Chapter 9 A Plan
Lucien drummed his fingers on the side of his armrest, thinking over everything he had just heard. Haru had found out some of his past. He didn't know if that was a good thing or not. But something was also bothering him. Shouldn't Dumbledore know about Harry's life?
The blond looked to the fireplace and walked over, throwing in some floo powered. "Hogwarts, Headmaster's office!" he shouted into the flames before walking into them.
"Lucius?" Albus said, surprise evident in his voice, as he looked up from his desk. "Is something wrong?"
Lucius sat down, "I don't know yet." His grey eyes focused on the lemon drops on the man's desk and wrinkled his nose, before looking up at the man. "Harry has remembered some of his past."
Albus gave him a worried look and leaned forward a little bit. "How much? Does he know he's a wizard?"
Lucius shook his head, "Not yet. He only knows his name, and a little bit about his adopted family," he gave the man a fierce look. "Did you know anything about his home life?"
Albus gave him a confused look. "No, did something happen?"
"How could you not know, Albus?" Lucius shook his head. "I thought you had at least checked on him!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Harry Potter was abused."
Those light blue eyes widened in disbelief. "That's not possible…" He shook his head in denial. "Are you sure?"
Lucius glowered at him and stood up; even in muggle clothes the man looked intimidating. "Albus, how could you not know about this! I thought you had people watching over him?"
"Well Arable Figg was watching-"
"The squib?" Lucius snorted. "And what exactly was she supposed to do?"
There was an uneasy silence and Albus looked away in guilt. "The blood wards where supposed to keep him safe…"
The blond snorted. "But they didn't keep him safe from them."
"It was for the greater good, my boy," The man said gravely.
Lucius shook his head in disbelief then paused and a look of disgust filtered across his face. "What about my son?"
"Now Lu-"
"What about my son? Was his death part of the greater good?"
"Of course not!"
"But Harry's was."
The old man shook his head. "Harry had a role to perform."
"And if he was to die?"
Nothing was said.
The blond looked down at the older man. "I don't want you anywhere near Harry-"
"Now my boy, maybe you're overacting." Albus tried to placate him.
Lucius shook his head in disgust. "You just told me that you would be okay with Harry dying for the greater good. Did you even try to think of another way?" He placed a hand on his head, "No, I don't even want to know." He dropped it and glared at Albus. "I'll still fight for your war, but after this you will stay away from us."
"My boy, Harry has nowhere to g-"
"I'll adopt him."
Albus stared at him. He sighed and nodded his head. "I truly didn't know."
Lucius walked over to the fireplace, saying where he wanted to go. Before leaving he looked over at the old man, who suddenly looked as old as he was meant to. "I know…and that's the only reason you're not dead."
And with that he flooed away, leaving behind a broken man.
Haru yawned as he walked into the classroom earlier than usual. He didn't want to take a chance of meeting the other club members so soon, so he asked to go to school earlier. Lucien looked at him for a moment before nodding. Haru hadn't known what to say to the man when he got home and instead went to his room to finish his homework.
"Are you feeling better Haru?"
The boy jumped slightly, a feat in itself since he was sitting at his desk, and looked up at the girl in front of him with a slight smile. "Hello Haruhi."
She nodded and walked passed him to her own desk sitting her bag on the top of it. "You still didn't answer me."
Haru shrugged his shoulders. "As fine as I can be." He looked down and tapped his fingers on his desk, trying to ignore the hum of people talking. He certainly didn't want to tell them anything. He didn't want to be pitied and didn't need to be.
She raised an eyebrow at that, opening her bag. "It was something that you couldn't help," She turned away putting a book on her desk. "You shouldn't have to apologize for something that you cannot control."
Haru nodded, and was about to speak when he noticed that there was a strange silence. He glanced at Haruhi and she was standing still and gaping at something behind him. He turned and gaped along with her.
"Hikaru?" Haruhi whispered. The other early arrivers began to mutter and gape at the twin.
The teen lifted up his hand with a blank expression, as if walking in with pink hair was normal. "Good morning." He said as he walked over to them.
Haru looked at him with wide eyes. "W-why?" He turned to look at Haruhi's equally surprised face. "What happened in a day to cause this!"
Haruhi looked pale and before she could speak the teen had come up to them. "How are you doing Haru?" He asked leaning on his desk. "We were all worried about you."
