Woot its chapter four and I haven't given up on this story yet! This is going to an even longer chapter than the last one. (If you haven't noticed each chapter has been in the thousands for each chapter. As in chapter 1 had 1,000 and chapter 2 had 2,000 and then chapter 3 had close to 4,000 words so it's like the chapters are progressively getting longer…)
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or Harry Potter!
Chrome talked to Molly the whole way down to the guest rooms and they were all fairly certain that the only reason that she stopped talking was because Hermione was tugging at her arm telling her that it was getting late and that they needed to sleep.
Hermione, being the good friend that she was, stayed to help them pick out what bedrooms they should each have and then she went upstairs to her bedroom. She told them which room was hers if they needed anything and told them to stay out of certain bedrooms for their own good.
"There will be someone to help you find the drawing room in the morning so that we can go out, I apologize in advance for my family's behavior, please be sure to not follow their examples we are going to a nice place after all and Daddy would like to not get kicked out of this one…" Hermione said shooting them all looks, she wanted to make sure this Mama Appreciation Day was the best and that meant no getting kicked out of places.
Ron and Harry rolled their eyes at her, she was always like this. "We won't do anything Hermione." They said trying to assure her.
"I'm more worried about you two." Hermione growled looking at Fred and George, who she just knew were going to get along great with her fathers.
"We won't do anything to ruin your huge family thing Hermione." They assured her.
"Don't worry I'll keep them in line." Ginny said to her friend before Molly demanded that they all go to bed like Hermione had forced Chrome to do a little bit earlier.
"Goodnight, I'll see you all in the morning." Hermione said before turning on her heel to go upstairs to her bedroom.
As per usual Ron and Harry roomed together in one of the bedrooms that had a balcony. They were sitting out in the chairs that were left there for such reasons looking at the pond that they had a great view of.
"Why do you think she hid this from us?" Ron asked after a while.
Harry shrugged. "Maybe it's because her family is a bunch of trained assassins and could kill us easily if we did anything to harm their only child. You heard her mother they paid people to stalk us. I'm surprised they didn't kill you after our fourth year." Harry told him casually.
"Do you think Hermione's ever killed anyone? She's a huge part of this whole thing even if she isn't officially a part of it." Ron said surprising Harry.
The thought of Hermione killing wasn't right to Harry; she couldn't possibly do something like that! She was Hermione Granger after all! But…apparently she went by a different last name and well they didn't know Hermione Sawda as well as they knew Hermione Granger.
From what Harry had picked up in the last few hours was that Hermione Sawda was adopted, had seven parents, was a daddy's girl by the way her fathers treated her, spoke three languages, and wasn't afraid to threaten her own papà…for all they knew she probably had killed someone before, and she had apparently spent a whole summer with one of the most dangerous parts of the mafia…
"I don't know Ron, but she's still Hermione so she probably hasn't." Not even Harry believed what he was saying. She probably had killed someone before, probably multiple people!
"For the mafia this is a pretty friendly place to be…" Ron said looking around; they had a nice view of the gardens, and if they tried hard enough they could see a group of eight laying near the pond and could just barely hear somebody shout what sounded like 'TO MAMA LUCE AND ARIA!' and then a loud drunken shout of 'aye!" and then giggles.
"Who do you think 'Mama Luce and Aria' are?" Harry asked watching as two of the eight got up and began to dance, they didn't seem to be a man and a woman dancing, more like two very drunk males who couldn't tell what they were doing at all. He suspected that Luce and Aria were deceased mothers since it was now midnight the holiday celebrating mothers had officially begun.
"They were beautiful woman from what we were told; Luce kept the Arcobaleno in their place and Aria was her daughter who died a few years back." A voice from above stated before the smell of cigarette smoke filled their noses.
The two wizards looked up and saw a man with shaggy silver hair and green eyes smoking. He was on the level above them and obviously had a patio in his bedroom as well. "You must be Ron and Harry." He said while exhaling the smoke. "Do me a favor and don't tell Hermione; she thought her mother and I quite ages ago."
"How long have you been up there listening to us?" Harry asked not even bothering to question how he knew their names.
The man shrugged and took another drag. "For a while, came out to make sure that the Arcobaleno don't drink their selves dead mourning Luce and Aria."
"The Arcobaleno, that Slytherin girl is a part of that right? Which one is she?" Ron asked looking at the eight figures that were in the garden.
