Chapter 6
Saturday
I got funny looks thrown my way when I stepped into the common room on Saturday morning. Professor Snape raised an eyebrow at me, but thankfully he didn't say anything. I spent an hour trying to find the perfect outfit for today. Everyone else was in their regular robes, but not me! I was tired of the stuffy old robes and was glad at my chance for freedom. I had chosen my best pair of nice fitting dark colored boot-cut jeans, and since it was still warm outside, I could get away with a green tank top that slightly showed my stomach when I moved around. I had my hair swept up into a clip, and had on black boots. Hey what did you expect, Klaus is coming!
"I didn't know you had a tattoo?" Draco said staring at me wide eyed. Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that.
"Yeah, it's a cheesy thing I got a year ago at a wizard tattoo place in Virginia. It's vampire fangs, with blood coming out of the wounds." I explained, as I gestured to my left shoulder.
Pansy scowled at me and my clothes. "Stupid muggle clothes. They are so ridiculous! You..you look stupid!"
"What are you talking about? I think she looks great!" Blaise Zabini said gawking at me.
"Careful Blaise, Klaus won't like that very much." Draco laughed, elbowing him in the ribs.
Pansy scowled. "Well I'm not scared of her half-breed boyfriend. What's he going to do to me? Nothing!"
Just then the crow squawked, and Pansy looked up nervously. Everyone in the common room was use to it by now, and they even threw bread and other food items up to it. Professor Snape didn't seem to mind either, and I was thankful. Everyone knew what it was, and what it was doing, but it still had become an unofficial House pet.
Blaise laughed, looked up and shouted, "We think she's pretty. That's all. I hope that's ok to say." And it squawked again.
I laughed, "You guys are nuts." I said grinning, and sitting down in between Goyle and Crabbe on the couch.
Pansy hadn't let up on her taunting of me, and the boys haven't done anything since the bugs in the food that day, but Damon wanted to leave it alone for now, because he wanted more time to plan something. This had only emboldened Pansy and her friends though. She thinks they were blowing smoke, but if you leave four bored vampires to brood over something like this, and they are bound to come up with something nasty. Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, and I had become really good friends though, and we were usually together in whatever we were doing. Although sometimes I'd make an appearance over at the Gryffindor table, and sit and talk with Hermione, Ron, and Harry. We had become friends too, and I was glad. Hermione was my first real friend that was a girl, and it was kinda nice. She really was a sweet person.
By now the whole school knew about the boys, but that's to be expected I guess. I didn't mind it much, but I was getting tired of people coming up to me asking if it's true they go to the bathroom. And goodness gracious! Non-stop blabber about Damon this, Klaus that, Elijah's so hot, and Stefan is such a sweetie. It was however, mostly about Damon, but honestly, he's hot, and he knows it, but they better not even THINK about Klaus! I will hex them. Stefan and Elijah have their fair share of the ladies attention too, and those who haven't seen them, which is about 99% of the school, already have their favorite vampire hottie picked out based on the descriptions of the girls who were there. Today is going to be a nightmare, Madam Pomfrey is going to be treating a lot of whiplash patients before the day is out. That's ok though, my boys are hotties!
"Are we ready to go to breakfast now?" Pansy asked rolling her eyes. "Or are you guys going to gawk at the Blood-traitor all day?"
"Gawk." Blaise said, then started laughing.
"Well, I'm getting hungry so I'm going to go." I said, then we all made our way into the great hall for breakfast.
The great hall was filled with people's families. Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, along with Pansy's parents were all ready there, and Blaise's, Crabbe's, and Goyle's, came shortly after. I could tell they were a little uncomfortable around me though, because I was the only Slytherin in muggle clothes, and they kept glancing at me.
"So, Draco has told us all about you Miss Salvatore. You seem to have made quite an impression on our son." Mr. Malfoy drawled.
Mrs. Malfoy looked at me, and set her pumpkin juice down on the table. "Yes, and I can see why. You are a very beautiful girl." Why are people always telling me that? I'm just me.
"Thank you ma'am. I'm thankful that Draco and I have become friends. He has helped me a lot this past week." And I could see Pansy roll her eyes at me.
"Your family are vampires, isn't that right?" Mr. Goyle asked. "I've never met a vampire before."
"Yes sir they are. They should be here in a little bit."
"In the daylight?" Mr. Malfoy asked in surprise. Clearly Draco hadn't told them everything.
