Warnings: Yes this is a yoai, so if you don't like please leave rather then continue to read and flame me. This is definitely going to be AU and there will probably be some OOCness, though I will try to keep it down for the most part. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This story takes place in fifth year for Harry and the others. But due to AUness everyone believes Voldemort is back due to the fact that two of his followers let it slip-Crabbe and Goyle-and Umbridge is not a teacher at Hogwarts; So Dumbledore is still well liked as is Harry.

Judge: Wake up you lazy muse and do your job.

Felix: Ok Ok. Judge Lady no /own/ nothing so no sue or you will /get/ nothing.

Judge: Good muse

Chapter 2: Then, Now, & Dumbledore

Several hours of talking, yelling, and-in the end-fighting is what it took to make Kouga stay and Sinko go. But later that night after Sinko had disappeared into the forest that surrounded the pack and Kouga was left alone by himself after being knocked out, the latter boy snuck out to keep his word to the former one.

Sinko and Kouga met up some distance from the den and both quickly set to coming up with any thing and every thing they could think to try. As days went by however Sinko only got worse, he grew pale and became barely able to move. By then end of the second week the silver haired half inu could barely struggle to his feet, and Kouga was getting desperate. He had to do something to help his brother.

So he did the only thing he could think of and started throwing together a potion they had already tried, maybe they just needed to use the same one several times. But something went wrong; Kouga must have grabbed the wrong herb in his panic as suddenly the potion he was making started to bellow purple smoke. The ookami started to cough the second he caught sent of the smog, but could not warn Sinko as he was quickly enveloped in the smog and the world went black.

Sinko grew rather worried when Kouga's coughing suddenly disappeared. The other had been coughing for a few days now, and the half inu had the sneaking suspicion that despite the other's assurances he too had been infected by the inu Ookami killing virus he currently had. He had little time to think on it however as he too was quickly enveloped in the purple haze and the world went black about him as it had his brother just seconds before.

Sitting in the back of Professor Snape's potions class three figures sighed watching their fellow Gryffindor as once more he managed to mess up another potion, causing the current potion he was supposed to be making to start spewing purple smog.

"Longbottom, what have you…" Professor Snape started but stopped mid-sentence as he recognized what the potion was. "Every one out of the room now!" he half snarled half yelled. There was a good bit of noise as the class quickly complied with his order leaving the Professor on his own. Snape wasted little time in clearing out Neville's latest potion disaster, and just in time too as he had nearly been consumed by the purple smog. As the smog cleared away the Professor was left with a rather big surprise, two knocked out demons.

Kouga was first to stir and after shaking his head a couple of times to clear his head he soon spotted Snape and grew worried. He was quickly on his feet and between his brother and Snape. One hand was resting near the hilt of his sword and the other he flexed, debating which would be better to challenge this ningen with. He was an odd ningen though, his smell was a bit off for what he was used to, well no matter. He was still a rather evil looking ningen and he was still far to close to his sick brother for his liking.

Snape watched as one of the boys made to protect the other. He wasn't going to harm either of them, well not yet any way, he did not know who they were. "No need for that boy, I won't harm you. Now who are you and how did you manage to make that potion?" he asked his gaze locking onto Kouga's.

Kouga blinked as the man spoke. What language was this ningen speaking? It sounded like a lot of gibberish to him. "Baka Inu" he muttered glancing over his shoulder at Sinko who was just starting to stir.

Sinko groaned, as he woke from the affects of the potion gone wrong. He lay still for a moment before he managed to open his eyes. /What's wrong Kouga? Where are we?/ he asked once he was able to tell who was in front of him.

/I do not know, but wherever we are their language is a bunch of gibberish. I couldn't under stand a word this human just told me./ Kouga replied not allowing his focus to leave Snape.

Snape barely managed to keep the shock from his face when the boy before him spoke. Apparently he didn't speak English, and that was going to make this hard. He watched as the second boy struggled to his feet behind the first. What was going on if this one was helping the other why didn't he help him stand, and where were they from. His scowl deepened, as he turned and headed for the door where his class was waiting. "You go get the headmaster and bring him down here, tell him it's important and it can't be brought to him." he stated motioning to Ron one of the two Gryffindor Prefects. "The rest of you back in the classroom, and watch out for our…guests" he said shortly, not happy about having his class interrupted like this.

He followed after the class and saw that for once in their lives they were listening to him and were avoiding the two strange boys. He made his way back towards the two only stopping his advance when it caused them to retreat from him. "Ok let's try this again." He said allowing his usual sneer to deepen in his annoyance, these two better learn to speak english and rather fast or he would not be responsible for his actions. "Who are you both and how did you make he potion that brought you hear?" he said restating his earlier questions.

Sinko blinked a couple of times hearing the strange ningen talking. /What in the name of all that is holy did he just say?/ he asked Kouga as he leaned on his sword shifting his weight from Kouga's body. He didn't know who this ningen was, but he wasn't sure if he could trust him; And if he couldn't be trusted then Kouga would need his body free so he could defend them.

Kouga smirked /No clue, but that's the same shit he spouted at me last time./ he replied allowing his hand to drop from the hilt of his sword. He shifted watching the other ningens that had come in with this one when he had come back, he did not like this, too many of the new ningens looked like they would defend this one. So he was not going to be able to fight his way out, not when he sill didn't know what was off about their smell.

Before anything more could happen however a slightly flushed Ron returned followed quickly by Dumbledore. "What is going on here?" the headmasters asked as his gaze shifted over the two new arrivals and then back to Snape.

The potions Professor nodded towards the two boys and then to Neville "He had another mix up with his potion and managed to create a switching potion. It switches all those caught with in it's fog with another set of it's captives in another time or place it was cast. I do not know which of these boys made the potion but one of them managed a rather complicated potion on his own." He explained keeping his gaze on Kouga.

Dumbledore nodded his understanding before returning his gaze back to the ookami and half inu. "It seems you have done a good thing boys, making something rather difficult on your own. Can I ask who you both are, and which of you managed the feat?"

Kouga growled at the bearded ningen this was getting tiresome "Noroi ningen. Baka inu goshujin nanten." He said. He didn't have to look at the half inu to know where the second growl was now coming from; he knew it was Sinko. /Don't bother Sinko. You know I'm right. You were the one who got sick in the first place./ he add before his brother could do anything stupid and allow these ningens to know he was sick.

Sinko continued to growl for a moment, but after so long with Kouga he knew he brother's thoughts; And frankly he agreed. He really didn't need these people to know just how sick he was so rather then bother trying to argue with Kouga he sighed. "Hai." he replied in response to Kouga's statements before returning his gaze to the newest ningen.

"I see the problem now." Dumbledore said after the boys had finished speaking. He returned his gaze to Snape "I suppose this means you don't know what language they are speaking then." He added with a sigh. "Ron will you please go get professor O' Mally." The bearded man stated looking back at the red headed prefect that had just brought him in.

Ron nodded and rushed off again, this time to fetch their new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher.
