Chapter 3: Symmetrical Rage and a Shocking Date
It had been a week since Harry's arrival at Death City and so far it had been no picnic. He had school work to do, homework, apartment searching as well as extra lessons with Lord Death. But things seemed to finally be looking up. Lord Death had given him an apartment; he was in the top five in the class and was pretty popular. Nothing could go wrong, that was, until the day HE came.
It had started out like any other day. He got up, got dressed, had breakfast and then left to go to Maka and Soul's place. They walked to DWMA and then Harry spent the day going to class and dodging Black Star, who would not stop attacking him. Well, by attacking, he meant trying to attack him. He had managed to sneak outside only to bump into very soft something's. He looked up only to find himself gazing at a rather large pair of sweater-covered breasts. He quickly grabbed his nose in an effort to overcome the very large nosebleed that was fighting to escape.
"PATTY! Watch where you're going, you could have hurt this guy. Are you ok?"
Harry saw the breasts being pushed away to reveal someone's face. It was a girl, about a couple of years older than him by the looks of it, and beside her was another girl. They were both dressed similarly except one wore shorts instead of jeans and they were both different heights. They both turned around when a loud shout of "PATTY! LIZ! Where are you?"
"Over here!" The two girls yelled. A few seconds later a boy appeared panting. He had short black hair with three white stripes on the left side of his hair. The weird thing though, was that the boy's clothes and the two rings he wore were rather symmetrical. The boy glanced at Harry and smiled.
"Hello, I hope my friends here didn't bother you. So, who are you exactly?"
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter. And you are?"
"Death, Death the Kid." They both gripped each other's hands. They were on the path to becoming friends when it happened. A light breeze blew in from behind Kid and blew up Harry's fringe. Not by much but just enough to expose the lightning-bolt scar above his right eye. Kid wrenched his hand and clutched it to his chest, a look of horror in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked, confused at the boy's sudden change in behaviour. Kid pointed a shaky finger at him.
"You…are GARBAGE!"
Harry was both taken aback and a little pissed. He was getting on fine with him and now he was insulting him. What the hell was this guy's problem?
"You... You are unsymmetrical trash! Patty! Liz! Weapon form!"
The two girls transformed into two pistols in a flash of purple light and soared into Kid's hands. Harry noted that Kid holds the two pistols upside down. Kid quickly fired off to shots which Harry quickly dodged.
"Dude what the hell is wrong with you! You can't shoot me, I haven't done anything!" He rolled out of the way of another 'bullet'. He noticed that they weren't normal bullets.
"What the hell is he firing at me?"
He heard a distorted laugh coming from one of the pistols, which he guessed was the girl Liz.
"I see you noticed that we don't fire bullets. Instead we fire Kid's Soul Wavelength in a compressed form." They were surprised to see a predatory grin stretch across Harry's face. Kid lowered his gun as he stared at him.
"What?"
"Last time I checked, Soul Wavelength wasn't lethal. Hurts like hell, yes. Lethal, no." He reached behind him and pulled out his Glock and pointed it at Kid whose eyes widened in horror. "This on the other hand, is lethal." And with that he quickly fired off a shot. He cursed when Kid dodged it and started firing back. Harry was so busy dodging Kid's shots while firing his own, that he never noticed a certain blue-haired assassin running at him until he was forced to duck under his kick. He lashed out with his own kick and unlike his attacker, his hit was successful. He heard a cry of pain and a thud. He chanced a look and, sure enough, saw Black Star climbing to his feet while clutching his stomach.
"Hey! I'm the one that's supposed to beating people up not you!"
Harry sighed and quickly used a duplication spell on his Glock. He had become pretty good at wandless magic through his time training in the mirror. He found out that he could actually wrap magic around bullets and had cast a replenishing charm on the cartridges. He only had to make sure that he recast the charm at the end of the month. He pointed both the guns at Kid and continued his counter attack.
"A little busy here Black Star! Why don't you go hang out with Soul or something?"
A tick mark appeared over Black Star's head whilst he glared at him.
"I know what you're doing! You're trying to steal my spotlight! Well I won't let you, Tsubaki! Weapon form now!"
Both Harry and Kid sweat dropped so bad that they both stopped shooting at each other. Black Star stared at them in confusion.
"What?" Harry glanced at Kid and sighed.
