The Grey Assassins:
Chapter 11
The next day, Harry and Daphne woke up at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. Life was good. Sure, they were at Hogwarts and were playing a game of deception against almost all of the students and faculty, but it didn't matter. They at least had each other. Plus, they had Severus and Draco. Life was pretty good.
'You guys going to lie there all day making googly eyes at each other? Because if you are, let me know so I can spare myself by leaving.' Umbra asked.
Harry and Daphne's cheeks turned pink at Umbra's question and got out of bed. Daphne went into the bathroom to change while Harry did so in the bedroom.
'Sorry about that.' Harry said.
'It's all right, but please don't do that again while we're here.' Umbra replied.
'We?' Daphne asked as she came out dressed the same as yesterday.
'Yeah, Zeus and the other two that are here.' Umbra said.
"The dragons!" Harry said with wide eyes. 'They hatched?'
'Yeah, they hatched right before you woke up.' Umbra replied nonchalantly.
Harry and Daphne ran into their living room, and Harry unlocked the gate with a wave of his hand. They then looked into the fireplace and were amazed.
You could easily tell which dragon came from which egg. Daphne's familiar had four legs, and its scales and wings were pale blue with straight, pure white horns on the back of its head. The tail was lined with bits of white bone protruding. At the end of the tail was a sharp arrowhead piece of bone colored the same as the other pieces of bone. The dragon's snout was narrowed and elongated, and its ears barely protruded from the sides of the head and were pointed like an elf's.
Harry's familiar had the same body, tail, and wings as Daphne's in shape. Its body, tail, and wings were black, however, and the wings had streaks of blood red sprouting from the front of the wings. The underside was colored the same as the top. Also, Harry's dragon had the same type of head but had scales running from behind the ears to halfway between where the horns began and where the horns ended in sharp points. The whole head was black including the horns. Pure white fangs could be seen when it had its mouth closed. Harry's dragon even as a baby looked fearsome and quite powerful.
Harry put his hands into the fire and took hold of his dragon. He was not burned because of his elemental powers. The dragon immediately cuddled up to Harry as if it had known Harry its whole life, which it pretty much had.
As soon as Harry removed his dragon, Daphne's dragon opened its mouth causing the flames to stop and the logs to frost over. Daphne removed then removed her dragon and what happened with Harry and his dragon happened to her and her dragon.
"I'll contact Draco and let him know we won't be exercising with him today." Harry said. Daphne nodded, and Harry had his gauntlet appear. He activated the communication function, and a holographic screen appeared with Draco's face. The gauntlet saw through other gauntlets' disguises.
"Where are you, Harry? You two are already five minutes late." Draco asked.
"I'm sorry, Draco, but we can't exercise today. Our dragons hatched right before we woke up or so Umbra says." Harry explained.
"They hatched? That's great. You know what, screw exercising. Where's your suite? I'm coming over." Draco said excitedly.
"We're on the third floor behind a portrait of a knight on a winged horse. I'll set my tracking beacon to be picked up only by your gauntlet to help you." Harry said with a smile before he commanded his gauntlet to do what he just said.
"I'll be there in a second." Draco said before he ended the communiqué.
"What should we name them?" Daphne asked.
"Well, we should each name our own. You'll know which one is right. It'll feel natural." Harry said. "You go first." Daphne nodded and sat quietly for a few moments in thought.
Finally, she spoke, "Her name is Regina. It's queen in Latin."
Harry smiled and said, "His name is Rex. It's king in Latin." At a questioning look from Daphne, he elaborated, "I thought about his name while you were thinking about her name."
Before anything else could be said, there was a knock at the door.
Harry used his magic to pull the door open. A second later, Draco came in and closed the door behind him.
"Hey. What'd I miss?" He asked.
"We named them. That's it." Harry replied.
"So what are their names?" Draco asked impatiently.
"Here's Regina," Daphne began, "and here's Rex." Harry finished.
Draco nodded his liking of the dragon names before he said, "I have two things to say. First, please do not finish each other's sentences ever again. It's creepy. Second of all Harry, you suck at naming. I mean really? Rex? You are so creative."
"I didn't name him it because it's popular. I named him it because it means 'king' in Latin, asshole." Harry snapped back. Harry's cursing earned him a punch to the shoulder.
"What! He is one!" Harry received another punch to the shoulder.
"All right, all right! I'll stop!" Harry said. Daphne nodded her approval.
"So you want to contact Hogwarts castle now that you have some time?" Draco asked moving on.
