"I look like the puppy...That was only partially antiqued."
Laughter rang out around the small grove of trees currently occupied by the reincarnated SOLDIER and Turks. "Oh come on Seph it's not that bad...Don't give me that glare!" Zack was leaning up against his beloved mentor as they sat under the trees. They had been out here for about twenty minutes so far having all decided to skip class in favor of simply being with old friends and allies.
Angeal smiled seeing his best friend glaring at his pup before going back to looking at his reflecting in the water's edge. Like all of them Seph was slowly transforming back to his old self and it was quite an interesting look. Zack and himself looked like they had dipped their hands in black ink and then carded said hands through their hair leaving huge black streaks among blond and red. Sephiroth was the same only like he said it looked like someone had tried to antique him and failed horribly.
"Now this is a funny sight." Zack motioned to where Rufus and Reno was sitting practically in each others laps. It was not a very well kept secret in ShinRa that Rufus has taken one of his Turks as a lover; while most had assumed it was Tseng they were shocked to learn it was the loud mouthed Reno. While they were used to that it was who they were now that made it funny as hell.
"Draco Malfoy is George Weasley's boyfriend...Ron is going to have a chikushō fit." Cissnei started to giggle like hell from her spot next to Rude and Elena. "Understatement my dear brother..." Zack and Cissnei grinned at each other; this honestly was so weird that now most of them were actually blood related. "Zack, Reno and Cissnei...All brothers and sister. Reno and Rufus families are mortal enemies...Oh top of that Sephiroth and Rufus are mortal enemies...The Goddess has a warped sense of humor." Angeal said shaking his head; just like his pup he found this whole thing quiet amusing.
"That she does…"
"SEPHIROTH!"
Jumping slightly the group all looked over to where Sephiroth had been standing only seconds before and then over to the rippling agitated water.
"Did anyone else see that blur that wiped out the General?" Reno pushed himself up off Rufus lap and slowly moved to the water's edge. A second later Sephiroth broke the surface gasping for air and turned to glare as a head of auburn popped up a second later. "Genesis!" He snarled but it was quickly forgotten as the red head commander launched himself at his lover grabbing him tightly kissing him deeply. Instantly Sephiroth melted against the only man to ever get this close to him.
"Oh get a room you two." Tseng nearly jumped out of his skin from the voice that suddenly appeared behind and the arms that wrapped around him. Whipping his head around he growled darkly but relaxed into the hold of his own lover. "Damn it Cloud..." He snarled, but it was only half-assed at best. "Hush..." Cloud smiled sitting down behind Tseng, well would have if he was not bowled over seconds later by a hyper active puppy.
"Cloud!" Grunting as his back slammed into First Tsurugi, Cloud looked up at his long time best friend sitting on his waist looking every inch his puppy name sake. "Zack!" Laughing Zack hugged the blond tightly ruffling his hair playfully. "Been way to long spike." Laughing Cloud swatted the puppy away but stood up and pulled him right back in for a hug.
"Cloud..."
Instantly Cloud stiffened hearing that deep baritone that had haunted his nightmares for years. Pulling away Zack gently squeezed Cloud's shoulder as he was confronted once more with the man that had changed his life.
Taking a deep breath Cloud looked up into those acid silver green eyes, there was no insanity in their depth simply remorse. Before Sephiroth could open his mouth Cloud shook his head a small smile playing on his face. "I understand General...You don't need to apologize for something that happened over ten thousand years ago."
Sephiroth nodded slightly a small smile playing on his lips. "We need a rematch." Sephiroth turned and headed back to his lover. "It's disgraceful to have lost to a Chocobo...Three times..." The group all snorted and started to laugh, specially at the dumbfounded look that crossed Cloud's face.
"Yes Cloud, Sephiroth does have a sense of humor." Zack slapped his back before padding back over to his mentor and sat back down on the cold grass. "A bit on the dry side...But it's there." Moving back over to his lover Cloud sat down behind him once more wrapping his arms around him.
Sephiroth moved back over to his own lover (he would kick his ass later for the bullshit he pulled in Nibelheim when they were alone) seeing that Rufus was currently occupied with his beloved Guard Hound and the two girls were cooing over Nanaki. "Where's my father?"
