Chapter Seven: The boy who lived
(Monday)
Harry POV
DREAM
A young woman with pure white hair like snow and eyes that looked like an eclipse stood in the shadows of the room lit by the fireplace. The firer reflected off of the large mirror in her hands giving her a soulless look.
Voldemort sat in the large crimson chair in the middle of the room. "Kanna, I have a person I want you to find for me. She is the one who bears half a soul, which is who you will find." He hissed. "Yes master." Kanna bowed and turned towards the door. Her robe white as her hair rippled like water wail she gracefully walked out the door.
END OF DREAM
Harry woke up at the sound of Ron yelling "WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE! WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" About five minutes later Ron and his self was running out of the dorm for there quick breakfast.
Kagome's POV
Kagome woke up by the sunlight shinning thorough the window sill. A snort from her right made her snicker. She had asked Shippo to sleep with her like when he was a baby. He had blushed and laughed, but he finally agreed. Now it was morning and her son lay sleeping soundlessly beside her except a snort or two.
He was in his demon form. It seemed he had changed a lot. His whole body was not a fur ball. He was kind of like a fox version of Inuyasha. He had two large fluffy fox like ears that twitch when anything moved. Sweet little emerald eyes had become deeper green. His hair was rusty red tided back by a ribbon. A ruby like jewel was imbedded in his forehead. His hands and feet were like little fox paws with sharp claws. The last thing demonic feature was the fluffy tail that was the same color of his hair. When it flicked it reminded her of flaring fire.
Kagome rolled over towards Shippo. "Shippo, it is time to get up." Kagome said softly shaking his shoulder slightly. Shippo blinked yawning. "Hi mom, what time is it?" Kagome laughed. "We have forty minutes till breakfast." Shippo sat up and smiled goofy. "This defiantly brings back old memories. I never thought I would be sleeping with you again and I think I'm a little too old I will be five hundred and nine on February tenth." He laughed. Kagome stood up and playfully hit him on the head. "I'm going to get ready." She smiled at him motherly like and walked off to go get dressed and ready.
Harry POV
Harry sat eating at the Gryffindor table wondering if he should tell Dumbledore about his dreams. They were beginning to get more complex. The main thing that was the new professor was in one. He glanced at the teachers table. He noticed that both of the new Professors were not there, but neither was Dumbledore.
"That is weird." He mumbled. A voice from behind him started him. "Mr. Potter." He turned to faced Snape. "Hello Mr. Potter, I have come here to let you know that Professor Dumbledore wishes for you too continue are lessons. You will meet me every Tuesday and Thursday night at 7:00. Do not be late." Snape turned around and walked towards the teachers table. "But….." Harry sighed. "This sucks." He mumbled.
Kagome POV
Shippo walked down the hall with Kagome. They were late because Kagome took a wrong turn. "Kagome again how did you get lost in the castle you build?" he snickered. Kagome glared at him. "I told you already that the castle changes by itself over time and I think that anyone will agree when I say that Five hundred years is a lot." Kagome kicked the stone floor. They walked into a hall. "Finally I know where I am!" Kagome chanted. She grabbed his hand and ran down the hall.
She pulled him around a corner only run into someone. "I'm so sorry. We there running late and we were in a hurry." Kagome bowed slightly over and over not seeing who it was. "It's quit alright dear. I was looking for you both." Dumbledore said while getting up. 'Oh it's only him.' Kagome quickly stopped bowing. "Can you follow me to my office so we may speak?" Dumbledore asked. "Sure." "Yes Sir." They both answered. 'This is weird, why did I not since him.' Kagome pondered as she followed him. They arrived in his office after at least fifty turned and twists and a couple of passwords.
"I have called you both hear about Ms. Kagome's request for starting a club. I would like it if Mr. Shippo would be present at the club meetings and that I will be informed the day before your meeting of your plans for that meeting. Are you able to do this Mr. Shippo?" Dumbledore asked. "Yes sir. I would love to help. Will this be okay with you Mo… Kagome?" Shippo laughed nervously. Kagome shot Shippo a warning glare.
"Yes Professors, this is find. If it is all right I would like the first meeting next Monday." Kagome asked still looking at Dumbledore with curiosity. 'How did he do that appearing act in the hall? Dragons this is my school!' She silently sighed. Shippo smiled. "I have no problem with next Monday." Shippo stated. Dumbledore looked at Kagome and then Shippo and back to Kagome with a twinkle in his old eyes.
"Monday will be alright. Please inform me where it will take place and time when you know. You may go." Dumbledore said. Kagome and Shippo was about to exit the room when, "Shippo could I talk to you for a minute alone please." Dumbledore asked. "Sure sir, Kagome I will catch up later about the club. Ok?" Shippo asked. Kagome nodded and walked out the door.
Shippo POV
Shippo sat back down. "Being the leader of the order of the phoenix, I must ask you if you know anything about are new teacher? I do not know much about her. She aperated in this room, when she was trying out for the job. I tried to look her up and her name is quit hard to get too. Even for me. It seems her wizardry file is in one of the most secured volts at the ministry of magic. Her muggle file is on the other hand easy to get and clear. The only thing negative is that she missed a lot of school. It is quit strange." Dumbledore mumbled the last part.
