YYF14: Relooking at the review I responded to, I realize what the person meant. Gryffindor, not Gryffendor. I'll make sure to start doing that. I thought it didn't look right. Anyways, in this chapter, the guys have Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, and Divination. The rest of the gang will be cleared up as well. Hope you guys like this chapter!

Both clones: Happy reading!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Welcome back to Herbology," Professor Sprout said, a little too loudly. "Today we will repotted Mandrakes. I got some new ones, since the ones you did in second year died. Take your earmuffs, and get to work."

"What are we doing?" Yusuke asked quietly. "She didn't explain it."

"Just put on the earmuffs and watch Harry," Hermione instructed.

Harry pulled the Mandrake from the pot, the plant wriggling and apparently screaming at the top of its lungs. Yusuke and Koenma blinked. This wasn't something you saw every day…

Everyone was glad when Herbology ended. The Gryffindors and the Ravenclaws, who had had it together, trouped up to the Great Hall, complaining to each other about the Mandrake job.

Harry reminded himself to watch Koenma at lunch. If he didn't eat, then Harry would be worried. Defense Against the Dark Arts and Herbology were relatively hard classes.

The noise in the Great Hall was almost deafening, as everyone was talking at once about their classes. Well, almost everyone. Harry wasn't, and Koenma wasn't, either.

"Harry? Are you okay?"

Harry looked over at Hermione. She seemed concerned. He shook his head, still not sure about telling his friends.

"It's nothing."

"Oh, c'mon Harry, you've been staring at the new kids every meal," Ron insisted.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing!"

Ron rolled his eyes. "Yeah. You staring at something means nothing's wrong."

"...I don't want to talk about it."

"Aha! You admit there's something wrong!"

"…Okay, I'll tell you, but you've got to promise you won't tell anyone."

"I swear."

Harry leaned close to his friends. "At every single meal, Koenma hasn't eaten a thing. Not even on the train. There's something up."

Hermione blinked. "Are you serious? I never noticed."

Harry nodded. "Yeah, and this morning, I heard him and his friend talking. I don't think they knew I was awake. I can't speak Japanese, but it seemed like Yusuke was talking about something serious."

"Did you remember a word he said? I don't know Japanese, but I could look it up in the library," Hermione offered.

Harry thought for a moment. "I think he said something like… 'otousan'."

Hermione nodded. "Okay, I can work with that. We have an hour after classes before bed, right? I'll go to the library and look at the Japanese books."

"Thanks, Hermione."

------

After lunch, Harry had Care of Magical Creatures with Ron, Yusuke, and Koenma.

"Gather roun', gather roun'," Hagrid was saying loudly. "See what we've got here!"

Tied to a tree on the edge of the forest stood a unicorn.

"Hagrid, is that a real unicorn?" Harry asked.

Hagrid nodded proudly.

"Yup. She's a beut', isn't she? Well gather roun', everyone. I'm goin' ter be explaining how teh handle a unicorn."

Yusuke and Koenma were surprised. A real live unicorn! Definitely something you didn't see everyday.

"Okay, first off, yeh gotta be gentle. Second, a unicorn can sense if yer soul's pure or not, so be careful, or she could kick yeh."

Yusuke and Koenma exchange glances. What exactly defined 'pure'?

"If yeh wanna try and touch it, walk up real slow. Tha's righ', Lavender! Just like that!"

Lavender approached the unicorn slowly, extending her hand. The unicorn didn't shy away, allowing Lavender to lay her hand on its nose.

Hagrid beamed. "Well done! Anyone else want ter try? What 'bout you two new students?"

Yusuke shook his head. "No thanks."

"Are yeh sure?"

Koenma put a hand on Yusuke's shoulder.

"I think you should at least try, but be on your guard."

Yusuke nodded. "'Kay."

He slowly approached the unicorn, but the unicorn backed away from his hand. Malfoy and the other Slytherins they were having the class with laughed.

Yusuke turned away, feeling slightly disappointed.

"You wanna try?" he asked Koenma softly.

Koenma thought for a moment. "Maybe. After all, you've killed more demons than I have, definitely."

"Aw, shut up and go," Yusuke muttered, but he was smiling.

As Koenma approached the unicorn, the unicorn stayed put. But just as Koenma's hand touched its flank, it squealed and jumped back, pulling at the tether on its head.

Koenma backed away quickly, causing the Slytherins to restart their laughter. Yusuke growled, tempted more and more to just Spirit Gun the lot to get rid of their problems.

Hagrid rushed over to try and calm the unicorn, and Koenma returned to stand next to Yusuke.

