Snake was up and out of the door before Moody could tell them that it was probably the kids. A second later there was a muffled scream and Moody swerved his eye to see Snake holding a knife to Harry's throat.
"Stop! That's Harry Potter. He's on our side." Remus shouted, alarmed. Snake narrowed his eyes at the boy who he held at knifepoint.
"Are you sure?" Snake asked, speaking for the first time. His voice held the killing intent that his eyes had somehow managed to hide, it was terrifying to say the least. Moody nodded slowly and Snake let Harry go and returned to sitting next to Fox.
Harry was still standing there, shocked and trying to figure out what just happened. Molly slipped out of her chair and ran towards Harry, checking his neck for any signs of blood, and breathed a sigh of relief when he was perfectly fine.
"Harry, dear, why don't you take a seat, we'll be eating dinner soon. You just got here today, so you don't have to do anything." Molly said, pointing to a seat on the other side of the table from the shinobi. "Are the other children coming?"
"Y-yeah, Ron and Hermione were right behind me, and Fred, George, and Ginny said they'd be right down," Harry said, never taking his eyes off of the strange masked figures. As soon as Harry sat down, the other children came into the room, pausing when they saw the masked figures, but then continuing to sit down.
Everyone was silent until Molly came back with plates full of food and started passing it out to everyone. "Thank you, Weasley-san." Fox said politely. Molly smiled at him, genuinely happy to see that at least one of the shinobi had manners.
"Arigato, Weasley-san" The other shinobi, besides Snake, muttered before tilting their masks up to reveal the bottom half of their face. The older wizards raised their eyebrows in surprise at how smooth and young the bottom half of their faces looked.
Fox smiled before taking a bite, revealing sharp and elongated canines as well as dimples. Tonks visibly blushed at the obviously handsome face. Wolf also had sharp and long canines along with strange red lines that went down either side of his face. Dove's mouth looked like it was permanently set in a straight line and not a single muscle moved except for when he took a bite.
Snake had a permanent scowl set on his face, not that anyone was surprised, they didn't think he was the type to smile or even look relaxed. Deer, on the other hand, had a very relaxed look on his face. He neither smiled nor frowned, nor kept his face straight. His face was just relaxed.
All of them had sharp jawlines and exquisite features and the wizards could all tell that they were all very handsome underneath their masks. Tonks tried not to focus on the fact that every time they moved his arms, their muscles rippled slightly.
Once dinner had finished a sort of tense atmosphere developed and the shinobi watched as Potter eyed them while giving a really weak half glare at Dumbledore. "I'm sorry to have to leave so suddenly, but something urgent has come up," Dumbledore said, getting up and walking briskly out of the room.
Harry was about to stand up and walk out as well, but Sirius stopped him. "Wait a minute, Harry. You know, I thought you would want to know about Voldemort as soon as you got here?" Sirius asked and Harry bristled.
"I did, I asked Ron and Hermione, but they said that they weren't allowed to know," Harry said, and Moody could tell his anger was slowly rising, and he knew the shinobi could tell as well.
"And they're right, you're not allowed to know. Children shouldn't have to worry about these things." Molly said, interrupting before Sirius had the chance to offer Harry information.
"I'm not a kid! I deserve to know, I'm the one who saw Voldemort come back to life! I'm the one who fought him last year! I saw Cedric die, and you want me to do nothing?" Harry shouted.
"I think he deserves to know, Molly. Not everything, but at least some of it." Sirius said, trying to placate both Molly and Harry. Molly looked like she was about to agree, but before she could, Deer interrupted the argument.
"He does not need to know." All of the other shinobi, who had put their masks down at this point, nodded in agreement.
"Who are these people, anyway?" Harry shouted. The other kids looked up in interest, also wanting to know about the mysterious strangers they had never seen before. Once again, Sirius was about to open his mouth but he was interrupted.
"You do not need to know," Fox said, his air of authority was back. Harry attempted to glare at him, but it had absolutely no effect. "In my opinion, age does not matter when it comes to matters like this. What matters is experience."
"I have experience!" Harry shouted once more.
"Be quiet when Taicho is talking, brat!" Snake hissed, and the entire room felt like it was wrapped in a cold and wet blanket. Snake's eyes turned red and many of the members shuddered at his resemblance to Voldemort.
"Thank you Snake," Fox said quietly. "As I was saying, what matters is experience, which you do not have enough of. Besides, it isn't that hard to figure out that the more people who know, the more people who can give away valuable information."
"I wouldn't tell anyone, and besides, how do I not have enough experience?" Harry questioned, still adamant about learning the order's secrets.
"You would tell someone if they tortured you or if they threatened your friends. And no, you do not have enough experience. We can tell by your eyes." Deer said, his voice still having a slight drawl in it. Moody nodded, he could tell that the ninja had experienced things worse than even the most experienced Auror because of their eyes. All of their eyes were haunted, the captain's more so than the others.
"Go upstairs," Dove said quietly, but there was a threatening quality that made all of the kids rush out of the room, including Harry, who practically stomped.
