Witches, Wizards and Vampires! Oh my!
Part 2
Disclaimer: Ok, nothing belongs to me except for the people that I made up. (Isn't that so elaborate?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last time:

Suddenly, everyone was silent. I felt all the eyes in the room on me, after awhile I started to fidget. Noticing my discomfort, Professor McGonagall said, "All right everyone, back to the feast!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Professor McGonagall pointed me to the Gryffindor table and Sirius waved me over.

When I got there, Lily commented, "Wow! You came back alive!"

"Yeah, that was my plan." I responded.

"What was that about?" Remus asked.

"What house I was going to be in."

"And...?" James asked.

"I'm officially Gryffindor." They all grinned at me.

"YOU'RE DEAD MEAT!" Severus said from his table.

"Can he hear that far?" I asked Remus.

"Apparently."

"Fates help us all." I smiled at him.

"Hey Girlie! Try the mash potatoes! They're GGGGRRRREEEEAAATTTTT!"

"Who was that?" I asked.

"A Hufflepuff." Sirius said casually.

There was a chorus of Oh's.

"Are you going to eat that?" Sirius asked, pointing to my roll.

"No, you can have it."

He started wolfing it down like there was no tomorrow. Boys, no matter the country they're always the same, I thought with an affectionate smile.

"Why aren't you eating?" James asked, perplexed.

"Oh. I'm not that hungry."

Remus looked at me worriedly. I gave him an 'I don't think so' look.

"So, how do you like Hogwarts so far?" Lily asked.

"It's...uh...different." I replied. Personally I was overwhelmed by it, and a little nervous.
Dumbledore stood up from his chair and smiled at the crowd. "Now that we're all feed and watered, you good students need go to bed. We have a hard day of school tomorrow, Off you trot!"

"Why do I get the feeling that he thinks we're horses?" I asked.
"Oh that's our Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, who walks a thin line between genius and insanity." Lily replied.

With that we all walked to our dorms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day I woke with the sun in my eyes.

"Good morning Angela!" Lily called cheerfully from her bed across the room.

"Good morning Lily." I yawned, "What time is it?"

"Around seven O'clock. We should start getting dressed." She replied getting up from her mountain of covers.

After we got dressed we walked down to the common room and saw Sirius and James lounging the chairs in front of the fire.
James turned towards us, "Hey! You girls ready to go down to the Great Hall for breakfast?"

"Yeah, where's Remus and Peter?" Lily asked.

"They went down already." Sirius replied lazily.

Together the four of us walked from our tower down the spiral steps and the moving corridors into the Great Hall.

After we had eaten we moved on to our first class.

"So what do we have first?" I asked Lily.

"Potions with Professor Binyip."

"I don't know why but bunnies suddenly come into mind." I said smiling. She grinned in return.

Well, right off I had the distinct feeling that Professor Bunnies didn't like me very much. In fact I don't think he liked any of us. The teachers here are so strange.

"Ms. La Rochelle," (he pronounced it La Rockcell) "If you would as so kind to pay attention to the class instead of chatting with your upstart of a friend. Now, since you obviously know all of what I'm teaching right now, you wouldn't mind telling us what frog's foot mixed with arcane powder make?"

"Ummm....an explosion?"

"10 points from Gryffindor for getting smart with me!"

"But-" Lily started.

"Do you want me to make it 20 Miss. Waters?"

Lily fell silent.

****
Besides that all the other classes were fairly normal. I still got lost in the castle, but luckily I had Lily around to help me. So things went like that for awhile and eventually I fell into the rhythm of it, or lack of therefore.

Until a week later (the week before Halloween).................

I was restless. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't fall asleep! Must be the full moon, I guessed. After another 10 minutes of tossing and turning I decided to get out of bed and do something. The moment I sat up I felt a tingling in the back of my neck. It felt familiar, but I couldn't think of it. Oh well, hopefully it's not life threatening, I thought slightly amused.

I moved as silent as a cat so not to wake the others, and got up to get one of my books to read.

There it was again. That tingling, and this time I saw a shimmer in the shadows that even with my supernatural sight, I almost missed it.

Ignoring it, I went back to my reading then there was a scratching at my window.

"Oh what now?" I whispered aggravated.

When I looked up at the window, I had to bite my lip so not to call out in surprise.

"Jeremiah!" I hissed.

The man sitting on my windowsill just smiled and beckoned me to let him in. Groaning I threw off the covers me and opened the window.

"Thanks darlin'. For a second there I thought you were just going to leave me out there." He said grinning at me; I just glared in return.

"What are you doing here Jer?" I whispered irritably.

"Can't a guy just visit old friends?" He replied with mock hurt.
Lily stirred in her sleep.

"Shhhhhh! What's the matter with you? Want to wake everyone up?!" I snapped at him. Just as he opened his mouth to say something when I grabbed his arm and dragged him down to the common room. I led him to the two chairs in front of the fire that had burned down to coals. I mutter some words and gestured towards the hearth and the fire roared back to life.

"Nifty little tricks you learn in these schools, eh?" Jeremiah asked rhetorically.
"What are you doing here Jeremiah?" I asked while sitting down, I gestured for him to do the same.
"Oh I was just in town and decided to stop by. So, how's school?" He said while sitting down.
I started to tell him all about my new life.

***

I don't think I should tell her, Jeremiah thought. She seems pretty happy and we don't know for sure if she's in danger yet.

"So, going to tell me why you're really here?"

Darn. She doesn't distract easily. Oh well, when in doubt...

