“No, no, no absolutely not! Acheron you have no idea what you are asking of me by saying I must take that…that boy into my home.” Severus growled.

“I’m not asking Severus, I’m giving you an order. You are a Dark-Hunter remember your oath.”

“I gave up a lot to save that boy, I did my oath to both Dumbledore and to Lily, I paid my price, and now I am paying another by hunting down these creatures that your mistress and her brother created.” Severus sneered, “this is the most freedom I have had in the last half of my mortal life. Harry Potter has made his name for himself, he is now the Minister of Magic and he is the Chosen One.”

“This is not up for debate Severus, you will go to Harry and you will keep him safe.”

Severus snarled, “Why don’t you make one of the others take over the brat? You brought them here for that have you not?”

Xander sighed, “We each have our assignment Severus. I have taken over as a Professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts to watch over the students as well as key people like a Professor Flitwick and the Headmistress Minerva McGonagall.”

Severus felt himself go cold inside, “Minerva and Filius are in danger?”

Acheron nodded, “I have studied them closely, they are both exceptionally magical individuals and with Minerva’s study to become an animal without having the complications of a Were-Hunter makes her all the more desirable. Filius is a talented man, and the question of his mixed blood it makes us wonder and worry that his blood and soul might cause something dangerous if taken by a Daimon.”

Severus sighed, seeing that he couldn’t win this fight and resigned to his fate. “Alright, who are Squid and Dragon going to look over?”

Acheron smirked, knowing he had won against the Potions Master. “Dragon is assigned to looking over the Weasley Family, each of the children have shown strong magical potential as well as making significant impacts in the world, if a Daimon didn’t consume them then they are at risk of being used by a Daimon. Squid is to take over looking after the Malfoy family.” Acheron stopped when he heard the sound of breaking glass and looked to see Severus growling as he picked pieces of his cup out of his hand. “Severus?”

“You should have said that my godson and his family are in danger Acheron. Draco is my family.”

“That is exactly why I have assigned Squid. I know that Draco is important to you, as well as his wife and children. It would cloud your judgement as a Dark-Hunter and make you lose objective as well as lose sight of the true goal and your oath as a Dark-Hunter. Know that Draco will be safe with Squid and his Squire Carl. You will have constant communication with the other Dark-Hunters as well as their Squires. I want you all to check in with each other on a nightly basis. You will operate primarily in the Wizarding World now, and your current routes are being taken over by some new bloods that we have and you will move locations. Molly and Arthur Weasley have already accepted Dragon and Tyler into their home and are aware of the dangers but not in the depth that it will go. All of the Weasley children have been relocated to the Weasley home, and with some help from myself and a few other Dark-Hunters their home has been changed and fortified. Squid and Carl have already been moved into the Malfoy family home and Draco has accepted our services and help, on the condition he have regular contact with you. Xander and Brynna are both leaving tonight to settle into Hogwarts. Thanks to your squire here each of their technical gadgets have been fixed up and revamped to operate on the magical areas around them to make communication easier for those who have not lived in the Magical world.”

Severus sighed, “So where am I to be assigned.”

“You are to be moved into Minister Potter’s home tomorrow night. Minister Potter will be expecting you and Belladona has already introduced herself and set herself up within his home.”

Severus glared, “Just how long have you been planning this Acheron.”

The Dark-Hunter leader smirked as he leaned back into his chair. “About a month now. I was surprised at how easily your kind accepts the idea of us. It made things very simple. I knew you would have a problem with the fact that you are to babysit Minister Potter so I took the liberty of doing what I do best and setting up my Dark-Hunters where you will be most useful.”

“Meddling bastard.” Severus growled.

Acheron laughed as he stood up and he rolled his shoulders. “Well now that this debriefing is done, we will all leave. Severus you are to report to Minister Potters home at sunset tomorrow night and get yourself settled. Once you are you are to check in with everyone at midnight via Skype and will continue to do that until we can assess the threat and figure out what the Daimons want, what their goals are, and figure out how to stop them.”

Severus sighed, “Do we know anything about the Daimons? Who is leading them here? Or even what brought them here besides my using magic.”

“So far it seems to be curiosity, you were something they had never seen before, a non physical combat type Dark-Hunter, you threw them off with your spells. You are talented in something called Occlumency correct?” Acheron watched the darker man nod, “good, if you could somehow get a Daimon under your custody without killing him or him killing you then I want you to use that. Never forget your main goal is to protect the Minister as well as the many other innocent human lives. You are a Dark-Hunter, remember you oath and remember you offered your soul in exchange for vengeance and you got your revenge.”

