Chappie Fourteen

"Welcome," Livia said in her gentle voice. The entire hall looked up at her and gave her their full attention, exactly like they did with her father. "Welcome back to Hogwarts. It's great to see so many young people back at Hogwarts after last semester's events. I have a few announcements to make before we have the sorting, sing the school song and of course eat. The first is Mr Filch has placed a list of all the products that have been banned at school. The next is I would like to welcome Professor Remus Lupin back to Hogwarts; he will be taking over as Defence against the Dark Arts and Professor Serenity Eden, who will be taking over the potions classes and the head of Slytherin."

Remus stood up and bowed while Serenity stayed seated and gave everyone a flick of her hand. The Slytherin's all looked up at her intently, as though they were trying to figure her out. Livia sighed and continued. "Most of you may have read the Prophet recently and heard that there will be vampires patrolling the school. I would advise you do not go wandering the grounds late at night. Now my final announcement concerns the death eaters. If any of you students even think of taking that hideous mark on your arm, you can leave the school now; death-eaters are not welcome at Hogwarts. Thank you."

She sat down as Minerva walked down towards the chair and Sorting Hat. To the First years she spoke, "Now when I call your name, you will come up and be sorting into your house; Arlenden, Ayda."

Serenity perked up at the name. A small girl with light brown hair walked up to the chair and sat down. There was a moment of silence when, "HUFFLEPUFF!"

Harry slowly made his way up to the teachers table, as the Hufflepuff house cheered. Livia stood up and walked towards him.

"Arlenden, Ayden," Minerva called. A boy walked up and sat down too. Serenity raised a brow and stared intently at the second twin.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat called.

"Boyle, Peter,"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Breenins, Jake,"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"What's wrong, Harry?" Livia asked.

"You know how Blaise and Draco are going to stay with Gryffindor?"

"Yes,"

"Can Millicent Bulstrode stay with them too?"

"Is she the girl that was with Blaise at your party?"

"Yes," Harry said, "She seems nice, and she'll be alone if she is left in Slytherin."

"I see what you mean," Livia said. "Okay. It'll be arranged. Anything else?"

"Yes, have you heard about the DA?"

"Yes," Livia answered, "What about it?"

"Can we restart it again this term?"

"Sure, when did you have in mind?"

"Well, what day is it that the three of us come for our classes," Harry asked.

"Thursday," Livia said.

"What about Thursday night then?"

"Okay," Livia said. "There isn't anything on that night."

"Zaiden, Drusilla," Minerva called. There were only three students waiting. A pretty first year walked up and sat on the chair. The hat was placed on her head.

"GRYFINDOR!"

"Zaiden, Drusus," A boy, who looked exactly like her walked up and sat on the chair. Serenity perked up once more.

"What's wrong?" Remus asked.

"Drusus and Drusilla," Serenity said, "I just brought my self two bears, silver and gold."

Remus laughed as the hat called out, "SLYTHERIN."

Livia walked back up to the stand, as Drusus walked towards his sister. She waited until she got the attention of the entire school.

"Now," Livia said, "You may have just noticed Harry and I talking during the sorting, my apologies about that, but he brought something up that I find very important. Perhaps some of you older students may remember two years or so there was a group which began. It was called Dumbledore's Army, or DA for short, it will be restarted again. It will be held at Thursday after dinner right here in the hall. Harry will be your teacher and mentor, but of course, Professor's Lupin and Eden will accompany Harry in teaching you. I too will try to be there and of course any of the other staff who wish to be there. Now I think its time for the school song and then we eat. Serenity, I know how much you love to count and sing, so why don't you count us in."

Serenity grinned and stood up. "Everyone pick your tune, I'm gonna sing it Love me Tender by Elvis Presley. ONE. TWO. THREE!"

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

In the end of the song Serenity was still singing to the muggle tune. Only three students were left. Luna Lovegood was marching along to the song. And Blaise Zabini was rapping as Dean Thomas sang as his back up vocals. When the three students finally finished, Serenity changed the words to the muggle version earning a groan from all the teachers.

"Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me -offff," Remus hit her across the back.

"There was a spider on your back," Remus said, sneakily. Serenity glared at him before sitting down

"Party Pooper," she said loudly, laughter erupted in the hall.

"Well that was certainly different," Livia said. "I've never heard the school song in rap before. Either way, let us eat."

Like usual food appeared from thin air, and the entire student body began to eat. Serenity and Remus leaned in together to grabbed a chicken leg but ended up fight over it like a cat and dog.

"I got it first," Remus said, childishly

"Draco Dormiens, Nunquam Titillandus," Serenity answered, slapping Remus' hand away.

