If you have a better idea for the name for "Blending" then please message me and tell me, because blending sounds like~


Hunny never touched the slice of cake in front of him "I want Haru-chan to come back." he said simply, something that was on all of the Host's minds. They all tried to visit Haruhi as much as they could, but the Nurses at the hospital were very stubborn about the "Family Only" visiting rules at certain hours of the day, and because the Host Club was not a School-Funded club, they had to keep raising funds to pay for refreshments and things like that. Mori sat still, but his face showed even less emotion than usual. It was hard to tell that he was even breathing. Hikaru and Kaoru were sitting quietly on a couch, a habit they had formed in the past week while waiting for the guests to arrive.

"We should visit her today." Hikaru requested

"Visit her or try to visit her?" Kaoru said. Hikaru slouched in defeated agreement. "It's not fair. She was on crutches just a few days ago. What happened?"

"Headaches for a person who recently had an extremely severe injury to anywhere near the brain is not something that should be taken lightly, Kaoru." Kyouya said, typing compulsively away at his laptop.

~~~~~~~~~~~ AT HOGWARTS

Ron kept the drawing of Harry and Haruhi on his bedside table, not really knowing what to do with it.

He had been staring at the drawing for a few days now, and it had changed very much. Harry's arms were still around Haruhi, but the two of them seemed closer than they were before, and somehow there was an eyepatch covering Haruhi's right eye. Ron figured it was somebody playing a joke on him, but everybody else seemed as surprised by what happened as he was. In Ron's next letter to Harry, he asked him about it, to which Harry responded, "What drawing?"

"Creepy.." Ron shuddered

~~~~~~~~AT THE HOSPITAL

Harry and Haruhi were casually talking, him sitting by her hospital bed, the occasional kiss happening. The two of them were finally allowed some time together through all of the chaos of her family. Just when the two of them were having their conversation, a pair of red-headed twins walked into the room. "Oi, Harry." Fred said

"What is it?"

"Skeeter.'s at it again." George said darkly "You haven't even been in England yet she still has the audacity to write this damn column about you." Harry twitched "Don't ask about Hermione's discussion with her, Rita's got diplomatic immunity now."

"Huh?" Haruhi said

"Some journalist in England. She's been on Harry's case since he was fourteen because he got entered in some competion he was too young for. She's the nosiest little wench out there." Fred said

"So what's she done?" Harry asked. Fred and George held up a copy of the Prophet to his face. Harry was white as a ghost first, then normal when he realised the twins had put a charm on the paper so the pictures wouldn't move, then became white again when he focused his eyes on the real problem. He saw a picture of him and Haruhi walking home from school on his first day and and article next to it.

HARRY POTTER: LOVE SCANDAL WITH MUGGLE?

Young Harry Potter, 16, was seen walking with another student from his new school with dreamy eyes, sparkling like unicorn's blood, and his face as red as a pixies tongue-

Harry stopped there. He crumpled up the paper and threw it into a trashcan violently. Haruhi stared at him, not knowing what to say.

"You two leave." he pointed to Fred and George. They nodded and closed the door behind them.

"Unicorn's blood?" Haruhi asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Haruhi," he said, taking her hands in his, "There''s something I've got to tell you."

"I'm listening."

"Now, you've got to keep an open mind about this. No matter what, I'm still the Harry that you love, understand?"

"Harry, you're scaring me now."

Harry leaned in close to Haruhi, barely an inch away from her. Into her ear, he whispered three words,

"I'm a wizard."

Haruhi blinked, then took a deep breath. "I really wish you didn't tell me that."

Harry's heart nearly stopped, he put his lips together tightly, afraid that he might scream if he didn't. "*ahem*.. Oh?"

"Because.. I was waiting for the right time to tell you.. my.. secret."

Harry didn't know wether to be happy or devastated. Haruhi had accepted one of his darkest secrets (to the Muggle world) but had possibly even darker secrets of her own? He pulled himself together, and finally had the courage to say,

"I just told you I'm a wizard."

"And I need to tell you that I can sort of read minds."

"What?"

"Hey, that works." she said smugly, approving the way she handled that situation. Harry took a few more deep breaths, before sitting on the bed, next to Haruhi and holding her close.

