a/n- I don't own anything except the plot.

Once she made her way back to the common room she collapsed in a chair, her mind and body were both exhausted. Her body was screaming at her to get some sleep and her mind was spinning from the conversation that she just had. She had never opened herself up to someone like that. Hopefully he would keep his mouth shut she had did what he asked she told him things that were personal about herself just like he had to her. Now they were even neither one of them would tell what they knew.

'Suppose I should start my homework, don't want to give Snape an excuse to give me another detention. Once she spread out all her assignments, she figured to start with her potions homework since that took the longest. When she started to read her eyes were so tired that the words were blurred. She rubbed her eyes a few times and proceeded to do her homework, once she was done with potions she breezed through charms and transfiguration. By the time she was done she had twenty minutes to get to detention. She gathered all her books and put them away in her room, when she came back to the common room Harry, Ron, and Hermione had just entered the room.

"Hey"

"Hey" replied Harry.

"What have you guys been up to?" Carmilla asked as she plopped down on the nearest couch.

"We actually just came from the library, and did our homework" Harry said

"Hermione made us we wanted to relax but know the human bookworm couldn't see us relax for one minute" Ron said sarcastically.

"Honestly Ron if I didn't constantly remind you, you would be begging to copy mine because you waited until the last minute to do it. How are you going to learn anything if I allow you to copy my work instead of doing your own" Hermione huffed. Carmilla raised her eyebrow and shot Harry a look " She's been like this since first year, Ron and I think she's gotten worse we think she's over studious.

"I see well that's my cue to exit, there's a detention in the dungeons with my name on it. I don't want to be late or knowing my luck I'll get another" Carmilla said as she quickly ran out of the room. She always seemed to make friends with the strange ones, she kept on hearing around school that Harry was the boy who lived and Hermione was really a bookworm. She'd have to ask Harry about the whole boy who lived thing since she had no clue. Soon her mind wandered from school to the letter her mother had sent her, with classes and detention she completely spaced it out. How silly of her how could she let herself forget that her lunatic for a father was looking for her. Why she had no idea you would think he would be happy that she was gone, one less thing he had to worry about. As far back as she could remember she always felt like he knew something about her something that made him keep her no matter how much of a nuisance she was to him. He always held back his temper she wished she knew why, hopefully someday she would know. Little did she know there was an owl with all her answers waiting in her room for her. She had no idea the events that were about to take place in her life. As she was daydreaming she walked directly into someone.

"I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going, how clumsy of me." Carmilla apologized.

"It's no problem it looks like your mind was elsewhere" Draco said sidiously.

"Oh its you, yeah I was just wondering what Snape's going to have us do tonight. Knowing him probably disemboweling something." Carmilla said as she shuddered at the thought of disemboweling anything.

"Yeah if he's in a pretty foul mood, we're screwed." Draco said as he walked along side her.

"Either way we're screwed I keep getting less and less sleep as the days go by."Carmilla huffed.

"Yeah me-"

"Carmilla!"

Carmilla turned around quickly to see Hermione racing for her, she looked at Malfoy then at Hermione and tried to figure out how to explain why she was walking with him and they looked like well they were having a friendly conversation.

"What, why are you running like a bat out of hell?" Carmilla asked incredulously.

"This letter came for you, its urgent this bird made a really big fuss and wouldn't just leave the letter until I told it I would give it to you right now. So I had to so that I could get piece of mind and finish my homework in silence." Hermione huffed as she stormed away.

"Looks like she'll be mad at me for a little while but I'll worry about that later, hmm looks like a letter from my mom" Carmilla muttered as she tore open the envelope. When she read the letter she wished that the world would just end right at this very minute. All the color drained out of her face well what little color she did have in her face. She looked like she was about to cry.

"What's the matter?" Draco asked uncertainly.

Before she could answer Snape entered the classroom by the look on his face he didn't look like he was in a good mood.

"Since the both of you have detention for the next three days, there's a problem I must go away for the next week. So that means you will have to serve all three detentions tonight, so I hope your both very well rested its going to be a long night." Snape sneered. Draco and Carmilla glanced at each other with a look of horror in their eyes. This was going to be an all night detention, they would be the walking dead tomorrow.

