Chapter 5

Classes

"Where did you get that?" Professor Snape asked, grabbing my hand, as he handed me my schedule. I stared at him. "Where did you get it?" He repeated, glaring at me.

"E-Elijah gave it to me. He was one of the men in the Three Broomsticks the day I met you." I said, trying to tug my hand back.

He stared at the ring, and rubbed his thumb over it. "Please don't lose it." He whispered.

"I won't sir." I said, looking at him dumbfounded, as he walked away to hand out more schedules.

"What was that about?" Draco asked, as I sat back down at the table.

"I don't really I know." I said, still slightly confused.

"Ugh! I had the worst dream last night!" Pansy cried, as she slammed her bag on the table, spilling pumpkin juice everywhere. "I dreamed that there was something chasing me. I couldn't see it, because I was surrounded by fog, but I knew if it caught me it would hurt me. I was in a forest, and just kept running and running. It was horrible." She said, buttering her toast.

I snickered. Damon can do a lot worse than that, so watch what you say to me. It will only get worse if you don't.

"Something funny, Blood-traitor?" Daphne asked.

That's not helping. "Nope. I'm just studying my schedule."

"Stop calling her that." Draco said.

"No Draco, don't worry about it. Let them keep digging their own graves. I find it quite funny actually."

He snickered, then suddenly the great hall was filled with owls. I scanned the ceiling looking for Peck, our family owl. Hey don't look at me, Stefan named him! He spotted me first though, and swooped down and landed beside me. He was a pure black owl with white tipped wings, and he dropped four letters onto my plate.

"Aww, thanks Peck." I said, giving him some of my toast. "Here I have one for you. Just deliver it whoever you see first." I reached into my bag, and pulled out the letter telling the boys about dinner and family days, handed it to him, and watched as he soared out the window. Now which one to read first? I chose the letter from Elijah.

Lynn,

There really isn't much to tell. As a child, I told Salazar many times that I liked it. He even let me wear it sometimes, so one day he just gave it to me. Salazar told me that one day I would find someone special to give it too, but he also said to give it only to a Slytherin, and I can think of no one more special to give it too, than you. Consider it a family heirloom. The ring is protected by a spell, from theft and from being lost, so if you were to lose it, it would find you. I hope you have a good day at school and don't let those girls get you down. You are not a Blood-traitor. Salazar wouldn't have considered you one. We will take care of them. Oh, and we don't care who you tell about us. Tell them we are vampires, or don't. Either way they will find out. And soon.

Love,

Elijah

What does he mean by "and soon"? I grinned, and opened Klaus's letter.

Love,

I will eat them, just say the word, and I will make their life hell. I know Damon was only playing with her last night, but I'll make it real. You are not a Blood-traitor. As you know, I knew Salazar, and even he would agree with me. Just keep your head down. Let us deal with them.

Love,

Your Hybrid

I laughed, this was getting funnier by the minute, and I knew they would make good on their threats. I opened Stefan's next.

Lynn,

Don't listen to a damn thing they say, they don't know what you know, and they can't do the things you can do. Hex them if you get a chance. You are NOT a Blood-traitor. And don't worry, we have a plan.

Love,

Stefan

I snorted. Stefan may be sweet, but like I've always said, he has a mischievous side to him. If you make him angry, you will pay. Then I opened Damon's letter.

Princess,

Those stupid little…witches, will pay. I promise. Don't give them another thought. Let us deal with them. You are NOT a blood-traitor. I hope that one girl said something about the dream I gave her, and rest assured, they will only get worse if she doesn't stop.

Love,

Damon

P.S. Tell Blondie to lay off the peroxide.

I burst out laughing. Peroxide! That is so Damon! I placed my letters onto my now empty plate and set them on fire, as I promised I would. I got funny looks but I didn't care, I was in too good a mood.

"So did your fake vampire family write bad things about me?" Pansy snorted.

"Nope, they just said, they hope I have a good day at school."