"Good idea. If I don't, Severus will probably kill me for not focusing on the mission." Harry paused for a second appearing to be in thought. "Nah, he loves me too much."
Draco chuckled and Daphne shook her head at Harry's statement.
"Okay. Here I go." Harry said before he went into a trance-like state.
'Hogwarts? This is your lord speaking. I am the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. Will you answer me?' Harry asked in a proud voice.
'I am here, milord. I answer to you and you alone.' A feminine voice that had to be Hogwarts responded.
'Thank you, I appreciate that. Do you obey the headmaster?' Harry asked.
'I did until now. Your call has changed this, though. I am in fully in your service.' Hogwarts answered.
'That is good, but I need you to obey Dumbledore until I tell you not to. He cannot know that I know about my heritage. I do ask that you tell me the goings on with him and the rest of the castle, though.' Harry commanded.
'I will obey, though reluctantly at your command of secrecy. Is there anything else, milord?' Hogwarts questioned.
'Yes, there are three things. First, I want you to answer to my soul mate, Daphne Greengrass as well as my descendants. This list may be added to in the future depending on some circumstances. Second of all, I want you to call me Harry unless I tell you not to. The same goes for Daphne. Lastly, I want you to give me a full map of the castle and its grounds including the secret passages. Do you know of the Marauders' Map?' Harry asked.
'Yes I do, Harry. It's in Filch's office currently. Do you want me to make your map like it except that it includes all of Hogwarts and its grounds?' Hogwarts asked.
'Yes, that would be great. The only other things for it would be that the password for it is 'Kill first or be killed' and that the map can be copied effectively.' Harry said.
'It'll be done, Harry. As soon as you wake from our conversation it shall be in your hand. Do you need anything else from me?' Hogwarts asked.
'No, I have no more orders for you right now. I will call on you again when I need a report or have more orders for you. Good bye for now.' Harry said.
'Good bye, Harry.' Hogwarts said before Harry woke to find himself back with Draco and Daphne.
"Hey guys. How long was I out?" He asked.
"About five minutes." Draco answered before he asked, "What's that in your hand, Harry?"
Harry then realized he had a piece of parchment in his hand. "I present the Assassins' Map."
"You managed to finish two of Severus's orders at one time? You lucky bastard." Draco responded. He earned his own punch from Daphne.
"Daphne, stop hitting us. It's getting a little ridiculous. Cursing is just words that we use to express ourselves." Harry pleaded.
Daphne paused for a moment before she said, "All right, but please try to contain it around the others, okay?"
Harry and Draco nodded.
"So, let's have a look at it Harry." Draco said to break the silence.
Harry smiled and waved his hand over the parchment while reciting the password.
"Why 'Kill first or be killed'?" Draco asked.
"It seemed like a good motto for our era of the Grey Assassins." Harry responded. "Now let's see what we have here."
The map was very impressive. It didn't just include the castle and the grounds but also included the loch and the Forbidden Forest. What was also amazing was the amount of secret passages and that the map showed the paths they used. Also, the map showed the secret rooms of the castle like the Chamber of Secrets, the Room of Requirement, and the marriage suites.
"Wow! I guess we don't need to get the Marauders' Map after all." Draco said in wonder.
"Marauders' Map?" Daphne asked.
"My father was in a group with three other Gryffindors that were in his year. One of them is dead, another is in Azkaban for killing him, and the last one is missing. While they were in school and all together, they were mischievous pranksters who were legendary for their pranks. They created the Marauders' Map since that was the name of their group: the Marauders. And Draco, we are still getting their map. We can't allow anyone else to get it. It's too dangerous in the wrong hands." Harry said.
"All right, when do we move?" Draco asked with a small sigh.
"Right now. It's only 6:30. Filch is on the seventh floor, and the map is in his office. We'll shadow travel to get there quicker. Hold on to me." Harry said in a quick general-like voice.
Draco complied with Harry's instructions, and Harry shadow traveled them away without another word. A second later, they arrived outside the caretaker's office.
"Stand guard while I get the map. Stay invisible, though." Harry said before Draco nodded before turning invisible. Harry then entered the office.
'Where is it?' Harry thought as he scanned the office for the weathered piece of parchment. Finally, he saw it on top of a stack of Fanged Frisbees. He went over and picked up before he put his right wand up to it and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
Words and lines slowly became visible on the parchment, but before they could fully develop, Harry quickly said, "Mischief managed." And put the parchment away.
