I don't own KHR, HP, or Ranma 1/2!
Quick Note: My head is spinning with medical billing information, but I'll do my best to get this chapter out. Also, this site has been being goofy most of the day. I had to look up my reviewers via my cell while typing this, because I couldn't access it via computer. So, I'm sorry if this doesn't get posted right after I put it up.
storeyreader21: Xanxus might recruit him, but then again, he might not. He's a rather volatile character, but we'll have to see... It's not bad that you hope the curses can't be cured, but I have half of a plan on how it will go, and it will be a bit messy, but fun! I'm not sure if Harry will have Flames or not, just yet. We'll have to see, and yes, I do think Hermione is his most loyal friend, next to Neville and the Twins.
foxchick1: I love Sherlock! And I don't just mean the cute picture of my white dog on the blue towel, whose name just happens to be "Sherlock." Elementary didn't sit well with me, and the Robert Downy version was just okay. I prefer Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock or Basil Rathbone's. Yeah, I'm a bit old school when it suits me. I don't know what was in my smartwater yesterday, but I just felt like Sirius has the potential to be a Cloud. Makes me wonder if I should give Remus and Nymphadora potential Flames, too... Nymph's would have to be Mist... Remus would take some more thought.
D C JoKeR H S: Yep! Sirius is a Cloud! Glad I'm continuing to write up to your standards. ;)
Guest: I'm glad you're still with me and enjoying my chaotic organization of the chaos!
Memory Charms
True to her word, Nana had Tsuyoshi aid her in gathering their brood and the rest of the Hibari Clan, to Charing Cross Road. Bel wasn't happy about it, but agreed with Luss that it was better that they stayed together, so that they didn't lose each other. Bel was rather clinging to Nana or Daniella, but he preferred Nana over who he considered his adopted Grandma.
"Tsuyoshi, why did you stop?" Bel asked curiously, as he noticed the swordsman staring directly at a building, "It's just a dirty old pub... with a lot of weird patrons."
"That's the exact spot on the video that Viper vanished," Tsuyoshi frowned. "Was that pub in the video feed, Lal? Bel?"
"There's nothing there but an alley, Yamamoto-san," Lal scoffed.
"No, he's right, Lal. There is a pub called *The Leaky Cauldron.* And it almost looks like it's straight out of the pages of a book about wizards and witches..." Nana starred too long at the pub, before shaking her head. "Wizards? Witches? What am I going on about?"
"Nana, is it happening, again?" Tsuyoshi frowned in worry.
"A bit, but this seems a bit different..." Nana frowned as she noticed the rest of the passers-by ignore it, like it was an alley. "Lal, I think we know where Viper went. If he chose this path, then we'd best follow. No matter what we see, do not show your expressions of amazement, unless you're a kid."
"I don't like this," Shamal grumbled. "I can clearly see that it's covered in something that is similar to Mist, but it's not. We need to exercise the utmost caution. Kids, stay close to your group adult."
"What are the groups again, Daddy?" Lambo tugged on Tsuyoshi's shirt, as the man was holding him.
"Group 1 is: Mai, Nodoka, Bianchi, Shamal, Colonello, Kodaichi, Tatewaki, Ken, Chikusa, Kyoya, Ukyo, and Takashi. Group 2 is: Skull, Fon, Nabiki, Cologne, Lal Mirch, Shampoo, I-Pin, Mousse, Hayato, Kyoko, Ryohei, and Chrome. Group 3 is: Reborn, Nana, Daniella, Luss, Tsuna, you, Akane, Ranma, Bel, Ryoga, Mukuro, Fuuta, and myself," Tsuyoshi informed his adopted son.
"So they won't notice that five adults with seven kids is weird?" Hayato raised an eyebrow.
"Hayato, look at how many people just went in at once," Bel nodded in the direction of the pub and the odd assortment that had just exited the entrance.
Hayato sighed tiredly, "You do realize that we will still draw attention?"
"That's why there's a Mist in each group," Fon stated calmly. "We've got this, Hayato."
"Something is making me nervous..." Hayato grumbled.
