"It's Spike. He has been attacking everyone!" Harry was getting excited in the mid-morning sun.
"You have gone mad, Harry." Ron stated.
"Spike! how could it be him, pray tell?" Dawn asked getting haughtily.
"All signs point to him." Harry said.
"Dawn's right. I am pretty sure all you have is, he is a vampire and you saw him go to the teachers dormitories." Hermione said.
Harry stared at them.
"Harry, he has a soul, hasn't attacked anyone since The First took possessed him, and it would say Spike... uh William, not 'S. Vamp.'" Dawn explained trying to convince him.
Ron sighed, "I think Dumbledore's words are spooking you a bit."
Harry continued to stare at his friends, "You are saying I am over reacting aren't you?"
"Yes. For once we think you have lost your mind." Ron said.
Harry rolled his eyes, "Then pray tell, who do you think it is?"
"Uh, well maybe there is a hell mouth under the school and Vamps. pop out once in awhile and attack people." Dawn said.
"A Hell mouth?" Hermione asked.
"Uh it's similar to hot spots but they are portals to hell... It's where most evil demons come from, or where evil power is found." she explained. "There is a lot in America."
"Oh." they all said.
Ginny ran down the stairs, "Oh, good morning." she smiled at Harry. "What are you guys doing up so early?"
"Uh, we couldn't really sleep. Quite a coincidence." Harry said.
"Uh huh, well I was just getting something. I am going to study for McGonagall's quiz, see you." she grabbed a text and ran back up the stairs.
"You know --" Harry was interrupted by a squeak, Earendil flew in and landed on him. "I think it's too late to talk about this."
"Hey," someone poked their head out. "Did Earendil just come in?" Steph asked.
The bat flew off into the room. Neville and a few other Gryffindor's came down, waiting until they could go to breakfast.
"Yeah, I agree." Hermione said and walked up to change into the days clothes, Dawn followed.

They all were ushered to their next class with Slytherins; potions, the worst class of all time. The students walked in, most gaped in shock. There stood Malfoy again, when they just saw Snape drag Potter off somewhere. Once again there was a clatter of books and Stephanie was picking them up again, Draco attempted to help but a book was flung at his face.
Malfoy, (ahem...Professor Malfoy) looked around the dungeon as everyone sat down. His eyes wandered to Draco, Harry, Ron, Dawn and Steph. Draco was the only one smiling (smirking).
"Get the potions you worked on yesterday." he said sharply. "And if you did work with a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw yesterday, tough luck. Your grade will be lowered."
Six students moaned, and sat down with nothing. The students added the last ingredients.
"Alright now I want you to try it on yourself. This is a common potion used instead of the Crutis spell."
The students eyes went huge. He smirked at this.
"If you do not follow exact directions, you may be endanger. Now LISTEN UP!" He looked around. "If we did do it to an animal, it would ahem, Die. Now me personally, I don't want dead creatures around the dungeon. So if you take out the half teaspoon measurement.... this amount will not harm you but will make you a bit uncomfortable."
Students looked around and started to whisper, "Silence!" he shouted. Draco was more surprised then anyone, he knew his father was cruel to many but for Merlin's sake, he would try this on mere students!
"Alright pick the person and measure carefully. I have the counter potion if it gets out of hand."
Harry looked at the pale Ron, "He is officially crazy!" he whispered.
Steph looked at Dawn with disbelief, both girls were paling at the thought. "The person who did not drink it will tell Dumbledore and Snape, ok?" she said, feeling herself shake.
Dawn nodded, swallowing the spit that wasn't there. Steph nodded with her, taking the measuring spoon. The other students did that as well. Hermione wasn't the one who took it, it was her partner Lavender. Harry was the brave one and took it, so did Steph, even though Dawn was afraid for her. Soon the room was in a small panic, two students fainted, and the rest just sat there trying to breath. Dawn and Ron stared at their partner as their faces turned a light shade of blue, and they glistened with persperation. Dawn held her breath with Stephanie and counted the minutes, in panic. "Professor" Malfoy looked at the small coevality, and counted their painful seconds. Dawn counted to 20, before she saw the regular colour coming back to her face. She heard a sigh from Hermione and Ron, Harry and Lavender must have calmed down. Heavy breathing filled the quiet room.
Steph was taking deep breaths, "ahh..." she said. "That. Was. Horrible."
Dawn hugged her, she looks at the others, "You guys okay?" they nodded and a small smile came to her face.
"Alright I would like a detailed report on what had happened, both partners must have a scroll written up on this by tomorrow." he said. "Class dismissed."
Everyone was in sheer fright, as they walked to their next class. Steph grabbed, Dawn and she grabbed Harry and Ron, and he grabbed Hermione. They were towed by the fellow Gryffindor, to Dumbledore's office. They heard Draco's name, probably to talk to is father about something. At Dumbledore's door way Harry tried to catch his breath, but mumbled "izzy aches"
"Fuzzy Peaches." Hermione translated, and the stair case appeared. They ran up it, now understanding why they were going this way. Opening the door, they saw Dumbledore and Snape talking.
"Children... what's wrong?" Dumbledore asked, in a surprized voice.
Snape turned around and his eye whites were shown.
"It's Malfoy." Dawn said in anger.
"Professor Malfoy." Hermione corrected her.
"He has gone over board!" Ron said.
"He made us use something similar to the Crutis spell on ourselves." Dawn said almost shouting. Steph and Harry were nodding away at the things said, not being able to speak.
"Pardon?" he asked a bit confused.
"You!" Snape almost yelled, seemingly oblivious at what is going on.
"What?!" all who could speak asked.
His knuckles were turning white from hanging onto his chair. "Its her, she did it." he said now shouting.
"Severus calm down. Who?"
"Stephanie." he said clearly freaked out. "I know it is her."

A/n: cliffhanger? more or less. I'll get the next chapter up soon.
