Culture Clash Ch. 2

Introductions.

Hikaru opened his eyes and saw several blurs in front of him. He blinked a couple of times and saw that the blurs were really his friends which were still wearing their jumper suits and helmets. His own helmet was on a table near him. "Hikaru!" Kaoru exclaimed, he hugged his twin tightly as he could. "I was so worried about you! I thought that one witch may have cursed you or something and…and…" Kaoru stuttered.

"Shhh… it's okay now. I'm okay, no one cursed me, I was just shocked, and that's all." Hikaru said.

Haruhi rolled her eyes. 'Geez, these guys would never change.' She thought. She looked around and saw that the long room was gray, and has a lot of beds in it. Bottles and bottles of medicines, wait no… potions are lined up neatly in one shelf. 'Must be their infirmary' she thought. She looked at the big bags of clothes and other essentials such as Kyouya's laptop (which were parachuted down after the host club landed) next to Hikaru's bed.

She looked at Hikaru once more. He was happily chatting with his friends who were happy that the reason he fainted wasn't serious. She smiled as well, knowing that her friend was alright. Then she noticed that Hikaru noticed Kaoru's injured fist.

"Kaoru what happened?" asked Hikaru as he reaches out to grab his twin's injured hand. "Oh this, this is nothing." Kaoru insisted.

Hikaru eyed his brother. "No, I know there something happened while I'm unconscious. And I want to know what it is!" demanded Hikaru.

"Fine fine. I…" Kaoru started but stopped since he was too embarrassed to move on. Hunny noticed the awkwardness in the younger Hatachiin and continued the story. "Kao-chan got so shocked that you fainted all of a sudden that he assumed that someone cursed you. So he starts yelling 'Who cursed my brother!' When no one answered, he assumed that somebody did curse you since they could just easily say that you weren't cursed and starts punching random stuff." Said Hunny.

"But the kind old gentleman that suggested for us to keep our memories manages to calm Kaoru down and ordered a nurse, or whatever they call her to give us a room and a bed where we can lay you down." Tamaki said.

"Kaoru, you don't have to do that for me. I'm okay all along. Next time you should be careful of your actions, look what it done to you."

Haruhi almost giggled with the last comment. Hikaru, who was the less mature one of the twins, is telling his own brother to be more careful. "But do you think what they said is true though?" Hikaru asked.

"You mean them being witches and wizards? I don't know." Haruhi said.

"But I guess what they're telling are true Hika-chan." Said Hunny. "It's the only reasonable answer there is."

"What reasonable answer? Witches and Wizards aren't reasonable!" the twins said in unison.

Then suddenly, the huge wooden doors opened, revealing the wise old Dumbledore. "Ah I see that your little friend has awakened from his shock." said Dumbledore.

The host club looked at him so simultaneously that one would think that they rehearsed it. Dumbledore walked towards them carefully, Tamaki and Kaoru backed up a bit in caution. "No need to be alarmed, I don't bite." Dumbledore said.

Dumbledore sat down the bed right next to Hikaru's. "Well, I'm sure you have a lot of questions to ask me." He insisted when the host club, except the dark haired ones, looked at him strangely.

"Are you really a witch?" Haruhi asked.

"No I'm not. You see I'm a wizard, a witch is a female sorcerer while I'm currently a male." Dumbledore said. Kyouya took note. (1)

"Where exactly are we?" Hikaru asked after a few seconds later.

"We're at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry where I, Professor Albus Dumbledore am the headmaster."

The host club was silent once more. "What were you talking about earlier before I fainted?" Hikaru asked.

"ahh." Dumbledore stood up. "As you know, most muggles thought that wizards and witches are just made belief. That includes other magical creatures such as dragons, elves, fairies, veelas and more. That's because there was a rule that magical creatures aren't allowed to make contact with muggles."

Tamaki thought about it for a minute. "Wizards keep on calling us muggles, what exactly is a muggle?" Tamaki asked.

"Muggles are non-magical creatures such as your friend right here. (He points at Hikaru) But I may not tell the same for you."

The host club looks at each other. Kyouya kept on taking notes. "What do you mean by that Dumble-chan?" Hunny asked.