I glanced at him.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that. Yeah they can walk around in the sun. They have daylight rings that keep them from burning. I told them that Klaus is your boyfriend, and that he's the Hybrid. I told them Elijah and him are the Originals, and that Damon controls the crow, and that Stefan is good at potions, and that he hasn't killed anyone in a long time." Draco said, shoving eggs into his mouth.
"That's quite a lot of information that I didn't know." Mr. Goyle said in surprise. "Gregory has only told me about them being able to control the weather, and about the crow."
"The weather?" Mrs. Malfoy asked, raising her eyebrow.
Draco went red. "Sorry." He said sheepishly. "I forgot about that too."
"Yes." I laughed. "They can do that too. There is a lot of things they can do that are really neat."
"Like what?" Mr. Crabbe asked eagerly.
But I didn't get a chance to answer. You know that feeling you get when something is about to happen? Well that's what I felt right before the great hall fell silent. Then a mass of whispering and giggling broke out among all the witches in the great hall. My boys were here.
I glanced up and grinned. Elijah was in a crisp black suit. Of course. And the rest were in jeans and T-shirts. They all looked GOOD!
I jumped up and started waving at them, and in a flash they were at my side.
"Hello Love, you look stunning." Klaus said, kissing me softly on the lips.
"So Princess, who's for breakfast?" Damon asked with a grin.
"Oh hush." I said grinning back. "You guys seemed to have caused quite a stir." I said glancing around. Everyone was gaping at them.
"That tends to happen." Elijah said with a laugh, as they sat down.
I scooted over so that Klaus and Elijah could sit next to me, and Damon and Stefan sat across from us. It was funny, because everyone began staring at them. Damon, Stefan, and Klaus started piling food onto their plates, and Elijah, being Elijah, unfolded his napkin and placed it in his lap before putting food onto his own plate. He's so proper.
I introduced everyone, and silently laughed at Mrs. Malfoy when she blushed. Elijah had taken her hand and smiled at her, and if I'm not mistaking, I do believe she giggled a bit. Elijah has that affect on women.
"Which one of you is Damon?" asked a seventh year blond Hufflepuff. She came out of nowhere and I swear she had stars in her eyes.
Damon cleared his throat, and looked at her. "That would be me." He said.
"Oh." She giggled. "My friend told me about you, and I wanted to say hi."
"Hi." He said, and she giggled again. Then he took her hand and said, "I think I hear your friend calling your name. I think you should go and find her."
"Well, I think I hear my friend calling my name, so I think I should go find her. Bye!" And she walked away.
I burst out laughing. "Damon! You just compelled that girl!"
"What? I'm trying to eat." He said with an air of indifference.
Draco looked at him in awe. "So that's how you guys compel people?"
"Yeah, it's fun to do sometimes." He said with a grin.
"So, you can just make people do whatever you want them too?" Mr. Crabbe asked.
"Yes. It's kind of a vampires version of the Imperius Curse. We can make people our slaves if we want, or simply make them go away." Elijah said, with a wave of his hand.
Mr. Malfoy looked impressed. "And as simple as that, with no wand. Impressive."
"And they don't even know what happened. We can make them forget the same way too. We just tell them to forget something and, poof…" Stefan explained.
"Hi Klaus." Lavender said coming up behind him.
I glared at her, and she scurried away giggling. "I will hex the next girl who ogles you with bat wings. I promise."
He laughed. "Love, these girls don't matter to me. You have nothing to worry about."
"Bat wings?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah it's a hex Damon invented. It gives the person bat wings and makes them fly away, but they can't control where they fly, so they usually end up slamming into walls." I said.
The entire table burst out laughing. Then I spotted something that nearly made my eyeballs fall out of my head. Hermione and Remus were standing off to the side, and watching us.
I grinned at them. "So, what brings two lions into the snake pit?"
"Hermione wanted to talk to Elijah, but was too shy to come by herself." Remus said with a laugh. "She has something she wants to ask."
"Well I tried to ask you first, but you said talk to them instead." She said quietly, and blushing.
"Miss Granger! How wonderful to see you. Please come sit down." Elijah said, gesturing between Damon and Stefan. Remus smiled, patted her on the shoulder and walked away.
They made room and she sat down, though she nervously glanced at the Malfoys, who looked like they were disgusted by her presence at the table.
"What is it your curious about?" Elijah asked.
