Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter, and if I did, I doubt I'd be writing a fan fiction… Duh! I don't think the readers are so stupid that they wouldn't know that! *Sigh*, whatever.

"Please… I mean you must be joking!" Pleaded Botan. She slammed her fists down onto her employer's desk, knocking down a stack of papers yet to be signed. But she might as well have been talking to a brick wall. "You can't be serious… AT LEAST ANSWER ME!" she said after even more silence. Koenma, the ruler of Spirit World, who happened to look like a toddler though he was over seven hundred years old, just shook his head in exasperation.
"This is no joke Botan, you're the only one for this mission," he replied with his mind set, which just made Botan even more flustered. "This is nuts! It must be a prank…" she said trailing off, at a loss for words (A/N WOW! Botan is at a loss for words!). She began laughing nervously, "I mean you couldn't really expect me to be a teacher at some school for crackpots who call themselves wizards…"
"As a matter of fact I do and besides, wizards and witches do exist. You of all people should know that magic is just a different type of spirit energy," he said firmly. She was about to open her mouth to argue some more, but he started up again.
"Before you ask, I'm not going to send Yusuke or any of the others because they're busy on their own mission. Also, because I know you were wondering, I have a substitute ferry girl for the year, so you don't have to worry about your job here." Botan clenched her fists at his obnoxious behavior. 'He thinks he knows everything! I am definitely not going to leave in less than an hour for this!' Her mind screamed though her mouth stayed clamped shut. Koenma, as if he read her thoughts, nodded and then stated, "And if you don't leave in approximately…" Koenma said while gazing down at his rather expensive looking gold watch, "…ten seconds, I shall toss you into oblivion!" He smiled, knowing that he had won. Botan clenched her fists while growling menacingly (A/N another first), and then sighed in defeat. "Yes Koenma sir, I'll be on my way now."

The evening sky looked like the work of a professional artist who decided to use an extremely large easel. It was a perfect combination of oranges, pinks, and purples. The stunning sun was trying hard to keep its reign high in the sky. Yet its struggle was all in vain as the glowing red disc slipped farther and farther towards the horizon. The first stars were twinkling dimly as if they were shy of whoever might be watching.
All of this impressive beauty was lost upon an infuriated Botan, who was currently ranting about her new assignment. If a person with extremely good eye sight decided to look up at that precise moment, they would see a young lady with strange blue hair soaring through the sky with her fists flying in aggressive motions while perched precariously on what looked to be a long stick. Her elegant pink kimono and unique long blue hair were trying hard to catch up to her as they blew behind her.
"Darn it!!!" She seethed to no one in particular. "Koenma gives me an hour to hightail it all the way to EUROPE for goodness sakes! 'Oh Botan, by the way, in a few minutes I'd like you to pack your bags and head to England so you can be a teacher at a school for witchcraft and wizardry'," she said while imitating her rather uppity employer (A/N No offense to Koenma lovers out there! [Says while running away from people with torches]). "What does he think I don't have a life?!? Well… besides the fact that I'm dead… but that's not the point!" She sighed in exasperation and looked at her watch, "OH NO! I can't believe it! I'm going to be late for the Sorting Ceremony! This is certainly not my day." Botan quickly sped up on her oar while she hoped she wouldn't be too late.

The full moon hung proudly in the spectacular night sky. The stars must have been over their shyness because they glittered like jewels that were both bright and confident. Adding even more magnificence to the picture was Hogwarts. The ancient castle with its towers and turrets glistened with mystery, elegance, and allure. All of the lights were on in the school; which added to the grandeur.
Botan had flown through the sky so fast that it would put even Hiei to shame. She laughed in delight when she saw the castle, but still kept up her insane pace. By now, she was three hours late. They had most certainly finished the Ceremony and were probably well on through dinner.
The young deity thought she was in luck as she saw that the gigantic front door was open. Her luck vanished almost as quickly as it had come. She flew through with ease but her eyes widened in shock when she saw what was right in front of her… a door.
Botan crashed through the door (A/N poor door… hey look I rhymed!) and flew off her oar high into the air. She landed on her head with a rather unpleasant thump. You could have sworn that her eyes had little swirls in them if you looked at her. Botan got out of her stupor and sat up. She gasped in shock when she saw where she was. The unfortunate Grim Reaper found herself in the Great Hall… with one whole lot of eyes staring at her in shock and confusion. Botan's face went through a hundred shades of red in seconds.
The Great Hall was adorned with flags with the Hogwart's coat of arms. Four long and sturdy wooden tables were situated on the floor, with one shorter one up on a raised platform. And they all happened to have students and teachers at them.
She got up while glancing at everybody; she was still blushing. Botan then coughed slightly and said, "Err… hello…"
