CHAPTER 12

The Infiltration

"Hey guys. I don't feel so good, when I ride on something that I cannot see or know what it is. Could you at least tell me what we are riding on, or if it is a spell!" Ron told them.

"Ron, we have told you for the tenth time, that we are riding on thestrals and yes, they are magical beings." Hermionie answered a bit annoyed.

"And what are these beings again?"

"Ron, do you never listen, when I tell you something that is important? You can't see them, when you haven't experience a death. They look like horses with wings."

"Oh, what are we riding again?"

"Ron" everyone expect for Harry, who was in thoughts and Ichigo, who found it amusing screamed.

They were already near the 'Ministry of Magic' and soon dismounted the thestrals. Ichigo thanked them and gave them their reward. When he did everyone looked at him in awe. Ichigo had formed in his hand many little spheres of pure reiatsu and gave each thestrals one of them. They ate it and looked somehow content, Ichigo smiled and waved at the end, when they left. Then the hard part of the whole infiltration came. They needed to get in. Fudge was had scared that someone would try to break in and steal some important documents that would be his downfall. So guards had been posted outside all entrances and the most were pretty good in guarding. That meant they hadn't already fallen asleep and/or drunk. They all wanted to use a fireplace, but they weren't really available. So they had to use the telephone box. Ichigo looked thoughtful, till he then quiet said:

"I can probably bring us in different way, without the guards. It is a bit dangerous, but not as dangerous as attacking to guards who were trained to defense and attack."

"How will you bring us in then, without fireplace or telephone box?" asked a bewildered Neville.

"With that" Ichigo said before snipping his fingers. The first thing the trio thought was that it looked like the one that the monsters had used. They still remembered it like it was yesterday since it was a pretty unforgettable event. The others looked blank faced at the rip in the air.

"Wicked! That is like the time with those monsters. You could do that to?" Ron asked and stated.

"It is a beautiful rip" Luna said dreamy. Ichigo really couldn't understand her. Luna had her own little world that no one could enter and he was somehow happy that he couldn't. It would be a boring character if you could read his personality like a book.

"Luna what are you talking about. This is like a rip in the fabric of time and space and that would be dangerous. But it isn't right Ichigo?"

Ichigo looked a bit surprised and answered: "I never thought that you would be so good at guessing Ginny! I thought maybe Hermionie would figure it out, but not really you. I was already speculating if you were really Rons sister. He just doesn't stop talking and you were so quiet. The only real connection was your hair color."

"What, is what you said true Ichigo! Is this a rip between time and space continuum. If that was through than let me study it a bit. I want to also know how you did it." Hermionie interjected. She was just too easily to please with what Ichigo thought little things.

"Hermionie I don't want to stop your train of thoughts, but it looks like the rip is slowly closing!" stated Harry

"Of course it's closing Harry. Do you know how hard it is to hold one open? If you want to come into the ministry of magic in one piece, you need to go now." And without a warning Ichigo had thrown them into it. Harry was the first to land, with the face first. Then Neville, Ron, Ginny and Hermionie followed and landed on him when he was about to stand up. Ichigo had landed graceful next to the pile and when he had seen them he started to laugh.

"Don't laugh Ichigo. It's your fault that we landed like this. Couldn't you have warned us before throwing us in?" snapped Ginny.

"No I couldn't. It would have taken to long and the structure became unstable. I little longer and I would have likely found you dead and in pieces. Your chat took to too long."

Their anger had lessened at that statement, but they still stared at him hatefully.

"Couldn't you have just opened another one? You don't really look exhausted."

"Yes I could have, but I want to store my energy and it didn't bring a thing. Why open another, when you still have one open?"

Hermionie wanted to retort with another argument, when she pumped into Harry that had abruptly stopped moving. He was staring at a door and then said: "That's the door of my dream." (They had apparently, while talking, stood up and walked down many corridors)

Ichigo had a bad feeling. Is gut feelings had never really betrayed him and they were starting up again. They went into the room and there were thousands of spheres laying in the regales. Ichigo knew with the first sight that no mortal should ever have them. He became tense, even thought he didn't really know why. They had looked around, but had found no clue to Sirius. They didn't know if he even was here or if this was just a trap. Then Neville screamed out to them:

"Hey Harry, I found a sphere with your name on it!" That was all Neville had needed to say, because everyone had come to him in under a second. Harry took the sphere and looked at it. The sphere started to let out a voice that seemed to want to tell him something. The others didn't really seemed to hear it, but Ichigo did and without a second thought, knocked the sphere out of Harrys hands and broke it in the progress.

