Bakugan Battle Brawlers At Hogwarts
Fist Year:
- Sorting Ceremony
Runo Misaki still couldn't believe what was right in front of her eyes. A castle bigger than all of the streets of London she had visited was right there. She felt minuscule just at seeing the great building. The boat she was in kept rocking back and forth with all the constant movement she was doing. The other classmates were eager as well so they refrained from scolding the girl.
"Keep still Runo, you are going to get us all wet" An orange haired girl said back to Runo in a calm collected manner.
"Sorry Alice. I'm just excited that's all" Runo answered back as she sat down and gave her a smile.
Alice Gehabic was the first friend she had made from the magical world. They had previously met at Diagon Alley, where she had gone with Tigrerra, a Professor from Hogwarts, when they had ran to each other. And now when Runo had climbed to the Hogwarts Express they were on the same cabinet. Alice had chocolate brown eyes that radiated kindness to everyone. Her hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail.
"Calm down your excitement a little bit Runo" A silver haired said back to her just as she was examining her nails.
"No can do Julie" Runo said back with a little annoyance to the other girl. Julie Makimoto was another friend she had made on her way here. They had sat together on the train but Runo couldn't help being annoyed when the girl said annoying things constantly. The girl had brown eyes as well but Runo felt as if she was annoyed she was coming here. Her hair was up in a side ponytail and part of it was pulled back with pins in forms of hearts or stars.
She let out a sigh just as the Hogwarts castle kept on approaching little by little.
Runo Misaki was an orphan child. She had been living in Wool's Orphanage ever since she could remember and from what caretakers had told her, her parents had died in a car accident when she was just a year old. That explanation was enough to justify the scar she had on her arm. Strangely enough Runo didn't question much the existence of the scar; if anything she thought it looked kind of cool. She could pretend she had powers with a scar like that.
Her scar started from her hand all over to where her shoulder started. It kind of looked like a lightning scar, as if she had been struck with lightning that day. She didn't mind her scar, but ever since the other orphans saw the scar they would tease her about it.
Living in Wool's Orphanage wasn't dreadful as Runo tried to explain to herself most of the time. The caretakers where always kind to everyone and to her as well; sometimes the other orphans would go out of hand with their pranks, but in the end they would apologize. But, as she kept on growing up, she felt a huge drift between them and her. At first she couldn't explain it; it almost felt like she didn't belong there, in that place.
After she turned seven years old, problems started brewing between her and everyone else. She would try to go and talk with someone and it would usually end up in a fight, with her of course getting a punishment for it. The caretakers would usually ignore any kinds of requests she would ask for. The worst of it was that she didn't know why it was happening.
So she shut herself.
Once being a happy and lively kid with very good remarks was no more. She would usually stay in her room and solve her own problems or just ignore them; she tried to think it was better that way. But, every time she saw how another orphan was being bullied, she was the first one to defend them. Of course, she got punished a lot of times but by the time she had been spending there, Runo was getting used to it.
That was until Tigrerra came knocking down the door of her dormitory.
A knock from her door had interrupted the blunette from her thoughts. She stayed still in her bed waiting a bit more. 'Maybe it's just another prank' she said in her mind and so she waited. Eventually another knock was heard. The girl let out a huff of breath as she approached carefully the door.
Runo took hold of it and swung it open. She closed her eyes expecting a tomato to hit her in the face, but nothing of such happened. She looked back up and was met with a pair of big blue eyes.
A woman who looked like she was in her mid-thirties was standing right in front of her dormitory. She had long blond wavy hair that reached her waist. Her skin looked like it was made out of porcelain and was wearing a royal blue robe and it was adorned with golden dots from the end of it and upwards. Runo thought she looked stunning.
"Are you Runo Misaki?" The woman said with authority and a gentle tone. Runo could only manage to squeak out a little yes in response. A silence was created between of them and Runo could see how the other orphans were at the end of the hallway watching their conversation.
