We're actually getting to the actual good stuff! And hey, if you guys are curious about anything just PM about it.
I apologize for it taking so long but it's harder than you think it is to make each chapter a thousand words more than the last…and I've had a lot of homework lately that needed to be taken care of.
I don't own Harry Potter or Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
"Your dress is pretty Ma'am." Harry said awkwardly to Chrome, who was sitting across from him in the car between Mukuro and Kyoya.
Chrome smiled and smoothed down the skirt of her dress. "Thank you very much Harry, it's one of my favorites." She told him.
"You look lovely Mother." Hermione said. She was leaning against Ron with her legs on Lambo's lap while he talked to Hayato about something in a different language.
"Thank you baby girl, you look beautiful as well. What happened to your cheek darling?" Chrome asked finally noticing the long cut on her daughter's cheek that was partly hidden by makeup.
Hermione waved her mother off. "Oh Crookshanks and Uri got into a fight again and while I was trying to separate them one of them scratched me." She lied casually. She didn't like lying to her mother, but it saved her dad from getting yelled at so she went with it.
Chrome hummed and looked at her phone; she'd been in contact with Viper most of the morning. "The Varia just got to the restaurant as well as a few others." She told Tsuna with a bright smile.
"Iemitsu is already there with Mama." Tsuna said causing the others to make a face at the mention of the man.
Mukuro groaned, "Must that man come every year?" He asked in a whine.
Tsuna sighed, he hated his father as much as the rest of them did but he had started showing up to little things lately, like large family dinners and Vongolian holidays; but that was it. "As much as we all hate him he's still part of the family and he's going to show up at family events." He told them.
"Oh yeah, he shows up to a few family event and all of a sudden he's the best Granddad in the world." Hermione scoffed blowing her bangs out of her face.
"Behave yourself today 'Mione, no sarcasm or saying mean things in a different language; that goes for all of you." Tsuna said shooting his family a look.
The car stopped and they all looked out the window to see a small, but relatively big, white building with flowers all around. The sign read 'Closed for the Day' in Italian and English.
"I don't see the point of us behaving; the Varia and the Arcobaleno are here!" Mukuro complained when they piled out of the car, Chrome obviously went first.
"We're sitting next to Viper and Fran." Hermione told Ron and Harry. "Don't listen to a word that Fran says he's a little shit but he means well…some of the time…" She said.
"Did you just curse?" Ron asked, bewildered at the idea of Hermione cursing. It was sort of attractive actually, she was always trying so hard at school to not curse and here she was doing anything but that! This Hermione might be slightly rude, and just a little mean, but she was bolder while with her family and it was a quality that he thought fit her better than the way she acted at school.
"She does that a lot when she's with the Varia; just being in the same area as them gets her drinking and swearing." Hayato teased.
Hermione blushed. "I do not drink!" She said shyly.
"Yes she does, she just doesn't like saying it because she's underage by two years and do not give me that face Sawda you should know that if you let your daughter over to the Varia we are going to let her drink." A girl at the entrance drawled out. She was wearing a suit with a little cape around her shoulders; her hair was braided down to the small of her back and a top hat that had a thick indigo strap around it.
Tsuna sighed and Hermione sped up to talk to her very first actual friend. Of course Ron and Harry were her first friends but when Hermione first moved in Viper was the first one who she didn't have to address to as Big Brother or Big Sister who became her first mafia friend. It was a totally different thing.
"You look gorgeous Hermione; I see you brought the ginger batch group." Viper said looking at the Weasley's. "And Potter, look at you out with normal people!" She said in a fake coo at the sight of them all.
"Hey Esper," Ginny said. She was far too used to the Slytherin's attitude. She had actually had a few conversations with Viper before.
Viper linked her arms with Hermione. "I'm taking her for a little bit." She told them.
"Ron and Harry are sitting with us." Hermione told her, causing Viper to shriek and glare at the two.
"You two better not ruin our plan!" She hissed before stomping off.
"What plan is that?" Fred asked curiously. Slytherin's were all bad right, and if Hermione was close to one of them she had obviously been corrupted at a young age.
