Harry Leferts
With a sigh, Harry looked over the small amount of luggage since he had gotten permission to leave the school for the weekend and head back to Yokosuka. Lips twitching, he gave an internal sigh, 'I am happy that there's a school rule that allows students to leave for reasons like Sumire's birth... But not so happy that it was because of Pureblood politics and they had never meant for anyone but them to be able to use them.'
Giving it a few more moments of thought, Harry turned towards the small chest he had there as well. Inside were ingots of steel that he had made from the cauldrons in the Room of Requirement. At this point, he was pretty certain that his children's children could well be working on such. But he continued because it was simple work and he could lose himself into the repetitive motions of it. At the same time though, the ones in the chest before him were for a special project indeed. One that he poured his focus and feelings into...
Shinano's upcoming Rebuild.
Upon having heard about it, even a few weeks before, he had gotten started right away at working on making sure that the metal was available. And he had worked hard at making sure to have enough. Though, looking at the bars, he could just see a slight color difference in spots of the bars. Differences that he knew the reason for which drew his mind back to just before he had left Yokosuka when White Plains had taken him aside...
*******************************
Blinking, Harry tilted his head at the Escort Carrier with a small frown, "Um, White Plains? Why did you ask me to come here for a private talk?"
The small shipgirl glanced to where Shinano was talking with Regina and turned back to him, "You know that Shinano is going to be undergoing her Kai Rebuild, right?"
Still confused, Harry nodded, "I do as a matter of fact, she mentioned it to me." A light blush came to his cheeks and he scratched the back of his neck, "And, um... she asked that I help out with it by holding her hand."
Giggling, White Plains nodded, "That does sound like Shinano. I also know you well enough that you will be doing so as well." Once she got a nod, she became serious, "I can also guess from how well that I know you, that you will be making bars of metal to be used in the rebuild, correct?" At being caught, Harry's blush deepened, "Ha, I knew it."
Embarrassed, the thirteen year old wizard glanced at Shinano, "Um... is that an issue?"
However, White Plains only shook her head, "No, no, it's not a problem at all." Placing her hands on her hips, she gave him a happy smile, "In fact, I'm glad that you're going to do this for Shinano. Mainly because of what it would mean to her..."
Confused, Harry scratched his head, "Um, okay?"
Shaking her head, the Momboat for the Yamatos glanced at her "Daughter" and turned back to Harry, "That said, I have a small favor to ask of you." At his nod, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a large box, "I want you to add these to those bars of steel." When he went to take it, she shook her head, "Use one of those spells to lighten things first... and maybe to shrink it."
Now interested, Harry opened the box and blinked at what was inside. Because there were metal shavings as well as nuts and bolts with pieces of metal. His eyes widened though at recognizing what they were and he looked up at the serious Escort Carrier, "Are these..."
With a slow nod, White Plains smiled softly, "Pieces from myself? They are." Giving Shinano another glance, she turned back to Harry and continued, "I asked Miss Akashi to save some of the pieces when I get repaired after a battle. I've also had my crew remove some of the nuts and bolts before I go into the Repair Baths. Since they get replaced anyways..." With a small shrug, she smiled at Harry, "I'd like you to add these to the metal bars for Shinano's rebuild. Maybe they can help her since I want her to be able to do her best and protect those that she cares for."
Feeling a lump in his throat, the thirteen year old Wizard shrunk the metal down and placed it into his pocket, "I will..."
*******************************************
And he had as a matter of fact done as asked, which gave an odd look to the bars. When he looked at them on the spiritual level, said bars had a slight glow to them as well. Something that when he touched the glow, he could almost feel White Plains' love and care for her adoptive daughter. And the want and need to make said Yamato stronger for it.
Mainly because those were the feelings that he also put into the bars of metal for Shinano.
Softly smiling, Harry closed the lid to the chest and with a tap, shrunk it before placing it into his pocket. Straightening, he grabbed his carry on bag and left the dorms. It was short hours later that he arrived in Yokosuka and, after dropping off his bag, the first place that they headed was to the hospital to meet the newest member of their family.
