"I. Am. Going. To. Kill You."

Athena marched up to Lightning, her knife in her right hand and her eyes blazing with anger, and an emotion that he could not identify. Lightning tried to explain.

"Listen, Theena, I can explain-..." Before he could finish the sentence however, he was cut off with her arm punching Lightning in the gut, causing him to double over in pain, eyes watering.

"Ow- what the fuck, T?" Lightning shouted, before he felt the telltale cold feeling of a knife pressed against his neck, under his chin. He would have panicked, had he not been in this position many times in the past, to know from the pressure that it was Athena holding the blade.

"I swear to Merlin, Lightning," Athena said, before he heard her voice break ever so slightly. She composed herself, and continued, her voice shaking slightly, not enough for anyone to notice, except for those who really knew her very well like Lightning and Sunshine. "Do you have any fucking idea, how worried everyone was, when you didn't come back to the train? We waited for hours, since we had no goddamn way of finding you. We thought you were captured by the Deatheaters or Nightwalkers or something!"

Lightning immediately felt horrible. He knew that the others would have worried, but they wouldn't have panicked, knowing that Lightning could handle himself. However, he had momentarily forgotten how Athena would have worried, a result of her past trauma when she had gotten captured herself, years ago.

"I am so, so, sorry Theena." He said in his most sincere tone possible. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Tonks and Kingsley looking surprised, either from the fact that he was beaten up by a girl, or that he stopped sounding like a bastard. Pshh, he wasn't a heartless bastard all the time, just most of the time. Besides, Athena could beat up practically anyone. That girl was terrifying sometimes. Anyway, that didn't matter right now.

"I didn't mean to get kidnapped, there were around fifteen of aurors, or order members, I'm not really sure. But they surprised me, and Hedwig didn't get here for a few hours, so I couldn't contact you. I'm so sorry, but I'm fine... Or, I would be anyway, if you would take this knife away from my neck." He tried to joke. He got a hard punch in his left arm for his efforts, but he felt Athena moving the dagger away from his neck, and heard the soft sound of it sliding into her belt.

Athena sighed. "Why can't you seem to keep out of trouble like some normal people?"

Lightning grinned at his best friend. "I keep telling you, it wasn't my fault! Anyway, since when had I been considered a normal person?"

Athena mock-scowled at Lightning, "You, are an idiotic prat."

While Lightning and Athena were having their 'friendly exchange', Sunshine had bounded into the room, and gave Amelia a huge hug.

"Hi, Auntie Millie! It's great to see you again. Some of the wrackspurts are gone, since I last saw you."

While others were confused at what the wrackspurts were, Amelia, used to Sunshine's way of speaking, just simply nodded, and said, "It's nice to see you too, Sunshine. By the way, how many times have I told you lot not to ever call me that?" Sunshine simply grinned, and kindly ignored the statement.

Lightning glanced at the dreamy blonde girl and asked, curious, "Su, what happened to your hair? I like the purple, by the way."

Sunshine smiled dreamily. "Thank you, Lightning, that's very kind." She said in her usual airy voice, vaguely resembling a faerie. "It just got too warm for long hair. We were waiting a few hours for your message to arrive, you see. Nexi was so sweet, he helped me with the colour. I'm glad you like it, Athena thought so too." Lightning grinned. Sunshine was the only one who could call their brown-haired friend Nexi, and get away with it. The rest of them called him Nex, since he claimed that Nexi sounded like a girl's name. Funny, he didn't seem to have any problems when Sunshine called him that.

"Anyway, we are here to pick Lightning up." Said Athena, matter-of-factly. She flicked her wrist, causing her wand to slide out of her forearm holster, and into her hand, then she tapped the handcuffs, releasing his wrists, and tapped the chair, allowing him to stand up. She then accio'ed Lightning's wand and knives, causing them to fly out of a sack behind Dumbledore's chair, making the silver-bearded wizard duck, when Lightning and Athena swiftly caught them. Lightning thanked her, and replaced the knives in their rightful sheathes, which were still strapped to his left forearm, and his right calf. They turned to leave, when Dumbledore chose that moment to speak.

"You can't leave like that. Stay, and reason with me, please."

