Reviewers: im sorry im not able to respond to each of them individually, but I promise you that I read eaech and every one of them! They make me happy =) thanks to you all! If theres a question that I haven't answered that's in an earlier review, I WILL have the answer put into the story sooner or later...depending on how fast I can make it work to the plots benefit!
Telepathy- /Kurama to Hiei/ \hiei to Kurama\ = "Japanese" = ~ "Makai-nese"~ "English" "[Japanese that I think need (translations)] in English dialogue" – I wont use this very often...if you need a translation, let me know in a review and ill mention it in the AN of the next chapter!

By the time Transfiguration rolled around, Kurama had visibly calmed down. He sat in the back of the classroom with Hiei, was who perched on the window sill. The students filed in one by one, each sparing the new student a curious glance, but taking their seats. Hiei slipped off the window and tok the seat between Kurama and the window. Ron and Draco, who looked fine, glared at each other, before Hermione settled the argument by sliding into the empty seat on the other side of Kurama. Draco huffily sat in the seat in front of the demon, and Ron took Hermione's other side.
The bell rang, and Professor McGonagall strode in, and announced to the class, "This year, we will be starting Animagus theory and transformations. Not all of you will have the ability, and a rare few of you will have the ability to take on more than one form, though I highly doubt it." McGonagall was addressing the class, but it was quite obvious she was making the point for Kurama, who was known to be able to accomplish the impossible or the improbable. Kurama rolled his eyes discreetly. "What is the highest number of animagus forms recorded?" Hermione's hand shot into the air. McGonagall nodded at her. "Miss Granger?"
"Three."
"That would be correct. No one has ever-"
"Hn. Wrong."
McGonagall stopped her lecture, surprised at the interruption. She frowned disapprovingly, "Mr...Hiei, would you please give a last name. It is quite discourteous for a superior to have to refer to you by your given name." Kurama shot a panicked glance and opened his mouth to make up a name for the fire-demon. Said demon was currently starting to smoke at the insult of being called an inferior, but calmed down when Kurama laid a warning hand on his arm.
"Professor, Hiei' last name is..."
"Minamino." Kurama shot his head around, mouth gaping at the last name Hiei chose and sent him questioning look.
"My last name is Minamino." Hiei gave a pointed glare at the fox, who quickly backed down and agreed. /Minamino, Hiei? / Kurama asked teasingly, sending an amused glance at Hiei. \Hn. Baka kitsune.\ Kurama smiled, and flushed slightly. /Your kitsune. /
"Hn." Hiei agreed smugly.
"Very well, Mr...Minamino," McGonagall said, stumbling over the foreign name. "Who do you know who has more than three animagus forms?" Kurama groaned and buried his face into his hands. /Hiei...please...they don't know about shape shifters. Besides, that doesn't really count anyways. / Hiei narrowed his eyes. \Fine. \ He shook his head, indicating he didn't have an answer.
McGonagall nodded sharply, "Thank you. Next time please, do not interrupt me. Merlin is the only known wizard to have three animagus forms, though stronger wizards and witches throughout history such as the Founders are known to have two. I myself only have one, as you well know, but our esteemed Headmaster has two." Whispering broke out as the class debated over this new tidbit of information. Kurama frowned- this may be some cause for concern. /Hiei... / \I'll be careful, kitsune. His reiki is distinctive.\
McGonagall clapped her hands to gain the class's attention. "I want at three feet on the theory of Animagi, due next class, as well as a list of possible animagus forms for you and why. We will be using potions to determine who has the ability for the Animagus transfiguration, as well as what you will be next class. You may start now. Everything you need to know is either in your textbook or in the library." The sounds of paper rustling and quills scratching across parchment signaled the start of the class as they began to try to find enough information for their essay.
By the end of class, Hermione had filled a foot and a half in her smallest writing of information, Ron had three sentences down and was groaning about how much work they had to do, after being caught napping ("Mr. Weasly! Five points from Gryphindor for sleeping during class!"), and Draco had about a six inches and had started compiling a list of possible animagus forms. Kurama and Hiei, who took up his seat on the window again, were having a quiet conversation, neither having had started either assignment. McGonagall stepped out of the room, and class became total pandemonium, many abandoning their work and turning to talk with their neighbor. Parchment planes flew around the room often directed with a spell, and Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan were having a competition to see who could keep the most books in the air with Wingardium Leviosa. Various others were placing bets on whose books would crash to the floor first. In the corner next to window, it was still relatively quiet.
