Somehow, that change doesn't even surprise me. Not only do most modern adaptations of Dracula seem to love doing that (it's right up there with portraying Lucy as a whore -_-), but the Cast Ladies LOVE taking old stories/myths and making it so that a man and woman who were antagonistic or who had no relationship were actually True Lovers. Odysseus and Circe? She didn't transform his men and force Odysseus to stay with her so she'd undo it! She actually was a kindly vampire priestess who singlehandedly got Odysseus and his crew past every obstacle and all just because he let her drink from him (which is even worse considering he tells her that Penelope is his One True Love...right before the narrative tells us that he and his men spend an entire fucking year lazing around on the island!) Cleopatra and Marc Antony? Cleopatra didn't seduce Antony in a political move to protect Egypt from Rome. She was overcome by his manly charms and he fell in True Love with her! Egypt fell because she neglected her duties in favor of Love. (I suspect "Antony and Cleopatra" was used as the source material for this, instead of the actual fucking historic characters, since we get no mention of Cleopatra also sexing up Caesar and having his kid, nor of her marrying her 10-year-old brother.)

It really would. Unfortunately, as Chosen shows, a couple of alleged humans going after a few vampires is considered sufficient grounds for Neferet declaring war on humans, with all the student body (who were human not so long ago and still have human friends and family!) cheering her on.
