Oosaka Naru, of Juuban District, Toyko, Japan, finds herself in a magical-school somewhere in Scotland! Her responce: "Why?"
Chapter 07: Conferences. Part 1.
The start of the next week found Naru in the Great Hall, getting ready for breakfast and her first two classes.
As she was about to start reading through the next chapter of her Potion's Manual, an owl landed opposite her plate and mug of pumpkin-juice!
"Nani-yo?!" Naru looked at the owl. "Ara.. color and symbol on band.. Office of Medi-Witch?"
Naru then removed the envelope from the owl's pouch:
"By the hand of Madame Poppy Pomfrey, Head Medi-witch of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
affiliated with St. Mungo's of London.
"To Oosaka Naru-chan.
"You presence is requested, along with Mssr. Severus Snape, Master of Potions, at the earliest possible time, at the medical-wing of Hogwarts'
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It has come to our attention that magicks not normally associated with Hogwarts appear to be gravitating
around you, and we wish to determine if these magicks will be a threat to your health or not.
"Signed, Poppy Pomfrey, M.D., St. Mungo's."
"School-Nurse wishes to see me? Snape-Sensei dano? Why?"
After quickly foinishing her breakfast, Naru then went to the high-table to see Minerva McGonigall:
"Magoniga-Sensei? I have a question?"
"And, what is the question, Miss Oosaka?" The Transformations-teacher and Assistant-Headmaster asked in reply.
"I have letter from Nurse Pomfrey! Hai." Naru replied. "Here is letter. Hai."
Minerva McGonigall read the letter. "Oh!"
"Do I have permission to go see Pomfrey-Sensei?" Naru asked. "I will make up class as soon as possible! Hai!"
"You may, Oosaka-chan! This must be urgent for Poppy to send this missive!"
"Hai, Magoniga-Sensei!" Naru bowed. "How may I get messege to Snape-Sama dano?" She asked as she raised her head.
"I am sure Professor Snape has already received the messege", Minerva smiled, "and will be awaiting you with Nurse Pomfrey! Now, go, child!"
As soon as the classes were starting, Naru found herself in the medical-wing with Poppy Pomfrey and Severus
Snape.
"Ah!" Poppy Pomfrey smiled "Naru Oosaka! Please, come in." The medi-witch then pointed her wand to a parchment
and quill. "Scripturos!"
"Why am I here, Nurse Pomfrey?" Naru asked, a bit perplexed. "Am I ill? I do not feel ill! Will I be ill?"
"Calm down, Miss Oosaka!" The medi-witch smiled. "There is no reason to worry yourself sick. No. It is just -
a precaution!"
" A... 'Precaution'?" Naru responded. "Why? What for?"
"It is because," Madame Pomfrey searched for the correct wording, "of you.. reaction.. to last evening's
werewolf-attack."
"Wonder why I was not made ookami? Why Greyback-Sama back away?" Naru inquired.
"Hai, Oosaka-chan!" Snape said in a solemn tone. "Such nehavior.. is RARE.. among wolfpacks! Especially, in
Greyback's pack! They consider Hogwarts' their PERSONAL 'hunting-ground'."
"Hai." Naru answered her inquisitor. "Thought of asking Ookami what Mahautsukai had ever done to him! Then
thought against it! Hai. List would, probably. be too long! Remember hearing what wiches think of wolves."
"Amazing.. clarity.. from a novice-witchling!" Pomfrey observed. "Especially, for one not raised in a witch'
household."
"Hiijiji was senin." Naru told the medi-witch simply. "Maybe - line-of-inheritence? Also, hiijiji talk to me
at times. Hai."
"That MIGHT be part of it?" Pomfrey guessed. "Different schools, different cultures, DO view the same spirits
differntly. BUT! That does not explain why an outlaw like Fenrir Greyback demured to you so quickly."
"That is why I am here, Poppy!" Snape answered. "We - Albus and I - have had discussions on a possibly-related
matter with Miss Oosaka, before."
"About the reported-ghost?" The nurse asked. "I have been .. warned of the ghost .. by other students."
"Iyaa." Naru lowered her shoulders and moped. "Magpies."
"Well, in their defence, Miss Oosaka.." Powfrey smiled, trying to lift Naru's spirits.
"What defence, Poppy?" Snape growled.
"Oh, hush, Severus!" Poppy admonished her fellow-Slytherin. "Anyway, as I was TRYING to say, Miss Oosaka,
no one has ever reported this particular ghost at Hogwarts in the lifetime of even the oldest witch, here!"
"Last time ghost was here was when she was living, she explained to me. Hai." Naru remembered her dream.
"Over one-thousand years ago. Asked me to watch-over her daughter while here at Hogwarts'."
"You KNOW her daughter?" Pomfrey asked Naru.
"Hai." Naru answered. "I think so! Have for long time!"
"That may explain Greyback's reaction to you, Naru-chan!" Snape smiled. "Would you be - adverse - to being
given Verisitas?"
"Magickal truth-serum?" Naru asked her House-head. "Why? Am I on trial?"
