Ch.30: Headquarter brawls
Remus and Emily left the hospital the next morning. Dumbledore had given them the day off in order to recuperate.
They were sitting in the heads common room talking, about Peter and how none of them had seen him and about MI-5.
"When are we going to go to MI-5?" Alicia asked looking towards Lily, who was sitting next to James. Lily looked up.
"I think tonight, Ben wrote to me last night saying he would be coming later to take us." Lily replied.
"Oh, shouldn't we get Frank and Alice?" Emily asked. She was sitting next to Remus.
"I told them to meet us at seven and it six thirty now, so they will be here soon. Ben is coming at seven fifteen."
"Do we have to bring anything with us?" Sirius asked.
"Just your selves and your wands I think."
The half hour past quickly and Frank and Alice arrived. They sat down on the chairs that surrounded the fire place.
Suddenly a creak of a door from the far wall opened, everyone turned around. A tall boy with brown hair walked in to the room. He was wearing black trousers, a black sweater and Doc Martins, black. He carried a large folder and had a gun holstered to his waist. He shut the door behind him and turned around.
"Oh hello." He said
Lily got up from sitting next to James. The rest followed.
"Hello Ben." Lily said coming towards Ben. She turned around and introduced him to the group.
"Everyone this is Agent Benjamin Croft, he is no longer a field agent but he is one of the top agents on this project." Lily said.
"Hello, it's very nice to meet all of you, as Lily said I am one of the head agents on this project. Please sit, I would like to talk to all of you."
They followed his wish and sat back down. Lily sat next to James and Ben whipped a chair out of thin air and sat down.
"Alright, all of you have been recruited in to MI-5. Within taking this position it is severely critical that no one and I mean no one knows about your status, status meaning who you work for. This is a muggle organization. We do not use magic, only on special occasions. In other words if someone finds out, you can't just put a memory charm on them. You could but in taking the job you are also committing yourself to the use of magic." Ben stated. He put the folder on the table.
"Now all of you will be trained as spies. You will learn how to shoot a gun, self defense and most importantly to not be found. Do all of understand?"
All nodded.
"In this folder is a list of all of your names, where you live, who your families are, and personal information, please check the information so it is truthful." He said handing each of them their own information sheets.
"Um my father's name isn't Michael, its George, his middle name is Michael." Emily said looking up to Ben.
"Oh I apologize. Here let me change that." Ben said and tapped the paper with his wand. The name was immediately changed.
"Are there anymore mistakes?" he asked looking about the group.
There weren't anymore.
"Very well; Mr. Langston who is head of the MI-5 is expecting all of you" Ben said getting up from his seat.
"Lily I brought the car, I can only fit two more people, and can you take yours?" Ben asked.
Lily looked up "Yeah, over the river?"
"Yeah, uh you can decide who you want to take." Ben said.
"We can go with Ben if you want." Alice said Frank offered as well.
"Oh okay we'll meet you there." Lily said. They all traveled through the portal and went outside into the muggle world. Outside parked on the street was a black BMW Ben went around the car and got in. Frank and Alice followed. They soon drove off.
"Lily where's you car?" James asked.
Lily looked around. Next to the portal door was a garage door. Lily pulled out her key fob and pressed a button. Suddenly the garage door lifted and a black Mercedes was revealed.
"Whoa, nice car" Remus said.
"Thanks, c'mon." Lily opened the front door and got in. the rest got in as well (It's a big car) James sat in front with Lily while the others sat in the back.
"Okay everyone buckle up." Lily said buckling her seat belt. The rest followed her actions. Lily turned the ignition on and put the car in drive. She pulled out slowly and made a right turn on the empty street. They drove a little way until they came to a red light where lily could see Ben's car parked. She pulled up beside him. She rolled down the window next to James's while Ben rolled his down.
"Hey Dancer! Get up the back end and around the bend. I'll meet you at the corner." Ben said out the window.
