Hogwarts and History's Finest

Hanging With A Werewolf and The Order Of the Phoenix

"What?" Kagome stood baffled. "The Order of What-e-what?"

"Leave now!" McGonagall yelled, bringing her wand out of her pocket in her robes. "Professor Lauren, take her to Remus Lupin. He'll know what to do."

Sesshomaru aka Professor Lauren nodded his head and grabbed Kagome's wrist.

"We leave, now." His voice was cold. With a light wind he transformed back into his other half. He was now a bit shorter and his aqua eyes were shining in determination to fill the professor's wishes.

"But -but -but, what about Harry and why do I have to leave?"

Sesshomaru ignored her naivety and with that they disappeared with a pop. Kagome felt a rush go through her lungs and she felt as though she was flying for one measly second. As fast it had come it was gone and she lay sprawled on the ground.

"What the hell happened?" She mumbled.

Slowly she picked her head up and rolled her eyes at the fact that Professor Lauren was still on his feet and waiting for her to get up.

Kagome slowly got up and took in her surroundings. She was in an old building as she could tell with dark wood floors, dusty curtains, and English styled furniture.

"Where are we?" She asked, brushing the dirt off her skirt.

"Lupin's House." He stated as his eyes were fixed on the darkness in the corner.

A large snarling noise ripped through the silence and Kagome's eyes widened.

There in the dark corner where Professor Lauren had been staring at was a large brown black dog snarling and barring its teeth as it leered towards them. Kagome took a step back.

"Lupin. I advise you to retrieve your wolf before I take any actions in killing it." Sesshomaru yelled. His voice seemed to ring through the house.

A shuffle of feet and muffled noise could be heard in another room. A kitchen door swung open to reveal a man. He wore shabby and tattered robes and looked exhausted. Though quite young, his light brown hair was flecked with gray.

"Who goes there?"

"It is I, Professor Lauren. I need immediate help in bringing Miss Higarashi to the Head Quarters of The Order of Phoenix now."

Remus eyed him wearily.

"Down boy." He said to the wolf. The canine gave a last final snarl and turned around, walking back into the shadows.

"Why is she in need?"

Professor Lauren gave a deadly growl, his demon instinct flaring.

"I have strict orders from Professor McGonagall to bring her there, Luicius Malfoy is at Hogwarts proclaiming that she is to be sentenced to court. Dumbledore and him were speaking in conference as Miss Higarashi and myself were in another room. McGongall reached us and told us to come here for guidance to the head quarters of The Order of Phoenix. Does that clear everything Remus?"

"Yes it does." He replied calmly. "I'll be right back."

The door closed with a swoosh and a minuet later he returned.

"I will take her to the head quarters. That way you can return and it will appear as though you never left from Hogwarts. Lowering the mistrust on you."

Kagome watched Sesshomaru's expression flicker from his emotionless mask to a sudden look of suspicion. Reluctantly he turned away, his hair breezed to his right and he disappeared with a pop.

Remus Lupin seemed to give a sigh and touched Kagome's shoulder.

"He is a very suspicious man isn't he?" he asked, grabbing his hat. Kagome watched him gather his coat and nodded.

"You must earn his respect in order for him to feel as though you are also superior to the others and equal to him." Kagome twirled her wand in her hand. `What's got Sesshomaru so suspicious about Remus?' She glanced to her right to notice him looking at her oddly.

"Are you ready Miss- Miss Higarashi, was it?" He tried to pronounce her last name correctly. Kagome smiled, `Maybe he is a bit odd, but not a bad guy.'

"Yes I am, Professor Lupin."

Remus smiled and with that they left with a pop into the muggle world.

They walked down Wolfs Bane Drive, then they turned right at the muggle stop sign at the corner and continued their way for a little longer, then turning left they went into a busy area full of muggles, the town square.

"So where is this place?" Kagome yelled over the screams of happy children.

"Just a but farther." He yelled back.

Suddenly Lupin pulled out a piece of paper.

"Read quickly and memorize." He whispered into her ear.

Kagome looked down at the piece of paper. It said:

The head quarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld place, London

"So what is this-?"

"Do not speak it." Remus said suddenly. Finally they left the busy area and found themselves in an empty rundown neighborhood. With the tip of his wand, Remus set the little piece of paper on fire and it floated to the ground.

