Chapter 2

MEETING HARRY

Yusuke stared out the window of his compartment at the many students scurrying off the train. Some were heading to the half giant, whose name Yusuke couldn't remember, and the others were walking over to the carriages. Hiei was lucky, Yusuke thought. The fire demon was up at the school in the grand hall waiting for him. They were both to stand guard as the students ate, but since Hiei won the bet, he was the one forced to make sure every student got off the train all right.

Earlier this morning Yusuke had gone to the train station, under the request of Albus Dumbledore, and boarded the train before the students. There he rode the train from London all the way to Hogsmeade station. He grimaced as he remembered the horrible experience of all the kids screaming and the bangs of the 'wands' that Dumbledore-san had told them about. He chuckled dryly as he imaged how Hiei would've acted in his position. Yes, he hated to admit, perhaps it was good he had lost the bet.

He stretched and got up from his seat as the train started to lurch forward again. There was no need to rush, after all the only thing waiting for him was a bunch of screaming children, and an irate fire demon. Although, it would be amusing to see Hiei dealing with all the 'baka ningen' as he called them. Yusuke grinned and shook himself of his musings, there was work to be done still. He concentrated on the spirit energy of the train and searched for any student that had gotten left behind. He dimly felt the weak energy of a teenager a couple compartments down from his. Making sure that there were no enemies on the train (after all you cant be too safe.) Yusuke stepped out of the apartment and walked down the corridor and turned to the door that he had felt the energy from. He heedlessly noticed the drawn blinds, which screamed suspicion in his mind. He slid back the door and stepped forward into the small room, he looked down on the floor and saw nothing. Well nothing solid but he defiantly saw the spirit energy now that he was closer. His eyebrows rose as he lifted some kind of cloak off of a teenage boy.

The boy had dark hair, green eyes and a lightning bolt shaped scar. Yusuke grimaced, this was the boy he and Hiei were supposed to protect? He looked pathetic and his nose was definitely broken. His spirit energy seemed to be bound by something since Yusuke could tell he was uncomfortable and couldn't move. He placed his hands on the boy's chest and sent some of his kai to the imaginary binding, breaking the curse.

The boy stood up slowly grabbing his wand and the cloak and stuffed them into his pockets, "Um…Th-" He began to say but was instantly cut off by the stranger.

"No time, we have to jump off the train before it gets too far." Yusuke said as he walked out of the compartment and headed for the door of the train, the boy cautiously following behind him. Yusuke opened the door to reveal the slow moving ground of the platform as the train tried to pick up speed. "You first." Yusuke said as he pushed the boy out of the door and then jumped off behind him.

Harry grunted and rolled as he felt the hard stone underneath his body. He stood hastily back up and looked at the stranger uncertainly. After all he didn't even know the stranger's name, so why should he trust him? The stranger looked nice enough, besides the fact that he seemed flat out strange. Now that they were off the train, Harry could finally get a good look at his company. He was wearing simple blue jeans, a white shirt, and a denim jacket. Harry was also surprised, when he remembered the man hadn't broken the curse that Harry was under with his wand. Just who was this guy?

Yusuke, who had landed gracefully on his feet, watched the boy curiously. When he started to see apprehension in the black haired teens eyes he decided it was time to introduce himself. Yusuke put on his friendliest smile and stuck out his hand as he said, "I am Yusuke Urameshi, and I must say it's a damn good thing I was riding the train, wouldn't you agree?"

"Erm…thanks. I am Harry Potter." Harry waited for the stare, the gasp, and the questions but surprisingly none came. He looked up at Yusuke as he shook the energetic teens' hand and decided that he liked this boy already.

"Pleasure to meet you Potter-san." Yusuke almost choked with laughter; the name sounded so strange on his tongue. What kind of person carried the sir name of Potter anyway?

"Thanks, you can just call me Harry though."

"Alright Harry, we should get you to the feast before you go without eating." Yusuke winked and started to the lead the way back up towards the school.

It hadn't been long before footsteps reached both of their ears. Harry placed a hand on his wand and he thought it strange that Yusuke hadn't. In fact Yusuke hadn't done anything to protect himself, he looked as relaxed as ever.

"Hello Tonks-san. The boy is safe, I am taking him up to the school." Yusuke said pointing behind him to Harry.

Harry looked up; the person who was approaching was indeed a female, but how could Yusuke see that far away through all of the darkness. Harry released his grip on his wand as Tonks came closer and he was finally able to tell it was her himself.

