Allen Walker and the School of Magic
Chapter 3: The Order of the Phoenix
Summary chapter: Link discovers Levellier's 'dark' side which makes him question his loyalty to the man. And the exorcists meet up with Dumbledore and Black, who will take them to the Order founded by the wizards.
Pairing(s): Link x Allen but don't expect the love to appear right now. I want to take it slow...
Warning(s): Maybe some ooc since some of the characters are pretty difficult to write. Language and a bastard!Levellier (nothing new there -.-)
Disclaimer: Don't own either...
A.N.:Sorry about the very late upload but I have 3 very good excuses:
- My dad has been admitted into the hospital and we've been visiting him every day but it takes almost an hour to get there and then an hour to get back home, so I had very little time to do anyting else.
- My guinea pig died. She was 6 years old and was really running towards her end but unfortunatly she died in the hours I spend with my dad on the ER...
- Mother nature decided to give her monthly reminder why I hate being a woman (the hormones I can deal with, the pain not so much...)
But other than that, I like this chapter since I got the change to get into Link's head ^^
Enough rambling please enjoy reading :)
An hour Komui had said. An hour and then his extra 'appendices' would disappear. Yeah right, the bath-incident happened three hours ago and Allen still had the bunny ears and tail to worry about. He couldn't let the wizards see them like this!
'Stupid Komui with his stupid experiments and their stupid results.' If anybody were to ask the albino was defiantly not pouting! He just perched his lips in the wrong way.
"Walker are you in there?" Link asked while banging his fist on the door, startling the exorcist out of his thought about a certain stupid scientist.
"What do you want?"
"For you to stop pouting so that we can finish packing before the wizards arrive."
"I'm not going!" The teen was silent for a moment before adding: "And I'm not pouting!"
"You are going or did you forget that this is a mission?"
"I'm still not going! I don't want anyone to see me like this…"
A sigh sounded from behind the doors and for a moment Allen hoped that his stalker might have given up but alas… it seemed as though the words didn't exist in the blonde's dictionary.
"Walker, if you let me in, I can give you the antidote."
"Antidote?" The albino was wary. If Komui had made it who knew what would happen to him now.
"Yes one of the wizards made it. Please open the door." Was that desperation in the older teen's voice. No… it must have been Allen's imagination.
"Fine." A sigh of his own and then the teen walked cautiously towards the door before opening it with little trouble. It seemed that he might be finally adapting to his blind state.
"Thank you." A small bottle was pushed into his hand. The white-haired exorcist seated himself back down on his bed in cause he might be sick or dizzy from the potion he was about to swallow.
The first thing he noticed was the god-awful smell assaulting his nostrils, nearly making him gag. If the smell was that bad, what would the taste be?
'Never mind the taste I just want to be normal again.'
Swallowing the foul-tasting liquid in one go, the effect was immediate. A small 'poef' sounded and he felt a little tickling on his head and butt. When he reached out his hands to feel his head there was nothing fluffy blocking his way.
"So can we please continue packing now?"
"Of course, should I take one of my uniforms with me?"
"Absolutely not. Auditor Levellier doesn't want anyone to know that we are with the Black Order unless they are approved by Professor Dumbledore."
"Professor?"
Another sigh from the blonde. "Did you not hear that he is the school's head?"
"Euh… no?"
At this point only sighs left the inspector's mouth.
"There are some people, mostly associated with the Ministry of Magic who would do anything to get rid of Professor Dumbledore. His association with us would be enough."
"That's…"
"Unfair? Yes I know, but that's life. Something you of all people should know."
The sound of something closing with a click reached Allen's – now – sensitive ears and he guessed that Link had finished packing their suitcases.
"Before we leave for the school we'll go buy you some more clothes since you and Tim don't have to wear a school uniform."
"Do you and general Tiedoll have to wear one? An uniform I mean?"
"Yes, but I don't know what exactly but I'm sure that it can't be that bad."
Another knock sounded and before either of them could react, the door opened.
"Inspector Link would you please be so kind to leave the room? Walker and me need to discuss some things in private."
"Yes Sir!"
As the door once again closed, dread filled Allen's entire being. He still wasn't entirely sure if the auditor had nothing to do with his master's death.
Before the white-haired exorcist could say or do anything, a hand roughly grabbed his hair. He wanted to scream in some sort of reflex but another hand grabbed his throat.
"You dare to call for help and I'll squeeze, you try to defend yourself and I'll claim that you attacked me. Understood?"
Not being able to do anything else, the teen just nodded his head. Tears were already gathering in the corner of his eyes as the pressure on his neck continued to increase.
"You see even though nobody wants to believe me, I just know that you are nothing but a dirty traitor that will be the death of us all unless you are executed."
Warm breath caressed his ear as Levellier leaned closer to his face, making Allen shudder in disgust.
"I suggest that you behave like the obedient dog that you should be, because the moment you step out of line, I'll make sure to put you on a heresy trial. And believe me when I say that I'll make sure that the judges find you guilty. Most are paid by my family after all."
Another hard tug at his hair and then he was released, falling to the ground while trying to suck in some much needed air.
"Oh and Walker… If somebody finds out about our little conversation, I'll be sure to kill you myself. And I'll make sure it looks like self defense."
"I understand."
"Good boy. Have a nice day." And just like that the 'devil's incarnate' was gone from the room.
"Moyashi-chan what did… Are those finger marks on your throat?"
"Lavi…" Still sounding a little out of breath, Allen could not finish what he was about to say.
"What happened? Did Levellier do this to you?"