Severus sighed. “As you say Acheron, I will keep my eyes and ears open.”

Acheron nodded, “good, now get some sleep. I will check in in a week to see how things are progressing. Remember regular check up with the other Dark-Hunters midnight every night. Good night.” Acheron left and the three other Dark-hunters bid their farewells and left as well leaving Belladona and Severus in their home alone.

Severus sighed again and rubbed his eyes tiredly as he flicked his wand and the curtains closed and the candles all lit casting the room in a soft glow. “Millie.” He called for the elf.

“What can Millie be doing for Master Severus sir?” The elf squeaked.

“We are going to be leaving here, pack up everything that is essential and needed for an assignment from Acheron, put my cauldrons under stasis spells and work with Minister Potter’s elves and-”

“Mister Potter’s house elves have already gotten rooms set up for Master Severus and Mistress Dona sir! A lab and everything for Master Severus’s work being set up in Mister Potter’s basement. Mistress Dona is having Millie move things over there the last week sir.” The elf said proudly.

Severus sighed, “very good Millie, just continue on and have everything we need there by tomorrow night.”

“Yes sir!” She said as she popped away.

“For the record I am sorry. Acheron wouldn’t let me tell you anything, he was worried about what you would do.”

“How long as this been going on Belladona?”

“About two weeks…Ash brought you in at the last possible minute. I tried telling him that you needed to know. But you know the bossman, when he decides something it’s law. I wanted to bad to tell you, I hated going behind your back, especially with how good you have been to me.”

Severus sighed and got up walking to her and wrapping his arms around her shoulders. “It’s alright Belladona. You were doing what you are supposed to do, as much as I hate to say it Acheron was right, if I had brought in earlier I would have fought harder. Acheron did what was right.”

Belladona looked up at him, “are you scared Severus? To see Harry again?”

Severus sighed and laid his cheek on the top of her head, in the last ten years Belladona was able to worm her way into a place that no one could. He had confessed everything to her, ranging from his reasons behind his actions in the War, his love of Lily Potter that turned out to be because he craved a companion who would be a light in the darkness he constantly felt, his passion for Potions and the gateway they offered into new insight and a new understanding, and even his deep emotions over one Harry Potter. He had confessed that he never stopped looking after the boy turned man and now that he was a full grown man he craved him. Severus saw a strength and a light that drew him in, he wanted that light to banish the darkness inside of him. He cursed Belladona for making him wonder and pursue his thoughts and he hugged her tightly. “Yes, I do believe I am scared.”

She laid her hands on his arms around her shoulders and nodded, “I understand. But maybe…maybe this was meant to be. You know the rest of the Squires talk about how the Fates put us in these situations to where we can’t escape. Also that Acheron is just trying his best to give his Hunters something to fight for in this world. Eternity is a long time alone Sev…and I mean he would know, Talon doesn’t call him T-Rex for nothing you know. He only recently found Tory, and she’s been so good for him. Word on the site is that its giving the other Hunters hope, I mean look at it Kryian, Talon, Valarius, hell even psycho ass Zarek found someone. Maybe this is your chance.”

Severus gave a dry laugh, “So optimistic, never lose that sunshine.” He whispered, using the one nickname he had given her, something he would never admit to. “Let’s just do our job and figure out what those soul stealing bastards want.” He kissed her forehead and straightened. “Now I am going to sleep, it has been a long night and sleep sounds better than anything. Wake me up before sunset.”

“I’ll have your tea for you. Good night Sev. And don’t worry we will get through this. Daimons are idiots remember, they always mess up.”

He shook his head and smirked, “you are right, they always do. Hopefully we won’t be away from home to long.”

She watched him walk into his room and the door closed as she looked down at her computer. An IM from Minister Potter stood waiting for her to answer. She sighed and typed out her answer, let the seduction begin. Was all she typed back before closing her computer and going to bed.

Harry Potter smirked at his computer, “Yes!” He punched the air and grinned stupidly, the elusive Potions Master had avoided him at all costs, and now because his world was in danger once more it was bringing the surly man back into his life. “You will be mine Severus, and this time you are not going to be getting away.” He vowed before closing down his computer and heading off to his room, falling into bed to dream about the man who haunted his thoughts and dreams for the last ten years.