"Don't kill for this." He whispered. Obviously she heard because she looked confused. Jeremiah looked her straight in the eye. "You're to tired to ask questions. Your eyes feel heavy; you have had a hard day. You need to rest."

She nodded as her eyes drooped closed and in a few seconds she was in a deep sleep.

Sighing, he grabbed a blanket and covered her with it then gave her a brotherly kiss on the forehead.

"Sweet dreams Angie."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I yawned, and felt a sharp pain in my neck. It had been in an awkward position all night. THAT DARN JEREMIAH! Why does he insist on doing that to me?!?!?

I should be more careful around him.

Now what was that sound that woke me up?

"Pew, I'm beat," A tired voice said from my right; I decided to listen in.

"Same here, who knew this would be so much hard work. It was worth it though. I'm glad Remus's happy," I recognized as James's voice.

"I hope he's ok," A high-pitched voice said that was Peter. What were they doing up so early? What are they talking about?
"I'm hitting the sack, good-night guys," Said the first tired voice. I guessed it was Sirius.

It struck me as peculiar why I never heard Remus' voice. Surely they didn't go somewhere without him?

I lifted my head and looked at them.

"What are you two doing down here?" I asked yawning.

Peter jumped, literally, then whirled around to face me.
"Ang-Angela, what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"Aww, that's no fair. I asked you first." I said smiling then stretched; the guys were staring at me when I did this. Probably because I was still in my night-gown.

"Umm, We-er-were-um-hungry." Sirius mumbled.

"You don't sound very convinc-"

"There you are!" an obnoxious voice called from the girls dorm. "You're an awful man making me wait like that!" I turned just in time to see a girl, about one year younger than me. She was skinny, a bit short and, judging by her bossy voice, a girl I would probably find annoying. In fact, I'd probably hate her.

"I what...?" Sirius said yawning.

"I was looking for you last night..." She said smiling.

"And he wasn't there?" I asked her.

"Why should I tell you?" she said, her face full of spite.

"Why wouldn't you?" I asked her disliking her more and more. She, apparently, didn't have an answer for that so I choose to ignore it. Sirius tried to get away without her noticing, but-

"Where are you going!?!?!"

"Ah-er-um-well-um, nowhere."

"That's what I thought. Sirius who is this loser?"
I had the urge to laugh, heck we all did. In a couple of seconds we all fell over laughing.
Then a huge headache hit me.
I groaned, "Remind me to kill Jer when I see him again." As I sat up a bottle of Advil fell on the floor with a note pinned to it.

To kill the pain.

The note read.

"Jeez, thanks a lot." I said sarcastically to the person who wasn't there. I popped a couple of the painkillers into my mouth.

"Ex-cuSE me!" The obnoxious girl said.

Sirius smiled. "Angela, meet Cindy."

"I don't want to meet HER!" Cindy yelled.

"Feelings mutual."

Sirius gave me a 'be-good' look.

"Look like, if you're going to get all 'I'm the best' attitude then just like, get out of my hair!" Cindy smacked her lips every word as if they tasted good.

I gave Sirius an "I-can't-believe-this-girl-is-so-preppy" look. Sirius smiled his winning "don't-be-mad-at-me-I'm-just-a-harmless-little-baby-boy".

"Oh my GAWD! Where is my very-berry lip gloss?!?!?!?" Cindy cried desperately while she pushed aside the strawberry body wash.

I looked at Sirius and tried to contain my laughter. And by the looks of Sirius turning bright orange I assumed he was trying not to laugh too. What the heck.

They both burst into helpless laughter. Cindy looked at them both. "GAWD it's not funny! Gawd I'm leaving! Angela is making my kiwi deodorant work too hard! Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes you did and we're all really wishing you didn't."

I could tell that Cindy tried to ignore me.

"So Sirius, what are you doing with such a dog?" Cindy made a stupid smirk.

"Well Cindy, I got tired of waiting for you." Sirius said lightly.

I cleared my throat and gave Sirius a cold stare. Sirius seemed to notice and made a quick recovery.

"But I never considered a beautiful woman like Angela a dog anyway." Sirius was strangely nervous when he said that. I smiled at him and to my surprise he slightly blushed.

"Well aren't I beautiful?" She quickly bushed her hair with her clear blue jelly brush and applied her long lost very-berry lip-gloss.

"Uh, um, I uh...think maybe to some...troll..."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Cindy rolled her eyes. "Angela if it's one thing I can't stand it's those awful clothes you're wearing. What the hell do you call that? Did you get that from 'Sluts-R-Us'?"

I smiled mockingly. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Sirius your love said so."

Cindy gave a shocked look. "Look I am NOT in love with Sirius! He's so-so-"

"Hot?" I supplied.

"Yeah! No! Gawd you suck!"

"Thank you."

"I-I hate you! WAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cindy screamed running upstairs.

Sirius grinned at me, "You think I'm hot?"
I gave him a secretive smile, "Maybe."
Then I threw off the blanket and got up, "I'll be right back, I need to get dressed."

By the time I got back Sirius was fast asleep on my chair with the blanket lain on him. I smiled and walked out of the common room to get some breakfast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I walked in everyone was whispering and there was a dark tone to the mood.

"Did you hear what happened?" James asked me, disturbed, when I sat down next to him and Lily.

"No I didn't. Going to tell me?"

"The Defense Against Dark Arts teacher mysteriously died last night. Everyone thinks it was a vampire." Lily answered for him.
