Disclaimer: I do not own neither NCIS nor Harry Potter.
A/N: Okay, people it's just a filler chapter, nothing much going on, but it had to be written. And I just have to remind you, that the team doesn't know Jackson in this fic – it's all happening during Jenny's time as a director.
Thank you all for the reviews. I love you guys.
The chapter is dedicated to Lover of Sorrow, for an amazing insight and making Severus come back. Thanks.
CHAPTER 6 – A MAN, INTERRUPTED
"Uh," Harry quickly covered his chest in vain attempt of finding a solution to this situation. "I can explain."
"Of course you can." Tony stated matter-of-factly. "What, I just imagined it? Or it was an image from a projector? Or maybe-" Tony paused and smiled widely. "Maybe you're a wizard with a magical tattoo."
Harry's jaw hit the floor.
"You realize what it means that I can see it move, don't you?" Tony was in full agent DiNozzo mode, and Harry felt a little like he was being interrogated. Only after a moment Tony's words registered in his mind.
"You-" Harry looked at him suspiciously. "You're a wizard."
Instead of answering Tony waved his hand, causing a huge box of pizza to appear out of nowhere. Harry couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, that explains a lot."
Tony smiled a hundred volt smile that made Harry's knees go all wobbly. He put the pizza box on the table and opened it eagerly.
"You look like a child opening a Christmas present." Harry stated and reached out to pick a slice. Tony immediately swatted his hand.
"First – you said something about a drink?" He asked and looked at Harry hopefully. Harry laughed again, but his laughter tailed off when he looked into Tony's green eyes. He had never known that a person can look at someone with such intensity, it almost made him dizzy. Suddenly, he found himself out of breath, as if the whole air just disappeared. He could smell the musky cologne and only the weird tingling in his hand alerted him to the fact that Tony's palm still rested on his. The soft breath on his cheek made Harry look up and in the next second Tony's lips were so close, that, Harry was sure of it, the breath he took was the same Tony has just exhaled. The warmth Tony radiated was addicting and Harry leaned closer. The senior agent licked his lips and Harry could almost feel his tongue, he wanted to feel it, taste it…
"Raven, are you there?" A loud voice made them both jump apart.
"Bill?" Harry asked, his voice a little hoarse. "What are you doing here?"
"Well you said I can come and visit, and your floo was open so I-" Bill came into view and stopped at the sight of Tony. "I obviously interrupted something." He said bitterly.
Harry neither denied nor confirmed and so the room filled with an almost tangible tension.
"I- uh, maybe I should go." Tony offered and made a move to stand up.
"Sit." Harry pushed him back down. "I need a word in private with Bill, and we'll be here in a minute." He grabbed Bill's hand and pulled him out of the room.
Tony sighed and pulled out his phone. Abby was not gonna believe him.
-ooo000ooo—
"What do you think you're doing Bill?" Harry was furious. "I thought we were past that."
Bill looked at him with puppy dog eyes but Harry remained adamant.
"We are friends, Bill, we cannot be anything more than that. Look, Tony – I really, really like him. I don't know what it is, but I've never felt like that before. And maybe it won't work – I mean – as far as I know he's straight-" Bill snorted at that. "But I'd like to try and for once live my life a little." He looked at his hands for a moment, as if admiring the lines carved there. The old 'I must not tell lies' scar was barely visible but its imprint was still left in Harry's mind.
"I'm sorry, Raven, I was jealous." Bill said simply and hung his head. "So is he good for you?"
"For Merlin's sake, Bill," Harry winced slightly. "We work together, and it's our first meeting outside of the office, I promise I'll give you my full report after gathering more data." He said mockingly. "Now come on, I want you to introduce yourself."
-ooo000ooo—
It turned out Petty Officer Langdon's girlfriend knew everything about his schemes. The team picked her up as she was leaving for the airport. Now she was waiting in the interrogation room, fidgeting nervously and Gibbs smirked behind the window.
