Disclaimer: Blame it all on the walrus, he stole YYH from me. And then I killed the walrus, because it laughed drunkenly and pissed me off.

AN Well, here's another chapter, sorry about the wait. *cowers* On the other hand, having you all wait so long increased my review count. ^__^ and I rolled in the reviews I received for last chapter. No, I really did. *rolls in reviews yet again* All just shut up and let you get to reading. Sorry about the blatant shortness.

==============================

Chapter 5

There was absolute silence for a few moments in the train compartment. All eyes were trained on Harry. And Harry, it seemed, couldn't cope with the sudden pressure he was under.

Yusuke blinked when, with a very sudden move, the dark haired wizard lunged forwards and connected his fist with Ron's stomach. Harry's punch, having grown much stronger thanks to his summer training, knocked Ron back a step or two. He also left the red head gasping for breath, and Draco staring in shock.

"I didn't kill her!" Harry screamed. "Her death wasn't my fault!" He threw his fist again - but it never met his target.

"That's enough!" Kurama said in a tone that demanded he be obeyed. He ran a hand through his red hair in annoyance, and only Hiei and Yusuke noticed that he actually threw a seed at Ron. The seed which quickly embedded itself in the boys flesh.

Hiei had somehow managed to catch Harry's flying fist, while Yusuke was escorting Ron, complete with the newly implanted tracking seed, out of the compartment.

"Sit." Hiei growled, leaving no room for argument. "And explain."

Harry winced and began to shake his head with denial. But Hiei leveled him with such a glare that the wizard knew not talking was not an option.

"We cannot protect you if you do not tell us the reason for your enemies." Kurama consoled him gently.

Harry sighed but nodded. "Hermione, Ron and I were best friends up until halfway through last year. Draco didn't get along with us at all, and all four of us were prefects. One night, the three of us were on patrol and it turned out that Draco was as well. That was the first night that Voldemort's Death Eaters attacked, we were all trapped in a classroom and for some stupid reason, and Draco and Ron started arguing. Hermione and I were trying to get them to stop, and I preformed a spell that went wrong and made a whole lot of noise. Long story short, the Death Eaters found us and Hermione died in the outcome. Ron is determined to blame me."

"And how are you two now so buddy-buddy?" Yusuke asked, leaning against the door in case Ron decided to try his luck again.

"It was because of Granger." Draco told them, adding his two cents into the story. "She said that our pointless arguing would get us killed. Then she and Weasley started arguing while Harry and I thought it over. Next thing we know, she's dead. The two of us decided to have a truce about a day after she died. Then Weasley started in on Harry. I guess our friendship came from that."

Hiei snorted. "How touching." He muttered before promptly turning to stare out the window, thus declaring the conversation over.

He didn't say anything else except to announce, about four hours later, they were about to arrive at the Hogsmeade station. Kurama forced his fellow "Mages" into formal kimono's for the welcoming ceremony. His argument was that they should at least look professional until people were too afraid of them to actually talk to them.

It was only under those conditions that Hiei and Yusuke agreed to put on matching kimonos, though they were different colors. Hiei wouldn't be caught dead in the same clothes as Kurama or Yusuke.

===

"So, where exactly are we supposed to go?" Yusuke asked, staring around the large hall Harry had told them was the "Entrance Hall". Though the hall was big, Yusuke wasn't very impressed because Koenma's office was bigger about twice over. He was used to large rooms.

Kurama sighed and looked around. His gaze first landed on a group of students standing a little ways behind them, getting lectured by a very stern looking woman. The three boys instantly recognized her as Professor McGonagall from the pictures that Koenma had given to them at the beginning of the summer. The professor, however, didn't notice them until she had lead the group of students into a small side room. She reemerged and almost screamed in shock as her gaze finally landed on the three boys clad in clothes she didn't recognize. She opened her mouth to scold them for not being in their uniform robes before taking second look, noting them to be older than the average new student.

"Oh!" She finally realized. "You must be the Mages that Genkai told us about." The woman quickly bowed in respect to their higher position in the magical world. "I am Professor Minerva McGonagall and I would like to thank you on behalf of our school and our students."

