Here it is! The last chapter for book 3! Sorry if there's a lack of action, I couldn't find the information I needed to really go into Black and Peter Pettigrew and that stuff. From what I remember of watching the movie, I know what happens, but it's gotten all mixed up in my head and stuff. But yeah.

Shouta yawned, head falling onto the desk as he groaned quietly. "Hitsugaya…" He grumbled, eyes looking tiredly at the other. "How the hell are you able to stay awake? The guy's voice is like a sleeping pill." Then he muttered, "I might as well record it for the future when I can't fall asleep." The other rolled his eyes.

"It's not that hard. Why don't you try listening to the content rather than the voice?" He raised an eyebrow, and the other just closed his eyes in return.

"Such a stuck up-"

"Shut up."

"What?" Hitsugaya asked, raising an eyebrow incredulously.

"N-Nothing. Sorry."

Have you seen Harry around lately?

No. Why?

Well, he's supposed to be meeting with some girl.

How do you know that?

…I snuck a look at the love letter he got.

…

But, anyways, I haven't seen Hermione or Ron either.

Their spiritual pressure indicates that they aren't in the school. That DADA professor and Black is with them.

Where are they?!

By that strange tree.

See you there then! I'm already on my way over!

Izukai?

Oi!

"…That idiot." One Hitsugaya grumbled as he put away his cell, making his way towards the group of living beings near the moving willow tree, and the chaos that was about to erupt.

Two Japanese students watched as the man escaped with the hippogriff. "It's funny how so often the hero gets mistaken for the villain, and the villain for the hero." Shouta muttered, resisting the urge to yawn.

"And how so often the hero makes himself out to be the villain for another's sake." Hitsugaya added, both boys smirking.

"Anyways, you want to see if we can weasel out of coming back next year? After all, Kurosaki and the others will be transferring in."

"We're here on a mission, Izukai. Besides, I'll have to keep an eye on those idiots." The Tenth Captain sighed, moving to get up.

"Right, right. I'm going to the library then."

"That book again?" Hitsugaya asked, raising an eyebrow. Shouta shrugged.

"What? It might have something else I missed earlier."

Hitsugaya stepped back into the Gryffindor common room, and was immediately assaulted by a noisy racket.

"Harry Harry Harry Harry Harry!" One female squealed, spinning round as she clutched a boy to her chest in a death hug.

"R-Rangiku! You're going to suffocate him!" Ichigo and Rukia stood off to the side, wanting to help, but looking unsure how.

"Woops! Sorry!" Matsumoto giggled, releasing the boy. Catching his breath, Harry fixed his glasses, looking more than a little bewildered. Matsumoto turned, and gasped in delight when she saw the white-haired shinigami standing there. "TAICHO!" She raced for him, grasping the other in a similar hug as Harry had been given.

"Matsumoto! Let go!" A muffled voice shouted. The woman did as told, releasing him a moment later.

"You know, I don't think I'll ever get used to you being so tall!" Hitsugaya rolled his eyes at her antics, taking out a book as he sat on one of the comfy armchairs. "Oh, Captain, I almost forgot! I brought Maru-chan for a visit!" Rangiku raced to the other side of the room, where some of her things were set up. Meanwhile, Ichigo, Harry, and Rukia slowly backed away from the Captain, whose scowl began deepening quickly.

Matsumoto came back, cheerfully holding up the stuffed dragon. "Matsumoto…" Hitsugaya growled.

"Yes?" She replied, head cocked to the side.

"I thought I told you I didn't want it." Matsumoto squeaked in fear as a flash of silver blurred in front of her. The blade quickly disappeared before anyone else could see it, and all eyes turned to the stuffed animal. Maru-chan's head fell off.

Rangiku's face had a look of absolute horror as she screamed. "MARU-CHAN!"

"…What do you want, Hara?" A certain brunette asked, eyes not leaving the book.

"I believe you know. I want revenge." The 6th year snapped angrily in reply.

"Don't be naïve. This world is full of injustice. No matter what you do, your parents aren't going to come back."

"Maybe not, but I can put their spirits at ease by giving you the punishment you deserve!"

"…You really are an idiot." Shouta sighed, closing the book and putting it away.

"Huh?"

"Your father is a murderer. He killed your baby brother before you even knew of him, and the psycho later killed his own wife the same night I killed him." The brunette turned around to look the other in the eyes. "I wanted to refrain from sullying the memory of your father, but obviously, the only way to get you to listen is for you to hear the truth."

Shouta gave the boy one last glare before he left, and the other, in shock, began to cry.

"So we're heading back now?" Hitsugaya nodded.

"As soon as Matsumoto gets down here." Not a moment too soon, a wailing was heard as the mentioned lieutenant stumbled her way down the stairs, cradling an object wrapped in blankets. Hitsugaya rolled his eyes, Shouta only giving everyone a questioning look.

"Someone mind explaining?" He asked, looking rattled when Matsumoto practically fell on him, sobbing.

"CAPTAIN BEHEADED MARU-CHAN!" She wailed, thrusting the object into Shouta's face, who pushed it away.

"M-Matsumoto, calm down. I'm sure Inoue can patch him up." He stuttered, and the woman's face brightened instantly.

"Let's hurry up and get home then!" She shouted, racing for the door. Hitsugaya resisted the urge to groan.

And there you have it! The end of Book 3! I've got some good ideas for the next book, and I can't wait to do the dance! XD See you then!
