Right at this moment, fate decided to intervene and protect Snape, as Dumbledore walked in.
"Ah, I see that Minerva and Kingsley have returned. It is a pleasure meeting you Mr. Alucard," Dumbledore said. "I assume you have met everyone in the room. Would anyone like a lemon drop?"
"No headmaster, now if you'll excuse me, I have some potions that I need to work on," Snape quickly replied, and with that apparated out of the room.
Alucard began to laugh and quickly said, "Here I thought this was going to be boring, and now it looks as if I will have quite a bit of fun after all. " Looking towards Dumbledore he said, "So you are the white Bumblebee that my master has high regards for."
"Well, yes I suppose I am," Dumbledore responded with a twinkling of his eye. "And how is little Integra doing. It has been quite a while since I've been able to sit down and talk with her."
Smirking, Alucard responded, "Not so little anymore, plus I'm sure she would hate to be called little, especially since she shot me the last time I called her that."
"Yes," Dumlbedore said, "even when she was little, she hated being called that. Well if you excuse me, I must be off now. I have a sudden craving for lemon drops, and I seem to be all out. I will see you later, and before I forget, congratulations on you O.W.L. results." he said, turning to Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Have I ever mentioned that he is completely bonkers." Asked Ron.
"Not to me , you haven't, but on a different note, he chased away my new playmate. That was inconsiderate of him, don't you think." Alucard asked smirking.
":Sure, I guess, whatever you say, master" where the collected responses the everyone mumbled.
"Oh well, I'm sure we'll have lots of opportunities to play, don't you think my little goddess. Besides, we need to talk about our trip to Diagon Alley," responded Alucard.
"Yes," sighed McGonagal, "I suppose your right, after all, the children will need to get their school supplies here soon. As well as getting out of this house for at least a little bit would probably do them some good."
"Well, how about tomorrow then," Tonks suggested. "After all I am off tomorrow, so I can accompany the group. Between me and our two new guests, I'm sure we can handle it."
"And how much of your suggestion is just so you and Harry can go out and be alone tomorrow," Kingsley asked mischievously.
"Well…uh…I mean that…" blushed Tonks.
"Relax Tonks, I'm just giving you a hard time. I have no problem with your suggestion, provided no on else does," Kingsley smirked.
"The only problem I have with it, is that Tonks would be the only trained adult with them," Minerva responded. "I mean no offence Tonks, but there should be at least one other adult with them."
"How about this then," suddenly Alucard responded with a wink towards Seras. "It is expected that young Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger will spend the day together, so why not break them up automatically. Have them meet up a couple of times for a meal or snack, but why not have Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger together with another member of the Order, and have Ms. Tonks and Mr. Potter with Seras. I assure you, she is more that capable of taking care of herself."
"Bill and Fleur are both off tomorrow as well," Ron quickly said. "I'm sure that they would be more that happy to join me and Hermione."
"Well," Minerva said, "If Bill and Fleur are willing than I guess that would work. I suggest Mr. Weasley, that you go and quickly call Bill to make sure."
"Okay ma'am, I do it right now," and with that Ron hurried over to the fireplace, threw in some floo powder and yelled, "Gringott's, Bill Weasley's office."
Meanwhile, Seras was having a heated mental conversation with her Sire.
"What do you think you are doing Master, Making a suggestion like that,' Seras heatedly thought.
"Why, nothing.' Alucard thought back innocently. "All I did was make a suggestion. Besides, I thought you might relish the chance to be alone with the two of them. After all, you do find them attractive do you not? This could be the chance you need to get them into your bed."
'I realize that Master, but what if this ruins my chance in getting them. They could just as easily see me as a distraction.' Seras quickly responded.
'True Police girl, but think of the challenge that this will create for you. And really, that is half the fun of any chase. Alucard responded back to her.
Any further discussion between the two was interrupted with Ron coming back up to the group, saying "Bill says that its okay with him on the condition that Fleur's sister, Gabrielle join us. Apparently she's going to be in England tomorrow visiting, and Fleur wants to take her around Diagon Alley anyway."
"I have no problem with that," Hermione responded. "I am sure it'll be fun."
"Then its settled," Minerva said. "You four will go to Diagon Alley tomorrow, where you three," pointing to Seras, Harry, and Tonks, "will stick together, while you two," pointing to Ron and Hermione, "will meet up with Mr. Weasley, and the two Ms. Delacour's, and spend the day with them. You will all meet up together for lunch, and the be back here for Supper. Is that understood."
"Yes ma'am," they quickly responded, with Ron quickly rushing over to the fireplace to inform Bill of the plan.
"Good," she said, "with that settled, I believe it is almost time for supper. Shall we see what Mrs. Weasley has prepared for us," and with that everyone went into the dining room.
After dinner, Harry and Tonks found themselves alone in the study.
"Was it just me," Harry asked "or did that Seras woman seem interested in you."
"It wasn't just you," responded Tonks, "but it was you she was interested in, not me."
"I don't know," Harry responded "every time I looked at her, she was looking at you with a gaze of lust."
"Really," she responded, "because every time I looked at her it was you she was looking at with lust. Although, I wouldn't mind sharing you with her. She really was quite the looker."
At this, Harry began to blush, and muttered, "yeah I noticed."
Tonks quickly smirked, and said "ah, did I just give you something to fantasize about? Well, just wait till you birthday, and I'll make it all up to you." And walked away with a seductive sway of her hips.
As Harry watched her walk away, he said to himself, "I am going to need a very cold shower tonight." And with that went and prepared for bed, not realizing the someone had been watching them and was quietly laughing to himself thinking, 'Oh tomorrow should be quite interesting. Quite interesting indeed.'
