You guys are soooo awesome! I love you!
Enjoy
They were all sitting pleasantly in the common room, they again were the last one's there, except for Harry. Hermione sat in a overstuffed chair near the fire, writing a enormous letter. Ron and Miroku sat on the floor, also near the fire. Working on they're transfiguration essays, due the next day, well actually Ron was copying off Miroku's parchment. And Inuyasha also sat in an overstuffed chair contently, with Kagome in his lap.
All but Hermione looked to the portrait hole when Harry came in.
" So, how was it?" Ron asked right off. Harry shuffled nervously.
" How was what?"
" The kiss, you did kiss her didn't you." Hermione said not looking up from her letter.
" Well!" Ron demanded.
" She was crying." Harry said finally. Ron looked puzzled.
" Now why would she do that? You'd think a kiss would cheer her up." Miroku, and Kagome his their smiles while Ron went on about girls making no sense. Hermione sighed angrily.
" Isn't it obvious? She's sad cause Cedric died, and she's now having feeling for Harry, and she feels like she'd betraying Cedric's memory by feeling so. And she's been playing Quidditch so badly."
" One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode." Inuyasha and Kagome looked at one another… it's possible.
" Ron just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have," Hermione said going back to her writing.
" Who're you sending that book to anyway?" Ron asked looking over her shoulder at it. She quickly rolled it up.
" Viktor."
" KRUM?"
………….
"Psst. Kagome, wake up." Inuyasha whispered, patting Kagome lightly on the cheek.
" Ummer…" Was Kagome's waking answer, only she didn't wake.
" Kagome, get up!" Inuyasha whispered again, patting her a bit harder. Kagome's eyes fluttered open.
" Inuyasha? What ar-" Kagome's eyes widened, she pulled Inuyasha into her bed and closed the curtain, sealing them off from the rest of the room. " What are you doing in here! Everyone knows you're able to be out and around the castle after hours, BUT NOT IN THE GIRLS DORMITORY!" Kagome whispered to him quickly, standing up on her bed. " We've got to get you out of here before someone wakes up!" Inuyasha sighed asn grabbed Kagome's ankles and pulled them out from under her. She eep-ed as she fell softly to the bed.
" Now let me explain." Inuyasha said, still not letting go of her feet. " There's some people down in the main room, who want to talk to Hermione. It's better that you wake her up."
" But then why are you in here?"
" Miroku got up too. Did you really want me to send him in here?" Inuyasha asked flatly.
" NO, now get out of here, before some one wakes up." Inuyasha feh-ed and in a small whisp of wind he was gone. Kagome yawned tiredly, and pulled back the curtain, and walked to where Hermione slept.
" Yo, Hermione." Kagome said, shaking her shoulder. Hermione woke easily, and sat up in bed.
" What is it Kagome?"
" Inu- erm, there are people in the common room that want to see you." Kagome said backing up so Hermione could get out of bed.
" That's strange." Hermione commented putting on a robe to cover her nightdress. " Who could it be?" She murmured walking down the staircase, with Kagome just a few steps behind. As they reached the bottom of the staircase the figures became cleaner. The fire in the fireplace had gone out, so it was dark. There were four people, three tall ones and one hunched over. Kagome could tell which ones were Miroku and Inuyasha, but the other two she couldn't.
" Moody? Sirius?" Hermione asked the two shadows. " Lumos." Hermione's wand lit up, and illuminated the two people. One was pale, and had dark shaggy harry, and the other had dark scarred skin and a large pale eye that was currently staring at Inuyasha, but the other, normal, eye was focused on Hermione.
" Moody, Sirius what are you doing here?" Hermione asked looking around for other students that might still be up. " Is Harry in trouble?" Hermione asked urgently.
" Keep yer knickers on girly, we're just her to fetch you." Moody said in his gravely voice.
" Fetch us?" Miroku asked smoothing his bed-head ridden hair into it's usual small ponytail in the nape of his neck. Sirius stepped in, but didn't look at Miroku.
"Mr. Weasley's been attacked, and Harry visioned it." Hermione looked scared.
" Is he alright?"
" He will be, but Harry's real upset, and he'll settle down if he's with his friends."
" Where are we going?" Inuyasha stepped up, and asked. He didn't exactly trust either of the two wizards. They didn't smell the same as all the other wizards in the castle.
" His place." Moody said gruffly, jabbing mutilated thumb towards Sirius. " You'll be spending Christmas there as well, so pack a bag." Everyone stood there. " What yer waitin' for? Get goin'!" Kagome and Hermione both ran back up the steps to their dormitory. While Miroku and Inuyasha just walked calmly up their steps.
" Hermione, who were those people?" Kagome asked slipping out of her pajama pants and into a pair of jeans.
" The one with the large eye was a professor here last year… sorta. And the other man is Sirius, Harry's god father."
" Oh." Kagome answered while throwing some clothes over the parcels in her infamous yellow backpack. " So we'll be having Christmas at his house?" Hermione shuddered.
" If you can call it that." She answered pulling her trunk off her bed carefully, and heading towards the door.
" What's wrong with it?" Kagome asked walking alongside Hermione.
" It's dark and dirty, or at least it was when I was last there."
" Oh," Kagome answered incomprehensibly. They came back into the common room to have the other four waiting for them. Kagome noticed that both Inuyasha and Miroku had shoulder packs tied across their chests. (Like Akitoki Hojo in the 2nd movie)
" How are we getting there Sirius? A lot of people would see us if we fly. Are we going by floo powder?" Hermione asked, setting down her trunk, while Inuyasha shuddered. He recalled his last encounter with the substance.
"No, the floo grid is being closely watched." Moody growled, refastening his cloak around his crooked shoulder.
" We've got a portkey ready in the forbidden forest." Sirius said, as he became a floating head, via an invisibility cloak.
" None of us are aloud out side after dark, so you lead the way Inuyasha." And he did. The journey was silent. As they reached the forests edge Inuyasha asked.
" Now where to?"
" It's a ways into the forest, I'll lead now." Moody said, limping to the front of the group.
" Stay close Kagome, I don't like this place." Inuyasha whispered to her as he walked beside her.
" What you've been in the forbidden forest before." Kagome asked looking around their dark surroundings.
" Of course I have. But I still don't like it."
" What's in the bag?" Kagome asked, pointing to the wrap around his shoulders.
" It's a surprise." Their conversation was cut short when Moody said,
" Here it is!"
" Here what is?" Miroku asked looking over Inuyasha's shoulder, he'd been walking behind them.
" This." Moody said pointing to a metal tent stake on the ground.
" Is this the portkey?" Hermione asked, pulling it out of the ground. " Everybody grab on." They did so, and vanished.