Sighing Genesis marched into the trees; there was a sound of a scuffle and suddenly a figure in black leather and a red cloak was shoved out into the clearing.
Regaining his footing so he didn't go face first into the grass Vincent turned and glared at the smirking Genesis as the auburn first sauntered out into the clearing once more. Unconsciously pulling his cloak around himself Vincent looked over to his long lost son. Vincent looked at the group and then to his son and motioned towards the woods.
Understanding the silent request Sephiroth nodded and the two headed off in the Forbidden Forest. "They didn't need an audience." Angeal said running his fingers absently through his puppies hair; he didn't hold any sexual feelings for the boy simply that of a father and son.
"So how are we going to go about this, you know Dumbledore isn't going to sit back when we have suddenly started changing." Elena said her fingers absently running through Nanaki's fur. "And our families for that matter, I know they aren't our real families but…"
Tseng snorted leaning more into Cloud. "My 'mother' can go to hell for all I care. After watching her murder seven men for their money I could care less what she does. Yes my mother did murder her husbands." He knew it was the talk of those around him that it seemed all his step fathers seemed to die in mysterious circumstances. "She doesn't even know which one is my true father...So." He shrugged leaning back more into the warm hard chest. Cloud tightened his arms around his lover kissing the top of his head in what he hopped was a comforting manner.
"Damn Tseng...We're sorry yo, you go from shit family to shit family..." Reno moved over and sat next to the man he viewed as a second father.
"Seems like the Weasley's are really the only ones that ended up with a nice family."
"My father is nice, a little on the eccentric side but he has always cared for me." Elena leaned over resting on Nanaki who wrapped his fire tail around her gently. "I do miss my sister though..."
The group fell silent everyone's minds going back to all the friends and family they had lost. Feeling left out since his lover was with his father Genesis moved over to his best friend and sat down curling up against him. Smiling slightly Angeal wrapped his arm around Genesis pulling him in tight, he had his family back and they were all sane.
"Let's wait for Seph to get back before we try and figure out who we're going to go about the rest of the year."
"Well...We may not have time for that." Elena said pointing towards the castle where they could make out Ron and Hermione's forms moving towards them.
"Doesn't Weasley ever get a fucking hint?" Rufus snarled leaning in against Dark Nation who growled at the two making their way towards them. "Careful ShinRa...He's still our brother." Cissnei leveled a glare at her boss; huffing Rufus turned away lying back down against Dark Nation with Reno lying down on the other side.
"Who are they?" Cloud asked pulling First Tsurugi from his back and laid it down on the grass next to him. the sword was starting to dig into his back painfully, he might be immortal thanks to the Jenova cells, but didn't mean he didn't feel his age.
"Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Ron is Reno and Zack's younger brother...Cissnei's older. Hermione is just a Muggle born friend of theirs, both are attached to Sephiroth." Tseng scooted so he was now in Cloud's lap, more than content there. Smiling Cloud wrapped his arms around the man pulling him in close. "You're being real lovey today." Laughing softly Tseng laid his head down on Cloud's shoulder. "I feel good today...Like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
Pulling the band from his lovers hair Cloud carded his fingers through the now soft silk earning him a purr form the now much younger man.
"There you guys are, Dumbledore has been looking all over for you...Who are you?" Hermione and Ron had moved up to the group both stopping as they caught sight of Blaise sitting in the lap of a man with spiky blond hair and a massive sword laying by his side.
A single blond brow rose as Cloud regarded the two of them; there was something about the two of them that he didn't like. He didn't know what it was something about their body language was almost hostile; specially the gingers. Looking to his lover to see if it was alright he received a nod and turned back.
"My name is Cloud Strife."
"What do you want Weasley..." Rufus had sat up and was currently rubbing Dark Nations head lovingly, what he would not give to have his shot gun once more. Hearing Malfoy's drawl Ron turned his ears instantly turning red as he saw George's arms wrapped around Malfoy's waist.
"George what the hell are you doing with Malfoy?" rolling his eyes Reno pulled Rufus in tighter and laid a kiss on his cheek. "He's my boyfriend yo."
"Reno..." Came from several different directions. Reno ducked his head smiling and stood up moving away to light up a cig knowing that with all the SOLDIERs there they would kick his ass if he lit up around them.
