'Someone thinking'

"Someone talking"


Chapter One: The Road Path



Kiryuu Zero scowled; he was giving off a dark aura as he looked at the outline of a castle. He dipped his silver hair feeling anger wash over him. Kurosu had better have had a better reason then the one he gave him.


"Zero?" Yuuki said toying with her brown hair watching his retreating figure.

"Yuuki?"

"Where are you going?" She seemed scared as though she thought he was going to leave again.

"Kurosu, he, he is sending me to a place called 'Hogwarts'." Zero owed her that much.

"WHAT? Why? Why can't you stay here?" Yuuki asked panicking she grabbed his shoulders from behind as though trying to prevent him from leaving. 'This was why I left in the middle of the night'

"I, I do not know Yuuki" 'Of all times'. Yuki felt tears spilling down her face at his impartial voice. She tightened her grip her arms wrapped securely around his shoulders. The black jacket from the day class uniform

"Don't go Zero! I'll do anything! I'll-"Yuuki was silenced when Zero turned around staring into her wide brown eyes.

"Yuuki," His voice cut like a razor.

"Nothing you or I do will change a thing!"

"But!" Yuuki protested even though her she let go of the vice grip she had held Zero's shoulders in.

Zero wrapped his arms around her pulling Yuuki into a hug.

"I'm sorry. Yuuki, none of it is my choice."

Yuuki laid her head on his shoulder next to his mark and cried softly. She hoped, wished, and wanted Zero to stay. But he couldn't, what happened? What had happened that Zero all of a sudden had to go? He surely hadn't drunken anyone's blood, had he?

"Z-Ze-Zero," Yuki choked/moaned out into his shoulder.

"Yuuki?"

"Wh-what ha-happened?"

Zero closed his eyes lightly,

"You'll know soon enough Yuuki,"



Zero closed his eyes furiously as though daring himself to bring more of that back into memory.

He turned around, he had gotten his first look at the place, now he had to go back and take a train to it tomorrow.


He looked around at the busy station called kings cross. At the stone like floors, and at the bustling people around him. His dark Lilac purple eyes catching the movements of everyone. He felt and saw people staring at him, I don't look that strange, do I? He asked himself attempting to shake it off. He felt a familiar presence behind him and turned, Yuuki was standing there, with her harms crossed, she was wearing her uniform, complete with the disciplinary committee sash.

"Yuuki?"

"Look, I know you wouldn't tell me why you are here, but I'm coming with you! And that's final!"

Yuki even crossed her arms stubbornly to prove that Zero had no say in this matter at all.

"Yu-" Zero began but got cut off by a hand to his mouth.

"You are stuck with me Kiryuu Zero!" Zero gently raised his hand to hers noticing that Yuki's eyes widened slightly.

Zero lifted Yuuki's hand away from his mouth and said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Yuki stared at him then smiled brightly. '…'

"Alright, so how are we getting to wherever we're getting to?"

"Well were supposed to ride a train to Scotland."

"Scotland?"

"Don't look at me, I'm just following directions." Zero answered to the reproachful and confused look Yuki gave him.

"Hnn, should've gotten better directions then." Said the brunette with a teasing edge.

Zero ducked his head in agreement scanning the crowd for anything that could help. He himself had been wondering just what was going on. Higher forces seemed to be at work and did not care if it made much sense to the ones they were effecting. The forces be-named Kuran and Kurosu.

"We're supposed to go to a place called Platform nine and three-quarters; problem is there is only nine and ten." Zero said analyzing the numbers, he lifted a hand to his silver hair in an annoyed fashion.

"Couldn't have been more difficult could they?" Zero asked himself and felt yet another presence behind him. An almost vampire-ish presence, almost; something was off.

If that's Kuran, he thought turning around and saw a girl with bushy brown hair looking at him.

"Pardon. I could not but help overhear the fact that you were looking for Platform nine and three quarters." she said in an odd accent, it was most likely British. Despite misgivings Zero ducked his head in inclination. Figuring that he could blow her off later, right now he needed her help. Not that he'd ever admit he'd gotten lost.

