Harry Potter and the Vampire Bride
ESKK: Ok this is a crossover with Hellsing so yea and this time I'm doing thing differently. Basically put Harry will have his own Alucard in the form of Mina Harker. Yeah it's one of those fics and the only one that had this premise I'm afraid may be dead so here is my attempt. Anyway let us begin.
"Talking."
'Thinking.'
"Demon/Monsters/power unsealed."
(Scene Break)
*Music Insert
(Start)
Lily knew that this was her only option; the mere thought of what Dumbledore would say if he ever found out what she was doing made the red haired woman shiver. Her green eyes narrowing as she contemplated the mausoleum before her, she was feeling confident she had found what she was looking for. The vampire bride of Dracula had been barely mentioned in the history books only one obscure text had even hinted at where she lay and Lily had found her. She just hoped that she would live to tell of it. Even though she knew that she could never breathe a word of her slight defection to anyone. Bolstering herself and drawing on all of her lagging courage she drew her wand and opened the tomb.
Behind her was her husband James and their best friends Sirius and Remus. Remus was brought along despite the full moon as protection since it's a known fact Vampire and Werewolves aren't always on good terms. And Remus was happy enough to put that monster side of his to some use if it meant protecting his best friends. James was against it at first but after reading up on Mina from her diary they had located she was better than the other brides or worse Dracula himself. Of course by all intents and purposes she was dead once she was cut off from Dracula himself by Dr. Abraham Van Hellsing… but it was possible to revive her with the right means. Those things were as followed, virgin blood, vampire blood, and the alchemic make up of a human body, and most of all the main ingredient Resurrection Stone. The last bit was very difficult to locate since it was only spoken of in legends and stories but after Lily had all but demanded why Voldemort did as he did was Lily able to locate it.
She saw the thing was cursed but if Mina was as powerful as her husband was then it should be child's play for her to remove the curse which was in the Ring of Salazar Slytherin that ironically held the Resurrection Stone. "Lily are you sure this will work. She betrayed Dracula for a reason you know." James said as he heard Mina was like Dracula own Bellatrix which made Sirius shudder that Mina may very well revert to her feral blood sucking state.
"Well if we can't rely on the light to protect Harry then this is our best option." Lily said as she was not going to let her baby die just to kill Voldemort.
"I hope you know what you're doing Lily." Remus said as Lily looked to Mina's corpse.
"So do, I." Lily said as she made the signal to start setting up and be quick about it. Mina had slumbered for over three hundred years, her once beautiful features desiccated and flaking and her hair bleached of its once lustrous color, it lay in long tangles around her head. Lily observed the rictus like grin on the corpse's features and once again pondered if she was doing the right thing. If this desiccated husk could protect her babe from the encroaching darkness.
Once the ritual was complete Mina's corpse stood in the center of an arcane almost demonic circle as the skeleton had the Ring of Slytherin put into her chest where the soul would be drawn, as coffin was being filled with the virgin blood and the vampire blood. The final part was more of Lily's part after researching Dr. Hellsing's notes Lily knew she could never recreate the Cromwell Seal knowing full well it was a Hellsing Family only seal. But she could with enough trial and error create her own version of its power which she had dubbed the Salem Seal.
"Ok once we start none of us can turn back are you all prepared for the worst." Lily said as this was their last chance to turn back.
"Lily I won't leave you here so I'll stand with you." James said as Sirius looked.
"I still think this is a horrible idea and Gryffindor's are known for horrible ideas." Sirius said as this was Mina Bloody Harker the Bride of Count Dracula himself.
With a defeated sigh the woman took a vial of Harry's blood from her coat pocket and working quickly poured it down the vampire's throat, smearing it on her lips. Lily then began to ritual itself as they each put the magic needed for this extremely dark ritual that she would bet even Voldemort would dare not touch for his own sake and his life. The runes and invocation was of an ancient sort and had been translated from the one Abraham Van Hellsing had used in Wallachia against the count but even then this was a real long shot.
The spell began and in turn the entire room was filled with the dark magic needed to revive a Vampire like Mina Harker and bind her to The Potter Family. Mina seemed to be regaining her youthful form as the bones regained its flesh using the material around them both. Soon Mina's eyes shot open as she felt it a breath of life to which she screamed and shot up and saw those who would dare wake her.
She glared at them thinking them cultists of sorts and attacked the woman performing the spell as her nails were like claws now as she pinned Lily to the wall ready to run her through. "Lily!" James called out as he tried to save her as Remus was waiting for the full moon to reach full power.
"No stay back!" Lily warned James as Lily looked to Mina.
"Why…" She asked as she did not want to come back. How dare this woman revive her and most of all force upon her the curse her ex-husband had given her.
Lily refused to be afraid of the starving creature in front of her, she would either live through tonight and her secret would be safe or she would die here as dinner for a vampire, either way time was running out. "I did not know where else to turn, my son is in danger and everywhere I turn every avenue I venture down only death awaits him." Lily began as Mina then saw the desperation in Lily's eyes… the same eyes she once held.
Mina released Lily pulling back her attack as she glared at Lily. "You have five minutes to explain yourself." Mina warned as she did not wish to be a vampire again after Abraham Van Hellsing freed her.
Once Lily was freed she looked to Mina and wasted no time in explaining her reasons. "Please understand he is only a baby and a dark lord and his army seek to destroy him. You are my only hope Countess. I beg of you. Protect my son! He is to be used as a weapon against the dark lord with no friends within our ranks and no saviors aside from myself and my husband." She pleaded, sinking to her knees and bowing her head to hide her tears from the creature that stood above her clad in only rags that had decayed as she slept.
Mina saw Lily wanted to save her son and for that Mina could not fault a woman desperate to save her own child. She knew this dark lord was not Alucard but she did feel another soul inside her no doubt the sacrifice used to revive her. The vampire knelt before her and tipped her chin up meeting her gaze frankly.
"You must be truly desperate if you would have a monster protecting your son. And honestly I cannot blame you for this. If our positions were reversed I'd probably do the same." Mina said as she had once wished to hold new life in her arms and had succeeded in that. But time was a cruel mistress and Mina had thought for her lifetime she was free of her vampirism apparently it was stuck deeper then she thought.
"You three." Mina began looking to the three gathered. "I smell a Werewolf here and it is a full moon is it not?" Mina asked as Remus nodded to them. "I see I've seen stronger Werewolves but those are normally pure breeds and they were many in Walachia." Mina said showing Remus didn't stand a chance even in his wolf form. "If you can please take him somewhere and seal it I wish to discuss this in depth with the young mother here." Mina said as she was willing to hear Lily out which filled the Witch with joy.
James, Sirius, and Remus conceded but if something happened werewolf be damned they'll fight to the death. Once the three left Mina, and Lily sat themselves upon a transfigured table and began to discuss what Lily wished of Mina. "Ms. Harker I know about your story and as it stands it was either you, your husband, damn his soul, or the other two brides and you were the only one who I knew could protect my son." Lily said as Mina saw that as Lily rummaged in her bag producing a large jar of her own blood kept in magical stasis until such times she had need of it.
Dracula was a savage war lord and battle crazed monster while Mina won't deny and her fellow spouses were not child friendly considering one of them was Dracula's own daughter if memory serves right. Mina can even count the times one of the two brought in virgin children turned them and then proceeded to well molest them which had helped Mina break free of her own blood thirsty tendencies. From Mina's perspective she was the lesser of the evils which was ironic since she betrayed Dracula to free herself of her cursed life to no longer take a life but to create a life as God had intended for humanity.
