AN: So, as of now, I am a vampire. Here's how:
Drac- You'd rather be a superhero for but a life time than be with me...forever?
Poison-No offense Mr tall, dark and creepy; but superheroes have these amazing privledkhnfges.
Drac- What was that?
Poison- I said privledges, my tongue got stuck on the back of my teeth, checking for stuff.
Slyffindor- I have a feeling he's pissed off.
Poison- Aww, is the mean bad man throwing toys out of his pram again.
Drac- --growls threateningly- Poison, I assure you that anything I do to you now will hurt...a lot.
Poison- --gasps-- And I thought we were friends!!
Slyffindor- we were arguing about being a superhero or vampire and now
you want to kill her, no offense, dude, but second thoughts I'll be a
superhero...for now--evil cackle--
Poison- --uses flying powers to fly around the room really fast-- the
test is easy, you just have to run form 0-60 in under one second and
have super powers.
Slyffindor- damn, I traded my powers in for a brownie.
Drac- Poison, Slyffindor, I've made up my mind, Slyffindor girl I will
make you a vampire with me as a reward for your amazing writing.
Poison, the gift will be a curse, you will be my slave...forever.
Poison- I don't have to wear a dominatrix outfit, do I?
Drac- --gives quizzical look- No
Poison- oh good, let's get to it. I think Slyffindor girl should go
first, cos of her amazing writing. And do you think this cape makes my
arse look big?
--answering machine-- Slyffindor girl is getting biten by a vampire as
a reward for amazing writing at the moment, please leave a message and
she'll get back to you as soon as the blood transfusion is over.
Poison- hurumph...Oh well, who wants a brownie? Anyone-- silence as dracula closes in for the bite-- o...k
(exit Poison)
So...here's Chapter 21. Enjoy!
Chapter 21: The Real Aleera Part Two
"You've got to be joking.." Hermione was still in denial. How could wicked Aleera be a Weasley?
"I was born in . Everything was fine until the day my siblings got their Hogwarts letters. I didn't get mine, partly because I was never able to perform magical tasks."
"So you were a Squib?"
"Yes. A Squib. After that, I felt like I was almost compared to my siblings. While they were at Hogwarts, I dwelled in my so called failure."
"That can't be. The Weasleys are kind and caring people who wouldn't treat anyone in that matter!"
"Not everything is as you see it, Dragomir." Aleera scowled. "Now. Do you want to hear the rest?"
Hermione nodded frantically. She knew what Aleera could do to her if she go on her bad side.
"Ok. So..at the age of seventeen, I had enough of being judged. But that's not why I was outcasted."
"So..what was?"
"I had a twin sister. She attended Hogwarts. Star pupil and all that. Her name was Josette. She looked sort of like me, except her eyes were a deep emerald. One day, We were arguing over something. We were near the Shrieking Shack...and..."
Hermione was waiting. "Whhat happened?" she was half afraid to find out what happened to Josette.
"A clan of werewolves ambushed us. She fought with her spells and charms. She told me to run. At first, I didn't listen. One of them was about to bite me. My sister pushed me out of the way. Her face told me to run. And I listened this time..." Hermione could tell it was hard for Aleera to retell this tale.
"Did she..?"
"Yes, mortal. They killed her. I heard her screams."
"So, your sister's death caused the place to get its name?"
Aleera nodded once. "When the news spread, my parents were devastated. I told them the entire story. They blamed me for her death. My father especially. I tried to convince them otherwise, but they wouldn't budge. I remember one night he struck me across the face and told me that I would amount to nothing. I hate the werewolves. Still do..."
"I don't blame you for hating them, Aleera. They took your sister from you."
"That's not all. Soon after, my parents disowned me. They felt that I was a constant reminder of the fact that their star child was gone. I never cried so hard in my life. I couldn't understand why. I then decided that I would make them pay, and all werewolves. Then..I met the master." her voice sparked with joy when she mentioned the master.
"How soon after you met did you become a vampire."
"A few weeks."
"Weeks?"
"Surprised by that, mortal?"
"Yeah..It's just that humans take months, even years to fall in love.."
"Mortals and their ways.." Aleera sighed.
"So, what happened after that?"
"Why do you care so much?"
"Because sometimes we all need someone to express our troubles to." Hermione was truly concerned with Aleera at this point. She was trying to break through to her.
"If you insist." Aleera scowled. Hermione knew it would be hard to break the shell of this bride. "After that, I did vanquish some of the werewolves that took my sister's life."
"That's good.." Hermione spoke again.
"And I managed to show my family what I was made of.."
"You killed them?"
"Not all of them. That is why your friend Ginny still lives. I ended my father's life. I told him that I was greater than any of my siblings. I knew Josette would have mixed feelings about my choices. Sure, she would hate me for killing father, but he caused his own death in my opinion."
Hermione swallowed hard. "Ooookk..."
Aleera had a smirk on her face that appeared after Hermione stuttered. "Scared?"
"Maybe.."
AN: To the Death Eaters...
Voldemort sat inside the dark chambers with his loyal followers.
"How come we couldn't fly there by broomstick in the first place?" Barty Crouch Junior dared to speak.
"We needed to confim the details. Dracula has Miss Dragomir. She is alive, and has been causing the destruction of MY Horcruxes." Voldemort bellowed with a cruel tone. "And I will end her life.."
"But, My Lord.." Barty spoke again. "Forgive me, but, isn't Miss Dragomir a pureblood?"
"She is a traitor to us for aligning with Count Vladislaus Dracula. she will pay for her grave mistake!"
"Of course, My Lord."
AN: Back to Hermione and Aleera
"I know it feels wrong to aid someone who is related to your former family, but, she isn't like them. Her and her siblings are kind hearted people, and I know you can complete this task with ease."Hermione was hoping that she was able to persuade Aleera to change her mind.
Aleera glared at Hermione for a few seconds, and then responded. "Alright. I will help. Just tell my sisters to keep the girl away from me! It might trigger my vengeful side.." she snickered.
"See? Was that so hard?" Hermione smiled. Aleera and Hermione were walking side by side towards the other three vampires. The Count knew Hermione had gotten to Aleera in a positive way.
"Shall we go now?" Verona was slightly loosing her patience at this point.
"Yes...Lets.."Marishka and Aleera said in a wicked manner.
All of a sudden, the group heard breaking of glass, as shards cascaded from the upper windows.
"What was that?" Hermione hesitated. She looked around.
Then, black cloaked figures arrived, with skull masks. Marishka, Verona, and Aleera could tell they were humans.
They drew their wands. Hermione began to focus with her wandless magic.
It wasn't long before the first spell was cast.
AN: Cliffie! Muahahahahahha! Next Chapter will be brief, but will be a turning point. So, yeah. Please read and review!!! Chapter 22 will go up ASAP!!!
