A/N: So I had someone tell me Chapter eight Hectic, well it was too hectic… So I am breaking them up into smaller chapters. There has been little editing.. But it is just to make it easier on the readers.

Chapter Eight

Game Day.

Madam Bones walked into to Barty Crouch's office. It's been over a year since she really went to see him. He been demoted and her promoted to head. He was now the Head of Department of International Magical Cooperation.

"Amelia, what do I owe you the honor of this visit."

"Did you get a lot of owls from parents saying something about a troll in Hogwarts?" She asked him while he looked up from his paper work. She didn't let him answer.

"Last night I got an owl from Susan. She mailed me since I had sent a late Halloween gift. And she was able to owl me. Other parents started to floo me this morning with complaints as well."

He groaned stacking papers together "Sadly we can't go there unless we get proof. Because Hogwarts is older than the Ministry. It is almost out of our control. And with Albus being the Headmaster our hands are almost tied up."

"Take a seat." He waved his wand and some of the tea he had getting ready floated over to them.

"I know I can't go there. But she also told me how the third floor corridor was out of bound and if you went there expect death. She said some older students went there only to run away in fear."

He was about to say something when an owl flew into the room landing in front of her. She took the letter and small wrapped package.

Dear Madam Bones

I am a seventh year student at Hogwarts. And over the years going to school here I have kept my head down as much as I can being a lion. Any way tonight during our meal. Our defense against the dark arts teacher busted into the great Hall claiming there was a troll in the dungeons. Headmaster Dumbledore then told all the perfects to take us back to our houses. Well the troll must have moved because my house ran into it. If it wasn't thanks to Ace D Portgas, I say I would not be writing to you right now. I have left a memory of everything that happened last night. From us being in the Great Hall till I left the hospital wing.

I like to point something out that Ace pointed out. All the students should have stayed in the Great Hall. There was a troll in the dungeons and Headmaster Dumbledore sent us on our way with no teachers. Only perfects to keep us safe. When it is known Hufflepuff and Slytherin house are located in the Dungeons.

Well I must be going. I just thought you should know.

Amelia opened the package and noticed the memory. "Barty do you have a pensive?" She said handing over the letter for him to read. The moment she been getting letters about a troll getting into the school she knew it was foul play. The wards should have alerted the Headmaster the moment it arrived. But the problem had been with out proof they could due nothing. But with proof… Well Hogwarts would be getting a visit soon.

Barty's face broke out into a grin. "Why yes I do?"

He wave his wand muttering a spell and a cabinet opened up and he got up grabbing the pensive. And soon both submerged their heads into a pensive, moments later to watch the events unfold.

..

That moment in Scotland it was still early in the morning. Most of the at the moment are very tired. Since they did not get a good night sleep after the run in with the troll the night before. Many people had forgotten about the Quidditch game that was to be held. It was now November and the weather had turned very cold. The mountains around the school looked icy gray. As Neville and Ace ran laps around the frozen lake like every Saturday since the horrible flying Lessons started. Ace paused in his running waiting for Neville to join him. He looked at the lake seeing it looked like steel. He then noticed Hagrid walking by waving as he made his way to the Quidditch field to defrost the broomsticks. He shook his head. He kept his broom in his trunk not wanting anyone to steal it. Or mess with his broom.

He stood there thinking about what Marco said. He could change things here. From how everyone been in the wizarding world it was a backwards world. And many of the way people thought were the same as the nobles and celestial dragons from his world. Maybe he could change things. That was when he heard Neville next to him.

Neville stopped running and was leaning over panting next to him, "Sorry Ace I - - Don't—think—I –Can run any more..." He said panting.

"It's ok. Running in the cold is different. Let's go inside and get cleaned up." He said and walked with Neville inside of the school.

Ron was up and jumping about in his pjs "The Quidditch season is starting today." He was cheering.

Ace shook his head and walked into the shower. His punishment for flying when the teacher told him to was to join the team. Oliver Wood had found out, not only was he an amazing seeker he was not any normal seeker. Not wanting to stay still. So he been training with the team and no one had been allowed to watch. Wanting Ace to be... Well their Ace up their sleeve.

Ace thought back to all the people who been telling him he be horrible. And that they would be running around underneath holding a mattress. Which Ace would laugh at them and give them an evil grin. "You think a 100 foot drop would hurt me." Then walk away laughing. He did have many people telling him he be brilliant.

Ace stretched as he walked back into there room after showering. Dean shook his head. "It is crazy seeing how in shape you are Ace."

"Why?" He said while getting dressed into his shorts and t-shirt. He sat on the trunk at the end of his bed. And started to put his boots on.

"Just most kids aren't in shape."

"Most kids don't live on there own."

Seamus laughed "any way who is hungry?"

"That be me." Ace said grabbing his broom and swinging it over his shoulder.

Neville smiled "let's head down."

They were all leaving the dorm as Ron got back just finishing with the shower. "Hey guys wait for me." He said running to get dressed. Ace rolled his eyes.

Only for the twins to run in. "Hey Ace lets go."

"Wood wants us all down at the Great Hall ten minutes ago."

Ace smiled at him "Alright. Guys I will see you later."

"See you Ace." His dorm mates yelled.

Ace was walking with the twins. When a sixth year Ace didn't know walking out of his room noticed them heading down the stairs. "Ace, wait up."

"Umm hi who are you?" Ace asked.

"Name is Robert. I wanted to thank you. You saved my life and so many others last night. I don't know what happen if you where not there. You are a hero."

