"Can you feel this?" Ms. Pomfrey tapped Allen's leg with her wand and frowned seeing the white hair teen give no reaction to the hash electric shock, she even felt buzz it gave off.

"No, I'm sorry Ms. Pomfrey..."

"You have nothing to apologize for Mr. Walker," The nurse stood and waved her wand, filling Allen's empty water glass. "I've tried every spell in the book, but nothing seems to be working. The damage must be too great,"

Allen's eyes widened and he looked down, gripping onto the sheets. "I see..." just the thought of being unable to move his legs anymore made his heart shatter.

Seeing Allen's internal conflict, Pomfrey placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled softly. "We still have plenty of things we can try, I can ask Severus if he can get you something that's a lot more stronger than any magic spell could do."

Gray eyes sparkled with hope as Allen nodded. "Thank you Ms. Pomfrey,"

The elderly nurse nodded and made her way over to Tyki, checking over the comatose Noah. It had been three weeks since Allen had woken up, Tyki showing no signs of doing the same anytime soon.

The two had been moved to a room a day after Allen had awaken, Dumbledore telling Allen he would feel a lot more comfortable since the hospital ward often had people coming in and out during all hours of the day. So a room was cleaned and two beds were placed, along with the medical items Ms. Pomfrey would need to take care of them.

Finishing up, Pomfrey looked over to Allen as she started to pack up. "Dumbledore will be coming in shortly to speak with you,"

Allen nodded and watched as she left, sighing softly as he leaned back into his pillow. He felt so relaxed and worried at the same time, the order and Noah were still after him and here he was. Safe and paralyzed in a school for witches and wizards, along with one of the said Noah in the bed across the room.

Groaning loudly, Allen ran a hand through his unkempt white hair, closing his eyes. The overwhelming stress of it all making his eyes start to tear up, along with making his breathing heavy like he was about to have a panic attack.

'its okay Allen...just breath...'

Allen's eyes snapped open and he looked over to Tyki, but the Noah hadn't even moved. He looked around the room quickly but saw nothing. A sharp nock startled Allen once more and he quickly used his blanket to wipe his eyes of tears, trying to fix his hair the best he could. "C-Come in!"

Dumbledore stepped in and softly closed the door behind him, a soft aged look in his eyes. "Good evening Mr. Walker," He walked in and took a seat in his usual spot, he had often came in for small talk to see how Allen was fairing. But from the look in his eyes, there would be no small talk this night.

"Good evening," Allen knew he probably looked like a mess, but he knew Dumbledore didn't care in the slightest. "The halls have been quiet as of this afternoon, did the students leave for summer break already?"

Dumbledore nodded and chuckled softly. "Yes, and I believe we are in need of a talk of your situation Mr. Walker."

Allen knew this was coming, but he wasn't sure what he should or shouldn't say. Though he felt as he could trust Dumbledore with his life even after knowing the man for a short amount of time, just something about the man made Allen comfortable. It was a feeling that Komui gave him, the Chinese man had often let Allen share his feelings without the fear of him telling central soon after.

Before Allen could speak, Dumbledore started feeling the tense air around the white haired teen. "I feel that your stuck in a hard place Mr. Walker," Seeing Allen's body stiffen up only proved him right. "I have always had a soft spot for children, its what has made me strive to make Hogwarts one of the most protective schools in the wizarding world. It pains me to see young minds lose their childhoods, forcing them to grow up much too soon for their time." The elderly man shifted in his chair, his hands stroking his long beard. "I am also a man who loves a fair trade...If you are in need of protection Allen Walker, I will happily provide it for you and your friend.

Allen's eyes widened in shock, his heart beating hard against his chest. "Y-You can't just offer this Mr. Dumbledore..."

"But I have," Dumbledore's eyes gave off a soft sparkle.

It only took Allen a few seconds before he broke down and told the old wizard everything, not even realizing the emotions he had held in causing warm tears to fall down his cheeks. It felt nice.

Dumbledore was quiet for the hour Allen spoke, his heart couldn't help but sympathize from listening to the hell this child had been through his short 16 years. After Allen had finished he leaned back slightly, the sky almost black with the moon starting to show. "Life has been very hard on you Mr. Walker," his voice was soft, comforting. "My offer still stands strong, you can stay here as long as you'd like. Hogwarts is protected from all who has not been invited onto it's grounds,"

Nodding tiredly, the teen rubbed his red eyes. "Thank you...but what's the catch?"

"Its nothing all that drastic, I'm not sure what it is at the moment. But you'll know by the end of the week."

Allen bit his lip, but he couldn't help but smile. "I think I'll have to take you up on your offer, but I'm not sure what Tyki will do..."

Dumbledore's eyes wondered over to the sleeping Noah. "If he promises peace, then I will give him the same offer I gave to you." the elderly man stood feeling his joints creaking, knowing he had been sitting for much too long. "Its getting quite late, and Poppy would be cross with me if she found I had kept you up so late Mr. Walker." he chuckled and made his way to the door. "I will see you tomorrow,"

Watching Dumbledore leave, Allen struggled to get himself comfortable. He felt spent, but better than he had in a long time. Finally getting onto his stomach, he turned his head and looked at Tyki before sighing. "Wake up soon dumb Noah," he grumbled cutely before drifting off to sleep.


Breathing started to quicken as senses started to work properly again, hands clenching and unclenching as if to test their current capabilities. They still felt weak and beaten, but almost all of their wounds were almost healed.

But that wouldn't be a problem, they were now awake and their body would start to heal quickly like normal. Golden eyes scanned across the room, the moonlight pouring in telling him it was at least an hour past midnight.

The golden gaze stopped seeing a young boy asleep in the bed across the room, the messy white hair and pentacle scar telling him instantly who it was.

Allen Walker, also know as the 14th Noah.

It was his goal to collect the teen and bring him to the Earl, but he was much too weak to do it now.

Still not awake enough to understand his situation, the golden eyes disappeared as their owner fell back into a dreamless sleep.

Their next awakening, it would be time for action.


So Allen has told Dumbledore of his situation and Tyki has finally started to stir! I'm still not sure when Tyki should officially wake up, but one of my choices for that is at the end of chamber of secrets arc. But I also have an idea that would cause him to wake up a lot sooner than that.

I'm going to be editing the first chapter today and I'm not sure if I'll have that up today or Friday, but make sure to check for it! I'm likely going to be explaining some things about the story in more detail in the fist chapter, still not sure.

But after some long and hard thinking, this story will be a poker pairing. Thank you for suggesting the Idea jy24, your good review has influenced this story greatly.

Edit 10/12/16: Just got the update of chapter one up, still a lot shorter than I'd like...but I'm never good a introduction chapters.
