So a couple of question were asked and I'm sorry for being a little unclear. I this is an AU where Kunugigaoka Junior High is a magic school. I imagine that Karma would come from a pure-blood house. It is suppose to take place right after the anime, that is why every one is rushing around to get as much information as possible and why they had to decide right away. I really appreciate all the feed back.

Chapter 4 - The team comes together or The Leaky Cauldron

For the first time in his life, Harry had complete freedom. He got up whenever he wanted and went whatever he wanted. He had no intention of going back to the Muggle world. He spent his days watching the different witches, wizards and even dwarfs in the Leakey Cauldron. Most of the people coming were from the country but there was a weird influx of kids from Asia. They stayed in groups of two or three but they would occasionally try to start conversations with the other people in the tavern. They left him alone and mostly ignored him. They even avoided eye contact if they could.

He spent a lot of time in Diagon Alley, little did he know that he was being followed. He would often do his homework outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. From time to time he would even get help from Florean Fortescue himself who also gave him free sundaes every half hour.

While eating his ice cream one day, one of the Asian kids who was a little shorter than he was walked up to him. "Hello," he said a little awkwardly. Harry looked up and gave a small wave. "Hi, my name is Harry." He stuck out his hand. "I am Nagisa." he said, taking the hand. "Why don't you sit down. Um, where are you from?" He offered, scooting to the side. "Thank you. I'm from Japan" Said Nagisa, sitting down.

"So, do you mind me asking what brings you here?" Harry asked nervously. Nagisa smiled brightly, "There was trouble in my school, one of the teachers died, so some of the students are going to different schools. Hogwarts has a really good reputation so we are going there." Harry was surprised, he had never heard of students transferring before. "How did the teacher die?" he asked. Nagisa got a sudden nervous look. "Um, Koro sensei was killed. There was an assassin..." "An assassin!" Harry exclaimed. Nagisa winced, "Well, he came into the school and killed him, so I suppose that would be what you would call it."

Nagisa looked away. Harry looked over to see one of the Japanese girls with a low ponytail motioning him over. "Sorry," Nagisa said, standing up, "I have to go but it was a really nice to meet you."

Karma was looking around the shops while they were a little different from the shops at home they sold just about the same things. The others were getting ready to meet with the Head Master tonight. He apparently was going to use the private office to talk to them. He came across an interesting stores, Quality Quidditch Supplies. He wasn't on any sports teams but he did like flying and playing Quidditch for fun every now and then.

There was a huge crowd of people surrounding a brand new broom. It looked pretty neat. "Just come out - prototype - " Said one wizard to another. He glanced over to see Harry Potter standing on the other side of the man who said that. "It's that fastest broom in the world, isn't it Dad?" said a little kid, hanging off a man's arm.

There was a sign that announced -

** THE FIREBOLT **
THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART RACING BROOM SPORTS A STREAM-LINED, SUPERFINE HANDLE OF ASH, TREATED WITH A DIAMOND-HARD POLISH AND HAND-NUMBERED WITH ITS OWN REGISTRATION NUMBER. EACH INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED BIRCH TWIG IN THE BROOMTAIL HAS BEEN HONED TO AERODYNAMIC PERFECTION, GIVING THE FIREBOLT UNSURPASSABLE BALANCE AND PINPOINT PRECISION. THE FIREBOLT HAS AN ACCELERATION OF 150 MILES AN HOUR IN TEN SECONDS AND INCORPORATES AN UNBREAKABLE BRAKING CHARM. PRICE ON REQUEST.

This was going to be really expensive. He wasn't about to spend any money on something like this. Karma moved around to the side to get a better view. He had heard that Harry Potter was the youngest seeker in the century and that his parents left him a fortune. It wouldn't surprise him if he bought it.

He watched Harry walk away, he was heading towards the books store. Chiba and Hayami were over in that area. He picked up his phone and called Hayami, "Hello." she greeted him. "Hey I just found Potter, he's heading your way." In the background he could hear, "Stop it, stop it. Arg, get over here.". "Alright," she said, "We are about to check out. We were going to go the the pet shop afterward, but we'll stick around until then." They each hung up the phone.

