Letters
"Uh oh." Hermione breathed at breakfast the next morning. "Some reporter has written a front page article in The Daily Prophet. Listen to this." She said, and started to read out loud.
HOGWARTS STUDENTS SAVED BY VAMPIRES!
Several eye witness accounts say that last Monday night, Hogwarts students were saved by vampires, as notorious werewolf Fenrir Greyback and 20 members of his pack, took the Great Hall hostage at dinner. With only one hour until the full moon rose, Hogwarts student, 17 year old Lynn Salvatore a pure blooded witch in Slytherin House, thought quickly and summoned her house elf, asking the elf for help by getting her family, all of whom are vampires. Elijah Mikaelson, one of the vampires, was already present but had been staked in the heart by Greyback. Unable to be killed however, Elijah was revived after a short while by none other than the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry Potter. Lynn Salvatore proceeded to protect her friends Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger by casting a whip spell, and using her wand to beat back an attacking Greyback. Shortly after, Klaus Mikaelson arrived followed by Miss Salvatore's cousins, Damon and Stefan Salvatore. Stefan Salvatore quickly moved into action, and evacuated all the students from the great hall. He had asked the Hogwarts house elves to help him, and by using a thick fog as cover created by Damon Salvatore, Stefan had the elves silently apparate the students to their common rooms. Stefan Salvatore asked the Hogwarts elves to protect the students, and he returned to the great hall to help fight Greyback and his pack. The vampires, Professors Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Filius Flitwick, and Sirius Black, along with students, Lynn Salvatore, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Blaise Zabini proceeded to fight Greyback and the 20 members of his pack. Later, Rubeus Hagrid, Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, and students Fred and George Weasley were able to blast open the locked and charmed doors of the great hall, and help win the battle. Greyback himself escaped, and is currently in hiding.
Lucius Malfoy spoke to this reporter about his involvement with the battle. "I received an urgent Patronus message from Severus Snape saying that Greyback was attacking the school. He said that most of the students had been evacuated from the great hall, but that Draco refused to leave Lynn and his other friends behind. I immediately apparated to the school, and found Arthur Weasley running toward the castle. He said that Dumbledore had alerted him by Patronus message, and that his boy Ron was in there too. When we arrived outside the great hall we found Hagrid trying to break down the doors, along with Arthur's other sons Fred and George Weasley. When we entered the hall we saw the other humans backed into a corner and were attempting to drive back the attacking werewolves, who were by that time in wolf form, toward the vampires. Lynn was out in the open trying to tend to a wounded Stefan, and I killed one wolf that was charging at her. By that time, the vampires had killed most of the werewolves, and I believe we owe our lives and the lives of our children, to the Salvatores and Mikaelsons. They saved us all."
We also were able to talk to Arthur Weasley who had this to say, "When Molly and I were alerted of the situation, I apparated to the school. Lucius Malfoy, Hagrid, and myself were able to blast open the doors. I spoke to Fred and George who quickly told us who was in there, and what had happened. They told us that they had snuck out of the Gryffindor common room to try and help their brother and friends. When we ran in, the scene was that of horror. Dead werewolves, and blood was everywhere. There was about 9 wolves left to kill, and we were asked not to let them escape. I spotted Lynn trying to tend to an injured Stefan, who had been badly bitten and clawed. I helped her drag him to safety, and stayed with the humans to help drive the wolves back toward the other vampires. I was able to stun one of the wolves who was then killed by Elijah. Damon saved my son Fred from being bitten by ripping one's heart out. Klaus Mikaelson, who was in wolf form also saved us, by killing a wolf who was trying to attack us in the corner. Molly and I are very thankful for the Salvatores and Mikaelsons. They saved our children's lives that night. Not just Molly's and mine, but ALL of the children. Especially Stefan, who I later learned was responsible for getting all the children to safety."
As an inside scoop, this reporter was able to learn more about the vampire heroes. Klaus Mikaelson is a 1,025 year old Original Vampire/Werewolf/Wizard Hybrid, and can transform into a werewolf whenever he desires. Klaus is the boyfriend of 17 year old Lynn Salvatore.
