Chapter thirteen- Thanksgiving...
Hiei's POV
"What is this Thanksgiving day thing anyway?" I growled as Kurama worked on finding something in my trunk. I was leaning up against the doorframe at the exit while Ron, Hermione and Harry sat on Kurama's bed. It was going to be this 'Thanksgiving' day thing in two days and Kurama wanted to find something for me to wear. Harry had also told Kurama about a place called 'Hogsmeade' or something where we can buy clothes. Harry told us a long time ago but neither of us wanted to go till now. Kurama wanted a nice outfit and he had none. Now he was looking for me.
"Because of the few American wizards in the world Dumbledore decided to have Thanksgiving. Mostly all it is, is a holiday where family's get together from all around to eat and talk with each other," Kurama said as he picked up the tenth black cloak that he had found in the trunk. Digging in again he found a twentieth pair of pants. "How do you keep all this in here?"
"Small black hole to my house is sitting on the bottom," I snapped as I rolled my eyes. Looking back I saw Kurama had pulled out a fifth Katana. This time he glared at me. "What? It is a spar!"
"So wasn't the other four. Do you have any more that I should worry about?" Kurama growled. I thought about it for a minute and then turned back to Kurama.
"Yeah, about ten to fifteen more. I can't remember how many I have already broken or sold... So I would say about twenty at most," I said. Watching while Kurama rolled his eyes I wondered why it was so annoying to have so much stuff.
"Hiei, lets make this faster. Do you have anything other than the black clothes you where everyday?" Kurama asked as he stood up and glared at me. I acted as thought I was thinking about even though I knew the real answer.
"Only the outfit I borrowed from you for Easter earlier this year," I said smiling. Usually I would return the clothes but he forced me into keeping that one. We had never celebrated Thanksgiving though. I watched as Kurama turned to Harry and Harry watched him. The two exchanged silent words until they switched. Harry turned to Hermione and Kurama turned to Ron. The four also exchanged words before turning to me with evil smiles on their faces. I watched with certainty that they were about to attack me and subdue me so that way I would have to go to Hogsmeade with them.
"Hiei, will you come peacefully?" Kurama asked as he advanced upon me with one side. Turning to my other I spotted Hermione. Harry and Ron where no where in sight. I frowned and backed out of the door. Trying to make a break for it I spotted Ron and Harry. Both stopped me from running and in a matter of moments I was caught and being dragged down to Hogsmeade.
"How do I always get stuck into things like this?" I muttered as Kurama dragged me down the stairs. My head hitting the end of each step. "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow."
"Will you walk by my side and not try to escape?" Kurama called from before me. I nodded as he turned his head over to see my head nod. After a second he let go. I stood and watched Kurama for a spilt second and then took off. Only to be caught by one of the many plants that littered the many floors of the castle.
"Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow," I repeated over and over for my head hit the different stair edges. After about three hundred more steps we finally hit solid ground. I didn't pay attention to time afterward and next thing I knew was that we were standing outside the gates for Hogsmeade.
"We are here!" Kurama called. I growled.
"I can see that thank you!" I growled. Kurama let me go and took off for one of the many stores. I stood in surprise and then thought of just turning to leave but something had snagged my legs and held me in place. "Great."
"Yup, don't you just love plants!" Kurama said as he walked out the store and forced the plants to make me follow him. I growled and let the plants lead me...

Harry's POV
"I wonder if Kurama has found anything for Hiei to wear," Hermione said out loud. I sighed and turned away. It wasn't really our problem. At this point I felt something drop onto my shoulder.
"At least your not the center of attention," Ron said. I looked at him surprised and looked around the hallway. Conversations where going on around me and they didn't stop as I passed. No one was following me around and not a single pair of eyes stayed on myself for over five seconds.
"Yeah true," I said. Suddenly everything went silent. I went to turn and glare at Ron but the crowd went quite cause of Kuroune who was walking over to me.
"Hey, do you three know where Hiei and Kurama headed off to?" Kuroune asked. Hermione nodded.
"Yeah, they are at Hogsmeade," Hermione said in a uneasy tone. Kuroune smiled and then headed off. I watched as Hermione began to swoon over Kuroune.
"What is this about?" Ron suddenly growled.
"Isn't he so awesome?" Hermione asked as she sighed and stars began to show in her eyes.
"NO WAY!" I cried. Turning round the hallway I spotted all the girls checking Kuroune out. Quickly I turned to Ron. He looked close to tears over something. "Excuse us Hermione!" I said as I grabbed Ron and took off. Some other guys followed us.
"I can't believe my girlfriend likes that demon!" cried one of the guys. He was in Hufflepuff and was named Charles.
"Yeah! A mean look at me!" cried a Ravenclaw named John.
"How bout me and my girl! It took her forever to notice me and then it takes her not even half the time to notice that demon creature!" cried one of the most popular Slytherans next to Draco.
"Yeah, well what should we do?" cried another Slytheran named Keto.
"We should kill him!" called someone. I frowned and turned to Ron. He had a saddened face.
"Ron, are you ok?" I asked the teen. Ron shook his head no and turned away.
"After all these years I thought she would have figured out. But no, she falls for a demon creature and not me!" Ron snapped as he turned. Tears fell freely down his face and surprised everyone around. No one would have thought that this would happen.
"Ron, don't worry. We will get her to come back to her senses. How, I don't know," I said as I began to comfort the red head.

Kuroune's POV
"Kurama, Hiei! Where are you guys!" I called as I walked around Hogsmeade. The two were no where to be seen. I was about to give up before I spotted a large clump of red hair. Quickly lunging forward I prayed it wasn't one of the Weasly brothers or sister. "Kurama!"
"Kuroune?" called the red head as he turned and spotted me rushing toward him. He smiled and upon reaching him, gave me a big hug.
"What are you doing down here?" I asked. Kurama pointed over to a short figure next to him. It was Hiei and he seemed to be holding bags from some of the stores. "I don't understand."
"Hiei needed an outfit for Thanksgiving and here it is," Kurama said as he dug into one of the bags and took out a red shirt and black pants. I smiled and nodded. They were dressy looking. I smiled and wondered why Hiei would really agree to that.
"He tied me up," Hiei suddenly snapped as he moved his legs. I looked down and saw some plants had wrapped themselves around his thin legs. I smiled and soon joined the two in their shopping.

Two days later... Readers' POV
Slowly everyone headed over to the Great Hall. It was about three four in the afternoon and they had no lunch. Everyone was really hungry and couldn't wait to eat. As fast as they could each person finally sat and waited. Dumbledore stood before everyone and began to talk.
"This is a holiday for mostly all Americans but with the few Americans we have here, we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving just this once. Unless everyone likes it. Thanks to the Americans we have everything all set up. Now enjoy your first Thanksgiving here at Hogwarts!" Dumbledore called as loads of different foods appeared on the tables. Turkey, potatoes, onions, stuffing, some type of green slim, peas, sweet potatoes, and more.
"YES!" everyone cried and in a matter of moments, not one kid had food on his or her face...
