Written for Werewolf one's 200 theme challenge.

I've only just started watching Black Butler so if my information is wrong I'm sorry. I'm also taking the information from Kuroshitsuju wiki.

Insanity

Harry couldn't believe it, he really couldn't. He sat in GrimmauldPlace kitchen listening to Dumbledore rattling on about his safety, but really? Dumbledore called this keeping him safe.

"So my boy," Dumbledore said with twinkling eyes, "What do you think? Any questions about the plan?"

"What do I think?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow, "What I want to know is where you got the idea of having a demon attached to me!"

"But if the first meeting goes well then it'll be fine," Dumbledore said with a wave of his hand, "Besides, I'm not going to introduce you to a demon."

Harry gave a sigh of relief, "So a proper demon isn't going to be my 'bodyguard' then? It's just a figure of speech?"

"You think I've just hired someone that is known for fighting like a demon?" Dumbledore asked with his own raised eyebrow, "My dear boy I think you've misunderstood."

"I have? But you said-"

"I am not getting a demon to forge a contract with you, nor will any contract with you be taken place," Dumbledore said as he listed things off, "You shall just be in charge of looking after this…person…for a while, it seems that the place that normally looks after him is down for a while. So in thanks for looking after him you'll get him to kill Voldermort free of charge!"

Harry blinked, "That's good, and I don't think I could have killed anyone…even through…"

"It's all right my boy, you are still young and pure through you've seen much."

Harry nodded his head, "So this person? What are they like?"

"Ah, them," Dumbledore said as he turned to look out of the kitchen window, "They will be turning up any moment now, I do believe they have a very big love for the colour red."

"At least it's not pink and kittens," Harry muttered ignoring Dumbledore's laugh, "So tell me about this person, I know from what you said that they're male at least."

"His name I believe is Grell Sutcliff, his a Grim Reaper and has experience as a butler," Dumbledore said happily, "He can sing, loves the colour red and wants to be a female."

Harry groaned into his hands, "So you're basically giving me a nutcase to look after and to make sure he kills someone?"

"I wouldn't say his a totally insane," Dumbledore said kindly, "I mean his just…different."

"Like how we say that about you?" Harry asked as he stood up, "Alright, I'll give him a chance…this could be the power he knows not. And at least you've told me this time."

"That's it my boy," Dumbledore beamed, "Just give it a go, the worse he could do is kill you, through if he does I want to be there."

Harry quickly turned around and gave the Headmaster a shocked look, his wide eyes and open mouth said it all. Too bad Dumbledore was too busy thinking.

"Why yes, the power of a Grim Reaper is to decide if they should live or die by looking at their memories," Dumbledore said happily, grabbing a cup to make some lemon tea, "I do believe it's like watching a muggle movie!"

"It's official," Harry muttered as he tried to creep out of the kitchen, "His lost it, I need to find Professor Snape…might hate me but at least he'll agree."

"Too late Potter through I do already agree."

"Severus!" Dumbledore cried out happily, "You made it, and I see you've meet Mr. Sutcliff?"

Harry looked Snape up and down, he didn't know if he should laugh, pity the man or run for this hills as his gut was telling him he was next. Severus Snape looked like he had been molested by a fan girl, badly, his normal straight hair was damp with sweat and sticking up all over the place, his pale face was red from running and…

"Professor Snape are you missing parts of your clothes?" Harry asked noticing that Snape had large holes in his robe and clothes, "It looks like someone's tried to grab you but you've gotten away leaving them only with a handful of material."

"That is exactly what has happened," Snape hissed with a glare at Dumbledore, "You old coot, not even the Dark Lord would do this! I agree with the brat, you're insane!"

"Oh? Then I'll enjoy talking to Mr. Sutcliff, two insane people talking to each other. What fun!"

"Professor I think we should run for it," Harry said without taking his eyes off of Dumbledore, "His gone insane."

"While I agree I think we should use a different door," Snape said staying alert, "Sutcliff is out in the garden…we'll go out of the house the long way."

Harry nodded his head then suddenly he gave a shocked gasp.

"What is it Potter?" Snape asked quickly drawing his wand and ready for battle, "What do you see?"

"Red!" Harry cried out in shock, "Everything's turning red!"

Snape paled, "Oh no, Sutcliff found the magical red paint…Potter, it wasn't nice knowing you. We're about to die in this insanity."

"We're doomed," Harry said standing next to Snape, "We're all going to die!"

"Don't speak like that Potter," Snape snapped but then he groaned as it hit him too, "Dumbledore's doing the Dark Lord's work!"

"I am not," Dumbledore said with a glare, "I happen to like red, also I think that Mr. Sutcliff will do you both the world of good."

"This is insane," Snape moaned, "I have a Grim Reaper who wants to-"

"Wants to what?" Harry asked in confusion, his confusion only grew as Snape went bright red.

Snape didn't give a verbal reply; instead he coughed lightly, turned around and began to walk out of the kitchen door only to stop dead in his tracks. His face gone completely white with a look of pure horror on it.

"Sevvy-darling!" came a flamboyant voice from the hallway, "There you are! Oh my and you have friends."

"Kill me," Snape moaned causing Harry to raise an eyebrow, "Please, it's better than putting up with Potter's new…pet."

"Oh Sevvy-darling," a long red haired man cried out, running into the room and pulling Snape into a hug, "Oh how I missed you so! Do you like what I've done to the house? I did it to show my love to you!"

Harry bite his lip as the red haired man began to hug Snape close to him and nuzzle him like a kitten.

"Ah young love," Dumbledore said with a happy sigh, "I like the colour red too."

"You do!" the red haired man cried out happily while not letting go of Snape, "Me too! What's your name? I'm Grell! Grell Sutcliff! Nice to meet you! You have a good eye for colours, what do you think of my decorating?"

Harry blinked in amazement as this 'Grell' person clunged to Snape like a lover and talked to Dumbledore about the colour red…Harry could see just how Dumbledore thought Grell Sutcliff would be able to kill Voldermort. Harry found himself looking forward to that day…

…there was only one problem through; would he manage to survive Grell Sutcliff?

The End.

Hope it's alright, I just had the idea of Severus/Grell jump at me, hope I did okay!
