Night Two: The Mission
"Hey Jerry!" Allen said rather happily as he peeked his head around to the counter Jerry was behind. "Oi! Its Allen! What do you want to eat today?" Jerry asked enthusiastically, mostly because he loved cooking and cooking a lot. Cooking for Allen gave him this opportunity. Allen had a larger appetite than most people due to his parasite type innocence. Though he could swear that Allen had an even larger appetite than a normal parasite type innocence wielder.
"Hmm... I think I'll have calpaccho, a nashigoren, some chicken and potato salad, a kuppa, tomyank and rice, oh and how about sixty mitarashi dangos today?" He said as a small grumble came from his stomach.
Jerry had the food ready in quite a small amount of time for such a large amount of food. Though he found great pride in making his food and making it rather quickly with the same great taste that you would have gotten if you had made it slowly, maybe even better. Well Jerry was just a great cook.
Allen grabbed the tray with the large pile of food and sat down at a table away from some of the finders speaking amongst themselves. He just wanted to eat at that moment. He dug into the food and started eating it like a rapid and starved dog on a piece of steak. He was slowly eating his last three mitarashi dangos after around ten minutes of eating when the finder known as Toma walked over to him. "Sir Walker, Supervisor Komui wishes to see you about your next assignment." The finder said watching as Allen quickly stuffed the last few mitarashi dangos into his mouth.
"Thanks Toma!" He said running off towards Komui's office.
Allen entered the room seeing the usual mess of papers on the floor around the desk which Komui usually either dosed off or played around at. Komui really did like skipping out on his work sometimes.
"Komui... you wished to see me?" Allen said seeing the man just sitting behind his desk with his head upon it sleeping most likely. Allen sighed a bit walking over to him, "Lenalee's getting married." He said simply before hearing a rather loud girlish scream. "No! Lenalee! How could you get married without even telling your dear big brother!?" He screamed in a rather hilarious comical manner.
He looked around the room and saw just Allen and readjusted his glasses on his face. "A-Ah Allen sorry I pulled another all nighter last night." He said as an excuse. If Reever had been there he would have said something along the lines of, 'So did all of we!'
Allen almost sighed as a black folder was handed to him. "Theres the information on your next assignment." He said placing his elbow on the desk and putting his chin on his hand in a rather artistic looking manner.
Allen looked over the information in the folder. '... What is this? Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry?' He thought to himself curiously. The idea in itself sounded very funny but... well the Black Order didn't joke around. "Um... ano... Komui... what is this about?" He asked quizzically
"Your to go to a school for witches and wizards. There you are to protect a boy named Harry Potter and also find out information about someone named Lord Voldemort." He said with a laugh, "Its all there in the folder if you read it." He said with a small smile on his face.
"Um.. Komui? What does this have to do with the Earl?"
"... Well this Voldemort fellow might have formed a relationship of some sort with the Earl. Its been reported by the headmaster of the school, who actually happens to be a personal friend of mine, that Akuma have been attacking the school. Normally I'd have Lenalee go with you but unfortunately she's in Egypt right now. So you'll have to go alone to this school. You've been enrolled and you'll have to take their classes and such. You can't let anyone know about this mission weather they be witch or wizard or a normal civilian." He said on a serious note his earlier antics gone. He wouldn't explain it all, why would he? It was all in the folder... Allen still just felt confused.
"You'll be picked up by a man named Hagrid here in around an hour and he'll take you to get the supplies that you need for school. Don't worry every expense will be paid. You'll spend the night at a place called the Leaky Cauldron and get aboard the Hogwarts express the next morning. I suggest you read up on every thing in that folder." Komui added at the end.
Allen nodded, "Got it." He said simply. "I'll send Lenalee over when she gets back." Komui said with a small nod. "But take care of my dear Lenalee!" He said with a goofy smile upon his face. Allen smiled a bit as he walked out the door. 'Be careful Allen.'
Allen was packed, not that he had that much to pack, and an hour had passed while he waited for someone named Hagrid to come get him. How? Well he didn't know. He heard a sudden alarm going off. Then a loud announcement, "Allen Walker! Your ride is here." It/he/she (Allen couldn't tell... maybe it was another Komurin?) said loudly.
Allen sighed a bit grabbing the small case full of his clothes. Timcampy hid within his Black Order cloak. He walked to the only exit he knew of in the Black Order Headquarters, where Alestina Drow Joanason P. Robathan Gia Amadeus V, the gatekeeper was.
The gate was opened and he stepped out having it closed behind him. He glanced over at where a rather large man was with two rather strange creature by him. They looked to be horses which had very thin skin upon its body. Plus bat like wings coming forth from its back. "Um... 'Ello? Are you Harid?" Allen said curiously. He felt rather short even when standing a few feet away from the man and with him bending down a bit as well.
"Aye I am Hagrid." Hagrid said, "An' who might you be?" He asked. "I'm Allen Walker its a pleasure to meet you." Allen said in his polite way. "Ah yer Allen? Well its nice to meet you as well. I'll be takin' yeh to Daigon Alley first off." He said with a nod. A rather confused look appeared on Allen's face. Hagrid let out a chuckle. "Well come on then." He said sitting upon one of the strange creatures known as Thestral, though Allen didn't know that. He also didn't know that the creatures where invisible to those who hadn't seen someone die in front of him.
"Um..." He said walking over to the other Thestral. "What is this..." He said trailing off a bit looking at it strangely.
"Oh? You can see it? Well that there's a Thestral. 's a winged horse of sorts. Its only seen by those who have seen someone else die." He said, "That there's Tenebrus, he should be alright for you to ride. Well lets get goin'." He said with a nod as Allen got onto the Thestral.
