Elements of Wizardry
Chapter 1: The Transfers
Summary: Meet the Kinomotos, one of the most prominent vampire clan. Within their house are the twins Kinomoto Ranma Daisuke and Sayuri Tomoyo who are preparing to go to Hogwarts for their sixth and seventh year.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Yay, I'm going to a new school," the overly happy Daisuke exclaimed.
"Mom, that's not fair! I don't want to go to the new school. It's so far. Besides, I am content here, it's not like I'm failing," his grumbling twin sister, Sayuri said.
"Alright both of you be quiet! It's night time already and you're both going to Hogwarts whether you like it or not. I have already owled Dumbledore-sensei that both of you are going," their mother said sternly. "Now pack up your trunks and please Daisuke bring that noisy phoenix with you because I will not take care of him. I'm scared of him and he's scared of me."
"Of course I will mom! I can't leave Ketsuki behind. He's my familiar. I can't leave him," Daisuke stated.
"Fine but you owe me big mom," Sayuri huffed. "I didn't wanna go anyway…" she grumbled.
"Alrighty then Daisuke and Sayuri, go finish packing up your trunk. Call me if you need me."
oo-oo Daisuke's Room oo-oo
::Ketsu! Come on over here and help me, I need to get ready and pack up the last of my stuff.:: Daisuke shouted to his familiar.
In Daisuke's usually neat room, papers were scattered on his desk, clothes were in messy, but neat piles, on his bed, and just about everything else was on the floor as he tried to gather his belongings to pack for the upcoming year.
"Whatever. You are lucky you're irresistibly adorable and I'm your familiar," the black phoenix scoffed.
::Aw, thanks Ketsu. Now let's check the list.:: Daisuke said as he picked up his list. "Wand, Yukatas, Teddy, Ketsu's treats, PJs, bed sheets, pillows, iPod, laptop, DS, money, yaoi manga *teehee, better sneak it in*. Umm what else? I have my glasses, books, music sheets mirror and shoes. Now on to pack my bigger stuff," he said as he moved on to the next list. "Let's see, umm, broomstick, oboe, saxophone and bags. Oh Kami, this is a lot of stuff I have," he sighed looking at his packed trunk which had an expansion charm so most of his things would fit. Also, there was the case for his instruments, his book bag, portable wardrobe and the cage for the phoenix.
::Oh you noticed huh?:: Ketsu said.
::Shut Up!:: Daisuke said as he pouted. ::I'm going to sleep. Good Night.::
::Yeah, good night.:: Ketsueki said. He smiled as he remembered when Daisuke had found him in the forest.
((((Flashback))))
"Mommy, Daddy look! It's a pretty bird!" Daisuke said as he ran over to the sleeping phoenix. 'Pretty bird, me?' the bird thought.
::Yeah, pretty bird!::
::You can hear me?::
::Well sure I can.:: The young boy said. "Mom I want to take him home. Can I?"
"Of course honey. Your father and I agree." His mom said.
"Oh thank you mom and dad!" the young boy said as he threw himself in his parents' arms.
It wasn't until later the family found out that the black bird was a black phoenix hatchling.
::So Daisuke…umm…what's my name?:: the bird asked nervously.
"I want to call you Ketsueki!" he said with a grin.
::Blood? Why?::
::Because I'm a vampire! See?:: he said as he pointed to his small fangs.
'Well that explains the bond,' said the newly name Ketsueki.
((((End Flashback))))
'I can't believe that he is still my best friend… I need to get out more. The kid is making me soft.' Kestu sighed as he went into his slumber.

Meanwhile…
o-o-o-Sayuri's Room-o-o-o
::Sayuri will you please put down the stupid book?! You've read it 20 times and I counted so don't bother lying.:: Tsuki, the raven, said smugly.
Unlike her brother's room, hers was a complete mess. Everything was thrown in every direction. Clean and dirty clothes together in one pile, burned(?) papers on the side and her bag was open on the side. Only her books were neatly organized on a big bookshelf
::So you can count. Big deal. I can do it too.::
::That's not the only thing I do you know.:: Tsuki huffed.
::Fine, fine. You win. What do you want?:: She asked as she put down Hogwarts: A History Deluxe Edition.
::Pack up! We're leaving tomorrow and you haven't put all your stuff away yet! Look at your room. It's a mess!::
::But my bookshelf is clean! Isn't that enough?:: she asked her snow-white nightingale.
::No. You. Need. To. Pack. Up.:: Tsuki said slowly as if she was talking to a child.
