A/N: Hey, this is my first ever fanfic so bear with me please! This is mainly for girls (like me) who fell for Dimitri in Vampire Academy...he's so dreamy....*sigh*.... Anyway hope you enjoy!

By the way I do NOT own Harry Potter or Vampire Academy (although I'm still praying for Dimitri)

"Welcome, my dear Kai" smiled Dumbledore, as he ushered the young man into the castle, "I hope I shall find that your journey was a pleasant one."

"It was, Professor Dumbledore," Kai returned the smile, and then gazed around at the deserted Entrance Hall. Memories came flooding back to him; he could almost hear the laughter and chatter of the students that had filled the Hall while he was a student. "It feels wonderful to be back."

Dumbledore chuckled, his blue eyes twinkling behind his half-moon spectacles. "I hope that your stay over the coming year will be just as enjoyable as your school days were, Kai. Although I must admit, Professor McGonagall might not approve if a teacher was found zooming through the corridors on his broomstick."

Kai reddened, and opened his mouth to apologize. Dumbledore, however, continued.

"I know that you will take your responsibilities seriously, nevertheless, and that you will make an excellent Charms teacher. Professor Flitwick has been in need of a vacation for a very long time, and I am certain his mind will be at ease knowing that his students are in capable hands."

"Headmaster, I truly appreciate your confidence in me, but I need you to be completely honest with me – what do the students' parents think about you allowing a dhampir to teach at the school?" The question had been on the edge of his mind for quite some time now, and he felt that he could wait no longer to ask it. He needed to know.

The older wizard sighed and looked at Kai's expectant face. "I am afraid there will always be those who strongly oppose such matters, but fortunately Professor Lupin's example has assured that most parents are no longer skeptical about my judgment. They trust that I have chosen a suitable candidate for the job, and that their children will be in no danger. Furthermore, your reputation has preceded you. In spite of the vampiric blood that runs through your veins, you never showed any craving for blood while you were enrolled at Hogwarts. Those who know you truly believe that you have absolute control over yourself."

The tense expression that had been on Kai's face was replaced by a look of relief. "Thank you for trusting me Professor Dumbledore. I can assure you that I will not let you down."

"I believe you, Kai," replied Dumbledore, "Now, I think it is quite time that you got settled into your office. I trust that you remember the way?" Kai nodded and used his wand to levitate his trunks. Dumbledore swept off to a door at the side of the Hall and paused before exiting.

"Goodnight Professor Novak."

Kai could not hold back his grin. "Goodnight Headmaster."

I'm sorry the first chapter was so short (it looks WAY longer in MS Word). Anyway please review and I'll update soon!