Hermione smiled. "It's a tradition of ours to go over to the lake and have one night of complete and utter craziness."
"And it's just the three of you?" Ron asked.
Hermione nodded and held the door open for everyone. "Well we're all around the same age and we all have the same attribute so on occasion we're allowed nights to ourselves."
"So what you're saying is that once a year you and two other girls go down to the lake and be crazy for a whole night?" George asked hopefully.
"Fran is a guy, we for some reason trust our only daughter alone with him for a whole night." Mukuro growled in annoyance.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him; honestly she didn't see the big deal. Fran was completely asexual so there was nothing to worry about. "Go inside papà, you're scaring the little old woman across the street." She told him.
"Good, let her be afraid!" Mukuro laughed earning a very odd look from the old woman across the street.
"So are you guys ready to have fun?" Tsuna asked Molly and Arthur when everyone was inside the building and socializing. he figured that he should try to be friends with his daughters best friends parents and talking to them was a great place to begin.
Arthur smiled. "Yes, it's a beautiful place. How many people are there here exactly?" He asked looking around. He'd never been around this many muggle's in his life!
Tsuna made a face. "Well considering it's about four Famaliga's, you guys, my parents, the CEDEF pretend that they're not there but they are so there are them…so maybe seventy or eighty…" He said, "At most it would be a hundred."
"And all of these people are here to celebrate your version of Mother's Day?" Molly asked in amazement.
The younger male nodded. "Yes that's the gist of this day. Of course we added a spot at the mother's table for you Molly." He smiled and pointed to a table in the front of the room. There weren't that many seats, only ten.
"So there are ten mothers here, out of all these people?" Molly asked looking around.
"One of them is pregnant as it is, and we left a few chairs open for the mothers that are dead; out of respect." He explained. "So there's a chair for Hayato's mother, as well as Takeshi's, Harry's mother, Enma's mother, and Yuni's mother and grandmother."
"You left a chair open for Lily?" Molly asked tears welling up in her eyes. It was one of the sweetest things that she had ever heard in her life!
Tsuna nodded like it was an obvious thing. "Of course, she was only a mother for a little while but she still deserves to be honored in a celebration of mother's."
"Did you tell Harry?" Arthur asked.
Tsuna shook his head no. "We haven't even told Hermione yet." He said with a huge smile. He always loved surprises as long as they were good.
"What about Hermione's mother? Her biological mother that is," Arthur said quickly.
Something in his eyes changed, they weren't shining with excitement for the day; no they were cold and full of loathing. "She isn't a mother; she gave her child up as a baby with a note saying that she wasn't worth the time and therefor doesn't deserve to be celebrated." Tsuna said rather stiffly. He turned around and grabbed two champagne glasses that were filled with juice. "Enjoy the party, there's going to be a part two tonight so please enjoy the version of it that won't involve drunken people."
Molly and Arthur weren't sure if he was serious or not but considering the large bottle of wine at each table it was highly plausible that most of these people would be drunk before noon.
"I have to go check on the Varia, please have fun!" He said quickly before he ran off to make sure none of them were doing anything stupid.
"So you're a martial artist?" Charlie asked Fon curiously while they watched Viper and Mukuro shout at each other about god only knows what.
Fon nodded and sipped at his tea. "Yes the best one in the world to be exact…but I don't like to brag about it, I'm also Kyoya's uncle but he doesn't talk about it much." He said looking over at his nephew fondly. Hermione had gotten him to dance with her and so they were waltzing to a song that shouldn't be waltzed to.
"You're only what, fifteen?" Charlie questioned.
"Sixteen actually," Fon said before leaving to speak with Reborn.
Harry stared awkwardly at Viper; she was sitting across from him with a male a bit older than them with green hair and a giant frog hat on her right and at her left a blond man wearing a crown whose hair covered half of his face. She looked like she was plotting his death at the very minute.
"Do you know why I hate you Potter?" She asked finally tipping her top hat down to cover her eyes.
