A/N This is a long preamble. My responses to people is written like this and you can ignore the rest if your aren't interested
If you are interested, I just wanted to share something about myself. I am going out this summer to Ghana to build a hospital- I am working with a company called reallywildchallanges who will send me and my friends out to Ghana and supply materials to build a health centre if we each raise £2500 for Marie curie and sick kids jointly. This is my website if anyone is interested

Allen took up a firm stance, holding his body weight low and swaying lightly from foot to foot, staring determinedly at the trunk in the middle of Lupins classroom. He closed is eyes, taking deep breaths and concentrating hard on something. Eventually, he opened his eyes and nodded to Lupin who in turn opened the trunk. Filthy grey smoke spewed out of its depths and rose up in a tower, forming the tall figure of the dementor. Allen raised hhis wand desperately but hardly got the word "expect" out of hi mouth before his eyes rolled back in his head and he fell to the floor. Lupin sent the dementor back to its box and patiently revive his pupil, handing him over a box of toffees as allen had complained about chocolate after a few lessons. He sat down beside the young boy and took a piece for himself
"What memory are you using Allen? I think you are going to have to change it- its clearly not working for you"
"I'm using the first time i took Mai on the carousel ride and that was the first time she laughed. It is the happiest memory I have- I cant understand why it wont work"
Lupin considered this for a while then "Well tell me then what memory the dementors are using against you. Its not always about how happy the memory is but sometimes it is about how strong it is. If this happy memory is in any way linked to your bad memories, it makes it easier for them to corrupt it"
It was Allen's turn this time to sit in silence. He didn't reply until he had half finished the box of toffee's. He heaved a great sigh and said
"The circumstances I got Mai in weren't exactly ideal. I found her only a few days after my fathers death and that memory is what they always use against me"
Lupin nodded "Well that explains why you were having such trouble. You are just going to have to find a happy memory that cant be linked with your fathers death and then you should be fine" He took the box o toffees back and started setting the classroom back in order
"It'll have to wait until next lesson though. you are too tired to go through this again today"
Allen however didn't leave strait away. He hovered uncertainly by the door for a while before blurting out
"But sir, all of my happy memories are with Mai- I don't have any that aren't linked with her so all of them are corrupted" His shoulders slumped despondently "I'll never be able to make a Patronus" he wailed despairingly
Lupin strode over to Allen and frowned rather disapprovingly at him
"Is your life here so horrible that you have not one happy memory out of the year and a half you've spent here? Are your friends so terrible that they have never once made you laugh or smile? Is Dumbledore such a horrible foster father that he has never made you feel safe or cared for? You need to stop being so selfish Allen and realise that you aren't the only person capable of caring for people- your friends all love you and you are surrounded by people who care for you. Don't insult them by imagining that you are all alone in the world." He walked over to the trunk againn and stood beside it, hand on the latch
"Think this time Allen and tell me when you are ready"
Allen closed his eyes, waves of shame and confusion crashing alternately over him. He hadn't thought of it that way before. He was so used to being the one who cared and the one who sacrificed that he had been blind to what others had been doing for him. He remembered now all the times Ron, Harry and Hermione had stood by him, supported him even when they knew he was keeping secrets from them. All the times they had cheered him up and helped him. He remembered how Madame Pomfrey and so many of the other teachers had made him feel at home for the first time in since Mana. He remembered how Dumbledore had helped him when he most needed help an how he had so many times calmed him down after a restless night or a bad Akuma encounter with kind words and a steaming mug of hot butterbeer. More than any one memory however, how just concentrated on the feeling of protection and safety he had enjoyed while around his new family. He allowed the feeling to fill him up until he almost felt like bursting and then he needed to Lupin, who flicked the catch, setting the Bogart loose once more. This time however, the dense chill didn't sweep over his body like it normally did and for a split second,the happy memories protected him from its powers. He raised hhis wand again and shouted the incantation before the brief respite disappeared. The huge silver wolf erupted from the and tip and at his command, chased the bogart back into the box.
Allen exited the room with a huge grin plastered across his face and Lupin's words of praise still echoing around his head, feeling more contented that he had since the start of the term, when the Dementors were first introduced.
