Waves of the Ancients

By

Black Rose

Chapter One: New School—Atlantis?

It was a nice and sunny day. In the clear blue sky, a helicopter was flying above snow-capped mountains. On each side of the helicopter there was a symbol of a white rose with lightning going through it. Inside the helicopter was a young woman in her early-twenties—the Headmistress of Atlantis. She had long brown hair and wore a long pleaded skirt with a white blouse and brown over-jacket. She was sitting in the back, looking over some paperwork. There were also three others with her. Mina, a young woman with blonde hair with a red bow in it, was flying the helicopter. Nearby, a black-haired woman, Jamila, was sound asleep. Anthea, a woman in her late teens who had very dark red hair, was sitting next to the Headmistress.

"Are you pleased to be coming home, Headmistress?" Anthea asked, looking up from her book.

The Headmistress just smiled at her, and glanced down at her papers.

"Yes, even if things aren't going well in the magical world right now and the Muggle world still doesn't know what is happening around them," she stated and gazed out the window.

"Well, isn't that why you and your bother started Atlantis in the first place?" asked the redhead.

The Headmistress turned and smiled with care and happiness in her eyes.

"True, but my husband and some of our other friends also helped with that. Also, what the magical world did to us was not right and my brother knew that we had to do something about it, so, with our mother and father helping us out with money, we started Atlantis," she stated with pride in her voice.

"I remember when the school started; it took people awhile to understand what kind of school it was," Mina said though her headset. "We will be arriving at Atlantis in five minutes, Headmistress."

"Thank you, Mina. And thank all of you for coming with me," the Headmistress stated with kindness and understanding.

"You don't need to thank us, we're a team and that is what teammates do for each other," replied Jamila, who was now awake and looking behind her seat and smiling at her good friend and Headmistress.

"Besides, do you think that your brother—or your husband for that matter—would have let you go without us?" Mina asked.

The brown-haired woman laughed a little along with her friends. The Headmistress looked out the window again and shook her head as she replied with a smile, "No, they wouldn't have—even when they know I can take of myself—but that is why I love them..."

As the helicopter flew around the tip of a mountain they got the first glance of their beloved school in the distance, floating in the middle of the ocean. It was like a a gigantic castle. Unlike Hogworts, it was built with a shield that could keep anything and everything out, well to a point. It could also disappear and reappear anywhere on earth; at the time it was somewhere up north, in the Atlantic Ocean. It was a sight to see from the sky. It had the look of a very old castle or city, but that was just what it looked like, not what it really was.

The weather was about the same at the school. A male in his early-twenties with emerald eyes and black hair smiled at the small group of eight-year-olds in front of him. He walked back over to the blonde teacher. She was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt with a long matching skit. They were all in the training area, or what the students like to call "free fight." Roughly the size of three football fields, this special training area had every type of land known to man.

"Would anyone like to tell me, why your teacher thought it would be a good idea to show you how to fight a live Tonberry?" the black-haired man inquired.

Only a couple of hands went up, and the blond-haired teacher smiled a little at that, but wished that more would have raised their hands.

"Yes, Diana?" asked the man as he pointed to the brown-haired eight-year-old in the back of the group.

"Because Professor Shield thought that it would be easier to show us how to fight and destroy a Tonberry than have us just read it out of a book," Diana replied.

The black-haired man couldn't keep from smiling as he turned back to the Professor.

"And would Professor Shield like to tell me why she thought this?"

Professor Shield smiled a little in return and told him that she wanted to show her students that even though it appeared small and not very powerful, a Tonberry could easily kill a human in one hit with its small knife.

The man turned back to the small group and told them that their teacher was right, but that she needs to ask the Headmaster or the Headmistress if she is going to use the training area for class, because there are always fights and upperclassmen training.

The boys started to laugh while the girls giggled a little. It was then that the bell sounded, signaling the end of the class time. Professor Shield instructed her class to thank the Headmaster, and then get in line.

