Hey all, I've decided to try and work on the Year Two story as quickly as possible. I'm just so excited about the new movie coming out soon and so that should help in my writing these up as fast as possible. So I hope you all enjoy the next section of Demons at Hogwarts! Read on!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling owns all of that. I do NOT own Yu Yu Hakusho. Yoshihiro Togashi owns all of that. I DO own Alex and any other OC characters that appear throughout the stories. Thank you.

Alex flopped to the ground. "Alright, let's take a break!" She said. She was in the sheltered orchard near the Burrow, with Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara and Hiei. She had been training with them every evening since the start of the summer vacation. They had arrived at the Burrow only days earlier when she had received an owl from Ron saying that they had rescued Harry from his Aunt and Uncle. Yusuke and the others were staying at an Inn in the nearby village.

In her first year at Hogwart she and Harry had come face to face with Voldemort, although he was a shadow of his former self. At that time Alex's demon powers had awoken. She had learned that Koenma was not her biological brother, and that she and Harry had been together when Voldemort had killed their parents. Alex had also learned about the conflict that has been going on between demons and wizards, which she would learn more about in her second year. She had yet to tell her friends about her secret. Alex wasn't quite sure how she was going to break it to them. Dumbledore had also given her permission to tell the entire Weasley family. For the time being she had passed off her ever changing appearance to her being a Metamorphmagus.

Yusuke smirked. "Look at that guys, our little demoness is tired."

"Oh, shut up." She panted. Kurama smiled and tossed her an apple.

"Eat, you're just hungry. And Yusuke, lay off her. She's new to all this." Kurama defended her.

"Thanks, Kurama."

"So, what's it like staying with a family of wizards?" Kuwabara asked.

Alex sat up. "It's quite interesting. The Weasley's are a wonderful family. They make you feel at home." Alex looked around, making sure that no one was watching them. She slipped into her demon form. She had light brown fox ears and a light brown fox tail. "But something happened to me the other night."

"Oh, what?" Kurama asked.

"A house elf visited me. His name was Dobby, and he said that he didn't want me going back to Hogwarts. Something about it being very dangerous."

"Really? Whose house elf was he?"

"I dunno, couldn't really get anything out of him. And he disappeared as Ginny woke up."

"Very strange. We'll have to keep our eyes peeled this year." Yusuke said.

"Yea, and, apparently the same thing happened to Harry-"

"What happened to me?"

They all turned to see Harry, Ron and the Weasley twins coming through the orchard.

"Um, Alex, what's wrong with your ears?" Ron asked.

"Uh..." She couldn't get any words out.

"Maybe now's a good time to tell them."

"Tell us what?" Fred asked.

"Uh, let's go back to the Burrow. Everyone should hear what I have to say."

Fifteen minutes later, all of the Weasley's along with Harry, Yusuke and the gang, were gathered in the little kitchen.

"So Alex, what is it that you have to tell us?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore said I could trust you all with our secret." She took a deep breath. "I'm... a... demon." She braced herself for some yelling. But it never came. She looked around, all the faces didn't seem scared or shocked.

"Oh dear, we're so happy you finally told us!" Mrs. Weasley got up and hugged her.

"Professor Dumbledore sent us a letter at the start of summer telling us. Of course, we never told the kids." Mr. Weasley said.

Alex was dumbstruck.

"So you already knew?" Kurama asked, he and the others were about as shocked as Alex was.

"Oh yes, we just figured it was up to Alex to be brave enough to tell us."

Harry spoke up, "What's a demon?"

Alex giggled. "Why am I not surprised." She changed into her demon form. "I am a type of demon. There are thousands of different kinds in the demon realm. Some are good, some are bad. Lucky for you, we're the good guys."

"Hmph."

"Oh please shrimp, you're good too." Kuwabara said. Hiei glared at him.

"Koenma, my 'brother'. Is ruler of Spirit World. Where demons who pass away go." Alex explained. "The demon realm is where most demons live. Some manage to cross over to the human realm, where we are."

"Oh... so why did you have to keep it a secret?" Harry asked.

