Willoffire123: Hey there! Liz and Patty somehow managed to get in here so they're going to do the disclaimer.
Liz & Patty: Willoffire123 doesn't own Soul Eater or Harry Potter.
Liz: There, can we go now?
Willoffire123: That's up to you, I don't know how you got in here.
(Buckbeak swoops in and picks up one of them in each claw)
Willoffire123: Well then, now that that's over with. On with the chapter!
Kid's POV
"Oh man! That was great!" said Black Star, leaning back in his chair only to be smacked over the head with a ladle by Mrs. Weasely.
"Sit up straight Ethan!"
"I don't get how they can be so calm, we're surrounded by witches and wizards," Maka muttered to me.
"Our goal is to protect Harry Potter we might as well give him the benefit of the doubt. However, giving witches the benefit of the doubt has never worked out well for us in the past. Don't let your guard down," I whispered to her while studying Harry Potter.
He looked up at me. This guy seems perfectly normal to me, other than the fact that he cheated my father when he was a baby. I smirked at him, he turned and whispered something to Ron Weasely. Being a Grim Reaper, I have better hearing than most ordinary people.
"Hey Ron, there's something abnormal about Sam Drake. I think he might be a Death Eater," Harry whispered.
"Maybe… don't worry about it now mate, he hasn't done anything wrong," Ron whispered back.
Before Harry had a chance to retort, Sirius Black leaned back in his chair.
"You know Harry, I'm surprised. I thought that you'd be asking us all questions as soon as you got here."
"I did," Harry retorted angrily. "But nobody answered me, they said I'm not in the order."
"They're quite right!" said Mrs. Weasely, standing up suddenly. "You're too young!"
Soul snorted, I raised an eyebrow at the witch. We were made temporary members of the order. Most of these teens are around our age and yet they're too young?
*No, too inexperienced, that's it,* I thought bitterly.
I tuned out of the argument for a while. I have more important things to think about. Like for instance, how we're going to be able to perform magic. Father said we would be able to when the time arrived, but I need more proof than that. One slip up could blow our entire cover at Hogwarts.
Liz poked me sharply. "What!" I said indignantly, then I looked around. Everyone was staring at me.
"Pay attention Sam," she said pointedly, "These guys are talking about something you might want to hear."
I leaned back in my chair. "Well then? Let's hear it."
"As I was saying," said Sirius. "The Order has been out searching for Voldemort (most of the people sitting at the table flinched) and for anyone who will believe us." He looked at me. "For instance, the headmaster of your school, Dumbledore won't tell us his name but he's given us his full support."
"Something else that you kids might want to watch out for," said the werewolf, Lupin. "A strange man has been sighted with Death Eaters. Our sources say he is working with Voldemort." Everyone flinched again.
"There it is again. If you don't mind me asking, why do you keep wincing whenever someone says Voldemort?" asked Soul.
"You know something Soul, I'm not really sure. The name's supposed to be tabooed, but some people, myself, Sirius and Harry included, don't believe this," answered Lupin.
"Oh please, out of all the things in the world you could be afraid of you pick a name? That's so stupid," said Maka incredulously. "Instead of being afraid of a name, you should focus on Voldemort himself, a name doesn't do anything."
"She's right," said Harry.
"I never asked your opinion!" Maka snapped. "I know I'm right, but that's not the main issue here."
"Yes," said Tsubaki. "Lupin, can you perhaps tell us a little more about this man who's been sighted with Voldemort?"
"Like a name or a description," I added. Lupin passed me a picture.
"This is him. We managed to get a clear shot of him which I'm amazed by, we never have that much luck…" I never heard the rest of his sentence. My hands shook as I stared in shock at a man I had prayed I would never see again.
Maka looked over my shoulder and gave a horrified gasp. "Oh my god. I-it's Noah," she stuttered.
Harry's POV
Lupin's head turned in Maka's direction. "You know something about this man?"
"His name's Noah, and he's probably one of the most dangerous enemies you could hope for," said Liz darkly.
"No… that's impossible," said Sam, scowling at the picture in his hands. "How is he here? He's dead."
"How do you know that?" asked Hermione. "If this Noah guy has been sighted, he's obviously alive."
"Hermione, this doesn't concern you at all. Stay out of it," said Liz venomously, glaring at her. "But yeah, we know all about Noah. He carries around a magic book called 'The Book of Eibon.' The book has all of the Seven Deadly Sins in it, whoever comes in contact with it goes completely insane."
Sam stood up. "If you all will excuse me, it's been a long day, I'd like to get some rest."
"I'll come to." Said Patty. And they disappeared without another word. The rest of us sat in horrified silence.
"Liz, Maka, all of you, if you don't mind me asking, how do you know all of this?" said Lupin finally.
"Didn't you hear me earlier? This doesn't concern you at all," Liz spat. "Maka, Soul, Ethan, Tsubaki, you coming?" and the rest of them disappeared upstairs. More silence followed.
"Well this proves it," said Sirius at last. "Voldemort is even more dangerous than the first time."
"That's enough Sirius." Said Mrs. Weasely. "The children have heard enough to satisfy their interests for now. Off to bed with the lot of you!" she cried. We didn't need telling twice. I could tell that the others were just as terrified of Noah as I was. Ginny, who hadn't been allowed to stay downstairs with us, was waiting in our room when we got upstairs.
"Well? What happened?" she said. Of course, leave it to Ginny to get right to the point. We told her about Noah.
"That's terrible," she said. "But that's definitely not the whole truth. The transfer students must have some sort of history with this Noah guy."
"Hey Harry!" said Ron excitedly. "Maybe The Book of Eibon is the weapon they're guarding at the Department of Mysteries."
"I don't think so." I said slowly. "From what Liz said, Noah carries the book with him. And I don't think a follower of Voldemort-oh would you three quit it! You heard what Maka said down there about it being stupid to be afraid of a name. Anyway I don't think a follower of Voldemort would be hiding out in the Department of Mysteries."
Before anyone could answer that, Mrs. Weasely's footsteps came clumping up the stairs.
"Run!" I told Hermione and Ginny. They didn't need telling twice, they sprinted up a secret set of stairs that connected their room to ours.
Ron and I flung ourselves into our beds just as the door creaked open. The door closed again and I could hear the footsteps of Mrs. Weasely making their way upstairs to check on Hermione and Ginny.
Ron and I didn't really feel like talking after that so I lay awake in bed for a while, staring at the celling.
Flashback
"Oh please, out of all the things in the world you could be afraid of you pick a name? That's so stupid," said Maka incredulously. "Instead of being afraid of a name, you should focus on Voldemort himself, a name doesn't do anything."
"She's right," said Harry.
"I never asked your opinion!" Maka snapped. "I know I'm right."
End of Flashback
*I wonder why she hates me so much? Maybe… maybe it has something to do with their pasts. But how is this Noah guy connected to them?* And with these happy thoughts, I drifted to sleep.
Will Noah come after Maka and her friends? Why is he working for Voldemort? Keep reviewing and you'll find out!
