Chapter 2-Hogwarts Train and the Feast
The next morning at Konoha, Tsunade waited for the two ANBU teams to return to the office with all their things for the mission to Hogwarts. In the letter from Dumbledore it said that he would take care of Kagome and Itachi's things. All they had to worry about was to get to the train station before eleven o'clock.
Soon, there was a noise and ten shinobi were now in front of Tsunade. They were all wearing their uniforms and masks so no one would know who they were when they reached the train station.
"Lady Tsunade, how are we going to get to this train station?" asked Kagome.
Tsunade opened the desk and pulled out an old shoe. She tossed it to Itachi, who caught it in his hand, and said, "Everyone needs to hold onto that shoe. It is a portkey that will take you to Kings Cross. Once there, find the platform called Platform 9 ¾."
"If I'm going to be a student and they wear uniforms, where can I get mine?" asked Kagome. "Also, where is Itachi's uniform since he is going to be a teacher?"
"Your uniform is right here. Itachi's uniform will have to consist of what he is wearing now. He will be introduced as a guard and teacher," said Tsunade as she pulled out a black cloak and white shirt. She also pulled out a black tie and socks. She pulled out two types of bottoms. "You can choose which one: skirt or pants."
Kagome grabbed the cloak and everything else. She also grabbed the pants. She most defiantly didn't like wearing skirts. They restricted most of her movements when she walked or was in a fight. She was a girl who liked dressing like a boy, especially when she was with her brothers and team.
"I knew you would choose the pants. You would never get caught wearing a skirt," said Sango. She knew Kagome since she was a genin.
"Be quiet, Sango. I hate wearing skirts, and you know it. Of course I would choose the pants over them. What would you think?" said Kagome.
"Alright now. When do we leave, Hokage-sama?" said Itachi.
"Everyone should take hold of the shoe now. It should transport you in few seconds. I would like a report every week or if something bad happens. That includes if something to one of you," said Tsunade while looking at the fox masked ANBU.
"Okay, Tsunade-baa-chan. I'll let you know if something happens to Kyuubi or me," said Naruto behind the fox mask.
Before she could say anything else to the blonde, everyone grabbed the old shoe and was transported to a train station where no one sees them.
(A/N-All right now… this is where they talk Japanese, but also knows how to talk English. This will be Japanese while the English will be like this.)
When they walked to where they saw the signs for Platforms 9 and 10, they didn't know where the platform they were looking for was. They looked around and found a person who would point them in the right direction.
Neji walked up to him and asked, "Excuse me sir, but do you know where Platform 9 ¾ is?"
The person just looked at him like he was crazy. He just laughed and said, "There isn't any platform in that number. There is only a Platform 9 and 10. Now get out of my sight and stop bothering me with that joke. I get it every darn year. I wish it would stop."
When Neji walked back to the others, he said, "That person only laughed at me. He said there wasn't a platform of that number."
Sakura looked around and found a group of people disappearing between platforms 9 and 10. She turned back to her comrades, "I think those people might be able to help us. I just saw them disappear behind that stone wall."
They all walked over to the people and watched as they all either ran or walked towards the wall. When they saw what kind of people they were, they stared.
Most of the people were all redheads. Their hair could match Shippo's hair and making him seem like he was their other son. However, before they could ask the redhead lady how to get past the barrier, she disappeared behind the wall.
"Well, I don't think they will help us out anymore than what they already did. We might as well as just walk through the wall and hope that it will let us on the other side… if there is any," said Sasuke behind the raven mask next to his brother.
Once that was said, the two squads in their uniforms and masks walked through the wall and ended up facing a train with the letters "Hogwarts Express" writing on it. The train was a scarlet color that could match the Uchiha bloodline limit.
"All right everyone. We should split up and make sure that nothing happens on this trip," said Itachi. He turned to everyone who was behind him and made sure that no one was staring at them. "Sasuke, Naruto, you two head to the back of the train and guard that area. Sakura, Neji, you go to the front of the train and watch there. I will be in the compartment with the charge. Any questions?"
