~~ DISCLAIMER ~~ I OWN NOTHING
My hearing became clearer and clearer, although all I could see was blackness, I could hear everything. Four heartbeats, beating loudly like four loud movement of some fabric. The footsteps of someone walking down a staircase. The wind rusting the tree's outside.
I opened my eyes. Everything was so clear and sharp. The sunlight streaming through the windows, the dust in the air, the small details on the cement roof. I took in a deep breath. Big Mistake. The smell of something so sweet and delicious made my throat burn. I wanted to taste it, so badly. Air ran up my throat, slithering through my clenched teeth with a low, menacing growl. I jumped of the bed with an incredible speed, everything should have been a blur. But it wasn't. I saw every detail, the beds in the rest of the room, the cupboard of medical supplies in the corner and the ant crawling up the side of a wall. My eyes laid I on the four occupants of the room. People I never wanted to see again in my life. But there they were, standing right in front of me, with an anxious yet disturbed expression on all of their faces. They were the faces of Professor Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall as well as Madame Promfery. I was studying their faces as well as trying to distinguish where that lovely smell was coming from, when someone spoke.
"Hermione?" asked Professor Dumbledore
"Yes" I said in a scarce voice
"I know everything is a bit different now, but you're alright, every things fine" he said
"What happened?" I asked
"Well, my child, this may come as a bit of a shock to you, but you were bitten ... "
"By what?" I asked afraid to know the answer
"A vampire" said Snape. Then everything came rushing back to me. The mysterious figure in the alleyway following me. Me fastening my pace to get away. It grabbing me and apparating me away. Him biting into my neck. The pain, and then nothing.
"No" I whispered. I then remembered the burning in my throat and the sweet delicious smell, it was overpowering me. I wanted to taste it so badly. The pounding in my head to go and drink it all up, taste the sweet delicious taste. I was giving into temptation. I made a low menacing growl and tensed up. The four others in the room seemed to notice the change in my posture and took a few cautious steeps back. Dumbledore made a swish of his wand making a jug of blood appear in front of me. Without hesitation I grabbed it and started drinking it all down. After it was empty, which was a matter of seconds, I still craved more but that blood pushed the uncomfortable, burning ache away in my throat. I felt horrible with myself, I would have to kill to survive, take another persons life in order to maintain mine. What creature on Earth would want a life like this? I would see the fear in the person's face before I lashed out and drank all their blood, I would be taking away mother's, father's, brother's, sister's, aunt's, uncle's and grandparent's. My face must have gave it all away to the rest of the occupants in the room. I hung my head in shame.
"Miss Granger, what you are thinking is not all the case" said Professor Snape
"What do you mean?" I asked
"What I mean is that, no, you do not have to kill human beings in order to survive" he said
"Yes I do, I need to, human food will do noting to satisfy my hunger"
"Ahh yes please note what I said Miss Granger" he said with a smirk on his face. I thought back. He said human blood... which means I will still be drinking blood but not human's. I looked up at Professor Snape and asked
"Can I really survive on animal blood"
"Yes, yes you can, although it is not as sweet and as tasteful as human blood, it will satisfy your hunger" Professor Snape said
"Hermione, may I suggest that you go and hunt now as we have a lot to discuss and I doubt that you will be able to while hungry" said Dumbledore
"Of course, although the only animals around here are magical" I said
"Yes they may be magical but they will have no affect to you. Except the unicorns, please do not feed on them" he said
"Okay"
"And when you are done, please come to my office as we have a lot to discuss" Dumbledore said while we started to walk out of the hospital wing.
"Yes Professor" I said
"Well run along now, and go and discover your new ... abilities shall I say" he said with a twinkle in his eye
"With pleasure" I said and ran out of the castle and into the forest with an inhuman speed.
