Hello everybody! I don't own Harry Potter or Fruits Basket. That means the characters and setting are not mine!
It was raining harshly that day. The Sohmas were lost in England. All the juunishi (Zodiac members) had decided to take a break from life and go on vacation. By chance they decided to go to England. They have been there for about a week, today they were site seeing but now they are lost. In the middle of nowhere with no sign of civilization and it was still raining.
"Hiro-chan, I'm scared. Are we lost?" asked Kisa in a shaky voice.
"Don't worry Kisa. I'm sure we'll find a town soon," Hiro reassured while he squeezed her cold hand.
"Yuki, allow me to stand beside you with my parasol to keep you dry," offered Ayame.
"I'd rather die then share an umbrella with you," replied Yuki.
"Haa-san! I really need to go to the bathroom!" whined Shigure while doing a little dance.
"That's your problem," muttered Hatori.
"But Haa-san! I really have to go!" cried Shigure.
"Then go behind that tree," mumbled Hatori.
"Eww! That's disgusting!" complained Shigure.
"You either hold it in or go behind that tree. It's your choice," replied Hatori.
"Haa-san! This is so uncomfortable!" sighed Shigure.
"It's your fault for drinking so much," murmured Hatori.
"Kyo-kun! Don't wander off so far!" called Kagura.
"Don't follow me then!" yelled Kyo.
"But you'll get lost by yourself!" cried Kagura.
"Like I would be stupid enough to do that!" snapped Kyo.
"I'M SO SORRY! IT'S ALL MY FAULT THAT WE'RE LOST! IT'S MY FAULT IT'S RAINING! I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN INTO THIS WORLD PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" pleaded Ritsu.
"Hee hee," giggled Shigure as he poked his side.
"Honestly Shii-chan! Now you're the one who has to carry Ritchan to town!" exclaimed Momiji.
"Awwwwww! Do I have to?" asked Shigure.
"You're the one who made him faint," muttered Yuki.
"But he was getting so annoying!" argued Shigure.
"So?" asked Kyo.
"It's still your fault!" replied Yuki and Kyo.
"Awww!"
Rin stumbled forward slightly tripping.
"Are you okay?" asked Haru as he helped her regain her balance.
"I- I'm fine," murmured Rin as she wobbled forward.
"Are you sick?" asked Haru worriedly.
"Don't wo- worry abo- about meeee…" choked Rin as she fell backwards fainting.
"Rin! Rin! Wake up!" yelled Haru.
No response.
Haru lifted her up, carrying her on his back.
"Now we have two unconscious Juunishi…" mumbled Kureno.
"We need to find shelter soon…" replied Kagura.
"But where…?" asked Kyo.
"Wait! There seems to be light coming from there!" exclaimed Ayame pointing dramatically to the distance.
"For once, you are right Niisan. It seems to be either a large house or a building," described Yuki.
"Maybe they'll let us stay there…" mumbled Haru.
"They'd better!" I can't stand it out here!" cried Kyo.
"Awwww… Does the little kitty not like the rain?" teased Shigure.
"SHUT UP!" roared Kyo.
"This is a rather big place… I wonder what it's used for…" muttered Kagura.
"But it looks kinda broken…" replied Kisa.
"If you look carefully it's not….," Hatori told them.
"It doesn't make sense. How can a building look broken and in good condition at the same time?" asked Haru.
"Maybe it's magic!" exclaimed Momiji.
"It must be some sort of protection spell…." Breathed Hatori.
"It doesn't matter. We just need some place to stay tonight," Yuki told them.
"That is if the rain stops…." Shigure responded.
"Eh?"
"It's been raining pretty hard for a while… It almost seems unnatural…" explained Shigure.
"Well, hopefully they'll let us stay then…" mumbled Kureno.
"Who wants to knock on the creepy door?" asked Kagura.
"I will!" sang Momiji reaching out his hand but before he could even touch it the door flew open.
"Who goes there?" boomed a mysterious voice.
"We need a place to stay until the rain stops!" replied Momiji happily.
"A tall silver haired man wearing half moon spectacles stepped out staring at them.
"Foreigners? I don't understand a thing you are saying… Egaugnal!" cried the man waving his wand at them.
"What did you do to us you old man?" screamed Kyo.
"A simple spell so we can understand each other," he replied.
"Spell?"
"Yes a spell. Now who are you?" asked the man.
"We are the Sohmas, who are you and where are we?" replied Shigure.
"This is Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. I'm the head master Albus Dumbledore," Dumbledore introduced himself.
""Whatever! Now let us in already! We're soaking wet!" yelled Kyo.
"We have two injured people," Hatori added.
"I'll trust you Sohmas but if you are going to cause us any harm I'll assure you that you won't be unpunished," replied Dumbledore as he stepped aside.
"What are you going to do? Curse us? Well that's too late. We're already cursed…"
"Albus! What is the meaning of this! Who are these people?" asked a stern looking woman who was running towards them.
"Professor McGonagall, they are the Sohmas… They'll be staying here until it stops raining," replied Dumbledore.
"She looked a little surprised but nodded.
"Show them to the hospital wing. They have injured ones among them. Then bring the rest to the guest rooms," instructed Dumbledore.
That was a couple of years ago. The rain lasted for two weeks. They called these storms God's tears. Since then they haven't heard a word from Hogwarst until now. Yuki clutched the letter re-reading it several times.

"This is stupid! Who wants to go anyway! And what do they mean await our owl!" mumbled Kyo as he tossed his letter aside.
"I'm guessing this owl," replied Yuki as an owl flew into the house.
"Aww! Kyon Kyon doesn't want to go anywhere without Tohru-kun!" teased Shigure.
"Shut up you damn dog!"
"Shigure, why bring up Honda-san?" We haven't seen her since she moved to Hiroshima with her grandpa two years ago," reminded Yuki.
Little did they know Tohru was reading the same letter from Hogwarts.
"Witchcraft? Wizardry?"