"Whatcher Harry? And Yusuke?" She asked as she looked at both of them.

Yusuke nodded politely, while Harry gave a small, "Fine."

"Here let me fix that nose for you." Tonks held up her wand and whispered an incantation.

"Thanks," he said as he put his hand up to his nose and felt it to confirm that it was all right. After the experience with Lockheart he really only trusted Madam Pomfrey to help him with his injuries. "I guess there was really no point for me to come then." She said sighing as she put her wand away. To Harry she looked more disheveled and sad then when he first met her, perhaps it was stress, or the death of…no he really didn't want to think about it. An awkward silence seemed to pass over the group and she gave a weak smile as she waved and said her final goodbyes claiming she had to get back to Hogsmeade. Harry watched curiously as she disappeared into the night and then he turned to Yusuke questionably.

"Hogsmeade? What is she doing in Hogsmeade?" Harry asked, as they continued to walk back up to the castle.

"Dumbledore-san has placed many aurors(sp?) in Hogsmeade in order to give the school better protection. Although in my opinion it really isn't necessary."

"How come?" Harry asked as he looked at the back of the boy's head in wonder. Why wouldn't he want more protection for the school? Was he a deatheater? He didn't really look like one. In fact he looked more like a muggle. He was wearing muggle clothing, and he didn't strike Harry as a wizard at all.

"I think the new protection will work fine without aid."

"New protection?"

"You will find out soon enough." He answered smiling in Harry's direction.

They walked the rest of the way in silence and when they had entered the school Harry had gone from curious to nervous. He knew that as soon as he walked into the Great Hall everyone would be staring at him and everyone would be wondering where he had been. Well Everyone except for Malfoy, that bloody git was probably already acting the whole train scene out to the Slytherin table.

Yusuke walked forward and pushed open the large entrance doors and waited for Harry to pass. Harry straightened his shoulders and marched through the double doors and walked into the Great Hall. He vaguely noted that Yusuke wasn't following him as the stares grew worse and worse. He continued to walk quickly until he heard the worried shouts of his friends.

"Harry, where've you been mate?"

"We were worried, what happened to your face?" Hermione said looking worriedly at Harry as he scooted in the seat between her and Ron.

"I was on the train," Harry said, answering Ron's question. "And, what's wrong with my face?" He said worriedly bringing a hand up to feel it.

"It's got blood all over it, here let me help you." She raised her wand and muttered something just as Dumbledore rose from his seat to address the students.

"Welcome back to Hogwarts, and for those of you who are indeed new to the school then welcome." He paused and glanced around the room, eyes twinkling brightly, "There are few things that need to be addressed. First of all we have some new staff arrangements." He looked to the left of him and motioned for the big man to stand. "This is Professor Slughorn he will be your Potions teacher."

Professor Slughorn waved and smiled before sitting back down at the staff table.

Dumbledore waited for the clapping to die down before he continued, "The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be our one and only, Professor Snape." At this there seemed to be slight uproar, however, Dumbledore ignored it and just paused his speech once again. When Snape was addressed he did not stand instead he just stared and Harry could've sworn he saw a triumphant smirk plaster the teacher's face.

"I trust you have noticed the two strangers standing at the entrances," Dumbledore continued. Harry swiveled around and glimpsed at the nearest entrance, which was the one next to the staff table. There was a man standing in the doorway with an indifferent expression on his face as he continued to stare at (what seemed to Harry,) nothing. He was dressed all in black save for the white scarf he wore around his neck, the white bandana around his forehead, and the strange bandages that were rapped around his right arm. He had spiky black hair with a starburst of white in the middle and glaring red eyes. Wait a moment. Red eyes? Harry stared harder. He defiantly had red eyes. Maybe it was a wizarding trick or contacts, thought Harry. Yes that was it.

Harry tore his attention from the expressionless man and turned to the doorway he had just entered through. There stood Yusuke his arms folded and his back leaning against the middle of the doors. His eyes were closed and he seemed at ease, he looked different from before, however, Harry just couldn't put his finger on it.

"They are new residents of Hogwarts and will be guarding the school and it's inhabitants night and day. Do not be afraid, they are not that mean," Dumbledore chuckled at his comment. "However, tread with caution and don't do anything to make them think you are an enemy around them. If you do something to provoke or cause them suspicion, you might not keep you're life. With that said, Bed!" Dumbledore said smiling widely at the surprised teens.

