A/N: hey all. Sorry for the late update. After the last chapter i had no idea what to write. Here it is.
Disclaimer: none of this is mine. Except Hayden, Paige. This belongs to JK Rowling and the vampire belongs to Buffy the Vampire Slayer who belongs to god knows who. On with the story. This chapter focuses mostly on Paige and Hayden. Cause Draco and Clarissa are not the only main characters in the story.
Chapter 10:
Paige was clutching the letter in her hands and shaking at the same time. Hayden saw what was happening and escorted her out of the Great Hall.
" You alright?" Hayden asked. Paige nodded in reply.
" Bring me to the library. I need to check something." Hayden brought her there as he held her in his arms.
Hayden and Paige sat in the library with piles of books in front of them.
" What are we looking for exactly?" Hayden asked Paige.
" Ways to kill a vampire. Painfully." Paige added. Hayden mumbled an unknown word that sounded like ' yeah right'. A couple of minutes passed before Paige slammed the book in front of Hayden.
" The best way to kill a vampire is to drive a wooden stake through its heart. It does not hurt much but its the most effective way." Paige read the passage out aloud. " Other ways to kill it is to either cut off its head or cut it into half. Or we can try to submerge the vampire in holy water where it will burn and dissolve. It hurts a hell lot but do you think its easy to get Angelus into a tub of holy water where it will dissolve and burn while we watch in amusement?" Hayden shook his head vigorously, clearly creeped out by Paige.
" Wait." A book caught her eye. Its was a dusty old leather book with a silver symbol of her death mark. ( Its the star tattoo.) She opened the book and the pages of the book started flipping by themselves and stopped. Paige looked at where it had stopped and was surprised at what she saw.
" Angelus." she breathed. " Its says here that magic cannot kill him. Only a stake through his heart will be able to destroy him. Which means that he is immune to spells and hexes." Paige looked at Hayden, his face expressionless. Suddenly, the pages of the book flipped again. Paige asked Hayden to sit next to her looking at the page the book stopped at.
Born in evil
Raised in light.
Only the chosen ones.
Will win the final fight.
Another like this.
Will be made.
But beware.
It might be fake.
But this incantation.
They must follow.
When the chosen four say
Lumino Irrecanto.
" Do you know what this means?" Hayden was the first to speak. Paige nodded in reply. " We have to get to Dumbledore." Paige shut the book and followed Hayden out of the library.
-
" So what you mean is that there is another prophecy?" Dumbledore asked the both of them.
" Yes professor." Paige replied.
" Why wasn't I informed of this?" He asked again.
" We just found out ourselves professor." Hayden answered. " We were researching on vampires when Paige found this book and it flipped open by itself ans showed us this page."
" May I have a look at this book?" Paige nodded and handed the headmaster the book that was in her hands. After a few minutes, Professor Dumbledore snapped the book shut.
" Oh my, this is a very serious matter. We must not let anyone know about this. Not even the Order."
" Not even Harry Potter?" Hayden asked.
" No. we must still let them believe that the prophecy about harry Potter remains true. So that everything will proceed as planned."
" Yes professor." Both of them replied as they both left the headmaster's office and walked towards the lake in silence. As they sat on a tree near the lake, Paige laid her head on Hayden's shoulder and started crying. All Hayden could do was to hold her in his arms and stroke her hair at the same time.
" Why is everything happening at the same time?" Paige said in between sobs. " My exams are piling up, I'm going to help to kill my own father, there is a mad vampire out to get me and I have not studied for my exams! Its in two weeks!" Hayden continued to comfort her in anyway he could, at the same time amused by how much Clarissa and Paige were alike.
" Well, you can start studying for you exams now, once it is over, you can slowly plan on killing the vampire that is out to kill you." Hayden frowned at the little sense he is making but continued anyway. " Then you can go on about how you can kill you father."
" But I don't want to kill him. He has been nothing but good to me. I merely want to banish the evil in him. Is that even possible?" Paige asked as she looked up at Hayden.
" It is if you want it to." Hayden answered as he tucked a loose curl behind Paige's ear and leaned down to kiss her.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Paige and Hayden were walking back to their Assistant Head Dorms after their little 'talk' by the lake when they heard sounds from the corridor that led to their dorms and started running to it only to see a crowd of students standing in front of their common room portrait. ' Excuse mes" were heard as Hayden and Paige pushed their way to the entrance of their dorms. All they saw was a mass of blood that read I will taste your virgin blood. Paige fainted dead away.
Hayden managed to catch her before she hit the ground and carried her to the infirmary to get her treated. As he walked there, he noticed that her once bouncy curls are now straight and its honey brown color is now a dark brown, so dark that its almost black. As he was walking to the Hospital Wing when he bumped into Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape who were on their way to the bloodied portrait but they stopped to help Hayden first.
" Serveus, please seek the assistance of our Head Boy and Girl. I am sure they will help you. I'll take it from here." The silver bearded old man instructed the potions master and he left without hesitation.
" Considering what happened just moments before, I am sure that the both of you would need a place to spend the night. So I am letting the both of you spend the night in the Room of Requirement." Dumbledore said as he walked up a flight of stairs to the room of requirement while Hayden followed behind with Paige in his arms. They continued walking until they reached an empty corridor and they walked a little bit more until the reached a blue tapestry. Dumbledore lifted the tapestry and opened the door behind it. Hayden stepped into a purple room with a huge bed covered with black sheets.
" I shall leave you now. I have urgent matters to attend to if you don't mind me." With a gentle swish of his robes, he left. Staring at the immaculate being in his arms, Hayden slowly, carefully laid her down onto the ebony sheets and let her sleep.
