Harry was having a wonderful dream.
He was down by the lake with his best friends, Hermione and Ron, just enjoying the warm weather. It was peaceful, no Snape stalking around, or Filch trying to bust a student. Nope, just a nice, quiet, and cloudless summer day.
But the best thing was that there were no crazy, insane people with weird hairstyles, explosives, and laughs running around, gravely endangering anyone within a 5 mile radius of them, whether with their volume or weapons. In Harry's now forever scarred brain, a day without them was even better than a lifetime without Voldemort. Now, if only life could be like this forever…
"VOOIII! I SAID, GIVE THAT FUCKING TOOTHBRUSH BACK, YOU SNOTTY BRAT!"
BAAAMMMM!
"Lambo does whatever he wants, old man!"
"WHO'S A FUCKING OLD MAN?!"
"Lambo, be nice! No snatching!"
"I won't give it back unless I-pin catches me!"
"GYOZA KEMPO!"
"Hey, that's cheating –"
BOOOM!
"GYAA!"
BBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
"H-hiee! Lambo! A-ah, Squalo-san?! EEHHH?! Please don't kill him, he didn't mean to steal your shark's toothbrush!"
"DIDN'T MEAN TO MY ASS, TRASH! HE FREAKING BARGED IN AND SNATCHED IT!"
"Now, now, Squalo, don't be like that. He's just a kid!"
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, FUCKING MORON!"
"W-WAIT! Squalo-san, your shark's destroying the tower!"
Harry just jinxed himself, didn't he.

Tsuna was having a horrifying nightmare.
He was in a beautiful garden with beautiful flourishing flowers, their sweet fragrance floating in the air around him. He was attired in one of his best suits, holding a tea cup and dish made from the finest china, seated at a fancy table, the kind used for afternoon tea parties. The sky was clear above him, a warm breeze ruffling Tsuna's fluffy brown hair, bringing with it the scent of spring.
All that was wonderful, but the ones that had caused his horror were the two people sitting across him.
Hibari and Mukuro.
It started normally enough, and it wasn't even Mukuro in the beginning. Instead, it was Chrome, acting very normal indeed, with nothing out of place. Hibari was the same, except for the fact that the demon prefect was actually being sociable and nice to someone. The two were having a pleasant conversation and, in Tsuna's point of view, looked very much like a happy couple, with nothing in the world to worry about.
That was when his dream took a turn for the worst.
The tell-tale mist foretelling Mukuro's arrival began to gather around Chrome until she was completely obscured in it. Hibari didn't seem to notice and continued to chat, actually addressing Tsuna at one point. The Tenth boss of Vongola seemed to still possess Hyper Intuition even in the Dream World, as he had a bad feeling.
It was some time later that the mist dissipated, after Tsuna was ready to shake Hibari's shoulders, demanding to know who he was, and where he'd hidden Hibari. But hell, having the real Hibari there to beat him into oblivion might've been better than witnessing who took Chrome's place.
As expected, Mukuro appeared, not a single strand sticking out of his forever immaculate pineapple hairstyle. It was odd enough that Hibari hadn't attacked the illusionist on sight, but Tsuna's attention was momentarily transfixed on the sparkling tiara on top of his Mist Guardian's head.
And the pink dress. And the sparkly pink high heels. And the stars and hearts that were popping up randomly. And even those freakishly perfect fingernails, painted hot pink.
Oh, hell no.
While Tsuna looked at his guardian was a mortified look on his face, Hibari seemed to perk up at the sight of 'Mukuro'. He immediately began conversing with his supposedly rival, getting more and more animated and un-Hibari-like. Were his eyes getting those Shounen-ai look? And was his voice getting higher?
Almost immediately, Tsuna's attention was wrenched from the two to the sparkling tiara sitting innocently on his Cloud Guardian's head, identical to Mukuro's.
One by one, various accessories began popping up, until Tsuna was on the verge of dying from terror.
Hibari was having a freaking tea-party was Mukuro, decked out in a purple dress, satin gloves, huge ass rings, and… and…
Fucking make-up.
Oh, the horror.
"NOOOOOOO!"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"NOOOOOOO!"
"Tsuna? Is something wrong?"
"Huh? Yamamoto?" Tsuna felt something wet dripping into his eyes, and he wiped it off to see porridge on his fingers. "Eh?"
Yamamoto grinned at his friend, rapidly spooning pudding onto his plate. "Yeah, yummy food they have here, right? That kid woke us up early for breakfast, and you fell asleep in your porridge!"
