It was mid January and the group sat in the common room. Uryu had the Maruders map on his lap. He could feel the coin lying heavily in his pocket, although he hoped he wouldn't need it. The others looked at the map in shock. In Professor Gretal's room was a dot moving arround labled 'Tom Lestrange'. Uryu looked up at the others crowded around him. "I checked the ages. Professor Gretel was born about a year after Voldemort came back to power in your parent's fourth year, and would fit in perfectly as the son of Voldemort and Belletrex Lestrange." explained Uryu. The others looked at the map in shock.
"How would that even be possible?" Albus asked.
"The map doesnt' distinguish the difference between suffix's. Voldemort himself was named Tom Riddle after his father, and if you rearrange Professor Gretel's full name of Tomsan Gretel, you get Tom Lestrange. He was given his mother's last name, most likley for protection." said Uryu. They all fell silent. It was clear Uryu investigated this a lot on his own before he spoke.
"When did you find out?" James asked.
"When you gave me the map. I wanted to be sure so I did a little looking around." Uryu said. Ichigo punched him in the face. The others looekd socked. Uryu glred at him. "What the hell is your problem?" Uryu hissed. Ichigo glared.
"That was dangerous you idiot! If he caught you then we wouldn't have known what was going on! You put yourself in some real danger this time!" Ichigo hissed. Uryu looked down at the edge of the table, feeling really foolish.
"You did an amazing job though Uryu." said Rose. Orihime nodded.
"Yeah Uryu, nobody else had learned about this yet but you!" she said, trying to cheer him up. Renji and Rukia both laughed. Uryu glared at them.
"Alright, so now that we know who the enemy is, what do we do next? The body count went up while we were away for Christmas break. Five more students were drained of their spiritual pressure." Shuhei said. The others looked to Uryu. He said stunned. Ichigo was their usual leader, Toshrio was a Captain, and James was the oldest son of a famous hero here, any one of them would be used to taking on the lead, so why are they all turning to him?! Uryu tock his wand in his hand, not knowing how to respond.
"We need to stop him as soon as possible." Uryu said. The others nodded.
"We can go confront him!" Ichigo suggested. James, Rukia, Renji, and Rose's fists all collided on Ichigo's head at the same time. "OW, WHAT THE HELL!" he yelled.
"Do you pay attention, or do you jsut not care?! This is the son of two of the most powerful dark wizards in existance." James said.
"And your all the children of the most powerful wizards on the good side, plus your all named after powerful people aren't you?" Ichigo asked. They all fell silent. "Besides, we have a Captain, a few lieutanants, a Quincy, Orihime, Chad, and Me, we can take this one guy." Ichigo said. Rose, Lily, Albus, and Hugo's fists connected with his head next. "NOW WHAT!?" he yelled.
"You don't ever pay attention. Have you ever heard of the Deatheatters? Voldemort never fought alone, he always had his followers a step behind him, understand. Lestrange is more than likely to have followers of his own too!" hissed Rose.
"I still don't see the problem. We got pleanty of people here, and if we need to, we can always call Rukia's brother or your dad." Ichigo said. James gave him an evil look.
"And just how do you suppose we do that?" he asked. Uryu threw the coin at him, and after a second, recognition crossed his and the other's faces, while Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, and the Soul reapers looked clueless.
"Rukia has her soul pager, and we have this." Uryu said.
"How did you get this?" asked Albus.
"Your father gave it to me before we left. He thought we might need it." said Uryu. He was surprissed that he was helping Ichigo on anything, but someone had too. They all nodded.
"I guess we can go then, but Lily, Albus, your staying here." James said. Lily and Albus both had that miscevious look that Ichigo and the others had never seen on their facces before.
"If you think we're missing out on this you have another thing comming. Our parents fought, our grandparents fought, and we're going to fight too!" Lily said. Rose turned to Hugo, but he was smirking too. Her and James sighed in defeat.
"Should we at least tell McGonagall first?!" Rose asked. Ichigo pulled out his substitute soul reaper badge and hit his chest, his soul being pushed out of his body. He held his zanpakuto above his head.
"I think we got this." he said. They all nodded.
"Then let's go." said Toshiro. He tock the lead in leaving the room. Rangiku stood next to him as Shuhei, Nanao, Renji, Rukia, Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime, Chad, James, Albus, Lily, Hugo, and Rose followed them. They headed up towards the man's office, ready to confront him. Ichigo knocked at the door but there was no answer. In frustration, Ichigo kicked the door open so that it nearly flung off it's hinges. Tom was sitting at his desk writting. He looked u to see the group.
"It's late, and you children shouldn't be out of your beds." Tom said.
"That night that we were investigating Malfoy and the Lestrange boy, you knew we were out and tried to get us off the trail." Rose said. Tom looked at them with confusion.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. They all glared at him.
"You know exactly what she's talking about. You didn't want us to find out about you, and if we talked to Lestrange of Malfoy they could let it slip that you are related, Tom Lestrange." Toshiro growled. Tom started laughing, and Uryu was ready for him to shoot back denials and accusations of them, but to his surprise Tom stood up.
