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

Quick Note: This is probably going to be a shorter chapter than normal, as I'm not sure how much time I'll have to write. However, this chapter will be fairly eventful, as we know Frank is awake. The curses are ready to be removed & the Ranma 1/2 gang have yet to be notified, and Remus is on his way to meet Nana... Well, you never know, it could be longer.

Shinigami: They don't have him quite yet, but it's in the works. I'm still not sure how he's going to like Nana, Harry, and Sirius' plans for him. Yeah, I like his nickname and I have no idea what I watched or read, but I distinctly remembered the nickname from somewhere. I haven't forgotten about the Traumatized Trio; I'm going to try to include a small bit about them in this chapter or the next, but it will be small. Harry and his friends are the main story-line, but there will be more about them. I've got a note reminding me to do so.

FANactic Writer: I hope so, but we'll see where my fingers take us.

Curses

Nana knew that there would be some issues with Ranma and the others, but she didn't want to wait too long to tell them. So once she'd sent Hedwig off with the letter for Remus, she tracked down the cursed individuals, "Hey guys. I finally got the letter from Gringotts. It says that we've an appointment to remove your curses set for tomorrow. However, they mentioned that there would be some concessions or concerns regarding the removal of the curse that they would be speaking to you about before the removal."

"AWESOME!" most of the kids cheered.

Ranma and Ryoga were the only ones who didn't jump around like a Mexican jumping bean. Ranma was the one to frown, "What type of concessions and concerns?"

"They didn't say," Nana handed him the letter. "I assume that they will explain it to us in greater detail, tomorrow."

Remus sighed in exhaustion as he took the Knightbus to The Hibari Hotel in London. He wasn't pleased about spending more money, but he knew it was cheaper than taking a cabbie. Sadly, he was used to having to use the bus as it was a cheaper method of transport and didn't ask too many questions when they saw how knackered he was. He wouldn't have even entertained the idea of this job, except that it came with a free dinner, and while the job may not be necessary, the free meal was too much to resist.

He hopped off the bus in front of the Hibari, but not before Stan Shunpike made an odd comment, "This is getting to be a popular place for us. Hey Ernie, maybe we should make it a permanent stop?"

"Nah, man. We'll do it if we get about twenty more people headed here, right Ern?" the shrunken head chuckled merrily.

Remus blinked, that was highly unusual. How many wizards had been frequenting this establishment, and who recommended him for this job? Actually, now that he thought about it, the letter he was sent never specified a job title... Remus was just about to turn around and get back on the bus, when it took off.

"Mr. Lupin?" a young woman's voice called out hopefully.

Remus winced, but turned around to face the voice, "Yes?"

"Nana Yamamoto-Hibari. Wonderful to see you! I'm so pleased that you received my letter," the young woman came up to him and immediately shook his hand. "I can't tell you how much we appreciate your time and I didn't want to tell you what the job was in the letter, just in case it fell into the wrong hands."

"Wrong hands?" Remus Lupin blinked in confusion.

"Of course. We have had a few... Unsavory characters who would like to wipe our family business out," Nana grimaced. "Please follow me. I've already set the dinning area and dinner will be served shortly. I hope you don't mind, but this will start out as a one-on-one interview, and later on I will introduce you to a few more family members."

Remus followed the energized woman through the doors of the building, and that's when he felt the silencing wards fall, right as the door closed, "Wards?"

"Mr. Lupin," Nana began. "This Hotel has recently been bought by my family. We plan to make this a Hotel for Wizards, Witches, No-Maj, and others."

"You mean Muggles? I believe that No-Maj is what they call them across the pond," Remus questioned. "What do you mean by others?"

"You're correct, but we at the Hibari feel that neither title is correct, but we haven't come upon a less irritating title. Now, when I'm referring to others, I mean the so-called creatures deemed so by your Ministry. There are also other types of people that the Ministry demonizes that we'd like to offer refuge to. Goblins, Werewolves that do not align themselves with the likes of Voldemort, and a few others," Nana informed him calmly.

"That sounds well and good, but what's the catch? What's the job? Why me? Who recommended me?" Remus asked quite a few questions as she led him into the dining area.