Kagome looked at the houses, ignoring the ashes of the paper that was just set fire. They were standing outside number 11 Grimmauld place; she looked to the left and saw number 10; to the right, however, was number 13.

"Where's number-?"

"Think of what you just memorized," said Lupin quietly.

Suddenly a battered door just appeared out nowhere between the numbers of 11 and 13. Followed swiftly by dingy dirty walls and black grimy windows. Kagome just gawked at it.

"Shall we go?" Lupin said, noticing her mouth wide open.

Kagome smiled. "Sorry, it just appeared out of nowhere."

Lupin curtly nodded back.

"I know. We get that a lot."

Lupin tapped his wand on the door once. Kagome heard the sounds of many clicks and clatters of chains and locks. The door slowly and eerily creaked open.

"Hurry, get in."

Kagome stepped in quickly.

The house was suddenly lit by gas lamps that lay along the walls, pouring light onto the peeling wallpaper and worn carpet of a long, gloomy, hallway where cob webs seemed to be the main décor.

"So this is it?" she asked.

"I know it's not much, but give it time. It use to be a place of a good friend of mine." He said carefully.

"Oh?" Kagome sat on the floor, not daring to sit on the couch. "Who was your friend?"

Lupin gave a laugh, "Well you may not believe it but my best friend was Sirius Black."

Remus waited for her eyes to bulge out and her mouth to hang wide, but instead she had her mouth closed and her eyes were looking at him in confusion.

"Who is that?" she asked softly.

"How could you-" He gave a sigh. "Your not from around here are you?"

Kagome giggled and gave a smile.

"No. I was born in Japan before my parents died. My brother was shipped to a muggle foster home and I was adopted immediately by a muggle named Mr.Ozrak, then I moved to London last year. This would be my first year at Hogwarts."

"Doesn't sound that bad, Hogwarts is a fine place."

Kagome snorted.

"I agree about Hogwarts, though one teacher I wouldn't mind giving a good whooping too."

She muttered the ending and Lupin just laughed.

"Let me guess. Professor Snape?"

"Yeah."

"Don't let him get to you." He waved his hand and he motioned for her to get up. "Lets go down to the kitchen, I don't know about you but I'm hungry."

Kagome's stomach gave a sudden growl.

"I guess I am too."

The walked down the hall and entered the kitchen that was on the left.

She sat down at a large oak table and watched as Professor Lupin flicked out his wand and lit the stone fireplace located in the back of the room.

"So Professor, tell me about this Sirius Black."

Lupin's eyes seemed to light up a bit. He then muttered a spell and brought a plate and bowl over.

"I didn't know what you liked so I thought about some Japanese cuisines."

Kagome's mouth watered. Oden.

"ODEN!" she squealed.

Professor Lupin laughed. "I guess that's a yes."

Kagome smiled and blushed a dark red as she shyly grabbed the chopsticks that rest upon the lip of the bowl.

"Anyway, you asked about Sirius. He was my best friend along with James and Lily Potter."

Kagome looked up at him.

"Potter?"

"Yes, I assume you have heard of the famous Harry Potter."

Kagome blushed. "Yes I have, he's quiet a charmer."

Lupin smiled.

"Anyway, Sirius was a animagus; some one who can transform into a animal. I reunited with him about three years ago. He was always up to tricks and we even use to tease Professor Snape when we were younger." He took a bite of his food.

"So you and Sirius are real close weren't you?" Kagome stuffed more oden into her mouth.

"Yes we were. I also taught his godson when I was teaching at Hogwarts."

"Who is his godson? Maybe I know him." She stuffed the last bit of oden in her mouth.

"Everyone knows him, they just don't realize that Sirius Black was his godfather."

"Harry?"

Remus nodded and stood up, carrying Kagome's bowl along with his plate and placed it in the sink.

Kagome's eyes grew a bit lazy and she seemed to getting real tired.

"What time is it professor?"

"About 11 o'clock." He said quietly. "Here, let me show you to your room." Kagome slowly got up and followed him to her room. As soon as he closed the door behind her, she climbed onto the bed and lay on her back; her arms folded behind her.

`Why is this going so fast?' She asked herself. She did just suddenly figure out that her dark arts teacher was Sesshomaru and then she just left Hogwarts, then finally she was rushed with some stranger to some magical hidden place.

`Harry. I need you right now. I don't know what to do.' Kagome thought.