Ace raised his hand up stopping him "don't think anything of it. I had friends and people I care about. And it was fun fighting the troll. It was a good work out." He said smiling and soon left.

Twins walked next to him laughing about a joke. Only to see Hermione was waiting down in the common room for them.

Looking up she saw Ace and blushed "Ace, I wanted to thank you."

Ace groaned and looked at her. "Did you thank your roommates?"

She looked surprised. "Hermione if it wasn't them worried about you I would not have known you weren't with us. And you're welcome for saving you. Make sure you thank Percy and the twins as well. Anyway I am heading to breakfast with the twins if you want to join us."

Twins looked at her not knowing what to think of the girl.

Hermione looked ready to cry. "Where they really worried about me?"

Ace smiled knowing what this was about. "Yes and the twins here when they found out were ready to go help. Everyone was."

"But I thought no one liked me."

Ace rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah because you act bossy and telling everyone everything. It is like you're trying to brag about your knowledge if you –" He was cut off by George.

"Hermione if you cut back telling people what to do,"

"And showing everything you know all the time."

"And just relax and have fun-"

"You make more friends." The twins finished.

"Thank you for cutting me off guys." Ace said looking at them smiling.

Twin smiled and bowed.

Ace shook his head. "Look let people come to you if they need help with school. Other wise goof off and have fun." Ace said and smiled "Now let's get going I want food."

Hermione looked nervous but the twins grabbed her and started to drag her with them. Because of the two people stopping Ace the rest of the first years joined them. Along with Lee who was bouncing on his feet while reading the players info.

Neville looked up "what's with him?"

Fred smiled "Lee commentates the games."

George smiled "Yeah and we stayed up last night coming up with more jokes."

Ace laughed "I can't wait to hear this."

At breakfast the entire house noticed the change in Hermione. She first took a page out of Ace's book. And bowed while thanking her house for saving her life. She had seen Ace do this a couple times when teachers would give him extra help. The house all smiled and told her they do it again.

Ace smiled and felt closer to the house. He could say it was a little reminder of life with pops. With them all working together they came closer together. Even though the troll wasn't a big deal it was for everyone else.

The other house some how heard what happen and where staring in awe at Ace having fought the troll with no magic.

That moment Ace fell foreword in his food.

George shook his head at his friend. And looked to see Fred was talking with the chasers. He smiled while eating his food and looked down at his little brother to see him getting along with everyone. And then noticed Hermione was a lot more relaxed. He then looked to Neville and smiled seeing the boy poking Ace in the face.

Apparently Neville been running every morning with Ace. And it was starting to show.

Oliver walked in and sat down to eat. "Ok guys, is everyone ok with today. I mean no one was hurt with the troll."

Fred looked to Oliver "We are all fine Oliver. Hurry up and eat."

That moment Ace sat up with food all over his face. And a piece of Bacon in his hair.

"Umm Ace, your face is cover in food," Hermione told him.

He smiled and cleaned his face and ate the bacon and went back to eating.

Lavender groaned "I am so looking forward to the game but it is going to be so cold."

Hermione looked up thinking about what Ace had said, "I might be able to help."

Lavender smiled "Really?"

"Well I've been practicing a spell that lets me conjure a bright blue fire. If we put it in a jar like I've been doing. It will keep us warm."

Dean smiled "Wait you can do that?"

"Would you make one fore everyone Hermione?" Neville asked thinking he may not freeze today. Last night it was trolls and today the cold. And one had been beaten by Ace and other Hermione.

Everyone laughed seeing Ace falling asleep in his food yet again.

Soon the great hall was filled with all the students talking about the troll let in the night before. To the Quidditch match that was about to happen.

Ace sat up and looked around after whipping his face clean he started eating.

Seamus Finnigan smirked "Ace, you need your strength. Seekers are always the ones who get clobbered by the other team."

Ace smirked "Yep I know and looking foreword to the challenge."

Wood looked to his team who where all still eating there food. "Ok guys in twenty Minutes we all leave. We need to warm up and get ready to fly." He said smiling.

The table was listening to the Captain of their houses team. "Last night we all faced a Troll as a house. To help protect one of our own. Now on this day we will stop the tide of wins the Slytherin house has had over the years. This is the best team Hogwarts has seen in years. So we shall go out there and win. The troll was the challenge after that nothing is big enough to get in our way."

Ace smiled and stood up smiling while the rest of the team stood up. And walked out with there house mates cheering them on.

By eleven o'clock the whole school was walking up to the stands. It seemed that every student was up there. Though some of the other house students where taking time to enjoy them selves out on the lawn of the school. The sun was coming out and it was starting to warm up a bit. Even though it was still cold the day was nice. Hermione was popular with her house after making the flames in the jars. Many of the students were warming up to her. In the locker room Ace was leaning against the wall asleep. Soon though all the other team mates walked in. "Hey Ace." Fred said waking Ace up who groaned. They sat down to listen to Oliver's plans.

…

While Ace was listening to the boring speech, Madam Bones was walking onto Hogwarts grounds to see all the students making there way to the Quidditch stands. She smiled with her group of people as they walked up to the headmaster's office. "I like a couple of you to go join the teachers." She said at the steps of the school. "Go watch the game. If a troll attacked the school last night I like all of you to hear what the students and teachers say. Have recording devices on you." She turned walking off.

