Chapter 5

Walking through the empty halls of Hogwarts, Daphne kept an eye on the moving paintings, noting how every now and again a painting would leave the frame. Behind her Harry seemed simply happy to be back in the castle, however he was scowling, probably from the letter their esteemed headmaster had sent her. He had all but demanded an audience with her, and he had asked that Harry not be informed, however Daphne knew that the trust between them was tentative at best and brought him along since this was his life they would be talking about.

"Potter, how much do you trust the Headmaster?" Daphne asks barely glancing back at the raven haired teen.

"If you had asked me a few months ago I would have said I trust him with my life… now however I'm not sure." Harry says with a deep sigh.

Nodding at his words Daphne schooled her features and made sure her robes were impeccable before approaching the gargoyle. Before either teen could say anything the Gargoyle jumped aside allowing them entrance. Walking up the staircase they wait at the door to Dumbledore's office in silence. It doesn't take long for the door to swing open, and the teens quickly walked in.

Daphne scans the office taking in as many details as possible. Bookshelves lined the walls, stuffed nearly to bursting with old books and scrolls. The desk was covered in papers, inkwells, and broken quills, and behind that there was a self lined with silver knick knacks that seemed to be only half working. Dumbledore sat as his desk, looking over several sheets of paper while Fawks sat on his shoulder quietly singing.

"Ah Ms. Greengrass-Hellsing, thank you for your time, and I see you brought Mr. Potter." The old wizard says. A hint of questioning in his voice.

"Yes well since it is his future you asked to talk about I figured it would be best to bring him along. Who better to determine his life than him?" She answers politely, however there is a small hint of venom in her voice.

"And even if she tried to leave me at the Manor I would just come here anyway." Harry says causing Dumbledore to look at him skeptical while Daphne rolls her eyes almost imperceptibly.

"Anyhow, let us get down to business. Ms. Greengrass-Hellsing, Mr. Potter, would you two mind explaining how Mr. Potter became a Vampire?" Dumbledore asks forgoing any for of tact. Harry's eyes bug out from his skull at the question, while Daphne raises her eyebrow at the question.

"How long have you known?" Daphne asks as she takes her seat in front of the Headmaster's desk.

"After Ms. Granger and the Weaslys shared their memories with me." He explains as he gestures to a stone bowl sitting in the corner.

"Damn you're good." Harry whispers under his breath as he slumps into a chair next to Daphne.

"Ms. Greengrass-Hellsing, may I ask how and why Mr. Potter was turned?" Dumbledore asks as he takes a Lemon Drop from a drawer in his desk.

"A Werewolf attacked the Dursly's home, and put a hand six inches through my chest, Alucard turned me after Greengrass's magic reacted to me dying." Harry explains gesturing to his solar plexus.

"My oath to the Queen and to Albion reacted to Harry dying and caused me to feel great pain. My employees acted without my sayso and turned him." He explains.

"Interesting, did anything else happen after he was turned?" The Headmaster asks, a sparkle in his eye.

"If you're asking about the soul shard, I absorbed it." Harry says scowling. Daphne facepalms at Harry's Gryffindor nature. Dumbledore looks shocked at the statement, and the twinkle in his eyes is gone.

"You absorbed it?" The wizened headmaster asks before slumping down into his chair.

"In absorbing it, all power it had was destroyed, rendering it less than useless." Daphne explains causing the headmaster to sink even further.

"It would seem I have a lot to explain." Dumbledore says after taking a minute to recompose himself.

"A good place to start would be with what all you know about Voldemort and his resurrection." Daphne says, to which Harry agrees.

Dumbledore looks down to his desk for a moment before he starts talking. As he talks about Tom Riddle and the monster he became, he seems to regain a bit of the life he had before the conversation started. After a hesitant moment of silence he also explains what he knew about the soul shard that was in Harry, what he had planned, and what he knew about the prophecy.

"How much of my life did you fuck over?" Harry asks through gritted teeth.

"More than I had any right to, but you must understand, I thought it was the only way." Dumbledore sighs holding his face in his hands.

"Well the situation has changed." Daphne says as she puts a hand on Harry's shoulder, trying to keep him calm.

"You are unfortunately right Ms. Greengrass-Hellsing, I take it you have a plan?" Dumbledore let's out through a heavy sigh.

"I do, the Hellsing Organization can, and will take care of the Death Eaters and Voldemort. Voldemort is no longer considered just a Dark Lord, as stated by the treaty between Parliament and the Wizengamot he is now a monster, and he falls within our jurisdiction." Daphne says, her tone colder than usual, leaving no room for argument.

Landing in the Parlor room of Greengrass Manor, Daphne pulls out her wand and cleans off her robes with a few quick scourgify spells. Behind her she can hear the smallest sound of air displacing, signifying Harry's arrival. Turning to him, she scowls for a moment before a bare hint of a smile crosses his face.

"That went better than expected." Harry says with a wide grin. Daphne rolls her eyes at him before spinning on her heel and marching to her office. Harry follows behind her waiting for her orders.

"Now that we have jurisdiction over this, we can act as we need to." She says as they reach her office. Pusing open the door, Daphne is happy to see that Seras and Alucard are already waiting. Sitting down in her chair she looks to the only members of the Hellsing Organization capable of fighting.

"What would you have us do Master?" Alucard asks, a stony sadistic smile on his face.

"We need more people for the Hellsing Organization to get back in proper working order. Seras send this to the Queen, she will want to know we are hiring again. Alucard, I'm sure by now the Death Eaters have noticed your activities, it's time for you to take a break." Daphne says, her tone commanding and calculating.

"As you wish." Alucard says, a small smile playing on his lips.

"We need to cut off the support that Voldemort is rallying, Alucard can.. 'Persuade' the Vampires to stay out of the fight. The next biggest threat would be the Werewolves." She adds looking Harry in the eyes.

"So we get to go after Greyback?" He asks, a vengeful smile playing on his face.

"Indeed, I will ask the Unspeakables to give us any information they may have on his last known movements. He is hiding the Mundane way so don't expect a whole lot of help." Daphne adds.

"Wait Unspeakables?" Harry asks in surprise.

"Yes the Department of Mysteries swore an Oath similar to mine, instead of swearing it to The Ministry or Parliament their Oaths are given straight to the Crown, and to Greater Albion." Daphne explains.

"Alright what happens when we find him?" Harry asks as he leans against the wall, eagerness creeping into his voice.

"If you can catch him unaware you can put him and his entire pack down." Alucard states with a vicious grin.

"Indeed, it will take some time to find him if he is hiding in the mundane world." Daphne says thoughtfully.

"Ma'am, Sirs, if we are fighting werewolves then Harry is going to need to learn not to rely on his spells." Seras says quietly.

"Shite she's right, they are resistant to magic, aren't they?" Harry groans in annoyance.

"I think Dumbledore might be able to help us out here. He was the Transfiguration teacher for a long time wasn't he, then he may have some knowledge on Conjuration and Transmutation." Daphne says mostly to herself.

"Alright back up Greengrass, the hell are you saying?" Harry asks, now incredibly confused by his boss.

"We can ask Dumbledore to lend us some books so you can summon silver in some way to fight Grayback's pack." She explains thoughtfully.

"She's saying you can learn to shoot silver spikes." Alucard simplifies. With a wide grin Harry chuckles at the thought of fighting the werewolves.

"Wicked."
