"GLOMP ATTACK!" was the only warning they had before a body crashed into their backs, giving a them a tight warm hug over their shoulders. Harry inwardly gave a winced at the embrace.

"Hi Lavi." Hermione greeted warily. Ron scowled, the one eyed boy was currently too close to Hermione for his liking, but he kept his silence. Arguing with Lavi as they had learned, was just a waste of their breath, the red head was just too enthusiastic and friendly that they couldn't stay angry at him for long.

Harry was suddenly aware of the amused gazes they were getting from passing students, it was as if being the savior of the Wizarding world wasn't enough, God had also decided to send a hyperactive boy with a flaming hair of red rivaling the Weasleys to make all stare at him twenty-four seven. Was it that wrong for him to have a moment of peace?

"Lavi stop suffocating them already."

The golden trio gave a sigh of relief; Ace had decided to come to their rescue.

Letting them out of his grip, Lavi scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Sorry, just got a lil' over excited ya know?"

Hermione shook her head, "It's all right, just…"

"Don't attack us with your bloody affection." Ron finished for her.

Hermione gave Ron an annoyed look for his choice of words, "Just don't creep up on us like that, and not so much… intimate contact would be appreciated." she amended in his place.

Lavi grinned and winked with his only eye much to their fascination, "Ahh, I can't promise that." He replied as he waggled his finger. Harry rolled his eyes, he hadn't expected the red head to.

"Quit torturing people with your exuberant behavior." Ace scolded with a soft frown, it was very similar to Hermione's Harry noted. In fact Ace and Hermione were quite similar in person, they both were very studious, they both spent ages in the library, had a keen curiosity, which sometimes lead them to poke their noses into matters that didn't concern them and were always watching out for others through their nagging.

"Why, is that trouble I hear."

Lavi swiveled 180 degrees round with a devious grin reminiscent of the Cheshire cat.

"Why yes, it is indeed George." Ron brought a hand to his face and groaned. Harry could not help but let a smile come to his face, Lavi and the Weasley twins? The first time they met had resulted fireworks in the middle of the night, the teachers were less than happy, but they didn't have any proof to send the three into detention.

"Hello Harry!" the twins chorused, Harry managed to return a "Hi." before the twins turned to Lavi and shared looks that the rest knew was going to be hazardous to the school.

"You three are going to get into lots of trouble you know." Hermione said as a start to her lecture.

"They didn't catch us-"

"with the fireworks, so-"

"-They're not going to catch us now!"

The three red heads reminded Harry of banana in pajamas (he watched it as a kid because it was Dudely's favourite show), except with one more banana, after just a few days together, they managed to synchronize their speech perfectly as if they already knew what was in each other's minds and it sort of freaked him out.

Hermione gave them irritated looks, "But-"

" Don't be such a sourpuss 'Mione,"

"I-"

"You know…"

Harry watched as Ace went to assist the girl in her attempts to stop the destructive red-headed trio from creating more havoc. The Saturday afternoon being spent lazily under the shade of trees near the large lake was rolling peacefully by, he decided to forget the homework they had been doing and join them in their little moment of fun.

Bookman Sr. was currently very pissed, where the hell was that damned brat? No doubt he was hiding again to dodge doing work. He nodded at students who cheerfully waved to him, calling out, "Professor Bookman!"

He absent mindedly thought about the events that lead up to him teaching in this school full of brats who he dared say was far more annoying than Lavi. Lavi though he acted immature as his default facade, always knew when to drop it and get serious. He grimaced in his thoughts as he thought how Lavi's facade was slowly becoming part of him. Ever since the Blackorder, the brat had gotten more attached to people, and he was obviously still very much attached to the Order no matter how much he denied it, the idiot even introduced himself 'Lavi Walker' to the whole Wizarding world. When they were in private again, he had gave the brat a good beating for his slip-up, but what was done could not be reversed. Bookman blamed himself for this attachment, he knew he should had whisked Lavi away once the attachment had shown, but he couldn't bring himself to.

And now Lavi was starting to get attached again, since that day when the brat explored the Forbidden Forest and came back to report his findings, he was opening up again. Bookman rubbed his temples fustratedly, he couldn't take Lavi off to somewhere again, the war to be recorded here in the Wizarding world was going to be a very big event in history and he wanted to be sure that they recorded it all first hand from Harry Potter. He could only hope that the brat was not going to get so attached yet again. He knew this was an impossible hope, but ignored the warning from his instincts. This decision was going to come back to haunt him later.

Even though Lavi was eighteen already, he managed to get the brat into posing as a fifteen year old in the fifth year, this was so he could more easily observe Harry Potter. It had taken some difficulty to manipulate it so that his apprentice had gotten into Gryffindor but he managed, though he wasn't in the same dormitory room as Harry, it was the one next to Harry's and that was good enough for him. But something about Lavi's roommate- Ace, that the Bookman didn't like, the boy was too observant, more so than Hermione and Harry. But being observant wasn't a crime, so the only course of action he could take now was just to keep an eye on that boy. Giving a sigh, he continued to search for his apprentice; he needed to test if the brat had gotten a hold on his Fourth Year spells yet.

I hope they don't sound too OOC, i'm trying to think how they would act, what they would say etc. And Ace as you probably know, doesn't exist in Harry Potter- or D. Grayman, he's an OC I've made up while writing this, I have sorta thought of what he would look like, now that i sorta got his personality down, but I don't think he'll play a big-role here.. well you'll find out as I write some more=)

I don't have the 5th book with me so this story isn't going to go exactly like the book, i'll put in bits of what i remember but i might make it totally different from the book, but i'll keep in things like Umbridge, Dumbledore's Army, Department of Mysteries.

And a question for you-Do you think I should make put in a bit of Laven in this fic? Please review to tell me~
