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).
Let it rain, let it rain,
Make the pain go away,
In my brain, let it rain, let it rain,
All this pain is a shame, make the pain go away,
In my brain all this pain is a shame.
('Let it Rain' sang by Nana.)
/////////////////
'Mother!' cried Septimus, falling to her side.
Rage rose in Severus, almost blinding him from sight. A green ball of fire began to form in his hand, growing quickly bigger, stronger and more vicious looking.
Severus raised his hand, and hurled the now roaring ball of fire towards the Death Eater crowd. The ex-Death Eaters screamed in pain, clutching their burning robes, where the fire licked with its sharp tongue. Crux seemed to keep his head, and wiped the fire from his robes with sending a spell to pour down water for quenching the fire.
Crux turned around and began to escape from the crowd. Severus immediately transformed into a panther, throwing aside the spear, and bounded after him.
It took only a few moments for Severus to catch up to Crux. With a strong leap, he knocked Crux on the ground, Severus growling above him. Severus sunk his sharp, white fangs into Crux's shoulder, just like he did to Wormtail.
Crux drew out his wand and was ready to shout a spell at Severus. But, someone made him stop.
'Expelliarmus!' yelled Septimus.
Even under Severus, Crux was bounded back into the wall, and he dropped his wand onto the floor.
'Accio wand!' ordered Septimus firmly.
Crux's wand flew straight into Septimus' open hand, and clenched his fingers around it, once the wand landed there. Crux shakily got up, and during the bounding back of the spell, his hood fell off revealing his face completely. All the ex-Death Eaters wore hoods, so you could see their faces, and yet don't know who they are.
Crux had a slim face, with a butting jaw, his eyes were a familiar blue colour while his hair was brown and short cropped. He had a tanned skin and his hair seemed to have gone gray with aging...or stress. But his eyes, such a familiar colour, dark blue, which someone had...
'You got rid of my wand,' sneered Crux, the expression marring his face,' but you haven't gotten rid of me.'
Crux, who also was a strong wizard as Severus, made a ball of blue color, and hurled it towards the father and son.
'Verra!' exclaimed Leonardo Moon from behind them, shooting a powerful jet of water from the tip of his wand.
Crux looked miserably at his hand, which was soaking wet. Severus, meanwhile, was looking hardly at Crux's feet. A thin sheet of ice formed around them. Crux turned to flee, but slipped on the ice, making him fall down.
Leonardo shot ropes at the end of his wand, which bound themselves around Crux's hands securely tying them up. Crux growled and fought against his bounds, but it was useless. He was defeated.
Severus turned around and walked towards the others Death Eaters. They were all bound, Moon had clearly taken care of them. But what Severus was really worried about was Sibyl, who was laying on the floor, unmoving. Ruby held her head in her lap, and stoked it. Ruby looked at Severus with hoping eyes.
Severus crouched next to her, and took Sibyl's hand. He pressed a finger against her vein. It was cold. Severus lowered his head, forcing himself not to cry. She cannot be dead!
Suddenly, as if a stroke of hope, there was a heart beat in the vein! It was weak, but there was still a spark of life in Sibyl. So Crux, didn't shoot an Avada Kedavra curse at her, but a horrible weakening spell.
Severus hugged Sibyl with relief. Above him he heard:
'Ahoy! Anybody there?' yelled a voice outside.
It was the Aurors! They had arrived to help.
********
Severus was back in Dumbledore's office, once Sibyl was put in the Hospital Wing. She is quickly healing now, Poppy had taken care of the curse. Along with Severus, in the office was Ruby, Leonardo Moon and Septimus.
'Well done, Severus,' congratulated Dumbledore warmly,' I'm sorry though that I hadn't sent the Aurors sooner.'
'I have received enough help from them,' Severus indicated to the three children, or young adults.
Ruby blushed, Leonardo squirmed, and Septimus looked calmly straight ahead, although he couldn't resist to give a small smile.
'I hope you knew that Crux, Lepus and the others weren't real names of the Death Eaters, only code names.' Added Dumbledore.
Ruby seemed uncomfortable, she seemed to want to ask Dumbledore a question, but was afraid to ask.
'What is it Ruby?' Dumbledore obviously read her mind.
'Who is Crux? Why does he hate my parents so much?' asked Ruby.
Dumbledore gave a sad smile,' Crux was your father's own older brother, Hulio Dockworm.'
Ruby gasped,' My uncle! My own true uncle who hates me?'
'He was so obsessed with Voldemort, that he even stopped caring for his family,' continued Dumbledore,' He was sorted in the same house as your father, into Ravenclaw. They both joined Voldemort. But when Voldemort wanted you as a sacrifice, your father and mother hid you in the Forbidden Forest. Voldemort killed them in the end for insubordination.'
Ruby averted her eyes downwards. Dumbeldore stood up and walked to the window.
'I'm sure that you'll be glad to hear that the flowers grew. They are ready for the potion to be made so we can heal the rest.' Said Dumbledore lightly, changing the subject.
Severus immediately stood up and left the room to make the potion. Septimus seemed to remember something.
'Oh, I forgot to give you the spear,' exclaimed Septimus, handing the Headmaster the spear back.
But Dumbledore shook his head.
'YOU are the last heirs of Slytherin. You take the spear, because I have no use for it. It is in the right master's hands, and will be the most secure there.' Answered Dumbledore.
******
Selena woke up, and rubbed her eyes.
'How are you feeling?' asked Septimus carefully.
'Much better,' smiled Selena.
'So the potion worked,' announced Sibyl, who was still recovering in her bed, but she would go back teaching tomorrow.
'You will be heading back to Durmstrang once this year ends, which is in one week. Durmstrang chose a new headmaster: Ivan Todorov. I'm sure he'll be a good headmaster,' said Severus.
'Oh,' said Selena, looking down, as if she was going to miss someone.
Septimus smirked,' Someone wants to talk to you.'
He stepped aside, revealing Leonardo Moon. Leonardo felt nervous, but Selena shone with delight. Severus led Septimus away from the couple.
'Let them have some privacy,' spoke Severus to his son.
Septimus looked up at his father, and together they left the room.
*******
Sibyl was ready to get out of the Hospital bed to leave for her teaching. Selena and Septimus were going to leave soon, and she didn't want to miss their departure.
Suddenly, a black owl flew into the empty infirmary, and dropped a white rose on her bed. Sibyl picked up the rose, white rose, her favorite flower, and noticed there was a message attached to it.
Sibyl read the message:
'Love may be broken, but once it becomes a bond, it is unbreakable. Good luck Sibyl.
Love Severus'
Sibyl gave one of her small rare smiles to turn the corners of her lips, and she put her head up. There was a warm twinkle in her eyes, which were fixed on the burning torch on the wall. The fire in the torch had somehow, just somehow, a touch of green in it. She was sure it had.
THE END
Author's Note: I have finished all the Vampire Half series! That's it! No more Vampire Half stories, this is the end. I'll miss writing it, but the fifth book will soon be printed, and I'm sure many will forget this story. It has the same ending, always with some torch on the wall fading into darkness. Selena and Septimus will return to Durmstrang, and of course, Leonardo and Selena will get married. Selena Moon has a ring to it( Selena was a Greek goddess of moon). I hope this story wasn't too harsh for PG-13, I can change it if you want to. For this last chapter to the last story, I ask people to please review!