"Er… I'm…I'm fine." He tried to think of something to say. "Um, how are you?"
Hikaru smirked and placed his hands on his hips. "I'm doing better. From now on I'm the pink haired twin. I didn't want to be mistaken for Kaoru for the rest of my life, you know?"
Haruhi gazed at him, and looked behind Hikaru. "Ahhh," she voiced, making Haru look behind Hikaru too.
He blinked in shock as Kaoru stood next to his brother. But, with bright blue hair.
"How are you, Haru?" Kaoru asked as Hikaru went to his seat. "Kyoya told us that you had gone home."
Green eyes narrowed at the sound of Kyoya's name before sighing heavily, he gave Kaoru a small smile. "It wasn't anything to worry about. I'm fine now."
"So Kaoru's the blue haired one?" Haruhi asked.
Haru shook his head. "I-I don't think I want to know what's going on," He said walking away.
"No! Wait!" Haruhi protested. She held out an arm for him to take. "Take me with you!"
"When you change your set, we can talk."
She glowered at him. "Traitor," she muttered with a sigh.
By the time he reached his seat, Kaoru and Hikaru where throwing things at each other.
When lunch rolled around Haru was dragged toward the lunch room, following the twins.
"But why do I have to go!" Haru whined, as Haruhi kept hold of his wrist. "You've known them longer!"
"We have to keep an eye on them or else who knows what they'll do."
"And you can't do that yourself?"
"I'll stick Kyoya on you."
"…I knew you were evil."
Haruhi looked behind her as they reached the lunch room. "Just think of what would happen if they got out of hand." She sighed heavily, "If we don't get them to stop fighting, they'll continue to annoy everyone and then we will have to deal with them even more." She paused, "And we are the only sane ones right now."
Haru nodded slowly, thinking it over, before sighing. "Fine, fine, you got me." He walked ahead of her, dreading what would happen.
The twins where already in the room trying to order some lunch. Unfortunately they kept ordering the same thing, and getting each other angry.
Haruhi gave them a blank stare. "I had thought they would at least be quiet here."
"I was wondering what the fuss was about."
Haruhi turned and looked at the new comers. The other host club members had arrived and Tamaki had finished speaking, as he gazed at the twins.
"I can't believe that you two are still fighting. You are a disgrace to the host club," Tamaki continued.
"Hey, look who it is," a teen observed.
"Oh wow, it's the whole host club," A girl said dreamily.
"That doesn't happen often," another girl squealed.
Tamaki glanced around preening and spotted Haruhi along with Haru, as the Honey-senpai tried to calm the twins down with a piece of cake.
"Haru! Haruhi!" He yelled, running up to them, hugging them both.
"Hello Tamaki," Haru muttered trying to get out of the blonds grasp.
The man released them both with a huge smile on his face. "I'm so glad you're alright Haru!" He then pouted. "Kyoya stopped me from visiting you and then when he returned he said that you had already left."
Haru blinked, surprised. It was really strange that so many people where worried about him. He smiled softly at the blubbering man. "I'm sorry for worrying you, but I'm fine now," he insisted.
Tamaki nodded, satisfied before looking between both of the younger teens. "It's very unusual that you're both here." He gasped and looked like he was about to hug them again. Haru backed away just in case. "Did you come here to see me?"
"No," Haruhi told him bluntly, making the man deflate. "We were worried about those two, and followed them." She looked down at her bento. "I usually eat at in the classroom."
"And I usually go to Suiyaku for lunch, but Haruhi dragged me along," Haru said as he glared at her.
She rolled her eyes and went to look for the twins.
"And then she leaves me," Haru said with a sigh. He felt a hand placed on his shoulder and looked up. "What do you want Kyoya?"
Kyoya gave him a small smile as he leaned forward, making the teen blush for some reason. "I was wondering if I could go with you to your house."
Haru blinked, shocked that the man asked him. He would have thought that Kyoya would have blueprints to his house by now. After seeing him typing away at his computer and seemingly knowing everything, it was surprising to say the least. Haru shot him a look. "Why?"
"I wanted to meet your guardians and speak to them." This was of course said in the charming way that Kyoya only could.
Haru pursed his lips in indecision, thinking if over. If he didn't let him go, the man would pester him until he gave in. It would be better if he could get it out of the way as soon as possible. "If Suiyaku agrees and you don't get in my way," He warned him.
