Arcangel-O-Death- Yes you are cool.
I just realized that I promised you guys driving lessons and an attack by Voldy. However I got so caught up in writing this that I totally forgot about it. Sorry about that. I tend to get carried away sometimes and forget about things totally.
I had to correct some things on here at the end. Nothing big i assure you just so I don't go against my own story.
Chapter 4 Newest Death Eaters
"Harry? You ready for your driving lessons?" Sirius asked coming in to find an empty room. He looked around and saw a note on the night stand.
Padfoot and Moony,
I have to cancel on our driving lessons for today. I got a tip about a could be Death Eater. I'm investigating it now with Ron. Cheers mates!
Grif
Harry had woken up early that morning when a owl was pecking at his head. Grumbling about roast bird Harry sat up and looked at the owl, who he realized was Hedwig. She was giving him a reproachful look.
"Sorry girl" he said sheepishly. "Didn't mean it. You just interrupted a great dream" Hedwig just turned her head and stuck out her foot. Sighing Harry untied the letter and gave his faithful owl a treat.
Raven,
Reason to believe that Zacharias Smith might be a Death Eater.
The Badgers
Of course he knew the Badgers were Ernie Macmillan, Susan Bones and Justin Finch-Fletchley. Ernie foot was healed as best as it could be when it got crushed by the giants after the attack on the Hogwarts Express. However his pinky to and the one next to it had to get cut off because they were unable to be fixed. Anthony had to get a piece of a magical prosthetic hip in order to replace the part he lose. The good thing was the you could hardly notice that he lost his real hip.(I notice I forgot to mention about them in the chapters after the attack on the Hogwarts Express in my other story so I'd figure I'd add them in now)
Harry grumbled about pompous prats as he got up. He found Ron in the kitchen and when he told Ron about the letter Ron was eager to help. It was common knowledge Ron hated Zacharias.
"Wait, what are you doing in the kitchen this early? In fac what are you doing up at all?" Harry asked Ron. It was barely 6 o'clock in the morning.
"I got a craving in my sleep for some food so here I am" Ron answered grinning. Harry just rolled his eyes.
So they planned it and decided they would do some sleuth work. They were going to follow him all day and break into his house to search through his room.
They went to muggle first and brought hair dye, colored contacts with no prescription and some coverup and then they went back to Potter Manor. Since neither was a metamorphmagus and glamour charms and the likes could be countered Harry figured that muggle means would ne the nest way to disguise oneself. So with that in mind he actually brought several boxes of muggle hair dye and a couple of pairs of colored contacts.
He and Ron both dyed their hair brown and Harry put in his brown colored contacts he brought a year ago. With the use of the coverup Harry was able to hide most of Ron's freckles because that was a big giveaway that he was a Weasley and his scar was barely visible.
They were sitting in the study going through the files to find out where Zacharias lived when Hermione walked in.
"Hello. I didn't realize Harry invited new members into the Order." she said, looking at them suspiciously.
"Hermione! How could you not recognize your best friend and your boy friend?" Ron asked her, pretending to be shocked.
"Harry? Ron?" they both nodded their heads grinning. "What did you two do?" she asked them.
"We are doing some detective work" Harry told her. "We are going to have to follow someone and all that other jazz and we figured it would be better if we were unrecognizable. Since wizarding ways either wear off after a while or could be countered easily we figured lets try the muggle ways"
"I know no matter what I do it won't stop you two and your damn adventures. Just don't get hurt" she kissed Ron and left the room.
"Here we go. He lives in Bristol in a nice size house on Churchill Street." Harry took out pictures of the house, there was woods in the back, perfect place to land. "He isn't seventeen yet so hopefully we don't have to worry about him apparating anywhere." Even though they both got their license it was hard to track apparting if you didn't have the right tools, which they didn't.
"Harry what about your invisibility cloak? Or a Disillusionment Charm?" Ron asked.
"Well I don't have my cloak. I gave it to Dumbledore, supposedly he has some big plan and he needs all the invisibility cloaks he can get his hands on. The Disillusionment charm isn't that great because people can still see you plus some people can detect auras with some trinkets, so it would be better if they could see us when they do it. Now are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be. Lets go" They both apparated to the woods at the back of the Smith house. Looking around Harry saw no one in sight and he didn't see any faces in the window. They both made a mad dash to the side of the house. "Capte" Harry muttered pointing his wand at the house. The small ball of magic floated to the house but right before it could hit the house though it collided with a green globe that surrounded the house. After a couple of seconds the green globe disappeared from sight.