"Well actually I was doing a bit of research for the essay Professor Lupin set, and I came across something that I had never read before. It involves werewolves and vampires, so naturally I asked Professor Lupin about it, but he said I should have you tell me about it." And she handed him a book. It was flipped open to a page that had a symbol of the sun and moon.
Elijah scanned the page and grinned. "Niklaus look, it's our legend."
Klaus took it and laughed. "Where did you get this book?"
"In the library." She replied. "What do you mean your legend?"
"It's the legend of the sun and moon. Niklaus and I made it up about 850 years ago. We wrote it in several languages, and sent it out all over the world. I can't believe that it found its way into the Hogwarts library." Elijah said laughing.
"YOU made it UP?" she asked in shock.
"Of course." Elijah said. "You see we are the reason that vampires and werewolves despise each other, though Remus is a good man, and we get along with him. You see, this legend tells of a powerful moonstone that will break the sun curse for vampires, and the moon curse for werewolves. But none of its true." He explained.
Hermione gaped at him. "But why…"
Klaus laughed. "Because I needed that moonstone to break my curse. Elijah and I came up with that legend to help me find it faster. When Salazar Slytherin and our Mother came up with the spell…"
"Salazar Slytherin!" Mr. Malfoy cried. "You knew Salazar Slytherin?"
"Yes." Elijah replied. "Niklaus and I were born in Hogsmeade. Our parents knew both Godric Gryffindor, and Salazar Slytherin."
Mr. Malfoy and the others were stunned speechless so Klaus continued.
"When Salazar Slytherin and our Mother came up with the spell to turn us into vampires, they also came up with the spell to bind the werewolf side of me. It worked until last year when a werewolf in Mystic Falls, Virginia found it. Word got out that it had been found, and I went to get it. I needed the blood of a vampire, the blood of a werewolf, the moonstone, and a wizard powerful enough to harness the power of the full moon. I had to drain the wolf and vampire of their blood and kill them as a sacrifice, and Elijah was the wizard that broke the spell. That's how I became the Hybrid."
Hermione gaped at them, and the others were still speechless.
"Pinky." Elijah called out.
She appeared with a loud crack onto the table. "Yes, Master Elijah. You called for Pinky."
"Would you be kind and retrieve the moonstone from the library, and bring it to me?"
"Of course sir." She took about 30 seconds and she was back. "As requested, sir." And she handed him the stone.
"Thank you Pinky." He said. And she grinned at me, and left. "Here Miss Granger. This is the moonstone." Elijah said, and handed it to her.
It was a large stone, and on one side was the black blood of a werewolf, and the other was the red blood of the vampire. Both types of blood met in the middle, and the inside of the stone was cracked.
"That, Miss Granger, is one of the most powerful dark objects in the world. Though it no longer has any power. You see this ring here on Lynn's finger? It was the ring I needed to harness the full moon's power. It belonged to Salazar." Elijah said.
"So that's why he gave you this ring! You didn't tell me that." I said, punching him in the shoulder.
He laughed. "I'm sorry, Lynn. I was going to, but I didn't want someone to find the note, or read it over your shoulder before you had a chance to destroy it."
Hermione looked horrified. "I knew that Salazar Slytherin was a dark wizard, but I had no idea he was this dark!"
"Yes, Salazar was a very dark wizard, but he is also one of the most misunderstood wizards of all the wizarding world. Did you know that Niklaus and I are only Half-bloods? Our father was a muggle, and our Mother was a Pure-blood, but he got along with our father quite well. There were a few muggles that lived in Hogsmeade at the time, that were married to other wizards, and all of them knew him, and he liked all of them too. He just didn't trust other muggle-borns and muggles, because the muggles in those days were trying to kill us. If Salazar was alive today he would not have a problem with you sitting at this table, because he would know he could trust you. He would know that you aren't a threat, because times have changed since those days. He would not have a problem with muggles in today's world." Elijah said.
"Because they aren't trying to kill us." She commented.
"Exactly." He said.
"Hermione, do you know the real meaning of the word Blood-traitor?" Klaus asked.
"It's a pure blood wizard that likes muggles, muggle borns, and…."
Klaus laughed, "No, I should ask, do you know Salazar's definition of a blood-traitor?"
She shook her head no.
"Salazar Slytherin's idea of a blood-traitor, was a witch or wizard, whether they were pure, half, or muggle-born, who betrayed magical blood by telling the muggles in his day, were to find wizards and kill them, in exchange for their own life. That's the real meaning of the word blood-traitor." Klaus said, taking a bite of his apple.
