A/N: As always I don't own either of them. Well here is chapter two, let's hope I can keep them coming at this pace.
ooOOoo
The twins and their parents stood waiting anxiously for their reinforcements. They had received a letter the previous day from Dumbledore saying that help was on the way. The letter lacked to mention who the help was going to be, so the four of them stood in the park not far from headquarters waiting. They with the help of Aurors had secured the area a few months ago to act as a meeting spot for those going to the Order headquarters. That way if the enemy found it they would not be directly at headquarters.
After a few more anxious minutes there was finally a POP sound from behind them signaling the arrival of help. The four of them turned around and gave audible gasps as they saw who just had come. Two very failure coordinators were at the front of the group. Next to them stood another familiar face, one that they thought was rotting away in Azkaban. Behind them stood a fairly large group of people ranging from late child hood to early adult hood.
"Well I wish that we could be meeting again under better circumstances, but alas there is a war going. Now come we will take you back to headquarters and we can talk there."
Ten minutes later found the group seated at the rather large table in the dining room at Order headquarters. Most eyes were not directed at the group and their partners, but at the blond that sat between Drew and Ash.
"First things first, what is he doing here and not rotting in Azkaban."
"He is here with us and I suggest that you stop that behavior right now."
Mr. Weasley was taken aback by the anger that Drew's voice held as he spoke. The last time they had met the boy had been very polite.
"I don't know what your problem is, but you will not speak to my father that way."
"I do not wish to be rude, but I only do what others do. We have yet to even introduce everyone and you're attacking him. I suggest right now that whatever half baked notions you have of him had better go out the window. He is here because we wish him to be and we trust him. That in itself should be enough to shoot down whatever problems you have with him."
May put a hand on Drew's shoulder, instantly he calmed down.
"Let me take over. Listen Dumbledore called us here because you guys are having problems with the war. We were more than happy to come, but we knew that bringing Draco with us was going to cause problems. He wished to come to help us with your world and because he wished to help as well. All I can say is that a year ago things were different. Now he is not one of you he is one of us. If you have a problem with him, you have a problem with all of us. If we can get past this petty argument there are greater things of importance, and maybe if you gave him a chance you would be surprised by what you will find…"
"How do you know that you can trust him? He is a Death Eater for crying out loud. He tried to kill Dumbledore!"
"Enough!"
All heads turned to the red head that sat next to Ash. She had been quiet up until now and looked ready to blow a gasket.
"Listen here all of you idiots. You called us here because you want help. We all have better things to do then sit here and listen you whine about things that happened in the past. Some people make mistakes; we are human after all it is in our nature. If you want us to help I suggest you start telling us what is going on or we will go home. Each of us dropped everything so we could come here because these three called us to come help."
Everyone present besides the trainers was shocked. This teenage girl just blew up at someone quite a bit older than her and thought nothing of it.
"If that is how you wish it to be then fine, but be warned if he so much as steps out of line a hair we will be on him."
"Understandable because of my past. I am here as an ally with the trainers not as a wizard. The day I left this world is the day my life began anew. I know that none of you like me, and honestly I don't like you. As long as you leave me alone we will do just fine. These guys here know next to nothing about this world and I am here to help them with that portion. I have seen all sides to it and know things about the enemy that only one that has been among them would know."
"That may be true, but how do we know that we can trust you. Your father was once a member of the Ministry and is one of the Dark Lords most loyal followers."
"Start off by not comparing me to my father. I stopped idolizing him the day the mark was put on my arm. I was not cut out to be a Death Eater, but had no choice but to do so because my family's lives were at risk. Things are different now. My mother is safe in the other dimension and I have friends that I know I can rely on."
"You sound much different than you did before. We will allow you to function here free, but if we suspect something to be up we will not be as forgiving."
"Now that it is taken care of why don't you guys introduce the rest of your friends?"
"Okay Mrs. Weasley. I will start from my right. I will give their name and title. He we have my little brother Max. He is a beginning trainer, but is very knowledgeable on anything Pokémon. Next to him is Solidad. She is a coordinator like Drew and I. She has won a ribbon cup already and is a very good trainer. Next to her is Brock. He is a breeder and was once the Pewter City gym leader. Next to him is Tracy. He is a Pokémon watcher and Professor Oak's aid. Next to him is Richie. A trainer and one of Ash's friends. Next to him is Gary. He is a Pokémon researcher and Professor Oak's grandson. Next to him is Misty. She is the current Cerulean City gym leader and future water Pokémon master. And finally next to her is Ash. He is my original travelling companion and future Pokémon Master."
As each of their names was called they stood up and bowed to the Wizards. Wizards watched curiously to titles and names. Most had very little knowledge on Pokémon besides what they had learned from the Golden Trio.