Waiting outside her wife's room, Rose's face lit up and she smiled brightly before giving a nod to him, "Master."
Just chuckling, Harry gave a nod back, "Good morning, Aunt Rose." Glancing at Nagato, he shifted a bit and looked at the door, "How is Haruna-Oba and Sumire?"
Expression softening, the Tea Set softly laughed, "They are doing just fine, Master. Better than fine." With a glance of her own towards Nagato, she turned to the door and opened it, "Come on in, Mas... Harry, and meet the newest member of our family."
Nodding, Harry walked in and glanced around the hospital room. In the bed reading a book was Haruna, the Battleship looking up before gaining a happy look on her face, "Harry-Chan, Haruna is happy to see you..."
Quickly making his way over, Harry gave her a hug around her middle, "Good morning, Haruna-Oba."
A laugh made him turn to where Hiei was getting up from a chair, putting a laptop that she was doing some work on to the side. Opening her arms, the second oldest of the Kongou sisters hugged him, "And a good morning to you."
Hugging her back, the teen chuckled, "I wouldn't forget you, Hiei-Oba." Leaning back some, he glanced at the door before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a box. Moments later, it was enlarged back to its original size, "Also, I brought you some fudge since I figured that you might need something to snack on. Hospital food being what it is."
That, along with the wink, made both Battleships snicker even as Rose sighed, "Oh Master Harry..."
In return, Harry winked back at her which made her giggle some before handing it to Haruna. Said Battleship put it aside and gave a small nod, "Thank you, Harry-Chan, Haruna is sure that her and Rose-Chan will enjoy it." Pushing off the bed, she slipped her feet into some slippers and gestured for Harry to follow her to the nearby crib, "Haruna would like you to meet Sumire-Chan."
Looking into the crib, Harry's heart nearly melted at the small infant that was inside wiggling around. She was dressed in a pink onesie, though her hat had fallen off revealing that she had Rose's tea colored hair. The baby gave a small nod as he watched her, "She's so beautiful, Aunt Rose, Haruna-Oba..." With a glance towards the parents, Harry reached in and held out his hand, with the baby grasping one of his fingers tightly which made him laugh, "And strong, just like her parents."
Gently taking one of Haruna's hands into her own, and entwining the fingers, Rose hummed, "She is, though I think that she takes after Haruna in that way."
Bemused, Haruna shook her head, "And Haruna says that she takes after Rose-Chan in that way." Turning back to Harry, she gave him a smile, "Would you like to hold her, Harry-Chan?"
Eyes wide, Harry looked up at her, "C-can I?" At the nod, he gently pulled away his finger and nodded, "I-I would, actually."
At that, Haruna and Rose both smiled. The Tea Set then gestured at a nearby chair and waited until Harry had sat down there before she picked her daughter out of the bed. Carrying her over, she helped the thirteen year old wizard position his arms the right way, though he already knew how with Mutsu's own daughters. With that done, she gently laid her daughter in Harry's arms, "Here you go, Master Harry."
Now sitting down and looking at Sumire, the teen felt his breath taken away even as tears prickled at his eyes. It was not helped as Haruna leaned down and gently stroked her daughter's head, "Sumire-Chan? Haruna would like you to meet your cousin, Harry-Chan. He is a very good person."
Swallowing, Harry smiled, "Hello, Sumire-Chan. Like your Okaa-San said, I'm your cousin, Harry. And... and I want you to know that even though this is our first real meeting, I already love you as you're family, real family. I promise to protect you as well."
Right then, Sumire opened her eyes with hers meeting the stunned ones of Harry before gurgling happily. Then, giving another yawn, she closed her eyes and snuggled into his chest. Seeing that, Rose had a happy look on her face, "It seems that she wants you to know that she loves you too, Master Harry. And that she knows that you'll protect her."
Unable to say anything, even as a tear dripped down his face, Harry just nodded happily.
With a sigh, Harry looked over the small amount of luggage since he had gotten permission to leave the school for the weekend and head back to Yokosuka.
