"Yusuke, Kurama, from now on I want the two of you to speak English. It would be very rude for us to speak in Japanese while in our allies' presence." Scolded Genkai as she and the rest of the household watched the two teens pick themselves up off the ground.

"Hey! How come you didn't fall over Grandma!" exclaimed Yusuke as he brushed his clothes off.

Genkai simple stared at him and said dryly, "I have impeccable balance you idiot."

Yusuke glared at her before he turned to the others in the house, rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, and said, "Ah, Hi, I bet you are wondering who we are. Well, my name is Ura…Yusuke Urameshi. I'm sixteen years old and I'll be joining the sixth years at Hogwarts this year."

Beside him, the English group watched as the rose hared young man bowed and added, "Hello, I'm Suuichi Minamino I'll also be joining the sixth years. But, since I find that English speakers have a hard time pronouncing my name correctly, you can call me by my nickname…"

"Kurama." Interrupted Yusuke with a grin as he wrapped an arm around the older fox demon.

Kurama glanced at his friend and leader and said with a tiny smile, "Yes, Kurama is what you can call me."

Behind Genkai, a very advanced man stepped forward and said with a welcoming smile, "Welcome Mr. Urameshi and Mr. Minamino! My name is Professor Albus Dumbledore. Welcome to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix! You're Master, Genkai, is one of our foreign members. She has heard of our trouble with keeping Defense Against the Dark Arts professors amazingly enough. She has graciously offered to take the job. Of course, one of the conditions was that the two of you needed to come with her. I am most pleased to accept you to my school. Now, allow me to introduce the other members of the Order…to my right is Professor Minerva McGonagall, your Transfiguration professor while at Hogwarts. To my left is Professor Serverus Snape. He will be your Potions professor. The young man standing behind the children is Mr. Remus Lupin. The woman with the bright pink hair is Nymphadora Tonks. She is an Auror for the Ministry of Magic. Both she and Mr. Lupin stay here all the time while the students are here. The black skinned man is Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt is also a member of our Order and is a Senior Auror. Now, the old man behind me near the curtains is ex-Auror Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. Don't mind him much. Lastly, the family of red heads is the Weasley clan. I'll start with the head of the family, Arthur Weasley. He works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department in the Ministry. Then we have Mrs. Weasley, Molly. She is a housewife. Their eldest son, William "Bill" Weasley; he works in Curses and Counter Curses at Gringotts Bank. Their second son, Charlie Weasley, works in Romania with dragons. The third child, Percival Weasley, I'm afraid isn't here because he's a bit misinformed and hasn't came back to us. Then we have Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's most recently of age children, the twins, Fred and George Weasley. They are the pranksters of the family. They plan to open a Joke Shop soon. Next we have Ronald Bilius Weasley. He'll be entering Hogwarts this year as a sixth year. Lastly, we have the only daughter of the clan. Her name is Ginerva Molly Weasley. She'll be entering her fifth year in Hogwarts this term."

Yusuke and Kurama roamed their eyes over them all and then at each other. Both knew this was going to be a bit difficult to work with since there were so many people, but they have had worst missions before.

Kurama and Yusuke bowed politely and said, "If we mess up any of your names, please forgive us. Now, I think Yusuke and I are supposed to go to a place called Diagon Alley to get our new supplies?"

Ginerva stepped up and asked shyly, "How is it you are wizards and yet you don't have any wands?"

"Ginny!" scolded her mother as she glanced at them in apology.

Genkai answered for them, "My students are disciples of the Eastern Magics. We do not have wands or spells like those magics of the Western World. Instead we use our magics to destroy demons, create wards, heal any physical wound, telepathy, and enhance our bodies normal limits as far as they can be stretched. Eastern Magus' are very traditional and like to use the teachings of Buddha to control our fates. We also work with our hands and don't rely on our magics to do things like heal wounds, levitate, disarm, knock unconscious, create things, and destroy them. We do all the work by hand. It teaches us humility and compassion. Most wizards in the Western World, no offence to those of you who are pureblooded, are snobby, evil, horrible people who can't do a thing without their magics. Those that are pureblooded in Japan are, while very traditional, are sedated and "down-to-earth" as it were because we don't use our magics for everything."

Kurama and Yusuke smiled at Ginny and Yusuke said, "What she said. We need to go and buy our wands. Grandma here made us study our butts off to be at sixth year level. Once at Hogwarts I think we're supposed to take something called O.W.L.s to see if we can actually JOIN year six though."

Kurama nodded and said, "Shouldn't we be off?"

Genkai reached out and grabbed both of their shirts and yanked hard.

"ITAI!" they cried out as they bumped roughly into each other and the ground.

"What was that for grandma?" protested Yusuke forgetting to use English.

Genkai whacked him on the head and said, "ENGLISH!

Yusuke glared evilly at her and tried again, "What was that for!"

"You two weren't coming. I've been waiting at the fireplace for three minutes. We're going to Floo to Diagon Alley. Understand? What is Floo?"

Yusuke closed his eyes and thought.

As he opened his eyes, he said, "Floo, or Floo Powder, is a means of travel in the wizarding world. It is a connection of over one thousand places and homes all across Europe. With the Floo Powder, a fireplace, and clearly spoken words, a witch or wizard can travel across thousands of miles in far less time than traveling by normal muggle (non-magical) means."

Kurama took over, "Floo Powder was created for those wizards who cannot apparate, or transport themselves with their own magics instantaneously from point A to point B. To use Floo, you need to speak very clearly and tuck in all your body limbs unless you accidentally exit the wrong fireplace."

