Chapter 12: The First Day of School
---Previously---
Dumbledore had sent McGonagall to grab Shippou, knowing that he was his only option for tomorrow, he needed a teacher for the dark arts class. He thought that Snape would work but he knew he now had trust issues with him. He had thought that he could trust him! Why was he so blinded... he thought that he could save him from his own folly, but now he could see now that this was pointless.
The knob opened and Shippou appeared in the doorway; his face contorted in confusion. Dumbledore looked up smiling, “Why, hello Shippou. I am in need of your assistance. My previous fill just left and I thought you would know a thing or two about The Dark Arts...” He trailed off and studied Shippou face and only found a slight grin.
“Of course, Headmaster it would be my pleasure,” he stop and turned looking out the window “But I wonder why me?” He looked at Dumbledore, his gaze piecing.
Dumbledore regarded him and smiled “Because I thought with your experience you would do a splendid job teaching The Dark Arts.” Shippou nodded and smiled.

The alarm clock rang. Kagome turned over and moaned softly. She rubbed the crust from her eyes, opening them slowly only to be blinded from the morning light. Her eyes finally adjusted and noticed that everyone was still asleep. She glanced at her clock, it said 6:25 A.M.
She sat up and rubbled around for her things, once she had them she got dressed in her school robes and left the room. When she came in the dormitory she saw that Harry was up already, his head resting in his hands “Good morning Harry, your up early.” Harry merely nodded in mute silence.
“Whats bugging you?” Kagome asked. Harry looked up and sighed “Nothing new.” She nodded, understanding. She sat in a chair next to him.
They both sat in silence for a long time, staring into the burning fire. “This will end sometime...” Kagome said, trying to break eerie silence. He nodded “It will, but I don't know how.” She stared into the fire a little longer but soon broke the silence again “We can't mope around like this, we have to go on head strong,” Harry looked up smiling grimly “Come on, lets go to the Great Hall and get this day over with.”
He stood up and stretch lazily “Your right, we got to move on...regardless of whats ahead...” She smiled, getting up herself. They soon left, their feet padding silently on the cold stone and out of the dormitory....

The demon crumbled, its ashes falling neatly to the cold stone floor. Hiei grinned, his white fangs glistening in the dim sunlight 'Thats what that little whelp was whining about?' He slid his Katana neatly in its scabbard and called Botan. She was just about to pop in when the ashes on the stone floor began to regenerate into the demon he had just killed. He quickly told her to stay were she was. He would have to question her later after he cleaned this mess up...
The demon grinned down at Hiei “What did I tell you? I”m immortal!” Hiei drew his blade and replied in a grim satisfaction “How many times have I heard that?”
The demon snarled and drew it's razor sharp circular blades out and quickly attacked. Hiei dodge with ease...

She sighed. Her black/misty hair shimmering in the dim light of the crystallized cavern. Her violate eyes blinking with persistent worry. In her cold sweat drenched hands she held a small letter.
Dear Andrell,
I am informed that you hold a valuable scroll that I am in need of... I mean not to bother you, but it is of grave need that I attain this scroll. I will send one of my escorts to bring you to my palace, if you agree... The scroll is called Soulbound.
Lord of Makai
Sesshomaru
She read the letter several times over. In cold light of her cavern she wrote her reply, with grim satisfaction. Knowing that it would soon be over.... The time has come....

He had patience... but waiting for a response from Andrell was becoming harder and harder. He closed his eyes willing the oncoming headache to disappear but only with failure.
This connection he had to with Kagome... It still puzzled him. What happened to cause this new development to occur? In the past when he was ruler of the wester lands and wandering around with now dead ward Rin. Back then he had only thought of her as a pitiful human miko. He had felt no connection that he could recall, but now it was... different...
But his thoughts where interrupted with a sudden knock at the door. He growled low in the throat out of pure annoyance. “Enter,” the door opened, making small creaking sounds. A small green toad step in, he bowed quickly and held his staff of flames near his clenched toad like hand. “Master Sesshomaru!!! I bring good news! Andrell has received you request and has written you back!” Sesshomaru held out his clawed hand and the toad demon quickly hurried towards his master, placing it quickly in his hand.
The toad stood there, his eyes glazed over in admiration. Sesshomaru glanced down with disgust and dismissed him with a wave of his hand. “Jaken leave this Sesshomaru.” Jaken frowned and did as he was told. When the door shut silently behind his servant he let out a sigh of relief. Jaken might be faithful to a point of disgust, but he was useful.
