Magic and Flames
A Katekyo Hitman Reborn –Harry Potter Crossover
Warning: This will take place during the 5th book.( Order of Phoenix ) Some parts will be different from the original book, so do not go ahead telling me that this or that does not tally with the book. It will be post-TYL where Tsuna (Note: 25 years-old) went to the future, finished Simon Arc and Rainbow Arc. The Arcobaleno ages will be introduced if ever they were to appear. Dialogues spoken in English will be [like this], Japanese will be [like this], Parseltongue will be [like this]. If there are bolds, it will be either the word is being emphasised (like extreme) or a special type of meaning, which will be explained. There will be NO YAOI OR SLASH. Pairs will be cannon for Harry Potter side. A '/' meant a time skip while a fanfic line break qill mean a shift in POV.
Warning for this chapter: Tsuna might be OoC in this chapter.
IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU KNEW BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY. IF NOT, DO AT LEAST READ THE SUMMARY OF EITHER STORIES BEFORE READING THIS , YOU WILL NOT NEED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN BECAUSE MOST OF THE POV WILL BE IN THE WIZARDING WORLD'S. I WOULD EXPLAIN MOST THINGS OF THE KHR INVOLVEMENT IN THE FIC ITSELF.
A/N: And this is chapter 3 (a rather shorter one, i'm afraid)! The first two to review will get their questions answered (through PM) while the first five will get a short preview of the next chapter! Also, thank you for the reviews for chapter two. Good news! 38 favourites and 52 followers? You guys are crazily awesome. Please review ^^ The more reviews i get will determine how fast i post a new chapter. However, the updates might get a few weeks breaks from now onwards as i'm starting my tertiary education two days from now. I'll be really busy as i am still involved in my secondary education's school's co-curricular activity and i have to attend those trainings every friday and from 22/02 onwards, on saturdays as well. I have yet to know which school i'm posted to too and it is compulsory to get any co-curricular activity from my tertiary education's school. (breaks out in sweat) I'm getting new shoes tomorrow and hopefully, really, that i get into the school of my choice and manage to get a good pair of shoes that will last two years, any ideas?
Review replies will be at the end.
Disclaimer: no.
Chapter 3: The Real Deal
"Now, let us commence on the lesson."
Harry wondered what the Professor would have wanted and what he would teach. The Professor glanced his way and smiled a little too sweetly.
"I would suppose you have not heard of my lesson yet, right?" Professor Sawada asked, back-facing the class as he taped the black board to be clean. There was an audible sigh of relief from Ron.
There was a pregnant silence.
Professor Sawada turned, looking at the rest of the class, giving them weird looks.
"Erm... I guess not, right?" He said, uncertainly, "Alright then. Good Afternoon class."
No one answered. Harry glanced around and saw some faces gaping at the Professor. Hermione has her lips pursed together, deep in thought. Ron was on the verge of laughing.
"Okay?" He said, this time quite firmly, "I thought they did this in the school's in Britain as well. Guess I wrong that the country's as well-mannered as Japan."
"You are from Japan!" Hermione exclaimed suddenly, making half of the class jump from the shock.
Professor Sawada did not seem fazed at all. "Yes I am, Miss Granger. I would expect hands to be up when you were going to give the class an announcement or ask me a question."
There was a sudden buzz of activity as the people in the class started to talk to one another. Harry heard Seamus tell Dean about the culture of Japan wizards and all while Hermione was triumphant that she was right and Ron looked grumpy.
Professor Sawada simply shook his head as he tapped the black board for attention. Everyone kept their mouth shut and turned their attention to the Japanese professor.
"I'll do a self-introductory then." There was a buzz of excitement. "I am currently twenty-five years old. I have been a professor for five years in the Mahoutokoro. As you all would have guessed by now, English is not my first language. In fact, it is my third. I am fluent in Japanese—" He added a Japanese accent in the last line, "—as well as Italian as well as a few other languages." He smiled.
"Hello. Konichiwa . Ciao. Nín hǎo. Bonjour. ¡Hola! 안녕하십니가 ." The entire class gaped at him. "Well, its English, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, French, Spanish and Korean," He said, smiling, "In that order. Although I am still brushing up on my Korean and Reborn still says that I need brushing up in most of other languages." He added thoughtfully, before scratching his head, almost like in embarassment.
"Who's Reborn?" Ron whispered softly to Hermione who slapped his head as if he was stupid to not know. "Why do you do that for?" Ron asked hotly. Hermione rolled her eyes before telling Ron that whoever Reborn was, was none of his business. Harry wanted to scold them for bickering again but Hermione suddenly spoke up.
"That's awesome, Professor! Are you learning any new languages now?" Hermione's eyes sparkled.
