A/N: Hello everyone, thank you so much for the supporting this story, I was overwhelmed with the supports given by you guys. And not only that but also I am so grateful with the reviews, thank you once again.
As for the pairing, so far I have;
1 vote for Harry, Gokudera and Hibari each, and 2 votes for Yamamoto. Anyway just to let you know that I've created a poll in my profile regarding this, so please vote there.
Thank you to SereniteRose for your vote for both Harry and Hibari, and I hope that you'll like this chapter.
Thank you to Suzululu4moe for your vote for both Yamamoto and Gokudera and also your wonderful reasons of why I should paired them with Hermione. I agree with you in regard of why Yamamoto could be the better pair for Hermione, apart from what you had said, he's also a cheerful guy and I think that Hermione might need someone like him. And also with Gokudera, although they may have chemistry in intelligent and all, but one point I agree with you is that if in the future her baby may wind up with the misplaced explosions I bet it won't end up good for Gokudera =D And also there won't be a Harry/Ginny pairing here. I have not decided a pairing for Harry yet, probably not this year, but if there's it won't be Ginny, Cho or even Luna although Harry had a short unplanned date with Cho on the last chapter.
For Jaxjax, thank you so much for your vote on Yamamoto, I do think that both Hermione and Yamamoto are cute together. But somehow we'll have to wait and see who would win in this 'battle' then.
For claire nunnaly, there would probably someone who would likely to recognise the Vongola not by their face but name, but you'll be surprise soon.
For dark-knight185, at the moment I am not yet decide a pairing for Tsuna, but if I do it would probably someone from KHR and to be honest I do not plan to pair any of the Mafia with anyone from HP apart from Hermione of course, but I'll see if I would change my mind about it.
For Lugia'sChallenger13 I hope you'll like this one =D
For guest reviewer Good work, thank you and I hope that you'll enjoy this chapter =D
Just to let you guys know that I've made a slight changes on the last chapter, just added some few words and changed some spelling or so.
As for my other stories, Skylark is currently in progress and I am sorry for taking time to update because apparently the next chapter is pretty difficult for, but I'll try to update as soon as possible. And the same goes to my other stories as well.
Warning: Probably bad grammars because this story is unbeta-ed
Disclaimers: HP and KHR are not mine to claim huhuhu...
Chapter 3: When Mafias in Hogwarts and Confrontation Between Brothers
Hermione was ecstatic, she hooked her arms at both Tsuna and Dino's and led them and the rest of the mafias as they entered Hogwarts with both McGonagall and Flitwick leading the way. At the same time she had been explaining about her school to them and showed them the surrounding, and it was pretty obvious from the way she explained everything she was surely very fond of her school.
Tsuna and the rest of the Vongola, bar the Varia, were awed at the sight of the school; it was huge and looked like an old castle during the medieval period, and there's a huge lake just below the school. They felt that they were back in time of swords and dragons. And they knew that dragons exists here in this world, although Hermione never told them about it, but her parents not, and that's how they were able to found out about the magical world.
As they entered Hogwarts, Headmaster Dumbledore was waiting for them with a good number of students who are scattered around the Hogwarts ground, mostly second year and below, since majority of the third year and above are still at the Hogsmeade, enjoying the Hogsmeade Weekend. And standing next to him with a forceful yet sickly smile was Umbridge. Hermione wanted to glare at the toad, but she did not want to land herself into trouble, yet. Both McGonagall and Flitwick were trying hard not to glare and sneer at the DADA teacher.
"I would like to welcome to all of you to Hogwarts, I am the Headmaster of this school, Albus Dumbledore," Dumbledore greeted them with a smile and twinkled eyes as Tsuna and the rest nodded back at him and smile. Earlier when Dumbledore saw them arrived he had to looked at them twice, thinking that his eyes may had deceived him. At first, he thought that the relative of one Hermione Granger would be a typical muggles liked those who he had met and saw before, but apparently he was wrong. And also, there's something about them that made Dumbledore quite uneasy and told him to be careful, the air and aura that surrounded them screamed danger, and although he could not tell what it is, but obviously that's something Dumbledore do not want to anticipate in.
