I LIVE! I hope you guys enjoy this. For those of you who just jumped to this one, this is the sequel for The Celestial Warriors. I've been jumping from the Digimon Wiki to my Harry Potter books and back to make sure that I'm getting all the information right. Just so all of you know, I completely disregard the ending for Tamers and Digimon Adventure 02, you'll find out why that matters later. Again, I hope you enjoy and will review. I need feedback!
:[] Rawr!) This is the feedback monster. He needs me to feed him otherwise he will eat me, or he'll keep pooping out plot bunnies, and I've got enough of those right now!
Chapter 1: Beginning Again
"I'll tell you later, but for now, there's someone here to talk to you." The doctor said, moving to the side as Koji and Koichi moved forward.
"Hey sis." Koji said, placing a hand on Konomi's shoulder.
"Told you." Koichi added. Konomi raised her one remaining hand to grab Koichi's, not noticing that her tears were beginning to spill over. When a stream of water broke away from her eye, coursing down her face, Konomi raised her hand in surprise, looking at the water on her fingers from her pale, drawn face.
"I-I'm crying." She murmured, "I didn't think I had any tears left, but I'm not sad." Koichi smiled and pulled her closer so he and Koji could wrap her in a hug.
"You can also cry because you're happy. You've found what you've been looking for." The elder of the two twins said, making Konomi completely dissolve into tears and heavy body wracking sobs.
~Two years later~
Koichi yawned as he padded into the main room of the house. His mom looked up from the table, her coffee cup still wafting steam up into the still chilly morning air. Before he could say anything, the dark haired teen yawned again, stretching his arms above his head.
"Good morning Koichi." Ms. Kimura said, smiling brightly.
"M-morning mom." Koichi murmured, just barely reigning in another yawn, "Where's Konomi?" His mother's bright smile dimmed a bit.
"She just got home a few minutes ago. She came in the door and nearly fell asleep on the couch. She's in her room now. Poor thing, they're working her much too hard." Koichi had to agree with his mother.
It had been two years since that day, the day that Konomi and Koji had come into his life, and Konomi had soared through her last prospected years of college in one year, finishing faster than even she had imagined. Koichi sighed as he poured himself some cereal, dousing it with milk and beginning to eat. The day after had been almost as important. It had been the day, or rather evening, that the owl had come to his window. Koichi smiled even as he remembered it, his excitement as well as his mother's. The dark haired teen had been hearing stories from his mother's own training for years, and had been dying to get his own letter. He had been surprised however, when he had gone to the shrine where he would begin training, to see, not only Koji, but Takuya, Zoey, and J.P. there as well. And what kind of training was it? Koichi smiled as his mom flicked her wrist, the thin piece of wood in her hand conducting the dishes to float to the sink as she began to wash them. Magic, even the limited amount they were allowed to use in the city was amazing. What was even more amazing, was that Tommy, and Konomi, had also gotten their own letters for training.
Koichi grabbed his school bag, today was the last day of his make-up classes for being so sick this semester, wand safely hidden in the disguised pocket, and slid his shoes on.
"I'm off mom! See you after classes this evening!" Koichi called, as he opened the door, "Give Konomi a hug for me!" Then he was gone. Ms. Kimura sighed, watching her oldest son running off.
"Mom?" The dark haired woman turned to see Konomi, the daughter she had thought she lost, standing in the doorway of the kitchen.
"What is it? Is everything okay, Konomi?" she asked, moving forward to place a hand on her daughter's shoulder. Konomi hesitantly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. In the two years since her trip to the Digital World, Konomi hadn't physically changed much. She still wore mostly black, long-sleeved shirts with dark jeans, gloves and shoes, though right now she was wearing an oversized t-shirt and baggy shorts that she slept in, showing her metallic limbs. However, it was much easier to get a laugh or a smile out of her, and she was much more open about her thoughts.
"Um, you know the Quidditch World Cup finals are coming up soon?"
"World Cup? Oh yes! The final match between Ireland and Bulgaria. Isn't it being held in Great Britain?" Ms. Kimura asked. Konomi nodded.
"I-I've been chosen to go as a delegation for work." She said quietly.
"Oh Konomi that's wonderful!" Tomoko exclaimed, pulling the thirteen-year-old in to a hug.
"Thanks mom." Konomi murmured, "I also was given some extra passes." Her mother smiled.
"You want to take your friends." Konomi nodded, "Then go ahead, you know I don't really like Quidditch. You go and have fun." Konomi smiled at her mother's words, turning back to go to her room, but paused in the doorway.
"Ah, there's something else." She murmured.
"What is it?" Tomoko asked. Konomi put a hand on the doorframe and half turned towards her mother.
"Me and six others are going to be participating in a three year transfer program with one of the best wizarding schools in Britain, Hogwarts." The teen said, waiting for her mother's reaction. Ms. Kimura smiled gently.
"So, when do the others get to know about it?" she asked.
"Later today." Konomi said, grinning.
"Then I expect that I'll have to make something special for dinner to celebrate." Tomoko said. Konomi nodded and shakily walked to her room falling onto the bed with a 'thunk' and immediately going to sleep.
