Bakugan Battle Brawlers At Hogwarts

Second Year

- Flourish and Botts

Days passed after Runo Misaki arrived at the Kuso household. All of them excited for her stay would always make sure she felt at home, and did she. The girl couldn't remember a time she was happier staying at a different house than at the Wool's Orphanage. With Mr. Kuso's constant questions for her about the muggle world and stories from when he was younger alongside her father, and Mrs. Kuso's constant thoughtfulness towards her, giving her clothes to wear and always making sure that she was well fed and cleaned. She was even given the room on the third floor, since she couldn't stay at Dan's room for the nights. They accommodated it for her needs and now she felt eternally grateful towards them. The same could be said from her two friends. Dan would always cheer her up in his usual way and Shun would make sure she didn't get too uncomfortable inside the house. As well, most of the nights the three friends would sneak out in the backyard to watch the starry night, talk and even play some Quidditch.

From what they had talked during previous nights, Shun was actually staying in the Kuso household until the Hogwarts term started once again. Apparently his grandfather had some business to attend to back in the magical world and he wouldn't be able to sent him off properly to London, so Dan offered him to stay at his house. He also explained to the girl that the only reason he knew how to drive was because his grandfather constantly pestered him to learn, since his sight wasn't that good and he would crash constantly on the road. According to the Slytherin he also worked for the Ministry of Magic but in a completely different department from Mr. Kuso.

Her two friends had to explain to her with specific detail about the Ministry of Magic, since she felt completely lost at the mention of the system. A Ministry of Magic apparently is the primary governing body of the magical community in many countries. Headed by a Minister of Magic, a Ministry of Magic is responsible for regulating and enforcing laws for the magical community, as well as keeping said community hidden from the muggle world. As for Great Britain's Ministry of Magic, it was divided into different departments; Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Department of International Magical Corporation, Department of Magical Transportation, Department of Magical Games and Sports and the Department of Mysteries. Apparently Shun's grandfather worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, at the Auror's Office and as for Dan's father he worked in the same department but he was in the Improper Use of Magic Office. Both of her friends didn't get much into detail at what their relatives did during their work, but according to the brunette boy, the job of Shun's grandfather was way cooler than his dad's.

It was a warm morning and all of the residents of the Kuso household were currently eating breakfast at the kitchen. Mrs. Kuso was still scrambling eggs on the pan, along with some slices of toast and fruit. Whereas Mr. Kuso was still talking lively to Runo about the time when he and her father had found a secret passage between the school and Hogsmeade. The girl laughed constantly at the jokes the man would say and look in amazement knowing more about the teenage years of her father. Dan was still devouring pancakes while Shun would only remind him to breathe once in a while.

"And then suddenly we had gotten into Honeydukes!" Mr. Kuso lively explained to the girl by his side "After that we bought many candy with our allowance and went our way back to Hogwarts before we could get caught" He laughed remembering with detail the moment passing through his mind. Runo smiled even brighter at another tale from the man. Suddenly his face lit up once again and asked with curiosity "Are you on the Quidditch team?"

"No" The girl suddenly felt taken a back by the question as Dan's father frowned at her with curiosity.

"Are you sure?" He asked once again as he got closer to her face, as if inspecting her to know if she was lying or not about the matter. The girl shook her head as the man slumped back in his chair with a little disappointment.

"She still can't be on the team dad" Dan said as he finished with his tower of pancakes and sighed with satisfaction "Remember, it is until second year that we are able to apply" His face then turned into one full of glee and determination "And this year there is the position open for a Beater and a Seeker in Gryffindor" He was almost jumping off his seat in glee.

"And you're applying?" Runo asked incredulous. Dan shot her a look and stick out his tongue at her, she responding the same way and then taking a piece of fruit to her mouth.

"If I have a chance of becoming a Beater for Gryffindor I'm going to take it!" He was about to jump from his seat to the table but his mother only shot him a glance and the boy thought better about it. His father then turned his disappointed expression into one full of happiness. Runo was sure he had more mood swings than the average teenager.

"You're applying for Beater?" He inquired a grin forming on his lips. The brunette proudly nodded and his dad ruffled his hair "Way to go son! I wish you the best of luck in it!" Then his eyes seemed to gleam with mischief. From that moment the blunette knew the resemblance of Dan with his father was uncanny. He turned to her and then suggested: "Why don't you apply for the Seeker position Runo?"

