Chapter 3: Back To Hell………er, I Mean School!
 
 
“So, who do you reckon gets the spare bed and who gets the cot?” Ron asked. Harry shrugged and scratched his head, looking at the guest bed he usually used in Ron's room and the cot, which looked like it would snap and fold in on you as you slept.
 
“Well he says that he could handle anything, didn't he? I'll take the bed since I'm just a weak human.” Harry said and grinned. Ron grinned back at him and went to the window. Since they had arrived, Inuyasha had either been on the roof or in a tree near Ron's window.
 
“Hey, Inuyasha! Harry says he'll take the bed and you can sleep on the cot, okay?”
 
“Not likely baka.” The hanyou snapped back. Harry heard the groaning of branches and some leaves rustling. But since Inuyasha didn't appear at the window, Harry figured he must just have changed positions. “I'm sleeping here.”
 
“In the tree? But I thought you were part dog, not cat!” Ron called, grinning.
 
“Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!”
 
“Shit!” Was Ron's reply as a tree branch came smashing through the window. The two wizards stared at the tree branch filling the room before sighing.
 
“Hopefully, we can get Fred or George to fix this before Mum sees this.” Ron muttered.
 
“Ronald Bilius Weasley!”
 
“Damn.”
 
+++++
 
“Oh Ron, you shouldn't have irritated him like that. He absolutely hates cats.” Hermione scolded. Ron snorted as he finished scrubbing out the fireplace, covered with soot.
 
“Now she tells me.” Ron muttered to Harry who grinned. Hermione over heard and frowned.
 
“Well, why do you think I didn't bring Crookshanks with me? I've seen how Inuyasha treats cats.” Hermione sniffed. “Poor things.”
 
“By the way, did you bring any DVDs of that anime?” Harry asked. Hermione shook her head.
 
“They're too expensive. Plus they are rather hard to find since they're so popular. I usually watched it on TV when I'm home during the summer.” Hermione said. Harry cursed.
 
“What does it matter anyway? Hermione seems to be our resident expert on him and his friends. She can fill us in.” Ginny said, looking up from her book.
 
“It matters because the ritual summons a past version of my soul. Which means Inuyasha has already died. I want to find out how.” Harry replied. “If some one that strong can get killed, I want to know how. Even he must have weakness.”
 
“His weakness is Kagome and Kikyou and their either 500 years in the past or in Tokyo, Japan.” Hermione stated. “Besides, he's already said he killed Naraku, and he was the main villain in the series Harry. My guess would be he died of natural causes.”
 
“Oiy, why the hell does it matter what I died of?” Inuyasha's voice replied and they turned to see him in the doorway to the house. “Way I see it, I'm here now, bakas. And I have to die before now to be put into you, baka. So I sure as hell don't die here.”
 
“But you might help me stop Voldemort and then get whisked away back to the past to die from wounds during the battle!” Harry said, and Inuyasha snorted.
 
“Then I died with honor. No man could ask for less, baka. Now I'm going to get some ramen. I smell food being cooked.” Inuyasha replied and padded off to the kitchen. Everyone was silent for a moment before Ron got up.
 
“I'm going to tell Mum I'm finished so she can re-light the floo and I can eat too.” Ron said and Ginny followed him, setting her book on the couch. Hermione went to go as well but paused next to Harry, who sat thinking. She gently laid her hand on his shoulder. He looked up, startled.
 
“I know you're worried what happened to Sirius will happen to Inuyasha, Harry. But he's incredibly strong and he'll be fine. Besides, what happened last year wouldn't happen again.” Hermione said and headed off for the kitchen. Harry sat there, and stared at the floo for a moment before it sprang to life again, the fire crackling merrily.
 
+++++
 
“Harry! Inuyasha! Hurry down, we need to go to Diagon Alley!” Mrs. Weasley called. It was a few weeks later. Harry had quickly finished his homework to get it out of the way (Hermione's nagging was also a part of it) and he had spent most of his days either reading his books from Jason or flying. Jason had flooed twice, wanting to know how Harry was and if he'd work for him again next summer. Harry was delighted to hear from his old boss but reluctantly turned down the offer of the job. Professor Dumbledore had been visiting every other day to continue Harry's Occlumency lessons and during a break during one lesson, he had confirmed Harry's suspicions. The Malfoys had indeed followed Harry home that night. Had Harry portkeyed, it may have taken longer to find him, but by the end of the week, Harry still may have been found.
 
