Chapter Thirteen

Revealing

Tuesday morning, Hermione slumped into her seat as worry consumed her about what Hans would do. They had Defence first and his threat still rang in Hermione's ears.

Harry looked up from his good morning kiss with Ginny and caught sight of Hermione's worried face. "Mione?" He asked softly. The vampire turned to look at him. "Yes?" She replied. "Are you okay?" Harry said, eyes not wavering from her face.

Hermione sighed heavily. "Yeah. It's just the threat that Professor Christophe made is keeping me on edge. He wouldn't let me explain." She told him, trying to smile and make Harry relax. Harry's emerald eyes narrowed, knowing she was lying. Her inner turmoil was showing clearly in her eyes. He shot a quick look to where Hans was sat and saw that the Vampire Hunter was stared intently at Hermione with a cruel smirk on his lips, his dark eyes twinkling malevolently.

Harry patted Hermione's hand. "Forget it. It's unlikely he'll act. After all, he is a Professor and can get sacked. Don't worry." He assured his friend. Hermione nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks Harry. I knew there was a reason I loved you." She teased. Harry grinned. "Sure it's not my good looks and charm?" Hermione snorted. "Yeah, right." She joked.

Another owl followed the usual daily prophet Owl into the Great Hall. He circled the ceiling, before spotting the pale beauty that was the recipient of the letter he clutched in his talons. With an almighty flap of his huge wings, the owl flew down to the person and landed, his dark eyes boring into the receiver's and his leg held out for them to remove the letter.

Hermione joked around a bit more with Harry and Ginny before her usual owl landed before her. She gave it the money and some toast before watching it soar out of the window. She was just turning back to Harry when another Owl landed in front of her.

This owl was a large black owl with piercing yellow eyes. Hermione got a bad feeling, but took the letter. The Owl seemed to scowl at her before taking flight again and soaring out of the window. Curiously, Hermione opened the letter.

Granger,

Now you have witnessed our power. You saw what happened when Theodore Nott refused to join us. If you think that's bad, just wait. We'll tear your family to pieces and burn them piece by piece, leaving you alive until last. Then we'll move onto Potter and will do as we did to Theodore to him. Watch your back, the time is drawing near.

Hermione dropped the letter in shock and began to tremble. Harry turned to see her face and picked up the letter. He scanned it and met her eyes. "The same people as last time?" He asked. Hermione nodded. "Nott said they were worse than the Deatheaters." She whispered. Harry hugged her. "We'll be fine. We'll catch them, I swear. Maybe Alice can help." He suggested, hoping that the pixie like Vampire maybe able to see who the Letter Writers were.

He looked up at the Teachers and his eyes narrowed on Hans. Harry had a nasty feeling that he was behind a part of this. After all, he had threatened Hermione a number of times before.

The bell went, bringing Harry out of his thoughts. He pecked Ginny on the lips as she darted off to her friends before picking up his own bag. Hermione joined him and the two headed off to Defence Against the Dark Arts with Hermione's new enemy.

Hans surveyed his class as they settled down, waiting for him to talk. "I know we did Vampires a while ago, but I just want to recap." He began, his eyes locking onto Hermione's own eyes.

Hermione felt fear grip her as she met Hans' eyes. They were cold and his next words filled her with dread. "Would you know a Vampire if you saw one? Tell me, is there one in this room right now?" Hans asked, leaning back on his desk.

The students all looked at each other before turning back to their Professor. "Well?" He asked. They all shook their heads and Hans smirked. Hermione's heart dropped.

"You are all blinded by the fact you have known this person for years. But there is a Vampire sat in this very room." Hans told them. The class gasped and stared at him, wondering who it was. Hans' smirk grew. "Miss Hermione Granger is a Vampire."

"Tell me, have any of you seen her eat this year? Or the fact her eyes change colour?" The class moved away from Hermione in fear at once. Everyone except Harry and Neville.

"What are you doing? Get away from her. She's dangerous now." Seamus called to the two boys. "If she was going to hurt us she would have done as soon as she arrived. Plus, you saw her with Nott. There was blood everywhere and she didn't react. Didn't even bite him." Neville defended.

"But she won't remember you. Vampires never retain their memories." Dean agreed with Seamus. "Actually, I remember everything. My memory crossed over as well as my magic. Most of my family, or Coven, can remember things about their human life. Only Alice can't." Hermione argued.

Everyone's curiosity grew and they took a step closer so they could listen to the story of her family. Hermione smiled and began to tell each Member of the Cullen Family's history.

"How were you turned?" Neville asked cautiously, not wanting to upset Hermione. "After Ron died, I went to America to stay with my Cousin, Bella. I was haunted by the war and was often sad. Then I met Edward. We were attracted and I was his Singer, a person whose Blood a Vampire desires above all others. I told him I knew he was a Vampire and we began to date."

"Then Alice, the seer, saw Bellatrix Lestrange, who had teamed up with a Vampire that wanted Bella dead after Edward killed her mate protecting her, was coming with an Army of Deatheaters and Newborns. I told them I was a witch and my story and we planned for a battle. Harry turned up with the Order as well."

"We won, Bellatrix dying as well as Victoria. But in revenge, Bellatrix's husband used a dark curse. It was killing me so, to save me, Edward bit me. I woke up resistant to Human Blood, but Animal blood was fine to me. So I got to come back to Hogwarts." Hermione explained, smiling.

Hans scowled as the last person left his class after Hermione's story. His plan had backfired and, although the students were still wary of Hermione, the class had loved hearing about Vampires from a real one's point of view.

Hermione and the class walked down to the lake, seeing as she had promised to show them what being a Vampire entailed. They gathered more followers as the gossip spread that Hermione Granger was the living dead. Soon a large crowd, including teachers, had gathered outside by the Black Lake.

Hermione walked over to a tree and uprooted it, throwing it as if it were merely a light stick. She ran at Vampire speed to catch and brought it back. She grinned as the crowd's faces became stunned.

"Its easy." Hermione told them. Harry laughed at her, despite the fact he too was stunned. He had never seen Hermione's strength or speed properly. "Yeah, for a Vampire." He joked. Hermione's laughter filled the air and Harry and Ginny joined in.

Later that evening, Hermione sat at the window in the common room, not moving or blinking. Harry stared at her, amazed that she was so still. "I'm off to bed." He told her, Ginny having already gone up to bed over an hour ago. Hermione turned to face him with a smile on her face. "Night, Harry. Love you." She told him, kissing his cheek.

Somewhere else into the night, a red eyed man walked into an alleyway, similar to the one he had entered a few months ago. Like the last alley, this one was filled by the homeless. "Good evening. I am here to offer you power." He hissed. Some of the homeless cried out in fear of his red eyes. But one, a young man, stepped forward. "I want power." He said firmly. The red eyed man smirked. "This may hurt."