"The concept has been lost today. Now it means something totally different. No witch or wizard alive today is a blood-traitor according to Salazar's definition." Elijah said.
"It's true he told me." Draco blurted out, and everyone stared at him. "Well he sorta did, didn't he Lynn?"
I nodded, "Yes he did." I m not going to betray Draco, and tell them about the room.
"What I don't understand though, is his views on pure blood supremacy." Hermione said. "Why, if he liked some muggles and half bloods, would he have those views?"
Klaus laughed. "Ah yes, the pure blood supremacy debacle. Yes he was a pure blood supremacist, when it came to Hogwarts. But in those days many people thought that way, because they believed it was a necessary caution to stay alive. He just didn't want muggle borns in the school plain and simple. He never had a problem with those he already knew."
"He doesn't feel that way anymore though." Draco said. "He told me that last year. He also said that he feels bad for everything that Harry Potter has been through at the hands of…well you know."
"Draco?" Mr. Malfoy asked. "What are you saying? How do you know all this?"
Draco sighed and put his fork down. "There is a hidden room not far from the common room, if you push on a tiny stone, the door will open. Inside is a painting of Salazar Slytherin. He said no student has discovered him in over 150 years, until I discovered him back in second year by accident. I showed it to Lynn on the first day of school."
I looked at the boys. "I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to tell you."
"Draco, I think I would very much like to see this room. Will you show it to us?" Mr. Malfoy asked.
"Yes sir."
"Draco! Lynn! How wonderful to see you, children!" Salazar's gravelly voice cried out in happiness, when we opened the door. "I was hoping…Oh! I see you have brought lots friends!" He said, when the others stepped into the room. The boys, the Malfoys, Crabbes, Goyles, and Hermione had come with us too.
"Hello Salazar." Elijah said, walking into the room.
"E-Elijah? Niklaus? Is that really you?" He asked gripping his frame and trying to get a better look at them. "You haven't aged a day!" he cried, laughing loudly.
"No sir we haven't." Klaus said grinning. "It's lovely to see you after all these years. How have you been?"
"Lonely. I've turned into a crazy old bat, because I haven't got anyone to talk to." He said, and we all laughed.
"I wanted to bring them sooner, but I haven't had a chance." I said.
"Well, I'm glad you're all here. Now what can I do for you?" He asked happily, sitting down in the chair in his painting.
"We just wanted to talk sir. I told them about the curse, and the moonstone, and young Miss Hermione here, was asking about the more darker aspects of your beliefs." Klaus said.
"Really? Are you in Slytherin child?" Salazar asked.
"N-No sir, I'm a muggle-born. And I'm in Gryffindor." She said meekly.
"Well child, why do you look so glum about it? Your one of Godric's. You should be proud of that. Or is it just me and my reputation?" He asked, smiling at her.
"Both." She said quietly, and shuffled next to Elijah.
Elijah laughed. "We explained to them your beliefs, and Miss Granger is a little unsure of herself at the moment."
"Why? Because you've heard the horror stories of my beliefs about muggles and muggle borns? I know, you know, of my chamber child, and I know how your friend Harry Potter killed my Basilisk, and frankly, I'm glad that nasty snake is dead. I regretted making that chamber many hundreds of years ago. The world has changed child, as I'm sure you're aware. Wizards and witches are no longer in danger, and therefore, my old beliefs are no longer acceptable." He said with an air of finality.
"See, right from the horse's mouth, so to speak." Elijah said with a smile.
Hermione relaxed and smiled, but Mr. Malfoy sank into a dusty wooden chair. "I had no idea. My father, my grandfather, and his before him…" he said, shaking his head.
"You are Draco's father?"
Mr. Malfoy nodded. "Yes sir. I was a follower of the Dark Lord…."
"Ah yes, HIM!" Salazar spat. "I would love to get my hands on that boy and flog him until HE'S begging for mercy! But I know that Mr. Potter has already done that for me, and for that, Mr. Potter deserves the highest reward possible. My own heir!" He shouted. "Nothing more than a sniveling, whiny, no good rotten apple! No better than the muggles that killed us, all those many years ago!" He seethed. "A stupid, stupid boy he was."
We all stared at Salazar, and the Malfoys, Crabbes, and Goyles all looked ashamed. "So what do we do now?" Mr. Malfoy asked. "Sir, I honestly for the first time in my life, I don't know what to do."
