Hermione Granger; A Vampire Chapter 13
Rated; M for language…
Two hours later, Hermione found herself somewhere she thought she would never be in her life. She was at a college Halloween frat party, with Katherine and Stefan, dressed as some kind of demon or devil. On the way to the party (they had apparated), they had stopped off at a few stores to buy some accessories for their costumes. Katherine was dressed as a witch, a pointed witches hat perched upon her bed of curls, and she was wearing a short black dress, along with spider web tights and heeled boots. Stefan didn't dress up, but simply wore all black. Hermione was wearing all black, including the stilettos Katherine had ordered her to wear, and found she adjusted quickly to the hight. She had devil horns on her head, and Katherine had clipped on some sort of devils spiked tail, which Hermione and ripped of as soon as Katherine's back was turned.
The party was naturally thrown at a frat house, and was decorated to match the theme, complete with spider webs, hanging bats and spiders, weird hand lamps and all other sorts. There was some punch with a label reading 'witches brew' which someone had wrote over to form 'bitches brew'. The punch was of course spiked, with what Hermione was sure was vodka. She had tasted the stuff at one of her parents dinner parties and didn't think much of it. Never the less she helped herself to a cup, just to give her something to do. She soon felt the pleasant buzz from the alcohol take over her mind, and she felt calm.
"Let's dance!" Katherine had appeared out of no where and pulled Hermione over to the dance floor. Hermione recognised some of the songs; 212 by Azealia Banks, Feel so close, by Calvin Harris, and a load of other popular songs. Hermione may only live in the muggle world for two months a year, but she hadn't been living under a rock.
At first, when she and Katherine and taken to the dance floor, she felt extremely self conscious. She danced stiffly, just tapping her feet occasionally. But eventually she didn't care what people thought. Maybe it was the alcohol taking over her mind, maybe it wasn't. She started dancing, kicking out her feet, waving her arms all over the place, whipping her hair out. She gave a yell of delight as she realised she didn't care if she danced weirdly. Katherine grinned, and yelled along with her. Katherine had picked up how people dance in this day and age fast, and was now jumping up and down with Hermione.
Stefan came over and laughed at the girls who were dancing as though they were on crack. He took a cell phone out of his pocket, and began to take pictures of the two girls dancing. Katherine wrapped her arm around Hermione's shoulders and pursed her lips. Hermione did the same, and laughed. They all took crazy pictures of each other laughing at how they turned out.
"I've GOT to have these developed!" Stefan shouted over the insanely loud music.
Katherine didn't even ask what 'developed' mean, she just nodded and continued to dance. Hermione decided to take a break from dancing, as she was starting to sweat and her legs and arms were beginning to ache.. She went over to the punch bowl and refilled her paper cup. She wondered when Katherine and Stefan were going to help her with the feeding thing. She thought about going over and asking them if they should start now, but decided against it. Katherine looked like she was having so much fun, dirty dancing with Stefan, and she didn't want to spoil it. Also she just felt really awkward, about going up to them right now.
She looked around the room, grinning widely. She saw teenagers EVERYWHERE. Some were dancing routinely. Others were crazy dancing like Hermione had. Some passed out drunk in dark corners. The DJ was wearing some kind of helmet that flashed different lights, and the DJ booth had funny pictures flashing on it, like llamas and teddy bears drinking beer.
She wondered if she would ever go to college. She hoped so, just because she didn't age now, didn't mean she couldn't do things a normal person would. She liked the atmosphere of everyone just not caring, that they will have terrible hangovers, that they probably will fall asleep during class. At Hogwarts she had never taken part in late night parties, fearing she would not be able to do well in class the next day. Ginny loved those late night parties and often was the one to sneak in the firewisky.
"Hey! Great party huh?" Hermione started, as a guy spoke to her. He had greasy light brown hair, styled carefully with a lot of gel, and his face was covered in spots and pimples.
Hermione smiled weakly. She didn't want this guy to get the wrong idea. He seemed like the type to think he was above everyone else in looks and talent.
"Er..Yeah, yeah its ok." Hermione replied.
"So…you go here, or…?" He raised his eyebrows.
"No, no I go somewhere else."
"Where?" he asked somewhat casually.
Hermione didn't feel like saying she went to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry so she said; "Oxford."
"Oxford?" The guy seemed confused. "Thats that really posh kids school."
"Yes I know." Hermione said defensively.
"Well, don't you need like, top marks to get in?"
"…And you don't think I'm capable of getting top marks?" She snapped.
