Fox Magic

Ch 5

"Talk" 'Japanese talk' 'mind talk' thinking "Makai dialect."

OMG! I'm updating again? It's a miracle! I'm bored; my RP friends aren't on…so…I guess I'll just give you another chapter. Although I might not actually put this up for like a week. Oh well. (12-23-05)

"Are you the exchange students?" Hagrid asked. (Sorry no accent…)

"Yes, we are." Kurama said.

"Please come with me." Hagrid said.

"Well, see ya later. Hope ya get into Griffindor." Harry said. They waved good-bye and the two under cover demons followed Hagrid.

'Dang, Kurama, this guy is Huge!' Lita said.

'He isn't full human, that's why. Part giant, I'd guess.' Kurama explained.

'Smells like it.' Lita said with a laugh. Kurama chuckled. Hagrid glanced at them but didn't ask.

"You'll wait here until the first years are sorted." Hagrid said. The two nodded and he left through a door.

'So Kurama, what is our mission again?' Lita asked.

'Lita. Really. If you're going to insist on coming on a mission then at least try and remember. We have to protect Harry.' Kurama said, shaking his head.

'Oh yeah.' Lita said.

'Lita-san? Am I going to have to stay in my fox form all the time?' Sai asked.

'Well…you don't have to. But, you might want to, or else our cover might be blow.' Lita explained.

'I see. May I change out every once in a while?' Sai asked.

'We'll take you out to that forest every weekend, ok? And you can change back and run around.' Kurama said. Sai nodded. Just then the door opened.

"Please come with me." A female teacher asked. The two nodded and followed.

"If I may have everyone's attention. We still have two more new students that must be sorted. I would like to introduce Hogwarts first exchange students. Ms. Lita Kitsune and Mr. Kurama Minamono from Japan. I know you will make them feel at home." A man with a long beard and laughing eyes said. "Would you like to introduce yourself to the school?" He asked the two. Kurama nodded.

"My name is Kurama. And Yes, I am male. I'm from near Tokyo, Japan, and was one of the top students at my old school." Kurama said.

"And he is MY boyfriend. So hands off. My name is Lita Kitsune. Kitsune means fox in Japanese. So I guess my name would be Lita Fox translated. Oh, and this is Sai. She is my pet. But you might wanna be careful, she doesn't really understand English….so she might see you as a threat, but she wont hurt you, she is a good girl" Lita said, smiling. 'Sai, you remember Hermione, Harry and Ron from earlier? They are over there, go to them and wait.' Sai nodded and jumped off Lita's shoulder and ran and jumped into Hermione's lap. Of course, as soon as some of the students saw Sai's three tails whispers broke out. Among some of the students.

"I've never seen a fox with three tails."

"Maybe they are only in Japan."

"Maybe…"

"I heard there is a type of fox that has multiple tails. But they are only legends."

'Kurama, should we tell them all she is a Kitsune?' Lita asked.

'Iie, you already told those three. That's plenty.' Kurama said.

"Silence! Now, we will sort the two new students." Dumbledor said.

Kurama sat down on the stool and placed the hat on his head.

'Hmmm…a demon? This is interesting.'

'Yes. I am here on a mission. If you would put me in Griffindor that would be helpful.'

'I see. Yes, I think you would do good in…' "Griffindor!" Kurama stood, removed he hat and went and sat at the table, across form Harry and Co. Sai got up and jumped across the table and into Kurama's lap, curling up and falling asleep. Kurama chuckled somewhat.

Lita next sat on the stool and put the hat on. 'Hmm? Another one? Here for the same reason?'

'Hai, hat-san. If you would be so kind as to put me with my mate…'

"Griffindor!" Lita, smiling, took the hat off and went and sat next to Kurama.

'So far, so good. We haven't blown our cover yet.' Lita said happily as food appeared on the table.

'Yes, and Inari-sama willing we will get through the whole year without blowing our cover.' Kurama said. They ate and then Harry and Co. showed them to the dorms.

"Girls dorms up that way, boys that way. Harry said, pointing to the two different staircases once they were in the common room. "Its getting late, and classes start tomorrow. We should get to bed." Harry said. The others agreed and the girls and boys split up, each group heading to their dorms.

Girls Dorm

"So how do you like Hogwarts so far?" Hermione asked Lita as they got ready for bed.

"Its interesting. I've never seen so many ghosts in one place. And the talking paintings are a little new." Lita said.

"Did you not have any ghosts in Japan?" Hermione asked.

"We had a few, but not many were nice. The nice ones were usually taken straight to Spirit World by spirit guides." Lita said.

"That's interesting." Hermione said.

Lita shrugged. "Nah, they are pretty annoying. Either they are bubbly or they are gloomy. Never in between…." Lita lay down, as did Hermione.

"Well, good night." Hermione said.

"Goodnight." Lita said. Sai yawned and curled up next to Lita.

Boys Dorm

"So what ya think of Hogwarts?" Ron asked.

"It's vary interesting." Kurama said. "There are a lot more people then at my last school."

"Yeah, Hogwarts has a lot of people. Hay Ron, did you notice there was an empty seat at the teachers table." Harry said.

"Yeah. Probably the new D.A.D.A teacher." Ron said.

"Yeah. Well, good night." Harry said.

"Night." Ron said.

"Good night." Kurama said as the three went to sleep.

Next morning

Everyone met in the common room the next morning. They headed down and got their schedules and ate breakfast. "What do you guys have first?" Harry asked.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts." Kurama and Lita said at the same time.

"I have that too." Ron said.

"Me three." Harry said.

"I have Ancient runes first." Hermione said. After breakfast the group split, and they went to their classes.

Harry, Ron, Lita and Kurama walked into the classroom. There were only a few people there. "Wonder what the teacher is going to be like." Harry said.

"I'm wondering how long they last." Ron said. Kurama and Lita looked confused.

"For as long as we have been here the D.A.D.A teacher has only lasted one year." Harry explained.

"Oh." Lita said. They sat down and waited for the teacher to come in…

Yes, a cliffy. I need help; I have two ideas for the D.A.D.A teacher. Either Karasu or Kuronue….what do you think?
