Epilogue
Chapter 14 of 14
themistresssnapeEpilogue
Harry and Ron would rather have taken Cedric up to the hospital wing, but the older boy refused to go until he had seen for himself that Hermione was gone. And so they stood on the front lawns of Hogwarts, Cedric supported between them, and stared into the mountains around them. For a fleeting second, Cedric thought he saw some shining, glittering thing in the trees by the road. But as soon as his eyes focused on it, it was gone.
“She’s gone, Ced,” Harry whispered sadly. His green eyes scanned the horizon even while he knew he could not see her. “I don’t understand what’s happened, but she’s gone.”
Cedric stumbled away from them, clutching his wounded wrist to his chest. He stared at the trees where he had seen the glittering object. Deep in his heart, he knew that he had seen her. It was his last glimpse of the girl he loved, the girl that Severus Snape had turned into a vampire.
He understood everything now. The pieces of the puzzle had all fallen into place, and there could be no more doubt. A vampire had lived in the castle for almost thirty years, and Dumbledore had known the entire time. While Cedric would hate Severus Snape until his dying day, he felt new hatred bubble through him as he thought of the headmaster. It was he who was to blame for what happened to Hermione, now and until the end of time.
With a grunt, Cedric turned back to his new friends. His face was set in a grimace. “C’mon, guys. We’re going to settle a few things with Dumbledore.”
He didn’t wait for an answer, but strode up the lawns with renewed strength. Although he couldn’t see them, he felt Harry and Ron fall into step on either side of him. Dumbledore would not feed them lies any longer. They were going to get the truth, and then they were going to find Hermione.
And So Ends The First Part of The Hogwarts Vampire Chronicles

I have enjoyed this story immensely! i have always found Snape as a vampire stories incredibly fascinating and the addition of a sincere and bashful Cedric is extremely enticing. i like the way you play with your characters and hope to the heavens that you will complete the second part soon... there is nothing more depressing than a well written but abandoned story... keep it up!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
I'm working on the second part now! I lost my muse in the middle of having kids and working, but it's back! I'll be adding a new chapter soon! Thanks for reading! ~ The Mistress
OK, a cliffhanger ending, I'm a bit saddened by that but it is quite understandable. What is the name of the next story in the series so I can follow it?
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
I couldn't help that. It just seemed right. The second story is called Vampire Hunting and the prologue and first chapter are already up. ~The Mistress

Interesting story so far, quite enjoyable.

Thank you very much!~The Mistress
Interesting, if Cedric is figuring things out will he still be accepting of Hermione?

I can't find my magical beasts book. What is a vampyr mosp? It looks as though Snape found a way to say MINE and really mean it. I'm enjoying this flic and I'm glad you're considering a series.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
I'm not sure they appear in the books, but they are in the GoF video game. They're these flying creatures that sting and paralyze someone. Annoying little buggers. I've actually started part 2 of the series, it's under Vampire Hunting. Thanks for reading!~The Mistress

You ended "Beautiful Terror" with a real cliffhanger, evil you. I think you have a built-in audience for "Vampire Hunting." I know I looked for this as soon as I finished "Terror." If Sev isn't meant to be with Hermione, I'll be glad to offer my neck.

Go Cedric. Dumbledore has some repenting to do. It seems that Cedric won't let him off easily, and that's good. The old man's a menace.I'm looking forward to the next installment, as you can't just leave us all hanging here.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Of Course Dumbledore isn't getting off easily! Cedric is pissed! Anyway, I've actually started on the prologue to part 2: Vampire Hunting and hope to have it out soon. University is a little crazy right now, and I'm down with the flu, so bear with me. ~The Mistress

*Sniff* That was so sad! How could she just up and leave like that? And what she did to Severus... he was just trying to save her.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
She's conflicted. She loves him, but she loves Cedric, too. She wants Cedric, but she didn't want to take his blood. And Severus forced it on her. She doesn't kow how to dealw ith that. ~The Mistress

