~One month earlier ~

Rubbing at his arms to try and warm them Haruhi once again scolded himself for going out so late, he had thought his running-into-things-without-thinking-first syndrome had been suppressed after many years of learning why not to do it. Alas once a Gryffindor always a Gryffindor.

Besides eating was rather important, especially when he had finally gained a healthy body after the many years of living at the dursley's.

A figure walking toward him caught his attention and he instantly felt suspicious, it was odd to see someone out at this time of night in this weather so he could only suspect it was an enemy. The man was rather tall with a strong build and ash-blonde hair, Haruhi would have to use his speed to his advantage when the attack came since the man was most likely strong.

The man slowly got nearer and he forced himself to walk as if nothing was the matter but when the man strayed off the road to lean on the wall he realized that once again his paranoia had gone overboard. It wasn't like anyone was stupid enough to go after The Chosen one, at least not after he had defeated Voldemort with a simple Expelliarmus.

He slowed down his walking speed to peer at the man from the corner of his eye, the man was obviously rich but something seemed off about him.

"Takahiro…"

Haruhi blinked at the sadness in the man's voice and felt the urge to go up and help the stranger; his hero complex was harder to control especially when there was nothing else to distract him.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore and slowly made his way toward the slumped form, the sadness coming off the man was almost tangible and he couldn't help but wonder what in the world had depressed him this much. It reminded Haruhi of how he had been when Sirius died, completely lost and utterly broken.

Eying the man who had yet to notice him he hesitantly reached forward and placed his hand atop the man's head. "I'm sorry…"

The man visibly jumped and lifted his gaze so Haruhi could see the astonishing lavender staring at him with a startling intensity. He pushed back a blush and instead gave the man a soft smile. "Sorry to be so forward, but I can't control myself when someone needs help it's a little quirk of mine."

The man continued to stare at him with a wide-eyed look and Haruhi's smile turned slightly strained that look reminded him of the way Ron had looked at Hermione when he saw her at Yule Ball. "You probably think I'm weird…I'll go now."

He pulled his hand back and turned to walk away when a warm embrace suddenly engulfed him from behind. He froze in shock, his body stilling at the unfamiliar touch and he pushed down the instinct to lash out, the man wasn't dangerous that much he could tell.

"Sorry…" The man's smooth tenor sent shivers down his spine as the words were whispered in his ear. "Can I just stay like this for a while?"

Haruhi felt his cheeks flush at the proximity and quickly nodded since he couldn't find his voice. He hadn't been this close to anyone since…well ever. The warm arms, large chest pressing against his back with a rhythmically beating heart and soft brush of breath beside his ear was unfamiliar and he really had no clue how to react. Staying still as possible was the only thing he could think of.

They stayed like that for a while, their breaths visible due to the cold air but Haruhi didn't make any move to get free. It was a little odd since he didn't even know the man's name yet they were embracing on the street but he didn't find anything wrong with it, especially when small drops of water fell onto his shoulder.

"Can I by chance know your name?"

"Usami Akihiko."

"Haruhi, pleasure."

There now it wasn't too weird.

AN: Wasn't really planning on this but oh well, at least we know how they met. I'm just going to tell you that Misaki ended up not needing a tutor thus he and Usami never 'bonded', some future chapter will have this information but I just wanted to tell those who were curious.

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter.

Oh and just to be random a bird just flew into the window.

Question: I've recently fallen in love with One Piece and I'm thinking of making a crossover with Harry Potter, anyone have a specific suggestion they would like to see in such a story?
