Alucard wakes up with a gasp, quickly looking around he sees that he is in a beautifully designed and admittedly very comfortable 4 poster bed. The rest of the room looks very luxurious too, so he at least knows that he is well off. Moving in order to wipe the sleep from his eyes Alucard notices that his hands are far smaller and smoother than they should be, so he must be quite young.
Taking a moment to think and just when he was about to call on Isis to answer some questions a burst of memory's flood into his mind feeling like someone just stabbed a flaming knife into his head. He grits his teeth to stop from calling out.
He sees his new life flashing before his eyes, the memories are blurry with just colours and flashes and noises till he is about one, then they clear up and get more detailed and the sounds he recognises are French, it appears he lives in France which is shocking as he expected to be in Briton.
He sees his parents, his father, a handsome man with a strong build with dark black hair, looks to be about 6'3" the height he chose to be himself, did he get that from his father in this world or did his father get it because he decided on it? Oh, it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things he decides.
His mother, on the other hand, looks very exotic, a stunningly beautiful woman with her bright orange eyes and white hair, both his mother and father look so happy together and with him, the next two years are filled with happiness till one night they went out to a family meeting and never returned. A servant to the family, a woman named Vittoria took charge of looking after me since although she was technically a servant, she was also my mother's best friend and my godmother. Vittoria had been his mother sworn bodyguard since she was small, they were raised together, and they remained close ever since. His mother's death hit her hard as it was her duty to protect her, but his mother had said there was no danger from the family meeting.
Vittoria went a bit over the top with protection after that, brought in several maids from his mother's family and a few bodyguards, lucky she did, as a month after there was another attack, this time on Alucard. It was his first time seeing a death eater and it scared him quite a bit leaving him traumatised.
From then on Alucard had become quite a quiet and closed off child, although he did the lessons and exercises that Vittoria forced him to do, he was a shockingly intelligent boy, but he never really applied himself after his parent's death. With Vittoria taking care of him he never really made connections to anyone except her and the maids.
That was his life up until this moment, it was Alucard's birthday today, 13th of September and he was 10 years old. He was also shocked at which family he belonged to, his full name being Alucard Drago Lestrange a member of the infamous Lestrange family, though from his memory he is from the main family in France while the British family is only a side branch.
"Isis, are you there?" He asks to check if he can still communicate with her.
[Good morning, Master, I see you have Finally awoken] Isis said with some excitement.
"Finally Awoken? Didn't we just finish talking?" he asks.
[Yes Finally, to you it is as if we were just talking a few minutes ago, but your soul has been in this body since its birth] Isis informs him.
"Wow, so how come I just wake up now? That's 10 years I could have been using to get stronger?" Alucard asks Isis.
[Well, that's how long it took for your body to get strong enough to hold your consciousness] Isis tells him.
Deciding to get out of bed and get ready for the day Alucard gets up and heads to his private bathroom, indulges in a quick shower and brushes his teeth, stopping to look in the mirror he sees himself. He can he the hints of the person he designed, the white hair and orange eyes of his mother as well as the build of his father, and thanks to the exercises he was forced to do he is in fairly good shape.
Getting dressed in some comfortable dress trousers and a white shirt which is the typical choice of clothing that Alucard usually wears, he then decides to sit on the sofa and decide how best to deal with Vittoria his godmother, but before he gets any idea on what to do, he gets interrupted.
Knock Knock
Someone was at the bedroom door, "Young Master, it is time to get up" the quiet voice of a young woman comes through the door as though she doesn't want to or expect to wake him. From his memories he knows this is one of the six maids that work in the mansion, this one is his personal maid and goes by Echo, all his maids seem named after the British phonetic alphabet, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo and Fox (Short for Foxtrot). Not that the previous Alucard noticed that fact. They are obviously code names, which does beg the question of who the hell his maids are, as he doubts that normal maids have code names, that said he isn't an expert on maids and doesn't recall actually meeting a real maid in his old life. Deciding that it would be easier just to get all the answers from Vittoria later he answers the door.
