Chapter Four
"Ah, that reminds me. Did you know that your partner practically ordered me to sort you to his House? I actually agree since we need damage control but since you chose to be in the House, where you fit, you best be..."
"Huh? Wait, what did-"
"Hufflepuff!"
A moment of silent was given to the students and teachers for them to fully acknowledge the sorting of the Boy-Who-Lived. However, that wasn't what Harry Potter was thinking of. No, what he was feared was the intense killing intent of a certain Malfoy.
When his slightly fearful caramel eyes met those angry ruby eyes, Tsuna knew that Xanxus wouldn't take the sorting well. He wouldn't even be surprised if the other would drag him to his House or anywhere close to the guy. It was truly the calm before the storm.
"We got Harry Potter!" the Hufflepuff cheered in delight at getting the rumored Boy-Who-Lived and said boy cringed at the loudness as well as the increase of killing intent. He wondered how the other students didn't notice it. He was about to move towards his housemates' table when he felt a rough hand dragging him opposite of the table.
He didn't need to turn to know who was dragging him. "Xanxus...," he whispered quietly, careful not to let anyone hear him say the other's reincarnated name. "What are you doing?"
"Shut the fuck up," the boy growled in warning and tightened his larger hand on the smaller ones. The former Decimo knew that it would probably bruise and if he wasn't immune to Reborn's teachings, the grip might have hurt him more. "You're damned annoying, brat."
The young Potter briefly felt a sense of deja vu when he was once again in the other's lap with crimson eyes giving everyone death glares. He had a feeling that he would be having the same instances after this. He wondered if it was going to be a good thing or not.
He could see a brave student coming towards them. He must either be stupid to come in when Xanxus was glaring but then again, the other seemed to be older than their current body. Bless him. Tsuna was seriously worried that his fellow Sky would take pity to the guy. The unknown student seriously had no idea who he was taking on.
"Hey, first year," Kami, the former mafia boss felt like freaking out when the older student smiled friendly and the body, covering him, stiffened in increasing anger and annoyance. The other would be lucky enough to get away with only a few broken bones because the ex-assassin was going for a kill. "Sorry, but we have to eat with housemates just this once. Don't worry after this day, you can get to eat together."
"Do you fucking think I care about shitting rules, trash?"
'Oh Kami, I really am regretting my choice of House. Never mind that it was the Sorting Hat's decision,' Harry thought, mentally banging his head in an imaginary wall. 'If this is what happens when I'm in a different House, I can't begin to imagine when I'm not with him. Kami, I should have chosen Slytherin instead. We seriously need damage control, especially if others are going to be reincarnated.'
"Hey, you shouldn't-"
The words, the older boy was going to say, were died out as his eyes widened in surprise and fear when two guns were pointed at him. Tsuna could just feel his jaw dropping and the shock of the people around them.
"Do I fucking look like I damn care, trash?" like a demon from Hell, Xanxus smirked tauntingly and aimed his gun. Actually, he did shoot the scared boy, who barely dodged the shot, but then again, it was merely a warning shot.
'Those are real guns. He just shot a student,' was running into the smaller child's mind. and he knew that it was also everyone's thoughts in the whole thing.
"HIEEE! Why'd you shoot, Xanxus?!" the boy immediately stood up from the other and frowned, never noticing that he was speaking in Japanese. "Or rather, what were you thinking bringing guns in school? Actually, how'd you get those guns?! We're like eleven!"
"Who fucking cares about damned details?" the other shrugged, not really finding anything wrong with what he had done and smirked in amusement. "And you're slipping there. People will fucking wonder why their so-called savoir is speaking in other language."
"Ah," the former boss blushed in embarrassment and tried to bury himself to the other's body before he was even more horrified to notice that he was seeking comfort from Xanxus of all the people. "Eek!"
'Oh Kami, I'm used to being embrace by many people already that I don't even bat an eyebrow if it was the men, who are showing affection,' he thought to himself, wanting more than to drop to a deep hole. 'This is why many people questions my sexuality and I decided to just stay single.'
