Things got a bit pointed when Harry started asking Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley in his letters exactly how much on the important things Hogwarts told the parents. It was something he had wondered ever since the Troll incident to be honest.
Including a "if you go in this place in the school you will die" ever got mentioned to them in letters or if everyone just considered Dumbledore being barmy. Did the parents of the Hogwarts students have even the slightest idea of what was going on in the school?
Harry wanted to see exactly how the pair would react, and go from there. It depended on them and how Dickens the adults of the wizarding world turned out to be. He hoped the parents had more compassion than the teachers and government officials he'd met. Not that he believed it to be exactly difficult for them to do that.
So far he didn't have respect for authority as even Hagrid had done some completely insane things with whatever power he had. And of course what had been done to Hagrid in the name of the minister being "seen doing something" was disgusting.
The fact the minister said that to someone who was an elder statesman and likely figured out that from the start said a lot about the man. And that possibly Ryoma and Hayato would just need to flash their insane smile to make Minister Fudge wet himself in complete and utter terror.
Of course he wondered if any of them were knew what the United Earth year calendar meant. From what he could tell wizards still prefered Anno Domini for the calendar, but did know of the more universally used one.
'Of course they could know the Earth is more or less united as the Terran League but don't say that in Hogwarts as that'd require mentioning things not related to magic in school,' Harry mused.
He was finding his first two years at Hogwarts to be extremely shallow on information on many things. He got more and more annoyed about that lack of information the more he thought about it over this summer.
It seemed like he was paying a lot of money and not getting a lot of useful things out of it. Even with all the electives and Harry sure Ron would pick whatever he felt was easy.
Harry wondered how Ron ever felt he'd get to be head boy with that sort of thing. Even if Percy wasn't head boy, Harry was sure Ron's older brother would know what it took to become one. The Boy-Who-Lived was completely sure taking easy classes was not one of the criteria for the position and honor.
Harry wondered about his best friend sometimes.
'Man is he not going to like finding out Scabbers is really a man,' Harry sighed. There was no real good way to bring that up, and he realized he didn't even know what the UK WW even called their police force.
"If that's one of those everyone knows things I'm going to punch someone in the face," Harry muttered.
"Given you say something like that every twenty minutes when you think about your boarding school it can't be a very good school," Shiro commented.
"Everyone that goes there says it is the greatest school of magic and one of the safest places in the United Kingdom," Harry said with a bitter laugh. "I don't think they know the actual meaning of the words greatest and safest."
"Probably not," Kuro sighed.
"Of course I'm wondering what bonehead idea the minister will have," Harry sighed. "He'll need to be seen doing something and it never is an effective measure."
Harry had a feeling how Minister Fudge handled that crisis at Hogwarts was typical for him and Harry didn't just get to see him on an off day. So Harry wasn't looking forward to seeing what stupid measures had been put in place with them thinking Sirius was trying to get into Hogwarts.
"I think if Wendy spent five minutes dealing with that crap Tuddy would come out and conquer them," Masaki mused. "And not want to rule it anymore after a day."
"I'm starting to think I have the patience of a saint or the ability to let it go of a dog," Harry grumbled.
"Speaking of dogs how is your godfather doing?" Masaki asked to try to change the subject.
"His mind and body are healing, he misses me and worries about me," Harry said after a moment. "And hoping that Wormtail doesn't die from a panic attack before I can get him."
"You know we could go and get him," Masaki told Harry. "It won't be that hard."
"I can do it without the usual sort of chaos we make," Harry stated. "I mean we go to the Burrow Fudge might get possessed by some extradimensional spirit and several alien forces consider the Burrow a good place start their invasion from."
None of Harry's roommates disagreed with that being possible. In all honestly that all kinds of weird things happened to Londo Bell made it much easier for Harry to handle being here. They had the same insane luck he did and wanted to help people as well.
It made him feel like these people could understand him. Harry knew that Ron and Hermione just weren't able to completely. Not that he held that against them or anything, but he could tell they were trying to understand him and coming up short.
