This chapter is going to be a bit messy and rushed because I want the exorcists all settled in to Hogwarts. And there is SOOOOOO much talking that I can't cut out or summarize! But please try to be understanding for now! I promise that something big will happen next chapter!

~~~~~X-X~~~~~

Allen stood in the middle of his room. He wouldn't be sleeping in it for at least another 8 months or more. His suitcases were packed and had been sent ahead to Hogwarts. His bed was made and wrinkle-free. He looked out the window at the rolling waves that looked dark and ominous at this time of day. He glanced around one last time before picking up his suitcases and made to open the door when it creaked open and Lenalee poked her head in. She smiled when she saw that he was all packed.

"Oh I was just coming to get you Allen! Come on lets go. Everybody's waiting."

Allen smiled and followed closing the door as he went. They silently walked through the echoing hallways toward the Ark gate and Allen thought back to the other day.

*Flashback*

"We have to watch over him?" the exorcists glanced at each other before looking back at their Supervisor. Komui nodded.

"It wasn't deemed necessary but after the incident at their Quidditch Cup they want a guard over this boy." he tapped the photo on the desk. It showed a picture of a young teen with messy black hair and green eyes, and a pair of round glasses. He had an oddly shaped scar on his forehead that was distinctively shaped like a lightning bolt. He realized with surprise that it was the boy that had been at the Quidditch Cup and the one that had been on the train.

"His name is Harry Potter. Age: 14 Year: 4. No further information was provided except that we are to guard him from whatever dangers there may be while keeping an eye on him 24/7. Allen you'll be his personal guard so I'll arrange for you to be in his dormitories, but the rest of you will all be watching him also. But remember your real goal. Investigate the reason for this sudden increase of akuma in the wizarding world. Keep the akuma as far from the school's boundaries as possible, and protect any students that might happen across an akuma.

Remember to stay hidden they must not know they're being watched or protected.

Understood?"

*Flashback end*

Allen was interrupted from his thoughts by a yell he blinked and looked up just in time to see Eddie running down the hallway at full speed. His eyes widened in panic and he raised his hands up.

"Eddie slow down- wait- no-" Eddie tried to stop but skidded and tripped onto

Allen who fell back into Lavi who almost fell onto Kanda (who smoothly stepped to the side) and the 3 fell through the Ark gate with a crash. They lay there in a heap groaning in pain. Komui and Lenalee were looking down on them with identical disapproving glares. Lenalee leaned down and planted her hands on her hips.

"Eddie if you act that way in front of the wizards you'll regret it!" Lenalee said with a frown and she shook a finger in his face. Eddie grinned up at her sheepishly from the top of the pile.

"Sorry Lenalee... Hey you okay guys?" Allen and Lavi merely groaned in response.

Eddie laughed nervously and rolled off of them. Lenalee sighed as Kanda stepped through last, closing the door behind him. The town in the Ark was still the same as always. It looked like a Mediterranean town by the ocean, with its white-washed houses and cobbled streets and the sky was always bright. With the exception that it was in another dimension and had free control over space and time. Komui helped them up and Allen brushed himself off. The Supervisor checked his watch and shrieked.

"We're late by 10 minutes! Let's go, let's go!" Allen quickly led them down the street and around a corner toward the door marked with a 53 and a paper sign saying Hogwarts. They grouped around the exit and Lenalee nervously gripped Allen's sleeve. He glanced down at her with a reassuring look, ignoring Komui's murderous glare and opened the door.

Hogwarts POV

"Harry! It's Krum!" It was indeed the Bulgarian Quidditch player. He was heavily wrapped in furs but his scowling face and thick eyebrows made it obvious it was him. The Hogwarts student broke out in excited whispers.

"I don't believe it!" the Durmstrang students were filing inside preceding not to wait for the fourth school. "Krum, Harry! Victor Krum!"

"For heaven's sake, Ron, he's only a Quidditch player," said Hermione.

