Chapter 2 ~ The Headquarters
The first thing Harry noticed when he woke was the sound of voices, however they were too quiet for him to understand what was being said. When he opened his eyes he found himself in bed in an unfamiliar room. It was rather dark, which he thanks the heavens for as he had a blinding headache, he moaned quietly. 'Where was he? Last thing I remember is.ooohhhh, they must have taken me somewhere and healed m-'
"Harry?" He heard Remus' voice say "Harry, can you hear."
"No, I can't hear you Remus I'm actually dead like I wanted to be." Harry answered sarcastically.
"How are you feeling?" Dumbledore said ignoring the sarcasm.
"Like shit, Thank-you very much."
"Well that's not very surprising considering the damage you did to yourself."
Harry just grunted and replied, "I hope your not expecting me to thank you."
Remus, who was obviously annoyed by Harry's rudeness, began to yell at him, "What the hell do you think you were trying to pull out there.were you trying to get yourself killed-"
"That was the idea."
Remus paid no attention whatsoever to this comment and continued his rant, "Are you stupid? Stabbing yourself in the middle of the street like that! Do you realise how much you worried us-"
"Be quiet, Remus, I have a horrible headache and you're not making it any better. And don't try to pull that bullshit about caring about me."
Dumbledore's reasonable voice cut in before Remus could yell at Harry anymore, "Harry, if we didn't care about you we would of left you on the street to die."
"Yeah right, you couldn't let your little saviour die now could you. Who would protect your sorry asses then?"
"Well Harry, if we cared about you as much as you seem to think we certainly would not have stayed by your bedside for almost three days without sleeping or eating from worry." Dumbledore continued.
Harry opened his mouth to protest this but could think of nothing to say so after a few moments he shut his mouth. While Harry was trying to find something to say, Dumbledore had turned to Remus and asked, "Can I have a few minutes with Harry alone, I have something to say. Why don't you go tell Poppy that he's awake." Remus looked about to protest, but then he looked into his eyes, sighed slightly and left.
Once Remus had left Harry's eyes fixed themselves solely on Dumbledore, who had wearily sat down into a chair at his bedside. When he looked up onto Harry his eyes looked so pained that Harry almost flinched. "Were you not listening to me at the end of last year Harry? May-be you just did not believe me, remember I said that I cared about didn't I? I cared about you so much that I risked the whole wizardry world because of it. (Her, he sighed sadly) I don't think you realise how much it hurt me not to talk to you, to not look at you when you looked towards me. Child, you not have noticed yet but you are more than just a student to me, you're like the grandchild I never had. well, may-be great-grandchild (some of the twinkle returned to his eyes). When I saw what you were about to do, I was so scared I couldn't even move to stop you. You almost didn't make it you know Harry, the whole time I could barely think I was so worried. I don't know how many times Minerva tried to convince to get some rest, but I simply couldn't leave you. I want you to remember Harry that you can always come to me, even if you just want to talk to somebody or get away from everybody. Now, child I think I had better let a certain werewolf in before he breaks down the door (chuckles lightly). I want you to go straight to sleep after Remus talks to you, I'll answer your questions in the morning, for now I'm going to get some much needed sleep." Dumbledore kissed Harry lightly on the forehead and walked out the door leaving it slightly ajar for Remus. Harry stared after him in shock.no one had ever told him they cared about him so much since his parents died.
He was snapped out of his shock by Moony's voice practically whispering, "Harry? Can I talk to you I promise not yell or anything." Harry still dumbstruck nodded his head not saying anything. Remus sighed slightly with relief before sitting down on the edge of his bed and holding onto his hand. "Do you hurt too much anywhere? Can I get you something? Are you comfortable?" Lupin asked quickly in one breath.
"I'm fine Remus, calm down." Harry said.
Remus studied him silently for a few moments as though trying to find something wrong before nodding to himself in satisfaction and continuing. "Harry you have to promise me you'll never do that again, I almost died when I thought I'd lost you. If you ever feel the pressures to much talk to me or anyone, just do something to help make it better. Harry I'm so sorry I couldn't take you from the Dursleys believe me I tried, I didn't give up until three years of being denied. The Ministry didn't believe a werewolf could possibly care for a child, let alone Harry Potter! If I had thought that you were being treated as badly as you were I would have come and got you in one second, Ministry be damned! You're my nephew in all ways but blood, and I love you. That also means that I feel responsible for your well being, and if you ever do that again that means I'm failing you. Always remember Harry that I'm proud of you, just like your parents would be if they were here. We're both obviously tired so I think it's time for me to go to my room, and you go to sleep I'll see you in the morning."
