AN: Sorry it took so long to update. I was working on my other story, Ebony. And also the internet at my house totally black out and my dad had to buy a new rowder (sp?). So I had no internet for more than a week. It was pure torture! So I decided to keep myself busy by writing this chapter. Then when it came back on, I got distracted by new stories, so writing this took longer. Then also the new HP book came out so I took some time reading that as well. Well anyway, hope you enjoy it! It's way longer than any UY chapter yet. I'm trying to keep it that way from now on since a friend of mine told me that they were too short.

Disclaimer: I own neither Harry Potter nor Inuyasha.

Unexpected Youth

Chapter 5

Hogwarts was a lot bigger than Inuyasha had ever imagined. The next day after Inuyasha got settled into what would be his room for the next nine or ten months, he decided to explore the humongous castle. Later did he realize that this was no school, it was frickin maze that was disguised as a school. He still wondered how any student could ever find their classes in this hellhole. The first time he explore he got lost within the first hour. It was rather frustrating and the farther he walked the more lost he became. After the second hour, he got seriously pissed of with the disappearing doors and moving stairs that he started yelling and groaning in rage until Dumbledore found him in on the fourth floor near a girls' bathroom. Dumbledore of course volunteered to help him get to the Great Hall, which Inuyasha quickly complied to. When they got there and had a hearty brunch during a discussion of what would he teaching in more depth, Dumbledore decided to give him a tour and then gave him a map to help him around for a little bit.

It was a little help but not enough because of the still disappearing doors and moving stairs. It took him about two weeks to remember, where all the classes, bathrooms, and the Great Hall and another week to remember everything else. After he got that taken care of, he decided to study his classroom (every time he said that, he mentally laughed; him, teaching). He found out he had office that was in the back of the classroom up a few spiraling stair. As he looked around the classroom, he made a mental note to redecorate. Whoever was in here last had a disgusting taste for all things pink. Just looking at it made him want to throw up.

He also met Hagrid who was the caretaker of Hogwarts. He could tell that Hagrid was a half-giant by the way that he smelt, but unlike real giants, Hagrid was, kind, considerate, and had a huge loveable heart for all creatures no matter how dangerous or deadly. That was one thing that him and Rikku had in common.

After a another week and a half, he had fully scheduled his lesson plan for the first five months of the school years for every grade (he worked fast) and he was bored out of his mind. He soon accidentally fell into a routine of breakfast, exploring Hogwarts, lunch, training, dinner, reading, and then bed and he hated it. He very easily got tired of it. But his boredom was short-lived when he met the other teachers.

It was rather awkward meeting them since they met in a very explosive way.

It happened one morning, about a month and three weeks before the school year started. He had been up early as usual and was eating breakfast. It was usually just him, Dumbledore, and the house elves, but today a woman that was most certainly not Dumbledore strolled though the door. She wore a dark emerald green robe and witches hat with a black feather coming out of it. She looked very old and had an air of extreme authority, fairness, kindness. Beside her was another person that Inuyasha did not recognize. It was a man that had an aura of bitterness and disdain. He had lanky hair that reached almost to his shoulders and a long nose. He seemed to have his mouth in a permanent sneer as he skulked next to the woman as the old lady seemed to be talking to him about something as they walked in. They, however froze when both of their eyes landed on him as he chewed on a piece of toast.

The woman looked at him and smiled before saying, "Hello, young lady. And who you might be and what might you be doing here?" The man seemed to be appraising him for importance, but Inuyasha wasn't intimidated. He was, however, irritated that another person had mistaken him for a woman. 'Forget it. Don't blame her. Everyone thinks you're a girl at first.' He thought to himself as he calmed himself.

"Hello ma'am. My name is Inuyasha Takashi and with all due respect, I am not a girl, I'm a boy. I'm here to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Something about his words struck a chord in the bitter middle aged man. If looks could kill, Inuyasha would six feet under with the glare he gave him before he turned on his heel and walked out of the Hall, his black cloak billowing behind him.

Inuyasha looked at the spot where he disappeared before looking at the woman who was still standing in the spot on which she had stopped first. "Was it something I said?"