"Me?" The girl pointed towards herself but the idea seemed really dumb to her. She faked a laugh and shook her head in denial "No I'm terrible at Quidditch"

"She's lying dad" Dan said with a mischievous grin on his lips "Every time we have played Quidditch here, she's the fastest of the three" He explained "She and Shun go head to toe and you know how fast he can be" His father nodded as they both kept looking at her. The girl turned to Shun for help but her friend only shrugged and continued eating as if saying 'It's your problem'. Then a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Hey don't scare her like that" Mrs. Kuso sent her husband and son a glare until they backed off, apologizing and then turned to the girl with an apologetic smile "They get really excited when it comes to Quidditch"

"But you should really think about it Runo" Mr. Kuso added cautiously "Your father was a great Chaser back in the days and thanks to him we won the Quidditch Cup" That piqued Runo's interest and turned to the man. He grinned and started explaining "Your father and me, along with Shun's father, Haurto and another friend" He coughed back a little and continued "We were in the Quidditch team when we were in Hogwarts, I was the Keeper, Tatsuo a Chaser and Haurto a Beater" His lips formed into a sad smile but then he sighed and turned to her with a more lively expression "You should try it, there are only trials after all"

The girl smiled now her interest for Gryffindor's Quidditch team increased. Dan had been commenting her about the trials for their house for some time now and she knew how much her friend wanted to be part of the team, but she never felt that attracted to it. It was true that whenever she played Quidditch with them, she would feel an incredible amount of adrenaline and determination inside her. The brunette had suggested her to try out for the team in the past as well, but she would dismiss his claims and keep on playing. Now she felt even more attracted to the idea of belonging to the Quidditch team of her house.

Suddenly a crash was heard from the nearby window. A brown owl flew inside the house and crashed down on the kitchen table, almost sending the plates to the floor. The blunette watched in shock as the owl stood now on its two legs and presented a letter to her. Hesitantly she picked it, as the animal now turned to Dan and Shun and did the same. Both of her friends picked their respective letters, not too shocked as she was, and opened them with ease.

"Don't worry about Topaz, he does it all the time" Dan commented as he handed the owl a slice of apple he had on his plate. The owl accepted it gratefully and started nibbling at the fruit. The girl only rolled her eyes and inspected the letter, noticing it was from Hogwarts she opened it right away. "It's the new school supplies mom" The brunette boy said as he handed Mrs. Kuso the list of the new material for their second year.

"There sure are a lot of Defense Against the Dark Arts books" Miyuki commented with a worrying face…" Then she released an exited yelp "Your new teacher is Klaus Knight?!" She then proceeded to jump in excitement.

"Who?" Runo whispered to Dan as they both eyed Mrs. Kuso still squealing in delight and Mr. Kuso trying to calm her down, a jealous frown forming on his face.

"It's a famous wizarding celebrity" The boy watched helplessly at his parents "He has a tons of autobiography books, telling how he did heroic acts all around the world" he then rolled his eyes in an annoying manner "Mom is crazy for him, and as you can see dad is not that happy about it"

"But isn't Professor Drago suppose to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?" The blunette inquired. The brunette boy shrugged and thought about the question for some time until the Slytherin piped in the conversation.

"Maybe Klaus Knight is going to be a substitute for this year only" The raven haired boy suggested as the other two nodded at the thought. Runo looked at the list once again and yes like Mrs. Kuso had said they were around seven books just for that subject alone, and he was the author for all of them.

"Then it's decided!" Mrs. Kuso's voice rang inside the kitchen, making the teens turned to look at her "Today we're going to Diagon Alley!" She cheered once again as her husband only gave her a weak grin. Runo's lips turned up into a grin as well as her friends. They were all practically pulled out of their chairs by Miyuki to get changed and dressed properly for the trip. Within the hour everyone was gathered around the chimney with their respective things and letters.

Runo was still tying her hair into a low ponytail as she stood next to Dan. They were all wearing their respective school coats, each with the crest of their own house, over their clothes. Both of Dan's parents were dressed quite vigorously, Mrs. Kuso had a long red coat, underneath a pair of blue jeans, a white blouse and a pair of black ballerinas, and Mr. Kuso had his usual red wine suit and a black tie.