"Well, you see Harry, before You-Know-Who was around there was peace between the demon realm and the wizardary world. Then there were demons who sided with You-Know-Who during his time. And even after that, there were still demon supporters. But you'll be learning all about that in you History of Magic class this year." Mr. Weasley said.

"I think it's cool. We know demons!" Ron said excitedly.

"What kind of demon are you?" Percy asked.

"Ah, I'm a fire-fox shapeshifter. Thank you for asking." Alex replied.

"Hey Alex can we touch-"

"-your ears?" The twins asked. Alex laughed.

"Yea, I guess."

"They're sooo soft." Fred said, as they rubbed her ears as if they were good luck charms. Everyone laughed.

The next morning Alex came down the stairs fully dressed in dark blue flare jeans and a light yellow tee shirt, humming cheerfully, her hair was a rather vibrant shade of red and her eyes were bright blue. Her tail and ears clashed beautifully with her hair color. Alex looked just like a Weasley.

"Good morning Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Weasley. Morning Kurama, Hiei." She said happily as she sat down and grabbed some toast. The other boys were still asleep.

"Oh, for a moment I thought you were one of my own children." Mrs. Weasley said, laughing.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley. If you'd like I can change-"

"Oh, it's fine. You just gave me a bit of a start." She replied, waving it off.

"Morning Alex." Kurama said, eating some porridge. "You seem happy today."

"I just feel much better, now that I'm not hiding anything." She took a bite of her toast.

"Well, I'm glad Alex." Mrs. Weasley said, she was washing dishes. Harry, Ron and the twins trudged downstairs.

"Morning guys." Alex said.

They just gave little grunts. Ginny also appeared from the stairwell, she noticed Harry and sat as far away as possible from him. She was very shy around him and Alex figured she had a little crush on him. Harry and Ron took seats near Kurama, and the twins sat on either side of Alex, who had now busied herself with explaining the functions of airplanes to Mr. Weasley, who had a fascination with anything to do with Muggles. George looked over at Alex and said, "Did you suddenly feel like becoming a part of the family?"

Alex turned to glare at him and at the same time her hair shortened and became a deep blue. "That better?"

George glared back and was about to give a smart remark when the mail came.

"Here are your school letters." Mr. Weasley said handing them out to them all.

There was silence as they all read their letters. Alex's told her to catch the Hogwarts Express as usual from King's cross station on the first of September. There was also a list of new books she'd need for the new year.

Second Year Students will require:

The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 by Miranda Goshawk
Break with a Banshee by Gilderoy Lockhart
Gadding with Ghouls by Gilderoy Lockhart
Holidays with Hags by Gilderoy Lockhart
Travels with Trolls by Gilderoy Lockhart
Voyages with Vampires by Gilderoy Lockhart
Wandering with Werewolves by Gilderoy Lockhart
Year with the Yeti by Gilderoy Lockhart

Fred peered over at Alex's list. "You've been told to get all of Lockhart's books too!" he said. "The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher must be a huge fan- bet it's a witch."

"Oh joy, just what I need. A Lockhart fanatic." Alex said, setting her letter down.

"This lot won't come cheap." George said, glancing at his parents. "Lockhart books are rather expensive..."

"We'll manage." Mrs. Weasley said, but she looked a little worried. "I think we can get a lot of Ginny's things secondhand."

Harry turned to Ginny. "Are you starting at Hogwarts this year?"

Ginny blushed madly and nodded. Just then Ron's older brother Percy walked in fully dressed with his prefect badge pinned to his chest.

"Morning everyone." Percy said, sitting down in the last available chair but then jumped up again and pulled from underneath him a moulting, gray ball of feathers.

"Errol!" Ron said, taking the old owl from Percy and taking a letter off it's leg. "Finally, he's got Hermione's letter. I wrote to her to tell her we were going to try and rescue Harry from the Dursley's." Errol got up and flapped over to the perch. Ron opened Hermione's letter and read it aloud:

" 'Dear Ron,
" 'I hope everything went alright and that none of you are hurt and that you didn't do anything illegal to get him out of there. I'm very busy with school work, and we're going to London next Wednesday to buy my new books. Why don't we all meet in Diagon Alley? Let me know what's going on as soon as you can.
" 'Love from Hermione.'"