Tsuna stared at his friend in shock. "You didn't bother to wake me up?!"
"Nah," Yamamoto muttered through a mouthful of pudding. "You looked like you were having a nice dream."
'I'm surprised that I didn't drown,' Tsuna thought and groaned.
"Nice dream my ass," He grumbled. Yamamoto laughed, still spooning more and more pudding onto his plate until it looked like it was going to overflow. Tsuna wondered whether it was a good idea to have allowed Byakuran to influence Yamamoto with his sweet tooth all those years ago. Judging by the cavity inducing helping of pudding, no.
"So, what did you dream about? Or maybe who?" Yamamoto's grin became mischievous, bearing an eerie resemblance with Byakuran's. "Could that someone be Yuni?"
Tsuna almost choked on the toast he was half-heartedly chewing. His cheeks immediately flushed bright red, rivaling Ron's hair. Said boy looked at Tsuna from where he sat with Hermione and Harry.
"Yuni? Who's that?"
Hermione whacked him on the head for the umpteenth time that day and scolded him, "Don't be nosy and butt into other people's conversations!"
"Sorry, but I really want to know who this 'Yuni' is!" Ron whined, cowering under Hermione's glare. Her mood has been extremely unstable ever since being paired up with Malfoy, and Ron's constant immaturity wasn't helping to improve it.
"I must say that I'm curious too," Harry added, determinedly avoiding looking at the Vongola members for some reason. Tsuna couldn't help but notice his rumpled appearance, looking as though he had a nightmare the previous night, and he opened his mouth to ask when Yamamoto cut in.
"Oh, Yuni? She's Tsuna's girlfriend!"
If possible, Tsuna's face burned even hotter, and he felt like he had a life-threatening fever. He was on the verge of fainting as it is, with the amount of blood rushing into his cheeks. "Yamamoto!"
"A girlfriend? You actually have a girlfriend?" Ron asked rudely, with an incredulous look on his face. Again, Hermione's hand lashed out to whack him on the head again.
"N-NO! I mean, yes – err, not exactly… um, maybe?" The nearby Gryffindors gave Tsuna an odd look, obviously confused about his relationship status.
Harry ran a hand through his unruly black hair. "I'm seriously confused here. Would a straight answer kill you?"
Hermione felt sorely tempted to whack Harry at that moment, but she could tell that Harry was already in a relatively bad mood, so she left him alone, settling for chewing Ron out about his eating manners.
"Well, it's obvious that they like each other, but they're kind of stuck in the friend-zone," Yamamoto explained to the curious Gryffindor's.
"Yamamoto, my love life isn't something for you to just go off and start telling every single person about!" Tsuna banged his head on the wooden table, just about ready to rip his hair out. Part of the reason was because they really were stuck in the friend-zone, which Tsuna found extremely sad. And apparently, everyone felt the same.
Harry seemed to sympathize. "Tough luck, mate. Tough luck."
Tsuna lifted his head for a few seconds to look at Harry. "You have no idea."
"Is she cute?" Ron suddenly asked. Many sitting around them turned their heads curiously, obviously wanting to know the answer to that question as well. Tsuna's blush instantly returned by ten-fold, and Yamamoto didn't help when he once again proved himself incapable of keeping his mouth shut.
"I'd say yes, but she'll be arriving soon with some of our other friends, so you'll get the chance to see her today for yourself!"
"YAMAMOTO!"
"The Tenth told you to shut up, Baseball Nut!"
"I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE KYOKO!"
Tsuna bashed his head onto the wooden table, groaning, "Someone kill me now."
Followed by, "I WAS JUST JOKING!", when Mukuro and Xanxus eagerly readied their weapons with an evil glint in their eyes.
Hell, his life was bloody hell.

"So we'll be following you guys around, just to get an idea of this place," Reborn informed the Golden Trio as he sipped on his espresso, sitting on his usual seat, Tsuna's head. It truly was comfortable, with Tsuna's soft, abundant hair and all. It was even better than Dino's.
Harry glanced at his friend before nodding at Tsuna' group. "Sure, we don't mind. We have Care of Magical Creatures right now, so we'll have to go down to Hagrid's hut. You guys okay with that?"
"What are you even asking for? We're not some little princesses that can't walk," Gokudera scoffed, shoving past Harry. He started down the hill, only to pause and glare back at the trio. "Well? Aren't you going to lead the way?"
