I don't own anything so don't sue me.

When Harry woke up it was to a soft beeping. He opened his right eye as for some reason his left wouldn't open. He was looking around wondering what happened and wondering where Tony was. Just as he was about to try and get up a nurse walked in.
"How are you feeling." She asked in a soft voice.
"Where's Tony." Harry asked in a strained voice.
"Your brothers fine just a few bruises." The nurse said.
"Wh…what happened how long have I been here." Harry asked not quiet recalling what happened.
"Your uncle attacked you and your brother. A neighbor heard the commotion and called the police. You've been here for three days." The nurse said.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Well besides the numerous scars that look new covering almost your whole body. I'm sorry to say that we had to take out your left eye as it was damaged beyond repair." She said and Harry's eye went wide as he sat their slack jaw for a few minutes.
"What's going to happen to us?" Harry asked and another person answered.
"You will be going to an orphanage." Said an old man who looked to be in his fifties.
"Who are you?" Harry asked
"I am Paul Newman a child protection worker. You will have to stay here for a few more weeks and when they think you are well enough we will send you both to your orphanages." The man said.
"We're going to be sent to different orphanages? Harry asked.
"Unfortunately you will be as all the orphanages around here only have room for one more. Usually we would try…" was as far as Paul got before Harry interrupted.
"Can I see my brother please." Harry asked tears in his eyes.
"Of course dear." The nurse said and left the room ushering Paul out as she did so. While she was gone another nurse came in and checked the machines and Harry. After about ten minutes the first nurse came back with Tony in tow.
"HARRY." He yelled and ran over to the bed and stopped right next to it tears in his eyes. "Did they tell you that we aren't going to be together anymore, their taking me away to an orphanage." Harry's eyes went wide again as he reached out for Tony's hand and he grabbed it.
"Can we be alone please." Harry asked and the nurse nodded and left the room shutting the door when she left.
"We have to get out of here Tony. Help me up." Harry said and it was Tony's turn to go wide eyed.
"Harry you can't be serious." Tony said backing up slightly but Harry held firmly to his hand.
"I am serious, do you really want to be separated from me." Harry asked in an angry whisper.
"Of course not, but where will we go."
"The streets of course." Harry said with a shrug.
"The streets! How would we survive on the streets we're only nine Harry and we're small for our age." Tony said
"I don't care. We'll be fine. Now come on and help me up." Harry said as he pulled everything off and out of his body and Tony helped him up. "Alright let me get a look at my self in the mirror in the loo." He said so Tony walked him to the loo and what he saw in the mirror shocked him as the whole right side and the top of his head. He reached up despite Tony telling him to stop and unraveled the gauze that was wrapped around his head. When it was all off he looked in the mirror and saw his left eye lid was tapped down. He gulped as he reached up with a shaky hand eyes closed and carefully pulled the tap off his eye. He opened his eyes and gasped as he saw the healed eye socket and the small cut that was on the top and bottom of his eye lid. After he saw it he quickly closed his eyes again. "Okay I'm going to need something to wear I can't wear this hospital gown out of here and I need something to cover my eye." Harry muttered and heard Tony gasp.
"Tony are you okay what's wrong." Harry asked
"O-open your eyes." Tony said and Harry opened his good eye and sitting in front of him on the sink was a pair of pants, boxers, socks, a black shirt, shoes and dark sunglasses.
"Where did they come from." Harry asked in awe as he reached forward and touched the clothes.
"I don't know you were saying you need them and they just… well they just appeared." Tony said "You think those letters we found at Aunt Petunia's house were true about us being wizards and mum and dad."
"I don't know Tony. But help me change so we can get out of here." Harry said wiping his eyes dry. After Harry changed and slid on the sunglasses he opened his left eye and with his hand in Tony's they walked out of the room and Harry was wishing no one would see them. They walked past the nurse and the man named Paul and neither of them saw Harry or Tony. When they got out side still unnoticed they made their way down street after street trying to get as far away from the hospital as possible. As they got further from the hospital they started to slow down. When they finally stopped a long way from the hospital they looked around and saw a bunch of boy a few years older than across the street all of them with their backs turned except one who was staring straight at them. All of them were dressed in nice clothes and each of them had a symbol of a tiger on their backs. The one who looking at them nodded and the other four turned around and smirked as they saw them.
