Shadow Wolves
By Littletrickstergirl
Okay guys I hope this chapter will answer some of you questions. I hope...I may suffer from slight amnesia (Is that how you spell it) so I can't exactly remember some of the little things I put in my last chapter, and as I didn't write it on my computer and don't have access to the internet right now, Well Ya. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: What Can Happen in a Month
Harry and Lee appparated to their apartment well after midnight. Harry yawned and unlocked the door. He stumbled inside with Lee close behind. Yawning again, the blue haired boy shook his head and threw himself on the couch . He closed his eyes for a moment but opened them again slowly to find Lee poking him rather hard in the chest. Harry raised an eye brow. "I you'd better have a good reason
for disturbing me." He told Lee in a warning tone that advised the older boy it would be a good idea to stop.
"Hey mate, I'm calling the Jon. I need a shower more than you. I smell like a boozer."
"I don't qualify that as a good reason. And maybe because you are."
"Do I have the right to remain silent?"
"Just get in the bloody shower. You stinking up the place." Harry growled.
Lee whistled innocently and skipped off to the bathroom. Rolling his eyes Harry pulled himself off the couch with great effort. He waited half an hour for Jordan to get out of the shower. Harry grumbled something about girls who take hour long showers, received a well earned glare, and smirked in return. After a very refreshing shower he slipped into a pair of jogging pants and toweled his hair dry before joining Lee at the dining table.
"I can't believe your not laying unconscious in the doorway Jordan. How do you manage to drink 4 glasses of Fire Whiskey and still be able to walk in a straight line!" Harry complained. Lee could out more booze and alcohol than anyone else in London. Not that Harry tried to beat him. Truth be told The Boy Who Lived was non to fond of anything like that.
The Hogwarts graduate frowned, and inspected his nails. "It is a well practiced skill you little whipper snapper. Comes with ages don't cha know!"
"Bull Shit! Although I gotta say you did a right smart job of McGonagell. Did you see her face! I thought she was gunna turn into a tomato when you planted a big smacker on her. Good thing she thought you were drunk though!"
Lee rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Yes it was quite amusing, I'll treasure that picture you got forever." He sighed lovingly, then pointed a finger at Harry accusingly ,one hand on his heart. "You though. You out did me this time! I am shamed I let myself be out done! But I figured to play it fairly low since I'm at the top of Molly's 3 strikes list."
"Your just jealous of my pranking brilliance. And It was a brilliant success if I do say so myself."
Flash Back………
"Okay remember the plan. We need a clear target of his head to make this work." Sirius said seriously (Sorry couldn't help myself). Harry alas Raven nodded vigorously and let a smirk onto his face that was identical to his godfathers. Very troublesome and slightly vicious. Sirius nodded and Harry took his station near a tree away from the blazing bonfire that reminded him of the Weasleys flaming red hair. He could spot Ron and Hermione dancing around the fire with many other couples. Ginny was sitting at a picnic table a little farther away talking to Bill and Charlie. Mrs. Weasley was probably in the kitchen making more food. And Mr. Weasley was talking to the Auror Shacklebolt. Lee had just stumbled up to the transfiguration teacher and kissed her full on the lips, much to the humor of the large crowd watching. Harry took a quick minute to take a few snape shots of what promised to be wonderful blackmail or at least good for some humiliation should he ever need it.
Suddenly Harry spotted the unknowing target. He signaled to Sirius who was hiding in the shadows of the house. He nodded and both men silently counted to three. They spent 2 spells zinging right toward the grumpy, murderous looking target. The spells moved so fast no one even noticed them. Unfortunately for the target. He didn't feel a thing until it was too late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serverus Snape was not happy. In fact he was in one of the worst moods you'd ever see him in. Professor Dumbledor had practically ordered him to attend and stay until 11 at least. He was surrounded by his least favorite family in England not to mention some of the students. The only highlight in the whole night for him was there was no Potter. Though he did meet someone earlier who resembled him slightly. Some blue haired, blue eyed punk named Raven. That had almost been enough to defy the Headmasters orders but not quite. Well at least it was quarter to 11 and Snape didn't think he'd ever been happier.
Snape jumped , eyes darting from side to side. He could have sworn something hit him. Oh well he was probably just excited to get out of this hell hole.
Suddenly he had a urge to get up close by the fire. Well it was a little cold. But by the time he reached the fire, he had a huge, goofy smile on his face from ear to ear. He was happier then he thought he'd ever been before and it was all because of the wonderful people who put up this party and made him come.