The three Tentai looked at her for a moment after she straightened back up before Hiei stepped forwards. His black kimono flared slightly. "I'm Hiei." He said gruffly. "A fire Mage."

He said 'fire Mage' meaning that he was a master at manipulating fires. He said nothing of his other skills, such as martial arts, swordsmanship, speed and the such. For, that was what the Tentai had agreed. They would reveal only one of their abilities to the people at Hogwarts, but they would only use abilities that were common as to not give away their demon heritage.

Kurama took his cue from Hiei and stepped forwards as well, he even bowed slightly. His green kimono moved as though it were in a gentle wind. "I'm Kurama, Nature Mage."

He was obviously speaking about his abilities with plants and manipulating them. And he would only be using his plants subtly at Hogwarts, not his Rose Whip or Death Tree as they were too signature to him. The Kitsune also took a moment to discreetly flick a tracking seed into the flesh of the woman opposite him, not taking any chances.

Yusuke stepped forwards last, his face carefully blank of all emotion. He wore a white kimono and it barely moved at all. "Yusuke, Spirit Mage."

Spirit Mage, saying that he used his own body energy as a weapon. But, McGonagall obviously misinterpreted it, thinking that he meant 'spirit' as 'ghost'. Although that was somewhat true as well, for Yusuke had an annoying habit of being able to see things that weren't meant to be seen.

McGonagall didn't know quite what more to say to the three Mages standing in front of her, except a feeble: "Welcome to Hogwarts."

===

"I can't believe they gave us our own rooms!" Yusuke rejoiced, bouncing slightly on his bed. It was a nice bed too. He idly wondered what professor had been ripped off for him to get a king sized four-poster. In fact, Yusuke managed to get his own suite of a room.

The three Tentai, and Harry, had been given their own set of living quarters away from the rest of the school. McGonagall told them that it was for safety measures that they kept Harry away from the rest of the student body as half of the students didn't particularly enjoy his company. But even though they had to now spend every waking moment with the wizard, they were apparently given "privileges" as well. The Tentai had full clearance anywhere in the castle and its grounds. They could have separate meals, and of course, they got amazing rooms.

"We are higher up in their social status," Kurama reasoned, walking into Yusuke's room with a sly smile. He had just finished 'redecorating' his own room with plants. He was also cultivating more of his "tracker seeds" for people that he thought they should watch out for. He had already planted them in about seven students, three professors and a ghost during dinner. Kurama sat down at Yusuke's desk, beginning to write a letter to his mother.

Hiei snorted, following the Kitsune into the room with a scowl. He was probably annoyed because his room was the only room without a window. He would have to tweak with Harry's mind in order to get the wizard to switch with him. Not that it would be hard.

"The half-wit should be sleeping now; I'm going to check the defenses here."

"Get back here before midnight. Koenma said he was going to check in around then." Yusuke called to the fire demons retreating back.

"Hn."

==============================

Shot-Outs: but only to the people who have something I want to comment on. You know... the important people.

Darling Chii: I totally agree with you! Ron is going to turn bad just like Percy did. That's probably why I write him as evil so often.

Safin Darkwater: I know that I should be writing longer chapters, and I usually do. *points in general direction of other fics.* But for some reason, total inspiration for this fic has deserted me and I weep in the aftermath. I'm only keeping it going because I hate ending a story half way through.

Ciu Sune: Plot twists are my friends! No, really! They just come out of nowhere so often that I'm often confused. It probably explains why I'm so random half of the time. Okay, most of the time.

Killua-san: copying is only a sign of respect. You copied my "finding a pet" thing, even if you did change Wufei to Hiei, and even if it was unintentional. *snort* unintentional, sure. I believe that. So, mleah! *sticks out tongue*

celena_albatou: sorry about the shortness. You know I have problems. *insert random laughter*

To everybody else who reviewed, sorry for not mentioning you - but you are still loved! And I still need a nick-name for Harry. And sorry, but I don't think that "Fuzzy" will work.

AN Review and I'll update.
