Chapter 11: Good Pirate, Bad Pirate
Justin walked up to Haru, and gave him a box… it was a very large box.
"What this?" asked Haru.
"I told my parents about how you saved my life at the Dueling Club." Said Justin, "I also mentioned that you really liked to eat and your favorite food was different kinds of meat."
"Thank you so much!" yelled Haru, "I was just doing what comes natural."
"How is flinging a cobra into a wall be natural?" asked Justin who was honestly confused about that one.
"My aunt Marigold taught me how to handle poisonous snakes when I was 6…" said Haru.
"Why would your aunt teach you how to deal with poisonous snakes?" asked Justin.
"It's a long, complicated story." Sighed Haru, "But to boil it down… my aunt ate a Devil Fruit that turns her into a giant king cobra."
"Oh… wow…" said Justin, then realized something, "She's your mom's sister isn't she?"
"I guess you figured that since my mom's people worshiped snakes." Laughed Haru, who then turned away and said darkly, "My mom's sisters were just lucky that they got Snake devil fruits."
Justin blinked realizing it was a very touchy subject.
"There's also some dry ice in there to keep the meat cold, I can show you a way to have fun with it." Said Justin.
"Okay! Sounds like fun!" said Haru.
After giving Sanji the meat (as Haru wasn't allowed in the fridge… like most of the crew), the two had fun hot water onto the dry ice.
Sometime later… Haru and Ron were walking.
"So you created clean smoke using muggle methods?" asked Ron.
"Sorry for not telling you, it was a spur of the moment type thing." Said Haru.
That's when they saw it. Two more victims… Justin and Nearly Headless Nick! Both were petrified! Nearly Headless Nick was turned black almost like was burned.
"This isn't good." Said Haru, "I'll be right back."
Haru created a portal, a few minutes later he came out of the portal with several teachers and the Straw Hats.
"Thank you Haru telling us about it." Said Dumbledore.
"No problem." Sighed Haru, "I was just becoming friends with him too."
"It's okay, he'll be fine." Said Luffy.
"I know…" sighed Haru.
"Oh and about his gift…." Said Luffy, "I know this isn't the time."
"No dad! That's my meat!" yelled Haru.
Nami whacked both on the head.
"Now's not the time." Said Nami.
The teachers took Justin, while Perona took the petrified ghost, while everyone wondered how did a ghost become petrified.
Later in the Great Hall, Haru was talking to Justin's two best friends Hannah and Ernie, as well Ron and Hermione.
"Don't worry Haru, no one's blaming you." Said Hannah.
"I know." Said Haru, "It's just that I was just becoming friends with him and with Zoro…"
"At least no one is suspecting you right?" asked Ron.
"Yeah, I bet if another series of events happened I bet I would have been the top suspect." Said Haru.
"So you think it's true about Draco?" asked Ernie.
That when funk music that began to play and they turned to Hina and Maya entered the scene playing a tone dial.
"What was that entrance?" asked Hermione.
"I don't know… I just wanted to enter that way." Said Hina with a shrug.
"So you came up with one?" asked Haru.
"Yes it's rather simple. Good cop, bad cop." Said Hina.
"Good cop, bad cop?" asked Ron, Ernie and Hannah.
"Yes, it's an integration technique where one person takes on a more kinder role." Said Maya.
"While the other is a loose cannon with nothing left to live for." Said Hina.
"You have a lot to live for." Said Ron.
"That may be… but that's still not going to prevent me from being the bad cop." Said Hina.
"We're also going to record if a tone dial incase anyone wants to listen." Said Maya.
"Let's go." Said Hina.
Maya nodded… and the two left.
There was an awkward silence.
"Is it okay to feel a little sorry for Malfoy?" asked Hannah.
"That's okay… I feel sorry for him too." Said Haru.
Sometime later, Draco was walking the hallways alone. He sighed.
"Why won't that girl just leave me alone?" he thought.
Just when Hinagiku (as he called her) was just starting to leave him alone Nojiko began to torment him with new moves she learned from her father.
That was when someone threw a sack over his head and began to drag him away.
"Not again." He thought, he knew it wasn't good as the last time this happened was for that intervention to get Hinagiku off chocolate. While he was being forced, he felt his arms being bound by very strong vines…
When the bag came off, he saw it was Hina and Maya. It was dimly lit abandoned classroom and he was sitting at a table.
"What do you want with me?" asked Draco.
"We just wanted to talk… see what's going on." Said Maya.
"What do you mean?" asked Draco.
"We want answers now!" shouted Hina banging on a table.
"Calm down Hina…" said Maya, "We just want to know if you know who the heir of Slytherin was."
"You're the one aren't you!" shouted Hina.
"No I'm not!" yelled Draco.
"You're a liar!" shouted Hina, "After all there's nothing better than taunting "mudbloods" am I right? So you decided to find a way… right? You found a way to get to them."
"What? No!" shouted Draco.
"So what about what happened he first time." Said Maya, "The first time this had happened was years ago… was it your father that did it?"
"No… my father wasn't even born yet. I swear! I'm not the heir! I swear!" cried Draco, "It happened in the 1940's… my father wasn't even born until 1954! I swear!"
Maya having a sort of 6th sense of people telling the truth or lying sighed heavily. "I believe you…"
"Damn it!" yelled Hina kicking a nearby chair.
Hina snapped her fingers and the vines holding Draco's arms shivered up.
"I trust Maya's judgment… but I don't trust you… if you have any leads…" said Hina, "Tell me or someone will kick your ass!"
Draco nodded and ran out of the room.
"I hope something like this happens again." Said Hina.
"It was kind of fun." Laughed Maya.
Sometime later, Hina and Maya gave Haru the Dial so he and friends could listen to it.
"So looks like we're out of leads." Sighed Haru.
"Hopefully nothing bad will happen for a while." Said Hina.
"I guess." Said Haru.
"Who knows… maybe the attacks will stop for some reason." Said Maya.
Meanwhile, Ginny was crying, she stared at her diary… she had finally figured out the truth about the diary and she was scared. She had to figure out what to do… after all she didn't want anyone else to get hurt… She now knew what was behind the attacks… and she was very scared…