Elijah Mikaelson is the brother of the Hybrid, and is also an Original Vampire. Both brothers are half-blooded wizards. Elijah is 1,030 years old, and is rumored to be dating 16 year old Hermione Granger, who we all know is part of The Golden Trio of Gryffindors who defeated You-Know-Who last summer.
Damon Salvatore, 170 years old, and Stefan Salvatore, 165 years old, are also brothers. They are pure-blooded American wizard vampires.
Lynn Salvatore is a pure-blooded American witch, and it is known that following the battle, she ended up in the Hogwarts hospital wing. The reason for this is unknown, but my source has said that she may have been bitten by one of the attacking werewolves. No other students were said to have been harmed.
The Mikaelsons are Original Vampires, and are said to be un-killable. All vampires today are descended from these two brothers. The Salvatores vampire heritage is said to be descended from Klaus Mikaelson.
Three of the vampires are able to walk in the daylight using Daylight Rings as protection. The spell that is said to be cast upon these special rings was created by none other than Salazar Slytherin himself, who the Mikaelson Brothers knew personally when he was alive. Damon Salvatore, who is not an Original, but is rumored to be a master spell creator, was able to figure out how to use rings as Daylight protection. He is rumored to have figured out the exact spell used by Salazar Slytherin, and cast it upon his and his brother's rings, a few years after being turned into vampires. The Salvatores did not know the Mikaelsons at that time. Klaus Mikaelson does not need to wear a Daylight Ring, due to being half werewolf.
My source said the Mikaelsons and Salvatores currently reside in Hogsmeade. Elijah Mikaelson and Stefan Salvatore, pictured below, spoke with me about the incident.
Elijah said, "The school needed help and Lynn knew just what to do, so she called for us."
Stefan remarked, "The students were in danger, and we didn't want to see them harmed. We are glad that we were able to help."
When asked about his injuries in the battle, Stefan had this to say, "I'm fine. I was only bitten four times by a wolf and I was clawed, but Klaus is what we call the Original Hybrid, and his blood can cure a vampire who's been bitten by a werewolf. Being bitten was bound to happen, and we knew that when we got there. It's no big deal."
When Damon Salvatore, pictured below, was asked about Lynn and her condition, he denied the claim that Miss Salvatore was bitten by a werewolf, but declined to give a reason for her stay in the hospital wing.
When Klaus Mikaelson, pictured below, was asked about his relationship with Miss Salvatore, he said it was none of our business, and threatened to eat this reporter.
I stared at Hermione, as she finished reading. "How on earth did that reporter find out about all the personal stuff?"
"There is a picture of all of you, one of Klaus flashing his wolf eyes and teeth, Damon grinning evilly at the camera, and one each of Elijah and Stefan smiling ." Hermione said showing us the paper. "Do you recognize the first one?"
"Holy crap that's the picture that is hanging above my bed! The one of all of us in the library, but the others of Klaus and Damon are kinda funny." I said snorting, as I looked at the pictures. You could see Klaus's yellow eyes and both sets of fangs, as he yelled at the reporter. Damon was standing there, with his arms crossed, grinning, and baring his fangs.
"How did they get the other one though?" Draco asked.
I gritted my teeth. "Pansy. She must have made a copy. It has to be her. That's why this reporter knows so much."
"That would also explain why nothing is said about what happened after everyone was evacuated. Pansy wasn't there when the fight went down, but how did they find out about Mr. Weasley and the others?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore must have said something about Mr. Weasley and the others, but I don't care about the first part of the story. I think everyone has a right to know what happened that night. It's all the personal stuff I care about." I said.
I looked up to see if the crow was around, and I spotted it across the room. "DAMON!" I yelled out to the crow. Everyone who was eating breakfast stopped to look in my direction. The crow took flight and landed right beside me on the table. "I need all of you here right now." I said.
I paced back and forth beside the Gryffindor table for a few minutes, and when the boys arrived they looked extremely alarmed. They had a good reason to be.
"Look at this crap!" I cried, shoving the paper in Elijah's face.
He laid the paper flat on the table and the others gathered around to read it.
"That is crap!" Damon said with a grin. "There is hardly any mention of me at all."
"Damon this isn't funny. Whoever spilled the beans on our family has put all of us in danger. Greyback knows where we live now!" I shrieked. "Not to mention, people are going to think I'm a werewolf."
