The Death Eaters were nearly out of breath and exhausted from their constant apparations. As much as they tried, they could not get far from their pursuer nor could they get to the meeting that Voldemort had summoned them to. They now found themselves in a dark portion of Knockturn Alley. After rushing into an empty store, they decided to wait it out for a few minutes.

\"Do you think we lost whatever that thing was?\" MacNair asked Goyle. Goyle just shook his head. He suspected that their pursuer was still watching and that if they tried to apparate out of there, it would just follow. How, he did not know.

Suddenly, the window crashed and they found themselves facing their pursuer. Whoever it was, was masked, except for the mouth and the chin. MacNair guessed it was a female, judging by the lower portion of the face and a young female at that. He tried to draw out his wand, but the pursuer grabbed him and before he could react, snapped his neck, killing him instantly. Goyle\'s eyes widened in fright and he tried to leave but before he knew it, she was in front of him. She lifted him up and pinned him against the wall. Then, she opened her mouth and revealed she was a vampire. She found Goyle\'s neck and sunk her teeth deep within him, making sure he couldn\'t access her blood. Soon, he fell to the floor, dead like MacNair.

After surveying thore ore to see if there were anymore Death Eaters and using her distance senses, she took off her mask to reveal the face of Hermione Granger. Of course, when she wore her mask, she didn\'t consider herself to be Hermione Granger, but that of a huntress, looking for prey. In this case, the prey were Death Eaters. They satisfied her hunger as well as eliminating dangerous supporters of the Dark Lord. But how did she become a vampire? Well, it had only been about three weeks.

*FLASHBACK*

Hermione Granger had just gotten off the Hogwarts Express at the end of her sixth year and was greeted by her parents. Once they had collected her stuff, they headed back to her house. That night, as she was finishing up dinner and helping her mother with the dishes, the doorbell rang. Mr. Granger answered the door. After a little bit of talking, he popped his head into the kitchen. \"Hermione, somebody\'s here to see you.\"

Curious, Hermione headed to the living room and her jaw dropped in surprise. It was Dan Edwards, her old classmate from her pre-Hogwarts elementary school. \"Dan? Dan Edwards? Is that you?\" she shrieked in surprise, running to give her a hug. He returned the friendly greeting.

\"Hermione Granger! It\'s been a while! I thought I recognized you at the train station,\" Dan said. Hermione\'s face paled. Did he see her wizarding supplies? She hoped not. She was probably being silly. He could\'ve only seen her in the muggle part of the train station considering he was not a wizard, but a muggle instead.

\"Dan, why were you at the train station?\" Hermione asked.

\"I was visiting my aunt in Scotland. I had just gotten off the train and had met up with my parents when I saw you disembarking,\" Dan replied. At this, Hermione\'s parents indicated that they were going to get ready for bed and that Hermione and Dan could stay up as long as they wanted as long as they kept the noise level down.

Hermione and Dan kept talking for a few minutes. Dan looked at his watch and said he had to go. \"Why don\'t you stay for the night? We have a guest bedroom,\" Hermione insisted. But before Dan could protest any further, she had ushered him into the house and closed the door. As she went off to the guest room to prepare it, she did not see Dan give a smirk.

Shortly afterwards, Dan followed her upstairs and into the bedroom. He looked around and had to admit that he was impressed. He saw that Hermione had changed into her nightgown and once again he smirked. As she was about to leave, he grabbed her arm. \"Why don\'t you stay for the night? Your parents won\'t know the difference.\" She agreed and they immediately started kissing and their hands explored each other\'s bodies.

Soon, both of their clothes were on the floor and Dan carried Hermione to the bed. He gently laid her down on the bed and they continued to explore each other\'s mouths and bodies. She moaned gently as he caressed her breasts. She then felt a sharp pain as she felt his cock enter her. The pain passed momentarily and Dan began to thrust. \"Oh, Dan. Fuck me harder! Harder!\" she begged, trying not to scream too loudly that would wake her parents up. He grinned evilly and acquiesced to her request.

They both came around the same time and just as Hermione was trying to force herself not to scream from the sheer pleasure, she didn\'t notice Dan\'s face contort into an ugly scowl and reveal vampiric fangs. Quickly, he struck and bit her neck. She cried out in pain, but he had a hand clamped over her mouth. He then quickly slashed his skin and poured some blood into her mouth. Not knowing what was going on, Hermione found incredible strength and threw him off. She then took out a piece of wood and drove it through his heart.

The struggle must\'ve awoken her parents, because Mr. and Mrs. Granger rushed into the guestroom and found blood pouring from Hermione\'s neck and her shaking. \"Quick! Contact Professor Dumbledore immediately!\" Mrs. Granger shrieked, while covering up her daughter with a blanket. Mr. Granger rushed out of the room and got a handful of floo powder. Remembering where his daughter last spent her summer, he called out, \"Number 12 Grimmauld Place!\"

Minutes later, Mad-Eye Moody, Tonks and Lupin arrived at the Grangers\' place and took Hermione to St. Mungo\'s. There, the healer confirmed the worst: Hermione had been turned into a vampire.

* END FLACK* CK*

Hermione reflected on the past three weeks. After learning she was a vampire, she tried to kill herself by standing out in the sunlight, only to discover that...sunlight does not destroy a vampire, contrary to muggle misconceptions....at least not magical vampires. Because she was a witch when she was turned, she could withstand the sunlight, although it gave her a splitting headache. She was still vulnerable to crosses and holy water and she could still be staked, set on fire or have her head chopped off.

She also discovered that she had the ability to change into a bat, a wolf and the ability to track people, no matter how they moved: walked, run, fly, or even...apparation. She had decided to put this new ability to good use. She made a mask to cover most of her face and dressed in dark clothes. Her plan: track and eliminate Death Eaters. Even though MacNair and Goyle weren\'t exactly the brightest bulbs in the bunch, her test flight (so to speak) had been successful.