Chiba looked over at her and simply replied, "Karma." He nodded. The shop keeper handed each of them the bound green books, which were still struggling, that they set beside all the other books that they bought. They thanked and payed him and walked out of the store.

They watched from the other side of the street, pretending to do be interested in the store of the other side of the street. They watched him from the window. He didn't get one of the monster books but he did get all of the other books on the list. He spent a lot of time in the store but finally left.

Afterwards they went to the pet store where Hayami fawned over the cat but they didn't end up buying any. Chiba was the only person that she felt comfortable enough to show this side of her.

They two of them headed back to the pub. Almost everyone was already in the meeting room. Megu was waiting in the parlor. "You two are the last. Follow me." The three of them walked into the office in the back, that apparently belong to Tom.

The room was a bit crowded with all of the students standing around next to the walls. Sitting at the desk was an old man with a crooked nose and a strict looking woman standing beside him. In middle of the room, where a normal chair would be, there was a stool with an old hat sitting on top.

"Is everyone is here?" Asked the woman. Karma shrugged and said, "Yeah, looks like it." "Alright," She picked up a list. I'll read off your name and you will come up here and be sorted into your house. Your house is like your family, you can gain points together but it you break the rules you will lose points. We'll start with year 2."

The seem of the hat opened up like a mouth and it started to sing. "Oh you may not think I'm pretty, but don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find a smarter hat than me. New students are here and this it just for you, so sit up on chair and I'll tell you what to do." Almost every all the students were amazed by it.

"Horible, Itona." she read out loud and picked up the hat. Itona stepped up front and sat on the stool. She set the hat on top of his head, it nearly covered his eyes. After a moment it said, "Slytherin." she waited for them to say something, but everyone was silent. "That all for year 2. Kayano, Kaede." she said slowly, struggling with name a little. Kaede stepped up anyway, "Hufflepufff."Once again she was only met with silence. She decided to just get through the rest of the names without stopping. Some of the Japanese names where a little difficult and she was glad that read through the name beforehand. "Okuda, Manami." A small, nervous looking girl with two braids just past her shoulders came forward. The hat barely touched her hair when it shouted, "Ravenclaw!" "Shiota, Nagisa." A short boy stepped forward. It took a few more seconds, "Gryffindor."

"Next is year 4. Kataok, Megu." A girl with a low ponytail came to the front. "Ravenclaw." "Kimura, Masayoshi." 'That was a mouthful.' she thought. A plain looking boy with a determined look on his face. Almost immediately it said, "Gryffindor." "Kurashi, Hinano." a cheerful looking girl with bright orange hair walked to the front confidently. "Hufflepuff."

"Year 5" she said looking at the paper. While she was doing this Karma was already in front of her. "Mr. Akabane, I presume." "Yeah, alright lets see where I will go." She hadn't even let go of the hat when it shouted, "Sytherin." He was smiling mischievously as he walked back to his spot. "Ahem," she cleared her throat before continuing. "Chiba, Ryunosuke." A tall boy with hair covering his eyes came forward. "Hufflepuff." He when to stand next to the girl he came in with. "Hayami, Rinka." That girl came forwad. "Hufflepuff." She walked back and high fived the boy. "Maehara, Hiroto." A boy with shoulder length hair walked up to the stool. "Gryffindor." "Okajima, Taiga." A boy with very short, black hair stepped forward. "Gryffindor."

"That is the end of the 5th years. Now for the 6th years. "Muramatsu, Takuya." A blond boy with a distinct smile walked up the the front. It took a moment "Hufflepuff." And lastly "Terasaka, Ryuma." A tall bulky boy walked up to the front. "Gryffinfor."

"Now that everyone is sorted let me tell you some of the rules from the school." Said the old man behind the desk.

