Tasukete!
(a.k.a. Pebbles and Tsuki go to Hogwarts)
By Pebbles (Tennyo Yurika Kei) and TsukinoDeynatsu (Tamashii Tsukino Deynatsu)
Warning: This story is littered with Japanese phrases. There will be a section at the end of each chapter with the translations.
Authors' Notes:
Firstly - Harry Potter belongs to neither Pebbles nor Tsuki. This story was written for 3 main reasons - 1) for the hell of it, 2) We like Harry Potter! and 3) to see what would happen to Malfoy if Tsuki went to Hogwarts (Tsuki: Run and hide, cherub..... Oh, isn't he just the cutest!! *eyes glint evilly*)
Secondly, uhm, is there a secondly? Yeah! This is our first Harry Potter fanfiction so some of the characters may be a little OOC (Tsuki: Malfoy will be ALOT OOC.. At least when I'm through with him. ^_^)(Pebbles: Oh God... If you really do exist, help him now.)(Tsuki: DON'T RUIN MY FUN, KEI-CHAN! ;_; *sulks*) and don't be too hard on us!
Chapter Three - What's With The Quiet One?
(a.k.a. TsukiCan'tFindTheJapaneseForThis =P)
Yawning, Harry sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked around the dormitory. Blinking momentarily, he shook his head and blinked again before leaping from his bed and rushing to Ron's side, quickly shaking him awake.
"nnnng.... What'ya do tha...." he paused for a moment. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL HAPPENED HERE!?!"
Ron was suddenly wide awake (and very shocked), staring around at the walls with big eyes. Soon enough, other cries of surprise sounded from Dean's, Seamus' and Neville's beds respectively as they awoke and took in their surroundings.
Suddenly, a flash of bright blue light appeared in the middle of the dormitory and all five boys were forced to shield their eyes. It faded away in a second and all five boys were once again forced to react, turning their expressions from surprised to shocked and back again in the same amount of time.
Yurika Kei Tennyo happened to be standing were the light had been, wearing Hogwarts robes and a very tired expression. She sighed as she took a look at her surroundings, then turned and walked up to the nearest person, Neville.
"anou... Have you have seen Tsuki-chan?"
Neville jumped at the sound of her voice and scuttled off to hide underneath his bed, trembling as if the girl was a ghost - okay, maybe not, he's used to ghosts, so.. trembling as if the girl was an exam administrator.
"P... Please d-don'thurtme!" He stuttered out, covering his eyes in a fashion that reminded Ron of Dudley when the Weasleys came to pick him up last year.
Yurika blinked, unimpressed, and turned to Harry. "Have you -"
"Nope, sorry," he cut her off, snapping out of his socked stupor and back to reality.
Yurika sighed again. "Oh, alright then... Thanks anyway," she said, slowly turning in a full circle, surveying the walls and glowing a faint blue light.
Just as the light began to engulf her, Ron's voice broke her thoughts. "Oi, how did you get here, anyway?"
Yurika stopped glowing and blinked again, but just as she opened her mouth to answer a flash of white light cute her off and her face turned blue. "Ack!"
Yurika had found herself very suddenly being glomped as the happy cry of "Kei-chan!" resounded throughout the room. The world's *cough* favourite *cough* morning person had arrived.
Harry was starting to feel sorry for the girl and Dean, Seamus and Neville really didn't know what to think about the strange girls who had visited without knocking. Ron was just glad it wasn't him and all five stared intently at the newcomer.
Tsukino was, as always, completely oblivious to the strange looks she was getting and continued on as normal. "Nee, Kei-no-onee-chan, what do you think? Kirei da ne?"
Yurika sighed, smiling slightly as she once again took in the neon pink walls and fiddled with one of the silver hearts that were dangling from the the ceiling at random intervals. Turning back to Tsukino, she sighed again and thought fast. "Well, I don't really think the borders appreciate your work, Tsuki-chan," she said airily, waving a hand in the boys' general direction.
"mou, Kei-chan!" Tsukino pouted. "deeeeemooo, kirei da ne?"
