I don't own KHR, HP, Sherlock, or Ranma 1/2!

Quick Note: Thanks to thunder18 you all are getting this chapter today! I almost forgot, when I got their review. It's been a busy/weird day with me fixing my boss' errors and helping others to the MAX! Oh dear, I just pulled a Ryohei. By the way, did anyone else get the subtle dig that the Minister is a yellow bellied coward? ;)

foxchick1: The funny part is, so am I.

D C JoKeR H S: Yeah, I have a funny feeling that that may happen, but I'm still unsure who would attack them after everything. Especially, since it's magic.


Speculation


Malfoy smirked as he snuck out of the Ministry holding cells with the ease of a cat that got the cream on the sly. Pettigrew wrapped inside a silk handkerchief, inside of his expensive robe pocket. Truthfully, he was disgusted at the thought that a rat of all things was traveling on his personage; but if he wanted to gain more power, he knew that he'd have to carry around the little sycophant, for a while. After all, how long would it take him to turn Pettigrew into his own personal lap dog? Especially, since the Dark Lord was long gone.


Nana rubbed her forehead in annoyance. Reborn hadn't even left, yet, and Fon and Skull both wanted to return with him. She knew that she was their Sky, but she wouldn't stop them. I-Pin asked to remain under her aunties care, so it was a small relief, but Nana had a suspicion that before this *petrification business* was finished, that she'd have to clean up a former Arcobaleno mess, "Fon, call me when you know more. Don't..."

"Don't worry, Nana, I promise to keep Reborn in check. Skull will keep me in line," Fon assured his Sky.

"Don't worry, big sister! We'll catch 'em!" Skull smiled as he hugged Nana, "Be careful, there's a lot more going on here, if Sirius never got a trial. That means corruption in the government."

"I know. We'll be careful..." Nana began.

"Also, ask Sirius if there was anyone who could have gotten him released sooner," Fon added cryptically.

"You got that feeling too?" Nana asked her brothers in all but blood.

"Yes."

"They aren't wrong, Nana. I've been doing a bit of reconnaissance, while you were occupied with Harry," Reborn handed her a thick file. "Here's what I gathered. Read it and then give it to Viper."

"Got it," Nana took the file and while she wanted to delve into it immediately, they were still at the Weasley's, and thus in an insecure area.

"What exactly do those files hold?" Madam Bones frowned at Reborn, "The Ministry may have it's idiots, but it's not completely corrupt."

"Nosy witches get stitches," Reborn smirked as he and the other two former Arcobaleno left.

"Amy, he's right," Sirius frowned at Amelia Bones. "The Ministry is corrupt. Crouch threw me away without a trial. Dumbledore had the power to save me, but he only saved his pet Death Eater. He threw Harry in with his former-"

"Sirius, she gets it," Nana put a calming hand on her brother's shoulder. "Now, does anyone have any idea how long Reborn's tranquilizer will last on Mrs. Weasley? I'd rather get this confrontation over with, and her being out isn't the best time to-"

"She's waking up, Mama," Takashi frowned in slight annoyance. He'd been having a nice chat with Chrome and Ginny, which was now being interrupted by Ginny rushing to her mother and making sure that she was all right.

"Mum! Mum! Are you okay?!"

"Ginny?" Molly Weasley slowly came to, a bit calmer than most expected, "What happened?"

"Mr. Sinclair shot you with a tranquilizer," Nodoka stated calmly. "You were becoming hysterical and he was concerned for his charge."

"His charge?" Molly repeated curiously.

"Nodoka means me, Mrs. Weasley. I'm Nana Yamamoto, Harry's cousin, and my husband and I are now Harry's legal guardians," Nana stated calmly.

"I thought the Dursley's-" Molly began again, only to be cut off again, by Nana.

"They were. Petunia may be my cousin, but I prefer Harry. He's one of mine, now. I have the Goblin's support in that," Nana showed Molly the document again. This time, Molly seemed to be a bit better managed, at least her temper was. Nana suspected that it was a side effect of the Rain bullet Renato had shot her with. "I do appreciate the fact that you've tried to take care of Harry; however, I must question the fact you never removed him from Petunia's guardianship."

"We tried. Dumbledore said that he was better off with his relatives. You don't argue with Albus Dumbledore-" Molly Weasley began.

"Madam Bones, is there a test for loyalty potions and the like? I believe that this woman may need to be purged of them," Nana scowled at the mere thought. "And will someone explain to me who this moron Dumbledore is?"

"He's the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Ron replied, "He defeated Grindelwald!"

"Helped develop the twelve uses of Dragon's Blood and helped the Flamel's with the Philosopher's stone," the Weasley twins supplied.

"He's also the Chief Mugwump of the Wizengamot and has an Order of Merlin, but he's as batty as a pigeon, with the fashion sense of a blind man," Percy Weasley snorted in annoyance.

"And you listen to him? It sounds like he has too many hats. Is he controlling, Percival?" Nana asked the middle Weasley, who was surprised to be called by his full first name.

"Yes..." Percy raised an eyebrow.

"Has he ever seemed to be playing a role? Plotting anything?" Nana questioned the children.

"A bit, yeah," Ron stated in surprise, as he started thinking about it. Everything Harry had been through. The reason the teachers wouldn't listen to them. The reason that Draco Malfoy was allowed to get away with so much at school... "He orchestrated it. He's using us as pawns; sacrifices for his long game. Whatever that might be?"

"If he plans on making Harry a sacrificial lamb to the proverbial slaughter," Nana glowered at the thought, "he will be in for a rude awakening."

"Slaughter? Where?" Belphegor glanced around hopefully.

"Soon, if Nana has her way," Viper calmed the blood crazed young adult.


Deep in the forests of in Albania, a dark shade screeched it's fury! Something wasn't right. They were supposed to be receiving aid from one of their most loyal! Instead, it had to rely upon it's newest most loyal snake, as it fizzled itself into the body of the immense reptile.
