Chapter FOUR
Ever since Harry Potter's first visit to the Headmaster's office, no other sneak outs had been reported.
Itachi sorted through the last bits of the report to the Hokage, then sealed it so that only the blond could open it.
Iroha would be coming tomorrow, and he would hand it to him then. He glanced to the side to see Sakura lying on the couch, reading some book. She looked up and caught his gaze. She grinned upside down, then turned back to her book. Itachi sighed, tempted to remind her about posture.
Lessons progressed as normal. Judging from Hermione's reaction, Harry Potter had made a great improvement in the course of Potions.
Itachi was sure it was related to what he had done on their first class.
However, he didn't think that this was something to do with the coming war, and placed this thought to the side.
Itachi also remembered to keep Sakura's warning on Draco in mind. Staying in the Slytherin common room was enough to pick up that the Malfoy was acting weirdly. Those who hung around him often mentioned it a few times.
Neji and Shikamaru had reported what Hermione and Ron had told them of the relationship between their client and their target. As precaution, Itachi and his team had done their fair share of research on those involved. However, living in a house that also acted like the HQ of one side, it was obvious that any questions they asked about the 'light side' would be biased.
Itachi had known that Voldemort was dangerous. Dangerous in a way that drew other in.
The moment Neji had handed in his report regarding their client, he had ordered Sakura to see if she could find anything else. It wouldn't be hard, seeing as the whole of the Wizarding world feared 'He-who-must-not-be-named'.
Having been under Kakashi's lead for sometime, he knew the masked man's quote off by heart.
'Those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash.'
If Voldemort was revealed to be an actual danger to him and his team, client or not, Itachi would be responsible for making final decisions and keeping his team alive.
But this was also a mission. They had been hired, and they were to carry out the orders given to them to the fullest extent of their power.
All four members of Team Riki received invitation to Professor Slughorn's parties. They split it so that two of them went each time. This made it easier for all of them, for Gryffindor had Quidditch training on Saturday.
Shikamaru and Sakura, then Itachi and Neji the next.
It was easy to charm the teacher too. All four of them had the polite, formal upbringing of a clan, and they expressed this confidence in a way that they knew would draw people in.
They also kept Hermione, who had been invited as well, company. She told them that Harry was using Quidditch as an excuse to not come. While that was a good reason, connections were important, and Itachi wasn't sure if he approved of this completely.
During the next holiday, Narcissa had written all four of them notes, giving them permission to go to Hogsmeade. Itachi had immediately decided that two of them would go to keep an eye on their target, while the other two stayed.
They split so that each group had a Byakugan, and seeing that Sakura's use of her dojutsu changed her eye color, she and Shikamaru were to stay behind, where there was a less chance that someone would see her using it.
"Keep an eye on Draco. He seems to be staying behind as well." Itachi ordered.
When he received two nods from Shikamaru and Sakura, he turned to follow Neji. The two nodded at Filch, who was the one checking off the names. He jabbed at them with his Secrecy Sensor before he let them pass.
Neji sent his two teammates a nod, before following Itachi through the bitter wind towards their destination.
It wasn't hard to start a conversation with the 'Golden Trio'. They simply used their 'new student' card, and got them talking about Hogsmeade.
The three of them led the two of Team Riki towards a store names 'Honeydukes', and they all staggered towards it.
While Itachi and Neji didn't feel the cold at all, despite being dressed only in the robes they usually wore, everyone else seemed to be dying in the harsh wind.
"I heard it snows often in Japan." Hermione had said.
Neither of them gave the knowledge that it never snowed in Konoha a second thought.
"Thank god." Ron let out a sigh. The smell of toffee wafted towards them. "Let's stay here all afternoon."
"Harry, m'boy!"
"Oh no." Harry muttered. All of them turned to see Professor Slughorn making his way towards them.
"Harry, you've already missed three of my little suppers!" He poked him in the chest. "That won't do, I'm determined to have you." He smiled at Hermione, then at the two shinobi. "You love them, don't you?"
"Yes, they're very-" Hermione was cut off.
"Why don't you come along?" Slughorn asked Harry.
"Well, I have Quidditch practice, Professor." Harry said.
