Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
A/N: Ok continuing on. I just realized that it's only been two days of school so far I think so fast forward!
Two months pass by uneventful.
Kurama was the first to wake up on the last day of November. It was a Friday and as Kurama looked outside he noticed the first snow had fallen last night. He quickly dressed and went down to the Great Hall, wanting to have breakfast and a little time to do homework before classes.
Kurama ended up unable to get any work done after breakfast, for a notice was finally given out on when the next Hogsmead trip would be for the upper year students. When Yusuke asked, Harry told him that Hogsmead was a town that the students went to for some free time. The town was full of joke shops, a post office, a tavern, and many other places.
"Hey you guys, we have Potions in three minutes. We better get going." Kurama said, standing up and walking towards the door. For some reason, the words of Botan came to mind at that point in time.
Professor Snape is very angered with Kuwabara. He's unable to do almost any of the potions assigned, and he seems to be purposefully "attacking" Kuwabara, so to say. I just hope he doesn't lower my grade because I work with him!
Kurama had noticed the same thing with Harry. And after Botan had told him this little bit of information, Kurama had noticed even more how Professor Snape would "attack" Harry, getting mad at only him when he messed up. Yusuke had a couple of slip ups, but they always seemed to go unnoticed.
Coming out of his thoughts, Kurama noticed they were already at the door to the classroom, if it could be called one. A dungeon, walls covered with animal and plant parts used for potions, the classroom seemed more of a torture chamber than classroom.
Sitting down next to Hiei (They had potions with the Slytherins) Kurama watched as Harry, Hermione and Ron sat together. The blonde haired Malfoy looked back at them.
"Look it's not-so-famous-anymore Potter and his pathetic friends. Why do you bother to even come to class, Potter? You know you are going to fail." A couple of Slytherins laughed at Malfoy's jokes, but everyone went silent when Professor Snape entered the room viva his office door.
Kurama had noticed that Pro. Snape could make a room go silent, but not in the same way Dumbledore was able to. All eyes focused in on the teacher.
"Today we will be working on a potion called Fatal Healer. This potion, as the name suggests, is able to heal wounds from a paper cut to a slash in the stomach. You all will make a potion individually, no partners. Ingredients are on the board, as are the instructions. Get started!" Pro. Snape yelled before sitting at his desk and staring out at the class, mostly at Harry.
Everyone stood and retrieved the many ingredients needed for the task, then each sat back down. Kurama looked to the board where the first step read: Heat cauldron to 98oC and pour in 3 cups of water." Kurama followed the steps, then began to prepare the newt tails and lamb eyes. Raven feathers were to be added last, and only after thirty seconds of stirring.
Ten minutes later, just before handing in his completed potion, Kurama reached back into his long red mane and pulled out an unidentifiable seed. Dropping the seed into the potion, Kurama quickly poured it into a small container and briskly brought it to the front desk. Then he returned to his seat as Pro. Snape yelled at Harry for messing something up. Flicking his wand at the potion, it evaporated into nothingness. Harry, looking gloomy, sat back down on the stool.
Another half hour later and almost the whole class had finished with that nights homework, a two page piece on the Fatal Healer. Kurama and Hiei both sat, doing nothing. In his head, Kurama counted down the seconds until the bell rang. Still having two minutes to go, Pro. Snape stood once again and stepped before the class.
"Now, I have all these potions but I need a way to test them. I would like to make a small cut with a knife and then pour a little of each potion onto the wound. If you have all followed the directions, nothing should happen. Are there any volunteers?" Pro. Snape looked around, obviously hoping that no one would raise there hand. He seemed to be grinning evilly at Harry.
Kurama had a study hall next block and nothing to do. So he calmly raised his hand. At the same time he noticed Hiei also raising his hand. Smiling to himself, Kurama stared into Pro. Snape's eyes.
"What? You two want to volunteer?" He was clearly furious. Not able to think of anything else to say, he beckoned them to the front of the room. "The rest of you go to your next class." With that, he quickly turned and entered his office. A moment later he came out holding a knife.
Anyone besides a teacher under Dumbledore who was holding a knife and plainly mad, Kurama would not have gone anywhere near. But Kurama trusted Dumbledore's choices, as well as Koenma's; Koenma also trusted Dumbledore.
