Disclaimer: Ok…here it comes. Harry Potter belongs….TO ME!!! *A bunch of angry lawyers run out waving papers and yelling angrily* Ok ok ok! Everything that you recognize belongs to J.K. Rowling and everything that you don't is MINE! So there!

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

Last Time on "Witches, Wizards, and Vampires! Oh My!":

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

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

I felt a cold stab of fear, and asked, "What makes you think that?"

"Well, Dumbledore is trying to keep it quiet. No one knows exactly how it happened, but everyone says he died of blood-loss and that he has a puncture holes on his neck." James responded dramatically.

"Oh really?" I swallowed nervously. "How strange."

"Yeah, scary too." Lily commented.

"And you want to know the worst of it…?" James said in a spooky voice.

"Non, mais quel choix j'ont?" I replied.

"Huh?" Lily asked.

"Oh, sorry. I slipped, what I said was. No, but what choice do I have?"

"There's no evidence. No clues, no footprints, no sign of anyone, no nothing. It was as if no one was even in the room he was in…it was as if…he was attacked…by someone who doesn't exist." James said in a 'scary-campfire-story' way.

"Well I know how it happened." Said a voice behind them. It was a highly annoying voice, but it couldn't be Cindy because it was a male voice.

"I believe the Slytherin table that way Severus. But then of course I can always be mistaken." James said aggravated.

"Humph, quiet fool, I wasn't talking to you." He muttered. "As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted; I know how he died. I was there."

Everyone raised his or her eyebrows, which meant that everyone highly doubted that Severus was telling the truth.

"Don't believe me? Fine. I can deal with that." He said starting to walk away.

"Excuse me." I said getting up from my seat.

Severus was on his way to the Slytherin table when I grabbed his arm.

"Yes?" He said with an arrogant smile.

"Cut the merde, tell me what happened." I said with a serious face. He just smiled cruelly.

"You had better be nicer to me…maybe a kiss or two would make up-" I squeezed his arm harshly. This seemed to stop his pointless babbling.

"Ow!" He whined.

"Stop stalling and tell me." I said impatiently.

"Maybe we should go somewhere more private." He said cautiously.

***

I dragged him into the History of Magic room.

"Alright, tell me what you saw."

He smirked, "Only if you give me a little kiss."

I got a predatory glint in my eye, "Fine, close your eyes handsome."

Severus smiled and puckered up, and then I slapped him, hard.

Whatever he was expecting, it wasn't that. He staggered backwards and rubbed his cheek where I had slapped him. It didn't take him long to figure out that he wasn't going to get his kiss.

"Forget you!" He screamed at me and rose to leave but I caught his robe and pulled him back.

"You're not going anywhere till you tell me what you saw!" I threatened him. He sneered at me. I shoved him roughly into a chair and he found out he wasn't go anywhere for a while.

"I was thirsty, so I thought I should get something to drink last night." He spoke reluctantly, I could tell he was used to doing things his own way.

"Go on." I said sweetly. He stared at with disbelief but went on.

" Why am I telling you this again?" He said sarcastically.

"Because if you don't, your next 'kiss' well send you to the hospital wing!"

He sighed. "After my drink I heard a window open behind me, so I turned around and saw a shadow."

"And…?" I asked now that he was at the good stuff.

"That's all." He replied mindlessly.

"What?" I said shocked.

"I fell asleep." He suddenly became very interested in the blackboard.

"But you said you knew what happened!" I yelled at him.

"So I stretched the truth a bit." He said not even looking at me.

"Figures." I said aggravated.

"Jeez, can I go now?"

"Non."

"Why not?"

"Do you remember anything else?"

"No!"

"Not anything?"

"I said 'no' didn't I?" He replied aggravated.

"Well you also said you knew what happened and that didn't work out very well now did it!?!??!"

"Well I'm telling the truth this time."

"Darn." I said as I leaned back.

"Can I go now?"

"Yeah, get out kid, you bother me."

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

Cindy was up to her usual tricks that morning, she started to tell the latest gossip to everyone. Of course she had to put herself in it too.

"So I said ' Professor Dumbledore I found the teacher!' And he said 'Good work I always knew you were the best student in the whole school!' That's when Sirius Black came up to me and gave me a big kiss! So I-oh, hello Angela." Cindy was in her better moods.