Each of the youngsters murmured their thanks as they filed into line. They then followed their Professor back to their classroom. As they left, they all waved to the Headmistress. She waved back to them and smiled warmly at their teacher. When the class had left, she walked up to her long-time best friend and, with a carefree smile, stood at his side.

"What are you thinking, Daniel?"

He turned his head to her and smiled a little and then went back to glancing around the training area.

"I'm thinking about Dean's team, which should be returning soon," he replied.

The Headmistress put her hand on his shoulder to give him what little comfort she could.

"Don't worry Daniel. They always come back safely, and this mission was not up in the high level area; he and his team were just going oversea to help with some flooding in the U.S." she replied with understanding, her voice free from worry.

"You're right Vanessa, but I still worry a little about sending teams out," replied the Headmaster.

She then gave him a one-armed hug and smiled again.

"That is why you're the Commander and I'm the Second Commander of Atlantis," she stated with content and with a little giggle because she knew that he didn't like being called that.

He just smiled at her, and laughed a little at her statement. "You know, sometimes I think that you enjoy the fact that people are looking at me and not you."

With a shrug, the Headmistress just started to walk away. "I don't know what you're talking about, Daniel," she replied from a short distance down the hallway.

"Yeah, right," Daniel told himself and then followed her out of the training area.

The two walked along the expansive first floor lobby, which bustling with students and teachers walking and talking. They got to the far end where there was an elevator.

"How was the meeting?" Daniel asked as he swiped his ID card on the side of the elevator. When the doors opened, they both stepped in and Vanessa pushed the Level 4 button and the elevator started up.

"It was alright, they still don't know, and—from what they can tell—Atlantis isn't even real," she grinned at her brother. He smiled back. The elevator stopped and they stepped out. They walked down a hall with offices and then entered the main command room, which had a large office where Daniel worked, another large area for meetings, and in the middle of the room was the system that ran the school. There was also a small waiting area for people to talk and sit.

On one of the seats a little girl with long brown hair was reading. She glanced up from her book and her greenish-blue eyes lit up with excitement when she saw them come in. She eagerly set down her book and jumped up when she saw her mommy.

"Mommy!" she yelled and ran to her mother.

Vanessa turned around in time to catch her daughter and hug her. She was seven, about to turn eight. She had on a black shirt and a long black skirt. She was also wearing a pink and white jacket with numerous zippers. On the jacket's left breast patch was the same symbol that was on the side of the helicopter.

"Now, Snow, what have I told you about yelling in the command room?" Vanessa asked as she kept hold of her daughter. Children weren't allowed on the top two levels, but somehow Snow and her friends had found a way in, so it was common to see them.

A cute, innocent smile spread across Snow's face. Her mother gave her a stern look that told her that she wasn't falling for it. Snow stopped and said that she was sorry, and that she was just happy to see her. Vanessa smiled and hugged her with all the love in the world. She loved her daughter more than anything.

"What am I, a Snitch?" asked Daniel with a smile on his face which showed that he wasn't really mad, just playing.

Snow moved out of her mother's hug and hugged her uncle.

"Welcome back, Dr. Night," stated a young man walking up to them with files in his hand.

"Thank you, what do you have for me?" asked the Headmistress.

"These are the files you wanted on the people with Albus Dumbledore," he stated as he handed the files over to her. "There is another copy of the files on you desk, Commander," he added.

"Thank you, Major, and let your team know that they did a great job. You may go," replied Daniel who was now walking to his office with his sister and niece right behind him.

As they entered the office, Daniel waved his hand and magically closed the door. He sat down behind his desk while the other two sat down on the couch.

He opened the files one by one, and so did his sister. Snow was looking on with her mother. After some time Daniel stopped and looked up and saw that Vanessa was done and was waiting for him. For as long as he had known her, she could always read faster than him, but he could pick up on things faster than her.

"So, what do you think?" he asked her.

She wasn't smiling anymore, and her daughter didn't look too happy either, even though she only understood what was going on to a point.

