Chapter Nine
Dark was wandering the halls of Hogwarts again during the night after he had made another delivery to the Ministry in his normal form. He couldn't help but feel some pity for the Death Eaters since they were getting the brunt of his anger. He saw a light up in the corridor ahead and sniffed the air; he couldn't help but grin when he caught the scent of Granger and an idea struck him. His grin widened considerably and if one would look at his face, they would think that he was a maniacal, homicidal murderer… then again, he is one. Pulling the shadows around him, he made sure to make himself look like pure darkness, only letting his eyes glimmer after changing them to the colour of purple lightning(1). He waited in the crevasses of the walls as her footsteps became louder. When she just went past him, he brushed past her making her spin around. Her eyes darted around suspiciously making Dark laugh at her mockingly. He couldn't help but grin when she jumped in fright before getting angry. "Okay, who's there!" she demanded to the empty corridor. "If you don't come out now I will be giving detention with Snape!" Dark couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at that before commenting in a slightly disembodied voice.
"My, my, my," murmured Dark as he ghosted behind her and spoke into her ear. He disappeared like a wisp of air when she turned and appeared again on her left. "I thought that you respected all teachers Miss Granger. Or do you just feel like becoming your…boyfriend for a while?" Dark couldn't help but say that word disdainfully as he disappeared again and looked at her from his position above her head. "Don't you dare insult Ron!" she hissed to the empty space. "Why shouldn't I?" queried Dark in false curiosity. "After all, you two make such a lovely couple." And with that, he appeared right in front of her as she turned. She stood stock still with fright for thirty seconds before he got bored with the staring and rushed up to her face and said "Boo," boredly. Needless to say, she screamed like a banshee causing Dark to flinch slightly at the pitch before making his eyes glow brighter which caused her to faint after her scream trailed off. He looked down at her with some shame as her let go of the shadows and glamour to reveal his normal, twenty-nine year old self. "Man," said Dark with a shake of his head. "How did I ever become friends with them? Oh well, I gotta do something to them soon, I've been neglecting them." His ears pricked up slightly when he heard the sounds of someone running and left with small 'poof'(2) as Filch and three other Prefects came into view. The only thing they saw was Granger on the floor unconscious and a small note next to her. The third-year Hufflepuff Prefect went closer to Granger and picked up the note cautiously. On it said-
Miss Granger,
Try not to talk to yourself despite whatever suspicions you have of another person being near you, otherwise people might think you need a psychiatrist.
Anonymous
Bewildered, the Hufflepuff showed the note to Filch and the others before they levitated Granger to the hospital wing. When she woke up and read the note the next morning, the whole castle heard her cry of outrage as a certain Gryffindor grinned slightly in amusement. 'Maybe I should have suggested a marriage counsellor I know,' thought Harry in amusement as he planned a small gift for Weasley and Granger for tomorrow. 'It would be useful once they get married in the future.'
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
When Granger was let out of the hospital wing the next day, she and Weasley walked into the Great Hall with some curious looks aimed at them. As it seems, the story that Granger had met a possible and unknown Dark creature while on her rounds had been leaked when she had told her story to the Headmaster about a being of pure shadows with lightning purple eyes. Though the Slytherins were having a laugh when they heard that she had screamed and fainted when said 'Dark creature' merely said 'Boo' to her. Though no one knows who sent that little rumour around except one Gryffindor and one Slytherin. Remus and Snape held in their laughter when they heard that from Madame Hooch, who was surprisingly, quite the gossiper.
When the two sat down and started on their breakfast, Harry kept on taking discreet peeks at them and couldn't help but smirk behind his goblet. After Granger and Weasley swallowed their first bite of their breakfast, they where suddenly covered in a strange whirlwind of light. Everyone couldn't help but stare at it until it died down to reveal a…unique change to the two former…students. Granger had turned into Wile E. Coyote and Weasley into Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes. Both looked at each other in shock as the Muggle-borns and Muggle-raised wizards started to chatter with glee. The pure-bloods had no idea who they were now and were just staring at them curiously and trying hard to not laugh. Then, the Great Hall doors banged open to reveal a slightly humanoid rabbit and a bird with long legs and tail feathers. The girls who were raised/born in the Muggle world all gasped in happiness as one of their childhood dreams came true; they were going to meet Bugs Bunny and Road Runner.
