Strangers in Hogwarts

Chapter 1.2 School will soon Begin

(Author's note: This chapter happens at the same time as chapter 1.1)

In the London Airport.......

"What a dizzy ride! That's why I never like traveling."

"But now we're in London! Don't you feel any excitement, Umi-chan?"

"Have you been tired in your life? Hikaru......"

"Well, Hikaru-san, Umi-san, did you see Kudo-san and Mouri-san? We suppose to arrive at King's Cross Station before 11:00 am......."

"We still have one more hour to go...Ah! There they come!"

The conversation above was between three girls: the short, cute redhead was Hikaru Shidou. She's very hyper and has a never-use-up energy.

And Umi Ryuuzaki was standing next to Hikaru. She looked like a model: very tall, slim and a long, sapphire hair. She seemed to be an elegant lady, but actually, she's quite bitchy.

Last, but not least, the always-polite Fuu Hououji. Her short, blond hair suited her perfectly, despite her all-too-big glasses.

Well, it's time to get back to our story.

Hikaru waved at two running figures. They're first identified to be two young and tall people, then a man plus a woman, at last, the "Kudo" and "Mouri" that the girls were talking about.

"Sorry guys, there's too many people quelling up. It took a lot of time in order to pay." The young man held a map. "Let see...the King's Cross Station......we can catch a bus and reach there in about 30 minutes. Better get going now." He said and got his luggage.

"Aren't you supposed to meet the people from the Ministry of Magic here?" Hikaru asked.

"Yep. But I don't think Ran could get to Hogwarts there herself. I have to escort her safety to the Hogwarts Express or else I'll be slaughtered by her father......"

"Shinichi! That isn't some kind of jokes that you can laugh about!" The young woman who had been addressed as Ran by the young man (who probably called Shinichi) shouted angrily. "And do you just connote I'm not good at direction?!"

"Hey!"

Hikaru, Umi and Fuu watched the couple argue, speechless. The trio had known them long enough to know it they didn't stop them soon, they would be late for the train for sure.

"Eh...Kudo-san, Mouri-san, I afraid that we may be late if we don't go..."

The two stopped their "fun love game" (as Umi put it) and looked at the speaker, "you're right, Fuu." Ran blushed a bit and Shinichi scratched the back of his head.

"Okay, since our famous lovebirds had quiet down, let's go!" Umi teased them playfully and walked away from them, leaving a confused Hikaru, a sweat-dropping Fuu, the blushing Ran and Shinichi behind.

The bus trip to the King's Cross Station was quite peaceful. No irritating teasing, no noisy arguing. Also, they managed to arrive at Platform 9 3/4 15minutes before the train leave.

"Mission completed!" Shinichi joked as he saw Umi and Ran hanged out of the window. "Be careful, and remember to send your letter. I don't want to get a howler from your parents."

"Alright, alright! Go back now, Mister member-of-Magical-Law-Enforcement-Squad!" Ran pinched him, and they heard a noise, then the train moved.

Ten minutes later......

Umi looked at Ran, who keeps stared out of the window since the train left the station, and lost in thought. She looked the older girl's daydreaming look, and decided to play (tricks). "Ran, do you hear me?"

Ran didn't move a bit. Then Umi scanned the carriage, discovered that there's no other people besides them. She winked at Hikaru and Fuu. They nodded as they took her silent massage: cover your ears unless you want a headache.

"RAN! ANYBODY HOME?!" Umi screamed at top of her lungs.

Ran jumped to the ceiling and make a hole......Sorry, I'm joking. ^_

After Umi's horrible yelling, Ran turned to face her as nothing big had happened, smiling and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing! I just want to 'wake' you up from your dream-world." Umi gave her the trademark sly grin, "mind telling me what you're dreaming about?"

Ran's face redden in a second, "nothing......" But since her red face had betrayed her, our gossip-loving Umi would not be satisfied by this lie, "Really?" She sighed, "I thought you're thinking about 'him'..."

"Who said I'm thinking about Shinichi!" Ran blushed. Her face was almost as red as Hikaru's hair.

"I haven't mentioned his name, have I?" Umi's grin became wider. "Actually, what's your relationship with him?"

Ran felt her heart skipped a beat and started to giggle nervously. Just then four kids appeared from another carriage--3 girls and 1 boy to be exact. One of them has short, brown hair, with green eyes like Fuu. The other two girls had long black hair. But one of them had tied her hair into a Sailormoon style; one of them just let her flow freely, she's holding something like a muggle video camera. The only boy in the gang had dark brown hair; his face was blushing furiously.

The brown-hair girl was delighted when she saw someone she knew besides those who're next to her, and ran to meet her, "Ran-neechan!"

Ran 'escaped' from Umi's 'trial' and smiled at the girl, "Sakura? What's the last time I saw you?"

"Ran-san, she's you friend?" Hikaru stopped her chat with Fuu, and looked at the girl.

"Her brother and I were in the school's Karate team when we're in Junior High. And she's Sakura Kinomoto."

"Nice to meet you." Sakura said in a cheerful voice. "These are my classmates before we decided to study in Hogwarts. She's Tomoyo Daidouji." The girl with a Video Camera bowed. "Li Syaoran, " then she pointed at the brown hair boy, "and Li Meiling," lastly, the Usagi-look-alike girl.

Ran introduced Hikaru, Umi and Fuu to them, and knew that they're first years at Hogwarts. They chatted until the train arrived at the platform. Lucky for Ran, Umi didn't talk about the 'relationship problem since Sakura and her friends' arrival. Because she didn't want any people found out Shinichi Kudo is her fiancé.

Author's note from Jackie:

My neck was soooo sore! A crossover really took time to write.
Anyway, a chapter is a chapter, Yaaaaaaaayyy!!!!!!
Some of my dear pre-readers asked why I put the last sentence.
Because of a certain noisy and bitchy and violent pre-reader had forced me to do so...
(Glared at Carman who's reading Strangers in Hogwarts, ch. 2)

So, that's all for now, please send us comments! Bye~~
