Fleur sleepily touched the side of the bed but touched nothing but the fabric. Alarmed, she immediately sat up and looked beside her.
Gabby was gone.
Frowning in confusion, she looked at the clock by her nightstand and saw that it was just the beginning of the day. Thinking the worse had happened to her beloved sister, she ran for the door.
She was always being protective of her little sister ever since the Tri- wizard competition. She had somehow felt she failed her sister for not saving her in the second task.
When she opened the door, her heart melted in relief and awe.
Gabby was sleeping in the arms of her protector. Alucard had one of his arms draped around her while the other became a pillow for her.
Fleur smiled at the sight. It was kind of sweet.
"Now I'm really curious on who he really is," Bill suddenly said making Fleur gasp in surprise.
"How long have you been up?" she asked as she clutched her heart, trying to steady her heartbeat.
"Thirty minutes or so," Bill said. As he turned to face her, his jaw dropped.
Fleur blinked as she blushed under Bill's stare. She lowered her head so that she won't meet his gaze. It was a gaze that she revived from every man who passed her. She was disappointed when she realized that Bill was just like any other man, that is, until she looked at him again.
Bill had his back turned away from her but she could still tell that he was blushing. Frowning in confusion she held her hands on her hips and only then did she realized why he had gaped in the first place.
Fleur was still in her lingerie. She was wearing a thin silk slip. Looking down she could see the outlines of her well-defined body in full detail. She only wore black panties and she could see the shadows that her nipples made, which was assented by her full breasts.
It would have made ANYONE gape like an idiot.
Blushing her embarrassment, she slowly entered her room and closed the door. She immediately ran towards the bed and buried her face in the pillow. Her scream was muffled as she squeezed more.
Not only did she embarrass herself by charging out only in her undies but thought evilly of Bill. She realized it was not his fault; it was partially hers.
And now she had to figure out how to face him again.
*** ***
Bill can't believe he stare at her. It was rude of him to do so and it was rather uncomfortable. He needed to work with her with the dilemma of the tomb and tried not to get distracted. But he still did.
Bill had seen naked women before. In muggle magazines and videos but all of them paled when compared with her.
And he didn't even see her naked yet.
Bill cursed himself and pounded his head on the wall. Why was he thinking like that? He had survived two days of not being infatuated by a beautiful goddess.... Goddess? Where did that come from? He had been all professional these couple of days. What made it change?
He needed to rectify the situation before it came out of hand.
He entered his room and decided to shower.
*** ***
Alucard opened his eyes as he heard Bill close the door to his room. He had been awaked about five minutes before Bill did, but didn't want to disturb the little angel sleeping besides her.
He couldn't figure it out. He always felt at peace when she was with him. He only knew her barely a day but he felt that he belonged to her.
He closed his eyes again and drifted back to sleep.

Gabrielle slowly opened her eyes to greet the new day. She stretched her tired limbs, arching her back like a cat. As she sat up she noticed that she was alone on the bed. But she wasn't worried for she smiled as she saw HIM waving at her from a chair in front of her.
"Have you been watching me?" she asked as she yawned. Alucard nodded and smiled. "Why?" instead of answering, Alucard blushed and headed for the kitchen. Smiling after him, she followed.
As she entered, she felt the tension in the room. Neither Bill nor her sister was looking at each other. She wondered why. Yesterday they seemed okay but now... what has happened?
It was not like they were angry at each other. It was like they were embarrassed of something each other did. But what?
Gabby sat down and ate her breakfast. Everyone was silent during the meal. Gabby looked at Alucard with a questioning glance and the boy merely shrugged. After a moment, Fleur excused herself and went to her room.
When she left, Bill gave a sigh of relief. Both young ones looked at him in question as he gave them an embarrassed look.
"It's an adult thing," he finally said.
"Right," she said unconvincingly. Sighing, Bill went to his room. Gabby looked at Alucard with an exasperated look.
