(A.N. Alright this is the last chapter before Hogwarts, I know I have been doing a lot of blah blah chapters, but I felt it necessary in order to get a better understanding of the OCs, but have no fear after this chapter the story will start to pick up the pace. Anyway, this chapter introduces one more OC, and thanks to this particular OC I will be increasing the rating. Why? Well when you'll meet you will understand.

(Disclaimer, a.k.a. That thing that is needed for legal purposes, don't own Harry Potter, or my little bit of anime elements)

There was still a few hours before the train would reach Hogwarts, and Harry (with Kyuubi once again hiding in his jacket) found himself wandering the train. Walking down the train, he would occasionally look at what others were doing in their compartments and found himself growing more pissed at how happy they all were. Ever since people had found out his name, they would constantly come to the compartment he was in and ask him a load of questions.

"What's it like being famous?"

"It sucks so far."

"Why is your scar shaped like a lightning bolt?"

"I don't know."

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Sorry, no."

"What do you think happened to you-know-who?"

"I really don't care."

"Are you rich?"

"Seems that way."

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Where is a pen?"

"Who are these people?"

"My friends, who else?"

"Is the Hokey-Pokey really what it's all about?"

"…"

After that last question, Harry got up and excused himself saying that he was going to use the restroom. No one in the compartment seemed to notice that he took Kyuubi with him.

He wasn't really, angry at the people for being happy, just that they were able to enjoy their trip to Hogwarts in peace. Continuing to walk without any real destination, Harry was stopped when Kyuubi's little voice squeaked out. "Harry, someone is crying up ahead."

Curiosity getting the better of him, Harry walked much slower than he had been and looked into every compartment until he saw who was crying. He couldn't see much since her hands were covering her face, but from what he could see, she was about 5'7 with shoulder length blue hair. Looking around the compartment, he noticed she was alone. Slowly, Harry approached the door and opened it.

Not bothering to see who opened the door she yelled. "Go away Michael, I think you said enough."

Harry wasn't sure what to do, but he didn't want her to think he was this Michael person. "I'm sorry; I just saw you crying and wanted to make sure you were ok."

The girl looked up at Harry, giving him a good view of her face. Her eyes were a light blue, and her cheeks were puffy and tear stained. Slowly he entered the compartment and sat opposite of her. The girl wasn't sure what to do, at first she wanted to yell and tell the kid to sod off, but she also didn't want to stay in the compartment and wallow in her depression alone.

Regaining her composure, she quietly asked. "What are you doing here? Don't you have friends to go and play with?"

"I do, but at the moment, I think they can occupy themselves, besides I left the compartment I was in earlier cause people kept bugging me." Harry said as he looked at the girl, she seemed much calmer now.

The young woman was really confused now. 'Why would people bother him?' Feeling that the only way to get an answer was to ask, she voiced her thoughts. "Why would people bother a little first year like you?"

Ignoring the jab at his height Harry was about to answer when the compartment door opened up. Standing at the door was a young man around the same age as the girl. He had dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and stood to be a few inches taller than the girl in front of him. The young man glanced at Harry, before looking at the girl with an evil smirk.

"Are you really so loose that you would seduce a first year, Nymphadora?" he sneered.

The girl, Nymphadora, looked torn between being angry and hurt. "Shut up Michael. Why can't you just leave me alone?"

The boy, who was called Michael was about to respond when Harry interrupted. "If you must know Miss. Nymphadora and I were having a nice quiet conversation about what Hogwarts is like. And since she doesn't seem to like you being here why not do us all a favor and leave."

The boy looked shocked, but quickly became outraged. How could a first year say something like that to him? He thought. Quickly recovering, he put on the same evil smirk that seemed to be glued to his face. Walking up to Harry, he grabbed Harry by the front of his jacket and lifted him off the chair.

"You got a lot of nerve talking to me like that you little bastard!" He started. "You have any idea who you're dealing with?"

"Yes, a moron, that can't seem to understand when he is not wanted." Harry stated in a calm voice matching Michael's glare.

"For your information, I am a seventh year prefect and head boy of Ravenclaw house. I could give you detentions for the rest of the year, or hex you into next week, but I think a little physical discipline is more appropriate." Michael said as he pulled his fist back.

The girl known as Nymphadora was about to intervene when Michael suddenly let go of Harry, clutching his thumb. Looking closely at Michael's thumb she saw what appeared to be teeth marks, before they were covered by blood. Looking back at Harry she saw an animals head poking out of Harry's zipped up jacket. The creature's head resembled that of a fox with rabbit ears.

Harry unzipped his jacket and freed Kyuubi. The boy, Michael, had been starting to make him angry and he could feel the electricity from his element start to stir within him. 'Had Kyuubi not bitten that prat's thumb I would have probably shocked him into next week.' Harry thought as he looked down at Kyuubi.

"Kyuubi how big do you think you can grow to in these tight quarters?" Harry asked the nontile.

