Chapter 4: The Question of the Day

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize.

Riley was standing in her kitchen, unlocking her refrigerator; she took out one of the vials filled with red liquid that filled her refrigerator. She quickly relocked it after setting the vial on the counter. Riley stood over her sink, swirling the red liquid in the vial; she put the vial to her lips and let the red liquid slither down her throat.

"Riley!" Riley whipped around with the vial still in her hands; Riley dropped the glass vial in the sink when she saw Sirius's face pressed against the window. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand before hurrying over to the window to let Sirius in.

"What are you doing here?" She asked quickly.

"Just thought you could show me some more things." He said. Riley's body loosened and she didn't seem as tense.

"Sure but you have something on you nose, some dirt from the window." Riley laughed, "There's a towel on the counter, and I'll get things out while you clean up." Riley went to the wall while Sirius went to clean his face.

"Did you cut your finger or something?" Sirius called while he rinsed off the towel.

"Huh…oh… yeah, I uh… cut my finger." Riley said disheveled, "Here you want to use some automatics?" She asked getting Sirius to leave the kitchen. Riley had Sirius set a silencing spell and hover the pillows for targets as she had the guys do the other days. Sirius did marvelously; Riley got more eager to take the guys out to get the her revenge.

"That was great." Riley said after everything was put away and Sirius's practice was over.

"So great enough for you to want to go get lunch with me?" Sirius asked suavely.

"I don't think so. Thanks though." Riley laughed; Sirius was a little perplexed.

"What? Aww…come one, a harmless lunch." Sirius was shocked when she rejected him but he was persistent, especially if the girl was pretty. Riley scrunched up her face, "Then I guess I'll see you later." Sirius gave up for now.

The sun was down and the sky pitch black, a group of order members secured the perimeter of a brick house. They quietly unlocked the front door, a few trickled in then motioned that it was safe to go in. The rest of the group rushed in, hovering in the entryway waiting for directions.

"Okay, you three down stairs, you three back of the house, you three basement, and we'll go upstairs. And remember be careful; don't forget we don't know if there are any vampires in the house." James commanded; he headed up stairs with Sirius, Remus and Riley while the rest went their own direction. The first couple of rooms they checked in were empty, except for old wooden furniture. At the end of the hall there were large oak doors, James motioned that they were going to through the doors. Sirius, Remus and Riley followed James down the hall into the room. They couldn't tell how big the room was or what was in it, once they stepped in they were engulfed in darkness. The door blew shut, they didn't know which way to turn. They braved a few steps forward, when a yellow jet of light came flying towards they. James blocked and shot a curse in the direction he thought it came from but another light came flying at them from a different direction. They shot spells in all directions but spells kept coming.

"Get out of here. Turn around and run, the door should be there." Riley yelled; she pulled out the two guns holstered around her thighs. She started shooting in every and any direction except the direction that James, Sirius and Remus were escaping.

"Report." Dumbledore demanded when he arrived to the house, the order members already fled the scene leaving to the aurors that were given authorization from the ministry to examine the scene. The bald black man that Dumbledore was talking to opened a folder to read it's contents.

"Six death eaters dead in total, four whose death are unknown." The man said, "But none of ours were harmed." He added in a hushed voice.

"Thank you Shackelbolt." Dumbledore said, "And those four death whose deaths are unknown, what do you mean?"

"I'll show you." Shackelbolt lead Dumbledore into the house, upstairs, down the long hallway, through the double doors and into the large circular room. Four bodies littered the floor, Shackelbolt walked up the closest body; he used his foot to roll the dead man's head to the right, exposing his neck with two puncture holes.

"They're saying its vampire biting." Shackelbolt said.

"But why would they attack their ally?" Dumbledore said, looking down at the puncture holes with fear and confusion.

Riley and Sirius were lounging around the order headquarters, Remus was at job interview that he desperately needed, waiting for the latest news on the house raid they did the other night. James burst into the conservatory where Riley and Sirius were playing wizards chest.

"This is unfair, I don't know how to play." Riley was whining when James rushed in.

"Vampires." James threw a file folder down on the chessboard, ending the game and spilling pieces on the floor.

"What?" Sirius said picking up the folder. Riley walked around the table to look over Sirius's shoulder. Sirius pushed the pictures around, examine the pictures of the four bodies, "Is it true?" Sirius asked looking up at Riley.

"W-what?" Riley sputtered her breathing uneasy.

"Is it vampires?"

"Yeah, nothing else could do that." Riley said, staring out the conservatory windows.

"How did we miss it?" James growled.

"Maybe he was hidden in the shadows of the room, we couldn't see anything." Sirius suggested.

"Maybe she was disguised." Riley said to herself.

"What?"

"But why attack their allies?" Riley said turning away from the window to face James and Sirius, both of whom had no answer.
