THE BOYS WHO LIVED

Chapter Two: Hakkai Seiryuu Hunter

The second day at the Winchester High had Harry, Ron and Draco in the embarrassment session. All three of them had Gym class and after breakfast they went into the locker rooms. The rooms had an odor to it that made even Draco sick. Draco had to hold his breath while changing into his gym uniform with the other guys. "I look like a slut!" Draco cried as he came out dressed in a white shirt with a pair of shorts that is slightly too high for their liking, showing off his skinny white legs and long thighs. They walked out to join the class Harry was surprised to see the size of the gym.

It was built for both indoors and outdoors with a swimming pool, basketball court, weightlifting room, a boxing section, fencing and many other things used to do physical activities. They all wore the same white shirt with the Winchester High logo which was that of a wolf with all four legs spread out ready to attack and tail high in the air snarling. Harry stood with Draco and Ron both of which are on either side of him glaring daggers at each other. Harry rolled his eyes as he walked in line with the rest of the class.

As the last bell rang and the class assembled the head teacher walked out. He was dressed like the average coach except he did not match the body form. The stereotypical coach was one who was ether overly fat or overly muscular this guy does not even fit the build true he is muscular but slender and more streamlined then the stereotypical coach. Now Harry knew this guy's for real because he could tell by the way he carries himself. He carries himself with an air of confidence and fluidity like that of a cat on the prowl.

He was of average height with deeply tanned skin and close cropped black hair with a pair of shades on his head. He was quite slender with hard muscles giving him a lean look. The man wore a green shirt tucked in a pair of Khaki shorts with a clip board and Nike shoes. His hard chiseled face also added to the air of confidence that makes most students awe in envy. He turned to the class whistle ready, he put it to his lips and blew it signaling the start of class. As the students assembled he turned to each and every one of them, "Alright people welcome to another year of gym class," he said and everyone groaned, "For you exchange students and new comers I am Ponci Richardson and I am your coach for this course," he said, "I will call out your names and when I do you will say 'here,' ok roll call," he said and the class waited.

"Anderson, William"

"Here!"

Harry waited as the teacher called out the different names but then one name struck him as the teach called it out, "Hunter, Hakkai," he said and there was a soft but audible, "Here," and Harry turned to find that it was the girl who answered. She stood there staring ahead as the coach called names till finally he came to, "Malfoy, Draco," and Draco made a very noticeable, "Here," and names still continued to be called till it came finally to, "Potter, Harry," and Harry for once was glad no one turned to him in recognition. "Here!" It was one of the things he liked about the Muggle World. Harry relished in the solitude for a while till it came to, "Weasley, Ronald," "Here!" Ron said a little too loudly and Harry had to smirk at that.

The coach finally put away his clipboard after marking everyone down and then started to begin the first thing of the day which was running. Harry, Ron and Draco having played Quidditch were in good shape for you have to be to play well on a broom. All three boys jogged lightly while some people began to pant from being out of shape. The only one who did not seemed fazed was Hakkai or Kai for short, as she jogged in front of them not even breaking a sweat. From what Harry could tell Kai had the body of an athlete but looked somewhat more curvy and powerful. She carried an air of a predator on the prowl for her prey; something that scared him a bit. He then recalled what Dean said the other night and stayed well away from her.

The class followed up in doing pushups, stretches, sit ups, and other warm-ups until the coach blew the whistle and they joined him. "Listen up people today we are going to be doing gymnastics," there was a groan from the class, "Now don't give me that I am sure if you put your mind to it that there would be no problems right?" he said with amusement and the class glared at him.

Coach Ponci it turns out was a slave driver as he made the students try to do flips. Harry was really clumsy with this as he kept falling and landing on his head. Cartwheels he could do along with Draco. Ron had a little harder time but managed to do it. "Alright then Hakkai you seem to have a hand at this you do it." The coach said and Kai ran as fast as she could before tumbling and doing many cartwheels and back flips till she somersaulted and landed on her feet. The crowds only clapped a little for her and then left to do their own routines. Harry felt sorry for Kai as they all ran from her in fear. Ron and Draco saw the look that he was giving to her as they walked up to Harry.