"Do you think he fancies my sister and she found out?" she asked. A smile crept into his lips and shrugged. "Side with your own gender, would you," she teased. Alucard gave her an incredulous look and smiled. "I'll get dressed," she smiled at him and went to her sister's room. Knocking silently, she opened the door and found her sister lying on her bed.
"What's wrong?" Gabby asked. Sighing, Fleur sat up and smirked at her sister.
*** ***
"Nothing out of the ordinary," Fleur said. "I just realized that Bill's like any other man."
"How so?" Gabby asked.
"He looked at he as if I'm... I'm some kind of object!" she almost shouted.
"You mean gaping like a mad idiot?" her sister asked. Fleur laughed and smiled at her.
"Exactly," sighing in frustration, she slumped back on the bed. Sighing at her sister's behavior, Gabby smirked and opened the door to the bathroom.
"I'll be taking a bath," she said and entered the bathroom. Fleur knew it wasn't Bill's fault. It was just frustrating to have every man look at you in a way that made you feel like something on display.
She needed to think. She needed a bubble bath.
She got up a few minutes later and went towards the bathroom. As she entered, she could hear the rinse of the shower. Thinking she should surprise her little sister she silently crept up to the tub and quickly opened the curtain.
The surprise was on her.
Bill Weasley was frozen stiff in surprise as he looked at his intruder. He made no attempt to cover himself for he was stunned by what had just happened. He was already in the bathroom when Gabby entered. She smiled at him and excused herself and exited the bathroom through the adjoining room, Bill's. After a few moments he was already showering when the curtains opened. He froze as he caught from the corner of his eye the platinum hair of the witch he just rudely stared not a few minutes ago.
Fleur was shocked to see that it wasn't he sister. She gaped as she saw him and swallowed as she trailed her eyes from his head to his toes.
She was almost out of breath as she saw his perfect pectorals and abs. It took her great restrain not to touch them and drag her palm slowly to feel every part of his torso.
She knew she shouldn't but her eyes wouldn't listen. Her gaze went lower and.... Her eyes widened and she almost fainted. It took a lot of will power to avert her eyes but she did. But she felt that all of her blood went to her face.
"I.... ah.... I..." she couldn't complete what she was going to say.
"So...." Bill hesitated as well. He was smiling nervously, he didn't know how to react in a situation like this. "Are we even?" he blurted. He didn't know where that question came from but it came out.
Fleur heard him but it did not register until a few minutes later. Flushing, she slowly closed the curtain and went to her room. Closing the door, she walked slowly to her bed and crashed into the mattress.
Then, she screamed her embarrassment.

"Professor Dumbledore," Bill said as he saw the old wizard on the lobby of his apartment complex. "It's nice for you to come."
"I must confess that this dilemma has aroused my curiosity as well," the wise wizard said, his eyes twinkling.
"Good day, Professor," Fleur said as she shook the professor's hand.
"Good day to you too," he smiled. "We have seen the site and was shocked... to say the least, at what we saw." Professor Dumbledore sighed and looked at both of them. "Indeed, Lucius Malfoy is dead. That made Fudge really ticked off and scared."
"Scared?" the both asked.
"There is a legend about that tomb that I do not want to discuss out here," he smiled.
"Let's go then," Bill said as he led the headmaster to his quarters.
As they entered his quarters, Bill could hear Gabby talking to Alucard. Curiosity got the better of him as he peered to see them.
"I know it gets confusing but you need to be up to date," Gabby smiled as Alucard had his nose buried on a book.
"What are you two doing?" Bill asked Gabby smiled at him and looked back at Alucard.
"I'm trying to teach him history," she said proudly. "He's been out of touch from civilization and I'm helping him catch up. But personally, I think he's only behind five hundred years."
"Why did you say that?" Albus Dumbledore said as he smiled at her. Gabby smiled back and blushed.
"It's just a hunch but he opened the history book and skimmed until he reached the fifteenth century," she looked at Alucard who was now putting the book away. "And he doesn't act like someone from three thousand years ago."
"Indeed," Dumbledore smiled. "What's your name young man?" Alucard blinked in confusion and looked at Gabby for help.
