Crystal: Hello all, and welcome to my first Yu Yu Hakusho fic! Now, I do not own YYH, and I do not own Harry Potter, and anyone who died in either are alive now, I'm not mentioning names. The term 'Jumi' comes from the game 'Legend of Mana' by Squaresoft, so it doesn't belong to me either. The only character in my use is Oracle, who is a Jumi, all others belong to Squaresoft.

Crystal: Anyway, I would like to dedicate this whole story to the other Siora. I used only three ideas from her story, which you fill find under my favorites list. I used the fact that the team was going to 'protect' someone at Hogwarts, and then something that has to do with demons, but I can not say without giving away the whole plot line. And, I used the idea for them to stay at Grimmauld Place. So, here is the next chapter.

~*~*~

"Are you excited, cause I'm excited, so…" Oracle said, jumping around the common room.

"Shut up Oracle!" Yusuke said. Oracle turned to him. She stuck her tongue out.

"No, cause I'm excited" Oracle said, as she continued to jump around the common room.

"I can't handle this" Yusuke moaned, and he disappeared to his room. Oracle stopped jumping.

"Glad I pissed him off" Oracle smiled. But now she was alone. "Great…" she sighed. She walked over to the fire, looking at the main picture on the front. It had her, Rubeun, Elazul, and Esmeralda in it.

"Hmm, I know what's missing" Oracle said. She smiled. "I need a photo with my new friends, and then a photo of all of my friends" Oracle mused to herself. Hiei walked down the stairs a minute later, with Kurama right behind him. Oracle smiled at them.

"Hello Oracle" Kurama said.

"Hi Hiei, hi Kurama" Oracle said, before she turned back to the pictures. They sat down. Oracle's eyes began to sparkle suddenly. "Oh, oh, stay right here!" Oracle said, running up the stairs to her room. Hiei and Kurama glanced at each other.

"Wonder what that was about" Kurama said.

"Hn" Hiei said.

"I heard what she asked you about being her friend" Kurama said.

"Ease-dropper" Hiei muttered.

"So, she really is your friend?" Kurama asked.

"Yes" Hiei said.

"Really, it looks like there's something more" Kurama said. Hiei glared at him.

"Like what?" Hiei asked.

"That you care for her in more then a friend way" Kurama said.

"Like a sister?" Hiei asked, trying to act stupid.

"That's not what I meant. You get this sort of look when you see her" Kurama said. At that second, Oracle came down the stairs.

"Oh, Hiei, I figured out something" Oracle said. "You know how you say 'hn' all the time, well, I think I figured out what it means" Oracle said.

"Either, it means, 'Look at me, I'm so cool, I'm just too cool to answer you in a sophisticated matter' or it means 'I have really cool hair, and I'm really strong, so I rather confuse you then answering you strait. Am I right, or am I right?" Oracle said smiling.

"Hn" Hiei said, trying to hide a smile. Oracle laughed, before heading back upstairs.

"That look" Kurama said, looking at Hiei's softened eyes.

"I have no clue what your talking about" Hiei said.

"I know you have feelings for her Hiei, but you better not let her find out" Kurama said. "Remember, a Jumi isn't to fall in love with a human…or demon."

Botan, Yukina, Oracle, and Yusuke came down the stairs at that moment.

"Ok, um, everyone gather around the couch there" Oracle said.

"What are we doing exactly?" Yusuke asked.

"I'm going to take a picture. Alright, now, Yusuke, stand behind the next to Botan, and put your arms on the top of the couch" Oracle said. The two followed her directions.

"Good, now, Kurama on the left side of the couch, Hiei on the right, Yukina, you sit next to Kurama" Oracle said. They did so. Oracle walked over, and sat between Yukina and Hiei.

"Now, we do this" Oracle said, putting one arm over Hiei's shoulders and one over Yukina's. Kurama put his arm over Yukina's, and Hiei hesitated, before carefully putting his arm over Oracle's.

"Alright, now, this is called a fully magical picture" Oracle said whistling carefully. A Dryad spirit formed, bowing at Oracle before beginning a spell.

"Ok, on three, do your best job to smile" Oracle said, side glancing at Hiei. The Dryad showed it's leafy fingers, counting down to three, and then there was a bright flash, before the Dryad disappeared, and a piece of paper fell from the air. Oracle pulled it over with her wind, showing it to the others.

Everyone was smiling, even Hiei. In fact, it wasn't a teeth type smile, but it was a sexy like smile. No, Oracle, bad Oracle scolded herself, before continuing to look over the picture. Yusuke had given her bunny ears, and Botan had given Yusuke bunny ears as well. All and all, it was a very nice picture.

Oracle began to bring together some of her magic in a frame, and everyone went in their separate ways. Except her and Hiei.

