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 author 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.
~*~*~
"So, Yusuke, excited about seeing Keiko tomorrow?" Botan asked as they walked down to their last Quidditch practice before the game. Yusuke didn't give a direct answer, just a slight nod of the head, and they stepped onto the Quidditch field.
Harry, Ron, and Ginny were standing there, their gold and scarlet Quidditch robes blowing in the slight wind. They could catch a few of Harry's words as they approached, the wind scattering them a bit.
"We're lucky, no snow yet. It's good conditions for the game" his words stopped as he noticed the four approaching, and Ron and Ginny turned to face them.
"Ready to play?" Oracle asked with a side smile, her eyes glinting a tinge of orange just for a moment.
"Let's go" Harry said. Everyone mounted their brooms, as Harry released the Snitch, the Bludgers, and the Quaffle. And so they began.
~*~*~
"Great practice everyone" Harry said, as they walked back up to the school.
"Yeah, we're going to win this game for sure" Botan smiled.
"And then, the auditions are the following day" Oracle said. "I hope I don't screw up" she muttered.
"You won't" Hiei re-assured her. She sent him a small smile.
"Thank you, and how about you. Been practicing?" She asked with a wink. He didn't respond.
"How about you two?" She asked Botan and Yusuke. Yusuke, again, did a slight nod.
"Oh yes, it will be great. Thank you for the costume, by the way" Botan smiled.
"How about you three?" Oracle asked, turning to the other three on the team.
"I'm going to try out" Ginny said.
"I might" Harry said.
"Maybe" Ron said.
"That means we just have more chances for Gryffindor to win. Oh…but Sapphire and Diana have awesome singing voices too" Oracle sighed.
"Don't worry, we'll win" Yusuke said, speaking for once. They continued walking up the stairs, talking back and forth about the game. They reached the seventh floor, and the four continued on, but…
"Where are you all going?" Ron asked.
"To the common room" Botan answered, before her eyes widened and she clasped her hand over her mouth. "Oops" she muttered.
"What?" Ginny asked. Oracle sighed again.
"We're going to a special common room" she stated simply.
"So, that would explain why we never she you guys, and why no one listens to Hermione when she tells the teachers that you've been staying out past curfew" Harry said. Oracle laughed a bit.
"Serves her right" she murmured.
"Well, why do you have a separate common room?" Ron asked.
"Cause we're special" Oracle winked. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the eighth floor, and Rubeun came running out of the hallway and down the stairs. Diana followed minutes later, carrying a large hammer.
"I am so going to kill you!" She screeched.
"But I didn't mean to do it" he yelled back, running in circles around the small group, Diana behind him. Oracle grabbed his shirt, and he stopped in his tracks. "Why do you women have to be so strong?" He whined.
"We're not, your just weak in this state" Diana muttered, walking towards him menacingly.
"Now, now, what happened?" Oracle asked, like a parent to two siblings.
"Well, me and Elazul were playing with this flying disc we found" Rubeun began, and Oracle tightened her grip.
"That was mine, where did you get it?" Oracle asked, grinding her teeth.
"Your room" he muttered, suddenly looked very small. It looked like a vein began to pulse through Oracle's temple.
"Continue" she muttered.
"Well, then we were tossing it around the common room, and it…sorta hit something" Rubeun said. Diana gave him a look. "Fine, it hit a lot of things" he sighed.
"Like what?" Oracle asked.
"Well" Diana began. "It cut off all the heads to the flowers I brought for you from Mana, broke a picture of all us sisters, and, this" Diana said, holding up two halves of a pendent. Oracle's eyes froze, no longer glowing as usual. They turned a deep crimson, but blue at the same time.
"Rubeun" Oracle said, looking at him. He fell from her grasp, landing on his bottom, and then standing. The two Jumi stared at him, and he ran back up the stairs to the eighth floor. Oracle and Diana disappeared minutes later in flashes.
"That was un-eventful" Yusuke said.
"I thought Diana and Rubeun were in Ravenclaw" Ron said.
"They are, but they're guests of Oracle, so they're staying with us" Botan said. Yusuke elbowed her.
"Don't you think you gave away enough information?" He asked. Botan pouted. "We should be going anyway. Don't want to have fried Rubeun all over the place. Ja guys" Yusuke said, slipping a bit into Japanese. Botan and Hiei followed him up the stairs, leaving the three to ponder on the information they had just received.
~*~*~
"There, good as new" Oracle said, holding the locket and smiling. She grabbed the silver blade sticking out of the wall, stepping down just as the others walked in. "Hey" she smiled, taking a step back.
"See you fixed this place up" Botan smiled.
"Yea, it was pretty ea-" Oracle wobbled, before toppling off the back of the chair. She closed her eyes, and then found herself up on her feet. She smiled at the fire apparition.
"Thank you, Hiei" she smiled, planting a butterfly kiss on his cheek.
"Aw" everyone said, well, everyone in the room. So, mainly, Botan, Yukina, Kurama, and Yusuke. Oracle blushed a bit, and so did Hiei. (A/N KAWAII!)