"It is an intruder alarm" Harry whispered to Ron. "An alarm goes off in the bedrooms when someone who isn't keyed in tries to get into the house uninvited" Harry took out one of his wands and pointed it at the house. "Ontwapen" he muttered. A jolt of black light shot at the house near a window. Before it would collided with the house it hit the green globe. The globe seemed to absorb the black and it spread out making a huge black circle in the green.
"Come on" Harry said. He walked over to the black and stuck his hand through. "Good it worked. Alohomora" he said. A soft click could be heard as the window behind the black light unlocked. He pushed it open with his hand and the fully pulled his body through the black and into the house via window.
"Blimey Harry. When the hell did you learn this?" Ron asked as he tentatively put his hand through the black.
"It is a spell to help you get by wards but it doesn't last that long so hurry your arse up!" Harry snapped.
Ron put his hands through the black and onto the windowsill. He pulled his body through the window and stepped into the room. He shook his whole body as if the black thing was crawling on him.
"Baby" Harry said, Ron tuck his tongue at him and Harry gave him the middle finger. Looking back he saw the black fade away and the ward disappeared. "Come on lets go. His room is somewhere on the second floor." They tip toed through the house until they managed to find a staircase. Marching up the stairs they found four doors. "You take two and I'll take two" Harry said.
He walked over to the first door on the left and opened it up. The room as pretty dark so Harry had to change into his panther form to see anything. But when he could see damn was he happy. Tara Smith was laying on her bed in only her knickers and bra. He just stood there staring.
"Harry?" Ron's whisper broke through his stupor.
"Yeah?" he asked, as he turned back to a human.
"I found it. But we gotta hurry up alright. I peeked into one of the rooms. It turns out it was his parents room. Well when I closed the door I heard an alarm clock going off" Ron said.
"Relax, we'll go into Zack's room, cast a sleeping charm on him and search through his room. Hopefully his parent s won't come in and or anything" Harry told him.
Ron lead him to the boys room. They opened the door and looked inside. It was basically pitch black in the room. So Harry edged his way to the window and opened the curtains. A msall amount of light filtered into the room.
"Sono" Ron muttered, his wand pointing at the sleeping teenager. "That should give us about tw hours" Ron told Harry. Harry nodded his head in return. "Lumos" the tip of Ron's wand lit. Harry did the same and his light lit the room too.
"Alright, let's start searching. You know what we are looking for" Harry told Ron. They both started rummaging through things.
Harry was looking through the dresser for anything in there. He opened up the top drawer and started to rummage through the clothes. Finding nothing he closed that drawer and opened the next one. He continued to go through them and find nothing until he opened the bottom drawer.
"Ron can you check this drawer?" Harry asked him.
"Sure" Ron said coming over while Harry went to the closet. "Oh Harry! You didn't tell me it was the underwear drawer!" Ron yelled-quietly.
"Did I forget to mention that?" Harry asked innocently.
"Damn idiotic gits" Ron grumbled.
'Knock! Knock!' Harry and Ron both looked at the door.
"Zack?" a man's voice asked. "You awake?" the doorknob started to turn. Harry grabbed Ron and they both dived into the closet and closed the door. The door opened and a man peeked into the room. "Guess not" the man muttered before leaving and closing the door.
"That was close" Ron said as he got up from the floor.
"Ron what is that on your forehead?" Harry asked. Ron looked up and saw that indeed a piece of parchment was stuck to his forehead. He snatched the parchment of his head and looked at it.
'Bloody hell Harry, talk about luck! Listen to this 'You still have to finish your initiation although master was greatly pleased at your performance a week ago. Meet me tomorrow at Diagon Alley at noon and we'll discuss what you have to do' This was dated yesterday Harry which means he is meeting him today. Harry how are we going to get into Diagon Alley? It's in control of the Death Eaters?" Ron asked him.
"Ron I know this may sound crazy but do you want to join the Death Eaters?" Harry asked him.
"WHAT!?!?!?!" Ron asked outraged.
"Listen it won't be for long, just for the summer. We'll tell them we are foreign exchange students who will be starting at Hogwarts in Autumn. During the initiation thing or whatever we'll take out the guys that are with us and tell the others that me and my stooges raided the place or we'll moderate the memories of the guys that come with us. And if we get far enough in and they offer the mark we'll tell them that Dumbledore will be meeting us at the welcoming feast, no doubt to see if we are Death Eaters. Besides if we fail in any of it we could always just use our portkeys to get the hell out of their." Harry explained.
"How long have you been thinking about this?" Ron asked.
"Well I had an idea but most of it just came to me now." Harry said.
