Hogwarts and History's Finest

A Clouded future, hospital time already!

"Kagome, come on we have to get some breakfast!" Hermione shoved the lump under the covers. Kagome mumbled something about how she'd rather clean the shrine then get up.

Hermione got a thought along with an evil grin and jumped on the bed. Kagome immediately woke up with a start. Noticing that it was Hermione she threw a pillow.

"Well now that you're awake… Its time to go eat, get our timetables, then go to class."

Kagome began mumbling how crazy schoolgirls were and how demons were better than school. Hermione laughed and waited for kagome to get dress, brush her hair, and do anything else she needed.

"Alright I'm ready!" Kagome came out of the bathroom and looked hot in her uniform, both her and Hermione wore their skirts, knee high sock, and vest over their dress shirts. Her sparkling blue-gray eyes showed her personality as well as brightening the outfit.

Hermione gave her a pat on the back and they head down towards the common room. It was empty; it wasn't till then when Kagome noticed it was still slightly dark outside. Well Ron did warn me that Hermione does like to do things and get them done early, She thought.

The painting swung open and they walked down the lively stairs and though another corridor. Coming to the great hall they sat themselves down and began to eat.

After eating they hurried back to the common room where the head boy and girl would be handing out their timetables early.

"Password?" The large lady asked. She ruffled her pink dress and began to wait patiently.

"Quidditch cup." Hermione replied. Anxiously she waited for the portrait to swing open. Quickly following Hermione they came upon a scene where the head boy and girl were already dealing out the booked timetables.

As Kagome passed a few girls she got a few complements on the bash as she walked around looking for Harry and Ron. Even so, some boys were checking her out. Hermione gave her a nudge in the ribs, in which they only both began giggling uncontrollably, mocking how the boy's faces were looking.

"Ah, there you are!"

Looking around Kagome noticed it was Mary who was striding forward towards them and handed them each their timetable. Only to yell someone else's name and frantically ran towards him or her like a buffoon. Hermione compared her timetable with Kagome and it turned out that they had two classes together, Herbology and Potions.

"Hey Ron!" Kagome waved towards Ron who waved over Harry. They began coming forward. Kagome looked at Ron and then at Harry. Boy did he look good. His eyes stood out and made him look dazzling, his Harry was still messy but seemed a bit spiked or scrunched in a sort of way.

"Hello Harry!"

"Hey." Harry looked at Kagome and gave a small smile.

"So what classes do you guys have first?" Kagome asked. Trying to ignore the feeling of butterflies in her stomach and the fact that she was about to blush at any moment.

"Harry and I have Divination first." Replied Ron.

"Me too."

Hermione just mumbled at the fact that Professor Trewlany was just an old bat and her class was easy. Ron just snorted and said that was the point with a sly grin.

Walking to their first class Harry, Ron, and Kagome went left down the corridor while Hermione went right. They had a good amount of time, so it seemed, before class started so they began talking.

"Nice party you threw last night." Ron commented. Kagome turned a tad red on the ears and a smile crept on her face.

"Yeah well, it wasn't officially school time yet." She gave a laugh.

"Yeah too bad we couldn't have joined." Harry replied. "It looked like fun." A couple of silent moments fell.

"We better hurry, we have five minutes to get there." Ron said as he looked at his watch, instantly breaking the silence. Quickly they ran up the stairs to meet a weird looking woman.

Kagome first impression was of a large creepy-crawly bug. Professor Trewlany moved into the eerie candlelight, and kagome saw that she was thin; her large glasses magnified her eyes so she looked super bug eyed, and she was draped with a dusty shawl.

Kagome sat at a low table nearest to where the boys were and was quickly joined by another girl, a Ravenclaw girl who was friends with Hermione.

"Welcome to Divination," said Professor Trelawney, who had seated herself in a weird armchair in front of the class. "My name is Professor Trelawney." She gave a smile only to show her tainted yellow teeth.

"Now let me remind you, books can only get you so far in my class. There is very little I can teach you…"

"It is a gift granted if you have the inner eye. Now lets begin again with the Crystal ball, eventually we will develop or deepen our eye into the future." Motioning for one of the two at each mini table to come and get a crystal ball, eventually the quiet clear crystal ball went cloudy and into shapes.

"Now look into the crystal ball my dears, look closely. Oh and Neville dear, when you decide to get up, move all the way out so you don't turn the table." Neville looked pale and gave a quick nod.

"Good boy."

"So Kagome is it?" Kagome turned her head slightly towards the Ravenclaw girl that she shared the table with. She was a tall girl and was real pretty.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't get yours?"