I grinned mockingly. I was angry that I couldn't rip out her guts right then and there and stomp on them. Her stories were stupid, everyone knew that they weren't true, except maybe her prep friends Jay and Reenie.

Jay and Reenie were Cindy's posse. Jay, being the shortest of the crowd, always wore huge heels and a snobby attitude. Reenie was the classic valley girl who can't finish a three-word sentence without saying 'like' twice.

"You like, know like, Cindy, you can like, get like, a medal for that!" Reenie twirled her hair with her finger.

"I know Gawd you should! Good for you Cindy!" Jay screamed happily and hugged Cindy. It was enough to make anyone puke.

I rolled my eyes. "Excuse me while I regurgitate in the back room." Everyone laughed.

"Like, girl, like you are like, in trouble now!" Reenie threatened. Somehow I felt unafraid.

Jay had the nerve to speak up. Heck, she always did. "You BEST not be jealous of Cindy just because she got to be brave!"

"Brave? You calling lying brave?"

"I am NOT lying!" Cindy cried.

"Although I do think that wearing that outfit is brave…" I stroked my chin thoughtfully.

Cindy burst into tears. She was a poor excuse for the female race.

"Like Cindy! Like whatever! Don't like cry!" Reenie put a comforting arm around her.

"Now look what you made her do!" Jay yelled.

"Make her? Make her? I can't make her do anything. It's not my problem she can't handle the truth."

"Oh! Sirius will be mad that you were mean to me." Cindy said.

Well, as the Fates would have it, Sirius chose that moment to show up.

"Angie! Come on, there's something I need to show you!" He said excited as he grabbed my arms and dragged me into the Gryffindor common room.

Renee's mouth opened. "Like, oh my Gawd! Like, Cindy, like, ya know, like what is, like, that, ya know, loser doing with, like, your man?"

"I don't know, maybe he's going to tell her that he's already taken." Cindy said dreamily. Severus' laugh could be heard in the background.

"Hullo men." Severus said to them, slapping their weak shoulders.

"EWWW!!!!! HE'S LIKE, TOUCHING ME!!!!!" Renee screamed.

"I didn't bother to wash my hair this week." He smiled evilly, and nudged his greasy hair on their clothes. All three girls screamed and ran away from him.

"Hey Severus," Lucius said, "How did you get us seats so quickly?"

"Oh," He replied, "I have my little ways."

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

"So what did you want to show me?"

"Nothing, I just figured I'd save you from being eaten alive."

"My hero." I said rolling my eyes.

James ran up to us.

"Hey James, what's up?" Sirius inquired.

"We have to be in the Great Hall right now."

"Why?" I asked.

He just shrugged, "Beats me."

We all walked into the Great Hall.

Dumbledore was looking tired and worried, which meant that something was very wrong. Everyone knew about the DADA teachers' untimely death. But whenever the subject came up no one seemed to want to talk about it, well, not the teachers anyway.

Everyone took their seats in the Great Hall, staring around waiting for whatever they had came for.

"I have an announcement to make! As you all know Professor Robinson has passed away and as a precaution you shall all sleep in the Great Hall tonight."

A mummer went through the room full of students.

After we had eaten dinner, the tables were pushed against the wall and we were given big fluffy sleeping bags.

The gang and I, minus Remus, occupied a corner.

"Goodnight everyone." I called out, then there was a chorus of Goodnight's all around the Great Hall.

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

He sleeked into the Great Hall looking nothing more then a shadow. She's here, he thought to himself. Following her scent he gazed at his childe. Then bit down a surge of jealousy when he saw her curled up next to another guy. There'll be time for her later. Right now he has more important matters to attend to.

"Soon." He whispered.

After a couple more minutes he sleeked out the window, not forgetting the young man he saw with his girl.

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

Madam Pomfrey guided Remus into the Great Hall. He was feeling very uneasy; he had seen Professor Robinson rushed into the hospital wing. A threat of spewing came up his throat, but he suppressed it. The body didn't look necessary gross; it was just bloodless and limp.

When he walked in, he couldn't wait to tell James and Sirius what he had seen.

"Hello Remus. Feeling better?" Angela asked politely.

Remus looked at her full of terror.

"Um- James, Sirius, can I talk to you a minute?" Remus said shaky.

"Something wrong?" Angela asked worried.

Remus didn't even reply to her, James and Sirius got up from their chairs.