Dumblefore looked at the lolishota . "That's Professor Dumbledore. And your friend over here, Tamchi is it?" Dumbledore asked.

"It's Tamaki." Tamaki corrected.

"Ah yes, Tamaki, since he's related to Fleur Delacour. He carries both wizard and veela blood."

"Veela?" Kaoru asked and they looked at Tamaki then to Kyouya in hopes that he might know what a veela is. "I assume that they're magical creatures similar to nymphs. Only that they might me better looking and more charming." Kyouya said.

'Well that explains Tamaki's good looks and affect towards the ladies.' Haruhi thought. Dumbledore however, was mildly surprised that a muggle knows what a veela is. 'Perhaps magical creatures are well known in the muggle world after all.' He thought.

"Now before we depart, now may I ask, how did you guys manage to find Hogwarts when it's suppose to look like ruins to muggles." Asked Dumbledore.

"About that…" Kaoru started. "Well we manage to track down Fleur to be inside the 'ruins'. And we thought that her hobby was exploring things in her free time. But soon the days became weeks and Tono became worried."

"Tono?" asked Dumbledore.

"That's what we call Tamaki-senpai." Replied Hikaru.

"So we decided to enter then…"

Flashback:

"Tono! It's just a ruin let's go back! Sooner or later your cousin would get out of there!! I still have to make some designs for mother." Hikaru cried. He stopped walking towards the 'ruins' and sat down on a rock.

"I tell you that it's a castle!! And how come every time we go near the castle you guys suddenly remember your chores?" Tamaki said.

"We just remember it, that's all! Now I want to go back! I don't even want to meet your cousin anyway." Haruhi pouted.

"But meeting my relatives is a precious moment for me my sweet daughter! And I want to share this special moment with all of my closest friends. And besides, we're all the way on the other side of the earth!"

"Fine, but it's the fifth time we tried to enter the ruin. Don't you think it's time to give up?"

"No! I would never give up until I met my cousin! She may be the only relative I would ever know from my mother's side!" Tamaki complained. Tamaki's last words struck Haruhi hard. "Fine. But we can't walk there the next time since it won't seem to work, so how do you suggest we enter the ruins?"

Then an airplane flew over them, giving Tamaki an idea. He points at Kyouya. "Kyouya, get us a plane and seven parachutes!!" Tamaki yelled.

"You mean…" Hikaru said.

"I never thought that we could do that…" Kaoru said.

"Wooohooo!! This is going to be fun!! Ne Takashi?" Hunny said.

"Hnn."

"Yes my friends, we are going to parachute down the castle." Tamaki said.

"How did I always get dragged into this?" Haruhi mumbled to herself.

"I see…" Dumbledore said.

The large doors of the hospital wing suddenly opened once more showing the dignified Cornelius Fudge, Mr. Crouch and many other including Percy Weasley.

"I see Professor Dumbledore already talked to our little guests here." Fudge said. "Then I suppose that there is no explanation needed to be said." Then he called for six mediwitches which pointed their wands towards the host club.

"Wait! What are you doing?" Hikaru yelled.

"We're just simply erasing your memories dear boy. Nothing to be afraid of." Fudge replied.

"Nothing to be afraid of? Wh-" before Kaoru could finish his sentence, the six mediwitches aimed at the host club's head, not including Hikaru and cast their spells. Six strings of light shot out of their wands and hit the host clubs' helmets. The helmets however bounced of the spell and split them, causing the spells to hit other directions and saving the host clubs' memories of the magical world.

"But… how?" Fudge mumbled. Every person was shocked in disbelief. How did these muggles able to bounce of the spell? What would they do next if they can't erase the muggles' memories?

Meanwhile the host club wondered if the spell worked. Do they still remember about the wizard world? Yeah, since they know what it is. Then what would happen next?

The older wizards and witches were still stunned of what happened. And one by one, they regained their composure and quickly huddled together. "Did you saw that? They bounced of the spell! What are we going to do? We can't erase their memories. So what happens next" said one.

They all thought about it for a minute while the host club looked at them, well most of them does, since Kyouya is both watching and taking notes.

"I guess if we can't erase their memories, then I guess we have to let them go."

"What?!! We can't let them go!! We don't know if we could thrust them with the secret of the magical world."

"But what much choice do we have?"

