The Slytherian first years were supposed to be following some 'prefect guy?' But the only perfect guy that Kagura knew was Kyou, and she was starting to miss him.

She headed out after the Gryffindors. "Kyou! Where are you going? I can't let you sleep in a room with other woman, I just can't," she said. There were tears in her large blue gray eyes. Her lower lip was trembling.

Kyou froze and slowly turned to look at her.

"I missed you so much at dinner," she said. "Why didn't you come and sit with ME!" The last word was more of an angery snarl as she shot foreword and clocked him in the mouth.

"DAMM YOU! WHY DON"T YOU LOVE ME!" she demanded.

Kyou took off running, but didn't get very far. Kagura seized him and smashed his into the wall several times.

"Stop that right now," the Gryffindor perfect ordered.

"Oh, don't mind them. They've been like this as long as I can remember," Shigure said brightly from behind the perfect. "Kagura is in love with Kyou, this is just her particular way of showing her affection." He smiled, but the perfect didn't.

"I have a Slytherian student attacking a Gryffindor student. I am going to go get a teacher," he snapped.

"Oh, by all means, feel free," Shigure said. He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. "What did you say your name was?" He tried to look innocent, but failed.

"What are you up too?" the perfect asked susupiciously.

Shigure fingered the tip of his nose lightly. "Kagura, I think that you should go find Yuki and the others in Slytherian. You wouldn't want to get lost now would you?" he asked.

Kagura stopped beating on Kyou. "Oh, right. See you tomorow, Kyou!" she exclaimed and then kissed the barely concious boy on the mouth. "Love you, bye-bye!"

Then she was gone.

"Now, what did you say your name was?" Shigure asked. Maybe, just maybe he had found another person to play pranks on.

Tohru wandered down a hall - lost. The Hufflepuffs had been following their perfect and she had somehow gotten seperated. Now she was in a stuffy dark corridor that streched out in all directions and had no doors.

She was cluthching her hat to her chest, tears rolling down her face when she heard the first signs of trouble.

There was a scraping noise - like nails on a chalk board - coming rapidly down the corridor. Sparks were flying from the end of a metal bar that was scraping along the wall.

Tohru screamed. The bar was floating all by itself. Despite her terror, the usually happy girl couldn't move.

There was a loud pop, and a little man with wicked, dark eyes and a wide mouth appeared, floating cross-legged in the air, clutching the metal bar.

"OOOOoooooh!" he said, with an evil cackle. "Ickle Firstiy all alone! What fun!" He swooped at her suddenly. She screamed and ducked.

The 'thing' was flying towards her again. Tohru got to her feet and ran! She ran and ran and ran.

CRASH! she collided with a suit of armor. Seeing the armor gave her an idea. Within seconds she was wearing the armor and carefully hidden from sight. *What is that thing?* she wondered.

There was a zooming noise and she heard a voice. "Ickle Firsty, where are you?" She didn't answer. Silent tears of fear were dripping off her face.

"Peeves, what are you doing here?" she heard an old voice say.

"There's an ickle firsty out of bed," Peeves the poltergeist said.

"You don't say," the old voice said again.

Tohru didn't dare move. She heard them move away from her hiding place, but wasn't sure that they were gone. She refused to move until she knew it was safe.

Weary from the days events, she fell asleep in the suit of armor.

"Madam Pomfrey tried to make Hatori go to bed, but the young boy refused. "I'll stay here and keep an eye on him," he said subbornly.

"It'll only take a couple of moments and then he'll be all better," the witch said waving her hand dissmissively. She seemed to find Hatori's concern amusing.

She started to mix several ingrediats together. "There," she said once she was done mixing. She took the liquid over to a slightly delerious Akito.

She tried to make him open his mouth, but he bit her hand. "Get away from me," he hissed.

Hatori sighed. It was the same as at the main house. Akito wouldn't let anyone treat him except the dragon.

"What is that?" he asked the witch.

"It's a draught that'll make his fevor go away," Madam Pomfrey said. She was clutching her bleeding hand to her bossom.

"Well, then give it to me, and I'll have him take it."

"Is he the same as the other boy? The one with the silver hair, Sohma, I believe was the name. . . . ." Madam Pomfrey asked.

Hatori shook his head. "He'll listen to no one except himself. He's always been like that, and I don't imagine that will change anytime soon. However, he trust me to take care of his illnesses, and I do my best to keep him healty. He'll drink the draught if I ask him to."

The witch seemed to consider that for a moment. "Make him drink it in two gulps and pinch his nose on the second one," she said.

Hatori gave the medicine to Akito. "How long before the medicine takes hold?" the dragon asked.

Madam Pomfrey nodded to the bed where Akito was already better and sitting up. "Nearly instantaneous," she said. "Now off to bed with the both of you."

Hatori hesitated by the door. "Arigatou," he said. "And just as a warning, Akito is sick for long periods of time. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of him, and if he gives you any trouble at all, send for me."

Madam Pomfrey nodded and made a shoing motion once more. Hatori nodded and closed the door behind him.

"Are you okay?" he asked Akito.

"Of course," the head of the family sneered.

They made their way first back to the Great Hall, but since it was empty, they headed out on their own.

"Just how do you expect to find the Slytherian house without any help?" Akito snapped.

Hatori didn't answer. Within a couple of moments they were heading down towards the dungeons.

The cooridors were damp, which was disturbing for Hatori. It would make it much easier for Akito to get sick if it were damp and cold.

He stopped by a strech of blank wall that had a chalk outline of a white snake drawn on it. "Well, here we are," he said softly.

He had asked Aya to put a snake beside the door to the Slytherian common room, but it seemed like the snake had gotten confused.

