Integra struggled against her bindings as she glared at the vampire in front of her. A gag prevented her from calling out to Alucard, and who knew where he was at this point. The vampire chuckled lightly as he turned from the door to face her.
"You wont get out," he said lightly as he smirked at her. "Those ropes are impossible for a human to break."
Integra glared at him. Alucard would save her, he always had before.
"So much spirit," he said as he rounded her desk.
Integra's head turned to keep him in her sights.
"It makes for a good meal." A smirk played on his lips as he knelt beside her, glancing up at her. "And you wont be rescued. Alucard is being kept quite busy. Don't worry, he wont die, we need him to find the next Hellsing."
Next Hellsing? There were no other Hellsing's; she was the last one.
The vampire smirked, showing off one of his canines. "You didn't know?" he laughed, reaching up to brush away a strand of her hair. Integra jerked her head away, causing him to laugh more. "You see, another line of the Hellsing family was created, not long before Alucard was forced into their service. We haven't been able to locate them yet, but we will. And your death's going to help us with that."
Integra's fists clenched in her binds. Alucard would come, he had to. The vampire just sat and watched her for a moment before rising. "Don't worry," he said as he moved behind her. "Being bitten is one of the more pleasant ways to die." Gently, he tilted her head to the side, even as she began struggling against him once more.
Slowly, he lowered his head to the nook of her neck and breathed deeply, smelling her rising fear. He remained there a moment, then gave her neck a lick, smirking at the shudder of revulsion that ran through her.
"It won't take long," he murmured, before biting down.
***
One night, not many weeks after the death of his Master, Alucard apeared in a small neighbor hood in Little Whinging. After walking up to the front door he knocked a few times. When the door opened and he saw the one he was looking for he easily bowed.
***
"BOY!" Vernon shouted at the knock. "Get the door!"
Harry, busy in the kitchen sighed. "Yes Uncle Vernon," he replied, picking up a towel to dry his hands as he made his way to the door. Silently, he wondered who would be coming to the house after dark. Everyone on Little Whinging tended to stay in at night, it was one of the reasons he generally went out, if he could.
"Hello?" he asked, blinking when the very tall man bowed to him. "Er … can I help you?" he asked, confused.
"Harry James Potter, I am Alucard." Alucard stood up straight. "And now you are my master." He grinned, flashing his pure white fangs.
Harry opened his mouth to respond, only to freeze, mouth open at the sight of the fangs. A moment later, he snapped his jaw closed, as well as the door a moment later. Hurrying back from the door, he started up to his room
"Uncle Vernon, whatever you do, don't let the man outside in."
The family blinked at him as he raced up the stairs. He didn't know how to deal with Vampires, especially not one calling him 'Master', a title he really didn't like in the first place. Once in his room, he pulled out a parchment and a quill.
--
Vernon frowned. "I don't want any of that freakishness in this house," he growled as he stood and made his way to the door. "Now you see here!"
Sudden cold laughter filled the room. "Come now, it might be better if we spoke about this, Master" His red eyes seemed to glow as the vampire appeared from the shadows, right behind Dudley.
Vernon slammed the door closed and hurried back to the living room as Dudley yelped and did his best to hide behind Petunia. Vernon's eyes widened as he gazed at the vampire. "Get out of my house," he ordered with false bravado.
Alucard raised an eyebrow to the man before tilting his hat. "I think not, only a human from the Hellsing line can control me." He growled, making sure to show the group his fangs.
Petunia gasped, stumbling back as well as she could with Dudley behind her.
Vernon swallowed. "Well, just what the hell do you want?"
"Simply to speak with Master Potter and inform him of his heritage." Alucard looked down on Vernon, obviously not liking him one bit.
"BOY!!!" Vernon yelled. "Get your skinny arse down here NOW!"
--
Up in the room, Harry jumped, the ink smearing across the parchment. "Bloody hell," he muttered. Quickly, he dabbed the parchment dry and rolled it up, handing it over to Hedwig. "Take this to Dumbledore," he told her as he opened the window, not waiting for her to take off before hurrying towards the door.
"BOY!!!"
"Coming," he called back as he hurried down the stairs, coming to a stop when he saw the vampire. Hadn't he told them not to let him in.
"There he is," Vernon said. "Talk."
Harry blinked at Vernon incredulously.
Alucard nodded to Harry, closing the distance between them he again bowed. "You are the last of not only the Potter line but the Hellsing line as well, and my new master, as Sir Integra Hellsing has passed away."
Harry's gaze turned back to the vampire. "Hellsing? Mas … Look there has to be some mistake, I'm no one's master." Nor did he want to be anyone's master.
"No there is no mistake. It has been discovered that Abraham Van Hellsing had an affair with a witch by the last name of Potter, that woman had a young boy who continued to Potter name all the way down to you. Though yes the blood of the Potter family flows through your veins, so does that of the Hellsings, I can smell it." Alucard looked up to Harry from over the rim of his orange lensed glasses.
Harry blinked, then raised a hand to rub his head. He really had to learn his family tree, who knew what other little surprises awaited for him to find.
