"So, son, what shall we do for the remaining summer?" asked Kisuke.

"Train more until I get my Bankai!" replied Kyoya.

"That's a great idea! But how about we turn in early for the evening after supper? We can start Bankai training tomorrow, mid-morning."

"Sure, Dad! I can't wait!"

Kyoya was so eager to start training that he insisted on an early breakfast just to get to it. After taking their Soul Candies to reveal their Shinigami forms, they Shunpo'd to the training grounds under the shop.

As if he sensed this occurring, Albus wrinkled his brow in tiredness. "Harry Potter should arrive soon at Hogwarts, in September. Then, I will pull him up before the first day of class, and ask him where he has been all this time – maybe ship him off to the Dursleys… Really, it's for his own good – and for the greater good. I can implore the Dursleys to allow him into their lives again, but still show some abuse. Muahahahaha!"

Back at the Urahara shoten, Kyoya got goosebumps and sneezed four times. "Someone must be talking about me!"

The boy soon shrugged off the thought as he and his father drew their Zanpaktous.

"Well, shall we get started, Kyoya?"

"Of course!"

Kisuke took a deep breath before saying, "Awaken, Benihime!"

"Soar into the night, night wind!" answered Kyoya. Gusts of wind flew around them while revealing their shikkaio. Two hours into this training session, father and son clashed swords and unleashed Kido spells upon one another – when all of a sudden, Kyoya heard a bit of his Bankai name. "Fly into the sky- …You're still not ready yet, Master!" the Bankai replied.

"Aww…" Kyoya pouted – a gesture that Kisuke took note of readily.

"Looks like someone needs a break!" Kisuke gestured for his son to sit down. "What did you learn?"

"I heard part of my Bankai's name! I was sooooo close!"

After 15 minutes of a break (much of it consisting of Kyoya whining about not hearing his Bankai's full name), Kisuke spoke, "Are we ready to begin again?"

In response, Kyoya drew his Zanpaktou again, as his father did the same. "Let's do this!" Over the course of the next two hours, Kyoya didn't let up on his strong determination to get stronger and show his Bankai that he meant business. To his joy, he was eventually rewarded when he heard, "Fly into the sky, Kamikaze! Say my name, Master!"

Kyoya's eyes widened a little in surprise, but he said the words anyway. "Fly into the sky, Kamikaze!"

A ball of reiatsu formed around Kyoya, changing his regular Shinigami hakama. His clothing was now made from pure reiatsu, "X" marks adorned his arms, and he wore a choker with a Victorian design on the side. His sleeves had a jagged trim, as did his pants. Oh, goodness… Kisuke thought, tilting his head to hid his eyes behind the brim of his green bucket hat. He looks like one scary Shinigami in Bankai mode!

A few seconds later, he spoke, "Well done, my son! You achieved Bankai before going to Hogwarts! I can't wait to tell everyone! …We should probably have lunch, though – it's almost late for it!"

Up on the main level of the Urahara shoten, Kisuke and Kyoya made their late lunch, and 45 minutes later, it was ready. "Everyone, lunch is ready!" called Kisuke.

Though the lunch was a jovial one, as usual, Kisuke felt a bit uneasy during the entire time – and soon found out why. After the meal, a roar that only Soul Reaper could hear sounded off from nearby. Kisuke's machine to detect Hollows suddenly flared up as soon as everyone heard the sound. "Well, my son, shall we go test your powers and skills? And remember, you also have your Kido spells."

"Hai, Otou-san," replied Kyoya. He and Kisuke returned to their Shinigami forms and Shunpo'd to where the Hollow Detector indicated where the Hollow was – and were forced into battle soon after. The Hollow was getting ready to attack a poor random soul, about 15-17 years old, who hadn't moved on from the world of the living. She was 5 feet tall, with a small chain connected to her chest. Kyoya came up to the Hollow, luckily stopping him from chasing his prey. "A Shinigami! I'll have so much fun killing you! Hehehehe…"

"Are you ready?" asked Kyoya's Zanpaktou.

"Ready, partner!" replied Kyoya in his head. "Fly into the sky, Yorukaze!"

A gust of wind flew by as the Hollow attacked Kyoya, releasing high-pitched sounds from his forked tongue. Kyoya leaped up into the air, focusing some of his reiatsu around his feel so he could walk on the air. While the Hollow followed Kyoya, Kisuke unsheathed his Zanpaktou to do a Konso on the girl. "Don't worry, Soul Society is a great place. You'll find it a wonderful place to have a family in the lower cities of Soul Society."

The girl lowered her head a bit so Kisuke could perform the Konso, and soon she disappeared in blue and white sparkles.

Meanwhile, Kyoya was close to finishing the fight with the Hollow, and sliced its mask in half. After the Hollow faded into blackness, Kyoya Shunpo'd towards the ground and stepped into Kisuke's line of sight. "…I've killed my first Hollow, Father."

"Well done, son! I knew you could do it. After all, we've trained you to Byakuya's level, ya?"

"Of course! You taught me well, and so did everyone here."

