DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER AND ASSASSINS CREED THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTED OWNERS!

A/n: I would like to say a huge apology to those who were on my follows list for the lack of updates. I had issues with real life with Tropical Storm Iselle (That never touched my side of the island!) so updates were slow. So just to let you all know that all my updates are going to slow down for a bit as I am doing some things fanart related. That and working on my comic book series 'Project I.C.A.R.U.S.' so it will slow down a bit. Don't worry I have not abandoned the story so you are safe for now.

Anyways on with the story.

THE BLACK EAGLE

Chapter 08: Kings Cross Templar

It was finally time to bid his family farewell. Harry was nervous as he stood at King's Cross Station in London ready to board the Hogwarts Express to his new school. His cousin Dudley was already hugging him goodbye and refused to let him go. Aunt Petunia was also in tears for her nephew was leaving her side and protection. She knew though that it was for the best since she knows nothing about magic save for the basics. She knew how to detect magic and brew potions but that's as far as her knowledge goes. Every Assassin is trained in the arts of magic one way or another. If one does not have an aptitude for it they are only trained in the basics such as detection and potions. Which anyone can do if they are not magical in nature.

Harry on the other hand is magical so she has to pass on her mentorship to another who is also like Harry. Only then can one who takes over teach Harry how to truly be a magical Assassin as rare as they are nowadays.

Vernon was the only one who was not able to make it because he had to work but he sends his well wishes. Harry hugged his aunt one last time before looking at the instructions on the ticket.

"Um Aunt Petunia there is no 3/4's between platforms 9 and 10," Harry said.

"Use your gift Harry there is a portal at one of the pillars," Petunia replied.

Harry wanted to smack himself, of course!

He saw the world fade to gray as the colorless people came into view along with the whites of innocents. It was then that he finally saw the white of the pillar.

"I see it Auntie!" he said

"Good now Dudley and I can't follow you I'm sorry, but we can give you one more hug before we go?" that last part ended as a question and Harry rushed up to her and gave her a very long and tight hug.

"I will miss you Auntie," he said grabbing his things from her and headed over to the pillar where he saw the light.

"We love you Harry and don't forget that!" Petunia said.

Harry waved his hand before disappearing into the pillar.

When he emerged it was like chaos as people rushed to get kids onto the train. Harry quickly ushered into people as they constantly bumped and shoved to get everything onboard. As he walked around trying to get his bearings he could hear the sounds of the conductor yelling for an 'All Aboard!' not too far off.

Harry sighed as he quickly made his way towards the train his hand in his pocket to try and control his nervousness.

He had never been away from his family before, and he was very nervous by it. And just to show his nervousness he would often times change his vision to see the people in colors to stay safe. As he neared the train however his sights caught something he thought he only saw back home.

There was a person standing there was glowing red.

Their red aura was sudden as Harry backed away slowly trying to get closer to the train before he was in trouble. Switching back to normal vision he was suddenly assaulted by the sight of a rather pompous looking man as he stared at the train. His features were dark as his appearance, He showed an air of arrogance that can only be described as something that Harry could not place his foot on. It was a cold air that reeks of no good.

He wore very lavish robes with his portly belly sticking out and his light strawberry red hair greased down like it has never been washed. Harry was certain that this man was not out to kill him.

That is until the man turned towards Harry.

It was also then that Harry faintly noticed the cross protruding from the man's robes.

His aunt warned him about the cross.

It was not the Christian Cross that he became familiar with. Rather is was the red cross that his aunt made him remember for the rest of his life. A cross with all sides evenly put out with split ends.

The cross of a Crusader...

The Cross of the Knights Templar.

Suddenly the man came towards Harry and the boy was shaking from his head to his toe.

"Is there something wrong boy?" he asked him.

Harry shook his head though he knows that something was wrong.

"Well why were you staring at me like that?" the man asked.

"I wasn't staring at you honest I was just wondering if you could...um help me for I seem to have lost my trunk and owl cage," Harry quickly replied.