"Pansy lay off, you would feel stupid if it turned out they were vampires." Draco said.

"For the last time Draco, she's lying! They were in direct sunlight! Vampires can't walk in sunlight! They would be fried!" Pansy said, exasperated.

Ha! Fried Hybrid! I snorted.

"What?" She asked, frowning. "What is so funny?"

"Nothing." I said snickering. "Draco, I'll see you in History of Magic."

"Wait, I'll go with you, you don't know the way, so I'll show you."

Pansy gave me a look that could kill an elephant, and Crabbe and Goyle got up when Draco did, even though they looked like they wanted to finish eating first. We made our way to the classroom, and honestly I thought it was a semi-interesting class. It was neat being taught by a ghost, but seriously I think Elijah would have been better at teaching it. Professor Binns droned on and on about giant wars, and told us it would be part of our O.W.L.S. at the end of the year, so I knew I'd need Elijah's help anyway. Our second class of the day however, was potions, and it was a double class with the Gryffindors. It was also my first class with Harry Potter.

"Blasted Potter." Draco mumbled with a scowl. "Are you familiar with him in America?"

I nodded. "Yeah we know a little bit about him, but probably not as much as you guys do. We had heard the he defeated Whats-His-Doodle a few months ago, and of course we know what happened to him when he was little. I feel a little sorry for him to be honest, because my parents were killed when I was only three weeks old. I know a little more about him though, because I'm friends with his Godfather Sirius, and Remus."

Draco snorted. "Whats-His-Doodle?" I just shrugged. "Well I can say, I understand about your parents, and you feeling sorry for him in that way, but I don't like him. He nearly got my father thrown in Azkaban last year, because he named him as one of the Death Eaters in the graveyard. I've never liked him, to be honest, but it doesn't surprise me that you are friends with Sirius Black, or Professor Lupin."

"Was your father in the graveyard?"

Draco nodded, "Lots of our fathers were." He said waving around to Crabbe, Goyle, and some of the others. "You'll find that most in Slytherin are dark witches and wizards. That's why our house is so tight-knit, for the most part. We don't usually make friends in other houses."

"Well I've seen my fair share of dark magic before, and have had to use it against people, both magic and muggle, but dark magic will chew you up, and spit you out, if you let it consume your whole life. It doesn't play nice, or fair, and if you're not careful, it will slowly kill you from the inside out. Hate is the same way, I believe. I've always looked at hate as being a type of dark magic."

Draco looked at me thoughtfully. "You're different, you're not afraid to say what you believe in."

"So you wouldn't hate me if I suddenly became best friends with Harry Potter?" I asked grinning.

Draco laughed, "No, because like I said, you're different, and you could get away with it. I like you, you seem to be a true friend, to those who do right by you. I believe you by the way, about your family being vampires. I don't know how they can walk in the sun, but I believe you anyway."

"Miss Salvatore also gives out good advice, Mr. Malfoy. It will behoove you to heed it." Professor Snape said, suddenly appearing behind us. How does he do that!?

We grinned sheepishly and scurried into the potions classroom, and took our seats. Pansy, Millicent, and Daphne gave me scowls.

"Blood-traitors belong on the other side of the room." Daphne said, pointing to the Gryffindor side, and they all shot her nasty glances.

"I told you NOT to call her that." Draco shouted.

"That's enough." Professor Snape said sternly. "Now who can tell me about moonstones?" he asked. They can be used in dark curses, binding the werewolf side of an Original Vampire.

A bushy haired girl on the Gryffindor side of the room raised her hand. "Anyone else?" Professor Snape asked, ignoring the girl. "Miss Salvatore? Perhaps you could tell us something?"

"Uh…um," I shot a look of apology toward the girl, and she looked at me in surprise. "Moonstones are common gems, and aren't worth very much, but if you ground them into powder they make useful potion ingredients. Particularly in the Draught of Peace potion."

