The nights events weighed
heavily on Vlad's shoulders. The appearance of Voldemort was
something he hadn't counted on until later in the year. But he was
glad that the dementor's wouldn't side with him again. They were
afraid of angering their Master. Vlad smiled at the expression on
Voldemorts face as the dementor's left him. Sitting in class he
waited for the 5th years to come in. He had Slytherin and
Gryffindor's this time. He knew this would an interesting class.
"But Hermione he wouldn't hurt anyone." Vlad heard the distinct voice of one Ronald Weasley.
"Ron I just don't know, Vlad Tepes Alucard was an evil man he killed for fun." Snapped Hermione Granger.
"But this isn't him, it Vlad Tepes Alucard II he isn't his father."
"That may be so but he still is a vampire and I don't trust vampires." They were quiet for a bit then Hermione spoke again. "I wish Harry was here." She said sadly.
"So do I, so do I." Vlad watched them as they took seats in the back of the class. Soon the classroom filled with students and it was time to start the lesson.
"Welcome to DADA, I will be your instructor this year and possibly the rest of your time here at Hogwarts. A few basic rules before we start." Vlad paused and looked at Draco. "One you will respect each other while in this class room. Two there will be no name calling or berating of another person period. Three, relax, and enjoy your self." Vlad smiled to himself as watched to students take in that bit of information. "Now as I can determine from Professor Dumbledore's notes You have had really only one DADA Professor that was any good. And I am happy to say he and I are very good friends." Vlad was interrupted by a hand raised from a student. "Yes Mr. Malfoy?"
"Professor Lupin is a werewolf, and he nearly killed a student when he was here." Vlad's eyes darkened. "I see Mr. Malfoy, were you the one attacked? No, were you there to see the incident? No, well then how do you know for certain that was in fact what happened?"
"I...I don't know sir." Malfoy spoke flatly.
"Well then, I want you to know that being disrespectful of a past Professor is not on my good list, So 5 points from Slytherin, and next time make sure you have your facts correct before you go spreading things you have no idea about. Now as I was saying, you have covered several area's in DADA, You are surprisingly nearly at the correct level for your year. So today we'll start on a dark creature. Can any one tell me what makes Vampire's a Dark Creature?" Several hands went up. Looking over at the Gryffindor side Vlad decided on calling on.. "Ms. Granger"
"Well sir Vampire's are considered dark creatures as they tend to be drawn to dark magic and deeds."
"Very good 5 points Ms. Granger. As Ms. Granger has said Vampires are naturally dark creatures as they do use dark magic and sorry to say kill both animals and humans." Vlad was once again interrupted by Malfoy.
"So you are a dark creature just like Lupin." He sneered.
"Yes Mr. Malfoy I am a vampire, as well as a dark creature, but just because one is classified under that title doesn't mean that they are dark. For example Professor Lupin is a dark creature not by choice but by accident, He doesn't associate with Voldemort or his death eaters, but people fear him. Most vampires are the same way, they are not dark creatures by choice but by accident. Vampire's can't sire children like most other humans and dark creatures. For a vampire to be what he or she is they are bitten by another vampire, once drained of their life blood the one who has bitten the victim has a choice either to let the victim die from blood lose or turn them." Watching the class Vlad saw many face's turn an ashen color. "Do not fear I will not harm any here. Now let's continue, does anyone know any Vampire Wizard?" No one spoke up or raised their hands. Slowly Hermione raised hers.
"There isn't one documented as Vampires usually never go after wizards. Vampire's mostly fear wizards and witches as they can be killed easier by a wizard or witch than by a muggle."
"That is mostly correct, Vampires do tend to stay away from magical folk. But there have been a total of two wizards turned." A gasp went through the class. "Can anyone tell me why a vampiric wizard is dangerous?" Malfoy spoke up to answer.
"A vampiric wizard is not affected by the Avada Kedavra, also vampiric wizards would be able to unimaginable magical feats as a vampire has heightened abilities."
"Correct, turning a wizard into a vampire is extremely dangerous. But if that wizard is good and decides to use what he or she is for the light then it is a good event." In the distance Vlad heard the sound of the bell to end classes. "For homework I want a 2 foot essay on the pro's and cons of being a vampire and their weaknesses. It is to be turned in at the end of the week. You may go but I wish to speak with Ms. Granger and Mr. Weasley. Good day." The class gathered their belongs and headed out for their next class or study period. Vlad watched as Ron and Hermione waited for him. "Ahh yes, Ms Granger what are some attributes vampires have?"
"Well."As the thoughts came she paled.
"Yes vampires have excellent hearing and sight and smell. I did hear your conversation outside of class. I am very hurt you feel that way Hermione." Vlad said with a grin. Both students paled even more. With a wave of his hand the door shut and magically lock and a silencing charm was placed. Both students began to back away fearing the man. "Now I am insulted Herm and Ron, I wouldn't hurt my friends." Vlad said with a grin. Ron and Hermione turned to each other with shocked expressions.
"Ha...Harry?" Ron sputter."
"Yes Ron it's me." The sounds of books dropping to the floor was heard and the sobbing as the two people rushed Vlad. "I'm sorry guys I didn't mean to scare you, but I couldn't let the fact out that I am a vampire and a wizard."
"It's okay Harry, at least your alive.well sort of anyway." Ron spoke. Harry smiled at them. "Hermione, Vlad Tepes Alucard never did what was written about him. He is a good person and father to all vampires as he is the first vampire." Hermione just nodded. The trio continued to talk for a while then Vlad walked them to them to he Great Hall for lunch. Before he left them they both promised not to reveal his true identity. As it would be deadly to him and them should that information get out. The rest of the week went by with out too much of a problem, Malfoy was constantly watching Vlad, Hermione and Ron stuck close to the man. Voldemort hadn't made so much as a sound after his failed attack. It was coming to the next full moon and Remus had returned to Hogwarts to visit Vlad and be with him as it would be his first full moon since Vlad had freed him of his curse. For the first time in many years Remus enjoyed the preceding time before the full moon. Snape came to Remus with a goblet of wolfsbane.
"Lupin it's time for you to take this." He snapped.
"Why thank you Severus but I don't need it any longer."
"What! It's almost time for you to leave for your change, take the wolfsbane." Severus ordered. He didn't see Vlad come up from behind him.
"Severus, Remus will no longer need the potion as his he isn't cursed with the werewolf's curse."
"Foolishness there is no cure for the curse." Vlad interrupted Severus' tirade. "Oh but there is. But it is one that only works if it is given freely, The cure requires an ancient being that has reign over ALL Dark Creatures."
"Rubbish that's only a fairy tale. The Prince of Darkness does not exis." Severus stopped as he began to piece together bits of information.
"Yes he does exist Severus." Remus spoke kindly. Seconds later you could hear the clanging of a metal goblet on the stone floor.
"Yes Severus I am the Prince of Darkness, and I have freed Remus of the curse of the full moon, though if he was in wolf form and bit anyone that isn't a dark creature he would pass on the curse to another. Same as me if I was in wolf form and I bit anyone I would as well pass on the curse." Severus paled at his discovery. "Come lets go to the Great Hall for dinner." Together they went into the Great Hall. Silence fell over the room as Remus a known werewolf walked in and sat up at the teachers table beside Albus. For the first time Remus was happy to be able to enjoy the time as a human during a full moon.