The ministry workers and Aurors who were not joining Madam Bones smiled. Looking foreword to a Quidditch game. They made their way up to the field to meet up with the teachers.

Hermione joined the rest of the first years of her class. She smiled seeing that Neville, Seamus, and Dean up in the top row. Then noticed Ace's dorm mates has a surprise for Ace, they had painted a large banner on one of the sheets Scabbers had ruined. It said Portgas for President, and Dean, who was good at drawing, had done a large Gryffindor lion underneath. Hermione smiled seeing it "this is brilliant guys."

Dean smiled "Yeah it doesn't feel finishes."

Hermione blushed "Well I do know a spell that so that the paint flashed different colors."

Dean smiled "You must do it."

She smiled and casted the spell to see a couple third year smile "Wow guys that is cool."

(Scene Break)

Wood cleared his throat for silence. "Okay, men," he said. "And women," said Chaser Angelina Johnson. "And women," Wood agreed. "This is it." "The big one," said Fred Weasley. "The one we've all been waiting for," said George. "We know Oliver's speech by heart," Fred told Ace, "we were on the team last year." "Shut up, you two," said Wood. "This is the best team Gryffindor's had in years. We're going to win. I know it." He glared at them all as if to say, "Or else."

"It's time. Good luck, all of you. Also Wood speech was better earlier. Let's go show those snakes who's boss." Ace said and then followed Fred and George out of the locker room.

Ace noticed the flying professor Madam Hooch was refereeing. She stood in the middle of the field waiting for the two teams, her broom in her hand. "Now, I want a nice fair game, all of you," she said, once they were all gathered around her. Ace smirked seeing she was speaking more particularly to the Slytherin Captain, Marcus Flint, a sixth year. Ace looked at him thinking he might have a bit of troll blood in him. But that didn't matter. He was going to beat the snot out of this house. He looked around seeing all of the students in the stands cheering. He noticed the banner high above with his house mates, flashing Portgas for President over the crowd.

He shook his head but smiled.

"Mount your brooms, please."

Ace got on his Nimbus Two Thousand. Madam Hooch gave a loud blast on her silver whistle. Fifteen brooms rose up, high, high into the air. They were off. "And the Quaffle is taken immediately by Angelina Johnson of Gryffindor - what an excellent Chaser that girl is, and rather attractive, too -" "JORDAN!" "Sorry, Professor." Lee Jordan was doing the commentary for the match, closely watched by Professor McGonagall. Ace smirked since he talked with Lee the night before who was going over everyone stats.

"And she's really belting along up there, a neat pass to Alicia Spinnet, a good find of Oliver Wood's, last year only a reserve - back to Johnson and - no, the Slytherins have taken the Quaffle, Slytherin Captain Marcus Flint gains the Quaffle and off he goes - Flint flying like an eagle up there - he's going to sc- no, stopped by an excellent move by Gryffindor Keeper Wood and the Gryffindors take the Quaffle - that's Chaser Katie Bell of Gryffindor there, nice dive around Flint, off up the field and - OUCH - that must have hurt, hit in the back of the head by a Bludger - Quaffle taken by the Slytherins - that's Adrian Pucey speeding off toward the goal posts, but he's blocked by a second Bludger - sent his way by Fred or George Weasley, can't tell which - nice play by the Gryffindor Beater, anyway, and Johnson back in possession of the Quaffle, a clear field ahead and off she goes - she's really flying - dodges a speeding Bludger - the goal posts are ahead - come on, now, Angelina - Keeper Bletchley dives - misses - GRYFFINDORS SCORE!"

Gryffindor cheers filled the cold air, with howls and moans from the Slytherins. "Budge up there, move along." "Hagrid!" Ron and Hermione squeezed together to give Hagrid enough space to join them.

"Bin watchin' from me hut," said Hagrid, patting a large pair of binoculars around his neck, "But it isn't the same as bein' in the crowd. No sign of the Snitch yet, eh."

"Nope," said Ron.

Dean sighed "Ace hasn't had much to do… "

"Kept outta trouble, though, that's somethin'," said Hagrid, raising his binoculars and peering skyward at the speck that was Ace. Way up above them, Ace was gliding over the game, squinting about for some sign of the Snitch. This was part of his and Wood's game plan that was from the last year.

And it seemed that the other team knew this. "Keep out of the way until you catch sight of the Snitch," Wood had said. "We don't want you attacked before you have to be." But Ace had changed his mind.

When Angelina had scored, that was the start of the game plan.

Ace started to dive he looked like he was going for the snitch.

"It looks like Ace has spotted the Snitch."

Ace smirked when he heard this and looked behind him. Plan was under way with the Slytherin seeker following him. He then smiled bigger seeing the Bludger coming his way sent by the Slytherin beater. He smiled and started to fly right in front of the Slytherin Chasers. He smirked when heard the sickening crack of a bone breaking.

"It seemed as Ace was chasing the snitch the Bludger was sent his way only for Adrian Pucey who just got the Quaffle to break his arm. And what is this Ace is diving he must really want to end the game earlier. And what Ace just caught the Quaffle that was falling…. Is that allowed…..? I… One moment." Lee flipped through the rule book. "I say I never heard of this but there is no rule against a Seeker playing with the Quaffle. Well the Slytherins are shocked. To say the least. Ace D Portgas everyone the youngest seeker in over 100 years. And the boy who beat the troll. And also the first seeker I know of to play chaser at the same time."

Ace smirked tossing the ball up and down as his Chasers were floating next to him. He smiled and noticed the Bludger.

