Chapter 4 Back to the Dursley's
Inside Urahara's shop, Byakuya and his reborn wife were in a room for themselves. He was glad to say that she remembered everything up to the point of where she got sick. They were laying in the same bed together. Hisana was blushing deeply at being so close to the man and Byakuya felt mildly amused at seeing his small wife so nervous in their position. Her head was lying agains Byakuya's chest. Clothed chest, mind you. She didn't even want to imagine her reaction if he wasn't. There were several things about soul society that she couldn't remember, but she was glad to have him back. There was one person in particular, she was dying to meet again.
"Byakuya-sama?"
"Hmm?"
"When will I get to see Rukia. She is my sister, after all."
Byakuya thought about his answer for a second. "As soon as you are able to get your zanpak-to."
"Hmm. Then that means I need to go back to England. The sword is still at my school."
"Your school. Where is that located? Perhaps I or Renji could get it for you."
"That would be nice, but the thing is, I don't technically know where it's located. I know how to get there, it's just hard to explain. I've always gone there by a train. And I don't know if he would allow you to touch him."
Byakuya stared down at her and waited for her to elaborate.
"Well, I don't know any easier way to explain as to why I don't know, other than to tell you about my new life. You see, my school, it's called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and it's not plotted on any known worldly maps that I am aware of. You have to have been there to know where it's at."
"Witchcraft."
"Yeah, magic. It's kind of like, how did you call it? Kidou or something." Byakuya nodded to her question. "Except you channel it through a wooden stick, or as we like to call them, a wand, instead of in the palm of your hand."
"Who were the people you lived with, when I saw you the first time?"
Hisana scowled. She did not particularly wish to speak of them, but they played an important role in her story. One that she wished never happened.
"They were my aunt and uncle. My aunt was my mother's sister."
"Why did they treat you like a servant?" Byakuya was not happy to have seen that. His wife would not be treated in such a manner again.
"My aunt and her husband are what we would call Muggles. They are ordinary people with no magic. They know that it exist, but they hate it so they like to live in a fantasy of it not being real. They don't even like the word magic. But when they do that they like to think of me as not actually existing either. All because my aunt was jealous about the fact that she didn't get a letter to Hogwarts, like her sister did."
"I see."
No, Byakuya was not happy to hear this. Not in the least bit. He held onto her tighter as if a way of comforting her and Hisana smiled at the gesture.
"It would probably be better if the others were to know about this as well. It might make things easier when I return to England because I imagine that my friends aren't too thrilled with my sudden disappearance. I suppose I can thank Renji for that little act. It was actually kind of fun though."
"Very well then." He said somewhat reluctant. He'd rather have her to himself, but he knew that it would be easier to do that after they got things settled.
"I'm glad you guys are here. I hope this makes things easier on all of us, if only a little." Hisana commented.
"Don't worry about it. We'll help ya out." Renji said. Ichigo nodded in agreement.
"What did you want to talk about Hisana-chan?" Urahara said behind his fan.
"Well, I talked to the spirit of my zanpak-to."
Ichigo and Renji slightly gapped at her. She gave a small giggle and commented. "You know you two, do kind of look like brothers when you do that."
They rolled there eyes, but decided to let my school in order to retrieve him."
"Hmm? Why can't you just call for him? He should appear before you." Urahara said.
"I don't know what that means, but he was quite insistent about me going back. Who knows. I'll find out his reasoning afterwards, hopefully."
"I'm sure you will, but whatever his reason's are I'm willing to bet Ichigo's zanpak-to that this meeting is guaranteed to be interesting.
"WHAT? WHY MY ZANPAK-TO!" Ichigo yelled.
"Ne. Benehime would get pissed if I said that about her, so I had to pick someone and you were the closest one to me."
Ichigo rolled his eyes. "You better stop doing that Ichigo, or your eyes are going to roll out of your head." Urahara teased.
"Ah, but first, I should probably make Byakuya a gigai, for once you've arrived at your destination."
Byakuya ignored all this trivial silliness and they decided that there would be no time like the present. Tomorrow, they were going to go to Hogwarts.
"Wait. First, we need to go to my aunt and uncle's house because I need to pick up a few items and today is technically the day I'm supposed to go back to Hogwarts anyway. I'm going to have to take the train there because I have no other way of getting to Hogwarts." She told them.
They had all prepared themselves to go to Hogwarts. Byakuya knew that she didn't know how to get there, but Renji and Ichigo looked at her like she was insane.
'How could she not know?' They both thought in disbelief.
"It's not plotted on any maps." Byakuya answered their silent question.
Ichigo and Renji gave each other blank looks and shrugged. Hell, they've dealt with weird people before, so why not just go with the flow.
