September 25th:

Sunnydale California:

Faith was bored.

She twirled the stake in her hand and sighed.

After the third time Giles looked up from his book and glared her.

"Faith…" the man trailed off tiredly.

"I'm bored," Faith replied to the unasked question.

"Go kill something," the Watcher replied.

"Vamps are boring," the Slayer replied.

"Go terrorize Willy," came the next option.

"Even that lost its glamour," she sighed.

"Go dance at the Bronze," Giles told her.

Her shoulders slumped. "Yes, master," she said cheekily and hopped off the stool.

Giles shook his head as he watched her go. Then he grew serious and went back to the letter he had been hiding inside the book.

"Now how do I tell her this?" he spoke to the air.

oooOooo

October 10th:

DADA:

Buffy and Hermione walked into the classroom whispering about the essay each of them had finished. It had been one of the rare moments when Buffy had been happy to complete a school assignment and the few that she knew about the object even more than the professor.

"…and I never knew about the water demons. I mean we studied the inkipanks (A/N:Did I spell that correctly?) but I never knew there were so many varieties!"

Harry studied his bookworm friend and shook his head.

"I cannot believe Hermione is talking with Malfoy's sister," Ron muttered darkly.

The two male friends were walking a short distance behind the bubbly girls, observing them carefully.

"She's not so bad," Harry replied.

"She is a Malfoy," Ron told him as if that said everything.

"Yet she's nice," the green eyed teen countered. He took his seat, Ron slipping next to him. Hermione sat on his other sat, the Malfoy siblings occupying the seats in the front.

Remus Lupin entered after the last students, smile on his face.

"Settle down everyone! Did you finish your papers?"

"Yes," came from all the students.

"Place them on your desks and I'll summon them," Remus told them.

After this was done he faced the class.

"Our lesson today is about Vampires."

Buffy and Draco sucked in their breaths.

"Europe has been the beginning point for the appearance of these creatures but the numbers did not multiply much until the discovery of America," Remus began.

Buffy sat rigidly as the professor relayed the most important facts on Vampires. Basic things like how to recognize them, how one was turned and finally various ways to repel or kill them.

Remus rubbed his palms. "Can anyone tell me the most known Vampires in the human world?"

Hermione's hand rose in the air, along with several others. Draco too raised a hand and cocked an eyebrow at his sister. With a sigh Buffy joined the crowd.

"Well, Hermione, you first," Remus picked.

"Sanguini," Hermione replied.

The werewolf nodded. "Yes, he is a companion of the re-known…author Eldred Worple," Remus replied. "Mr. Zabini?"

"Heinrih Nest or as he is most widely known, the Master of clan Aurelia," the Slytherin answered.

Buffy swallowed as how she recognized the name.

"Miss Lavender?" the Professor pointed again.

"Carmilla Sanguina?" she offered uncertainly.

"Correct, she was a vampire, but also a witch before she was turned. Mr. Malfoy?"

"Dracula," the blonde answered.

Some muggleborns snorted at the name.

"Mr. Malfoy is correct," Remus said. "Dracula is not fictional. There is a bounty on his head or heart as it is for five thousand galleons. Mrs. Malfoy?"

Buffy swallowed. "Angelus."

Remus noticed how pale she looked and frowned.

Her brother took notice as well and he was worried.

"Crystal?" he whispered.

"Would you like to be excused?" Remus asked the distraught girl.

Buffy bit her lip and nodded.

"Gather your things," Remus told her gently.

"Thank you," Buffy told him before hurriedly leaving the classroom.

It caused unrest in the class as the students gossiped.

"Quiet down!" Remus called out. "Mr. Malfoy, what was wrong with your sister?"

Draco sighed. It was not something he wanted the nosey class to know but it would be better to fend off any rumors early.

"My sister has come across Angelus," Draco admitted.

There were gasps and even the professor paled.

"Crystal had a run in with that monster?" Hermione asked worriedly. "I read he relished in torture and chaos and drove his victims crazy!"

Draco shrugged.

