I wish I did, but I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.


"Genkai?" Kurama shouted, now totally upright in his seat. His voice went unnoticed from the applause. He couldn't believe it, but there she was- old and thriving- standing inside Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. The fox demon became anxious to know what connection she had with Dumbledore, and if it possibly had anything to do with the team's mission.

Ron had returned to his spot at the table. "Blimey, she's old," he commented. "Her heart'll go out before she quits."

'Unlikely,' Kurama told him silently. 'From what I understand about Genkai's teachings, we'll be pushing ourselves to our limits. I wonder what magic she knows. Oh well, I'll find out soon enough.'


"Class," Genkai called, "is everyone here?" -silence, with two to three nodds- "Good. Do you all know who I am?" -more nodding- "Then I won't waste any time with introductions. Accio glasses!" A cup appeared in front of every students in the classroom. "Drink up," she ordered. Everyone reluctantly did as they were told.

"This year I will be teaching you children about control." Kurama was beginning to see what Genkai was getting at, but remained still. "Each of you think that by making sounds come out of your mouth and waving a fancy stick in the air, you can make any magic you desire. I'll tell you this- you're all wrong, and I will be in charge of making you all understand what magic is really about. Yes, do you have a question, Miss...?"

"Hermione Granger, Professor," Hermione answered, lowering her hand. "I read that the idea of self-power to control magic is simply theory. How can we be so certain that what we're going to be taught is all truth and fact?"

"I'll give your house five points for that piece of knowledge," Genkai said, "and to answer your question, everyone has separate opinions on what is true and what is fake. Most likely, the author of tha tbook you read wasn't sure of what to make of the idea, but I know the truth. And when I finish with each and every one of you, you'll be three times the wizard you are today. Is that understood, Miss Hermione Granger?"

Taken aback though she was, the girl nodded.

"Good, now I'll give you a demonstration of our future classes together. You two boys, come up in front of the class." She pointed to Harry and Kurama. "I'll need your full consentration for this," she told them, then asked the class, "Who can tell me a couple of things about these two?" Hands flew up from both the Griffindor and Ravenclaw houses.

"Shuuichi Minamino's a new from Japan," a Ravenclaw student yelled.

"Harry Potter survived an encounter from You-Know-Who!" called another.

"K-Shuuichi's bloody genius, and Harry's the best seeker you ever did see," Ron piped in.

"That's enough," Genkai said. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Minamino, do either of you have secrets to share with others that you choose not to?"

"Yes," they answered. Harry thought sadly about his godfather, Sirius, while Kurama thought about his demon side and the mission he was on.

"I see," Genkai said. "How about you go ahead and tell us what that is?"

A pain shot through Kurama's skull. His mouth suddenly had the urge to announce to everyone that he was a demon, but something in his mind knew that he shouldn't.

Kurama gritted his teeth and his brain felt over-exhausted. 'What's going on?' he groaned. He glanced over at Harry, who appeared to be feeling the same as he was- his face was paling and his breathing was quickening. Kurama's head ached from fighting the urge to talk, but his mouth seemed to be growing stronger.

'Kurama,' he heard. 'Don't you dare do anything stupid. It's not the wisest thing to be doing here.' Hiei was staring at the front of the room casually, yet it was clear that he was telepathically communicating with Kurama.

'That's right!' he exclaimed. 'I can use Youko's powers to overpower whatever is running throughout my body!' He closed his eyes, focused on tapping into his other side's energy, and slowly felt back to normal again.

'But he can't overcome this,' Kurama said silently, as he gazed slyly at Harry. Harry's face had become ghostly white, and signs of sweat appeared. 'At least, not by himself he can't.'

Cautiously, Kurama transmitted a small percentage of his spirit energy into the boy's body. His face slowly began to regain its color, and the two Griffindor students exchanged looks of relief. "What was that, Professor?" Kurama asked tiredly. Using Youko's energy and lending some to Harry had left the kitsune feeling especially weak.

"At the beginning of my class, all of you runts accepted my concoction," Genkai explained, pointing her wand at the glasses across the room. "It's a truth-telling potion; Professor Snape graciously lent it to me to use during class." She began to travel around the room. "I could ask any of you a simple question, and you would have to answer it truthfully or else undergo torture. Although," she looked back towards Harry and Kurama, "there is a way to counter the drink, which these two children have incredibly succeeded at doing. Does anyone know why?"

Hermione raised her hand. "Is it because they have more control?"

"Correct!" Genkai proclaimed. "They have discipline of the mind. It's difficult enough to delay to potion's effect, but to lie against it is much harder of a task. I will not tell the rest of you what they did, and will expect you to figure it out on your own. Every class before our lesson, I will test three of you until everyone has as much discipline as Mr. Potter and Mr. Minamino have shown today. For example," she looked at Hermione, "what do you think about my methods of teaching, Miss Granger?"

Hermione bit her lip. After a short pause, she blurted out, "I think using the tactics of truth searoms against defenseless students are terribly unjustly, and that you should take us into consideration before using that stuff on us like we're lab mice!" She finished, gasped, and slapped a hand over her mouth.

"That's quite alright," Genkai laughed. "There's no doubt in my mind that you aren't alone in your opinions. Class is over for today, but Griffindor will recieve an extra ten points for each of the boys up here. I would also like them to remain here after everyone leave; I need to have a quick word with them."
