Chapter 2: Magic and Shinigami
"Watari?"
L knew something was very wrong as he woke up in the strange place.
One, he was in a bed... L never slept in beds, he usualy fell asleep sitting up and Watari right next to him.
Two, the handcuff was gone from his wrist meaning that Light could get away which in turn risked Kira's attacks again.
And three, the Death Note was gone meaning the ultimate killing device was in someone hands, who hands they were he did not know.
L sat up and saw he was in a infirmary of some sort and Light was in the bed next him completely unconious and the handcuff was missing from his wrist as well. This at least means that the Death Note isn't with Light.
"Albus! He's awake!"
L turned to see an elderly woman call in the door way.
'By her clothes there was an 75% she was a nurse taking care of us,' L thought.
Some men walked in the room and looked at me.
The first one was cloaked in black and had greezed back hair. The second was in an oversized trench with shaggy blonde brown hair and a strange eye. The third man was the oldest with long grey beard and half moon glasses.
By the way they were dressed, L deduced that these people were intrested into the old magican myths which furthered the question of where he was.
The oldest man looked at him and asked in disbelief, "Is that really you Harry...?"
L tilted his head and said in his monotone voice, "I believe you are mistaken. I am Ryuzaki Rue, may I enquire who you people are and where my posseions are?"
Dumbledore looked at the young man with his grey eyes with dark skin and flawless skin.
'Was this boy really Harry Potter?' The elderly headmaster thought.
Dumbledore looked at him and said, "I am Professor Dumbledore, and this Professor Snape, and Professor Moody. We are teachers here in this school."
L looked at them and said, "So I'm in a school, meaning that we're in the hosptial wing of the building meaning it's also a private school, and since you are speaking english with those accents, I can deduse that we are no longer in Japan, but some part of the UK. Most likeky either England or Scotland. Watari must be worried sick, not to meantion the rest of the task force."
'Japan? He been in Japan this entire time... Explains the name, but the boy's accent is definatly English.' Snape thought as he looked the strange youth over.
Snape looked at L and said, "As for the handcuff and the notebook, they are in the Headmasters office."
L looked at him and asked, "Did you touch it? The notebook?"
The three nodded and L said, "So you can see Rem as well."
Moody tilted his head and asked, "Who?"
"Me..."
Rem walked through the wall and the three men pulled out sticks aiming at the female Shinigami.
'Sticks? What could they do with that?' L thought as he bit his thumb.
Rem said, "Hold your wands mages, they can not hurt me and I will not harm you."
Snape asked, "What is that?"
L replied, "That is Rem. She is a Shinigami that guards the Death Note, since you touched it, you can see her."
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "A Death God... Don't tell me..."
L replied, "I was not using the note... Me and my investigation team had gotten the note away from a mass murderer, and trying to find another mass muderer using the note as well."
Moody looked at L and said, "Investigation team? But you're 14."
L replied in a scoff, "A 14 year old with an I.Q. of 320 and solved the worlds most difficult cases, since I was 7... Do not let appearances decieve you."
L then relized what he just said.
'Dammit... There goes my Ryuzaki alias, if these people heard about me.'
L sighed and said, "I might as well come clean, considering you people have no idea what the Death Note was, meaning none of you have the slightest possibly of being Kira. I go by another name that you maybe more fimilar with... I am L."
Moody looked at the boy and said, "Is that so? We'll need proof boy."
L looked at the man and said, "Well I could simply do an anlaysis of you and your compatrates, or deduse you have a false left leg due to the fact your right pant leg is more wrinkled. Pehaps I tell you that Professor Snape works with chemicals by the burn on his left hand, sugesting some sort of chemical, more than likely hydrochloric acid... No it's too soft a burn for that... Something more organic..."
L bit his thumb and said, "Ah! Stinging Nettles... You must have been using them in an experement and forgot your gloves explaining the burn on your hand."
The three men's eyes widen at L's elaborate deduction.
Moody looked at Snape and asked, "How did you get that burn Severus?"
Snape replied calmly, "We're make Totalis Notormus... It called for the roots from Stinging Nettles... I forgot my glove and burned my hand..."
'Harry Potter was the famed investigator L?! This was insane! But how else did he make such a deduction in mear seconds?!' Snape thought as the young man crawled out of the bed.
