Hiei's Jaded Dragon: "Hiya everyone. Currently I haven't been updating due to school starting. And well I live in Texas, so my friends and I have been helping Katrina victims and now we're in the middle of Rita. Sucks ass man. Right now I'm at my house stuck in the storm with my family. We live on a hill so we're pretty safe but this is just plain crap. So I'm a crazy Texan stuck in Texas because the freeways are too crowded to leave."
Hiei: "Baka ningen, just swim."
Me: "Sweet naive Hiei. . .YOU CANNOT OUT-SWIM A HURRICANE!"
Hiei: Covering from my wrath.
Me: Well here's the update. Hope you enjoy it."
Kemiko3955: "No, it's not that I hate Harry Potter—it's just that I don't like certain characters; I like them there only to harm them in some way. Now others I absolutely adore. But some get on my last nerve. This story takes place in their sixth year (I disliked HPB) and it's just my interpretation of what the Tenkai would do at a boarding school. Magic just adds to the fun."
Jesor Cabue the Anacam: "Finally someone who agrees with me—my friends hate Draco. See I am devoted Slytherin fan so dark characters are my thing."
slancaster113: "I know the sixth book was a big let-down. I will not include any details from that book in here. And the father in law thing—my dad scared away my first boyfriend by threatening to shoot him; my dad collects guns. It was funny though."
Lord of the Dark Fluffiness: "Hp is ok but sometimes it downright sucks. Anyway I'll check out those books when I have the time."
fanfic3484: "Yeah that part was fun to write; my mom thought there was something wrong with me when I was laughing at the computer while typing it."
Bus Buddie: "I hate the couples and I wanted Dumbledore to stay alive too. And how could they do that to Snape!"
CrashedmyHarley: "A crazy person after my own heart. Thanks for blowing up the asylum . . . now they cannot send me back! Mahahahahaha! I am invincible!" I get beaten up by rabid dust bunnies. "Or maybe not all that invincible." I pass out.
RaineArilan: "Ok about Shizuru, I was going to have the girls do make over's before they left for school. Glad you like the crossover-ness of this. Oh and I like Remus too . . . I forgot him . . . oops."
Hiei's girl 06: "Thanks and here's the update."
Vashlover9: "I e-mailed you and well it's been a long time since I've heard from you. E-mail me later."

"Talking"
(Author's notes)
-Thoughts-
/Telepathy/
The little voice inside your head
Parlestongue
Hiei and Talia arrived at the temple at about six in the evening. They put the red bag and her snake in Hiei's room then head to the living room. Yukina was in the kitchen cooking and everyone else was lounging in the living room, going over their latest batch of notes.
"Hey sis, how'd it go with daddy?"
"He was ecstatic— then he threatened Hiei. Silly old man."
"We've gathered some more valuable information on this school while you two were away. We looked into basic supplies and the curriculum. Apparently they have thirteen subjects: History of Magic, Herbology, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies, Divination, Flying, Charms, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Ancient Ruins, Arithmacy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts."
Yusuke whistles then adds, "Shit that's a lot of crap to learn. It's going to take forever!"
"Not quite Yusuke. Some fo the stuff we already know, like Muggle Studies. Most students sleep through history and they fake Divination as well. Boton and Jin can help us learn to fly, and we have Defense covered seeing as its only fighting. My sister has dabbled in Astronomy, Kurama's an expert in Herbology, and I know a bit on Potions (she made the 'Tell All' potion in my first fic)"
"Kick ass, less crap to deal with. So now what?" The detective asks lazily.
"Well after we eat a bit, Koenma is supposed to come and make us a portal to take us to Diagon Alley. We're supposed to pick up books on the basics of magic and get supplies for our sixth year" Kurama answers.
(Ok I read HPB but there were several parts I absolutely hated, so I'm ignoring pretty much everything in it. This is the trio's 6th year with the Renkai Tenkai joining them.)
After eating, a pop was heard and there stood, er floated, the annoying tot-sized ruler. "Yusuke I've constructed a portal just outside the temple. It will close immediately after you enter and will reappear in exactly four hours. That's more then enough time for you to buy all you need. The portal will drop you off in a back alley of near-deserted Knockurn Alley. It's a shady place, so don't stay there long. Not too far away is Diagon Alley. There you purchase what you need and then head back to Knockurn to return home. Here's the list of supplies a sixth year needs along with common books on basic magic. Also this sack," he says hanging Kurama a bag, "is full of wizarding money. The little bronze ones. . ."