"Death is coming for me soon, I can feel it but I will be damned if I don't do everything in my power to protect my son. I will not leave him to be thrown to the wolves by Dumbledore and his order of the phoenix. If it means enlisting a vampire to protect him then so be it, I will not think twice about laying down my life to protect my babe." Lily's voice swelled with power as the vampire drank her blood with a surprising amount of decorum for someone who hadn't eaten in almost three centuries. She watched as her blood nourished and rejuvenated the vampire. Her cheeks filled out her flesh became smooth and milky and her hair became a vibrant red that hung to her waist in wild tangles. When she was finished although still weakened she looked stunning, as though she had merely taken a refreshing nap.
"I see… so you want me to protect your son similar to how my husband now serves the Hellsing family." Mina said as she had taken notice to how her vampirism body felt vastly different yes the same somehow.
"Yes… I had applied many augmentations this isn't my first visit to your tomb Countess but it is my last every visit I had applied similar augmentations to you that Hellsing had given to your ex-husband you have all his powers and the souls needed to give him a run for his money. If you truly wish to fight him if he ever seeks you out I have a list for you of souls you can consume if you wish." Lily said as Mina looked at the parchment of paper on the table.
"I lack knowledge of the world I now inhabit can you please inform me of what has transpired between the time of my death and now." Mina asked as she looked to Lily even though Lily was unaware that Mina still had the souls of those she consumed in Walachia inside her but the difference was Mina didn't binge eat like her spouse and fellow brides had done long ago.
"I find myself in a bit of a dilemma, Lady Potter. If I agree to your terms I will be bound as a slave to your mortal son, who is but a babe. I will have to comply with his every demand and whim. If he orders me to kill another child he does not like I will be unable to disobey. So instead of doing as you ask of me, in protecting your son I will be little more than a viscous dog attacking when he commands me to." She said quietly, eyeing the arcane tome with outright hatred. Lily sat back as she contemplated the vampire's words.
"That may be so, but I have devoted all of my attention to this subject and I believe that if the bond is performed when the subject is but a babe he will not have to know all of its intricacies until he is old enough to be responsible with the creature he is bound to." She said at last, watching the vampire's reaction to her words. Her face became closed off, almost distant. At length she rested a pale hand on the tome her movements wary and hesitant. "I went deep into this subject and was able to put a restriction of when he can command you, if his life is in extreme danger then he will be given command of you at that extreme case of life or death. Otherwise the bare minimum he can command you is age 14 and that's if he is within close enough proximity of you or is about to die the maximum would be age 15." Lily said as Mina had to confess Lily was thorough in her research.
"Very well, I shall allow you to bind me to your boy, but I have a question. Why not bind me to yourself? In my experience mortals will sell their young to buy favor with their tyrants or gods the Tepes family from my husband to his brides being case and point. Why are you so different?" She asked, Lily felt a surge of maternal fury, then calmed herself aware that the vampire was reading her like a book. Eventually she shrugged,
"He is more important than I am, as his mother it's my job to step in front of anyone who dares harm him." She said eventually. The countess watched her silently for a long moment through her eerie crimson eyes. "Would you not do the same for your child?" Lily asked as Mina chuckled as she looked to the red haired witch.
"Yes I would." Mina confessed as it was a reason why she betrayed her ex-husband. "Very well do it I need to start preparing for the inevitable." Mina said as she looked to Lily Potter as Mina took note of her gloved hands which had the Salem Seal which was similar to the Cromwell seal etched onto them.
Standing up from her seal as Lily set out what she needed for the binding spell. A black candle, a white candle, a small wooden bowl, a silver knife and a vial of Harry's blood. Using her wand she lit the candles and let them burn for a few moments before she stood and began walking around the vampire, chanting and weaving the complicated patterns that the spell required. The blood red tendrils wrapped around every inch of exposed skin the vampire had. It settled on her skin writhing and twisting like a living creature. Mina bore the discomfort silently, seeming endlessly patient with the obvious irritant.
"Do you countess Mina Tepes, swear to protect Harry James potter to the end of his natural lifespan?" Lily intoned solemnly.
The vampire nodded briskly. "I do." Mina agreed as Lily had earned her respect and swore never to let the mothers sacrifice be in vain. Lily moved on to the second part of the ritual. Pouring the white candle wax onto the black candle she watched the white intermix with the black.
"Hold out your right hand protector." Lily chanted the vampire did as she was bid and with the silver knife lily slashed her palm open, the vampire hissed quietly but otherwise did not react Lily mixed her blood with Harrys and continued to the final part of the ritual.
"I am the creator of this bond and it is my will that you watch over my son, slaying his enemies and all those who mean him harm. With the goddess Hecatate guiding my hand so mote it be. Drink the blood vampire, finish the binding." Lily said as she was in a trance, the power she was expending was a lot more than the witch had expected, Mina smirked gently and lifted the bowl to her lips allowing the mixed blood to flow into her mouth and down her throat, bracing herself for what was to come.
The vampire screeched in agony as the tendrils burrowed into her flesh, falling to her knees as they tore through her, bucking and thrashing as agony coursed through her. Burning her to ash, then restoring her, healing her, making her power swell. When it was over the vampire lay face down on the ground, shaking and drained. Lily was unconscious beside her, struggling to her feet Mina flexed her hands and shook out her limbs, feeling a fraction of her strength return. Not enough to fight anything, but enough that she could feed and she had a feeling she would need a lot of dark souls to replenish her.
Mina made sure Lily was in good condition if her cohorts and spouse came for her and Mina was nowhere to be seen. Mina also took note to a skeleton with her name on it no doubt Lily had to use this skeleton to make her new body as she noticed that a bone was missing.
Once she was sure Lily was in safe hands she then left in order to hunt her prey.
Three rapists, two murderers and a child molester later Mina decided to head back to her mausoleum, feeling the souls she had taken settle within her. She took to the skies, glorying in her power as she shot through the night, remembering when she was a newly made and thought she would never be anything more than weak, oh how little she knew, back then. She could feel the sunrise approaching as it tingled across her skin, she wondered if even that could kill her. Maybe to be explored in the future, for now she would rest until it came time she was needed. Landing silently in front of the stone monolith she walked through the opening and descended the stairs only to find Lily stirring.
"What time is it?" She asked groggily, Mina shrugged.
"I don't know, time is once again of little consequence to myself as I am unbound from its grasp. Time is a mortal concept. But your cohorts are waiting for the full moon night to end so there is that." She sniped, looking annoyed more so that Lily still revived her when she wanted to stay dead. The witch sighed and cast a spell that revealed glowing numbers, which she clearly didn't like as she swore and tumbled from the stone that Mina had set her on. Mina merely watched the frantic witch as she gathered up her things and approached her.
"I will probably never see you again, since you only need to serve Harry in the event of my death, but let us hope that it never comes to that, thank you countess, for everything. And I'm very sorry for forcing you into this but I had little choice." She murmured, nodding to the vampire who merely gazed back at her before extending an elegant hand and brushing a wayward lock of hair from the witch's face.
"Goodbye Lily Potter. I do not blame you for being a loving yet desperate mother I only blame you for reviving me." She replied solemnly. For some reason the vampire's words made Lily feel cold inside, shaking herself she left to return to her family, blissfully unaware of how little time she had left alive.
