I don't own KHR, HP, or Ranma 1/2!

Quick Note: The event I went to was definitely not worth the agonizing drive. I've had better experiences at motels. The staff was friendly, at the "Resort" and that's it. I had fun dancing with my husband to ZZTop's "Sharp Dressed Man" and that was the only fun thing. I got car sick, my husband got sick from one of his relatives, and I found out that one of my in-laws snores like a cow. The result is that I prefer trips with my family (immediate & extended) over ones with the in-laws, and I am happy to be home! My husband understands, knows, and agrees with my assessment of this trip. Bright side, we didn't have to pay for it.

foxchick1: Yep, I know. It's just fun to see if people are paying attention; apparently, Sirius wasn't.

D C JoKeR H S: I don't know if Siri will be whacked, but maybe a Gibbs-slap? I'm still uncertain what bloodthirsty creatures I was talking about, but it is near to Halloween here, so I'm sure my thinking will be along those lines. Yeah, sometimes I want to drag them back to Namimori, too... but then we wouldn't have a fun story!

Into The Woods

"Tsuna, Siri, not tuna," Nana sighed tiredly. "Don't ask what I was thinking letting his biological donor name him, but I'm fairly certain that I wasn't in my right mind... We'll talk about that later. Xan said you were innocent of killing Harry's parents?" Nana corrected Sirius and changed the topic.

"Yeah, Pettigrew or Wormtail framed me. Where's that paper?" Sirius began patting his clothes, searching fruitlessly for the paper, only to have Xanxus hold it out in front of him.

"I showed them, mutt. Sorella, how do we get in contact with this star-woman?" Xanxus scowled.

"Sirius?" Nana turned to her older brother, who was looking at her in surprise.

"Um... Does anyone have an owl?" Sirius asked hopefully.

Harry was the only one to raise his hand, "I do. Hedwig should be back shortly. Will that be a problem, Nana?"

"Not at all, sweetie," Nana affectionately smoothed his hair. "If you want more pets, just let us know. We do have four dogs, five if you count my big brother..."

"Okay," Harry started to lean away from the affection, only to stop himself and lean into it like an attention deprived puppy. It made Nana look up at her older brother with tear filled eyes, as she yanked the older man into a hug with them.

Sirius tensed up at first, before he realized what had happened. His supposed little sister was holding his Godson and had pulled them all into a three-way hug. Closing his eyes, trying not to shed tears of relief and joy. Even if she wasn't his real little sister, she cared enough to include him in his Godson's life.

It took a cough from Xanxus, before they pulled away from each other, but Nana refused to let Sirius leave her side, and she refused to leave Harry's.

"Can you call your owl?" Sirius asked Harry quietly.

"Sure, but what will this Andromeda be able to do?" Harry asked curiously.

"She can protect your... Nana's friends and daughter," Sirius smiled sadly.

"How?" Nana frowned in concern, "Oh, and Sirius, Ripear informed me that you are now the head of the family. Once we get you into the bank to claim it, that is..."

"What?" Sirius' jaw dropped in shock, "But that means that..."

"Your mom didn't have as much control over the former head as you thought? Pretty much," Nana nodded to her brother.

"Andromeda is my cousin that was kicked out of the family for marrying a muggle," Sirius explained. "She's also a barrister for the magical and muggle community."

"Hedwig! You found me!" Harry grinned as his owl flew around him, happily, before hitting him with her wing, "Yeah, I know, don't underestimate you. So, you up for finding a magical barrister?"

"Woot!"

"I knew I could count on you, Hedwig. Oh, this is Nana, my cousin and guardian, Sirius, my Godfather and Nana's brother, and the rest are Nana's family, I think?" Harry introduced his owl.

"A pleasure to meet you, Lady Hedwig," Nana smiled at the owl, knowingly. "I promise that my cousin, Petunia, will not get her clutches on your chick, again."

"Hoot!" Hedwig landed on Nana's shoulder and began preening her hair, before holding out her leg to Harry.