"Make it right." Salazar said. "I have been stuck inside this room for almost 900 years. I can't do a thing to make it right myself, but now you know the truth about how I feel. I know it will take many years to undo what's been done these past thousand years. I know it won't happen overnight. But start with your children and go from there. I'm not saying you have to go out in the muggle world and live the way they do, but the muggles are no longer a threat to us. There is no reason for acting that way anymore. Now I realize I'm not the most suitable person to be preaching about the dangers of using dark magic, but I will say this. Hate is a very bad thing, and it is a form of dark magic that will consume you if you let it. It will destroy you from the inside out."
I glanced at Draco, and he smiled at me. "He said the same thing to me last year, so when you said it to me on the first day of school, I knew you were someone I could trust."
I smiled and gave Draco a hug. "I have them to thank for how I was raised. Who knew vampires could be so good at raising kids." I said pointing to Damon and Stefan. They look so proud!
"But surely Professor Dumbledore knows you're here." Hermione said. "Maybe he can get you out of this room, so you can tell people yourself."
"He's already tried child. My painting can't be removed from the wall, and as an extra precaution, my painting will burst into flames the second it crosses that threshold." He said, as he pointed to the door. "I'm stuck here for eternity, only those who find me, or tell others about me, can talk to me. When Draco discovered me, Severus followed him one day, and found me as well, and showed Dumbledore where to find me. But I can't leave this room."
"That's why he grabbed my hand that day! On the first day of classes, he handed me my schedule, and grabbed my hand when he saw the ring." I said to no one in particular.
"Yes, Severus is aware of the ring." Salazar nodded.
After that, we sat and talked to Salazar some more until lunch time. Hermione was welcomed to come and talk to him anytime she wanted, and when Goyle's stomach rumbled, we headed back up to the great hall for lunch. It was a good talk, and I personally think Salazar is happy to have more people he can talk to. He really is lonely.
"What the devil is Fenrir Greyback doing here at Hogwarts?" Mr. Malfoy asked curiously, as we walked toward the lake for some fresh air.
"I don't know Lucius, but it seems like he's talking to the werewolf Remus Lupin." Mr. Goyle said.
"Who's Fenrir Greyback?" I asked.
"He is the most feared werewolf in Great Britain." Mr. Malfoy explained. "He likes to bite children, and turn them into wolves. We wants to build an army of vicious werewolves, so that he can take over the wizarding world."
I instantly stepped closer to Klaus, and watched as the two werewolves conversed by the edge of the Dark Forest. They were standing a good 500 yards away from us.
"Well lets go have a chat, shall we?" Klaus said to the other boys, looking like he was wanting to fight.
"Easy Brother, let's see what they are whispering about." Elijah said, has he stared at them.
We all stared at the vampires, as they listened to the werewolves conversation.
"It's not good, he is threatening Remus about something." Damon said, when I tugged on his shirt sleeve.
I gasped, "We have to help Remus!"
"Are you insane." Stefan said, grabbing my arm, as I idiotically started toward them. "Don't you even go near them."
"But we have to help…." I didn't get to finish because Damon had clamped his hand over my mouth.
"You are NOT going over there." He hissed at me, baring his fangs, and startling the other humans.
I glared at him, and Klaus said. "He's right Love, it's too dangerous for you." And he wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me close.
"Let's just calm down everyone." Elijah said, not taking his eyes away from the werewolves. "We will ask Remus what this is about. Don't worry Lynn, we won't let anything happen to him. If there are children involved, we will not stand aside and watch as this Greyback harms them."
The boys watched as Greyback left. He walked along the edge of the Dark Forest, and toward the gate.
"He's gone." Elijah said. "He just apparated."
"You can see that far away?" Mrs. Malfoy asked.
"Yes ma'am, we can." Stefan answered.
Remus saw us standing there, and headed right toward us. "Did you hear?"
"Part of it." Damon said, waiting for Remus to fill in the rest.
"He has a pack that's 15 strong. Mostly made up of non-wizard wolves. He is recruiting like mad trying to get wizard wolves to join. He has resorted to turning older teenagers into wolves, and has threaten their wizard families, if they say anything. I, of course, just turned him down, and he threatened me also."
"How?" I instantly asked.
"Never you mind that." He said to me. "There is no reason for you to get involved."
"Ugh!" I said, stomping my foot. I started to say something else, but Klaus growled, and I stopped and glared at him.