"Although it was not an announcement or a question, the compliment must be accompanied by the hand as well." Hermione's hand shot up. "Well, not so, at the moment. Being your DADA teacher, I do need to learn better in order to teach you guys more." He chuckled.
"But why are our wands away?" Harry asked, not thinking before asking.
Professor Sawada shot him a glare and Harry knew this man does not like him at all.
"Hand, Mr. Potter." Harry's hand shot up. "Like what Professor Umbridge had said, I think you need to look through your book thoroughly. It is only safe so."
Hermione's hand shot up when Professor Sawada settled on the seat, "Yes, Miss Granger?"
"We are not learning spells? But we need to defend—"
"Do you think you will be attacked in class?"
"No but—"
"Then you have your answer, Miss Granger." Professor Sawada smiled as he flipped open his book, now daring anyone else to disrupt his reading time.
"But Voldermort—" Everyone winced, except Professor Sawada, "—is on the loose! I don't want to sit in lesson and read books when we can be prepping ourselves for them—"
"Hand, Mr. Potter." Harry's hand shot up but Professor Sawada ignored the boy. Everyone else seemed to be on tenterhooks when another hand shot up.
"Yes?" Professor Sawada looked up and analysed the boy a little while before saying, "Mr. Longbottom?"
"Harry is right, sir! If You-Know-Who is still outside—"
"And the ministry did say that Harry Potter was just the Boy-Who-Lied, am I right?"
Harry's hand rose up higher and the professor glanced at him, raising his chin upwards.
"Well! I did not lie! So you think Cedric just dropped dead in the middle of nowhere? So the portkey of the trophy brought us some place to drink butterbeer and when we came back Cedric mysteriously died? DON'T YOU GUYS USE YOUR LOGIC?!" Harry shouted hotly.
Hermione was appalled and she started whispering to Ron. The latter started to tell 'his mate' to calm down but Harry would not hear any of it.
"Why would I want to make up a story about Voldermort? Think!" Harry rose from his seat and was walking towards the professor. ("Wait, Harry!" Hermione squeaked.)
Sawada stood up, putting away his glasses on the books which it gave an indignant squawk. He calmly said, "So? I will believe what the Ministry have said about Voldermort—" Everyone's eyes widened as they winced. "—because they are always right. If people stage to overthrow the Ministry, then there will chaos, am I wrong, Mr. Potter?"
"BUT THEY ARE WRONG!" Harry roared.
"I would think your brain is stuffed with arse, Mr. Potter," Sawada said, eyes turning cold, "Through screaming at me will help, is it not? Are you telling me you do not need this lesson?"
"If you are not teaching real spells and simply just asking us memorise books, then I think that the lesson is useless."
"Spells? For what? The Dark Arts?" Sawada laughed as he fiddled with the chain ring on his fingers, "What for to teach you spells when you don't have the discipline to read the books? What for to teach you spells when most of the Wizarding world are afraid of a man who most has never seen before?" His voice rose, "WHAT FOR TO LEARN SPELLS WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY VOLDERMORT!"
Everyone looked startled, even Harry. He took a step backwards from the professor. The entire class was stunned to silence. They have yet to hear most people say the name of the Dark Wizard of all time and was most probably the first time hearing someone shout the name out loud. Even Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape have not been heard saying the name out at all.
"Fine then, Potter. Since you said that you would not be needing the class, I shall test you." The professor had dropped the formalities, Harry noted.
"Duel with me, and if you win, I'll let you take over this class for as long as you are in the school."
"How was the class with Harry 'Boy-Who-Lied' Potter?" Dolores sipped her sweet tea.
"Ah…" Tsuna grimaced as he smelt the tea, oh gosh how much he hated tea, "It was illuminating."
"How so, Tsuna?" Dolores asked with her sickeningly sweet voice.
"He overstepped his boundaries. He has detention with me for the rest of the week."
"I thought so. Tut, tut." Dolores sipped her tea again, "Why not put him with detention with me?"
Tsuna looked up from the flower tea. He glanced up at the woman with the pink fluffy cardigan. The woman was smiling, drinking the tea. He raised his eyebrows and wondered why the woman would want Harry Potter for detention. He asked the question and got a reply.
I have something to make him listen, Tsuna, was her reply. Tsuna had raised his eyebrows even more. She added on that she would take him only on Thursday, leaving the other three days for him.
Tsuna thought the woman was sick. He had not wanted to have detention with the boy because he wanted to torture him. He wanted the boy for detention to teach him some manners and also to find out about… His eyes were watery and he sniffed.
Dolores Umbridge had moved forward, much closer to Tsuna when she saw Tsuna not replying. She was just barely an inch away from the face. She saw the tears in his eyes.