Yurika sighed again for a moment and contemplated her answer. After a moment, however, her face broke into a (rather evil and disturbing) grin.
**********
Sorry, did we say rather evil and disturbing? Well, we meant... uhm... we don't really have a word to describe it, so we'll just tell you what happened.
Neville scuttled back underneath his bed, accompanied by Seamus and Dean - there must've been alot of room under there. There didn't seem to be enough for Ron and Harry, however, because they both sat on Ron's bed and pulled the hangings shut, obscuring them from view - actually, they could've just needed some privacy, so maybe that doesn't count.
Tsukino, naturally, was completely unaffected and continued smiling enthusiastically.
Got the picture yet? Good, let's continue.
**********
"I know it's beautiful, Tsuki-chan," Yurika said slowly, "but wouldn't it look much prettier on nee-chan?"
Tsukino's pondered the possibilities for a second before her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands loudly. "WAI!!!!!"
Peering between the drapes, Ron had a good look at Tsukino's bubbly, squeaky, sparkly, starry eyes before she disappeared in a flash of white.
**********
For the first time in his life, Ron found himself feeling sorry for Malfoy.
Then again, maybe not that sorry.
**********
Yurika took one last look at the decor before walking over to Neville. Drawing a small piece of parchment from her pocket, she bent down and pressed it into his hand. "That's the spell to remove the current decor, Neville. Just follow the instructions, okay?"
Neville nodded dubiously and raised his wand.
After watching the florescent fire spreading across the walls for a second, Yurika decided to cast the spell herself. Sighing, she clapped her hands and the room was instantly returned to normal.
Neville perked up and dislodged himself from underneath the bed (from Seamus and Dean?). "Can you teach me that?" He asked, showing a rare display of enthusiasm.
Basing her judgement on the previous demonstration of Neville's magical prowess, Yurika decided to do the right thing - lie. "It's a miko thing."
Neville looked crestfallen, and Yurika softened a little. "I don't really have time, anyway - Daddy's Boy probably needs my help, ne?" 'And I don't want to miss watching it, either..' she thought, teleporting out and leaving everybody else to try and process her words.
The Fifth Year Gryffindor boys got dressed in record time and practically ran to the Great Hall. When questioned about their eagerness, they merely replied "Pretty Onee-chan!" and ran faster.
Many students were confused that morning.
**********
Hermione's breakfast was rather like the day before - strange. She couldn't help noticing the differences though - the day beforehand, Malfoy had not entered the hall looking like a can of florescant pink paint had been emptied over his head. Nor had he been wearing what looked like rather large silver heart stickers.
If she had any questions about his strange appearance, they were answered almost immediately whence Tsukino made her appearance. Actually, Tsukino's appearance wasn't that hard to miss, considering she'd ran in chasing Malfoy with a can of paint yelling "matte yo, onee-chan!!!!! I'm not finished yet!!" She also seemed to have what looked like a make-up kit under one arm.
Malfoy was, naturally, not pleased.
Yurika entered the hall not long after, closely followed by Harry and Ron. She made her way over to the Slytherin table and sat down, oblivious to the goings on behind her. Every so often she'd yell something out to Tsukino in Japanese, but nobody was quite sure if she was egging her on or telling her to stop, so nobody really paid much attention, leaving Yurika to eat in peace.
Harry and Ron, however, were enjoying this little scenario and paid no attention to Hermione's attempts to engage them in conversation. Finally, after throwing the salt and pepper at them, they woke up somewhat and began to tell her about the morning's events.
"They're bloody weird, those two," Ron said between bites of sausage.
"But at least the quiet one seems sane," Harry pointed out.
Hermione glanced over towards the Slytherin table, where Yurika sat, eating her breakfast as if the little 'scene' going on between Malfoy and Tsukino ("I DON'T WANT TO WEAR LIPSTICK, DAMMIT!!" "demo demo demo onee-chaaaaan!!!!!! It'll look sooooo pretty! Look, it's even the same colour as your eyeshadow!!!") happened everyday. "I dunno, it seems like she's used to this... Do you thi-"
Ron cut in with, "Yeah, she came with Tsukino, remember?" Harry nodded.