Allen slowed slightly as he passed the darkened library, a pang of guilt hitting him. Between all the training and revising he had been doing, he had been able to do very little for Hagrid and Buckbeak. The execution was set for tomorrow and it seemed like there was no hope left. Stupid Malfoy and his insatiable ego- both him and his father were stuck up morons but there really was nothing to be done at this stage. Allen sighed and after deliberating for a moment, he headed off to the room of requirement. He would be back in time for the execution- to be with Hagrid but at the moment, he really needed to get out- due to the increase in Dementor patrols and his inability to be about them without passing out, he hadn't been able to get out for months. Just the thought of all those souls he hadn't been able to save turned his stomach but now he had managed to master the Patronus, he would be fine. He ran up to the owlry first to search for Timcampy but the little golem had once again gone missing- he probably was wondering about the forbidden forest somewhere traumatising Bowtruckles and Fairies alike. He paused uncertainly for a short while but he couldn't leave it for another night- he had already wasted so much time. He set his face determinedly and swung himself onto his broom, casting his Patronus to fly before himself, bursting through the ranks of thhe Dementors and the barrier, shooting out into the clear nights sky
Lenalee sat patiently on the sofa in front of her snoring brother as section chief Reever lent down and quietly whispered in his ear
"Komui, did ya hear? Lenalee is getting married!" Komui shot out of his seat faster than a bulled from a gun and clung to Lenalee's skirts sobbing about how she had broken his heart and about how he was going to brake the boys neck. She blushed brightly and gave him to the count of ten before braining him with her clipboard. This seemed to bbring him back to his senses surpriingly quickly and he pulled a few files from his desk
"There is a new phenomenon we need investigating. There is a small town from which we think no one is able to enter or leave. Deliveries are ordered every week yet supplies never manage to reach them had the delivery men can never explain why and yet, each week the same deliveries are made. we believe Innocence is involved" He handed over the information pack for her to look over
"Is it just me going out, brother?" she asked as she poured over the booklet. She glanced up and to her dismay, her brothers eyes were streaming again
"Yes, poor little sister! Kanda and Lavi were sent off on another mission last night so its just you but we can cancel, what was I thinking sending you on your own? There's no way I could let you do that my little angel!" but before he could carry on, she brained him one last time and stood up primly
"I'll leave right away" she said, ignoring his wails of 'Lenaleeeeeee' and striding out of his office without a backward glance.
It was just starting to get light out when Allen came across a small village. He Hadn't come across one Akuma all night and he was starving. After a moments consideration, he landed and cast a disillusionment charm on his broom and backpack before setting off into town. It was the weekend anyway so it didn't really matter what time he came back at. It was quite a quaint little place and after realising that they didn't have any all-you-can-eat buffets, he wondered into a small restaurant and settled for ordering everything. Twice. He was just polishing off his second bacon and eggs when he saw something that almost caused his heart to stop. Amongst the crowds of blondes and brunettes, he saw a green haired girl. He twisted in his seat, straining to get a better look at her. The crowd thinned somewhat and he got a better look at her- it was definitely the exorcist girl- she looked rather lost, staring down each street she passed and frequently turning around to see what was behind her. He watched her curiously but then her searching eyes found his. Allen caught his breath and spun around, ducking his head and avidly staring at the table cloth. There was no reason she should think anything of it- he was just a stranger who happened to catch her eye but he was a white haired, scarred young stranger. He groaned and thumped his head on the table. Suddenly the resteraunt bell rang, he turned in his seat staying low and his worst fears were confirmed- she was standing in the doorway, scanning the room for someone- for him! Keeping low down, he slipped off his seat and made his way slowly to the fire exit door, ducking behind the tables as he went. He had almost reached it when a voice ran out across the resteraunt
"Hey, you there- can I talk to you please?" Without a backwards glance, he flung himself out the door and sprinted off down the street, randomly picking streets and lanes to run down, trying to throw her off his trail. He almost fell over as he sharply turned another corner and all of a sudden, his eye activated. It honed in on an Akuma at the end of the street, hovering over a cowering figure. He straitened up and walked down the cobbled street, trying to get as close to the creature as he could without alerting it to his presence. It seemed to be talking to her which was weird but ten it reached out its long claws to her exposed neck and he figured he had waited long enough
"Please let go of her" He said calmly, hoping to distract the Akuma from the young woman and catch it off guard.