"Anyway, Draco," Kami, he needed to remind himself that he was now Harry Potter and Xanxus was Draco Malfoy, and what he was used to in his life as Tsunayoshi Sawada was not something he should do now or Kami help him. It was going to be like puberty all over again. "How'd you get the guns?! People don't let children buy them much less touch them!"
"I fucking bought them myself when I fucking stayed at your house," gasps seemed to be heard in the background at the confession but the two were lost in their own world. Tsuna glared at the older boy and his eye turned narrowed orange, muttering, "That should be impossible since I was watching over you the entire time."
"Well, you can't fucking watch all the time, damned brat," and there was the famous smirk that annoyed the smaller boy, reincarnated or not. "Especially if I fucking say I was going to fucking buy a p-"
Immediately, a bright blush was formed by his face. "Don't you dare mention that again!" the young Potter interrupted hastily. "It happened once, just once! And I already want nothing to do with it! Didn't you agree not to tell or mention that again?"
That meant the day when the two went shopping together again to look for books they could used. The former Decimo decided to try looking for information that could help them understand what was going on and why they were reincarnated. Sadly, they had no luck in finding the cause but they did find out that they were not in the future, as first assumed, and were actually in the past.
Though Tsuna had felt that it was more than that but they could never understand why they were in the past. He decided that they might have been sent to a parallel world or alternate universe.
Anyway, that happened when they went to another section of the bookstore. They went straight into a strictly prohibited section and saw the collection of porns and other sexual items which made the former mafia boss blushed heavily at the sight. He was still a virgin when he had died despite being around thirty years old.
"Anyway, I fucking bought the guns when you were too busy being flustered for shitty reasons," Xanxus shrugged carelessly again and raised an eyebrow. "Why the fuck, are you even surprised that I was able to fucking buy them? You have a fucking bloodthirsty trash, remember?"
He was talking about Kyoya Hibari and the raven head realized that his companion was telling the truth. Hibari did have his tonfas since he was around six or seven if the rumors, that the Potter had heard, were true.
Before he could even reply, a familiar laugh was heard.
"Kufufu, you two act like married couple again."
Of course, the two immediately turned to the one, who spoke, already knowing who it was despite the unfamiliar voice. The laugh was dead giveaway but seriously, they had to blink many times when they saw the person that Mukuro was reincarnated to.
They had expected the change in appearance. Xanxus had silver blond hair now instead of raven and Tsuna had the rave hair. The blond still did have his red eyes and signature scars, and the other boy could change his appearances if he wanted to. But this was...
"You lost your pineapple," the prankster heart of one Harry Potter acted up and he was horrified to realize that he had failed to control himself. He had realized that due to his new father, he had liked to prank. He even had the urge to ask Xanxus of all people what it was like to have blond hair. Fortunately, he was able to control it because he was certain that he would die if he didn't.
Unfortunately, this time was different.
"Do you have a death wish...," Mukuro's eyes flashed the usual two-colored ones and he smirked dangerously, pointing at the two. "...Harry, was it? You do realize that your hair is plain black and he's a blond now? Kufufufu, they really do suit the two of you. Swapping colors like a couple, huh?"
'Oh Kami, not this again! it's puberty all over again!' he thought in deep horror at the sight of the smirking boy. In all honesty, the person, who started the whole being attracted to boys, was Mukuro Rokudo. It went from taunting Hibari with his actions to suggesting that Hibari was cute enough to be a girl.
Reborn had, of course being the sadist he was, went with the whole idea and started, rather mockingly, that the most feminine boy was Tsuna of all people and that his student could pass as a girl anytime. One thing led another and then, the so-called feminine boy had to cross-dress many times that he lost count.
Then, the rumor worsened when the Mist Guardian noticed how peculiar Xanxus' and Tsuna's relationship was and kept on teasing them about it, saying stuff that just made the Varia Leader shoot him every single time. Somewhere along the line, people had thought that Tsuna was gay. It didn't help that his friends were too touchy in some moments.
The brunet had really wanted to die at that time.
"NO! NOT AGAIN! DO NOT START WITH THIS AGAIN! WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!"
And he seriously wanted to do the same at the current moment.
Mukuro smirked sadistically as if knowing what he was thinking about. The Mist Guardian was really similar to Reborn at times and they even get along pretty well...when they're trying to torture someone or annoy someone, most likely Tsuna.