"It's a nice picture, isn't it?" Oracle asked, admiring the picture of all of them, and her nicely made frame.

"Hn" Hiei said.

"Hey, don't you take that tone of voice with me, young man" Oracle said, laughing slightly. Hiei made a small smile. There was a knock at the door, followed by a few more.

"It's Aldu, if you'll excuse me" Oracle said, Hiei's arm falling to his side. She placed the picture on the mantelpiece, and opened the portrait.

"They're here" Dumbledore said. Oracle squealed. She turned to face Hiei.

"Hiei, could you do me a favor and get everyone else and bring them down to the Great Hall?" Oracle asked, her eyes turning big and emerald.

"Sure" Hiei said. Oracle smiled at him, and then jumped out of the portrait, running down the hall with Dumbledore following.

Hiei stood, and then something hit him. He had had his arm around her that whole time, and he hadn't even noticed. He blushed slightly, before filling out his duty for Oracle.

~*~*~

Hiei appeared down stairs seconds later. He had informed the four he had traveled to England with about the arrival of Oracle's friends, and had started to the Great Hall. He opened the large door, stepping in, and seeing Oracle surrounded by people at the front of the room, laughing.

Hiei pondered why there were more then three, as Oracle had said would be there. As if feeling his eyes, Oracle turned, and smiled.

"Hiei, come here!" Oracle called. Hiei began to walk forward, and Oracle appeared in front of him. "You don't have to be scared" Oracle said, her eyes shining orange.

"I'm not scared" Hiei said.

"Sure" Oracle smiled, before dragging him over to the group of people.

"Ok, intros. Hiei, this is Rubeun, Elazul, and Esmeralda. You've heard me talk about them. Well, this is Pearl, Elazul's guardian, Sapphire, my younger sister, Opal, my other younger sister, and Diana, my older sister" Oracle introduced.

"It's Oppie, to friends" a white Jumi with brown hair said. Her eyes were a bright blue, matching the sky outside.

"Everyone, this is Hiei" Oracle said. All the Jumi's nodded in a 'hello' sort of way.

"Oh, oh, Oracle, you know what we must do?" A bluish green Jumi with matching hair said, running forward. Her eyes shone like her core, in a creamy blue color. "We must have a party" the girl said, dancing around Oracle.

"Sapphire, we just can't have a party. But there will be one at Christmas time" Oracle said.

"Christmas…?" Sapphire asked, confused.

"Uh, Heaven's Day" Oracle said.

"Oh, I love that holiday. I must get started on my shopping" Sapphire cried, jumping around. The Great Hall door opened once more, and in stepped the rest of the crew (Yusuke, Botan, Kurama, and Yukina.)

"Oh" Oracle said, and she went with introductions again.

"YaY, now all my friends know each other, and my family knows all my friends" Oracle smiled. "But how to celebrate?" Oracle pondered.

"Well" a very elegant white Jumi spoke up; her core was a diamond with a slit missing. "We could always have a regular party, just in what we are in. Not a ball, just a lunch get together with music" the Jumi suggested.

"That's a great idea" Oracle said.

"That's because Diana always has good ideas" a fiery red Jumi said, who the five recognized as Rubeun from the pictures in the common room.

"Well, lets start a guest list" a green Jumi said, which the five recognized as Esmeralda.

"We could invite everyone in the castle, since there are very few" Oracle said.

"And I'll go down to the kitchens!" Sapphire said. "Come with me Pearl" Sapphire said, leading away a very small and shy girl towards the doors.

"You better take care of her" a Jumi with long green hair said, the knight known as Elazul.

"Oh, Elazul, you are way too protective" Sapphire giggled, before she and Pearl disappeared through the door.

"Ok, well, who would like to help me with the invites?" Oracle asked.

"We will" Esmeralda and Opal cried, rushing over, and they started out the door, talking animatedly.

The eight left in the room stood in awkward silence, before Diana took a step forward.

"Thank you for protecting my baby sister" Diana said. "I know she would like to show you her home, but I'm afraid we are here for the same reason as you, as I told Oracle" Diana said.

"To protect Harry Potter" Hiei said. "Oracle told me."

"Oh, so she's made a secret friend" Diana said.

"No, we all know he's friends with her" Yusuke said. Diana giggled.

"No, no, a friends she tells all her secrets too, but you might feel a little left out now that she has Esmeralda with her again" Diana said. "Oh, and watch out for these two" Diana said, motioning to the two Jumi behind her. "They are very protective" Diana smiled.

"I like you" Botan said, walking up to Diana.

"Oh, should I take that as a compliment?" Diana asked.

"Do all Jumi have this type of humor?" Yusuke asked.

