Well, I present Moon Beams Strike, Dragon's Delight! This first chapter begins in the train scene!
Hermione, Ron, and Harry walked into the compartment, to see two people already in it, a man and a girl, both sitting on opposite sides, sleeping.
"Who d'you reckon he is?" Ron hissed as they sat down, Harry by the unknown girl, Hermione beside Ron, who was beside the man.
"Professor R.J. Lupin," whispered Hermione at once.
"How do you know-how does she know that?"
"It's on his case, Ronald!" Hermione said.
"Oh, they d'you know who she is?" Ron gestured to the girl.
Hermione shrugged, "I've never seen her before, but she's not a first year…"
Harry told them about Sirius Black, talking about a couple things, before the train stopped and the lights went out.
"What's going on?" said Ron's voice from behind Harry.
"Ouch!" gasped Hermione, "Ron, that was my foot!"
Harry felt his way back to his seat.
"D'you think we've broken down?"
"Dunno…"
Hermione started to get up to ask what was going on, when Neville and Ginny came in. They argued about the seating arrangements, until a hoarse voice commanded,
"Quiet!"
A soft, slightly foreign voice backed the man's voice up, "Yes please do. I do not wish to get a headache this early in the year."
The man and girl seemed to wake up at last. Harry looked over to the girl. He was two golden orbs staring back at him. The man-Professor Lupin, Harry decided lit flames, and commanded them to stay where they were. He stood, and heading for the door. The girl watched with worried eyes.
But he was too late, a skeletal hand opened the door. An intense cold swept over them all. The girl stood up.
Harry felt an extreme cold spread over him as the figure approached him, he heard a woman screaming, and his vision faded to black.
…
"Well, Kohana?"
"He'll be fine now." A voice said. Harry opened his eyes to see the girl from earlier leaning over him. He sat up quickly without thinking, and smacked foreheads with the girl. She fell back, still in her kneeling position, but quickly moved her foot to steady herself.
"Ow." She said, rubbing her head. Lupin walked over to Harry, handing a piece of chocolate.
"Eat this," he said, "it will make you feel better." With that, he disappeared into the corridor.
Harry then turned to the girl, "Umm…Who exactly are you?"
"Forgive me, I did not introduce myself," she said, "I am Kohana Okawa."
"Are you a transfer student?" Hermione piped up.
"Y-yes, I suppose you could say that-"
"Where are you from?"
"Japan." Kohana sighed.
Hermione's eyes practically sparkled with amazement, "Ohhhh, what's it like there?"
Kohana paled, "Um-well-you see-" Lupin choose that moment to walk back in. Harry looked at Kohana, who was looking down. Harry could have sworn he had seen her outline shimmer for a second..
The rest of the train ride went rather uneventful. In short, after they had left the train, Kohana had grabbed a carriage with the rest of them, but disappeared once they began to head for the Great Hall. Harry thought he saw her slip outside, but he couldn't be sure.
Kohana Okawa's P.O.V
I waited until everyone had left from sight. Tonight was my only time to survey this place.
I am Kohana Okawa, sister to Haku, current refugee in the UK. I saw no reason staying in Yubaba's service after Sen had told me and Haku our names, but Haku insisted staying.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was hoping to see Sen once again one day.
The last name, Okawa, is just a cover up, since I am sure rules are different here than in the Spirit World. Some of you might have noticed by now, or maybe you haven't, but if you drop the 'hana' from my name, and combine it with Haku's name, it creates Kohaku, the river which we were spirits of.
Coincidence?
I don't think so.
Well, enough about myself. You know all you need to for now.
I made sure no one was around, before I transformed, and took off into the sky.
Ah yes, one more minor detail, I can turn into a dragon like Haku. The only difference is that My body is the sea green color, and my mane in the bluish white. I do not have horns as Haku. My eyes stay the same golden color.
I made sure to avoid the Dementors, I hated those things… I spotted the hole beneath the Whomping Willow Remus told me about, and shot down, twirling to avoid the branches. I clambered through the tunnels, snarling as I got a cut on what would be my human equivalent of a cheek. I knocked aside a crate that blocked my way, and entered the small house Remus would be using during the Full Moons. I looked around at the shack. It creaked and swayed dangerously.
I circled around the ceiling a few times, deciding it was sturdy enough. I slowly went back though the tunnel.
Once I got back at the opening, I stopped for a moment, watching the tree. I then shot out of the hole, shooting into the sky. I twisted along with the wind, enjoying my freedom before going back into the school. I opened my mouth in a dragon grin, spiraling.
I had been given a room at the very top of Gryffindor Tower, so no one would notice me leave on the Full Moons and during the night when I could fly. I made my way towards said window-with-ledge, pausing over the ledge, and reverting back to my human form, landing in a kneeling position on the ledge. I carefully pushed open the window, sliding in. I saw my trunk In the corner, labeled with the first Kanji of my name. I flopped on my bed, sighing.
I suppose this was better than being at Yubaba's…
