Draco had been reading his book for three hours. He had let out all the emotions he had bottled up inside himself the past few days. Hate, rage, happiness, sadness, and confusion. He was so into his book that he didn't notice when his door had blasted open.

BLAISE POV

When I was coming out of lunch, I went to the library. On my way, I saw a group of 4th years huddled in a bunch. I listened very closely to hear what they were saying.

"Yeah! It's scary but I've seen them!" One boy said.

"Did they have big fangs?" Asked a girl.

"Oh yes. They were huge! And when he attacked that deer, it was like; POW! And bang! Super awesome."

"So did he look like a regular kid?" Asked another boy in the group.

"Yeah. He even had our uniforms! Well, it was a Slytherin one, but it was still really cool! His hair was like white! Super awesome…" I didn't feel like listening to them anymore. A blonde Slytherin boy a vampire? Hah. Right. The only blonde Slytherin boy I know is Draco.

So when I managed to get to the library, I decided to check out the mythical creature section.

The book I decided on was called; Blood Thief. It sounded good so I just figured that it would be interesting. I started reading it in a comfy black chair.

"In the beginning of time, they had many names. There was the flesh eater (which soon changed to blood drinkers), black eyes, the cold ones, the pale ones, and leeches. Despite these names, they all refer to vampires. Vampires are very rare creatures to come across but when you manage to find one, you most likely might not live to tell anyone.

Vampires look very similar to humans. The only differences from vampires and humans are that vampires have incredibly different skin tones. Their skin is very pale and feels cold. The skin temperature of a vampire depends on how old the vampire is. The older the vampire, the colder its skin. Vampires can keep the appearance of a normal human only when their Hunger is satisfied. Most vampires drink human blood from either willing donors or they get their blood from hospitals. A lot of vampires have been referred to as 'vegetarian' vampires because they drink blood from animals. This is not uncommon for vampires to do this, especially when the vampire has no human blood to drink.

A vampire has an acute sense of smell and sight. Vampires can smell the blood of humans and animals as well as hear the pulses when they are Hungry enough. Vampires can also see over five times more clearly, further, and detailed than humans can. You can tell if a vampire is Hungry when their eyes turn dark, almost a black colour. Their sight and smell will increase more than regular vampires'. Also, the hearing of a vampire is very sensitive. They can hear sounds of animals moving from a mile away.

Vampires are a very dangerous creature. It is remarkably fast and extraordinarily strong. If anyone were to face a vampire in a fistfight to the death, they would surely loose. Vampires can leave fist marks in walls if they choose to punch them. They can pick up cars easily and throw them like they were a small child. They can run up to 95 miles an hour.

Vampires are usually civilized. The only vampires that are not are fledglings. They can take 6 months to 3 years to become civilized and even then, it may be hard to control their Powers.

Powers are not very rare in vampires. It is the type of power they have that is rare. Some vampires can read minds; others can put images into minds. Some can cause you a great amount of pain and others can feel your pain and make you calm. Then there are the vampires that have tracking abilities. Others can change their appearances to look older, younger, different races, and heights. These Powers all come at a price. You can't loose them.

The earliest vampire to walk on earth was the Pale Man. He was said to have eaten the flesh and blood of maidens that went out to fetch water from a river. When one of the women stayed alive through his tearing and eating of her flesh, she turned into a Pale Woman. These two Hunted together and ate together. They were inseparable. One day, the men in the village where the vampires fed noticed that many maidens had gone missing. They sent out a search party to find them but none came back. Only when they had their whole army of men go out and look for the culprits, were they found. A scribe wrote down the events that happened and later a man found this and read it. It told of a terrible experience that happened when the army went out to look for the lost women. They translated it into English and a portion of it went like this:

'We have found the bodies of three maidens. All torn a ripped to pieces. The smell was horrible. Piles of bodies and limbs are to the left of me and on my right is a pile of bones and skulls. The smell is putrid. Many men are regurgitating on the side of the trial. What monsters would do this? It is obvious that this is not the work of animals but of humans.

We have come upon a cave and some men have gone inside. A scream has been heard followed by silence. No one dares to move. Sounds are coming from inside the cave. It sounds like speaking. This is not our language. A woman has emerged from the cave. It is the woman that was lost from our camp. Beside her comes a man. Unknown to all of us. They move quickly. Long teeth and black eyes from every where. Air around is cold as ice. Pale skin differentiates us from them. Pale Man kills one man. Two men at the same time killed by Pale Woman. 'Tis me and six men remaining. End is near. May we not be forgotten.'

The men in these passages were never found but the Pale Man and Pale Woman must have made many offspring because even now, today, there are many vampires that roam the earth.

How the term 'vampire' came from the word 'vampir' which came from the Slavic word 'upir' which was from the Turkish word 'uber' which means 'witch'.

I stopped reading. The book made me confused. Vampires were real and the first one was in the time period where men still wrote on stones. Could Draco be a vampire? He has pale, cold skin, white hair, is very fast, and very strong. That is a possibility that Draco is a vampire. But I've been his friend since we were both in our first year at Hogwarts. Draco always went for a walk to Hogsmede alone but that's nothing suspicious. Was it? All alone on a walk could mean that he goes anywhere. He could sneak into the forest and meet with a secret vampire clan and come back to the castle and kill some kids for food.

'Wow. I gotta get this out of my head. I'm getting way too caught up in this. I'm just gonna go back to my dorm.' I thought. So I got up and started walking to the front of the library. Once I got out and turned the corner, I froze. There I saw Ginny Weasly laying on the ground, passed out.

I ran up to her and checked her pulse first. Good so she was alive. Even though she is my enemy I can't just let her die. No. That would be rude. And so I put my arms under her waist and I picked her up and put her in my arms. While I was carrying her to Madam Pomfry's I didn't hear my book slide out of my bag and fall onto the floor.

When I got into the Hospital wing, Madam Pomfry took one look at Ginny and me and squeaked. Then she scuttled over and took the girl from me and laid her in a bed.

"Thank you Mr. Zabini. Ginny is safe now, you can go." And that was it. I left and headed down the back stairs to the Slytherin Wing.