When Harry asked about Malfoy Senior's status since he had been caught at the Department of Mysteries, he was saddened to learn that he had bought his way out of his cell at Azkaban. There also had been a massive break out just a day after his release and the rest had been freed. Dumbledore said, that while Fudge was being helpful about stopping the Death Eaters, he still refused to believe his good friend Lucius was a willing Death Eater. According to Fudge, Malfoy was spying for him and was doing well.
 
Harry was happy Dumbledore wasn't cutting him out from things involving Voldemort and his Death Eater's, he was upset about Fudge. When he asked Dumbledore why Fudge was still in office, the Headmaster admitted that he could not call for a vote of no confidence alone. At least a third of the Wizengamot needed to call for a vote of no confidence in the Minister and two-thirds to approve it for the Minster to be ousted. Dumbledore confided he had the votes to call for the vote, he wasn't sure positive it would happen. If he called for it and Fudge wasn't ousted, the Ministry would turn on them again and that would be disastrous.
 
“Coming Mrs. Weasley!” Harry replied, hurrying down the stairs. While Harry had a busy summer, he hadn't seen much of Inuyasha. Ron, who was busy loafing around and relaxing, and who also encouraged Harry to do so with him when Harry had free time, also hadn't seen much of the hanyou. He was scarcely seen. Often disappearing for day or two as he explored the area around the Burrow, and the outskirts of Ottery St. Catchpole. He usually showed up during a mealtime and stayed for day. While some people thought he wouldn't be around if Harry got into trouble, this was disproved when Harry was riding his Firebolt and chasing a snitch he had received from Dumbledore. (The Professor had given it and his Firebolt back to him, his eyes twinkling madly has he informed him that his Quidditch ban was lifted and he needed to practice for the upcoming season.)
 
Harry had been diving down towards the snitch when the tip of his Firebolt had caught on a treetop. His broom had gotten stuck in the branches of the tree (scratched up but unharmed) while Harry and continued to zoom forward. Just as he was about to slam into the ground face first and break his neck, Inuyasha had appeared out of nowhere and snatched him out of mid-air. After they had landed on the ground, the hanyou and dropped Harry onto the ground with a snort and leaped into the tree to toss down the Firebolt. Then he was gone again, leaving a confused Harry clutching his broom.
 
“Inuyasha!” Mrs. Weasley called again, as Harry entered the living room. Silence was her only reply and she sighed. She was heading outside to call the Hanyou, when she let out a shriek as Inuyasha dropped down from the rooftop right in front of her.
 
“What is it wench?” he damned and she scowled at him. He huffed and crossed his arms, waiting.
 
“We have to leave soon. We need to go to Diagon Alley after we take this portkey there.” She said, holding a large plastic circle in her hand. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her.
 
“What for? And why can't I stay here?” he demanded. This argument had been the same since Professor Dumbledore had briefed Inuyasha on some thing she may need to get to fit into their world better. Mrs. Weasley glared at him and everyone winced as they recognized her yelling face. Inuyasha also recognized the danger, and his ears flattened. “Alright, I'll go.” He relented.
 
Satisfied, Mrs. Weasley nodded and led him to the living room where Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione waited. She held the circle out and everyone grasped it, Inuyasha albeit a bit reluctantly. When the clock struck ten, they all vanished.
 
+++++
 
They reappeared in the Leaky Cauldron, Inuyasha and Harry crashing to the floor as they did.
 
“I'll never get the landing right.” Harry muttered, and Inuyasha snorted in agreement. The pub was relatively empty, and no one noticed their arrival. It was a Monday, not busy day.
 
“Harry, we need to go to Gringotts to attend Sirius's will reading.” Mrs. Weasley said and Harry nodded. “Then we'll do everyone's school shopping while we're here and get Inuyasha a wand.”
 