"How could they. This could they! They brought this into the human world. This is unforgivable!" Ichigo screamed in his hollow voice, in the progress startling the group.

"Harry, how much did you see?" Ichigo asked in a so dark tone that the group started to shiver.

Harry stuttered at that: "Just a face, that was about to say something!"

"Good" Ichigo had seemed too had calmed himself, to the relief of the group. "If you had heard the voice, you would have sinned."

Everyone looked at him wide eyed. Ron was the first to ask:

"Why, is it a sin to look at a glass sphere? It is nothing special is it?"

"Ron at that you are mistaken. It only exist one glass sphere per person. Those glass spheres are linked with your soul and tell you your future that could occur. Those spheres are forbidden for the living and the dead, because they can change the destiny of thousands of persons with just one looking into his or her sphere. Every person can change their own destiny through different decisions. Through those rules, you don't have any problems with the dead. They are not allowed to do anything to change your life. So to look into ones future, even unintentionally, will be punished. Those spheres aren't even allowed here. They are stored in the heavens dungeon to prevent it from happening. This also means that someone stole all wizards' future spheres, maybe in the past, when it still was still not inspected if all where there."

"But if what you said is true and those where stolen long ago, how are their spheres for all of us still here?"

"When two beings have found each other and create a child, the sphere will appear next to one of the nearest storing of spheres. Those spheres try to be near their connected and near other spheres also. You could say it doesn't want to be lonely. Those spheres can only be used one time. At first they were allowed, it was hard to find the right one anyway or should I say impossible. It was after the great incident, that they were stored away somewhere, where no one would reach them. Hermionie don't even ask, it would take too long. Point is, it is forbidden and will be punished as a sin like that."

Everyone became quiet again. They had never thought that trying to see into the future was forbidden and it looked like you could say even dangerous. Then suddenly they heard footsteps coming from behind them. Ichigo turned and saw the white haired man again, that had given Fudge the bribe so that Harry would be punished.

"Good evening Harry Potter. Looks like the plan of Lord Voldemort functioned. Ichigo had already noticed the others death eaters, if they were called that, and had slowly made his move to the side. He was ready when they suddenly started to appear and hold down the group. The group could just watch when they were suddenly gripped from behind and held down. Ichigo had just in time jumped out of the reach of the death eaters and to their surprise disappeared into thin air. It almost looked like he was an illusion, but they soon dismissed that, when they saw the other kids stare at the spot, where he had disappeared. They couldn't change anything anymore ether and it wasn't like the kid could really do much harm to them.

"Mr. Potter, I will hope you will cooperate with us today. If not, then something unfortunate could happen to them, wouldn't like that would we?"

"What do you want Mr. Malfoy?" Harry spat.

"Oh, nothing special, I just want you to look into the sphere with your name under it."

"I am sorry if I have to disappoint you, but my sphere lays there shuttered into pieces." At first Lucius Malfoy looked dubious, but when he looked down he saw the broken fragments. He became pale. No one could repair broken spheres. It was impossible and now he had to undergo the punishment for failing his mission. Right at that second, they all heard a laugh. It sounded like the voice was overlapping with many others and it was sounding horrible. Even the death eater flinched at the voice and loosened their grip. The chance was seen and they took it. Soon they had freed themselves and were fighting the death eaters.

Loud crashing and shattering sounds were heard. Then they saw a child stand before them. The death eaters could nowhere be seen. The child looked around six or seven years old, but what shocked them was the eyes, the color of his skin and of his hair. The hair and the skin were white. The eyes yellow or more like gold with black around them. He grinned at them and they shuddered. It was an insane grin that let even the strongest man fall on his knees. Then the boy said in a dissonant voice:

"If ya still wana leave, I would do that now. In that direction is a door. If ya wana survive the caos then that would be the door you wana go through. Ichi and I will destroy every single sphere in here. He said I could go all out. I won miss that chance!"

They didn't even question him; they just run toward the supposed door. They wanted to survive after all and that boy had meant it serious.

Everything behind them broke down. Thousands of spheres were falling and chattering at the same time. Light, that looked like thunderbolts crashing down everywhere. The shattered pieces were laying on the floor, forgotten. The group was happy and somehow grateful when the door came into view. It was the most beautiful door that they had ever seen. It even looked inviting when it opened by itself.