"Only a Quidditch player?" Ron stared at Hermione aghast. "Hermione he's one of the best Seekers in the world! I had no idea he was still in school!" Hermione opened her mouth to continue but was interrupted by squeals and shrieks of surprise coming from the group of first years at the front. The three looked to toward the younger students in confusion. Then they began to be pushed back by the wave of students in front of them against the rest of the students who were struggling to stay in place behind them. But it was all to no avail as the seventh years eventually found themselves pressed against the castle wall by the rest of the school. Harry dazedly shook his head and found that Ron had been pushed away in the confusion and only Hermione was left standing next to him with her mouth gaping open in shock. Harry glanced at her in worriedly before following her gaze and finally saw what everyone was looking at. A cluster of large glowing diamonds had appeared out of nowhere only a few yards away from the terrified first years. It hovered in the air reached high into the sky and glowed brightly in the setting sun. The teachers yelled over the students, trying to calm them down. Harry blinked. He had never seen anything like it. Which wasn't really anything new considering he had lived as a Muggle for most of his childhood? But no one else seemed to know what it was either.

"What is that? Do you think Rosa Crux is coming through there?" Hermione's question was answered by a foot jutting out of the light rippling the surface before stepping down and being joined by the other. The owner of the feet was a tall Chinese man dressed in a long white jacket of sorts and a beret covering curly black hair. Square-rimmed glasses were perched on his nose over friendly looking black eyes. He smiled and Harry realized that the man must be the headmaster of Rosa Crux. Dumbledore ahemmed over the whispers and spoke.

"I would like you to welcome the headmaster of Rosa Crux Komui Lee." There was a small smattering of applause. Dumbledore smiled and turned toward the large glowing... thing.

"Now for the students." At once more people stepped out of the light and gathered behind their headmaster. Harry froze and he felt Hermione breathe in sharply beside him. One of the people there was the boy they had met on the train. Eddie. He had his hood off and the girls around him broke out in squeals. He exchanged shocked looks with Hermione and looked back forward to where Headmaster Lee was talking to Dumbledore. He then noticed the hooded figure in the gold uniform that had also been on the train. The stranger was joining in the conversation with the headmasters, his back turned to the Hogwarts students. The whole group was clothed in similar uniforms of red black with the cross badge pinned to their chest. Harry frowned. The two had been students? Why had they been on the train then? He realized that the Headmasters had finished conversing and were now walking toward the castle doors. As they passed by Harry could see them much more clearly. The tallest out of the group was a boy with long dark purple-black hair tied up in a ponytail and an angry scowl on his face. He features were distinctively Asian though Harry couldn't tell specifically from what part of Asia. The only girl in the group also seemed to be Asian and her uniform consisted of a black and red one piece dress that went down to mid-thigh and was cinched in the middle with a belt. He gulped and felt his face burning a bright red. He didn't think she was pretty... just maybe a bit nice-looking? Her green-black hair was tied in short pigtails and it hung down framing her oval face and almond-shaped purple eyes. She was talking with a boy that had bright spiky red hair(which reminded him instantly of the Weasley's) held back by a wide headband(. A black eye patch was strapped over one eye so only the other eye was shown, shining a brilliant green color.

The Hogwarts students gathered behind the Rosa Crux students and the diamonds slowly faded from sight. They poured into the dining hall separating to their respective House tables. Harry and Hermione quickly found Ron and took a seat near the doorway. Ronny shoved Hermione frantically to make a space for his idol

Krum but it was too late as the entire Durmstrang school gathered at the Slytherin table. Hermione scoffed at the sight of the Beauxbatons students sitting at the Ravenclaw table, still clutching scarves and shawls around their heads. The only school left unseated was the Rosa Crux students, though their headmaster was already seated up at the staff table. They seemed to be communicating slightly amongst themselves and they turned as one toward the Gryffindor table. Harry noticed they all walked rather stiffly and as one group. They appeared relaxed but still remained clumped together. He was reminded of those robotic toy soldiers that Dudley had. The tall angry one purposely strode all the way down to the far corner of the table where there weren't many people and several girls giggled as they watched him pass. The rest of the group settled down near Harry, and the Hogwarts students hastily moved to make space for them. Eddie sat down right next to Hermione (to her embarrassment) and the hooded one sat across the table along with the pretty girl with the black green hair and the red head. Harry noticed that the redhead had earrings like Bill except his were just simple hoops. The girl smiled at him.

