Chapter 10: A little fun at Hogsmeade

Tai was walking to the Great Hall. Next to him were his oldest friends, his sister, and their three new friends they had made since arriving at the magical school of Hogwarts. It was a cool Sunday morning and Harry, Ron, and Hermione had a fun day planned at the now rebuilt and reopened village of Hogsmeade. According to them it was one of the best ways to spend a day off. Apparently Ron was really bent on having them taste something called Butterbeer.

The group arrived at the hall and sat down at their table and hot chocolates were passed around. Due to the weather getting colder outside everyone was wearing sweaters and some even had gloves and scarves. No one complained about the hot chocolate. "Kari, you're still looking cold. Here, let me help." TK said putting his arm around Kari's shoulder. She giggled and got closer to him.

"TK, your arm won't be of much use if it's torn off." Tai warned.

TK gulped and went to remove his arm but Kari stopped him, "Oh c'mon Tai, let it go. You said it yourself that if you could choose anyone for me it would be TK."

"I know but that doesn't mean I can't threaten him for fun." Tai responded smiling.

"Well I hope you guys are ready because Hogsmeade is a great place to be, you know, when digimon aren't attacking." Harry said. Everyone got a good laugh and after breakfast set off to the village.

After a brisk walk they all found themselves in Hogsmeade and in front of a plac named The Three Broomsticks. It was then that Tai and Matt had the same realization at the same time, this was the building that they had witnessed their battle from atop of. Well, it'll be nice to see this building from the inside this time Tai thought.

Harry led them all inside and Tai instantly liked the place from the warmth it gave alone. The butterbeers were ordered and when they had all taken a seat Tai was eager to try the drink he had heard from so many was amazing. The Child of Courage raised the glass to his lips and after a moment of hesitation, drank. Tai wished he could stay like this forever. After a few seconds of drinking he reluctantly put the butterbeer down for air. Tai looked around the table and realized the other digidestined were all looking at him, just as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, waiting for a reaction.

Tai put his thumbs up, "Guys you gotta try this!" He exclaimed downing the rest of the drink. The other digidestined drank their butterbeers and immediately there were shouts of, "Wow! What was this called? I want more! I wish my mouth was bigger, and You guys go on ahead and just leave me here with about 50 glasses." The last one was by Davis.

Harry laughed at his six new friends reaction to the butterbeer as they all quickly gulped down what was left of their new found drinks. He looked around at everyone smiling and laughing. These were the moments Harry enjoyed most. No battles, no worries at the moment, just him and his friends enjoying their time together.

"We got to get some of these for our digimon later." Matt whispered to Tai while everyone else talked.

"We should but I have a feeling they'll never be the same again." Tai whispered back. The two old friends laughed together while Hermione observed them closely from the other side of the table.

She leaned over to Harry, "Why do they randomly talk to each other in Japanese like that?" Hermione whispered to Harry.

"Relax Hermione, there probably just inside jokes between them and besides, we should respect their privacy." Harry responded.

"So" Hermione said addressing the whole table, "We did bring you guys out here to show you Hogsmeade we also wanted to learn more about you. I mean, we've met other European wizards and American wizards but never Japanese wizards. I didn't even though there was a school there."

"Which is surprising considering Hermione knows eeeeeverything." Ron said in a mocking tone.

"Shut up Ronald! How many times has my knowledge saved your sorry butt?" Hermione's question quickly shut him up while a round of laughter went through the table.

"Well there are actually many Japanese wizards but they are more focused on their own country, not really much else." Ken said. He really didn't like to lie but the Child of Knowledge knew it was necessary for their mission there.

"Huh, well that's interesting. So do you guys know the same spells that we know? Like do you know stupefy, expillarmus, or wingardian leviosa?" Harry asked.

"We do. But in Japan we are mostly taught defensive spells." Matt said. Tai was getting scared at how good at lying his friends could be. But I guess with having to keep their digimon a secret from most people for so long would do that.

"So what happened to the rest of the kids at your school after those digimon things attacked it?" Ron asked. Hermione gave him an incredulous look and the red head didn't understand why.

"No, its ok. The rest of our classmates were just sent to other schools. Hogwarts didn't have that much room." Tai said.

"And what about that clown digimon? When I talked about it the other day, all of you acted like you had seen a ghost."

"Ron!"

"What? I'm just asking."

"Yea him. You see we did fight him when he attacked us and to tell you the truth we thought we had him beat but if what you guys said was true then I guess he's back." Tai said. It was the closest thing to the truth they had said all day.

