Just Say the Code
Chapter One: Send in Our Best
Disclaimer: Last time I checked, I didn't own Harry Potter, unless someone was planning on giving me a really large birthday present.
"Muse, tell us of us of these matters, Daughters of Zeus,
My starting point is where you choose."

The man sitting behind the desk only proceeded to place his head in his hands. How could one man who used to be so trusted cause so much turmoil? Turning to his assistant, a sigh was emitted from his lips and he slipped his reading glasses on his nose, reaching for a leather bound book.
'Who's available to transfer for the upcoming school year?' he questioned, aggravation present in his tone.
'Plenty of agents, sir.' He responded quickly, shuffling over his boss, and flipping through the pages of the leather bound book. 'Agent 207818, and Agent 326749 are an amazing team, and are currently going into their 6th year.'
Scanning the glossy page of photos with agent numbers and details, he noticed Agent 207818, her headshot waving and laughing. The red head seemed like she could pull it off. His assistant flipped the pages until they landed on the page with Agent 326749. Agent 326749 looked quite, well, there were no words to describe her pose. A cheerful smile, and a peace sign, the Asian didn't seem like she was compatible with the red head, agent 207818, but the minister trusted his assistant.
'Are they our best?' the minister questioned, only bringing his hand to cup his chin, the famous Einstein pose.
The assistant nodded. 'Y-Yes sir. Only the best. The girls are skilled and are up for transfers. Agent 207818 is British and will fit right in, not even appearing to be an American transfer. And S-Sir, Agent 326749 is the younger sister of Agent 45213. He is a much respected Agent, and would not mind being a handler in the situation.'
'Then it is settled, Dario. How soon can you bring the three of them in?'
'Oh, right away sir. I'll get right on it.' With that comment, the assistant scurried out of the room, only to slam the door a little too quickly behind him that it jammed his finger.
'Careful, Dario!' the Minster called after him, letting out a chuckle of laughter. Oh, these Agents better be top notch, or the wizarding world was not going to settle well.
Mere minutes later, his secretary's head appeared in the fire. 'Sir,' she began, catching the Minister's attention. 'We have three visitors out here for you. Agents 207818, 326749, and 45213 are here to see you as you requested.'
'Wow, that was quick,' he muttered to himself before nodding at his assistant. 'Send them in, Matilda.'
The door slid open and two teenagers and a fellow ministry employee appeared. 'Have a seat, agents.' The Minister stood up from behind his desk, and motioned towards the chairs near the fire. With a wave of his hand, three cups of tea appeared on the coffee table, and he himself, took a seat in one of the chairs.
'If you don't mind me asking, sir, but why do you request all of us for a mission?' The young Asian asked, as she, and the other Agents took a seat across from the Minister.
'Hmm.' He began, taking into consideration his Agents' curiosity. 'This case is a large one, and will require a transfer from Salem Academy to a school in the United Kingdom. I ask you Agents, as our best, if you are up for the task?'
The red head glanced at her fellow Agents and nodded. 'For the American Ministry, anything sir.'
Agreeing, the younger Asian nodded as well. But, just as she was about to open her mouth, her older brother interrupted her. 'Yes, sir, my sister and I are ready for anything you have planned.'
The minister seemed please with this response, and turned to his assistant, nodding at him to give the three agents the packets. 'Here, are the packets describing your mission. The two of you,' he explained, motioning to the teenagers, 'will be transfer students at Hogwarts. This mission has not left the American ministry, and I hope I can receive your word that it will be kept that way. Agent,' he paused, now focusing his attention on the older Asian man. 'You will transfer as a Professor from America, from Salem Academy as well. You will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, which as I'm told, is a position which many teachers don't hold for a long period of time. It works perfectly for the plan.' Pausing once more, his eyes ran over the agents seated in front of him. 'Are there any questions?'
A chorus of 'No, sir,' followed the remark.
'But, ah, before I forget. You will be attending a ministry ball a week before school starts, on August 26th. I assume you understand it's formal, and if any questions are asked, your parents work for the ministry. That is all.' He added as an afterthought, before slipping his reading glasses back on his nose, and turning his attention back to the newspaper. The man, who mere minutes before, seemed at an end of flowing ideas for the dilemma, was back in his world of peace.
The girls stood up, along with the older man, and removed themselves from the minister's office. The moment they were outside, a smile appeared on the girl's faces. It was ecstatic news. Their second mission, but this time in a whole new country. Turning to her brother, the Asian girl smiled.
'So, brother dearest,' she began, a slight hint of sarcasm in her tone. 'How does it feel to be working along side your sister? You are no longer boss.' Sticking her tongue out as a final insult, the red head elbowed her in the side.
'He's still the handler, you idiot.' The red head remarked, ignoring the gaze from the secretary as they continued out the ministry.
Shaking his head as he laughed to himself, the oldest one sighed. 'You two don't worry your pretty little heads. Just pack, and be ready to leave in two days. Understood?'
With a nod, all three of them took their handful of Floo Powder, and their visit to the American Ministry was terminated.

Well it seems as if the first chapter to this story is done. After I've read it through, it kind of reminds me of Agent Cody Banks, but oh well. Reviews? Should I continue… or is the plot well, not interesting? Its all up to you.
P.S. I need a beta. Puhlease?
P.P.S. It's AU by the way, incase you didn't notice.
Lots of love,