"Sango, Shippo, you should go with Sasuke and Naruto to help them out. Sesshomaru, Naraku, you guys should go with Sakura and Neji in case something happens up there. I will be in some compartment being a 'student' like I'm supposed to be," said Kagome. "Any questions?"
No one answered their questions, but instead they went to their posts where they were assigned.
Itachi went to find a compartment with the charge that they were supposed to protect other than the school. He made sure that his mask was off but still had his uniform on. He didn't want any of the students thinking that he could be a pushover because he was new and all.
Before Kagome could go anywhere, she made sure that she looked like a sixteen year old. She couldn't walk in and say she was a sixth year while being eleven. Kagome had the worst luck. She not only found a compartment near the end of the train, she had to sit with a couple of Slytherin students who talked about their summer vacations. It was really boring and almost made Kagome get her stuff together and head off to her aniki.
However, before she could say anything, the compartment was opened and revealed a blonde boy who was really pale looking at all the compartments. He was pale enough to pass off as Orochimaru's twin younger brother. He had the Slytherin robes on and smirking at the other Slytherins. He had two larger boys behind him also wearing the Slytherin robes.
"Well, well, what do we have here? I think you're in the wrong compartment, girl. This is for Slytherins only. Who are you anyway? First year?" said the pale blonde boy. The two boys behind him snickered at Kagome.
"For your information, I can be here since there isn't anything you could do to me. For as to who I am, my name isn't 'girl' it is Kagome. I'm actually a sixth year being transferred on a foreign exchange program at the school," said Kagome. Her eyes were in their sharingan state. "Who are you?"
"My name is Draco Malfoy, wench. The two baboons behind me are Crabb and Goyle. You can't be a sixth year. You're too short. What make you so powerful? Just because you're a transfer doesn't mean that you can take charge," said Malfoy. "Actually, I can give you detention since I'm a prefect."
"Don't call me a 'wench', you teme. The last person to call me that ended up being thrown into the wall on the opposite side of the wall, so I would suggest you not call me that again, Malfoy. Besides, I could easily give you detention since I happen to know the new DADA teacher this year," said Kagome with her eyes still in the sharingan mode. She was now giving the three boys the famous Uchiha glare. The other Slytherins in the compartment were ignored.
"I don't care who the crazy old man got for that class. You will respect your superiors which happens to include me."
"Is there something going on here?" asked a voice behind Malfoy, Crabb, and Goyle said.
They turned around and saw a masked man looking between Kagome and the three Slytherins. The mask happened to be her other brother Sasuke. He had Naruto behind him with his fox mask on. They were still in their uniforms from when they got on the train.
"What are you doing to here? You should be watching what happens to the other students. Besides, I can take care of myself. You should know that, nii-san, Naruto," said Kagome.
"We know you can, but what would Itachi-nii-sama say if we left you alone with a problem? He would kill us since we are supposed to be watching out for 'all' the students," said Sasuke. He turned to the three boys who were watching their every move.
"You had best leave her alone. If you don't, I think her brothers wouldn't mind ripping you apart in a matter of minutes," sneered Naruto. He could just see the glare that Sasuke was giving them behind the mask.
"Who are you people to order us around?" asked Malfoy.
"They happen to be my friends. The raven masked boy is my brother. The one next to him is his friend and like my brother as well. I'm afraid you'll have to wait to learn their names at the feast," said Kagome.
"Kagome, let me know if they try anything with you again. I don't want to be in trouble with aniki," said Sasuke. "Besides, he told us to come check on you every once in a while in case something like this happens."
"Fine nii-san. I can live with you checking on me, but I don't need it," said Kagome. Her eyes went back to normal when her brother intervened. "I'll make sure to behave. You had better go before aniki comes to check on all of us."
Sasuke and Naruto left without another word. They went back to where Kagome guessed was Itachi and their charge. She turned back towards the compartment door to see Malfoy and his goons gone.
