Blood and Wine (Book 1)

Chapter 12

A few hours passed by in the Infirmary, with Madam Pomfrey taking notes on the patients she had to treat today, she had indeed been quite surprised when the Slytherin Vampire had brought a young Gryffindor girl to her, at first she assumed he'd done something to her as part of the rivalry between houses, but she was proven wrong when Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape came into the room, and explained about the situation with the Troll.

"I must say, young Dimitrescu, I am pleased that you saved miss Tyler from the Troll" Dumbledore said to the taller man, while said Blonde haired Gryffindor was laying on one of the Hospital beds, having not woken up just yet.

"After volunteering herself to feed me her blood willingly, it only seemed fair" (Y/N) said to the Headmaster, who smiled back to young Vampiric man with a twinkle in his eyes.

"So... it was you who slew the Troll?" Snape asked with a raised brow, in response (Y/N) raised his hand and extended the long, bladed claws from his fingers, his lips pulling into a smirk as he wiggled his fingers, causing the blades to rub together.

"Yes, I expected it to be much tougher though... I must say it's blood was rather repugnant" (Y/N) replied as his nose wrinkled in disgust as he remembered the foul taste of the Troll's blood on his tongue.

"Either way... you did kill the Troll, and saved two Students, I believe a reward is in order, ten points to Slytherin, for your heroics" Snape said with a smirk on his face toward McGonagall, likely feeling smug that he got the excuse to reward a Slytherin for saving the life of two Gryffindor students.

"Yes, I agree, though I would have to ask that we keep this incident quiet, after all... it is linked to his true nature" Dumbledore said to the other adults in the room, who nodded to his suggestion, (Y/N) was also quite relieved, last thing he wanted was more attention.

"I get the feeling it may be hard to hide a slain Troll from the students... especially if Miss Tyler insists on thanking her saviour" McGonagall pointed out to the Headmaster, she looked to Rose who was still unconscious and resting on the bed she was placed on.

"Yes... for now, I believe that Mr. Dimitrescu should return to the Slytherin Dorms, after such an eventful evening, I imagine he must want some rest?" Snape said as he looked to the much taller man, who looked to the still sleeping Rose before he nodded and left the medical room with his Head of House.

As they walked the halls to the Dungeons, (Y/N) noticed that Snape was limping slightly and looked to be in pain, he could also smell the blood in the air, he took in a deep breath and then exhaled as they made their way to the Slytherin Common Room.

"Your wounded, I can smell your blood, Professor" (Y/N) said as they walked, Snape glanced toward him with caution, his hand moving closer to his Wand, just in case he lost control and tried to attack him.

"Yes... I must have injured myself when searching for the Troll" Snape said to him as he limped along with him, (Y/N) chose to say no more on the matter, they soon reached the House and Snape opened the door, allowing (Y/N) to enter the Common Room, where he heard the students complaining about how the Halloween Feast was cut short.

"There you are, why did you sneak off like that?" Abigail asked as she walked over to him, giving him a look asking him to explain himself, though it clearly wasn't that effective on him.

"I just had some unfinished business to handle, I must say though... considering my greater height, you would have thought someone would have noticed my absence sooner" (Y/N) said casually as he walked into the Common Room, passing by other members of the House as (Y/N) started to make his way to his room for some privacy, also seeing Malfoy giving him a dirty look as he sat with his two slugs.