"Only in their blood line" Rubeun said, pointing to Diana. Diana turned on him.

"Is that so?" Diana said sweetly.

"Run, Rubeun, while you still can" Elazul said. Diana turned to him.

"Oh teapo!" Elazul said, before running off, Rubeun on his tail. Diana began to float into the air, her eyes becoming totally white from the chocolate brown they used to be.

"Should we help them?" Kurama asked.

"Nah" Hiei and Yusuke said. They looked at each other, and then turned away.

"Hey, Diana, I don't think Aldu will be too happy if you destroy his ceiling" Oracle called as she entered the room. Diana's eyes turned back to their original color, and she floated down.

"I'm sorry, Oracle, but they insulted our humor" Diana said.

"Are you sure that wasn't Yusuke?" Oracle smiled.

"Oh, your right, it was Yusuke" Diana said. The two sisters turned.

"Crap!" Yusuke yelled, before he high-tailed it out of the room.

"Oh, I really like you now" Botan smiled.

"Everybody likes me, it's a gift" Diana said.

"Or a curse" Oracle said, her eyes glinting orange.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not my fault that that stupid rabbit fell in love with me and tried to turn himself into a Jumi. He should know that diving into the Underworld sure isn't the way to do it" Diana huffed.

"He would have turned into stone sooner or later" Oracle said.

"Well, that's not completely true. You know that if he loved me for what was inside, and not because of what I was or looked like, he could have been allowed. To bad he never listened to me. I hated him anyway. It has to be two-way as well" Diana said.

"Why didn't you ever tell me that, I met a few good warriors on my trip" Oracle said. The girls laughed. "Kidding, I was way too young then to fall in love then" Oracle said.

"And you're not too young now?" Diana asked.

"Uh, well" Oracle said, blushing, her eyes turning amber.

"Who is it?" Elazul and Rubeun said, coming up and looking down at her.

"Because if he hurts you, I'll kill him" Elazul said.

"Will all of you stop it" Oracle hollered in their faces. "I'm not a baby anymore, and I can take care of myself!" She cried, before walking out of the room.

"Of course, Elazul caused the whole thing" Rubeun said.

"I was just saying…" Elazul said.

"She's right though, and you know she can very well protect herself. Think about all the times she's defeated you in battle, magic and combat" Rubeun said. He had touched a nerve.

"Rubeun!" Elazul said, and they both ran from the Great Hall.

"Just great" Diana sighed.

"Um, Hiei, right?" Diana said. Hiei nodded. "Will you go and calm Oracle down before she blows something up, while I go and settle the boys down?"

"Hn" Hiei responded.

"I'm assuming that means yes. Thank you" Diana said, bowing. "Oh, and will stay here and began to decorate for the party?" She asked the others.

"You can count on it" Botan said.

"Thank you, oh so much" Diana said, before she, too, disappeared from the hall. Seconds later, Hiei did as well.

~*~*~

"Oracle?" Hiei questioned, as he looked around the lake. No answer.

"Hiei…?" He heard. He turned, and saw Oracle sitting on a rock over the lake. Hiei walked over, and sat down next to her.

"Your sister asked me to calm you down" Hiei said. He found it hard to lie to the girl sitting beside him, even though he was rather good at hiding things. The only thing he seemed not to have spilled to her yet was his emotions and deep secrets.

"She usually does do that" Oracle coughed out. It seemed that she couldn't cry again.

"She went to make sure that Elazul and Rubeun didn't kill each other, or I'm sure she would have come herself" Hiei explained.

"I know she would have" Oracle said, trying to smile, but failing. "Elazul is usually the cause of my bursts, but he just does it to protect me. He doesn't understand that I'm not a baby anymore" Oracle explained.

"You're right, he doesn't understand. But you aren't a baby anymore, anyone can see that. But, he has watched over you from the time you joined the knights. Maybe it's hard for him to watch you grow up" Hiei said. Oracle turned to face him, their eyes locking.

"You seem to know just what I'm going through" Oracle said to him. Her eyes became glassy. "And it's odd, because you seem to unsettle all these hidden emotions I have" Oracle said, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I don't want to cry, but it overcomes me when this happens" Oracle said, and she fell into Hiei's chest.

Hiei looked down at her awkwardly, lifting his arm and putting it around her in a comforting manner. Oracle's tears stopped, and Hiei felt himself fill with a tingly sensation as her tears hit his skin.

"I want to be strong" Oracle said. "I can't cry, I won't cry" Oracle said, as she sat up. Hiei began to remove his arm, but Oracle moved her hand and held it there. She looked at Hiei, and smiled slightly. "I like your comfort" she said. Hiei blushed slightly, and looked over at her.