"We'll be right back Angie." James said frowning.

"Ok." Angela replied puzzled.

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

I got the feeling that Remus wasn't taking James and Sirius away to have a jolly chat. So I got up and started to follow them, though when they went into an empty room I got a tingling in the back of my neck.

"Anything interesting going to happen, or are you just standing there for fun?" said a voice behind me.

"Jeremiah, you are sooooo dead."

"I know, I've been dead for over a thousand years." He replied with a smile in his voice.

I whirled on him enraged. "If you think that you can just do that to me as if I were another one of your conquests and not expect me to be angry. Then you are nothing better then a –"

"Ok, ok! I get the point! And you have every right to be angry with me, I was going with what I do best." He said interrupting me, and before I could reply he went on,

"What I wanted to tell you the other night was that Antonius is alive and here, in England."

Whatever I expected him to say, it wasn't that, I just stared at him in shock and when I could talk again all I said was, "That's impossible. I saw him die."

"Nothing's impossible darlin'. And he's as sure as heck alive."

I heard voices approach us. It was James and the group.

"Hey Angela- who's this?" Lily asked me.

"This is an old friend of mine, Jeremiah. Jeremiah, meet Lily; Lily, Jeremiah." I said smiling at her.

"Hi." Lily said weakly.

"Hey." Jeremiah replied.

Jeremiah turned to me, "I'll see ya later sweetheart, keep your head." He said with a double meaning to his words.

"See ya Jer."

With that Jeremiah left as if he were nothing but a shadow.

"Strange guy." James comments.

"Yeah, he's something else." I replied then turned to James, "So what's up?"

"Remus has the inside scoop. Everyone is trying to figure out just what the devil killed Professor Robinson, it's really a mystery! And we're going to solve it! Tonight, we're looking for clues. So…want to come?" James said excited.

"But we'll get caught, there's bound to be tons of people guarding at night!"

"Ssshhhhhhh!" Sirius said staring me. I had forgotten he was there. James smiled.

"I have an invisibility cloak." He whispered to me.

I sighed. "Ok. I'll come."

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

Late that night James, Remus, Sirius, and I got under James' cloak and went to Professor Robinson's office. (Lily couldn't come because she had to much homework.)

When we got there I stopped stalk still and stared at the wall. The others passed me so I became visible again, then Sirius appeared.

"Angela? Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"You look a little pale." I chuckled at that comment.

Not answering I walked over to the wall in front of us as if in a trance. Stopping right in front of the symbol that was drawn on the wall in blood. I knew that symbol, and the person who claims it.

"Antonius." I whispered as I traced my fingers over the symbol, getting the blood on them. Jeremiah was right.

"Hey guys, check this out." Said James sounding eager, looking at the symbol.

There was a thump behind them, then a beam of light. Everyone quickly got under the invisibility cloak. A boy came in with a flashlight. I sighed, it was Severus. James lead us all in a place Severus couldn't see and took of the cloak.

I gave a "What do we do now?" look to everyone. All I got were shrugs in response.

"BOO!" Sirius shouted as he put his hands on Severus' shoulders, which made him, jump at least three feet in the air.

We all started laughing at his shocked expression. I calmed down enough to ask, "What are you doing here Severus? Spying on us?"

"I could ask you the same thing." He replied recovering from his fright.

"But we asked first." Sirius said with a smirk, which caused Severus to sneer.

"I was looking for that monster. I couldn't sleep. I wanted to find out about what happened here last night…but that's none of your business." He answered frustrated.

"We were doing the same thing." James said. "We could use your help-"

"Just don't get in our way." Sirius sneered.

"You were already in my way." Severus sneered back.

"How? We were here first." I said smiling mockingly.

"No you weren't! I would have seen you!" Severus exclaimed.

"Looks can be deceiving." Remus said darkly while looking at me. I arched an eyebrow in question.

"So, we can help each other or be against each other." James said.

"Do you have any idea how corny that sounded?" Asked Sirius, grinning.

"Yeah."

"Fine! I'll help you losers only because I have no choice." Severus called out.

"You always have a choice, but that's not the point. Well lets go snooping around in business that isn't ours." I said sarcastic and slightly bitter.

"Aww, Angie didn't want to come." Remus teased.

"Your right, I didn't."

