Chapter 18
Lastime: Snape made some new invention and Remus/Sirius still couldn't grasp that Haku was no longer the infant that they remember and now the litle gang are heading towards the Black estate. What will happen?
They arrived and landed in a square of unkempt grassland and to the wizards it was freezing cold. How could the missing-ninjas not be bothered? Snape threw a piece of parchment towards Haku who caught it effortlessly. "What's that you have their Haku?" Zabuza questioned as he leaned over the girl to see the paper as well. It read:
The order of the Phoenix Headquarters can be found here at number 12 Grimmauld Place, London.
Sirius was ticked off that damn Dumbledore used his place as headquarters for the damn organization! He turned angry blue eyes towards his two wizard companions.
"No time," Snape snapped. "We need to get inside!" and he walked briskly ahead of his companions while Remus took care of the lights with his wand.
Haku and her companions looked around, but where was number 12? Was it under a power Genjustu?
Remus answered, "It's hidden so no one can enter."
"Yes, yes now Haku hand me back the paper," Snape drawled out lazily. After all Haku could easily dispose of the paper herself, but he's keeping his word and plus dying now wasn't an option. With the flick of his wand he set the paper in flames.
"Let's go," he finally said and led Haku, Zabuza and Kiba inside whilst a fuming Sirius stayed behind only being comforted by his friend who tried to explain as calmly a possible, but Sirius would just give him a dark look and he would sigh in defeat. Maybe when they get inside he could explain.
Sirius was ticked yes, but there was good thing that came out of it the order members won't be coming till late August so that gave Haku and her friends enough time to adjust. They finally stopped and a battered door appeared out of nowhere. Well to Haku and Zabuza it was under a powerful Genjustu and was unfazed by the act. Then just as swiftly as the door appeared dirty walls and grimy windows followed. Sirius tapped his wand and the doors opened and he led the others inside.
'This place is in need of cleaning Zabuza-san cannot stay in such a place. I must begin cleaning in the morning,' Haku thought frowning. Even if they were used to staying in abandon houses Haku would clean a little just so it could be worth there stay and she'll be damn if her master…Coughs more than master really stayed in a filthy place even if it was grand. Zabuza however just looked unimpressed and it wasn't just him. Kiba wasn't either.
Snape turned to leave, "I must go back to Hogwarts," he said then nodded towards Haku and Zabuza the latter's being suffocated by a now excited Black. Snape rolled his eyes and turned to continue when he looked back over his shoulder only to see Remus just standing there.
"Get over it already." Remus blinked and turned towards an impassive potions master. "Wh-What?"
"Stop dolling in the past and accept Haku for what she is now or lose her forever," then he was gone with a crack.
The reason is because Snape…. Snape already has and the other two need to bye-pass their illusion of a baby that's no longer that baby, but a Shinobi with a hidden heart.
Sirius gave a tour as Remus slightly followed them deep in thought then turned to leave not saying a word. The house was very interesting to Haku as she with her companions by her side looked curiously around. Whilst Sirius was giving the tour they passed by his mother's painting who may I might add didn't look happy at having a half-blood and muggle in her house.
Sirius however was ignoring her, "Now then I guess that's enough of touring. You three must be tired, how about I show you to your ro-
"We're sharing a room," Zabuza said. There was no way in hell he was going to be separated from what was his.
"What…?" Sirius spluttered then he bellowed, "No way In hell! My godchild isn't sleeping with you... You git!"
Zabuza quirked a brow, Sirius turned towards Haku as if he could do something, "Young lady you're sleeping in your own room. You don't need to worry about being in fights"-
Now Mrs. Black was never one to be intrigued by other folks if they weren't pure-blood, but…
All the young girl did was tilt her head and smile oh so sweetly, "Surely godfather-san you don't want a repeat of our first meeting?"
Zabuza chuckled and Sirius should have seen this coming really he knew they shared a room, but, but. "No damn it!" He shouted.
Wrong... move.
Zabuza's cleaver was swiftly soon by Sirius neck just stopping below the line. "Haku ..."He looked towards the girl. Mrs. Black and other paintings near her side eep'ed.
If they acted like this …How would they act if Dumbledore or someone else told them that they would have to be separated only just for a few months?
Only one thing; cause complete chaos and possibly a life for the price…. yea nothing good.
Haku's expression never changed and Sirius gave up … literally. "Fine you can." He turned towards Zabuza when he no longer felt the cleaver threating his life. "Do something to her and you'll regret it."
Zabuza restrain from rolling his eyes, was that supposed to be a threat?
Once in their room Zabuza let out a jaunty laugh, "You think he got the message Haku?"
Haku was standing by a dresser and taking her hair out of its customary bun. She turned around amusement in her features, "I think he did if not we can just emphasize a few more times."
Kiba who was leaning on the bed post snorted, "As if he's just like the other man. The werewolf….. They need more than just a threat to see that you're not the infant that you once were."
Both missing- ninjas chuckled, Indeed." Haku said smiling then walked away from the dresser over towards Zabuza who was sitting on the bed his cleaver to his left(Haku's right) stopping in front of him. "Shall I prepare the bath?"
Zabuza grunted then smirked, "You can do it later let's go."
Sirius sighed in resignation as he went back downstairs to join his friend in the kitchen. "Hey..." he greeted mood down.
"Hey back."
Silence greeted the duo. "So why are you here? Came to join me while I reminisce in old days?" Sirius asked his friend who sighed in resignation.
"Maybe Snape was right..." He said dejectedly.
"Yea, what..?" Sirius asked pouting like a three old who didn't get the cookie from the cookie jar.
"We should accept Haku for what she is and put the baby as- As just that an infant that's long gone." Remus answered with a solemn expression not wanting to accept it himself, but …
"Look we're just making it hard for us and Haku. She won't accept us as it is being all shinobi-like, but just maybe we..."
Sirius sighed looking down on the table as he twirls his finger in circles, "I know, but it's hard to see her as anything, but the infant that we remember."
"True."
Sirius showed Remus to a guest room and with an air of someone who's been defeated he went upstairs to his own room for the night.
Meanwhile….
Haku flipped as she dodged the oncoming cleaver. Zabuza jumped in the air going airborne as he changed his way of attacking. Haku having to always expect a different tactic doing every training session, dropped down and leaped away when Zabuza came hulling from above.
His cleaver didn't even make contact with the ground as he twisted and swung again before placing it over his shoulders taking out a Kunai knife and charging towards Haku.
Clash, standstill as the two try to unbalance the other.
Kiba yawned and rested down on the soft grass, "Looks like this spar will be a while."
Thirty minutes later the trio went back inside. Haku prepared their baths and they were set for the night just laying awake while Kiba slept freely. Haku scratching his ears every now and again. Zabuza shifted placing an arm around Haku's frame, "You alright woman?"
Haku faced her precious person with a loving smile a tint blush on her cheeks, "Just thinking Zabuza-san."
Zabuza raised a brow his bandages long gone untill the next day, "Oh..was it about me?"
Haku continued to smile as her eyes closed automatically, "Always."
As you have read I have changed some things, Sirius doesn't' know about the order and Dumbledore did it without his consent. The reason Sirius was missing/hiding doing 'harry' Haku's third /fourth years.
