Vampire Half 3: A Snake's Pride
Author's Note: Vampire Half is back ALL RIGHT! (Put Backstreet's back music from Backstreet Boys) 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, except Selena, Septimus, Dr. Hunder and Mata Shani).
You left the fire in my eyes,
That lightens up the darkest skies,
I'm giving up, I'm letting go,
I'll find my way so:
Take me back, to my sweet La Vida, Find my love, my Dolce Vita,
Show me where, I need to go,
Find my love, Mi Chico Latino.
('Mi Chico Latino' sang by Geri Halliwell)

Severus rummaged through his drawers in his office in his dungeons, and finally, after a long search, he came upon what he was looking for. He pulled out a small, antique-looking box, made of Cherry Wood, decorated with little snakes, patterning it all over.
He took a deep breath, and opened the box. Severus slid his hand inside, and took out a handful of grain small seeds, which glowed mysteriously, as if giving out their own power. They were pearly white color, and gave out a silvery, moon-like shine. Those seeds were precious, and he had to use them only in most important cases.
They were the seeds of the Flower of Moon.
The Flowers of Moon didn't seem that they will bloom this spring, and the lives of the children were at stake. Severus put back the handful into the box.
Suddenly, he felt strangely thirsty. A glass goblet stood on his desk, filled with water, waiting for him. Severus found this strange, but nevertheless drank from it. It tasted normal. He almost placed the cup down, when the same terrible headache struck him like a few months ago.
Severus groaned and dropped the cup, where it shattered into a thousand pieces on the stone floor. Severus began seeing red, his sight slipping in and out of view.
He dragged himself to the jar or those tiny metallic pills, uncorked it, and took a pill. The headache slowly throbbed away, but a stomachache immediately sprang up.
Severus' eyes rolled up towards the ceiling, while his left hand clutched his stomach. He mustn't waste anymore time.
Severus strode out of his office, and went towards the Greenhouses outside.

'You want me to plant Flower of Moon seeds?!' gasped Sprout.
'Yes.' Answered Severus, his eyes boring into hers.
Sprout took a deep breath, 'Severus, this will take a lot of work for me, they are extremely precious..'
Severus grabbed her hand, and shoved the box into it.
'Julia, you must do it. The lives of the children are at stake. Who knows if the seeds will bloom this Spring. There will be very few of them if they do. I trust you can take care of them well,' Said Severus urgently.
Sprout's lips hardened into a thin line, as if she was determined to do it. Her chubby fingers clasped around the box. She had never taken of care of these seeds by herself, only with assistance at University. It was worth a shot.
Severus nodded. His raven robes swirled around him as he left the greenhouse.
Suddenly, another Slytherin ran up to him. It was Zabini Blaise. Her black hair, streaked with gold was bunched up into an uneasy ponytail, and she looked panicky. Severus rushed up to her, knowing immediately something was wrong.
'Miss Blaise, what is it, girl?' he asked.
'Professor!' she burst out,' It's Draco..he's sick!'
Not Draco! Severus was afraid for him, after all Draco was his Godson. Severus followed Blaise to the Slytherin common rooms, and up to the Boy's Dorms.
Draco was in his four poster Slytherin bed, bluish in face, with white spots around his neck...exactly the same symptoms as Selena had when she was sick.
Draco was mumbling in his sleep, another thing the victim does during the disease. Little droplets of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Severus slumped on the bed next to him. Draco must be delivered to the Hospital Wing, fast. But what was carrying the disease around the Common rooms?
A mosquito buzzed next to Severus, and he swatted it away. The mosquito flew to a corner on the ceiling and settled there. Severus watched the mosquito, and, amazingly, comprehension dawned on him. As his pupils reduced to angry slits, he found out what spreaded the disease.
The Slytherins saw that their Head of the House's eyes turned into a yellowish green color, and that fangs seemed to grow from underneath his upper lip. His breathing turned into that of a snake's hissing, and his fist, which had grown powerful claws clenched up in a fist.
He stood up, facing the mosquito. When his fist unfurled, it held a green ball of flame. Quick as a flash, he hurled the ball of flame with such a fast fury, that the mosquito didn't even had the chance to fly off.
It was sizzled on the spot, reduced into powder. The ceiling behind it was scorched badly. The Slytherins in fear stepped back from the Potions Master, as he Levitated Draco, and together left the Common room.
When they arrived at the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomphrey gasped in horror at the sight of Draco, and immediately took him down into a bed. Severus just stood there, still as a statue in one place.
Madam Pomphrey turned toward Severus.
'What's wrong?' she asked.
'I know what spreads the disease.' He said through gritted teeth.
'What?' asked Poppy.
'Mosquitoes.' Hissed Severus.
Author's Note: Mosquitoes? Kind of like Malaria... Now, why won't you people review? I'm feeling left out here! I'm also running out of ideas! Darn it! Come on, PLEASE REVIEW!
