Chapter 3: The First Meeting
Tsuna and his Family arrived in Italy late in the evening, and most of them are tired and body stiff as they had to sit for a long hours during the flight, well not quite if included all the chaos they've created during the flight.
By the time the airplane landed, Lambo and I-pin rushes to the door, as they want to be the first to get out from the plane. Ryohei who can't wait to get out from the plane, shout loudly like a madman "WE ARE HERE TO THE EXTREMEEEE!" and started walking behind Lambo and I-pin.
Tsuna walked as he hunched his body, his butt and back are in pain and his face shows clearly how tired he was. He was walking slowly when suddenly someone kicked his butt from behind. Stumble forward, he fell as face first hit on the floor.
"OWWEEEEE…," Tsuna scream in pain as he grabs his nose, kneeling on the floor. He then turns around only to see Hibari with his calm, scary face. Tsuna goes pale and his sweat drops.
"Don't block people behind, I hate it. I'll bite you to death," claimed the Cloud Guardian calmly as he take his tonfas and aimed at Tsuna who still kneeling. Tsuna stand in instance and moves faster, getting away from Hibari.
"Kufufufufu…mean as always," Mukuro smirks as he walks behind Hibari, this cause Hibari to turn around and in position to attack as Mukuro is ready with his trident. The two guardians are waiting to strike each other when suddenly a green cane with yellow eyes cut in the middle of those two. From the corner of their eyes they could see Reborn with his fendora hat covered part of his face, and he didn't looks happy. "Baby," Hibari speak as he withdraw himself from the little battle and turn to walk to the exit.
Mukuro looks at the Arcobaleno hitman and smirk; he too walks towards the exit.
As all of them coming out from the plane, a voice loud enough to crack all the mirrors in the airport calls for them.
"VOOOIIIIIIIIIII…, TRASH! WHAT TAKES YOU SO LONG!" yelled a familiar voice that they didn't hear for couple of years, waiting for them at the airport.
"Ushishishishishishi….the weaklings are here," another familiar voice are hear.
Tsuna gawks and flinches as he sees the Varia are there, waiting for them at the airport. Bel was about to step forward when he saw Hibari who looks straight at him, stopped and turns around, and stand next to Mammon. He had heard about Hibari's reputation for the last couple of years, in which the Cloud Guardian was getting lot stronger than before.
"What's the matter, Bel? Can't face them," teased the Mist Arcobaleno as Belphegor turns to him, veins twitching and ready to aim his knives at the tiny Varia.
"VOOIIII…WILL YOU TWO STOP THAT! Squalo shouted loudly at the two Varias in which startle most of them as Lambo and I-pin held on Tsuna's legs, afraid of the long-haired swordsman.
"Oy…Squalo, how are you?" Yamamoto greets Squalo, the carefree young swordsman smile at him as if nothing is happen, and this pissed Squalo pretty much.
"VOOIII…DON'T ACT TOO COCKY HERE! I'LL SLASH YOU!" Squalo yelled again, only to be silent as a gun was aim at his face.
"Shut up, Trash." Xanxus spoke as Levi smirk.
"Boss, do you want any wine or something?" Levi tries to please his boss as Bel and Mammon taunted him.
"Ushishishishishishi…the butt-licker does anything to please the boss, weak as always." Bel mocks him as Mammon smirks. Levi was piss as the veins in his head begins to twitch.
"WHO DO YOU CALLS WEAK!" Levi shouted at them when suddenly he got knock hard in the gut and within seconds he passes out. "Don't shout near me, Trash," said Xanxus as he put his gun back. Bel and Mammon smirks as they look at the unconscious Varia.
"Alright everyone, what are you waiting for, let's go." Another high-pitch, annoying voice are heard from the Varia. Lussuria walks toward the Vongola 10th family as he greets each and one of them, and being nice to Lambo and I-pin who are the youngest in the group and gives them each sweets and candy bags, which surprises the rest of them.
"Oi…Lussuria, how come you never give us sweets and candy bags, or even a gift?" Bel asks the green-haired fellow assassin.
"Mhmmmm…aren't you too old for sweet and candy, but if you wants a free gift, the paper rolls in the bathroom are always free, so you can have it as many as you want," Lussuria simply answered him and this has make Bel very piss as his veins begins to twitch.
"Damn you weirdo…," groans the very piss Prince the Ripper.
"Tag along everyone, no need to fight here," speak the weird, green-haired Varia assassin again.
Gokudera and Ryohei gawks at him as Lussuria grabs both of them in the arms and drag them along with him as the two of them didn't have time to protest.