"We know about you two, don't have to hide it anymore" Yusuke said.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Hiei said in his usual, monotone voice.
"And neither do I" Oracle said, her face emotionless.
"Sure, sure" Botan smiled. "Then what was with the kiss?" She asked, hoping to get them to admit.
"It was just for a thank you" Oracle said, with her same un-moving face.
"Really, I didn't see you do it after the first time" Kurama stated.
"Fi-first time?" Oracle asked, in a confused voice, her eyes a brilliant shade of gold. (A/N I can't remember what color confused was. So, it's gold now, right? If I made it yellow, this is close enough, ne?)
"Uh, when you fainted that one night" Hiei began, looking at a wall, trying hard not to focus on her to much. "I caught you from hitting the floor" he finished. Oracle walked up to him, looking up slightly and turning his head to face her. She leaned up, kissing him on the other cheek.
"There" she smiled.
"Kawaii" Yukina and Botan said in unison. (A/N I'm sorry if Yukina is to out of character, but I just had to do it. GOMEN!)
"Now, girls, I want to finish up on your costumes. Lets go" Oracle smiled. She made her way to the stairs, waving back at all the boys. "Don't have to much fun without us" she smiled, disappearing behind the corner, Botan and Yukina behind her.
"Must be some costumes, considering they've been working on them since they signed up" Kurama said.
"Oh, by the way, did you do what we asked you to, Hiei?" Yusuke asked, turning to Hiei. He sighed, pulling out a paper.
"Why I had to do it, is still a mystery to me" Hiei stated coldly.
"Well, you see, your fast, so no one would see you do it. And now" Yusuke said, handing the paper to Kurama. He tapped it with his wand, and suddenly there were two. He handed the original to Hiei, who disappeared minutes after, and then reappeared.
"No one noticed?" Yusuke asked.
"Hn" Hiei said, sitting down.
"Alright then" Yusuke said, grinning mischievously. On the paper, at the very top, it said 'Karaoke Sign-ups'
"I can't believe we're doing this" Kurama sighed.
"Well, we all want to know, so, it's a good enough reason" Yusuke said. He set the list down, and looked down at it. "Here we go:
Pansy Parkinson, Slytherin, Dumb Girls, Lucy Woodward
Ginny Weasley, Gryffindor, Are You Happy Now?, Michelle Branch
Sapphire, Opal, and Diana Dia, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Cinderella, Cheetah Girls
Pearl Kcalb, Hufflepuff, What Dreams Are Made Of, Hilary Duff
Ron Weasley, Gryffindor, Kryptonite, Three Doors Down
Draco Malfoy, Slytherin, Addicted, Simple Plan
Hermione Granger, Gryffindor, Heaven, DJ Sammy
Harry Potter, Gryffindor, Crazy for This Girl, Evan and Jaron
Oracle Dia, Gryffindor, Take My Breath Away, Emma Bunton
Blaise Zambini, Slytherin, In Too Deep, Sum 41
Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw, Reflections, Christina Aguilera
Oracle Dia, Yukina, Keiko Yukimura, Gryffindor, L-O-V-E, Fisher
"Keiko?" Yusuke asked in suspicion as he read down the list.
"Well, Botan wrote to Keiko and probably asked her about what songs she would like to do" Kurama pointed out. Yusuke shrugged, and continued to read the list.
Botan, Gryffindor, Even Angels Fall, Jessica Riddle
Kurama Youko, Gryffindor, Somewhere-Somehow, Michael Smith and Amy Grant
Yukina, Gryffindor, Crush, Mandy Moore
Yusuke Urameshi, Gryffindor, First Date, Blink 182
Hiei Jaganshi, Gryffindor, Fall In Love With You, Backstreet Boys (A/N Alright, I just did this song because it fits well, k?)
Keiko Yukimura, Gryffindor, Wish You Were Here, Rednex
Esmeralda Jewel, Ravenclaw, American Pie, Madonna
Neville Longbottom, Gryffindor, Iris, Goo Goo Dolls
"Well, that's all of them" Yusuke said. "By the way, nice choice of song Hiei" Yusuke smirked, ducking as flames hurled his way.
"What the hell are you guys doing down here?" Oracle asked, poking out her head from above. Yusuke hid the list.
"Nothing" he said. Oracle looked at them suspiciously, shrugged, and went back to her room. Yusuke sighed.
~*~*~
"I'm so excited" Oracle smiled as she danced around in her Quidditch robes the next day in the locker room.
"You sure get excited easily" Yusuke said, leaning on his broom.
"WHAT WAS THAT, BAKA!?" Oracle asked, her eyes flaring. Yusuke stumbled backwards. Oracle smiled, her eyes green once more.
"It's time" Harry said, and everyone went and stood by the opening into the field.
"I don't know if I'm more excited or nervous" Botan said with a small smile.
"Don't worry about it, once you get onto your broom, it will melt. Trust me" Harry said, copying her smile. She nodded. They heard their team announced, and walked onto the field, into the screams of the crowd.