"Hang on. You guys fought and beat Piedmon? I know he's still around but I mean you beat him in a fight?" Harry asked amazed.

"Uhh yea, although it was mostly TK and Kari that beat him." Tai said scratching the back of his head.

The three wizards gave the two younger digidestined shocked looks. "You guys beat him?! But he was so powerful and you guys are only 13!" Hermione said still in shock.

"Well, it was mostly TK who took him down." Kari said blushing from all the praise.

Ron looked at TK, "I really want to see you and Harry duel one day mate. I wanna see you in action!"

"Ok." Was all TK said. Hermione turned to her old friends and started talking about how since Japanese wizards were able to use mostly defensive spells to beat such a powerful digimon then maybe they should start focusing more defensive spells then. While she did that TK leaned over to kari and whispered, "if we ever tell them the truth, we definitely got to tell them that it was our digimon that took down Piedmon, not us."

"Agreed."

"Anyways, we got a big question for you guys now." Ken started.

"We do?" Davis asked.

Ken elbowed him before continuing, "Why is everyone here so scared of this wizard, You-Know-Who? Or I guess his real name being Voldemort." The atmosphere in the restaurant instantly changed. It seemed to suddenly get darker and the happiness drifted away.

"Don't say his name." Ron hissed.

"I still cannot believe that everything he did didn't reach Japan." Hermione said.

"All you guys really have to know is that there is not a person out there more horrible and more twisted then him. He kills for fun. He'll torture and do anything to anyone to get what he wants and anyone who gets in his way basically puts a kill me now hat on their forehead." Harry said.

"Oh and the fact that Harry is a chosen one destined to defeat him one day, Harry has sort of got a price on his head. You know, just for your information." Ron said matter-of-factly.

"Wait, so this all so powerful wizard that has killed so many people and done so many evil things want to kill Harry next? Why?" Davis asked.

"Because of a prophecy." Hermione said.

Tai heard TK mutter 'Why is it always a prophecy?' before continuing, "So I guess this prophecy predicts that one day Harry will defeat Vold-" Tai caught Ron's glare. "Ok, that Harry will defeat You-Know-Who and he wants to stop that from happening?"

"In a nutshell, yeah." Ron said.

"Shouldn't you have bodyguards around you or something with this all powerful dark wizard after you?" Kari asked Harry.

"Harry doesn't like all that attention. Besides, he has the two best bodyguards the wizarding world has to offer." Ron said.

"Who?" Matt asked.

"wh- us!" Ron said sounding a little offended while gesturing to himself and Hermione.

"What? Oh sorry we didn't mean to be mean-" Tai started to say.

Ron burst out laughing, "I'm just messing with you guys relax haha."

"That wasn't funny Ron." Hermione said but no one really believed her by the smirk on her face.

"Anyways, that's enough talking, time for you guys to see Hogsmeade!" Harry said enthusiastically. The next couple of hours for the digidestined were some of the strangest hours of their lives, but they still had fun. They found products they never thought could ever exist, and they've been to the Digital World many times mind you. Ron also brought products from his brothers joke shop and so they all had a great time playing tricks on local residents. Just giving them itching cream and making their surroundings go black. Nothing harmful.

Unfortunately that was the extent of it. Due to the rise of Voldemort, most of the shops were closed but everyone still had a good time just walking around and joking with each other. It was kinda nice, Tai thought, to be in this nice village and not fighting some crazy digimon.

Now the sun was setting and the group was beginning to head back to the castle with each of the digidestined holding a new butterbeer in their hands. It was for their digimon later.

They were just starting to leave the village when they heard a very cocky voice say from the side, "Well well well, leave it to Potter and his friends to make friendly with those losers!" Harry internally groaned as they all turned around to see Draco Malfoy walking toward them trailed by Crabbe and Goyle and their usual large group of Slytherins behind them.

The two groups faced each other on opposing sides. Nine on nine. Malfoy stepped forward, crossed his arms and smirked, "Hey, you with the forest hair." He said looking directly at Tai. The Child of Courage clenched his fist.

Harry put his hand on Tai's shoulder, "Don't let him get to you."

"Shut up Potter, I was talking to Mr. never heard of a haircut there." Tai stepped forward, "Hello there. My name is Draco Malfoy and Ieader of the 'leave our school you foreign freaks policy!" the slytherin behind him all snickered. "So what's with the goggles you and the shorter one there wear? Afraid Japan is going to sink at any time so you're always prepared?"

