This chapter will finally show a few old friends from the HP franchise. Can anyone guess the one in the flashback? Also the one who says Sirius and Remus, don't worry, they'll appear in due time.
As the opening song starts, the title appears on screen before changing to show Tsuna with a clear blue sky background. He starts walking before stopping when Felicia appeared in front of him with Reborn in her arms.
She smiled while Reborn looked up to him as his partner, Leon, shifted into a gun.
Pulling the trigger and the flash of a Dying Will Bullet, the next scene shows Dying Will Tsuna doing amazing feats like jumping high into the sun and running in high speed before he returned to normal, the flames dissipating, smiling as Felicia appeared next to him.
The next scene features Gokudera, Yamamoto, Sasagawa Ryohei and Hibari Kyoya showing off their Attacks/Weapons in full motion before showing the X-Gloves and Tsuna.
The next sequence showcases I-pin doing kung-fu and Lambo throwing greandes around before being smacked into the 4th wall by Reborn.
The next scene is Tsuna and Felicia with Reborn in her arms again, looking into the sunset before turning to find their friends and allies before shifting to a final group shot of TYL I-pin, Ryohei, Gokudera, Hibari, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Dino, and TYL Lambo in the backgrounds while Dying Will Tsuna and Felicia stayed behind Reborn in the middle.
~CHAPTER 8: The Senior Boss Thinks of his Family~
The gloomy atmosphere in the room greatly contrasted the bright and sunny day outside. A young boy with short blond hair knelt by a bed, holding the hand of the old man in the bed. One glance and any outsider could tell the man won't live much longer.
"Dino, I'm relying on you for the Cavallone…" the old man said weakly.
"Please don't say that." the boy began, "I told you; I won't take the family."
"Dino…" the old man said, but the young boy didn't hear of it and ran out the room.
He passed by two people, one tall redhead and the other dark hair in a suit, who were heading towards the room, "Young Boss!" the older man yelled after him.
But the boy continued to run. But when he reached the stairs he slipped and fell all the way down. The man face palmed while the other sighed, expecting such thing to happen before they entered the room.
"Boss…" The redhead trailed off, not sure what to say.
"It's fine. Someday, Dino will become a great boss." the old man said tiredly.
"But…"
"I called him." the old man said, making the two gasp.
Now outside, the boy laid on his back watching the sky above.
"I've already told the old man I don't want to do it…" the boy muttered. Then a shadow covered his face, he looked up to see a baby who wore a suit and Fedora hat; he also had a lizard on his hat.
"I'm the home tutor Hitman, Reborn" the baby said looking down at him, Dino sat up. "I'll make you into a great boss" Reborn said smiling at the soon to be Cavallone tenth boss.
xXxOOOOxXx
It was after school and we find our two teens walking to Tsuna's home for their study session for an upcoming test. Though it would be their first one in a while; What with the craziness Reborn had been bringing. Felicia was smiling as usual, albeit she had a wrist brace on her left hand courtesy of Hibari from their spar earlier on. She would have mend it with a 'Brackium Emendo' but after what happened when a stupid fraud tried that on her, she rather not have her bones re-grown again.
Tsuna, on the other hand, was thinking deeply, much to her surprise. Though she had a feeling what he was thinking about but decided to humor him
"Tsuna, what are thinking about?" She asked.
"Well, I bet Reborn is waiting for me at home." he said. "Maybe I should run away."
"We all know Reborn will have dragged you back before the day is done." She pointed out.
"That's true..." Tsuna slumped in defeat.
Felicia smiled, wanting to help him but she's in the same boat as him. Being the only heir, or heiress, to one of the high noble house, Reborn was adamant to make her live up to the name. By hook or by crook. Which explains why he approved of her sparring with Hibari where her two godfathers would have refused.
She smiled sadly at the thought of her fellow mages. Even though she liked the life she has in Namimori, nothing beats the familiar setting of London as she remembered the places they would go.