"Also how do they know about the Daylight Rings, and the spells on them?" Stefan asked. "We never said anything about it in class that day."
"And how'd they get that first picture?" Klaus asked looking at me.
"Pansy. It's the only person I can think of." I said. "But about the rings, I couldn't tell you."
I didn't see Stefan move, but the next thing I knew, we heard someone scream. We turned around, and Stefan had Pansy against the wall with his wand pointed at her head. We stood there and watched, as he continued to invade her mind. Then he stared into her eyes, and she immediately started to bark like a dog. Stefan came back over to us with a scowl on his face.
"It was her." He said. "And as for the rings, she talked to Salazar about them."
"Well he did know about Damon figuring out the exact same spell." Klaus said.
Ron looked at Pansy, who was still barking, and started laughing, "What did you make her do Stefan?"
He grinned. "I compelled her to bark. She can't stop unless I say so. That should teach her never to open her mouth again."
"Did she say why she did it?" Damon asked looking at Pansy with his fangs bared.
"Revenge. She is mad because of her punishment for cursing Lynn's stuff." Stefan replied.
"UGH!" I cried, pointing my wand at her and casting the bat wings hex. "How's that for Damon's master spell creations!" I yelled at her, as she barked frantically and slammed into the walls.
The others in the great hall all started to laugh, but Damon grinned and vanished the wings. She was only a few feet in the air at that time, and was able to land on her feet. She looked at us and glared. She opened her mouth to say something, but could only bark out a response.
"You know Pansy, one of these days you might learn not to mess with Lynn and her family." Draco shouted at her, and we all laughed.
"Well Princess, we better go, so you can get to class." Damon said.
"No wait! What do we do now?" I asked. "Greyback knows where we live, and about all that other stuff."
"No need to worry Lynn." Elijah said. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. We will deal with this, and anything else that comes along. As for the other stuff, it's not like a lot of people didn't already know about it. You're worrying over stuff that's really not that bad."
"Fine whatever." I replied. "Just make sure you guys stay safe and watch out for Greyback."
"We will Love." Klaus said pulling me to him and giving me a kiss. "Don't worry we will be fine."
"Elijah, can I talk with you a moment?" Hermione asked, blushing.
"Of course Hermione." He replied offering his arm to her.
They walked off to a corner and began whispering. I looked at Damon who started grinning.
"What is it?" I asked with a grin of my own.
"She's thinks Elijah is embarrassed by the comment in the article, and is apologizing for it." He said pausing for a moment, and then his grin got wider. "Now he is saying that he isn't embarrassed at all, and is worried that she was embarrassed. She is saying no she wasn't. Now he is asking about another date since the one they were on, got ruined." He paused again. "And she just said yes. For Friday night."
I looked at Lavender and we grinned.
"Well I do believe we should be going now." Elijah said walking back toward us, with a large smile on his face. "We need to let you all get to your classes. Lynn, We love you and will see you later." He said.
"Alright but you guys be careful. I love you too." I said.
"Hermione." Elijah said, kissing her hand in goodbye.
She blushed and said, "See you on Friday."
Lavender and I laughed, as the boys waved bye and walked out. I still didn't like the fact that the entire wizarding world now knew of our family, and I was still afraid things would go downhill. For now though, we needed to get to class. Little did I know how much our lives were about to change.
When lunch time rolled around, I had begun receiving a barrage of mail. Owls were swooping in from everywhere, and I could barely eat my lunch. There were so many letters that I had given up on reading them all, so the guys, Hermione, and Lavender where helping. Ever since Monday night, Fred and George had officially become part of our group of friends, and were now counted as one of 'the guys.'
"This one is a thank you for being brave." Lavender said holding up a letter. "And this one says you are a Slytherin, and need to learn how to run."
"This one says thanks for saving Harry's life." Fred snorted.
"This one says that you have changed his opinion of Slytherins, and he now knows that you aren't all gits." Ron snickered.
"Here is one asking if Stefan is single." George said laughing loudly.
"Same about Damon." Draco replied waving a letter around.
"This one is thanking you for your bravery, and they are sorry that you were turned into a werewolf." Harry said.