He looked at me impressed. "Very good Miss Salvatore. Five points for Slytherin." Thank you Stefan!

I gave the girl another look of apology, but she smiled at me, so I smiled back.

"The Draught of Peace is exactly what we will be brewing today. Please take out your books, and turn to page 54. Take a few minutes to read about the potion, and become familiar with the instructions."

We did as we were told, and I read through the instructions, even though I already knew how to brew it.

"That's Hermione Granger." Draco whispered, pointing to the bushy haired girl. "She's the smartest girl in our year. She's also a know-it-all. She always knows the answer to everything, and she lives in the library." He said, rolling his eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with being smart." I whispered back.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree, but she makes a habit out of showing it off. Don't worry you will see for yourself."

Time went by fast after that, because we were concentrating on our potions. I brewed mine perfectly though, and I give all the thanks to Stefan for that. He is the one that taught me everything I know about potions, because he is the better one at them. Damon is best at spells and curses, and doesn't really care for them, but he will brew them if he has too.

"Well so far my first day hasn't been so bad." I said as Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and I sat down at the lunch table. Pansy and her friends were already there.

"Yeah you did really good in potions class." Crabbe commented. "Could you help me with my potions essay?"

"Sure, as long as you don't have me do all the work." I said with a grin.

"Professor Snape was really impressed. I could tell." Draco said.

"Oh, let's just fawn all over the blood-traitor." Millicent said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah Draco, I'm starting to think you really like this girl." Daphne said. "What would your father say about you liking a Blood-traitor?"

"He would kill him." Pansy remarked, staring daggers at me. "For your own safety Draco, ditch the Blood-traitor."

Draco gripped his fork tight in his hand, and gritted his teeth. "Stop calling her a that!" he suddenly yelled.

Just then Pansy, Daphne, and Millicent let out blood curdling screams, jumped up, and pointed to their plates.

"I have maggots in my rice pudding!" Pansy yelled.

"My salad has roaches in it!" Daphne cried.

"My spaghetti is full of worms!" Millicent screamed.

I snorted, because there was nothing wrong with their food. I looked up, and sure enough there was the crow. Sending them hallucinations! Nice one Damon!

"There is nothing there!" Draco yelled. "Honestly you three are starting to get on my nerves. Is it your time of the month?" he shouted, making everyone in the great hall stop eating to look at us.

"Maybe they just want attention." I said, trying not to laugh my butt off, because they were making quite a scene.

"But look, there, they are right there!" Pansy screamed. "Right there!" She jabbed her finger at the pudding.

I took my spoon and dug around in her pudding. "I don't see anything." Then I took a large spoonful, and ate it. She looked at me horrified. "Nope still nothing there." I said, making a point to squish it between my teeth, and swallowing. "Seems perfectly fine."

Remus came walking over to our table. "What is going on?" he asked.

"None of your business werewolf." Pansy spat.

I narrowed my eyes at her, and answered, "They are apparently seeing bugs in their food. We however, think they are going nuts, because there isn't anything there."

"There're gone!" Millicent breathed raggedly, staring at her plate in disbelief. "There're gone."

Just then the crow squawked high over head. We all looked up as it took flight, and landed next to Daphne's salad. I laughed as it started eating the lettuce. I looked at Remus, and I could tell he was trying to play the 'Professor' angle, because he was doing his best not to laugh.

"Well, if there're gone, then I guess I'll let you get back to your lunch." He said with a smile, and walked away.

"You get those bad ol' roaches Mr. Crow!" I said, patting his head with a laugh.

Draco snorted, but Pansy and the other two girls looked at me with hatred. "We have to get to D.A.D.A" Pansy snapped, grabbing her bag, and they stomped out of the great hall.

I sat back down to finish my lunch. "Tell him, 'good one' for me." I said to the crow, and watched as it took flight, and flew out the window.

Draco looked at me with his mouth gaping open. "D-did that crow….?"