They had just reached the door and jumped through it, when they noticed that they were pretty high up. They fell and almost hit the ground, when their fall was miraculous stopped by an invincible power, that still let them fall to the ground (but a shorter distant) in the end. Then they heard the loudest explosion so far, which shocked the earth around them. The laugh was heard again, but more gleefully before they saw two boys coming through the door, but more gracefully. They didn't fall, it looked more like they were floating down to the ground. Both of them looked not older than six or seven. They had already met one of them and the other looked shocking like Ichigo (Not that the white one didn't). They were holding hands, and looked like twins. One insanely smiling and the other scowling, the only thing they had different were the colorings and the expressions.

"Don't even ask. It is not the best time for that right now. We are surrounded by the enemies."

Just after one of the twins had said that, before them stood Lucius Malfoy. He smiled political at them and asked:

"Are you the boy that disappeared right before us, when we captured you the first time?"

"Sorry man but mommy said that we are not allowed to talk to trash, isn't that right Ichi?" asked the white twin.

"Yes of course brother. He should never involve ourselves with scum. Mommy said it is not good to for our learning process to involve ourselves with the likes of them, a murderer at that. He is not a good example. Not at all!" said the orange twin with a smile, which let everyone cringe.

"Why you…" and with that Lucius Malfoys' lost his careful placed mask. The twins smiled and thought 'that was too easy'.

They didn't know if it had been a good thing to live under the influence of their mommy (Ulquiorra) and how she talked to daddy (?)/ pet (?) (Grimmjow).

Ichigo hated to be in this form. Whenever they were, they started to act like kids and he just couldn't stop himself. It was so tempting to play pranks and annoy other people. They even called Ulquiorra mommy and Grimmjow daddy or pet to see their reactions. Ulquiorra always looked at them with hate whenever they were in this form and he always called them trash at times like that. They had on time even bugged him that much, that he had lost his cool and had attacked them. They just couldn't control themselves and Ichigo hated it when something happened, which was not planned. It was already hard enough to not give in when Shiro wanted to play (that meant destroy something and wounding something else). He had resigned to the fate of calling Ulquiorra mommy in this shape (even if he was good in taking care of them from time to time) and after some time Ulquiorra had just ignored it or looked angry down at them.

He was torn from his thoughts, when the death eaters attacked. Ichigo knew that the group wouldn't be able to defend themselves and Ichigo couldn't really help them, because he had attention trouble in this form. There was one time when he had fought an enemy while like this and suddenly he had concentrated on a butterfly that was near. Now he really wished for a miracle to happen. They were about to be hit, when they were shielded by a light. The older wizards had just arrived in time to protect them. Sirius smiled at them and then proceeded to say:

"You all did wonderful. Don't worry anymore. Why will take care of the rest. You need to hide so that stray attacks won't hit you."

Every nodded at that expect for Harry who said: "But I want to help!"

"Yes, but this is our fight. You need to gather your powers for You-know-who." Harry seems to pout, but finally nodded.

The battle began and then the group looked to the twins again when they heard a cry. The white twin screamed:

"Let me go Ichi. I want to fight to! It's so boring to just watch. Let me at least play a bit."

"Shiro you need to first promise me that you won't hurt our allies. Just the enemies, do you understand?"

"Of course and now let me go, if it goes on like this, the battle will be over before I even make a move."

"Okay Shiro, have fun and don't destroy the building. We are still in it."

The white twin nodded and the orange twin let him go. The second the white twin had felt the hand around is loose he had put on his insane smile, and had disappeared. The orange haired sighted, but somehow looked jealous after him. Then he went to the teens. They them, for the first real time looked at the orange haired boy. He had a scowl on, but looked quiet adorable with it. He was smaller now, but they could tell that it was Ichigo.

"Ichigo why are you so small and cute?"

"To the second one, try to say that again…" he glared at her and hissed "…and for the first one I will tell you later. It won't bring us anything to die because we were careless. Look out" Ichigo screamed the last part and pushed them out of the way, while jumping himself. They all looked to the battle when Ron asked:

"Hey has one of you seen Harry? He stood still next to us when Ichigo came, did he not?"

