Last Time: Suspicions arise and are proven true; Tsuna and co. head off to play 'Squalo Shoe Pelter 3000', and everyone continues to wonder if Malfoy's nose will ever be fixed…
Hi~ as I start writing this chapter, I want to thank all thirteen reviews I've gotten so far! Special thanks especially to "10th Squad 3rd Seat" for her abundance of reviews!
"Lilac": Thanks for the advice! I'll think of that next time! I really do see what you mean… XD
"The Neo Productions": Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
"Dayublade": It was? Ah~ sorry if you tell me specifically what confused you, I could explain!
"10th Squad 3rd Seat"(on chapter five): Sorry, I DO update a little slowly!
"tsubasa shiki":No problem, annoying Lambo is hard to write anyway… and I AM known for my very original ideas!( lie)
"fufukun": Aw thanks! I AM known for my great humor!( another lie) Actually, I was rather surprised that people found my dumb humor funny. well I guess the phenomenon of life is a strange thing…
"Orange-y27": Why thank you. You're totally right! Tsuna always passes off as a girl, no matter what XD. And about the X27 thing, I just don't know how to put it into the story, partly because I've become so attached to Ryohei being her boyfriend, but I HAVE been thinking about doing another crossover at some point, so I'll definitely make that the pairing in it! It's a promise, kay?
"SBP":Thanks!~ I'll try my best!
"Raito0228": Good question. First of all, I like 3000, it has a good ring to it, don't you think? And second of all, it's a three thousand because of the fact that there's been a bunch of different versions before that. In fact the first version only allowed one type of shoe, to minimize the damage. That type of shoe was a rubber based flat shoe. Every time he pissed Tsuna off she added another type of shoe to the list of shoes that you're able to throw. Now, you're able to throw almost every type of shoe, except for the ones that could actually kill him, like ice climbing shoes. Or iron boots (like the Loz:TP ones). So pretty much, I'm saying that he's managed to piss her off quite a number of times.
~On the way to the library~
"Do you think that Mr. Squalo will be okay?"Hermione asked worriedly as they walked down the corridor on the way to the library.
"Ah, he'll be fine Hermione. He's obviously lived through it before." Said Harry, as he walked beside her, looking for the last time into the book 'Quidditch through the Ages', before he returned it to the library.
"But Harry, he looked so scared!" She replied haughtily, giving him a sharp glare, which Harry ignored in turn. At that moment, Ron fell into step with them, looking confused at her angry expression.
"Merlin's beard, what's got her so grumpy?" He said in a whisper, with his hand by his mouth, casting a small glance towards Hermione.
"Nothing, she's just worried about that Squalo guy. Of course, while I agree with her fully, I don't think he'll be in any apparent danger, seeing as they're his friends right? By the way where were you?" Harry replied quietly, but not too quietly so that Hermione could hear. Her face softened at his thoughts on the subject, knowing he agreed with her made her feel less angry with him.
"Oh, me? I was in our dorm looking for something." Ron replied in a normal voice, as he had realized that Harry's hidden compliment had made her feel better.
"What was it you were looking for?" Hermione asked him, nudging herself back into the conversation.
"The Marauder's Map. I thought that we should keep it close while we're snooping around, looking stuff up about those Vongola Academy guys. You know, to make sure that they're not following us." Ron said to her.
She looked as though she could hug him. "Oh, Ronald! How smart!" She exclaimed proudly, like a mother would to her son after seeing his first report card.
"Why is it that every time I do something even remotely smart, you guys act like I just won the Quidditch World Cup?" Ron said, looking proud but affronted. He gave them a sharp look when they glanced at each other nervously.
Then Harry smiled. "Because you usually just act like an idiot and do whatever the hell we tell you to do!" He said, grinning mischievously. Ron's vein popped in his forehead and said "You're gonna pay for that one." And promptly chased Harry down the corridor towards the library. After a short bout of running and yelling, they fell to the floor in a heap, laughing. Hermione chuckled, walked up to them, and helped them up.
"Why don't we get to the library now? I'm glad you two wore yourselves out before we got there, now we should be able to stay out of trouble." She told them. Harry and Ron nodded, still grinning wildly as they walked into the library.
Immediately, they started looking up all the magical schools that had ever existed, and had come across many strange school names like: "Gribbly's Pumpkin Academy of Pumpkin Lovers" and "Like Hell You're Ever Gonna Find Us School For Witches". Strangely, though, not once did they come across the name "Vongola Academy Of Advanced Magic".
"Wait a minute!" Hermione said in a loud whisper. Both the boys looked up at her in surprise. "She told us to remember the name 'Vongola Famiglia'! Maybe she was giving us a hint!" She told them.