::I'm not a kid you know::
::Well, you certainly act like one. Here's the checklist your adorable twin made for you so you won't forget what to bring tomorrow :: the nightingale cooed.
Sayuri smiled. It was so typical of Daisuke to help her with the organizational skills she lacked.
::Well, what about hi--:: she was cut off by Tsuki who said
::He's done already… So get going!::
::Alright! I will! Naggy Bird…::
::What was that?!::
::Nothing:: She smiled too sweetly.
After hours of work of packing, it was nearing 1am. "Alright, I have everything packed. Good night," she said quietly as she raced for her bed.
::Good night, then.:: the nightingale said.
-o-o- The next morning -o-o-
"Sayuri! Wake UP! We're goin to be late!" Daisuke screamed as he jumped onto his sister's bed. The rest of the household simply put on their ear plugs having been used to Daisuke's daily energetic routine.
"Daisuke…What? What time is it?" she mumbled and muttered tempus temporis. Her wand released purple squeezed numbers that arranged to form…
"What…KAMI! It's only 6:00am, Daisuke! We don't leave 'til 10!" she slapped the back of his lightly.
"Well, I know that you're slow in everything. So, being a great brother I am, I decided to wake you up so you wouldn't be running around like a chicken with its head off later," he explained.
::Okay, so why did you really wake me up?:: she said speaking to her brother through their thoughts.
::Well, I just really wanted to bother you. By the way, it's only 5:30am. I changed your clock. Again.:: He giggled as he ran out the door.
"Ugh, he will be the death of me one day," she mumbled remembering her brother knew his way around counter-spells and wands.
After a few minutes, she stood up and started getting ready. An hour later, she went to the kitchen to find her best friend and cousin, Nami there.
"Good morning, Nami," Sayuri said. "You're here early. Your mom couldn't wait to get rid of you?" she started cackling while Nami just rolled her eyes.
Surprisingly, this didn't faze any of the household as this was a daily thing they did.
"Alright kids, breakfast!" their mom said as the house elves appeared with the food.
"Thank you, Pudding," said Daisuke to the house elf who bowed. He started swallowing his pile of pancake drowned in syrup, quite respectfully mind you, as he downed his morning tea.
"You know Sayuri, your brother never ceases to amaze me even though he does that every morning." They both sighed. "I don't know why he never even gets fat on him! It's that damn vampire gene in him…" They nodded together in agreement.
"Speaking of vampire genes," his mom said talking to him quietly, "I also sent you to Hogwarts because they can teach you to brew a stronger bloodsbane potion and maybe you and your sister will be able to find your mate," she winked and Daisuke blushed.
"Okay," he mumbled as he continued to plough through his breakfast. They both sighed again as they finished eating.
(((About 9:00am in the airport)))
"Okay, I called your aunt and she will pick you up in London, so don't worry. If she's not there just call me. You know how she is." Their mom rolled her eyes and laughed. "Are all of you ready? Because I am, now scram! I'll see you on Christmas!" she winked and laughed.
"Mom, can we have a hug? We're not gonna see you for like half a year so…" Sayuri asked. She then proceeded to hug her kids and niece.
"Odaiba to London, now boarding please proceed to gate 2-D" the intercom said.
"Alright, mum bye!" Daisuke said adopting his British accent.
"Must you do that everytime we go somewhere?" Sayuri said. Nami just looked at Daisuke amusedly. "Come on, we need to board."
***Plane Ride for two days!!***
--(London, England)—
Daisuke started to stir awake. He was sitting in the window seat after much fighting with Nami so he could be the first to see their new home for the next year.
"Guys! We're here! Wake Up!" Coincidentally, the stewardess came and gave them their breakfast and told them that the plane will land in two hours. It was currently 8am.
"Okay, we're awake. Good morning," Nami said to both.
"Yay!"
&Two Hours Later&
"We're here! Oh there's auntie!" he cleared his throat and turned on his special accent ability (A/N: lol).
"Good morning auntie," he said as he ran up to her and gave her a hug. "London is so amazing. It's way different from home. Oh man, I haven't been here in a long time," he looked at Nami and Sayuri as they came over.
"Auntie, thanks for letting us stay over with you before we go to Hogwarts."
"Oh, it's no problem. Glad I could see you guys anyway! Come along you lot, the car is outside."
---ooo--- The Next Day ---ooo---
"Alright, you've been to Diagon Alley before. I'll leave you to it."
"Bye Auntie."
Sayuri turned to her brother and said, "Dai, we'll be walking around okay? You'll be fine by yourself right?" Without waiting for an answer, she dragged Nami away.