"Well, that'll work nicely. We can go and get all your things then." Mrs. Weasley said as she began to clear the table. "What are you all up to today?"

Harry, Ron, Fred and George were planning on watching Alex train with Yusuke and the others.

After everyone was cleaned and dressed, Harry, Ron and the twins made their way to the orchard where they found Alex, Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara already there and in their training clothes. Alex's hair color had changed again, it was now black with stripes of blue running through it. She had pulled it up into a ponytail. She was beating at a tree with a sword.

"Is that thing real?" Harry asked when they reached the group. Alex turned and smiled.

"It's very real." She tossed it and caught it by the blade, the handle pointing towards Harry. "Care to try?"

Harry was rather reluctant but gripped the hilt and Alex let go, the sword dropped to the ground. "It's... heavier than it looks." He grunted.

Alex took the sword back from him, laughing. "Yea, it's a training sword. It's suppose to be really heavy. That's how I get stronger."

Hiei stepped forward. "Are we going to sit here and chat like old women or are we going to train?" He asked.

"Sorry." Alex looked at him sheepishly. "Why don't you all sit by the trees there?" Alex pointed to a group of trees away from the dirt circle Yusuke had made earlier that morning. They went over and sat in the grass, they could still hear what was being said. "Alright, how are we doing this?" Alex asked Kurama.

"One on one." Kurama replied. "How about you start with Yusuke?"

Alex flipped her sword and sheathed it. "Gladly."

"Oh please. You couldn't beat me last time, what makes you so confident now?"

"I've been practicing." They stepped into the dirt ring and began to fight.

Harry, Ron and the twins watched as Alex took on Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama. They noticed that Alex was fast, cunning and skilled with her powers. Soon enough, she was facing Hiei. Alex pulled out her sword and so did Hiei. Hiei was a Slytherin at Hogwarts, and a friend of Draco Malfoy, Harry and Alex's 'enemy'. But Alex had long forgiven Hiei for siding with him, as she could tell that her well being would always come before his so called friendship with Malfoy.

Alex and Hiei had been going at it for almost an hour when Alex called out, "Wait!"

Hiei stopped mid-swing. "What?" He asked angerly. She was looking at the ground frantically her free hand at her neck. Then she bent over and picked something up.

"I thought it was lost!" The boys had gotten up from their spots in the grass and came over.

"What's going on?" Fred asked.

"I almost lost my necklace. I think Hiei took it off in that last swing." Alex said holding up the locket she had recieved from a secret admirer last Christmas. It was in the shape of a Quaffle, for Alex was one of the best Chasers on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

"I can't believe you still wear that!" George said. "Have you even figured out who it's from?"

"No. But who ever gave it to me, must have wanted me to wear it. Kind of like my ring from my mother." She showed them the silver band with the dragon engraved in it on her right index finger. "Then they know that I'm thinking about who it could have been from." After that they all sat around chatting and eating apples. The subject came around to school stuff.

"Dunno how Mum and Dad are gonna afford all our stuff this year," Fred said. "Five sets of Lockhart books, and Ginny's going to need robes and a wand and everything..."

Harry and Alex said nothing. They felt a bit awkward. For both of them each had a small fortune in an underground vault at Gringotts in London. For the other boys Koenma was paying for everything.

The following Wednesday they were up early. After a quick breakfast, they put on their coats and Mrs. Weasley grabbed a flowerpot from the top of the mantlepiece.

"Alright, Harry, you first dear." Mrs. Weasley said, offering him the flowerpot.

"I forgot, they've never traveled by Floo Powder. Sorry everyone!" Ron suddenly said.

"Never? But how did you get to Diagon Alley lasy year?"

"We took the Underground." Harry replied.

"Really?" Mr. Weasley said excitedly. "Were there escapators? How do they-"

"Not now Arthur!. Well, don't worry dears, just watch Fred and George first."

Fred stepped up took a pinch of green glittering powder and stepped into the fire place. He shouted, "Diagon Alley!" and threw the powder his feet and in a flurry of green flames he disappeared.

