A/N- Now, including this chapter, there are only three chapters of this fic left. Yeah, I know it's short, but…wait for it…I'll be doing a…:drum roll:…sequel by the name of "Wizarding Dhampire." Anyhow, I hope you will enjoy this chapter!


Chapter 6- Arrival of aDark Lord

"How dare you defy me, Harry Potter! I, who have given you shelter! I, who feed you! I, who have given you a place to sleep at night! What audacity is this!" Dracula screeched.

Harry shook his head and sighed. Then, staring out from over his hand of cards, he said, "Get a grip. It's only a Wild Card. Now, draw four."

Dracula grumbled as he did so, muttering such things as "not only do I have to draw, it's red now. I don't have any red," and "at least you're not making me draw twelve like the last time." Harry laughed at that last little murmur.

"That's what you get you square off with me! Remember that, O Mighty Dark Lord!"

Dracula scoffed, rearranged his hand, and then threw down a Wild Card of his own. "It is green now."

"Damn," Harry muttered. He only had one green card left.

Things had been quiet since Alucard and the Belmont had left. That had been two nights ago, and the night before this one had been Harry's birthday. Hermione had sent, in jest, this pack of Uno cards. The Boy-Who-Lived was quite sure his friend had never really intended him to use them, but they had come in handy.

Dracula had gotten the hang of the game fairly quickly, and then had set out to defeat Harry. It was now five to zero in Harry's favor. It made the young wizard feel a bit sorry for the Vampire King. He couldn't even win at a simple card game. He had thought to try and let him win, but Harry had been found out. Dracula had put up a big fuss that if he could not play fairly, than he would not play at all. So, now, in their sixth game, Harry smiled triumphantly.

"Uno," he said.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Dracula said, a multitude of cards still in his hand. "And I'll bet that no matter what I lay down, you'll still win somehow."

This was true. Harry's last card was a Wild Card. Dracula grudgingly set down a green two, and Harry laid down his card. Dracula cursed again and threw his hand down.

"I give up," he said.

"Well, that doesn't sound like you," Harry said, gathering the cards back into their box.

"Those with unlimited life are renowned for their patience. However, I guess the Fates have deemed it that I should never defeat you at this simple card game," Dracula said, standing. "Therefore, you should go eat. It is long past the time you usually take your dinner at."

Harry put the pack of cards in his pocket and nodded. However, as he stood, a bright flash of green light shown through a nearby window. The wizard and the vampire exchanged a quick glance, then both rushed to the window. Much to Harry's surprise and despair, the Dark Mark loomed just out of their reach. Looking down, he could see where Voldemort and his followers were having an easy time of passing through the castle. Harry whirled to face Dracula.

"Don't you have any type of security to keep him out?" Harry demanded.

Dracula looked down his nose at Harry and crossed his arms. "Is he evil?" he asked.

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief. "What kind of question is that! Of course, he's evil!"

"Well, we usually welcome that sort around here."

Harry sighed in aggravation, leaning on the windowsill. Dracula took his arm and said, "Come on. We'll go wait for him in the Throne Room."

"Wait for him? What do you mean, 'wait for him'?" Harry said, trying to stop the Vampire King from dragging him away, but it was no good.

"Don't worry, child. I won't let him have you. Trust me," Dracula said as he pulled Harry up a flight of stairs.

"Fine!" Harry said, pulling his arm away, but keeping up with Dracula of his own free will. "I'll trust you, but if I end up dead, I'm coming back to haunt you for the rest of eternity!"

"Fair enough."


End Notes: Sorry for the shortness of the chapter. I hope it was funny, though. We'll get to see more of Voldemort in the next chapter, promise. Please review!