Harry quickly walked out of the office and closed the door behind him. He nodded to where he last saw Draco, and then felt a weight on his back and shadow traveled away.
Harry and Draco arrived back in the living room of Harry and Daphne's marriage suite three minutes after they left.
"You guys found it?" Daphne asked.
"Yep. Now to hide it." Harry said. He then walked over to a rug in the center of the room and pushed it aside. Underneath, he saw wooden floorboards. Harry then pulled up one and stuck the Marauders' Map inside. Before he did that, though, he turned the map invisible with a long lasting charm. With all that done he returned the board and the rug to their original places.
"Now that that's done, you guys want to have some fun?" Harry asked.
Draco grinned and Daphne had a concerned look on her face.
"What kind of fun?" Daphne asked aware of Harry's previous pranks.
"Don't worry, we won't kill anybody… probably." Harry said with a grin on his face.
"Harry…" Daphne warned.
"All we're going to do is bring our familiars to the Great Hall and have breakfast. It'll be fun to see people's faces. Besides, I don't want to leave Rex and Regina alone. They did just hatch, and it'll be suspicious for us to disappear on a school day." Harry explained.
Daphne then grinned. This was going to be fun.
"Okay. I just wanted to make sure you guys didn't do anything extremely dangerous." Daphne explained.
"Don't worry, Daph. I won't get into something I can't handle." Harry said before he gave her a hug that said 'thank you for caring.'
"Now let's go scare some kids!" Harry said with the grin back on his face. "Umbra, Zeus get in here! You don't want to miss this!"
Not even a second later, Umbra came running in followed by Zeus who was also making great time. Zeus slithered up Harry's arm and hid in his shirt with his head protruding from the collar. Umbra waited by Harry's side. Harry picked up Rex, and Daphne picked up Regina.
"Wait, am I coming with you guys?" Draco asked confused.
"Yeah, we can say you were friends with Daphne, so you're friends with me. That'll piss off Dumbledore." Harry said with a chuckle.
Draco's grin got bigger as he thought of what Dumbledore's face would look like. "All right, let's go."
"Wait, we have to change first. Meet us at the entrance to the Great Hall." Harry said before he and Daphne ran into their bedroom, closed the door, and quickly dressed out of their exercise clothes and dressed into their school robes. Zeus had slithered out when Harry closed the door. Neither of them noticed that they had just undressed and dressed in front of the other. With that done, Harry used a cleaning spell on both their mouths, so they didn't have to brush. They then picked up their dragons and left the marriage suite.
Zeus and Umbra hurried up behind them. Zeus managed to slither up Harry's leg and then stay in his shirt like he had before when the stairs were in the wrong direction for a moment. After that, the staircase seemed to be in perfect alignment for Harry and Daphne. When they arrived downstairs, it was seven o'clock, and Draco was there, waiting for them.
"Ready to turn some heads?" Harry asked, the grin back on his face.
"Yeah. You want Slytherin or Gryffindor?" Draco asked.
"Gryffindor because we might not be so welcomed by the Slytherin upperclassmen." Harry said.
"Good idea." Draco responded before the group entered the empty hall and sat down where Harry and Daphne usually sat. Daphne was on Harry's left, and Draco was across from Daphne.
They ate quickly, so that their food wouldn't be spoiled when the other Gryffindors came down. Harry and Daphne then fed their familiars.
At 7:30, the rest of the students started to come in. Many were surprised at the dragons in Harry and Daphne's arms. More were surprised that Draco was sitting with them, and the rest of the school were too tired to notice.
Seamus was the first Gryffindor first year to arrive and sat down to Harry's right. He was one of the few to not notice the dragons or Draco's seating. He then began eating. A minute later, he turned his head and nearly jumped out of his seat when he realized what many had already.
"What is this? You guys have dragons, and Malfoy is sitting here? Is this a joke?" He asked rapidly.
"No, it isn't, and I invited Draco over. I'll explain when everyone else arrives." Harry said. Seamus nodded his head. He trusted Harry. Harry knew what he was doing even if Seamus didn't.
Neville arrived next and immediately looked surprised at the dragons' presence at the Gryffindor table.
"I'll explain when Dean gets here." Harry said. Neville sat across from Harry but didn't look too happy about it.
Finally, Dean arrived. He immediately looked surprised at Draco's presence at the Gryffindor table.
"Sit down, and I'll explain everything, okay?" Harry asked rhetorically.