"Hem hem," interrupted the short and plump woman next to him with that sickly smile. Dumbledore gave a tight smile as he slightly glared at the Minister's Undersecretary. If this woman wanted to show her superiority here this might give a very bad impression of this school and its teachers to their guests, muggle or not, and he did not wanted that to happen and he would definitely not tolerate her behaviour.
"I am Dolores Umbridge, the DADA teacher and also the Minister's Undersecretary," the toad introduced herself with such arrogance and superiority in front of the muggles, though she tried to mask that disgusted looks at those…filths.
"And I also would like to say that Hogwarts is a school for magical students, those who are born within magical families, and others," she said the last part with slight disgusted and also glared at Hermione. That, however, did not escaped Hermione, the Vongola, the Varia, and Dino and Romario, as well as Dumbledore, McGonagall and Flitwick as the Headmaster and the two teachers glared at the incompetent toad, while the Vongola 10th family and the Varia, included Hermione, Dino and Romario masked a poker faces, though the air surrounded them had slightly changed. Even the students around them could felt it and some even shivered in fear.
"As I would like to say, to have a bunch of mug…." She was cut off by an angry Headmaster.
"That's enough, Professor Umbridge, I suggested that you go inside and have a look at your syllabus for next Monday's classes," Dumbledore hissed at the inept teacher while Umbridge glared back at him.
"I will have you know Dumbledore that the Minister will not tolerate this," Umbridge retorted back, seemed that the two of them had slightly forgotten about their guests and also the audiences around them.
"And I also would like to have you know that this is a school Dolores, not a Ministry, and Cornelius Fudge has no power here," Dumbledore warned her off, and that's enough to have her backed off and after she glared at them the short and plump woman walked away into the school with anger and tried to walk as fast as her short legs could carried.
Dumbledore took a deep breath and turned back to the guests, he felt embarrassed with such behaviour, especially someone who was a staff member of the school.
"I am sorry for that, Professor Umbridge has this…problem with this, so I hope that all of you could…forgive her for behaving like that," Dumbledore apologised, though he could saw that both McGonagall and Flitwick were furious with such anger towards the toad that if looks could kill, Umbridge would already be dead, not that he could blamed them, and although the guests included Miss Granger had masked a poker faces, he could felt a deadly aura surrounded them when Umbridge had spoken earlier.
"It's okay Headmaster Dumbledore, we understand of this situation because Hermione had told us earlier about this possibility, though me and the rest of us are very much grateful to you and the rest of the teachers for having us here and felt honoured to be able to visit here, and while we are here we would like to make our visit here enjoyable and also able to see for ourselves the world that my little cousin here seemed to be fond of," Tsuna spoke with such manner that would likely to have McGonagall and Flitwick swooned if not of what had happened earlier, though the two teachers seemed to agree with this young man who looked no older or younger than a seventh year student here. While the rest of them looked older, only a few who looked about the same age as this young man. But among them are two young children, a boy and a girl around the age of nine or ten year-old, a young teenager , should be in his first or second year, and two toddlers, one is wearing that muggle suit and another wearing a…hooded cloak?
"The honour is mine Mr…?"
"Sawada, Tsunayoshi Sawada, though you can call me Sawada or just Tsuna," Tsuna spoke with a smile as the Headmaster and the two teachers nodded. Hermione smiled at them as her gripped on her two cousins tightened. Dino chuckled as he tried to tousle her hair as Hermione simply pouted and glared at him.
Although Dumbledore was grateful that the muggles did not felt or been affected badly by Umbridge's behaviour, deep inside the Headmaster wanted badly to hex the toad. She has brought enough trouble ever since she hold the position as the DADA teacher here, and then she had formed that High Inquisitors in which she tried to rule the school with her own rules and such. But somehow, there's something about the guests that made Dumbledore slightly shivered in fear, and when Umbridge tried to show her resentment towards their muggle guests, the feeling increased. He felt that as if Death himself was there among them, and he was ready to strike, and Dumbledore had a feeling that Umbridge had already painted herself as target.