"But professor we have lessons tomorrow if we don't get any sleep how will we ever pay attention." Draco stuttered.

"That's not my problem, the both of you were the ones that felt the need to open your mouths and be insubordinate in my class.Now you have to suffer the consequences of your actions. You have two tasks that you must accomplish before you will be dismissed, the first is you are to organize all of the ingredients in my stock. They are to be relabeled and organized alphabetically. For your second task you will cleaning the trophy room and polishing all the trophies. It seems that Peeves has been rather naughty again" Snape drawled.

Carmilla and Draco just stood there with their mouths hanging open, how could he possible get away with this. There has to be some rule that says all night detention is not allowed. At the moment though they didn't have a choice, they had to serve this detention.

"Now if you excuse me I have some homework to correct. Once you are finished please knock on the door of my personal chambers so that I may dismiss you." Snape said slyly as he left the room.

"I don't understand how he can get away with this, I mean keeping students all night for a detention. That's absolutely ludicrous tomorrow we will be fighting to stay awake or falling asleep every chance we get. How are we supposed to learn anything if we're too tired to concentrate. I have half a mind to ask McGonagall if what he's doing is breaking any rules." Carmilla said her voice full of frustration.

"You'd better not or else you will be punished even more if she says something to Snape about it. But if you want to spend the rest of your life in detention go ahead be my guest." Draco said.

"You do have a point there, so I guess I'll have to keep my mouth shut." Carmilla said with a hint of defeat in her voice.

"What was on that letter that Granger gave you, after you read it you looked like you were about to pass out." Draco questioned.

"It's none of your business, I don't want to talk about it" Carmilla said curtly.

"Now that's not very fair you know a lot of things about me why can't you just tell me what it said. It can't be that bad." Draco said calmly.

"Can't be that bad, fine then you want to be so nosey have at it. Read for yourself" she huffed as she pulled the piece of parchment out of her pocket and shoved it into his hands.

Dear Carmilla,

I hope your doing good in all your lesson and your adjusting well at school. But unfortunately I wish this letter could just be a nice letter from a mother to her daughter asking about school. But you know that is not what it is about, when I wrote to you earlier I had no idea what your father was up to. But now I do this came as a shock to me when I found out, so it would probably be best if you sat down. The reason why your father stole you from me when you were born was because he found out about a prophecy that included you. That is why he kept you with him so that he could keep an eye on you. He knew that if you stood with me, I would send you to Hogwarts after your eleventh birthday. Your probably wondering what does that have to do with anything. I was able to find the actual text of the prophecy which is as follows:

Quo infans quis was natus a duo validus sanugis linea voluntas cadere in amor apud quo dragon a quo domus de quo serpens. Quo coniugium de these duo voluntas significare quo obitus de quo septem animas. Quo par voluntas ferre a infans ille voluntas repraesentare quo potestas de duo admodum adversus sanguis lunea. Quo coniugium mustum esse complered ante quo luna plena deperires on quo infans' septimus natalis, aut alioqui omnis voluntas esse amissus.

I didn't have enough time to translate it all for you but it basically says that you are destined to marry someone in Hogwarts and bear a child. Once you are married, you and your husband will defeat the seven spirits. That's why your father didn't want me to raise you he knew that when you attended school that is when you would meet who you were destined to marry and that would mean his demise. He figured if you were with him, you would never see Hogwarts and so the prophecy could never happen.I'm sure there are plenty of books in the library to help to figure out what the prophecy says in more detail. It should tell you what house your future husband is in, it will make it somewhat easier. I know that this is a lot take in all at once, I wish that their was something that I could do. But this is your future there is no changing it so you must deal with it and move on. I know that it may sound cruel but its what you have to do, you know how your father is if he isn't stopped many people will perish.

Love,

your mother

"What does this mean?" Draco asked as he handed the letter back to Carmilla

"It basically means that I have to marry before the full moon sets on my seventeenth birthday or else all will be lost. When it usually says all will be lost probably means a lot of deaths and torture. Basically I have a lot of stress resting on my shoulders right now." Carmilla said softly.

"But what does the whole passage actually say it must tell you the house that your future husband is in." Draco asked.

