A/N:

Hey gang, this is the second chapter of my very first fanfic! I'm so excited!!

Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, and I'll try to update as quickly as possible.

READ AND REVIEW!! PLEASE!

Italic is everyone's thoughts, dreams and memories.

Disclaimer:

I do not own Harry Potter! I wish I did, cos he's a hunk ;) but unfortunately I do not. (wails) It all belongs to J.K Rowling!!

Stuck inside an empty classroom, with SNAPE! And it wasn't even necessary! It wasn't like he was teaching them after all, who would want to be taught by a murderer?

Ron Weasley stared at the bane of his existence. The greasy bastard! Who did he think he was, waltzing in here looking for Harry like he had every right. Specially after dying! That part was what confused Ron, and he knew from the strained look on Hermione's face that it had her baffled as-well. Ron, Harry and Hermione had witnessed Snape dying, it had been gross and deeply horrific. Yet here the git is, making our lives miserable, even though he's supposed to be dead!

Ron watched Snape for a moment and noticed something equaling as disturbing as his death. He was staring at that cut on her head, and licking his lips! That's just gross!

Ron's eyes snapped wide. He quickly thought back to the books he had read when he was younger, and immediately wished he had them with him, it was crucial that he got the signs correct.

Closing his eyes he tried to remember all he had read about vampires and their habits. It had been an odd pleasure of his years ago, it was his obsession of sorts. Always been fascinated with the blood suckers. But now, when he really needed the information, his mind goes blank! Letting out a frustrated howl he storms to the door.

"Make sure he doesn't leave, and don't let him near you until I figure this out. I wont be long."

With that he stormed out of the room.

Hermione stared after her ''boyfriend'. She laughs in her mind, it was going to take some time to get used to that! Her and Ron a couple!

"Well, well, well. It seems the young Mr. Weasley has abandoned you," Severus drawled.

"No he has not! You heard him, he's coming back, he's just got something to do," Hermione told him through gritted teeth.

Severus smirks and looks out the window, it seemed things have calmed down outside. The Death Eaters, obeying an order, had retreated into the forest. Severus silently murmured a spell that would allow him to track his love, wanting to make sure he wasn't heading straight into danger.

He stared at the window as a faded image of Ron walking through the corridors appeared. Where are you going, my love? Severus wondered as he watched Ron slip in and out of the shadows, constantly checking behind him. Be careful love.

Hermione watched Professor Snape as she thought of a good explanation as to why he was alive, but her mind was empty. She silently groaned, her mind would fail when she really needed it. Sometimes she thought that being smart was useless, being smart didn't save your life when in danger. Or put food on the table. She sometimes envied Harry's bravery and guts. She just wished that she could somehow be like him without changing herself to much.

Ron silently slipped into the library and headed to the back where he would spend all of his time while research with Harry and Hermione. Laughing quietly he remembered all those times he had told them he'd seen a book that might help them. All the while filling his brain with his obsession. It was pitch black in the room and he barely made it without killing himself.

Casting Lumos, he skimmed the shelves looking for the right book. The Lives and Behaviour of Vampires. Grabbing the book down from the shelf he quietly set it down on a near by table and started looking for the right page. It had taken him two whole weeks to finish reading the book, because of course the author would have to drabble on for 842 pages. Most of it was useless bullshit, the author harping on about why he thought vampires acted the way they did. As if anyone cares what that prick thinks, he thought to himself.

It took him ten minutes to find the right page, the light was bad and his eyes hurt from straining them. His head snapped up when he heard the footsteps. Shit, that is not good, that is so not good. He grabbed the book and shrunk it so it would fit in his pocket. Harry I really wish I had your cloak, it would come in handy right about now, he whined to himself.

"Nox."

Delved into darkness Ron listened carefully, trying to pin point the exact location of the footsteps. Being as careful as possible, he inched his way towards the door, pinned against the bookcases so his didn't trip over a chair or table.

When he was sure that it was safe, he put a feather light charm on himself and sprinted through the door, literally running on thin air to mask his footsteps.

His breathing was fast and ragged by the time he got back to the classroom his friends were in. Stumbling into the room, he quickly closed the door and leaned against it.

"Ron!" His three friends gasped.

"Good god Weasley, what have you gone and done now?"

Casting a dark glare in Snape's direction, Ron pulled the book out of his pocket, re-sized it and flipped to the page he had been reading.

After five minute of ignoring Snape's jibes and his friends questions, Ron finally closed the book and let his head fall back against the door with a loud 'thump'.

Hermione waved a hand in front of his face.

"Hello, earth to Ron? Is there anyone in there, or has your pea sized brain decided to go on holiday?"

"Very funny 'Mione. I'll have you know, I was busy researching and dodging Death Eaters while you were safe and sound in here," Ron told her, sliding to the ground.

Hermione frowns and crosses her arms. "No one told you to leave this room Ronald!"

The only answer she got was a grunt. Ron pulled his knees to his chest and buried his head in them.

"Just out of curiosity, what were you researching Weasley? I never thought you would ever enter the library willingly," Snape sneered.

Ron smirked but didn't answer. Standing, he grabbed hold of Hermiones arm and pulled her to the other side of the room, away from Snape.

"Listen, I think of found out how Snape survived that attack. But I don't know if its a good thing or not," he told Hermione.

Hermione crosses her arms and looks at him with a frown. "Ok, so what did you come up with?"

Ron walked back to the door and picked up the book. Returning to Hermione he cast a quick glance at Snape before showing it to her. "This, I used to read stuff like this when I was little. As you can see, it's a book on vampires. I was looking at Snape earlier and I noticed he was practically drooling over the cut on your head, that and licking his lips. So it got me thinking, one of the only creatures that I know about could survive such venomous bites were, vampires, along with dragons and elves." He told her in a hushed voice.

