I do not own Harry Potter, only the OC

Hello guys, Badger here. A new chapter for Ace and Lightning, which seems to be the most popular of my new stories so far. I guess people really enjoy the concept.

Before we begin, I want to address someone's comment about the use of drugs in this story. They didn't mind the smoking, but were concerned if I was only having the characters do drugs, because I think that's what bands do. This is not the case. There is a reason why its included and will be explained at some point in the story. There is a reason for everything in this story. That is all for now, read on and enjoy, and I'll see you at the end.

Chapter 3

Home Again

"H-Harry…" Remus whispered

As Remus got up closer to the stage, there was no doubt. The singer was Harry. His werewolf senses were practically screaming, close to blowing up. Harry looked different, different to what Remus was expecting him to look like. The tattoos, the strands of green in his hair. Remus wondered what happened after Harry ran away, for him to end up as a singer in a band, but he was going to find out. First things first, however, he needed to inform the others. Keeping himself disillusioned, Remus slowly made his way out of the night club, which was difficult because of all the screaming fans and mosh pits that were starting to form.

Lightning was confused, but quickly hid it, as he continued his song. He was almost certain that he felt a magical aura. And he knew it wasn't Ace's or Aila's, he knew what their auras felt like, Aila's felt calm and soothing and Ace's was calm, but also felt cold, indicating that he wasn't someone you would want to piss off. He hoped that it wasn't anything bad, he'll have to inform Ace and Aila about it. As he took a step back, so the guitar solo can stop, he noticed Ace giving him a questioning look. Ace was extremely observant. Lightning could be on the other side of the room and Ace could know if something was wrong. Maybe it was a magic thing. He gave Ace a reassuring shake of his head, making Ace nod and smile before turning his attention back to the guitar solo.

Aiden sat with Sirius, talking between themselves. Snape had left not too long ago, to prepare the blood tracking potion, as a last resort. Aiden didn't want anything to do with his parents anymore, not after everything he had learnt. After they took his brother away. When telling Sirius about it, he had recommended filing for emancipation.

"Would that even work?" Aiden asked "I'm not of age yet"

"Usually that would be true" Sirius replied "But, I'm sure that, after talking with the right people and pulling a few strings, it can be done…besides, I imagine it won't be long until James and Lily are brought before the courts…separating twins at birth is considered a crime and, when more people receive the word, people will be demanding their arrest"

"Well they deserve it!" Aiden growled

"I'm sad to see you think that Aiden" Dumbledore spoke up, appearing through the doorway

Aiden's eyes narrowed as he looked towards the ancient Headmaster. A man he used to look up to, like he was a grandfather of his. But now, he wasn't completely sure what he thought of the man. The man who gave his parents the idea of giving Harry away. It made him think. What would happen if his and Harry's situations were reversed, would Aiden have been given away, whilst Harry was raised by his parents and pampered and spoilt, whilst he went through whatever Harry had gone through, after being sent to the Dursleys.

"I don't care what you think Dumbledore" Aiden replied, coldly "I stand by what I said"

"Hear, hear" Sirius cheered, raising his mug of tea

"Aiden, you need to forgive your parents" Dumbledore replied "They made a mistake and hope to try and make amends and fix those mistakes"

"Dumbledore, you and I both know that what they done is considered a crime" Sirius spoke up "The courts won't care if they are trying to 'fix those mistakes', they will be demanding for them to be put on trial…I can only imagine what their punishment will be"

"They won't be punished" Dumbledore said confidently "If this matter is taken to court, they will understand when they are told the reasons behind the separation and the charges will be dropped"

"How can you possibly think that!" Aiden snapped "They…"

Aiden was interrupted, when Remus burst into the room, looking out of breath. The three of them, had turned towards him, each looking surprised at his sudden appearance, wondering what the man must have seen.

"Dumbledore…Sirius…" Remus panted "I…I've found him…I've found Harry!"

"What!" Aiden exclaimed "Where…where is he!"

"Guildford" Remus replied "He should still be there…but I don't know how long he will be there for"

"Well, lets go!" Aiden growled "Let's go and bring him here"

"Aiden, its best if you stay here" Dumbledore said

"No, you aren't going to stop me from seeing him!" Aiden exclaimed

"Aiden…it's probably best if you stay here" Sirius said, carefully "We don't know how much he remembers, so there's no way of knowing how he will react to seeing you…for all we know, he might resent you, for being kept by his parents, whilst he was cast aside"

Aiden felt angry, but relented. Sirius had a point, surprisingly. He sat down, as Dumbledore, Sirius and Remus quickly left the building. He didn't like that he couldn't go and help bring his brother home, but he could wait just a little bit longer, to see him again.

