Juvenile Delinquent: Ch 2

Zane ushered Raven and Shade out to the car before the wizards could protest. Vlad and Zander immediately got in after them, and Zane ordered the driver to leave just as Severus came to his senses and rushed outside.

Raven and Shade entered HQ (Delgado Manor) just after Zane, Vlad, and Zander. They immediately walked to the council room and took their seats as Zane began the meeting.

"Now, as you all know," he began, "the werewolves have formed an alliance with us against that psychotic wizard, Voldemort. The delegations of vampires and werewolves from Germany, Romania, Italy, Australia, Japan, and Norway arrive tomorrow, the ones from the US and Canada arrive next week, France, Sweden, Denmark, China, North Korea, and South Korea arrive the week after, while Spain, Netherlands, Taiwan, Switzerland, India, and the United Arab Emirates arrive the week after that. There is a list that I will be passing around that will list the numbers of vampires and werewolves combined that will be here. I also want to say that recently it has come to my attention that we will surely not have enough room for everyone here at the manor. So, we will all be moving into Achilles Sanctuary. It is a castle in an unknown area and will be big enough to house all 95 of us as well as the 3000 plus vampires and werewolves that are coming here as well," Zane spoke, passing around a piece of paper with the list of delegations and their living quarters.

Raven received the paper and he and Shade looked at it while Raven's father went on with the individual missions of the vampires. The paper read:

Australia: 810 vampires and werewolves- West Tower

Germany: 647- North Tower

Japan: 500- East Tower

United States: 350- South Tower

Norway: 183- ground floor

France: 103- ground floor

Sweden: 76- 2nd floor

Denmark: 75- 2nd floor

Spain: 68- 2nd floor

Canada: 67- 2nd floor

China: 60- 3rd floor

South Korea: 50- 3rd floor

North Korea: 95- 3rd floor

Taiwan: 50- 4th floor

Netherlands: 32- 4th floor

Switzerland: 24- 4th floor

India: 25- 4th floor

United Arab Emirates: 20- 4th floor

As Raven and Shade finished looking at the sheet, frowning, they found Zane's dark emerald eyes staring down at them. "Something wrong, boys?" He asked curiously, running a hand through his mid-back length black hair. "Well, you've got these countries spaced out great and everything, you just forgot about us. Where will the English vampires and werewolves stay? And if the castle is in an unknown area, how on Earth will we find it?" Raven demanded. "Well, if you'd been listening boys, you would've heard me state where each clan was staying. You two are staying with myself and the rest of the Delgado clan on the ground floor. Your names are on your rooms. And the knowledge of how to get to the castle was passed on to me by my father, so I've made a few portkeys to get there. Anyway, Shaden, Ravenous, you two are meeting with Mr. Marcus Forier later today to talk about setting up a meeting with the High-Elves, are you not? Good. See to it that you are good ambassadors." Zane stated. The two brothers nodded and then Zane moved on. The rest of the meeting was spent discussing living quarters and alliances.

Raven and Shade walked out of the meeting, utterly exhausted. Zane strode out after them. "Boys, you must go to Grimauld Place and get your things as we will all be going to Achilles Sanctuary tomorrow to get everything ready before our guests arrive. Shade, you are as much my son as Raven is, and I know that you have a father now, but if you'd like to stay with him, you may." Zane said to Shade, who shook his head. "He may be my biological father, but Raven is my blood brother, and you were always there for a father-figure to me, Uncle Zane. I'm staying with you guys." Shade said. Zane, sensing Shade wanted to say more, called over Zander and Vlad. "Why don't you two take Raven out to the car. You'll be helping he and Shade pack their things. I need to talk to Shade for a while longer." Zane said. The men nodded and Raven reluctantly followed them out to the car that was waiting outside.

"Now, what is it you need to say, Shaden?" Zane asked curiously. "Uncle Zane, while Raven wont say anything to you, I feel I must. The muggles have been abusing him again, Uncle. He wouldn't say anything but I feel that it was far worse than any time before. You have to sign the mortal papers that say he's yours. Please, Uncle Zane. Don't let my brother be hurt anymore." Shade mumbled. "Don't worry, Shaden. Those muggles will get what is coming to them." Zane snarled. "Now, go out to the car and pack your things. If the wizards need to talk to me, tell them to go with you tomorrow, but bring no more than 3, please." Zane commanded. Shade nodded a goodbye to his uncle and rushed outside to the car.

The wizards were all gathered in Grimauld Place, one Severus Snape seething. The Weasley twins stood in the background; their heads bent together, whispering and laughing softly over a small bottle of a clear liquid as they added some ingredients to it. "Snape needs to lighten up, Gred." One twin whispered to the other. "Too right, Forge. He walks around as if he's got a foot-long pole shoved up his arse." The other said. "Well, you know, Gred, perhaps he has." "Eww! Forge!" "Anyway, I'm sure when we give this to ol' Snapey, he'll be tickled pink." Gred whispered as they added the final touches to their invisible potion. They called the house-elf, Dobby, and got him to put it in Snape's drink, saying it was an 'energy potion'. Dobby happily complied and 10 minutes later, as the drinks were served and Snape downed his, everything went silent except for the twins' snickering in the background.