The rest of the train ride was quiet. The only thing going on was the fact that Itachi sent either Sasuke or Naruto or even both to check on her. Once she had her robes on, she waited until the train stopped.
Once the train stopped, she went to find her squad and friends. She found them with Itachi near the road where all the second year students and up got in some carriages being pulled by skeleton-looking horses.
"Itachi-nii-sama, where do I go now? Do I go with you and the others?" asked Kagome. She noticed that she was the only one who didn't have the ANBU uniform on. Her mask was also put away for later use.
"FIRS' YEARS! FIRS' YEARS THIS WAY!" yelled a loud voice. The voice belonged to a half-giant named Hagrid.
"I guess that answers my questions. Anyway, I'll see you guys later then," said Kagome.
She turned around and left towards the voice that called for all the first years. Even though she wasn't really a first year, this was her first year at Hogwarts. When she reached the half-giant, she followed him and the rest of the first years to the boats. They made their way towards the castle that would be their home for a year until the summer vacation started again.
Once they made it across the Black Lake, Hagrid lead all the first years into the hallway before entering the Great Hall. When Hagrid left them in the hall, another witch came out with a scroll rolled up in her hands. She saw Kagome and told her to stay here until she was told to enter the hall.
"All first years will follow me in to the Great Hall to be sorted momentarily. My name is Professor McGonagall. I'm the deputy headmistress here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," said McGonagall. She turned around and opened the doors. "Please follow me."
When she walked up towards the table for the teachers, she conjured up a stool and placed a hat on the stool. While walking up with the first years, all the older students watched as the newcomers arrived and waited to be sorted.
Once the hat was placed on the stool, it started to sing:
In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
"Together we will build and teach!"
The four good friends decided
And never did they dream that they
Might someday be divided,
For were there such friends anywhere
As Slytherin and Gryffindor?
Unless it was the second pair
Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?
So how could it have gone so wrong?
How could such friendship fail?
Why, I was there and so can tell
The whole sad, sorry tale
Said Slytherin, "We'll teach just those
Whose ancestry is purest."
Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose
Intelligence is surest."
Said Gryffindor, "We'll teach all those
With brave deeds to their name."
Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot,
And treat them just the same."
These differences caused little strife
When first they came to light,
For each of the four founders had
A House in which they might
Take only those they wanted, so,
For instance, Slytherin
Took only pure-blooded wizards
Of great cunning, just like him,
And only those of sharpest mind
Were taught by Ravenclaw
While the bravest and the boldest
Went to daring Gryffindor.
Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest,
And taught them all she knew,
Thus the Houses and their founders
Retained friendships firm and true.
So Hogwarts worked in harmony
For several happy years,
But then discord crept among us
Feeding on our faults and fears.
The Houses that, like pillars four,
Had once held up our school,
Now turned upon each other and,
Divided, sought to rule,
And for a while it seemed the school
Must meet an early end,
What with dueling and with fighting
And the clash of friend on friend
And at last there came a morning
When old Slytherin departed
And though the fighting then died out
He left us quite downhearted.
And never since the founders four
Were whittled down to three
Have the Houses been united
As they one were meant to be.
And now the Sorting Hat is here
And you all know the score:
It sort you into Houses
Because that is what I'm for,
But this year I'll go further,
Listen closely to my song:
Though condemned I am to split you
Still I worry that it's wrong,
Though it must fulfill my duty
And must quarter every year
Still I wonder whether sorting
May not bring the end I fear.
Oh, know the perils, read the signs,
The warning history shows,
For our Hogwarts is in danger
From external, deadly foes
And we must unit inside her
Or we'll crumble from within
I have told you, I have warned you . . . .
Let the Sorting now begin.
When the hat was done with it's song, McGonagall unrolled the parchment and began reading the names of the first years that were to be sorted. The sorting took a while, but it all came out good. Once she reached the bottom of the parchment, she picked up the list with the names and made it disappear.
After the sorting was through, Dumbledore stood up from where he was seated and said, "Another year has come to Hogwarts. To our new students, welcome; to our old students, welcome back! We have a few new things happening at Hogwarts this year.
