The Vampire Half

Severus Snape worked inside his laboratory. It was about midnight and still no success with the potion. He frowned. He had to add unicorn hair. Severus turned around and looked in the store cabinet for it. He grimly remembered how 8 years ago, the exact potion he had been brewing, changed his life forever.
****** 8 years ago..
A 28-year-old Severus Snape had worked on the Vanishing Potion. He was a Potions Master: the earliest age an alchemist was to be a Potions Master was at the age of 40. He became one at the age of 21! Severus was written down in wizard history for it and he took great pride in it.
That was one of the two things he was proud of.
The second thing was that he was a part vampire. He inherited some vampire features from his grandmother, his mother's mother. She was a powerful vampire. He was faster than any ordinary human, twice stronger and more cunning. He prided himself that he could lengthen his powerful fangs and claws. He was pale as a vampire, but didn't inherit two important vampire things: the thirst for blood and invisibility in front of the mirror.
As he turned to get unicorn hair, the potion behind him exploded and sprayed him all over. He yelled in pain as the potion seared his flesh. It all was over in a few minutes.
Severus tried to use his vampire skills, but to his shock they stopped working. Only his pale reflection stayed.
***** Back to present..
The 36-year-old Severus Snape looked through his cabinet for the unicorn hair, when the potion behind him exploded. It sprayed him from head to foot. When it melted in, he felt a familiar tingling.
Severus looked hardly at his hands, when slowly claws started to grow. He couldn't believe it.
'Uncle Severus?' asked a girl, coming into the Hogwarts dungeon, 'Are you alright?' 'Go to bed Ruby.' Severus told her,' Yes I'm fine. Just fine.'

A 15-year-old Harry Potter slept peacefully in his room. Moonlight washed the room in white illuminating the iron bars of the window.
Hedwig was sleeping, not in her cage, but at Harry's bedstand.
Suddenly, soft footsteps coming up the stairs woke up Hedwig. She opened her yellow eyes at once and hooted softly in Harry's ear.
'Hedwig? What's wrong?' yawned Harry.
Hedwig flew to the door and hid herself in the shadows. Suddenly the door burst open and in came a Death Eater!
Harry screamed. The Death Eater lunged forward to get him, when Hedwig sunk her talons into his back. Then Hedwig began to transform into a human.
Harry couldn't believe it. His beloved pet. an Animagus!
Hedwig was now a woman, which looked familiar to Harry. He couldn't see well because they fought in the shadows.
The witch pulled out a wand and whispered a Petrifying curse at the Death Eater. He slumped down, unconscious.
She stepped into the moonlight. Harry gasped.
'How was your holiday Harry?' she asked in her familiar voice.
Author's Note: Ahaha! A cliffhanger at last! I hate them!
