I got permission from the translator, Tomi, to put up this translation of the preview chapter of the Vampire Knight Novel "Sin of Meloncholy Ice" that appeared in LaLa magazine. :D
It looks really cute! And I hear that Tomi is working on translating the entire novel! Which makes me more than insanely happy. :) Tomi was also kind enough to say that I could post the novel translation when it was finished. So yay! I look forward to that!
Anyway, here's the link:

Small expert from the translated preview text...
(I edited the format just a wee bit in this part for the web. Also I changed a few L's to R's just because I'm more used to reading those names that way. Sorry)Fuuka forgot even to brink her eyes. She couldn’t take her eyes off from the person who just appeared on the stage.
What a beautiful, black-hair—a splendid color of darkness. He was like the ruler of the night. Stood there gently smiling with elegance and dignity—And Fuuka was at loss—Lost in his beauty, she couldn’t help but to be drawn to him…
Beautiful…
What a beautiful person…
The world was turning to his color… I can hardly breathe now… But I feel such happiness at same time…What is this feeling?
My heart is pounding so hard now… My cheeks feel hot… I’m embarrassed see him straight… but can’t look away, because it’s too precious…
This feeling….What is it?
Meanwhile on stage, Ichijou tried to gain a control of himself even though it was obvious that this person’s appearance shocked him greatly.
Why Kaname is here? This is just a social gathering for the show and there is no need for him to come…???Then, just as he read what was in Ichijou’s mind, Kaname smile and said,
“I just wanted to congratulate all new students… Shouldn’t I have come?”
“No, way~!” replied girls in the audience, before Ichijou could.
Next, there appeared other members of Night Class —Ruka, Shiki, and Rima— Seeing such gorgeous faces, it was almost a dream-like view on the stage.
“Hey, Ruka. Why didn’t you stop Kaname?” whispered Ichijou.
“I did think that Kaname-sama should not be bothered by these low-life humans, but…” said Ruka angrily.
“…Well, there is nothing we can do to stop him anyway…“, added Shiki.
“Gee…” With a sigh, Ichijou finally put his smile back on his face and turned to audience. “…As you can see, our NC’s chairman came to say his congratulation to you all. Kaname, take it away!”

The novel also has a lot of beautiful pictures by Ms. Hino in it. Below I've put a few of my favorites. These were all scanned by the wonderful
Alessia-Chan and do not belong to me in any way, shape or form. (Thank you again for the great scans you do, Alessia-Chan!)
Of course, my all time favorite of the pictures...

Mmmm.... Kaname... ;)
Also like these ones of Aido:


He looks so kind of... sweet... in those pics. :) Hey, YenGirl... I know that that's technically not the right girl in those pictures, but she looks a lot like Yori, yes...? ;D
Oh and these of little Zero are just too Kawaii...



That last one almost makes me cry though...
*huggles little Zero and Ichiru and wishes things hadn't had to go wrong between them*
Those are just my favorite pics. There are more pictures in the novel. You can see them and original, bigger resolution scans of the above pictures that Alessia-Chan did
here.
