Meet Team Chaos
Chapter 1: The Meeting
There was a small pop as in a swirl of dark robes Black appeared in the rather cramped room of one Harry Potter.
Black just shook his head.
"This room is way too small for a sixteen year old teenager. What pathetic family he must have."
"Well he is leaving here, time to get to work."
Shoving his damp hair out his face, he took in his new surroundings and noticed the Hogwarts trunk at the foot of the bed. Drawing his wand, he quietly made his way to it and lifted the large lid embroidered with the Hogwarts crest. Seeing as all was in order, Black closed the lid and whispered, "Reducio."
He then picked it up and stored it in the deep pockets of his long robes. He turned and did the same thing to Hedwig's cage knowing that the owl was on her way to Hermione Granger's house. She would then be sent to the Burrow where she'd meet up with Harry.
Suddenly, he noticed the Death Eaters closing in on the locked window. Black hurried over to a sleeping Harry and cast the disillusionment spell, whacking the boy on the head with his wand.
"Thank Merlin the boy has a hard head."
Harry now blended with his worn bedspread. Black aimed his wand at the window and muttered a spell causing the window to darken.
He finally turned back to Harry and after several attempts, was unable to rouse him.
Black grinned when he got an idea. He leaned forward and whispered annoyingly in a creepy voice.
"Psssst, Harry!Haaaaarrrrrrry! Hey Harry wake up!"
The black haired boy woke with a start. He stared into the dark void of his room until his eyes adjusted...no one was there.
Harry felt for the nightstand at the side of his bed until his hand met the reassuring touch of his wand. Putting on his glasses, he stood and walked to the window, but saw no one. Just because he was on the second floor didn't mean someone couldn't visit him.
He smiled as he remembered the time when Uncle Vernon had put bars on his windows so he couldn't get out and go to Hogwarts. Three of the Weasley brothers had come to his aide. They flew a car their father had secretly magicked to Number 4 Private Drive and had made quick work of the iron bars. Then they loaded Harry's trunk and other school supplies, even Hedwig.
His best friend Ron and one of the Weasley twins had started to help pull him into the car just as Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley came running into the room. They had played a painful game of tug-a-war, before Harry was finally pulled to the safety of the car as Uncle Vernon fell the two stories into Aunt Petunia's rose bushes.
But no one was outside at the moment. Just the rain, thunder, and lightning.
"Harry. Haaarrry. Over here. "
Harry spun around only to find a shadow beside his bed. He raised his wand and commanded, "Reveal yourself!"
The shadow merely chuckled before whispering in a strong male voice.
"Don't worry, I shan't harm you."
The shadow stepped into the weak glow of the first quarter moon.
"Don't move or I'll hex you where you stand," Harry warned.
"Please, like you could hurt me. You're not in danger, Harry."
Harry was less than convinced and only tightened his hold on the wand.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"I'm nothing more than..." the shadow began.
"Boy, shut up!"
The last word was said as pounding sounded at the bedroom door.
The semi-shadow glared at the door in annoyance. When the sound of retreating footsteps faded, he whispered, "Lumos."
The room lit up and Harry gasped as the shadows retreated to reveal a Sirius look a like.
"Hello, Harry."
"Stupify!"
"Protego."
Harry just gaped as the man deflected the hex with nothing more than his bare hand. He laughed at Harry's expression and it sounded just like Sirius's barking laugh.
"Do you really think you can take me, Harry? Come on I'm much more powerful. You're advanced, but not enough to take me on," the Sirius look-a-like boasted.
"Who are you?" Harry asked, again.
"I'm ..."
His head jerked up as if to sniff the air. He quickly doused the light and pulled Harry to him with a hand over his mouth. He whispered commandingly to Harry.
"Just call me Black. You're in danger, Harry. Dumbledore sent me to make sure you make it safely to the Burrow. From there it will be safe to floo to Hogwarts."
"Why are we whispering?"
Black removed his hand as Harry questioned.
"Because there are Death Eaters outside your window. I put a disillusionment charm on you. They don't know I'm here. Speaking of which, I need to remove that so I can see you properly."
Harry looked to the darkened window then back at Black.
"How are we supposed to get to the Burrow if we're surrounded?"