"I don't want you to get hurt Love." He said flashing his wolf eyes at me.
"Is he aware of our presence in the area?" Elijah asked.
"No, I don't believe he does. I also don't think he knows anything about Klaus. He didn't say anything about a hybrid or any of that."
"Let's keep it that way for now, shall we?" Elijah said.
They all nodded, and Mr. Malfoy said, "We will make sure he doesn't find out. If anything about you all comes up, we will do our best to squash the rumors." And the other nodded in agreement.
"Thank you Lucius." Klaus said.
"Will you let us know if he comes back?" Elijah asked, turning to Remus.
"Of course." Remus answered.
"We will find out everything we can as well." Mr. Malfoy said. "We have dealings and contacts that can let us know what's happening, and we may even be able to get you names of the wizard wolves."
Remus glanced at the Malfoys, and the others. "Can we trust you Lucius, because I'm not sure we can."
"I realize Remus, that we have a bad history, but rest assured we are on your side now." Mr. Malfoy said. "You have our word." And Mr. Crabbe, and Mr. Goyle agreed.
I glanced at them and said to Remus, "They have recently, as of today, had a realization. I'll have to fill you in later."
Mr. Malfoy smiled. "Yes, we have. And it's all thanks to you, your family, and of course, Draco." He said turning to his son and smiling, and Draco beamed at his father.
"Well I better be off. I need to let Sirius, and Dumbledore know what's going on." Remus said.
"May we accompany you? We would like to offer our help with this problem." Elijah said, and the boys nodded in agreement.
Remus looked relieved. "I will be honest, I was hoping you'd say that."
We followed Remus, and he headed off toward the great hall to get Sirius. We were all surprised to see that he also came out with Professor Snape, and Ron's Dad, Arthur Weasley. We followed them all the way to the gargoyle that guards the entrance to the Headmasters office, but when we got there Remus turned to us.
"I realize that I am not your Head of House, and I realize I'm not your parents and guardians, but I must ask you kids to stay here." He said.
"He's right Princess. Stay here."
I started to protest, but Mr. Malfoy cut me off.
"I agree. Draco, you stay here as well." He said and the others nodded, and told their boys the same thing.
Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and I glared at them, but did as we were told. Well, that is until the gargoyle closed behind them and we couldn't see them anymore.
"I think we should go and let a certain trio of Gryffindors know what's going on." I said to the others. "Especially since Ron's Dad is up there, and Sirius as well."
Draco nodded, "Yes, they are good at things like this. Maybe they will help us. I'll get Blaise too."
We all headed back to the great hall where we found them still eating lunch. I headed toward the Gryffindor table, and Draco and the others headed toward Slytherin's. We all met up in a quiet corner in the great hall and filled the others in on what was happening. Harry and Draco looked at each other, but Hermione had already filled them in on what happened at the Slytherin table at breakfast, and with Salazar, so they shook hands.
"A truce then?" Harry asked.
Draco nodded. "Yeah, I've been quite a git the last few years."
"I'll say." Ron said, but he shook hands with Draco too.
"So what do we do now?" Blaise asked.
"Let's go back and stand in front of the Gargoyle until they come down, maybe they will tell us something." Ron suggested.
"I doubt that Ronald." Hermione said. "But we can stand there none the less.
So we headed, yet again, to the gargoyle and waited, and waited, and waited. It seemed like they had been up there for hours.
"Too bad you're not a vampire Lynn. You could climb up the outside wall, and listen in on them." Blaise said with a laugh.
"Yeah and be caught in 10 seconds flat. Damon would drain me dry." I said with a snort. "I would climb up though, but without super hearing I wouldn't be able to tell what they were saying anyway, and I'd still be caught."
"What do you mean you could climb up anyway?" Draco asked.
"I haven't been raised by vampires for 16 years and not picked up a few tricks." I laughed, then turned to Harry and Hermione. "Have you two heard of Spiderman?"
Harry and Hermione grinned. "Yeah." They chorused.
"Same concept. I put sticking charms on my finger tips, and the balls of my feet. I can climb up walls that way." I said, with a mischievous glint in my eye.
Ron looked like he wanted to ask what a Spiderman was, but didn't get the chance because the adults came back down. Sirius laughed when he saw us all standing there with our arms folded across our chests, waiting for them to tell us what was going on. The rest of the adults looked furious though, and I knew, that the boys knew, that I had been the one to suggest getting the Gryffindors involved. Boy was I gonna get in trouble!
