Hello. I'd like to make a few start-of-story announcements.
1. If you have not read Harry Potter 5, The Order of the Phoenix, I forbid you to read this story. Come back to me when you've finished it.
2. In accordance with announcement 1, this takes place during the sixth year at Hogwarts for the Boy Who Lived, and his friends (and enemies, i.e. Draco Malfoy).
3. The Forbidden Forest is forbidden to students but not to readers.
4. This is a self-insert story, for those of you who are unfamiliar with my work.
5. (Just for the fun of it) Koenma is an idiot! ^_~
If that is all (and it is), let the feast- er, I mean, story begin.
"I can't believe I agreed to come half-way 'round the world to arrest some nut case who's supposed to be being taken care of by somebody else," the black-haired tantei was complaining as the scarlet-colored Hogwarts Express rumbled along the tracks northward through Britain. "To make matters worse, I gotta go undercover as a student! More school! It's friggen' unbelievable..." He continued to grumble to himself a while longer. No body else in the compartment paid him much attention except Kuwabara who was agreeing with him.
"If I have to continue to listen to your incessant rambling much longer, Urameshi, I'll jam that stupid piece of wood that Koenma insisted I have straight up your-"
"Oh, lighten up Hiei," Botan interrupted him. "Can't you have a little fun for once? We're in Great Britain, going to one of the best schools for witchcraft and wizardry in the world. By the way, how's your English?"
"My what?" Oh, no.
"The language I've been trying to teach you for two weeks," Kurama clarified.
Hiei decided to prove how good his English was, then. So, with a thick accent, he said in English, "My English fine."
"It's passable," said Botan slightly less cheery than she had been. "Or at least it's as good as it's going to get for now."
"Bite me," he'd learned that phrase fine.
Before they could continue their discussion the subject of Hiei's English, the compartment door opened to reveal a girl with somewhat frizzy, brown hair, already in her school robes, with a small red and gold badge pinned to the front.
"Sorry to interrupt," she said. "I knocked, but nobody paid attention. Anyway, I'm just patrolling the corridors and welcoming the first years. My name is Hermione Granger and welcome to Hogwarts."
"Hello, Hermione-chan," Kurama said before anyone (mostly Yusuke or Hiei) had the chance to insult her for what she said. "Thank you, but we are not first years. We will be attending classes with sixth year students."
"Yes, I thought you looked a bit old to be eleven. We've never had any transfer students before, though," Hermione said, staying in the doorway. "So, what are your names and what school did you used to go to?"
"The ningen seems to be asking a lot of questions, Kurama," Hiei said lowly (in Japanese of course).
Kurama ignored him. "That's Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara, Hiei Jaganshi," he indicated each in turn, but when he came down to Botan and himself, he was stuck. "Well, the blue-haired girl is Botan, ano..."
"Ferrygirl," Botan said, extending her hand which Hermione shook. "And this is Shuuichi Minamino, but everyone just calls him Kurama."
"It's nice to meet you all," said Hermione, smiling. "What school did you formerly attend?"
"Ano... we went to Reikai Tantei," Kurama said, quickly making something up.
"Oh, I've never heard of it, but I'm sure it's very nice. Well, I should get back to my other duties. Maybe I'll see you in class," she said, turning to leave. She shut the compartment door behind her.
Hermione continued her patrol down the corridor thinking what an odd encounter that had been. "I'll be sure to tell Ron and Harry when we meet up," she said to herself. When she reached the next compartment and peaked in, she saw a girl about 16, but her face was unfamiliar. She was probably another transfer student, but why wasn't she with the others? She probably doesn't get along, Hermione thought. She knocked on the compartment door, and the girl looked up from the book she had been reading and motioned Hermione in. When Hermione stepped in, he realized that the small room was darkened as though night had fallen early on that compartment alone.
"May I help you?" the girl asked in a soft, but somehow cold, voice. She sounded a bit irritated to be interrupted from her reading.
"Yes, hello. My name is Hermione Granger. I'm just patrolling the corridor and welcoming new students," she stuck out a hand, which was left hanging in mid-air. She pulled it back into herself. "Right, er, you attended Reikai Tantei with the other transfer students, right?" she asked, her accent making the name sound a bit funny.
"If that's what they told you. Let me give you the insight you need for dealing with those five. Yusuke is an idiot. Kuwabara is an even bigger idiot. Botan is a twit. Kurama and Hiei are tolerable. Now, I would like to finish this book before we arrive at the castle." Her tone had remained cold.
"Just one more thing," Hermione said, though seeming more hesitant than when she first arrived. "What is your name?"
"My old name or my actual name?" she posed a question Hermione thought didn't make sense.
"What's the difference?" she asked puzzled.
"Never mind... People just called me Katana. You can go chat with your friends now," she sat down and drew the book back up to read. The conversation was definitely over. Hermione wanted to ask about the Extimos Spell cast on the small room but thought better of it and left with a sigh.
Back in the other compartment, the other tantei continued their banter, completely unaware of the girl in the next.
"We go to Sprit World Detective for school?" Yusuke teased the redheaded Kurama.
"I was banking on the fact that her Japanese was as bad as Hiei's English," was Kurama tired reply.
"Leave my language skills out of this, fox," Hiei threatened.
"So, where do we go when we get off the train?" Botan asked, trying to steer the conversation toward something less dangerous. "Certainly, we won't follow the first years."
"No," Kurama replied. "Koenma set it up so that we will all be in the same house as him. We can't take the risk of being sorted into separate houses."
"At least someone paid attention during the debriefing," Yusuke said, relieved. "Which house was it?"
"Gryffindor."
Yay, it's my turn to talk.
Okay, to those of you who know my work, I know this isn't what I normally do bit it was good, right? For those of you that haven't read my other stories, please do.
Anyway, the story... yes, you will find out more about Katana, my character. Next chapter, they arrive at the school and Malfoy gets put in his place.
And for those of you that just plain didn't listen at the beginning when I told you not to read this if you haven't read HP 5: first of all, you should definitely do so, it really good. Secondly, Hermione got made a prefect, I'm not allowed to say who else, you will just have to get the book, or wait all that time for the movie... oh that will be torture, because this will definitely be a great movie.
Okay, I'm done ranting. Please proceed to chapter two.