"She can't be too sane when she hangs around with that thing."
"Aw, I think she's cool," Ron jumped as Fred leaned over his shoulder. "A little weird maybe, but cool," he said, deftly nicking his sausage and returning to his seat.
"Oi!!! That was mine!!!"
Fred grinned. "I know."
Sighing, Ron returned to the conversation. "Do you think Yuri-"
"Do you mind if I sit here? It's kinda noisy over there..." Ron, Harry and Hermione nearly jumped out of their skins as Yurika sat next to Hermione. "itadakimasu."
Naturally, the conversation ended and they ate in silence.
**********
"Care of Magical Creatures is up first... God, we're with the Slytherins again!" Harry sighed and he, Ron and Hermione began to make their way across the lawns, accompanied by Parvati Patil and Seamus Finnigan, who had caught up with them in the Entrance Hall.
"It's not too bad anymore, I'm sorta getting used to them being bitchy all the time," Parvati said.
Hermione shook her head. "I've got a feeling that this lesson might be a little different."
Ron blinked. "Why?"
Hermione just pointed to two figures half-walking half-running up ahead, and muttered the words "Can't you hear her?" under her breath. All 5 Gryffindors became silent, each trying to make out the two figures up ahead.
"Cho-cho-cho-chotto onee-chan!!! anta wa hontou hidoi!!!!!! matte kudasai, onee-chan, ONEEEEEE-CHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!" Everybody blinked. As it turned out, Malfoy seemed to be ignoring whatever it was Tsukino was saying and running faster, causing her to run faster to catch up. Being laden with two bags, Tsukino was finding this difficult.
Ron blinked again as Tsukino ran into a tree and the air filled with words that sounded very much like Japanese curses. "What's she saying?"
"Shit, I hate you sister, you're very mean and don't ever talk to me again idiotic bastard." Everybody spun around, only to come face to face with 'The Quiet One' and jump a mile again. Yurika just shook her head. "She doesn't seem to get it, if she wants him to wait for her she's gotta at least use a Full Body Bind on him."
Hermione blinked. "Does she know how?"
Yurika smiled grimly, as if remembering a rather nasty occurance. "Yes, she knows.. She just doesn't do it very often." She watched Tsukino for a moment before turning back to Hermione. "Class is starting."
Hermione jumped as Hagrid's voice boomed out behind her, "Come on, 'urry up, got ta get yer to class now, got a new creature to show yers, 'urry up now..."
Yurika pushed her way through the Gryffindor group and walked over to Tsukino, taking both of the bags off her and walking on to the class, leaving her sitting on the ground in a very un-ladylike fashion spouting words of a very... un-ladylike language (not like anyone could understand them).
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Parvati and Seamus just gaped after her.
Hagrid looked up and spotted them, giving them a cheery wave and grin. "'urry up then, yer dont want ta miss out on this.. Got yer new Blast-Ended Flobberworms-" he was cut off at this point by a rather strong stranglehold on his neck that seemed to be an attempted glomp.
The glomper decided not to acknowledge the fact that her teacher's face was slowly turning blue, or the fact that her feet were dangling several feet off the ground and cried "THOSE SOUND SOOOOO KAWAIIIIII!!!!!!! I WANNA SEEEEEEEEEEE CAN I SEE THEEEEEEEEEM SENSSEEEEEEEEEIIIII-CHAAAAAAN PLEEEAASSSSSE PLEEEEEEASSSSSEEE PLEAAAAAASEE?!?!"
All Sensei-chan could manage to get out was some sort of choking sound. The rest of the class just stared, amazed that one so..... short.. could manage to firmly attach herself to the neck of one so... not short. Of course, the fact that glomping half-giants just WASN'T a very common occurance could've helped with the shock factor too.
Harry had a vague thought about helping Hagrid in the far corner of his mind, but dismissed it quickly and resumed staring dumbly. Hermione snapped out of the stupor after a few minutes and considered putting the miko under a Full Body Bind, but decided against it once her sense of self-preservation decided to kick in.