"What do you want Malfoy," Harry said not seeing Ron walk up beside him, "I don't know couldn't help but notice that you seemed to care a bit about the so called psychopath," replied Draco as he looked towards the girl. "Fuck off Malfoy," Harry said, "Oh what is wrong with checking out a legitimate killer?" he mocked, "Well at least she is not having people kissing her feet at every beck and call," Harry growled back and Draco turned to Harry his blonde locks looking rather stiff. "Well if I had known you had a taste in killers Potter I would have set you up with Nagini or better yet the Dark Lord himself," with that he walked away leaving the two Gryffindors to flick him off behind his back.

It was the end of class as the trio left the lockers and started towards their next class. But what they heard made their stomach turn cold. It was the cause of a commotion as someone shouted, "Fight someone is fighting Kai!" and they ran to where everyone was gathered watching.

There was Kai with a girl clearly older then her and a group of other girls some of them looking well over eighteen. Most wearing lose clothes fit for outdoor activities. Some wore shirts that revealed a little too much of their cleavages. The one in the front was the worse of the lot.

She was the typical blonde with a very curvy body and clothes that made some of the boys drool. She wore a very skimpy outfit that did not leave much to the imagination. The girl had a very fat face covered in bruises and what looks like a broken jaw. Students gathered around to watch as she tried to pick herself up. The girl could not speak as her jaw was set at an odd angle. From looking at her she was struggling to stay up with her left arm at an odd angle and one of her legs is not doing so hot either. Kai on the other hand was perfectly fine in fact she looked almost happy! She was smirking amused white pointed teeth showing, her eyes glowing almost with anticipation as blood dripped down the girls face. She took the blood that was on her hands and licked them slowly enjoying the taste.

Harry, Ron and Draco looked horrified at the sight of a girl willingly licking blood and enjoying it. Student began to back away in fear as Kai approached the girl growling softly. The girl backed away slowly, "Sarah get out of there!" yelled another girl this one too was beaten up a bit." Now that the trio looked at them there were some strange claw marks on their clothes and their faces suffered brutally for that, "Told you she was psycho don't know why the yanks that brought her here would want her in a British school," said a voice and the three turned to see the same boy from before.

He was tall and overly skinny with the looks of someone who will fly if you threw him to the wind. His overly large thick glasses and pocket protectors already classifies him as a geek. "You mean she did this before?" Harry asked, "Didn't you hear what Thomas said last night!" Draco interrupted, "I did but I wanted to hear it from him," he said pointing to the boy, "Eddie," the boy replied, "Ok Eddie….." "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" someone shouted and they all turned to find Headmaster Kee-Hong walking towards the middle. "Hunter, Jefferson what is the meaning of this!" he said and both turned to him.

"That Bitch is what happened!" another girl shouted as she and two other girls all dressed the same grabbed the sides of Sarah supporting her. Shaking his head he glared at them, "I will deal with you later Hunter… my office NOW!" he shouted and Kai looked at him with her head cocked before she walked over to her stuff and followed him. The school walked away as if nothing happened and Harry, Draco, and Ron turned to Eddie the geek, "So what class you got now?"

Physics class was mentally tiring luckily for Harry he had Eddie the geek with him. Draco had drama and political science and Ron had Home Economics with Hermione. Seeing the two in a cooking class brought a smile to Harry's face at finally seeing them get together. At the moment he is the only one taking this course with Eddie. "Ok Eddie talk," as the teacher was writing on the board their notes for class. Eddie and Harry wrote the notes down and then Eddie began to explain his hazel eyes make him look kind of creepy. "Kai is a kid from the states that I am sure you heard," he said and Harry nodded, "Well her parents were killed when she was little and she lived with strange relatives. The strangest thing is that they put some kind of tattoo on her arm," he said and Harry looked at him funny, "She keeps it hidden with makeup but it is there. It is a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth." He said and Harry went pale.

"Are you sure it is the dark mark?" Hermione asked Harry as he ate his lunch and he nodded. "That is what Eddie told me he said that the tattoo was placed when she was an infant." He said and continued to munch on his fish and chips. Ron looked at both of them like they are nuts, "Come one I am sure she is not that bad?" he said, "Not bad Ron you where there when she was licking blood off her fingertips," Harry shot back and Ron blushed, "I forgot," he said, "anyways Eddie said that it was strange that she was able to escape the facilities that she was placed in. The so called deaths all happened when they tried to tie her down. She could smash the building open and escape only to be found near a zoo or animal shelter," Harry said and the two gave him weird looks, "Animal shelter?" asked Hermione and Ron had to look at that funny, "Yeah I mean they say she always have a thing with animals especially birds, snakes and whales," Harry replied and continued his tale of what Eddie told him in physics before the bell rang.

