Hogwarts School of Detectives

Chapter 6

Dee-sklim-mar: Waddeva.

Notes: Well, the plot should unfold soon. Yawn... Perhaps the next chapter.

Yusuke sat in a leather chair in Professor McGonagall's office. His hands were behind his head, and his feet propped up on the desk.

"Would you please refrain from putting your filthy shoes on my desk. I just washed it."

Yusuke turned around, startled. Professor McGonagall had returned. Hands on her hips, she spoke in a soft voice, not a dangerous one though.

"I know you have a few questions, I hope they will be answered. The other will be here in a moment. Until then, would you like a strawberry tart?"

"Yeah, sure." Yusuke took a piece of the edge of the platter, and nibbled on it, thinking of who these "others" were.

He didn't have to wait long.

The door opened as young Koenma stepped in. "Hello Yusuke. Long time no see."

"KOENMA!!!!" Yusuke screamed, spraying everyone with strawberry tart. (Yes, screamed)

"No need to freak out Yusuke." Koenma said calmly, wiping chewed tart from his hat.

"Sorry. Why are here?"

"That Yusuke, should be obvious."

In the next few minutes, Dumbledore and his fellow detective team walked in.

Dumbledore took a seat across from Yusuke. He folded his hands formally, and stared straight at Yusuke.

Man, those are some creepy eyes. No wonder they made him Headmaster.

"Welcome Yusuke. I find it a great honor to welcome you personally."

"Yeah, whatever old man." Yusuke mentally kicked himself. He could tell by McGonagall's glare that that was no way to speak to the Headmaster.

But Dumbledore merely smiled kindly.

"I suppose you know why you are here. And if not, then I will tell you we are here to answer questions we know have been bothering you." Professor McGonagall's voice was tight, like she wanted to raise it.

Dumbledore nodded to Kuwabara. "I suppose you would like to explain first."

"Okay, uh, well, ya see. I've been going to school in all year, and coming here too, using this thing called a time-turner. It allows you to reverse time." Kuwabara glanced around stupidly, and Yusuke really wished he could smack him silly.

"Okay, is that it?"

"Most certainly not! You are also most likely wondering why Mr. Koenma never told you anything about this. Well, that is because he didn't know. We had no idea who to tell and what with the confusion of the new term, we flat out forgot." She paused, giving Yusuke and the others a moment to take this in.

"It's alright. Just try to remember. You had me scared for a moment." Kurama chuckled softly as he said this.

"I see. Well then, another thing to explain. As you know, you are rooming with a very special young boy. Mr. Potter is quite famous. The Avada Kedavra is a very powerful spell. It kills not by your body; it kills your soul directly. We know how, but Harry doesn't. Yet. He-who-must-not-be-named also has not a clue. He has been weakened from that day many years ago, and for all any of us know, could still be alive. Undoubtedly, he will be stalking Harry. He wants to finish the job." Professor McGonagall stopped again, looking around the room, watching everyone's expressions, and continued.

"We knew you possessed powers and strength to do amazing things. We know you have tremendous power. And so, what with both you and Harry arriving this year, we thought it would be of a great convenience to room with Harry, to watch over him." Dumbledore said calmly. He was always calm, it puzzled everyone. Those blue eyes held calmness, and unspeakable wisdom.

This was all answered with a "Hn. So were baby-sitting again?" Hiei asked, glancing at Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"HEY!" Yusuke and Kuwabara answered at the same time. Kurama chuckled to himself.

"Now children," Koenma warned. When everyone shut up, he spoke. "Well, when I finally DID find out about this mess, I also saw a couple good conveniences. I would prefer it if you used your spirit energy alone, but in some cases, you might find it easier to use magic. But, there is another problem that I think you already know."

"Yeah yeah, having a case of the demons in the middle of a class."

"Right on Yusuke." Koenma cleared his throat, and for a moment, Yusuke feared we would start yacking 'til kingdom come. "We have decided the fate of the world is far more important than classes, so, feel free to ditch a class if there's a case. But in the rare event of an emergency, in which you cannot come, we are training a couple people to help. But, they are only 2 people."

"Who?" Kuwabara asked. To be honest, he was a bit envious of these 'people'.

"Well, I'm going to tell Hiei in private, I'd hate to have him freak out in the building-"

There was no need to say any more. They all knew who it was.

"YOUR LETTING MY SISTER FIGHT THOSE FEROCIOUS MONSTERS!?" Hiei roared. Without another word, he gave Koenma a very inappropriate finger gesture, and jumped out of the window.

"Well, that went better than I thought. I expected him to blow up cussing all over the place."

"Uh, Koenma, he gave you the finger." Yusuke pointed out.

"But he didn't blow up cussing all over the place." Koenma replied.

"I wonder who this sister of his is." Kuwabara thought about this for a moment, only to be interrupted by Koenma.

"Now, let's get back on topic. This other girl, Shin, she has some history with Kurama. Not big-big history, but enough history for her to remember him. She seems to be an okay warrior, so, she'll do just fine. But, I doubt we'll need to use then with you. And I bet Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are sick of sitting pretty. So, anything you want to say?"

"Nope, that will be all."

"Alright then, you may get to bed. Professor, will you escort them?"

"Of course, Headmaster."

"Hey, where are Jin and Touya?" Yusuke asked.

"They already know."
