YYF14: Hey, had a bit of writer's block, but here's the chapter. Pretty long, too. It was hard finding a reasonable place to stop. But whatever. Disclaimer:

Yusuke-clone: If she owned YYH, it would still be on TV. If she owned HP, she wouldn't be writing fanfiction.

YYF14: . . . First part true, second part not. R&R, peoples!

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

As Yusuke and Koenma left the moving staircase area, Koenma put his headband on and put his pacifier in his pocket.

"Do you think it was a good idea to tell them about all that?" Koenma asked.

Yusuke shrugged.

"I dunno, as long as we don't tell them about that, I think we're fine. I didn't tell them about the Christmas thing with Sensui, either. So basically, we're one half-demon and one spiritual being who've been through more than their fair share of fights to them."

"Yeah… c'mon, let's get to bed. I'm tired."

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

The next morning, Yusuke woke Koenma early, before the rest of the boys were up.

"Yu-chan, what is it? 'S too early to talk…"

"Well, sorry, but we need to talk."

Koenma sat up, staring curiously at Yusuke, who was sitting on the end of his bed.

"About what?"

"Divination yesterday. What you saw."

Koenma hesitated. "I don't know, Yu-chan… I don't want to talk about it."

"Please, K-chan."

"…It was about you. I… hit you."

"You're sure?"

Koenma nodded. "Yes, Yu-chan. Very sure."

"Well, let's just cross our fingers and hope that doesn't happen. You can go back to bed if you want to. We have two hours before breakfast."

Koenma and lay back down.

"Two hours. Night."

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

Two hours later, the Gryffindors trooped down to breakfast. At the Gryffindor table, Yusuke set a plate of eggs in front of Koenma.

"Try to eat, okay?" he asked softly.

Koenma nodded, and began to eat. A few seconds later, though, the mail arrived, distracting everyone.

Yusuke spotted Puu and blinked.

"Who would send me mail?" he asked softly. Then he heard laughing from the Slytherin table and looked over.

Malfoy and his friends were pointing at Puu and laughing. Puu was having a hard time carrying a letter and flying at the same time, and it annoyed Yusuke that Malfoy had to make such a big deal of it.

He caught Puu, taking the letter from him, and gave him some bacon, making Puu squeal in delight. "Koenma… it's a letter from my mom."

Koenma looked over. "Why would she send you a letter?"

"I dunno." Yusuke opened the letter and skimmed through the letter.

"She's pissed at me for going to a school in another country without telling her, but she's also happy that I'm going to school at all. What a mother."

"Yusuke, who'd you get a letter from?"

Yusuke looked up, seeing Harry gazing at his letter with interest.

"My mom. I'd give it to you, but you can't read kanji. She's basically saying she's mad for me not telling her that I'm going to school in another country, but she's happy I'm going to school at all."

"Strange."

"Yeah. Whatever. Puu, you can go back to the Owlery now."

Puu chirped happily, then flapped his ears and flew out the window. Yusuke smiled, staring after him.

"Silly little guy."

September first had been on a Wednesday, and it was the third, making it a Friday. Yusuke was very happy about this.

As he was planning what to do that afternoon, Fred and George Weasly sat across the table from him and Koenma.

"Hello, I'm Fred, and this is George. We're Ron's brothers," Fred said cheerfully, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you."

Yusuke shook his hand. "Hey. I'm Yusuke, and this is Koenma."

"Nice to meet you," Koenma said softly.

George turned to Harry.

"Harry, McGonagall wanted us to tell you: the new kids are going to have their first flying lesson this afternoon."

Yusuke and Koenma exchanged glances.

"Flying?" they repeated.

George nodded. "Yeah. Flying. It's really easy, don't worry. And if you're good at it, you could get on the team, since you're not in first year."

Yusuke shrugged. "Maybe."

"Cool. Meet us at the Quidditch pitch this afternoon after classes. Harry, you come too."

Harry nodded. "Okay."

Fred and George then left, and Ron turned to Harry.

"So Harry, you talked with Dumbledore yesterday with the new kids," he said quietly.

"What happened?"

"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone, okay?"

Ron and Hermione both nodded. Harry then began to explain about the new students. As he had expected, they were surprised and shocked at the things Harry told them.

"That's really weird, Harry," Ron said softly. "He really died twice?"

"Yeah. They told us almost everything, they said. There was one thing they wouldn't tell us. Yusuke said it was a secret."

Hermione got a thoughtful look on her face.

"I wonder what it could be?" she wondered.

Ron shook his head. "They'll probably tell us when they're ready, Hermione. But Harry, are you sure about Koenma? That he had that pacifier thing?"