The girls all rolled out of the way. Ace smiled and fled the Quaffle in hand and batted away the Bludger with the ball. He didn't need them looking more into it. He smiled seeing the ball hit one of their beaters and knocked him off the broom. Well he was hanging off and the other Beater was flying over to help him back up. He smirked. And noticed out of the corner of his eye Wood doing a happy dance.

John Dawlish was standing at the back of the teachers stand in shock. He never had seen a game like this and because of one player. This Ace Portgas was amazing. He could hear the other Aurors talking about how they were happy they didn't have to go into the castle. He smiled and knew he should contact some of the people. The last Quidditch World Cup went horrible. It was the first time the Americans played in the world cup and beat them. He knew England could use a player like this.

"Well seems that Ace is going for a dive and tossed the ball to Katie who gets another goal. It seems Ace is again flying off… I - wait a moment - was that the Snitch." A murmur ran through the crowd. As Slytherin reserve chaser was coming into play. Since Pucey had a broken arm not. A flash of gold went past the head of Scabior who was coming in.

Slytherin Seeker Terence Higgs had seen it, too. Ace took off for it. Soon neck and neck they hurtled toward the Snitch -all the snakes stopped what they were doing as they forgotten what they were supposed to be doing as they hung in midair to watch.

Ace smiled since all the stunts he had learned during practice and pointed this out the girls kept going to get more goals.

Ace was faster than Higgs- he could see the little round ball, wings fluttering, darting up ahead - - he put on an extra spurt of speed - WHAM! A roar of rage echoed from the Gryffindors below.

All of the people winced and at the scene. - Marcus Flint had blocked Ace on purpose, and sending Ace's broom off course. Ace yawned and stretched his right arm as his left kept him on.

"Foul!" screamed the Gryffindors. Madam Hooch spoke angrily to Flint and then ordered a free shot at the goal posts for Gryffindor. But in all the confusion, of course, the Golden Snitch had disappeared from sight again. Down in the stands, Dean Thomas was yelling, "Send him off, ref! Red card!"

"What are you talking about, Dean." said Ron.

"Red card!" said Dean furiously. "In soccer should you be playing dirty the ref can give you a yellow card. If you get two it is a red card and you are thrown out of the game. Though something that dirty would have been a red card right away!"

"But this isn't soccer, Dean," Ron reminded him.

Hagrid, however, was on Dean's side. "They oughta change the rules. Flint coulda knocked Ace outta the air." Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides.

"So - after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating"

"Jordan!" growled Professor McGonagall.

"I mean, after that open and revolting foul 'Jordan, I'm warning you -"

"All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure, so a penalty to Gryffindor, taken by Spinner, who puts it away, no trouble, and we continue play, Gryffindor still in possession."

Ace groaned and leaned back as another Bludger, which went spinning dangerously past his head that it happened.

This was a moment lead up to everyone holding their breath.

...

But at that moment in time Albus Dumbledore was meeting his surprised guest.

"Madam Bones, what can I do for you?"

She glared at him "I ought to arrest you. I have the grounds to do it. Putting students' lives in danger. I got a letter." Albus started to raise his hand. "Don't raise your hand at me Albus. I have proof that a troll was let into the school last night. I don't give a damn if you say some harmless prank. You sent the students off to their dorms with out adults. You gave it more targets. I know for a fact you could have locked the Great Hall down. And I am here with a team to look into the matter as my job. If you get in my way I will be taking you out of here to a jail cell. Now I must speak with the Gryffindors and the child who fought the troll."

Albus paled he had things happen in the past. All he ever did was have a letters taken read forged a letter from the parents to be sent back to the child saying it was ok. And they would handle it. And would get calming potions into the children. But he was too late to act. He smiled at her. "I assure you everything is fine. Why don't we go see the rest of the game? Since you're here I assume my other work and pause for a moment. So I shall help you as much as possible." They where walking through the halls when they hear cheering.

"It seems the game is under way."

Madam Bones nodded and walked with him. "Albus, I need to talk to the child the game can wait. He will see others."

"Well you see Mr. Portgas seems to taken flying after his father James Potter. He is on the team as a seeker."

Madam Bones stopped "wait are you saying Harry Potter… James Potter son… Why did you call him Portgas? And why is he on the team?"

Albus smiled "it seemed the boy didn't like his name and changed it. Also he has talent not seen here for a long time."

The walked into the stands to see Ace get slammed into. And then they gasped seeing what happen next. "Albus do something this is why first years shouldn't play-"

She was cut off by John Dawlish "Madam Bones that boy is pro level the way he handles himself. I have seen him do things I have never seen before. It is either his broom or something else."

Albus paled knowing all adults would be looked at.

She whispered to her men "Counter curse now… Albus don't show yourselves to any one."

…

Ace's broom gave a sudden, frightening lurch. For a split second, he thought he was going to fall. He gripped the broom tightly with both his hands and knees. He'd never felt anything like that.

It happened again. It was as though the broom was trying to buck him off. But Nimbus Two Thousands did not suddenly decide to buck their riders off.

Ace tried to turn back toward the Gryffindor goal- posts - he had half a mind to ask Wood to call time-out - and then he realized that his broom was completely out of his control. He couldn't turn it. He couldn't direct it at all. It was zigzagging through the air, and every now and then making violent swishing movements that almost unseated him.

