A/N: Before I reply to the reviews I got I just wanted to say thank you to all of you. I have received more reviews with just these few chapters than I did, with some of my other stories when they were this far along. You don't know how much that means to me, and I hope that you continue to review. Though it would be nice if you told me more than you just liked the story. It would be nice to know what you think about the characters and how the story is progressing along too. Either way thanks all of you for your continued support.

Silverscale: Thank you. Sorry but it would ruin the experience if I told you what powers Harry will have in the story. All your suggestions for powers are all possibilities, so you will have to wait and see what he has. Think about what skills he has already known, and expect for more to come.

DJ Rodriguez: Thank you. Yes Harry is in a position right now that will challenge him on many levels if he wants to get into this group. More importantly it will be good practice for him even if he does fail the tests. Because it will help him if he decides to go and kill Voldemort. As for him warming up the Ice Queen that is something time will only tell. Technically speaking Tonks already found him, though she didn't know Silver Wolf was him. Think about how they knew where to look for Harry and then think about your question again.

Rosiegirl: Thank you and I am glad you still like it. I can't wait to see what the organization is all about either. I know what my old organization was about that I called Jade Scorpion, but I am not sure yet how much I will allow into this one. Any and all thoughts and suggestions will be welcomed and considered.

ShadowDemon100: Thank you and I will keep updating.

Princessash: Thank you for the review. Well your wait is over for the first test, because this is Blade's Test in this chapter.

Pendragon92: Thank you.

Duper: Thank you Thank you Thank you! lol

After finishing lunch Harry and Blade found themselves outside the mansion, headquarters, in the large yard behind it.

Blade looked at Harry for a moment. "This test is pretty straightforward test. All you have to do is be able to beat me in combat without using any magic. I want to test your strength, agility, and over all combat awareness."

Harry looked at him with a gleam of dread in his eyes. Harry knew that he could hold his own in a fistfight, but this wasn't going to be nearly that easy. "I will do the best I can, but like I said I have never really worked with weapons."

Blade looked at him with a gleam of hope in his eyes. "Wolf you are focusing too much on the weapon aspect of the match. To win a battle without magic, like a true warrior, you need to look at all the possibilities. I like you Wolf, I don't know why, but there is something about your character that tells me you need to be on this team. Normally I would not take an interest in a new recruit. Normally I would just kick your ass and send you back home with your tail between your legs."

Harry gulped down the lump in his throat as he looked at Blade.

"However your different Wolf." Blade continued. "That is why I have decided that this test will not count. If you win, then all the better for you, but if you lose it will be a learning experience. I will use this fight to judge where you stand in your combat experience. If you prove that to me that you deserve another chance then I will give you one week to train for the real test. However if I feel that training would not help you, then I will have no choice but send you home. Do we have a deal?"

Harry looked for any signs that Blade was joking and when he didn't see any he replied. "Blade I promise you that I will do my best and try to prove that I deserve your training. If I cannot prove that during this fight, then you wont have to send me home. I will leave on my own, because I do not want something that I do not deserve."

Blade extended his hand and Harry shook it. "Wolf it will be an honor to train you, you have a warrior's heart even if you don't know it yet. Now you have a half hour to pick your armor and weapons. I advice that you choice wisely, but your choices will decide your fate in the fight. I will meet you back here in a half hour."

Harry grinned at Blade, and then realized that he didn't know where the armor and weapons were. "Ah Blade where do I get the armor and weapons?"

Blade just grinned as he realized that he forgot to tell him where they were. "Sorry about that Wolf. I will show you to the armory, and then you will have a half hour to get ready."

"Thank you." Harry said as he followed Blade to a building beside the mansion.

Harry couldn't believe the armory as Blade had called it. Harry had never even seen half the things that were inside the building. There were racks with a wide variety of swords on them. There were short swords, long swords, claymores, bastard swords and many other types. There were racks with all sorts of axes on display, ones with spears, and even more that had staffs and other weapons. There were cases with daggers, rapiers, and other types of throwing knives. The armor found in the room was just as varied as the weapons in the room.

Harry looked at Blade for a moment still trying to gain the ability to speak. "I can use anything in here?"

