A/N: Welcome to the story that never ends. Until it does. We'll tell you when that happens. -to quote Adult Swim. Meaning, this might end up being a little longer that I thought, having a spent a whole chapter just on DADA class. Oops.
Anyway, time to get back to what's happening with Kuwabara and Botan!
~*~*~*~ In the Hufflepuff Common Room ~*~*~*~*~
"Come on Kuwabara! We're going to be late to breakfast!" Botan yelled through the door to Kuwabara's room. Inside, Kuwabara finished brushing his teeth, gurgled and came out.
"Do you think these robes make me look bad? I like blue better." He said, shutting the door behind him. The two walked through the empty Hufflepuff common room, into the hallway outside. Then they walked down to the Great Hall, stopping every so often to pull Kuwabara out of a magical step or to turn around after getting lost. When they finally got there, half the students were already gone.
"Eat quick Kuwabara-chan, class starts in eight minutes and it takes about four to get there." Botan said, sitting down and grabbing a biscuit.
"Wado eha?" Kuwabara said though a mouthful of food. Botan just ignored him, so he swallowed and then said again, "What do we have?"
"That's better!" she answered smiling. Pilling out her class list, she continued to eat while she checked their class. "Well, looks like we have Transfiguration, then. Ohhh! Care of Magical Creatures! I can't wait to see the animals!" she drank some pumpkin juice, thinking about unicorns. Then she suddenly slammed down her glass and looked at her watch. "Kuwabara! We're going to have to leave now. Two minutes till class. I'm going ahead to get seats." With that she stood, and walked towards the marble staircase.
Kuwabara swallowed his food and mumbled a "what ever Botan-chan. I'll eat a little more first."
Seven minutes later (late for class) Kuwabara burst into the Transfiguration classroom, huffing for breath. "I. made. it. finally!" He yelled in between breaths. Looking around the room, he noticed Botan with an empty seat next to her. Walking towards her, he looked around the room. "Man, good thing the teacher isn't here yet. Oh wow!" he said, just about to sit down. "Look Botan, a kitty!" Kuwabara ran up to the gray and black striped cat, and was about to pick it up when it transformed. The cat turned into a woman with green and black robes, and with a stern look on her face. Kuwabara took a step backwards.
"Mister Kuwabara, please take your seat." The woman said. Once Kuwabara had backed his way to his seat, she continued. "I, Professor McGonagall, would like to welcome," she looked at Botan, "Or welcome you back to Hogwarts. I hope you liked your homework free summer, because starting today you will have homework." Kuwabara moaned, and Professor McGonagall glared at him. "Now to get starts."
~*~After Class~*~ "Wow that was hard, Botan-chan! Man, that teacher hates me I swear." Kuwabara said walking down to Care of Magical Creatures with Botan and the other Hufflepuffs.
"Maybe that's because you fell asleep twice, couldn't do anything, not even keep up with what she was saying, AND you called her 'Mrs.' instead of 'Professor.'" Botan replied, stepping sideways to miss a disappearing stone step.
"Oh well, I should do okay in the next class, its just animals, right?" Kuwabara asked, also sidestepping. Although it didn't register in his mind, it was the first time he missed one of these steps.
"I think so, but who knows." Botan said, sighing. Once they got down to Hagrid's hut, they had to wait a couple of minutes for Hagrid to finish what he was doing to prepare for class. Once he was done, Hagrid walked though his house to the front. Opening the front door, he accidentally let Fang out.
Kuwabara, who had been talking to Botan, was standing closest to the doorway at this time. Unluckily for Kuwabara, he was not facing the doorway or Fang. Being so spiritually aware, he felt Fang coming towards him. But he also felt Hagrid's strength and thought these strengths belonged to Fang. Kuwabara opened his hand, and an orange/yellow colored spirit energy in the shape of a sword came out. Kuwabara turned around trying to kill the 'demon' that was attacking him.
At the last moment Botan yelled, and Kuwabara's Spirit Sword swung higher than he had planned; missing Fang entirely. Kuwabara fell over as Fang bounded onto him, and his spirit sword disappeared. "Ey, Fang! Get 'ver 'ere, now! Fang!" Hagrid came bounding over and pulled Fang off Kuwabara. Then he half threw Fang into his hut, closing the door. Turning to Kuwabara he said, "Sorry, 'bout that. Fang's nice, just a 'lil big."
"It's. erm, okay," said Kuwabara standing up. Kuwabara then walked back to the other students, but all except Botan stepped away from him. "What's up?" he asked when they kept moving away.
"You. you're a. a. a demon!" said one of the boys, still backing up. Kuwabara stopped walking and laughed. His hand reached up and he shook his hair.
"No way, only Kurama and Hi." WHAM. Kuwabara was smacked in the back of the head by Botan's oar. (A/N: where does she keep that thing? Scary.) "Ow. What was that for Botan?" he asked, rubbing the two-inch bump on his head.
"Baka! No students know Hiei and Kurama are demons," she whispered in his left ear. Her hand was raised so that the other students would not be able to hear her.
"Ooohhh.. "Botan stepped away from Kuwabara, and then looked to the other students.
"This bak. idiot isn't a demon!" she laughed a little bit, an extremely fake laugh. However, the other students seemed to be buying it. "What gave you that idea?" she asked in a happy voice. No one spoke for a couple of minutes, but then a small sized girl took one-step forward and pointed at Kuwabara's hand.
"A bright light, like a sword, came from his hand." She said in a soft, trembling voice.
Kuwabara got a light bulb above his head. "My spirit swo-"WHAM. Botan hit him again, making the two-inch bump into a four-inch one.
"They don't know about your spirit weapons either," she said, trying to think of a good reason they didn't see the sword. Turning again to the class in general, she said, "it's a new trick from the Joke Shop." She said. Afterwards, none of the students seemed afraid of Kuwabara; but some still wouldn't go close behind him.
"Can I start my class now?" Hagrid asked. The class turned and nodded. "Good, now today and for a couple of weeks we'll be workin' on."
~*~ After Class ~*~
"Well, it isn't quite the type of animal I thought we would be working with, but they're okay." Botan said, walking back up to the school. Kuwabara, who had been walking behind her, stepped forward.
"Threstrals, what type of animal is that? It looked like just skin and bones!" he said, tightening his grip on his books as they walked up to the large oak doors.
"Well, they came from the Spirit World. We called them "Death Horses." Us Grim Reapers used to ride them instead of our oars, but we let them go a while ago." Botan answered, her normally loud voice quiet for once.
"You used to ride those things? Ewwww." Kuwabara said. For a moment, neither spoke. Then Kuwabara began to speak again. "Hey, did you know any of those animals?"
Botan sighed, waiting a minute for a group of Ravenclaws to pass. "Yes, they have a great sense of smell. The first one was the one I used to ride. She must have smelt my scent. Or t just could have been the meat, who knows." Kuwabara didn't continue the conversation, so one the Ravenclaws passed the two of them and they rest of the Hufflepuffs continued to their next class.
A/N: Whoop! Go me; I'm going to Hammonasset for a weekend. It's a Church thing, but it'll rock, I know it will.
Okay, so are people happy? We learned that Botan is doing well, while Kuwabara. well, he's not. Sorry if people don't like my idea for the Threstrals. I like it. If you don't, I'll take flames. But I'd much rather have kind, happy reviews!