"Well for not… I best learn of my new abilities… and relearn old ones." Mina said as that was for the best as she was out of practice.
(Scene Break 13 years Later Graveyard)
"Avada Kedavra!" Pettigrew yelled, and Harry screamed as the emerald jet struck Cedric in the chest. The proud Hufflepuff flew backwards, crashing, unmoving to the ground behind him, arm draped over the triwizard cup. The glance he'd taken in the hopes that he would survive was a mistake, as he didn't notice the ropes that grabbed him and tied him to a gravestone.
Pettigrew stowed the wand and began examining the cauldron in the center of the graveyard. Harry fought the ropes, but they simply grew tighter. Finally, Pettigrew picked up the bundle he was carrying and dropped it in.
"Please, just die!' Harry cried in his mind as the traitor began chanting.
"Bone of the father-" with a wave of his wand, the ground split, revealing a fine trickle of dust and vaguely human shaped bundle of cloth about ten feet away, "Unknowingly given. This will revive your son."
The dust flew into the cauldron, and Harry's scar burned worse as the potion sparked. His eyes closed from the pain, he barely saw the next part, save the last scream and splash, which was accompanied by another bout of pain.
Harry opened his eyes, and found Pettigrew's face less than a foot from his own. A knife was in his left hand, his right was nothing more than a bleeding stump, "And blood of the enemy, forcibly taken. This will restore your for." he said, stabbing the knife into Harry's arm. Harry screamed again as the tip sank deeper into his flesh.
A moment later, Pettigrew withdrew the knife, and placed the tip into a vial he'd placed on the ground. Once enough blood had filled the vial, Pettigrew threw the knife on the ground and returned to the cauldron. As he poured the contents of the vial into the cauldron, Harry screamed in pain and terror as the potion sparked further, blinding them.
"Robe me." a cold voice said through the overwhelming darkness that followed the blinding sparks. After a moment of sobbing, Harry heard a bustle of robes. Surrounding the center of the graveyard, lights burst into existence.
The sudden burst had again blinded him, but only for a moment. He opened his eyes, praying that he was wrong.
In the center of the graveyard, standing before a sobbing, bleeding Pettigrew was a skeletal man with almost no nose. His catlike pupils and scarlet eyes seemed to stare into Harry's soul, increasing the already unbearable pain. Lord Voldemort was smiling.
"Hold out your arm, Wormtail." he smiles, until he extends the bleeding stump, "The other arm. Hurry now, we mustn't keep our family waiting." he sneers.
Wormtail gulps and extends the other arm. Voldemort takes one finger and runs it up his sleeve, pulling it back. Visible in the floating lights was a black tattoo of a snake protruding from a skulls mouth. Voldemort placed a fingertip on it and Wormtail screamed again.
Voldemort turns coldly to him, "It has been a long time, Harry."
Harry felt slightly rebellious, probably his father talking, and spit back, "Not nearly long enough, you freak!"
"Temper, temper, Harry" he chided, smiling evilly, "Needless to say that I will punish you for that naughty mouth after my friends are here. But what would your mudblood mother think if she heard you talk that way?"
"She'd say to stab you in the eye and fire a blasting curse." Harry responds, wiping the smile off the dark Lords face for a moment, until he laughed.
"Well said!" he cheers, kicking the knife, still covered in Harry's blood, into the open grave, "but I wonder if you'll be able to do that?"
"Gimme my wand and we'll see."
"In time." he smirks, "But now, let us welcome my family!"
Several cloaked figures walked silently to the graveyard, faces covered in masks. Voldemort eyed each of them suspiciously, but made no effort to stop them. When all had gathered in a semicircle around them, he chuckled, "Quite remarkable. When I am restored to my powers by the weakest among you, you return within moments. Yet none of you tried to find me while I was weak and needy."
None of the circle moved. From Harry's perspective, none of them even breathed. Voldemort was uninterested, and easily continued, "Perhaps you felt I was too weak to be bothered with. That the potter boy had conquered the greatest wizard in history!"
Never!" one of the men gasped, throwing himself at Voldemort's feet.
"Crucio!" he smiles as the man twitches and screams, "You know that I do not forgive easily, Nott. Yet if you reaffirm your vow to serve me, I will spare your miserable life."
The curse ends, and Nott gasps out, "Of course, master. I will serve you forever." one by one, each of the remaining men kneeled and swore as well.
"Very good." Voldemort smiled, "Now, let us move onto potter." Harry didn't even notice the wand pointed at him before he screamed. The death eaters turned their attention to the thrashing student, many marveling at the sight. "Are you ready to fight? Like your parents and your grandparents before you?" he sneered as he cut the ropes and threw Harry his wand.
Harry grabbed it awkwardly and got some distance between them. The death eaters formed a circle around them and the two duelists squared off.
Voldemort decide to do a countdown, "one, two, the-" he starts before being interrupted by the most peculiar sound. A yawn.
"I must say I come out of my crypt for a midnight stroll and what do, I find save for a Dark Lord reviving, summoning his minions, and attacking a child." Came a female voice as they all looked to see a woman dressed in Victorian period fashion of black– automatically making her magical – except she wore a wide-brimmed fedora instead of a top hat, and round safety goggles with red-shaded lenses that Elton John would be proud of and a pureblood wouldn't be caught dead in. "I guess this has become a very enthusiastic walk my master." Mina said as she looked to the party.
"You swear loyalty to me yet I do not-." Voldemort began but Mina then shot at him with a large barreled gun of white as she glared at him.
"I did not mean you Moldy warts was it? I meant your opponent as my master." The woman said as all eyes were shocked as was an equally shocked Harry Potter.
"Who are you?" Voldemort asked as he turned his wand towards her as Mina felt no threat from the stick.
"Your tales referred to me as one of the Three Brides of Dracula Mina Harker is my name and well I've been oddly fond of a marauder name 'Fangs,' as of late." Mina said as she smirked at her foes. Needless to say the fact they were talking to an actual Bride of Dracula was preposterous to say the least since they all assumed that the brides had died when they were cut off from their sire by Van Hellsing. "Now might I know your name or shall I refer to you as Moldy Warts." Mina taunted as Voldemort glared at the Vampire before him.
"I'm the greatest wizard in the world!" he yelled angrily as Mina scoffed at him.
"More like a child trying to play the monster how delightful." Mina said partially laughing at him as it's normally fights that bring out her more bloodthirsty monstrous vampire side.
Voldemort seethed and cried, "Avada Kedavra!"
The woman was hit full to the face, as she was knocked down possibly dead. But as fast as she fell she began to rise back up and just looked back "Do you always try and kill people you'd never met?" she asks calmly as Voldemort and the death eaters looked terrified, but none of them moved. "Because it seems you may have blasted out of me your death eaters from the first war though I think you did I can't keep track of all the rapists and serial killers I've consume. She closed her eyes and started sniffing before her gaze turned torts the surprised and shock Harry.
Mina then vanished and appeared before Harry towering over him easily as she then kneeled down as she seemed to be a sort of crossdresser as she was wearing the outfit for men as she kneeled to her new master. "Please pardon my abrupt intrusion and tardiness my master I was enjoying one more year of relaxation while gathering my strength for he who should get a tan over there." Mina continued with her taunts while apologizing to Harry who was in complete shock. "It seems your mother's contingency plan paid off after all." Mina said as Harry was shocked by this information.
