***************
Harry and Ron were trailing behind the class as they went to the edge of the forbidden forest. " Do you think he's going to sacrifice us or something?" Ron pondered. Harry sweatdroped. " Ron, I know he's an odd ball, but I don't think he's that odd…"
" Okay class! Are you ready?" Soujiro asked with his-oh-so-famous-Soujiro-smile. Everyone nodded and muttered a yes. " Alright, step lightly now," Soujiro gestured for the students to enter. The class cautiously went in a ways and saw Hagrid.
" Aright," Soujiro started, " Mr. Hagrid's going to help us with this, since we're going to be seeing a very dangerous creature." He saw everyone's faces drain. " Don't worry! Hagrid's got it under control, and if it tries anything funny, I know what to do as well." He then turned to Hagrid. " Ready?" Hagrid nodded. " Yessir. This wa' kids," Hagrid said and lead them a bit off of the trail to a little grove. Everyone fell silent when they saw a dark horse.
" Is that a unicorn?" Lavender piped up. " In a way, yes. This is a 'false unicorn'." Soujiro said. He saw that the girls looked ready to run up to it and start petting it. " Don't go near it unless instructed, these things are tricky," he said. He then nodded to Hagrid.
" Righ'. The false unicorns are known ter 'ave a hypnotic gaze that rend'rs a person helpless," He then cleared his throat. " Then they eat 'em." Everyone gasped. (A/N: I dunno if there is such thing as a false unicorn, but hey, I can't think of anything else to use but a werewolf and Harry probably might think it's Lupin :p)
" So today," Soujiro said, gaining back their attention, " We're going to learn the proper spell to destabilize their hypnotic gaze. Without it, they can't eat you." Hagrid went up to the black unicorn and turned it around. It had a blindfold on as well as a leash. Soujiro got in front of it. " Okay, Hagrid," he said while pulling out his wand. Hagrid nodded and took off the false unicorn's blindfold. Its eyes were yellow and red, and looked bloodthirsty. Harry gulped. It then spotted Soujiro, and it's horn started to glow a faint tint of purple. " This is how it gives off it's hypno waves," Soujiro said quickly, " It looks at it's pray and uses it's horn to give off the waves in the target's position. That's why they need to see." He pointed his wand at the false unicorn. " Grimba Linos!" (A/N: I made that up too. ^_^;) A silver ray shot out of the wand and hit the False Unicorn's face, making it squint its eyes shut and it's horn stop glowing. It neighed in annoyance.
Soujiro turned back to the class. " Grimba Lunos is a blinding spell. But it sometimes can be used to temporary stop the opposer's train of thought. Good for quick escapes." He then got everyone to line up and try it after the false unicorn recovered and Hagrid brought a couple more out. And, if you didn't guess, Neville got hypnotized a few times.
" This might come in handy in trying to get rid of Voldemort's—Ron! Get over it!—followers in case they try to get you, Harry," Hermione said, then blinded the very annoyed false unicorn with the spell. Ron looked like he needed to crawl into a hole and rock back and forth for a while. Harry nodded. " Yeah, this is a pretty nice trick," he agreed, then blinked the same false unicorn when it regained sight. " Professor Soujiro can't be in cohorts with Voldemort—Ron!—if he's teaching us this stuff, right?"
Harry thought she had a point, but Ron didn't. " I still think he's up to something," he grumbled in a Moody fashion when he was suspicious. " Oh Ron, get over it!" Hermione sighed. " No!" Ron exclaimed. " I shall never give up my opinion for the right of Butter Beer!!" Harry and Hermione sweatdroped. " …Ron had the 'Butter Beer' that his brothers made last night for their joke shop, didn't he?" Harry asked. " Yup. It should war off by lunch….I think."

Kenshin scuttled through the halls that he was semi getting used to since he was supposed to try to get to know the area of the castle better that day. Not to mention had to make a schedule plan for his class, that will start tomorrow, and learn how to handle his wand. (Though that didn't go that well) He didn't really like this idea, and yet he thought it would be fun….