"What is going on here!" cried out Weasley before he slapped his hands over his mouth since he sounded exactly like Daffy Duck. Some girls couldn't help but squeal which made Weasley look around suspiciously with a hint of fear in his eyes. He was, after all, subjected to the painful torture of fangirls about a month ago. Granger opened her mouth and tried to talk, but nothing came out and she held up a sign from Wile E. Coyote's habit. ;We got turned into Muggle carton characters; said the sign with a disgruntled Granger. "Yeah, ya did Wile," said Bugs as he chewed on a carrot. "And you know what else? Elmer Phud is with us too." A small person in a hunter's outfit with a shotgun appeared. "Eh heheheh, hi there," said Elmer with a grin. Road Runner grinned and said his customary 'Meep meep'. It was obvious to the Muggle born/raised wizards/witches that Granger was trying to fight Wile E.'s instincts to try and get the fast bird. Then, road Runner tilted his head in a mocking manner which settled the fight with Wile E. Coyote being the winner. With a hungry grin Wile E. ran for Road Runner who 'Meep meep'ed again as it blew a raspberry before running off with a cloud trail following it.
"Now you silly duck," began Elmer with a grin as he aimed his shot gun at Daffy/Weasley. "It's duck season and I feel like roast duck tonight." Daffy/Weasley blanched as their eyes went wide. He looked around rapidly before his eyes caught the form of Bugs. "It's Rabbit season!" shouted Daffy as he pointed the gun to Bugs. Bugs' ears folded slightly as he blinked, before pointing the shot gun back to Daffy/Weasley. "Duck season" said Bugs calmly.
"Rabbit season!"
"Duck season."
"Rabbit season!"
"Duck season."
"Rabbit season!"
"Rabbit season."
"Duck season! FIRE!" shouted Daffy/Weasley as he pointed the muzzle to himself and Elmer pulled the trigger. A loud bang later and the passing of shot gun fumes saw Daffy/Weasley with his beak spinning round his head before it stopped at the back. His eyes were wide before narrowing into a glare. Daffy/Weasley turned to the smug looking Bugs Bunny. "I hate you," said Daffy/Weasley as the Great Hall burst out in laughter. Remus was hiding his face in his arms as his shoulders shook with laughter. Snape was covering his face with both his hands just to make sure no one could see his smile, smile, of amusement. All the Muggle raised/born students couldn't help but rush up to their favourite Looney Tunes characters and ask for their autographs. Even Dumbledore went up to them, Daffy/Weasley was on cloud nine when he saw that he had fans but his bubble was quickly burst when he saw that Bugs had more fans than him. No one noticed when a small, television-like screen appeared near the door.
Bugs, however, did and looked up with surprise. "Well, whaddaya know," said Bugs with some approval. "It's a large screen TV. Ooohh, look at that, the remote just popped up. Now, I wonder what's on." Bugs grabbed the remote and clicked the on to show Wile E. /Granger chasing Road Runner around the castle with a handkerchief around his/her neck and a fork and knife in either hand. Unfortunately, she/he crashed into one of the suits of armour that were walking around the second floor. Most of the people there couldn't help but wince in sympathy as a resounding gong and Wile E. /Granger went back as they shook and walked around like a drunk before being knocked out by the butt of the axe of said armour. A sign was held up saying ;I hate my job,; before Wile E. /Granger lost consciousness. The whole Hall cracked up laughing again as Harry wiped tears of laughter from his eyes. "Not bad Dark," hissed Kai in amusement as he watched the Hall laugh themselves to tears. "How did you get the carton characters to life anyway?" Harry gave Kai a grin. "A little Live Transfiguration didn't hurt anyone now did it?" asked Harry rhetorically with an overly innocent smile on his face. Kai couldn't help but chuckle slightly at his apprentice. "I don't think anyone will be able to go to class today," said Kai as he looked around. "They will most likely remembering this all day." Harry couldn't help but nod in agreement as they watched Daffy/Weasley getting blasted by the shot gun again.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It was a Saturday morning and the majority of the student population was taking advantage of this holy day by sleeping in to their hearts content. Some were up early for Hogsmeade and were still talking and laughing over yesterday's prank which had unfortunately worn off earlier this morning. Unfortunately for Harry, he was not one of those fortunate people who got to sleep in or laze about until Hogsmeade. He was currently in the Chamber of Secrets harvesting whatever usable parts of the basilisk he could find in his normal form. Grumbling to himself, Dark took out the left eye with a grimace before placing it in the spelled jar. "I just had to be the lucky person to kill a basilisk at the age of twelve," muttered Dark darkly as he took out the other eye. "I swear, once the 'Final Battle' comes and goes, I am going to enjoy the look on that old fart's face when it all comes spilling out like a broken sack of beans." Kai couldn't help but look up in amusement from his perch on Salazar Slytherin's head as Dark had an evil-looking grin on his face. "Now, now, deshi," murmured Kai as he stretched in a cat-like fashion. "You don't want to get too into 'It'. Remember what happened last time?" Dark laughed sheepishly as he remembered that day.
