I do not own Harry Potter or Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
This is a girl Harry story if you do not like it then do not read it. This is unbetaed but I have run it through an editing program. That said there will still be mistakes please nicely point them out to me. And I do ask for niceness as the mistakes I will overlook and not see will most likely be the same.
What follows are short stories that add to my Magical Flames and Family story. They can be read by themselves or with the story itself. I will try and have at least four or more short stories for every year at Hogwarts. Some of the stories will have to do with Hogwarts others will have to do with the mafia or Tsuna life. I welcome any ideas and plots.
Story 1 The Results of A Letter.
"Who's the letter from?" Weasley asked after an owl landed in front of me.
"No clue; I'll read it later," I said after removing and setting it aside to read after I was finished eating. Just as I was about to go back to my meal Weasley picked it up. I grabbed his wrist before he got further than lifting the letter off the table. "What are you doing?" I asked as I took the letter from him.
"Just wanted to see who it was from?" he told me I wanted to glare at him but Harry Potter was a nice guy and did not glare at people.
"What is going on here?" Someone asked that someone turned out to be Weasley's brother. The one in my year smirked at me for some odd reason.
"Their fighting over a letter rather silly if you ask me," Granger said before I could say anything.
"No one asked you, Granger. And we are not fighting I just stopped your brother from reading my mail before I could," I said as I shoved said letter into my bag.
"Ronald you know better; sorry about his behavior Potter. Ronald, I am taking five points and if I hear of you doing this to anyone again I will write to father," He said before walking off. I let go when Weasley glared at me so I was also quick to leave. I heard him start ranting as I neared the doors.
The letter turned out to be an invention to Hagrid's hut for tea after my classes were finished for the day. It was also more proof the Dumbledore wanted me to be friends with the Weasleys. As it also said to bring my friend Ron along; the more the merrier Hagrid had wrote or someone wrote for him. As it was far neater than the writing on the cake he had given me. So in between classes, I invited Neville and the Patil sisters so they could hang out without their housemates saying something.
"Harry I want to think you for the time with my sister but why are we going to the ground keepers hut?" Parvati asked.
"I was invited; he said I could bring my friends. I did not want to go alone so invited Neville. And I know you two have had a hard time getting together," I told them.
"Parvati did you invite yourself along?" Padma asked.
"Sorry I overheard the tea part and haven't had a good cup since the start of school," she said. I could tell her sister was about to scold her but I really did not care.
"It is fine Hagrid's letter said the more the merrier I just do not think he meant you guys. I mean nothing by it and will explain later when I have the letter. As it will help clear things up if you read what was wrote," I said they all gave me an odd look. But said nothing as I knocked on the cabin door. We all heard the back Fang before the door was quickly opened.
"Harry good to see you; where's Ron at and who did you bring with ye?" Hagrid asked.
"No idea we are not really friends. I haven't known him long but it seems to me he wants to be friends with The-Boy-Who-Lived and not Harry Potter," I said only to be told that I was The-Boy-Who-Lived. I said nothing to that but did introduce Neville, Padma, and Parvati. They said nothing as he served us tea and cakes that could not be eaten.
"I didn't notice the snowy I got for you is she off with a letter?" Hagrid asked.
"No, she is at home with my cousin. He is taking care of her for me as I could not bring her," I said he frowned at me.
"Why did you leave it with a muggle? Muggles don't know how to care for owls and why couldn't you bring her?" He asked.
"Dudley knows more than enough to look after the owl and I have a cat. He loves animals just as much if not more than I do," I told him.
"But cats make me sneeze," He said.
"I know that and that is why I had Percy remove any cat hair that might be on us before we came to visit," I said he said nothing after that he tried and failed at making small talk. It was the Padma that got us out of there saying we had homework to do.
"Did anyone else find it odd that Hagrid seemed obsessed with the owl he got you?" Parvati asked.
"That was what you found odd? No, what was odd was the fact the groundskeeper was sent to take a student shopping. Even odder he was sent to take you. I mean nothing by it but you are famous and would have thought a Head of house or The Headmaster would take you." Padma said.
