Author's Note: Back? Glad you like my fic so far, let me know if there is anything in need of improving. Enjoy!
Disclaimers: I only own Youkai, 'kay, enjoy!
It was that time of year again. Then end of summer was approaching and time to get school supplies. Harry's O.W.L.S were perfect for his career choice. His scores were as follows:
Astronomy: A
Care of Magical Creatures: EE
Charms: O
Defense Against the Dark Arts: O
Divination: O
Herbology: EE
History of Magic: A
Potions: O
Transfiguration: EE
Lucky for him that Youkai was with him. She had insisted that she take him to get his supplies and take him to Hogwarts so they were together the majority of the time. This was perfect for his lessons. In a sort time he had mastered half of what she had to teach and was improving by the minute. They were together so much that Harry dropped the formalities and just used her first name, Tenchi. She was like Harry's older sister know and full of advice.
"So, what courses are you taking?" Youkai asked.
"Anything required to be an Auror." Harry explained.
"HARRY!" A young feminine voice called.
Curiously, Harry turned to the familiar, melodic voice. "Cho?"
The young ravenclaw girl nearly flew toward Harry and Youkai.
"Hi Harry." She greeted with a slight blush on her cheeks as her eyes wandered over his newly built body. "How ya doin'? How many Owls did you get?"
"See for yourself and I'm doing fine, you?" Harry replied as he handed her his results.
"I'm doing good, who's your friend?" Cho questioned suddenly realizing Youkai standing there.
"I'm Professor Youkai, I'm your new Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher and Harry's sensei in martial arts and the dark arts and such, I assume you are Cho Chang?"
"Yes, but might I ask, aren't you a little young, you look no older than I." Cho inquired.
"I'm half fairy Ms. Chang." Youkai smiled sweetly.
"Really? I've never heard of a half fairy, they must be very rare. What are you mixed with?" Cho questioned excitedly.
"I'd rather avoid talking about that for the moment. But if the question still plagues you in the near future then I may be more willing to answer. Know, if you excuse me, Harry, I'm going to get an ice-cream and take a nap at the leaky Cauldron so come back when you're done." Youkai yawned and waved.
"She was rather nice." Cho smiled nervously after a long pause.
"She is, she's also a great teacher. Do you think I could have my scores back?" Harry grinned mischievously, something he picked up from Youkai.
"Oh, sorry." Cho stammered. "Um, Harry, I just wanted to say, s-sorry, for last year."
"Don't worry about it, I was being insensitive so I deserved it." Harry's smile sweetened as he held out his hand to her. "Would you like to join me for a walk, or are you still buying supplies?"
"Sure!" Cho squeaked excitedly before blushing madly.
"Alright then, let's go." Harry laughed as he pulled her hand into his. From here she had a perfect view of the changed that took place in Harry.
He wore his black jeans and muscle shirt that hugged his built form perfectly. His cloths were tight enough to frame every muscle and show of his form but not tight enough to cut off a circulation. His legs were longer and slightly thicker and his arms well toned, she couldn't help but notice the natural bulge in his pants, though he wasn't aroused. His well shaped chest barely moved with his every breath. Around his neck was a silver necklace with the symbol of Griphondor. A similar design was on his earring. It was of Griphondor's lion, but the key difference was the snake that wrapped around it and fell into a loop under his ear and held the earring in place behind his ear. His skin was slightly tanned and his unruly raven black hair grew half and inch longer. His emerald eyes were narrowed and piercing. Fighting gloves covered half his arms with the same design as his uniform shirt but the silver dragon's tail wrapped around the length of his gloves.
"I didn't make that much of a change did I?" Harry grinned playfully.
"Yes you have." Cho breathed, her face deepening in color.
"Truly? I didn't notice. Come on, I want to check out 'Weasley's Wheezes'." Harry gave a gentle tug at Cho's hand causing her to follow close behind.
They walked down the road together, hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.
"Why is everyone staring at you?" Cho asked, slightly unnerved by how almost all the people stared.
"Not me, my scar. That and my looks from the women." Harry explained fluently.
"Why?" Cho questioned.
"They're probably checking to see if I really am the 'Boy-Who-Lived' and if I really am a spoiled delinquent." Harry chuckled.
"Does this happen often?"
"Every damn day in the wizarding world." Harry ran a hand through his messy hair as they entered a shop.
"Bloody Hell! Is that you Harry!?!" Fred and George exclaimed from behind the counter.
"Last time I checked it was. How've you been?" Harry greeted.
"Great mate, Business is booming!" replied George.
"Is your new teacher anywhere?" Fred asked.
"She'll be here in 3...2...1." The door opened to reveal Youkai with her puppy face on.
"Harry,-"
"No. I'm not making you a pinna colada. Yes, I will be out here all day, and when is our next lesson in Alchemy?" Harry grinned at Youkai's pout.
"Why not bro, I want a pinna colada!" She whined.
"Conjure it yourself sis."
"Then a chocolate milkshake? C'mon! I'm doin' some major PMSing over here!" She complained childishly.