The guy seemed to sense she was pissed, so he hurriedly said; "I'm Alex by the way."
Hermione looked at him curiously before replying; "Hermione" curtly.
They nodded their heads awkwardly and smiled weakly. Eventually the Alex slopped off, and Hermione was able to occupy herself with her thoughts in peace. Well not peace, as the music was so loud, the frat house was positively vibrating with the noise, and also because less than a minute after Alex had gone, Katherine took his place.
"What're doing!?" She half screamed over the pounding music.
Hermione Looked at her irritably. "What?"
"You just had a brainless frat guy, who you could've compelled, and yet you let him go!" Katherine flicked Hermione on the head hard. "I thought you were the brightest witch of your age?"
"Who told you that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Never mind who told me! Come on!" She grabbed Hermione by the arm and dragged her over to by the food table. "Find someone, anyone, you want to eat. Oh, and I recommend a guy, they'll be more willing to come along with you." She winked, let go of Hermione's arm, and pretend to engage in conversation with a girl dressed as a zombie, though listening intently to Hermione.
Hermione sighed and swung her arms, spinning around, scanning the room for Alex. She couldn't find him, so she set her sights on a handsome looking guy, with dirty blond hair and dressed as batman.
She tossed her head, like she'd seen girls on tv do just before they were about to go and talk to their crush, and felt extremely stupid. She exhaled loudly, and walked over to Batman, who was picking candy of the lush looking cupcakes. She tried to do a sexy walk, but some high school kids who looked about 15, shouted at her; Wigglebum!" and she abandoned the attempt.
"Sooo…" She was the exact same height as Batman, so her eyes were level with his, but he was wearing a stupid batman mask, which would complicate things when it came to compulsion.
Batman turned around, and his eyes widened at the sight of Hermione in her sexy outfit. Hermione didn't like him looking at her like that, but she kept smiling, and even twirled her hair with her finger.
"Enjoying the party?" She said playfully.
"Uh…hell yeah!" He raised his cup of punch and took a generous gulp. He smirked.
"So…are you part of this Fraternity?" She tried to do that thing that Katherine often did, where she looked up from underneath her eyelashes, but she was pretty sure it didn't have nearly half of the effect it did when she did it. Nevertheless Batman seemed to like it.
"No…but I want to!" Batman gave a thumbs up.
"Ugh, what a douche." Hermione thought.
"Hm! Well, are you going to let me see what lies underneath that cute little mask of yours?" She nodded to the mask on his face.
His smirk increased. "Well, I think you'll need to earn that." The flirty tone in his voice was obvious.
Hermione didn't fell like smiling now. "Just take the fucking thing off!" She wanted to scream. But she didn't, instead she stepped closer, and put her lips close to his ear.
"Oh, but I don't have time to earn it…come on, take it off." She whispered softly.
Batman looks dazed for a minute, but quickly composed himself. Hermione had to admit, this was actually kind of fun.
"If I do, what do I get in reward?" He asked playfully.
Hermione couldn't believe his forwardness. She'd never met anyone this forward, except for maybe Katherine. Without answering, she turned and slowly walked round the corner. When he didn't follow, she poked her head round the wall, and beckoned to him with her finger.
"Follow me." She mouthed, smirking.
His reaction to that was priceless. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped, in shock, and he quickly look over his shoulder as though expecting someone else to follow her.
She began to walk again, and she could hear him quickly following too. She led him to an empty room, that was locked so she guessed the owner didn't want drunk kids to puke in here or make out. She quickly broke the handle with her vampire strength and led Batman in. After Hermione and closed the door, Batman immediately moved over to her and tried to kiss her. Hermione quickly grabbed him around the neck and slammed him against the door. She bared her fangs and sunk them deep into his neck. He shouted at first and tried to push her off, but was unsuccessful. Slowly he stopped screaming, and became limp, but Hermione didn't stop drinking. She knew what would happen if she kept feeding, but she didn't care. Who cared if she killed someone once or twice? Katherine had done it, and surely Stefan had. She continued to drink, until the blood came no more. When she let go of him, he sunk to the floor and didn't move.
Hermione snatched the mask off his head and grinned. His eyes were wide open and staring, though there were no gleam in them. She turned the mask over in her hands.
"There's your reward." She whispered softly, before the door opened and in walked Katherine.
She looked down at dead Batman and back at Hermione, who now had blood dripping down her chin and onto her new clothes. Hermione grinned at her, and slowly Katherine grinned back.