"Potter," Vernon growled.
Harry sighed. "This is …. Great and all," though he sounded less than enthused. "But … I … can't keep a vampire. There's no room here for you and … I don't know the first thing about …" he shrugged, looking very much helpless and confused.
Alucard nodded. "That can be easily changed," he ignored the older human man. "I was told by your Headmaster to take you to Hogwarts tonight, that way he might explain things a bit better, you see he has known the Hellsing family for generations, both lines."
Harry blinked. Dumbledore knew? Of course Dumbledore knew, he knew everything. What bothered him was that Dumbledore had known, and hadn't bothered to mention that a Vampire would be stopping by! That was, of course, assuming that the vampire was telling the truth.
"Regardless, if you don't mind, I think I'll wait for confirmation before heading off anywhere." One had to be such when there were people out to kill you.
"Of course, not a problem. Though I will be waiting here until he returns your owl." Alucard moved to the couch and sat, giving the Dursley's a look. Practically daring them to tell him no.
The Dursley's all shared a look.
"Come on Pet, Dudley, we're not going to stay here with … that."
"But, Vernon, the house!"
"Will be fine if you know what's good for you," Vernon growled, glaring at Harry, who blinked in return.
They were leaving? Of course they were leaving. They wouldn't want to be anywhere near him and his 'freakish ways'. Not long later, the three Dursley's were driving away, leaving Harry along with the vampire. Silently, he made his way over to Vernon's chair and sat, pulling his legs up under him.
"So," he said after a moment. "What's your name?"
"My name is Alucard." Alucard's glare that had been centered on Vernon changed as he looked at Harry. "It would seem that these...humans, are not the nicest of people..." He looked around the room, the many pictures of a very large boy sickening him. Not a single picture of him? Not a very caring family either, to think this is what has happened to the last of the noble house of Hellsing.
Harry shrugged. "They could be worse," he said.
And it was true, they could have just left him at an orphanage, or even by the side of the road. They didn't have to take him in … and it was a fact they reminded him of constantly.
Some time later Alucard was standing looking at the many pictures of Dudley. "This boy could feed a whole hoard of vampires. You might want to open the window." He pointed to one, shortly after his words left his mouth, Hedwig came into sight.
Harry followed his finger to the window and jumped from his seat, surprisingly quickly for the position he'd been in, and hurried to the window, opening it before Hedwig got there.
"Hey there girl," he said softly, offering her his arm to land on.
She hooted softly in return, landing and offering him her leg.
"Thanks girl," He retrieved the parchment from it as he made his way back to the chair, shifting her over to the arm of it as he opened the letter.
Harry,
You made a good decision in writing to me before doing anything else. Yes, Alucard is what he says he is, and yes you are the last Hellsing living. The Potter line was a mistake that seems to have turned out well. Please, gather your things together and allow Alucard to escort you to the school
Albus Dumbledore
Alucard looked to Harry, knowing pretty much what the parchment said, waiting for the boys reaction.
Harry glared at the parchment. A mistake that seems to have turned out well? I'm so glad that my problems are good for you.
Carefully, he folded up the parchment and stood, holding his arm down for Hedwig once more. "Looks like we're getting out of here early girl," he said before glancing back up at Alucard. "I wont be long," he said. "Everything important is all in one place."
Nodding Alucard bowed his head and sat on the couch once again.
Like he'd said, it did not take him long to gather his things and shove them into his trunk. After closing it, he grabbed his wand and slipped it up his sleeve.
"I can't believe this," he murmured to himself. "What else don't I know about my own family, huh, Hedwig?"
Hedwig hooted soothingly, gently nipping his finger when he drew near her. He smiled softly, and lifted her once more, placing her on his shoulder as he began dragging the trunk downstairs, carefully making sure that it didn't slip and slide down faster than he was going, squishing him in the process.
Alucard smiled when he saw Harry make his way down the stairs. "Well we should get going, oh and you might want to let your owl fly on her own, our transportation is very different."
Hedwig gave an objecting hoot.
"It's all right, Hedwig," he said, raising a hand to scratch her head. "I'll be fine."
She gave him an uncertain look.
"I can take care of myself you know,"
This time her look was completely unconvinced, causing him to sigh. "Fine, if I die you can lecture me all you want and I will never make you leave my side again, how's that?"
Hedwig gave the owl equivalent of rolling her eyes before allowing Harry to scoot her out a window. He watched a moment before turning back to Alucard.
"So, how are we getting there?"
Taking a few steps over to Harry he grabbed onto Harry's arm while his other hand grabbed one handle to his trunk. Suddenly the two where engulfed in a hoard of bats, only to appear before the Headmaster in his office.
"Master Albus," Alucard stepped back, bowing to the older man.
AN:
Aku: Hey everyone, so yeah this is our Hellsing Harry Potter cross over....obviously. I really like this one, it was fun to right. So what will Harry do? And what does he have to say about all this?
Alla: Oh, poor Harry. So many things kept a secret from him. I wonder how he'll cope with this. *giggles* Anyway, go ahead and review, tell us what you think ^_^
