Chapter 3:
A Quiet teacher
D was looking around his classroom, the vampire hunter let out a sigh. This would be the first time he would be teaching anyone, and that made the hunter a bit nervous. All though staying true to his nature, D remained emotionless as ever. Also the dampire had never been around so many people in one place before. Sure D had been around this many people before but the hunter only stayed long enough to kill the vampire/monster and move on. Then there were the stares. D had been stared at before, but those stares were of hate. These were ones of longing.
"Hormonal teenage girls are scary." The symbiot said.
"You have no idea." D told him.
"Cheer up D! I'm sure something will brighten your day." The symbiot said trying to cheer up the hunter for once. " I mean what could happen?"
Suddenly the now black door turned the ugliest shade of green the hunter had ever seen. The door then went flying off its hinges and straight though the room.
All nervousness now gone the hunter marched out of his door way and in to the hallway.
There the students of Hogwarts got their first good look at the new teacher. What there saw did not please them in the least. There D stood in front of the crowd, the hunter crossed his arms and gave the student s his best glare.
"Who is responsible for this?" the hunter said.
The students parted and there in the center were two students. One with almost white hair and the other with raven hair.
"I believe that dueling in the hallway is prohibited." D told them.
"It's his fault professor!" The blond hair boy said pointing his finger at the dark hair boy.
"My fault!" The dark hair boy said, his green eyes wide in disbelief.
"We will settle this later. " D told the 2 boys. "Now everyone into the room."
The vampire hunter now stood in front of his classroom.
" Is everyone settled in?" The vampire hunter asked.
"Yes Professor D."
"Good. Now we will first begin with the different types night creatures." D told them.
A female student with curly hair quickly raised her hand.
" Yes, Ms," D began
" Hermione Granger sir."
" Do you have something you would like to add?' D asked.
"I think you mean dark creatures Professor." Hermione told the dampire.
The hunter shook his head." You will most likely never come across a true dark creature. The creatures you will run across, the vampires, weres, banshees, ECT, as well as certain dragons are classified as night creatures." D looked around then. " You should be taking notes."
The students did as they were told.
A red haired boy raised his hand then.
" Yes, Mr."
"Ron Wesley Professor,"
"Do you have a question?" D asked.
"Are there day creatures?" Ron asked
" That is a very good question. The answer is yes. Unicorns, phoenixes, certain dragons and fairies are all classified as day creatures. As well as many other creatures." D told Ron.
"Professor D" The blond haired boy from before spoke up.
D turned his head to the boy.
" Are there any creatures that are in between?" He asked.
"Yes they are called the creatures of twilight." D told the boy. "Now most night…" . "Are they dangerous?" He asked " Yes they can be, but you need not be scared of them." D told the blond boy.
"I'm not scared of anything." The blond boy said puffing out his chest.
Muffled laughter rang out through the classroom.
" Only a fool is not afraid of any thing." D told the class.
"Professor D?" This time it was the black hair boy from before.
"Yes?" Blue eyes looked on to green ones.
The boy rubbed his fore head for a moment." What are the twilight creatures called?"
"Dampires." The class could have sworn that they saw a flash of a blue glow in their teacher's eyes.
The rest of the class went on with no more question asked. Finally the class was over and the students were just about to leave when.
" Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter come here." D told the two students.
Draco and Harry stood in front of their professor.
" As punishment for your out burst before class, both of you will choose one creature that we discuss today and write me a 5 foot long scroll on said creature. Do I make my self clear?" D asked.
"Yes Professor D." both boys said at one.
Draco quickly left not wanting to be near Harry, but the boy who lived stayed long enough to hear a peculiar thing.
" That Malfoy kid's a real little brat D. And I think you should watch out for that Potter boy there's something odd about him." A voice said.
It sounded like Professor D and yet it did not. It reminded Harry of when he talked to Fred and George. They both sounded alike but different at the same time. Harry quickly left the hallway to meet up with his friends.
In the staff room of Hogwarts a very odd meeting was going on between Professor Snape and the former Professor Lupin.
"You know something I don't ." Snape said arms crossed as he looked over at Lupin.
"I have no idea what your talking about." Lupin said as he took a sip of his hot chcolate.
Snape raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to tell me that nose of yours hasn't smelt anything, unusual about D? Haven't felt a cold shiver go down your back when you pass him in the hallway?"
Lupin did remember the odd feeling when ever the hunter turn teacher was around him. Most of the time the feeling was indeed cold , but as the full moon was getting nearer and nearer , the feeling had change. Now when ever Lupin was around D he felt like a soldier in an army trying to please the decorated 5 star general. Snape had been right, D did have an odd sent to him, and that smell was what worried Lupin the most. To the werewolf D smelled like a vampire as well as a human. But that was impossible! D could not be a vampire that he sure of. The DADA teacher walked in the sunlight, he ate normal human food and most likely cast a reflection. Then there was the human part of D's scent. Although Lupin was sure that D was not a vampire he was also sure that the man wasn't 100 human. He was far too pale for one , D made Snape, the palest man he knew before meeting D, look positively rosy compared to the dada teacher. There were other things to. Lupin had seen D's ears once and had noticed that they were pointed, but that gave no clue as to what the teacher was. Many magical creatures had pointed ears including himself..
"There were some things." Lupin told Snape as he clutched his mug.
" And are you going to share them with me? I mean you are the man's assistant." Snape said.
" He has told me nothing Severus." Lupin said taking a sip.
"He must have told you something?!"
" Like I said before Severus, he has told me nothing." the werewolf once again took a sip of his hot chocolate.
It was the end of the day and the hunter turn teacher was heading back to his room. Just as he was about to open the door he notice that it was open. Peering inside, D saw that on his desk there was a single box of lollipops. On closer expectation the dampire noticed that there was a note tied to the box.
"You might not remember me but I could never forget you. The lollipops are specially made and I think they will be too your liking I hope."
"Aww, you've got a secret admirer!" The symbiot said .
"No, just a past client."
End chapter 3
Sneak peek:
Harry, Ron and Hermione watched with wide eyes as they saw what seemed to be the DADA professor. The man was decked out in amour and the 7 and ½ foot sword was more then a little intimidating. It was truly a sight to see.
The hunter knew he was being watched he couldn't help it right now. He had to protect these students. D leapt and swung his sword, there was a flash and an image began to flicker , what appeared came in to view. What the hunter saw put even him on edge.
"That's impossible D, that thing has to be an illusion!"
