Japanese Vacation

Chapter 5:

A pitcher of water

"This might be bad to have him as the supervisor then; it seems that he and Kyouya will make a terrifying team." She sighed before pointing over to a couch. "Would you all like to sit down? Have some tea?"

Ron, apparently deciding that tea sounded good, nodded and moved to the couch.

"Tea sounds wonderful," Hermione said with a small smile as she pulled Harry over. Harry just rolled his eyes, making sure that Haruhi was the only one that could see it. It wouldn't do to get Hermione irritated. That did not bode well for his academic career at Ouran.

Haruhi laughed at Harry's expression as she glanced over at Draco. He shook his head, leaning against a wall. He figured that he should wait five minutes before going into the office. That would give Snape enough time to get used to it without him there to interrupt.

Haruhi nodded and went to get the tea, then herself across from the others, pouring each one a cup.

"So, what do you think of your first entire day here at Ouran?" she asked, used to making small talk; it was one of her jobs as a host.

"It was definitely interesting," Hermione said. "It's so different from Hogwarts. Then again, it's to be expected."

Hikaru and Kaoru finished making sure that every sugary treat was in place before going and sitting with their customers, their mood a much less happier one.

Tamaki walked over to Draco, his attitude seeming to have changed from his earlier energetic one. "Is something wrong, Malfoy-chan?" He tilted his head to one side, noticing that it was almost scary how much the other boy looked like a smaller, angrier, him.

"I'm fine," Draco said, eyebrow raised at the blond in front of him. His eyes traveled over the room, and he resisted the urge to sneer. Muggles, he thought, were definitely inferior.

In the office, Kyouya handed Snape all the papers he would need if he wanted to read up on the Host Club and their efficiency. "If there is anything you need, Sensei, please feel free to ask either me, or Fujioka-chan. We, after all, are the two that can be trusted with things; aside form Mori, though he does not talk much."

Snape took the papers from Kyouya with a nod. "I will be sure to do that."

Then, he settled behind a desk and began to read the papers, obviously dismissing the teen.

Kyouya bowed and stood, making his way out of the office, slightly offended at being so blatantly excused. Once outside in the main room, he sat down next to Haruhi, rubbing his temples. "This should be an interesting year."

"Snape pulled the old 'you've done your job, now go' routine?" Harry asked, looking slightly amused at how 'put out' he looked. Nobody at Hogwarts would have thought twice about Snape's attitude, in fact, most would have considered them selves lucky if they had not gotten lashed out at.

Tamaki leaned over so that he was eye level with the shorter blond. "Hm . . . You don't seem to be fine."

Draco turned his gaze back to Tamaki. "Don't you have customers?" he asked, barely keeping the sneer from his voice.

Kyouya looked over to Harry and simply nodded. "It seems Snape-sensei will be an interesting man to work with." His voice seemed a bit distressed. "I do not do well with being looked down upon by someone who makes less money than myself." His gaze shifted a bit, only to close as he took a drink of the tea.

"Kyouya-sempai, just because you make more money than someone does not mean you're better."

A large round of gasps came from the many people of the club.

Tamaki's eye twitched as he stood examining the younger boy. He soon composed himself, though, and shook his head. "No one has called upon me, so I have no customers as of right now."

Haruhi let her head hand as she received odd looks from most of the girls in the room. One of them had even gone so far as to drop her cup. Mori was now cleaning up the shattered remains.

Hermione's lips pursed. "Money isn't everything," she said primly, purposefully making her voice loud enough to be hear. "No matter what people say, there are several things more important."

Harry just nodded in agreement.

"Here, here!" Fred and George chimed from where they were inspecting the room.

"Course there is," Ron grinned. "After all, it wasn't money that allowed us to—ouf!"

Ron was cut off by Hermione's elbow in his side. "Oh, sorry, Ron," Hermione said, actually sounding distressed.

Harry coughed to cover a laugh.

Draco couldn't help but roll his eyes. Just his luck, he thought. He was coerced into going on this ridiculous trip, really having had nothing better to do (which, in itself was sad), and then he gets cornered by one of the muggles. One that wanted to talk.

"Pity," he said, this time unable to keep the sneer from his voice.

Tamaki's expression changed from one of friendly countenance to one of a very offended one.

"Well, someone needs to learn manners when speaking to an upperclassman." His teeth gritted and his arms were firmly pinned to his sides as he spun on one foot and stalked off.

Draco, however, would not be along for long, for as Tamaki walked away, Kaoru and Hikaru were walking their last clients of the day to the door, and had overheard Tamaki's words. They stepped towards their new classmate, both picking up something and hiding it behind their backs, and looked down at him.

"Well, you are a mean one, Baka-chibi,"(1) they said, removing their hands from behind their back and held up pitchers of ice water. "Ne, we think that it's time you cooled off." Their voices held their own smirk as they dumped the pitchers on his head.

The yell caught Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the twin's attention. Almost as one, they turned, or stood, immediately going onto the defensive, only to relax, some with a laugh, at the sight of a drenched, furious, Draco Malfoy.