With that he stood and made to walk out of the room, but before he could make it Harry said, "Thanks Moony, Goodnight."
"Your welcome Prongs Jr. Sleep tight."
Harry soon fell asleep and for the first time in weeks did not dream that everything was his fault.
(A/N: Enough mush for now) °o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°o0o°
The next morning Harry woke to the sound of voice once again. This time he did not make sound and pretended to still be asleep while he listened.
"He has enough to worry about without this added on Albus," what sounded like Remus said.
"But he must be prepared for the worst. Constant Vigilance!" Someone growled out; 'Must be Moody' he thought.
"He already has so much pressure on his shoulders, it's a wonder he hasn't cracked before now, you paranoid fool!" Remus said.
"Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean you aren't being followed." Was Moody's retort.
"Albus, you can't honestly be considering it at a time like this!" came Remus' desperate reply.
"Remus, it's because things are how they are that I am considering this. Harry must be trained, no matter how much I dislike it." Dumbledore sighed. "You know that I'd be the first person to take this burden from Harry if I could, but unfortunately that's not possible."
Harry having quite enough of being spoken about behind his back decided that it was time to speak up. "And what if I refuse to. Weren't you people listening, go save your own arses 'cause I'm not doing it for you anymore."
They all turned towards the bed surprised to see he was awake. "Harry, I know you don't like this, to be perfectly honest neither do I, but you must listen to reason. Whether or you prepare yourself for this Voldemort will attack, and he will try to kill you. We just want you to be prepared so you'll live to have the life you deserve." Dumbledore said.
"You think I'll ever get to live life like I want to? Even if I do live and defeat Voldemort, I will be constantly in the spotlight, hounded by the press, I won't be able to go anywhere, do anything without people stopping and starring at me like an attraction in the zoo!" Harry replied.
"Harry you know there's no help for that, we must play with the cards Fate has dealt us." Dumbledore reasoned.
"I may have to play the cards Fate dealt me, but Fate's a bitch and decided to pick on me this time, I think she's stacked the cards in this particular game and I'm folding."
"Harry I know it seems hard at the moment, but as you rise up to the challenge you'll find it will get easier." Remus said softly.
"You put people on a pedestal, sooner or later they're going to fall and your expectations fall with them." Harry said and then turned his back to them.
Suddenly a bucketful of icy water was dropped onto him, Harry spun around and demanded, "What the hell was that!" Both Remus and Dumbledore were staring at Moody with gaping mouths, obviously waiting for an explanation as well.
Moody shrugged and then glared at Harry, "Until you decide to grow up and start training like you need to, I and whoever else I can convince to in the order will continually cursed or attack you. When you decide you are willing to start learning how to defend yourself and attack in return then we'll stop. Hope you enjoy your time, and remember you can't just wait until you go to Hogworts, I'll be there too." Moody growled and then stomped out of the room, but not before he had turned Harry's hair pink first.
"You're actually going to let him do that?" he asked the two remaining men, outraged.
"I'm sorry Harry but we can't stop him. You'll have to do the training or live with it," Remus said.
~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(~(
And so for the next two and a half weeks Harry put up with the constant attacks; and while he managed to avoid or dodge many of them he was still hit too much for his liking.
It was quite amazing that Harry remained so adamant about his decision after being turned pink, oranges, green, purple, and every other colour of the rainbow. Along with having every classic prank in the book pulled on him, and when Remus joined in on this (for his own good of course) it got ten times worse, as the pranks were on a larger scale, harder to detect, and lasted longer. Harry finally realised why the Marauders were considered the best pranksters in school history. That wasn't all either he had been changed in to almost any animal imaginable (penguin, poodle, turtle, sea cucumber), he had things constantly following him around hitting him (snowballs, water balloons, paint balloons, fake slimy frogs) and still Harry stubbornly refused to fight back or start training. And though Harry remain the appearance of being totally unflappable, inside he was seething, 'How dare they do this, just because I won't do exactly what they want.'
