Uhh.. Well, I started this chapter in October... Half a year after the second chapter... And it's April now, so... Sorry to anyone who's actually following this thing XP

Chapter Two

Yuki walked down to the Great Hall with other Slytherins to get some lunch. He briefly wondered how Shuichi was doing but quickly moved on to other thoughts. He had a flying lesson with Madam Hooch and then 'Charms' with professor Flitwick. He skimmed his time table to see what kind of classes students at this school took. One particular class caught his interest – 'Defence Against the Dark Arts' with Professor Quirrell. 'Sounds interesting.' The lunch break was almost finished and Shuichi still hasn't shown up. 'He must really be in deep shit if that sour-faced professor is keeping him this late. Or maybe he got lost.' Yuki scoffed. 'It would be just like him to get lost on his way out of the dungeons and end up in an underground labyrinth or something... Ah well, he'll turn up eventually... Probably...'

"Come on, break's over, Eiri." Draco told him and got up to leave. Yuki followed him to their next class.

"What do you do in defence against the dark arts?" He asked the other boy.

"You just learn about how to defend yourself against monsters and curses and stuff, what did you think? That new guy, Professor Quirrell is our teacher this year. That's one unlucky subject, people say that it's cursed because no one ever stays for more than one year. Don't you know anything about Hogwarts? What are you – a filthy mudblood?" He asked, disgusted at the prospect of talking to a muggle-born.

"No, I just never was interested enough to find out." Eiri said, annoyed at Malfoy's attitude. He wanted to smack the punk to the ground but noticed that he was sort of a Slytherin leader, at least to the first years, so it was safer just to ignore that stuck-up attitude of his. Yuki had no idea what the words 'mudblood' meant but it must've been something pretty bad. He'll have to ask Shuichi about that later. They went outside, to some small field behind the school, and gathered around the teacher. When the whole class arrived, including Shuichi, they all lined up in two rows with their brooms lying flat on the ground in front of them. Shuichi was so excited about the prospect of flying – actually flying! - on a broom, like a real wizard, that he was almost literally bursting with excitement. Yuki had never seen him this excited about something. Well, something not Yuki-related... His excitement level was pretty close to the time they went to Disneyland Tokyo.

Everyone was quiet and Madam Hooch instructed them to step up to their brooms, stick their hands out over them and say 'up'. 'What a dumb instruction...' Yuki thought sceptically. He was surprised when some of the students' brooms listened to the idiotic command right away. He thought he might as well give it a try so he stepped up to the side of his broom, stuck his right hand out and called "Up!" The stick moved slightly but nothing more than that happened. "Up!" He repeated, irritated. It moved again, then lay still again. "Up!" Eiri growled. His patience was leaking out like water from a broken cauldron and it was starting to show. When the broom again refused to listen to its master, he glared at it as if trying to make it listen and told it sternly "Up." It lifted a bit, then fell back down. Angry at the useless stick of wood and straw, he looked around to see how other students were getting on. A good few of them already had their brooms in their hands. He searched for Shuichi and was relieved to see that he was struggling as well. Though his broom was more responsive, it just didn't go where he wanted it to. That put Yuki's mind at ease and he renewed his attempts at making the stupid broom listen to his command. After a few more unsuccessful attempts, the dumb thing finally flew up into his outstretched palm. He looked around again with a satisfied look on his face.

Shuichi was growing really annoyed with his broom. It responded to his voice, just not in the way he wanted it to. "UP!" He yelled at it again and again, the stick shot up – and hit him on the side of his leg, making him fall down. 'It's making fun of me!' He thought and almost started crying. It was so disappointing! Here he was at Hogwarts and had the chance to FLY but his stupid broom wouldn't listen to him! "Up! up. Up. Up! UUUUUPPPP!" He yelled louder and louder, earning a few stares from the other kids. The broom finally shot up into his hand and he laughed, delighted. 'It worked! I can do magic!' He giggled. When everyone had their brooms in hand, Madam Hooch told the class to mount them. Shuichi got on his broom, hardly able to contain his growing excitement. It was as if a bright, bubbly aura surrounded the boy and little maniacal giggles kept escaping his lips. When the teacher told them to kick off and hover in the air, he jumped up with enthusiasm and sat down on his broom. He managed to stay up in the air... For about a second and a half... With a loud 'thud', the boy landed on the ground with a disappointed look on his face. He got up and tried again. And again, and again, and again. Each time, he only managed to stay up a few seconds before he lost control and fell.

Eiri watched the singer's attempts with a smirk. To him, it looked like Shuichi was jumping up too suddenly to actually keep himself suspended in the air for a long time. Yuki gripped his broom firmly and gently kicked off. Nothing magical happened – he just landed back on his feet. The writer frowned at the long stick that didn't want to cooperate with him. 'Just go up you damn twig...' He thought and tried again. This time, he managed to stay up for a whole second before the broom fell limp again. He concentrated very hard and willed his broom to stay up in the air for more than two seconds but his efforts were broken by a loud squeal of delight coming from a certain hyper singer.