"Okay now make sure you don't forget anything, all right?" Mrs. Kuso asked loud and clear as she picked up a little pot that was resting beside a family photo on the chimney. Then she turned to the blunette extending the pot towards her. Runo only looked confused as she saw only ashes on the inside of the pot.

"Mom she has never traveled with Floo Powder before" Dan commented beside her. His mother's eyes widened but smiled nonetheless.

"Oh well, then let me explain it to you dear" The woman said as she gestured to her son to move forward. He did as told and stood next to her "Now it's very simple to travel through Floo Powder Runo, you only have to do as Dan does it, alright?" The girl nodded and watched in concentration at her friend. The brunette not amused grabbed a handful of the ashes inside the pot and entered the small chimney. He turned to them, extended his hand and breathed out.

"Diagon Alley!" Dan threw the powder onto the chimney and suddenly he was engulfed in green flames. Before Runo could even react he was gone and the flames had gone out.

"See it's not that hard!" Mrs. Kuso said lively and took the girl's hand before she could protest. She walked her inside the chimney and extended the pot towards her "Just take a handful of the powder, throw it in the chimney and be very clear to where you want to go" She instructed the blunette with a serious tone of voice. The girl nodded once again as she did the same as her friend. She grabbed a handful of the powder inside the pot and waited until Mrs. Kuso had taken some steps back. Runo breathed in and out, she could do this.

"Diagonalley!" She threw the powder and instantly saw the green flames engulfing her. She didn't feel hot at all from the source and she could no longer see the Kuso living room. It felt quite strange as the flames kept on moving around her, a tight feeling in her stomach starting to appear. In a flash the girl was thrown into the ground and she felt her body collide with a hard wood floor. The blunette coughed as she saw the cloud of dust appearing in her line of vision, making her unable to breathe for a moment. She sat up and adjusted her eyes to the sight in front of her.

It seemed like she had already landed in a place, but she was sure this wasn't one of the shops at Diagon Alley. She was inside what looked to be a store, full of mysterious artifacts and body parts of mythical creatures. Runo stood up, dusting her clothes off as she started to examine the enormous amount of shelves that the building had. She was barely able to see anything with the lack of light inside the store, so she walked carefully from one side to the other. 'Where am I?' her mind questioned as she kept looking. She could make out the silhouette of evil-looking masks staring down at her from the stone-walls and spiky ornaments hanging from the ceiling. Then she heard the jingling of the bell from the front door, and footsteps coming from the other side of the room. Thinking quickly, the girl discovered a dusty old large cabinet, opened the door and quickly hid inside. The sound of the door being opened was heard throughout the store, as her heartbeat quickened. Footsteps coming inside the building and the door closing echoed inside the small room. Runo placed a hand over her mouth, to prevent breathing too hard or being found out in such a place.

"Ah Mr. Prince what can I do for you?" An old elderly voice asked from the other side of the room. Another set of footsteps until silence was met.

"Hello Mr. Dharak" A deep rough voice said with disinterest. The blunette turned to the door of the cabinet, with a small opening. Carefully the girl approached it and watched the people just a few meters away from her. Around the counter was an grey haired old man, who looked like he was still on his pajamas, grease smeared all over his hair and a wicked grin showing off his yellow teeth. In front of him stood a taller broad man with a scowl all over his face. His hair was pure white along with his beard, a tan skin, and he was wearing a nice blue suit and over it a red cape. And next to him stood a known Slytherin student. 'That's Hydron's father' Runo thought with displeasure as she watched the blond boy looking all around the store as his father placed some articles over the counter.

"I'm here to sell these. With the Ministry investigating homes in search for dark objects, I fear that I can be the next target" The man commented dryly as the older man examined the objects carefully.

"I'll gladly take this objects off your hands Mr. Prince" He then shoved the objects into his hands and placed them under the counter "But I'm sure you might want to buy something from my store, wouldn't you?" He asked while watching Hydron looking at the masks from the ceiling.

"Hydron stop that" His father commanded and the boy with frantic eyes returned to his side. The man shoot him an angry look and turned to the owner "I'll just take the money for the objects I sold you and that will be all" He said dryly. The owner of the shop didn't comment anything else and gave the man the money for the sell. Then the Prince family thanked the man and walked towards the exit of the shop as Mr. Dharak followed behind them, making Runo unable to see them.

