A/N: this is a Female Harry crossover with KHR that kinda falls into my prompt of the Sawadas finding baby Harry and adopting them. I kinda wanted a semi competent parent Imitsu that still isn't there a whole lot and Tsuna will still have issues with that, but at least he tries. i've actually got a start to the next chapter and i have a fairly decent idea of what i would like done with the story so i'll try to keep going, but no promises and of course anyone can adopt this as long as they tell me.

It was a beautiful morning in Nammimori. The sun was peaking up over the horizon, the birds were chirping and the coloring of the leaves looked amazing in the crisp November air.
The Sawada household was blissfully silent as the residents continued to sleep peacefully. Well, all except for the husband.
Imitsu Sawada was attempting to fall asleep and failing miserably. His intuition had been tingling for two days in anticipation. He couldn't figure out why and that was making him restless. All he knew was that something huge was going to happen, something that would change his family but not something dangerous and it made him twitchy. But now, now his intuition was screaming at him to get up a go walk.
He sighed and gave up trying to sleep and got up and dressed himself.
"Imitsu?" Came his wife's, Nana, sleepy voice.
"Sleep, Nana-koi, I'm going to go on a walk, I'll be back in a bit." He whispered lovingly, kissing her head and running his fingers through her soft hair. Nana mumbled and fell back to sleep again.
Imitsu grinned and walked downstairs, surprised to see his three year d son, Tsunayoshi, already dressed in some clothes and playing quietly with some of his toys. Imitsu bit back a laugh at his sons clothes. His orange striped shirt was on backwards, he had his pants on and mismatched blue and red socks.
"What's my Tuna-fishy doing up so early?" He asked, quieter than he usually would.
Tsuna looked up and grinned toothily at him. "Tsu-kun wants ta go walk with tou-San!"
Imitsu paused in surprise, wondering if his son already had the famed intuition but pushed the thought aside for now, and grinned happily at his son.
"Alright, but let's fix your shirt first and grab your coat and mitts okay? He said, helping his little boy out.
When they finally were walking out the door, Tsuna was vibrating in excitement.
"Lets race!" Tsuna said. Imitsu grinned, feeling excited as well,
"Alright then, on the count of three. One, two, three!" The two took off, Tsuna giggling his head off as Imitsu pretended to try and catch him.
"You can't catch Tsu-kun!" Tsuna giggled, following the sidewalk, rather then cross the street.
"I'm gunna catch you!" Imitsu laughed, lengthening his stride to catch his son, barely missing an extremely obese man with a ghastly mustache and clearly not Japanese.
"Watch it!" The man snarled in English. Imitsu scowled at the man as Tsuna shrank into him, but didn't reply, pretending not to understand and let the man hurry off. Imitsu watched him with narrow eyes, the man was clearly suspicious, but just then Tsuna started wiggling outta his arms.
"Put me down Tou-San, I wanna keep going!" He said. Imitsu nodded and set his son down gently,
"Alright Tuna-fishy, but no more running ok?" He said, listening to his intuition that was telling him to go slow and pay close attention. Tsuna tilted his head, as though he was listening to something before nodding and taking his hand. The two walked leisurely, Imitsu listening intently to his son ramble on about his toys. Another block and the two came to a stop at the entrance of an alleyway where they could hear a baby crying. Imitsu frowned and hurried into the ally, horrified to see a baby only about a year or so old in a red blanket with gold embroidering, crying its little heart out.
"Tou-San?"Tsuna asked uncertainly as Imitsu swooped down to pick the baby up, cradling it to his chest. He was startled when he felt Lightning flames reach out and skim him for his intentions before receding to lay like a second skin over the little one.
"Shh, little one. Your fine." He said, his deep voice startling the little thing into quieting down and opening their eyes, showing watery bright green eyes.
"Mama?! Papa! Pa-foo." The little one cried in English.
"Shhh, you'll be alright." He soothed again, turning to see Tsuna watching the baby curiously. "This is Tsuna." Imitsu spoke clearly in English, pointing to his son. The baby sniffed and looked at Tsuna too.
"Are we keeping it?" Tsuna asked curiously? Poking the baby.
"I'm not sure yet. Let's get her home. It's. Dry cold out here and she is probably cold." Imitsu said, cradling the baby close. Tsuna nodded seriously and stuck close as they hurried home with the baby.
When the three got back home, Imitsu could smell Nana's wonderful breakfast.
"Kaa-chan! Look who we found!" Tsuna cried out, running into the kitchen to grab her as Imitsu carried the baby into the living room next to the heater to hopefully warm up.
"Imitsu? Who's that?" Nana asked uncertainly, coming to stand behind him, peering at the baby.
"We found it abandoned in an alleyway. I thought to bring them home. They're going to need changed." Imitsu responded quietly as the smell of a very dirty diaper hit his nose.
"I think we still have some of Tsu-kuns diapers that should fit, and I'll pull out some of the old baby clothes I kept. Will you wash them up?" Nana asked, fluttering around the baby, worry clear in her eyes.
