Chapter 4:
After about another week of waiting a car came to pick up the students, their supplies and new pets. Yukio got an owl, He named Samuke, so he could send correspondence back to Mephisto, Suguro got a cat that, according to Rin looked exactly like him. " You both have spiky hair and a pissed off look on your face." Rin explained to him laughing, and so everyone began to refer to the cat as "Chibi Bon", which only annoyed Suguro even further. Shima and Konekomaru got owls as well, named Shin and Koneki (respectively), Kamiki got what appeared to be a red fox, she didn't bother to name it because she found that to be stupid so she just called her "Fox" and Shiemi got a bright green toad with wide eyes whom she affectionately named Mr. Midori. Mephisto was kind enough to drop off Rin's pet/familiar from home, Kuro, who was a black demon cat who could change into a giant cat. Eventually they were pushed into a car by an older looking man with a grey mane of hair and were driven to King's Cross Station in London and were dropped off in front of an enormous, bearded man wearing a brown leather trench coat at the sight of him Yukio was tempted to draw his gun and began a hail of fire but this reflex was stopped as the giant man spoke. "So you lot are the new exchange students from o'erseas eh? Well my name is 'agrid and I've been sent to take you to platform 9 and three quarters-" at the name of the platform no one could resist laughing not even Yukio and finally when he stopped he said " 9and three quartes?! There is no such platform you're just being silly." Hagrid smirked and said "am I now?" and then he led them to the brick column between platforms 9 and 10 and then instructed Suguro to go through first. Suguro blanched and slowly walked through the barrier at this everyone went wide-eyed and looked at the smiling bearded giant and he then instructed the rest of them to go through. And one by one they complied until it was only Yukio left finally Hagrid stepped through and Yukio went after him shutting his eyes and bracing for something horrible and then he felt something like a cold rush of wind and opened his eyes wide in amazement he was on a platform with a train puffing out steam and as soon as he was there Hagrid said to them all " Well I mus' be off 'ogwarts business and all. I will see you in class." He left back through the column and disappeared. All of them gaped at the train and all the people getting on until a clatter on the floor drew them away from the wondrous site it looked as if a young girl had dropped her bird cage on the floor. Rin immediately went to help her with it after getting it safely strapped back on the girl said "Thank you so much for helping me!" and then she looked confused for a moment looking at Rin's face "I've never seen you before. Are you new?" Rin nodded " We're-" pointing to the rest of the group who were boarding the train "exchange students from True Cross Academy in Japan My name is Rin. Rin Okumura. And you are?" the girl smiled and said "my name is Ginny Weasley. So what house are you in?" Rin looked confused for a moment and asked "House? What do you mean by house?" Ginny looked shocked and said " Well I guess since you're new you wouldn't know. There are four houses at Hogwarts: Slytherin, there a bunch of stuck up gits; Ravenclaw, that's where all the braniacs go; Hufflepuff, there are a few weirdoes in there; and Gryffindor, that's the house I'm in." She said beaming at him, but then blinked looking at the sword that was wrapped up and tied to Rin's back "what's that?" Rin turned pale and said nervously "oh.. this um that it's um nothing, nothing at all. So um I got to go bye!" and then he ran and got on the train and sighed and then stuck his sword into a suit case to keep it safe and went to go and find a seat on the train. Eventually he opened up a door and inside were a small group of people two boys and a girl. "Hey mind if I sit with you guys? I'm new here." They all nodded slowly and Rin sat down and smiled at all of them. "I'm Rin Okumura one of the new transfer students. Nice to meet all of you!" they all looked at him curiously and the girl said " Well my name is Hermione Granger, This is Ron Weasley and this is-" the black haired boy chimed in "I'm Harry Potter." And they all looked at Rin as if they were expecting him to say something and then he said "Weasley?! Do you have a sister because I just met a girl named Ginny Weasley on the platform." At this they all looked dumbstruck and Harry said " Wait! You don't know who I am?" Rin said with a laugh "of course I do. Your Harry Potter you just introduced yourself remember?" Harry just laughed but Ron and Hermione both looked shocked at what Rin had said. "What?!" Rin yelled when Hermione had explained who Harry was and then said "that's so cooooooool!" at this they all laughed and then Rin explained that he was a transfer student from Japan who had only just learned he was a wizard a month ago and had been requested by Dumbledore along with the rest of his friends and his twin brother. After the explanations the conversation took a turn towards the events of the Quidditch World Cup and the movements of the Death Eaters. Rin was utterly confused and finally asked with an innocent tone "what is Quidditch?" both Ron and Harry looked flabbergasted and Hermione just sighed "you have never heard of Quidditch?!" Ron almost screamed at Rin and Rin just shook his head no, he had never heard of it and as Ron was starting to explain the train left the station and Hermione took out a book which jogged Rin's Memeory… "Shit! I forgot to study!" he took out all of his books and began reading at an alarming rate that even shocked Hermione. He finally got tired of reading and asked " Hey! What houses are you guys in? and what year?" They replied a one " Gryffindor and 4th year" and Hermione alone said " and from the books that you have you must also be in fourth year" Rin smiled and said yes and complained about being dropped into a higher grade while knowing nothing about magic. And the train kept rolling.