"Hello nice to meet you my name is Lenalee Lee. This is Lavi Bookman, Allen Walker and Edmund Jackson. The grumpy one down there is Kanda Yuu." she pointed at the redhead, the hooded one and then at Eddie who grinned at him.

"It's very nice to meet you ummm...?" Lenalee tilted her head slightly to the side with the same innocent smile and folded her hands on the table. Harry smiled back.

"Harry Potter. My name's Harry Potter, he's Ron Weasley and she's Hermione

Granger." he paused, waiting for the gasp then their eyes twitching up to his scar. But she didn't seem to be fazed at all instead greeting Ron and Hermione with the same smile on her face. Harry frowned at her exchanging looks with his friends before looking back at Lenalee. Ron scowled.

"Don't you recognize that name?" the girl blinked.

"Oh, I'm sorry have we met somewhere?" she looked slightly apologetic but mostly confused. He shook his head and smiled.

"Ah, no never mind, it's nothing. Welcome to Hogwarts. And your last name. Are you related to the headmaster in any way?" she nodded.

"He's my older brother." She then turned toward the person next to her.

"Allen take off your hood! I think you're creeping people out." Harry glanced around and realized that many people were discreetly peeking at the boy out of the corners of their eyes. Though it was a bit obvious by how their bodies were leaned in. Ron and Hermione were also staring at the student with looks of curiosity.

"Oh. Eh heh... You're right I guess I should." Allen raised his gloved hand and the hood was finally pushed off revealing his face. The first thing Harry noticed was the blindingly white hair framing an amazingly pale face. Just like that man in the white cape... Then he noticed the long jagged red scar going over the boys left eye that ended with a upside down star on his forehead. He gulped and decided that he had gotten off lucky. His own scar was only a fraction of the length and was at least hidden underneath his bangs. But the bigger question was what has happened for him to receive that scar in that shape? Murmurs broke out from the people that had been watching. Allen noticed their stares and smiled his light silver-blue eyes blank and hiding any sort of emotion. He instead fidgeted with his glove and sighed.

"Whoa! That's a wicked scar. How'd you get it? And is your hair color natural?" Ron blurted out in a slightly awed voice. Hermione squeaked and elbowed him.

"Ron don't be so rude!" the Weasley mumbled an apology but continued to stare blatantly along with the others. Harry himself had been wondering the same things.

"Oh, no, please don't worry about it. I get that often in public. The scar happened from a childhood... accident along with the hair. I don't let it bother me too much." he shrugged nonchalantly but Harry saw something flash in his eyes before it disappeared just as quickly. Eddie broke the heavy silence with a laugh.

"Isn't that the kid who was on the train? What a prat." Harry turned around and

Ron snorted at the sight of Malfoy apparently trying to swarm up to Krum. In the corner of his eye he saw Lenalee worriedly asking Allen something that the youth just answered to with a smile and shake of his head. Then the room became silent and looked up to the staff table. Filch the caretaker was adding chairs on either side of Dumbledore's. Three on one side and two on the other.

"But there are only 3 extra people. Why's Filch putting out 5 chairs, who else is coming?"

"Eh?" Ron said vaguely still busy staring avidly at Krum. When the room had finally settled down the staff entered filling up the top table and taking their seats. Last in line were Professor Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff, Headmaster Lee and Madame Maxime. The Beauxbatons students immediately leapt to their feet at the sight of their headmistress and some Hogwarts students laughed. The Beauxbatons party sat back down and only Dumbledore was left standing.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts and- most particularly-guests," said Dumbledore, beaming around at the foreign students. "I have great pleasure in welcoming you to Hogwarts. I hope and trust that your stay here will be both comfortable and enjoyable." One of the Beauxbatons girls gave what was unmistakably a derisive laugh.