Tseng pinched the bridge of his nose and sent a glare at a second in command. "I swear to Leviathan Reno, you are going to give me more gray hair than Sephiroth." The group all laughed and Cloud rubbed his back gently. "It's alright Tseng, I can go kick him around the grounds if you want."
"Oh fuck that Chocobo." Rufus reached up and put a hand over Reno's mouth.
"Reno, Tseng? What the hell is going on?"
"Eloquent isn't he." Genesis rolled his eyes flipping open his beloved LOVELESS and went to ignoring the Ron and Hermione, they weren't apart of them they were just normal humans. "Genesis…" Angeal chided softly earning him a snort from the auburn commander.
"I'll handle it." Rufus pushed himself up just as Sephiroth moved out of the forest Vincent in toe. He barely glanced at Ron and Hermione as he moved over to Genesis and sat down in his lap startling the older crimson commander.
"Well hello beautiful."
"Shut up Genesis..."
Laughing Genesis put his beloved book back into his jacket and wrapped his arms around his lover holding him tight.
Rufus moved so that he was standing directly in front of Ron and Hermione his blue eyes cocky and sure of himself with that arrogance he always wore. He knew who he was and he knew he was powerful even if ShinRa was long since gone.
"The information you are about to here is CLASSIFIED, you tell anyone else...I will personally make sure that my Turks ensure you never speak again."
He ignored the looks from Ron and Hermione folding his arms across his chest. "My real name is Rufus ShinRa, President of ShinRa Electric Power Company. We existed over ten thousand years ago, in a city that was lost to the ocean...I believe the people of this time call it Atlantis; we called it Midgar."
"How the hell can you be over ten thousand years old?"
"Only those three are." Rufus motioned to Cloud, Genesis and Vincent. "Oh Nanaki...Forgive me Gi." Nanaki simply nodded his head allowing Rufus to handle this.
"I can't believe that those four are over ten thousand years old." Ron said his voice taking on a dark tone as he looked at the four very young looking men and a weird lion like creature. Genesis tossed his head arrogantly causing Sephiroth to chuckle softly. "I can assure you kid, we've been alive that long…nine thousand nine hundred years until someone invented shampoo. You know how long it took to get my hair back to his luster."
This caused the entire group to burst out laughing all of them very familiar with exactly how vain Genesis was. "I'm grateful I was dead, I don't know if I could handle ten thousand years of you bitching." Sephiroth smirked ducking a swat from the Crimson Commander.
"Harry, what are you saying?"
Sighing Sephiroth reluctantly stood up from his lovers embrace and moved over to stand in front of his two 'friends'. "Those you see before you, aside from Genesis, Cloud, Vincent and Nanaki all died nearly ten thousand years ago. We were granted the chance at life once more by our Goddess, to redeem ourselves of our past sins. Over the past few months our memories have been returning along with our prior bodies."
"Is that why you have become so cold recently?" Hermione moved up so that she was standing directly in front of Harry.
"Sephiroth was always distant when we knew him; it took a great deal of time for Genesis and myself to even be considered friends to him and simply not his officers." Angeal gently rubbed his puppies head once more.
"Sephiroth? Is that your real name?" Sephiroth nodded, "SOLDIER 1st class, Sephiroth Valentine...General of the ShinRa Army."
"You're a BLOODY General?!" Ron moved up and already Sephiroth could see the jealousy starting to build in him. "What about you...Fred...George...Ginny..."
Zack looked up at his mentor before looking back to his little brother. "SOLDIER 1st class, Lieutenant Zackary Fair. Second in command of the ShinRa Army when Genesis and Angeal deserted..."
"Reno, Commander of the Turks...President ShinRa's personal security/spies/assassins. You know it yo...We did it. Kidnapping, espionage, assassination, interrogation, torture." He shrugged as if this was the most normal thing in the world. "Note why big boss man said don't talk...Tseng is about as dedicated as a Director as you can get...Right boss man?"
Tseng nodded from Cloud's lap his dark eyes sweeping over the horrified looking Ron and Hermione. "I killed my own Director on President S ShinRa's orders." In other words he had no problem taking out two children.
