Prologue

Devil May Cry

A teenaged man yawned widely as he lounged lazily on a couch stretched out to his full 6'2" in a room that seemed to have had better days. He had short, militaristic, brown hair with an odd pair of heterochromiatic eyes with his right being a dark green while the left was bright gold with a slitted iris. He wore a dark green muscle shirt that was tight across his muscular frame along with a pair of woodland combat pants and military combat boots.

"Hey Dante," The man called out in a bored voice to another male who was reclining in a chair as his booted feet rested on the desk "When's Trish and Lady getting back from their job?"

"Who knows?" Dante replied lazily, he had silvery white hair that fell to his shoulders and had a bang parted to the left, he was also currently wearing a crimson red twin tailed trench coat over top a black shirt with three buckles, two of them across his gut and the third across his chest, and a black pants with dark red cuffs. Dante lazily spun a black handgun named Ebony around his finger as the pair waited for a job "All I know Ryu is that I'm bored as fuck."

This was a common scene at the 'Devil May Cry' shop, it was definitely not an ordinary shop it was not only in a less the reputable district, but the jobs they took was the oddest part of the shop, they were mercenaries who dealt with the paranormal, demons to be specific. While Dante was not only the founder of the group, but the most experienced, Ryu was rather new having been recruited by Dante a couple of years back after meeting him through one of his jobs.

"Fucking hell I'd take a babysitting job it's so fucking boring around here." Ryu groused as he started twirling a trench knife around his finger using one of the knuckle rings on it to keep it on his finger "Have we killed all the demons already Dante?"

Dante snorted as his lip curled slightly "Not likely," He assured in amusement "It's just that Trish and Lady are taking all of the good jobs from us."

Ryu tsk'd in annoyance as he eyed the pizza box sitting open on the desk that held the last remaining slice of pizza. Before he could make a move for it however Dante slammed his foot down on his desk causing the pizza box to hop up into the air with Dante catching it and the pizza smirking smugly at Ryu "I hope you choke bastard," Ryu growled "I have a dips on the next job then."

As if being summoned the door opened to reveal Morrison, an aged blond haired man with blue eyes and a thick mustache wearing a suit, leading in an elderly man, whom had snow white hair and a beard that reached his waist and was wearing a night purple robe with buckled, high heeled boots and behind his half-moon spectacles his eyes seemed to twinkle with humor.

"Who this Morrison?" Dante asked as he munched on his slice of pizza his silver eyebrow raised.

"A new client for you Dante," Morrison replied "I think it would be interesting for certain."

Dante looked the guest over before shrugging with disinterest "I'm not the one to be talking to," Dante informed pointing over to Ryu "He has dibs on the next job."

"What's up Morrison?" Ryu said sitting up.

"Well so much for Dante paying back his debt," Morrison sighed with a glare to the unrepentant looking Dante "Mister Dumbledore, this is Ryu Hisanaga, a High A-ranked Demon Hunter, Ryu this is Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"A wizard?" Ryu asked in surprise "Let me guess, some arrogant idiot thought he could control a demon and summoned one and now you want a professional to deal with it after dozens of deaths trying to 'deal' with it."

"That is not the case I assure you, however I must express my concern at his age Morrison..." Dumbledore informed seriously.

"I assure you Dumbledore, despite his age he is fully qualified to take your job," Morrison assured "In fact I personally believe he would be a better choice then Dante for teaching."

Ryu pulled a face "Teaching!" He asked incredulously "Have you gone crazy in your old age?"

Morrison laughed smiling at Ryu "I believe you can describe the job from here Dumbledore." Morrison said gesturing to Dumbledore who nodded.

"I am in need of a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore informed "While normally I would allow the Ministry to supply a person who they believe would be suitable to the task, normally either a retired or active Auror... however with the recent stance the Ministry has taken against myself and one of my students..."

"You believe that they would just place someone who would focus more on quelling rumors of Voldemort's return and trying to discredit yourself and The-Girl-Who-Lived," Ryu finished as Dumbledore trailed off getting an appraising look which Ryu replied with a shrug "Pays to be informed when a Dark Lord is running around, they can be good for business if they're stupid enough, hey Dante remember the one in Southern Brazil?"

"Isn't that the one where he summoned a high class devil?" Dante asked "Oh yeah, we ended not only destroying an ancient temple but the island it was on fighting it."

Ryu snorted "So why ask a Devil Hunter to teach this class?" Ryu asked turning his attention back to Dumbledore "That's a rather odd approach."

"Not really if you think about it," Dumbledore informed "Like you said, there are many who are foolish enough to believe that they can control demons and devils, however if we were to introduce someone who is intimately familiar to the subject of Demonology, they would be able to warn them away from the dangers."