"You want to take this?"
"Err….Black Star is it? Your weapon isn't here." Black Star's face went red and he screamed:
"I know that!" And he lunged at Kid. Now, usually this wouldn't be a bother but Kid was currently horrified at Black Star's asymmetrical appearance due to a large gravy stain on the left leg of his pants. Harry however aimed his Glocks at Black Star and fired. He would have let Black Star hit Kid but he noticed that Black Star had drawn a small knife. Black Star fell to the ground, howling in pain as he clutched his arm. Kid stared at the downed Black Star, the knife and the smoke coming out of the barrel.
"Thanks…I guess?" Harry just nodded and he vanished the copy gun and then placed the other in the waistband of his jeans. He looked to the confused Kid who was still looking at Black Star.
"So, while you're out of your rampaging mode, why are you here?" Kid snapped out of his daze and looked at Harry.
"I'm here to learn, that's why I came to a 'school'." He said in an 'are you an idiot' tone. Harry chuckled sheepishly before grinning.
"Here, let me escort you and your lady friends to class." Kid smiled and followed after him while Liz and Patty transformed back and ran after the two. Inwardly they were both surprised that Harry had saved Kid and both increased their speed as the two boys began to race.

Harry was nervous as he stood outside the door. He couldn't believe that he had done it. He swore he was gonna kill Kid if anything happened, as it was their idea to ask her out. That's right, Harry James Potter, was going on a date. And not just any date, a date with the girl he was crushing on since he arrived. He sighed as he remembered that awkward situation back in science.
*Flashback*
Harry sighed, he tried to concentrate on Stein's lesson but Kid kept whispering in his ear. Even though they barely knew each other, they had quickly become good friends. Unfortunately Harry had told Kid about his crush.
"Come on, just ask her. She'll say yes." Harry glared at him.
"Dude, two things. One: I'm trying to concentrate and two: She won't, I know she won't." He turned back to Stein but growled inwardly as Kid began his insistent pestering. He froze when an evil grin past over his face.
"What?" he asked, already fearing Kid's answer and sure enough he was filled with dread.
"If you don't ask her, I'll ask her for you." Harry stared at him in horror.
"You wouldn't!"
"Try me."
He glared at the symmetrical obsessed boy before sighing; he was doing that a lot these days.
"Fine, I'll do it after class." Kid let out a small cheer but quickly covered his mouth when Stein and the rest of the class looked at them.
"Is there something you would like to say?" asked Stein as he twisted the screw that was lodged in his head. Harry smirked at the mad scientist.
"Yeah, that you're fucking insane." Some of the class sniggered while Stein glared at him. He muttered something that sounded like "Damn kids...test subjects...screams"
Half an hour later the bell rang. Kid nudged him and jerked his thumb over his shoulder. Harry stared at him before letting out a groan.
"This is gonna suck."
He walked over to the other side of the room and approached a desk.
"Hey Maka!" The scythe Meister looked up at him and smiled.
"Hi Harry, how are you?" Harry felt his voice catch in his throat; he noticed Soul and Kid were watching them. Kid in a rather weak show of support and Soul in confusion.
"I'm alright, how are you?"
"Same." She noticed Harry's nervous stance "Is everything ok?"
"Oh….yeah, I'm ok. I actually wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?" She was concerned over how nervous he looked. He cough, took a deep breath and asked:
"Willyougoonadatewithmetonigh t?" Maka stared at him in confusion.
"Sorry I didn't catch that, could you say that again?" Harry took another deep breath.
"Will you go on a date with me tonight?" He held his breath as Maka stared at him in surprise.
"What?"
"WHAT?" Yelled Soul as he stared at Harry in amazement "Why would he want to go on a date with a flat chest like her?" A book sailed from across the room and smacked him in the face. Maka looked at the nervous Harry and smiled, a small blush on her cheeks.
"Yes, yes I would love to go on a date with you." Harry let out a breath had he hadn't realised he was holding until now and grinned.
"Great, so I was thinking about picking you up at seven maybe?"
"My place at seven, ok. See you later then." She picked up her bag and walked away. Harry noticed that there was a little sway in her hips.
"Bloody minx." He said, a stupid grin plastered over his face. Kid slapped him on the back.
"There we go, that wasn't so hard now was it."