"It's alright, it's not like I said it either. My names Lavender."

"So shall we get started?" Kagome gave a nod.

"What do you see?"

"I see…" Kagome went into deep thought. She really didn't see anything, nothing but smoke and something shaped like a bird.

"I see something shaped oddly like a bird." Kagome raised her eyes to the girl as she scavenged between pages in their book, Unfogging the future: grade six.

"Ah well. I apparently will have rough journey only to come swooning home back to the nest more ambitious then before." She nodded and looked at the book satisfied.

"Great well let's see what's in store for me." Kagome said nervously. Lavender gave a reassuring smile and handed the book over.

"Well let's see here… I see."

With the boys…

"Harry this is boring."

"Harry?" Ron turned to see Harry sleeping slightly on the table. Ron smiled and gave a quick nudge. Harry stirred and slowly raised his head from the table. His glasses were all messed up and he rubbed his eyes. Ron laughed.

"Is it over?"

"No… sorry mate. Oh -pretend to see something! She's coming this way." Harry slid his glasses on so that they fit properly and not sideways and looked into the crystal ball.

"Eh… I see a flower?" He looked at Ron and then backs at the ball. Oddly enough he did see a flower.

"Ugh. It says I will have a troubling friendship which could eventually turn romantically in my future." Ron gave a sigh. "Rubbish."

Harry gave a laugh at how Ron acted. Ron only mumbled how the crazy crackpot headed teacher only taught nonsense and nothing useful in life, but the fact that she was an easy old hag.

"Right well your turn." He mumbled, sliding the book over to Harry.

All of a sudden Professor Trewlany went all rigid and stared at someone. Kagome.

"You!" She pointed to Kagome and began to shake. Kagome almost fell backwards as the old woman crept closer. Everyone went silent.

"Your future is so clouded. Undecided it seems. I've never seen anything so complicated in my life! And you're of what age, fifteen?" Kagome gave a hesitated nod. She looked towards Harry and Ron who only shrugged in response. Well aren't they some help. Some crazy teacher says her future is undecided and is all up in her face. The professor pulled back a bit and looked at her again, eyeing her from all angles.

"Umm Professor?"

"Yes child?"

"What might I ask are you doing?" Kagome wasn't feeling too good under her gaze. It's only the first day and she had teacher freaking out about her. Wait till they see her actual grades! The professor began to relax and dismissed the class shaking her head and mumbling about Dumbledore and the new girl?

Bidding Lavender farewell Kagome waited for Harry and Ron.

"That was sure… exciting."

"Yeah. It bloody was." Replied Ron. They began descending down the stairs.

"Is she always so…?"

"Dramatic?" Harry intercepted. Kagome gave a slight nod.

"Yeah on the first day she predicted I would die soon and I got the grim in my tea cup." Harry gave a laugh.

"I'm still waiting to see when I am going to die."

"Don't worry you won't die, we'll see to it. Maybe of old age, but not soon." Harry felt warm with her words. God what is she doing to me? Harry began to think. Every time he was around her, his heart began to beat fast.

"So Kagome what class do you have next?" Ron asked since no one was speaking.

"Umm." She slipped a piece of paper out of her book and looked at the list.

"Oh no. Potions."

Kagome went a bit pale. Ron and Harry gave her a pat on the back.

"We have that class next. Whom do we have it with anyway?" Ron asked, praying it wasn't Slytherin. Harry peered over Kagome's shoulder to see that it was Slytherin. Oh great. Harry then noticed they were at the dungeon door and quickly followed in and sat down. They trio looked around the room to see three seats on the outer edge closest to the Slytherins were open. Hermione sat on the fourth seat inward, followed by Ron, Harry, and Kagome sitting out the outside edge.

Kagome wasn't exactly feeling this class. It did after all have Malfoy in it and he was sitting in the row next to her on the outer edge staring at her.

"Can I help you?" Kagome asked as she turned her head.

"No. I was just wondering what your face would look like if I told your secret in front of the whole class. My options are still open, but of course since you're in Gryffindor we'll have to make a few arrangements." He gave a seductive smirk. Taking and origami piece of paper shaped like rose, and dropping it on her books. Harry who had been secretly eavesdropping began wondering what he meant and managed to hold the jealousy inside him. The train! On the trains she must have gone and talked to him, but ended up hitting him instead. Mentally Harry was laughing but kept a cautious eye out.

Suddenly the dungeon door swung open and the professor walked in. He was tall, pale, had black lengthy hair, and wore simply all black. Kagome slid the rose into her book and looked at the professor, she seemed to get a strange aura from him; it seemed to be a mix of black and gray, symbolizing something in relation to death. No he wasn't dead but had an odd aura around him. She decided it was best to be careful and quiet around him.