Drifting from his previous thoughts, he soon turned his attention to the letter in his clawed hand. He delicately opened the letter and read....
Dear Lord of Makai,
I have received your request... But I cannot be escorted to your estate for you must come to my home. Why you ask? Well, this scroll cannot leave my home because of my ancestors protective seal placed on it. I live in the eastern lands in a place called “Crystal reflection”. Come with the one who is connected to your soul...
Seer,
Andrell
He read the letter several times over and gave out a deep sigh. How was he supposed to get Kagome out of Hogwarts? How would she react to this? He also need Hiei to accompany him... It would most likely take a couple of days to get this over with. He soon left his office to inform Jaken, Ash, and Narell to watch over his estate and lands...

Kagome twiddled with a strand of her hair and let out a frustrated sigh. Her friends should have been here already... But they weren't. They were most likely sleeping in late. Or she just got up to early. She turned her gaze to her newly made companion. He was staring down at the table in deep thought. She then looked around her and only saw a couple of people up this early. She glanced at her watch its was only 6:40 A.M. Then she came to a conclusion that she got up to early... Oh well... they must get up around 7:00 A.M instead of 6:00 A.M. But she could just ask Harry...
She turned attention to Harry, he was still staring at the table in deep thought. “Uh... Harry? I have a question.” Harry looked up and starred at her “Yes?” Kagome looked around her and asked “What time do students usually get up?” He smiled and glanced at his watch. Then turned to Kagome “Well, usually we get up before eight, but I got up around this time because I couldn't sleep... um why did you?” Kagome blushed and looked down at the table. 'Why did I?'
“Um... well I just thought that we had to get up early. At least before 7:00 A.M.” Kagome replied. Harry smiled and shook his head “Nope... Wanna go to the library? We can stay there until 7:30 A.M.?” Harry asked. Kagome nodded and replied “Why not? Lets go!” Kagome and Harry got up. 'I wonder how big of a library they have?! It must be huge! YAY!' at that thought Kagome quickly fallowed Harry out of the Great Hall, towards the library.
Harry took her through a maze of corridors until they reached two heavy looking, double doors, reaching a least five or more feet above their heads. Kagome's expression turned to worry 'How am I going to get around this school?! Its so huge.' Harry turned to her, instantly reading her expression “I know... Its hard to find your way around this school, but you'll get used to it,” He said while turning to open the double doors “But I'll help you get to your first classes today.” Harry reassured her. Kagome smiled, feeling more at ease.
They both entered the library. It was HUGE! You could see shelfs upon shelfs for what seemed like miles! Kagome grinned, she loved library's! Harry lead her to a nearby table. He only gazed at the books that laid there with mild interest except for Kagome. She looked at them with a fascination. She picked one up with the title “History of Hogwarts” and immediately, she started reading.
Harry looked at her and noticed that she dived into the first book she pick up. He sighed and smiled. 'Not another Hermione!' Shaking his head he pick a book up and started to read...

The clock soon turned to 7:30 A.M. Kagome quickly unstuck herself from the book to Harry's relief. She gave him a big grin “Let's go!” she said looking at her watch. He nodded and put down the book he was reading. She fallowed his lead, making sure to note the way they took to get to the Great Hall.
The Great Hall was full of students. They look practically dead, some were sleeping sitting up. Others were wide awake with foolish grins plastered on their faces while poking the ones half asleep. Kagome shook her head and walk down the Gryffindor table until they reached the place were they saw Hermione, Ron, Richard and Joan. Kagome happily waved at them, they waved back and ushered herself and Harry over.
Once seated they were bombarded with questions. Harry sighed and shook his head while Kagome blushed furiously. “Where were you two this morning?” Ron ask, while wiggling his eyebrows to suggest something very wrong. Kagome in turn glared daggers at him. He gulped and hid behind Hermione. She turned her head toward Ron, laughing “I don't think your gonna get away with that...” Kagome turned her attention to Hermione, agreeing with her “He's not, just you wait Ron...” Ron gulped again, his face flustered. Kagome ended up telling them what happen this morning to her embarrassment. They laughed, but reassured her that they would help her around school.