Harry said nothing, he just stood there with that stupid grin on his face.
*End Flashback*
Harry took a deep breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door twice. When the door opened his mouth dried up at the site. Maka stood there wearing a deep red dress with spaghetti arm straps. She wore red lipstick and had her hair down. He was amazed at how pretty, no, beautiful she looked. You would never suspect that this girl was Maka Albarn, the Meister of Soul. She blushed at Harry's amazed stare.
"Hi Harry." Harry snapped out of his daze and shook his head like a dog.
"Hey Maka." He said breathlessly "You look amazing." She blushed before giving him a once over. He wore an emerald green button up shirt over a pair of black jeans.
"You don't look too bad yourself." Harry grinned and held out his hand.
"Shall we mi' lady?" She giggled as she took his hand and the two walked down the street. About five minutes later they stopped outside a small restaurant that Maka thought was cute. Harry merely raised an eyebrow at the name.
"Casa d'Amore, House of Love? Tch that's typical." They both walked through the door and they both noticed a sign with the words 'Take a seat if any are available'. They both took a seat near a window and within seconds a waitress appeared at their table with a notebook.
"Ciao, welcome to Casa d'Amore. What will you and the lovely signora be having signor?" They both looked at the menu for a couple of minutes before they made their order.
"I'll have the Minestrone and Risotto con scamorza e champagne." Said Maka as she handed the waitress her menu which she took before looking at Harry.
"And you signor?"
"I'll have the Stracciatella and the Baccalá." He handed his menu to the waitress who nodded while tucking both menus under her arm.
"And what would you like to drink?"
"Just water would be fine." Said Maka who then smiled at Harry.
"I'll have a coke." Again the waitress nodded and then walked away with their orders. Maka looked around the small restaurant and sighed.
"This place is really cute don't you think?" She asked. Harry nodded as he continued to watch Maka's face as she looked around. It was so bright and nice instead of her usual stern expression.
They chatted about random things like Stein's sanity, Kid's oddness and Lord Death in general. They stopped talking when their food came. The silence was both warm and comforting. When they finished, they both stood up and walked to the door. Harry paid for the meal at the till and they both departed from the restaurant. They walked around for a little while discussing about random things. Maka looked at Harry, a serious gleam in her eyes.
"So what do you think of Death City so far?" Harry smiled as he gazed around at the quiet street.
"At first I was a little creeped out by the bleeding moon and laughing sun but now, I don't think I would be able to last back at home where the moon and sun are normal." Maka stared at him, a far too innocent smile on her face.
"Is that the only reason you wouldn't be able to go home?" Harry blushed at the question and grinned.
"Well, there is this girl that I would miss. Mostly her sarcastic comments and cute pout." As they teased each other their faces slowly came closer and closer until their lips were only millimetres apart. It was then a deafening CRACK sounded through the street. They both leapt apart and Harry quickly pulled out the Glock that he had hidden beneath his shirt. He stood in front of Maka, to defend her from any attackers and pointed the gun at the source of the noise.
"Come out now or I will pump you full of lead!" He barked, his grip on the handle tightening. Two figures walked out of the alleyway in front of them, both had their hands in the air. Harry instantly knew that they were wizards due to their robes. One wore shabby patched ones while the other wore frayed, dirty ones. The one wearing dirty robes turned to the other wizard.
"Bloody hell Mooney! I've been gone for twelve years and he already has a girlfriend AND knows how to use a gun!" Harry's ears perked up at the name 'Mooney'.
"Wait! Mooney, as in Mooney from the map?" Harry asked as he looked from Mooney to the other man. There was something about him that was familiar. He nearly dropped the gun in shock when Mooney spoke.
"Why yes Padfoot, didn't you read the whole letter?"
"Professor Lupin?" Harry asked in a shaky voice and sure enough, when the man stepped forward, he saw the tired, scarred face of Remus Lupin. He smiled at the shocked Harry and confused Maka.
"Hello Harry, it's nice seeing you again. Let me introduce the two of you. Harry, this" he gestured to the man next to him "is you Godfather, Sirius Black." The gun fell to the ground with a small thud while Harry sank to his knees. The man in dirty robes stepped forward and Harry saw the matted black hair and gaunt face of Sirius Black. Black smiled at him.
"Hello Harry, I'm so proud of you."