That seemed to shake the woman from her shock as she gave him one more analysis before smiling nervously and said, "Not you dear. Just something that Albus has done that set Severus off. You must forgive Severus. He's wanted the post for Defense Against the Dark arts for a while now. I am sorry for mistaking you for a woman, young man." She walked to the head table and sat beside him, putting a few food pieces on her plate. "So you're the new teacher, eh? Tell me, Inuyasha, do you have any field experience to teacher such a class?"

"Actually I do. I am an auror for the Japanese Ministry. I took a year off to teach here."

The woman hesitated before asking, "And how long have you been working there as an auror."

Inuyasha smiled inwardly at the question, "Well… I started working as a scientist in alchemical science for the Ministry. I joined nine years ago, ma'am."

Inuyasha could barely hold back a smirk as he saw the look of surprise dawn upon the woman's face. "But that would mean that you have been working for the Ministry since you were…"

"Eight? Sure have." That was when more people bustled through the door. First Dumbledore walked in with an irate Severus (he believed that was what the woman called him) whispering furiously in one of Dumbledore's withered ears. Severus had a look of mostly withheld anger as they walked closer to the teachers' table. After they walked in, no sooner did another couple of adults pace in after to watch the trouble that everyone but Inuyasha seemed to expect. One was a short man that sort of reminded him of a goblin but had too many human features to be confused with one (plus he smiled too much to be one) and walking along side him was a heavy-set woman who had sunny air to her to go with the sunhat she wore and smelled of wet leaf.

As they all sat down, Inuyasha could feel everyone eyes on him as he tried to ignore them for his breakfast. He felt Severus' eyes burning a whole through his head as he sat on the other side of Dumbledore and was really starting to piss him off. After trying to ignore it for another three minutes, Inuyasha gave up the fight, slammed down his fork, and yelled from his seat three seats from Severus, "What is your problem?!"

Severus answered in a snarled, "My problem is that I'm still trying to figure out why the headmaster would be so desperate as to hire a weak little child to teach a skill as difficult as Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Now Severus, I told you-"

"Child!" Inuyasha yelled, standing up from his seat and Severus did the same. Neither moved from where they had been sitting; they just glared at each other over Dumbledore's head.

"You heard me. You're nothing but an impudent child who looks like they spend more time looking in the mirror than in a book."

"Why you…" Inuyasha growled out.

The woman that he had been talking to put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down, but Inuyasha wasn't backing down. Their glare off only lasted for a few moments before Dumbledore stood up and said, "Boys, can we handle this like gentlemen?" There was pregnant pause as Severus sat back down in his chair and Inuyasha allowed the woman to ease him back into his chair. Dumbledore took a breath as he sat in his seat and saying, "Now Severus, I told you before. I chose Inuyasha because he was qualified for the job. I was the one to go to him, not the other way around."

With that said the other teachers looked at Inuyasha in amazement. Was this child really that brilliant?

Severus wouldn't let up even with this information, "I don't care! He's only a child! He's probably not a year over seventeen. How could he have any field experience at all in dueling or battle?

Inuyasha stepped in at that moment to redeem himself, "Excuse me? I have nine years of experience! I'm one of the best!" he said the last part with a cocky smirk on his face.

Severus sneered, "Sorry, but we won't be needing another Lockhart experience. I can't find myself believing that a pretty boy like you could be able to do anything."

"Well I really don't care what you choose to believe or not. I'm here so fucking deal with it!" he yelled. If this guy wanted to be a bastard about it, then Inuyasha would do the same. He stood up in one brash scoot of his chair, took one swig of tea from his cup, took a muffin and started to walk toward the door of the Great Hall.

"Wait, Inuyasha, aren't you going to stay a little bit more to meet everyone?"

Inuyasha put his hand as a wayward wave of goodbye as he did not stop walking to talk, "Nope. I'll do that later. See ya."

He left to go to his room to get dressed to train in the Forbidden Forest and brought Kilala with him.

Over that same week, he spent some quality time with most of the teachers, just to see what they were like. He could say with some confidence that some were interesting characters (except for Snape, who he had not talked to at all) while other were dull as a doornail.

Minerva McGonagall, the woman that he had first met, was a rather… refreshing person to meet. Her personality was as sharp as a cat's claws, but she was also pleasurable enough company. She was a very fascinating person to talk to and had a lot of insight. He would have to say out of all the teachers, she was his favorite.