"Sir, I do know Kagome. I met her when I was a small child. She and I are close. Kind of like family, But it has been a long time since I have seen her. I can say she can be trusted. She is probably one of the most pure people I know." Shippo told him. 'Dumbledore looked some what surprised which was pretty strange. "You know her Shippo? Can you tell me how?" Dumbledore asked.
Albus (Dumbledore) noticed the young man was in deep thought. For the first time since he had known Shippo he could tell he was hiding something. Feeling a little guilty he pushed his mind towards Shippo carefully trying to get some information. A flash of Kagome appeared in an old time looking village holding a small demon child while smiling brightly at the boy. "Shippo you want some chocolate?" The memory ended with Shippo pushing him quickly out with a firm wall around his mind.
"Shippo, can you please tell me what I just saw?" Dumbledore asked feeling guilty about looking into his mind, but he felt a little betrayed as the vision camp flashing in his eyes. "Dumbledore I…I'm sorry I did not tell you, but it thought if you knew you would not let me join. I'm a fox demon." Shippo said quietly. Dumbledore looked curious. "Shippo would you like a lemon drop we might be heard for a while." Dumbledore asked popping a drop in his mouth.
"No thank you sir. The reason why I did not tell you is because I knew that wizards say demons are evil beings that they kill for fun but we are not all like that. Sir please believe me." Shippo said quickly. "Shippo you should know that I don't judge on race. Remus is a werewolf and he is one of the best wizards I know. Shippo I trust you, but could you please tell me about that memory a saw." Dumbledore asked.
Shippo frowned. "Dumbledore, I can tell you some, but I cannot tell you much about Kagome. It is her choice. I can say that she is not a threat to the school or the order." Shippo said. "Shippo just tell me what you can." He answered. Dumbledore noted that Shippo's expression changed into an expression when one's self was looking into a faraway memory.
"I meet Kagome soon after two demons killed my parents. I went to steal an item from having nothing now. Kagome and her friend caught me. Kagome was kind and helped me. She helped destroy the two demons with her friends help, so that I got my parents furs back. My parents were now able a rest. Kagome took me in and raised me like her own child." Shippo laughed.
"I caused her so much trouble. I still remember when Souten challenged me to a duel. I got everyone in trouble. Souten was a little girl back then. She was the sister of my parent's killers. She and I fought. We wore matched in skill. I figured out she was a girl at the end. We were able to forgive each other and become friends." Shippo smiled.
"Shippo, where was this place in your memory? It looked like a old Japan village." Dumbledore asked. Shippo sighed. 'How to you answer that?' "I was young I do not know." Shippo sighed again. Dumbledore coughed and stood up. "Well, young man that all I need to heard. Shippo, thank you for your time. I am sure you are hungry now." Dumbledore said. He smiled as Shippo bow and left the room.
His smiled faded as a thought from Shippo's head entered his. 'I wish he would stop calling me young man. I will be five-hundred and nine on February 10.' Dumbledore's thoughts scattered. "Who are you really Ms. Higurashi?"
Kagome POV
Kagome stood in the hall listening to the conversation between Shippo and Albus. She felt a little bad about listening, but they were talking about her. Kagome's heart felt some what crushed. Shippo really did look up at Dumbledore like a family member. Those thoughts made her cry silently. "Only if I could have been there for you Shippo." She mumbled under her breath.
She felt new respect for the old man and jealousy. Shippo walked out to the hall. He waved smiling at her. Once he approached her closely he said "Since breakfast is over I will go to the kitchen and get something for the both of us. I don't have class till 2nd period. I will bring you some food to your classroom. Sound good?" Kagome nodded her head. Shippo smiled again and began walking down the hall towards the kitchens. She sighed 'Class time.'
Kagome was already tired all teaching and it was only 3rd period. Shippo had brought breakfast, but now she was hungry again. The students filled the room promising that she would have to tell the same story again for the third time. Don't get her wrong, she loved teaching kids. It was just so much stuff had happened in the last 24 hours. That even Naraku or 'Lord' Voldemort would be dancing in confusion. Her face brightens as Sango and Miroku entered the room with three other kids. The girl had brown bushy hair and blue eyes laughed at something Sango said. Miroku chatted to the guys about Merlin know what. By the way the red haired boys cheeks keep turning red to green she guesses it was something she would rather not hear. Only the other boy caught her direct attention. He had messy black air and green eyes, but that was not what bothered her. The scar on his forehead was giving off the same energy that Naraku had. She squinted her eyes, trying to look closer. A light green glow covered it, if she was not a priestess she would have never known. The green light was in the shape of a spider. She heard Sango call him Harry. 'Is he Harry Potter? Is he the one who defeated Naraku?' She checked her roll. The name was on the list. She was now positive, that he was the boy who lived.