Hayato pointed to the person that was holding up a bottle of something. "The smallest one sitting down; her name's Mammon, it's Italian for greed." He told them before pointing out the others. "The one with the giant hat is Yuni; she's the leader of the group and Luce's granddaughter, which means that Aria was her mother. The one with the fedora is Reborn, the guy sitting down with a notebook is Verde, the guy with the braid is Fon, the one that just got thrown into the pond is Skull, Chrome is going to be so pissed when she finds out they broke her fountain again, and the couple sitting by Mammon are Lal and Colonnello…and there you have it; the most powerful seven people in the universe drunk in our garden on Mama Appreciation Day like every other year."
"Isn't that bad, they obviously have a serious problem if they're getting drunk at this time of day!" Ron exclaimed.
Hayato shushed them. "Be quiet they have sharp ears. Trust me they do it because both of them could have drunken people under the table with their eyes closed." He snorted. "This is a tradition for them and they're usually sober before they have to do anything big so the Tenth lets it slide."
"Tenth," Both of them asked in confusion.
"The Tenth Vongola boss; Tsunayoshi Sawda; he's just gotten back from Alaska. He's nice enough to make sure that no one disturbs them or gives them trouble when they're having a hangover…you two should go to bed it's getting late and sooner or later jet lag is going to kick in." Hayato told them. Putting out his cigarette he looked down at them and smiled, actually smiled!
"Can you at least tell us your name?" Harry asked, he thought they deserved to know the name of the man they were speaking to.
"Hayato Gokudera," He said before slipping back into his bedroom to get some rest.
After that the two decided that they should probably listen to him and go to bed.
The next morning was rushed; they were all woken up by Hermione barging into their rooms shouting about getting ready and throwing things at them before leaving saying something about practicing for the end of the night.
There were voices outside who they all suspected to be the people to show them to the drawing room. There was the occasional laugh from the two.
Fred and George were outside talking to said people and the others had to admit that they were pretty brave.
"So you're like the second in command for this whole organization?" Fred asked.
"Familgia," The man corrected, "This is a familgia not an organization…and yes I'm Tenth's right hand man." Hayato said proudly.
Takeshi laughed; the other man was going to enjoy telling all of their daughters friends how great their boss was for the remainder of their stay. "Tsuna is pretty great." He added.
"Hey Stupidera, did you see I-Pin around here? She has our gift for Chrome." Lambo said jogging down the stairs. He had combed his hair out and was wearing one of his better suits.
Hayato rolled his eyes. "She was in Hermione's room the last time I checked." He said far too used to Lambo at this point to be annoyed by the nickname.
The teen groaned and turned around so that he could go back upstairs to Hermione's bedroom to be sure that his name was on their gift. They had gotten Chrome and Nana spa gift cards since the Vongola Spa was one of their favorite places to go when they needed a little alone time. The two of them had a system; I-Pin would find the best suitable gift and Lambo would buy it. It was a system that they've had for many years and it worked lovely so no one complained.
"What happens on Mama Appreciation Day?" George asked out of genuine curiosity. They had gotten an explanation last night but he was sure there was something they didn't know about.
"What did Hermione tell you?" Hayato asked curiously, she was bound to tell them something over dramatic so that they didn't want to come.
The twins' faces scrunched up in thought. "She said the loser 'dies'…" They said in unison.
Both of the men snorted laughter, she really did try to get them not to come.
"The loser gets bad luck until the day they die and the winner gets whatever they want. Someone became a king once." Takeshi said remembering what had been told to them their very first Mama Appreciation Day.
"So no one dies?" George asked just to be sure. He didn't want to die.
"Not usually, last year we were close though. Hayato's chemicals got a little too far out of control and our house in Austria got blown up." Takeshi said. "Skull was left in there because he was knocked out and Reborn 'forgot' to get him…but he's immortal so he was good."
"It isn't my fault I got distracted because somebody rearranged them while I was setting up!" Hayato glared at Takeshi as if he blamed him for it.
Takeshi held his hands out in surrender. "Lambo was the one who did it I swear." He said as if he'd been through this before.
"Anyway kid, it's a pretty fun day. The best part is saved for last though." Hayato said.
Kyoya came down the stairs two steps at a time. "I need to speak to one of your brothers." He said to Fred and George.
"Which one we got four." Fred and George said in their usual snark.
"The one who shouted at my daughter last night," Kyoya growled out. He didn't say anything last night because Chrome and Hermione would have gotten mad at him but both of them were busy getting ready so they wouldn't witness a single thing they didn't want to.