Everyone looked around. They soon spotted Harry. He stood next to the weird shaped stone (maybe a gate of some sort). He was fighting Lucius Malfoy. Sirius was also helping him and it looked like they were about to win. When a suspicious looking witch attacked Sirius from behind and he fell through the gate. He disappeared and Harry seemed to shatter. Ichigo gritted his teeth, when he noticed that Lucius Malfoy was taking a stance and was about to attack him, when suddenly a pillar of light surrounded him and knocked him out. Shiro, the white twin, had at the right time attacked and saved Harrys life. Ichigo gave him an approval smile and then mouthed that he would get a reward. At that the twin smiled and run away, to terrorize the last enemies. Ichigo focused at Harry again and noticed he had run away after the witch. He gritted his teeth and thought: 'I can understand Yachiru a little now; I can't really concentrate on anything. I am always distracted, but Harry will soon find out, what happens when he doesn't listen. What don't you understand, don't go anywhere in the message hide yourself.' Ichigo was really building up anger. He now knew why he always hated it, when nothing is going after plan. It would endanger his teammates.

He searched for Harrys reiatsu, that he found quickly and followed it. When Harry came in sight he was standing above the witch. He was pointing his ward at her and looked like he was about to attack her. Ichigo became even angrier. This boy was irresponsible and didn't know how to control his feelings. At least he could control them, so not to endanger the others. Ichigo knew that he wasn't the best at controlling his feelings, but at least he knew how to consider the others and what his actions could do.

Like Ichigo had already guessed, Harry was soon attacked. Now he could finally see the person named Voldemort. He really looked dead. Ichigo needed a better reading of his reiatsu to be able to locate him. So he made the dumbest move ever, in his opinion. He went toward him slowly. He had almost reached him when the dark wizard turned; he had probably noticed him and grinned at him. It wasn't like the normal grin ether, it was like Kenpachis grin. He still needed practice to reach Kenpachis level, but it was already pretty good.

"Look what we have here…" he hissed "a small boy. I wonder what he is doing here, but it really doesn't matter, he is going to die anyway." With that the man gripped Ichigo by the throat and pointed his wand toward him. Then he screamed "Avada Kedavra".

Ichigo noticed pain and it was like a pull to the soul, trying to remove it. It didn't work on Ichigo thought. Ichigos soul had merged with his body and so they couldn't be separated. Ichigo looked Voldemort into his eyes and smiled. He had gotten a good reading of Voldemorts reiatsu. It was a bit disturbing, that the man didn't really feel human, or more like whole human. It was like he had lost some of his parts. He would think about it later. First of he had noticed Voldemorts gaze. He looked confused, probably because the spell wasn't working and now Ichigo had to act. He let tears roll down his face and started to cry. It was the best weapon after all. He had learned that with Grimmjow. As soon as one of the twins played the crying kid, he lost his blood lust and was confused on what to do. He strengthened it a bit and was wondering if any was already deaf from his crying. Then he was let go and stopped crying, still sobbing a bit, to make the act look more realistic. Voldemort looked at him curious and said:

"He has withstood my spell. Interesting, we should take him with us, he may be useful."

"Yes of course lord Voldemort" said the witch behind him. She looked like she really wanted to disapprove, but it seemed she was to scared of him to do that. Ichigo noticed the familiar presence and quickly jumped out of the way. It was also just in time to dodge the attack that headed straight to Voldemort. He evaded it and attacked at the same time with another spell. The battle began.

Voldemort created an fire column that that was so big that it almost didn't fit into the corridor. Dumbledore created an ice shield that stopped the attack. It was really beautiful to watch the ice fall. The water from the foundation started to act up and soon formed a dragon, which with great speed, attacked and blocked Dumbledore. Dumbledore seemed to lose, when he suddenly helt up his want and spook a few words. Ichigo recognized them somehow at first hearing. It was a spell to take a bit of his power. It was like asking him to lend him the powers that he needed for a bit. The witch that had seen him stand up, tried to restrain him, but he, with one hand move pushed her away and knocked her out. Then he started to glow a blue light, what Voldemort didn't noticed and started to hum a tune.

"What are you doing Dumbledore? Have you finally lost your mind, or are you just acting like this, because you know you cannot defeat me?" Voldemort laughed, but suddenly Dumbledore started to glow blue, red, black and white. Then Dumbledore fired his spell. It was destructive in the least, but Voldemort had in the last second evaded and shot his own spell. It wasn't as powerful as Dumbledores, but it hit him and Dumbledore fell to his knees. Ichigo knew it wasn't really bad and it was just from a bit of shock, but Harry didn't and attacked. Ichigo slapped his face. How could the boy act sometimes so dumb and naïve. Harry had after the contact with Voldemort, fallen to his knees as well. They had fought for a bit and then Voldemort had suddenly stood behind him and touched him at the neck. Voldemort used the connection that he had with Harry to torment the boy. It looked like mist, with the face of Voldemort, had formed around Harry and the boy looked like he was in pain. Ichigo didn't interfere. If he did, than Harry would still be vulnerable to the connection and Voldemort would use it again.

