Disclaimer: Whom do you think own Harry Potter and Naruto? Not me because if I am, I have to be rich, not broke like this.
Author's Note: Uh…what should I write here? Ugh, just read the story! This chapter hasn't been edited yet. I probably won't update my fics for some time. I get a freaking test to finish.
Chapter FourThe Order Meeting
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the Grimauld Place right now. The phoenix order was having meeting about one thing: the yesterday attack on Diagon Alley. What was really baffled them was about the silver haired stranger who easily knocked out the death eaters.
"Are you sure that he jumped to the roof without spell, Moody?" asked a doubtful Shacklebolt.
Moody growled. "I know exactly what I see. There were other witnesses," he replied grumpily.
"I see it too," Tonks jumped in. "I was one of the remaining 5 aurors and I saw he defeated them without breaking a sweat."
"You couldn't see it when he wore his hood, moron," Snape bit out. Tonks advanced toward him hand in her wand ready to hex the potion master into oblivion, but restrained by Lupin who shook his head. She gave in and went back to her seat.
"How did he beat them?" asked Shacklebolt once again.
"Uh, I'm not sure…But I know that he didn't use any magic," she quickly added when she saw Moody's glare. "It looked like he used physical attack," she added quickly.
"No magic?" "Physical attack as in hand to hand combat?" murmurs of disbelief rang on the meeting room.
More like hand to magic combat actually, the clumsy auror contemplated inside her head.
"What did he look like, Nymphadora?" Dumbledore's voice quieted them. Tonks scowled from her seat obviously not pleased.
"He wore his hood, so I don't know. But he has silver hair and about 6'4", I think."
"What is the ministry's reaction about it?" he asked once again.
"Fudge tried to use it to his advantage saying that the man was his subordinate but wouldn't divulge his name. But I bet that he lied," one of the members said.
Mundungus Fletcher snickered. "That man would probably dig his own grave hole deeper and sooner than we thought."
"He sent 20 aurors to investigate and searched the man—which I have no doubt has already gone," Mr.Weasley informed
"I got some clue about the man actually," Bill Weasley said making all heads turned to him. He continued, "My comrade in Gringotts (AN: human not Goblin, mind you) saw a silver haired man entered the bank 2 days ago."
"Do you ask him what he knew?" Bill nodded.
"He didn't know his name and I couldn't ask the Goblin because they wouldn't say anything. But he said that his feature was veela like, which was why he remembered him in the first place. He was tall and has blue eyes (AN: Harry used his contact lens). Beside that, my friend knew nothing except that he seemed to be well respected from his posture and how one of the goblin escorted him to somewhere else which was not the vault. Probably to meet one of the superior."
"That was very good information that we have," the old man tapped the table as in thinking about something. "Is there is no way to ask information from the goblin?"
"Don't think so. Have tried, but the one who escorted him said that it was highly confidential"
"Say Albus, why don't we ask Tom whether he saw this man or not. The man probably stayed on Leaky Cauldron," Minerva McGonagall suggested.
"I think you're right. Kingsley, could I leave that task for you? And maybe you can also ask information from the stores in Diagon Alley." The said man nodded.
"Albus…is the man even a human?" the metamorphagus auror girl asked curiously. "What?" she snapped after saw the others' faces. "You know that you're thinking about it too! I mean, come on, he jumped 6 meters like it was nothing for Merlin's sake! And Bill said that he had veela face!" the other could see her point.
"But what creature can jump and have strength to beat death eaters like that?" a short bald man asked from the corner.
"Vampire? They have power and it is said that they are beautiful," another suggested.
"If you've forgotten the fact that he walked in daylight," Snape remarked quiet rudely. The black haired woman humphed.
"Veela?"
"I don't even know that there is even a male veela," Charlie pointed out. (AN: sometimes I wonder if there is male vela, but if there is none, does that mean that veela is hermaphrodite?) "Beside even if there is a male veela what was he doing in the middle of a crowded alley? His charm should have made women swarmed to him like a bee to honey even if he suppressed his veela power. And how come they suddenly has strength like that?"
"Alright, alright! I get your point! Sheesh, I'm merely giving an opinion, ya know." Tonks sulked. Everyone could see that she was in a sour mood.