The wall opened and Aya popped out. "Oh, Tori-san! I thought that you might have gotten lost."

"I'll take Akito-san -" he started to say, but Akito had pushed past him and was walking up the stairs to his room.

"Good night," Hatori said. "Go to sleep, and don't even think about sneaking out. Not tonight, at least not tonight."

It was only several moments later that he realized that he didn't know where his common room was. He had been too busy thinking of Akito and had forgotten to think about himself once again.

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Momiji cried loudly as soon as he realized that he had lost Tohru, but there was nothing he could do. The girl was gone, and he didn't want to be grabbed and hugged by the perfect - Jessica Wetick. She had threatened to put him in a great big bear hug if he dissappeared from the group of Hufflepuffs.

She was built like a bear too! She had to be at least seven feet tall, and she was twice as wide as Momiji was, maybe even three times as large, but she wasn't fat. Just big.

Momiji stopped crying as soon as she had offered him a hug to comfort him. The Hufflepuffs seemed like a very touchy feely type of people. Momiji was silent as he followed them down the hall.

If he wasn't careful one of the "Hugglepuffs" was going to find out about his secret. He didn't want that to happen. In fact that would be bad with Akito so close. He didn't want Akito mad at him, but all the same he wanted Tohru to be safe.

"Wetick, ma'am, do you think that. . . . well, you see that Honda-san -" he began again.

The procession came to a stop in front of a picture of a fuzzy bunny wearing a pink ribbon.

"This is the enterance to our common room. Everyone listen closely. I'm going to tell you the password," Wetick said. "Honey Bunny."

Momiji choked. "Honey Bunny," he repeated.

"Yes," Wetick said.

The portrait of the bunny swung open revealing a cheery looking room filled with plush chairs and bright colors.

Momiji entered the room with a look of glee on his face. He ran from one end of the room to the other. Touching and feeling everything. He forgot - for a moment - about his missing friend.

The Slytherian common room was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling from which round, greeish lamps were hanging on chains. A fire was crackling under an elaborately carved mantelpiece.

Hana sat in on of the high-backed chairs by the fire, her violet eyes traveling across the group of third and fourth years who she was playing cards with. "You really suck at this," she said simply as she won for the eightith time in a row.

She spotted Yuki heading up the stairs and caught his attention with a slight electric shock and a soft shout. "Sohma-san, you should join us. It's more fun with more people."

Yuki came over. "I'll have to decline this time Hana-kun. I believe that I'll get some sleep before classes start tomorow. You should probably do the same."

Hana didn't say anything as the young boy headed up the stairs to his room. "Strange boy," she said after he was gone.

"Ahem, we're going to bed too," one of the third years said nervously. Within a couple of moments they had all fled from her company.

Hana raised an eyebrow and sat in the chair, looking spooky until Aya came prancing down the stairs.

He opened the door and let in Akito. Hana listened to the conversation he had with Hatori, and watched Akito go to bed.

Then she stood up and walked to her room slowly.

Entering she noted the four four-poster beds with the fluffy pillows and green and silver bedspreads.

"That won't do at all," she said softly. She pulled her wand out from her sleeve and set about making the room perfect.

She only used a simple color changing spell, but the effect was just what she wanted. Now the room looked like it was supossed too - dark and mysterious.

Then she changed into her silk black nightgown and climbed into the bed. Within moments, she was asleep.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Kisa fell into her four poster bed. It had been a long day with tons of things happening. Probably the most exciting thing, or at least unusual thing had been when Haru had gotten placed into two houses. Or maybe it was when the chocolate frog had moved. Sleepily she closed her eyes.

The bed shifted slighting and her eyes opened. Frost climbed into the bed with her. "What the hell!" she heard Uotani shout. The blond girl pulled her long wand out and prepared to hit the tiger with it.

"Wait! Frost is my pet!" Kisa exclaimed. Her roomates, Uotani and a couple of other girls, were looking at her skeptically and a little fearfully. Kisa leaned back and patted the bed beside her. "Lay down and sleep," she told Frost.

"Can you explain that better?" Uotani fianlly demanded. The other three girls were backing away from Kisa.

"The paper said that we could bring an OWL or a CAT or a TOAD," Kisa said. "I brought a cat. It's really no big deal. If they didn't want tigers here, then they shouldn't have put 'cat' as a pet option."

Uotani sighed and put her wand away. "You Soumas really are strange," she commented before climbing into bed herself. "You!" she added, pointing at the other three girls. "The tigers trained only to attack boys so you don't have to worry," she lied. Of course she hoped that it was the truth.

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Haru, who had turned black on the way to Gryffindor house, was now climbing the staircase in the Slytherian house.

He entered his room, noting that only half of his stuff was in the room. Then he noted that both Aya and Akito were in the room.

"This can't be my room," he said firmly.

"Why not?" Aya asked. "And where's Yuki-kun?" The silver haired boy was wearing a frilly night dress with small snakes twisted into heartlike shapes.

"I don't know, but - " Haru began. He was starting to gain back the anger that had been bleeding off while he had been searching for his other bed.

"Just get in the bed and be quiet," Akito hissed.

Haru froze as Aya bounced for the door. "Where are you going?" he asked as he got into his bed like Akito had ordered.

"To look for Yuki-kun, of course," Aya said. Then he was out the door and Haru was alone with Akito once again.

'This is really starting to piss me off,' Haru thought angerily.

A/notes,

Well, now I have a question. Just who should be the new defense against the dark arts teacher?

This is set during Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and I hope to have it completed by June, but I need a teacher. Any suggestions?

Please R&R!!!!

Thanks for reading,
Kissa-chan
