Baby Psycho-
The next chapter is on its way. I'm SOOO sorry it took so long to update, I was moving house. I don't own the Pottervesre, if I did, the story would have been very different.

A Death In The Family
- Of Vampires and Friends
^ ^ ^
No one had noticed Harry make his way into the common room, he had slipped in silently and gone straight to bed, briefly noting the absence of Ron. He couldn't sleep, nor did he want to. Instead he lay in the dark thinking about his day, his life and hovering near the edge, Draco.
He knew that he was only a tool in the scheme of things, but that was all right, he was used to being manipulated. Dumbledore had done it, so had the Dursely's although it was more like being a slave than a tool.
Satisfied with his limited knowledge of the future, Harry rolled over and drifted off into an uneasy slumber. No matter what he did, the end would come. Whether it came from Voldemort or old age, well that was yet to be decided.

The sun struggled its way through the darkness of night, shining blearily on the land below. The birds were chirping and the hum of life filled Hogwarts. This was exactly the type of morning that Severus Snape hated, it wasn't because the light made him look ten times worse, but because, to him it was almost if someone was smiling as they kicked you in the ribs.
It was a Saturday, which meant he didn't have classes to teach or feasts to govern. This suited him perfectly as he had errands to run and meetings to attend. By aligning with Lucius and Draco he had totally fallen out of Voldemort's trust, this meant he was free game to Death Eaters who needed to get in the graces of their lord.
Stalking out of the castle and into the waiting sun, he frowned, chances were that he wouldn't be getting out of this day without some difficulties. But he wasn't too worried, it looked like there was a chance of rain.
^ ^ ^
Severus had left by the time Draco had made it to the hall. Glancing at the empty chair he rang the bell and waited for the elf to bring his order. He preferred to eat in solitude, usually this meant eating at an ungodly hour, but today there was someone else, and out of the whole school it just had to be Granger.
She was sitting on the other side of the hall giving him dirty looks out of the corner of her eye. By now Draco had completely forgotten about their encounter, but he still wasn't going to bother asking what he had done. Instead he finished his meal and retreated to the library, ignoring her completely.
Hermoine glared at him as he walked off. She was upset, but that had given way to her anger and she was now bubbling with hatred all directed towards Malfoy. The fact that he had humiliated her yesterday, then totally ignored her today was confusing, but more enraging than ever.
Malfoy had mostly ignored her since the end of 4th year, she thought this was because of the way they had beaten him on the train. They had goaded him at first, but he had just spent time in the library reading, or out on the quidditch field practising.
The fact that he had beaten her marks last year and won the quidditch cup didn't lessen her anger. Hermoine was plotting revenge, Ron had agreed to help her she knew he would, he hated Malfoy a lot more than she did.
^ ^ ^
The library was almost deserted, only the most dedicated Ravenclaw's were seated at the round tables. Draco always preferred to lose himself in the vast bookcases, it was easier to relax that way. When he was sure he was alone he opened the letter from his father. It was fairly cryptic, but he could still read it.
Draco
Things are tying themselves and all strings are cut. Trouble brewing with potions, ask Severus for assistance. The weather is quite pleasant, you will enjoy spending time swimming in the lake. Don't stay out late and take care, wouldn't want the vampires to get you.
Lucius
The message was really saying that the business about Narcissa was dealt with, but there was going to be trouble for Severus and he needed to look for him today. The weather part referred to the manor, and how he would be leaving school before the holidays. The last sentence was a warning, apparently someone was out to get him. The vampire part was just that, a warning about vampires, his father was really quite strange sometimes.
^ ^ ^
Night had fallen by the time Severus returned. Draco had stayed up waiting, and was on his way to get food when he spotted to familiar outline of his professor. Snape was limping, and there was blood trickling down his arm.
Quietly, not wanting to attract attention, Draco guided Snape to the potion room chambers. The wounds weren't too bad, Draco was sure that whoever had inflicted them had received a lot worse. He perched himself on the end of a sofa as Severus cleaned the wounds with magic.
Draco didn't ask and Severus didn't tell, that's the way it was with these things. After taking a dose of a suspicious looking potion, Severus gave a nod and a smile to Draco. Taking his cue Draco stood up and walked out of the room and disappeared in the general direction of the Slytherin common room.
Like Harry the night before, Draco slipped into his room before anyone had even noticed that he had entered. Slipping beneath the sheets of his bed, Draco allowed himself to smile, it wasn't about anything in particular, sometimes life was just good.
^ ^ ^
Lucius had seen what had happened to Severus, he hoped that Draco had received his message in time. Severus was an old friend, it would be bad if he bled to death in his rooms. Not only would he need a new plan, but he might have to find a new friend.

Hope you liked the chapter, there's only about four more to go. This is longer than I expected, this story was supposed to only be one chapter long 0_o. Thanks for reading