"First off is that we will have guards, but they are not dementors but are assigned to protect us. There are ten guards. Five for each team. Also, we have an exchange student from Japan, a place exactly where the guards are from." He turned around and faced the back of the table where he felt a strange amount of power. "Would you like to come out now and introduce yourselves?"
Everyone in the Great Hall turned around and faced the same place as Dumbledore. They couldn't see anything until nine figures stepped from the wall. Each of the figures was wearing black cloaks that hid their uniforms and weapons from the students. They all had their masks on as well.
"Thank you for coming out of hiding. Can you please introduce yourselves to the school?" said Dumbledore.
Itachi came up to Dumbledore with a letter and gave it to the old man. "This is from Tsunade-sama. It is about the second captain for the second team."
While Dumbledore opened the letter, all the guards walked up to the front of the platform. The guards spilt up into their teams. Itachi's team on the right while Kagome's team on the left.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha or Captain Weasel. I am your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. The team on the right is my own," said Itachi as he took off his mask.
"My name is Raven," said Sasuke behind his mask. He wasn't going to take off his mask even if his life depended on it. He didn't want another cluster of fan-girls.
"My name is Fox," said Naruto also behind his mask. He didn't want anyone to see his whisker like marks on his face. he didn't show it, but he would enjoy pulling pranks on the students with Shippo.
"My name is Leopard. I am the medic on this team," said Sakura. She knew that her pink hair would attract attention that she didn't really want.
"My name is Tiger. I'm not a girl," said Neji. He heard some students wondering if he was a girl or a boy because of his long hair.
"Thank you for the introductions. I believe that the captain for the second team isn't here right now, so we will just have to skip that person for now. Now, will the second team identify themselves for us?" said Dumbledore when he got done with the letter from Tsunade.
"My name is Dog. I am also a boy and not a girl. Stay away from me," said Sesshomaru in a cold emotionless voice. He also had a fan club at Konoha and didn't want another one.
"My name is Panther, and I'm also a medic for this team," said Sango behind her panther mask.
"My name is Spider. I would suggest staying away from me if you wish to live," said Naraku in a cold voice. "I happen to be a boy as well. Don't get my gender mixed up, or it will be your last mistake you will ever take."
"My name is Phoenix. Pleased to make your acquaintance," said Shippo. You couldn't tell, but he was grinning behind his mask. He would have fun pulling pranks on the students here.
Once the introductions were made, talk broke out among the students and faculty. They wondered what Dumbledore had brought to Hogwarts this year. Also when the feast would begin. Before they could say anything else, Dumbledore interrupted them.
"We still have the issue of the our exchange student. Please welcome Kagome Uchiha," said Dumbledore as the doors opened and allowed Kagome to enter.
Kagome walked in and watched as all the students watched her. She had an emotionless mask that she learned from Sesshomaru on and walked up to the stage where the stool and hat was. She made herself look like she was sixteen since she was posing as a sixth year instead of a first year. She glanced at her brothers and team before turning to Dumbledore.
Before she could say anything, Dumbledore said, "I trust you all are nice to her, or her friends and family will take their anger out on you. It just happens that she is friends with all of these guards, and her two brothers are in one team."
When he finished his speech, Kagome walked over to the stool and the hat and sat there. The hat was placed on her head.
'There is a lot of knowledge in this head of yours. You would do very well in Ravenclaw with that knowledge. You have a bloodlust for power and that will put you in with the Slytherin. It also seems that you would do anything for your friends and family that would easily put you in Gryffindor House," said the hat in Kagome's head. "I guess I'll put you in…"
"GRYFFINDOR!!"
The table with the red lion roared with cheers for their new classmate. She turned around and faced Itachi and Sasuke before they nodded and she headed off towards the still cheering table.

Well, what do you think of chapter 2? Let me know what you think please! I would like to warn you that there might be a little bit of the characters being OOC… if they are, I'm sorry for that.
Anyway, please review!
