The Life Savers

Chapter one: an interesting meeting

xxxxDumbledore's Officexxxxx

"Harry how may I be of service to you this fine evening?" The headmaster had his usual twinkle in his eyes today, but you can tell that he had to work for it some. Voldemort's death eaters have been attacking muggles and muggle born witches and wizards all during that summer, and the school was short quite a few students because of either fear that from the parents, or death. Harry had lost a couple of friends himself during the summer, Dennis and Colin Creevey's house was attacked the day before they were to come back to school, even tho they weren't killed, they were both badly injured in the attack, and there parents were killed. They were both at St. Mungo's at this time recovering, hopefully to be back at school in the next couple of weeks. Harry's house itself was attacked and the Dursley's were killed, and Harry was wearing a patch where his left eye used to be because of a well placed shot from Lucious Malfoy. Harry had killed him afterward, but still lost the eye. Some of the girls thought he looked debonaire with the patch, but he was hoping that Mad Eyed Moody would tell him where he got his magical eye, so he could get one to replace his also. The Weasley's were the worse hit of his friends tho, they lost Arthur, Bill and Percy in the attack, and Ron was paralyzed from the waist down because of a broken back. He was able to make a speedy recovery do to the fact that his girlfriend Hermoine Granger was by his side to help him at all times. There love bloomed even more during the summer after the attack, and Harry was thankful for it.

"Albus, I was wondering if I can run an idea by you?" Harry was serious about this, and it sent a shiver down the headmasters spine when he looked into Harry's good eye.

"Go ahead Harry, you know that you can ask me anything. What can I do for you? Is there anything that I can do to help you with classes or what not?" Albus knew that Harry was doing really good with his classes and in fact he was made Head Boy this year. Do to the fact of the problems with death eater attacks and all, he had married his long time girlfriend this summer, and she has been living with him in the Head Boy dorm this school year. They were doing pretty good, but she didn't get out of the attack on the Burrow unscathed either. She had lost her right eyes in the attach, and they looked like matched bookends while looking at people. No Ginny Potter didn't get away unscathed, but she was a real trooper, and they along with her brother and his Girlfriend and Head Girl Hermoine Granger have gotten a lot closer since it happened.

"Well the DA and I were wondering if we can form our own group to thwart Voldemort's Death Eaters. Maybe Death Eaters for the light side, we thought we could call them Life Savers. We would open it to anyone on our side to join us, but they would have to know that they would be under me. I know I'm only 17, but I have seen and lived through more things than most people your age Albus. So what do you think, will it work?" Harry was getting a mischievous grin on his face when he talked to the headmaster about this.

Albus Dumbledore was to say the least floored. He hadn't thought about this himself, and he wasn't really surprised that Harry would bring up an idea like this. He sat there thinking a little bit before answering Harry. "So you want to form your own group like the Death Eaters, but for the light side? What would there goal be? What would they learn? Of course I would be interested in supporting this Harry, it sounds like a brilliant idea. I guess that you have a few recruits already to it. I'm also sure that by the end of tomorrow, you will have about 40 more to join you. I know that the Order of the Phoenix would probably join your ranks, as well as some of the Auror's. I also know that there are quite a few people out there that would jump at the chance to at least support your group. Where will you be running your headquarters out of?"

Harry thought about that question for a minute before answering it. "Well I was thinking that we could run it out of the school, since that is the most protected, and easily defendable spot around. We could have any other people that wanted to be part of the group come in on days of the meetings. Also I thought of the school, because that's where most of my inner circle are, they are either still in school, or professors here." Harry looked at Albus with a glint in his eyes, like he had been planning this for awhile, and was just now letting him in on it.

"How many do you have already Harry?"

"Well we have the entire DA which consists of around 50 students, plus we have confirmed about 3/4 of the staff for there support in training and joining us. That includes, Professor's McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout, Hagrid, Lupin and " this last one Harry mumbled and Albus wasn't sure he heard Harry right so he asked him to repeat so Harry did, "we have also gotten Professor Snape to join our group and help us out with potions and stuff, along with the Aritmacy, Astronomy, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies Professors also to join. We have been learning, dueling, ani magi, advanced Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Defense and all these are above and beyond what is taught to 7th year students. I hope your not mad that we hadn't told you yet." Harry looked down at his hands waiting for the berating he was expecting from the headmaster. What he heard instead was laughter.

"You mean you got all these students, and the teachers to do this. May I ask how?"

"You see sir it goes like this. We all lost people we love, or knew someone that did. We are tired of waiting around for Voldemort to show his face, and we want to be ready when he does. We have students from 3rd year and up working with us, and the 2nd and 1st years are preparing to help defend the school if need be. They are learning the more advanced charms and stuff. We are only working with the 3rd year and up on Ani magi transformation, and 5th year and up on the advanced stuff above 7th year learning. I will tell you this, I wouldn't be surprised if the 5th year owls this year and the 7th year newts were the best ever after all the training that we're going through." Harry had a grin on his face a mile wide at the thought.

"Well congratulations Harry, it looks like you will be having a new group that your leading towards the defeat of Voldemort. You said that there called the Life Savers, what did you mean by calling them after a Muggle Candy?"

"Well Albus, think about it, what would be literally the opposite of Death Eaters. The opposite of death would be life, and the opposite of Eaters wouldn't really work for that would be Starvers, so we took the next best thing and that would be Savers. So Life Savers was the name of the group. Albus will you please stand, I would like to officially induct you into the Life Savers, do you accept and pledge your loyalty?"

"I do and I would love to be part of your group Harry."

"Then repeat after me, I Albus Dumbledor...."

"I Albus Dumbledore"

"Do solemnly swear to uphold the peace of the wizadring world..."

"And to take down any harbingers of the Dark Mark"

"I swear fealty to the Life Savers"

"And promise to protect the innocent and good of the muggle and wizadring world."

"Congratulations Albus, you are now officially a member of my team. Welcome aboard." Harry shook the old headmasters hand and handed him one of the DA coins saying that it would let him know when a meeting is and if anyone's in trouble. Oh one more thing, I need you to sign this, it is a agreement that you won't expose to anyone who or what we are. It will allow you to get people to join us, but not to tell them any of our secrets til the are inducted." Harry handed the headmaster a sheet of parchment that he read over quickly and signed. "Thank you sir, and welcome. Would you like to come with me to the meeting that we're having in about 30 minutes?"

"Of course I will be there, where do you have it?"

"In the room of requirements for now. We might need a bigger room when we start getting people from outside the school joining the group, but it's big enough for now." With that Harry left the office and went to find his wife and tell her the great news. The Life Savers are now an official group.

A/N: I hope you like this story, it just came to me last night. It will probably just run through there 7th year and the end of Voldemort in the end, so hang onto your seats everyone, because it might prove to be a bumpy ride. Enjoy. ----Donald
