Chapter 7

The last few days had been stressful to Harry. There was so much going on especially at work where he had to investigate several cases simultaneously. His life was so hectic he was amazed that he was functioning at all. So the weekend was a welcome he was waiting for, especially since he had a date with a gorgeous woman he was interested with. He couldn't wait to see Integra again.

It was almost time for his date with Integra. Wearing a dark blue jeans and black leather jacket over a simple white button up shirt, Harry prepared to go out and apparate himself out of his apartment to a public restroom in the city. He walked out of one of the stall, startling a man at the sink who must have thought he was alone in the toilet. Well, he was alone until a second ago. Ignoring the man who was watching him cautiously, Harry walked out of there and proceeded to the designated place for his date. Once he reached Coffee World, he scanned the place for any suspicious activity out of habit. Better be safe than sorry later. Furthermore, he was a man with enough enemies that want him dead.

It was such a good day. The place was almost packed with customers, mainly teenagers hanging out with their friends where they were talking, laughing and having fun with each other. There was no sign of Integra yet since he was fifteen minutes early.

Glancing around the coffee shop, Harry spotted the empty table at the corner and walked towards it. He was lucky as it was a good spot where it was positioned slightly away from other tables. It was good for privacy.

"Can I get you anything Sir?" A waitress came and asked him once he was seated.

Harry turned his attention towards the girl and gave her a polite smile. "I'm still waiting for someone, can you come back later?"

The waitress gave him a sugary smile and with a bat of her eyes, she answered sweetly, "Of course," she said. "Do you want some water or anything while you're waiting for your friend?" She asked with a seductive smile on her face. The look in her eyes screamed that she was totally interested in him.

"No, thank you," he replied kindly despite having the urge to roll his eyes at the girl's attempt to flirt with him. The girl only smiled in return before she walked away from there with an obvious sway on her hips.

Integra rummaged through her drawers looking for appropriate clothes to wear for her date with Harry. Pants and shirts were all she saw as she was looking for something more feminine to wear on that day. She was tempted to wear pants but stopped when she remembered Harry telling her not to wear it for their date.

"Where the hell is it?" She grumbled to herself in frustration as she tossed all the clothes looking for the skirt she bought so many years ago but didn't have the chance to wear. She swore she threw it at the bottom of her drawers. She hoped the skirt still fit her. She would be in a serious trouble if it was not because she didn't have any other casual thing to wear. Sure she had dresses for some functions that she might needed to attend but it was not suitable for a date in a coffee shop.

Seras might be her last option to go to if she didn't find the skirt she was looking for. Seras might have something that fit her but the thought of asking the draculina for some clothes sent a shudder through her body. Then, her eyes caught a white material tangled in the mountain of clothes that tossed in side her drawer. She pulled it out and she released a breath of relief when she noticed that it was indeed her skirt. It was a simple white knee length skirt and she planned to wear it with a light blue blouse for her date with Harry.

Without wasting any more time, Integra changed her clothes and get ready to see Harry. Taking a simple black clutch with her, Integra stepped out of her room to see Walter already waiting to drive her to the meeting place. She saw the slight widening of Walter's eyes when he saw her appearance, clearly shocked at her choice of clothes for today's outing. Walter knew that she would be meeting Harry but he thought that it was business related and Integra simply chose not to correct him.

"You look beautiful Integra," he said with a smile on his wrinkled face. Integra could see that he approved of her look today. He had been subtly trying to make her not to wear the manly clothes but Integra ignored his attempt before. So he must be happy when he saw her opting for a feminine look for once.

"Thank you Walter," she replied as they walked down the stairs to get to the car.

.

.

Harry's eyes zeroed in on the entrance of the coffee shop and what he saw put a smile on his face. There Integra was, entering the shop looking beautiful as ever. He was a little surprised that she complied with his joking request for her to not wear pants to their date but he was glad that she listened to him because the white skirt looked good on her. It showed off her long tanned leg that she kept hidden under the manly attire she wore. And the baby blue blouse she wore really brought out the color of her eyes. She looked so simple yet so beautiful today. Harry saw Integra stopped at the entrance as her eyes were scanning around the room to search for him. He instantly stood up and waved to get her attention. She finally noticed him and Harry walked in her direction to greet her.

