I decided to post this chapter early. My mom is dragging me to New York to see my cousins for Turky Day(can you hear how happy I am about this? I didn't think so.) So I won't be here to post on Friday. Thanks for the reviews and hplver, I'm putting a list together so I should have it done soon. Standard disclamer, if I owned it, I wouldn't have to save my change and then use those machines at the Grocery store to make it into dollar bills. Enjoy your turky day, don't eat too much or you will barf(experience speaking). Hugs for all who reviewed.
Angel swooped down into battle again, his mind focused on one thing…..kill. It must have been scary, seeing an angel swooping down on you, bring his sword up to strike you down. Angel almost laughed when someone screamed, "It's the angel of death!"
Meanwhile the Order of the Wolf and the Order of the Pheonix had finally arrived. Remus shook his head when he heard a piercing scream behind him and turned to see Angel swooping down on a deatheater, going in for the kill.
Sirius was shooting a stunner at a death munchkin when he saw an almost identical thing happen, he smiled slightly. His godson sure knew how to scare the shit out of people, he had so many mysteries.
Sirius felt a presence behind him and he turned to see his cousin Bella. "Come and pway wittle Siri."
Sirius growled; he hated when she talked like that, she was of course considered evil, but she still acted and talked like a three year old. "Coming oh dear cousin of mine."
As Sirius and Bella duked it our, Remus and Malfoy were battling in front of the ice cream shop, now on fire from a very off course curse, Remus was winning, though it was extremely close.
Angel swooped down on yet another death eater, impaling him with his ever trusty sword, the death eater let out a high pitched scream before dieing. Angel winced, his hearing had improved as well as his eyesight, that noise, and all of the other noises were causing him some major irritation.
He saw some Pheonix members trapped in an alleyway by a bunch of death eaters, they were easily outnumbered, and some were injured. There were five of them, three men and two women. Angel immediately landed in front of them, wings out stretched, to intimidate the black-cloaked fiends and to protect the Pheonix members.
"It's an angel," one of the slower death muppets cried.
"No shit Sherlock," Angel said, smirking. He held out his hand and blasted them out of the mouth of the alleyway. He winced as he heard a smash as a few of them went through the large display window across the street, he might have put a little bit too much power behind it. "Whoops," Angel said sarcastically as he took off again, leaving behind the Pheonix members, staring after him, mouths open.
Angel really was an angel of death, he had totaled over 19 deaths and 32 injured death eaters. The battle was easily won by the Wolves and the Pheonix, though the Wolves did the majority of the work.
As the Wolves left, Angel remembered the girl on the roof and flew up to retrieve her. "I'm sorry about the wait miss." Angel stated politely, picking the girl up and flying her safely to the ground where her frantic father awaited her.
"Oh thank you," the man gushed, "I couldn't live without her."
"Eh….Sure, no problem," Angel said, embarrassed. "I have a saving people thing."
"You mean a hero complex," Remus said, placing a hand on Angel's shoulder.
"Hey Alpha, saw you fighting, are you getting old or what?" Angel kidded light-heartedly.
"Well I'm not as young as I used to be, but on a full moon, if you're not careful, something large and furry will jump out from under your bed kiddo."
"Ha-ha verrry funny," Angel drawled, as the man looked on in amusement and the girl was holding back her giggles.
"Well if we're done here….." Angel said, getting ready to spread his wings and take off.
"Wait," Remus said, "Angel, this is Don Lovegood, owner of the Quibbler, and this is his daughter Luna, who as I saw, you have already met."
"Well it's nice to meet you sir, I love your magazine, I was really interested in the article about the Snargles," Angel said.
"Really? I am putting a follow-up article in the next edition, we actually have a picture." Don said excitedly, eyes shining.
"Wow, I can't wait. I hope I can get my subscription in on time, I've been so busy I can't find time to owl it." Angel said smiling, "Do you think you could take it now if it's not too much trouble?"
"Sure, in fact I'll do better, I Don Edward Lovegood present you…..Eh……whatever your name is, a free subscription to The Quibbler." Don bowed to Angel.
"That's really nice of you…..But I really can't give you a name, I'm just known as Angel." Angel ran a hand through his hair.
"That's fine; I'll just give it to Mr. Lupin here when he stops by the office every week." Dan said nodding to Remus, "Since I get the idea you two are chummy."
"Yeah…..Chummy all right, well I have to get going, it was nice to meet you Mr. Lovegood, Miss Lovegood, good day." Angel took off, happy to get away from the attention he was receiving.
"He's a shy one isn't he?" Don asked, putting an arm around his daughter's shoulders in a fatherly way.
"No not really, he actually a complete prat most of the times," Sirius said grinning as he walked up to the threesome who were watching the winged teenager fly away.
"Ah, Mr. Black, nice to see you again," Don said sticking out a hand for Sirius to shake. "I have a proposition for you two gentlemen if you would like to go to the office and discuss it."
"Why don't we go back to headquarters, it's more private." Remus suggested intelligently, h could tell this was a delicate issue by the way the man's eyes were shifting around warily.
"Yes that'd be fine, is it all right if Luna comes with us?"
"Yes of course," Sirius injected, "She's welcome to hang out with Angel while we have our meeting."
"Sure, but I was wondering if he really is an angel or he just calls himself Angel?" Luna said, her dreamy facade falling for a moment, as her eyes flashed with pure intelligence.