They were soon interrupted when Dumbledore spoke up, silencing the students “A warm greeting to all of you and our new students. Classes shall began after our morning meal. If you find yourself lost just ask any of the older students and they will point you in the right direction. Tardiness will be forgiven for this oncoming week-” He went on with the rest of the announcements, but stop for a brief moment before continuing “I'm regretful to say that our new Defense Against Dark Art teacher has other matters concerning him at the moment, but a unexpected volunteer has taking his place for a time being. May I represent to you, Shippou! He shall be teaching you for at least a week, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts!”
Shippou stood from his seat, blushing all the while. The student body erupted into loud clapping, but quieted down at the motion of Dumbledore's raised hand “Now dig in!” and as he said that food magically appeared on the tables. Soon the Great Hall erupted into conversation. But in the corner, siting next to Hagrid, Snape sat there with a knowing sneer spreading across his face. He would find out what was going through that oaf's mind! He wondered... was he discovered? He might have to treed around here more carefully.
Kagome sat there, a smile adoring her face. She was happy for Shippou, but why him? She was sure there were other teachers able to do the job... But her thoughts where brought to a erupt stop when Hermione gave her a questioning look “Why is Shippou teaching the dark arts this week?” She ask, confused.
Kagome turned to Harry and the others. They all looked confused. Where was Sesshomaru? And why was Shippou teaching the dark arts? Kagome face turned deep scarlet as the memory of the letter and the necklaces came to mind. She was silent for a while, but she finally spoke up “He's teaching because Sesshomaru is gone in search of something...” They looked at each other, shaking their heads. Harry cocked his head, lifting one elegant eyebrow, his voice holding a little mischief “What's he looking for, Kagome?” If it was possible Kagome turned even more red “I don't know!” She squeaked.
“I think you do know.” Harry said with a little more mischief laced in his voice. Kagome shook her head attempting to ignore him “I don't.” Harry sighed letting it go for little while, but she was not off the hook. Soon the owls came flying in dropping random packages, letters, and schedule's. One black Owl came in landing gracefully, dropping its burdens by Harry and flying off. Harry looked down a little startled. Picking up The Daily Prophet wrapped around a small concealed letter. Harry gazed down at the letter and quickly tucked it in his pocket, knowing it was not the time to open it.
He was about to hand Hermione The Daily Prophet, but stopped. On the first page was a headline of another burning of some muggle's home with the sign of the dark mark above the remains of what used to be someone's house. His eyes glazed over with rage, but slowly let it go with a deep sigh... He knew that he could do nothing about, not yet anyway. 'Just you wait, Voldemort!' He thought venomously as he handed The Daily Prophet to Hermione.
Soon enough you could hear a groan from Ron, Harry and Hermione. “Divination! Not that wretched class!” Hermione screeched. Kagome gave her a curious look. What was so wrong about Divination? Wasn't it about predictions of sorts? “Err... whats wrong with Divination?” Kagome asked in confusion.
Hermione features turned to shock as she realized that Kagome didn't know how horrible that class was “Do you have that wretched class?” Hermione asked, feeling sorry for her if she did. Kagome slowly nodded, still confused “Yes... whats wrong with it?” Kagome asked slowly. Hermione looked at Ron and Harry and quickly nodded “You'll see... just wait.” Kagome nodded with narrowed eyes...

“Lets see... first class is Care of Magical Creature's and then its The Defenses Against Dark Arts...” Kagome mumbled to herself while following Harry, Ron, and Hermione who had the same schedule as she did. Joan and Richard only had two classes with them, Defense Against Dark Arts and Divination. Harry led them outside towards Hagrid's hut wondering what he had in store for them, whatever it was he knew it was going to be fun.
Kagome cocked her head at the scaly clawed hand in the thicket and realized what Hagrid had for them. It reminded her of old fables about the knight, the princes, and the evil dragon that the west thought of in their culture. In her culture dragons were in a sense holy creatures that brought on the rain from the heaven's. (Sorry if I'm wrong about this!) Soon they arrived at Hagrid's hut. The half giant saw them, grinning he gave Kagome a bone crushing hug. She smiled at this and hugged him back. He turn to Harry also giving him a hug, all the while Harry's feet dangled loosely in the air.
“So 'ow 'ave you been 'andling yourself?” She grinned up at him and said quietly “Just fine! And you?” Hagrid looked down at her “Been doing just fine myself and ye are in for a treat! My, when Dumbledore 'eard of my idea... err.. never mind ye...” Harry shook his head. Hagrid was always letting things slip... He glanced into the thicket were smoke was coming out in ringlets and noticed a clawed, scaly hand curl into a fist. Soon realization dawned on him, it was a dragon! How did Hagrid convinced Dumbledore?
