Meeting Hermionie

The plane ride was long and uneventful. It was also very irritating to a certain individual named Hiei. Botan had purchased a pair of headphones, and was enjoying the show on the miniature screens above the heads of every fifth seat. Kurama was reading a book. Yusuke was playing a fighting game on the game-boy he stole from Kuwabara about ten minutes into the flight, leaving Kuwabara to look out the window and pout. Hiei was thinking at the time. (and because I care if I'm the one to cause you the loss of your sanity, I don't think I will tell you what he was thinking about right now)

The flight was almost over, and Yusuke and Kuwabara had both fallen asleep. Luckily, they got up a lot easier than they did last time, after Botan woke them up.

"Now you remember what your supposed to do right?" Botan asked Yusuke.

"Of course, we find a person, go to the Halloween store, and then go a freak school. I think that covers it."

"Yusuke! Would you please take this more seriously!" Botan yelled, drawing attention from other passengers. "Yup, that's what I would say if you asked to jump off the plane because it's too slow." Botan tried to cover. The audience of passengers accepted the impromptu cover-up, and resumed their previous activities.

Seeing the heads turning away, Botan continued, whispering this time, "Yusuke, this isn't your typical, go beat up someone, and be done with it. You're a Spirit Detective not a Spirit Soldier, or what ever. You're on a search and report mission ONLY. The only reason Koenma sent you, was because you're human, and can play the part. Not to mention, you're strong enough to defend yourself from almost anything, and with the high death rates of people raving about magic, have been increasing for a while, that may be useful."

"Hey, wait. If it matters that I'm human, how come Kurama, Hiei, and you are coming along?"

"Yusuke, even though I'm a demon, I'm now also human. I think it's the fact that I've been basically born as a human is what she is referring to." Kurama whispered to Yusuke, not wanting to be overheard.

"Exactly!" Botan agreed, not bothering to be quite anymore.

"Hey! What about shorty here? How come he's coming? Last time I checked, he was a demon." Kuwabara asked.

"Well, he's not going to be a student." Botan explained.

"Huh? What do you mean not a student!" Kuwabara exclaimed.

"Didn't Yusuke tell you? Hiei is going to looking around at the area and stuff, while you boys check out the classes, and learn more about this 'magic'." Botan said, getting quieter.

"Why am I the last one the know anything?!" Kuwabara complained.

"Easy, because you weak, and annoying." Hiei supplied.

"Shut it shorty! I could kick your butt if it wasn't so close to the ground!"

"Don't you two start fighting now!" Botan said.

"I agree, a plane isn't the best place to start a fight." Kurama said.

"Hn. It's not like the idiot stood a chance."

"What did you say you little pip-squeak!"

"Kuwabara. The plane is not a good place to start a fight." Kurama restated.

"Fine."

"Oh, hey Botan. I almost forgot. You didn't answer why you were coming." Yusuke said.

"I told you. I'm to keep you in shape, and in line!"

"No, I mean school-wise. You're not human." After Yusuke the plane landed, but the group ignored the pilot's voice, and the crowds of people leave, so they could continue their conversation.

"Yusuke! I find that extremely offensive! Of course I'm human! What did you think I was a demon?"

"Wait, I thought you were the grim reaper." Kuwabara said. (convenient that the people were leaving isn't it? ;-)

"She is idiot." Hiei stated.

"True I'm the grim reaper, but before that I was human. When I died, Koenma offered me a job."

"Kinda like Uremeshi huh."

"Sorta, but the circumstances were much different. The grim reaper that found my soul, started working around the mid-rule of Koenma's father, and wished to go on to eternal rest, or at least I think that's what she said..."

"Well, shall we go?" Kurama said standing up.

"Now that's a good idea!" Yusuke said also standing up. The group grabbed their bags, and left the plane.

"Now who are we supposed to meet?" Yusuke asked Kurama.

"A girl named Hermione Granger. She's supposedly a very bight student." He coolly replied.

"Great a prissy witch. This is going to be fun." Yusuke muttered to himself and the reached the interior of the airport.

"Hey! I think I found her!" Kuwabara announced, as he pointed to girl with bushy brown hair, holding a sign saying "Japanese Exchange Students", written in Japanese and English. That was the only sign like it, so the group decided it must be her, and started to walk over to her.

