Chapter 20

Setting Things to Right

Haruhi laughed. "I'm sure no one will pour anything on you, at least I don't think the twins will..." Her smile was soft and cheerful as she closed her book. "We should start heading to the school after I call Tamaki-sensei."

Draco nodded, standing. "And the Hitachiin's," Draco said, grimacing. He really didn't want to be on the other side of a Granger lecture if he 'forgot' to invite them.

Haruhi grabbed her cell phone as she replaced her books in her bag, ready to take them back to her room. "Ok well I'll call Hikaru and Kaoru first." Flipping open her phone she pressed a feew numbers an was soon caling them. "Hey guys, Granger-chan wants to meet at the school, we're all going out today...yes all. Yes that includes Potter-kun." She sighed and rolled her eyes, smiling at Draco. "Alright, we'll see you there." She clicked the end button and looked through her numbers.

"Now just to call Tamaki-sempai." She sighed and held the phone to her ear. "Hello Tamaki-sempai?" She suddenly holding the phone away because of the older boys loud voice. "Yes, yes...Meet us at the school and please bring Weasley-sans. Alright...ok...ja ne sempai." She groaned and finally closed her phone.

Draco blinked at her. "He is rather . . . overly dramatic, ne?"

Haruhi nodded as she rubbed her ear. "He always has been."

Draco shrugged and turned toward his room. "I'm just going to get my robes, then we can go. Unless you have something you need to do first?"

Haruhi shook her head. "No that's ok. I'll just finish putting my things in my room." She quickly grabbed her bag and carried it into her room.

Harry, immersed in his work, jumped when Fawkes appeared in a flash of fire.

"Bloody hell!" he exclaimed, his breath heavy. Fawkes tilted his head at Harry, and trilled an apology, before showing him that he had a letter tied in his beak.

Harry blinked, but took it from the phoenix, recognizing Dumbledore's handwriting immediately.

:Harry,

I hope everything is going well with you and your fellow students. I trust that you are handling the situation in a very reliable manner. Do not worry too much about the responsibility, as you have my complete trust that you are able to handle it.

Snape has not yet awoken, and it does not seem like he will anytime soon. We have, however, learned that it has something to do with his shields. Once we have found the cause of his sleep, I will be sure to inform you immediately.

Please take care, Harry. Remember, you are on your own at the moment.

Albus Dumbledore:

Hermione hung up the phone before rushing upstairs to grab the list of numbers from her room and hurrying back downstairs.

She'd have to call Hunni first, because Kyouya's number wasn't among the others on the list, but that was okay. Hunni could call Mori while she called Harry.

It did not take long for her to dial the number.

"Yes, hello, this is Granger, Hermione. Can I speak to Huninozuka, Mitsukuni please?"

Several minutes later, Hermione hung up, and dialed Kyouya's cell number. Hopefully, convincing Harry would be as easy as inviting Hunni had been.

Kyouya looked at his phone and raised an eyebrow. "Nekozawa?" He flipped open his phone, "Moshi-moshi?"

"Hello, Ohtori-san, this is Hermione. Can I speak to Harry?" Her voice was very cool as she spoke. It was obvious that she was still very angry.

Kyouya held the phone away for a moment only to bring it back to his ear. "Yes of course." He walked to Harry's room knocking on the door. "Potter-san, Granger-san is on the phone for you.

Kyouya frowned at the door and knocked once more before opening the door. "Potter-san...?"

Harry blinked up at Kyouya when the door opened. "Yes?" He asked, his voice a lot more friendly than it had been earlier.

Kyouya blinked looking at the large flame colored bird. "Oh my..." He adjusted his glasses and walked in looking a bit closer at the bird. "The phone is for you...its Granger-san..." He handed Harry the phone absentmindedly.

"Oh!" Harry jumped up and grabbed the phone. "What's up?" he asked.

"We're all getting together to head to the town's wizarding . . . place. We've invited everyone, including the hosts. You know, making an entire day of the whole thing. Do you want to come?"

"Uh, sure. Sounds like fun."

"Great! Just one thing."

Harry frowned, turning to pick up the letter Dumbledore had sent him. "What is it?"

"I want us to tell them the truth about your 'fear'."

Harry froze. "Why?"

"I want to bring Nekozawa-san with us, it's only fair, and he can't come if they all think that you're afraid of cloaks and hoods."

"But then we'd have to . . ." he trailed off remembering that Kyouya was still in the room.

"Not everything," Hermione told him, not needing him to finish. "Just that there's a war going on, and that he looked a lot like the Death Eaters."

Harry bit his lip. "Fine, alright."

"Great! He'll be excited!"

"Alright, I'll see you then."

"Bring your robes, Harry."

"Why?"

"The muggles don't have robes Harry. And, if nothing else, yours will take the least amount to shrink for Hunni."

