Vanteerian Charm (Challenge) as issued by becca589

Challenge:

On his seventeenth birthday, Harry finds out that he is no longer human. He doesn’t know what he is, but he has long sleek black wings (and he’s bloody beautiful, but you can decide whether that’s a recent change or not, perhaps just a toning down and softening of his features or something). His vision sharpens almost impossibly so, as does his other senses. He finds that he can’t eat normal food anymore, as it’s not exactly nice to taste every single ingredient just as strongly as the main results. When people find out, like Sev, Dumbledore, Lucius, Draco, Ron and Hermione … oh and Minerva as well, I like it when her and Harry are close *grins*… he is given Elven food to eat. (until then he can either force himself, or simply eat bread and toast or something.)

He tries to hide what he is when he goes back to Hogwarts, but doesn’t get very far along and he finds out that he’s a Vanteera. (more about that below). He and Dumbledore are close, like father and son (or grandfather and grandson if you prefer) and Harry goes to see him at least once a week to talk and play chess and things like that.

Severus Snape is his mate.

Lucius and Draco Malfoy are both on the light, with Lucius being a spy I think. Draco and Harry can be something like brothers, but nothing more than that. Harry’s virginity is for Sev. I like angst, so perhaps when Harry gets his wings on his birthday, his uncle throws him out of the house and he goes to stay with the Malfoys, who he befriended in his sixth year. Maybe Lucius and Narcissa adopts him, even though he is of age. (That’s optional… and if you want, you can make Narcissa dead or evil, but give Lucius another lover, either male or female.)

You can decide whether the wings stay there all the time or perhaps sort of retract into his shoulder blades, leaving thin scars.

I don’t know how you can twist it so that Harry is a Vanteera, perhaps it skips generations, or perhaps Lily was one. It can even be done, perhaps, by choice. Maybe another Vanteera decides to help him and thus changes him into one of them. If you do it this way, then Harry must only remember an extremely beautiful man or woman in a dream. The Vanteera would then disappear and not show his or her self at least until Harry’s at Hogwarts and knows what he is.


A bit on the Vanteera: (Vanteerian is the name of the race, Vanteera is the name of each individual creature of said race)

A Vanteera is very rare magical creature that is now very nearly extinct. A Vanteera has sleek smooth wings, the blackest of blacks. It is to be strong, powerful and a sexual creature. It has the grace and movements of a cat (even the purr) and, rather like werewolves, can only have one mate in its lifetime. They have no specific time of transformation, but they have something like an animagus form of a sleek black winged panther and can change into it whenever it likes. They have razor sharp claws that grow when they are particularly emotional of any kind, or when they’re hurt. Instinctive

So basically, a Vanteera has the heightened senses of a werewolf/large cat, the wings of an angel, the strength of a vampire, the lifeline of an elf, the sexual nature of an incubus and the beauty of a Veela.

Each Vanteera has these special magical attributes: Shadow Magic, Elemental Magic (both at varying degrees for each, of course. Harry’s being strong :P). Ability to see magic around people and items, like see what talents they have etc. Tears of healing (I couldn’t resist). Fast healing.

They also have these weaknesses: Allergic to Salt. They don’t react well to artificial lights of any kind, it burns their skin and makes it peel… and hurts like hell lol. Doesn’t include fire, candles but it does include want light if it’s directed pointedly at them. (I just have this mental image of Harry using his shadow magic and sneaking around, then someone hears something in a dark corridor, turns around with a Lumos spell and Harry hisses, clawing out at it before shrinking back into the shadows)

A Vanteera feeds off pleasure. But this desire is only awakened when the mate is discovered.

A Vanteera is seen by the Wizarding community at large as something of a fallen angel/hybrid. I don’t necessarily think you should go into reactions too much, apart from those of his close friends and family, but if you do then I think its best to have the Vanteera as being accepted and maybe even revered.

Rules:

• MUST be HP/SS (OR I could possibly stretch to HP/RL if that’s easier)
• Severus must be Harry’s first, it’s up to you whether or not Sev pursues Harry or the other way around, but don’t make Harry too sure of himself in that department. I like him shy :p
• Harry has to bottom, sorry folks, I just have a hard time reading Sev bottoming.
• Lucius and Draco are on the light.
• Harry must be powerful.
• Harry obviously must be a Vanteera. (Sev can be a vampire if you like.)
• Voldemort is alive
• Harry isn’t all angry, and doesn’t shout all the time (it makes me cringe)
• If you want Ron and Hermione to be alive, then they have to be grown up and accepting. I like maturity.

I do like angst but I like humour and stuff as well as long as it is mixed in well with said angst. It can be as long as you like really, but I’m just reeeeaaaalllllyyyyy desperate for someone to write this. I sooo want to do it myself, but I have way too many fics on at the minute anyway. You can make it as angsty as you like, I suppose, and Voldie needs to be killed towards the end. You don’t have to spend the fic all the way through concentrating on the Dark Lord, that could just be an excuse for lessons and training and such.

I’d prefer it to be an R rating, or an NC17.

Pleeeassseeeee take up the challenge *sniffles*
