I don't own yyh or hp story line, and most of Dumbledore's speech (which came from book 1) so don't sue me b/c that would just be uncool.
Well finally here it is, sorry I took so long to update but as you know I've been having a lot of plot problems with this storyline and I have just realized how hard it is going to be to write this fanfic. No matter what though, I will finish.
"Yeah right"
"Shut up Hiei, no one asked you!"
"Hn, Baka."
A New Experience
Chapter 3
The Sorting
"What's taking so long? We've been in here for 6 hours and these robes are itchy." Yusuke stood complaining next to the door. Before leaving the train they had all changed into their robes. After they crossed the lake with the giant named Hagrid Professor McGonagall had led them to this room to make them wait for the first years to get sorted. After they were done the Reikai Tentai were to all walk into the great hall in order to get sorted themselves.
"Actually Yusuke, it's only been 10 minutes." Kurama was standing next to his 3-eyed demon at the far end of the square room watching Yusuke, who was leaning with his ear against the large door. Kuwabara was standing on the opposite side of the room as Hiei and Kurama. Botan could be seen standing a little way from Kuwabara staring up at the ceiling with a look of complete happiness.
"What letter are they on?" Yusuke asked failing to hear past the thick door.
"M," Kurama replied.
"Honestly Yusuke, don't you have any patients?" Botan said with a scolding tone.
Yusuke turned around glaring at Botan and about to say something when Kurama spoke up trying to change the subject and lighten the mood.
"Did you guys see the boy we are to protect, Harry Potter?"
"No, there were too many people around after we got off the train." Kuwabara, who they had been expecting to speak long before now, said.
"We shared a compartment with him."
"What was he like? Spoiled?" Yusuke asked with a slight look of interest.
"No, actually he seemed quite normal."
"Hn, if you can call stupidity normal. He didn't even move a muscle when that ningen made fun of him," Hiei stated rather unemotionally.
They all fell once again into an uneasy silence. With nothing more to say about the boy the short conversation was indeed over. Kurama glimpsed down at his lover and whispered so none of the others could hear him.
"Hiei, I'm feeling a little frisky tonight," the sly fox grinned.
"Don't get cocky, we might not even be in the same house let alone room," Hiei scowled back. Looking up at his fox he saw something that made him feel a little uneasy. Kurama's eyes had just turned from their original dazzling green to a shade of gold and then back to green.
"We shall see." Kurama growled more to himself than Hiei.
They were all suddenly interrupted from their small conversation when the doors to the great hall opened before them.
"Finally." Whined Yusuke as he walked out into the huge room.
"Can't you ever show some respect Yusuke?" Botan said walking behind him and Kuwabara who were both already halfway down the long aisle between the four long tables. She looked up in awe at the ceiling and the room around her. She had never seen anything like it before, there was two tables filled with wizards of every age on her left and two other tables also filled with young adults on the right. Straight in front of her there was a long table stretched out with what she suspected were the teachers of Hogwarts. She let out a sigh of happiness as she turned her head up to the magical ceiling, which showed a bright starry sky very much like the real one they had seen outside.
Kurama grimaced as he walked down the aisle next to Hiei who was walking silently behind Botan with a frown on his face. Hiei was obviously uncomfortable with all the ningens that were sitting in the room. Kurama would have felt bad for him if he didn't have a problem of his own. While he was walking towards the teacher's table he could hear the students, mostly girls, whispering and pointing at him.
All five of them lined up before the many students sitting at their house tables. A stool was sitting a little away from them on their right with a ripped and dirty hat placed on top of it. The woman standing in front of them spoke loudly over the silence of the great hall.
"When I call you name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted," she said while pulling out a short piece of parchment from her robes.
"Chikai, Hiei."(1)
Kuwabara, Yusuke, Botan, and even Kurama tried to suppress their laughter from escaping their lips. However, Kuwabara and Yusuke failed in the attempt and started to laugh uncontrollably. Everyone in the hall started to stare at the two strangers in wonder and confusion. It was clear that they all thought them mad.
Hiei turned and glared at everything in sight including his two teammates. "I'm going to kill Koenma." Hiei growled in Japanese. He absolutely hated it when people called him short, and now his so-called last name would most likely be repeated a lot during the year. He walked silently over to the stool and when the hat was slipped on his head a strange voice filled his ears.
'Hm…interesting one aren't you? A demon at Hogwarts is unheard of.'
'Hurry up you piece of garbage.'
'My my where are your manners? No matter, demon or not you are to be sorted. Now where should I put you?'
Hiei growled angrily, his red eyes flashing dangerously.
'You have qualities from both Slytherin and Gryffindor. You are cunning and brave. You have been through so much in the past and I have never seen this much pain in any living creature's mind before. What you have gone through has made you brave and daring. I will defiantly put you in…
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Hiei got up from the stool almost ripping the hat off his head. He had been very close to losing his patients and almost burned the idiot hat. He walked over irritably to the table that was cheering the loudest and sat down in between Harry and a sandy haired boy he hadn't met yet.
