Chapter 11: A Little Birdie

Disclaimer: I'm definitely not making any money from this.

A/N:I was thinking that I would roll this story into the current Harry Potter era or is that jumping the shark?


James and Sirius were walking through an old grave yard taking notes and looking for any evidence but they both knew it was useless, they learned long ago from an old friend that the vampires never stay around after their killings but still it's their jobs so they must. They made it back to the top of the hill that over looked the graveyard where other of their fellow Aurors were finishing their reports. Sirius looked out across the graveyard where the two bodies of the muggle care taker and a lone person who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time were being taken away by St. Mungos.

"At least there were no muggle witnesses, this time." Someone said next to Sirius, pulling his attention away from the bodies.

"I guess." Sirius said, "There are still two people dead." The man shrugged and left Sirius to join another group away from him.

"Mr. Black, over here please." Dumbledore called; he was standing with James, "I was wondering if you like to accompany me to the Leaky Cauldron; Mr. Potter has already agreed." Sirius nodded confused and followed Dumbledore and James towards the Leaky Cauldron.

"Room seven is ready for you, sir." Tom the innkeeper said as Dumbledore, Sirius and James walked in.

"Thank you, Tom. Three cups of tea please." Dumbledore said as they proceeded towards the upstairs. They took their seats around the fireplace, just as Tom brought in a trey of tea for them, "Tea."

"Sure, thanks." James said but Sirius politely declined.

"Was there a particular reason that you wanted us to come here?" Sirius asked.

Dumbledore chuckled, "Yes. Well I told you that I would keep an eye on Miss Riley when you brought it to my attention that she was a Vampire then you said that you believed her to be dead. Well, I've had a few people investigate her disappearance and sudden death and they have come to a conclusion. They believe that she has gone back to the colony that she has been hunting."

"No, that can't be." James said, "She would never go back to them."

"There have been witnesses at the recent vampire attacks that have described seeing her." Dumbledore looked at Sirius, who remained quiet, "I'm sorry but they said that if she is with them, she could be killed." Sirius nodded, trying to control the anger that was boiling inside of him, "I'm very sorry for you." Dumbledore said putting a hand on Sirius's shoulder, "Please be careful." Sirius nodded, "Good night boys." Dumbledore calmly left.

"Are you okay?" James asked after a few minutes of silence.

"What do you think?" Sirius growled, getting to his feet, "I hate to tell you I told you so." He said before leaving the room with a slam of the door.


Desmond hovered above Riley, his hips slamming into her until her grunted her name. He laid next to her while she stared up at the ceiling. Riley threw her legs over the edge of the bed and scooped up her clothes.

"Are you leaving?" He asked as she pulled her shirt over her head. She looked at him with empty eyes and nodded yes then proceeded to due up the fly on her jeans. She slide on her shoes and left him lying naked in his bed. Riley walked out of the manor into the dark of the night, wandering into the muggle town that was conveniently up the street from the manor. She kept to the darkest of shadows as she wandered through the streets, suppressing the Vampire that tired pushing to the surface until it came to unbearable. Her red eyes lingered on a man that stumbled out of a bar and wobbled down the street. She stayed hidden from his view when he would turn around, thinking that someone was following him. He turned back around to be face to face with Riley. She smiled, her fangs glowing in the darkness, as she pulled him into the alley. She held his head to the side, giving her clean access to her feast. She was just about to sink her fangs into his neck when an annoyed voice caught her ears.

"This is suicide." The first voice said, "We're just asking for it."

"Calm down." The second voice said, "We're just here to observe then the rest will be here."

"Why do we even have to be here?" The first voice again.

"Black and Potter both said something about a manor." The second voice said. The two men passed the alley that Riley was hidden in.

"Black is on a vendetta and we're the ones risking our necks." The first voice said angrily, "Literally." The second voice laughed.

Riley looked down at the man she was holding then dug her fangs into his neck and he cried out in pain. She drank quickly knowing that the two men would probably show up at anytime; she was right, she caught a glimpse of them as they came running around the corner, wands in one hand a gun in the other.