Other than nothing happened except for the fact the Snape was trying everything to get on Inuyasha's last nerve, and it was working.

Harry and Hermione were helping the Weasley family get everything together at the Weasley abode for the Order meeting that was happening next week. The children had really let their rooms fall apart and the living room was in pieces due to a prank gone bad by Ron and Harry. They were never going to be as good and the twins when it came to pranks. So the Mr. Weasley was cleaning their room, Mrs. Weasley was cleaning the kitchen, Ron and Harry was cleaning the living room and then had to clean their rooms, while Hermione and Ginny were cleaning the room that they shared.

Let's just say it was working progress that just started working.

Harry and Ron still had to clean the goop that had gotten everywhere. This was their punishment. And they still were playing around as they cleaned, making their work load longer to finish. It wasn't until Hermione and Ginny came down after cleaning their room did the boys buckle down when the girls yelled at them to hurry up.

The only thing that Ron could mumble while under the watchful eye of the female teenagers was 'Girls.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Snape was sitting at a long table with his usual sneer on his face. The image blacked out and in its place was a very angry Snape covered in some kind green goop while all the adults that sat at the same table were either laughing their asses off or trying to hide their laughter out of respect.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Are you alright?" a familiar voice came to his ears as he snapped out of visionary trance. It sounded female and worried. Inuyasha blinked a few times before shaking his head little and looking at a very worried Ms. McGonagall. He blinked in surprise at how close she was and at the hand that was on his shoulder before he realized what just happened. He had a vision. But about what?

"Ms. McGonagall? Uh… hello. What are doing here?" he looked around and saw that he was in the same hallway that he had been walking down to get to his room.

Ms. McGonagall removed her hand before answering with, "Looking for you. Albus wishes for you to see him in his office. And I told you, Inuyasha. Call me Minerva." She said with a small, tight, smile.

Inuyasha laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Uh… sure. Thanks, Ms… Minerva." He corrected himself. "Well… see ya later." He said as he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. He could still feel McGonagall's worried eyes looking at him as he turned the corner.

As he walked toward the headmaster's office he thought over the vision that he had gotten. It obviously involved Snape in some way and it seemed to be some kind of prank. But when would it happen and how. He just hoped he was around when it happened. It would certainly be a big surprise for Snape and a big laugh for everyone. He would to carry a camera until it happened. Just for memories.

As he chuckled at the images that he had seen, he hadn't noticed that he was already in front Dumbledore's office. The door opened and of course it was Albus on the other side. He looked at him curiously at Inuyasha, who still a laughing grin on his face. "What's so funny, Inuyasha my boy?"

Inuyasha immediately calmed, "Nothing sir." He cleared his throat and walked into Albus's office. As many times as Inuyasha had walked in here, it still ceased to amaze him. "Now, what was it you wanted to see me about?" he changed the subject.

"Oh yes. Take a seat." which Inuyasha did willingly as he sat behind his desk. "Now Inuyasha, there are a few things that I need to tell you that I did not tell here nor in Japan when I met you." There was pause as the aura around Dumbledore tensed slightly, immediately putting Inuyasha on edge.

"Yes?" Inuyasha asked hesitantly. 'This better not be more than what I bargained for.' He thought.

"Yes… well… a long time ago, the British Wizarding World was being terrorized by an evil tyrant named Tom Riddle who had changed his name to Lord Voldemort. He was a cruel and powerful wizard who believed that only wizards of pure magical blood should deserve to exist on this planet. He and his follower, who are called Deatheaters, had continuously caused havoc throughout the entire nation and a few outer nation as well." He paused again to organize his thoughts which Inuyasha gave him time to do.

"Though, however his reign was temporarily finished, when he was destroyed by a curse that he had cast that rebounded onto him, ripping him from his body."

"Okay, but what does the history lesson have to do with anything?" Inuyasha asked somewhat impatiently. He wanted to know what he was being pulled into now.

"Well, you see. He was reborn only a couple years ago by one of his followers, ever since then he has once again been doing what he had been doing before. During the first war, there was a resistance called the Order of the Phoenix that I had organized way back when that I had reinstated in secret only a year ago. Mr. Zareh has told me that you are very skilled in what you do and I believe that you could be a great asset to the Order. I must tell you that if you join you must speak none of this to anyone outside the Order. The Ministry has no knowledge of the group because they would certainly not approve of it. Our headquarters must always be a secret." He stressed the last part so that Inuyasha understood that that was very important.

