The Joker Rising

A Family Reunion?

Marcus and Rosa came up to the town seeing all the villagers in shock at what they learned and saw with all the Zombies on the ground no they were free to check on each other. 

They slowly approached Hadrian who said to them "it looks like she was the Necromancer. A two for one deal."

"You got that right" Marcus said as Hadrian dropped another calling card on her that wasn't covered in blood

A wired noise was heard to their right both boys looked towards it to see Rosa tarring off an arm of one of the Zombies "gross" Marcus said and they both shooked their  head in disgust. "Remind me never to get her angry." They both laughed at Marcus's comment. It was then that they noticed the Order members left the safety of the school and were quickly approaching them.

As Dumbledore listened to the man, his eyes grew wide and his mouth opened in surprise. He thought only he knew the truth. But that was now proven to be wrong. 

The whispers started up again behind the Order members till once again it died down as the air got definitely clod and suffocating once again. Dumbledore and those there that night four years ago knew that this was the boy. 

Seeing that boy mercilessly kill Lestrange brought more shock and fear to the peoples face. Then the Zombies fell, sooner or latter he was joined by another boy his age presumably and a large Tiger snake. They were all brought out of their stupor what they heard the boys both laugh something about the snake. 

The hood came down of both boys but mask still in their face the face of a sadistic smile. Dumbledore was the first to go up to them before they left. "Excuse me, you two" he shouted, they both turned their heads in his direction piercing green eyes from the one who killed Lestrange, sent a shiver down Dumbledore's back. The snake also came up and hissed to which the boy responded. 'He's a parseltongue.' he was shocked to say the least but didn't show it to the two boys. "will you please come with me? I'd to talk to you both....privately."

The two looked at each other as if to talk but they didn't utter a word. The one who joined last shruged his shoulders and the other shook his head. 

"Alright" the one with green eyes said "we'll come and talk to you."

He hissed something to the snake who nodded its head to the boy and continued eating the arm. The two boys then advanced towards Dumbledore and the other Order members, and followed Dumbledore into Hogwarts and then to his office.  

The silence was understandably awkward with the two boys Dumbledore and the senior "council" of the Order stood. 

It was finally broken "so.. who are  you?" a man asked. The black-haired man whose gray eyes sparkled with admiration, looked like he was about to bow down before the newcomer who defeated and killed his cousin Bellatrix in the duel. If you would call it that. 

Instead of a response the Joker looked around the office. He notice several prominent members. Like the one who asked for their Identities Sirius Black, Arthur Weasley, patriarch of the Weasly family, Remus Lupin, known werewolf, Mad-eye Moody, most paranoid auror, Elphias Doge, an elderly man rumored to be as old as Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Dumbledore's right hand woman, Kingsley Shacklebolt, an accomplished auror, Severus Snape, ex-Death Eater, Edgar and Amelia Bones, a pair of powerful aurors, Frank and Alice Longbottom, also powerful aurors and finally James and Lily Potter. His suppose parents  he never meet.

Just by thinking of what happened the room chilled unnaturally. He finally replied, "You can call me Joker and he's Ace." 

"Please, we are not here to fight" Dumbledore said "Now, Mr. Joker, can you tell me what you were doing here in Hogsmeade when the Death Eaters attacked?"