Severus looked up to see everyone staring at him in shock. He quickly turned to look in the mirror and was shocked to find his hair had somehow turned a neon pink. Then, some blue flashing letters appeared. They read: 'You might want to take the stick out of your arse before it gets so far up there you choke on it!' Severus snarled and was just about to lash out at the laughing twins when the door opened and Shaden and Potter entered. "Shaden, where on Earth were you!" Severus roared. "I went to Raven's house for a meeting with his father." Shaden stated simply. "Oh, Vlad, Zander, you two can come in now." Raven called outside. 2 men entered and Raven told them how to get to Shaden and his rooms and pack their things. "Oh, and by the way, father, I'm moving in today with Raven and Uncle Zane." Shade stated as he followed Vlad and Zander to his room.

"Shade, get my stuff too!" Raven called after his brother as he sighed and dropped into a chair. "Potter, my son is not moving in with you!" Snape snarled. "Listen, Snape, my last name is not Potter. You may address me as Raven or Delgado, as that is my last name now. My Ada signed your mortal adoption papers and now I am Ravenous Sirius James Delgado. And my Ada is your son's uncle, which makes you my uncle, much as I hate to say it. Shade is my blood brother and if he'd like to come and live with us, as is in his right as a part of our clan, then he shall." Raven stated.

"What do you mean, mortal papers? Are you a vampire too? Is Shaden? And what do you mean you're my nephew!" Snape cried.

"Both Shade and I are half-vampires. My father and most of the rest of the clan are full vampires, but as we're all day-walkers, we are all tanned. Shade and I need a small amount of blood only once every 3 days, but we can survive off of having 3 of those honeydukes blood pops a day if there is no more blood around, as they are made with blood. Also, my father, Zanethial Achilles Delgado, was the brother to Kari-Anna Helena Delgado. Aunt Kari wasn't a vampire, but Shade was turned at the same time I was when we were 5. We looked up blood bonds when we were 11, and did the ceremony when we came home for the summer. Since you were married to Aunt Kari, you are Shade's father, which makes you my uncle. And now, we're moving to an unknown location and Shade is coming with us. He has responsibilities to the Delgado clan, just as I do, and we always work together. My Ada said you could come back with us, though, and talk to him if you have questions or concerns, though we can bring no more than 3 of you back with us." Raven said.

Snape nodded. "I'm going then." He stated firmly. "As am I." Dumbledore nodded. "Me too," Remus began, "Ha-Raven, you're like a nephew to me as well, and I won't loose you just as I lost your parents and Sirius."

Raven nodded, "Fine then. Come along if you must. Are we ready?" Raven pondered aloud. "Yes!" Shade called as he, Vlad, and Zander brought 2 trunks downstairs. Raven helped Shade lift his, as Zander and Vlad lifted Raven's. They carried them to the car and put them in the trunk before they, as well as Snape, Remus, and Dumbledore, climbed into the long black stretch limousine.

"Hey, Jake, take us back to the manor, please," Raven called. "As you wish, sir," Jake, the driver, said and did as he was told.

The ride to the manor was filled with Raven and Shade snickering as they finally noticed Severus' hair.

"I love your hair, Ada," Shade began. "Yes, Uncle Severus, it really does suit you." Raven finished, giggling. Snape snarled at them.

They arrived at the manor soon after and everyone climbed out. House-elves appeared to take Shade and Raven's trunks to the castle and unpack for them. Zane met them at the door. "Boys, Mr. Forier has to reschedule, I'm afraid. He will meet you sometime next week. Also, I'd like you two to go with Flash, Nix, and Pyro to meet our guests at the airport as Billi and Reed have other things to do."

"But, Ada, Dante-" Raven began. "I know, Raven, but this is more important at the moment. I will send him to your room when you get there, alright?" Zane asked. Raven nodded reluctantly. He quietly followed the others out to the car just as he heard Zane state: "Well, Snape, at least we now know pink really isn't your color."

Raven sighed as Shade grabbed his hand and dragged him toward the arrival gate at the airport. "But I don't wanna go!" Raven whined. "Ravenous Sirius James Delgado, get your skinny little arse into the gate, put on a smile, and greet our guests or when we get back I'm going to shove a stick up your arse!" Shade stated firmly.

Raven stuck his tongue out at his brother, which only made Shade latch on tighter to his arm. But Raven did, for once, as he was told, and put on a smile as he greeted their guests and directed them to a side alley so they could activate their portkeys.

Raven and the others arrived at the castle and Raven was just as awed as their guests were with how big it was. It was sort of like Hogworts, only a little bigger and even a little more inviting. A flag that held the Delgado family crest upon it waved happily to the guests and Zane met them in the huge dining hall. He gave a speech about uniting the immortals and rambled on for about 10 minutes that Raven didn't pay attention to at all. After that Zane told everyone the directions to their rooms and told them dinner was at 6:00 pm sharp. Raven and Shade strode up to Zane after that.