"Keep that one, I'll reply back to them, and the one you have Lav."
Blaise picked up one, read it, and laughed loudly. "You should show this one to Klaus." He grinned. "It says that you can do better than Klaus, and that you need a real wolf. He wants to know if you will marry him."
"Uh, no." I laughed. "And Klaus would eat him."
I read the one I had picked up, and laughed. "Hermione, this one says for me to tell you, you better be careful with Elijah, because now you have competition, from her."
Hermione snorted and rustled through the pile of letters. "This one said the same thing about Klaus." She said, holing up a black envelope and letter.
"Well this confirms my theory about witches and wizards being just as crazy as muggles." I said laughing.
"How dare you!" Draco said mockingly, staring at me with wide eyes.
We burst out laughing. Remus and Sirius had been watching us from the head table, and came over.
"Fan mail?" Remus asked with a grin.
I laughed. "I wish that just once, I could escape vampire hearing."
Remus continued to grin at me, but Sirius laughed. "Not gonna happen." He said.
I looked at Remus and sighed. "I don't like this though." I said, waving my hand at all the letters. "I don't like the fact that Greyback knows all about us now. He knows where we live, and I don't think he's the type to get his tail whipped, and not do anything about it."
"You're worrying over nothing." Remus said sitting down next to me. "Your boys can take care of themselves."
"I have to be honest. It's not that I'm worried about Klaus and Elijah, because they can't be killed. It's Stefan and Damon. I've told Damon this, but he says…"
"To not worry." Remus interrupted. "I know I heard."
I sighed and started to say something else, but Sirius cut me off. "It's time for class, you guys should get going." He said looking at me pointedly.
The guys helped me gather up all the letters and we set off toward our next class. Why wasn't anyone wanting to listen to me?
"Blue they won't listen." I said, leaning against my headboard and sighing. "They just won't listen."
Blue purred and rubbed his head against my knees. Thankfully I was alone, because Pansy, Millicent, and Daphne hadn't got back from dinner yet. I wasn't hungry though, so after last period, I came straight to the dorm. I had every intention of starting my History of Magic homework, but I was finding it hard to concentrate.
"Something just doesn't feel right." I said, staring out the dorm room window. "What do you think Blue? Am I just worrying over nothing?"
Blue looked at me with his clear blue eyes and shook his head no.
"So you don't think I'm crazy then?"
Again he shook his head no.
"Sometimes I wish you could talk back." I said with a sad smile, as I rubbed my hand through his midnight black fur.
He swished his tail back and forth, and silently walked over to the pile of letters at the end of my bed. I had divided them into two piles, one was going to be burned because they were from weirdoes, and the much smaller pile were the ones that were sincere and thankful. I was going to write back to those people. I conjured up a large metal bucket, and placed the ones to be burned in it, and set it on fire. I cast a smokeless charm that Damon had invented, and as I watched them burn, I heard a ruffling of feathers above my head.
"What is it?" I asked, looking up at the crow.
It ruffled it's feathers again, and sank down into the soft blanket that I had made into a small nest. It looked at me, and squawked.
"I'm just burning letters from crazy people." I said with a half hearted laugh. "No doubt Remus or Sirius told you guys about them."
It squawked again, and nodded.
"Figures." I mumbled, but then grinned. "I got marriage proposals from five different guys. One who was a werewolf, and said that I needed to be with a real werewolf, and not a fake one." I said with a snicker. "Perhaps you should pass that info on to Klaus."
It squawked again, and Blue hissed.
"You guys are funny." I said with a smile, looking from the cat to the bird.
Just then an owl flew into the open window. It landed with a thud on the bed, dropped a letter onto it, and flew right back out.
"Not another one." I groaned, as I picked it up to open it.
I didn't need anyone to tell me that I had went pale. I could feel the color drain out of my face as I read the letter to myself.
It seems that you and I got off on the wrong foot last week Lynn Salvatore. Perhaps I should not have underestimated you. You would make a wonderful addition to my pack, despite your devotion to your, what do you call him, Hybrid boyfriend. I could, in fact sire, that out of you. Oh yes, to sire out the devotion you have to your vampires would be quite pleasurable for me. You are a very beautiful woman, and I very much want to see you again. I do not care about your family, it's you that I want. I will have you for myself. I'll see you in Hogsmeade soon.
