Yay!! I got more reviews. Well you know the disclaimer, it's pretty much the same as last chappie. Well, for the normal reviews:
Everqueen: You'll just have to see. Yes Yusuke will have his hands full, for there's a surprise around her. Maybe you can guess about what that surprise will be. *coy smile, gives you sake cookies*
Okay, now for the dream sequences. There was the rest of the first one, and the second one, and of course the unmentioned pets. So now for the participants:
FoxyFireDemon: Yep, master. Bow down before me. Hehehe, that was fun. No response to the baka comment, but yea. Uhhh whatever. *gives you sugar cookies*
Okay now for the important stuff. My birthday is coming up soon. On October 5th, so by then I will, or should post at least one new chapter on all my fics, and post another if I'm in the mood. So that gives you a week and to prepare. Prepare for what? I'm not exactly sure, I'll find out eventually.
So I'm back to doing recaps on all my fics. So here it goes [Ahh! Bad N*SYNC song memory.] Last chapter was the dinner, which a couple of people didn't want to be at. Kurama started a conversation on pets, go figure. Hiei goes through Aurora's memories and causes her to get a headache. Explaining what he saw last in her mind to Kurama, the smart kitsune deducts that she is Yusuke's "sibling".
Once again I hold to my claim in saying that I do try to keep everyone IC, if their not it's Kuwabara's fault for having addictive stupidity. I already am doing a time jump to the next morning, and for once I'm not starting with the Tantei or the Weasley's group. So I bid you again to enjoy the newest installment of a fic with a really long title.

"I guess we just wait here" Paige said as she was sitting down. Leo was watching Wyatt, so only the sisters were gonna meet the headmaster. They took a table Tom had led them to, apparently Dumbledore reserved the table a while back just for this. "Can't wait to be done with this and get our stuff though. Using a wand is considered to be more precise than just incantations like we do."
"Yeah, but hopefully there'll be some cute guys there too."
"Phoebe! What about Jake (A/N: I cant remember her last bosses name, I just remember it starting with a J) I thought you were still dating him." Piper exclaimed, with widened eyes and a bit of a teasing tone.
"Still in China, there has been a few problems with the new place. Anyway, we grew apart so I called the whole thing off." Phoebe was being very relaxed about this, like it didn't bug her. At that moment a robed old man with a very long snowy beard sat down at the end of the table. "Excuse me, but who the hell are you?" The man looked up with sparkly eyes as if full of knowledge no one will ever know.
"I, Miss Halliwell, am Headmaster Dumbledore. I am quite sure that I arranged this meet." His tone wasn't even harsh, Phoebe clasped her hand to her mouth and muttered an apology. Dumbledore chuckled a bit. "It's quite all right Phoebe, I've been treated worse when someone knew who I was. Now all we have to do is set a couple of ground rules. First thing, you may bring a wand but I want you to teach the students the way you destroy creatures and counteract spells before wand magic defenses. Second, you all must wear robes, teenage boys might lose their focus in their studies." At this the sisters looked at each other. Phoebe was wearing very low rise jeans and a baby blue halter. Paige wasn't wearing something that revealing, but it was still revealing. She had a short red skirt and a frilly pink shirt that had a low V-neck. Piper seemed the most appropriate with a simple black shirt and jeans, though both were tight and came up a bit low, or high in the shirts case. "It's okay, this is for the term. Lastly, Leo and the little boy Wyatt may stay as well, but mustn't participate in any classes. They may watch any class, but not take part in them. That is all for the ground rules. You may come on the train to the school, it arrives on the first at King's Cross Station, on platform 9and 3/4. There is an enchantment on it, just go between a column in between 9 and 10 to get there."
"Wait, that's all you wanted to tell us?" Paige inquired with a nod from the headmaster in reply. "I guess we should get our stuff then. It was nice meeting you Dumbledore."
"Just call me Albus, Paige. Only need formality in front of student for a good example. Speaking of which, the exchange students should be coming soon. You may do what you wish. Any Hogwarts related will be paid by the school." With a nod and thanks from the sisters, they left for the back alley. Coming down the stairs 3 boys and a girl came down and was led by Tom to the table. "I must be getting old, I could've sworn there were only 3 new students"
"I'm sorry Headmaster, but she's become quite a friend to us. That and she has a request." Kurama gave with a bow and sat down. Aurora gave a nod to Albus and sat down as well along with Hiei and Yusuke.
"And what may that be my dear?" Albus directed to her.