She seemed to bounce on the balls of her feet a bit before gesturing.

"This way, follow me."

They obeyed her command. Even though the girl lacked long legs she moved fast through the crowd.

"Here it is!" The bushy brunette said pointing at the wall between nine and ten.

"Hermione!" shouted a boy with bright red hair who was standing with a group of kids.

"Ron! I met with a couple people who got lost." The girl with brown hair said in an apologetic way. Ignorance was a gift as she had no clue how easy Zero's pride took offense.

"Speaking of which, how do we get on there exactly? Walk through the wall?" Yuuki asked before smacking herself on the head at the obviousness of it.

"That's it!" the boy apparently named Ron said cheerfully.

"Though I don't get how that translates into you hitting yourself on the head." He added looking puzzled, not knowing how narrowly he was avoiding death by the hands of Zero and Yuuki.

Zero noticed a boy with black hair appeared to be looking at them nervously but shrugged it off. He noticed he seemed to be doing that a lot that day. Shrugging off problems that is.

They had gone through the barrier Yuuki lived up to her last name by being cross with the situation but having no intention of leaving. He noticed that many were staring at the prefect garb he hadn't taken off.

Let them stare! He thought in an Aidou like way.

The climbed onto the train after a few minutes of lolli-gagging.

They turned noticing that the black haired boy was talking with Hermione and Ron, looking slightly put out.

"You alright?" Yuuki asked unable to stand her curiosity, ignoring the glare she got from Zero. The black haired boy nodded trying to look cheerful but failing.

"Well, I'll see you aroun-"

"Harry!" Said a red haired girl who ran up to him, "Ginny want to go find a compartment?"

"You guys want to come with us?" Ginny asked turning towards them. Harry fidgeted and said,

"Do you guys want to? You're not forced or anything." It had undertones of wanting them to leave, and soon.

"Love to!" Yuuki said cheerfully her face shining with a smile. Oblivious to that she had once more earning her a glare from Zero. They followed them meeting up with a boy named Neville. The wooden interior of the compartments was serviceable not grandeur like Kurosu Academy. But nice in its own way.

"There's room here," Ginny said gesturing to a compartment when Zero felt it. He should have known better than to let himself get shoved around with those demand. He could almost feel his eyes glowing red.

"Are you alright?" Neville asked noticing Zero tense up. Yuuki nodded quicker then she had done previously,

"Go on, we'll be in there in a minute." She even used her hands to emphasize her point.

"But?" Neville asked, Yuuki leaned over and shoved him in the compartment. She didn't have time to be remorseful, as always she would be guilty later.

The cries of Neville were heard as they ran into the compartment to check on him.

Yuuki turned around to see a sort of cupboard, she figured it was for cleaning supplies or something and pulled Zero into it with her. Harry turned at the last moment and saw this pointing.

Ginny helped Neville to his feet wondering what that was about.

"Zero!" Yuuki hissed at him she had her neck near his mouth and they were uncomfortably close.

"Yuuki, I don't-"

"You don't have a choice! I snuck out of the Kurosu mansion to come and make sure everything here turned out alright, I'm not about to let you go Level E!"


Neville looked at it and gave a movement of approval. Harry reached forward and opened the cupboard. Yuuki had rewrapped the white bandage around her neck; she had been wearing it earlier making it seem irrelevant. She looked like she was taking out something like a syringe. –It came in handing having a needle hanging around- Zero had wiped his mouth albeit, on the inside of his coat. But it was so dark that it didn't show up.

"What?" asked the three who were outside the cupboard motioning to them.

"Well, err, you see," Yuuki said stuttering.

"I have a type of illness; it disturbs people if I use my medicine in public." Zero said in an attempt to sound sheepish. It looked like they bought it; he had low expectations for their intelligence. He was not a good actor.

"I'm normally with him to give it to him," Yuuki added, "We don't really tell people about it."

Ginny self consciously put her hand behind her head.

"I could understand that, it's just that we were concerned."

"Not to mention curious, we'll ask next time." Harry added trying to sound more mature then he was.