Though, he could leave her to their mercy should that happen, and in spite of being witch from an old family, Umbridge did not have the ability to read and observed people carefully, so Dumbledore could says that the toad could not sense the aura that surrounded those muggles. Hang on, with this, maybe they could do him a favour instead.
"Ah yes Mr Sawada, I am grateful with that, please follow me to my office as we can do a proper introduction there. And I am sure all of you would like to ask more about this school and everything surrounded it before I assign to all of you your own private chambers," Dumbledore said as he led Tsuna and the rest, which included Hermione and the two professors to his office, while the rest of the students who were there watched in awed. Some of the bigots, however, scoffed loudly, that was until they began to shivered and suddenly felt afraid, as if they had been watched by something or someone with deadlier killer instinct.
"Hmmph…trashes."
Meanwhile,
After strolling around Hogsmeade without purpose and with the burden of feeling guilty for ignoring his best female friend, Harry hurriedly returns to Hogwarts, with few of his friends and fellow Gryffindors are coming along. In fact, some of the students from other houses, majority were girls, had followed them from behind. Even Ginny and her blonde friend tagged along. Apparently they wanted to see Hermione Granger's muggle guests in which majority of them were handsome and good-looking men, which caused some of the witches to spot with jealousy to see the know-it-all Gryffindor walked with them.
As they reached Hogwarts, Hermione and her guests were nowhere to be found, that was until some first or second year student told them that Hermione and her guests had followed the Headmaster to his office, along with Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick. The student also informed them about the confrontation between the Headmaster and Professor Umbridge regarding their muggle guests, and this had Harry felt badly for not being with Hermione and also angry at Umbridge.
Harry knows that he can't simply barge into the Headmaster's office and tells them that he's Hermione's best friend. He knows that it won't be that easy, especially after the way he had treated her for the last few days. And from the way he saw them, he could says that they do not looked like normal or typical people. Some of them don't even look friendly. Besides, one of them was spotted with scars in his face, and then there's some sort of feathers and a tail of an animal that he tied at the end of his hair.
And if he did, he's pretty sure that they would ask of his whereabouts and why he was not with her at the station waiting for them or why she didn't introduced him earlier as her best friend. Many thoughts are now surrounding his mind, and Harry was sure that they are not an ordinary people. If they managed to persuade the Headmaster and the Head of House to allow them to visit Hermione here in Hogwarts, then it would be pretty obvious that they are not those people he can easily mess with.
"Hey mate, do you think she still there with them, at the Headmaster's office, should we go to her?" Ron suddenly asked which gave Harry a shock as he didn't realised that the redhead stood next to him.
"Geez Ron, next time give me a warning, will you, and why do you want to know anyway?" Harry snapped at him and slightly glared at the redhead. Ron was hurt, as his face reddens and his temper slowly rose.
"What's with you, mate? What is wrong with me asking that?" Ron retorted loudly as his face was so red with anger he's ready to blow.
"Why do you care anyway, it's not that you had treated her well lately, in fact you've had been treated her like dirt lately and later you ignored her and don't forget that you disrespected her since last year," Harry shouted back him with such anger written in his face.
"Look who's talking, I hope that you don't forget that you had been ignoring her for the past few days, yeah of course I am angry because what she did was wrong, so what, she should know that, that's what friends do to remind them when they are wrong," Ron yelled back, his face was now as red as a tomato. He didn't noticed some of their housemates just shook their heads, disbelieved of what they had heard coming from the redhead's mouth.
"Friends, don't disgust me Ron, you don't treat her like friend, and in fact you hardly be one to her, yeah I admitted it I've been ignored her for the last few days, but at least I don't make those hurtful comments about having her relatives to visit her here, and you, on the other hand, did made one and don't forget how vocal you are about it," Harry snapped back, and later realised that they had grew an audiences as people are whispering and pointed to them. Harry had never felt so embarrassed before, usually this kind of argument happened between Ron and Hermione, but somehow Hermione was not here and Ron's such an arse, in fact a complete arse.
Ron was about to retort back when some people approached them. It was the twins and their friends, Lee, Angelina and Alicia.
"Did you hear what I've just heard, oh dear twin of mine?" George spoke teasingly and then glared at both Harry and Ron. Ron was about to snap back when Fred cut him off.