"Tenebrus knows the way. Just 'old onto him tight so as not to fall." Hagrid warned before the threstral he was on started flapping its wings and flying upward. Allen quickly grabbed onto the neck of the threstral known as Tenebrus as it too started following Hagrid.
He felt strange on the creature and he sighed, it was going to be a long ride he could tell so already.
Allen couldn't help but think of everything he didn't know about the world. He didn't know that Wizards and Witches actually existed, he wondered what else he didn't know about that existed, or something he didn't think existed that really did.
He was on a flying skeleton horse for heavens sake! That had at least made him wonder about other things he didn't know that where in the world.
He'd like to learn more about this Hogwarts place... but still guilt got to him. He really should be fighting the Millennium Earl... though there hadn't been anything recent about the Earl lately. In fact he had disappeared... Which just made everyone at the Black Order worry more.
It was as the saying went 'Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.' Though you couldn't exactly do that when your enemy was the Earl. Who either could teleport places... or some how had more than one of himself with all of the Akumas that where popping up everywhere.
Allen sighed a small bit as he kept his hands clutched around the neck of the threstral he was on, he really didn't want to fall off and with the bad luck he always attacked... he wanted to be safe instead of sorry.
Allen was surprised that it only took around an hour and a half to arrive at the place where they finally landed. It was an alley behind some place called the Leaky Cauldron, a place he vaguely remembered Komui mentioning.
"Um... Excuse me but Hagrid? What are we doing here... it seems to be a dead end." He said pointing out the fact that it really was a dead ended alley. Allen's face adopted a quizzical look as he watched Hagrid bring out an umbrella and tapped some of the bricks in a specific order. Allen's mouth formed an oh as the bricks moved to show a large area behind it.
Allen to say the least was amazed at the sight of all of the witches and wizards who where in the crowded market like atmosphere. Hagrid chuckled at Allen's expression. "Welcome to Daigon Alley Allen. Now first off, we have to get you a wand." He said as he started towards Ollivander's wand shop.
Once more Allen began wandering many things about this new world in which he would be immersed within for the mission.
"'Ello? Ollivander? Where are yeh?" Hagrid asked not seeing the elderly man who ran the shop. A loud bang was heard before the man finally came out from a large pile of newly knocked over boxes filled with the wands. He sighed as he brushed himself off and used a spell to stack the boxes up to the ceiling once more.
"Ah! Mister Hagrid! And you are Allen Walker I presume?" He said with a warm cheery tone of voice. "Yup! This is 'im." Hagrid said with a nod. "Ah okay well lets see..." Ollivander said running back to pick out a few different boxes of wands.
"Here try this." He said taking one out from its box, "Just swish it." He said with a smile seeing Allens obvious confusion. Allen did so, nothing happened. "Hmm... Lets try this one next." The elderly man said putting the other wand away and taking out another. Nothing happened once more.
Ollivander scratched his head a bit. "Hmm... Hold on a second..." He said running back into the large aisle like row of boxes. He chose out a rather dusty wand and blew the dust off of it carefully. He handed it carefully to Allen who then in turn swished it and sparks flew out lighting the room rather powerfully.
"Ah! I see this wand had chosen you. Its made of Holly with a Chimera scale core, ten inches." He said taking the wand from Allens hands. "Perfect for spells of all kinds. And rather powerful too." He said handing it back to Allen. "I expect great things from you Mr. Walker." He said with warmth in his eyes and winking.
"Thank you Mr. Ollivander!" He said as he and Hagrid headed out of the shop with the wand having already been paid for. He followed Hagrid next to some place called Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions.
While Madam Malkin was measuring Allen Hagrid couldn't help but be thinking about how somehow Dumbledore knew that Allen would be magical. He wondered why Allen hadn't been invited to Hogwarts when he was eleven.
After Allen had finished he thanked Madam Malkin and Hagrid told her that they would pick up the robes fitted for Allen after finishing up school supplies shopping.
Author's Note: Okays! I think this chapter went over pretty well... I hope that it did any way. Okay for some questions that might be asked...
This takes place in the Harry Potter/D. Gray-man world. Just to let peoples know... D. Gray-Man does take place here, only in the late nineteenth century. That is when this fic will take place. It won't matter all that much due to the fact that muggle electrical devices don't work in Hogwarts any way. This fic goes by how much technology that is in the D. Gray-Man series meaning Telephones do exist and such.
Any way. If you have any more questions put them in your review or PM me. I don't bite... okay I do but I can't bite you over the Internet now can I? XD
Sorry it took so long! I had a research project due yesterday so I'm a bit behind with this fic already. I had planed to update it the day after I put it up. Though... I didn't as you can see.
Any way in the next chapter I'll introduce Alphonse and Edward. I'm doing things a bit differently than what happened in the movie and such so watch out for that. I'll probably point things that I'm going to write that are different from the movie in the Author's Note of the next chapter. So watch for that.
Please review! I want to know what pairings I should put in this fic! Every fic needs at least a bit of romance. (Don't worry this fic won't be totally into romance happening the whole time!) It can be anything Yaoi, Yuri, or Straight Pairs.
Oh and if anyone can Beta for this story please inform me! I need to find someone who knows all three series and will willingly beta for all three and be okay with homosexuality going around if I decide to make that happen. I've been looking but the ones I've gone through all don't accept homosexuality... ;
Ja ne!
-- Note: I'll try to have the next chapter up as soon as I can. Most likely no later than two days from now if not earlier!