"I thought that was odd too but thought it was rude to say so," her sister said.
"There were a lot of odd things about my shopping trip," I said at the look all three gave me. I told them all about my shopping trip and how Hagrid had only allowed me to get only what was on my list.
"But I've seen you with things that were not on the list and you have some robes for day wear," Neville said I just smiled and said I had gone back to the ally a few times with my cousin a few times to do some more shopping before school started.
"You went to the ally alone?" Neville asked as the girls said wow that they hadn't been allowed to go alone yet. They were quick to ask if Neville had been by himself as well.
"No Gran thinks if I go alone I might buy out the Herbology store," He said I laughed and said I could see him doing that.
"Is it because you were raised by muggles?" Padma asked only to be elbowed by her sister with a soft whisper and you're the one put in Ravenclaw.
"Not sure. I am really sure that most people magical or not would not allow 11-year-olds to go off by themselves. But my aunt and uncle never seemed to care what my cousin and I did. We basically raised ourselves," I said they shared an odd look. I had been told to drop hints of how I was raised and that my home life was not the best.
"So how did you get your cat she is clearly magical?" Padma asked I could tell she clearly had other questions but knew not to ask them to me directly.
"I found her a few weeks before I knew about magic. And nursed her back to health and once I knew about magic. I took her to the ally and had an animal healer look her over and get what I needed to be done to bring her to school with me," I said Kirara was a big hit with most of the house. She also had caught Weasley's rat as it had snuck into my room. Wormtail had fainted at the sight of her changing forms. I had sent him off the Rok to deal with. Ron blamed anyone with a cat; I had been the first person he blamed. Percy had flat out told his youngest brother that it was his job to make sure this pet was safe and not mine or anyone else's. And Scabbers would come back as he went off all the time in the past.
"What kind of treats does she like? I feel I should reward her as she is all the time finding Trevor for me when he gets away," Neville said.
"Fish, that reminds me; I asked Dudley about Trevor. He said your toad might be trying to find a place to sleep for the winter. But he doesn't know a lot about magical toads but plains of reading about them," I said I knew he would be getting a magical toad or two.
"You could ask the Care Professor to look at him," Padma said.
"You said your cousin liked animals does he have a lot of pets?" Parvati asked.
"Yes, he has three birds, not including the owl I gave him two tortoises, a fish tank with 10 or 15 fish and a tank that holds his toads. He has three of them and I am sure once he knows more about magical toads he will buy one or two," I said.
"That is a lot of animals his mother does not mind?" Neville asked.
"She doesn't care what we do so long as we do not bring trouble home or get in their way," I said the girls frowned at that. Once we reached the school we split up the girl headed off to find a room where they could meet up. Neville and I went to the great hall to wait for dinner to start. I ended up pushing Neville into talking to the Care Professor as he was already there.
The Professor was more than willing to look, Trevor, over he even said he would follow us up after dinner. It turned out Trevor was not a magical toad but had a few spells on him to make him seem magical. Once he was free of said spells and a quick talk with Professor Sport to borrow some dirt. We had Trevor set up nicely in a tank she had gone to collect from my house. Neville had said he would pay me for the tank but I told him to thank of it as an early Yule gift.
Side story 2 What Follows a Troll Attack
I looked up when Sally came back into the briefing room without the people she had been sent to collect.
"I thought you were going to the girl's parents?" I asked as I sat the tray of tea and snacks down.
"I did, thank you for the advice of taking an Auror along. It was easy getting there but I had need of them once there." Sally said.
"What for?" I asked.
"They were upset their daughter was attacked," she told me I was quick to tell her that as a mother I would be upset if my child had been attacked too. "I was expecting that I really was. What I did not expect was the fact they wished to remove her from our care," she told me I frowned at that.
"Were they going to take care of them herself? I think her file states they are doctors and that is a muggle healer of some sorts." I said.
"No! They wanted to place here in a muggle hospital. And that is not the worst of it," she said before I could ask what was so wrong she told me they had planned to remove her from Hogwarts. I ended up dropping the tea I had poured she was quick to vanish the mess and repair the broken cup.