Shuichi hovered in the air for a whole minute without falling off or anything and touched back down, grinning from ear to ear. He did it – he could fly! He looked over to his older lover and it suddenly struck him how cute the writer looked. He was a little boy in a Hogwarts uniform, trying to learn to fly. The sight of Eiri hovering unstable on the broom was just so precious to the singer, he wished he'd have a camera to capture this precious moment. It was just so adorable to the singer that he had a very strong urge to glomp the novelist with all his strength. It took all of his self control to stay where he was, just admiring his love.

"What's that Shindou guy staring at you like this for?" Malfoy snorted from beside Yuki. "It's like he has a crush on you or something. Eew." The usual high-and-mighty tone of voice really irritated Eiri. He promised himself that if he'd just last long enough, he could smack the damn punk to the ground just before they went home. That thought was the only thing that kept him from turning the boy into a black and purple pancake in front of the whole class when they had no idea how to get out of there.

"Yeah, right." Eiri scoffed. "It looks to me like you're the one he's staring at... Are you secretly into little boys?" It would be best to end this subject quickly, he'd give out to Shuichi later for gazing at him like that in the middle of a class.

"Ugh, you're disgusting." He said as if Yuki just asked him if he likes eating cow dung. 'Oh yeah, this isn't set in the present, is it?' He remembered that the series always had a kind of old-fashioned feeling about them. The writer smirked to himself, maybe it would be easier to hide their relationship than he thought... Some annoying noise caught his attention and he looked up to see some Gryffindork – hey, that would make a nice nickname... - rising higher and higher up on his broom. The kid looked like he was about to piss himself! From the murmurs of the crowd of students around him, Yuki guessed that the boy's name was Neville. The teacher tried to grab him to pull him back down but it was useless – he was already too high up to reach. The whiny kid completely lost control of his broom and Eiri watched as he flew around the towers and archs wildly and finally fell from the broom to hang from what could be a flag pole, then fell to the ground with a loud 'thud!'. It seemed that he broke his arm or something, because the teacher took him to the infirmary. As she was leaving, she told the class firmly to stay on the ground. He smirked – she just left a whole class of witch and wizard students with brooms, after they'd learned how to hover on a broom. And she expected them all to just stand there quietly? While he was lost in those unimportant thoughts, the students gathered in a circle around something. Curious as to what could interest them so much, he walked over to see that Draco was holding some red orb and that goody-two-shoes Harry Potter kid was trying to get it back. As expected, Malfoy flew away on his broom and Potter followed him. What an idiot...

"Wow! Isn't it amazing, Yuki?" Shuichi walked up to him with wide eyes. He was obviously enjoying being here. Since everyone else was distracted by the two idiots flying around the school buildings full of witnesses, he decided it was okay to talk to the singer for a little while. "Look! Look!" He yelled excitedly and jumped on his broom, preparing to take flight.

"What are you doing, you moron? That teacher will be back soon, you wanna get in even more trouble?" Not that it would really matter if he did, since they were leaving here as soon as possible, but he'd have to endure all that whining if Shuichi couldn't enjoy being here due to all the detentions...

"I won't get in trouble! Madame Hooch won't be back for a while! It all seems to be going just like in the movie! Neville broke his arm and lost his Remembrall, Malfoy took it and Harry's trying to get it back, then Professor McGonnagal will see Harry fly and she'll make him Gryffindor's seeker!"

"Huh.." It kind of calmed him down to see that at least one of them knew what was happening here.. Not that he understood what the weird words Shuichi used meant, but they didn't sound important. "That reminds me, what's a mudblood?"

"A mudblood? It's a mean name for a muggle-born..."

"And what's a muggleborn?" He asked, letting his irritation show. He hated to be the one not knowing anything and it felt to him like Shuichi was taunting him...

"A person who has muggle parents..."

"And what's a friggin muggle? You know I don't know any terms used in this world!"

"A muggle is a non-magical person..."

"Good to kn-"

"Alright, everyone!" Madame Hooch's voice interrupted Yuki.

"Awww! I didn't even get to fly!" Shuichi whined as he went over to where everyone else was standing. Yuki ignored him and walked up to the other Slytherins. Malfoy was standing with some other kid-thugs, his lips stretched in a smug smile. Eiri looked around but couldn't find that Potter kid anywhere, 'He must've gotten caught.. How stupid.' The lesson finished and, although he didn't really get to fly, Shuichi seemed unusually happy... 'What's he so happy about? He keeps giggling!' The boy's behaviour annoyed him but he couldn't just walk up to him and ask what he finds so amusing... He guessed it must have something to do with the next class, Charms... Yuki smirked at the brat's predictability. A class where he can do magic. Of course.

"Heh.."

"What's so funny?" He startled at Malfoy's voice right next to him and cursed himself for the small slip-up. He didn't even notice the snake-boy as they were walking down the corridor, he was so distracted.

"Nothing." Yuki told him. "I was just thinking about that kid's face when he got caught flying." He was bluffing, of course. He didn't even see anyone taking him away but it was a logical answer and vague enough so Malfoy wouldn't suspect anything. To his relief, the boy next to him smirked.

"Yeah, he looked terrified, didn't he."

Eiri didn't answer but he did wonder what reason the blonde could have for hating Potter so much. This was only the second day of school, their first day of classes. It was yet another thing he had to ask Shuichi about. 'We'll sneak out of the dorms tonight. They did say that the third floor was off-limits, didn't they?'