"We can leave like this, you were the one who kidnapped my friend, and you can't stop us." Athena said. "And what do you mean, reason with you, about what?"

"Young lady-" Dumbledore started, before he was cut off by Athena.

"It's Athena. Not young lady, Athena." She snapped at the long-bearded wizard.

"And my name is Sunshine." Sunshine piped in. Dumbledore looked surprised at her appearance, as if he was just taking her in.

"I apologize, Miss Athena. Miss Sunshine. I beg your pardon, but- Miss Sunshine, would your real name be Luna Lovegood, daughter of Xenophilius and Selena Lovegood?" Dumbledore apologized, and asked. Tonks looked confused as to who Dumbledore was referring to, but Kingsley looked surprised, and saddened. Selena Lovegood had been a collegue of his, an Unspeakable, and they had been good friends, Kingsley even attended her wedding with Xenophilius.

Sunshine's face darkened, unreadable, though Lightning and Athena could see a tinge of sadness at her mother's name. "I don't go by that name anymore. Not since Xenophilius Lovegood abandoned me years ago."

Dumbledore frowned. "Your father is frantic to find you, Ms Lovegood. He approached me several times to help him find you. I tried, but I could not track you down. He wants to make amends with you."

Sunshine's fingers wandered slowly towards her wand and grasped it hard.

"I told you, my name is not Luna Lovegood, or Ms. Lovegood, or whatever variation of that you can think up. I don't need Xenophilius Lovegood anymore in my life, nor do I want to make any amends with him. He is not my father, not anymore. And my real name, is Sunshine, get it right." Sunshine spoke in her coldest voice.

"Don't you think you are being too harsh?" asked Tonks, her eyes narrowed. Sunshine rolled her eyes, exasperated.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand, Nymphadora Tonks, you having grown up in a normal loving home and all that, but if you must know. When I was six, my mom died from an accident during an experiment in the Department of Mysteries. After the accident, Xenophilius got stuck in his grieving, spending days and weeks drinking, 24/7. I had to learn to take care of myself, how to cook so I didn't starve, look after the house, and I had to take care of my mother's funeral since he was unable to do it. I had no one to turn to, I had just lost my mother, and my father was away in his own little world for months. I stuck around for a year, before I had enough. I understand he was grieving, but he had a seven-year old daughter to take care of, and if he couldn't do that, then he is an unsuitable parent. So, yeah, I don't need him, and no, I'm not being too harsh." Sunshine snapped.

Dumbledore sighed. "I'm terribly sorry that you feel that way, Sunshine, but I assure you that your father is above his grief, and would like to reconnect with you. He realizes that he made a mistake, but-" Sunshine cut him off.

"Save it, Dumbledore. I don't want to hear it."

Dumbledore turned to Athena. "What about you, Athena, what about your parents? I'm sure they are frantic to find you again. What is your real name?" He asked.

"It's none of your business." Athena snapped, her brown eyes clouded.

"Don't you think families should be together, especially in this tough, troubled times?" Dumbledore asked, persistent. Lightning stepped in then. As much as he hated how Dumbledore was bothering his friends, he thought it wouldn't look too good for Athena if she ran her dagger through the old man's stomach.

"We are a family now, so leave us alone. We are doing fine. I know what you're doing, Dumbledore. You are trying to get us to help you by trying to reconciling us with our families and guilt-tripping and honour-binding us. It's not going to work. My family and I are fighting the war, without your help, and we are doing so much more than what your little birdie club has done, or can do, even with the ministry's help."

"I will be honest with you, Lightning. The order and I need as much help as we can get in this war. People are dying from Deatheater attacks, and Hogwarts may be in great danger. I am genuinely sorry for all we have done in the past, and I'd appreciate it if you could please forgive us." Something about the way Dumbledore spoke, like he expected Lightning to automatically forgive and forget everything just because he said so, really bugged him. The old man just wanted to use him, and Lightning wasn't going to stand for that. If he wanted to play that game, fine. Bring it on, Lightning could play the game as well as he could.

"Forgive me for saying this, but I think, that eight years are a bit too long of a time to wait for an apology. It's too late, and I'd appreciate it if you don't just assume that everyone's going to do what you say, just because you said so."

