DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER NOR ASSASSIN'S CREED THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTED OWNERS.
A/N: I was surprised that not after two days since I wrote that one shot there was a few of you about 3 favs and 4 follows! That to me even though it is like most of my stories still in its beta...a big DEAL! Wow cool.
Ok I am treading on new waters here so go easy on me. If any of you gives me a flamer I will delete you from my list. Now I have my share of bad flames before but anyone who dares to tell me off about spelling and grammar will be ignored or blasted in the next chapter.
Just heed my warning.
THE BLACK EAGLE
Chapter 1: Being Watched
It was about three years after Harry Potter was left to the Dersleys to care for. Vernon was not very happy about the arrangement but Petunia took it in stride. Being a member of the Assassin's Brotherhood helped to keep her husband in line. Vernon is a businessman and when he sees and opportunity he will take it. But one thing he values most above all else is family and even though he hardly pays attention to Harry. The boy is still a member of his house and as such he will do what he can to care for the boy.
Now Dudley his own flesh and blood was loud and obnoxious most of the time and Vernon loves to weigh on his son left and right. But Petunia will have none of it and when Dudley misbehaves she is the first to discipline him for his misdeeds.
Eventually Vernon gave in and also added to the disciplining of his son. Dudley's childhood rampages soon quieted down after his third year.
Harry on the other hand remained quiet.
Petunia was worried about the child. For when Harry speaks he speaks very little and is extremely shy around strangers. Dudley would be the one to try and protect his cousin from getting hurt from the neighborhood bullies. Something that both parents admired a lot about their son.
But still Petunia could not shake the feeling that she was being watched. Always she would look around the neighborhood trying to see what could be amiss. She even went on to ask Harry if he could sense bad people. All the reply was that there was at least one or two in the neighborhood.
Petunia was suspicious of course of the chance that there are both Templars and Death Eaters around. She most likely suspected the first since the reign of Voldemort ended about three years before.
Even with all the events that happened in the Magical Realms she still lives in the Mundane realm. And as such live the life of a wife to a man who has no affairs with the Assassin's and the Templars.
Today was a day like any other both Dudley and Harry were outside playing while Petunia was weeding the garden. Vernon had gone to work at the drill company that he works for Grummings.
The summer heat was felt over the town and she could not help but wipe away the sweat that built up on her brow. Though today like any other day she felt like she was being watched.
And today like any other day she kept her throwing knives hidden in the sleeve of her blouse and in the bottoms of her work pants. She has kept them there just in case someone was trying to take both Harry and Dudley.
"Harry dear could you be so kind as to see if anyone was trying to spy on us?" Petunia asked the three year old Harry.
Harry's eyes flashed from green to gold as he looked around trying to see anyone in the neighborhood.
"There is that lady across the street she is flashing red," Harry said.
"Anyone else?" Petunia asked
"There is another one down the street and a big bird flashing blue," Harry replied.
"Bird?" Petunia said and looked up just in time to see a black eagle soaring overhead.
Smiling she shook her head, Severus she thought and waved at the bird.
The eagle gave a cry as it banked and flew off. Petunia smiled as she watched it fly off into the distance.
"Aunt Petunia why are you waving to the bird?" Harry asked from his perch on the children's slide with Dudley watching.
"They say that when you see and Eagle you must always salute or wave at it to show that you are a friend," Petunia said as she went back to weeding well aware of the stares going on in the neighborhood.
LATER THAT NIGHT
A hooded figure raced along the rooftops of Private Drive and into the next neighborhood. Leaping onto fences and using them as runways. The figure ran with the grace of a cat and the speed of a ghost. When finally it reached the rooftop of the last house on the street it dropped down into a yard and then out into the street.
There across the ways was a woodland park one with a playground for children to play. Making sure no one was watching the figure walked up towards the clearing where another figure was waiting. The first figure removed the hood to reveal that it was female. The second also pulled the hood revealing it was a male.
"Safety and Peace Remus," the woman said
"Safety and Peace Petunia how goes the boys?" Remus replied
"They are doing fine and Vernon is finally accepting the fact that he has to workout with me in order to keep the boys safe." Petunia said.
"So what is he doing in the meantime?" Remus said.
"He is training in the gym along with jogging with me and the boys. He may not be fit by Assassin standards but at least he will be able to get the boys to safety when the need arise." Petunia said.
"That's good to hear, now what is this you sent to us about spies around the neighborhood?" Remus said.
"I've found three so far. I had Harry use his eagle vision to find them. So far one of the neighbors is definitely a spy. When I did some research she is Arabella Fig a squib sent by Albus Dumbledore to keep an eye on Harry. The other is a drunkard that comes in about three times a week. It is around the time when I clean the yard to also spy on the house. He is a wizard that I am sure. The third is a regular mundane probably sent to watch us from Abstergo to keep an eye on the boys. Vernon warned me about them and we took steps to ensure that if anything happens the kids will be safe." Petunia replied.
Remus nodded, "You may not be an Assassin anymore Petunia but we know when to take care of our own," Remus said.
Nodding Petunia pulled the hood over her head again.
"You want me to kill them then?" Petunia asked.
"No, Dumbledore will know if his spies don't report back. Keep them alive for now and when they get too suspicious then do what is necessary to ensure their silence." Remus said.
"It will be done," Petunia said
"Safety and Peace sister," Remus said before vanishing.
"Safety and Peace to you too brother," Petunia replied before running back the way she came back to her home.
NUMBER 4 PRIVET DRIVE
"Arabella is getting suspicious," Vernon said when Petunia returned through the open window in their roof. The sun roof was the perfect place for Petunia to sneak in and out at night. When she returned Vernon was waiting for her with the lights out.
"I've already reported to Remus and he confirmed what I thought about her. She works for Dumbledore that is for sure so she needs to stay alive for now. The bum also is a wizard so he must work for Dumbledore as well. The third is for Abstergo so we need to be careful on how we treat our children." Petunia said as she put away her running gear.
"So when do the boys start their official training?" Vernon said.
"When they turn four but it will be the simple stuff until they are nine then their real training begins," Petunia said.
"Ah the perfect age to start running on rooftops deary?" Vernon said with envy.
"Yes, just like how I used to sneak into your room at night," she said snuggling up to him.
Vernon laughed as he began kissing his wife.
LONDON
Remus used the cover of darkness to appear at an old creaky house in the middle of an ordinary street. Walking in he was greeted by Krecher the elf as the old elf bowed to him. Taking his coat the elf who was dressed in simple clothes went to place them on the hook on the wall.
"He was quite happy when I set him free Remus," Sirius greeted.
The old elf vanished with a pop! Leaving the two wizards alone in the now newly furnished house.
The house used to belong to Sirius's family of dark wizards and Templar supporters. When the last of them died and Sirius inherited the house one of the first things he did was free the elf from the dark spells controlling him. Then he asked if they elf would like to be hired as a permanent servant. Agreeing the elf Kretcher was more then happy to serve Sirius and help him fix up the old house.
"Our suspicions have been confirmed," Remus said as he sat down.
"Really?" Sirius replied
"Dumbledore sent at least two lackeys to watch over the boy and the house. The third belongs to Abstergo," Remus said.
"Shit! They get worse every year even with their studies into magic and genetic memory," Sirius said.
"Yeah I've heard," Remus replied.
"So what do we do now? Is Petunia going to take care of them?" Sirius asked.
"I told her not to since the two magicals report directly to Dumbledore. The Abstergo agent would probably have to report every day on what is happening so I told her to leave it for now. If they come too close or get too suspicious then she knows what to do," Remus replied.
"Very well then now as for the search for Peter." Sirius said...
