Percy.
That one name was enough to make the three reincarnates very very nervous. Percy had made it painfully clear last year that his loyalties were to the Minister and no one else. If he was here that meant that the Minister had sent him, and there was only one reason the Minister would send him...them.
"What are we going to do? Percy is going to rat us out completely to that old bat, mom isn't going to hesitate telling him exactly what is going on." Molly was still under the belief that Percy was part of the family and that he could turn around. If he fed her some BS sob story that he was sorry, the woman would gladly spill everything to him.
"You mean other than hide up here in our room yo?" Reno shook his head starting to pace the room. When Reno started to pace it was never a good thing, the logical and serious side of the Banoran Turk was showing through...and that could be a downright scary thing at times.
Sighing softly Reno stopped his pacing at the window, bright mako aquamarine eyes glancing down through the curtains at the figure that was being eagerly welcomed home. At least... only by Molly. "It looks like Charlie and Bill aren't as glad to see him home." Sitting up a little more on the bed Zack looked down through the curtains as well, following Reno's example and staying towards the very edge of them. "No they don't do they..."
The two eldest Weasley children were just within view if you looked hard enough directly down. Neither seemed to be very welcoming, that could be seen easily by their body language. For the Turks it was as clear as day and as easy to read as a children's book, Charlie especially..
The second eldest Weasley child was standing with his arms folded across his chest tightly, a very closed off and unwelcoming posture. Crossing the arms over the chest was a universal don't come near me, don't touch me, just stay the hell away from me, body language.
Bill wasn't nearly as closed off, but he was the more laid back of the two older brothers. While not as closed off it was nowhere near open either. Bill was turned slightly, presenting his side to Percy, that was normally a stance used in fighting when you didn't want to present weak and vulnerable areas to an enemy. More than likely with Bill just being a curse breaker it was an unconscious action, even then, it was a very telling action.
Setting the curtain back, Reno moved away from the two pulling out his cellphone. As much as Tseng was going to want to kill him by now, this was something that the former Director needed to know.
When the phone went to voicemail after only one ring, he resisted the urge to throw the phone against the wall. Tseng normally never shut his phone off, even if he was beyond pissed off and didn't want to talk to anyone. This had to be the Chocobo that shut the phone off. "Go figure yo... fucking blond ass chocobo..." Flipping it open again he tried what he hoped would be their next saving grace. Normally that would have been Rude, but considering Rude wouldn't be in any better position at the moment to help, that left either the undead vampire in red or the silver General.. Now came the decision.. which one was he more likely to survive waking up.
Now he was starting to understand why Tseng was getting so irritated with phone calls. It seemed like he had just managed to fall back asleep after Kadaj's little christmas morning tackle when his own Cell phone started to go off.
Pulling the pillow up over his head, the silver general turned boy who lived was trying to ignore the screeching ring tone some ass hole... probably Reno has programed into his phone. If he didn't have a headache later on he sure as would have one after this, the tone grating on his once more over sensitive ears.
Seeing Sephiroth wasn't about to get up and answer that damn annoying thing, Genesis groaned slowly opening his eyes. Reaching over his young lover, he snatched the phone off the bedside table, pale blue eyes glancing down at the name flashing on the screen. "Reno..."
Not giving the silverette a chance to say anything he flipped the phone open. Reno had always been one of those the crimson commander had never really been able to stand for very long. "This better be good Reno..."
"Well good morning to you too commander Asshole. Where is General hotness? We got a situation here and Tseng isn't answering his phone.. we think the chocobo turned it off."
Snatching the phone from his lover, Sephiroth stuck it between his head and the pillow. If he didn't have to get up at the moment there was no way in hell that he was. "This better be good Reno."
"Really what is it with you two this morning? Did you not fuck him enough?"
"Reno..."
"Alright, alright yo... Percy just showed up."
That had Sephiroth sitting up, Reno didn't have to say any more. If Percy was there, this situation just went from bad to worse. "I'll get a hold of Tseng, keep out of sight as long as possible." Hanging up, the General glanced over seeing the confused look on his lovers face. "Percy is the middle child of the Weasley family, so to speak... he's older than our three.. he's a brown noser worse than peters was." Genesis pulled a face instantly knowing the comparison. Peters was a third class while they were still there, and the man had been the largest brown noser to the board members, Lazard and Heidegger especially. If they asked him to wipe their ass for them he would.
That also meant that he had no problem throwing anyone and everyone under the train so to speak.
"Percy works as the right hand to the minister." Now Sephiroth really didn't need to say any more, standing from the bed Genesis made quick work of pulling on the legendary SOLDIER uniform and leather duster. "I'll go create a diversion." Genesis vanished before Sephiroth could even open his mouth. Snapping his jaw shut Sephiroth simply glared at the spot his lover had once been, "impulsive asshole..."
"Did I just hear Commander Asshole right?" Shit Reno was still on the phone. Sighing Sephiroth laid his arms on his thighs, fingers rubbing his eyes. "Yes.. be prepared for a guest."
Feeling the familiar shudder in the wards that announced someone apperating in, Reno slowly closed the phone, cutting Sephiroth off from whatever he was saying. Genesis didn't apperate...