Hermione stared at him, a grin on her face, trying desperately not to laugh. "Ron that's absurd, Dumbledore would never allow a vampire to teach at his school. There are tests to know and he would never allow it."

Ron looked at her shocked, his eyes wide and jaw hanging open. He had actually done something good, actually figured something out, that Hermione couldn't and she was laughing at him. How dare she! He risked his life to get that information and she actually had the gall to laugh.

"I'm telling you Hermione, whether you want to believe me or not, Snape is a VAMPIRE," he explained, his voice rising a notch.

At the other end of the room, Severus was listening intently to their hushed conversation with a small smile on his face. Upon hearing Ron's rising voice, Severus turned to face them and began to clap.

Ron and Hermione turned at the sound of applause, each staring at Snape as if he'd lost his mind.

"Very good Mr. Weasley, for the first time in your miserable life you've managed to figure something out before the insufferable know-it-all. I must say, I'm very surprised you didn't figure it out Ms. Granger. Albus, myself and the rest of the staff were sure that you would figure it out when the rumours were floating around," he sneered at them, grinning widely, flash his fangs.

Ron stared at him, his face not showing any sign of shock. He had after all, known. Pushing Hermione behind him, he nodded to Neville and Luna who had been talking quietly at the door, and raised his wand. "There is one thing that I can't figure out. Every book I've ever read about vampires have clearly stated how attractive vampires are, it was said that they used their looks to lure their victims to them. And yet, your the most unattractive man I've ever met."

At this Severus lunged, grabbing Ron by the throat, and sneered. "That's what magic is for Mr. Weasley."

With that he accesses his vampiric powers and allows his real appearance to show. His hair growing past his shoulders, losing the greasy look for a silky shine. His nose appears to shrink, once a big hooked mess, now a modern-ed size button nose. His face loses the wrinkles and yellowish tinge, the results left him with a smooth, pale face with high cheek bones.

Ron stood shocked, staring at the man that was his ex-potions teacher. He looked completely different! His greasy hair, his crooked teeth and his big hooked nose was gone! Merlin's balls he's gorgeous, Ron thought, wait a minute, what? NO I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT! Snape isn't gorgeous, he's SNAPE!

Ron blushed, ashamed that such a thought had entered his head.

My god, he's beautiful when he blushes, despite the fact that the colour clashes with his hair, Severus thought with a smirk.

Meanwhile Neville and Luna looked on with shocked looks on their faces, who would have thought that Snape really was a vampire?

Even Neville had thought that rumour was ridiculous, Snape had been seen outside, in the sunlight. It seemed Snape was more powerful than any of the students thought. Neville shuddered at the thought and shrunk into a corner, he didn't want Snape taking a nip out of his neck.

Hermione sat on the floor, reading the book Ron had brought from the library, trying to find out why she hadn't noticed before Ron. Most of the books context was standard vampire information. Quickly flipping to the page Ron had been on, she found some information about vampires, that even she didn't know, like that fact that all vampires grew up learning how to make potions. Hoping that one day a potion would be made to curb the blood lust that consumed them. Reading on she became to engrossed in her research that she wasn't paying attention to the talking that was going around her.

When everybody finally believed that Snape ment them no harm, which included a wizard oath, something that Severus was able to do considering he is just a half-blood, they finally left the room in search of Harry.

Severus was quite shocked to find that very little time had past since he entered the castle, what had felt like hours on end was actually just a little over an hour.

All the magic in the air must have something to do with it. Severus had thought it best for them to split up, so Neville and Luna went in search of a teacher while Severus had followed Ron and his girlfriend in search of Harry.

They met a couple of Death Eaters on their way, whom they quickly dis-batched of, and Severus was finally able to feed like he had planned to when he first got to the castle. Hermione turned her back in disgust, while Ron found himself unable to look away, his gaze locked with Snapes as he fed. While staring at Severus, his body heat seemed to drop from his head to his groin. Blushing madly he put it down to the adrenaline flowing through his veins.

But Severus knew different, as soon as he caught the smell of his loves arousal, he dropped the body, and slowly licked his lips all the while staring at Ron. He grinned widely when Ron's heart rate got faster, and the smell got stronger.

Maybe it wont be as hard as I thought, maybe I will be able to convince him, after all I don't look as I used to, I looked like that for so long that I had actually forgotten that it was a glamour. Maybe the gods really do know what they are doing, Severus thought to himself, all the while his heart began to swell once more, with hope. Hope that his love would be his in every sense of the word, and soon.

With a smug smile he turned sharply, his long black cloak, billowing around him. Ron snapped out of the daze he had been in to find Hermione glancing between him and Snape with a frown on her face.

Ron ducks his head, trying desperately to hide his red face, but failing miserably. Hermione scowls knowing instantly that something isn't right.

"Are you two imbeciles going to stand there all day, or are you going to help me find Potter?" Severus called out to them.

Ron and Hermione quickly followed him, not wanting to see his temper now that his secret was out.

A/N:

That's that one finished, yay! Hope you like the story so far.
I wanted to introduce the attraction between Severus and Ron early in the story so I'll be able to concentrate on heating things up in later chapters.
Remember it's rated M for later chapters.

Another thing, i will be going through small amounts of the battle through Sev and Ron's view, which mean i wont be writing about the battle in the forest between Harry and Voldemort, but i will hopefully be writing about the end of the battle.

A sexy Snape, who would have thought it :D
