August 1997

Hogwarts Dumbledore's Office

Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk in the headmaster's office of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he sat staring at a letter in his hands, the reply to one he had sent a few days ago.

The letter he had sent was to a group of young witches and wizards you could say belonged to the underground, or ruled the underground they called themselves 'the Rebels of Fortune', none knew who they were just their code names Risk, Chance, Destiny and the leader Fate. Normally Dumbledore would never even think of asking them but resent events had forced him, Voldemort had risen in 1994, the ministry had excepted that a year after and the fight had begun, but the light was losing, Voldemort had been given too much time to gather his forces and those opposing him were too weak and allies too little. Hogwarts was the last bit of hope for anyone, Voldemort hadn't attacked it yet and it was the only place left that was considered safe.

But that was going to change Dumbledore had been informed that Voldemort was going to attack Hogwarts some time this year and it was going to fall they could not defend an attack from Voldemort and Dumbledore needed to protect Daniel Potter after all he was there only hope according to the prophecy.

So Dumbledore had called on the rebels for help, the rebels were known all around England, who they were no one knew but all were aware they hated dark wizards, the went after Death Eaters, murders, rapist, child abusers and any that did harm, but they didn't ally themselves with the light, they were freelance and quite well payed but from the rumours Dumbledore had heard they didn't keep the money they gave it to those in need, I guess they were like a new age Robin Hood.

Some people may question Dumbledore's sanity on believing that a group of 4 teenage witches and wizards would help against Voldemort but then again maybe not.

He glanced down at the letter in his hand

Dear Mr Dumbledore who had too many names. (Read the letter)

It has been decided that the Rebels of Fortune will come to Hogwarts for a year to help protect it and the useless Boy-Who-Lived, we just need to agree on a few things first. The money is not an issue, good job on choosing the amount it was generous enough for us to consider but not too generous that you came off as desperate, (even if we both know you are.) We will be joining as 7th year students for our magic is up to that standard if not way past but your standard does not get higher so that will do.
We agree to be sorted into different houses but require a room that we can choose to sleep in or just discuss our plans away from eyes and ears. Also we all have familiars not a cat OR an owl OR a toad but will not go without them. We promise that our animals will not harm a student unless we are harmed first.

And last but not least we wish to be able to not be bound by the rules of Hogwarts we will be able to be out and about at anytime and wish to leave the ground on occasions, we all have business outside of Hogwarts and wish to continue it.

We will come to Hogwarts by our own method and will see you at the welcoming feats on September the 1st

Yours Sincerely

Fate (Leader of the Rebels of Fortune)

Dumbledore sighed he would normally never even consider giving students such privileges but they were right he was desperate for their help, sighing again he quickly wrote a short reply and gave it to Fawkes.

Well he knew this year was going to be interesting to say the least.

Later that day

Headquarters of the Rebels of Fortune

Location Unknown

Fate looked at the letter in front of him and laughed.

"What's so funny?" Asked a voice from around the corner, Destiny came around to stare at Fate.

"It appears Dumbledore was as desperate as we thought he agreed to all our demands, so Dest we're going to school."

"School" The girl, groaned, "I've never been and I already hate the sound of it."

"Yeah me too but we're getting payed so it's not all bad."

She nodded in agreement before disappearing around the corner, leaving Fate with his thoughts.

Not many would recognise him as who he was, not many could connect one of the most powerful wizards to a scrawny abused Harry Potter. He still remembered when his life had changed.

The day of his 5th birthday when he ran into the forest, he had run and just kept going not looking back, but it wasn't long before he was lost with nowhere to go, he couldn't even go with his Uncle Moony for he didn't know where he lived and he feared that his Father may come for him. So he kept walking.

That was the day he met Damien Parker, the man that had taught him magic and made him seem important and not just a brother to some spoilt brat.

He had ran into Parker who was looking for some rare plant to go in a potion, Parker was only 20 at the time but had taken a liking to Harry, he had introduced Harry into the Underground.

The Underground consisted on run away wizards that no one looked for, werewolves, vampires, and goblins, a few dwarfs and on rare occasions muggles. The underground was for those that society had no place for and the underground took them in and claimed them as their own. The Underground was neutral in most wars unless they were firmly against one side, for example they were against what Voldemort stood for but did not side with the light.

Harry had learnt everything from the underground, magic, the ways of the world, he knew all about vampires, werewolves, was a potions master, an animagus and a wandless magic user.

The underground was his life and it was there that he met those he called his family. It was there that he found the other members of the rebels.

The first he met was Risk, who's real name was Draco Malfoy, Draco had ran from his Father who was an ex-Death Eater who wished his son to follow in his footsteps, but Draco had other plans. Draco saw nothing wrong with muggleborns or muggles themselves, but his Father would have his way and would go as far as to use unforgivable curses on Draco, so he ran.

Harry had met him wondering Diagon Alley and they became friends fast bonded by the threat of their father's, Draco became one of the Underground.

The next to join them was Chance one Hermione Granger, she was a muggleborn witch and a powerful one at that, at age 6 she had shown signs of magic, and her parents being muggles had thought it unnatural and wished to have nothing to with her sending her to an orphanage she quickly escaped by means of accidental magic, were she ran into Draco and Harry.

And last but certainly not least was Destiny, who was born Ginny Weasley (AN What's her full name?) Ginny had been the youngest in a large family and the only girl. She was shy and hardly noticed with all her brother's around her, she was just forgotten. At 6 years of age she was fed up with her brother Ron's verbal and physical abuse, Ron always believed himself more important being a year older and friends with the famous Daniel Potter, Ginny eventually snapped one time when he was taunting her about being stupid for she did not talk much, at that she had pushed her brother out a window. Instead of waiting around to be punished she flooed to Diagon Alley and met the others.

Together they were considered some of the most powerful witches and wizards of their time, and all knew them.

Those that were considered unimportant were being begged to come back, of course no one knew who they were except Parker, it was Parker who had kept them all he was like the father of the family but a much nicer one then what any of them had experienced.

Harry started walking out his door to tell the others, he looked back on the letter he had placed on a desk. 'Well' He thought 'Hogwarts is about to get a huge surprise and he hoped he had a camera when it happened, he would just love to get a picture of his families face when they realised they had abandoned Fate leader of the Rebels, the one some believed more powerful then Voldemort'. He chuckled at that thought.
