HELLO!!! This is Botan721 here! My Evil Side is taking the day off because she's suffering from a slight concussion… I wonder how that happened? But hey, let's not talk about that! [Says while nervously laughing] Actually, I want to take a moment to explain some things.
First of all, I know there was probably a lot of confusion on what limited third-person meant. There are two different types of third-person. There's omniscient, which is the type where you can see everybody's thoughts and know how they feel about things. Limited is the other type of third-person. Though it's not in first-person, you can only see one character's emotions and opinions. I know a lot of you were probably going "Duh, who doesn't know that!" But I just wanted to clarify for those… special people who didn't. Hey, I was only kidding!!! [Says while getting hit with garbage and rotten vegetables from the people who didn't know what that meant]
Second of all, some people where wondering where this story will be going. I was going to keep it in the dark, but I'll tell you anyways. Other people from Yu Yu Hakusho are going to show up. Also, there will be a little romance later on.
Yeah, I know that was pretty long and boring, so let's get on with the story!
P.S. Sorry about the English lesson. I bet most of you were starting to fall asleep and/or drool.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter… yet…

Strange CircumstancesBotan_Rocks721
The Great Hall was ominously silent. People stared at the poor, unfortunate Deity of Death like she was a psycho or freak show… and probably a few others thought she was both.
To tell you the truth, Botan was about to make a bolt for it. She figured these crazy cult people were most likely going to think she was a spy or something, and then start pummeling her until they found out whom her employer was. The hapless ferry girl was just about to make a break for it when, a man spoke behind her. She turned around quickly and looked up at a man on the raised platform.
He was very tall, thin, and well… extremely old. His white beard went down past his waist and his bright blue eyes were twinkling behind spectacles. His voice was deceiving though, because it was amazingly strong for a man of his age. "Ladies and gentlemen… I'd like to present to you are new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher!" If all of the students had been standing at that moment, they probably would've fallen over in shock.

"So Harry, what do you think about the new teacher, huh?" Ron asked in a teasing tone. Harry had been staring at her from his place at the table for five minutes straight now. He quickly regained focus and asked in a huffy tone, "What do you mean by that Ron?" "Well, she is quite a looker," he replied in a rather inappropriate tone.
Before Harry could give an indignant comment, Hermione butted in, "Would you two stop it, she's a teacher for goodness sakes!" The two boys had injured looks on their faces and Ron was twiddling his thumbs. "Geez Hermione, we were only kidding…" Ron said quietly before he got suspicious, "Why would you care anyways? What, are you jealous?" Harry could see another storm brewing between the two as she began to get red at the remark, but before he could try to subside it Hermione started up again. "Not at all! You must be joking Ron. I just don't think I'm going to like her much; she just seems way too cheery and bubble-headed!" When she said this, they all looked up at the teacher's table. Miss Botan did look really ditzy by the way she was acting. "Besides, she looks like she's fourteen!" (A/N Wow, good guess Hermione!) Both of the boys had to admit that she did look pretty young.
"Do you think she'll get the teacher curse?" Ron asked after a few moments of silence. All three of them had been thinking about the new teacher, some good thoughts and some bad ones. (A/N Hmmm… I wonder who was thinking the bad thoughts?) Harry asked stupidly, "What curse? …Oh, duh, that one! Well who knows? But all I can tell is this is definitely going to be an interesting year…"

The banquet had been a pleasant affair that evening. The students were all but sleepwalking as they made their way out of the Great Hall and up to their dormitories. One by one lights flicked out as the residents of Hogwarts were getting ready to go to sleep. Outside, the night was extremely tranquil with only a faint breeze to ruffle the tops of trees in the Forbidden Forest. It was like someone was turning out the light of the stars as a cloud slowly shifted in front of them.
Botan's bad day had turned out fine after all. The other teachers had all been pleasant and likeable. Well, almost all of them, some guy named Severus Snape had been exactly the opposite. And geez he had greasy hair! I mean what, does he not bathe or something? (A/N Sorry to all you Snape lovers out there, though I can't imagine there being many!) She thought as she made her way up to her room. But being her first time in the enormous first castle… let's just say it took a while.
Finally she found her room for the year, which was conveniently and obviously located right next to her classroom. There was even a door between the two for easy access.
The comfy room was in fact pretty large. It was big enough for a double bed, love seat, and two chairs. Fortunately, there was a door that led to a bathroom, so Botan wouldn't have to go wander the castle aimlessly to go take a shower. The atrocious kitty wallpaper that adorned the room last year was thankfully absent. Actually, and to Botan's surprise, the room was a beautiful light blue. Apparently, Koenma had made plans for her to teach at Hogwarts long before he told her.
The things she had packed were neatly placed on the flower-patterned comforter of her bed. Koenma had said that she could leave her stuff at the gates of Spirit World for it would get here. That was a pretty wise decision for the toddler-sized ruler. If he had forced Botan to drag all of her baggage with her, ruler or not, he would've gotten a spanking.
But the exhausted Deity did not pay much attention to the furnishings. She didn't even change; she just pushed off her luggage and fell onto the bed without getting under the covers. Botan barely had time to think about the next day as she fell promptly into a deep, dreamless sleep.

"Well what do you know, we all have a double class of Defense Against the Dark Arts with Miss Cheery-Happy-Sunshine," Hermione said rather unenthusiastically. The Three Inseparables were having a quick breakfast as other students left the hall to go to their classes. That morning, Ron would not get out of bed. Hermione ended up having to light his bed sheets on fire before he got up. (A/N Wow, that's pretty desperate!) The three of them were currently looking at their class schedules while eating cinnamon buns.
"Hermione, you haven't even met her! How can you already dislike her? She looks really nice to me, and nobody can be worse than last year!" Harry exclaimed. Ron would've commented, but he was to busy devouring cinnamon buns. It was like a seven-year famine had just ended by the way he was eating.
"Besides, we have it with Slytherin and I didn't hear you say anything about that!" Harry said indignantly. "Well why are you sticking up for her anyways?" Hermione said back just as heatedly.
Harry would've replied, but of course, the bell rung at that exact moment… meaning they were late for their first class of the first day of school. Instead of arguing about who made them late, they did the practical thing, which was to argue while running to class. They burst through the door to the classroom and nearly collapsed from exhaustion. Their faces were red from both weariness and embarrassment as they made their way to three seats in the back of the room. Luckily, they weren't the only ones late; Miss Botan wasn't even there.
