Tiana Vivian Potter, fresh from her first year at Hogwarts, and stopping Quirrel from getting that damn stone was annoyed. Why the hell hadn't McGonagall listened when she and Hermione had tried to do the right thing and go to the teachers? This would be why Ana didn't trust authority, because they never listened to kids. Adults tell kids to go to them with problems and yet they never listen to them when they do go to them. Hermione had agreed to keep Hedwig, which was a good thing as it turned out, the dark haired girl was just glad that she had a trunk that was feather light and self-shrinking, this way her stupid aunt and uncle couldn't take her stuff from her.
Tiana had been shuffled off to get a passport and clothes that looked semi-decent because her Uncle had gotten a job transfer and his new boss was a family man. The job was in the Shibuya Ward of Tokyo. The soon to be twelve year old was quick to slip off to Gringotts asking about translation charms that could teach her the language at the same time. Griphook had come through for her so now the soon to be transplanted Brit wouldn't feel like an idiot. She also got books on Japanese Culture and Laws, both Mundane and Magical. She has Griphook send through the proper paperwork for her to be in Japan as a Magical as well.
Tiana was no idiot, even though she had to act like one because of her stupid cousin. She was so tired of having to hold back on her intelligence because of him, though she did so at Hogwarts so she would be underestimated. Her best friend, one Hermione Granger had agreed when Tiana had outlined why she was doing this. If it hadn't been for Draco Malfoy Tiana would have been a Slytherin, she just couldn't stand him.
Once they've reached their destination and Tiana was forced into a damned pink contraption of a dress by her aunt, the emerald eyed girl finds a boy around her age that looked just as uncomfortable as she did. He had chocolate hair and eyes as well. What had garnered her attention was that he had taken one look at Dudley and she had seen horror mixed with disgust, "Sukunakutomo anata wa kare to issho ni sunde inai( At least you don't live with him). Watashi wa kare no itokoda( I'm his cousin). Potter Tiana. "
She sees recognition of her name flicker through his eyes, " Kanbara Takuya, Hon'yaku no miryoku( Translation charm)? "
" Yes, though don't tell them that. "
Takuya blinks, " Naze(Why)? "
" They hate anything abnormal. "
Takuya's eyes widen, understanding her meaning well enough, the Dursleys hated magic. Which meant they hated her as well. Takuya winces briefly when Dudley makes his way over to them, only staying long enough to introduce himself to Takuya, then he goes to find some food, or maybe to find some innocent soul to bully, " Does he even know what exercise is? "
Tiana sighs, " Well, if he and the others are chasing me down then yes, they rarely catch me though. "
" Chasing you down? "
" Tiana Hunting, I'm Dudders favorite punching bag, when he can catch me, that is. "
Takuya frowns, " That's not right. "
" Unfortunately there's not a bloody thing I can do about that right now. How long are we kids expected to be here anyhow? "
" The entire time. " Takuya answers her.
Tiana's eyes widen in horror at this, " I have to be in this damn pink dress that bloody long. I'll bloody well kill my Aunt Petunia. "
Takuya sighs, " I know the feeling all too well, Tiana-san. "
Tiana rolls her eyes, " First, call me Ana, second, no honorifics, dammit. I get enough of that with my GWL status, thank you very much. "
Takuya grins, " You and I are going to get along just fine, Ana. "
Tiana looks at him, "Dono yōna subete wa, watashi wa kono imaimashī yūshoku ni tsuite shiru hitsuyō ga aru nodesu ka( What all do I need to know about this damn dinner)?
Takuya chuckles at this and quickly fills her in using his native tongue so he could fully warn her. Tiana was quick to charm his parents as well in English and she chose her words so very carefully that Vernon never caught on to what she was really saying.
After the dinner Kanbara Hiroaki was quick to invite Tiana over for the next day, giving her directions. A pointed look at her relatives ensures that she would be showing up. Once back home Hiroaki curses, " How the hell does she stand living with them? "
" She doesn't, she spoke to me using a translation charm provided by Goblins. "
" You sure about that, Takuya? "
" They hate all things magic, Dad, she told me that shortly after we met. Why do you think she didn't speak Japanese around them? " Takuya retorts, out of the suit he'd been forced into, " Oh, no more dragging Ana and I into your damn business dinners. I think Ana would be better off being allowed to have some actual fun that she can remember. "
The next morning Tiana slips into a pair of jean shorts and a blue t-shirt before slipping her shoes on. Vernon roughly grabs her arm, " Don't you dare ruin this with any of your funny business, girl. "
" If I show up late or bruised they will be suspicious, Uncle Vernon. " Tiana states firmly and gasps when she feels her Humerus bone snap.