"Class I want your mouths shut and your text books open to page two hundred and eleven."

Scrambling the Gryffindors opened their books and waited patiently. Kagome opened the book to see a concoction of poisonous powders on one side while the remedies to cure it on the other page. Kagome's eyes went wide and she glanced over at Malfoy. His eyes portrayed that he was thinking the same thing as her and he glanced back at her. Kagome's heart began to panic and suddenly she pulsed. She immediately looked around… nothing. But? Usually when she pulsed it meant a jewel shard or an evil presence. Right?

Suddenly the wall of the dungeon began to glow a dark swirling gray. It looked like a portal of some sorts, with electrical sparks shooting out, blinding everyone's vision periodically. Suddenly the portal closed and a massive dark, dark, gray-black blob was stuck to the wall. Professor Snape reacted and shifted the class to go out into the hall and someone to send for Professor Lauren in the room next door. Kagome didn't budge, but just stared at the wall. He was here, looking for her. Kagome thought. Kagome jumped up and pulled out her wand.

"Kagome what the hell do you think your doing?" Professor Snape shouted. That got everyone's attention, especially Harry's. Hermione quickly darted towards Kagome but was shot back by what seemed to be a barrier.

"What the?" Ron hissed as he crouched next to Hermione who struggled to get up.

"Kagome!" Hermione knew what was going on in Kagome's mind and was panicking badly. Kagome don't! I won't let him take you!

"Kagome get back." Snape hissed. Kagome stared at the wall, seemingly just to analyze it.

"Professor it is but a shadow demon sir." She replied. She gave a sigh of relief when it was only such a thing, not him.

"Miss Higarashi, I do not need your-" He cut himself off suddenly as the wall went solid black & darted away from him. Only to appear at the door of the dungeon, slowly like an amoeba the thing split into two and the door closed locking it's self. Screams of `No' were heard on the outside of the classroom. Now trapped in the room was Ron, Harry, Hermione, Kagome, Professor Snape, and another student who had to jump out of the way of the shadow.

The demon looked upon it's pray, sensing strong auras from all except one he targeted it. It was the boy who had to dodge the demon in the first place. Kagome took her wand as fast as a lightning bolt and said something in Japanese. A white blinding light came out of the tip soon taking the form of raven. Harry gasped. She had preformed the Patronus spell, with out falter. Hermione seemed to gasp too. The shadow demon didn't have a chance. It's right half was set into oblivion. Professor Snape quickly helped the boy away from the demon as well to his displeasure Harry and the others.

Harry stood up from his crouching position and looked at the shadow demon. Quickly the thing lunged out from the wall at Kagome and Harry. The thing was ugly for sure; it looked like a troll with its lower body in a wispy tail. It was solid black, it's eyes a piercing yellow-orange. Harry drew is wand and sent his own patronus spell in the shape of a stag. The demon gave a shrilly cry and sent a wave of energy through the room throwing them all to the ground, slowly the demon shriveled up into a small piece of parchment and set fire turning to ashes. Everyone was knocked down on the dungeon floor; Harry and Kagome lay next to each other unconscious.

"Kagome? Harry?" Hermione's voice was trembling, Ron's too. The boy who had dodged the demon in the beginning had fainted and Professor Snape was dusting himself off and quickly ran towards the door of the dungeon and flung it open.

"Kagome?" Ron asked. "Harry?"

The room was a disaster. Potions and books were scattered across the floor, chairs turned over, and the dungeon wall had a black scorch mark on. In between it all Kagome and Harry were on the floor next to each other while Ron and Hermione hovered above like worried parents.

Students peered in the door to see what had happened, Professor Lauren came busting in and his eyes quickly analyzed the room. His first thought… a Shadow demon. But how did professor Snape destroy it? He couldn't have, only pure could and from what he could see Kagome and Harry did it, I mean they are on the floor unconscious and looking tired. Professor Snape came running in with Madam Pompfrey and several other teachers.

"Move!" a voice said. "MOVE!" Madam Pompfrey madly dashed over to Kagome and Harry checking pulses and for broken ribs and such. She gave a sigh of relief and had them transported on stretchers to the hospital wing. Hermione gave a gasp and cry as she wanted to follow, but Ron held her back knowing and telling her that they would be fine. That it was only a knock to the head and that they were only unconscious.

(A/N: oh my gosh, I was wondering why this chapter was so longggg then I realized I put like two chaps together! Ha! Silly me!)
