Sorry about the wait between the chapters, but I want to make sure the story's going well. Still, it doesn't matter too much because nobody reviewed my last chapter. Hopefully, this will be longer than the last chapter.
Note: I made a mistake on the amount of wizards. There are almost 120,000, if Muggles outnumber them 500 to 1.
Candlemon: Well, it looks like you got flamed again.
Giramon: Just leave him alone, Candlemon.
Me: I'll deal with him at the end. For now, let's just show the next chapter.
"Well, we have to see those creatures again." sighed Ron. "They look even worse than the Skrewts."
"Hagrid said they weren't dangerous unless they were provoked." said Hermione. "Unless you attack them or appear threatening, they won't hurt you."
They were talking about monsters Hagrid had gotten at the beginning of the term. At this point, they were about 6 feet tall, and grew at a rate of 3 inches per week. They were brown in color, and had about 1-inch teeth. They seemed to be very intelligent, though none of them knew how big they were going to get. (A.N: The creature is the same that's found on "20 Million Miles to Earth)
"Let's just hope Malfoy's learned his lesson about provoking Hagrid's 'pets'." said Harry. "Then again, we could have a repeat of the hippogriff incident."
"You really knew how to make a guy feel better." Ron said sarcastically. "At least Hagrid hasn't tried to study the Digimon, or we'd be in real trouble."
"Their partners would never allow it, nor would the Digimon themselves, so stop worrying." said Hermione. "They are intelligent and can think for themselves."
"Don't think of asking them questions, Hermy." said Ron.
"Don't call me that! I'm not going to ask them, but I would like to. Maybe I can find out what they truly are and how they formed. Izzy gave me some answers, but I want more."
They walked into Hagrid's classroom, waiting to see the monsters. Malfoy seemed to be talking with Crabbe and Goyle, and Harry could feel history repeating. However, he didn't have a chance to warn Hagrid.
"Alright, class!" said Hagrid. "Those of ya that are up to it, Let's try makin' friends with them. If you can get them to trust you, you have a dear friend on your side. However, if ya have bad intention', they will either ignore ya or attack ya. So let's get started!"
About 20 students walked cautiously towards the monsters, including Malfoy. He had his usual sneer, and proclaimed loudly that they should kill them all before they do the same.
Hermione went cautiously into the pen (about 16x20) and looked at the monster. It looked at its visitors curiously, and Hermione hoped it didn't consider her food. They usually ate plants, but they ate meat when they could get it.
Harry and Ron had their hands on their wands, but the creature didn't look threatening. They stepped closer, and it seemed to think they meant him no harm. He knocked Ron down, and he was about to curse him, but Harry grabbed his arm.
"I think he's just playing." said Harry. "If he wanted to hurt us, he'd use his teeth and claws, so he wants to play with us."
Hermione poked him on the shoulder, and moved when he turned around. He pick her up, and put her on the wooden board on top of the pen. He playfully chased after Harry and when he tripped on Harry's foot, he fell on the cage, but didn't seem to be hurt.
"These creatures are really strong." Ron groaned after the creature bumped into him.
"Hagrid said that right now, they have the strength of 5 normal adults." said Hermione. "It's what makes them so dangerous, and why so many others leave them alone."
Malfoy wasn't having any luck, though. The creature took a dislike to him immediately and stayed at the back of his cage. All three of them laughed and walked closer.
"This beast is nothing but a coward." sneered Malfoy. He picked up a sharp branch and jabbed it into his stomach. That was a big mistake.
The beast immediately jumped Malfoy and began clawing and biting him. Crabbe tried to pull him off, but was thrown to a corner of the cage. Goyle tried stunning it, but they only made him angrier. He then attacked Goyle, and even with his strength, he couldn't pull him off.
Malfoy got up and fired various spells at him, but they had little or no effect, and the creature was completely ignoring him. Hagrid finally came and pulled the beast off, with difficulty. The creature calmed down, as he really trusted Hagrid.
"Well, I hope we don't have a repeat of the hippogriff incident." said Ron, remembering what happened in their third year.
************
Meanwhile, Tai was complaining about young Malfoy, as usual. Sora eventually shut him up and walked off. Agumon shrugged and they walked off towards the charms classroom. Kari and Gatomon were having a conversation about the classes, while Matt joined up with Tai.
"At least you sent Malfoy to the hospital wing." said Matt. "I'd say it was worth the detention."
"I can't help but feel that Malfoy's going to get revenge somehow." said Tai. "You probably think I'm crazy, but I just have a feeling."
"His dueling skills are pathetic." said Agumon. "I bet you could kick his butt a thousand times if you had enough magic."
"Agumon, you're not supposed to encourage him." reprimanded Gabumon. "Plus, I'm more worried about the elder Malfoy. He could probably beat both of you."