Greyback
I cleared my throat, and reread the letter out loud. "But there is nothing to worry about." I said, angrily when I finished, and I looked at the crow. "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about."
Blue hissed, but the crow took flight and landed on the bed beside me. It hovered over the letter for a minute as if reading it, and after a few minutes, Damon came climbing in through the window.
"Give it here Princess." He said reaching for the letter.
I snatched it out of his reach. "No it's mine. Besides, it's nothing to worry about. I'm sure." I said sarcastically.
"Don't be an idiot, now give it here. You won't like it, if I have to take it from you by force." He said, advancing toward me with his fangs bared.
"No." I said stuffing the letter behind my back. "You don't scare me."
"Now Princess." He growled.
"No."
He flashed toward me, and sent me sprawling across my bed. He landed on top of me, but I squeezed my eyes shut so he couldn't compel me. Then he grabbed me around the waist and lifted me off the bed, but I was too quick for him, and snatched the letter up. Damon body slammed me down, knocking the wind out of me, and shoved his knee into my stomach. I grabbed my wand from under my pillow and sent a stunning spell toward him, which knocked him backwards into a wall. I quickly ran to the dorm room door, and was halfway down the stairs when he slammed into me from behind. We went crashing down the stairs and into the common room. Everyone there, including Professor Snape, jumped up with their wands drawn at the commotion, but we ignored them. He rolled off of me, and hissed, but I went running toward the door. He cut me off using his speed, and I ran smack into him. I brandished my wand and sent another stunning spell toward him, but he had his own ready, and cast a shield spell. He grabbed me around the waist again and threw me hard against the wall, but I caught him off guard with an Impediment Jinx, which slowed him down for a moment.
"What the hell is going on?" Draco shouted.
"Family business! Just stay where you are!" I yelled running toward the door again.
Taking time to yell at Draco caused me to slow down though, and when the jinx wore off Damon cut me off again, and grabbed me from behind. The next thing I knew, we were standing thirty feet in the air on top of the window sill in the common room. He had me pressed up against the glass, and had my arms pinned down to my sides.
"Give it to me, or I'll drop you." He hissed.
"No you won't." I said glaring at him.
Damon threw me toward the floor, but he used his speed, and caught me before I hit the ground. He body slammed me face first into the floor, and buried his knees into my back. Then he snatched the letter out of my hand, and stood up.
"If you had just given me the damn thing in the first place, I wouldn't have had to hurt you." He growled.
"You're an asshole!" I yelled, as I rolled over, and got to my feet. Blood was pouring from my nose, so I pinched it, and tilted my head back. "And you broke my nose!"
"Well if you weren't so stubborn, it wouldn't have happened!" He shouted back.
"Gee, I wonder where I get it from!" I cried.
We stood there seething and glaring at each other.
"What happened?" Professor Snape asked cautiously, looking from me to Damon.
"She got a letter from Greyback." Damon answered holding the letter in the air. Then he held it up to his nose to sniff it. "Damn it." He muttered. Then bit his wrist, and held it out to me. "Drink." He ordered.
I glared at him.
"Just do it, you stubborn brat. I can't tell if this really came from Greyback, because of the blood everywhere."
I pointed my wand at my face and started to say 'episkey,' but Damon snatched it from me.
"Don't do that, all it does is make your nose heal crooked." He muttered.
"Fine then." I said, closing my mouth around his wrist, and I bit down hard as I did.
"Ouch!" He cried glaring at me, but I just smiled evilly.
He cast a cleaning spell which cleaned all the blood from my clothes and the floor, and when I let go of his wrist, he cleaned the blood off my lips too.
"Now, let's try this again." He said holding the letter up to his nose. He paused for a moment, and said, "Well this didn't come from Greyback, but it did come from a werewolf."
"How do you know?" Crabbe asked.
"Because, Monday night I was able to get close enough to figure out what he smells like." Damon answered.
"One of his pack members then?" Draco asked.
"Possibly." Damon said with a nod.
"It makes sense." Professor Snape said. "Greyback can't read or write. He has never been taught how."