"I think that they haven't learned a damn thing, and they are not doing anything about this war they are in, and—from the looks of it—they go and join him for what little help they can do…" She stopped talking when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in," Daniel called.

A man in his later twenties entered the office. He was wearing a jacket like Snow's, except it was black and blue. He had brown hair and crystal blue eyes. He smiled a little at his Commander and then smiled lovingly at his wife and daughter.

"Sorry I'm late, Dean's team just returned and everything went well," he reported.

He then looked around and could tell something was not right. His daughter was not looking very happy—normally she was always a high-spirited person—when she was upset, something must be wrong.

"Alright, what happened? Did someone die?" he asked.

"Close the door, Alex, and sit down," commanded Daniel with a calm voice.

He closed the door and sat next to his wife.

"We just got these files on them, and it looks like they are working with the Headmaster of Hogwarts," Vanessa told him, handing over the files. He glanced though them, and then his eyes got very dark.

"Why are they doing that?

"Do they really think that will stop the war, or even win it for that matter?"

Daniel just shook his head, and looked upset.

"What are we going to do about this?" asked Snow, who was starting to understand, but she wasn't acting like herself. Her eyes had changed and were now a soft yellow color.

"Hello, Choco, I was wondering when you would show yourself," smiled Daniel as Choco, Snow's summon pet appeared.

A summon pet is an Ancient spirit that help his or her master. It took on a sprite-like form and would stay with its master until it was needed; it could also take over the master's body, if the master needed it to, in order to understand what was going on.

"My mistress is a little confused about what is going on, she knows that it has to do with some people that you knew, and that the choices they made are not helping them, from your point of view," stated Choco.

"It's a little heard to understand why they are doing this, I mean they can't really believe that the law and the others are helping them win a war that is being played in the dark," replied Alex.

"Choco, tell your mistress that it is upsetting to us because what they thought would end the war, is now making it much worse," replied Daniel.

Snow just nodded her head and her eyes changed back.

"So what are we going to do about them?" asked Vanessa, now not looking quite as upset, just worried.

"For the time being, we need to keep doing what we're doing and help out when we can," replied the Headmaster.

Everyone in the room nodded, and Alex looked around and knew what would help, "Well, as much I love to talk about them, how about we get the team together and work on our game," he pointed out.

Everyone smiled at that.

"Sounds good, we have a game next week anyway," Daniel stated with a smile.

"Come on then, let's get the team together! I'll go get my best friend!" yelled Snow as she ran out of the office and headed to the elevator and the first floor.

The other three smiled at one another and started to follow her.

Meanwhile back at the Order's headquarters, a young woman with blonde hair was sitting at the kitchen table. A meeting was going on and she was watching everyone. Ron and his sister Ginny were on her left and Neville was on her right. They had just joined the Order of the Phoenix about a week back, and they hadn't completed any missions yet and they were hoping that their headmaster would give them something to do. It wasn't like they didn't have jobs—Ron and Neville were high level Aurors and she and Ginny had also gone though Auror training, but were currently running a little tea shop in the small town where they lived together, just down the street from Ron and Neville.

"What do we know about this new school?" asked Dumbledore glancing around the room.

"The information we have tells us that it's a school, and a military base—but that is all rumor—and they working outside both laws," reported Tonks, looking up from her notes.

"From what I can tell they know what they are doing in a fight. They are well-trained in both Muggle and magical combat," replied Mad-Eye, who was the only one who had seen one of the Atlantis teams fight.

"Is there anything new?" Headmaster asked.

No one answered and so it went on. He looked at his newcomers and smiled a little. The four were sitting together, waiting for something to happen. They were the closest thing to family that Harry Potter and Hermione Granger had in the magical world. It had been seven years to the day that they have been claimed dead, and no one missed them more than those four. That is why he had let them join the Order.

"Again I would like to welcome our newcomers, even if we know who they are," stated the headmaster.

