Foresworn HP/VS

XX: Right back at it again

Yang's appetite reminded the witch and wizards of Ron's voluminous stomach. They watched as the buxomed girl devoured two of the Meal, Ready-to-Eat packs that Neville had acquired from the other side "Damn, she can eat."

"I have a rigorous training routine, you can't judge me." Yang retorted as she tipped the smarties down her throat. Meanwhile, Weiss delicately and tentatively picked at hers.

"How do you eat this stuff?"

"Same way, I please my lady, slowly and with great satisfaction." Seamus chimed in causing Weiss to shriek and Yang to choke.

"You think you're punny?" Yang retorted.

"I'm adorable, gorgeous." Seamus retorted, getting giggles from the girls.

Weiss looked at them "You know Neville and Harry?"

"Yup."

"He convinced you to come here and bring your...unique skill sets to Remnant."

Hermione chuckled "Nope. We convinced them. Neville's easy to convince; Harry on the other hand…He really didn't want to bring anyone back but the powers that be and the power that is Harry turned ugly; we backed a known quantity."

Weiss shook her head "We're intending to reach Haven Academy."

Neville nodded "So were we. We're heading there because Harry will head there himself and appear in a dynamic entry."

"Or fiery crash. Speaking of, where do you think he landed?" Weiss asked.

"Gonna be somewhere near Velvet. We've never seen Harry so head over heels for someone. We would normally tease him something ridiculous."

Yang giggled at the thought of her cousin "Yeah, he's something else. What do you think has happened to him?"

Hermione grinned as she took a swig from her canteen "More than likely captured by an enemy group, joins them only to backstab them."

"I don't think backstabbing his style; more beheading from the back." Dean chipped in.

(Harry) Harry knew getting punched was unpleasant, so was being eaten, digested. But being shot and then thrown overboard into the sand at close to 60mph well and truly sucked.

"Time to get to work." He thought as his aura protected him from the worst of hitting the desert. It happened almost exactly, as planned, Harry realised. He'd barely been in the desert for fifteen minutes before a heavily muscled arm lifted him out of the desert akin to a lion and a cub.

He found himself blearily looking at a grinning Yatsuhashi "Well, well, well, Harry. This is a…" Whatever Yatsuhashi wanted to say Harry paid no attention as Velvet had promptly wrapped an arm around his shoulders, grabbed his neck and kissed him deeply. The pair broke apart, Harry was delirious, talk about a reunion but the delirium was shattered by a sharp slap.

"That was for getting abducted in the first place."

Harry grinned, face glowing red. "I've missed you too. So what's happening?"

As Velvet went to respond "I take it you're Hadrian Branwen?"

Harry turned to look at the tiny woman "And you are shortstack?"

"I'm Deputy Headmistress Rumpole. I have a few questions."

Harry smirked, he spun Velvet around and brushed something into her back. "Unfortunately, Rumpole was it?Anyway I am not at liberty to talk…" With that Rumpole's eyes widened as Harry slammed his hands together, thunder ripped from his hands throwing everyone to the floor; and he was down the stairs.

Below the deck, Carmine Escalados and Bertilak Celadon were sat, SSSN occupied the prisoners. Sun looked up as thunder boomed "Harry! Nice to see you weren't turned into ash."

"Step aside SSSN. Give me those two and you'll live."

Sun looked at Harry, the latter of whom was sparking with lightning and either SSSN chose not to move or Harry moved quickly but Escalados and Bertilak had been grabbed. "Who are you?"

"The person who's being paid to rescue you. Now shift your asses and let's go." Harry snarled as he cut Carmine's ropes as Bertilak melted his.

"I'm afraid, I can't let you do that." A voice called, standing in front of Harry were Nolan Porfirio and Sage Ayana.

"Harry, let's go!" Carmine screeched, Harry turned as Rumpole and CFVY were making their way below deck.

"Some escape expert you're meant to be." Carmine shrieked, Harry adjusted his stance. Carmine was pretty sure her rescuer's eye flashed pink before something happened. She watched as Harry flicked his hand out and a colossal blade jumped off Scarletina's back and landed effortlessly in his hand.

"If you do this you'll be considered a criminal." Rumpole stated.

"Try and survive." With that Harry grabbed Bertilak, who grabbed Carmine. The trio stood together as a cylindrical pulse of emerald green energy erupted from the centre of the skiff.

"Bertilak, take your partner. Think up and step into that pillar of energy." Bertilak nodded with Carmine in a firm grip the pair vanished, as they did so the emerald light revealed a perfectly cylindrical hole.

"Thank you Team CFVY, Team SSSN…your cooperation has been most beneficial." With that he looked at Velvet, giving her a quick wink before vanishing.

Rumpole let out a snarl in frustration "I'll have him labelled as a fugitive and a criminal."

Velvet giggled "That's what he does; he has this technique for aggravating people. Besides, if you label him a fugitive and a criminal you're dismissing this."

The object turned out to be a scroll. It had been located in the curvature of her spine. She opened it, and inside it contained nothing but information on the Crown. "He's got information for us. Information that only my boyfriend can get due to his lack of fondness and regards to authority."

Rumpole held her hand out "I'm going to want to…"

"No." Velvet had, had enough. Her eyes hardened as she stared at the diminutive teacher "I have finally had enough of you. All you've done is diminish, demean and degrade those who transferred after Beacon fell. Quite frankly I dare say you might well be blowing any potential surprise sting."

Rumpole looked at the rabbit faunus "I will not arrest him. Now, please may I see what he gave you, Miss Scarletina."

Velvet reluctantly copied the information to Rumpole's scroll. "Now how the fuck did you get this?"

(Harry, Carmine and Bertilak) The moment Harry appeared behind the duo, two sai's were pushed towards his face and throat. "Bertilak, please control your sidekick before I prise her head from her neck."

Carmine growled "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Not important, my pay. I only get paid if I manage to get the pair of you back to camp."

Bertilak nodded, their saviour was good but there was something off about him. He was hiding something; which was a requirement to survive out here. The burly hunter wasn't going to push their rescuer; he wasn't blind! He could blatantly see that not all screws were attached when it came to him, his musings ended as a sleek black skiff approached them.

"Were you followed?"

"They've got engine and decking troubles. If we're lucky it might go boom."

"You realise their royal highnesses are going to be displeased with this."

"They said, bring them back, I've brought them back. How I do anything is up to me; if they want me to be thorough then they should pay more."

There was a scoff, but eventually a ladder descended and the trio climbed onto the skiff.

(Hunters et al.) "Bad news, Harry's bored a hole through both the floor and the ceiling. Good news he's not hit anything that's going to warrant us going boom; however, we're haemorrhaging fuel and dust like no-one's business. If we don't get help soon we're going to be stranded." Sage stated.

Velvet shook her head "We're right back at it again! Harry, damn you sometimes."
