Chapter Five: Second Floor Encounters, It's a Trap!
"Lets just leave them here I'll keep them guarded by my miko powers. Come on you guys are past your bedtime." Kagome said shooing the Gryffindors to their dormitories. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked up the stairs happy to have their professor back and being able to witness the birth of dragons and their parents standing near by. They knew in the morning when everyone will see Kagome there might be some explaining to do including why they had to delay their new subject combat training because of some dragons waiting to be taken to a new home.
Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived in the Gryffindor Corridor and said the password to enter their common room. They entered and ran up the stairs as quiet as they could. When they got to the Sixth year's floor they stopped to talk a bit.
"Well it seamed Professor Higurashi is all well. But bliemy she brought some dragons with her. How did she do that? My brother Charley has trouble trying to keep the dragons in line, yet she got all of them to come without any trouble." Ron said turning to look at Hermione with his blue eyes, to see if she thought of any theory for how Kagome had gotten the dragons into taking her to the school.
"Well I think it has something to do with her being a miko, you know what they say about Miko's." Hermione turned to look at both Ron's and Harry's puzzled faces. "You guys should really read Hogwarts: a History about magic. Well it specifically says that a miko has the ability to communicate with nature, and so they could also communicate with immortal creatures such as: Unicorns, Hippogriffs, Phoenixes, Dragons, Merfolks, Demi-gods, etcetera. So I guess that she could do it, and that she is that good to be able to get out of the place where Voldermont had taken her."
"You got a point." Ron said as he scratched his head. He was starting to feel very sleepy and had the need to get to bed and fall asleep.
Looking at Ron with a sigh Harry motioned them to their dorms. "See you in the morning Hermione, We got combat lessons tomorrow and Inu Yasha and Kagome are gonna train us hard. Good night."
The next day was mighty busy, with all the missed work the students had to listen closely to what Kagome had to say. Inu Yasha sat on one of the neighboring trees as he watched Kagome try and teach her students some real combat fighting. Everyone on the Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw groups gathered around them with some sort of medieval weapon in their hands. They ranged from Bow, and Arrows to Japanese styled fans, from Swords of all types to Javelins.
"Okay you guys. You have to channel your powers through the weapon of your choice. If you noticed already my powers are blue and pink. Yours will be different depending on what characteristics you posses." Kagome turned to the tree Inu Yasha was sitting on and fired. The arrow blurred blue/pink and Inu Yasha jumped for all he was worth from the tree rather than be incinerated with Kagome's powers. Kagome turned to the students and said with a happy smile. "See now find an object and try and make your powers go through the weapon so you may destroy the object." As the Students retreated far away from the argument that was sure to begin with the miko and the demon, they commenced practice, Harry, Luna and Neville being more successful than most.
Harry turned to a struggling Hermione, and smiled for a moment before saying "It looks like there is something your not good at in the beginning. But keep practicing Hermione, you might get better fast."
"Oh be quiet Harry. Just because you got good in minutes doesn't mean that you have to rub salt in the wound." Hermione finally got her Fan to glow a deep emerald green. Just before she aimed and shot at a rock that was sitting there. A small silver of Green emerald crept out of her fan and hit the rock making it explode. "See I did it. I just need to practice to get better."
"Speak for your self." Ron said as he tried to shoot out of his staff, yet nothing happened. His weapon was changing to glowing from a deep rusty red to orange, yet nothing came out of the weapon when Ron tried to get it to fire. He wasn't about to go ask Kagome to help him because she was having a heated argument with Inu Yasha and nobody wanted to disturb the flow of energy between the two. After a while Inu Yasha walked off to help someone in need of a real leasson in swordsmanship. Kagome in turned walked around the area looking at the progress of her students and at those whom needed a little help in trying to channel their powers.
A week later while everyone was eating lunch and were talking about the training and the latest fight between Inu Yasha and Kagome which involved one of Kagome's pillows which was found in Inu Yasha tree. Everyone had a hell of a time watching the argument unfold, hell they practiced their DA and then when perfected their spell to an immediate active when summon they would watch Kagome and Inu Yasha argue like never before. Mostly everyone was eating some sort of flavored Ramen (the schools new favorite dish thanks to Inu Yasha). The owls post mails came in, multi colored browns to grey, white and black owls came into the Mess Hall dropping the mails in front of each student. Then came a giant Barn owl that carried a very fat looking Cat which by all means being that high wasn't scared, it just looked bored.