Frankly it relieved Harry that they weren't as he won't wish what happened to him on anyone.
Though Harry wasn't sure what to make of Luna Lovegood. He'd been writing to her as well as the others and she was unique.
Harry had this feeling he was going to have to protect Luna if the Ravenclaws were bullying her. He was not going to put up with any of the shite if he could deal with it. He was through expecting Hogwarts teaching staff to actually do anything.
'I just wonder exactly much that attitude will destroy Hogwarts as Major Zonvolt and the others would consider house points and such to be meaningless trash,' Harry thought in amusement. 'Hell they'd probably want to see me wreck it.'
He then wondered if he sent a chill down the spine of the Hogwarts staff with that thought. Like they could tell someone was pondering something disturbing.
Harry chuckled in amusement at that thought. He also was sure that Sirius would find that funny as well. Maybe Ron would like it too as he thought about it.

If Silene was honest with herself she frankly didn't care either way about most humans or even the various aliens to come to the Earth. They could do whatever they wanted and it was no concern of hers.
Other than one person who she hated with every fiber of her being. Akira Fudo kept her from her beloved Amon so he had to die. The painful manner the better in her mind.
So she was surprised to see being with a massive head like Psycho Jenny, but with much smaller limbs than she had come out a rip in reality.
He also had a much bigger chin than Psycho Jenny. Really the thing was huge and hard to for anyone to miss.
"Well hello beautiful," Magnanimous said with a grin and she could tell exactly what he was looking at on her body.
Silene glared at the….whatever he was…and snarled.
"Get to the point," she stated sharply and crossed her arms over her chest.
Magnanimous sighed. "Fine."
The former chairman of Galactic Combat Championship Federation hovered so he'd be eye level with the demoness. To Silene's surprise he just was looking her in the eye and not at other parts of her body now.
"There's people that want your help," he told her being all business now. "Dealing with the group that Devilman has worked with."
"Londo Bell," Silene remarked. "So you were one of those that battled them in the past and failed."
The alien being narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"They cost me everything," Magnanimous growled. His eye then twitched. "Everything!"
Silene smiled at that. Though it was more a baring of teeth than anything pleasant.
"Good," she said sounding vaguely amused. "I can work with that."
Inwardly Magnanimous also was pleased as that meant his...boss...for lack of better terms got another source of pawns to use. And as long as it wasn't him doing the fighting and dieing was ok with the manipulative alien.
He was the only important being in the universe to him. Always had been and wasn't going to ever change.
Silene saw clearly exactly what her ally was, and he was just a tool for her to use against Devilman and nothing more. Perhaps she was easy to read to this being but she never had hid her intentions. She had this feeling her "ally" liked to hide everything he intended from everyone until it was too late for them.
'He'll find playing those sort of games with demons to be the last mistake he ever made,' Silene mused.
Still she wondered who this boss this being spoke of was. They might be more of a problem than their errand boy.

In one of Librarian Works labs there was a problem.
No one was sure what DNA to use to make a right or left hand man to the cyber newtype carbon human they had made. It didn't have to be anything special they just needed someone to pilot the MSN-04B Sazabi they had sitting around. The Hurricane Sazabi as it was to be called after it was upgraded.
At random the DNA of Harry Potter got picked as it fit what they needed.
The instant the combat data was put into the carbon human things that should have been left alone happened as the effect of the horcrux in Harry's forehead changed the personality.
Instead of something resembling Harry Potter's personality it was instead that of an in control of himself and lucid Tom Riddle.
It took Thomas, as he decided to desire being referred to as, mere moments to realize his original self had really let himself go in a lot of ways. Something had made him go insane and rant instead of keep his charisma and guile.
Thomas was a survivor and someone who adapted. He was in a world of mecha, warriors, and aliens.
He smiled as he was sure those that followed just the darkest impulses of humanity had to be around and enjoy watching the world burn if given a chance.
There literally was a whole universe out there for Thomas. He barely could contain his excitement at that.
