Misadventure Chapter 3

My classmates and teachers spent the next few days saying that everything was going to be alright, and Eddy took this opportunity to always stick at my side as if he was glued onto me. I finally ditched him when I saw my chance as we passed a secret passageway.

I walked up through the walls, to the seventh floor. I kept my hand running along the spider-webbed walls and cringed when the web suddenly broke right on my hand. I hated spiders as a human; I supposed that I still do even as a young vampire. I bit my lip as I reached the end and was about to crawl, but I saw eight human feet coming from somewhere: the Gryffindor Common Room, I had forgotten the Seventh floor had their Common Room. I lay on my stomach waiting for them to leave, I heard James and Lily. Peter came stumbling from the portrait of the fat lady. The Head Boy and Girl held hands as they left finally. I army crawled from the hole in the wall behind the book shelf; I dusted my gray-black robes off and went over and opened the door into my room and looked around once and turned to leave… I just stopped.

I faced my room again and I beamed at it. I had my own personal private room and it was un-findable by my fellow classmates. I walked forward and went over to a bookshelf and took down the second copy of the same book Arubey burned in front of my eyes. I made my head run through that memory over and over again so I would hate him more and more each time. It was the notes of the late Titanic's Captain Edward John Smith, the first voyage and the hit of the iceberg; I turned when I thought I heard something behind me.

"Fala?" I whispered. She could be there hiding, then come out of nowhere and kill me; even Dumbledore wouldn't have a clue what happened to me and why I disappeared so suddenly.

When nothing answered me I brought my face back to my notebook. I bit my lip again as I paged through it carefully. I remembered reading those articles just a few decades after it happened, I had cried. I shook my head when he spoke about his grandchildren and wife who died of ammonia just a few years before he gave his life to go down with the ship.

I took it with me to my chair in the corner of the room and sat down, the light gave me a blue colour and I sighed as he went on to describe the grandkids and even attempted to draw pictures. I smiled when he told stories. I heard something again, I went over to my door and stepped back when nothing was there. I used my gifts to smell anyone and I only got fear and glee, with a hint of lilies. I frowned and brought the notes with me as I left my room, I kept my hand on the door as it disappeared. I walked, as if I had a purpose, I went down and outside. Severus saw me and hurried after me. I sensed him following me as I left the Entrance Hall and disappeared outside; I hit in the gap between two walls. I waited for another moment before parting the six-foot gap and went the opposite way he went: back inside.

I went to the library where I could be forgotten by everyone. I saw friends of Lily's; they were muttering that they missed her. I rolled my eyes and muttered to myself that I missed being able to breathe; unable to control it I said aloud. I disappeared again and went back to my room, I was barely paying attention to everything around me when I place the book back in it's proper.

"Resa," It had been said by four different voices. I closed my eyes and turned around slowly.

"James, Remus, Peter, Sirius… er how did you find-."

"We had a hunch," Peter whispered.

"Peter this isn't the library, you can speak in normal tone in here. Get out," I added.

James grinned, "We know where you've been since the first day, no thanks." He added.

My jaw dropped a little, but I closed it quickly. "Oh, what about when I saved-." I stopped, if Voldemort got them to realize they weren't dreaming but entering my memories, they'd ruin me. Possibly kill me.

"Who did you save?"

"Well apparently you and Lily," I said quickly. I sighed and glared at them, I went over and sat down.

Sirius looked at James and he nodded at me, I looked up when I felt them watching me. "Resa," he muttered. "We've been having these dreams-."

"Oh good, you dream, good for you Sirius. Remember a while ago when I said I never loved you…? I meant it. I used you, get over it, I have." My words hurt them all. I ran my fingers through my hair moving my hair behind me; Sirius's eyes fell to my neck. I stood up quickly; he was trying to find my scars where Fala bit me. "I'm sorry, I just have to move on, and you do too." I whispered in disgrace of myself.

"No you're not, demons are never sorry." He growled in a low voice, I stared at him, I tried to look hurt but I couldn't. This meant he was pissed enough to hopefully leave me alone. "What makes you think we'll help you if you get into trouble where your life is on the line-."

"I expect you," I told him. "To stay away or risk your own neck Sirius," I whispered. Remus glanced at me and James turned away, Peter quivered. "Gloria and Benny-."

"Are dead." Remus told me. I looked up at him, "they found Gloria's beaten body in a ally two days go; she looked like she'd been there awhile. She wasn't decayed, but she was close-."

"Remus…."

By nature werewolves and vampires don't get alone, with that being said, Remus knew I was a vampire from that day on. He also knew that I wasn't dangerous. The Wolves and Upirs have spent centuries in a private war where they kill each other. Since that day Remus and I would never get along and we both knew it.

"James, she's human, werewolves can detect that in someone, let's just go. It's lunch anyway," he muttered. I stood up and wrapped my arms around my chest. I looked away from them all.