Dumbledore sighed, for what seemed to be for the thousandth time that day.

"What do you know of Divination, Lightning?"

Lightning just wanted Dumbledore to get to the point. "I know about the prophecy, if that's what you mean," he said. About two years ago, they had visited Hogwarts secretly to see some of their friends. Afterwards, they ran into the herd of centaurs that resided in the Forbidden Forest (What a stupid name for a forest located near a school for teenagers. If there's a word Forbidden in the title, students were going to want to enter.), and after a long story including a loud shouting match, few deadly knives, and an angry Athena, they had made friends with the centaurs, especially Mongorian and Firenze, and Lightning found out about the prophecy, and what it said.

Dumbledore looked surprised momentarily.

"I see. Well, then you would understand that the prophecy is very vague, as to whom it could refer to. Clearly, the first person the prophecy would apply to, would be you, my boy. Born as the seventh month dies... Born to those who have thrice defied him... Dark Lord will mark him as his equal... It refers to you. However, if anything should happen to you, then the prophecy would fall to one of two other boys that fits the criteria. Hayden Potter, or Neville Longbottom. Lord Voldemort is aware of this fact, and you realize the amount of danger Hayden, your brother, is in, as well as yourself, and others you associate with. Am I correct in assuming, that Mr. Longbottom, who ran away about seven years ago, is now travelling with you?"

"That information, is currently not up for sharing, Dumbledore. However, am I correct in assuming, that you would, of course wish for my friends and I to go to Hogwarts? Is that your intention?" Lightning replied.

"You would be correct, my boy. I would like to offer to you and your friends to come to Hogwarts for protection, as well as helping to assist in the war effort, if you like. Hogwarts, after all, is the safest place in Britain after Gringotts, and I daresay, surely you would prefer your friends to be out of danger?" Dumbledore agreed, his blue eyes twinkling like mad. The old manipulating codger.

"Well, Dumbledore, I am afraid, but we refuse," said Lightning, his 'bastard-smile' as Drake often called it, back on his face. "We are already doing everything to fight the war, and we don't seem to need any protection from you, or Hogwarts, since we survived without one for years."

"Besides," Athena, who had been listening quietly alongside Sunshine, who was trying to make touch her nose with her tongue and her eyes crossed (She swears she can see the Blibbering Humdingers better that way. Lightning, along with their friends, knew that Sunshine, being of a faerie descendent through her mother's family, could see much more things than normal witches or wizards could, including various small creatures like Wrackspurts, which were distant relations to faeries and were invisible to normal human eye. According to 1001 less known mystical animals, written by John Scamander, son of Newt Scamander who was a famous magizoologist, had a tendency with messing with humans and animals' brains (minds), clouding up your judgement, and your ability to think. Though, sometimes, Lightning suspected she was just messing with them and their brains... Sunshine tended to have a strange sense of humour.), added.

"According to the rumours, Hogwarts isn't as safe as it used to be, anyway, what with trolls, Voldemort-possessed teachers, a philosopher's stone, fifty feet basilisk, dementors, escaped prisoners, sabotaged tri-wizard tournaments... need I go on? I wouldn't trust a place with these kinds of 'accidents' to protect me."

"You are not really sorry," said Lightning, "and you never will be. You just want a hero, a pawn, someone who'd do all the dirty work for you and fulfil the thrice-damned prophecy. Well, guess what Dumbledore, you're not going to get one. I'll fight this war with my friends, since I have my own reasons to fight, but we are going to fight it our way, not yours." Lightning turned to leave once more, but stopped at Kingsley's voice.

"There are more people, other than you, who are fighting in this war too, Lightning. Most of these people, also have their own reasons they're fighting, whatever it is they're fighting for. Voldemort ruined so much lives, more than just you and your friends, and who's place is it, to decide who can, and who shouldn't fight? Even in the Order, we may not be doing as much as you may like, but we still are doing the best we can, given the circumstances, and in a war, every effort counts. You are letting your personal feelings get in the way of working together, and this may be costing more lives. Maybe you should think about that, Lightning. We all have our own reasons we are fighting. You aren't the only ones in this war."