"I know Legilimency, I can try to convince them to leave, attack each other, turn us invisible, or my favorite... fight every single one of them. Which do you like, Harry? The fourth one?"
Harry could nothing more than nod mutely. He could just barely make out a half grin on the man's face.
"Me too. Only I'll have to leave that as a last resort. You're supposed to arrive at Hogwarts in one piece or Molly would kill me."
"Then how are we gonna get out of here, Black?"
"I do have a plan, Harry."
Harry grinned bashfully at the gentle scolding. To his own surprise Black felt himself grin back.
"I don't understand. If they're right outside my window, why don't they just come in and attack?"
"They can't. Hasn't Dumbledore told you?"
At Harry's blank look he sighed.
"It's because of the spell that he put on you when your mother sacrificed herself and your Aunt sealed it by taking you in, Harry. They can't harm you."
"But Voldemort..."
"Voldemort isn't out there."
Harry looked at Black with a new level of respect. Most people would have jumped at His name being mentioned. They would never utter anything close to the sound of it.
Black slowly eased open the bedroom door and pulled Harry out behind him.
"We're going to walk down the stairs very quietly," he whispered and Harry nodded.
They crept down the stairs as silently as possible.
When they reached the bottom, Harry was pulled behind Black just as Uncle Vernon emerged from the living room. His uncle took one look at Black and Harry who was half hid behind him, and began yelling.
"Boy! What do you think you're doing? Who's he? Get back to your ro..."
"Silencio."
Black looked at Harry and shrugged as Vernon gaped at the two of them.
"Don't want any extra attention," he explained.
Black turned his piercing eyes on Vernon and raised a winged brow.
"If you promise to stay silent, I'll remove the spell. Do we have a deal?"
Vernon nodded and was un-hexed. He stared dumbly at the tall man and was soon joined by Petunia who yelped.
"Oh my God! A robber! Please don't hurt us! Take Harry, jus..."
She was quite rudely cut off when Vernon covered her mouth with his hand. She cast a terrified look at her husband as she finally noticed Black's raised wand.
"Petunia, darling, be quite."
She nodded mutely and he released her. Black slowly lowered his wand and looked the two in the face.
"Now go back to your telly. Harry will be coming with me," his tone allowed for no argument.
The two adults turned around and came up short when they came face to face with a wet but lovely woman of about nineteen with black hair. A man, also wet, about the same age with light brown hair accompanied her.
The woman cast Black a stern glare and was rewarded with one in return.
"You were taking too long," she snapped.
"Oh, well these two slowed me down," Black retorted, pointing at the quivering muggles.
Vernon's face glowed red as he recognized the girl, forgetting the earlier warning yelled.
"Freaks! All of you! Get out of my hou..."
Vernon's face grew pale as he felt the words leave his throat but no one heard him. He turned to see Harry brandish his wand from the pocket of his pjs. His eyes widened as he realized it was indeed Harry who'd cast the hex, seeing as the tall man was looking rather shocked. Harry only gave a defiant glare as he growled, "Black warned you to shut up."
Coming out of his trance, Black only chuckled.
"Are we still surrounded?" he asked before she could start an argument.
"Yep. Petunia and Vernon go back to the sitting room. If you hear any racket ignore it. Mainly if it is in the next hour and a half. I'll even un-hex you Vernon."
The man nodded vigorously and was un-silenced. They finally made it to the other room while the two mysterious teens looked at a very confused Harry. The light haired teen was first to break the ice.
"Are you ready, Harry?"
"Err...I guess so."
"Good, we need to distract them to get you out."
"Okay, but who are you?"
"Call me Ranger and this is Rain."
The girl nodded then tucked her long hair back into the hood, pulling it up to conceal her face. She spoke tersely, "We need to get moving before backup shows up."
The man known as Ranger followed her lead and concealed his own face. He nodded and Black pointed his wand toward Harry's room saying, "Accio firebolt!"
Harry's broom flew down the stairs and stopped next to him. The other three summoned their own brooms. The girl looked at Ranger and said, "Go out the second floor master bedroom window and I'll go out the window in Harry's room."
The teen nodded his head in acknowledgement and replied, "Fine. When we give you the signal Black, you and Harry go out the front door."
Rain glanced back at Black and said, "Ranger will follow about ten minutes later as your backup. I'll do what I can to keep them from following you as you leave."
