Everyone gasped at Alucard's reaction. They expected a loud blast but it never came.

Mainly because the man was holding the gun by the grip, his thumb stopped the hammer from hitting the bullet.

Instead of being angry, the man smiled.

"Still quick on the trigger?" he teased. Alucard's eyes widened in recognition and holstered the weapon. He suddenly hugged the man with all of his might, almost choking him. "Ally, Air!" Blushing in embarrassment, Alucard released him.

"Professor," Dumbledore called out, his eyes twinkling. "Please join us."

"Am I interrupting something?" the newcomer asked.

"Everyone, I would like you to meet our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Professor Leon Hart," Dumbledore smiled.

"You look too young to be a teacher," Sirius asked making Leon smile.

"And Snape looked a little odd to be one as well, but here we are," Leon's comment brought laughter to Bill and Sirius. The girls only smiled. "I am interrupting something, I shall return later." Leon looked at Gabby with interest.

"What is she doing in that child's body?" Leon asked. Alucard sighed and smirked. "You don't say," he said as he noticed Alucard's expression. "Anyway, it's your case," he told the boy with a smile.

"Excuse me, but do you know him?" Bill asked. Curiosity was attacking him with a vengeance. How would this professor know a person who had been sealed for thousands of years? Granted he may not come from Ancient Egypt but somewhere in the dark ages. Still, how did he know him?

"Yes," Leon said with certainty. But that was all he said.

"So, Angelian, what brings you here?" Lilith asked. Leon smirked at he looked at her.

"My primary duty," he said.

"Professor, do you know anything about a Berserk Fury?" Fleur asked.

"Marck?" Leon said in confusion. "Could have used him about two days ago. I swear, he's the only person I know who could make minced meat out of a Dementor."

"The school was attacked by Dementors?" Sirius asked in surprise as he looked at the headmaster. "How was Harry?"

"Master Potter is fine," Leon said. "We had help in taking care of the dementors."

"One of your 'friends' no doubt," Lilith grinned. "You always have a soft spot for animals." Leon was silent but he only looked at her with a smile.

"Let me get this straight," Bill massaged his temples in confusion. "You know this... creature?"

"Yes," he said plainly. "He's not wild again, is he?"

"Wild?" Fleur asked confused as well.

"When he can't control his wild emotions, he is considered wild," Lilith said. "All of us have that kind of emotion." Gabby's consciousness made her look to Alucard who was sitting in a dark corned of the room.

"Even him," Lilith told Gabby in her mind. Aloud, she continued. "But it is the person who controls these emotions."

"Yes. But Marck doesn't have much control," Leon smirked. "What happened to his victims?" he asked Dumbledore.

"He drank their blood," he simply said.

"Recently he bisected a human with a letter opener," Sirius said. Bill and Fleur gaped at him. "Should I be more specific?" he asked.

"I could describe his methods to you if you'd want," Leon said. "I have seen him remove the skeleton on a man before." Everyone didn't seem to want to know about it. "I took him about three seconds. He always smells like blood..."

"We get the picture," Fleur said nauseated.

"How can we stop him?" Sirius asked. Suddenly, Leon had a coughing fit. Alucard came to his side and patted his back. When his coughing subsided, he cleared his throat.

"As you are now? No. But I'd rather see him turned back than see him killed," Leon sighed as he shook his head. "He's pretty useful."

Sirius, Bill, Fleur and Gabby thought that he was mental.

Hermione Granger was in the library when she saw a boy with red eyes enter. At first he paid him no mind but he walked straight into the restricted section. She still looked at him as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up, she smiled when she saw who it was.

"Hello, Sirius," the witch greeted. "What brings you here?"

"Hello there, Hermione," he smiled. "I was wondering where my godson is. I've been wanting to see him."

"He's here somewhere. Though I doubt this was your first choice of location to find him," Hermione smiled. Sirius laughed and nodded as the boy with red eyes stopped at their table holding a tome. Hermione blinked at the book and then to the boy.

"It's better not to say satisfy your curiosity, Hermione," Sirius said. "Well then, I'll find Harry after I have shown my guest to Dumbledore's office. Can you find your way?" he asked the boy. The boy nodded and smiled. "Alright, I really need to see my godson. He has a lot to explain after that dementor incident. See you around, Hermione." With that, Sirius left.

"Hi Sirius," a girl with platinum blond hair called as she walked up to the boy. Hermione looked at the girl bewildered that she reminded her of someone. But then when she looked around, nearly every boy was looking at her almost gaping.

But with a glare from the boy, everyone returned to what they were doing.

"That was some glare," Hermione commented making the girl laugh.

"Ally could glare a zombie back to its grave," she giggled. "But he's harmless," the one called Ally looked as if he was denying that fact with his eyes.

He was afraid that the girl was wrong.

"That I do not doubt," Hermione smiled. "What are you researching?"

"It's for a project," the girl smiled as she sat beside her. "We are researching creatures that feed on evil. We had found one, it's called the Berserk Fuhrer. But it's quite an enigma."

"I had read something about a creature like that," Hermione said suddenly interested. "It says that the Fury was a hunter of dark wizards and devourer of dark lords. I have heard of a story that the Fury had traveled back in time in pursuit of a dark mage that had killed his beloved. There the trail ended. They never knew what happened to him."

"Thank you," the girl smiled. "That was informative." The girl stood and gave Hermione a peck on both cheeks. "We'll be seeing you." Ally bowed and smiled at Hermione before joining the girl. Seeing them off, she couldn't help but be intrigued by them.

Shrugging, Hermione went back to studying.

"I wish you could talk," Gabby said as she and Alucard walked the corridors of Hogwarts. "Then you could tell me your entire story."

Alucard sighed and looked at her sullenly. "I know, I know. You'll tell me when you're ready." She smiled at him and looked forward.

Deep inside he was afraid.

Afraid for her to know the truth.

Afraid to be left alone.