"Do what?" Link's voice asked from the direction of the door.
"Your beloved auditor seems to have tried to strangle Allen."
"Don't be such an idiot! Auditor Levellier would never do such a thing."
"So you are suggesting that he did it to himself?"
"Of course not but give me one good reason as to why the auditor would do that."
"Maybe 'cause he hates the Moyashi's guts?"
"You're wrong! He…"
"Why do you try to protect him? Why are you so God-damn loyal to that asshole that you cannot see what a monster he really is?"
"Because I own him my life!"
Silence reigned the room for a while after that exclamation before the blonde gave a proper reasoning.
"If it hadn't been for auditor Levellier's help, I would have been one of those hundredths of nameless children dying on the streets each year. The least I can do is give him my undying loyalty."
"And therefore you turn a blind eye when he clearly harasses, even hurts, your charge?" The redheads voice had taken on such a dangerous edge that it send shivers down Allen's spine just to hear it.
"I… I… I don't know." The inspector admitted in a defeated sounding voice.
"If you two are done quarreling and making the Baka Moyashi cry, how about we take a look at Timcanpy's recordings to see what happened for ourselves?"
"Oh hey Yuu-chan, didn't see you there…"
"Baka Usagi don't use my first name!" A yelp and the albino knew that Mugen must be pressed to the redhead's neck.
"I'm sorry to have made you cry." That had to be the first time that the blonde ever apologized to him. But the white-haired exorcist couldn't say anything – his throat was still sore – so he settled for simply nodding his head.
"So Timcanpy if you would please be so kind…" Lavi said in mock politeness.
For the next few minutes everyone was silent while Cross's golem replayed Levellier's message. When it was finished the albino wanted nothing more than to hide under a rock somewhere. He was truly afraid of the other's reactions. Especially Link's, since the latter was to faithful lot the auditor.
"That filthy son-of-a-bitch! I'm going to take these recording to Komui so that he can show them to het Cardinals and maybe even the Pope. Something has to be done about that Hitler-look-a-like. You guys should leave since the wizards are waiting for you."
Having done his job, Timcanpy settled himself back down on his favorite patch of white hair. Lavi left the room in search of Bookman and a fuming Kanda went to the science department. Link – however – crouched down in front of the blind exorcist.
"Walker I am truly sorry for what auditor Levellier did to you. Just because he saved my life, doesn't mean that I'll let him hurt someone else. If he ever tries something like that again I'll be there for you to protect you. And I doubt that a jury would ever convict you since we have undeniable proof of what he did. I just can't believe it…"
"I understand, when you trust someone it's hard to see their defects. And if you do see them, it's even harder to believe them. But thank you for believing me."
"I believe in the truth and integrity of a person. Come on let's go before they leave without us."
XOXOX
"Okay since everyone is here, I suggest that the two youngsters and Bookman's apprentice travel with Sirius, the others can come with me."
"Travel? Why do we have to be split up?" Timothy asked.
"We are going to use a Side-Along-Apparation. You just hold on the one doing the actual apparating and then you 'travel' along."
"What 'apparation'? Lavi asked sounding very curious.
"You may also know it as teleportation."
"Cooooool" Was all Timothy said on the matter, while Allen was beginning to take on a slightly green tint on the thought alone.
"So I suggest that the little one grabs on to the middle of the albino. Then the redhead can take the albino's hand, and everyone grabs onto my arm." Sirius directed. It took a few moments and then the man simply said: "Here we go!"
The feeling Allen had was best to be described as something pressing against him. Breathing was difficult, his eyeball were being forced back into his head, his ear-drums were being pushed deeper into his skull. All in all it felt like hell to him.
A loud 'bang' sounded and then his feet were touching solid ground once again. Not in the least bit caring that he might be smothering Timothy in the progress, the albino leaned heavenly against Lavi's chest, trying to fight down the nausea that he was feeling.
"Walker are you alright?"
"Just a little sick…"
"Well that's only normal since most people vomit on their first time."
"And you Timothy? Are you alright? Tim?" Tiedoll asked in truly 'fatherly' style.
"That was so freaking awesome! Can we do it again? Please can we do it again? I want to do it again!" Was all the nine year old could say on the matter.
"Easy there tiger, once inside ask the twins. I'm sure that they would be more than happy to help you."
"Twins?"
"You'll meet them in a minute."
"So where are we?" Link was all business again even when supporting a more than dizzy Allen.
"Grimmauld Place. If you would be so kind as to read the address on the paper. And Allen come with me please."
Following – and nearly walking into – the older wizard, the white-haired exorcist could not help but wonder what all the secrecy was about.
"The house number we are looking for is invisible to anyone except those with permission to enter it. I'm it's Secret-Keeper so I can grant you entrance. It's mostly done by reading the address but since that is a little bit difficult for you, I'll whisper it to you."
Leaning closer so that absolutely nobody could understand them, Dumbledore gave Allen the address.
"I Albus Dumbledore give you hereby permission to enter number 12, Grimmauld Place."
The words weren't even spoken fully when a weird sound reached his ears.
"What's happening?"
"A house just appeared out of nowhere." Lavi explained in a voice filled with awe.
"Gentleman, I welcome you to: the Order of the Phoenix. Please come inside and meat the rest of our little resistance group against Voldemort." Black said with poorly hidden pride in his voice.
TBC ...
The doushinji were you can find Allen with bunny ears and tail can be found on YouTube. It's called Moe parody or something like that.
Please REVIEW :) They make me happy ^^
Hugs and kisses