"Come on Harry lets get outta here." Tony said and pulled Harry's hand as he went. As they walked Harry looked back and saw the five boys crossing the street and coming towards them.
"Run." Harry said as soon as they rounded the corner and they started running as fast as they could and they looked and saw the boys running after them.
"This way." They both said at the same time and as Harry ran across the street thinking Tony was with him. Tony turned into an alley thinking Harry was behind him.
When Harry got across the street he looked around when he realized Tony wasn't with him and he saw all five boys running into an alley and cussed as he ran back across the street and right into group of boys who had were walking down the street. Him and the one he ran into fell to the ground and Harry heard a clanking. Looking to the side he saw a baseball bat which you didn't see many of in London and quickly grabbed it and pushed him self up. When he was standing he ran as fast as he could down the alley way. Not caring that he lost his sunglasses when he fell. As he followed the alley he heard a grunt then a voice.
"This is the Beasts territory. Anyone who comes through here has to pay a fee of everything you have." The person said making the others snicker and Harry ran faster around the last corner and saw the five boys surrounding Tony who was on the ground holding his gut. Harry growled slightly before he charged at them and lunged into the air and brought the bat down on the biggest ones back knocking him to the ground and he landed on his feet in front of Tony before turning around.
"Who the fuck do you think you are." Roared one of them as they all pulled out knifes. "Wait until Tiger hears about this."
"Hear about what Michal." Said a voice that was soon matched with a man who walked around the corner. "What happened to Cub." He asked fury written on his face. "What happened to my son?" he roared
"This brat just hit him with a bat." Said one of the other boys and the man named Tiger turned and Harry got a good look at him. He was about six foot with a muscular build. He had long rusty-reddish hair with black streaks running through it.
"Well if you bastards weren't attacking my brother I wouldn't have had to do it." Harry said turning to look at the man and the four boys cringed back as they saw Harry's missing eye.
"I don't care your reason. No-one hurts my son." The man growled as he advanced on Harry but before he could reach him a man landed in front of him and Harry saw a demon symbol on the back of his shirt.
"Leave now." The new man said.
"Who the hell are you? This doesn't concern you." Tiger said angrily.
"Of course it does if you are attacking a kid." The man said "Now one more chance. Leave before you get hurt." He said and Tiger growled again as he swung and the man easily blocked it and kicked Tiger in the knee cap hard knocking him to the ground. "Come on." The man said and led Harry and Tony out of the alley as the four boys backed away from them.
"Thank you." Tony said.
"No problem. Who are you two?" The man asked walking backwards and Harry got a good look at him and saw that he wasn't an adult but a teenager of about 17. He stood at about 6'2 with short black hair and a lean body.
"I'm Tony this is my older brother Harry. Who're you?" Tony asked as the man led them down out of the alley way and down the street.
"Everyone calls me Lucifer. I'm the leader of the Guardian's of Hell." He said
"And that's what exactly?" Harry asked raising his eyebrow not realizing that he lost his sunglasses as the sun started going down.
"It's a gang of course." Lucifer said with a grin.
"You don't sound like you're from around here?" Tony half asked half commented.
"I'm originally from the states but I moved here when I was seven with my parents. They were killed two years later by Voldemort and his followers." Lucifer said with a shrug.
"Voldemort?" Harry asked
"Voldemort, you mean you don't know who he is. Well I guess I just assumed that you knew seeing as your magical." Lucifer said as he turned down an alley way and Harry and Tony followed him. As they moved through the alley it changed as they reached a dead end as it formed a huge square. They looked around and they saw that there were thirty people walking around ranging from Harry and Tony's age all the way to Lucifer's age. On the left hand side of the alley there was an open garage and Harry and Tony saw bicycles, dirt bikes, motorcycles and cars lined up in it. And scattered around the alley were swing sets and toys that the younger kids were playing with.
