Story: Code Geass: Hogwarts Houses the Rebellion
Chapter 13: Pensive Time
Story rating: T for now
Beta- Axel
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, Harry would have been in Slytherin... with Draco... –dirty giggle-. If I owned Code Geass, the ending would have been a lot different... or maybe the same but Gino would be loyal to Lelouch and I would have started the third season already (with Lelouch being immortal of course!).

A/N: I now have a beta! -does happy dance-
I didn't put the pensive scene in italics because they annoy me... I just labeled it pensive scene. This is kind of a filler, but I wanted to let you guys know how some of this stuff happened differently and also how Rolo and Gino tied into it all. I also wanted to let you know exactly what parts Lelouch was going to show Draco and Harry. Sorry if it was too long of a pensive memory... .
Also, I brought somebody back to life... again. =)
Chapter XIII: Pensive Time
Draco and Harry walked leisurely through the hallways. They knew that most students would still be in the great hall, and took the pleasure of holding hands all the way to the Slytherin common room. When they reached the wall, they both pulled their hands back with a small smile. They would tell everyone when they were ready. Draco opened the passageway and waited for Harry to walk through before following. Draco then led the way to Lelouch and his room, knocking before pulling open the door.
What he saw surprised him, and if he had been a girl he would have been gushing. Lelouch was asleep on top of Gino and Suzaku, while Rolo was curled up like a cat on Luciano's lap. Draco smiled softly at Harry before marching up to the bed. He put his palms face down on the bed and began shaking the bed roughly. "Wake up! You wanted to talk to us before we went to meet Sev, right?"
Lelouch woke up first, rubbing sleepily at his eyes before sitting up completely. He stretched out before bouncing up and down curiously, unable to comprehend what he had been laying on. A groan was his only answer, and he peered down at the groaning Suzaku. Gino laughed lightly at them as he too sat up. Luciano merely sat up straighter, allowing Rolo to sit comfortably in his lap. Draco looked back at Harry, questioning with his eyes.
Harry blushed before nodding slightly. He looked away and yelped as he was pulled onto the bed as well. Draco sat Indian style with his arms snaked around Harry's waist. Nobody looked the least bit shocked, and continued to blink sleepily, trying to erase all evidence they had fallen asleep. Harry looked bewildered as Draco got more comfortable. Lelouch stood, knowing he couldn't explain everything to Harry without something he had read about in a book when he had first arrived at the castle.
He reached delicately under his bed and grabbed a large bowl, before putting it on the side table. He reached for his wand before closing his eyes and breathing in deeply. He carefully thought of what to include and what not too before raising his wand to his temple. With a muttered incantation, a long white wispy strand of silvery smoke followed his wand as he brought it towards the bowl. He carefully put it into the bowl, and watched for a moment as it swirled around mesmerizingly.
He took a deep breath before turning back to the large group. "I have put in the memories that I trust you with. You are not allowed to speak to anyone about this, is that understood?" Lelouch was fine with Draco and Harry just nodding, knowing he didn't have to make an unbreakable vow. Harry would keep Draco in check well enough.
"Are all of us watching?" Luciano asked as he too stood up.
Lelouch nodded, sparing a quick glance at Suzaku. "I figure it is best you four see exactly what I let them know, and if you want to add anything from your history, you can afterwards." Gino and Rolo nodded while Suzaku looked conflicted. "You don't have to tell them anything you don't want to. I just feel that they need to know what happened to get us here, and they can be valuable allies too." Lelouch reasoned.
Suzaku strode quickly forward and pulled Lelouch into a bone-crushing hug. "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about you. How can you fair looking back at all those horrible memories?" Lelouch set his jaw as hugged Suzaku back, knowing he had to be strong. He pulled away and turned towards the pensive. He gestured for everyone to follow as he lowered his face into the watery substance, effectively going into his own memories, knowing several others would as well.
