**********

Silence reigns in the room for a good minute as the atmosphere becomes gloomy.

*Clap-Clap*

I clap my hands with a small smile "Enough about that, what is it you wished to talk to me about?" I direct my question at both Bell and Ollivander.

Ollivander finally meets my eyes "Ah, Belladonna here wanted to tell you about the current vampire situation. Right, Bell?" He asks the distraught vampire.

Her wide eyes meet his small smile and she manages to gather herself a bit. She grabs her broken arm, stretching it so it can heal properly.

She makes a small painful grunt as she looks up at me. "Yes, I wanted to tell you the bounty has been retracted. The dark society took down the bounty saying it was too dangerous. The vampires loyal to the Red Sun have been recalled out of Britain."

My brow raises "You're still here despite being recalled?" I ask curiously.

She scoff "I'm not one of the crazy fanatics. I've been here since the creation of the vampire species. There is nothing special about the King, he just so happens to be stronger than others."

"That's good, I would hate to be your enemy," I say with a sarcastic smile.

She looks up at my smile unamused "They will be back."

I nod "And they will die. So what is the dark society?"

She sighs as my dismissive attitude "It's not an actual organization, it is just the bars and meeting hubs that the dark wizards and evil creatures use. You can get anything in them, from whores to murder to artifacts."

"That's neet, I will have to pay them a visit sometime."

Her face looks a bit disgusted "Are you one of those pureblood elitists?" She asks trying to hide her disgust.

I laugh a bit "Quite the opposite. I believe in equal treatment of all people and magical beings."

She looks a bit surprised "Then why would you want to go to them?"

My smile grows a bit "To get rid of them of course." Through Legilimency I can feel her fear that she tries to hide from her face.

I shift in my seat to get a bit more comfortable "So Ollivander, do you know who has the Elder Wand? Before you mentioned you knew of its existence, does that mean you know where it is?"

He looks at me meeting my eyes seemingly guessing my intentions "Mykew Gregorovitch… He had it, my grandfather envied him to death for it. But it was stolen by Gellert Grindlewald and it has been missing since his defeat."

My eyes widen as things click into place, I rub my chin thinking 'So that is what Dumbledore meant when he said NO ONE was free from temptations grasp.'

I wave it off "Then forget about it,"

Ollivander seems surprised that I know where it went but I am more surprised he doesn't. "Bell, do you have any affiliations?"

She shakes her head "I am but an old woman with ears…"

"Hmm, I am trying to get more people on my side who are not evil, but who are not exactly good either. I think you will fair well in that role, how do you feel about that?" As I finish my words I can feel her heart clench with anxiety.

"Feel free to decline. I only ask because as a vampire you will not be safe when the war starts… from either side." I can feel her tension release a bit.

"I-I would not be opposed to… serving you." I can feel she is quite honest with her words which surprises me.

My brows furrow at her honesty "Why?"

She seems surprised at my question "When you have lived as long as I have and have yet to see everything you quickly realize how terrifying death can be."

I don't need to use Legilimency to hear the fear in her voice "I understand… Do you wish to serve?"

With wide eyes, she nods "I-I do."

I turn to Ollivander with a smile "Is there a spare room we could use quickly?"

Both Ollivander and Bell look surprised at my words, Bell, A VAMPIRE, is even blushing causing me to scowl "Get your minds out of the gutter."

Ollivander pretends to cough "Ah, yes, please use that one." He gestures towards the door across from me behind Belladonna

I stand up and gesture her to follow me, she is still blushing which is making me a bit annoyed. I open the door to find a single bed in a small room with a single window, the only other furniture is a nightstand with a lantern. I look back at Ollivander with an annoyed scowl.

'Are all adults perverts?'

"Get in," I say to Bell who walks past me with her head down as she sits on the bed.

I close the door behind her causing her to flinch a bit. I make sure that Ollivander is not trying to snoop as I cover the walls and floor with my shroud to make sure magic cannot get in. I sigh as I turn around only for my jaw to drop.

Bell is in the process of taking off her robes revealing her curvy body and… bountiful chest.

I hold up a hand "STOP." I say genuinely getting a bit angry.

She looks up at me surprised "Sit down... if you truly wish to be my servant, you will need to know everything. When we exchange letters as master-servant I will be called The Reaper, your title shall be The Progenitor. Other than me you can also contact The First Servant."

"My power is not known to many people, you will be one of the few who knows my true strength. There will be many more in the future, as well as an army."

She covers herself back up as she tries to process this information "Why are you telling me all this without a contract?"

I step closer as I slowly shift into my dementor form 'Because if you betray me, there will be a fate worse than death.' I speak into her head allowing my darkness to run rampant in her mind.

I feel the absolute dread encasing her heart in the small dark room. The light quickly returns to the room as I shift back to human and recall my shroud. I gaze at the terrified vampire as her pale skin seems to warm in the evening sun.

I step closer and place a seeker coin on her limp hand. She seems to snap out of her fears as she looks at me then at the coin.

"It is in case of emergencies only. Do not take my trust lightly." Seeing that she isn't going to respond I continue to give her the basics of what her job will be, basically feeding me information from creatures that Lucius cannot reach. As well as bringing some to my side with the promises of a future of being equals to wizards.

I sigh seeing she is still a bit scared, perhaps I was too hard on her by allowing my darkness to enter her mind. I did the same to Snape but you cannot compare that man to normal wizards and witches.

I nod to Bell "Then I will take my leave first." She nods a tiny bit as affirmation and I step out of the room.

As I open the door I see Ollivander still calmly sipping tea at the table. His eyes move to me giving me a small smile and nod. His gaze falls on the disheveled appearance of Belladonna then back to me with a 'different' gaze.

I shake my head "You're all perverts. I will be taking my leave first, good day Mr. Ollivander."

"Y-yes, you as well Young Master Black." He says with a stuttered voice.

Again I shake my head as I quickly leave back to the Hogs Head. I feel the darkness in my mind lighten as I shake off my annoyance from the situation.

*****

*Bonus Ollivander's POV*

As they left towards the small spare room I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I had never known Bell to be a loose woman. She has been a friend since I was a child but I have never seen her with a man before.

The room went eerily quiet as Young Master Black gave me a scowl before closing the door. Just like that thirty minutes passed in seemingly the blink of an eye. I began to grow worried as I have heard tales of 'Young Masters' thirst. I of course did not peg Young Master Black to be one of those, but it appears I was wrong.

After forty minutes I could hear a bit of talking coming from the room before the door opened only seconds later. Out came a normal-looking Soren bringing a small smile to my face. That is before I get a look at Belladonna.

Her hair is nested, her pale face was even paler than usual, her robes were pulled down just barely covering her chest and pushed up to almost her thighs. She looks absolutely traumatized as her face is stricken with fear.

I look back at Soren's cold face 'This boy is a monster.' I think to myself.

As our eyes meet his face turns sour and he shakes his head "You're all perverts. I will be taking my leave first, good day Mr. Ollivander."

I am baffled by his words 'AREN'T YOU THE PERVERT?!' I yell in my mind but I do not show it out of courtesy.

"Y-yes, you as well Young Master Black," I spoke as clearly as I could in the circumstances.

The ravenous young master disappeared down the stairs shaking his head. Not long after Bell finally stumbles out of the room her legs shaking but her clothes are on properly.

"Bell my dear, are you okay?" I asked as I poured her a cup of tea.

Bell only nodded as she sat down "Yes, he was quite kind actually."

For once I couldn't hide my expression, my jaw dropped as I watched Bell take a big gulp of tea.

'What happened in that room?' I asked myself as I began to question everything.