"May I come in?" The woman asked and the girl only moved aside to let her enter. Once she did she quickly closed the door. The blond started to examine her room. It was still messy Runo noticed. The dormitories of each orphan were pretty simple, a bed at the end of the room, a desk beside it, a little wooden wardrobe right in front of the desk and a little window so the light could come in. The walls were all painted of the same color, a kind of blue but not the lively one, it looked much sadder.
When she was given the room, Runo couldn't help but feel depressed at the sight of it, so she decorated it the best she could. Books were all around the desk along with origami figurines of different colors. Some of them were hanging from the ceiling and some on top of the wardrobe. Her bed sheets were parched up of different fabrics she had found around the garbage. The wardrobe had paintings of all sorts of things from stars to flowers, made with crayons and some with paint. She had put up posters from bands, places, celebrities, movies, etc., to fill the color of the wall.
Runo had to admit though, she was a mess at all of the organizing and crafting, but she felt at ease every time she was doing all of those things. The woman giggled a little bit as she pointed at a poster of a young male celebrity. That one was put on purpose and Runo couldn't help the blush from her cheeks.
"I suppose you fancy him?" The blonde pointed at the poster but Runo didn't respond anything back at her. The woman smiled and then took out something from her robe. From what Runo saw, it looked like it was a letter. "This is yours" The woman said and handed her the letter.
Runo took it with cautious hands and read the address for whom it was directed to.
Mrs. R. Misaki
The Dormitory at the End of the 2nd Hall
Wools Orphanage
London
She looked up to the woman and she only nodded back. This was definitely for her. With caution she flipped it over and tore a red seal that was placed in the middle of the envelope. The seal had a strange marking with an H. She opened it and took out the letter that said the following:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmistress: Ophal Whyvern
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorceress, Chr. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Mrs. Misaki,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1st. We await your owl no later than July 31st.
Yours sincerely,
Pyrus Drago
Deputy Headmaster
"What?" Runo asked incredulous. Magic. A school of magic. She was sure this was some sort of prank and a bad one.
"That's right-"The woman was going to keep on speaking but Runo cut her off from her explanation.
"Listen here missy" Runo said in a cold tone of voice. All signs of sweetness were gone from her face. She knew she couldn't jump to conclusions that fast, but if this was one of the orphan's pranks, oh were they going to get it. "Is this some sort of prank? Because it's a really bad one and I am in no mood for it"
The woman's eyebrows knotted in concentration. She kept on staring at Runo with such disbelief that the silence was getting uncomfortable by the second. Suddenly another knock was heard from the door but no response came with it as it was opened. The mistress of the orphanage Bella Black a woman in her sixties, was standing in Runo's doorway looking at the unknown woman with eyes full of hatred.
"It seems we have an unexpected guess" Bella said as she shot a dirty look at Runo but she didn't falter. That woman was the very reason everyone despised Runo so much; since she was dropped off at the orphanage she had been nothing but trouble and gossip for her. If this prank was involving the mistress, Runo hoped it was a good one. Bella took some steps into the room and closed the door behind her quietly.
"Hello Bella, long time no see" The other woman spoke up with such a cold tone that sent chills down Runo's spine.
"What brings you here Tigrerra?" The older woman asked with fake sweetness. As in response the one called Tigrerra just furrowed her eyebrows deeper.
"Ophal informed me that Runo didn't get her letter to Hogwarts" Tigrerra answered as she took another letter from her robes "I'm pretty sure that my headmistress was clear enough of what would happen when she turned eleven" She handed Bella the letter and instantly she was beside Runo.
For some strange reason Runo wasn't talking. She wanted to know more about the topic; how was that this woman knew her? And the strange letters they were talking about. But for the time being, she felt safer than before with Tigrerra by her side, it made her have more confidence.
"Well a woman at my age could forget these kinds of things" The mistress tried to laugh it off nicely but even Runo could decipher that she was lying. It's not like it was a shocker, the woman was one of the most mischievous and despicable people Runo had come to know.
