Disclaimer: I thank Rowling and Bisco for creating such wonderful stories. I own not the story, nor the characters. I'm playing with them though and whatever pace they go is mine. ;)
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Setting: HP/Ouran, post-Hogwarts, Ouran Culture Festival Manga Chapter
Pairing: Gen (surprise)
Title: Mayhem and Mischief
Part: 1/1
Warnings: AU, of course. Hitachiin twins-centric
There was no doubt that the Hitachiin twins were the Prankster Kings of Ouran. With their auburn hair and devilishly good looks, they were the source of all untold chaos in the school. Anyone that dared defy them or say so otherwise were given the full humiliating treatment for a month, two weeks if they were feeling merciful. A month of itching powder, smoke bombs, whoopee cushions, fake snakes, the list went on and on. Of course, it wouldn't have been that bad since normally it would only happen in school.
But the thing was, it didn't.
Hamaguchi Kotarou found a decapitated hand under his table during a formal dinner. It turned out to be fake but the piss in his pants was enough to make his potential fiancée break their engagement in disgust. Of course it wasn't a coincidence that earlier this week he'd just called the Hitachiin twins 'a pair of incestuous despicable human beings who would never find romance in any decent person', but no one was able to trace it back to them. He had to apologize in a fit of tears after the eighth prank set his pants on fire in front of another girl.
It was the same with the snotty Ranmaru Aya, who found her prized poodle dyed a ghastly shade of green during a pet fashion show in Paris. Terumi Daiki had a bad case of diarrhea during his trip to Switzerland. Kobayashi Haru had a farting noise follow him all throughout his vacation in Hawaii.
All of them had committed some sort of grievance against the Host Club or the twins. All of them experienced a daily dose of creative pranks that would have impressed them, had they not been the target. And all of them knew that the Hitachiin twins were the culprit, despite the fact that no one could prove it. Why you ask? Because their torture only stopped when they made proper apologies.
"How were you able to hire a pair of trannies to follow Watanabe-san on his skiing trip?" Tamaki asked, goggling at the twins.
Watanabe had insulted Kyouya just last week, stating how he would never be anything by following around in his father's coattails. The retaliation from the twins became some sort of art form for everybody and a source of weird entertainment for the students. Renge was even collecting bets on the next wave of pranks.
Of course, Kyouya couldn't let the insult on his person slide, and dished out his own brand of revenge in secret. But overall, he was contented to let the twins handle it.
"We didn't hire them." Hikaru said, looking up from where they were entertaining girls.
"Really." Kyouya deadpanned.
"Really, really." Kaoru nodded, his pirate hat (they were cosplaying) bobbing up and down.
"We do pranks sure, but we won't follow the dude all the way to the Alps just to terrorize him." Hikaru snorted.
"That's overkill." Kaoru piped up.
Kyouya wanted to say that the swamp that had suddenly appeared near the Newspaper Club room (the twins admitted to making it) after they almost ruined Tamaki's reputation was overkill but he kept silent. They were hosting, so perhaps the twins just didn't want to be overheard.
"But I still wanna know how you prank people!" Tamaki whined.
"A magician never tells his secrets, everybody knows that." Hikaru said cheekily.
"Yep. Otherwise everyone would know, Milord." Kaoru added, then winked. "Right girls?"
The girls, in true fangirl nature, squealed in agreement.
Still, to the whole school the message was clear. Leave the twins and the Host Club alone.
It soon became a habit for people to leave some sort of offering at the door of the Third Music Room, like they were some sort of godlings looking down upon mere mortals. Either for apologies, bribes, or just little tokens of thanks to the twins. Of course, this amused the duo and they'd accept the gift-wrapped pocky or tarts with good grace. Consequently, anyone who left the gifts would then experience a bout of good luck that week, whether in love, money, or family. It didn't happen to anyone random, just those that were on speaking terms with the twins and had left a few goodies for them.
It astonished the whole school.