"I knew it would be a good idea to keep my eye on you kids. Yes, my father was indeed Lord Voldemort, so glad you figured that out. Was it little Rosey? No, I beleive it was you Mr. Ishida." he said looking over at Uryu. Ichigo looked afronted.
"How do you know it wasn't any of us?!" he yelled. Tom laughed.
"So it was you Mr. Ishida, your smarter than I gave you credit for. Impressive. Now tell me, what do you plan on doing?" he asked.
"Stopping you." Uryu said.
"Is that so...Rictusempra." with a flick of his wand, Orihime went flying across the room with a shout.
"ORIHIME!" Ichigo, Uryu, Rukia, and Chad yelled in worry for their friend. Ichigo launched himself forward at the man.
"Partrificus Totalus." Tom said lazily. The body bind went into effect and Ichigo fell face first onto the ground. Toshiro, Rangiku, and Renji all charged with their swords. "Diffindo." he said. Deep lacerations cut across all three of their bodies and they fell to the ground. James pulled out his wand, he had enough of this man.
"Expelliarmus!" he yelled, planning on disarming the wizard. Tom moved easily away so the attack had missed him and kicked James hard in the stomach. James dropped to the ground.
"Bakudo number sixty- two, Hypp..." Shuhei started, but Tom turned to him.
"Crucio." Shuhei let out an alarming scream and fell to the ground, yelling until Tom pulled back his wand. Rose looked at him in horror.
"The unforgivable curses." she sputtered. Tom laughed.
"Did you children really think you were ready to fight me? That was a stupid plan, now I can't let you get away!" he told them. Then he turned to Uryu. "Your the one who brought this on them too! There is such a thing as knowing too much you know." he said. Uryu glared and pulled back his bow, having it form in his hands. He released an arrow. "Protego." a shield formed around him that deflected Uryu's arrow. Uryu gritted his teeth in frustration.
"CHAD!" he yelled turning to the giant. Chad nodded to show he was listening.
"Get the others out of here." he yelled.
"No way, we're Lieutenants of the thirteen court guard squads, we're going to fight." said Shuhei, pushing himself up with his sword. He was ready to go again. Renji nodded, standing up as well. Renji turned to Rukia.
"Rukia, get Orihime out of here." he told her.
"No! I want to fight too!" Orihime objected standing back up. Toshiro and Rangiku stood up, as did all the others but Ichigo who was still in a body bind on the ground. Tom just laughed.
"I see, it'll take a little bit of fight to get you all down for good huh. No worries, I do have my followers waiting to help too!" Tom then pulled back his sleeve to show a skull and snake. "You might recognise this as my fathers mark." he told James. James smiled.
"Go ahead and call you reinforcements, ours is already on the way!" he said holding up the D.A. coin. Tom tensed, the only wizard that was able to kill his father was on his way. At first the others thought it was nerviousness, but the grin on his face broke that theory.
"I'm excited, I was waiting to kill your father when I got all the power I could from these brats, but I beleive once I'm threw with all of you, i'll finally be able to kill him." Tom said with a laugh. The doors flung open as a few masked individuales came in. Uryu glared at the man.
"That's how you got those students. You used your men to attack them and drain their spiritual pressure, then transfer it to you." said Uryu. Rangiku's eye's turned cold, having had a similar thing done to her by Aizen. She saw Gin flash threw her mind, this man was not going to get away with it! The others were up and ready to go.
"Lieutenant Ise..." started Shuhei. Nanao smiled.
"I can handle one of these guys on my own without a problem." she said. A muffled protest came from where Ichigo lay on the ground, wanting to be released from the body bind he was in. He tried to break it, but every muscle in his body was frozen.
"Your such a pain." complained James as he performed the counterjinx. Ichigo climbed to his feet.
"He's mine." Ichigo growled. Suddenly Ollivanders words echoed threw Uryu's head. Uryu stepped forward and put a hand on Ichigo's shoulder.
"Sorry to disapoint you Ichigo, but I'm taking on Lestrange." Uryu said. The others nodded, supporting Uryu's decision. Ichigo however, glared.
"No way Uryu, i'm taking him on." he said. Tom laughed.
"I don't want to bother with you anyway, I'd rather fight Mr. Ishida there." Tom said. Ichigo glared.
"Why, because you know i'll defeat you?!" Ichigo asked. Tom shock his head.
"No, rather, I beleive young Ishida would be a more difficult opponent then you. Afterall, brawn always has to bow to brains in the end." he said. Ichigo blinked trying to understand.
"In other words Uryu's smarter, but we gotta take care of there guys." James yelled at Ichigo. Ichigo looked at Uryu to see Uryu was dead set on this.
"Be careful Uryu." he said. Uryu nodded, and Ichigo ran off with the others to lead the followers away. The two were alone.
"Deprimo." Tom said, sending the blast at Uryu.