"But Neji here, and his friend, Shikamaru, seem to make it fine. They're in your team as well, are they not?"
Harry shot Neji a look, having not known that that was the reason one of them were always missing.
"Well, I certainly expect you to win your first match after all the, hard work!" Slughorn exclaimed. "But a little recreation won't hurt you. How about Monday night? You can't possibly want to practice in this weather..."
"I can't, Professor. I've got...um...an appointment with Professor Dumbledore that evening."
"Unlucky again!" Slughorn cried. "Ah, well . . . you can't evade me forever, Harry!"
He then turned to Itachi and Neji. "I will be expecting you two, yes?"
Itachi nodded politely. "Of course, professor. It is an honor to be invited every time."
Slughorn beamed. "It's no problem, m'boy. Speaking of which, I don't see Shikamaru and Sakura?"
"Shikamaru slept through a lesson or two, and h needs to catch up." Neji cut in smoothly. "Sakura offered to stay with him."
"Ah, yes." Slughorn chuckled. "Well, I guess I'll see you around!"
With a regal wave, he waddled out of the shop.
"I can't believe you've wriggled out of another one." Hermione sighed and shook her head. "They're not that bad, you know...They're even quite fun sometimes..." She caught sight of Ron'e expression, and quickly changed the subject.
The five of them made their way out of the store, and were headed to another when they came across a man with a suitcase.
"Mundungus!" Harry called when he recognized him.
The man jumped, dropped his suitcase, and it's contents scattered onto the ground. The man got onto his knees, and proceeded to pack the things on the floor into his suitcase.
"Are you selling this stuff?" Harry asked.
"Oh, well, gotta scrape a living,." Mundungus said.
"Hang on." Ron said, picking a goblet off the ground. "This looks familiar —"
"Thank you!" Mundungus snatched it out of Ron's hands and stuffed it into his suitcase. "Well, I'll see you all-OUCH!"
Harry pinned the man against the wall of the pub by his throat. He pulled out his wand with his free hand.
"Harry!" Hermione called out.
"You took that from Sirius's house." Harry snapped. "That had the Black family crest on it."
"I-no-what-?" Mundungus spluttered.
Itachi and Neji got ready to step in,
"What did you do? Go back the night he died and strip the place?" Harry continued.
"I-no-"
"Give it to me!"
"Harry, you can't!" Hermione cried.
There was a bang and Harry abruptly let go of the man. Gasping and spluttering, Mundungus seized his fallen case, and with a 'CRACK', he was gone.
Neji's Byakugan flare to life. Even then, he could sense that the man was long gone, the traces of the spell he had used also vanishing. He subtly shook his head to let Itachi know. "Incoming." He added with a whisper.
Harry swore at the top of his voice. "COME BACK, YOU THIEVING-!"
"There's no point, Harry." A woman with mousy hair stepped out of the shadows. "Mundungus will probably be in London by now. There's no point in yelling."
"He's nicked Sirius's stuff! Nicked it!"
"Yes, but still." The woman didn't seem surprised. "You should get out of the cold." She shot the two shinobi a look before ushering them towards Three Broomsticks.
The moment he was inside, Harry burst out. "He was nicking Sirius's stuff!"
"I know, Harry, but please don't shout, people are staring," Hermione whispered. "Go and sit down. I'll get you a drink."
Harry was still fuming when Hermione returned to their table a few minutes later holding five bottles of butterbeer.
"Can't the Order control Mundungus?" Harry demanded. "Can't they at least stop him stealing everything that's not fixed down when he's at headquarters?"
"Shh!" Hermione hissed, looking around to make sure nobody was listening. A couple of warlocks were sitting close by, staring at Harry with great interest. Blaise was lolling against a pillar not far away. "Harry, I'd be annoyed too, I know it's your things he's stealing-"
Harry gagged on his butterbeer, while Itachi and Neji shared confused looks.
"Yeah, it's my stuff!" Harry said. "No wonder he wasn't pleased to see me! I'm going to tell Dumbledore what's going on, he's the only one who scares Mundungus."
"Good idea," Hermione whispered. "Ron, what are you staring at?"
Ron paused, then quickly turned back towards them, looking away from the bar-maid he had been looking at.