"I'm up Echo" says Alucard as he opens the door to see her standing there, she is a rather short girl at around 5'2", with a slim figure and small bust, probably around 20 years old with Dark Brown hair, brown eyes and a shy, innocent face. She is dressed in a traditional maid's outfit, an apron and skirt down to her ankles, 'unfortunate' Alucard thinks to himself picturing much more revealing maid outfits, letting his inner pervert out for a moment.
Hearing him answer the door she has a shocked look for a fraction of a second before it's gone and her face settles on a polite smile that as far as he can tell all the maids use while dealing with him. He really needs to go through his memory's again because it seems that the original Alucard didn't notice anything, though from what memories he has it was most probably due to lack of caring than the lack of any ability.
"Echo, where is Vittoria?" Alucard asks his maid.
"She is having breakfast young master; she will be very happy to know that you are asking after her" echo responds politely. It appears Alucard has much more work to do than he initially thought if asking after his godmother is as unusual as Echo makes it seem.
"Well then, let's go get some breakfast then" Alucard declares cheerfully as he gestures to her to lead the way and starts following her in the direction of the dining room, luckily he did get the basic layout of the house from his memories, though "house" may be understating things slightly, he currently lives in a 48 bedroom mansion that has just about everything one could ask for, even modern stuff thanks to his mother's influence on his father, not to mention the swimming pool his mother had installed, which he plans on making great use of in the future.
Following Echo Alucard can't help but appraise her fine ass, she might not have the curviest figure but her rear more that makes up for it he thinks to himself.
Reaching the dining room doors, Echo opens them for him and Alucard just walks in as if nothing is unusual about him even being up at this hour, not to mention being ready for breakfast, quite often he will have breakfast in bed, or not get up for a few more hours.
Alucard walks up and sees a few of the maids waiting around the walls of the room and sees Vittoria sitting at the table eating her breakfast, she is a rather elegant woman with an aristocratic beauty about her, she looks to be in her early 20s but is more likely older as she is around the same age as his mother would have been. She has wavy glossy black hair that falls past her shoulders, bright green eyes and luscious red lips, he is unable to see her figure at the table but from his memories, he knows she has a very seductive figure with curves in all the right places, overall she is an extremely attractive woman.
Alucard gives Vittoria a peck on the cheek and sits at the table awaiting his breakfast, which appears as if by magic, which it was, good old house-elves. It takes all his effort not to burst out laughing at Vittoria's Shocked face with her fork just inches from her mouth, though he fails to stop the giggle escape him when the food on the fork falls off and down her impressive cleavage.
"SHIT!" yells out Vittoria as she tries to get the hot food out from between her tits. Alucard watching her can help but feel it's strange, he is sure he used to be much more into women than he currently feels, something to ask Isis later when he talks to her. Once she has got the offending food free by almost removing her top and giving Alucard quite the show, she looks over at him with a look that clearly shows he blames him.
"Good morning, Aunt Vittoria, did you sleep well?" he asks her casually completely ignoring the blame she is aiming his direction, "and as attractive as your breasts are, maybe you should put them away while we have breakfast" he comments, reminding her that she is partially undressed. A quick application of magic from her wand and her robes are instantly arranged properly and she is back to looking impeccable once again.
"Yes Alucard, I slept well, yourself? You seem different this morning." it's a statement that is clearly asking for an explanation, Vittoria is a Qualified bodyguard and has trained to notice even the slightest of details, clearly the massive shift in Alucard's personality is not something she would miss. So Alucard was unsure how much to tell her, she was his godmother after all.
[Just tell her everything, she is enslaved to you so she can't betray you anyway] Isis chimes in with some helpful advice. 'Enslaved to me?' he thinks back to Isis since she is talking to him mentally, thankfully it worked and she responds [Yeah, so are all your maids, you really need to look into this world]. I guess only knowing a world from the viewpoint of an unobservant idiot like harry potter means that you are bound to miss some details. Well, Alucard guesses if his own system is telling him it's alright, then it must be.
