Magmatic

These are short snippets inspired by Igneous, which I am sure a lot of us are missing. They are not part of Igneous, but they are a lot of fun.

Disclaimer: I do not own: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Harry Potter, or Igneous. Igneous is the brainchild of apathyinreverie who has graciously allowed me to play in her sandbox.

In Chapter 16 of Igneous; Harry left in the company of Reborn and Fon in order to 'talk' with Head Auror Savage.

Later...

Kingsley approached the area where Harry stood looking at the smoking crater that was the former MoM. It was a very impressive crater. In addition to his former companion, Harry had apparently picked up another competent feeling man. He blinked and held back a smirk; Reborn, that was the name of Harry's first companion, had been holding a bag of marshmallows a few seconds ago. He refocused himself. "Harry, good to see you again, and with a new friend along with Reborn." Semi formal nods exchanged, Kingsley was privately amused at the cheerful 'It's not my fault! I can explain, really!' tone that pranksters developed when caught by McGonagall. (She sometimes let the most impressive stories off a little lighter.)

"Oh, hey Kingsley. I'm sorry about the Ministry, but the Healers did want me to acclimate to high magic intensity areas slowly..."

"No, don't worry about that Harry," Kingsley assured the young man. "I was planning a through house cleaning of personnel soon anyway, and one of your DA members was in the lobby when you came in and managed to warn me with enough time to evacuate the more compentent and less corrupt employees. I would have liked to keep the walls intact, but the building gets blown up every couple of decades anyway so I guess we were due. No, I was just wondering what brought you in when your Healers prefer you to avoid prolonged visits?"

"Well, Head Auror Savage sent some Aurors to escort me in. She wanted to tell me about (I mean discuss) my new living arrangements in the Wizarding World, my new set of jailers and spies (sorry I meant to say, Auror bodyguards,) and the new methods she had decided on for the Wizarding World to suck me dry and contribute to my PTSD (well, honestly, she said duties, obligations, and the other expectations required of me.) When you add that to the irritation I felt when I found that she tried to access my vault several times while I was out of town... Well you remember that one time that Dumbledore didn't give me even an illusion of a choice about what I would be doing about that one thing..."

Kingsley did and shuddered in remembrance, while no one had been sorry to see the harpy portrait go, the reduction of usuable space at Headquarters to a quarter of the previous amount had been uncomfortable for the week it had taken to get fixed. That explained a good bit about the Ministry building now being a smoking crater. Still, there were a couple more things... "So what are your plans for Head Auror Savage now?"

Harry looked over at where his new friend? bodyguard? was calmly guarding a throughly tied up and unconscious Head Auror. He smiled as he turned back to Kingsley. "Well, Madame Pomfrey did tell me that the next person to interfere with my recovery had volunteered to help with her research into the physical effects of something called crucifixion. I do like to help her out when I can."

Kingsley nodded while withholding a wince, "I am sure she will appreciate your thoughtfulness. There is one last thing. The Department of Mysteries would like to know what prompted your invasion this time. I think they are debating whether or not to make you an Unspeakable to persuade you to stop wreaking the place."

Harry lost his small smile and his green eyes cooled and sharpened. "They provided Head Auror Savage with a way to track my magical signature."

Kingsley felt his spine go a bit straighter in response. He nodded, "I will be sure to let them know." and turned to walk away. So, Harry would have a new job as Head Unspeakable when he decided to return to magical society. He would have to figure out an official story for Harry to not be able to work for the Ministry.

Duties of the Head Unspeakable: (Eyes Only: Minister of Magic, Unspeakables)

1. Have Common Sense

2. Commitment to the Betterment of Society as a whole (magical and not)

3. The Power to smack down stubborn idiot researchers who are about to destroy the world

Skills involving paperwork are preferred, but not essential

Not as good as the original, but the smoking crater/former MoM, and Reborn with marshmallows amused me.
