Chapter 3
Rose collapsed on her bed after Alucard had left her. They hadn't done anything, but she had been strongly aware of his presence.
Maybe just wearing the vest hadn't been such a good idea.
Sighing, Rose stood and looked at the clock. It was still fairly early in the night. Bored, Rose stood up and decided to check out the armory. Sure, she didn't need a wand anymore apparently, but she didn't like not having something, especially when she would be expected to go out and kill other vampires and ghouls.
It took her roughly half an hour to find the armory, before going through the various weapons available to the Hellsing Organization. And while a lot of the weapons were fine and would easily get the job done, she realized that they were all meant for human use. And after seeing Alucard's pistols the night he shot her, they all seemed rather weak.
Until she got to the shotguns.
Apparently not used by many, no doubt due to their limited ammo capacity and recoil compared to other firearms, the Hellsing Organization still carried them. And it was while looking at them, that Rose got an idea.
The shotguns Hellsing had were all military styled. And that wasn't what she wanted. As intimidating as they were, she had a better idea.
But she needed money, and for that, she needed the goblins

In his room in the sub levels of the Hellsing estate, Alucard smiled.
It seemed that his Witch Girl was leaving, but through the bond he shared, he knew she intended to come back, so there was no need to alert anyone, or leave himself.
Besides, he was curious about what she would be bringing back with her.

Getting to Gringotts Bank had been surprisingly easy for the young Draculina. The hardest part had been slipping past the Hellsing guards, which was actually easier than one would think. Of course that could simply because the guard were trying to keep people out and not in.
Getting to the Leaky Cauldron had taken some time, as she was on foot, and luckily the pub was mostly empty, as it was after dark and Voldemort was now in the open. So it was easy for her to pass through to the Diagon Alley without being spotted. And when she reached the Alley itself, it was deserted. In fact the only open building was Gringotts, which due to nature of their various clientele, was always open.
Walking up to one of the few Goblins working the night shift, Rose said, "I would like to access my vault."

Rose carried the bag she had gotten while out to her room, sighing in relief when she closed the door. It seemed that no one had noticed her absence.
"And just what have you been up to Witch Girl?" Alucard's seductive voice spoke from behind.
Perhaps she had spoken to soon.
"I was getting a few essentials," she said, not looking at the ancient vampire as she took her bag over to her bed, and began emptying out her shrunken purchases. One of the advantages of working with goblins, was that they knew where you could get anything, at anytime. So after getting some funds, along with finding out that Sirius had left most of his estate to her, and getting the full inheritance of her parents and emancipated (it seemed that being turned into a vampire qualified one to be emancipated as they would no longer age), she had done some shopping. And thanks to the fact that she no longer needed a wand, she was easily able to shrink down her purchases.
Alucard smirked as he watched Rose remove her purchases from her bag. He noticed that there was mostly dress shirts, vests, and dress pants, along with lingerie, socks, and boots, and a couple of fedora's. He also noticed that she pulled out several books.
But what drew his attention was the two holstered shoulder harness/bandolier, a box of 8-gauge shotgun shells, and two long boxes, that were labeled Holland & Holland.
"Interesting essentials," he commented, eying the two boxes. Without asking, he walked over and opened them, to find two side-by-side 8-gauge shotguns. Raising an eyebrow, but still smirking he said, "I assume you're going to do some modifying to these."
Rose finally looked at him. "Yes," she said, not elaborating further.

Out on the grounds of the Hellsing estate, a snowy white owl perched high in a tree, as she looked for an open window. Unfortunately, it was a surprising cool night, so none where open.
But Hedwig was patient, she knew her mistress was inside, and that this was to be their new home.
Sure enough, her patience paid off. A busty, blond-haired girl had opened a window. And Hedwig flew through it, surprising the Draculina.
"Where did you come from?" Seras asked, as the owl flew out of the room and into the hall. The vampire, believing it to be a normal owl, followed, hoping she'd be able to get it back outside without harm.
So when the owl began to fly to the sub-level, Seras was surprised.
She was even more surprised when it went through an open door, and into the new vampire's room, and the subsequent happy yell of "Hedwig!"
Coming to the doorway, she saw the new vampire, a black-haired girl a little younger than her, holding and petting the owl, which was perched on her forearm, while her master looked on in amusement.
"Ah Police Girl," Alucard aid, drawing the other vampire's attention to her, along with her master's. "I'd like for you to meet our newest addition. Police Girl, meet the Witch Girl. Witch Girl, meet the Police Girl."
The a fore mentioned Witch Girl snorted. "How original. Do you secretly call Sir Integra Boss Girl?" she asked sarcastically.
Alucard chuckled. "Maybe. But I believe that I'll leave the two of you to get to know each other. Besides, I believe Integra has some work I can annoy her into ignoring," he said, as he floated up, and through, the ceiling, disappearing into the shadows.
The two Draculina's looked at each other before Seras asked, "Witch Girl?"
Rose shrugged. "I'm a witch, that happened to keep my abilities after being turned. It fits." She held out her hand. "My actual name is Rose Potter."
Seras smiled as she shook the other girls hand. "Seras Victoria."

Albus Dumbledore looked down at the note in his hands in shock. It was a letter from Gringotts bank, and while the news itself wasn't good, it did give him a ray of hope.
Dear Mr. Dumbledore,

Black & Potter Family Manager
Gringotts Bank
Going to his fireplace, the old Headmaster grabbed a handful of floo powder. Not only did he have to inform the Order that they needed to leave Headquarters, but he needed to organize a search for Rose. Sticking his head in the fire he called, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place."

Sorry for the long wait. It took me a while to decide what to arm Rose with, and four attempts to get this chapter the way I liked it. Please Review and Check Out the Challenge's in My Forums.