"Lucky for me I learned how to translate latin, that's probably the only good thing I learned from my dad." She took the parchment from him and began slowly translating reading as she was doing so.

"It basically says the child who was born from two powerful bloodlines, which would be me. Will fall in love with the dragon from the house of the serpent. The union of these two will signify the demise of the seven spirits. The couple will bear a child that will embody the power of two very opposite bloodlines. The union must be completed before the full moon disappears on the child's seventeenth birthday, or else all will be lost." Carmilla said as she shoved the parchment back into her pocket and continued with relabeling the ingredients.

"I'm sure you know exactly what that all means, now the question is are you going to tell me"

"Oh fine if you must know basically I'm going to marry someone from your house, becasue it says the house of the serpent and what is the symbol of slytherin..."

"A serpent" Draco finished.

"I'm destined to marry a pureblood, to make the most powerful union in the wizarding and vampire world. Once I bear a child, my child will embody all the powers of a vampire and all the magic of a pureblood wizard. My child will do great things with such power, if taught correctly" Carmilla said.

"Wow that's a lot to deal with, I thought my father getting me to marry Pansy because she's from a well respected pureblood family was bad but I think your situation is worse."

"As you can see I have a little bit more stress to deal with than most teenagers in this school." Carmilla said lightly.

" So when is your seventeenth birthday?"

"May 31st" Carmilla replied

"So that means I only have eight months to find out who this guy is, fall in love with him then get him to propose marriage to me. That should be a piece of cake" Carmilla said sarcastically.

"Well if it makes you feel better I could start looking into all the guys that are in slytherin for you. See who looks like they could possibly be loveable" Draco said oddly. " That didn't sound right what just came out of my mouth did it?" he asked with a laugh.

"No it just wan't worded correctly, but it's okay you don't have to do that for me. It might look a little odd if you start asking some odd questions. I can hear you now so what do you think about vamires, don't you think their just the sexiest creatures. You may get a few strange looks from people."

"I probably would everyone in my house would probably think I went mental or something."

"Yeah now let's get back to work so that we can move onto the next task. I already finished labeling all the ingredients, all we have to do is put them in alphabetical order and we're done." Carmill said.

Then finished putting the ingredients in alphabetical order and proceeded to the trophy room. When they walked in and surveyed the damage they knew that they would be here all night.

"We better get started, I'll wash off all the black ink and you can start scraping the gum off the walls and tropy case. Why in the hell does Dumbledore let Peeves stay here if he causes so much damage." Draco asked in disgust.

"He probably figures that their will always be some students who disobey the rules, hence letting Peeves stay so that those disobedient students can clean up after Peeves." Carmilla said as a matter a factly.

"That is a good point"

Draco quickly began washing down all the walls that had ink smeared on them, while Carmilla scraped the chewing gum. As they worked time just flew by before they knew it they were finished cleaning and it was six o'clock in the morning. Snape appeared once they had finished and dismissed them.

"This is just great I have just enough time to go shower and change my clothes before breakfast. I don't even have enough time for a power nap, how am I ever going to get through this day" Carmilla whined.

"I know I feel like the walking dead, I'm so screwed when I get to McGonagall's class because there is no way I'll be able to sleep in there, she won't let me."

"I know how you feel, we just have to think positive." Carmilla said

"You have got to be joking, you must be delirious from sleep deprivation."

"I probably am pretty soon I'll start mumbling incoherently." Carmilla said with a laugh.

" Well I guess I'll see you in Potions which will be in like an hour and a half.

"Try to keep quiet so that Snape doesn't have any reason to give you a detention" Draco said.

"I'll be too tired to talk I'll be lucky if I can keep my eyes open let alone talk" Carmilla said as they parted ways to get to their common room.

"See you in class" She said as she waved goodbye to him.

"Later" he replied.

While Draco was making is way to his common room his mind wandered back to the prophecy. I wonder if she knows that my name means dragon, I'm sure if she did she would have mentioned something. So that means she must not know, so many thoughts began to race through his mind was he the one destined to be her future husband. These thoughts continued to plague his mind, little did he know that in the gryffindor girls' dormitory Carmilla pondered the same thing. She wondered did he know that he could possibly be her future husband because as far as she knew prophecies don't lie.
