Allen, Lavi and Tyki: She doesn't own us. just has a very...odd...obsession over us
Last time:
Tana sighed, drawing his legs to his chest, his tail wrapping round them, and Koumi coughed, 'not that I would send you if you are unwilling Tana, you know this.' He smiled softly and said, 'alright' Tana looked at him, slight doubt but it soon went when he realised it was true. Smiling sadly he nodded, 'alright then boys, let's go back to bed, keep them covered Tana.' Nodding Tana and Lavi stood up, said goodnight and went back to their room.
The next morning Allen knocked on their door, entering when he got the all clear. He took the scene in a second, his brother red eyed, ears back slightly and asleep on Lavi's chest with Lavi stroking his hair, both in tops and shorts. Immediately he was worried, 'What's happened?' Lavi shook his head smiling, 'nah it was just a nightmare. Nothing to worry about.' Allen nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed and stroking his brother's hair to.
After they managed to get Tana up they went down to breakfast. Mrs Weasley smiled at them as they entered, 'all right my dears?' they nodded, sitting themselves down. Allen managed to get his brother to laugh as he ate through the mountain that Mrs Weasley had given him, soon asking for more. Tana picked at his food whilst watching Lavi devour his own small mountain.
After breakfast had finished, the six exorcists met Koumi and a strict looking woman in the hall. She studied each of them before smiling, 'good morning, I am Minerva McGonagall, please call me Professor McGonagall. I will be teaching you transfiguration at Hogwarts. Now shall we depart?' they nodded, following the professor out of the house. They watched in fascination as McGonagall stuck out her right hand and a bright purple bus appeared.
The journey to Diagon Alley was less then pleasant, most of them falling out of their chairs often. Thanking the driver they got off outside a small, run-down pub called the Leaky Caldron. Following the professor inside, they looked round. Allen instantly spotted the long red hair of someone he knew and groaned. Tana followed his gaze and narrowed his eye muttering.
As if hearing the two boy's the red head turned and smirked, 'hello Baka apprentice's you took your sweet time getting here,' Cross smirked, enjoying the look of fear in ones boy eyes to the one of complete disrespect and loathing from the other. He'd have to fix that. The professor nodded to the barman before leading them out to the back. Tapping a pattern on the wall, the exorcists jumped as it opened into a stone arch.
Their first stop was Ollivanders to get their wands. The exorcists gasped at the amount of shelves and boxes. Professor McGonagall walked to the counter and rang the bell on the desk. Almost immediately a small, hunched old man with large silver eyes came from round the shelving, 'ahh Professor McGonagall, a pleasure to see you again.' The professor smiled, 'and you Ollivander. I have some people who are transferring into the school and they would like to have some wands.' Ollivander turned to the teens and nodded, 'yes I can see they will be relatively tricky, you there, you can go first,' he pointed to Allen who squeaked.
After several hours of shifting through wands they came out with:
Allen- fourteen inch, white ash wood with a phoenix feather core
Tana- fifteen inches, Japanese maple wood with a threstal tail hair
Lenalee- maple wood, thirteen inches with a hippogriff feather
Lavi- fifteen inches, oak wood with a sphinx hair
Kanda- fourteen inches, bonsai wood with dragon talon
Cross- seventeen inches, Manzanita wood with dragon heartstring
And Koumi- evergreen wood, sixteen inches with a centaur hair.
Krory and Miranda both had thirteen inches, ash wood, Krory-Unicorn horn and Miranda- unicorn tail hair. They paid for their purchases, thanking Ollivander before they left to gather the rest of their items.
Their next stop was Madam Malkiss Robes for all occasions. Tana went last so he could laugh at the others first. He was stood on a stool, wearing slightly oversized robes that fell off his hands, next to a platinum blond boy who had come in just before Tana went in. This boy was tall, like Harry. He looked over, 'hello, are you just starting Hogwarts?' he smiled, but it wasn't one that reached his eyes, 'I hope you get into Slytherin. It's the best house by far'
Tana looked at him confused as the boy continued, 'you're a first year correct.' Tana's eye lit up with amusement, 'nope not a first year. I'll be in fifth year. I'm a transfer.' He chuckled at the Slytherin boy's expression of confusion before his schooled features came back, 'well then, I am Draco Malfoy. I hope you and I will be in the same house at Hogwarts.' Tana smirked, looking Malfoy up and down with a hand on his chin, 'you know you're kinda cute.' He tried not to laugh as Malfoy blanched.
'E-excuse me?' he managed to say but that was enough to set Tana off in a fit of giggles, 'heheh sorry it was too hard a temptation to miss not screwing with you. Beside I'm not single.' Tana managed to subdue his laughing fit to a huge grin just as Lavi poked his head round the screen, 'oi Neko-chan we're going to get the books. We'll be back for you in a while.' Tana grinned, 'hai hai, get mine as well will you Usagi-kun' Lavi chuckled, nodded and left.
Tana turned the grin widening as he saw the look of horror on Malfoy's face. He chuckled as he got down off the stool, robes paid for already, 'what's with that face? Don't tell me you've never interacted with someone enough to call them a nickname, albeit one that was meant to be an insult.' He smiled fondly at the memory of Kanda chasing them with Mugan around the halls of the Order, yelling those precise names out which they then took up as their own personal nicknames.
