It's fun to play in the world that J.K. Rowling has created and she gets the credit. I do not own any characters but the OCs. Thanks for taking a peak at what I have been working on.

Story starts during the Chambers of Secrets and loosely follows the story line.

Thanks Allie for the encouragement.

Two small children ran through the woods towards a house. Laughter filled the clearing, as they got closer to the house.

"You know that they'll be heart broken, Elva." Joycelyn said.

"I know, but it's a great job offer and we'll be closer to Kira's family." Elva said.

They watched the brown haired boy chasing the girl with pinkish white hair.

"Try to stay in contact Joy, I'd like to know that things are going well."

"I'll send you word when we get to Tokyo."

"You have a place to live already?"

"We'll be staying at the house that Kira's parents left for us."

"That's nice of them. Do you think it will be alright for Tsukiya to stay with us for a while?"

"I don't see why not. It would make it easier for us to pack things. She loves how you decorated that room for her. We'll still keep our place in Dublin though."

"I'm hoping that they'll be able to see each other again."

"You make it sound like it won't."

"It's just hard to say when you'll be so far away."

"Joy, it will be alright. It's not like they'll forget each other."

"I guess that will depend on when we see you next. Not everyone remembers everything from when they were little."

"Tama! Wait up!" the boy called out.

"Quit being slow Oli!" she giggled at him.

"Someday Tama, when I catch you, I'm not going to let you go!"

She stopped and looked at him with a wide grin, when he got closer.

"Oli, you're sweet."

"Tsukiya! Oliver! Come in for dinner!"

"Come on Oli!" Tsukiya grabbed Oliver's hand and led him towards the house.

Eleven years later

"Welcome everyone to another school year. Now that the sorting is done, I would like for everyone to welcome a new transfer student from Mahoutokoro."

I gave a sigh as I straightened out my uniform. I could only hope that I wouldn't confuse too many people. My parents decided to move back to Ireland from Japan because my mother took a job at the ministry. I had some friends there and I knew they would miss me. I smiled slightly as Professor McGonagall gave me a gentle push as she opened the door.

I tried not to look around when I saw everyone looking at me. I focused ahead of me. I reached the front where the stool and hat waited for me. I only hoped that my hair didn't start changing colors on me to show my nervousness. My hair is naturally white and I have teal eyes. I'm a metamorphmagi. At times my hair changes colors to show my mood. I felt like a human mood ring.

I had my shoulder length hair up in a bun with both of my wands through the bun. Yes, I have two wands. I had my white wand that I had when I was in Japan. It's made of sakura wood with Komodo dragon heartstring as its core. My new one, I got after we moved to Ireland. It's made of cherry wood with Chinese fireball dragon heartstring as its core.

I could hear the whispers as I reached the front. I could tell they were trying to figure out what I was. I took a deep breath before I spoke and hoped that my accent didn't sound too odd.

"Konnichiwa.*" I said with a bow. "My name is Tsukiya Ryu. I moved to Ireland from Japan and yes, this is my natural hair color."

I heard the giggles and saw the smiles. I felt a little better.

Then Professor McGonagall motion for me to sit on the stool that was next to her. After I did, she set the hat on my head. I smirked when I heard the hat talking.

"So much accomplished and much more to learn. You're from two very well known wizarding families and also have strong ties to a Gryffindor. Hmm…."

"Ravenclaw!"

I removed the hat and headed to the cheering table. I sat down and glanced at all of the smiling faces.

"Hi! I'm Cho Chang. This is Penelope Clearwater and that is Roger Davies." Introduced a girl with long black hair.

I watched and nodded to the other two. I was silently waiting for the bombardment of questions.

"Your hair is an unusual color. I like it!"

"Thanks."

"Do you play Quidditch?"

"No. Sorry."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

"Japan huh?"

"Yep."

"Why did you leave?"

"My mother was offered a position in the ministry with international affairs."

"Wow. Why to Ireland?"

"That's where my mother is from."

I felt better when the food appeared. The other three gave me a funny look as I dug into the sushi.

"Hey, don't knock it until you try it." I said.

I laughed as each one forked a sushi roll and tried it. I watched as their expressions changed.

"Not bad." Roger said.

After dinner, I followed the three around and they showed me part of the castle on the way to our dorms. It was different from what I was use to, but I was excited for the adventure.

*Konnichiwa means hello.
