Chapter 10

Friends and Enemies

A/N: Thanks to anyone who reviewed, I wouldn't know because I can't get access to my e-mail or the search bar!

Nikolas and Damian happily ran to Professor Snape's office smiling, which was scaring the kids greatly because of their teeth. "You know, I haven't been this happy to see Snape since... well- ever." said a really zippy Nikolas.

"Me neither!" stated Damian in a laugh-like manner.

They skipped into the classroom and saw, "Nathaniel? What are you doing here?" asked Damian.

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow. He was very surprised to see his prince in a wizarding school, for Damian never left the Caves unless he was using his secret identity, which no one knew. "I work here." he stated.

Damian was surprised. He knew Nathaniel worked, but he never would of thought he worked at Hogwarts. "Well that's interesting."

"The question is, what are you doing here?"

"Well there's this Potion's Master, Severus Snape." began Damian.

"And what do you think of this Potion's Master?"

Damian quirked an eyebrow but answered his comrade's question none-the-less. "He's really mean, but he seems to be the best potion maker Nick and I know-"

"What else about him?" Nathaniel interjected once more.

"Um... he, um... teaches potions-"

"And is he a good teacher?"

"If you're in Slytherin."

"Why only that?"

"Because he's mean to else, Neville Longbottom was almost in tears one day."

"Can you concentrate with him around?"

"Never. That's why I almost failed potions."

"Oh. But you still think of him as a great Potion's Master?"

"That's the best one we know. That's why we need his help."

Nathaniel transformed into Severus Snape and laughed. "Best Potion's Master you know huh?"

"Professor Snape?!" Damian and Nikolas said in unison.

"But- but- your one of my best friends! And yet my worst enemy, well, apart from Draco." said Damian. How come he never told him he was Severus? But then Damian realized that Nathaniel didn't know he was Harry to begin with.

"Funny how being a vampire caused all this isn't it?" replied Snape with a laugh.

"So you're not going to be mean to us or anything right?"

"Exactly right. It was stupid anyway with the whole Slytherin vs. Gryffindor thing."

"So you think you found a lead on that potion?"

"Yes. Remember that water I showed you that one day?" asked Damian.

"Yes, yes. I've seen it. But you've never told me what it did Harry."

Damian was about to screech his real name out but Nick stepped on his foot so he just smiled and transformed into human, as did Nikolas. Harry took out the water bottle.

"This," he said, "brings cravings of blood down and makes you more humane."

Severus took the bottle out of Harry's hands and examined it. "How long have you been drinking that?"

"Nick has been drinking it since the day after his ceremony and I've been drinking it since a month after my own."

Severus eyed the bottle suspiciously. "Any side-effects?" There has to be, he thought, this water is too good to be true.

"Not any that we know of."

Severus was amazed so he said the only thing he could: "Can I have a bottle?"

Harry laughed and tossed one to Sev, who caught it perfectly. "Thanks, so, this is your lead?"

"Yep." stated Ron. "We worked for six hours and found nothing!"

"Seems so... um... I worked for seven years on such a thing when I was... em... maybe 15 years old. I never had a lead though. Can I see your notes?"

Ron handed Professor Snape the notebook. He started to leaf through it. "You've made more progress than I, using totally different though..."

"I've got it!!" Harry shouted joyfully.

"Yes?"

"We can fuse the ingredients from Nick and I and yours together!"

Sev looked at him for a moment. "You may have something there. Why don't we go into my lab, and we can find the old ingredients okay?"

"Deal."

Harry, Ron, and Professor Snape walked into his private lab. "So this is what your lab looks like." said Nikolas.

"Weren't you two in here before?" asked Sev.

"Nope. We never set foot in this room." stated Harry, rubbing his neck, accidentally turning into Damian, also not knowing.

"You know that is so old, that it's well, old."

"Yeah, really." said Ron, following Damian's suit and turning into Nick.

So they worked for hours and hours, not taking breaks. They were about to start the second day when Damian the stupid head of stupidness and more, realized what he's been forgetting.

"Oh my god! Nick!" Damian screeched.

Nick turned. He looked really bad. His eyes were almost fully red. Bad sign. He was so pale, he looked a light shade of blue, and his fangs were protruding out of his mouth. The stress was getting to him and that's probably why he was like that.

"That's it! We're going to go and hang out with Bill okay?" Damian said. "You can come if you want Nathaniel."

"I think I will." So Damian dragged Nikolas out the door covering his eyes so he couldn't see the young children with Nathaniel following closely behind.

A/N: KO. I'm done with my chapter today... what d'you think? Any ideas? Please tell me in your review!