I nodded.

He grinned at me, then turned to Crabbe and Goyle, "You two stay here, I'm want to show her something."

They were all to happy with this decision. Man, those guys can eat a lot!

I found myself in the dungeons, in a room that I didn't know was there until Draco opened the hidden door, and I stared at the painting of the man before me. He really does look like a monkey!

"Salazar meet Lynn Salvatore, Lynn, Salazar Slytherin." Draco said, as the man in the painting smiled down at me. "No one ever comes down here, but I found it by accident second year. He has helped me through a lot. I wanted to let you know about him, because I trust you."

"Hello Mr. Slytherin." I said meekly.

"Hello child. Draco told me this morning that you have something that use to belong to me." He said holding up his hand. He was wearing the same ring I was.

I looked at Draco.

"I noticed it this morning, and recognized it instantly. That's why I believe you about your family, because I asked him about the ring, and he said he had given it to someone long ago." He explained, waving toward the painting.

I laughed. "That's so very Slytherin of you Draco!"

Salazar laughed too. "Yes it was. Now tell me Lynn, how did you come by my ring?"

"Elijah Mikaelson gave it to me sir."

"Elijah himself? How is the lad these days?"

"Alive and well sir." I said with a laugh.

"Well if I remember correctly, I told him to give the ring to someone special to him. I see he has."

"Yes sir." Why does Draco looked confused?

"Draco, has also told me you are having problems with some in the House. How do you feel about it?"

"Honestly sir, I could care less. They call me a blood-traitor because I was raised in the muggle world, and like muggle things. But Elijah and Klaus say I'm not, and since they knew you sir, I'm inclined to believe them over anyone else."

"Yes, that word has lost its original meaning these days." He said dryly. "When I invented the word it meant, that you actually told the muggles about us, where to find us, and how to kill us, in exchange for your own life. THAT'S what it means to be a Blood-traitor!" He shouted. But then he smiled. "Listen to Elijah and Niklaus child, they know what's right."

"Isn't Klaus your boyfriend?" Draco asked grinning.

I popped him on the shoulder, and blushed. "Yes." I said grinning.

Salazar laughed, "How is Niklaus?"

"He's fine sir, he broke the curse though, about a year ago. So he is a full Hybrid now." I said, and Draco looked at me curiously.

"Really!?" He said with a laugh. "Tell him I'm proud of him. So I take it he found the moonstone then?"

"Yes sir. He found his werewolf, vampire, and the moonstone, and broke the curse."

"Well like I said, tell him I'm proud of him, and tell them both I said hello."

"I will sir."

"Now it seems that the bell is going to ring soon so you two best be off. Come back and see me when you get a chance."

"We will!" We cried together, as we walked out the door.

Wow, I never thought I would actually ever talk to the man himself!

"VAMPIRES!" Remus shouted, making us all jump, "are nasty creatures."

"And werewolves smell funny!" I retorted.

"Vampires reek of blood!"

"Werewolves are covered in fleas!"

"Vampires will plunge their hands into your chest, and rip your hearts out!"

"And werewolves poop in the forest!" I said grinning.

"Yes we do." He said, pointing his wand at me, and laughing merrily.

Draco and I had barely made it to our first lesson of D.A.D.A though. We came in running, huffing, and puffing all the way from the dungeons, and we burst into the classroom just as the tardy bell rang. Pansy and her friends were red faced with anger, and the rest of the class shared those kinds of glances. Now the class was looking back and forth between Remus, and I, dumbfounded and confused by our playful bantering. We were in a double class with the Gryffindors again, and they didn't know whether to get angry at my comments to Remus, or laugh at them. They just didn't know about my boys and Remus.

"But seriously, vampires are strong enough to plunge their hands through your chest, and rip your hearts out, so don't be fooled. Now, I know we covered vampires very briefly, back in third year, but seeing as they are on your O.W.L.S, we will be reviewing them in depth, for the next three classes. Now, who can tell us about them?"