But first thing was he was he had to make sure whatever mech he got was silver and green.
V-V-V
Lowe Gruele looked over one of the F-50D Guntanks Londo Bell had gotten. Anaheim Electronics assured everyone that unlike the Lotos which were made for stealth missions that these transformable units could take an insane beating and keep on going.
Lowe already did see the problem of cannons needing to be manually loaded. Another issue was the hatches could easily get stuck open.
Though given it was a prototype that they had some issues to work out and fix wasn't a surprise. That came with the territory. It made him smile as he started thinking about ways to fix those problems.
The mobile suit needed its own beam rifle as it really couldn't use the regular ones of Jegans, GM IIIs, Rezels, GM Sniper EXs, and such. This transformable Guntank was a compact unit and a bit shorter than the usual mobile suit.
Lowe was pretty sure that sooner than later the reported toughness of the mobile suit was going to be tested.
"Come on Lowe," Kisato Yamabuki yelled. "We got to get ready for the wedding."
"Oh...OH!' Lowe said and barely avoided hitting his head on the ceiling of the main cockpit of the Guntank. "I forgot that was today."
Kisato sighed. "Come on then."
"But…" Lowe said before being yanked by the back of his shirt as Kisato knew he'd be there all day otherwise.
"Ok, ok," Lowe said as he was being dragged out of the mech.
Lowe then realized it wasn't Kisato that grabbed him but Ken Kaido. Who turned Lowe around so he could look the Junk Guild member right in the eye.
"Hey if I got to get dressed up for this...so do you," Ken remarked as he'd never met the groom but was stuck going to this.
"Right…" Lowe said as he didn't want to disagree with the clearly not that many morals person who liked swords and daggers.
Lowe wondered what sort of suit Coop was to wear. Mostly as it was going to be very tasteful or very not so much.
It would be interesting and made Lowe chuckle as he "escorted" by Ken to the crew quarters.
Around the ship others that would need to be reminded of the wedding were told. The mecha was made ready to launch in case something weird happened at the wedding.
They really hoped this wedding would go off without a hitch but better safe than sorry.
Everyone also wondered if those that worked at Danner Base were going to wear their usual clothing at the wedding. Clothing that no one was sure how they managed to get that approved of as it looked like they hired the man who created the costumes on the original Star Trek show and the first season of The Next Generation to make them.
Many clip on ties were put on for the special occasion. Those that could actually tie a tie properly did so for this special event. Those that could avoid all that and wear class A uniforms did.
Lowe emerged from his quarters dressed in a suit and fighting with the collar as it felt too tight. He then noticed Harry in that suit he wore at that funeral and looking very natural.
"Boarding school had basically this sort of thing as the uniform," Harry shrugged as he noticed how uncomfortable in a suit Lowe looked.
"Harry you know how against killing I am right?" Lowe asked.
"Yeah," Harry replied. He was well aware how against killing the Junk Guild was and how Lowe did his best to learn how mechs were made so he could destroy them without killing anyone.
"Even I wanted to kill your relatives after hearing what Sanger said," Lowe admitted quietly.
"Lowe I'm sure every member of Londo Bell would do that," Harry said after a moment. "Even that one captain everyone thinks is a berk."
"Hey let's get this thing over with!" Ken called out and Harry could see the man completely hated wearing a nice suit.
Then again the man prefered a vest, slacks, and boots as his uniform. He was not one for formality or possibly sanity either.
Yuu looked out of place, and seemed to be staring at Hime.
Hime wasn't sure what to make of that. She wasn't sure what to make of Yuu at times, but he was light years ahead of his sister in sanity.
Harry blinked seeing the Getter team dressed up like high class chauffeurs. They actually looked comfortable dressed like that. Or at least not as distressed as Lowe or Ken were. Which made Ryoma's insult of wearing his street clothes to the funeral even more massive than Harry first believed.
Hayato Jin snorted. "Wait until you see the date Ryoma has for the wedding."
"Must you tell everyone?" Ryoma sighed.
