Lavi & Tyki: *sweatdrop*
Allen: yeah...Tana-kun doesn't own -man or harry potter
last time:
'Easy, easy love. It's alright,' Lavi was saying, a hands making smooth circling motions on his back and head. Tana calmed to just hiccupping but he wouldn't be pushed back. It was only when Lavi shifted to get him into a better place did he look up, eye red rimmed, 'want to tell me about it love?' Lavi asked, pulling Tana onto his lap. Tana shook his head, clenching one hand into Lavi's shirt. They sat there, in the comfort of each other's presence as they slowly dropped off to sleep.
The day had come for them finally to go to Hogwarts, Harry's hearing had gone in his favour and Ron and Hermione were chosen as prefects. Harry, Tana and Allen walked through the barrier to the train and Harry said, 'I would have thought that you'd be more shocked at that then the twins' apparating in and out of rooms.' Tana chuckled, 'when you've seen some of the things we have you find you what to be scared of and what not to be scared of. Walking through things is one of them.' Allen nodded in agreement as they found a compartment.
Cross, Koumi, Krory and Miranda had vanished the night before; Lavi had gone with the twins after being reassured that Tana was fine by both brothers, Kanda had vanished and Lenalee was talking to Ginny, going off with her. Harry looked at Tana more closely, he had dark bags under his eyes and his expressions seemed more and more covering a worried expression. Harry shook his head looking at Allen who sighed and closed his eyes.
Tana nabbed the window seat, leaning his head against the window as he looked at all the parents waving their kids off. Allen and Harry were chatting to each other so they didn't notice when Tana narrowed his eye slightly and frowned.
They were soon moving off and Tana fell asleep by the window. He hadn't woken up until someone chucked a chocolate frog at his head for snoring. He sat up sleepily, rubbing his head and glaring at the article of food that had decided to disturb his peace. He looked up at a stifled laugh and chucked the frog right back at Ron as Harry started laughing, 'sorry Tana, but you started snoring and talking about food. We thought you might like some.'
Tana's mouth dropped open as he tried to speak, 'm-me? Talking about food as I sleep?! Impossible. That's Allen's job!' Allen chuckled, 'it's true Tana, I think you're spending too much time with me and Lavi.' Tana face palmed and muttered to himself. Tana watched the others in amusement for a while until the door opened. He looked up and his face cracked into an evil grin. Allen saw this and paled.
'What?' Harry snarled before the platinum blond had a chance to speak. Malfoy smirked, 'manners, Potter, or I'll have to give you a detention. You see, I, unlike you, have been made into a prefect which means, I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments.' Tana snorted, finally catching Malfoy's attention. He smirked once again looking him up and down as Malfoy paled a little, 'that includes those queers there.' Allen squeaked as Tana stood up, 'listen Malfoy, let's have a little talk shall we. Outside.'
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the other two looked at him as Allen said, 'Tana don't do anything stupid.' Tana smiled at them before pushing Malfoy out the door and following. Harry Ron and Neville all crowded to look down the hallway. They saw Tana with Malfoy against the wall, a calm look on his face as he lent closer, having to look up slightly. They could see the worried expression on Malfoy's face before he left and Tana returned a satisfied smile on his face.
He hummed as he opened the door and looked at the faces of the others. He chuckled as he said, 'well, that was fun. Hope Lavi doesn't get jealous.' The others stared at him as Allen scowled, 'what did you do Tana?' Tana smiled and tapped his nose as he picked up Crookshanks and sat back in his seat, putting the hissing cat back down in his lap to purr contentedly.
The rest of the train ride was less eventful, Tana falling back to sleep, whilst the others chatted about their holidays. They finally arrived at the school and the exorcists followed their friends to the carriages. Allen and Lenalee stopped, looking at what was pulling the carriage; some dragonish looking horse was standing between the shafts of the carriage. Tana walked thoughtfully up to them, eye glinting in fascination, ears perked under his hat, 'this is interesting,' he said, with a chuckle as he looked at the others, 'what do you guys think?' he reached out to pat it but it snapped at him, grabbing his arm in a vice-like grip.
Tana blinked once and looked at the jaw around his arm. The sharp teeth were sunk into his skin, causing the blood to start dripping down his arm. Allen gulped and darted forward, 'how do you always manage to have the most randomness stuff happen to you?' Tana just blinked, looking at the bite marks on his arm. Harry walked over and looked, 'doesn't that hurt Tana?' Tana blinked again and looked at him, 'luckily…no. if it did I would probably be screaming my head off about now.' He looked at Hermione with a sheepish grin as she turned up, 'Malfoy was being absolutely fo- Tana what happened to your arm?'
