The New Alliance
It was the just a day after the train ride home when Harry awoke to this. "HARRY POTTER GET DOWN HERE NOW." Uncle Vernon's voice rang threw the house. Harry woke up and pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt and walked down stairs. He was shocked when he entered the room. There in the room was Dumbledore. He was sitting opposite of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. "THIS…this…man is here to take you so get your stuff." Vernon said his face deep purple. Harry looked at Dumbledore and saw him give a small smile. "Hurry up Harry we need to hurry." He said. With that Harry ran up stairs and threw everything in his chest and tugged it down stairs. Dumbledore stood up and grabbed Hedwig's cage and walked him out the door.
"You ready Harry?" he asked once he was outside. "Yes." Harry said dolefully. Dumbledore picked up and old soda handed it to Harry. Harry touched it and with that the left the ground and arrived outside Sirius's old house. They walked in without saying a word to one another. Harry walked in first. The house hadn't changed much from the last time he was here. "Harry could I have a word?" Dumbledore said and lead him into the kitchen. "Harry I know it must be hard but I need for you to do something for me. For the Order." He said. With this Harry looked up and said, "What is it?" he said. "Well you in these times there is a lot of…well there is just a lot of killing and we need help. Your job is to get a team of 7 to 8 people, once you have your team report back. This two are already on the team. Names are Ty; he's an expert in all fields but excels in transfiguration, and this one you should know. Neville, you'll know later why we need him. So once you have your team report to me, like I said before, and I will give you more information." Dumbledore said leaving the table. He handed him a folder with pictures and information on Ty and Neville. "One more thing don't tell molly. She will kill me." Dumbledore said. "Why am I doing this?" Harry asked. "You'll find out later. Now you have a lot of work to do. You better get going." Dumbledore said. "Here is a reusable porkety, say where you need to go and it will take you there." he put an old boot on the table.
"What just happened?" Harry said too himself. He has to this. He doesn't even know what for. "Sirius what am I doing." He said and picked up the folder and looked at the address for Neville. He picked up the porkety and said. "Longbottom residence." He was there in under a second. The sun was still rising as he looked over at it. He knocked on the door. Mrs. Longbottom came to the door. "Hello Harry I've been expecting you. Neville is in the living room he is all ready." She said and let him in. "How did you know?" he asked. "Dumbledore asked first thing this morning." She said and lead the way to Neville. He was putting his cloths back in his chest. It looked like it must of fell over and spilled everywhere. "Hello Harry." He said. "Hello Neville. Need help?" Harry asked picking up some shirts and handing it too him. "Thanks…I'm ready. By grandma." He said and hugged and kissed her good bye. "Do you know why we are doing all of this?" Harry asked Neville. "No, my gran just woke me up and said get ready." Neville answered. "Oh. Ready?" Harry asked picking up the boot and allowing Neville to touch it. Neville nodded and Harry said, "Headquarters." They arrived there. "Wow, what is this place?" Neville asked. "Headquarters of the Order of Phoenix." Harry said. He didn't want to mention Sirius's name. "Well we have one more place to go. Let me see. Holy crap, he is all the way in America. Let me see. In a place called Iowa." Harry said reading about Ty. "You want to come Neville?" Harry asked as he picked up the boot. "Sure."
They both touched the boot and Harry said, "Ty's residence in Iowa." And they arrived in front of an old house on top of a hill. It wind blew dust into there eyes as they walked up to the door. "Not much here is there?" Neville said as he looked around the horizon. There was only one road and another house about a mile or two south of them. "Just farm land and…cows." Harry said as a big cow ran up too them. This scared Neville so much that he fell over and landed in a cow pie. Harry couldn't help but laugh. The cow continued to sniff Neville as he sat there in the cow pie. "Get out of here you." Came a voice from behind Harry spun around. "Were here…" "Not you I know why you are here I'm talking to the cow." Ty said. He walked over and picked up Neville. "Well the name's Ty. And I'll do all that I can." Ty said. Ty had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He was shorter than Harry by and inch or two. He wore an old cowboy hat and was had cowboy boots on. And he was Harry's age. "Ready." Ty said as he picked up his small bag of cloths. "Don't need much do you?" Harry said looking at the bag. "I have a spell on it to make it seem smaller and lighter than it really is. I have plenty of stuff in here." He said. They picked up the boot and Harry said, "Headquarters." And they arrived there.
