Tragic victim?

It sounds like the plot of some muggle horror film. Three best friends, enjoying a night on the town, separated in the dark alleys of a small village only to be attacked, leaving two of the friends dead. For the survivor, the ordeal should be over, but alas no, that would make an incredibly short film. Supposedly safe within the walls of the hospital she is recovering in, our heroine is brutally attacked in the morgue, another attack which left the coroner dead.
It would make gripping viewing no? However this isn't the world of make believe for one Finlay Mackenzie, as she is that heroine, she is the survivor of a series of attacks that have robbed three people of their lives.
The merciless murders of August Jensen and Scott Kovac that night in the quaint, rural village of Hogsmeade shot through the wizarding world like wildfire, with theories as to the unknown assailant's identity being the main gossip point. Who had done it? Stolen the life of two students with bright futures and no enemies? Why had they taken the body of the deceased Mr Jensen and left Mr Scott's body to be whisked to St Mungo's by Miss Mackenzie? Who then also attacked the sole survivor within the walls of the hospital which was meant to be protecting and healing her.
The question should really be, why did she live? The attack left St Mungo's coroner dead, but yet again, Miss Finlay Mackenzie managed to survive the attack with a few bruises and cuts. Does this young lady, a sixth year Hufflepuff, really have more lives than a cat? Perhaps everyone has been so shocked by the tragic deaths of two students with such bright futures that no one really had a chance to look at the details. Not us, dear readers. Nor had it missed the notice of one hospital employee who wishes to remain anonymous. Our source's insights have begged us to ask the questions:Did -she- do it?
Let's look at the facts shall we? Miss Mackenzie still claims, through both attacks (which she miraculously survived though others perished), that she never saw the assailant which either means they were extremely calculating and clever, or Miss Mackenzie is covering something. According to our source, a conversation was heard between Miss Mackenzie and a family member where the greiving teen sobbed about her unrequited love for the deceased Mr Kovac. Reports from various sources around Hogsmeade declare that Miss Mackenzie is well known within the village for her underage drinking and drug taking. On the night in question, witnesses who were at the Three Broomsticks claim they say Miss Mackenzie flee the pub without even stepping two feet inside the door or saying a word to anyone. She was closely followed by the two males. Outside, witnesses claim heated words were exchanged between Mr Kovac and Mr Jensen before they split up. Had the two fated male students tried to talk sense into a drugged up, alcoholic female? Had she lashed out?Is she covering for someone?
Do not ask us why she would. Her best friends were slaughtered. Why on Earth would she protect their identity? Though, knowing now that Miss Mackenzie is no stranger to narcotics, there is no telling what her brain might be thinking.Was it the Vampires
The night Miss Mackenzie was attacked in St Mungo's, Mr Kovac's body disappeared. Had the killer come back to claim the body of their second victim just as they had claimed the body of Mr Jensen? Was it for some sort of sick and sordid sorcery linked to the use of bodies? Maybe, but maybe not. According to our source, the autopsy reports for Mr Kovac showed what could have been a bite mark to the neck, though it was inconclusive considering the other injuries his body had sustained. Was it a vampire attack that ended the mortal lives of Mr Jensen and Mr Kovac and, if so, did it end them completely?