"So, what'd you say to Dumbledore, Lupin, and Snape?" Raven asked of his father. "Well, actually, they weren't quite convinced that you two would be safe here so I invited them to spend a few days here." Zane said impassively.

"YOU WHAT?" Shade and Raven yelped. "Well, I had to do something or they weren't going to let you stay, Shade. And Lupin was going to put up a fight about Raven staying, as was Dumbledore." Zane replied. "What floor are they staying on?" Shade sighed. "The 4th floor. Don't worry, I moved them as far away from us as possible. Of course, I also told them that you two were staying on that floor as well, but they'll figure out soon enough that you aren't when they can't find your rooms." Zane stated.

Raven and Shade nodded dejectedly. "Father, please, sign us up for missions for the days they're here!" Raven cried, Shade nodding in agreement. "I'll see what I can do, boys. Also, Dante says he and Scott would like to take you boys out tonight to the club, and hopefully none of the wizards will be there." Zane said. Raven and Shade nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Ada. Did Mr. Forier say when he was going to meet with us?" Raven asked. "No, Raven. I'm sorry but he didn't contact me. I would, however, like you two to meet with some people from Grunnings Drill Company tomorrow. I am thinking of buying the company." Zane replied.

Raven recognized the name. "Wait a minute, that's where Dursley works!" Raven objected. "Don't worry, Raven, he doesn't work there anymore." Zane smirked. "Oh." Raven murmured softly. "Now, boys, why don't you go to your rooms and get ready for supper and I'll give you some missions after supper for the rest of the week. You'll have to meet with some people and they're looking for some more bartenders at our club so perhaps you could do that in your free time. Remember that everyone else eats at the table assigned to their floor. Anyway, I'll see you at supper." Zane called as he strode from the room toward his office. Raven and Shade shrugged and followed him out.

Raven and Shade entered the suite of rooms they were sharing. The main room was painted white with cherrywood flooring and tables and comfy white leather couches. The bathroom was baby blue with light green furnishings. Shade's room was forest green with gold trim and Raven's was navy blue with silver trim. The library was red and gold and the kitchen was green and silver. They had a white training room and a beige strategy room with maps on the walls as well as several chairs around a large table. All in all, Raven and Shade were awed with their suite and made sure to tell Zane how much they liked it. They found their things already unpacked by the house elves and quickly changed clothes for supper. Raven wore loose boot-cut dark blue jeans and a tight black t-shirt, while Shade wore loose boot-cut light blue jeans and a tight red t-shirt. They quickly hauled on their muggle skateboarding shoes and rushed out the door so they would be in time for supper, which was just beginning as they arrived.
Albus, Severus, and Remus sat at a table and watched as the doors opened and Raven and Shade strode in, dressed in muggle clothes. They were about to waved them over when they saw the boys looking around, but then Zane stood up and called them up to the head table where the rest of the men they'd met earlier sat. Raven and Shade took their seats on the right and left side of Zane and then, as Zane sat down once more, dinner began.

After supper, Albus, Severus, and Remus caught up to the boys just as they were making their way out of the hall. "Boys, we couldn't help but notice that you two don't have rooms on the same floor as us." Albus stated, an eyebrow raised. The two looked at each other and nodded. "We know. As you saw, our clan ate together at supper. We also have rooms on the same floor as our clan. Raven and I share a suite of rooms on the ground floor." Shade said. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to meet with my father." Raven said, heading toward his father's office, Shade right beside him.

Raven and Shade entered Zane's office and he turned to look at them. "Boys, I've got a schedule here for your meetings and things. Here you go." Zane said, handing them a piece of paper that read:

Tuesday:

9:00 am – meeting with Grunnings

12:00 pm – lunch with French Minister

Wednesday:

7:00 pm – supper with German Vampire/Werewolf leaders

Thursday:

1:00 pm – lunch with Romanian Vampire/Werewolf leaders

8:00 pm – supper with Italian Vampire/Werewolf leaders

Friday:

9:00 am – breakfast with Australian Vampire/Werewolf leaders

9:00 pm – meeting with Japanese and Norwegian Vampire/Werewolf leaders

Raven and Shade had just gotten their missions for the next week and were just going to get dressed to meet up with Dante and Scott. Shade wore loose boot-cut dark blue jeans and a dark green silk shirt while Raven wore loose black leather pants that hung from his hips, black leather boots, and a black silk shirt with a white shirt underneath. After that they quickly grabbed their cell phones and left. Now that they had been to the castle, they knew enough about it to apparate back as they were keyed into the wards. They apparated to the club that the Delgado clan owned, called 'Hell', and found a disaster.
Raven and Shade looked around to see people running out of Hell, Deatheaters swarming the place. Dante and Scott were nowhere to be seen and the brothers rushed into the chaos to help. Shade and Raven were so into the fight that they didn't see 5 Deatheaters sneak up behind Raven and grab him, apparating with the small teen, who was relatively the size of an 11-year-old with muscles, tattoos, and piercings. The last thing Shade heard of Raven was his muffled scream.
