AN: Woah, I got up this morning and my email was full of Story/Author alerts and favorites I'm glad so many people like my first endeavors into the Fanfiction world!
Thanks for the reviews as well of course! frannienzbabe had some questions which were:
What will harry look like in this story? Harry is 17 years and voldie-shorts is dead so it becomes AU and I've taken some liberties with death of certain characters (_). Harry looks about the same as he does in the book or if you prefer it the movies but I warn you I stopped watching the movies after Half-blood Prince. If you're wondering about height I say he about the same size as Haruhi so doesn't make him that much taller than Huni.
Will other hp characters be in this?That is a very good question. As you will see in this chapter Harry will be able to communicate with people in England. One of those people is Remus who is alive *yaa* since he is the instigator to Harry ending up at Ouran. More characters are brought up in this chapter but as of now I don't yet have any plans for any other Hp characters to visit Ouran.
Oh I also made some tiny mistakes in last chapter that does not require the readers to go back and look.
But Huni's eyes are Brown not Blue, and Ouran students apparently graduate after their 3rd year so Harry would be in 2nd year same year as Tamaki and Kyoya (thank god for wiki).
Sorry for the mix up that has been corrected for this and the last chapter. If I make any more plot error I will try to sweep them under the rug or you can point them out to me. All spelling mistakes are mine.
Chapter 2: If the boat sinks do I still get my tea?
Harry dozed in his bed, the early morning quietness that surrounded him was very different from the dorm rooms at Hogwarts, but louder than the deathly quietness that was Grimmauld Place.
Hedwig was curled up in the corner of the room in a nest shaped bed with her new companion Oswald. He was a long distance owl that Hermione had gifted to him. Oswald was a lot bigger in both body and wingspan when compared to Hedwig. It seemed that being big was a must in terms of owl romance since Harry could not remember Hedwig been that cozy with Pigwidgeon when the little owl had to stay the night
Harry had not used Oswald yet, but he planned too once he had something more exciting to tell Hermione and the others. Harry was sure that the things going on in the magical world would be more interesting then hearing him moan about his science class project. He didn't want Hermione thinking he regretted the choice of going to the muggle world. He didn't, being in the muggle world was just the break he need from all things magical.
Rising from the bed Harry grabbed his glasses and shuttered the windows knowing the owls would like the extra darkness before heading for the little walk in closet. This was one of the features that had sold Harry on wanting to buy the studio apartment he now resided in. Not as big as a house, not as small as a regular apartment, lots of space for his cloths.
The closet was full of clothing some that had been given to him by his friends and adopted family, while the rest he bought himself. The freedom of being able to wear form fitting cloths was something Harry now enjoyed though he might have went a little overboard.
'If school didn't have a casual Friday some of these cloths would never see the light of day. Though for some of them it's probably for the best.' Harry thought while holding up a maroon red shirt before shoving it back on the rack.
Tugging on a black lock of his hair Harry walked down to full length mirror at the end of the closet peering at his reflection. His emerald green eyes looked sleepy behind his glasses but he was sure once he brushed up in the bathroom he wouldn't looks so bad. His hair was unruly as ever. 'Just like his father' people back home would say. He once tried growing it out as a kind of an escape from the image. He soon learned that the look was not for him when he visited Remus' bedroom in the middle of the night. Harry was sure he had added more grey hairs to Remus' head. When George and Fred heard the story they started referring to him as the mop monster. Harry immediately cut it back to the normal length but kept some bangs to help cover up his scar.
It was summer time so Harry picked out something light to wear, just a white polo shirt with short sleeves and pair of slacks. He didn't want to look to flashy.
On his way out the door Harry stopped to check his mail box. He would not put it past Hermione to send him muggle mail complaining about the fact that he had not used Oswald yet. Instead he found a white envelope the same type he gotten when he first applied for the academy with the Ouran Academy seal stamped in gold. 'I would not be surprised if it was real gold they used.' Harry thought before opening the package. A Loud pop sounded from the envelope before confetti began raining from the sky. Startled Harry dropped the envelope so could pull his wand out but remembered he stored it at the bottom of his messenger bag to avoid accidently whipping it out at school.
"What in Merlin's name!" Harry said before crouching down and peeking carefully inside the envelope.
There was a brochure announcing the voyage of the Titanic and a card that he could not quiet see. But just the word Titanic spelled out at the top of the brochure in big black letters made Harry retrieve his wand and after checking for nosy neighbors recast his translation spell before reading it again. But it was no mistake.
Harry picked the envelope back up and began walking to school. Pouring out the continents of the envelope he slid the brochure easily into his messenger bag before observing the other items. One was the card he seen early.
