AN: Hello peeps. Here's the fifth chapter. But before that.
To 'rozielrie'- Don't worry, my man. I will reveal what did Nana do and why is she so feared. However, I ain't exactly sure when will I reveal it. I might reveal it in the next few chapters or maybe later on the story. I don't know. Yeah the OC is a blonde. This chapter she's being introduced.
You guys already know about the language so I ain't gonna bother.
Enjoy.
Chapter 5
Abandoned Warehouse. Somewhere in London.
"How long will he still be asleep?" A muffled voice asked.
"We really don't know, Boss. We hit him with a normal stunner. He should have woken up by now. Perhaps he is so weak that it is taking his body so long to recover." Another voice said.
"Hm. Probably." The first voice said.
"If I may ask, sir, what is the point of using him again? Clearly he isn't of any use."
"Well-" Just before the answer could come out though, a groan came from a man who was bound to a chair, with a black cloth covering his face.
"Looks like our guest is coming to. Carlo, do be a dear and properly wake him up, will you." The owner of the first voice, Tsuna, said.
"Of course, Boss." Carlo said, while making his way towards the figure, and delivered a solid right.
"Wha- Wha's happenin'?" The figure said.
"Hey, Vito! Come here for a second and help me with this." Carlo called.
Another man silently walked towards Carlo. Together, both of them lifted a bucket… containing ice-cold water.
Both the men looked towards each other and mentally counted down from three. Before shouting, "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty!"
A loud, ice-cold splash was heard, followed by spluttering.
"It's cold! Too cold! Where the hell am I? Who the hell are you-" The figure's ranting was cut off by another punch.
"OK. Now listen, you pathetic worm. You're going to stop your whining and whimpering, and I will take off the cloth from your head, understood?" The figure nodded.
"The boss has taken time from his busy schedule to see your sorry carcass. So, you better be grateful about it, capiche?" The figure nodded again.
"Good." Carlo said before suddenly jerking the cloth off the figure's head, revealing Mundungus Fletcher, a trader in black market magical artifacts, whose main base of operation was Knockturn Alley. Fletcher is also a member of 'The Order of the Phoenix', a rag-tag group run by Albus Dumbledore (AN: Tsuna's opinion, not mine) dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort.
"Mr. Fletcher, it's a pleasure to meet you." Tsuna said in a cool, calm and composed voice. "I apologize my men were a bit… rough with you."
"Who're you?" Fletcher asked. He observed that the kid in front of him was absolutely, jack-shit loaded.
"I'm a person who can be your best form of protection or your worst nightmare. That will depend at how our conversation ends." Tsuna answered cryptically. No need for him to show his cards yet.
"Fine." Fletcher said. He knew the kid wouldn't answer his question. "Then, how may I assist you, sir?" Mundungus asked with sarcasm laced in his tone.
Carlo and Vito moved towards the disrespectful asswipe, to put him in his place. However, a hand and a look from Tsuna told them to back off.
"Hmm… got jokes now, do we?" Tsuna asked. "Though I liked that one."
"I'll be honest and blunt towards you, Mr. Fletcher… I need an informant." Tsuna said bluntly, a moment later.
"What?" Mundungus asked dumbly.
"You deal with the wizards' black market, don't you? So you may hear about some less than unsavory things, which you and me both know, are going on?" Tsuna explained.
"And if I refuse your request?" Mundungus asked. Brave, but foolish.
The answer to his question was the sound of two 'clicks' and something touching the back of his skull.
"If you refuse, Carlo and Vito back there, will both empty a round each. They will then proceed to throw your sorry carcass in the Thames, which is just a few meters away." Tsuna said with a slight edge in his tone.
With a gulp, Mundungus asked his next question. "What if I accept? What will I get in return?"
Tsuna simply pushed a book that looked like a catalogue of items.
"This is a catalogue of all the items currently available in the international black market, both magical and non-magical." Tsuna said.
"We will provide you with whichever product you need from this catalogue, to sell in Knockturn Alley. Additionally, we will also help you to sell your products in the international black market and make sure the majority of the profits find their way back to you. In return you provide us information." Tsuna further explained.
'Hook, Line and Sinker.' Tsuna thought with a smirk, as he saw the man's eyes light up with greed at the prospect of how much money he would earn.
"You got yourself a deal." Mundungus said. "But, what information do I need to collect. Also, who do I contact and how?"