“Why do I need one of those blasted sticks?” Inuyasha muttered. Harry shrugged but could hazard a guess. If Dumbledore was going to try and keep Inuyasha with Harry at all times, that mean the hanyou needed to attend classes at Hogwarts and that required a wand.
 
“Harry, dear, if for some reason you get separated from us, use this.” Mrs. Weasley said, handing Harry a small, empty vial with a cork. He stared at it curiously until Mrs. Weasley explained. “It's a portkey dear. Just hold onto it and pop the cork. It will send you right to the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts.” Harry nodded and pocketed the vial as Mrs. Weasley led them into Diagon Alley. As they entered through the archway, Harry saw the stares Inuyasha was bringing as people pointed at his ears and murmured to each other. Inuyasha walked proudly, pleased he could go about with out a hat on his head, and despite the stares and looks he was drawing. Harry even heard a few girls giggling at each other. They came to a halt as a small girl no more than five scurried away from her mother and stepped in Inuyasha's path. He cocked an eyebrow as he stared down at her.
 
“Um, Mister could I pwetty pwease pet yur eerz?” she said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but to everyone's surprise got down on one knee and bent his head down towards the little girl. She squealed with joy and gently ran her hands over his ears, which he flicked under her hands. She giggled as he straightened and stood up. She hugged his leg and scampered off. Inuyasha caught their looks and snorted, crossing his arms.
 
“She would have cried if I'd said no and it hurts my ears,” he stated. Everyone was hiding a smile as they walked up the stairs to Gringotts. Inside, Inuyasha watched each of the goblins closely, growling when one came too close to him.
 
“Mr. Potter.” An elderly goblin said, drawing their attention. He had a long set of hair on his head that was wrapped into a ponytail. “My name is Comvaya, and I'm in charge of all business concerning inheritances. If you will accompany me, we shall get this mattered settled straight away.”
 
As everyone went to follow Harry, Comvaya, turned back to the group.
 
“I am afraid only Mr. Potter may come.” He stated. Mrs. Weasley waved him off.
 
“Go on Harry, we'll visit our vault and wait for you here.” She said and Harry nodded, following the Goblin into the back offices. He entered a room that had only a single piece of paper and a quill on table. There was chair on each side. Camvaya took one while Harry sat in the other.
 
“Mr. Potter, I have been informed that you do not know about wizard wills so I will explain them briefly. Unlike Muggles, wizards or witches do not leave letters to the inheritor. They simple designate who receives which of the deceased's assets. You, Mr. Potter have been named the sole heir of the black fortune.” Comvaya said, looking the paper over. “Please extend your hand Mr. Potter.”
 
Disappointed, Harry extended his hand. He let out a startled yelp has Comvaya pricked his palm with the quill. Then he handed the quill to Harry.
 
“Please sign at the bottom and I will inform you of your newest assets.” Comvaya stated. Harry nodded and signed on the place he was supposed to. The parchment glowed for a moment before Comvaya took it.
 
“Mr. Potter. You have received the Black fortune, approximately 200 million galleons. You have also received the Black house and the Black Dragon ranch in Romania. Including various jewels and treasures, it has been noted that your attention be drawn to the picture pensive of Sirius Black. It has been requested that you take this pensive to a wizarding artist who will then make a portrait of Mr. Black.” Comvaya read and then rolled up the parchment, before clapping his hands on it, making it disappear. “Anything else, Mr. Potter?”
 
“I………………um…… ;……..money from vault?” Harry replied stupidly, trying to comprehend that he was now a multi-millionaire. Comvaya nodded before opening a drawer on his side of the table.
 
“How much from the inheritance would you like?” Comvaya asked.
 
“Um……..a thousand?” Harry replied, still in shock. Comvaya nodded again and did something inside the drawer before pulling out a small sack that jingled. He set it on the table.
 
“At thousand galleons, Mr. Potter. The rest shall be transfer to your vault. I'll lead you out now sir.” Comvaya said, standing. Harry followed stupidly, clutching the bag to his chest. Out in the lobby, the others were waiting for Harry. Comvaya turned to Harry.
 
“Good day to you, Mr. Potter.” He said, turning to leave.
 
