"Are we really sure about this, Minerva?" Kingsley asked as he and Minerva walked into the sitting room. "Trusting a vampire to teach the students who only fights vampires because of the enchantments place on him? What's to say that he won't betray us if He-who-Must-Not-Be-Named offers to remove the enchantments?"
"Well, for one is the fact that Alucard would have to trade one master for another, and if what Albus has told me is true, then he would never willingly do so. Alucard is more likely to kill any representative He-who-must-not-be-named is likely to send, then actually agree to listen to their offer."
"Yes, that's all well and good, but if the rumors are true, he's supposed to be one of the most powerful vampires out there. You heard what happened at the tower. He was supposedly destroyed, but still managed to kill the vampire responsible for the entire thing and walk away. Are we sure that the seals on him are functioning properly." asked Kingsley?
"Albus insists that they are, so one can only hope," Minerva replied. "I'm not entirely sure of Albus' reasoning on this either, but he insists that Alucard is the best one for the job, and that he will be able to protect the Hogwarts express by himself better than the entire Order could. We will just have to wait and see."
"Such faith in me is so overwhelming my little goddess," Alucard chuckled as he melted from the shadows. "I don't know if I can handle it."
Minerva and Kingsley quickly turned around, and Kingsley started to draw his wand.
Alucard just smirked at Kingsley and said, "I would leave the wand holstered, my dear king cop. My seals may prevent me from killing you, but I can still defend myself."
"I would advise against doing that at Headquarters," Minerva said after she recovered. "Several of the Order's members are quite jumpy, and are likely to start hexing you and ask questions later."
Upon hearing this Kingsley started to chuckle and said, "I think the only one liable to start hexing him without asking questions is good old Mad-eye. I happened to make a noise behind him once and he quickly turned around firing stunners at me, as well as shouting something about cowardly Death Eaters."
"I'd be more worried about young Mr. Potter myself," Minerva replied. Ever since the events at the end of last year, his temper has been on a short leash. The only reason he hasn't cursed half of the order is because of the Underage Restriction, although, he has punched Severus a couple of times.
"Yes," Kingsley replied, "but in all fairness, Severus did cross the line when he started talking about Sirius. If Harry hadn't of decked him, young Nymphadora might have cursed him into oblivion.
Alucard just smirked as he heard this and said, "Sounds like fun. I'm already looking forward to it. Maybe this Mad-eye, Nymphadora, and young Mr. Potter will keep me from getting bored. Lately, my master and Walter have been the only ones who have been of worthwhile entertainment to me in quite a while."
Minerva just shook her head and said, "Yes, well we need to be going so as soon as Miss Seras shows up we can go."
"Yes, here she is now Miss McGonagall, and Mr. Shacklebolt, Walter said as he and Seras entered the room."
"Good," Minerva said as she produced a cane. "Everyone grab on to the cane and it will transport us to headquarters."
After saying this, everyone grabbed onto the cane and the Portkey activated transporting everyone to #12 Grimauld Place.
Well, there's the second chapter. Let me know what you think.