"So that's who they are." Ron muttered as Hermione raced off to gather the first years. "I wonder what they're like?"

"Rather nice and strange, but in a good way." Harry answered as he watched Yusuke side step a group of students who were trying to get out.

"What!" Ron gasped pulling Harry's attention back to him, "How do you know?"

"I've met one, that one," Harry pointed to Yusuke. "He helped me off the train, his name is Yusuke. He was rather friendly."

"The other one doesn't seem so." Ron said looking at the stranger dressed in black, who seemed to be glaring at the few students who were left in the hall. "So what happened on the train anyway?"

"I'll tell you later, when Hermione's around," Harry answered.

Ron was about to say something when he was interrupted by the presence of a newcomer.

"Do you not know the way to your common rooms?" Ron gasped at the red-eyed figure that stood next to them.

"H-how did you get from there to here, that fast?" Ron asked nervously.

"I walked." Hiei answered raising his eyebrows at the two idiot ningens.

"Come on Hiei lighten up!" Harry jumped as he heard Yusuke's voice from behind him. He turned just in time to see the raven-haired teen slap the cloaked man on the back. "It's alright Harry, by the way this is Hiei. Hiei meet Harry and…" Yusuke looked questionably at Ron.

"Ron Weasley." He answered staring at Yusuke in awe. Yusuke nodded and pointed at the doors.

"You guys are the last one's left you know. Shouldn't you be off to bed?" Harry and Ron looked around and gasped when they saw that he was right, they hadn't realized that they had talked at the table for that long. They both stood and turned to the two guards.

"Thanks Yusuke for before and Goodnight." Harry said waving to the two while Ron jogged behind him looking nervously back at the two guards.

(Why do you have to be so damn friendly?) Hiei said turning towards Yusuke and glaring.

(Well excuse me Hiei, I only figured that we should try and get close to the student that we have to protect if we want to find things out on our own.) Yusuke said exasperatedly throwing his arms in the air and turning towards the doors.

"Hn." Hiei answered indifferently as he followed the half demon out, in order to begin their night of patrolling.

Hiei grimaced as the noise of the Great Hall grew even louder as more and more students began to enter it for breakfast. Although Hiei's outward appearance always remained impassive and indifferent, inside he was banging his head against a wall. It had been like this everyday since the school opened to the students a week ago.

All and all it had been boring and dull, which was to be expected. The only thing he had been doing was scouting and patrolling all night and day, neither of them got hardly enough sleep. However, Hiei was used to this from being in the Makai. The system that they had come up with, thanks to Hiei of course was that Yusuke would be in the school during the day, while Hiei would scout outside. They would both be at the meals except for lunch where Hiei would remain outside. During the night they would both be in the school, Yusuke taking the lower levels while Hiei scouted the upper floors.

Their system of scouting had worked for the best. Hiei liked being outside with the trees. He had always hated being inside; perhaps it was the feeling of being trapped that made him so nervous when he stayed indoors. He also didn't have to put up with, as many brats as the detective had to, especially on a weekday, like this one, very few would be outside. Hiei smirked to himself as he thought of Yusuke being run over by 12-year olds half his size and having to put up with looks of curiosity and the whispers that they got when the guards walked by.

The smirk, however, soon disappeared as quickly as it had come when he was reminded of where he was by a practically loud shout of joy. How was he dragged into this mission again? Oh yeah, Mukuro. Damn, that woman was so aggravating and annoyingly pushy. She knew above anything that Hiei despised ningens with few exceptions (Yusuke). Yet here he was standing in the hellhole of some stupid 'wizarding place'.

He looked over at the black haired boy with glasses, the kid they were supposed to protect. He seemed to be conversing with a blonde haired female who had just walked through the entrance nearest Yusuke. To Hiei this boy didn't seem as strong as their ningen client had informed them. In fact this boy probably wouldn't be able to stand against a D class demon.

As soon as breakfast started coming to an end, Hiei gave Yusuke a silent nod and left from his position by the door.

The few students that remained in the Great Hall gasped, because to them it had looked like the black clad man had simply disappeared.

-TBC-

in case you were wondering the blonde haired girl mentioned early was Katie Bell congratulating Harry for making quidditch captain.

Now, the story will not be based entirely on book 6, indeed it def. was not my favorite of the 7. I know the train part is exactly the same, but there will not be many other similarities.

Thank you for the reviews! O and I need a beta reader if anyone is interested,