"Alright class today we are going to start with learning the different types of music. At the end of the year we will give a live performance to the types of music you are assigned to. For you exchange students this will be something new after all normally we would just jump into our instruments and practice unfortunately because of the vandalism last year with our instruments they will have to be replaced as soon as we have the new budget." She said and some of the students groaned at that. "So this year's performance will be on the different types of music and we will be joining with the other art classes for this family occasion soon enough." She said rather excitedly as she passed out the forms. "For those of you from Hogwarts this will apply to you the most unless you don't really want relatives coming," there were a few laughs at this and the wizarding kids all looked confused by this action. "Ok I want you to get into groups I don't care how many people in a group just get into groups." She said and the class ran into different groups.

It turns out that everyone pretty much picked a group but a few people included where Draco Malfoy (at first refused to join a bunch of Gryffindors but was forced too by the teacher) a few other Muggles and lastly Hakkai Hunter whom no one wants in their group. As the last of the stragglers moved into their groups (and staying clear of Kai) they began to discuss the topic they think they might have to perform when the bell rang.

The six boys already gathered for dinner at the cafeteria but Draco left to join Crabbe and Goyle for once leaving the Gryffindors to themselves. "So how was lesson today?" Hermione asked, "Horrid!" said Dean, "I mean we got put into a group and we have to play in front of the entire school and all the parents that are invited." And Hermione gasped, "You can't be serious I mean this is too early in the year," she said and Ron nodded, "Well we find out what we are playing tomorrow and the teacher said it is all on our own. We can ask her for help but she wants us to go to different groups and learn how to play!" Ron said panicking. "We don't even know any groups that know how to play," Harry said, "Do you even know what kind of music you are playing." Hermione asked and they shook their heads, "Well it could be an easy type or something very hard," she said, "Who knows," with that she then changed the subject to talk about Hogwarts homework.

"This is all your fault Weasley!" Draco complained as they walked out of the cafeteria with packs of ice for two of them. Harry was shaking his head in frustration, "My fault it was your fault for calling Hermione a Mudblood and nearly got us in trouble!" Ron nearly shouted. It was around 11 o'clock and the group was out well after curfew. They borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak to get to the kitchens and grab a few bags of ice for Ron and Draco whom now both supported various cuts scrapes and bruises from the scuffle they had earlier.

TIME TURNER ONE CRANK

Ron and Draco were glaring daggers at each other all throughout their study session. "Oh come off it do you honestly believe I wanted to be with you Gryffindors!" Draco said, "Well we don't want to be with a Slytherin like you!" replied Draco and the others made a move to stop them. Harry in the mean time was busy petting Hedwig as he already finished his assignments. The owl loved all the attention he was giving her while Pig was flying around the room as excited as ever. "Honestly Weasley between you, Potter and the Mudblood…." "HER NAME IS HERMIONE!" Ron shouted and then sacked Draco and both of them started to fight while Dean, Seamus and Neville tried to pry them apart. "Harry aren't you going to split them up?" asked Neville as he was holding his face after Ron accidentally gave him a right hook, "Let them go for ten minutes then we split them up," Harry said casting a silencing charm long before then.

PRESENT TIME

Harry shrugged figuring he'd wait ten minutes but they ended at seven with bloody noses and bruises everywhere. Luckily Harry did his potions homework on a healing potion so the fractured bones were fixed up but the rest of the injuries had to be done the Muggle way. So the three of them with Harry's cloak walked down to the kitchens which were on the first floor of the school. Thank goodness they used the cloaks as Harry had to explain the security camera's to them as they walked past them without making a sound.

On the way back however with both boys arguing Harry then heard something down the hall, "Quiet!" he whispered and covered their mouths. There it was again the strange noise from around the corner. Harry, Ron and Draco hid behind a group of lockers as two people walked down the hall. One of them was Headmaster Kee-Hong but the other person surprised them both.