Tana rubbed the back of his head with his uninjured hand, 'oh um…whatever the creature that pulls the carriage…yeah it kinda bit me.' Hermione furrowed her brow in confusion as she pulled out her wand. Muttering a spell, bandages wrapped round his arm, she said, 'you realise there isn't anything pulling the carriages.' The exorcists blinked at her and Harry said, 'but Hermione-' she shook her head and stepped into the carriage, 'coming?' sighing the four of them followed Ron into the carriage.
Tana stuck his head out of the carriage window as they moved, watching the creatures with interest, before Allen sighed and pulled him back inside, 'Tana your doing it again.' Tana looked at him and grinned, 'I can't help it. Curiosity is in my nature.' Allen sighed as Tana stuck his head out the window again. He raised an eyebrow as he gasped and pulled his head back in, 'the castle looks even better at night.'
Harry chuckled; glad he was almost where he was meant to be. Home. They stepped off the carriage; Tana once again looked at the horse-like creature. Lenalee sighed and grabbed him away just in time as the creature lunged for him again, 'you're going to be in trouble one of these days. You remember the saying I told you.' Tana smiled innocently and averted his eyes.
Lenalee frowned and started lecturing him, slipping into her native tongue at which Tana frowned and answered her back in Chinese, 'Lenalee that's not fair, stop telling me off in another language. Allen can't help me.' She snorted, 'exactly why.' They stopped at a cough and looked up at professor McGonagall. They flushed and bowed, 'gomenasai' they both said as the professor raised an eyebrow, 'now that you are all hear and listening,' she shot a look at Tana and Lenalee who looked in opposite directions, 'you will be sorted into the four houses after the first years. You will be taking the 5th and 7th year lessons.'
They nodded and followed McGonagall into the hall with the first years. Tana slid back into his place next to Lavi who raised an eyebrow at the bite marks in his sleeve. But Tana just sighed and shook his hand, an annoyed expression on his face. He turned at Allen's sound and saw him staring at the table. Curious he scanned it as well, almost blanching when he saw Cross at the table. Cross smirked and took a sip out of his goblet.
The exorcists all turned at the hat that was placed on the stool. It had opened at the base and was singing. They were too preoccupied at the hat actually singing to worry about the song itself and when it finished McGonagall opened a list, 'Abercrombie, Euan.' A small, terrified looking boy went up and placed the hat on his head, his prominent ears the only thing stopping it falling to his shoulders. It was silent for a moment before it shouted, 'Gryffindor!' The boy took the hat off and walked over to the table.
This continued until 'Zeal, Wiccum' was sorted into Slytherin. At this point it was only the small group of exorcists that were left and Dumbledore stood up smiling, 'to our new comers, welcome. And to our old hands welcome back. As you can see we have some guests. They come from a school that accommodates not to magic, no, but to a lost art. I will delve further into this but for now, let them be sorted. I want you to welcome whoever you get into your house with welcome.' He sat back down and McGonagall brought out another scroll, 'Bookman, Lavi' Lavi swallowed as he walked up to the hat. He sat on the stool with it on and waited. Only a few moments went by before the hat yelled, 'Gryffindor!'
Lavi sighed, a grin on his face as he went to the table and sat between the Weasley twins who thumped him on the back with grins of their own, 'Kanda, Yuu' scowling Kanda made his way to the hat. Before it even went to his head it shouted, 'Ravenclaw' Allen and Tana sniggered as Kanda glared at them and went to sit down, 'Lee, Lenalee.' Smiling she went up. The hat was silent for a while before, 'Gryffindor!' she sat beside Ginny as Allen was called. He gulped and sat down, 'ah a curse. Interesting. There's no denying that courage either. But you have a kind heart. This is difficult. Ah I know! Gryffindor!' Allen sighed as the name of the house was yelled out. He gave a small wave to Tana as he went to sit down.
'Walker, Tana' taking a deep breath Tana sat down, the hat on his head, 'hmmn another cursed one eh. But what's this. You've had a different past from your brother and you're not quite human either. Oh and what's this, a split personality too. You have an evil in your heart. You may not want to think about it but I think the best place for you to realise your potential will be in Slytherin!' Tana frowned as the hat was taken off. Standing up he gave a small wave to his friends before sitting at the Slytherin table. They smirked at the Gryffindors, especially the trio.