"You must remember to speak clearly, otherwise you might end up somewhere entirely different than where you wanted to go." Mrs. Weasley said as George disappeared in the fireplace. "Alright Alex, why don't you go next?"

"Okay." She took a pinch from the flowerpot and stepped into the fireplace.

"Remember to speak clearly, don't fidget and wait until you see Fred and George to step out of the grate." Mrs. Weasley advised. "And just relax, dear, you'll do fine."

Alex took a deep breath and shouted, "Diagon Alley!" and disappeared in a whirl of green flames.

It felt like she was being sucked down a giant drain, she could feel herself spinning around very fast, and there was a deafening roar in her ears. Alex didn't open her eyes, but all of a sudden she felt herself thrown out of the fireplace. She rolled and tumbled into someone. Alex shook her head and looked over; right into Fred Weasley's face. "Oh! I'm so sorry Fred!" She said. He stood up and then helped her could feel the blood rush to her face. George was laughing.

"It's alright. I, uh, shouldn't have been standing right there. I wasn't sure if it was you or Harry coming out of there, I wasn't really expecting a flying witch." He said. "Let's move out of the way."

Soon enough the other had come safely from the fireplace, Alex looked around. "Where's Harry?"

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley suddenly went pale. "He was right behind you!" They frantically looked around, they had all landed in the Leaky Cauldron, but Harry was not to be found.

"Come on, let's split up and look for him, maybe he didn't get too far. We'll meet at Gringotts in fifteen minutes." Mrs. Weasley led Ginny away along with Percy and Mr. Weasley.

The others walked out and made their way up towards Gringotts searching inside each shop. When they reached the marble white steps they still hadn't found him, but they did run into Hermione.

"Hello!" She said brightly, her brown hair flowed behind her as she came down the steps. "Is something wrong?" She asked looking at their downtrodden, soot covered faces.

"Harry's gone missing." Kuwabara said.

"Really? Isn't that him right there with Hagrid?" She said looking behind them all. They turned and sure enough there was Harry looking rather small compared to Hagrid.

"Harry! Hagrid! Over here!" Alex called. When he reached them she hugged him. "We were so worried Harry!"

"Harry what happened to your glasses?" Hermione said pulling out her wand and mending them with a spell.

"Thanks Hermione." He said taking them off and examining them, then he put them back on. "Thanks Hagrid, I think I'm alright now."

"Alright, now don't you go wanderin' off." Hagrid said and waved goodbye to the others. Just as Hagrid disappeared around a corner Mr. and Mrs. Weasley appeared looking relieved when they saw Harry.

"Thank goodness, Harry!" Mrs. Weasley said as she hugged him.

"We hoped you had only gone one grate too far." Mr. Weasley said. "Where did you end up?"

"In Knockturn Alley." Harry said as Mrs. Weasley let go of him.

"Well, you're just lucky Hagrid found you. That's a dangerous place." Alex put in. They all looked at her. "What? I've only been there to find out more about demons." She said.

"Come on, let's get inside. We've got lots to do." Mrs. Weasley ushered them inside before Alex could be bombarded with questions from the twins.

Inside they were able to meet Hermione's parents. Mr. Weasley was very excited to meet them, for they were Muggles.

"We'll meet you back here." Ron said to Hermione, when they were being lead away by the Gringotts goblins down to their vaults.

The way to the vaults were by train carts controlled by the goblins. The first stop was the Weasley vault. Alex's heart gave a horrible lurch when their vault door opened and there was just a small pile of sickles and one galleon. Mrs. Weasley quickly swept up the pile and they were off to Harry's vault. Alex looked over at him, and he looked like he was feeling bad about his small fortune just like she was. They arrived at his vault and he did his best to hide the piles of gold that filled the room as he swept up a bagful of gold. As soon as he was in the cart they took off for Alex's vault. She too, tried to hide the piles of gold that her mother had left for her. She filled a small bag of gold and left as quickly as possible.