Kurama stepped towards Pro. Snape, ready to continue. Pro. Snape nodded, and made a small cut on Kurama's arm. Hiei stood behind him, hands in his pockets. Pro. Snape took hold of one of the potions, letting a drop fall into Kurama's arm. It quickly healed. Pro. Snape made another mark on Kurama's arm, then another potion. Four potions later, and it was Hiei's turn.
Hiei stepped forward and took one hand out of his pocket. Pro. Snape made a small mark on his arm and used another potion to heal it. Except it didn't heal. It didn't do anything at all.
"What? Who's is this." looking at the bottle, it read "Neville" Professor Snape chuckled. "You're lucky you got away with nothing happening Mr. Jagan. Most times, Neville makes a huge explosion with his potions, or anything else he does for that matter. Placing the bottle off to the side, he began again.
Half way through the potions, and Kurama was once again getting cut. Professor McGonagall stepped into the classroom silently. Seeing Professor Snape seemingly holding a student at knife point, she yelled out to him.
"Severus!" Professor Snape was about to place the knife on the table when Professor McGonagall spoke up. Snape quickly turned, and made a small gash in Kurama's side. Both Hiei and Kurama had looked to Professor McGonagall when she entered, and neither noticed the cut.
"Minerna! What is it?" Snape said, staring at Professor McGonagall. She looked very stressed out for some reason.
"What are you doing, Severus?" she asked quickly, her eyes on the knife.
"This?" Snape held up the knife. "I'm testing a potion the students made. I asked for volunteers and these two stepped forward. What is it you want?"
McGonagall let out a rather large sigh. She wiped her brow and then stepped closer. "Oh, nothing important. Just information on all the Quiditch matches that are coming up." She took a quick glance at Kurama's side, the stared at it. "Oh Mr. Minimaro, you're bleeding!"
Kurama looked to his side, where the cut was. A little blood, in his opinion at least, had fled his body. He calmly reached over all the potions, and picked up his own. Taking off the top, he poured out one drop on the cut.
" Mr. Minimano, you're going to need more potion than that. Maybe six or seven drops. Not one, that's not enough." But as he spoke, the wound began to heal itself. The blood seemed to disappear off of his robes and the cut reformed into tight skin. Even Kurama's outfit sew itself back together. In moments it looked as though nothing had happened.
"Who's potion is that?" Snape asked, taking hold of the potion. Hiei sighed quietly behind Kurama.
"It's mine, Professor." Kurama said in his normal voice.
"How is it so strong? Did you put in extra ingredients? Or maybe larger quantities of what I said?" He seemed amazed by the simple potion.
"No, I did exactly as you said. Nothing special." Kurama had not planned on having to use his potion in such a way, and he didn't want to tell the Professor about his seed.
"There is no way, boy, that you were able to make such a powerful potion with only the ingredients I said. I made the same potion last night, and mine wasn't even that strong. You had to do something extra. Tell me boy, what was it?" Snape was up in Kurama's face now, his face twisted in a way that made him look as if he had gone mad.
Kurama heard Hiei begin to growl behind him [A/n: Just me, or does everyone make Hiei "growl." He's not a dog.] so he quickly answered.
"No sir, only what you said. Although I might have accidentally put in a little extra of each. I would have to make it again to be sure." Kurama tried to smile politely.
Snape himself seemed to be growling under his breath. "Fine, then the two of you can get to your next class. Get out." Kurama and Hiei quickly moved towards the door.
Once outside the room, Hiei began to speak. "Do you know how much my hand itched for a katana just now?" he chuckled evilly. "Although if I had one, that man would be dead right now."
"Hiei calm down. It was only a potion. I made a careless mistake, putting in that seed. I wanted to see what affect the potion would have on it, I didn't think of what effect it might have on the potion." Kurama smiled, pulling his bag over his shoulder.
"So you did use a seed. I thought I saw you put something extra in. I'm surprised you could make a mistake, fox." Hiei once again had his hands in his pocket.
"Everyone makes mistakes, Hiei. Now come on, it's almost time for our third class. What do you have?" Kurama asked, taking the steps up to History of Magic.
"Care of Magical Creatures with that oaf Hagrid. I don't see how Harry and his friends can care about that huge man." Hiei started to walk in the opposite direction, down towards the front door.
"Well, many find it hard to believe you care about Yusuke. And don't start telling that you don't care, because I know you do." Kurama waved back behind himself without turning, beginning to walk up a case of stone stairs.
A/N: Yup. I got done with a little chapter that, if this plot goes according to plan, will mean something later in the storie. So please review!