"I thought you said the stuff Mundungus was selling belonged to the 'Black' family?" Neji asked.
"Uh...yeah?" Hermione said.
"But Harry is now the owner...?"
"Yeah...oh!" Hermione smiled. "Well, Sirius Black, he was previous owner, wrote in his will that Harry will inherit it." She explained. "Harry is his nephew." She added. She waited for Harry to finish his bottle, then said, "Shall we call it a day and go back to school, then?"
They all nodded. It had not been a fun trip and the weather was getting worse the longer they stayed. They wrapped themselves in their cloaks, then followed Katie Bell and her friend out of the pub and back up the High Street.
Neji and Itachi were long aware of the argument Katie and her friend were having, but it took harry and his friends longer to realize. Harry looked up just as Katie exclaimed, "It's nothing to do with you, Leanne!"
They rounded a corner in the lane, just in time to see Leanne grab a hold of the package Katie was holding. Katie tried to yank it back and it fell to the ground.
Katie rose into the sky, gracefully, as if being levitated. Itachi and Neji instantly realized that their previous thoughts were correct. There was something wrong. The girl's hair was whipped around her by the fierce wind, and yet, her eyes were closed and her face was empty of expression.
Everyone froze.
Suddenly, Katie let out a scream. Her eyes flew open, but she didn't seem to be looking at anything. Leanne started to scream too and seized Katie's ankles, trying to tug her back to the ground. Neji and Itachi were instantly by her side, and they caught the girl when she fell. Katie kept screaming and struggling, unable to recognize any of them.
Harry looked around rapidly. "I'm going for help!" He darted off.
"What do we do?" Leanne asked frantically. "What do we do."
"Neji?" Itachi asked.
"Curse." Neji agreed. "An energy that's not hers is circling within her. It's disrupting her chakra...magic...whatever."
Ron and Hermione looked at them curiously, but didn't say anything at the moment.
"Do we knock her out?" Neji asked.
Leanne looked at him in horror. "What? Why-"
"She will attract attention." Itachi interrupted. "The person who cursed her may be around."
"Someone's coming." Neji said. "Will Harry."
They heard a shout. "Get back!" They recognized Hagrid. "Lemme see her!"
"Something's happened to her!" Leanne sobbed. "I don't know what-"
Hagrid stared at Katie for a second, then without a word, bent down, scooped her into his arms, and ran off toward the castle with her. Within seconds, Katie's piercing screams had died away and the only sound was the roar of the wind.
Hermione hurried over to Katie's wailing friend and put an arm around her. "It's Leanne, isn't it?"
The girl nodded.
"Did it just happen all of a sudden, or-?"
"It was when that package tore." Leanne pointed at the now sodden brown-paper package on the ground, which had split open to reveal a greenish glow. Ron bent down, his hand out-stretched, but Neji stopped him.
"Don't touch it." He crouched down. The necklace was visible, peeking out from beneath the brown wrapping.
"I've seen that before." Harry gasped. "It was on display in Borgin and Burkes ages ago. The label said it was cursed. Katie must have touched it." He looked up at Leanne. "Where did Katie get hold of this?"
"Well, that's why we were arguing. She came back from the bathroom in the Three Broomsticks holding it. She said it was a surprise for somebody at Hogwarts and she had to deliver it. She looked all funny when she said it... I bet she'd been Imperiused and I didn't realize!"
"She didn't say who'd given it to her?" Harry asked.
"No...she wouldn't tell me...I said she was being stupid and not to take it up to school, but she just wouldn't listen and...and then I tried to grab it from her...and ...and..." Leanne let out a wail of despair.
"We'd better get up to school." Hermione said. She helped the girl to her feet. "Well go see how she is."
Itachi used his scarf and gently picked out the necklace. He ignored the shocked gasps of Harry and Ron. "We'll need to show this to Madam Pomfrey." he said.
"You recognize it, don't you?" Neji asked.
Itachi nodded. They had all seen the necklace Draco had bought during their time at Diagon Alley.
Once Itachi and Neji were gone, Sakura and Shikamaru turned and headed back into school.
"Stay back, he said, but what are we supposed to do?" Shikamaru asked. He yawned.
"Keep an eye on Draco Malfoy." Sakura said. "Nothing much, I guess. We just want eyes on both sides."
