Chapter 12
(Underworld)
Sirzechs had called a meeting with the other Satan's. Ajuka might know what it was about. "What's going on, Zechs-tan?" Said Serafall.
"I wanted to tell you about something new that had happened lately." He said, "Ajuka already knows about it."
"Is this about the new faction?" He said the others looked at him.
"New Faction?"
"Yeah, I told you Rias was summoned and she was helping him with defeating a rogue wizard? Well, during the time he became the master of Muerte."
"Wait," said Falibum. "He became the master of Death?"
"And they decided to become a faction."
"He came up with new evil pieces as well." Said Ajuka, "I'm thinking about having some for my peerage."
"What are they?" Asked Serafall.
"Emperor, Empress, Prince, Princess, Amazon, and Galleon." He pulled out a case with the six pieces in it so they can see them.
"Wow." Said Serafall, "so what do they do?"
"The Emperor is a King and Queen merged, the Empress is just as powerful as two Queens, the Prince is a King and a Knight merged, the Princess is a Queen and a Bishop, Amazon is a Queen and a Rook and the Galleon is a Pawn and a Knight." Said Ajuka.
"Okay," said Serafall. "Could we ask Hari-tan if we could use it?"
"There's only one way to find out," said Sirzechs. "But, first we need to meet him. Agreed?" The others nodded.
(Grimmauld Pl, next morning)
Rias, her peerage, and Harry just looked at Sirzechs. "What?" She said.
"Yeah, the others want to meet you Hari-tan."
"Just me? Or can I bring the others?" Harry asked.
"Yes, they want to meet the rest of the faction."
"When?"
"This afternoon?"
"I'll get everyone together. They want to meet here?"
"The Underworld's fine." Harry sighed.
"Alright, give me a couple of hours." They nodded and let Harry get his faction together.
"The Satan's want to meet us?" Said Lily, Harry nodded. Bellatrix just looked at him.
"Who's all going?" She asked.
"I'd like everyone to go."
"But we're just starting." Said Tonks.
"Yeah, I know. But, they want to meet us." Just then Hermione rushed in. She was breathing hard, "what happened Hermione?"
"Death Eaters attacked me!" She said, Harry's eyes just turned into chips of frozen jade.
"Oh they did, did they?" He said.
"They, now that I think about it, hit me with the Killing Curse," Lily smirked.
"It doesn't work on us." She said.
"Bingo," said Harry.
"What? But…" said Hermione.
"You're a member of my faction."
"Yeah."
"What's the faction?" She looked at him stunned, "wouldn't be surprised if you're a bit more powerful."
"Like Gandalf the white?" She chuckled. Everyone laughed with her.
"We'll deal with them when we get back." Said Harry, then he looked at Sirzechs. "Give me a couple of hours, I got a couple of people I'd like to join my peerage and faction." Sirzechs nodded.
"You got till Noon." He said.
"Then I guess I better get started."
"Harry, what's going on?" Asked Hermione.
"The Satans want to meet us." Hermione looked to the 'Lucifer' who nodded his head. Harry went to the floo. "Bella, could those two morons please?"
"I'll get them." She said.
Meanwhile, he threw some powder into, the floo. "Longbottom Manor." Just then a face had appeared in the fire.
"Hello?" Said a voice.
"May I speak to Neville or his grandmother please?"
"Harry, it's me." Said Neville.
"Hey Nev, I have a proposition for you."
"I'm with Hannah and Susan right now."
"Bring them."
"Alright, we're coming through." So Harry stepped back and Neville, Hannah, and Susan came through the floo. Neville was in a shirt, jeans, and shoes, Hannah was in a blouse, a skirt, and flats, and Susan was in a shirt, jeans, and flats. "Hey Harry," he said as they shook hands. They had seen people they thought dead. "Auntie?" He saw Lily, she went over to him and hugged him.
"Hello Neville, my beautiful boy." She said.
"What's going on?" Asked Hannah, so Hermione and Lily started to explain to them everything that had happened.
Meanwhile, Harry was at the floo and called Fleur, "I am coming." She said, "step back." So he did and out she stepped. He had to do a double-take,, Fleur was gorgeous, that was a gimmie, but she was shapely and not a stick. (I always hated the fact that she was a stick. Fleur was too gorgeous to be built like that!)
"Wow, you finally ate a hearty meal." Harry teased, she laughed. She was in a dress, stockings, flats, and her school robes. She hugged and kissed him on his cheeks.
"What es et Harry?" She asked.
"Well, I want to make you an offer. Go over to the table, I'm getting one more person." Then he called in one more person.
"Hello Harry Potter," she said.
"Luna, we need to talk."
"I'm on the way." She said she came through in a blue and bronze gogo dress, white socks, and flats. She saw Harry and hugged him tightly. "Hello Harry." She said, Harry hugged her back. Then led her to the table.