"He's in the room directly below mine." Hayato said without hesitation. He had heard everything last night from his bedroom but didn't think it was wise to burst out of his bedroom and tell the ginger off. He would have gotten called over dramatic by both women and sent back to his bedroom like a disobedient child.
Kyoya grunted and went straight to that bedroom; he went in without knocking and made sure that the two knew he was there and that they should be decent.
"What's his problem?" Fred asked.
"Over protective father, he's the one that scares off boys and strikes fear into the ones that do get by." Takeshi said without regret. The two of them had just sent one of the scariest people they knew after two defenseless teenage boys and they regretted nothing at all.
"They're going to die aren't they?" George questioned.
Both of them nodded, causing the twins to smile and say 'cool'.
Kyoya slammed the bedroom door closed and turned his gaze to both of them. "Both of you sit." He growled pointing to one of the beds in the bedroom.
Hastily they sat down and looked at the man that was pacing around their bedroom.
"I want to make things perfectly clear for you two. We don't have many rules in this household, which I find incredibly stupid, but one of those rules is to NOT shout at my daughter! I don't care what the reason is but we don't shout at Hermione. Of course that doesn't mean we don't get into random shouting matches or arguments, but shouting at her because she was doing something to protect you is a no." He said clearly so they understood. He wasn't going to let them get away with shouting at her; he loved her as much as the rest of them. "We have the resources to make both of you disappear if the chance arises and trust me if that happens no one will question why you're missing. If you think Hermione was wrong to not tell you about us then you're wrong because I assure you that we are the people you should truly be afraid of."
"She's our best friend she should have at least told us that she was adopted!" Harry shouted, which was probably a wrong idea since Kyoya looked like he was itching to punch him in the face now.
"Remember Kyoya, you can't hurt them or 'Mione will get mad." Takeshi shouted, which saved both of them.
"Did you ever bring it up?" Kyoya asked once he calmed himself down enough not to bite both of them to death.
"What?" They asked in confusion.
Kyoya sighed. "Did you ever ask her about her family? Ask her what part of England she was from? Did you ever think of asking what her home life was like? No matter how much she wanted to keep us from you she would have told you anything that you wanted to know about her…and let's face it; would you like to tell people about the six years you spent in an orphanage? She doesn't even tell us about it so you can understand that she doesn't like to tell people she's adopted." He hated that he had to explain to her friends why she didn't go on and on about her family like they probably did all the time. He himself didn't think that they were very good friends if Hermione was never once asked about her family but she would get mad at him if he decided that he wanted to 'get rid of' her friends.
"She told us that her parents were muggle dentists!" Ron objected.
"They are!" Kyoya said in exasperation. "Her birth parents are at least, it's the only thing she would let us tell her about them." He explained.
Harry and Ron frowned; technically she had told them about her family…just the wrong one…they hated to admit it but every year when school starts up again they would ask her one question about her family, the same old 'how are your parents' and they would get the same old smile and the same old 'fine' like they got every year…they were pretty bad friends…
"So tell me boys, what are we going to do from now on?" Kyoya asked with narrowed eyes.
"Ask more about Hermione's family." They said in shameful unison.
"And what were we not going to do?" He asked.
"Yell at her." They chimed.
"Good, now finish getting ready our reservation is at seven." Kyoya said before leaving.
The drawing room that they were all told to meet in was on the first floor, which took a while since there were many twists and turns and they kept running into people on their way. They met Ryohei, who was shouting about how extreme the day would be and talked to them all like they had been good friends for years.
The room itself was brightly decorated with two long couches, a love seat, and a recliner. They were all set up so that it was set up to be a box and in the middle of that box sat a coffee table. A china cabinet sat in the back across from a table that held four people that none of them knew yet…well they didn't know most of the people that were in the room.
Hermione was already in there, talking to a woman with long pink hair who was wearing yellow goggles. She was sitting on the floor at the feet of a man with spiky brown hair who was reading the newspaper. Hermione was dressed nicely like the rest of them; wearing a nice indigo dress that went to her knees with little beads made into skulls at the end. It was a sleeveless dress and it fitted her beautifully, like the dress she wore for the Yule Ball. They noticed that there were a few nicks and cuts on her that weren't there the day before but when asked about it she just smiled and said that it was from an accident while she was practicing for later that night.
"You look so pretty Hermione!" Ginny said running over to her best friend and playing with her hair, she made sure not to mess it up though since I-Pin was shooting her a look that said she had worked hard on her little sisters hair.