The young witch in training was quick to race out the door, ignoring the pain in her arm, she'd gotten good at that anyhow. Bloody Dumbledore for sending her back to live with them. She covers the distance easily and remembers to slip her shoes off after Shinya, Takuya's little brother, lets her in. She was very good at hiding her injuries, she'd always had to be. However, she didn't count on the sharp eyes of Kanbara Yuriko. The Kanbara matriarch frowns and was quick to cast the diagnostic spell, she had been a Healer before she retired to raise her children, but she did keep her license current.
What she found has her swearing under her breath hotly, causing all three Kanbara males to back away from her slowly, " Tiana, why are you still living with such abhorrent people? "
" Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. I didn't even know anything about magic until I got my letter. " Tiana says.
" What about accidental magic? " Takuya asks her.
" Always punished even though I had no bloody idea what was going on. Get yelled at by the boss at work, blame Tiana. Yard not in perfect shape the bint blames me. Bleedin barmy cousin fails a test blame me or I cheated if I get better grades than same said barmy cousin. " Tiana says, shrugging, she'd gotten used to it.
" Barmy? " Takuya asks.
" Equivalent is baka or dobe, either fit him. " Tiana answers him.
Takuya's chocolate eyes light up with comprehension even as the Kanbara parents set to work on finally helping the Girl Who Lived, " For the sake of my sanity please don't let it be known that the bleedin GWL is out of England. I bloody well hate my fame. "
Tiana, one week later, is stunned that she has been granted asylum in Japan and Yuriko has sponsored her. After getting her arm healed and her away from the Dursleys in such a way that Dumbledore couldn't remove her, Yuriko had taken her shopping and Tiana had dragged the only one she was even close to along with her, which actually turned out to be a good thing as Takuya was able to rein his mother in somewhat. Tiana hated dresses though she had agreed to a kimono after seeing them as long as she was afforded freedom of movement and modesty. Yuriko had to agree with that as the girl did have several enemies.
Currently, approaching her twelfth birthday, Tiana is working hard on her Japanese so that soon she wouldn't need the charm. She and Takuya alternated languages every day which benefited them both. Yuriko had also had Tiana's magical knowledge tested, she was all right in that regard though she had mentioned that she would like to learn to defend herself the mundane way. All of the Kanbaras understood this mentality and nurtured it. She attended the same class as Takuya and she quickly rose through the ranks, she did better with practicals and Takuya practiced with her almost daily anyhow.
The morning of her twelfth birthday dawns to a tapping on her bedroom window. The twelve year old rolls out of bed and opens the window to be accosted by a snow white owl with a package in her talons. Tiana dodges her irate familiar, diving out her bedroom door, " Hedwig, calm down, you know why I had to leave you with 'Mione. " Tiana tries to calm her overprotective owl down.
Hedwig's response was to dive at her again, only fast reflexes that served Tiana well as a Seeker got her out of the way, " Shut up, Takuya. " Tiana snaps, dodging her irate familiar once again even as Takuya stands laughing at her misfortune.
Tiana manages to wrest her present from Hedwig, " Hedwig, I have a frozen rat for you to eat, not to mention several things for you to take back to 'Mione. "
The owl cocks her head to the side and then nods. Takuya grins, " You weren't kidding about her being protective of you. "
" Go get her rat, please, I'd actually like to open my second ever, that I can remember, birthday present. " Tiana says.
Takuya just shakes his head, he'd adjusted to having the transplanted Brit around, though he'd never think of her as a sister, he couldn't, the attraction had started the day they met and had continued the longer they knew each other, which was why his parents hadn't adopted her, they could see his interest and hers, though she was harder to read. It was thanks to him that she was finally acting her age. He returns with the rat and hands it to Hedwig. The owl hoots at him and takes the rat, but not before eying him suspiciously.
" Hedwig, be nice, Takuya's a friend. He hates Dudley. "
Takuya blinks as Hedwig blinks and then nods at him, " Did I seriously just have to pass muster with an owl? "
" Hey, at least we're not dating, that would make her scrutiny even worse. " Tiana says.