Lightning stood outside, behind the nightclub, in a back alley, alongside Ace and Aila. Hound and Ghost were currently packing up the equipment, ready to move the bus, whilst the three of them decided to take a short smoking break. He was glad that Ace had a pack of cigarettes on him, they all needed one, they were exhausted. As fun as it was, going from place to place, doing gigs and interacting with the fans, it did get tiring at times. It didn't help that he was working on plans for a new album with Ace, in between gigs. Both of them wanted to do something different for the new album, a new style of heavy metal they wanted to try, to add to their never-ending arsenal of genres they've already done. Lightning has actually forgotten how many genres of heavy metal they've done over the last few years, but he imagined it was a lot. The only hard part, was trying to find a new genre that fit with some draft songs they have written for the album. Plus, if what Aila said was true, then a recording studio, wants to make a cd single of their song 'Devil In I', just to add more fuel to the fire. Thankfully that isn't for another month, so he can rest a while. They've all been working themselves too hard the past few weeks.

"You know, the people in there really loved that new song we tried" Ace commented, puffing out another cloud of smoke

"Which one was that?" Aila asked "'Death to Magic'?"

"That's the one" Ace nodded, before turning to Harry "I was thinking, if it fits with the style, we can add it to our new album"

"Fans did seem to enjoy it" Lightning shrugged, as he thought about it "Fair enough, if it fits we can add it, but if it doesn't, then we could always release it as a single"

Ace and Aila nodded, signalling their agreement, before dropping their cigarettes and stamping them out on the ground. Hound and Ghost should be loading the last of the equipment, so they decided they should head out and help, then leave. Rest was desperately needed.

Dumbledore, Remus and Sirius apparated into a back alley, near the nightclub where Remus had found Harry. They disillusioned themselves to not be seen, and made their way down, before Remus stopped them.

"Stop" He said, sniffing sightly "He's not in the night club…my senses tell me he is behind the night club…and he's not alone"

The others nodded, before making their way around the building, where they saw three people smoking out the back, talking amongst themselves. They were glad they were disillusioned, otherwise they would have been spotted instantly. Sirius gasped as soon as he saw the black haired teen. It took every fibre of his body, to not rush over there.

"That…that's Harry?" He asked, earning a nod from Remus "He isn't what I was expecting"

They may have been standing a short distance from them, but Sirius could see the strand of green in Harry's hair, as well as the tattoos on his arms. How his godson got those at his age, he'd never know.

"That's what I thought, when I saw him on stage" Remus replied "He seems to play in a band of some kind"

"We'll worry about that later" Dumbledore spoke up, raising his wand "We need to stun those muggles and modify their memories, otherwise they might come looking for Harry and we can't have them learn of our world"

"No, Albus wait!" Remus said, lowering his wand "Don't…I think…I think those two are also magical"

"What, are you sure?" Sirius asked

"My werewolf senses are telling me they are" Remus shrugged "And my senses never lie…the question is, what do we do with them, they seem to be friends with Harry, by the way that they're talking"

"We'll take them too, so we can find out who they are" Dumbledore replied, quickly stunning the three, just as they stamped out their cigarettes

"Dumbledore!" Remus exclaimed "Why did you do that…we could have just spoken to them!"

"We couldn't risk Harry running off" Dumbledore replied, walking to the stunned trio

Remus and Sirius shared a look, before following after him. It was definitely Harry. The scar on his forehead, was all they needed to know. Sirius checked on the other two, to see who they were and was surprised at who it was.

"This is Malcolm Badgers son, James" He said "Whilst his father never had purple hair, he definitely looks like him"

"What about the girl?" Dumbledore asked

"She also has a resemblance to James and his father" Sirius replied "I'm guessing she is his sister, their parents were hiding for a year after all, it's possible she gave birth to a child in that time"

"If they are the last members of the Badger Family, why aren't they in Hogwarts?" Remus asked

"I remember their Hogwarts letters being sent out" Dumbledore stroked his beard "But they were returned, after rejecting the offer…I always assumed they went to a school elsewhere…"

"Well considering they seem to be friends with Harry who, funnily enough, didn't get a Hogwarts letter, your assumption was wrong" Remus growled "James was on stage with Harry, playing the guitar, they must have founded the band together"

"Hmm" Dumbledore stroked his beard once more "We must take them to Grimmauld Place, there are a lot of questions…questions that they can give us the answer too"

"But Albus, there were two others on stage with them" Remus pointed out "What if they come looking for them?"

"We'll worry about that later" Dumbledore replied "What matters, right now, is getting Harry to safety, before Voldemort finds out where he is…hopefully, when he discovers he's in our care, he'll back down"

Aiden wasn't sure how long he was sitting there for, before Snape entered the room, looking exhausted. Something the red head had never seen before.