"Right, don't forget to lift up the tail when you reach mid air." Lily said. Ben laughed and rolled his window up.
He looked back to Alice and Frank.
"Hold on were going up fast." He said
Frank took hold of Alice's hand. Ben put his foot to the gas and sped off when they were about forty feet away. Ben pressed a button and the car lifted off the ground and into the night sky.
"Whoa!" James and everyone else exclaimed.
Lily looked to them with a smile "Hold on!" Lily followed suit and put her foot to the gas and full speed. At fifty feet out she shifted the gear to F for fly. The car rose into the air, high. They flew over the Thames River and over the suburbs of London.
"Wow Lily how did you get this to fly?" Sirius asked amazed by the sight of everything.
"A friend helped me out, Arthur Weasely. He's in the order." Lily said.
They flew for an hour more until they landed back down in front of the MI-5 garage, where Lily parked next to Ben. They all got out of the car and made their way upstairs.
Lily pushed for the elevator door. The door slid open where Barney, the elevator man sat.
"Lily, it's good to see you." Barney said with a smile.
"Hello Barney, um these guys are with me, they are meeting Langston." Lily said walking in to the compartment. The group followed.
"The fifth floor, alright." He said. Barney pushed the button and the doors closed. The floor digit rose one . . . two . . . three . . . "
Barney looked up; they had not risen yet to the fourth floor let alone the fifth.
"Hum. . ." Barney said he stood up and looked at the panel of numbers.
"There must some sort of holdup, this will only take a couple seconds Ms." He said to Lily. Lily shuffled slightly to get out of his way while he figured out the problem.
"That's odd" Barney said scratching his head.
"What is?" James asked.
"Nothing seems to be wrong." Barney opened the emergency telephone box and dialed four.
"Yes hello, this is Barney from the Elevators, there seems to be a problem with the shaft could you re boot it, we are stuck on level three heading up to level five, thanks" he set the receiver down.
A couple seconds later the phone rang. He picked it up. He set it back down.
"The just rebooted it, but nothing happened" he said.
"Barney did you take up Ben and two other people?" Lily asked.
"Croft no, why?"
"Croft wasn't here?" Lily asked surprised.
"Maybe he apperated," Emily said.
"No, no one can apperate into MI-5 we have an apperation shield." Lily said.
Suddenly a loud clanking sound came from above. They all looked up.
Suddenly the roof of the compartment came off and Ben appeared.
"Ben?" Lily exclaimed.
"Hello, Barney the elevator shaft is shot, I went to the one on the fourth floor and well I fell through, don't worry your friends are alright, they didn't follow. But something's going on upstairs; no one can get in to headquarters for some reason."
"Where are Frank and Alice?" Emily asked.
"They are on the ground floor. The whole center has been shut down. They think someone is trying to steel the book." Ben said
"I'll try to get the elevator going." With that Ben disappeared. Moments later the Elevator started to run. Ben quickly dropped into the compartment with the others.
"Take you gun out Barney, you too Lily. There might be some one in the clearance room. You all take your wands out."
They all did as was told. The door slid open. In the room stood, four hooded death eaters.
Barney called out to them. "Who the . . ."
Suddenly a purple light was shot at him and he fell to the ground.
Ben shot one of the deatheaters while the group started throwing numerous hexes. A loud voice come on repeating the words "Access denied" for the group was not yet cleared.
Lily ran to the key pad and entered her ID number the doors opened the headquarters had been some what damaged, various people were petrified and or killed. Some were standing with their guns drawn.
"Where's Langston Burns?" Lily quickly asked to the injured agent."
"He was petrified, I regained him. He is in the back." She replied.
James and the rest entered with Ben. Lily found Langston in his office on the phone.
"Lily thank god you're here, where's Ben?"
"Here," Ben said entering the room.
"We brought the recruits, but we arrived and the place was shut down." Ben said.