Yellow eyes stare at him unnervingly, and Takuya refuses to back down to an owl. Hedwig looks away first, liking what she had found in the boy. He'd be good for her chick. Tiana grins when she sees what Hermione had gotten for her, when Tiana had confessed to being a closet Naruto fan she hadn't thought Hermione would get her a boxed set of the first fifteen volumes. Takuya grins when he sees the gift, " Naruto, really? "
" Prankster. "
" Ah, that explains it. What do you use Naruto to get ideas? "
" Actually I can tree climb and water walk. The healers here say my wish to use chakra after I read the first volume of Naruto opened up my chakra network. Our sensei is actually having fun teaching me how to use my chakra for physical enhancement. "
Takuya blinks at this and then he laughs, no wonder she was learning so quickly, " I've always done better with practicals, Takuya, except Potions, though apparently I did retain enough of that to not need tutoring over the summer. "
Takuya was quick to toss her his present to her, everyone knew when her birthday was, what made Tiana treasure Takuya was the fact that he treated her like a normal person. Even 'Mione had her fan girl of the GWL moments, she was getting better though. Tiana was quick to open his present to her and she looks at the choker, stunned. " When did you even manage to pull this off anyhow? "
Takuya smirks, " First, you are the youngest Seeker in a century, hence the snitches woven into the choker on red material as you're a Gryffindor, then the Potter family crest as the charm. Wasn't that hard to get it done being the Heir to the Kanbara Clan. "
Tiana's eyes trace what she now knew was her family crest, she was still trying to learn everything she needed to know about her family and being the Heiress to such an old family but it was hard without someone to teach her. Still, she had learned as much as she could about the way the Brits did things. She was still reading through the books she had gotten on Japan. " I have to say this is the most thoughtful gift I can ever remember getting, Takuya. "
" It's not that impressive. " Takuya mutters, a hand going up to rub the back of his neck in embarrassment.
" It is to someone that didn't even know what her family crest looked like. Dumbledore's trying to keep me uninformed of a lot of things so I owl order books to try and close the gap in knowledge that is between me and those raised magical all their lives, like that prat Malfoy. "
" Wait, you seriously don't even know your own family history? " Takuya asks her.
" Immediate only in which my parents died on Halloween when I was merely fifteen months old. " Tiana states.
" Damn, we'll have to change that soon enough, right now, it's your birthday and you're going to have some fun. " Takuya says firmly.
The whole Kanbara family had been surprised that Tiana was used to being up early and cleaning her aunt and uncle's home. Yuriko was trying to train Tiana out of that but Tiana would start cooking if only so she could think things through. The Kanbara family had been treated to British food whenever Tiana cooked and she had found ways to cut down on the grease as well. Since cooking was something that Tiana could do without thinking about it they let her. They slowly eased her into Japanese Cuisine though she was also on a strict potion regime under Yuriko's watchful eyes.
Tiana was stunned that she had an actual birthday party, she must have had one with her parents but she didn't remember that one. The Kanbara parents had gotten her magical and mundane tech, cell phone and laptop. Of course, this meant Takuya had to teach her how to use them. The magical one was for if she chose to go back to Hogwarts, she'd still be able to keep in touch with them. Thankfully she did know the basics of computers but she still needed some help there. Shinya had gotten her a training Snitch and Tiana put that to use almost immediately. All four Kanbaras were able to see why she was the youngest Seeker in a century, her eyes tracked the Snitch almost constantly.
Takuya kept abreast of Quidditch even if he preferred soccer so at least if Tiana wanted to talk Quidditch she could. That was one thing Tiana was up to date on, Quidditch. While she followed the Tutshill Tornadoes while a certain red headed Weasley in her year followed the Chudley Cannons. Of course, she was also aware of the Japanese National Team and she admired the Seeker. Hell, if she could find the time to practice then she would. She made sure to keep up with Seeker moves and was disappointed she couldn't practice.
The next day Takuya surprised her by taking her to the Shibuya branch of Mahoukotoro where the Quidditch team was training. Tiana's eyes were already following the Snitch and from the way she was vibrating in place she wanted to be on a broom now, " Hey, Kataro, how'd you like to train with the youngest Seeker in a century? " Takuya calls out.
" She got a broom? "
Tiana was quick to enlarge her trunk and pull her broom out, " Yeah, I got a broom, you the Seeker for this team? "
Kataro blinks, " Shimatta, that's a Nimbus Two Thousand, and yes I am. I'm also the team captain. "
" Damn straight, I've got a Nimbus Two Thousand. Do you even know where the snitch is right now? " Tiana fires back.
Takuya shrinks her trunk and backs away, he hadn't seen this side of Tiana yet. " Like you do, you likely just got that position because of your fame. " Kataro fires back.
Tiana mounts her broom, " Put your money where your mouth is, prat. "
Takuya winces, " Fine, first to catch the snitch gets a hundred galleons. "
The rest of the Quidditch team watches the two seekers warily, " Beaters, you're allowed to aim at us. " Tiana calls out.
Kataro curses at this but has to admit that it was fair, Seekers had to dodge bludgers all the time when looking for the Snitch. One of the Chasers starts them off and Tiana kicks off, soaring into the air easily and dodges the Bludger sent her way almost lazily, these two were nothing compared to the Terror Twins. Her eyes immediately lock on to the Snitch and Kataro has yet to even spot it. Tiana grins, well, she had ended a Quidditch game in five minutes. She tilts her broom up and rockets towards her target, dodging the Chasers and the Bludgers coming her way. Kataro curses when he sees that she has in fact spotted the Snitch.