"You are the one who has a girlfriend," Hayato commented. "One that thinks the red strings of fate bind you together."
Ryoma groaned. Yes Hayato was going to tell everyone he could about that.
"Well that is distressing," Preventer Wind commented. "Then again none of us imagined there would be a woman willing to be his girlfriend."
Harry blinked as Wind looked very comfortable in a fine suit and tie. Harry was surprised the man had a date for the event, but then again didn't really know the Preventer liaison that well.
Said woman rolled her eyes. "I can think of someone as hardheaded and stubborn."
"I'm not a psychopath like he is Noin," Wind muttered.
"Though surprised Char didn't sue you for ripping off his gimmick," Ryoma chuckled.
"My brother has more important things to do with his time than legal action with people that wore helmets or masks," Sayla remarked as she came out of her quarters. "Or wearing sunglasses as their disguise to be honest."
Harry knew there had to be a story behind that and far more to Preventer Wind than he was aware of. Then again he also didn't know the man that well either.
"We'll tell you later," Sayla told Harry as she saw his expression. "It is complicated and we have a wedding to get to."
"Ok," Harry said after a moment.
"Don't worry I will tell you, but we don't have enough time before the wedding," Sayla explained.
Harry understood that. The stories involving the various members of Londo Bell got weird and kind of long at times. What didn't kill you made you weirder was Londo Bell's motto.
Harry had no idea that some people had tried to make that their official motto.
"Let's get this over with," Ken stated. "I need to get out of this monkey suit sooner than later."
Then came the shock of seeing Coop cleaned up.
"What?" Coop asked as he was dressed in an unusually understated for him black suit.
"You actually look well dressed," Sayla admitted.
Coop grinned sheepishly. "I had some help."
"They did good work," Hayato Jin remarked.
Harry then noticed the expression Ken had as this seemed to be taking too long for him. "Well look at the time. Let's go!"
Soon they arrived at the chapel that Goh Saruwatari and Anna Aoi were to be wed in. With Ryoma's girlfriend there waiting for him.
Even hearing about her and knowing she was real wasn't enough for some people as they stared at her.
"She...she's real," Koji muttered in shock. "Ryoma actually has a girlfriend!"
Sayaka gave Koji a dirty look.
"Baka," she muttered.
Kasumi Yamada took her boyfriend's coworkers complete shock at him having a girlfriend well. Then again she also had been through this from the other Getter pilots already.
Amuro Ray looked at the groom. It had been five years since Goh had even piloted his mech seriously. He was nothing more than just walking wounded since he lost Mira in the final major battle years ago.
A battle he, the Getter team, and several other people in the room like Roy Focker were there and fought in. A battle he wasn't sure who those mysterious gundams that had helped them out where.
Amuro wished Goh the best if his bride to be brought him happiness. Goh deserved some of that.
While Harry looked at the mother of the bride and blushed. As did Masato Akitsu given he'd never seen anything quite like Doctor Kiriko Aoi. To say she was an attractive woman was like saying the Grand Canyon was a massive hole in the ground.
"She has that effect on people," Excellen Browning said with an amused expression. "I'd need the bunnygirl outfit to try getting that sort of attention."
Kyosuke just put his hand on Excellen's shoulder. He didn't need to say anything for her to know he wanted her to stop teasing them. For the moment at least.
"Fine," she grumbled.
"Thanks," Harry said to Kyosuke.
Before Kyosuke could say anything the wedding started.
Harry then got to see that Goh's glasses also doubled as his cellphone as he took a call and Harry imagined Dumbledore doing the same at the welcoming feast.
Even with his feelings in doubt about what the man had or hadn't done Harry chuckled at Dumbledore having to tell someone they knew he was busy at that time and they could have called him before or after the feast with no problem.
There also was the fact that Harry had no illusions that the call to the groom's glasses/phone a wrong number or a telemarketer.
Ken already was throwing off his coat and dress shirt to put his vest back on.
"Here we go again," Amuro Ray remarked.