Hermione raised her hand, and Remus called on her. "Vampires drink blood, are allergic to garlic, wrong, crosses, wrong, and can't be in the sunlight, because they will burst into flames." Wrong, sorta.

I shook my head, and Draco leaned over to me and whispered, "See I told you."

"That's not why I shook my head." I muttered.

"Lynn?" Remus asked. "Is she right?"

"This is actually the second time something like this has happened to us today." I said pointing to Hermione and me. "Professor Snape did it earlier."

"Well I'm sorry, but you shook your head, so I have to ask. Is she right?"

I shook my head. "No sir. Vampires can eat garlic, and wear crosses if they want to."

"They can?" Hermione asked loudly. "Are you sure? Because I've read that they are allergic to garlic and crosses."

"It's a myth. My cousin Damon, will eat garlic bread just to prove a point. They can, and do, eat regular food just like we can. Their bodies function just like ours do, as long as they have enough fresh blood in their system to digest it."

Remus looked at me for a minute, then asked, "Do they go to the bathroom?"

"Yes." I said with a grin.

Draco laughed, "Really?"

"Now THAT I didn't know." Remus said. "Can you tell us anything else interesting?"

Aside from all the wizard stuff, what's basic that all vampires can do? "Um, hmm. Oh! When a vampire has a really strong emotion, their face will go pale. That leads to their eyes turning blood red, and blood vessels form around them, and then their teeth grow into fangs."

"What kind of emotions?" A red haired boy named Ron asked me.

"Love, anger, hunger. They have all the same emotions we do. It's just theirs are more intense, because vampires have heighted emotions. For instance, if we get angry, we shout, yell, that sort of thing, but when a vampire gets angry, they will kill you. And they are sadistic about it. They love to play with their food before they eat it."

Ron paled. "I don't want to make a vampire angry then."

I laughed. "No, trust me, you don't."

"A werewolf bite can kill a vampire. I remember that from third year. AND there is no cure." Pansy said, with a smug expression.

Remus grinned at me and said, "I'm not touching that one. You tell them, if you want."

Do I, or don't I? I rubbed my hands on my face, stared up at the ceiling, and sighed. "That was true then, but it's not anymore. A Hybrid's blood will heal a vampire who has been bitten by a werewolf."

"A Hybrid?" Harry Potter asked.

"Yes. A Hybrid is an Original Vampire and a werewolf. He is not bound by the sun, nor the moon. He has the strength of both yet none of their weaknesses, and he can change into a werewolf whenever he wants to. There is only one Hybrid in the world." No names, there I feel better.

"And I'm jealous, because it's not me." Remus laughed, and so did the rest of us.

"An Original!" Hermione exclaimed. "I've read about them! All vampires come from the Originals."

I nodded. "Yes, and they are also un-killable."

Goyle looked at me with wide eyes, "Your family really are vampires!"

I nodded, and looked at Pansy, "Yes, they are."

She rolled her eyes at me, "No they're not!" She yelled. "Your family was in direct sunlight! They would be dead!" She narrowed her eyes at me, "IF your family really are vampires, then how do they walk in the sun!?" she shouted.

"DAYLIGHT RINGS!" Damon yelled in her ear, making her scream. She jumped, and nearly fell out of her seat. He had appeared out of nowhere, and also scared the other students half to death. He looked at me and smirked, "Hello Princess."

"Hi, now go home."

"Sorry Love, we can't. We've been invited." Klaus said, appearing beside Ron, who jumped a foot into the air.

"By Remus." Stefan said, appearing at the back of the class.

"To be guest speakers." Elijah finished with a grin, and appearing beside Remus's desk.

"Remus, I suddenly feel ill, so can I go to the hospital wing?" I asked.

He laughed, "No, I think you can manage."

I looked around at them, "What did you guys do? Climb up the walls of the castle?"