"Are you saying she doesn't often look pretty?" A man with even fluffier white hair and lavender eyes asked. He smiled and played with the hair of a woman with long blue hair and a clover birthmark/tattoo under her eye.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "She's just saying that I look nice Uncle." She told him.
"So is this the whole family?" Molly asked looking at all of the people that were in the room, there were so many people the room was almost overflowing with people. Hermione was quite right when she said that her families made them look like a family of two.
"Oh no, there's a bunch of other people but they're meeting us at the restaurant." The man with puffy brown hair said flipping a page in the newspaper. "The Arcobaleno and the Varia are too hung over to be here without trying to kill us." He said.
"Not to mention the CEDEF have the whole place booked privately just for us." Lambo said.
Another person, a male with blonde hair and a tattoo on his neck, snorted. "We need the space." He said.
"We're a big family." The man with puffy brown hair smiled.
The Weasley's, who were tired of standing, sat around them and spoke quietly to the others. They were all getting along quite nicely.
"Daddy, how many other people are we waiting for?" Hermione asked the man who she sat next to her.
Tsuna looked around the room and counted, "Just your mother and your aunts." He said putting the newspaper down finally.
"Those troublesome women should just hurt up already!" Hayato groaned hitting his head repeatedly on the coffee table.
Tsuna flicked him. "Go-chan, don't do that it won't get them downstairs any quicker." He said in a chastising voice. The newcomers had to admit for a thirty year old mafia boss he was pretty adorable.
"Daddy, no flicking Dad." Hermione said to both of them like she went through on a daily basis with those two. "And Pa no more sending pictures of pineapple farms to papà!" She said sending Ryohei a look that said she knew what he did.
Ryohei looked proud of himself, not many people got away with sending pictures of pineapples to Mukuro and lived to tell the tale. "I'm going to keep sending him the picture when I'm pissed at him." He told Bill, who was next to him.
Bill laughed; they had a funny way of showing their love. "So how long ago did you adopt Hermione?" He asked looking at Tsuna, who they all knew now to be the person who was legally her father.
"Almost ten years, we adopted her a bit after her sixth birthday." A proud Tsuna said looking down at the girl at his feet who was happily chatting with her uncle Chikusa about a book the two of them had read.
Molly sat up straighter and turned to Tsuna, who she thought was too precious to be a Mafia boss. "Where did you find her? I mean you live here in Italy and I assume that you have for a while, so why a child from England?" She smiled at Hermione to show that she didn't mean for it to sound harsh.
Tsuna blushed deeply; it was an embarrassing thing to talk about. The story of how they adopted Hermione was one of their strangest so far. "Well you see it all started when I felt that I was ready to be a father, I wasn't in a relationship and getting a stranger pregnant was something that I wouldn't do so I was very upset about that…until one day when I decided that I didn't want to do my paperwork and I found an article saying that Hermione's orphanage was going to be shut down because of lack of funds and there were only four more children there…and well Chrome saw me looking at it and all but demanded that we go to England and adopt her…so that's how Chrome and I are her legal parents…" He said before avoiding the looks that his family and friends were giving him.
"He left out the part where they lied to Sister Catherine about what they did for a living, said they ran a top secret organization that they couldn't talk about…and that is how the Mafia lied to a nun and adopted a witch!" Hermione told them with a large smile on her face. She was swatted on the head with Tsuna's rolled up newspaper.
"No hitting Tsuna!" Someone called out, which earned a laugh from most of the room.
"How did that go for you guys? Finding out Hermione was a witch I mean." Harry said quickly. He was curious since they all seemed to be muggle. He remembered hearing a few stories about muggleborn parents' flipping out when they found out that their child was a witch/wizard but she had never told them her parents' reactions.
Hermione's parents and family just shrugged. They were all pretty abnormal so the fact that Hermione was a witch was never something they cared about. Sure they kept it from most Famaliga's, for obvious reasons, but other than that it wasn't anything important to them…
"It wasn't a big deal to us; we figured it out when she was ten years old, she got too scared of something that happened and when the 'bad things', as she liked to call them, suddenly disappeared we called in Viper, who is our go to person for things like this and she figured that she was a witch…her flame is Mist, but we didn't think that she would be a witch…" Tsuna said casually, honestly they would have loved her either way.