Harry had ran into Ron and Hermione, they were mad at each other at the moment. Crookshanks, Hermione's new cat, had tried to eat Scabbers, Ron's old pet rat. Percy, who was now a head boy, couldn't find his badge. He wouldn't let any of his brothers leave until he found it. Ron left Scabbers rat tonic at the bar. Since he couldn't leave, he offered to get it for his.

It was dark now, and he was halfway to the bar when he heard the angry voices of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley coming from the parlor. He didn't really to listen them to argue but he stopped when he heard his name. He moved closer to the parlor door. "...makes no sense not to tell him." Mr. Weasely said. Harry's got a right to know. I've tried to tell Fudge, but he insists on treating Harry like a child. He's 13 years old and -" "Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley shrilly. "Do you really want to send Harry back to school with that hanging over him? For heaven's sake, he's happy not knowing!" Harry thought that she thought of him the same way. If he were in there, he would have argued with her.

"I don't want to make him miserable, I want to put him on his guard!" said Mr. Weasley. "You know what Harry and Ron are like, wandering off by themselves - they've ended up in the Forbidden Forest twice! But Harry mustn't do that this year! When I think what could have happened to him that night he ran away from home! If the Knight Bus hadn't picked him up, I'm prepared to bet he would have been dead before the Ministry found him." Harry was also very thankful that the Knight Bus picked him up.

"But he's not dead, he's fine, so what's the point -" "Molly, they say Sirius Black's mad, and maybe he is but he was clever enough to escape from Azkaban, and that's supposed to be impossible." Mr. Weasley said sternly. Harry had started to think that with magic, nothing was truly impossible. "It's been three weeks, and no one's seen hide nor hair of him. and I don't care what Fudge keeps telling the Daily Prophet, we're no nearer catching Black than inventing self-spelling wands. The only thing we know for sure is what Black's after -" "But Harry ill be perfectly safe at Hogwarts." Mrs. Weasley said. Harry wanted that to be true to Hogwarts could be dangerous as well.

"We thought Azkaban was perfectly safe. If Black can break out of Azkaban, he can break into Hogwarts." Said Mr. Wealsy. "But no one's really sure that Black's after Harry." A thud that sounded like Mr. Weasley's fist on the table. "Molly, how many times do I have to tell you? They didn't report it in the press because Fudge wanted it kept quiet, but Fudge went out to Azkaban the night Black escape. The guards told Fudge that Blacks been talking in his sleep for a while now. Always the same words: 'He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts.'" Harry got a chill down his spine at that.

"Black is deranged, Molly, and he wants Harry dead. If you ask me, he thinks murdering Harry will bring You-Know-Who back to power. Back lost everything the night Harry stopped You-Know-Who, and he's had 12 years alone in Azkaban to brood on that..." Silence followed, and Harry leaned closer to the door hoping to hear more.

"Well, Arthur, you must do what you think is right. But you're forgetting Albus Dumbledore. I don't think anything could hurt Harry at Hogwarts while Dumbledore's Headmaster. I suppose he know about all this?" said Mrs. Weasley, defeat in her voice. "Of course he knows. We had to ask him if he minds the Azkaban guards stationing themselves around the entrances to the school grounds. He wasn't happy about it, but he agreed." "Not happy? Why shouldn't he be happy, if they're there to catch Black?"

Harry wondered what kind of guards were at a wizard prison. "Dumbledore isn't fond of the Azkaban guards. Nor am I, if it come to that.. but when you're dealing with a wizard like Black, you sometimes have to jion forces with those you'd rather avoid." said Mr. Weasley. "If they save Harry-" "Then I will never say another word against them." he said.

"Dumbledore is actually here now. Sorting new tranfer students. It's the first time in history. Why this year, at such a dangerous time..." he trailed off. "It's late, Molly, we'd better go up..." As he heard the chairs move he hid out of sight. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley didn't see him as they climbed up the stairs.

They are sorted based on what characteristic they show the most.

Gryffindor - bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry

I tried to use the dialogue from the books, changing only where needed to fit the story.