"People say you're like that cat statue commoners use to attract luck." Tamaki said, curling a hand into a paw-like figure and rocking it back and forth.
"It's called a Maneki-neko, senpai." Haruhi said, listening to Minami-hime gush about how Aidou-senpai had asked her out this morning after she left a pie for the twins at the door. Hani-senpai was currently devouring said pie.
"But seriously. Once is a happenstance. Twice is coincidence. This is the twenty-fifth time this year." Kyouya said, jabbing his pen at the direction of the enamored girl still gushing about her senpai. Normally, he'd never believe in luck and all that rot. But it happened far too often for it to be anything but.
"Well, Dad said he always had a weird case of luck." Hikaru said slowly.
"Your father?" Tamaki asked. It was genetic?
"Yep. Normally it bounces between extremely good luck and extremely bad luck though." Kaoru said.
"Never knew it was contagious." they chorused.
The other Hosts then decided to try their luck with it (pun aside) just out of curiosity. They left little gifts for the twins to find that day. Kyouya handed out the computer game they wanted to play, even if it wasn't supposed to be out in the market for two years. Hani-senpai sent a strawberry shortcake, a little flowery note left on the cake box. Mori got them magazines, those fashion ones that no one knew they read. Tamaki presented them with commoner key chains with a little white dog, Antoinette, hanging as a charm. Even Haruhi tried it and made them a bento each, much to the despair of Tamaki.
Each had been pleased with the results the following week. Kyouya's personal stocks had skyrocketed that week. Hani-senpai was delighted when Chika shoved a Lindeth Howe chocolate cake at him as a present from his field trip to England and proceeded to tell him all about his trip between bites. Mori-senpai had stumbled on a seventeenth century Morinozuka katana that was thought to have been lost in an abandoned shed while looking for Piyo-chan. Tamaki was over the moon when he got to spend a whole day with Haruhi when he got lost in a commoner supermarket. And lastly, Haruhi was pleased when she got a mega discount on seafood from a free scratch card handed to her while doing grocery, even if she had to spend the rest of the day with an overjoyed Tamaki.
"Are you sure you're not aliens?" Tamaki said, poking Hikaru on the cheek.
"Quite sure, Milord." he swatted him away, annoyed. "We're a hundred percent earthlings."
"We can't really explain it but it's just the way it is." Kaoru said.
"I'm just glad this contagious luck of yours only happens once on every person, otherwise we'd be flooded with gifts." Kyouya said. That wouldn't be a really bad thing business-wise, but it was a hassle to deal with all the presents blocking the club room every day. "I think people are getting the hint that you're not some sort of lucky charm. But still, you're now in the list of the 'Seven Secret Wonders of Ouran'. "
"Like an urban legend!" Hani-senpai chirped.
The twins just shrugged.
"Watanabe-san came in today, by the way." Kyouya said, propping his glasses one his face securely.
"Did he make some sort of trouble again?" Kaoru said, eyes glinting.
"Cause if he did…" Hikaru said, leaving the statement hanging.
"No, in fact, he came to apologize." Kyouya said, amused at their protective tones. "And to thank you for beating up the thugs that almost mugged him near the school gates two days ago."
"Ooooh! You did, Hika-chan, Kao-chan?" Hani-senpai beamed at them. Mori nodded in approval.
"Hikaru, Kaoru! Such valiant actions! Truly, you are knights of valor, deserving the highest of praises!" Tamaki declared, whipping out a red rose and posing dramatically, those sparkles of his shining brighter than ever.
"Uh, yeah. It wasn't anything special." Kaoru said.
"Just because he's a douche for saying things to Kyouya-senpai doesn't mean he should get beaten up." Hikaru said, yawning.