The next thing he knew, he'd jumped up on the table and transfigured his clothes into a very frilly, neon pink Cancan dress with a fruit hat. (You know the ladies who do the Cancan right? That's what he's wearing.) And to every ones horror began to perform the Cancan and sing outrageously. But the singing wasn't really that bad even if his dancing left some thing to be desired.
Although my hair is very greasy,
And my face is such a mess.
That I haven't seen the sun for years,
You'd be right on the first guess.
I don't think being the Potions Master,
Is the right career for me.
I've discovered that my talents lay in,
And I believe it's got to be.
I've kept it secret so long that I must confess,
Tis dancing in my favorite, frilly, bright pink dress!
(Stops singing to do some Cancan)
NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA!
(Start singing again)
Although my singings not so bad,
And I'm sure you'll all agree,
Even if you people like my dancing,
It's not the style for me.
Perhaps I'll go to France.
I'm sure someone there will be glad,
To teach me properly
how to sing and dance.
I'll dance with all the lovely girls,
And be the only man on stage.
And I'll tell them all a secret
while we brush our silky curls.
I hope the Headmaster
Is not terribly mad.
I believe being a girl
Might not be so bad.
And now that my song is ending.
I bet you want to know.
Who the geniuses are behind this great show!
And with that the sky behind him lit up with fireworks. Some of which stayed up and spelled out
THIS SHOW HAS BEEN PRODUCED AND SPONSERED
BY RAVEN AND SIRIUS BLACK
LONG LIVE THE MAURADURS!
The crowd burst into a thundering applause and more than a healthy bit of hysterical laughter. Both Raven and Sirius emerged from their hiding placed and grinned widely as they joined the Serverus on the picnic table bowing. (Serverus was curtseying) When they climbed off the table the Potions Master disappeared back to his rooms for a well deserved sleep.
End Flash Back…..
"Ya that was really great." Harry sighed happily returning to the land of reality. " I got to spend some quality time with Sirius to." Lee nodded. He knew how much Harry wanted to spend some more time with his friends. "Ya even if he didn't recognize you." Harry glared at Lee and went rummaging through the cabinets for some hot chocolate. After finding some he heated up some milk and stirred them together returning to the table with a hot steaming mug.
"Where's mine?"
"Sorry musta forgot. But you know it wouldn't hurt for you to get some exercise you know."
"But it such a looong blooddyyy waaaaaallllk!"
"Ya about 3 meters there and back. It'll take days. But not my problem."
When Lee came back with a steaming cup of hot chocolate he noticed Harry was staring sadly into his drink. Lee sighed, he knew this was hard for Harry. Hell it wasn't that easy for him. "Look mate, your doing the right thing. It might not seem like it sometimes but it is."
"I know. But it's hard, especially breaking up with Ginny. The only satisfaction I get from this is knowing their safe."
"I'd say that's a pretty good deal." Lee pointed out. "Besides, now you don't have to worry about them getting hurt in a fight. That allows you to concentrate on the fight and search for the Horucux's."
Harry brightened a little. "Well on that note. We know the Diary is checked down. And Dumbledor destroyed the ring. That's two out of six. We know about Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's cup. All we have to do is find them. I'm pretty sure his snake is one. That makes 5 we know about." Lee shrugged "5 outa 6 is a pretty good start. And you might wanna check that sword of Gryffindor's out just to be safe."
Harry grinned, "Oh, I got that sorted out. But just in case I sent Mackey to research Ravenclaw's history. " He downed the rest of his drink and...
"YAAA!"
Harry immediately ran to run some water over his burnt tongue. Lee chuckled at Harry's quest to save his tongue. As he waited for his friend he thought over the other things they discovered in the past month on their job to destroy the death eater army. And as he sat there Lee Jordan realized how close a friend Harry had become in that short amount of time.
They'd both made some new friends they'd trust their lives with.
It was back on their first mission…….or at least the first one they'd spent planning. They'd been sneaking up on a minor Death Eater party of about 20.……..or was it 25.…
Flash Back……..
As quietly as he could Lee ran through the forest being careful not to step on any branches, leaves or anything that would make a noise and blow their cover. Harry was running 10 meters away to make sure they spotted all scouts, before the enemy spotted them. Lee was feel right positive about this operation, they'd spent a week working out all the bugs and backup plans, should things go wrong. Harry had a great knowledge and aptitude for planning the outlines but Lee ,surprisingly, was the one who took care of finer details that could screw everything up.
