Oh yeah! Chapter 5, folks! We've made it to third period! Cheers! If you'll remember, all the Inuyasha characters are now at Hogwarts through an unfortunate accident with the well, and they've just finished their lunch. Neville is up and walking again, for an "unexplainable" reason, and we've got a new character: Nao, the purple-haired witch cousin! Miroku narrowly escaped Malfoy's torment and Inuyasha has been sitted properly. (I'm sorry! I just... Like making him sit!) Meanwhile, Naraku and Voldemort have made the Unbreakable Vow, deciding Voldemort should go after Inuyasha and Naraku should go after Harry Potter. The terrors of Snake-Monkey Voldaku! Mwah!

Snape watched his new students closely.There was something about him that he didn't like. It wasn't just the pointy claws or the dog ears... It was the fact that they were both remarkably untalented. Sure, the kid could erupt into flames, and the... Dog could lift a cauldron over his head, but... What use was that?

Making a love potion was harder than it looked. Inuyasha stirred worriedly. What if something went horribly wrong and he turned Kagome into a frog? Because, for certain, Kagome would get a good taste of this potion, whether she liked it or not.

"...Hand me the chopped roots," he said with a determined expression.

Kagome and Sango stood across from eachother, holding their newly ordered wand.

"Feel the power of my Holly and Unicorn," Sango laughed.

"Feel the wrath of my Oak and... Dragon heartstring," Kagome answered, sticking her tongue out. How disgusting. Demon heartstrings weren't one of her top favorite things in the world. The two practised happy spells on eachother over and over. Finally, both of them collapsed in a fit of giggles.

"Girls, please!" the instructor shouted. Sango, who was happy about everything at the moment, was still glad Kirara wasn't here to watch her. That would be embarrasing... No! It would be happy! Happy!

Kirara was exploring the castle, creeping around one of the towers. She looked up. There was a trapdoor in the ceiling, but how to get up there without attracting attention? She couldn't transform in here.

"Hello, kitty," said a girl with enormous glasses, carrying a magazine which read "The Quibbler" in big pink letters. Kirara mewed.

"Luna?" asked a misty voice from the ceiling. The trapdoor dropped open with a loud creak and a rope ladder rolled out. Kirara jumped on Luna's shoulder and allowed the girl to carry her up.

Professor Trelawney screamed when she saw Luna.

"A... A two tailed cat!" she gasped. "A very, very bad omen! Put it down, girl!"

"It... It's just a cat," Luna squeaked. Kirara jumped off her shoulder and scampered behind a mirror.

"Yes... Well... That's a big enough scare for today," Trelawney replied, with a hand to her heart nervously. "Now... Let's see..." They both sat at the large crystal ball on the table.

Miroku stared at the broom on the ground. It looked old and dryed out. He wondered if it would give him splinters.

"U...Up?" To his surprise, it rolled on the ground on it's own. Maybe this would work after all. "UP!" he commanded. The broom zoomed to his fingers. He sat on it. It felt right, somehow. He dropped his staff in order to grip the broom. He just had a feeling... He pulled up on the handle and the broom lifted him off his feet gently. He knew what to do. He leaned forwards and lifted straight off the pitch. Making a wide circle around the feild, he searched for his friends. They must be indoors. He ignored the cries of the teacher, screaming in protest, and instead floated straight up to the windows of Hogwarts, peeking into every one. It was his own good luck that he missed the washrooms.

Kagome looked up from her fit of laughing in time to see Miroku stop just outside the classroom. She was still pretty happy about things.

"Sango, look! It's Miroku! What fun!" Both the girls gathered at the window, giggling. Oh, my, Miroku thought gleefully. He stretched a hand in through the window.

"Hello, Sango," he said, reaching for his secret spot. Kagome kept laughing, but the effects of the happy spell suddenly wore off for Sango.

"Mirokuuuuuu," she snarled, and caught him squarely in the face with a well aimed slap.

Inuyasha stared happily at his potion. He had somehow done everything right. That, for one thing, was a first. The other first was that he now had a bright pink love potion. Snape looked into his cauldron angrily. No, this couldn't be right. Nobody could make this potion. Not on their first try. He decided it was a cheap copy. They had done something wrong, it was a fake. And fake potions never worked. He dipped a flask into the cauldron and sniffed it.

"Class, I am now going to test this cheap phony potion we've got here, to show you what happens when you anger your teacher with cheap copies. If this is indeed a real love potion, I will fall in love with the first person I see, but if it's what I think it is, nothing will happen at all."

"Gee," Shippou said thoughtfully, "is that really such a good idea? I mean, there's a whole classroom of students here, and you're bound to look at one of them-"

Snape cut him off with a look of death. Shippou stopped talking quickly.

"That's alright. I will keep my eyes fixedly on you two. Unless you don't want me to drink, of course?"

"No," Inuyasha answered. "Not really." It was at this moment, as Snape was staring at Inuyasha, that he drank the love potion. For a moment, he seemed normal...

"Inuyasha..." he said softly.

"Keh. What now?" There was silence.

"Where have you been all my life?" Snape asked, throwing his arms forwards and chasing Inuyasha around the room. It was truly amazing how he managed to keep up with a fleeing half-demon.

"Aaaack! Shippou, help me!"

"You got what was coming," Shippou answered, sitting down and laughing with the rest of the class.

Kirara watched Luna and Trelawney stare into the crystal.

"Do you see what I see?" Luna asked in horror. "It's... It's Nao, isn't it? What is she doing?" Professor Trelawney gasped.

"No," Trelawney said in horror. "She's... She's colouring her hair with muggle dye! It's not magic!"

"Oh, dear, oh dear," Malfoy said, stepping out from the shadows. Both females in the room screamed in surprise. "It seems Nao isn't the true witch we thought she was. Perhaps... Dare I say it... She's a filthy mud-"

It is around now, perhaps, that I should explain that animals- two-tailed cat demons included- can recognize tone and meaning in spoken words. It was very obvious that Malfoy was going to say something very nasty indeed. Kirara jumped out at him with teeth bared and transformed right there. It took a moment for Malfoy to understand that he was facing 50 pounds of teeth, muscle, two tails, claws, and fire. But of course, once he recognized that he was facing 50 pounds of teeth, muscle, two tails, claws, and fire, he shot out from under Kirara and dissappeared out the trap door. The 'kitty' then changed again into the regular little kitten form and hopped on Luna's shoulder. Trelawny gaped but didn't say anything for a long time.

Well, that was fun! Unfortunately Nao wasn't in this one because she was busy colouring her hair with muggle dye! She'll be there next chapter, don't worry... In all her random glory. And, for your sneak peek as always, so will Neville! Yes- Neville will return for another chapter! And for that matter, So will the new Inuyasha and Snape duo! What really will happen with those two? And Kagome gets a taste of some Inu+Shippou lovey potion- but who turns out to be the lucky guy? Meanwhile it's Miroku's turn at sleeping draught potions, and Sango's turn at A History of Magic... Who will stay awake longer? And, finally, the death and destruction when Malfoy jumps Nao in the halls with his wand out! Although the outcome may shock you... Stay tuned, folks, we're gonna have another Harry surprise, too. No pun intended. And it involves blast-ended skrewts. Lots of blast-ended skrewts.