The other Hosts smiled. Even though they caused extreme chaos and pandemonium in the school (that always led to destruction of property), no one denied that the twins were kind at heart. They never pranked anyone for no reason, and had a weird sense of righteousness in terms of bullying. Their jokes never went too far, and heaven forbid you bully someone in front of them. If anyone insulted the twins or anyone close to them, they pranked the idiots viciously. But after they apologized, they let bygones be bygones. Hamaguchi, Ranmaru, Terumi, and Kobayashi, those people who they pranked after their harsh words were also the first ones who got their 'lucky week' after they returned on speaking terms with the twins.
The host club never pestered the twins about the odd things happening around them. On how they could sometimes be at one place and appear at the other side of the room in a blink of an eye. Or how frogs rained that one time they were fighting about Haruhi and Belzeneef. Or how that swamp appeared out of nowhere. They just chalked it up to one of the weird things about the host club, like the way sparkles and rose petals followed Tamaki wherever he went and how Hani could eat sweets five times his size in one sitting.
Tamaki in particular, was fond of the Hitachiin brothers. He met the twin terrors when they were still in middle school, and he wanted them on the Host Club. They were the only ones whom he asked that didn't give him any sort of trouble. Kyouya, Mori and Hani-senpai had been difficult to convince but the just twins did their odd 'twin communication' thing and smirked at him.
"Sure." the one on the right, he was sure it was Hikaru, said.
"Why not." Kaoru at the left, said.
"Just make sure-"
"-that it's worth our time-"
"-milord." they declared together.
Tamaki's smile was the brightest Kyouya had seen that day.
The twins made frogs rain indoors. They created swamps from thin air. They could appear out of nowhere. But everyone was fond of them, so it was fine.
Ouran High School Cultural Festival. It was one of the major yearly highlights of the esteemed academy, not only because every student would be doing their best to create and establish an event that would capture attention, but because their parents would also be in attendance.
And that meant every single powerful person in the society world was in attendance.
"It's also a marketing ploy." Kyouya had told Haruhi as they all gathered in the Third Music Room to cancel their daily hosting because of the festival. "Everyone has connections and therefore wants their associates, allies, and even rivals to see their heirs in a good light."
"You make us sound like show dogs, Kyouya-senpai." the twins said, putting up their Antoinette keychains.
"During this event, we might as well be." Kyouya smirked.
So here she was, dressed in a fancy-looking vest, looking lost among the sea of glitter and finery.
"So many rich people." Haruhi murmured, trying to make sure she didn't stare too long at one person. She already counted eight actors and actresses, two high-profile politicians, and twelve businessmen among the parents her classmates introduced to her.
The event they were doing was a bit easy, it had a detective theme so they borrowed one of the European-styled sitting rooms and had casino games to make it harder. Haruhi volunteered to be one of the assistants since she didn't have anything else to do.
"Ah! Haruhi!" Hikaru waved at her. "Himeno-san wants you to assist her!"
"Coming!" she said, making her way to the giggling girl.
"Haruhi!" an arm shot in front of her and pulled.
"What the- Tamaki-senpai?"
"Haha, surprised?" the Host Club king winked. He was wearing a commoner salesman's robe with great relish, which means-
"Our class is doing a commoner's kiosk! Come and see!"
-just as she thought.
"Ooooh, does it have those commoner festival games?" a cheerful voice interrupted.
"Hani-senpai?" she blinked at the sight of Mori-senpai and Hani-senpai in carnivale costumes, the little blonde perched on his cousin's shoulders.
"We were watching a cake store!" Hani beamed.
"Hey Milord, what- and Mori-senpai and Hani-senpai too!" Hikaru said, eyes wide in surprise.
"What are you all doing here?" Kaoru said, wrestling himself from the crowd.
"We got time off." Mori said.
"Same here!" Tamaki beamed.
"Ah, Hikaru, Kaoru, Haruhi!" their class president waved them over. "You can get time out too! We've got enough guests to handle!"
"Kaichou, are you sure?"
"We'll be fine! Just go along with the Host Club and make nice!" he said and disappeared among the crowd.
