It has been brought to my attention that while my spelling is okay I need to work on grammar and the like. Its not my fault! It's the dyslexia(yay for sp check) Anybody interested in Betaing?
Kurama showed the three students through one of the doors and to the text books. They each grabbed one and said thanks.
"No problem, I'd been sitting in that room for who knows how long…it was around sunrise I think." Kurama said, and stretched.
"Who are you?" Ron asked not jealous.
Kurama smiled again and said. "My name varies from person to person, you can call me Kurama."
"You don't look like a wizard," Ron said. "you look like a muggle."
"Ron!" Hermione scolded, "You know that lots of wizards look and act like muggles. Besides its rude."
"Sorry" Ron mumbled.
"It's fine, he didn't mean anything by it. Sometimes people mouths open before they've completely thought things through. I have two friends like that." As they'd been talking the four had moved back toward the storeroom the owner was letting Kurama use. Kurama opened the door and without thinking Harry, Ron, and Hermione fallowed him in.
"So your name is Ron. What are your names?" Kurama asked Harry and Hermione.
"Hermione." Said Hermione.1
"I'm Harry." Said Harry.
"Harry…" Kurama said and frowned. Something about that name was important, he just couldn't remember what.2
"Good grief Kurama, are you really that bad with names?" Hiei said, and the three Hogwort's students jumped, they hadn't noticed him sitting in the corner.
"Enlighten me." Kurama said mockingly , and Harry shifted nervously.
"Harry Potter." Kurama still looked blank. Hiei rolled his eyes, all three of them, not that anybody could see the third one. "Oh come on Kurama, I thought you were good with names."
"Only if I have a face to put a name with, or they're a threat to me." Kurama said cheerfully
Hiei rolled his eyes again. "The-boy-who-lived." Still blank. "The only one to survive Voldemort's killing cruse. You do remember who Voldemort is, don't you?" Hiei questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"I was paying a little attention. It's kind of hard to concentrate when your trying to think up a reason your going to be away for 9 months without actually telling why." Said Kurama testily.
"I still think you should just tell your mother." Said Hiei
"You mean like your just going to tell her?" "Kurama snapped.
"That's different." Hiei said defensively.
The argument would of continued, but Hermione, who recognized an ongoing argument when she saw one, tactfully cleared her throat. The two demons stop fighting, they'd forgotten about Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Hiei 'Hn' ed and crossed his arms, while Kurama seemed to collect himself. He then smiled, "Sorry, we tend to argue about certain things, and forget others are around."
Hermione blushed again, and Ron rolled his eyes. Harry suppressed a groan, Ron and Hermione could for hours if they got started.
"Ro-" Hermione started.
Harry interrupted her. "Come on you guys, don't argue, I have a headache." Hermione opened her mouth, but he continued before she could sayanything(she had that look.) "Not a headache because of Voldemort," Ron flinched, as always "Just a regular headache."
Hermione looked doubtful, but didn't say anything about it.
Harry wasn't the only with a headache, Kurama and Hiei both had one to. Wizards gave off a distinct magical signature. Normally it wouldn't bother a demon, but when you gathered hundreds of wizards, with magic constantly going on, those demons who could sense auras and the like ended up with rather bad headaches. Neither Kurama's or Hiei's was as bad as it had been the day before, but if was still bad. That was the reason Koenma wanted Hiei and Kurama in Diagone alley, to adjust to wizards' magic.
Ron and Hermione stopped fighting, and good for them. Hiei's temper, even at the best of times was short, and this definitely wasn't the best of times.
Kurama, thankfully, had noticed Hiei's rapidly deteriorating temper. "You three seem to know a lot about the wizarding community. As Ron guessed, we are new to most of this. I don't suppose you'd share some views?" He asked smiling.
Ron looked like he was about to say something rude, but Harry interjected before he could. "We'd be happy to."
"Thank you, but not here, if I read another letter I will scream, and I need food." He twitched, trying to suppress a smile. "Preferably some thing with sugar in it. Large amounts of sugar."
Hiei snorted.
"Umm sure." Said Harry. "There is an ice cream place right down the street."