Shikamaru sighed, but he straightened.
"Draco said he had detention today." Sakura told him. "With Professor McGonagall."
"Can you see the office from the library?" Shikamaru asked.
"It is within my range." Sakura confirmed.
The two of them spent the day in the library, pretending to study. They had picked a table not too far in that is was suspicious, but close enough to a shelf that the shadow were cast in a way that Sakura could hide her Byakugan. Shikamaru helped by sitting closer to the door, to hide her immediate form with his slightly bigger frame.
After a while, Draco's chakra signature moved out of the office. Sakura relayed this quietly to Shikamaru. He had done nothing suspicious.
"It could be a cover." Shikamaru said. "Maybe he's set something so that it happens while he's in detention. He'll have an alibi that way."
Sakura nodded in agreement. She tapped the cover of the textbook she was carrying. Shikamaru patiently waited for her to gather her thoughts.
"Hogsmeade, then." She said. "Itachi and Neji'll be fine."
Shikamaru had come to the same conclusion, and he nodded.
Itachi and Neji walked at the back of the group as they made their way up the road. Harry was quiet, thinking deeply.
"Malfoy knows about the necklace." He finally said. "I saw him looking at it in Borgin and Burkes, four years ago. This was what he was buying when we followed him."
Itachi and Neji shared a very quick glance.
"I don't know, Harry." Ron said Hesitantly. "Lots of people go to Borgin and Burkes. Also, that girl said Katie got it in the girl's bathroom?"
"She said she came back with it from the bathroom. That doesn't mean she got it there."
"McGonagall!" Ron said suddenly.
Sure enough, the woman was hurrying down the corridor, towards them. "Hagrid tells me that you six saw what happened to Katie Bell. To my office at once, please." She glanced at Neji. "What's that you're holding?"
"It's the thing she touched." Harry said.
Professor McGonagall looked alarmed. She chased away Filch, then pointed at the scarf wrapped necklace. "Take this necklace to Professor Snape. Be sure not to touch it!"
The six of them followed the professor upstairs. Professor McGonagall closed the door and swept around her desk to face them. "Well? What happened?" Her tone was sharp.
Leanne just about managed to get her story out before she finally broke down and nothing she said was inaudible. Professor McGonagall sent her off to the Hospital Wing. Once she had left, she turned to face the five of them.
"What happened after Katie touched the necklace?"
"She rose into the air." Harry blurted out. "And she began to scream, then collapsed." He hesitated, then added. "Professor, can I see Professor Dumbledore?"
"The headmaster is away at the moment." Professor McGonagall said, looking surprised.
"Away?" Harry repeated.
"Yes." Professor McGonagall said tartly. "Anything you have to say about this can be said to me."
For a second, Harry hesitates, but he opened his mouth. "I think Draco Malfoy gave Katie that necklace, Professor."
There was a shocked pause, before Professor McGonagall spoke up. "That is a very serious accusation, Potter. Do you have any proof?"
"No." Harry said. "But..." He then told her about following Malfoy to Borgin and Burkes and the conversation they had overheard.
During that time, Itachi and Neji were having a conversation of their own.
"Draco separated from us for a while." Itachi murmured. "You were keeping an eye on him?"
Neji hummed in agreement. "He did go into the store, and he did talk to the shop owner."
"And the necklace?"
"It had enough...energy for me to see. It was still in that store."
"But it is likely that it was him."
"Yes."
The two of them turned back to their target and the others gathered in the room. Itachi's face was slightly shadowed, and Neji understood this. This decision was something only Itachi, as team leader, could make. The rest of them would follow his orders.
"Malfoy took something to Borgin and Burkes for repair?" Professor McGonagall was asking.
"He just asked Borgin how to fix something, but he didn't have it with him. The point is that he bought something, and I think it was that necklace-"
"You saw him leave with a similar package?"
"No, he told Borgin to keep it in the shop for him..." He turned to look at the shinobi. "Wait you guys were there with him, but you weren't at the shop. What were you doing."
"Draco said you would like to wander around for a while." Itachi said. "We kept his mother company."
"He didn't say anything about Borgin and Burkes?" Harry pressed.
