AN: Hey everyone, I'm back! Here's a new chapter of Harry Potter and the Power of Destruction.

Edit: I edited this chapter after some concerns about Hermione initially having Forbidden Balor View. So I changed it.

Chapter 6: Scissors and Fresh Blood

"W-w-w-what?" Hermione asks me in disbelief, her face as red as Mum's hair. "G-g-g-girlfriend?"

"Yes Hermione. I didn't realize earlier, but while we were at home I talked to Dad a little about it," I reply.

FLASHBACK

"Dad?" I call. Hermione is currently talking to Valerie-onee-chan and Saber.

"Yes Harry?" he asks.

"I-I have this weird feeling," I explain. His face grows serious.

"Is there a trigger?" he asks.

"W-well, it happens whenever I look at Hermione," I reply, a blush rising. I see him raise his eyebrows.

"I see. Well Harry, it's nothing to be worried about. In fact, it's like this…"

FLASHBACK END

"Basically," I explain, "he told me to ask you out. That, and some extremely embarrassing stuff that I won't ever repeat out loud ever."

"Y-you're not joking? You really mean it?" she asks nervously. I nod in response. Without warning, she walks up to me and slaps me hard on my right cheek. As my cheek reddens, I stare at her in disbelief.

"Y-y-y-you IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WAITED FOR YOU TO ASK? I'VE LIKED YOU SINCE YOU SAVED ME FROM THE TROLL LAST YEAR!" Hermione screams, her face red, eyes brimming with tears.

"Hermione?" I call. She doesn't hear it.

"I SHOULD GIVE YOU A GOOD BEATING FOR BEING SO DENSE! I-I-I-I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO BE ANGRY AT YOU OR HAPPY!" she screams, tears flowing down her face. Slowly walking up to her, I engulf her into a hug. As she lets out her tears, I stand still, gently patting her back. I really am no good with crying girls.

We stand there for quite a while. Hermione's tears start to slow, and eventually she stops, sniffling as she wipes the last few away.

"Are you alright, Hermione?" I ask. She looks up at me, a smile on her face.

"I'm fine, Harry. After all, I'm Harry Potter's girlfriend!" she declares confidently. Out of the blue we erupt into full-blown laughter.

We find ourselves outside Professor Dumbledore's office, after explaining the events in the Chamber. Well, for the most part. I left out binding Medusa as a familiar and the whole thing with Hermione. I walk up to Lucius Malfoy.

"Here Mr. Malfoy, this is yours," I say, handing him the diary.

"Dobby, take this," he commands the poor guy, thrusting it into his hands. Dobby stares at me. I nod. Slowly opening the book, he finds the sock I placed inside earlier to free the poor guy.

"Master has given Dobby clothes," Dobby says. Lucius Malfoy swirls around.

"What!" he yells.

"Master has given Dobby clothes. Dobby is FREE!" the excited elf yells. Lucius Malfoy stares at me in fury.

"You brat! You cost me my servant!" he yells, whipping out his wand. Before he can fire off a spell, Dobby appears between us.

"You shall not harm Harry Potter!" he declares, snapping his fingers. With House Elf magic, he sends his former master flying into a wall. As his form crumples, Dobby turns to me.

"Harry Potter freed Dobby. He has kept his promise. Is there anything Dobby can do to repay him?" the elf asks me.

"Yeah, there is. Just…don't try to save me ever again," I say.

"Of course, Harry Potter sir," he replies.

"Now, then. I, Harry James Potter, son of Count James Charlus Potter, scion of the Pillar House Potter of the 73 Pillars, hereby take the House Elf Dobby as my own personal House Elf, so Mote it Be!" I yell, magic glowing behind us. As the glow, subsides, I see Dobby's outfit has changed. He's now wearing a Muggle-style butler suit with the Potter crest proudly displayed on the left breast.

"I look forward to working with you Dobby. Now, you can head back to the manor. I'll call you when I need you. Alright?" I ask. Nodding, he apparates away.