~ "Dumbledore may cause a problem, as we don't know either one of his animagus forms. Be careful, Hiei. He mustn't find out that you're a youkai!"~ Kurama cautioned softly. ~"Also, McGonagall has an animagus form- a cat." ~ Kurama closed his eyes and lowered his mental barriers slightly. Hiei reached up and slightly released his ward, just enough for the Jagan to be able to catch the telepathic images that Kurama was sending him as the fox demon gave instructions. ~ "Don't get caught! Filch and his cat also wanders the corridors at night, trying to catch students out of bed, so be careful. If you can do so without alerting him, try to find out either of Dumbledore's animagus forms. Remember, he can use Occlumency and is a Legilimens."~ Thus saying, sending images of the people he spoke of as he spoke, he wrapped up his talk with a last warning. ~ "There are ghosts around, who will report to the Headmaster, as well as a poltergeist- Peeves. He will do anything to draw attention to you if he sees you."~
~ "Hn. You underestimate me, fox."~
Kurama laughed softly. "That I do, Hiei. Gomen ne," he said lightly, teasing the small youkai. Draco turned around, resting his arms on Kurama's desk.
"What do you do, Harry?"
= "Mm-mm. Nandemonai." = Kurama shook his head, dismissing the question and changing the topic, "What animals do you think you might be?"
Draco rolled his eyes, "It's always 'nothing' lately. Alright, I'll pretend I don't know what you just did and answer your question," Kurama smiled innocently. Draco picked up his list and started reading; Ron and Hermione had leaned over and were listening too, at this point. "Eagle owl or panther- that's the Malfoy crest, Snake- Slytherin, Raven-" here, Draco shrugged, "I may not be as smart as Granger, but I'm still quite clever." Ron sniggered, and Draco shot a glare over. "Shut it, Weasley. That's all I have so far."
"Hey Malfoy! You forgot one!" Ron said. Draco raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow,
"And what might that be, Weasley?"
"A ferret!" Ron yelled, getting the attention of the rest of the class. The Gryphindors broke down laughing, and the Slytherins stiffened, annoyed. Draco's face tinged pink, but he raised his head defiantly and said, proudly, "Then I suppose you'll be a weasel, Weasel?"
Ron flushed then raised his wand, eager to do some harm to the blonde. Silence fell. A large crash announced the releasing of the levitation spell, but no one paid attention to that, all centering on the possible conflict in the corner. In a flash, Kurama was out of his seat and standing between them, as was Hiei. Kurama was holding Ron's wand in his hand, and Hiei had Draco's. The two wandless wizards gaped at them, as did much of the class.
"H-how did you get our wands?"
"Your grips weren't right. Ron, you're holding your wand too tightly- if you get hit with Expelliarmus, you will be blasted back harshly, possible hitting a wall and losing consciousness. Draco- your wand was too loosely held, if you get hit with Expelliarmus, you may not get hurt, but you will die without your wand if you cannot use muggle ways of defense." Kurama graciously gave the wands back to their owners and got them back into their seats just as McGonagall came back into the room. She took a severe look around, noting the students out of their seats, and the stiff postures of the two houses as well as the huge pile of books at the feet of the two Gryphindors.
"Ms. Granger, was there any problems while I was out of the room?"
"Pro-"
Kurama cut her off smoothly, "No, Professor. No problems at all."
McGonagall gave a slightly disbelieving look at him, before saying sternly, "Very well then. Remember, three feet on Animagus theory, and a list of possible forms. You are dismissed."
The class rushed out of the classroom eagerly, while the NEWT Potions students turned to trudge down to the dungeons.

Next up! Potions with Snape! Ok...im going to rant a bit abt a review I got from someone I who refered to themselves as 'pissed off.' Even if they're prob. Never gonna read this, im gonna say it anyways: Mr/ Ms. Pissed of, if you didn't want to read the story, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE OPENED IT! I clearly wrote in the summary that it was SLASH so if you didn't like it, you didn't have to read it! And if you actually DO read it, you would realize that there is barely any romance at ALL! Yeesh! Dammit! Ok...calm....anyways, I hope you like the story so far! There will be a plot, I promise! Im just...not quite there yet...sorry! Also, if anyone can think of any ideas for Draco's animagus form or Ron or Hermione, please let me know! Abt Hiei's last name, I just thought it was cute. Jaganshi was overused, and I thought, why not? Minamino Shuuichi might come into the story later too~ lol! Please review! Btw- remember! My sn is going to be changed to 'obsydia' on the first of march!