Kyoya's lips twitched, but he nodded.
Haru sighed and turned, wondering if he just signed his death warrant. He went to find Haruhi and hoped that all of this would soon blow over.
When he looked over at Haruhi, he saw her walking away from a food fight at the twin's table. He raised an eyebrow and grinned as he ran over to her.
"Soooo," he said startling her as they reached outside. "You're running away."
Haruhi rolled her eyes, and continued walking. "I didn't run away." She lifted her head a little bit. "I'm thinking of another plan."
"As long as I'm not in this one," Haru told her with a smirk.
Haruhi gave him a blank look, before nodding.
There was a crashing sound and Haru looked at Haruhi. "Let's get out of here before anything else happens."
She sighed and started to walk quickly out of the room along with Haru. "Who knows what'll happen with those two."
Later the group convened in the music room to talk about the fighting twins. Kyoya was crunching some numbers as the rest of the group was quiet, trying to think of what to do.
"Well it seems," Kyoya said making the others look toward him. "If this continues we have to stop selling our brotherly love product."
Haru looked at him confused before scowling at him. "And that's the one thing that is bothering you right now," he muttered.
"Oh and Haruhi," Kyoya said, ignoring the comment, "You will not be blamed for what has happened, even though," The man looked up smiling. "this is your fault for that comment you made."
Haru kicked him, making the man wince. "Shouldn't we just wait for this to blow over?" He asked. "So they fought," he shrugged.
"But this hasn't happened before," Honey-senpai said softly. "This is the first time we've seen them fight."
Tamaki sighed and lifted up his head that had been on the table. "Not that we would know if they had earlier."
Haruhi and Haru gave them a confused look. "What do you mean," Haruhi asked.
Honey-senpai started to swing his legs as he played with his bunny. "The twins have always been together and alone until Tamaki asked them to join the club…"
Haru looked towards a nodding Tamaki. "They were always alone… and have never fought before."
A green eye widened as he felt a hand touch his leg. He narrowed his eye and glared at the dark teen beside him. Kyoya shook his head and leaned down. "They'll be fine, Haru."
He blinked, wondering how he knew that.
"Stop fighting or you'll never come to my house!" Haruhi shouted, startling the group.
There was a pause and then both twins looked over at her, with creepy grins on their face. "Really?" The twins said together.
Haruhi nodded fiercely though a little confused.
Both brothers shook each other hands and started talking happily about visiting her house. Haruhi blinked slowly getting what had just happened. "Wait, you weren't fighting?" She asked, fury slowly entering her voice.
Their explanation was that they devised this plan so that they can go to her house. And that was why they fought.
Haru stood frozen his mouth slightly agape. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up into Kyoya's eyes. "I told you that it'll all work out," The infuriating teen said to him.
"Yeah, yeah," Haru muttered scowling before turning and walking toward the door, trying to ignore what was happening to the others. "Let's just go home, I don't know if I can take much more of this."
"I'm leaving too!" Haruhi ground out, trying to remain calm, as she passed both of them.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki cried, running after her and almost tripped on the way. "Wait for me! Who knows what kind of men would hurt you!"
Haru watched her try to get away from Tamaki, "Poor Haruhi, can't get a break can she?" He glanced at the smirking teen beside him. He sighed and walked down the hall, trying to ignore the man falling in step beside him.
As they stood next to each other waiting for Kyoya's limo to come around, Kyoya smiled down at the other teen when he saw the black ride. "Well, let's go."
Haru grumbled, and opened the door, before sliding in. Kyoya slid in right next to him, much to Haru's displeasure.
"Why do you want to see my guardians anyway?" Haru grumbled again when he found that he couldn't get away from the other teen.
"So I can ask for your hand in marriage."
Haru looked up shock on his face, and then glared at him. "You better be joking."
Kyoya leaned back, "I just want to speak to them, nothing bad."
Haru eyed him warily, before shrugging his shoulders and looked out the window. Hopefully nothing bad will happen.
I found out I could buy the Sailor moon series and I have to save up for three weeks. TT-TT Now I'm going to be obsessed until I get it. Right now I'm watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon live action so that tiding me over for now.
Also I was trying to not make Albus a bad guy and instead I made him...well you read it. At least he's not evil...