"Um… its ok… but you said you knew my mother." Harry said as he looked to Mina.
"Aye I did, but I doubt I made much of an impression unlike she made on me." Mina shrugs as Lily had her respect for asking a monster to help her save her son. "I can tell just by looking at you that you're not with them, so what are you doing here, my master is my aid needed sooner than intended?" Mina asked as she looked to her master.
"He wants to kill me." Harry says, looking sacredly at the confused looking maniac.
"Clearly. Shall I deal with these foes for you then my master?" Mina asked as she smiled to Harry as he took note to the fangs in her mouth.
"Yes please we need to get the cup also." Harry said as Mina looked and saw it.
"A portkey as it stands we will need to make a hasty retreat and if I may I believe Peter there is supposed to be dead." Mina said pointing to the scared worm tail.
"Y-yes." Harry said as he had an idea. "If you're really serving me then capture Peter alive and unharmed." Harry said as he hoped this Mina lady could pull it off.
"ASs you wish my master save for Peter these Death Eaters I shall search and destroy." Mina said as Harry did not like the sound of that.
"You think you can kill us all so easily blood sucker!" A Death Eater Nott called out as Mina laughed at him.
"Most of you are already dead." Mina said as she smirked at them. "After I had knocked your mothers last night." Mina said as the Death Eaters then fired a slicing curse at Mina Harker who then fell down seemingly dead.
"Now for you boy." Voldemort said as then Mina was heard once more as she was laughing.
"Yes… fighting and killing really does bring out the best in me." Mina said as she began to rise up and grinned a large insane and sadistic grin. The blood spilled from her began to move and returned to Mina as she smiled at Voldemort's Death Eaters as they were all shocked by this. "Now which one shall I devour first?" Mina said as she looked between the cloaked silver masked foes around.
Mina then fired her guns to show the twin pistols had the words Jekyll and Hyde engraved on them in neat, elegant, and royal calligraphy. The Death Eaters the bullets hit had put up a defensive charm only for the bullets to easily break through like a killing curse as they were shocked at this. "These bullets were hard to come by their silver melted from a holy cross and blessed while also enchanted by light wizards with charm and shield piercing magic, and have armor piercing casing making my guns, Wizard and Witch Killers." Mina said detailing her guns as it was clear she knew her weapons.
"Come fight me the night is still so young after all." Mina said as the Death Eaters saw they had to run fast. "Get rid of Pettigrew and run!" Nott called out only to be shot in the head by Mina as Voldemort saw that was a good idea to keep the Black resources to the Death Eaters.
The Death Eaters aimed their wands at the scared Peter only for them to be disarmed by Mina who broke their wand arms enough for the bones to shoot out with blood spewing which Mina took great pleasure in. Mina then charged to Peter and saw Harry run to Cedric's corpses as Mina knew what was next.
"Stay quiet and you may be unharmed." Mina said before she began avoiding Killing Curses and Slicing Curses. "Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!" Mina called out avoiding each attack with ease before she got to Harry and Cedric and in turn Harry grabbed the cup porting them out of there.
Voldemort screams something behind him as he feels something jerk behind his navel. At the same time, a painful ripping sensation tears through his abdomen and he faints.
(Later Hogwarts outside the maze)
Dumbledore watches worriedly from the entrance to the maze. One of the champions should have been victorious by now. Fleur was taken out early on, and Krum was removed mere yards from the goal, which means that the others shouldn't be that far behind him. But that was thirty minutes ago...
Something crashes to the ground behind him. He turns just in time to see the triwizard cup fly to the side. "Harry!" he cries, running to the young man. Harry is lying beside Cedric. His chest was slashed open, blood staining the grass red. The people in the stands were screaming as the teachers ran towards them.
Dumbledore quickly tries to seal the wound, but to no avail. Pompfrey begins chanting furiously, but the blood wouldn't stop. He conjures a stretcher and lifts him on to it. "Quickly! To the hospital wing!" he shouts, rushing through the crowd.
"Wait is that Pettigrew!" Came another voice as Dumbledore saw Peter was there and this was a once in a life time chance. Albus stunned him and had him brought to the dungeons to be questioned how he was alive.
Snape, McGonagall, and Pompfrey follow, tailed unknowingly by Mina. The first person to notice her was a bushy haired girl who was tearfully running through behind them.
Dumbledore had been muttering the entire run, applying as much pressure to the gaping wound as his old body would allow. Pompfrey went ahead to clear the path and prepare the hospital wing. McGonagall ran to her office to get a healer from St. Mungo's. Snape begrudgingly assisted in the care of his mortal enemies' son.
"What do you think?" Dumbledore asks as they run across the second floor.
"Sectumsempra." he sighed, "Judging from the sheer power, and the fact that the mark burned, I'd say the Dark Lord is responsible."
"Can you help him?" Dumbledore asks, throwing open the doors wandlessly.
"No. Sectumsempra can only be reversed by a wizard greater than the one who cast the spell. Only you would have that much power and potter would likely die before the wound is closed." Snape answers, lifting him off the stretcher.
"Isn't there anything we can do?!" Hermione cries behind them.
"I am sorry, Miss Granger." Dumbledore says sadly, "I will attempt to close the wound, but as Severus said, it will likely be unsuccessful." He said as he knew this may be the end.
"I could save him." Mina said from the corner she had hidden in.
"Who are you?" Snape asks, pointing his wand at her.
"Mina Harker at your service former bride to Dracula and part time Hunter for the Hellsing Organization and at the moment servant to one Harry Potter." Mina said tipping her hat to them surprising many. "I believe Lily and James had revived me to protect and serve their son at Age 15 or earlier if situation demands it and behold it does." Mina said as she smiled to the group.
"And how can you?" Severus asked as Mina smiled.
"Vampire spit has healing properties and if you can get the fire bird nearby to start crying healing him will be a simple task." Mina said as she smiled to them.
"Ms. Harker was it. How can we be sure you don't serve the dark Lord?" Dumbledore asked as Mina then showed her gloved hands with the Seals.
"Lily bound me to her son and his bloodline I cannot defy the order to save her son even unless I was freed of these bonds." Mina confessed as she smiled to them. "But if we keep debating he'll die before Phoenix shows up." Mina said as Dumbledore saw they had no choice. "You can distrust me all you want being a former bride of Dracula and all but surely you cannot distrust your savior now can you?" Mina asked as she looked between Harry and Dumbledore as they reached an impasse.
"Fawkes." Albus said resigning to this checkmate as once the bird appeared Mina smiled and proceeded to build up saliva and spit into her hand. She then waited as Fawkes went over to Harry and shed a tear for him as once that was done Mina applied the spit as the injury was tended to instantly.
"Now let's let my master rest I believe you have questions for me." Mina said as she smiled at Dumbledore as Dumbledore saw the blood lust and sadistic glee was gone and replaced with an aura of calmness and understanding.
(Later at Dumbledore's office)
Mina was given a blood pop and a wine glass filled with blood as she smiled at her meal. "My compliments to the chef." She said as she sucked on the pop as the way she did it made it seem more sexual than anything else. "Now I believe you wished for answers did you now?" Mina asked as she was enjoying her blood meal.
"Yes such as how did Lily and James locate you?" Dumbledore asked as Mina smiled.