Yurika sat down calmly on the fence and pulled out her notebook, muttering something about stupid daddy's boys that can't be bothered to distract hyper girls that she was meant to control.
Thus, Hagrid soon met with the floor, Madam Pomfrey was left to wonder what could possibly have disabled his ability to breathe for so long, the class didn't get to see the Blast-Ended Flobberworms and Tsukino was quite confused, as demonstrated by her lunchtime conversation with Fred and George at the Gryffindor table.
"Mou, why did Sensei-chan turn blue?? The only person who turns blue is onee-chan, and he doesn't do it when I touch him! If he wants to be like onee-chan, he's meant to turn blue when I'm anywhere near him and turn green when I glomp him!! Doesn't he know the rules? He's NOT meant to hit the floor either!!!!!! It's SOOOOOOO unfair because he never showed us those kawaii thingies and mouuuuuuuuuuu I wanna see Onee-chan!!!"
**********
Yurika, however, did not have the pleasure of listening in on this uhm... delightfully intelligent conversation, due to the small fact that she was in a detention with Ron and Harry. Potions had been the lesson beforehand, and Ron and Harry had recieved detention for..... well, she couldn't really see a reason, Snape just really seemed to hate Harry. In fact, from what she could make out, he was loathing Harry. Ron was just there.
Yurika had been confined to the dungeons that lunchtime for being a smart-ass.
Oh yeah, and she kinda set her desk on fire due to the lack of English herb names in her English Japanese dictionary. Even though Snape had called it a lack of intelligence, she had merely shrugged off the comment and pretended not to understand a word of English, giving him a blank look and supporting his theory all the more.
Oh, Hermione had also been given detention for sharing her cauldron with Yurika and showing her which herb was which. Snape appeared and gave Hermione a detention and took 50 points from Gryffindor before seperating them, thus causing the aforementioned desk fire.
Of course, by now, Snape absolutely loved Yurika. Almost as much as that Potter boy, and maybe a little more than the other new girl. Of course, his love was helped along by her not turning up to detention the night before, and also her commenting on his not taking points from Slytherin when her 'crime' clearly deserved more punishment than that of Hermione's.
Of course, locking himself in a dungeon with 4 of his most hated people - Harry, Ron, Hermione and Yurika - was not the most intelligent thing to do. Sure, Harry, Ron and Hermione went about the menial chores with a sort of resigned 'I'm-going-to-bitch-just-loud-enough-for-you-to-hear' attitude, but Yurika... Well, she did her chores without a word. That was, until he spoke to her.
Snape ran his white-gloved finger over a cauldron before lifting it and inspecting it. Finding a few grains of dust on it, he turned to her and said in an accusing tone, "You call that clean? My grandmother can do a better job than you! There's still dust on this cauldron!"
Yurika blinked at him for a moment before clapping her hand. A blue flash filled the room and when it faded every cauldron in the room - including Harry, Ron and Hermione's - were sparkling clean. "Can your grandmother do that Snape-sensei?" She said quietly without looking at him, bending down to pick up her things and walking towards the door.
"W-where do you think you're going young lady!? Get back here!"
Yurika paused for a moment but didn't turn around. After a moment of silence, she replied in a quiet, uninterested tone; "You said that when we finished cleaning the cauldrons we could leave, Snape-sensei. You said not to use magic, but miko powers are not magic. You aren't going to go back on your word, are you?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione had a good view of her face and said face seemed to be fighting to remain neutral, un-accounted for laughter evident in her eyes. Snape's face, however, was a picture of shock, his eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging open.
Another minute of silence passed and the air was filled with tension. "If he doesn't shut his mouth soon, he's gonna actually start catching the flies he attracts," Ron whispered to his friends.
Unfortunately, a whisper is extremely loud in a room where not a sound can be heard, and Snape turn a bright red and shut his mouth with a snap. Yurika smirked and left the room, leaving a last challenge as she parted, "Snape-sensei, you may like to know, I actually am very intelligent. I just suffer from selective usage of the language. People who try to proove this generally end up completely humiliated, so I suggest you drop it... Unless you think pink would suit you as a hair colour, that is."