"Good afternoon, Akuma" He smiled as it turned to face him
Lenalee danced from rooftop to rooftop, frustratedly scanning the streets for the white haired boy. She had been searching for hours but he seemed to have disappeared completely. It was possible of course that he had nothing too do with innocence or the strange phenomenon but innocence had a tendency to make itself noticeable and he certainly had been noticeable. She spun around sharply when she heard a loud bang somewhere behind her. Without a moments hesitation, she flew off in the direction of the noise. As she neared it, a woman ran full tilt past her but she payed little attention, more shocked by the white haired young boy who was mid-battle with an Akuma and seemed to be fighting it with his arm- and winning!. The young boy leapt through the air and brought the claws of his hand down with tremendous force on the Akuma and leapt back before it exploded. Determined not to loose him again, Lenalee sprinted down to him
"Wait a minute please, we need to talk" The boys eyes widened as soon as he saw her and he tried to run away but she caught up with him
"I'm not going to hurt you- I just want to talk" she cried, catching his arm and spinning him around. He tried to twist out of her grip and run away again but she caught a hold of his other arm and held him steady. He wriggled like a caught fish and succeeded in freeing himself- she only just managed to catch a hold of him again before he ran away
"I wont hurt you- I just want to talk"
Allen nervously walked into a small coffee shop, with the exorcist girl- Lenalee keeping a firm grip on his sleeve. He had ran away multiple times but soon found that he was unable to leave the town. Every time he had tried to get beyond a certain point, he found himself back in the town again. As much as he distrusted the Order, he needed to figure out how to get out so he could get back to Hogwarts before lessons started again. They sat down at one of the tables and Allen ordered the whole stand of cupcakes- He was going to need a lot of sugar to get through this
"There's this thing called Innocence" Lenalee started as Allen tucked into his tower of cupcakes "And a counter substance called dark matter which that monster you killed is made from. I work for a company who fight against the man who makes these monsters and try to collect all the pieces of innocence we can. We would like to recruit you and figure pout how to stop your innocence from trapping this town in a bubble" Allen looked at her, half confused and half amused
"I know what Innocence and Akuma are, I have been using my innocence for quite some time. I don't have anything to do with this town being stuck- I got caught in here just like you. In fact I was hopping you would be able to help me get out. I think I saw the woman responsible for this but she ran away when I started to fight the Akuma." Lenalee gaped at him for some time before finding her voice
"You're the rogue exorcist " she gasped when she regained her breath
"I've been ordered to take you in"
There was a long silence during which Allen downed the rest of his cakes, politely wiped his mouth and then calmly pointed out that neither of them was going anywhere or doing anything any time soon unless they spoke to the woman causing the town to rewind and if she wanted the chance to try and arrest him, she may wish to try and catch the woman who was standing right outside the shop.
Lenalee sat opposite the terrified woman who seemed to be the centre of all the chaos. This was not a good situation she was in- stuck in a rewinding town with a hysterical woman and a completely unknown entity. Besides all that, she had to rely on this strange boy for help. Miranda, nervous as she was trusted him because he had saved her and she knew she couldn't arrest him and figure this out by herself because the already terrified woman would probably freak out completely. On the other hand, she had no idea what motives were driving this boy, whose side he was on and what he would do with the innocence if he got a hold of it before she did. She would just need to play along with him for the time being and once the innocence had been discovered, neutralise him. Once he came to the order and found out what they were really about he wouldn't be o hostile and she would have another brother. He looked kind and gentle despite his aversion to the order. He was polite too and had a way of talking to the half-crazed woman that kept her sane. Yes, he would soon see that the order was ultimately a force for good and they would have two more additions to the family. All of a sudden, Allen stood up
"You may wish to take her out of here" He said calmly, his scarred eye turning black with a searing red pupil
"These village people aren't quite what they seem" He stood up, his arm seamlessly transforming into the huge claw she had seen before as the three villagers twisted and warped into Akuma. Lenalee made a split second decision and grabbed Miranda by the waist, shooting out the door and speeding across the rooftops. She sent a worried look back to the small shop but there was nothing she could do- she had to protect the innocence at all costs.