"What on earth does that have to do with anything?" Remus said, rubbing his hand.

"Dragon sleeps, don't tickle it," Serenity said, "It applies to me; when I eat don't piss me off."

"Bloody vampire,"

"Howling werewolf," Serenity replied, cheekily.

-------

Once the entire student body finished eating Livia rose again.

"Now before you all retreat back to your dormitories," Livia said, "I would like to introduce the Head boy and girl for this school year. Normally they are informed during the holidays but things have been fairly hectic around here. So after a lot of discussion with the entire staff, we have come to the conclusion of who they shall be. Okay, the head boy is a Slytherin."

Many of the students booed as the Slytherins all hooted. Draco and Blaise looked at each other with raised brows.

"You don't think they choose me do you?" Draco asked.

"I hope not," Blaise answered.

"Our head boy is none other then Blaise Zabini," Livia said. Blaise fell of the bench. Draco and the Gryffindors around him all burst out into laughter. "Blaise, please get of the ground and come up here and collect your badge. In the meantime, our head girl is in the Ravenclaw house. Would Mandy Brocklehurst please come up and collect her badge?"

Mandy acted less surprised and followed Blaise as the entire school cheered. Livia handed them their badges and shook hands with both.

"You two have any thing to say?" Livia asked. Mandy nodded.

"I'd like to thank the staff for giving me the honour of being the Head girl this year," Mandy said.

"Blaise?" Livia said. He walked up and grinned at every one.

"I only have one thing to say," Blaise said, "GO THE BALLYCASTLE BATS!"

He had a mixed reaction from the crowd. Most booed, such as Ron who was yelling for the Chudley Cannons. Serenity was cheering for the team, as she followed them in the Quidditch League. Livia smirked.

"I have to admit, I'm a Bats supporter too," Livia said.

"ME TOO!" Serenity roared. Remus jumped from beside her.

"Well," Livia said, rubbing her ear in annoyance. "I believe its time for the lot of you to go and sleep. Pleasant dreams."

"And don't let the bed bugs bite," Serenity called out. Many laughed.
----------

"What's the password," Pansy asked the new prefect, Markus Harper, he appeared to be of Greek descent.

"I don't know, we weren't given them," Jason answered. "Kailey did you get the passwords?"

"No," A tall, thin brown haired girl answered.

"Well what use are you two then?" Crabbe sneered.

"Is it our fault none of the teachers gave us the password," Kailey snarled at him. Crabbe started at her only to have Serenity appear out of no where in front of him. He jumped startled, along with the rest of the Slytherins.

"I hope you weren't planning on hitting her, Goyle," Serenity said, in a soft but deadly tone.

"I'm Crabbe," Vincent said.

"That's good Greg," Serenity said, absentmindedly. He turned to the other Slytherin's and rolled his finger around his temple, signalling she was insane. "I saw that Crappe."

He rolled his eyes as she walked up to the portrait. The portrait was of a bald old man, with a black goatee. He said absently "Password."

"I love mud-bloods," Serenity said loudly, all the Slytherins began to complain as the man looked at Serenity.

"We are not saying that!" Pansy roared. Serenity cackled evilly.

"Only kidding," Serenity grinned, no one grinned back. She shook her head. "Maybe the pass word should be, 'Sense of Humour.' Any way the pass word is Coca Cola."

"I am not opening to you," the portrait said, as the students asked around about the meaning of 'Coca Cola'. Serenity stared at the portrait with a raised brow.

"Why?"

"Do you think I'd forget you, Ms Eden?" the portrait said, briskly. "Even after a thousand years."

"Oh, damn," Serenity said, she turned around and faced the students. "I'm not allowed in the Slytherin dormitories so to speak, so some one else will need to say the pass word."

"Coca cola," said the boy Serenity recognized as Drusus Zaiden. He had blonde-brown hair with the greenest eyes imaginable. The portrait glared at the boy and then at Serenity.

"I hate to go back on my word," the man said.

"Dude," Serenity snapped, "He has been dead for over a thousand years. Get over it. Shish, I was a kid then. I'm sure as the head of house I won't play any pranks on the students."

"Rubbish," the man said.

"Aw, come on Cronos," Serenity sighed, she pointed behind her "They need to sleep, I mean they need there beauty sleep you know, especially Slytherins."

"Fine," Cronos said, swinging open, none of the Slytherins picked up that she insulted them. "What kind of stupid pass word is Coca Cola?"