"No one's making you stay!" Hermione whispered, bristling at her, and eliciting a smirk from Lavi.

"The tournament will be officially opened at the end of the feast," said Dumbledore. "I now invite you all to eat, drink, and make yourselves at home!"

He sat down and Harry saw Karkaroff lean forward at once and engage him in conversation.

The plates in front of them filled with food as usual. But there seemed to be a greater variety of dishes in front of them than Harry had ever seen, including several that were definitely foreign.

"What's that?" said Ron pointing at a large dish of some sort of shellfish stew.

Lavi mumbled through a mouthful of food.

"That's Bouillabaisse. It's a French dish. You should try it tastes deeeeeelicious!" Harry chuckled and reached for a plate of chicken drumsticks when they suddenly vanished from view. He blinked was the feast over already? But no it couldn't be people were still eating. He saw another plate disappear and he looked up following its path. And saw the plate's contents disappearing down a certain white-haired boy's throat. He and half the table sat there and stared as food continued to be thrown down into the seemingly bottomless pit without a pause except to drink some water and breathe. His fellow Rosa Crux students seemed to be used to this behavior and they ate their meals ignoring

Allen. Allen finally stopped for longer than 3 seconds and seemed to notice the numerous pairs of eyes trained on him. He swallowed the bite of food he had in his mouth before speaking.

"Oops. Sorry I have a habit of eating a lot." he laughed sheepishly and Lenalee smacked him on the back of his head.

"ALLEN! Show some manners will you?" She shot the people staring an apologetic look. Ron said nervously.

"Ummm is that normal?" Allen blushed, his pale skin turning a slight pink. Lavi smirked.

"Oh this is nothing you should see him at breakfast. He eats way more than this. Our little bean sprout eats enough to feed an army." he ruffled Allen's hair and he scowled around his mouthful of bread.

"I'f nawt fa bweenshpwout! Shtoopih Lavwee!" The rest of the group broke into laughs when Allen attempted to smack Lavi with a chicken drumstick. Harry turned back to his own plate, and noticed Hagrid sidle in through the door. He waved to them with heavily bandaged hands and sat down in his place at the staff table. Moments later a silver-haired Beauxbatons girl came up asking for some Bouillabaisse. Ron gaped at her purple-faced and Harry handed the foreign dish to her smoothly. As soon as she walked off Lavi wolf-whistled.

"Strike! Wow she is totally my type." he smirked across at Eddie."But I bet she's out of even your league Eddie." the purple-eyed youth narrowed his eyes and smirked.

"You willing to put money on that?"

"Sure. 20 pounds that you won't be able to successfully ask her out by th-

OW!" Lavi held his hands over the spot Lenalee had smacked him and pouted.

"You guys promised to be on your best behavior here. And that includes all forms of betting, maiming, fighting, arguing, loss of life, destruction of property

and/or gambling." the last one seemed to be directed at Allen who pretended to be oblivious to the concealed threat. Ron was still staring after the blond-haired girl along with many other boys ignoring the three arguing.

"I swear Harry. They don't make them like that at Hogwarts!"

"They make them okay at Hogwarts," said Harry without thinking. Cho happened to be sitting only a few places away from the girl with the silvery hair. Hermione briskly told them to stop gaping and pointed out the arrival of Ludo Bagman and

Mr. Crouch. Hermione said they were most likely here because they were the ones that had arranged the Triwizard Tournament. Then dessert was eaten and after the gold plates were finally empty (to Allen's disappointment) a pleasant sort of tension seemed to fill the Hall. Harry felt a slight thrill of excitement, wondering what was coming, and Fred and George seemed to share the sane excitement.

"The moment has come," said Dumbledore, smiling around at the sea of upturned faces. "The Triwizard Tournament is about to start. I would like to say a few words of explanation before we bring in the casket-"

"The what?" Harry muttered. Ron shrugged.