"Nice place." Ty said and walked around. "I will show you to your room." Harry said and the two up the steps. "Ty you can share this one with Neville." He said pointing to the old room that he and Ron shared last year. "Thanks, which bed do you want Neville?" Ty asked. "I'll have this one." Neville said and took the bed next the fire. "Come down once you guys are settled in." Harry said and walked down the stairs. "Hello Harry." Said a voice from the bottom of the stair way. "Ron?" Harry asked. "Not just Ron but us too." Said another voice. "Hermione?" Harry asked walking down the stairs. "And me too." "Ginny, what are you guys doing here?" Harry asked. As he came down. He was embraced with a hug from Hermione. "Well we heard about Dumbledore's plan and thought that we could join." Ron said. "Well I do need 7 to 8 people. Lets see, Neville, Ty…" Harry started but was cut off. "Who's Ty?" Ginny asked. "Tell you later Ty, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and me. We need one more." Harry finished. "Who?" Harry asked. "Dean?" Ginny said. "NO!" Ron said. "I know Luna. She was with use last year." Ginny said. "Well we need to contact her. She is in Sweden." Harry said. "I will." Ginny said. "I'll need to borrow Hedwig." She said. And ran up stairs.
After about 5 minutes she returned red faced and smiling. "What's so funny?" Ron asked. "Nothing Ron." "Hermione he's here." Ginny said. "Who is here?" Ron said. "NOBODY RON." The two girls said at the same time. "He is what did he say?" Hermione said as the two girls huddled in the corner whispering back and forth. "What are you girls talking about who is here? Harry who is here?" Ron said. "Just Neville and Ty." Harry answered. Just then Ty and Neville walked in the room. "Hello everyone." Ty said and sat down. "Who are you?" Ron asked. "Ty, and you are?" he asked. "Ron." They shook hands. And sat opposite of one another. Hermione walked and sat between Neville and Ginny. "Wow what's your name?" Ty asked indicating to Hermione. "Hermione, nice to meet you." She said politely. She crossed glanced with Ginny and rolled her eyes. "Well a letter was sent to the seventh person so as soon as we hear from her we can go to Dumbledore." Harry said. Just then there was a knock on the door. And Dumbledore walked in with Luna. "Is this the group?" he asked. "Yep." Harry said.
"Well I'll keep this short. " he started. "You are a special team that is sent to capture death eaters that cause major threats. Your first assignment is this man." He showed them a picture of a man. He had long greasy hair on the edges of his head and bald on top. He was wearing a large coat made of different animal skin. His face was deeply scared, and he had a small twitching eye. "Your first assignment is to find him, his name is Vex Hovia, using his apprentice. He will be at an annual Ball for this count who we also need information on. We don't even know his name. All we have is this picture. Your job is to get in and get all the information from his office as possible. Then you must get back to the dance and capture Vex's apprentice. Get all the information you can and report back here. The dance is tonight so get ready. Girls you will need these dresses. And boys…good luck finding something." Dumbledore said. "Oh and Harry don't use your porkety use this one." Dumbledore said and flipped him a large coin. "Right, and what time do we leave?" Harry asked. "7:00, bye." Dumbledore said and left.
Harry walked up stairs and ran into Neville and Ginny. They were snogging in the hall way. "Sorry. Let me pass." Harry said with a grin on his face. "Harry you tell Ron I'll kill you." Ginny said before going back down the stairs with Neville. Neville just smiled and followed. Harry finally made it to his room and found another surprise. Luna. She was wearing the dress that Dumbledore dropped off. "How do I look." She asked. Harry was dumbstruck. She was beautiful. "Great." He said with a crackled voice. "Thanks. Are you scared. I mean just having to do this on the spur of the moment." Luna said. "Well, it is kind of heavy. But we have got to do what we've got to do." Harry said. Luna moved closer. "Still I'm scared." She said. Harry moved up to her and grabbed her hand. "I wont let anything happen to you, that's a promise." Harry said. Luna looked up at him. She leaned in and kissed him. "WHAT WAS THAT?" Harry asked looking shocked. "Well that was a kiss." She said looking extremely embarrassed. "No this is a kiss." He said and leaned in and kissed her. They didn't break apart until Ginny knocked on the door to tell them that they were ready. "Oh sorry." She said suppressing a giggle.
Harry and Luna came down her arm locked in with his. Ty, Neville, and Ron all had there dress robes on. Ty's was a deep blue made of silk. "Are we having dates?" Ron asked. "Yes." Harry answered. "Yeah try to split up evenly. Ty sorry, your on your own." Ron said as he grabbed Hermione. "For now." He said and opened the door for everyone. Harry pulled out the porkety and held it out to everyone. "Ready." He said and they were tugged to the front of a huge mansion. It had stained glassed windows covering the whole front of the mansion with marble columns surrounding it. Harry walked up and approached the doors. He opened one of them to allow Luna to walk in. Ron opened the door and walked in followed by Hermione who looked flustered. Ty walked in last. The room was full of people. Young and old, all dancing to ball room music. "Harry there." Ty said and motioned towards the stair case going up to the other rooms. "Right I need a distraction." Harry said. "Allow me, may I have this dance." Ty said and took off his cowboy hat and bowed to Hermione. "Yes you may." She said and slid away from Ron and was guided to the dance floor by Ty.
