A.N.: First I must say that english is not my mother language. I'm writing for fun and as a way to practice my grammar and spelling. I appreciate constructive criticism and any other tips you might want to give me.

This start around the third book, but since Fred and George have little importance to the main plot, this fact will only used as a line to connect certain events.

Thank you all. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter One - The Weasleys

Inside the famous Leaky Cauldron, at the bar sat Kagome Higurashi. Not that any of the others occupants should know who she is. She arrived at the place last night with nothing but her current possessions, a bag with money in local currency (something that she have no idea how worked), a list of things to buy for her new school and a map to help herself around. She had to hurry.

The one who brought her here, an old man wearing gray robes and half-moon glasses, said it was unwise for them to stay at her side in her situation and that she would have enough protection for the night in the bar. He would send instructions along the day. All that she know is that she must find a new bag fill in it with interesting items like a cauldron, a wand, school uniforms, strange titled books. Kagome just hoped that there's enough money for everything.

She eat a quick breakfast and stood to leave toward the door. Tom, the owner, indicated her a wall. Picking a wand, he pressed a brick and the portal to the Diagon Alley was shown. Too stunned to say anything else, Kagome thanked the gentleman and left.

Overwhelming. The only word to describe this experience. When they told her magic was real, she never expected THAT. Flying broomsticks, magical hats, people talking freely about spells, transfiguration, unicorns, giant spiders (one thing that she did not like), playful ghosts, and more! The wand she choose, or that choose her, according to Mr. Ollivander, felt great in her hands and she can't wait to test her miko powers in it! The school uniform was also really nice, making her figure look exquisite, if she could flaunt herself a little. The most tempting shop was the book shop. There are so many books she wanted to read, about potions, spells, creatures and mostly history. But she didn't knew how her school year would be. Back in Japan, she was about to enter High School, however Mr. Dumbledore informed that she will be placed with the fifth year students due her age and her schooling would be discussed with the professors.

With a heavy sigh, she stopped at the Ice Cream shop. Putting down her new backpack and suitcases, Kagome checked the clock. It was mid afternoon, too late for lunch, too early for dinner. Not wanting to go back to the bar/inn so soon, she decided for a well deserved milkshake.

Fred and George Weasley were dining with their family the last night before the new school year, their fifth. But there was a vacant chair in front of them. Mom, dad, Percy, Ron, Ginny and Harry were already at table so who they were expecting to take that seat? Suddenly, Tom called for Mr. Weasley, who excused himself and went upstairs with Molly. The twins took the opportunity to tease Percy and his new promotion to Head Boy, the dear badge safely taken away for further mischief.

After several minutes, their parents were coming back with someone who took their breaths away. Wearing a mid thigh length deep blue summer dress and flat sandals was a stunning asian woman. She was small, reaching their shoulders maybe, with long midnight hair and deep big blue eyes. Light tanned skin and a fit body, like someone who workout a lot maybe. She was biting her lower lip in a cute manner and not focusing her eyes in anyone, a clear show of embarrassment.

The trio was getting close. Fred straightened himself in the chair and George did the same. For a millisecond the brothers shared a glance.

"Have you seen that beauty before, dear brother of mine?" asked Fred softly, for their siblings have yet to notice their parents returning and keep bickering.

"Of course not, my handsome twin. Even if I did, I would never hide such a lovely view from you." answered George with a grin.

The conversation around the table stopped with the loud sound of Arthur clearing his throat to get his children attention but it was Molly who spoke.

"Kids, earlier today the Minister sent your father a message about a transfer student from Japan. Since it's her first time in England we are to help her to pick the train to Hogwarts tomorrow" Molly took a step to the side to show the new girl. "Kagome, dear, could you please present yourself to my children and their friend Harry?"

"Ha-aa-i. I mean, yes, Mrs. Weasley" she heard a soft 'Just Molly, child' in response. "My name is Kagome Higurashi, nice to meet you" Kagome bowed down to her waist, red faced. Gathering a bit more confidence, she said, "I'm 15 years old. I'm going to Hogwarts to increase my studies in magic as a request from Mahoutokoro's headmaster. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu" another deep bow.

"Let's drop the formality" Arthur said, "Please, Miss Higurashi, take this seat we saved for you and enjoy your dinner while you get to know our humble family".

"Thank you, Mr. Weasley" She took the pointed seat "Please call me Kagome, all of you. All this miss stuff is making me feel too old".

Molly and Arthur went back to their previous seats and for once Percy was relieved. Now his brothers will pester someone else.

Kagome was trying to ignore two pair of chocolate brown eyes staring intensely at her since she came down stairs. These twins whose name she did not know yet have been openly checking her out from hair to toes and from the smirk in their lips and glint in their eyes, they liked the view. It was a big boost to her ego after what she had to endure the past months with Inuyasha. Sure, he was her dear friend, but constant negative criticism and comparison with Kikyou made her sad a handful times. But now it's in the past and she can really be a teenager in a environment she could never imagine.

Kagome's worst nightmare was to finish the jewel search and be forced to go back to her old routine. School, tests, gossip, celebrities. She wanted nothing to do with it. Where's the emotion in knowing what your favorite singer likes to eat? What's the adventure in picking the bus and going to school every day, monday to saturday? After experimenting the taste of mystical experiences, you can't just go back to your 'muggle' life. She never expected things to turn the way they did but the hell if she's not going to make the best of the present situation.