Harry, Hermione, Dean, Ron, Ginny, Neville and a couple of other students turned to look at the giant cat in the claws of the owl. They watched in mild fascination as Inu Yasha jumped from where he was sitting into the air like a rocket gone slow motion as he took the cat from the startled owl and landed with grace before back jumping into the air to land back in his seat with the lazy cat in his claws. "Buyo!" the Dog demon exclaimed happily. Harry, Hermione and Ginny watched in fascination as the Dog Demon sat down with the fat cat that did not run away like the rest of them. Lets explain why everyone was surprise, mostly everyone whom had a cat was afraid that their cat could get hurt, plus Inu Yasha wasn't helping much because he always chased the first cat he smelled, saw or heard.
Kagome walked down from the Staff table and sat down next to Inu Yasha. "See I told you mom would send Buyo if I'd asked her to." Kagome petted Inu Yasha's bouncy ears as he tried to get Buyo to do some exercises . Harry, Ron and Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindor table watched the dog demon play with the lazy cat that just did what the dog demon made it do.
The bell rang and mostly everyone that was Slytherin or Hufflepuff sixth year followed Kagome and Inu Yasha to the DADA room. As they entered they sat down on their seats and began to practice their dissolving/invisibility spell "Desorvois Vistais" They practice on the frog available to them, they keep getting new ones when they couldn't find the other ones, and everyday they had a fresh batch of Frogs ready for practicing spells.
Inu Yasha laid on the floor with Buyo on top (not that way you perverts) and he held Buyo by the front paws as he began to swing his little body back and forth. Kagome sat on her table taking notes on what everyone was doing and how well they might make on the next test they had to take.
Draco was getting pretty bored as to what everyone was doing and also was getting pretty frustrated at not getting this spell right away. Crabbe and Goyle were trying their best at not shoot each other with their wands and their frogs kept getting away of getting killed. With a malicious look Draco walked up to where Kagome's Desk was seated at the front of the class. Eddie saw what Draco was about to do.
"Professor Higurashi, may I ask you a question?" Draco asked with a sick sweet smile. He held a flask of warts potion he had made and sneaked out of the Potion's classroom the day before and he was gonna get back at Kagome for not getting rid of the dragons once and for all.
"Sure what is it Malfoy? As you see I have many things to do, and next lessons test to plan." Kagome smiled a genuine smile but behind her closed happy eyes was a sharpened miko and she had detected a malicious vive coming from him since he had gotten up. She knew what he held behind his back and then what he planed on doing.
"Oh well I just wanted to know if you-" Malfoy was cut off by Inu Yasha which took the bottle held behind Draco's back and put it on the desk. With a slight "Keh" Inu Yasha walked away from them, going back to his original position of playing with lazy cat.
"Well, well Mr. Malfoy it seems you were gonna play a cruel trick on me, forty points from Slytherin for Mr. Malfoy's deceivement and a week of Detention for you." Kagome said with a very calm serine voice, most of the class felt the chills her aurora was expelling. Kagome was not known to give detentions but now they guessed she had every right to do so.
The month of November passed quickly with out major battle involvement, most of the students have had some battle combat with minor youkai's and random trolls, ghouls and zombies. They were found wandering the outskirt of Kagome's aurora field and where trying to get in unnoticed. The fist Hogsmead weekend was uneventful and the next was looked forward to with Inu Yasha and Kagome in tow. December the first arose with great packs of snow on the school grounds and many of the students were happy to have just over two weeks before winter Vacation was to commence.
Harry, Ron and Hermione sat alone by the very end of the Gryffindor table chewing on some bacon and eggs as they finished breakfast so they could go to History with boring Professor Binns.
"Another day with Professor Binns, this couldn't get any worse. I'm gonna got o sleep in that class again." Ron sighted with annoyance at having to attend a class which he considered unnecessary. "Can we copy your notes later Hermione?"