Lee was still commentating. "Slytherin in possession - Flint with the Quaffle - passes Spinnet - passes Bell - hit hard in the face by a Bludger, hope it broke his nose - only joking, Professor - Slytherins score - A no..." The Slytherins were cheering. No one seemed to have noticed that Harry's broom was behaving strangely. It was carrying- him slowly higher, away from the game, jerking and twitching as it went.

"Dunno what Ace thinks he's doing," Hagrid mumbled. He stared through his binoculars. "If I didn' know better, I'd say he'd lost control of his broom... but he can't have..." Suddenly, people were pointing up at Ace all over the stands. His broom had started to roll over and over, with him only just managing to hold on.

Then the whole crowd gasped. Ace's broom gave a wild jerk and swung Ace off it. He was now holding on with only one hand. Ace groaned and started to feel tired he shouldn't…. "Oh shit." He never had an attack like this and only when eating. He also never felt it coming on. Something was making him tired. He growled and was pissed. Someone was trying to kill him.

Death the moment was skipping around like a school girl, "Come on Ace fall. Just fall."

Roger was looking at his son worried. "Ace, come on pull your self up."

"Not going to happen. You see the person casting the spell put a sleeping spell on Ace which will make him fall asleep. Ace be able to live this fall no problem. Even with out his devil fruit. But since he be asleep he will land on his head killing him."

Roger looked at his son. He knew things where not set in stone. And knew his son been making death mad since that night and wants his son to keep it up. "ACE, DON'T GIVE UP YOU ARE A D! YOU TAKE AFTER ME AND YOUR MOTHER DON'T GIVE UP!"

Death rolled his eyes "he can't hear you…" He said waving his hand.

Ace groaned and felt like he heard someone yelling at him for a brief moment. He shook his head thinking of everything. Marco looking at him smiling "Ace, you should change your world make it a better place in which you can be free. Everyone can be free and live there life to the fullest. They are children help mold them to be better. And come back home soon. Your brothers all miss you. I know Luffy really misses you too." He thought of seeing Luffy crying he had to get back he was the big brother and needed to be there for his little brother. He looked to the stands seeing Hermione leaving and his friends yelling at him. His vision blurred as his grip started to loosen. He saw the flash of gold under him as his eyes closed.

Fred and George was both freaking thinking Ace was about to fall. They were now below him. And Wood was flying over forgetting to call a time out.

Ace growled he was not going to die. Something was bubbling up inside of him. Nothing this weak was going to kill him. He had to get back to his family and baby brother. Nothing, nothing at all was going to stand in his way. His hand started to burn with the broom looking like it was on fire.

Ace growled and an energy bubbling inside blasted its way out giving off a huge amount of pressure. Ace knew of it. It was Haki like Pops, Shanks… It was the emperor's Haki. Ace felt wide awake. Though his broom wasn't jerking at the moment. He looked to see the twins now falling because he knocked them out. He took off.

Percy and Ron looked to see their brothers falling to there death. All the teachers where stumbling to cast spells to save the two boys. Only to fail as they watched a speeding bullet fly to Fred grabbing him about 100 feet before he hit the ground. Then Ace pushing the Broom even harder and as fast as it could go. Fred groaned starting to come to and surprised the speed he was going to see him flying toward the ground he started to scream and noticed George up ahead falling. He saw Ace reach his hand out and grab George and start to pull up but the weight was too much. "Fred, get on my broom and pull up. I got George I promise everything is going to be ok." Fred climbed on the back taking Control now fifty feet in the air and slowing down.

Ace having George in his arms jumped off the broom. In a second the broom leveled out with ease.

"GEORGE! ACE!" Fred screamed as he watched the two fall fifty feet towards the ground. His world stopped. And he watched the boy land with ease.

Death was beyond pissed. He glared down at the boy below him. "How dare he?"

"What live?" Roger said smiling. He then noticed with a smile not only did his son save those two boys' lives he had grabbed the snitch in all of the chaos of him saving George and Fred.

Death sent a glare at Roger.

…

Madam Bones breathed a sigh of relief. She looked to all of the teachers "All of your hands up and wands away. What ever just happen could not have happen from a broom crash. Magic is involved and dark." She turned hearing the crowds cheering since the Twins were awake and lifting the boy up on their shoulders who were holding the snitch.

Lee smiled seeing his friends where ok "While what ever happened to Ace's broom was happening. The boys of the team tried helping him. Only to the Slytherins to score 30 points in that time period… But Ace was able to catch the snitch." He stated in shock seeing Ace holding the snitch.

"I've got the Snitch!" he shouted, waving it above his head, and the game ended in complete confusion.

"He didn't catch it, he cheated playing chaser," Flint was still howling twenty minutes later, but it made no difference. Ace hadn't broken any rules. And Lee Jordan was still happily shouting the results - Gryffindor had won by one hundred and ninety points to forty.

The cheering was so loud three of the houses that showed where cheering thinking that the Slytherins would lose this year. The cheering seemed like it wouldn't end but that was soon over "Attention students. Please remain in your seats." Madam Bones stood at the mic. "I am Madam Bones head of the Aurors. For Muggleborns who don't know what Auror is that is Law enforcement as you would call police officer now I like you to wait till an Auror can take you back to your houses. There is an Auror in each stand they will be waving there hands and will be at the exits right now. They will be taking you one stand at a time. Now please behave you are not in trouble. We are here to keep you safe. Now please listen to what you are told. Head master has some words to say. Also to the players, good game down there."

