Chapter three
Callen woke up early the next morning. He didn't have much of a jetlag,. He could always sleep everywhere. He tried to find his way to the kitchen. It took him some time, but in the end he managed it. When he walked in he saw Harry and Ginny were teaching something. "we did it!" Hermione screamed. "Yeah, Can you two only talk mate or do you two really share a mind?" Ron asked. Harry answered him: "We can pick up everything what the other thinks now. It is difficult to see the others memories though, but with a lot of practise you should manage that. When you can talk you can also share your senses, try it." "What the hell are you doing?" Callen asked. "Hello, Ginny and I came across an ancient book by accident and it explained how married couples could learn to talk to each other in their minds." "Why only married couples?" Callen wanted to know. "Because in the wizard world, when two people marry, their magic becomes united." "And before it isn't?" "Nope, unless you do it with a very complicated ceremony." "And we can't learn that?" "I'm sorry but you don't have magic, so it's impossible." "Well, go back to your training." Callen said. Harry and Ginny turned around and went back to teaching the others.
'interesting' Callen thought 'everyone listens to them without complaining. Wonder what they have been through.' Sam joined Sam in the kitchen. "What is going on here?' He whispered. "Harry and Ginny are teaching the other married couples to talk in their minds." Callen whispered back. "They already mastered it, I just had a conversation with Harry, but now I wonder if it wasn't a conversation with Harry and Ginny both." Sam and Callen took to watching the lesson.
"Yes!" sounded from the other side of the kitchen. It was Tonks, but her hair was blue this time. "Do you see that?" Sam asked. "What do you mean, that her hair was another colour yesterday?" Sam nodded. "Yes, how did she do that?" Callen shrugged "No idea, big man." "Good morning." The woman 's husband, Remus? Stood in front of them. "Good morning, not to be mean or something, but how did your wife change her hair colour?" Sam asked. "She is a metamorphmagus, it means she can change her appearance, that's also a reason why she is so good at undercover work." "Wotcher." Tonks said, walking towards them, but halfway she seemed to trip. Remus quickly turned around and caught her. "Hello dear, what did you trip over this time?" he said, while helping her to her feet. "The carpet." she said, smiling at him. "Hello guys, I'm sorry, but I forgot your names." "I'm G. Callen, but call me Callen and this is Sam Hanna, what were your names again?" "I am Remus Lupin and this is N" "Don't you dare call me that, Remus, You know I hate that name." "Nymphadora Tonks Lupin, but call her Tonks or she will kill you." "you're lucky I didn't kill you." Tonks said. "I thought you were keeping me around?" Remus asked with his eyebrows raised. "I might just do that." "Oh, get a room, you two lovebirds." Callen said.
"I have a question" Sam said. "Why is everyone married so young here?" "That's custom in the wizard world, well marriage young. Harry and Ginny and Ron and Hermione are very young, but they have been through more than most people can say. The circumstances have forced them to grow up earlier. They are mentally older than their real ages. For the marriage young, the wizard world is very old-fashioned. So I hope that explains it. An being at war also helps a bit." Remus explained. "What have they been through then?" Sam asked curious. "That's not for us to tell." Tonks said, looking at the four. "But try to be Harry, he has the weight of the whole wizard world on his shoulders. He had bad childhood and it has closed him of. Ginny is the only one who knows exactly everything he has been through, Ron and Hermione come close, but they don't know everything." "That's bad." Sam agreed.
At that moment Harry walked towards them. "Hey, Sam, Callen. We are going to have a practice fight soon. We against you. Kensi and Deeks should be down in a while. "How is that a fair fight?" Sam asked. "Remus, you up for it?" Harry asked. Remus nodded. "Remus will go with you, he won't fight, but he will do the counter curses and healing. We have to do that ourselves during the battle. Well, the healing part. Fred and George made sure your earpieces work. Nell and Eric will just watch for this one, so it will be four against four." "You four are fighting?" Tonks asked. "Yes, it will be a good dodge training and it has been a while since we had a good fight." "That's true." Tonks chuckled "the last time we needed eight people to be able to at least get a shot at you." Harry laughed "Yeah, it's becoming difficult for us to train."
