As Trowa felt the floor give way from under his feet he realized what he was feeling the entire day. It was one of those days where everything went right and then one huge catastrophic incident would label the day a cataclysmic red letter day. Like the day he had made a profit at the circus and had lost all the money due to a hole in his pocket- a hole Cathy said she had stiched. Or the day in which he had finished all his paperwork early to leave the workplace early only to be stuck acting as an acting defense instructor to a bunch of cadets who it seemed to him were former wrestlers. He'd held up his own pretty well, but in any case had ended up with bruises and a limp for days. Ah, yes now this was the calamitous incident of the day. He braced himself for the landing.
Heero would have seriously believed that this was another of Duo's pranks if he had not seen Duo disappear into his office with Wufei. He was certain Wufei would not under any circumstances let Duo play pranks. And the fact that Duo always liked to see the result of his mischief. Anyway whatever this entire farce was, if any damage came to his brand new laptop in the rug sack slung over his shoulder there would be hell to pay. With these thoughts Heero mimicked Trowas's actions for breaking his fall.
12 Grimmauld place
"We have done everything according to the instructions. Tell me again why Dumbledore could not make it?" muttered Bill. "And why are there so few of us? If a man eating monster came out then we will need more members to subdue it." squeaked Myers. "Dumbledore will be here as soon as he can. He had urgent messages to give to the centaurs .Last thing we want is for them to come charging into Hogwarts. And this portal will open only at a certain interval of time. It waits for no one. Besides if this human eating monster does come out I'm grateful on all our behalves that you volunteered to take the forefront I the battle, Myers" drawled Snape.
Myers paled and a few snickers could be heard. "Oh stop being snide Snape and Myers pull yourselves together. You are a trained auror for Merlin's sake!" snapped Mrs. Weasley.
Everyone's nerves had been shot to hell in the past few days and the slightest bit of bickering got Mrs. Weasley at their throats. Silence reigned. "It is time" Lupin announced quietly. The furniture had been stacked along the walls creating an empty space in the center. Sirius, Remus, Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, Moody and Snape stood in an arc. They pointed their wands in front and together chanted the spell. Pressed to the walls the newer less experienced wizards and witches -Bill, Tonks and Myers watched in bathed breath. A blinding flash of light was immediately followed by the opening of a vortex-The Portal .
Heero and Trowa fell. Each instinctively tucked in their knees and elbows and each mentally scoffed at the idea of screaming. They were ex-gundum pilots not some green recruit. Their feet slammed into hard ground and they were momentarily blinded. They looked up to have six sets, no five sets and one eye another a blue marble staring at them.
Training and years of experience kicked in. Trowa, having landed on his feet leapt in a graceful arc and landed behind the table propped against the wall. Heero not to be outdone rolled smoothly and landed behind the settee. Unholstering their loaded guns, two each these were pointed at the bewildered wizards.
"Ok, they are not flesh eating monsters" muttered Sirius. "Let me" said Moody in a loud whisper. "We-want-to-talk-to-you" he said loudly and clearly obviously thinking the beings from the other dimension did not understand English. "Please-put-away-your-firelegs" he continued. Mr. Weasley rolled his eyes. Honestly, wizards could be so ignorant about muggle objects. "firearms" he corrected. "You-do-not-need-to-be-afraid-we-will-not-harm-you" Sirius added helpfully.
Trowa and Heero exchanged perplexed looks from the furniture. Then, hardening they slowly got up from their hiding places guns still without safety and pointed at the men-in dresses? "Where are we?" growled Heero, knowing Trowa would be content standing the whole day just pointing his gun as long as it meant not talking. He noticed the sticks each person held in his outstretched arm and wondered briefly about it before filing it away for further consideration.
"Hey! They speak English" exclaimed Tonks starting forward. "Don't Move" yelled Heero "I will shoot you. I want an explanation. NOW!" "Alright. Why don't you sit down?" said Remus. "No. Answers now. And don't move." At the last word Myers decided he had had enough. He started forward with his wand in his upraised hand.
BANG!
He was let with three inches of his nine inch wand in his hand. Heero had fired. Pandemonium broke out. Three stunning spells erupted from Snape's, Bill's and Tonk's wand. It was intercepted by Trowa who rebounded them using a mirror which had been previously hung on the wall and it's effects were received by Moody, Remus and Me. Weasley. It would have continued to disintegrate into a free for all fight if not for the arrival of Dumbledore, still in his traveling cloak and looking around disapprovingly.