Soon everyone arrived, crowding around Hagrid “Come along now.” He said eagerly, leading them into the thick woods. Soon they arrived in a large clearing. Almost immediately the majority of the students eyes widen at the blue scaled dragon in the thicket, it's massive wings spreading out in annoyance at the small group of students. Twin horns curled to point at each other while its majestic tail curled around its massive legs. “Now, I warn ye all not to get to close to her.”
The students only nodded numbly, while gaping at the rare creature in front of them. Kagome cocked her head at the Water Dragon. She reached her hand out and immediately noticed a reaction from the scaled creature. It bowed its massive head towards her, recognizing her as one of its own, but this did not go unnoticed. Hagrid put a hand on Kagome's shoulders whispering “I think it likes you,” Kagome smiled, nodding her head “Well go on, get over there!” Hagrid laughed with glee while pushing her towards the dragon. She stumbled a little and cranked her head up towards it. The dragon leaned its massive head down to the ground, its sea green eyes looking down at her with respect. Kagome laid a gentle hand on it's rough scale, stroking it. It immediately started purring, bringing a gentle smile to her lips.
Harry could only gape at Kagome and the dragon in wonder along with Ron and Hermione. “How did she do that!” Harry suddenly shouted, snapping Ron and Hermione out of their trances. Hermione shook her her head as if to gain a good standing “What race is she? She couldn't have done that if she was human.” Hermione abruptly asked. Ron and Harry just stared at her, shaking their heads “Who knows? She never told us, but then again we never asked... I just assumed that she was a human with blue hair!” Harry whispered.
They both nodded their heads in agreement “Lets just ask her!” Ron added. Hermione glared at him and almost shouted “Ron! Thats rude! We can't just walk up to her and demand answers!” Ron only mumbled to himself, staring at the ground in annoyance. Harry rolled his eyes, knowing that Kagome most likely heard them.
Kagome stood there, her hand still stroking the ruff scales of the dragon with narrowed eyes. So they were curious? She knew it might not be good to tell them. But she might as well... its not like she didn't trust them... She would tell them later, in the dormitory. In the distance she heard Hagrid's ruff voice “Now thats enough Kagome!” Kagome hugged the snout of the dragon, giving it her blessings and went back towards the group of students.
“Now come along,” he said while spreading out his arms “Thats it!” the students gathered around, stealing glances at the dragon and Kagome while whispering to one another. “How did she do that?!” Kagome heard the whispered question from one of the many students and sighed, glancing at Harry and the others who were ushering her over.
Harry laid a comforting hand on her shoulder whispering “I know what its like... You'll get used to it.” Kagome smiled while glancing down at Harry whispering back “Thanks.” He smiled back, nodding.
Hagrid grinned down at the gathered students “Now all of ye kids are for a treat!” he paused for a moment, letting it sink in “For your first assignment ye are to learn 'ow to take care of a dragon! Ye all will each be given a dragon egg to take care of and nurture.” Almost all the students eyes widen and soon Hermione's hand shot up “How will we know how to hatch and take care of them?” Hagrid turned his attention towards her and replied “Why all ye have to do is turn to page 209 titled the care of dragons.” Soon another hand shot up “Will we be able to keep them?!” a girl with brown hair and gold eyes asked. Hagrid grinned at this, replying “Of course ye well, think of it as a parting gift from here!”
The students cheered, jumping up and down with excitement. All Harry could do was stare at Hagrid with shock. How was he able to do this?! He would just have to ask him. Wouldn't be hard to get it out of him, would it? Unknown to him, Kagome was thinking the same thing, why not ask?
Kagome smiled, she already had a dragon, but she guessed it would be good for Yasei to have another one of her kind to play with. But what puzzled her was how Hagrid got through to Dumbledor and how he found all these dragon egg's. So her only solution is to ask Hagrid. Meanwhile Hermione was giggling in excitement while Ron stood there, dumbfounded. How? How would he be able to take care of a DRAGON!!!! Back then he could barely keep track of Scabbers, but then again the real Scabbers was one of He-who-must-not-be-named faithful servants... DAMMIT!!! He would just have to try and if worse came to worse then he could give it to Hagrid, telling him that he was unable to care for it. But wait... he did have Hermione to help him, she would know what to do.