Ugh! Cold fish sex. Eww. How old is Hermione in this story? If she's at school with Cedric that would make her like 14, wouldn't it? Little young for Snape, unless Cedric failed 7th year a few times.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
It's only their bodies that are cold, honey! Anyway, as it is alternate universe, i bumped Hermione and the boys up a few years, so they are just a year below Cedric. But remember, Hermione was born in September, which makes her a year older than the rest of her class. So, she's 17. Sorry for the confusion. ~The Mistress
Response from Morsmordre (Reviewer)
I understand its AU but its Herm's 4th year when Diggory kicked it. so even with the time turner the MoM only added 1 year to her age so at most in 4th year, she'd be 16 and Cedric was 17. But Snape is a Teacher (not that I care, if I was there) just saying it should be a tad bit clearer on Cedric still being alive and that they are all older so it doesn't look like sex with a minor. That's all I was concened about."After all, there ARE rules to follow, don't you know?"Signed,Percy Stick-up-my-arse WeasleyJunior Undersecretary to the Garden Gnomes!!!!

i didn't know there was an epilogue. dumbledore has a lot to answer for now and always. thanks so much
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Yes, well, I hadn't planned on one, but that last bit just didn't feel like it fit at the end of chapter 12. I'm not sure yet what will happen to Dumbledore just yet, but trust me it will be drastic. ~The Mistress

I know. The situation is far more than just sad. I hope to begin working on part two soon, but university is getting a tad hectic right now. Thank's for reading!~The Mistress

Does a small part of humanity still exist in Hermione? How sweet that she warned him of when she would be dangerous and allowed him to leave.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Yes, it does. And she's fighting to bring it back. ~The Mistress

So, did he figure it out? But I like that he trusts her. Severus is not going to be happy at all.

Now, I could't tell you that! It would be far too easy! ~The Mistress

The most horrid of all tortures: to be in the bed of the perfect man, and unable to appreciate your circumstance!! Really interesting turns here. I'm sure we'll get to here more from Severus soon. I do miss him! =]
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Don't I know it! Hopefully, 'Mione will get another chance. And as for Severus: yes, we will be hearing more from him very soon! ~The Mistress

That was frightening. Severus is not a happy vampire.

Of course he isn't. And, unfortunately, it gets much worse. ~The Mistress

Oops, Professor Sprout let Albus's lie be found out. Interesting chapter, I wonder what Hermione will do about Cedric, and how Severus feels about it.

Let's just say, he won't be a happy camper. ~The Mistress

Haunting text my dear. I think it's really well written and dramatic. I think that it will take several chapters before we can really get into the beefy triangle I'm hoping for. =) I know! I know! I'm so bad...lol. What can I say? I think it would be verrrry hot if Ced was bitten too by Hermione and then there were three vampires, two of whom love Hermione like crazy. Sigh...Anyway, keep up the fantastic work Mistress. It's a really good fic.

I don't know where this is going but I'm loving the ride there!This is such a different story that I can not help but be drawn in to it! Excellent job!

This chapter really made me feel sorry for Albus. You can feel the tension even though this was a fairly short chaper.

I think you're the only one. I kind of get disgusted with him, he's so manipulative. ~The Mistress

Interesting chapter, Albus certainly has his work cut out for him. Cedric's dreams caught my attention. Is he having some kind of 'dream true'?
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Not really, it's just that he has Hermione on his mind all the time and so he's really "attuned" to her. ~The Mistress

No, it won't ever be OK. And why doesn't Hermione want to leave? She can't stay.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
It was the first place she ever felt truly at home. It's hard to leave that. But you're right, she can't stay. ~The Mistress

poor ced. i don't think this is going to have a happy ending. i always root for the vampires and except for love at first bite they almost never win. thanks so much for this facinating update to an enthralling story.

Don't give up yet! This is only the first part of the series. I've got a plan for at least one sequel, maybe two. You never know, Ced may just get his girl! ~The Mistress

Albus's temper tantrum got him no where. That was not very smart of the old man.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of Beautiful Terror)
Yes, I'm afraid it was a bad idea to cross Severus. I was tempted to leave bruises on the headmaster's neck, but I thought that might be a bit obvious. ~The Mistress