"If it does help, we have no clue what this 'Borgin and Burkes' is." Neji cut in, already knowing the decision Itachi had made.
"You were with Mr Malfoy during this time?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Not exactly, Professor. The Malfoys are housing us at the moment, and Mrs Malfoy just took us to shop for school supplies with her son. We weren't with him when he went to this shop." Itachi said.
"Hang on, harry." Hermione spoke up. "Borgin asked if he wanted to take it with his, and Malfoy said no-"
"Because he didn't want to touch it!" Harry said angrily.
"What he said was, "How would I look carrying that down the street?'? Hermione said.
"Well, he would look like a prat carrying a necklace." Ron interjected.
"Ron..." Hermione sighed. "It would be all wrapped up. That way, he wouldn't have to touch it, and it's quite easy to hide inside a cloak." She pause. "Whatever he was talking about, it was probably noisy or bulky. And I asked about it later, remember. Borgin told me the price, nothing about it being sold or..."
"Well, you were very obvious. Of course he wouldn't tell you. Anyways, Malfoy could have sent off for it-"
"That's enough." Professor McGonagall cut in. "Potter, I appreciate you telling me this, but we cannot blame Mr. Malfoy purely because he visited the shop. There are hundreds of people who have been there. In any case, we have stringent security measures in place this year. I believe that necklace couldn't possibly have entered this school without out knowledge."
"But-"
"And what is more, Mr. Malfoy was not in Hogsmeade today."
Harry gaped at her.
"Guess you were right to keep Shikamaru and Sakura back." Neji murmured. "Have you sent it?"
Itachi nodded.
Sakura cooed at the crow perched on the window, a carefully placed genjutsu hiding the scroll tied to its back. She took it, making sure to keep it hidden before she sent the bird away.
Spells and barriers may keep things from entering, but summons called from within the walls should have no problem. They didn't know if the spells affected chakra anyways.
"So?" Shikamaru asked.
Sakura passed him the scroll. "Read it. I'll keep lookout."
Shikamaru didn't bother to point out that they would be able to sense anyone that was close enough to catch them without her Byakugan.
However, he also understood her paranoia.
Usually, clients were ordinary people that hired them for protection or accompaniment, or something along those lines.
This time, however their client was someone who seemed like he could hold his own. People like that didn't see the need to share everything. Team Riki was expected to function with what they had been given, for that was all their client thought was necessary in order for them to do the job they had been given.
Their usual clients were people who depended on the shinobi they hired, and would be willing to compromise in order to have them cooperate. They would be too caught up in their own problems that they wouldn't really care as long as they did their job.
However, Shikamaru could tell that Voldemort wouldn't hesitate to throw them to the side if something happened.
Shikamaru abruptly stood up. He scanned over the scroll one more time to make sure he had gotten the contents in his head, before pulsing his chakra through it. The scroll crumbled, before it turned to dust and was gone in a few seconds.
"Come on. We're done here."
Sakura obediently followed him out of the library.
On the way, Shikamaru told Sakura the contents of the scroll. She then led them the other way, towards Professor McGonagall's office. They bumped into him, and the Malfoy looked up, a sharp rebuke on his tongue, only for it die away when he saw who they were.
He looked at them uncomfortably, probably unsure of what to say.
"Did something happen?" Sakura asked. "You're sweating." It was true. The blond was sweating buckets, and his breathing was a little too rapid to be normal.
"No...nothing...I'm fine..." Draco stepped around them and began walking away. However, Sakura grabbed his arm as he brushed past, and yanked him down towards her. Draco's yelp of protest died away when Sakura began to whisper rapidly into his ear.
"We're mercenaries, Dragon."
Shikamaru sighed. "Sakura..." He began warningly.
Sakura raised her hand to stop him. It was so unlike the usual Sakura, that Shikamaru bit back what he had been about to say. With the way she usually acted, it was difficult to remember that Sakura was the head of a clan, and that she had won that position through proving herself. Sakura smiled at him before turning back to Draco.
"There is no rule saying we only accept one job at a time. The type of jobs we don't accept can be counted on one hand." Her tone darkened. "We protect the private information of clients, even if they do clash." Sakura leaned back a little and smiled gently. "Remember, we are nothing like the friends you have known for years. We don't have that kind of relationship. You wouldn't regret dragging us in. With us, you won't have to keep up the facade to convince anyone. Don't try and work everything out yourself. It never works."