"I like to say great game and Mr. Portgas that was an amazing catch you did there. Grabbing the snitch as you grabbed Mr. Weasley then saving Mr. Weasley… I am sure Madam Pomfrey like to see all of you. So Quidditch player you will be taken to the hospital wing. All the students. Depending how long this will take I would like all of you to remain in your common rooms. Lunch will be brought to you. And depending on the time it will take dinner might be there as well. Now be on your best behavior."

He smiled and looked to Lee. "Mr. Jordon why don't you go join the Auror right out side of this stand he will take you to see your friends I am sure. Madam Bones he is best friends if I am right with the Twins and Mr. Portgas."

She smiled "Sure if he is like the twins Arthur is always talking about I don't need him sneaking about. Dawlish please take him."

Lee walked up to Dawlish smiling though slightly nervous. Once they got to the stairs he saw Dawlish holding his hand out. "Mr. Jordan right. I need to see your wand please."

Lee looked nervous and handed it over to hear a spell muttered and to see his wand send out the last ten spell he done. A warming charm, spell for writing, color changing spell, then blasting spell from last night. Then more spells he knew he sent at the troll before leaving with the younger students to help.

"What is the blasting spell for?"

"A troll got in last night and we all ran into it."

"I see is this how the school found out?"

"No sir. We where eating and Professor Quirrell came running in yelling about a troll in the dungeon…. Then headmaster told us to go to or common rooms though it seemed to move and we ran into it."

"Why did you pause?"

"Well just thinking." This point they where walking to meet the other students. "Why was he in the Dungeon? I mean his class is on the fourth floor. And Snape be at class… Just strange… Oh there they are." He took off to join Ace and the twins.

He wondered if the kid had anything on Quirrell and was right. He shook his head "no couldn't be that easy."

Madam Bones has studied death before but not like the dark wizards. She knew the blood and gore of it, the ferocity of its glee. Then the looks of someone sleeping from the killing curse. She was the first one that night to see the Potters from the Ministry. And had been on a man hunt for their son thinking he been taken. Until Albus stepped foreword. She was pissed what happen because he was taken to his Aunts before the will was even read. And then he closed the will's reading. She felt something was up with that but just been an Auror at the time. And most people felt Albus could do no wrong so there been nothing she could do.

She knew murder was rarely a tidy business. Whether it was craftily calculated or widely impulsive, it tended to leave a mess for others to clean up.

Normally it was their job to wade through the gore of the murder, to pick up the pieces, see where they fit, and solve the puzzle of the life that been stolen. While putting the killer into Azkaban. But this time was different than most. Not only did a troll get into the castle. But the very next day a Child is almost killed with most her staff there watching. She knew that many of the Aurors where doing the counter curse but it should have stopped the broom. So who ever did this was strong very strong. She scanned a look over the adults, soon turned to glaring at all the adults. "Alright Hands where I can see them." Aurors stepped foreword. "Alright we are hear for what happen last night and looking into things. Now each one of you will be taken to different rooms and questioned on the events of what happen. A copy of the report will be given to the board of the governs for them to review on your actions. As requirement we will also be checking your wands."

She knew he was getting sloppy at trying to kill the child. Now she knew it which child was the target. But why was Ace Portgas most likely a muggleborn the target. If they hadn't been here he would have gotten sloppy after a bit, if he hasn't already.

Quirrell was starting to worry about this not knowing what to do. He looked around thinking. Soon an idea came to mind and he started to wiggle his body a bit.

"You stop moving." A random Auror yelled at him.

"So- sor-ry it's j-ju-st I need to go to the t-t-t-to-toilets."

The woman nodded looking at him for his stuttering she pulled her wand out. "Fine you're first come here." Quirrell was walking forward shaking a bit like anyone scared and nervous would.

"Let me see your wand." She said smiling at him.

"I… Do-don't ha-have i-i-t..."

"What do you mean?"

"I-I-it's in my o-ff-office."

The woman groaned waved her wand over the man. Nothing seemed to happen. "Ok nothing magical on you." Waving her hand another man walked foreword. "He will take you to the toilets and then to the room for you to be questioned. And they will be needing to get your wand." Quirrell smiled nodding and was happy he gotten a second wand at his Lord's orders now.

It been four hours now and Madam Bones was having a long and tiring day as she sat with Professor Sprout who was walking into her room. Professor Quirrell just been dealt with and was in a different room since she felt something off. Really who is that scared and stutters all the time. How do the students learn from him she would never know? And hoped to fix later. She looked at her paper with the teachers names she was to question Professor Snape after Sprout. "Hello Madam Sprout."

"Call me Pomona; also your niece is a delight to have in my house and doing wonderful in school."

Amelia smiled at this "Thank you now I would like to know events that happen this week. My team or ward breakers found no weakness in the wards. And on top of that hasn't found any forced entry I have checked with the ghost none saw anything and they asked the elves. But that doesn't help if one of you tell them not to speak. Now from the memory I was able to view earlier seeing your face it was easy to see you didn't know about it. But tell me everything that happen and why you let the students wonder around with out a teacher."

That moment three ghost floated into the room, the Fat Friar, The Gray Lady, and Sir Nicholas. The Fat Friar smiled "Hello Amelia I think I might be able to help with that."

