Inside the great hall walked a devilishly handsome man who appeared in his early 20s. He wore a red leather overcoat and had a grey cat lying on his shoulder, its tail moving slowly and hypnotically.

They were Kai and Bob who were walking towards the front of the hall where Dumbledore and Snape stood, both were carefully appraising him. Kai understood that the two were examining his godlike appearance and attempting to gauge his magical power and strength.

They obviously wouldn't be able to see his full capabilities, Snape wouldn't at all. But Dumbledore, on the other hand, was classified as a Lord class transcendent and he would be able to pick up a sliver of the aura that Kai was giving out.

As the vampire progenitor came closer, Dumbledore subconsciously tensed for a moment before Kai hid his aura and replaced it with that matching an unspeakable (a wizard version of MI6 or the CIA). Something he had got to know during his magical training when he escorted Tom to the Ministry and the ICW under the guise of a bodyguard.

Dumbledore blinked in confusion before stabilizing himself if Kai didn't have his supernatural senses he wouldn't have noticed at all. Dumbledore's actions all took place in less than a second and Snape didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

While the Potions master was indeed an efficient dueller and wizard, ever since Lord Voldemort's death he had stopped training as hard and keeping his abilities. But even at his peak, he wouldn't have been able to detect anything as he was still a mortal, the highest class that he could get from Kai was that of a B+ rating.

As Kai walked up to the headmaster, he told Bob 'Alright time to turn on my cold no-nonsense face.'

'Yeah yeah' Bob said dismissively, 'we both know that your acting is terrible.'

'Is that how it is? I bet you that my acting will be better than yours' Kai replied in a colder voice, he was already adapting to his role of a top executive in the Court.

(Not that he wasn't but Kai didn't like to meddle in the Court's internal workings, instead he would do whatever he needed and if he needed the Court he would contact Tom).

As he reached the two members of the staff he noticed that Albus was opening his mouth and waited for him to speak. "Hello, young man I assume that you are here to take the Defence against the Dark arts position?" The silver-bearded man asked the man in front of him good-heartedly.

"No" Kai replied coldly and continued "I'm here to get the Care of magical beasts position."

"Oh," Dumbledore said with mild surprise. He wanted to continue speaking but Snape butted in with his terrible attitude.

"You look like you just left school, why don't you first gain some experience, become a magi-zoologist, amass a fine reputation and then return. In Hogwarts, we only accept the best and elite in each of the respective fields taught in this establishment."

"Now, now Severus. No need to be so harsh, let's not be too hasty in our assumptions. This young man in front of us may very well be an expert in his field." Dumbledore said to his spy. Kai noticed that the headmaster hadn't actually tried to correct him and the vampire lord could sense the scepticism hidden in the elder man's voice. "What is your name Mr?" he asked the vampire.

"My name is Kai Darcone." The vampire lord turned to Snape, "from what I have heard from the previous teachers here there haven't been any good rumours in the past few years. One was a fanatic that followed the blood lord, another was a fraud. The third was a werewolf that almost attacked his students and the fourth was a vampire working for the blood lord and managed to put Harry Potter in harm's way and brought him in front of the blood lord.

I've also heard numerous reports from disgruntled teachers that the previous care for magical creatures professor, caused much danger to the students as well as didn't teach them the required material for their OWLs and NEWTs. So far you have convinced me of your stunning reputation.

And finally, we have you, Severus Snape, the youngest potions master of the century. Since you have begun teaching here there have been less and less Aurors being trained in the ministry due to you failing the students here. The reason why the ministry still hasn't wiped out the blood lord's forces is because of you and your teaching methods. I suggest that you keep brewing your potions and stop your terrible teaching."

Snape's face was becoming more and more unsightly as Kai brought up more and more of the terrible teachers that had taught in the past years and his own failures. "The only reason that I am here-" the vampire lord continued "is because of the fact that I want the future of the magical world to actually filled with competent wizards that have finished their education. The level that this school has taught so far is unacceptable and that is why the Court has decided to send me to teach here."

"The Court" Dumbledore repeated. "Do you mean the Dark Lords' Court?"

"Indeed I do" The blood lord replied.

"Is that so" the headmaster's eyes twinkled behind his half-moon spectacles. "So if you don't mind me asking what species exactly are you, it is quite obvious that you are not human?"

"In fact, I do mind so, until it is confirmed I have received the position I will not give away my personal information to you," Kai said bluntly, destroying Dumbledore's attempt to subtly fish for information. His eyes stopped twinkling and Kai could feel that the man was getting upset.

Snape was getting close to snapping and pulling out his wand. "Listen here, creature! Hogwarts is known for its teaching abilities and it will continue being the best magical academy in the world. We don't need your dark organization coming in here and insulting these halls with your slander. You may hide what your organization is, but we the wizard kind know exactly what you are!" The greasy haired wizards spat.

"You are threatening and insulting a member of the Court, not to mention that I am a diplomatic representative of the same organization that can wage war over your country. The only reason we do not is because we are not mindless trigger happy fools like you."

Snape was about to cast a spell in retaliation to Kai's words when Dumbledore stopped him. "I ask you not to threaten my staff or we will have to exchange some rather uncomfortable words" The headmaster didn't know how high Kai's position was in the Court but he assumed that his reputation as the greatest wizard who lived would intimidate the vampire lord standing in front him.

Instead, Kai was unimpressed and Dumbledore sensed it. The vampire looked at Dumbledore with hidden glee. He had been waiting for the elderly man to give him an excuse to insult him. "Did you just threaten me, headmaster? Listen, as I am still not part of your staff, I am currently an acting member of the Court and a 10-star combatant.

Therefore if you attack me, I can order a squad to come and arrest you on the grounds of assault on a diplomat. If you want to order me around then you should wait until I become a professor here."

Dumbledore paled significantly and thought of the consequences of his threat. The Court was a massive organization that could defeat an army of dragons and vampires without many troubles. The ministry would have to heed the Court's demands and they couldn't defend Dumbledore, nor would Fudge want to. He had always seen Dumbledore as a threat.

Just as Snape wanted to retort to Kai's threat the door opened and Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank walked out. She was an elderly witch that would have been the Care of magical beasts professor had Kai not been there.

The vampire lord walked towards the room and the moment his back turned to the duo of Hogwarts staff, he smirked happily. While he couldn't attack or injure Dumbledore, he could insult him and attack his reputation while the headmaster couldn't do the same to Kai.

'That was fun' Kai said to his familiar. 'It was, wasn't it' that cat replied while thinking of the results of the vampire's actions. It would probably cause Dumbledore to call Kai a member of the blood lord's army and thus cause his impression of Kai to be terrible, thus making his work much harder.

But he wouldn't blow his bubble for the moment, instead, he would let him enjoy his short victory over Dumbledore.