Snape forgot the flies and let his mouth hang open again as she left the room, staring dumbly after her. Harry looked from him to his friends, then, feeling his sense of self-preservation kick in, he decided to pack up rather quickly and make friends with this Enemy of Snape.
Hermione and Ron seemed to have the exact same sense, thus all 3 grabbed their bags and belted out of the classroom, barely hearing Snape's yells of "Get back here!" as he came back to his (rather non-existent) senses.
**********
It didn't really take them long to find Yurika as it turned out, due mostly to the fact that she was leaning against the wall next to the Dungeon Entrance in stitches. Harry, Ron and Hermione shut the dungeon door and, regardless of the strange looks they recieved, doubled up as well.
From that day on, Yurika was an official part of the 'group', much to the Slytherin's (especially Malfoy's) chagrin. There are some things you can't go through together and not be friends, and humiliating Snape was one of them.
Nevermind humiliating Snape and living to tell the tale.
Which, by the way, they did - by the end of the lunchtime the entire school knew, which was quite an amazing feat considering there was only 5 minutes left - well, maybe not quite so amazing considering that as soon as Tsukino heard it she just had to stand up on the table and recount the tale in the loudest possible voice - and, from then on, Peeves took to following Snape around with a fly-swatter and pink hair potion.
Naturally, the braver students joined in on the fun. Even the staff - including, in fact, especially Professor McGonagall - seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere.
All in all, Snape just loved Japan and smart-assed mikos, and vowed revenge.
**********
After lunch the Gryffindors had double divination and the Slytherins had double transfiguration.
Of course, Yurika and Tsukino had attended neither for the first half hour or so, spending the time instead in Dumbledore's office. Yurika was sitting quietly in one of the chairs against the back wall, glaring at Tsukino. If she *hadn't* threatened the hat they wouldn't have to be here!
Tsukino, of course, was oblivious to this and was currently hugging Fawkes the Pheonix, dubbing him a 'kawaii kotori' and singing 'Breeze' to him.
Dumbledore was oblivious to both, sitting at his new desk and writing several letters, adding each one to a pile at his right and leaving the girls to their game of 'I'll stare and you'll ignore me!'.
Finally, he placed the last letter on top of the pile and turned to the girls, sighing as he took in their 'game'. After watching the monotony for a moment, he cleared his throat. "Ahem.."
Yurika stood up quickly, shooting Tsukino a last glare. Tsukino ignored both attempts - the first being the 'ahem', presumably designed to attract her attention, the second being a glare presumably designed to threaten her into behaving - and continued singing to Fawkes.
"Tsukino-chan, please pay attention," Dumbledore said quietly.
"ah!" Tsukino put Fawkes back and spun around smartly, bowing as she faced him. "Hai!"
Dumbledore placed a hand on the stack of letters behind him. "Each one of these is addressed to each of your teachers - you each have a letter for every teacher you may encounter. This will enable you to attend the right lessons. Instead of going to the lessons printed on your timetables, turn up at his lessons and hand these notes to the teachers. Got it?"
Yurika and Tsukino nodded. "Hai!!"
He smiled. "Good," he said, lifting up a thick stack of parchment envelopes and handing one to each. Somehow both Yurika AND Tsukino managed to fit the stacks in their pockets and smooth down their robes/kimonos respectively so not a lump showed.
Dumbledore nodded in approval before picking up two extra envelopes, one with the words 'Tennyo Yurika Kei' written in kanji and one with 'Tamashii Tsukino Deynatsu' written in kanji and kana. Upon handing these to their respective recepients, his expression once more turned serious. "You both know what you're here for - no more messing about, got it? Just get close to him - NOT LIKE THAT!" He added, upon seeing their horrified looks. "Listen, I have a bad feeling about this year, which is exactly why you're both here. I'm going to be away for most of it, so I need you two to keep your eyes and ears open - ESP could come in handy as well." Both girls nodded and he turned to Tsukino. "You've made this alot more complicated than it need be, but I guess it'll work out in the end..." She grinned at him.
