Disclaimer: I own neither Harry Potter not Vampire Knight.

Summary: In this story Harry is a girl named Hayden, and she discovers in her fourth year that she is the granddaughter (through Lily, who was adopted) of pureblood vampire Sanguini di Angelo, the vampire Harry met at Slughorn's party in Half-Blood Prince. (I gave him the last name in honor of my favorite fictional character ever, Nico di Angelo, from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. He's just too awesome for words.) After being turned on by Ron and Hermione when they finally find out, she escapes the country and attends Cross Academy, where Headmaster Kaien Cross offers her safety in exchange for her becoming a guardian.

Hayden ran as fast as she could, bitterly cursing at her so-called best friends as she sped past the castle grounds. She had, in all honestly, seen it coming, but that didn't mean she wasn't slightly hurt. After all, Ron and Hermione had been by her side since first year. They had been through so many ordeals, even if she was usually alone when she really could have used some help.

She could hear the two traitors stumbling after her in the distance, and snorted derisively. Hayden might have enhanced hearing, but with the way they were stomping around like elephants, she was under no illusion that she wouldn't have been able to hear them anyway. Nonetheless, she accelerated, running even faster (and certainly more gracefully than her pursuers) and gradually widening the distance. Thank Merlin she had Neville and Luna on her side, as they were probably doing whatever they could to lead the hunting party in the wrong direction.

Minutes later, she was sure that she had lost them. After all, while she was on friendly (enough) terms with the creatures of the forest and would be allowed to pass through without interference, the same could not be said for anyone else. Besides Hagrid, of course.

With a sigh, she stepped out of the Hogwarts boundaries, feeling the wards try to cling to her. Now that she knew how to feel magic, she could sense that Hogwarts (and what a surprise it had been to discover that the magnificent castle was sentient) felt sad that she had to leave, wanting to provide the safety and comfort that should have been the right to any student. Unfortunately, Hayden had never been truly safe at Hogwarts, what with the dangerous situations she had been thrown into by both Dumbledore and Voldemort.

She turned on the spot, and disappeared. Three hours later, when the search party finally arrived at the boundary (having been scouring the entire forest while fighting the creatures that lived there), no trace of her was left.

Reviews are extremely appreciated. I realize there's not much to comment on yet story-wise, but if nothing else…why not a poll?

Should I pair Ichijo Takuma with Luna? That would be an interesting pairing, I'm sure.

While I have nothing against the Shiki/Ichijo pairing, I'm pairing Senri with Rima in this story.

I'm also not entirely sure when I'll 'drop' Hayden into the Vampire Knight timeline. When Yuki is a pureblood, or when she's still human? Probably after her and Kaname leave and the academy is cleaning up after Rido. Note that I haven't read the manga series, so I'm going off the anime here.