And somehow, the job of bringing the unconscious Levi was left for Bel to handle, as the rest of them didn't bother to carry him.
All of them leaves the airport, going to the Vongola's headquarters, and don't expect that they will have a quiet journey all the way there. Not since all of them had to shares the same vehicle to go back to the headquarters.
Meanwhile
Hermione is having her rest in the guest room that had been prepared for her; she arrived in Italy late in the afternoon. The journey from England to Italy took about less than two hours, and they have to drive from the airport to the Vongola's headquarter, hidden somewhere in the countryside and far away from Italy's busiest cities.
She just took her short shower and changes her clothes and lying on the bed when someone knocked the door. A maid is bringing her some drink and biscuits. Then proceed to take any dirty laundry from the shower room. Hermione say her thank to the maid as she left the room and leave Hermione to get some rest.
Hermione find out that the Cavallone Family is one of the Vongola allies and Dino the current boss of the Cavallone. He seems to be such a nice guy and taking care of his men's needs.
And the Vongola 9th seems to be a nice, decent old man, welcome her with open arms and show his respects to his guest, even though that she is way much younger than him.
"So, that's the Vongola 9th, I wonder how does he know about me, and surprisingly he even knew I'm a witch. I haven't told anyone else besides Dino and his men, and I believe that they didn't tell anyone about it. But he seems too nice, and I don't know but my heart feels that I could trust him, he even promises not to tell anyone about it. I wonder who told him about me, because he seems to know a lot about me, except that he didn't speak much of my school year. I think I should ask him how he knows that much about me." Hermione remembering the first moment she arrived at the headquarters and was greeted by an old man, who introduced himself as the Vongola 9th and then proceed to the meeting room where the old man explain everything, well almost everything, to her and urges her to get her rest first before their next meeting again.
Hermione's thought begins to draw some plan on asking the old man as she stare at the room's ceiling and she realized how big the room was, much bigger than the girl's dormitory back in Hogwarts, and it was nicely decorated with light blue paint on the wall and cream-peach ceiling. And the bed was exquisite, expensive, and queen-sized with light purple mattress, made from fine materials.
And within minutes, the former Gryffindor Princess felt asleep as tiredness takes over her.
After couple of hours
Hermione awake from her slumber as someone's knock on her door. Looking at the watch, it is already 7:30 p.m. "Crap, I must have fallen asleep." Hermione get up from the bed and walks toward the door, outside a man in suit are waiting for her.
"Miss Granger, how are you feeling? Boss would like you to join us for dinner in half an hour," said the man in suit as Hermione smile and nods her head. After the man take his leave, Hermione rushes to take a short shower, since she is still clean before felt asleep.
After her shower, she takes her sleeveless maroon dress that she bought with her mother about a month ago while on holiday in France, applies less make-up and didn't bother to wear any jewellery, and fix her hair into a bun. She was almost ready when there's a knock in her door. Making sure that everything's perfect and ready, she opened the door and surprise to see Dino in suit, and she did admit he looks handsome.
Dino could feel that his breathe are taken away by her beauty. She didn't wear much make-up or putting any jewellery yet she is beautiful. Tries to control his cool around her, he nods his head and asked her if she is ready for the dinner. Hermione smile as she says yes. Hermione then leave her room and as she shut the door, Dino offers his hand to take hers.
Taking his hand, Hermione suddenly feels so nervous. This is the first time she will have a dinner with a total strangers who she hardly know, she may knew Dino for few days but she never had dinner with him before, and this is kind of awkward for her. Being the guest at the big mansion was never come across her mind before and now having dinner with people who are so powerful. Hermione knew about them, Dino and the Vongola 9th had informed her about who they are, but since they wanted her to join them for the intention to do good, she didn't refuse, knowing that not all mafia are mean to do harm, maybe. But what surprising her most is that she never even imagines that a mafia organization is interested with her, and willing to offer some partnership with her, even though she is not a mafia herself. She even wonders what had got into her; agree of joining the organization without knowing what the consequences are in the future.
But what she didn't know is that she is not the only person who join the Vongola 9th at the dinner table as she was asleep hours ago when Tsuna and his guardians arrives at the headquarter, along with the Varia.
At the dining hall
Tsuna and the rest of his guardians still tired from the journey, even Lambo and I-pin almost fell asleep on the dining table. All of them didn't have much rest after arrived from Japan, and the journey from the airport back to the headquarters with the Varia was the worst of all.