"Now, we should patrol here and England for Hollows. When you go to Hogwarts, I'm sure there's going to be lots of them there, what with this Voldemort character in place. You know the reason why Voldemort and whoever gave you to the Dursleys wants you dead and unloved?"

"No, I don't, but if you have theories, please tell me!"

"You will find out in time, son… I promise."

~One month later…~

While they were having a snack, Remus asked his boss if they wanted to go there for a week and settle in before going to Hogwarts – to which the Uraharas agreed.

"Would you like to get started on year 2 spells and such for the wizarding world?"

"Sure!" Kyoya replied. "We have the spell books for it; why not?"

"We should pack, son," Kisuke suggested. "Your training for the year 2 spells will come with time."

Ten minutes later, when the Uraharas were done packing, Kisuke declared, "I'll speak with Tessai first, and tell him to take care of the shop while I'm gone for the week. I may want to buy a shop for the Avalon's Soul Reapers to buy soul candies and gigais to help with their missions in the world of the living."

"Good idea, Father!" Kyoya concurred. "Let's go to Remus-san!"

"Ah, there you are," spoke Remus when the Uraharas came to him. "We shouldn't waste any more time. Now, hold onto each other's hands and don't let go until I say so."

Kyoya nodded as he held onto Kisuke's hand, and a few minutes later, Remus instructed, "Okay, you can let go now."

Kyoya looked up to see that they had landed upright and perfectly, right next to the Leaky Cauldron.

"Let's get a couple of rooms here," Remus suggested, leading the Uraharas to the reception desk. "Hi, Tom!"

"Hi, Remus! Long time, no see!"

"Yes, indeed. Two rooms, please? The second room will need two bedrooms."

"For how long?"

"Until September 1st."

"Okay, you will have rooms 14 and 16. Here are your keys… And that will be 2 Galleons, please."

Remus gave Tom the money – and an extra Galleon as a tip. "Keep that extra Galleon, Tom."

A couple of days later, the Uraharas and Remus could be seen walking around Diagon Alley, in a leisurely place, minding their own business… when all of a sudden, they bumped into the Weasleys.

"Remus!" Molly exclaimed. "What a surprise! What are you doing in town?"

"I'm a guide to the small family beside me. They came from Japan."

"How nice of you, dear. Albus is holding a meeting soon to talk about Harry Potter."

Inwardly, Remus flinched. "It's a good thing I'm a werewolf, ergo I have a natural Occulemency shield. I know Albus reads minds with his Legilemens skills. …Oh, how rude of me! I forgot to introduce you guys to my boss! Molly, the one beside me is Kisuke Urahara, and the kid is his son, Kyoya. He got his Hogwarts letter whilst he was in England. Will you introduce yourself to the Uraharas?"

"Of course. Do they speak English?"

"Yes."

Turning her attention to the Uraharas, Molly spoke, "Hi! I'm Molly Weasley. The man beside me is my husband, Arthur. I have 6 sons and one daughter, even if only four of my children are here with me. One of my sons, Charlie, is in Romania working with dragons. My oldest son is working at Gringotts as a curse breaker, and his name is William. My four kids here are Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny." Molly stooped down to Kyoya's eye level and whispered to him, "Be mindful of Fred and George. They are twins that like to play pranks on people."

"Hehe… Okay." Kyoya giggled as Molly stood back up.

"Ron likes to play chess, while Ginny… She's a big fan of Harry Potter."

"It's nice to meet you all, Weasley-san," Kisuke said to Molly. "Say, why don't we all go shopping together?"

"Why, Mr. Urahara, what a good idea! Your son could get along fine with my children. We'd be glad to show you around Diagon Alley, too."

"Great idea! We've only ever been to Japan's magical shopping district. Our country is very relaxed for our laws on magic, pets, and whatnot. Weasley-san-"

"Ah, please call me Molly! Also, call my husband by his first name, too."

~Two hours later~

"So this is Diagon Alley, Mr. Urahara," said Molly. "It was a lot to see in two hours' time, I know… It might be a good time for lunch now. I highly recommend the Three Broomsticks."

"It sounds like a great place!" Kisuke exclaimed as the party made way for thence. "And don't worry about this; it's my treat."

"Oh, we shouldn't impose upon you, Mr. Urahara."

"Nonsense! You aren't imposing upon me at all. It's the least I could do to repay your for showing me and my son around."

"Well, if you insist. All right, kids, Mr. Urahara's offered us lunch at the Three Broomsticks!" Molly spoke, spurring cheers in the Weasley family. Once they arrived thence, the host, Rosemerta, greeted them warmly.

"Hi, all! What can I do for you?"

"A table for nine people, please?"

"Of course, dear! Just a moment." Rosemerta flicked her wand, and two minutes later, their table was set up. "Your menu will pop up in front of your spot that you'll be sitting on. Say what you want, and tap your finger on it afterwards."

And so a joyous conversation and lunch began.

~August 30, back at The Leaky Cauldron~

"We all have to pack today," Remus, who had already finished his own packing, declared. "This is important, because Kyoya's going to Hogwarts tomorrow. We must leave for the Floo Network at 10AM, September 1."

"Okay," Kisuke spoke as with Kyoya by his side, he exited Room 16.