Draco stood there, frozen for a while, before he quickly slipped his arm from her grasp and ran off.
"Are you sure that was okay?" Shikamaru asked.
Sakura shrugged. "Something's weird here. You know it too."
Shikamaru simply sighed.
By Monday, the news of Katie Bell had traveled throughout the school.
Later that day, Neji confirmed Harry's departure to Dumbledore's office.
The next day, Harry didn't say anything to either of his friends, and Neji and Shikamaru had to split with him when they headed to Herbology.
Katie Bell's absence affected their Quidditch too, and though Harry put off finding a replacement, it became obvious that if he didn't do something, it would clash with their upcoming match against Slytherin.
The replacement for Katie was soon chosen, and Dean joined in their next practice session.
Shikamaru spent the first half an hour hovering high above the practice area, staring up at the clouds.
His two fellow chasers, Ginny, who was Ron's sister, and Dean, spent awhile trying to make him come down, before Neji just flew up to them, glanced at their annoyed expressions, then fixed his grip on his bat.
"Peakes!" He called over his shoulder.
There was a loud 'THWACK' as Jimmy Peakes, the other beater on their team, hit the bludger towards him. Neji swung his bat, hitting the bludger up towards Shikamaru at an amazing speed.
Ginny let out a gasp, and the commotion made everyone turn up towards him.
Neji didn't seem to share any of the panic his teammates were feeling. Shikamaru made a sudden move to the left, avoiding the bludger, which flew up a little more before flying back down.
Neji hit it back to Jimmy without batting an eye.
"Can't you see I'm trying to catch up on my sleep?" Shikamaru called down, eyes half closed.
"No." Neji replied curtly. "Ginevra and Dean are waiting, Nara."
Shikamaru signed. "Yes yes."
"Er...thanks, I guess." Ginny said.
Neji shrugged. "If he falls asleep, just kick him off his broom." He turned around and flew back down to join his fellow Beater.
On the final practice before the match on Saturday, both Neji and Shikamaru noticed something different with Ron and Harry. It had begun during the first practice without Katie Bell, and it been doing on for a while. However it seemed like it had hit the peak.
Harry dismissed the team, before taking Ron to the side. The two talked for a while, before they left.
Neji didn't know what to think.
War was brewing, and though no one seemed to realize it yet, some seemed to feel the darkness looming over them.
Slytherin booed every Gryffindor that entered the hall for breakfast on the morning of the match. Like every morning, Team Riki entered the hall together.
"We shall see you later, at the match." Itachi said.
Neji nodded firmly. They split off and headed towards their tables.
Neji and Shikamaru ate breakfast, then joined the rest of their team on the walk towards the stadium.
"We're lucky the weather's good, huh?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Ron muttered, not looking up.
"The conditions look ideal." Ginny said. "Also, guess what? The Slytherin Chaser, Vaisey, took a bludger to the head yesterday during practice, and he can't play. Also, Malfoy's gone off sick too!"
"What?" Harry whirled around to face him. "He's sick? What's wrong with him?"
"No idea." Ginny said with a smile. "I don't know who's playing instead, but it's good for us."
Shikamaru spoke up, looking slightly pale. "Hang on. Malfoy plays Seeker, yes?"
Harry nodded.
"And he is off, so he isn't playing..." Shikamaru shot Neji a look. "That means..."
"It's Sakura." Neji confirmed slowly. "Oh..."
"I think Itachi is Keeper." Shikamaru continued. "I just realized. I have to get the bludggy thing past him, right?"
"Quaffle." Neji corrected. "The bludger is what the Beaters take care of. But yes. Good luck with that."
"Is something wrong?" Harry asked.
"No, nothing is wrong. Absolutely nothing is wrong." Shikamaru muttered. "I just remembered I left Sakura with the...letter back home yesterday."
Neji smirked, remembering that Sakura and Shikamaru had been put in charge of writing their second report back to the Hokage. "Sucks for you."
"You know how competitive they can get." Shikamaru groaned.
Neji had to agree with that.
