Chapter 101: First Lesson(2)
Kai was standing in front of his class preparing to start his lecture.
"Since we have gotten our introductions down the lesson will start. I am aware that your previous professor has not taught you about vampires, so I will teach you about the vampire kind. Remember this will only happen once as it is not part of your curriculum, so open your parchment and get your quills ready.
Before I begin can anyone tell me what you know about vampires?" He asked the class. He saw that they were all looking at him with rapt attention as he talked.
A few hands went up, all of them from Gryffindor. "Mr Finnigan you may start."
"Well, I understand that they have sharp fangs that let them turn other people that get bitten by them into vampires like them and they are poisoned by garlic. They ehm… also, drink blood, sir." Seamus Finnigan said hesitantly.
"Yes Mr Finnigan, what you have said is partially true. It is true that vampires can turn others into other vampires but only when they inject them with their venom. You see?"
Kai opened his mouth and extended his fangs, brought out a small reinforced glass bleaker and dripped his venom into it. The venom coloured a light almost pink red. He went around the class and showed it to every student. The students looked at Kai's fangs in morbid fascination and fear.
"For the venom to turn one into a vampire-" Kai started after seeing the many disgusted and scared faces.
"It must be administered into the bloodstream for the transformation to take effect. And the fact that vampires must drink blood is quite true, there are in fact many vampires that do not wish to drink human blood and therefore drink animal blood. It is not so healthy and weakens them but they continue doing so.
Now regarding the rest of your answer. It is not true I am afraid, vampires are not poisoned by garlic. It may leave a terrible stench on our breaths but then again it is like that for most humans. Anyone else?"
This time Tracey Davis' hand was up as the sole Slytherin and Kai chose her. "Miss Davis please."
"They have superhuman speed and strength sir."
"Quite so miss Davis."
Kai's voice came from behind the students and they all turned around. He was standing there before vanishing and reappearing in front of the class. They gaped in awe at this sight.
"Would anyone else like to add anything else?"
Mostly everyone had let their hands down. The only two remaining were Harry's and Hermione.
"Mr Potter"
"Erm, I know that vampires have an incredibly powerful bloodlust when they haven't fed for a certain amount of time. They also have enhanced senses. Oh, their eyes also glow when they are hungry or angry."
"Very good Mr Potter. Does anybody have anything to add?"
"Miss Granger you may begin when you are ready"
"Vampires have an enhanced healing factor, strength and speed. They are hurt by silver and can be killed by being in the sunlight. They also can not do any magic and are highly dangerous."
It seemed that Hermione couldn't stop herself from joining in. Dumbledore had asked her not to speak when in Kai's classes but she couldn't control herself when talking about such an interesting subject.
"10 years ago there was a war between vampires and wizards. These vampires had managed to control dragons and were led by the Blood Lord himself. But the Ministry of magic managed to stop them with the help of the Romanian ministry and an unnamed organization's help."
When Hermione mentioned the war Kai's relaxed attitude disappeared. Instead, the students felt a cold stifling pressure on their chest, the room itself had darkened significantly and Kai's face was stony and emotionless.
"-They say that Dumble-"
"Enough Miss Granger" The vampire lord's voice rang throughout the class. "Please do not give me quotes from false sources-"
"-But sir it isn't false it was written in the Chronicles of the Blood War by Roger Price, an expert who fought on the battlefield and killed many vampires." The ignorant girl interrupted him.
"Detention Miss Granger! For talking back. Come to my office on Friday evening at 7 PM." Kai said angrily.
Hermione was quiet as were the rest of the class.
"None of what was written the books are true, take my word for it. I was there, fighting with the few vampires that weren't on the other side, there is a much deeper side to the war.
Anyway, let's continue the lesson. As Miss Granger pointed out earlier there are numerous weaknesses that vampires have. They include sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart and silver.
There is a chemical in the metal that manages to pierce through the natural defences regarding a vampire. Are you writing?"
The class was still frozen due to the oppressive aura coming out of Kai. He noticed it immediately and retracted it.
The students sighed in relief while Kai repeated what he said. He noticed that Hermione was still in shock from receiving a detention. She had never received a detention in her life.
"I am aware that there is a common belief that a cross and holy water will hurt a vampire or keep them away. It is false, vampires are not affected by religion and there are many that still believe in their own respective religions…"
The atmosphere was still down in the class and everybody was feeling the aftereffects of Kai's weak aura.
Kai's lesson continued without interruptions until the bell rang.
"Mr Potter please wait!" Kai called out.
Ron and Hermione who were rushing out stopped. "Are you going to be alright Harry?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, it's fine." He replied.
After the classroom was empty Harry walked up to Kai's desk. "So Mr Potter can you receive your private lessons tonight at 6 PM?"
"Yes, sir." Harry seemed to be struggling with something. "anything else Mr Potter?"
In the end, Harry didn't say anything and left the classroom.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

dragonfang1917 Now I am sure that there will be the people who do not understand why Kai snapped at Hermione.
The reason is that while he was fighting against Dahak, not only was Harry kidnapped. He went into a coma that prevented him from being able to save Harry. But he also had to hear how his sacrifices and loss were embellished and the credit and experiences were stolen from him.