"Listen to the shitty brat, you stupid trash. Say a fucking word about that again and I'll fucking kill you," Xanxus scowled before smirking tauntingly. "But then again, what's fucking more hilarious is that damned hair of yours. Can't say I fucking didn't expect the change. Having a damned fruit on your head is fucking shameless..."
The grin widened, Tsuna just feeling the temperature dropping, "Though did you fucking have to cut off all of your shitting hair and fucking turn black?"
"Kufufufu, you've got some nerve," chilled shivers were done by the students around them. The new reincarnated child was seriously freaking them out. It was like the boy could kill at the age of eleven, which was truthful fact to Tsuna and Xanxus.
Someone faked a cough and the three finally went back to the reality that they weren't alone.
Dumbledore, if the Potter had to guess by his childhood memories, was walking to them with pleasant eyes though they could tell that the person was suspicious and analyzing their actions, thinking whether they would be a threat or not, mostly due to Xanxus' guns.
"Hello, children," he greeted with a friendly and waved his wand, almost instantly making the guns disappear. "I'm sorry to say but there will be no weapons allowed. I also have to ask the three of you to stop fighting. We cannot have them in Hogwarts."
The green-eyed boy could see some older students snort. He could tell that some weren't really following the rule. It was a school after all, no matter if it's a magical school or not. Schools always had fight or bullies.
Scars widening and becoming clearer, Xanxus glared furiously at the old wizard but before he could snap, Tsuna went to intervene. "I'm sorry, sir," he bowed politely, thanking that Reborn had, at least, taught him to be well mannered. "My friend is prone to violence. I hope you can forgive him."
"Such a polite man, you are!" the Headmaster smiled, a little more ease. "Still, we can't have students going unpunished. Your father also requested your presence, young Draco. I'll be seeing in my office."
"Now, let us continue with the Sorting!"
.oxo.
Mukuro had been watching since the two entered the room and he couldn't stop the envy in his stomach when he saw that Xanxus had been the first to meet Tsuna. He didn't want to admit it but he was jealous of the sudden closeness. Yes, the two were close before but even then, Mukuro had a closer relationship to Tsuna as his Mist Guardian than Xanxus.
However, in this new life as Blaise Zabini, he was not a Guardian and the other wasn't his boss anymore. They were simply going to be classmates in a magic school. It had hurt to lose the connection of his past life. He wondered if it had something to do with being reincarnated as human for once, but he was getting sentimental.
He had already been reincarnated six times due to the experimentation done by the Estraneo Famiglia but this was actually the first time that he had died and had been reborn as a human. Those Six Paths of Reincarnation were merely a fragment of his memories. He had suffered in a short time that they weren't important, even though the intense pain was still in his eyes.
This reincarnation was different. He knew about his past lives but he was forced to live with them. Tsuna might not remember but he knew that he and Xanxus could clearly remember how the brunet had died. It was no simple death. It was a murder from a traitor.
A fucking traitor, who he and the other cursed from this day, poisoned their boss, their Sky, their friend, their family for he was too trusting that he didn't notice that the bastard had added something in his food. Why his intuition never picked it up, they could never guess but they blamed the bastard...
...and themselves for Tsunayoshi Sawada's death.
It was ironic. Mukuro hated mafia and anything related to it but he had raged at the Vongola Decimo's death. He was the first to attack the cowardly traitor before he could escape. He forced his way to the other's mind and destroyed it ruthlessly, not caring about the pleas for mercy of the traitor.
After he was done, he watched the others torture the man cruelly, not allowing the man to rest in peace. No, they tortured him everyday until he revealed where the famiglia, he worked with, was hidden. They made him watch them kill the famiglia and even his family before killing him slowly and painfully.
If Tsuna knew what had happened after his death, he was going to be guilty and heartbroken.
With those thoughts in mind, they went with their lives but it was never the same without their Sky. In a way, it was like taking their innocence. They had tried to move on but they couldn't. They couldn't even try to keep themselves together and even the Vongola family had fallen to the darkness.
