AN: Thank you so much for all the reviews. It makes me happy to know that people read my story. And I still don't own Hellsing, harry potter, or anything else that you have seen before this story, I am not going to say the disclaimer anymore, this counts for the rest of the story.
Ok: I made some major edits to the story so this chapter got really short.
~~~Flashback
"Hello, Alucard, it is nice to see you again. I've grown so old, and you never seem to change." Dumbledore greets pleasantly as Alucard enters his office.
"My master claimed that you want me to teach students," Alucard says with a manic grin plastered on his face.
"Yes, I want you to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. You should be quite knowledgeable in this field."
"Indeed." He responded chuckling.
"As for rules, I must insist that you not bring permanent harm to any of my students or faculty."
"Is that all?" Alucard asked, thinking about all the ways he can have fun without permanent damage.
"Yes. I hope you are pleased with the arrangement."
"Indeed," Alucard states bowing and fading from the room dramatically.
"This should be a unique learning experience for the students," Dumbledore laughed to himself knowing full well that the new DADA professor would give them a thorough introduction to the dark arts.
Dumbledore walks down to the great hall for the beginning of the year feast wondering what kind of interesting entrance his new teacher would indulge in.
~~~End Flashback
On the way to the dorms the students were relieved to escape the sickly sweet stare of the new high inquisitor and the clearly crazy new professor but some were not ready to ignore the oddities at the school.
"There was seriously something wrong with the DADA professor," Ron said.
"I don't think he's human," Hermione responds seeming almost unsure of her conclusion.
"What do you mean?" Harry asks quietly, the conversation turning into whispers as they pass by other students.
"Isn't it obvious?" She questions rhetorically.
"No," Harry and Ron respond together, both rolling their eyes at their friend.
"Well. For one, he didn't eat anything throughout the whole meal. Second, did you notice how pale he is? And his clothing is way too thick for the hot, humid, weather; he'd be having a heat stroke if he was human."
"And don't forget his entrance. What could make the enchanted candles blow out like that?" Harry comments.
"Well, then what is he?" Ron asks.
"I don't know," Hermione says, looking embarrassed at her lack of an answer as they say the password to the fat lady, enter the dorms, and sit in front of the fireplace to continue their concerning discussion.
"Another trip to the library?" Ron asked glumly at the thought of library time this early in the year.
"No," Hermione responded quickly, "It's not that I don't know what he could be. I don't have enough information to narrow down the possibilities. There are way too many magical creatures that are pale and make rooms dark, even ghosts can darken a room, or night elves, vampires, werewolves, nix, shifters, any kind of shadow being, legged sirens, arrancar, ect."
"Where are you going," she asks as Harry begins to wander off.
"I'm getting my invisibility cloak."
"No." she stated with finality, "Just no. We have no idea what he is. We can't stalk him. Not very many creatures that thrive in darkness are friendly."
"Dumbledore wouldn't hire someone overtly dangerous, and it's obvious that there is something wrong with him. Think about Quirrel, had we investigated him sooner, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to gain so much power." Harry said confidently.
"I don't know about this," Ron says, getting nervous at the prospect of spying on the creepy professor.
"Better to find out what he is on our terms instead of waiting for him to do something," Harry huffed.
"At least wait until after our first class with him." Hermione pleads.
Ron nodded enthusiastically and Harry relents, "Fine. One class. If we still don't know anything we follow him."
Hermione sighed and Ron looked a little green at the concept, but they agreed. Their beds were starting to look far to tempting after the excitement of their first day back at Hogwarts anyway.