So it's currently the beginning of summer vacation. Ron and the Weasleys went to Egypt, and Hermione and I are in the Underworld at the manor training. To our surprise, we found that Hermione has a Sacred Gear as well. It revealed itself when we were sparring, and I backed her into a corner. To my surprise, she was suddenly able to read my movements and strike back quickly. Not only that, but she learned at an impossible speed! It's like she was copying me! When we asked about it, we were told that Hermione's Sacred Gear is something called the Sharingan. Or at least, that's what Granddad called it. So now Saber and Valerie are training her, helping her figure out how to use it while I'm sparring with Shirou, as he's the best person to teach me dual-wielding. That, and he's been helping me figure out Dark Impetus's abilities. From what he says, Dark Impetus has two main abilities, one for each blade. The left blade's ability is similar to that of Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, Gáe Bolg, in that it changes causality to hit vital points. The right blade, on the other hand, reminds him of Bazett Fraga McRemitz's Noble Phantasm, Fragarach, in that it changes causality to prevent an opponent's most powerful attack from hitting, instead causing the blade to strike the opponent.

Mid-spar, I feel it. The pull of a summoning. I signal for Shirou to stop. Quickly dispelling Dark Impetus, I run to Dad's study.

"Dad!" I yell, bursting in. He looks up from his computer.

"Yes Harry?" he asks.

"Just letting you know I'm being summoned, and so I'll be back in a bit," I explain. He nods in understanding. Running out of the room, I dash into my own study. Closing the door, I create a teleportation circle. As the world fades to white, I wonder who summoned me.

As the world regains color, I find myself falling. And fast. Quickly unfolding my wings, I grab the summoner, a teenage girl in front of me, and fly out of the trench.

"Wha-who are you?" the girl stammers.

"What do you mean? You summoned me," I reply.

"I summoned you? What do you mean, summoned?" she asks in confusion. I sigh. So it's an accidental summon, eh?

"Since this place is chaotic, I'll give you the brief version. Basically, I'm a Devil from a parallel world. You summoned me here because you, consciously or otherwise, wanted a wish granted by me," I explain. She nods.

"I guess the one wish I have is to have Senketsu and the Scissor Blades tou-chan left me back. They're very important to me," she explains. I look at her in confusion.

"Well, for me to grant that, I need to know what they are. As a Devil, one of my abilities is to peek into your head, but I can only do so with your permission. Let me into your head. Focus on what you want. I'll take care of the rest," I instruct. She nods. I invoke demonic power, willing my power to reach into her mind. In her head, I see Senketsu, a talking sailor uniform, and the Scissor Blades. Well, this wish is easy enough to grant. Retreating from her mind, I call upon my demonic power to search the world for the remaining fragments of Senketsu, as well as for the Scissor Blades. Once I find them, I begin to collect them. Slowly but surely, Senketsu comes first, the microscopic fragments originally scattered across the globe brought together purely by my will. Once all the fragments are collected, I focus on the blades. Finding them in the stratosphere, I pull them down towards us, finally placing the pair of giant scissors in her hands. Looking to the girl, I see her eyes closed, her face scrunched up in concentration.

"Ano…you can open your eyes now, I'm done," I call. She opens her eyes gently, and then looks down. Then she looks at me, her eyes tearing up. Oh great. Yet another crying girl. Is my life filled with them?

"You…you really did it? Senketsu!" she says, crying in happiness.

"Eh? How am I…still in one piece? And who is wearing me…tears? Wait…these tears are…Ryuko!" I hear a male voice say.

"Senketsu! You're awake!" the girl, Ryuko, I think her name is, exclaims.

"It is good to see you, Ryuko. No doubt you missed me. But how am I still alive?" the voice asks her.

"Ano…is that Senketsu talking?" I ask. Her head snaps upward, her eyes widening.

"You…you can hear Senketsu?" she asks.

"Um…yeah. Is that such a big deal, Ryuko-san?" I ask.

"Never mind that Ryuko. I sense the presence of Life Fibers around you. I believe your friends are in trouble. You ready, Ryuko?" Senketsu asks her.

"Let's do this Senketsu!" she yells, pulling the knob off of the weird red glove on her left hand. As she does so, Senketsu envelopes her in fabric, weird stars shining intermittently.

"LIFE FIBER SYNCRONIZE: KAMUI SENKETSU!" she yells, emerging from the cocoon in what could be the most revealing outfit I've ever seen on a girl. My face reddens.

"W-w-w-what the heck's up with that outfit?" I stammer, blushing madly. She stares at me.

"Oh! I had the same reaction the first time, but I got used to it. By the way, what's your name kid? How old are you anyway?" she asks, unfazed by the skimpiness of the outfit.

"I-I-I'm Harry. Harry Potter. I'm 12," I reply, still blushing.

"Well then Harry, watch this," she tells me, jumping towards the chaos, Scissor Blades in hand, leaving a crater behind. Before my eyes, the Scissor Blades fold out, becoming bigger and bigger, until they look big enough to cut the entirety of Hogwarts in half. Channeling demonic power, I observe the fight.