Inuyasha looked down at his hands in thought. A moment later he asked, "Will I be able to kick ass?"

Albus chuckled a little before saying, "Yes… at times you will have to."

Without a second thought, Inuyasha stuck his hand out for Albus to shake, "You got yourself a new member." he said with a smirk.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ronald! Be careful with that! There's hot soup in that pot!" Mrs. Weasley yelled as Ron carried the pot outside to the lengthened picnic table. Today was the day of another Order meeting but before that everyone would have hearty lunch. Mrs. Weasley would have to say that she had outdone herself today. She had almost everything for lunch for about forty people and much more for people who would want seconds. People were already arriving through the fireplace in the living room.

Tonks had come early to help out, but as Mrs. Weasley had learned from past experiences, there weren't many things that Tonks could do without anybody getting harmed in the process. So she told her to watch and keep track of people coming in. Gave her a list everything. It was a job so easy that she couldn't possibly get hurt and still felt helpful as well.

Mrs. Weasley was still putting the finishing touches to her meals, a nice safe place to watch Tonks just in case something did happen. Soon the members started flood in. Tonks was checking names off the list and soon everyone was there except for…

"Hagrid." Tonks mumbled as she stood up and stretched. She had been sitting in that seat for a good three hours. She looked towards the fireplace and saw that the green fire was spinning meaning that Hagrid was coming through… and they hadn't enlarge the chimney yet!

She ran to the kitchen where Mrs. Weasley so she could do the spell. She was no good with that sort of charm work. "Mrs. Weasley! Hagrid's coming!"

Mrs. Weasley looked at her with wide eyes and dropped the glass that she had been washing in the sink. She ran into the room with Tonks following close behind. "Tonks, tell Hagrid to not come yet! We're not ready!" she ordered as she took out her wand.

Tonks walked closer to the fireplace to tell Hagrid to stop but it was too late. A black missile shot out of the green embers and ran right into Tonks, making her fall to the ground. Surprisingly the person that was on top of her wasn't even close to the size of Hagrid nor looked anything like him.

It was a young woman who, when she untangled herself dizzily from Tonks, was a very beautiful woman. She had long raven hair tied into a loose ponytail and bright lilac eyes. Her clothes were simple and muggle; a red t-shirt and a pair of blue pants that she thinks are called jeans. She looked rather delicate.

As she dusted herself off and pick up a little yellow kitten that she must've brought with her, Tonks jumped and asked, "Who are you?"

The girl looked at her, smiled slightly and answered, "Inuyasha. I'm new to the Order. Just joined last week." Her voice was deeper than they had expected from her face.

Mrs. Weasley cleared he throat, making Inuyasha turn towards. She smiled at Inuyasha and said, "This way dear. I'm Mrs. Weasley and this is my home." She grabbed Inuyasha's arm and walked her outside. She was about to go to the table before she remembered that she still a Hagrid to take care of and went back inside.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mundungus was already feasting on everything he could get his hands on. He really didn't care right then about manners. He hadn't had decent meal in weeks. Usually it was just take out. To finally have a home cooked meal was heaven to him. He was just finishing off his plate gravy-drizzled turkey legs when the most beautiful creature he had ever seen walked through the back door of the Weasley home. He couldn't think of another time where he had seen such a pretty woman in his memory. He looked around and noticed that the girl had captured other men's attentions as well.

The girl bent down to put the yellow kitten that he just noticed she had carried in her arms and the cat automatically ran off into the field where the teenagers were at. The woman began walking to the table and had decided to sit at almost the end of the table. As soon as he sat, not a second later one of the men decided to go up and talk to her. Some men looked at the man in envy as he seemed to be the only one with the courage to go up to her. The man sat beside her and tried to engage her in conversation

The girl seemed to be trying to ignore him but the man seemed to not take no for an answer. Finally, she turned towards him with a smirk on her face as she gestured for him to move closer. She whispered something in his ear that made the guy's eyes widen in what looked like shock. In less than second the man stood up, toppling his chair over in his haste, and walked vigorous back to his original seat, stilling seeming to be shocked. Other men walked to him, to ask him what was wrong. He said something in a hurry voice and his words seemed to also shock the other as well as they looked back at the female in disbelieve. Mundungus turned back to the girl who had a hand over her mouth as she seemed to be laughing at the man's misfortune. That's when the girl started to pile food on her plate. It looked like she had a bigger appetite than most women.

