I do not own anything. All rights go to the makers of Tokyo Ghoul and Harry Potter.
The remainder of the day consisted of Kaneki resting and exploring the castle. He discovered there was a stairwell that was constantly changing, the paintings could talk to one another and anyone who may be passing by, and on the outer grounds there was a tree that could viciously attack anything that came within range of its branches.
Since he still had not eaten anything upon arriving to this new place Kaneki still had pain throughout his body, reminding him of the tortuous event. He left the site of the tree and began walking back to his room.
In one of the many hallways he was passing through, a man startled him from around the corner. Kaneki was prepared to attack the tall man with black hair. He had memories of Jason attacking him come to mind and he was ready to never let that happen again. The man just stood there, though, and crossed his arms before speaking to Kaneki,
"Ah, so you're the one Dumbledore told us about. Tell me, has he discussed with you about how important it is that your true nature remain a secret?"
Kaneki just shook his head. He had become more cautious around people since what had happened with Yamori and found it difficult to be the person he used to be.
"Well," the man continued while still looking intimidating, "The students here believe that ghouls are relatively harmless creatures that feed off of bugs, not humans. They also have no idea that there are ghouls who look human like you. If they were to find out the truth, who knows what they would do to you."
"I understand," Kaneki said in his best English.
"Good. Oh and before the students arrive, I recommend you find something to cover your left eye. Looking like that will not help you blend in. I will see you in Potions class." With that the man left and Kaneki quickly went into the nearest bathroom.
This was the first time Kaneki had seen himself in the mirror since he had been tortured. He was expecting to see his usual black hair, but instead saw snow white hair and his left eye was black with a red iris.
"I thought I could control this," he said to himself in Japanese. He relaxed, distracted his mind, and then looked in the mirror to find his eye was still the same as before. "What is this? Why won't it go back? And what happened to my hair? None of this is making sense."
Kaneki went to his bedroom, and to his surprise black robes, shoes, and medical eyepatch were laid upon his bed. He was surprised by this, but guessed that he should be expecting more weird things to happen while he is in this new place.
The next morning, Kaneki awoke with a knock at his door. After slowly getting out of bed, he opened it to find Dumbledore standing there.
"Good morning, Ken. The rest of the students will be arriving shortly, and I wanted to prepare you for what is going to happen. First, all of the students who have been here before will sit in the Great Hall. Then, we will sort the new students into their according houses and the feast will begin after that. I understand that you cannot eat the same food that we do, but you must understand that I cannot serve you what you need while you're around the other students. That is why you will be meeting with Professor Lupin once every two months and he will help you with your needs. Also, you may notice on your schedule that there is an open time frame. In that time you will meet with Hagrid, he does research on creatures, and you will help him with his research on ghouls. Is that understood?"
"Yes, sir," Kaneki answered.
"Good," said Dumbledore, "I will see you in the Great Hall, then." With that, the headmaster left and Kaneki got ready for his first encounter with the students of this wizarding school.
I hope you enjoyed Chapter 2! I know it's a little shorter than the last chapter but I'm going to try to make the next ones a little longer. Please continue to review =) If there is anything you want to see happen in this story, just let me know!