"Yeah Hermione, we established that already, but what KIND of hint?" Harry asked her, quieting in the middle of his sentence after the librarian shot him a glare.
"Well, she must have told us that in the hopes that instead of looking up their school name, we would look up 'Vongola Famiglia'! But where would we find it?" She explained, speaking the last question to herself. She started to pace back and forth in front of the boys with her hand on her chin, thinking intently.
"Maybe we could look in the muggle history section? No one ever told us they had to necessarily be about magic." Ron offered. Both of them sent him shocked looks.
"Oh, Ronald, what a wonderful idea!" Hermione exclaimed "Let's go now!" She turned on her heel, her hair swaying as she went, and walked swiftly to the muggle history section. As Ron and Harry walked behind her, Harry said "Wow Ron, what sort of smart bug has invaded your mind today?" he asked jokingly. Ron only replied "Always the tone of surprise. All of you." and gave Harry a mocking glare. They set to work, looking in history book after history book, reading the history of countries ranging from America to Tunisia. Finally, as Hermione was reading a history book about Italy (VERY recently written, if I might add) she cried out, receiving a sharp glare from the librarian.
"Harry! Ronald! I found it! 'The most powerful mafia family in the world to this day is the VONGOLA FAMIGLIA'!" she whispered loudly, casting a nervous look at the suspicious librarian. Just as Ron and Harry were about to speak she told them urgently "Wait a minute! 'The Vongola Nono(Ninth Boss), Timoteo officially retired from his position last year, he continues duties as boss until the Vongola Decimo, Sawada Tsunahime, finishes high school, as her wishes were to get a complete education. Currently, the Vongola Decimo lives in Japan, as do her Guardians Hayato Gokudera(Storm), Yammamoto Takeshi(Rain), Lambo(Lightning), Rokudo Mukuro/Chrome Dokuro(Mist), Sasagawa Ryohei(Sun), and Hibari Kyoya(Cloud). She is also commonly known to be accompanied by she former tutor, Reborn, an extremely famous hitman and Arcobaleno of the Sun.(see chapter nine for Information about the Arcobaleno)'. They're MAFIA!" She ranted. Suddenly, she got up and ran to the librarian, apologized, and then set to borrowing the book, leaving the boys to sit in shock to contemplate this newfound information.
"Alright boys, let's go, we can't afford to make the librarian any angrier, so lets go back to the common room. Ronald, could you check the map to make sure that they aren't there?" She said, back to her bossy manner. He immediately checked the map, and then his eyes widened in shock, his face pale.
"What is it Ron?" Harry asked, scooting his chair beside closer to look over Ron's shoulder, and he too paled at what he saw.
"Oh, for heaven's sake, what has gotten into you two?" Hermione asked exasperatedly, walking up behind them, trying to see but failing.
"I-I-it's…Th-They…!" Ron stuttered, the palms of his hands facing up dramatically. Seeing that Ron wouldn't be able to answer, Harry started to tell her but was interrupted by another voice.
"Ah~ you guys figured it out faster than I thought you would!" The voice said in a happy tone. Harry, Ron, and Hermione whirled around to see the smiling face of Sawada Tsunahime. Hermione looked shocked, and Harry and Ron just stared at her.
"Well then, it's nice to know that someone knows about us. You should let it slip to the whole school, Harry." She told them, smiling. Ron gave her a suspicious look, and Hermione looked awestruck, but Harry just asked "You're joking, right? You wouldn't seriously want everyone to know, right?"
"Why wouldn't I?" she asked, getting another round of surprised looks that she ignored. "I mean, Timoteo needs to get back to work, albeit he's not looking forward to the mounds of paperwork waiting for him. And I can finally take over our mission- what you didn't realize it yet?" she said to them.
"Realize what?" Ron and Harry said in unison.
"Well, you can't honestly think we came here for fun and games and an extremely dangerous tournament, can you? ...Guess you can, then." She said as a reply to their confused faces. "No, we came here to protect your school, the students, and more specifically, YOU, Harry."
"Me!"
And that's the end of the chapter! Another cliffhanger! YAY! I finally got the library chapter done! I also slightly revised my writing tactics! Like it? Hope you do! Oh and the book Hermione read was supposed to be extremely recent. Thx R&R luvz~
(P.S. sorry for taking so long to update, I just have a lot going on. Oh and anyone who reviewed who I didn't reply to, I'll reply to you next chapter. See, those were all the reviews at the time that I started writing this, and I haven't checked the reviews since, so I'll reply to anyone who reviewed after I checked next chapter( which I already said…). So thanks for reading! :D)