Allen staggered up to the apartment, a small line of blood trickling out of his ear and an even longer one soaking through the leg of his trousers. Inside, Miranda was feverishly polishing a large grandfather clock. He explained to Lenalee what had happened with the Akuma and she listened attentively
"There was no way you could have taken on three level two's by yourself anyway. You were lucky they stopped when they did" She smiled gently, as she held out a first aid kit questioningly. Allen paused momentarily then nodded and rolled up his trouser leg for her to clean the wound
"I want to talk to you abut the order Allen, I really think once I explain..." He gently placed a finger on her lips, silencing her
"I am sorry, Lenalee. You seem like a very nice person and it is nothing personal but I could never join t he order. I know what they do and I know how they act. They place the needs of some above the needs of others based on whether or not it is profitable for them to help. If innocence isn't involved in an Akuma's presence, they dont help- they leave the Akuma to suffer" Lenalee gave him a questioning look and he smiled slightly
"My eye, it lets me see the trapped souls inside the Akuma. It lets me see their pain and suffering as they are forced to kill. I don't care about innocence or politics, I just want to save as many Akuma as possible and joining the order won't help me do that. Besides all that, I know the Order's track record isn't exactly squeaky clean- I have a young daughter and I don't want her to get cauught up in anything" He chuckled at the shocked look on Lenalee's face "She's adopted" He said, answering her unasked question. Before she could say anything else, the town started to rewind again, a huge gale sweeping through the room. Lenalee reached for him and he caught her hand, clinging on for dear life as his feet were swept out from under him
Allen balanced in a practiced way on top of a huge circus ball- it was funny how all his circus skills seemed to come back so easily. This situation he was in was just so strange- he had to make a woman he had never met before in his life feel worthwhile so that he could escape this crazy town and get back to Hogwarts. He had already been away two days- it was not good. Not good at all. Lenalee smiled at him as she handed out leaflets to passer by's. He hadn't really meant to tell her so much about his life but she was just so trustworthy- besides, he had told him a lot of personal information as well. A cry distracted him from his thoughts- poor Miranda had been pick pocketed. In a vain attempt to get the money back and convince her that she wasn't completely useless, Allen chased after then man with Lenalee hot on his heels but when they eventually caught up with his, he turned out to be an Akuma
"It's a trap" Allen cried uselessly but it was too late for either of them to escape the battle. They both flew viciously to their own Akuma however the same one Allen had faced the last time let out its ungodly shriek which spilt its way through both the teens heads making it almost impossible to focus on anything but making the noise stop. Allen gritted his teeth and dodged an ice bullet from the other Akuma, reachiing into his pocket and pulling out his wand
"Silencio" He yelled, hardly able to hear his own voice. The shriek stopped but his ears were ringing so loudly he hardly noticed at first then gathering his its, he attacked
"Help me!" He yelled to Lenlee who left up and brought her foot down with tremendous force on his hand, driving his claw deep down into the Akuma's metal shell and for the first time since Alexi's father, he felt his Innocence changing into its gun shape. He very quickly sent of as many successive shots as he could before it reverted to its usual form, he jumped away from the unfortunate Akuma and glanced up as it exploded, smiling ever so slightly as he saw the soul escape from it and soar off into the sky just before another explosion knocked him off his feet and his vision turned black
He came too slowly, foggyness clinging to his brain like a thick cloud. He blinked repeatedly to clear his vision and even when it did eventually clear, he couldn't believe his eyes. Miranda was impaled by spikes onto her beloved clock. Lenalee was slumped in a high backed chair, a young, freaky looking kid grinning next to her wearing her exorcist coat
"Lenalee!" He screamed and tried to move toward her but he was unable to move and a sudden blinding pain shot through his arm. He turned in disbelief to look at his arm which was pinned to the wall with the same candy striped spikes that were holding Miranda. He looked in desperation and confusion at the young kid who was dancing around Lenalee's chair, singing her name cheerily
"What are you doing?" He gasped "why are you helping the Akuma? Akuma hunt and kill humans and you are a human. Why are you helping them?" The child's grin widened as she licked a drop of blood off her fingertip
"Akuma can be used by humans to kill other humans. I and my family are the true disciples. We are righting the balance of the world. Together with the Millennium Earl we will build a new world free from you weak humans. We are the true apostles of god"
Allen reeled in shock. Humans working for the very man who was trying to wipe humans from earth to replace them with twisted machines powered by sorrow and pain. No. He couldn't let this happen. He had to save Lenalee and Miranda and the Akuma and this young girl whose mind had been so twisted. Ignoring the pain, he ripped his arm off the wall. The pain blasted through his body, and he was unable to carry through on the attack. Suddenly, he felt the girls small, warm body press against him
"I am. Human" she whispered into his ear "feel that? That is my bodies heat"
Allen paused mid-attack
"You are human? You are like us? Then why?"