"Yes, I heard them very clearly, people would have thought that they were having a lover's spat," he said it gleefully as Harry gawked in disgust, while Lee and the others were giggling.
"Now now my dear twin, from what I've heard that these two are wondering if they should join their dear friend, our dearest Hermione Granger, at the Headmaster's office, but for what, hmmm." George responded back, pretended that he was thinking hard.
"I bet that they are planning to introduce themselves to her relatives, but as what?" Fred replied cheerfully, though deep inside the twins were furious with anger, the last few days both Ron and Harry had been ignored Hermione with Ron made his hurtful comment famous that almost reduced the girl to tears. And yet he had the decency to call himself her friend, what a prick.
"I wonder if they are planning on introducing themselves as her friends, and I wonder how well she would take it since they don't act like one, well not lately," Fred said as he nodded to his own statement.
Ron, on the other hand, was boiled with anger. His brothers were making fun of him; in fact lately they often made him a victim to their pranks, and Hermione, the rules-abiding best friend, however, didn't even tried to stop them from doing so, but she stopped them when the twins tried to pranks the younger students. And he also noticed that after he and Harry had slight fallout with Hermione, the twins and their friends had been her constant companions. Not that he cared because he was angry at her at the time.
"What do you want, trying to make fun of me again eh, oh yeah since Hermione had became your friend so you two are free to do whatever you want, don't forget that she was our friend first and always will be, and when she realised that I was right she will beg for my friendship again," Ron said smugly. The twins and their friends and also Harry, on the other hand, looked at him disgustedly.
"And that's where you are wrong, ickle Ronniekin, because with the comment 'you're being stupid Hermione, this is a school for magical students like us, not an attraction place for stupid muggle, so therefore those useless muggles won't be able to find it, and besides this would show those relatives of yours who's superior because we had magic and we can do anything as we wish while they don't have magic so basically they are just useless anyway, so what's the points of having them to come here and visit you while you are going to embarrass yourself and them because people will make fun of them and they can't do anything about it', I don't think that Hermione will ever forgive you, and apparently you didn't noticed that you had just lost a friendship with her when you gave that comment. In fact the friendship between the two of you had fallen apart since last year even, but you are just blind to see it, and one for sure, Hermione is not the type who would beg for your friendship, she's not desperate to have your friendship back anyway because you are a lazy, a prick, useless pig, a complete arse and there's too many to say and I had never felt so ashamed and angry at you," Fred said with such anger that both Harry and Ron suddenly felt afraid of the angry twins and at the same time ashamed of themselves.
"So do I, my dear twin, so do I," George seconded him as their friends nodded, agreed with them. The twins and their friends glared at the two boys with utter disgusted, more on Ron than Harry.
"So, for that I suggested the two of you don't go anywhere near her for quite some time because she don't need the two of you right now, not with the way you had treated her lately, especially you Ronniekin, if you know what's good for you so I suggest you leave her alone. And besides you are wrong about her relatives, and Harrykin, there's nothing wrong about having a muggle to come here, yes it would affect the Statute of Secrecy and what shit but we somehow find it quite a wonderful idea because who knows what we can learn from them at the same time they can learn something from us, I'm sorry that you have such a bad family Harry but that doesn't make all muggles bad like them you know," Fred spoke with sorrowful eyes at him, he felt bad and sorry for the green-eyed wizard. Harry nodded in regret, he knew that he was wrong to treated someone who cared for him liked this.
Ron turned and walked away from there, going somewhere but Harry didn't care at all. Their friendships are now on the verge of falling apart. Harry, however, was left there standing with the twins and their friends.
"Thanks Fred and George, I've…never felt so ashamed with myself, I didn't know how wrong I was, nor how I had hurt her in a way, I just…I wish that it was easy for me to accept all that, you know, to have muggles to come here and not worry about the Statute and all. She told me once that muggles couldn't even find this place and all they saw was ruined castle, she said it was written in Hogwarts: A History that she loved so much, but somehow she was able to bring them here, with a written permission from the Headmaster and McGonagall, which really surprised me, and what do you mean by Ron was wrong about her relatives?" Harry spoke as the twins glanced at each other. Since they had befriended the young witch, they had learnt a lot about her relatives and it gave them a quite shock to learn that not all muggles are the same or typical in a way that they had thought and some even can be extraordinary.