"Well I guess that means we can roam around together." Haruhi said, watching her classmates move around easily. Everything seems to be handled and she could see Himeno-san halfway through the game, being assisted by someone else.
They made their way around the throng of people as a group, waving here and there and stopping once in a while in greeting whenever they see a familiar face with their parents.
"The only one missing is Kyouya." Tamaki said. "He'd probably be at the Central Saloon."
"Should we go get him?" Haruhi asked.
"Naah, let's go to Milord's event!" Kaoru cheered.
"I wanna duck for apples!"
"Catch a fish too!"
"Toss the ring!"
"Hikaru? Kaoru?"
Everyone turned at the female voice. Haruhi's eyes widened at the familiar-looking face, although feminine. She looked youthfully lovely, slim yet tall, and her hair was styled in a stylish pixie cut that highlighted her face.
"Mom!" the twins raced to the beautiful woman, their eyes delighted.
"Oh, goodness! One at a time." she laughed as she hugged one twin, then the other.
As they exchanged greetings, Haruhi was struck with how much the twins and their mother looked alike. The same hair color, shade of eyes, and bone structure. They smiled the same way, with their foreheads lightly crinkling in amusement. They even laughed alike, filled with mirth and a teasing lilt in it. She was their spitting image.
"Oh, I haven't seen Aunt Yuzuha for a long time!" Hani said, bouncing at Mori's shoulder. "Is their father coming? I've never met Hikaru and Kaoru's papa before."
"Ah." Mori-senpai shrugged.
"Mom, come meet Haruhi!"
"We'll adopt her someday, so you must remember her!"
Haruhi was startled as she was unceremoniously dragged to the twins' mother, who was giving her a beautiful smile. She had barely been able to utter a 'pleased to meet you' before she was assessed carefully from top to bottom, the twins' mother patting her vest and arranging her ribbon, making comments on her hair and measurements.
"Make sure to come to our house, okay? I have a dress I want you to try out! And call me Aunt Yuzuha!" she beamed before catching sight of the watching hosts, fluttering to their side. "Oh! Tamaki! And Hani-kun and Mori-kun, too!"
"Sorry about that!" Kaoru said, flinging an arm at her.
"She's a bit flighty and energetic." Hikaru added, posing himself at her other side.
"You really look a lot like your mother." Haruhi commented as she watched Yuzuha-san scrutinize Tamaki's commoner get-up. "You act like her too."
"Oh, do we? I'm afraid our looks are the only thing we got from her."
"Really." she said flatly. She didn't think that anyone could act more like the twins than their mother.
"Uh huh." Kaoru waggled his eyebrows at her. "I'm afraid we got our personality from our dad's-"
"Sirius. James."
"-side of the family."
The rest of Kaoru's sentence was said in a smaller, distracted tone as they craned their necks to the source of the pleasantly masculine voice. The twins' eyes widened and the arms around Haruhi's shoulder went slack.
"Dad!"
"You came!"
Unlike their mother, the twins' father accepted their tackled hugs at the same time, not caring that his pristine suit got wrinkled, a rumbled laughter erupting from his chest. The twins held on for a moment -squeezing him- then let go at the same time, chattering a mile a minute. Surprise flitted through Haruhi's face as she stared at the twins' father.
Like their mother, their father looked very young, although his had more of a timeless edge to his face, a permanence that confused Haruhi. He was also slight and had the same build as the twins, although taller and a bit more broad-shouldered. His hair was very messy, perhaps the only other trait the twins got from him, because their similarities ended there.
He had vivid green eyes that were hidden behind square glasses, his features European like Tamaki-senpai's. He was also very handsome, in a roughish sort of way. He carried himself gracefully, not like Tamaki who had to perfect his walk and gait, but a grace that was almost careless and done unconsciously. More than one eye was drawn to him, and she could see a few women admiring his frame.
"Hari, I was just talking to Hikaru and Kaoru's friends! They should come to the house more often." Yuzuha said, smiling at her husband.
