[A/N: I'd like to thank the wonderful Abbess for creating Mahi. Thankies,
Risu! XD]
It looked as if the ghost was about to push Kitsune off the tower when another girl approached them. "Back, ghost!" she warned, her wand inches away from the ghost's chest. "I know a freezing spell that will make you wish you were alive again."
The ghost turned and floated back down the vent with a scowl on its face. The other fourth years stood far from the spot, not wanting to be involved. A small smile appeared on Kitsune's face then disappeared. "Thanks," she murmured.
"It's-It's no problem," the girl said. She had raven black hair and brown eyes. "I am Mahi Trukineh. I am an exchange student from Japan."
"And I'm Kitsune Baka," Kitsune said, still awestruck that someone would try and save her life. "Why-Why'd you that?"
"You looked scared," Mahi confided. "So I helped you."
"But no one's ever helped me before, except for Dumbledore," Kitsune replied.
"Well there's always room for change," Mahi said as a cool breeze blew her hair across her face.
Kitsune smiled, and let the smile stay there.
That night, they discussed many things; Japan, her old school, everything.
By morning the next day, Mahi knew everything about Kitsune and Kitsune knew everything about Mahi. Kitsune even had another bed set up in her private bedroom for Mahi to sleep in.
After breakfast, Mahi agreed to visit Dumbledore with Kitsune. "That ghost that you scared away knocked him out yesterday afternoon," Kitsune explained. "I think it wants Dumbledore to close Hogwarts."
Mahi digested this information slowly. "There are tales about ghosts like that in Japan," she replied. "Bad people awaken their spirits and request a task for a small fee. Is there anyone you know of that wants Hogwarts closed?"
Kitsune opened her mouth to speak as they arrived at the Private Infirmary. "We can talk about this later," she whispered and knocked on the door.
Kitsune opened the door, figuring Dumbledore was still refined to his bed. She stepped in, followed by Mahi.
Mahi made a face at the graffiti covering the walls. Kitsune smiled and rolled her eyes.
Dumbledore sat in his bed, very pale and sickly. "Dumbledore," Kitsune sang out. "Are you feeling better?"
A hacking cough replied, and then a wheezing voice. "Come here."
"I've brought my friend Mahi to see you," Kitsune started then gasped. Lying in Dumbledore's bed was not Dumbledore, but the ghost.