Harry shook his head no; he honestly had no idea what he had even done to her. This was his second time speaking to her at all actually so he really couldn't think of anything he had done to anger her...
"You have all this money and what do you do with it? You spend it on stupid things like school books, and candy, and your stupid robes! Do you even know how much money your family has? And you don't even use any of it for bets, bets that I could make a profit out of!" Viper ranted on, her voice slowly getting louder as she continued.
The blond man laughed wickedly, his head tilted back and his perfect white teeth exposed to them all. "Ushishishi, you should just give the Princess some money peasant; she's been trying to get it out of you for the last four years."
"Don't give Mammon the money; she's already greedy enough." Fran said in his usual monotone as he took a sip of his apple juice…he didn't even like apple juice so he had no idea why he was drinking it…
Not knowing what to do Harry searched for Hermione or one of her parents, but all he found was a blue haired woman wearing a suit. He remembered her as one of the people from the night before. So he did the most reasonable thing he could think of and asked her what to do.
She laughed in his face and told him that it wasn't her problem if Mammon had decided that he was to be her next victim. "Listen," She began, "I've known Viper for years and the best thing to do is just give her all the money in your wallet and make sure that she doesn't take anything really important in there." She told him before going back to her conversation with who Harry believed to be her husband even though he only looked sixteen and her in her mid-twenties.
"Find Hermione, she'll handle it." Her husband had told him when she decided that she was through speaking with him.
Harry looked around for her; she was with Tsuna talking to a large, scary, looking man with scars on his face. She apparently wasn't scared of him like a few others were. Harry didn't want to go all the way over there just to ask Hermione about her Aunt Viper…but it was the only thing he could do…
As he got closer he noticed that they were speaking in a different language, laughing on occasion before saying something in the harsh language that was Russian.
"Umm Hermione," Harry said awkwardly tapping her on the shoulder.
She turned around and smiled when she noticed who it was. "Harry, what do you need?" She asked curiously.
"Your Aunt Viper wants money…I have no idea what to do…" He said honestly.
Both of the men with her groaned, of course she wanted money. "Just give her ten dollars and she'll be happy." The two said.
"I don't have money on me…" Harry said awkwardly.
Hermione dug into her purse and gave him a crisp ten dollar bill. "Tell her it's from me and that if she wants any more money she's going to have to wait till it's not a holiday." She said speaking like Viper was a problem she had to deal with all the time.
Harry nodded, speechless, and went back over to their table. He quietly set the bill down in front of Viper and looked down at her. "Hermione said you weren't allowed to ask for money again until it's not a holiday." He told her.
Viper took the bill and hid it. "You still have to give me money; this is Hermione's not yours." She said with a smirk before bringing her glass of strawberry milk to her lips. "You should go socialize with people who actually want to talk to you…so anyone but me." She waved him off before turning to Belphegor. "I demand that you get me something to eat."
The Prince didn't look amused, but it was Mammon after all and he did have a soft spot for the Mist user. Grumbling under his breath he stood up and went to get Mammon some food.
Not knowing what to do Harry left the table that Hermione was making them sit at and went to see if he could make any friends. He wasn't really sure what he was going to do since most of them were much older than him and seemed to be doing something else. It seemed rude to go up and make himself apart of someone else's conversation, especially since he didn't know anyone, but surely he would find someone who wasn't talking to anyone…
And then he saw that there was a male with big green hair sitting alone at a table taking notes. Surely he's got to be a little lonely…so he sat down next to the man that looked like he was about to kill him…
"Harry Potter," He said nicely.
The man scoffed. "I know who you are brat." He said never looking up from his notes. "Hermione told me about you when she came home her first year."
"Oh…" Harry said awkwardly. "I didn't think she talked about us." He seemed almost proud.
"Oddly enough she speaks of you lot fondly. I have no idea why it must be a British thing." Verde said blandly. "Tell me, how do you feel about Mother's Day?" He asked.
Harry shrugged. "I don't care for it. I mean back at home I wasn't allowed to celebrate it with them so it was never anything to me."