"Ah, is that so? Well, I see no reason to refuse." Hitachiin Hari said, casually cuffing his sons at the head. "Come on, you little brats. Introduce me to your friends."
It was said jokingly with a touch of fondness, and Haruhi could see the twins looked up to their father very much.
Haruhi found that the twins' father was very likeable. His eyes warmed at the Hosts and he accepted their introductions with calm amusement, even Tamaki's flamboyant display and Hani's childish greetings. His face was one of gentle sincerity and the Hosts felt contented as he smiled at them all, a bubbly feeling of happiness growing in each of them, like how one would feel after you've been praised for something you've worked hard on.
"Uncle Hari, you called Kao-chan and Hika-chan 'Sirius' and 'James' earlier." Hani-senpai said.
"Ah, that's because it's their English names. Hikaru's name in English is Sirius Gregory and Kaoru's is James Fredrick." Hari said, green eyes twinkling. "I'm from England you see, and I adapted Yuzuha's surname when I came to Japan."
"Dad's a Peverell." the twins remarked.
A lightbulb 'dinged' in Tamaki's head.
"Hari… Peverell… Hadrian Peverell?!" Tamaki gaped, his voice carrying over the din.
It made all conversation stop as eyes trailed over their party. For a moment, there was silence. Then murmurs buzzed all over as people connected the Suoh heir's outburst to the unknown man between the Hitachiin twins.
"Did he just say Hadrian Peverell?"
"The Lord Peverell?"
"It can't be… must be mistaken-"
"Oh dear, we're causing a ruckus." Hari chuckled as Yuzuha clutched his arm. "Best make our way out."
Some of the hosts were confused but nodded, as they could see that the hyenas around them were minutely hesitating on approaching them because they were still unsure on his identity. But once they got confirmation they would pounce. They didn't give anyone the chance to recover as they darted away, faster than walking but not quite running, hoping to outrun the grapevine and that not many would hear that this 'Hadrian Peverell' was in Ouran.
"That was fun!" the twins chorused, faced flushed as they threw themselves on their usual couch at the Third Music Room.
"So this is your club room? It's not much different to the other rooms we passed." Their father looked around the extravagant designs, face thoughtful.
"We change them when we cosplay, but… um…" Tamaki paused. "… are you really Lord Hadrian Peverell?"
"I didn't know my name was quite known to children your age." Hari said as he sat beside his wife, accepting the cup of tea Hani-senpai offered.
"Oh, but it is dear! Parents talk and someone as elusive as you would make you even more mysterious." Yuzuha said.
"Yeah. You're quite a recluse, old man." Hikaru said.
"Practically a hermit." Kaoru snickered.
"Shut it, you little devils." Hari said, chuckling.
They began introductions and Haruhi learned quite a lot about the twins' parents that day. Their mother was the president of her own fashion empire and other companies in the beauty industry, from designer labels to perfume. She supposed that's where the twins' sense of aesthetics came from. Hikaru and Kaoru were always in charge of costume design during cosplays, and even applied make-up on her like a pro.
Their father, on the other hand was a bit more complicated.
"Dad's got two names. Like us!" Hikaru said, pointing at himself and his twin.
"To get rid of much publicity, I had to be an unknown when I married Yuzuha." Hari told them. "Otherwise people would never leave me alone."
"That sounds difficult." Haruhi said.
Hari smiled at her. "It was. I was just thankful I was able to change surnames. It was made easier when my wife was the only heir of her family." He then turned to said wife with loving eyes. "And I thank you every day for putting up with all the headache I brought along."
Yuzuha rolled her eyes. "I knew what I was signing up for when I married you."
The twins made retching sounds.
"Get a room, guys!"
"Parents into PDA. My eyes!"
"You little hellions." Their father flung a throw pillow at them.
