Chapter 542: New addition

The vampire princess went through three changes in mood in quick succession as she understood what Nick had said. The first was confusion because the name he said was not her own , the second was realization that he was baiting her and the third was anger at falling for it. The library was usually fairly quiet but as she released her bloodlust it got deathly silent. Regardless of all else she was still a powerful tier four being so to everyone in the library it was like death was leaning over their shoulder whispering in their ears that it was there.-

Nick sighed and flicked her on the forehead snapping her out of it and letting everyone else in the library breath out in relief. "Learn to take a joke or you'll find your stay here at Hogwarts much shorter than you may like." he chastised her firmly. She might be there for him but Nick wasn't going to let her stay at the school if she turned murderous every time he played a prank on her. That wasn't a laughing matter as she was legitimately wanting to kill something just now over his little prank.-

Calling that awkward would have been the understatement of the year as besides Luna that had the magical ability to gel with pretty much anyone who wasn't an insufferable jerk the others had no idea how to approach the vampire. They couldn't ask about what it was like being a vampire either as Mina was born one and simply couldn't explain the difference since she had never experienced it herself. "So like how old are you anyways?" Ron eventually asked and every single person in the room looked at him like he was an idiot.-

"Mate you don't ask a woman that , like ever. She's one hundred and five." Nick said with a grin as he directly exposed her age. "Is that a lot for a vampire?" Ron asked not sure about it. "Depends on the vampire but for a natural born like her not really , she's barely considered an adult by natural born standards so in human years like seventeen or so." Nick said with a shrug. "When did you become an expert on the subject anyways?" Tracy asked confused. "I think it would be rather strange if I didn't know a good deal about them since I have a fairly good relationship with the royals and even have the ear of the king of vampires himself , her dad for context." Nick said honestly.-

"Of course you do." Daphne said with a tired sigh after hearing what he said. "Aren't vampires considered dark creatures though? No offense meant of course." Hermione asked while covering her bases with Mina. "They are indeed but like most things it is more complicated than it seems. See the things that the ministry and most wizards are most concerned about are the blood thralls and lower vampire species that have a bad habit of being bloodthirsty monsters that kill everything they come across. Above that is the true vampires that are basically just people that drink blood to survive but are otherwise just the same as everyone else." He explained honestly.
