AN; There's going to be a poll in the of who will be a bodyguard for Hermione. Ginny will be later down the line.

Ch 20 The Enemy?

Dumbledore called in the Order for a meeting once again about Ritsuka but this time it's about his servants. He sat behind his desk as the members of the Order gather around him. "I call this meeting today to discuss Harry Potter's servants." He said to them.

"That boy is so ill-mannered when talking to us," Molly said disliking the magus.

"Even to his so-called mentor," Arthur added.

"Try thinking on his perspective, he is the director of a muggle organization and has to run it," Sirius said.

Remus agrees with the Animagus. " He was left in the Dursley's home for his safety at a young age and sees his relatives as parental figures.".

"But about his mentor? The vampire?" Molly asked.

"He was supposed to receive a letter to come to Hogwarts at age eleven, why would he choose him instead of going there to learn proper magic instead of this 'Magecraft'," James said frustrated that his son is learning from a dark creature.

Dumbledore remains silent knowing the truth of why Harry didn't receive his letter. He remembers that Japanese woman saying something about Mage's Association, he needs to find out more about this Association and the best way to do it is to spy on that woman. "To find out more of Harry Potter the best way is to spy on that woman Hishiri Adshino." He said to all of them.

"Why her?" Lily asked the headmaster.

"I get it, she is an associate of Harry," James said. "If we spy on her we can find out more about this Mage's Association." He said.

"You're on the mark my boy," Dumbledore said to the captains of the Aurors. "Also spy on Harry, he seems to know more than we think."

"Yes, Headmaster." They said.

"And if we find out where the Mage's Association then what are going to do?" Molly asked.

"We arrest them for breaking the law for not sharing their knowledge they have with the ministry," Moody said.

Minerva knocks on the headmaster's door before she went in. "Headmaster tonight's celebratory dinner preparation is almost complete." The transfiguration professor said.

"Right, thank you, Minerva." He said as she leaves the office.

"Should we go down and help Professor McGonagall?" Lily asked the old wizard.

Dumbledore nodded "Yes, you all should. This is a traditional event for announcing the task's winners." He said to the Order.

"Yes, headmaster." They all said leaving the office to assist with any extra preparations for tonight's dinner.

Chaldea's British Outpost 6:15 PM

Ritsuka looks in the mirror as he strengthens the tie of the Anniversary Blonde Mystic Code. he smiles as he went out of his room to the lobby. Where his servant and mentor is waiting for him.

"Master, we're ready to depart," Arthur said to him.

"Actually, Arthur I will bring only two of you with me tonight's dinner," Ritsuka said to the King of Knights.

Arthur's eyes widen at the statement. "But master, they might do something-"

Ritsuka smiles at him "Arthur, it's just dinner. They're just announcing who is the winner of the first task."

"Yes, and I would be there since I'm a judge for Chaldea," Zelretch said to him.

Arthur was hesitant but complies with his master's decision. He looks away but his eyes looked at him. "So who are you bring?" he asked him.

"Mordred and Brynhildr." He answers.

Arthur looked at him confusedly "I get Sir Mordred, but Brynhildr? Why on earth would you bring her?" he asked him.

Ritsuka answers the Saber. "Brynhildr was getting tired of patrolling the Antarctic land back home, so I decide to ask her to be my bodyguard for tonight." He said to the king.

"Was there a quarrel with her and Sigurd?" His mentor asked.

Ritsuka shook his head. "No, just need a break from patrolling." He said. "Besides the Valkyries can handle patrolling without her."

"Senpai, I'm ready." Mashu walk done the stairway in her Traveling Outfit.

Ritsuka turns to see Mashu in her outfit. He blushed at the sight of the clothes. Her skirt was way above her kneecaps and her beret looks cute on her. "(Ahem) Y-You look good Mashu," Ritsuka said still blushing.

Mashu blush as she twirls her hair with her finger. "Y-You think Senpai?" she asked as he nodded.