"Are knuts, the silver ones are sickles, and the large gold ones are galleons. It's 29 knuts to a sickle, and 17 sickles to a galleon." Kurama smartly adds.
"Yes, but how did you know that?" Koenma asks, puzzled.
"A thief makes it his business to know these things. . ." -Even after all these years I still remember that. As Yoko I stole from man, demon, and wizard. Good times, good times.-
"Well whatever but you guys need to leave now." And with that, the toddler pops away.
The guys reluctantly get up and jump through the portal, (this includes everyone, even Genkai) landing them in a pile in one of Britain's dark alleyways. Since there was a different time zone, it was only four o'clock.
Meanwhile in another part of Great Britain:
An owl fluttered into a dark room on Private Drive, even though it was still during daylight hours. It gave a letter to a boy with messy black hair, and with its job done, departed and headed home. The boy opened the letter which read:
Dear Harry,
Since Lord Voldemort and his Deatheaters are on the lookout for you, we've decided that it would be best if you got your supplies for next year now, rather than later. Our sources reveal that Lord Voldemort was planning to attack you when you went to Diagon Alley at the end of summer. The Grangers and the Weasleys will be going with you, along with Tonks and Professor Snape. They were the only two I could find on such short notice. Please behave and don't do anything to endanger yourself. Be on the lookout for anything suspicious. We will pick you up via apparition into your room. This way your relatives will not be disturbed. Please inform them that you'll be leaving for the remainder of summer. Best of luck,
Albus Dumbledore
PS- Could you pick me up some sweets, Minerva has confiscated mine saying my teeth will root. Thanks.
The boy smiled a bit, glad he'd be leaving soon. He went down stairs, left his aunt and uncle a note, and went upstairs to pack his things. Fifteen minutes later, a tall man, covered head to toe in black appeared with a loud crack. The boy regarded him coldly and likewise got a cold response.
"Professor" The boy said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Potter" The man said with an even greater amount of distaste.
The man shrank the boy's things with a flick of his wand and instructed the boy to place the shrunken items into his pocket. His owl perched on his shoulder and the boy turned to his least favorite teacher. With a grimace, the man placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and they left with a loud crack once more. They reappeared in the main street of Diagon Alley, where they both childishly wiped off the place where they had to touch the other. A large crowd met them in a matter of minutes–– the Weasleys, the Grangers, and Tonks.
"Oh Harry, how are you." Hermione Granger squeals, enveloping Harry into a hug.
The others greet him with happy smiles and a few hellos. Professor Snape pulls out four lists, which he hands to, in his eyes, offending children (Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione). The large group beings to head to Flourish and Blotts except for Snape, who said he'll pick up the student's potion supplies. It was merely his excuse to get away from them all.
Meanwhile in yet another part of Britain:
"Draco honey, hurry up. I want to purchase your school things before all the riffraff comes and touches everything with their filthy un-pure hands. After asking the ministry to give me you supply list early, I am not going to waste a favor."
"Coming mother" The boy replies, walking down the stairs of their manor.
Narcissa touches her son on the shoulder and the two reappear near the entrance of Diagon Alley.
The mom heads to Flourish and Blotts to pick up her son's books, while the son says he's going to look for something that peaks his interest, thus meaning he heads to Knockurn Alley.
Back to the Renkai Tenkai:
"Ow, my head. Kuwabara, get your fat ass up off of me." Whines Yusuke.
Slowly but surely, the group untangles themselves and stand up.
"Kurama, Kira, Shizuru, and Touya, I want you guys to go to the bookshop— this list says we can get all our text books at a place called Flourish and Blotts. Here's the money and the part of the list on books." Talia says tearing the list and handing them a good portion of the money.
"Keiko, Yusuke, Jin, and Boton, will head to the apothecary to buy ingredients and caldrons." Talia adds handing them a portion of the list and some money as well.
"Genkai, Kuwabara, Yukina, Hiei, and myself will go to the stationary shop and pick up quills and parchment. We might also browse around here–this place is shady, maybe we can learn a few things here. I want us all to regroup in an hour in front of a wand shop called Ollivanders. If anyone asks why we are here, just say that our master came here in search of a job and we're here shopping" Talia said while the group splits up.
Kurama and his group head off to flourish and Blotts where they run into problems. They enter the shop just fine and dandy but when they get there, a rather large group of red heads, with a few others, are in the very front, blocking their way in.
"Excuse me but could you all please move. We've on a schedule." Kurama politely said.