"Well yes I slept well, thank you for asking. Are we safe from being overheard?" Alucard asks her, hinting that if they are not then she should do something about it. Taking his hint with an odd look on her face she signals the maids to fall back before pulling out her wand and casting some spells silently. Once done she give Alucard a nod signalling that it is now safe to talk, so he does.
"Well, last night as I slept, I appear to have to have unlocked some past life memory's as well as some powers that are tied to my soul." Alucard informs her, which is pretty much the truth from what Isis said earlier and is far better than saying that he took over this body in order to get stronger. He can tell she doesn't quite believe him, not that he can blame her, he is only 10 years old here after all, though he himself is unsure how to go about proving it, he doesn't have access to his Hubworld yet.
'Hey Isis, how do I prove what I'm saying?' he asks his system, hoping she has some way for me to do just that. Alucard is disappointed when her reply leaves a lot to be desired. [I have no idea Master, but I'm sure you will think of something Hehe] is a pretty useless answer after all.
"I see, that's pretty hard to believe Alucard, what did you do in these memories and what powers do you believe you have?" Vittoria asks, though Alucard can tell she doesn't really believe him and is just humouring him.
"Well, I was on a different earth, one without magic, nothing exciting really happened, just lived a normal boring life, though I died in the year 2020 in that life, so I may know some future knowledge on the muggle side of things. On the Magical side of things, there was also a book series about harry potters time in Hogwarts which should be somewhat relevant, so I could explain what will probably happen there, though there's no guarantee that it will happen exactly as I read, you know, butterfly effect and alternate realities and all that. As for powers, well I have an enhancement system and dimensional travel." he answers her though even he thinks it will be hard to convince anyone without proof.
"Ok Alucard, do you mind if check you over for any spells, though I have no idea who could have spelled you to think this, I'll get you back to normal right away" she answers me going for her wand slowly, He is unsure what she thinks but it's clear she is anxious. Well, Alucard didn't expect it to go any better than that, but he does give her a deadpan look.
"Sure, check until you're satisfied, then maybe we can get onto more important things" he says to Vittoria, allowing her to start casting on him. Watching her not finding anything her expression starts to become quite severe, she must have thought it was just a simple confundus but being unable to find anything she must think it's something far more dangerous.
After 20 minutes and Alucard is getting a bit sick of it he snaps at Vittoria, "Vittoria, Stop." He gives her an order and he is surprised to see her follow it. She seems shocked that she followed it too, and for some reason, she relaxes slightly, he continues, "There's no need to worry, even if I can't prove it now, I can guarantee it will become obvious in the future, we need to start talking and come up with some plans so that we benefit the most from what I know" she doesn't seem to be convinced but she is no longer anxious.
"At Least you are not possessed" she said more to herself than to Alucard.
"Why would you think I was possessed?" He asks her, "And how are you sure I am not?" he finishes.
"Possession is uncommon but not all that rare, and in an old family mansion like this there can be things that can possess unsuspecting people, though all of them should have been locked away, things can be missed. And the reason I know you are not possessed is that no bonds carry over with possession, if you were possessed then I wouldn't have been compelled to follow your order" Vittoria Explains before getting back on track.
"Alucard, I can see that you believe what you are saying, but it's just not possible. I've never heard of anyone awaking past life memories and there is no magic for dimensional travel, maybe it was just an odd dream" she explains hopefully with clear worry on her face, it is obvious that she truly cares for Alucard.
"Ok Aunt Vittoria, after we finish our breakfast, we will go to your office and let's go over some stuff that I remember from my past life that might benefit our family. There might be something I can think of that will prove what I'm saying" he asks her, trying to rack his brain to what he could use. He wasn't even born in 1987 in his past life. He decides to finish eating before worrying about it, house-elves are excellent cooks, and he is not going to miss a chance to enjoy his first real meal in this world.