"Fine, but you didn't answer my question." A chocolate shake appeared out of nowhere as he said this.
"You don't really need anymore lessons in Alchemy. In fact, all you have left for me to teach you is summoning." Youkai informed between sips from her shake and dropping the childish act so that there was an Aura of seriousness around her. "But you don't really need to worry about that, you've already read the book on it three times so I don't think you really need anymore lessons, just anger management." Youkai's childishness behavior was back.
"What's that supposed to mean!?!" Harry cried indignantly.
"You heard me, you get angry easy, and for good reason seeing that you still don't have an outlet for your fury." With that Youkai slurped the last of the shake before it disappeared as if it never was.
"I have no idea was you're talking about." Harry crossed his arms and pouted.
"Harry, is that you!?!" Hermiony exclaimed as she, Ginny, Ron and Neville entered.
"Yup. How are you guys?" Harry smiled before he got smacked upside the head. "What was that for?" he complained to his instructor.
"You still haven't introduced me, that's what." Youkai sniffed the air indignantly.
"Sorry, everyone this is my Sensei and our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, professor Youkai. Sis this is Hermiony, Ron, Ginny, Dean, Fred and George, and you've already met Cho." Harry introduced, pointing at the owners of the names as he said them, still rubbing the back of his head.
"Much better. Come along, it's time for your review on what I've taught you." Youkai began walking toward the exit with Harry in tow.
"Oi, you think we could come? We've already finished our shopping." Hermiony asked.
"Of course you all can, but make sure it's alright with your parents." Youkai smiled.
"It's alright, there all at the Leaky Cauldron." Ron explained.
"Alright then, let's go." Youkai held the door open for everyone to exit.
"Hey wait for us!" The twins called as they ran after them and flipped the closed sign. "We're not missing this!"
They all walked in a group toward the outskirts of town. Hermiony and Ron were bickering like a married couple over their owls and Ron had barley scraped up enough to still have a chance to be an Auror. Cho still held Harry's hand as the two engaged in a conversation about quidich. Fred and George were discussing new merchandise amongst themselves with the occasional input of Youkai.
Once they reached the outskirts Harry excused himself to change behind the bushes. The area was pretty much clear save for the occasional tree or shrub.
"Harry! What do you want to start with?" Youkai called as she twisted her hair around her finger.
"I feel for hand-to-hand combat." Harry replied as he returned in his combat attire.
"Lovely, now, your opponent shall be...a golem." Youkai suddenly fell quiet as the wind picked up around her. She rose her hand into the air, calling upon the power of the wind and releasing it toward Harry. Instantly it took her shape, but instead of a green corset and lavender hair, it had black hair and a red corset. "Ready yourself, she is at your level so don't hold back!" Youkai instructed. READY...FIGHT!"
Both combatants glared into each other's eyes, trying to find any weakness whatsoever. 'There!' Harry launched forward in a mad dash straight for the imposter, jumped into the air and round-house kicked at her head. A resounding crack could be heard from her neck as two more Youkai imposters, one with blue and the other with red hair and corsets.
Harry ducked just in time before two fists collided with his head and kicked at the red's midsection with such force that her spine snapped then performed a powerful uppercut to the blue's head, snapping the neck. Then came one in white and another in black which he performed a scissor kick, crushing the bones where his feet made contact.
"WEAPONS! READY...FIGHT!" Youkai bellowed as she summoned more golems to do her bidding.
Harry whipped out his wand and morphed it into a katana and took a fighting stance before a wave of 15 imposters charged at him, each holding a deadly weapon. They had him surrounded, but the more the merrier Harry thought at he slit several throats with one sweep and sliced the rest before his sword morphed to a barbed whip before another wave of them all but flew toward him.
He lashed at them all before throwing knives at them from out of nowhere before morphing his wand yet again into a bow and a quiver of arrows appeared at his waist.
He went through nearly every weapon before the form of defense changed.
"WANDS! READY...FIGHT!" the ground was so littered with corpses that movement was very difficult so he would have to rely on his stamina for this part of the test. But he had little to worry, the golems were easy for him, in fact, the whole thing was easy. He was at a calm when he fought, nothing but the fight registered in his head. Not everyone's shouts and cries, not Youkai, not even the crowd of witches and wizards that was growing by the minute, nothing but this fight. It was as if he was free, free of all worries. His every emotion just vanished and his mind was blank. He no longer felt any guilt or shame, sorrow or anger, they were obsolete and Harry was free.
Harry defeated every one of them easily and now it was time for wandless, elemental magic. The wind picked up and more of the golems appeared. After this he would take his test on Alchemy, then it would be all over and if he did well he would get a present accordingly. So Harry wasted no time. About 50 more imposters appeared only to be drowned, shocked, buried, crushed, poisoned or burnt to death. Time for Alchemy.
