Thanks for waiting! This is the last chapter for two weeks! Otter-chan is off to vacation. This rambles slightly, but I hope that you can wait. I hope that I will have a chapter written when I come back... planes are good for writing!
Reviews and Happy reading!
Allen swallowed. "O-ok." He pointed his wand at the fat raven sitting in front of him, making loud, cackling crowing and whispered 'Silencio'. The raven looked like someone had removed its voice box. Opening its beak wide, it attempted to caw. Not a sound was heard.
"Mister Walker, are you sure that this is the very first time you have used a wand?" Professor Flitwick asked. Everyone at the table was staring at him. He looked from Lenalee, who was staring at him with wide eyes, but a proud look, to Ron and Harry, who looked stunned, to Hermione. She was beaming widely at him.
"Y-yeah I'm sure! I've never done magic before!" Allen stuttered, looking from one person to another then at the raven, which was now glaring at him.
"I must tell Professor Dumbledore about you!" the short professor squeaked and scurried away, checking on the other students. Allen stared after him with a blank, surprised expression.
Lenalee and the three wizards stared at Allen for a few moments until he gave a violent twitch.
"Allen, you ok, mate?" Ron asked, looked at him. Allen nodded distractedly, but had stuffed his gloved hand in his hood. They heard a small beating against the fabric.
"You got Timcanpy in there?" Harry asked, staring at the raven before him. Allen grunted, shoving Tim's tail back into his coat.
"So Allen, what does it feel like to be able to do magic?" Hermione asked. Allen turned to her and blinked.
"It's… odd. I felt something."
"You're lucky! First try at the spell, damn, first try at magic and you get it to work!" Ron said, waving his wand absentmindedly.
"Ron, stop," Hermione said, taking hold of his wand. He gave her a questioning look. "You were making sparks."
Ron made a silent 'oh' and stopped his wand waving. "I'm gonna give this another try!" he declared, pointing his wand at the toad and saying 'Silencio'. It didn't work.
"Gr.… why can you guys do it and not me?" he said angrily as he glared at the toad.
"It was just luck for me Ron, don't worry!" Harry said, looking at his raven.
"Mister Potter, try again!" Professor Flitwick said, pointing his wand at Harry's raven and removing the 'Silencio' charm. The raven gave a loud caw. Harry frowned, then pointed his wand at the now cawing raven.
"Silencio!" he said. The raven cawed louder. "Ah… guess that was just luck. I'm with you Ron." Ron laughed.
"Well Allen, guess you're just a natural!" Harry said to Allen. Allen grinned.
"Wonder where everyone else is…" he murmured. Lenalee heard him.
"Well, I bet Krory's down in the Greenhouses and Miranda and Komui are probably in the library again. I saw Kanda somewhere near the transfiguration hallway a little earlier and Lavi's with Fred and George. Where they are, I haven't the faintest idea though," Lenalee said, going through the list of Exorcists.
"Yeah… oh and—" Allen was cut off by the bell. Professor Flitwick hurried over, taking the wands from the two Exorcists and telling them that he hoped they would come by again and try some charms out.
"Where are you guys off to next?" Lenalee asked the three wizards as they exited the Charms classroom.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts," Harry said flatly. He looked as if he'd much rather be in any other class than the class of Professor Umbridge.
"Oh, well, good luck then!" Allen said, smiling. "You'll need it!"
"Why thanks! So I take it that you won't be coming with us?" Ron asked. Lenalee and Allen smiled and shook their heads in unison.
"See you later at lunch!" Lenalee said, waving at the group as they trudged to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with most of the Charms class. "Come on Allen, lets look around and see if we—"
She stopped speaking when Allen clapped his hands to his head.
"Allen? Are you alright?"
"Gh… m-my head!" he muttered, gritting his teeth. "W-won't s-stop! I-I feel… dizzy." He slumped and leaned against the wall, holding his head. Lenalee's eyes widened in shock and fear.
"Allen!"
A moment passed with Allen leaning against the wall. At one point it looked like he was going to pass out, but he stayed up. Then as suddenly as it had started, the pain was gone. He let go of his head. His hands were shaking.
"Allen, what happened?" Lenalee asked as he slid down to the floor with a sigh.
"I-I don't know. All of a sudden my head felt like it was gonna burst or something. I-its gone now," Allen muttered.
"Come on," Lenalee said, offering her hand. He took it and she helped him up. "Lets go find my brother and tell him about this. Maybe he knows something."
Allen nodded and let Lenalee lead him to the library. Allen had never been to the library before and what he saw amazed him. Shelves upon shelves of books, all the way up to the very high ceiling. Lenalee led him through tables over to a table covered in books. She peered around a pile.
"Nii-san!" Lenalee whispered. Komui's head poked out from the mountain of books.
"Lenalee! How's my dear sister? And Allen. Allen, you don't look so good," Komui said, pushing his glasses farther up his nose and looking at the boy closely. Allen blinked at him.
"That's why we're here, Nii-san," Lenalee said.
"Hm? Why?" Komui asked, coming out from the books.
"Just a few minutes ago, my head hurt… really bad. But then it went away all of a sudden," Allen explained, rubbing his eyes.
"He almost passed out," Lenalee added. "Allen, maybe you should sit down." Allen nodded again and sat down.
"Hm… that's odd. Where were you?" Komui asked.
"Outside the Charms class. We popped in. Professor Flitwick let us try this silencing charm. I didn't really get it but Allen did. First try and everything, but anyway. We were just standing there when his head started hurting!" Lenalee explained, taking a chair next to the white-haired exorcist.
"Allen did a spell?" Komui shook his head, getting back on track, "Well, I don't know. Does it hurt now Allen?"
Allen shook his head. "No. But I really have no idea why it hurt like that. It's never happened before."