All the Slytherins burst out laughing. Matt stepped up and stood by Tai, "You better shut your mouth before you regret it." Matt threatened.

"Oh? And what are you going to do about it?" Malfoy asked taking his wand out. Tai knew that Harry was right. All this kid wanted trouble and he had to control himself, and possibly Matt from showing this kid the end of his fist. After a few seconds of silence Malfoy laughed some more. "You know, I've noticed something. You guys have been here for a while now and none of us have seen any of you do any magic. None at all. Every time we would be in class and we have to use spells you guys are assigned some writing assignment. You know what I think? I think you guys can't even do magic!"

More silenced passed before the Slytherins all burst out laughing. Malfoy spoke, "That's what I thought! "

"Shut up Malfoy. Just because you haven't seen them do magic doesn't mean they're muggles." Hermione argued.

"Oh really Granger? Have YOU ever seen them do magic?"

"Well…I…um" Hermione stuttered.

"Well, I think there is only one way to settle this," Malfoy continued. He stepped outright in front of Tai. "C'mon forest hair, hit me with your best shot."

Tai took out his fake wand and pointed right at Malfoy's chest wishing he could hit him with a spell to wipe the huge smirk off his face. "Well, what are you waiting for? Hit me!" Malfoy encouraged.

'well he asked for it.' Tai thought. He took a deep breath. "Terra Force!" Tai yelled before using his free hand to punch Malfoy straight in the face. The Slytherin, not expecting that at all, crumpled straight to the ground.

"Malfoy!" Crabbe and Goyle quickly bent down and pulled Malfoy back up. He ripped his arms out of their hands. "Why you-!" Malfoy whipped out his wand…

"Hey! What's going on over there!" a voice yelled from across the yard. The groups of Gryffindors and Slytherins looked over to see Hagrid walking over to them. While everyone was turned around Crabbe punched Tai in the back of the head.

"Hey!" Davis yelled charging forward only to be stopped by TK and Ken grabbing his arms. Hagrid appeared between both groups holding his arms out to each stopping a miniature war from starting.

"Ok, everyone calm down." Hagrid said.

"Calm down!" Davis yelled while struggling to get out of the hold TK and Ken had on him. "That baby elephant attacked Tai from behind like a coward and you expect me to be calm!"

Tai, who was helped up by Matt, said "It's ok Davis, just let it go."

Crabbe smirked from next to Malfoy, "Yea, calm down. Besides, all fair's in love and war."

"All's fair!" Davis roared, "I'll show you fair with my foot up your ass!"

"Alright, that enough!" Hagrid yelled above everyone successfully quiting everyone down, "Now all of you back to the castle. You too Malfoy, or I will bring this up with Snape." Malfoy growled as he and his entourage walked back up to the castle. Harry started to lead everyone in his group back to the castle but Hagrid stopped them, "Harry, you, Ron, and Hermione can be head up to the castle. Dumbledore would like to see these six."

"Ok, see you guys" Harry said waving to Tai and the others before he, Ron and Hermione walked back to the castle.

Hagrid then led the digidestined, but not to the castle, to his cabin. "So Hagrid, what does Dumbledore want to see us for?" Ken asked curiously.

"He doesn't." Hagrid said smirking, "Yer digimon have been asking for you all day."

Tai smiled, "Thanks Hagrid."

"Noooo problem."

Hagrid led them back to the barn hidden in the Forbidden Forest. "Make sure to be back in the castle before dark." Hagrid said before leaving them.

Tai braced himself and opened the door. "Tai!" a very familiar orange blur called before it jumped into his arms but since Tai was ready this time, he was able to stay on his feet. "Learn to control yourself Agumon." Gatomon said walking up with the rest of the digimon. "Besides, you've been away from him longer then this before."

"Yeah I know." Agumon replied getting out of Tai's arm, "We have but never in a place like this before."

Once greetings were done everyone sat together in a circle and butterbeers were passed around to the digimon. "What is this stuff?" Wormon asked looking at the butterbeer as if it might be poison.

"It's called butterbeer and… well I don't know how to describe it, just try it!" Davis answered.

Veemon looked down at the drink. Well if his partner said it was good then oh well, might as well try it. Besides, Davis hadn't led him wrong in what was it? Oh, two weeks. Veemon took a sip of the new drink. All the digimon watched him waiting for the verdict. The little digimon looked down at his drink, his hands started to shake. Then his whole body began to shake. Within a couple of seconds Veemon was vibrating so much that he dropped the butterbeeer.