Moving back over to the window both Zack and Reno peered out, hoping to see something with their enhanced vision. "I really don't like this." There was movement out by the port spot, but the people had ducked down into the tall grass making it hard to tell if they were Ministry or Death Eaters. "Most likely Ministry... they are hiding and spreading out, Death Eaters would just attack... Hi Genesis."
Jumping slightly, Zack whirled around shocked slightly to see the crimson commander standing behind them. "Damn it Reno, why didn't you say he was here before now." Reno snorted letting the curtain fall back into place. "Constant Vigilance puppy." Now Reno was quoting Angeal and Moody on him? It would have been very simple to reach up and slap the redhead across the back of the head, but Zack resisted.. for the moment.
Hearing the back door close the four without a word to one another left the room coming to stop at the stairwell. They were out of view unless you came up to the stairs and looked up, they were though in the perfect spot to eavesdrop on the conversation below.
Molly more than eagerly ushered her child into the kitchen, thrilled to have her middle son back in the house. Both Bill and Charlie sat down on the other side of the table, neither trusting their younger brother, they too had felt the wards shifting.
When it had been brought up, Percy had brushed it off saying it was a fellow Ministry official that had escorted him. Even if that was the truth that was enough red flags for the two eldest Weasley's, why would Percy need an escort here if the Ministry was refusing to believe Voldemort's return?
What was worse, their mother was being completely blind to it all.
Seeing the magazine still on the table, Bill absently grabbed it up setting it back down in front of his arms. "What are you doing here Percy?" Sighing dramatically Percy pulled his wand out, spelling several official looking documents out onto the table.
"I am afraid that I am here on official Ministry business. The Minister believes that our dear brothers and sister sudden change is in fact Dumbledore's doing. But because of the restrictions at the school they have not been able to be tested properly, he wishes to conduct more extensive testing."
"I can smell the bullshit from here." Charlie said, his eyes narrowed into a dark glare as he regarded his brother. That was the only reason Percy was here, to try and take their brothers and sister away so the Ministry can turn them into guinea pigs.
"What makes you really think that Dumbledore would do something this extreme to someone?" Bill held up the magazine showing the page of Nevile. "There aren't any known spells anyway that could change someone to this extent. Being headboy you should know that."
Percy was unfazed by the accusation, his nose turned up as he regarded his two older brothers as if they were something foul that he had the great pleasure to deal with. "This is the Minister's orders."
"I am afraid that I can not allow you to take your brothers and sister." Bill and Charlie turned hearing their father for the first time since arriving. Arthur stepped into the house having been out in the workshop, something telling him to drop what he was working on and come into the house.
Standing, Percy even had the same air about him when dealing with his father. Almost as if the man who had given him life was a moronic creature not worth his time. "You do not have a choice in this father." Almost as if given by a silent cue the port alarm started to go off and you could hear quiet cracks off towards the port spot.
Moving away from the railing, Zack looked through the window and cursed in a very unpuppy like way. "Percy brought backup. We need to get out of here...Genesis?" He blinked looking around, "uh... where did Genesis go?" Reno blinked and looked around quickly. "He was right here yo..." Damn SOLDIER...
The three jumped slightly as there was an explosion outside. "Found him.." All three said and raced up towards where Ron was probably still asleep. They wanted to get as far away from percy as possible and Ron's room the closest to the roof.
Ignoring the still snoring boy Reno pulled the window open and crawled out grabbing the roof edge and pulled himself up and over. Knowing the other two could get up easily he moved away, Aquamarine eyes glancing over the scene before them.
He whistled low, eyes tracking Genesis as he flew above the Ministry officials throwing fireballs at them. This reminded him way too much of their days at ShinRa and watching the Commander hucking fireballs at cadets.
The Ministry officials were dodging, the auros trying their hardest to retaliate against the winged Commander. The spells though bounced off uselessly a fully mastered M barrier materia, Genesis almost unending mana supply allowing him to having the spell powered constantly.
"Someone needs to go down and get some popcorn yo.." Plopping down on the roof he smirked watching, a bright smirk on his face as the "best of the best" were getting chased around the field by the commander.
"Genesis is having way too much fun." Blinking Reno looked up his grin brightening even more. "General hotness.." Sephiroth glared at Reno from the corner of his eyes, a gloved hand reaching down and pulling the red headed Turk up by the back of his collar. "Loz.. take him home, come back and you can have some fun."
Before Reno could open his mouth to protest he was thrown away from the silver General and into the impossibly strong arms of the middle clone.
Squeezing Reno tightly Loz ported him out.
Sephiroth turned his eyes back to the fight which had already become one sided, now though it had become horribly one sided as Kadaj and Yazoo joined the fray.
"This is your wake up call Minister... fuck with us and we will fight back."
AN: I am sorry this has been taking so long my plot general has just been refusing to work with me and I found out I am pregnant. So for any of my readers that have been through this they know how much energy it takes out of you.
On another note, I feel both honored and enraged. Several of my readers have informed me that this story was STOLEN. Yes someone actually had the gall to take this story, post it on another fanfiction site and claim it as their own. They edited the chapters from 40 to 19, making up new titles that didn't make one ounce of sense, changing words like Gaia to Geae. If any of you want to help me report it, the story is on fanfic-4all under the title The Heart Of Everything by Mikage. Yeah I'm pretty pissed right now.
