So You're A Vampire

Collecting People

They spent the next few hours working in the lab trying to figure out what the venom was, and how the potion mixture made a living vampire. After several test and no results, Potter looked at Snape. "We have to go to dinner."

Snape cast Tempus. "Wonder what he will pull now?"

Potter just gives him a small grin "you can handle whatever he pulls. We know he is working on separating us. Don't you find it interesting we haven't seen Hagrid or Slughorn?"

"You don't think he will try something with them do you?" Snape asks.

"He might, he is getting desperate. I don't think he will do it in the Great, but he might try it in the halls or something. Give Hagrid a way to escape if he did it in a hall."

"You would kill them, if they tried that."

"I know, which is why we need to make sure it doesn't happen."

"Your cloak should do the trick. Since I am only slightly shorter than you, we should be fine with it."

"Or we let them." Potter grins.

"You have a plan."

"Yes, we have some of our Ministry people outside and see if he tries anything while they hide. If anything happens, you can let them know." Potter tells him.

"How will I keep you from hurting one of them? You know you won't be exactly Mr. Calm and Charming."

"He will most likely use Hagrid to grab me, while Slughorn tries to slip you a Dreamless Sleep Potion or something. How he thinks a Potion Master won't notice is beyond me?"

"That was done at breakfast. I saw Kreacher quickly replace it. I don't think anyone else saw him."

"I did, he has been doing that with all of our food and drink if something is in them." He pauses "Kreacher."

"Yes Master Highness, like the new role. Master Smells."

"Kreacher, anything?"

"Senile is going crazy with ideas, he has been furious with all the ones that have been ruined by you. Great job on that, saved us a lot of work. Winky says he is going to push for the collar thing. He is working on trying to get it in front of Idiot, but no one will listen, including Idiot. Screeches is begging him to use the contract, so is Trashy. Trashy is whining to everyone how unfair it is. The moron twins are useless, neither have a clue. Crazy One and Can't Decide are telling others truth. Wolfie is also working on it."

"Thank you Kreacher, keep it up. Have Winky and Dobby watch them."

"Senile is also trying to get Quill Lover out."

"Really? Now he wants to try that. Interesting. Keep an eye on that."

Kreacher disappears.

"Quill Lover?"

"Umbridge, she had a blood quill she was using on students. I switched it out. She only thinks it is working I left a charm in her office for that. So the students just write lines but she thinks the quill is working."

Snape looked at him, he felt his anger rising "I know you told us the other night, why didn't you tell anyone sooner?"

"I did, I told McGonagall, and got told to keep my head down, when she said that, I decided to act and switch them out. Dumblejerk knows, the wards told him and he didn't do a thing. He wasn't even talking to me or interested in me, until this started. So don't you even think of taking it out on me." The anger is clear in his voice, so was the hurt.