"subete wa kitto daijoubu naru yo!"
He nodded wearily. "hai, hai. HARI- POTTA- no soba ni ite - itsumademo. wakatte'ru?" They nodded again. "ima, yuke."
Grabbing their bags, both girls teleported out and Dumbledore sighed again. It was gonna be a long year... but at least his Japanese might improve.
**********
"Wai!!! Ron-kun!!" Said Ron-kun was immediately glomped upon Tsukino's entrance to the divination room. While Tsukino set about glomping every person in the room Yurika calmy fished through her pockets for the envelope addressed to Proffessor Trelawney. Upon pulling out the right one, she walked up to Tsukino - who was busy glomping Harry extra-tightly under the pretence of following 'Doru-sama's' orders - and fished through her pockets, pulling out Tsukino's letter as well.
Of course, this was really quite an amazing feat, considering neither uniform had pockets.
Yurika walked calmly up to Proffessor Trelawney's armchair and handed her the two letters, ignoring the looks of disbelief and 'please-save-me' coming from her classmates. She waited patiently while Proffessor Trelawney read the letters, watching her expression change from one of shock to complete and utter disbelief.
Proffessor Trelawney looked from the letters in her hand to Yurika, who was still standing patiently beside her chair, to Tsukino, who had successfully glomped the back half of the room and was steadily making her way around Seamus' table, and back again, to Yurika, Tsukino, letters, Yurika, Tsukino, letters, her eyes growing even bigger with each circuit. Finally, her eyes rested on Yurika and she managed to choke out "You mean.. You and... and.. HER are the ones Dumbledore sent for!!??? You and That Thing are mikos?! You're the ones who are meant to- gack!"
The proffessor was cut off by a well-timed glomp from Tsukino, who immediately began chanting "Ookii-me-san! Where do we sit, Ookii-me-san!? Ne, nee?! Dokoka?" (She continued on like this for awhile, so we won't bother telling you the rest. You're not missing anything *cough*).
Trelawney managed to choke out the word "Anywhere" while shooting Yurika desperate looks of either 'please help me' or 'please shoot me', it was kinda hard to tell, what with half her face being covered by glasses and the other half Tsukino's arms. Yurika watched amused for a moment before prying Tsukino off their teacher and dragging her by the arm to Ron and Harry's table, shoving her down on the pouffe next to Ron and taking the one next to Harry for herself.
Ron immediately began moving his pouffe towards Harry and Yurika. Tsukino, for once, wasn't completely oblivious and was loving it. She smiled sweetly at him for a second, before making the smile a little *too* cute and sweet and innocent for anybody's liking and the muffled sound of pouffes moving across carpeted floor filled the air.
Yurika sighed and stood up to address the class. "Konnichiwa, minna-san." After casting a quick glance at Tsukino, she continued. "Don't worry about her, she's completely harmless once she's said hi... uhm, once she's calmed down," there was a collective cough. "Look, just stop being so scared of a 15 year old girl and sit down! Mou.." Yurika sat back down and glared at Tsukino, who, upon taking the hint, sobered immediately.
Harry blinked. Yurika had just reminded him of someone.. Either his aunt or Hermione, he wasn't quite sure... Either way, he wasn't about to mess with her and joined the rest of the room in complying with her orders.
Naturally, by this time there was only ten minutes of the lesson left, and neither Yurika nor Tsukino found them very interesting. Tsukino was sorely missing her onee-chan and loudly let it be known every two seconds, while Yurika was getting bored of having Harry's death being predicted every five seconds. She was sure that wasn't a Grim in his crystal ball - it looked more like a poodle. Or maybe a chihuahua? It'd have to be a long-haired chihuahua with a pom-pom on it's tail, but it could be...
"My dear, your own future seems rather.. short," Proffessor Trelawney remarked, glancing quickly at Tsukino before turning back to Yurika's ball. "It seems to be... stress-related. You will have a very gruesome death, my dear, do be prepared..."