"Do you know what the Auror did?" I asked it was standard practice to modify memories when a parent wanted to remove their child from Hogwarts. Why muggles wished to do something so silly.
"He made them forget we were even there and said he would return to make them think they were in a car crash on the way back from picking up the girl for the Yule holiday. He said he would send a scroll along later with all the details," she told me I nodded at that before fixing myself some tea.
"What family will you be contacting to take the girl in?" Sally asked.
"I think Diggory's are next on the list for fostering I will have to look to make sure. But before that, I will have to send word to the Governors about what happened," I told her she nodded. It was two weeks later that we woke Miss Granger she was healed enough to be awake.
"Don't try and set up just yet Miss Granger," I said before helping her drink some water.
"What happened and where am I?" She asked.
"You were involved in a minor troll attack while at school, and you are at St Mungo Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries," I told her.
"Was I hurt that badly?" she asked.
"Yes, but you are mostly healed but will be in bed for the next few weeks. You had some spinal damage," I told her she frowned and wiggled her toes.
"We took care of that first you have been asleep for two weeks," I told her.
"Weeks!" she yelled out while trying to get out of the bed.
"I said not to get out of bed, do not make me stun you, child," I told her before handing her a calming potion. It would be in effect by the time the others entered the room. They had asked me to explain everything to her. "I have some bad news to give you," I told her she looked at me and despite the calming potion she still broke down.
"What will happen to me?" she asked once she was finished crying. I patted her back and stood to let the Diggory's and her head of house in.
"Madam Prince why are you here?" the girl asked while I had been tasked with telling the girl about her parents Madam Prince said she would explain about Hogwarts. It took her a little while to tell the girl everything.
"So what will I do about my schoolwork?" she asked.
"Some assignments will be sent by owl once you are at the Diggory's house and those that cannot be sent you will make up once back at school," Madam Prince said.
"When will that be?" the girl asked.
"Not until after the Yule Holiday I am afraid," I told her.
"What? Why?" she asked.
"You have some healing to do and due to the attack and your age, your core is a little unstable. You cannot be performing magic until then," I told her she glared at me. "Do not glare at me; child I am a healer and you are a child so you will do as told," I told her.
"You will do as the healer says. I think it would be best if you all allowed my wife and I to talk with her alone to explain how fostering works," Amos Diggory said I nodded and left the room with Madam Prince.
"You will have to watch that girl when she returns Madam. It seems to me she was more upset about her school work than the death of her parents," I told her she nodded at me before saying she had seen others like her in the past. But they had come from bad homes; I would have to talk with the Auror involved in her case to have him look into her home life. If there was abuse something would have to be done to punish them and prevent them from doing so to any other children they might have.
** Note before I get reviews about how Hermione clearly was not abused. I am not saying she was, and in my story, she was not abused. The Healer just thinks it odd she does not seem to care for her parents are dead. There is a reason for her reaction to her parents' death. Her reaction has a part to do with all the healing potions she is on and the fact I am going to give her mental health issues she will have to deal with. I am still trying to get all the fact of said issues together and double checking them to make sure they are correct. Before stated what that issue is. It will come up in the side story for year 2.**
Side story 3 Just Who is his Magical Guardian?
Part 1 Neville asks.
"Gran is there a way to find out whom a person's Magical Guardian is?" I asked once we were home.
"I am sure you have a valued reason for asked such a question. However before I answer it I want you to tell me why you have asked it," she said. I sighed before telling her what had happened so far over the year. "I see thank you for telling me this. I will look into this for you and your friends. Is there anything else I should know?" she asked.
"Yes," I took a breath before telling her that the Malfoy heir, Bones heir, and the Patil twins would be asking their parents or guardians to look into this as well.
"I can see why you would interact with the young ladies but why would you interact with that boy?" she asked.
"Draco is very different than the Malfoy heir we have interacted with in the past," I told her she nodded at that before telling me to go unpack. I had just reached the stairs when she called out to me. I turned to see what she wanted.
"Make sure none of you are hurt with this friendship," she told me.