"Of course." He said, starting to unwrap the baby from the blanket as Nana ran to grab some clean things.
"Can Tsu-Kun help?" Tsuna asked. Imitsu smiled down at him.
"Of course you can! You can hand me the soap and the towel when I need it ok?" He asked. Tsuna nodded his head frantically and ran up to the bathroom, Imitsu following slowly behind. When they got up there, Imitsu unwrapped the blanket, noticing the two thick envelopes attached in it. He put them aside to read later and undressed the baby, who he finally found out was a girl.
"Alright little one, lets clean you up." He muttered, feeling very bad for how filthy the little ones diaper had been. He wiped her up as he filled the tub.
"Bubbles?" Tsuna asked, holding his bubble bottle up. Imitsu smiled and shook his head.
"Not this time Tsu-kun. The baby has a bad rash and we don't know if the bubbles will make it worse. Can you hand me your soap though?"
Tsuna frowned down at the bubbles, but put them dow and grabbed his father the soap bottle instead. Imitsu thanked him and put the little girl in the water, smiling when she giggled and patted the water.
Imitsu quickly washed her up and took the towel from Tsuna to dry her off. Once that was done, he carried her and the letters back to the living room where he could see the diaper and little green shirt with blue pants. He got her dressed and joined Nana and Tsuna in the kitchen where breakfast was being served.
When the little girl saw Tsuna eating some scrambled eggs she lit up and started pointing to the as she chattered excitedly, Imitsu only catching one or two words.
"Ara? Would you like some?" Nana asked the girl sweetly, dishing her up a small plate . Imitsu helped the little one eat while Tsuna told Nana all about their walk, including the rude man and finding the baby.
"Can we keep her?" Tsuna asked after taking a huge breath. Imitsu and Nana traded a look.
"I'm not sure Tsu-kun. I think we should figure out more about her family, don't you? What if she was kidnapped?" Nana told him.
"How about you play with her in the living room while your kaa-San and I talk about it?" Imitsu suggested. Tsuna nodded wildly, pulling the little girl to follow him once Imitsu put her down.
The two adults watched them toddle away before Imitsu sighed and pulled out the two letters he found on the blanket.
"I found these in her blanket when I unwrapped her. I can't be certain, but I'm almost positive the man we nearly ran into was the one to abandon her. They both speak English and he looked nervous and in a hurry." He told Nana, who frowned harder.
"I don't understand, who could abandon a child? She doesn't look much older than a year! If you hadn't found her.." Nana trailed off and shuddered, tears welling up in her eyes at the thought.
Imitsu hugged her tightly, wishing he could shield her from the darkness in the world.
"I know, do you want to read the letter with me?" He asked. Nana nodded and situated herself better in his lap as he opened up the smaller letter. It was very simple and read,
Jasmine Cassiopeia Potter
July 31, 19**
"What does it say?" Nana asked quietly.
"It's her name and birthdate. Her name translates to Riko, it would be easier for you and Tsuna to say for now." He answered, putting it aside and opening the thicker envelope. Inside was a piece of thick parchment, giving Imitsu a good guess as to what the little girl was, before reading.
Dear Petunia Dursley,
I am sorry to inform you that late last night, Oct 31st, your sister Lily and her husband James Potter were murdered by the Dark Lord Voldemort, leaving your niece, Jasmine, an orphan.
Their funeral will be held in Goodrich Hollow on Nov 3rd at two o'clock. If you would like an input as to anything that happens, please contact me and I'll make sure it happens.
Also, because of some unfortunate events, the Potters will has been sealed until their daughter reaches seventeen years of age.
On to other news, everyone who would have taken in your niece are currently incapable of taking her and thus you are being given custody.
I shall warn you now, despite Voldemorts demise, there will no doubt still be dark wizards looking for Jasmine. However, due to the special protections your sister put in place upon her death, Jasmine has special protection from such people as long as she has a home with someone who shares Lily's blood that willingly houses her. As long as she lives with your family, those protections extend to your household and the members living within it.
I hope to have little Jasmine raised away from the magical world, and not learning of her magical heritage until she is eleven years of age and gets her acceptance letter to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Enclosed, I have all of Jasmines legal documents. I wish your family my deepest condolences and wish you the best of luck in these coming years.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
By the end of the letter, Imitsu was frowning heavily and allowed his wife to finish reading the document as she was slower reading English than he was.
The letter, despite not seeming to at first glance, actually held quite a bit of information, both currently relevant and for a later date. Immediately it told him that Jasmine was 15 months old, to little to really understand what was going on or remember anything when she was older. It also told her what her Aunts name was, meaning he could hunt the woman down if he needed to, not that he did, it was clear that the child had been dumped on her and she decided to dump the child off in turn. It also told him that the girl was a part of the magical society. While the magical and mafia communities didn't mix often, there was some over lap and both the CEDEF and Varia had a magical branch, so Imitsu did know about the blood purges happening in England. He had also heard quite a bit about Voldemort and Dumbledore and he wasn't really fond of either of them, neither were any other mafia famiglias.
