A Not So Quiet Moment ((Cho/Open))

[Alucard Demonata]

Alucard had been reading a book about vampires earlier during the day and conveniently later that night, he had nearly drained his own Defense Against the Dark Arts professor dry. Then he found himself helping her all the way up to the Hospital Wing where he lay her on the closest bed. Alucard didn't really want to stick around but he had the feeling that he should stick around, just in case the nurse suspected it was a vampire bite then he'd be in for it. He'd probably get loads of detention for nearly killing a professor and for lying to her that it was him.

"I'll stay here, professor." Alucard said as he found his way to a nearby chair.

But if he was lucky, the nurse wouldn't think it would be a bite from a creature of the night- and instead, he'd believe Alucard's story. He already had one in mind.

"What could I say, I'm just a very 'lucky' guy." Alucard thought. His week just got better and better.

[Professor Cho Midnight]

_{Cho lay still on her side, her eyes closed and her head pounding. One hand was over her bites - which still stung, the other lay limp by her face. She didn't have a the energy to speak. 'Where's Michael..?' To be honest, she didn't care if he could give her anything to stop the pain, all she wanted was a hug. '...This is worse than a bloody hangover...A bad one too.'}

[Michael Galati]

Michael burst into the Hospital Wing from his office down the hall... "I heard someone coming in here, What's going....?" Michael stopped in his tracks. He looked from Alucard to Cho and back to Alucard.

"What happened?," He demanded to Alucard who was sitting in a chair as he rushed to Cho's side.

[Alucard Demonata]

"I heard someone coming in here, What's going....?"

Alucard looked over at the nurse calmly then looked back at Professor Cho, it seemed clear enough what happened. She got bit on the neck and blood was smeared all over her skin, she seemed exhausted from all the blood loss. Alucard watched as the professor's bed side. She didn't say anything, she probably wasn't a able to talk.

"What happened?,"

"Something attacked her in the forest." Alucard said with no trace of emotion hanging in his voice, as he glared down at Cho's weak body on the bed. The metallic, bitter taste of blood still lingering on his tongue.

[Professor Cho Midnight]

_{Cho grumbled a little, she opened her eyes and weakly smiled. Okay Alucard was there, which she wasn't over pleased at, but her very very bestest friend was there - Michael. She moved her hand from her neck and sighed, blood. Cho tried to push herself up, she sighed as she had to lay back down. "You should be getting to your common room..." She rested her hand on her forehead as she looked to Alucard.}

[Michael Galati]

Before Alucard could move, Michael looked from the bloody neck to Alucard and back to the neck.

Looks like the work of a vampire...Is Alucard on the list in my office of students with powers? ... I can't remember.

Michael pointed his wand at Alucard. "Petrificus Totalus..."

"Cho, dear, Alucard isn't going anywhere for a while... Are you alright?

[Professor Cho Midnight]

_{She tried to make her eyes adjust, the lights made her eyes sting compared to the darkness of the forest. What's wrong with me... She questioned in her mind. "I-I'm fine I just feel dizzy..." Cho replied groggily.}

[Alucard Demonata]

"You should be getting to your common room..."

Alucard look at Professor Cho for a moment, the blood on her neck made his want to just suck the rest of it away, Alucard's eyes fluttered over towards the doors. He was really considering leaving but not at the moment, he wasn't registered as a vampire with the school and there was no way that Alucard was going to tell the Ministry about what he was. After all, vampires were treated just as poorly as werewolves were- although, it would perfectly make sense because Alucard still young and his control over his lust for blood hadn't matured at all.

"It's all right, whether I'm in the Common Room or the Hospital Wing, it's all the same to me." Alucard said coldly then fell silent as he watched Michael the nurse look at the wound, Alucard was sure that the man suspected him.

"Petrificus Totalus..."

Before Alucard could even say something or do anything, he was petrified- his muscles tensed and his body turned almost as hard as stone. Alucard's mind was in tact and could hear the nurse speak, in his paralyzed state.

"Cho, dear, Alucard isn't going anywhere for a while... Are you alright?"

Alucard knew if there was one thing for sure, he was going to basically attack the nurse as soon as the spell worn off or he lifted it.

[Michael Galati]

Michael dressed Cho's wounds as quickly as his nerves would allow, thinking the entire time of what to do.

He's a vampire, I mean, he's gotta be. I can't let him out of my sight, and I really can' t leave her here alone. Damn! What am I going to do? [i/]

It then hit Michael exactly what he needed to do.

Hanschen! He's just recently brewed a batch of vertiserum for the school stores. That'll tell me everything I need to know. But, how to get him up here to administer the potion to the boy...