She stopped her train of thoughts when she heard Tsuna cried out in shock before looking towards his house where she found around fifty people in front of Tsuna's house. Each one was dressed in black suits and had a sort of 'air' to them that spoke Mafia as they murmured amongst each other.
Tsuna was understandingly shocked, eyes wide as he took in the huge crowd. "What is this?!" He shouted, taking in all the dangerous looking men.
Felicia stood her ground as she placed herself in front of Tsuna while wondering why before sweeping her magic over the house, sighing in relief to feel Nana and the others but stopped when she felt a few foreign presence and two familiar ones. She shoved all of that to the back of her mind when she felt the men shifting. Like hell was she going to let these guys touch Tsuna.
But before she could fire a spell, a familiar voice (to her) spoke, "Alright, stop right there!"
With that, the men parted like waves as they allowed one male to walk through. Felicia observed the newcomer; a tall and lanky redhead with a freckled complexion, and light-blue eyes.
Her eyes's squinted at the male, taking in his appearance before uttering in English, "Ron?"
The male chuckled before spreading his arms out, "That's my name. Don't wear it out. Now are you going to stand there or are you gonna give an old friend a hug?"
Tsuna couldn't believe his eyes; one moment the Brit was standing in front of him, the next she was being twirled around in a hug by the redhead, laughing and giggling like a little school girl. He felt a twinge of jealousy, wanting to know who this guy is to her. It was a good thing the Brit had taught him English or he would be trying to decipher what they were saying.
"Oh, Ron! I can't believe it's really you! It's been like what, four years, since you flew to Italy!" Felicia said as she let go of the hug. "And you grew taller as well! Did you have another growth spurt?"
"Nice to see you in good spirits, old girl." Ron said before turning to Tsuna who was looking at them with an unreadable expression on his face. "Now I believe you have a companion there."
Realizing she had left Tsuna out of the loop, she dragged her old friend to the brunette, "Tsuna, let me introduce you to my best friend."
"Ronald Weasley, at your service." The redhead said in fluent Japanese. "But call me 'Ron'. That's what everyone calls me."
Tsuna blinked, feeling embarrassed for thinking the redhead could be her boyfriend, or worse her fiance. He did feel better but that dastard jealousy lingered when she said 'best friend'.
"I-I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, but you can call me 'Tsuna'." He greeted, still not used to speaking with strangers.
"Oh, so you're the Vongola Decimo I heard so much about?" Ron said before staring at him. Tsuna fidgeted under the stare before jumping when he heard the redhead laugh. "Oh, you two are so alike! I'm sure you'll get along famously."
Felicia blinked, "Does that mean..." She groaned when Ron nodded. "Let me guess, Reborn?"
"Who else?" the redhead shrugged as they entered the house.
The three then walked up the stairs after taking off their shoes, the brunette's eyes apprehensive as they finally arrived at the door of his room.
"Reborn! What did you do now?" He yelled as he opened the door but flinched when he saw two men as the same one outside in his room.
"They're in the house too!" Tsuna yelled.
"You two, you're scaring him." A female voice said. Tsuna turned to the owner of the voice to find a beautiful female with slightly wavy brown hair and equally brown eyes. "I'm sorry about them."
Tsuna shook his head and before he could speak, he heard Felicia spoke, "Mione?"
"Feli!" The brunette girl squealed as the two girls hugged each other, magically avoiding Tsuna and the table in the middle of the room. "It's so good to see you!"
"It's good to see you! I didn't know you've allied with the Cavallone?" Felicia said.
"She's worried that I'll sooner lead to their downfall than be their protector." Ron said as he leaned against the door frame.
"Oh hush. That's not true, I did not say that."
"But you're thinking it."
"Another of your friend?" Tsuna asked Felicia.
"Yep, meet my best girl friend." Felicia gestured to the girl who bowed.
"Hermione Granger. You must be Sawada Tsunayoshi-kun. Pleased to meet you." Hermione held out her head in a handshake, which he hesitantly took.
"We've been waiting, Tsuna." Reborn said.
"Reborn, what is this?" Tsuna asked.
