Kagome woke to the sounds of birds chirping outside her window, or so she thought. Kagome opened her eyes, looking around as she remembered that she and Shippo had slept in a tree that night. Kagome smiled softly when she saw a large bird in the branches above her. After transforming to her true form, the size of a kitten, Kagome silently jumped to the branch above her, near the trunk of the tree. Lowering her body, Kagome slowly got ready to pounce. Kagome suddenly heard a noise, knowing it was her uncles returning from their trip, to rescue Harry Potter. Kagome slowly crept forward but jumped back when the bird quickly flew off as a voice sounded from in the house, "where have you been!?"

Kagome sat back with a sigh before looking down at the branch Shippo was asleep on. Kagome crouched down, soon pouncing the branch, making it shake. Shippo jumped with a yelp, quickly grabbing the branch with his clawed hands. Once the branch quit shaking, Shippo looked around, "wha… what was that?"

Kagome yawned before transforming back to her humanoid form, "come on, Shippo, we better get inside." Shippo yawned softly as he nodded, the two soon jumping out of their tree and began their race back to the house, which wasn't a far distance to go. Kagome walked through the door first, followed by a yawning Shippo, Molly looked at the two young twins, "morning kits, sleep well?"

The two demon twins nodded happily, "yeah." Kagome then continued, "sleeping outside is always refreshing, and quite calming."

Kagome and Shippo quickly went to the table, Shippo beside Fred, while Kagome sat beside George. Kagome smiled, "how'd it go?'

Ron grumbled, "Harry's uncle tried to pull him from the car, and he almost did too."

Kagome sighed softly, "glad you're alright Harry, wouldn't want to have to visit you on vacation breaks."

Harry nodded, "if I'd been dropped, I'd be more than out of Hogwarts."

Suddenly Ginny came running down the stairs asking about her skirt, which Molly said was on the cat. Ginny then noticed Harry sitting at their table and froze. Kagome and Shippo looked at each other, smiling softly, knowing why she froze, as did all the Weasley's. Harry said 'hello' and Ginny quickly bolted up the steps.

After eating breakfast, Molly told her sons to go de-gnome the garden, with Harry, Kagome, and Shippo volunteering to help. Once out in the garden, Kagome and Shippo transformed to their true forms, soon chasing random gnomes. The 4 boys laughed when Kagome quickly transformed to her humanoid form once she had trapped a gnome. She then grabbed the gnome's ankle and spun it around quickly before letting it fly across the hedge. Ron then explained to Harry how to catch and throw the gnomes, telling him to let go before they try to bite him.

Kagome smiled happily, "Grandpa's home, come on guys." The group then ran back to the house, with Kagome and Shippo in the lead.

Every gathered in the kitchen, talking with each other and learning about Arthur's job. A few days later, the children received their Hogwarts letters with their list of school books, though Kagome and Shippo didn't need all of the same books as Ron and Harry did. Later that day Kagome and Shippo watched the other 4 boys practice for Quidditch. The two demons laid in the sun light, relaxing happily in the warming light, but after getting bored Kagome got up and transformed into a small hawk.

Kagome stretched her wings before taking flight, flying around Harry's head long enough to get his attention. Harry swatted at Kagome until he realized who it was, "huh, Mud" Kagome had told the ones that knew her secret to call her Mud, short for Mudblood, if she were in any animal form, so as not to alert any one to her being a demon. Shippo had decided to use the name Kasai when in animal form.

Harry soon began flying after Kagome, trying to catch her, but she was flying quick like a Snitch. Kagome would fly in random patterns, having learned that a Snitch doesn't have a set pattern, so she avoided having a set path. Fred, George, and Ron took turns on Ron's Shooting Star, though it was slow and out dated.

On Wednesday the family gathered together at the fireplace, dressed with their robes on. Molly turned to Harry, "alright dear, you first." After a quick explanation from Ron, Molly soon realized that Harry had never traveled by Flew Powder, so she made Ron go first, then Harry. After Harry, Kagome and Shippo transformed to their kitten sized fox forms before jumping to Fred and George, who were next. Once every one had arrived at Diagon Alley, except Harry, every one headed toward the book store, where a signing was happening.

Kagome and Shippo had transformed to their humanoid forms, though their demon traits were still hidden, once they were at Diagon Alley, and out of sight of other witches and wizards. Kagome held onto George's hand, while Fred held onto Shippo's, both actually appearing the same age as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Once every one agreed to meet back at Flourish and Blotts in an hour, every one was able to head their own way, after visiting the Gringotts Bank. Kagome and Shippo quickly learned that Charlie, their adopted father, had left her and Shippo a key to their own vault.