Dean sat down across from Seamus, and Dean and Seamus leaned in towards Harry to hear what he had to say.
"Last night after dinner, Daphne decided to invite a few of her Slytherin friends over to our suite, so I could get to know them. Draco and I became pretty good friends during it, so I invited him here this morning. He arrived early for breakfast like Daphne and I did. Please, don't treat him like many of our upperclassmen would." Harry said.
"No problem, Harry." Neville said before he turned to Draco and said, "Hi, my name's Neville."
"My name's Draco." He responded.
Seamus and Dean followed Neville's example and did the same thing except with his name.
"So, you want to explain the dragons now?" Neville asked Harry.
"I will explain an hour after our last class. Meet Daphne and me in our marriage suite. It's on the third floor behind a portrait of a knight on a winged horse. Daphne and I have to do something after our last class." Harry said. He had thought about it, and he wanted Neville, Dean, and Seamus in the Grey Assassins. Dean was very smart and with training could be good in combat. Seamus was a very devoted person and would always stand by his friends that would be excellent for the future. Neville was a mix of Seamus and Dean but also had great potential to be a leader if he would become more confident.
Harry's friends nodded and moved on to talking about how things were in Slytherin with Draco. At nine, the bell sounded and everyone left for class. The whole day, Harry and Daphne received curious looks from students and teachers. At lunch, Harry and Daphne were called into McGonagall's office for a change.
"I am beginning to realize you are going to be handful this year, mister Potter, but please tell me why you and miss Greengrass have baby dragons." She said.
"Professor, I will spare you the details of the story. These dragons are our familiars. I felt a pull on Sunday from a pet emporium. The dragon in my arms, Rex, came from the egg that summoned me. I was about to leave when the shopkeeper said that I had to take the egg that became Daphne's dragon with me too. He said it was because our dragons were soul bonded. I brought them back with me on Sunday and put them in our fireplace in our suite. Five minutes before we woke this morning for our daily exercise, the dragons hatched. At least, that is what my wolf familiar, Umbra told me over our mind link." Harry explained.
McGonagall nodded at Harry's explanation and said, "Very well, but please make sure your familiars behave. I will talk with the headmaster and see if we can make some accommodations for them. You two can return to your friends."
"Thank you, professor. I promise they will behave. Good bye." Harry and Daphne said before they left.
After their last class, Harry and Daphne went back to Severus's classroom.
"What are you two doing here?" Severus asked curiously.
"I needed to give you some updates. I contacted the castle. She is under my control but will not reveal it to the headmaster. I had her create a map of the whole castle and its grounds. It includes all of the secret passages and the secret rooms as well. It is pretty much an improved version of the Marauders' Map. I have it here." Harry said as he took out the map. "The password is 'Kill first or be killed." Harry then paused and made a copy of the map for Severus. "Here is a copy for you. I ask, though, that I will be the first in the chamber of secrets as well as the other founders' secret rooms."
"It maps those places, too?" Severus asked in wonder.
"Yes. Hogwarts was very pleased to help me." Harry responded.
Severus got over his shock, put the map away, and asked, "What of the Marauders' Map?"
Harry got it out and handed it to Severus. He had removed it before he left his suite that morning. "There it is. The password is 'I solemnly swear I am up to no good.' To close it you say, 'Mischief managed.' For my map just repeat the password." Harry explained.
"Good. Do you have anything else to report?" Severus asked.
"Yes. I have revealed my friendship with Draco, and he is welcome where I sit. Also, I am going to try to recruit Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, and Dean Thomas. They have great potential. Also, Daphne is going to be joining. Is that all right with you?" Harry asked.
"Yes. I just have one question for you." Severus said.
"Yes, Severus?" Harry asked.
"What are the names of your dragons?" He asked with a smile.
"Their names are Regina," Daphne began, "and Rex." Harry finished.
"Good names. Now I have to say good-bye. I have a potion to attend to." Severus said hurriedly.
Harry and Daphne said their good byes and left for their suite.
Ron stopped them at the entrance to the Great Hall.
"Look, it's the dirty snakes with their evil dragons, their evil cobra, and their dark wolf! Who have you killed lately?" Ron asked.
'What? I'm not good enough to be evil?' Umbra joked.
Harry and Daphne laughed at Umbra's comment.
"Oh! You think it's funny that you're evil? You won't think it's so funny when a great wizard like Dumbledore sends you back to the darkness from which you came!" Ron continued.
