Change of Location

After walking past the arch Kai watched the hustle and bustle throughout the main street of Diagon Alley. He moved past the more famous places such as Flourish and Blotts, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions and Olivanders. He reached the Ministry of magic and entered the enormous building, specifically the lobby. It was filled with many wizards and witches that rushed to their own appointments.

Kai with his muggle clothing and eye-catching handsome looks stood out among the crowd and drew the attention of many of the wizarding folk in the lobby. After scanning the whole ministry and not finding any signs of the interviews to become a professor, he walked up to the main counter where a petite witch with average looks sat. The moment that she saw him she looked at him hungrily with lust and attraction clearly showing in her eyes.

The vampire lord stared at her with his crimson eyes and asked her in a domineering tone "Where are the Hogwarts interviews taking place?" She continued to look at the vampire lord blankly. Kai understood that she was still entranced with his good looks and sighed.

When he had first imagined being a devilishly handsome vampire, he thought it would be cool and feel amazing. But as he experienced the troubles that came with his good looks, he felt that it wasn't worth the disadvantages that came with his appearance.

He was so used to meeting transcendents that were also beautiful physically and no longer cared about physical appearances, that he had forgotten about the rest of the normal population.

This annoyed him greatly and caused him to frown in disgust at the shallowness of mortals but stopped thinking about it as he was still on a limited timetable. Today he still had to visit the fake blood lord that had stolen his identity after finishing the interview.

He snapped his fingers creating a loud noise causing the ogling witch to wake up from her fantasy. "W-what sir, what did you say?" She was still partially daydreaming, so she forgot her manners.

"Listen up," the vampire lord said imposingly and in a no-nonsense voice. "Where is the interview for the care of magical beasts position taking place?"

"I…It is… taking place in Hogwarts sir," she stuttered picking up Kai's annoyance and her instincts warning her that the being in front of her shouldn't be bothered.

'So they post in the paper that it is taking place here in the ministry when it ends up being in the school itself. So troublesome' Kai thought in a way that would make Shikamaru Nara proud (Naruto reference).

He growled in frustration and with a sweep of his overcoat he left the lobby. Bob was still on his shoulder and laughed hysterically at Kai's bad luck. "Ha-ha, I can't believe that we drove all over Britain and we were so close to the original location."

Kai pushed the laughing cat shaped monster off his shoulder with an increasing amount of annoyance. After leaving the Alley he re-entered the leaky cauldron and walked towards the bar's counter.

He saw that there wasn't any floo powder there (floo powder is a substance that wizards throw in the fireplace and lets them teleport to their objective) so he turned to the next best place- the fireplace. There he checked the mantle and saw a small bag filled with a glittery sand-like substance. He recognized it immediately, took a hand full and threw it into the fireplace.

"Hogwarts!" The vampire lord shouted. He then disappeared with Bob still on his shoulder. Both vampires were used to much faster speeds so the floo network didn't bother them all that much.

The two found themselves ejected from a fireplace that and saw a rather interesting room. It was an office, that much was obvious. The room was bare apart from the lone table in the middle of the room along with the bed frame in the corner of the room. On the wall there were the letters DADA carved in deeply.

As they looked around the plain office, Kai easily recognized that the surroundings as the defence against the dark arts office.

This would be where Umbridge would be staying for the moment. "Say Bob…" the vampire lord drawled, "why do you think that we appeared in the defence office of all places?"

Bob looked at Kai with a disbelieving glance and said, "Out of all of the things you could say when you step into Hogwarts this is what you ask?"

"Yeah, so answer the damn question."

"Fine if you really want me to" the cat said with amusement. "I think it is due to the defence classroom being open publicly to floo powder. At least that's my assumption."

As they walked out Kai walked through the hallways and spread out his [Mind's Eye.] He was currently on the third floor and walked down the moving staircases. The staircase suddenly moved just as Kai stepped forward and caused him to fall down through the gap in the staircase. He could have stopped himself from falling but thought that it would be more efficient to simply fall to the ground floor instead of the pointless descent.

He was prepared to use his owl wings to float down but quickly discovered that he couldn't do so, something was interfering with his transformation. Instead, he used his blood energy to cast a slowing charm on himself and let himself drop down slowly.

There was something wrong with his innate abilities and he would have to study the changes in his soul to understand exactly what was happening. After landing he made it to the great hall, it was recognizable by the large 10-metre high oak doors stood.

There at the end of the hall, a tall white-haired and long bearded man dressed in a "unique" set of robes sat at the long table. He was wearing half-moon spectacles and had a twinkle in his eye, Kai instantly knew that the elderly wizard was Dumbledore.

Next to him was a man with a gloomy aura. He had shoulder length greasy hair, a crooked nose and large black robes that resembled the wings of a bat. When the vampire lord saw him, he almost let his jaw drop in surprise and understood why the students all thought that Snape was a vampire.

Kai wasn't surprised at the fact that the potions master was standing so close to Dumbledore, to the point that he resembled his shadow. But was still comical in his opinion that the spy appeared more like a stereotypical vampire than the actual vampire progenitor in the room.

While the blood lord walked down the main aisle of the great hall, he spoke to Bob mentally using his familiar bond. 'Don't you think that Snape appears to be more of a vampire than me?' Kai asked while barely stopping himself from smiling, in his eyes, there were clear flickers of amusement. The only reason that the headmaster and the potions master didn't see it was because of the large distance separating them from one another.

'Of course… it is' Bob managed to respond through his loud laughs that were heard only by Kai. To Dumbledore and Snape, it appeared that while Kai walked towards them his cat started to have a seizure. Its body started trembling and his mouth opened and closed without any sound coming out.

Kai noticed that there was a sign in the corner of the hall, right next to the room where the vampire lord assumed had held the wand weighing during the Triwizard tournament. That was where the interview was going to take place and currently, he sensed that there was somebody inside the room.

As he neared the table he admired the enchantments done to the hall to make it appear so beautiful. The books and the movies didn't do the hall justice, it was truly enormous to the point that a tribe of giants could build a home and have plenty of room. The ceiling had a special spell that caused it to reflect the weather and time of day that was outside.

He neared the table for professors and stopped.

Another chapter will come out in another few hours.

Merry Christmas.