"I see they're still oblivious to their feelings?" Zelretch leans over to Arthur.

"You have no idea." He responded.

"Yo is everyone ready!" Mordred said as she casually walking to them. Brynhildr walking behind her.

"Good afternoon…master." She said a bit quietly.

Ritsuka shook his head as his attention shifts to the Saber and Lancer. "Good afternoon you two, I'm glad that both of you can make it." He said to them.

"Well someone has to put that brat in line," Mordred said. "I mean really, how did someone like him become your brother anyway?" she said.

Ritsuka sighs "My guess is that my parents and Dumbledore spoiled him and teaching him the wrong ideals."

"Oh? And what ideals is that master?" Brynhild said.

"From what Kotarou information and Hishiri's observation, Dumbledore has convinced them that dark magic is bad and light magic is good." He said to them. "This often leads the Gryffindors to bully anyone who is affiliated with Slytherins."

Mordred scoffs "A case of black and white beliefs." She said angrily "I hate those,"

Zelretch agrees with the Knight of Treachery. "Agree, I do worry about the granddaughter of the Botany Department. She's a Slytherin."

"I wonder why the family wants her to attend Hogwarts knowing the risks of attending," Mashu asked.

"Well from what I get from the Association, it's a tradition on the husband's side to go to Hogwarts even though they defected from the wizard community." Ritsuka enlightens his Kohai.

"Anyways, lets' get going," Zelertch said to them. "You don't want to be late for the Champion's dinner, Ritsuka." He said walking out.

Ritsuka sighs at his mentor. "Arthur-"

"Don't worry master we can handle things here, just do what you gotta do." the King of Knights said.

"Thank you, Arthur." He smiles as the group went to the limo.

Hogwarts November 25, 2023, 7:00 PM

The Great Hall was changed for tonight's celebratory dinner for the Champions in completing the First Task. The Champions for Hogwarts and Durmstrang wore suits and ties while Fleur wore a light blue dress.

The students still wore their school's respective uniforms as they each sat with their houses. While the other school has separate tables with the same length as the houses of Hogwarts. the Chaldeans sat their table with two in their ranks.

"This is exciting," Ginny said to Hermione.

"I know, I wonder who the victor of the first task is." She wonders.

"I might be biased, but I believe it is master," Reines said proudly.

Both girls laugh at the Rider's comment. "True, he did retrieve the egg the fastest."

"I still can't believe that lady appeared like that," Hermione said. "It's it some kind of Apparition?" the bookworm asked the servants.

"Not quite, Ms. Granger, Fujimaru has this Command Seals to call upon us to his side if needed," Holmes said. "The limit of the seals are three, but they replenish in a day depending on how many he uses." The Detective informs them.

"Interesting, is there any way to gain one of my own?" Hermione asked the Ruler. "I want to study it. The topic of Magecraft you speak of interest me."

"If you want to die later on." A female voice said behind them.

The girls turn around to see Hishiri walking to them. "Ms. Adashino, good to see you again." Hermione greets her until she asked her "What do you mean by that?"

The Magus of the Polices Department sat down next to her as a Japanese teacup appears before her. "If you want a set of Command Spells then you must risk your life to get them."

"Does that mean Ritsuka risked his life to get them!?" Hermione exclaims shock that Ritsuka would risk his life to gain something like that.

The servants laugh. The girls look confused at their sudden reaction "What's funny?" Ginny asked.
"Master is a special case; he gains them by accident from the day he first works for Chaldea." Gilgamesh said, " He defiantly earns them."

"So what are you guys talking about." A familiar voice said behind them. Turning around they saw Ritsuka in a charming set of clothes as did Mashu."

"Ritsuka, that looks good on you," Hermione said. "Same goes with you Mashu."

"Thank you Hermione-chan," she smiles.

Ginny looked at the white-haired woman with an aroura color inside, she wore a one-piece black dress over it is a grayish armor set. " Ritsuka, who is this woman behind you?" she asked.