"They located me at the very same graveyard that the snake man had revived in, a bit over 14 years ago if memory serves, she needed to bide her time before resurrecting me by gathering the needed ingredients one of them being a deathly hollow the resurrection stone. Though I found it odd that I was a ring and had some soul trapped in it, too bad I consumed that soul." Mina said with a smirk as she took a swing of the blood red wine.
"Wait you destroyed a Horocrux?" Albus asked as Mina sighed.
"Yes and no, Lily destroyed it without realizing it when she revived me and I finished the job when I ate the soul." Mina said as she could hear the fragment of Voldemort being tortured by the other sinful beings trapped inside her very being. "But as it stands Lily had requested I protect her son and only her son, Voldemort may have used Harry's blood to revive himself but he failed to realize I have a fragment of him inside me, I suppose he will assume with Harry's blood he can command me but as long as I have his fragment any connection he has to me is mute." Mina said as she relaxed. "But I serve my master so I will need a steady supply of blood and better accommodations." Mina said as she sat there with them.
"I'm sure if you explained your situation, St. Mungo's would be ensure you got the blood you need." he says, eyes twinkling.
"They'd also report me to the ministry." she said being realistic knowing how Vampires treatment has yet to change. "The last thing I need is a ministry hit team after me because the bigots in charge know that I can't be controlled especially if only Harry is able to control me and me being a former Bride of Dracula." Mina said as she looked to Dumbledore.
"Regardless, I will have to rethink Harry's plans for this summer." Dumbledore sighs, "The blood wards around Privet Drive will collapse, but Harry can't afford to return there if you are following after him." Dumbledore said as he heard of Mina and her reputation in days of old being a Vampire version of Bellatrix but it seemed time has tempered her if she had rebelled against Dracula and aided Abraham Van Hellsing.
"Those blood wards might have collapsed already." Mina began as she knew how Blood Words worked being a Vampire blood magic was a vampire's specialty.
"I had visited his home once after you dropped him off there. Those wards rely on feelings and blood. If his aunt had any love for him, then the wards would have destroyed his uncle years ago." Mina said as she took a swig of her beverage and returned to the plate of blood pops. "In fact I'm surprised he even survived with them this long I was half tempted to bust in there and murder the lot myself but those shields kept me out and most of all I could not traumatize my master or else I'd die immediately orphaning him for good." Mina confessed as she rubbed her eyes. "Lily even from beyond the grave you only find more ways for me to respect you." Mina said as she spoke of Lily in only the highest regards.
"Perhaps Sirius will take him in." Dumbledore smiles, "I'm sure Harry will approve." Dumbledore said as Mina looked to him.
"We shall see I don't wish to put my master into another abusive home." Mina said as it seems she was quiet protective of him.
Dumbledore throws Floo powder into his fireplace. "Professor Moody! Could you please bring the dog from Hagrid's pumpkin patch to my office?" He asked as Mina simply waited.
Ten minutes later, the door opens and a grizzled man with one leg limped into the room, followed closely by a black dog. Her instincts told her that neither were what they appeared.
"Who are you?" Mina said as she glared at the human of the two.
"This is Professor Moody." Dumbledore explains, "Alastor-" He began but was cut off by Mina who drew her guns once more.
"No he isn't. He's an impostor." Mina growled ready to take aim before Moody leaps toward her, but she backhands him to the wall where she then pinned him with Jekyll to his chin. He doesn't move and she turns her attention to the dog. "Now, how about you?" She asked as she looked to him.
The dog quickly turned back to a shaggy haired man, arms raised in surrender. "Just stay calm down Mina. I'm Sirius Black remember?" Sirius said as he was there when Lily revived Mina Harker.
"He's the one that I wanted to speak to." Dumbledore said trying to calm the situation here. "But why did you attack Professor Moody and how do you two know each other?" He asked as Mina then sighed a bit.
"One thing you learn in my life time is how to detect illusions and disguises." Mina said as she glared at the pinned Moody. "And this man here is not who he says he is." Mina said pulling the hammer ready to fire at the slightest sign of him struggling.
"Polyjuice Potion?" Sirius gasps.
"Severus, bring me a vial of veritaserum." Dumbledore yells into the fire after adding more floo powder.
"What happened to Harry?" Sirius asks sacredly, "I saw him being taken up to the school. Will he be okay?" He asked as he wanted answer to his god son's fate.
"He'll be fine a bit sore but fine none the less." Mina said as she worked on keeping the fake Moody restrained till the Polyjuice potion wears off.
"And it's on these topics on her and Harry we need to discuss." Dumbledore said as he looked to Harry.
The door opens and Snape steps in, "Do you need to interrogate this young woman?" he asks until Mina scoffed at him.
"Try as you may that potion would have little effect on me." Mina boasted as she grinned at Snape daring him to try it.
But then his eyes landed on Sirius seeing a change in subject. "Ah, you captured black. Well done. Shall I administer the serum?" He asked as Dumbledore turned his head as the answer.
"Yes, but to Alastor Moody." Dumbledore said before sighing at his blunder. "It appears I've been had. That man is an impostor." He said as Mina smirked.
"Than what is he doing here?" Snape sneered as he glared at Sirius Black.
"I'm innocent, like I told you last year. And if you don't believe me, I'll take some of your little truth serum as soon as you explain what is going on with Harry!" Sirius shouts as Mina then spoke up.
"It's simple as the Americans would say it Dumbledore here has done goofed." Mina said as she looked to Sirius as she proceeded to knock out Moody and shoot off the fake leg for sure.
"Are you serious?" he gasps.
Dumbledore resists the urge to make a joke and nods, "I'm afraid so."
"How did this happen!?" he roars in anger as he glared at Dumbledore "I thought that you said these games would be safe!" He roared but wasn't done. "You said he would be safe!" He yelled as Dumbledore saw his hubris had blinded him to the truth.
"Someone had other plans." Dumbledore said as he glared at the fake Moody. "And I believe that someone is whoever is impersonating Moody." He said as he then nodded to Snape while glared at Black, but stoops and pours half of the potion into the unconscious man's mouth. Dumbledore revives him and they question him mercilessly.
He was Barty Crouch junior, and he was a loyal death eater. His father had helped him escape from Azkaban and his master found him again. He faithfully followed Voldemort's orders and captured and impersonated Alastor Moody to assure that Harry reached the Tri wizard cup.
"Has Voldemort returned?" Dumbledore asks finally.
"Yes." the man laughs as his features distort. The fake leg and eye pop off as he returns to normal.
"Oh goody maybe I can stuff him and put him on display." Mina joked as she smiled knowing Peter was being held in the dungeon restrained to keep his rat form from being of any use in any possible escape plan.
Dumbledore stuns him and conjures chains around him. "There you have it, Severus. As you heard, Peter Pettigrew is alive and was responsible for Lily's death." Dumbledore said as Mina then chuckled a bit.
"What does lily have to do with this?" Sirius glared as Mina held back her laughter a bit.
"Oh this is rich." Mina said as Snape glared at her which Mina gave a playful looked to him.
"Never mind." Snape glares back, "Even if that's true, Black is still a wanted criminal."
"And that will be rectified once we turn him and Peter over to Madam Bones." Dumbledore said as he smiled glad to finally clear Sirius name of a crime he did not commit. "Sirius, if you have no objections, Harry needs to keep Mina Harker here someplace dark, without sunlight and if possible be near Harry. Perhaps your parents' house?" Dumbledore said as Sirius didn't like that idea and neither did Dumbledore but if Mina was truly loyal to only Harry and his bloodline it would be best to keep such a dark creature somewhere many would least expect her.
