"What are you doing?" Gabby asked as she peered into her sister's bedroom. Fleur was reading an old Egyptian text when she looked up and smiled at her sister.

"Trying to figure out what was it that was in that tomb," she sighed. "I can't find any relative text about it." Gabby sat beside her sister and gave him an inquiring look.

"What happened?" Gabby asked. Fleur looked at her curiously, confused at her question.

"What happened where?" she asked.

"You two weren't talking to each other since this morning. And now the tension was eased if not abated. What happened?" Gabby was smiling slyly at her sister as she noticed a blush on her cheeks.

"Nothing happened," she said softly but Gabby wasn't fooled.

"Really?" she prodded.

"Really," Fleur said, her tone suggested that it was final.

"Okay," Gabby said unconvincingly. "I was just curious as to why you kept looking as if you could see through his clothes." Fleur's heart jumped at her accusation.

"What do you mean?" she asked but nervousness crept into her voice.

"I mean you were looking like you would rip his clothes off in any minute," she smiled. "It's like....what's the best way to describe it?" she thought for a few moments and snapped her fingers. "Like the way people stare at us every time."

Fleur sighed and looked at her.

"You won't stop until you've got what you came for, wouldn't you?" Fleur asked in surrender as she knew the answer to that question. Gabby's smile only widened in anticipation.

"You know me pretty well."

With a final sigh, Fleur faced her sister. "I accidentally saw him naked," she said in a soft voice. Gabby's smile vanished and her jaw dropped. Did she say what she thought she said?

"You saw him... naked?"

"Yes," Fleur sighed again in defeat. "And I..."

"Gaped at him like a mad idiot," Gabby finished for her. Fleur nodded in shame of what she did.

"It was worse that what he did to me," she exclaimed. "I had my nightgown on..."

"Which was gossamer," Gabby interrupted.

"And the only thing that covered him was water," she lowered her head and started to talk slowly and almost huskily. "It trickled down on every hard muscle on his body. It outlined his chest and went to his abdominal and then it crept to..."

"Stop!" Gabby said as she covered her ears. "That was too much information." Fleur sighed and slumped on the bed.

"I feel like a scarlet woman," Fleur said. "I have indecent thoughts of him ever time I closed my eyes."

"You fancy him, don't you?" Gabby smiled and it grew when she gave a nod. "About time." Fleur's eyes widened at her comment.

"About time?" she asked. "Gabby, I've had boyfriends before."

"The most anyone had been with you was two weeks," Gabby huffed. "And they only wanted your body."

"Sad but true," Fleur sighed. "All the boys are attracted to our Veela heritage."

"The ones outside aren't," Gabby jerked a thumb towards the door. "Bill maybe... MAYBE attracted to you but he had enough common sense to fight those urges. Or maybe it's something else."

"He's not gay," Fleur said in his defense. "Trust me, I know."

"I know he's not gay," Gabby sighed in frustration. "He's been giving you these looks when you're not looking. I was thinking about something else."

"Whatever it is I hope I could..." Fleur paused and blushed.

"Could what?" Gabby teased.

"Never mind," she sighed. "What about Alucard?"

"What about Ally?" she asked.

"Does he like you because of our heritage?" Fleur teased but at the same time was curious.

"No he doesn't," she said indignantly but smiled when she saw her sister's teasing expression. "I don't know exactly but he just likes me." Gabby's voice was soft and filled with longing. She looked at her sister and smiled almost in a dreamy state.

"He takes away my nightmares," she said as she sighed. "That... Death Eater...." Her voice shook but steadied herself. "When someone drives away the nightmares, he's special in every way."

"So you fancy him?" Fleur asked.

Gabby didn't blush but smiled lovingly and looked at her sister.

Bill was reading a book when he felt a pair of eyes looking at him. Turning around he could see that Alucard was glaring at him from the other seat as if he had done something hideously wrong.

Bill frowned and turned back to his book but suddenly dropped it as he saw Alucard looking directly at him sitting on a chair that he swiveled directly in front of him. Clutching his chest, Bill looked at where Alucard was and where he was now.

How the hell did he do that? Bill was trying to breathe normally but his heart still beat like it was trying to jump out of its place. After a few minutes, it slowly returned to normal. Bill looked at Alucard with contempt but the boy's glare never flinched.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" he asked but he never removed the glare. "What is it?" he asked. Alucard glanced at the girl's door and back at him.

"Alucard, you're driving me crazy," Bill said. Without taking his eyes off of him, Alucard took a parchment and wrote on it. He gave it to Bill who looked at it in confusion.

/Am I?/ It said. Bill sighed and looked at the boy solemnly. "What is it?"

/I was wondering what's going on between Lady Fleur and yourself./

"It's nothing to be concerned about," Bill said as she leaned on the couch. Alucard looked at him disbelievingly and smirked.

"It's a personal matter," Bill said. "If it makes you feel better, I'm going to try and rectify the situation." Alucard gave him an approving smile and stood up. But he paused and sat down again.

/Do you like her?/

"I do," Bill said and sighed. "It's strange really." Alucard gave him an inquiring look. "Alucard, if I tell you will you tell me what are you?" Alucard was still for a moment, and he shook his head.

/That honor is reserved for Lady Gabrielle./

"You really like her, don't you?" Bill teased but Alucard didn't answer. "What are you afraid of?"

Alucard sighed and set up the couch. Bill sighed as he gave up.

