That night after the feast Harry walked the dark foreboding corridors of Hogwarts. Being a vampire he needed very little to no sleep at all. It was during this time that Harry's heightened senses heard the soft distant sound of feet on stone, and a slight whisper. Being one with the night, Harry hid amongst the shadows waiting for the owners of the voices and feet to appear. Just as his figure vanished into the shadows two students rounded the corner. The corridor they were following would lead back to Harry's chambers. As the two figures passed a window with moon light lighting the area up, Harry finally knew who the two rule breakers were.

"There's something different about that new teacher." Malfoy spat. "If he knew the power I held he would hold his tongue."

"True one word from your father and he would be history." Zabini concluded. Slowly Harry left his hiding place and quietly followed the two students.

"I have sent a letter to father already."

"Then why are we going to his room?"

"I have this feeling that he isn't human. And by getting proof Father could get him thrown out of Hogwarts." Malfoy sneered. Anger was welling up in Harry. But he had to control his temper lest it could cause him to harm others. After hearing what he had, he was tired of his chase. With a quick move, he was now just out of the two sight. Hidden in the nights shadow past a moon lit window he waited. The two so concerned with each other didn't see the tall figure towering above them until they hit something solid. As the two sets of eyes met the set above them, they let out a silent screech of fear. Above them was a sight none has seen and lived through. Harry's facial expression was that of a predator ready to pounce on its prey. His eyes glowing bright silver, his fangs gleaming in the moon light. Before either boy could so much as move hands were upon their shoulders.

"It's not nice to talk badly of a vampire. It could get you killed. Not that I would kill you, but there are others that would." Harry hissed. "Now why are you two out of bed and in a corridor that is off limits?" Neither boy answered. "Well I guess we will take this up with your head of house and Headmaster." With a swift move both boys were facing the exact opposite of which they were originally facing. With a stead and unwavering pressure the trio headed back towards the Great Hall. Only stopping once in their journey. With the swiftness of a cat, Harry knocked upon the Potion Master's quarters.

"Yes what is it?" yelled a voice from with in.

"Professor you are needed at the Headmaster's office as soon as possible."

"Very well Vlad, I'll follow you." And in seconds the trio grew to four in number. Snape was giving slide glances at the two Slytherins, wondering what they had done this time. In a few short moments they were all standing just outside of the Headmaster's Office.

"Lemon Drops" Vlad said quietly to the stone gargoyle which sprang to life and jumped aside. In side were the stair's that led to the Office of Hogwarts Headmaster. Once at the top Snape knocked on the oak door. From inside came a soft voice.

"Enter." As the four figures entered the office Albus frowned as one of the students he had to punish earlier was once again in his presence for something else. "And what do I owe this visit to and for what?"

"Headmaster I found these two gentlemen walking down the forbidden corridor to my rooms. I had over heard most of their conversation as well."

"I see, and what was it your heard?"

"They spoke of having one of their father's asking for my termination."

"On what grounds?" Snape asked suddenly. The two boys finally gained their power of speech by then and spoke.

"Because he's a vampire, he nearly killed us tonight!" Malfoy shouted.

"I beg your pardon Mr. Malfoy, I warned you that other vampires would do what I had done if you had insulted them. You would not be sitting here if you had met one other than myself." Harry spoke.

"Professor Alucard, is not a violent person, nor is he a danger to you or any other student in this facility. And as for your after hours adventure, you have again lost house points to the tune of 75 points each." Albus stated. Three heads snapped up in horror.

"Albus must that be done?" Snape asked.

"I believe so Severus, as not only have they broken the curfew rules, they accused a teacher of endangering lives. They also entered an area strictly forbidden due to the request of Vlad Tepes Alucard II."

"Vlad The Impaler?" Zabini asked with fear.

"I am his son so to speak. And believe me when I tell you that had anything happened to me you would receive a visit from him but that visit would be one you would not enjoy." Vlad spoke flatly. What was left of the color in the two boys faces vanished at the thought of meeting the Father of Vampires.