"Yo, head of the Vongola." A young masculine and friendly voice said. Tsuna then noticed a black chair facing the opposite direction of him. "I've come all the way from Italy to visit. I'm the tenth-generation boss of the Cavallone family, Dino."
As the chair swirled around, it showed a young man looking to be in his twenties, and was very handsome. He had short blonde hair and wore a green jacket with black fur on the rim of his hoodie, a black shirt and cargo pants. He had tattoos on his arm and Tsuna could see a little piece of a tattoo on his chest from his collar shirt.
"Cavallone… As in mafia?" Tsuna yelled in panic.
Dino then glared at Tsuna, making him flinch in fear. "Hahaha, this is no good." He stood up with hands in his pockets and walked over to the terrified Tsuna. "You have no aura. You don't look daring. You have no drive, and there's no anticipation about you."
"Your legs are short too. You have no money, and no power." Reborn butted in.
"He looks unlucky too. He has zero talent as a boss." Dino said turning to Reborn,
"Yup." Reborn nodded as the two men in suits laughed as well. Tsuna hasn't felt this embarrassed in a while, and it was from someone he had just met.
"You're not one to talk, Dino." Ron said from his place at the door frame. "You were just as useless as he is."
Dino flinched and Hermione nodded, "If it weren't for me helping you with your Family's finances, I doubt anyone even remember the name Cavallone. What with you being so bad at mathematics."
"Come on, I'm not that bad!" The blonde retorted, only to have twin blank expressions pointed at him. Wanting to change the subject of his past failures, he quickly turned to Felicia. "And this must be the famous Felicia I heard so much about. Ron and Mione never stopped talking about you." He then held out a hand to shake hers but paused when Tsuna held out an arm.
Felicia blinked at the arm that's in front of her before turning to her friend. His brown eyes were tinted orange and narrowed at the blonde. She wondered what happened to her once gentle friend. Reborn, Ron and Mione watched the exchange before the two mages shared a look while Reborn tilted his fedora down. Dino, knowing what this meant, wisely retracted his hand, lest he lose it if he went any nearer. He backed away slowly until the glare lightened up.
"Tsuna?" Felicia called out, and the strange look in his eyes faded away before her friend went back to normal. The boy blinked as if wondering what happened before turning to her. "Are you feeling alright?"
"I think so." He said, unsure before turning to Reborn. "Who are these guys?"
"Dino is your senior pupil." Reborn explained.
"A senior pupil?"
xXxOOOOxXx
"I said a lot of harsh things, but don't take it badly, Vongola Tenth. Like what Ron said, before I met Reborn, I had no talent for being a boss." Dino said.
"Before meeting Reborn? Does that mean…?" Tsuna asked,
"Before I came here, I was training Dino to become a mafia boss." Reborn explained.
"Seriously?!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"Reborn's lessons were no easy tasks. There were many times I thought I'd die." Dino said in remembrance of the old days.
"I don't get it!" Young Dino would yell, Reborn was in a construction suit beside him. Reborn pushed down the explosives trigger and boom; Dino's screams could be heard from a mile away.
Another time; a bear attacked him, Dino was scared as usual so he kept swinging his whip in front of him. The bear just sweat dropped in confusion, Reborn was wearing camouflage and was watching from afar.
'I have to go through that too?'
"Then when Ron and Mione came by, things got a whole lot chaotic." Dino said, smiling at his two mages.
A slightly older Dino sweated bullets as he stared hard at the chess pieces in front of him while Ron waited for his next move. The blonde's not worried about losing the game, he's more worried of the consequences of making the wrong move as he glanced at Reborn who had Leon in his signature gun form pointed at him. The wall beside him already had multiple bullet holes.
Another time; Reborn appeared, holding onto a flask filled with a strange liquid. Behind him is a worried Hermione who already had her wand out. Dino, not noticing the danger, tentatively drank the potion before he breathed out fire. The witch was there with an 'Aguamenti' ready.
'Seriously?' Tsuna sweat-dropped.