"Draco think his father will not mind him having to deal with me and the others so long as he is friends with The-Boy-Who-Lived," I told her she nodded at that than flooed out to the Ministry. I blinked at that I knew she had said she would take care of it but to go so soon and not to have an elf watch over me. I nodded to myself before going up to my room to unpack what I had brought home with me. While it was clear no one but the elves had been in here to dust and I was happy with that. I was not happy with the state I had left my room. So I set to cleaning it up with a little help from the elves. I jumped when someone cleared their throat "Gran you scared the stuffing out of me," I said making her smile.
"Thank you for taking care of your room without me telling you to. I cannot tell you what I have found as I will return tomorrow to find out more information. You may join me if you wish or stay here at home," Gran said.
"Would you allow me to go to the ally if an elf were to come along?" I asked she asked me why I wished to go but did not say I could go. She might turn me down once she knew I planned to get my own wand.
"I would like to pick up gifts for my friends and see the wand maker," I told her.
"Why do you see the wand maker you father's wand works for you does it not," she said.
"No it doesn't Gran; I wish it did I want to see the wand maker to see about getting a matching wand," I said I could tell she wasn't pleased.
"I will go with you early and allow you to stay in the ally. Once we are done with Ollivander I will head to the Ministry to finish up my inquiry. I do not see the need for an elf but once finished I want you to call Mispy to bring you home," she told me I thanked her before asking to be dismissed for bed as I wished to get an early start. She waved me off without a word, I really did not know what to say myself. While she hadn't outright agreed to allow me to go alone. But I could stay there by myself and I might get a wand.
"Neville before we go I wish you to know I am displeased about having to get you a wand now. Not because I wanted you to use your father's wand but the fact you never wrote to me about the trouble you are having with it," She said.
"I do not understand I thought you wanted me to use his wand," I said.
"I did when I thought it matched to you. The reports I was given said you matched well with it before school and I did not see a reason to allow you to try other family wands or take you for a matching one." She told me I blinked as I was really confused by her statement.
"Gran, what reports? Uncle Algie just gave me dad's wand said I was to use it and that it was good enough for him it should work for me," I told her she glared and said she would be having words with that man before telling me to follow her.

Part 2 Patil Sister ask
"We will be taking the car home; girls. Once there I would like a report of your year so far," Father said I looked at my sister and nodded she was quick to return said nod.
"Father before we return home we think there is something you should know," I said.
"What is it Padma?" He asked.
"Not here in the car," I told him he looked at me once we were sure no one could overhear what we had to tell father.
"Harry Potter told us and our friends that he has never met with Dumbledore. And the first time he saw the man in person was at the Welcoming feast," I said.
"The boy could be lying," Father said.
"In the short time we have known him, we have come to notice he dislike liars. We have noticed he might talk around a question but he never outright lies," I said.
"We would like you to find out whom his guardian is," Parvati said.
"Why does it matter to you two?" Father asked.
"Harry is our friend and if he is being neglected by his Magical Guardian than something should be done," I said.
"And if the boy wasn't your friend?" he asked.
"Something still should be done and if you do not then I am sure our friends' parents and guardians will do so," Parvati said.
"Oh whom else will be looking into this?" he asked.
"Neville Longbottom plans to tell his Grandmother. Susan Bones will be telling her aunt and Draco Malfoy will be speaking to both his parents. His father is one of the school governors and his mother is related to the Potters in some way," I said.
"So are the Longbottoms; girls. But I will look into this I think it best if we spend the holiday in London. I will send word to your mothers they may wish to join us along with your brothers," he said.
Part 3 Malfoy
"Father I know you wished for me to keep you up to date on my friendship with Potter. But there were some things I kept out of my letters," I said.
"Please tell me what you left out and the reason for doing so," he said.
"The main reason is due to the fact Snape has this unreasonable hate of Harry and very few know we are friends. We all agreed to keep our friendship a secret," I said.
"I will ask more about this friendship later but Snape is your Professor and Head of House shouldn't you respect him?" Father asked I knew this was a test.