Voldemort could sense my pain and anguish and he knew that keeping my secrets was finally getting to me.

I cursed at him and he laughed, I went to my Dormitory and fell asleep.

For most people intimate relationships are easy to come by, for me in my seventh year it was too easy. Eddy and Travis were always trying to get my attention and show off; then Sirius was trying to make me jealous by making sure I always saw him with other girls. Remus and Peter stayed clear of me so we wouldn't get into a fight and by November I had actually dated Eddy again… for real this time and not just a one night stand sort of deal. I asked him, actually, while he helped me with Herbology and he kissed me right away. He always held me hand and Travis tried to yell at him one day, but I came into the room and he stopped.

It became clear after a few more days that Eddy only wanted me for the intimacy moments so I left him. Travis waited a few days before held began holding my hand. He took it one day and wouldn't let go.

The Marauders seemed happy as well, they haven't been given memory dreams of me since the first and second week of school. We were all very happy about it. Then on November's full moon night, I waited until the four boys were outside before I left as well. I turned into my own wolf and got Remus to follow me; I could hear James and Sirius yelling at him to stop. I didn't know why I wanted him to follow me, I just did. I lost them in the forest and then I realized why I needed them to follow me: I wanted to loose them.

After James and Sirius and Peter turned back into human boys, I practically doggie skipped back to the forest. Then once I got there I knew my father had taken me over; I had to get back and find them as soon as possible…. James and Sirius were taking care of Peter and yelling for Remus at the same time. Peter looked like he was going to be ill, so they headed back to the castle together. I waited for them to see me watching them.

"Who is that, there's not another werewolf, is there?" James whispered. I stood on all fours and my tail wasn't moving. I watched them and kept an eye out for Remus. If he attacked them, it could have terrible consequences.

Finally we could all heard Remus sprinting towards them. I went down next to them just in case. "I think it's alright James," Sirius whispered. He stopped me but putting his hand on my back, he ran his hand down my spine with my thick black fur between his fingers. I looked up at him; he was actually smiling at me. My expression didn't change until we got to the edge of the forest and we could see the castle. Only it was then when Remus John Lupin attacked us, more specifically me.

He hurled me through the air into the lake. More then ten yards away. I felt pain shoot up through my body as I broke my front left paw (wrist). I could hear Sirius coming down towards me; I fought the urge to turn back into my self as he fell down next to me. He carried me back to James and Peter, the only thing I could do was to lick the back of his hand, ever so lightly.

"I think her paw is broken," he garbled afraid. James and Peter took out their wands as Remus came back finally. After he had thrown me, he disappeared off to somewhere else on Hogwarts grounds. Remus sprinted at us, I bit Sirius hard enough where he dropped me. "She bit me!" he yelled.

I then broke into a run and Remus and I met midway. James gasped, as I was able to pin Remus down, he was a full-grown werewolf and more than three times my size. I was stronger however.

I beat him down until I got him unconscious. I collapsed next to him and brought my paw over to me and watched as it-healed right there. Sirius knelt down beside me.

"You did good. I'm so proud of you," he whispered. I only got up and disappeared back into the forest where they brought me from. From there I went all the way around so they wouldn't see me, and I got back into the castle and went to bed. I had enough fun for one full moon night.

"Resa wake up," McGonagall snapped I sat up; I wasn't sleeping, but trying to find where Fala was. Travis took my hand gentle and muttered I felt cold still. I shrugged and copied the notes down.

Everyone in the class, well school really, was excited because this was the last day of classes until Holiday break. Minerva kept an eye on me for the next few minutes until class ended. I jumped up and gathered my books and dropped them off in my Dormitory before going down to the lake. I wouldn't have worn my cloak but people would call St. Mungos since they'd think I was crazy. Travis stopped me as I came from the Common Room.

"What?" I asked him I was trying to sound like what a real girlfriend would have sounded but he saw through me.

"What is it, why do you run all the time? You're still cold," he muttered.

I sighed, "I like to keep active Travis Gage." I paused, "I won't be long-." He took my hand before I could get far. He pulled me back and kissed me. He held me by my waist and stepped foreword so I was walking backwards.

"I know how to warm you up Resa," he whispered. Sirius was coming down the stairs, Travis saw him- I didn't. He kissed me again, this time he bent me back with his arm comfortably behind me so I wouldn't fall to the ground. I didn't want to think on how ridiculous I looked, but I felt amazing.

I held his face still, "Not here okay. This is school not home," I told him. He nodded and set me back up; Eddy came down the stairs as he kissed me again. Severus came from the Common Room and Sirius disappeared into the Great Hall, I could see him go up behind a girl and kiss her cheek. He had been dating her for about two weeks now; she wanted him to hold her. He barely liked touching her when he didn't have too. It took him two days just to be comfortable with holding her hand, another three just to kiss her cheek. He just started kissing her on the lips just a day or two ago. I could only laugh; he kissed me within an hour when we made it final.

