Hey, Hey! Chapter Seven! I hope everyone enjoys this, and please please please read and review… The more Reviews and ideas I get the sooner I can update and the longer the chapters will be. Flames are welcome, if fact I need some flames to make smores. So come on guys I need some input.
The poll questions are:
1. Who should Draco/Ryuu be paired with?
Luna Lovegood
Pansy Parkinson
Lavender Brown
Other (Who?)
So far the toll stands as follows
Luna- 2
Lavender- 1
Other- 1
2. What should they learn at the summer academy?
Just give me some ideas on this one; I'm open to pretty much everything.
So on with the Chapter.
Chapter 7
Knock, knock, knock. Ryuu knocked on Severus Snape's office door. Arashi was just in front of him to his left, Toushi directly to his right, and Honoo was directly behind him.
Severus Snape opened the door and stepped aside for them to come in. "I've been meaning to have a talk with all of you. I should tell all of you that the headmaster is very curious as to how three of you managed to get into Slytherin. He had plans you see, for Potter to be his golden boy…"
"No chance of that." Arashi informed him calmly.
"Uncle Severus, is he planning on sending Arashi back to his relatives?" Ryuu glanced up at Severus.
"I really shouldn't tell you but yes… he thinks it's too dangerous for him to be out on his own… He says that Potter needs a guardian." Severus sighed.
"He can't go back there, they'll end up killing him." Honoo gasped.
"They almost did the last time I was their… but if he thinks I need a guardian then I'm going to have to find one to play along, I don't need someone to coddle me and to tell me what to do, but I must admit guidance every once in awhile wouldn't go amiss." Arashi tapped his chin thinking.
"Who would Dumbledore least expect to be Arashi's guardian?" Ryuu glanced around.
"No clue…" Honoo and Toushi both said at the same time.
Toushi smirked, "Jinx."
"What?" Honoo was completely confused.
"Oh never mind." Toushi shakes her head.
"But what about Arashi's guardian…" Ryuu sighed.
"Albus would least suspect me, I've known the man for years and I do follow his banner but he is a meddling old fool. I could help to keep you informed and act as Arachi was it? I could act as his guardian" Severus glanced at Arashi.
"It's Arashi… it means storm. But I never thought about getting someone to give us information on Dumbledore…I thinks a good idea…" Arashi smiled a little.
"I think we should tell him about our little activities this summer" Ryuu looked over to all their new school supplies.
Toushi nodded. "Me too."
Honoo looked a little apprehensive but agreed.
"Alright… During the summers the four of us will be going to a camp, it teaches us things that Hogwarts won't or can't." Arashi told Severus.
Severus smiled, "I know, Draco's mother told me. Are you all excited? And don't worry your secrets safe with me."
"Excited? You bet, I can't wait it'll be fun but we have to find away for Arashi to sneak away from Dumbledore's grip so he can go." Toushi squealed excitedly.
Ryuu looked at her like she'd lost her mind.
Honoo was staring wide-eyed at Toushi.
Arashi grinned, "Hey I'm excited, it'll be fun, plus how many people can say that they can turn into animals? Not very many, but I'm hopping I get to be one that can say that."
"Well If Arashi is going to become my ward, I'll let him go and tell Albus I sent him to a camp for the summer and that I check up on him frequently, He need not know where it is." Severus sat down behind his desk. "Time is running short I have a class in a few minutes so grab your things and be on your way."
Ryuu smiled a little and walked over to a stack of four trunks, one emerald Green, one a dark blood red, another was a light Violet, and the last was a soft silver color. Ryuu looked on the nameplates; the green one said Ryuu Janen. "This one's mine." He pulled that one out of the way by him. HE looked at the name on the Violet one, "Toushi Janen."
Toushi grabbed hers and pulled it over to her spot.
Ryuu looked at the red one, "Honoo Janen."
Honoo heaved his trunk over to where he was standing.
Ryuu glanced at the last one, "and obviously it's Arashi Janen."
Arashi smirked and pulled his trunk and started heading to the Slytherin dorms. Honoo sighed, and followed after his friend with his trunk. Toushi nodded to Severus and went with them. Ryuu pulled his trunk along behind.
"I can't believe we have more trunks, there must be a lot of stuff to do for the summer academy…" Honoo ran his fingers through his kind of shaggy hair, a nervous habit he had picked up somewhere.
"I wouldn't doubt it, think of all the stuff we will learn." Toushi's eyes seemed brighter in her excitement.
"School is school, my guess is that we'll be so far ahead in our classes by next year we will be utterly bored." Ryuu stated his philosophy.
"I don't think so, the academy teaches advanced magic, things that Hogwarts can't teach us. It will make us stronger in the long run." Arashi added in his two cents.
"Hey Ronnikins! Wait up!" The four friends turned around to see Honoo's older twin brothers, Fred and George, running towards them.
"Fred, George…" Honoo looked a little apprehensive about seeing his brothers since becoming a Slytherin.
"How are you doing," Fred looked down to his little brother.
"We mean you are in the snake pit," George added in.
"I'm doing just fine, it's not so bad. Besides I have friends in Slytherin, it is different then being around Gryffindors all the time. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just different, and Ryuu has been kind enough to keep the older students off our back," Honoo shrugged a little.
"Ryuu?" George looked confused.
"Who's Ryuu?" Fred looked just as confused.
"Ryuu is Draco… you know, Draco Malfoy…" Honoo smirked.
Ryuu, Toushi, and Arashi were trying not to laugh.
"You are friends with a Malfoy!" Both twins gasped.
"Yes, he is nothing like his father if that's what your thinking." Honoo informed them.
"Well we have to get to Potions, we just wanted to see how you were doing," Fred looked to George.
"We also want you to know that we don't mind that your in Slytherin, and be expecting a letter from mum at around dinner time." Fred finished. Both twins ran off to get to class on time.
"They're a little bit weird…" Toushi was the first to speak.
"I'd say I agree with Toushi." Ryuu watched to twins run off.
"They like to joke around but they are fun… except when you're the on being pranked." Honoo looked to his friends.
"I'm surprised they didn't say anything about our new trunks." Arashi spoke up.
"Probably didn't even notice them, they have a habit of not paying attention to their surroundings." Honoo informed his friends.
"Come on we have Charms." Toushi checked her watch.
Arashi, Honoo, Ryuu, and Toushi pulled their trunks to the Slytherin dorms as quickly as they could. They then ran to their charms class, they managed to be five minutes late.
"Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter, Miss. Granger, and Mr. Weasley would you mind taking your seat so we can start the lesson? Oh yes and ten points from Slytherin." Professor Flitwick reprimanded them mildly for being late. ((AN: If that's a reprimand, they have it really easy. If I was late we had to have a pass back into class or you got sent to the office.))
Charms went by really easy, just making feathers float or fly. Soon it was time for dinner and true to Fred and George's words, a letter showed up for Honoo from his parents.
Ronald Weasley
What were you thinking! Becoming a Slytherin! Your father almost had a heart attack when he heard of it. Every Weasley has been in Gryffindor and now you have to break tradition and go to Slytherin! We are very ashamed of you.
Your Mother and Father
Honoo looked rather pale after reading the rather short note. "Well at least it wasn't a howler…"