"What is your problem, Ronald? I have only been kind to you. Not all Slytherins are Death Eaters and are evil, and I am not evil because my familiars are a dragon, a wolf, and a King Cobra. If you really took the time to know me, you would find I am very nice. Now, if you are done insulting us, we will head back to our suite." Harry said calmly.
"What do you mean I didn't try to get to know you? I tried talking to you on the train, but you just shoved me out!" Ronald asked.
"What do you mean? I was talking to you when you saw Zeus and ran away. Plus, you didn't try to get to know me. You tried to get to know the Boy-Who-Lived. Yeah, I know. Being raised on the street, you get to know to pay attention to your surroundings, and I saw that many of the compartments on the train were empty unlike what you said. I didn't find out until I talked to some actually good people who told me why I was famous, but when they did I figured it out. That is why you talked about my scar, you wanted to become friends with a famous person, so you could be famous." Harry said getting riled up.
At Harry's comments, Ron seemed to get smaller. When Harry finished, he said in an uncaring way, "Sorry. Can we start over and be friends?"
"No, you're not. Now get out of our way and leave us alone." Harry said.
"What if I don't? Are you going to call your Slytherin friends to beat me up? Or are you going to call on my Gryffindor friends who you infected with your evil ideas and forced to reject me?" Ron asked.
"I don't have to. I could take you down with or without magic on my own. Also, the Gryffindor first years you call infected with my evil ideas were never your friends. They hate you. You are constantly acting jealous and condescending, and you have fewer manners than a pig. Also, I have already told you that not all Slytherins are evil unlike what you think. Now I'll tell you again. Get out of my way!" Harry said with a contained fury.
Ron shrank back and moved aside at Harry's last statement. Harry and Daphne then walked past him and went up the Grand Staircase towards their suite. The whole time he could see them, Ron was glaring.
Harry and Daphne arrived at their suite with no further interruptions. When they got in, Harry and Daphne put up their stuff and rested on the couch. Five minutes after they sat down to relax; there was a knock at the door. Harry didn't feel like getting up, so he used his magic to open the door.
Draco came in and sat down in an armchair. "What's wrong? You guys look like you just encountered a troll." He asked.
"Might as well have been a troll with the manners and common sense he has." Harry remarked.
"We were stopped by Ronald Weasley, and he really taxed Harry's patience." Daphne explained after seeing Draco raise a curious eyebrow.
Draco nodded. He knew what he had done to Harry.
"You want me to teach him a lesson?" Draco asked.
"Don't tempt him. He might actually take you up on that offer. He would probably help." Daphne warned.
"I won't. I know not to hurt or kill him. If I was going to do anything to him, I would just prank him, and even then he would have had to done something terrible to either of you, our friends, even somebody decent, or of course me. I have restraint." Harry defended himself.
Daphne nodded her approval. "Okay. That's fair."
"So you got approval from Severus on recruiting Neville, Seamus, and Dean?" Draco asked.
"Yeah. That's where we were after our last class. We couldn't talk long because he had to attend to a potion." Harry said.
"Cool. From talking to them this morning, I can tell they have a lot of potential." Draco said sincerely.
Right after Draco said that, there was a knock at the door. Harry looked at his gauntlet and saw the time.
"They're early by fifteen minutes." He said.
He then got up and looked through the eyehole. On the other side of the door was Dumbledore.
"It's Dumbledore. I wonder what he wants." Harry said to Draco and Daphne.
He then opened the door and said, "Hello, headmaster. What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Harry. I am here to talk to you about you and Daphne's latest pets. May I come in?" Dumbledore said in his grandfatherly voice.
"Come in, but we can only talk for a few minutes. Our friends are coming over soon, and I think it would be a little uncomfortable to have you here." Harry said.
"Of course. I will try to be quick about it then." Dumbledore said as he crossed through the door.
"Mister Malfoy, what are you doing here?" He asked when he saw him in the armchair.
"I am friends with Daphne and Harry, headmaster. We decided to hang out with some more friends here to ensure privacy." Draco responded. He heard what Harry had told Dumbledore.
"Before you ask, sir, it is all right to talk about this in front of him. I do not hide much from my friends." Harry said before Dumbledore could speak.
"What do you mean by much?" Draco asked curiously.
"I'll tell you if you ask about it, but I won't tell you guys about my life on the streets beside that. If I do, then it is extremely vague." Harry explained.
"Ah. I'm sorry, sir, for interrupting you. Go ahead and talk to Harry and Daphne. I won't interrupt again." Draco said.