All of the corpses were brought back to life and surrounded him completely. There was no escape. As if it were needed. Harry immediately began chanting and forming symbols with his hands before striking the ground as if he's done it all his life. The earth around him shook as spires of stone erupted from the ground, impaling several of them and lifting them off the ground. But Harry didn't stop, he chanted and made different symbols as he morphed the dead bodies into spires made of bone in the air and sent them straight for the remaining golems. With a deafening scream the battle was over and the bodies returned to the wind that they came from.
"BRAVO! BRAVO!" Youkai cheered enthusiastically. "THAT'S MY STUDENT!"
"How did I do?" Harry asked, panting for air.
"You did wonderfully! I'm so proud of you lil' bro!" Youkai pulled Harry into a tight hug with his head pressed against her large breasts.
"I can't breath!" Harry whined, gasping for more air.
"Of course." Youkai released him before pulling him into another, gentler hug. "I'm so proud of you."
"Bloody Hell Harry you were wicked!" Ron exclaimed once he got over the general shock of it.
"Thanks."
"How did you learn all that over the summer!?!" Cho cried, full of excitement.
"When I find out I'll tell you. Anyway, is there anything I need to perfect?" Harry panted, wagging his white wolf tail.
"Wait a minute! Harry! You have a tail!?!" Hermiony jumped with surprise.
"Yeah, keeping your animagus half in check." Youkai chuckled moving behind him to block anyone else' view of his tail.
"Oops." Harry concentrated for a moment before his tail vanished back into his body.
"C'mon everyone, let's get some lunch and talk in our rooms at the Leaky Cauldron." Youkai suggested.
"I'm game, I'm starving!" Harry began jogging toward the inn with everyone close behind.
"Please can you transfigure yourself, please?" Ron begged for the tenth time since everyone entered Harry's room.
"No, I keep telling you, I can only change a quarter of the way."
"So we want to see." Cho insisted with a puppy face.
"Fine." Harry sighed before transforming as best as he could into an arctic wolf. However the change was far from complete. He had the tail and ears of the white wolf but that was all that was complete. Harry's pupils turned to catlike slits but held their original color. His bare feet turned to wolf feet with fur that barely made it to his knees and his hand and forearms had fur but held their shape with black claws at the end of each finger and toe. His canine teeth lengthened and sharpened and protruded from his mouth, but aside from that nothing really changed. "There, you happy?"
"Wicked!" Ron grinned.
"Wow! Lupin would love to see this!" George gasped.
"I would love to see what?" Lupin asked as he and the order entered.
"Look" Fred pointed "Harry's and animagus."
"Really, let's see then." Lupin stated.
"I told you, I still can't properly transform at will, I could only transform completely by the full moon." Harry repeated for the fifth time as he stepped from behind Youkai still partially transformed.
"Is that you Harry!?!" Tonks shouted, her hair a long fiery red.
"Yeah."
"This is amazing Harry!" Lupin cheered merrily.
"What are you all doing here? I hope it's not to escort me anywhere." Harry frowned, wagging his tail irritatedly.
"Yes cause he doesn't know of your training and your progress. We saw you fighting. You were amazing! You don't really need our protection. Plus I have a few questions for Youkai. How much more does Harry have to learn?" Lupin questioned with Harry under his arm.
"All he needs to do is practice his summoning and transfiguration." Youkai replied, yanking Harry's tail causing him to yelp.
"Wonderful! I just have a few questions though." Lupin began, scratching Harry's ear unconsciously.
"That's what you came for right, ask away." Youkai insisted as she sat on a nearby armchair.
"First off, tell me about summoning people from other dimensions."
"Okay, let's see, where to begin? Ah! In order to summon period they have to like you and want to help. If they are in another dimension and they don't belong there than you can bring them back, only if they want to of course."
"REALLY!?!" everyone but Cho exclaimed.
"Yeah, but you have to know the dimension they are in. I was just about to give Harry a book on the different dimensions and how to get there along with his prize for a job well done." Youkai informed easily.
"WHERE!?!" Harry bellowed.
"Hold your horses, we'll get it on the way to King's Cross." Youkai patted his head in order to calm him down before letting out a great big yawn. "But for now, I'm taking a nap. I'll give you some driving lessons when I wake up." And with that Youkai curled into a ball on the chair and fell sound asleep.
Harry growled in both irritation and expectation. I can't wait! Harry thought happily before looking at the time. 8:36 p.m. is what it read. "Guess I'll go to sleep too. See you guys in the morning." Harry yawned before dropping onto his bed.
"Let Youkai know that we'll be waiting for her downstairs in the morning." Lupin murmured as everyone filed out of the room.
"Sure. Speaking of which, Sis GET OUT!" Harry barked causing Youkai to jump and scream with fright. "You heard the message right?"
"Yeah seeya' in the morning." Youkai exited leaving Harry alone with Cho.
"Um, Harry?" Cho whispered.
"Yes?"
"Um, g-good-night." She stuttered before exiting.
"Yeah, goodnight." Harry said to no one in particular before falling to sleep.
Author's Note: You can probably tell where I'm going with this. I just can't believe Sirius is dead, in fact I won't believe it, so I'm bringing him back, nya. I hope you enjoyed the second chapter, please review, ciao!
