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

Quick Note: It's been a busy day and a snow storm is coming. I can literally feel the pressure giving me the beginnings of a headache. I should take an Advil, but I really don't want to.

foxchick1: Bel and Luna or Daniella and Declan?

FANactic Writer: You never know with one Sirius Orion Black! Yeah, I really wanted to go further, and have the part I plan to write today in the last chapter, but it just didn't fit.

Shinigami: Soon. It's all on my list. Remus is a bit tricky, but we'll be getting to him within the next few chapters... I hope. I'm not sure about the Tri-Wizarding Tournament, just yet. It depends if they can get Dumbledore and Fudge out of office before Harry's 4th year.

D C JoKeR H S: Augusta will still be getting something coming her way, but it will be small potatoes compared to the shit-storm I plan to send Algie's way. I really couldn't help myself with the "Foul" vs "Fowl" wording, it was too much fun! I really do like Alice in Wonderland, and I couldn't help it. I wrote something about Neville's mum being Alice Kingsley in another fic. It just fit. Oh and then Mukuro being sneaky and yet sweet-it fits him. Oh, and I finally got that little spiral I was telling you I needed to get. Hopefully, it will keep me on track a bit better.


Reunions


"You're awake?" Augusta gaped at her daughter-in-law in shock and fear at the fact that all of this was a dream.

"Gusty, I'm better thanks to Neville, Harry, and the Yamamoto's," Alice informed the older woman.

Augusta was teetering on her feet and a gust of wind would have knocked her over. As off-balance as Augusta was, it only took one word to make her faint...

"Mother?"

"GRAN!" Neville yelped in horror as she fell in a dead faint.

Luckily, Nana had moved quickly enough to catch the older woman, "Welcome back, Mr. Longbottom. Harry, Neville, do you think you two could bring the fainting couch over here? We'll put Dame Longbottom on it."

"Dame?" Neville blinked in surprise.

"She's correct, now that your parents are awake and mentally sound, it means that your father is Lord Longbottom again," Healer Thyme entered the room again. "However, Lord Longbottom, that doesn't mean you get to be getting up and around just yet."

Frank stopped trying to push himself up to a seated position, only to stop in surprise, "Thyme?"

"Franklin," Thyme acknowledged him. "Been a while."

"You were the one that always followed after Alice asking questions..." Frank furrowed his brow.

"Once upon a time, yes. Now, I'm your Healer, and the in-house Healer at the Hibari Hotel. I do believe that your son and Godson would like your attention," Thyme treated him curtly, but made sure he'd listen.

"You sound just like Poppy," Frank chuckled. "Not to fear, I may be a bad patient, but I know better than to not follow my Healer's orders. Hey sprout."

"Sprout?" Harry looked from Neville to Frank in surprise, "Nev, is he the reason you're so wicked at Herbology?"

"Herbology? Neville, is that true?" Alice asked in awe.

"I really don't know," Neville frowned in deep thought. He never remembered his dad calling him *Sprout* of all things, but maybe that was why he got started with plants?

"Neville's got the top score of our year," Harry clapped Neville on the back, proud of his friend.

"We're proud of you, son," Alice clapped her hands once in joy and pride.

"Come here, Sprout," Frank chuckled as he opened up his arms.

"Dad-" Neville choked out before racing to his father and meeting him in an embrace, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Nana?" Harry was a bit uncomfortable standing in the room and motioned that maybe they should leave.

Nana winked at him, and nodded to the door, "Thyme, we'll be out in the hall if anyone needs us."

"I'd best check on the old battleaxe," Thyme scoffed in annoyance at the extra work Augusta was making her do.


"What is it, Harry?" Nana questioned him when they were in the hall.

"Is Sirius really going to contact his friend?" Harry was a bit worried.

"He might. Would you like to help me prank one the original Marauders?" Nana chuckled with a wicked grin.

"How?" Harry asked intrigued.

"We'll..." Nana watched as Harry's grin grew bigger as she explained the plan to him.

"So we'll get him here and then have Sirius leave his note on his pillow?" Harry double checked.

"Exactly!" Nana clapped her hands in glee.

"You think Sirius will go for it?" Harry looked down the hall to see a pale Sirius still staring at the paper and pen in his hands.

"He's a prankster, and it will be easier," Nana sighed as she ruffled Harry's hair. "Don't worry. Moony will be here soon enough," Nana smiled as she and Harry made their way over to Sirius to explain their plan.

However, they were intercepted by an owl bearing the Gringotts' Emblem.

"I wonder..." Nana murmured, as she accepted the envelope, "Blah, blah. Gringotts. Curse removal. Scheduled. Come tomorrow. Oh! Ranma and the others will be thrilled!"

"Ranma has a curse?" Harry blinked in surprise.

"So do the others from Nerima," Nana informed him. "We'll get to that later. Right now, we'll get Sirius taken care of, and then we'll let Ranma and the others know."


In a shack, far from any cities or towns...

Remus Lupin sighed tiredly as he packed his bags to get ready for the his trip on the Hogwarts Express in a few days. Not that he had much to pack. He'd been living quite frugally for a while now. What made him jump was the fact that there was a snowy owl outside his window, pecking to be let in.

Remus did so, only to be surprised when the owl landed upon his shoulder and stuck out the envelope for him to take, "Thank you?"

The owl stared at him, basically saying that he wasn't done with her just yet.

Remus carefully opened up the letter, and began to read aloud, "Mr. Lupin, it has come to our attention that you are in need of a job, at the end of the new school year. We have one waiting in the wings for you. Please come to the Hibari Hotel, in London, this evening. We will discuss proper pay, benefits, and hours. You come highly recommended and we look forward to meeting you. Sincerely, Nana Yamamoto-Hibari. P.S. We will not accept your refusal, unless in person. Dinner will be provided and Hedwig will make sure that you don't get lost."

The owl looked smugly at him, causing Remus to shake his head in confusion.

"I suppose I have no choice?" Remus gazed at the owl with resignation. The owl's eyes glittered with delight, as she knew her human's plan had worked.