"Thanks to them though, I'm now a boss in charge of 5,000 families." Dino said smiling at him. "The truth is, I wanted to learn a lot more from Reborn, but he said he had to go to you, so I saw him off."
"Um… I have no interest in becoming a mafia boss whatsoever." Tsuna explained. "I don't mind if you take Reborn back with you."
Dino glared at him again, causing him to flinch, "Just like Reborn says. You're exactly like I used to be."
Tsuna looked up, "Huh?"
"I had no interest in taking the seat of the boss. There's no good guys in the mafia, after all." he explained. "Reborn is definitely great. You'll probably become a great boss. But if you say you'll never do it…" Dino reached into his jacket, Felicia tensed, hand ready to summon her wand as Dino whipped out the thing that he's holding. She blinked in surprise while her two friends chuckled.
"I'll bite!" Dino grinned as he held out a small snapping turtle.
"A-A turtle?" Tsuna and Felicia said.
"That's rude, Boss." the guy in the glasses scolded Dino as he laughed.
"His name is Enzo. When I asked Reborn for Leon, he gave me this guy instead." Dino explained.
"Leon is my partner, after all." Reborn said.
"And you can't separate bonded partners." Hermione said, her eyes twinkled.
"Hah..." Tsuna breathed out. Then the door burst open to reveal I-pin running away from Lambo who is holding two grenades but he tripped making him drop the grenades, but not before accidentally pulling the pins. The grenades flew above everyone and went out the window.
"Stupid!" Tsuna exclaimed.
"This is bad. Dino's subordinates are waiting outside." Reborn said but was still smiling as usual.
Dino got up and jumped out the window while pulling out his whip. "You guys! Get down!" he yelled at his subordinates who looked up. He caught the grenades with the whips and threw them high in the sky. Ron and Hermione were already at the window; the redhead casts a Silencing ward around the area so no one would hear the explosion while Hermione levitated Dino safely to the ground while creating a barrier around them so the explosion wouldn't get them.
"The boss did it again." one guy said.
"He puts us on edge at least once a day." another said.
"Come on, that's not true." Dino said as he stood up, he had a little worn out but smiling look on him.
"Just admit it, Dino. We all know it's true." Ron shouted.
"He's so cool!" Tsuna said in amazement.
"Do you understand? A boss is someone who puts his life on the line for his subordinates." Reborn tried changing the almost disaster into a learning lesson. "While the mage protects the family from danger."
"Don't just try to connect everything together!" Tsuna yelled at Reborn.
"Dino, you're staying here tonight." Reborn said, ignoring Tsuna. "I've already gotten permission from Maman."
"I don't mind, but what about these guys?" Dino yelled up.
"Your subordinates can return" Reborn replied.
"I'll feel at ease if you're with Reborn-san." one guy said, "I'll feel a lot better." another added on.
"Geez, you guys." Dino sighed at them joking around, "Okay then, I might as well start lecturing the Vongola Tenth."
"Then we mages will have our own little discussion." Ron said as he dragged Felicia and Hermione out. "You don't mind if we stay over at your house, right Feli?"
The raven-haired nodded. "Ah wait a minute!" Tsuna tried calling to them but they disappeared as they went out the door. "Feli-chan and I were supposed to be studying together..."
xXxOOOOxXx
"Feli, have you resonated with Tsuna?" Ron asked as they stood on the roof of the Sawada residence. A few Notice-Me-Not charms worked their magic.
"Resonated? No, I don't think so." Felicia asked.
Hermione and Ron shared a look before the brunette asked, "Have you notice any strange behaviors from him lately?"
Felicia blinked before trying to remember, "Other than the time he felt obliged to protect me from a punch when he knows I can take care of myself, nothing else. Although his actions just now was a first."
"That means it's only starting to..." Ron said.
"Even still, don't you think it's a bit too fast? Feli and Tsuna had only been together for almost half a year." Hermione said. "It took us two years to fully resonate with Dino, a year to start it."