Hari-san then explained that as Hitachiin Hari, he was a software executive, and was in the process of creating a conversion formula to transform a new source of newly-discovered energy into electricity. The technical jargons went over their head but they enjoyed listening to his voice, the twins' witty banter interrupting him once in a while.
"And no one realized who you were?" Hani-senpai said in astonishment.
"I'm good at blending in the background when it suits me." Hari-san replied.
Haruhi found that hard to believe. Hari-san was good-looking and it would take a lot of effort not to notice him. Hari-san saw their doubtful looks but just gave that half-smile of his and continued to talk.
As Hadrian Peverell, he was much more known. Haruhi was surprised at just how much. He was pretty much a household name in wealthy families. The twins were riffling through a Forbes Magazine and pointed at an article on their father, which had no picture available. Haruhi read the article, which painted Hari-san as some sort of miracle business tycoon, whizzing through stocks and shares without hitting a bad deal or market crash in his investments. He had claim on four Lordships and a Duchy in Europe, all of them thought extinct until he proved his relations. The Peverell name was very much involved in business, lands and mining, wineries and farms. He was also involved in a civil unrest in England, but the way Hari-san explained it was clipped and short; a topic he didn't want to broach.
"Dad has a lot of connections in high places. So people swarm him." Hikaru said sourly.
"Granted, I didn't know your aunt and uncles counted as connections. They were family, so it was a surprise for me." Hari-san said.
"Of course, dad. You're clueless." Kaoru said, patting his shoulder in a patronizing way.
"So just because you hide yourself people crowd around you?" Hani-senpai said.
Hari-san gave a rueful smile. "Not many people make it this far without stretching themselves thin. So people are intrigued at how I manage my businesses without wanting attention on myself. Usually, it's either you make yourself famous or be shunned and forgotten. You have to be known. In the world of the elite, attention means opportunities and opportunities means money or power. Remember that."
Haruhi grimaced. What Hari-san was saying made sense. She didn't like being in the spotlight herself but if she was aiming to be a lawyer as great as her mother, she had to take cases that were of high-profile someday.
"Anyway. It looks like the cat's out of the bag now. I'm just glad I finished my project before things got out." Hari said, then looked at a disturbed Tamaki. "And don't look too worried Tamaki-san. I already had plans in revealing myself."
"Things will be exciting for Hika-chan and Kao-chan too!" Hani-senpai said.
"Problematic too." Mori-senpai added.
"Oh great. More people flattering us for favors." the twins said sarcastically. Then they smiled devilishly. "Not like we couldn't prank them…"
Hari-san gave a long-suffering groan while his wife just laughed along with Hani and Tamaki.
"Just make sure not to blow anything up. If I get another letter from Yuzuru…"
"Why daddy, it's like you don't trust us." they blinked innocently.
"I don't trust you not to corrupt your sister." Hari snorted. He watched as the other boys exploded at the revelation that they had a younger sister, amused as the one called Tamaki turned gloomy and settled into a fetal position at a startlingly dark corner of the room, muttering something about 'keeping secrets from the family'.
The twins cackled and jeered at the pathetic look on the blonde's face, throwing crumpled papers at him, and Harry shared a bemused look with his wife. Hikaru and Kaoru were a handful, they had been that way ever since they were young. But it wasn't as if his children were cruel. Sure, their accidental magic happened way too much to be considered 'accidental', and they seemed to have gotten the short end of the famous Potter luck, and they looked and acted so much like another pair of twins that it made him drink just imagining the years ahead. But they were good kids.
"Fine, Milord. We'll bring her over one day."
They were good kids, really.
"Just wipe the snot off your face. You look disgusting."
He just wished that his twins would act less like they were being possessed by their namesakes all the time.
So in the end all was fine and dandy, with the Cultural Festival ending with little drama (even if Tamaki was disappointed at being unable to see his grandmother). They got open invitations to the twins' estate and the duo even promised not to rig the doors with dung bombs, which was a positive note in their future house visit. They were all about to leave when an evil aura tingled their senses.