Ryu's eyebrow raised as he pulled out a pair of dice and started shaking it before tossing them onto the ground between him and Dumbledore getting a raised eyebrow from the Headmaster "Ryu has a minor ability for Clairvoyance in the form of his dice," Morrison explained "Although he claims it's Lady Luck looking out for her favored child."

Ryu's eyes stared dully at the dice that finally came to a rest, the one on the right showed a picture of a handgun while the one on the left held an image of a naked woman with her back facing towards them, after a minute of silence Ryu finally sighed "Alright I'll do it," He said finally "But I teach the class my way without any interference."

Dumbledore nodded in agreement as Ryu stood gathering his dice "If Morrison believes you to be capable enough to teach them..." He said slowly "I suppose with you being an A-Class you are more then capable to teach students."

"Teaching a bunch of fucking brats," Ryu said as he moved away "I'm going to get my things, be back in a second."

"Must have been quite the roll if he agreed to teach a bunch of brats," Dante said in amusement "What did he roll Morrison?"

"Battle on the right, Lady on the left," Morrison replied with a small grin looking over to Dumbledore "Should be an interesting school year for your students."

"What does the roll mean?" Dumbledore asked curious about the results.

Dante shrugged "Nary a clue," He replied "We can only really guess at what they mean, Ryu is the only one who knows what each symbol and their pairings mean, my only guess is there's going to be a massive fight that someone he cares about will be involved in."

Dumbledore blinked "That's rather vague." He replied finally after a minute of silence.

"Isn't fortune telling always like that?" Morrison asked rhetorically "Of course Ryu has a far deeper understanding of it, he never really tells us much of what he sees, so we end up guessing on what happens."

"If Ryu says there's danger at any point old man, listen to him, he has an uncanny sense of what's to come." Dante advised "And if's about to go all out in a fight, get the hell out of there, he's A-Class for a dammed good reason."

"I will take what he says seriously then." Dumbledore agreed as Ryu came down the stairs carrying a duffel bag on his back and holding onto another in his hands "Are you ready?"

"Just one more thing," Ryu informed as he went to a cabinet and pulled out a pair of silvery pistols that each had a blade attached to the underside of the barrel and extended a couple of inches beyond the end of the barrel and strapped them to his lower back "Now I'm ready."

Dumbledore nodded "Very well, I assume you know something of Apparition?" He asked smiling at Ryu's nod "Then grab my arm and well be off to Hogwarts."

Ryu eyed Dumbledore's outstretched arm for a second before looking over to Dante "Your damned lucky you ate that Pizza." He grunted before grabbing a hold of Dumbledore's arm and a second later they vanished with a loud crack.

"So, $20,000 on Ryu coming back with a Girlfriend in tow." Dante said after some time getting an amused look from Morrison.

"I know that you know a lot more about those dice the you let on Dante," Morrison said turning serious "The battle, it's going to be dangerous isn't it?"

Dante frowned as he looked at Morrison before looking away and out the window "All I know is that it'll be bloody..." He said finally his eyes hard "But... if the Lady is any indication..." Dante suddenly grinned in realization "Oh, he'll both cursing and loving this job, although I have to wonder, who is the Lady referring to I wonder?"

London, Surrey, #4 Privet Drive

An attractive red headed teen girl wearing a white spaghetti strap shirt that was long enough to cover her panty clad bottom gasped as she suddenly awoke her bright green eyes wide in a mixture of surprise and confusion. Panting she ran a hand through her messy mid back length crimson red hair as she swung her feet off of her bed and onto the cool floor. Looking around the small room one Jade Potter sighed as she scooped up her wire-frame glasses that she had purchased last year at Diagon Alley to replace her old round frame glasses.

'What the fuck was with that dream?' She wondered 'Definitely not Voldemort related.'

Frowning she sat at her small desk and pulled out a parchment and a quill and started writing to her Godfather Sirius Black.

Dear Padfoot,

How's your summer going?

Mine's going decently, although Dudley's diet is getting on my nerves (Thanks for sending the sweets by the way, they're lifesavers)

Listen, I had a really strange dream recently (Not Voldy related) it was about this guy I've never seen before, he... he was a prisoner of some kind, they kept calling him Project 01 or something like that.

Then he was found by a guy with silver hair and a red coat, the rest was a blur, but... but something is telling me that this wasn't an ordinary dream, for some reason it all felt so real, do you know anything about dreams like that?

Love

Jade Potter

Jade sighed as she sealed her letter and looked over to the owl cage that sat next to the window where a snowy white owl sat staring at her "Want to make a delivery to Sirius Hedwig?" She asked causing her owl to hoot an affirmative and hopped to Jade's outstretched arm allowing her to attach the letter to her leg "Thanks Hedwig."

Her familiar let out a soft hoot before flapping her wings and flying out the window as Jade flopped back onto her bed letting out a sigh as her eyes drifted close once again.