Then, he died after going to a suicidal mission. He thought that he was finally getting peace. He had thought that he would finally see the small smiling brunet again. In a way, he did get his wish but it seemed to bring more sadness to him than happiness.
He was reborn and had lived for eleven years as Blaise with Mukuro's tragic memories and here he was, just sitting so close to Harry Potter, who he knew as Tsuna. It was so close, yet so far. Wasn't it a curse in disguise?
That was why he had to hide in a mask. He had to buried the dark thoughts and emotions flowing in his veins. He had to pretend that he was okay. He purposely teased the two, ignoring the heavy envy he had felt when he realized that Xanxus had gotten more closer to Tsuna.
'If I'm not his Mist Guardian, then what am I?' a part of him whispered, wanting the same relationship over and over again. He needed a reassurance that he and the now black-haired boy had something. He was really questioning his sanity as to why he was feeling these emotions. 'Seriously, what did this guy do to me?'
His two colored eyes narrowed dangerously when he felt someone poking at his head. He pushed them back violently and sought to find the cause of the intruder, glaring at the sight of the old wizard. He didn't have to worry about the man succeeding to read Tsuna's or Xanxus' mind. They unconsciously blocked anyone from their mind by sheer will alone.
'It was what made possessing the brunet very difficult in their past lives,' Mukuro had to smile gently at the thought before he wiped it off his face when he noticed something wrong with the Headmaster. 'Guilt, there's a heavy guilt there and it's directed to Tsunayoshi...Why?'
"Zabini, Blaise!"
He never got the answer as he put the Sorting Hat on his head.
"My, my, there are many reincarnated children this year," he heard another voice in his mind and he frowned deeply.
'Get out of my head,' he hissed out threateningly in his thoughts. 'Just sort me someone where I can think and plan.'
"You're rather more suited in Slytherin, my boy, especially with that dark past. You would do great in the House of Snakes."
'Shut up,' he clenched his knuckles, his kanji turning to four. 'If you don't get off my mind, I'll destroy you.'
"Ah, yes, the Six Paths of Reincarnation," the Hat almost sounded longingly and nostalgically. "How peculiar of a child like yourself receive such pain in your childhood...I see that you have the same most important person as the violent boy."
'Do you really not care about privacy?'
"But, child, you're the one that makes it easy for me to see your past. Your emotions make it easy for anyone to access your mind," it stated wisely and its voice suddenly turned sad. "It's a pity that you children had to suffer in your previous lives...it also saddened me that your important person might not be safe in this world."
Mukuro felt his heart stopped at the moment. 'What do you mean by that?' his inside twisted harshly like the time, he raged at the traitor for killing Tsuna.
"It isn't my story to tell. You should talk to that person."
'...sort me.'
"Of course. Well, if you don't like being in Slytherin, you best be..."
"Ravenclaw!"
Removing the Sorting Hat from his head, the illusionist couldn't stop himself from letting a bitter smile. He had seriously wondered how the ex-mafia boss could effect him so much.
.oxo.
Honey-brown eyes watched the previous Mist Guardian with a concerned expression and the owner could stop the dreadful feeling in his stomach. He could tell that the other was obviously upset with something, most likely the talk with the Sorting Hat.
"Mukuro's rather worrying, don't you think?" a voice mumbled near his ears softly and he could definitely agree...
Tsuna snapped his head quickly and found himself looking at an unfamiliar face though his focus went to those red strip of hair. "Enma?" he thought in uncertainty and the other smiled.
"It's Neville, now," Enma said softly, his eyes showing many emotions that the Potter couldn't understand. "I'm glad to see you alive again."
On the other side of the table, Yamamoto watched Xanxus and Mukuro glare at Enma and he chuckled to himself, "Those three aren't really being subtle. Tsuna will seriously suspect that something's wrong."
The person on his right stared at him in confusion.
.oxo.
Mukurou, or Mukurowl as Tsuna had renamed him before going to Hogwarts, flew towards Ollivander's Wand Shop and went inside the shop. He landed on the owner's shoulder and cooed at the older man like he knew him personally.
"Tsuna's right," Nono chuckled, stroking the white feathers. "You are more affectionate than your master."