"Yuuki?" Zero asked uncomfortably.

"Yeah?"

Zero's eyes looked down at the compromising position they were in.

"Sorry!" Yuuki said un-wedging her self and tumbling out of the cupboard/closet. A blush dusted her cheeks.

"You try not getting stuck in that amount of space though!" Yuuki said heatedly crossing her arms.

"I did," Zero said in his calm way that just made Yuuki like him, and want to use Artemis on him at the same time.

"So err, do you mind if we sit here?" Ginny asked, startling everyone else who had forgotten about seating arrangements.

"Not at all," came a dreamy voice. That voice sent shivers down Yuuki's and Zero's spine.

"My name is Luna Lovegood," said the blonde who was reading a magazine upside down.

"Ginny Weasley," said the girl with bright red hair who had obtained seats.

"Harry Potter." The boy who busted the blood drinking ritual.

"Neville Longbottem," said the other black haired boy. Now it was Yuuki's and Zero's turn to introduce themselves formally.

"Kurosu Yuuki," Yuki answered ignoring the sympathetic looks.

"Kiryuu Zero," Zero answered coolly.

"So Kurosu, where are you from?" Ginny asked trying to make conversation.

"It's Yuuki," Yuki corrected feeling offended not knowing that there traditions were so different. She liked being informal. Unlike Zero who used last names but made them sound like insults.

"But if I call you Yuuki, It'd be your last name; I didn't mean to offend you with the cupboard if that is what this is about." Ginny said looking at her, and confusion grew when Yuki raised an eyebrow.

"But Yuki is my first name, the last name is said first where I'm from."

"Oh, sorry, so where are you from?"

"Kurosu Academy," Zero intoned with an icy look at Yuki telling her to not tell any more. As if she needed telling.

"Japan?" Luna asked in a misty voice. Her owlish eyes blinking over an upside down magazine titled 'Quibbler'

"Uhm, yeah." Yuuki answered nervously.

"Father said there is a vampire infestation there. Is it better?" She asked seriously as she ignored how Zero and Yuuki had 'oh shit' thoughts showing in their eyes.


"Ok now before we begin the Sorting!" a man with a long silver beard said at the table in the back of the room.

Many students whispered amongst themselves at this, he always announced after the Sorting or at the End of the feast.

"This year, Hogwarts participated in an exchange program! Two," 'Two? How did he know?' Zero asked himself giving the eccentric wizard a look whilst Yuuki liked a little scared.

"Transfer Students from Kurosu Academy!"

Yuuki rolled her eyes as a pin dropped in the Great Hall.

A tall women garbed in emerald green walked in with an old wizards hat and a stool. She set the hat on top of the stool.

"Let the Sorting Begin!" Stated the women.

With that the hat that had been sat on a wooden stool broke into song.

In times of old when I was new

And Hogwarts barely started

The founders of our noble school

Thought to never be parted:

United by a common goal,

They had selfsame yearning

To make the world's best magic school

And pass along their learning.

"Together we will build and teach!"

The four good friends decided

And never did they dream that they

Might someday be divided,

For were there such friends anywhere

As Slytherin and Gryffindor?

Unless it was the second pair

Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw

So how could it have gone so wrong?

How could such friendships fail?

Why, I was there and so can tell

The whole sad sorry tale.

Said Slytherin, "We'll just teach those whose ancestry is purist

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose Intelligence is surest."

Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those with brave deeds to their name,"

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."

These differences cause little strife

When they first came to light,

For each of the four founders had

A house in which they might

Take only those they wanted, so,

For instance, Slytherin

Took only pure-blood wizards

Of great cunning, just like him,

And only those of sharpest mind

Were taught by Ravenclaw

While the bravest and the boldest

Went to daring Gryffindor.

Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,

And taught them all she knew,

Thus the Houses and there founders

Retained friendships firm and true.

So Hogwarts worked in harmony

For several happy years,

But the discord crept among us

Feeding on our faults and fears.

The house that, like pillars four,

Had once held up our school,

Now turned upon each other and,

Divided, sought to rule.

