Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Gundam Wing/Ac, I do not have any rights to them and I do not make any money from writing these fics.

A/N: So I sort of adopted this fic, with permission from Shy-Hime, to continue this fic. I know I'm nowhere as near as a good writer as Shy-Hime is but I'm giving it a shot and aim to continue and complete this fic. Also written for the 1 million words comp.

Chapter 7

"Everything is going to be alright Kuroao," Trowa promised as he made sure to speak in soft and comforting tones, he did not want to chance scaring the human turned kitten in his arms even more, "I do not care that you are really a human, these past few months that you have spent with us have showed me your personality. I can promise you that the others feel the same way….you are a part of this family now."

Trowa fell silent and allowed his words to sink into the bundle of fur in his arms. He found himself hoping dearly that Harry would accept and return their feelings and maybe even stay with them. After all in Trowa's eyes (Trowa also knew in his fellow pilot's eyes) he was one of them no matter the name.

"To us it doesn't matter what your name is," Trowa said softly when he noticed he had gotten no response from Kuroao, "Harry… Kuroao…or even Icabob, names do not matter much, it is the person and their heart that matters."

Getting no reply again, Trowa let out a depressed sigh and turned and walked out of the room. He hoped that his friends and lover would be able to get some sort of response from Kuroao. At this stage it didn't matter if it was negative or positive, both types would be a good sign.

As soon as Trowa walked through the door, he found himself standing just a few steps from the door with his fellow Gundam Pilots staring at him with a heavy atmosphere around them.

"Is Kuroao alright?" Quatre asked finally as he broke the heavy silence in the room, he gazed worriedly at the small figure in Trowa's arms, "I…He is extremely scared, I can feel self loathing and guilt coming off of him in waves."

"Why would he feel like that?" Duo asked with a frown as his eyes went from Kuroao to his lover and back again, "Kuroao is part of our messed up family no matter what anyone else says!"

Trowa, feeling the small ball of fur in his arms tense, slowly but soothingly, began to run a gentle hand through Kuroao's fur, offering silent support and comfort.

"You have nothing to fear Kuroao, be you Harry Potter or Kuroao you are still a member of our family," Trowa said passionately causing the others to voice out their agreements in various ways, "Like I just told you, you have shown your true colours during your stay with us over the past few month and you have found your way into our hearts and our little messed up family."

"Trowa is correct but does Kuroao…Harry know that?" Wufei asked with a frown as his hard black eyes stayed trained on the small black fluff ball, "I for one cannot see Kuroao as anything but a member of this family, even if how he began a member makes an interesting story."

"He is a welcomed security risk," Heero grunted out causing Duo to snicker slightly, "But what about my mission?"

At Heero's words the high tension that had been in the room suddenly came back, Trowa winced slightly in pain as he felt Kuroao claws suddenly sink into his clothes, slightly scrapping his skin.

"We should tell them the truth but also tell them that Kuroao is with us and will stay with us," Quatre said passionately as he slowly walked over to Trowa, "It's funny, you know…I would of thought that there would be a lot more shouting and anger but….well this is the opposite to how I thought it would turn out."

"I guess, Kuroao has just managed to worm his way into our hearts," Duo answered with a teasing grin on his face as the others nodded their heads in agreement, "It is just like Wuffers and Tro-bear said, Kuroao is part of our family, besides if Kuroao was a threat to us he would of done something to harm or kill us long ago."

"Lady Une needs to be informed of this development," Heero said as he looked at the Kuroao ball, his hard eyes going oddly soft.

"Yuy and I will inform Lady Une of this development," Wufei said stiffly as he gave Heero a pointed look.

"I will stay and guard the property in case anyone looking for Kuroao finds him," Heero replied stiffly as he walked over to Trowa and slowly began to stroke Kuroao, being careful not to spook the Animagus, "Besides I need to keep an eye on this little security break."

Quatre, sensing the rising tension coming from Wufei, stepped forwards, "It is alright Wufei, I will come with you, and Duo, you can alert the magic users."

"How can I alert these magic users?" Duo asked with a frown only for Kuroao to let out a giant meow grabbing their attention, "What's wrong Kuroao? Do you know how to send the magic users information? Do I send it by- What is that tapping sound?"

"What tapping sound Maxwell?" Wufei asked only for a sharp tapping sound on glass came to their ears.

Turning to the direction of the sound, their hands flying down to their guns while Trowa's one seeable eye took on a hard glint as his arms wrapped protectively around the midnight black pile of fur in his arms. The others moved to stand around Trowa and Kuroao in a protective stance.

"An owl," Heero said with a frown on his voice as his eyes allowed his ears to lead him to the animal that was making the sound, "From the markings I would say a female snowy owl."

"But I thought owls normally only come out during the night?" Quatre asked with a thoughtful frown on his face as he looked at the snowy owl, who seemed to be getting more and more angry and frustrated with having to wait to be let in.

From the safety of Trowa's arms Kuroao turned his head to look in the direction of the owl only to stare in shock at his owl. It looked like the time for him to turn back into a human was coming closer and closer. Harry found himself hoping that his magic would finally allow him to turn into a human again after these months.

Deciding that it was best to let Hedwig in and spotting the letter held tightly in her claws, Kuroao decided to take action while safe in the knowledge that his owners would not turn on him or at least not straight away.

Carefully wiggling free from Trowa's protective hold, Kuroao carefully stood up, balancing in Trowa's arms for a few seconds before taking a daring leap to the nearby chair.

"What are you doing, Kuroao?" Trowa asked in surprise as Kuroao suddenly jumped out of his arms only to watch with wide eyes as he watched his pet turned fellow human jump along the back of several chairs with unbelievable grace and elegance and made his way towards the window and the snowy owl.

"Do you think Kuroao knows the owl?" Quatre asked, preferring to use the name they had given him over his human name, "I've never seen a cat…I mean a human act like this towards an owl before."

"Wizards and Witches use owls to send post, sometimes if a wizard or witch is magically strong enough then they will have a familiar," Duo said thoughtfully as he watched Kuroao hit the window latch with his paw to cause it to turn and unlock the window, "Maybe this owl is Kuroao's familiar?"

"If that is true and he is strong, why hasn't he turned into a human before?" Wufei asked as he folded his arms.

Duo watched as Kuroao pushed the window up using his head, positioned under the window latch, while he thought over Wufei's answer. Even though he had learnt a lot about wizards and witches and their world over the years and several of the Sweepers were wizards and witches he didn't know everything.

"I'm not sure, Wuffers, maybe he doesn't feel safe enough or maybe something happened to force him into his animagus form and he doesn't have enough magic to turn back so he's been waiting until his magic returned," Duo replied thoughtfully as he mentally went through everything he could think of.

"Whatever the reason is the owl is a security risk," Heero said, catching everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked carefully, watching Kuroao allow the snowy owl into the room. Be it human or kitten, Kuroao had found his way into Trowa's, and the other pilot's, heart and he would not allow anything to happen to the human turned kitten.

"Someone knows where Potter is," Heero replied with a dark look as his hand went down to one of his hidden guns as he eyed the letter clutched tightly in the owl's claws, "Someone sent him a letter."

"Well, if they sent him a letter than that is one good thing," Quatre said, explaining when the others sent him confused looks, "They think Kuroao…Harry is still a human."

"His name is Kuroao," Trowa said passionately, eyeing the owl and kitten, "To me he will always be Kuroao."
