Assassins in the Wizarding World.
Quick note – I read the reviews about why Akame and Leone cared about Harry and let me explain why Akame and Leone cared about Harry.
Akame sees him as a little brother, and she cares about her comrades in the manga and anime. She fears her friends dying. Leone is a big sister to everyone, so it would make sense that Harry sees her a big sister. Esdeath sees Harry as a worthy Wizard and wants to train him to become the strongest.
Chapter Seven: Solving the Egg.
It had been two weeks since the First Task and things had been going great. A lot of people had been congratulating Harry of his performance. The Quidditch teams in the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had been impressed with Harry's flying skills. But the students couldn't stop talking about the huge Magical power Harry had.
Normally, Wizards and Witches can have huge Magical powers, but it needed to be controlled, or else it would lead to disasters. However, it put the most powerful Wizards to shame that a Fourth year have so much Magical power, including Dumbledore himself.
The teachers had been impressed with Harry skills, (except Snape) and he decided to improve his grades from Acceptable to Exceeds Expectations, though he notice that Ron was getting jealous of this. He sighed, remembering the argument he had with Ron. When Harry got to the Common Room the night when his name came out, Ron didn't believe him and said he was a liar and a cheat.
Since then, Ron didn't bother to talk to him, but that changed when Harry took the Truth Potion and declared that he did not put his name in the Goblet of Fire and didn't asked an older student.
Though, when he was by the lake the morning after his name was called, he was surprised to see two girls walking towards him. One he knew from Herbology and the other from Potions. Their names are Daphne Greengrass and Susan Bones.
Susan Bones was a beautiful girl with long, red hair that was plaited, pale skin with a bit of tan, and blue eyes. She wore black robes, a black skirt, and a yellow tie. Her House was Hufflepuff.
Daphne Greengrass was a beautiful girl with long, blond hair that went past her shoulders, pale skin, and bright, blue eyes that were cold as ice. Like Susan, she wore the same robes, only the tie was green. Her House was Slytherin.
Daphne and Susan explained to Harry that they believed he did not put his name in and wanted to apologize for their house behaviors, well Susan's house. Harry, who was feeling sad a few minutes ago, started to enjoy the company of Susan and Daphne, though it was an odd friendship between the Slytherin girl, who thought the same thing as him.
In fact, he had spent time with them in private in the library in secret and he was starting to learn much about the Wizarding World, including the Noble and Ancient Houses. For some reason, Harry was starting to doubt that all Slytherins are evil, some of them are Neutral, who are neither Light nor Dark. Harry asked them if they would like to hang out with him and his friends. Susan happily nodded, glad to spend more time with Harry.
Daphne, on the other hand, said she will think about it. She didn't like the idea of sitting next to Weasley, who had told Harry that every Slytherin is a Dark Wizard. Harry seemed to read her thoughts and told her that he will try to talk to him about it, though he was sure that Ron won't listen.
However, the teacher Harry impressed the most was Esdeath. She had seen how Harry summoned his Firebolt and how he had taken a hit from the Horntail. He didn't even scream in pain because of it. She was even impressed when he concentrated so much Magical power. She had realized that Harry has potential and was about to be awaken, just a bit pushed will work.
And as promised, she had taught him how to use her powers. The lessons were hard and demanding, but he was determined to master this, even if it killed him, much to Esdeath's amusement, and become someone that no had seen over a thousand years ago – an Ice Elemental.
Tatsumi, on the other hand, had so much attention from all the other houses, especially the Gryffindor's, who were the House of Brave. The Twins from Gryffindor, Fred and George, had came up to him in the Great Hall and bowed before him, saying that he was a true Gryffindor. All Tatsumi did was smiled and said, "Thanks."
Leone had met the Twins and instantly like them. They had been doing pranks on people and The Twins told her much about the Wizarding World Pranks. Leone gave them a proud grin and told the Twins how to become better at pranking and how to get more money faster.
Needless to say, the Twins had been very busy for the next two weeks.
Akame was happy for Tatsumi and Harry that they managed to pass the First Task, though she was very annoyed that a lot of girls asked Tatsumi for an autograph and wanted to hang out with him. Akame would glare at them and sat on his lap, much to his embarrassment.
(at the Hogwarts Library)
Harry, Hermione and the Empire Group were in the library, pouring through books to help the Empire Group to find a way to go home and to solve the golden egg. Ron wasn't with them since he had detention with Snape for calling him a greasy git. Harry has a scar on his left forehead, it was faded but it was short. Leone would tease him that he looked badass with the scar and he blushed at the compliment.
Leone put the book down she was reading and huffed, "This is pointless, none of these books will tell us how to get back home." She glared at the book, like it was its fault. "I think that Tatsumi should try to win the tournament and see if that will send us back."
"Yeah, I think so, too." Tatsumi agreed, as he pulled another book out. The book was filled with Magical creatures. "All the books we read hasn't been helpful." Akame nodded, agreeing with him.
"Alright," Hermione said, disappointed that the books aren't being helpful. "why don't we start talking about the golden egg?"
"Well, when Tatsumi opened it, it started shrieking and wailing so loudly that Esdeath had to froze it to make it stopped." Akame explained, as she shivered from the loud shrieking and wailing the egg had.
Harry and Hermione also shivered when they opened the egg in their Common Room. It was so loud that everyone had different suggestions. Neville thought that the champions had to fight the Cruciatus Curse, while the Twins thought Harry had to attack their brother, Percy, in the shower.
They were about to start asking about clues when they heard two voices, "Hey, Harry/Potter."
Harry, Hermione and the Empire turned to look at the people who were approaching them. It was Susan and Daphne.
