Hello! The long wait is over!
DGM is coming back guys! JULY 17! I'm freaking out!
Hope you like this chapter! :)
(Allen Dreaming)
It's so dark.
Walking forwards clumsily Allen stumbled through pitch black space. He couldn't even see his hands that he was holding up extremely close to his face to test his vision. Allen continued to walk forward even though the floor rebelled and tried to yank him so the ground with every step.
'Don't stop, always keep walking.'
"Mana?"
Mana's voice resonated beneath the floor. And suddenly a stair case formed a few feet away from where the boy was struggling to walk. Since it was pitch black and the ground seemingly had a death wish for Allen's feet, he fell/rolled down this long, long, long stair case. Soon he gathered his barrings and lightly pushed off the edge of a stair with his hands to land gracefully on the heels of his feet, just as Mana had taught him.
'Mana you always say that! I'm tired, lets go back home!'
Is that?
'Neah! You know what Tom said! The three of us are going to have a secret meeting and talk about fun stuff. It'll be worth it, I promise!'
A simple door similar to the ones in the ark appeared to the left of the very confused Allen Walker. The door swung open and an unknown force shoved the white-haired teen into the abyss behind the door. Right before what would have been a painful impact Allen awoke.
Sweat rolled gently down the right cheek of a terribly confused Allen Walker. 'Who is Tom? That was Neah's memories. Is the noah taking over?!' Allen bolted out of bed and ran to the nearest mirror, awaking a lightly sleeping Lavi in the process.
"Allen?"
The reflected image in the mirror showed an unwanted trait that only the noahs had; golden eyes. But as quickly as they were discovered they receded showing a familiar blue-gray. Allen sighed with relief. Luckily Lavi didn't notice the color change, plus he was just waking up and didn't comprehend his friends strange actions.
"Good morning Lavi."
"Morning."
Both got ready fairly quickly and walked out of their room. Lavi took a quick look around and remembered all the moving stair cases he saw yesterday. There was no way he could navigate this place yet. Allen definitely couldn't. 'Oh well it wouldn't hurt to try.'
"I think we go this way to get to Dumbledore's office."
Lavi pointed to the left. The pair began walking down the long halls with many sleeping paintings. It was an ungodly hour for the rest of the castle. Lavi and Allen were both used to waking up early so they could train for their exorcist duties. Allen blindly followed Lavi trusting him to know where he was going. Oh was he wrong!
Lavi was just walking in a random direction. Any crossroad he would just think 'Which side has more beautiful painting ladies?' and continue in the direction he deemed more beautiful. Allen wasn't stupid and was catching on to Lavi's little game. Lavi took a turn to the left and hit a dead end. Then magically a wall appeared behind them blocking their way back.
"Where are supposed to go now?"
"I don't know baka usagi I thought you knew the way and weren't just following the pretty ladies!"
Lavi chuckled nervously, Allen's dark side was beginning to come out.
"Hehe, you caught on to what I was doing."
"I'm not stupid like you baka usagi! Don't worry all you have to do when we get back is play me a game of poker O~K~A~Y? Or maybe I should dump some of Cross's debts on to you? Your choice, pick your punishment."
Lavi trembled in fear. 'Get me out of here please I can't deal with black Allen! He's so scary!'
Suddenly a door materialized on the wall behind Lavi*. Allen blinked owlishly and the horns on his head slowly receded due to his curiosity. 'This may be a way out! It might be the way to food!' Allen now thoroughly excited at the thought of finding food was anxious to open the door.
"Lets go in Lavi!"
Allen grabbed the old handle of this strange door and it swung open revealing a short corridor with a door identical to the other on the other side. He walked in practically runny to the other side and pushed open the door. Lavi followed behind, his curiosity overpowering his fear of the previously dark Allen.
They opened this strange door to find themselves exactly where they wanted to go, (A/n: Lavi anyways, for Allen, food is always what he wants.) The entrance to Dumbledore's office. Lavi knocked on the door and the familiar but slightly muffled voice of Albus Dumbledore rang out.
"Come in!"
Lavi in the lead pushed open the door to find a very tired looking headmaster caged in behind a mountain of paperwork. Allen was worried for the man's safety, remembering how sleep deprived Komui was with his work.
"Are you okay Mr. Dumbledore?"
"Yes, quite. It's just since the new school year is about to start I have a lot of paperwork and funding requests to approve."
Albus sighed and continued the conversation,
"Now I assume you came here wondering what you are supposed to do here?"
Both nodded.
"First you will need school supplies," scrolls magically appeared in front of them, waiting to be snatched out of the air. "I will have you go with Hagrid out grounds keeper to get those supplies at Diagon Alley seeing as he has to go there anyways. But before you do that you must be hungry for breakfast!"
Allen's mouth watered at the mention of food! Lavi seeing this chuckled lightly.
"You should know that Allen here has a bottomless pit of a stomach and eats more than ten times more then the average person."
Dumbledore smiled at this. 'The house elves will adore this kid.'
"That won't be a problem. We have nearly a thousand students here at Hogwarts to feed so I'm sure your eating habits won't be a problem. I'll have a house elf guide you throughout Hogwarts. He should be here any minute..."
Just then a light knock was heard coming from behind the door. Albus got up and opened the door so the little elf could enter. He was the same elf that guided them to their bedrooms last night.
"Hello again!" Lavi said with a bright smile. Allen turned noticing the familiar elf.
"Sorry but I don't think we got your name yesterday. My name is Allen Walker and this is Lavi Bookman Jr."
"No need to be sorry Mr. Walker! My name is Dobby happy to help! Now if you would follow me to the kitchens."
The pair followed Dobby out of the headmaster's office and to the kitchens. On the way they talked about the wizarding world, Hogwarts, and asked Dobby about his life. Lavi and Allen both really liked him. He had a sense of humor, was extremely kind, and seemed like the kind of person that would do anything to help his friends, even risk his own life. Dobby thought the same of the two people he just met. 'They will definitely get along with Harry and his friends.'
The elves were elated to find out about Allen's humungous appetite and made enough food to outweigh an elephant! After Allen and Lavi had eaten they followed Dobby outside to a hut near the outskirts of a forest. They had entered only to find that the groundskeeper, Hagrid, that they were supposed to meet wasn't home and all had unanimously voting to waiting for him to come back. So they sat around on the comfy chairs and couches sharing funny stories and laughing together as they became good friends.
I like the ending of this chapter even though it's a bit sappy :)
* This is the room of requirement. Felt like I needed to explain that
I feel like I'm pacing this story too slow. If I am please tell me! I don't want to bore my readers!
Also Lavi's attention to girls is meant to be humorous only! I have decided that there will be no pairing (Sorry!) but I will put in some brotherly love between Lavi and Allen and it could be considered Laven it you want it to! (I love laven and yullen. I have hundreds of screens shots on my phone of them! It's not creepy I promise!)