That's when Hagrid walked in. At seeing the girl, Hagrid smiled behind that big scraggly beard of his and thundered, "Inuyasha! There you are. Spare a seat?" He set as stormed toward the woman. She toothily smiled and held out a hand to the nearest chair. Hagrid sat down, started piling tons of food on his plate, and dug into his meal. Instead of being disgusted like most girls would be, Inuyasha just sat up and dug in as well.

After a few more minutes of staring at Inuyasha, he decided to eat his own meal as well. Inuyasha looked down the table and smiled. She got up and walked father up the table the table. Mundungus looked up from his meal to watch her every move as she walked. She walked past him and he couldn't help but look at her butt as she moved. She stopped a little bit farther in the center of the table and stopped right next to Tonks. She bent down to and started talking to her. Tonks smiled at her shyly while Inuyasha smiled a toothy grin. She stood up and was walking back to her seat. As she walked past him again, he couldn't help himself. He checked her on the butt.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Inuyasha was laughing his ass off. Man that was funny as shit! That guy ran off like the devil was on his hills. And it was even funnier when he told other guys the truth about him. He was digging into a piece of chicken when Hagrid came in followed by Mrs. Weasley. He couldn't help but laugh when Hagrid sat down and immediately started shoving everything he could reach down his throat.

Inuyasha started looking down the table to see the other members. He stopped as something neon pink caught his attention. It was that girl that he had run into. Well, more like bombarded into, but whatever. He didn't even apologize. With that thought, he got and walked over to the strange haired woman. The girl was talking to probably some friend and when Inuyasha bent down to talk to her, she jumped a meter in her seat. After a small laugh from her friends and Inuyasha, he said, "Hey. I just wanted to apologize from drilling you into the ground like that earlier. I'm not really used to floo powder that much."

"Oh. It's no problem. I do stuff like that all the time. I'm Tonks by the way."

"Well it's nice to meet you Tonks. Now if you excuse I'm going to eat some more food before Hagrid gets it all."

"Yeah wouldn't want that, would we?" they laughed and then Inuyasha stood up.

He was walking to his seat when he felt someone squeeze his ass. He gasped and turned around in a second and saw the perpetrator. The little asshole had the audacity to look rueful. In less than a second, Inuyasha socked him one right in the nose. The guy flew out of chair and skidded across the floor right behind Tonks' chair. Some people stood up in surprise at the sudden commotion.

The man sat up groggily, holding a bloody nose and looked at her him with wide eyes.

"Perverted asshole!" Inuyasha screamed in rage.

Mrs. Weasley walked over at that time, "What is going on here?" she asked in aggravation.

"This perv checked me, that's what happened!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.

Mrs. Weasley and several others looked at the bleeding man in anger and annoyance. Mrs. Weasley turned back to him apologetically, "I'm sorry… Inuyasha? Mundungus doesn't usually act this way toward most of the woman in the Order, but it isn't unexpected by the way he acts most of the time."

"Oh yeah that's great news except for the fact that I'm a boy! I am not a girl!"

There was a second's silence before the black man that had sat across from Tonks stood up and pointed a finger at her, "Aha! I told you he was male. In your face!" he said with big grin on his face. That aroused some laughter, but none from Inuyasha as he turned around and walked back to his seat, not really in the mood to eat but ate anyway since he skipped breakfast.

Some people helped the man named Mundungus into the house to heal his broken nose, but he seemed to be in shock of having checked a male.

Inuyasha ate for few moments before putting a few big pieces of grilled fish on a plate and pouring cold milk in a bowl, got up, and walked away from the table to look for Kilala to give her lunch.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny were just hanging around in the great open fields behind the Weasley's house putting their minds together on what they could do. Hermione and Ginny were leaning back to back, while Harry and Ron laid on the grass; Harry on his back, Ron on his stomach.