They walked right into the middle. "What is she doing?" Ron said fuming. "Easy Ron, it's just for a distraction." Ginny said holding on to Neville's arm. Hermione turned to Ty. Ty bowed again as Hermione smiled. Ty placed his hat back on and grabbed Hermione's left hand and grabbed her waist with his right. "Just follow my lead." He whispered to her. "Fine." She said. Ty started to dance with her. They moved gracefully around the room. They were so majestic that people started to stop dancing and watch. They manage to clear everyone off of the dance floor and soon it was just the two of them with everyone else on looking. "Now's are chance." Harry said and ran up stairs followed by Ron, Ginny Neville, and Luna. "In here." Harry said and opened a door. There were in a large room with books everywhere. And in the middle of the room was a desk. Harry went up to the desk and grabbed three folders. One was on this land and the count. The other two was on the death eaters and Vex.
"Now to do the second part of our plan." Harry said and lead the way out. They made it down in time to see the last part of the dance. As Ty dipped Hermione and pulled her back up and applause broke threw the room. "Hermione, you can let go now." Ty said as he let her go. "Oh…sorry." She said sliding her arms from around her neck. "I don't mind." He said. She rolled her eye's and walked over to the group. "Did you get it?" she asked them. "Yes." Harry said. "Now where is his apprentice?" Harry said. "He is over there dancing with that Red head." Hermione said. "We bumped into him." She said. "Well we shouldn't send the whole group lets just send two people. Neville and Ginny go." Harry said. He watched Neville and Ginny walk over to the man and cause him to go out side with them. Harry and the others followed. "Now what dose the ministry want?" he said as they got out side. Neville pulled out his wand and pointed it to his chest. Harry came out and faced him. "Now you are going to tell me some information on Vex." Harry said. "Why?" the man said. "Well if you don't we will kill you." Harry said. He two pulled out his wand. "No." the man said. "Fine Hermione give it to me." Harry said holding out his hands. Hermione pulled out a small bottle of truth serum. "No, don't…" The man said as Harry pored two drops down his mouth. "Now tell me." "He is in western England. He is planning something that I don't even know of. He only contacts me threw owls. I have no idea of what else he is doing." He said and started to cry. "He will kill me." He said. "Too bad." Harry said. "Stupify." He said. The man fell on the floor as Harry turned and walked away.
"Common one more dance." Ty said too the group. "No we have to go." Harry said. "Fine." Ty said and followed the group. Harry pulled out he porkety and said, "Headquarters." And they appeared in front of the house. Harry walked in and threw the folders on the table. And turned and saw the group. "Well good job and well were done for today. Get some sleep." Harry said. "Ty can I speak with you?" Ron said and pulled him off to the side. "Listen stay away from Hermione." Ron said as he faced Ty. "Why." Ty asked. "WELL BECAUSE SHE'S MINE." Ron bellowed. "Ok." Is all that Ty could say. Hermione just turned and ran up stairs. "Men." Ginny said and pulled Neville out of the room up stairs. Ty turned to Luna and Harry and said, "Night." And walked up the stairs. "SHE AND NE…"Ron began looking at the place that Ginny and Neville stood moments before but he was cut off by Harry and Luna. "Yes." They both said. "I have to go to bed. Maybe this all one bad dream." Ron said and walked off to go to his room across the hall. "I hope this isn't a bad dream." Luna said. "Why?" Harry said. She smiled and said, "Because of this…" and she leaned in and kissed him. "Goodnight Harry." She said and walked off. "Night." Harry walked up to his room and went to his bed. "What a day." He said to him self.
Harry woke up and walked down the stairs really early. "Good morning Harry." Dumbledore said. Harry was shocked to see him but nodded. "This is very good information. What did the apprentice say." Dumbledore said sipping some tea and reading the papers in the folder. "Well not much. He said that vex is up to something and he is in west London." Harry said sitting across from him. "Well at least we have a location. Now as soon as you and your team is ready I want you guys to follow the count. He is going on a trip to Ireland. He is leaving today at noon. Now your job is to see where he is going. According to this paper you stole he is to go to an old pub called The Silly Goat. Go there and see who he meets. Then come home. If you get in trouble…I think you handled yourselves well enough in the department of mysteries." And with that he left. "Right, now I need a plan." Harry said to him self. "I could help." A voice said from behind him. Harry turned and saw Ty walking down stairs. "Where we going?" he asked as he sat in the seat that Dumbledore was just in.