A girl in a Ravenclaw uniform grinned as she watched the white-haired boy and the Chinese girl walk toward the library. She pulled back from where she had been leaning around the corner and looked at the boy next to her.
"It worked," she whispered. He grinned.

Lavi was dozing with his head on his hand in the library. He had been asked to leave the class that he had been in, Potions, with Fred and George because he had been 'distracting the other students' as Professor Snape had said.
He jerked himself out of his stupor when he heard Allen's voice. Lifting his head, he looked around and spotted the familiar snowy white head. He stood up and wandered over Allen.
"Hey Allen. Oh hi Lenalee!" Lavi said, sitting down next to his fellow exorcists.
"Hello Lavi. I thought you were hanging out with Fred and George," Allen said, rubbing his eyes.
"I was!" Lavi said cheerfully, "But apparently I was 'distracting the other students' and was told to leave!"
"Wow Lavi… you never cease to amaze me."
"What's wrong Allen? You look pale," the one eyed exorcist said, looking closely at Allen.
"He almost passed out," Lenalee said. Lavi just frowned slightly, making an 'oh' noise.
"Is it lunch yet?" Allen asked suddenly. Lavi, Lenalee and Komui all turned to look at him.
"Uh, no. There's still at least 45 minutes until lunch," Lenalee said, staring at him. Allen sighed. "Nii-san, is there anything we can do to help? There's nothing for us to do."
"Yes, you can help Miranda and I with research about the Innocence and odd things around the school," Komui said.

"Ug… That was boring," Lavi complained as the three exorcists exited the library for lunch. They had been reading for the entire time. Allen had actually fallen asleep on his book.
Allen sneezed. "I swear that I'm allergic to that book," he said, sneezing once more.
"That's only because you fell asleep on it and you breathed in dust," Lenalee said playfully.
"I was tired!" he said indignantly. Lenalee just laughed, shaking her head.
"Wait guys!" the three turned when they heard Miranda's voice. She ran to catch up with them. "Thanks," she said breathlessly.
"So you're free from Komui's clutches?" Lavi asked Miranda. She nodded.
"For now at least!" she said as they headed toward the Great Hall. She sighed. "Gosh those books are dusty… Allen, you have dust in your hair."
"I do?"
"Yes. You can see it really easily on the white of our hair," Lenalee said, pointing out a spot.
"Can you get it out?" he asked her. She dusted his head, producing a small cloud of the grit.
Allen and Lenalee both coughed. "Allen, how'd you get that much in your hair? You'd have to have a book on top of your head!" Miranda commented.
At that, Lavi laughed. "That's because he did!"
"Only because you put it on my head!" Allen shot at the red-haired exorcist. Miranda and Lenalee laughed.
"No I didn't! You fell asleep on your book and… another one fell onto your head!" Lavi blurted out, not making much sense. Allen raised an eyebrow.
"Guilty conscience?" Allen asked. Lavi just grinned.
"Awe well… but you're way more fun to make fun of than anyone else. Although Yu is pretty fun to tease to," said Lavi.
"Ya, I'd bet so," Lenalee muttered.
"Come on! I'm starving!" Allen urged, quickening his pace.
"Hey Allen, Lenalee!" the two exorcists turned to see Harry, Ron and Hermione coming up to them. Lavi and Miranda had paused as well and were now looking at the three 5th years.
"How was Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Lenalee asked the three wizards.
"Boring as usual," Ron muttered. "I'm starved!"
"Me too!" Allen said, rushing into the Great Hall. Ron followed quickly as well. Harry looked at Hermione then followed more slowly. Hermione, Lenalee and Miranda looked at each other while the two boys rushed toward the table, Harry following slowly.

"Why me?! Why do I have to be stuck here with the dumb level 1's?" one of the Akuma left behind fumed. The leader's eyes flicked up to the Akuma.
"Stop complaining. You know why. You have to wait. The time will come for you," the leader hissed, showing her fangs.
"Gr… really, why couldn't I have gone with Ghost and Widow?" the Akuma asked.
"Yes, you missed all the fun."
The Akuma spun around to see Ghost and Widow coming into the clearing.
"Silk, you would have loved it," Widow said smoothly.
"Did you get to kill someone?"
"No you dimwit."
Oh I love not giving anything away. So, hope you liked it. Alittle shorter than normal, but I think that you shall live. Im sorry that there wont be another chapter for 2 weeks.
