Chapter 13

Harry looked between Umbridge's flustered face and Allen's calm one. He glanced up at Lenalee, who still had her hand on his shoulder. She looked down at him and gave him a reassuring smile then looked back up.

"How is he going to protect himself if he doesn't use magic?" Hermione asked nervously.

"That's the whole point to this," Lenalee said softly. "He wants to show you that magic can't always save you. He wants to teach you how to really protect yourself. Now hush and watch." The three friends obediently fell silent and turned to watch the two teachers.

"Come on Professor," Allen said. "Just try to stun me or tie me up. You can even knock me off my feet. If you can get me on the floor, you win. However if I can get your wand away from you I win. Sound fair?" he asked.

Umbridge gave a nod.

"Well then, let's begin." Allen said with a smile. The smile fell from his lips when he strode forward with unhurried steps.

"Stupefy!" Umbridge yelled, a ball of red energy spat from her wand and went straight for Allen. It was a foot away when he sidestepped and it sailed past him, harmlessly hitting the wall.

"You missed," Allen said mildly. Umbridge's eyebrows furrowed and she spat out another spell. Allen waited until it was about five inches away before turning his body so that the spell once again sailed past. "You're going to have to do much better than that, Professor." Allen said politely.

Umbridge's eyes narrowed and she yelled a spell that made ropes come out of the end of her wand. Allen stopped and raised an eyebrow. He waited until the ropes where just about to touch him then he dropped to the floor and rolled forward. The ropes shot over his head and landed in a heap on the floor. He turned to look at the rope. "That was a better try. Would have worked too if they had been faster." Allen said in a polite tone. He strode forward once again.

Desperation shone on Umbridge's face as Allen drew nearer. She gave a sharp flick of her wand and a menacing hiss swept through the room. Allen once again stopped and looked over his shoulder at the pile of what should have been ropes. Shocked screams came from some of the girls in the class. A huge snake drew itself up in a striking position behind the white haired teen. Allen faced Umbridge again with a sigh and once more strode forward, completely ignoring the snake behind him.

"Stupefy!" Umbridge yelled at the same time that the snake lunged forward. Allen sidestepped and the red colored spell hit the snake. The snake froze up but its momentum kept it going forward toward Umbridge so Allen plucked it out of midair and tossed it to the back of the room.

"I don't think that's what you wanted to happen." Allen said mildly still walking towards Umbridge.

Umbridge gave a short growl. "Stupefy! Expelliamus! Reducto!" she yelled one after the other. Allen dodged all three with ease.

Now he was only a foot away. "Nice try. My turn." He said, still in a polite tone. Allen's left hand shot forward and grabbed Umbridge's wand. She let go with a gasp. Allen twirled the wand between his fingers. "And now you're defenseless," he handed Umbridge her wand back. "You're good, I'll give you that, but magic won't always be able to protect you. And besides," Allen continued as he started walking towards the door, Lenalee falling into step beside him. "Not all your enemies will give you your wand back."

The two Exorcists left the room just when the bell rang. Everything was still and quiet until Umbridge spoke. "You are dismissed." Harry, Hermione, and Ron felt chills go down their spines at the look on Umbridge's face; it was a look of pure fury and hatred. The three friends exchanged worried looks as they left the classroom. 'I hope Allen knew what he was doing when he challenged Umbridge' Harry thought worriedly.

****Exorcists POV****

"I hope you know what you're doing, beansprout." Lavi said.

Allen rolled his eyes and tugged on the communicator that looked like a black earring*. Of course, I do Lavi. And my name is 'Allen' stupid rabbit."

Lenalee rolled her eyes and interrupted before a fight could break out. "Can you tell us why you felt the need to antagonize Umbridge?" she asked the white haired teen.

Allen sighed and gathered his thoughts. He and Lenalee were heading to the forest to help Kanda and Lavi search for the Innocence. "Alright look, I did it because she needed to know that if she tried to control us in any way we would not lie down and take it." He rolled his shoulders as he and Lenalee entered the forest. "Plus she's like the female version of Leverrier. They both think that just because they have money and status that they can walk all over those they consider beneath them. I would have challenged Leverrier a long time ago if I didn't have the threat of him screaming I turned into the Fourteenth and getting me executed."

There was silence on the comms for a while before Allen once again spoke. "Unless of course someone else stands up to him, then in that case I would be honored bound to be back up." Allen sounded almost hopeful. Laughter from both Lenalee and Lavi, while Kanda just 'che'd', broke out.

"Sorry, little buddy, but I'm a bookman. I can't start anything," Lavi said smiling. "But on the other hand I can be back up for anyone who needs me, since I, of course, have to record what happens."

Lenalee laughed and shook her head. She and Allen had split up a while ago. "I still can't be in the same room with him so the 'standing up to' will have to be performed by someone else. But I'm there for anyone who decides to do it."

There was a silence before Lavi spoke. "Well, Yu-chan, are you going to say something?"

"Don't call me by that name baka Usagi!" Kanda snapped before a barely there smirk stole across his face. "I guess it's up to me to stand up to the bastard, since all of you are a bunch of scared weaklings."

A shocked silence fell over the three other Exorcists before Allen burst into laughter. "Well what do you know? Kanda does care!" he said after he was finished laughing.

"Woohoo, Yu-chan!" Lavi cheered. "Knew we could count on you!" When everyone calmed down again Lavi spoke. "If we're going to do this then we have to do it right," the other three were slightly shocked at the serious tone Lavi was using. "Technically speaking since we're talking about this we're already traitors so we may as well start planning."

"Lavi's right," Lenalee spoke up. "Besides we're away from the Order, what better time to plan than now?"

"True," Allen began. "So, why don't we start with…"

Lenalee smiled as she listened to her friends plan and bicker. 'Maybe,' she thought. 'One day, we can be free.'

****Wizards POV****

"Bloody hell!" Ron exclaimed. "Allen was bloody amazing when he was dueling Umbridge!"

They were currently having dinner and everyone was whispering about the duel between Umbridge and Allen. The news about Allen defeating Umbridge had spread like wildfire throughout the school until everyone knew about it. But for some reason, unlike with other rumors, this rumor didn't become distorted and unreal. It was as if the students who witnessed the duel wanted the information to be correct and not embellished or exaggerated.

"Where are Allen and the others?" Hermione asked worriedly. Harry and Ron looked towards the head table and sure enough, the four seats that the Exorcists usually sat in were still empty. The Exorcists hadn't come to lunch either and they hadn't been seen at all since Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry didn't want to admit it but he was becoming slightly worried. Suddenly the doors to the Great Hall were opened and everyone stopped talking and stared.

Harry turned to the doors and started staring as well. The four Exorcists were filthy. They were covered in dirt, ash, sweat, and what looked like blood. Their clothes were torn in several places and they seemed to be injured. Allen was leaning against Lavi and Lenalee was swaying until Kanda steadied her.

Lavi looked towards Dumbledore, who had risen in alarm. "We need to talk," he said in a clear but tired voice. "Right now, Headmaster."

Dumbledore nodded. "Go to my office, I will be there shortly," Lavi nodded and pulled Allen's arm around his shoulders and guided him out. "Please, students, continue eating." Dumbledore said before following the Exorcists out.

A few minutes passed before the whispers started up again. "What the hell happened to them?" Ron asked bewildered. Harry and Hermione shook their heads helplessly.

"I don't know but I hope they're going to be okay." Hermione said, wringing her hands worriedly.

"Don't worry, Hermione," Harry reassured her. "They're tough. They'll be okay."

'Now if only I can believe that.' Harry thought desperately.