"Ireland. Listen when summer is over are you going to school with use?" Harry asked. "Yeah Dumbledore sat in my parents living room for two hours trying to convince them to let me go over to Hogwarts. They finally said yes and I got to come here." He said pouring himself some coffee. Harry looked down and noticed a picture that was scattered on the table. It was Wormtail. He was with the count. "Do you know him or something?" Ty asked as he saw Harry stare at the picture. "He…Tuned in my parents…to lord Voldemort." Harry said looking up at Ty. "Oh. So I guess revenge is on the menu today too." Ty said. "Listen, Ty, this is none of your business." Harry said. "Well it is now. And I'll help you find him." Ty said. "Fine." Harry said. "Now you need a plan." Ty said as he took a sip of his coffee. They took up most of the morning making a plan. Using two scouts to go into the pub and three look outs and two more as cover for the other two in the pub they had it all figured out. Once everyone came down from down stairs Harry stood up and said, "Listen we have another assignment. Just gathering information on the count's friend in Ireland. We have a good plan. Me and Luna walk in and sit in the nearest seat to the count. Then two more will go in and cover me and Luna. Just incase. And the rest will be look outs outside. Now who wants to cover me and Luna in the pub?" Harry asked. "I will." Ty said. "Me too." Said Hermione as she blushed feverishly at she just done. Ron turned to her and said, "What are you doing her…" "Now the rest of you are to be stationed out side. And if you see anyone suspicions gives us the sign. The sign is for one of you guys to walk in. now are we ready?" Harry asked. "Yes." Everyone replied. "Good. Now we leave in two hours." Harry said and turned to the table and continued to look at the documents. Ginny and Hermione sat at the end of the table whispering to one another. Neville slid down to Harry and Ty. "Hey guys." He said and grabbed an apple from the fruit basket in front of them. "Hey." Harry said. "What are the talking about." Harry said looking down at the girls. "I don't know. Guys or something." Neville answered. "Go find out." Ron said. He moved to Harry's other side. "Ok." Neville said and walked down there next to Ginny. "IF SHE KIS…"Ron started but it already happened. "Wonder what they are saying?" Harry said looking down there as Luna sat down next to Hermione. Ty got up and yawned. "Well I got to go and change." He said and walked up stairs. As he passed the girls Hermione rolled her eyes as the other girls giggled. Neville came back and just shrugged. "They think that Hermione has a thing for Ty but she say she doesn't. that's all." He said. "Well that is great news." Ron said and walked up to the room smiling.
They were all changed and ready when it was time to go. "Ok... Ireland." He said to the porkety and they were sent to some farm in Ireland. "Sorry, The Silly Goat." Harry said and they arrived in front of an old pub. "Spread out." Harry said. As he and Luna walked into the pub. It was full of witches and wizards. Luna and Harry moved to the bar and got there drinks. "Over there." Luna said and pointed to an booth behind the count. They moved threw the crowed and sat down. Hermione and Ty entered moments later and sat at the bar. "Now…documents were taken from me last night. They didn't get these though. You need to get them to Lord Vex as soon as possible. Now I will leave you to your drinks." The count said and turned and walked out. Harry looked over Luna's head and saw an older man taking the documents. "Excuse me for a moment Luna." Harry said and made his way over to Ty and Hermione. "Listen follow that man over in the booth me and Luna will get the count. Oh and you will need to take the documents he has so stun him and get them." Harry said and walked back to Luna. "Lets go." He said and they walked out of the pub.
The count made his way to an down the street apprated. "Crap." Harry said and steered Luna over to a bench where Ginny was sitting. "Well he's gone. But Hermione and Ty are following the other one." Harry said and Ginny went to tell Neville and Ron who were acting like they were waiting for the knight bus. The old man walked out and moments later Hermione and Ty were behind him. Ty walked up real close and touched his back with his wand and knocked him out. The old man fell into his arms and he dragged him into the ally way. They came out and walked over to Harry and Luna. "Ready." Hermione said and smiled up at Ty. Her arm was locked in with his. "You know Ron is going to kill you." Harry said. "Well were just acting. Plus Hermione finds me repulsive." Ty said as he looked down at her. "But I don't think that is entirely true." He said and winked at her. She rolled her eyes and looked the other way. Harry could tell that she was suppressing a smile. Luna smiled and looked at Harry, she knew too. "Were ready." Ron said not looking at anyone. "Ok." Harry said getting up and pulling out the porkety. "Headquarters." And they were back home. "So what did he have?" Harry asked Ty and Hermione. "Well he had this parchment and this hole role of parchment. That's all." Ty said handing it to them.