They nodded. "Love, I promise we won't embarrass you to badly." Klaus said walking over to me with a grin, and kissing me on the lips.

I smiled at him, then pointed my finger at all of them, "Just remember, I will conjure toothpicks, so you better behave!" Then a I narrowed my eyes at them. "You knew about this before I left yesterday, didn't you?"

Elijah laughed. "Of course. Remus told me over the summer that the first thing he would be teaching you all, would be vampires. He asked us if we would like to come and speak about the topic."

"I hate you guys for not warning me." I said grinning, and flopping down in my seat.

Pansy was sitting in her seat, shaking like a leaf, and glancing at me and them. "So you're vampires then?"

Klaus walked over and grinned wickedly at her. "Yes." He said in a low tone.

"So are any of you an Original Vampire?" Hermione asked, with a slight squeak.

Elijah smiled at her, "Yes, I'm Elijah Mikaelson, and this is my brother Niklaus, or Klaus for short. We are the Originals. And you are…?" Elijah asked, taking her hand and lightly kissing. Typical Elijah!

"H-Hermione G-Granger sir." She said with a blush.

"Pleased to meet you Miss Granger."

"And I'm Damon Salvatore, and this is my brother Stefan. We aren't Originals, but our vampire blood line is descended from Klaus."

"Is it true that you play with your food before you eat it?" Ron asked, and suddenly looked like he wished he hadn't.

"Yes," Klaus said, "we do. And we enjoy it. You see, vampires are predatory creatures. We hunt for our food, and love torturing it, before eating it. Especially humans." He said looking at Ron, who shuddered, and looked down at his desk.

I snorted.

"For a vampire, the hunt is more enjoyable than the actual meal itself." Stefan said.

"We don't always drink from humans though." Elijah said. "We also drink from blood bags."

"What are blood bags?" Crabbe asked.

"The muggles have come up with an invention called a blood bag. They give their blood away to help others, but we, of course, have to steal them." Stefan explained. "It beats killing, or harming anyone, though we will feed from the vein from time to time."

"What kind of abilities do you have?" Harry asked.

"Super speed, super strength, fast healing, immortality, seeing in pitch black darkness, and we can hear you talking from a distance." Damon rattled off. "For instance, we live in Hogsmeade, so we can hear everything that goes on in this castle, and we can even pick out certain peoples conversations. But wizard vampires can do magic just like you can, but we can control the minds of animals. Like my friend here." He said, pointing to the crow, as he flew into the open window.

"Wizard vampires are different from regular vampires." Stefan said.

"How so?" Hermione asked, grabbing a quill and piece of parchment.

"Well, like Damon said, we can do magic just like you, but regular vampires can't." Elijah said. "Wizard vampires are dark creatures, and naturally have the ability to use dark magic that normal wizards can't. You can't control the mind of an animal, but we can. It's kinda like using the Imperius Curse. We compel the animal to do our bidding, like spying and other things, but we can't make you do anything, unless we ourselves are there to compel you. We don't need a wand to do it, and there is no way to stop us from being able to control you."

Damon smirked at Pansy. "We also can give you nightmares, control your dreams, and give you hallucinations."

"And there is no way to stop us from doing that either." Klaus said.

I glanced at Pansy and her friends. They were white as sheets.

"Can you be killed by the Killing Curse?" Harry asked.

"No, the killing curse has no effect on us, because we are, after all, already dead. The Cruciatus Curse however, will knock us down, but it won't affect us as badly as a normal person." Stefan said.

"Wizard vampires can also control the weather. We can create fog and mist, but only the really old ones like Niklaus and I, can make it rain, control lighting, and create thunderstorms." Elijah said.

"H-How old are you?" Draco asked looking at Elijah in awe.

"I am 1,030 years old, and Niklaus is 1,025 years old. We are the oldest beings walking the earth."

It looks like a light bulb went off in Draco's head.

"Stefan is 165, and I'm 170." Damon said. "We still have a ways to go."