"If Harry didn't need it, I'd burn it to the ground. But fine. I'll go and spruce it up." Sirius said as Mina then jumped in a bit.
"I'll go too, he and I will need some additional precautions so I'll take care of it, plus I imagine you wish to catch up after 13 some years." Mina said as she smiled to Sirius.
"Fine, but don't expect much. My parents weren't much of interior decorators." Sirius shrugged as he looked to Mina who then looked to Severus.
"Why don't you join us grease hair maybe we can get some shampoo for all that." Mina said gesturing to Severus hair. "In fact maybe I can even look like… this." Mina said as shadows formed around her and soon turned her into an identical copy of Lily Potter emerald eyes and all. This of course sent a slicing curse her way to which Mina dodged and reverted to her original state. "Ok you're no fun." Mina said as she only meant it as a joke as the woman was normally a blond haired one but she took a liking to the color red as of late.
"I'll be back some time tomorrow, so I'll need to have a talk with him. Shall we, Mr. Black?" Mina said taking off her hat to allow him entrance similar to a gentleman even if Mina was a female.
"Call me Sirius, since I guess we're kind of family." he smirks, transforming back into a dog and leading her out of Dumbledore's office.
"Fine but don't expect me to cook for you flea bag oh my apologies padfoot." Mina joked as Sirius rolled his eyes to her.
'Whatever you say Fangs.' He mentally added as he was friends with a werewolf plus Mina's jokes may be in bad taste but after reading up on her and the fact she had only targeted Ghouls, Vampires, Death Eaters, and the basic dark creatures who attack for the hell of it he supposed he could give the former bride of Dracula the benefit of the doubt.
"Are you sure we can trust black?" Snape asks after the door closes as he was also worried about Mina doing something or lying.
"I distrusted him before. I will not make that mistake again." Dumbledore said as he refused to let a mistake like that repeat itself.
Snape stares at him, and then walks out without a word. Dumbledore sends a message to the DMLE then followed to report to the school. "And of the Vampire?" Snape said not very pleased she impersonated Lily like that.
"If what she says is true she can turn the tide against dark creatures, plus if Lily had truly awoken her for Harry's sake she must have had her reasons." Dumbledore said knowing that inside Mina was the Resurrection Stone and one of the 7 fragments of Lord Voldemort himself.
"But this is a Bride of Dracula and most of all its Mina Harker herself the youngest of the three brides but also the one who can equal Dracula toe to toe if she had not been sired by him." Snape said knowing the tales of the infamous Count and his Vampire brood of Walachia.
"We will have to wait and see." Dumbledore said as he knew Mina was powerful and if she had been awake waiting for Harry for 13 years she may have caught up to her ex-husband in her vampire blood powers.
(Scene Break Black Household)
The two arrived as Sirius entered with Mina guarding him as the two entered the house as Mina looked. "Heh reminds me of Transylvania… I don't like it." Mina said as Sirius now in human form agreed.
"You and me both." Sirius said as he looked at the house. "By the way careful of my mother's painting she'll either curse you our or welcome you considering your um." Sirius said as Mina laughed.
"Don't worry she won't know what hit her." Mina said spinning her guns in her hands. "And if that doesn't work." Mina began as she used her blood and shadows to create whip. "I'm sure I can whip her into line." Mina said as Sirius looked to her.
"I don't know whether to laugh or be scared fangs." Sirius said as Mina looked to her.
"Fangs?" Mina asked as she looked to Sirius.
"Yeah moony was already taken and by the way you act I swear you could be a marauder." Sirius said as Mina shrugged.
"Well back to business we're going to need to check out the wards here, also get me a spot where I can spend the days at possible a basement I'll also need to get my coffin down there and a few entertainment spots with the occasional workbench. Girl's gotta have hobbies as the say today." Mina said going down a list of things they will need. "I'll also need blood and I know just how to get it for free." Mina said with a grin as she looked around.
"Ok we got a basement and should I have a Christmas wish list of things you want or need." Sirius asked as Mina then pulled it out surprising him.
"Everything in red is something I absolutely need, everything else is optional." Mina said as a good chunk of the list was in red.
"I had to ask." Sirius scolded himself realizing human woman and vampire woman weren't too different when it comes to shopping for an insane amount of stuff they either didn't need to have or really wanted to have real bad.
"Don't forget the shoes Padfoot." Mina teased as she took her leave allowing her hips to sway sensually to him.
"Blasted woman." Sirius cursed as this woman was going to be very difficult to live with.
"Anyway I must be off I need to pick up my things at my crypt you can set up here yourself dear." Mina said as she then turned to shadows and vanished from sight.
"Kreacher." Sirius began as Kreacher the old House Elf appeared. "I know we're not on the best of terms but please try and level with me will you, how much trouble am I going to be in with that Vampire here?" Sirius asked as he held the list that was as thick as his arm.
"If Kreacher may without being biased Lord Black Kreacher thinks to keep an eye open at night." Kreacher said as it was clear the woman may not drain him but she may very well prank him.
"Thank you." Sirius said as he looked to the old House Elf. "Anyway give me a hand with setting up the basement for our new housemate." Sirius said as he and Kreacher got to work.
(Scene Break with Harry the Next Day at Hogwarts)
Harry began to wake up in the hospital wing as he looked around and saw he was alive surprisingly. As he got up Harry came to as he looked around. "What happened?" Harry asked as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes just before a pop happened and Harry heard a familiar voice.
"Mr. Harry Potter, Sir! Professor Dumbledore will be quite pleased that you woke up! Please wait here. Dobby will be right back." Dobby said as Harry smiled before with a crack, he vanished. Harry sighs at the antics if the elf. A moment later, Dobby reappears with Dumbledore.
"Harry, I'm quite glad you are awake." He smiled as he looked to Harry glad the boy was ok.
"Where are we, professor?" Harry asked as he looked around confused to no end.
"Harry, please sit down we have a lot to discuss." Dumbledore said as Harry sits in the arm chair Dumbledore conjured and Dumbledore starts. "Now, what do you remember about yesterday?" He asked as it was best to see what Harry remembers last.
"Well I remember the task, and Cedric and then Voldemort. That strange woman, and then-" He looks up realizing an important detail. "And I was dying." Harry said as he realized he was alive by some great miracle.
"Yes. The curse Voldemort used on you was too powerful. You would have died before we could reverse the damage." Dumbledore said as Harry looked confused.
"Would have?" Harry asks confused wondering how he survived.
"That woman saved you. Do you remember?" He asked as Harry remembered that woman called Mina Harker.
"Yes I do she wasn't afraid of Voldemort or his death eaters in fact she treated it like a game." Harry said remembering what Mina did before.
"Yes your mother brought her from the dead for your sake." Dumbledore said as Harry was shocked by this new information. "Mina Harker the woman you met she is a bride of Dracula who I'm sure you have heard of as Vlad the Impaler. Mina was responsible for Dracula's fall but your mother revived and bound her to you utilizing an extremely dark ritual to do so." Dumbledore said as Harry was shocked by this information. "Truly a mother's love is a powerful and at times terrifying thing." Dumbledore said as to think that emotion he championed had pushed Lily as far as to seek the aid of a monster to protect her son from Voldemort.
"Mina will do whatever it takes to protect you and since she is under your complete control I fear she may kill your relatives or worse they may kill you to remove Mina." Dumbledore said causing Harry to go wide eyed at such horrible information.
