They'd woken up in Saint Mongo's under vampire attack, had exhausted themselves far faster than usual, only to be saved by Hellsing. They looked years older then they should, and because all they had on in the hospital were day dresses, they had been given unmarked Hellsing uniforms to wear. They both passed out from exhaustion on their ride on that strange 'helicopter' device, but now that they were awake, and had eaten a superb breakfast, were hoping for some form of explanation.
Slowly, the Butler, Walter, a man whom they could both tell possessed incredible combat ability from his stride and posture, opened the door. Inside sat the Lord Hellsing behind a great oaken desk. He seemed rightfully so to be a man of great power but he was nit intimidating.
"Mister and Misses Longbottom," William stated warmly, "please, take a seat."
They both did as beckoned, sitting on the luxurious leather armchairs that sat before his desk.
"Now, I know you have many questions for me, but I will begin with one for you. I'd like you to humor me… what is the year?"
They looked at one another, and Frank answered, "It’s the year 1981, sir…"
William scowled, not a scowl of anger or disappointment, but one of sadness.
"It is 1991."
They both gasped, in surprise.
"How can we have lost a decade?!" Frank exclaimed.
The Lord Hellsing sighed. "From what little I was able to retrieve from the survivors before we sent them off for debriefing and treatment of injuries, is that ten years ago you were capture by the Death Eaters."
Alice nodded, "Yes, the last thing we remember before waking up in the hospital was Bellatrix Lestrange threatening us with the Cruciatus Curse if we didn't reveal Voldemort's location."
"From what I discovered, she did use it… she tortured you so greatly that you were driven mad by the agony and your minds were destroyed. An insane person makes an insane ghoul, so apparently the Vampire you destroyed regressed your minds back to the very edge of your madness with the intention of transforming you into ghouls. I guess the monstrous creature did not expect to be restoring the faculties of two full trained Aurors…"
They both sank back into their seats in shock until Alice's eyes shot open and she leaned to the forward, "Neville! What happened to Neville? Please, do you know anything about our son?"
" Neville? Neville Longbottom?" William thought out loud before smiling warmly, "Yes, I know of him…"
"Please, tell us what you know?" Frank asked him as he moved his hand to his wife's.
"He is currently attending Hogwarts," William replied, "He is a first year in House Gryffindor and seems to be a kind but forgetful lad with relatively low self esteem."
"How do you know all of that?" Frank replied. He'd been expecting something like a 'he's alive and well', and not a short biography. Not that he was complaining though.
William smiled warmly, even proudly. "I have a very reliable source who keeps me informed about all the goings on in Hogwarts."
"Who would that be?" Alice wondered.
"My daughter, Integra." He replied, "She and Neville are classmates."
Frank blinked in surprise. "Your daughter is a witch?"
William smiled as any proud father should, "Indeed she is, now do you have any more questions?"
"What happened to Voldemort?" Frank asked, "If Bellatrix Lestrange was using to drive us mad with the Cruciatus Curse to get his location, then I would like to know what the hell happened to him?"
"He found the Potters," William replied.
"Oh my god…" Frank muttered.
"James... Lilly…"
"Are dead," William replied, but when he tried to destroy their son his spell backlashed and destroyed him instead."
"What happened to Harry?"
"He's alright," William replied, "In fact beginning this year he will be spending his summers here…"