Though it was hard to tell, Harry could see Ranger glare at her before complaining, "I still think I should be the one to stay behind."
She sighed but her voice was authoritative when she spoke.
"We've already been through this. Now let's go."
The two teens made their way up the stairs, leaving a trail of water as they went. Black unlocked the front door, slowly pulling back the curtain an inch.
In the hallway upstairs the voices of the two teens were reduced to a whisper. Rain looked over at Ranger.
"As soon as we come out the window they will attack, thinking we're Harry and someone trying to get him safely out. Have you thought of a way to make them think that you're Harry?"
He nodded and pulling out his wand he cast a quick charm, and then answered her in Harry's voice.
"Of course I have. With the hood on they will never know the difference."
She smiled at him sweetly, a rare event
"You're bloody brilliant."
She pushed back his hood enough to kiss his lightly stubbled check.
"You be careful, Ranger."
"You too, girly."
She nodded then left to her destination.
Ranger watched her go before he let out a frustrated sigh as he thought to himself.
"Thank goodness I was wearing my hood, or she'd have seen me blush like a damn school boy. Why must I always do that around her?"
He just shook his head and entered the bedroom
Black looked back at Harry.
"Don't worry they're two of the best fighters I know."
Harry gave him a skeptical look.
"They were fighting over who got to stay behind."
Black chuckled and had Harry raising a brow.
"They always do. They're a lot like Ron and Hermione," Black rationalized.
It was then that Black actually took in Harry's attire.
"Really, pjs are for sleeping, not sneaking out of a dangerous situation."
Harry looked confused noticing Black's sudden interest in his clothes. The man smiled and pointed his wand at Harry.
"You should be dressed more comfortably than in pjs for flying."
A blue light shot out of the end of Black's wand. Harry glanced down in time to see pair of faded jeans replace his pants and a baggy shirt replace the ratty top. Harry knew he'd filled out due to age and playing Quidditch, but Dudley's hand me downs were 'special made' so they were still big.
Harry then saw a black beam shoot out from the tip of the wand. It engulfed the new clothes and he felt the soft weight of his school robes and cloak settle on top. He looked at Black with a raised brow. Black grinned.
"Well this way, Harry, you can go to the high altitudes and not freeze and the cloak so I don't meet an untimely death by Molly."
Harry chuckled as Black resumed his earlier job of watching for the signal, while outside things were quickly heating up.
As soon as the Death Eaters had seen Ranger and Rain emerge from the windows they went in for the kill. The Death Eaters hadn't even bothered to put on their masks, so the two teens knew who they were fighting.
Lucius Malfoy, who looked right mad, perused Ranger.
When he was in Malfoy's range he heard him yell.
"Die! Avada..."
Ranger rolled his broom barely dodging the curse and struggling to keep a grip on the slick handle
"That was close."
He pointed his own wand at Malfoy and shouted.
"Stupify!"
Malfoy easily dodged the hex
"Well two can play at that game."
He flew behind the teen trying to right himself and with trusted skill said, "Incendio!"
Ranger hissed in pain as the hex burned through the worn sleeve of his right arm. He quickly extinguished the light flame and glared at Lucius, yelling with vengeance, "Inpendamenta!"
Malfoy flew back. When he was steady again he warned Ranger.
"You will die this night Potter!"
"In your dreams. You'll never defeat me Malfoy!"
The teen with Harry's voice (Ranger) knew they couldn't see him and tell he wasn't who he claimed he was.
"Die Potter!"
Ranger dodged the killing curse shot his way and it hit a Death Eater in the back.
"Damn you! Avada..."
"Impendamenta!"
Ranger lowered his wand in time to be bombarded by five more Death Eaters. He easily took out two of them. He shot the other three back giving him enough time to glance back at Rain, only to see her knock down a Death Eater and make her way over so she was visible to the front window though still in shadow.
On his way to the ground Lucius turned around and saw her figure as he landed on the ground. She shot red sparks into the air and resumed fighting.
Black, seeing the sparks, looked back at Harry and spoke quietly.
"It's time to go, Harry, but first let's make ourselves invisible, shall we?"
No one noticed the front door open or close as the two invisible figures took to the sky.
