Chapter 1 Beginning
"Let's rest here." Lelouch said, looking around at the scenery. Lelouch was sadly exiled by his father, the 98th Britannian Emperor, Charles zi Britannia. He was exiled with his sister, Nunally. She was 11 while he was 12. They were traveling with Suzaku Kururugi, a Japanese friend they had made after their father sent them as political prisoners.
"Alright." Suzaku said, weary from their travels. Suzaku had killed his father, but no one here said anything about because Suzaku was still horrified from the incident.
"I'll go find some food," Lelouch said. He put his blind sister down in the field. Thankfully, his sister was only blind, nothing more. She had seen their mother killed. Lelouch had just walked in when it happened.
As Lelouch walked a ways away from camp, when he looked up and was three owls with letters in their talons. Baffled at such a sight in daylight, a letter landed in his hand. It read:
Lelouch Lamperouge
Kanashimi Meadow
Japan
Lelouch turned and ran as he saw the other owls heading to camp. When he got back, the other two had the same letters in their hands.
"What is this?" Suzaku asked.
"I don't know, let's open it." Lelouch replied.
Lelouch turned over his letter. There was a seal, an H insignia with four animals, a badger, a lion, a snake, and a raven. Before any of them could open up the letters, a bunch of men in robes appeared around them. Suddenly, Lelouch and Suzaku saw Nunally with her hands tied by one of the men.
"Give me back my sister!" Lelouch screamed.
"Quiet fool." One of the masked men yelled. "We're here to take you and your sister hostage."
"Let's get her back," Suzaku whispered to Lelouch.
They both dashed forward to the guy who held Nunally hostage.
"Fools." The man said as he took out a stick.
A stick, Lelouch thought, he's the fool.
"Stupefy." the man yelled, knocking both Lelouch and Suzaku back, the group laughed maniacally. Suzaku and Lelouch kept attempting to get to Nunally, meanwhile Nunally bit him, hard. After several failed attempts with Suzaku knocked out, the group began to close in. Suddenly, a girl, around Lelouch's age came rushing out of the trees near the meadow. She tripped over Suzaku and Lelouch.
Helping the girl up, Lelouch quietly said to himself, "I need the power to save my sister; I can't let anything happen to her."
"I can give you that power," the girl said, "but you have to abide by my contract."
"Anything to save my sister." Lelouch replied
The girl, C2, grabbed his hand. Lelouch saw what looked like another world. He wandered a bit, but then came rushing back to reality, realizing what this power would do.
As he stood up, the man with Nunally shouted, "Avada Kedavra you trash," aiming at C2. The green light hit her, and she collapsed.
All the more angry, Lelouch yelled, "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, die!"
The man, with the rest of the group pointed their wands at the enemy and used the Killing Curse.
"Brother, what happened; is Suzaku alright?" Nunally asked terrified.
"Yes, no need to worry. The bad people are gone."
"Well that's a relief, I'm C2," a voice spoke behind him. Lelouch whirled around and saw C2 standing up as if nothing had happened. Stunned, Lelouch just saw her shrug.
Suzaku then woke up, "What happened?"
"Some men attacked us, but they're gone now." Indeed, Lelouch had hidden their bodies prior to Suzaku's awakening. Just then, they saw an older woman walking towards them.
"I am a friend, not a foe. I have come to retrieve you." She said.
"Where to?" Nunally asked.
"To Hogwarts ,of course." She replied.
"Hogwarts?" Nunally asked again.
"Did you not open your letters?" The woman questioned.
"No, we just barely got them when we were attacked by men in strange cloaks," Lelouch answered.
"Well, Hogwarts is a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Those who show magical potential are invited to attend. We were unable to get a hold of you Lelouch and Suzaku, but you are still going to be second years. This is a wand; you will receive yours before we got to Hogwarts. I have come here to help you four out since you are all orphans. My name is Professor Minerva McGonagall, head of the Gryffindor House and the Transfigurations Teacher. Now if you're ready, follow me." McGonagall explained.
The four followed her until McGonagall reached a paper crane on the ground.
"On the count of three, grab this, and don't let go." She said sternly.
Suzaku and Lelouch gave each other puzzling looks, but got ready to touch it.
"One, two, three!" McGonagall said. The five of them grabbed the paper crane and they felt a tug at their navels. Soon, they found themselves in a different place, a big city, not in Japan or Area 11 as the Britannians called it.
"Follow," McGonagall said. Lelouch lead his sister to McGonagall who had gone through a pub, and stopped at a brick wall. When the other two caught up, McGonagall tapped some bricks. Lelouch paid attention to each brick and its location. When the bricks started to move, Suzaku and Lelouch were dumbfounded. The bricks were moving of their own accord. C2 shrugged, and Nunally had to be told what happened. When they walked through the alleyway, they saw a whole slew of shops. Lelouch told his sister everything they saw. Suzaku looked all around. C2 just stood there and walked.
"First, we need to fetch some money at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, then we will get your books at Flourish and Blotts, owls at Eeylops Owl Emporium, robes at Madam Malkin's, your wands at Ollivander's, cauldrons at the Cauldron Shop, and potion supplies at the Apothecary." McGonagall said in one breath. "Now let's go."
They marched to Gringotts and got their money. Lelouch looked around to see if it might be a good place for hiding stuff or stealing stuff. From what he heard, it was a great place to keep things safe, but a terrible place to rob unless you wanted to be sucked in for 10 years. The whole place was uneventful except a comment by Suzaku almost got him thrown out.
"It was only a short joke." Suzaku tried to rationalize.
"It wasn't a short joke, it was a short statement." She spoke sternly as they walked out.
As they walked into the book shop, they all stared at a table with a blabbermouth, egotistical man signing books. He was signing photos too. Lelouch caught his name, Gilderoy Lockhart. The group avoided him at all costs. Unfortunately they had to buy his book, but they found a shelf away from him to get it.
They walked to the owl emporium and bought their owls. Nunally got a small brown owl, Suzaku a large tawny, C2 a snowy owl, and Lelouch got a barn owl. The robes shop was uneventful for Lelouch. The group walked into Ollivander's wand shop.
"Aw, Minerva McGonagall, how nice to see you." He said.
"Thank you, these four need a wand, could you supply them." McGonagall said.
C2 went first. Ollivander took her hand and arm measurements. Ollivander then went out back.
"12 inches, yew, dragon heartstring." He said.
C2 picked it up and flicked it. A Geass sigil flew out of the end and blew up into sparkles.
"That'll do," Ollivander replied, moving on to the others.
"Let's see, 14 in. ash, phoenix feather for Nunally, 15 in, ebony, unicorn hair for Suzaku, and finally 14.5 in, oak, phoenix feather for Lelouch." Ollivander finished. McGonagall paid for them and they left. The rest of the trip went out without a hitch.
"Now hold on to the crane again, I'm taking you to King's Cross Station. You will stay overnight and then go to platform 9¾. Ready. Now," McGonagall said. The four grabbed the paper crane and were tugged to a train station. They found some benches and slept.
