Chapter 36
Gulping slightly at the man's smooth yet gruff voice Harry replied, "Hogwarts..."
"Hogwarts? Where is that?" the male asked with a frown on his face, "The last thing I remember is that I was about to be killed...Where about in the sea is Hogwarts? East? South?"
"Err...Hogwarts is not in any sea, it is a castle inland, surrounded by a forest," Harry replied nervously as he kept his wand out, "The only large body of water around here is the Great Lake where the Giant Squid and Merepeople live."
"Inland? Great Lake?" the man asked again as he ran a hand through his black hair causing his hat to fall off, only to stay attached to him due to a strong orange cord that was tied around his neck, "How about we try this again? My name is Portgas D. Ace, what is your name? Do you know anyone who is a pirate around here or at least has some way of getting me back to the battle so I can help out."
"Pirate...what do you mean? There has not been a single pirate in really long time...I think pirates are extinct a long long time ago," Harry said as he eyed the strange man in front of him, "Now days pirates are only something to be seen in children's books or for people who want to fantasies about being swept away in the arms of a pirate and carried out to sea."
"Sounds like some of the bad romance novels a friend of mine sometimes reads," the man, Ace, said with a snort before letting out a deep sigh, "So no pirates...which is weird as this is the great age for pirates and sailing the sea...so...where is this Hogwarts place?"
"In Scotland..." Harry replied slowly as he eyed the man carefully, "Why did you fall from the ceiling for? What do you mean that you was about to be killed? Why are you injured so badly for? How did you get into my rooms for? Hogwarts is supposed to be one of the most safest and protected places besides Gringotts, you are not supposed to be able to suddenly appear in Hogwarts, let alone fall from the sky."
"Yeah...well sorry about that but I always like to try to do things a bit...differently than others do," Ace replied with a cheeky grin, "Through...I have no idea what this Hogwarts place or this Scotland is...this must be a new part of the world that no one has ever seen before!"
"If you say so," Harry replied slowly as his eyes flashed from Ace to Seto's gift of female underwear that still laid on the arm of the sofa and back to Ace again, "Why...do you know how you came to fall into my rooms for? Do you know how to get back? You said that you had to go and help in some battle of some kind? Is it against Voldemort? Or is it against Dumbledore? Or...are you on your own and against both of them?"
"Voldemort? Dumbledore?" Ace asked with confusion clearly written across his face as he gazed up at Harry, "Who are they? Some big shot pirates who want to become Pirate King?"
"How can you of not heard about Dumbledore and Voldemort?" Harry asked in disbelief as he gave Ace a shocked look, "And what is a 'Pirate King?'"
Ace let out a low groan as he raised his hand and rubbed his face with it, "Well...that confirms it, I am now in a strange new land...I wonder what adventures I will find...and Pirate King...you know, finding Gol D. Rogers treasure? The One Piece?"
"I have never heard of any of those things or any of those people," Harry replied uncertainly as he inched closer to his new underwear in an attempt to hide it from the other male's view while also keeping his wand trained on the grinning man, "I...you must of somehow travelled a very long way...do you know what kind of magical transportation you used? I have never heard of a type of transport, magical or muggle, that can have the person falling from the ceiling with weird sea side sounds and a white light."
"White light? Weird sea side sounds? I do have to admit that found myself being covered in that strange white light before I suddenly found myself here," Ace replied with a thoughtful expression on his face, "But the question is why am I here? What happened to make it so that I suddenly turn up like this?"
Realising that the stranger was lost in thought and he was not yet an enemy Harry slowly inched around to stand next to the arm of the sofa. Looking back at the man who now seemed to be muttering and talking about marines, pirates, a Luffy, a strange whitebeard and something called a devil fruit, whatever that was.
'How can a fruit be evil?' Harry thought as he raised his free left hand and moved it towards the female underwear that Seto had given to him 'I wonder if it would be possible for me to call a House Elf to get the Madam Promfrey...the guy is obviously insane with all of this talk about pirates and fruit.'
So absorbed in his plan of hiding the underwear and wondering if he should get medical help for the strange person in front of him Harry did not notice that Ace had stopped talking until it was too late. With amused eyes Ace watched as the younger smaller male tried to hide the female underwear from his view, with the innocent expression that this strange male wore on his face at times Ace could not help but to be reminded of his little brother, Luffy. Watching the other's hand slowly rising in a poor attempt to move the female underwear from his view, through Ace had spotted the lacy kinky garments the moment he had pulled himself together, he decided to take pity.
"So...I take it that you have a lover?" Ace said easily as he allowed his aching body to rest for a moment while taking in his new surroundings.
"Yes," Harry replied quickly with wide eyes full of shock and surprise, "How did you know that?"
"It is simple kid," Ace replied with a teasing smile on his face, "I could tell by the wrapping paper and ribbon I am sitting on, or at least I think I am, and the lid of the box that is on the floor is resting close to me and the fact that you are a bit too innocent and shy to go around buying yourself female underwear, it would definitely have to be a more confident lover who has a kink for this type of thing, I get the feeling that if you went into a shop to buy yourself female underwear then you would come out looking like a bright red tomato that is about to squeeze."
"I could do it if I wanted to!" Harry cried out as he quickly picked up the underwear and held it to his chest as his whole face became one bright red spot, "J-Just because these first few pairs where brought by my lover does not mean I cannot go and buy some myself!"
"Oh really? I bet that you have not even tried putting one pair on, by the looks of it your lover was so nervous about your reaction to his little gift that he gave you the present and ran out of the rooms, was this the first time you have ever received this sort of gift?" Ace asked with a small smile while thinking 'This is fun and it should give me some good blackmail material if I need it to help me return home...'
"Oh shut up you...you...you falling from the ceiling person!" Harry cried out as he shot Ace a weak glare, "So what if you are right? What about you? How did you even get involved in something that lead you to falling away from this place full of pirates and One Bits and into Hogwarts?"
"What is this Hogwarts place? It has a kind of weird name to it," Ace replied calmly while eyeing up the female underwear that Harry held protectively against his chest, "So...are you going to give your lover a treat and wear a pair?"
"A pair?" Harry asked in confusion as Ace's words caught him off guard, "What do you mean?"
"The underwear that you are ever so protectively holding in your hands," Ace replied with a roll of the eyes, "Are you going to wear it? Or are you going to surprise me and suddenly break out into surprise and start juggling the underwear?"
"O-Of course I am going to wear a pair!" Harry cried out as he tried to ignore his emotions inside of him as they began to turn into a raging whirlpool, "I...I had just finished opening my gift from my lover which turned out to be these pairs of underwear when you suddenly came dropping out of nowhere."
"I did not appear out of nowhere, I feel from the ceiling, that is somewhere," Ace replied with a small smirk on his face, "And what is Hogwarts? Do you know of anyone who might be able to heal me up and send me back to where I came from?"
"You would want Madam Promfrey to heal you and I am not sure about who would know how to get you back...where ever it was that you fell from through the ceiling," Harry replied as he carefully eyed Ace, "And...I guess it is alright for me to tell you, after all you seem to be a muggle and no self respecting Death Eater would pretend to be a muggle to try and get at me."
Raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms Ace started to wonder just what he had gotten himself into this time, it seemed that he was just as bad as his little brother for finding himself in the middle of crazy confusing adventures that made no sense at all. As Ace waited for the boy to reply he carefully looked over the strange clothes the other wore and the strange weapon that had been pointed at him from the moment he had landed.