"Take this, Hououmaru! Sen-i-soshitsu!" she yells, slicing the weird phantoms to bits. I see red thread-like things emerge from the phantoms. To my amazement, they are suddenly absorbed by Senketsu, who reverts to his base form. Finally, a normal-looking outfit. As the dust clears, I see a group of people running towards Ryuko-san. One girl in particular seems like a teenage version of Rose. All's well that ends well, I guess. Now time to collect payment. Pulling out my phone, I open the required app and input Ryuko-san's wish. After a moment, the app prints out the acceptable payments. There's only one. Well then, I guess I get a new peerage member, eh?

"Oy! Harry!" I hear Ryuko-san yell, much to her friends' confusion. Best to put them out of their misery. Flapping my wings, I fly over to the group and will myself to descend to the ground. As her friends watch in amazement, I land gently, folding my wings away.

"Guys, this is Harry. He's the reason why Senketsu and the Scissor Blades are back," Ryuko-san explains.

"It wasn't that hard, I guess," I muse, chuckling sheepishly. As her friends stare at me, jaws hanging, I turn to Ryuko-san.

"Ryuko-san," I call. She turns to face me.

"What's up?" she asks.

"There's still the issue of payment for your wish," I explain sadly. She frowns.

"So? What's acceptable payment?" she asks.

"Let me explain something, Ryuko-san. High-Class Devils like me have things called peerages. Peerages battle each other in Rating Games which determine a High-Class Devil's social standing. We can reincarnate humans and others into Devils so they can join our peerages. With me so far?" I explain.

"That makes sense. So what does that have to do with me?" she asks.

"Well, basically the acceptable payment for your wish is to be reincarnated and join my peerage," I explain.

"That's it?" she asks.

"The thing is, I'm from a parallel world, so you'll have to come back with me, so…" I trail off. She quickly realizes the problem.

"If someone is willing, can I bring them with me?" Ryuko-san asks finally.

"Of course it's possible. I assume you want to bring the people here?" I ask. She nods. I begin to chuckle at Mum's reaction to Senketsu's transformed state.

"What's so funny?" she asks.

"Oh nothing. I'm just picturing my mother's reaction to Senketsu's transformation. I'm also picturing my sister's reaction to your brown-haired friend over there. They seem to have similar personalities," I explain, smiling.

"Oh, Mako? Well, how old is your sister anyway?" Ryuko-san asks.

"Five," I reply simply. At this, Ryuko-san cracks up.

"HAHAHAHA! Mako-ha reminds you of-haha your five year old sister!" she wheezes, as the others chuckle as well, having heard the comment. I see said girl pout in a childlike fashion.

"Well then," I begin, pulling out my Evil Pieces, "time to reincarnate you, Ryuko-nee-chan."

I decide to forcibly redirect our teleport to the dining room, where everyone else should be having dinner. After I reincarnated Ryuko-nee-chan as my first Pawn, I waited for everyone to gather their belongings, and then we teleported home.

As we appear in the dining hall, I see Mum get up to greet me. "Welcome back…Harry?" she asks, noticing my companions, "who're they?"

"Everyone," I call, "allow me to introduce Matoi Ryuko, my first Pawn, and her friends, who wanted to come with her," I say, looking around to observe everyone's reactions. But before I can continue, I hear three words that make me start shaking in fear.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER!"

AN: So yeah, that's the new chapter. Basically, Harry gets a girlfriend and a new Pawn. I know I didn't change much from canon in Dumbledore's office, but trust me, things have changed. I will be addressing what happens in that section in flashbacks where the content is relevant. As for the Kill la Kill section, this chapter takes place during the OVA (the unaired 25th episode), except that when Ryuko is falling into the ditch, instead of Senketsu sending her the Scissor Blades, she accidentally summons Harry instead. So yeah.

Third year won't start for at least a couple chapters, as I want to have some training mixed in so the characters don't seem to suddenly become overpowered. And yes, I did clearly state Harry's abilities, but all bets are off when he unlocks Balance Breaker. And before you ask, Harry won't be the only one reincarnating people. Future chapters will reveal some of James's peerage as well. In addition, some characters will eventually unlock the equivalent of Vali's Juggernaut Overdrive (I'll call it something else though.)

Also, take a look at my story Plot Bunnies and Omakes for omakes from all my fics. The latest one is from this fic, so go check it out!

Anyway, until next time!