"The thing was, when we found out about that and with her relatives coming here, we asked her the same things, and she told us this, her relatives, family, are not of the ordinary people. Although she's the only one that born with magic, that's what she said, but that doesn't make them just an ordinary or typical muggles that we may or have known. And if they managed to convince both Dumbledore and McGonagall to have them here with written permission and official letters, it showed that these people are extraordinary in a sense, or maybe more, and although Hermione didn't tell us what makes them extraordinary or different from any typical muggle, but with them having both McGonagall and Dumbledore to agree like this it does tell something, don't you think?" George spoke while his twins and their friends nodded, agreed with him.
"Okay, but why she didn't tell me about this?" Harry said as he felt hurtfully at the revelation. The twins looked at each other and sighed.
"Harrykin, I hoped that you remembered when Hermione told you about having her cousin to come here to visit her, what was your reaction to this news?" Fred asked as Harry looked away, suddenly realised how he treated her that day and how she looked hurtful after that.
"I scolded her for being careless and all and talked about that Statute crap and all, and I've ignored her since that day," Harry spoke softly; he was so ashamed of himself now.
"Yes you did, and with that you didn't even give her a chance to explain them to you, you didn't realise how much you had hurt her in a way," Angelina spoke.
"She's your best friend Harry, and at least she did told you about having them here because she didn't think it's fair to keep this from you, but you didn't give her a chance and you began to treated her liked Ron did, and I don't blame her if you didn't know about this at all," Alicia said as Harry looked away again, he felt that tears are built in his eyes. They were right, and he was wrong about everything. He began to wonder if he could salvage his friendship with Hermione after this.
"Tha…thanks guys, for everything, I…I think I better go," Harry said hurriedly as he began to walk away. Although it's hurt that he cannot go anywhere near her for a moment, but he is determined to save his friendship with Hermione no matter what, he determined that he will apologised to her and gain back her friendship no matter what it would cost him.
The twins and their friends looked at each other and shook their heads. They are hoping that the friendships between the Golden Duo will be saved, because they knew that Harry needed Hermione badly to keep him in line and more importantly, to keep him out of trouble.
"Anyway I on behalf of the teachers here are so glad to have all of you here in Hogwarts, and I hope that you will have a wonderful time here. And if you have any further questions or requirement, please do not hesitate to ask any of the teachers here or even myself. Though, I am sure that Miss Granger would definitely able provides answers to your questions, but if you have further enquiries please do not hesitate to come to us. Thank you once again and Minerva, Flitwick and Pomona and of course Miss Granger, please show our guests to the guests chamber," Dumbledore spoke as Tsuna and the rest thanked him as they began to follow the Head of Houses to their guests chamber. Professor Sprout was already waiting for them at the Headmaster's office before the Headmaster and the rest of them arrived earlier.
Earlier, the Headmaster had organised a welcoming committee and the appointed the Head of Houses to be part of it, but Snape refused to be part of this so-called committee and he even said that he won't sullied himself to welcome those muggles to their prestige school. After being reprimanded by the Headmaster and McGonagall, Snape left to his own office.
After their wonderful and proper introduction, without the snivelling Snape and the inept toad in pink, the Headmaster and the Head of Houses learnt something about these muggles, though they could tell that there's something about them, but they didn't dared to vocal it out loud. They are not Umbridge in a sense.
As McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout led their guests, they began to ask their guests questions about the mundane world because they had never got the proper chance to actually ventures into the mundane world, especially to different countries or nation. Some of the Vongola are eager to share some knowledge with the Head of Houses, and most of the time they talked about traditions that are different from one country to the others and what to be expected of the modern and advance mundane world, and the only things they did not want to mentions are about them being mafias. That's one of the knowledge that they are not eager to share with anyone in particular, except those who they'll deem fit.