"Well aren't you the polite one dearie, but I'm afraid that we can't move any faster because the shopkeeper has gotten some wards set up which prevent the use of magic inside his building by anyone except himself. Sorry but we must move in one at a time. It's sad times we live in." Said a nice middle-aged woman with vibrant red hair.
"Well that's silly. Not all people need magic to cause major destruction anyway." Kira said pouting. -That's retarded–-- a demon could come in and rip these people to shreds and only one stupid man could even do a damn thing about it. Stupid magic people.-
"The wards placed on this place were done by Dumbledore himself and can prevent the use of any potion, spell, enchantment, charm, or muggle weapon. Only the store manager may use his wand here for the purpose of moving heavy equipment and doing other various tasks. No major destruction can be caused." a girl with bushy hair asks, sounding like she knows everything. -Hm they are clearly not from around here—why are they here. Who buys books at the onset of summer? The lists haven't even been given out. Are they deatheaters maybe? And if so, how did they find out we were here? We should be on our guard.-
"And you'd be who again?" Shizuru says lazily, lighting a cigarette. -This is boring. Good old cigarettes—their always good for a quick fix. Hm Talia sent me here with Touya, maybe we should talk since this line isn't moving any time soon . . .-
"I'm Hermione Granger and you shouldn't be smoking in here; it is a bookstore. Plus it's bad for you."
"I don't see a sign. And by now, don't you think I know what's bad for me? Now mind your own business and turn around." -Nosy girl.- Shizuru thinks.
"Hey don't you talk to Hermione like that!" Said a tall red head.
"She didn't mean any disrespect to your girlfriend. So keep a level head and please leave us alone." Touya said. -These people have attitude problems. They take things the wrong way. Shizuru just wanted to enjoy her smoke and relax. It's none of no one's business.- Hm, but why did you stick up for her? Are you taking Yusuke's advice and maybe going after her?. . .Uh. . . we'll deal with that later. Right now we need to focus on this mission.-
Both the red head and Hermione turn beet red. "We do not date!" they both yell.
"Ok so you don't date; we really don't care. Just kindly quit talking." Touya remarks unfazed. -They need help . . . serious help.-
The twins and Ginny giggle at the two oblivious lovebirds. Even Harry cracks a smirk.
Hermione pulls Harry and a disgruntled Ron away and whispers "I thought no one was supposed to be here. They look about our age and there is no way they already have the supple list, so why are they here? They are clearly form Asia…do you think Voldemort has expanded his operations?" –This just seems fishy….-
"Relax 'Mione, they look like they here just to shop. Maybe they're on vacation here." Harry replies.
At the very moment, Kira asks Kurama "Ok so what books do we need?"
"According to the list, we need 'A standard book of Spells Grade 6', 'Taming and Proper Care of Magical Beasts,' 'Advanced Potions Grade 6,' …"Kurama says as he lists off various books.
"How do they already have the list?!" Hermione whispers to her friends.
At that very moment, Narcissa Malfoy enters the store and notices the same thing. –They have the correct list for six year students …everything he's spouted off matches perfectly with Draco's supplies.-
"You know not many are privileged enough to receive Hoqwarts Supply list early. How did you come about it?" Said a tall beautiful blonde woman, who would have been even prettier if she didn't have such an unpleasant look on her face.
But the guys were used to unpleasant look coming from decent people. Hiei always had some unhappy look to him and they liked him anyway. She seemed to have just walked in the shop and was standing behind the Tenkai, placing them in the middle of a group of Weasleys and a Malfoy.
Stepping carefully and not missing a beat Kurama replies "My family owns a jewelry business in Japan. We asked a member of our clientele if he'd mind terribly to get for us the school supply list for Hogwarts Grade 6." -A jewelry store…yes the caves in which you hide all your loot can really be considered a legitimate business venue. In Makia, yes.-
The Weasleys and company perk up at hearing this. Someone using money and power to get what they like...all being to listen intently to the foreigner's conversation.
"Oh how lovely. My family collects rare and priceless gems. Perhaps we could do business sometime. My name is Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy by the way. A pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is all ours" Kurama answers with a polite bow. "My name is Shuichi Minamino, but my friends call me Kurama. This here is my girlfriend Kira and my two friends Shizuru and Touya."
"So I suppose you'll be attending this year?"
"Probably yes. We are scoping out the area and seeing if we'd like to attend. Our sensei thinks it does well for the young mind to be broadened by travel. Magic here is slightly different from magic back home and she wants us to be proficient in both." Kurama answers.
