HOGGY'S WARTZ
It was a bright, new day as Kimberly woke up in Hogwart's Castle. She was especially perky and cheerful, and her roommates noticed. They threw a couple of pillows at her.
"Whats WRONG with you? Flitwick's teaching us a new spell today!" one of them scowled.
"Yeah, and that means more work." said the other.
"Stupid charms."
"Quite."
Kimberly paused and turned to them, smiling brightly.
"But today is the day we learn Summoning Charms, de gozaru."
"SHUT UP WITH THE DE GOZARU!!!"
She grinned for a moment, and said mischieviously: "Why, de gozaru?"
Kochi, who happened to be Japanese, frowned at her.
"Thats not even proper Japanese."
"So? ....de gozaru."
"STOP IT!"
Kimberly dodged more pillows and hopped out of the door holding one of her shoes. She sighed to herself. "Its not good to annoy your roommates...de..oh, forget it." she muttered to herself quietly, the smile fading a bit. Usually, we get along so well. I guess since they're so miserable, they don't want to see me so happy..especially after their last grade in potions...But I won't stop! I have a right to be happy! Today.... "Today....," she said aloud, pausing to stare at the bright orange fire in the Gryffindor girl's common room. So red....like....
She spun around, posing dramatically with a peace sign and a huge grin. "Today! I shall summon a wanderer!"
"Um, Kim?" came Lavender's voice. "What are you doing down here in your pajamas?"
'Oro!' she thought inwardly, but supressed it so she wouldn't annoy another of her friends. "....Oops."

Heart pounding, Kim turned all her attention to the tiny professor as the students filed in. Flitwick noticed her excitement and laughed at her. "Eager today, aren't we Miss Xie?"
Kimberly nodded feverently causing her hair to flop in front of her face. A couple of students came in and at once dashed to Professor Flitwick to ask about the previous homework standards, taking his attention off of her. Hurry up! Come on already! she thought impaciently as the students slowly walked into the classroom in groups of 2s and 3s. She wanted to start the lesson as soon as possible. I'll get it on my first try...'she thought determindly. Maybe even before Hermione Granger!
After 2 more minutes, all the students were finally inside, and Flitwick began his climb up the top of his book pile so he could see over the podium. 'Come on, come on, professor!' she pleaded silently. Flitwick stood up on the top of the books and cleared his throat.
"All right, all you chatterboxes, quiet down now!" The giggling died down. Kim sniffed in indignation. 'Behave! This is important, you guys!'
"As you all know, we will be learning Summoning Charms today!" Flitwick announced, clapping his hands and nodding at the students. "Summoning Charms are one of the basic spells, used to summon objects to a wizard or witch's will..."
Kimberly sat there, rapt attention. But after a while, she felt downtrodden. 'Please, hurry up, Professor!' Then, finally, they were about to perform the spell!
"Picture the object in your mind..." he announced. Kimberly felt a twinge of panic.
Object?
"Clearly now, remember the details..."
Oh well. Who cares if he's not exactly an object...
"Focus!"
Brilliant red hair...violet eyes....
"Raise your wands!"
Cheerful nature...'
"The incantation, accio, say it properly!"
Cross shaped scar...'
"3"
Hiten Mitsurugi....
"2"
Reverse blade sword, sakabatou!
"1!"
BAM!
"ORO!"
................ The class stared.....