"May I suggest that we place these muggles under surveillance." Said Dumbledore. Every witch and wizards looked at him. Some wizards thought about it.

"Are you suggesting, professor Dumbledore that we watch these muggles closely and see if they're trustworthy enough to bear the secret of the wizarding world?" asked Fudge.

"Well, what much solution do we have?" said Dumbledore. "I even volunteer my own school where they could stay while under surveillance so that my own students could watch over them. And the ministry could just come and watch over them after the Triwizard events."

A few wizards nodded. "But professor, where would these muggles stay?" protested Percy.

Meanwhile the muggles (host club) were having a discussion on their own. "Why did you think the spell didn't affect us senpai?" Haruhi asked to Kyouya.

"I have no idea." Replied Tamaki who apparently misdirected Haruhi's question towards him

However, Kyouya knows to whom the question was really directed to but he didn't answer since for the first time, he doesn't know what the answer is.

"Excuse me, can you come here please?" Professor McGonagall asked.

The host club hesitantly approached them, except for Kyouya who confidently walked straight towards them. Hikaru stand up from his bed and followed his friends.

"After what happened earlier, it is clear that we can't use a memory charm on you." Started Professor McGonagall. "And this creates a conflict on how were going to approach the situation of protecting the secret of the magical world."

"So we decided that you and your friends would be staying in here at Hogwarts under surveillance until we are sure that you are able to keep this secret." Said Fudge.

"What!! You can't just keep us here like prisoners!!" exclaimed Hikaru.

"What would our parents think?!!" exclaimed Kaoru.

"Tell them, Tono!" they said in unison. However, Tamaki was too stunned of what the Cornelius Fudge told them to argue. Noticing this, the twins carried Tamaki into a corner and motioned the others to follow them.

"What do you guys think? Do we agree with their condition?" Hikaru asked in Japanese.

"Well, this may give me a chance to observe the wizard world." Kyouya asked.

"We could eat wizard sweets! Right Takashi?"

"hnn?"

"What are you guys thinking? What would your parents say if were missing for who knows how long?" asked Haruhi. "And we still have school to think about."

The host club thought about it. "We could just make a deal with our teachers for us to go to school at least three times a week. We could take our assignments here and do it ourselves." Suggested Kyouya.

"But that's just to bothersome." Complained Haruhi.

"Then do you have a better solution then I presume." Kyouya said. Haruhi shut her mouth. Kyouya grinned. 'evil…' thought Harruhi when she saw the grin.

"Fine, but how do you think were going to explain our absence to… I don't know… everybody!!" exclaimed Haruhi.

Kyouya's grin grew even wider. "We could just say that we are going on a business trip that takes up much of time. And as for the attendance, I think we could convince our teachers to change a few things. Besides, it's only until the winter vacation starts."

"Oh mother! I'm so impressed of you to figure all that out! But what about our customers?"

"We would resume with our club activities during our time back home." Kyouya said. Everybody thought about the condition Kyouya set out and agreed. Except for Haruhi, who thinks it's too bothersome to travel to different countries back and forth in just a week.

The host club then explained the conditions and understood that education is important. But Haruhi was still reasoning that it takes to much time to travel between counties in the first place.

"May I suggest that you would be escorted by some of the official to apparate to and from your country." Said Professor McGonagall.

"Apparate?" asked Hunny, Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi and Tamaki.

"Apparation is a way of transportation for us wizards. It only takes the traveler a few minutes or so to arrive in their destination." Professor McGonagall said. Kyouya took note while some wizards eyed his suspiciously.

"Well, it's settled then, all we have to figure out is a schedule when you are going back to you own country and we'll have to assign a few people to apparate you there and back." Fudge said when nobody was talking.

Everybody got up and walked away from the room, leaving the host club alone with Dumbledore once more. But this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape was left behind with them.

"You would be staying in the Gryffindor tower where Professor McGonagall (he gestures at Professor McGonagall) is the head. Since the Gryffindor dormitories has some extra beds." Dumbledore said.

The host club nodded. "Professor, we better get back to the great hall, the students would be waiting for news." Said Snape.

"Ah… Yes. We better go, come on, and follow me." Dumbledore said to the host club.