"You aren't scared?"

"You should be scared." Haruhi said cooly. Harry paused. "I'm kidding, I can't control it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. But somehow it nearly always works with animals."

Harry swallowed, trying to ease the tension in his throat, "Really?" he asked.

"Yeah... Unicorn blood shines? Wait, no, what's a muggle?"

"Non-magic people. Unicorn blood is silver blood, it's.. pure." he said, recalling that very unpleasant detention he earned in his first year at Hogwarts.

"Tell me more."

"Well.." Harry said, putting his arm around her. "In the Wizarding world, all the pictures move. That newspaper just had a muggle-friendly charm on it. And my school was... "he leaned in close to whisper to her, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He got off of the bed when he heard footsteps, and innocently sat in the chair. " I have a wand you know." he said quietly. "I'll try to find magic that I can show you that wont get me arrested."

"What?"

"It's a long story."

"Your secret is so much cooler." She whispered back. Harry was about to kiss her when the door was opened violently, followed by a:

"Haruhi!" coming from four very loud voices.

"Hey guys! I didn't know you were coming today."

"Haru-chan we missed you!" Hunny cried and ran to hug her "We're sorry we couldn't come sooner!"

"It's alright sempai." Haruhi said, patting his back. Kaoru was hesitant about entering the room, as he knew perfectly well that Harry didn't like him, and that probably meant that he was in for a very awkward time.

Harry whispered to Haruhi, "Do I have to be here for this? I don't like the guy from that time one bit."

Haruhi laughed a bit, "He can tell."

"So?"

"Please stay. I'm going to leave soon, anyway."

"Where?"

"Cafeteria." Haruhi said "They'll never eat cafeteria food."

"How are you feeling Haruhi?" Hikaru asked.

"I feel great. Why do you ask?"

"Well... the um-"

"Yes?"

"With the..er-"

"Uh-huh?"

Hikaru was saved by a little toddler with her hair in pigtails, running into the room. She had brown hair and eyes that mimicked Haruhi's. She was wearing pink overalls over a white shirt and white velcrow sneakers with rainbow polkadots

"Nee...chan." she said in her soprano voice. She ran to Haruhi, who lifted her up off the ground into her arms.

"Sango-chan~!." she said and kissed the little girl's cheek

"Haruhi, who's this little cutie?" Tamaki asked with stars in his eyes. Hikaru and Kaoru shaked raddles in their hands.

"She's my cousin, her name's Sango." Haruhi said happily

"She's absolutely adorable!" Hunny squealed with a flowery blackround. Mori nodded. Kyouya scoffed.

"Nee..chan... Tsumi-nii wont share the candy.." she said quietly and held up Tsumi-kun, who was miraculously wrapping his arms around himself to keep a candy bar close to himself.

"Tsumibito..." Haruhi leaned in close to the doll and whispered something in his ear. Tamaki, Hunny, Mori and Kyouya just stared. Kaoru and Hikaru tried not to pay attention.

What in the name of hell? they all thought. Yep, even Mori.

Tsumibito's arms untangled (the host's thought that it was Haruhi's tapping his head that made it move) and the candy bar dropped to the floor "See, now was that so hard?" Haruhi said and kissed his forehead.

"Pummee down." Sango squeaked and Haruhi put her on the ground gently. Sango picked up the candy bar, handed Tsumibito to Haruhi and sat down on the ground. Sango nodded and her eyes turned to Harry.

"Sango know you?" she asked.

"Sango-chan, this is Harry." Haruhi said, the translated the opposite to Harry. Sango waved violently to Harry, who waved back at her.

"Ok, Sango. What I want you to do is wait right here while I go get your mom okay?" Haruhi said

"Sango no know these people." Sango whined

"You wanna come with me then?" Haruhi asked

"Will Nii-chan come too?" Sango asked. Haruhi nodded. Sango smiled and ran at Harry who picked her up before she broke her jaw on his knee.

"What do I do now? I don't know how to handle kids."

"Follow me." Haruhi said and hopped out the door on her crutches. Harry trailed behind her quickly.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"To find Sango's mom."