Hermione swelled with indignation, but she held her tongue when Harry gave her a look that clearly told her to not upset their guests. Ron snorted, but he still followed Harry as they made their way to Hagrid's hut, a few groups of Gryffindors and Slytherins (they were having Care of Magical Creatures with the Gryffindors) also heading in the same direction.
It couldn't be that bad, just a few hills blown away and stuff… right?
Yeah, right.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"Alright, let's get started!" Hagrid clapped his hands, gathering the students around him, including the Vongola's.
"I've prepared a little surprise for you all today," Hagrid announced happily, a wide grin on his face. Tsuna noticed that most of the students paled at the mention of a 'surprise', and that didn't escape the others. They weren't really worried, but Tsuna blanched as soon as he caught sight of Reborn's sadistic grin. He fervently prayed that Hagrid didn't bring some kind of monstrous creature, or Reborn would force him to fight it or something. Now that, was bad news.
Though they could already feel the cold dread inside of them, the students followed Haggrid as he went around to the back of the hut. There, they could see crates trembling wildly, as though something was trying to break out. And, judging by how much they were shaking, it was something that they did not want to meet any time soon.
"These here are something I bred myself," Hagrid said proudly, patting the crates with obvious affection, not even caring that whatever was inside could very likely kill him. Then again, maybe he had this kind of charming thingy going on, since monsters like Fluffy and Norbert adored him (spitting fire apparently doesn't count as a dangerous thing). "You'll be introduced to them right now!"
And before any of them could attempt to stop him from opening the crates - it was a really bad idea, Hagrid heaved the lids off with his enormous strength. "Alright then, round 'em up!"
If he really did expect for them to stop those creatures, then he was overestimating them by a lot. The creatures that burst out of the crates looked like pale, slimy deformed shell-less lobsters, with legs sticking out at odd angles. They were about six inches long and smelled strongly of rotten fish. It was a miracle that no one fainted. Sparks flew out of their ends every so often, and the crawlers used them to propel themselves forward a few inches. Some had stingers while some had suckers, which Harry guessed was for sucking blood.
"Aren't they just magnificent? These are Blast-Ended Skrewts! Try not to get hurt!" Hagrid said cheerfully, encouraging the Skrewts forward with a loud clap.
"Bloody hell, what are those?!" Ron yelped, quickly scrambling away with the rest of them from the lobster like creatures.
"I don't know! I've never come across anything that looks like them in the book's I've read about Magical Creatures!" Hermione cried, looking half-scared, half-irritated. Trust her to be worrying about her intelligence in the middle of a possible life-threatening situation.
In the meantime, while the Hogwart students were busy being scared shit-less by the Skrewts, Tsuna and co. were up in the trees, safe from the threat (?).
Tsuna was dancing crazily on his tree branch, using his epic mafia skills to keep his balance. "These wizards are crazy! Do they do this every day?!"
"We'll just have to beat them then, don't we?" Reborn grinned sadistically, the evil glint in his eyes already shooting warning signals.
"You're even crazier! I'm not suicidal enough to jump down there!"
"You may not be suicidal, but you care about your family, so get down there with them."
"What are talking about – Hieee! NO WAY!"
Tsuna was almost ready to become suicidal when he saw that Hibari had already jumped down eagerly, with Chrome following almost immediately (Tsuna guessed that Mukuro had contacted her. Probably saying how fun it would be to fight the Skrewt-thingies). Hibari was a blur of black and silver, plowing through the seemingly endless army of Skrewts with little to no effort. Chrome was right beside him, slamming the butt of her trident into the earth, summoning blazing columns of fire to consume the Skrewts. The creatures shrieked, both in anger and in pain, and the two Mafiosi scoured through their ranks.
And that, of course, set off a chain reaction.
"Tch, like I'm letting that bastard steal all the glory," Gokudera scoffed before he leaping off the tree to join the fight, stick of dynamites sizzling in between his fingers. Ryohei was not to be outdone, and he threw devastatingly powerful punches at the poor Skrewts. Yamamoto went with him, laughing as he said something along the lines of 'the people here are very interesting, aren't they'.
Hibari glared harshly at his so-called 'family', "These are my preys, herbivores."
"Now, now, don't be like that, we're a family! Everyone share, okay?" Yamamoto, the ever oblivious idiot, transformed his sword and cut down three Skrewts, leaving them alive but injured.
Hibari snorted, not very happy. He whipped out a dozen of his handcuffs, multiplying them in an instant, and tossed them at a huge wall of Skrewts. Whichever unlucky creature touched it was immediately bound from head to toe – erm, spikes to leg/claw? – and crushed into unconsciousness. Still not satisfied, Hibari successively shot Roll duplicates at the incoming Skrewts, blowing tens of them away. His fellow guardians sweat-dropped at the raging prefect before returning to their own battles (warm-up).