"We should head back though" Hiei said. Oracle nodded, and stood with him, keeping his arm in place with her hand. Hiei walked with her, back to the castle, a bit uncomfortable. He had never actually had his arm around a girl, except earlier that day, but for some odd reason, it didn't feel that odd.

As they approached the castle, Oracle removed her hand, and Hiei took that as a sign to let his arm drop. But when it did, she grabbed his hand. She let go of it when they reached the door, and she pushed it open.

The Great Hall was decorated with party decorations, and one of the tables had been turned into a buffet table. All of the other ones had disappeared. Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were there, as well with some of the adults. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley actually seemed to be the only people missing.

Elazul walked forward, and faced Oracle.

"I'm sorry that I treated you as if you were a child, and may have threatened someone you care about" he said in a very bored voice.

"Apology accepted, but don't do it again" Oracle said. Elazul nodded, and walked away. "He does it every time" Oracle whispered to Hiei, which made him smile slightly. Her breath tickled. Music started suddenly, and Oracle ran to the space cleared for dancing, dragging Hiei along.

"You do know how to dance, right?" Oracle asked. Hiei didn't reply.

"Well, since I'm taking that as a no, all you have to do is move to the music, alright?" Oracle said, as she began to dance slowly, trying to get Hiei to as well.

"That sure is a sight" Kurama said, watching as Oracle tried to teach Hiei to dance.

"Oh, I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life" Yusuke said, laughing.

"Ok, it seems your not getting this" Oracle said, laughing.

"Seems not" Hiei said.

"Would it kill you to try?" Oracle asked.

"Yes…and I'm too young to die" Hiei said. Oracle hit him on the arm playfully.

"Well, you're going to learn before the night ends, and I promise that" Oracle said.

"Your going to break that promise then" Hiei said. Suddenly, a waltz came on.

"Odd" Oracle said, turning and seeing Sapphire dancing and smiling at her. Oracle sighed. "If I can't teach you cool dances, then I'll have to teach you fancy ones" Oracle said. She placed his arms in the right place, and then hers. Then, they began to dance.

Diana, who had been dancing with Rubeun, stopped, and turned to look at her younger sister. She sighed. "Oracle" she said, and Oracle turned.

"Oh, right, right" the Jumi said. "Diana, may I dance with Hiei" Oracle asked in a sugar coated voice.

"I guess so" Diana said, and oracle began to continue teaching Hiei how to dance. But, Diana didn't return to dancing with Rubeun. She listened to the music, and began to sing softly.

It's one-two-three

And suddenly

I see it at a glance

She's radiant

And confidant

And born to take this chance

I taught her well

I planned it all

I just forgot

Romance

Diana, how could you do this?

How will we get through this?

I never should have let them

Dance

Diana stopped singing as the song came to an end, and Oracle and Hiei stopped dancing.

"See, I kept my promise" Oracle said breathlessly.

"I see that" Hiei said. Oracle leaned a little closer to him, and him to her. Their eyes closed, and they got closer. Then, Oracle's eyes snapped open, and she took a step back.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry" Oracle said, as she turned and left the dance stage, hiding her face in her hands.

Hiei wore a startled expression, wondering what had come over him. He had almost kissed her, right there, in front of everyone. But it seemed like everyone had disappeared while they were dancing, and that, if he had kissed her, it wouldn't matter what happened to anyone, but her.

He left the dance floor, still having a hand to his head. It seemed to him that Oracle had left after that, and suddenly he felt that their friendship was never going to be the same. If they even still had a friendship.

Hiei hit himself in the head. He was going soft. What was this girl doing to him?

He left the room, determined on finding her and asking her. If it was magic, he would have sensed it. But it was something more, something that made his insides melt together, and then rush all over him. What was happening?

~*~*~

Crystal: Another chapter done. Now, as you can see, I've decided this will be a Hiei/Oracle story. They have a lot in common, and Hiei will like her. I mean, she can fight for herself, and she likes to taunt Yusuke. Or, make his worst dreams realities. Yea, that's more like it.

Crystal: Now, my friend *DreamerStarM* said that a Yukina/Kurama coupling would be original, and I like original, so I'm going to lean towards that. Besides, Hiei would trust Yukina more with Kurama then with Kuwabara.

Crystal: So, now that that's all clear, I would just love some reviews and feedback. And the next chapter will be out ASAP, or as fast as I can type. 21 stories, I have a lot on my shoulders. I will get back to Prophecy of Eight soon, but, again; I am stuck in the depths of writers block for that story. Anyone know how to save me?

Crystal: Oh, and I've forgotten to mention this before, but the first song featured in this fic is called 'And Forever' by Robbie Danzie and Takao Naoki. And the song in this chapter is from the animated movie 'Anastasia.'  

See ya around…