"Don't worry," Coop called out to the bride. "We'll be back for the reception with your husband!"
Anna didn't look consoled by that remark in the slightest.
"I'm sorry Anna but they need us," Goh said in a wary tone.
"And given your husband is on the inactive reserves something really dangerous has happened," Bullet stated.
Anna was about to disagree with that when her mother put her hand on her shoulder.
"It is something he has to do," Doctor Aoi said softly. "Something they all have to do."
Anna did not look happy to see her husband and his allies leaving. Goh likely was the only one who would believe she'd stay behind and not get involved in some manner.
They just hoped it won't get her killed on her wedding day.
V-V-V
Harry wondered what caused a portion of a city to end up in the sea as he and the others arrived where the Core Gunner and G Gunner had been trying to hold off the Mimetic Beast.
"Getter Beam!" Ryoma called out and the Getter Radiation caused chunks of this Mimetic Beast to melt like butter and show what the being used as a frame. The mecha frame was one that looked very familiar to those that were at the final major battle with the Mimetic Beasts.
"That Mimetic Beast better not be growing on what I think it is," Amuro remarked. "Or we might see Goh react like Ken."
"And not referring to me," Ken Kaido said as Ryo was unloading on giant monster.
"That looks to be the Club Mariner," Hayato commented. "Wonder what that Mimetic Beast has been doing for the last five years as this has to be from the final battle."
"Nothing good," Goh called out as Dannar got into the fight.
"Yeah doubt it wants to visit Mira's gravestone," Ryoma mused.
"If it did I won't allow it!" Goh shouted as the Dannar arrived.
The Core Gunner then got into position and sniped the Mimetic Beast. Shizuru Fujimura wasn't going to let the chance to attack the Mimetic Beast escape her grasp.
And likely to avenge her partner as Koji likely was dead.
Koji Tetsuya as Koji Kabuto was fine and letting the Mimetic Beast have it with energy blasts from Mazinger Z's optics.
"Hime I got an idea," Yuu told Hime. "Get your Brain Powerd next to mine and hold out your blade"
Hime did so and Yuu got Yuu Brain as it was called to hold out the sword as well. A massive blast came out and struck the Mimetic Beast in the chest.
Roy Folker grinned as it felt great to be back in a variable fighter after so long. He kept his distance from the Mimetic Beast and then unloaded the gunpod of his VF-19 on it.
Wind flew in and used the heat rod of his Tallgeese III on the Mimetic Beast's face.
Sayaka fired her breast missiles at the Mimetic Beast. For once she didn't get to the feeling it was staring at her like it never expected to see that sort of attack.
"Double Thunder Break!" Tetsuya called out as the soaking wet and in water Mimetic Beast was struck by lightning.
The Mimetic Beast screamed in pain and went into a blind rage.
"Well that went well," Ken remarked sarcastically. "Now it is even more pissed off."
"And your opinion is important to me how?" Tetsuya retorted.
Funnels flew off Nu Gundam and let the Mimetic Beast have it.
Shin Getter One and Alt Eisen flew in at the distracted an enraged monster and introduced it to stake revolvers and tomahawks.
Kyosuke could have sworn he saw something inside the Mimetic Beast, but he paid attention to avoid being hit by the thing instead of that.
Noin and Excellen gave the two mechs cover fire to get away from the Mimetic Beast.
"It sure can take a beating," Ryoma said amused. "So Goh they tell you about what was in the last Mimetic Beast we had to fight?"
"Not really," Goh admitted.
"Yeah it was possessed by the angry as hell ghost of an evil wizard that a toddler kicked his ass," Ryoma snorted. "And then got beat by an eleven year old ten years later."
"Us defeating him was likely the most dignity he'd gotten in a long time," Hayato grinned.
"Whatever you guys say," Goh sighed as he was pretty sure they weren't kidding.
"Maybe with a little luck we can beat up Harry's arch nemesis to the point he'd be too embarrassed to go out in public," Ken laughed. Seriously that loser was so scary they won't say his alias?
