Takes place during Cirque du Freak book 9 and Harry Potter book 6. Sorry it is short, future chapters will be longer! A lot of people have done this type of story before, and I absolutely love the idea, so I just had to do one of my own. Trust me though; there will be a twist unlike any of the other stories with this plot! Pretty much in this chapter Darren finds out he has to go to Hogwarts and why, and that while he's there he can't tell anyone he's a vampire. I LOVE secrets like that… tell me if it was confusing in a review or pm!

I slowly followed Mr. Crepsley down the long hall at Vampire Mountain. All was silent except for our loud footsteps, endlessly echoing throughout the large room. I was a few feet behind the older vampire, and began to quicken my pace in order to walk beside him.

"Mr. Crepsley!" I hissed quietly as we walked towards the Hall of Princes. "What are we doing?" Mr. Crepsley had just approached me and Harkat in our room saying he had to take me to The Hall of Princes.

"Your fellow Princes need to tell you something." He said, shrugging. "How can I know what they want, huh?"

I shifted uncomfortably, wondering what they could possibly need all of a sudden. This was probably to tell me some things about the war, right? That's what they usually wanted with me whenever they called me in, but my gut told me that something very different was going on this time.

"Come, Darren." Mr. Crepsley said to me, slowly pushing the door open with a loud creaking noise.

"Hey Darren!" Vancha said as we entered, grinning. He, I, and Mr. Crepsley were making a quick stop to Vampire Mountain to get some of the latest news about the war and stuff, and to strategize our search for Steve in a quieter place. It proved to be almost for nothing though, considering nearly all the vampires at the mountain had been partying it up drunk two nights ago. Just the next morning I'd gotten word that I'd carried on singing my 'Prince of Ale' song that had become so famous at the mountain a few years ago.

"Hey." I said, as I approached him, Arrow, and Mika. Mr. Crepsley stood waiting behind me. "What's this about?"

"Before Paris passed on," Mika began, "He had an old friend called Dumbledore. Dumbledore was the headmaster at a special school called Hogwarts."

"What do you mean by special? And what the hell does this have to do with the problem at hand?" I asked as I took my seat in the Prince's chair beside Vancha's.

Mika continued, choosing his words carefully. "I'll start somewhere else. Hmm...as you know, you and your two companions have been hunting for Steve, trying to savor and wisely use your few encounters."

"Hunters of the Dusk." Vancha interrupted from beside me.

"Excuse me?" Mika asked.

"We call are selves Hunters of the Dusk." He said proudly, a pleased grin plastered across his face. Mr. Crepsely and I eyed each other.

"No we do not." Mr. Crepsley snorted. "What silliness and randomness made you suddenly burst out this?"

"Larten," Arrow said to him, "Vancha. Enough. Mika please carry on."

"As I was saying, Arrow and I still keep in touch with Dumbledore. Dumbledore recently told us that some of his enemies have joined together with Steve and the Vampaneze."

"Enemies?" I asked. "He's the principle of a school! Why should he have any enemies that would join with Steve?"

"It's a special school Darren. A school of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Wizardry?" I asked incredulously. "That's one of the silliest concepts I've ever heard. Psh."

"Listen Darren. There is a big group of wizards who perform very Dark Magic. They're leader is a horrible being called Voldemort, who has many death eaters, wizards that follow him. Dumbledore believes that he, Steve and the rest of the vampaneze and death eaters have joined together, to defeat their enemies easier."

"Well no one can be even worse than Steve or," I shuddered, "Mr. Tiny? Right?" I mused. Mr. Tiny had to be one of the creepiest beings to ever be part of the universe. He walked around smiling oh so pleasantly at you all the time, with his yellow rain boots, trousers, and heart shaped pocket watch that swung back and forth menacingly. He was old and had white hair, yet I guarantee you he's currently the most horrible and evil being currently active in the universe, followed by Steve.

"Dumbledore has a spy called Snape. Voldemort believes that Snape is one of his loyal death eaters, not Dumbledore's double agent. Snape told Dumbledore that Voldemort plans something horrible at Hogwarts this year. We can only assume that Steve will be involved with this too, thus we are sending you, Larten, and Vancha all to Hogwarts so you can encounter Steve. Here you will have to kill Steve, and without Steve or the Vampaneze, Voldemort will flee to bode his time for another attack. To kill Steve we need to be there and the wizards need us there to kill Steve, thus repealing Voldemort. Your job is also to befriend the students and staff there, so maybe they can use their magic to help you along the way of killing Steve."

"Riiight." I said. "We're going to Hogwarts! To be wiiizards. Gotcha, Leath. Let's dress up for it too." I said sarcastically, still kinda doubtful as to what was going on.

"This is serious Darren. This may be your chance to kill Steve, with all these wizards nearby to help weaken him with their magic."

"Alright," I said, "So let's say I go to this wizard school. What will I do there all year until Steve and this Voldy guy finally decide to show up?"

"Well, Vancha and Larten will be living in the Dark Forest, which is right near the school. They will keep a look out for anything suspicious there. Yet I'm afraid that as for you, since you only look to be 16; you will have to act as a student, even though you most likely don't have the magic ability. We'll find ways to make it look to other students and staff as if you do." Mika murmured, paused, then continued,

"Now Darren. Let's get this straight. We want you to befriend as many other students as possible, all to help you when the time comes. But you MUST NOT tell anyone there about your being a vampire. Not until Voldemort and Steve and their followers show up. You will be at that school starting this September when the new school year starts, and possibly for the whole year until whenever the invasion of Steve and Voldemort take place. No one there will know about Vancha and Larten's presence in the forest except for you, Snape, and Dumbledore. Also, only Snape and Dumbledore will know that you're a half-vampire, and only they will know the true reason that you are at Hogwarts."

"Okay so what grade will I be in at this school?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"You will be posing as a sixth year," Mika said, "Oh and every weekend a special meeting will be arranged by Snape where you can strategize and talk to Larten and Vancha. You will be boarding the train that will take you to Hogwarts in two weeks. Any questions?" Mika finally finished.

I thought about what was going on. So there was such a thing as wizards? And there was a wizard school called Hogwarts? There was also Dark Magic... something which I knew, having met before. Wizards had an enemy too, though! This fact troubled me, and reminded me that Steve may not be the only person out to get the world. Voldemort was their enemy, and he and his death eater wizards all preformed dark magic...? And now he'd teamed up with Steve and the vampaneze so they could both defeat their enemies easier! Well, if this wizard guy, Dumbldoo or whatever who was friends with Paris had a double agent Snoop or something, who said that Voldemort and Steve were going to attck Dumbledore's school... well this was bad. I realized now why we three would have to go to Hogwarts, because Steve would be at the attack. And with wizards by our side, it would be much easier to get that horrible leopard Steve killed once and for all, right?

"I guess not," I said to Mika, "No more questions. Let's just pack my stupid stuff and get this going."

There we have it, folks. Chapter 1! Yay! Now please tell me if there's anything you don't get about this so I can have it be explained in the next chapter. Why don't you leave a review also? It can't hurt, and I REALLY want to know what people think of this. Did i fail to make myself clear? Was it confusing? Let me know! Oh, and PLEASE take my poll! Thanks, review! fRANkiGirL61