"Tsuna?" Dolores looked at him worriedly, "Is the tea not to your taste?"
Tsuna being jolted out from the memory glanced at the woman and he backed away, "Er.. I don't really like tea… so.."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Dolores piped, her sickeningly sweet voice annoying Tsuna, "I'll prepare coffee for you! I only have Gearine's* though…"
Thinking about Reborn having bought 10 boxes of Gearine's made Tsuna's stomach lurch. He shook his head kindly and turned away the coffee packet. He saw the time and he told the pink lady that he had something on. He kindly retreated from her office and walked through the hall.
Tsuna walked through the empty halls alone. He met two students from Slytherin who smirked while passing by him and he met Severus. Severus gave him a nod and he returned a smile. The man with oily hair walked away quickly, his cloak trailing behind him.
When he reached the two Gargoyles, he whispered the password and the two statue jumped apart to allow him to go out the staircase. He reached the door and opened the door.
"Tsunayoshi, I see you are here."
"I'm sorry for the tardiness," Tsuna bowed. Reborn will kill me, Tsuna thought.
"How right you are, dame-tsuna."
Tsuna dodged a bullet that was directed at him and the china on the table broke. It shattered into pieces and Tsuna gave the man with a fedora a roundhouse kick. The man chuckled before shooting another round of bullets at Tsuna. Tsuna lunged forward, giving the man a punch on the face (that missed) and then ended off with a axe kick. The man in fedora dodged it all, like how Tsuna dodged all the bullets. The fight would have continued on if not for a voice.
"I would like to continue see your match off but…" A man with messy hair said with caution, "but you guys have 'stapled' us to the wall."
Like what the messy hair man said, the few people in the room were stuck to the wall as bullets lined around their bodies. Their wands were out and a few were looking rather murderous and scandalised.
"I still don't understand why, Albus, you have allowed them to do their 'mission'! They might be his lackeys!" Mad-Eye Moody growled as he magically pulled all the bullets out of the wall and they clanked on the floor.
"Oops, I'm sorry!" Tsuna bowed, in ninety degrees and was not attempting to get up if not for Reborn who hit his head. Tsuna glared at the man in fedora. After his Acrobaleno Curse was removed (which made him stay as infant), his body had been growing but currently only matches that of a fifteen-year-old.
"They looked rather cool!" Nymphadora Tonks exclaimed, clapping her hands together.
Dumbledore chuckled and clapped his hands, "That was quite a show, Tsunayoshi and Mr. Reborn."
"Drop the Mr. , please." Reborn asked.
"Ah, of course, Reborn." The man smiled, "we have some matters to tell Tsunayoshi over here. First of all, we would want to inform him that you will be arriving but apparently you have accidentally burst out from my fireplace." Dumbledore directed his gaze at the man with the fedora who hid a smirk ("That man seemed really strong!" Sirius breathed excitedly).
"Next would be that your Storm and Rain guardians will be arriving in a week's time. They would want me to inform you that your surrogate brother has taken over your workload for the time being till your mission ends."
"Dino-nii-san…" Tsuna's eyes brimmed with tears. Reborn growled at the brunette and muttered that he was to finish his own paperwork when he get back.
"The third thing would be the following actions the Order would be taking. There are a few things I have predicted might happen in the following days and need you to wary of it."
Tsuna nodded as Dumbledore explained his predictions which Moody had commented that Dumbledore's shrewd ideas are more than accurate most of the times. He also explained that Reborn would not be taking part in the school's activities but only serve as a person that Dumbledore has invited from Italy. Reborn will be patrolling the school (for any targets to Tsuna, of course) and will serve as a man that will try to get information (Tsuna sighed sadly thinking that he has an extra person to prowl around the school).
"The last thing…" Tsuna looked up at the man with twinkling eyes which are surprisingly no longer twinkling, "is about the after-effects of changing your Flames to Magic."
I thank you if you added Magic and Flames into your favourites or followed it. Please review if you think that there is much improvement to be made or simply to express how much you feel about this chapter.

yamagoku-love8059amazing, Nyasararu : About the flames thing, whether or not it had vanished completely will be revealed in around chapter 10 or so! So do stay tuned to the story if you want to know:) Read Author's Note if you really want to know! ;)
DaughterofDemeter123, LaLunaLight ,lunardusk : I'm really sorry that the story didn't flow as well as you hoped it did. However, i have already made a change and that will be that if there is a change of POV, there will be FF line break while a timeskip in the same POV will be a '/' instead. However, there are some of the scenes that will happen in different POVs so there they will be an explanation for whatever that happened.
Soul of The World, JackFrost14, ItsNotLikeILoveYou: Thanks! Continue to read and continue to review! :)