A stunned silence. Then.... "I DID IT! I DID IT!!!" Kimberly shrieked in joy. The red haired man jerked at the shout. The class stared. A few seats away, Harry took off his glasses to wipe, as the bang of all the spells had raised a lot of dust. He stared at the red haired lady sitting on Kim's desk. She's...sort of pretty... he thought, then nudged Ron with his elbow. "Who's that girl?" he muttered. Ron stared at him in disbelief. "Harry, hate to break it to you, but that's a man." Harry spluttered and hurriedly put on his glasses. Ron squinted at the nervous being and said slowly, "At least, I think he is."
"Oro, where am I, de gozaru?" the red haired man said nervously, looking around. Kimberly stared at him in rapture and said slowly, "You're in Hogwartz, Kenshin-sama." Kenshin jerked again. "Warts, de gozaru??" Lavender Brown and Patty Patil over came their shock and rushed up to the desk, almost causing the startled rurouni to yelp and fall backwards.
"He's so... so beautiful," they said in awe. Even through his nervousness, the swordsman twitched. Beautiful? Kimberly came to his aid. "Handsome," she said pertly, and hugged his arm. Kenshin "Oro"ed as he almost lost balance again, but she paid no attention. "Extremely handsome," she said again. Lavendar and Patty ignored her as well.
"Look at his face!"
"It's so clean! And white! Like its pure, or something..."
"No warts, pimples, nothing!"
"Except for that ugly scar..."
Kimberly shot them a glare to hush them up about his old wound. She knew the story that went with it. Kenshin seemed ignorant, however, and asked again, "Warts? What are warts, de gozaru?"
Lavendar dashed over and grabbed an acne-covered boy, who tried to evade her grasp but her glare was enough to make him obedient. She dragged him over, and plopped him over to Kenshin, who gave a loud "Oro!" and leaned backwards away from the boy. Overcoming his surprise, Kenshin said hesitantly, "Forgive me for asking, but what disease is that, de gozaru?"
The boy turned bright red, and Kim poked Kenshin's shoulder. "No disease, Kenshin! You see..." as Kimberly launched into a long lecture of how students here got acne, Hermione couldn't stand it.
"Look here, Professor Flitwick!" The tiny professor blinked and turned to Hermione, who was motioning impatiently to her pillow, which she had summoned from her bed. "Ah, good job Miss Granger, 10 points," he peeped absent mindedly and turned his attention back to Kimberly and Kenshin, who looked confused at her explaining.
After Kenshin sat there dumbstruck, Kimberly laid her hand on his reassuringly and said brightly, "Professor?"
The tiny old man blinked. "Class is, um..." she tapped her imaginary watch. "Ah!" he cried. "Alright then, class dismissed. Remember to practice the movement, everyone!"
The students took this all in and slowly began to start their normal chatter, but everyone peered curiously at the red haired rurouni and the proud Kimberly. Kenshin looked nervous from all the attention, so Kimberly grabbed his hand and rushed out the door, dragging Kenshin with her, escaping the gawking students.
Pit pat pit pat-
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see, hold on Kenshin."
I can't.... I can't believe...
"Whoa! Kim, what, who's-"
"No time to explain!"
I can't believe....he's really here...
Pit pat pit pat-
Kenshin Himura.....
This is...
"Um, please, could you let me down, de gozaru?"
"Gomenasai. In a bit! We need to get to-"
This is going to be so great!
WHAM! As they went around the corner, Kimberly collided with another classmate and Kenshin went flying, narrowly missing a suit of armor holding a rather authentic spear.
"Oroooroooorooo....."
'This is going to be so great!'

x_x That was difficult to write. I all seemed so funny in my head.....thats my trouble as a writer, conveying the image. Oro. *bonks herself on the head*. I know Kenshin didn't really seem that active...(mainly being dumbstruck and nervous) but he'll start to get his old attitude in later chapters. ^_^
Notes:
As some of you are extreme Harry Potter fans, you might remember that Summoning Charms were introduced in your 4th year, and were NOT basic, they were quite hard and Harry and company were studying them for their exams. You might also recall that Harry used the Summoning Charm to summon his Firebolt in his first Triwizard Challenge. Yes, the incantaion IS accio, but J.K.Rowling didn't really tell the movement. All she wrote was: "they raised their wands", etc. This is majorly AU concerning the wizarding world too, because right now, Kimberly and all the other students are still only in their 2nd year. ^_^ You'll see some stuff later on concerning the events of the Second book.