Amelia looked up surprised to see the ghost coming to help. "You see yesterday night-"

Pomona looked to see the students walking away and most out of the Great Hall. She paled knowing if the troll ran into any of the students. And it was to be in the Dungeons. Where her little badgers and the snakes where being sent off to. She quickly walked off to see The Fat Friar talking to the other ghost. "Hello Friar I need your all help. If you could my Hufflepuffs and the Slytherins might be in danger watch out for them and make sure they do not run into the troll. Also many students might get separated. With the first years some of them still get lost even though it is this far into the semester. Will you watch over them please?"

Helena the Gray lady smiled at her "It will be no problem. We will watch over the Slytherins and the Hufflepuffs then search the school."

"Thank you I must go find the troll to deal with it." She said about to leave.

Helena looked to her "I will inform the other ghost to start and help the other students. And try and locate the troll." With that the ghost split up and left.

"I know it seems silly that I trusted the ghost. But thought they be good look outs. And if something was to happen. I have told at the start of the year to all my students to do. Listen to the Perfects if a Professor is not around. The perfects know to get to the common room because only someone with a password can get in. And then if they can't get there head to a class room and lock yourself in… Now with a troll this is not best. But the ghost would have been able to distract the troll. And send for help for the teachers."

Amelia smiled "You know you make me happy. Others seemed to have just listen to Albus. And others where sure the students be safe. Some though seemed mad at the headmaster. She thought of Minerva. I can understand from a point the moment he said what he did students were the Great Hall. Now other news is. That I need to ask about why would anyone want to curse or hex Mr. Portgas's broom. I have yet to talk to him. But reports from the healer say he had a sleeping spell put on him. Though how he broke it is unknown. Do you know anyone who would wish him harm?"

"Sadly yes… As you may not know this but Mr. Ace D Portgas is in fact Harry James Potter. I at first thought it was to hide who he is… But he had his name changed. And from what some students say who have talked to him. He answers everyone that he thought his parents were drunks who died in a car crash. He knew nothing of our world… I thought this was wrong. But he gets mad at anyone who calls him Harry. He only goes by Ace."

Amelia sighed great she needed to check her men's wands as well… "Is there anything strange with the Professors?"

Amelia shook her head no, "well Binns is a Ghost, and the new DADA teacher stutters a lot."

"Thank you for your time. You can be escorted either to your office, bed room, or common room to talk to your students."

"Thank you I will go to my office to get work done."

She got up and walked into the classroom next to her. To see Snape was being held. His hands had magical cuffs on him so he could not use magic at all. It was something the Potters had made so when people who knew mind magic could not lie in court under the effects of the truth potion.

She walked in and sat on the other side of the table of Snape. "Do you know why I have you tied up?"

"No why don't you enlighten me."

"There are two main reasons. Yesterday it is on record that you visited the school healer for your leg being messed up. And only why that could happen if you met with the troll. Or some other reasons which I would like to know about. The next reason is you have spells that is similar to the one that been placed on Mr. Portgas's broom.

Snape knew because of the contract he could not tell about the stone. That all the teachers been forced to sign. He looked up and thought about how to answer this.

"Then there is the fact Albus got you off of your last trial. I am pretty sure parents would like to know about that." She looked him dead in the eyes.

"Snape, I know you didn't try and kill the boy. So give me a reason you were trying to save him. Then we will talk about your leg."

Snape looked at her, "He is a student at Hogwarts. He is just a child and should not die. No child should have to fear death. And with the Headmaster gone I was worried no spell would slow his fall enough."

"Not enough the real reason."

He looked at her then to the Auror in the room "get rid of him."

She smiled waving her hand. "Alexander, I will call you back in."

"Alright."

Snape sighed and looked out the window. "His mom's name is Lily Evans. I grew up with her as her friend. Over the years becoming best friends. She was the light of my life. She kept me on the right path. Well Potter his father pranked me one night and well she never forgave me. I joined the Dark Lord on night. I was taken out by upper class men got wasted and next morning I couldn't remember anything but the pain on my arm and I saw the dark mark. With Lily gone they were all I had." He looked at the ground. "I still loved her. I begged the dark lord to spar her life. I even started giving info to Albus Dumbledore to help. The night he killed her I swore I would not let anything happen to her son. I would give my life to keep that boy safe."

She smiled at him "Alright now with the troll what happen?"

Snape sighed knowing he couldn't tell everything. "I went to try and head off who I thought let the troll in. But was attacked and that is the reason my leg got messed up. "

"Did you get a look at the person?"

"No didn't. I thought the person would be trying to get something. "

"What could any one want in this school?"

"Many things Sorting Hat for one is a founder's heir and would get a fair price. Headmaster has many rare items in his office. And let's not look at kidnapping a student. The heir to the Malfoy line is a first year. He is watched like a hawk at home. Here he wonders free like any other student. His parents pay a good amount of money to keep him safe. Then your Niece you raise someone could do something to her to gain control. Many other students the Longbottom boy. Then you have the heir of the Potter line here. Not much has been let out about him. You never know." Snape if he didn't have to lie because of the stone he could tell the truth but everything he pointed out was something he worried about.

She nodded waving her wand the cuffs where let go. "You are free to go to the common room, your class room, office or your personal bed room."

"Office I have a potion lab in it. I need to restock the hospital wing."

"Alexander please take Snape to his office." She said having Alexander walk back in.

She started to head off to the Hospital Wing were it seemed to be spilt into two. The Gryffindors on one side and Slytherins are on the other half. She smiled and walked to Ace and the twins. "I need to talk to you Mr. Portgas."

Ace smiled up to the woman. "Sure thing." He was in flee moment. Knowing she was Law Enforcement made him want to flee from her.