"-just to clarify the procedure that we will be following this year. But first, let me introduce, for those who do not know them, Mr. Bartemius Crouch, Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation and Mr. Ludo Bagman, Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports." There was applause for them both with it being louder for Mr. Bagman. He accepted it with a jovial wave of his hand though Mr. Crouch didn't react at all.

"They have worked tirelessly over the last few months on the arrangement for the

Triwizard Tournament, and they will be joining me, Professor Karkaroff,

Headmaster Lee, and Madame Maxime on the panel that will judge the champion's efforts."

At the mention of the word champions, the attentiveness of the listening students seemed to sharpen. Perhaps Dumbledore had noticed their sudden stillness, for he smiled as he said, "The casket, then, if you please, Mr. Filch."

Filch who had been lurking unnoticed in a far corner of the Hall now approached

Dumbledore carrying a great wooden chest encrusted with jewels. It looked extremely old. A murmur of excited interest rose from the watching students;

Dennis Creevey actually stood on his chair to see it properly, but, being so tiny, his head hardly rose above anyone else's. Dumbledore went on to explain the three tasks that would test the champions magical prowess and ability to cope with danger. The Hall was filled with a silence so absolute that nobody seemed to be breathing.

"As you know, three champions compete in the tournament, with this year's exception of four," some people glanced back at the Rosa Crux students (with Lavi and Eddie waving back cheekily) but the majority continued staring at the old man. "-one from each of the participating schools. They will be marked on how well they perform each of the Tournament tasks and the champion with the highest total after the three will win the Triwizard Cup. The champions will be chosen by an impartial selector: The Goblet of Fire."

Dumbledore now took out his wand and tapped three times on top the casket that

Filch had set in front of him. The lid slowly creaked open. Dumbledore reached inside it and pulled out a large roughly hewn wooden cup. It would have been entirely unremarkable had it not been full to the brim with dancing blue-white flames.

Dumbledore closed the casket and placed the goblet carefully on top of it, where it would be clearly visible to everyone in the Hall.

"Anybody wishing to submit themselves as champion must write their name and school clearly upon a slip of parchment and drop it in the goblet," said Dumbledore. "Aspiring champions have twenty-four hours in which to put their names forward. Tomorrow night, Halloween, the goblet will return the names of the four it has judged most worthy to represent their schools. The goblet will be placed in the entrance Hall tonight, where it will be freely accessible to all those wishing to compete."

"To ensure that no underage student yields to temptation," said Dumbledore, "I will be drawing an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire once it has been placed in the entrance hall. Nobody under the age of seventeen will be able to cross this line."

"Finally, I wish to impress upon any of you wishing to compete that this tournament is not to be entered into lightly. Once a champion has been selected by the Goblet of Fire, he or she is obliged to see the tournament through to the end. The placing of your names in the goblet constitutes a binding, magical contract. There can be no hinge of heart once you have become a champion. Please be very sure, therefore, that you are whole-heartedly prepared to play before you drop your name into the goblet. Now, I think it is time for bed. Good night to you all."

"Interesting... an Age Line." Lavi stretched and stood up his friends doing the same. "This Tournament sounds awesome!" At this Fred and George appeared next to him. Slinging an arm around his shoulders they grinned and spoke.

"Hey mate-"

"My name's George Weasley-"

"And my name's Fred Weasley-"

"You're cool man-"

"-Better than some of the uptight gits here-"

"How about joining us-"

"In making an Aging Potion-"

"To cross the Age Line eh?" they leaned closer and Lavi just laughed and shook his head.

"Thanks I guess... But I'm 20 so I don't exactly need the Aging potion." Ron whirled around in shock.

"You're 20 but still in school?" Lavi nodded but Eddie spoke up.

"Our school teaches us more than just magic. We're taught combat skills and other things. So our education is extended much further than other schools. That's why we all differ in age. I'm 17, Lavi and Kanda are 20 and Lenalee and Allen are both 16. The rest of the students differ in age also." Hermione nodded already processing and storing the information. Harry wondered why they would even need to learn combat skills. Fred just frowned, one eyebrow going up. They were now walking up one of the many staircases leading to upper floors.