“Um……..thank you?” Harry replied, still in shock. Comvaya paused before nodding and then left. The others hurried to Harry who stood there in shock.
 
“Harry, dear is everything okay?” Mrs. Weasley asked. Harry nodded rapidly, staring down at the bag he clutched in his hands.
 
“Harry, what did Sirius say in his will?” Hermione asked. Harry gave her a blank look before shaking himself.
 
“He left a pensive behind for me to use to make a portrait of him.” Harry said.
 
“Oh, Harry that's wonderful!”
 
“Yeah, mate! You can talk to him again!”
 
“Yeah, great, can we go eat now? Preferably ramen?”
 
+++++
 
After a quick lunch, they started their school shopping. Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions was their first stop. It was a disaster. Inuyasha refused to be fitted for robes and Mrs. Weasley refused to believe that Inuyasha Firerat clothing cleaned and healed themselves. In the end, Inuyasha only shredded one set of clothes and Mrs. Weasley only relented when Inuyasha tore his own sleeve to prove his point.
 
Next was Flourish & Blotts Bookstore, where there was little fuss. They had gotten their owl result a week before and everyone one did well, even Ron. Hermione got an owl in every subject, and was the first person to receive 17 owls. Harry got 13 and Ron was close behind with 11. Harry even got the O in potions he needed. He had smirked when he thought of Snape's reaction to the news. After getting all their books for their classes, they dragged Hermione out and headed for the Apothecary shop to refill their supplies, except for Ron, who had dropped the subject. They even picked up supplies and a cauldron for Inuyasha. Mrs. Weasley had a letter from Professor Dumbledore on what to get the hanyou and she was trying her best to follow the instructions.
 
“Next is Olivanders, then home.” She stated. They group entered the shop, the bell ringing. It was quiet before Mr. Olivander appeared from behind the counter.
 
“Ah, Mr. Potter. Holly, 11", supple, single phoenix tail feather?” Mr. Olivander stated and Harry nodded. “What brings you and your friends here today?”
 
“My friend Inuyasha here needs a wand sir. His was broken during the move here.” Harry said, gesturing to Inuyasha who stepped forward. Olivander looked him over and nodded to himself.
 
“Please hold out your wand arm sir.” Mr. Olivander replied. Glancing at Harry, who raised his right arm, Inuyasha lifted his right. The tape measure began going right away and Mr. Olivander pulled out a small box.
 
“8 inches, oak, bendy, unicorn tail hair. Give it a whirl.” He stated. Inuyasha lifted an eyebrow at him but flicked the wand, rather harshly too. The counter gave a loud crunch as it collapsed.
 
“No, no, try this one. 13 inches, willow, inflexible, griffin hair.” Mr. Olivander said. Inuyasha picked it up and twirl it, shattering the glass in the door which Mrs. Weasley fixed right after she fixed the counter. This went on for almost an hour, wand after wand being tried, and causing rather interesting results with each try. He even turned Ron into frog, which caused Ginny to burst out laughing until she was turned into a snail with the next wand. With each new wand, Mr. Olivander got more and more excited.
 
“Mmmmmm, as challenging as young Mr. Potter I see. I wonder…” Harry felt chill sweep through him as those familiar words were uttered. Mr. Olivander went to the wand in the display and brought it to Inuyasha.
 
“Please, try this one.” Mr. Olivander, startling everyone but Inuyasha when he didn't state what the wand was first. Inuyasha gently grasped the wand in his hand and lifted it. He was instantly filled with warmth, deep and all encompassing. He closed his eyes and smiled, surprising every one.
 
“This one.” Inuyasha stated, opening his eyes. Mr. Olivander nodded to himself and eyed the wand curiously.
 
“12 inches, oak, flexible, and the hair, ah the hair.” He said and Inuyasha waited expectantly. “I remember every wand I've sold, Mr. Inuyasha, every wand. The hair in this wand was used for one other purpose a long time again. When I was gathering materials to open this fine business of mine, I traveled abroad. I purchased this hair for almost 10,000 galleons.”
 
Mrs. Weasley paled but Olivander smiled re-assuringly at her.
 