Ron swallowed and looked to his little sister. "Ginny?"
Glancing up Cissnei shook his head, "Cissnei of the Turks. If their eyes glow they are SOLDIER, the rest are Turks."
Ron and Hermione glanced at the group seeing other than Cloud the SOLDIER and Turks were separated.
"SOLDIER are the elite of the ShinRa Military, specially enhanced beyond super human. 1st class are the most powerful of the group...All four SOLDIER here are 1st class. Cloud is enhanced to 1st class standard but was never SOLDIER."
"Thanks for the reminder…" Cloud growled but was silence by a kiss from Tseng. "Hush."
"Stop stealing my word Tseng."
"Bite me Seph."
Everyone smiled hearing the ever familiar banter between Tseng and Sephiroth.
"So...Let me get this straight, not only are you Harry Potter, and your General Sephiroth?" Sephiroth's eyes darkened hearing the bitter jealous tone in Ron's voice. Instantly the group watched Sephiroth draw back behind the cold mask he spent his entire life building.
"Yes, he is both people. He was not give the option of choosing who he to become when he was born. I suggest child that you drop the jealousy unless you wish to undergo the same treatments and horrors that these boys have had to go through to become who they are."
Vincent's cold crimson eyes were boring into Ron's. "Tell me Ron; would you be able to pick up a sword and run it through another human being. Would you be able to take a human life, to fight wars and still hold your sense of self? If you cannot answer yes to any of those questions than you child have no grounds to judge those that sit here. Though if you continue to do so I will gladly show you what these Turks and SOLDIER have gone through to reach the position they hold."
Sephiroth stared at his father before a brilliant smile lit his face. "Dad..." Vincent turned his back on Ron and Hermione and moved back to his position against one of the trees. Cloud smiled up at his friend seeing he had already taken on his parental role.
Ron and Hermione had the most dumbfounded look on their faces. "You two better get going, don't you have class?" Rufus held no remorse for those two, they were sticking their noses in where it didn't belong.
Zack pushed himself onto his feet and moved over to Cloud and picked up his sword. "Come on Spike...I need to start building up muscles, and I want to see how good you are now."

To say that they were concerned was an understatement; a ten thousand year old power company that created super enhanced soldiers and assassins. Even in the Wizarding world where it seemed like anything and everything could happen that this was just a little to fanatical.
The two teens shifted nervously as they stood in front of Dumbledore's desk. They had originally gone to Professor McGonagall about this; she had then taken them up to Dumbledore's office where they were now standing.
"Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley. I understand that you have some worry about young Mr. Potter." Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling like mad behind his half moon spectacles, though just like them he was worried as well. What he had seen down in the Great Hall today had really set him on edge. He had never seen anyone able to summon a weapon out of the middle of air like that, not even he could do something like that. There had also been that green light that had accompanied it with a very strange energy that he did not recognize. And it scared him.
"Yes Professor, we went out to look for Harry since he didn't come to class. we found him out on the edge of the Forbidden Forest; Harry wasn't the only one...The others were out there and they were with three other men."
Dumbledore instantly perked up at this, his head lifting slightly higher as he regarded the two in front of him. "Three other men, can you describe them to me?" Hermione nodded though it was a little shaky, she wasn't really sure if she was doing the right thing here but this was Harry and she was worried that something terrible had happened to him.
"One of them was Genesis Rhapsodos, when we got there Neville had him hugged into one side with Fred on the other. They honestly looked like they were all best friends and had been for a very long time." She shifted in her seat and sent a look at Ron who still looked pissed as hell from the dressing down Vincent had given him.
"The other man said his name was Cloud Strife, he looked like he was only in his early 20's with blond spiky hair and brilliant glowing blue eyes. He and Blaise seemed to be very close."
"Close? How close Miss. Granger." McGonagall asked, it looked like she might have to speak with Severus as the boy was in his house.
"Blaise was sitting in the guys lap, Harry was sitting in that Genesis characters lap too when he came back out of the forest."
This was starting to become disturbing. "What about the third person?" At this Ron growled not liking the fact that he got put down so easily by the man. There was just something about the man that made every instinct he had start screaming to run and never look back. the man was dangerous for that he knew, his eyes were a creepy crimson that glowed.
