I don't own yyh characters, or hp characters so don't hold it against me.
Also I forgot to tell you guys in the first chapter that I'm not a very big Harry Potter fan, so if I get anything wrong regarding the hp story line I'm sorry.
A New Experience
Chapter 2
Diagon Alley, and The Hogwarts Train
"This is it."
"Botan this is just a shabby looking pub." Said Yusuke. They had just gotten off the airplane and were now standing if front of a small building called the Leaky Caldron.
"It seems like everyone else doesn't even know there is even a pub here. Are we the only ones that see it?"
Yusuke looked up. Kurama was right. The shoppers that were out on the street just ran by from one store to the next not even stopping to glance at the small pub.
"I guess its some kind of wizard magic." Botan was exited; she was finally getting a well-deserved vacation from her job in Reikai. "Koenma-sama told me we have to walk through the Leaky Caldron in order to reach the entrance of Diagon Alley." Botan said as she headed for the door with the others behind her.
For being the entrance to an important place it sure was dark and dreary, Yusuke thought as Botan steered them all inside. There weren't many people inside except for a few that were sitting in small tables silently drinking beers. They all walked past the people to the back of the pub where they stepped outside into a small courtyard closed off on all sides with brick walls.
"Alright, I'm supposed to take my wand and tap the right brick." Botan took out her wand and continued to talk to herself. "Three up, two across." After she tapped the wall three times the bricks began to quiver and form a large opening. Through the opening was a large street with stores on either side and a huge white building on the very end. "Wow!" Whispered Botan.
"This is Diagon Alley?" Kuwabara looked on with an awed expression. It was so big, and the streets were more crowded then the ones in Tokyo during Christmas time.
"Obviously." Hiei was aggravated; he hated walking into a crowd of ningens, especially one as big as this.
"Hey you want to say that to my face shorty?"
"I just did."
"Why you—"
"Let's go we have to get this done by tonight so we can be ready for the train tomorrow." Interrupted Yusuke before a fight could break out between the two.
"Well Botan where do we go first?" Asked a bored Kurama. He was tired and wanted to go to bed, maybe even get to sleep with Hiei tonight. The fox grinned and looked over at his lover. He was wearing his usual black outfit with his white scarf. The particular outfit was perfect for concealing the fire demons katana, and that's why Kurama supposed Hiei always liked to wear it.
"Gringots, it's the wizarding worlds bank." Botan answered.
"Perhaps we should split up then. Someone could go with Botan to the bank and the rest can go get their robes fitted."
"Good idea Kurama. You go with Botan, while Kuwabara. Hiei, and I will start getting our robes fitted."
Kurama was about to object but Botan was already pulling him towards the bank. He didn't want to leave his fire demon.
"There is no way I'm wearing one of those." Hiei said in Japanese so know one else could listen in.
Hiei and Yusuke were standing in Madam Malcolm's Robes for all Occasions watching Kuwabara get fitted. Yusuke cringed he didn't really want to wear one either. "Well tough, Koenma told us not to blow our cover and in order not to we have to wear these. Even if they are queer." Yusuke said also in Japanese.
"All done who's next." Madam Malcolm said rising to a standing position and looking over at the two Reikai Tentai. She watched as the teen with the slicked back black hair walked forward. "There, just stand on this platform and we can get your robes ready."
"That was almost as bad as your flying Botan." After the little 'car ride' Kurama walked out of the bank slightly green and visibly shaken.
"Well excuse me. If you don't like my flying then you can get your own ride to Koenma-sama's office." Botan, who was unaffected by the car ride, started towards the robe shop. Kurama sighed and followed her.
"There you go boys. Now the robes come out to about 36 Galeons and 5 knuts."
"Uh………" Yusuke didn't know what to do. They wouldn't be able to pay until Kurama and Botan got back with their money.
"Just ad there bill to ours. I will pay after my friend and I are fitted." Right on cue Kurama and Botan had walked into the room with 5 bags filled with money in their hands. Kurama then turned from the counter and while Botan was being fitted he handed each of them a bag "This is all we got so go easy." Kurama whispered to them.
A few more hours later and the Reikai Tentai were all standing outside of the pet shop. After getting their robes fitted, they had bought all their other supplies except a pet.
"Wow." Exclaimed Botan as they walked into the shop. There were many different kinds of pets in the shop ranging from mice to owls, cats and birds.
"What are you guys going to get?" Asked a slightly curious Kurama.