"Please hear me out before I make the request sir." Albus made a motion for her to continue. "As you may or may not know, I come from America. I attended a few years at a wizarding school there. Unfortunately I was expelled when some bounty hunters took my mother away and I had no guardian left to knowledge or record. Well, I was hoping to be able to continue my studies at your school. I am willing to take the OWL's to see my level and continue from there." Aurora was almost about to beg, but she held her tone and said this very business-like. Albus furrowed his bushy brow and went into deep thought. Hiei just glared as Yusuke was stuffing his face and Kurama waiting his decision the same way Aurora was.
"I have the feeling that you will be able to start in these gentlemen's same level. If it makes you feel better, we will put you in a test to make sure you can keep up after you sorting." Aurora smiled and bowed her head in thanks. Kurama smiled as well at the good news. He knew that it was best for her to be with them as well. "Now as for your starting at Hogwarts, I trust you already purchased your supplies"
Kurama replied. "Actually we only started, due to a mishap in Ollivanders, we had to cut it short. We are to finish everything after our little meeting today." Albus nodded.
"Then you may help this young lady with her own purchase. Also a few things you should know. One of them is that there is a strong concern to keep order about. If you have anything I must know, I'd like to hear of it before you do so. The usual respect towards the professor's is expected. Other than that, I just wanted to let you know how to get on the train to the school."
"Wait, we took a portal to get here alone, and we still have to take a train to the place. This is stupid, we should've used the portal straight to the school." Yusuke was in a rage, why exactly will never be known. Maybe he doesn't like trains or something. The world may never know. "So is that all? Cuz we have to finish getting stuff and Pyros needs food."
"You named the stupid pet Pyros?" Hiei said for the first time today. I emphasize today, he was saying pretty much the same thing last night but received no answer.
"This meeting is over." Albus got up and started to leave, but then halted. "Oh, almost forgot. When you get off, you all will meet with Hagrid with the first years. Till the banquet gentlemen. And I also seemed to forget the young ladies name."
"Aurora Oracles, sir. That is my name." With a nod, the old man left. Strangely with a smile on his face. "What was that all about?"
"Does it matter, the old man is finally gone." Obviously only Yusuke would say this. Everyone got up and went into the alley again to continue their shopping. First stop, Flourish and Blott's. They purchased their books and supplies without any trouble and went over to Madame Malkins Robe Shoppe. Just saying that they were going to Hogwarts, she already started measurement on everyone. Deciding that they might need one of these brooms, they stopped at the quidditch supply store.
"Look the newest broom yet, The Phoenix XL 3000. Said to be faster than even the Firebolt. Only someone like the Malfoy's can afford such a fine broom." A little bay at the window yelled out to everyone. Aurora heard this very well and decided to thank everyone with a gift.
"Guy's why don't you go back to the tavern, I just have to do something. Don't worry about the brooms, the place is packed anyways. We can go tomorrow."
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Hn."
"That does sound reasonable. We'll meet you at our usual table." Kurama, Hiei and Yusuke left for the tavern as suggested. Yes he said usual table, it's in the back by the portal they came from in the first place. Aurora returned to Gringott's and took out a load of galleons knowing just one broom would cost a lot. Coming into the broom store, she came out with 4 brown long slender packages with a bulge at the end of each.
At the entrance of the tavern and alley, she set the packages on a table and took out her wand. Muttering something after the word Teleportus, the packages seemed to have disappeared. She put away her wand and met up with everyone else. Seeing someone new at the table already. The new guy looked about their age. He had brown hair and was wearing what looked like a japanese outfit for royalty. For some reason he had a pacifier in his mouth, and on his forehead was the abbreviation for junior. Seeing that 2 of the guys obviously didn't like the guy, Aurora took out her wand and made herself known. "Well, looks like someone is lost. What brings you to our fine table 'Junior'?"
Kurama smiled at this childish act, Yusuke laughed as Hiei just smirked. The 'Junior' scowled the remark. Kurama intervened though, to avoid any deaths. "This is our boss Aurora. His name is Koenma."
"Just looks like a momma's boy to me."
Koenma got mad. "I'll have you know that I am the ruler of spirit world." Koenma put on a proud look.
"Uhhh... spirit world?" Koenma gagged on his own breath, just realizing what information he just let loose. "You mean reikai, correct?"
"I think we need a little talk. Hiei can you wipe her mind?"
"If I could fox, I would have long before. I don't know why, but I cant get too far into her mind."