"Come on in," Serenity said walking inside. The Slytherins rushed in after her, pushing each other to get in faster. She stopped once she was in the Common Room and gestured to Slytherins to sit. "Okay sit down, I'll make this quick. Alright I understand how the lot of you have been brought up to believe that not being a pure-blood makes you less important. Well some people say brought up, but I say its being brain washed."

Most of the Slytherins glared at her, but said nothing. She continued, "But that doesn't matter. What I am trying to say is, try and behave now. I have heard a lot of nasty stories about you lot, crap about you jinxing other students, trying to kill them or get them expelled. All that crap has got to stop."

"How is this any of your business?" Pansy snapped, majority of the students agreed with her.

"It became my business the moment your last head of house killed my best friend's father," Serenity said, coldly. The lot went silent and said nothing as she continued, "We can do this nicely Pansy, or we can do it how I'd rather do it. Which would be expel the lot of you and send you to Voldemort."

The reaction was what was expected. All the students screamed or carried on in a frightened way.

"Now," Serenity said, raising her hand signalling for silence. "Don't worry, Livia, eh Ms Dumbledore won't allow me too. Either way, I know none of you really truly wish to become death-eaters."

"How would you know?" Crabbe said, sharply.

"Because I can sense your fear," Serenity answered, giving the huge boy a glare. "I also know that majority of you believe do not have a choice in whether or not you'll become death-eaters or not. But you always have a choice."

"And what's that?" Theodore Nott asked. "If we don't join, You-know-who will kill us!"

"If you do join," Serenity pointed out, sounding some what sarcastic "the aurors will kill you, or even Voldemort himself will kill you if you fail some thing. Don't you understand, if you become a death eater, you won't be eating death, it'll be eating you!"

"I don't want to be a death eater," Drusus pointed out. Serenity faced him and saw the honesty in the young boys face

"Five points to Slytherin," She said, the Slytherins all stared at each other in confusement. So she explained herself. "That's what I want to hear! Blaise Zabini said the exact same thing. He doesn't want to be a death-eater. And our side will do all we can to protect him from them. They will do the same with you."

"What about Malfoy?" Nott asked.

"What about him?" Serenity said, shrugging, "Once again, our side is protecting him. He didn't have a choice in joining because Voldie pretty much just rocked up one day at his door and said that he either did what he was asked or he'd kill Malfoy's family. I now that Voldie will do the exact to you. The only way Voldie knows how to get anything is by blackmailing, stealing, cheating and lying. I've pretty much said all I have go to say, but I want you all to know, if you have any problems you can come and speak to me. I'll be in the dungeons most of the time playing with the potions."

"In Snape's old headquarters?" Nott asked.

"Yes," Serenity said. "The password to my bedroom is Skittles."

There was a sudden explosion of whispering among the students.

"What's wrong?"

"Proffesor Snape never told us his password ever," a third-year, dark haired girl said.

"Oh, well I'm not Snape," Serenity said. "What's your name?"

"Celina Avery,"

"Okay," Serenity said. "Any ways, remember what I said. I have to go, I haven't slept in two friggin months, and it's getting old."

"Two months?" Crabbe asked.

"She's a vampire," Nott answered, annoyed at his fellow housemates sudden stupidity. "They don't need much sleep."

"Yeap," Serenity said. "Any how, good night and sugar dreams."

She gave a smile to the students and headed towards the portrait. They watched as she closed the door behind her.

"Who does she think she is kidding?" Goyle snapped, "She honestly believes will go to her if we need help."

"You think she was being honest about Malfoy?" Pansy asked.

"No," Goyle said, "He is just a blood traitor; the Dark Lord never threatened him. He was just a coward and was too scared to kill that old oaf."

"Where are our beds?" Drusus yawned. The three turned and glared at him.

"So you don't wanna be a death eater do you?" Goyle snarled.

"Did I stutter before?" He asked, coldly, glaring defiantly at the three. Goyle stormed furiously towards the boy but found Theodore Nott standing before him. Goyle stopped, Nott was much smaller then both Crabbe and Goyle but they knew how skilful he was on his wand.

"Move it," Goyle snarled.

"Go it slugs," Theodore said sharply. "First years, hurry up, I'll show you to you rooms."

The small group of first years ran after him. Goyle glared daggers into the light copper haired boy.

"I hate that guy," he snarled.

--------------

The Golden trio walked up to Dumbledore's old office. The gargoyle stood before them blocking there entrance.

"What's the pass word?" Hermione asked. Ron shrugged

"I don't know," Harry said. "Um, sherbet lemon?"

The gargoyle did nothing.

"Harry," Hermione said, sounding very peeved. "You need to think of passwords Livia would use, not Dumbledore."