Tana sighed, letting his eyes get a colder glint to them. Little did he realise he sat next to Malfoy, 'I can't believe that you got into Slytherin.' Tana looked at him and smirked, 'ahh does that mean you missed me?' Malfoy snorted as the food appeared. Tana raised an eyebrow and looked over at the Gryffindor table before letting out a snort of his own and going into giggles. Malfoy stared at him as if he was crazy until Tana said, 'the red head with the patch and my brother. I think they're having an eating contest.' Malfoy looked and sure enough both had a small mountain of food in front of them.
Malfoy smirked until Tana said, 'ahh poor Usagi will never be able to beat Allen in an eating contest. Not even I can.' Still chuckling he added a small amount of food onto his plate and started eating. Malfoy smirked again, 'well I guess you have more manners then most of the Gryffindors put together. Maybe the hat was right in putting you here.' Tana raised an eyebrow and said, 'actually Allen and I were separated for three years after we were twelve. We had different things 'taught' to us. Table manners are something Allen never had to worry about. Before that we worked at a circus.'
He chuckled at Malfoy's face, 'what's wrong? Not afraid of clown's are you?' he laughed again at Malfoy's red face, 'calm down. Remember I told you Allen and I were separated. I was with aristocrats for those three years. I know my stuff.' He ate patiently, his slivery-blue eye filled with amusement at Malfoy's face. Finishing his food he placed his knife and fork down, wiped his mouth and looked back over at the Gryffindor table where Lenalee was in discussion with Ginny, Ron was now in battle with Allen for food and Lavi was talking to the twins, having given up with his fight.
He risked a glance to the Ravenclaw table and snorted with laughter which caused Malfoy to look at him again. He just grinned and pointed. Kanda was sat surrounded by girls who were all trying to talk to him, either ignoring or totally oblivious to the murderous aura that surrounded the Japanese boy. Soon the last of the dessert melted away, leaving the plates clean and bellies full, Dumbledore stood again, 'well, now we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start of term notices. First years ought to know that the forbidden forest is out of bounds to students – and a few of our older students should know that by know too.'
He continued on for a while and Tana had started to doze when he said, 'we have three new changes to staffing this year. Professor Grubbly-Plank will once again take over care of magical creatures, Professor Cross will be teaching a new defence class for 5th years and up in addition to Professor Umbridge who is taking over the role of DADA.' A round of polite clapping assured while the two white haired twins reacted differently to Cross.
Allen had his hand over his mouth and looked a little green, causing most people to scoot away from him whilst only Malfoy heard Tana, 'goddamnit, whatever that lesson is I'm not taking it.' Malfoy raised an eyebrow and said, 'why?' Tana let his head fall with a quiet thump and he looked at Malfoy, 'you're kidding right. Just look at that stuck-up, self-ignorant womanizer and tell me you're kidding.' Malfoy looked at the smirking Professor, who was watching with little interest as he drank another goblet, 'sorry. Don't see it.' Tana grunted and turned to look, 'great. That's his 15th drink. I hope that's not alcohol they have…that or he probably snuck it in. god please don't let him ask for us to stay behind I'll never escape' Malfoy shook his head, watching the white-haired boy next to him mutter to himself, a small smile on his face.
He tapped Tana on the shoulder when the others started to stand up, 'hey passwords gingitsune (1). Whatever that means.' Tana laughed coldly, 'it means silver fox…that 'minds me of Tyki…damn kitsune…' Malfoy shrugged, 'whatever. See you in the common room.' He stood up and left leaving Tana alone. He sighed and sat up, Harry had remained, Ron and Hermione having to do their prefect duties, and the other exorcists were there to. Tana stood up, walking over to the Gryffindor table with a grin. He sat next to Lavi and poked his face. He had fallen asleep on the table and was drooling.
Suddenly he grabbed Tana round the waist and dragged him onto his lap, resting his head against his back, 'eww Lavi you're gonna drool on me,' he giggled wriggling in his grasp until the red head grunted and blew on the back of his neck, 'now I'm not. Damn couldn't have let me sleep could you.' Tana grinned and shook his head, sitting next to his lover on the bench, 'come on, behave Usagi-kun.' Lavi grinned and draped his arms round Tana's waist and plonked his head on his shoulder, watching as Dumbledore walked up to them.
