The walk into the castle was fairly uneventful. Lulu overheard some students talking about "You-Know-Who" about how terrible his return is. She couldn't hear the entire conversation, but assumed the kids were talking about some rival student they had. Frankly she didn't care, and found it quite childish these people would refer to anyone by anything other than their name.

Yuna was in a good mood after her discussion about blitzball/quiditch, but thinking of blitzball of course made her reminisce about Tidus. about how much she missed him. and than after seeing the large magnificent castle which reminded her of the church in Bevelle and her "wedding" that took place there.. Well Yuna wasn't exactly happy.

Kimahri was not in good spirits either. Seeing the landscape out here reminded him of Spira, and of Gagazet. He was homesick the most out of the three travelers, and actually hasn't had a good meal in such a long time. 'Barbeque Bandersnatch.Ochu Salad.'

"So hungry.can't wait for the feast!" Ron said excitedly. Kimahri's ears perked up at the mention of a feast; though he prayed to Yevon that it'd be better food than the shit those three brats were eating on the train.

............................................................................ .........................

They entered the Great Hall. Harry, Ron and Hermione all sat next to each other. Hermione was still kinda pissed at that Lulu. 'How could such a bitch be a teacher?? I mean, even Professor McGonagall can be nice sometimes. I swear I hope I don't have any of her classes!' Meanwhile, Harry and Ron were desperately hoping to have both Yuna and Lulu as teachers, for reasons only a guy can understand. None of them even bothered to notice their rival had disappeared from the crowd.

The Spirians sat down at the teachers' table. Kimahri sat next to a large, perhaps even vicious looking man with a beard to rival Kimahri's fur. Somehow, sitting next to each other, the two people seemed to fit in. Lulu sat next to Kimahri, and Yuna next to her. Lulu was secretly happy at not having to sit next to one of these weirdoes. On Yuna's other side was, by Yuna's standards, the ugliest man to ever exist. A wretched face and a cold stare (perhaps not as cold as Lulu's, but pretty damn close). "Welcome.newbies," he said, or rather, taunted. "Ahh, light'n up fer Godsakes's Snape! Its'a wonder in itself how we even get new people to take the jobs nowa'days!!" the giant's he-man spoke. The ugly man, now identified as "Snape" replied, "I was only offering a bit of welcome, Hagrid." and shot "Hagrid" a glare. Yuna felt like she was sitting next to Seymour's evil brother. Or was Seymour the evil-er one? That could be debated, Yuna thought with a giggle.

A group of first years began to gather next to a stool, where a ragged old hat lay. "This here's whut we call a 'sortin.' Its sorts out all the firs' years and puts 'em into one o' the four houses." Hagrid explained. Though they had trouble deciphering his accent, our guardians and summoner appreciated his kindness. However, they still had no idea what the hell it did. Suddenly, the hat perked up, and began singing.

"How the..?" Yuna asked to no one in particular. Snape, having heard this, laughed and said "Surprised by such a simple magic? And you claim to be capable teachers." For the first time ever, not Lulu but Yuna glared at Snape and replied, "Don't say we're incapable until you obtain Yojimbo, Anima, and the Magus Sisters!" Snape, not having the slightest clue what the hell the young woman was talking about, decided not to pursue the conversation. Kimahri silently laughed at the crazy hat's antics. Lulu smirked and said, "Reminds me of Onion Knight after he stole Auron's jug." Yuna nearly burst out laughing at the memory, but did her best not to. After all, she gathered from everyone else's actions that this was sorta serious.

After a little bit more of its song, the hat settled down. The first years formed a line, and some old woman began calling out their names. They'd but they hat on, and it would scream out a random word. Overall, Yuna, Lulu, and Kimahri decided it'd be best to just ignore this whole thing. And after every kid sat down at a table, the feast began. Yuna was ready to eat, but when she saw her food, screeched loudly.

"How dare you eat baby chocobo?!!!" she yelled, pointing at what in reality was just a big turkey. Very few words can describe the situation: Yuna crying about how intelligent, affectionate, and cute chocobos are, that they have rights too, Hagrid reassuring Yuna it was just a turkey, nearly all the students laughing, Dumbledore trying to keep the students in line, Snape ridiculing Yuna's innocent mistake, Kimahri growling and threatening to kill Snape for insulting Yuna, Lulu trying to tell Kimahri to calm down.all at once.

But suddenly the commotion stopped. The students laughter was replaced with shock and horror. The doors of the hall opened, and the sight behind them was a gruesome one.

One word escaped Harry Potter's choked, dry mouth. ".Malfoy."

Draco Malfoy staggered into the Grand Hall.covered in blood. His clothes, and skin, for that matter, had several huge gashes. He staggered forward, bleeding freely. His eyes were in sheer terror, and he managed to say, "The man with the sword!!" before falling to the ground. Madam Pomfrey was the first of a large crowd to arrive by his side. Madam Pomfrey took his hand, checking his pulse.

"He's.dead."

"Let me through!" Yuna said. Although she had noticed how much of a pain in the ass this guy was, she still would do her best to help him.

"He's dead, there's nothing we can do for him!"

"Yes there is!" Yuna replied. She wished she had her Nirvana, but would try her magic without it. "Cast Full-life!" A bright light shone down on Draco's mangled corpse, and to everyone except Yuna, Lulu and Kimahri's surprise, Draco woke up. Not only alive, but fully-healed, too.

If Draco's return from his brief death was not a shock enough for the crowd, seeing the man responsible for this sure as hell was. Cause at the same moment Yuna cast her spell, the "man with the sword" walked casually into the room. Yuna gasped.

That's it, this time around. Please Review!

To Draco fans: Yes perhaps it was a bit much KILLING him off, and I apologize. However, Yuna did revive him

To Draco bashers: Yes perhaps he should have stayed dead, but look at it this way; If he's alive again, he can die in a humorous way! Repeatedly!

Who is the man with the sword?? Wait till next time to find out!
