Chpt. 12

As Harry turned around he heard Mrs. Weasley talking to John in the hallway.

"Can you explain what's going on?"
"Yeah, sure. But I don't want to go through it more than once, so maybe you could call everyone you want to know."

"I'll call a meeting."

"Okay, just call me when you're ready."

"Thank you dear."

John practically fell onto the sofa, looking as though someone had just told him the world was ending. Harry walked over and poked John in the shoulder.

He looked up and smiled sheepishly. "Oops. This is the wrong room, isn't it?"

Harry looked at him, confused. "Huh?"

"Well, I'll be going then." John got up to leave.

"Wait!" Hermione called, "What was it you need to tell the Order?"
John raised an eyebrow. "You three don't know the meaning of personal space, do you?" He went up the stairs, smirking as though someone had just told him an amusing joke.

"We'll go get the Extendable Ears," George said the moment John was out of earshot. He and Fred left and returned quickly with aforementioned Ears.

The passed one out to everyone. "Hide it, so Mum doesn't see," George reminded them, though it was unnecessary as when she came to get John she obviously had more important things on her mind.

She came back with John and the other kids, Karkat looking especially sour.

"I don't understand why we have to pour our life's story out to a bunch of ignorant nook whiffers who can't keep their prying noses out of my business. I mean, back on Alternia you didn't bother with any of that shit. You and your neighbors tolerated each other in peace until you started trying to kill each other over some stupid thing. Then you go home to your overprotective lusus who will fuss over you for f***ing hours on end and you forget all about your f***ing neighbor and move on with your pathetic shit-stain of a life."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Terezi asked.

Karkat shrugged and went back to staring at the floor as though it had done him a great wrong. John smirked at Karkat as though he had won a battle. As Karkat flipped him off for what had to be the hundredth time that day, John's eyes widened.

"Er, I need to go check something real quick," he said hurriedly.

"Well, meet us in the kitchen then." John nodded and rushed down a hallway. Harry heard muffled voices, "You sure, Dave?

"Duh, Egderp. Jegus, do you need a f***ing pen or something?"
"Pfft, no."

"Well, then, just don't tell them about God-Tier and all that other shit about the Game."

"Why?"

"Are you really asking me that? Come on."

"Fine. I won't tell them about any of the cool stuff. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, sure, just read Rose's letter to them, should tell them everything they need to know, girl tends to lay it on thick, you know?"

As Harry was about to get up to see who John was talking to, he came back looking somewhat apprehensive.

He walked inside the kitchen and shut the door. Harry got out his Extendable Ear and inserted the flesh colored string into is ear. He could hear muffled voices through it.

"-tell us?" Harry could barely here Mrs. Weasley's voice.

"Uh, right! So, Rose does a better job explaining this than me, so I'll read the letter out loud, if no one has any complaints."

"I-"

"Besides Karkat."

Harry heard the sound of a letter being unfolded, and John cleared his throat. "Dear Order of the Phoenix," he began, "I assume my friends have made it to your sanctuary unharmed, and that is a great relief to me. While they may be out of place in your group, I beg that you can offer them protection until I can come up with a plan of action. Currently me and my friends are on the run from someone very dangerous. The charms and enchantments around Hogwarts and Grimmauld Place allow us to remain undetected, so there is no need to worry while my friends stay here. The person who is after us will be of no consequence of you as long as you do not become too deeply involved with our affairs. While it appears I have covered most of the problems at hand, there is one more which I shall bring to the light. Karkat and Terezi. They, alongside ten others, have an even bigger problem. While they may look like normal human beings, the fact is that they are not."

Harry heard Hermione gasp.

"Due to the intervention of a Mister Vanilla Milkshake-" John stopped, and started again. "White-text guy? The dude who was manipulating Rose, and Kanaya, and... Vriska..."

"Please finish the letter, Egbert," Harry heard Snape drawl.

"Oh, right, sorry. Where was I? Ah, here we go... erm, Due to the intervention of a Mister Vanilla Milkshake, a man who is merely a puppet of a much bigger foe, they currently look like humans and have no idea or means by which to turn back to normal. I request that you assist in this endeavor. I now must leave the rest of the story to John, who is incredibly handsome and awesome and stuff. And if anyone is eavesdropping on this conversation, if you repeat whatever you might've heard in here, the consequences will be much more severe than a detention. Rose Lalonde."

Harry looked at Ron, at a complete loss for words.

"Bloody Hell," he murmured quietly, "What did we just hear?"

I'm back! Urgh, sorry for the long wait and short chapter. This was really hard to write ;-; I have SOME reasons though. For one school started back again (OH YAY /human sarcasm) Second, my friend got me watching Attack on Titan. -.- It is amazing. I have also decided on the ships! Sorry, I couldn't fit all of them, but I'll list the ones I have decided on (some of them were pre decided but there were only two so… some i couldn't fit, and a few others i decided by myself afterwards)

Karkat 3 Terezi

John 3/ Vriska

Nepeta 3 Karkat (unrequited)

Karkat Gamzee

Nepeta Equius

Kanaya 3/3 Rose