Kagome and Shippo grabbed enough for their school supplies, and other things they wanted, when they had a chance since they decided to join Fred and George. The two twins groaned softly when Molly yelled not to go to Knockturn Alley, so they headed a different direction, where they met with Lee. While the twins were gathering items in the Joke Shop, Kagome and Shippo were only looking around. Once they had neared the hour, Kagome and Shippo grabbed hold of Fred and George, and led them to Flourish and Blotts, followed by Lee.

Kagome sighed softly when they walked into Flourish and Blotts, hearing Shippo also sigh softly. As most of the girls listened intently, Kagome almost wanted to run from the lies she could smell coming from the man at the table. Kagome almost blanched when she realized that both, Molly and Ginny, liked Gilderoy Lockheart. She watched as Harry was dragged forward by a reporter, given all of Lockheart's collection of books, and taken photos of.

Kagome was glad when they were about to leave, but stood near Ron and Shippo when they were stopped by Draco, which surprised her. 'Why is he being so mean to us? He wasn't this mean when I first met him… unless he was hiding it…'

Kagome saw Hermione and Herry grab Ron's jacket after Draco said, "I suppose your parents will go hungry for a month to pay for all those." Kagome was about to rush forward but was stopped by Shippo's hand and Arthur's voice. Kagome took a glance back and saw her grandfather, Fred, and George.

Kagome didn't pay too close attention as Arthur and Draco's father, Luciuc, spoke to each other, she could understand more from the auras the two were putting off. Kagome then felt out Draco's aura and was slightly surprised that he held a dislike for most around them, but there was also something more to his aura, she just couldn't put her finger on it.

Kagome jumped back in surprise when Arthur pushed Lucius into a bookcase, "Grandpa!" Fred and George were yelling, "get him, Dad." While Molly was shrieking for Arthur to let go. Kagome was about to rush forward when Hagrid made his way and pulled the two apart. Kagome got the scent of her Grandfather's blood, making her eyes seep red, so she quickly ran from the bookstore and down the street.

Shippo had seen Kagome quickly leave and after sniffing the air, he understood why, their grandfather had a cut lip. Shippo was about to follow but decided against it, knowing she needed to be alone for a few minutes, so she could calm down. When Molly asked where Kagome had gone, Shippo whispered very quietly, "Grandma, don't worry, Kagome needed a few minutes to calm down. She smelled Grandpa's blooded lip, and for us, that has different affects for us. Kagome's quite protective of her family, and the blood made her mad that some one had hurt Grandpa. I'm not as protective of you two as she is, because you guys rescued her from her third family." Shippo sighed softly, "Kagome just needs a few minutes so she can calm down. Her eyes were bleeding red, so it's just best to leave her be for a while." While Shippo was telling the Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione about why Kagome had ran off, none noticed that some one had followed her.

Kagome soon found herself in a dead-end alley, so she dropped to her knees, her body shaking as she slowly began to calm down. Barely hearing a male voice say her name softly. Kagome's eyes returned to normal as she looked up and saw Lee standing a few feet from the entrance. Kagome stayed on her knees as she looked back at Lee, who spoke as he took a few steps forward, "Are you alright? I seen you run from the store, didn't think I could keep up with you either."

Lee walked over and knelt next to Kagome as she nodded, "yeah, it's just that I caught the scent of Grandpa's blood, on his lip. I had to leave before I tried to attack Mr. Malfoy. Sesshoumaru would have been mad that I couldn't control my demonic side. I'm young, but most demons my age can control their demonic side." Kagome sighed softly.

Lee placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder, "Malfoy had been hit in the eye by a book if that helps make you feel better."

Kagome smiled softly, "yeah, thanks. I just can't believe there are still people that look down on others just because they're different. If they knew what I was…"

Lee quickly spoke before Kagome could finish her sentence, "but they don't know, and none of us are going to say anything." Kagome looked up at Lee, glad to know she has friends that care. "Come on, we should get you back before the others come looking for you." Kagome nodded and let Lee help her up, the two then began walking out of the alley.

Kagome and Lee soon found the others and made sure they had every thing for their school year before heading their own way. Later that week or so, the Weasley family headed to King's Cross Station.