"I hate who I am," she whispered. "Why do I always get the worst of things?"

Remus just leaned against the wall outside her door, when suddenly he caught the words `I hate who I am ` leave her mouth.

`Why would she hate herself?' He asked himself. He then thought about his own true self, his werewolf side.

"Maybe she has her own secrets as well as I do." With a swish of the cloak he walked back down the stairs towards the kitchen.

Back with Kagome

Kagome turned onto her side and brushed her silk locks out of her eyes. Kagome looked around and she slowly took out her wand.

`Maybe I could just say hello to them.' She snaked it around her fingers.

`I don't think that would be wise.' A voice said mentally in her head.

Kagome sat up straight.

"Who goes there?" she said forcefully.

"Whom else?" The voice replied. An eerie breeze swept through the room. Kagome leapt off the bed and edge towards the door, keeping her guard up.

"I don't have time for these games. Who are you?" she said angrily. Her hand reached for the doorknob. Locked, magically.

`No!' she screamed. `I'm suppose to be safe here!'

"PROFESSOR LUPIN! PROFESSOR!" She yelled.

"You think you can get out?" the voice said, another breeze danced around her.

"Leave me alone." She gritted out. "What is it you want?"

"That is for me to know and you to find out." The voice laughed.

"PROFESSOR!" She screamed. She closed her eyes as she felt like she was lashed with a whip.

`What is going on! I am suppose to be protected here!' Slowly she opened her eyes and starred at her opponent.

A shuffle of feet could be heard going up the stairs and a familiar voice could be heard.

"Open up Miss Higarashi! What's wrong?"

Professor Lupin rattled the doorknob.

"What's going on?"

"Professor I can't unlock the door! Its locked magically and there is something in here- AHH!" she gave out another scream of pain as she felt another sear of pain hit her stomach.

Professor Lupin began to panic. With a forceful blast he magically opened the door by blasting it off the hinges.

"Impedimenta!" he yelled. The creature that had been attacking Kagome fell into nothing but ashes. Kagome lay on the ground.

"Kagome? Can you hear me?" Kagome heard a voice swarm her hear softly. "Its me, Professor Lupin." Kagome shook her head and slowly began to push herself up.

"I've got you, you're alright…" He soothed, with that she crumpled into his arms falling into darkness.

"That's right. A Bogart." A voice echoed.

"What form did it take?"

"It was unknown, whatever it was it seemed to terrify the girl more that anything."

Kagome clutched her head, these voices… they hurt her head so much. Kagome slowly opened her eyes then gradually blinked a few times, hoping for everything to become clear. The first thing she noticed was that she was no longer in her room, but in another room. Sitting up she suddenly gasped at the ache and pain in her stomach and arm.

"She's awake. I must leave, that's just the news report from Hogwarts. Give her my apologies; I'll have some other people come and help with the extermination later. Good bye Remus."

`Don't go,' Kagome thought, `What news did he have from Hogwarts?' Kagome looked towards the slightly open door and noticed a shadow disappear.

"Good morning Kagome." Lupin said, opening the door he noticed she looked at him in wonder.

"That was the Headmaster. He has informed me of the your events… and your departure and impact on the school."

Kagome smiled.

"Everyone fear me now?"

Remus shook his head. "No, everyone actually is wondering where you are. Headmaster Dumbledore told the school that you were sent home till we could settle to Ministry problems. But… seeing as you don't have a home you'll be here."

Kagome swung her legs off the bed and stood up.

"Will you leave?" she asked quietly, flattening down her hair she then pulled up her sleeves.

"On occasion, but Mrs. Weasley will be here and might take you to the burrow."

Kagome smiled a mile wide. Ron's mom!

"As in Ron Weasley's mom?"

Remus nodded and headed towards the door, "By the way. I'm glad your alright that was a nasty Bogart you messed with. I totally forgot to check the rooms, my apologies."

Kagome headed towards the door and they advanced down the stairs. Kagome's tummy growled in hunger, clutching her stomach she felt bandages. `Must have been some Bogart…'

Kagome and Professor Lupin ate and then he bid her farewell seeing as Mrs. Weasley was to be there shortly. Meanwhile Kagome thought she'd look around. Going back up the stairs she went down to the end of the hall and peered through the last room. Kagome awed at the room. It was large and green and had dusty furniture, a large cherry wood bed and a stained glass window with some sort of symbol on it. Gliding across the creaky wood floor she walked to the stained glass window. Looking out she noticed a bunch of kids laughing and hanging out. Kagome's heart cracked into two and dropped to her stomach. She wished she were back at Hogwarts… back with Ron and Hermione… back with Harry.

