The Vampire Blood in the Snape Family

~ Chapter 12 ~ ~ The Lady in Red & Malum's First Class ~



Harry awoke in the middle of the night in a cold sweet, after dreaming of Voldemort killing someone. He sat up in his bed and saw a woman walking over to his bed.

She had bright red, hair, and her face was creamy and lacking anything to mess it up. Her eyes were golden and could hypnotize you in a second. She wore a ruby red dress, which was form fitting and seemed to be made of scales over lapping each other. It looked as if she glided over to Harry's bed where she sat down next to him.

"Who are you?" Harry asked her. it was clear she was no one he had ever known.

"That isn't of any importance right now." Her voice was low between a hiss and a whisper, "I will always be here to protect you, Harry Snape." The mysterious woman in red told him. Harry nodded, there was something about her, something that made him believe everything she said was true. "Now go to sleep, no harm will come to you tonight." She said as she moved a lock of hair away from his eyes. And he as if being hypnotized fell asleep.

~ Next Morning ~

Harry woke up when the sun hit his eyes. He rolled over and started to think about the lady in red. He rolled back over and looked around the room, there was no sign that she had ever been there. After looking down at his watch and deciding it was to early to go down for breakfast, he pulled a vile of blood out from under his bed and drank it. When he was done he reached over to get the book he was reading earlier but on top of the book there was a black box with an envelope. He picked it up and opened the letter and it said:

Harry Snape, Deep ruby red has been used forever as protection and to convey invulnerability from attacks by road agents, evil ones, enemies of all types, jealous women or men, plaques, evil spell and famine. When combined with gold and worn on the body, it is said they cause the body to rejuvenate and absorb energy from the sun and heal all types of body sickness and skin afflictions. They should be worn with gold to banish sadness or feeling drained or depleted. Ruled by Mars, they are used for instilling courage when going to war or taking on enemies of any kind to insure victory and ward off wounds or death. A Belated Birthday Gift, A Friend

When he was finished reading the letter/history of the ruby he opened the black box, all that was in there was a red snake ring made out of rubies with gold eyes. He took the ring out and found it fitted his right middle finger perfectly.

~ Later That Same Day ~ All the Gryffindors walked into their first Defense Against The Dart Arts, hardly anyone was looking forward to the class. Everyone seemed to think he was gong to be like their potions master. As everyone walked in and went to a desk and sat down in walked Malum robes blowing behind him. making him look like Severus.

"All ways wanted to do that." He said taking off the long black robe to show that he had another on only it was shorter. Malum moved over and sat on the desk, "Okay, I just want you all to know I am not your Potions Professor, there for I am nothing like him." He stood up and faced the room, "This year we will be focusing on one thing, The Unforgivable Curses. Dumbledore has told me that you studied the Imperius, this year you will study the Cruciatus Curse. Write this down!" He told them then he went back to talking as quills and parchment was being taken out, "There is no way to stop the Cruciatus Curse, but if you are subjected to small amounts for a long time you can keep you mind when you are at the hands of Voldemort."

Suddenly in walked Severus carrying a box labeled, 'Pain-Reliving Potions & Pepper-Up Potions'. He walked over and put it on the desk, "I don't think you will get any of those dunderheads to volunteer." Severus sneered as he looked around the classroom, Harry and most others were very pale, but Amanda was drawing a picture of a cat on her parchment instead of taking notes, "Well maybe you'll get one." He smirked and walked out of the classroom.

Then Malum started talking again, "I will not force you to do this, you don't even have to be in the room if you don't want to, but trust me, if you know what pain you are facing and you have understood it then you can over come it." He gave a smile of encouragement, "I ask that everyone dose the first step of just five seconds, but it is up to you. Any takers?"

No one raised their hand but Amanda, Malum had done this to her before and she could handle it, sort of anyway. Malum nodded and she walked up and stood in front of the class, Malum after casting a silencing spell so no one would hear them if they screamed. Malum pointed his wand at her, "Crucio!" Amanda bit her lip and for two seconds it seemed as it she hadn't even been hit, then she screamed. It was a blood curtailing heart stopping scream, he fell to her knees and rolled over on her back. Then after what seemed like forever but was only three more seconds he took the spell off and walked over to her and handed her a pepper-up potion, "You see class, I have done this to her before, she now can stand the curse for two seconds before giving in, and in those two seconds she could have cast a spell against me and stopped it from going very far, do that this time. AGAIN!" He told the class and shouted at her, she was ready thought and this time when it hit her she bit her lip grabbed her wand and yelled,

"Expelliarmus!" He flew a crossed the room hitting the wall she grabbed his wand and fell to her knees. After they each took a vile of Pepper-Up potion Malum started talking, "I want you all to be able to do that. That could mean the difference from life and death. Next class come prepared to do start building up a tolerance to the curse."

Everyone let the class talking about how cool this Professor Snape is. Harry had his arm around Amanda helping her to walk to the great hall.