"It's the reason no one else wanted to adopt me, I was always so nervous that something would happen and apparently random grandfather clocks busting scared people." Hermione said before reaching over to grab a grape that was on a plate on the coffee table. She turned her attention to Fred and George, "How did you two know about Papa?" She asked curiously.
The two looked away, they didn't want their mum to know…"Well we were in Knockturn Alley once, and we saw his wanted poster…" They said.
"You told me that you took care of those wanted posters Mukuro!" Tsuna said eying the duel eyed man, who was sitting at a table with Kyoya of all people; the two were having an arm wrestling match that no one seemed to pay attention to.
Mukuro looked bored, "I thought I got all of them, one or two wanted posters isn't a big deal Tsunayoshi." He said blandly.
"Papa, we've been over why you aren't allowed to have wanted posters anymore!" Hermione said before turning to the confused witches and wizards. "He took me to a normal person shop one time when I was eight and someone noticed him so we had to flee the country."
"What were you two doing in Knockturn Alley? I told you a million times to stay out of there!" Molly nearly shouted at Fred and George.
"We were just looking mum! We didn't go in any stores we just strolled in for a minute or two and saw the wanted poster! We thought you looked very dashing sir." Fred said to Mukuro.
Mukuro smiled. "Thanks, I told you I took good pictures Kyoya!" He said to the man he was currently beating at an arm wrestling match.
Kyoya glared at him and decided that he wanted the match to end pinned Mukuro's arm down and checked his phone. "They're coming, everybody get ready to go or we will be late." He told them standing up from his spot at the table.
"How do you know?" Ron asked almost rudely, he wasn't that happy that they had gotten yelled at by him earlier but he did kind of deserve it.
Kyoya held up his phone. "This," He said like it was obvious.
"I told you to play nice, now everyone get ready they should be down any minute." Hermione said standing up and motioning for the others to do so as well.
Dino smiled and jumped up out of his seat only to fall down again. "This is going to be the best day ever!" He exclaimed from the ground.
Everyone rolled their eyes but made no motion to help him up, it was Dino after all they figured that sooner or later Romario would come in and he would go back to awesome Dino mode.
"Aren't you going to help your Uncle up?" Ron asked curiously when Hermione simply walked around him to get to the door.
Hermione shook her head. "Nope," She said popping the 'P', "its revenge for him beating me." She said shooting him a look that said he knew she didn't like to be beaten.
Dino groaned and simply stayed on the floor, he didn't want to get up to be honest. The floor was nice and it smelt like coffee so he was okay with it. "That was two years ago!"
"I don't care you still beat me!" Hermione shouted back.
All of Hermione's parents rolled their eyes. "It was just Monopoly 'Mione!" They all exclaimed in exasperation. She was far too competitive when it came to board games.
"I still lost dammit!" She shouted causing Yuni to pat her on the head and tell her that it would be okay and that she really should just let it go since it was two years ago.
Ron looked at the blue haired woman curiously; her hat looked familiar from somewhere… "You were there last night getting drunk." He said after a little bit of awkward staring.
Yuni blinked at him before asking what he meant. "Excuse me?" She asked.
"Last night in the garden, you and a bunch of other people were getting drunk…but you're here now acting as if you weren't drunk last night…" Harry said slowly.
The older woman laughed. "Oh sweetie I didn't drink that much last night. One of us had to be sober." She said with a smile.
They nodded in understanding before turning to Hermione. "So where are we going?" They asked her while she made sure that everyone was dressed properly and no one had decided to fall asleep like they often did.
"Special place, family owned. Anyone can go in but it's closed for the day." Hermione said before rushing over to her Uncle Enma, who had tripped over Crookshanks like usual. "I'm so sorry Uncle; I'll go put him outside…" She said picking up the grumpy cat that all but adored her Mama and her Papa. She opened the door that was in the back of the room and set him down on the pavement.
Chrome and the rest of Hermione's aunts were waiting for them at the staircase, quietly talking and on occasion giggling about something. They all kissed Chrome on the cheek.
"I'm sorry it took so long, I have a little trouble getting up before twelve." Chrome said, adjusting her eye patch so it fit more comfortably on her.
Once they were introduced to Kyoko and Haru they were divided into cars that would take them to the restaurant. Hermione managed to get Ron and Harry into the car with the rest of her parents and siblings while the others all chose who they wanted to be seated with and headed out.
Woot! Very long chapter this one! I hope you guys like it. It'll be getting to the actual Mother's day celebration the next chapter I swear. If I'm not flooded with homework next week then chapter five will be up before the weekend!
