Before opening the door Snape gave a quick look behind, afraid that someone was fallowing him

For a moment he saw the dark silhouette of the castle. The rumble of thunder could be heard rolling through the mountains as foreboding dark clouds overhead obscuring the already dark sky.

He entered his home but didn't feel safe at all. He turned his gaze towards the window, afraid that he would find a pale face but saw nothing.

"The night is playing tricks on my mind" he thought as he still felt that someone was watching him, but soon his mind was occupied with other things as he began to prepare dinner as he hadn't eaten yet. He made a mental note to work out in the morning as it was already to late in the night

Soon he had forgotten his early worries of being watched, and after dinner he went to a small table and began to write on his diary of the recent events.

"Somehow I must find a way to escape Hogwarts" he though briefly.

From the shadows, two faces watched him through the window, their dark hair a deep contrast to their paleness.

They watched him write for about half an hour before he went to his bed.

"Should we call him?" Pansy asked as he approached the window and was about to lower the curtains.

Bellatrix nodded "Not tonight" she answered as she began to back away from the window "Perhaps he will be more inclined to talk in the morning"

Pansy stared at her "In the morning? But tomorrow is Saturday and we don't have to wake early for class…you know how hard it's the day"

Bellatrix smiled and said "Is not that hard. The sleep we take in the afternoon is enough for us to rest…and we have all night to have fun and the morning to attend classes"

The night was still young, and both vampires decided not to go to the castle yet. It was their first night out of the castle since their awakening and they succumbed to the calling of the nigh.

They ran wildly, laughing, their pale limbs carrying them deep into the forbidden forest. Their senses accurate, it wasn't long until they found the others were already there, except for Hermione and countess Anastasia.

With their new vampire sense, they enjoyed chasing each other in the dark forest. When they were still alive, it appeared dangerous to them, but now nothing seemed threatening.

Laughing with delight, Ginny prowled through the darkness, peering under decaying benches and pressing the dead foliage aside with her hands as she seek out Harry and her brother.

Mina, with a smile on her face, watched Tunks chasing Luna, remembering her first moments as a vampire long ago. Even thought she missed her mortal life and dreaded the need to feed, there were night like this where she actually enjoyed the "freedom this unlife gave.

Soon the others came to her side

"it's a glorious night" Pansy sighed with great contentment.

Mina stared at them all and said

"I think it's time to teach you a new trick"

She closed her eyes and tilted back her head, letting the wind play with her long black har, obviously enjoying the beauty of the night as the rest. Soon the wind lifted her above the ground. The others gasped in surprised as they watched her float above the ground.

She opened her eyes and smiled at them.

"Just let yourselves go…you are not bound by the laws of physics anymore... you are all above it".

Soon they all imitated her and wasn't long before they all joined her in the air.

This was freedom from the very laws of nature and they allowed the night breeze lift them higher and higher until they were floating over the treetops.

They flew above the trees, harry and Ginny with their hands clasped together, until they felt two presence not far from there.

They all descended on the ground and not far from them, on a clearing, they saw Countess Anastasia holding a 5th year slytherin student in her arms, while Hermione watched her intently, her eyes glowing.

The boy struggled in her arms, but she was just to strong for him. He was to terrified to scream

"Now, that was fun, wasn't it" the countess said to Hermione who just nodded silently in agreement.

"Now, for the final lesson, I think you know what to do now…I can see the hunger in your eyes"

Hermione said nothing, but she approached her prey slowly. As she stood in front of him, the poor boy trembled in fear. She looked directly into his eyes

"Poor thing" she whispered gently and reached out to caress his face.

The boy stoped struggling, the "spell" already affecting him as he felt the fear leaving him. Anastasia handed him to the waiting arms of Hermione.

"No pain" she whispered in his ear and the boy relaxed even more "no pain" she repeated

With that, she gently moved his head back and put her mouth into his neck. The boy only felt as two small objects touched his skin but then nothing

As he felt himself going limp, he fell back on the ground and Hermione went with him. Closing his eyes, he started to loose conciseness. All he was only truly aware of was the girl lying atop of him.

And then it was over. Hermione sat back and stared at the student below her.

"I hunted and drank blood" she thought. "And it felt wonderful"

Those who have not hunt and only fed from sleeping students, watched in fascination the whole scene.

Despite being weak for the loss of blood, the boy opened his eyes and stared at her. Fear was coming to him again. Hermione noticed this and whispered

"Don't be afraid" she said as she caressed his face again "This was all a nightmare, nothing more.. now go to sleep"
