Chapter 1:
Harry's mission: Hopefully Possible
Harry's chest heaved in and out at a rapid pace. He didn't know how long he'd been running or how far he'd gone. And now wasn't the best of times to stop and figure it out. "Dear God he's after me..." Harry whispered to the silence. "Please don't let him get me. I don't wanna have to deal with him right now..."
He gasped. With some of his depleting strength he pushed himself from the wall and continued sulkingly walking down the narrow alleyway.
London wasn't as pretty this time of year. Summer ANYWHERE is too hot and too sticky for any fun. But these days Harry had to be especially careful where he went. To be seen by the wrong person could mean seriously bad news for Harry. But at this point Harry was used to this small inconvience. At 17, and fresh from school, he was at his prime.
At the end of the alley he rested again on the wall, still breathing heavily. He then let his body slide down the wall landing gently on the ground. While he sat a scruffy black dog appeared in the opening of the alley. Seconds behind it was a sleek silver wolf. Or half wolf. Of the Grey Wolf variety. "Go away stupid git!" Harry yelled at the dog.
Within a moment Sirius and Remus were standing before him. "That's no way to treat your legal guardian." Sirius said walking over to Harry.
"Sirius I really don't want to be bothered right now. I'm on assignment and you know it." Harry said.
"Well Harry, we just wanted to help." Remus said, smile fading.
"Professor Lupin, I didn't know you were an animagus." Harry said looking seemingly bored but his voice sounded surprised.
"Newly and unregistered." Lupin said, his smile returning.
"Naturally." Harry stated.
"Must you insist on calling him 'Professor'? He doesn't even teach at Hogwarts anymore." Sirius said plainly, unamused.
"Nor do I attend anymore." Harry said in rebuttal.
"Yes Harry, you really should call me Remus or Lupin or 'The Wolfinator'!" Remus said raising his fist in the air.
"'The Wolfinator'?" Harry asked, smothering a laugh.
"Yes 'The Wolfinator'. It has a nice ring to it. Don't you think?" Remus asked. Sirius slapped his own forehead.
"Reme, did you remember to take your potion this mourning?" Sirius asked.
"Yesss..." Remus visibly lied. Harry shook his head and chuckled to himself. Then he straightened and sobered his expressions.
"Agents Moony and Padfoot, please leave me in peace. I am to carry out my duty from the Order on my own. My assignment must NOT be compromised." He paused to look them up and down, "You two are bound to get me into more trouble than even I could find on my own." With that he stood and brushed off his back side.
"As you wish Harry." Sirius said somberly.
"We just thought you outta wanna know that the subject is headed this way and is unaccompanied." Lupin said pivoting toward the opening of the alley. Sirius bent down. Using the same deep and gruff voice Harry had grown accustomed to; he spoke in Harry's ear.
"I'd use the cloak, Emerald. You could follow quietly in his wake. But don't get caught." He gave Harry a kiss on the cheek. Harry did the same.
Sirius stood straight and backed away allowing Remus to move close to Harry. "Emerald, remember your mission. Do not stray from it. And if ever you need help, you know where you can find us..." he paused, "There's a gay bar down the lane." He said with a smirk. Then he did the same custom as Sirius. Bending slightly he gently kissed Harry's cheek.
"I always hated doing that." Harry stated after kissing Lupin's cheek as well.
"Why?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow.
"Because, there's only one I want to do that to. And they don't belong the Order." Harry said with a pang of sadness.
"Ahhh... a forbidden love, of course." Remus stated linking his arm in Sirius'. "As is ours." He said tenderly kissing Sirius. Just as they were becoming animated Harry had had enough.
"Alright already! Enough. Quit rubbing it in! Now get! Both of you!" he said a little louder than he'd intended Sirius and Remus detached and returned to their animagi forms. And at last they slinked out of the alley Harry threw the invisibility cloak around him and held it close.
He peered around the corner opposite that in which the animagi had left. He scanned the faces of the already large, and still growing, crowd. "There." Harry whispered. His target had been spotted, and he was headed this way. He was tall, taller than Harry by at least 4 inches, and Harry was 5'7". He was slender and had a slightly pale complexion.
The mission was simple enough. Capture the subject, seduce them, get information, and then convert them to the Order. And that WAS simple enough, compared to other missions, until Harry learned the target's name. Not because of their past but rather, because he had a conflict of interest in his subject.
But he could NOT let that stop him from completing his mission.
As the tall blonde passed by the alley Harry held his breath in his diaphragm. He DID NOT WISH to give away his position now. The blonde stopped and glanced down the narrow lane, his eyes peeled. Harry didn't dare breathe. All he could do was stare at the handsome blonde and wonder.
The blonde looked forward again and continued down the main street. Harry followed the wizard; keeping a close eye on the direction they were headed. But ever so often he would get distracted, looking instead at the teen's butt.
After walking some 13 blocks around muggle London Harry was becoming more and more concerned for the safety of, not only himself, but of the blonde wizard as well. Then from the corner of his eye he saw the same black dog and half wolf from the alley. In a flash Lupin was no longer in animagus form. In a nonchalant fashion he began walking briskly in Harry's direction. Oh, no! What am I gonna do!
So . . .what'd ya think? Tell me! PLEASE . . . I beg of you . . . sob I really should go take my medication . . .
