A/N: Hi guys, so basically in this fic dumbledore had already found all the horcruxes by the time Harry was in fourth year and Voldemort was raised in third year. They defeated him halfway through fourth year and Snape, Fred and Dumbledore are still alive. This starts right after they defeat voldemort and in the middle of fourth year.

Chapter one Vienna Pierce drives her dagger into her target's stomach ignoring the spurt of blood that lands on her hand and around her feet. She glances at the target's face smirking when she saw the frozen look of horror, fear and anger on his face. " Are you done yet Cassian because my prey's already dead?" Vienna taps into the mindlink that allows her and Cassian Grey to communicate without speaking.
'Of course I am and, unlike you, my kill was clean enough that we can still drink from it.' Vienna rolled her eyes 'Where's the fun in a clean kill, you gotta let the target feel fear.' She heard Cassian's mental scoff.
'Whatever, where are you, I'm starving.' Vienna thinks at him.
'By that weird curving tree we saw when we were flying down. You know the one?' She racks her brain before remembering the tree that had curved around a boulder like a vine. It was only a couple minutes walk and an even shorter flight from where she was now. 'Yep be there in a few minutes.' Vienna grabs the dead man by his shirt collar preparing to start the quick trek back to the tree when she hears a twig crack, actually several twigs crack. Vienna pauses, dropping the now greying dead man and palming two of her daggers with the ease that only came after centuries of practice. 'Hey Cass there's someone else out here three someones it would seem.' The reply was immediate and Vienna could sense a hint of worry in her friend's words.
'Vampires, wizards, muggles or other.'
I tilted my head to the wind and gave a small sniff. Immediately the overpowering scent of a type of magic she personally hated filled her nostrils.
'Wizards.'
'Can you take them?' Before Vienna could give a particularly scathing retort about how she was an over 2000 year old vampire and these were a bunch of stupid, magic dependent wizards Cassian interrupted, unknowingly saving himself from her reply.
'Of course you can, they're only wizards but still, tell me if you need help okay?' 'Awww Cass, are you worried about me? That's so sweet.'
Ignoring me Cassian continued 'Try to make it a clean kill, we can bring it back to the Ancient if you do.'
'Contrary to popular beliefs, I can kill cleanly.' Vienna shot down their mental bond before another twig cracked and she slipped back into hunting mode.