"Answer me another question Mr. Prince?" The old man asked with curiosity. The blunette pressed her ear closer to the door wanting to hear the question. A silence passed until the old man spoke once again "Is it true all of the rumors I've been hearing? That something bad is brewing at Hogwarts?" The girl's eyes widened as she awaited the answer.

"I'll just tell you this Mr. Dharak" Hydron's father stated, clearly upset by the question "Stick to your own business" Was the last thing the girl heard and the sounds of footsteps fading away. The door was closed with a slam and an angry huff was released from the owner of the shop as he walked in fast strides to the other side of the room.

"Damn that Zenoheald Prince! I'm sure he has bigger and darker objects back at his mansion! He's just hiding them from me!" He started rambling, Runo only hearing his voice getting quieter. Another door was slammed and then silence reigned inside the shop once again. Carefully the girl opened the cabinet door, not making any sound as she hopped off the furniture. Catching her breath, Runo walked quietly but in a hurry towards the door, wanting to get out of the place. The girl opened the door, the bells jingling once again, but she dashed out of the shop and into an empty street with a sign indicating she was in 'Knockturn Alley'.

Everywhere she looked, the girl found similar stores to the one she had just visited. She could feel several people looking at her with strange eyes as she walked from one building to another in a hurry. Several men where also watching her but with mischievous eyes, and the girl could feel fear rising in her system. A hand was clasped on her shoulder and as if on instinct the girl took out her wand from her jeans and pointed it at the other person.

"I didn't know you where this scared Runo, I apologize" Haos Tigrerra was standing in front of her with an apologetic smile and the girl could feel her heart filling with relief. She let out a puff of air and bowed down in apology to her teacher.

"I'm so sorry Tigrerra! It's just that-" The girl started to apologize but stopped once she heard a laugh erupting from the teacher's mouth.

"Oh don't worry about it Runo" The woman waved her off. The blunette smiled at seeing her favorite teacher once more in front of her "But do tell me, how did you end up here in Knocturn Alley?" And the girl explained to her about the whole mess with the Floo Powder, Tigrerra looking at her with amused eyes "Alright then, let's get you to Diagon Alley, this is no place for wizards like you" And with that the Transfiguration Professor walked by her side and led her through a series of alleys and streets to get to the so famous Diagon Alley. The woman asked her about her summer, and Runo felt bad lying to her about her vacation but she tried to ease away the guilt.

"Anyways why were you back there, in that creepy old alley?" The blunette asked with curiosity as they kept on walking a series of unknown streets. The woman only smiled down at her.

"I had some business to run down there, that place really gives me the creeps" She explained with a nervous smile, that the girl couldn't help but to laugh. Then they took another turn and Runo was met with a knowing sight.

Rows and rows of lively and colorful shops were placed at each side of the alley, each one flooded with wizards shopping or talking excitedly to one another. The blunete released a sigh of relief as she and her professor walked through the street, looking for a pair of familiar faces. Runo watched in awe at the new merchandise that the shops were offering, each product more exciting and fun than the other ones. Then the calling of her name pulled her back from her thoughts. The blunette instantly looked up and was met with the gaze of her red haired friend, calling out to her in excitement a few meters away from her. The girl didn't hesitate as she ran over to her and engulfed her in a hug.

"Alice!" She called out to her and they both laughed as they hugged. They pulled back both of them with big smiles on their faces and hugged once again.

"Runo! I was so worried about you!" Alice exclaimed as she pulled back from the hug. She was still the same, the blunette noticed, but the only difference was that her hair was pulled in a low bun. The red head was wearing her Ravenclaw cloak over her clothes as well, and was carrying some bags at her side.

"Long time no see" Runo commented as the Transfiguration Professor got to her side once more. She merrily greeted the red head girl and then turned to the blunette with an apologetic smile.

"Well you already found someone familiar, I'll take my leave here" She bowed down and turned to the girls with another smile "Take care of yourselves girls, I'll see you back at Hogwarts. Oh and Runo?" The woman asked kindly as the girl turned towards her "I'll give you your present once we get back" She winked and with that, Tigrerra turned and walked further into the crowd of people, eventually disappearing in it. Runo waved a goodbye to her until she was out of her sight.

"Now you have some explaining to do" Alice said as she crossed her arms over her chest "Why didn't you respond any of my letters? I send Dan and Shun to check up on you back at the orphanage, did something happen?"