"I already have my cat." Exclaimed a proud Kuwabara.
"Hn. Baka." Hiei who was standing in the background with his arms folded over his chest. He could care less about a pet.
"Stop!" Shouted a very annoyed Yusuke. He was sick of the fighting and just wanted to go to bed for the night. "If none of you guys are getting anything then why are we here?"
"Speak for yourself Yusuke, I'm going to get this." Botan held up a white and grey-specked owl. Turning to the front desk she paid for the bird and walked outside with the others.
"Finally, we can rest." Yusuke said heading toward the inn where they could rent a couple of rooms for the night.
"So where's this so called 9 ¾ platform?" Yusuke was confused, when he looked to the left he saw station 10 but when he looked to the right he saw station 9. There was nothing in between except for a large stonewall.
"Koenma didn't say anything about this." Botan said as she looked down at the list of instructions given to her by the small lord. "He also didn't right anything down about how to get to it."
"Hn. It's a magical barrier probably put in by the wizards." Hiei stepped forward past Yusuke and Botan to take a better look at the wall.
"How do you know?" Yusuke stared increduosly at the fire demon, who simply scowled and pointed at his Jagan in a way that told him Hiei thought he was stupid for asking that question.
"So then mister know it all, how do we get through it?" Spoke Kuwabara from behind Botan.
"Well baka, the details are probably above your intelligence level."
"Come say that to my face."
Hiei walked up to Kuwabara stared him straight in the eye and repeated the comment.
"You little—"
"Stop! Now Hiei how do we get through the wall?" Kurama looked over at his lover in an attempt to stop the fight.
"Probably just walk through it, though it's not for sure that it isn't solid."
"Well there's only one way to find out. Hiei will you do me the honors?" Yusuke turned with an evil grin towards Kuwabara as Hiei smirked and they both started to walk towards the unknowing human.
"What, what are you doing!" Kuwabara started to scream as both Yusuke and Hiei picked him up and tossed him towards the wall between the platforms. Surprisingly enough and to Kuwabara's relief the wall was not solid, and aloud Kuwabara to pass through it easily.
Yusuke, Kurama, Botan, and Hiei all picked up their trunks and walked through the portal.
"All the compartments are full, looks like we'll have to split up." Kurama was walking with the others down the hall of the train looking through the windows of the compartments. They had all just put their luggage away and all of them also inserted the gold earrings Koenma gave them. By doing this they could now talk English and Japanese. "Hiei and I will look for one and you guys can go find a different one."
"Alright, see you guys later." Yusuke walked down towards the front of the train with a perky Botan and an annoyed Kuwabara who was still grumbling about a certain fire demon.
"Well Hiei let's go find a compartment." Kurama and Hiei walked down the hall of the train in the opposite direction from Yusuke and the others.
"Baka fox, you did this splitting up thing on purpose." Hiei smirked he knew what the fox wanted but Hiei wasn't about to do it in front of humans on a packed train.
"Sadly there really aren't any empty compartments." Sighed Kurama, it looked like he wasn't going to get any until they reached the castle. "How about this one?" They were standing outside of the last compartment looking through the window at the one person who was in it.
"Hn."
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Hey, there isn't any other compartments open so can we stay in this one?" Yusuke asked while sliding open the compartment door. Looking in he saw a black haired boy, and a red haired girl with freckles.
"S-Sure." The black haired boy stuttered.
"Great, I was getting sick of walking around in this dumb train." Yusuke said as he sat across from the red haired girl.
"Sorry for the intrusion and my rude friend here." Botan looked kindly at the two. "I'm Botan, that's Yusuke and that there is Kuwabara." Botan pointed at the teen, who took a seat next to Yusuke and across from the black haired boy. Botan taking a seat next to Kuwbara she said, "We are all foreign exchange students from Japan."
"Hello this is Neville, and I'm Ginny." The red haired girl said looking at them with confusion. "I've never heard of foreign exchange students coming to Hogwarts."
"It's new, this is actually the first year."
"Oh, are you going to be sorted with the first years?"
"Sorted?" Yusuke said with a new found interest sitting up from his seat at the window.
"Excuse me, all the other compartments are full, may my friend and I join you?" Kurama said standing in the door of the room and bowing at the boy who sat in front of him. The boy had wild black hair with round glasses hiding his green eyes; he also had a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.
"Er, I guess. Are you knew? I haven't seen you before?" Answered the boy.