“Not to worry. I won't charge nearly that much, but this wand is special. It is hair from a Japanese priestess. She used it to hold together a jewel she fixed. Then, after it was gone, the hair was placed in a shrine. I was able to purchase the hair quite a while ago, and I had hoped one day some lucky soul would purchase that wand.” Olivander stated. Inuyasha looked down at the wand and ran his left hand over it lovingly.
 
“Kagome.” He murmured, and looked at Mr. Olivander. “How much?”
 
“50 galleons sir.” Olivander quoted and Mrs. Weasley winced. She was about to open her purse when Harry stepped forward and placed a large number of galleons in Mr. Olivander's open hand.
 
“100 galleons sir.” Harry stated. “A wand holster as well for myself and Inuyasha would be nice.”
 
“Certainly. The dragon hide ones, I think. You do know they strap onto your arm?” Olivander asked and Harry nodded. He then motioned to Inuyasha who stopped staring at his new wand and looked at Harry.
 
“What?” he snapped.
 
“I need one of your hairs.” Harry whispered and Inuyasha frowned at him. Then he shrugged and caught one in his fingertips. With a wince, he yanked it out and handed it to Harry.
 
“Mr. Olivander? I wonder if I might ask for a favor?” Harry said and, Olivander laid the wand holsters on the counter, giving Harry a curious look.
 
“Yes, Mr. Potter?”
 
“You know my wand is brother with, Voldemort's wand. I was wondering, if you could perhaps make one for me? Custom made?” Harry asked and Olivander nodded.
 
“Yes, Mr. Potter. However, you would need a core that was very familiar with you, otherwise the wand might not work for you.” Mr. Olivander replied. Harry handed Inuyasha's hair over to Mr. Olivander who looked it over. Then he nodded.
 
“I'll send the wand to you when arrive at school Mr. Potter. Good day to you.” He said, staring at the wand as he headed into the back. Harry picked up the wand holsters and they headed for the Leaky Cauldron where they had left the plastic circle. After everyone had grabbed it, Mrs. Weasley spoke the word home and they vanished.
 
Only to re-appear in the middle of Harry's surprise birthday party.
 
“Surprise!”
 
+++++
 
“Good party?” Inuyasha asked lazily, his leg swinging gently as he lay on a tree branch. Harry looked up at the hanyou, startled. He should have known.
 
“Not bad. It was bit hot in there, I needed so air.” Harry stated. Inuyasha grunted and rolled over, so he could look down at Harry.
 
“I don't understand why you humans need to celebrate your birthdays. Kind of pointless counting how old you are, isn't it?” Inuyasha asked and Harry looked at him curiously.
 
“Don't you know when you were born?” he asked, sitting under the tree. The hanyou snorted and rolled over again.
 
“Not really. I know I was born in the spring, but that's about it.” Inuyasha said, and sat up to scoot towards the tree trunk, his back resting against it. “I noticed something, your parents aren't here. What happened to them pup?”
 
“They died, a long time ago.” Harry replied, swallowing at the suddenly lump in his throat. It was silent for a moment, the sounds of the party and crickets chirping in the night.
 
“Mine died when I was young too.”
 
Harry was startled at the revelation, and looked up at the hanyou who was watching the starry sky.
 
“I guess it's something we have to get used to in both lives, eh?” Harry joked and Inuyasha grunted. They each sat there, both watching the night sky and thinking their own thoughts. It was compatible silence, something that both understood there was no need speak.
 
“I guess I better get back to the party.” Harry said, standing up to brush his jeans off. As he headed back inside, he heard Inuyasha say something to him that made his pause.
 
“You know, she likes you.”
 
“What? Who is that? Ginny?” Harry asked, surprised. The hanyou grunted and looked at the-boy-who-lived.
 
“The brown haired one. I can smell it.” Inuyasha replied and Harry frowned.
 
“But how-?”
 
“Wenches have a unique scent when they think about a man like that, baka.” Inuyasha stated and fell silent. Harry thought for a minute before his face reddened.
 