I snorted. "I'll say."

"Princess, do you wish to add anything to the discussion?" He asked, leaning close to me.

I took my hand, squeezed his cheeks together, and kissed him on the lips. "Only that you're annoying, and that I have stabbed you a bazillion times with toothpicks." I said with a grin.

The others laughed, and Damon smirked. "Stefan, why is she so mean to me?"

"Because the two of you are exactly alike, so you fight constantly." He said laughing.

"What's a toothpick?" Ron asked.

"It's a muggle invention. A toothpick is a tiny, sharp piece of wood that muggles use to pick food out of their teeth." I said.

"Weird." Ron muttered.

"Would you like me to show you?" I asked, with an evil glint in my eye.

"Don't you even…" Damon said, grinning walking backwards.

I conjured up about thirty of them and made them attack him. The whole class was laughing as Damon ran around trying to avoid, and incinerate them.

"So what do you look like when you're all fangy and grr?" Lavender Brown asked, when the class had calmed down.

Elijah laughed, and they all vamped out. It was really funny to watch everyone's reactions. Some hid their faces, some shrieked, but most just stared at them open mouthed. Klaus though, had the best reaction, because his teeth and eyes were different.

"That's the wolf in me." He explained, walking around and showing everyone. "My blood will cure any vampire that's been bitten by a werewolf, because I'm the Hybrid. I can also do partial transformations, such as, just my eyes, just my teeth, or this…" And he grew his hands into werewolf claws. The entire class gasped and shrank back. "I would show you the full transformation, but when I change back into my human form…well let's just say…I'm a little indecent." He said with a grin.

All the girls in the class giggled, and the boys rolled their eyes and groaned.

I snorted, "Yes, then I'd have to go around and obliviate all the ladies." I said with a grin.

"Oh Love," Klaus said, transforming his hands back to normal, but keeping his eyes and teeth. "You don't have to worry about anything, I'm your Hybrid." He said softly, walking up to me and kissing me on the lips.

"Gross, no one wants to see all the lovey dovey kissy stuff." Damon said, with his usual smirk, but several girls in the class giggled.

I grinned at him. "Shut it Damon."

"So have you killed anyone?" Goyle asked.

Klaus looked at him and grinned, "Not this week, but last week I ripped someone's throat out."

I snorted, because of the look on Goyle's face was priceless.

"Remus is right about us being able to rip your heart out. I've done it a few times, but that was only because the person threatened my family, and myself." Elijah said.

"We aren't always evil though, but we can't help the fact that we are killers." Damon said. "It's just what we are."

"But it isn't all the time. We don't go out and kill someone every day. Most times we don't kill at all, we just feed multiple times, and that's usually when there is lots of blood. We, meaning, the four of us, are old enough to control ourselves. Truth be told I haven't killed anyone in over 50 years, and I mostly drink from blood bags, I haven't had fresh blood in over 3." Stefan said.

"I haven't killed anyone in about 6 months." Elijah said.

"5 months, and that's only because the thought he could harass Lynn. He wouldn't stop, so I made him stop. Before that though, it was 3 years." Damon said.

"You people caught me at a really bad time because, the last time I killed anyone was 3 weeks ago." Klaus said.

"But you had a good reason for it. He tried to shoot you." I said.

"It's true. Lynn and I had gone to London to see a movie. We came out of the theatre, and walked down the alley to apparate back home. Well some idiot guy shoves a gun in my face, and tried to steal my money. So I ate him."

The class laughed at that, and that's when the bell rang. Remus told us that we had to write a foot long essay, about vampires and their capabilities. I said goodbye to the boys, and they said they would see me on Saturday. I was so happy, and honestly I'm glad the truth came out so soon. Damon however assured me that they were not done with Pansy and the others, and told me they would still be keeping watch over me. I didn't mind though, I know most people would, but to me that just shows they care. It makes me feel safe. But I can't wait to see what Pansy is going to do!
