Alice walked down a winding road in Diagon Alley, in her cat form.  She was an animagus with the incredible gift to transform into any animal she chose.  Alice knew she was fortunate to have this gift, but it came at a price.  She was a vampire, or as the locals would've called her: a bloodsucking demon, leech and many other cruel names.  She didn't care.  She was sixteen, and had been sixteen for eighteen years now and would remain sixteen forever until perhaps an angry villager would shout "Avada Kedavra!" and kill her.  That was the only spell that could kill her.

She suddenly stopped walking.  A boy, who had to have been around sixteen or seventeen had caught her eye.  He had bleached blonde hair and grey eyes, and was being dragged along by his worried looking mother.  He had some followers though.  The kids of about the same age were following him under an invisibility cloak.  She couldn't see them, but she could smell them.  Two boys and one girl, the girl was . . . muggleborn, and one of the boys was half-blood.

She suddenly became curious about why they were following this perculiar-looking boy.  She immediatly decided to follow them.  She wouldn't be able to keep up as a cat, so she hid in an alley and morphed into a bat.  She flew overhead, just close enough that she could make out what was going on, but just far enough that they couldn't see her.

The three kids hid atop a building, trying to peer inside the one the boy had just entered.  This was where Alice had the advantage.  She flew down and landed on the windowsill. 

Inside there was a sort of ritual and she saw one of those dark mark tattoos on the boy's arm.  So, he was a death eater.  Voldemort had sent several requests to her.  I suppose having a vampire on his side would help.  But she'd turned him down.  She wasn't on anyone's side, not his, nor the ministry's.  Although she was good friends with Bellatrix Lestrange.  And she'd had a relationship with Severus a while back.  She was fourteen and he was nearly seventeen.  They'd split up because of the age difference, he'd said.  But yet somehow she was still looking foreward to seeing him, as she was returning to Hogwarts this year.    She hadn't been there since she was human.  Only Dumbledore knew she was a vampire and he was to tell the rest of the staff and students that she was a new student.  But surely Severus would recognize her?  She would tell him she was a vampire anyway.

As the door opened and the blonde boy stepped out, she flew off the windowsill up by the other three kids.  She flew around their heads a few times.  That was enough to scare the red-head boy, the other two following after him to calm him down.

obviously you all should be aware of this (the story is marked as mature) but there is a lot of "inappropriateness" to this story (sex, rape, swearing, etc.) i do not reccomend this story for younger children or more sensitive readers.

you may find differences if you have only watched the movies or only read the books. i have based my story on a combination of the two. some bits will resemble the books, some will be like the movies.

this story is a major spoiler for those of you who haven't read all 7 books or seen all 8 movies. in other words, if you don't know how "It All Ends" don't read this story.
