Hermione Granger; A Vampire…

Hermione Granger was Taking a walk through the forbidden forest when she heard an odd rustling noise thought the thickest of the trees. She had come for a walk because the stress from the her N.E.W.T exams where getting to her, fogging up her brain like an inevitable mist. As a top student she had nothing to worry about really but she couldn't help her mind going to the dark places in her mind, where she failed all exams. Just thinking about being handed back her papers and seeing a red T marking the papers made her feel faint.

The rustling noise was there again. What was it? Maybe an animal. She was starting to get scared because who knew what was here in the forbidden forest? She knew she wasn't meant to be here but the dark canopy of the trees was too tempting. Somewhere to get away from the stuffy classrooms.

She turned on the spot squinting into the darkness. It was just after sundown and she was meant to be in the Gryffindor common room now, if anyone saw her here she was going to be in trouble.

Then there was a rush of air just by her. She spun around scanning the forest for any more signs of movement. She was scared now. She started to walk back but then another rush of air and an unusual whisper from the trees sent her spinning round again. Reaching for her wand she muttered "lumos" and a bright blue light erupted from the tip of her wand. She brandished it like a sword and swivels round again on the spot.

Nothing.

Then all of a sudden a man appeared out of nowhere. He had the palest skin Hermione had ever seen and his eyes were almost black and were glinting dangerously. His hair was black and was swept to one side neatly. He seemed perfectly normal except for the fact that peeking out of his mouth which was set in a dangerous grin, were a set of pointed fangs and his eyes were a reddish purple colour and there seemed to be cracks forming from his eyes down to his cheeks in an odd colour of purple.

Her whole body was screaming to run. Her heart was beating like it was trying to push out of her chest and she could hear it ringing in her ears.

"Yes, its loud isn't it?"

The man spoke in a soft purr. His voice was too soft. It made the hairs on the back of Hermione's neck stand on end.

"Wh- what… who are you?" she stammers although she already knew the answer. Hermione was top of the class in every subject. Of course she would know what made up of a vampire.

Then with a jolt, she realised he could hear her heart.

He started to walk slowly around her as if observing her from a distance, his finger stroking his chin, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

"Hmm, yes she'll do." He murmured to himself.

Hermione was starting to shake. She knew vampires could turn humans by killing them with vampire blood in their system, and though she didn't have vampire blood in her system, she knew he could compel her to drink some of his blood and then kill her. She had a wand but she knew the vampire would be too fast for her. Nevertheless she raised her wand.

"Stupefy!"

But of course the vampire was too fast. The jet of red light, which was aimed at the vampire vanished into mid- air as it found nothing to make contact with. One moment he was right in front of her. Then the next thing she knew she was begin thrown in the air, and hit the trunk of a tree hard, her breath catching against her windpipe as though it couldn't get out.

She scrabbled at the ground for her wand which had flew out of her hand at the sudden attack. Another rush of wind and an odd whisper from the trees caused her to spin around again.

The vampire was a mere 10 feet away from her observing her and made no signs of attempting to attack again. She picked up her wand but again the vampire was 10 feet away and then he was right in front of her. He snatched her wand again and snapped it in two, his eyes glinting dangerously.

"Stupid girl, don't you know not to attempt to attack a vampire? Might be the last thing you ever do." His voice was soft again like silk.

"Now , I wish for you to deliver a message to Hogwarts school."

Hermione waited, trembling wondering what could this vampire possibly want to tell Hogwarts? Was he once a student here? She must inform Dumbledore that there was vampire here in the forest. How could the headmaster possibly let students into he forbidden forest if he knew there were creatures like vampires roaming around undetected? He didn't know otherwise he wouldn't rest until all were banished from the grounds.

"And what would that be?" Hermione said, marvelling at how steady her voice sounded even though inside she was petrified.

The vampire stepped forward and drew level with Hermione, his eyes bored into hers.

"Game on." he said, and once again his eyes cracked purple and fangs pushed their way through. He snapped his head forward, his hands holding Hermione's head to the side.

She felt the stinging pain as the fangs pierced her skin.

And then all went black.