The afternoon light was coming in at an angle that was nearly blinding. Koichi grimaced slightly, moving his hand to shade his face before going back to this work. On the other side of the room, Koji and the rest of his friends were working on their own set of work. The Yangs were working on transfiguration today, something that Koichi knew that Takuya struggled with, while the Yins were working on magical history essays. The door to the shrine slid open, and Koichi glanced up from his work, a grin splitting his face. Konomi trudged into the room, slipping her shoes off and sliding on some slippers. Koichi waved her over, Konomi was part of the Yin group, and the dark haired girl slowly made her way over, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
"You're a little late you know." Koichi said as his sister sat down. Konomi blinked tiredly as she pulled her notebook and history book from her bag.
"I was tired. We had seven runners last night, and I found five of them." Koichi winced at the news.
"That bad huh?" he said, drying the ink on his parchment with a wave of his wand. Konomi nodded and set her brush up, dictating in a murmur what she wanted it to write. Konomi was the only one who was allowed to do this, reason being that her handwriting was horrible now, due to her lack of control in her wrists, and more often than not she was unable to hold brushes, or the quills western wizards used, without crushing or snapping them.
"Mail come yet?" Konomi asked, turning away slightly as her brush was left to finish the paragraph. The older twin shook his head.
"No, but it's due anytime now." Konomi nodded, tapping her brush with her left pointer finger.
"Fix that, rebellion has two 'L's' not one." She said. The brush halted, skittered back over the page and fixed its mistake. As Konomi left the brush to finish, again, there was a flutter of wings from above. Six huge, great grey owls dropped in from the openings above the rafters. One dropped a letter in Koichi's lap, while the other five dropped their letters on Koji, Zoey, Tommy, Takuya, and J.P.'s heads.
"What the-!" Takuya exclaimed, startled by the sudden appearance of a letter on his head and releasing the spell he had been using, the halfway transformed book reverting back to its original form rather than the bamboo stem he'd been trying to make it into.
"Letters to us?" Zoey murmured, opening her own. Konomi closed her eyes, already knowing what they said.
"Would you six and Konomi come here please?" the soft voice made Konomi look up. At the front of the room stood Kamiya-sensei. The young woman smiled slightly, her strange red eyes gently catching all of the teens' attention. Konomi rose, making her way to the front. The others scrambled after her, following the thirteen year old and priestess into the next room. Tommy slid the door shut once he was inside and sat down between J.P. and Takuya. Kamiya-sensei cleared her throat slightly.
"You all just received letters from Hogwarts, a wizarding school in Britain. You have been chosen for a three year transfer program," the brown haired woman said. For a moment, all was silent. Then a broad grin lit up Takuya's face.
"Oh yeah!" he exclaimed, punching the air. Koji and Koichi shared a smirk, or in Koichi's case a smile, while Zoey and the other boys joined in Takuya's cheering.
"That's not all!" Kamiya-sensei nearly had to shout to be heard, "As you surely know, the Quidditch World Cup is being held a week from next Monday. As you also know, Miss. Kimura holds a position in the Ministry. She is being sent as a Japanese representative to the World Cup, and has been given six extra tickets." Takuya nearly knocked Konomi over as he glomped her, making the dark haired girl shriek in surprise.
"Please tell me you're taking us!" the goggle wearing teen exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm taking you guys! Now get off me!" Konomi shouted, heaving and managing to throw him off.
"You are?" Koichi asked. Konomi nodded, rubbing her neck with her gloved hand.
"Yeah, we'll be staying at a place called the Leaky Cauldron for the remainder of the summer after the Cup, then we'll do our school shopping and go to King's Cross on September first for school." she explained.
"Wait, what about our Muggle schooling?" Zoey asked. Konomi shrugged.
"Frankly, I don't know. We'll be overloaded with the work for Hogwarts, so you won't be able to receive it and do it over there. Technically, you don't have to do Muggle schooling anymore, you're only required to have pre-secondary schooling, but you can continue if you're so inclined." she said.
"Who cares? We're going to the World Cup!" Takuya shouted.
The streetlights were casting a honey glow over the sidewalk as Koji walked home with his brother and sister. During the summer, he was staying with his mom and siblings every other week, and then going back to his dad's house.
"I can't believe that we're going to be spending three years away from home." Koji murmured.
"Nor can I." Koichi agreed, though slightly less enthusiastically.
"We'll be coming home during the summers you know." Konomi added, watching her feet as she walked.
"Yeah, but still, we're gonna be gone for most of the year." Koji said, looking at his sister, "Do you have to work tonight?" Konomi nodded, looking slightly depressed.
"I hope we don't have a lot to do tonight," she said quietly. Koichi pulled her into a one armed hug and rested his head on hers.
"It'll be fine, you'll be able to get away for three years," the elder twin said as Koji joined the walking wall.
"Yeah, no more having to stay up late every night and get up to go to class just to hear Takuya make a fool of himself." he added, making Konomi laugh.
"Now, who's making a fool of whom? Takuya or you?" Koichi asked, making Koji grimace. Konomi laughed harder, tugging on Koji's ponytail, which had grown in the last two years to reach his lower back, ducking out from under their arms and speed walking the last few feet to their front door.
"I bet I can eat more than you two!" she called before skipping inside.
"Oh no you don't!" the twins yelled in unison, running after her.