"Right…" Runo turned to her friend with a small smile as she started scratching the surface of the scar "Well you see it's a really long story" She was cut off her sentence once more as her name was being called out again. The girl turned but her body collided with another one.

"You're safe! We were really worried Runo!" Mrs. Kuso said with relief as she hugged the blunette. The girl could almost feel the guiltiness starting to wash over her body. With reddish cheeks at the sudden contact, the blunette pulled back and bowed in front of the woman before she could speak.

"I'm really sorry! I misspelled the place and ended up on a completely different alley" Runo apologized and stood back once again. Miyuki was now smiling at her and patted her head affectionately.

"Oh there's no need to apologize for that dear! We were worried but you're safe now, that's what matters!" She brightly smiled and then turned to go inside the store with her husband following behind her. Then the blunette felt a flick on her forehead. She looked up and was met with Dan's annoyed gaze.

"Oi what's up with that Kuso!" Runo argued with the brunette. Shun was also standing behind him, but ignored the interaction as he moved to greet the red head.

"For making us worry, idiot!" The brunette argued back, now inching forward but the girl paid it no mind.

"Well you made a terrible example on showing me how the Floo Powder works!" Runo edged on closer, frustration now taking over and hands clenching at her sides.

"It's not my fault idiots like you don't understand it!" Dan said back, louder and more frustrated than before.

"You're the idiot, idiot!" The blunette fought back, with a louder voice and edging closer to her friend.

"No, you are!"

"No, YOU ARE!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"Guys!" Shun's voice snapped them back to reality. Runo mumbled something under her breath as she moved away from Dan, not noticing the blush that was forming on her friend's cheeks by their proximity. The Slytherin had a bored look on his face as he opened the door for their group to go inside the store. Alice thanked him and entered with ease, as Runo and Dan entered still mumbling arguments under their breaths.

The blunette looked up and was meet with the sight of rows and rows of books, pilled up on to each other, making large columns from one side to the other. She tried to take out her list of things but with the large crowd of people that was inside 'Flourish and Botts' she was unable to do so. Dan walked past her, and motioned everyone to follow him to get inside of the crowd. No one argued as they followed the brunette into the mass of people. Most of them were middle-aged women, all whispering to each other with dazzling smiles on their lips.

The group got to the Kuso couple, whom were standing pretty close to what everyone was looking at. Runo noticed that Mr. Kuso had a forced smile on his face, annoyance clearly evident, while Mrs. Kuso had the brightest smile and looked like she was flowing with excitement. Then suddenly squeals and exited yells came from the crowd in the shop as someone appeared from the back rows of books and approached an old wooden desk. Runo wasn't able to see quite well, the women squealing once again. The click of a photograph being taken also made way to her ears.

"Ladies and gentleman, the one and only Klaus Knight!" Clapping hands and excited squeals erupted all over the little store, just as a couple of footsteps were heard by the blunette.

"I am sad to announce that my autobiography 'A Day In My Life' would be postponed until further notice" The voice of a young man spoke as some groans and whining was heard from the crowd of women. The girl tried to peek in between the bodies of the crowd but she only caught glimpses at what seemed to be a man with a very stylish set of clothes. "Do not fret my fans, the reason for this is that I'll be taking the position of teacher in Defense Against the Dark Arts at the school of Hogwarts this year, since the current professor is on a trip and won't be back until next year" Runo's face turned to a frown as she heard the last part. Professor Drago was away on a trip?

"Can you see anything?" She asked at no one in particular. At her side Alice was about to say something but then the blunette was pushed from the back, making her trip and fall just as she got to the front row. The girl continued to hear even more squealing as she was unable to get up from her position. Out of nowhere silence was all around the shop as the people who were almost crushing her parted away. Runo was about to ask what was even happening when she felt someone hosting her up from her upper arm. Once again the room was filled with screams of excitement as she was pulled up and was standing once again. The girl to look up at her savior only to see a man in his mid twenties, with long, silky silver hair and dazzling blue eyes. He was wearing an extravagant platinum suit with a royal blue cape to go with it. The girl wasn't sure how to react at the yelling from the crowd inside the store.

"Young lady, are you alright?" The man asked with a thick accent and kindness as he took hold of her hand and kissed it gently. The girl felt her cheeks light up at such an act. She was about to remove her hand from his grip but then his eye's widened for a moment. He straightened up and inspected her arm, a knowing look appearing on his face.