"He'd be running as fast as he could if Greymon was after him." said Tai, and they all chuckled at the mental image. He then sighed and walked into the classroom. Professor Flitwick reviewed color changing charms, and Matt thought it amusing to turn Tai pure pink.
Still, he was looking at Mimi, who looked like she was about to faint. Palmon had her arm around her, and was whispering words into her ear. Tai than realized he was pink and accidentally set fire to Matt's robes. He quickly put it out by a spell Hermione had taught him, and the professor pretended not to notice.
Sora was practicing the charm on her desk, and she seemed to be having the time of her life. Biyomon was applauding and occasionally giving out a laugh. Matt muttered that he was never going to understand girls. T.K. was laughing after Kari turned him into a green human being. Gatomon leapt onto the chandelier, at which most of the students gasped. (This is my own idea, but please bear with me. I am making a few changes to Hogwarts.)
The class was over when it seemed that it had only began. All of them went down to lunch, where they met Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Joe, Izzy, and their Digimon joined them as well, even though they were in Ravenclaw. (I haven't thought of any names in Ravenclaw yet, but future chapters will have a place in their room)
"Joe, take a guess what I saw?" said Gomamon. "Ron and Hermione were kissing like mad. I thought they were going to pass out from lack of oxygen."
"I saw it too, and it was not a pretty sight." said Tentomon. "Could you please warn us if you do that again?"
Most of them laughed, but Ron and Hermione turned a deep shade of red. Harry knew it was going to happen sooner or later, and glad they finally learned about it.
"You're going out with Ron?" asked Lavender Brown, one of Hermione's dorm mates. "How good of a kisser is he?"
"I hope you don't intend to kiss him yourself!" exclaimed Patamon. "I've heard plenty of things about you, and none of them are good."
"You didn't need to be so rude, Patamon." Sora reprimanded him, but Lavender Brown had already stormed off. He sighed and started to eat.
However, Matt noticed that Kari had gone off. Still, he didn't think anything of it, but Tai didn't share his attitude. Gatomon was worried as well. T.K. was looking in his book to find some new spells he could learn, and Mimi asked him if she could help. He had, of course, agreed readily.
There was a bang at the Slytherin table, and Dorian Malfoy had snakes for hair. Most of the school was laughing and even his own house found it funny. He sent a death glare at Tai, who just smirked. Malfoy flipped him off, but it only made Tai more amused.
"You'd think he would consider beneath him to flip you off." said Matt. "So much for the Malfoy dignity."
He stormed off towards his common room, muttering to himself. Despite himself, Tai was a little worried. One on one, they were an even match when it came to fighting, but he was more worried about his brother.
Lunch was over, with about half the school laughing at the prank pulled on young Malfoy. The Gryffindors had potions, while the Ravenclaws had Transfiguration. Biyomon still wondered where Kari was, but she didn't think that she came to any harm.
She couldn't have been more wrong.
**************
Mimi was worried about she had seen. She saw three boys being roasted alive, and another who was glowing out of sheer rage. The scene changed and she saw a girl, who looked dead. She arrived to class 5 minutes late, and lost 5 points from Gryffindor.
As usual, Snape insulted the Gryffindors, while praising the Slytherins. None of the Digidestined could manage a potion, except for Sora. It wasn't perfect, but at least it was green, unlike Malfoy's, which was pink. He sneered and the look on his face said "I know something you don't" Tai could barely restrain his temper.
Snape walked over to them. "Well, pathetic potions as usual. 20 points from Gryffindor for a waste of ingredients." He walked away and told them to hand in a vial of their potions.
Sora handed it in first, but before she walked as far as three feet, it fell on the ground and shattered. She knew he did it on purpose, but she could do nothing. She lost 5 points from Gryffindor. Tai stayed behind after the bell rung so he could talk to professor Snape.
"Go on with your little friends, Kamiya." said Snape. "I don't want to talk to you."
"I've got to." replied Tai. "I haven't seen Kari anywhere? I'm getting worried about her. Can you help me find her?"
"I wouldn't search for her if my life depended on it. Now get out of my classroom."
After Kamiya left, Snape sighed. He was going to have to tell Dumbledore. He just hoped nothing happened to her, and he had a strong suspicion of who was responsible.
Meanwhile, Ron was complaining about how much homework they got all the time. Hermione seemed excited, but held her tongue for once.
"I can't believe how much homework we got from professor Flitwick." said Ron. "We only have 3 days to do it."
"Ron, you've said this a million times." said Harry. "Could you just do it and not wait until the last minute? The library isn't that bad, despite what you think."
"We may as well just enjoy our free period." said Hermione. "We don't get much of a break anymore."