During their journey, Gokudera alongside Ryohei had engaged in a shouting competition against Bel and Squalo while Lussuria and Yamamoto seem to be the judges, well more like it. Tsuna had to sit next to Xanxus, whose guns keep aiming at him. Lambo and I-pin had a jumping competition on Levi's unconscious body, since they are not allows jumping on the seat. Chrome and Mammon had a glaring competition, in which it really surprised Tsuna that Chrome did not back off at all and wonder if Mammon could really see Chrome from that some sort of hat since he had half of his face covered with it.
Only Reborn, Bianchi, Mukuro, Hibari, Ken and Chikusa enjoyed their journey, quietly, without being disturbs, eventually.
After they have arrives, they were given about less than two hours rest before they were asked to join for the dinner. None of them knew that the guest of honor had arrives and already took her rest. Not even the Varia knew anything about her.
On the dining table, they've wait patiently as they could see Romario was there as well, only Dino who is missing from the dining hall. Even the Vongola 9th and his guardians didn't arrive yet at the dining hall.
"Romario-san, may I ask, where is Dino-san?" Tsuna begins to wonder as the whereabouts of the Cavallone young boss.
"Oh…well, he got some work to do, he'll be joining us in a moment," Romario replied with a smile in his face.
Moment later, a maid open the dining hall's main door as Dino enters, alongside with a beautiful young woman in a sleeveless maroon dress. Almost all eyes set on her as she tries to control of her nervousness. All of the Vongola, and includes the Varia, look at her with amaze as she sits between Tsuna and Dino, opposites of Mukuro and Xanxus. All the Vongola 10th family whom just suffered from tiredness suddenly sprung in freshness as if they had taken a good long rest. Hermione was never this nervous before, not even when she was accepted to enter Hogwarts about 8 years ago. Most of the men, a young woman, and two children, are looking at her, and she didn't recognized most of them, apart from Romario and Dino whom she had known for almost a week now.
Dino then introduce her to the rest of the guest, or should we said, the rest of the Vongola family, includes the Varia. Hermione is surprise to see Levi's unconscious body among the guest at the dinner table; until Lussuria explains to her that they have to drag him along, boss' order. Hermione nods her head understandingly.
Mukuro had set his eyes on the beauty in front of him, much to Xanxus and Dino's displeases, but he simply ignored them. Mukuro also realizes that Hermione is not into heavy make-up or making herself looks exquisite, but yet her simple yet charming already brings out the beauty in her. He somehow could sense that this Hermione was no ordinary young woman, as if she had some hidden talents within her.
Tsuna learns that Hermione was from England, and she was the same age as him, 19 years old, which also the same age with Gokudera, Yamamoto, Haru and even Kyoko, only that those two are not here.
Tsuna tries to guess whether Hermione was the mysterious person that the Vongola 9th had mentioned earlier, a person that will work and train together with them. But Hermione seems so fragile, and she doesn't look like she had been engage in a battle before. Her flawless, beautiful, smooth skins with no scars whatsoever didn't shows that she is a fighter, or ever involves in a fight before. So, Tsuna tries to brush Hermione off as the mysterious person they got to work with.
Xanxus looks at Hermione with full interest as his smirks already scares Tsuna and Hermione feels quite uncomfortable herself with the attention she had received. She tries to avoid his gaze but everywhere she looks all eyes are fixed on her, and some are even brave enough to flirt with her.
Mukuro could feel the discomfort coming from the gorgeous brunette in front of him. Knowing that silence will not help to solve everything he tries to engage in a conversation with her, which he manages to draw her attention.
Dino, Xanxus and Tsuna could only listen as Mukuro and Hermione talk, even though not much of a topics they could engage into but Dino knew sooner or later Hermione will need to have a conversation with them as they are going to be working together soon, so he let this moment to be a good starter for her, even though it just coming from one person from the 10th family.
Xanxus could only glares at Mukuro for his boldness in getting her attention, but the Mist Guardian simply brush it away, he fear nothing from the Varia boss. Since Mukuro ignored him and continues to have the conversation with the beauty in front of them, he turns his attention to Tsuna, who sits next to her. Tsuna flinches and he tries to looks somewhere else but everywhere he looks most gazes are aimed at the beauty next to him, as if they are looking at him as well.
Moments later, the door opens as Vongola 9th and his guardians enter the dining hall. All of them include Hermione and the still unconscious Levi, who had been lifted up by Lussuria and surprisingly a very pissed Bel, to show some respects for the old boss.