Lambo bawled as he clung onto a branch, thoroughly traumatized by all the scary 'monsters' he'd seen so far in Hogwarts. I-pin tried to calm him down, worried that he would fall off accidently and either brain himself or fall prey to the Skrewts.
The Varia was taking on the other half of the Skrewts, going through them just as quickly as the Guardians. Xanxus reclined in his royal chair, shoot lazily at the Skrewts, not even caring if he only missed his own subordinates by an inch. Unafraid, Squalo charged through the creatures, yelling for them to give him a better fight, all the while screaming at Xanxus for being so careless (YOU BURNED OFF A CENTIMETER OF MY HAIR, YOU FUCKTARD).
Lussuria was gladly fighting side-by-side with Ryohei, and they seemed to be competing against each other, seeing as they were shouting out the numbers of Skrewts they had knocked out. Needless to say, Ryohei was winning. No one (except for the other Vongola members), could stand his extremely loud voice, and Skrewts were not exempted from this. The creatures keeled left and right as the boxer hollered on and on with punches after punches.
Bel went on a crazy killing-spree, slashing at anything that was moving with his knives (and no, he didn't see his own blood, but he was still happy to be cutting something). His usual psychotic grin was present, undeterred by all the strangely colored blood that was splattering onto his clothes. Sitting in the middle of Bel's frenzy was Fran, simultaneously insulting and attacking the Skrewts with real illusions while dodging the occasional knives that flew his way. As far as he was concerned, there was no reason to get serious when Bel was just playing around.
"Ah, watch it, sempai. Your aim's getting worse and worse every day."
"You watch it, Frog. I was aiming at you anyways."
"Shouldn't you be stabbing them instead of me? You have too much time on your hands… ow, that hurt, sempai."
"Ushishishi, Frogs shouldn't lie. Especially to royalty."
"I'm still waiting for the day when I finally meet a real royalty."
"You're going to die today."
"No way, phony."
"Ka-ching~"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
"What on earth…"
The students of Hovgwarts looked on in both awe and fear at their supposed 'teachers' go crazy.
"Holy shit, are they…" Collins gaped, camera gripped limply in his hands. He was too shocked to even remember why he even followed Harry's group here – to stalk the newcomers and get some pictures. Yep, ever passionate.
"Crazy?" A boy behind him offered.
"They're crazy personified," Harry sighed to Ron, Shielding Charm up to protect the students from the flying Skrewts, trees, dirt, and the likes. Geez, weren't they overdoing this?
Hermione held up her own wand and assisted Harry's charm. "I'll have to agree with that one. They're going to either drive poor Hagrid crazy or give him a heart attack."
"Hagrid?" Ron asked, tearing his gaze away from the one-sided fight to look at Hermione. "What about him?"
Neville had a worried look on his face, and he pointed his finger, presumably in the direction of the half-giant. "She might mean that he's quite… distraught at the moment."
And indeed, Hagrid was crying out at the sight of his 'precious' pets being beaten around. "'Ey! You guys are taking this too far! You're hurting 'em!"
Nobody had the heart to tell Hagrid that his pets were more likely to hurt them, not the other way around. Well, that is, if you're not counting the Slytherins.
"I'm telling you, Hogwarts should've kicked that oaf out of here all the way back in second year. Bloody idiot made a hippogriff bite me. Almost thought that I would have to get it amputated," Draco Malfoy sniggered with his friends, acting so overly dramatic that Ron muttered something about a drama queen. And apparently, Hermione agreed. (That he was overly dramatic, not, you know, that Hagrid was inept).
"Get over it, Malfoy," She huffed at him, arms crossed over her chest. "It healed within a week. You're making yourself look ridiculous by acting like a spoiled brat."
Blood immediately rushed to Malfoy's pale face, and Harry could only be glad that Hagrid wasn't there to hear the two's arguments, being too busy trying to save his pets. Speaking of which, the half-giant was about to get himself killed.
"I'm tellin' ya! You're going too far!"
With all the gallantry in his Gryffindor heart, Hagrid had grabbed one of Hibari's tonfas, stopping it from hitting the Skrewt the prefect had targeted. All the same, the creature was effectively scared off, and it scrambled away as quickly as it could. Hagrid just barely managed to not drop the weapon and howl from the pain stinging in his hands. That boy hit damn hard.