Lightning was at the door, Athena and Sunshine flanking him, but he paused to consider Kingsley's words. Something from that small speech had, against his better judgement, touched his heart. A part of him, who didn't trust the authority figures and was cautious about other people, insisted that he shouldn't trust these people, who were going to hurt everyone in the end. But another part of him, the one he had been all those years ago when he first met Drake and Athena, the boy he was before he had been hardened over the years by the world's cruelty, kept arguing, but what if this is true?

Eventually, against his brain telling him, this is a very bad idea, the latter part won, and Lightning turned back around to face Kingsley.

"If you want to contact me, send a letter through Sirius. Don't expect anything, I will not promise to reply, let alone help, but I may consider it."

The others were silent, except for Kingsley and Dumbledore nodding in agreement, and Sirius, upon eye contact, flashed a small smile at him. Then, Lightning turned around for the final time, and left the office, and the building, Athena next to him, and Sunshine following the two.

A week later, life has returned to somewhat normal for Lightning, and his family. The Guardians, as they had taken to calling themselves, started by Sunshine when they were younger (Lightning had been around ten) and slowly spread throughout (She called them that because they were always watching out for each other, and always had each others' backs) were all scattered in various places around the warehouse in Liverpool.

Currently, Lightning could here Fire and Athena arguing from the eating area, about orange juice, croissants and... purple elephants? Lightning quickly gave up. Ever since the two of them met, they bickered almost every day about some stupid things like two siblings who just didn't get along. They had almost perfected it into an art, fast and furious, neither side relenting, and yet, almost enjoying it, like it was a stress reliever for both of them. In the living room-ish part of the warehouse, were Sunshine, Drake and Nev. Drake was taking a nap on the couch that Athena had transfigured from an old stuffed animal ages ago. Sunshine was drawing a moustache on his face with a random black muggle marker she had found, Nex watching on. Or rather, watching Sunshine.

Lightning turned back around to face the sky. He was standing at an open window, watching the cloudy sky, looking like it was about to rain. He was still pondering over what Kingsley had said to him a week ago.

Everyone has their own reason to fight.

Li remembered a time, years ago, when at first, it had only been him, Drake and Athena. They had been so young, at the age of seven, and eight, and yet so old. Back then, the three of them together, they hadn't seen so much things that they had now, all of them had run away from their less than desirable conditions at home. He remembered being happy, the three of them together, fighting for a better world, than the ones they had left behind. Day after day of adventure, like in the story books, the three of them together, feeling invincible. Yet, they didn't realize until later, that life, no matter what you believed, definitely wasn't a fairy tale, or a story book with an Happily ever after.

Athena had been born in a muggle family of dentists, who were deeply religious. When she first started showing signs of magic, her parents had become scared that her daughter was being possessed by a demon of some kind, and attempted everything to rid her of it. She had been in many exorcist rituals, and even practically drowned in holy water. After everything had failed, her so-called parents had abandoned her at a muggle orphanage, where she had gotten bullied and mistreated by other kids and the caretakers. The children had picked on her for her superior brain, and her looks, while the adults called her a devil-child.

Having had enough, Athena had then run away to live on the streets. Unfortunately, she was spotted by a gang of Nightwalkers, who captured her, and planned to sell her to a brothel, or something of that sort. Athena had never specified to them what she had gone through while in their capture, but after two weeks, she had somehow managed to escape, and were freezing on the streets with injuries and hunger when she had met Drake and himself. Li remembered promising her, him and Drake, that they would be a family no matter what. To protect each other at all costs, and to be a better family then the ones they left behind. It was a promise that the three of them would much sooner die, than break.

Deep in thought, it took Lightning a moment before he saw a dark shape in the sky, heading towards the safe house. Lightning tensed for a moment, before recognizing it as Hoots, Sirius's owl. As Hoots swooped down, and perched on the window, he saw two letters tied to its legs, one addressed to only him in Sirius's messy scrawl, and another addressed to himself, and all his friends currently residing in this abandoned warehouse, in a narrow loopy writing he did not recognize.

Lightning opened Sirius's letter first, to see that it read that basically, Dumbledore had wanted his godfather to deliver a letter to him and the rest of the Guardians. Sirius, being the kind, thoughtful godfather he is, had checked for any negative curses, portkeys, tracking spells, mind-influencing spells, etc already, and turned up negative. Apparently, the old goat has already told the entire Order about him, and in turn, Lily and James told Lightning's blood siblings, Hayden and Alice (his sister who had been around two when Lightning left.) about him.