"Is it the fact you're not in the same group with Bianchi?" I-Pin asked him curiously.
"Maybe," Hayato shrugged.
"We can do this, Hayato," Fon comforted him.
"I still don't like it," Hayato grumbled, but left when it was the second group's turn to go.
"Are you and Tsuna getting the same feeling as Hayato, Nana?" Luss asked curiously.
"No. In fact, I'm getting a weird feeling, but not a bad one," Nana replied in confusion.
"I've got the same feeling. What about you, Gram?" Tsuna turned to Daniella.
Daniella smiled her sweetest smile at Tsuna, her adopted great grandchild, "I feel nothing bad."
"That's a relief," Luss smiled. "Now, shall we join our groups inside the pub?"
When they walked in, something felt strangely familiar to Nana. It was almost deja vu... "This way..."
The rest of their group strangely followed Nana, who waved to the bartender, before heading towards the back of the pub, just in time to watch someone else open a strange doorway with what looked like a wand... All the while, Tsuyoshi was worried, Nana was acting like she knew where she was going, but she'd never been to England, as far as he knew.
"Nana?" Tsuyoshi began, only to find that the other two groups had made it through the opening behind him, before it closed.
"I know this place..." Nana muttered softly, as she started reading the names of the stores. For some reason, she wasn't surprised by the way things were hopping and popping, and just generally being non-normal, as she made her way through the crowds, not noticing that she was holding both Fuuta and Ryoga's hands.
"How does she know this place, Tsuna?" Tsuyoshi frowned after his wife, as Tsuna was next to him.
"I have no idea, dad," Tsuna frowned. "I am getting a funny feeling that we'll find out if we follow her..."
"She's heading to that strange white building," Mukuro frowned as he kept his eye on his mother as she moved through the crowds like a slippery fish. "Ranma, Akane, Bel, we need to keep eyes on her at all times."
"Renato, Daniella, Luss, we need to make sure that she doesn't leave us behind. Something isn't quite right..." Tsuyoshi scowled as he hurried after his wife, his youngest in his arms, noting briefly that the other two groups also followed them to the white building, discreetly.
"I've let them know that something was off with Nana," Mukuro informed his father. "We'll make sure that someone is with her at all times."
In the meantime, while they were all chasing Nana, she had made her way up the steps, and was reading the sign, "Enter, stranger, but take heed of what awaits the sin of greed. For those who take, but do not earn, must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors, a treasure that was never yours... Thief, you have been warned, beware of finding more than treasure there."
"Why is there a warning there, Mama?" Fuuta asked curiously.
"Because only a fool would steal from the Goblins, dear," Nana replied absentmindedly, and then she realized what she had said... Goblins! Bank! She knew exactly where she was! She was in Gringotts Wizarding Bank! She had unconsciously entered a line with Ryoga, who was very on edge, and Fuuta, who appeared to be taking everything in curiously.
"Next!" a goblin teller called.
Nana walked up and bowed her head to the teller, "May your gold always flow, just as the blood of your enemies beneath your blade, master goblin."
It took the goblin a moment, before he blinked up at her owlishly. Something about that phrase had set something off in the goblin's mind, "May your enemies fall at your feet, and your family prosper. What can we at Gringotts do for you?"
"I am unsure, master goblin," Nana replied slightly confused.
"I see. Follow me," the goblin got out of his chair, and another took his place to help the next in line.
"I have a large group with me, master goblin. I hope it won't be an imposition?"
"How large?"
"Thirty-seven, including myself and these two," Nana stated quietly, noting that the goblin was ushering them towards a secreted door.
"Relation?"
"Adopted Clan, my husband, and my children, adopted and not," Nana responded.
"All family, it will be done. You will all need to take inheritance tests," the Goblin informed her.
"Why are you doing this, master goblin?" Fuuta asked curiously.
"That greeting hasn't been heard in over fifteen years," the goblin replied edgily. "If it means what I believe it to... Well, we'll see after we do the inheritance tests."
All thirty-seven of them did the tests, it wasn't something that they were expecting. Especially since it required only three drops of blood on a parchment. When the goblin looked over the thirty-seven results he frowned, and raced out of the room.
