You Have GOT to be Kidding

A randomly inspired work of fiction by Aviarianna O' Lorien

For the disclaimer, please look at the first chapter because it's there and it goes for every single chapter of this story, thank you.

To my first reviewer, ShadowAili: Oi imouto thanks and enjoy. (Imouto means little sister, which to me she is.)

To my second reviewer, Jess: Hon…I use it like that because that's how I talk, seriously. And the point of a review is to review the STORY….I don't care weather you think my using Japanese and English together is stupid, any native Japanese person is liable to lapse and use both Japanese and English so get over it. Other than that, next time how about telling me whether or not you liked the story hm? Yeesh…no offence but those comments made me laugh; right now I do not hold you in high respect.

Notes: “red rose” is English.

“red rose” those marks mean the characters are talking in Japanese and I'm too lazy to get the actual Japanese which I'm trying so if it's a wrong word or whatever I'm sorry. If I decide to put in full-fledged sentences in the Japanese language then I'll translate them at the end of the chapter.

Mainly the japanese spoken will be written in romanji, which is japanese text, english letters.

Chapter 2: In Which Secrets and Oddities are Revealed

“Uh…eh-heh?” Avaria's only explanation to the two detectives was a nervous laugh and even more nervous smile as her ears dropped underneath the hood of her cloak and her tail drooped not so visibly underneath the rest of the black draping.

“Perhaps we should continue this inside over a nice cup of tea.” Albus suggested jovially, ushering the three new arrivals straight to his office. Avaria and Kurama looked on with wide eyes and twitching hands at all the silver gadgets lining the walls. Shiny things, all of it with two thieves itching to play with them and controlling their urges but only just. Yusuke looked as though he could care less but there was an unmistakable glint of curiosity in the hanyou's eyes. Avaria smiled when her sensitive nose picked the smell of the black mountain tea, Albus remembered her favorite!

Once settled and all with a cup of tea in their hands, the questions began.

“How do you know him?”

“How does he know you?”

“What's going on?”

“Have you been here before?”

“How long did you stay?”

“Why-“ And suddenly Kurama was cut off by the ever so odd neko sitting across from him.

“Okay…I know him because, and to answer the fourth question too in one go, he knows me because I've been here before and thus he knows me for the same reason. I've been here a few times, sometimes for a few hours and sometimes for a few days and as for what's going on, well Yusuke you know the mission as well as me.” Avaria answered, a bit exasperated. She munched on a cookie and sipped her tea trying to figure out how to explain her many appearances beforehand at Hogwarts but settled on just letting it go for now. “And nii-san, before you even point it out I know that I should explain it better but for now your just going to have to deal with it okay?”

“Kondo warera riyuuwotazuneru tamau teineikonsetsu” (1) He was obviously not happy with her.

“Meh.” She stuck her tongue out at him.

“Koneko.”(2) Kurama muttered her way.

“Itsudatte.”(3) She muttered back with a snicker.

“Danzen gokyoudai.”(4)Yusuke muttered with a laugh.

“Ahem, Mr. and Miss Minamino as amusing as this little argument is I'm afraid we do have some business to discuss,” Albus broke in before the argument could escalate past words but he himself was interrupted by a new presence entering his office. Albus kept it quite to himself that he understood every single thing the `siblings' had just said to each other.

“Albus…Oh no...” Came a voice that could have been classified as black velvet with a frayed edge and it belonged to a man who needs no introduction.

“SEVERUS!” But he got one anyway as Avaria squealed before launching her scarlet robed, jean and matching shirt clad bum towards him, effectively tackling him to the ground. “I missed you! And I smell fish!”

Indeed, everyone in the room smelled the scent of a rotting harbor but only Avaria seemed to be happy about it. Yusuke was bluntly holding his nose and making gagging noises while Kurama was being more polite about it by holding his hand over his nose and mouth and breathing slowly.

“Av-mph!” Avaria covered his mouth and mouthed her name to him, for he was about to call her something else entirely and then she removed the offending limb, allowing him to speak coherently. “Avaria….get off!”