"Please don't send me back to the Dursleys!" Harry cries as he may hate them but he did not wish to suffer because they feared Mina nor did he want Mina to kill them no matter how much he had wanted them dead in the past.
Dumbledore places a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Never fear. I have already informed them that they should not expect you back. Everything in your room has been moved to your new home." Dumbledore said as he should have not have let himself believe Petunia would love Harry because he was Lily's son. A Hubris he had allowed to cloud his mind and no doubt cause Harry great pain.
"What home?" Harry asks, and Dumbledore laughs, handing him a newspaper. Harry turns to the second page and breaks out in a smile.
PETTIGREW ALIVE? SIRIUS BLACK EXONERATED?
Last night, following the third task, a team of Aurors were dispatched to retrieve the man believed to be responsible for the murders of Bertha Jerkins, Bartimeus Crouch, and Cedric Diggory. This man was regrettably kissed before he could be captured.
Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, informed her of Harry Potter's version of the event, including that Peter Pettigrew, long dead friend of the Potter family, was in fact responsible for the return of You-Know-Who. The same friend who was found at Hogwarts and apprehended accordingly.
Following an investigation into this claim, Madam Bones could unearth no truth to the rumor of the dark lord's return, but has found sufficient evidence to announce that Peter Pettigrew is still alive, and therefore has ceased the search for Sirius Black, and requests that he come to the DMLE to provide testimony regarding the murder of the Potters. And after a deep search it was also found that Sirius was sent to Azkaban without a trial and furthermore there has been talk of this all being possible by the work of an unnamed Vampire. Though Ms. Bones has yet to learn if such rumors were true the thought of a Vampire aiding the light is something of concern of who this vampire hold allegiance to.
"Sirius and I have just returned from the ministry. He has been official cleared, and madam bones gave him time served for his escape." Dumbledore said as he smiled happy things were starting to look up for everyone.
"I'm moving in with Sirius?" Harry smiles brightly as things were starting to look up.
"That's right." Dumbledore grins as he saw the joy Harry was feeling. "When the year is over you'll be on your way there." Dumbledore promised as he hoped Lily made the right choice with using Mina Harker.
"Can I see Ron and Hermione?" Harry asks wanting to let them know he was ok.
"In a little bit." The old headmaster assured him. "First, you need to talk to someone else." Dumbledore said as he looked to Harry and a new guest that phased through the wall.
"Who?" Harry smiles as he hoped it was Sirius.
"Me." Someone said from behind him to which Harry looked and saw Mina there "Are you feeling well, master?" Mina asked as she looked to young Harry holding a plate of food for him.
"Given that I'm not dead, I'd say so." Harry said being a bit of a smart aleck.
"Good way of putting it. You certainly are an interesting one master." Mina said as she fanned herself with her hat as Harry caught a glimpse of her cleavage which caused him to blush a bit.
"So, what are we talking about?" Harry asked as Mina smiled and put her hat back on.
"Well Master the subject I wish to discuss is how you may control me." Mina said as Harry didn't like how Mina put it like she was his slave. "Your mother knew I would be too powerful for you as a child so she made it a point to wait until you were old enough and responsible enough to handle the power you now wield after all power like mines can corrupt those not prepared for it." Mina said as she smiled to Harry who understood his mother's thought on this if Harry had Mina sooner he dare not think what he would make her do for him.
"But my commands are actually simple for combat, Search and Destroy is my most common command if you need me to search for something and retrieve it or destroy it for any reason you give." Mina said as she looked to Harry. "But there is one power I require only your voice of power to release, my level zero release I won't go into detail but when it's unleashed you better make sure your allies aren't in the crossfire." Mina said as she smiled to her young master. "If the situation demands it I can released up to level 1 of my abilities for limited use but the point is simple any and all commands given to me by you I shall follow with the upmost prejudice." Mina said smiling to Harry as the way she said it was completely different from last night as the tone was aristocratic and had the hint of calmness and a welcoming aura to her making Harry feel oddly safe around her a vampire.
"My name is Mina Harker formerly Mina Tepes but we know what happened to dear hubby." Mina said as the word hubby left her voice with venom. "I look forward to serving you my master." Mina said as Harry had enough of this master thing.
"Well for starters don't call me master, it makes me feel like I own you like a slave." Harry said surprising Mina with that statement.
"I see then forgive me perhaps Sir Potter or Sir Hadrian will suffice for you." Mina said as Harry wasn't one for that type of thing but he guessed it was better than nothing.
"Either one of those can work." Harry said as Mina smiled to her master.
"Then Sir Hadrian James Potter of the House of Potter it is." Mina said as she smiled to Harry with an almost loving smile spewing out kindness. "Anyway master." Mina began as it was clear Mina was requesting something. "I need to go fetch my belongings and pick up some equipment I had ordered to assist in moving into the Black House upon your leave I shall make haste in this endeavor." Mina said as she looked to Harry.
"Ok sure you got it." Harry said giving Mina the ok before she moved to his ear.
"Don't worry we'll see each other real soon, and perhaps I may see more of you." Mina flirted causing Harry to blush deep red before she vanished into shadows leaving an embarrassed Harry in bed.
"Dobby, I believe it is almost lunch. Perhaps you can fetch some food for Harry and his friends?" Dumbledore requested to which Dobby agreed and with that the hyper elf pops out of the room. Harry nods and the elf pops back, extending his arm to the headmaster. Dumbledore takes the elves arm ready to port out. "I will have Hermione and Mr. Weasley brought here after they are finished with classes." he smiles as the elf disaparates. Harry looks back towards the door, but Mina had already disappeared.
(With Mina)
She sighs as she steps into the lobby of St. Mungo's and walks up to the receptionist.
"How can St. Mungo's help you today?" she asks nicely.
"I need some blood." Mina smirks, showing her teeth.
"Are you registered with the ministry?" she smiles.
"No, but that won't be a problem, will it?" Mina smiles evilly. She looks ready to say something, but Mina stares into her eyes, and just as her ex-husband Dracula had taught her altered her train of thought.
"Of course not." she smiles, "Follow me."
Mina grins and walks behind her as she leads them to the Vampire wing.
"When was the last time you ate?" the receptionist asks.
"Last night." Mina answers.
"And before that?" she says as she writes down her response.
"Last month." Mina said as it was true as this wasn't her first visit to a healer. "I was also hoping I can put in a prescription so to speak for a regular delivery of Blood oh and Blood pops." Mina said as the healer was surprised by this. "See I am trying to live a somewhat quiet life but as Vampires go that's difficult without a regular delivery or donation of blood so if you can set it up for me somehow without the ministry being aware that would be great." Mina said as she smiled.
"I could set up the delivery but I will need an address to send it to." The healer said as Mina smiled at her arriving victory.
"I have it right here, with a written approval to have it charged to my current employers accounts or the Black Family Accounts." Mina said putting the papers in question to the Healer.
"I can set it up without much problem but don't tell anyone." The Healer said as Mina smiled.
"My lips are sealed." Mina joked as she smiled a kind smile to the healer giving the examination.
The receptionist leaves her in an examination room for a moment, and returns a minute later with five packs of blood, "This should be enough for today. I put in your file that you collect for your family, so you'll be able to get more tomorrow if needed."
"Thank you." Mina smiles as she then took her leave and began to head back.