Well, as in possibly blow up a few million things fun. Kenshin then went into what was called the Great Hall to get something to eat. Man! He was starved!! That Snape didn't let him get any breakfast or lunch. ' That man has issues,' He thought while remembering what happened earlier that day….
// " Now, let's try that again," an agitated, patient-wearing wizard said to the red haired swordsman. " Oro…okay…" Kenshin raised his wand up and pointed it at an empty cauldron. "Reducio!!" he shouted a bit scratchily. The cauldron then wobbled a bit then fell on it's side. Snape sighed in frustration. " For the last time, you must say it clearly. Reducio!" Snape pointed his wand at the cauldron and it started to shrink to Barbie size. He then glared at Himura.
" Oro…I'm sorry, but the thought of handling this thing is a bit nerve racking, that it is," he said in a timid voice while clutching to his wand.
" Yes, yes. I know you nearly destroyed the Wand shop yesterday, Mr. Himura. But you STILL need to learn how to use that thing…. Honestly, all you Japanese are so strange."
Kenshin raided an eyebrow. " Oro? How would you know?"
" Oh, there's another one of you scurrying about the castle," Snape droned broadly as if he was a king talking about a peasant. " I believe he came from your time as well." Kenshin striated up. " Who is he?" He asked in anticipation.
" Seta Soujiro I bel--"
" ORO?!?!???!" Kenshin screamed. Snape flinched a bit. " Please keep it down, Mr. Himura," he hissed. " You know Soujiro?"
" Yes, but I didn't know what happened to him after I defeated Shishio." Snape had no clue who Shishio was, but pretended to know. " Yes. Very fascinating to defeat him…now, let's try to get this right."//
" Where is Soujiro anyway…" Kenshin muttered to himself as he stopped in the entrance of the great hall. All of a sudden, a majority of the students hushed as he entered and stared at him. Kenshin swallowed nervously. He looked to the other end of the great hall to see Dumbledore and other teachers of this school sitting in a row. Must be the teachers' table. He then saw Soujiro sitting next to a very, very large man with a bushy beard and a tattered coat, smiling at him and ushering him to sit next to him. Kenshin smiled back and walked down to the teachers' table and took his seat next to Soujiro.
Dumbledore rose from his seat and everyone fell dead silent. " Students, I'd like you all to meet a special teacher today. Professor Kenshin Himura," Dumbledore then motioned Kenshin to stand and he did, then bowed to the students. " Very nice to meet all of you, that it is. And I hope that that this year will be very good for all of us, that I do." He then stood up strait and smiled. The girls from Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and even some from the other two houses clapped enthusiastically since, A.) They thought he was cute and or B.) He seemed to be friends with the ever so popular Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Soujiro. There were a few guys who clapped to be polite in Ravenclaw and Griffindor, but in the others most of them just grumbled to one another about how the girls were acting.
Kenshin sat down and he and Soujiro exchanged smiles as though they were elementary kids who just pulled a prank on their teacher. Dumbledore cleared his throat and everyone was quiet once more. " He will be teaching a new club that is going to start tomorrow. The Mitsurugi Club of the Heart of Swords and Wands." Kenshin blinked, then whispered to Soujiro, " What am I doing again?"
" Teaching these kids who join the club some of your Hiten Mitsurugi styles and some tricks with the wand," he smiled; obviously he was told what Kenshin was going to be doing earlier. Kenshin squeaked out an "oro", then the head master continued, " He will be teaching those who attend the meetings how to properly handle using swords, enchanted or not, and special wand techniques." A lot of the students 'ooo'ed and 'ahhh'ed at this while Kenshin thought, ' Enchanted swords?'
" Now, let us eat!" He then sat down and everyone clapped.
" You're definitely going to have a lot on your plate, Mr. Himura, and I don't mean your dinner plate. Even though you do have more on it then you did five seconds ago," Soujiro said. Kenshin looked down at his plate to see what in the world the younger swordsman was talking about, and, indeed, there was food on it. " This really is a place of magic…" Kenshin murmured. " Yup. It sure its, " the smiling youth replied, then took a bite out of his rice ball. " They even had the house elves make rice balls just for us since we're from another country. Isn't that nice?"