"Runo Misaki!" He exclaimed and clasped his hands with hers. The crowd went from a shrieking mess to one full of whispers and murmurs. 'Oh great' Runo thought as the man was looking at her in delight. "It's such an honor to meet you, young lady!" The man bowed in front of her as the girl's eyes grew in confusion. Suddenly the man stood up again and brought her body closer to his. Runo's eyes widened, her cheeks reddening even more just as a blinding light appeared in front of her. "Oh it'll be delightful to have that picture on the front page of the Daily Prophet!" The man exclaimed once more, just as the blunette was rubbing her eyes, trying to regain her sight once again.

"When Runo Misaki entered Flourish and Botts this morning she never would've guessed she'd leave with the set of all of my works for free" Before Runo could even register what was happening, she felt a load of books being placed in her arms "Signed and Deluxe Edition!" More cheers around the crowd, and the girl was honestly getting annoyed by the atmosphere around the store. "Off you go young lady, I'll see you when the term starts at Hogwarts!" He gave her a pat in the back as the blunette was sent back into the crowd.

Runo pushed people from one side to another as she got to the entrance of the store being able to catch her breath after such odd interaction. She dumped the books onto the floor frustrated. The girl fanned her face, trying to vanish the red in her cheeks. The man had a terrible attitude that was true, but she had to admit that he was pretty good looking after all.

"Runo Misaki" A voice with disdain called out her name "Can't even enter a bookshop without making a scene, can you?" The blunette turned and right in front of her was standing Hydron Prince with a smug grin on his face.

"Hydron Prince, I recognized your foul stench when I entered the shop" Runo argued back a frown already appearing on her face. She really wasn't in the mood to be talking with spoiled brats, especially him.

"What do you want Hydron?" Dan's voice asked in annoyance. The brunette was suddenly by her side, face more annoyed and frustrated than before as he glared at the blond in front of them. Alice and Shun also made their way towards them, each holding a black cauldron where they placed their purchased books.

"Can't defend yourself, Misaki?" Hydron asked smugly as he moved closer to her "But look you got yourself a boyfriend" He smirked and just as he was about to continue, Dan's father got beside them.

"Kids what are you still doing here? It's way too crowded, let's go outside" Mrs. Kuso announced as he got to their side, annoyance clearly on his face as he sent looks to his wife waiting in line for Klaus Knight.

"Well, well, well Shnjiro Kuso" The voice of an older man said with mischief. Runo looked up recognizing the voice as the one from Burgin and Burkes. Behind Hydron there stood his father.

"Zenoheald Prince" Mr. Kuso nodded coldly at the man, clearly wanting to avoid him as best as he could.

"I hear your department has been very busy lately" Mr. Prince continued, his sneer widening "I hope the Ministry is giving you a raise for all your work" He took a look at Dan and him before adding "Seems like they haven't" Zenoheald Prince commented with a sly smile on his lips. The older man turned his eyes to her and Runo could feel some shivers going down her spine.

"Runo Misaki" He extended his hand to shake it and the girl hesitantly took it "Zenoheald Prince, we meet at last" Then the man out of nowhere took her upper hand, and examined her known scar. The girl released a gasp at the sudden action but said nothing. "I hope you don't mind" Prince started explaining, as he continued to look at it "But your scar is legend, and even more the wizard who gave it to you" Runo's face turned into a scowl as she freed her arm from his grip.

"Naga was nothing more than a murderer" She said with disdain. The man now looked amused at the comment she had just made. She took some steps back not wanting to interact with this man anymore. Mr. Kuso instantly got in front of her, an evident glare on his face.

"You must be very brave to speak his name so freely" Zenoheald commented and then shared a smirk with his son "Or very foolish"

"It's a shame the Minister isn't here to hear you babble on about He Who Shall Not Be Named" Shinjiro said, his hands forming into fists at the blond man's comment "I'm sure your lie of being under the Imperius Curse would be evident by now" Zenoheald's head whipped fast enough to send a glare at Dan's father.

"You are a disgrace to the name of a wizard Kuso" He muttered darkly.

"We have very different ideas of what a disgrace to the name of a wizard is Prince" Mr. Kuso said without missing a beat.

