Cheeto: OMG?! Could it be? My third story?!
Sensei: Indeed it is, Cheeto-san.
Cheeto: Woo hoo!! Alright! Alrighty then, let's get all the formalities out of the way:
** Tres Important! Regarde, mon amis!** - Hee hee! Je parle bein, non?
1- I don't own anything. Nadda. Nilch. I don't even own the clothes on my back! I'm borrowing them from my sister! ^-^
2-There is going to be NO YAOI in this story. I'm *not* anti-yaoi, I just don't write it. ^-^
3- Okay, let's pretend that everyone is fifth years. Forget the entire Harry Potter book (some people will remain or make appearances: Umbridge, the centaur teacher, the Order, etc.) And let's pretend that they're all 15, and this takes place roughly around the end of the first Dark Tournament in the YYH universe. There may be a few discrepancies, like things may pop up that don't happen until later in the series, but it'll all make sense. Just don't flame me over a few discrepancies. ^-^
4-This story is PG-13 due to strong language and violence. Don't worry, I'm not going to pop any lemons on you. Which leads me to my next point:
5- Couples: The usual: Keiko/Yusuke, Kuwabara/Yukina, Kurama/Botan, Hiei/??. I'm not sure what to do for matches for HP, so if you have any suggestions for any couples, feel free to e-mail me or review or whatever. But don't worry if you don't like the said couples, there isn't going to be much romance in this story anyways!
6- Erm . . .there is no six! Well, without further ado, onto the story!
Oh, wait. Let's just pretend everyone can speak English. It makes things less complicated. Blame the dubs. ^-^
*~Chapter One~*
Hiei lazily opened his crimson eyes, yawning as he shifted into a more comfortable position on the thick, rough branch he was sleeping on, when suddenly, a letter dropped into his lap.
The Jaganshi blinked, immediately straightening. He looked around for a deliverer the letter could have flown out of the hands of, but there was no one in the area. Dismissing it as trash, the demon began to toss it away when the sparkling emerald ink across the front of the envelope caught his eye.
The swirling handwriting read:
Mr. Hiei
The tree outside the window
3112 Sakura Drive
Tokyo
Japan
Against his better judgment, Hiei decided to open the letter. Ripping the crisp, crème colored envelope open, two letters slid out. Unfolding the first, he regarded it more than skeptically.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL
of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Hiei,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
The fire demon stared at it for a moment, then dropped it into his lap, grabbing the other paper enclosed and flipping it open. Inside was a long list of names and objects he had never heard before. Raising an eyebrow, Hiei carefully slid to the edge of the branch and tapped Kurama's window with the hilt of his katana. The fox appeared moments later, clutching a similar letter with the same confused expression.
"Koenma." They said in unison.
***
Yusuke strolled down the street, hands behind his head, breathing in the crisp summer air. It was late July, the hot summer days giving way to the coolness of Autumn, leaves beginning to turn different shades of yellow and orange, the sakura trees shedding their blossoms onto the unsuspecting heads of passersby's.
It had been an uneventful summer, few missions to interrupt the long break, and easy ones at that. Yusuke had seen little of Kurama and Kuwabara and hadn't seen Hiei the entire time, all seeming to be busy with jobs and whatnot. Yes, it had been a lazy vacation. Nothing but rest and relaxation.
"No nothing." He sighed heavily, smoothing down the hairs that had strayed with the gentle breeze.
"Man, this sucks!" he yelled suddenly, startling a few birds from the trees lining the empty street. "All fricken summer, nothing! No good missions, no major demon ass kicking, nothing!"
"I would have figured you'd like a little relaxation, Yusuke." The punk spun on his heel, turning to face a young, blue-haired woman hovering above the ground, casually sitting on a floating oar, smiling as if nothing about the scene could be deemed 'conspicuous.'
"Botan! Please, please tell me I have a mission!" The deity grinned.
"Never thought I'd hear those words out of your mouth, Yusuke Urameshi. Last time I remember, you were jumping up and down because of vacation."
"Very funny, Botan. Cut the crap."
"Well, if you're going to be rude, I don't think I'll tell you." She folded her arms across the front of her pink kimono, turning away from him with a mock stubborn expression set in her animated features .
"Botan!"
"Oh, alright." She giggled "Koenma has a new mission for you, and he says it's very urgent, so we have to leave immediately."
"Yes!" he yelled, pumping a fist into the air. "Finally, some action!"
***
"School?!" Yusuke demanded. "You're kidding, right? I ask for a real mission, and you send me to SCHOOL?!" The other detectives, who were standing in various places around the prince's paper cluttered office, sighed in resignation.
"This isn't just any school, Yusuke!" Koenma yelled back, pacifier nearly flying out of his mouth, "And going is not an option!"
"Koenma, sir, remember your blood pressure." George advised; Koenma settling back into his chair.