Hearing that, the bird looked up in expectant, making the man laugh harder.
"And smart, too, I see," he said in humor before giving it a deep thought. "Well, Mukuro went to buy his wand, just as Tsuna and Xanxus bought theirs so I think they'll be meeting in the Sorting Ceremony."
"I'm worried how Xanxus will cope with Tsuna being in another House," he thought aloud in worry, knowing that the former brunet was too trusting and too loyal and that his former adopted son was too violent. Tsuna was truly best in Hufflepuff while Xanxus could either be Gryffindor or Slytherin. "I hope he won't be expelled like how he did in his previous schools when he was still Xanxus."
"So Xanxus really went to school like a normal child?" Byakuran appeared out of nowhere and grinned mischievously. "I want to hear that story!"
"Aren't you busy with your job in this world?" Nono raised an eyebrow and merely received a chuckle as an answer. He could only sweat-drop. "You've got an important job and you're skipping? This world is finished."
"Haha, well, won't people be more happy if I don't do my work?"
Jade-chan: Well, I guess we're going really slow in the plot since it is just starting. So yeah, we're now starting Harry's first year in Hogwarts. So yeah, Tsuna's memories are wrong in his time of death but I have a reason for that! And the rating is going up when the story progress and if the past was being described (they are in mafia but I guess that was still too much, huh? But you know, I can totally see it happening in canon for some reason)...
Mukuro's Blaise in Ravenclaw and Enma is Neville in Hufflepuff (why you guys didn't notice this or comment last chapter made me surprised really. It was so obvious!) Actually, the first thing I thought was Hibari as Blaise and Lambo as Neville but I decided to change because of these following reasons:
1) Mukuro losing the pineapple hairstyle was too hilarious for me that I must use it. Can you just imagine what Hibari or anyone will say at the guy (though Xanxus and even Tsuna beat them first XD)? Why Ravenclaw? I thought that even though he's Slytherin no doubt, he would rather be someone who stays at the background before striking without hesitation. Anyway, I made used of the manga when he already got reincarnated before. In manga, he stated he had 6 past lives...please correct me if I'm wrong.
2) Enma as Neville... I didn't notice it at first but since Tsuna is Harry, they're perfect to each other! Why? Come on, Neville is someone who could be the prophecy child other than Harry while Enma is Earth (?), the opposite of Tsuna (Sky) and I just thought they're like perfect, so canon! Tsuna and Enma are alike to being mafia boss and dame/no-good/loser as Harry and Neville are half blood who suffered from Voldemort's attack. And the personalities? They're almost the same! See the similarities? And why Hufflepuff? See Tsuna, and do you guys need to ask anymore?
Next, I went and used Nono and Mukurowl outside the school to bring out other reincarnation as well as other characters not seen in Hogwarts. Do you guys really think that every reincarnation will be in school? Also, they're in the past since I just thought about how to make it work despite Harry Potter's in 1990 or something and KHR is in modern day and last, Yamamoto and Byakuran are reincarnated! Try guessing who, really.
P.S: I won't necessarily be writing the yaoi/slash/homosexual thing or joke every single time. It's nothing serious. I mean, guys sometimes have those moments, don't they? In my school, my classmates always tease my male classmates and other students even though they're not really gay so I thought it was normal...
Another thing, if you guys do want yaoi/slash in this story, my friend, Black-chan (BrokenBlackCat) wrote a X27/DMHP story of this story called "Overprotective" where the two really gets together...or at least, kissed. I can't exactly write any pairings (except for some) since that will seriously tempt me to well...write yaoi/slash and that's bad for those who hate it, right?
Another thing, how do you guys do a news article, a feature article and a column article in a newspaper? Because fucking hell, why did I have to be assigned to do them all? Fuck, I don't even know how to write for a newspaper! And really, I still have many projects to submit! There's also the exam...why are they all piled up?! DX
Another thing (sorry for the long A/N!), do you guys understand how I write? I do know about my grammar mistakes and I try my best to edit them. I also know I should probably try having a beta but it's just a hobby so I just write what I like, not caring of the mistakes and stuffs. If you guys find mistakes, you can really just tell. I don't mind... I just really don't have time or will to find a beta.