"Good. Better let Dumbledore look at it first. He should be here anytime." Harry said and placed the parchments on the table. "Well were done for now." Harry said, "Ok." Ginny said, "Common." She said pulling on Neville's arm. "Hermione you can let go now." Ty whispered to Hermione. "Oh…Right." She said. She slid her arm out from his and walked over to the table. Luna went over to her and started to talk to her. "So what do you want to do?" Ty asked Ron and Harry. "Don't know rest I'm still tired." Harry said. "Ok. What about you, you want to play chess?" Ty asked Ron. Ron just looked at him and walked away. "So…is he normally this nice?" Ty asked. Harry laughed. "No, he's jealous." Harry said. "Oh…Well I guess I'll just hang out here then." Ty said and sat at the end of the table next to the girls. As Harry walked up stairs the door opened and Dumbledore came in.
"Hello Harry what did you find out?" he asked. Harry turned around and walked him into the kitchen. "We pulled these off of a person who was so post to give these to Vex. We didn't read them. We waited till you got here to do it." Harry said. Dumbledore picked up the roll and opened it. "My my. These are plans of attack on the ministry. They were hoping to get in and take over. Nice job." Dumbledore said gathering the roll and the other information. "Now your job is done for now. Rest and play. Go to the burrow." Dumbledore said.
"I think we will." Harry said. And he ran up stairs to tell everyone. Harry returned with his chest. He looked over and saw that everyone else was already ready. "Ok, The Burrow." Harry said to his porkety and they arrived in front of Ron's house. "Author the kids are here." Mrs. Weasley yelled and ran down to greet them. "Ohhh it's so good to see you again. Hermione, Harry, Neville, and who are you?" she asked Ty. "Oh, I'm Ty." He said. "I'm joining Hogwarts this year." He finished as he shook her hand. "Oh, well welcome to the Weasley family." She said and lead them to the living room.
They spent the rest of the day there when they had to return to headquarters. When they arrived everyone just went to bed. Harry walked down really early the next morning. He had another hunting dream of Sirius dieing in slow motion right in front of him. He walked down the steps and into the kitchen to see Luna walking around in her night dress and making some coffee. "Good morning." Luna said to him when he walked in. "Good morning." He said and sat at the end of the table. She moved down and sat next to him. "So." She said and looked him in the eye. "So…what?" he said smiling. "Nothing." She said and took a sip of her coffee. "Luna, what is it?" Harry asked. "Well don't you think this stuff were doing is dangerous. I mean, were not even adults and were doing adult stuff." She said. "Listen, I know how corny this is but I wont let anything happen to you." Harry said and leaned in and kissed her. Just then the door opened into the kitchen.
Dumbledore walked in and said, "Oh, sorry to intrude but we have a to work to day." Harry very slowly pulled away from Luna and turned to Dumbledore. "Ok, what is it today?" he said a little upset that he barged in on them. "Well, this is a capture mission. You will leave when ever and attack and grab the counts house and the count himself. As soon as you have that done you contact me threw this." He handed Harry a mirror. "I know how it works." Harry said before Dumbledore could tell him how to use it. Harry then placed it in his pocket. "Well when ever you are ready. Just remember that he has been in contact with death eaters so don't expect it to be easy." Dumbledore said. "Dumbledore why are you letting me go out on these missions like this, I mean last year you didn't want me to even walk alone. What's the deal?" Harry asked. "Well, in these times…the people need help. That's what you and your team are. This isn't the first time that I had to use kids from my school to help me. They usually call themselves The League. I know simple, yet powerful. So in this time I called this League back with new people. Each person that you chose has a specific talent. Your job is to find it. Then help them use it. Once you do that there is nothing you can't do." Dumbledore said. "Oh bye the way, your father and mother were in The League. Just thought you should know. Ask Lupin about it some time. He was there." And he left.
"Harry dose this mean that we are in the League?" Luna asked. "I guess so. Better tell the others so they know." Harry said. "Now where were we." Luna said and turned his head towards hers. But before they could Neville and Ginny walked in, "Oh sorry." They said. "It's ok." Luna said. "Hey we have something to tell you." Harry said to them. "Oh no, I knew it. She's pregnant." Ginny said. "What? No. It's something different." Harry said and went into the story that Dumbledore said. "Wow, so we're doing this for a reason, not just Dumbledore's." Neville said.