About five minutes after they left, Dobby popped back into the room, Ron and Hermione holding either arm.
"Harry!" Hermione squealed throwing her arms around him. "We were so worried about you!" She cried out happy to see Harry was safe and sound.
"Sorry about that but apparently I can't have a normal school year." Harry said as he was referring to Mina being his constant shadow.
"What was your first clue?" Ron laughed a bit before he continued. "But it all worked out, right? When will you be back in class?" Ron asked as Harry looked to Ron.
"Probably tomorrow but things won't really be the same anymore." Harry said as he looked Ron and Hermione.
"Why is that?" Hermione asked as Harry looked to her.
"Apparently my mum got me a vampire to protect me when I was old enough to use her power responsibly and apparently she's the Bride of Dracula to boot." Harry said as Ron gasped at that new information being revealed.
"Blimey so it's true, I don't think mum is going to like it that much." Ron said as Harry looked.
"Don't worry though so far she's more of a flirt or a tease outside of a fight." Harry said as Hermione looked surprised.
"So when she fights she's a bloodthirsty monster when its calm she's almost human." Hermione summarized as it sounded like Mina was like Jekyll and Hyde if they had a mutual agreement.
"Exactly." Harry admitted as he looked to Hermione while smiling. "But the good news is after this year I'll be moving in with Sirius." Harry admitted as he smiled to his friends.
Hermione gives him another hug, "I'm so happy for you!" Hermione said happy Harry can finally get some sort of happy ending after all he's been through since his first year with them all.
"Yeah mate." Ron grins happy for Harry before his stomach growled a bit. "So what are we going to do about lunch?" Ron asked as he looked to his friends wondering when the food would arrive for them.
As if on cue, a fully prepared table of food appear less than five feet from them. "Guess you have your answers." Harry smirks, sitting at one of the chairs. Hermione sits next to him and Ron across the table. The empty goblets filled with drink of pumpkin juice as Harry wondered how Mina was doing.
"So mate… what does this Mina look like?" Ron asked as he began to eat.
"Well think Fleur but multiply it by 100 when it comes to beauty." Harry said as Ron then as he drank his juice did a spit take.
"Bloody hell you're joking." Ron said as Harry looked.
"I honestly wish I was." Harry said as Hermione heard this.
"And well save for her red eyes and crimson hair she's a basic pale skinned vampire for looks." Harry said as Ron looked to Harry on this subject.
"Ron don't even think about it." Hermione said knowing what Ron was thinking already of Harry's new command over Mina.
"Yeah I'm with Hermione a Vampire like Mina the bride of Dracula is the last thing you want to get on their bad side." Harry said as he looked to his friends eating with him.
"Don't worry." a voice said from the wall behind Ron as from the wall Mina came out smiling at the trio gathered here. "As long as he doesn't try and pull what my ex-husband did we'll get along swimmingly." Mina said as she phased out of the wall with ripples.
"Miss Harker!" Hermione called out in shock as Ron nearly choked on his food.
"Mina is fine Lady Granger." Mina joked as she smiled to Hermione. "And Ronald my apologies for nearly killing you there." Mina said as Ron glared at her for that one.
"Don't worry I'll be ok." Ron said as he then continued to eat his meal.
"Mind if I join you?" Mina asked as she smiled to the group.
"Go ahead." Hermione says as they made a spot for her. "We can't thank you enough for saving him." Hermione said as Mina shrugged.
"It wasn't that big a deal." she shrugs as she looked to the gathered trio around her. "I was simply honoring Lily Potter's final request of me and furthermore it will give me something to occupy my time as I hunt down dark creatures who attack mindlessly without regard for others." Mina said as Harry looked to her.
"You said you knew my mother how?" Harry asked as Mina looked and smiled.
"If my master wishes it I shall tell, simply put we had only met once when she disturbed my eternal peace by reviving me using a similar spell to the one used for Voldemort." Mina said as Harry gasped at this. "Normally I would have killed her and those who aided her before waiting for the sun rise but when I saw she did all that for you she earned my respect even more so of sacrificing herself to bind me to you and your bloodline." Mina said as she seemed to hold Lily Potter in nothing but the highest regards.
"Basically she bested me with her human heart and nothing else." Mina said as Harry was amazed that his mother earned the respect of the Bride of Dracula herself even more so that it's the one who betrayed Dracula and sold him out to Dr. Abraham Van Hellsing.
"If there is one thing I had learned from my Ex Husband though is that immortality is not taken it is earned." Mina said as she ate a sausage. "In my eyes in that very moment Lily deserved that immortality yet instead she gave me back the immortality I did not want." Mina said as she sighed.
"Wait your immortal, but Vampires die all the time don't they?" Ron asked as Mina scoffed at Ron on that one.
"That's true, but those vampires are of a lesser bloodline." she grins, fangs visible, "I might not be a truly immortal vampire thanks to Lily's aid, but I seriously doubt that anyone in this country could kill me save for my Ex-Husband." Mina said as she knew somewhere out there Dracula was still alive in a new form.
"Do you think he's still alive?" Hermione asks quietly, finishing her lunch. "Your husband Dracula I mean." Hermione continued as Mina saw it was a good question.
"I'm not even sure that he could die, so my guess would be that he is still sealed to the Hellsing Families servitude as Alucard." Mina said as she held no illusion Alucard could not die so easily.
"He can't be that tough." Ron says through his full mouth. "Otherwise he wouldn't have been sealed." Ron said as Mina laughed again.
"Don't be so sure, that seal used on him to bind him to the Hellsing family's servitude has yet to be matched save for the seal Lily put on me." Mina said showing her gloves where the seals were etched in crimson red. "Then again he was sealed willingly like I was so theirs that information to factor in." Mina said knowing how Alucard would operate at times.
"Why would he do that?" Harry asked as Alucard sounded very confusing.
"He's a tough one to figure out. And I was his bride mind you so that saying something." Mina confessed as she looked to her master and friends.
"Do you think you'll find him or he'll find you" Hermione asks quietly as Mina looked.
"I honestly hope we never find each other." Mina said as she hated Dracula for what he did to her robbing her humanity, turning her into a blood thirsty monster, robing her humanity. Mina was more than happy to sell Dracula out if for no other reason than her own freedom as she found it satisfying to see him as the servant instead as humans would say karma is a merciless bitch to people.
They were interrupted by a loud pop. Dobby was standing by the table. "Miss Granger, Mister Weasel, your next class begins in ten minutes." Dobby said as Mina looked to the house elf.
"Thank you Dobby." Hermione said as she smiled to the house elf. "I'm glad that we got to talk, Mina. Harry, see you at class tomorrow." Hermione said as Harry nodded in response to Hermione.
"Later, Harry." Ron says, swallowing the last of the food on the table. Both of them take one of the elves short arms and disappear.
"That was entertaining. Hermione sure does ask a lot of questions." Mina laughed as she found these human children simply a delightful treat.
"You should have seen her our first year. I think she talked more than the professors." Harry said as Mina nodded to her.
"Well Master I had simply come to ensure you were ok but I must be off it seems padfoot may need some more aid with setting up." Mina said as she smiled to Harry as Harry looked to her.
"Well if you have to then go." Harry said as Mina smiled to him.
"Well I'll be off then master please do give your friends my regards will you." Mina said before she phased through the wall and took her leave.
"Ok… crazy has hit an all-time high." Harry said as he now had a Vampire serving him as a body guard and if need be hitman.