Madam Pompfrey walked over to him and said, "Oh no, you don't young man. You need to rest in that bed, and get some more sleep."
L looked at her and said, "I can't Madam."
She raised a brow and asked, "Oh and why not?"
L replied, "I've had insomina since I was two years old... Trust me, if I could sleep I would."
Madam Pompfrey looked at the boy and said, "What about you sugar levels? They are extemely high. And if your going to stand, stand up straight."
L gave a small smirk and said, "Sorry madam but both are drawn into my personal habits, which I can not chance. I stood like this since I was seven and the sweets... Well my body doesn 't take kindly to normal food, makes me phyiscally ill. I am quite healthy, just a bit odd if you will."
Dumbledore looked at him and said, "We need to talk once your friend is awake."
L replied, "Yes he is my friend, but do not give him your full name or at least give him an alais... There is a 5% that Light is Kira and if that so, he can kill you with a name and your face, if he some how or another gets his hands on the Death Note."
Snape then asked, "Um if I may ask, who is Kira? You mentioned him quite a bit."
L replied, "I'm surprised you haven't heard of him. Kira is a mass murderer with a childish sence of justice, in over the last 3 years he has murdered over 20,000 convicts, 10,000 criminals, and 10,000 other people... All without being there in person...
" The men looked green behind the gils as L said, "Kira was using a Death Note and intend on bringing him to justice. But as I said eariler there is a 5% that Light Yagami is Kira."
Moody looked at the sleeping teen and said, "We can use the verilliusum on him and make him tell."
L shook his head and said, "What ever this versillium is, don't use it... I need evidence of his crimes before the confession, so that there is no mistakes."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "We'll bring down the handcuffs and cuff him to the post while we speak Mr. L."
L sighed and said, "Please just call me Ryuzaki, it's much easier that way and less confusing."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "Very well Mr. Ryuzaki, please follow me."
L looked at Rem and said, "If Light wakes up, tell him I have the note, and will be right back."
Rem nodded and said, "Very well Ryuzaki... I shall keep an eye on Light Yagami till you return."
"Now then, you please explain where I am? This place seems defiably off the normal bases of that I am accustomed to especially the fact of the images moving, althought there seems to be a void of technology here." L asked as he stepped into the headmaster's office.
Snape and Moody left to teach their classes while the two spoke.
Dumbledore sat down and said, "All will be explained my boy. Please take a seat."
L nodded and sat down in 'his way' in the chair before the headmaster.
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Another one of your habits I presume?"
L nodded and said, "It helps me think. Now could you please start explaining, I have to get back to wear I have phone signal before my caretaker becomes worried."
'Caretaker? Must be the person who took him in.' Dumbledore thought as he looked at the strange youth.
He nodded and said, "Very well, but what I'm about to say will suprise you without a doubt."
Ryuzaki tilted his head and said, "Go on then."
Dumbledore pulled out an old photo album and said, "You may not believe me, but I knew your parents Ryuzaki... I also know your real name, the one they gave you."
L looked at the book in his dull unblinking stare...
He lightly picked up the book and opened the pages to reveal photos that moved on the pages, of a man and a woman.
The man had his shaggy black hair and was around his height, while the woman had his pale ivory like skin, and she had emerald green eyes like he used to have according to Watari.
'These people... There's a 85% they're my birth parents... nearly 97% of the phyiscal traits match. Could these people really be my mother and father?' L thought as he looked through the photos.
Then he came across another photo, only this time the couple was holding a child.
Underneath the photo was a caption that read;
'Lily and James' first child, Harry James Potter'
The detective stared at the image of the child which shared the same looks as he did.
'If these people really were my parents, then why was I placed in a orphanage?'
L questioned as he bit his he flipped the page to reveal a news article which answered his question;
'Dark Lord Defeated at The Cost of The Potter Household; Harry Potter Becomes Boy Who Lived.'
'They were murdered by this Dark Lord person... And he died soon after leaving this Harry Potter to be orphaned... The chances of me being this 'Harry Potter' person has raised to 98.5%... Now all I need is some sort of physical conformation and then I'll believe it fully.'
Dumbledore looked at L and said, "James and Lily were two of the most wonderful people, I ever came to know. The night when I went to check on them, was the night it happened... James died in the hall standing in front of the nursery, while Lily died with you wrapped in her arms... They both died that night, but you my boy... You came out alive and with only a scar on your forehead was left as proof."