"Yet they set a chair for your mother." Verde said pointing to the chairs.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked in confusion.
"That large table is for mothers, there are ten. Only three of them are actually alive, and one of them is pregnant; the others are for the ones that have passed." Verde explained.
"So they set a chair for my mother?" He asked unsure of what was going on.
Verde nodded, "Tsunayoshi thought it would be a pleasant surprise for you." He shrugged.
"It's certainly a nice surprise." Harry said; he couldn't believe Hermione didn't tell him about this. "Should I thank her?"
Verde shrugged, "None of this matters to me, Yuni and Chrome dragged me here because I'm apparently part of the family…" He stopped taking notes momentarily to take a bite of the eggs that someone had put in front of him.
"You mean you don't feel like you belong here?" Harry asked.
"I don't like being near people; this was forced upon me like every other 'family gathering'." He said with an eye roll.
"So you just don't like your own family?"
"Not particularly, I mean my lab is much better than this." The (Mad) Scientist stated.
"Lab, are you a scientist?" Harry asked almost ecstatically. He was always pretty good at Science when he was in Muggle schools.
Verde looked at Harry, then down to his lab coat, and then back to Harry again as if the lab coat explained everything that someone needed to know about him. "Obviously," He said bluntly before returning to his notes.
"So then how do you fit into this whole Mafia thing?" Harry inquired curiously. He had never heard of a scientist being in the Mafia. All he actually knew about the Mafia is what he got from the stupid movies that the Dursley's watched and the few things he had learned from Hermione's family so far. He doubted that anything that happened in the movies actually happened now actually…
"I make things, violent things, and Famaliga's buy them from me. And if they steal anything from me then the Arcobaleno handles it accordingly." Verde said.
"He means we kill them and take it back." A man with a fedora said slipping into the seat across from Harry. "It's my favorite part of the job."
"So you enjoy killing people?"
"No one should enjoy killing, it's a horrible thing to do." Tsuna said sitting down next to them as well. He handed Harry and Verde champagne glasses filled with some type of red juice.
"Yet we would do it in a heartbeat to save those we love." Reborn mused looking over at Yuni; she was one of the few people he would openly say that he loved.
Tsuna busied himself with rearranging the indigo flowers on the table. "Yes well, we would all do something a little drastic to save those we loved." His eyes flashed over to a few people in the room, his loved ones, Hermione, and then to the couple that Harry had talked to earlier.
"My parents died trying to protect me…" Harry told them even though he was sure they already knew everything, probably even more than he did.
"They were brave people Harry…I would like to speak to you privately later if you don't mind; maybe when we get back to the house I could show you my office." He smiled to tell Harry that it was meant to be a friendly conversation and that he in no way was going to threaten him.
"Daddy, can you help me with something? Enzo is being annoying again." Hermione complained walking over to them, her heels were off and her hair was already taken out of the braid she had it in. There was a boy, about their age, following her like a lost puppy.
Tsuna and Reborn snorted, Verde looked unamused, and Harry was just plain out confused; was this guy her boyfriend or something?
He was tall, much taller than Harry was, with tan Italian skin, pale green eyes, and a head of thick brown curls. He was a good looking male; Harry understood completely why Hermione would date someone like him.
"What do you expect; you haven't come to visit him in a while of course he's going to bug you the whole time you're home." Tsuna said opening his arms for a hug. Hermione groaned and sat in his lap over dramatically.
"I was just asking if she wanted to go out tomorrow and she told me to drop dead." The boy who Harry presumed to be Enzo said faking hurt.
Hermione gave him an unamused look. "I told you that I wouldn't go out with you even if my life depended on it." She told him.
Reborn laughed at the hurt look on Enzo's face. "I told you she wasn't interested in you kid." He told him.
"I'm a year older than you are Reborn!" Enzo complained sitting down in the only open chair left. "Are you going to introduce me to your friends or not 'Mione?" He asked looking at Harry like he was a big chunk of meat.
