"Unleash your imagination and free your soul"
Ninjas at Hogwarts: Interrupted Meeting
Harry thought hard over what the paper had just said. His guards shivered in the cold darkness. To Harry's shock number twelve Grimmauld Place popped up, pushing the other houses away. Quickly Moody went up to the door and opened it carefully.
"Quickly, all of you in," he ordered. Everyone was happy to be in the warmth, even though they were surrounded by darkness. Slowly the old light flickered on. The light floated on the walls like dying souls. The wallpaper was fading and peeling as the carpet seemed to be alive with bugs. With many strange artifacts one could think this was the home of a dark wizard, not what was the Order of the Phoenix, or whatever that was.
Harry looked up and saw Mrs. Weasley coming down the stairs. She smiled and waved. "Oh, Harry it's wonderful to see you!" she whispered as she pulled him into a bear hug.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," Harry groaned.
"Oh I'll get dinner for you as soon as the meeting ends." Harry looked at the guards who looked happy for the meeting. Everyone shuffled into a room, Harry tried to go in but Mrs. Weasley told him it was for members only.
"Oh and try not to wake anything up, will you dear?" Mrs. Weasley told him.
"What?" was Harry's reaction as she too slipped into the room.
"Welcome to another meeting," said Mrs. Weasley as she sat down at a table next to Mr. Weasley.. "Are we all accounted for?"
"Yes Molly," said Lupin. "Now what are the plans again?" he asked looking all around. One man looked like a drunk and was fast asleep. No one had bothered to wake him up.
"First off am I going to be the teacher this year?" asked Kakashi as he mixed sugar into his tea.
"Yes, you and Konton will teach, and you will also be guarding Harry," said the man going by the name Kingsly Schackelbolt.
"What about your student? Are they going to protect Harry too?" asked Mr. Weasley.
"Yes, I made sure that the best of the best students were going to be here," Kakashi told them as a few people were shocked to see that most of Kakashi's tea was gone. They wondered how he ate with the mask on.
"Yes, yes and what will we do with Potter for now?" asked Moody.
"Well, if I know Harry, he will most certainly want to know what has been going on," Lupin said gravely taking a tea cup from Mrs. Weasley. "Thanks Molly."
"But Dumbledore said that he is not to know." Mrs. Weasley looked very pale.
"SO YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE MEETING, BIG DEAL!" came a roar from Harry.
"Speak of the devil." muttered Konton.
"YOU'VE STILL BEEN HERE, HAVEN'T YOU? YOU'VE STILL BEEN TOGETHER! ME, I'VE BEEN STUCK IN THE DURSLEY'S FOR A MONTH! AND I'VE HANDLED MORE THAN YOU TWO EVER MANAGED AND DUMBLEDORE KNOWS IT!"
"Quite a temper that one,." Konton said, all were looking grave as they heard Harry's rampage.
"WHO SAVED THE SORCERER'S STONE? WHO GOT RID OF RIDDLE? WHO SAVED BOTH YOUR SKINS FROM THE DEMENTORS?" Harry continued with his long rampaging speech as Mrs. Weasley tried to speak over him.
"I think that we need to-'FOR WEEKS I'VE BEEN STUCK AT PRIVIT DRIVE, NICKING PAPERS OUT OF BINS TO TRY TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON' -to go over our plan for this year again." she said with a sigh.
Harry seemed to calm down from his yelling and sat on the dirty bed. Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione stared at him, fearful that he might snap again. The twins had just told Harry about Percy betraying the Weasleys.
"Hey, can you guys keep it down, man you are troublesome," came an annoyed voice, once again heavy with accent.
"The least you could do is to be awake Shikamaru," Ginny said hotly.
"..." Harry looked over to see on a makeshift bed by the window laid a boy, about his age, just sitting there, with a rubic cube. He tossed his puzzle with a yawn into an overflowing pile of rubic cubes.
"Who are you?" Harry asked. The boy looked up. His hair was tied up in a way that made him look like a pineapple.
"Nara Shikamaru...or for you Shikamaru Nara," he yawned and looked up at everyone. "What?"
"Oh, this year we are having exchange students. This is one of them." Hermione said pointing at him. Shikamaru gave a very lazy wave. "There are three more here. They have their own room. You Ron and Shikamaru will sleep here."
"I think they are about done down there," Shikamaru said standing up. "I wonder what we are having for dinner." With that he walked outside. Silence crept over the room when Shikamaru left.
"He's strange like that," whispered Ginny.
Soon people started to file out of the house. As a rubbery piece of cartilage slithered down to the group Konton looked up. It was one of the twin's expandable ears. She smiled and gave it a yank.
"Ow!" Fred said quietly. Everyone left except for Kakashi, Moody, Lupin, the Weasleys and Tonks. Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others came down the stairs.
"Feeling any better Harry?" asked Konton giving a happy smile. Harry gave a face that was a half smile, half glare.
"Harry, we will be eating in the kitchen. Hope you're hungry," Crash! "Tonks!" Mrs. Weasley looked very angry.
"I'm sorry! Its the stupid umbrella stand! That's the second time I've tripped over the-" the rest of her words were not heard for a shrill screaming came from behind a moth-eaten curtain. A woman was screaming in her portrait and she awoke many other paintings. Mrs. Weasley and Lupin tried to close the curtain to no avail.
"Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers-"
Tonks apologized over and over again, at the same time Konton picked up the troll leg umbrella stand. Then a man with long black hair ran up to the portrait. Harry and the others had clasped their hands over their ears. Shikamaru walked out with a cup of tea, muttering troublesome, but no one could hear it.
"Shut up you old hag!" yelled Sirius as he helped close the curtain.
"Youuu! You are a blood traitor! You are the filth of my flesh!" Her eyes seemed to pop out when she saw Sirius.
"Be quiet you hag!" Finally they managed to silence the woman. "Hello Harry." Sirius beamed at Harry.
Sorry, I wanted to make more but my computer is acting up at the moment. R&R!
