A/N;Sorry about the delay, since I been editing and reediting this chapter a lot, since there was some scenes I was not sure of, or weren't too happy with, but here is the end result, and hope you like it.
Also sorry about the battle scene, it was suppose to be longer, and more things was suppose to happen to make this a longer chapter, but I decided to edit it out, since I had plan to add it to another chapter.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
The rest of the school year was uneventful, and Clarisa was surprised but glad, that Ron never bothered her after the incident, or even more surprised, that Draco had not made a appearance to try to talk to her, but unfortunately her luck had a habit of running out when she least expected.
Hogwarts express
In a compartment, Clarisa was reading a book, while Kitsune" as a girl", was quietly watching the sceneries pass by, when the compartment door bang open." WHITEWATER, I have a message from my lord!" A blond teen hissed in a not so friendly way at Clarisa." Sorry not interested Malfoy, just tell your lick his boots master, I have no desire to hear his stupid talks." Clarisa informed Malfoy with the same tone." Then if you won't listen, then take this!" Draco yelled, and pulled out his wand." Reducto!" Draco yelled, but to both Clarisa and Draco surprise, Kitsune was between them and not only with her right hand outwards, she had absorbed the curse, and then with a flick of her wrist, Draco was thrown out of the doorway, which in the next second the sliding door was shut.
For a few minutes Clarisa was shocked, since she had no idea Kitsune was capable of doing magic, other then shape shifting." So there is more then you then I thought Kitsune?" Clarisa thought as she shook her head before going to back to her book.
About halfway through the ride, Clarisa was interrupted by the door opening." Oh there you are, I been looking all over for you." A bushy brown hair girl said, as she walked into the compartment." Hi Hermione, back from your prefects meeting, how was it?" Clarisa asked." Interesting, we spent most of the time talking about next year and such." Hermione informed Clarisa and went more into the meeting.
Some hours before reaching their destination, the trio was interrupted, as numerous explosions rocked the train violently." WHAT THE!" Both Clarisa and Hermione yelled, as more explosions sounded." Great, we are being attack by Death eaters on broomsticks!" Clarisa worriedly informed Hermione, as she saw a number of them fly by the window." How are we going to defend ourselves?" Hermione asked, just as another explosion exploded just outside their window, sending into the compartment dust and debris, while at the same time knocking both teens to the ground.
Seconds after the explosion, winds begins to throw things about, and Clarisa was horrified to find almost all of the wall was missing, creating a large hole to the outside of the moving train, and not only that Kitsune was nowhere to be seen." Hermione, have you seen Kitsune?" Clarisa worriedly asked, while shouting above the noise of the wind, and Hermione was wide-eye." Oh no, she was by the window when it exploded!" Hermione quickly said, but another worry was seen, since in the distance, five Death eaters on broomsticks started to descend into the hole." Hermione get ready to fight!" Clarisa quickly warned, and both girls quickly took out their wands, and got ready to defend themselves.
As the Death eaters got close enough, Clarisa and Hermione was about to cast several spells, but both girls quickly stopped, as a huge fireball engulf the Death eaters for a few seconds, and once it was clear, the five Death eaters was desperately putting out the flames on theirs clothes, but quickly Apparated away just moments later.
For a while the two girls didn't say anything, as they stared at the outside of the hole, until a large light brown creature flew pass the window." That was a dragon!" Hermione shouted, as they both rush up to the hole, to see the dragon fighting off over ten Death eaters, and was winning.
After a great display of flying and agility, the dragon had took out three of the ten Death eaters, before the rest had Apparated away, leaving the dragon behind, which it gave out a loud roar of victory.
For five minutes, the dragon just flew lazily around, and seem happy to fly around, but as it got near the train it dived towards where Clarisa and Hermione was, and both was too shock to move, until they both blink, the Dragon was gone, and a small light brown fox fell into the damage compartment landing on its feet before teens.
It took a few minutes before Clarisa could talk and looked to Kitsune, whom was now rubbing against her legs." I really need to see what you are capable of Kitsune!" Clarisa could only say, as she shook her head unbelieving that Kitsune was just a dragon just minutes ago." We can do that later, but for now we should check the rest of the train." Hermione worriedly informed Clarisa, and both rushed out of the compartment.
The damages to the train was numerous, but luckily it made its way to Platform 9 3/4 without trouble, but as for the students, a large number had minor injuries from the attack, which luckily Clarisa helped heal with Healing potions which she got from Shadow Mansion.
By the time Hogwarts Express stopped at Platform 9 3/4, all those who was injured was fully healed, and was gladly welcome back by their parents, whom was not so happy when they heard what had happen, and seeing the damages to the train did not help any.
The last to leave the damage train was Clarisa and the Prefects, whom earlier was making sure everyone had left the train unharmed, but once Clarisa stepped off, she was embrace in a bone crushing hug by a red hair." Oh Clarisa, we all been so worried about you and everyone else." Molly Weasley worriedly said, as she looked over Clarisa and each of her children." We are fine mom, thanks to Clarisa's potions." Fred informed his mother, as he looked proudly at Clarisa, whom blushed at the attention." It was nothing, since I always keep a large supply at the mansion." Clarisa informed Molly, whom smiled at Clarisa." I'm glad you did Clarisa, but we should head back now, so everyone gather around." Molly said, as she gesture everyone to her, and once together, they were port keyed back to Shadow Mansion.