"I rather my friends nowhere near you." Hermione said coldly before looking over at Harry. "Ignore him Harry."
"Is he your boyfriend?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Enzo said quickly.
"No." Hermione said blandly. "He wishes we were dating."
Tsuna smiled, it was an argument that he's been hearing for years now. "He's an associate of ours, close family friend."
"'Mione and I are orphan buddies." Enzo told them.
"So you two were in the same orphanage together?" Harry asked hoping that this time he was right. It was kind of weird, not knowing anything about the group of people he was here with…
Hermione and Enzo shook their heads. "No, we're both just orphans." They said in unison before fist bumping as if they were in some secret club.
Reborn stood up; he was getting bored of these guys. "Well I'm going to go, gotta find the happy mothers of this day." He said.
Tsuna smirked. "You just want to find Mama and tell her that this whole thing was your doing." He said knowingly.
Reborn snorted and covered his face with his fedora. "I would never do that Tsunayoshi."
"Yes he would." Hermione said to Harry.
"Says the girl that took all the credit for our gift to Tsuna last Christmas," Reborn snapped giving her a dirty look.
Hermione gave him a dirty look right back. "I was the one who came up with the idea!" She snarled back.
"You weren't even there; Viper and I totally should have taken the credit!" Reborn argued. The two were giving each other death glares at this point; something Harry had only seen Hermione do to certain people.
"Tsuna, calm your children before they start to give me a headache." Verde said glaring at the two of them.
Reborn and Hermione turned their glares to him; both of them had a very long mutual war going on with Verde. He didn't think that Hermione's magic was real and every time she tried to reason with him it ended with the two of them getting into a nasty fight and not speaking to each other for months, and Reborn; well Reborn and Verde just hated each other.
"Children behave, that goes for all three of you." Tsuna said giving the teens a look that said he never got tired of calling Verde and Reborn children even though they were really years older than him.
At that Reborn was one hundred percent done, he stormed off in the direction of Nana, who was with Lambo and I-Pin, and gave Tsuna the finger over his shoulder.
"Was that really called for?" Harry asked uncertainly, it seemed to him that Reborn was just a huge man baby…
Hermione smiled and took a sip of her Daddy's drink, "He's just a major drama queen, he's like Malfoy; but more of a pompous ass."
Tsuna cleared his throat and flicked Hermione on the arm. "I told you no profanities." He scolded. "It may be true young lady but you shouldn't be cursing."
"Sorry Daddy…comes on Harry, how about we go and talk to Mama, I'm sure she would love to talk to you." Hermione stated standing up and grabbing Harry by the arm.
Enzo stood up as well. "I'll come with; I haven't spoken to Chrome in a while." He explained casually like it was the only reason he wanted to come with.
Tsuna smiled at the three teens. "Okay, but just remember we're going home at twelve." He reminded them. Harry was kind of happy he said it, now he knew exactly how long this interesting celebration would go on for.
Hermione hummed to say that she understood before she directed them to where Chrome was sitting with Mukuro, Chikusa, and Ken.
"That sounds like a great idea Mukuro-sama; we could make a huge day of it!" Chrome was saying a little too excitedly when they got to them.
Hermione put her arms around her mother's neck and kissed her on the cheek. "What are you four planning?" She asked curiously, she really should know better than to ask what the Kokuyo Gang were planning but she was raised by two of them could you really blame her for wanting to be a tiny bit a part of what they were doing?
"Just a little gets together between the four of us, as well as Fran, Verde and M.M if they decide that they want to come along." Chrome smiled and kissed the girl's cheek.
"You know movies, alcohol, dancing, a little bit of trivia, and maybe some prank calls to your father Kufufufu." Mukuro explained. "The usual Kokuyo Gang sleepover,"
Harry tried to smile, but honestly the idea of the mafia having a sleepover was a bit terrifying to him. "Sounds like you have a fun day planned out." He commented awkwardly.
"I can smell your fear kid." Ken told him. "You should be afraid of us, very afraid." He smirked.