“She's probably just thinking about, Ron.” Harry stated. Inuyasha said nothing and Harry went back to his party, thinking about the gift Hermione had given him and wondering what it meant that she had given him a new watch, instead of the usual book this year. And wondering if those glances she gave him and Ron when they played chess were for him or Ron.
 
+++++
 
“Harry! Harry! Have you seen my shoes?!” Ron called out in panic.
 
“Yes, Ron, they're on your feet.” Harry replied, sighing as he sat on his trunk.
 
“Oh. So…………what else do I need?”
 
Harry groaned and watched his best friend ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. Ginny was also waiting with her trunk, reading a letter from Dean as she sat on her trunk as well. Hermione was going to meet them on the platform with her parents. Inuyasha was sitting on the couch, a backpack Hermione had gotten him full of his school supplies.
 
“Ron, we have to hurry, the portkey Professor Dumbledore will be going off any minute.” Inuyasha snorted at this, while Ron finally stopped running around and shoved some last minute things into his trunk. He finally sat down as Mrs. Weasley handed Ginny the end of a string that Ran the length of the room. She gave the other end to Harry who took it. Inuyasha got up and shoulder his pack, walked over to Harry. He picked up Hedwig's cage, and plopped down on Harry's trunk, also grasping part of the string as he balanced Hedwig and her cage on his lap. Harry's owl gave a soft hoot at being disturbed from her nap and put her head back under her wing. Ginny part of the string as well and Mrs. Weasley grasped the middle. Fifteen minutes till 11, the portkey went off and they all were whisked away to 9 & 3/4.
 
Harry blinked his eyes rapidly at the sudden increase in sunlight and stood. They grabbed some empty carts that had been left for them and put their trunks on. Inuyasha carried Hedwig's cage and casually walked along. He ignored the stares form the others and walked toward the train. Like with the trip to Diagon Alley, Professor Dumbledore had also shown up to explain his plan to get Inuyasha with Harry to Hogwarts. Like Harry had suspected, he was going to enrolled as an exchange student. While it did not happen often, it had happened it recent enough history to not raise the Ministry's suspicions. Dumbledore had told Inuyasha what to expect and Harry had to admit the hanyou was doing quite well considering.
 
“Harry!” Hermione called, hurrying over with her own cart. She turned and waved behind her, and Harry saw her parents, grinning knowingly at them. They waved back.
 
“Feh! Onnas.” Inuyasha muttered, shaking his head. Harry frowned, knowing the translation spell had missed that word but couldn't help to wonder what it meant……….
 
“Harry, we have to hurry!” Ron called, shooting past. Startled, Harry glanced at the clock, noticing it was 5 till eleven. They all hurried onto the train and got aboard. They found an empty compartment somewhere in the middle. Hermione set Crookshanks' basket on her lap as Inuyasha shoved Hedwig's cage into Harry's arms. They all sat down to enjoy the train ride, except Inuyasha who look irritable more than anything. Knowing it was better to let him be, rather then ask, Harry turned to Hermione.
 
“So, how was your parents place for the last few weeks?” Harry asked, watching Ron stare at the cabin door, waiting impatiently as his foot kept taping repeatedly. Harry had no idea if he was waiting for Malfoy's annual visit or beat the hell out of Dean, Harry couldn't say for sure.
 
“Okay, Harry. Mom was surprised when I brought a picture of Inuyasha home.” Hermione said, then grinned. “Then she wanted to know if I had him autograph it yet.”
 
Harry's laughter was cut short as the door opened to reveal Malfoy and his goons standing there. The room's happy mood was instantly sucked away and Harry stood.
 
“Potter, fancy seeing you again. Earn enough money to continue your pitiful excuse for education?” Malfoy sneered. Crabbe and Goyle snickered.
 
“I heard about your Daddy buying his way out before Voldemort broke the Death Lickers out of jail. Was he afraid his half-blood Dark Lord was going to leave him behind?” Harry shot back. Malfoy scowled and moved to reach for his wand. Inuyasha saw the hand move and reacted. He lunged out of his seat for Malfoy, grabbing the startled blond by the throat and slamming him into the wall outside the compartment.
 
“Itchy hand, Malfoy?” Harry taunted while the hanyou bared his teeth, his ears laid flat as he growled. “I'd like you to meet my newest friend. His name is Inuyasha and he's a transfer student.”
 