Hibari's eyes narrowed threateningly at Hagrid, ripping his tonfa out of Hagrid's grip with inhuman strength. He immediately settled into a fighting position. Roll would be enough to keep the Skrewts from getting in his way. "For interrupting my fight," He spat. "I'll bite you to death."
Hagrid nervously stepped back, having seen the hostile glint in Hibari's eyes. Even when he towered over the teen, he still felt significantly smaller under his wrathful glare. "W-wait, can't we just talk it out first?"
But Hibari didn't make any inclination of stopping, and he tensed, just a second away from lashing out when there was an audible snap.
"Hibari. We're guests here."
To be specific, the very audible snap of Tsuna's patience.
Hibari remained in his stance and scowled at Tsuna, but at least he hadn't started a bloody massacre yet. "Guests are not attacked by monsters. These impudent herbivores will be bitten to death."
"No," Tsuna said, arms crossed in front of his chest. He didn't waver under Hibari's death glare. "Enough is enough."
"I don't take orders –"
"I'm not ordering you. I'm telling you that if you don't stop right now, you'll be doing my paperwork for the next six months. With no help."
That shut Hibari up. He was more of an action person (you know, just doing the usual, biting people to death, burning a place down, etc. Just typical mafia stuff). Hibari Kyoya didn't sit behind a desk all day, being swamped by paperwork. That would drive him insane (or even more than he already was). Normally he would just shove the paperwork into the willing arms of his loyal subordinate, Kusakabe, but he knew that Tsuna would be keeping a close watch on who did the work. And, if he was caught not doing the work, the punishment would be doubled.
Hibari reluctantly retracted his tonfas, snarling at Tsuna, "Don't think that I'll let you get away with this. I'll pay you back, one way or another."
Tsuna smiled cheerfully, his chilling aura gone. "I know you will. As for the rest of you…"
The guardians (and Varia) gulped as the aura returned full blast.
"For every Skrewt you guys have harmed, or even touched," He paused, glaring at his fidgeting family. "You will do one stack of paperwork. And Xanxus, I will know if your squad doesn't do them."
Turning to Hagrid, Tsuna asked him nonchalantly, "How many Skrewts were there?"
"A-around two hundred, sir," Hagrid stuttered. He could feel cold sweat rolling down his back. It felt weird for him to be calling a petite boy 'sir', but Tsuna's earlier display showed that he was someone to be feared.
Tsuna turned back to his family, happy/evil grin on his face. "Well, well, what do you know? I'm starting to love this trip! Don't forget that I still have some more paperwork in the other bases, so you guys won't have to worry about me running out of paperwork to give." He ignored their horrified expressions and continued, "You guys can divide up the work when we get back."
For a moment, there was nothing but silence as the thoughts of being stuck for weeks, or even months in their offices doing paperwork ran through the Vongola members' minds, but that was broken when Neville fell off the tree he had been hiding in.
"Gee, way to ruin the mood, Neville," Ron muttered to his friend as he helped him up.
"How'd he even get up there?" Harry came over to help steady Neville when the poor boy stumbled, having accidently hit his head on the ground.
Hermione soon popped up as well, having already put Malfoy down with selected sharp words. "I'm glad that that's all over now, but we should probably do something about that."
'That' meant the depressed guardians, curled up with a miserable aura exuding from them. That is, except for Hibari, who was already rampaging through the forest. Chrome had disappeared to who-knows-where, probably having been taken over by Mukuro and gone off to annoy the irritated Skylark.
The Varia had decided to take the violent approach. Xanxus was, of course, taking his anger out on Squalo, pulling the man's long hair. Bel was tossing knives at Fran, throwing much harder than usual, goaded on by the boy's increasingly infuriating comments. Lussuria was… trying to comfort the others, being the Sun he was. And yes, he was a Sun, no matter how creepy he could be sometimes (at least he wasn't randomly kidnapping hot dudes and keeping their corpses… in public).
Only Tsuna was unaffected. In fact, he looked positively radiant, as though the weight of the world had been taken off his shoulders. Yeah, paperwork was definitely his worst enemy. "You can continue with your lesson, Hagrd-san. I'll make sure that they - "
Cue evil glare.
"Don't disturb you."
Hagrid wiped his eyebrow with the sleeve of his enormous coat. "O-oh, yes, thank you. Alrighty then, it's a good thing that I have another surprise prepared for you guys. Don't worry," He added upon seeing the students' terrified expressions (for once). "It's completely harmless. I think that it might even be a new species! I found it just the other day, wandering around injured. I'll just go an' fetch him."