To answer your second and third questions. Carlo and Vito will be the ones contacting you." Tsuna answered.
"And the first?" Mundungus asked with nervousness. Nervous at the thought of working with the two men behind him.
"I want information on everything. However, your main targets are the activities of both, The Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters." Tsuna said with absolute seriousness.
"Wh-Why?" Mundungus asked. Wondering what the hell did he get himself into this time.
"Some of my… possessions are at risk in this Civil War. And I don't trust either group to not harm them. Also, considering the Order's general ineffectiveness and your Ministry refusing to acknowledge the threat, I am being forced to take action." Tsuna explained. "Did that answer your questions?"
"Yes." Mundungus replied. Internally though, Mundungus knew the kid won't talk.
"Good then. Carlo, Vito. Please release Mr. Fletcher from his bindings and escort him outside."
"Yes, sir." Both men replied and carried out their order.
"Mr. Fletcher, just one more thing." Tsuna said, just as Mundungus was about to reach the door.
"What would that be?"
"I don't think I need to tell you this, but if you talk about this conversation to anyone… We will make sure, that you will be sleeping with the fishes." Tsuna threatened. "Good night now, Mr. Fletcher."
It was only after Mundungus was left outside the warehouse, his mind understood the meaning of the threat.
"Godammit! How the hell did I just get involved with the Italian Mafia?!"
A few hours earlier. Diagon Alley.
The Vongola group had exited Gringotts bank and was deciding on what to do. Tsuna had been kicked out of his funk by Reborn hitting him with a Leon-mallet.
"Alright, our main job is done. What's next?" Xanxus asked. He just wanted to leave this place, before he caught the British Magicals' stupidity.
"We still have to buy Tsuna's school supplies." Iemitsu said, before becoming comical again. "Tsu-chan! Let Papa take you for school shopping!"
"Sure. Why not?" Tsuna said before adding, "but drop the stupid act."
"Wait. Really?" Iemitsu asked, surprised. He was expecting his son to brutally shoot the idea down.
"Well, if you don't wanna… I guess I'll go alone, with Reborn in the background." Tsuna said.
"NO!" Iemitsu exclaimed. "I'll come! Even if you tell me not to, I'll still come!" Iemitsu now had fire in his eyes and spoke passionately.
"Well then, let's go." Tsuna said. "The rest of you boys, go collect some information. I want a full report." Tsuna ordered.
"YES BOSS!" The men said, before making themselves scarce.
"Tsu-chan! I'm going to have some ice cream okay?" Daniela informed. However, it was more of an 'I'm-going-to-have-ice-cream-and-you-can't-stop-me' kind of inform.
"Of course." Tsuna sighed. "Xanxus… well you know what to do."
"Hm." Xanxus grunted before going with Daniela to the ice-cream parlor.
"OK. Let's go shopping." Tsuna said, exasperated.
Flourish and Blotts. Diagon Alley. London.
Inside Flourish and Blotts, a beautiful girl with blonde hair, which was tied in a black ribbon along with ringlet curls and a beautiful pair of red eyes was going through a few books of charms and transfiguration. The girl was dressed in an expensive acromantula silk robe for witches. She was currently reading about an American wizard's theory on charms, and how much energy would casting spells cost, when a voice behind her said, "Ma'am, I hope you know that theory was proven partially untrue."
The girl looked up from the paper she was reading to see a boy of her age with soft spiky brown hair that was going in all directions, but was still looking neat on him. He had apair of caramel brown eyes that really suirted him. He was also wearing a really expensive muggle suit. In his hands were a few books on various subjects of International and British Wizarding Law.
"Really?" The girl asked. "Which part of it?"
The boy simply smiled and put his books down on the table next to the girl's books. He pulled out his wand from his pocket ('Beautiful,' the girl thought while looking at the wand) and simply highlighted the areas of the theory that was proven untrue.
"How was it proven untrue?" The girl asked, surprised, as she read the highlighted sections. This paper was only released two months ago. It would normally take a while before it was proven true or not. "And who unproved it?"
"Well, it was unproven by a Japanese wizard called Taurus Silver. It was backed by Cardinal George and Kisuke Urahara." The boy who had now taken a seat across her said. "I assume you have heard of them?"
"Taurus Silver, the mysterious 'engineer' of the Four Leaves Technology in Japan. But I also can safely say that 'Taurus Silver' is not the real name of the person.