" Soujiro…How did you get here?" Himura asked after nibbling at his chicken leg. " Oh, I just meet some strange person in a robe when I was on my journey and everything else went downhill from there," he said. " That was about, oh, a month ago I believe." A month? " I just came here a couple of days ago!" Kenshin said. " Yeah, they couldn't find where you lived at first," he said. " Otherwise you would've arrived as soon as I did and got used to everything a bit." So that's why he had little time to adapt to anything and was just rushed here. He then took a sip of his gold goblet. " Mmm, what is this?"
" Pumpkin juice," Soujiro said, and then took a sip out of his. Pumpkin juice and wizards and witches; Cliché. (get it? Hehehe ^_^;) " Good, huh?" Kenshin nodded, then finished eating his plate of rice balls, chicken, his cup of soup and his goblet. " Delicious," Kenshin smiled. " Come with me, Mr. Himura, I'll show you around!" Soujiro then grabbed Kenshin by the arm and dragged him out of the hall. He then stopped a few meters from the door. " We should probably bring a student along," Soujiro said. " Why's that?"
" Because they know more about this school then we do, and even though I've been here a while, I still can get lost. Wait here." He then went back into the great hall.

" I dummo 'bou hat Hoshiro gy," Ron said with a mouth full of food. " Ron! Where are your table manners?" Hermione sighed while rolling her eyes. Ron swallowed. " What did you say again, Ron?"
" I said, I dunno about that Soujiro guy. He seems suspicious of something…"
" Like what?" Hermione raised an eyebrow.
" Being a …well, git of a teacher for one," Ron stammered while trying to come up for a reason why he thought the young swordsman was 'suspicious'. " Oh, Ron! Don't be a Slytherin," Harry smirked. " Although there is something funny about him…"
" Ha!" Ron stuck his tongue out childishly at the witch of their group. " You're such a baby," she said.
" Excuse me, you guys." All three of them looked over Harry's side of the table to see a smiling Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. " I hope I'm not interrupting on anything, but could you three help me show Professor Himura around the Castle when you are done eating?" he asked. Hermione jumped to her feet with a big smile. " Of course, Professor! We're actually done already."
" Actually--" Ron tried to protest, but Hermione stamped on his foot under the table. He glared up at her after trying not to yelp. " Thanks a lot you guys," he said sincerely. " Come on, he's waiting for us." Ron went over to Harry and muttered, " Great, we get to go through the whole Lockheart conspiracy again."
Harry got that strange feeling again, just by looking at the Rurouni. He didn't know if it was a bad thing, or a good thing, but there was something weird about this guy. Kenshin smiled at Harry, making him doubt the fact that Kenshin was with Voldemort for a moment. " Shall we give Mr. Himura a tour now?" Soujiro smiled. Hermione nodded vigorously while Ron and Harry just gave one slight movement of the head. They then went to show the parts of the castle to Kenshin so he HOPEFULLY wouldn't get lost. But we can only pray for that to happen.
" Um, Professor Himura?" Harry looked up at the red haired man, noticing that he was only an inch taller than himself. " Oro?" Kenshin blinked. Harry figured that meant what or something. " What is this 'heiten missugo, or whatever it's called?" he asked. " It's--" he began, but then Soujiro put a hand on his mouth and quickly said with a smile, " You'll just have to find out like everyone else tomorrow!"
" Hemph?" Kenshin's muffled 'huh' came from behind Soujiro's hand. Soujiro leaned to Kenshin's ear and whispered, " Come on, Mr. Himura, it'll be funner (is that even a word?) this way if they don't know. Where's your sense of fun at?"
" Back in Japan…" Kenshin muttered after Soujiro removed his hand. Harry and the others looked at each other, then back at the Japanese Professors. " Well, if you won't tell us that, then could you tell us what you're going to do for our lesson tomorrow?" Hermione asked. Soujiro winked. " It's a secret." Hermione looked like she was going to faint from that wink.
" Oh bloody hell…" Ron muttered.