"You have raised me to give the correct respect to a position and a Professor. But to make sure the person holding said jobs earned my respect," I told him he smiled at me. He said that was true before telling to go on.
"I think it best if you watch my memories of Snape's interaction with Harry. I do not think you will understand fully without them, there are also other memories of incidents that happened in the common room," I said he looked at me oddly but stood and gathered the pensieve. It did not take him long to remove the memories and place them inside.
"Father, before you go inside this, is not the main reason I wanted to talk you about," I said.
"Oh, just what was it you wanted to talk about?" he asked I took a breath before speaking.
"At best Dumbledore has been lying about being Harry's Magical guardian and at worst he has been neglecting his duties as his Magical guardian," I said father paled at that as I knew he would.
"Draco saying anything along those lines" " I understand Father, but Potter himself told me he had never seen Dumbledore before we started Hogwarts," I said I knew it was rude to interrupt him but he had to understand something was very wrong.
"I will look into this very quietly hopeful we can do something for the boy he is family after all. And even if he wasn't it is my job as a governor to make sure the children of the school are well cared for went, not in school. Go see your mother she has missed you. Tell her to start dinner without me as this will take some time," He told me I nodded at him.
"One more thing the Longbottom heir, the Patil daughters and Heir Bones also plan to speak to their families about this," I said before leaving his office. It did not take me long to find mother she was not pleased when I told her father would not be joining us. Mother was not pleased that father would not be joining us for dinner.
"Mother I do not mind that father will be late or even miss dinner with us. What he is tending to now will help a good friend of mine. Mother father told me we were related to Harry Potter. Just how is that and if the boy had a magical family why was he sent to muggles that do not care for him?" I asked. She sighed before looking pulling me into a quick hug then order dinner to be set out in the family room.
"It would be easier to explain with the help of the family tree nearby," she told me I nodded and followed after her. After mother had explained just how we were related to potter by blood and marriage.
"I wonder if he knows?" I found myself asking Mother told me he might not but said it would take time to tell him. And if I did he might not believe me so I should hint for him to get his own family tapestry made at Gringotts for a fee. While it would be a good idea and I knew the muggles he lived with would let him go alone.
"I will write to him about it over the break and see if he is free to meet up. Would you or father be willing to go with us? They will need blood to make the tapestry and he would not know the importations of blood and the reason to keep track of whom takes it and for what reasons," I said.
"I am sure we both will be able to go, there might be other question the boy has after learning of his family.

Part 4 Susan
"You have been quite. Has Hogwarts gotten that boring?" Auntie asked after she came into my room. I had been putting this off as I did not really know how to start. But she already knew about the Troll attack so she must know what was going on at the school or at least some of what was happening. I sat up in bed as she took a seat next to my desk.
"I am sure you know what has happened at school well most of it. I am not sure who is sending you reports but I am sure you are getting them. What I am not sure about is when you started getting them before or after the events with the troll." I said.
"A little of both but after Halloween, I made sure to get more reports more often," she told me I nodded at that.
"I do not need to talk to as my aunt but as the Head of The Department of Law Enforcement," I told her, she frowned at that.
"I see, we best take this to my office I have supplies there that I might need," she told me it did not take me long to explain everything to her and by the time I was done I could tell she was not pleased.
"It helps I will not be the only one looking into this. Go to bed I will start on this tonight hopefully I will have something done before the year is out," I said.
"Why would it take so long?" I asked.
"Normal it wouldn't but and I really shouldn't tell you this Dumbledore has a lot of power and I do not want him finding out I am looking into him," I said. I got very little sleep that night as I spent most of the night going over the reports I had on Potter from the years so far. Something wasn't adding up but I could not place just what was wrong.
"Susan you can floo over to Hannah's if you want today. I will send word if you need to stay the night as I might not be back until late." I said once she came down for breakfast.
"I was going to ask if I could do that; I have a feeling you that you would busy. Aunty, I think I should tell you that the Draco we have to meet in the past is very different than the Draco I have come to at Hogwarts," she said.
"So you are telling me that the Lord Malfoy I have meet might be very different than Lucius Malfoy," I said she just nodded before going back to her meal.