Other than the obvious, it also suggested several other things, the biggest being that Dumbledore clearly wanted Jasmine ignorant of her background for some reason. The only reason he could think of was so that he could manipulate her later, though that was sketchy as it didn't necessarily mean she would be compliant. It also explained to Imitsu that the strong protective Lightning flames he had felt were probably from her mother's Dying Will, directed to protect her child in her desperation.
"Is this a joke?" Nanas voice interrupted Imitsu thought process. He looked at her.
"Is what a joke?" He asked.
"The stuff about witches and wizards" She said. He took a moment to reply, wondering how to phrase what he would say before deciding on a vague truth.
"It's true. I work with a wizard and he's a great guy. I've only heard of this Voldemort person in passing, he mainly operated in Britain."
Nana stared at him in surprise. She seemed to think about it for a moment before seeming to shrug it off. "Then what should we do? Should we contact the police?" The two fell silent at the peel of laughter Tsuna and Jasmine let out, marking the two grin wistfully.
"I want her." Nana admitted quietly, looking back at him. "I always wanted a big family, and I know the doctor told us chances for another baby is extremely slim. She looks like such a sweet girl and if the letter is true, then I think her parents would want her in a loving family."
Imitsu nodded, they had been devastated when they had discovered that chances of conceiving was extremely low, Tsuna had been a miracle and they had been trying since he was born with no success. His intuition purred at the idea of keeping her though, and he loved the idea as well.
"I'll work it out. What should we tell her? About all this?" He asked. Nana frowned,
"I think she should know that her parents died to save her and that we adopted her, tell her about magic and maybe find someone to give us some advice?" She suggested. Imitsu nodded, and stood up, setting his lovely wife on her feet.
She smiled sweetly and nodded, following him into the living room where they both stopped in surprise, because Tsunas toys were floating around the two, dancing in the air as the two laughed and giggled at them.
"Ara? Is that going to be normal?" Nana asked. Imitsu shrugged helplessly, equally surprised.
"I don't know." He said before putting a bounce in his step.
"Wow! Look at that!" He trilled, noting how the toys dropped when Jasmines attention was diverted.
"Tou-San! She's magic! Can we keep her?" Tsuna said excitedly. Imitsu crouched down and picked Tsuna up, tossing him in the air.
"You want that Tuna-fishy? Do you want her as your sister?" He sung.
"Hai!" Tsuna beamed.
Nana and Imitsu laughed and he turned to Jasmine and said in clear English, "what do you think Jasmine, wanna stay with us?"
The baby girl frowned, "Ma, Da? Oony, pafoo?" She asked. Nana took a sharp breath but knelt down and picked her up.
"I'm sorry, sweety, but your mummy and daddy are gone, they are looking over you as an angel now. But we would love to have you be with us." Nana said in Japanese, looking to Imitsu who translated.
Jasmine pouted, before turning and making grabby hands at Tsuna, who ran over to her and proceeded to smother her. "My." She stated.
"Then that decides it! I'll go work things out today ok?" Imitsu told Nana and Tsuna, who cheered, before he turned to Jasmine, "can we call you Riko? It means Jasmine."
"Ri!" Jasmine said, half excited half confused. And the two adults just knew that they were defiantly have to work on the language barrier, because Imitsu wouldn't be home all the time. He only had another month before he left for another five months till his next vacation.
It didn't take very long for Jasmine Potter to become a legal citizen of Japan, mostly because Imitsu was able to work around the law a bit. It also didn't take long for the Sawadas to legally adopt her, changing her name to Sawada Riko, and quickly integrated her into their everyday lives.
Imitsu had managed to get ahold of the Magical empire in Japan through his storm guardian, Oregano, and let them know of Jasmines predicament and asking for information. Luckily they weren't very fond of the Brits and would not tell them where she was and directed him to where he would get all the information he would need to raise a witch as well as a contact in the bank so that she would have a working knowledge of her family accounts and estates.
It had come as a huge surprise that the little girl they had adopted was rather well off, but Nana and Imitsu rolled with it, originally not accepting the money that would be for her care and maintenance, but had been convinced to take at least the bare minimum to help with her clothes, furniture and other expensive things they needed. As such, they managed to decorate one of the spare rooms in red and gold trim similar to her baby blanket and filled it with toys, clothes, furniture, and diapers.
Before he left, Imitsu had also managed to get some basics of the language taught to Riko. Tsuna and Riko were sad to see him go, but were far more distracted with playing with each other, as little kids often did. It set the tone for the next two years, until he had been forced to ask his boss to seal Tsunas flames. They had been too strong and pure and Imitsu didn't want him accidentally bonding with people he didn't really want a bond with since he wouldn't be there to help chase those people off, it would also help keep his family off the radar for a little longer. He was sad that he would only get to see his children twice more in the next eight years, but sometime you had to sacrifice something to keep those precious to you safe.
