Chapter 3

For night it was still quite light with all the building lit up. The air was warm and comfortable as a white owl swooped down from the sky and into an open window of the motel. The owl arrival went unnoticed by the two occupants.

The first was about five foot seven inches. A women of nineteen with long light brown hair that reached her knees. Her eyes were the colour of light blue that seemed to change at will

The second was man of six foot five, with saggy light blond hair that reached his shoulders. He seemed pale and drained. And was clutching a bottle in his right hand. But was full of life.

The couple seemed to be arguing about something

".Leave me to my to my drink!" The blond man roared

"I spent the last four months of my life tracking you down, so you wouldn't do something stupid, like kill yourself just because she broke up with you." This was equally heated as the mans response

He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "You know nothing about it, Rapunzel."

"I have a pretty good idea. And stop calling me Rapunzel." She said animatedly

He took two threaten steps towards her so that there was only a foot apart but she held her ground.

"Then what am I supposed to call you, unpleasant child." His eyes started to glaze over.

"Call me Katte, Spike or should I call you William the Bloody-Idiot." She looked at him rebelliously.

His eyes flamed red. It happened so quickly, that Katte had no time to do anything as he graved her around the waist and pulled her up against him.

"Do not cross me, Katte. I can only be pushed so far." He said in a low snarl as his mouth descended to her lips, crashing her to him as he ravished her lips to his pleasure.

Katte struggled in his arms, trying to get free. One of his hands was on the back of her neck holding her mouth to his, his other was on the small of her back pushing her closer to him. Katte struggles slowly stopped as she was woven into his spell and started to kiss him back with a strong need pushing herself against him with a furious need that startled them both.

They both jumped apart when an owl swooped them. Katte embarrassed with what she was doing went to stand on the other side of the room to separate herself from Spike as she read the letter she retrieved from the owl, her face flaming red. When she looked up again, Spike sat lazily in a chair near by with a smug look on his face.

Katte had calmed herself enough to face him "The letter is from my sister she wants me to go to England."

"Good riddance."

"And you're coming with me."

~~~~~~

A station wagon drove down the quite street. A man wearing black long- sleeved and black jeans drove the car. His hair was freshly washed and tied at the nape of his neck. Neck to him sat a big black dog.

"How did I ever let him talk me into this?" The man complained. The dog snickered. "And how the hell did I get stuck with you?" The dog just shook his head.

The car pulled up in front of a two-story brick house. In one of the upper rooms of the house a fifteen year old girl with wavy brown hair and brown eyes, sat in her room reading a book when she heard the door bell ring. "Coming" Hermione Granger called as she closed the book and run down stairs.

When she opened the door Hermione's mouth dropped open "Professor Snape!" She exclaimed, both surprised to she him here and wearing muggle clothes.

Then the black dog run past her into the lunge room, Hermione run after him. Snape stepped into the house and closed the door behind him.

When Hermione got to the lunge room there was no sign of the dog but in the middle of the room stood Sirius Black.

"Sirius" Hermione smiled "What are you two doing here. together?"

"Not by choice" Snape muttered from behind.

"Severus, shut up. Harry was kicked out of the Dursleys and run into some trouble when he came to Hogwarts. And for safety's sake we thought it would be better if you stayed there to. By the way, where are your parents?"

"They're at work, but I can leave a note. I'll go back

~~~~~

Lupin and McGonagall apperated in front of the Burrow where it seemed that all the Weasley children were gnomeing the garden.

"In coming" Charlie yelled as a gnome flow strait towards them. But the two adults easily sidestepped it. Then made there way offer to the group

"Sorry," Bill said as they reach them "Didn't see you there"

"That's all right, Bill." MacGonagall said, "Is your parents in?"

"Yes, there in the kitchen." Ginny answered

"Thank-you" MacGonagall said before she went inside. Lupin remand wear he was.

"How are you, Ron" Lupin inquired

"Good, Prof.I mean, Lupin" Ron was surprised as the rest of them to see the best ex-professor of defence against the dark arts teacher. Bill and Charlie didn't know him but had heard a lot about him from there younger siblings.

"Still up to your old tricks, boys?" he asked the twins

"Of course," Fred replied

"What are you doing here?" asked George

"George," Percy reprimanded

"What, I'm Fred" George said. Then the twins and Percy got into another argument.

Lupin shook his head, "And as for your question, George, I'm here on Potter business.