Blade could tell that Silver Wolf (Harry) was speechless by the armory. "Yes you can use anything in here for the fight. Though I must say that this is only a small selection of what we have. Though I think you can find enough in here to help you. Just remember to choose your weapons and armor wisely."

Harry was even more shocked that this was only a small portion of the weapons and armor that the group had. 'He had to be pulling my leg.' Harry thought as he looked at Blade. "I will thank you."

Blade nodded then turned and left Harry to get his weapons and armor for their fight.

Harry still couldn't believe all that was in the room. Though he knew that he didn't have the time needed to examine everything. He would have to choose as wisely as time allowed him too.

He started by looking at the armor. There was a wide range of armor from light armors that would offer little defense but a lot of maneuverability. Then it went to the extreme of heavy armors. They would give the wearer great defense in battle, but it would limit the ability to move greatly.

Harry decided since he was lacking in the experience department he would have to rely on his speed and agility to win. He wasn't the youngest seeker in Hogwarts history for nothing. He was determined to use that to his advantage as he looked at the armor in the armory. Finally Harry decided to go with a lighter armor so he could utilize his speed to his advantage. However he put on his dragon scale vest that he bought. It was designed to protect its wearer from curses, but it also would help with physical shots as well. Since it was light it would work great for a little added protection and still allow him to move freely.

He knew that he would have to put all his prior training to use in this fight, though a lot of it wouldn't help him since he couldn't use any magic. Harry looked over his choices of weapons and knew that he had to limit what he decided to use.

Harry picked up a few swords at random, but none felt just right. Then he picked up a bastard sword and tried it. Harry found that the sword was not that hard to control, it felt like it was almost an extension of his own arm. 'I might need something strong, but if it slows me down I can lose it.' Harry thought as he placed the sheath over his shoulder and slid the sword into it.

Next Harry checked out the daggers. He found two that would work good and found that they were small enough to throw at an enemy. He sheathed one on each of his ankles, and hoped that he would be fast enough to get to them if needed.

Then Harry saw something that looked like metal stars. 'Hmm throwing stars? Why would they have throwing stars, like a ninja or something would use?' Harry thought as he picked up a handful of them.

Harry quickly learned that there were more than just the stars in the case that would be used by a ninja. 'Well, well I think I might have just found a way to use my speed and cunning to win this match.' Harry thought as he placed more items into his pockets. 'I don't know why they have this stuff, but Blade did say I could use anything in here.' Harry thought with a smile as he finished checking the case.

All too soon Harry heard Blade yelling that his time was up. Though Harry would have liked to see more of what they had, he knew he was ready so he walked out. He made his way over to the spot where Blade was standing.

Blade looked at his choice of armor, which all he could see was the light armor he picked, and grinned. He also saw the sword that he picked, which was the only weapon he could see also, and Blade grinned even more. "Are you ready?"

Harry gave him a mischievous grin. "Yeah I think I am."

Blade was about to say something when Spade walked up to him and Harry. "Hey Wolf, Blade, I figured since you two were dueling for the test that you might need a referee. Since I know how Blade does his tests I will referee the duel if that is okay with both of you."

Harry and Blade both nodded, so Spade continued. "There are two rules that you must follow. First is that there will be no magic used of any sort, that includes Apparating. This is to be a battle as if you were both warriors and not wizards. The second rule is no killing. You may cause wounds, but no lethal shots. I can heal wounds and broken bones, but no one can resurrect the dead. The winner will be decided when the opponent yields or is rendered unconscious. Is that understood?"

Harry and Blade both nodded in agreement, so Spade continued. "Okay both of you step back and on my mark you will begin. May the best man win!"

Harry and Blade separated and put a distance of twelve feet in between each other. Spade stood off the to the side of the battle area. "3..2..1..BEGIN!"

Harry watched as Blade pulled out his sword for the first time and was shocked to find that he was using a bastard sword as well. Only Blade's was a two handed double edge sword, where as Harry's only had a single edge. Harry pulled his sword out and glared at Blade.