Let me explain,
Most mafia families are such power-hungry bastards that they think the more mages they have with them, the stronger they get. Which is why the mages created the Resonation. It's a skill every mage can do; by resonating with a person (Mostly the boss of a Family), the mage is forever bound to that person till death do they part. A perfect way to tell other Families that 'I'm taken.' But to achieve resonation, you need to trust each other and with the fact both sides has trust issues, it would normally take a year to start the resonation and a few years to complete it.
There are rarely a few that could lessen that time in both the starting and the completion.
Of course, when you're resonated even at the start, the person you're bonded to tends to get a bit territorial...
"Which explains why Tsuna had acted that way..." Felicia said.
"And that begs the question, why do you trust him?" Ron asked. "For there to even have a resonation, you need to both trust each other. It's clearly that he trusts you and you trust him so why? Every one of us know you have some trust issues because of your... background. It took us what, three weeks, to even get you to talk to us since you were too busy hiding behind walls and such."
Felicia's face burned with embarrassment, "C-Can you blame me? After being trapped in that hell-hole for eight years and suddenly thrust into the Wizarding World the next, can you blame me for being wary of my surroundings?"
"So why him?"
"...He treats me much more human than anyone else." She smiled as she looked up at the sky.
"I see..." Hermione smiled before her face became grim. "Even still, you need to be careful, Feli. Especially when you're..."
"...I know, Mione. I know..."
xXxOOOOxXx
Night time came and everyone, including Dino and his two mages and Felicia, sat down at the magically expanded dining table. Nana didn't notice as she was happy to cook for a large group of people.
"Everyone, eat up." Nana said.
"Thank you!" Dino said to her before digging into his food. "It's so good!"
"It is." Hermione said as she tried the grilled fish.
"Just as good as mom's cooking." Ron said.
Nana blushed as she waved away the compliments, "I'm so glad you liked it."
Tsuna on the other hand ate slowly. 'Our dining table has so many people all of a sudden...' Tsuna thought.
"Is there anything you want to ask me, cute younger pupil?" Dino asked. "I'll give you advice as senior pupil."
'I'm happy that Dino-san likes me, but I don't want to be part of the mafia.' Tsuna thought nervously before looking at Felicia, remembering what it meant.
"Oh, yeah. Does Tsuna have a family yet?" Dino asked.
"Right now there's only Felicia, Gokudera and Yamamoto." Reborn said. "The prospective ones are Hibari and Sasagawa Ryohei."
"Those are just friends and upperclassmen! Geez!" Tsuna yelled at Reborn.
"You're really pulling Hibari-san in then..." Felicia sighed.
"But why did you come here anyway, Reborn?" Tsuna asked. "It seems like it was working better with Dino-san than with me."
"The Vongola family is the center of our family alliances." Hermione explained.
"And what that means is that they're our top priority." Ron concluded.
"Eh, the Vongola family is that great?" Tsuna gasped. 'It's getting worse.'
"Oh my, Dino-kun, you've spilled so much." Nana said getting everyone's attention. It was true; Dino spilled his food all over the table at the spot where he sat. Even his two mages were clean of any spillage.
"Whoa, he's making a bigger mass than Lambo!" Tsuna said.
"If Dino doesn't have his subordinates by him, he's useless." Reborn added in. "He's the type of person that can't use his power unless it's for the family. Without his subordinates, his reflexes decreases greatly too."
"Even with us two, his reflexes only increased a bit." Hermione said, not at all fazed by this.
"At least he's better than before. When we first met, he literally tripped up the stairs and rolled back down to the outside and into a pond." Ron said. The blonde blushed in embarrassment.
"What is that? Is that like the ultimate boss predisposition?" Felicia wondered.
"Again with that, Reborn. You believe me, right Tsuna? I usually eat with a fork and knife, so I just can't use chopsticks well." Dino tried to reason but the two teens turned to his mages who were eating with chopsticks just as well as any bred-and-born Japanese. Seeing this, he glared at them who pretended not to notice as they continued to eat in peace.
"Lambo-san ate it all!" Lambo said proudly.