As all of them have taken their seat, the Vongola 9th begins his welcome speech to his entire guest and especially to Hermione as she is a total stranger among them, and since she is not from a mafia family herself.
"And since all of you have meet and know each other, I would like to inform to all of you, especially Vongola 10th and his family, that from nowadays, Miss Granger here will work and train with all of you, so I want each and every one of you to make her feels welcome. And yes, she is not from any mafia family or a mafia herself, but she can be your greatest asset. And one thing I want each and one of you to bear in mind, don't try to underestimates her, for she had faces lots of obstacles, just likes yourself. And I hope I had make myself clear here." Vongola 9th speaks to his entire guests as most of them nod their head.
When hearing the Vongola 9th speech, Hermione couldn't help but to flinch a little, she didn't except that the Vongola 9th had such high expectation towards her and she was a bit embarrass when all eyes are fixed upon her as she tries to hid her blush by lowering her face a little, but still managed to keep herself up. She then feel so nervous that she could hear her heart beat very well, and somehow help comes in form of a friend as Dino held her hand firmly and calm her down. She glances at the young Cavallone boss and give him a genuine smiles, which makes him fluster and blush a little.
Tsuna seems to curse upon himself for his little prejudice towards her at first, and quite embarrass of himself to think of such thing. By first glance, she looks just like an ordinary people, but somehow deep in his heart, Tsuna believes that Hermione was more than that, and even his own heart tells that Hermione was somehow an extraordinary person. And he is looking forward to work with her.
"Father what about us? Are we going to work with her as well?" it seems that Xanxus doesn't want to be left behind as well as he still keeps his eyes on her. Dino, Tsuna and even Mukuro somehow manages to glare at the Varia boss as the rest of the Varia, except Levi who is still unconscious, lean over to hear the of what the Vongola 9th would say.
"It's depending; if you are to work with Vongola 10th family then you will be working with her as well, if she's agree to work with you." Vongola 9th states his answers, making most of the Varia smirks and Xanxus keep glancing at the gorgeous brunette, making her so nervous she wish she could hide under the table, if they let her to do so. But then, since the Vongola 9th had trusted her, she had to proves to them that she is worthy for them using everything she had, her talents, intelligence, knowledge, ability and even if she had to use her witch power as the last resort.
Tsuna and the rest of his family, except for Mukuro, are trying to figure out how to start a conversation with her, and how are they going to bring her to their world where unknown situation can happen anytime and violence and fights sometimes are necessary, even though that is the first thing they wish to avoid the most, especially if facing a bloodthirsty enemy.
Even though they had no idea on how to bring her into their world at first, but they are more than happy to welcome her into their family. And each and one of them, includes Lambo and I-pin, are happy to have her with them.
"From this moment on, Miss Hermione Jean Granger is officially part of the Vongola 10th Family, which makes her part of the Vongola family itself. Cheers for Miss Granger," Vongola 9th makes his final announcement as all of them cheers for Hermione who is now part of the strongest mafia family.
Mukuro couldn't help but smile upon the beauty in front of him. Not only she had mesmerized him, in whom he never felt such feeling before when facing a woman, he could feel that she was an extraordinary person and a secret well hidden inside her, and his eyes couldn't get off her as he find her to be an interesting woman.
"This is going to be an interesting moment." Mukuro begins to think in his mind as the maids begin to serve their food and all of them begin to devour their meal.
"Let's hope that everything will turn out well," was the only things that are playing in Hermione's mind as she begins to eat her food, and didn't realize that the blue-haired man in front of her had been watching her with full interest.
Mukuro can't wait to start working with her. Not only that, seems that he already got himself some competition from others who wish to gain her attention, and he is going to work harder to earn it, no matter what the cost is.
I hope that you guys enjoy reading this chapter, a bit crappy though but I've tried my best, so please comment. I just want to make something different, and in this part what I meant when Hermione is now part of the Vongola is that because she is going to work and train with them, but she is no guardians, and I'm sure some of you wonder how the Vongola 9th knew that she is a witch, well you have to wait for that, I will write but can't tell which chapter though so you guys have to wait…anyway this Hermione/Mukuro pairing as that is my main idea of this story and Hermione and Dino are just friends (pls don't hate me), so sorry if any of you think that this is a Hermione/Dino pairing, and if any of you wish to see other pairing please let me know, I'll try my best. So please enjoy…and before I forgot I wish to apologize earlier because I might a bit sometime to write the new chapter as I am going to take some time to think of an idea, so please forgive me if the new chapter is taking a longer time…