"We know; that's why we have been sending the owls since last month" Tigrerra said in a rational tone of voice. It was true, Runo had seen some owls at the orphanage's gates, but paid no mind to them. The woman spoke up again "I bet you didn't even tell her about her true heritage"
A silence grew by the three women, and Runo was the first one to break it.
"What are you talking about?" she asked Tigrerra in a curious tone. Her mind was confused but she still wanted answers; hopefully they weren't even talking about her.
"Nothing you need to know" Bella said back with such force that Runo turned to her about to respond back, but a hand was placed on her shoulder. The blunette looked up to Tigrerra. If looks could kill, Black would already be dead thanks to that stare. Runo could even feel how the temperature dropped instantly, if by some sort of magic was controlling the temperature.
"You will not speak to her that way" The blond answered and Runo could see how Bella felt nervous by the statement. Before Runo could react, Tigrerra took what looked like a stick and waved it in front of her. Instantly a suitcase appeared and most of her stuff was pulled inside and placed there. The suitcase dropped with a heavy 'thud' on the ground and another silence was made.
"How did you do that?" Runo whispered with surprise to Tigrerra. She was sure; it was just some kind of trick of optical illusion or something. Maybe she hadn't been sleeping that well. After all it was kind of normal to see flying suitcases.
Tigrerra waved the stick once again and the suitcase disappeared instantly. Then she turned to Runo and flashed a genuine smile. "Magic" she whispered back. Then she kneeled in front of her and showed her the stick she had been using.
From up close Runo could see it was not some simple stick. It was actually a very fine piece of wood. As if it was made out of a cherry tree. It had carvings at the handle of different kinds of felines along with some spirals Runo was amazed by the beauty of it.
"This is my wand" Tigrerra said with a gentle tone of voice as she gently started waving it around. Sparkles of different colors were appearing out of the tip of the wand. "This is how I do my magic" she said and for some reason the way she said it, Runo felt as if she was telling the truth.
"Who are you?" Runo whispered to her. Tigrerra smiled back at her as she quietly answered her question.
"I´m a witch" she said "and so are you".
After walking through a strange forest and finally walking through Hogwart's main entrance, Runo couldn't help being nervous. Professor Drago, the Deputy Headmaster, had just announced that the sorting of houses was about to begin and the butterflies appeared in an instant.
As she was walking through the Great Hall she could feel the heavy stares from people all around her. She kept on reminding herself that they were just there because they were all first years. And that was all.
The Great Hall as she noticed had four long tables filled with the older students of each Hogwarts house were situated. The houses in Hogwarts were four if she remembered correctly. Ravenclaw was for the intelligent and curious; Hufflepuff for the loyal and hard workers; Slytherin for the ambitious and cunning and Gryffindor for the brave and daring.
Runo couldn't place exactly in which house she would belong to and that made her nervous.
She focused instead at Professor's Drago's head. From what she had noticed, he had a large ponytail and his hair was black. Drago looked as if he had around 35 or 40 years old. He was wearing long red and golden robes that ended by his feet. His eyes were black with a hint of green, and he had a genuine smile. Runo thought the professor looked similar to a dragon but she thought the same of Tigrerra when she saw her.
The woman had taken her to Diagon Alley, to get her first magic books, her wand and her white snow owl called Lumos. Runo felt herself smiling at the memory and she looked up to the professor's table that was just at the end of the Great Hall. And she found her there, smiling back at her.
Tigrerra looked the same as when she had first seen her. Runo gave her a small wave and Tigrerra waved back a little. Then a voice broke her out of her thoughts and she stared back a head.
"Attention everyone!" Professor Drago announced loud and clear "The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin!"
Whispers soon died down as professor Drago appeared a wooden stool and on top of it placed an old wizard's hat. The hat looked dusty and old, as if it was only used in certain occasions. Runo scrunched up her nose in disgust. Instantly wrinkles appeared in the hat and what appeared to be a mouth a voice started singing.
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
When the hat stopped everyone gave a standing ovation to the hat. Runo herself was clapping. It's true that the hat was old but his song was really creative and a good sound of voice.