"Um, vampires rule?" Ron suggested. The gargoyle didn't budge.

"I said Livia, not Serenity," Hermione moaned.

"Well we don't know much about Livia," Harry said. "The password could be anything"

"Hello," a voice said behind them. They turned to see a young man, with golden brown hair and deep purple eyes.

"Who are you?" Ron asked, mistrustfully, "Are you one of those vampires?"

"Yes," he answered, truthfully, "My name is Cassius, I'm a Benefseji vampire."

"What the hell is that?" Ron asked.

"We are from an island in Greece," he answered.

"You and who?" Ron asked.

"Me and my tribe," he answered, walking towards Ron who pulled his wand out. The vampire quickly moved back; his hands rose in defeat. "I see you know our weakness to wood."

"You mean wand," Ron said, looking down at his wand.

"No," Cassius said, "Your wand is made of wood and unicorn hair."

"Okay," Harry said, "What's the password?"

"Can't tell you," Cassius said, walking off as he noticed another four vampires walked towards them.

"The password is Nodolian," one of them said. "And stay away from that vampire or any with purple eyes."

"Why?" Hermione said. Harry in the mean time spoke the pass word. The gargoyle sprung to life. The trio jumped on the staircase.

"Cause they bite people for no reason," another said, the stair case began to rise.

"Thanks," Hermione said as the four vampires disappeared out of sight. They finally reached the top of the staircase. They walked over to the door. Ron was about to knock when Harry stopped him. They could here Livia arguing with someone.

"I told you, I don't want the blasted bird," Livia said, sharply. "You already promised it to Harry."

"Livia," A similar voice said. "Please refrain from calling Fawkes an 'it'."

The trio stared at each other in amazement. Harry began to knock on the door.

"Who on earth is that?" Livia said, opening the door. "Oh hello."

"Hey Professor," Hermione said, as they walked in. Harry looked around.

"Where is he?" he asked. Livia pointed towards the wall. And there next to Professor Dippet was a fully awoken Dumbledore. The old headmaster smiled cheerfully at Harry. "Hello sir!"

"Hello Harry, my boy," Albus smiled. "Ronald and Hermione! I heard you two have finally woken up and gotten together!"

The pair blushed as Harry laughed. Livia sat down at the headmasters table.

"What do you three want?" She asked, flipping through a magazine.

"Is that the porn magazine?" Ron said.

"Livia!" Dumbledore scolded.

"It's not a porn mag!" Livia snapped. "It's a music magazine! And how do you know about porn mags?"

"Serenity asked you if you wanted one, remember," Ron said. Hermione and Harry looked at him oddly. "What?"

"You remembered something from weeks ago?" Hermione said. "It's a miracle!"

"Oh, shut up," Ron said as Dumbledore laughed heartily.

"So what's wrong?" Livia asked.

"We just came to tell you were leaving," Harry said, "But we're not sure how to leave Hogwarts."

"Apparate," Livia said, "I put down the wards."

"You did what?" The trio, Albus and all the other dead head masters said together in complete surprise.

"I put down the wards," Livia repeated. "Look, no one knows other then us and the vampires. I had to put them down so the vampires could move freely. Otherwise some vampires may not be able to escape an attack from the deatheaters if they come. Besides, unless if one of them tell Voldemort, nobody else will know of the wards being down."

"But can you trust all the vampires?" Hermione reasoned.

"I don't trust them," Livia said honestly, "However, they are all scared of Serenity and would not dare to cross her."

"Why?" Ron asked. "What's so scary about her?"

"She's the most powerful vampire alive today," Livia said, "Nothing and nobody can kill her. That's why we call her Vixen sometimes, it's vampiric for Queen."

"What about you, Octavian, Samuel, Gabriella and Halle?" Ron said.

"Serenity can kill all four of us, with the exception of Octavian," Livia said, "Because she didn't bite him. The vampire, who bit her, bit him."

"What happened to them?" Ron asked.

"No one knows really," Livia said, with a confused look on her face. "We think he may be dead. None of us other then Serenity has met him, and Octavian doesn't remember what happened when he was bitten."

"Oh," Hermione said. "So the six of you are one strand of vampire."

"We call it tribe," Livia said. "We are the Nodolian Vampires, but Serenity calls us the Vampiri League in public."

"So would the Blejiji vampires be a tribe?" Ron asked. Livia gave him an odd look. "They have purple eyes."

