Chapter 5

Introductions

Takuya

I smiled as a whole lot of food appeared on the empty platters in front of me. Some dishes I didn't recognize but there were a few Japanese dishes. Guessing by the looks on the Gryffindor's faces, Dumbledore added them especially for us. Soon my plate was full of food I knew and didn't.

"What is that," a red head asked staring at a plate of Gunkan.

"It's Gunkan," I answered.

The red head looked up at me, "What?"

"Gunkan," a bushy brunette beside him said, "It's a type of Japanese sushi. Fish eggs wrapped in seaweed."

"Yep," I said putting one on my already full plate, much to the red heads disgust, "I'm Takuya."

The red head looked at me oddly, while the bushy head rolled her eyes, "I'm Hermione, the one who doesn't know anything about Japan is Ron."

Ron shot Hermione a glare, "I know some stuff about Japan."

"Like what."

Judging by the looks on everyone's faces their arguing was a regular meal time entertainment. The boy next to them, who I recognized as Harry Potter from what Dumbledore had told us, sighed at his friends.

"I know that they don't like to socialize with other countries."

"That's only because there's never been a Quidditch tournament in Japan."

"Yeah so what?"

I tried not to laugh and looked over to Harry, "Sorry I started them off."

Harry smiled, "Don't worry about it."

"How about I try this again," I held out my hand, Z told me that this was the English greeting, "I'm Takuya."

He shook it, "Harry Potter."

Everyone around us looked at me in surprise, besides m friends of course. Tomoki was trying to stifle a laugh, Kouichi had a small smile, and Kouji was smirking.

"He's Harry Potter," Ron pointed out.

"Yeah he just told me," I smiled.

"You know he's famous," Ron asked not noticing the look Harry was giving him.

"Yeah."

"You don't care," Ron asked confused.

"Not in the slightest, I want to make my own opinion of him, not from stories I hear."

Harry shot me a grateful smile, which I returned. I did notice something Harry didn't; people who heard me looked as though they were changing their minds.
