Chapter 3
Disclaimer ~ I do not own Katekyo or Harry Potter
The newly formed Ouroboros was now facing the third item on their list. Individual codenames and the roles each person would have.
"I don't think we should get to pick our own name. Instead, I was thinking we could have a ballot thing. I'm bad at explaining so be patient with me," Harry joked, earning amused looks from everyone. "Let's say we are thinking up a name for Ron. He'd get a box and everyone else would write one name idea for his codename and then put it in the box. Then Ron would reach his hand in and the name he pulls out is his new codename. The same process would be done with everyone here until everyone has a new name," Harry explained.
"That actually made sense," Katie Bell called out smirking.
"I like it. It's completely fair. And it makes it more fun because the person picking their name won't get a choice," Terry Boot called out. A few conjured boxes, paper, and summoned quills/ink later and the ballot began. It took awhile for everyone to pick a name for each person but eventually everyone did. After picking their names, everyone gave the papers to Hermione, letting her announce them at the end. Hermione had a clipboard and was writing everyone's birth name next to their code name, making it easier for her to keep track of.
"Is everybody ready to hear their new name?" Hermione asked once she wrote down all the names. She was met with many cheers of agreement. "Alrighty then. Let's not build up the suspense anymore. Starting with our new Dark Lord, Viper!" Harry blinked in surprise. Both because of his new codename and because of the cheers that came from his new minions. Hermione didn't give Harry a chance to say anything, instead waiting until the cheering had died down some before she started reading the rest of the names.
"Next is our second in command! The Dark Lady Nyx!" Hermione announced, motioning to Luna. The blonde gave a small curtsy in response. They decided Luna was best to act as the second in command. Simply because she's Luna. That and neither Hermione or Ron wanted the job.
"Ron will now be called Chess Master. I am to be called Raven. Neville, your name is Terra. Mrs. Weasley, you are Mama Bear. Mr. Weasley you're Rubber Duck. Bill you are Voodoo. Fleur is Enchantress. Charlie, I'm gonna regret saying this but your name is Dragon," Hermione paused as Charlie let out an excited cheer. "Fred is Terror and George is Torment. Parvarti, you are Heaven and Padma you're Nevaeh. Since we have two sets of twins the Weasley twins will be referred to as Gemini and the Patil twins will be Kakra." Everyone nodded in understanding. "Next is Penelope. You're now Snowdrop," Hermione said. None of them expected Penelope's small gasp in surprise.
"That's what Percy would call me," she whispered, wide-eyed.
"Then it must have been fate for that to be your name," Harry said smiling gently. He had overheard Percy call Penelope that once and put it in as his vote. Penelope returned his smile with one of her own.
"Blaise your name is Spider," Hermione said, continuing on. "Ginny yours is Spitfyre. Susan you're Badger. Hannah is Vixen. Dean is Stallion. Seamus...Explosion," Hermione couldn't help but laugh at the last one. As did many others who shared a class with Seamus. Said boy was rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Cho, you're Butterfly. Dennis is Koi. Lavender is Swallow. Katie is Comet. Terry is Blade. Justin is Sherlock. Anthony is Avalanche. Angelina is Prism. Lee is Hustler. Ernie is Onyx. Michael is Swordfish. Zacharias is Eagle. Alicia, you're Robin. Daphne, you're Vortex. Tracy is Dolphin. Viktor is Superstar. Andy, you're Typhoon. Gabriel is Little Dove. And lastly Teddy is Little Wolf," Hermione finished, taking a breath. Harry surveyed the room. Everyone looked pleased with their names, which made Harry smile. He let them chat amongst themselves for a few more minutes.
"Alright Ouroboros!" Harry called the attention back to them. "In addition to the codenames, we have some codewords for certain situations. We are likely to add to them as we develop more but for now this is what we came up with," Harry said motioning to Hermione. She cleared the whiteboard and wrote the codes they had come up with.
Nargles - All clear on my end.
Wrackspurts - Speak in code/potential eavesdroppers.
Horntail - Prepare for a fight
Wormtail - lying/incorrect information/traitor
"As you can see, it's not much right now. We will be adding to it in the future," Ron said, getting nods of agreement.
"Any questions?" Harry asked.
"What about a uniform?" Lavender asked, hand raised in the air.
"How about you design a few options and we take a vote?" Harry suggested. Lavender smiled widely and nodded.
"Are we going to be getting matching tattoos like the death eaters?" Justin called out. Harry shared a look with Ron and Hermione.
"Do you guys want to?" he asked. There were many nods of agreement.
"It's very dark lordy. Makes us seem more evil," Luna said dreamily.
"Well alright then. Whoever can draw, would you design a few ideas for it? We can vote on it when we do the uniforms," Harry said.
"Dibs!" Dean shouted.
"What about communication? Are we going to be using the DA coins again?" Dennis asked.
"I was thinking a bracelet instead. I have a few kinks to work out yet but I should have that figured out soon. They'll work similar to the DA coins except you can pass along actual messages and they'll be password protected," Hermione explained.
"When do we start?" Fred and George asked together.
"Once we have assigned jobs and secured this place," Ron answered. Harry watched as everyone eagerly began to chat amongst themselves about Ouroboros and their new jobs. Lavender and Pavarti had already started discussing potential uniform designs. He actually felt proud of how well Ouroboros was coming together. If they put in enough effort they might actually be able to take over the world for real.
Okay so I know I said I'd be working on Fon's first but I had a brilliant idea for this one and that made me want to work on this more. That, and I've never been good at sticking to my own schedules.
Question. Why is Autocorrect so dumb? I've spelt words and I knew they were correct, but the phone changed them to completely different words. Makes my Beta laugh though. He'll be reading and the sentence won't make any sense at all until I tell him the word it was supposed to be. It's...definitely given us some interesting conversations. For example, he typed Lie once and it corrected to Ellie.
Thought I'd make it a little easier for you guys and put the list of code here as well. Most of them were selected at random because I ran out of ideas after about ten people. Here's a simpler version of the list. Aka, my cheat sheet~