The front door open and Molly Weasley appeared "Get into the house and pack your bags."

~~~~~

Snape, Sirius and Hermione to the train station and went through the wall to nine and three-quarter were the Hogwarts Express waited with one charge. Lupin, McGonagall and the Weasley's were already they're loading their things on the train.

Ron turned around just then and noticed the new arrivals "Hermione!" Ron called, then ran to her

"Hi Ron" Hermione smiled making his heart flutter" I'm glad to see you"

Ron gave her a big smile 'Don't get your hopes up, Ron' he said to himself 'when you tell her you love her it will be perfect and private'

Ron cleared his throat "Do you know why were being taken to Hogwarts. The Adults want tell us much except that's it's for our safety"

"It has something to do with Harry. I'm sure they'll tell us more when we get there"

When they were all on the train, Sirius went to the front to drive the train. He put a new saying to 'petal to the metal'

~~~~~

Jessyka just came out of the library when she heard a commotion down in the entrance hall. Going to investigate, Jessyka ended up on the top of the stairs looking down at the couple that had just arrived.

The woman was the same height as her and the same eyes and hair, but that were the same looks ended for these twins.

The other person was a man with short spike blond hair and had a pale look about him like he had been dead for a while.

"Oh, please" Jessyka said to Katte, who turned when she spoke, "When I told you to get a guy in your life I didn't mean a nusverato."

"Oh, this is coming from a girl who used to date one"

Spike was looking back and forth with a big grin on his face. He was glad he let Katte drag him here. This was going to be an interesting stay with these twins.

"We weren't dating, we just had a close friendship"

"Yeah right, then what do you call that kiss"

By now Jessyka was descending the stairs "A kiss that's it. Just a light friendly kiss"

The last word was said when Katte and Jessyka were only a foot apart. They reached for each other and hugged

"God, I've missed you," They said at the same time. Spike was a little disappointed that they weren't going to ripe each others heads off.but you can't have everything in death

When they separated, Jessyka turned to Spike

"You an enemy of Katte's?"

Without hesitation "Yes, in a way"

Jessyka held out her hand "Pleased to meet you. I'm Jess" Katte hit her on the shoulder

A devilish grin came on his lips "Spike"

Dumbledore and Harry had watched this confirmation from the dinning hall. A slight grin on their face that looked like the same as the other. If you had not meet them before you would swear they were related.

~~~~~

The train made one stop on the way to Hogwarts to pick up a female passenger in the middle of nowhere. With the help of Lupin, she boarded the train and they hugged.

Snape's eyes roamed the nineteen year olds body as she was introduced to the others She had long curly hair with sky pale eyes. She was about five foot six and half inches with a nice figure and had one of the nicest smiles he had ever seen

When Lupin was about to introduce them Sirius called him to the front of the train, while the others went into the compartment Snape stayed the women when he picked up her hand and lifted it to his lips "Severus Snape"

Her smile brightened the room "Samantha Lupin, but everyone calls me Sam"

"Sam it is then" A gleam had entered his eyes that made Sam a little nerves and uncomfortable around him.

Sam quickly pulled he hand out of his and followed the others into the compartment. Snape stayed were he was for a moment, a slow smile coming to his lips. 'She quite nice. A pity that she's related to that werewolf but I think I can work my way around that.' When he entered the compartment a few minutes later he was his same old self

~~~~~

A few hours later Hagrid had come back from checking out the forest, which turned out to be clear.

Dumbledore, Hagrid, Harry, Jessyka, Katte and Spike sat around a table in the dinning hall. Dumbledore was about to bring out the food but a loud squeak came from above as a small owl landed on the table with a letter in his beak

"Hello, Pig" Harry said as he took the letter from him. Pig flew up and around in circles around the table

Harry shook his head and opened the letter

Hi Harry How are you? All of us will be at Hogwarts in a couple of hours. WHAT IS GOING ON? The adults want tell us a thing

See you when we get there Ron

Harry folded the letter and handed it to Dumbledore to read.

"Hagrid, can you go to the station and pick up our guest with three carriages?"

"Sure thin' professor"

"I'll came with you, Hagrid" Jessyka said as she got up to go with him

Katte protested, "You're not leaving me behind"

