Vampire Half 3: A Snake's Pride

Author's Note: Vampire Half is back ALL RIGHT! Back here to continue with my trilogy (before HP 5 comes out) even though I never planned to make one. As you can remember, Voldemort was defeated in the last story, some Death Eaters still are alive and free, roaming the land. Here will be new characters, and there will be a surprise! Enjoy reading! (All characters belong to J.K. Rowling.)

Dumbledore stood up to make a speech. It was amazing that it was already September, and another year has come. It would be Harry's sixth year now. Last year has been definitely tiring, full of adventures, not to mention Voldemort's spy, Ron Weasley, who had been secretly working for the Dark Lord all these years. But, now Voldemort was dead, thanks to Severus, who is the true heir of Slytherin. But it can't be ignored that still some of Voldemort's followers are still roaming the countryside.

'As the Sorting has been finished,' announced Dumbledore,' we still have to sort two transfer students..from Durmstrang.'

A sudden commotion arose from the students in the Great Hall. Dumbldore held up his hand for silence.

'The two students will be only here temporarily, until the new Headmaster of Durmstrang is acquired. As most of Durmstrang students went to Beauxbatons temporarily, these two will be staying in Hogwarts.' Dumbledore straightened himself up,' let me introduce: Selena and Septimus Snape.'

The students hurriedly whispered amongst themselves, as the great doors opened, and two figures entered inside. One was a tall, thin boy, who really looked like a carbon copy of Severus Snape when he was young ( Harry remembered him from the Pensive) whose sharp, penetrating black eyes seemed to search for anyone who dared to cross his way. The thin girl, who was also tall, had also dark hair and pearly white skin, but her eyes were a lovely mysterious blue and her nose was normal, unlike her brother (whose nose was hooked).

They looked like they were twins, and both wore Hogwarts uniform, ready for Sorting. Dumbledore smiled at them.

'Kindly sit on that stool,' he motioned them with his hand,' Septimus, you go first.'

Septimus did as told and sat, tall and proud. McGonagall placed the Hat on his head. After a while the Hat finally came with an answer:

'SLYTHERIN!'

The Slytherin table cheered, as the new sorted student joined them. It was Selena's turn now.

'I think she'll be sorted into Ravenclaw, she looks pretty calm nxt to her brother,' whispered Hermione.

'Want to bet?' asked Harry quietly.

Selena also sat on the chair. McGonagall lowered the hat on her head, but once it was placed there, the hat already had it's decision.

'SLYTHERIN!' the Hat screamed.

The table decorated with emerald and silver once again erupted in cheers. Selena calmly joined their group, not seeming to hurry anywhere.

'What were you saying?' inquired Harry.

Hermione grumbled in her bad fortune telling, and looked at her plate.

'Another announcement is going to be made!' continued Dumbledore,' We had a new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, as we lost our last one in an unfortunate accident,' Snape snorted from the side,' but this year we have a new one. Give a nice applause for Professor Fleur Delacour!'

'Not her!' moaned Hermoine.

'Oh, I think she's not so bad!' said loudly Harry over the applause, as he was clapping too.

The food appeared on the plates, and everyone went to eat.

'And to think, Snape had kids!' commented Seamus Finningan.

'Seamus, maybe he is their uncle or something,' argued Parvati Patil.

'But who is their mother?' asked Harry looking at them, at the Slytherin table.

They seemed to catch his eye. Selena was the first one to look away, while Septimus was still looking at him, scowling. Harry finally broke the contact and looked at the plate.

Up at the Grand table, Severus glanced at Sibyl. She gave him a knowing nod, as if they had done the right thing.

The students went finally their way back to their common rooms. Selena and Septimus went with the other Slytherins.

'So, you belong to Professor Snape, is it?' asked Draco when they arrived.

Septimus nodded. They were the same age as Draco, 16.

'Well, I wish you a welcome.' Said coolly Draco.

Selena raised an eyebrow,' How kind.'

Draco looked at her. Who is her mother? Her eyes look familiar...

But before he knew it, the twins had already left for their dormitories.

Author's Note: Hmmmm..Snape had kids, eh? Did you really think that they will get sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or some other corny crap like that? I don't do such stories. Yes, the beginning is a bit weird, but will soon become clear, trust me. Please review!