"If that's true there aren't exactly a lot of choices for champion is there?"

Allen shook his head and explained jabbing a finger in the air to accentuate his point.

"Since there is such a limited amount of students and because we're all fairly experienced enough Professor Dumbledore has made an exception so even Lenalee and I are joining the tournament. Now whoever is the most suited will be chosen I suppose?"

The twins pouted and withdrew their arms from Lavi's shoulders muttering something about traitors and a few colorful curses directed toward their headmaster. Eddie snickered and they continued to follow the Gryffindors down the twisting corridors. Harry realized that the Rosa Crux students were still with them and turned toward Allen.

"Hey ummmm Allen." the boy looked his way.

"Yes?"

"Where are you staying at?" Allen frowned and turned toward Lenalee who was trying to keep Kanda from leaving by himself.

"Lenalee, where am I staying at again...?" She turned toward him and seemed to be in thought.

"I was told the 4th year Gryffindor dormitories. Do you know where that is Harry?" He blinked in surprise and nodded.

"Yeah that's where we're going now. We're all Gryffindors, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George. But aren't you 16? Shouldn't you be staying with the fifth or sixth years?"

"There was no space." Harry nodded and Lenalee turned back to the near impossible task of reigning in her irritable companion. Allen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. I have a horrible sense of direction so I was really worried.

But honestly this castle is amazing! The Dining Hall cei-ACK!" He almost fell forward his arms wind milling as he tried to regain his balance. His foot had gotten stuck in one of castle's many trick steps. His friends burst into laughter, even Lenalee even though she was trying to hide it. Allen began freaking out.

"GAAAAHHHH! What the hell is this! What's going on! It's a ghost step!"

Headless Nick passed by them. "AGHHH! It's a ghost!" Nick looked insulted but merely kept walking... errrr floating on. The passerby snickered at the unfortunate boy as he shrieked. Harry finally decided to take pity on the teen and he and Lenalee pulled him out. Allen collapsed on the staircase breathing hard and glaring up at Kanda who had remained indifferent to the whole affair though his lip twitched as he fought off a smirk. Eddie helped him up and they continued up the stairs with the twins and Lavi replaying hilarious reenactments of Allen's incident. The white-haired youth looked miffed but laughed along with them.

When they reached the Gryffindor common room Fred gave the password, "Toadstools"(I made this up on the spot) and they climbed inside.

"Wow it's so pretty! This whole place is for the Gryffindors?" Hermione nodded and they both said good night before walking up to the girl's dormitories. Harry went up with the others to the boy's. Lavi, Eddie and Kanda continued on to the older students rooms and Allen, Harry and Ron stopped at theirs. They went inside and Harry noticed an extra bunk bed had been set up in the corner with two suitcases next to it. Allen sighed with relief and flopped onto the mattress. Seamus, Neville and Dean stared at their new roommate in the middle of changing into their nightwear.

"He's staying with us. Allen meet Seamus, Dean and Neville." They exchanged hellos and Allen got up to change out of his uniform but the Hogwarts students continued to stare at him. Harry's eyes widened at the black tattooswirling up Allen's shoulder and entirely covering part of the arm not covered by his glove (Allen was wearing his sleeveless turtleneck shirt). He had a lot of things he wanted to say but kept his mouth shut and instead turned around to change. The rest of them also ignored it after a while and they all quickly fell asleep.

~~~~~X-X~~~~~

I REEEAAAAALLLLLYYYYYY don't like how this chapter turned out. It's so obvious I was squeezing everything together and it was rushed and choppy. I promise to do a better job from now on! And I'm planning another Harry Potter/D Gray-man fic. I know-I know, I already have one going blah blah blah but I just can't resist! It might be up in a few weeks? I don't know because I have to update my Kaichou wa maid-sama fic too. But anyway this one is going to be awesome! *eyes on fire*

Agggghhhhhh the plot bunnies are driving me crazy! DDDX