"Ron I already told everyone that I'm not gonna be handing my notes to everyone just because they fell asleep in class." Hermione grabbed her notes and books and began to walk out the Mess Hall.
Ron and Harry followed her through the hall, the rest of the Sixth Grade Gryffindors were already snoring in their seats as Professor Binns began his lesson on the Great Wizarding War that lead to World War one in the muggle world.
The next day was a commotion in the Mess Hall. Everyone had heard about the two new additions to the faculty and were now viewing them for the first time. The Taijin in the fighting combat out fit stood out with the giant boomerang strapped to her back as Inu Yasha introduced her as Sango. Most of the girls began making her their idol by following her around, when not in class. When Miroku was introduced as a Perverted Monk, no one believed Inu Yasha till most of the girls ended up slapping him for caressing their backside or asking them to bear his child. It was made a rule that all girls were to travel in numbers for the safety of wandering hands.
Harry, Hermione and Ron looked up as Inu Yasha walked up to the Gryffindor table followed by Sango, Kirara and Miroku (Shippo decided to hang out with Kagome at the faculty table.); He spotted Lavender Brown and Pavarti Patilt as he walked by them. Finding the people he wanted to see he sat down next to Ron and Harry. Sango went to the other side and sat next to Hermione as Miroku sat beside her next to Neville Longbottom.
"Hello, I'm Harry this is Ron, She's Hermione and that's Neville. Welcome to the Gryffindor Table." Harry said. Everyone nodded in coherent with their names being called. Sango and Miroku stared in wonder as plated filled with food appeared on the table. Ramen, cakes, eggs, sausages, Bacon, toast, jam and butter. Many of the students served themselves and began to eat a healthy breakfast. Sango served her self a little of everything and some pumpkin juice for a taste. Inu Yasha as always took a bowl of Ramen and munched down. Miroku took whatever he wanted, plus he liked how the things just appeared out of the table like magic.
"Lets eat!!" Sango and Miroku said before digging in to their breakfast with glee at how delicious the food was here. The students around them seemed to offer advice to what food was good in their opinion and they tried a few things. Neville spilled some Pumpkin juice on his robes and was cleaned up by Hermione who did it without a thought. The Gryffindors began to chat with the shard hunting group as they waited for the right time to leave to their morning lessons.
Just then Peeves waltzed into the Mess Hall with a bucket that was dripping goo and smelling like dead animals. Most of the students stopped eating and ran out the double doors to go vomit their breakfast thanks to Peeves. Kagome stood on the Hufflepuff Table and took out her wand. With careful aim she took the bucket from Peeves and sent it hurling to the Forbidden Forest. Peeves turned to the miko with a slight nervous look. "Hello Professor a pleasure seeing you here. I'll be going if you don't mind, my Lord the Bloody Baron waits for no one to clean the Bloody cloak and scrub his sword." Peeves was beginning to back away to the doors.
doors.
"I don't think so Peeves. First you scrub the dungeons and South Tower then you can do what you have to do." Kagome said with a grunt of disapproval. " I want the South Tower Spotless when I go up to investigate something later. Do I make my self clear?"
"Yes perfectly clear Professor. I'll be seeing you around Professor, ta ta." Peeves flew out the room with a force to make many robes fly. The rest of the Morning hours were uneventful. As Kagome explained to the students that Sango and Miroku were to take over the Combat Fighting class, a loud explosion was heard from the other side of the forest, by the town of Hogsmead.
"Inu Yasha lets go!!!" Kagome yelled as she grabbed her bow and arrows. "You guys have a free period today. Practice your fighting because next time you'll demonstrate your abilities of combat. Stay close to the school, we'll go see what the commotion was about." With a land Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome and loaded her on his back as he took off towards Hogsmead. Sango and Miroku followed on Kirara, as Shippo was left behind to watch the students.
Harry turned to look at Ron and Hermione with shocked faces as the other students from other houses began to fill the mess hall with questions with no answers. It was all stopped as Professor Snape shouted above everyone else.
"Silence! Now there is nothing to worry about, Professor Higurashi and her mutt companion Inu Yasha should be well equipped with the knowledge to fight the problem presented. Lessons are about to start to I suggest you all to get a move on to your classrooms, now." Snape turned to glare at Harry as Harry and Ron packed their books and began to walk away. " I better not hear that you snuck away Potter or I will get you for it. This is not your battle to fight, it's theirs."