Down on the ground Takuya had decided to time the contest and Tiana's fingers close around the Snitch at the three minute mark. The opposing Seeker stares dumbfounded as Tiana lands, " Now you know why I'm the youngest Seeker in a century, Kataro-san. "
Kataro winces, he owed her a hundred Galleons now, " I'm staying with the Kanbaras, deliver my earnings there. " Tiana says and she flies off again, releasing the Snitch once more. The Captain of the team lands and looks at Takuya.
" Did you know she was that good? "
" She caught a Rememberall after a fifty foot dive one foot from the ground and was still able to pull up, she's a natural at flying, Kataro, she did that dive her first time ever on a broom at Hogwarts. The Rememberall apparently belongs to a fellow Gryffindor, Neville Longbottom, remember in every non-Asian country it's given name and then family name. " Takuya says.
Kataro moans, " Please tell me she's transferring from Hogwarts, Takuya. That girl is a prodigy if I ever saw one, at least as a Seeker. "
" She's not sure yet, her only girlfriend goes to Hogwarts. Apparently she's a bookworm know-it-all and has very few friends. Hell, she was her first female friend as well. " Takuya states.
Kataro sighs at this news, " Why do the gods hate me? "
Tiana flies down lower, " I'll go back for my second year and work on 'Mione's parents to get her transferred to Mahoukotoro. I'll send 'Mione the literature tonight though I may just hire a Potions tutor so I don't have to suffer Snape. "
" Maybe my dad can get in touch with them and arrange a tour at some point, you don't want to leave her there alone, do you? " Takuya asks.
" Bloody hell, that would be a disaster waiting to happen. We fought a Mountain troll together, saved the bloody Philosopher's Stone together as well. " Tiana retorts and goes back to what she loved to do, fly.
Soon enough it was Shinya's birthday and the Potter heiress had gotten him some Treacle Tart, well, more like made it. Some was for Shinya and the rest was for her. She'd gotten a new wand mostly so she could practice magic though she was also working on mastering her spells wandlessly and silently. Plus, Yuriko had arranged for her to learn summoning as well. This actually pleased Tiana as she happened to be a natural at summoning magic, not to mention she had managed to summon a kitsune that bonded to her as another familiar. Said kitsune happened to be female and Tiana decided to name her Eris after the Greek Goddess of Chaos. Eris lived up to her name too and shockingly enough Hedwig and Eris got along, mostly because Eris could protect Tiana where Hedwig couldn't.
It was with great surprise that she received the message, do you wish to start on her mundane phone. Being the adventurous girl she happened to be she selected yes and follows Takuya out the door. She had already procured Hermione's birthday present, a magical cell phone and laptop so she could keep up with her Mundane Schooling. That was one thing the Kanbaras had done for Tiana, gotten her up to date with her Mundane Schooling by going to the British Embassy in Japan. They'd gotten her up to date and promised to look into the situation for the other Mundane born students at Hogwarts.
Tiana stops Takuya from going out into the street by performing a silent and wandless Summoning Charm. Takuya looks at her sheepishly as they continue on, that had been a baka moment for him. Once on the train Tiana curls into him and Takuya had gotten used to it once he got her over her aversion to touching. She was still jumpy around the rest of his family but she was getting better. She had also become friends with Kataro after she'd gotten her Galleons delivered. They had exchanged contact info though Tiana knew she would have to use her phone at Hogwarts. Thankfully she had learned the spell to keep her teachers and the Purebloods from noticing it. She just knew that damned Dumbledore would have it confiscated if he could.
She'd also gotten Neville a book on Japanese plants and sent him one as well for his birthday along with suggesting to Lady Longbottom that she get Neville fitted with a proper wand and hire him a tutor in Potions for the next school year. What Tiana didn't know was that Augusta had taken her advice to heart. She knew how badly Neville did in Potions and figured a different teacher might make a difference in his practical grade. Tiana heads for a certain train once they reach their last stop on the phone messages and Takuya follows her though she does grab a kid being bullied as well. They discovered his name was Himi Tomoki though he preferred to be called Tommy.
Tiana curls up against Takuya again as they make their way to a new adventure, though Tiana did tell Tommy about how her cousin Dudley would bully her. They also found out Tommy happened to be a magical as well. This meant they passed the time teaching him new charms that he could use. Though they did notice the change in their phones, Tiana's turned brown and gold from the red and gold it had been, Takuya and Tommy's phones just changed shape. The Potter heiress just sighs knowing that with her luck she'd just been pulled into a new death defying situation.