'Sc-Scar... Can it really be?'
L then asked, "Where exactly was the scar and was did it look like?"
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he said, "In the center of the forehead and it looked like a lighting bolt."
L's face showed it all, the proof of who he was before the orphanage laid right before him...
He was in fact Harry James Potter...
L looked at the old man and said, "If you wouldn't mind... Please do not inform anyone else of my real name... Especially Light..."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "Yes the Death Note requires your real name to work, which is part of the magic behind it... Which brings up another point..."
The old headmaster looked at him and said, "As you could tell by the moving pictures and how Ms. Rem called us mages that we..."
L intrupted and said, "Posess magic, I assumed this much when I saw you pull out your wand. It make no sence to pull out a stick to defend yourself unless it does something, thus it implyed magic, which is no suprise it too exist if Shinigami are real."
Dumbledore laughed and said, "You are quite clever Ryuzaki... I can see why you are the world's greatest dective... And deductions on what I'm going to say next?"
L places his thumb on the brim of his teeth and said, "There's a 75% your going to tell me I posess magic, a 15% chance your going to say my parents were magic but I am not, and a 10% that your going to say Light Yagami posses magic. Which these conculsions come from the basis on the fact we're sitting in a magic based school."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Your figures do not lie Mr. Rue... You are in fact a wizard and I would like to train you to use this magic, so that you may truly experince the world around you."
L looked at him and said, "It would be interesting to say the least, but I also have a commitment to the world right now... The Kira Case must be solved or more people are going to die."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "I understand, but there also the fact of what brought you and your friend here... You see there is a tournament held every 100 years between the magic schools, called the Tri-Wizard's Tournament, which the names are drawn from a magical goblet... Someone slipped your real name into it, and it brought you here... If you don't compete then your magical essence will be taken from you..."
L looked at him and said, "Won't that just make me not a wizard anymore?"
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "When you magical essence is taken away... You life force drains away with it..."
L sighed and said, "So compete or die... Bit drastic."
The Headmaster nodded and said, "I agree but the ministry won't use anything else, besides the task are of equal danger."
L nodded and said, "Considering that I don't have a choice in the matter, I will compete, but under some conditions... One: no one uses the name Harry Potter, to them I am Hidaki Ryuuga."
'Another alias? He is really being careful.' Albus thought.
"Two: I will be competing for the Whammy's House, the orphanage and school I attended."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "We actually was looking for you about 3 years back when we came across Whammy's House. Although you weren't there at the time."
L replied, "I was on cases in America. The Ozark Drug traffickers, and the infamous BB murder case."
Albus smiled and said, "I see, but did you know that some of the other residents are magical as well? Young Nate River and Mihael Keehl will get their letters in two years."
L smiled and said, "Mello and Near... Both my sucessors are magical, quite a turn of events. But when you send them the letters, please use their alaises it will make them more comfortable to come... I will also have to do some explaining to them as well. Which brings me to my third point. I need my cell phone, laptop, and my other electronics to be able to funtion here... I maybe in this tournament but I still intend on solving this case."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "But of course, you have a private room set up so no one messes with your machines."
L nodded and said, "My fourth condiction is that Light Yagami is to stay here as well and the Death Note is locked in the saftest place in the school."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "We'll make the arangements so that the note will be locked and bound behind wards only you or myself can access. As for Mr. Yagami, we can give him a fake wand and some potions that allow him minor magical abilites. Nothing major, but enough to get him by in classes."
L nodded and said, "Good, now one last condition. I would like to eat, my meals in private and have access to the studies of the previous years, I did not attend so that I may further my studies in the magical arts."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "These terms are acceptable, I'll see to it that your room is ready by this evening, once your friend is awake, we'll go to where you were and pick up you requested items and inform your guardian."
L nodded and said, "Yes, Watari must know where I am. But do have an inqurie now."
Dumbledore looked at the youth as he eyed the candy.
"May I have one please?"
Dumbledore laughed and said, "Never in my lifetime have I met someone with my taste in sweets."
L picked up a Lemon Drop and placed it in his mouth saying, "Well then Headmaster, you've never met L Lawliet."