"Very well. We have a big day coming and I have a feeling you'd be joining us," he smiled and Alucard nodded. "Good night, Alucard."

Alucard sighed and lay down on the bed.

The next day as the four of them were having breakfast, Bill had received a letter from Dumbledore and surprisingly Alucard also has one.

"Hey laddie," Bill gave the letter to him who looked at it with interest. Alucard lifted the letter to the light and opened it. He blinked in surprise to see it was empty.

"Why would he send you an empty letter?" Gabby asked as she looked at him in intrigued. "What does yours say?" she asked Bill.

"The investigation will start tomorrow morning," Bill said as he inspected the letter. "We'll be in the team."

"Terrific," Gabby said much to Fleur's annoyance.

"What do you mean terrific?" she asked. "You're..."

"Actually she is," Bill said as he reread the letter. "Dumbledore said that we needed to stay together. He said it is safer that way. Either the Death Eaters of that creature may come for us." Fleur sighed and placed her hands on her hips.

"We need more materials for the site," she said as she went to her bedroom.

"Be sure to lock the doors," Gabby teasingly called out. Fleur blushed as she closed the door.

"I'm going to prepare for tomorrow," Bill said as he went to his room, leaving the young ones staring after them.

"The letter wasn't empty, was it?" Gabby asked. Alucard held up a small key for her to see. She examined it and gasped in surprise as she recognized the key.

"That's a Gringotts vault key," she said. "Why would Professor Dumbledore send you a vault key?" Alucard shrugged and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" she asked.

Alucard pointed out but Gabby sighed and took a coat.

"I'm coming with you," she said. But before he could protest, she smiled at him. "You need someone to take you there." Alucard looked at the bedrooms in concern. Gabby followed his gaze and smiled.

"Alright, we'll wait for them to leave," Gabby said as she pulled him to the couch. "We wait until then."

"I didn't realized that each bank had a portal to the other banks," Gabby said as they entered Gringotts London branch. They entered Egypt branch and found out that the key belonged to the vault in London. At the portal station the told the goblin there where they were going and within moments they were standing in the lobby of the London branch.

Alucard sighed and went to one of the desk goblins and called for his attention.

"What do you want?" he said curtly. Alucard had a hard face as he presented his key. The goblin looked at it and nodded. "Very well. I'll have Puck take you."

Gabby blinked in surprise as she looked at Alucard who simply nodded. They followed the goblin to the cart and he led them to a vault.

"Vault 003," the goblin said as he got out of the cart. Gabby blinked in confusion as she followed him.

"003?" she asked as she looked at Alucard.

"The double zeroes are owned by the richest wizards in all Europe," the goblin explained as he unlocked the vault. Gabby looked at her companion in surprise.

"What are you doing with a key for this vault?" she inquired. Alucard shrugged confusingly and looked at the goblin. The goblin opened the vault and without hesitation, they entered.

When they did, they couldn't believe what they saw.

There was a mountain of galleons, sickles and knuts higher than any pile Gabby had seen. At the back of the room, she could barely make out the piles of gold and was awed by the sight. She looked at Alucard to see his reaction but he was reading a letter.

She found a small table by the side and found the envelope. It was probably for him, who ever the vault was entrusted with. Folding the parchment, Alucard placed it in his pocket and ventured further inside the vault.

Gabby spotted a group of paintings neatly piled into one corner. She care fully picked one up and examined it.

It was a nice painting of a landscape. Jugging by the colors of the leaves of the tree it was autumn. In the middle of the painting was a castle... no, a palace. It was elegant and beautiful, surrounding the palace was a lake and it reflected the castle and its surroundings.

At the bottom she saw the artist's initials; A. R. Blinking, Gabby placed the painting down and looked at Alucard who was pulling a trunk.

"What do you have there?" she asked. Alucard lifted the lid and she found sets of clothes, neatly piled in it. But the style was more of gothic and late Victorian.

"I don't think they wear those things anymore?" Gabby said. Alucard shrugged and struggled with another trunk. "What do you have in there? Suits of armor?" she joked. Alucard smiled and pulled them out of the vault. Smiling, Gabby followed him, not before taking a last look at the pile of paintings.

They were already inside Bill's quarters when Bill and Fleur arrived. Alucard was casually reading a book and Gabby was lying on the couch. Looking at the two, she was surprised that they looked exhausted.

"What happened?" she asked.

"A hectic day in the library," Bill said and held up his hand to stop them from inquiring further. "Don't ask." Alucard looked at them as if they're crazy.

"How would a library be hectic?" Gabby asked his unspoken question.

"We can't find anything relevant about this creature," Fleur said as she massaged her head. "It's like it never existed."

"The only records about it happening was in that tomb," Bill said as he yawned. "I'm going to bed," he announced. "We'd better settle in, we're going to have a long day ahead of us."

"Then see you tomorrow," Fleur smiled at Bill and entered her room. Bill sighed almost lovingly and he in turn entered his room. The two kids looked at each other in confusion and intrigue.

"What was that?" Gabby asked but Alucard only blinked in confusion. "Better rest," she told his as she kissed his cheek. "Goodnight Ally," she smiled and went to her sister's bedroom.

Alucard touched the place on his cheek where her lips touched it. He sighed and went to open his trunk that was hidden from view.

Upon opening it he took out a rectangular box. He sighed and placed a hand on it before opening it.

He had never used it before, but then he was more partial to hand to hand combat. He looked into the contents of the box and smiled. He looked into the killer of demons and slayer of evil.

The Ivory Saint.
