My first D. Gray Man fanfic!! Wish me luck 'cause I'll certainly need it!!
Warning: This authoress is prone to:
Chronic Fan-girl-ness
Chronic Writer's Block
Chronic Laziness
Chronic Forgetfulness
Chronic Hunger Pangs
Chronic Disinterest
So if FallenRaindrops over here doesn't update for a while, it's because of one of these horrid diseases. She apologizes in advance for any future problems. Please don't kill her.
Disclaimer: This applies to the whole fanfic as I do not enjoy repeating myself. FallenRaindrops does NOT own D. Gray Man (belongs to Katsura Hoshino) or Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling). They both belong to their respective creators, much to the chagrin of the authoress.
Story Notes: Let's just say that the hair tonic that fell on Allen was permanent and that Allen will always have long hair. Why? Because I love how he looks with long hair, so the long hair stays! Also, this is post-Komuvitan D. (chapters 160-164) and pre-meeting Cross (chapters 165-latest). This fic was written after 166 (chapter where it was revealed that Allen was the potential host for the 14th Noah) came out. The Harry Potter world is at a point when Voldemort is alive and kicking (post-Book-Five) and near the beginning of Harry's sixth year (pre-Book-Six's-end).

To say that Allen Walker's situation was odd was a major understatement. It all happened just so quickly. Allen simply didn't have time to sit around and ponder how in the world he'd gotten himself into the mess. Now that things had calmed down, Allen could think properly without disruption.
Searching for Innocence was never easy. Today, Allen was on another Innocence retrieving mission. To his utter distaste, he had been paired up with his one and only rival, Kanda Yuu. They both disliked it and they both hated Komui for his stupidity. Couldn't the fool realize that they didn't like each other? No, they hated each other (with a passion). There wasn't a true explanation as to why they hated each other so. It was like how the sky was blue and grass was green. It was an accepted fact of life that couldn't be changed.
Anyways, he and Kanda were headed for Scotland in an investigation of strange occurrences. The area was prone to complaints of weirdness, but the Black Order had to attend to matters of more intrigue. But because of the constant urgings of the locals there, the Black Order finally assigned them this mission. Innocence was the likely culprit.

August 28 – 3:28 PM
Allen ran eagerly up to Jerry's ordering window to get some long-awaited food made by Jerry. Fortunately, many people had already gotten their food so the line was relatively short. When it was finally his turn, Jerry made an enthusiastic greeting.
"Allen-kun! It's been so long! When was the last time I saw you? Was it a week ago?" Jerry exclaimed excitedly. Allen grinned.
"Yeah, I've been on so many missions that recently that I haven't even been able to come here for meals. Komui-san just keeps on giving me no rest and all missions. I feel like a mission robot sometimes," Allen replied with a deep sigh. "But now I can finally eat some more of your cooking!" Allen exclaimed while brightening up. Jerry gave Allen a big smile.
"So, what would it be today?" asked Jerry while getting out a paper and pencil. He poised the pencil on top of the paper, ready for Allen's long list. Allen took a deep breath before saying what he wanted.
"Let's see. How about three sugar donuts, two bowls of fried rice, six orders of sliced fruits, eighteen Mitarashi dango, two jugs of orange juice, five slices of fruit cake, two plates of spaghetti, two large sausage pizzas, three bowls of oden, four pieces of toast, nine slices of bacon, eight pancakes with maple syrup, and twenty servings of chicken with your special spicy sauce. Oh, and I'd also like a dessert of twenty chocolate chip cookies, a jug of milk, and three slices of double chocolate cake. Ummm… That would be all," finished Allen. Jerry copied this all down without batting an eye.
"Your order shall be completed right away," shouted Jerry as he rushed into the kitchen. Five minutes later, Jerry came to the window area and opened the nearby door. He pushed two carts full of food and handed them to Allen.
"Thanks for the food!" said Allen gleefully. Jerry just waved and grinned.
Allen walked over to an empty table and heaped all of his food onto the table(s).
"Itadakimasu!" Allen exclaimed over his food. Digging in, he helped himself to all of the delicious foods. In a few minutes, Allen had eaten his meal(s) and was about to leave the cafeteria. On his way out into the hall, he encountered Johnny who seemed to be in a rush.
"What's the matter, Johnny?" asked Allen. Johnny paused to greet Allen.
"Oh, Allen! Just the person I needed. Komui was asking for you earlier. I think you have another mission. Sorry for bringing you this kind of news when you'd just gotten back," said Johnny. Allen sighed.
"Oh well. At least I'd gotten the chance to eat a breakfast made by Jerry before I leave," Allen said. Johnny just gave a weak smile and waved as he went back towards the opposite direction of the Science Department.
"I have to make a delivery for now. I'll see you when you get back!" yelled Johnny. Allen waved until Johnny's figure disappeared around the corner. Frowning slightly at the news of another mission, Allen walked off towards the direction of Komui's office.
Allen arrived there only to find Kanda sitting on the left side of the couch with a mission file in hand. Kanda turned around only to face his rival. Both of their expressions turned sour as they glared at each other. Slowly turning their heads, they faced a nervously smiling Komui.
"…What? Did I do something?" faked Komui. Kanda scowled at him.
"Yes, of course you did. That's exactly why I feel like slicing that fake smile off of your face with Mugen."
"And I kind of feel like strangling you with my Clown Belt,"
Komui whimpered in fear for a while until Reever came in with a pile of papers. He looked at the scene and sighed. Some things would never change.
"Well, anyways, you two are to board several trains until you get to a village in Scotland," started Komui while pulling down a map. He pointed to several red lines. "These are the train routes that you are to take. The last stop will be in a village called Muirkirk. From there, you must travel south by carriage. A squad of Finders has already been deported so they should be ready to take you there when you arrive.
"The cause of the disturbances is most likely Innocence, so there will be plenty of Akuma roaming around. So far, there haven't been any direct attacks, but that's probably not going to last long because there have been more frequent reports of strange happenings such as unnaturally growing plants, unusual weather, and even disappearances of wildlife. And that's the basic summary of this mission. All should be properly detailed in your mission files. Do you have any further questions?" said Komui. Allen and Kanda remained silent.
"Well, then! That's that! The Finder called Tokuda will accompany you on your way there. He should be at the underground waterway soon so get ready immediately after this briefing. But before you go, I wanted to tell you two to be extra careful on this mission. Several people have gone missing this week already, and apparently this isn't the first time something weird has happened in that general area. I want you two to be on guard," warned Komui. He looked at the two Exorcists. Allen was sifting through his mission file while Kanda was polishing Mugen.
"WHY WON'T ANYONE EVER LISTEN TO MEEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Komui cried. Allen and Kanda merely looked at him with stoic expressions.
"Fine, fine; just go already," Komui said with a sigh. Allen and Kanda both stood up and stalked over to the door. Fortunately, there were double doors so they didn't have to fight over who would go out first. They went their own ways to get to their rooms for packing.
"Geez, will they ever get along?" said Reever as he passed through Komui's office doors.
"Who knows?" replied Komui who had just finished sulking in the corner and was now straightening his papers.
Meanwhile, Allen was in his room packing. But it wasn't as if he really had to pack anything at all. Most of everything was going to be provided for them once they showed off their Black Order emblem. He merely needed to dress up into his new coat and prepare his pockets with money and snacks. Finishing up with putting on his tie, Allen straightened up his room and slipped on his gloves. He looked up at the painting of the walking clown.
"Well, Mana, I'm walking forward as you told me to. I won't ever stop. Let me trust you. Everything's going to be okay, right? You haven't abandoned me... right?"
