Disclaimer: Not owning YYH and HP is like getting teeth pulled. Except, you know, not as bloody or painful. And your mouth isn't full of gauze.
AN YAY! I thought I was going to get this up right after finals and I did! It's a little short, and slightly pointless... but that's alright. I'm just happy I'm still writing this because it's starting to turn into a chore. I'm hoping that by the time I actually get the Tentai to Hogwarts, it will turn around and be a *great* story. ^__^ Read and review.

Chapter 3
Harry grunted as he hit the ground, again. He lay on the grass, panting, before slowly climbing back to his feet.
"Focus!" Genkai snapped from the steps to her Dojo. "If you're not paying attention to your opponant they'll beat the life out of you before you realize it! Once more!"
Harry muttered something unfavorable under his breath.
Across from him, Hiei smirked evilly before charging once again.
Harry immediatly put up the only thing he had learned thus far. A barrier. However, his barrier was still very weak and Hiei charged through it as though it weren't there. Harry eeped before quickly moving to one side. Hiei flashed passed him before turning around for another go. The wizard put all of his energy into his barrier, watching in dismay as Hiei charged through it again.
He was bonked over the head with a bamboo stick before Hiei walked off in the general direction of the Dojo.
"Not bad, Potter." Yusuke said, standing up and moving to help Harry get back to his feet. "Though it didn't look it, that last barrier gave Hiei a bit of trouble."
Harry snorted. "He ran through it as though it wasn't even there. I wish I had his kind of talent."
"It's because of all your years channeling your magic through your wand that you're having problems." Kurama said, walking up to the two. "You're having trouble adapting to this new way of thinking. I'm amazed you got this far. Most people would give up."
The red head threw a glance over to Yusuke.
"Ne, Yusuke-sama?"
Yusuke growled. "Shut it, fox."
===
The summer flashed past quickly after Harry's training really got underway. Though the wizard learned slowly, his barriers became much stronger and he learned how to channel his magic through his palm rather than his wand. It got to the point that the only one of the three which could get past one of Harry's barriers was Hiei, because he himself had gotten stronger along with the barriers.
Harry wasn't exactly pleased about that.
However, there were other things to keep his mind on. Things which intreguied the wizard about his current environment. Kurama took him to his house one afternoon after a hard morning of training, that had been one of those enlightening moments. A moment where he learned there was a little more to the red haired boy then he thought. For one thing, his room was full of plant life. Little potted plants were on his desk, bookcase, bedside table. He hadn't understood when Kurama told him he used the plants for "protection". Yukina later told him that Kurama had a gift with plants, which didn't make much sense either.
Another thing which intreguiged him was Botan. The girl had a tendency to pop out of the air, riding on an oar. She would never explain how she did it though, which led Harry to believe she was a Mage as well. A third thing was Kuwabara, the carrot top from the ramen shop. He arrived at least once a week with Yusuke and the others. Harry quickly learned that the teen was as dimwitted as he looked.
But, like all things, the summer did end and arrangements were made for bringing Harry and the three mages back to London. Botan appeared on her oar to escort them.
===
Yusuke yawned, looking around the Dojo and grounds he had yet to inheret.
Hiei was leaning against a tree, his katana casually strapped around his waist while the Jagan on his forehead glowed. He was probably checking up on his sister one last time before he left.
Kurama was looking around as well, although his thoughts were probably with his garden, in the back of the Dojo, and if Yukina would remember to tend it everyday. He was also thinking about his mother, and the conversation he had had with her before departing for nine months.
=Flashback=
"Kassan?" Kurama called, shouldering his duffle bag and looking around for his mother. He found her in the kitchen, pulling out a fresh batch of cookies.
"Oh!" The woman said in surprise, setting down the hot tray and turning around to look with affection at her son. "Are you leaving today?"
Kurama smiled and set his bag down on the table. "Hai, but I'll write you as often as I can. Remember to send my letter's to Genkai-sama's dojo. She'll get them to me."
Shiori Minamino smiled and moved to embrace her son tightly. "Have fun in England, Shuu-chan." She said, trying hard to hold back her tears. "I heard the schools there are very nice. I'm glad you got accepted into one of them."
Kurama smiled and embraced his mother as well, though inwardly he was cringing at yet another lie he was forced to tell her. But he wouldn't take the risk of telling her the truth.
The doorbell rang and Kurama reluctnatly let his mother go. "That will be Yusuke," he said with a smile. "I'd better get going... we don't want to miss our flight."
Shiori smiled and let her precious treasure go. "Good luck, Shuu-chan."
=End Flashback=
"Okay," Botan said with her usual smile and bubbly voice. "These are for you three..." She handed each of the Tentai a small earing. "Reikai approved, it's what all fairies use."
"A Reikai translator?" Yusuke asked, staring at it in confusion. "Why? Kurama forced me to learn English over the break, and Hiei will pick it up anyway."
"Just put them on." Botan snapped, losing the cheerful grin for a moment.
The three boys eeped before doing as told.
"Hiei, your's is in the wrong ear." Harry said, watching as Hiei place his earing in his right earlobe.
"Your human customs mean nothing to me." The fire demon growled, his red eyes flashing.
Harry wisely chose not to say anything else to the demon. Instead, he turned to Kurama and Yusuke, who had also chosen to place their earings in their right ears. "Are your ears even peirced?" The wizard wondered.
"Nope." Yusuke said with a grin, making the final adjustments to his earing and bending over to pick up his duffel. "But these are Reikai issued, charmed to the user to adapt and translate whatever language is needed. They also have a notice-me-not charm on them, so where we put them doesn't really matter."
The teen grinned at the wizard again before moving a little closer to Botan and starting up a conversation which made no sense to Harry's ears.
Kurama turned and looked into Harry's eyes. "Nervous about going back?" He asked, green eyes twinkling knowningly.
Harry grinned ruefully and rubbed the back of his head. "Hai." He agreed. "But only a little, it's not like any spells can get past my barrier now."
Hiei snorted as he walked passed. "Almost ready to leave, Botan?" He asked in a gruff voice.
"Eep!" Botan squeeked. "Hai! We just need the go ahead from Koenma and then we're free to go. The trip will only take about twenty minutes, we'll land in a small alley in Diagon Alley. Harry will lead you to the bank, you're supposed to transfer your money to wizard money there."
"Hn."
Yusuke and Kurama stood next to Harry, who was beginning to twitch nervously. "I'm not nervous." He explained hastially, "I'm just not used to traveling by oar."
"We're not flying on the oar." Yusuke said with a grin. "Botan's going to have us hovering underneath her. Her oar has what can be called a net, it will keep us safe for the journey."
"Speaking from experience, Yusuke-sama?" Kurama teased.
"No." Yusuke sulked. "Last time I rode on that thing I had to actually hang on. The net is only used for groups."
"Ah."
"Alright boys," Botan said cherrilly. "We've got the go ahead." She summoned her oar and hovered about ten feet off the ground. "Just stand under the oar and you should be safe."
The group of four boys did as told and almost immdediatly they were in the air, flying fast for Britain.
"Anybody want to play cards?" Harry asked, pulling a deck of exploding snap cards from his trunk.