"Sir, are you okay?" Aiden asked

"I'll be fine…and please, call me Severus when we're not in school" Snape replied "The potion is brewed and is waiting on standby just in case…"

"Well, we might not need to use it" Aiden replied "Remus believes he has found Harry"

"He has?" Snape asked, eyes widening "Well, I may have wasted my time brewing that potion, but I'm glad to hear it…I'm sure his dear and loving parents will be happy to hear the news, when they get back"

"Get back?" Aiden repeated "What do you mean?"

"The Minister demanded their presence" Snape replied "I imagine they are being called for a trial of some kind"

"Sirius did mention that people will demand they be put on trial, when they receive word" Aiden replied "Didn't expect it to be this soon though"

"Well, when the most feared Dark Lord of all time, loudly claims that the real Boy-Who-Lived was sent away, for his parents believing him to be squib, it is very difficult to ignore it" Snape said dryly "Especially when it was said in front of a large crowd, with witches and wizards from three different countries"

Aiden could only nod, before they heard the cracking sound of people Apparating. They heard Remus' voice, along with Dumbledore's and Sirius'. The two of them entered the living area, where the voices were coming from and found them standing over three teenagers, who were laying on the sofas, unconscious. Snape couldn't help but look at the at Dumbledore, then to Sirius, then Remus, to the three teens laying on the sofa, then back to Dumbledore. Aiden's attention, however, was on the teenager with black hair, with a strand of green.

"Is that…Harry?" He asked

Aiden wasn't sure what to expect, when they brought his brother back. As Harry had run away from the Dursleys, he imagined he lived on the streets, but his brother looked well kept and well fed. That tattoos, as well as the way he was dressed, was a surprise. The other two people with him were also a surprise. Why they were here, he didn't know, but Aiden was sure that there was a good reason for them being here.

"Yes it is" Dumbledore nodded "Someone better inform James and Lily, they'll want to know that their son has been found"

"That may be a bit difficult at the moment, Albus" Snape replied "The Minister had demanded their presence at the Ministry…I imagine they are being put on trial for what is considered a crime to many"

Dumbledores eyes widened, before leaving the room in a hurry, saying that he will be back soon, making Aiden amused as well as confused.

"Where's he going?" He asked

"Probably to defend James and Lily" Sirius rolled his eyes "No doubt he'll try whatever it takes to make sure they aren't punished for their actions…but let's not focus on that, let's focus on our visitors"

"Yes, pray tell" Snape drawled "who are the other two that your brought with Harry?"

"Well, Remus believes they are children to the Badgers" Sirius replied "His werewolf senses told him they were magical and they do share a resemblance to their father"

"I think we ought to wake them" Remus spoke up "That way we can get the answers to our questions…we won't get them whilst they're stunned"

"Why are they stunned?" Aiden asked

"Dumbledore" Remus replied, as he waved his wand, waking the three teens up

Lightning and Ace woke up with a jolt, whilst Aila slowly sat up, blinking rapidly from the bright lights. Lightning and Ace leaned against each other, as they helped each other up, groaning from the pain they felt.

"Did either of you catch the license plate of the bus that hit us?" Lightning asked

"Ask me again in five minutes" Ace replied "there is a loud banging in my head and I can't think at the moment"

"I think that's because of the heroin" Aila commented dryly

Before either of them could say anything else, a voice neither of them knew spoke up, making them jump, as they now realised they weren't alone.

"Harry, is that you?"

Lightning turned, where he could see someone standing in front of him. It was difficult to see them properly, as his eyes were being assaulted by bright lights. He blinked his eyes rapidly, several times, allowing for his vision to correct itself, where he found himself looking at a red headed boy, staring back at him in shock. Harry tilted his head slightly. There was something about the boy in front of him, that was so familiar. The more he thought, the more he could only think of one person.

"Aiden?" He asked

Aiden nodded, and was pleasantly surprised when his brother hugged him tightly. A small part of him feared that Harry would resent him, but now, with his brother hugging him, those fears were gone. Aiden returned the hug and held onto his brother tightly. The pieces that were missing were being put back in place and, for the first time, in a long time, Aiden felt complete once more.

It may seem like it was a bit of an odd place to end it, but I thought the moment was a nice place to end this chapter. Otherwise I would have written another 3000 words before finding a suitable place to end it.

Now, I thought of something fun we can do, for a way for you to be involved in the story. I lovely reviewer, by the name of Alek Sands had made their own song, based on the concept of the story, as a way of showing their appreciation for a story. The song was called Death To Magic and had a small cameo mention in this chapter. This idea had me thinking. If any of you create and submit heavy metal song lyrics, with a song title, your song may end up appearing in a future chapter, when The Outcasts preform one of their gigs. You don't have to, but I thought it would be fun.

That is all for now. I hope you enjoyed and I will see you next time.