She took him to a room. "I must say all my men and women can't get over your game. Anyway besides that I would like you to tell me everything that happen leading up to the Troll being let into the school. Don't leave anything out. Even if pranks because I need to know everything."

Ace nodded and started telling her everything. Even to the point about fighting it.

Amelia looked at him "Weren't you scared?"

Ace smiled "No not at all… Truth when I was younger I had more scary moments."

"Really how so."

"Well my Uncle wasn't the nicest of people and dumped me in the woods. I live there. Well scary moment was one day not being able to find food… Now that is scary. You see the wolves were not that bad either. Once I got a place built I didn't have to worry about them getting me at night."

She looked at the boy in shock. "You live in the woods by yourself."

"Yes and the Headmaster said I should go back to the Dursley's." He said the name like a bad taste in his mouth. "They beaten me, well then tried too. I hate them and he wants me to live with them. I rather die than be with them."

"I am sure I can work something out to help you."

"Umm I will be fine."

She smiled at him "Any way today what happen in the pitch."

Ace sighed telling her about the game only for her to stop him. And saying sorry meaning she was not asking about the game itself, but about the broom going crazy.

That moment one of the Aurors walked in. She looked up smiling at the man "hello Mr. Bond did you find anything?"

The man nodded "Yes we found the wand." He handed it over to her and she casted a spell and was able to see the spell used was a sleeping spell, and a spell to curse the broom. Then it made her pause seeing the other spells could be used to fool the wards and let a troll into the school. She looked at him "This is no longer a check up at the school it is an attempted murder."

Bond looked at her "We have no idea who the wand belongs too." He stated upset.

"Isn't everyone's wand recorded who it belonged to? And also I remember going to Ollivander and him talking about knowing whose wand belongs to whom. And what about finger prints?"

Amelia looked to Ace having forgotten about him for a moment. Everything he pointed out made since but the last part. "Finger what?"

Ace shook his head and told her how the muggle police use finger prints to track down who they are. Since no person had matching finger prints.

She smiled liking that idea. "Well I heard all of you have been cleared. I will have my men take you to your common rooms tonight. Mr. Portgas I want you to know if you need anything at all you can come to me for help. I also promise I will be doing everything in my power to bring the man to justice who tried to kill you."

Ace smiled "Don't forget women. You never know it could have been a female. Thought I wish you luck."

She smiled watching the boy leave with the rest of the students liking him more and more. She would help him in any way possible.

Ace smiled while walking with the twins. "So Hagrid sent me a letter before the match saying we should see him once it was over. Wanna go in the morning?"

Twins smiled "Sounds like a plan." They were all getting up un-known to them that the Ministry of Magic was going to be banging on Mr. Ollivanders door in twenty Minutes for him to come look at the wand. While this was happening Ace was having the party of this world's life. He hadn't had this much fun since being on Luffy's ship and then before Thatch died. He sat there in front of the fire place smiling while the twins and Lee walked over.

"What's up Ace?" Lee said smiling.

He smiled "Tomorrow night I am going to go get it."

Fred looked at him "What are-"

"You talking about?" George finished.

Ace looked at them. "Hear me out. There is something in that room. The dog is guarding something and I want to find out what. But there has to be more than just the dog. I have been thinking. This is a school… So if they wanted to keep something safe they make a bunch of test. So we just have to get through them."

Lee looked at him "how are we to pass really.''

Ace smiled "I have you three come with. And Lee I see you already planning to join."

"Well duh. Who else is going to keep you safe?"

Ace smiled "Tomorrow night we go… With the whole Ministry being here they be worried more about that than what they are guarding."

Fred smiled "Who knows might be a full OWL's pass or something."

George rolled his eyes. "Or money."

Ace smiled. "What ever it is I want it?"

They smiled and started to whisper among each other.

Seamus looked to Dean "what you think is going on?"

Neville sat down with them. "No idea but what ever it is they are doing it tomorrow I over heard."

Dean smiled "Lets follow them tomorrow."

Seamus smiled "sounds like a blast."

Ron walked up with a glass of Butterbeer and his face had a slight pink tint to his cheeks.

"What happen? Or going on?"

Hermione sat with them as well.

Seamus looked to Dean then to Neville both nodding. "Ace, Fred, George and Lee plan to go into the out of bound corridors tomorrow night. And we are going to follow them."

Hermione was about to yell how foolish that was but stopped "There is a three headed dog waiting there what else do you think they have." She said in one breath.

Dean smiled "This is the great part we don't have to worry about that. Ace will deal with it. Come on he took on a troll and beat it."

Hermione wanted to tell the teachers but knew better she just now had friends.

Hermione smiled "I will help if you want it."

The three boys where whispering together. And looked to Hermione then to Ron figuring it was better to let them go than to tell them to bugger off because they go rat them out.

Neville looked to them "We could use all the help we get."

Hermione smiled, and Ron looked pleased thinking that he be able to help them and also make some friends.

She sat there with the boys talking about different things they might want to take with them. Dean and Seamus where throwing out ideas of rope and many things about being 007. Since Dean was raised as a muggle born not knowing if his father was a wizard or not. Seamus father being a muggle and his mother a witch. His father wanted his son to know the best of both worlds.

Hermione was laughing with them and talking about being a spy. Neville and Ron had no idea what they where talking about. So soon Hermione started telling them the story of James Bond and about each movie. Though Ron and Neville thought it was the truth about someone real.
