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!

'Are you getting along with your fellow Slytherins?' asked Severus Snape.
'Yes, father.' Answered back Septimus.
'Where is your sister?'
'Selena is sleeping. She doesn't know I had come here.'
Severus dipped his green quill into black ink, and began marking fourth year Potions homework.
' Good, tell her tomorrow that she shouldn't mix up a lot with other Houses' business, that she should just pay attention to the Slytherins. We will need all the help we can get, because Voldemort's remaining followers aren't Slytherins, so you know how other Houses judge us,' said Snape, not looking up,' you'd better leave and head back to your dormitory.'
Septimus was just about to leave the dungeons, when a person entered the room. It was Sibyl Trelawney. Septimus looked up at her, but not in a way as most students would: a mad fortuneteller. No, he looked at her with a sort of...respect.
'Septimus.' She concluded.
'Mother.' Shortly answered Septimus.
Sibyl turned her attention to Severus Snape, who was looking back at her. Without a word, Septimus left the room, leaving the couple behind.
'We can't hide forever that I'm married to you Severus.' Sighed Sibyl, taking a seat on a nearby chair.
'Well, we can't have two Professor Snapes here in Hogwarts,' curtly answered Snape, turning his attention back to the marking.
'Oh, come on Severus!' frustratedly said Sibyl, ' We have been ignoring our feelings for each other for years, hoping that it will improve our stance. But ever since we have found out that you are the real heir of Slytherin, we have been shyly flirting back and forth as if we just noticed each other.'
Severus dropped his quill and looked hardly into her eyes.
'You still have the ring?' he asked.
'My wedding ring is in my pocket,' she said, taking it out,' and here is the engagement ring,' she indicated to one of the many rings that she had on her fingers.
One ring among them was unique. It was a lovely silver one, with a small snake entwining it, encrusted with small emeralds. This ring was certainly well cared for.
Severus raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect Sibyl to even wear their engagement ring, let alone carry the wedding one with her in her pocket.
'You really do care much about this,' he said quietly.
Sibyl nodded, looking down.
Severus took a deep breath. He picked up a small goblet, and drank from it. Plain water, that was in the cup. He put the goblet down, but almost once it touched the desk, a terrible headache struck Severus. He buried his head into his hands. Sibyl noticed this and immediately became concerned.
'Severus?' she asked cautiously.
'Nothing, nothing. Just a headache.' Waved it off Severus.
He got up and walked towards his potions cabinet. Severus pulled out a headache potion and drank some of it. Sibyl constantly watched him. Severus put the bottle back to its place, but his throbbing headache didn't subside.
Severus noticed a bottle which had a red liquid in it. Without thinking, he grabbed it and uncorked the bottle. Severus placed it against his lips, and drank. It was so cool, calm, flowing easily down his throat...and it was familiarly salty.
He immediately put the bottle down, and looked at Sibyl.
The Divinations professor was shaking and was staring with fear in her eyes at him. Severus realized what he had just drunk.
'D-dragons blood,' shakily said Sibyl,' you just drank it.'
Severus dropped the bottle, and it shattered onto the stone floor. He didn't move.
'Go. Leave.' Whispered Severus.
Sibyl listened obediently and reluctantly left the room. Severus collapsed in his chair, and breathed heavily. Once gain, he put his head into his hands. The headache had gone.
Author's Note: What is wrong with Severus? It is happening again! Bet you didn't know that Sibyl was the twin's mother! Selena was the Greek Goddess of the Moon, while there was a Roman emperor called Severus Septimus. Just a small explanation on the names. Please review!