"He's name is Alucard Rimidalv," she smiled. Dumbledore blinked in confusion and smiled at him.
"Really?" he asked as he looked at him appraisingly. "I would never have thought."
"Never would have thought what, Professor?" Bill asked but the wizard only smiled at him.
"It is a small matter," Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Let's get back to our former business."
"Yes," Fleur smiled as she sat on the sofa. "About the legend of the tomb."
"Yes," Dumbledore sat on the chair opposite of her. "The legend of the angel of darkness. The legend says that once about three thousand years ago a sorcerer lived in Egypt and created havoc among its people. Death, destruction and misery were an everyday life.
"This had gone out through the years and left Egypt to the point of destruction."
"Why wasn't there any record of it?" Bill asked interrupting the wise wizard. Dumbledore smiled as he looked at Alucard. The boy blinked as all attention was directed to him.
"The people were ashamed that the Pharaoh had their savior killed. They didn't want to remember," Dumbledore sighed and fixed his glasses. "However, the Pharaoh had reason not to trust their so called savior."
"Why?" Gabrielle asked.
"Their savior has more darkness than any of the dark wizards that had lived," the old wizard sighed.
"Even Voldemort?" Bill asked but was afraid he already knew.
"Yes, my boy. Even Voldemort," Dumbledore said sullenly but the twinkle in his eye never faded.
"Can we stop him?" Fleur asked but Dumbledore shook his head.
"The only one who could match him is dying," he sighed. "I'm afraid no one could stop him."
"Voldemort knows about this, doesn't he?" Bill asked quietly. He didn't what to think about the consequences of the two beings of the dark fighting against each other. It might lead to total destruction of the known world.
"Voldemort does not know about the true nature of this creature but he will seek it and attempt to gain its trust, thank you dear lad," Dumbledore said as Alucard gave him a cup of tea. He was carrying a serving tray with a teapot and three more cups. He set it down on the middle of the coffee table and passed the tea around. He took up the sugar bowl and looked at them inquiringly.
"Two lumps please," Gabby said as she smiled and Alucard dropped two cubes of sugar in it. The adults looked at her confusingly and she merely shrugged.
"The first thing I taught him was proper etiquette and good grooming," she smiled proudly. "I wanted him to be a gentleman," she defended and the adults laughed.
"So what are we going to do about the creature?" Bill asked when the laughter subsided.
"Nothing," Dumbledore said firmly. "He is beyond you and me. He draws power from sources Voldemort wished he had. No, my children. You are safer not pursuing this anymore." Before anyone could object, the headmaster stood up and looked at his guest. "I thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Weasley. But I've better be going."
"I'll see you out," Bill said as he opened the door for the headmaster. "By the way Professor. What will happen to the site?"
"It will be closed for investigation," Dumbledore said. "Sirius Black will be heading the team."
"Can we assist?" Fleur asked. "We could help in a great deal if you'd let us."
Dumbledore smiled and opened his mouth but before he could say anything Bill intervened.
"We could find anything in those cavern," he argued. "We're not going to face that creature. I'll bet that's the last place he'll be."
"Please, Professor Dumbledore?" Fleur pleaded. The old wizard sighed and smiled at them.
"Know this. Sirius has total control of the investigation. What he says goes, understand?" he smiled. Bill and Fleur nodded in agreement and they went out to see the headmaster off.
"What's that all about?" Gabby asked. Alucard shrugged and offered her a crumpet. Smiling, Gabby took one and enjoyed her tea.
"What are you not telling me, Ally?" she asked softly. Alucard sighed and slumped his shoulders, his eyes pleading to her. Gabby smiled and went over to hold his hand. "Just promise me when you decide to tell me you'll tell me everything? I wanted to know about you more and I know you wanted to know me better." Alucard nodded and smiled at her.
Sighing, she looked at the door the adults just exited.
"Is it just me or did those two made up," she asked but Alucard shook his head. "You're right Ally, they must have an understanding. But it's killing me to know what had happened." She looked at Alucard who was giving her an oblique smile.
Gabby knew what it meant and mirrored it.