"You guys look like different age-replicas of each other." Harry asked

"We get that alot." Haruhi said and scratched her foot with her crutch

"Haruhi!" came a voice running at them

"Obaa-san!" Haruhi cried

"Why are you up? You shouldn't be up!" Kasumi shrieked "SANGO! MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!"

She quickly took Sango from Haruhi and kissed her forehead, Sango let out a little giggle. Kasumi was a tall, slender woman with silky brown hair that went down halfway down her back. She had bright blue eyes just like Akane. Kasumi was wearing dress pants with black ballet flat shoes and a thin sweater over her shirt. Her hair was tied up in a tight ponytail, restricting a single strand from going astray. Her bangs were held up with a bobby pin, so she could get work done without having to shake her head or blow hair out of her eyes.

"Obaa-san..." Haruhi said "Ah! Obaa-san, this is Potter, Harry-san."

Harry bowed as Haruhi had taught him a few greetings. "Ohiyo."

"Ohiyo! So you're the famous Harry everybody's talking about?" Kasumi asked. Harry stared and looked at Haruhi with a pleading face.

"Obaa-san, he doesn't know how to speak Japanese that much." Haruhi explained to her aunt.

"Oh." Kasumi said. She gave Haruhi a very warm hug and a kiss on the forehead, "You get better, okay? It's a long drive home, so we're leaving now. Bye!"

"Okay" Haruhi sighed "I'm going back to the room. I don't feel like eating anymore." she told Harry.

"You have another headache." he said, taking hold of her arm.

"No, I'm just not feeling that up to going all the way to the cafeteria, eating crappy food, then coming back. I haven't talked to the Hosts in a while so.."

Harry glanced at the clock, "Look, I have to go soon, but I'll be back tomorrow, alright? Right after school ends"

"School! How've you been getting by?"

"Remedial classes." Harry said, giving her a quick kiss when nobody was looking. "Okay, I have to go now-"

"Don't leave."

"Well I have something to do and you can't exactly come with me now can you?" he asked and kissed her forehead "I'll be right back. I just need to take care of something really important."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too." he said and pecked her on the lips before heading for the exit. Haruhi let out a low sigh as she made her way back to her room, thinking that it was probably time to stop avoiding the Host Club. Harry dragged George and Fred in a corner of the hospital where he was sure they wouldn't be followed, and was out of viewpoint from the security cameras.

"What are we doing?" they asked as he hung his jacket in the closet.

"One of you is Apparating with me to England. Dumbledore wants me for something."

"No! We've been taking you there all week! We haven't even been able to get a get well card for Haruhi!" they whined

"And you guys are the ones telling me to use my magic. " Harry rolled his eyes at them.

"Harry, Haruhi's a muggle. It would just be in extremely bad taste if we just conjured up a folded peice of paper for her." George explained, crossing his arms dissaprovingly.

Harry sighed,"You're right. But can one of you do that while the other's with me? It's really important that I don't miss me and Dumbledore's meeting."

"Fine then...NOT IT!" Fred hollared

"What?" Harry asked

"Dammit!" George cursed. He grabbed Harry by the arm and with a crack they dissapeared.

Fred grinned. "Works everytime." he sneered.

Hogwarts

"Harry, Mr Weasley." Dumbledore said as Harry and George made their way into his big office

"Proffesor!" Harry exclaimed

"Mind if I take a stroll around the building? We had to Apparate into Hogsmeade, then walk all the way back here and I really don't want to go back." George asked.

"I do not mind, but do be carefull. Mr. Filch is in a terrible mood. Don't get any ideas." Dumbledore warned him. George nodded quickly made his way out of the room. "Now Harry, I won't be able to see you again for a while, I haven't been feeling that well lately."

"Is everything alright?" Harry asked.

Dumbledore nodded. "I'm fine. But I have to aplogize, Harry. My condition right now is the reason I can't aid in the search. I'm afraid I would just be a burden. Professor Snape is very helpful in potions that can ease the symptoms, and I'm sure I will be able to help you in a few months." Harry cringed at the name of Snape, but nodded in understandment.

"More memories today, Sir?" Harry asked. Dumbledore went to a closet and pulled out a small glass vile. He gestured Harry over to him and handed him the tiny bottle.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, and gestured Harry over to the Pensieve.

"Who's memory is it?" Harry asked

"An old friend of Godric Gryffindor."