"Big enough to maul his face off." Kyuubi answered in a voice that Harry had never heard before. It wasn't the high pitched fast tone that Kyuubi normally spoke in; it was a dark tone, and evil tone. The tone of Kyuubi's voice sounded completely demonic to Harry.

Jumping down to the ground Kyuubi started to grow to a larger size. Soon Kyuubi filled the entire compartment with his impressive length. Wanting to scare the boy that threatened his master, Kyuubi pushed the limits of his growth and was at his full height, with his twin tails pointing up in the air to allow him a more comfortable, yet intimidating appearance.

Michael's face paled as he looked at the size of Kyuubi, he had seen many large predators before in his Care of Magical Creatures class, but never one that looked, felt, and sounded as intimidating as the one facing him. Kyuubi bared his fangs and let out a low growl, his blood red eyes focused on the boy in front of him. Crouching down, Kyuubi appeared like he was ready to pounce, and Michael, fearing for his life ran fast and hard, away from the compartment, leaving a distinct smell of urine in his wake.

Kyuubi, seeing that the boy had left went back to his miniature size and returned to Harry's lap. Nymphadora was once again torn between two emotions. On the one hand she was scared out of her wits at the little fox looking creature in front of her; on the other hand she wanted to burst out laughing at the way Michael had looked before running like Hell was hot on his trail. Finally, her laughter got the best of her, after a few minutes of laughing she looked back and the boy and his pet (she wasn't sure what to consider it), Kyuubi.

"Never in all my life have I ever seen someone run as fast as he did." Nymphadora said as she still tried to control herself from laughing again.

"Well he deserved it. Was he the reason why you were crying earlier, Miss. Nymphadora?" Harry asked, with a slight smile on his face.

Nymphadora scowled before saying. "Tonks if you don't mind, my full name is Nymphadora Tonks. But, I hate my first name, so if you ever call me Nymphadora again I'll hex you with every curse I know."

"Fair enough," Harry said with a slight look of fear. "My name is Harry Potter; if you gasp and start asking me a bunch of dumb questions I'll sic Kyuubi here after you."

Thankfully, Tonks didn't gasp and ask a bunch of questions, she did however look at his scar with wide eyes.

"So I take it you left your first compartment because of all the gasps and questions." She asked him.

"Yes, most of the questions were dumb and pointless. Anyway you never answered my first question."

"And what question would that be." Tonks asked with confusion written on her face.

"Was that prat the reason you were crying earlier?" Harry asked, not to sure if he would receive an answer.

Tonks's face darkened before she spoke up. "Yeah, his name is Michael Zael and he was my boyfriend last year."

"Why would you go out with a jerk like that?"

Tonks looked at Harry with a small smile and said. "You're a little to young to know the reason, besides I'm not one to tell my life's story to someone I just met."

Harry just nodded, though his curiosity increased. Rather than ask her more about her personal life, Harry asked more about Hogwarts. So far, the only information he had that was reliable, came from Hagrid. As the two talked, they lost track of time and soon the train slowed itself to a stop. Looking out the window, Harry, Tonks, and Kyuubi saw that they were in a village a Tonks's face lit up.

"We're in Hogsmeade, we will be at Hogwarts soon. Come on Harry, let's go." She said her voice as hyper as Kyuubi's.

Leading Harry and Kyuubi off the train, they heard Hagrid calling for the first years. Smiling Tonks told Harry to hurry over to Hagrid while she went with the older students. Walking over to Hagrid, He met up with Ron, Haku, Sasuke, Gaara, and of course Shukaku, Ballmut, and Shahara.

"Harry where were you?" Haku asked, looking a bit worried.

"No where just explored the train and made a new friend." Harry replied.

"Bout to say, that was the longest bathroom trip in history." Ron said, still a little star struck that he was hanging out with the Harry Potter. Harry was a little annoyed with the way Ron was acting, but just ignored it. Harry was hoping that the whole school wouldn't start making a fuss over who he was, but so far that dream looked like it would never come true.

When Hagrid was sure that he had all the first years he led them farther away from the rest of the students. After a short walk, all the first years approached the boats, and were amazed by the sight that lay in front of them. There on a cliff laid a large castle, much bigger than the one that the elements called home. It was hard to see the castle due to it being night and the only light source being the moon and the lights inside the castle, but even so all the first years found themselves staring in wonder at the castle.

Soon the group was brought out of their thoughts by Hagrid's thunderous voice saying. "Welcome to Hogwarts."

(A.N. Glad to see I get about 2-3 reviews a chapter, at the rate I'm going I'll have 100 reviews at 50 chapters, bear in mind that the story won't be that many chapters long. In other words REVIEW PLEASE! Other than my lack of reviews, I'm trying to get a hold of the first book, although this is an AU fic I would like for it to be as close to the book as reasonably possible. So bear with me as updates may take longer since I don't have the first book in my possession.)
