3 Girls, a cat, and a magic school

Chapter 2

          Sorry I forgot to tell you guys this, but all is taking place after the events of the 4th HP book. Once the fifth one comes out, I'll probably have some amount of time pass so it takes place after that one.  I really like the new kind of ideas for this fic since I've been writing YGO since I joined fanfiction.net (though it never gets old ^_^). I'm writing chapters pretty fast since, like all of my fics, I had it pretty well planned out before I actually started writing it. When I say that, I don't mean I wrote them out and spell checked everything then typed it. That's time-consuming shit in my opinion. (This is why this is rated PG-13 ^_____^) I just have really boring classes and you guys are getting a real treat since it's the end of the school year and I'm not getting any homework and have time to write this. I reeeeeeeeeeeally appreciate reviews (Even flames… it takes criticism to do things right, right? -.-….) so submit whatever ya got to say!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter, Gameboy Advance SP, the song Rhythm Emotion, or anything of the sort besides Reina, Yukie, Tsarmina, and Kaori. This disclaimer lasts throughout the WHOLE FIC!!!

            Kaori came back from trying to find a bathroom to find Reina asleep from thinking so hard (yeah right) and Yukie playing her Gameboy Advance SP. She had barely flopped back into her seat when the compartment door swung open yet again. Reina's eyelids fluttered open at the loud crash of the door and she fell out of her seat when she discovered that the big ugly guy with the scraggly hair had come to pay them an all too unpleasant visit.

          " Well, um… hello, sir…. Nice to…er… see you again." Yukie fumbled, looking unusually nervous.

          " Well, hullo, Yukie. How nice ter see ya again." He answered in all of that terrible grammar. " I came ter tell ya that I was sorry 'bout earlier. I'm sure ya just left yer uniforms in yer suitcases. You, Kaori, I'm giving detention to. Ya shouldn't be talkin' to a teacher like ya did, though I am sorry about yellin' at ya before finding anything out about you. Now, maybe, I can find something out about you." He grunted. Yukie winced every time he spoke improperly. She was a total language freak.

          " Uh…well… Wait a second— " Kaori started but the train jolted to a stop and was thrown from her seat from the abrupt stop before she could finish. The really big guy looked as if he remembered a task he had to accomplish and ran to the front of the train, leaving the trio only to stare. Tsarmina yawned loudly from inside Kaori's coat pocket, since she was tiny enough to hide in there. Kaori looked out the window to see where they were. All she could in the darkness of night was a large gloomy looking lake. " Guys, any clue where we are? It's too dark for me to see." She sighed.

          " Maybe there's a hotel around for us to spend the night in. I'm glad we brought our luggage with us." Yukie said, reaching into her coat pocket and pulling out a white glove with no fingers except for a cut-off one that covered about a fourth of her middle finger. There was a large shiny lavender orb in the middle. ( Think Magic Knight Rayearth gloves) She slipped the glove on and signaled for Reina and Kaori to do the same. They pulled out their gloves. Reina's had a yellow orb and Kaori's was orange. These were what they cast their magic with. They also kept little personal belongings in the orb since it contained your common little unlimited space. In this case, their luggage was in there. They crept out of their compartment when they heard people getting off the train. Once off, they walked about in the darkness to the lake and bent down to peer into it, hopefully seeing how deep it was. They all peered into it, yet none could see the bottom. Tsarmina was sitting a fair distance behind them, not wanting to get near the deep water. Reina was the first to spot something moving in the water. It looked to be a really big fish. It came closer…and closer… and closer…

( oooo….creepy ^_^) until it was about 5 feet from the surface. It raised a long tentacle and broke the surface. Reina screamed as it made a grab for her. She got up and ran, pulling Kaori and Yukie behind her.

          " That…that…thing…nearly killed me!!! I just nearly got away!" she panted and cried at the same time. Kaori was trying her novel best to hold back a huge laughing fit while Yukie was glowering at Tsarmina, who was panting over a hiss to make it sound like she was laughing.

          " Well, I take it you're the dumbest one here, going up to lake like that and expecting nothing to happen." Came an annoying voice from behind them. Reina quit her crying long enough to turn around to see who dared to say such a thing. A short bleach-blonde kid of maybe 14 flanked by two extremely dumb-looking boys was laughing quietly behind them.

          " You wanna come say that to my face?!" Reina shrieked.

          " I'd rather not. Your looks might break my eyes if I get too close." He remarked smartly. Reina hissed and held her hand up to cast the wind on him but Yukie pulled it back down and shook her head at her, signaling that that wasn't the best idea. It was best if they kept themselves inconspicuous. Reina released her fury and walked away reluctantly. They walked until they reached the far end to the lake, which was surrounded by thick forest on both sides.

