==============================================================

The beginning of the school year had started out normally, even though Voldemort was still wreaking havoc, Dumbledore assured all the students that "extra security measures" would be here soon. The rumors of what this might be went from charmed barbed wire to centaurs to Muggle demons brought up from hell with a deal made to the devil that as soon as Voldemort was dead they could have him to do what they wished(i.e. torture, mutilate) for all eternity.

It was nothing new that Harry, Ron and Hermione would be called to the Headmasters office on Saturdays but this time when they got there something was different. Instead of Remus being there with the Headmaster there were four extra chairs, one occupied by Snape and the other by Draco Malfoy. His normal smirk plastered on what would be an extremely handsome face.

"Lemon drop? No? Oh, well I trust you all got here safely?" Dumbledore began in his normal fashion, this question was mostly directed at Remus who was really the only one who had to travel, but still everyone nodded. "Good good, now I am sure you are all curious as to why there are two extra chairs?" Nods again. "Well I have some guests here that I would like you all to meet personally. They and their fellow Warriors will be protecting us."

No one spoke as two tall women, one in heeled boots, the other in gladiator sandals walked in. The one to the right of Dumbledore had long black hair and brought purple eyes, she wore the heeled boots with skinny jeans tucked in, a tunic as her top with belt with a sword hanging off it on her hips. The one to his left was equally beautiful as the first, wild blonde hair and cobalt blue eyes. She wore a top of red fabric tied in the back simply covering her breasts; she too wore skinny jeans and a belt with a sword hanging off her hips. They both wore a silver chain with similar charms; the difference being the purple eyed girl had two charms while the blue eyed girl had one.

"Jordan!" was suddenly heard as the normally calm and collected Draco Malfoy jumped up to hug the girl, then out of nowhere kissed her full on the lips. He surveyed her before muttering quietly against her shoulder, "I can't believe it..."

She simply smiled back at him her arms wrapped loosely around his shoulders, then they stood there face to face, in each others’ arms and staring into each others’ eyes. It felt almost so intimate that Snape, Hermione and Dumbledore all looked away. Harry and Ron were still gaping at the women and their beauty.

Dumbledore cleared his throat, breaking the loving gaze between the two. He motioned to Draco's seat and he shrugged at the girl, Jordan, before taking his seat again.

"Well," Dumbledore chuckled, "I believe that Mr. Malfoy already introduced Jordan but I will again anyway. This is Jordan Treot and this is her fellow Warrior, Saoshann Onga." Both nodded and smiled slightly before letting the Headmaster continue. "They are part of our new Security Force and will be working closely with all of you in order to get you ready for the final battle. I'm sure they can explain this better then I. How about we put all our chairs in a circle?"

Chairs began squeaking against floorboards and after Dumbledore had joined the circle they were all sitting quiet close to one another Saoshann stood up.

"I suppose I should begin before Jordan and Draco lose all control and start kissing again. As your Headmaster said we are Warriors, we have traditions and magic just like you, but our primary reason is to help good triumph over evil and we have found something that makes everyone strong. And that is true love." As Saoshann spoke she would make small movements with her hands, almost like she was painting her words for them, her voice was as beautiful as she. "Now you will notice that I have two charms on my necklace. My true love would receive the second charm and a matching necklace at the moment of our first kiss. I would be connected to him or her and always know if they needed me or were in danger...in which case they would need me-anyway. It’s a similar thing for wizards and witches. True love makes your magic stronger so when Jordan and Draco aren't attached to each other by the mouth," She turned and Draco had an arm around Jordan's shoulder and was playing with her hair tickling her nose while she tried to bite him causing a small smile to form on his lips. "Or off in their own little world...will be helping you to find your true loves. Three of you already are familiar with your true loves. One of you needs to find her. Our job is to get you with your true loves and have them share with you their magic before the final battle. They will be kept in a safe space until you can return their magic to them. Any questions?"

After a few minutes of shock Ron finally raised his hand, "Who...err-Who are the ones that have met our true loves?"

"That we can tell you," Jordan spoke as she swatted Draco's hand away. Her voice sounded as if she was singing every syllable, it was pleasant and relaxing at the same time. "Harry Potter to Ginerva Weasley, Severus Snape to Hermione Granger. We simply need to work on Ronald." She smiled but everyone mouth dropped except Saoshann.

For about five minutes you could have heard a pin drop.

"Jordan, my dear, there must be some mistake. With all due respect Severus is a teacher and much older than Hermione." Dumbledore said, the normal twinkle lost from his eye.

"No. I am correct. I always am on these matters. Saoshann agrees. Their souls call for one another. Just as mine calls for Draco when we are apart. Besides, I am much, much older than Draco-centuries older and yet he is my true love."

"Yes but you are an Amazon Warrior. That is normal for your people. A student and a Professor's love would not be accepted here. Even with the war they would have to deal with the Ministry." Draco said trying to reason with her.

"You think that we do not realize this? We have figured out ways for them to court and get to know each other with no one but the people in this room knowing. There will be something different with the outcome of their love, since both of them will need to be on the battle field. But that will have to wait until they have gotten to know each other more. Trust us, we've never been wrong." Jordan said while holding Draco's hand. Hermione had her eyes going from the Headmaster to the two Warriors to her supposed "True love" who was in complete shock.

A thump was heard.

Hermione had fainted onto the floor.
