I don't own KHR, HP, Sherlock, or Ranma 1/2! Is anyone else getting tired of reading this disclaimer yet?
Quick Note: I am still sick, but getting slightly better than yesterday. However, other factors happened that almost had me not write today. I'm not sure how good this chapter will be, but I'd rather not talk about those other issues right now. Anyways, on with the review replies!
Shinigami: Yes, Sirius is just getting started. Nana isn't actually purchasing the hotel, Mai is on the behalf of the Hibari Family. I believe that justice is coming, but that it will not be as swift as you or I would like. Nana still is unaware of what happened to the girls. However, once she finds out I believe that there will be issues that she will have to deal with regarding the children. The one you mentioned is a monumental one. The Death Eaters aren't on the side of the angels and... Well, I don't want to give the plot away, but let's just say that not all are completely unredeemable, but the ones that are will not enjoy my plans.
Reclusive Dork: I agree, which is why it made writing it so cringe-worthy and amusing.
D C JoKeR H S: Yes, I thought that it would be the beginning of Lucius' karma turning on him. Last chapter we FINALLY got to the part where I told you I was thinking about many moons ago! Or at least we started down that pathway. I think Draco has had to be a good actor to protect his mom. It wouldn't be so surprising that it would have colored other aspects of his life, especially at school where his father's cronies' sons are paid to watch his every move. Okay, now I'm feeling even worse for Draco. Glad you're still enjoying it!
FANactic Writer: It might take a bit, but yes. The help is starting to figure out a rescue plan. I think weasel fits more to Lucius than a rat, after all a rat is what Pettigrew is.
Plotting Escape
"So, what exactly do we need to do?" Harry asked Nana and Sirius curiously.
"You shouldn't have to do anything, Harry!" Molly Weasley interjected, before realizing that she'd spoken out of turn, "My apologies, Mrs. Yamamoto. Bad habits die hard."
"It is going to be a hard one to break, but I believe in you, Mrs. Weasley. Now, for the sake of simplicity and friendship, please call me Nana. And you are half correct. Harry will be helping us plan on how to extract the two Black family members from Lord Malfoy's clutches. Then we will all have a sit down with them and Harry will be helping us figure out how to decorate Draco's and Narcissa's room. They will want to share to make sure that they other is safe or have connecting rooms," Nana began.
"Thank you, Nana," Harry beamed at his guardian.
"Very well, Nana, but only if you call me Molly."
"Done!" Nana agreed happily, before turning to Sirius, "Now, since you are the head of the family, how do you suggest we retrieve them?"
"Well, there's a lot of pomp and circumstance on dissolving a marriage in the magical world. It would require proof: of abuse, lengthy paperwork, a seventy-two hour waiting period once the proper paperwork is filed, and a witness willing to testify. Most purebloods manage to kill their spouse before the paperwork is appropriately filed, because they are still trapped in the same home, or the witness is. The spouse is only able to leave with only the items they brought into the marriage, unless it was a gift. The heir is where it gets a bit trickier..." Sirius scowled, and looked at Andromeda.
"Sirius, it's best to just spit it out," Andromeda sighed tiredly.
"The heir is usually left in the care of the Lord of the house. It's the law's way of insuring that the line stays strong. Father's have the rights to their sons, and the wives get the daughters, unless they are the heir. If I try to get Draco removed too, it could be tricky business," Sirius scowled.
"Sirius, when I was trying to get custody of Susan, I came upon a small but little known clause in that law," Amelia smirked and paused for dramatic effect.
"Well! What is it?! Spit it out, you daft woman! Save the theatrics for later!" Sirius stared her down.
"I'll let that slide, for now, Black. Since you're still recovering from escaping Azkaban and all..." Amelia rolled her eyes, "Basically, if the heir is the witness, then we can claim that removal of custody is to protect the heir and if the heir wishes to, he can take the maiden name of his mother."
"Brilliant!" Molly beamed at Amelia, "What law is that under?"
"The code of Morgana," Andromeda chuckled with a smile. "Now we just need to plan her extraction. Any ideas?"
"Aurors?" Tonks and the Weasley's offered.
"We go to Malfoy Manor. Storm the gates," Sirius stated flatly.
"Flush them out?" Colonello shrugged.
"Dobby?" Harry and Tsuna suggested together, surprising the other.
"What does the Great Harry Potter need from Dobby?" Dobby asked in confusion.
"Wait, that could work!" Sirius grinned excitedly, "Dobby, Harry needs you to find Narcissa and Draco and tell them that the head of House Black needs to see them urgently. If they want to meet, bring them here once they agree. Got it?"
"Yes, the Great Harry Potter's Sirius Black!" Dobby smiled happily. "Does the Great Harry Potter's Sirius Black want Dobby to give this message now?"
"That would be perfect. Thank you, Dobby," Sirius grinned cheerfully at the elf.
"Dobby go now! Sees you soons, the Great Harry Potter and the Great Harry Potter's Family!" And Dobby was off with a *POP!*
"It will be nice to see Cissy again, don't you agree, cousin?" Andromeda smiled at Sirius hopefully.
"Here's hoping, Andy. Here's hoping," Sirius sighed tiredly. "But what if they don't accept?"