"What do you think he found?" Shamal asked curiously.
"We're in a bank for witches and wizards, run by goblins. How much stranger could it get?" Nabiki huffed.
It was less than a moment later when many three goblins rushed into the room, followed by a red-head that looked like he'd just taken a tumble out of a fireplace!
"I apologize, Mrs. Yamamoto, but we need you to do a secondary test, as well as your sons, Tsuna & Mukuro, daughter, Chrome, and your Clan members going by Gokudera and Belphegor," a goblin read off the names with a strange tone in his voice.
"All right," Nana nodded and the ones mentioned stepped forward towards the goblin teller. Each goblin made them do the exact same test again. Immediately they showed the other two goblins. One nodded and left the room, while the other goblin eyed the parchments carefully.
"It appears that everything is in order. However, we need Cursebreaker Weasley to check you over, Mrs. Yamamoto, before we proceed," the teller stated calmly.
"A cursebreaker? If he has time, could he take a look at the water curses some of my clan have gotten in China?" Nana questioned carefully, making sure that Tsuyoshi had Ryoga's hand.
"Water curses from China?" the Cursebreaker looked to the goblin next to him, hopefully.
"We shall see," the goblin replied skeptically.
Cursebreaker Weasley took a few steps towards Nana, and gently waved his wand towards her. He frowned when he noticed something that he was sure was the reason the goblins wanted him here, "It appears that she has been memory charmed. It looks to be old, around fifteen to sixteen years."
"Would you like us to remove it, Mrs. Yamamoto?" the goblin asked cautiously.
Nana looked over to her family, and then looked back at the goblin, "Before I do that, I need to inform you that I was in an accident a few years ago, and I woke up a different person, with memories from somewhere else. They've been fading, but when I came here... I remember being here."
"That was part of the charm, breaking," the goblin supplied. "I will ask again, do you wish it removed?"
"Please," Nana agreed.
"Before we do this, we will need to tell you that the young boy you call Belphegor is in line for the throne of Magical Persia. The two Gokudera's are part of the Malfoy Family. It appears that the boy's mother was cast out for being a squib and the girl's mother was a second cousin. Your children, Mukuro and Chrome are fraternal twins, though they are part of the Black Family. It appears that their mother was Bellatrix Lestrange ne Black, however they were not children of her husband and are squibs..."
"What about Mama and me?" Tsuna asked as the Goblin trailed off on his explanation.
"It appears that your mother should be a *Nolana Black.* Apparently, she is the illegitimate daughter of one Orion Black, and a squib," the goblin stated. "Her mother was apparently one Daisy Evans. It appears that you are a year younger than your half brother, who is the head of the family. You, Tsunayoshi Yamamoto, are the current heir to the house of Black."
"Who is Daisy Evans?" Nana frowned. She didn't know that name. It was unfamiliar, and she wanted more information.
"Ripear, is she any relation to Harry Potter?" the Cursebreaker asked curiously.
"William," the goblin chastised his employee. "Yes. However, I doubt that they would be able to..."
"Look, any relative of Lily's has to be better than his aunt. My brothers have mentioned bars were put on his window last year, and he always looks so thin when they got him out last year..." William began to explain to Nana.
"Weasley, calm yourself," Ripear chided his employee. "They are here to find out about their heritage and get her memory charm removed. You may play with the water curses, while I take care of Mrs. Black-Yamamoto."
"Tsuyoshi," Nana nodded to her husband.
Tsuyoshi knew exactly what she wanted, "Cursebreaker Weasley, please look over the children, and then I want any and all information that you have on my wife's relative."
"Agreed," William smiled at the man. "Call me Bill."
"Tsuyoshi, but you may call me Yoshi."
Squalo wasn't happy. He had been trapped in a run-down house by some crazy woman who had been going on and on about something that translated to *Bad Faith* in French, and Squallo had then been hit by some strange light and locked in an attic room. At least he was given food every day, but whomever it was that had him, they were crazier than the boss, "VOI! LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU CRAZY OLD BAT!"