"Mount your brooms" they heard Madam Hooch yell, as they did so. Getting into position, they waited for the whistle. The balls were released, and then the shrill call, and the players were off. They were playing Ravenclaw, but thank god none of the Jumi's were on the team.
Speeding in a braid type pattern, the three chasers swept in and out with the Quaffle in their possession. Oracle, in hold of the Quaffle, tossed it overhead to Ginny, who tossed it down to Botan, who scored. 10-0. The game progressed from then on, scoring many more points within the area of hoops.
Harry still soared above, looking for the Snitch, as was the Ravenclaw seeker. So far, no luck. 70-20. Gryffindor in the lead.
As they went further into the game, Gryffindor was fowled for Hiei and Yusuke both hitting the same boy with a bat. 90-50.
A glitter in the corner told the chasers that the snitch was in sight. The girls all looked at each other, suddenly going an odd formation they had worked on in practice. They heard the dip of Harry's broom, and then that of the Ravenclaw seeker, as they made in for one last point before the end of the game. With a shot, a clasp, and a whistle, the game ended.
Gryffindor won. Well, no surprise there.
"Great job everyone!" Harry called as they all landed, the snitch held tightly. The final score was 250-50.
"I think Ravenclaw's losing their touch" Ron commented, since they had won by 200 points.
"Or we just have one hell of a team" Ginny smiled, as they were all cheered on by their housemates.
"With the tradition of Fred and George" Ron began, looking at his sister.
"PARTY IN GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM!" The two Weasleys called, as Gryffindor cheered more, and they all began to walk back up to the school.
"Should we go?" Yusuke asked.
"If you're forgetting, we have someone arriving tonight" Botan said, as Kurama and Yukina joined them.
"Right" Yusuke said quietly.
"Let's go then, prepare for her arrival!" Botan smiled, and the girls began pulling them all towards the common room, away from the party.
~*~*~
Keiko arrived that night with no complications, and everyone who met her understood she was a guest for Christmas from 'another' magic school, though she did not go to one. Yusuke had questioned her about the contest, and she had said she was going to be entering it, with the consent of Dumbledore.
Oracle had become fast friends with Keiko, and had spent the whole night with her making her costume for the contest. The guys had gone to bed early, Kurama staying up in the room to get a start on his Christmas homework, which Yusuke pointed out was a waste of time.
Otherwise, the night wasn't too much of a hassle, but the morning would be.
~*~*~
"Get up; come on, the auditions start in 30 minutes!" Oracle called as she knocked on all the girls' doors. Botan was helping with the guys. Keiko stepped out, dressed in a black, plaid skirt, with a long sleeved, cotton white shirt.
"Do we need our costumes for auditions?" She asked. Oracle shook her head.
"No, they just want to make sure everyone's songs are 'suitable for all ages'" Oracle said, using her bunny ears. Keiko nodded. Pearl, Esmeralda, Yukina, Sapphire, Opal, Diana, and Botan joined them in the common room, and Botan told them all that all the guys were nowhere to be found.
"Well, we'll see them at lunch, but we have to get going, come on" Oracle said, as they all walked into the hallway, and began running down the stairs. They were told to meet outside the Great Hall, though that's not where the auditions were taking place. The girls skid to a halt on the marble floor as they appeared in front of the doors. There were about twenty or so students, and the girls could make out Kurama's hair through the crowd.
"Wow, lot's of people trying out, huh?" Sapphire asked, as a group of three Slytherin boys passed with band equipment.
"Yeah, but, more fun to it, I suppose" Oracle smiled. Professor McGonagall showed up suddenly, and cleared her throat, gathering all of their attention.
"If you would all follow me" she said, turning around, and walking down the hallway. The crowd of students followed, stopping outside a door in an otherwise barren hallway.
"Now, until you are called in for your audition, you may wait here, doing whatever you wish. First up, Parkinson, Pansy" McGonagall said, and a brunette walked forward, her pig nose held high. The door closed, and the students settled themselves with leaning on walls or sitting on the floor.
People after people went through the door, then walked out of the hall, going to start holiday activities. Some people stayed behind to wish people luck, or figure out news from their friends. The group faded into the room, and soon, Esmeralda walked out, and the crowd left the corridor.
"Now that we have the auditions out of the way, how about we go and have some fun?" Oracle asked, her hand moving in flow with her words.
"What did you have in mind?" Keiko asked.
"Well…" she began, looking around, her eyes glinting orange in a mischievous light. "How about a snow war?" She asked.
"But it's not even snowing" Yusuke pointed out.
"Wanna bet?" Oracle smiled, looking over at her younger sister, Opal.
"It's going to snow" Opal said suddenly, her eyes turning an icy blue. Suddenly, in front of the large window at the end of the corridor, a snowflake fell, followed by another, then another, and another, and so on. They looked in awe as the first snow of the season fell, covering the school in a thin blanket of glittering frost. A winter wonderland.
~*~*~
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 updated PO8, aren't the readers of that just so happy?
Crystal: And this was just a 'fill in the gaps' chapter, hence the title. Sorry if I rushed through things a bit…but this chapter was really…blah for me. Hope you all enjoyed it anyway.
See ya around…