As he was walking down to the Hall (kinda like the Great Hall of the Order of the Phoenix, everyone gathers there) one afternoon trying to avoid the traps set out for him he heard people talking and stopped to listen hoping it would help him avoid any future pranks. Interestingly enough they seemed to be talking about him, "I'm really quite impressed he's lasted this long, I can't imagine be able to for this long." Someone stated.
"He is stubborn" Remus agreed, "He must get that from Lily, he has her temper too."
"What temper I never once saw Lily Potter angry" Minerva McGonagall declared.
"That's just the thing she rarely got angry, but when she did watch out! She could have you piss scared in seconds! Weird thing is she almost never got scared if it was her they were insulting, only if it was someone she cared about, or if someone was in danger."
At least we won't have to teach him much about dodging or seeing attacks before they happen." Dumbledore said cheerfully.
Then Snape spoke up; "I don't see why you expect Potter to be able to do anything so important. He messes up with the simplest of things, rather like his father. Anyway he's probably to frightened of duelling the Dark Lord again. He's just as bad as his father cocky and arrogant, thinks himself above everyone, considered rules bellow him. As long as he was happy nothing else mattered!"
And that was it, during Snapes' rant he had failed to notice all the plates and knives and forks rattling, the tables and chairs gradually began to spin and anything glass slowly started to crack and explode. Everyone else did, and quickly tried to hush him but it was too late. In an explosion of colour and light everything changed. They walls of the Hall had changed into different murals on each side; one had a group of talking dogs playing poker while making insults and snide comments about the people in the room. The second had a Large cat (looking rather similar to McGonagalls animagus form) cackling evilly while trying to catch a fish (looked an awful lot like Snape) from its bowl, while it swam around yelling, squealing (if a fish can do that), and cursed loudly. They third had blues sky and green grass painted on with flowers and lollypops dancing around singing 'Sunshine, lollypops, and rainbows' (hope you recognise that song). Finally the last wall were there had formally been a majestic picture of a fiery phoenix, now had a large painting of a fried chicken rolling around with gold letters above it stating 'Order of the Fried Chicken.' The people had also been effected some of the effects included: Dumbledore had a pink braided beard, pink hair in braided pigtails at the side of his head. His robes turned pink with flashing purple poodles on them.
Remus was dressed as a blonde hair blue eyed, 50's style housewife with an apron on saying 'Kiss the Werewolf,' and any one who came within 3 feet would do just that. A Feminine voice was also included.
Moody charmed to look like a 16th century English pirate complete with annoying talking parrot (often screeching Constant Vigilance!), eye patch, wooden leg, and he was charmed to often say such stereotypical phrases like "arrr" and "Blow me down"
Tonks, who had changed Harry into the sea cucumber, was transfigured into a three-foot amoeba, which changed into various florescent colours every five seconds. Above her water tank was a sign stating 'See, Water Cucumbers aren't the most pathetic creatures in the sea, I AM!'
Flitwick was charmed to look and act like Dopey of the Seven Dwarfs.
Snape was turned red and gold and three buckets full of slime (same colour) was dumped onto him. He then had bars of soap and bottles of shampoo constantly hitting him and following him around; and a sign was flashing above him saying, 'I'm a slimy, greasy git! Could someone please tell me how to wash my hair and bathe? I've never done so, and don't know how!' All the while singing 'Splish, Splash (I was taking a bath).'
(A/N: you know that song? O well if you don't, you get the picture. And if you recognise any of the pranks, sorry I didn't mean to)
Everyone looked around in shock; it was completely silent then about fifty small flashes went off from cameras found strategically positioned around the room. Harry could not hold it in any longer and burst out into hysterical laughter, he was the only one not effected by the changes. Every face in the Hall turned to look at him, totally flabbergasted. Harry looked up towards Remus and said, "I guess you were right Moony. I don't get angry often, but you don't want to be around when I do!" Everyone continued to stare at the laughing boy in shock and then Dumbledore started to lightly chuckle, and soon everyone but Snape and Tonks had joined in. (Tonks can't laugh she's an amoeba, for gods sake!)
After a few minutes Dumbledore looked towards Harry and stated through his laughter, "Well, Harry I guess you've finally decided to start your training then." His only answer was harder laughter and a slight nod from the boy in question who had now collapsed, clutching his side, tears of laughter runny down his face.
(A/N: Six whole pages!!! Almost 3000 words!!! Holy Shit!!! That's the longest chapter I've every written! Hell, because of this it's the longest story I've ever written! And it's not even done yet!!! Please READ and REVIEW)