Ron, for his part, fell back onto the couch, unable to continue standing.

Hermione tried, valiantly, to keep it in, but lost the battle. After all, she reasoned, it wasn't every day that you saw a Malfoy looking like a drowned rat.

Fred and George leaned against each other, not bothering, like Ron, to hold back their laughter.

Harry was the only one that wasn't actually laughing.

"Bloody hell," Draco yelled, face furious. "You bloody idiots!"

Thankfully (in Harry's opinion), before Draco could say anything else, the door to Snape's office slammed open. He glowered around the room, sobering up every Hogwarts student. Ron was instantly on his feet, face straight, though he did refuse to look at Malfoy. Even Fred and George straightened, though they still sported grins.

"What," Snape demanded, voice dangerously low, "is going on here?" His voice did not allow for anyone to not answer him.

Kyouya stood, before anyone else could speak and walked over to Draco, grabbing a towel on the way to him and thrusting it in his direction.

"Malfoy-kouhei(2), seems to not know that rude or ill-mannered comments or tones to upperclassmen will not be tolerated within Host Club walls." He looked at Snape. "Please excuse them, Snape-sensei, they only do as I have told them to do in these situations."

The two Hitachiins were standing over Draco, the pitchers still held up with darkish grins on their faces.

Tamaki just sat on a window ledge listening to everything that was going on while looking out a window.

Snape's narrowed gaze roamed the room momentarily, causing every Hogwarts student to shudder, before they rested on Draco. The blond was positively shaking with supressed rage.

"I see," he said finally. "Malfoy." Snape raised a finger and motioned him to follow him into the office. Draco did so without question.

As soon as the door closed behind him, Ron fell back onto the couch laughing. Neither set of twins was far behind him.

Harry looked around the room. "Well, it was nice meeting you, but I've got homework to do." He gave a general nod to the room, grabbed his bag, and headed for the door.

Hermione sat back down by Ron, whose laughing had quieted, and Fred and George moved over to them.

Kyouya watched Harry leave, but before he was actually gone, he spoke up. "Don't forget, Potter-kouhei, you are more than welcome here when ever you wish to visit. And the same goes for you, Granger-hime, and Weasley's."

Harry's nod was rather curt as he left, only those who knew him well could tell that he was not happy. Why, though, they weren't sure.

Kaoru and Hikaru resorted to cleaning up a bit of water that had landed on the ground after Draco was pulled into Snape's office.

Ron and Hermione shared a confused glance. Neither knew why the Potter heir was upset.

"Er, thank you," Hermione finally said in answer to Kyouya's statement.

"What do you think you were doing?" Snape demanded as soon as the door closed behind them.

"This entire thing is a joke," Draco growled.

Snape sat back in his chair, eyeing Draco thoughtfully for a moment. "Correct me if I am wrong, but you do not seem to even be trying.

"Why should I? They're muggles."

"And if your attitude does not change, they may become curious as to why you see them as you do."

Draco froze, he hadn't thought of that. "Would they do that?"

"I am not an expert on muggles," Snape replied. "However, if your attitude does not change, I would suggest staying away form this host club. Ohtori Kyouya reminds me a lot of my Slytherins."

Draco nodded, understanding the deeper meaning. "Yes, sir."

Snape nodded, dismissing him. Draco turned and left the room, not quite as angry as he was when he went in.

The twins' eye gleamed triumphantly as they watched Malfoy walk out of the office, only for those looks to falter when they saw Haruhi approach him, meeting him halfway to the door.

"I'm very sorry for what the twins did," she gave him an awkward half smile, trying not to upset him farther. "Just be glad that it was water, I suppose."

Draco blinked at Haruhi before nodding once. "It could have been worse, yes," Draco answered, his self-preservation telling him that it would be very bad to ostracize himself from the one who was willing to help him . . . without spreading it around, even if he (2) was a muggle.

"I should go," he said, nodding goodbye and leaving the room without a backwards glance.

Not long after, Snape exited his office and left the room without so much as a glance at its occupants.

The Hogwarts students were silent for all of five seconds before something in Hermione's bag buzzed. After a quick, confused dig, she pulled out what looked to the muggles, like a little black box.

"Oh, no!" she exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "We're late!"

"Late?" Ron asked. "To what?"

Hermione gave him a pointed look.

"Oh . . . OH!"

With that the four remaining exchange students said quick goodbyes and hurried from the room.

Haruhi blinked a few times before shaking her head. "Well, Kyouya-sempai, since Club activities are over, I need to be heading home. I need to cook dinner for dad before he gets home." She waved goodbye to everyone, and was soon followed by Hikaru and Kaoru.

"See ya, Mother!" they smiled and waved.

Soon, everyone filed out of the third music room, except for Kyouya, who sat on the couch and grumbled.

"Why me?"

(1)Baka-chibi - basically means 'little idiot'

(2)Kouhei - underclassman
