The morning came far too early, but that didn't bother Uryu too much. He was used to staying up late for reaserch reasons and it was really no surprise to Ichigo when he woke up to look over and see Uryu sitting up right in his bed reading the giant book that a teacher had given him. He didn't even know how Uryu gotthe book, but when he arrived at their Transfiguration class with Orihime and Chad, he saw Uryu already seated starting on the giant book. Now Uryu was fully done, snapping the book closed with a sigh. "Anything intersting? I wonder what is in that book that you ditched out on the Professor Slughorn for. Albus said you just ran out on them when they were walking."Ichigo said. Uryu rolled his eyes.
"There's actually a lot of interesting stuff in here. You should read it for yourself." Uryu said tossing the book into Ichigo's lap. Ichigo pushed the large partical off his bed so that it fell on the floor and streched out.
"Why should I bother reading it when you can just tell me what it say's if I need to know?" Ichgio asked. Uryu rolled his eyes. 'That book covered everything from the three hollows to the aftermath of the second wizarding war. It's amazing to tell the truth. I can't even beleive it all. It's horrible how a person's life can be destroyed by a person claiming something to be right or wrong. It's funny, if Professor Trelawney hadn't made that prediction, then Harry Potter wouldn't have found the ability to defeat Voldemort on his own at all!' Uryu thought. "Earth to Uryu, are you still there!" Ichigo snapped. Uryu glared at him as his mind came back to reality.
"Sorry, just thinking. What did yo want?" Uryu snapped. Ichigio smirked. He rolled his eyes and picked up the book, but put it back down without even opening it. Albus then sat up.
"Morining." he greated. Ichigo waved but kept his eyes on Uryu. 'Somethings really bothering him, but what!' Ichigo thought. He glanced back at the book. 'Maybe I will read it to find out what it is.' Ichigo thought. Chad and the other boy also woke up and the group headed down stairs. They went to the breakfast hall where they already found Rose, Hugo, James, Lily, and Orihime eatting their breakfast. As they sat down multipul owls flew in, dropping letters.
"Oh! That's so interesting!" Orihime cooed. Rose nodded.
"It's the morning mail." she said. A large barn owl dropped three letters in front of the group, one with each of the Potter children's name on them, followed by two for the Weasley's, and one with Uryu's name.
"You think it's from Urahara?!" Ichigo asked. Uryu shrugged as he tore it open and sighed in releif as it was written in japanese.
"It says 'I have read over your theory and I have to say that I agree with you, although it doesn't really explain the dragons and other beasts but that's a whole other matter entirly. I have received word that there is a slight disterbace in the school. Someone is causing harm to the spiritual pressure of the students, slowing draining away their spiritual pressure without them even noticing. This is a serious problem. I want the four of you to investigate on who it is, but be very careful! I have decided to send you guys some back up but they won't get there for at least a week or two so don't be expecting anyone until then. Best of luck, oh and if Ichigo is there, tell him that I decided to add some paint to his dormatory! -Kisuke' This doens't sound good!" Uryu said looking up at a now pissed off Ichigo, and an amused Chad and Orihime.
"So there's someone hurting the other students, then we have to find them. I wonder who he's sending to help us!" Orihime said with a grin.
"You can bet it's going to be trouble." Ichigo said.
"Is everything alright?!" Rose asked. Uryu nodded.
"Yah, just some minor details we had to go over with out guardian." Uryu said. She nodded, leaving them with the others to sort out their buisness. Uryu got up to leave when he collided into a person. He looked up from the floor to see that he had knocked down the individual as well. He was a young man, but still old enough to be an instructor. He had black hair and dark eyes and looked slightly crumpled from the crash. He smiled, then stood up and offered Uryu a hand.
"Sorry there, I didn't see you!" he said kindly. Uryu gave him an odd look, but acepted his hand up nonetheless.
"Im sorry, who are you?" Uryu asked.
"My name is Porfessor Gretal!" the man said. Uryu looked slightly off balance, having been more impolite to the instructor than he had wanted to.
"My appologies I..." Uryu started.
"Neh, it way my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going. So, your in Gryfendor. You must be those new sixth years! You guys will be starting my class today!" he said. Uryu nooded to confirm everything. "That's great, we have an interesting first lession for this year! I hope you enjoy it!" he said. Then he left. Uryu looked over at the others, and Ichigo burst out laughing.
"It's not funny Ichigo!" Uryu hissed. Then he turned to leave. "I also suggest you check the dorm soon since Kisuke mentioned it in his letter." Uryu said as he left. Ichigo ran past him!
After Ichigo cleaned up the blood red paint that now coated his bed thanks to Kisuke, they headed down to their defence against the dark arts class. Professor Gretal stood at the head of the room as they entered. Finally the bell rang. Gretal had a huge grin on his face as he climbed to his feet. "Good morning class. To start out the new year, I have planned an interesting lession for you all today! It is a magical creature that lives solely in the Celtic regions of the earth! It was a mirical the man managed to ceatch the one that he did, but I thought it would be an interesting thing to study!" the Professor said. He then opened a door and wheeled out a gold cage. Inside was a headless man! Well not exactly Headless, as it's head was held under his left arm. He looked young with dark brown hair and what little skin he had was like moldy cheese, and he wore an old irish suit. In his left hand was a whip that looked oddly familar to Ichigo and Uryu. Many of the students screamed or tried to leave the room.
