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

WARNING: Torture is described.

Quick Note: Sorry, I got a migraine yesterday and wasn't able to write. Chiropractor fixed me up, it was a pinched nerve. I barely have time today to type this, but I'm going to try to get something out today, as there will be nothing tomorrow, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Not sure how Friday will go as it's a wait and see thing. I may have to do the work of 3 people again, like today.

D C JoKeR H S: Maybe not a massacre, but a culling wouldn't be out of the question. Glad you're still enjoying it!


Discordant Melody


Reborn and Fon twitched when they heard a scream of rage! Of course, they knew that they couldn't leave the prisoner until they were ready to have him lead them to the rest of the perpetrators. They couldn't do that without the Auror or Bill, and Bill was busy helping keep the girls calm... Or at least, waking them up.

It was one of the hardest things that they had to do, waiting. Reborn was not a patient man, and Fon merely feigned serenity and patience. When something like this came up, he was just as gung-ho to take action as Reborn. So, instead, they focused on their victim. Making the worm squeak in fear and then begin to babble in pain as Fon inserted the bamboo splinters beneath the nails of Goyle Sr. The man then began to scream like a baby before the splinter was even a millimeter into his skin.

"I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK!" the man screamed in pain and fear.


"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SISTER! I'LL KILL YOU!" Melody roared as she woke in a fierce rage, and she went to attack the closest person to her, which happened to be Shamal. Even though she had no use of her legs, her arms were stronger than most, and Shamal was about to use a mosquito on her, when Bill went up to her and taped her in a certain spot. Her hands dropped from the now gasping Shamal's neck.

Bill sighed tiredly, "I take it you are Joy's sister. She's in another room, with Skull. She wanted you when she woke. If you can calm your rage I can take you to her or Bianchi can."

"Joy-" Melody began to glare at Bill, but blinked when she realized he wasn't dressed like their attackers, "Who are you?"

"My name is Bill Weasley. I'm a friend of Nana and Tsuna. They sent me here to wake you up, once it was found that you were under a spell I could counter. There's a healer on the way to make sure that none of you carry their children or have any issues later, if you want a child with another."

Melody's head reeled at all of the information. This Bill Weasley had given her a quick run-down with almost all the information that she needed, "Where is my sister?"

Bill was relieved that she was calmer, now, "Just in the next room over. We wanted to make sure that each of you were able to wake up safely and in a safe environment. Also, she was having a panic attack when she woke up. I had just gotten her calmed down and I was afraid something would send her back into a panic attack."

Melody's tenseness in her shoulders dropped, she was more relaxed, still guarded, but less reckless, "Take me to my sister."

"Sure you don't want to see Renato, first?" Shamal gasped out.

Melody paled, "No. He can't see me. He'll never want me."

"Melody-" Bianchi tried to get through to her, but failed.

"I'll walk her over, and then return to wake the last one," Bill frowned at Shamal. But he placed Melody in her wheelchair and led her to her sister, "Is Renato your boyfriend?"

"Not after today," Melody mumbled, but Bill had heard her.

"Melody, he is here. He helped us capture one of your attackers. He's interrogating him right now and I think it might help him not kill your attacker if he could talk to you, after you see your sister. You need a bit of time, too. No rush," Bill added.

"I-I'll think about it," Melody closed her eyes in pain as Bill opened the door to where Skull and Joy were.

"Mel!" Joy raced to her sister, once she saw that Bill was behind her, "Bill woke you up too! He's really nice. Did he wake up Diana, yet?"

"Not yet, but I think I was next on the docket," Melody closed her eyes in relief at the feeling of her sister in her arms, before she broke down into tears.

"Melody, I'm going to leave you here with Skull so I can go wake up your other friend, is that okay?" Bill asked worriedly.

"Thank you," Melody whispered loud enough that he heard her.

Bill smiled sadly, and headed back into the hallway, where he once again ran into Kusakabe, "I need to talk to Renato."

"This way," Kusakabe led Bill back to the torture room.

This time, Renato's eye twitched as he saw Bill for a second time, "We need to talk in the hall. Kusakabe, please give us a few minutes."

"Of course," Kusakabe walked into the torture room and shut the door behind him, ready to wreak havoc on one of the men that harmed the women under the protection of the Hibari Clan.

Bill bit his lower lip for a second before sighing and getting right to the point, "Joy had a panic attack, but she may have them for life. However, Melody is a different story. She thinks you wont want her anymore because she was raped. So she's claiming you're her ex-boyfriend."

Renato took a step towards the clinic, only to have Bill step into his path.

"She isn't ready to see you yet. She needs to think things through. Give it a few hours, but I want you to be aware of what you'll be dealing with. She's mad at the world, Renato. Not at you. She's not dealing with it the same as her sister. You're going to have to prove to her that you will stick with her no matter what. That you don't care what they did, as long as you have her. If you can't convince her and the healer doesn't get here in time, we may have to knock her out," Bill frowned worriedly.

"Explain," Renato growled out angrily.

"The last person I dealt with like this was male, but... he killed himself because his loved ones couldn't convince him they still cared for him. Not even the Goblins could convince him. His family still mourns," Bill winced.

Renato closed his burning eyes for a moment, before taking a breath, "Thank you."

"I'll do everything in my power to prevent it from happening, Renato. I swear it," Bill emphatically told the hitman.

"I believe you. Thank you. I will check in on her in an hour or so." Renato marched back over to the door, but before opening it he paused, "Tell her I need to see her."

"I will," Bill agreed.


Back in London, Tsuna tapped his foot in time with the rhythm of the music, as he learned to better his footwork with Akane in dance.

Ranma was starting the wizarding kids on basic stretching, trying to see where he needed to start with each student. The more advanced ones would go to Kyoya. Less advanced would go to Ukyo. Beginners would stay with him. Ryoga would help Ukyo or him if the group was too large... This would take a while. Of course, Ryoga did let it slip that there was a potential cure, but that Nana wanted to get all the details from the goblins, so that they didn't endanger themselves.

Ranma sighed, "Okay, so how many of you are aware of martial arts?"


Sherlock and Mycroft glared at each other, as they debated on what possibly happened to the three women that were in Japan, but it was only when Mai tapped a pressure point on them that they both fell to the floor in a heap, limbs mixed with each others.

"Stop bickering and start helping us plan to get rid of the bad wizards after Harry. And you two call yourselves adults," Mai scoffed as she rolled her eyes and went to stand over by Doctor Watson. "How do you tolerate their idiocy?"

"It's a trial, to be sure. However, I claim that my daughter needs me, and they usually stop," John Watson shrugged. "At least this time they didn't have pistols."