Kurama took a seat across from the boy motioning for Hiei to sit next to him. "This is Hiei, and I'm Shuuichi Minamino but my friends call me Kurama. We are foreign exchange students from Japan, we are entering the 6th year I believe."
"I see. I'm Harry Potter." Harry waited for the staring, but to his surprise Kurama just nodded and turned to talk to the other in some form of Japanese that he couldn't understand.
"That's the boy we are supposed to protect." Kurama said turning to Hiei and making sure to speak in Japanese so Harry couldn't understand what they were saying.
"Hn. He doesn't look so tough." Hiei answered also in Japanese.
Kurama tried to hide a smile behind his hand. Hiei looked so cute with that look of superiority on his face.
"So how come you—" Harry was interrupted mid sentence when a blonde haired teenage boy opened the door fiercely. Standing behind the boy was his lackeys Crabbe and Goyle.
"Potter." Malfoy hissed angrily. Last year Harry, with the help of his friends and members from the order, had put Malfoy's father in Azkaban, the wizard prison. "Who's your knew girlfriend." Malfoy said with interest as he turned to a now blushing Kurama, mistaking him for a girl. "Are these boys bothering you? You can come back with us to our compartment." Malfoy said as he started reaching a hand toward what he thought was a beautiful girl. Suddenly without warning the boy sitting next to the girl jumped up and grabbed Malfoy by the neck. Malfoy gasped the boy had fierce and scary red eyes with black spiky hair that seemed to defy gravity.
"If you so much as look at him again, I won't hesitate to give a long painful death." Threatened a very pissed off fire demon. Hiei then lifted Malfoy off of his feet and threw him down the hall of the train watching him land in front of the door to the engine room. Crabbe and Goyle both ran off to help him and Hiei slammed the door behind them.
"Wow that was cool." Harry said in disbelief as Hiei took his seat in between the window and a very disapproving Kurama. "You weren't serious about the killing thing were you?"
"Of course he wasn't." Kurama lied cutting in before Hiei could answer, which he probably wouldn't have anyway.
"Hello Harry." Said a girl who had just entered the compartment. She had big bushy brown hair and was being followed by a taller boy who reminded Kurama of Kuwabara. He had orange-reddish hair and lots of freckles.
"What happened? We just saw Malfoy on the floor, he looked really scared." The boy said as he took a seat next to the girl who was now sitting next to Harry.
"It was Hiei. He threw Malfoy straight out of the compartment, it was awesome." Harry said with a proud look towards Hiei. After seeing the rest of the people in the compartment looking slightly confused, except Hiei who had just continued looking out the window like nothing had happened, he hastily made introductions. "Kurama, Hiei they are my two best friends Ron, and Hermione." Harry said pointing first at the boy then at the bushy haired girl. "Ron, Hermione they are new foreign exchange students from Japan, Hiei and Kurama."
"Really!" Said a very interested Hermione. "What's it like there? You don't look Japanese. Is there really a wizarding school there? What's the school like? How come you're coming here? What year are you going to be in? And—"
"Hermione, will you shut up?" Ron said.
"Its okay." Said Kurama. "We are going to be in the 6th year, and we are exchange students so we can get a feel for different cultures."
"We are in the 6xth year also." Harry said looking slightly exited. He had taking a liking to the red haired boy and even Hiei seemed cool even though he almost never talked. "I hope you guys are in Gryffindor."
"Gryffindor?" The word didn't translate very well to Kurama.
"No one told you about the houses?" Seeing Kurama's confused look Harry, Ron, and Hermione went on explaining all about Hogwarts and the houses.
"This school sounds pretty biased." Yusuke said after listening to Ginny explain Hogwarts for about an hour.
"You get used to it after awhile." Neville said. "We're almost there we should probably change into are school robes." They all moved around in the small compartment trying to change before they reached Hogwarts.
TBC-
Next chapter- the sorting, what will happen when the human-made hat looks into Hiei's Jagan?
Authors notes- I don't know if any of you have noticed but it seems like everyone wants Hiei to have a cat, then after Hiei buys the cat it is almost never mentioned again. So I'm sorry I didn't give Hiei a pet I just didn't want to bother about having to write about a cat during the fic.
I'm not so sure about the rating; I might need to raise it due to the conversations between Hiei and Kurama when they are alone.
Anyway I think this story is coming along well. I have many ideas for the chapters to come and I hope you all enjoyed it. If you have some of your own ideas, complaints, what you like-dislike, or have any questions about this fic don't be afraid to review.