"As I was saying, I'll be sending you to a school in England: Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. You'll be entering as fifth years." The prince picked up a remote off his large, disorganized desk and pushed a small red button. The TV behind the detectives flickered on and a picture appeared on the large screen. They turned, blanching at the face.
Slitted, red, cat-like eyes stared back at them, a thin, almost reptilian smirk stretching across the slim, bony face, folding the ghostly white flesh into unpleasant dimples. No nose was to be seen, just two thin slices in its place that one would assume served as nostrils. A dark hood covered the rest of the skull and robes masked the shoulders, casting eerie shadows across the wicked features.
"And I thought the baka was the ugliest thing living."
"Shut-up shrimp!"
"This is Voldemort," Koenma began. "A very powerful wizard-"
"I think all those diaper fumes are getting to you," Yusuke said lamely. "There is no such thing as wizards."
"Just like there's no such thing as demons, Yusuke?" Kurama mused. The punk shot him a glare, but didn't say anything more.
"Thank you, Kurama." Koenma sighed. "Anyways, my sources have reported that there may be a demon attempting to infiltrate the school, and that demon may be attached to Voldemort in some way. Your mission is to weed out this demon and find put what he's up to, while keeping undercover and protecting the students. Particularly this one:" The prince lifted the remote and pushed a different button.
The screen went blank for a moment, the picture flipping from the snake-like man to a young boy about their age. His face was pale and bony, thick round glasses shielding vibrant, determined green eyes bright enough to compare with Kurama's. Disheveled black hair masked a large, lightning bolt looking scar in the center of his forehead. His shirt was clearly a few sizes too big; all together giving a lost puppy look.
"What a wimp." Yusuke and Kuwabara snickered.
"Watch yourself Yusuke." Said Koenma with a small grin. "That 'wimp' is one of the most powerful wizards on the earth. It's your mission to protect him." Yusuke was about to make a snide comment about 'If he is the most powerful wizard, why can't he protect himself' when Kuwabara cut him off.
"So what exactly are 'wizards'? I mean, I've read all the fairy tales, but . ." Koenma sighed deeply.
"Wizards are humans that posses above average spirit energy that manifests in different ways. They go to schools like Hogwarts to learn to control it." As if feeling another question coming on, he continued. "It shows itself in ways like Kuwabara's ability to hear ghosts, or Yusuke's incredible power and endurance. However, sometimes the children express it in random bursts of energy with unexpected results in times of danger. Most kids don't know they're 'magically inclined' until they receive that very letter." Yusuke looked down at the unopened letter in his hands Koenma was pointing to and frowned.
"Well, what's up with the whole 'turning people into toads' thing? Kuwabara and I can only do pure energy attacks."
"Their wands are made with different kinds of woods, and tidbits from demonic creatures like unicorns, phoenixes, and dragons. This allows them also to control demon energy, which embodies itself by controlling plants, fire, and a number of other things. " Kurama and Hiei nodded slightly. "They also use 'incantations' to help them control their power. They don't really *need* them, but it helps them concentrate; much like Yusuke yelling 'Spirit Gun' before he fires."
"Hey, not every time!" The punk yelled indignantly. Kuwabara wrinkled his brow in concentration, fingering his chin.
"So do wizards know anything about Makai or Reikai?"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "They're ningens. They think things like Kurama are 'mystical creatures.' Wizards and witches are completely clueless, just like the rest of your ignorant race."
"Thank you Hiei." Koenma said sharply. "But he's right. The only exception is probably Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, and Voldemort."
"Hang on a second." Yusuke said. "If this is about 'above average' spirit energy, then why didn't Kuwabara and I get letters way back when we would have been first years?"
"Well, Yusuke, if you hadn't died, your spirit energy probably never would have truly manifested. Kuwabara, well . . Genkai already had her eye on him."
"Wha-?" Kuwabara and Yusuke exchanged a puzzled look, but Koenma interrupted before they could ask any questions.
"With wands, you all should be able to do the basic spells and such. Your flight is on August twenty-fifth at eight A.M., here are your tickets." The toddler handed them six slips of colorful paper. Yusuke took them, fingering them with a quizzical expression.
"Koenma." Yusuke said slowly, like the toddler before him was a little on the slow side. "There are only *four* of us."
"Botan will be accompanying you."
"WHAT?!" The bubbly ferry girl grinned and flashed a two finger peace sign. "That's right, boys!"
"Oh, no."
"And *what* is that supposed to mean?!"
Kuwabara counted slowly on his fingers, holding up his hand. "That's still only five . ."
"Along with Yukina."
"ALRIGHT!" Kuwabara yelled, pumping his fist into the air. Yusuke and Kurama looked back at the fire demon standing behind them at the far end of the room, taking a careful step away.
"This is going to be one hell of a trip." Yusuke muttered.