"Harry only said his name was Vincent; there was something really off about the man like just looking at him made you want to run for your life...And Harry called him dad."
Now Dumbledore knew there was something going on; someone had to be messing with the boys minds for Harry to think another man was his father.
"What can you tell me about what was said." The two shot a look at each other Draco's threat running through their minds. They didn't know how serious they could take that threat, George had seemed pretty certain in the Turks ability to kill without thought.
"Don't worry, I will not allow anything to happen to you. What did they say?"
Swallowing hard Hermione really hoped those threats wouldn't come true. "They were saying that they were reincarnations of soldiers and something called Turks from over ten thousand years ago from a city called Midgar. Only a couple gave their new names, Harry claimed he was named Sephiroth Valentine..."
Dumbledore nodded, Sephiroth had been the name that Severus had given him when he was told about the strange memories he had taken from Harry's mind during their lesson. "How about the others?"
" George claimed to be a Turk named Reno, Blaise a Turk named Tseng, Ginny a Turk named Cissnei and Fred a soldier named Zack Fair."
"They also claimed that Genesis, Cloud, Vincent and Nanaki had been alive for ten thousand years. And that they had been granted a second chance at life to repent for their sins." Ron snorted; did they really think they were that stupid?
Dumbledore frowned hearing this; this was sounding worse and worse as the minutes went by. It looks like he would need to speak to each of them see what they said.
"Thank you Miss. Granger Mr. Weasley, you may head back to your common room."
Nodding the two headed out of the room the door shutting gently behind them.
"Albus?"
Turning his chair slightly Albus regarded Minerva with a small smile. "How do you feel about a small night cap?"
» § «
As was normal on a Friday night the three broomsticks was packed with witches and Wizards that made up the town populace. The atmosphere was light and friendly as it always was when children weren't around.
Walking into the bar Albus instantly started scanning the tables saying hello to the normal patrons smiling fondly to all those he knew on a first name bases. Living at Hogwarts for the many years he had he had grown to know the village, so when he saw a young auburn haired man dressed in a black high neck sleeveless knitted sweater with a strange leather harness around his middle he knew he found one of the men he was looking for.
Motioning for Minerva to order their drinks he moved over to the man. As he walked he took a moment to look over the young man, as that was all he was; he did not look a day over twenty five. His auburn hair was a controlled windswept that feathered around his face and ended at his shoulders; his eyes are what caught Albus attention instantly, they were a soft pale blue that seemed to glow in the dim light of the Three Broomsticks. He currently had his head bent down eyes moving slowly over the pages of a white leather bound book in crimson leather gloved hands.
As he got closer he noticed the eyes would slow; he knew someone was approaching him and watching him. 'He's very aware of his surroundings' putting on his brightest smile Albus walked up to the booth the man was sitting. "Good evening." He said cheerfully, the man slowly lifted his head shielded blue eyes locking with his own. The man was wary but not to the point of being cold as a small smile formed on the man's lips and he nodded just slightly. "Good evening, can I help you?" He had a soft tenor with a melodic vibe to it, like this person recited poetry on a daily bases.
"I simply noticed a new face here at the Broomsticks, after living here as long as I have you get to know the village and seeing a new face I believe it prudent not to come over and say hello." The man smiled a little bigger at that and nodded his head before arrogantly flicking his hair back away from his face. "Thank you, not many people here are that friendly. Please would you like to sit?" He motioned towards the seat across from him his movements as fluid as a dancers.
"Thank you, I hope you do not mind if my companion also joins us, she is ordering our drinks now."
"Not at all, my friend, your desire is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess." Smiling bright Albus knew he had his man, LOVELESS and recited perfectly and by heart.
"LOVELESS if I am not mistaken."
The man smiled even larger at this his eyes taking on a coy look to them. "You are familiar with it I presume."
"Yes, it was one of my favorites as a child. Oh where are my manners please forgive this old man it has been a long day. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts." He held out his hand which was taken in a very strong grip; much stronger than you would expect the man across from him to posses.
"Genesis Rhapsodos, American fashion model I also do some Broadway acting when a good play comes to town."
An actor, Albus would have to be careful with this one.
