Just before 10.00PM, each of the houses' Dark Arts students were escorted to the Great Hall and seated on the floor around what looked like an old leather armchair. NEWT-level Dark Arts students were seated closer to the chair, especially those who have consistently done poorly in the class or refused to cast Unforgivable Curses. At precisely 10.00PM, there was a loud crack and a puff of smoke -- and sitting in the armchair was a man who was unmistakably a vampire. (Anti-Apparition wards in the room were temporarily removed for the dramatic entrance; Dis-apparition from the room remained impossible.) Some of the younger students screamed and tried to get up and run, but were blasted back onto the floor by the Carrows. The vampire seemed quiet and polite enough, but he would leer around the room, sometimes fixating a very creepy gaze at specific students and looking predatory and hungry -- he might even take a long deep sniff and discreetly lick his lips as he seems to look inside you. Once things settled down a bit, the Carrows called up Terry Boot, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, Ruby Savage, Morag MacDougal, Megan Jones, and Ernie Macmillan to stand up at the front near the armchair, using the Imperius Curse if necessary. They would then (and still be under the curse if it was necessary) be given cloves of garlic, a mirror, a Muggle torch/flashlight (with no batteries, as the Carrows don't know how to use it), holy water (supposedly), mustard seeds, bells, and sprigs of juniper and holly respectively. The Carrows then told the other students that they were going to test stupid Muggle methods of warding off vampires and see how ridiculously useless they are. Using the Imperius Curse if necessary to get them close enough and to do what they had to do, they had Terry throw garlic cloves at him (the vampire even picks one up and starts nibbling on it), Neville hold up a mirror (which the Carrows then dropped on Neville 'by accident' after he sat down), Ginny turn the broken flashlight 'on' (the Carrows crowed about how useless Muggle 'teknoophoggy' is), Ruby splash 'holy water' at him, Morag throw mustard seeds at his face, Megan ring bells in his ear (which he seemed to enjoy), and Ernie tickle him with the sprigs of juniper and holly. None of the methods worked, to which the Carrows triumphantly declared as showing how stupid Muggles are, and no wonder why they get killed so easily by dark creatures. The vampire looked like he was trying to hold himself back from jumping on top of Neville and drain him after he was bleeding from having the mirror smashed on him, but he managed to restrain himself as the Carrows moved on to the next event of the evening. After that demonstration, the Carrows brought out a randomly selected Jarvey -- which happened to be Daphne's, although they can't tell the difference between any of them -- that they handed over to the vampire. Amidst much swearing and throwing around of naughty insults, the Jarvey had to be silenced so the Carrows could continue with their lecture. They also brought out a dusty-looking bottle and poured a red liquid into a wineglass, which smelled strongly of blood. The Carrows announced that the blood was from both Justin Finch-Fletchley and Dennis Creevey, and they're going to have the vampire do a taste test. The vampire then sank his teeth in the thrashing Jarvey and drained it of blood after a few minutes, leaving its lifeless body lying on the floor. He then took the wineglass and drank all of the blood in it, then noted that the blood of Mud-bloods tasted inferior even to the blood of a vulgar and nasty animal like a Jarvey. Each of the houses' Dark Arts students was then escorted back to their dormitory for the night and reminded that none of them ought to be out after curfew, or they will let the vampire have his way with them. If your character is in Dark Arts, please comment with their reactions to the demonstration. |