He strode away to get another crate, but this one wasn't shaking like the Skrewts' had. "You guys might want to stand back a bit. You might scare him, crowding around like that."
Taking his advice, all the students gave Hagrid and his 'new species' a wide berth, some even fingering their wands.
"Alright, here we go!"
Silence.
Tsuna was the first to break the silence. "Levi?!"
And indeed it was the Varia's Lightning flame user! Sure, he looked ghastly with the twigs and leaves stuck in his hair, tattered clothes, and dirt smudging his face, but it was unmistakably Levi. The moustache kind of gave it away too, and the Mafiosi didn't know anyone uglier.
"You know what kind of species he is?" Hagrid asked in surprise, giving Levi a once over. "Never heard of a Levi though…"
Tsuna sweat-dropped. He still thought that Levi was a Magical Creature? "Oh, um, no. He's actually one of our friends…"
"That embarrassment's no friend of ours," Bel stuck his tongue out childishly, still sitting on Fran (he wasn't going to get his princely pants dirty). Fran stuck his hand up in agreement, face still pressed into the earth by Bel. "Yup, never seen that perverted old man before."
Squalo just ignored them, still wallowing in despair, and Xanxus didn't really care. Besides, since when has he cared?
"Oh, come on, don't say that. Let's all be nice!" Yamamoto laughed, sitting up from his fetal position. They ignored him.
Lambo, however, danced right over to Levi. "Hey, it's Levi-idiot! Watcha doin' here? You look like crap!"
Levi was apparently still sore about the Ring Battle three, almost four years ago. "Why you - you shitty brat!"
Lambo yelped, barely dodging Levi's lunge. He avoided the next few assaults, but tripped on a rock in the process of running away. "Gah!"
"You're not getting away now, you brat!" Levi growled, grabbing a fistful of Lambo's curly hair (he lost the afro). The boy squirmed in his grasp, failing his limbs. "PUT ME DOWN, IDIOT!" Lambo bawled.
Hermione was enraged by Levi's rough treatment (um, understatement, girl. Try assassination attempt). She drew her wand and pointed it angrily at the Varia officer. "You can't treat a kid like that! Put him down!"
"You tell him, old lady!"
Even the kind Hermione couldn't help but twitch at that. She yelled angrily, "I'm not old!"
"Hey, I was just saying, old lady!"
"!"
Harry and Ron both had to hold Hermione back from jinxing the poor kid.
"What happened to saving him?" Ron questioned, leaning back to avoid having his face smashed in by Hermione's fist.
Harry sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, mate – Hey, watch the glasses!"
Meanwhile, Lambo was getting quite impatient with being held immobile by Levi. Said man was also motionless, as he'd caught sight of Xanxus, and was 'mesmerized' by his 'beauty'. Bleh.
Lambo finally lost his patience (if it ever existed), and his hair started sparking. "F-fine! If none of your guys are going to save me, then I'll do it myself!"
Tsuna immediately caught onto what Lambo was going to do. "Wait, Lambo! Don't do it!"
Too late. "Die, Levi-idiot! Beef Bowl!"
Levi was shook out of his trance when a sparking bull charged at him and sendt him flying, breaking a couple of his ribs in the process. He collapsed into an incoherent heap after crashing through several dozen trees and a few large boulders. "Ugh, damn… brat…"
"Hieee! Lambo, I told you, don't use your box weapon!" Tsuna freaked out, somehow scolding Lambo at the same time.
"Hey, it's not my fault!" Lambo protested, pouting up at his brother figure. "Levi-idiot attacked me first, and you guys didn't even come save me!
Tsuna suddenly felt guilty, and he dropped his head. "T-that's true… sorry?"
"I'll only forgive you 'cause I'm nice," Lambo huffed, putting 'Beef Bowl' back into his box when the bull came back.
Tsuna finally looked up, but he wished that he hadn't. The clearing was smoking and completely devastated from his guardians (and Varia) rampaging, complete with uprooted trees and flaming bushes. He could only weep at the imaginary bill he was sure that Dumbledore would charge him. "Why? Why is it always me?!"
Tsuna probably would've continued crying until there was a new river, but a familiar voice shocked him out of his depression fit.
"Well, isn't this quite a mess."
Tsuna almost got a whip-lash with the speed he looked up. "Y-YUNI?!"
And indeed it was the Arcobaleno princess, blue eyes bright and amused. Yuni smiled brightly at him, her mushroom hat, for once, not present. "It's nice to see you all again, Sawada-san."
