Without warning to the vampire in front of him, Harry broke out of his fake stupor and rabbit punched Edward in the side of the neck.

Despite Harry only being a half-starved 11-year old, the vampire fell like bitch, and, lying on the ground, stared wide eyed at Harry; he had forgotten that unlike Muggles, wizards - even half trained schoolboys - were mostly immune to a vampire's gaze.

With a calm snap of his fingers, Harry remembered who the vampire reminded him of.

"Diggory." He said with a smirk, turning to Malfoy. The ponce of a blonde had a look of horror on his face as he glanced between the fallen vampire and his nemesis.

"Cedric Diggory, right Malfoy? He's a Hufflepuff...third or fourth year, I think. Really good at Transfiguration, popular guy - you know who I'm talking about?" Harry asked, paying the fallen vampire no heed. The girl, Bella, Harry thought he remembered her being called, had immediately run to the side of her 'Eddy-poo' and was cradling his head.

"Eddy-poo? Talk to me! TALK TO ME EDWARD OH MY GOD!" Harry looked oddly at her until she turned to him, eyes blazing with fury at the boy.

"Petrificus Totalus," he intoned. The girl went stiff as a board and fell to the ground next to Edward. Tears shone in her eyes; Harry went up next to her and patted her head like an ignorant puppy.

"Don't worry, crazy Muggle lady. That vampire's mind control will wear off soon enough." He turned to Draco, who was still whimpering as he looked at Potter.

Harry sighed slightly - why he was ever afraid of dueling Malfoy, he had no clue. "Come on Draco, they taught us how to kill vampires in, like, the second week of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Right after the Flame-Freezing Charm to protect us from Muggle witch-burnings. And honestly those are more dangerous, in my opinion."

Harry ushered Malfoy forward, and pointed his wand at the still form of the vampire, whose wildly moving eyes were the only sign that he was still alive. Well...sort of alive, at any rate.

"What was that incantation? Oh yeah, Telum Caudeum, I think..." Harry said. Malfoy nodded and steeled his nerve, raising his wand to join Harry's, pointed at the vampire.