The four smiled a little, but said nothing.

"As for any new missions—just one."

Dumbledore turned to Remus. The werewolf nodded to him.

"I would like you to go to the small town called Moonlit; I would like to see if you could find any new information about this new school up there, or if there is anyone willing to join in our fight."

Remus just nodded and then asked why. Dumbledore told them that there was a rumor that a team for this new school shows up there every so often.

After a brief report from Severus about what Voldemort was up to, the meeting was over. Ginny glanced over to her best friend.

"Well, that was fun, right Luna?" she asked with sarcasm in her voice.

Luna just smiled a little.

"Yeah, as fun as daydreaming in class," she replied.

The two young women laughed a little. They had grown into very attractive ladies. They were smart and likeable, but if they were in a fight they were not something to be attracted by; they were killers and everyone—even Voldemort—knew it. The same could be said about Neville and Ron.

Ginny and Luna were soon joined by a young man about the same age as Ron and Neville; he was also a member of the Order and was a somewhat good-looking guy.

"Hello, ladies," he addressed them with a kind smile.

Ginny and Luna just glanced at each other and slowly shook their heads.

"Hello, Mr. Scamander, what can we do for you?" asked the redhead.

He smiled and turned to face Luna.

"I was hoping that Ms. Lovegood would go out on a date with me?" he asked, with hope in his eyes.

To say that both girls were shocked would be an understatement; it took a little while for Luna to compose herself enough to answer. As Scamander left with a smile on his face, both girls looked at each other and giggled a little.

"Do I want to know why you two are giggling?" asked a male who was walking up to them with another redhead behind him.

"It's nothing much, Neville, but Mr. Scamander just asked Luna out on a date," replied Ginny, while Luna blushed a little.

"As in Rolf Scamander?" asked Ron.

"The one and the same, my dear bother," replied his sister.

"And I said yes. We go out two days from now," replied the blonde.

Neville and Ron just nodded.

A man's loud voice behind them caught their attention, "I'm telling you, I'll be alright, it's just for two or three weeks…"

The four turned their heads to see that everyone besides them and the couple had left. It was Remus and his wife, Tonks, talking very loudly to each other.

"I know that, I ... I just don't want our son to come home from school and hear that… that his father is dead," stammered Tonks, stepping up to her husband. She then kissed him with all the love that she had for him. It left him wanting more, but she told him that if he returned safely she would be waiting. She then turned and left the kitchen and walked out the front door, leaving to return to her son. Remus smiled a little and turned his head to see four young adults ready to laugh at him. He smiled at them and walked over to them.

"Alright, let's hear it," he said to them.

Ron and Ginny couldn't take it anymore—they started to laugh so hard they both collapsed to the ground. Neville and Luna just laughed softly. Remus laughed with them for some time until they all calmed down.

"You four laugh now, but when you get married it will happen to you too," he stated with a knowing smile.

Ron and Neville both had girlfriends and looked to be more. Ginny was just going out on dates with different boys, nothing like her brother. And now Luna was starting to get out there and see what world had.

The four just blushed.

"Well, I can't speak for everyone, I'm happy just going on different dates," replied Ginny and she smiled evilly at her brother, "unlike my brother, who looks to be getting ready for it, and let's not forget Neville, too?"

The two young men looked away sheepishly. Remus just smiled at them. Then he looked at Luna and she smiled back at him. They both knew that she had only one man in her heart, which would never change, even if she went out with other guys.

Remus looked at his watch and told them that he needed to get going, so the four said their goodbyes and wished him luck on his mission as they all started on their way out the door. As Remus watched the four walk back to their homes, he smiled sadly after them. They were never the same after they found out about Harry and Hermione. He turned and started on his way to Moonlit. It would take him about a week to get there. What he didn't know, was that he would find more than he was looking for.

Next Time: Remus meets up with people who he thought were dead, and finds out they are not as happy to see him or the people of the town, in chapter two,

"Get Your Head in the Game."
