A Visitor
Author: Minerva McGonagall
Date: 11-18-01 02:57

After Dr. Endikut left her office, Minerva sat there trying to figure out why he'd taken her copy of the Daily Prophet. He seemed like a nice gentleman, anyway. Even though she did not know him very well. They had just hired him, anyway. It sounded like he'd make Defense Against the Dark Arts interesting for the students.

She looked out her window and saw Hagrid heading to his hut. He seemed to be excited about being re-admitted to Hogwarts again. And Minerva was very happy that he'd be able to wipe his slate clean.


Discussion About a Vampire
Author: Dr. Armageddon Endikut

"We are very much concerned about the vampire's escape. You are a great vampire hunter. You should be able to destroy that vampire," said a dementor as I was forced to relive the only night I chose not to slay a vampire.

"I couldn't slay him then, so I sent him here," I said.

"That was a mistake. Vampires, having no soul to start with, are more immune to our power, but are crippled a little," said the dementor.

"I promise I'll find him, but I still may not be able to slay him. I need an assistant. I'll send owls to everyone I know who would be able to finish the deed," I said, remembering that night I did not slay a vampire.

I left the area. It was getting to me. When I found my first clue in the Shetlands, a young woman drained of all her blood, I was on the right track. I eventually found a port. I asked around about any strange behavior about the murdered woman. I posed as a policeman.

"Well officer, I saw her and two men rent a small plane. They were talking about going to Edinburgh," he said.

I boarded the next plane to Edinburgh. The vampire, who was named Alexandrian, committed suicide before I could slay its maker, Hister of Wallachia. Who was the second man? Another desperate prisoner?


Owl from Azkaban

"Two more weeks left of vacation." Snape said. He was sitting inside the Slytherin dormitory. The window was open to let in a cool breeze. "That bloody Potter and his friends better not go messing around this year, damn it!" he sneered. "Just thinking about Potter makes me sick!"

Snape pulled his wand out of his pocket and started to fiddle with it, "If he goes wandering around again he will end up blowing himself up! Just like his father..." he said, then he grinned wickedly. "Not unless I expel him first!" he chuckled.

Just then an owl swooped down through the window and landed on the chair next to Snape. He beckoned the owl onto his arm and took the letter bound to its leg. Snape stared at the letter, (which was from Doctor Endikut), then to the owl.

Snape opened the letter and started to read. He paused in a certain spot and looked back at the owl, "So your name is Hishibar, eh?" he said to the owl. Hishibar gave Snape a light pinch on his finger, then Snape went back to the letter to finish it.

*So a vampire escaped from Azkaban...* Snape thought, *and the Doctor wants me as his assistant?* Snape waved his wand, then out of thin air a treat appeared. Snape snatched it and gave it to Hishibar, who afterwards flew away through the window.

*I wonder who this blood sucking demon is...*


Investigating in Edinburgh, Scotland
Author: Dr. Armageddon Endikut
Date: 11-19-01 18:38

I continued to trail the escaped vampire, known as Alexandrian, but I transfigured my face into that of a detective. I started asking around about anything strange. I only divulged that I was investigating a murder in the Shetlands, which was true. I just didn't say the killer was a vampire. Alexandrian was a wizard before he became a vampire, so he is a little stronger than a Muggle vampire.

Night began to fall as my only response came from Professor Snape. "So what do you know about the..." Snape noticed a few Muggles nearby, "escaped convict?" he continued.

"He was with a second man in the Shetlands along with the murder victim. He was once a member of our abilities (trying to tell Snape the vampire was a wizard), before he joined the gang, (implying became a vampire)," I said.

"I see, name?" Snape asked.

"Alexandrian," I said.

"Isn't that the name of your..." Snape started.

"Yes, it is, if I knew he was that much in it when he..." I started.

"I know he was," Snape said remembering Alexandrian, the wizard. "I heard he was a great athlete for my house, (implying Alexandrian was a Slytherin)," he continued.

"We should patrol since the night is a bit foggy. Perfect for us to use our brooms and vampire detectors, but if I know Alexandrian, he teamed up with someone who is not a vampire, but does have an evil heart. Most likely another prisoner, or someone who wanted his help," I said mounting my broom. I attached my vampire detector to it. It kind of looked like a bike mirror, only it had the ability to scan a radius of ten miles of land below the broom.

"To keep this as secret from the Muggles as possible make a thunderclap (the sound of thunder, made by a wizard clapping)" I said, flying up into the sky.


Vampire Hunting in Edinburgh, Scotland and Business
Author: Dr. Armageddon Endikut
Date: 11-20-01 07:36

I was flying through Edinburgh when I picked up a faint trail of vampire aura. It led to a train station. Judging by the intensity of the aura the vampire was gone for an hour. The last train was to London. I produced a thunderclap to summon Snape. I then sent Hishibar to order some more WD Rom Books (a talking or word displaying device that uses WDs, which is an enchanted tree heart that tells the WD Rom books) to Hogwarts.

Snape arrived. "What did you find out?" he asked.

"He took a train to London," I said. "Did you find out anything?" I asked.

"Yes, a man who was described as Pettigrew, they met with a third man," he said.