"Is that...a human spine?!" Ichigo asked, refering to the whip. Gretal nodded.
"Today we're going to do a short lession on Dullahan! They are amazing creatures. Dullahan ride in black wagons pulled by horses with funeral objects covering it. When the Dullahan stops riding, they are where a person is due to die. When the dullahan calls out their name, they immediately perish. People have treid to block dullahan's by barricading roads and doors, but when a dullahan approches such blockades the locks and gates open themselves. Apperently they also do not like to be watched. If they see someone watching them, they will douse you in a basin of blood or even lash out your eyes with their whips. Can anyone tell me what their weaknesses are?" Gretal asked.
"Does a thing like that even have a weakness?" asked Orihime. Uryu nodded.
"It's gold isn't it?!" he asked, getting the entire classes attention.
"How did you know?!" Gretal asked, interesting in how Uryu found out so quickly.
"You said when a Dullahan wants to go somewhere that locks and gates open themselves for them to pass, but if the dullahan is in a place that it can't escape because there is something that it is afraid of in every direction then it won't move. The cage is made of gold, so that must mean it's weakness is gold." Uryu said. Rose nodded, agreeing with him.
"I see you two are going to be very intersting students. I may just have to keep a close eye on you Ishida." the man said. For some reason, Uryu didn't like that statement. Finally class ended and the group left. They were walking threw the halls when a boy suddenly grabbed James by the front of his cloak. James struggled against the boy and kicked him hard in the gut, forcing him to release him. James glared at the boy. The had black hair and a thin pointed face with pale skin.
"Who is this boy?" asked Ichigo.
"Your going to pay Potter!" the boy snarled. Uryu recoginized him as a Slytherin of the same year.
"I didn't even do anything to you Lestrange!" James yelled at the boy.
"Lestrange!?" Uryu asked. He knew that name was familar. They were Voldemorts most loyal supporters. James nodded.
"This is Cygnus Lestrange. His father is Rodolphus Lestrange." James said.
"Bellatrix's husbend!" Uryu remembered. The others gave him a surprised look but nodded just the same.
"After Bellatrix died Rodolphus found a new wife and they had a son. This his him." James said.
"It's thanks to your pathetic family that my father had to remarry, your grandmother killed my fathers first wife!" snarled Cygnus.
"And she tried to kill my mother!" James argued. Cygnus pulled out a want.
"Your starting to annoy me!" Uryu hissed. He hated bullies and this boy was just another one in the world that they had to deal with.
"You asked you four eyes, Rictusempra!" the boy shouted, aiming at Uryu. The attack blasted where Uryu had been standing, but to everyone's but Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad's surprise, Uryu wasn't there.
"Was that supposed to hit me?! Something that slow would never get near me." Uryu said, behind him. Cygnus turned to face Uryu, but Uryu was already walking away with his friends trying not to laugh at the others angrey but ridiculous face.
"How did you do that!?" Rose gasped at him.
"I don't think now's the time to explain." Uryu said as he pushed up his glasses. Then Uryu noticed a boy standing in the hall with blonde hair and sharp features. He recognized him from discription. It was Scorpious Malfoy.
"At least we know who to keep our eyes on now." said Ichigo with a smirk.

"Ichigo, why am I here?!" Uryu asked as he, Orihime, and Chad followed the Potters and Weasleys to the Quidditch field.
"Because you need to check this out too!" Ichigo said with a smirk. They were going to look over the game to see if they wanted to try out on Saterday with the others from the house.
"Ok, quick explination. There are seven players for each team, and three balls, and three hoops on each side of the field. Now there are three players called chasers. They're job is to ceatch a large red ball called a Quaffle and put it threw one of the three hoops. If they do, then they get ten points for their team. The Keeper, tries to defend the hoops." said James.
"So it's like football!" Orihime said, refering to the game that the idiot americans refer to as soccer! James nodded.
"Sure. Then you have two balls called bludgers. They fly around and try to knock people off their brooms. The teams each have two players called beaters who use bats to hit the bludgers so that they hit off the opposing teams players and not their own." explained James.
"Like baseball!" Orihime squeeled.
"Uhm...sure. Then there is the finale ball called the snitch. It is a small ball that you can barley see. The goal is to ceatch it with the player of the seeker. Your job as the seeker is to find the ball and get it before the other team does. If you do, then your team gets a hundred and fifty points and it ends the game. Usually they win. Got it?" he asked.
"Like hide-and-go seek!" Orihime said.
"Uhm...not quite Orihime." James said. She was a pretty scatterbrained girl at times.
"Let's try this, but how do we uhmm...get up there?" Ichigo asked. He knew if he was in his soul form he'd have no problem, neither would Uryu, but Orihime and Chad couldn't get up there, and neither could a normal human.
"We ride brooms." said James as if it was normal.
"LIKE HOCKY!" Orihime said.
"NO!" James said.