"I want to make 2 search parties to find this man. One for the wizarding world and other for the muggle world," the Hogwarts headmaster adjusted his half moon spectacle.
"Pardon me, sir… but why muggle world?" Shacklebolt asked.
"Obviously because he would go there to avoid any wizard come for him and Leaky Cauldron is the entrance to London, one of the biggest muggle city," Snape answered for headmaster rather rudely. Shacklebolt frowned not liking his tone.
Tapping noises came from the window interrupting their meeting. All curious and some looked anxious when they saw a snowy owl carried a parchment.
"That's Hedwig, Harry's owl," Snape scowled when he heard Lupin said the 'accursed' name. The werewolf opened the window to let her in. Hedwig landed in his shoulder and let him took the parchment from her. Remus read aloud Harry's letter.
Dear Roasted Chicken Order (Remus and Tonks burst out laughing to the ire of others),
Incase you're wondering. I'm fine. Infact I've never been better than this. The Dursleys ignored me for the rest of my summer, which was EXTREMELY fine for me. At least I don't have to be a house elf anymore for them. Thank Dumbledore for his 'brilliant' idea to give me as a baby to them. Note my sarcasm here. Oh for professor Snape: if you want to I can show you my 'brilliant' and spoiled life to you if you let me borrow your pensieve. Again, note my sarcasm. Gee, I'm wondering if I've become sarcastic person now.
I'm bored here that I've finished all my homework. Yes, you got it right, I've finished all of it. Boredom surely a good motive to do something, right? Do I need to tell you about the Dursleys? Hmm…
Guess you have the right to know since your 'handiwork' on the train station caused their odd behaviour. Oh well… I don't have any chore to do anymore, which was a first in my life. Usually I have to weed the garden (which I should say a jungle), cook their food, clean the house, paint the fence, etc, etc. I thank you for your gracious gift that I don't have to do it anymore. They actually give me a decent meal for the first time, no wonder because they don't want me to owl you about the 'mistreating'. Now, where am I again? Oh yeah, they avoid me for any cost and just become silent when I am in their presence. Maybe they want to think that I'm not there. Moron… Dudley and his friends don't do 'Harry hunting' anymore. Thank God for that, for them—I mean. Because I'm not sure that I won't blow up at them. Fuck with Fudge and the bloody law if that happens. If he wants to expel me I won't give a damn anymore. At least after that I won't have any restriction anymore to use my magic. I'll snap his wand first before he could even touch mine.
Anyway could you let me not sending you letter every 3 days? I become sick of writing the same thing all over. By the way, do you by any chance know why none of my friends owl me? I've pretty much figure it out the reason, but I just want to ask, to remind you that I don't want to be like Sirius who was house arrested in his own home that he detested and then died afterward because of death eaters. I felt like a bird in a cage for Merlin's sake. Safety my ass! Oops sorry for the word of choice! This is starting to endanger my sanity. Sigh. But I don't think that I have any choice in the matter, right? Oh well, I don't care anymore.
My regard,
Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived-who-didn't-want-to-become-a-pawn-anymore.
PS: For professor Lupin: Don't worry I already get over of his death. By the way I've something to ask, when will I get my OWL's scores?
Remus finished reading the letter. He felt glad that now Harry got over of his godfather's death. Harry appeared to be having a change of attitude, something that was amused him. When he looked up he saw some stunned faces. Dumbledore and Snape looked like they ate sour lemon, while some others have disbelief looks. Obviously many people didn't know about his home life that their supposed to be saviour was treated like a slave.
Remus smirked.

The Red Dragons Order: …Mighty Canibals? (sweatdropped) How did you get this phrase?
Kanashii Wolf: sorry, but I've already had a beta for this fic. I also have betas for The New DADA Teacher, and Copycat Bloodline, but other than that, I didn't have beta for my other stories. Interested? An what is exactly your email? You only write mordantraccoons . Is it in yahoo, hotmail or in other sites?
Starjacker: From my already finished chapter, he will go to Naruto's universe in the end of chapter 9, but his whole appearance in that universe will be in chapter 10. So, it is still long way to go.