Heero and Trowa having retreated behind their respective pieces of furniture, heard the sudden hush. "Will you please come out? This is a serious matter. There will be no more curses hurled at you" a loud commanding voice announced. Looking at each other for confirmation both the ex-gundum pilots stood. "fine. However we will be keeping our guns out." Heero said.
Nodding Dumbledore motioned them to follow him and led the way out of the room. Warily keeping an eye at the other persons in the room they followed. Heero's instincts screamed at him to take cove in a roomful of potential enemies, but ignoring it for the time being, he moved forward. Dumbledore led them into a room filled with chairs around I large table. Each took a seat . The members of the order of the phoenix present also filed in quietly. Myers took the furthest seat from the pair and blanched when Heero smirked at him.
"Right. I am Professor Albus Dumbledore." He looked at the two expectantly then added "you are-" leaving the sentence open for Heero and Trowa to introduce themselves. "hero Yuy" "Trowa Barton" Came the muttered replies. " Alright Misters Yuy and Barton, I'm going to tell you exactly how you got here and the circumstances." said Dumbledore.
2 hours later Dumbledore looked at the two with a strained smile. He had explained to the boys the circumstances and the ideas for their presence there. It was interrupted continuously by questions, snorts and demands for demonstrations that they were really wizards. Slightly unnerved that he could not still read the expressions on either Heero's or Trowa's blank face- he could not tell what they were thinking he continued "so now we have told you our story you can kindly tell us about your world."
Heero started about the colonies continues about the war and ended how the other gundum pilots and he had saved the world. It took five munites. "wait, are you telling us you are not magicaland we went through all that trouble to land ourselves with a bunch of kids?" asked Moody incredulously. "No, muggles cannot gain entry into this house. No matter what. My bet is that they are wizards but untrained" said Sirius.
"Actually I don't care. We fought our war and I have no wish to fight another" said Trowa quietly. Bill snorted "You mean to tell us that you fought a war. Come on, you don't seem to be more than 15" he said. "Well if you want a demonstration that I can kill people who get in my way and don't believe me care to stand up for a demonstration?" asked Heero coldly. "And we are 16" he added venomsly.
Overriding all other comments that could crop up Dumbledore interjected "We cannot ask you to fight our war. You are children and are not trained wizards. You will be sent back to your worlds in 3 days when the portal opens again. Until then you will have to stay here. You do not have a choice in this matter."
"Hn"
"…"
"You don't talk too much do you?" asked Tonks.
"Hn"
"Alright then" Mr. Weasly said cheerily "So you will stay here and then leave. Any questions or objections?" He looked at the people in the room for any signs of disagreement then nodded enthusiastically. "What about my wand?" whined Myers. "It is your own fault you did not listen to the instructions of your superiors" snappes Snape effectively shutting him up.
"We have friends who will worry for us" said Trowa picturing Quatre pulling out handfuls of hair in worry. "That cannot be helped "said lupin apologetically. "The portal will open again only in a few days and the only thing we can do is wait. We have no choice in the matter."
"Fine. We will leave in three days" Heero said firmly closing any and all discussions of the matter. "We can always explain to the others"
"you will be staying here" said Sirius. "I'll shoe you your room." He paused and added "You don't mind bunking together?" Trowa and Heero shook their heads. "Fine. Follow me"
"What a bollocks up" moaned Tonks. "We are stuck babysitting a bunch of kids."
"Somehow I get the feeling they would not appreciate being called that" said Lupin.
"Ok, We just keep them here for 2 days and on the third they will be sent back. We have no choice. Once they are sent back this will be over" said Dumbledore with authority and a touch of weariness.
"I believe it when they said they were soldiers" said Lupin quietly. "They were too intense, too well trained to react and interrogated too damn well. They might seem to be kids but keep a close eye on them." Everyone around the table nodded thoughtfully.
Reviews please. I've changed some of the facts for the story's sake like the ages. Eve wars did not take place. Polite constructive criticism is welcomed. Please don't flame if you don't like. Next chapter will be hopefully longer.