"He's not an 'angel' angel, but well it's kind of hard to explain. He's mostly human though." Sirius said, handing Luna a portkey since she could not appricate yet. "He calls himself Angel as well for lack of a better name, he isn't very imaginative."
"Oh….Ok," Luna managed to say before disappearing with a pop. She found herself in a nice office with two leather couches and two desks and chairs. Sitting on one of the couches was Angel, but he didn't have wings.
"Hi," Luna said plopping down on the couch across from him. He smiled, taking in her long almost white-blonde hair, sky blue eyes and strange clothing. She was wearing a lime green skirt with red circular a pin that read I believe in Snargles, and a star shaped pin that read Quibbler. She had on orange and blue striped tights and yellow rain boots. Her top was a purple tang-top with showed some skin, and she had on a bottle cap necklace and radish earrings.
"It's nice to se you again Luna," Angel said as the other three wizards walked into the room.
"I'm glad you found your way back twerp," Sirius said, swatting at Angel's head playfully.
"Well I'm not directionally challenged like some people Mr. This is sooooo the route to Easton." Angel shot back, smirking at Sirius's lack of response.
"Why don't you show Luna around the grounds a bit Angel?" Remus suggested, settling down into his chair behind the desk with a contented sigh, while Don took a seat in front of it and Sirius sat on the corner of the desk.
"Okay," Angel shrugged, and walked out the door, motioning for Luna to follow him.
"So Luna do you go to Hogwarts?" Angel asked as they walked past the stables.
"Yes, but I don't like it much, no one likes me. Daddy won't let me transfer though, he says Hogwarts is the best school there is." Luna said sadly.
"Why doesn't anyone like you?" Angel asked, "You are awesome, and your Dad owns the Quibbler, I would think that's grounds for popularity."
Luna laughed lightly, "Popularity? That's the last thing I need to worry about, it's the fact that people think I'm weird for believing in things like Snargles and Morley Puffs."
"Well I believe in them, I've actually seen a Snargle, last Christmas I believe." Angel said, sitting down under an old tree.
Luna joined him, "You actually saw one? Was it mistletoe?"
"Yes, my sister Kaylee caught me under it, and I had one fly into my ear, I got it out, but no one believes me."
"Wow, that's amazing." Luna said, looking at Angel in awe, "Well not many people would believe I'm actually sitting next to a guy who had wings about twenty minutes ago."
Angel laughed, "I'm sure they wouldn't. People are like that though; I have just learned to ignore them. They'll eventually get bored and go away."
"Not my house," Kuna said rather bitterly, "And Potter and company, they steal my stuff call me names, and push me around; I guess it could be worse, but I still hate it. They've been doing it ever since my first year."
"Well, Potter is a bastard; I know that for a fact, he takes after his parents. Boy, are they fucked up, anyways, Luna, do you ever fight back? Do you stand up for yourself?"
"Well…..No, my father said I should just try to get along with them. The only people who are nice to me are Ginny Weasely and Neville Longbottom from Gryffindor."
"Well you have to tell them to stop, push them back, stand up for yourself and don't let them walk all over you." Angel said, "Watch this."
A bunch of teenage boys, probably a few years older than Angel were strutting up. Angel knew their type; he'd seen them before as well, pushing younger and older people alike around.
"Hey you, what do you think you are doing? This is our territory, get lost." A beefy young man said, trying to sound superior.
"Hey I'm talking to you." The boy sputtered, seeing Angel's eyes fixed on a spot to his right.
"Huh…..Were you talking to me? I didn't hear you." Angel said, smirking slightly.
"Freak, I said clear out." The boy said boldly, Angel growled, and in a flash had the boy by the throat, pinned neatly against the tree before any of his cronies could react.
"NEVER I MEAN NEVER CALL ME THAT, YOU JIT BAG." Angel let go of the boy and let him slide to the ground like he didn't have any bones. "I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Angel, your new worst nightmare and commander and personal slave driver, better known as a drill sergeant. If you think you hate me now, wait until I have you greenies run five miles as a warm up."
All of the teens in front of him had a look of hate and fear in their eyes. "Now go fuck off, I'm trying to have a conversation, and take that knob with you." Angel growled, motioning at the weak boy on the ground behind him.
After they scampered off, Angel sat down, "That's how you do it."
"Wow! I don't think I could do that though, I really…..Well I'm not exactly a people person and I hate to yell. I usually just sit around and think." Luna said, smiling.
"Hey that's all right, I wasn't a people person when I was younger but my Dad worked on it with me and now…..Well you see the results." Angel cracked his neck and stood up, offering Luna a hand up as well which she accepted.
"Thanks," Luna said, "I never got to thank you for saving me earlier, so thanks again."
"No problem, as Remus said, I have a hero-complex." Angel started off towards the offices again.
Luna giggled, "I wonder if I have a hero-complex, and if I had one, what would I name it?"
"Eh….Bob?" Angel said.
"Mr. Lupin was right, you have no imagination. Fine my non-existent hero-complex is named Bob, and yours can be…..Flower." Luna's eyes danced with mischief as she took off running.
"Flower……HEY at least I gave yours a half-decent name."
He He, I personally liked the flower part, how about you. Anyways, please review. this chapter was kind of slow, but the pace will pick up soon, I promise.