Before another argument, Dumbledore cut in "We might as well all go" Spike grumbled but followed everyone as they left the room

~~~~~

Before the group had left, Jessyka and Katte had changed into their robes the same style as each other with long trailing sleeves and a V shaped neck and they had the same colours, purple and blue, but in opposite ways. Spike had been stubborn and kept his black leather duster on. Harry and Hagrid had put jackets on.

They waited at the station all of ten minutes before the heard the train. When it came into view it was going very fast so when it stopped at the station a moment later they could hear a lot of people been thrown from their seats

"Get of me" someone yelled

"Ouch, watch it" another said

"That's my foot"

"Can someone help me?"

"Sirius I'm going to kill you"

"Stop complaining"

"Watch your head"

"Ouch"

"Let me out of here"

"This was the best train ride yet"

"Oh, shut up"

"Watch your language "

This and more came out of the train

The first to appear out of the train was Ron who helped Hermione and Ginny out of the train and went over to Harry who meet them half way.

Arthur Weasley steeped out next and helped Molly, Minerva and Samantha. Then came other rest of the Weasley's as well as Lupin who was nursing his jaw and Snape and Sirius who both had black eyes.

Dumbledore and Hagrid made their way over to them and helped unload the trunks but Katte and Jessyka whit Spike not far behind had stayed in the shadows

"Hay Katte, isn't that Samantha Lupin" Jessyka pointed out

"Who?" Katte asked looking in that direction

"Sam Lupin. She at the same grade school as we wear"

"Good memory. Hay couldn't turn into a wolf or something"

"A werewolf"

"How can she turn into a vampire at will?"

Both girls turned to see the vampire not five feet away.

"I don't know" Jessyka said "Over the centuries some witches and wizards could turn into something or other naturally without the use of a potion"

"How odd" Spike said

"Hah, this coming from a vampire" Katte snapped

Jessyka rolled her eyes and walked away as they went into another agreement. Jessyka walked over to Samantha who stood a little apart from the rest of the others

"Hi Sam"

"Hi Jess. I have to asked this but are those two an item or something because they differently look like they are"

Jessyka doubled over with laughter "Don't let them hear you say that" She took a couple of breaths before continuing, "I'm surprised that you would remember us"

Sam smiled "How could I forget the most troublesome kids in the school in the school. You two certainly kept the teachers on their toes"

Jessyka shrugged "Well, it kept life lively"

While Samantha and Jessyka talked Harry had just finished telling Ron, Hermione and Ginny what had happened what happened yesterday.

"And that's just about it" Harry shrugged

"Harry, how could you just trust Jessyka I mean by the looks of it she's ok but with what happened.how could you?" Hermione inquired

"I don't know. There's something about her that can't help but like and trust. Even when she threatened to turn my aunt into a fly I could tell she might say thing like that but not really mean it." Then Harry went on to explain to them about Coal.

Lupin, Snape and Sirius stood in a line with Dumbledore standing in front of them.

"So which one of you wants to tell me what happened?" Dumbledore asked

The three of them looked at each other guiltily before turning back to Dumbledore. All of them felt like schoolboys again

"I feel forward and hit my eye when the train stopped"

"A foot landed in my eye"

"I run into the door"

Three excuses came out the same time making Dumbledore shake his head "Help with the luggage"

~~~~~

Harry and Ron slept in there room in Gryddindore Tower with Fred, George and Percy. Hermione slept in her room with Ginny, Katte, Jessyka and Samantha.

Bill, Charlie, Lupin and Sirius slept in another room not far away. Snape, McGonagal, Dumbledore and Hagrid slept where they normally do and Molly and Arthur slept in a guest room.

Around midnight Coal flow to the window of Hermione's room. The beating of his wings woke Jessyka from her light sleep.

"Coal" Jessyka said sleepily "What is it?" She pushed open the window and looked out

"The vampire wants to see you by the lake" He solemnly said

Jessyka looked back into the room were Katte slept "But she's asleep"

"Jessyka!" Coal reprimanded

"Sorry" Jessyka said sheepishly. Coal went down a bit so when Jessyka claimed out of the window she only needed to push herself off the landing, on to his back. A few moments later Coal landed next to the lake were Spike waited on a rock

Coal flow off again once Jessyka was off "So what's this about?"

"I wanted to ask you about you about Katte"

Jessyka smiled "What do you want you want to know"

Spike sighed, "Why.why am I attacked to her? I've never felt like this before.dead or alive"

Jessyka sat herself beside the rock and looked up at him "Maybe because she's part vampire and maybe your in love with her"

Spike stared at her opened mouth, shuttering to get something disagreeable out about both observation but Jessyka continued

"Centuries upon centuries a select few have been born with a power to change into something else. Three hundred years ago a school formed in Australia for these witch and wizards to help control their abilities, some permanently stayed as what the could turn into, some lost it, some can control it and turn into that thing when ever they want. The school is exactly like other wizardring schools except we start at the age of six and finish when we're twelve"

"We?" Spike asked lifting an eyebrow

Jessyka laughed "We. Yes, I can change into something as well"

"What?"

"Not telling"

"Well I don't believe I love her and I will prove it" Spike graved Jessyka by the shoulders and would have kissed her but a large green tail swung around and knocked Spike of the rock and into the lake

"Cool off" and she walked away