Gryffindor Common Room, half an hour later.

"What. the. hell?" Ron asked as he stared at George reading a copy of the Quibbler on the Gryffindor common room couch. "What are you doing here?"

"Reading." George said and shaked the book in his hands

"Why are you here?" Ron hissed

"Oh, Harry had a meeting with Dumbledore, and I had to Apparate with him." George said and went back to reading.

"Harry's here?'' Ron asked. Hermione, Ginny and Nevville came running from their dorms

"Harry's here?" they asked.

Ginny looked at George and screamed "What are you doing here? How did you even get it?"

"Is that anyway to treat your older brother?" George asked

"Have you met Harry's girlfriend?" Hermione asked.

George nodded "Did Harry tell you about her getting hospitalized?"

"Yeah, didn't mention what happened to her though." Ron said

"I don't know the details, but now Haruhi's in a cast on her leg for a couple months and she's wearing an eyepatch." George said sadly, taking his legs off of the table "Sorry about the Skeeter thing, Hermione."

Hermione looked down "I can't beleive she could be such a pest! Getting Haruhi involved like that.."

"Mind you, she wouldn't be so keen on getting that published if Scrimgeour wasn't such a thick-head." Ginny cursed, clenching her fist. They all nodded in agreement.

"Well, I've got to go now. It's been a while since I've seen my old friend, Filch, and I do hope he's ready to give me a very warm welcome. Later, then." he said, waving goodbye to them. They waved back at him as he stepped through the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"I wonder how she got hurt so badly." Neville said. "It's too bad Madam Pomfrey can't help her." The other three nodded in agreement.

"You know what's really funny?" said a passing ghost "You guys forgot that Harry Potter's in Dumbledore's office as we speak."

They ran out of the common room to greet their friend.

A few hours later

Harry walked into Haruhi's hospital room to be greeted by her throwing herself on him. "You said you'd be right back." she mumbled, not wanting to ask how he was able to visit so late at night.

"I'm sorry, I got caught up." he said and kissed her apologetically. "Can I ask you something?" he asked her. She nodded and sat back down on the bed, patting the spot right next to her so he would sit down too. "Do you know any stories about any great wizards?" he asked, sitting down next to her. "Legendary, even?"

"Well, there is one." she said, but her face scrunched p nervously

"Can you tell me?" he asked and laid down next to her.

"I could just get you a copy." she said " I don't really remember the whole thing. Last time my dad told it to me, I was pretty young."

"I don't want some made up fairy tale." he frowned

"It's a real story.."

"How do you know it's real?"

"I used to think it was just made up, but then you told me about the... thing.. so..Do you want it, or not?"

"Yes, yes I do.. Thanks." he said, pulling her closer to him. "When can you get me a copy?" he asked her

"I don't know. I'll try to get it as soon as I can. It's one that's within my family, so there's no way I can get it from the library.."

"That's fine, there's no rush." Harry said. "I don't want you worrying about it when you're about to be released from the hospital."

"Yeah..I'd like to go home, away from some of the crazy relatives I have." Haruhi said, laughing a bit.

Not all of the crazy relatives.. Harry thought, remembering his meeting with Dumbledore that day. He nodded in agreement so that Haruhi wouldn't be suspicious of lack of response. He looked at the clock, and seeing as how he only got in with magic, he decided it would be better if he left now so he wouldn't get in trouble.

"Goodnight, Haruhi." He said, leaning in to give her a deep kiss, when the door gently swung open. Harry paused, then jumped away from Haruhi, clearing his throat violently.

"Haru- oh? I-uh.. I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were busy." Akane said, flustered. Haruhi sighed,

"What is it, Onee-chan?" she asked, slightly disappointed.

"Did my mom Sango home, or is she staying with me tonight?"

"They already left. A long time ago, actually." Haruhi said, holding back a laugh. Akane frowned, "I don't like it when she does that. Night, Haruhi." she said, blowing a kiss to her. Haruhi waved goodbye to her, then looked at Harry.

"That little girl from before and Akane are sisters?" he asked. Haruhi's mouth was wide from shock. "What? You two look more alike than her and Akane, so-"

"Since when do you understand Japanese?" she cried

Harry shot her a cunning grin, "Magic."