"Yes, those who don't venture far from the home often lack sophistication." Narcissa remarks, looking disdainfully at the Weasleys. "You have a very good teacher."
"Thank-you. Tell me, how is Hogwarts?" –She seems like an affluent woman—she probably knows a lot of the under workings of the Magical society.-
"It will do. Some professors clearly deserve their position but the headmaster is less than admirable. He hires old friends and even dangerous creatures, with little regard for the student's safety. My son Draco was mauled by a hippogriff because the senile fool allowed a giant to teach Care of Magical creatures."
"Hagrid is a good teacher. Draco was the one insulting Buckbeak. And Dumbledore is a great man. Don't you dare insult him!" Harry shouts.
Mrs. Malfoy smirks, anticipating a verbal spar but is interrupted.
"Dumbledore? You mean the man you mentioned earlier who set up these protective wards?" Kira asks.
"Yes that's right. He is a powerful wizard who seeks to peaceful ways to resolve problems." Hermione answers.
"Really? Your headmaster is that pathetically weak?. We----" Kira starts but is cut off by Kurama, who finishes with "Know some people who could easily remove these wards. Kira's sister Talia and her boyfriend are most effective at countering magical spells." –Kira almost let it slip that we could all remove this barrier. I guess she's forgotten that Talia and Hiei will be the ones taking the heat.-
At this Narcissa perks up and the Weasleys frown. "Dumbledore is not pathetic. He is one of the greatest wizards of all time. I love to see your sister break these!!!" Ginny shouts.
"Pay no head to those cretins; they have no class and arguing with them is not worth your time. . ." Narcissa said before getting cut off by an extremely angry redheaded mother.
"Now hold on just one moment Narcissa. Don't you dare say that about us!" Molly said raising her wand.
"And if I do not choose to, what will you do?" Mrs. Malfoy said sarcastically.
"You mean what will we do." A boy with jet-black messy hair said.
"Ladies, gentlemen please calm down." The shopkeeper pleads. -Why me? Can't my customers just behave for once?-
"He's right you know. Why don't we all just turn around and ignore each other?"
"Shut-up pretty boy. We'll not turn our backs to the likes of a Malfoy and those who side with them!" yelled the already angry redheaded boy.
"And who says I'd even bother wasting my time on the likes of you?" Narcissa coldly remarks.
"Don't you say that about Kurama! All he wanted to do was end this fighting!" Kira shouts. -These people have some unresolved issues.-
"And how do we know that you're not all deatheaters!" Ron shouts, ever the hot head.
"How did we earn that title?" Touya asks. –How does their mind connect insulting Dumbledore with deatheater?-
"You are siding with a Malfoy, you're here buying your books when Harry Potter is, and you've magically come in procession of the supply list even though you're from Japan! Sounds awfully suspicious to me!" screamed Hermione.
"We're not deatheaters! We came here to buy some books!" replied Touya loudly. –Wonder which one Potter is? Sigh, we already look bad in from of our main target. -
-Well this is pointless. I should have stayed home- But then you couldn't be with Touya. . . -Hm, whatever- thinks Shizuru.
"Cram it deatheater scum! Eat fist!" Shouts Ron as he hits Kurama. (Big mistake)
-Gerrrrr, he hit us- Thinks Yoko. -No pathetic mortal will get away with that.- Kurama growls and hits Ron back.
In a matter of minutes, a fight has erupted . . . a very violent fight. . .who says you need magic to give a beat down?
Meanwhile at the apothecary:
Professor Severus Snape was keenly browsing through the aisles of the apothecary. -Ah a moment of peace, away from those blasted children. Lord knows how loud they're being. So what if I have to gather the brat's supplies . . . at least I'm away from them. Plus as an added bonus, I get to relax in the only store I like in this mundane town. -
However his train of thought was broken when the bell of the shop rung and in walked a group of four Asian teenagers. -Oh joy more god-awful children. And I just escaped the last group . . . damn Albus sending me to fetch Potter . . . why can't I just stay home?-
Keiko, Yusuke, Jin, and Boton quickly found the cauldrons but they couldn't find the sixth year potion supply kits.
"Great all this stuff and we can't find one measly potion kit. And this place smells like Kuwabara's gym bag mixed with Kurama's plants." Yusuke exclaims loudly.
-Hm, if I help them, they'll go away and I can be left in peace . . . guess it couldn't hurt to be helpful; god I hate that word . . . - Snape thinks before walking over to where they are. "The sixth year potion kits are on the third aisle on the second shelf."
