The foreign exchange student
Ch. 8 the patronus


Inuyasha and the rest of the gang all headed towards a spot where they heard that a shard was nearby.  Kagome was riding on Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku were on Kilala, Ashley was riding on the hippogriff with Shippo next to her, and Koga was running by himself after all of them.  “How much longer till we get there?” Shippo started to whine.  “I'm getting tired of sitting on here.”  Ashley laughed and said, “don't worry it shouldn't be much longer.”  Slowly it started to get really cold, the closer they got the colder it got.  `What is making it so cold.' Ashley thought. 

Everyone could see the village and they all landed inside of it, wondering the same thing.  “Why is it so cold?”  All of them stood there, they could all sense something coming.  Slowly something stirred from inside the building near them.  “What could that be?” a little voice said from Inuyasha's shoulder.  “Mioga how long have you been here?”  Kagome asked.  “It doesn't matter but I really don't like the feeling of things around here.” 

All at once they all were thrown to the ground because of the pain in their heads.  It was beyond painful and all they could see were memories, memories of something that had happened in the past.  But then just as soon as it started it stopped.  They all looked up and saw that Kagome had put up a barrier and was keeping something away from the rest of them.  “Those are dementors,” Mioga said.  “What are we going to do?  There is only one way to kill a dementor and that is with a pure patronus.  But only the most powerful witch or wizard can produce one.”  `Oh great now what do I do?' Ashley asked herself. 

Slowly the dementors were getting closer and closer, the barrier was staring to weaken.  Ashley had to make up her mind fast.  “I can take care of them no problem,” Inuyasha said while he stood up to take out the Tetsusaiga.  “No master Inuyasha don't do it.  Not only will it break the barrier we have around us, but the dementors will just absorb the energy and become even stronger.”  Inuyasha growled down at Mioga, “Then what are we supposed to do?”  Just as he finished asking the barrier faltered and broke.  Kagome was on the ground unconscious. 

Everyone stood up with their backs facing each other, “Why can't I see anything?” Sango asked. 

“What do you mean you can see anything?”  Miroku said.

“I mean exactly that, I can't see any dementor or whatever is there, and I would like to know why.”  Ashley hesitated a second before answering.  “It's because dementors are magical creatures.  Miroku can see them because he is a monk and has those powers, same with Kagome and her priestess powers.  The rest are demons so they have demon powers to show them the dementors.”  They all looked at her with question.

“How the hell do you know that?” Koga said while he was getting ready to attack them if they got any closer.  Ashley didn't answer though.  All at once the dementors took a deep breath, sucking the happiness out of the air.  Everyone fell down again holding their head.  Ashley was working on weather she should summon the patronus or not.  She could barely see because of how much her head hurt but she still could.  All of her friends were on the ground rolling with pain.  She couldn't take it any more, she had to do something. 

She could see a dementor coming up next to Inuyasha.  The dementor bent down and picked him up by his shirt and held him up still sucking on the sir.  Sango was screaming for Inuyasha but he seemed to be unconscious as well as Kagome.  `This is it, if I don't then Inuyasha will die,' Ashley thought to herself.  She reached in her bag and pulled out her wand.  She pointed it straight at Inuyasha and the dementor before shouting, “Expecto patronum!”  The tip of her wand erupted with a bright light as a pure white wolf came out of the end. The wolf ran straight for Inuyasha and the dementor that was holding him. The dementor instantly dropped Inuyasha and ran away. The wolf patronus started to circle the others while driving off the other dementors.

 

As soon as the dementors were all gone Ashley collapsed onto the ground. Everyone looked between the patronus and Ashley for a few seconds before it flickered and disappeared. Ashley was sitting on the ground trying to catch her breath, no matter how much she did a patronus it still took a lot of her energy out of her. “I knew there was something strange about your sent,” Koga said as he went over next to Ashley. “You're a witch aren't you? There is no other was for you to have driven off those things just now.” Ashley looked at him and then to the other people around him and nodded.

 

“I have been training at school for years now, I go to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry,” she told them.

 

“Why didn't you just tell us that to begin with?” Kagome asked, having woke up while Ashley was driving away the dementors.

 

“I was well…. Scared I suppose. Every other time someone found out they would not talk to me any more, that's why I moved so much while I was younger. Sometimes I couldn't control my powers and I would blow up a window or something.”

 

They all looked at her and Mioga said, “But what does the wolf have to do with you?” Everyone else looked at him strangely so he explained what he was talking about. “When a witch or wizard can actually produce a patronus it takes the form of something that has significance in that persons life. I was merely trying to figure out how wolves are significant to Ashley.”

 

Ashley looked at them and said, “I don't really know that. I knew they were significant some how but I haven't figured out how yet. All I can think of is that I am an animagus and that's my other form.”

 

“Animagus?” Sango asked.

 

“It's when a witch or wizard can transform into an animal,” Miroku said. Ashley nodded to show that he was right.

 

“That's in possible, no one can transform into an animal unless they are a demon and transforming into their true form,” Koga said.

 

“Yes they can and I can prove it,” Ashley said. She stood up and closed her eyes for a second before she transformed into a wolf. She stayed in that form for only a minute before changing back. “See I told you. I can stay in that form as long as I want as log as I'm not force fed the potion to reverse transformations.” Ashley sat back down, feeling very weak from having used so much power so fast. Koga came up behind her and sat behind her giving her back support. Everyone looked at him because they didn't know why he would do something like that.

 

“What are you looking at me like that for? She DID just save all of our lives,” he said. Ashley smiled at him and fell asleep leaning on him for support. `Maybe she isn't as useless as I thought,' he thought to himself as he watched her sleep.

Ok all done with that chapter. Hope you all liked it. I will admit I have a little thing for Koga and well maybe just maybe that thing transferred to my character… what would you think about that? Now go and review and tell me what you think.