When he had finished cleaning her up, he gave her a potion to help her sleep. "There, Cho. Drink that, it'll help you rest. You look like hell... It'll help."

Michael turned to the boy when she was out.

"As much as I hate to do this, as it's going to be quite humiliating for you and I don't want to leave a patient unattended. I'm afraid that, because I'm not sure if I can trust you to come with me peacefully, I'm going to have to have you float behind me as we go to see Prof. Gabor.

Michael pulled out his wand and the body rose and floated behind him. When they reached the door to Prof. Gabor's quarters, Michael knocked.

[Alucard Demonata]

Alucard could not believe his own ears, he was going to float behind the school nurse while being taken down to wherever Professor Gabor would be. Alucard was going to make sure that he cut the nurse's head off slowly and filled it up nails and then preform the sort of things muggles did to werewolves in the past. Couldn't he atleast preform the body-bind charm, it would make life a whole lot less embarrassing- although, the nurse probably would have to bare with Alucard spouting insults every second. But the professor was right, he couldn't trust Alucard because Alucard wanted to at least bite his throat out.

Alucard kept running through the most perfectly painful ways to bring harm on the nurse as he hovered behind him all the way down the Professor Gabor's place. Thank God, no one was in the hallway to witness anything, otherwise Alucard would have to make a mental note to kill them in their sleep the next day to prevent word passing through the school.

Finally, they reached the place. Alucard knew what was going to happen, he was going to be forced to drink the truth potion. Like Hell he was going to, he'd have to be retarded if he even let take a step near him. He'd bite their fingers off.

[Michael Galati]

Hanschen opened to door to see Michael who was looking quite cute all stressed out, and a rather vicious looking Slytherin.

"What's occasion for the visit?," he said eyeing the boy who looked as if he would kill someone when he was released from whatever spell he was under.

"Professor Midnight is upstairs in the Hospital Wing with severe blood loss... Likely due to the work of a vampire."

Hanschen looked at the boy. A vampire, eh? Doesn't look the type, but Michael has a knack for knowing people's secrets. He himself hid one for many years... Without speaking, Hanschen opened the door to his room and allowed Michael and the boy access.

"I need some of the vertiserum you have just brewed for the boy," Michael said coldly.

Hanschen protested. "That's unethical, Michael! I had wondered why you had brought him down here! I can't do it Mikey! I can't!"

Michael looked like the worst nightmare of a serial killer. "You will get me the potion Hanschen. My best friend is up there nearly bloodless. Even if this boy did not drain her of her blood, surely he saw who did."

Hanschen nodded. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." He left to get the potion.

Michael looked at the rather evil looking boy. "You're not going to drink this are you? No, I wouldn't suppose you would though. Well, trust me there is another way for this potion to work."

[Alucard Demonata]

The door opened. The two men were talking to each other, Alucard didn't even bother to listen to their babbling, he definitely had better things to do than float around at the doorway. The nurse explained why they were there and Alucard felt like scratching them viciously till they were only a small scrap of skin.

"I need some of the vertiserum you have just brewed for the boy,"

Alucard loved the feeling of how he was being treated like they were ready to pull him into a trial on whether or not he should be chucked into Azkaban for the rest of his life- not. This wasn't happening to him, he kept telling himself but every time, he opened his eyes, he saw Gabor and the nurse. This was Hell. Couldn't they make it easy for him and just expel him or something that didn't require this? Alucard wasn't able to do or say anything.

It wasn't like Professor Cho was dead, and it wasn't like Alucard actually wanted to suck her blood. C'mon, if Alucard was in control of his thirst for blood, it definitely wouldn't be Cho that he'd be after.

"That's unethical, Michael! I had wondered why you had brought him down here! I can't do it Mikey! I can't!"

You go, Gabor!

But... Mikey? Eh!? Who the hell was Mikey? The nurse probably performed some sort of spell that was making Alucard get hallucinations probably.

"You will get me the potion Hanschen. My best friend is up there nearly bloodless. Even if this boy did not drain her of her blood, surely he saw who did."

Professors have friends? Okay, so, maybe the nurse didn't think that Alucard was a vampire but he did suspect him. But forcing him to say something he didn't want, justified everything? Alucard should have just dumped the professor in the Hospital Wing and leave. Something always had to go wrong when Alucard being just a little nice, didn't it?

Alucard felt himself lower, the charms were beginning to wear off. He felt slightly shaken from it, now used to being as still a stick.

"You're not going to drink this are you? No, I wouldn't suppose you would though. Well, trust me there is another way for this potion to work."