Daisuke rolled his eyes pulled out his Hogwarts School supplies list and started walking. Unfortunately, he didn't see the small group coming his way and bumped into a man. "Sorry," he said as he bowed his head.
"Are you alright?" the man asked. When Daisuke looked, he gasped. The man was handsome in everyway. Dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. And his face! He blushed and nodded. "Are you sure? You look a little red. By the way, my name is Paul and these are my friends Michael and Jayden," he motioned and said a small hi to them after recovering.
The guy named Michael asked, "Are you lost? 'Cause we are. What's your name?"
"Oh, Daisuke but you can call me Aaron, it's my preferred English name" he said when he recovered from shock. "And not really, but my sister and my cousin left me by myself here. If you want, I'll show you around," he smiled.
"Thank you, Dai-chan," Paul said as if they have been friends forever. Daisuke blushed furiously. "Even if we're North Americans, we learned languages from other continents too," he grinned. "You're Japanese, correct?" He asked as they started walking.
"Yes, we just got here yesterday. We're transferring to Hogwarts."
"No way! We're going too!" said an overexcited Jayden.
"Put a sock on it. You're too loud," Michael grumbled.
Jayden stuck his tongue out at him while Paul just rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about 'em, they're just bored and they're always like that anyway. So where are we headed?"
"We're going to the Gringotts first, so we can get some galleons and such."
"Oh, all right then." They headed to Gringotts. As they drew closer, they heard loud shouts and everyone on the group panicked but Daisuke. "What was that wailing sound?" Paul said unconsciously walking closer to Daisuke. He smells good, he thought licking his fangs. "Oh, I wouldn't worry so much about it. Sounds like my sister, they probably won't let her take out so much money," he laughed.
"Oh, great then! Nothing to be scared of…guys?" he looked at his two other companions giggling to themselves. "Oh, yeah totally no problem, boss." They winked and Paul noticed he was walking very close to Daisuke but he didn't move away. Sweet. He's not pulling away, he thought.
::Daisuke! You gotta help me! The goblins won't let me take money! They said I took out too much:: She started wailing in her head.
::You just had to cry in my head too, didn't you? Well I'm near the bank so just wait for me. You can take some of mine. Merlin knows where you use the money. I bet Nami saved her money::
::Yeah, sure and I have a piggy bank full of money for shopping.:: Sayuri countered back.
"…ai-chan? You're blanking out," Paul said worriedly.
"Oh, talking to my twin. Now I'm sure it was her in the bank. Let's go." When they entered the shop, a girl glomped on the vampire and raged bubbled on the blond man. Who was it anyway?!
"Yay! Now give me money so I can resume shopp—Oh what have we here?" she smiled slyly and approached Paul.
"A gay man, I'm so not interested," he crossed his arms and looked away. Why is he always bothered by girls…?
"Oh. Okay then." She turned back to her usual self and dragged Daisuke to one of the tellers.
"I'll be back. Just get your money for now!" he said.
When they got there, Sayuri said to the teller, "Hi my brother wants to make a withdrawal," as she pulled out Daisuke's key out of his pocket.
"Hey!" He said and smacked his sister in the head.
"Be right back." The goblin mumbled.
::So, your welcome. Now you can try to make a move on your 'friend'.:: She laughed.
::Shut up. He might not even like me:: Daisuke moaned sadly in his head.
::Oh please, he was basically holding your hand with you two so close together. What do you know, maybe he's your 'mate'.:: she winked.
Luckily, the goblin came back with a big bag of money. "Here is your money. Good day." The goblin grumbled somewhat politely. When they went out of the building Nami, Jayden, Michael, Paul and two other strangers were talking with each other.
"Hey guys, who is the redhead and…girl?" Sayuri asked.
"Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger," the brown-haired girl said.
"Well nice to meet you. I'm Daisuke Kinomoto or Aaron and this is Sayuri Kinomoto or Anna," he interrupted what his sister was about to say.
::Be Nice.:: he warned.
::Alright, Alright::
"Sorry, but professor Dumbledore have asked us to look for the transfer students to Hogwarts and help them around for their things. First off, I know none of you need to buy wands. So, we'll buy your books," Hermione explained and beamed at the last part while Ron just rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Let's go Hermione. Try not to drool on the books. Although, you might want to accompany the girl over there, she looks like you when people say books," Ron said pointing to Sayuri.
Daisuke just pushed her into the bushy-haired Gryffindor. "Take her." He simply said. When Sayuri recovered, they talked nonstop about all the books they have read and giggled to each other. Daisuke casually walked over beside Paul, who was behind the others and started chatting to him.
