Chapter 2: Shopping's Done/Meet Malfoy
The two went to another store, getting their school books, and after they had their potion supplies, Yusuke sighed.
"We're gonna need to take a second trip. We still need our animals and our robes."
He looked at Koenma. "You gonna be okay?"
Koenma seemed a bit out of breath. Yusuke wondered if they were walking too much.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Let's just go."
------
After they had dropped off their stuff at a room at the Leaky Cauldron, they came back to Diagon Alley, heading toward the animal store.
As they entered, Yusuke blinked. "Whoa. That's a lot of animals."
There were ravens, owls, mice, rats, cats, and a lot of other animals they couldn't recognize. Yusuke shrugged.
"Koenma, I've already got an animal, I don't need to buy one."
Koenma frowned. "You do?"
"Yeah. Puu. I can call him here, I think."
"I'd like to see you do that. C'mon, let's go outside."
They left the store, and Yusuke concentrated on his Spirit Energy.
'C'mon, little buddy, you can find me.'
They heard a high-pitched squeal, and Yusuke turned to see Puu sitting on the roof of the animal store. (A:N: I'm pretty sure they can't do this, but we can defy the YuYu rules here for now.)
"Hey, boy, c'mon down."
Puu flew down into Yusuke's arms, chirping happily.
"I can teach him to send letters, and you can use him too. After all, that's whatour letters said the owls are for. To send letters."
Koenma nodded. "Okay. Now all there's left is robes. Let's go."
They walked for a few minutes in silence, Yusuke attracting some unwanted attention from Puu sitting in his arms, but he didn't care. Then he brightened.
"There's the store." Yusuke walked up to the door, but heard someone fall and someone laughing.
"Idiot can't even walk!"
Yusuke turned around to see a blonde boy laughing, and Koenma on the ground. Yusuke growled. "Shut up, kid."
The boy stopped laughing and looked over at Yusuke.
"You his friend? Teach him to walk, already."
Koenma stood up slowly, a light blush taking over his face. Yusuke's eyes narrowed.
"Leave him alone."
"Make me, and that's your animal? What is that thing? It looks sick."
Puu squealed angrily, making the boy laugh again.
"Pathetic. All three of you. I trip him, he falls, I insult you, the bird squeaks, what'll happen if I do this?"
He walked over to Koenma and stomped on his foot. Koenma bit his lip, shaking with the effort of continuing to stand. Yusuke growled again, fully ready to Spirit Gun the kid.
"Malfoy! Cut that out!"
The boy looked over his shoulder to see three other teens, two boys, one girl, approaching.
"What would you care?" Malfoy snapped. "They're obviously new, you don't know how pathetic they are. Look at that animal!"
Puu flew out of Yusuke's arms and started beating Malfoy on the head with his long ears. The three other teens laughed, with Yusuke and Koenma staring in shock.
Malfoy batted Puu away, and glowered at Yusuke.
"You will pay for that, you and your pathetic animal," he hissed, striding off.
Yusuke took Puu in his arms again and turned to Koenma. "You okay?"
Koenma took a shaky breath. "Yeah."
"What did he do?" they heard a voice say. They turned to see the three teens standing next to them. The girl had been the one who had spoken.
"Nothing big, just insulted us," Yusuke said, shrugging. "Me, my friend, and my little buddy here."
The girl rolled her eyes, while the two boys chuckled.
"Just insulted?" the red-haired boy asked. "He tries to use his wand at school."
Koenma sighed. "I'm dead. He hates me already."
The red-haired boy shook his head sympathetically. "Good luck, mate."
"Ron!" the black-haired boy said exasperatedly. "You can't just say that."
"And why not? He hates us too!" Ron complained.
"So, he hates everybody?" Yusuke asked. The black-haired kid faced him.
"Basically. Everybody that's not in his House."
Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "House?"
"When you get to Hogwarts, you get sorted into houses. There's Gryffendor, where we are, Slytherin, where he is, Hufflepuff, for the hardworking kids, and Ravenclaw, where the smart kids go. You'll see the rest when you get there."
Yusuke nodded. "Okay. See you guys later."
The five said their goodbyes and left, Yusuke and Koenma entering the shop, the three other teens going who knows where.
-----------------------------
When they were done getting their robes, Yusuke and Koenma walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, glad to be done shopping.
They entered their room, Koenma flopping down onto one of the two beds. He sighed happily, glad to be off his foot.
Yusuke sat down on the other bed, letting go of Puu, who decided to sit on Yusuke's head.
"Koenma? You're going to be okay, right?"
"For now, yes. But if people keep doing that to me, and if I have to walk a lot, it's not going to get better."
Yusuke sighed, lying down on his back, making Puu jump off his head. Puu fluttered around for a few moments before settling down on Yusuke's chest.
Koenma lay on his side, closing his eyes. After a few minutes, Yusuke and Koenma had both fallen asleep.