She chuckled eerily, sending shivers up and down his spine
"Not quite like you"
She grabbed his innocence and impaled herself with it. As his claws pierced her, he felt the innocence react to her like it reacted to the Akuma. She was the enemy there was no doubt about that. She pulled back, seemingly unbothered by her injuries, her skin knitting together in front of her eyes
"We Noah are nothing like you puny humans" she hissed, driving one of the floating candles deep into his eye
The pain almost knocked him out but he battled through it- he had to save them. He had to save the all. He charged at the girl the weird pumpkin had called Rhode but she sent the remaining two Akuma after him. He knew there was no way he could take two level twos on by himself. In desperation, he touched the wand that still lay in his pocket but didnt withdraw it. Something told him he would be better to keep that weapon a secret for as long as possible. As qetly as possible he whispered "protegro" The shield charm caused them to deflect allowing him to catch one off guard. He sunk his claws deep into its armoured shell, gritting his teeth, pushing through the pain and digging them in as deep as possible. He felt them penetrate fully just before the other Akuma hit him from behind, flinging him across the room. The little girl screamed in anger as the Akuma he attacked exploded. Still yelling, her face twisted in anger, she swept her hand towards Miranda, sending all the spiked candles towards her at a furious speed. Without a second thought, Allen flung himself in front of them, wrapping his arms around her and whispering the shield charm again. He wasn't quite quick enough this time though and some of the candles pierced his body. Blood pooled around him and he looked numbly up at Miranda's terrified face
"It's ok" he said reassuringly, forcing a smile "you're going to be ok" Rhode sent the final Akuma towards him and he tried hard to concentrate on staying conscious. His vision flickered worryingly as he fought to stay upright. He wasn't going to show any weakness- he wouldn't let her win. He was about to try one last act of defiance when he felt Miranda's thin arms wrap around his body. Her clock started glowing and he smiled slightly. Her innocence was activating. He body felt warm all over and the pain dissapitated. Hardly believing his eyes, he looked down to see his suit free of blood and puncture holes, even his eye was healed. He smiled as he looked up at Miranda
"You've saved us! Thank you" ignoring her shocked face, he turned to face Rhode who was floating undecidedly outside the bubble Miranda had created. He made an angry swipe at her, missing just but before he could go any further, he remember Lenalee. He carefully released her from her chair and together they turned to face Rhode and the remaining Akuma. They fought like cornered lions but Rhode was powerful
"I have waited a long time to meet you Allen" she purred languidly as she looked down on them "you are the most interesting exorcist I have ever met" Lenalee and Allen exchanged looks but he decided correcting her would not be in their best interests so he shook his head ever so slightly
"Akuma" she chirped childishly "you and your friends have been a huge disappointment to me today. Self destruct at the count of ten. Ten. Nine. Eight" Allen looked in confusion between her and the Akuma
"I don't understand, what are you doing?" Rhode leered at him as the pumpkin continued the countdown
"Did you know that if an Akuma is destroyed by anything but innocence, it devolves into dark matter, the soul doesn't escape" Allen's eyes widened and he instinctively tightened his hand around his wand but the wand wasn't innocence- what if it just had the same effect? In an act of desperation, he flung himself at the Akuma but something caught him around the middle and right before his eyes, the final Akuma exploded and the soul dissapitated. Disappeared. Right before his eyes. In a fit of rage, he flew at Rhode who was disappearing through a door, he held the gun to her head, tears streaming down his face
"Tut tut Allen" she sang "crying over an Akuma? You'll never fit in if you carry on like this" and she stepped though the door which snapped shut behind her. He stood staring numbly after her for a bit and then returned to Lenalee and Miranda. She was right. He would never fit in at the order. For a while there he had considered it- Mai could have stayed at Hogwarts- she would have been well looked after and he could have gone with the sweet, kind Lenalee and the timid Miranda, made a family, a home but he already had a family, a home. And they accepted him for who he was- an Akuma loving exorcist. Miranda reluctantly relinquished her power and the pain from his injuries hit him like a hammed blow, knocking the air out of his lungs and blackness started sneaking in at the edges of his vision but he knew he couldn't let go. Lenalee was planning to take him back to the order by force and he was in no shape to fight her. He wrapped his fingers around his wand again and whistled
"Accio broom" under his breath while Lenalee was distracted. The broom, still under the disillusionment charm nudged him gently as it soared through the window. He disillusioned himself and wearily swung his leg over the broom, slumping down on it, trying to preserve what little strength he had left.