"Uncle Ken, when I was nine you told me that if small woodland creatures came up to me it was okay to take them in because they need love too dammit…and then you chased birds for half an hour…no one is terrified of you." Hermione told him earning a high five from Chikusa.
Ken glared, "Mukuro-sama your daughter is a jerk."
"I know; I raised this one well." Mukuro said proudly.
Ron ran up to the tables looking like a deer in the headlights; he had been looking for the two of them for a while. "Hermione, your…aunt….Lussuria has been following me all day…help…" He squeaked out before hiding under the table quickly when Lussuria frolicked passed them.
"You wouldn't believe he's responsible for the death of many…" Chrome said with a chuckle while Mukuro moved his feet around just so he could kick Ron under the table.
"We should probably have told Lussuria he couldn't touch any of the gingers…he does like gingers…" Mukuro said with a chuckle.
Hermione ducked her head under the table and smiled at Ron. "And now you know another reason why I kept you guys away from my family," She told him just a bit smugly before standing up straight. "I'm going to go have a chat with Luss-ne about boundaries and the concept of how some people, mostly those who don't know about the mafia, are actually being heterosexual." She huffed before going off in the direction of the flamboyant male shouting for him to come here in Italian.
Ron slowly came out from under the table and sat down in the empty seat next to Harry. "Does that mean that you all are….you know…gay…?" He asked uncomfortably.
The three adults laughed at him. "No you fool…we all just have gay tendencies…"
"Except a few of us are actually hella gay…like Squalo and Xanxus…those two are hella gay…" Chrome said looking at the two in question.
"I'm sorry but what does 'hella' mean?" Harry asked. He suspected it was some weird Italian thing…
"Hella is a term that Mukuro-sama and Chrome use instead of the word very." Chikusa said taking out his yoyo's to play with them out of complete and utter boredom.
"Believe it was Shakespeare who used it first." Enzo added in.
Ron looked at Enzo for the first time, surprised that he hadn't noticed the other male before now. "Who the bloody hell are you?" He asked.
"Enzo, Hermione's boyfriend," The teen said holding his hand out to him.
"He isn't dating her, we've been over this Enzo; you aren't that lucky." Mukuro commented throwing multiple fruit cubes at the teens head. "You wouldn't even live a day after dating our baby girl."
"What about Victor Krum, the two of them seemed to be close last year…?" Ron said angrily.
Mukuro, Chrome and Enzo looked like they wanted to kill Ron, and honestly it was the first time Harry had seen anyone get angry at the mention of Victor Krum other than Ron himself.
"We don't speak of that man, he's been warned and that was that." Chrome said slamming her glass down a little too forcefully as it broke when it hit the white table cloth.
Chikusa rolled his yoyo back up. "Let's just put this simply, we made sure that he got the picture that he wasn't wanted."
"Yes, my family is great at scaring away any chance of me being friends with anyone of the opposite gender." Hermione said sarcastically walking back over to them.
Hayato interrupted them before a fight could break out at the table. "Ladies and gentlemen it's time for our meal to actually begin so could everyone have a seat at their assigned tables we can begin." He smiled largely at them before the rush for everyone to get to their tables started.
Hermione kissed her mother on the cheek before she motioned for Ron and Harry to follow her back to their table where Fran and Viper still were. "The cooks prepared each of us different meals so we kind of need to sit at our actual seats so no one get upset about their food…we're picky people…" She explained.
"It's really weird seeing Mirch up there…" Viper told Hermione when they sat down. "Why is she up there again, she's still pregnant."
"Because she takes care of Basil and he considers her his mother figure, kora." Colonnello said from the table across from them.
"So what are we expecting to happen…?" Ron asked curiously while a bunch of waiters rushed around to give everyone their meals.
"We eat, tell stories, and then we tell our mothers how much we love them and when that's over we go home." Hermione told him eyeing Verde, who was being forced to set up a microphone for the 'story time.'
Again guys I'm really sorry it took me so long to update and hopefully it doesn't take that long to get chapter six up…though it probably won't be 6K words since that is a lot of words and I do have other things to write.