And for a while it seemed the school

Must meet an early end,

What with dueling and with fighting

And the clash of friend on friend

And at last there came a morning

When old Slytherin departed

Ad though the fighting then died out

He left us quite down hearted.

And never since the founder four

Were whittled down to three

Have the Houses been united

As they once were meant to be.

And now the Sorting Hat is here

And you all know the score:

I sort you into Houses

Because that is what I'm for,

But this year I'll go further.

Listen closely to my song:

Though condemned I am to split you

Still I worry that it's wrong,

Though I must fulfill my duty

And must quarter e very year

Still I wonder whether sorting

May not bring the end I fear:

Oh, know the perils, read the signs,

The warning history shows,

For our Hogwarts is in danger

From external, deadly foes

And we must unite inside her

Or we'll crumble from within

I have told you, I have warned you...

Let the sorting now begin.

"A change in the order of sorting will occur." The woman with the hat said sternly.

"Kiryuu, Zero!"

Zero walked forward noticing that everyone craned there necks to get a good look at his face. He sat down on the stool the hat touched his head and he closed his eyes.

'Ahh, what a mind.' Whispered the Hat.

'What a mind.' Zero stated blandly.

'I know…'

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat called loudly. Zero stood up from the stool and sat near Hermione. Who looked enthusiastic at the new addition.

Lady-In-Green-Zero needed to get her name- called out Yuuki's name. She walked up to it in her normal ball of energy fashion.

It took awhile; coughs could be heard before she was sorted into Gryffindor. Zero had to fight a smile; he had no intentions of not going under a 'bad boy' reputation here.

They waited for the rest of the sorting to get done. Apprehension was the dominant emotion on their faces. Golden plates gleamed innocently on the wooden tables.

When the last person was sorted the old codger now known as Dumbledore stood up and made a very formal speech. It sounded like the norm, 'Do not turn others hair blue!'.

A lady who was dressed in bright pink (Dolores Umbridge), interrupted him. She kept on talking, her voice high-ish and sickeningly sweet. Her manner grudgingly reminded the Hunter of Hiou Shizuka. The same lethal intent in her movements.

"Prune back teachings that ought to prohibited." Was the only line that reached Yuuki. Even she had found that fishy. She was not alone, comparing to how Hermione looked distraught.

It took forever for Umbridge to finally shut up though; Zero had stopped paying attention and had wondered if the food was supposed to magically appear on the plates. Dumbledore said something akin to 'let's eat'.

Zero wondered if he and Yuuki were fine tuned to magic, because they had been guessing a lot of obviousness lately.

"So," started Ron in an attempt to catch Yuuki's attention. She looked at him with a smile. "We're you blokes from?" He asked between bites. His plat was piled high; it seemed a little dangerous.

They had left the two transferee's alone ever since Luna had asked her question about the vampire infestation 'Vampire infestation? What're you talking 'bout?'

Yuuki almost bit her lip but managed to prevent that action. No one needed Zero having a blood-lust attack. Something about his questioning made her feel like she was getting the third degree. "Nihon, Oita region," Yuuki fumbled around with the words in her head, "Japan Oita region, its up north."

Ron nodded as though she had imparted great wisdom as he attacked more mashed potatoes. The rest of the meal was uneventful.


"Ron they are not midgets!" The meal was uneventful but getting to their respective dorms was another problem…


A/N: Okay, so I looked up 'northern region of Japan' cause I wanted the Academy to be there and I got Oita region. Know anymore about that please tell me.

Now I'm a review whore and I don't care what you think as long as you comment, I accept 'hnn's' flames, praise, and attacks of the almighty spork! (Or Lucy-chamma's/Cassie-sama's choppysticks, and my marshmallow pokers, or whatever you come up with)

I also am unsatisfied with how I turned this out. I mean I like the scenario I keep putting out but the characters seem wrong, any help is welcome. PLEASE! Do I have to beg on my knees?

Goddammit. No offence to god, christians, or whateve religion... I'd like to know how I uploaded something on the BOTTOM of the list instead of this which was near the top.... grr... welll hehheh

I am an idiot...