Blade seemed to be sizing Harry up as he looked at him. Harry didn't mind though, since he could use this time to get a better look at Blade's armor. Blade was wearing his normal black cloak, but Harry was sure that he still had his metal chainmail on under it. Harry knew from examining the chainmail in the armory that it was strong, and semi light. Not as light, as the vest Harry wore, but it shouldn't slow down or hinder Blade too much. The biggest problem with chainmail in Harry's opinion was that it was good against straight on attacks with a large weapon, but if hit by a small enough weapon it would go right through.

Harry got an evil smirk on his face as he thought about the chainmail Blade was probably wearing. Though he would have to get the cloak off him first to be able to do anything.

Blade couldn't make out what the smirk was about, but he took it as over confidence and decided to end the fight quick. Blade charged at Harry and attempted to swipe at his arm hoping to limit his use of the sword.

However Harry's agility came into play and easily dodge the attack. Though his lack of experience with a sword showed when he swung wildly at Blade. He missed Blade my inches, but managed to get a little distance once again between them with his speed.

"You are quick Wolf I will give you that, but if you keep swinging like that you'll hurt yourself." Blade said as he turned to look at Harry.

Harry just smirked as he said. "Is this a duel or a lecture?"

Blade laughed and then said. "It is both, every battle you encounter is a learning experience. How much you learn is determined by how much you pay attention to what you do in the fight. It is wise to try and learn from your mistakes and improve on what you did well."

Harry glared at Blade, but he knew he was right. Harry would have to pay close attention to what he did in this fight. Win or lose he would need to improve with each new battle he fought. It wasn't just about getting into this group; it was more about learning to stay alive for him. The better he learned to fight with and without magic the better he would be when he faced Voldemort!

Harry was lost in his own thoughts and didn't realize that Blade was now right in front of him until Blade spoke again. "Lesson one, never lose focus on your opponent you never know when he will appear in front of you. Lesson two, don't lose your only weapon!"

Before Harry fully understood what Blade meant by his second lesson it was too late. Blade swiped his sword connecting with Harry's sending it flying out of his hand about ten to twelve feet away from him.

Harry knew he was in trouble and quickly ducked as Blade went to hit him with the sword again. Harry hit the ground and rolled behind Blade quickly getting to his feet with a dagger in hand. "You missed a lesson, never underestimate your opponent!"

Before Blade even knew what Harry was saying it felt a stinging sensation in the back of his shoulder. Blade turned to face Harry and then reached around pulling Harry's dagger out of his shoulder. The dagger had hit him from behind before he could turn around. "Every good Wolf, and I deserved that one for thinking that you only had a sword on you. Though you do seem a bit at a lose now that your main weapon is even further from you."

Harry grinned at Blade, though he didn't like the current situation much. He had enough tricks up his sleeve to use, but he liked to have his sword for some protection. Harry kept an eye on Blade was he placed the dagger that hit him in his cloak after cleaning his blood off it. Harry knew he needed to get to his sword, but also knew that Blade would stop him at all costs. Harry kept a keen eye on Blade as he slowly moved his hand down inside his one pocket. He knew he only had one shot at what he was going to try, and if he failed he would lose for sure.

Harry slowly walked forward with his hand still in his pocket grasping an object in his hand.

Blade grinned as he watched him walk towards him. "What's this Mr. Wolf? Do you think that I will allow you a past me to get to your sword without a fight?" Blade asked as he laughed.

Blade was laughing when Harry got within range to do what he needed too. "Never, I know you will do anything to stop me, but I will do what it takes to get my sword!" Harry said as he pulled out his hand and blew the contents of sack into Blade's eyes.

Blade screamed in pain and dropped his sword to the ground as his hands shot up to his eyes. Harry took the opening and rolled a past Blade picking up Blade's sword in the processes.

By time Blade could see somewhat again, though his eyes were still irritated by powered, which limited his range of vision Harry had both swords in hand. "Like I said don't underestimate me Blade. I may not be able to use a sword as well as you, but I do know how to stay alive! Also what was it you said about losing your weapon?" Harry said trying to fight back his laughter.

Spade was impressed by Harry's cunningness and even more by his determination to win.

It took Blade a moment to realize what Silver Wolf (Harry) meant. "Wolf I must say that I have greatly underestimated you. Not only have you managed to get my sword, but you have also practically blinded me and wounded my shoulder."