As they reached the guests chamber and a password is given, McGonagall led them inside and there, the mafias looked awed at the sight. The chamber was pretty large and it had enough rooms for everyone, even for Hermione should she wanted to have a sleepover here, and it was facing the Black Lake on one side and the forest behind on the others. The deputy Headmaster even appointed a house-elf for them should they wants anything. After Dobby had explained to Hermione why house-elf needed to bond to a wizard or here bonded with the 'school', she accepted the reason for it, although she was not really happy about it.
After the three Head of Houses left, some of the mafias started to choose their bedrooms, some even lingers around and looking at the views while Gokudera and Yamamoto are trying to prevent Ryohei from shouting 'EXTREME' loudly outside the window facing the Black Lake and Hermione joined both her cousins on the couch. She really missed them so much; in fact she missed everyone here because her only form of communication with them was usually via phone calls, and the only people she would constantly saw was Reborn and sometimes the Vongola 9th when he came to visit her family.
"So, tells us, how you feel?" Tsuna began to ask her, and Hermione knew in particular of what he was asking about.
"Well, I'm quite sad, still I do, but somehow I am hoping that he would come to his sense in the future and we'll become best friend again, but for now I do not think that I would want to forgive him that easily. I've had let them off easily too many times, but not this time. If he still wants this friendship then he has to earn it back by himself, and as for the redhead idiot, I think that I had enough of him," Hermione said as Tsuna, Dino and even Reborn looked at her. Some of them even listened to her. They could sense her determination, but also there's sadness in her eyes. She missed her best friend, but she was right about not to forgive him easily.
The Vongola, the Varia and even Dino and Reborn had heard about this Harry Potter from Hermione and both her parents from time to time, mostly when Hermione wrote to her parents. But when she told them about the sudden fall out with both Harry and Ron, they were quite surprised, and when she told them the reason why, they were quite angry at the two boys despite not knowing or meeting them yet. They didn't hear much of the redhead idiot, Ron, because Hermione hardly talked about him, but they could tell that Hermione was not very fond of him especially since last year. Apparently something had happened between them that Hermione had no longer deemed Ron as her best friend.
"I was quite lonely without them, mostly Harry. After I told them and other Gryffindors about all of you coming here, some of them were quite angry for some reasons and quite vocal with their comments, and some even ignored me. But somehow, there's a few who choose to ignored about all those craps of the so-called 'my wrongdoing' and became my friends and constant companions and they somehow agreed that to have all of you here are not at all a bad idea. And trust me they would love to meet all of you because they would love to learn lots of things about the mundane world and such, well it typically because they are the famous pranksters here and I bet that they are probably looking for some ideas for their pranks, but then I'm glad to be with them because I'm not alone at all, at least that I still have some friends who supported me," Hermione said as Tsuna gripped her hand and held her closer while Dino patted her on her shoulder softly.
Tsuna and the rest of the Vongola, as well as the Varia and also the Cavallone, had promised her parents as well as themselves that they will looked after her while they are here, and not only that but because it is time for them to awake her inner flame that are currently still 'asleep'. During her training before was mostly to build her strength, speed and all. Hermione will never be the next Vongola boss; she and her parents already make sure of it. But they, consisted of the Vongola, the Varia, the Cavallone and even her parents, had already had plan for her and they will tell her when the time comes.
But for now they wanted her for themselves.
Here you go, the third chapter for this story. The Mafia had their first confrontation with Umbridge, and that's surely not good for the toad in pink. As for those who wants to see Harry and Ron to finally meet the Mafia, it would probably be in the next chapter or so. Anyway if anyone would say that Hermione is a bit OC here, I think that it's time for her to make a stand for herself and because Hermione is so forgiven with her best friends some times they tended to take her for granted. I think that it is not fair for Harry to easily forgiven Ron despite how many times the redhead idiot had turned his back on him, but took a long time for forgave Hermione and it took Hagrid for them to finally saw their mistake. Yeah of course Hermione was also wrong here but she had a good reason and that reason was because she cared for him, and it's just a fucking broom for goodness sake.
Anyway I really hoped that all of you would enjoyed this chapter. Your reviews would make my day, and any criticism and positive flame are very much welcomed =D