"Thank you Mr. . ." Keiko said.
"Professor Snape." He replied before walking off.
"Oh 'e was my'tee creepy but at 'least 'e 'elped us." Jin said.
"Yeah well whatever. Can we go now?" Yusuke asked as they paid for their goods.
"Oh we have to carry all these caldrons—there are twelve of them. Shoot." whined Boton.
Again Snape heard them and being the type of person he is said, "If I shrink your things with my wand, will you be quiet? I came here because no one else likes coming here and I can be alone, free from those wretched children."
"You know what guys, this tall brit sounds a lot like Hiei. Alright if you shrink this crap, we'll shut-up, hell we'll leave as an added bonus." The detective replied grinning. -Hehehe—he sounds like short-stack, but more sophisticated . . . did I just say sophisticated? I've been spending too much time with Kurama.-
So Snape shrinks their purchases and the group leaves him to his peace.
Meanwhile with the others:
"Genkai, I want you, Yukina, and Kuwabara to pick up the quills and parchment. Hiei and I will stay here in Knockurn Alley and see if we can find out any valuable info." Talia said.
The group leaves, while Hiei and Talia browse the shops of Knockurn alley. There are various places that seem to emanate dark energy. Being foreigners, they receive many curious glances. They continue acting like it's nothing but in small town, with people filled with the constant dread of war, it's not often that they receive visitors who have no malicious intent. Thus, everyone seemed to be watching them. They decide to enter a weird shop called Borgin and Burkes.
They browse through the items, not seeing a shopkeeper but hearing some movement in the back. Being dressed in a black robe-like outfit, Hiei fits the part of a shady dark wizard, enabling him to be seen in a place like Knockurn. They see a boy with platinum blond hair, looking at shriveled hand labeled: The Hand of Glory.
"Wow. Look at that hand. It's rather intriguing." Talia said.
"Yeah it always lets the person who wields it win at whatever he does." Said the blonde, standing up. -Hm, I've never seen these two before.-
"Sorry to interrupt your shopping but I'm Talia and this is Hiei. You look about our age . . . would you know anything about Hogwarts?"
"Yes, I go there. Why do you ask?" said the boy suspiciously. -Everyone knows about Hogwarts. What are these two playing at?-
"Our master has decided to become your school's defense teacher and we were wondering what its like. See we're from Japan so we don't know anything about life here. We were looking for someone to talk too."
"Oh . . . My name's Draco, Draco Malfoy." -Hm either she's really dumb coming here or she's really good at pretending to be dumb and is instead gathering up information.-
"So what's Hogwarts like?" Talia asks. -He's suspicious of us . . . guess he's not a dumb blond.-
The blonde grinned and replied "The place sucks. The headmaster is a dotting old fool who favors the Gryffindor house and the teachers are boring."
"Pity, we were looking for a little excitement . . . guess we'll have to liven the place up a bit." Hiei said in a monotone.
-They like to cause trouble . . . I could put up with these two, if I get them on my side first before they become part of Potter's fan club.- Draco thinks.
"So are both your parents magical as well?" Draco asks.
"Yes, our families are very old and well intertwined with the Japanese magical community. My family owns a specialized potion business. Hiei 's family owns a dragon farm." Talia answers smoothly.
"Very nice. My family is from old blood and is deeply connected in the wizarding world." –Hm of good blood and status. I could get to like these two.-
"Well it was nice meeting you but we've got to back to Diagon Alley to meet some friends."
"Wait, my mother's at Flourish and Blotts. I'll go with you." -Maybe I can see what they're up to.-
/Hiei this one is smart . . . if we become friends with him, we could have an inside look on what goes on in the wizarding world./
/Hn good idea./
"Very well, our nerdy friends are probably still there anyway. I swear never send bookworms to a bookstore but they were the only ones who wanted to go." Talia said
And so they left, regrouped with everyone except for the bookworms. They introduced Draco to everyone and no one really seemed to mind. Since they couldn't find their nerds, they headed towards Flourish and Blotts, figuring that they were still in there, having lost track of the time. But they were definitely not expecting to see people gathered outside saying there was a fight inside.
"Oh no mother's in there!" Draco cried out
"And so are the eggheads. Come on we better go get them." Yusuke said.
"Hey when I wrote this the power went out but hey we weren't hit by Rita. YEAH! Well the next chapter is the Disaster continued. Bye.
