Hee, there's gonna be a lot up in recent times, because, me being silly, I wrote two parts of this story at once, and now I'm almost done connecting them, so don't be surprised if I put another one up today as well! But the rest... I'll space them out and make you wait. Because I'm EVIL like that.
Disclaimer: Argh. I hate these. I WISH I DID OWN IT!!

Margical Genie: ... or not.
WARNINGS!! A little... worse than usual...
Breakfast that morning brought with it another first, in what many of the fifth year Slytherins and Gryffindors were finding to be a day of firsts. Instead of Gryffindors rigidly sitting with Gryffindors and Slytherins with Slytherins, a large number of Slytherins had found their way over to the Gryffindor table. Namely, the demons everyone knows and loves, and Draco Malfoy, who couldn't seem to leave, even when Hana wasn't holding on to him. He had found himself strangely fascinated by this care-free group from the moment they met, and that feeling had only increased with time. Now it wasn't only Hana and Kurama he found intruiging, he found himself fascinated by all members of the group, the ways they interacted with each other, and, more importantly, the ways they didn't interact… It was like watching a particularly riveting TV series, except you come in half way through, so you don't get all the gags, but can tell something's there. Draco would have used this analogy, but his parents being the pricks they are, he had never seen or even heard of TV shows. Poor Draco, he never got to watch Supernatural, or Naruto, or Kim Possible, or YuYu Hakusho… (yes, I'm being ridiculous. It's fun!). But anyway, Draco was so immersed in watching at just in general hanging out with the group, he managed to ignore the hostile glares of the more rigid Gryffindors. He had never had the chance to be a normal teen and just hang out, so he was enjoying it immensely, and the others had figured this out and realized they could get away with anything. Youko was grinning cheerfully, an arm around the blonde boy's shoulders, and another around Hana's waist. Touya gave him a mildly disdainful look from his spot on Jin's lap.
"Youko, you look like a man with a pair of two-dollar whores." Draco blushed, and tried to duck out from under Youko's arm, but Hana just laughed, sticking her tongue out at Touya.
"As if I would ask for money. At least I'm not in his lap or his pants 24/7, Mr. So-Called Ice Master. Bet if we asked Jin he'd say you were the bitch." Jin grinned cheerfully and shrugged as Touya blushed, and Youko leaned forward, smirking at the ice demon in a not-entirely pleasant way.
"Hey Jin, is Touya one of the good ones or does he just lie there and moan?" Touya blushed darker, and Draco was looking a little unsure of this discussion, but Jin's grin only widened.
"Oh, he's a feisty little wildcat, sure enough he is. But I'd love him even if he wasn't," Jin added loyally, giving Touya a smile and a squeeze. Touya managed to smile a little back, hissing through his teeth probably a little louder than he intended to.
"Jin, please don't do that to me in public! You know…"Here he paused, realizing Youko could hear every word he said, and was grinning. Touya cut himself off, and picked up a croissant from the table and threw it at the fox. "Go away Youko, aren't we in here because you were hungry?" Hana snickered as Youko shrugged, and took a bite out of the croissant.
"Oh, Jin's hungry too… but not for food, if you catch my gist." Karasu sighed, mildly depressed as Kurama was sitting as far away as was demonly possible while still at the same table, and engaged in conversation with Hermione, who was actually as intelligent as he was, though about random different things. When Kurama mentioned he was interested in plants, however, she referred him over to a pasty-faced boy, by the name of Neville. Karasu sighed in deeper depression as Kurama moved still farther away to talk to the boy, then turned and managed a half hearted smile at Youko.
"He hates me, doesn't he." Youko looked over, surprised, and with chipmunk cheeks. Hana laughed and took a picture, and Karasu gave Youko a mildly strange look as he swallowed, and answered.
"Yup. But he's not hating you so much." Karasu thought about this for a second, shrugged, and grinned.
"Good enough for me." Hana laughed, and dived across Draco and Youko to hug Karasu.
"I still love you, 'Rasu-chan!" Youko laughed as well, and cheerfully smacked Hana's ass because she was lying across his legs. Draco looked awkwardly at the girl also stretching across his lap, and cautiously poked her back.
