Harry Potter and the Dragon's Breath

Makai Goddess Ookami

Ookami: Woohoo! I finally updated this! Not that it's impressive; this is at the top of my list...

Kuronue: Something impressive would be... I don't know, a plot, maybe?

Ookami: I'm working' on it! Next chapter they get their school supplies, and then they need to meet Dumbledore... And... Hogwarts express is after that.

Kuronue: (rolls eyes) Wonderful, we got incite on the next three chapters...

"Oi! Urameshi!"

The shrill call filled the air, as Yuusuke turned to see a red haired youth running towards them. He slid to a stop, almost crashing into Botan. He hopped up and down on the balls of his feet, hands shoved into the denim pockets of his blue jeans. The other four just stared at him, surprised.

"Jin...?" Yuusuke asked, startled.

"Aye," he smiled, folding his arms behind his head and laughing childishly.

"What are you doing here?" Kurama asked, standing besides Yuusuke and Botan.

"Well, I thought it was rather obvious," Jin frowned, "I came here to be your guide. I'm to take you to Daigon Alley!"

"Daigon Alley?" Yuusuke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, right, we aren't supposed to say anything in front of humans..." Jin frowned, "Anyways, follow me!"

The blue eyed demon grabbed Yuusuke's arm, and dragged him off into the crowd, the others following. Jin talked animatedly the whole time, pointing out buildings and places saying what they were. After a moment, Yuusuke stopped.

"Hey, Jin?" He asked slowly, reaching over to poke where should have been the other male's horn, "What happened? Your ears...?"

Jin stared at him for a moment, before pulling a small stone pendent out from the under his green shirt. "It's a charm," he explained, "May-Lin makes them, you know. She gave one to me because I stand out too much." He frowned, "I don't understand what she meant by that."

Yuusuke understood all to well, but decided against telling him. Jin was much more tolerable when he was in a good mood. Well, Yuusuke thought, if he was pouting quietly it would probably be easiest to stand his presence that way. He wouldn't say that to his face, either.

"Well..." Jin smiled again, "The Leaky Cauldron's over here... We'll be staying here for a week, so you know..."

Jin's voice trailed off as he pushed open the door and gestured for them all to enter. Which they did. They looked around the crowed pub, noticing it was a tad on the occupied side, but that didn't stop Jin from hopping towards the main desk.

"Oi, Tom," he said, watching as the man slowly walked towards him.

"Yes?" Tom frowned.

"The three rooms done?" he asked, cocking his head to the side, a frown spreading on his lips.

"Yes, here are the keys..."

Tom handed over the keys to Jin, who thanked him and practically skipped to the table where Yuusuke and co. were sitting. Plopping down, he handed one to Kurama and one to Botan, keeping the third to himself.

"Alright..." Jin frowned, as if trying to remember something, "Botan gets her own room, being a lass and all... And you three share." He pointed to Hiei, Kurama and Yuusuke. "And before you complain, I'm sharing a room with Touya."

"Touya's here?" Kurama asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jin nodded. "Last time I saw him (which was an hour or so ago) he told me he was going to get his books for school..."

"Books... Which reminds me," Kurama frowned, "What do we need for school?"

"Oh, a uniform, books, a wand," Jin shrugged.

Kurama gave him a look which clearly read 'disbelief'. Yuusuke was frowning at the idea of having to carry books around. Botan looked enthralled with the whole idea while Hiei continued to pout silently. Jin read their looks and grinned.

"Touya's got the whole list, most likely," he shrugged as an after thought, "But this place... You just have to see it..." Jin smiled.

"Then why don't we?" Yuusuke asked, "We can get out of here. Like... right now. Go away and never come back."

Jin looked confused at Yuusuke's... ranting, but Kurama smiled and said, "He doesn't want to go to school."

"Oh, well, I'm sure it's not that bad," Jin frowned, "I've never been to school but..." Yuusuke mumbled something along the lines of 'lucky you' before Jin continued. "Touya won't let me leave here. He's afraid I'll start a riot. Like I'm that dumb..." Jin snorted, insulted.

Yuusuke chocked on his water, which Botan had gotten him and the others. He looked up at Jin who once again began ranting about the wonders and ways of the magical world- well, the wonders and ways he had seen so far. He'd only been there for a month or so, from what Yuusuke had gathered.

Jin glanced at his watch, before looking over at a back door. "Touya is late... he better not have forgotten..."

"Forgotten what?" a silver blue haired male asked coldly.

Jin turned to stare at Touya, who was standing with his arms folded over his long sleeved pale blue shirt. Jin laughed slightly, almost nervously. It was as if he was afraid of facing the ice demon's wrath. Either way, the male sat down across from them, frowning.

"I've just been collecting money from the vault, after I finished purchasing all of my books," Touya explained, pulling out a number of small satchels that jingled noisily from his bag.

"Botan," He said, handing a pink one to her, "Yuusuke, Kurama," both were green, "Hiei," black, "And Jin," this one was red. He held his own blue one up for them to see. "Inside it is enough money for your school supplies, and a little extra for whatever you all might want."

"Where did you get this money?" Yuusuke asked, peering inside.

"It's mine," Touya frowned. All eyes turned to stare at the ice demon, who made no sign he noticed. He waved his hand, "Koenma is having trouble dealing with the three worlds," he explained, "And you can bet you will all be paying me back."

Yuusuke might have groaned, but as he peered at the money closely, he realized he had no idea what it was. He looked over at Kurama who was holding it up, examining it in the light and Botan who was rolling it between her fingers.

"It's called a galleon," Touya said as an after thought, "There are some knuts and sickles in their too... I don't know what the exchange rate is; I never bothered to look it up."

"I see..." Kurama said, putting the pouch in his sleeve. "When shall we get our stuff?"

"Now, if you all are ready," Touya said.

Ookami: You know, I really love Touya. He is one of my all time favourite anime characters.

Kuronue: This is why he gets a bigger part then me. (Scowls)

Ookami: Shut up, you get a part too, you know!

Kuronue: Yeah, as you can see Yukina and the Gringott's scene was cut out completely. Why? Because Ookami didn't really like it that much. Isn't that a good enough answer?

Ookami: Also, I'd like to say that I have found a way to work in most of the demons I love. But I bet you won't figure out how. (Sticks tongue out.)