"No catch. We'll be paying for your return trip, unless you decide to take us up on our offer. Please have a seat," Nana stated before she got down to the nitty gritty. "Before I get into what the job is, I want to let you know that it includes: a salary, room, board, amenities, a dental and medical plan, an on-site Healer, along with a safe room warded to the nines, uniform, paid Holidays, and you have a week off every month of your choice."

Remus took all the information in, but waited for her to continue.

"The job is a Management position. You would be in charge of the daily operations of the Hibari. Making sure that all of our guests are comfortable, the employees are doing their jobs, and that the Hibari stays in the black. You were recommended for your impeccable decorum, personable manner, defense skills, and your attention to detail. Regarding the person who recommended you, I'm afraid that they have asked to remain anonymous at this time. Should you accept the position, I find it likely that they would inform you, themselves," Nana smiled reassuringly at him.

Remus blinked in surprise. This job was too good to be true... That's when Remus back-tracked to what she had said would be included: a safe room warded to the nines... "You said a safe room? Why would a manager need a safe room?"

"Mr. Lupin, I will tell you, bluntly, that we at the Hibari are aware of your monthly issue. We do not see it as a problem for your employment here. We actually consider you the best possible candidate," Nana stated coolly, just as dinner was brought out to them. It was steak, baked potatoes, salad, and fresh fruit.

Remus just blinked in shock at Nana. She knew he was a werewolf, and she was still offering him employment?!

"I am aware that the Ministry is a bigoted sack of inferior idiocy. However, I was not expecting to take you by this much surprise," Nana frowned. "Mr. Lupin?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yamamoto-Hibari, I-" Remus began, only to have Nana correct him.

"Nana, please."

"Nana, then. I just haven't heard of anything like this open to anyone like me," Remus stared at her in shock.

"I am aware. We are a Japanese company, Mr. Lupin. We do not follow the same stigmas that your foolish Ministry does," Nana nodded. "We also know talented individuals when we see them."

"Can I think about it?" Remus asked nervously.

"You may. In the mean time, please eat. Then I will introduce you to my cousin and the owners. If you haven't guessed, I'm the interim Manager and the current Hiring Manager for the Hibari," Nana smiled sweetly at him.

"Hiring Manager?" Remus gaped in surprise.

"The Hibari prefers to hire friends and family," Nana chuckled. "The trick is, that they have to meet the requirements. You do."

"Thank you?" Remus felt very awkward accepting the compliment and instead decided to focus on his food-the first bite melted in his mouth.

"Medium rare, yes?" Nana smiled before she took a bit. "I prefer medium, myself."

"This is wonderful, thank you," Remus blushed, and continued to focus on his food. He was so focused that he didn't notice other people enter the room.

"Ah! Fon, Mai, this is our potential new Hotel Manager, Remus Lupin. Mr. Lupin, my adopted siblings, Mai and Fon Hibari," Nana introduced them.

Remus was a bit surprised, but he greeted them politely, "Mr. Hibari. Ms. Hibari. A pleasure. Your hotel is a work of art and your food is divine."

"He's a keeper all right," Mai chuckled. "A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lupin, and please call me Mai. What do you think of our offer?"

"That it's too good to be true," Remus accidentally blurted out, before blushing.

"I see that we haven't convinced you, just yet," Fon smiled serenely. "In that case, we'll bring out Nana's cousin and young ward. Time to make your appearance, young man."

"Hello, Mr. Moony."

Remus froze. His mouth dropped open in disbelief, "Harry?!"

"I liberated him from my cousin, Petunia," Nana snorted. "She's horrid. I'm working on getting custody of her son, too. In the mean time, I think Harry has a few things that he'd like to discuss with you. Oh, and if you tell Dumbledore, you will never be able to find this Hotel, or Harry, again."

Remus was grateful he was sitting, because he was stunned, "The job offer was a set up, right?"

"It's real, Mr. Moony," Nana rolled her eyes. "Consider it our welcoming prank, making you think that all you'd get was a job. If Harry wants to, you can visit him as often as you'd like."