"Oh," Livia said, "Yes, they are the Benefseji Tribe. The tribes are split up on how they are killed or their abilities. Some vampires like the Haydron Tribe are exactly werewolves. They feed on blood only on the night of a full moon and the only thing that can kill them is a silver stake. The Menono Tribe can be killed with anything, so look at it is aimed at where their hearts is. The Gammad Tribe needs to be hit square in the chest with fire, to burn their cold hearts. There are many more, but I don't know of all of them."

"How long have you been a vampire for?" Harry asked, stroking Fawkes. He had forgotten that he also had questions for Dumbledore, because he was so intrigued by his daughter.

"About twenty something years," Livia said. "I was in my Fifth Year; we had just finished our OWLS for that day. My friend and I were trying to avoid your father, just after our."

"Why?" Harry laughed, for some strange reason he found this funny.

"Cause he had a crush on her," Livia shrugged.

"Wait," Harry said suddenly, though he thought he already knew, "Who was your friend?"

"Lily Evans," Livia answered, grinning slightly. "Actually it was just after she told him off for poking fun at Snape."

"The time Snape was left hanging upside down?" Harry asked, grinning evilly. Anytime before Dumbledore's death he would not have found that funny. But now it was.

"How do you know about that?" Livia asked with a raised brow. Albus, Ron and Hermione looked just as confused.

"Pensieve, from when Snape tried, but failed to teach me Occlumens," Harry said.

"Okay," Livia said, still confused, Albus however understood clearly. "Well, it was right after that. I had forgotten my pen tin in the exam room. I entered to see Serenity hanging upside down by the chandelier with my pen tin in her had. She was chewing on one of my pens."

"Pens?" Hermione asked.

"I have a thing for muggle pens," Livia said. "Like how dad has a thing for lemon drops. Any way I knew she was a vampire, but for some reason I didn't fear her. That's when she spoke, telling me I took long enough. And then she attacked."

"You're not angry that she made you a vampire?" Hermione asked.

"No," Livia said, "I wouldn't have been able to meet Octavian. As for Halle, Samuel or Gabby they like being immortals."

"What about Octavian?" Harry asked.

"He doesn't like a lot of things," Livia said, "Anyhow; you three better get some rest. And take Fawkes with you."

The bird made a noise as though it agreed with her. Harry held his hand towards the bird. "Come on, Fawkes."

The phoenix flew and landed on Harry.

"Before we go though," Harry said facing his old headmaster, "Sir, will you ever explain why you trusted Snape?"

"One of the memories will explain it," Dumbledore answered mysteriously. "Harry, please follow the order I left for the memories to be seen. They will make everything much easier for you. And Harry if you do come across Severus before you see that memory, don't kill him or hurt him!"

"I'll try," Harry sighed; he was looking forward to seeing the greasy git again. "I can promise I won't kill him-"

"-Not that Serenity will let you," Livia said to herself.

"But I can't promise I won't punch him in that nose," Harry said, "It'll be quite hard to miss, seeing the size of it."

"Now, now," Albus said, cackling softly. "I'm sure if Livia can control her temper, seeing how she is a vampire, and who her mother is, I'm sure you can too."

"Who's your mum?" Ron asked. Livia grinned at him.

"I shall tell you," Livia said. "If Harry defeats Voldemort. Now go away."

"Harry hurry up," Ron said in annoyance, he then turned to Livia, "I'm holding you to that!"

"Okay," Livia smiled, "Agreed, when Voldemort dies, I shall tell you. So it will be this year or next years some time."

"You really think I'd defeat him," Harry said, stroking Fawkes.

"Of course I do," Livia said. "My father has great faith in you. And he has never let me down before. Now go home, and get some rest, I will see you next Thursday."

"Okay," Harry said grinning. Albus was smiling fondly at Livia who was now looking though her magazine again. "And I'll have something ready for the DA as well."

"Okay," Livia smiled, "Of you go, I have a lot of work to do."

The three nodded and apparated out as Fawkes flashed out behind them. Livia sighed, and raised her feet onto the table, and put her hands behind her head. She looked very relaxed and comfortable as she closed her eyes.

"Now what kind of headmistress sits like that," Phineas Black said.

Albus smiled deeply and said, "One who will rock Hogwarts right of its foundations."

"You say that like it's a good thing," Phineas said

Next Chappie: Millicent tells Hermione what Pansy meant by blood traitor, Ron finds the dairies. More memories on the horcruxes. Enlil begins to feel the effect of old age…

P.s Enlil is a muggle, no magic power, hence why he is aging like a muggle…so it is possible he may die earlier then a hundred days…he may die at fifty…or sixty…or seventy…or even forty…

Peace and Chicken Grease!