"Do you remember where I live?" She asked Byakuya and Renji.
"Of course we do." Renji said almost insulted.
He took out his zanpak-to and opened the gate back into soul society. It would be a quick trip. They would bypass the pathway into soul society and create another gate to get back to Surrey. This was so they didn't have to take Hisana or Harri's soul out of her body, yet anyway. He also had the feeling that Byakuya would want to be the one that held her this time on the trip.
"Tensai, watch the shop for me, please." Urahara said as he stepped into the passage.
"Hai. Urahara-sama." He said at once.
A golden gate opened into Surrey. If anyone was able to see this, phenomenal event, they would have fainted. Byakuya jumped into his gigai, which he wished didn't have to be done because it was so uncomfortable. He didn't know how Rukia and Renji were able to stand the feeling for so long.
"Okay, were here." Hisana said.
"This is it?" Ichigo asked with incredulity. "But all the houses look so much alike. How can you tell, which is which?"
"Yeah, no one here is very creative, huh. But luckily there are numbers on the houses. Anyway, let's get this over with." She replied unhappy.
Byakuya silently noted her frown and vowed to never make her have such an expression on her face, if he could help it.
They walked up to the house that had the number four on it. To be polite, they decided to knock first. The person who opened the door was Harri's 'favorite person in the world.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Vernon asked.
"Away from here. Now, relax. I'll be out of your hair forever, if you let me in just one more time. I need to collect my personal belongings. If you haven't gotten rid of them already that is." Harri sneered.
She stepped inside the house and went into her room and under the floorboard she had hidden underneath her bed. She grabbed her invisibility cloak, wand, photo album, and the Marauder's Map.
CRACK...
Harri stiffened when she heard the crack.
'Could it be them?' She thought to herself.
"MORE FREAKS! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I'M SO SICK OF YOU FREAKS BARGING ONTO MY PROPERTY LIKE YOU OWN THE BLOODY PLACE! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!"
"Oh yeah, it's them, but I wonder how all this is going to be explained or how much of the truth should be said. I really don't want to be down there, but I'd better get down stairs quickly, to see what's mess I'm going to be in the middle of this time." She muttered to herself.
She ran down the stairs to see a few order members down their, as well as Ron and Hermione. 'What are they doing here?' Harri thought to herself. The order members she saw were Remus and to her utter dismay, Dumbledore and Severus.
'Yep a definite hassle will take place.' She thought bitterly.
"Well, Miss Potter, do you think yourself above the rules that you can just prance around whenever you wish?" Professor Snape sneered.
Harri scoffed. "Of course not, but I could ask you the same thing. Where have any of you been? I haven't seen or heard anyone of you." She said with an upset voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry cub. I was forced to go on missions for Dumbledore." Remus said. She willingly accepted his hug.
Of course, Dumbledore. Why did everything roll around that man. She didn't truly trust the him anymore. Everyone was always being taken from her in some way or another, but she wouldn't let that happen with her new friends.
"Okay. As much as I'm glad to see them, what are Ron and Hermione doing here?" She asked.
"That's not important for now. What really matters is that who are these people with you?" Dumbledore asked.
"I met them during the summer." She answered. "I went to Japan for a while."
There. It wasn't the complete truth, but it did have a small fraction of it. She just wondered how she should introduce Byakuya.
"May I ask their names." Dumbledore said in a distrusting voice. 'They could be Death Eaters.'
"Sure ya can." Renji said however he didn't follow up with his name.
Dumbledore gave a silent sigh. The world seemed to be full of pranksters. "Very well then. What are your names?"
"Yo, I'm Renji Abarai." He said waving his hand.
"Ichigo Kurosaki." He said with a nod of his head.
"Hmm. I'm Kisuke Urahara." He said behind his fan.
"Byakuya Kuckiki. Why does Harri live in such an environment?" Byakuya asked bluntly.
He would have said Hisana, but that would only cause more unnecessary conflicts that he didn't want or have time to deal with.
"It is a safe place for her to be." Dumbledore said.
Everyone but Dumbledore and Severus held in the urge to scoff at the man for his ludicrous statement. Severus was the only one who didn't think that because he liked to live in his own fantasy of Harri being a spoiled brat. Everyone else in the room could see how completely the opposite that statement was.
"Dumbledore. There had to have been thousands of wizarding families that would have been honored at taking in the girl who lived." Remus said.
Harri winced at the title. Time for some more explanations.
"I didn't want her to become a spoiled brat." He replied.
"But we've told you over and over that she didn't want to come here. I did tell you that they starved her the summer before second year when my brother's and I picked her up."
"WHAT?" The shinigami yelled.
'Great timing Ron.' Harri thought.