"So four this month we'll pretend to be Death Eaters?" Ron asked.
"Yup" Harry answered.
"Might as well. Besides we haven't gone on to many of our hare-brained adventures lately" Ron said grinning.
"Tis the spirit!" Harry said. "Let's leave here. We are going to have to go to our headquarters to plan this all out" They both activated the ever useful Potter Manor portkey.
When Hermione walked into the Order of Lightning Headquarters she saw Harry and Ron, in their muggle disguises, working furiously.
"Harry I found a pureblood family in Australia named Emerson. They have five sons, one is 16 and another is17. Their whole family has brown hair and blue eyes" Ron said to Harry. "Wait Harry are we going to have to know the kinds of curses they use?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, remember we went over them at those two order meetings. Sure we never actually cast them but we should be okay"
"What are you two doing?" Hermione asked skeptically.
"Can't tell you" Ron said.
"Top secret Order business" Harry told her.
"You two do know I'm in the Order to right?" Hermione asked them raising an eyebrow.
"Crap, I forgot about that" Harry said scratching his chin. "Fine me and Ron are going to pose as Death Eaters wannabee for the rest of the summer."
Hermione just looked at them and marched right out of the room. "Do you think that went well?" Harry asked looking at Ron.
"Nope" Ron replied.
"Alright I'll ask one of the twins to give me a haircut, they've been begging me since 4th year. Hopefully this time my hair will stay short." Harry said as he walked out of the room. He managed to find Parvarti who squealed when Harry explained the situation to her. So 10 minutes later Harry had short hair and spikes courtesy of Sleekeasy's Hair Potion.
"You ready Ron?" Harry asked him. It definitely wasn't Harry standing there. Standing there with short, spiked brown hair, pale blue eyes and no scar was Aric Emerson. And instead of Ron Weasley a shaggy mane of brown hair, pale blue eyes and no freckles stood Godfrey Emerson.
"Why do I get stupid name Godfrey?" Ron/Godfrey whined.
"Because he is the older brother and you look older then I do" Harry/Aric told him. Harry pulle out the wand he had in his robe pocket. It wasn't either of his wands because both were recognizable by Voldemort and his top Death Eaters. It was the wand of one of the Death Eaters in the dungeons.
"Come on, let's go" They left the room and navigated their way through the hallways to the front door.
"Harry" Dumbledore said coming up behind them. "You two can't do this."
"We are adults now, we can make our own decisions" Harry replied, not turning around.
"Harry you must see I have good intentions for my decisions" Dumbledore said.
"Your good intentions slowly turn to bitterness" Harry told him walking o9ut the door, Ron right besides him. They walked out of the house and pass the front gates. From there they apparated to a side alley on Charing Cross Road and walked to the Leaky Cauldron.
When they opened the door they were met with at least 10 wands in their faces
"State your business" one of the owners of the wands said.
"I heard this was the place to go if you wanted to serve the Dark Lord" Harry said in an icy voice.
"And who told you that?" a voice asked.
"Besides the fact that it was all over the news how Death Eaters now controlled the alley" Ron snapped at the man.
"How do we know you ain't just pulling our legs? What if you one of Potters bunch or what if you a mudblood?" a voice rasped.
Harry drew his wand quickly. "Are you questioning my lineage?" Harry asked furiously. "I'll have you know I am an Emerson!"
The men all lowered their wands quickly. The Emersons were like the Malfoys of Australia. "Sorry" they all muttered.
"Follow me" a shady looking man said. He lead them out the back and to the brick wall. The man tapped the right brick and soon they were in Diagon Alley, or what was left of it. A lot of the stores were just rubble. The few stores left standing had scorch marks everywhere.
They were lead to white building of Gringotts. Chunks of white marble were missing from the outside walls. Inside wasn't much better at all. Scorch marks were decorating the ceiling, walls and floor. Chucks of marble were scattered across the floor. Three Death Eaters were throwing spells at the door that led to the vaults.
"We've been spending over half a year trying to break down that door and none are working!" Voldemort hissed angrily from his throne.
"Master?" the one that lead them asked.
"What is it?" the white skinned man asked turning his gaze to them.
"T-these t-two asked to become D-d-death Eaters my lord." he stuttered out, squirming under the intense gaze of the red eyes.
"Who are you?" Voldemort asked them.
"I am Aric Emerson your lord and this is my brother Godfrey" Harry told him bowing. "We are exchange students and will be starting in Hogwarts this fall"
"More spies at Hogwarts then huh? Have you been sorted yet?" he pondered.