Integra gave him a small smile as she too walked over to him and they met in the middle of the room. "Hello Integra," he greeted with a dashing smile. Harry took her hand in his and placed a kiss at her knuckle, earning a blush from the usually stern looking woman.

"Hello Harry," she said as her eyes darted around them. Harry looked around and noticed that they had garnered some attention from other customers in the shop. Harry could see some of them were whispering closely to each other while looking in their direction in interest and some of them were saying how romantic he was acting like that towards his girlfriend. Harry grinned when he heard that and he took a quick look towards Integra to see her averting her eyes in embarrassment when they become the center of attention.

"Come on. Our table is this way," he said as he led her towards where he was sitting previously. "You look beautiful today Integra," Harry complimented once they both comfortably sitting at the table

"Thank you. You look handsome yourself," Integra replied back to him.

Harry grinned at the compliment. "So anything interesting happening since we last met?" He asked.

"No," Integra said with a shake of her head. "By the way, I'm putting Snyder's house under surveillance for a week. If nothing suspicious happens, I'm going to call my men off of the house duty," she informed him.

Harry gave her a nod as he inwardly smiled. Trust Integra to talk business even on a date. "I take it nothing suspicious yet?" He inquired.

"No," she said with a resigned smile. "My men are getting restless, they couldn't wait to get out of the house duty and get back to real action," she said with a chuckle.

Harry raised an eyebrow at that, not quite get what she meant by 'real action' she spoke of. He opened his mouth to ask her about the type of job her men did on daily routine, but he was interrupted by the same waitress from earlier.

"Can I get you two anything?" She asked, this time with a genuine friendly smile on her face. Gone was the seductive smile she bore earlier and she didn't even looked him in the eye this time. The little scene he caused earlier must have her thinking that Integra was his girlfriend, same as everybody in the shop. It was not true but Harry didn't feel the need to correct anyone now.

"A cinnamon dolce latte and mini croissant with butter for me, thank you," Integra ordered.

"Caramel macchiato for me, thanks," Harry said curtly towards her.

The girl with the name Brenda on her nametag scribbled their order. "Thank you, your order will be served shortly. Enjoy your day at Coffee World," she said with a bright smile before she went behind the counter to work on their order.

It wasn't long before their orders came and both Harry and Integra enjoyed their day by getting to know each other over a cup of coffee.

"And then Mrs. Weasley sent a Howler to Ron in the middle of the day where everyone heard what she said. The look on Ron's face was priceless," Harry told him about the event when he and Ron took the Ford Anglia to Hogwarts when they couldn't get through the platform. It was a given that Integra knew of the wizarding world, he didn't need to watch what he said and most importantly he could be honest with her.

"You sure lead an adventurous life," Integra commented with a small chuckle. She had been listening intently when he told her about some of the adventures he went through at Hogwarts.

"You have no idea. And that's only the beginning of my second year at Hogwarts," he said. If he was to tell her the whole story on how his second year went, they would need more time and coffee than this. "So tell me more about you?" Harry asked Integra. He really wanted to know more about her. He got a feeling that she was not used to interact much with people her age. Her being the Director of the most prestigious organization in England, socializing must be the last thing she had in mind when there was other things needed to be done.

Integra stared at him incredulously. "What's there to know more about me, my life was not that interesting unlike yours," she said playfully.

Harry laughed at her reply. "Tell me anything, I don't mind," he said in humor. It was good to see that Integra had become more comfortable with him where she joke and relax around him.

"Well, I was a total nerd when I was younger you know," she said

And it was Harry's time to look at her incredulously. "You, a nerd?" He blurted out. "You must be kidding me," he said couldn't quite picture the young woman in front of her as a nerd when she was younger.

"I am!" Integra stressed out with a smile on her face. "I really like to read books and I always spent my time at the library when I was at my boarding school. But when dad died, I was home tutored since I had to take over Hellsing Organization," she said, her voice trailing out at the end as a sad smile grazed her lips.