"Hey, Susan, Daphne." Harry greeted, and the others said hello, Hermione's was a bit tensed. "What brings you here?"
"We came here to do our homework and we saw you guys sitting there, so we decided to hang out with you." Susan explained, as she and Daphne sat down on either side of Harry. Hermione noticed a tiny blush on Harry's face, but didn't say anything.
"So, Potter." Daphne said, she too has gotten a tiny blush, though she hid it with Ice Queen mask, one that Esdeath would be proud of. "How are you doing with that egg?" Susan turned to looked at him, wondering the same thing.
"To be honest, we were going to talk about that." Harry replied, getting nods in return. "Me and Tatsumi opened it and it started shrieking, though I noticed the shrieking sounded like feminine. Do you have any ideas what we should do?"
Susan and Daphne thought about it for a moment before Susan suggest, "You should try putting it underwater. I think the shrieking is a mermaid, they can't talk on land."
Harry and Tatsumi nodded, and they planned to do that tonight. Right now, they want to make sure about it. They search through Magical Creatures books and learn about mermaids.
So far, things had been interesting, and the group had gain two new friends, though it was a matter of time before Ron finds out that the group is hanging out with a Slytherin.
"Why does Ron not want to hang out with a Slytherin?" Akame asked, as they put their things away and called it a night.
The group paused, not sure what to say. Daphne sighed, before turning to look at the Empire Group. "The House of Slytherin is cunning and ambitions." She said, and the Empire Group frowned at that. There's got to be more than that.
Harry seemed to read their thoughts because he explained, "Ron seemed to think that every Wizard and Witch in Slytherin are Dark because Voldemort was in it." Everyone flinched when he said Voldemort.
(The Living Quarters of the Empire Group)
Tatsumi let out a relax sigh as he sat down in the large pool the Empire Group had in their Living Quarters. He was glad that Dumbledore gave them this, he did not want to walk to the Prefects Bathroom, just so girls can spy on him.
The golden egg he brought with him was sitting at the edge of the pool. It was sitting there, waiting to be open. Tatsumi was considered to put it in the water, but he wanted someone to listen to the clue. He had asked Esdeath if she wanted to take a bath to relax from teaching. She happily nodded, glad to spend time with her boyfriend.
Tatsumi had closed his eyes before hearing a door open into the bathroom and footsteps. He turned to his left and found his breath taken away and eyes widened.
Esdeath walked into the bathroom, wearing a pale blue bikini top that was too small for her. The top part barely contained her massive breasts and it seemed to pop any second. She wore a pale blue sarong that was exposing more of her left leg, and underneath it was a light blue bikini bottom. She was absolute stunning.
Esdeath giggled at Tatsumi's stunned face and slipped into the water next to him. She sighed, feeling the water soothing her body.
She looked to her right and to her amusement, Tatsumi was still staring at her, with his mouth open a bit. "Oh, Tatsumi, my dear. Are you going to stare at me all day, or are we going to hear that egg?" Esdeath teased, gentling closing Tatsumi's mouth with her hand, and Tatsumi broke out of stunned state and became embarrassed.
He grabbed the golden egg, put it under the water and opened it. Instead of hearing shrieking, there was music. Tatsumi and Esdeath looked at each other and took a deep breath before diving underwater.
When they were under the water, they can hear a beautiful music that made Tatsumi and Esdeath smiled.
"Come seek us where our voices sound,"
"We cannot sing above the ground,
"And while you're searching, ponder this;"
"We've taken what you'll sorely miss,"
"An hour long you'll have to look,"
"To recover what we took,"
"But past an hour, the prospect's black,"
"Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
Esdeath and Tatsumi floated to the surface and they took a couple breaths, trying to get their breath back and was thinking about the song. Their hair, once dry, was now sticking to their bodies, Esdeath's was so long that some of it was in the water, floating.
"Esdeath, do you think that someone is going to get stolen from us?" Tatsumi panted out, looking at Esdeath, who had a thoughtful look on her face.
'It seemed that the Second Task is that huge lake.' Esdeath thought, as she remembered the lake she passed by when she walked into the forest.
Esdeath turned to Tatsumi, who had a worried look on his face, and said, "Tatsumi, I'm afraid to say it, but you might be right about someone getting stolen. For now, you should try finding a way to breath underwater."
Tatsumi nodded and was about to get up, only for Esdeath to sit on his lap, right where his crotch is. "Where do you think you are going?" Esdeath asked, making Tatsumi stuttered. "I hope you are not going to leave me in here, I think that I should punished you."
Tatsumi became scared when she said that. What was she going to do? He was about to screamed for help, only for Esdeath to kissed him softly on the lips. Tatsumi widened his eyes a bit before kissing her back, earning a soft moan from her.
It continued for a few minutes and they had to pull apart for air. Tatsumi and Esdeath rested their foreheads against each other, staring at each other's eyes.
"Tatsumi…I love you…" Esdeath said, panting lightly from the kiss and looked at him with half-lidded eyes.
"I love you, too…Esdeath…" Tatsumi said, staring back at her with bright blush on his face.
They kissed each other again and soon, they got out of the pool and went to bed. Tatsumi forgot to tell Akame and Leone about the clue and decided to tell them in the morning.
'If Bagman use my friends for that clue, I'm killing him.' Tatsumi thought darkly, as he hugged Leone and Akame closed to him, who were still sleeping and snuggled closed to his chest, with smiles on their faces and kissed him on each cheek.
Tatsumi had solved the clue and the group has gained two new friends, though it seemed that Susan and Daphne have a crush on Harry. Will Tatsumi and Harry find a way to breath underwater, or will they drown? Let's find out in the next chapter.
