Halloween

Four people were waiting in a large chamber, two were extremely annoyed because they were missing Halloween for this, one was excited for the simple fact that they were about to be assigned their 'mission', and the last looked preoccupied but was still joining in on the healthy banter between the four friends.

Harry looked at the other three members of this elite team, his family. They were the most important people in the world to him, for them he would do anything, even kill, maim and torture (although it hadn't come to the last one yet.) Jessica and Dan who were currently involved in a staring contest were his two bond-mates. They formed a triad, three people of any gender who were soul mates. He had been bonded with them both for almost six months and couldn't imagine his life without them. Jessica had long waist length dark red hair currently done in a braid; she was of medium height and enchanting sea-green eyes. Just like her hair she had a hot temper and a wicked sense of humour but could always be relied upon in a crisis. Wearing decidedly rock style clothing with the baggy hipster jeans and fitted belly top that showed off her tattoo and belly button ring she looked stunning as always. Dan was taller than both Harry and Jessica (Harry was in between their heights) and had short spiked up black hair with red and silver tips with eyes that looked black with hints of dark blue. He also wore the rock clothes with baggy jeans and a fitted green long sleeved shirt and choker. He also had on an ankle length trench coat to complete the outfit, whilst more calm than Jessica you didn't want to see him angry, and he could party with the best of them. Astral was the last member of this merry little group, with her white hair, black skin, violet eyes and wearing clothes similar to the others you couldn't miss her. She was the sister that Harry never had and could be described as slightly temperamental or moody as Dan so eloquently put it.

Of course over the last 14 months Harry had also changed. He had still kept the earrings and had his sight corrected and now his eyes were emphasized with a light lining of eye liner, and his face framed by his chin length black hair with dark blue high lights in it. He was still thin although now had an athletic build and the smoking was still a fixture and he now had the rest addicted as well. His choice of clothing also fit in with the rest, baggy black jeans held up by a belt across the hips and a tight black tank top with the words "Your village called, their idiots gone missing" written across the front in bold red letters. He also had on a choker and several bracelets across his forearms.

Jess, Dan and Astral are all one year older than Harry as Harry graduated the training to become a member of the Alliance in almost half the time of anyone else in the History of the group, they had all graduated together, and already being close made a great team. The Alliance was a group of all species (human, elf vampire etc) and talents such as Astral, a nature elemental, Harry, a spirit mage, Jess, a combat master and Dan, an intelligence and research master. Of course they could all fight with a large array of weapons up to a high standard, although they could never hope to beat Jess who was a true Master. They needed to be able to fight to do what the Alliance does, and always has done through out History.

The Alliance was created several hundred years ago, during a time of great upheaval to the wizarding world; its job then and now was to restore balance to the community, peace. By whatever means necessary. The Alliance was neither 'good' nor 'evil' as it could be either. Right now they were facing Voldemort so they would be classified as good, but not ling ago they were fighting on the side of the vampires and werewolves to obtain rights and so the wizarding world branded them as evil. So you see they could be either, but their one goal was to keep dark and light in balance because destroying one completely is almost impossible to do, and would have consequences none could predict, so a balance and Peace is what the Alliance fights for.

The four of them were sitting in the 'rec' room of the deployment centre waiting for their next mission; Astral and Harry were betting who would win the starring contest between Jessica and Dan,

"Five bucks says Dan'll win," said Astral

"Nah Jess has this one nailed, she hasn't even warmed up her glare yet and Dan is already sweating" Harry stated confidently, "What got them started in the first place?"

"No, clue. I wasn't listing, I was trying to figure out where we're going next" Astral replied. This was true as they were all ready to go with their luggage shrunk and in their pockets along with copious amounts of chocolate for Astral and Jessica.

"Thank you for your vote of confidence Harry,' Jess interrupted "But the reason I am glaring at our beloved Daniel is because he insulted me!"

"Hey I only called you a slut, and you know I don't mean it like that! And you admit it yourself you are one even your t-shirt says so!" it was true, in white across her t-shirt were the words 'if I'm a slut then you're a whore.' One of her favourite belly shirts.

"That's not the point! YOU are not supposed to call me a slut you're my boyfriend"

"You let Harry."

"That's different," she snapped back still staring at him, refusing to blink.

"How?"

Jessica didn't reply just glared even harder, on her glare scale she was currently on 8 out of 10 on level 'I will enjoy castrating you and causing as much pain as possible in the process' Dan recognized the glare for what it was and wisely backed down whilst at the same time moving slightly away from Jess as if to protect himself and breaking eye contact.

"HA, I won you owe me five bucks! You should know by now to never bet against me my dear, for I am never wrong"

"Yes all bow down to lord Harry, who knows more useless bits of information and worthless trivia than anyone else in the world" said Dan dryly.

"You weren't complaining when we went out last night, and I kept winning us all those free drinks!" Harry replies sweetly.

"Oh shut up. One of these days I'll beat you, and then we'll see whose –"

"Mages Shadow (Harry), Blade (Jess) Storm (Astral) and Knight (Dan), I wish to congratulate you on the success of your last mission and to inform you that your team was specially selected for your next mission.

"The four teens looked at each other, while it was an honour to be chosen for a special mission it often meant a lot of hard work and danger.

"Do you all have all you need for a mission ready and with you? Because you're being sent out straight away."

"Yeah we're ready" they replied.

"Well then, we have decided to take a different approach to dealing with Voldemort, you are being diploid to Hogwarrts, as we already have spies in the Death eaters giving us information, your jobs Astral, Jessica and Daniel are to become teachers at Hogwarts and get into the Order of the Phoenix and give us the appropriate information we need to plan attacks. Harry you are going to become a seventh year student back in your old house. You are to gage the mood of the students, report any rumours that need to be and start some as well. You are also to protect Hogwarts in case of attack. Do you understand?"

"Yeah"

"Good, and do please try not to get injure this time okay?"

"What? And deprive the healers of our wonderful presence?" replied Harry.

"Just go" said Sarah with a smile.

"Yes ma'am." They all gave a perfect military salute causing Sarah to start laughing.

The four all grabbed each other's hands and disappeared in a soft gust of wind courtesy of Astral. At almost the same instant they appeared standing just outside the main doors of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"You ready for this Harry?"

"Yeah guys, I hope they just don't hate me for what I've become."

"Well if they do well you still have us and everyone in The Alliance, we're your family now" said Jess, all three of them sending feelings of acceptance and love that they knew Harry's empathy abilities would pick up.

"Thanks you guys"

"Yeah, we're no giving you up that easy, you're a great shag and the only one who can control Jess and put up with me at the same time!" Dan exclaimed with an arm around his shoulders, he also received a slap round the head from Jess for that remark while Harry and Astral rolled their eyes

"Thats a comment on his patience for sure" Astral murmured but Harry heard it and smiled at her.

"Oh I feel so loved now thanks Daniel" he said sarcastically

"Lets go guys"

He slowly opened the large doors and stepped inside to the entrance hall with Jess at his side and Dan and Astral behind him, and they were met with several wands pointed at them by several professors and students with decidedly angry and un-trustful looks on their faces.

"Oh crap" they all said in unison.
