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.)

Severus knocked on the red cedar door.
'Come in.' said male voice from the other side.
If there was one person who could help him, it was Dr. Cephus Hunder. He was the only person who knew about Severus' problem, aside from Severus' family. Dr. Hunder was the Snape and Malfoy family doctor.
Severus entered the small room, and sitting in the dark wine color armchair was a small, plump, aging wizard: Dr. Hunder. His light brown hair was now almost gray, which seemed to match the color of his also gray eyes which peered at Severus behind oval rimmed glasses. It was no wonder that he looked so old: he was about 100 years old, taking care of the pureblood wizard families from one generation to the next.
'Ah, Severus, long time no see!' cheerfully exclaimed the old doctor,' how are you, boy?'
Since Hunder knew Severus since he was born, he never stopped calling him 'boy'.
'Not so well, Doctor.' Answered Severus, frowning.
The doctor immediately became serious.
'What is wrong?' he asked curiously.
'The problems are returning.' Answered Severus shortly.
Now it the doctor's turn to frown. The doctor seemed to understand this tiny bit of information.
' I thought it had been taken care of since you were eleven.' He said.
'Apparently, they seem to be attacking me..again.' Stated Severus.
The Doctor sucked in his breath, and held it for some time. Finally, he spoke.
'Have you been taking the potion?' inquired the doctor.
'I have been taking from today the pills which were invented five years ago,' said Severus,' I make them myself.'
'Good, good, the pills are supposed to be more concentrated and stronger...' mumbled the doctor, thinking deeply.
There was a pregnant pause.
'Dr. Hunder, how is it they have returned?' asked Severus, breaking the silence.
'When I was still studying wizard medicine in my homeland, in Germany,' sighed Hunder,' I have heard that after taking the pills, the wizard may become normal again. But, if the person is under great stress, or feeling that something bad is going to happen, IT returns.'
Severus thought about it, but Hunder broke his thoughts.
'Has something been troubling you, boy?' asked Hunder, looking pointedly at Severus behind his glasses,' Teaching is a stressful job, so that may be the cause..but is there something else?'
Severus thought about it. There were many things: teaching, the remaining Death Eaters coming to Hogwarts, his past..
'Nothing Dr. Hunder.' Answered Severus back plainly,' I guess teaching is the cause.'
'Good. Oh well, then you have nothing to worry about,' said Hunder, with more note in his voice,' keep taking the pills everyday for another few months, and then come to me, so we will see. You know the rules Severus, NEVER miss one day of taking pills. You know what may happen.'
Severus nodded. He knew, and it almost resulted in terrible consequences.
Severus thanked the doctor, got up, and left the room, and went out of the doctor's little cottage in the countryside. He better be heading back to Hogwarts, the others may be wondering where he had got to.

'Where have you been, Severus?' asked Sibyl, hands on her hips.
'Did the crystal ball tell you? After all, you are the Divinations professor here,' answered Severus, not looking at her.
'I DID look at the crystal ball, and the only thing it could tell me was that you went to visit an old friend of the family, for some problem of yours.' Sibyl frowned. 'The man's Divination wards are too strong.'
'So you do know where I was, and yes, he always puts up spell wards from ordinary hexes to strong Telepathy.' Coolly Severus answered.
Sibyl looked at Severus in the eyes.
'Something is wrong..why don't you tell me?' she whispered.
'You will know...when the time comes. Can't you look into my mind and find the problem?'
'Severus, you know very well, that not even the strongest Divinationist or Seer could see into a human mind, only a Necromancer can.' Bit back Sibyl.
Severus sighed. He better come back in good terms with her, or this could get pretty nasty.
'Alright, I'd better go back and teach my class,' Said hurriedly Severus, as if he didn't want to speak to her.
Before he went out, Sibyl stopped him.
'If you have a problem..tell me.' She said.
Severus nodded and went out. He stormed down the hallway, his black robes billowing behind him. Not now Sibyl, he thought, not now..
Author's Note: Dr. Hunder is supposed to be a German, as you can see. And he also belongs to my imagination. I have a feeling that Snape is OOC, so I'll try to make him more nasty, and Sibyl more dreamy. Please review!
