HPX 5

CHL: yes, Kuronue is coming. Usop (One Piece) has a new chant. 'Kuronue is coming! Kuronue is coming!' and no one's quite sure if he's serious. Well, I am. Kuronue IS in fact coming. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it and there is more… with Kuronue.

Mizuki Hikari: interesting? Is that good? You say continue, so I'm thinking yes. I read your bio. You speak Spanish. Do you read the Spanish fan fiction? And if so, do you know who 'Yue' (the yu yu hakusho one, not CCS) is?

Thanks to all my readers and reviewers.

Here's you fifth chapter since all of two people have asked for it. But y'know my friends, it only takes one. That doesn't mean you don't have to review. You never know if you'll be that one.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((start chapter five)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Nine and three quarters, I ask you." Touya complained as he, Jin, Kurama, and Yuusuke milled around between platforms nine and ten. In Koenma's report, it indicated that wizards had a habit of hiding things in impossible places. This was the most logical place to find a place called "platform 9 3/4." Now to find it.

"There." Kurama pointed as a red-haired boy ran at the barrier and passed through. They watched as a few more red-headed children, a boy with messy black hair and glasses, and a brunette girl went through followed up by a stern-looking red-haired woman. "Well," Kurama concluded, " I think we found platform 9 3/4."

"Hey guys!" Yuusuke started in surprise and the other three groaned softly at the sound of the way too cheerful and all too familiar voice: Botan. They turned and were and met with even more surprise. Tagging along behind her, was Yukina. Botan was dressed in casual jeans and a t-shirt and Yukina sported the colonial, long-skirt, boots, and blouse look. The girls smiled and waved.

Following at a respectable distance, was Hiei. He was actually dressed "normally" this time. Though still wore his usual boots and ward, he dawned a pair of black jeans, matching, black, denim jacket, and a white t-shirt. His gravity-defying hair was combed down and pulled back into a bobby ponytail; white streaks in tact and present in his bangs. He dug his hands into his pockets as he scowled at the world.

"Hello, ladies." Kurama smiled and bowed politely. Jin and Touya followed suit.

"Hey Botan." Yuusuke greeted, "What are you guys doing here?"

"We're going to be 'working ant the school' too." Yukina smiled brightly.

"Oh."

"I hat to interrupt," Kurama said, doing so, "But the our grows late. We should be going."

"Where?" Yukina asked, obliviously.

"Platform nine and three quarters." Touya growled.

"How?" Yuusuke pointed out.

"I've been watching." Kurama stated, "It seems that there is a portal and a weak illusion on the barrier. We need simply walk through."

"Portals." Yuusuke groaned.

"Well, let's be off." All five boys rolled their eyes at Botan's peppiness.

"Discretely," Kurama warned, "They probably wouldn't like it if we blew their cover; as weak as it is."

"They don't seem to be very discrete."

"We were looking for it, Yuusuke. And it was me who spotted it. Anyone else wouldn't notice."

"Let's just go."

"What's wrong, Hiei."

"I. Hate. London."

"And what exactly is wrong with it?" Touya took offense at the remark.

"England in general tends to be oppressive to anyone who isn't used to it." Kurama answered for the Jaganshi before he could be more offensive.

"That wasn't much better, Fox." Touya shot back.

"Le's jus' get a'goin', ne?" Jin said, attempting to avoid an all out brawl.

"Yes, shall we?" Kurama smirked.

((((((((((((border)))))))))))

"Harry, Ron, look." Hermione pointed to the aisle outside the compartment. The boys followed her finger to see seven people pushing into the compartment across from them.

"It's only a six person compartment." Ron marveled eyeing the two tall red-heads, a sizable, black-haired, obviously Asian man, and an average sized woman with blue hair. The last three were small but the sizes of the first three made up for it easily.

"There's no way they'll all fit." Harry pointed out.

"Ahh! You two are hopeless! That's not what I was talking about." Hermione ranted, "Do you seriously think those guys are students?"

"They could be seventh-years." Ron offered.

"We would have seen them around by now. Besides, there's no way they're seventeen."

"Teachers can ride the train." Harry reminded them, "We learned that third year."

"That's what I'm worried about." Hermione huffed.

"Why?"

"Third year was only one: our defense teacher. There's seven here."

"So?"

"So! So that means people are getting replaced!"

"How so?"

"Umbridge!"

Silence.

"That… can't be." Harry said, still mulling it over.

"It CAN, though. She still sent those reports. She hasn't actually been discredited, just… incapacitated."

"Who could get replaced?" Ron asked, voicing all their thoughts.

"I'm not sure I want to know."

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((end chapter five))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

yay, chapter five. So there it is. And that's it. I hope you've noticed that I'm being a lot nicer now.

Idee: you're faking.

Am not! Although, the ceasing of retarded reviews is good. I'm not saying who, so just assume the best, don't worry about it, and get on with your lives. There were only, like, three anyway.

Matik: that was rude.

I said I was being nice, not polite. Oi, this was a mistake. Just leave now. It would be nice if you'd review before you did though. I have great confidence that it won't be retarded because my story is no longer written with half a brain cell. It is now written with a whole brain cell!

Idee: -rolls eyes- wow, you're just on the up and up.

Matik: see? The so called "retarded reviews" are your fault.

You two can shut up now. Excuse me everyone, but I have to go kill some muses now since they are making me angry AND not helping. Seriously. I've had writer's block for 4 weeks now, and they haven't done a thing about it. Bye now.

Liebe sie von,

Doomschneider