Once the applauses died down, Professor Drago took out a parchment and opened it.
"Mira Clay!" The whispers ended instantly and a girl that was just in front of Runo walked towards the stool. She had short orange hair and her eyes were blue. Once she was seated in the stool Drago placed the hat on her head. Some minutes passed and the hat exclaimed.
"RAVENCLAW!" The table with bronze and blue cheered loudly as Mira made her way towards them and sat at the table.
'So this is how the sorting goes' Runo said to herself and she suddenly became more anxious than ever.
More names kept on coming as the hat announces different houses and each of them erupted in cheers.
"Alice Gehabic!" Her friend's name got called and Runo instantly looked beside her. Alice gave her a weak smile and she walked up to the stool. Runo saw how a professor at the table smiled kindly at Alice. He definitely looked old, like he was around his fifties or sixties. He had white hair pulled back and glasses on his eyes. He was wearing a gray tux and a gray robe over it.
Once Alice was seated the hat was on her. Several minutes passed and the hat whispered something in her ear.
"RAVENCLAW!" Alice grinned as the house erupted in cheers. Runo watched as Alice made her way to the table and then she looked back at the old man. His smile had dropped and he was griping his glasses tightly as if he was about to kill someone.
'It will be best if I avoid him' the girl made a mental note about that as the sorting continued.
"Shun Kazami!" Drago said and a boy with raven black hair walked up to the stool. He had a tiny ponytail and his eyes were gold. Just like a cat. Runo felt a shiver down her spine. That boy could mean trouble. He sat on the stool and just a second had passed when the hat announced the house.
"SLYTHERIN!" The green and silver table exclaimed loudly as the Gryffindor house made a groan out of disappointment. The silent boy made his way towards the house as Runo whispered in Julie's ear.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Kazami is a strong last name inside the magic world. Most of its members have belonged between Gryffindor and Slytherin." Julie explained in a soft voice as more classmates started to pass. "It's like a constant feud between the two houses of who is going to get the next Kazami" she finished with a triumphant smile.
"Dan Kuso!" Drago exclaimed with enthusiasm as if he knew the boy. Said boy ran excitedly at the stool as he flashed a grin to the professor. He had messy brown hair. It looked like at the top of his head he was wearing some sort of blue goggles. The hat was placed on him and in an instant the hat was screaming.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The red and golden table clapped and shouted excitedly as the boy ran straight at them and high fived some of its members. Runo couldn't help but look as the boy sat down and was grinning. She felt as if she had known him from somewhere before, but couldn't pinpoint to where. She could feel herself smiling at the scene.
"Found yourself a crush?" Julie said with a mischievous smile. Runo just knitted her eyebrows in confusion.
"I don't even know him" Runo explained and Julie was about to retort something but was cut short.
"Julie Makimoto!" Professor Drago exclaimed and said girl shut up instantly.
Runo gave her friend an encouraging smile, trying to cheer her up. Of course she was failing at this, since Julie looked more nervous than before. With shaking legs, Julie made her way towards the stool and sat awkwardly. Drago gave her a sincere smile and placed the hat on her head.
The hat was mumbling something to the girl. The sorting was taking much more time than expected; both the hat and the girl seemed to be in some kind of brawl between the two. Finally the hat looked up and shouted.
"HUFFLEPUFF!" It announced. There was a silence in the air for a moment, until said table started cheering at the girl. Julie gave her new house a weak smile as she approached them and sat down at their table.
Runo felt somehow sad for her friend. Once her sorting was over she had this feeling that her friend was not happy with her house. She gulped down a not in her throat.
Then the moment of truth came.
"Runo Misaki!" Drago announced and everyone started whispering to themselves. She still wasn't moving and noticed how Tigrerra was giving her thumbs up. She inhaled and walked. Runo approached the stool slowly and felt everyone's eyes on her.
"She's the Misaki?"
"Where is her scar?"
"Did she really defeat You-Know-Who?"