"Yes, Ron."

"Wow. Do you think he'd show us?"

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ron, it's not that big a deal."

"Whatever."

Yusuke leaned over. "Everyone's leaving, guys. I think we have to go to classes now."

Harry nodded. "Okay. C'mon, Ron, Hermione."

As they left the Great Hall, they saw Malfoy waiting for them.

"Hello, Potter," he said softly. "Still hanging around with the new kids? They're Mudbloods, both of them."

Harry glared at him. "Shut up, Malfoy."

"Why should I? They obviously can't defend themselves."

He walked over to Koenma and shoved him, knocking him down.

"You see, Potter? And that was without magic."

Malfoy walked off, leaving Yusuke and Harry very angry. But he didn't notice. He was thinking about that kid he had shoved. The kid had seemed pretty skinny. He wondered why. Then he shook his head. It was a Gryffindor, why should he care? No matter, he had to get to Potions before Snape got impatient.

"Harry, what class do we have? I don't think we have the same schedule for each day of the week," Yusuke said, helping Koenma up.

"We have Transfiguration. Thank goodness Malfoy doesn't have it with us," Hermione answered.

The five of them hurried to McGonagall's class and took their seats, glad to see the teacher wasn't there yet, as well as half the class.

About half a minute later, Professor McGonagall and the rest of the class entered the room. Koenma and Yusuke took their wands out and put them on their desks, as they expected to use them in this class.

"Good morning, class, today we will be learning how to turn a turtle into a teapot."

Yusuke and Koenma exchanged glances. Interesting…

------

After Transfiguration, Yusuke and Koenma had Charms with Harry and Ron. Hermione had Ancient Runes.

Professor Flitwick had surprised the two new students. He was even smaller than Hiei!

In Charms, they learned the Wingardium Leviosa, Alohamora, and Lumos. It was a refresher class, so the rest of the class was bored, but it was a challenge to Yusuke and Koenma.

Yusuke had trouble learning Wingardium Leviosa, but Alohamora and Lumos came to him easily. Koenma, however, learned all three quickly, making Flitwick very proud.

-----

After Charms, they had lunch. Koenma ate lunch, and told Yusuke that he hadn't gotten a headache earlier. Yusuke was relieved, and the two had a conversation about what their friends might be doing.

They then had History of Magic and DAtDA, both classes giving them lectures. DAtDA had a more interesting one, though, as it was about werewolves, and the History of Magic one was about the Hag Rights Movement of some year Yusuke didn't remember.

After dinner, Harry led Yusuke and Koenma outside to the Quidditch pitch. Fred and George were already there with two brooms for Yusuke and Koenma to use, each carrying their own. Harry had brought his own broom as well.

"Okay. Flying is pretty simple. First, put the broom on the ground, put your writing hand over it, and say 'up'."

Yusuke and Koenma did as they were told, but Koenma got his to come up, while Yusuke's continued to lie on the ground.

"You're being too forceful," Fred commented. "Try to be more polite."

Yusuke rolled his eyes, but Fred's idea worked, so he wouldn't complain.

"Next, got on the broom and push off gently," George instructed.

Yusuke pushed off, going about twenty feet in the air. George stared.

"That's gently?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Yusuke nodded.

"Pretty much."

"Good grief… Koenma, you try."

Koenma pushed off, going about five feet up.

"That's it. Now, to steer, you lean in the direction you want to go," George said, he, Fred and Harry getting onto their own brooms.

Yusuke leaned forward, starting out slow, but gaining speed. George sighed.

"Harry, watch that one. He's going to hurt himself."

Harry nodded, watching Yusuke closely as Yusuke flew around the pitch. Koenma was going slowly around a small area, getting used to steering.

Yusuke flew close to Koenma and stopped.

"C'mon, Koenma, go faster! It's fun!" he said, going higher.

"Yusuke… wait up!" Koenma followed him, making the Weasly twins groan.

"Perfect pair, that," George muttered. Harry blinked.

"Pair, George?"

George frowned. "Yeah, just like me and Fred. Troublemakers, I mean, Harry. Geez."

Fred looked at George curiously. "Did Harry have a naughty thought?"

Harry blushed. "Shut up! I didn't mean that!"

"Sure you didn't. About the new kids, right?"

"…No comment."

"Oh, Harry… Wanna race?"

"Sure!"

As Harry raced the Weasly twins, his mind continued to ponder what George had said. Of course George hadn't meant exactly what he said, but the way the two new students had been acting around each other, it was a possibility… Harry decided to tell Ron about it that night. He had to get someone else's opinion.