Yurika decided to play along and pretended to be scared and fascinated by the ball's... clarity. "I can see a bolt of lightening!! I'm not going to be struck by lightening, am I?" Trelawney just nodded.
"You must be very brave and gifted - not only can you accept your death, you can see the circumstances!" And with that she swept off to return to her favourite hobby - reminding Harry of how gruesome his end was going to be.
Eventually, Harry got sick of this and decided to take a gamble. "You know, Proffessor, Tsukino's very accident-prone... Will she be okay?" He'd barely finished the sentence before she'd swept off to stand behind Tsukino, who was focusing so hard on the crystal ball little beads of sweat were appearing on her forehead and running down her cheeks.
"My dear, you musn't punish yourself so... If you do not have the sight, do not force it," Professor Trelawney gently rested a hand on Tsukino's shoulder. Tsukino payed no attention and continued to focus all her energy on the ball. The Proffessor sighed. "Well, let's see what you've got here.. oh, that's definately not good..."
Yurika was engrossed in conversation with Harry and Ron when she suddenly froze. Harry looked at her worriedly, wondering what could cause her to freeze mid-sentance like that.
"Yurika? Are you okay?" Ron asked, leaning over and gently shaking her arm.
Yurika shook her head slightly, but continued staring into space. "sono chikara wo... that power is..." Completely ignoring Ron and Harry she glanced across the table. Proffessor Trelawney was still babbling about Tsukino's death and many injuries while Tsukino ignored her, focusing intently on the ball... and giving off an incredibly strong power signal.
"chikushou!" Yurika grabbed Ron and Harry's heads and forced them underneath the table.
A moment later, a sound like a gunshot reverberated throughout the room, followed by what sounded like glass rain falling and a cry of "Yatta!!!!!"
Harry and Ron nervously lifted their heads to see that Tsukino had not only managed to smash her ball, but every crystal ball in the room. The shards were currently falling gently from the ceiling and several students - the dumber ones who hadn't seen Yurika hide - had cut faces and arms. Proffessor Trelawney was in shock. Yurika nonchalently packed her bag and edged towards the trapdoor before Tsukino could spot her. She was out of luck.
"hora, Kei-chan!!!!! Isn't it pretty?!"

Japanese Phrases / Words
kirei da ne? = Beautiful, isn't it?mou = jeez, actually means 'already / yet / anymore' but used in an exclamation as 'jeez'
demo = but
matte = wait
yo = Exclametary particle. Much like 'le' in Chinese. Ignore it or replace with ! =P
chotto onee-chan! anta wa hontou hidoi! matte kudasai = Hang on onee-chan! You really are MEAN!! Please wait!
kawaii = cute!
sensei = teacher, instead of addressing their teachers as Mr. Teacher or Teacher-san, they address them as Teacher-sensei. kotori = small bird. So kawaii kotori would be roughly like saying 'who's a cute little birdie?'
Breeze = This is the opening song for Slayers TRY. Gorgeous song, most of the lyrics are about wanting to become a bird - the first two lines translate to "I want to become a bird and fly in the vast skies, Aiming for a far off, distant hope".
kanji - kanji/kana = kanji is the ideographic (Chinese characters) used for Japanese writing. Because Yurika's name is completely Japanese, it can be written in Kanji. Deynatsu is NOT a Japanese word, and thus one of the phonetic scripts - katakana - would have to be used. Tamashii also requires the use of a phonetic - hiragana - to write as well as a kanji.
subete wa kitto daijoubu naru yo = Everything will surely be okay.
HARI- POTTA- = How the Japanese say / pronounce Harry Potter :D
HARI- POTTA- no soba ni ite - itsumademo = Stay near Harry Potter - Always
ima, yuke = Now, go.
-kun = Much like -chan, but can indicate less affection and for boys. It's seen derogatory to be addressed as '-chan' for some boys.
ookii-me = Literally 'Huge-Eyes'
dokoka = Where?
sono chikara wo = That power is..
chikushou! = Shit!
hora = Hey / Look!