Now Harry felt guilty for making her remembering about her past. "I'm sorry about your dad," he said quietly.

Integra quickly came out of her stupor and shook her head at him. "It's nothing," she said before her face lit up once more. "Then, Walter practically raised me up with Alucard and they have been the constant presence in my life. They are my family," she said, "although the said family grows lately when Seras comes to Hellsing Organization." She shook her head as her face looked like she was remembering something ridiculous happening in the past.

"Alucard?" Harry voiced out remembering the man he met last time he was at the Hellsing Manor. The man who get on his nerve without even trying. He could still feel the dark and dangerous vibe he got from the enigmatic man. "Who is he really?" He couldn't hide the curiosity in his voice from making itself known. Alucard looked only a little older than him and Integra. Harry wondered from what age did Alucard was on Hellsing payroll as a servant.

"He's my servant. You've met him in my office before," Integra supplied.

"I know," Harry said. Staring at Integra intently, Harry decided to let her know what had been going on in his mind. "He's a little overprotective of you don't you think?" He said, waiting to see her reaction on that comment.

She didn't disappoint him when he saw the slight tense of her shoulder and the way she regarded him questioningly with her blue eyes. "What do you mean by that?" She asked with a raise of her elegant eyebrow.

Harry leaned back on his seat as he looked at Integra with an amused face. "Well, he was concerned that I was planning to hurt you," he said, remembering how his meeting with Alucard went at the back garden of Hellsing manor.

He saw her eyes widened at that. "He what?" She exclaimed in shock and embarrassment from the way the light blush tainted on her cheek. It was obvious that she didn't know about his encounter with Alucard.

"He must have thought that I have an ulterior motive for getting close to you and he kindly let me know that I would be wishing for death if that was the case," he said lightly. "It's not like I'm planning to hurt you but I'm glad that there is someone looking out for you Integra."

Integra groaned at that. "I can't believe Alucard did that," she said as her face reddened even more in embarrassment.

"He meant well. He was worried about you," Harry explained, didn't know why he was defending the guy who creeped the hell out of him. "But I'll admit that Alucard's a bit creepy. He just has this certain aura about him that unsettles people you know," Harry threaded on his words carefully. "No offense of course, he is someone you consider your family after all," he said playfully.

Integra let out an unladylike snort at his remark. "None taken," she countered. "I can't believe he went to see you like that," she said exasperatedly before she eyed him with suspicions. "Alucard didn't say or do anything else right?" She asked.

Integra looked uncomfortable and he wondered why. Harry knew she was fishing for some information and she was concerned if he found out something he wasn't suppose to from his encounter with Alucard. "No," Harry replied truthfully. He saw her relaxed at his answer. Harry knew there was more to Alucard and Integra was wary about him knowing about it. "We just had a little chat. It's admirable what he did, you know," Harry said with a grin while Integra only rolled her eyes at him.

"He and I are definitely going to have a talk when I get back," Integra said.

Harry gave a small laugh at that. "Don't be too harsh on him," he joked with a chuckle but the mysterious smile on Integra's lip made the hair on the back of his neck rise tremendously in effect. He saw her took a glance at her wristwatch and a frown took place on her face as she looked at him. "As much as I like hanging out with you, I have to go soon. It's getting late and I have a meeting with other Knights tonight," she said.

"I understand," Harry nodded. "I'll send you home."

Integra shook her head. "Walter will be coming to pick me up in 30 minutes but you can come and accompany me. You can just apparate home from there," she suggested.

"Good idea," Harry agreed. "That way I can spend more time with you," he said flirtatiously while Integra's face reddened at his insinuation. Harry smirked at her embarrass face as he fought the urge to hug her and never let go. She was just too cute sometimes. "Let's get out of here shall we. The weather is nice and we can spend the day outside while waiting for Walter," he suggested.

Integra nodded at the recommendation and after Harry paid the bill, they walked out of the coffee shop to have a little walk around the area while continuing their talk.

.

.