The Order of the Phoenix was surprise at their detailed answers as Genkai nodded in approval and said, "Get to it then."

Yusuke sighed, took a handful of powder, stepped in, and said clearly, "Diagon Alley!"

In a flash of emerald fire, he was gone.

"Your turn fox."

Kurama nodded slightly, followed Yusuke's example and said clearly, "Diagon Alley."

Genkai turned towards the teachers and said, "I won't be needing any books for DADA. We'll be focusing more on physical DADA and how to use what Western Magus' call Wandless Magic."

Professor Snape snorted and said, "My dear Professor Genkai, wandless magics are impossible nowadays. At most, only one out of every twenty children can do even accidental wandless magic. How are you going to teach over three hundred students wandless magic successfully?"

Genkai smirked smugly and said as her entire body lit up with bright blue energy, "The same way I was taught and the same way I taught Yusuke and Kurama-physical exercise and a lot of hard work."

She stepped back a step or two before the fireplace and vanished with a soft POP.

The Order of the Phoenix all stared stupefied at the fireplace. No one, save Professor Dumbledor, had that kind of magical aura!

"Albus, her magical aura…shouldn't we have known about her? She's nearly as strong as you." Pointed out Minerva.

Dumbledor merely smiled and said, "I have a feeling this year is going to be just as interesting as the last five have been with Master Genkai here."

Meanwhile, in a little county there was a little city. Within that little city, lied a small neighborhood. Within the small neighborhood, lied a tiny house. In that tiny house, was a petite room. In that petite room, was an unnormal young man. This young man's name was Harry James Potter. He was fifteen, nearly sixteen years old. He hated summer holidays and couldn't wait to go back to school. Why is that you ask? He lives with his magical hating relatives, Uncle Vernon Arthurious Dursley, Aunt Petunia Daisy Evans-Dursley, and Cousin Dudley Vernon Dursley. Why does he live with these people? Good question! The answer to that is simple. When Harry was but a year old, a very dark and dangerous wizard, Lord Voldemort, killed his mother and father with the unblockable Avada Kedavra. When Voldemort's wand turned to him, something happened that caused him, little one-year-old Harry Potter, to live. He became famous that night and given the title of The-Boy-Who-Lived. He hated it. He hated it because he lost his family and was sentenced to live as a house elf. He wanted to talk to his friends, Hermione and Ron, badly. Unfortunately, Professor Dumbledore once again forbade him from receiving any letters from his friends because his hideout might be compromised. He was bored and depressed! To keep himself from thinking about what had happened last term, he started to do some easy Calisthenics to tire him out and mold his body. He had received a letter from Professor Dumbledore earlier this summer that told him that he could leave at midnight July 31st. He couldn't wait! That was only two days away. From here he was going to Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

He didn't want to go there though. It would remind him once again about whom he had lost. He sighed. It didn't matter what he thought though. All that mattered was that he, Dumbledore's Secret Weapon, was not be harmed.

Once again, he wished he could talk to someone about how he felt. But he couldn't. Everyone thought of him as his or her hero. Someone who was strong and never let bad things hit him hard. The only people who looked behind his mask fully, was his Hermione and surprisingly enough, Luna Lovegood.

He glanced at the alarm clock by his dingy bed. It read 3:04. With a surprised yawn, he closed his eyes in an attempt to go to sleep. Before he found his rest, a burst of fire appeared before him and left behind Fawkes.

"Fawkes! What are you doing here?" he asked shocked as he pulled off a letter that was written in Ron's messy scrawl.

He felt Fawkes land on his shoulder and smiled as the red phoenix started to sing. He felt a warmth grow within his heart and heard a voice he though he'd never hear again, Remember Harry, those that we love, never truly leave us because they are always with us in our hearts.

"Sirius." He whispered as he remembered the advice he received from his godfather when he was thirteen. It had been just after he and Hermione had rescued both Sirius and Buckbeak and he had wanted to go and live with the innocent Azkaban inmate.

He opened the letter and read.

Dear Harry,

You won't believe what I just found out! I had to steal Fawkes though to tell you. Mum's going to kill me when she finds out I've stolen Fawkes for something so "trivial as sending a letter".

We have a new DADA professor from Japan! Her name is Master Genkai! She has two students that will enter year 6 with us named Yusuke Urameshi and Suuichi Minamino AKA Kurama.

Apparently she's into physical DADA instead of books! Hermione's going to freak out! But I'm freaking because she said we've gotta EXERSICE! And not Quidditch exercise, real honest to good muggle exercise! I'm not exactly fat, but I'm not muggle "fit" either. I almost pity Malfoy. He'll die before the first class is over! HAHA

Anyways, something's funny about her though. If I didn't know any better, I'd say her magical aura is stronger than Dumbledore's! No joke! Her entire body was engulfed in this blue flaming aura. It was pretty, but eerie too. She said she was going to teach us Eastern Magics. She said that us Western Magus' rely too much on our magics to do things for us, that we've lost a lot of our magic potential or something to that extent.

Besides that, she seems kinda cool. She showed up Snape though! His face was the reddest I've ever seen it in all our time at Hogwarts!

Anyways, her two student's, Yusuke and Kurama, they are odd. I don't mean that they look weird, but they, I don't know, FEEL weird. You'll probably think I'm crazy, but after all the adventures we've been though, I've gotten a 6th sense about me now. They feel weird. Not evil necessarily, but weird as in we'd better watch ourselves around them.

I can't wait to see you in two days Harry! Hermione will be arriving tomorrow at noon. Don't worry; with O.W.L. scores coming in soon, she should let up awhile so we can celebrate your birthday! LOL

Your best mate,

Ron
