Chapter 4
It was two days after Dumbledore received that letter from a certain school and it what countless students say, their two days of freedom. Which were, in all sense, the weekend. Mizuki woke up just when the sun was beginning to creep up on the horizon and grinned as she got out of her bed and got dressed. Walking silently, or as silently as she could, she crept to the boy's dormitory, went in, and cast a spell over two specific beds.
Satisfied with her spell, she went down stairs and, making sure no one was near her, got out a quill and a piece of parchment.
Dear dad,
So far, I, along with my friends, have been having a blast! Of course, I did make some enemies, but what else is new about that? They are the sidekicks of Michael Potter, you know, Yuuki's brother? Ugh! I swear, those two are seriously getting on my nerves! And what's worse, they have been actually bugging us! And none of my pranks have yet to deter them!
I found our who Yuuki's mate is, and frankly, I do not one bit like him. Snobbish prat. In other words, will you be able to come down and visit anytime soon? I want you to see how bad the Potter's actually are. Heh, they think that just because they say sorry to Yuuki, that he will forgive them and go running in their arms. Stupid actually.
Suddenly, a huge crash sounded in the boy's dormitory. She grinned manically and started to write some more.
Sorry to cut this short, but my latest prank just sounded and I got to get out of here.
Hope to see you soon,
your loving, albeit crazy daughter,
Mizuki.
P.S. The others sends their love!
Hearing some foot steps coming down the stairs to the common room, our crazy girl gave the letter to an owl, who promptly flew out of the window, and then she ran out of the Slytherin's room.
The Great Hall was buzzing with activities when Sho arrived there. People trying to do some homework, kids talking, laughing, and generally having a good time. But unfortunately, it all ended for him when the Golden Trio arrived, which ruined his good mood.
"Hey Himura, where are the losers you call friends? You know, we would be so much better friends than them." Sho only glared at them before saying, "I already see two of my friends at a table and the other one is probably coming down right now. Speak of the devil." "Hey, move it Golden dorks!" Three bodies turned around to meet a pair of annoyed cloud blue eyes.
Michael only glared at her, "We weren't talking to you girl." Mizuki only shrugged and stepped around them and grabbed Sho's arm, dragging him to where their other friends were, which so happened to be at the Slytherin table. Now, when they first started sitting there, they were stared at. Two Ravenclaw's and one Gryffindor, it was pretty much, unusual, but they adapted to it.
Yuuki and Takahiro looked up and smiled, "Good morning, how was your sleep?" But before anyone could say anything else, one scream interrupted them. "MIZUKI!" The Great doors banged open and two angry Slytherin's stomped, though they would just call it, walking, to others, stomping, towards the Snake table, or more importantly, to a certain black and silver haired girl.
Draco glared at her, "Why…in…the…freaking…hell…did…you…do…that…for!?" She only looked on innocently, "Do what for? I am afraid I do not know what you are talking about." Akira chose this time to whisper angrily, "You don't fool me one bit with that look Mizuki. Why did you make me have bright orange hair and Draco have green skin with purple polka dots on him?!" The two Ravenclaw's looked on in amusement as the three Slytherin's bantered, never aware the events happening in the Transfiguration classroom.
"Why did you never tell us that you knew where Harry was Remus!" Amber eyes looked at James as she stormed around the room angrily, ignoring the green and blue eyes looking at him, waiting for an answer. "He did not want me to tell you. Besides, I knew that he was alive, so I figured that you wouldn't care, as you never cared when he was a child."
James was about to scream again when Lily interrupted him, "Remus, if we did not care about our son, we would not have sent out that search party to go look for him." Remus's head snapped to her, "You called that search party after only half a day! And you did not even bother to go look for him yourselves! If it was me, I would have been out there looking!"
Sirius chose then to intervene, "Moony, that still does not tell us why you did not even tell us that he was alive. You could have at least given them the location of where Harry was located."