Back at the mansion, everyone happily got settled into their rooms, all except for Ron, whom was angrily muttering about being stuck in a Dark wizard's home, while he went straight to his room.
Once in her room, Clarisa was worried as she played with Kitsune by having the little fox chase a ball around." Great, today is the day I will tell everyone else about you Kitsune." Clarisa informed the little fox, whom instinctly turned into a girl, to sit beside Clarisa." Even though I know they will welcome you with open arms, I'm worried about their first reactions towards you." Clarisa informed Kitsune, whom just hugged Clarisa." Thanks I needed that, but I just thought of a neat prank to play on Sirius, will you help me with it?" Clarisa asked, and Kitsune nodded." Good, here what we will do." Clarisa started, and went over the prank with Kitsune.
Even though the large dinning room was quite as Clarisa entered, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Weasley quietly talking to Sirius and Remus as they sat on one of the many tables, and with a gulp Clarisa headed to them with Kitsune as a fox in Clarisa's arms.
As Clarisa got near the group, Sirius smiled at her." Clarisa, glad to see you back, and this time you didn't need to stay in bed." Sirius joked, but was startled as he notice Clarisa was carrying a young girl, but when he blinked Clarisa was carrying a small fox." What a nice fox, where did you get her?" Sirius asked, as he quickly dismissed seeing the girl." Actually Kitsune found me in Cairo, while I was shopping in the market place." Clarisa informed her Godfather, as Kitsune looked about the table." I been to Cairo, and there I heard rumors of a fox daemon, so is that it?" Remus asked, as he spied the fox." Actually I believe it is." Clarisa informed Remus, as she sat next to Sirius." It does seem young to be somewhere around two-hundred years old?" Remus asked Clarisa, as he looked Kitsune over, but as he blinked, he saw a girl in Clarisa's arms, and then in the next second it was fox." Clarisa, is there something you want to tell us about Kitsune?" Remus suspiciously asked, as Clarisa shook her head." No not really, but maybe later once we eaten I will." Clarisa said, and then smiled as Kitsune jumped off her lap, and surprised Sirius, by running up his leg, and settling in his lap." Oh look like Kitsune found another comfortable cushion, to sleep in." Clarisa joked, as Sirius glared at Clarisa, but started petting Kitsune's fur." Kitsune better not get too comfortable." Sirius warned, as Kitsune started climbing up Sirius to lick his face, which made everyone laugh." Alright, alright Kitsune, you can stay as long as you want, please stop attacking me!" Sirius pleaded, and Kitsune return to his lap, and seem satisfied that she had won the battle.
Dinner was enjoyable, and even Sirius had fun by sneaking food to Kitsune to Molly's disapproval." Sirius, we really should make Kitsune a plate, so she can eat on her own." Molly scolded." But what is the fun in that, and I think Kitsune like to be pampered Right Clarisa." Sirius asked, as he turned to the teen." I don't mind at all, since Kitsune made lots of friends this way." Clarisa inform Molly whom still was not sure." Alright, but every now and then, I want to see Kitsune eating off her own plate." Molly warned Clarisa, and Sirius, and they nodded at the suggestion.
About halfway through dinner, Clarisa notice Ron whom was sitting far from her leaving his table, as soon as he had eaten everything in reach, and she sighed hoping they can repair their friendship, but unfortunately for now it look like it won't happen anytime too soon.
Once dinner was over and everyone was full, a smiling Clarisa looked about." Ah Snuffles, Moony, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, there's something you should know about Kitsune." Clarisa said, getting everyone attention." What is it Clarisa?" Molly asked, but a startle yell from Sirius made everyone turn to him, as he fell backward and landed on his back.
Everyone except for Clarisa was off their seats to help Sirius, but as they got near him, they were surprise to see a three year old girl sitting on him." Sirius, where did she come from?" Molly gasped out." I don't know, but I think she IS Kitsune." Sirius said, as he looked to Clarisa for conformation." Come on Kitsune, I will need you to shield me now." Clarisa quickly said, and Kitsune got off Sirius and got settled on Clarisa's lap, while everyone was staring at her.
With Kitsune protecting Clarisa, Clarisa told the entire story to the group, and once Clarisa was done." CLARISA WHITEWATER, feeding a three year old girl like an animal, how could you!" Molly angrily yelled, making Clarisa flinch." Mrs. Weasley, Kitsune IS a magical creature, which can magically turn into any creature it sees, and once she changed, she will act like that creature." Clarisa quickly explain." What about Kitsune's human self." Molly asked, since she seemed unconvinced." Kitsune will act like us, except she can't talk, but other then that, she can do almost anything we can do, including think for herself." Clarisa finished, and Molly sighed in defeat." I guess I will accept this, but I don't want you to treat Kitsune like an animal while she is human do make I make myself clear!" Molly sternly warned, and Clarisa quickly nodded." I always treated Kitsune like my younger sister when she is human; I would never treat her any differently." Clarisa firmly said, as Molly nodded." Then I guess, all we need now is to officially make Kitsune part of our family." Molly happily said, as she got up and took Kitsune from Clarisa's lap, and gave her a big hug, while Clarisa was happy to have this out in the open.