"Yes sir. Dumbledore wanted us sorted as soon as possible. My brother here is a Ravenclaw and I'm ashamed to admit this but I am a Gryffindor"
"A Gryffindor? Good, we have yet to infiltrate that house yet! Plus Potter is a Gryffindor, perfect opportunity to spy on him, yes perfect." Voldemort cackled evilly "You begin your initiation now! Bellatrix and Mulciber get in here!" The two Death Eaters came in obediently. "Put them through their first part of their initiation. Aric and Godfrey Emerson meet my most faithful follower Bellatrix Lestrange and another faithful follower Walden Mulciber"
The two Death Eaters sneered at them and Harry and Ron sneered right back. "Good, glad you are getting along. The first initiation is a duel with my highest Death Eaters. Depending how good you do and what curses you use will decided your fate"
"Are you sure these two are good enough?" Harry asked looking at Mulciber and lestrange like they were filth.
"Why you little..." Bellatrix started.
"Down Bellatrix, wait until the duel starts." Bellatrix smirked at him and Harry just raised an eye brow in return.
"Watch out for Mulciber" Harry muttered to Ron "He is an Imperio expert and you can't fully throw it off yet"
"Ready? Begin!" the Dark Lord shouted.
Harry didn't waist anytime and started to fire off mild pain curses at Bellatrix. The black beauty was forced to go into a defensive position as she avoided all the spells. Bellatrix dodgeda nasty looking jet of purple light.
"Crucio!" she yelled pointing her wand at the younger Emerson. Harry tried to jump out of the way put the spell caught him in his foot. The spell wasn't as effective as it would be if it hit him head on but it still hurt like a mother.
Struggling to hld on to his wand Harry gasped out "Douleur Pied" Bellatrix fell to the floor clutching her foot in pain. Harry sat up gasping in pain. "I can't believe that fucking bitch just did that" he muttered to himself. He looked over at Bellatrix who was on her feet and pointing a wand at him. "Cru...." she was cut off when Harry cast a pounding spell at her and it hit her right in the stomach. It was a spell used by bakers and butchers to tenderize meat or pound the dough but Harry found it could be quiet effective.
Harry was able to get on his feet while Bellatrix's stomach was continuously pounded by an invisible force. She kept gasping for breath as she struggled to get away from the force.
"End the duel Emersons" Voldemort hissed. Harry looked and saw that Ron was standing over Mulciber, who had big painful boils sprouting from every inch of skin Harry could see.
"Stupefy" they said in unison.
"Congratulations you two won against two members of my inner circle. Your choice of spells I noticed were mostly beginner Dark Art spells. Although I must say you have some creativity young Emerson. Never thought to use that spell in a duel" Harry cringed at the thought of giving Voldemort ideas. "Come here in three days at 10 o'clock at night for the final part of your initiation"
Harry and Ron bowed to Voldemort before leaving Gringotts. "So all we have to do is this final initiation and then we are in?" Ron asked.
"Yeah but I don't think it will be as easy as we think. I have dreams of some initiations you know. They go to muggle houses and the wannabees have to think of creative and painful ways to torture the family" Harry shuddered.
"Come on, lets get the hell out of here" they both disappeared with a pop.
"Harry, Ron Dumbledore would like to see you two. He asked me to tell you that he wants to see you in his office" Ginny said as she poked her head into the study of Potter Manor.
Harry and Ron got up and walked out of the house and to the end of the anti-apparition wards. They both apparated to Hogsmeade, where they then preceded to walk up to the castle of Hogwarts. "We aren't even in school and we're getting sent to the Headmasters office!" Ron grumbled as they walked to he stone gargoyle.
"Uh....Lemon Drops" Harry said. The stone gargoyle just stared at them.
"Ice Mice" Ron guessed.
"Sugar Quills?" Harry questioned.
"Cockroach Clusters"
"Ton-Tongue Toffees"
"Licorice Wands"
"Fizzing Whizbees"
"Canary Creams"
"Jelly Slugs"
"Drooble's Best Blowing Gum"
"Chocoballs"
"Fudge Flies"
"Chocolate Frogs"
"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans"
"Pepper imps"
"Peppermint Toads"
"Acid Pops"
"Toothflossing Stringmints"
"Cauldron Cakes"
"Pumpkin Pastries"
"Skiving Snackbox" Harry said growing frustrated "Open up you blighter!" Harry yelled at it. Amazingly the stone gargoyle jumped out of the way and the revolving stone staircase started to make its way up.
"Bloody hell Harry. Why couldn't you lose your patience earlier?" Ron asked him.