Mumbles and whispers got to her ears but she was with her head held high. Runo honestly didn't know what the people were mumbling on about. She had never defeated anyone and how did they know about her scar? She reached the stool and gave the professor a little smile. He responded with the same sincerity. She sat on the stool and instantly her vision was clouded.
"Mmmh you are the Misaki child?" The hat said with amusement. It seemed as if the conversation between them was only happening inside her head.
"Yes, I'm Runo Misaki" She answered with confidence. She had this feeling that the Sorting Hat was nodding in a thoughtful way.
"Seems to be that you have similar traits as your father and mother" He announced proudly.
"You knew them?" She asked with curiosity. Runo have heard only tales about her parents by Tigrerra the week before. How they met and attended Hogwarts in their teenage years; and nothing else. She still felt foreign to her last name, as if she never knew the people in her family.
"Yes I also sorted them in here" The hat answered back and then nodded "You'll do well in the same house as them" and then concluded the sorting.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The whole table of Gryffindor stood and cheered the loudest. Runo could feel her heart ease the second it was over. She could feel how her lips curved up in a smile and ran towards her new house. She heard how the other houses were either groaning or clapping for her, but she blocked her mind from that.
Once she got there everyone within reach was hugging her and shaking her hands. She could not help but feel like a celebrity. Not something she liked though. Another name was called and everyone eased and took their places.
Runo sat down at the first place she could find. Next to her was the boy with shaggy brown hair. He looked at her with confusion written on his face. Runo just stared back at him with the same confusion. From up close she could see how messy his hair really was. He had eyes of mixed colors; at some point it looked like they were brown and at other like they were red.
"You look like you are 5 years old with those pigtails" The boy said with a mischievous grin as he poked her forehead. Several nerves were pressed inside Runo's body that she didn't suppress her anger.
"Says the boy who is wearing goggles" She answered back with a tone much more deadly. The next action came out of nowhere. Runo grabbed the goggles, pulled them back a little bit and let them go. The goggles crashed against his forehead with a heavy hit. The spot where they had hit started to look red.
"You are so going to get it, kid" He said much more seriously as he flicked her forehead.
"My name's Runo!" The blunette answered back with much more frustration and pulled down the uniform tie. They soon started bickering at each other, throwing insults here and there; both of them equally frustrated at each other but every time the students from higher years tried to separate them, they would still bicker from the other side of the table.
More names were called and each of the houses cheered for their new students. At the end of the sorting another girl with navy blue hair sat down next to Runo and introduced herself as Fabia Sheen. They shook hands and exchanged names and Runo was way calmer.
The stool vanished from the front and a woman that sat at the center of the professor's table's stood up. Runo was taken aback with the appearance of the woman. She had a slender body with long silky platinum hair that reached her back. The woman had violet eyes that were shining with happiness and empathy. She was wearing a robe with different shades of violet that reached her feet and was adorned with small pearls in her sleeves.
She definitely had an air of authority higher from of all of the professors. The woman kept on walking until she stopped in front of a wooden podium. All whispers and bickering was quieted down when she looked back at the students.
Runo could see from the other student faces, that they weren't afraid of the woman; it was more like a sign of respect. She could sense that she was the Headmistress of Hogwarts and that she had been doing a pretty good job at keeping it together and well taken care of. The woman flashed them all a sincere smile and began speaking.
"Welcome everyone; from first years to seventh years" she started saying as she looked around the whole Great Hall "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Ophal Wyvern and I am the Headmistress of Hogwarts. We are so glad to see new faces every year to bring Hogwarts to life. For the first years, we in Hogwarts are thrilled to see you joining us for the first time and I'll introduce your fellow teachers for this year."
The Headmistress turned back to her fellow professors and with a smile started. "The Deputy Headmaster Pyrus Drago, Professor in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Head of the Gryffindor House" Drago stood up and flashed the students with a grin. Many started clapping and hooping (mostly from the Gryffindor House) for the professor until he sat down.