-Flashback-
It was in one of the darker alleys of Tokyo when it had happened. Dark, D and Q-chan were surrounded by various Yakuza thugs and one of the sub-leaders. "D-san," said the Sub-leader calmly as he polished his dark glasses. "Did you know that the 'pet' that you sold to the son of our Head Boss, had killed him?" D calmly looked at him in the eye as Dark growled at them, baring the tips of his teeth as his ears went flat against his skull. Some of the newer members of the gang watched him warily. "The shop and I do not hold any responsibility for any…accidents that may happen if any of the three clauses of the contract are breached," replied D with slightly narrowed eyes. "Ryuji-san knew the clauses but chose do dismiss them. As such, I am not responsible for what had happened to him."
The sub-leader took out a pack of cigarettes and silver lighter. He took out a cigarette, put the end in his mouth and flicked the lighter open. He lit the cigarette and took a deep breathe before smirking at D. "But to the Boss, you are responsible D-san," he purred with a mocking hint in his voice. "That said I do hope you enjoy your evening. Boys." He waved his hand to the thugs before turning to leave. However, he didn't make it far before he was enclosed in a thick blanket of shadow. The rest of the Yakuza watched in horror as their sub-leader let give a muffled scream as he was crushed to death slowly. A quick squeeze later saw splatters of blood fly out of the cocoon and hitting the nearest thugs in the face. They stood stock still in fear as the shadows let go of the pulped body causing the newbies to throw up and the seniors to shudder at the sight of the bloodied pulp of a body. Organs were oozing out of the tears and cuts as blood flowed freely from the wounds like a river, quickly staining the floor and the feet of the Yakuza thugs. Shards of bone poked out like spikes with bits of flesh stuck on the points.
"Tch, tch, Yami-kun," said D behind them in gentle reprimand. "You know better than to leave a mess behind." The Yakuza were frozen in their spots as they heard a demonic voice behind them. "Sorry D," said Yami/Dark as they shook slightly. "But I can do the rest of them right? I reckon they deserve it." They shook even harder as sweat trickled down their faces. "It is your decision Yami-kun," said D with some amusement. "Not mine." Yami/Dark laughed as he faded into the shadows and pulled up a dome of shadows, causing them to panic. "Now how should I kill you all?" said Yami's/Dark's disembodied voice. They all looked around themselves frantically as a chilling laughter was heard. "So many techniques, so little to practice on." With that said, the carnage began. They all screamed in terror as blood rained down upon them from the force of a split jugular vein and the sounds of tearing flesh echoed throughout the dome as D watched from outside with a smile before leaving to go back to the shop. "I do hope Yami-kun will clean himself up before he comes back to the shop," said D with a sigh as more screams of terror and a maniacal laughter was heard. "Blood is so hard to get rid of on the carpet."
"Now, now," said a mockinglykind voice. "I won't hurt you…much." More laughter was heard as it bordered on a psychotic level and more screams were heard along with pleads of mercy that were disregarded without a single thought.
-End Flashback-
Dark laughed even more sheepishly as he thought of the reactions the other animals had when he came back to the shop clean, but reeking of blood. T-chan had demanded why he hadn't brought them at least some of the remains back with him for the other predators. The younger animals were afraid of what had angered him enough for him to kill enough people to smell that strongly of blood for at least three days. "I still can't believe I acted like that though," said Dark absently as he pulled out a fang. "Even Bellatrix Black would have been freaked out by my behaviour that night. Though I don't really regret doing that, it was such a wonderful stress reliever." Kai couldn't help but wonder if that was the demon merging with his apprentice that was the reason for his lack of…humanity or it was just part of his nature. He looked up when he heard a cry of disgust and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that Dark was covered in some of the basilisk blood. He soon started to laugh softly when Dark started cursing in all the languages he had learnt during his lifetime which included Parseltongue, Demon, Japanese and various other languages, even Zimbabwean(?). "Language, deshi," murmured Kai in amusement as Dark merely gave him a mock glare before sticking out his tongue childishly. Maybe he is just both; after all, he couldn't be completely 'Light' since he was willing to do that to those Yakuza members and to the Death Eaters. Kai looked up at the open ceiling and couldn't help but wonder how long it would be until everyone figures out that the Harry Potter is the mysterious 'Dark' that has been terrorising the Death Eaters for the last few months. He couldn't help but smirk as he thought of their reactions. 'That will be fun to watch,' thought Kai with amusement before having a nap.

To be continued…

Oh, and for those who read my other story, 'Raised by a Kami', I'm afraid to say dat I made a mistake in my author note at the end. It was too early for Leon, Chris and all to come into the picture since the store had to be in America for a while before they even come in T.T. as such, I'm afraid you'll all have to wait until haru's/harry's fourth year to see them. Until nxt tym, ja ne!