"American, I should have guessed from the lack of an accent, tell me Mr. Rhapsodos...What brings you to Hogsmead?"
"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess; we seek it thus and take to the sky."
Albus had to force the smile to stay on his face, Genesis had skirted around the question effortlessly with a quote from LOVELESS. Shutting his book Genesis lovingly placed it inside a long crimson leather duster that was sitting on the seat next to him.
"I must say your outfit is truly curious, I do not believe I have seen the symbol in your belt." Genesis absently ran red leather gloved fingers along the belt feeling the symbol that was etched into the leather. "It's from one of my newest plays, the leather is new so I am breaking it in so that I do not end up stiff for the actual performance."
Genesis was very intelligent; he was skirting around questions and lying so easily. If Albus didn't already know who this man was he wouldn't have known the man was lying at all.
"Ah Minerva thank you." Minerva sat down next to Albus setting his butter beer on the table. "Minerva, I would like to introduce you to Genesis Rhapsodos, Mr. Rhapsodos this is my Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration Professor and head of Gryffindor house Minerva McGonagall."
Genesis gently took her hand raising it to his lips and kissing her knuckles gently. "That is quite a title Professor, and such a beautiful name...Minerva." Minerva couldn't help but blush slightly as her hand was released. "Thank you Mr. Rhapsodos." Oh he was a charmer as well.
"When the war of the beast brings about the worlds end, the Goddess descends from the sky. Wings of light and dark spread afar; she guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting."
"That is beautiful, where is it from?" Albus frowned slightly, it would seem Genesis had almost completely won over McGonagall in just a few short words.
"LOVELESS Prologue, are you familiar with it Professor?"
He watched her shake her head taking a small sip of her own drink. "It's such a shame that such a beautiful work has been lost to the common man." Genesis turned to his watch his eyes going slightly wide. "Forgive me, my friend was expecting me back some time ago...I am afraid I stayed out much later than I intended. It was a pleasure speaking with the both of you and I wish you the best with your students." Grabbing his duster Genesis stood bowing low to them both before turning and walking away.
"Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return."
Albus watched the man leave a frown pulling his brow down. "Was that really the man we're looking for?" Minerva asked her own eyes following the Auburn hair as it left the Three Broomsticks.
"Yes, come...Lets see where our dear Mr. Rhapsodos goes." Polishing off his drink Albus stood and headed out into the street. Stopping just outside the door he blinked seeing the street was completely clear. There was no way the man could have simply vanished, the wards around Hogsmead prevented apparition just as the wards around Hogwarts did.
"Where did he go?" they hadn't been that far behind him even at a dead sprint he would still be visible especially with that scarlet duster of his.
"I don't know Minerva...Come let's look a bit."
» § «
Up on the roof two pairs of eyes watched as the two moved off down the street towards the train station.
"Not very subtle were they." Genesis whispered looking over to Vincent who stood beside him. The Turks had alerted him the minute Dumbledore and McGonagall were in heading for the Three Broomsticks; the Makoro powered earpieces the Turks used were a Goddess send.
"They were looking for you."
"Mmmm they were...It sounds like those two little busy bodies snitched." Reaching up Genesis clicked his earpiece over to a second frequency, one of them had this frequency up and running all the time since it was now connected to all the boys and girls at Hogwarts.
"Tseng are you still awake?"
"Genesis...It's 6 pm goddess you're as blond as Cloud yo."
There was laughter over the earpiece from all the others as they were now tuning in. "Reno, I swear to Gaea you call me that again I'm removing Rufus' play toy."
"Cloud, you will not touch my play-toy...You may take his balls but the dick stays."
"WHAT THE FUCK YO!!!"
"Too much information Rufus...I don't want to hear anything about Reno's dick."
Genesis rolled his eyes seeing that while they had adult minds once more they were still young teenagers, either that or Elena was just a prude...
"Now if you talked about Tseng's dick Elena would be all over that conversation."
There was Cissnei trying to stir up trouble.
"Cissnei..."
"Sorry Elena that dick is mine and mine alone..."
"As fun as this conversation is I believe that Genesis was trying to say something." Ah good old Sephiroth, always knew when to kill a fun game.
