Everything started to slow down, as the Exams were in sight. Homework piled up and quizzes were being pulled out of nowhere, for every class. Still Snape had not come back to his class or waken up for that matter. Students could tell the teachers were worried through the frenzy of exam time.
The Gryffindor fifth year class was in defense against the dark arts, when Spike and Willow were called from their class.
"Alright. uh... Dean, read page three hundred eighty-four. Please switch for each paragraph. Hermione, make sure this is done, it's on the exam." Willow ran out to catch up to Spike.
Hermione looked around, and Dean started to read.
"What do you think that was about?" Ron asked Harry.
"I don't know.. Maybe they found something on Snape." he guessed.
*
"Willow..." Dumbledore started. "You two are fast."
"Oh, hee hee. So what's going on?" she asked looking around.
"Severus is up, sorta. Your thoughts were correct, it's a vampire."
"Oh." Spike and Will said together.
"Is he alright?" she asked.
"I am pretty sure, a bit spooked.. and seems to be quite out of it."
Willow went over to the potions teacher, and looked him over. "Is he sedated?"
"Well you try to calm down a raving forty year old with out using it." Madame Promfrey said putting some bottles away.
"What do you mean out of it, anyway?"
"Well, when he woke up he was ranting and raving about an attack. I sedated him immediately and told the headmaster, then he told you, and well now we are waiting until he wakes up again." Promfrey said.
Willow took something out of a pouch from the side of her robe. Put it above his nose, "Wake up!" she yelled. He fell out of bed (muhahaha, one of Snape's bad moments.)
He got up and showed he really wasn't quite there. "Please, tell me I am ok."
"You are ok." they said together.
"Now not to over load you but, what happened?" Willow asked.
Everyone listened carefully. He looked around, "I was attacked." he said plainly.
"Was it a vampire?" Spike asked.
"I suppose...I am pretty sure."
"Have you even seen a vamp, Severus?" Willow asked.
"Yes, but not one of this sort."
"What did it look like?" Albus said.
He sat there for a moment, thinking of a description. "Short hair, not very tall, " 'Like a student...' "and I am assuming red eyes."
'Voldermort...' Albus thought.
"Short?" Willow asked.
"Yes."
'Thank god, it's not Spike.' Willow thought in relief. 'Well it ain't me, thank the gods.' Spike sighed.
"Funny thing, I heard spell being said, before I drove it out, and it sounded like a girl." Snape said getting up and started to pace.
"A Student?!" they cried out.

Harry and the others were quizzing each other at lunch hour, making sure they knew the quiz for Transfiguration. Dawn was changing her food into different inanimate objects.
Hermione was explaining how this works to Steph. Ron and Harry were complaining about why Mr Malfoy would be here.
Just then the doors flung open, and Snape was in front of them, marching quickly to the Gryffindor table. "Mr. Potter I'd like a word with you." he looked down at the boy. Harry got up, Snape took a quick look around at the other students, his calm look faltered a bit and his complexion paled more then usual.
"Glad to see you are feeling better, Professor." Harry said trying to lighten up his nerves.
"Please be quiet, Potter." Snape sighed. "This concerns you, so be silent until we reach the headmaster's room."
'Me? This is odd. Usually I find out on my own.' Harry thought. He walked silently with Snape until they got to Dumbledore's room.
"Fuzzy Peaches." Snape commanded and a stairway appeared.
Dumbledore was sitting at his desk with Willow by his side.
"Harry you may sit down." he sat.
"Now Harry, I know it's getting to the end of the year and you are getting very chipper, for the exams and going back home..." Willow said. A smile was creeping on Harry's face, he was trying desperately to hold it in. "And *cough* you-know-who has not appeared. But we are not too sure if that's true or not."
Harry looked quizzically around. "We have evidence, that dark magic (magick...) has been going around the school, lately. We're telling you this so that you will keep your eyes and ears open." 'uh huh, and are you saying I draw black magick to myself?' he asked himself, his smile broadened.
"Is there something funny about this, Potter?" Snape said coldly.
"No, sir."
"Potter, just to make ourselves clear, the 'Dehydration cases' are loss of blood cases. From a Vampire." he said sharply. Dumbledore looked at Snape sadly.
Harry's smile faded a bit, and his eyes grew wide. 'Is that what happened to Snape? And I know who it could be.' he felt himself wince.
"Oh. Thank-you for telling me this. I'll keep everything sharp." he nodded and got up. "uh Professors, have you uh *cough* ever thought of Spike?."
"Yes. But we have evidence it's.." Willow faltered. "someone else."
Harry left the room with a blank face. Confused but had some clues on what is happening, he went to catch up with his friends.
