Ron watched as the werewolf's claw came bearing down on his throat, but then a shape threw itself at the werewolf knocking it to the ground, "Hermonie no!" but it was too late.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As he and Harry staggered to their feet they saw the werewolf and Hermonie standing at the far end of the clearing facing each other. At least they thought it was Hermonie, but her hands were clawed and her eyes were black. The werewolf howled at her and she hissed back at it, exposing sharp, pointed teeth.
"Hermonie?" Ron whispered. Both he and Harry could only stare as the thing that looked like Hermonie and the werewolf leapt at each other. They collided with enough force to knock down a tree causing Harry and Ron to wince.
Just then Hagrid staggered up behind them, also staring as the two rolled on the ground, tearing long gashes into each other. While Hermonie was sporting a long, ugly gash to her left arm, the werewolf looked much worst. Hermonie hissed one last time and bit his throat.
As Harry, Ron, and Hagrid watched, Hermonie's wounds closed up as she feed on the fallen werewolf. After about thirty seconds she pulled her head away. The werewolf turned back into a man, and though he was still breathing, he wasn't a pretty sight.
"Hermonie?" Ron whispered again. She looked up, blood was dripping down her chin and she quickly wiped away. As they watched, she stood and her eyes returned to their natural color, and her claws and fangs began to shrink. "I-I'm sorry, I couldn't let him kill you, I never wanted you to find out." Tears began to role down her cheeks leaving a shining path in the dirt that covered her face.
Harry and Ron could only look at her, their mouths agape. Taking the situation into his hands Hagrid walked forward. Putting an arm around Hermonie and lifting the werewolf with the other he said, "Let's get back to my hut, Hermonie I think we would all like to know what just happened."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Hagrid had safely stowed the werewolf, Harry, Ron, and Hagrid sat facing Hermonie expectantly.
Hermonie didn't know how to start, so she just said in a rush, "I'm half vampire, my dad was one of the most powerful vampires who defied Voldmort, he was killed for it." To her surprise, Harry and Ron both smiled.
"Well that's all right then." Harry said. When they saw Hermonie's confused look Ron added, "Hermonie, you're still the same person, you're still our friend, so what can you do?"
"Wha-?" Hermonie started.
"Come on Hermonie," Harry put in, a grin was starting to spread over his face. Hermonie looked from Harry to Ron, both were sporting identical wicked grins. "What can you do?"
"Um," Hermonie said confused, 1. Well I can transform from a human to a vampire at will. 2. When I'm in my vampire form, I am about twenty times as strong as a normal human.
3. I can climb up walls and along ceilings.
4. I can jump about thirty feet. 5. I can hypnotize people. 6. I can get into almost any place I want to without leaving a track, meaning I can steal pretty much anything. 7.I can erase memories when I bite someone.
8. I need to feed at least once a week.
When she finished, Harry and Ron were smiling.
"What?" Hermonie said.
Harry spoke first, "Think of all the things we could do to Snape and Malfoy."
"Yeah." Ron said, "Hermonie, why didn't you tell us sooner, think of all the fun we could have had."
Hagrid started humming and looking out the window, "I didn't hear anything about Snape or Malfoy, nothing at all. And most importantly I am not telling you that Snape is terrified of purple spotted orange bunny rabbits."
They all looked at Hagrid, who had a blank look on his face, he had continued humming and staring off into space.