"Ziva, talk to her," The Mossad liaison smiled and left. "McGee, I think you have a report to finish, I want it on my desk by tomorrow." With that he strode out of the room and directly into Jenny.
"Director." He briefly thanked whatever gods may be that he had no coffee to spill, and turned his attention back to his old partner.
"Agent Gibbs." She mentioned for him to follow. "How is the case?"
"Coming along nicely."
"Good. And how are things with agent Potter?"
"Are you fishing for information, director? Because I have a question regarding Harry that I know you can answer."
Jenny studied him for a second. "You want to know about project Phoenix." Gibbs nodded.
"What can you tell me?"
"Not much." She sighed. "Actually nothing at all." Gibbs opened his mouth to protest, but she silenced him raising her hand. "But," She said. "I will tell you everything soon."
"How soon?" He was getting impatient.
"Look, we're have to let a few people in on that anyway, so you can as well be one of them. I'll inform Harry and we'll tell you when we have all the people gathered together."
"Well, you better."
-ooo000ooo—
With every passing minute Harry was more and more convinced that he was a part of some weird tv-show. Bill and Tony were laughing discussing shoe brands of all things.
Shoes were just shoes, for Merlin's sake.
He watched as Tony made an imitation of walking as a robot and Bill burst out laughing. Yep, he should definitely start looking for a hidden camera.
-ooo000ooo—
"So," Bill said, suddenly serious. He glanced at Harry, who was in the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge. "We need to talk."
"Sorry," Tony laughed. "But were we singing right now?"
"I want to warn you." Tony raised his eyebrows at that. "If you harm Harry in any way, and by any way I mean a bruise, one single fallen hair or a broken heart I will hunt you down and kill you. Slowly. Trust me, I can do that."
"If I do, then you have my word that I won't run." Tony promised.
"Good."
Harry made his way into the living-room balancing a tray of beers.
"I'm sorry, Raven, but I'm working this afternoon, I don't think my employees would appreciate it if I went to the bank completely stoned."
"You work in a bank?" Surprise was evident in Tony's voice.
"Gringotts." Harry answered for Bill and Tony only nodded. "He's a cursebreaker."
"You're kidding. I wanted to be a cursebreaker when I was a child." He sighed. "But then this case same along and I signed up to auror academy."
"Yeah, I know what you-" Harry started but was soon interrupted by Bill's shout.
"You're a wizard!" He pointed a finger at Tony accusingly.
"I think I've heard it somewhere today." Both Harry and Tony laughed.
"Don't be a smartass, DiNozzo!" Harry said in Gibbs' voice and laughed harder when Tony immediately straightened up, obviously expecting a headslap.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me." Bill crossed his arms on his chest. "Anyway, I have to go."
"Bill, why did you come in the first place?" Harry asked. "I mean, you know you can come here anytime, but-"
"Yeah, I totally forgot." Bill smacked his head making Tony snicker. "Severus wants to talk to you. And Remus is-" He hesitated. "He's kinda lonely, Harry. Now that you're gone."
Harry sighed. "Okay." He run his hand through his hair. "Friday afternoon, a house-warming party. Tell them to floo earlier because as far as I know there are not so many wizards here." He looked at Tony. "You are coming too, you know." Tony raised his hands in surrender. "And I guess I'll ask Ducky, McGee, Abby and Ziva to come too."
"Don't forget that we want to meet your uncle." Bill reminded him.
"Right. Leroy obviously has to come. But no magic when he's around."
"Sure thing." Bill waved at them and disappeared in the floo.
"You know, I think you're the only person who survived calling Gibbs 'Leroy'."
-ooo000ooo—
McGee made his way to the lab only to stop at the sight of Abby doing some unidentified exercises. "What's with the hula dance?"
"Oh, McGee, I'm so happy for them!" She threw herself at the stunned agent and hugged him fiercely.
"Uhm, what are you talking about?"
"Tony and Harry are living together!" She grabbed his head and kissed his forehead loudly. "I mean not like together together but together."
"Yeah, I get it now." He patted her head lightly and sighed. He had honestly no idea what she was talking about.
