Harry Potter and the Heir of Slytherin

"Of course, being a pureblood, my magic works slightly differently than other vampires," Selene continued where they left off, forcing him to recast his spell. Harry was grateful as it gave him something to focus on other than the innocent if slightly erotic images his mind was conjuring up. "My magic enhances my body naturally. Most vampires are only as strong as the blood they drink, meaning they only gain special properties if they drink the blood of a witch or wizard."

Selene smiled proudly as she pointed to herself.

"I was born with magic, which means I do not need to drink the magic of someone magical in order to gain any special properties, though doing so may boost my own natural abilities."

"I see," Harry was very interested in what she was saying. Her words were easily causing the scholar in him to come out. "What special abilities do you have?"

"As I said, my magic enhances my body. I'm sure you've noticed that I am much stronger than any other fourteen year old girl you've met." Harry snorted, she was much stronger than any full grown man he had met. "While all vampires are naturally stronger than a normal human and witches and wizards, I am much stronger, and I can move faster, my reflexes are better, I have perfect hand to eye coordination. Basically, everything about me has been enhanced beyond what anyone else could hope to match be they vampire or otherwise."

"Except for another pureblood," Harry added.

"Yes, though their abilities might be different than mine," Selene looked slightly pensive at the thought of the other purebloods. "Not much is known about the other twenty six. At least, our coven knows very little about them. They may have properties completely different to my own. There is so little known about us because of our scarcity and how secretive most purebloods are."

"You've been fairly forthcoming with information on yourself," Harry pointed out the small folly in her words. Selene just gave him a smile, one that was not in any way predatory but filled with an emotion Harry actually understood.

Gratitude.

"I trust you," was her simple reply. For some reason, those three words made Harry feel innately pleased with himself, though he did not fully understand why.

They soon reached their seats, which was on the second floor. Harry had to admit that the theater room was impressive. Very impressive. He had been to movie theaters before, but none that were this large.

Le Grand REX was an atmospheric movie theater. It featured an auditorium ceiling meant to give the illusion that they were sitting under an open night sky. The feature was well done, though not on the level of the ceiling within the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

The rest of the theater was equally impressive. The room resembled that of a Mediterranean courtyard complete with interior fountains, statues, reliefs designed in the walls and vines hanging down from the Mediterranean stage architecture that had been built to act as a wall for the theater on either side.

Aside from featuring Mediterranean architecture and a night sky overhead and having two thousand eight hundred seats, Le Grand REX also featured the largest screen in all of Europe. Harry did not know how large the screen was, but he could take an educated guess just based on the size of the curtains that were being hung by the large archway over the stage.

Did Bram Stocker's Dracula really rate being viewed in such a large place?

Since the movie would not begin for another fifteen minutes, Harry decided to readdress the topic they had been on before Selene started explaining how her powers worked.

"So, if you didn't use any kind of magic, just how did you manage to procure that bottle of wine at Maxim's?"

"That? I just used my natural beauty and a little sex appeal," Selene gave him a fang filled grin to express her self satisfaction at what she had done. "You would be surprised at how easy it is for someone like me to manipulate men. Show off a little skin, give a flirtatious smile and voila, men will be eating out of the palm of my hand."

Harry blinked once, twice, thrice. His mind turned over her words, dissecting them in a way only he could and coming to a startling conclusion about what she did to the man in the restaurant.

"You seduced him."

In colloquial language and fictional literature, seduction was the process of deliberately enticing a person, to lead astray, as from duty, rectitude, or the like; to corrupt, to persuade or induce to engage in sexual behaviour. The word seduction stemmed from Latin and literally meant "to lead astray". The term Seduction was often seen negatively and involved temptation and enticement, often sexual in nature, to lead someone astray into a behavioral choice they would not have made if they were not in a state of sexual arousal.