Snape exited the mess hall through the teachers lounge, leaving Harry fuming with embarrassment at the suggestion at him always wanting to be the hero of everything. Hermione tapped his shoulder and motioned him not to listen to Snape.
"Hermione's right, Harry, Snape is just jealous that he never gets to fight the Dark Lord and his followers." Ron scratched his head as he moved to follow Hermione out the door. "Besides, Kagome will make sure nothing happens to everyone else, and Inu Yasha is the best fighter that we have seen. Come on lets go Professor McGonagal is gonna be bloody mad if we are late again."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked through the halls leading to the stairs to climb to the second floor corridor; the hallway was growing gloomy and dark, yet it was still morning time not evening. Outside on the top of the school a thunder cloud clapped and the school shock with the proximity of the thunder and lightning. Yet not a drop of rain fell. Some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws walked up the same hallway but they were murmuring something under their breaths. Harry listen as they climbed to the Second floor.
"I heard that the Dark Arts Professor left to defend Hogsmead, cause her shield went down."
"Yeah I know I saw her leave with her companions."
"But what if that was a trap?"
"What do you mean a trap, Selene?"
"What if the Dark Lord Came for Harry and got a distraction in Hogsmead to get rid of the only defense we have. I think it's a trap!"
"Yeah, I agree this seems too fishy, even for my taste."
"Oh Derek, do you always have to see the dark side of everything?"
"My father died in Azkaban for following the Dark lord, I have to be able to predict both sides of the color scale. Besides Professor Treadwell says I'll be a great seer if I want to, I have the third eye for it."
"Yeah well so does, Katarina, She's so perfect but she's a Slitherin."
"Yeah well you all know Gryffindors have been beating Slitherin, does them right, I heard that Granger beat Malfoy for insulting her. A perfect come back, beaten by a rivaling house girl. I wish I could have been there."
The corridor turned pitch black before they got to the second landing, some of the girls huddled into a tighter group. Harry shivered as his scar began to burn in a pulsing warning. Taking out his wand her said, "Luminos." The tip lit up, lighting the hallway. He held it above and motioned to the students to stay quiet. As they neared the corridor Peeves peeked out a crack in the wall.
"The Dark Lord is in the School, I would not creep out of the hiding place if I were ya. He's after Potter's blood. Be careful, who knows if he'll find you all and kill you. Too bad Professor Higurashi is gone, we could really use her help here." Peeves murmured as he clung to the wall pressing his phantom figure to the shadows of the wall, blending in nicely.
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other then turned to look at the students huddled behind them. They knew what they had to do, that is why they had created the DA club during the middle of the night. Harry nodded with understanding as Ron and Hermione readied their wands. He glanced at those he knew went to the club when it was scheduled. His voice was grim as he said.
"Those who go to the DA club please ready your wands, surround those who do not go. If the dark lord is looking for me, he might attack all of you. Separate into groups to the classes you all have together. Those who go to the DA know the Expelloramus spell like that back of your hand, you will be using it if push comes to shove." Harry narrowed his eyes at those he knew from DA club, "You will stay in groups and protect those who are with you. It doesn't matter that you are not gonna personally fight the dark lord but you must fight every obstacle like its him. Voldemort-" Many of the students winced at the name, others held their ground but still shivered. " will not give up easily, fight for your houses, the school, your friends and your selves. It is time to use what we have learned and hope it is enough to keep ourselves and those with us alive."
Selene and Derek looked at each other. Many of the Ravenclaw girls took out their wands and got ready; the boys had theirs out illuminating the narrow staircase. Some of the Hufflepuffs, had their wands and some spell books out ready for action, most were in groups deciding who went to which class and how many were their for their protection. Luna Lovegood smiled at Harry as she nodded taking out her wand and getting ready to blast some evil monster into the next century.
As they began to walk to the Second floor corridor exit, a figure blocked the light as lightning hovered over head. Many of the students gasped, others stood still at the figure lit one of the torches and said with a sadistic grin.
"Hello, Harry Potter."