They all nodded and took their belongings. "No need to carry those." Said Dumbledore. "Those would be carried to your dormitories later on." The host club dropped all their belongings, except for Kyouya who took his notebook with him.

They followed Dumbledore through many corridors and rooms. "Psst. Tono, what do you thin of the school so far?" asked Hikaru.

"Pretty okay I guess."

"Yeah, there's nothing special about this school. But a little too gray- Whoa!" Hikaru said.

"Hikaru! What's wrong?" Kaoru asked.

"I think I just saw a ghost!"

"Hika-chan's imagining of a ghost?" Hunny asked who was walking beside Mori for a change.

"No I'm serious! There was a nearly headless ghost floating around!"

"Maybe your still shocked about the whole wizards are real thing Hikaru. I think you better get some rest." Haruhi suggested. Then suddenly, nearly Headless Nick appeared right in front of the. Everybody shrieked except for Kyouya who just hanged his mouth slightly open.

"Actually, I think your friend here wasn't seeing things. Ghost roam around this castle and consider this their home." Said Dumbledore.

"I say Dumbledore, who are these guests of yours?" Nearly headless Nick asked.

"They're muggles, Sir Nicholas." Dumbledore replied.

"Muggles!! Muggles aren't allowed to enter Hogwarts and they never had since the beginning of this school!"

"Well it seems that these muggles are a special case. You see, we tried to erase their memories but then the spell bounced of. I discussed it with the minister, and he said that these muggles would be under surveillance until they were proven that they are able to keep the secret of the magical world."

"I see…" said nearly headless Nick. He looked at the visitors once more and went through the wall.

"That was scary…" Hikaru said. The suddenly, nearly headless Nick popped his head once more. "By the way Dumbledore, Everybody in the Great Hall was looking for you." (it's seven-thirty in the evening.)

"Thank you, Sir Nicholas."

Haruhi was first to got back to her right state of mind and saw that Hunny was hiding behind Mori.

"Are you okay senpai?" asked Haruhi in English. She figured that someone might think they would be planning to reveal their secret which makes it longer for them to leave.

"The ghost… the ghost scares me Haru-chan."

"Don't worry, the ghost won't hurt you. Or else they would have removed them from here years ago."

"Are you sure?"

"hai." Hunny brightened up a little. Dumbledore started walking once more after watching the touching brother/sister act by Haruhi and Hunny.

They stopped in front of a huge oak door, probably the biggest door that Haruhi would ever see. Dumbledore opened the huge oak doors and everybody turned to look at the newcomers.

Everybody looked in curiosity as the ten of them (host club + Dumbledore + Professor McGonagall + Professor Snape.) walk towards in front of the room where the faculty's tables are.

As the host club walk towards the front, they looked around and saw four long tables lined up and several children were looking at them strangely. 'Probably because we're still wearing the jumper suits, helmets and goggles' thought Haruhi. But one table caught her eye. A long table dressed in green table cloth was full of students who are looking at them with disgust.

Once they were in the front, the host club let the elder go up the steps and sits down in their respectable seats.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape sat down, but Professor Dumbledore remained standing.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and said. "As you all know, after the first task of the triwizard tournament, our 'little' secret was discovered by these seven." He points at the host club who faced the rest of the student body. "Now, we already talked about the situation with the Minister and agreed upon a solution. We would take these muggles for a few weeks or so as our guest." Said Dumbledore.

Murmurs started throughout the hall. The Slytherins starts rambling about not sharing their school with 'filthy muggles'. And how the school was the only refugee from muggles and now it was all ruined.

"Quiet!" said Dumbledore. Everybody went silent. "Now I expect these muggles to be given as much respect as much you would give to your fellow students. Now, they would be staying in the Gryffindor house until their visit here is through. Now, I would ask our visitors to introduce themselves one by one since we would be seeing them for awhile and I would like for you to know their names." Draco was mimicking what Dumbledore had said in a grotesque manner, but Dumbledore just eyed him.

"Now if you may please." Said Dumbledore.

"Souh Tamaki, student at Ouran academy." Tamaki said.

"Huninozuka Mitsukini, student at Ouran Academy, but you can just call me Hunny" said Hunny gleefully from his cousin's shoulders. "And this is Morinozuka Takashi, he's student at Ouran Academy too." Added Hunny.