"What were your friends laughing about before?" Harry whispered to him.
"They were just being a bunch of idiots." Hiei stated uninterestedly.
"But—" Harry was cut off mid sentence as Professor McGonagall read another name from her list of students.
"Kuwabara, Kazuma."
Kuwabara stumbled slightly as he made his way to the stool. He sat down a little nervously and Professor McGonagall dropped the hat on his head. The hat remained silent for a moment and then shouted into the hall, its voice echoing in the large room.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Kuwabara removed the hat and walked slowly to the table on the right of the Great Hall.
"Minamino, Shuuichi"
Kurama smiled and walked over the stool. Just before the hat was placed on his head he could see everyone, mostly the girls, staring at him with amazement. He was pulled quickly from his thoughts when a voice sounded in his ear.
'Another demon I see. I wonder, what is Dumbledore planning?'
Kurama waited silently for the hat to continue.
'You have qualities from all four houses. Especially Slytherin, you would do very well if I put you in that house.'
That's when Kurama started to get angry at the idiotic thing. 'Put me in the same house as Hiei or one of my plants will gladly rip you to shreds.'
'But Slytherin would suite you much better than Gryffindor.'
Kurama growled threateningly at the hat and started to send it pictures of his most nasty plants through his mind. The hat cringed and yelled for the entire hall to hear…
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Kurama smiled and walked over to where Hiei was sitting. He slid into the empty spot next his fire demon and the sandy haired boy.
"I think you scared it." Hiei said in Japanese.
"I told you we would be together." Kurama whispered slyly to his lover also in Japanese so know one could listen in.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ron asked them rather rudely. Hermione glared at Ron disapprovingly from next to Harry.
"Mind your own business Ron," said Hermione.
"It's alright." Kurama reassured her, trying to calm her down. He smiled at her and her cheeks turned to a scarlet hue and she sat back down in her seat. "We were just admiring the castle." Kurama lied easily looking up just in time to hear Botan's name being called.
"Ukiuki, Botan." (2)
She smiled at her last name and couldn't help but think that it fit her perfectly. She walked over to the stool and the hat slid easily onto her head. Almost a minute later the hat shouted one word to the crowd of people…
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
She smiled excitedly as she practically ran to where Kuwabara was sitting with the rest of the Hufflepuffs.
"Urameshi, Yusuke."
Yusuke walked up to the stool irritably and sat down with his arms crossed. The hat had barely touched his head when it shouted…
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Yusuke walked over to the table and slid in to the seat in front of Hiei just as McGonagall was rolling up her parchment and walking back to the teacher's table. The room quieted down once again as the headmaster of Hogwarts stood up from his seat and opened his arms wide in a greeting to them all.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts. Now without further a due let us begin the feast."
The goblets and plates on the tables filled with all kinds of food; there was even some foreign food from Japan for the Reikai Tentai to eat.
Everyone at the Gryffindor table stated to eat as if their stomachs were bottomless all except a suspicious fire demon.
"It's alright Hiei it's not poison, besides it's rather quite good for foreign food." Kurama said between his spoonfuls of Ramen.
"Yea this is better than Keiko's restaurant," Yusuke said.
"You'd better not let her hear you say that."
"Who's Keiko?" Harry asked.
"Yusuke's girlfriend," Kurama answered.
"She's not my girlfriend." Shouted Yusuke rather loudly.
"She's a girl and a friend, hence girlfriend." Hiei grunted as he continued to play with his food.
"Shut up smart-ass."
"There's an empty seat at the teachers table." Harry interrupted not wanting a fight to break out at the table.
Hermione, Ron, Yusuke, Kurama and even Hiei looked up to see what he was talking about. At first glimpse it looked like every one was there. Professor Sprout, Snape, McGonagall, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Flitwick, and a few other teachers they recognized from other class were also there. However, on closer look there was indeed an empty seat at the end of the table next to the astronomy teacher.
"Must be the defense teacher." Ron said through a mouthful of food.
"Wonder who it is," replied Harry.
"Maybe Lupin's coming back," said Ron excitedly picking through the many dishes of dessert that had just appeared on the table.
"I don't think so Ron," Hermione stated knowingly to the crowd of listeners. "Now that everyone knows he's a werewolf people will be scared of him."
"Better a werewolf than another ministry official like last year," Dean Thomas said from the seat next to Yusuke.
"A werewolf?" Yusuke asked wonderingly. He thought that Koenma banned the werewolves from entering the human world ever since they started killing the humans a long time ago.
"Our friend isn't really a full werewolf. He takes a potion that keeps him tame and he has never hurt anyone before." Harry said reassuring Yusuke that there was no danger. However, Harry didn't realize that Yusuke had fought or even scene much worse than a werewolf.
The rest of the dinner went on silently for the Reikai Tentai who just listened quietly to what the others were saying around them about the school and upcoming quidditch practices. A half hour later Dumbledore once again stood up and silenced the hall.
