"I'll show you, these guys helped me in the first demon war." You stood with Severus and Dumbledore getting up soon after.

"(F/n), where are we going?" Severus asked.

"Take my hands." You tell them as Severus takes your left hand and Dumbledore taking your right.

Soon, you apparated to a large abandoned cottage that was practically in the middle of nowhere. You cupped your hands to your mouth and shouted: "THE WIG WAM IS COMING OUT OF THE SUPERMARKET!"

The cottage door opened and a man seemingly around the age of 35 exited and walked up to you almost menacingly, you didn't back up.

"(F/n)." Severus said. "He doesn't look friendly to-" he was silenced by you and Dumbledore cupping your hands over his mouth.

"Walter! How are you and the boys? " you asked the blond man in front of you.

"Same ol' same ol' ZigZag and One-Eye are still fighting as always. Now, what's the matter, you only show up when you have news of a good war." He replied.

"Well, Vince showed up again and he's coming. I'm not sure when, but I know this time he won't stop trying to get me and fighting until either he's succeeded or all of his army of over 9000 are gone."

"Sounds serious, looks like it's time to gear up... Say, he has way more troops then last time. How'd you know how many he has?"

You glanced to Albus then to Severus, not meeting their eyes before replying. "I keep tabs on him."

"Pardon the interruption but, Walter. How many people do you have?" Dumbledore asked.

"Ah yes, I now have a total of......................................... 20."

"Great, so now we have a rag tag team of 23 versus an army of over 9000. That's 391:1 how are each of us going to defeat 391 demons?" Severus added.

"I never caught this ones name, (F/n). To answer your question my dark and mysterious stranger friend, we've had worse odds and won unscathed, and we're no army. We're also no rag tag team, we're classy and organized."

"Walter, I completely forgot to introduce you to Professor Severus Snape, the potions master at Hogwarts." You told him.

"A pleasure to meet ya Severus." Walter held out his hand and Severus almost didn't shake it, but with a glance from you he lifted his arm.

"Hey, Walt. May we come inside, I do wish for us to not be seen by any spies out here." You ushered your friends towards the front door as Walter was about to respond.

When you entered Severus was surprised that the house- like yours - was bigger on the inside, with high ceilings and an upstairs. It was much bigger then the small cottage appearance it had on its exterior.

"Welcome to our base, we call it The Nest." Walter called over two men who had each other in head locks- one of them wore an eyepatch and had red hair while the other wore black shades and had dark brown semi-curly locks of hair on his head.

"One-Eye! Zig Zag! My friends!" You stepped up and hugged them both at the same time, nearly squeezing the life out of them. "I haven't seen you guys since the last war!"

"Well, if you'd visit more then you wouldn't have that issue." Zig Zag said as you let go.

"A war you say? There's another one soon? Alright! Sounds like a good game!" One-Eye exclaimed.

"We need to get busy planning, how about over at the pool table?" You asked.

You, Severus, Albus, One-Eye, Walter, Zig Zag, and many more members of the lost boys gathered around the pool table and discussed the plans for defense and offense for hours until it was time for you, Albus and Severus to leave.

"Just meet at the lake when it's time, you all know how to get there." You said before apparating with Severus and Albus back to your place.

By the time you explained to Remus where you'd been, Albus had left, and Remus had joined the cause, it was getting dark and Severus was still sitting in your living room, helping himself to some soup you'd made for everyone.

"Does Remus know about you?" Severus asked as you sat beside him.

"Yes, how else would I be able to live with him this summer without being caught, besides, he's my friend." You said, smiling at Severus, nearly making him grin.

Remus had gone to sleep, and on days like this, he wouldn't wake up for anything but the daytime.

"Hey, Severus. I need to show you something." You stood up and held out your hand for Severus', he accepted it but didn't leave his bowl of soup. "You realize we'll be back for the soup, right Severus?"

He twisted his mouth to the side and looked at you almost in a childish way. ".........it's good soup........."

You chuckled. "Alright, Severus, come on." You led him through the hall and into your room, you walked over to the bed and got on it and stared at the painting above it.

Severus leaned on the edge of the bed and nearly slipped, but caught himself and the soup. "What is it, (F/n)? Is there something wrong with the painting?"

You didn't reply as you got your wand out and pointed it at the picture. "movere outta via." The spell made the picture frame move upwards revealing a locked metal door, you unlocked it by saying "Alohamora," and you entered and desended the 12 steps with Severus in tow.

"(F/n), where are we g-" he was cut off when you turned on the lights and revealed a weapon room that held a wide assortment of swords, axes, guns, and more, all of which held magical properties. In a far corner there was a table of accessories and next to it was a forge with a chest next to it.

"This is my weapon collection....and forgery. As you may able to tell I've created all of these by hand and given them special magical abilities."

Severus walked over to a sword and lifted it, expecting it to be heavy, but it was no more then 3 pounds. "But (f/n), why have you made all of these? And where have you found the time and materials, these are incredible." He asked as he set down the sword.

"Well, that's what happens when you have been to war. I also have a special dealer of the materials- this guy gets the top of the line metals- and time? I've had many years, I could have easily made hundreds more but I felt no need to."

"One other thing, why have you brought me down here? I have my wand."

"Do you think a simple Expelliarmus will get rid of a demon? Or an Expecto Petronum?"

"Well, I thought that there must've been some kind of spell to rid of them."

"No, since you're on air strike I'd recommend a gun that's lighter, but can handle more shooting." You pick up a gun that fits the description and hand it to him.

"I don't mean to sound like one of my dunderhead students, but how do you fire a gun? That's magical."

"I'll train you. I know a good place where nobody goes."