"Well if they are going to where I think they are, I should cast an anti-vampire spell," I said.

"Ok, I'll search London," Snape said.

"I'll be in London in a few days, if we can't find him by August the 30th," I said as we parted ways.


Search in London
Author: Prof. Snape
Date: 11-20-01 19:21

Snape rose higher and higher into the night sky above London, carrying the vampire detector that was tied to his broom. Nothing seemed to come up on the radar, "Bloody thing!" Snape snarled.

Then a sound whistled in the distance, Snape pulled out his wand in case he needed it. An outline was now visible ahead of him in the distance, the whistle grew louder and the figure grew bigger.

"LUMOS!" Snape cried, then a shrieking scream filled the air. Surely the Muggles could hear it! Snape clapped his hands, and a roar of thunder sounded.

"Severus!" came the voice of Dr. Endikut. Snape turned to face the direction where the Doctor called. The whistling sound came again louder than before. Snape quickly turned around.

Then, out of no where a hooded figure came racing towards Snape. Before Snape could do anything, the hooded man grabbed Snape by his neck, causing them both to fall to the streets of London.

Snape landed onto the stone ground on his back, the man still clutching Snape's neck. Trying to pull him off, Snape grabbed the other arm trying to yank him off.

Snape started to feel dizzy, on the edge of fainting. The man started to laugh, "I remember you!" he said, he pulled of his hood. It was Alexandrian.

"I remember how you loathed me!" Alexandrian cried, then he bared his fangs, "Perhaps if you were to become a vampire like myself," he said, "the Doctor will hunt you down buying me some time while I travel to Hogwarts!"

Alexandrian lowered his fangs to Snape's neck, "LUMOS!" a voice cried, Alexandrian instantly flew off, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Rolling over on his side, Snape was gasping for air. He could see Dr. Endikut running towards him. Taking another breath, Snape fainted.


Peeves' Peeves

Date: 11-20-01 22:11

*Peeves busies himself, quietly, amongst the bustle to ready the Great Hall for the arrival of students.. He hovers in the shadows near the hearth in the kitchen and snatches iron ladels from the cooking pots and the nearby preparation tables.. He hides beneath the tables where the polished silverware is neatly sorted and snitches eight forks here, ten knives there, a dozen spoons or so, one by one...*

*Filling a large bread basket with his metal bounty, he floats a little lower, laboriously hauling his load as quietly as possible, and makes his way up the stairs and through the halls until he reaches the wing where Dr. Endikut's room lies. He stashes the basket behind a large statue of a Wasselgnome and slips through the wall... He waits... *


Heh Heh
Author: Peeves
Date: 11-20-01 23:15

*With no students yet in residence at Hogwarts and most of the Professors and staff USED to his constant hijinx, Peeves has nothing better to busy himself with at the moment, so he musters the patience to wait and concentrate all of his efforts on this one, momentary target. ...He smiles to himself and rests quietly on the other side of the wall.*

*Finally, he hears Dr. Endikut at the end of the corridor, bags in hand, toting his satchels on his return from Scotland...*

"Heeheee!" *Peeves mind cackles and sparks to ...(after)life...*

*Endikut enters his room and sets his bags down heavily and begins to rustle around in his quarters.*

*Peeves floats across the hall and peeks his head through the transom to have a quick look around...*


Relieved

"I am glad you are ok, Severus. Looks like you are just startled, but you are out cold," I said as I scanned with my detector but got nothing. "Ennervate!" I said over Snape and he came to. "There now, I don't have to carry you. What did you learn?" I said.

"He wanted to make me a vampire so you would hunt me while he went to Hogwarts," he said.

"Then we have only one choice," I said, walking to an official Floo in the Floo network and transported through it to Hogwarts. "This will require a lot of magic to cover the entire grounds and Hogsmeade. Garlicis Growin Gallover!" I said, remembering the spell from my youth. Garlic grew about the grounds, accompanied by wolfsbane for more strength and mint to make it smell better.

I decided to go to my room to rest a while as Hishibar and Snape searched London some more. I notice some silverware behind a statue and returned it to the kitchen. It had been a while but I still remembered Peeves' antics. I always liked to transfigure statues into the shape of the Bloody Baron to frighten Peeves. But it angered the teachers, and they always thought it was some Slytherin.

I sensed Peeves nearby. I turned and aimed my wand at Peeves and said "Garlico (that made whatever I aimed at smell like a very strong garlic). There now, I will know where you are," I said with a smirk.


Another Search in London
Author: Prof. Snape
Date: 11-21-01 08:06

Since Dr. Endikut was still at Hogwarts, Snape and the Doctor's owl, Hishibar, were on their way back to London.

"Pettigrew... where have I heard that name before?" Snape wondered out loud. It began to rain (closely followed by lightning)

Hishibar flew onto Snape's broom. Snape looked down and saw lights that came from none other than the city of London. Snape flew down and landed in the street, but to his surprise, the streets were deserted. There was no Muggle in sight.

Hishibar flew onto Snape's shoulder. "What the devil... why isn't anyone here?" said Snape. Hishibar pecked at Snape's ear, who turned around just in time to see two shadows coming his way. Snape hid quickly.