Remus smiled ruefully at that, "We stopped contacting each other when he was around eleven because he entered school. We only contacted each other mainly around special events. So it not like I really could tell you the location, for he never told me where he was."
James was once again about to speak before, once again, he was interrupted, this time by Albus. Pretending that he did not come into the midst of something important, his blue eyes twinkled behind his half moon glasses. "Please come with me, I have something special to discuss with you. It involves all five of our transfer students."
Meanwhile, things have calmed down at the Slytherin table and now they were talking like nothing have ever happened. Draco looked at Yuuki, "So, how was your sleep Yuuki?" His only answer was a blush in the face. Mizuki glared at Draco's smirking face. "What is he talking about Yuuki? Takahiro, you know about this, don't you?" Hiro only shook his head franticly, also covering up that he also were having somewhat similar dreams. The only difference that, unlike Yuuki and Draco, who have only met this year, he had known this person for far longer. She only looked at them suspiciously before starting to eat when suddenly, a letter appeared out of thin air right in her food, but somehow, not getting dirty.
Blinking, she picked up the letter and looked around, only to see that the other four got similar letters. "Hey, Hiro, open yours up, I'm not really in the mood for opening letters up right now." Ignoring the curious looks they got, he opened the letter:
Mr. Suzuki Takahiro,
You are cordially invited to the yearly festival in Japan. We do understand that you are currently in London, England, learning at Hogwarts of School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but you are still a member of Magnus and Japan. You will be staying in Magnus or your family, it is your choice. We have already contacted your Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, and he agreed that you and your friends could go. And as Hogwarts would be on break during this festival, you would not be missing no lessons.
You are to bring one person with you as a partner, or in this case, you will be bringing Yukimura, Akira. Disclosed in this letter is the time, place, date, and transportation plans for you. Have a nice day.
Suzu, Horo
Magnus the School of the Gifted planner.
Mizuki's eyebrow twitched, "We…have…to…go?! Dad knows how much I hate those things! And if I know any better, there would most likely be a dance afterwards!" Yuuki cocked his head some, "My letter says that my partner will be Draco, and that he is to bring his family is they are able to come." Sho nodded, "Typical, parents are pretty much mandatory with this gathering."
Draco looked on in curiosity, "What type of gathering is this, in Japan?" Takahiro only smiled, "You shall see soon."
"So, let me get this straight, we, along with Michael, are going to Japan to see this stupid festival with Harry?" James said in a annoyed voice. Dumbledore only nodded happily, "Yes. But just think of it this way, you will be able to try and convince Harry to stay with you and not with his other family." Lily nodded slowly, the thought of going to Japan finally going to her head. "Yes, and then we can show Japan how great Michael is and how they should help us with our fight with you-know-who. And then people here will know that our sweet, loving Michael went to Japan to try and convince them to join our cause. Yes, it could work."
Remus only put his head in his hands in exasperation while Sirius looked on in wonder. "Hey, Prongs, Lily, can I come also? I really want to be there for Michael when he is bombarded with girls because of his charm and looks." Dumbledore looked on wonder, "I think we can work something out."
The first thing Draco did when he got done with breakfast, and thoroughly annoying Mizuki because of how he 'acted' towards Yuuki, was go to the common room, only to find a owl there, addressed to him. Opening it, he found out that his parents got letters to go to Japan, also they were looking forwards to seeing their soon-to-be-son. "What are you reading?"
Draco nearly leapt out of his skin and turned around to see Akira leaning against a wall, watching him. "It's from your parents, huh? Telling you that they got that invitation letter." Draco only nodded, "Yes, they are looking forward to seeing Yuuki. By the way, are you doing anything to Takahiro, like what I'm doing?" Akira only smirked, a certain light appearing in his black eyes, "Why should I tell you? Anyway, Mizuki and the others are down by the lake, watching the Golden Trio about to get attacked by the giant squid. See you." And with that, he left, leaving a mercury eyed boy wondering what time his parents are going to arrive tomorrow.