“I know it's here…” Avaria however was by this time not even interested in the man wearing the robes she was rooting through; the cat in her was only interested in finding the thing producing the yummy smell. “Found it!”

Before anyone could stop her, she'd downed the small vile of bright pink liquid and smiled happily, licking her lips. Not exactly a smart thing to do really, her eyes widened and her hands shot to the top of her head, her ears were gone! She took a step forward towards Kurama in panic and fell flat on her face; there was no longer a tail for balance!

Yusuke laughed his ass off at that one, before Kurama subtly smacked him in the back of the head making him snort into his tea instead.

“Oh my…” Albus commented, popping a lemon drop into his mouth as Avaria slowly got into a sitting position on her knees.

“What the bloody hell! My…my tail! It's gone! And my ears…they're…human!” She glared at the chuckling form of Severus who was now standing and brushing off his robes. “That was cruel Severus Snape!”

“But effective.” He replied, seating himself in a chair to the side of Yusuke.

“You do know there will be retaliation.” Avaria growled, grabbing the side of the couch and plopping herself none too gracefully next to her brother, her teacup and saucer graciously moving to be in front of her new spot.

“I'd be worried if there wasn't.” That smirk he was wearing was really starting to annoy her, again.

“Lemon drop?” Before a truly vehement battle of verbal proportions could break out, Albus interjected and Avaria grabbed one aggressively while Severus sighed and politely rejected the muggle candy. “Well then, shall we get you three sorted then?”

“Hai sensei.”(5) Was the answer voiced in unison, it was going to be harder than expected; having to speak English ALL the time.

There was no stool and there was no song and there was no incredibly long and somewhat absurd song. Instead the hat was placed upon Avi's head as she sat upon that couch next to her brother and friend. She felt the hat intruding upon her mind and opened up only the most outer of her defenses, willing the stinging, thorn covered vines to leave its presence alone, for now.

“Well now…what have we got here, many secrets you have. Many things you have seen…mayhaps the reason you are so blocked off. I see a wit as sharp as a knife and certainly a cruel intelligence, Slytherin would be good for you and yet no. No, I think not, not with the heart you have my dear…GRYFINDOR!”

“Huh…didn't have to threaten it or anything!” Avaria grinned plopping the hat onto Kurama's head.

“Well…so you're her brother are you? Not by blood I do believe but that's all right, the bond is deep, now let's have a peep. You have secrets to, a hidden past much like hers…Very tempted, Slytherin would do you well my dear boy…But you have a heart like hers, a desire to protect I see…and who am I to break up such a loving family. GRYFINDOR!”

“Wonderful.” Kurama smiled, plopping the hat onto Yusuke's head much more gently than Avaria had done to him.

“GRYFINDOR!” The response was nearly immediate, which was no surprise to either Avaria or Kurama.

“Cool.” Was the young punks very neutral remark, handing the hat back to the headmaster.

“Oh stop scowling Severus!” Avaria teased the scowling man with a laugh. “I know you don't like the house that much but honestly man! Do you realize how completely stupid it is to hold a grudge against a house for nearly 30 bloody years simply because when YOU went to school YOUR bullies happened to be in it?” She didn't know it then but she really had hit something with that.

“No special treatment, any of you. Especially you.” He remarked rather sourly, pointing at Avaria before departing from the room.

“What did I say?” Avaria was genuinely confused but received only shrugs and raised eyebrows in response.

(((((((((((((((((Chapter Fin))))))))))))))))))

I know, it's short but I'm really tired and soon enough I'll working at Happy Hollow so my stuff will be out when it can be out. Anyway…translation time! The numbers correspond to the translation and if I got a word wrong or whatever, I'm sorry.

“Next time we ask for a reason, grant a detailed explanation.

“Kitten.”

“Always.”

“Definitely siblings.”

“Yes teacher/professor”

I hope you enjoyed it and I promise that the next chapter will be at least a page longer!