Mrs. Weasley presented the table. The only dark haired was a thirteen years old boy named Harry Potter. For some reason, he eyed her as if expecting some kind of recognition from her. Too bad, or good, for him that she knew close to nothing about the wizard's latest gossip. The next was Ginny, the only girl, three years her junior. Same age as Harry was Ronald, also known as Rony. The serious boy, Percy, two years her senior. And finally the twins, Fred and George, who shared Kagome's age.

The moment of contemplation was over when the interrogatory begun. It was a moment Kagome dreaded because lying have never been one of her talents. Hopefully her months with the hentai houshi would be useful.

"Kagome, why did you transfer to Hogwarts? I heard that Japan's School is one of the best." Ginny, happy to have another girl around, was the first to make questions.

'If you say so'. Was Kagome's first thought. To be honest, she knew the place only by name. Her contact limited to a few words that made her choose to leave Japan for the time being. She could not tell the truth in case of any eavesdropper, so she came with the best half truth for the moment.

"You see, my family comes from a long line of shrine priestess, however the last one with real spiritual powers were born centuries ago. The last year, when the headmaster detected my miko ki in display after some nasty events, he decided to provide me with the best knowledge available and was humble enough to admit that my studies must go further than what Mahoutokoro could provide. Since there are no other mikos to help my training, I'm hoping Hogwarts library will help my research."

"So you are a muggle born, Kagome?" Arthur asked. The table, except Kagome, rolled eyes for the question

"Yes, Mr. Weasley. As far I know, no one in my family revealed talent for witchcraft in generations."

Before Arthur could inquire more about the muggle's life in Japan, there's was a loud ring coming from Kagome's purse. She opened it and took a small object, like a can, and from inside it the picked a small scroll emanating a bright light. With a quick bow and a low excuse, the left the table to her room. The other occupants were confused, never seen such a thing before.

After nearly ten minutes, Kagome was back to the table. Ron was teasing Percy for his new girlfriend while Molly scolded him. Mr. Weasley was eating his food quietly while stealing furtive glances to Harry, who seemed to not notice. Fred and George took this opportunity to have her undivided attention.

"Kagome, what was that thing earlier?" Fred asked.

"Oh, this?" Kagome picked her can "It's a communication scroll. The ring was the notification of an urgent message."

"Cool! How does it works?" George was curious.

"I don't really know. It was given to me just yesterday with some basic instructions" Kagome said in defeat.

"Wanna try out and see what use we can do of it?" Fred asked.

"Sure!" answered George and Kagome at the same time. Kagome flushed a little and George faked a sheepish smile for her sake.

"I have a few unused back in my pack. If you wish, I can give you some to try your magic in it." They nodded. "Nice! I'm in room 16, meet me after dinner"

"It's a date!"

The rest of the dinner was a pleasant experience. Kagome learned about her new school, the teachers, fellow colleagues, quidditch. In change, she shared about her life in Japan, family, friends, her family's shrine and its history, avoiding at all any mention of Mahoutokoro. Thankfully it was late and Molly sent the kids to pack up for the next day. Not before advising Kagome about the use of technology around most wizards. While they did not mind, there are others who may find disrespectful and most "pure blood" kids probably will not see such things in their entire life.

Going back to her accommodations, the asian girl changed into sleeping clothes and picked up her backpack to store her possessions while waiting for her guests.

Enchanted was a good word to describe the Weasley twins that moment. Not just by that communication scroll thing but Kagome herself. She was very good at storytelling while trading funny stories about her last summer vacation in Japan, when she went camping for several weeks with a bunch of interesting friends. From an yellow tattered bag she picked a common photo album and showed them her family and a few friends. For some reason, her voice and eyes were saddened, as if those people were out of reach.

Fred eyed his twin and each took one of her hands in a friendly hold. They didn't knew what was bringing such a longing to her face and she probably didn't knew them that well to share yet but the message was clear: we are here for you. In response, Kagome hugged them trying, and failing, to hide a tear while murmuring "thank you".

It was past midnight when they left her room.

The following morning was a hurry. Ginny helped Kagome to set aside some things she would not need at Hogwarts. Molly gently offered to store they at The Burrow, adding a not so subtle invitation for visiting soon.

After paying her expenses, Kagome was thinking about waiting outside when noticed a huge spider web at the Leaky Cauldron's door rim. She gulped while an unpleased goosebump went down her spine. Double checking if the fractured Shikon no Tama was still hanging under her clothes and her bracelet was put on, the Miko took a deep breath and joined in the conversation with Molly, Ginny and Hermione, a girl around Harry and Ron's age, about a love potion.

When the cars arrived, they quickly put their luggage on and left for King's Cross Station. A surprisingly short trip, as if there was no traffic at all.

Fred and George, once they found a compartment for their trunk, went for Kagome, who was watching the changing landscape through the train's windows, rosy lips in a curious pout. Her hand was trying to hold a rebel lock of hair behind her ear as for the wind keep messing it. A vision of an unguarded fifteen year old girl as it should be, nothing like the sad one they have seen last night.

When Kagome turned to greet them with a shining smile, Fred looked at George, George looked at Fred and a thought passed quickly in their minds: They wanted to see that smile for the rest of their lives.