"Lambo-kun, do you want to take a bath too?" Nana asked.
"Lambo-san will take one!" Lambo yelled as he ran off his chair.
"Ah, the tub isn't filled yet." Nana tried warning Lambo.
A few minutes later, they heard his scream which caused everyone except Reborn to panic.
"Lambo!" Tsuna yelled worriedly.
"What is it?" Dino got up but as he was about to run, he tripped over his own foot and face-planted on the ground.
"D-Dino-san, are you all right?" Tsuna asked worriedly.
"Ow ow… I tripped over my foot" Dino said.
"Same as usual." Reborn, Hermione and Ron said in unison.
"Seriously?!" Tsuna and Felicia yelled.
"What about Lambo?" Tsuna remembered the screaming cow; they all then ran into the bathroom. "Lambo! What is it?" Tsuna asked as he opened the door to find him sitting in the tub with tears in his eyes. "Lambo, don't get in the bath your clothes on."
"Tsuna!" Felicia shouted, just as something below Lambo rose up from the tub to reveal a giant turtle.
"Hiee! A turtle?!" Tsuna yelled.
"Ugh, when did Enzo get away?" Dino said nervously.
"That's the turtle from before?" Tsuna asked.
"Enzo is a special sponge-type turtle that grows when he takes in water." Reborn explained calmly. "At it's biggest, it could eat a whole house." As Reborn said this, it already began to eat the tub.
"Leave to I-pin." I-pin said as she threw her Gyoza fist at Enzo. But it had no effect leaving Tsuna and I-pin confused.
"Turtles can hold their breath for a long time, after all." Reborn explained.
"Stay back. If I can't take care of my own pet, it's a disgrace onto the Cavallone family!" Dino said proudly. Ron and Hermione had already pulled both Tsuna and Felicia away from him, leaving the two confused. "Calm down, Enzo!" Dino yelled as he pulled out his whip and swung it backwards.
...Only to hit himself with it.
"Ah, Dino-san!" Tsuna yelled. "Are you alright?"
"Now you understand that Dino is practically useless without his subordinates." Reborn said, amused at his ex-student's pain.
"I can't believe that Dino-san would be like that…" Tsuna muttered as Hermione eased the pain on the blonde. Enzo began walking out the broken tub. "Ah, it's coming this way."
"It can't be helped. It's Leon's turn now." Reborn said as Leon jumped on Tsuna's face before transforming into the face of one of Dino's subordinates.
"Romario, I thought you left." Dino said, looking at him. Felicia only looked at him, thinking how oblivious he is. "Idiot! Get down and leave this to me!"
He swung his whip skillfully and wrapped it around Enzo's legs. Pulled it and Enzo fell over, right on his back.
"That was fast..." Felicia couldn't helped but be in awe.
"Dino-san really is cool." Tsuna said smiling at him brightly.
They then took Enzo up to Tsuna's room and dried him with a blow dryer. "Sorry, Enzo." Dino said as the turtle reduced in size. Tsuna sighed, happy his house wasn't destroyed.
xXxOOOOxXx
It was after Dino had tested Tsuna's two family members, Yamamoto and Gokudera, and the utter destruction of the Yakuza, Momokyokai. Tsuna and his two friends were walking back, Felicia wasn't with them since she went somewhere with Hermione throughout the whole thing. They were then approached by Ron who waved to them in greeting.
"Yo, sorry about Dino. He wanted to test if you guys are worthy enough to protect Tsuna." Ron said with a smile.
Gokudera scoffed, "Of course I am! I'm the Tenth's right hand man!"
He chuckled, "You don't mind if I borrow Tsuna for a bit? I have a few questions I need to ask him." Gokudera was reluctant but after being coaxed by Tsuna, both he and Yamamoto walked ahead. "Now then..."
Tsuna blinked at the taller redhead before flinching when he saw the seriousness in his blue eyes. No longer the friendly, approachable redhead but someone who meant business.
"I want to ask you something, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Said boy gulped. "Is it true that you refused to be part of the mafia?"