"No doubt one of the conductors has already loaded it onto the train. Tell me boy what is your name?" he asked.

Harry had to think quickly before this man could do him harm. Never fall for their tricks Harry for Templars are known for their silvery tongues and gile nature. Treat every word he says with distrust and caution and when the time is right run his aunt's words spoke in his head when she would ask him to look for the red people.

She also told him that when he is fully trained he would be able to defend himself from men such as these. Right now however Harry has to be twice as tricky to avoid being taken by this man.

"My name is...think Harry think...Thorin! Thorin Oakenshield my mother was as seamstress and my father was a wine maker," Harry said trying to sound convincing.

Thank you for having me read The Hobbit Aunt Petunia Harry thought as the man looked him over.

"Well Thorin I have never heard of you mother and father before?" the man said.

"Um they are not well known because they live so far from everyone. Mother had me just before she lost her ability to have children. She is rather up there in years," Harry said trying to back away as the whistle started to blow.

"I better get going the train is about to leave," Harry said as he started to walk away into the crowd.

"Where do you think you're going boy? I thought you wanted to find your trunk?" the man asked.

"You said so yourself the conductor probably put it on the train. So I am going to ask him if he has seen it so if you would excuse me," Harry said as he started to make his way towards the train.

Hide in plain sight! Hide in plain sight! Harry thought to himself as he recited the second tenant of the Creed.

The man continued to chase him as Harry ducked and weaved amongst the gathering of magicals and only noticed that they had thinned since he had gotten here. As he neared the train the man began to run much to Harry's dismay and so he too began to run.

"Come back here kid!" he said to Harry as the boy ran as fast as his legs could carry him thanking his Aunt for making him run with weights on his legs. The weights helped to strengthen his legs and make them stronger. Which in turn makes him faster.

Harry ran as fast as he could and was surprised that the portly man could keep up with him even with his great weight. Then again his aunt did warn that magicals were more physically fit then they appeared. Harry saw the train start to move as the whistle was blown. The man quickly tried to catch up to Harry as the boy ran through the crowds before seeing a pile of crates off to the side and quickly climbed up them and across the beams hoping to catch the train.

The man was surprisingly agile as he too struggled up the crates to catch Harry. The boy ran as fast as he could across the beams to the surprise of many magicals.

"Get back here you little menace," he said.

Leaping from the beam Harry then did a front flip and landed on the roof of the train. The train quickly picked up speed as it sped away from the station. Just before the last cart left the building the man leaped onto the train and Harry found himself staring at the man in fear.

"Where are you running off to Thorin?" the man said. It was with luck that the wind hid Harry's scar or else he would know instantly who it was that he was addressing.

"Why are you following me?" Harry demanded as they are on the roof of the train.

"I don't know maybe I like little boys that all," he said and Harry knew instantly that this was a low level Templar. His aunt told him as much. Low levels usually are the scum of the organization the lawless bunch who do the dirty work. They are also more prone to do nasty things...like hurt little boys.

Harry knew that he was in trouble and bolted across the roof of the train towards the windows.

MEANWHILE

Draco and Ron had finally found each other and were talking about the upcoming year at Hogwarts. One of the topics they were talking about was Harry Potter.

"I've heard that Harry Potter is attending this year at Hogwarts," Ron said.

"So," Draco replied.

"What do you mean 'So' he is the 'Boy who Lived' the most famous Wizard in all of Britain," said Ron.

"Ronald he was only a baby when it happened! He probably doesn't remember anything about Voldemort. I've heard that he was raised in the Muggle World so he probably doesn't know that he is popular," Draco replied.

"You're probably right. Maybe we can be make friends with him?" Ron said.

"Yeah show him the fun stuff about the wizarding world," Draco said with a smirk.

Just then they heard footsteps on the roof of the car and looking outside at the trees the shadow of the train formed on the trunks and leaves as they passed. Both Ron and Draco looked at each other before looking outside at the shadows.