"Just a few more words now that we are all fed and watered. I have a few stat-of-term notices to give you. First years and our new exchange students should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils. And a few of our older students would do well to remember that as well." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he glimpsed briefly at Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "I have also been asked by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, to remind you all that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors. You can see a list of the Hogwarts rules outside his office. Quidditch tryouts will be held in the second week of term. Anyone interested in playing for their houses should contact Madam Hooch or the team captains. And now, bedtime." Dumbledore sat back down and turned to McGonagall to chat, while the students and some teachers got up and started to head towards their rooms for the night.
"Come on anyone who doesn't know the way follow me." Hermione yelled to the crowd of Gryffindores. She led them up marble staircases, past the moving portraits, and finally stopped them in front of a large portrait of a fat lady.
"Password?" The lady in the portrait asked.
"Merlin's Beard," Hermione said loudly to the fat lady. Once he portrait opened they all clambered through and directing the students where to go Hermione pointed to the girls dormitory and then the boys
The three spirit detectives followed Harry, Ron, Dean, Neville, and Seamus up the boy's staircase into the room they would all be sharing as 6th years. When Harry walked in he noticed that it seemed different. The room had been magically enlarged in order to fit the new beds that were placed on the far side of the room near the window. He walked over to his bed and pulled the curtains around it so he could get changed into his pajamas in private. When he was done he opened the thick red hangings and saw Yusuke lying in the bed on the right of his, Kurama in the next bed down from Yusuke, and Hiei in the bed closets to the window. They seemed to be talking to each other quietly in Japanese leaving Harry to wonder what they were talking about.
"The security here is horrendous. My weakest followers could get through the spells on this castle easily." Hiei said disgustedly to Yusuke and Kurama as he inspected his 4-poster bed.
"I agree but there isn't much we can do about it." Kurama answered as he stuck little seeds in the cracks of his bed unnoticed by the five human boys who were already in bed.
Yusuke rolled over in his bed and stared out the window. He was tired from all the traveling and just wanted to go to sleep. "Let's talk about it in the morning." Yusuke yawned as he curled up in his comfortable bed a fell almost immediately into a deep sleep.
Hiei snorted as he watched his so called leader drift off into the dream world. He looked up at Kurama who was finished booby-trapping his bed and was now laying in it smiling up disappointedly to Hiei. Kurama new that Hiei felt uncomfortable showing affection in public especially a public that involved humans. Hiei smirked at the fox and disappeared into the night leaving no trace of him ever being there behind.
"Master, everyone is at Hogwarts and settled into their beds." The servant kneeled in front of the shadowed figure respectfully. He was wearing black robes, and had short dark brown hair with icy blue eyes. He waited patiently for his next order of business from the silent man in front of him.
"Is that all?"
"No master, there seems to be exchange students taking residence in Hogwarts this year. They have entered the same grade level as the boy."
"That is indeed strange. You will keep a close eye on them as well as Harry Potter." The person hissed quietly to the man kneeling in front of him.
"Yes my lord, I will report back to you if anything suspicious happens while I am there."
"Of course you are dismissed."
The man got up from his position on the floor and bowed to his newly revived lord sitting in front of him. He whispered and I will not fail you to the silent man before leaving the room for his destination.
The man in the chair smirked evilly bringing his abnormally long fingers to rest in his lap as he thought of this most recent news. He would have to tell Kisaragi some time tonight but he would do that later. Right now he was just going to sit and marvel at how by the end of the year Harry Potter would be dead and he would be on top of the human and demon worlds. Voldermort shrieked with laughter at the thought, the sound of it bringing fear to the eyes of his servants, who were still up working late.
TBC
a/n-
The end might seem a little choppy because I was half asleep and tired of writing when I finished it so please just try and look past that fact.
(1)- Chikai means short in Japanese. I know people usually use normal last name for Hiei like Jaganshi, but I just wanted to be different and make it original.
(2) Same thing goes for this name, Ukiuki means cheery in Japanese and I thought that since Botan was always cheery that this would be a perfect name.
I know someone told me that they didn't want Kurama in Gryffindor house and that it didn't fit his personality. I totally agree with that and I feel that he should be in Slythrin but I already have most of the story planned out and it would've been hard to write if he was in Sylthrin house.
QUESTION: If I was to put Hiei on the Quidditch team which position would you like him to play? I was torn between two, Beater or Goalie. Tell me what you think in a review.
Sorry it took so long to update but as you know I was having a lot of plot problems. I tried to make this a really long chapter for you guys because I won't be able to review for a few weeks due to final exams and projects due for school. If there are mistakes I am sorry just try to bear with it I didn't get it copy edited because I wanted to post it as soon as possible. I pretty much have everything figured out plot wise and thanks to all of the reviewers who helped me and gave me ideas. Just in case you were wondering this is not going to be an ff7 crossover also, I have dropped the idea and have come up with one on my own.
Wow that was a mouthfull! lol!