'Huh?' Tsuna blinked before nodding, "It is. I mean, I'm just an ordinary student. To suddenly been told that I'm the future mafia boss is a bit too much. And since the mafia means a lot of fighting and I hate violence."
Ron watched him before sighing, "If that's the case, then you won't mind me bringing Felicia back to the Cavallone?" Tsuna's eyes widened. "If you're not going to be a mafia boss and just want to be an ordinary school boy, then there's no reason for her to stay bonded with you."
"B-Bonded?"
"It's something we mages can do. By bonding, or resonating, with that person, we are forever bound together till either one of us dies." Tsuna paled at that. "You can also say it's a way for that person to keep a leash on us so we don't wander off or worry about any mafia family trying to snatch us up."
"B-But that's-"
"I'm not saying it's a bad thing. For one, you need to have trust in each other to begin resonating. And that's something I don't understand. It took me and Hermione three weeks for us to get her to talk to us, and a few more for her to open up. So when I heard she made friends with someone she had just met, it's natural for me to be curious to see which bloke managed to do that." He then grimaced. "Only to see it's some puny kid who can't even stand up to a freaking chihuahua."
Tsuna flinched, not questioning how he knew that.
"Seriously, I don't even know what she see in you." He then held out a hand. "Here's a deal; If you promise to sever your bond with Felicia, I'll convince Reborn and Dino to leave you alone." Seeing the confused expression, he continued, "It's easy to convince Reborn to abandon his duty to train you since he's also thinking you're a lost cause."
Tsuna stared at the ground in shame. "So what happens if I do sever the bond?"
"...She'll leave Namimori and never come back." Tsuna's head shot up. "You know how important mages are to the mafia, right? What would happen if they caught wind that she's here in Namimori? If you become a normal teen, Reborn has no reason to stay here. Why else you think there had been no signs or word about mafioso rampaging in town? Because they're afraid of him, the best freaking hitman in the world. And let's face it, without him, you'll be long dead by now."
"I... I..."
"So what's it going to be?" Ron held out his hand again. "Deal? Or no deal?"
Tsuna gritted his teeth as he stared at the hand before smacking it away. He had long made up his mind as he glared at the redhead with narrowed orange tinted eyes. "No deal."
"Oh?"
"The reason why I don't want to be a mafia is because it means turning Felicia into nothing but a tool to be used. And I don't want that. She's a living, breathing human being. She has emotions, feelings and a free will to do what she thinks is best. So I won't allow you to take her away out of her will. She likes it here and, best friend or not, you have no rights to take that away from her. And if I have to fight you for it, then so be it."
Ron scoffed, "You're challenging a wizard to a fight? What can you do, you can't even throw a simple punch."
"I maybe weak, and even if you break my bones, if it's for Feli-chan, I won't give up and fight you with my dying will!" Tsuna said as he took a stance.
Ron's eyes widened at the declaration before bursting out in laughter, earning a confused stare. It took a while for the redhead to calm down, "OK, I think that's enough for me."
"...Huh?" Tsuna said, the determined look fading away.
"Sorry about all the harsh things I said about you." Ron said as he wiped a tear away. "I just wanted to test you if you're worthy of Feli. And I have what I wanted."
"Um... I'm not following..."
Ron then put his hands in his pants pocket. "As I said, Feli has trust issues because of his past so it's hard for to bond with people. But when Reborn sent a message to Dino just last week, I was surprised to hear Feli having friends here even though it has been only half a year since she first arrived in town. And after gathering much information about you, Tsuna, I wanted to know why is she so attached to you? Why did she trusted you so much? And I found my answer."
He tousled the shorter boy's hair affectionately that reminds Tsuna of Felicia, that could be where the Brit got her habit, "You're a kind and honest soul, Tsuna. Not many people have that, so make sure you keep it. And..." A forlorn look appeared on the redhead's face. "Take care of Feli for me, alright? She's like a little sister to me."
Tsuna smiled and nodded.
"But you sure you won't be a mafia boss? You'll make a great one."