"H-hey Paul."
"So, a Kinomoto, huh? Aren't they one of the strongest vampire clan?" Paul said. "Dai-chan, can I see your fangs?" he smiled. He reluctantly opened his lips and showed his still small fangs. "Not of age yet? That means you haven't found…your mate yet?" Paul whispered while poking his fangs.
The vampire just nodded while blushing. "You wanna know what I can do?" He closed his eyes and when he opened them, they were purple and his hair was streaked with blue.
A Metamorphmagus, he thought.
"Yeah, a metamorphmagus! But not a lot of—hey what's wrong?"
"You heard what I was thinking?!"
"Well, yeah…aren't a telepathic?" Daisuke's eyes bulged out but he nodded his head as a lie remembering that other than her twin and familiar, only his mate can talk to him or hear his thoughts.
He's so lying, the blond man said as his features reverted to his former looks. He looked at the vampire mischievously then asking, "Really? Alright then." Paul walked closer to Daisuke like earlier and he saw him blush.
::Sayuri, I think Paul is trying to hit on me.:: He thought screamed.
::Isn't he like the only guy you've liked? Maybe he is your 'one'.:: she said and deepened her voice at the last word then laughed. ::Just wait till our birthday then you'll know.:: Then blocked her mind.
"Alright, you lot here we are. Flourish and Blotts, the most awesome wizarding bookstore in England." Hermione said while looking dazed at the same time with Sayuri.
"Oh god, she's at it again." Daisuke and Ron said at the same time. They entered the shop and the book-loving duo disappeared. After buying all their books, they left with their bag of books. Except for the two that had to have theirs delivered.
They went and bought other supplies and their robes. By the time they were done, it was dinnertime.
"That was some day. Do you guys want to go to The Leaky Cauldron? I'm starving." Nami said.
"Yeah, let's eat guys! All we've been doing is shopping." Jayden said. Everyone else agreed and went to find a seat.
Michael then turned to Jayden. "Yeah, but of course Paul is tired from hitting on Aaron all day and Aaron is tired from blushing."
They giggled together. "Will you both leave my love life alone. Creeps," Paul shouted. "Get over here." He motioned to the seats. "And you can seat beside me, Dai-chan."
::Dai-chan? You don't let anyone call you that, not even mom. Why him, huh?:: Sayuri mocked.
::Because I felt like letting him. Now don't you dare talk about it!::
"Hey, why are you looking grumpy? Did I do something wrong? I didn't mean to force you to sit here, you can move if you want."
"No, it wasn't you, Pauly." His eyes opened more but he continued. "My sister is annoying me, that's all."
Aw, how adorable, his sister and Paul thought coincidentally.
"Ah, I see." Paul just said.
"Alright then, let's pick what we wanna eat!" Michael shouted to the group.
"Hold on, can we wait for Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Harry Potter? Eh, why not?" Sayuri said nonchalantly.
Moments later, Harry Potter came in through the door way. After staring at the group, he waved and came over sitting beside Hermione.
Paul caught Aaron staring at Harry intently as if studying him. Of course, he kept getting jealous and angry. He had seen Harry Potter before in newspapers in Canada but he looked so different.
"Hey Mione, Ron. Are these the transfers?"
"That's us!" Paul grinned falsely.
"Ah, I see. Alright, welcome to England and very soon, Hogwarts," he beamed and shook everyone's hand. When Paul saw Aaron shake Harry's hand, anger flared up again and this time, Aaron felt it.
"Hey, are you okay this time?" Aaron asked worriedly and touching his arm.
Immediately, Paul calmed down. "Oh, yeah I'm okay, Dai-chan." Paul said.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's eat!" Michael said.
After enjoying their meal and getting to know one another, the group rose from the table.
"Well, wasn't that fun? I'm sure we'll hang out more during Hogwarts. See you guys later," Hermione said as the golden trio left.
"Well we need to go too. We're staying with my uncle," Jayden said.
"Bye!" Michael said.
"Good night, Dai-chan. I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express," Paul said quietly to Aaron and winked.
"Alrighty guys! Bye!" Sayuri shouted after them.
A/N: This was an introduction chapter for the six OCs and I put Hermione, Ron and Harry as well so you know it is a Harry Potter fiction. Lol! Well, if you are loving or liking it, thanks very much for reading and I hope that you continue reading and rating and reviewing.
Well, obviously there is a little something going on with Aaron/Daisuke and Paul. The others don't have their boyfriends/girlfriends yet but they will.
