Dhamphr
Severus sneered as he swept past a number of idiot Hufflepuffs, ignoring their loud whispers. Halloween always brought out the worst of the rumours that surrounded him. He could hear them all, talking about him, speculating worse than at other times of the year, the same question over and over again.
Was Snape a vampire?
Severus paused in front of a large, ornamental mirror, looking at his sallow reflection. He stared at his soulless black eyes, yellow skin and greasy hair and grudgingly noticed that he could see why they believed him a vampire, even though he wasn't one.
Hadn't any of these idiots ever heard of a Dhamphr?
A/N: A Dhamphr is someone with a vampire father and a human mother.
