YYF14: Okay, so I DID get another chapter in. Yay! Anyway, I only got Care of Magical Creatures (CoMC) in this chapter, because their was another issue that popped up that I decided should end this chapter. Anyway, I hope you guys like this chapter, and I promise Transfiguration will be in the next one. Not like it's a huge deal, but... Oh! One last thing! I did research before I wrote this chapter! See, in CoMC, they have this creature that I knew NOTHING about, so I researched it, and I'm happy with how it turned out. The creature is one that I mentioned last YYH/HP crossover, so.. might as well read.
As they left the room, Yusuke was in a slight daze. He couldn't remember the last time he got a good grade. Especially in a class he had never heard of before.
"You're really lucky," Harry told him. "The first time I had Potions, I got Snape to hate me without doing anything."
Yusuke shrugged. "Okay, I was lucky. Great. I don't want to really think about that class much. What class do we have next?" Yusuke didn't want to think about the class because they had it with Malfoy, and Malfoy was a bigger jerk than Toguro in some ways… Okay, that could have been exaggerated, but… Whatever.
"Care of Magical Creatures," Ron said, reading off of his schedule.
"Who teaches it?" Yusuke asked.
"Hagrid. Thank goodness," Hermione said. "We have so much to tell him about this summer, and you guys have to get to know him better, he's so nice."
When the group reached Hagrid's house, there already was a crowd of people trying to get a look at something.
"Hagrid, what have you got this time?" Harry asked, the group coming over to the rest of the crowd.
"I got meself some Kappas," Hagrid said proudly. "See?" He pointed to a large container filled with strange animals.
They looked like monkeys, except they had scales, and a hollow in their head containing water. There were five of them.
"What's a Kappa?" Yusuke asked, staring at one of the creatures.
"It's a Japanese water demon," Hermione answered. "Yusuke, I would think that you would know about your own country's animals."
"Well, I didn't know it existed," Yusuke said, annoyed. "I don't think anyone who didn't know this stuff would."
"Is there anything interesting about Kappas?" Koenma asked Hermione.
"Well, they feed on human blood…" Once she had said that, half of the students backed away from the container. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued.
"To stop them from hurting you, you have to make them bow to you. If they bow, then the water falls out of their head and it will be helpless. Usually you have to be really clever to make them bow."
Koenma looked interestedly at the container and went closer, much to the surprise of many of the students. He sat in front of one of the Kappas and looked at it. The rest of the students watched him, confused.
"If he knows that they eat human blood, then why is he going closer to it?" Ron muttered. "If that was me, I'd be getting as far as I could away from them."
Yusuke smiled. This'll be interesting…
The Kappa and Koenma watched each other for almost a minute, then the rest of the Kappas came over as well. All of the other students were a safe distance away from the container, and were at a complete loss as to why he would be that close to that many creatures.
Then, after another minute, the Kappas finally made a motion, making some of the students flinch- (they were having CoMC with second year Huffelpuffs.)
However, they didn't make a hostile motion. As one, the Kappas bowed, the water spilling out of the hollows on their heads. Everyone looked on, shocked. Koenma got up, bowed slightly at the Kappas, and returned to his place next to Yusuke.
"How'd you do that?" Ron asked incredulously. "I thought you had to do something to make them bow! All you did was sit there!"
Koenma shook his head. "I don't know what I did. I was just watching it to see what it would do, and then they all just bowed."
"But why'd you bow back?"
"It seemed like the polite thing to do."
After everyone had finished looking at the Kappas, Hagrid started to talk about them, giving more information than Hermione had. She, of course, was hanging onto his every word, adding something in if she knew what he was talking about.
Back with Yusuke, Koenma, Harry, and Ron, the latter two were completely ignoring the class, talking about something Yusuke didn't care about. He was talking to Koenma about something else. However, since they were sitting right next to Harry and Ron, they were using the link to talk.
-So, Koenma, what was all that about with the Kappa things?-
-Well, as I said, I was just watching them to see what they would do. I'm not human, so I wanted to know how they would react. I wasn't expecting them to bow to me.-
-Hmm… well, d'you think that it was because you're a god that they did?-
-Maybe. I don't know.-
The two sat in silence for a minute, then Yusuke brought up another subject.
-Koenma, Puu woke me up this morning with the same thing as last night. Be honest. Are you feeling okay, or is he just going crazy?-
-I feel fine, Yusuke. I don't know why Puu is worrying, but maybe it's something that isn't obvious, or maybe it has to do with magic and we wouldn't know about it anyway.-
Yusuke stayed silent for a moment, then blinked. He had heard a bit of Harry and Ron's conversation, as they weren't whispering, only talking quietly.
-Koenma… we might have a problem.-
-Why?-
-Because… Harry and Ron are talking to each other, and I heard them suggesting that you're not human. If they ask…-
-We can just make something up, Yusuke. It'll be okay.-
-…Yeah, I guess I just feel lousy about lying to our friends. We haven't known them for a long time, and, well… you know what I'm saying.-
-Yeah, I know.- Suddenly, just as the bell rang, a very strange energy came from Yusuke, startling Koenma.
"Yusuke? Are you okay-?"
Yusuke ignored him.
"Yusuke-"
"Shut up!" Yusuke shoved Koenma out of the way and headed off towards the castle.
Koenma winced and gazed at Yusuke, confused and hurt. Yusuke had hit the bruise on his chest, and it still hurt. Yusuke had known it was there...Yusuke, why…?
-----
Voldemort growled. Controlling this body was harder than he thought. He wasn't sure whether it was the boy or if the spell wasn't working right. He couldn't control the boy completely, and the boy had lashed out at his friend because of the confusion. He had to work on this spell.
He deactivated the current possession, in a foul mood. He would try again later.
-----
Yusuke stopped as soon as he entered the castle. He was getting a piercing headache.
"What… the hell…"
His friends entered and came up to him.
"Yusuke, what happened out there?" Harry asked. "You weren't acting yourself."
Yusuke looked at Harry, confused. "What happened? I don't remember."
"Koenma was talking to you, and then you got really angry and shoved him," Ron said.
Yusuke's eyes widened. "Are you serious? Where is he?"
"I… I think he's still out there," Ron answered, startled by Yusuke's reaction.
As Yusuke left, he called after him to hurry up because their next class would start soon and they didn't want to be late.
Yusuke ran back down to Hagrid's where Koenma was still standing.
"Koenma, what's wrong?" Yusuke asked, worried.
Koenma looked up at him, a hurt look on his face. "Oh, now you care?"
"I don't know what happened! I'm sorry!"
"Yeah, you keep saying that…" Koenma headed off toward the castle, Yusuke right behind him.
"Yes, I keep saying it because it's true! Something happened, and I didn't feel like myself! C'mon, Koenma, you have to believe me!"
Koenma stayed silent, and Yusuke gave up. He had screwed up big time and now he was paying for it.
YYF14: Okay, I hope you guys liked this chapter. Seems Puu was smart, earlier...( D Anyway, I'll get up the next chapter HOPEFULLY tomorrow, so... see you when I see you and review if you wish!
