I don't own KHR, HP, Sherlock, Ranma 1/2, Doctor Who, or any Marvel characters!
Quick Note: I wasn't feeling up to a chapter yesterday afternoon. I'm sure some of you noticed I put up a one-shot for Supernatural this morning. I wrote it while watching Supernatural last night. I was rather annoyed by a possible "Quick Fix" that "Team Free Will" just can't seem to see. It's rather obvious and it annoys me, so I wrote about it. I've had two people already tell me that it shouldn't be a one-shot, and maybe it won't be, but I'm rather focused on this fic, and feel it should be finished first. So, on with Review Responses and then the fic!
D C JoKeR H S: You and I are on similar wave-lengths, again. There's a bit of a deviation, but it's almost scary fun!
Shinigami: Truthfully, I never even thought about all of the issues that Ranko is going to have with her identity crisis, but I don't think that she's going to suffer too much. She'll have Luss and Viper to chat with and Ryoga seems to be a great shoulder to cry on... Tsuyoshi could give her some great advice too, since Soun Tendo is the last person she should get advice from. I'm thinking about it, but we'll have to see. She will get her time to shine.
FANactic Writer: Remus is one of my favorite HP characters! I do have a plan with Dumbledore, but poison would be letting him off too easily. Plus, people like to say that poison is a woman's method of killing. It's not just women that use it, but it is more common for women to do so. I have plans for Lucius, the Ministry, Voldemort, and the D.E.'s. We're not there yet, but some chips will start falling sooner than later. After all, we still have the Horcruxes to go. You may have something with his three full time demanding jobs... But I'm not quite ready to pull the plug on Dumbles just yet.
Questions & Answers
"Mama, what about Doctor Who?" Bel stated.
"What about him?" Nana asked curiously.
"We just got to the Christmas Invasion episode, Na-chan," Luss smiled understandingly at Nana.
"What happens in the Christmas Invasion episode, Bel?" Nana asked him curiously.
"He tells one of the peasant's aids that he can stop her reign in office if he says six little words. Don't you think she looks tired?" Bel smirked.
"I see," Nana raised a surprised eyebrow. "You really think that it would work with Dumbledore?"
"He has three full-time jobs..." Andromeda stated before looking to her sister, Narcissa.
"It could work splendidly, but Harry would be the best to deliver the news," Narcissa smirked.
"Draco, Blaise, and Daphne could be right beside him, along with Neville, Luna, Ron, and Hermione," Juliet added with a grin.
"Susan and Hannah too," Amanda Bell, Katie Bell's mum added. "Besides, this way each of the Hogwarts Houses are represented and it would be perfect!"
"Not as perfect as Arthur having a full court, though," Gwen Clearwater sighed.
"Not that again!" Arthur groaned at a shrugging Lancelot, while Molly rolled her eyes at Gwen's obsession.
"I think it sounds brilliant! Harry, when we're done here, you should go with Bel and watch that show," Sirius grinned mischievously.
"Ahem. Let's get back on track, people," Declan cleared his throat.
"Right," Nana agreed with the elder Abbott. "We still have the Ministry, the Death Eaters, and Voldemort to take down. Bellatrix is a different kettle, but I don't know as much about magic as the rest of you do."
"She didn't always behave deranged," Andromeda frowned as she thought about her elder sister. "Before I ran off, I was the one engaged to Rodolphus Lestrange. I fell in love with Ted in school; so Walburga, Mother, and Father decided to wipe me from the family tree."
"She wasn't the same after Aunt Walburga and father pushed her into your contract," Narcissa frowned at her sister. "She protested before a private meeting with Aunt Walburga and mother. Afterwards, she was different."
Sirius paled, "You don't think that they did THAT? Do you?"
"Did what?" Nana asked Sirius in confusion.
"Uncle Alphard once mentioned that Aunt Druella tried to put him under an old Rosier Family Curse. Basically, it would make him a puppet to the one holding the object that was enchanted to control his will," Sirius grimaced. "It fell out of practice in the middle ages, due to the fact that other people could get a hold of the item and destroy it, if they found out."