"We could play wizards chess?" Ron recommended.

Harry groaned, "To tell you the truth, Ron, I'm not really in the mood to lose to you in wizards chess right now." Ron looked at him indignantly before laying his head down on the grass. He wasn't in the mood to be offended.

"We could play tag?" Ginny said. Everyone looked at her like she was insane.

"What are you? Eight?" Ron said.

"Well, I thought we were bored enough to do just about anything right now." She retorted

"Except for that." Hermione mumbled. A spark of inspiration went of in her eyes as she said, "We could-"

"No." Ginny, Harry, Ron all grumbled at the same time.

Hermione glared at the space in front of her, "Hey! You didn't even hear what I was going to say."

Ron sighed and sat up Indian style. "Hermione, whenever we are bored and have nothing to do, you always recommend that we could study or do homework or read a book. None of us want to do that."

"Well what do you suggest we do, Mr. Smartypants." she snapped. Her face slightly reddened; reading a book was exactly what she was going to say.

That's when they heard it. A small meow. "You here that?" Harry asked sitting up.

"Yeah, but where is it coming from." Another meow sprang forth.

"Uh, duh Hermione. It's obviously coming from a cat." Ron said, shaking his head at the stupid question.

Hermione rounded her eyes on him and looked at him fiercely as she stood up, "Of course it's a cat, Ron. I meant 'where is the cat'?"

That's when they heard the excited squeal of Ginny. "Ah. It's so cute."

Everyone turned towards her and then followed their eyes to what she was looking at. Hermione also squealed Harry and Ron simply laid back on the ground.

It was a small little yellow kitten. It had two big eyes with red irises in the center of them. It cocked it head to the side and mewed another time making the girls ah. Ron pretended to gag while Harry just laughed at him. Ginny bended down to the kitten and started to coax it to come to her. The cat seemed to appraise her for a few moments before ambling into her into outstretched arms. The girls started to fuss over the poor thing.

"It must belong to one of the members."

"But who. We never saw this cat before." There was glimmer from around the cat's neck and that's when they noticed it was wearing a collar. It was made out of beautiful red leather and attached to it was a small gold circle that read 'Kilala' in black paint.

"Kilala?" Ginny said.

"That's a weird name." Ron declared from his spot on the ground.

"Oh hush, Ron. It's obviously a foreign name. Sounds sort of Asian." Hermione stated.

"Kilala!" they heard a male voice yell. "Kilala! Where are ya, girl?"

The cat's ear perked up and she started to squirm to get out of Ginny's grasp. A person walked over the hill bend as Ginny put Kilala down. The cat walked over to him and the other's followed to meet her owner.

"Oh there you are Kilala. I got your lunch like I promised. Grilled fish; just how you like it. And a nice bowl of cold milk to wash it down." He put it down on the ground so that Kilala could eat and drink all that she wanted. As she ate, he gave a few scratches behind the ear to which Kilala purred in satisfaction to before he stood up and looked at the group that had followed her.

The person had a rather pretty face with long black hair and bright lavender eyes. Ginny, Hermione, Harry knew immediately that it was a guy. There was a just a feeling about him that told them the truth. Ron, on the other hand…

"Hey… uh... Are you single?" he said with a blush. Harry could tell that that was the pick up line that the twins had given him and Ron. Harry knew immediately it would never work, and it certainly was going to work now. The guy looked at him with weirdly before bursting into barking laughter. Ron looked flustered for a second at being laughed at when Hermione pulled him aside and whispered loudly, "Ron! That's a guy, you idiot!" then she let him go to leave him to his own dumbfound.

Harry decided to end the awkward silence, "Uh hi. Are you a member of the Order?" he asked.

"Yeah I am. Hi, I'm Inuyasha." He took stuck out a delicate looking hand for Harry to shake, which he did.

"I'm Harry, and this is Hermione, Ginny, and Ron." He pointed to each person as he introduced.

"How can you be part of the Order? How old are you, anyway." Ron inquired.

"Seventeen."

"Do you have a job? Where are you from?" Ginny asked. To Harry, it seemed like an interrogation. Some of them were still sort of angry at the fact that they couldn't join the Order just because they 'weren't old enough'.

