Chapter 7

When the entire entourage reached the kitchen Mrs. Weasly went to the stove and began to start stirring whatever she had been cooking, Harry personally thought she didn't need to use such force, but then again he didn't know how to cook.

Mrs. Weasly didn't in fact need to use so much force but she was frustrated at Harry for bringing a muggle into their home.

"So who is she?" Was all that was said, everyone was grateful that it was said, the tension of watching Mrs. Weasly stir was even more than the tension Harry had left on Privet Drive.

"I don't know exactly, she showed up when I was a the …well, when I was out." Harry shill had a hard time accepting the reason he was in a cemetery. "Why what's wrong?"

"Harry, we have spells on this place, they make muggles think they have forgotten something and they go back, this girl probably thought she needed to keep going on." George said, rubbing his head. He looked unlike himself at all, this seemed like a very important thing bringing a muggle in and Harry couldn't see why.

"But, she did magic. At least I think she did." All three of the Weaslys looked at Harry, Fred's elbow even fell off of the corner of the table. Harry suddenly got very nervous with everyone looking at him as if he were on stage or he was about to confess a crime. "Well I mean, she did a pretty good summoning spell, and she said she saw something when we uh, first shook uh hands." Harry knew that if he told Fred and George that the first thing that happened was a girl was watching him and then fell into his arms.

Fred and his mother seemed to accept this but George's eyebrows went up to his forehead. But he said nothing and Harry was grateful. At that moment Hermione came down the stairs with Ginny behind her.

"Why does everyone look so serious?" Hermione was the first to speak after they girls arrival.

"Harry brought a girl here." Fred said not think of the consequences. When he realized what he had said he turned to pale green and turned toward his sister. Harry was afraid to look over at the girls but what happened next surprised him so much he was positive if he had been paying more attention he would have fallen off his chair.

"Oh, great what's her name?" Ginny said making everyone look up in surprise. Fred looked like he could have blown up a balloon from the sigh he let out and it was George's turn to follow his twins suit and his elbow fell off with a thunk.

Ginny looked from face to face waiting for an answer.

Mrs. Weasly seeing not of the tension said "It's Higurashi or something." She rounded on Harry. "What do you mean you think she did magic?"

"Well she did a fair summoning spell when Fred and George's lizard attacked us, and then—" Harry never finished his thought because Mrs. Weasly had completely forgotten about him.

"YOU DID WHAT? ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE CEMETARY YOU PLAY A CREUEL JOKE ON HARRY THAT SCARED HIM OUT OF HIS WITS!" Mrs. Weasly's face had gone a color that clashed terribly with her hair.

"I wasn't scared out of my wits! Honestly Mrs. Weasly." Harry rose in his defense. He didn't want anyone thinking he was scared out of his wits, especially the girl who was sitting in the next room.

"Oh, I know dear," Mrs. Weasly said looking kindly at him, "BUT ITS THOSE TWO WHO I'M MAD AT!" Mrs. Weasly chased the twins out of the room still holding her wooden stirring spoon leaving it with Harry, Hermione and Ginny.

"So Harry what did you mean about her summoning spell?" Asked Hermione, Harry could tell she had been dying to ask for a while but didn't want to break the silence between Ginny and Harry.

"Oh, she summoned a bow and arrow out of thin air, and I didn't see a wand." Harry shrugged his shoulders and looked at his friend, her face had changed dramatically.

"You mean to tell me she conjured up something out of thin air and without a wand?" She said getting more and more excited, "And you're absolutely sure it was a bow and arrow?" After Harry nodded Hermione started speaking again, yet this time her voice had more of a thrill to it. "Her name is Higurashi? Is she English?"

"No, she's from Japan." Harry had started to back away from the girl who was closing in on him.

"I want to meet her." Hermione nodded like she had made everyone's mind up and then turned to him expectantly. But before Harry could answer a dreamy girl walked into the room.

"Who are you dying to meet?" The girl who floated in was more beautiful than Harry had ever seen. She had long flowing blond hair, which always seemed to make Harry think of waving silk and a face the perfect shape of an oval. That was as far as Harry always got when he saw Fleur. Half-Veela she always was able to make any man do whatever she wanted.

"Oh just a new girl who is coming to stay with us." Ginny said, all the women in the house loathed Fleur just as much as the men loved her. If Harry had been fully conscious he would have been able to see that both Hermione and Ginny were taking great delight in tormenting Fleur.

"What eez thiz new girl?" Fleur said looking perturbed. She hated having any kind of attention thrown at another girl other than herself.

"Don't you mean where eez thiz new girl? If you zay what then we will wonder if you think zhe izn't human." Said Hermione faking a French accent, and at that moment Ron and Kagome walked into the kitchen, there had been many gnomes trying to creep back into the garden and their faces were slightly flushed.

Instantly Ron fell into the same daze Harry had gone into and Kagome looked over at the new women in the house.

