I wish I did, but I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
"I still don't get get," Ron groaned, letting a large yawn escape. "Hermione, run it by me again why in the wizarding world we're up at five-thirty in the morning?" He had to keep pinching himself to keep from falling off to the side. If Harry hadn't felt just as tired as his friend, he may have found it funny, while Kurama seemed to be just as awake and alert as he'd been in the Quidditch tryouts.
"Because Ron," Hermione explained, irritated, "Professor McGonagall posts the Quidditch team results promtly at five o'clock, and within an hour from then, other students will be up and coming down here. It seems much more reasonable to be the first group to take a look at who's on who's team. There now, we're almost there." The girl grabbed Ron and Harr's wrists anxiously and led the way to McGonagall's office, Kurama beside them.
Hermione ran her finger down the paper attached to the front of the door. "Keeper's Nicole Taylor- no surprise in that; Harry, you're seeker again; oh Ron! You and Seamus are beaters this year! Neville's the back up apparently, and..." She stopped in mid-sentence, did a double take at the kitsune, and stared questionably at the parchment yet again.
"What is it Hermione?" Harry asked.
"He made the team..." she responded awkwardly.
"Jolly good then," Ron said, yawning for the second time, "so what's the deal?"
"Kurama," Hermione asked, "how come you recieved two positions for the team?"
"Huh?" the three boys said at once. They took a closer look at the list announcing the Griffindor Quidditch team:
Griffindor Quidditch Team
Harry Potter- seeker Ron Weasley- beater
Seamus Finnigan- beaterNicole Taylor- keeper
Dean Thomas- chaser Shuuichi Minamino- chaser
Shuuichi Minamino- seeker alternate Neville Longbottom- beater alternate
Practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday starting next week.
"Perhaps it's a typo," Kurama suggested. He was certain that he'd remember if he'd signed up for more than one position.
"I assure you, it's not a typo." Professor McGonagall stood behind the four, towaring over them, and making Ron jump out of his present yawning fit.
"Professor," Hermione began, trying to understand her teacher's reasoning, "I thought that every student was selected to only one position per team."
"Ah... that may be true in most cases, Ms. Granger," McGonagall smile reassuringly, "but I made an exception to Mr. Minamino." Her gaze fell on a demon. "You sir, have talent. Best I've seen since Mr. Potter here. I can tell you'll be an important assett to the Griffindor Quidditch team." She continued, "Alternates won't normally need to perform their duty, but after Mr. Potter feel and broke his arm a few years ago, I wasn't sure of what I would do if it were to happen again.
"Shuuichi has a knack for this sport, and he will do quite well in Harry's place if Harry ever ends up missing a game. If or when that happens, he will fill in as seeker, Mr. Weasley will fill in as chaser," -Ron's eyes widened in a mix of fear and excitement- "and Mr. Longbottom will be our beater. Does that make more sense now, all of you?" They nodded. "Good. I'll be seeing you, then. Good day." She opened the door and disappeared behind it.
"Really Hermione, it's no trouble," Kurama assured, "I'll just have some extra Quidditch practice, that's all." He saw that she didn't look so sure. "You'll still be at the first match, right? It'll be my first time, and I'll need any support I can find."
As predicted, Hermione turned pink. "Well, I mean..." She looked at him and seemed to gain confidence. "Like I said before- wouldn't miss it."
"Well, it's all well that you get another postion," Ron put in, "but what about me? If you fill in for Harry, I'll have to be a chaser! A chaser, you guys! You know I could barely handle keeper, and chaser's worse! That would make me charge of making all the goals!"
"I can help you out," Kurama offered, "that is, if you want. And Harry can help me train for the seeker position."
"Sounds good," Harry nodded.
"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" Ron shouted, paused, then yawned. "Now, either we go down to breakfast, or I'm going to bed."
AN: Hooray! I got more reviews! Thanks a lot Animefouryou, booklover9, and Marikalay for writing in! And Katzzar, sorry I had Harry have brown hair, but I just put that in from the movie. I'll try to put up another chapter soon! Ciao!