Malfoy gasped for air as he weakly clawed at Inuyasha's hand. Goyle and Crabbe reached for their wands but Inuyasha flicked his hand, tossing Malfoy into his goons, sending the three to the ground. Malfoy clutched at his throat, coughing.
 
“I'll have you expelled before you even start, half-breed.” Malfoy gasped. Inuyasha growled again.
 
“Go ahead and do it, yaro, but remember, I have you scent now. I could track you halfway across the planet, completely blind. You do something again, and I'll personally introduce you to my claws.” Inuyasha snarled, and held up his right hand, flexing his hand so his claws extended in front of the Malfoy heir. Draco and his goons scrambled away in a panic. Ron grinned widely as Harry and Inuyasha both sat back down while Hermione just shook her head.
 
“It's going to be a great year at Hogwarts!” Ron exclaimed. Everyone snickered at that and eventually, the witch with the sweet cart stopped by. Harry treated everyone as usual and everyone watched in amusement as Inuyasha's chocolate frog leaped out, startling the hanyou. He quickly snatched it and shoved the whole thing into his mouth and smirked. Everyone burst out laughing as they saw his cheek push out and croak come his closed mouth. He frowned and swallowed hard, the whole chocolate frog going down. It gave one final, loud croak in his stomach and fell silent.
 
Soon, everyone except Inuyasha, changed into their robes as they pulled into the station. Heading out with the crowd, Harry heard Ron telling anyone who would listen what Inuyasha did to Malfoy. Harry spotted Hagrid calling first years to him and waved to the half-giant. He waved back.
 
“'Ello there, Harry! And who is this?” Hagrid asked, looking at Inuyasha. Inuyasha sniffed at the giant man before grunting something so low Harry couldn't hear what he said.
 
“He's a transfer student, Hagrid. His name is Inuyasha.” Harry replied. Hagrid nodded at Inuyasha.
 
“Well then you got to ride the boats, just like everyone else on their first trip to Hogwarts. This way.” He said, and then raised his voice, turning to the first years. “First years over here! This way!” Inuyasha shook his head and muttered, “Baka.” under his breath before following the half-giant to the boats.
 
+++++
 
“Turner, Jason.”
 
Hufflepuff!”
 
“I heard Inuyasha tipped his boat over trying to attack the squid as they crossed the over.” Ron whispered. Harry glanced at the hanyou and decided that might be true, considering he and three other first years were completely soaked from head to toe.
 
“Vandamere, Arthur!”
 
“Slytherin!”
 
“Which house do you think he's going to end up in?” Harry whispered back. Ron shrugged as the last first year was sorted. Inuyasha stood by himself, his arms crossed, sulking. Professor Dumbledore stood and everyone fell quiet.
 
“While not often, there does come a time when student enters our great school from another. I hope you shall welcome our friend, as unique as he may be, with open arms.”
 
“Inuyasha.” Professor McGonagall said and gestured to the chair. Rolling his eyes, the hanyou moved over to the chair and popped down. McGonagall placed the hat down, and Inuyasha gave a jolt when it spoke in his head.
 
`Hmmmmm…….interesting. Lots of courage, yes, a lot of courage, but there's loyalty there too. Yes, lots of that too. Intelligent yes, of my yes, though you hide that a great deal. Very cunning, yes I can see the cunning as well. You would do well in any house.' The sorting hat said, truly intrigued by this person it sat upon.
 
`Hurry it up, stupid hat. I want to eat something tonight.' Inuyasha replied, snappishly and “heard” it chuckle.
 
`Well then, it's going to be…………..”
 
 
 
Now for the reviews:
 
From ff.net:
 
Thank you to:
 
Rift120 (For your first question, they can't call anyone in Tokyo if their not sure when their calling. Obviously, Inuyasha doesn't care about what year it is in Kagome's time, so for all they know it could be 20 years in the future that she starts going in the well or ten years after she stopped. Better to let sleeping dogs lay, no? As for your second question, Harry summoned Inuyasha because it states in the spell itself, Inuyasha was Harry's soul in past life.)