"Come on inside it'll be getting real dark soon." Lucifer said and led them across the alley and into a door in the back of one of the buildings. "All three buildings here are abandoned. About six months ago we made this our new home. You can stay here if you like."
"Alright on one condition." Harry said and Lucifer nodded.
"Name it."
"Give us proof of what you were saying about being magical." Harry said with a slight glare.
"Well…alright but I'm not that powerful I can just see auras. I'm almost a squib." Lucifer said
"A squib. What's a squib?" Tony asked.
"A squib is some one with magical parents who doesn't have any magic themselves. But like I said I do have a little bit of power." Lucifer said as he pulled out a stick and pointed it at a rock on the floor. "Wingardium Leviosa." He said and waved his wand with a swish and flick. Harry and Tony watch amazed as the rock lifted off the ground.
"That's so cool." Tony said as Harry walked over and waved his hands over the top bottom and sides.
"So that means its true then." Harry said angrily thinking of the letter they found at the Dursley's.
"Don't worry Harry at least we have each other." Tony said giving Harry a hug.
"So you guys gonna stay here then." Lucifer asked with a small smile.
"Yeah I guess so." Tony said as he looked at Harry. "Harry where are your sunglasses." He asked and Harry quickly put a hand over his face.
"Shit they must have fallen off back there with the Tiger guy." Harry said and he felt Tony grab the hand covering his face and pull it down.
"Harry its really not that bad. Don't worry about it." he said and Harry sighed.
"But it looks so weird." Harry complained.
"Yeah well it'll just take some time to get use to it." Lucifer said as he put and arm around Harry and Tony's shoulder and led them forward.
"So if you guys will be staying here for a while let me explain how everything works. We steal, we do drugs, we fight, and we party. Now all the people you just saw out side they aren't all in Guardians of Hell. There are only ten of us the rest are with the Visigoths, the leader is Alaric. I know not very creative but the guys into Norway for some reason and I guess that's where the Visigoths were first started. Anywho so those other twenty or so people out there are with him and we're on good terms. He's really the reason we've been around as long as we have been. Since I was twelve and I came out of his shadow and started my gang." Lucifer said with a far away look in his eye.
"You know him personally." Harry said as he they walked through the maze like building.
"Yeah I was in his gang, one of his top but I decided to go off on my own and he respected it so he helped me out." Lucifer said shaking his head to clear his mind. "So you guys have any experience doing anything."
"Well we had to do all the cooking and cleaning back our aunt and uncles house." Tony said looking up at Lucifer who shook his head.
"No you misunderstood me. Do you have any experience with say fight, stealing, getting away from people, stuff like that." Lucifer said as they stopped outside of a door.
"Well we can run away from people real good. We're good at blocking hits. Harry here beat a kid up before in our cousin's gang because he was making fun of us. And some times we'd have to sneak out of our room and sneak food." Tony said with a shrug.
"Well we can teach you to fight and to steal. Sounds like you have stealth and speed down so that's good. But for now lets get you some dinner than we need to get to bed, big day of learning for you tomorrow." Lucifer said and opened the door and they saw nine other people in the room already eating at a large table sitting on barrels and crates with three spots open with food already sitting on them. After they finished Harry and Tony were introduced to everyone. After that they were shown to a room where they could sleep.
"Harry are you awake." Tony asked from the left hand corner into the dark quietly hours after they went into the room.
"Yeah." Harry said from his cot in the right hand corner. "What's wrong?"
"I just can't sleep. I keep thinking of the letter. About out parents. The people we always wanted to defend. Do you think Lucifer knows anything about them if our brother is famous?"
"Probably we can ask him tomorrow. Now come on lets get some sleep." Harry said and Harry heard the sound of scrapping metal against stone before he saw Tony pulling his cot over to him. When they were right next to each other he got back into his cot.
"Night Harry."
"Night." Harry said and put his head down and closed his eyes. The whole gang were woke almost an hour later as Harry and Tony shot up in bed both screaming loudly.