"Ron-san!"
xXxOOOOxXx
"There you are!" Felicia said once she saw the two boys. "Where were you?!"
She was waiting in front of the house with Gokudera, Yamamoto, Dino and Hermione. After the two boys had told her that Ron wanted to talk to Tsuna, she felt dread pooling in her stomach. She loved Ron as a big brother she never had but he can be so protective of her. No doubt he's talking to Tsuna about her well-being.
"Come on, Feli. We were having some guy talk." Ron said as he put an arm around the shorter boy.
The glare she was giving said she didn't believed him, not one bit. "Well, it's getting late. Do you want to stay over for dinner again? I can ask Nana-san to bring out fork and knife for Dino-san."
"That'll be great." Ron said.
"Yamamoto-kun and Gokudera-kun too. Since you rescued Tsuna today and it is getting late."
"Really, Hime?"
"Lucky!"
"Is it alright, Tsuna?" She turned to the brunette who nodded.
"Un, but I want to talk to Dino-san for a bit." They nodded and proceeded inside.
All was quiet outside with the two before Dino broke it, "So Ron gave you the talk?"
"Huh?"
Dino grinned, "His brother, the one contracted to my late dad, gave me one too when Ron and Hermione became my mages. Let it be known that the Weasley house is very scary when concerning their own. I remembered he threatened to feed me to the dragons if I do anything to hurt them."
"Dragons?!"
"The Wizarding World is a very mysterious place, Tsuna. So you'll have to expect the unexpected." Dino warned.
"...So why did Dino-san became a mafia boss?" Tsuna asked.
"Because I care for my family. I thought that, if I could, I should protect them." The blonde answered as he leaned against the gate.
"Even though it means using Ron-san and Mione-san as tools?"
Dino laughed, "So that's what it was about? We're definitely alike." Tsuna blinked. "When I was kid, I was actually estatic to become the next boss because I'll have my own mages but as I grew older, I learned the harsh life they'll suffer so I began refusing to take up the mantle. Once my dad passed away, I had no choice but to step up as boss after Reborn trained me. That was when I asked them."
"Ronald. Hermione." Dino called his two mages.
"Rare for you to call us by our names, Dino." Ron said as they apparated to him. "What's up?"
"...I'm about to take over Cavallone as the Tenth Generation Boss. That also means the start of your servitude." The two mages turned to each other, not knowing what this is about. "If possible, I didn't want to drag you two in as tools for the family but... in order for me to protect it, I need your help." His brown eyes narrowed in determination. "So will you help me?"
"...It goes without saying." Ron said as he ruffled his red hair.
"We wouldn't have agreed to be here if we weren't prepared." Hermione smiled.
"I was lucky to have them as comrades." Dino said before turning to him. "What about you?"
"...She's my most important and precious person..." Tsuna smiled. Dino smiled back before ruffling his hair as Felicia came out, telling them dinner's ready.
As the ending song starts, it shows Tsuna sitting on the grass looking at the sunset with wind blowing. Felicia by his left with reborn on her lap, both looking at the sunset as well.
Tsuna then closed his eyes as images of his friends appeared starting with Gokudera and ending with Kyoko.
As he opened his eyes, Felicia turned to him with a smile. Tsuna then turned to her with his smile. The both of them watched as Reborn hopped onto the Brit's shoulder before looking back to the sunset.
The next scene shows the teens standing up just as the screen panned to oversee Namimori and the evening sky, signifying the end of the song.
Whoo~ Finally Ron and Hermione has made their appearance! And my god, this is the sappiest chapter I have ever wrote... I was halfway through it when I realized how sappy it is but I'm like 'Fuck it! I'm already halfway done and I'm not stopping!'
So I figured I should have the Weasley be allied to the Cavallone since they're both surrogates to their respective heroes. Dino is Tsuna's Surrogate brother while the Weasley are the surrogate family to Harry before Sirius and Remus.
Next chapter will have another HP cast joining Shamal. I bet you guys will be surprised by this choice.
Until next time~