'I hope you're comfortable in your houses. Mr Potter, I'm sure you'll take care of the three in your house.' Harry nodded smiling, 'good lad. Now if you could wait outside then you can show them to the dorm when we are done.' Harry nodded, but his face fell into a semi-unreadable expression. Dumbledore waited for the door to close and said, 'I fear Harry to be in more danger. And you yourselves. You need to be careful around Professor Umbridge. I will grant you all night passes and admittance into the restricted section in the library. I hope you all have a good night.' Dumbledore smiled and left. The exorcists stood up and stretched, or just leant heavily onto their lover in Lavi's case.
Koumi gave them a quick brief but said that tonight was their night to rest if they wanted. Kanda decided to patrol the area to 'stay away from the annoying girls' as he said. Lavi and Tana looked at each other then away, both trying not to laugh. They all said goodnight to Koumi and left. Lavi grinned and said, 'can you wait a minute Harry, I'm going to walk Tana down to the bottom of the dungeon stairs.' Harry smiled and nodded.
Tana and Lavi went down the stairs, grinning and chatting like the friends they were. Reaching the bottom Tana giggled, 'this feels like a first date Lavi. I think we went past that point a while back.' he turned and looked at his lover with amusement in his eye. He didn't move as Lavi took his chin in his hand and lifted it, 'I guess I have to make this last me a while hmmn? Maybe on the weekend we could do more.' He leaned in, giving Tana a chaste kiss, pulling away before Tana could try and deepen it.
Tana harrumphed as Lavi pulled away, a scowl on his face, 'maybe. Or maybe I should restrict you for two whole weeks.' He grinned triumphantly at the shocked look on Lavi's face, 'you wouldn't.' Tana smiled sweetly, 'I will if you don't give me what I want.' Lavi chuckled, leaning down and giving Tana a full kiss, licking at his bottom lip which caused the mouth to open obligingly, and slid his tongue into Tana's mouth, taking in the sweet metallic taste his younger lover seemed to have. When they finally broke for air Tana smiled. Standing on tiptoe he kissed Lavi's lips again and slid his hands down to his chest, 'keep safe. And make sure you get me in to help with those pranks I know you and the twins are planning.'
Lavi smiled innocently, resting his hands on Tana's hips, 'what pranks?' he chuckled and kissed Tana's forehead, 'you know I will. And take care of yourself to alright.' Tana nodded and stepped out of the embrace, 'I'll see you tomorrow Usagi,' he said in amusement, it lighting up his eye to show it almost silver in the darkness, 'it's not like it's a mission that we may not return from. I'll see you at breakfast.'
Lavi nodded and watched Tana turn the corner before grinning and heading back up the steps. He found the others and grinned sheepishly, 'sorry. Took longer than I thought.' Allen chuckled but said nothing as Lavi narrowed his eye and stared. Harry shrugged and motioned for them to follow. Leading them to the Gryffindor common room.
Tana sighed as he reached the right wall. He said the password and the wall slid back to reveal a green and silver common room. People looked at him as he entered and he blinked. He grinned and started chuckling, 'wow, if that's how you're meant to greet fellow housemates and guests I'd hate to be an enemy…though at least I'd know you were out to get me.'
The heads turned back to what they were doing and soon a pleasant buzz of talk filled the common room. Tana grinned and went to find Malfoy. The blonde was with a little group of people by the fire. There were four boys and a pug faced girl. Tana grinned as he lent on the back of Malfoy's chair and blew in his ear. He chuckled as the blond spun round in shock, 'what the hell?' Tana raised an eyebrow, 'what? Didn't forget about lil' ol' me did ya? I know I'm small but still.' Tana groaned in mock sadness and grinned at the two boys who had cracked up laughing.
Malfoy sighed, 'you are an idiot you know that.' Tana just grinned and sat himself on the arm of Malfoy's chair, 'so I've been told' Malfoy glared at the two boys laughing and said, 'those two idiots are Zabini and Nott, those two,' he pointed to the two who were still trying to figure out what was funny, 'are Crabbe and Goyle. And this is Pansy Parkinson.' Tana grinned and stood up. Schooling his face to that of aristocrat's he bowed deeply and said, 'charmed, I'm sure,' and took Pansy's hand, kissing it. She blushed and giggled as Zabini and Nott burst into laughter again.