"Uh… did we forget something?"
The front door opened with a bang. In all his glory, Low Blood Pressure Evil Overlord Kyouya loomed over them. They scuttled together like rabbits, shivering.
"Hikaru. Kaoru." the devil intoned. "You never told me your father was the Lord Peverell."
"W-Well, Kyouya-senpai. We hear you fangirling about him-"
"-so it was kinda awkward-"
"-'cause how do you tell your dad-"
"-that a senpai at school had a crush on him- EEK!"
The twins' last thought as Kyouya's folder smacked them squarely in the forehead was that they may have underestimated how much the Evil Overlord admired their business tycoon of a father.
OMAKE:
Ageha-chan
Never let it be said that the Hitachiins didn't keep their promises.
One day the twins came in the club carrying an adorable four-year old. She had wide green eyes, auburn hair, and a forehead that crinkled in cute amusement. Her name was Hitachiin Ageha, and she loved butterflies and flowers, had her brothers' blunt personality, and followed Tamaki around like a faithful little duckie.
And she added more colorful chaos to their lives.
"Gah! Milord, give her back!"
"Stop stealing other people's little sisters!"
"We'll team up with Nekozawa-senpai and slap you with a restraining order!"
"KYA! There's a frog on my lap!"
"There's something slimy on my hair!"
"There's something moving inside my skirt! HENTAI!"
Little Ageha made frogs rain indoors. She created koi ponds from thin air. She could appear out of nowhere. But everyone was fond of her, so it was fine.
OMAKE:
Koi ponds
"Portable koi ponds?" twin voices echoed around the dusty backroom of the shop.
"Yep! Bloody brilliant, right kids? Another variety of the portable swamp. It's cleaner, doesn't smell like underpants, and comes with authentic fishes!"
"We figured that since Harry's not getting over being all-Asian these days, why not stretch our business to more interested clientele?"
"Neat."
Toothy smiles appeared on four mischievous gingers.
"So boys, since you're so interested in continuing our legacy, as well as your grandpop's and his merry band of misfits-"
"-might you be interested in running our new Japanese store branches?"
An ominous chill raised the hairs on Harry's neck.
OMAKE:
Little Lords
"Wait. If your father is a lord..."
The twins waited patiently as Tamaki's brain connected the pieces together.
"... then that makes you hellions lords too."
"Technically, we only inherit if he dies." Kaoru said, enjoying another round of 'Tormenting Tamaki'.
"But didn't dad say he'd be handing a title to us since his name is such a mess?"
"Yeah, what was it now? Potter-Black-Peverell-Gryffindor..."
"You forgot two more."
"Oh yeah."
"You little devils!" Tamaki shrieked at them, anime tears pouring out of his eyes. "You've been calling me 'Milord' when you're the ones who's going to be lords! How can you be so cruel?!"
"Which one was that again?"
"Dunno, ask dad."
"I WANNA BE A REAL LORD TOO! OR A KING! THAT'S HIGHER THAN A LORD SO THAT'LL SHOW YOU MEANIES!"
A/N: Haha, don't worry Tamaki. It's said in the manga that your father would've been ruling behind a folding screen had this been ancient times so you have Genji royal blood in your veins, da? ^^
Woohoo, I finished it. So to explain it, Yes, Hikaru is named Sirius Gregory Potter and Kaoru is James Frederick Potter. I know Fred and George's names are permanent like that, but it didn't sound good meshing them together like Sirius George (sounds like Curious George) or James Fred (shudders). The inspiration from this story came from the fact that I can't help but draw similarities from Gred and Forge and Hikaru and Kaoru so wouldn't it be fun if Harry's squished in there somewhere? I can only imagine his horror that his firstborn are twin gingers and Fred and George laughing in the background. Plus, their father wasn't given much of a background story in the manga so I worked around it.
So what do you think? Reviews are love. Reviews are life.
~Review!~