"I wonder when Mrs. Weasley will get here…"

Walking out of the room she decided it wouldn't hurt to look in another room. Walking she noticed it wasn't of much beauty as the other room but was equally eye catching. Walking towards the two twin beds that lay in the room something caught her eye. Down near the bed was a piece of paper, on the paper was a picture of two people moving and twirling around.

"Now who could this be?" She picked up the photo. Turning it over she noticed two names on it. Lily and James Potter. Turning it back over she watched the people smile, laugh, kiss, and hug like a real couple.

"Harry's parents…"

"HELLO? KAGOME? WHERE ARE YOU?" a shrilly voice echoed through the rooms. Kagome placed the picture in her pocket and went out of the room.

"I'm right here Mrs. Weasley!"

Kagome jogged down the stairs to meet a red headed woman, the same woman she had met at the train station. She had a smile on her face and looked a bit flustered.

"Oh dear there you are. I heard about the Ministry. Arthur, Ron's Dad, is trying to sort this whole thing out." She hugged Kagome then patted her on the shoulder.

"It drives me mad when the Ministry is butting into Hogwarts business!" She threw her hands in the air, "They don't have the right to expel you while you're at Hogwarts dear, only when you're out of Hogwarts." She gave a gentle smile.

"I hope so… I really miss Hogwarts," Kagome said giving a sigh, fully regretting it. She grabbed her stomach and winced.

"Dear? Are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley laced an arm around her waist, steadying her.

"OH my! Dear are you all right? What happened?"

Kagome took another deep breath, "I'm fine. Thank you. I had a nasty run in with a Bogart, that's all."

"A Bogart? Ugh! I swear! We just cleaned this house last year!" she gave a small laugh. "Well let's get you all cleaned up then we'll head to the Burrow."

Meanwhile with Harry, Ron, and Hermione

Harry fumed in anger. Dumbledore had merely skipped his meal last night just to go and talk to Luicius Malfoy along with Professor Lauren. It seemed odd. Even though he knew the whole story, the part where Luicius Malfoy came in, wasn't exactly planned. More or less he was stuck. With out Kagome.

"Harry you should eat mate." Harry was abruptly shaken out of his thoughts by his friend Ron's voice.

"Yeah you should." Hermione added.

Harry just sighed and grabbed a piece of toast from the table. After last night Harry had been asked questions by so many Gryffindor student that he swore that he'd kill Draco Malfoy. Many he refused to answer such as ` Is she really a Forbidden one?' or `What powers does she have?' It was really annoying.

"Happy?" Harry mumbled, toast-spitting on the table.

"Yes… Harry don't worry we know she's alright, if it bother you so much, then maybe-" A flock of screeching owls filled the air, immediately cutting off her voice.

A black and white speckled owl swooped down and landed in front of Harry. Harry looked quizzically at Ron and Hermione, no one knew who the owl had belonged too. The bird merely hopped closer peering its dark gray eyes at Harry and hooting impatiently.

"Alright, alright you dumb bird hold on…"

Harry slowly took the letter from the bird's beak. Turning the note over he slipped his finger under the seal and opened the letter.

Do not Worry Harry. She is fine. She is at the Burrow. She's a great girl. I'll have her write to you.

Remus Lupin

Harry took a deep breath of relief. She was safe…

"Harry whose it from?" Ron asked.

"Its… Professor Lupin."

"But why would Professor Lupin send you a letter?" Hermione asked curiously.

Harry broke into a grin. Hermione and Ron looked at him uneasily.

"She's at your house Ron."

"WHAT? WHOSE AT MY HOUSE?" he shouted, everyone starred at him.

"Sorry." he mumbled.

"Kagome's at your house Ron."

Hermione's eyes went the size of saucers.

"Is there anyway we can get in touch?" she asked. "We could send her the work she missed and well we could-" she stopped looking at the disgusted faces of Ron and Harry.

"Homework?" Ron moaned. "You've got to be kidding me!"

Harry shook his head. Ron was right. But Hermione's question was ringing clearly in his head. It rung as fast as his heart pounded. Kagome was safe…