MEANWHILE

Harry was frozen at the sight of the man coming closer. The man then made a grab at Harry only to have him leap away from him over the side of the train. The man ran towards the side only to find that boy gone. Trying to run off the train he did not see the form right under him until the last minute.

Harry clung to one of the windows while the man looked down at him.

"Well Thorin I would say that this was a most extravagant day isn't it?" The man said leering.

Harry clung to the window as he tried to crawl away from the man towards the nearest door. The windows did not give him much in the way of hand purchases but years of freerunning and Parkour training have him gripping even the tiniest cracks.

By now the other students began to notice the boy clinging to the window and the shadow of a man on the edge. Most began to panic as they saw the boy clinging on for dear life.

MEANWHILE

Both Ron and Draco heard the other kids shouting and both pulled open the window to see what the noise was about.

There clinging to the window was a boy trying to escape the clutches of a man on the roof. He was trying to move but there was a lack of purchase.

"Shit Ron we need to help him!" Draco said switching to Eagle Vision like how his uncle Severus taught him. What he saw was something that he thought he would never see.

The boy was shining bright blue but the man above them was red. Switching back he looked up at the man and barely could make out something on his neck.

"What is it Drake?" Ron asked from where he was trying to see outside.

"Ron hand me your viewer?" he said

Ron reached into his pocket and pulled out his telescope that Percy had given him the year before. Taking the thing in his hands he zoomed in on the necklace the man had.

The red cross was all he saw.

"Shit!" Draco cursed as he gotten in.

"What?" Ron asked.

"We got to help the boy there is a Templar on the roof of the train," Draco said.

"What?" Ron shot up and Draco was running out of the door with Ron in pursuit.

Both boys ran down the cars till at last they came to the car with the boy clinging to the window. Ron ran to the window while the other kids were watching and pulled it open. The wind blew as they pulled the boy into the car and shut the window behind them. The boy was huffing and puffing as he was helped up.

"Thanks," he said

"No problem," Draco said as he shook hands with him.

"No time to chat mates, looks like our large friend outside is about to come down after us," Ron said pointing to the shadow.

"Crap we need to hide him," Draco said as they ran back to their own car.

"I can hide up there," the boy said and quickly leaped onto the baggage shelf and hid behind the bags. Both boys sat down to pretend like nothing happened. Ron pulled out a few Exploding Snap Cards and they started to play.

It was about ten minutes later that a man came walking through the train looking for something. He opened the door and looked at the two boys before disappearing down the track. Ron quickly gotten up to look out the door.

The man was walking away from their box. He waited till he had gotten to the next box before breathing a sigh of relief as he closed the door.

"Ok he is gone you can come out now," Ron said to the other boy.

Moving the bags aside the boy leaped back down and sat down much to his relief.

"That was close," the boy said.

"I should say you gave us a scare then mate," Ron said as he sat down.

"What is a boy like you doing on the train roof with that man chasing you?" Draco asked.

"I was making sure that I was not being followed," the boy said. Draco noticed his dark hair was disheveled and sticking out all over the place. His bangs hid his eyes a bit till the boy moved them out of the way.

And that is when he noticed the scar for the first time.

Both Draco and Ron gasped when they saw the scar for the first time.

"You're Harry Potter!" Ron blurted which earned a slap on the back of the head from Draco.

"What was that for!" Ron protested and Draco rolled his eyes, "Forgive my imbecile of a friend he tends to forget his manners. I am Draco Malfoy and this is Ronald Weasley glad to be of service to you Mr. Potter," Draco said a little more politely.

"Thank you for the help that man tried to use me. You see I was looking for any possible danger when I ran into him. I faked my name so he does not know who I was and tried to board the train, but he followed me and you know the rest," Harry replied.

"That man was a Templar and those bloody bastards should be thrown off the train next time," Ron said which earned him an elbow from Draco.

"You and your mouth!" Draco hissed.