Harry was confused. The two new students seemed nice enough. What was wrong with them that the unicorn noticed?

For the rest of the class, some of the other Gryffindor girls pet the unicorn as Hagrid babbled on about facts about unicorns, sometimes asking questions that only Hermione could answer. Malfoy sauntered over to Yusuke and Koenma, seeming bored.

"So, what'd you do to make that unicorn hate you?" Malfoy asked softly.

Yusuke ignored him.

"Did you kill someone? What about your friend?"

That did it. Yusuke didn't care about what would happen to him, he just wanted to kill Malfoy. He started to power up his Spirit Gun, a bright blue light appearing around his index finger.

Malfoy's eyes widened, surprised.

"What the heck are you doing?" he hissed. "That's not normal!"

Koenma looked at Yusuke. Yusuke was actually going to use his Spirit Gun!

"Yusuke, no!" he whispered. "What are you thinking? We can get in big trouble!"

"But he's being a pain-"

"I don't care! Please, you can blow off some steam later, but not in the middle of class!"

Yusuke's eyes narrowed, but the light disappeared. Malfoy scurried away, and the bell rang, echoing over the grounds.

Harry, who had no clue of what went on between Yusuke and Malfoy, walked over to them.

"Okay, guys, next we have Divination with Ron."

Yusuke nodded, him and Koenma following Harry inside to meet up with Ron.

------

"Welcome back to Divination," Professor Trelawny said in her breathy voice. "Today, we will be practicing using the crystal ball to see into the future."

Harry and Ron turned to face their friends.

"Don't listen to a word she says," Ron whispered. "It's a load of junk."

Yusuke chuckled. He had expected that. He wouldn't have believed the teacher anyway. He didn't believe in seeing the future like psychics tried to do.

Professor Trelawny handed out the crystal balls, and instructed everyone to get to work. Yusuke stared into his, his eyes becoming unfocused. Ron and Harry pretended to look into theirs, starting a quiet conversation about Quidditch. Koenma actually tried to see something, but all he saw was swirling white. Then suddenly, an image started to appear…

He saw swirls of black and red, mixed with the feelings of loneliness, pain, misery, and the strange thought of not being to control your own actions. Confusion was added, then a clear picture presented itself. In the picture, there was himself, and Yusuke, with other people with clouded faces.

The Koenma in the picture had clouded eyes and a blank look on his face. Then the Koenma held up a hand and struck the picture Yusuke.

This couldn't happen! Koenma was confused, and wanted to get back to real life. Suddenly the picture disappeared, and he was aware of everything around him again.

Harry frowned, noticing the look of surprise on Koenma's face.

"You okay?"

Koenma nodded, staring at the crystal ball in shock. Would he really do that?

"I think so."

Professor Trelawny walked over to their table, and, noticing the look on Koenma's face, decided to inquire about their progress.

"Did you see something?" she asked Koenma. He nodded.

"Well, what was it?"

"I… don't want to talk about it."

Yusuke, now out of his stupor, looked at Koenma, concerned.

"You okay?" he asked in Japanese. "What did you see?"

Koenma shook his head, repeating that he didn't want to talk about it.

"Okay, but I want to talk about it later," Yusuke replied, turning back to his own crystal ball, not really caring if he saw anything or not.

----------

After classes were over, Yusuke and Koenma headed outside to sit by the lake. They had just had History of Magic, which they had both thought was boring, and dinner, which Koenma didn't eat.

"Okay, you wanna call the guys and see what's up?" Yusuke asked, taking the communicator out of his pocket.

Koenma nodded, and Yusuke opened the compact, Botan's face appearing after a few seconds.

"Oh, hello Yusuke, Koenma. How are things going?"

"Pretty good," Yusuke replied. "You?"

"Well, Koenma's father had a bit of a hard time today. He can't remember a thing since Christmas, and he was shocked when I explained it to him."

Koenma frowned but said nothing.

"Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara have been informed about your whereabouts. Kuwabara is jealous, Yusuke, but I doubt he has magical talent."

Yusuke shrugged, a smile on his face.

"Kurama and Hiei are disappointed that they lost their best fighter. Human fighter, anyway. That's what Hiei said. Oh, and Koenma? Hiei isn't glad that he has to get briefings from an oni, but he says he doesn't miss 'the toddler'."

Koenma shook his head. "That's all right. We have some free time now, and Yusuke really wants to blow off some steam. We just called to see how everything was doing."

"Okay. I'll see you two later, then."

"Bye, Botan." Yusuke closed the compact, put it in his pocket, and turned to Koenma.

"Can we go blow off some steam now?"

Koenma nodded. "Sure. Let's go in the forest for a little."