'Other than that, there is no interesting news,' Lightning finished reading silently, 'except for that Voldie has ordered an attack for tomorrow night in a muggle neighbourhood, but you probably heard about that already.

Missing you, Padfoot.'

Lightning smiled at the signature, which were accompanied by a paw print, drawn with a colour-changing ink. He then picked up the next letter- the one from Dumbledore- and inwardly sighed before opening it. Lightning scanned it, noting important sentences, which were basically summarized to saying that he hopes that Lightning and his friends have consulted the matter. They would really appreciate the help of the Guardians, which would include sharing of any important information, protecting Hayden Potter, who the public still thinks is the Boy Who Lived, since only the Deatheaters and the order knows the truth- not like Lightning cared, and attend Hogwarts and its classes. Dumbledore had ended the letter on the note saying that he sincerely hopes that Lightning would accept, and to send the reply as soon as they decided.

Lightning looked up at the sky, mentally bracing himself. He then took a deep breath; letter clutched in his hand, and entered the house, prepared for the explosion that was sure to come.

AN:

Here's the next chapter! *Giant smiley face!*

This chapter seems shorter than usual, (or maybe it was the last chapter that was especially long), but I hope it cleared up some stuff for you, including a little background story on Luna and Hermione. So, we finally see Hermione kicking ass scene here, you will see a lot more of that in later chapters. I included a tiny little scene of Harry getting beat up by Hermione (scary girl *shudder*), hope you enjoyed that, and now the gang (or Guardians as they are now called), finally got the 'official' request to attend Hogwarts. And of course, all of them are going to put up a fight about it... Poor Harry. You got a glimpse of Harry's sentimental side as well; also a sneak view into his friendship with Hermione and Draco. In later chapters, you'll find out how much the trio really had to go through in their early years, and what made their friendship so strong.

As for pairings, I got a lot of supports for Harry/Hermione, as well as Draco/Hermione and Harry/Daphne. I also got a few Luna/Harry or Draco/Luna, which are interesting; I never really thought of Luna being paired up with those two, especially Draco, but I see how they could work. I also got a few other suggestions for pairings, all of which are excellent, and I still can't decide! *Grabs hair and yanks it out in frustration* I am still taking suggestions, and remember; if I choose another suggestion than yours, please don't be mad at me. I will file away the suggestions in my never-ending mental box of ideas for future pieces. *smiles*

I was reading the first chapter of my fanfiction, and I realized that I made an error in my timeline calculation. I am very sorry, and I will change that as soon as possible. I said that a year after meeting Draco, Harry found Hermione, and a few weeks after, found Luna. I would like to change it to meeting Hermione a month after meeting Draco, and finding Luna and Ron about a year and a half later. So, Harry would have been seven when he met Draco (age seven), and Hermione would have been eight. When the trio met Luna and Ron, Harry would have been eight, Draco and Hermione nine. Ron would also have been nine, and Luna would have been eight. Afterwards, the five would have met Neville. I apologize again for the confusion.

I'll shut up now and move on to the review replies.

GoldenKeeper2567- Thanks for the compliment! *blushes* I'm sorry about the confusion... The review just identified itself as a guest, and I just wrote it down in case... I love your OC name by the way. *smiles* I'm glad your excited- I think Athena might have scared most people in the room a bit, (that girl reminds me of one of my friends- scary as hell) and definitely scared Lightning at first. Sunshine may have weirded a few people out (is that even a word?), but that's pretty much how Luna acts in the books, except that she's a bit more harsh and intense here, since she had to go through so much. I love Luna, I think she has a really interesting way of looking at things, and the world around her, and I feel like she doesn't get understood as much as she could. Dumbledore is going all caring-grandfather on him for now, but there will definitely be more 'interactions' between the two later on. Glad to hear you were looking forward to this one *Big smile!*, I really hope you like it, and thanks for reviewing! From Yours Truly, Leila.