Harry really hoped that Ken wasn't underestimating magic users. Though he had this gut feeling a lot of them would be dead in seconds if they tried fighting Ken Kaido without his mech.
Not that everyone would take for fight in fight or flight responses, but Harry had this feeling wizards and witches were even worse at it than most people. Which said a lot as they all had a lethal weapon on them that could bend reality with their wands.
Yet to Harry it seemed like they didn't have the resolve or training to make use of them effectively for combat. Though Harry was willing to admit he also hadn't seen their professional dueling circuit fights either. Something that might change his mind greatly on that issue.
Harry then got out of the way of a strike from the Mimetic Beast as it tried to crush his Rezel. The beast missed and instead smashed through the gravemarker for Mira Ackerman.
With everyone noticing there had been a woman dressed like a bride that also had been there just after that.
"...Anyone thinking that wasn't Goh's wife?" Hayato Jin. After a moment of silence. "Yeah I figured the same."
"Shite," Harry muttered.
While Anna found herself in a mech bay of all things, and with a pink and white mech of very...female appearance.
So Anna got into the cockpit of the mech and powered it up.
Once the mech got out of the rubble and sealed off mech bay everyone that had been there five years ago knew what it was.
"The Neo Okusaer," Sayla muttered in surprise.
"So that's where you put it," Hayato said with a bit of bemusement. "Clever."
"Who is piloting it?!" Goh snapped as it seemed his wedding day was filled with ghosts of his past and he really was not happy about this.
Doctor Aoi came on the screen and Harry could swear the woman's breasts were bouncing like they had their own gravitation field. It was kind of distracting to him to be honest.
"My daughter," the scientist and chief of staff for Dannar Base proclaimed proudly.
"Anna get out of here," Goh ordered. "It's too dangerous out here for you!"
"I am not leaving you Goh!" Anna yelled.
"You have no idea what you are doing," Goh snarled.
"Has that really stopped most of the people here their first time in a mech?" Anna retorted.
Goh did not want to admit that was pretty much the case with a lot of the people he was fighting alongside. It really won't help his case in wanting her to stay out danger.
"That's not the point Anna," Goh managed to get out.
"Yes it is!" Anna yelled back.
"Are they really doing that now?" Noin muttered.
Sayla and Amuro really hoped their relationship never got that petty and whiny. Especially in public they hoped to have avoided sounding like that.
Wind inwardly groaned as this was not the right time for a married couple to squabble. He also hoped he and Noin never sounded like that when they had relationship problems.
Ryoma wondered if his Kas-chan would even pilot a mech. He really won't mind that and it might actually be fun to see if she could do it. Probably need to start her off with a Rezel in trainer mode over a Getter for the first time, but still be a decent start.
"Hey lovebirds mind doing this later?!" Ken yelled as he was fighting the Mimetic Beast. "Some of us have more important things than listening to you whine about your damn problems!"
"Shut up!" Goh and Anna snapped right back at him.
Ken gave them a rude hand gesture with Mazinkaiser SKL. Ryo inwardly rolled his eyes at his partner's childish response.
Getter-3 then slammed the Mimetic Beast into the ocean floor.
"And that is how you do it instead of this whiny crap," Ryoma called out.
At Danner Base Doctor Kiriko Aoi sighed at that childish remark.
"WSO and Saotome had to use just being able to physically survive those mechs as their only criteria for recruitment," she remarked.
"You were expecting anything else?" Kagemaru stated.
"A touch of class would be nice," Kiriko mused.
"Rocket Punch!" Koji called out in the fight and his mech's fists slammed into the Mimetic Beast as it surfaced.
Harry was shocked to see the that one Dannar base pilot was still alive. If only barely.
"I'm not dead," Koji Tetsuya groaned.
"He's a hard man to kill," Ryoma noted with an amused smile.
"He'll need that," Ryo Magami commented.
"No kidding," Wind stated as he thought about Heero and his taking things that would kill most people and surviving.