          " Well, it seems the only way we can cross the lake is to fly. Maybe there's a place for us to stay over there." Yukie commented. Reina was only walking in circles, as if thinking and looking around too. She saw the other kids getting on a boat. Just as she was considering getting on too, the kid with the messy black hair and glasses ran up to her, wearing an unusually happy smile.

          " Come on! There's extra room in our carriage, you can ride to the other side with us! Hurry, we have to get back before they leave." He said, grabbing Reina's hand hastily and running off with her and Yukie and Kaori came curiously behind. They came to a line of carriages and the boy pulled Reina into the one at the very back. They climbed in and sat down in the carriage, which was comfortably large. " My name's Harry Potter, and these are my friends, Ron and Hermione." He said pointing out a red-headed boy and a bushy haired blonde. The two waved courteously. " What are your names?" he looked intently at Reina.

          " Uh…well… I'm Reina, and this is Kaori, Yukie and Kaori's cat, Tsarmina." She pointed to each person/animal in order and Tsarmina purred in greeting. " This is kind of an awkward question, but, how did you get a scar of such an interesting shape on your forehead? You couldn't have gotten it from just a fall." Hermione gasped and Ron's eyes widened considerably.

           " You don't know? How could you not know?!" Ron said in total amazement.

          " Hey, don't blame me! I just met him! How am I supposed to know?" Reina whined, sounding offended. " What are you, famous or something?"

          " You must not be from around here. Where are you three from anyway? I don't remember seeing a lot of people with your hair colors around here." Harry commented politely. Before they could answer, the carriage came to a halt and Yukie leaped out faster than she should have and somewhat stumbled. The other two followed suit (without the stumbling) and raced off without a backward glance.

          After 15 minutes of rigorous fleeing, they stopped and rested under the shade of a tall cedar tree. They were deep in the forest now. 

          " I think he likes you, Reina." Yukie smirked.

          " Back off, Yukie. I didn't ask him to come up and drag me over to his carriage. I wanted to stay unnoticed." Reina stuck her nose into the air.

          " Well, right now maybe we should be exploring the forest and see if there's some kind of abandoned cottage or something. That'd be convenient." Kaori interjected.

          " Let's get moving then." Reina said, starting off. They walked on for about an hour without seeing anything but trees, mountains, and more trees. Yukie had gotten into humming Rhythm Emotion while Kaori tried her best to ignore her and keep going. Right when they thought they'd never make it out of the forest alive, they spotted an extremely large castle-type building in the distance. They raced toward it and heard singing and chatter coming from inside, as if there was a party going on. Reina crawled into the bushes, conveniently placed just below a window, and peered in. There were four long tables, each loaded with kids, age raging from about 10 to 17. There was also a smaller table at the front, at which were seated adults.

          " Looks like a party. They're all wearing funny clothes and eating some tasty looking food. I'm getting hungrier just watching." Reina whined, licking her dry lips.

          " Do you think we should sneak in and investigate?" Kaori suggested. Her first thought always had been some stealth operation.

          " Well, as long as we don't get caught. Let's go." Yukie agreed reluctantly. They crept to the front door, which looked to be about 30 feet tall and solid gold, and threw themselves against it. It took all three of them digging their heels into the grass and pushing to get it open just enough for them to slip in. They padded silently down the hallway until Kaori tripped and screamed. She covered her mouth and got up to see what she had fallen over. She looked back just in time to see a large door to their right pull in a doorstop that it seems to have pushed out to make Kaori trip. The door giggled and Kaori growled while Yukie gasped. She, of course, had never seen a door trip someone on purpose.

          " You damn door! How dare you! Who do you think you're messing with?!" Kaori said madly, keeping her voice low enough so no one else could hear her though it expressed all the anger she had. The door continued to giggle. Yukie saw that something was wrong. She looked closer at the door and saw that it was indeed a ghost laughing, not the door.

          " Kaori! It's not the door! It's a ghost in front of it! He did it!" she cried.

          " Yeah? Well that ghost is gonna pay!" she said. She held her hand forward and prepared to cast a spell. Yukie was too late to stop her. She dove behind a corner as Reina did and Kaori yelled:

          " Mystic Inferno!"

          The door was blasted to pieces and Kaori was left with a dumb look on her face, as if she had just realized what she had done. This particular door happened to lead to the hall where the adults and kids were having their party.

          " Kaori!!! You dimwit! Now look at what you've done!" Yukie hissed in a whisper of a voice. She was still behind the corner and Reina was cowering in fear of what trouble they'd be in.

          " Kaori? Kaori! What're we gonna do?!" Reina cried desperately.