substitutingrealitywithmyown- Thanks for reviewing, and your feedback! *smiley face* I try to keep up the dialogue, since I tend to get annoyed by stories that barely has any speaking in it, I like to let the speaking tell most of the story, with a little help from the narrator. This chapter is a bit shorter than the last chapter though- do you think it's too short? If yes, how long do you think I should aim for? Here's a little more tidbit of information on Sunshine and Athena's history, the reasons for why the rest of them are on the streets, and how they met, will be introduces piece by piece in later chapters, so I'm afraid you'll have to keep reading to find out. *grins evilly and chuckles* *sorry*. I'm getting a lot of Harry/Hermione pairings, it seems to be popular *smiley face*. Neville/Daphne and Draco/Luna though... that's a new idea... I've never really seen any of those two pairings, but they sound really interesting to write. I can see it happening, if not in this story, then in a later work of mine. I'll definitely take that into account. Thanks for suggestion! *Big smiley face*. That seems to be a lot of people's attitude when it comes to Ron, just pick whoever for him. Haha, poor Ron... Thanks for the review, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and hopefully, till next time! *Smiles*

DaydreamingMagicalWorlds- Thanks for the review- I'm glad you found it hilarious, that's what I was aiming for, but I didn't know if it would be funny or not. *Smiles* Here's the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it, and please give me your feedback on it!

anotherboarduser- Thank you for the compliment! *smiley face*. Yes, Harry/Hermione seems to be a favourite for most people, I'll take that into account. I like your idea on Harry not returning to Hogwarts, and letting people suffer for their own mistakes, but Harry is too nice for that, even if he doesn't act like it. Besides, Harry does have a few friends who go to Hogwarts, and he would probably end up going for them, if not for anything else. I see where you are coming from, though.

the butterflyangel- Thank you for your review and the compliment! *smiles*. Here's another Harry/Hermione (Lightning/Athena) supporter! *cheers*. I love Harmony, and I read a lot of Harmony fanfictions, but I am still deciding on the pairing. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Sumaya50562- Thank you for your review, and the compliment! I will try my best to complete this fanfiction. It p***es me off too, when I'm reading a fanfiction, and the author stops updating after like eight chapters or so. I will stick with this fanfiction, and hopefully finish it! Please cheer me on, on my quest to finish my first piece of fanfiction ever, chapter by chapter! *WOOOOO*

LunaLovegood'sBestFriend- Yes, eventually. Right now, they are not in contact or anything with any Weasleys because of Ron. However, later when they get to Hogwarts (OOPS! Spoiler- sorry!), the Weasley twins will be on their side, especially since those two are just awesome like that! *cheers* Besides, they seem like people that Lightning would get along with. Thanks for the compliment, and here's the next chapter- hope you like it!

Joleigh13- Hmm... I love Dramione pairings also- the Slytherin Prince, and the Gryffindor Princess... That's a great suggestion too- can I call you Joleigh? If not, sorry- and yeah, Harry/Luna might work too, he did take her to the Slughorn's party in his sixth year in Canon. Neville with Daphne would definitely be interesting- do you mind if I keep those suggestions? I would love to explore them more either in this piece, or another future works or oneshots. Thanks for the suggestion and the review! *smiles*

Guest 1- Thanks for the suggestions and the review! I love those pairings!

Guest 2- Thanks for the suggestions and the compliment! I hope you enjoy this chapter too- *smiley face*

funkypunker- I'm glad you like it! Yes, a lot of people seems to like Harry/Hermione pairings. I will consider it. Thanks for the review! *smiley face*

Mobozo- Thanks for your compliments! I'm glad you like it, and that you are looking forward to reading more. Here's the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it.

LeeArt- Thanks for the suggestion XD. Like I said before, there seems to be a lot of requests for Harry/Hermione. Unfortunately, as I said in previous ANs, I am planning on Neville/Luna ship for this fanfiction, though I might take up your suggestions for future works. XD Thanks for the review!

Samuel Wheeler- Glad you enjoyed it! *smiles* Here's the next chapter- hope you like it!

Thanks again to everyone that reviewed, favourited and followed this story! Hope you all enjoy this chapter, and please let me know what you think of it. I will answer any concerns, questions, or suggestions that you have. Constructive criticisms help make me a better writer and improve this story.

Love,
