Disclaimer: If a genie gave me three wishes, I would wish that YYH is mine,
that HP is mine, and for a really cool car (orange). But, sadly, I have
found no genie, so YYH and HP aren't mine.
Sami-san: I don't like chapters that aren't well thought out as well, but I have about ten pages of this story written up already, so I just have to type up a chapter, I don't have to write it. Once I have to start writing the chapters again, the updates should come farther apart. OK?
For everyone that wants longer chapters, here's a pretty long one.
Chapter Three: Onto Hogwarts!!
"C'mon Hiei," called Kurama as he pushed his trolley through the busy crowd. "We're going to be late! We still have to find Platform 9 ¾."
"So that's why we've been trekking around this bloody station for a quarter of an hour? you should have just asked me." Hiei abruptly stopped and pointed at the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. "That walls an illusion. Just watch those ningen." The people that Hiei was talking about was a group of four people who all had black hair. Two were tall boys, who looked to be about 15. One, the taller of the two, had shoulder-length black hair and ice blue eyes. The other who was laughing and joking with the first, had dark hair that stuck up in all directions and glasses. The other two were obviously the second boy's parents. He had definitely inherited his parents looks. The two boys were pushing trolleys with large trunks on them. The trolleys also had covered cages that obviously contained some kind of bird, probably and owl. The boys, then the adults casually leaned against the barrier and abruptly disappeared through the barrier.
"C'mon fox," said Hiei, mimicking the tone that Kurama had used with him just a few minutes earlier. He didn't look back, just chuckled as Kurama muttered under his breath about cocky fire demons with three eyes and followed closely after Hiei. Hiei, then Kurama disappeared through the barrier. Kurama almost crashed into Hiei when the fire demon stopped in awe of the sight before him.
"Inari..." breathed Kurama as he stared at the hundreds of people that were crowded along the barrier. Lots of the crowd of people, most in wizards robes, were children of various ages, but many of them were adults. In the middle of all of this chaos was a large locomotive with the Hogwarts crest on its door.
"Lets go find a compartment," said Kurama, interrupting Hiei, who was sending a death glare at anyone and everyone that just so happened to be looking his way. Hiei grunted and followed.
As the two demons went down the train, they passed many full compartments. In fact, all but the very last compartments were full. [eerie coincidence there, eeh?] In the last compartment of the last car, there was only four people sitting in it. Two of them were the boys that Hiei had pointed out earlier. The other two boys also looked to be about 15. The first was a pale, tired-looking boy with light hair and amber eyes. The other was a short, pudgy boy with watery eyes and stringy blond hair. All three were huddled over something that they hid as soon as the compartment door slid open.
"Excuse me," Kurama said politely. "May we sit here? All of the other compartments are full."
"Of course," said the boy with glasses, as the other boy with black hair stuffed something into his bag. "My name is James Potter. The ugly git next to me is Sirius Black. Those two are Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew."
The two demons shared a glance. They had found their charges already. Koenma must have something to do with this, Kurama thought. "My name is Kurama Minamino." Kurama bowed slightly and nudged Hiei. With a small grunt, Hiei said, "Hiei Jaganshi."
"We're exchange students from Japan," explained Kurama, as James opened his mouth to ask the obvious question. "We will be both joining the fifth year classes."
"That's awesome!" said Sirius as he scooted over to make room for the two demons. Knowing how Hiei was about his space, Kurama sat down next to Remus and Hiei sat between Kurama and the door. "Us four are fifth years to! Maybe we can show you around!"
"That would be nice," said Kurama with a small grin.
"So, what house are you two in? I hope you aren't in Slytherin," asked James.
"What if we are in Slytherin?" said Hiei.
"We couldn't be your friends then." explained Remus patiently "Gryffindors, our House, are sworn enemies of Slytherins."
"For a good reason to," said James.
"Yeah," said Sirius. "You name any dark wizard in history, and literally all of them were in Slytherin."
"We don't have a House yet," explained Kurama. "I think that we will get sorted when we get to Hogwarts. How does the sorting happen?" That set off a flood. The four boys seemed to talk all at once. They explained about the Sorting, which ran into the Houses, which ran into Quiddich, which lasted for a LONG time. James and Sirius were obviously Quiddich fanatics. Everyone else dropped out of the conversation ages ago, but they were still talking. Remus was teaching Kurama how to play wizards chess, and Peter was cheering them on. Hiei, who had barely said a word to anyone during the trip, was trying to tune James and Sirius out, but wasn't succeeding very well. Hiei decided to study the boys a little more closely. Turning his head away, he slowly opened his Jagan. Even though it was still hidden and warded by his bandanna, it still gave off a slight purple glow. Hiei measured the foursome's , who he remembered called themselves the Marauders, spirit energy. The two boys, Sirius and Remus, had spirit energy that was abnormally high for a human. Peter's was just the tiniest bit higher than a regular human. Hiei shifted his Jagan's gaze to Remus and paused for a moment. This boy was different. He had a very high amount of spirit energy, more than the other three Marauders. It was also kind of different somehow. Remus's energy wasn't spirit energy, exactly, it seemed somewhat akin to youkai. Hiei stored that information away for later and closed his Jagan. Looking out the window, he noticed that it had gotten darker outside and wondered if they would get to Hogwarts anytime soon. as if he had sensed Hiei's thoughts, James glanced at his watch and swore.
"We're almost at Hogwarts you guys," he said to Kurama and Hiei. "You might want to get into your robes."
Hiei nodded and dug through his new, black enameled trunk to find his robes as Kurama did the same in his mahogany one. When he found his robes at the bottom of his trunk, he reached up and unbuttoned his cloak. Underneath it he wore a long-sleeved black shirt. Hiei was about to pull on his robe when he heard a sharp intake of breath from one of the compartment's other inhabitants.
"Where'd you get that?" asked Sirius, staring at Hiei's bandaged right hand. "That looks painful."
"Burn," answered Hiei shortly. "It doesn't hurt." Just then, a small black headed peeked out of Hiei's collar.
"What's that?" asked Sirius. The other boys turned to look at the ferret that had crawled out of Hiei's collar.
"This is my pet," said Hiei, scratching the golden-eyed ferret's head. "His name is Koku." He turned away from the other boys and packed his trunk back up.
"What's in the cage?" asked Remus, looking for a change in subject.
"This is my owl," answered Kurama as he lifted the blanket that covered the cage to reveal a snowy owl that was more silver than snowy. "Her name is Rose." All of a sudden, the train slowed to a stop.
"Yes, we're here!" shouted James, jumping in the air "Lets go!" He dashed out of the compartment, followed closely by Peter. The other boys followed more slowly, though Sirius wasn't running out of the compartment only because he was trying to get Hiei to hurry up.
"Firs' years over here!" bellowed a giant of a man who was holding a lantern. "Firs' years an' exchange students are t' come w' me!"
Kurama waved goodbye to the Marauders, who were boarding a carriage that was pulled by strangely, skeletal horse-like creatures.
"No more than four t' a boat!" shouted the giant man. Kurama winced, as the man's powerful voice did not agree with his Youko hearing. The two demons climbed into a small boat along with two other students. The large man stepped into his boat and tapped his boat. They were off!