Everyone looked to see the new person that's with Ritsuka. Dumbledore sense a strong aura surrounding her, unlike the armored knight who is a bit weaker. This woman aura is similar to the Rider woman.

Brynhildr shy's away as she looks at her master. Ritsuka nodded comforting her before introducing herself. The Lancer took in a deep breath "My name is…Lancer." She said softly. "I'm one of…master's numerous of servants." She said to them. "A…pleasure to meet all of you."

Hermione looks softly at the Lancer. "She's shy isn't she Ritsuka?"

Ritsuka shook his head. "No, she just speaks softly. Lancer isn't really into big events."

"Ah, I get it." Ginny said, "Being with people must put a lot of stress on her."

"Not…exactly, I don't mind…people." She said. "It's just…cautious around them. I rather not talk about it."

"Lancer-san, don't worry we understand what you are going through," Mashu said to the Valkyrie.

"Just relax Lancer, master's here to make you comfortable." Mordred smiles under her helmet.

"Thank you, everyone." She said sitting down with the rest.

"Poor thing, I wonder what she's going through," Minerva said feeling symphony for her. The rest of the staff felt sorry for the Valkyrie while some felt like it's a ploy to gain attention.

"Tch, it's just an act to make us feel bad for her." Snape huffed.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Snivellus," James said. "I don't trust that woman."

Lily just stared at her as she interacts with her son. She has a small smile on her face as she talks with him.

Charles glared at them. "Just how many of these Servants does he have," Charles said.

"I'm guessing a whole lot," Ron said. "But I have to admit, that lady…Lancer was it is a hottie." The red-haired boy said.

After a few moments, Dumbledore walks up to the podium as the golden owl spreads its wings. "Yesterday was an eventful on. Never in the Tri-Wizard Tournament has seen such a skilled and talented group of champions and choosing the victor for the first task is a difficult decision to make." He said to the hall.

"Regardless we have scored each and one of the Champions equally and fairly," Dumbledore added. "Without further ado, the scores for Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic scored around thirty points." The French school appalled for their champions as she stood up and gracefully bows.

"For Victor Krum of Durmstrange Institute of Magic is a forty-one but due to the dragon's eggs being compromised we lower the score to a thirty-eight." The Durmstrang students groan at the score that Victor was given.

"Cedric Diggory of Hogwarts received forty-points." He said proudly of the Hufflepuff student as the rest of Hogwarts cheered for him.

"And…finally Har-Ritsuka Fujimaru of the Chaldea Security Organization with his unique magic, Forty-Five points." The Chaldean table cheered for his success.

"AHA! TAKE THAT YOU BASTARDS!" Mordred cried. " I KNEW HE COULD BEAT ALL OF YOUR ASSES!" she laughs.

"Saber, don't overdo it," Holmes said. "It's not good sportsmanship if you keep on bragging on who is the winner." The detective said to her.

"SCREW THAT!" She responds to him.

"Congratulation Ritsuka," Hishiri said to him.

"Yes, you deserve it Senpai," Mashu said to him.

Soon the food was served on each table. "Now let the feast begin!" Dumbledore announced as everyone start to dig into their hearts' contempt. After a few Ritsuka got up from his seat. "Senpai? Where are you going?" Mashu asked him.

"Just the restroom, Mashu." He smiles as he left for the restroom.

"I will join you, I need to freshen up myself too," Hermione said.

James and Lily saw their son leaving the hall "Let's go," James said to his wife. They got up and follow him to wherever his destination is.

Ritsuka and Hermione washed up after using the restroom and was about to leave when Ritsuka senses a presence. He swiftly turns and shot the corner wall.

"Ritsuka, what are-" Hermione went silent as Ritsuka glared at the corner.

"Come out from the corner." He said as his parents held their hands up in the air.

"What do you two think you're doing?" he asked them.

"Harry, you shoot at us!" James said to his son.

"Mr. Potter? Professor Potter? What are you two doing here?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, and?" Hermione gasps cover her mouth as she saw how the magus reacted.

