Harry Potter and Angels of Cruxis


Chapter One: The Invitation

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Tales of Symphonia but I do own several posters of them. Posters which I shall BEAT ROWLING TO DEATH WITH AND STEAL HARRY POTTER FROM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Enjoy.


Albus Dumbledore sat calmly before his guests. One of them, in armor with red hair looked back equally as calmly. "Let me verify this. You want me and my companions to protect this... Harry Potter, while also posing as teachers at your school?" Dumbledore nodded. "Quite correct Mr. Aurion. I assure you; Voldomort is a very powerful foe and may require you to take extreme measures." The platinum haired woman sitting in the center of her companions nodded. "We've defeated the angels of Cruxis and they were supposedly invincible. I'm sure we can handle this... Voldomort did you say?" Dumbledore nodded. "Ah, Ms. Sage you are confident I see. However do not underestimate Voldomort. He has killed many wizards." Dumbledore reached under his desk and took out a box. Inside their were several varieties of sweets. "Fizzing Wizzbee anyone?" The red haired man looked at Dumbledore as though he were mad. "No, thank you Dumbledore." Dumbledore shrugged and put the box away. "So will you take the job?" Raine stood up. "We will need to confer with the rest of our colleagues." Dumbledore nodded. "Of course." The five people rose and began muttering to each other. They went back to their seats. This time the blue haired man spoke. "We accept your gracious offer Dumbledore." Dumbledore clapped his hands together. "Excellent! I expect to see you in four weeks from now!" As the companions were about to leave Dumbledore halted them. "Oh, I was wondering. Perhaps your young wards could accompany you. They could take the place of transfer students and also assist you in your teachings." The companions halted abruptly at the door. "Lloyd, Collete, Genis and Presea come here? I'd prefer it if they didn't. They would draw far too much attention to themselves." Dumbledore nodded. "Well if you think so. I however will ask you if you will let them make the decision." He nodded again. "Good evening to you." As they exited the study Dumbledore walked over to the pensieve. He using his wand, he pulled out a long silver strand of memory from his temple and placed it in the basin. He watched the face of a young woman who felt so radiant that it shone, at the gates of Hogwarts with her three companions and pet. He smiled. Martel...

"Are you serious?" Lloyd was extremely excited at the news his father had brought him. "I'm gonna learn magic! This is great!" Genis nodded. "Yeah. If you don't fall asleep in class like you usually do." "Hey, that's boring stuff! Magic is awesome!" "What are you talking about Lloyd? Raine covered spell casting last week and your snoring almost drowned out her lecture." Lloyd scowled. Collette also appeared excited. "Is it really ok to go Professor Sage?" Raine nodded. "The headmaster has given you special permission to accompany us if you'll agree to help out around the class from time to time." Collete beamed. Lloyd jumped to his feet. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get moving!" Sheena held out a hand to stop Lloyd. "Not so fast! We need to get you supplies first!" Lloyd looked a bit downcast but then brightened up. "Hey Zelos are you going too?" Zelos swiveled in his chair. "Of course! There's bound to be some pretty girls at Hogwarts!" Everyone glared at him. Sheena marched up to him. "Just to be sure you don't go around flirting instead of teaching classes; we're pairing you up with Kratos. He'll make sure you spend more time working than commenting the first girl you see on their looks!" Zelos gave an evil grin. "Speaking of looks, you're looking quite voluptuous today Sheena." Sheena (sweat drops flying everywhere). Lloyd turned around. "Maybe we shouldn't look at this." Kratos nodded. "I heartily agree." Amid the sounds of Zelos's screams in the background the group began conversation. "So where are we goi- Sheena can you cover his mouth or something? We're trying to talk." Sheena, who now has Zelos in a full nelson while simultaneously attempting to stab him with several knives, looked up and nodded. She tied a band around his mouth and went back to work. "As I was saying, where are we going for our supplies?" Raine responded. "We're going to a place called Diagon alley. They have plenty of magical artifacts there." Collette smiled. "When are we leaving?" Kratos looked back at the now crippled and bleeding Zelos. "Well, seeing as Sheena has finished with Zelos, we should be leaving now." Genis began hopping up and down. "So let's get going already." Raine looked over. "Sheena?" Sheena grinned. "Gotcha! Ok everyone. Hold on!" A summoning circle appeared. "I summon you. Come! Sylph!" The three summon spirits appeared. "Take us to the Leaky Cauldron in London!" The spirits focused their energy and the nine companions vanished in a great whirlwind that consumed them.

Far from this, at the Riddle house a snake-faced wizard smiled before the five men before him. "So I can count on you to deliver Mr. Potter and the prophecy to me?" The leader spoke up. "Of course you can. We are the five Grand Cardinals! We lead the Desian forces! Of course you can count on us!" Voldomort flexed his fingers. "I hear they've hired a special team to defend the boy. A team led by Mr. Kratos Aurion and Mr. Lloyd Irving." The one with a mechanical arm spat. "Kratos? That traitor? As soon as I get my hands on him..." The leader stared at him for a moment. "Lloyd Irving is still wanted by us. Our paths seem to intermingle. We will get this boy for you, but only if we may do it however we please." Voldomort smiled. The look of it chilled the Cardinals. "But of course. You may go now." The five rose, bowed, and left the room. Voldomort watched where they had left. Soon, very soon, Harry Potter would be his. And also, the knowledge of how to defeat him as well.