"I hope to do this again Integra," Harry finally said, having enough courage to ask her for another date. "I like spending time with you," he confessed much to her delight. They were walking aimlessly around the area but still near enough the coffee shop so that they would notice Walter coming to pick them up.

"Me too Harry," Integra told him the truth. "Maybe we can go to dinner sometime," she suggested. Harry was a great guy and this was the first time that she could relax around other person other than Walter or Alucard, and she had only knew him for a short period of time. She could be herself around him without fear of being scrutinized every second she breath.

"That would be great," he said with a beaming smile as they were unconsciously walking towards a water fountain where a few people were hanging out. His smile was infectious as she could feel herself drawing a smile of her own. She found that she did that a lot around him. "I happen to know a good restau-"

The rest of his sentence was cut off when the loud crack sound filled her ears and the next thing she knew, she was dragged to take cover behind a statue of a cupid with Harry's body covering her own. Integra was confused at what was happening. It all happened in a split second. Loud bang was heard and Integra peeked behind Harry's form to see people running and screaming around them.

Were they under attack? And if they were, by whom? These thoughts were playing inside her mind as her heart accelerated faster. She cursed herself for not bringing her gun today. She knew she should have brought one, find a way to strap a smaller gun to her body anyhow. She hated being helpless like this.

Things were getting more frantic. Another loud cracking sound and she knew that something hit the statue they took cover at as debris fell all over them. She coughed when some of the fine particles entered her lung, making it harder to breath.

"Damn it!" She heard Harry cursed over her form. "Integra, I need you to stay put," he told her with a serious expression. Without waiting for any reply from her, she could see him drew a wand from his pocket before he stood and yelled some spells that sounded foreign to her ear. Integra peeked at their assaulter from behind the statue and saw several masked men in black robes pointing their wands at them, attacking them. It was undeniable that they were wizard.

.

.

Harry cursed as one of the spell thrown at him hit the statue he and Integra was hiding. He didn't know who were currently attacking him. Black mask and black robes to hide their identity, these attackers could pass for Death Eaters. It was well known that many of Voldemort's followers went into hiding after he had fallen and many of them certainly held a grudge against him for killing their Master. He deduced that was the case right now. Any other day, he would welcome this kind of confrontation with all his might and charged forward, but Integra was with him now. He had unintentionally put her life in danger. If anything happen to her, he wouldn't forgive himself.

Ducking behind the statue again, he took a quick glance at his companion and saw the alerted look on her face. However, she remained calm despite the chaos around them and Harry was thankful for that. Being panic in a war was a sure way to get killed faster. It showed that Integra was accustomed to this kind of thing, making Harry wondered what kind of life she had to live through as a leader of Hellsing Organization.

"If only I have my gun," he heard her muttered in frustration. "Sorry I couldn't be any of help to you."

"Don't worry your pretty head about this," Harry said quickly. "It is my job to be a knight in shining armor and save the damsel in distress," he cracked a joke.

She looked horrified at that. "I'm not a damsel," she exclaimed, looking very crossed when referred to as a damsel.

"Seriously, are we going to fight over this right now," he said with humor. She scowled at him and he heard the 'you started it' words from her as he quickly muttered the patronus charm. He noticed Integra watched in fascination as the silvery silhouette of the stag came out from the tip of his wands and Harry spoke the message to the Ministry about what was happening and requested for a backup. Once he sent his patronus away, he glanced at the unknown wizards in the robe who was still attacking them. They were advancing towards where he and Integra were crouching behind the half destroyed statue, and Harry could see that it wasn't going to be long before it would be completely destroyed. Looking at Integra he said, "I'm going to apparate both you and I out of here. Hang on to me," he told her urgently.

Integra nodded and Harry put his hand around her waist as she snaked her arms around his neck, ready to be whisked away from the chaos. Harry tried to apparate, but he frowned when he felt the resistance fighting against his magic.

His eye widened when the realization hit him hard. There was a barrier around the area.

If those robe wearing wizards took the time to erect a barrier prior to attacking them. It showed that this attack was planned and he was targeted from the start. Damn! He cursed silently. Things were not looking good for them at the moment and he really hoped that they would get out of this turmoil unscathed.