Harry pulled the phone away from his ear and glared at it. "I'm not that short!"

"No, your not, but you are the smallest of us. Just bring you're robes, Harry, we'll figure everything out then."

"Alright, where are we meeting?"

"The school."

"I'll be there. Bye, 'Mione."

"Bye, Harry."

Harry hung up and handed the phone back to Kyouya. "How curious are you about the Wizarding World?" he asked.

Kyouya blinked looking from the bird to Harry. "Fairly curious, why do you ask?"

Harry smirked, the look fairly out of place on him. "Because everyone's going shopping. And you're invited." Harry then turned back to the desk, with the bird still sitting there, and picked up his quill, dipping it in the inkwell once before scribbling a reply to the headmaster.

Kyouya nodded and looked back at the bird. "What exactly is this bird?" He reached out his hand, palm up, knowing to be cautious around new animals.

Harry glanced up. "Hmm? Oh, Fawkes is a pheonix." he shrugged then. "I don't know if there are any other kinds. Hermione would though."

He bit his lip slightly as he read over the letter.

:Headmaster,

Things seem to go alright here. We had a bumpy start with the muggles, but things seem to have settled for the moment. If anything else happens, we'll be sure to let you know. Thank you for the updates concerning Professor Snape.

Harry Potter:

Kyouya nodded and petted the large bird's feathered head, resisting all urges to read over Harry's shoulder.

With a firm nod, Harry rolled up the parchment. "Here you go, Fawkes. Can you say hi to Hedwig for me?"

Fawkes gave a happy trill, and took the parchment from Harry before disappearing in a flash of fire.

Kyouya resisted jumping back as he pulled his hand away. "Interesting..." He murmured.

Harry nodded. "Yeah, he is. He . . . well, I don't think 'belongs' is the right word, but he's the Headmaster's. I've got to go grab something, and then we can go."

Kyouya nodded. "I'll go have a car prepared for us."

Harry nodded and gathered up his books. It wouldn't do to leave them lying around and have someone find them. Once they were all in his bag he left the room, taking off the silencing charm, and hurried to his room. There, he took out two pairs of robes and placed the bag inside, magically locking it.

That done, he headed downstairs to meet up with Kyouya.

Kyouya was already down stairs and outside, waiting for Harry in one of the limos.

Harry, went outside to find Kyouya. Upon seeing the limo, Harry rolled his eyes. Really, weren't normal cars good enough? They all got you to where you wanted to go, didn't they? But he didn't say that when he climbed into the vehicle.

"We're meeting the others at the school," Harry said as he buckled himself in.

Kyouya nodded once, telling the driver where to go and soon they were off, Kyouya not really saying much to Harry.

Harry just stared out the widow, his robes resting in his lap. It was not long before he was bored.

Hermione hung up, and headed out to the main room, where Kirimi was playing.

"Um, Nekozawa-san? We're going shopping. I was wondering if you'd like to come with us. You know, see if there's anything you can use?" she just hoped that she wouldn't have to get more descriptive with Kirimi in the same room.

Nekozawa caught on and nodded. "That would be very wonderful." He looked down at Kirimi. "Kirimi-chan, will you please behave for the maids?"

Kirimi nodded. "Okay, Oni-chama!"

Hermione smiled. "I've just got to go grab something, and then we can leave."

She tossed a smile at the smaller girl before leaving the room.

Nekozawa nodded and called for one of the butlers to have a car ready for them. A car that wasn't a limo, that is.

Hermione grabbed three of her robes and hurried back down stairs, making sure to bundle them up so that nobody could tell what they were.

"I'm ready," Hermione said, when she came back down and found Nekozawa.

Nekozawa nodded and lead her out to the car, holding the door open. "After you."

Hermione smiled at him and climbed in. "Thank you."

Nekozawa only smiled as he slid in next to Hermione. "It's only courteous to hold the door open, no need to thank me."

Hermione shrugged lightly. "Perhaps, but it's always nice to know that it's appreciated."

Nekozawa nodded as Hermione told the driver where they were headed then settled back into the seat, getting ready for a fairly long drive.

Haruhi hummed as she wrote a note for her father just in case they were not home when he got back.

.:Dad,

Malfoy-kun and I have gone out shopping and we are also hanging out with friends. We'll be home as soon as we can. Call my cell if you need anything.

Love,

Haruhi:.

She smiled at the note and stuck it on the TV, knowing that would be the first place her father would look.

Draco, having gone to his room to grab several of his robes, carefully folded them over his arm as he came back out. "Ready?" he asked.

Haruhi smiled over to Draco with a nod. "Yeah, let's start walking."

Draco nodded, heading over to the door to pull on his shoes. "I hope they all get there soon."

Haruhi laughed and nodded, pulling her own shoes on before opening the door and heading out, waiting for Draco to shut the door so that she could lock it.