"Uh… Hana?" First time using someone's first name since his father had deemed him old enough for 'correctment'. "Could you move?" Releasing Karasu, Hana turned, and grinned at him, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.
"Of course I could…" She pushed back from Karasu, and sat straddling Draco instead, arms around his shoulders. "Happy now?" Draco cleared his throat, looking if possible, more uncomfortable.
"Uh…" On the other side of the table, Shishi snickered.
"That's the problem." Hana grinned over at him too, subconsciously pulling Draco closer as she turned to give some of the approaching Slytherin girls a curious look. Pansy Parkinson strode over to the table, looking disgustedly at Hana and Shishi.
"What the hell are you doing sat over here? Gryffindor is the enemy!" Suzuka raised an eyebrow at the girl from his seat beside Shishi and Fred Weasley.
"And who are you to tell me who my enemies are?"Pansy gave him a disdainful look.
"Don't even talk to me." It soon became obvious that this was the wrong thing to say, as within seconds, weapons found their way to hands previously empty or clutching food. Down at the other end of the table, Hiei and Kurama looked over at the sudden surge of aggressive energy. Pansy looked rather taken aback at the large and varied arsenal compiled by her fellow Slytherins and Gryffindors alike. There was not a wand in sight, though there were quite a few other creative tools in evidence. Hana alone was currently unarmed, because she was still hugging Draco, and watching Pansy with an expression of amused contempt. Pansy took a few steps away from the table, scared by the death glares and shiny weapons.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?!" Hana gave her a dazzling smile.
"Better than you? Now I think it'd be a good idea if you left. Your scent is unsavory, and it has an adverse effect on our responses." Pansy was now confused, as were several other members of the group, both demon and human. Youko, however, merely smiled affectionately at Hana, putting away his tree.
"Getting around that time again, Hana?" Hana shrugged, managing to shift Draco even closer to her with the motion.
"Unfortunately, it is. And I do not believe it would be appreciated if I sought out my regular source of sustenance, as he is still adversely affected by the previous two occurrences. In addition, I happen to believe that a few more days and I will revert to my more primordial state, which is what we experts call a BAD THING!" The people who hadn't witnessed Hana's change during her vampire state gave her strange looks, but Shishi looked skeptical.
"Why didn't you have symptoms last night? Doesn't it usually affect you more at night anyway?" Hana shrugged, but Youko frowned thoughtfully.
"Well, she was floating about 7 feet off the ground…" Shishi gave him a flat look.
"She does that anyway." Hana shrugged, floating 8 feet off the ground, just because. Youko glanced up, and shrugged.
"Point." Karasu looked disinterested, scanning the table for good food.
"Yeah, but does she usually glow?" Shishi and Youko exchanged looks, and shrugged.
"Okay." Pansy, tired of being ignored, and utterly freaked out that Hana was floating 8 feet in the air, playing with a bunch of flowers, turned and stormed away. Draco, vaguely relieved that Hana wasn't molesting him anymore, and a little disappointed, cleared his throat.
"Uh, breakfast will be over soon. What classes do you guys have?" Kurama, who had returned with Hiei after everyone got bored of threatening Pansy, looked worried, searching his pockets for his schedule. They all had the same one, of course, so the others figured, why bother carrying theirs, when Kurama was sure to have either memorized his, or carry it everywhere. Touya frowned pensively, leaning back against Jin.
"More importantly, where are our classes? This castle is huge, and the stairs have an odd habit of moving." The others realized he was right, and as Kurama and Touya tried to puzzle it out with Suzuka, Hiei, Shishi and Youko turned to Draco, looking expectant. Draco caught their expressions and frowned.
"Uh, sorry guys, I can't help, I have my own classes…" Shishi snorted, getting to his feet and turning towards the teacher's table.
"Whatever. This guy brought us here, so he can at least give us a guide for the freakin' place." Hana nodded in cheerful agreement, her feet touching the ground again as she turned to follow Shishi.
"Yeah. Oh wait, I almost forgot…" She spun around, walking up behind Touya and Jin to drop her necklace of flowers around Touya's neck while screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'VE BEEN 'LAY'ED!"
Hee, that's an old joke but I still love it. In case someone didn't get it, Hana put a Hawaiian 'lay' (however it's spelt) on Touya. I'm sure everyone knows this, and has done it before, but still.