Perhaps the pilot of the G Gunner could be the same.
"Calling the Blue Earth right now to pick him up," Noin said as she transformed her Taurus to fighter mode. She also wondered again why Graham hadn't retired his Union Flag for a Taurus given it was a superior mobile suit.
Megas then covered the Mimetic Beast in a thick layer of ice. Though everyone doubted even Coop would want to lick a Mimetic Beastcicle.
The ice already was starting to crack as the Mimetic Beast didn't intend to stay trapped. With a mighty shattering and a scream of rage the giant monster got loose.
The Dannar leaped into the air and delivered a punishing flying kick to the Mimetic Beast, and like Goh had never been benched unleashed several more kicks to the invader.
The G Core worked closely with Dannar and fired the arm mounted laser gun at the Mimetic Beast. Again the pair worked together like Goh hadn't been out of the cockpit of the Dannar for years.
Anna then leaped into the fray and did a jump kick like her husband.
"Not bad," Musashi complimented her.
"Goh you and Anna need to combine," Kiriko told them.
"But…" Goh said.
"Let's do it!" Anna called out.
They then heard this strange and disturbing noise.
"Oh that's me," Coop said as they heard intestinal gasses rumble in him.
"Well that's gross and disturbing," Anna said after a moment.
"Let's do this then," Goh said quietly.
The Neo Okusaer and Dannar merged into Godannar and the merged mech turned bright red.
"Been too long since I've seen that," Ryoma grinned.
There then was a blue glow trailing the from the head of Godannar as it flew at the Mimetic Beast. A fist was shoved into the giant monster, and Anna pulled the trigger. The Mimetic Beast crumbled to dust.
With some of the sharp eyed Londo Bell pilots seeing something human sized fall out as that happened. Coop managed to catch her with Megas.
"Is that who I think it is?" Amuro gasped. He had a feeling things were going to get complicated for Goh if that really was her.
It wasn't every day that someone's MIA lover is found in the belly of a beast. That was one wedding gift that no one expected the newly weds to like.
"You mean the blonde or some other person?" Hayato mused.
"Take her back to Dannar Base," Doctor Aoi ordered Londo Bell. "And tell Goh nothing about this."
"When Goh flips out we will tell him you said that," Ryoma commented in a tone that made it clear he was sure Goh would find this out sooner or later.
Kiriko gave a slight smile. "That's part of why I am in a command position and you merely are told to wreck things Mr. Nagare."
"It is more fun that way," Ryoma snorted.
V-V-V
Ron Weasley was a very confused near teen. He actually broke out the muggle studies book of one of his older brothers and trying to see any mention of anything Harry wrote about. As jealous as Ron could get of his best mate he had no doubt that the muggle studies book was really out of date.
Of course Harry also asked questions Ron either didn't know or thought everyone knew that. It actually made Ron realize that the muggleborns won't know that and his friend might as well be considered one for all he knew about the wizarding world.
Which also explained why Harry sounded like he not impressed with Hogwarts anymore. Ron had to admit even he was wondering what bloody mess would happen this year. At this point he won't be surprised something dangerous happened. Getting taken out by giant chess pieces one year, and nearly ending up left for dead by a faker the next would do that.
Ron then snorted as he could imagine how Hermione was working on how a wand would shoot a spell out of the wrong end. He wished her the best of luck on that project as he had no idea how that happened.
Though he had to be honest and wondered if Hogwarts could survive Harry as things seemed to get even stranger for his friend. Or if his friend would want more than house points for doing the work of the Aurors.
Thinking back on it Ron wondered if fame really was worth it when everyone seemed to think they could say whatever they want about you and expect you to clean up their messes. Or at the very least that seemed to be what fame got his friend.
Ron hoped his getting some fame would not be quite that bad. And also that he won't try teaching at Hogwarts to get people to buy his books.
'Of course he didn't try teaching the only magic he was good at,' Ron thought to himself.
Ron hoped this year's DADA teacher won't do something dangerous. He wondered if there was going to be a dangerous running joke of DADA teachers trying to do something nasty to Harry.
