Chapter 2 – The Unfortunate Events of Severus Snape.
Severus Snape, a name the man currently brewing potions despised. Yet he could not be rid of it, as the name was his own… He sniffed as he carefully added another ingredient to the bubbling brew. The fumes were making his prominent nose itch. Severus scoffed as he rubbed his nose, thinking of all the times in the past he had been made fun of for it, and how, even now; even though other adults were too mature or polite to mention it he could tell they noticed it. But what was he supposed to do? He was from a Roman descent and it came with the territory, as did the rumors that he was a vampire. He couldn't really blame them; he had dark looks, with his pale skin, long raven-black hair, dark eyes, and forbidding presence. They called his hair "greasy" but in fact it was not. The so-called "grease" was in fact a solution he rubbed through his hair to protect it from damage or even falling out due to long periods of potion brewing. He was a potions master after all and taught those snot-nosed brats all day, -because he was indeed a potions teacher and resident potions master of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry- there was hardly a time when he got the chance to be without it. However contrary to the belief of the ton (crowds of gossipers), he DID shower, and he showered every day! Also his hair, when not full of fume protectant, was in fact quite soft, shiny and silky.
The only thing that the ton seemed to have correct about him was that he, Severus Snape, was INDEED a Vampire. Yes, that's right; he was NOT human, he was in fact a blood-sucking creature of the night! Of course, he wasn't a barbarian. How else would he be allowed to teach inside a school if he could not control himself? No, he got his blood from where every vampire got their blood. The wizarding 'Blood Bank'. This 'blood bank was quite different from muggle blood banks in the fact that all a wizard needed was a blood replenishing potion to survive a bad injury, and NOT a blood transfusion. Therefore any blood banks in the wizarding world were there to provide food for the vampires to quench their thirst so they didn't prey on innocent witches and wizards.
Severus wasn't sure how innocent those that would be saved were, but if it kept the ministry off his arse he would go along with it.
Severus went to add the final ingredient and sneered at the fact that he was almost out. It was rare too. 'Damn it!' he thought, he looked at his star chart and realized he was in luck. Tonight at midnight was the optimum harvesting time for that ingredient. A small shiver went down his spine at the thought of going in to the forbidden forest by him-self that night.
Now, Severus Snape was no coward, but that didn't mean he was stupid. He knew what was in that forest and he wasn't afraid of it. What he was leery of was what he didn't know of that might be lurking where it wasn't supposed to be. He had run into too many things that weren't supposed to be there for there not to be any worry about going in there.
Potion finished, Severus bottled it and set to getting ready to harvest some Moonbeam flowers.
That night Severus left the castle and set out toward the forbidden forest the second Severus set foot into the brush he sensed something amiss… 'My luck is entirely too perfect' he thought sarcastically, 'But I need that rare Moonbeam flower! It is far too expensive on my salary!' he told himself irately. And so, full of agitation he continued on in to the forest, hoping he didn't run in to whatever it was that was making the forest go silent.
After a couple of hours of walking, Severus reached the clearing that he knew bred Moonflowers of all sorts and colors, each color held a different purpose, and each purpose just as rare as the next. He was glad he hadn't been summoned by the Dark Lord tonight so he could have plenty of time to get as much as he needed and maybe extra to sell at the next Potions Masters Convention.
When Severus broke through the clearing, he saw not only the beautiful flowers glowing in the moonlight, but he saw, standing among them, the most captivatingly beautiful being he had ever laid eyes upon. The being had long white moonlight silk for hair that flowed down –her?-his?-Its body to its mid-shin and strange tattoos on its face, not to mention how tall it was, towering over an already tall man by at least a foot. But what really made Severus breath halt, his stomach flip flop, and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up; what really made a shot of pure terror race down his spine' was the ultra-cold, inhuman, unearthly, slit, amber eyes. Eyes that were steadily turning a foreboding shade of red… The being whispered something in a raspy voice, but Severus missed it in his realization too late that he hadn't in fact, been breathing the entire time, and he welcomed the all-consuming darkness as it took him. His last thought was, 'Maybe I'll finally die this time, and be released from the hell I live in'…