Tana's natural grin settled back on his face as he stood up. He looked at Malfoy who was smirking, 'aww, how hard do I have to try to make you laugh?' Tana sighed, frowning, before breaking out into an evil smile, 'right that will be my task for this term.' Zabini chuckled and tugged at Tana's sleeve, 'ara? What is it Zabini?' Zabini grinned and said, 'the only times he laughs are when he's tormenting Gryffindors.' Tana frowned, 'yeah…well not by the end of this term.' He grinned as he sat back down, this time on the floor. He hummed happily as he pulled out Timmi. The little golem flapped and he let it go, watching it fly around the room.
Zabini looked at it then to Tana as he said, 'hey why do you have a snitch?' Tana chuckled, 'I remember Harry asking this to,' he muttered to himself before giving a whistle. Timmi came back to him as he said, 'he's not a snitch. He's something called a golem. I made him, programming and all.' He fished around in his pocket as the ball flapped round his head expectantly, 'alright Timmi, I know you've been good.' He pulled something silver out, studying it before smiling and flicking it in the air. The little golden ball swooped on it, having to take a few seconds longer to eat it as it was bigger than he normally gets.
Tana chuckled as it landed on his fingers to eat its scrap of metal, 'I think my programming went wrong somewhere, they aren't supposed to need anything to eat to keep running but if Timmi gets metal then he functions better. And he behaves.' Tana watched Zabini sit next to him in wonder, 'wow…it really looks like a snitch… except its fluffy.' Tana looked at him, 'he. Timmi is a he. And be careful, he'll bite if he doesn't get respect.' Zabini raised an eyebrow and Tana grinned, starting to poke it, 'watch. I may be the one he listens to but…I think he's spent too much time round Tim though.'
Zabini watched as the fluff ball started to expand, its little tail flipping back and forth. Tana was talking to Pansy and not paying attention even as he poked it. Zabini yelped and fell backwards as the ball off fluff latched itself onto Tana's wrist. It had sharp teeth that were stuck in. Tana turned to look at Zabini then to his wrist and laughed, 'see, I told you. He bites even me. So don't annoy him.' The six of them stared at Tana as he tickled Timmi, getting him off, and then studied his wrist, humming. Pansy was the first to speak.
'D-Doesn't that hurt?' Tana looked at her and grinned, 'you, probably, me no.' he looked at his wrist still humming and smiling as he said, 'actually, this is the worst he's done before. Normally he bites people on the nose, ear or finger. Normally where metal is.' He frowned as the blood didn't stop, 'damn it, Timmi you got something important. Where's the bathroom?' Malfoy pointed it out to him and he stuck his wrist in his mouth as he walked quickly in that direction.
They looked in that direction for a while before Zabini said, 'uh should we go check on him…I mean we don't really want him to die on us the first night do we?' they frowned and Zabini stood up walking to the bathroom. They were gone a while but when they came back Tana grinned sheepishly, 'sorry, doesn't normally happen. But I got this condition that uh…well it sorta heals me real fast and it didn't kick in till the blood stopped. Don't worry about it though.' He sat back down, the gold fluff ball settling on his head as he grabbed a book.
They stayed until the common room emptied and Tana was asleep on his book. Grunting Zabini nudged him with a foot, 'oi sleeping beauty, you wanna go to bed there's comfier places then the floor.' Tana snorted as he looked up, rubbing his eye, 'yeah I've also slept on worse.' He stood up and stretched, bones cracking in his back, 'then again a bed sounds better right now.' Zabini chuckled as Tana followed them to the dorms. He walked over to his bed. He instantly collapsed on it, and stretched like a cat. He rolled over and kicked his boots off. He mumbled incoherent nonsense to himself as he sat up and pulled off his robe, revealing his exorcist uniform underneath.
'What's that mean?' Tana blinked at the question as he shrugged out of his top layer, still managing to keep his hat on. He looked at the rose Cross and shrugged, 'I dunno…but it's our school's symbol. We all wear them.' Malfoy frowned as he walked over to look at it, 'I've seen this in a book somewhere…meh I'll think of it in the morning. Let's just go to sleep now.' Tana agreed to that by yawning loudly and collapsing back on the bed with a grin. With a final effort Tana threw his jacket on top of his trunk and climbed into bed. He ignored the others questions and was soon asleep.