"How do you know that?" Damon asked, turning to look at him.
"I've had to deal with him before." He answered with a scowl on his face. "Though not willingly."
Blaise looked at me. "Do you still have that marriage letter from that one werewolf?"
I shook my head. "No I've already burned the letters from the crazies."
"Don't burn any more, if you get them." Damon said. "I want to see all of them from now on. If I can pick up the scent again, we might be able to find out who really sent this."
"May I see the letter?" Snape asked, and Damon handed it to him. He quickly scanned it and frowned. "Well, I don't recognize the handwriting, but maybe Dumbledore will know something."
Damon nodded and made a copy of it. "Stefan, Elijah, and Klaus are going to want to look at this too, but we need the original." He said apologetically, as he handed the copy to Snape.
"I understand." Snape said with a curt nod, and turned to walk out the common room.
"Well I'm going to bed." I said curtly, because I was still angry at Damon. "I'll see you guys in the morning." And I waved goodnight to Draco and the others, and headed toward the dorm.
I slammed the dorm room door behind me, but it suddenly burst open.
"Not so fast Lynn." Damon said, walking into the room. "You and I are going to have a little chat." He cast a silencing spell on the doors, and walked over to the bed. "Why are you acting like a brat tonight?" He asked staring at me oddly.
"Because everyone has been telling me not to worry about stuff, so I don't see what the big deal is with Greyback sending me a love letter." I said shrugging my shoulders.
Damon's eyes grew dark as he stared at me, but then he sighed and relaxed. "Just stop with the attitude. You know good and well that it is a big deal, because now he's targeting you personally." He said softly, changing his approach to the situation. "I'm worried about you."
"Why? You weren't worried before, when I was worried about you guys."
"It's different, because your human."
"So turn me into a vampire, and we can all just be one big happy blood sucking family." I said sarcastically.
"Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind." He said quietly walking toward me.
"Stefan will kill you." I said quickly, trying not to show the panic I was feeling. "Not to mention Klaus."
"I can handle them."
"Damon! Have you lost your mind!?" I cried, walking backwards.
"I'D DO ANYTHING TO SAVE YOU!" He bellowed. "A werewolf will stop at nothing to get what he wants! At least if you're a vampire, you'll have a fighting chance!"
I looked around in panic, and quickly realized how trapped I was. My back was pressed firmly up against the wall, and he was standing between me and the door. Where is my wand?
"Damon, I seriously doubt Greyback actually sent that letter to me. It was probably just some random wolf playing a sick joke." I said hurriedly. "Besides, if you turn me I'll be sired to you."
"It was Greyback, because I could smell his scent on the letter too." He said. "And I don't see why being sired to me would be a problem."
"But Klaus…"
"Oh stop. You don't really love him."
"Yes I do!" I cried, shocked at his statement. "Damon you really are scaring me now. What's gotten into you?"
"I love you, and don't want to see you hurt." He said quietly, pressing his body against mine.
"Well I love you too, but I don't think…"
"No." He said softly. "I really love you."
"Damon you've gone crazy. Seriously, when was the last time you got laid? You know Klaus, Stefan, and Elijah are listening. You guys are always listening."
"Well if Klaus is listening then where is he? He knows how to get into this dorm room. He doesn't really love you anyway. You should see what he's been doing with other women while you have been here." He whispered in my ear.
"You're lying. He'd never cheat on me."
"Really? Do you really believe that?"
"Why are you trying to hurt me? Even if you're not lying and Klaus has cheated on me, why are you telling me this?" I asked, with tears in my eyes.
"Because I love you." He whispered, kissing my ear softly.
"No you don't. I pissed you off earlier, and now you want to take your revenge out on me, by playing with my emotions."
"That's not true Lynn." He said, as he bent down to kiss my lips.
I looked at him curiously, and I summoned all the strength I had and pushed him away from me. "It is true you lying bastard. Now just stop. You're going to ruin our family."
His evil laugh echoed around the dorm room. "Who's family Lynn? Surely not yours. Not your perfect family! You're not even a real Salvatore!" He cried, as he flashed toward me. The last thing I felt, was the pressure of my neck snapping, and the dorm fading to black as I hit the floor.