"We're your parents, you don't shoot at us!" Lily scolded him.

Ritsuka sighs and turns around. James went over to him grabbing his arms when he raised his hand in the shape of a gun. "Don't grab me so casually James or else I'll shoot."

James glared at his son "Your better not son, you'll regret it."

"Like you regret when you left me with the Dursleys?" He smirks "Tell me, James, how's that going for you?"

"Ritsuka! Stop!" Hermione said trying to defuse the tension between both father and son.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER DON'T TALK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT!" Lily scolded him as she walks up to her boys.

Ritsuka looks at the bushy-haired girl and huffs as he lowered his hand walking away from his parents. "Try not to spy on a magus you two, they will not hesitate on killing a person who is spying on them," he said.

"Why are you calling yourself a magus? You are a wizard, that vampire has corrupted you." James yelled. "You change, you were a sweet little boy before what happened to that Harry!"

Ritsuka ignores his father's complaint of him as he walks away. Lily saw that this isn't working she needs to act fast. "Harry, please stop this act! We're trying to repair this family." She said as a tear fell down her face.

"You have no idea how hard it is for us, with the Dark Lord rising we only wanted you to be safe." She said to him. "Please understand, Charles was the one who defeated the Dark Lord multiple of times in the past and-"

Ritsuka laughs at the sentiment. "What's so funny?" James asked his son.

"Do you think Voldemort is the only threat to humanity?" he asked them. Hermione looks at him and was about to ask a question when James interrupts her.

"Yes, he is a threat to wizards, he kills muggles to purge the wizarding community for purebloods," James said. " Gellert Grindelwald was second compare to the current Dark Lord's vicious actions." He retorted back.

Lily caught what he was said. "What do you mean by the threat to humanity?" she asked Ritsuka.

"Yes, what do you mean by that Mr. Fujimaru." a voice said from the shadows.

Ritsuka turns his head to where the voice is coming from. "Show yourself!" He said to the stranger as footsteps came further down the dark hall. Soon the moonlight revealed a black-haired woman with silver eyes wearing a black dress revealing her huge bust.

"Hello O, Humanity's final master." She said slyly to him.

Hermione steps back sensing this woman is dangerous. She drew her wand ready to defend herself from this stranger as did James and Lily.

"Oho, I'm guessing I'm interrupting a family quarrel between you guys?" she said to them.

"Who are you? How did you get into Hogwarts?" James demanded of the strange woman. He can sense a dark aura around this one unlike he has ever seen in his career.

"Me? Oh, I'm jus-"

"You're an Avenger class servant aren't you?" he said to the woman.

Everyone looked at Ritsuka as he stared down at the woman, "Ritsuka do you know her?" Hermione asked.

"She's a servant? What's your familiar doing here?" Lily asked him.

"No, I never have seen this servant in my life." He said preparing some gems in his pocket. "I'm guessing you're a Rogue Servant."

"I see you're familiar with the Avenger class, I shouldn't be surprised since you do have some back at your home." She said. "Oh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Avenger of the Gallows. Currently, I'm working with Voldemort to bring destruction to this world." She smiles.

"Y-You're working with the Dark Lord?" James stammers.

"I see, you decided to alley yourself with Voldemort to accomplish your goals." He said to her "What are you doing here? I'm guessing that you did not gain permission to come here."

"You got that right," she smiles. "I'm here to test your strength and if you are worthy of my attention." She said as she opens her hands creating a black sphere before lunching at them.

Ritsuka throws down a group of gems he was holding on the ground "Schild!" he said as multicolored gems formed a shield. He turns to the wizards " RUN!" he yelled as they took off to the other direction to the Courtyard. Soon Ritsuka followed them leaving the shield is taking to buy time for their escape.

Avenger smirks evilly as she walks slowly to the shield as her hand has this black aura around it. She touches the jeweled shield as it shatters completely. " This will be fun," she said to herself.