"Okay, now that everyone's here," he had a few boxes in front of him. "This is what's up, as you can see I have the boxes in front of me. In these boxes, are chess pieces. Some of you know about them, some of you are just now hearing about it. Bella and Tonks are already members of my peerage. Bella is my [King] and Tonks is my [Empress], Hermione, Mom, and Cedric are members of my faction."
"What's this faction, Harry?" Asked Neville.
"Death's faction, I'm the master of Death."
"You'd like us to join?" Asked Luna.
"You don't have to if you don't want to. But, I figure if you'd want to…"
"Harry," said Fleur. "I wish to join you."
"My peerage or my faction?"
"How many sets do you have?"
"A total of nine, he sent me three more sets."
"Faction." Harry slid a box to her and she opened it up and saw a light blue and white set. "These are beautiful."
"Yep, you'll meet him when you become a member."
"Harry, I want to join your faction." Said Neville, Harry slide a box to him. He opened it up it was red and black. "Nice."
"I'll be a member of your peerage." Said Susan.
"What piece?"
"What's available?"
"You know about the pieces of a normal set right?" Susan nodded, "okay. Here are the new ones available, two princes, two princesses, an amazon, and eight galleons." He set one piece of each out in front of him.
"And everything but the [King] is available in the normal pieces?" Asked Susan.
"Yep."
"Amazon." She said, the piece floated to her and she caught it. Harry put the rest of them back.
"Alright," he looked at Luna.
"Could I be a princess?" She asked, the piece floated to her.
"Now for you two." He said to Sirius and Remus.
"We're still thinking." Said Sirius. Just then, the Weasley twins had come in the room.
"Hey, guys." They said.
"What about them Harry?" Said Hermione.
"Anyone want them?" He said, the twins looked at them. Cedric looked at them.
"How would you two like to join my peerage?" He asked.
"Peerage?" So, they explained to them what's going on and they quickly joined Cedric and became princes.
"I guess, Ron's going to be a member of your peerage huh Harry?" Asked Fred.
"No."
"Then yours, Hermione?" Said George.
"Nope."
"He's not even going to join our faction." Said Harry, "okay. Those of you who have [Emperor] pieces, stand and place the piece to your chest. Neville and Fleur did. "Now, repeat after me: I, [state your name]."
"I, Neville Franklyn Longbottom." Said Neville.
"I, Fleur Appoline Delacour." Said Fleur.
"Do solemnly swear."
"Do solemnly swear."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"To be a right and just Emperor."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders."
"A trustworthy one to make all believe in and honored to follow my orders." The pieces went into them and suddenly, they lifted in the air. Mechanic's shirts were now on them Neville's in red and Fleur's in powder blue with lions on the backs of them (gold for Neville and white for Fleur).
"Welcome to the faction." Said Harry. "Now, all Emperors. Watch what I do, Susan, Luna please stand." So they do. "I, Harry James of the Potter clan. Command you, Susan Amelia Bones of the Bones clan to become the [Amazon] of my peerage. Rejoice, and become reborn as my family, friend, and confidant!" The piece had entered her and she was now dressed in an underarmor shirt and low rising jeans. "You okay?" Susan nodded.
"I feel so powerful." She said, Harry nodded then looked at Luna.
"Your turn Luna." She nodded, "I, Harry James of the Potter clan. Command you, Luna Lovegood of the Lovegood clan to become the [Princess] of my peerage. Rejoice, and become reborn as my family, friend, and confidant!" Just then the piece entered the girl and suddenly, her gogo dress was more sparkly and she had a tiara on her head. Harry smiled at her, "well?" Luna leaped at him and hugged him.
"Thank you Harry." She said.
"You're welcome, my [princess]. Okay, that was weird." They laughed, "so you guys know what to do?"
"Yeah," said Cedric. "I'm going to try it. Alright fellas, place the pieces to your chests." Fred and George did, "I, Cedric Amos of the Diggory clan. Command you, Fred and George Weasley of the Weasley clan to become the [Princeses] of my peerage. Rejoice, and become reborn as my family, friends, and confidants!" Just then the pieces went into the twins and they had changed into T-shirts, jeans, boots, and vests. Fred's in red and gold, and George's in gold and red. They also had cornets on their heads.
"It worked," said George.
"Of course it did," said Harry. "Didn't think it would?"
"I can go next," said Neville. "You sure you want this piece, Hannah?" Hannah wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. Then she pulled off, "I'll take that as a 'yes'." He pulled out the [Empress] piece and held it to her chest. "I, Neville Franklyn of the Longbottom clan. Command you, Hannah Abbot, of the Abbot clan to become the [Empress] of my peerage. Rejoice, and become reborn as my family, friend, and confidant!" She started to change into a yellow and black bodice with a skirt, boots, and a tiara.
"Okay," said Harry. "Everyone ready to go?" They nodded. "Okay, Rias call Sirzechs, we're ready to go." So she did and they were headed for the Underworld.