"He is one of us Drake I can tell for no other kid can run on the top of the train like that and climb off the side." Ron explained.

Draco eyed him before showing his hand with the left ring finger lowered, "Nothing is true," he said.

Harry repeated the gesture, "Everything is Permitted," was the reply.

Draco was stunned to say the least the most famous wizard around was an Assassin in training just like them! He looked at Harry closer and found that the boy indeed carried himself like an Assassin. Humble but trying to blend in and it was then that they all felt something was wrong.

The door suddenly swung open and the Templar they are trying to avoid came storming through the car and grabbed Harry from his collar.

"I have you Thorin!" he said holding the boy up and Harry struggled against his grip screaming at the man to let him go. Then remembering his training kicked the man as hard as he could in the groin.

The man fell down in pain while Draco slammed the man's head with the door. The man fell back on the other side of the door while Draco slammed it shut and locked it.

"We need to get out of here!" Ron said

"Thorin? As in Thorin Oakenshield From the Hobbit?" Draco said over at Harry.

"Hey I could not tell him my real name," Harry said.

The man tried to get at the three of them when Ron opened the window and the three of them climbed out. Seeing the boys suddenly leave the train he took off after them. They crawled along the windows to the surprise of the students in the other cars. The Templar was once again on the roof of the train trying to get a hold of them as he ran along the length of the train.

"You boys will make fine entertainment this evening!" he said.

"You don't know who I am do you!" Draco shouted up at him.

"Why are you running then?" he said when he finally pulled his wand and Accio all three boys to him.

Since now no one can see him the Templar bound them all together with a flick of his wand. Licking his lips he moved closer to them a happy smile on his face.

"I would not touch me if I were you if my father hears about this you will pay dearly!" Draco shouted at him giving a glance at the other two.

"I don't care if your father happens to be the Minister of Magic I will have my fun with you boys. Then I will see if they are any willing girls before I have to make my report which I am omitting the part about having fun," he said.

The three boys glared at him as he moved first to Harry as he backed away.

"But first I will have my fun with you Thorin," he said as he grabbed Harry.

The wind blew away from his head so unfortunately it also revealed his scar. Shocked the man dropped Harry again.

"Shit! You're Harry Potter!" he said in surprise.

"And I am Draco Malfoy son of Lucius Malfoy you git now let us go!" Draco shouted at him.

The man however turned towards them with an evil gleam in his eye as he grabbed Harry again.

"I don't think so! I've always wanted to taste the flesh of the famous Harry Potter it makes me drool with lust thinking of it." the man said as he started to lick at Harry's bound form.

Disgusted Harry struggled but the binding spell he was under rendered him useless. Then just as he felt the man reach for him something happened.

"REDUCTO!" someone shouted and the Templar was thrown off but not before grabbing onto the next car.

Another wizard came running towards them his wand out and ready to fight. He was joined by a witch both of them ready for combat.

The Templar rose from the car and glared at them. He then started to fire spells at them but the two only fought back as best they could. The wizard was the one doing the fighting while the witch came to help them out of the binds. Waving her wand she freed them and they quickly scrambled up and away from the fighting.

But the Templar was not done with them yet.

Casting a spell he made the train slippery as the boys tripped and slid along the edge of the cars. The other two magicals tried to catch them only for the kids to fall from the train and catch onto a waiting hand.

A feminine hand caught them as they were pulled back towards the train. It was another witch as she was being held by another wizard and then a witch. Quickly they pulled the trio into their car. When they gotten in they were huffing and puffing.

The witch who saved them quickly shut the window and drew the privacy blinds to shut off their compartment from the rest. All three of them were out of breath but they could hear the battle going on above them. It was when an explosion happened that all was quiet again.

"Thank you," Harry gasped.

"No problem we saw you were in trouble and had to help," the witch who grabbed him said.

