Authors Notes: I like how this is going don't you?
Kodachi gazed down into the glass display case with out really seeing it. In one hand she held a small vial of amber liquid, a potion she was led to believe that would turn her into her eleven year old self so that she might attend this 'Hogwarts'.
"Will I remember everything?" A small question but with far reaching consequences.
"The change is only physical not mental. You will remember everything that has happened only in an eleven year old body."
Kodachi continued to stare down into the glass, weighing the pro's and cons in her mind.
"Will.." She paused, uncertain how to phrase the question, "will my brother be able to find me?"
"No Miss. Kuno even should he be able to find out where you went he would not be able to see Hogwarts because of the enchantments placed on it. Should you desire it you need not have any dealing with him for the rest of your life."
Kodachi relaxed a little, she did not want a repeat of the past, but still was she willing to give up everything she was for this one long shot? Could she give up everything and just leave. Yes she could.
Kodachi raised the vial to her mouth and downed it in one gulp. A feeling of warmth flowed through her veins as it seemed like the world around her grew larger. It took a second for the fact that the world wasn't getting bigger but she was shrinking to fully set in.
Once everything stopped getting bigger Kodachi took a moment to examine herself. The school uniform and leotard that had fitted her sixteen year old self so well now swallowed her eleven year old form. She was pleased to notice several scars that had once decorated her form were now gone. It appeared that the potion worked as promised.
"What's next?" Kodachi barely hid the grimace at the squeakiness of her voice.
"Now Miss Kuno we must get you to England," The shops owner reached under the counter to pull out a small stack of documents, he handed them to Kodachi, 'Here is a passport, plane ticket, Japanese to English handbook, and documents allowing you access to funds under your ancestors name in England."
Kodachi leafed through the papers, seeing that everything was in proper order, although what kind of bank could be named 'Gringots' she didn't know.
"There should be a teacher waiting for you at the London airport Miss Kuno, but you had better hurry there isn't much time until your plane leaves."
"Thank you sir." Kodachi bowed low to the store owner and took her leave.
Moment after she had left the man form wavered like a reflection in a turbulent pond, Asmaratu thoughtfully gazed at the door Kodachi had just exited before smiling slightly.
"May you have a better life this time little rose."
A moment later the store was empty, until a rat like man stepped out of the back room, grumbling about know it all goddess interfering with his work and how that girl would have made a perfect bimbo. It should be noted that a second later said man was hit by several bolts of lightning.
After all, it doesn't pay to bad mouth one of Kami-sama's favorite daughters.
Heathrow Airport, London, England
When Kodachi stepped off the long flight from Tokyo she was not a happy camper, the seats had been small, cramped and the flight attendants just would not leave her alone. She really wanted a quiet moment to ponder the changes that had occurred, to consider the changes the last 24 hours had imposed on her life. More than anything else she wanted a bed, a shower, and a proper meal.
Kodachi glanced around the airport terminal in irritation, her first view of Britain was of hordes of unwashed Gaijin milling about in the cramped, hot, stuffy environment of Heathrow Airport. Perhaps even more irritating was the complete lack of a greeting party.
"Kodachi Kuno?" Kodachi turned around at he sound of her name and looked up. and up. Considering some of the things Kodachi had seen in Nerima the giant looming over her didn't really frighten her, until she remembered that physically she was eleven years old and didn't have access to her usual means of dealing with people who annoyed her.
"Hai." She muttered adopting the expected meek and proper stance. The giant, Kodachi could only think of him as such extended a hand.
"Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Dumbledore sent to getcha where you'r going."
Kodachi meekly extended her small seemingly fragile hand and gently shook his, although it looked something like an ant trying to shank hands with an elephant.
"Come along now, we'll pick up your stuff and head off fer yere school supplies."
'What have you gotten yourself into this time Kodachi?' She silently mused as she followed the giant wild man through the throngs of people.
Next Time: Diagon Alley, wand shopping and Kodachi get a new pet.