Back outside on the steps they all separated. Mr. Weasley was taking Hermione's parents to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, Mrs. Weasley was taking Ginny to get her robes and wand. Fred and George found their friend Lee Jordan and took off with him. Percy went off on his own and that left the others for their own accord. "We'll meet at Flourish and Blotts in an hour to get your books." Mrs. Weasley told them.

They all decided to get their school things first before having a little fun. Harry told them all, as they made their way to Flourish and Blotts, that he had seen Draco Malfoy and Mr. Malfoy in one of the shops in Knockturn Alley. "Really?" Alex said. "Hiei, you could go hang out with your Slytherin friend." She teased. Hiei growled.

"That's not funny, Rowen."

"He even sounds like-" She trailed off as she looked at a sign outside the bookstore.

Ron read it aloud: "Gilderoy Lockhart will be signing copies of his new auto-biography Magical Me today..."

"Oh no..." Kuwabara trailed off. They walked inside where a large group of witches were clamoring to the back of the store, where Gilderot Lockhart would be appearing. They all squeezed inside and each grabbed a copy of The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 and made there way towards the front of the line where the rest of the Weasleys were along with Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

"I'm so excited, we finally get to meet him." Hermione said.

Alex scoffed. Hermione shot her a look, just as Gilderoy Lockhart stepped out from behind a curtain.

"There he is!" Mrs. Weasley said excitedly.

Alex exchanged uncertain glances with Harry. A photographer with the Daily Prophet made his way through the crowd and began snapping pictures, Lockhart posed like it was a natural thing for him to do, giving a shining smile. It made Alex want to barf. He looked over in the groups direction and spotted Harry and Alex's scars.

"It can't be..." He gasped. "Harry Potter and Alexandria Rowen. Here in Flourish and Blotts." The Prophet photographer turned and spotted them as well and grabbed their robes, dragging them up to stand with Lockhart. He grabbed their shoulders. "Nice, big smile you two. With the three of us, we'll make the front page of the Prophet." He smiled into the crowd and said to them, "When these two walked into Flourish and Blotts to purchase my new autobiography, Magical Me, little did they know that they would each be walking away with my entire collection. Free of charge!" He said and two shop assitants walked up, each with a large stack of books and shoved them into their arms. They walked away from the Lockhart as quickly as possible, back to the Weasley's. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley took the books from them so they could be signed and they left to the entrance of the store.

"Wow... that was just awful." Alex said, sinking against a stack of books right outside of the store. Just then Draco Malfoy appeared.

"Bet you loved that, Potter, Rowen." The pale, thin, blond Slytherin boy said, coming up to them all.

Ginny Weasley spoke up, "Leave him alone!"

"Look Potter, you've got yourself a girlfriend!" Malfoy chided. He spotted Hiei standing near Alex. "What are you doing here?"

Hiei smirked. "Alex is a friend."

Malfoy almost went paler. "Really?" He tried to keep his cool. "I didn't know that."

Alex smiled. "Is there a problem with that Malfoy?"

"I- well-"

"Draco, I hope your not causing any trouble?" It was Mr. Malfoy. He was as pale and as blond as his son.

"Hello Lucius." Mr. Weasley had appeared behind the group, Alex and Harry's books cradled under each arm.

"Arthur. Busy time at the Ministry, I hear. " Mr. Malfoy said. "All those raids... I hope they're paying you overtime?" He reached into Ginny's cauldron and grabbed a tattered book. "Obviously not. My, my, what's the use of being a disgrace to the name wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?"

Mr. Weasley kept his cool. "We have a very different idea of what disgraces the wizard, Malfoy."

Alex looked at Draco, whose eyes were glued to her. She sneered at him. He smirked, like it meant nothing to him.

"See you at work Arthur." Mr. Malfoy dropped the book back in Ginny's cauldron and walked out the door.

Malfoy gave them all one last glance, his eyes lingered on Alex, and then left to catch up with his father. Alex looked at Hiei, "What was that all about?" He just shrugged.

They all made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron, said their goodbyes to the Grangers, and took the trip back to the Burrow by Floo powder once again.

There you have it folks. The first chapter of Year 2. I hope you all enjoyed. Please review! ~Pices