"Where the hell had all this rain come from?" Rain wondered as she turned around to see what looked to be McNair coming at her full force.
His wand was raised before she could react. A scorching red light shot out of it hitting her in the side before she could dodge.
She looked down to see a three inch tall and five inch long tear in her robes the skin was burned and bleeding. Rain looked up at him and growled, "Do you know how hard it is to get blood out? Let alone how much it will cost to fix this?"
She raised her wand
"Stupify!"
McNair pulled out of range then before she knew what was happening a light shot out of the wand of another Death Eater's wand hitting her in the shoulder. She hissed and looked him dead in the eyes.
"Now you've done it! I'm really pissed now Furnunculus!"
She watched disgustedly as boils broke out on his face.
"Damn you girl"
He aimed his wand at her heart and screamed.
"Stupify!"
She just laughed and shouted
"Protego!'
The hex was deflected and hit Mcnair square in the chest.
She noticed three Death Eaters just floating around looking lost.
"Good, if they're all morons then they will be easy to take out."
Rain flew a circle around three of the fighting Death Eaters and chuckled.
"Accio wands!"
The wands flew out of the stunned men's grips and into her outstretched hand. They were quickly shrunk and stored in the deep pocket of her robes.
They pulled out what looked to be a ring, it turned to be a portkey and, in no time, they were gone. She turned around to find more at the ready.
She thought, "Great, they're multiplying like rabbits. They just better not ruin my robes anymore."
Sighing Rain quickly waved her wand and said"Impendamenta!"
They flew back about thirty feet and she grinned mischievously as and idea came to her.
"Accio broomsticks!"
The brooms shook off their riders and flew to her were they joined the wands from the earlier three. The broom-less Death Eaters quickly disapperated.
Before she could savor that victory, Rain found herself surrounded by more Death Eaters. She noticed Ranger at her back and hollered, "Hey 'Harry' we have seven down here."
He chuckled and replied, "Five here."
Rain saw a female Death Eater on her left that she'd never seen before. The woman shot a gray light at Ranger.
Rain yelled, "Protego!"
They were quickly engulfed in battle again. Lightning lit up the sky once more and Rain found herself face to face with a furious Lucius Malfoy.
"Girl you will pay for harming my friend," Malfoy predicted as he rejoined the battle only to take on Rain instead.
Rain looked at him with disinterest
"Are you planning on doing something, Lucius? Seems your friend left pretty quickly. If you call that a friend I'd hate to see your enemy...Wait I'm your enemy. See you almost made me forget, shameful."
She said the last with a slight grin.
Malfoy's face darkened to a pale red.
"Shut up, girl! You should be more careful who you mess with."
"Why Lucius that color is so unbecoming for you."
He could only growl as the Order members went back to back as they were surrounded. They whispered to one another barely moving their mouths so the Death Eaters couldn't see them.
"Time for you to go," Rain pointed out.
"I know. Ready?" Came Ranger's tense reply.
"As pie. One distraction coming up."
She pulled a pack of exploding snaps Weasley style from her pocket and threw it in the air. Before the Death Eaters knew what happened she raised her wand at it a yelled, "Incendio!"
The Death Eaters were momentarily blinded and it gave Ranger a chance to get away taking out two men as he went. He was almost undetected...almost. Malfoy saw him and charged, Rain spotted the man's pursuit and flew to intercept while the other Death Eaters were still blinded.
"Avada..."
"Silencio! Impendamenta!"
Malfoy quickly caught himself and spun around to face the woman left behind. Rain glared out of glowing eyes as the sky lit again.
"I think you should leave my friend alone."
Malfoy growled.
"This will be your final mistake girl!"
He grinned as the rest of the Death Eaters raised their wands.
"You'll never be able to stop all our attacks," came a creepy voice.
Rain glanced over to see Goyle Sr. and informed him, "Maybe not."
She flipped her streaming hair out of her bleeding face and challenged, "But I can sure as Hell try."
She made quick work of several men before they could do anything. She never saw the curse hit until it too late.
As Ranger flew away he nursed the arm that had been hit with a stray curse he'd been too busy fighting to notice at the time.
"Why did I have to leave her? I have a real bad feeling about this."
He was cursing the whole way and was almost out of hearing range when he heard the screaming started.
