Vampire rights.

"Well to make it simple. Vampires in the magical world can keep slave blood stocks. Usually these are criminal wizards who commit crimes. They are bound up in all sorts of spells to not be able to escape and then they are used as long term food sources. Blood replenishing potions are a good way to make sure they stay healthy. Say if I found an old Nazi wizard who was wanted I could legally as a lord capture him and sell him off to a vampire coven for a decent chunk of cash. Also your able to buy magical blood like dragon blood and the like in our community. It may be expensive but it's all legal. Also the government can sell off people like death row inmates, or let them feed on the homeless. It works as population control and keeps the cities clean of what officials might think of as a blemish on their beautiful city plus it provides extra funds to their pocket." I say with a shrug as they gape at me.

"And what about all of those missing children pictures in stores." Bella asks me fearfully.

"Now that is illegal kidnapping usually. Some old vampire families like their blood a little on the younger side." I explain "this is frowned upon in most magical communities but they don't really go out of their way to prevent it as some of the lords in charge of politics use this as a way to make funds."

The world of Harry Potter isn't always a pleasant and light filled experience. There's crimes like drugs, murder, muggle hunting activities, rape, all sorts of nasty things. I mean they literally sell off their 10 year old daughters for money and alliances. You expect it to all be sunflowers and roses?

"It's basically like every other part of the world with slave trade and human trafficking." I say with a frown. "Vampires just mostly tend to eat their possessions."

They all contemplate on this for a while silently.

Sam looked at me and asked what everyone else was thinking. "And what are your views on all of this." He eyes me critically.

"To be honest I support some of it and some of it I don't support. Feeding criminals with unpardonable crimes to vampires. Go right ahead. Kidnapping children and selling them? No. Selling off death row inmates for money? Genius. Wasting tax payer dollars to support people like that when they can just be sold off for money for things like school funds or something. Go right ahead. Eating the homeless however could go about a different way. Have them donate blood or something for money, make it a job for them. However if they are just like junkies and trash like that who waste all their money on drugs and don't try to improve themselves.Fuck'em feed them to the vampires. Seems like a better alternative than overdosed homeless people dead in alleys." Some people may not agree but hey. Not my problem.

They choose to keep quite neither agreeing or disagreeing. No one is ever right or wrong in this case. Some people could want to preserve all life and some people may think just kill everybody. There's always going to be people on different sides.

"So how are vampires and werewolves treated in your community other than that?" Carlisle asks fascinated by the politics.

"Badly. Not going to lie most of the wizarding society sucks ass if your not a pureblood wizard. Human born wizards struggle to find jobs, werewolves are even worse, and vampires are classified mostly as just magical creatures and you don't have too many rights. The only reason you guys get any kind of say is because your strong all the time. Werewolves are fucked because they get strong only on the full moon. Most of them are poor and struggle to find work even in the nonmagical world due to having to miss days for their change." I explain as he nods.

"The only reason people fuck off and leave me alone is because I'm a lord. But even then the ministry still tries to dictate to me sometimes. They currently can't do anything to me though as the most they got would be picking a wife for me if I didn't have one by the time I was 16. They have old laws where lords need a wife to be able to birth an heir. Magical birth has dropped to an all time low. Mostly because of inbreeding and dark lords waltzing around killing off whole family lines. Then pureblood wizards don't want to dirty their blood by mating with nonmagical humans." I explain some magical world bullshit.

Honestly I'll have to try out some worlds that don't have these kinds of laws or contracts. Just to see how different they are.

"It doesn't seem too much better than the human world." Carlisle says.

"It's really not that much better. I mean we get some cool magic but in all honesty when the hell am I ever going to need to do 95% of the crap they taught me? Turning rats into cups. Or other simple things. I mean most of it is like high grade math for normal people. You'll never have to use most of it ever again in your life after you learn it." I explain as they nod. "Basically the ability to teleport is great and actually potions comes in more useful that most of the other Magic's. I guess it all just depends on your job I suppose."

After that discussion we mostly just work on setting up the clearing to catch the vampires off guard. Then the wolves head off to the reserve once again with Leah staying behind to keep me company. She was being overprotective and didn't trust leaving me with a bunch of vampires and there was nothing I could do to stop her. I'd be setting up my trunk at the cullens since Alice refused to let me get a hotel room.

"You have that apartment in your trunk and your free to set it up in my room. No need to waste money on a hotel room. Your going to be spending time with us for a while anyway." She said happily.