"Haos Tigrerra Professor in Transfiguration" Runo clapped loudly at her, as Tigrerra stood up with grace and made a little bow to everyone. The cheers would come and go for each one of the professors and would stop when Wyvern was talking.
"Aquos Preyas, Professor in Herbology" A weird man stood up and waved his wand. Flowers started raining down in the Great Hall as everyone laughed. Aquos Preyas was strange, Runo stated, he was wearing a blue tux and a purple coat with yellow dots on it. His hair was in a mixture of different shades of blue and black and he had a wicked smile on his lips. Drago took out his wand and pushed him to the chair she was sitting on.
"SubTerra Golem, Professor of History of Magic and Head of Hufflepuff" The table of black and yellow cheered loudly as what looked like a man stood up. He was enormous, twice the height of Wyvern, as he started waving kindly at everyone. It looked as if the professor was made of stone and was wearing armor made out of it.
"Storm Skyress, Professor in Charms, Instructor in Flying and Head of Slytherin" A beautiful woman stood up and smiled as her house whooped and cheered for her. The woman had a long silky blond hair as it was tied up in a low braid. She was wearing a long sleeved emerald green gown that reached her feet, and it looked as if it was shining with gold.
"Darkus Hydranoid, Professor in Alchemy" A man with black hair stood up and just nodded at them. He was wearing a black sleeveless robe and on top of it what seemed like a purple scarf. He sat down quickly as Professor Storm whispered something in his ear.
"Michael Gehabic, Professor in Potions and Head of Ravenclaw" The old man who was giving everyone a death glare stood up and saluted them with a kind smile. Runo knit her eyebrows in confusion, that man was Alice's relative and he was mad at her; before and now he was waving kindly at everyone as his house cheered for him. Something didn't click for Runo.
Wyvern presented other teachers at the table, which weren't giving classes to Runo this year, so she dismissed them as she and Fabia started chatting about how excited they were about the school.
"And joining us this year will be Professor Jesse Glenn, who will be the new Astrology Teacher for the First Year Students" A young man around the age of twenty five, stood up and waved at the students. He had brown long hair tied in a ponytail and wearing green robes adorned with golden patterns. He was holding on to a black book and a little wooden cane by his right. That seemed odd to Runo, the man looked young but not healthy at all. It looked like he was starting to grow white hair and his hands were trembling every time he waved.
"We hope you enjoy this year with us" Wyvern said with a smile "And without further ado, enjoy the feast!" She clapped and trays of food appeared in each one of the long tables. Runo gasped in surprise as claps were heard and everyone started to dig in to the food. Without giving a thought Runo as well started to eat from her plate and picking anything that looked delicious.
She was sure now; she was going to love Hogwarts.
Hey guess I'm back, sort of...Anyway I been away long enough from this site and much more from my account and I thought it was time to upload this story. I started working on this around the start of the year so yeah I'm pretty ahead on most of the chapters, at least you won't have to worry about that. I'll try to upload this story as much as I can.
As for my other stories, for the moment I don't think I'm going to continue them, and if I do, then I'll probably end up rewriting them. So yeah, sorry about that I'll check on them later on.
Regarding this story, I'll try to explain it a bit more. It's basically a bunch of One Shots revolving the Bakugan Battle Brawlers (I'm surprised how I'm still obsessed in this anime...) inside the Harry Potter universe. In this story Harry Potter doesn't exist, nor the characters form the canon story, so yeah I replaced them from characters from Bakugan. And since you can notice in my previous stories, Runo is actually the main character (surprise). Most of the things that will happen are similar to the ones in the Harry Potter franchise, except for some things that are coming. Anyways stay tuned for this story and I hope you like the chapter.
Oh here's a list of the characters so far and their houses in case you missed it:
Runo Misaki (Gryffindor)
Dan Kuso (Gryffindor)
Alice Gehabic (Ravenclaw)
Julie Makimoto (Hufflepuff)
Shun Kazami (Slytherin)
Mira Clay (Ravenclaw)
Fabia Sheen (Gryffindor)