"Thanks Hedwig!" Harry smiled at his beloved snowy owl.

Daniela frowned when they tried to separate the adults and the kids, "Excuse me, but I do believe that removing a child from their grandparents or guardians is strictly against your rules."

"Where'd you hear that crock?" a male Auror snorted, as he grabbed Chrome and tried to yank her into another room, only to have Fon and Tonks stop him.

"Dawlish," Tonks scowled at him. "Moody said that these are my witnesses. Since you want to help so badly, you can take Doyle to lock up."

Dawlish scowled as Tonks pushed Doyle into him, causing the prisoner to feel up the now twitching male Auror, "You'll regret that, Tonks."

"I highly doubt that, Auror dawlish," a stern but fair woman raised her brow as she came up behind Dawlish. "Get him to lock-up, now. I do apologize for any inconvienence, ladies, gentlemen, children. I am the Director of the DMLE, Amelia Bones. Auror Tonks, what is the situation?"

"Doyle Sr. went after Mrs. Saotome and grabbed her in the middle of the Alley. Shortly after his inappropriate actions, Mrs. Saotome began to chase him around the Alley with a sword. Mr. Fortescue, these kids, and the other adults are witnesses," Tonks informed her boss.

"I see. Anything else to add, Mrs. Saotome? Mr. Fotescue?" Director Bones asked curiously.

"I have one. When will you be returning us to the rest of our families?" Daniella imperiously raised an eyebrow. "Young man, if you attempt to grab my granddaughter one more time, I will be filing charges against you."

Director Bones turned Dawlish, who had snuck back without Doyle Sr., and glared at him, "Dawlish, don't make me put you under review."

Dawlish huffed but turned away and headed back out of the room.

"Thanks boss," Tonks smiled.

Bones nodded to her subordinate, before addressing Daniela's question, "You will be returned to your families as soon as we have taken your statements, Mrs...?"

"Ottava Daniela Vongola," she stated collectedly, with a hint of the power of her Sky Flames behind her words.

"Italian?" Director Bones blinked in surprise.

"Si," Daniella smirked, as she had surprised the Director a bit.

"Amelia! What is this that I hear about your Aurors sweeping up my clients, right off the streets?!"

"Pardon," Director Bones stated as she turned to face the furious woman who had addressed her from behind. "Mrs. Tonk, your daughter and her partner brought them in..."

"I don't care who brought them in! They are my clients and you will not be taking them off willy-nilly!" Andromeda had the grace to nod to her daughter in acknowledgement, but continued her tirade.

"And when did they become your clients?" Amelia asked curiously.

"When I recieved a note from a young boy, asking me to represent his Guardian's adopted family, especially her adopted sister!" an impassioned Andromeda handed Amelia the note she'd received from...

"...Harry Potter?" Amelia blinked in surprise.

"Yes," Andromeda arched her aristocratic eyebrows, causing her face to become more stern.

"Take their statements and let them leave with your mother, Auror Tonks," Amelia sighed tiredly. "It was nice seeing you, Romy. Come by for tea, later."

"Of course, Amy," Andromeda smiled like the cat who caught the canary. "Now, Nymphadora, I expect you to take their statements quickly, as they do need to get back to their families."

"Yes mother," Auror Tonks cringed at the sound of her name.

Squalo's eyes were twitching. Yeah, he probably should have listened to Firenze when he'd mentioned bloodthirsty somethings or others... Because if he had, he wouldn't be fighting a hoard of what he was crazy enough to think were Vampires, "VOI! DIE YOU BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS!" Of course, it wasn't much of a challenge as these were mostly the low-level vampires, from what he could tell. Of course, that could be because a vampire with a sword was waiting for him... Maybe today wasn't so shitty after all. At least, it wouldn't be if the vampire was adequate with his blade.

The clearing they stood in was littered with the dust from the former vampires around him. It was a nice night for a fight in the woods, with the moon shining bright and the wind howling off in the distance.

Squalo had no clue what would happen once he engaged the sword welding vampire. If he had, he might have stopped playing around...
