A/N: Let me start by saying that I so so so sorry that I haven't had time to update. First I had to prepare for finals. Being a first year college student I had no idea what to expect. Let's just say that I didn't have a lot of time to breath. Then it was Christmas and well need I say more. But I have a lot of time until I start school again so I will focus on updating more. I guess I never did mention there would be spoilers. Hmm I can't remember if I did or not. Also I forgot to mention that Naru would be OOC. I never did like the fact that he and Mai danced around each other than that he will be the same Naru or as best as I can.

Disclaimer: I do Not own Ghost Hunt or Harry Potter. I DO however own a copy of the new Harry Potter movie!


Reunion with the Past

Chapter 5: Reunion amongst Friends

The room was warm and welcoming there was a big bed centered against a wall. There wasn't a lot of furniture only a small wardrobe and a bookcase.

The window that was opposite of the door gave a wonderful view of the woods outside. Mai made her way slowly and sat on the bed.

She slid to the center pulling her knees up against her chest and wrapping her arms around them. Naru stood still watching unsure of what to do next.

"I know they are here and I need to find them." Mai broke the silence and looked at Naru to gauge his reaction.

"And how do you plan on doing that. You said so yourself there are others what makes you so sure that it is them." His eyes narrowed he did not like the idea of Mai going off by herself.

"I just know okay." She whispered. She knew it was them and she was going to find them she needed to know and she wanted to help.

She untangled herself from her current position and stood. She was going out there now and nothing was going to stop her.

"You're not going alone." Mai turned to face him and raised an eyebrow. Silently questioning him, she saw it there in his eyes he wasn't going to back down.

She let out a sigh. "Fine but no one else is going, I can't keep track of everyone."

"And how are we leaving without them coming with us. You know they will want to know what you are up too." Mai smirked at him.

"Did you forget what I am? They won't know until it's too late to stop us from leaving." She extended a hand out to Naru. He looked at her questioningly.

She gave an exasperated sigh. She quickly closed the distance in between them, grabbed his hand and spun.

A suffocating darkness engulfed them as soon as he felt Mai's hand grab his. The darkness pushed against him, refusing to let him breathe.

And then it stopped. He glanced around and registered that they were deep in the forest. He looked at Mai and waited for an explanation.

"Well?" Clearly irritated that she wasn't saying anything just glancing about the forest.

"Well, what?" She spared him a glance and then looked down and noticed that their hands were still intertwined.

She released her hold and started walking. She could feel the magic in the air granted she wasn't an expert but she knew enough to know that the source was near.

He quickly caught up with her and spun her around so that she was facing him. "What was that!" His cool demeanor broken.

"Oh. We appariated. It is a form of travel in my world." She spun back around and continued walking.

"You could have warned me." She shrugged her shoulders.

"You would have asked too many questions and then we would have never made it out from that room." She looked at him sideways to see him smirk. She knew him too well.

They walked in comfortable silence for a few minutes. Mai broke it again after thinking about how he must be taking all of this.

"How are you?" He looked at her for a while before answering.

"Well I just found out that there are such things as witches and wizards and that there is a war going on." He was suddenly very aware of the fact that Mai might have every intention to join this war.

Before he could continue she spoke again. "It is a lot to take in isn't it." She sighed. " I wish I could have been able to tell you but there are so many factors. One we have to keep our world a secret you should never know about us. Two I didn't want to put in danger from my kind. Three if you knew you would make things difficult for me when it comes to leave. I saw it in your eyes when you realized that there was no doubt I would join upcoming war."

She glanced at him he was very quiet. She knew that he was trying to come up with a way to defeat her argument.

"I don't see why you have to go. I am pretty sure that it won't make a difference if you're there or not. I don't think you can be much help with your clumsiness." He looked over to see her flush in anger.

"You are right about one thing I will give you a hard time because you are not leaving." She knew that no matter what she said he would just argue with her.

There was no point when the time came she would leave. It would break her heart because she loved him but she needed to do this.

She pushed the thought away she still didn't know when the final battle would happen. She had a feeling it was quickly approaching until then she would savor each moment spent with Naru. She wasn't stupid enough to think she would come out of it alive.

She reached out and grabbed hold of Naru's hand again. Things were changing but he radiated safety and comfort and she would not waste the time she had with him.

Naru looked down at Mai and saw the internal battle waging within her. He knew that her mind was set to leave once the time came and he did the only thing he could do. He held on to her tighter.

She glanced up at Naru when she felt him hold her hand tighter and smiled up at him.

She glanced around. "We're getting closer it's just up ahead. The hard part will be getting them to see me before they leave."

She could feel it but how did she get around the barrier. Hermione was smart so there was no doubt she would have put up the strongest protections spells she knew.

After thinking for a bit longer she finally thought of something that might work. Mind you it would be difficult to pull off since she had never produced a talking patronus.

She focused and sent the message 'This is Mai. I have a feeling that it's you three but I'm not sure. Please I'm outside the barrier.'

She hoped that it would work. They had all seen her patronus and no one could duplicate it. She sank down onto the forest floor and Naru followed suit.

"Do you think they're going to come?" She looked at him but as always the mask was firmly in place.

"I don't know. I am sure that they are trying to figure out if it's really me or not." She sighed looking towards where the barrier started.

"You're aunt why isn't she with you?" Mai looked at him confused, Naru rarely started a conversation and especially a random one at that.

"She had to go off and help. Plus they would trace her to me, its better if they think I might be dead. I mean no one knows what happened to me so for all they know I could be dead." She knew that he had a lot of questions and the fact he couldn't uncover the answers by himself bothered him.

Mai stared at Naru for awhile before speaking. "When we get back home we will have a lot of time to talk. I know that you have a lot of questions and I also know that some have to wait." For a brief second shock graced his features but it was so brief that it might have never been there in the first place.

They sat in comfortable silence until a shout startled them and Mai jump to her feet. Naru silently raised himself off the ground. "MAI!" was chorused from the three people that had just appeared.

"Hermione!" A girl with bushy brown hair and eyes rushed forward and embraced Mai. Both girls had tears in their eyes when the two boys reached them.

As soon as Hermione released her a boy with longish red hair stepped forward and hugged her. Next to give Mai a hug was a boy with jet black hair and green eyes.

Mai stepped back and turned to Naru with a bright but watery smile. "Naru this Hermione, Ron, and Harry," She indicated by pointing at each person. "Guys this Naru my boyfriend." She finished with a slight blush.

They took turns shaking hands with Naru though they felt uncomfortably around his cool demeanor. "Mai I can't believe it's really you. We never knew what happened to you after fifth year." Hermione was the first to break the silence.

"I know you guys must be tired why don't you guys come back to base and later we can catch up." The trio exchanged glances and the readily agreed. Mai lead the way back to base. She was happy she had her old friends back for a little while. Naru trailed behind the four with a small smile on his face he was happy to see his Mai happy.