"I hate animated stone thingys" Harry muttered as he walked up the staircase. Ron knocked on the door and no one answered. Harry pushed the door opened and saw that no one was inside the office. The trinkets and gadgets still littered the area and most of the portraits seemed to be dozing off.
There was one portrait behind the chair Dumbledore usually sits in wide awake though. It was the headmaster before Dumbledore, Armando Dippet. "Who are you?" the portrait asked.
"Harry and Ron, Dumbledore wanted to speak to us"
"Oh yes he told me you two would look different. Hello Kincaid, Ritter"
"Why do you call us those names?" Harry asked.
"You see the name Harry does not fit you at all, it means home-ruler in Old English. Harold was a good choice, it means army ruler in Scandinavian but it didn't fit you well enough for me. I was going to call you Adalard which means noble and courageous in Old German but that didn't fit you very well. I thought the name Cedric which means war leader in Old English suited you but since I heard of what happened in your fourth year I figured that wouldn't do. Curran which means hero in Irish Gaelic would suit you well but I fear you hates being referred to as a hero so that one was out of the question.
"Duke which means leader in Latin was close and so was Meredith which is Welsh for great ruler but Meredith sounds more like a girls name. Dustin which is Old German for brave warrior. So after much thought I settled on the name Kincaid which means Battle leader in Celtic. As for Ritter here"The portrait turned to Ron. "I figured Ron which means counsel power in Old English wasn't good enough for him. His name was easier to find though because I knew Ritter which is knight in German as perfect for him" the portrait finished explaining.
"How do you know all about the names and everything?" Ron asked Dippet
"I have had seven children in my lifetime. My wife and I couldn't think of a good name by ourselves so we brought a muggle book they have witch a bunch of names in it. Well after reading it seven times I memorized a lot of names" Dippet stated.
"......." Harry and Ron just stared at him.
"What?" the portrait snapped defensively.
"Nothing!" Harry said holding his hands in front of him.
"Harry, Ron or should I say Kincaid, Ritter" Dumbledore chuckled as he walked into his office. "Yes we have several things to discuss but first I was wondering if you two could tell me what you found out today?" Dumbledore asked.
"Zacharias Smith is definitely trying to be a Death Eaters, his final initiation was today so he is probably one already." Ron told him.
"And he has spies in the three other houses but he has yet to get one in Gryffindor. He thinks me or rather Aric Emerson will be a perfect opportunity to get on in Gryffindor"
"So that means there is at least one Ravenclaw Death Eater and possible another Hufflepuff besides.... Agent Smith, isn't that right Mr. Anderson?(sorry couldn't resist myself) ....Mr. Smith." Dumbledore said. "Anyway, do you think there will be anyway to keep this facade going?" Dumbledore asked.
"Wha? This morning you were all against it and now you aren't?" Harry asked confused.
"Yes but you see we only have four spies in the Death Eaters. And they are all low class Death Eaters. He knows Professor Snape turned against him last timer so he doesn't really tell him much. He only keeps Professor Snape around because he is one of the best potion makers in the world. With the skill you two have you could move up quickly in the ranks"
"Only problem though one I don't want the Dark Mark and two I don't like to torture and kill people!" Harry said.
"He doesn't give the Dark Mark to students because he knows I check them and you could always weasel, no offense Ritter, your way out of it or get out of there and never return" Dumbledore said.
"What about classes then? His spies in Hogwarts will find it suspicious that no knew students were mentioned or are here"
"That is where my two friends come in. Tonks and my American friend Brad Merane. They are both Metamorphmagus so they can become the Emersons during school and for the meetings you two can go as them" Dumbledore said.
"Isn't Tonks are dueling teacher though and I thought female metamorphmagus can't turn into men and the other way around?" Ron asked.
"She quit last year. Since we have to Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers I figured Sirius can become are Dueling teacher. And Tonks can not have certain parts of the male anatomy. But she can have your hair, your eyes and your general body structure. " Dumbledore let them know.
"Fine but what about my hair? Harry Potter's hair is long and messier. Aric Emerson's is short and spikey" Harry questioned the old man.
"You are an animagus aren't you Harry?" Dumbledore asked. Harry nodded his head. "Well then you should be bale to change the length of your hair at will."
"What about fights between Death Eaters and my Order? My Order won't be able to hold against Voldemort and all his Death Eater with out me and Ron!"
"You are wearing mask aren't you? Just sneak off and join your side and when the fight is over go with the Death Eaters" Dumbledore stated.
"Fine I'll do it" Harry replied.
"I'll do it too" Ron said.
