Attai woke up and she took the potion that Severus had put out with a note. Then she walked out, "Go to the Great Hall" said the note. She walked through the various hallways and found the Great Hall. It was packed with students and she felt uneasy. So much blood around her, how was she supposed to resist? She put her hood on and forced herself not to look at anyone. She heard names being called out.
"Argus, James!!!!!," shouted an extremly large man. A boy about 13 years old ran to a stool and hat in the center of circle and put the hat on. After a few seconds, the hat amazingly shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Bucsh, Kerri!" "Slytherin!"
"Bwinell, Harrison!" "Gryffindor!"
The hat continued to shout of the names of houses along with Hagrid who shouted out the names of the students.
The list went down and they continued.
"Gammer, Fraise!" "Hufflepuff!"
"Gillcase, Fred!" "Hufflepuff!"
"Goips, Daniel!" "Slytherin!"
"Hephs, Attaine!" Attaine froze, then Hagrid patted her on the back. She let her hood fall down and she ran to the hat afraid that the hunger would seize her. She put the hat on and heard a voice in her head.
"I'm very sorry Attai" said the hat, half-mockingly. She bit her lip, but was careful not to draw any blood. "Shut up and get over with it. I don't want to hurt anyone" she said. "Hmm, Slytherin, Gryffindor" it said. "You have a love of music, you're a vampire, you don't want to hurt anyone." the hat thought. "Please hurry" said Attaine. "Oh all right, I guess you'd better be" "GRYFFINDOR!" she took the hat off, put her hood back on and hurried to the Gyrffindor table.
Harry looked at the new Gryffindor. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Leave me alone" she said quietly. Ron leaned over, "Are you cold?" he asked. "Leave me alone!" she snarled and resisted the urge to bite the Gryffindor. Hermione blanched. "Leave her alone" she said and pulled Ron away. "What's wrong with her?" asked Ron, hurt by Attaine's behavior. "I dunno" said Harry. "She doesn't seem safe" said Hermione. "Oh Herm! How can she not be safe?" asked Ron. "You'd be surprised" thought Attaine.
Severus had encountered her again before she went into the Gryffindor tower and made her drink the goblet, then handed her a book. "What's this?" she asked. "It's on...us" he said, and she understood. He turned and left and she hurried into the tower.
She sat on her bed and flipped through the pages.
No wonder, thought Attaine. "I brought my own fate upon me" she closed the book and put it under her pillow, then went to sleep, making sure that the sun, the next morning would strike the other side of the bedroom.

"M-master" said Wormtail, he groveled at the feet of Voldemolt. "Don't tell me you failed again" said Voldemolt. Wormtail shook his head, "N-no Master. The potion has b-been made" Voldemolt's thin lips smiled, Wormtail shook. "Good job Wormtail, you will give it to Severus Snape" Wormtail shook even harder, "W-why?" "Because he is a traitor to us." said Voldemolt. "S-Severus? O-of course Master" he said and bowed, then scurried away.
Voldemolt looked off into the distance, "I will destroy all you have worked for Severus" he said, and then with a faint pop, he apparated elsewhere.