Alucard didn't even bother answering, glaring at the nurse, there was no point since he'd be talking as soon as they gave him the potion. Alucard didn't want to stick around, he didn't want to stay with these two- they were too weird, "I'm leaving." Alucard announced, taking a few clumsy steps with his painfully stiff legs.

[Michael Galati]

"Oh, really..."

Hanschen was right there to catch Alucard as he tried to get out of the room. "Oi, where do you think you are going exactly... I may not like the methods, but we still need to know what happened," Hanschen said as he pulled the boy into the room at wand point. "If you do something stupid, like try to run, I'll hex you to next week." Hex him? That's most unlike you. The things you'll do for Michael...

Michael grinned at Hanschen. "You look so cute when you're bossy." Michael said. Hanshcen blushed..."This is hardly the time for flattery," Hanschen replied.

[Alucard Demonata]

"Oi, where do you think you are going exactly... I may not like the methods, but we still need to know what happened,"

"Then why the f*ck don't you ask me?" Alucard said, irritated by the fact that he was levitated down to the most weirdest place on earth. He didn't like being where he was, it had this freaky aura around it. Alucard was pulled back, deeper into the room, he felt like he was drowning.

"If you do something stupid, like try to run, I'll hex you to next week."

Alucard growled, he wasn't scared of being hexed but he didn't like the idea of being disturbed next week. He figured that he might as well go through with all of this crap now.

"You look so cute when you're bossy."

Alucard's eyes widened to the size of watermelons. He was- what? Alucard bit his lip and tried not to vomit all over the floor, did they have to talk this way in front of him? Couldn't they be a bit more quiet about their relationship with each other instead of basically flirting while a student was in the room? It wasn't the fact that they were in love with each other that bothered the Slytherin, it was just that Alucard did not want to see it.

"This is hardly the time for flattery,"

Alucard tried not to smirk but it fought it's way to the surface, "You two might be lovers but could you talk like this when the lights are out and while I am here? I want to get this sh*t over with."

[Michael Galati]

"You two might be lovers but could you talk like this when the lights are out and while I am here? I want to get this sh*t over with."

Michael pointed his wand directly at Alucard's face. "So, spill it then if you're so ready to get this going... What the hell happened to my friend up there? And tell us without making us use the potion."

Hanschen put his arm around Michael's waist and whispered something in Michael's ear.

[Alucard Demonata]

"So, spill it then if you're so ready to get this going... What the hell happened to my friend up there? And tell us without making us use the potion."

Alucard raised his eyebrow as he watched Professor Gabor say something to the nurse while they were a little too close. He stood there silently watching the for a minute, he crossed his arms and said bluntly, arrogance in his voice, "It's kind of clear, isn't?" He looked away for amount as if to let it sink in, "She's got bite marks on her neck, I 'happen' to be around her and bring her up to the Hospital Wing from the forest."

[Michael Galati]

Michael thought for a long time without speaking, reflecting on what Hanschen had whispered to him. Hanschen the entire time, holding him tightly.

'He's a lot like you were, Mikey when you were a schoolboy. It's impulse, he can't help it...'

Impulse or not, he drained my friend of blood. I can't be expected to let him go without punishment. I should tell the headmaster, I should... No, you have to understand where the boy is coming from. He didn't mean to nearly kill his teacher...

Michael sighed and looked at Hanschen and smiled. His eyes went to meet the boy's.

"I've come to a decision... You're free to go. I'll see you in detention on Monday at six in the morning. You'll be cleaning flasks and such for me up in the Hospital Wing... And you'd better bring Cho something nice as a gift. She'll be laid up for a while..." Michael turned on his heel and headed toward Hanschen's bedroom without giving the boy time to reply to him.

Hanschen walked the boy to the end of the hall and left him. "Michael and have a few things to do, now that we can turn off the lights," he said with a wink.

[Alucard Demonata]

"I've come to a decision... You're free to go. I'll see you in detention on Monday at six in the morning. You'll be cleaning flasks and such for me up in the Hospital Wing... And you'd better bring Cho something nice as a gift. She'll be laid up for a while..."

Alucard rolled his eyes, he tried not to look at the nurse or at anything else in the room except for the door. All he wanted was to leave, this was painful enough without having to given a detention where he was foreced to clean things. He didn't even like the idea of being stuck with nurse all morning. Why the morning?

Alucard wasn't sure whether he was happy or surprised that he was finally lead out of the room and to the end of the hallway. Alucard couldn't wait to slip into his warm bed and sleep.

"Michael and have a few things to do, now that we can turn off the lights,"

Did they enjoy torturing him so much? Alucard didn't think he could fall asleep after hearing that. He made his way back to the Slytherin Common Room.
