Chapter One; The Arrival
London, England
12 Grimmauld Place
August 1995
General Point of View
A group of men and women surrounded a long table. Dishes flew through the air, carrying food and drinks, as discussions reverberated throughout the room. A greasy-haired man was making cutting comments about the worn-out man sitting down the table from him, while a man with black, shoulder-length hair glared at him. A woman with bubblegum-pink hair stepped to the worn man's defense, as did the other man. Fights had started to break out, and just as the people surrounding the table began to draw their wands, the doors opened. Silence blanketed the room as a bearded old man made his way towards the table.
"Albus…" began the greasy man, but he was cut off when the aforementioned man, Albus, waved his hand, eyes twinkling.
"Relax, Severus," commanded Albus. Suddenly, the twinkling in his eyes ceased. He sighed, "There have been many rumors as to what has been happening as of late. I have come here to inform you of what has truly been occurring." He drew his wand and waved it, pronouncing a few words, and bunches of paper appeared before him. Albus handed them out to the other members and watched silently as the wizards and witches read over the reports, all becoming paler as they read on.
"But Albus…" stated one man weakly. "How was this possible?"
"Alas, Remus, that is what I've come to explain to you." He cleared his throat and continued, "There have been multiple sightings reported of strange gray-skinned creatures, sometimes accompanied by seemingly normal humans. They all appeared in blindingly bright flashes of light. So far, we have been able to preform a sufficient amount of successful memory charms, but if these appearances continue, it could cause a problem."
As soon as Albus finished his explanation, loud conversations and queries exploded from the silence.
"How is that possible?"
"Is it possible to stop the appearances?"
"Are the creatures hostile?"
"Maybe we can interrogate them!"
"CONSTANT VIGILLEANCE!"
Albus yet again held up a hand to silence the room, before replying, "To answer you; we have yet to figure out how it's possible, and thus, do not know how to stop the appearances. For the majority of them, they do not seem too hostile, but we are unsure. We also do not currently have any in custody, and cannot question them." He said all of this in a calm fashion, and then continued in a slightly more worried tone of voice, "I think the best course of action would be…"
A loud bang and a flash of light stopped Albus from further explaining. In the area from which the light originated stood six figures.
All wizards and witches present withdrew their wands from where they had been previously stored. They then took a moment to examine the creatures standing in front of them. All of them looked extremely frazzled, and had unsheathed hidden muggle weapons. They were also all male. Three of them were the unidentified gray-skinned creatures, while the others were (seemingly) normal human beings. All the…aliens…had messy black hair and small triangular candy corn horns. The tallest had onyx skin, and seemed the calmest. The shortest seemed perpetually angry and was growling ferociously, while the middle one wouldn't stop talking. Two of the supposed humans had hair so light a shade of blond it was almost white, while had dark brown hair. The blonds both had extreme poker faces and dark sunglasses, while the other had an excited expression on his face and rectangular glasses. All except the oldest alien looked to be around 16 or so years old. They looked scarred, as if they had seen many horrible things. At this, much of the order hesitated. The visitors, however, had no such qualms.
Sensing trouble, Albus stepped forwards and introduced himself, "Hello, I am Albus Dumbledore. Who might you be?"
Despite his kind introduction, the visitors only tensed up more. 'Maybe they don't understand English?' much of the order thought. Just as Dumbledore was about to ask as much when the tallest alien stepped up.
"Hello, Albus. I am the Signless, and these are my…ah, companions. If you could inform us of he males' and females' behind you's names, I would be sure to return the favor."
Many of the wizards and witches were taken aback by the alien's literate speech and kind attitude.
"Ah, yes, well," Dumbledore started, recovering from the slight shock. "The men and women behind me are Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks, Alastair Moody…" He went around the table, introducing each member.
The Signless nodded, and stated in return, "These are Karkat Vantas," the angry alien "Kankri Vantas," the ever-talking alien "Jake English," the dark-haired human "Dirk Strider," the blond with triangular sunglasses " and Dave Strider." The other, younger blond. He pointed to each of them as he said their name. "The other 'aliens' and I are called trolls."
When the Signless finished, Dumbledore said, "Now, if you could tell us where you came from and why you're here…" He trailed off, looking at the 'guests'. They looked extremely agitated now, their weapons at the ready. "My boys, what is wrong?" asked Dumbledore.
The Signless looked at him stonily, his kind attitude gone. "I do not see why we should reveal any of this information to you. We have barely just met you."
"Use a truth potion!" shouted Moody, waving his wand at them. This did not help the situation at all. In fact, it made it even worse. The aliens had stepped into defensive positions, muggle weapons held high above out in front of them. In return, the order pointed their wands towards the aliens. Dumbledore, sensing a fight, opened his mouth to put a stop to this, when someone from the back of the assembled crowd shot a curse at the opposing party, and hell broke loose.
The aliens, while far outnumbered, seemed to be doing a lot more damage. They slashed and hacked and shot, and the wizards, being unused to such weapons, could not counter. Curses, hexes, jinxes, and charms of all sorts were shot rapid fire at the aliens, yet nothing seemed to work. The two blond humans moved at inhuman speeds, while the darker haired man had impeccable aim. The aliens all had the bonuses of sharp teeth and claws, and seemed to have thicker skin than humans. The wizards were failing when, all of a sudden, a thick jumble of stunning and disarming spells were shot at the other group. The two blonds seemed to realize that they wouldn't be able to block the spells before the others, and moved lightning fast. The younger blond grabbed onto the shortest alien, while the older one grabbed the brunette's arm. A millisecond before the cluster-fuck of spells hit them, the visitors all stowed away their weapons. With a bunch of loud thumps, they all hit the floor, frozen. The last thing they heard was a chorus of youthful voices demanding to know what happened. Then, darkness overcame them.
Author's Note:
Hello, peripateticDisposition here! Now, I know the chapter might seem a bit short, but I plan for the rest to be a fair bit longer. Now, I would like you to know that all flames will be ignored. Then, all of you flamers can go and wallow in your own stupidity. Also, there will be quite a bit of homosexuality and, you guessed it! Swearing! I would like to think that if you read Homestuck, then you should be pretty okay with homosexuality and swearing. I mean, come on, it's Homestuck. I have not read any of the Harry Potter books for a long time, and cannot find my copies, so there will be some mistakes, too. Lastly, the photo I used for the story has all the pairings on the Homestuck side that will be featured in this story. It isn't necessary for you to look at it to understand the pairings, but it might help. Because what fandom has as complicated of a shipping system as Homestuck? (BTW one of the ships got cut of when I took the pic; its JanexRoxy. Thanks for reading, and constructive criticism is welcome.