Harry fought, but he gave up fighting when he saw those horrible memories of his. When he was about to give up he saw in the corner of his eyes a bit of orange and had remembered. 'You may lose, but as long as you go forward with hope and without fear your soul will never be broken.' He remembered now how Ichigo had told him that on the way to their detention. A tear rolled down his face as he finally understood the real meaning of those words. He will never break, no matter how often he loses. No one can really win every time. It is in humans' nature to make mistakes. His determination strengthened and he soon fought back with all his might, to block the memories and he finally was successful. Voldemorts control over him and just when he was about to disappear the minister Fudge came in with a bunch of reporters right on his heels. The all froze when they saw the figure before them. And out of Fudges stated shocked, while Voldemort slowly disappeared:

"He is back!"

Ichigo smiled at him and then went looking for the others to tell them the news. Harry wasn't under the influence of Voldemort anymore and the wizard world would finally do something to stop Voldemort plans. When he saw his (twin) bother run toward him, with a satisfied grin on his face he knew something good for Shiro and maybe bad for him had happened.

"What happened?" Ichigo asked. "Why does he look so satisfied?"

Moody looked toward him and stated: "He is so extremely happy because, you could say, he smashed the death eaters one by one into the ground and after the fifth or so started to sing a bloody song that scared us all have to death. After that he but on a show, from being hurt how we acted and started to cry till we all apologized. When we were on the way toward the main hallway he started to suddenly start to sing again and what he sung made us all go pale. At that he looked extremely satisfied and started to grin like this."

Ichigo looked at them blankly when he process the information and then said to all their surprises: "That's good, I already thought that he did something bad, like cutting the lips of death eaters body and then ripping out his organs. He only sung his favoirite song so there is no trouble is there?" He then went to his twin (the others wondered) and ruffled his hair

"You were a good boy weren't you? Thank you for listening and remembering our promise."
Everyone looked at him and went pale. If this was how he was a good boy, they didn't want to meet him when he was a bad one. Then the white one asked:

"Hey Ichi? Why did you come to search for us? Did something happen?"

"Yes Shiro" and with that he told the others his story. What Harry had done since he run away and what had happened. At the end of the story, everyone had started to smile and Ichigo lead them to Dumbledore and Harry. They all went back to Hogwarts. They knew something was up with Harry, but they didn't understand, why the twins were so quiet. The white one angrily glared at Harry, while the orange one said nothing but scowled harder.

When they were back, Harry started to let tears fall down his face and told them what happened to Sirius Black. Ichigo had told Ryuu, who had come toward him, to bring Nel to him. He waited when Harry suddenly stuttered:

"Siruis is dead. He fell trough that portal and disappeared."

At that everyone expect a few looked shocked and shouted: "What!"

"Harry can't it be that he was just brought somewhere else?" asked Hermionie.

"Now, I already asked Dumbledore about that. He said, that he couldn't find him with a spell and that that spell could detect anyone, who was still alive."

Everyone became quiet. If Dumbledore had said that then it must be true. They all started to look down and some even cried. The suddenly heard a voice that said:

"…and make him fell like home. I don't know how long it will take me to defeat Voldemort, but till then he needs to wait. Please take care of him and don't let him wander around too much. Tell him that it is dangerous."

"Ok Itsygo, I will take care of everything." The group had just turned around, when they saw Nel disappear into a black rip.

"Don't forget to tell Ulquiorra to come here!" The rip closed and Nel had disappeared.

They all stared at the spot where Nel had disappeared. Then Ron asked:

"What did you want her to do Ichigo?"

"Oh, I wanted her to take care of Sirius. He will be bored without company there."

"What do you mean Ichigo? Sirius hasn't sinned has he?" asked Ginny.

"No of course not, if he had sinned he would have died when he went through that portal, but since he hasn't he is now alive and near a break down in hell."

Everyone stared at him like he was insane. It was even harder to believe than it would be if he were dead. Then Moody asked:

"Why can't you bring him back again? You are the Lord of Hell aren't you?

"Yes, but through the contract, I can't go back till I finish the job and don't even asked if Nel couldn't just bring him. He would be dead when he arrived here."

Everyone nodded at that. They were still a bit dumbstruck, but a few minutes, they finally really comprehended what that meant. Sirius was alive. The smiles started to slowly started to become visible and the white twin seemed to be disappointed and said:

"Couldn't you have waited for them to start cry and really mourn, till you told them the truth? Like this it is boring."