Inside the Pensive
Lelouch carefully masked his features as he waited for everyone to arrive. Finally Draco, Harry, Suzaku, Gino, Luciano, and Rolo all arrived, waiting for the memories to start. "It will probably make more sense if I narrate it myself. If you have any questions just ask, and I can sort of pause the memory to answer." Everyone nodded in understand and Lelouch started the first memory.
It was a little Lelouch around the age of eight. He was playing around with a young girl a few years younger than him. The only way you could tell they were related was by their eyes. "I'll start at the beginning. Who you see now is me and my younger sister, Nunally. We were very close at that age. This woman here," Lelouch went and stood next to the mother watching the children. "She was my mom. She married Charles zi Britannia, the Emperor of Britannia, and had both me and Nunally.
"I was born the nineteenth heir to the throne of Britannia, the rising nation that was conquering the world one country at a time. Life was fine and my sister and I were blissfully ignorant of the chaos in our own family." Lelouch paused as the scene changed. Young Lelouch was running fast through the hall, and the large group quickly followed him. He burst through the doors of the throne room before stopping in shock. His eyes widened and he started shaking as he took in the whole scene. His mother was lying dead over his sister in the middle of the stairs. Glass was shattered everywhere, and if it weren't by the twitching of his sister's hands and eyes, he would have thought both of his most loved ones were dead. "I was the one who found them. My sister was paralyzed from the waist down, and lost her eyesight from trauma. My mother was dead."
The scene changed swiftly to Lelouch dressed in his royal robes. He was still young as he marched up to the bottom of the Emperor's chair. "My father had nothing to do with us after our mother's death. He didn't once visit my sister while she was in critical condition, or even after she healed as much as she could. I was furious and when I confronted him about it he sent us away to live with Suzaku, whose father was the prime minister of Japan." Lelouch looked Draco straight in the eyes as he spoke again. "He told everyone we died. We lived with Suzaku for years, before we met the Ashford family. We started going to Ashford high and things were looking up. We adopted the last name of Lamperouge and all was well."
The scene shifted through and Draco watched as Lelouch rode with Rolo, almost colliding with the giant truck. They watched Lelouch hurry into the truck and watched as no one noticed Lelouch fall into the truck as it sped away. Lelouch just let the scenes play through, letting the scenes speak for themselves. Kallen spoke loudly about the poisoned gas before getting into her Glasgow. Harry and Draco watched as the truck came to a stop and Suzaku appeared in the memory.
Suzaku dove and covered Lelouch's face with his own mask as the 'poison gas' was released. They were shocked to see a beautiful green-haired girl instead. Suzaku bravely stood up for his friend and the innocent girl and for that he was shot. They watched amazed as Lelouch used his power of geass on the soldiers and how he took Viletta's Knightmare frame fairly easily. Suzaku was bandaged up and Draco and Harry watched, fascinated as Lelouch outsmarted the Britannian forces and went straight to the head of the operation.
The lights of the camera dimmed and they saw an attractive blond sitting in a chair, who was obviously the one who called the cease fire. Lelouch stepped out of the shadows with a gun pointed at his brother. "My brother, Clovis was Viceroy of Japan, now dubbed Area 11. He was one of my favorite half-brothers, always able to lighten the mood. I know I should have killed him, but instead I faked his death and used my geass on him to make him live in secret until I spoke to him again. Everyone thought their beloved Viceroy was dead and they held a funeral.
"I gathered the group I had commanded and made sure to hide my identity from them. They would have been stunned to find a Britannian school boy at the head of a massive rebellion. I formed the black nights and together we slowly defeated some of the parts of Britannia, and made good allies." More flashes of battles went by and Suzaku was taken as Knight of Euphemia li Britannia. The scene changed to Lelouch making plans with Euphemia for peace, who was not surprised at the fact that her brother was in fact Zero. Lelouch jokily told her that if he commanded her to kill all the Japanese, who she loved dearly, she would have no choice but to obey. At that moment, Lelouch's geass went out of control and forced her to kill all the Japanese. Lelouch was heartbroken as he fired the shot that killed his half-sister. They watched as Lelouch was captured by Suzaku and Lelouch order Suzaku to live, to help them escape.