Draco did so, and stepped aside, watching her quietly. "Shall we, then?" he asked, when she was done.

Haruhi nodded as she put her key into her small purse that she had grabbed on the way out. She walked with Draco down the stairs and out on the side walk, heading towards the school.

Draco walked in silence, thoughtfully taking in everything muggle that he saw.

Soon the car stopped in front of the school and Kyouya and Harry both exited on their respective sides of the car.

Soon the twins, Tamaki, Hunni and Mori all finally showed up. Kaoru and Hikaru ran up to Harry when he got out. "Hey Harry-neko!"

"How was it with Kyouya-sempai?"

"He didn't say anything did he?"

Harry blinked at the twins, a small smile appearing on his lips. "Hey. It was alright, and no, he didn't."

The Weasley's stepped out of Tamaki's limo and glared at Kyouya.

The twins sighed in relief and Kaoru wrapped his arms around Harry's shoulders before pulling away. "We were worried."

Harry shook his head. "I told you not to," he said, sounding vaguely confused.

Tamaki walked with the Weasley twins as they made their way to the group. Huni and Mori waved as they walked up.

Haruhi sighed as they finally reached the school and did not even wave when she saw Kyouya; instead she looked at Draco and sighed. "What is he doing here? I wouldn't think Potter-kun would have forgiven him."

Harry raised an eyebrow. "I invited him."

"Why?" Hermione demanded as she and Nekozawa approached.

"Because I wanted to."

Draco was confused as well. "I wouldn't have," he said as he moved closer to the group.

Haruhi nodded walking with Draco.

Nekozawa stepped out of the car as they approached the school and quickly made his way around to the other side, opening Hermione's door and extending his hand. "Here we are."

Hermione took it with a light blush. She really wasn't used to such things. It made her feel kind of . . . special. She smiled at him, but it faltered when she saw Kyouya. "What is he doing here?" she asked, voice practically a growl.

Nekozawa looked at Kyouya and shook his head. Huni had told him what had happened and all he could do was give the younger boy a dark look.

The twins sighed and then looked at the others as they began to ask Harry questions.

Haruhi stood next to Draco looking at Kyouya and shaking her head, while Nekozawa only gave him a small nod.

Kyouya could feel the cold looks coming from the others as he stood there behind Harry.

Harry, glancing around, felt his lips purse, as his anger seemed to rise. "Now everybody listen up!" he exclaimed, stepping out of the twins embrace. "The only one that had any right to be angry at Ohtori-san for what was said was Fujioka-san and I, as that was who his comments were aimed at. I have forgiven him. And if I can," his gaze traveled from Hermione, to Draco, to the Weasleys, and finally settled on the Hitachiins. "Then so can you."

Hikaru and Kaoru shivered a bit, not used to Harry's harsh look. They both nodded then looked down a bit.

Haruhi sighed. "Potter-kun, I don't blame them for being angry with him. Actions speak louder then words and he invaded all of your privacy." She motioned her hand to the others. Not at all loosing her cool but also not giving up.

Nekozawa only looked from Haruhi to Harry then down at Hermione.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "I never said he was forgiven for that," he said with a shake of his head. "But, he does have just as much right to come as any of you."

"Yes, well, even still I don't see how you could forgive someone who was so blatantly rude." Haruhi looked just as calm as ever, almost as if they had been talking about the weather or their class work. "Besides if you say he is not forgiven for uncovering your secret then why are you allowing him to tag along? Kaoru and Hikaru could have easily picked you up."

"Because," Harry said softly, "he's a friend. I may be angry with him, but that does not mean I will keep him from learning since he does know. The worst mistakes are often made in ignorance." His eyes drifted over the group then. "Nobody is perfect. And when we become friends with someone, we agree to be friends with everything about them, faults and all."

Haruhi shrugged. "Alright." She gave him a smile. Meanwhile, Hikaru only gaped at Haruhi.

Kyouya only shook his head.

Hermione's jaw was clenched. If Ohtori thought that he could get away with that just because he'd somehow gotten Harry to forgive him, then he had another thing coming. She'd just have to wait until Harry was out of hearing to tell him so.

The Weasley's were thinking much the same thing.

Draco just raised an eyebrow.

Harry smiled back at her. "Well, then. Since we're all here, why don't we pass out the robes?"

Hermione sort of jumped. "Right, Fujioka-san, I think this will fit you." She held out the robe she had brought.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Everyone else grab a robe. Potter, yours goes to Huninozuka-sempai."

Harry glared. "Yes, that has already been established, thank you, Malfoy." He then handed his extra one to Hunni. "Don't worry if it's too big, we can shrink it."

Haruhi looked at the robe and pulled it on over her clothes, surprisingly they fit very well.

The twins took a set of robes from the other twins. "Thanks" they chimed in unison.

Mori took one from the twin and looked at it for a moment then looked down at Huni. "Mitsukuni."

