Harry Leferts
More then a little disturbed by what they had found, Fubuki kept looking back at the surviving portion of the house. "Well... that was freaky..."
Yuudachi only nodded as she swallowed and tried to rub the goosebumps on her arms. "Poi..."
At the same time, Natsumi was still shivering some as she kept a hold on Harry's arm until another arm around her shoulders caused her to blink and look over at Imuya who was now on her otherside. "Hey, relax, everything's going to be okay."
When she glanced at Harry, she got a nod from him. "That's right, dess!"
Relaxing some, the disguised kitsune let out a breath. "Yeah... though that was really something out of a horror movie, Harry-Chan." Getting a shrug from him and Imuya's arm giving her a comforting squeeze, Natsumi continued to move until they were closed to the fortified building. Made of stone, it rose up and Natsumi craned her head back to look at it. "It... looks like a house..."
All Harry did was nod as he frowned. "Yeah... If I remember correctly, that's what it is really."
Her eyes running over it, Mutsuki tapped her finger against her chin. "How thick are those walls, Harry-Chan?"
It took a moment of thought and each of the shipgirls giggled at the expression on Harry's face. If he had been a shipgirl, they would have been sure that he was flipping through a logbook before he nodded. "Um... really thick stone from memory."
Beside him, Imuya was looking through her cellphone and then nodded. "It says here that these sort of things had one meter thick walls of stone because of the fighting between Scotland and England at the time that they were built."
Natsumi blinked at that and tried to look at the cellphone. "Wait, there was fighting between England and Scotland? Really?"
With a nod, Yuudachi threw a hand into the air. "Yeah, like that movie that we watched... Braveheart, Poi!"
Unsure if she was pulling her leg or not, Natsumi looked towards Harry who nodded as he scratched his head. "Um... well, yeah, England and Scotland fought each other at times. It was for different reasons, just like how back in Japan you had areas of Japan fighting others way back." Suddenly, he smiled a bit as he noticed that Nagato was at the lock and had pulled out a key that even now she was working into it. "Mum?"
A slight smile on her face, Nagato gave him a nod. "The Headmaster was keeping the key on him." There was a click as the lock opened and she pulled it off. "Now then, let's have a look inside..."
Opening the doors, she stepped in followed by the others only to blink in the darkness. Soon though, the darkness was dispelled as fairies appeared on the shipgirl's shoulders with lanterns that slowly let them see around them with Mutsuki looking around inside and then poking her head outside the building. "It's bigger on the inside!"
Lips twitching, Imuya hummed. "That's what she said."
Confused, Yuudachi turned towards her. "But that is what she said."
Unable to help herself, Imuya grinned. "You're right!'
Shaking her head at the byplay, the Battleship internally sighed before gesturing for Harry to walk towards her as Natsumi finally let go of his arm and walked towards some furniture that was piled up. "Harry? Come here for a moment."
Once he got to her, he blinked up towards his mother with a confused expression on her face. "Yes, Mum?"
For a moment, Nagato looked around before she placed her hand onto his shoulder and several of her fairies came out of her sleeves to walk onto her son's shoulder. Several of them had lanterns in their hands, though one or two were carrying a rifle as they looked around. At his expression, Nagato shook her head. "Just to be safe, now... there was something that Dumbledore mentioned..."
Head tilting to the side, Harry frowned some. "Something that he mentioned?"
Striding forwards, Nagato looked around until she found a stand and walked towards it. "Ah, here we go..." She nodded towards a book that was there with a slight smile on her face. "It's a list of items in here, some of them have numbers and if you put it in the book will tell you what they are with a description about them."
Eyes wide, Harry walked up to the stand and, with a trembling hand, opened the thick, heavy book before also taking the quill that was there. With a frown, Harry furrowed his eyebrows. "There's no writing..."
With a slight frown, Nagato nodded. "Apparently you have to write in it before the words show up..."
Taking the book, Harry suddenly chuckled a bit. "I kind of feel like Hachi now."
Imuya snorted at that even as she grinned. "Walking around with a thick, heavy magical book? You really do, you even got the glasses."
As they began to walk, Harry looked around the large area which had piles of items. Here and there were what clothes that were on stands, though one of them Natsumi tilted her head at as she ran a finger along it. "What's a leather coat being here... and it looks really weird."
Eyebrows furrowing, Harry glanced at what he guessed was the number and then wrote it down in the book. The numbers vanished before the ink reappeared with a short description. "It's a buff coat that belonged to... Erik Potter. It says here that he fought in the Thirty Years War in it and it's made of dragon hide of a dragon his father slew."
Jogging to a spot, Yuudachi gestured at a tapestry. "What about this, Poi?"
A small smile on his face, Harry wrote the number down and nodded. "It's a tapestry from... the continental side of my family. According to this, they got it from Rome?"
Slowly, the various shipgirls drifted apart slightly as they continued to examine the various items until Natsumi noticed an alcove with a large cupboard. Inside, there were several weapons such as swords, spears, and various daggers. Curious, Natsumi looked at one of the items before calling out to Harry. "Are these safe to look at?"
Looking over, Harry frowned and looked at the book before nodding. "They are, none of them are cursed."
Harry was then called over by Mutsuki who was looking at some jewelry as Natsumi looked at the various weapons in question. One of them, a dagger, looked really old which caused her to lean in before reaching up. Deftly taking it from the hook it hung from, she looked at it from various angles before blowing off the dust. Sneezing, Natsumi shook it off before unsheathing the dagger and looking at it. "Wow..."
Unnoticed by her, Fubuki had walked into view of the alcove and blinked as all there was in it was shadows. Scratching her head, the Destroyer walked past and so missed Natsumi reappearing as she sheathed the dagger. 'I could have thought that she was here...' Suddenly, there was a gasp and Fubuki turned to find Harry frozen in front of a mirror. Quickly, she made her way over and, from the angle she was at, frowned. The glass of the mirror was pitch black and seemed to absorb light. The rim of it looked like it was carved from either bone or ivory of some kind and glistened in the low light of the lanterns though what was carved into it caused a shiver to run up Fubuki's keel. At the top there was a cloaked skeleton and at various parts there were other clothed skeletons. One looked like a priest, one dressed like a king, there was one in a dress and so must have been a woman, and a final one that was in clothing that Fubuki thought looked like the clothing that peasents wore in various movies with knights. What really creeped her out was how in the dancing light of the lanterns, they seemed to be moving in a slow dance. "Harry-Chan?"
It was then that Fubuki came into full view of the mirror and choked back a scream.
Because instead of there being a reflection of Harry in it, there was a rotting skeleton with clumps of black hair that clung to it's skull and decaying clothing. Then she noticed her own reflection and that time she did let out a scream as she backed up. The others rushed over and Fubuki just stared frozen at the image of her wreck as it rested on the ocean floor staring back at her, rust falling from it in a rain of decay. "Wha-what the..."
Licking his lips, Harry took note of the label and looked into the book. "T-the Mirror of Memento Mori, crafted by Catherine Potter to remind those who look into it's depths that they will one day die and that death comes for all. According to this, it's harmless and just illusions...."
A shiver ran across Fubuki's skin as she just grabbed Harry and steered him away. "O-oh... l-let's just move on then..."
With a nod, Harry gulped. "Y... yeah, that sounds good..."
More then a little disturbed by what they had found, Fubuki kept looking back at the surviving portion of the house. "Well... that was freaky..."
Yuudachi only nodded as she swallowed and tried to rub the goosebumps on her arms. "Poi..."