"She met him. And other vampires." he paused. "She used to live in Sunnydale, California."

Remus winced. He was the only one and Draco knew that only he alone knew that the country was a Hell-mouth. Granger looked thoughtful but no sign of recognition appeared on her face.

"We better get on with the lesson. Mr. Malfoy, you can take the homework to your sibling."

"Thank you," Draco whispered.

oooOooo

Buffy escaped in the bathroom. She felt her hands trembling.

She had not felt so panicked in a long time. Like all of her composure had left her completely.

She dropped her bag on the floor and leaned over the sink. Mechanically she opened the faucets and let the water run.

"You can still do that to me Angel," she sighed.

She bent and splashed water to her face.

'Maybe I should ask permission to go hunting in the forest. That should release some stress,' she thought.

Killing things did that for her.

oooOooo

October 20th:

Britain, Unknown Location:

Lucius was nervous as he apparated into the location he felt a pull from his Dark Mark. He nodded at Bellatrix when the insane woman waved at him. He grimaced as she approached him all smiles.

"Lucius! My dear brother in law… It has been a while."

"Indeed."

"Lucius," Severus Snape approached them. "A word if you please."

When they were away Lucius sagged.

"Thank you Severus," he told his friend.

"As soon as I saw her I knew you needed a way out," Severus told him with a low chuckle.

"I owe you one," Lucius told him.

"Don't you want to know how are the brats doing?"

"I already do," the blond told the professor. "Crystal wrote home today. She makes friend with almost everyone except Parkinson."

Severus chuckled. "Yes. Those two provide abundant entertainment."

There was a noise and Peter Pettigrew appeared calling them to the meeting. All smiles were soon schooled into straight expressions.

The Dark Lord was already there and seated. They quickly formed a half circle in front of the man-beast.

Lucius was apprehensive at the gleeful look on wizard's face.

"Calm yourself," Severus whispered to him.

"Does it show?" the blonde man inquired.

"You are paler than usual," the Potions Master offered. "Get a grip on yourself."

Lucius nodded absently.

The two men stayed close as the Dark Lord told his speech, seeing as many from the black clad crowd stared in excitement and awe at the snake like wizard that stood before them. Somehow, Lucius was unable to decide when exactly the dark wizard's words lost their lure and attraction.

He started when he felt Severus jab him with his elbow on the stomach.

"Luciusss," he heard his name end with a rather sibilant hiss and Lucius knew he had committed a blunder by spacing out when the Dark Lord was addressing him.

"My Lord," the Malfoy Patriarch replied even with some delay.

"I heard you found Crystal Drusilla again. I believe that congratulations on the recovery of your daughter are in order."

"Thank you my Lord," Lucius responded.

"I was informed that she had been in the muggle world," the Dark Lord spat with distaste.

"It has been rectified my Lord. But if I may say, even among filth, she was special," Lucius hurriedly said.

"I will judge that."

"My Lord?"

"I wish to meet her. And at Yule holiday I shall."

Lucius felt his stomach quiver.

"You Are to present your daughter before me by December 26th Malfoy. Do not disappoint me."

oooOooo

October 31st:

Great Hall:

Slytherin Table:

Buffy entered the Hall for dinner. Her face was cheerful for once. Now that she was in Hogwarts there was really nothing to fear from demons or Ethan so it really was vacation day for her. And it did considerably help her mood that she heard all short of rumors from the other students. Her own brother had her riled up with mentions of ghost choirs, troll attacks, giant snakes, petrified students and all the things that happened the previous years. That had definitely put her in a festive mood if not a little bit apprehensive. While she enjoyed the quiet she secretly hoped things would liven up a bit.

Sure enough, there were pumpkins everywhere in the castle and inside the Great Hall, all of them charm to animate or make noises. Buffy's favorite was the 'evil but graphic mastermind laugh' as she had dubbed it and the 'stupid blonde actress in a bad horror movie', which had made Draco gap and question what a 'movie' was. She had a fun time explaining the concept for her pureblood raised sibling to dismiss it as stupid and too muggle and common.