"No, Naru-chan!" Snape reassured her. "It is just- ? Veritas will work against any sub-concious blocks we
put up, so that what is said is as truthful an account as the teller can give."
"Hai." Naru then sat up. "How is veritas administered?"
"Three drops on the tongue, Miss Oosaka!" Pomfrey responded. "It's quite painless!"
With that said, Severus measured out the veritas and dropped it on Naru's tongue.
"Now for a couple of Test-questions!" Snape stated. "What is your birth-name?"
"Oosaka Naru!" The young girl answered. "Family-name, 'Oosaka'."
"And, when were you born, Miss Oosaka, and where?"
"1982," Naru aswered. 'Juuban District, Tokyo, Japan.'
"Good. Good." Severus Snape smiled. "Now, Miss Oosaka. We have heard that you held-back an attack by the werewolf,
Fenrir Greyback. Is thia true?"
"Hai." Naru answered.
"And, how did this happen?" Snape asked.
"Greyback said he would turn me and Andi-chan - MacaRanal Anderea-cham - into Ookami! Could not let that happen.
Iyaa. Feel strange glow over ne. Hogwarts look like washed in moonlight. No moon demo. Cloudy night. Tell Greyback
hunting mahautsukai at Hogwarts is no longer allowed. He obeyed like, as he said, I was of the moon."
"How can this be?" Pomfrey asked. "You are not of the Lunarian-race, are you, Miss Oosaka?"
"I do not think so, Iie." Naru concurred. "Never heard of lunarian-blood in family-legends."
"A question along this line, Naru-chan?" Snape asked. "From the discussion you've had with Albus Dumbledor and myself!
Have you ever met a Lunarian?"
"Hai, Sensei!" Naru perked up and smiled. "I.. think I have! Queen Serenity of Luna says I have! Best Friend in the
world! Hai."
"And, how long has this friendship been?" Snape asked, an idea forming in his mind.
"Since I was five!" Nsru answered, still smiling. "Hai. Still friends. even though new friends come in her life. I make
room. Hai. Room for Sailorsenshi." Her smile then disappeared. "Even when Senshi take friend away from me."
Pomfrey gasped at this revelation:
"You - know - the legendary Senshi?"
"Some of them!" Naru answered the Medi-Witch. "Hai. Never told, until now."
"Thank you for your answers, Miss Oosaka." Snape concluded the questioning. "I do ask one more thing! May I take a bit of
your blood? For examination?"
"Hai, Sensei!" Naru agreed.
Afterwards, with three drops of Naru's blood and the proper-potions and incantation, Severus Snape seemed to have the answer
to Promfrey's - and his - question.
"Oosaka Naru was born a full-blooded Terran Shamaness! Her bloodline, and powers, are clearly traceable to Oosaka Akiyumi!"
Snape said as he studied Naru's blood. "And? She has been closely-gaurded by Lunarian-magic since the age of five! That was
discovered by a silver sheen to her blood. Also?"
Severus then turned to Naru:
"It appears, Oosaka Naru-Sama, that an adoption-spell has been placed on your person, recently. The Adoptor.. is Royal-Lunarian."
"Royal.. Lunarian?" Naru took a gulp of air. "Queen Sereniti.. adopted me? Why?"
"You said, Oosaka Naru, in Potions' Class," Snape smiled reassuringly, "that you felt that the Princess was like a sister to you!
Well? Queen Serenity MAY have decided to formalize that bond!"
"Hai." Naru whispered. "Arigatounisai, Sereniti-kaasan!"
"Pomfrey-Sensei?" Naru asked Poppy. "What will happen to notes?" She gestered to the sheets of parchment and the quill.
"Oh?" Poppy chuckled. "Gomennisai, Oosaka-Sama! Goshinpainaku! Thos will go into your medical-file! None shall see them outside
this chmber! And? If you wish? The note may leave with you, when you graduate, if you so wish it!"
"Arigatounisai. Pofrey-Sensei! Snape-Sensei!" Naru thought a moment than asked the Medi-Witch:
"Pomfrey-sensei? What I ask next will be intrusive. May I see files on MacFergus twins demo? After I talked to Ookami, Grouch-chan
started calling me 'Mistress'! MacRandal-chan explained the why of it to me! Hai. MacFerguses are Ookami? Gruoch seems to be ..
'imprinting'? on me. Hai. If that IS happening, I wish to be best aneue I can be! Need to know much dano! Will need to know who else
watches them! Hai!"
"Certainly inquisite! And? With perpose and ambition!" Snape grinned. "Little wonder you were sorted into Slytherin! I am the one
who watches over Gruoch and Girric! I have since they were born. You have kept secrets, before! And? You shall keep them, in the
future, I am sure! Poppy? Naru-Sama may read the files on Gruoch and Girric. AND, on Andrea MacRandal, also! Be here warned,
Oosaka-Sama! Reading these will make meeting Fenrir Greyback, again, a certainty! Would you care for some coffee?"
"Arigatounisai, Snape-Sensei!" Naru took the offered-coffee as she read from the files as Poppy Pomfrey offered some chocolate.