Outside Alicia and Emily saw Frank and Alice standing by the entrance room with a tall man who had blond hair and a name tag that said Ledford. D.
They ran up to them.
"Are you guys okay?" Emily asked quickly.
"Yeah we're fine. Apparently intruders of some sort entered this place in search of something. But they are gone now." Frank said.
"Excuse me who are you?" Ledford said to the four of them.
"We are the new recruits." Sirius said looking to the man.
"Oh, I'm Damian Ledford, head technician. I apologize for you all having to come at a time like this, we weren't expecting this at all." He said.
Suddenly Lily and Ben came over.
"Is everything alright?" James asked looking to the both of them.
"No the book was taken, not by Riddle but by Rockwell, he's part of the Italian mob." Lily informed.
"OH my gosh,"
"Don't worry I made two copies, one for us as a back up and one for Riddle, but that one has been medaled with, of course." Ledford said.
"Yes good work Ledford," Ben said patting him on the back. Ledford smiled.
Langston came over and introduced himself to the group and informed them that training will start in two days, but it would be starting a Hogwarts and then to MI-5's training camp, it would start at Hogwarts, due to the intrusion that night.
Ben stayed at headquarters for awhile helping out the damage, repairing things with Burns with the use of magic. With in an hour everything was set back to normal and those injured were healed. Lily and the group headed back to her car in the parking lot.
Lily walked along the very few rows of cars and stopped abruptly, as did Remus and Emily.
"What is it?" Alicia asked concerned.
Lily looked around and saw a car in the far corner with a red flash coming from its undercarriage.
"Get down!" Lily exclaimed a huge explosion erupted from the car and Alicia and Sirius were knocked over. James and Remus hit the ground hard. Lily looked about the garage and heard a car screeching towards them at full speed. They all got up and ducked behind cars. Each had their wands in their hands.
A man got out of the car and headed for lily. James went after him and stupefied him. Another man came out and was about to hit him with the grip of his gun but Sirius petrified him. Lily ran towards the car where another man was coming out. She kicked the door in causing him to fall back into the car. A man with drew his gun and shot lily. Lily hit the floor hard. James spun around and saw Lily on the ground. He threw numerous hexes at the men. They managed to get away, those who were not petrified that is. James ran up to Lily. He grabbed her hard pulling her up to him.
"Lily?"
The others came up to her. A few seconds past and lily's eyes suddenly fluttered opened.
She looked up.
"Damn" she muttered. James looked down and filled with joy.
"God. Are you all alright?" she asked using all of her strength to get up. James helped her up. The few men that were left behind. Were still petrified and they could see her waking up, which meant that they knew she hadn't died.
Lily turned to Alice. "Could you perform a memory charm so they don't remember this?" Lily asked Alice nodded and performed the charms.
Lily and the group headed back to the car, where suddenly several agents entered the garage. One of them was Ben.
"What happened?" he asked. With his gun held in his hand at his side.
"Several men came and attacked us, and a car exploded." Frank said.
"Is lily alright?"
"Yes I 'am I was shot, but I'm fine, I was wearing a vest. I need to get these guys back, I'll see you all soon." Lily said lowering herself into her car. She pulled out of the garage with the group and drove off. An hour and a half later they were back at Hogwarts.
They entered the heads common room. Frank and Alice left after lily told them to meet her at six o'clock the next day for training. Remus, Sirius, Alicia and Emily followed suit heading back to their dorms. James helped lily upstairs for she was still in a huge amount of pain from the bullet wound.
James and lily entered her room. James set her on the bed and helped her get dressed. Underneath her clothes laid a thick black vest. James helped her take it off and got her into her PJ's. Lily lay on her bed.
"Are you all right?" James asked sitting next to her.
"I will be, ow." Lily looked down at the massive bruise on her chest. James pulled out his wand and healed it for her. The bruise went away but old bruises flared up due to the fighting. James healed those as well and lay next her. Together the fell asleep in each others arms.
