Chapter 9:
"Ahem. I have an announcement to make!" spoke Dumbledore, quieting down the students during their dinner; "Very soon the first trial will be upon the champions, but before that is the wand weighing ceremony as well as a demonstration of skills…" and then quickly and quietly he muttered "as well as an interview for the Daily Prophet." he then let the rabble return to their meal.
'Ron is still being an ass' Harry thought as he looked at his best friend who was talking to Seamus Finnegan. Harry just sighed and shook his head and turned to Rin who was yet again gobbling down his dinner with gusto. "So Rin, I'm kind of curious. What is that thing you always carry on your back?"
Rin immediately stopped eating and turned to him and whispered so only Harry could hear him "It's a sword, it contains the majority of my demonic power, it's sealed inside of it because I can't exactly control it yet." Rin just shook his head "I need to train more, that's what I was doing when you jumped me the other night, practicing to get better at controlling my demon fire."
Harry thought for a second and got an idea "There might be a few people who might be able to help you with that around here. We have professor Moody, who probably dealt with this stuff all the time before he came here, Then there is Dumbledore, who your brother said used to be very close to you exorcists, and then Hermione, she knows everything about everything magical." Rin just shrugged "But no one is even supposed to know about this, you only found out by accident." Harry pleaded to him for the rest of the night that he should at least tell Dumbledore and Rin finally caved.
-The Next Day-
Rin was standing with Harry right outside Dumbledore's office and he was about to knock when a voice said "come in, please" and with that the door opened and both boys walked in.
"Well hello Harry and a hello to you , how may I help the both of you today" Dumbledore said with his usual grin. "Umm well you see sir there is something I need to tell you and a favor I need to ask of you" Rin spoke nervously. "Oh and what might those things be Mr. Okumura" the old wizard spoke never breaking his smile making Rin feel all the more uncomfortable. "Well you see sir, it's just that well I am ummm" "you should speak quickly I'm quite busy " said the headmaster and all of a sudden Rin blurted it out "I'M THE SON OF SATAN!" and as soon as he said it he covered his mouth and looked at harry who had his eyes wide and his mouth agape at Rin's stupidity.
Albus Dumbledore was not always thrown for a loop by surprises and this situation was no different. He had expected Mr. Okumura had some sort of importance to True Cross otherwise they wouldn't have sent him here, but something of this magnitude was, suffice it to say, shocking. But he had to keep composure in front of these two "I see… well I am glad that you brought this to my attention I will have a long discussion with your headmaster before I proceed with anything regarding this matter" 'That will be a very interesting conversation to have with my old friend Mephisto.' And with that he turned and told the boys they should begin heading for their examination for the tournament and with that they left silently.
The two headed towards the examination room and Harry told him "You know that this is an examination of magical skills and powers, meaning you have to demonstrate your demon fire thingy to the examiner…" Rin gulped and nodded "I figured I would have to… just didn't think I would be this nervous… I hope I don't set the person on fire" he chuckled weakly and looked down as they reached the door and they walked inside to see a few people.
Rita Skeeter was absolutely ecstatic that she would be able to interview "The Boy Who Lived" as well as Viktor Krum a Seeker for the Bulgarian National Quidditch team. But another person caught her attention a complete wildcard. A boy with dark hair, slightly pointed ears, and almost innocent looking gray/blue eyes and a bundle on his back. She wanted to find out all the dirt on this boy with Potter she smiled deviously and licked her lips at the thought of the juicy story that awaited her.
"Alright everyone, as you know my name is Ludo Bagman, Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. You are here for the wand weighing ceremony, an examination of your magical abilities and an interview for the daily prophet by Miss Rita Skeeter" He pointed to a pretty blonde wearing a hideous green outfit and glasses. "So let us begin with the interviews First up wil-" He was cut off by Rita as she grabbed Rin to everyone's surprise especially Harry's who thought he would be first for sure with his history. "I would very much like to start with…" she looked at Rin waiting for his name "Rin Okumura" he said slightly confused as he was dragged into a broom closet by this woman.
"Cozy, isn't it?" she said to Rin as she shut the door and he just shrugged not knowing what to say. "Well let's begin, Rin was it?" she said as she let her quill do all the writing much to Rin's surprise. "Please don't pay attention to that Rin its just enchanted to do the writing for me." He nodded and the questions began.
RS:"So where are you from Rin?"
RO: "I'm from True Cross Academy in Japan me my brother, and my classmates were transferred here for the year."
RS: "Japan, is quite a ways away I bet your parents must miss you very much."
RO:*visibly saddened* "My brother and I are actually orphans raised in a church by a priest whom we saw as our father, he died recently and we have been wards of the school since then."
RS:"That is very tragic." *She puts on a fake pity face for him* "Do you remember anything about your birth parents?"
RO: *becoming worried about exposing himself he vehemently shakes his head no*
RS: "Oh how unfortunate." *she tried not to smirk knowing he was lying* "So how old are you Rin?"
RO:" I turned 15 last December. But they made me a fourth year because it would be too much to study for exams in the fifth year class."
RS: "Very interesting. Why did you put your name into the Goblet? You must have realized that this tournament was made for older student with much more experience and training under their belts than you."
RO: "I didn't put my name in the Goblet. Someone else must have."
RS *chuckling* "Everyone loves a hero Rin." *winking at him noticeably making him squirm much to her pleasure* "I think that's all I need for now."
She opened the door and Rin was released from her clutches and almost ran away from her not noticing where he was going he ran right into Viktor Krum who barely noticed him. "ahem. Since your interview is done you will be the first to be examined mister Okumura please hand your wand to Mr. Ollivander for weighing." Rin handed his want to the old man and he placed it on a strange scale "8.2 ounces" he spoke quietly "Ludo smiled and said now please take your wand and go into the next room with mister Ollivander for magical examination." Rin complied immensely nervous about how he would be "examined".