"Clearly" Zenoheald scanned the girl's group of friends as his eyes settled on Alice, expression full of disgust. Alice flinched in an instant just as the blunette's frown was full of confusion "The company you keep, and I thought your family couldn't sink any lower-" Before he could continue, Shinjiro had already lunged himself at the man, punching him right at the jaw, a cracking sound evident around the shop. Dozens of books went flying all around as the crowd at the front of the shop shrieked as the two men continued to fight each other.

"Get him dad!" Dan shouted amongst the crowd, rooting for his father every now and then as Mrs. Kuso tried to stop her husband from fighting any further. The manager of the shop was also trying to break up the fight but was clearly failing. Then out of nowhere the men parted, floating away from each other and placed away from one another. Klaus Knight had a proud smile as he tucked away his wand inside his robes, the crowd of women already forming around him. Runo and her friends went straight away towards Mr. Kuso, which had a cut lip, some blood coming out of him as Mrs. Kuso scolded him for his behavior. Zenoheald had a swollen eye and a dark bruise on his jaw, as he glared at the man and walked angrily towards them, eyes settling on Shun.

"The same goes for you Kazami, you should learn more from your grandfather" He growled in anger "You only bring disgrace to your family's wizard name, you should choose a more suited company than them." He said with a smirk as he handed him one of Knight's heavy books onto his cauldron. Runo was about to interfere in the conversation but the raven haired boy stopped her before she could open her mouth.

"I already have" Shun was glaring at the man, hard enough that sent chills down the girl's spine. Zenoheald looked offended as he turned away from them, both him and his son leaving the store, completely furious. The manager was now basically pushing their group of the store and once they were outside, he slammed the door closed and locked it. Runo sent him a glare before she turned back to her friends.

"A fine example for Dan dear…brawling in public" Mrs. Kuso let out an exasperated sigh as she kept on inspecting her husband's lip.

"I think it was awesome" The brunette grinned widely, his father sending him a grin as well, just as his mother released a frustrated yell. Runo couldn't help to smile at the interaction, a familiar tug appearing on her stomach. She turned and her eyes focused on Shun. He was still looking towards where Hydron and his father had left and curiosity crept on her mind.

"What happened between your grandfather and him?" She asked quietly. The boy only sighed, not looking back at her.

"My grandfather has been working on the Ministry for years as Head Auror, and he has the same mentality as him that purebloods are superior than muggleborns." He shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest "Him and Zenoheald have been acquaintances for a long time and he knows I don't agree with them since my mother was a muggleborn."

Runo only nodded after he finished talking, taking the silence as a sign he had finished. She had to agree with him, she found it absurd how someone could discriminate another person just because their parents weren't magical born. It made no sense to her how so many wizards where that narrow-minded.

"Well I better meet with my grandfather now, it's getting late" Alice said with a kind smile as she waved goodbye, walking away from her group of friends. The blunette could notice that the red head had something on her mind, something was bothering her, but she didn't ask as she watched her form disappearing inside the crowd.

"We better get back home as well, let's go kids" Shinjiro said with a bright smile as everyone walked towards the familiar pub 'The Leaky Cauldron' were according to Dan they would take the Floo Network once again to return to his house. Runo tried not make a face, remembering the bad experience she had just lived. The brunette continued to tease her while Shun would make a teasing remark every now and then making her hate the Floo Powder even more. She confirmed her disliking for the system once again as she used it and ended up on Kuso household, falling down on the carpet head on. Her friends didn't stop teasing her for days.


HEY GUYS! I managed to upload this new chapter in a month like I promised, yay for me! I think for the next chapters it's probably going to be the same, I'll update the story once a month, so for those who don't like waiting to long, sorry!

As for the chapter I guess if you have already seen or read the HP books you'll know that Klaus Knight will be the counterpart for Gilderoy Lockhart hehe but I'll make changes to the character since I have another plans for Klaus for the future in the story. Also Zenoheald will be the conterpart for Lucius Malfoy and for that I think I'll leave it as it is, since I think Zenoheald is a worse father than Lucius.

Another thing, if you've noticed the change in the cover a round of applauses to you! I actually managed to design the Brawlers wands and draw them in my spare time, I hope you like them and I'll leave the description of their respective wands here (From left to right will be listed like in the picture guys, the first one from the left is Shun's). If you can't see the image very well you can PM me if you want and I'll pass it to you! Anyways, I hope you guys liked the new chapter, thanks for the support and if you have any comment or review let me know! Have a great week!