"I'm a scientist and auror for the Japanese Ministry."

"How long have you worked there?" Harry could tell that Inuyasha was starting to irritated by the constant questioning.

"Nine years."

"Nine years! But in order for you to work that long you would have had to join at like eight."

"Yeah. I did." Inuyasha noticed that Kilala was finished with her meal and picked up the plate. He bent down to give a nice petting before standing, "Well I gotta go. The meeting's going to start soon. See you soon."

"Uh. Bye." Harry said awkwardly.

When he was sure that Inuyasha was out of earshot, he turned towards the other teens. "Well, that was real nice you guys." He stated sarcastically as he bent down to pick up Kilala.

"What do you mean, mate?" Ron asked obliviously.

"What was with the interrogation? He's old enough to join the Order, isn't he? So why give him the third degree." He said in annoyance as he scratched Kilala behind the ears. She purred a little at his ministration.

"Oh come on, Harry. He looked way too delicate to be an auror, or even know how to fight for the Order!" Ron argued. Ginny silently agreed while Hermione stayed still and silent.

"Dumbledore trusts in his abilities to let him join and that's good enough for me." He looked back at the direction Inuyasha had gone. "Besides, haven't we always learned that looks are usually always deceiving? He's probably very skilled at his job."

Everyone was silent as they thought of this. The only sound was of Kilala still purring as Harry absentmindedly still scratched behind her ear.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The meeting was started off with Dumbledore doing a broad introduction of Inuyasha to the group. All Inuyasha did towards that was standing, bow, and sit back down. He wasn't really in the move for anything more after the Mundungus thing. Speaking of him he was absent. 'Probably still nursing that broken nose I gave him.' Inuyasha thought with a smug smile.

He looked at all the members and his eyes landed on Severus who sat across from him. He suddenly got a feeling of deja vu. Then it hit him. 'My vision!' He smiled at the thought of Severus getting what's been coming to him. But then he thought to himself, "Ya know, I shouldn't let this happen. I've already seen it myself so what's the worst that could happen if nobody else did. And beside if he doesn't listen to me about moving, well that that's no shit off my back." With this last thought. He sat up in his seat leaned over closer to Severus to whisper the warning in his face.

"Mr. Snape." He whispered, trying to be polite. He pointedly ignored him. So Inuyasha, being the generous person he was, whispered his name again. This time he looked at him. Well… not really look at him. It was more a sneer mixed with a glare. Inuyasha, not wanting to talk to Severus anymore than he wanted to him, started talking while Dumbledore was talking about some rumor he heard with he was vacationing in the States.

"Umm… you might not want to sit there today. It would be a bad idea."

Instantly, Severus', if it could, glare darkened further. "What? Don't want me to sit near you? Do I make you look bad, Takashi? Am I uglying up your image." he whispered spitefully.

Inuyasha controlled the urge to roll his eyes and took a claming breath before continuing. "No, Mr. Snape. I'm just telling you that you would not want to sit there today is all I'm saying. There's a nice seat a meters down if you would like to sit there. Just anywhere but here." He said hurriedly.

"Well, I'm sorry Takashi but I will not move just because you can't bear to be near me. Now shut up and leave me alone."

"Is there something wrong, boys?" Dumbledore said loudly. Severus and Inuyasha turned there heads toward Dumbledore, who had a risen eyebrow at the bickering two.

Severus sat back in his seat while staring at Inuyasha with an emotionless look. "Nothing, Albus. Just some useless information that Takashi was trying to share with me. Please continue."

Inuyasha that time did roll his eyes as he also sat back in his seat, crossing his arms in the process as everyone's attention on them transferred back to Dumbledore as he continued his tale. They glared daggers at each other before trying to ignore each other presence all together by listening to Dumbledore.

Somehow, a waterfall of green, goopy slime from nowhere fell from the ceiling and right onto Severus sneering, butt-faced head. The people near him got sprinkled with a few droplets; even Inuyasha got a few drops. But Severus got the full force. When the flood ended and shut off five seconds later, Severus was soaked to the marrow. Everyone, once they got over the shock, started laughing and Inuyasha happily joined him. The stuff had run all over the table and floor and Inuyasha could tell that Severus was about to explode in three… two… one…

"YOU!" he took out a slime covered wand as he stood and pointed at Inuyasha right in the middle of his forehead. Inuyasha wasn't intimidated in the slightest. In fact, he gave him a smug smile

"I tried to warn you to move but you chose not to listen. This is your own fault for being a stubborn ass-hole." Some people giggled. Severus had a curse at the tip of his tongue when Dumbledore finally stepped in.