          " RUN!!" Kaori commanded. They jumped out from behind the corners and ran but Yukie wasn't fast enough. Dumbledore rose and held out a wand and cast a petrifying spell on her and she fell to the floor unconscious.

          " Yukie!!" Reina cried, horrified. She ran to her friend's side while Kaori stood ferociously in front of them, fire radiating angrily from her body as she shook with fury.

          " Who do you think you are?!" she shrieked, her shrill voice echoing throughout the hall. " You mess with my friends, you mess with me!" she held her hand out once more and all of the adults rose. Just as she was about to fire, Harry jumped up from his chair and jumped between them. " Harry? Don't get involved! This is my fight!" she yelled, trying to push him away.

          " No! We can talk about this! Put down your wand!" he yelled to Dumbledore. He obeyed and sat down wordlessly. " You too, Kaori. Where's your wand?"

          " Wand? What's a wand?" she asked, cocking an eyebrow in curiosity.

          " What? You don't have a wand? Then how—" he began his interrogation though did not get to finish since Dumbledore beckoned for him to sit down and for Kaori to come forward. All of the kids began whispering and looking at her jeans and tank top, as if they had never seen such clothes before.

          " Well, well. It seems we have an unexpected guest. Do not be afraid, children. I am quite sure she means no harm." Dumbledore said, sweetly smiling down at Kaori, who did not return the smile. " Would you mind telling us who and your friends are, dear?"

          " I'm Satosaishi Kaori, they're Shimizaki Reina and Ishimanou Yukie." Kaori answered, holding a cold grudge in red eyes. Tsarmina hissed dangerously at her feet and Snape glared at her.

          " Well, those are interesting names. Where are you from and what are you doing here, little girl?" Snape growled.

          " You had better watch who you're calling 'little girl', mister. I'm one of the oldest ones here. I'm from Nagasaki, Japan and I came to London on vacation and ended up here by accident."

          " Muggles aren't able to get in here. How did you get in?"

          " Muggle? What the hell is a muggle? I've just about had it with your name-calling! The only thing you are allowed to call me is Kaori. Anything else is gonna get you in deep trouble."

          " A muggle is a non-magical person, you idiotic child."

          " IDIOT?! You did not just call me an idiotic child!! The only one who's acting childish is you! And I'll have you know that I'm anything but 'non-magical'. If you'd like a demonstration, look at the door." She pointed in back of her. The rubble from the destroyed door was still smoking.

          " You have no wand and are completely out of uniform! What are you doing here?!" his voice rose considerably.

          " She told you, we ended up here by mistake." Came Yukie's voice from behind. " We were looking for a train into town and aren't used to such low-tech train stations and Reina fell through a barrier and we took the train here, not knowing where it went. We walked through the forest until we came to your castle. We snuck in since we thought we could sneak some food but a ghost tripped Kaori and she got mad and blew the door to pieces." Everyone's eyes widened at the lengthy explanation. " Now, could you explain to us where we are?" she asked, politely bowing.

          " This is Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry." Dumbledore explained simply.

          " Uh… did you just say 'school of witchcraft and wizardry'?" Reina asked, dumbfounded.

          " Yes."

          " That's what I thought… ok… that has to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard." Reina responded. "Hey, wait! I've never exactly heard of there being any magic schools in Japan. How come there's one in England?! Anything England can do, Japan can do better!"

          " Such arrogance in a small child." Snape commented rudely.

          " One more time, mister! I'm warning you! I'll show you that we can do anything better! Choose an event, any event. Make it decent though. Can't have any stripping contests." Reina smirked with a wink and a few giggles arose from the older boys.

          " Quidditch!" yelled a voice from behind Yukie.

          " What?" Reina asked in disbelief. " What language are you speaking?"

          " Quidditch! It's a game! If you think you're so much better than us, so play us in our own game!" the voice belonged to Fred Weasley.

          " Oh yeah? You're on! I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, but you're on!" Kaori challenged.

          " Now now, it's a bit too late to be playing any games. We should all retire and decide what to do in the morning. Ms. Kaori, you and your friends may stay the night here. I'll have some dinner brought up to you as I am sure you're hungry." Dumbledore smiled.

          " Well, arigatou gozaimasu old man. You're not as bad as I thought. I promise not to blow anything apart…until tomorrow." Kaori grinned. She helped Yukie up and they trotted off to find someplace to sleep. Though before they were out the door, which was flooded by leaving students, Reina stopped short and turned back around.

          " Uh, sir? Is it all right for Tsarmina to stay with us as well? No one here is allergic to cats, are they?" she asked, twiddling her fingers.

          " It's all right. The cat may stay as well." Dumbledore replied.

          " Ok." The three chorused and hopped off, Tsarmina still hissing.
