I wish I did, but I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Harry Potter.
"Congratulations, Ron!" Harry exclaimed sincerely, still following the pets around the room with his eyes. "Have you told your mum yet?"
"Yeah, bit before dinner," he admitted. "Mum said how happy she was that I was becoming a man... not to get too serious until I've got myself a good place in life... how great the Taylor family is... It went on like that for such a long time; probably only ten minutes though, I tend to tune out after five."
"She cares a lot about you, Ron," the fox demon stated factually. His tiny red phoenix had found its master, and had itself now perched on Kurama's shoulder. It looked midly humorous sitting there, considering that it was only two or three inches high.
"Are we supposed to name these guys?" Harry asked. The miniature pegasus had mimicked the phoenix, sitting too on its master's shoulder satifyingly.
"I suppose so," Kurama inquired. He stroked the phoenix's head gently with the tip of his index finger. "Do either of you have any ideas?"
"There things are guys, right?" Ron asked, cocking his head as to get a closer look at his small sphinx.
"Let's just go ahead and assume that they are," retorted Harry. "We could name them after a class we take."
"How about people we know?" Ron tried.
"They could each be name after a founder of Hogwarts School," the kitsune offered. "Then it wouldn't matter as much if our Fantasy animals are male or female."
Harry and Ron said sure at the same time, but insisted that none of them be named after Salazar Slytherin. Kurama laughed at the remark, but agreed to the terms.
"My guy should be Hufflepuff," said Ron. "He looks it, teh me."
"Sounds fair enough," Kurama responded. "Harry, is it alright to you if my animal is name after Ravenclaw?"
"Yeah. I was going to ask you if I could call my little thing Griffindor," Harry nodded. "That worked out well."
After settling on the names of their new pets, Harry, Ron, and Kurama quickly -and tiredly- gathered up Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Griffindor and placed them in smaller-sized cages. Within minutes the three were in bed, sleeping away the rest of the night.
"Ron! Harry! Kurama! Get out of bed!" Ginny Weasley shouted from downstairs. "For goodness sake you three, it's ten thirty! Breakfast'll be all well and gone by the time any of you decide to show up!"
About ten minutes lates, Harry Potter, Kurama, and Ron Weasley were dressed and in the kitchen, along with their new tiny projects. Kurama had thought right before retiring to bed- Hermione and Ginny's Fantasy Eggs had hatched the night before as well as theirs.
"I'd like you to meet Anu," said Hermione proudly. Sitting on a thin tissue on the kitchen table was a small dog-like creature. "He's an Egyptian Anubis, isn't that glorious? I can use him for my Ancient Ruines class!"
"Oh, Hermione, look! Ginger looks like Harry's pet!" A light pink unicorn galloped around Ginny's hot cocoa. "We share the same first three letters, and she looks as soft as ginger, so the name suits her perfectly, wouldn't you agree?"
The boys showed off their Fantasy Creatures (Fred and George were so interested, they were considering trying to sell Fantasy Eggs at their store, and maybe some miniaturized play toys to go along with it) and hungrily sat themselves down for breakfast, where they loaded themselves up on toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, and steaming hot cocoa. The sipped on the warm drink and watched the snow continue to fall outside the window.
"Well, now!" Fred said suddenly, swiftly removing himself from the table. He flashed the group a goofy grin and said, "It's snowing outside. Is anyone up to some good ol' muggle-style snowball fighting?" Everyone blissfully agreed. They changed into their winter robes, along with some warm boots and gloves, and piled out into the backyard.
"Beautiful," Hermione whispered, gazing at the blanket of snow that had managed to appear overnight. There was almost two feet of snow, and when they looked up to the sky it seemed like the snow was simply going to fall forever, until the end of time itself.
The scene was rudely interrupted when Ron threw a snowball at his brother, but it missed and hit Kurama on his right shoulder.
For three hourss Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Ginny, and Kurama mindlessly and carelessly played in the snow. The Weasley twins decided to use their wands to make a ten-foot tall snow fort, so everyone else took out their wands and began sending the balls up and over the fort. They would've probably kept playinguntil dinner, but their fun was intruded upon by none other than Albus Dumbledore himself.
"Good day, everyone," the headmaster of Hogwarts greeted conversationally. "Students, Fred, George." He looked up at the descending snow. "Lovely weather, I must say. Makes the perfect atmosphere of the winter season. Yes, perfect indeed."
"Professor Dumbledore," Kurama was the first to speak, "sir, is there someone you wish to speak to? Mister or Missis Weasley, perhaps?"
"I would have excepted a 'nice to see you again' as well, but yes, I am here on a very important matter," Dumbledore reveiled. "I will need to speak to you alone yet again, Kurama, if you don't mind."
"Of course, sir," the fox demon agreed, bowing slightly in respect. He told his friends to continue pelting Fred and George with snowballs without him, and followed Dumbledore inside the Burrow.
"Get comfortable, if you wish," Dumbledore stated, setting hisself down on a couch. Kurama sat down in a chair closed by. "Hold our main conversation a moment longer, if you will. I could use some warming up." He pulled out his wand and case a spell, creating tongues of fire in the comfort of the fireplace.
"Have you found the culprit that made an attempt on Harry's life, sir?" the kitsune asked curiously. From what he had learned from his few months at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardrt, Dumbledore always chose his words carefully and did everything for a specific purpose and reason.
"I'm afraid that piece of knowledge is still beyond our reach," he answered, in an almost apologetic tone. "I came here to ask you if three boys -I believe the name are Yusuke, Hiei, and Kazuma- are acquantices of yours?"
"Yes, professor," Kurama nodded, "they are very good friends of mine."
"Professor Genkai told me as much," he nodded. "Did you happen to know where any of these three were planning to go over the Christmas holiday?"
"I was told that they were staying at the school, professor." He was wondering where his headmaster was going with this, and remained silent, waiting for his to go on.
He did, and the answer was not positive. "Kurama, your friends have disappeared from the school," Dumbledore revealed.
AN: Yeah, well, sorry about the cliffhanger. I'll try to update soon. I hope it was good.
I've had a cold pretty much all this week, which really stinks. Being sick isn't really my favorite hobby. But I digress- thank you Animefouryou, Everqueen, Makurayami Ookami, SakuraKino, and kirallie (thanks for the long review! that was awesome) for reviewing on chapter 21! I'm glad you guys like what I'm writing!
And yes, Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara are all showing up in the next chapter! I'm really close, I promise!