Huni had put the robe Harry had handed him on and looked up at Mori. "What is it Mori? Oh…" He giggled. "Mori is taller then the Weasley-chans."

Carefully Kyouya stepped forward and took one from Fred, easily putting it on and it fit near perfectly.

"Harry, you take care of Huninozuka-sempai, I'll get Morinozuka-sempai," Hermione said, drawing her wand. "If everyone else can make sure no one can see us?"

As Harry drew his wand, Draco and the Weasley twins automatically moved to shield Hermione and Harry from passerbies.

Mori held out the robes wordlessly. Huni stood in front of Harry with his arms out at his sides.

"Engorgio" Hermione said, pointing her wand at the robes, hoping it didn't go wide in every direction.

"Reducio," Harry said, his own wand pointed at Hunni, careful to point it at the robes only, and not, the older teen.

Huni shifted a bit as the robes shrank down to his size. "Thank you!" He smiled up at Harry.

"You're welcome," Harry replied.

Meanwhile after Hermione finished enlarging Mori's, he put it on and nodded to her in thanks

Hermione just smiled back. "Alright, Malfoy, you're the only one who knows the way."

Draco rolled his eyes but turned from the group.

Kaoru and Hikaru suddenly looked at Harry. "Ne, Harry-neko? Aren't you afraid of people dressed like Nekozawa-sempai?"

Nekozawa looked up as he heard his name and then looked to Harry. Soon everyone was looking at the black haired teen.

Unconsciously, Harry raised a hand to rub the back of his neck. "Uh . . . not so much?" he gave a sort of nervous half smile.

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"It was amusing seeing you run though, Potter," Draco smirked.

Harry glared. "You see . . . uh . . . there's kind of a . . . war . . . going on in England, and the other side wears outfits similar to . . . that," he waved a hand in Nekozawa's direction. "Except they also wear masks that look like skulls."

"And they don't carry puppets," Draco added, his smirk widening.

Harry glared again. "I didn't see the puppet!"

Nekozawa looked down at his cloak then to Hermione, looking very confused.

Kaoru only smiled while Hikaru tilted his head to one side. "So you thought he was one of them and took off?"

Haruhi could only stand and watch, not knowing either to laugh at the irony of it all or to feel bad for Harry.

Harry shrugged. "Well, yeah. Told Hermione, but . . . she waited to see the whole picture, and I ended up with the silliest 'fear' I've ever heard of."

Hermione giggled slightly. "Well, if you'd just looked, you'd see that he doesn't really resemble any of them at all."

Harry crossed his arms. "He did at a quick glance."

Nekozawa only waved them off. "It's okay, what's done is done. Perhaps we should go." He may not have liked being mistaken for a bad guy but he was more then used to it.

Hermione glanced at Nekozawa. "He felt really bad about it, after I explained it to him," she told him softly.

Draco nodded, once again turning from the group. "And, do try not to look like a bunch of muggles," Draco told them. "It would draw a lot of unwanted attention."

Nekozawa nodded and then looked to Draco for a moment. Haruhi only looked at Draco and shook her head.

Hermione frowned at Draco. "What he means," she said. "Is that you're bound to see things that you never thought possible. And that, at our age, if you're really . . . loud about it, it's bound to attract attention."

Harry nodded.

The Weasley's rolled their eyes. "Eh, don't worry too much about it."

"If you happen to get really loud, we'll get louder to distract them. They'll think that the group is always like that."

Haruhi only nodded while the twins made faces at Draco from behind Harry.

After a fairly short walk, they came a store that looked like it had seen better days. It had no sign out front, nor did it have anything to call attention to it. In fact, the only way you would be able to find this particular store would to be looking for it.

Without hesitation, which seemed out of place on the teen that scoffed at anything that wasn't up to his standards, Draco headed into it. The other wizard teens followed without hesitation.

Haruhi followed Draco in, not really taking any notice in the appearance of the building. Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other and shrugged. Soon all of the Ouran students were following the Hogwarts students, albeit cautiously, into the building.

The shopkeeper glanced up only momentarily, but, once he caught sight of their attire, he turned away, unconcerned. Draco paid him no mind, instead moving to the back of the shop, where two swords were mounted on the wall, crossed.

He turned to them. "Welcome," he said as he moved to pull down the right sword. "To Meiyo Roji," To the right of the sword, a door shimmered into being.

Allanasha Ke Kiri: Alright everyone, here's chapter 19. It seems that our favorite Ouran students are going to be getting a crash course in magic. Lol. I wonder what's going to happen … well, no not really … I already know. (Chuckles)

Aku: Look!! Its a new chapter XP. Ok, review please -. Also, for those of you who want to know what we did at Kumoricon, there are two videos up on Youtube. Both of them by us. – AllaAku2. They're the only two we have up XP. Hopefully that will change soon.
