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).
Once I called you brother,
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh, was all I ever wanted.
And now I wish that God has chose another, serving as your foe.
This was my home! This pain and devastation,
From all those who suffer from your stubbornness and pride!
..
Let my people go!
That says the Lord!
('The plague' or 'Let my people go' sang by Moses from cartoon 'Price of Egypt'. Severus is like Moses, who wants the disease to leave his Slytherins alone, and yet he is also like Ramses, who stubbornly doesn't want to lose his Slytherins by dying from the disease.)

Dorado Dockworm went into his small dirty kitchen, opened the cupboard, and took out a glass. He took from the side an open bottle of wine, and poured himself a drink.
That Severus Snape...he was the son of Claudius Snape and Medusa. Medusa...last time he 'saw' her was when she had graduated from the University. Severus didn't know that Dorado himself practically fancied that witch during her schooling, even though he was her professor.
He tried to imagine how Severus Snape looked. Probably like his father, with those olive green eyes..no, even if he couldn't see, he could feel Severus' eyes penetrating him. Only Medusa had such eyes. Then he probably had those coal black eyes.
Medusa had a talent for potions, a talent that was BORN into her through generations of her family. He wasn't surprised that her offspring had that talent too.
Suddenly, he heard a rustle behind him. Dorado growled. Must be those rats again. But no, it was HUMAN footsteps.
'Who was it?' asked Dorado, panic slowly creeping into his voice, his eyes rolling from one side to the other, as if he wanted to see the person.
'Ah, Dorado Dockworm, what a pleasure to see you again,' said a familiar voice.
'Crux!' Dorado recognized the voice,' I haven't heard from you in a long time.'
'You haven't left Voldemort's side?' asked Crux.
'Voldemort's dead!' snorted Dorado, 'I was a Ravenclaw at school. I shouldn't care about him! Besides, I'm already dead..'
'Really?' Crux's voice seemed to sneer,' You haven't given up your hobby of breeding diseases, have you?'
Dorado didn't answer immediately. Something was wrong, he knew it.
'I haven't, and never will give up...until I pass away,' said softly Dorado.
'Really?' Crux's voice was a parody of surprise,' Well, I don't think you will have to wait anymore for your end.'
Dorado frowned and tried to understand the trick of words.
'Let me put it for you easily,' coolly said Crux,' I have slipped your favorite disease, White Orinus in your drink. This is the White Orinus which is genetically changed, so in a matter of seconds will kill you. And it's supposed to react...well, now.'
A certain coldness, ran into Dockworm's veins. He began to feel weak, physically and magically. He slid on the floor, and grabbed his throat, as if he was choking. Crux just stood in his place, laughing cruelly.
'Imagine the irony!' he laughed,' Dorado Dockworm, blinded by his favorite disease, the same disease which had years later carried his own life away!'
Dockworm stopped twitching on the floor. His blind eyes looked even more blank. He was dead. With a swish of cloak, Crux left the room.

Severus took out a ring from his robes. On the ring was the seal of the Snape coat-of-arms. The Snapes carried this ring down from one family generation to the other, which the oldest son, the heir, bore on his hand. Severus, on the contrary, kept it hidden in his robes.
The seal design was lovely. It was a black background. There was a silvery- white young, crescent moon on the top, with a small green snake twirled around the moon, like a vine creeping on a curved stick.
'Severus,' he heard Sibyl's voice behind him,' Where have you been?'
Severus turned around, his coal eyes meeting those grayish-blue eyes of the Divination teacher.
'I have been to a retired Potions Masters' cottage, by the name of Dorado Dockworm,' he spoke, as Sibyl's eyes grew wide,' He breeds quite deadly disease for a hobby, and is the reason why White Orinus is stalking Hogwarts.'
'Yes..but, I can't believe why this happened to him,' Sibyl shook her head sadly.
Severus' head shot up.
'What do you mean?' he asked sharply.
'Severus, didn't you read the Daily Prophet this morning?' Sibyl asked incredulously, as Severus shook his head,' Dorado Dockworm has been murdered.'
Severus did a double-take, when Sibyl quickly added,' He was poisoned by one of his own diseases, his favorite disease in fact, White Orinus.'
Severus began to murmur to himself,' Yes, if somebody on PURPOSE slipped him into his drink the disease, and if the disease is mixed with a catalyst which will hurry the process up, yes he could die.'
Severus turned to Sibyl,' Did you know that he knew my mother at University of Potions? He was her professor there. My mother and father had years ago asked for this disease from Dockworm, so they give it to Voldemort, who will keep it for emergencies.'
Severus sighed.
'Why did your mother die?' suddenly asked Sibyl.
Severus gave a bitterful smirk, ' Voldemort in those times needed total obedience and worship from his Death Eaters. This had included sacrifices.
'He thought my father hadn't enough worship for him. My father tried to defend himself, and the only thing to prove it was to sacrifice my mother. My father took me to the ceremony, to show me what happens to disobedient Death Eaters, and what you have to do to show that you worship Voldemort.
'My mother was sacrificed at this ritual. But the strange thing was, that she was a WILLING sacrifice. She also wanted to show how she admired her master. But, me instead of being amazed, I was disgusted. But I followed my father's footsteps and became a Death Eater, because in those times, it was thought by the Slytherins that Voldemort was a fighter for justice for the House of Slytherin, that he will get rid of the misery which prejustice the Slytherins as evil. That is why we blamed Muggle borns.
'But the main thing was that Slytherins, along was I, were fanatic in those times, which shows that even though they may be "evil", they are faithful followers of their master, that they have their honor and pride.'
Sibyl stared at him. She didn't hate Slytherins, but Severus' talk made her believe that Slytherins weren't those whom everyone had thought them to be.
Severus left the room. He suddenly felt the familiar headache throbbing in his head. Time to take the pill.