Kichijouji Shinkurou, also known as Cardinal George. He's a Japanese muggleborn who discovered one of the Cardinal Codes at the age of 13. Currently attends Mahoutokoro School of Magic in Japan. The Ichijou Clan, one of the Ten Master Clans of Magical Japan, has him under their protection.
Finally, Kisuke Urahara. The head of the Japanese Ministry of Magic Research and Development Department. He is said to be an absolute genius." The girl listed down every person the boy mentioned.
'Damn. She's smart.' The boy thought.
"Oh where are my manners. I didn't even introduce myself." The boy said.
"I though you never will." The girl said with a smirk.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi. I guess in Britain it will be, Tsunayoshi Sawada. Pleased to meet you. Also, please just call me Tsuna." Tsuna said with a small bow.
"Black. Athena Cassiopeia Black." The girl said.
"Athena? As in the Goddess of Wisdom and Courage?" Tsuna asked.
"And inspiration, civilization, law and justice, strategic warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill." Athena listed. "She is, after all, the greatest Goddess in the world."
"Well then, guess I'm in the presence of a Princess." Said Tsuna.
"Oh? How so?" Athena asked.
"Even in Japan, it is well known that the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, alongside the Most Ancient and Most Noble Houses of Potter, Longbottom, Bones and Crane are basically royalty in the British Magical Community. Even if the Potter Family and the Bones Family are not in your list of the Sacred Twenty-Nine." Tsuna explained.
"I think I can safely say that these five Families are the British counterparts to the Five Great Noble Houses of Magical Japan." Tsuna explained further.
"The Five Great Noble Families of Magical Japan? You mean the Sawada Family, the Kuchiki Family, the Shihoin Family, the Kasumioji Family and the Hibari Family?" Athena asked.
"Those are the ones. Unless there has been a change in the last 36 hours, and I'm not aware of it." Tsuna joked. Suddenly his phone in his pocket sounded a message alert.
"Say, Ms. Black? Would you like to go for ice-cream?" Tsuna asked after reading the message.
"May I ask why?"
"What better way to commemorate making a new friend than ice-cream?" Tsuna said with a bright smile.
"Sure, I guess." Athena said. "Your treat?"
"Of course." Tsuna said, his smile still on.
(Years later, Athena would only privately accept that she found Tsuna's smile to be dazzling and that her cheeks were faintly dusted pink that day)
Tsuna and Athena were sitting on one of the tables outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. Tsuna was having a chocolate flavor ice cream while Athena was having a strawberry flavored ice cream. Both of them were enjoying their treat in silence.
"I saw you. A few hours ago. When you put that wizard in his place." Athena said suddenly.
"Hm? What makes you think I had anything to do with it?" Tsuna asked, with a small smile on his face.
"Really? Because the way you left that wizard squirming, told me a different story. Your eyes carried a significant threat in them." Athena replied.
"That clown talked shit to my Godfather. There is no way in hell, I was going to tolerate that." Tsuna said with a bit of steel in his voice.
"Wait. Your godfather? Who? Don't tell me it was that suit-wearing toddler who was sitting on your head." Athena said.
"That's the one. That suit-wearing toddler is my godfather." Tsuna said easily.
'How? How the hell is that possible?' Athena thought. A headache was already starting to form in her head. To avoid that, she decided to ask another question.
"So what is your favorite subject?" Athena asked randomly.
"Ah…"
After that, for half an hour, Tsuna and Athena had an engaging conversation on various subjects taught at schools. Tsuna discovered that Charms, Transfiguration and Potions were Athena's favorite subjects. Athena discovered that Tsuna liked all of his subjects equally, with the exception of Divination. That subject was something he hated with passion. Their conversation was interrupted with a…
"Ciaossu."
AN: That was the fifth chapter, ladies and gentlemen. So yes. In this story, Tsuna will do things which the canon Tsuna would definitely not touch even with a ten-feet pole. You have already seen an example. BTW, I personally found the members of the Order of the Phoenix to be really amazing people. So please don't burn me. Also, I finally introduced the OC. Forgive me if it seems a bit rushed. I haven't ever been in a relationship, so I have absolutely no clue what happens or how or why. Right now though, Tsuna and the OC are just yeah, I kinda ended the chapter on a cliffhanger. Anyway, ciao ciao everyone.
