It Isn't Over Until It's Over
Chapter One
By: Alexandra Warkel
"Hurry up dears! You're going to miss the train!" yelled Mrs. Weasley. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were going on the train to go into their seventh year. Ginny was coming as well, only going into her sixth year. This would be the first year they would be going to school Voldemort-Free.
The four quickly grabbed their luggage and ran to the train. "Bye guys. I'll come and find you later," yelled Ginny. That left the golden trio to find a compartment for themselves.
"I still don't get what Voldemort said right before you killed him, Harry," said Hermione.
"Hermy, let it go. He's gone. What he said won't come true," said Ron exasperated. Hermione glared at Ron.
"Don't call me Hermy! But you are probably right. I'm just paranoid."
"Don't worry about it 'Mione. There is no way that he can come back even stronger. I destroyed the horcruxes; his soul is gone," replied Harry.
Hermione started to open an empty compartment door. "You're right. I'm just concerned that… oh. I'm sorry. I thought this compartment was empty."
Inside the "empty" compartment was a woman. She was a woman. She was of Japanese descent with long black hair and bright blue eyes. To Harry, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. "Oh, that's alright. You guys are welcome to come and sit. I'm Kagome Higurashi."
"Thanks. I'm Ron Weasley."
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Well, um, you probably know who I am."
"Um, I'm sorry should I know who you are?" asked the Japanese woman.
"I'm Harry Potter. I am kind of famous here in the wizarding world."
Her face remained really blank. "For beating You-Know-Who?" supplied Hermione.
"Who's that?"
"Merlin! You look a little too old to be a first year. What house are you from?" asked Ron.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. This is my first year being at a wizarding school," Kagome said quietly, looking down at the ground.
"Where are you from?" asked Harry.
"Tokyo, Japan," replied Kagome.
"Really? How can you speak English so well?" asked Hermione, leaning forward towards Kagome with a new interest.
"I've known English since I was five. I have been perfecting it as I go along."
"So, what are saying is, you know nothing of Voldemort and out encounters with him, basically nothing of the wizarding world?" asked Harry. Kagome nodded her head in confirmation.
"How did you become a witch, then?" asked Ron incredulously.
"I don't rightly know how Headmaster Dumbledore found me, but he sent me a letter saying I was accepted into this school."
The compartment door opened and in walked a blonde man with two slow ape-like-goons. "What do we have here? Potty, Weasel, and Mudblood. Oh and who is this lovely woman? You know, I wouldn't hang-out with this crowd; they are the wrong sort," said the blonde ring-leader.
"Kagome Higurashi and you are?"
"Draco Malfoy. This is Crabbe and Goyle. Why don't you and your fine ass come with me and help me polish my wand?"
"Hmm. Let me think about it….. No. And if you could leave us alone, it would be greatly appreciated."
"Ah, but you are a fine-looking wench. What-"
Kagome hadn't let Malfoy finish his sentence. She had shoved him up against the compartment wall, brandishing a silver dagger up against his throat.
"If you call me wench again, I will make sure you will not have a tongue to insult me, or any of my friends, with," hissed Kagome.
Malfoy just nodded his head, implying he understood. Kagome gave him one last shove against the wall and released him, slyly placing the dagger back in her boot.
"You still are fine-looking, however. You will be mine." And with that, Kagome made a move toward him; he moved out the door with his two goons.
After calming down considerably, Kagome sat back down in her seat. "Baka!" Harry and Hermione burst out in laughter.
"What does 'baka' mean?" asked Ron, who was a little confused.
"Idiot in Japanese," she replied.
"How did you get Malfoy so afraid of you?" asked a still laughing Hermione. Kagome pulled the dagger out of her boot and handed the handle to Hermione. "I put that against his throat. I don't take well to being called a wench." She stopped laughing and handed her back the dagger.
"But why would it set you off like that?" asked Harry. "Not that I have a problem with you doing that to Malfoy."
A flicker of sadness came across Kagome's face. "I don't want to talk about it."
"That's fine. You can tell us on you own time and when you are ready."
"Thanks, Harry." That is when Kagome noticed his piercing, beautiful green eyes. 'Wow. I have never seen any eyes like that since Inu- No! Don't think about him Kagome.' "So, can you guys fill me in no this whole wizardry thing?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Explaining the trio's story had taken up about one hour of there time on the train. They then got bored.
"Okay, now that we have told you everything, we want to know more about you," said Hermione.
"Okay. Like what?" asked Kagome.
"Do you… Ginny!" yelled Hermione.
"Hmm. What a nice question. Do you Ginny? I really don't have an answer to that one," commented Kagome, being sarcastic. Ron and Harry sniggered.
"Hahaha! Knee-slapper there! Anyway, this is Ginny. Ron's little sister."
"Oh. Hi, Ginny. I'm Kagome."
"Hey. So, what were you guys up to before I barged in?"
"Interrogating Kagome about herself," equipped Ron.
"Interrogating? Ron, you know the meaning of that word?" asked Harry.
"Shut up!"
"So, do you have a boyfriend?" asked Hermione.
"No." At this, Harry looked a little too happy and was officially zoning out. "Harry? You can join the living anytime," retorted Ron. He turned a bright red; even more than the trademark Weasley hair; that's saying something.
"Have you ever been in love?" asked Ginny.
Kagome paused at that. "I have, but it's complicated."
"How so?" asked Harry.
"He told me he loved me, but was lying and left with another girl, but it doesn't matter. I'm over it."
"I'm sorry," said Ginny.
"Forget about it."
"Who is in your family?" asked Ron.
Kagome shuddered and closed her eyes. "Kagome?" The Japanese girl took a deep breath and replied, "My father died when I was two, and my grandfather, mother, and my 15-year-old brother were murdered about 5 months ago." The compartment fell completely silent.
"Omigod. I'm so sorry," whispered Hermione.
"It's alright." Kagome furiously wiped at the tears that were insistently rolling down her face.
"So, anymore questions?" asked Kagome. Unsure if they wanted to ask another one, Harry came up with a non-personal question.
"What store did you get your wand from and what's in it?" They all looked at Kagome, waiting patiently for her answer.
"Well, um, that's the tricky part about me," she said as she looked into Harry's eyes. "I don't have a wand."
"Why not? I mean, you need one to do magic," stated Ginny.
"I am not exactly a witch. I'm a miko."
"Amigo? What's that?" asked Ron, accidentally pronouncing it wrong.
Hermione gasped. "I heard about those. You are a miko, or otherwise known as a Shinto priestess. They have some sort of spiritual powers, right?"
"Yeah, I am able to channel my power through my hands instead of using a magical wand. At first I didn't know that, so when I went to Ollivanders to find a wand, I picked one up and the wand itself burst into flame and landed in ashes on the floor. I felt so embarrassed. By the way, how do you know so much about my religion? Are you a Buddhist? They tend to go hand in hand."
"No, I'm Catholic," replied Hermione. "I just read a lot. Especially, well, at least lately, about."
"The feudal era of Japan," finished Ron, Ginny, and Harry in monotone voices.
"'Mione, give it up. That jewel of four souls legend isn't real," said Ron. Kagome just smiled to herself thinking 'They are in for one hell of a surprise.'