The final showdown between Suzaku and Lelouch shocked everyone the most. They were shocked as Lelouch was captured by Suzaku and brought to his knees in front of his father. Charles used his own geass on Lelouch, forcing him to forget ever being Zero or even a part of the black knights. They took Nunally away from him, and planted a secret agent to fill as his 'brother'. Lelouch was separated from his brother and he saw the woman C.C. again. He didn't remember her but still ran to catch her as she was shot out of the open pit of her knightmare frame.
When they touched she once again gave him his power of geass. In doing so he regained all of his memories. "I felt so betrayed. Nunally, the one I treasured most was replaced by a boy who happened to look like me. His eyes were the same color as my sister and I, and no one noticed anything weird, or asked about the disappearance of my sister. I realized then that my father had used his geass to make everyone forget everything about knowing Nunally, and anything that made me suspicious was erased as well.
"I didn't take long for me to regroup with the few soldiers I had remaining and I quickly confronted Rolo about faking being my brother." The scene changed and Rolo stood, looking at the screens in the control room they used to keep track of Lelouch. Rolo stood stock still as he saw Lelouch standing behind him in one of the screens, a gun pointed and loaded at his head. Rolo was still as Lelouch questioned him. Then before you could blink Rolo had the gun, and was pointing it at Lelouch.
"I convinced him I needed him and I learned his story. He received a geass from a different immortal than I. His name was V.V. and he gave Rolo the ability to freeze time. That made Rolo the best possible assassin and he was used in most of Britannians dirty work. He was given the job to watch me and was given the name Rolo." Lelouch smiled at Rolo as the scene changed.
Battle scenes played through and finally Lelouch was taken to his father's weapon against God. Lelouch quickly shattered part of the weapon, and used his geass on him, commanding him to die. Lelouch walked, hysterically happy to his believed to be dead father. He was horrified to find that Charles had killed V.V., therefore making him immortal. Lelouch used his Geass on God to kill his father and actually alive mother, who had been hiding in the body of Anya the whole time.
With his parents dead Lelouch stepped out of the shadows and claimed the throne of Britannian to himself. When people started to outrage, Suzaku appeared and was dubbed the knight of zero. Meanwhile his brother Schneizel was grouping together as many of the anti-Lelouch groups together to rebel against the new Britannia, who was under the control of Lelouch, the boy everyone had though died almost ten years before. Lelouch teamed up with Gino and Suzaku and carefully infiltrated the carrier Schneizel and his servant Kanon were in. Lelouch used his geass to pacify the two and successfully broke the rebellion against the Empire.
End Pensive memories
Gino started talking to Draco and Harry who were standing stock still, understanding flashing across their faces. "Lelouch was unsure of how to rule his country when half of it was against him, so he decided to take a temporary leave, allowing his right hand woman Kallen take the temporary spot of Empress." Lelouch snuggled into Suzaku's warm embrace as Draco and Harry silently thought about it together.
Harry spoke first. "Nothing about that changes how I feel about you guys. Now I hold more respect of course, but who am I to judge. All of us have had rough pasts and we need help getting over them." Harry said passionately.
Draco smiled at him and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind. "I've been everything but angelic in the past, especially to Harry, and now is the time to make up for that." Draco said before kissing Harry lightly on the neck. Harry giggled and stood straighter, wiggling out of Draco's hold.
"Now I do believe we have been keeping Severus waiting. Therefore we are keeping the Dark Lord himself waiting." Lelouch said warningly. "I need you two to behave and do as I say." Lelouch said to Gino and Suzaku as he leaned over and gave both of them a light kiss on the lips.
"Yes, your highness." the smart-ass retort he was given as they gave him a mock bow.
Lelouch cuffed them both on the back of the head before turning and leaving the Slytherins dormitories, wondering how he got so lucky.