Before anyone could react, Veemon shot off in a blue blur bouncing off any and all surfaces of the barn. After ten minutes of diving out of the way and trying to catch him, Veemon was finally caught by Gatomon and pinned to the ground until his rush was over.

"Ummm thanks." Veemon said slightly blushing with Gatomon on top of him.

"No more sugar for you." Gatomon said playfully getting off of Veemon and going over to sit by Kari. The digidestined sat by there respective digimon and formed a kind of circle on the ground. Tai began and others filled in throughout as he told the digimon about their day. Davis was especially excited to list off all the people he would be playing jokes on when they got back with all their magical new pranks.

When the story go to the part about Malfoy and the fight that was about to erupt, Patamon stood up and said, "Hey, tell us what this guy looks like and we'll get him back for you!"

"Don't hurt him… too much." TK said.

"Nooooo, we would never do that but could you imagine that Malfoy guy waking up and finding himself in the middle of this forest! Don't you realize how funny that would be!" Patamon said.

"Everyone burst out laughing. "It's very tempting." Matt said between laughs.

A vibrating from tai's pocket caught everyone's attention and halted the laughing for a moment while he took his D-terminal out from his pocket and read it. Tai's eye's widened greatly.

"Tai? Tai, what's wrong?" Kari asked very concerned.

The Child of Courage had to gulp before answering, "Japan… Japan was attacked…"

The happiness that was just previously in the room instantly vanished leaving nothing but dread hanging in the air. Matt was the first to speak, "Attacked? Wh-What happened?"

Tai took a deep breath, "An-an army of Infermon attacked downtown. They caused a lot of damage before our friends could get there. Izzy wrote here that they were actually copies of a single Infermon that was there making them easier to beat. Ok, that's good. Anyway, He and Joe battled the Infermon and… and it actually digivolved to Diaboromon." There were several gasps before he could continue, "Alright! Izzy was actually able to get Tentomon to mega and beat him! It says that they are all ok and so are our families but…" Tai trailed off.

"Tai?" Matt said

"But… there were casualties before they could there and help. Some people were killed." Kari put her hand over her mouth and everyone else looked downcast.

"So, I mean, do you guys think we should go back?" Ken asked the whole group. Before anyone could respond to Ken's question Tai's D-terminal vibrated again. He looked at the message:

From Izzy:

Don't even think about it Tai.

"I don't think they want us to come back just yet." Tai said turning the D-terminal around so everyone could see. "Izzy and all the others want us to trust them and you know what? I do. I do trust my friends and I believe in them."

"Tai's right, I believe in them too." Matt encouraged. "Are you guys with us?"

"Yea!" they all yelled.

"Besides, we need to be here when the big badie shows himself so I can take him down! I bet I could even do it in this form." Veemon said jumping up.

"Awww how cute, Veemon thinks he's tough." Agumon said standing up and patting the other rookie on the back.

Veemon slapped his claw away, "Think?! I'll show you tough!" Veemon challenged clenching his fist.

Bring it!" Agumon accepted holding his fists up.

Wormmon got in between the two before anything could start, Can't you too just do what me and Patamon did and settle this with a staring contest?"

"Haha ok guys that's enough. We got to get going. Besides, Agumon can beat Vemon up another day." Tai said standing up too.

"Yea guys we should really get goi- wait? What?!" Davis sputtered.

Spirits were high again as they all laughed standing up preparing to leave. Goodbyes were said and the digidestined left, making sure to get back to the castle before it was dark.

The dorm room only had a few people in it when the didgidestined arrived but found Harry, Ron, and Hermione to be sitting by the fire. The three turned around and saw theyre new friiends coming toward them, "Hey guys, what did Dumbledore want?" Harry asked.

"Oh, he just had a few more questions about the attack on the school." Tai said already having thought of what to say on the way back.

Davis stretched and yawned, "Wooh, I'm pretty tired, I think I am going to go to bed. Goodnight." The rest of the digidestined agreed saying they were all tired too and started to head up to the beds, none of them noticing however, the suscpicous eye of Hermione following them as they left.

Well there you go. I had actually something sort of big planned for this chapter but I decided to leave it for next chapter or a future one, I'm not sure yet. Anyways, make sure to leave any idea's you have in a review or shoot me a pm. Thanks for reading and please review!