"Hnn…" Now everybody wondered why the tallest one of them didn't didn't speak.

"Hikaru…" Kaoru said.

"and Kaoru…" Hikaru said "Hatachiin! We're the Hatachiin twins! Student at Ouran Academy!" they said in unison.

"Great another set of twins." Said one student form Gryffindor.

"I just hope their not as mischievous as the Weasly twins."

"Ohtori Kyouya, student at Ouran Academy." Kyouya said coolly, he didn't push up his glasses since he was wearing goggles.

"Why do I have a feeling that I heard their names before?" Hermione asked from the Gryffindor table.

"I don't know, maybe their common for muggles where they came from, I guess." Ron said.

"No, Ron, it's not just that, I think I heard of the school where they came from too."

"Come to think of it, I think I heard my aunt Petunia talking with my uncle about enrolling Dudley into Ouran this year." Harry said.

"Do you think that your cousin really did enter that school?" asked Ron

"Hardly, they said it's really hard for people to enter that school. They said only a special situation can a person enters."

"Fujioka Haruhi, special student at Ouran academy." Haruhi said in a bored tone. Everybody was now confused what she meant by 'special student'.

Dumbledore nodded "Harry Potter." He called out.

Harry stood up and walked towards the staff table. "Yes Professor Dumbledore?" asked Harry.

"Could you show our guests to their dormitories?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes Professor." Harry approached the weirdly dressed muggles and escorted them towards the Gryffindor table as the hall returned to their dinner and such. They sat across Hermoine and Ron who stood up when they came.

"Hi, Ron Weasly, pleasure to meet you." Ron greeted while he reaches out his hand.

"Hi, a pleasure to meet you, I'm Hermione Granger by the way." Hermione shook hands with the host club.

"Hi, I'm Harry Potter." Harry said then sat down. Now everybody slowly returned to their meals and Harry and the gang kept their eye on their new visitors.

"Excuse me, but it's rude to look at other people strangely for a long time." Said Hikaru, who has his helmet off but was still wearing his goggles.

Ron blinked a couple of times. "Sorry, mate, but I was just wondering if that's the latest in muggle clothing." Said Ron. Then the host club realized that they were still wearing their jumper suits. When they were about to reply, Draco popped out of nowhere, appearing behind Harry and Ron.

"Your obviously worn weasel, they just want to hide their filthy ugly face that's all." A few Slytherins started to laugh at Draco's comment.

Offended by Draco's comment, except for Haruhi. The host club started to remove their jumpsuits and helmets. Revealing their handsome faces and stylish clothes underneath the jumpsuits they were wearing.

Haruhi however was wearing the classic skater outfit, made of a short sleeve with a long sleeve underneath. Her outfit hides the fact that she's really a girl.

Everybody looked in awe, even Draco and Pansy Parkinson has nothing to saw. "Mate…" Ron said.

Hikaru, Kaoru and Kyouya smirked. Girls in the Gryffindor table started to blush, including Lavander and Parvati. Many people around them started to whisper also.

"Oh my gosh!!! Their gorgeous!! I so want to be in Gryffindor right now." A girl from Ravenclaw said.

"Yeah, I do to…" a girl from Slytherin silently said. A few heads turned towards the girl then the girl snapped back. "Who wants to sit next to those filthy muggles?" the girl lied since she sooo wants to sit at Gryffindor right now.

"Look at their clothes!! It's so beautiful and stylish! Man those muggles are lucky that they get to wear whatever clothes they want."

"The cuts of their clothes are so … different than ours. And the colors are so radiant. I wonder if I could get one."

The host club sat down and started eating their dinner. "The food is pretty okay, I guess." Hikaru commented after he took a bite.

Normally the witches would be offended but they were too preoccupied with their new visitors' faces and beautiful clothes.


A.N. Another cliffy, if you may call it that, but I don't know where to end this Ch. But oh well. Now, I would tell you guys that so far all Ouran/Harry crossover was not completed, but not this one! Review by the way!!

One more thing, I would take a small brake to fill a little thing I call "Inspiration tank"

1. Kyouya took note that about the difference about witches and wizards NOT that Dumbledore's a guy, even if it is funny to think about.