Hermione Granger was a very smart girl. She studied, and learned everything there was to know about something, even if it really didn't matter. Although she was so smart, she had had decided she knew enough about Japanese people, to be able to help them buy books, and find the train. When she first received the letter from Dumbledore, she was a little surprised, she had never heard of such a thing as Japanese witches, and wizards, but not wanting to object, she replied saying she would be happy to show them around. That's not the part that shocked her the most. The part that surprised her was when a group of 5, not 3 came to her, when only one was shot with black hair, and his was sticking straight up! Didn't all Japanese people have black hair, and weren't they all short?? The people coming to her were tall (for the most part), the tallest having orange hair, the boy shorter than him with long hair that could put the Weasleys' to shame, and a boy about the same height looked pretty arrogant, with gelled back black hair(at least he was a little more normalya right!), the short one fallowed also looking a bit arrogant, and there was also a tall girl with them, with bright blue hair.

"Are you Miss Hermione Granger?" the red haired one asked.

"Umm… yes, that's me." She was taken aback by this, shocker Hermione is surprised! (Sorry if she's OOC, but that's how it works ;-)) they didn't look Japanese, and they spoke English fine, was there a misunderstanding? "Are you the Japanese students?"

"For that school with the weird name… Hogwarts, ya, that's us." The tall freaky haired one said, and then after looking at the girl, he noticed she was sort of petty, "I have a girlfriend, I'll have you know." Leaving Hermione, what's the word… weirded out.

"Give me a break Kuwabara." The 'normal' boy said to more to himself, and then, "Don't mind him, Kuwabara is just an idiot. 'Course I would say it was genetic, but his sister is way smarter than him."

"What was that Urimeshi!?!" the orange haired one said, trying to attack the other boy, but failing. The black haired boy seemed a lot more skilled in fighting than the other one.

"You two stop it right now! You're going to give her the wrong first impression!" the girl spoke, but while she was talking the red haired one started talking to Hermione again, like this was a normal thing, and was used to it.(If Harry Potter was an Anime, I'm sure Hermione would have a sweat drop around here…)

"Sorry about those two. They really are good friends." Kurama tried to explain.

"Are you sure?" She asked, baffled by it.

"They're just that way. The one with the orange hair is Kuwabara, the other one is Yusuke Urimeshi, and she is Botan. My name is Suichi, and I believe yours is Hermione right?"

"Yes, that's right." She said looking past him at the strange site. She went to a school of magic, where people can turn into cats, and mice can be turned to wine goblets, where centaurs taught class, but two best friends who beat each other up on a regular basis, that beat them all. "I'm glad my friends at least like each other." Hermione said, thinking how glad she didn't have to pull them apart like Botan did.

Focusing back on Suichi, or Kurama, "I was told there were only supposed to be 3, so why are there 5?"

Kurama quickly replied, "Well, originally there were to be only Yusuke, Kuwabara, and I, Botan came sort of last minute, but I don't know where you got 5."

"Him." She said as she went to point at the short boy, but he wasn't there. "Oh, never mind, I just assumed that another boy was part of your group."

"That's no problem."

"Oh, not to be rude, but your English is incredibly good."

"Thank you, but really, only Botan and I can speak it, the other two are wearing charms from your headmaster. I look forward to meeting him."

"Oh, Dumbledore, he's brilliant – Oh! That's my Mom! Mom, over here, don't worry, I've found them." (fyi: I haven't read HP for a while, and can't remember if her mom EVER really appears, so she will just be your typical mom.)

Sorry All my chappies are short, I type slow, and thought you might want to read more, so I posted it anyways. I've decided to re-read HP 5, but bare with me here… I didn't look up any names --u I will be unable to type all Dec. sssooo hehe even longer wait! . Don't hurt me. I think I'll type the next ch. faster though, because I think I know what I want to happen in that one, but I still really don't have that big of a plot in mind. So if you want to give me a suggestion please do, but don't tell me to write yaoi or anything, NO BOYBOY RELATIONS or YyhHP person pairings. I'm just a bad fanfic writer, and have never tried romance (fyi, my made up stories are better than fanfics) If I hint at relations it would be Yusuke and Keiko, and Hermione and (XXXX) (I say Ron…J)