"Oh Hello! My name is Kagome Higurashi." She said bowing before she could stop herself. Instead of giggling the three girls all had a different reaction. The blond wore a look of smug superiority, the brown haired bowed back to her and the red head looked surprised.

Kagome decided she didn't like the blond very much, but she couldn't tell how she felt about the other two. At least they didn't burst out laughing like the twins and Harry. When Kagome thought of Harry she looked around and saw him standing with an odd expression on his face. He looked like Inuyasha when he first discovered ramen, or Miroku when he saw a pretty girl walk by. Then she looked over at Ron and saw he was wearing the same expression, he even had a small amount of drool on the edge of his lip.

"Oh well I must go and find Bill, goodbye Kageme." The blond sauntered out her nose in the air.

When the girl was out of earshot Kagome watched as both girls started ranting about the blond. They both had forgotten Kagome because the brown haired girl went over and started slapping the boys on their heads.

"Honestly, don't either of you know what self control is?" She said as she hit them, both seemed as if they had woken from a deep sleep.

"You know how she gets," Ron said as he wiped the drool from his face. Harry followed suit, and was grateful he hadn't drooled. When he lowered his hand he saw Kagome looking at him, his face went the color of scarlet and he felt as if someone had set him on fire. She saw me! Why did she have to see me when Fleur was in the room?

Kagome watched as Harry's face went from a normal calm to a fierce red, and she started giggling. By the time she burst into a full laugh the others had finally taken notice of her again. They all watched her as she grabbed her stomach and laughed until tears ran from her eyes.

"Oh, you looked just like him." She said between giggles. When she had finally calmed herself down she saw the twins and Mrs. Weasly had returned to the kitchen and they all were watching her. She smiled meekly and saw one of the twins wink at her. It was good to laugh like that, I haven't laughed so hard since I got back.

During the next few days Kagome seemed to fit right into the Weasly family. She soon found out that Harry, the brown haired girl, whose name was Hermione, and the blond, whose name was Fleur were not members of the family but Harry and Hermione were friends of Ron and Fleur was marrying Ron's older brother Bill. But the way she acted around the other guys in the house Kagome was surprised when Hermione told her Fleur was engaged.

Kagome also learned she found a wonderful friend in Harry. They both seemed to have an unspeakable connection together. They spent almost the entire day together, Harry teaching her all about the magic world and Kagome teaching Harry her culture and language.

After three days had gone by Hermione went to Kagome and asked if she would like to go on a picnic.

"We haven't had a real chance to talk and Harry, Ron and I wanted to get your opinion on a few things." Hermione seemed like she really wanted to get to know Kagome and Kagome felt she had no choice in saying yes. Hermione smiled and left but stopped when she was next to Kagome and whispered: "Don't tell Fleur." Kagome promised and watched Hermione walk away towards one of the twins and lean over to whisper something to him. He smiled and nodded and handed her a small package.

Kagome decided to think nothing of it and went upstairs to her room. She sat down and closed her eyes, and she started to concentrate her power into finding Naraku. He was gaining power and he had defiantly unleashed his demons. Kagome was unsure how many there were at that moment but she could tell they were growing. Kagome opened her eyes and went to the window. She looked down to see Ron, Harry and the twins holding broomsticks and walking away to a clearing. Kagome nodded and knew she had to get Harry's help soon or she would have to leave by herself. She sighed knowing she would have to confront him today, because tomorrow they would be busy with the wedding.

A few hours later Kagome immerged from her room only to find the house in almost complete silence. She went down to the kitchen to see both Mrs. Weasly and Fleur glaring at each other over a mixing bowl. Both seemed beyond words and they had no choice but to throw scowls at the other like knives. Kagome edged around the pair and went out the back door.

When she was in the blazing sunlight the air seemed to clear all of the angered silence in the kitchen, Kagome looked around to try and find her friends. She searched the gentle rolling hills and saw someone in the distance waving at her; Kagome recognized it to be Hermione and followed.

By the time she reached the clearing Hermione was standing Kagome was out of breath and holding her side. I really need to get back into shape if I am going to run after demons she thought. The three had already set up a small area, but there was something different from the way Kagome had picnicked before. There was a table and chairs with a full place setting. Kagome's eyes widened and Hermione said something about forgetting and waved her stick. Instantly the table changed to a short Japanese table with pillows around the perimeter for them to sit on.

Before they got a chance to sit something exploded over their heads, another giant animal like the lizard emerged from the smoke. This time it was a giant boar; Kagome hesitated but then decided before it started a rampage to finish it off. She said the words Miroku was so faithful in teaching her and her bow was at her side an arrow notched at its center. She quickly took aim and fired, this time the arrow shone a bright blue and it hit the boar between its eyes. Again like the lizard Kagome wondered why it didn't react as other demons did when she hit them. The boar instantly disappeared and she quickly did the same with her bow.

When she looked at the faces who were all staring at her she realized she had done it again, how am I going to explain this again?