"Where are we going to fight?" Deeks asked from behind Harry. The team had expected the wizards and witch to be surprised, but they weren't. "How come he didn't surprise you?" Callen asksed. "I am a werewolf so I can hear extremely good." Remus said. " And so I heard it to." Tonks added. "As for me, Ginny is watching my back." Harry said. "Wow, a moment. You are a werewolf?" HE asked Remus. He nodded. "And what did you mean by so I heard it to? And how could Ginny warn you from there?" Deeks asked confused. Harry chuckled and explained the sharing mind thing to Deeks and Kensi. "That's cool." Kensi agreed. "But did you say we were going to fight?" Deeks chuckled. "That's my Kensi, always in for a fight." Harry just nodded. "Yep, in the basement. So if everyone is ready we can go." "Here are your earpieces." Ginny said. "Fred and George charmed them so they would work with magic around." The team putted their earpieces in and followed Harry and Ginny to the basement. Ron and Hermione followed them. "If everyone who wants to watch could sit there." Harry said, pointing to a small tribune. "And no one is allowed to give any form of help. Remus is allowed to do the counter curses for that team, but on one else"
After a small inspection of the area the fight begun. "What do you think Harry?" Ron asked. "Let's wait for a while, then we have to check if the shield charm works with their bullets. If not we have to shoot from behind cover. If it works, well you know what to do then." The other three nodded. "Use the way you can communicate in your minds. We work as a team, but if necessary we split up, Ron and me and Hermione and Ginny. These are our second strongest teams and this way we can communicate with our minds." Ginny nodded/ "Are we going to try to get behind them?" she said. "That's actually a great idea, if you and Hermione do that we keep them occupied here. With illusionment charms we can make it look like you two are still here. Let's go test them."
Harry was the first to do something. He walked to the middle of the basement. Ginny was making sure they couldn't get behind him. It didn't take long for a bullet came flying his way. He quickly conjured a shield charm, but he also dodged. It appeared that a shield charm could stop four bullets before it disappeared. Harry ran back to cover and created an illusion of Hermione and Ginny docking behind a cover a little behind them. The two girls left to get behind the other team. Harry ran to the other side of the basement. Shooting stunners in a high tempo. He let the illusion of Ginny run with him. So it went for a while. Harry and Ron shooting spells at them while they made sure that it appeared if Hermione and Ginny were also shooting at the other team.
'We are behind them Harry.' Harry heard Ginny saying. 'Use stunners and the body bind curse. That will knock them out and make them unable to get to Remus. 'Okay will do. 'Ginny said. "What do you think of it Ron?" Harry asked. "Time to set them checkmate." Ron replied. They run out their covers and started shooting spells. The illusions of Hermione and Ginny had disappeared. While they were shooting at the other team Hermione and Ginny started the fire from behind. With an attack at two sides they didn't stand a chance. One by one the other team went out.
The fight ended and Remus enervated them quickly. "Wow, you guys are good." Sam said. "Yeah didn't see the one from behind coming." Callen admitted. "It was a learning experience for us to." Hermione said, while healing a graze of a bullet on her left arm. Kensi and Deeks had begun shooting back as soon as they started the fire and the bullets had grazed them a couple of times. "Next time we will mix the teams up. Kensi and Deeks with me and Ginny and Callen and Sam with Hermione and Ron." "Why not you and Hermione and Ron with Ginny?" Kensi asked. "That would be a bad fight, since Ginny and I can look through each other's eyes and see the thoughts of the other and Ron and Hermione can to." "Oh, that explains it." Kensi said. "But it was a good fight. Now let's eat." "A great idea princess." Deeks said. And with that they left for the kitchen.
A/N: This story will most likely be updated once or twice a week. It went quicker this far because I had the ideas already thought out, but now not so much anymore. I apologise for the OoC. I have difficulties with writing everyone in character in this story.