The blackness had more or less narrowed his vision to a pinprick when he came into view of the great dark castle. Hoping desperately that the Dementors were busy doing something else, he removed the disillusionment charm so that someone could find him when he eventually lost...
He came too bandaged up like a badly wrapped parcel in the hospital wing with Ron in the bed opposite him. The bored teenager quite willingly filled him in on all that had happened since he left
"You don't need to worry" she said, seeing the worry on the small patch of Allen's face that wasn't swaddled in bandages
"No one even noticed you were missing with this whole Sirius debacle and it was Lupin who found you and he isn't about to say anything to anyone" Allen sighed in relief and relaxed back against the cushion
Madame Pomfrey came bustling in, scolding Ron for talking to him when he needed to preserve all his strength for healing
"What you have been up to I don't even want to thing about" she muttered moodily as she slathered about twenty different types of ointment over each of the puncture wounds and bandaged them back up again
"Wounds the like of which I have never seen before nor would ever like to see again. Fool of a child" still muttering, she bustled around the bed, doing everything within her power to make him comfortable despite her multiple threats to strap him to the bed and never let him up again
Allen limped down the corridor, nervously looking over his shoulder to check for the matron but thankfully he seemed to be in the clear. He knocked politely on Lupins door and was ushered in with the usual smile and was forced to sit down before he collapsed. He was surprised to see Dumbledore standing at Lupins desk. He smiled warmly at Allen
"It's good to see you are well enough to get back to your usual rule breaking and meddling" he said in a half serious and half teasing tone, his eyes twinkling mischievously. Allen smiled slightly and blushed
"It's ok though Allen, I have the feeling your here for the same reason I am. Maybe you will have more luck" he waved his arm in Lupins direction and Allen turned to face him
"I don't want you to leave sir" he blurted out without any preamble "you saved my life, twice. Once with the Patronus and the other time when you found me. Pease don't go. You're the best teacher Hogwarts has ever seen" Lupin smiled rather indulgently
"You're just lucky I found you as a human and not as a werewolf because believe me if I had found you as a werewolf, you would not be alive. But enough of this talk - I have a feelings you came to ask me something else
Allen slowly began to re tell his adventure and both the adults listened intently to everything he said. By the end of the story Lupin looked distinctly green and the twinkle had dissapeared from Dumbledores eyes to be replaced by an intense sadness
"I should have saved that Akuma" Allen whispered, tears splashing onto his bandages "I should have been better. Faster" Dumbledore reached over and placed a hand on his shoulder
"You can't save everyone Allen, the sooner you realise this the better. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to save everyone, it just means you need to realise you won't be able to save everyone" Allen turned his tortured eyes to Dumbledore
"But it is my job to save them. If I don't, who will?" Dumbledore sighed heavily and crouched down
"If its any consolation, I have seen certain aspects of magic similar to this and I know that that Akuma's soul is not lost" Allen gasped in disbelief and looked hopefully up again
"The dark matter as it was attacked with dark matter was not destroyed so yes, it is true that the soul is still trapped but if the dark matter that is used to trap souls is destroyed if it is wiped off the face of this earth I believe that all the souls trapped by the earl will be freed. If you destroy the means for making Akuma, then every Akuma will be saved"