"Dumbledore just cornered me in the Three Broomsticks, it appears that he knows about me and is trying to get information from me."
"It sounds like your friends snitched on you son." Vincent said keeping hunkered down on the roof as Dumbledore and Minerva passed by once more. He leaned forward some listening to their conversation.
"Just be warned, they just passed up once more. They are talking about bringing you all in for questioning."
There were several sighs over the com. "Thank you Vincent, don't worry as long as SOLDIER does not speak; puppy I'm talking about you. Then we should have no problem as my Turks will not talk."
"Yeah whatever Tseng...Whhhhaaaaatttttt ever..."
"Puppy, you cracked in five minutes into interrogation training."
"Hey! That's only because you kept running your hand up and down my arm like some damn pervert!"
"Wait what?" That came from both Cloud and Angeal at the exact same time. "Uh…oops…"
"Genesis...Thank you for the warning...Now I am going to shut this off before one of you horn dogs starts com sex." And with that Tseng was gone.
Laughing Genesis rolled his eyes hopping down off the roof. "Hogsmead weekend needs to hurry up and get here so he can get laid…Fuck so I can get laid!"
Vincent shook his head following the crimson commander down and headed back off towards the shrieking shack his for shifting back to that of the sleek black wolf, a white snow leopard falling into step behind him.

Taking the earpiece out of his ear for a moment Sephiroth looked over to where Ron and Hermione were sitting with the other Gryffindors. Ever since their memories had started to come back they had started to separate from their normal groups and they now all sat together and no one else seemed able or willing to come close to them especially after Sephiroth's stunt in the great hall at lunch.
This honestly was fine for him, people for the past several weeks had been making comments about him cause of the prophet. Did it bug him now? Hell no, he was more than used to bull shit propaganda against him from AVALANCHE and Wutai rebels. Until someone attacked him the words would slide right off his back like the water off a ducks.
People of this world turned to easily on their chosen hero with just a few well placed words.
Rubbing his temples Sephiroth looked down at the newest copy of the Daily Prophet; his eyes taking in the newest picture.
'Dolores Umbridge, Hogwarts High Inquisitor.'
This just made their life even more difficult than it had been with just Dumbledore snooping around; now they had to add on his two 'friends' had betrayed them. At the moment he was really itching to summon Masamune once again and run them both through for this bull shit! They were putting them all in danger especially if the Slytherins gained wind of them.
Once the two had left they had begun hatching out a plan of action. They would continue at Hogwarts gaining as much Intel on Voldemort as they could. Rufus because his family was known Death Eaters he was their inside man, he would act as a spy for them since Severus could not be trusted...His loyalty was to easily questioned, he seemed to work as a double spy so it was hard to make a call on where his loyalty laid.
Genesis and Cloud would start to sneak into Hogwarts to help once more build up their strength and regain the muscle memory they had all spent years honing and perfecting. Tseng was currently out with Reno scouting for a room that they could use for the training that was enough out of the way that teachers wouldn't be alerted to the sounds of sword fighting. Though now with Umbridge being High Inquisitor that made their job that much harder. But he knew hid big brother...He knew the Turks; they almost never failed a mission.
Growling agitated at everything going on he stood balling the paper up and throwing it into the fireplace. "I'm heading to bed." He informed the others and headed up for the boys dorm.
"Harry…Wait please..."
Stopping on the bottom stair he turned his eyes as cold as the two had ever seen them. "Harry please understand...We're worried about you." Hermione tried to plead with Sephiroth.
"I do not speak with traitors..." Turning Sephiroth started back up the stairs. Feeling fingers wrapping around his wrist in a weak grip he moved on instinct. Grabbing the wrist he wrenched it around snapping the bones before he released it and put a hand on Ron's ribs and shoved him away hard enough he slammed into the wall.
Watching the ginger crumple to the ground unconscious he didn't feel any remorse. Ron was pushing his last nerves and no one was allowed to touch him unless he gave them permission. He knew Ron was just unconscious and would be hurting, he could hear the strong heart beat and see it pulsing in his neck.
Not giving anyone in the room a second glance he continued once more for his bed needing to get some sleep. He could not allow himself to feel remorse, emotions like that were a weakness that needed to be destroyed.
