Chapter the Next

Disclaimer was earlier.

Professor McGonagall looked absolutely stunned at his outburst. Apparently whatever it was that she had said was a translation spell of some sort.

He was attacking you, Her tone was a mix between confused and scolding, and we can't have people attacking our students. Harry glared for a moment before growling.

NO, you attacked HIM

McGonagall's face started to color red and she sputtered in indignation.

I never, Her voice was scandalized, you were clearly under attack by this strange, the rest of her speech was cut off by both Harry's growl and the introduction of another voice.

Ahh, Harry, so this is where you've turned up. McGonagall turned to see the headmaster. Harry retained his defensive posture in front of his friend's form and didn't say anything.

You gave your class quite a scare I dare say. Mrs. Granger burst into my office saying that you'd jumped out the window. He gave Harry a smile, I know that Professor Binns is rather uninteresting, but you don't have to such extreme methods to leave the class.

Harry snorted but didn't say anything.

Headmaster, what are you talking about? McGonagall's voice was confused.

It seems that Harry jumped out of Professor Binns's classroom. Professor Dumbledore's eyes turned to Harry. His posture asking for an answer while McGonagall looked absolutely stunned.

Harry didn't respond even though he knew the Headmaster wanted an answer to his unspoken question. The concept of being polite and a responsive just didn't appeal to Harry at the moment. For it was these people who were keeping him away from what was really important, and then when he managed to snatch a piece of practice, they took it away.

After a moment of silence Professor Dumbledore spoke again, Well, seeing as we can't have students jumping out of windows, I'm going to have to give you a detention. It'll be carried out with Mr. Filch next Tuesday. He shifted his attention to the stupefyed boy at Harry's feet. And who might this young gentleman be?

Get away from him, Harry growled while McGonagall spoke up He was attacking Harry,

Professor Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at the two different answers. Minerva, what's this all about?

The older woman composed herself while figuring out what to say.

I was walking to my office when I looked out the window and saw these two fighting. I quickly ran up and saw that this strange boy, Harry growled, was attacking Harry, so I stupefyed him.

You attacked him, See you just admitted it. Harry nearly shouted at the woman. He wasn't doing anything wrong and you came along and attacked him.

She did say that the boy was attacking you, Dumbledore said.

Well of course he was fighting back, Harry said, his tone suggested that he thought they were pointing out the obvious, It wouldn't be a proper match if all he did was dodge and block. he sneered at professor McGonagall, It was going great until she attacked Hibiki-san for no reason.

The talk stopped when a groan came from the boy on the floor. McGonagall looked at the Headmaster, people shouldn't be able to throw off the effects of a stupefy without the aid of the counter charm. Harry scanned the two teachers for a hint of what they might do, then seeing that the seemed content to stand and stare, knelt down and gently patted the boy's face.

Hibiki-san, come on wake up,

The boy grunted in response and muttered, Hari, why don't you ever call me Ryoga?

You never told me to, Harry replied in a matter of fact voice, but that's not an issue right now, he was going to continue when the Headmaster's voice cut in,

Hari, you know this boy? Harry gave the headmaster an incredulous look.

Why did you think I don't know my best friend? Harry was amused at the incredulous look on the professors faces but frowned slightly when he heard Hibiki whisper Best friend?

Of course you're my best friend,

Ryoga looked stunned at the matter of fact proclamation.

Well, as much as this seems to be a misunderstanding, you still have classes to attend. Dumbledore said to Harry.

Harry did something that he never would have thought of doing before. He refused.

No, I haven't seen H. . Ryouga in a long time, and the last time he saw me I disappeared from the middle of the ocean. he looked to Ryouga then back to Albus, in all likelihood, he's going to continue on his journey within a day, so I'm going to spend this time with him, he tossed his head I'll go back to classes tomorrow.

Albus frowned, I really must insist. It is very important for anyone to attend their classes.

Harry scowled back for a moment, glanced at Ryouga and returned his scowl to Professor Dumbledore.

Can he come to classes with me?

Professor Dumbledore gave Harry a searching look before smiling and saying, I don't see why not, as long as it's only for the day.

Harry paused a moment to think before nodding and he gave a curt Deal before grabbing Ryouga's wrist and the amulet then sprinting into the building, leaving a confused Professor McGonagall and a smiling Dumbledore behind him.

AN:

Yes, I know it took me a long time, and my next update might take longer. I've gotten a new job and ya know, the moment I get home I look at the bed and it just calls to me. I've got no will power. The thing sucks me in and there I am waking up to my alarm clock.

As to the querstions I got in me reviews, FFNET says that there's 16 chapters because they were doing something weird with their system while I was trying to update, so the system got it in its head that I updated three times when it only posted the update once.

As for why I've got this story in the harry potter section as opposed to the Ranma section. Well, it's Harry centric and thus would be flamed out of the ranma section. I've got a delicate ego and id so flames really incense me and thus I prefer to avoid them when at all possible.

Thanks for listening to my babble, and expect a long delay for the next post.