There seem to be three of them all together. First card on top was of a blonde guy holding a rose and winking. At of the bottom in black was the name Suoh Tamaki while the back said Ouran Host Collectable Trading Card Game. 'He reminds me of someone.' Harry thought staring at picture for awhile before dismissing it. The second card had the picture of dark haired boy he remember meeting at host club, it was far less interesting then the last card so Harry the first two card back into the envelope.
The last card sparkled, like one of those special collector cards that Ron raved about for Quidditch teams and kept in special protective packaging. 'Luckily these don't move' Harry thought shivering at the thought of Tamaki's picture actually winking at him.
It was a picture of Huni in little white pajamas that made him look like a bunny. One brown eye hidden by a hand that was rubbing sleep from them while the other eye drooped down sleepily due to the fact that the other hand was occupied by a light pink bunny that Harry vaguely remembered seeing the boy holding yesterday. 'It really too cute' Harry thought.
Huni's full name, Haninozuka Mitsukuni was printed at the bottom in reflective gold color. He could see why people had shortened it to it cuter name, certainly was a mouth full.
Flipping it on the back revealed random information about Huni. 'One year older than me!' Harry thought in surprise as he mentally calculated the birthday listed on the card versus his own.
Harry assessment of the card was interrupted by a squeal suddenly coming from the street as a white car came to a sudden stop a few feet up the road. A valet came around and opened the rear passenger door as Tagomi hopping out of the back seat and she heading straight for him.
Her long black hair flowed behind her, and black eyes were bright with her ever present joy. Tagomi was the perfect image of a Japanese heiress and always wore a kimono for causal Friday.
"Harry-Kun good morning, I'm so happy I ran into you."
"Good morning Tagomi- san."She waved off the greeting before clasping both of her hands around his right hand.
"I'm so happy that you have started going to the Host club, Harry kun." She said her eyes welling up with tears of joy.
"Actually, I've only been there once." Harry tried pointing out but Tagomi was ignoring him in favor of the card he held in his hand.
"Oh, I was hoping you have a Tamaki card, but that okay. Let me give you a ride to school." Tagomi said redirecting him towards her car.
"Thanks, Do I even want to know what you are talking about?" Harry asked before entering the car.
Sliding in next to him Tagomi waited for the car to start moving before answering his question. "I'm talking about your membership card, I prefer Tamaki-sama by the way, he a perfect gentleman. Of course, the others hosts have their strong points. But still, just look at him!" She sighed pulling out her own version of the glittery card featuring Tamaki.
Harry quickly looked away from the picture on the card trying to will the image from his brain. The picture was too scary for words.
Harry looked back at Tagomi warily not sure he liked where this conversation was going, but he had to ask. "Tagomi-san what is Ouran Host Club?"
"Why it is the best place on earth. You get to relax, have tea, eat delicious desserts while surrounded by beautiful boys, and Tamaki-sama…"Harry ignored Tagomi for the rest of the ride since it seemed he would not get a clear understanding from her and all she would do now was talk about the cursed card and 'Tamaki-sama' for the rest of the day.
After a trip to the library during his break and little help from a computer Harry learned the true meaning of the word host. Now his next plan of action was to find the nearest exit after the last bell and get back to his apartment before Tagomi found him.
Sadly he had no chance to escape since Tagomi seem to attach herself to him for the rest of the day, almost as if she knew he was planning to escape. She even followed him to his apartment to help him pack before dragging him to an unknown location. The location was possible listed in his brochure but he was avoiding reading that right now.
The docks held a small version of the Titanic and looked like it could hold about a hundred people. 'I think it bad luck to name your ship the Titanic, it not safe, what if it sinks.' Harry thought looking at the cursive script on the side of the ship before following an obviously excited Tagomi to the boarding plank already full of equal excited girls.
"Good evening Ladies…and Gentleman" Kyoya said once they reach the top of the boarding plank. He appeared to be wearing a cruise captain's outfit; his magical laptop lay out on a podium next to him. "I'm glad you could join us" He said causally looking pointedly at Harry before tapping something into the computer. Harry feared by the end of day he would have something exciting to tell Hermione about.
Random AN: Men, this was so long I had to cut out the ship action so you'll get that in chapter three along with Huni! I hope you like Tagomi she like Harry's own personal Renge. I'm gonna try to stick to first names outside of speech but it was really weird typing out Huni full name so it will remain it shorten form.
In most fanfics Harry always ends up joining the host club so I thought I stick him on receiving end this time.
Who do you think Tamaki reminds Harry of?
You can expect the next chapter soon but probably not today...or night depending on where you live. While contemplating my titles for chapter two and three I realized if you replace the word tea with Huni it still makes sense. I might have to play around with that :3.