Harry sighed and took out his DADA book. If he wanted to beat Voldemort, he was going to have to train. Ron and Hermione were bickering, as usual. He sighed and went off, but his friends followed, still bickering.
After a while, they stopped arguing and just kissed. They had only been together 2 weeks, and they were already showing public affection. Harry walked away, not want to see them make out.
He read the daily prophet and Voldemort was striking at cities again. More than 100 people had been killed. 4 death eaters had been killed, and about a dozen captured, but all of them were new recruits.
The door opened, and Mimi and Matt came into the room. Both of them were looking worried, so Hermione let them sit down. She wanted to know what was wrong of course, but Ron told her not to interrogate them.
"Hermione, we think that Mimi may be a seer." said Matt. "We were going to go to Dumbledore, but we decided to check on you first, as we know you better."
"I had some... disturbing visions." she said. "First, I saw 3 teenage boys being roasted alive. 2 of them looked huge, like bodyguards. Then I saw a girl that was severely beaten. I didn't get a very good look at her. After that, I saw another boy glowing with rage and sending something out of his hands. It looked like he was standing on top of something, I don't know what."
"Colin's sister, Jennifer, is missing." said Harry. "It could be possible that she is the girl she saw in her vision."
"How do we know these visions are true?" asked Hermione. "Seers are extremely rare, showing up about every 2 decades."
"The last one appeared about 25 years ago." said Harry. "If the appearance of seers is periodical, we're about due for one."
"In any case, I think we better find Jennifer." said Ron. "Colin is probably worried sick at this point."
"Kari's missing as well, and Tai's already swearing revenge on the Malfoys, whom he holds responsible." said Matt. "The girl Mimi saw could be either one of these two."
***********
Tai and Agumon were searching everywhere for Kari. Gatomon was searching the lower floors. So far, they had come up with nothing. Tai knew his sister was in danger, he just knew it....
***********
"It has been a long time." said Admitted Joe. "Gomamon, let's go search for Kari."
The rest of the digidestined complied, as they were now certain something had happened. Tentomon was flying all around Hogwarts, calling for Kari. Sora and Biyomon checked the third floor thoroughly, along with Gatomon.
T.K. and Patamon were searching on the top floor , Patamon using his nose to help him. He smelled something on the floor below them.
"I think I know where she is." said Patamon. "We've got to get the others."
Soon, they were assembled and looked in every corner, not leaving any stone unturned. However, it didn't do any good. The digimon's smell ability was being interrupted by a smell of coffee beans.
"Do you think this could be a decoy?" asked Sora. "We've searched everywhere and haven't found a trace of her. I just wish our digivices could locate her."
"Give it to me for a minute, Sora." said Izzy. "Now if I just change the frequency, and identify her location... got her! She's on the 5th floor."
"Now we can finally find out what's been going on." said Sora. "Whoever hurt her is going to pay for it."
**********
Meanwhile, Tai had went inside a room, and he was shocked at what he saw. Kari had been severely beaten, and maybe even worse. When he got his hands around the person who did this, they were going to wish they were dead.
3 voices were talking about what they had done, and Tai put his ear to the door and listened in.
"The mudblood got what she deserved. This should serve as a clear message. Our master will be most pleased of the delivery of Kari Kamiya."
"Why does he want her?" asked a troll-like voice.
"I don't know, idiot! Anyway, we do not question the master. We had better go now before anyone spots us."
Tai took out his wand, but remembered he didn't know any spells that could kill. Plus, they sounded a lot older than he is. Still, he had a trump card. He took out his digivice and grinned evilly.
AGUMON DIGEVOLVE TO... GREYMON!
The boy looked outside and they saw it was the older Malfoy. One roar from Greymon made him shake in fear. Crabbe and Goyle flanked Malfoy, but they didn't want to stand against him either. All three tried stunning Greymon, but it didn't have any effect. They ran, Greymon following close behind them.
They went into the hall, Greymon breathing fire and almost hitting them. The observation seemed torn between cheering and running for their lives. The distance between the enemies was closing... and Tai was focused on nothing else.
************
"I can't find them anywhere." said Harry. "I think it's time to tell a teacher."
"I'd have to agree with you , Harry." said Ron. "We can't find either of the girls. Please don't rub it in, Hermione. I just hope we get there before something bad happens."
"I think it's probably happened already." said Hermione. "Hundreds of students are on the 5th floor. I don't know what caught their attention."
Still, they decided to see what it was. Ron seemed very eager to see, but they didn't have to go up. Whatever it was, it was making Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle run for their lives. Close behind them was Tai and Greymon. It seemed that he was glowing and none of them wanted to try and stop him.