With that said we all started looking around the room comparing notes. Or at least the others were, I just kept staring at the symbol of the Caecilius Family. For some reason they didn't really think it was important, but I knew better.

"You find that symbol fascinating don't you?" A voice behind me said. I jumped, startled. Turned to see Sirius smiling at me, which I returned with a smile of my own. It's hard not to smile when he's looking at you like that.

"It's just familiar, I don't know where I saw it before though." Lair, a nasty little voice whispered in my head, Quiet you! I snapped at it.

"This is boring! You guys are boring and you ruin everything, I could have found everything out by now if it weren't for you." Severus whined.

I tuned him out because a sound had caught my ear; it was hard to catch it though because of Severus. "Quiet! I think I hear something." I snapped at him.

Severus stopped in mid-word.

There it was again; I couldn't place it though. "Remus, do you hear anything?" I asked him, because I knew that his hearing was almost as sharp as mine was with him being a werewolf and all.

"…No…are you ok?" He asked unsure.

"This is spooky…alright this is cool!" Sirius said excited. Clearly he didn't fear anything that wasn't attacking him at the moment.

"I think I just saw something…" Severus said not daring to move.

"Wouldn't it be a shame if the monster ate Severus?" Remus said sweetly; obviously sarcastic.

"How do you know it was monster?" I asked prowling around the sides of the room trying to locate the sound. "It could have been human."

"Believe me, it wasn't human." Severus reassured me.

"You would be surprised what the human race can do." I answered back.

"By the way you talk I'd think you weren't human." James jokingly said.

"Whoever said I wasn't?" I said with a little secretive smile.

This time we all heard the sound, thinking it was a teacher; James threw the invisibility cloak over all of us.

I almost fell over in shock over what happened next.

Antonius climbed in through the window. He must have smelled my fear or felt me near by because on half way to the door he stopped.

"Who's there?" His whisper echoing eerily. None of us moved so much as a muscle.

"Oh come on, I'm not really in the mood for games, but if you insist…" He said taking a few steps in our direction then stopping as if listening for something.

"Odd, only four heartbeats…" He said looking around intently.

"What does he mean?" Severus said below a whisper.

Antonius chuckled darkly, "I mean that your not all human." He said still looking around the room trying to locate us. "Why don't you take of that silly cloak so we can talk like civil people. It's not fair that you can see me and I can't see you."

"Live with it." Sirius said. I elbowed him for it; Antonius was baiting us to make a slip like that. Another sound and he would know exactly where we are.

Severus gasped. "He heard me."

"Shut up you bloody idiot."

"Quiet, he'll hear us."

"Too late morons."

"Well the cat's out of the bag." James said then took the cloak off us making us visible again. I would have sworn that I saw Antonius' face light up like a little boy on Christmas day when he saw me.

"Angela." He said barley over a whisper. My name rolling off his tongue like silk. It took a lot of will power on my part not to flinch.

"Bonjour Antonius." I said with contempt.

"I'm assuming you know each other." Severus sneered. This hadn't been what he expected at all, in fact none of them were expecting that.

"YA THINK!?!?!" Sirius yelled.

"Ssssshhhhh!" said Remus terrified.

"Are you the one that….?" James asked Antonius gesturing the blood on the wall.

"Yeah," He looked around the room in self-admiration, "One of my best ideas yet I believe." Funny, when does the murderer admit to the murderer?

"And your family symbol. Nice touch." I said sarcastically and he grinned wolfishly in return.

"Leave it to you to notice something like that, mon chere."

"HELP! HELP! HELP! PROFFESSOR DUMBLEDORE! HEADASTER! HELP!" Severus screamed.

Antonius left in a blur when footsteps approached the room. Professor McGonagall marched in.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?" Professor McGonagall shouted.

"HE DID IT….HE DID IT…" Remus babbled.

"Mr. Lupin, I don't care who did what. What I want is an explanation. What are you doing here?"

"Well, um, you see Professor, we were um-" Remus began.

"Sleep walking." I said.

"Yeah, and then we all sort of ended up here because, um, er, we-"

"Were dreaming about each other." James said. We all gave him looks. "Not like that!"

"It is not possible that all of you could be sleepwalking at the same night, and all end up at the same place!" Professor McGonagall said frustrated.

"Sure it is." Sirius said with an all to cheerful smile.

Severus let out a false fake sniffle.