Laughing he waved, 'I'll see you at school Malfoy-kun,' as he turned and left the shop, bags in tow. He walked to the bookstore where he found the redhead, latching onto him grinning, 'hey Neko-chan. What's up?' Tana chuckled to himself as he whispered to Lavi about what occurred with Malfoy. They managed to get all of their things, soon going back to the Order headquarters.
'Man am I tired!' Tana yawned once back in the Order headquarters. Lavi chuckled, 'I bet. You musta scared the crap outta that kid in the robe shop.' Tana looked at Lavi's serious face and burst out laughing, Lavi soon joining him as Harry, Ron and Hermione poked their heads round the corner. Hermione frowned, 'what are you two laughing about? What happened?' Tana grinned as Lavi kept chuckling, 'oh some kid named Draco Malfoy started talking to me when I had my robes fitted. I didn't like him very much because he called me short so I told him I thought he looked quite fit. Let's say I liked the result' Harry and Ron had started to stifle giggles as Hermione scowled.
'You know, now he's going to be spreading rumours about you being 'queer'.' Tana frowned for a second before saying, 'honestly I don't care. He can spread the truth if he likes.' Harry and Ron stopped laughing to join Hermione in staring at Tana who just grinned back at them, 'honestly, if you can stay straight after being with Cross for even half a year then you're a miracle. I'm not even sure if Allen's figured out if he's gay yet.'
Tana looked thoughtful before Lavi nudged him and whispered in his ear. He chuckled nodding, 'I think your right Lavi, they may fight but it does seem that way doesn't it' they left the golden trio standing in the hallway looking confused as they chuckled to themselves, whispering in a language that only the two of them seemed to know. Shaking their heads the trio went back into the room they were working in.
Tana and Lavi put their bags in their room, Tana sighing as he sat on the bed, looking out of the window. He absently scratched at his bandaged head, only stopping when Lavi grabbed his wrist, 'stop that. Even though they won't bleed anymore you may unravel the bandages. You know what Yuu would do if he found out.' Tana gulped, looking away as his other hand touched his patch.
Lavi sighed, releasing Tana's wrist and sitting next to him on the bed, taking Tana's hat off and brushing strands of his hair out of the way before settling a kiss on his forehead, 'come on love, you know we will protect you no matter what, and the wards around Hogwarts will stop anyone like the Earl or the full Noah from getting in. how about you just get some sleep. I'll bring you up some food later alright?' Tana nodded, allowing Lavi to change his clothes and settle the covers round him before giving him another kiss and leaving.
Tana slowly closed his eyes, reluctant to go into the dream world that seemed to plague him nowadays.

He was back in the dark mansion, sitting on his heels as he drew a complex looking design on a bit of paper. He didn't know what they were for but he had always done them. He looked across to where his other self sat at the piano, playing a melody he had heard before but couldn't place.
His other self paused in his playing as if sensing Tana looking at him. He turned and smiled, before standing up and walking over to him. He crouched down and turned the paper round, as if he could understand the patterns that adorned the paper. He gave a satisfied nod with a little hum, 'brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Seems that the only thing left is to be able to touch the piano.'
Tana looked at him questionably, his voice coming out in no more than a whisper, 'Allen's piano?' his other self laughed and shook his head, 'no it's not Allen's piano, rightfully it's yours, you made up the score and you are the one meant for the piano. It was meant to be the thirteenths right, the one who holds all the memories, you. Not the fourteenths. There was never meant to be a fourteenth.'
Tana stared at the paper he had written on, the patterns still not making any sense to him. He looked back up, a question in his eyes. But his other self answered before him, 'the only way we can get our right back is to-'
Tana woke up with a cold sweat on his forehead, soaking through the bandages. Lavi hadn't come back as far as he could see. He drew in a choking breath, pushing himself slowly up and his hand grasped the collar round his neck. Even though it was inactive, there was no way he himself could take it off; it had to be done by the one whose blood had controlled it. Tyki's, and the only way that could happen would be if he went back to the Noah's and served the Earl. A tear ran down his cheek as he tried to push the thought and dream away.
He lay back down on the pillows, a sigh escaping his lips as he subconsciously shifted onto his stomach, his tail swishing restlessly. Three years of being whipped on his back had burnt the habit of discomfort into him. He must have drifted into a light, restless sleep because the next time he awoke was to Lavi's touch, his worried voice soothing. Tana bolted up, flinging his arms round Lavi's neck, tears freely rolling down his cheek.
'Easy, easy love. It's alright,' Lavi was saying, a hands making smooth circling motions on his back and head. Tana calmed to just hiccupping but he wouldn't be pushed back. It was only when Lavi shifted to get him into a better place did he look up, eye red rimmed, 'want to tell me about it love?' Lavi asked, pulling Tana onto his lap. Tana shook his head, clenching one hand into Lavi's shirt. They sat there, in the comfort of each other's presence as they slowly dropped off to sleep.