"Severus stop!"

"But Albus, he's the one who did this! He-"

"Enough! Get yourself cleaned up and only when you have calmed down you can return, understand?"

Severus didn't answer him, though. He glowered at Inuyasha; his eyes holding a promise of revenge before he walked angrily out the door, tracking slime as he walked out. Inuyasha's eyes followed him as he left.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yes, Mr. Dumbledore." He said cheerfully as he looked at Dumbledore.

"Did you do that?" He asked.

"Sir… I can 100 honestly say that I absolutely had nothing to do with that prank. No matter how much Mr. Snape deserved it." He wasn't lying. He hadn't been part of the prank. He had just foreseen and known about it. And that's all Dumbledore asked about.

"Inuyasha-"

"He's telling the truth, Albus." Mrs. Weasley stood up. She blushed slightly when everyone looked at her. "I know who did it. Harry and Ronald. They had been trying prank and it backfired a few days ago. I suppose they had forgotten to get rid of the spell. But don't worry. I'll be sure to make them clean up the mess and get rid of the spell." Some laughed at that.

"Oh well… let's move on then." Dumbledore said. Then the meeting really went underway that the foolishness ended.

Inuyasha would have to say that the meeting was basically made of rumors and suspicions. Once Severus came back in (he sat a few feet away from Inuyasha) he had said that from his stand point, nothing was going as of yet. But it seemed that Voldemort was waiting for something. What that something was, Inuyasha nor anyone else knew anything about; just that he was waiting for something to show up and when it did, that would be his main target.

The meeting ended way earlier because there wasn't much to speak of but some people still stuck around to talk to each other. Inuyasha decided to stay as well since Kilala seemed to be enjoying the nice open environment. Inuyasha laid his back on the grass while Kilala ran around trying to catch butterflies before deciding to nap on his stomach. Inuyasha was starting to dose off as well when he felt eyes upon him. He opened his eyes to see a man hovering above his face. He wore a rather shabby trench coat and he seemed to be really haggard and gaunt with deep black circles under his eyes. One sniff and Inuyasha immediately knew that he was werewolf. 'No wonder. Being one of those has to be a pain in the ass. Question is why is he just staring at me like that.'

"Uh… excuse me personal space please." He said grumbled as he stood up, catching Kilala before she tumbled to the ground.

The cat hissed her distasted of being improperly handled before trying to go to sleep in his arms.

"You're not human." The man said bluntly, garnering a face of confusion.

Inuyasha looked at him in surprise before smirking, "Oh. I forgot that werewolves have much better sense of smell than humans." The man was stunned that Inuyasha also knew that he wasn't entirely human either. Inuyasha's smirk grew into a charming smile, "People call me Inuyasha Takashi. And you?" he stuck out a hand to be shook. The man hesitated before taking his hand in his own and shook it briefly.

"Lupin. Remus Lupin." He said. He couldn't help himself as he asked, "What are you? I don't think I've ever smelt blood like yours before."

"Inuyasha."

"Well… yes that is your name, but what is your species."

Inuyasha sighed exasperatedly, "We've been over this. Inuyasha. We could do this all day if you wanted." He decided that it was time for him to go and walked past the man to go back to the house.

"Wait." Inuyasha paused in mid-step and turned his head in Lupin's direction. "At least give me a hint."

"I already did." He gave him another charming smile. "Inuyasha… see ya." After giving a mock salute to the bewildered man, he walked back away with Kilala tucked snuggly in his arms.

End of Chapter 5

AN: Well that's it. Whew. To tell the truth, this was going to be WAY longer. I was planning to write so much more. But then I realized that was getting on too many subjects all at once so I decided to take some stuff and use it for the next chapter. Hey, look on the bright side. I've already have about ¼ of the next chapter done so you don't have to wait so long this time. I once again apologize for the long wait. I'm also trying out a new story as well so look out for that as well. Cya.