It was Professor Snape

"……..Professor Snape I was beginning to worry," Headmaster Kee-Hong said as they past the spot the three boys were. "I assure you Headmaster Kee-Hong that we want what is best for our students," he said, "Yes well I assure you this is absolutely important or I would have used that owl that you gave me," he said and then they walked into the Headmaster's office.

Harry, Ron and Draco followed down the hall as quietly as they could under the invisibility cloak. When they reached the office they put their ears to the door and listened in.

"The reason why I called your school was to ask you a few questions regarding late bloomers," Kee-Hong said, "Late bloomers?" Professor Snape inquired, "Yes sir um where is your headmaster?" Kee-Hong asked and as on cue a popping noise was heard and Professor Dumbledore's voice filled the room. "Did I miss anything?" he asked, "No Headmaster Dumbledore we are just beginning," said Professor Snape as the boys could hear the chair being pulled back to allow someone to sit down.

"Well I call this meeting to discuss some matters concerning a student of ours," he said, "What has Potter done this time?" Snape demanded, "No, no it has nothing to do with Mr. Potter I assure you. Rather it has something to do with Ms. Hunter," he said and the boys gasped but quickly put their ears to the door again.

"Hunter? We have no student named Hunter?" said Professor Dumbledore, "No she is one of mine she has recently shown some traits that are more familiar with Wizarding folk," Kee-Hong said, "Such as?" Snape asked, "Well extending her nails into claws, things floating around, people suddenly finding themselves on fire or without clothing that sort of thing," he said and the two appeared to be surprised.

"Surely Mr. Kee-Hong if we had known this Hunter was one of ours we would have taken her at age eleven," Dumbledore explained, "I know Professor but this has not started till recently after that incident several days ago with Ms. Sarah Jefferson. Apparently she was picking a fight with Ms. Hunter who has a reputation as a psychopath when she and her friends found themselves covered in claw marks." Kee-Hong said, "Claw marks?" Professor Dumbledore asked, "Yes I appears that her nails have grown into claws I have watched myself as they revert back to their normal form," he said "The worse she gets is when her left arm burns," he said, "Burns?" asked Snape, "Yes she has a tattoo on her arm of a skull and a snake coming out of its mouth," he said and both wizards gasped, "That's bad isn't it?" Kee-Hong said. "Headmaster tell us all you know about Ms. Hunter," Dumbledore asked.

"Well her full name is Hakkai Seiryuu Hunter she was sent to us from the United States. The government feels that this is the last place where she can cause the least amount of harm. I was informed that she committed several murders including those of her own parents. Though I think they were all accidents it has caused a lot of mental strain on her psychic." Kee-Hong said and the trio could hear paper being pushed over and someone opening a file. "Hakkai was sent here for the reason of isolation. This school is the most isolated school anyone can get and it has the facilities to deal with someone of Kai's case but alas I am at a loss. Most student know to stay clear of Hakkai but I am afraid there are those who are willing to push their luck. Just recently that mark on her arm started to act funny. Several times she had to see the school nurse because it was showing signs of turning color and bleeding," he said,

"Bleeding?" Dumbledore's voice is now full of concern. "Yes she gets very agitated when that mark starts to bleed and cause a lot of pain for her. I think it tortures her to a point where she starts hallucinating," he said, "Hallucinating?" Snape asks, "She appears to get vision at any time of the day claims to see a man with red eyes and a snake around his feet. People bowing and kissing his feet wearing white masks and robes like this so called Deatheater cult you told me about," said Kee-Hong.

There was silence till finally Dumbledore spoke, "You said that she wears that mark on her left arm?" he asked and Kee-Hong nodded, "Yes I have seen it bleed a few times like it was a fresh tattoo. She has this wild look in her eyes every time it happens and lashes out at everyone so I am afraid I am at a loss." He said, "Well can we at least meet with this Hakkai so we can do something about her troubles," Dumbledore said, "I can see what I can do but so far the only thing helping her is that infernal noise she calls music." He said and they could hear chairs being moved and quickly got out of the way as the door opened. "Thank you all so much for coming I don't know what I would do if the need was not so dire," he said and Dumbledore nodded, "Indeed Headmaster we shall see what we can do in the mean time you are to let us know of any other things concerning young Miss Hunter." With that he and Professor Snape disappeared.

"Where have you been?" Dean complained as the trio returned to the room, "You would not believe this even if we told you," the trio replied.