"Wait, you think that the woman who attacked my son and daughter-in-law, and saved my nephew, was cursed?!" Augusta gaped in shock at them.
"It would make sense, Gusty," Alice patted Augusta's arm placating her mother-in-law. "After all, we'd talked about making her Neville's second Godmother, before she was married. She was one of Frank's best friends, after all."
"My Frank?!" Augusta was glad Alice had led her to a chair, so that she could sit down before her legs gave out from under her at all of the shocks she'd been receiving the last few days.
"Wait, didn't it say that Bellatrix Kuno was our mother?" Tatewaki frowned as he pulled the file the goblins had given him from under his left arm. "Nana, could you please read this over?"
Nana frowned curiously as she looked at the records, "Huh. Hey Sirius, did you know that Bellatrix is technically an adulteress? Not by choice, if your theory is correct."
"Wait, what do you mea-?" Sirius peered over Nana's shoulder at the document and gaped at the two siblings, "Welcome to the family?"
"Wait, Kuno's related to you?!" Ranma and Ranko glared at each other for a moment, before shrugging and looking from Nana, to the Kuno siblings, to Sirius, to Narcissa and Draco, to Harry, and lastly to Andromeda and her small family.
"Technically, most magical families are related to one another through too much inbreeding," Hermione stated informatively. "In fact, the Weasley's are also related to the Black Family."
"As are the Longbottoms, the Crouchs, the Flints, Yaxleys, Prewitts, Gamps, Bullstrode, Crabbe, and McMillans," Augusta sighed tiredly. "My husband's Aunt Callidora was a menace."
"Wait, I remember her. Didn't she tell you that a woman should never wear a bird unless they killed it themselves?" Frank stared at his mother.
"Yes, she said that and a lot of other things," Augusta grumbled irritably.
"She was always nice to me," Frank shrugged.
"Harfang kept her on a leash with children," Augusta snorted. "Adults were fair game to that woman."
"We've digressed, again," Declan growled in annoyance.
"So, to get back on track," Daniella winked at Declan. "We have a way to destroy Dumbledore's reputation. Then there's the fact that we need to check to see if Bella has been put under the Rosier Curse. Next we need to deal with the Death Eaters and Voldemort."
"We need to hunt down his Horcruxes," Bill stated flatly. "It won't be easy and we don't know how many there are. However, the Goblins have offered to destroy them for us."
"Would it help if we gave them the basilisk corpse that Harry killed in second year?" Ginny pipped up.
"Basilisk?" Sirius and Remus turned to Harry and Nana in confusion.
"Later, boys," Nana promised.
"It was at least over a thousand years old," Harry added with a sigh.
Bill grinned, "I think that they'd be delighted."
"What about a press conference about the location of the Chamber of Secrets? Harry and Nana could do it. Reveal that the Goblins will be helping to catalog and excavate the area, and since it's technically not a part of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has no say against the Snorkacks," Luna smiled dreamily.
"It's a brilliant plan, Luna," Neville agreed. "We could also use the fact that the Minister did nothing about it to show his ineffectiveness. What do you think, Madam Bones?"
"I do believe that it would be better if we had more stock in the Daily Prophet," Amelia sighed. "The Ministry has a solid 42% ownership.
"Then it's a good things that I have 43% and the Black's have 15%," Rupert Greengrass smirked wickedly.
"That just leaves the Death Eaters and Voldemort," Ron grumbled in annoyance.
"The Varia are working on a method with a genius colleague," Mammon snorted in indifference. "The Death Eaters will vanish, bit by bit."
"So, we're nearly done, minus the Horcrux hunting?" Bill blinked in surprise.
"It's about time," Lambo yawned. "I'm ready to go home. I miss my bed and Bossy-Hana."
"We still haven't figured out what the object is that might hold the curse on Bellatrix," Narcissa pointed out.
"We'll get there," Sirius reassured his cousin. "So, still want to kill me, Remus?"
Remus twitched, and then he fired off a bunch of complicated spells at Sirius, leaving the man looking like a multi-colored crazy clown, "No, I'm good now."
The rest of the room took one look at Sirius and began laughing, except Lambo, who had hidden behind Hayato, "Scary..."