Hermione couldn't contain her excitement anymore! She was getting a dragon of her very own! She knew it would be sort of difficult to take care of at first, but it would be worth it! She also knew Ron would be having trouble with his dragon and sooner or later he would come crying for help or maybe he wouldn't, which would be good for her.
Harry was walking ever closer to Hagrid, who was at the time muttering to himself while gathering dragon eggs carefully into a cart that he would bring out to the students. But then Harry noticed that Kagome was walking right next to him.
“Are you going to ask him to?” She whisper. Her only reply was a nod from Harry who grind up at her. She smiled back as they continued their short trek towards the cart of dragon eggs. Hagrid had just placed the last dragon egg next to the others and smiled. He turned around only to be greeted by two curious students; Harry and Kagome. He sighed, know that they wanted answers and soon.
Kagome was the first to begin “Hagrid we have both been meaning to talk to you,” Harry looked up at Hagrid, noting the horrified look in his eyes, he must have known what was coming to him “How did you get Dumbledore to agree with this?” Hagrid twiddled his thumbs nervously and sighed “I shouldn't be telling you this. 'E 'ave my 'ead for this!” he mumbled, stealing a glance a the dragon eggs “Well ye know... I thought that ye kids needed some protection from 'him'. They would be able to protect ye young folks. I want no more deaths.” Hagrid whispered. Harry nodded reaching up to put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Hagrid continued his voiced ruff “Dumbledore agreed to this ye know... 'e knows the Ministry will throw a fit, but he knows they can't do a thing since it for ye kids protection.”
“Just one more question... How did you find all these dragon eggs?” Kagome asked, curiosity shining in her eyes. Hagrid grinned at this “I can't tell ye that missy, its a secret between me and Dumbledore.” Hagrid said in a low voice, smiling.
Harry and Kagome both nodded, understanding. “Well ye two don't mind helping, do ye?” Harry and Kagome both looked at each other, nodding their heads “Of course well help.” they both chirped. He sweat dropped at their enthusiasm and then directed them towards the cart of dragon eggs “I want ye to help me get it over to them. They both nodded, each grabbing an end or the cart with Hagrid helping them. They soon arrived over to the crowed of students, who where all cheering with glee.
“Well come along,” Hagrid started while shuffling his feet “Get your dragon eggs!” Soon a rush of student ran toward the cart attempting to grab the best dragon egg. Hagrid had to calm them down, telling them that they had to be in a neat single file line to get their dragon egg. With a little frustration they finally cooperated, forming a neat line.
Soon enough Kagome was next in line. She gazed down at the dragon eggs, knowing what each kind of dragon egg was. Most of them were elemental dragons, while others were soul dragons, some were even Neutral dragons which were rare indeed. Deciding quickly, she picked the Neutral Dragon egg which was only one out of two which were present. Cradling the black and white egg to her chest, she walk over to a lone tree and sat down, waiting for the others.
Soon enough Harry and Hermione found their way to Kagome, both deciding to join her. Harry was cradling a white dragon egg while Hermione was cradling a black dragon egg. Kagome looked up and smiled, greeting them “Hi!” they waved back happily, but then Harry looked over to the egg she had cradle in her arms. Why was her dragon egg was black and white, non of the others were like that... he was about to ask her when she spoke up “In this egg is a Neutral Dragon and your egg is a White Dragon while Hermione's is a Black Dragon. Good, evil, and neutral, what a odd coincidence.” Harry and Hermione just looked at each other, confused. “Um.... How did you know that? I know it might be obvious to an extent, but still...”
Kagome grinned at them “I know that you guys want to know what I am...” she abruptly said just as Ron showed up with his silver blue dragon egg. Ron having heard them gazed at the ground nervously along with Hermione and Harry. “Yes...” Harry said quietly. Kagome gave them all a cheerful smile, startling them all “You're not mad?” Hermione ask startled.
“I'm not, but you know we can't discuss it here, someone might overhear us. But we can discuss this in the dormitory ” They all nodded, smiling. Ron sat next to them, grinning “What kind of dragon is this?” Ron said, showing his egg to her. Kagome gazed down at the dragon egg, smiling “That is a Electric Dragon, your lucky I only saw a couple of those.” She said quietly. He gazed down at the dragon egg, grinning even more.
The rest of class went on without any incident and soon they were off to their next class; The Defense Against Dark Arts.