Suddenly Harry moved his path closer to Lee until they were running side by side. He motioned Lee to slow down and they stopped. Lee look questioningly at the other boy. "There's some one up a head. It looks like a group of about 4 or 5 people. Not Death Eaters though." Lee nodded and they moved closer to the group. They didn't make a sound but a woman whipped around and cast a stunner in their direction, she had great aim to…almost hit him the dumb brood did.
"Come out before I make you!" She sounded no older than Lee or Harry but there was more than a hint of command in her voice.
Lee stood up slowly and grinned. Best to play this cool and not show anything. Harry was doing the same thing but his smile was more sheepish. "All right, all right woman. Keep you knickers on." "Put your hands on you head where I can see them." came the gruff reply.
Slowly both boys moved toward her voice but couldn't see very well in the dark. One of the mystery people (I dare you to tell me to put mystery men) whispered "Lumos!" and Lee moved gratefully toward it with Harry following a little more warily. When they came into the light there was a gasp from the men and woman grouped around them. Well more like boys and girls since they were all around Harry and Lee's age. "What?" Harry said looking around confused. Lee couldn't help but laugh. . "Funny. But I got to ask the same question. What are you all staring at. Do I have something on my nose. Harry you've got a bit of ketchup on yours…….."
End Flash Back…..
"Lee! Earth to the Jordan boy. Hullo!" Lee's eyes refocused on a hand waving in front of his face. "Oh damn. I thought you snuffed it. Guess there's no such luck in my life." Harry sighed sadly before getting whacked in the head by Lee.
"Serves you right. And I wasn't dead."
"Than what were you thinking about. Cause you looked dead to the world to me."
"Did I stop breathing?"
"Well……. No."
"Than I wasn't dead. Thank God. I couldn't live with my dead self knowing you had to take care of yourself. You'd probably burn the house down cooking supper."
"I'm an excellent cook. Do you forget who makes the meals around here. What were you thinking about anyway?"
"Yes you're an excellent cook but who forgets to turn the stove off. Anyway I was thinking about the first time we met the gang." Lee got quite again and mused. When he shook himself out of his thinking he was surprised to find Harry staring at him with a worried expression. "What's with you Potter." "Are you sure you're not coming down with a cold. Thinking can be very dangerous in your case you know." Harry stated very seriously. "Buzz off." was the amused reply.
Harry shrugged. "Ya okay. But I know what you mean. How often do you meet a few people in the forest in the dead of night who have the same goal as you. Wiping out MoldyShort's army. They really helped out on that first mission and I'm glad we invited them to join us. I still don't know how I got elected leader though."
"Hey you go the right stuff. But that wasn't along the lines I was thinking." Lee grinned. "I mean in a month we made close friends with all of them. We go out for pizza, we watch movies, we go shopping in Diagon Ally together. We spend every other night killing Death Eaters, which I might advise is a great way to bond with your friends. I don't know about you but I'd trust them all with my life."
Harry thought for a moment. "Yes, for once your right." he muttered slowly. He looked up at Lee across the table. "I mean I would trust all of them with my life. And you right about the Death Eater Hunting thing. Just imagine what Tommy would think if he knew he was helping people every where. Instead of killing them."
"He'd flip. But I think I'm going to slip down stairs to talk to the land lord about our rent before turning in." Lee announced.
Harry sighed. "We can pay the rent would you stop worrying. I'll probably be asleep when you get in. Be warned that if you wake me up there will be HELL to pay."
"Understood Captain!" Lee threw him a salute before turning and marching out the door. Harry shook his head. "I have a feeling the next 2 weeks before my Letter gets here are going to be Hell. And if I'm right just wait and see they're reactions when The Boy Who Lived doesn't show up for his 7th year of school."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys. What'd ya think? I hope it cleared some things up. Oh ya and every thing in the sixth book happened. Except Snape didn't turn traitor and so Dumbledor didn't die. Harry is trying to keep all his friends safe by taking on a new identity and breaking apart Voldermorts army. Just to let you know the whole group is extreamly powerful.
Harry gained some new powers but I may or may not explain how that happened. And each learned things from the others. There will be more later on the new characters back grounds.
Remember to Review! I want you opinions and I may pick your brains for ideas occasionally. This story is just being thought up as it goes.
LOVE ALL MY REVEIWERS PEACE OUT!