Snape watched closely as the two men came into view, one man was tall and wearing a long cloak and a hood, the other however was short, chubby and bald. "Master, Alexanderian should be within Hogwarts shortly" the bald man said, then the hooded man turned to face him, "Pettigrew, I thought I told you to accompany Alexandrian!" he hissed, the voice made the mark on Snape's arm burn with pain. Hishibar ruffled his feathers.

Snape turned to see another man coming. He was wearing a cape and had a symbol of some sort tied around his neck, "Master!" he said, as he bowed. "I'm sorry master, I couldn't enter the school" he said again, Pettigrew hesitated "What?!" he cried, but the hooded man raised his hand for silence.

"Why...?" said the hooded man. The caped man shuddered, "the doctor and his assistant bewitched the entire school so it would be covered in garlic, and you know I cannot stand garlic." he said. The hooded man placed his hand on the caped one's shoulder, "I understand, you are forgiven, Alexandrian," he said.

"Who was the doctor and his assistant?" asked the hooded man, "and what was the doctor's name?" Alexandrian fell to his knees, "Armageddon Endikut, my lord." he said.

At that moment Hishibar flew up to the sky to warn the doctor, which was a big mistake! Alexandrian, Pettigrew and the hooded man turned to see where the noise came from, and Snape realized he dropped his broom in the shadows on the other side of the street...

"Someone is here listening to our conversation..." the hooded man hissed.


Hisibar's Message
Author: Dr. Armageddon Endikut
Date: 11-21-01 18:28

Hishibar flew in frantic. He grabbed a keyboard and typed, "Snape is in trouble." With six more days until class, I had to get Snape back. I asked a former vampire hunter student of mine to track Alexandrian, but we knew he was heading to Hogwarts. I tossed some Floo powder into the fireplace and the fire turned green. "London, nearest fireplace Professor Severus Snape is at," I said.

I was transported to a fireplace of a priest, and I noticed Snape out the window. I burst through it with a plan and the rain started beating down on us, and I got an idea. I crawled back in and said, "Sorry about the window, reverend, can you do me a favor and bless this rain?" I asked.

"Very well, but I did enjoy that window," he said blessing the rain.

There were screams from outside, and I helped Snape inside as the terrible three ran out of the holy rain.

"Reparo," I said. I then looked at the surprised Muggle's face.

"Obliviate," Snape said as I escorted out the confused reverend. I tossed in Floo powder and we took turns going back to Hogwarts. We should prepare for our students classes and keep our eyes peeled.


Studying Student Records and Drinking Tea
Author: Dr. Armageddon Endikut
Date: 11-22-01 01:20

I was in my office, near the library, also near the Ravenclaw common room. I was sipping tea while looking at student records, removed and added points, grades and gripes. It seemed a few Gryffindors and Slytherins have been fighting over this and that. I looked at one name, Harry Potter. Could it be the same that stopped him multiple times? I sipped my tea.

"Oh, It is good to see you again, Armageddon. What have you been up to?" asked the Grey Lady, reading a book.

"Well after Hogwarts, I continued my education studying monster slaying. After I graduated that school, I hunted off and on. Eventually, I went for a doctorate in Muggle computers. It inspired me to make the WD rom book and Wizardnet," I said.

"Very good. This is a wonderful book. I start reading it every thirty years. Can you try to get some new books for the library?" she asked.

"Sure, I've hooked up a wizard internet. You are welcome to use it," I said, pointing at a fancy crystal ball with an antenna sticking out.

"Ooh, interesting! Something to read instead of old spellbooks!" the Grey Lady said.

"It is a wizard's internet or wizardnet. Just click the wand logo by aiming a wand, or your finger," I said.

"I wish I knew how to work this thing," she said.

"Hold on, I'll show you," I said, placing my tea and research down to show the Grey Lady how to work the wizardnet.

*...Seeing that Endikut is busy reading, Peeves decides to wait awhile. The kilt clad clansman, from the large painting on the wall, seems to have slipped out for a bit of tea with the one armed Lady Winchell in her painting on the third floor. Peeves slips into the painting and settles down behind a rock in the corner ...*

*...to stay awake, Peeves watches until Endikut's eyes become heavy and he places his book on the bedside table and crawls in, behind the bedcurtains and settles down.*

*When wood saw snoring begins to make it's heavy regular rasping, Peeves slips out of the painting and unlocks the door, opening it, ever so quietly, just enough to pull the heavy basket of silver and metalwear into the room.....*

*With all the ghostly strength he can muster at this wee hour, he heaves it onto his arm and laboriously totes it to the ceiling by the bed.*

*....heave.....*

CRASH CLANKLE CLANG SPANGLE SMASH TINKLE TINKLE TINKLE

*.....the contents of the basket hit the wooden floor and bounce and clang as the clutter echoes in the otherwise hollow sounding room ....*

Heeeeeeeeeeeeee! *Peeves screeches with glee as Endikut jolts awake and springs from the bed in a panicked scream*

*bowing* My work here is done. *smiling proudly, Peeves floats upward through the ceiling and off t'ward The Owlery*