She saw the dark looks Pansy gave her the moment she took her seat by Draco's side. She had half a mind to say sweet things to the blonde just to annoy the girl but that would annoy Draco as well and she hoped for a peaceful evening.

"If looks could kill," Blaise told Buffy with amusement.

"They can if you are a Basilisk," Draco said absently.

"It's a figure of speech," his friend told him.

Draco blushed a bit, "I knew that."

"Where was your mind little brother?" Buffy asked.

"Nowhere," Draco shrugged.

Before Buffy could voice her disbelief on that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore stood and welcomed the students to the feast.

"I heard that the Headless Horseman was to visit," Daphne Greengrass told Theodore Nott.

Buffy almost chocked. "I bet he has better things to do," Draco shot back. "Not that I wouldn't enjoy seeing the Hufflepuffs cry…"

The Slytherins laughed and Buffy shook her head. Her brother was too much like Cordelia and Buffy of the old days and it was funny on a boy.

"I hope the food appears soon," the blonde girl sighed.

"Crystal, you eat like a baby dragon," her brother commented.

"I'm a growing girl."

"Right…"

"Was that a slur to my height?"

"No! You heard wrong," Draco said with mischief.

"Brat," Buffy shot at him.

"Love you back sister."

Buffy could not hide her smile.

Gryffindor table:

Harry tapped his hand on the table. He was waiting for Hermione to show up but it seemed that both she and Ron were late. A glance at Neville and the shrug the shy teen gave him showed that he did not have any idea why the two were missing either.

"They left the tower before us," Ginny told Harry.

"Even snogging wouldn't keep Ron from dinner," Seamus put in.

Harry had a funny feeling that something was wrong.

'Well, it is Halloween,' his mind provided and he almost winced.

He stood from the table. "I'll go check on them," Harry told his house mates.

Just as he walked to the doors, Ron, Hermione and a couple of younger students ran in.

What made it special was that Ron was carrying a young Ravenclaw covered in blood.

Immediately the teacher stood, Dumbledore leading the way.

The teens run in with the younger children herded before them.

Even from her table Buffy saw Hermione pale and panting, pressing a hand to her arm as blood dripped from a savage gasp. A look at the bloodied kid on Weasley's arms confirmed her fears.

"B-Crystal?" Draco asked.

"A werewolf attack?" Bullstrode asked.

"Lupin is fine and tonight it is not the full moon," Blaise was heard saying.

"Vampires," Buffy whispered and those Slytherins who heard her gasped.

"…Coming!" Hermione cried out.

McGonagall rushed to her side. "Who is coming? Miss Granger? Hermione?"

In the silence and insane voice rang out.

"Where did all the little babies go? Come to mommy!"

Bufy froze. "No…"

"Crystal?" Draco asked.

Buffy stood from the bench and walked to the doors just as a woman dressed in a long, crimson and black, gothic dress half walked half danced her way into the great hall. Her pale skin was dirtied with blood. Her deformed features horrific. Her slender hands using claws to play with her long, black hair.

Several people screamed and other drew their wands out.

"Vampire!" Professor Flitwick said with his high voice, but his wand was steady.

The female Vampire ignored them, her eyes focusing on Buffy.

"Good evening sunshine," she called out.

"Mrs. Malfoy step away," McGonagall called out.

"Buffy," the female Vampire smiled a smile all fangs.

"Drusilla," Buffy whispered.

The mad vampiress smiled.

oooOooo

End of chapter

A/N: Another chapter

A/N 2:
Sanguini is a vampire who attended a Slug Club Christmas party during Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was the guest of Eldred Worple. The tall, emaciated man had dark shadows under his eyes and looked bored with the party until a nearby group of girls attracted his attention. Worple tried to distract him from the girls by shoving a pasty into his mouth. Sanguini could be related to Carmilla Sanguina (Link in my profile)

A/N 3:

Lady Carmilla Sanguina (1561-1757) was a vampire. She took baths in the blood of her victims in the belief that doing so would help her to retain her youth and beauty.