She had brown hair that was wild and curly hanging down her face. It was windswept and untamed but they did not mind. The other kids one overweight and clearly frightened of them held his toad to him. The third was a dark skinned kid who looked totally out of place among the sets of white. The last kid the kid they did not notice a wizard from the looks of it was still out of breath so he probably was the anchor.

All of them looked like first years just like them as the boys quickly gotten up.

"Thank you for your help my lady," Draco said bowing and Ron muttered a thanks before the three of them took their time to leave.

As soon as they were in the hallway they saw the young wizard and witch who helped them.

He was a tall wizard with dark hair and fair skin. His brown eyes shown through as he came forward and looked at the three of them. "What happened?" the boy asked.

They went back to their compartment and Harry explained what happened to him at King's Cross Station while the two listened. The trio learned that their names were Oliver Wood and Andrea Wilkson two Prefects that were assigned to their car. It was Oliver who first noticed the stranger running through the car and had alerted Andrea. When they saw the boys from the window they knew that they were in trouble.

"So what did happen to the man?" Harry asked

"He quickly apparated when he found that we were a match for him," Oliver replied.

"The question is how did you guys do that whole window thing? I mean not even I can grip the windows without some sort of sticking charm and this train is spelled against such acts," Andrea said.

"It takes skill and practice that is all we can tell you without revealing too much," Draco replied.

"I see...I will not speak of it to anyone then as it stands this conversation stays in this cart until we deem it safe to converse with anyone," Andrea said.

"Yeah, um are you going to tell the other kids the same thing. The ones that saved our lives then?" Harry asked.

"Yes, we will be talking to them too," Oliver replied as he and Andrea walked out of the booth to resume their duties.

When the three of them were alone they breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought for sure we had to kill them," Ron said.

"We don't kill innocents and they are innocent," Draco replied to him.

"Oh, that's good then," Ron replied which earned him a cuff to the back of the head, "Hey!" he said glaring at Draco.

"You bloody idiot you have eagle vision too why didn't you use it?" Draco demanded.

"Um...I forgot," Ron said.

"Eagle vision?" Harry asked

"You know when you see people's aura to see if they are friend or foe. You know when a man glows red he is an enemy, if he is blue then he is an ally," Draco replied.

"Oh! So that is what it is called," Harry said with realization.

"Your aunt never told you that?" Ron asked.

"My aunt does not have the ability and she could not teach me much because we were constantly watched by Templars." Harry explained.

"That is why you are so nervous," Draco said in thought.

"Do you think Uncle Severus will let him train with us?" Ron said.

"Uncle Severus?" Harry said.

"Well when we get there we have to address him as 'Professor Snape' but he teaches Potions at Hogwarts. He is my Godfather and I think of him as an uncle of sorts." Draco explained.

"He is also our Mentor so he knows a few things about how to be...you know what we are," Ron whispered in case someone was listening in.

"Will he be the one to teach me then?" Harry said.

"Probably he did mention that he was getting a few new recruits to help with the cause at school like he does every year," Draco said.

"Well I am glad I am not alone then," replied Harry and then he took out his hand for a handshake. "We haven't properly introduced ourselves so I will do so right now," Harry said.

"Hi I am Harry, Harry Potter pleasure to meet you," he said and shook their hands.

"Draco, Draco Malfoy it's a pleasure Mr. Potter," Draco replied and shook his hand.

"Ronald, Ronald Weasley but my friends call me Ron, Pleasure," he said shaking hands.

The rest of the ride was thankfully uneventful as the boys were kept busy talking about the upcoming new year.

As the train neared the station all three boys changed into their robes and thankfully the departure was uneventful. After the excitement of the trip the boys felt it was a much needed relief for the upcoming year to come.

TBC

a/n: And there you have it people Harry meets his first Templar though a low ranking one. The idea came when I was playing Assassin's Creed 3 and saw the way Charles Lee addressed Connor when he was a child before burning his village. So there you have it for those who are asking. And at last Ron and Draco meet Harry for the first time.

So I hope you like this latest installment of 'THE BLACK EAGLE'
