Chapter 1
"C'mon, kids! We got to get going or we'll miss the train!" a certain red-headed mother said, bustling her many Hogwarts students through the pillar onto Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Three of her children had already crossed through to the platform, leaving a small, red-head girl and her somewhat older brother alone with their mother. The boy looked around, wondering where his raven-haired best friend was. Finally, he spotted emerald eyes scanning the train station.
"Ron! We have to get going or you won't make it to the train on time!" Mrs. Weasley scolded. Ron was already walking towards Harry.
"Sorry, mum! Go on ahead; I'm going to meet up with Harry first!" Ron yelled over his shoulder. Before his mother could protest, he was halfway to Harry, so Mrs. Weasley just turned around and instructed Ron's sister through the pillar.
"Harry!" Ron yelled, getting Harry's attention. "Hey! Wait up!" Ron ran towards Harry when he started walking away.
"Oh, hey, Ron! Have you seen Hermione yet? I don't think she's on the train yet…" Harry said, still looking around. They searched all around the station until they noticed a bushy-haired girl heading their way.
"Harry! Ron! I've been looking for you! We have to get onto the train right away! I don't want to be late!" Hermione instructed, leading them towards Platform Nine. Amidst all of their confusion, instead of going through the pillar between Platform Nine and Ten, they went through the pillar between Platform Nine and Eight. How that still worked…who knows?
The trio swirled through darkness for a few minutes, where they got a short conversation in.
"I don't think this is Platform 9 3/4, do you, Hermione?" Harry asked, sarcasm ringing through his voice.
"Harry! This is no time to be joking! Something serious is happening here!" Hermione yelled at the boy-who-lived.
"Unless this is a new way to get to Hogwarts…" Ron muttered. Hermione reached through the darkness and slapped Ron on his arm.
"Seriously, guys! We need to figure out what happened to us! Wait...Harry…did you work out over the summer?" Hermione questioned, noticing Harry's new height and muscles. Harry looked completely confused.
"What do you mean, Hermione? You know I was with the Dursley's basically all summer. So unless you consider me running from Dudley working out, then no, I didn't," Harry replied sharply. This travel through black was making him cross. Just when Hermione was going to respond, they collapsed onto the ground.
"Bloody Hell!" Ron screamed. They saw a scene they could never imagine in their entire lifetime. In front of them was a monster that looked a giant rabbit bobble head. It had a pink head with sunglasses, like the energizer bunny, a coil for a neck, but had a gray body that looked roughly sewn. That wasn't all they saw. The next thing they noticed was a man with snow white hair and one arm holding a large sword that looked too heavy for him. Besides his hair, his outfit was even more unusual. He wore what looked like a white cape that appeared to have some sort of white fur at the collar, and the fur went down the edge of his cape until it reached his waist. The rest of the cape was normal and flowed down to the ground. He also only wore a small and tight black shirt and tight matching pants underneath his man ran towards the monster and jumped, aiming the sword at the energizer bunny head. He cut right through the monster, completely in half.
The Golden Trio stared in awe. He must be really strong if he could kill the…the thing…in one slash. The man fell down to the ground, and so did the remains of the monster, which was quickly turning to dust. The monster slayer walked over to a chest near the pillar the trio was at. Opening the chest, the man pulled out what looked like a neon green orb. It was breathtaking; beautiful, but also haunting.
That's when the man noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione. And that's when the trio noticed the man was actually a boy around 15 years old that had a weird scar running above and below his left eye. On the boy's right side was a silver masquerade mask that seemed to be connected to his cape.
'Whoa! An even weirder scar than mine!' Harry thought, amazed that there were weirder scars out there. Then, the boy's eyes widened, and looked the trio up and down before speaking.
"Who're you? How'd you get in here?" The boy asked, sword pointed directly at Ron. Before the trio could respond, the boy swung his weapon through the three people in front of him. All three of them gave off a yelp of surprise, and were even more surprised when they didn't get harmed.
"Good…You're human, well, one for sure, and the others just aren't akuma…" the boy mumbled to himself before talking directly to the group in front of him. "I'm Allen Walker. Nice to meet you."