"Well it seems you have brought a good crew. We will trust you on their abilities and hope that they can help as much as Dumbledore says they will. He is unable to make it because he along with other professors is trying to keep Hogwarts safe."
"Arthur allows me to speak. I don't believe that we have met; I am Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather. I was there the day that the trio's Pokémon stopped the attack on the Ministry. Harry's own saved my life. I can only imagine what true trainers can do with their team of Pokémon. I think that having you here may finally put an end to the war, you have my thanks for coming."
"You have mine as well. I am Remus Lupin, Sirius is my best friend and I am very close to Harry as well. You have my thanks for all you have done and hopefully have yet to do. Now let us sit down and discuss exactly what all of you are going to do."
For the next two hours the two groups merged as battle plans were forged. It was decided that they would split up into three groups. One would go to Hogwarts and help with protection there. The other group would be in the field helping the Golden Trio with their mission, and going other places if need be. The last group would stay back at base and teach the others about Pokémon and help with whatever they could there. After decisions were made the trainers grouped together to decide who would go where.
"I will do best in the field because I will be needed for information and my magic skills."
"I think it best that those with magic should stick together and go in the field where they will be most helpful."
"Okay Brock that sounds good. That means that me, May and Draco will go find the trio. I think it would be best if you, Ash and Misty stuck together because you all have been together the longest and work best together."
"That sounds good. I think it would be best if we stuck in groups of three. Why don't I, Solidad and Richie form another group? Then why don't Tracy and Max stay here at base since they both are the brainiacs of the group?"
"Good thinking Gary. You also know a lot, but you were always a trainer at heart. Okay then why don't I, Ash and Misty go to Hogwarts? I think that we will do the most good there."
"That's a good idea. You can meet up with the rest of the D.A. while you are there. Some of them have Pokémon and could probably use some guidance."
"That still leaves my group though. Where should we go?"
"I'd say go to the Ministry. They are another big piece of the war, I'm sure the aurors could use some help."
"What are aurors Draco?"
"They are the ones that go after the bad guys, the police I guess of the Wizarding world."
"That sounds like a good idea. Well now that we have everything situated why don't we get some rest and leave at dawn?"
Each trainer looked at Drew and nodded. For once the group of happy teens was serious and ready to take down the Dark Lord. A while later found only May, Drew, Draco, and Max still awake.
"May, why can't I go with you?"
"Because Max, it isn't safe. I know you are becoming a good trainer, but you don't have the experience that the rest of us have. Plus it will be dangerous out there, and I mean life threatening. Mom would kill me if she knew I put your life at risk."
"Your life will be at risk though too. She wouldn't want that either and I don't want you to alone."
"You know that's not the case. I have these to idiots with me anyway. Plus you will work best with Tracy and be able to do more good here than anywhere else."
"Okay, but you had better not get hurt or mom will kill me."
"Deal."
"Great now that all the sentimental stuff is over I'm going to bed."
"That's right Draco can't go without his beauty sleep."
"I wonder if we will be able to get him up before lunch time. He couldn't even make it on time to the contest why should this be any different?"
"It's not my fault you two always want to leave before the sun is even up!"
"Wow May getting up before the sun? That was unheard of before!"
"Max if you value your life I suggest you keep your mouth shut!"
"Yeah Max I would keep quiet, because your sister can be very scary."
"What are you talking about?"
"Have you ever seen her at a buffet?"
"Oh! Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about!"
"I would suggest that you two start running now."
"Why is that?"
"Because her face is matching her outfit and she is ready to blow…"
"Huh?"
Both Draco and Max looked back at the steaming May and took Drew's advice and took off running. Not long after they had a Glaceon and Delcatty on their heels as well as an angry May. Misty and Ash came down to watch the free entertainment. Ash just shook his head.
"They both still haven't learned have they?"
"Nope"
"I'm surprised you have Drew, you two always used to fight."
"We still do, it's just I know which battles aren't even worth fighting. Draco on the other hand never backs down, and he is usually wrong."
The group got a good laugh at that and continued watching the festivities. Soon after there were two ice sculptures in the living room. The Weasleys got a good laugh at that one, as the train station had one the year before. After that the trainers went to their rooms and fell asleep. The next day things were getting going. Molly and Arthur were the only two up after that.
"They are an unusual bunch, but they seem to know what they are doing. What I am most worried about is Malfoy."
"Arthur dear I don't think you will have to worry."
"What are you talking about? He is a traitor."
"He was a trainer. Did you watch him just now? He is a totally different person. He was just laughing a few minutes ago and seemed to be having a good time. He never did that before, not even when he was a child. We both don't know what happened that night in the astronomy tower, but whatever did helped him immensely. Dumbledore wouldn't have him here if he didn't trust him, and I trust Dumbledore so I say we give Draco a chance."
"Fine, I just hope all of you are right. We have too much going on now to be worried about him too."
ooOOoo