"Thank you, Draco. Daphne, Harry, I am concerned about your latest pets." Dumbledore said.
"Sir, they are our familiars." Daphne said.
"Oh? They are? May I ask where you two received the eggs?" The headmaster asked.
"I got them Sunday when I had some time between meetings. The ministry gave me some money, and I decided to go browse the shops. When I passed a dangerous pet emporium, I felt a pull like I did when I found Umbra and Zeus. Thankfully, those two were in the same emporium. This one, however, was in a different one. I did not see the name, so do not ask." He said when he saw Dumbledore begin to open his mouth. "I entered and moved towards the pull. I came up to a black, rugged egg with red and white highlighting it. When I picked it up, there was a white flash signifying a familiar bond was made. Before I could leave, a store attendant told me to pick up a pale blue, rugged egg with white highlighting it. He said these eggs were soul bonded and it should be a crime to come between it. I bought both eggs and secured them in a bag they gave me. After when Daphne and I arrived in our suite, I revealed the eggs. She picked up the blue one, and it bonded to her. We put the eggs in our fireplace, and they hatched this morning right before we woke up." Harry finished.
"Interesting story, Harry. I did not know these dragons were your familiars. If they weren't, we would have had to send them away." Dumbledore said to cover his tracks.
Harry thought it would be good to catch Dumbledore, so he said, "Sir, I talked to professor McGonagall after lunch, and she said that she would talk to you after her last class. Didn't you talk to her?"
"I am afraid I was not in my office when classes broke out; I was on my way here." Dumbledore responded thinking on his feet.
"Then why did you just show up now?" Harry continued to pressure the headmaster.
"I had to run an errand in the castle that had to be personally attended to by me. After that, I had to find out where your suite was from the house-elves." He responded again thinking on his feet.
"Oh. That makes sense. I will escort you out if you have no more questions for us." Harry said.
"Thank you, Harry. Good bye, Draco, Daphne." He said before Harry escorted him out.
When they arrived at the door, they said their good byes, and Dumbledore left. As he was walking up the hall, Harry's friends began walking down it.
"Hiya, Harry. Why was Dumbledore here?" Neville asked when they reached the door.
"He was concerned about the dragons. Please, come in." Harry said before he moved aside and welcomed his friends in. Harry followed behind them after he closed the door. Everyone except Harry sat down. He made a shushing movement with his lips before he revealed his gauntlet and scanned the room. After a second, there was a beeping sound, and Harry bent down and picked up a small round object. After another beep, Harry said, "It's all right to talk now guys. I had a feeling the headmaster left a listening device. I didn't want him to hear our conversation."
"What's with the gauntlet, Harry?" Seamus asked.
"I'll explain in a second, but I first need to know that you guys won't share anything that I tell you with anybody. And when I say anybody, I mean anybody, okay?" Harry asked.
Neville, Seamus, and Dean nodded their agreement.
"Of course we won't, Harry we're your friends." Neville said.
"Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. Because you are my friends and have potential, I am going to tell you what I am about to tell you." Harry said.
He then told his friends about the Grey Assassins, what they did, their beliefs, what was going on currently, Draco and Severus being members, and why he was trying to recruit them.
The whole time, Dean and Seamus were silent in shock. Neville on the other hand was silent in respect for Harry. Besides the silence, everyone listened in. When Harry finished, Neville asked, "So you want us to join?"
"Yeah. I think all of you have a lot of potential and would be great assets to our organization now and in the future. The Elders believe the new era of the Grey Assassins will change the world more effectively than the previous two combined. All of our members are trained to be the best warriors ever seen. I'll warn you, though, that once you join, there is no going back. I will give you up to a week to deliberate if you wish." Harry said, hiding nothing.
His friends exchanged looks, and Neville stepped forward and said, "That won't be necessary. We are joining. We're your friends, and we'll stick by you." Seamus and Dean nodded behind him.
"Thank you guys. I really appreciate it. We'll all meet here before we leave together for the Grey Assassins' main fortress." Harry said.
"No problem." His friends said.
"So, what can we do to teach Dumbledork a lesson?" Seamus asked with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Well, I did have an idea in the works, but we can do it tonight." Harry said. The whole room broke out in chuckles. Grins were plastered on their faces.
The next day, Dumbledore woke up looking and sounding like a very hot woman. It lasted the whole day and resulted in many students getting detention for hitting on a teacher.
