Soulful

The post arrived on time in the great hall five days before Christmas, "Awe Great!" Ron said sarcastically, "Mum's making us jumpers again!"

"How'd you know?" Ginny turned from her conversation with Colin, "Mum send you designs to pick?" She giggled at her little joke.

"Well yea, actually," He held up the page, "The blue will match my eyes!" Suddenly thinking about what he said, he changed the subject.

"Hermione doing ok?" he asked Harry

"I think, she can't walk around to good at the moment, but the baby should be popping out any day now"

"What? It's only been like a month!" Ron said in astonishment.

"It's different, because you know, how is she gonna be able to fight the thingies if she is carrying a baby!"

"Good point" the bell rang, "Great, Defence against the dark arts"

"That Prof. Thomas is quite strict." Ginny said walking away, "but he's still not as bad as Snape"

Ron and Harry ran to the classroom, Prof Harris was standing by the door, counting down for ten, as soon as they ran in he slammed the door. "Great you could make it boys, I'll have Ron in one corner and Harry at the front"

"Yay" Harry muttered under his breath.

"Harry now, come on we're going to learn about some fascinating creatures today, pity Hermione isn't here really" A couple of Slytherin girls giggled "Be mature ladies." The became quite. "Thank you,"

He walked over to the curtains, and closed them all, making sure no light escaped into the room. He then made his way over to the supply cupboard.

"Please don't be alarmed by what is in here, it won't hurt you, I promise." Harry had flashbacks of Lockhart and the Pixies.

Prof. Thomas opened the door and a tallish man slowly walked out. He had a Muggle suit on and short hair. He had a small grin on his face and just stood looking at everybody. Half the girls were going weak at the mere sight of him all thinking, 'gosh he's cute'

Malfoy didn't like the attention he was getting from the Slytherin girls, "Oh right well scary Sir, who's this your boyfriend?"

"Malfoy watch your tongue" Prof Thomas didn't need to sound angry; he would always send shivers down your spine.

"This is Angel," he pointed to him; "Tell them about yourself Angel, and why you're here."

"Um, alright," He started; he put his hands in his pockets and rocked back and fourth. "As Prof. Thomas said, I'm Angel - "

"Girlie name ain't it? Angel?" Malfoy blurted out, crabbe and goyle sniggered either side of him.

"It's short for Angelus, anyway. I grew up in Ireland; I've travelled all over the world and finally settled down in California, I have a son, Connor, who unfortunately hates my guts. And oh yeah, I'm a Vampire"

Half the class were shocked and the other half giggled. Harry looked at Ron and could tell that he was scared.

"Wait a minute, we are supposed to believe that this guy is a Vampire?"

"Yes" They both said in union.

"You really are stupid" he turned to crabbe and goyle and smiled.

All of a sudden Angel flew across the room, "Who're you calling stupid? Nancy boy"

"Get your hands off me!" Malfoy's head was pushed to the table, "My father'll here about this!" He said whimpering, "He'll have you hanged!"

"To late numb nuts, I'm already dead!" He looked at Malfoy and he saw that his face had changed. It had become mutated and his canines had become long and sharp.

"Aahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Malfoy ran out of the class, Prof Thomas smiled and so did Angel "Obviously if you annoy him he will scare you"

Harry smiled at the thought of were malfoy was right now, the bathroom.

"Now Angel is a special vampire he has a soul. This means that he can feel guilt so doesn't like to kill humans. He helps them."

"That's right, I'm actually here to help the Slayer with a little bun she's got in the oven," The whole class gasped.

"That leads us on nicely to our next lesson, The Vampire Slayer"

Harry and Ron were Gob smacked. Prof. Thomas and his friend had just given away the fact that there was a slayer in the school.