It was the next morning and, once again, during breakfast, that the Gryffindor house erupted in yelps as they all changed colors, like green, pink, blue, when the Great Doors opened and two figures stepped in. Everyone got quiet, well, except fort he lion house, as they were still yelling. Dumbledore stood up, "Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, what a pleasure to see you. Would you like to eat breakfast with us on this pleasant day?" The male shook his head, "No thank you. We will be in your office Albus." And with that, they left, ignoring the loudness of the lion table.
Yuuki looked at Draco, "Was that your…" He only nodded at the raven haired teen, "Yes, those two were my parents. Come on, they must surely want to meet you." He grabbed Yuuki's arm, who was sitting next to him, and gently, but sternly, dragged him away from the Great Hall, ignoring the stares they were getting.
It was later on that evening, when the group prepared to leave England and to Japan. There was the Potter family, including Michael and this two sidekicks, and Sirius, the Malfoy family, and the exchange students, and Dumbledore, other than that, there was no one else there. Currently, Takahiro, along with Akira, were currently drawing some ruins on the floor that would transport them to Japan and to the specific location.
Mizuki leaned down to Hiro and whispered so only him and Akira could hear. "Why is the Golden dorks coming with us again?" Akira only snorted, "Because the Potter boy decided that he was above the rules and decided to bring them. Now, if you don't mind, Hiro and I really need to finish this, so leave us alone." Her only response was to glare and whisper angrily so only he could hear her, "I will, only if you stop touching Hiro for no apparent reason!" He only smirked.
In the background, you could Michael complaining, "Why are we going to that country like this! How come not portkeys?!" Sho sighed in exasperation, "One, we do not particularly like portkeys, two, where we are going, no portkeys can enter, and three, this is our way of transporting across large distances. So if you do not like it, deal with it."
During the commotion that Michael was making, the Malfoy's were talking with Yuuki. "So, how is it like in Japan sweety?" Mrs. Malfoy asked Yuuki. He only blushed some, at both what Mrs. Malfoy called him and of how Draco was looking at him.
"Ah, I believe you will like it when you see it, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy." "Done." Everyone looked over to where Akira and Hiro was standing. Hiro smiled, "All done with the ruins." Dumbledore nodded, "Very good. Now everyone get in the outer portion of the ruins, but not in it. The only one that should be in the ruins are Mr. Himura, Mr. Yukimura, and Mr. Suzuki."
"No fair! Why do they get to be in the ruins! I want to be in the ruins! Right Hermione, Ron?!" They nodded in agreement. Mizuki only sighed angrily, "It is because someone needs to power the spell, and me and Yuuki are not the best at transportation spells, so they got charged with the duty." Sho smirked, "Yeah. Remember that one time that you and Yuuki were taking your test and you ended up in a lake where you were supposed to arrive in a mountain while Yuuki arrived in a forest instead of a desert?" She only scowled, "Be quiet you! That was by accident!"
Sho shrugged, "Doesn't matter." James cleared his throat, "Anytime now kids." Akira glared at him before he got next to Hiro, who was besides Sho. They started to chant so low that the people around them could only hear mumblings. The ruins started to glow white, then a light shade of red before the light started to surround the area. Dumbledore waved, "Have fun! And owl me!"
In a flash of light, they disappeared, along with the ruins.
When the light died down, they were instead a dark room, the only openings a pair of sliding doors. The sounds of stumbling brought their attention to Sho, Hiro, and Akira, who were holding their heads or their stomach. Yuuki looked at them worriedly, "Are you alright?" Sho nodded, "Yes, this always happens with long distance chants." Mizuki looked at Sho one last time, along with Hiro, and looked at the foreigners, "Alright, when I open this door, please follow me, or you could not and get lost." She opened the door and everyone, except for the five teens that came from Japan, gasped at the view before them.