Riley stormed through the manor, whipping off the blood from her lips as she went. She climbed up the stairs and burst into the room at the top of the stairs. Dorian wasn't alone in the room but it didn't faze Riley that she walked in. The women with ruby hair, pushed Dorian off of her, pointing to Riley. Realizing that Riley wasn't going to leave or that Dorian wasn't going to tell her to leave she climbed out of bed and quickly got dressed; she pushed past Riley as she left.

"I do hope you plan on making this up for me." Dorian said, leaning against the headboard, the sheets sprawled across his waist leaving his chest bare.

"No." Riley said and Dorian smiled devilishly, "There are Aurors in the town, looking for us."

"How do you plan on handling this?"

"Excuse me, you run this colony you handle it." Dorian chuckled softly.

"They're here for you. You find a way to fix this your way or I'll do it my way." He said harshly, "Now, it seems you have ruined my night, but you will fix it, correct?" Riley cocked an eyebrow then turned on her heels leaving the room.


Three days later Riley was back in Dorian's room, his back was to her when she entered.

"You rang." She said venomously.

"You haven't fixed our little problem and I'm not the only one who is getting restless." Dorian said keeping his back to her.

"Turn around and face me, you should know by now that I don't get intimidated." Dorian turned to face her with a look that Riley knew he was up to something.

"Since you have failed to fix the problem, you don't need to worry about it anymore." Riley looked at him suspiciously.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything will be fine. No one will be restless any more."


James and Sirius left the pub with their other fellow Aurors in the small town that they were staying in.

"We haven't seen any Vampires at all." One of them said.

"Yeah its weird, I expected to see one on every corner." Another said.

"It is a little strange." Sirius said.

"Maybe they're not here anymore." James suggested.

"I don't think so." Sirius said, "I can feel it." Sirius stopped, "You know what you guys go ahead, I'll catch up later." The rest of the Aurors continued down the street while Sirius stood rooted in his spot. He was alone on the street when he continued his stroll. Sirius kept a constant vigilance as he walked alone down the street but it wasn't enough; he was pulled into an alley and shoved against a wall.

"You." He hissed but the surroundings around him disappeared. It took Sirius a second to regain his bearings in this new place, it wasn't actually a new place just somewhere he hadn't been to in a long time, "You've got a lot of guts." Sirius told his kidnapper.

"I thought you already knew that." Riley said.

Sirius pulled out a gun from his waist band, "I'm not going to let you get away this time."

"I needed to talk to you, it's very important." Riley said quickly looking down the barrel of the gun, "You and your friends need to leave."

"Really?" Sirius said sarcastically.

"They know you guys are here. They're going to kill you all, if you don't leave."

"Why are you telling me this?" Sirius asked lowering the gun. Riley met his eyes for the first time in long time.

"I don't want to see you or James killed." Riley said, "You don't have much time." She disappeared, shocking Sirius but then she grabbed him from behind. They appeared in the alley that she took him from.

"Riley, come…" But she was gone.


Sirius apparated back to the hotel instead of walking the rest of the way.

"We need to get out of here, now." Sirius said urgently when he got back to the hotel.

"What! Why?" James asked

"Trust me, we need to leave." Sirius said hurrying from the room to tell the others quickly followed by James, "Get up, we have to leave." He yelled into the room.

James grabbed Sirius by the shoulders, "What is wrong? Why do we have to leave?"

"They're going to kill us. They know we are here." Sirius yelled at him.

"How do you know?"

"A little birdie told me." Sirius said calmly.

"What's wrong?" Someone asked.

"We'll tell you later." James said slowly, "Apparate to headquarters."

"But…"

"Now!"


"Where have you been?" Desmond asked as Riley tried to sneak back into her room.

"I got hungry."

"No you didn't, I cant smell any blood on you." Desmond said, holding Riley close to him, "Where have you been?"

"Let me go." Riley hissed, struggling in his grasp.

"Where have you been?" he pressed.

"Let me…"

"Let's go. We're doing this now." Dorian said interrupting Desmond's interogation.

"Now?" Riley asked; Desmond could see the fear in her face. He took her from the room with him.

They appeared in the empty room of the local hotel. The beds were empty, the doors empty, the room had no souls in it.

"They're gone." Dorian rumbled angrily.

Desmond looked to Riley, finding her trying to suppress her triumph.