He really hoped that wasn't the case as it stopped being fun a long time ago.
Ron also wanted to pilot one of those mobile suits. Even if it was what they considered an old Cleansweep instead of a Nimbus 2000 or the upcoming Firebolt. He wanted to see what one of those was like so bad. Harry made using one of those sound like so much fun. And his mech was just a standard one.
Ron had this feeling that he'd get a chance to get into the cockpit of a mech sooner than later. As Harry had put it he now was surrounded by people like him and trouble liked to find them.
The one thing Ron was forgetting or didn't pay attention to in the letters was many of Londo Bell were shot at the first time they got into a mech. They had trials by fire and he wasn't likely to have it any differently.
V-V-V
Voldemort was starting to regret on not trying to go through the core of the planet to get to the other side. Also possessing someone with enough money to get to Japan was down to random chance when you don't have the Imperio spell.
He was disgusted to be reduced to this state when he used to be feared by all.
It didn't help he also wasn't aware who in Europe he was. That thing had sent him flying and he was still stumbling to find where he was.
"So this is the terror of a community," Voldemort then heard.
The wraith turned and saw an older asian man clad in purple.
The Undefeated of the East looked amused. "Flight from Death seems so fitting for something unwilling to leave."
Voldemort growled and tried to possess the martial artist and found himself forced out of the man. Riddle could have sworn there was a heart with swords in the air after he was driven out. And yet he also could tell as powerful as this man was he also was dieing.
"You..." Riddle muttered. "You aren't long for this world and yet did that."
"I am not long for this world but I still have things to do," Master Asia agreed. "Not that you will be around much longer if your luck against a member of Londo Bell holds up Thomas."
"I am Lord Voldemort," the wraith growled. "And there is no way they can kill an immortal."
Master Asia merely chuckled at that. "You won't be the first to claim that and no longer be here."
"What do you want?" Voldemort inquired.
"To give you a way to get to your destination," Master Asia replied.
From out of the ground came a massive white robot head. It opened the mouth and out came a man with metal bits on their face.
"Who they were is not important," Master Asia smirked and Riddle figured this was a calculated insult.
That it didn't manner to the martial artist what he rode in to his destination.
And yet Voldemort could sense some sort of power to the being that the head had been in and he got to see it. A white, blue and red giant like some of those he'd seen. Yet there was a darkness to it. A glorious darkness he wished to take for his own.
He then noticed a man attached to the machine and whose body was mostly that metal. Something to keep in mind for later. Perhaps after becoming supreme ruler of the Jama Empire he could bend that power to his will.
Master Asia avoided rolling his eyes. It was like dealing with that clone that was nothing more than a whiny teenager with good acting skills. Still for the Earth to recover from the damage done to it by humans he had to use these self important egomaniacs.
Riddle entered the GD cell animated body and it felt different than the last body he'd possessed.
"Good, now we can get going," Master Asia stated.
Lord Voldemort let this stand only because he intended to kill the man later. He had work to do and power to gain. Then he could gain his revenge on all that had stood in his way. He would make all of them respect and fear him.
That a group that had no real fear of him existed was something he had to eradicate. Especially with that child being part of their ranks of a group that the Order of the Phoenix wished they could be like.
For his part Master Asia ignored the fact both of them were men that took on a new name to replace their birthname.
All he hoped was that this sadistic wraith would in trying to soothe his wounded ego prove a worthy challenge for Domon and Londo Bell. And not be some big fish in a tiny pond that outside that pond looked to be nothing but a complete loser.
Master Asia then looked off into the distance and had this feeling in bones that something Londo Bell was needed for was about to happen.

It wasn't everyday a floating island shook, but today was one of them as Machine Island had a massive tremor.
Machine Island falling out of the sky and into the ocean would be more devastating and do more damage to the world than a mere tsunami. It would likely end all life on the planet Earth.
There was only four days before that would happen and only one group that could get into the cut off from the world floating island.