Hermione looked behind and the rest of the Digidestined, except for Matt and Sora, were chasing after them, but they weren't able to catch up and soon tired out.
"We've got to stop Tai from making a big mistake." Panted Joe. "In his state, he's probably going to kill them."
"Do you think he's do something like that?" asked Hermione.
"I have no doubt of it." said Izzy. "His sister was severely beaten, and he is very protective. I've seen it many times. "
TENTOMON DIGEVOLVE TO... KABUTERIMON!
All of them climbed on, and they chased after Greymon, although Kabuterimon found it difficult to fly with 13 life forms on his back. The remaining students took cover and ran as if he was going to attack them.
**********
Greymon had just about caught up to them and was about to fire, but Tai told them to wait. Still, Greymon knocked them into a wall with his tail. Tai jumped off without getting a scratch and fired orange magic at them. All three screamed in pain, but he wasn't done. He flicked his hand and Malfoy's leg shattered.
He wasn't normally like this, but his anger was outside his control. Since he had a lot of power, it overwhelmed him. He fired lightning at them all, and after about a minute, they were in too much pain to even move.
As a finish, Greymon finally fired his nova blast and their robes were burned off. Their skin was being roasted. A huge burst of water put out the fire, and all three sighed with relief. Snape had arrived and he sent a curse at Greymon's head. It blasted him back, but didn't do any serious harm.
However, neither were going to taken out easily. Tai mentally slammed Snape into the wall and conjured rocks to shoot at him. He fired reductor curses, but he still didn't stand a chance.
By this time, the rest of the digidestined arrived. Sora tried to restrain Tai, but her hands burned just by touching him. Kabuterimon got in front of him, But Greymon threw him over his head. Tai fired a burst of rocky spires at Harry, but Kabuterimon took the hits for him. he was in pain, but still able to fight.
"Should we try fighting him?" Asked Matt.
"I don't think we have a choice." said Izzy. "It's that or he'll destroy us all. I've got no clue what's happening."
The rest of the teachers had arrived. Tai shot down Kabuterimon and told Greymon to deal with them. He once more turned to Harry.
"I make you an offer, Potter." said Tai. "You can be much more than what Dumbledore has made you into. Join me, and you will know true power."
"Let him go, Tom." said Dumbledore, who had finally managed to knock Greymon out. "Leave him out of our conflict."
"Do you really think I'll let him go?" demanded Voldemort. "With Kamiya's powers added to my own, I'm more than a match for you."
He was about to attack, but he felt a searing pain on his arm. Kari had apparently arrived, sensing that her brother was in trouble. Sora decided to give her some help and did the same thing. The combined effort of light and love was too much for Voldemort. He left Tai's body, but not without swearing that he would return.
Dumbledore looked worried and angry. Tai was lying on the ground, in serious pain. If he had not fought, 3 students would have been killed. Nevertheless, he had intended to take his revenge on the Malfoy family.
"Is he going to be all right?" asked T.K.
"Fortunately, he has not taken any serious harm." replied Dumbledore. "He is going to have to remain in the hospital wing. Had Tom held on to him much longer, he body would have started to decay. Could all of you please come to my office?"
What do you think is going to happen now? Next chapter will be more pranks, another appearance of Voldemort, and a traitor in the school.
Also, I'm sorry for delaying as long as I did with this chapter. I hope my next chapter will be up more quickly, and I'm planning another story. Still, I'm not going to start it until I have at least 8 chapters on this one.
Review responses:
Destinedknight23: So you hate my story? Next time you want to criticize my work, at least give a reason why you don't like it. Tell me what you don't like, and if it's reasonable, I'll fix the mistake. Better yet, if you're just going to say "You suck, go get bent", why should I care about your opinion? You're no older than I am, and I've read the ebony flame. It's an interesting concept, but you barely wrote anything at all, and you were too stupid or lazy to divide it into paragraphs.
So if you don't like my story, why the hell should I care? I didn't much care for yours either, if you're just going to write a bunch of sentences and dialogue that's all squeezed together. Listen to my suggestions: Fix the grammar on your story, and if you don't like me, just don't review!
Candlemon: For once, I agree with you. I can't believe we have to deal with that idiot. Even worse, we can't delete his review.
Me: The first lesson you learn is that life isn't fair. I do hope I got my point across.
Giramon: Well, Trevor, hopefully you'll get better reviews in the future.
Me: There are decent authors out there, and I'm one of the few who doesn't have horrible grammar.
Giramon: That's right!
Candlemon: We don't need an ego trip, Trevor. All you have to do is say this is a decent story.
Me: I can't believe one of my friends put me on a dating game. (This didn't really happen, Okay? I'm just having fun)
Giramon: I'm one of the hosts, so we better hurry if we want to get there in time.