The boy named Allen looked at them all separately before he pushed his sword towards his left arm stump. The sword miraculously turned into an arm, which was black and claw-like, but an arm, none the less. Hermione looked even more shocked then the other two, if that was possible, before speaking to Allen.
"Nice to meet you too, Allen. I am Hermione Granger. This is Ron Weasley," Hermione said, pointing at the red-head. "And this is Harry Potter." She then pointed to the raven-haired boy.
"Okay. Good to know," Allen commented. Harry was shocked that Allen said nothing about him. Hermione couldn't hold in a question she'd been itching to ask the boy since he changed the sword into an arm.
"Allen, what you just did right now, with your sword…Did that happen to be body transfiguration?"
Chapter 2
Allen looked utterly confused.
"Body…what?" he asked. First of all, these three people came inside the barricaded. That was something suspicious. Another thing was that they looked completely normal, not part of the Black Order. Except the green eyed one had an owl. That was unusual. They also had a lot of luggage. Maybe he should bring them to the Black Order for questioning.
"Body transfiguration," Hermione replied, about to give an explanation. "It's when someone changes a part of their body into something else. In your case, you transfigured your arm into a sword, a very large one too. Do you happen to be…a wizard, Allen?" Allen just laughed.
"Wizard? You mean, like, magic? I can't do magic, just some card tricks. Although magic would have helped me in a lot of situations." Allen spiraled into his past, remembering one of his horrible encounters with his master's debt collectors. The Golden Trio got scared when Allen got a faraway look in his eyes and started to shake. The trio started to back away, but was interrupted by the doors slamming open.
"Allen Walker! You were supposed to come out right after the akuma was killed! It has been over 5 minutes since you entered! Komui just contacted me saying to go back to Headquarters immediately!" A man with two dots on his forehead yelled. Allen came back to earth, and was shocked at the man's entrance.
"Link! I'll leave right away, but…" Allen glanced at Ron, Harry, and Hermione. "What about them?" Link stared at the trio and remembered that the museum they were in right now had been closed to the public for over a year.
"Bring them with. We'll have Reever or Komui find out why they're here." Link started walking away, and Allen waited for the trio to follow before he did. The trio couldn't think straight, so they followed, hoping to get some answers on where they were.
"How old are you guys? 15? 16? 17?" Allen asked the confused group in front of him. The three put on puzzled expressions, and looked at each other for the first time since landing. They all definitely looked older, instead of the 12 year olds they should have been. Ron was hypnotized by Hermione.
"Whoa…Hermione…you-you're…HOT!" Ron blurted out. His words took immediate effect, making a certain, newly matured, girl blush the deepest shade of red. Harry quickly recovered after looking at Hermione, having the same thought as Ron, but having enough common sense to not blurt it out. He just told Allen 'yeah', and continued walking along with everyone else.
While they were walking, Link introduced himself, and Allen was looking around the town. They were an odd sight, but not a lot of people stared too long. They were in a market place and everyone was screaming off what they were selling, trying to make a living.
"Fresh fish! On sale!" "Crisp apples!" "Mitarashi Dango!" With each listed off food, Allen's head perked up, until Mitarashi dango was mentioned. Then, he bounced around like it was Christmas.
"Link! Link! I'm sooooooooooo hungry! Can we get some Dango? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASEEEEEEEEE?" Allen begged, giving Link puppy dog eyes. A lot of people didn't know this, but Link was a softie for puppy dog eyes, a fact Allen only recently found out.
"Fine, just get them to go," Link sighed, giving Allen a large bag of money. It looked really heavy, in Harry's mind, but Allen carried it with ease. He ran up to the Mitarashi Dango booth, knowing he had to be fast or Link would get mad.
"Hi! I'd like 50 Dango please! Wait! Make that 100! No, wait! Make it 200, please!" Allen ordered, remembering that he had other people with him. After paying, Allen ran over, all ready some Dango in his mouth. "An m?" Allen asked the group.