"I believe Severus that we are done here, would you mind escorting these two back to their dorm for us as I would like to speak to Vlad alone for a bit." Snape nodded to the Headmaster and stood with a hand clamped on two ears. The whole while telling them how stupid they are for insulting a creature that could kill them in an instant. As the door closed Vlad turned back to Albus.

"Albus, this bothers me, Mr. Malfoy mentioned that he had sent an owl to his father informing him of his beliefs of me. And anyone with the knowledge would know I am a vampire."

"That may be so but he can not force you to leave with due cause. Which he MUST have proof of. The School Governors are quite upset with him over last year."

"I see. Well I am off to roam the school, see you in the morning." With that Harry left the headmaster's office to enjoy what was left of the night.

            The next day arrived as the sun slowly rose in the sky. Multi-color clouds littered the sky as the first rays of the sun graced the earth. Harry was walking around the lake listening to the music that filled the air. Natures song was one that was always there. But back up at the castle three figures made their way to the Headmaster's office. This wasn't going to be a casual meeting but one that would determine the lives of a few wizards.

"Enter" called the voice from with the office. Albus waited as the three men walked in.

"Dumbledore, I have been informed of something I am not very happy about." Albus looked from the front figure to the one just behind him. The third figure stayed in the back just watching.

"And what is that Minister?"

"I was informed this morning that Vlad Tepes Alucard has been seen here. Or rather teaching here. I would think that you of all people would know that a dangerous vampire he is."

"And who has informed you that he was here?"

"Don't be a fool Dumbledore, you know very well who informed him." Spat Lucious Malfoy.

"I see, but I must say that you are wrong on this subject…" Albus was interrupted by a knock on the office door. "Enter." The door opened and there standing just in the shadow of the office was a tall figure. His features slightly hidden making it rather hard to determine who it is. "Ahh, Professor Alucard please do come in and have a seat we were just speaking about you." Albus said with a smile. Alucard nodded his head and entered the office and seating himself in the empty chair in front of the Headmasters desk. Three pairs of eyes were locked upon Alucard. Shock and underlying anger was felt by most.

"You were saying Dumbledore that Vlad Tepes Alucard wasn't teaching here, but then HE shows up here?" Malfoy spat.

"Vlad Tepes Alucard does not teach here, but Vlad Tepes Alucard II does." Fudges face drained of color while Malfoy's turned a violent red, and purple. Sputtering Malfoy spoke.

"Hi…his son?"

"Yes I am Vlad's son is there a problem with that?" Harry asked.

"Then you were the one who attacked my son!" The vampire's eyes darkened at that statement.

"You sir are miss-informed  as I nor has another vampire attacked your son. But rather he has tried to play in the lion's den." Harry spoke darkly. His vampiric attributes showing as he spoke. "I would advise you to remind your son that if he continues to play with fire he will get burned."

"So now you are threatening him."

"No I'm not Mr. Malfoy, giving a warning, I will not harm him, but if he says the wrong thing to the wrong person or vampire he will be harmed. I do try to keep him safe while he is here, but if he wants to play in the lion's den he must suffer if he wakens the lion." With that Vlad became somber and silent. The silver eyes slightly glowing. An eerie silence fell upon the room, even Faukes was silent. Silence was broken by a ear shattering screech from outside. With vampiric speed Harry dashed to the window. Coming out of the forest was Voldemort, and hundreds of Dementors and  deatheaters. Before anyone could do anything Harry was out the window and headed towards the ground at alarming speeds. But he never hit, instead he was floating about halfway down. The group that was making their way toward the castle stopped upon seeing the floating figure. The scent of fear drifted across the vampire's nose. The Dementors froze in mid step. The deatheaters were gathering near their leader. Harry suddenly smiled to himself, as Prince of Darkness came to the surface again. Shooting a silent glare at the Dementors they turned and left the field. Voldemort and his followers were soon left with out the aide of those dark creatures. Even those who were still in the forest left. Fury was flowing from Voldemort as he vanished from the grounds of Hogwarts. His followers broke and ran. Vlad smiled and quickly returned to the window he had jumped from.

"I hope you believe me now Minister when I say that Voldemort has returned." Spoke Albus Dumbledore to the frightened Minister of Magic.