"Why are you doing that here, we eat right inside that room over there," Severus muttered, I took Sev's hand and I walked with him into the Great Hall for the final feast of that year.

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

Right in the middle of it, I could hear someone calling my name. I looked down at the doors and saw Arubey leaning against them, I watched him for a moment; Travis moved his arm around me. Arubey glared at the back of Travis's head, I could see his eyes advert down to his neck; I shook my head.

"What?" he asked me.

"Don't let go," I said so quickly my head hurt. Albus looked up at the doors, I tried to stand but my legs were jelly. The Marauders and Lily looked down; James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were the first to stand. Sirius's girlfriend, Zoë, took his hand. He pulled it away from her as he reached for his wand. I could feel all four look at me. Travis, Severus, and Eddy stood up as well. I groaned, damn you Arubey. I muttered.

He was laughing at me from the inside, you never responded back. He told me. I sighed and stood up as well

Albus stood finally after a few more human students stood, "May I help you Mr.-?" he didn't know his name; Dumbledore searched his brain for a name that fit his face, but he failed and he didn't like that feeling.

He stood up straight and crossed his arms; I put my arm around Travis's waist so my hand was clutching the open robes. My chin when on his shoulder. "Stay behind me Gwin- Resa." He corrected himself; he was hoping I didn't notice.

Of course I had, I thought my heart was REALLY broken. Arubey responded to the Headmaster, "Sir, I'm with the American Ministry; my name is Alexander Hathaway and I have a request-." He glanced at me as he passed.

"What is it Mr. Hathaway?"

"Observe your student on the last day before break," he said grinning. Minerva was pleading that Albus didn't let him.

"Mr. Hathaway," Remus said. Everyone turned to him, "Why does the American Ministry send someone who looks like you've just finished school?"

"That's because I never started." He smiled again, "I'm a vampire and I should let you know that as one, I have the ability to sense more like me-." I gripped Travis robes so tight my nails went through the fabric and was making my palm bleed diminutive.

He turned to the Great Hall doors and a few more Dark Lines entered, including Edam, Nickolas, and Christopher. "If you wish I can have them go back home. Otherwise, we appreciate your corporation."

"Are they vampires too?" I whispered.

Arubey turned right to me, "Yes, they are. Very old, very talented, and very strong vampires. I myself am quite old, almost five thousand to be factual." The men shielding their girlfriends, took out wands and most pointed them at the three vampires, the rest was at Arubey.

"Be very afraid," Edam sang. They walked together up close so they stopped right in front of me. I let go of Travis, "We've had on of our own here at the school since September, our Blood Sister, Gwin." Edam looked at me, and then turned to Lily. She gasped.

"No!" James yelled, she almost started crying.

I stepped over the bench, but Travis pulled me back and Severus held my other arm, Eddy wanted nothing more then to be next to me. She gripped him tightly, Edam grinned.

"Lily, sweetie, if you please come and stand next to us-."

"Edam," I whispered. I saw Nickolas pull out the stake and hand it Travis, everyone watched him.

"Stake one of us if you want, you are in charge." Alex assured Dumbledore, he was shaking his head as Lily broke down and James sat down next to her as he held her face in his chest.

"It's okay Lily, we know you're not a vampire-."

"There's only one way to know for sure here." He tossed something to James, I knew what it was: Arsenic. I recognized it from a dream I had months ago. "It's Holy Water so it's not poison to human, if she is a vampire she'll die, but it's better then having this vampric cloud over her head, isn't it James?" James only turned to Lily and held her closer still. He kept his arm around her

It came to me, they were sent here by Voldemort, "Who sent you, you can't even do magic. You never went to school Alex," I said finally, when James considered trying to get Lily to drink it. "You were born in Ancient Egypt, you and your family were slaves for that pharaoh." I snapped, I stumbled, but regained myself as I went over to James and Lily, he pleaded with me. I took the bottle, I had another thought. "You drink it."

"Why not you?" they asked me, I hated it when they did that.

"You're all pathetic-."

"Resa-."

I turned to Eddy just as Arubey sent the stake at Lily; Lily and James yelled and I cast a spell at it. It hit it out of bounds and Edam jumped me.

"James take Lily and get out!" I yelled as I hit him,

"I don't get-."

"It's Voldemort, he's coming," I gasped when Nickolas grabbed me from behind. Dumbledore yelled for all students to get to their Common Rooms, Christopher kicked me in the back. James and Lily still weren't gone.

"JAMES!" I yelled, he grabbed Lily's hand and they ran from the room, before they got far the door burst open and everyone was trapped inside the Great Hall, Dumbledore nearly ran over to the front. I looked up.

My father was standing there, in front of everyone.

All we could do was pray that we'd see morning.