Harry couldn't hold back his laughter any longer as he spoke. "Do you yield?"

"Hey now just cause I gave you a compliment, it doesn't mean this fight is over!" Blade said as he tried to focus his vision.

Harry quit his laughing and looked at Blade. 'He is determined not to lose, well so am I!' Harry thought as he continued to watch Blade. "Just checking, I didn't want to hurt you too badly if you were ready to surrender!"

Blade could feel his rage begin to grow at his opponent's cockiness, though deep inside he was proud because Wolf reminded Blade of himself. Blade reached into his cloak and pulled out a cloth. He tied it around his head totally covering his eyes. "Seeing with one's eyes is only part of the battle. It is far better to see with all your senses!"

Harry couldn't believe it; here he was thinking he had the upper hand, and now this. What was Blade playing at? How could he see to fight without using his eyes or some sort of magic? "Remember you said no magic!" Harry shouted as he watched Blade closely.

"I have not forgot Wolf, and I do not intend on using magic." Blade said as he pulled the dagger that Harry threw at him out of his cloak.

Harry then realized that this fight would be a lot harder than he thought. Sure he might have gotten lucky so far, but he was out matched by Blade. He had experience that Harry didn't on his side. As if on cue Harry's Auror training once again kicked in, in his mind. 'If he is using his other senses to see, he must be listening for the slightest sound to indicate where I am. That means I will have to use my stealth training to my advantage, though without a silencing charm I don't know how well I will do.' Harry thought as he continued to look at Blade.

Harry slowly and quickly knelt down placing both swords on the ground. He then stood up with his other dagger in hand. Using his stealth training as well as possible Harry started to move towards Blade well keeping a keen eye on him for any sign of movement.

Spade stood in silence just watching the battle going on in front of him. 'What is Wolf thinking now? Blade may not see him coming, but surely he will hear his foot steps.' Spade thought, though from his position he couldn't hear any sounds coming from the battle area.

Harry got almost too Blade when the dagger he was holding came flying at him. Harry quickly dodged it, just barely missing getting hit by the dagger. "How did you know where I was? I was barely making any noise at all."

Blade grinned as he looked in Harry's direction. "Hearing is not the only sense that can be used when blinded young one. I could smell you when you got close enough to me."

'Damn it!' Thought Harry as he slowly backed up without making a sound. 'Why didn't think about smell! I was so focused on him hearing me that I forgot that someone could smell odors as they came close.' Harry continued musing as he looked at Blade. Harry just grinned as he reached into his pocket again.

Spade was very impressed by Silver Wolf, but had no idea what he would do now. Even if he could be quiet, there was little to do about ones' smell. Especially after battling and sweating so much.

Harry quietly placed brass knuckles on to his fist and then held two small vials in his other hand. He took one vial in each hand and tossed them on each side of Blade, and smiled as they shattered on the ground.

"Awe for Merlin's sake who shit?" Blade asked plugging his nose as much as possible with his hand.

Spade laughed as he realized what Wolf did. He had thrown two vials that were filled with a liquid that acted like dung bombs. Only they stunk twenty times worse and would mask any smell within fifty feet.

Harry placed took the dagger in his other hand and stealthily made his way towards Blade without making a sound. Now Blade couldn't see, smell, or effectively hear. Though Blade did get to use his sense of touch. Harry punched Blade right in the side of the head knocking him to the ground, and then leaped on him placing the tip of the dagger to his throat.

Spade ran over to Blade and Silver Wolf. "Wolf you did it! Not only did you knock him out cold, but you could have also killed him!"

Harry couldn't believe it he had won! Harry watched as Spade revived Blade from his slumber with a grin on his face.

"Not only were you knocked out Blade, but Wolf also could have killed you had it been a real battle." Spade said as he officially declared Harry the winner.

Blade just sat there in awe. "I knew you could do it Wolf if you put your mind too it. I also knew that you would be too worried about failing if you thought this was your real test. That's why I said about it being practice, but since you won you have passed. Though it would be my honor to train you if you still want it."

Harry just smiled as he looked at Blade. "Sure I could use all the practice I can get."