"What?" Ron asked. Although he always talked with his mouth full, he still couldn't understand others when they did it. Link walked over to them, noticing they stopped walking.
"He asked if you want some," Link clarified. The trio was bug eyed. How could anyone understand that? But they shrugged it off, and grabbed some Dango from Allen. They were done with 5 when Allen finished 50. Ron's jaw dropped.
"How can you eat that much! I can't even eat that much, ever!" Ron said, amazed. Allen just shrugged; his mouth full of food. The three guests stopped eating when they got full, but Allen ate until there was nothing left. The trio let out a 'wow' in awe. Allen just ate about 170 Mitarashi Dangos. Ron concluded he was inhuman. After Allen ate, Link spoke up.
"We are running late, so I'll allow you to make a passage to the Ark, so we can be at HQ quicker. Allen nodded, and thought of Mana and his song in his head. A circular portal appeared in the alleyway next to them.
"So you are a wizard!" Harry yelled, accusingly. Allen sighed.
"I already told you, I'm not a wizard. I'm an exorcist." Hermione gasped, the only one who had heard of an exorcist.
"You mean…you can cleanse spirits and stuff? You're a priest of sorts?" Hermione asked, trying to remember the definition of exorcist. Allen looked at Hermione, puzzled.
"Didn't know common people would know about exorcists…" Allen commented to himself. "Well, I sort of clean spirits. I guess you could call it that. I'm not a priest, but I do work for an organization sometimes called the Black Church. How do you know 'bout exorcists?" Allen asked Hermione. Hermione was shocked that a boy only a few years older than herself was an exorcist.
"Oh, exorcists! I read about them in a book, and saw it in a movie once." Allen was filled with confusion ever since he met these people.
"What's a…movie?" Allen asked, tilting his head. All three's jaws dropped. Even Ron heard of a movie, and he was a wizard! (Although he was told about it by Hermione)
"It's where you see a scene play on a large screen that involves sound along with the motions," Harry explained. He knew about movies since Vernon liked to watch them on the TV. Allen's eyes widened in recognition.
"Oh! You mean like surveillance cameras or golems?" Allen asked. Before anyone could respond 'no', they heard a shout from the crowd.
"Allen!" the voice yelled, whistling. "Steak!" Allen's head jerked up at the mention of steak.
"Lavi! Don't treat Allen like a hungry dog!" an older voice yelled at the other voice. Everyone in the market place could hear a head hit pavement and a shout.
"Ow, ol' panda! Why'd you kick me?" the first voice, named Lavi, screamed. The second voice replied calmer.
"Don't call me old!" Allen raced over to the two voices, the Golden Trio quickly following. They found that Link stayed next to the portal.
"Lavi! Bookman! Do you really have steak?" Allen asked, salivating. Lavi laughed, still on the ground.
"Sorry, Allen. We don't. I just saw you, and since we're headed the same place, I thought I'd call you over. Who're they?" Lavi asked, noticing the three people next to Allen.
"Oh, they were in the museum I was just at. Going to bring them to HQ with us. I checked. They're clean. Not Noah or akuma. C'mon. Let's go. I opened a portal." Lavi looked shocked.
"Weren't you not supposed to open anymore?" he asked. Allen shrugged, saying that Link let him. All six of them raced over to the newly opened passage. Allen went in first, then Link, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Lavi, and lastly, Bookman. What they saw amazed everyone except Allen. Lavi, Bookman, and Link still had to get used to the Ark, and Ron, Harry, and Hermione had never seen such beautiful scenery, not even at Hogwarts. Allen now knew the Ark like the back of his hand and scurried off to the door to headquarters.
When the seven of them stepped out, everyone was shocked. No one was supposed to be in the Ark anymore without HQ knowing, but now, seven people came out. When people saw Allen, they frowned, knowing he wasn't supposed to have new passages, but then they saw Link with him, and it was okay, they supposed.
"Allen!" a man with black hair and a white beret greeted. "Welcome back! Now, about your next mission, but first…who are these three?"
Allen looked at the three Komui was addressing over his shoulder. "That's what I want to talk to you about."