"They made me come!" He said in pretend tears. "They said if I didn't go-they-they would hurt me!"

"Severus, we despise you. Why in the devil would we want you to come anywhere near us." I said angrily.

"To get me in trouble!" He sobbed.

Professor McGonagall patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"There, there Mr. Snape, you may go to your common room." Professor McGonagall said sweetly.

"Th-thank you Professor." He muttered. He smiled deviously at us over McGonagall's shoulder.

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

After being assigned detention we walked back to the common room and Cindy and her posse were sitting there talking.

When she saw Sirius, Cindy jumped out of her chair, her dress looking as if she stole it out of my closet. It was a low cut silk black dress that clings to all the right spots. Though not on her because I was taller and skinner than she was.

"Sirius do you like my new dress? Silk you know."

"That's mine you little troll!!!"

"Reenie picked it out for me today."

"Yeah out of my closet!"

"You can't prove that!"

"Wanna bet?"

Cindy looked confused for a second.

"You know what? Keep it. It was the one my sister was murdered in anyway." I said turning away. It hurt to say that, but maybe that girl will leave my clothes alone after that.

Everyone stared at her then looked away.

Sirius dragged me softly away from the crowd, as I was about to rip Cindy's eyes out.

"Don't want to get in deeper trouble do you?" He whispered into my ear amused.

I smiled, "Who would've thought that you would be the voice of reason."

He grinned roguishly. " I do have my moments."

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

Severus fell asleep right away. That was a close one. It's a good thing McGonagall didn't call his bluff or he would have detention.

Early in the night, he had a dream. He was walking in a high muggle building. It was dark and he was working late in his office. He took a sip of coffee and his heart stopped. Something was on the sill of his window. The window slammed open and he felt the warm breeze hit him. What was happening? Something like a shadow came behind him and before it could hurt him he woke up in a cold sweat.

"LUKE!!!!!"

"Ughhhhhhh. …"

(A/N: For all the slow people. Luke would most likely have been Lucius' nickname.)

"Luke, wake up." Severus said alarmed.

"Severus….it's dark…sleep." Lucius said struggling with sleepiness.

"A Night Mare visited me…see the hoof print?"

(A/N: if you want to understand this last sentence, read the Xanth novels by Piers Anthony.)

"That's nice." Lucius muttered then went back to sleep.

"It's so great I have dependent friends." Severus spat bitterly.

"Isn't it?" A voice beside his bed whispered.

Severus jumped out of bed and turned around terrified, to see the man from earlier standing there with a smirk on his face.

"Hhhhhhheehhh, tuth huhhh…. LUCIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Severus screamed in total horror.

That only caused the man's smirk grow and a sinister look in his eyes appears. "They can't hear you, they are in such a deep sleep that the won't wake up till well after noon."

He said as he took a step closer which caused Severus to back up.

Severus grabbed his wand and pointed it at him.

"Stay away from me or I do something we both might regret." He said seriously.

"Ooohhh, I'm trembling. Trust me, your pallor tricks won't work on me."

"Why are you here? What are you planing to do with me?" Severus asked holding his wand tightly. It was hard to attack when he was so scared, but tried not to show it.

"I sense anger in you. That interests me, we can help each other you know."

"How? What do you want from me? Who are you?"

The man smirked again.

"I am Death, and I need your help. I want the girl."

"Which girl; there's tons of girls in Hogwarts."

"Angela."

"Never. You murdered our teacher."

"Yeah, he tasted a lot like chicken." He said with a sarcastic tone.

"Are you mocking me?"

"Actually I'm mocking man kind."

"I'll never bargain for a human life."

"Who said I wanted a human?"

"But Angela-"

"What? She hasn't told you her little secret?"

"…What secret…?"

"Tsk, tsk, shame really. She never appreciated the gift I gave her."

"You have three seconds until I scream."

"Really? And to think that I'm suppose to have all the time in the world." He sighed. "I thought Angela would be happy knowing she was- but apparently not."

"What are you talking about?"

"If we have a deal I'll tell you all you need to know."

"You can kiss my butt."

"Goodness, how could I refuse such an offer." He said sarcastically. "No thank-you, I think I'll pass. Oh well, you'll be hearing from me soon Mr. Snape. Pleasant dreams." And with a shimmer, he was gone.

How did he know my name? Snape wondered.

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