The Vampire Half 2
Author's Note: At last! The long awaited Vampire Half 2 is back! I have at
last finished Crazy Quest and began this story. Every character belongs to
J.K. Rowling except Ruby, Justice Archlight and some other imaginary
magical creatures and people. Don't worry about the Serbian language: you
read it as it is written and you write it as you say it. For example:
Rastko Zmajevich ( Ras-tko Zma-ye-vich).

Silence haunted the room.
'What do you mean?' asked Sibyl shakily.
McGonagall cocked an eyebrow, while Dumbledore mysteriously watched Severus, trying to understand what he meant to say by that.
Severus took a deep breath, and began the story.
*********
21 years ago...
15 year old Severus Snape entered his home, the Snape Manor. He was picked up by the House Elf, Milly, from the train station. It was the beginning of the summer holidays, and as usual, his father never came to pick him up. Milly did that instead.
They had traveled by floo powder from the nearest wizard shop, and were transported to Snape Manor. Severus cleaned the soot away from his black robes as he stepped from the fireplace, while Milly took his trunk upstairs to his room.
Severus took a deep breath and went towards the library. It was filled with shelves of ancient books, old since the times of the ancient Greeks and the Founder's times.
At the end of that magnificent library was an ebony table, with a tall dark wizard sitting next to it: Claudius Snape, Severus' father.
'You are late!' Claudius Snape hissed.
'I am sorry father, the train was over crowded, and I'm only a few minutes late,' answered Severus, a tall lad, who looked just like his father, but only had his mother's eyes.
'Few minutes means a lot!' barked his father.
Severus was silent.
'It was Milly's fault, wasn't it? Well, she'll be punished,' growled Claudius,' Milly!'
Once Claudius called, Milly appeared next to him.
'Yes sir?' she squeaked.
'You were late,' snarled Claudius, his eyes flashing dangerously.
Poor Milly squealed with fear, as Claudius Snape grabbed her large ears, and was ready to beat her with his own hands.
'Stop!' cried out Severus,' Father, it wasn't her fault!'
Claudius threw Milly aside, and with all his might slapped Severus across his face. Severus winced, but didn't back down.
'Foolish boy! How dare you stand up to such a degrading creature?' roared Claudius, 'I have come to talk about your marks. You did badly in Transfiguration..again.'
Severus shifted uneasily.
'In Transfiguration we must set our true characters free,' explained Severus,' you know I can't do that father, I must always keep on my mask and never show my true character.'
Quick as a snake, Claudius grabbed Severus' hair, and dragged him out of the library.
'You must be perfect in everything,' whispered Claudius,' I will show you what real discipline is!'
He threw Severus onto the floor, and kicked his ribs, cracking one of them. Claudius went and picked up a whip that was hanging onto the wall. He hurled the biting whip onto Severus, causing him to recoil in agony.
Claudius began mercilessly beating his son, without stopping, that even little drops of blood began staining the carpet and the walls.
A horrible headache suddenly came onto Severus, along with the throbbing endless pain that his father was inflicting on him. Severus began hearing angry voices inside his head, and could feel the mad pulse of his heart.
Severus looked up at his father, with a strange fire, or ice, in his eyes. But his father didn't notice it.
'Leave me alone!' yelled Severus, clenching his eyes shut.
It seemed that Claudius had pushed his son towards the very edge of sanity that he was clinging on to. Severus heard a crash and the beating stopped.
He opened his eyes and a shocking sight met his sight. His father was flung back against the wall by a mysterious force, and he was covered in a thin layer of ice.
********
'What happened then?' asked quietly Dumbledore in the present.
'Milly found me and helped healing my injuries,' whispered Snape, eyes downcast,' Father regained his consciousness when the ice had melted, but he never beat me that badly again.'
Dumbledore sucked in a deep breath. Sibyl had her eyes also downcast, while McGonagall looked shocked by this story. This was something she hadn't expected.
'I'm sorry Severus,' said Dumbledore guiltily,' I should have paid more attention on how you were treated at home, and on the other Slytherins.'
Severus looked up, with a new light in his eyes.
'You didn't help me,' spoke Severus,' but you could help the Slytherins that we have now.'
Suddenly, into the room barged Professor Sprout, who seemed breathless.
'Headmaster!' she cried out,' A manticore...it is in the Great Hall! The students are in danger!'
Dumbledore stood up defiantly, looking determined.
'Teachers protect the students! Stop the manticore!' yelled Dumbledore.
All the staff ran into the Great Hall. About 11 students were trembling in a corner as the manticore advanced on them. It opened its jaws and roared at them. Students of the school gathered outside the Hall, waiting intimately at what was going to happen.
Manticores resist many spells, even the Stupify that Professor Flitwick aimed at it. The manticore hit Flitwick with his powerful tail and sent the Charms teacher sprawling on the floor, unarmed.
The manticore now went towards Flitwick, and no one could stop this creature now.
Severus didn't know what he was doing. He felt his nails lengthening into long claws and his fangs getting longer. His body began producing a strange aura around him, and his skin wasn't greasy anymore, but beautifully pale like a pearl. His hair became silky and began to fall around his shoulders in little waves. He would have been wonderful, if his face didn't begin to suddenly snarl and growl dangerously.
Severus bounded to the limp for of Professor Flitwick and suddenly began to speak in a strange, different language that sounded so dark, cruel and deadly.
The manticore snarled back at him, but then Severus' eyes began to turn a yellowish-green color, a hypnotizing stare.
Amazingly, the manticore whimpered and its tail went between its legs like a wounded creature. It lay down onto the floor and continued simpering.
Severus picked Fliwick gently up, while his white fangs curled in his yellowish teeth, the grease returned and his eyes became a normal colour.
He handed Flitwick to Hagrid, who looked dumbly back at him in surprise. The students were frantically whispering to each other, so were the teachers, looking and watching in his direction. The aura disappeared around Severus, and he left the Great Hall without a word, not turning to anybody.
Justice Archlight found out the secret, and her blood began to boil.
So, I was right, you are a half vampire, the thoughts inside her boiled, just the more reason for me to be more cruel to you...
Author's Note: Ah, yes! I finished this chapter. Pretty creepy on how Severus was tortured by his own father and how he scared the manticore! Please review!