After a few meals and the usual lighthearted conversations that accompanied them, the trio were at the Leaky Cauldron's Floo fireplace the next day.

"Do you know exactly where you want to be?" Remus asked the Uraharas.

"Yes, Remus-san," answered Kisuke. "We will see you there."

With no other words, Kisuke and Kyoya teleported to the King's Cross Station, and after 10AM, Remus had also arrived. "Now we just need to wait on the Weasleys… They should be here any moment…"

When the Weasleys arrived five minutes later, Remus proceeded to give the Uraharas further instructions. "Now, do you remember how to find Platform 9 ¾ ?"

"Yes, we do, Remus-san," replied Kisuke, spurring all to walk towards Platforms 9 and 10. After a quick look-around, the party ran into the wall one-by-one, starting with Kyoya.

"…It's 10:45AM now, Otou-san."

"Well, son, I'll see you for Christmas and the summer, yes?"

"Of course!" Kyoya replied.

"If there's anything wrong with your gigai and soul phone, let me know via a hell butterfly. You remember how to make those?"

"Yes, Father."

"Okay, now hop on the train! I'll see you for Christmas!"

"Bye!" Kyoya spoke as the train began to take off.

"Bye, son!" replied Kisuke as he waved goodbye. After the train was gone, he returned to the main station in London, sighing sadly. "I'll miss my son… Well, Remus, shall we go back home?"

"Yes, boss! Say, Mr. Urahara?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering… Could you turn me into a Soul Reaper, too?"

"Are you sure you'd want to go through something like that?"

"Yes, sir."

"If you're sure, then we can do that back in Japan."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet! You would still have to go through Soul Reaper training, just like Kyoya did."

"Oh, I won't let you down!"

"Excellent! I'll have Tessai and Hachigo train you in Kido, Hakudo, and Zanjutsu. When Kyoya comes back or the year, you'll also have your body as a gigai."\

Back in Japan, Tessai, Ururu, and Jinta cleaned the shop when all of a sudden, Remus and Kisuke popped in.

"Welcome home, Boss and Remus-san," said Tessai.

"Remus-san would like to become a Soul Reaper to help out Kyoya. Can you teach him Kido?"

"Hai!"

"I'll bring a couple of Visoreds out to help as well. Yoruichi can teach him Shunpo and Hakudo, while Shinji can teach him everything else. Is that all right, Remus-san? It will give you a chance to meet new people."

"Yes, of course! I'd love that. Ah, but I just thought of something… Would the Soul Reaper transformation neutralize my werewolf problem?"

"We don't know, but we can find out when the next full moon comes. Well, let's get you to the training room, shall we? Prepare yourself, Remus-san!"

Kisuke proceeded to lift up Benihime, pointing the end of the cane towards Remus, and shot it forward. Looking at Tessai, he spoke, "Make sure he doesn't turn into a Hollow. If he does… You know what to do."

Meanwhile, back in England, Kyoya met the Weasleys on the train and found a compartment. Kyoya closed the door and put a barrier around the compartment. "Thank goodness Hachigo taught me barriers," he thought as the Weasley's were too busy chatting to notice that the barrier had been set up.

Contrary to the relatively lighthearted goings-on in England, Remus was stuck in a deep hole with Tessai, who was prepared for anything. As Kisuke watched from the side, there was a chain attached to Remus' chest, with little mouths eating at it. As soon as they hit the very top of the chain, the "Hollowfication" process started. A white gooey substance surrounded Remus' face, making him scream in pain. To him, this felt very akin to his first werewolf transformation. His heart felt as if it were being ripped to pieces.

Tessai began chanting a Kido spell. "Bakudo number 99! First song, halting fabric, Shokyoku Shiryu, Nigoku Hyakurensen, Shukyoku Bankin Taiho!"

With the Hollowfication almost complete, a heavy block of metal went on top of Remus as soon as Tessai finished speaking the Kido spell. "This is it!" Tessai yelled out to Kisuke.

More white strands of Hollow matter emitted from Remus' whole body, spurring a gust of wind with a yellow ball of reiatsu that surrounded him. A few seconds later, Remus broke free of his bindings.

Meanwhile, as Kyoya and the Weasleys arrived at Hogwarts train station, they heard a voice in the train. "Please leave all trunks and pets on the train; that will be taken care of."

After that, they heard a loud, booming voice that said, "First years, this way, please! Come on out, don't be shy!"

As they came closer to the voice, they saw a tall man – 10 feet, they surmised. He can't be human, Kyoya thought.

"Hello, everyone! My name is Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts." In the middle of his mini-speech, Hagrid spotted a frog. "Who's frog is this?"

"Trevor!" replied a young boy –whom everyone knew as Neville Longbottom.

After a bit of giggling from the rest of the students, Hagrid instructed, "All right, everyone, get in the boats! Only four to a boat, and one person per boat will hold a lamp."

Everyone scrambled to get on the boats, soon riding into the wet and cold night. Hagrid looked at Neville and spoke, "You still got your toad?"

Neville blushed as he nodded.

"You'll be seeing Hogwarts for yer first time coming up around the corner!"
