Witch and Wizard
"Ah, welcome back to civilization!" cried a young raven-haired witch happily, taking in a deep breath of the cool, crisp air. "Oh, how I have missed the scent of a warm cup of creamy coffee." she whispered in a delighted tone. Pulling a few spare dollars from her right coat pocket, she set foot into the small coffee shop. She felt her head swim for a split second as the strong scent of coffee overwhelmed her rational thoughts. The blue-eyed witch scanned through the menu, licking her parched lips in anticipation for the brown colored drink. It seemed like hours before she made up her mind and ordered, "I'll have a Grande Latte, please."
"Okay, your name please?" the man taking her order asked, while at the same time, checking out the young witch's profile. His eyes gleamed over her body and curves like a starving predator about to pounce on a harmless prey. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as the young witch checked out some of their desserts and snacks. "What is your name?" he asked again, when the girl showed no sign of answering his question the first time around.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry for my lack of attention! My name is Kagome. I tend to be a little out of it at times." the young witch replied with a bright, cheerful smile. Upon closer examination, the man noticed a light pink tainting her pale cheeks in response to her embarrassment. The man allowed a small smile to grace his features as Kagome continued to ramble on about her one-track mind.
The man's attention was diverted to Kagome's overly large, green, cloth bag when it twitched. Kagome caught the man's lingering gaze on her bag and the edge of her lips tugged downwards. The man quickly averted his gaze when he noticed the displeased frown marring Kagome's pretty features. Kagome allowed a soft sigh of relief to escape her dry lips when the man quickly moved on to make her drink. "That was a close one." Kagome thought dangerously, placing a protective hand over her large bag.
"Here you go, miss." the man gently handed Kagome her searing hot drink. Kagome quickly dropped her drink on the counter as she attempted to cool her scorched hand. "Watch out, it's hot."
"Gee, thanks for the warning." Kagome thought to herself. "I thought a warning comes before the action. Yea, the warning does me a whole lot of good after I scorch my skin off." Kagome thought sarcastically to herself. "I'm going to get a blister." Kagome thought dejectedly to herself. Kagome grabbed some of the napkins nearby and wrapped it around her extremely warm drink.
"Come back again, miss." the man called, plastering what could be passed as a seductive smile on his face.
"I'll pass." Kagome thought silently to herself after giving the man a slight nod. "That man gives me the creeps." Kagome gently pushed her way through the swarm of people to reach the door. Kagome gave the door a slight push and quickly stepped out into the cool air. "Whew, it's stuffy in there!" Kagome murmured softly to herself, enjoying the cool breeze that had picked up. "Was it really worth all that trouble for this drink?" Kagome asked herself, before inhaling the heavenly sweet scent of her drink. Kagome numbly took a sip, enjoying the flavor in her mouth. "It tastes heavenly…or maybe it tastes that way because I haven't had coffee since forever."
Kagome diverted her attention to her oversized bag as it rustled on its own accord. "Whoa, hold your horses. We're going to head to the Leaky Cauldron, okay?" she asked her green bag. It settled down and Kagome allowed a soft sigh to escape her pink lips. Kagome walked down streets after streets, glancing around her surroundings, hoping to find something familiar that will catch her attention. "Now where is that place? I know it's around here somewhere! That is, unless I'm not in London." Kagome huffed in annoyance, taking another sip from her coffee. Kagome's face lit up like a candle when she spotted a teenage punk who had his hair gelled in place.
"Hey kid, tell me where the Leaky Cauldron is." said punk demanded a scrawny-looking teenage boy he held painfully by the wrist. Kagome promptly walked over to the punk who was harassing the poor soul. Kagome took it upon herself to punish the punk for such a ruthless act by smacking him upside the head. The punk yowled in pain before spinning around to face Kagome, releasing the boy in the process, to tell her to mind her own business. The punk clamped his jaw shut in mid-sentence as his brown eyes bore into Kagome's blue ones. "Hey…Kagome."
"Don't 'hey' me." Kagome growled, "Hay is for horses. Anyway, what were you thinking when you were harassing him?" Kagome asked, jabbing her finger in the direction of the scrawny-looking boy. Kagome's eyes locked on the boy's wrist before glaring at the punk. "That wrist is going to have a big, purple bruise tomorrow." Kagome thought to herself.
"I was asking for directions, idiot." the punk replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yusuke, you don't go around threatening people for directions! Also, did you forget, not many know about that place. So I must say if I'm an idiot, you must be brainless." Kagome admonished her friend, who just turned his head away. Kagome rolled her eyes when Yusuke turned up his nose, hoping to save his pride.
"Um, actually, I do know where it is." the boy spoke up from the blue, surprising Kagome.
"Woops, forgot he was still there." Kagome thought to herself, mentally berating herself for her lack of attention.
"I'm Harry. Nice to meet you and I guess you two are a witch and a wizard?" the boy, now known as Harry, gingerly asked.
"Not really," Kagome replied sheepishly, changing her coffee from her left hand to her right, showing her discomfort about the topic. Kagome quickly answered when Harry seemed to go into shock for asking a wrong question. "I'm a witch, yea. Though I don't know what you would call Yusuke - maybe a punk? Hold on a sec Harry, you look familiar." Kagome murmured, closing the distance between her and Harry. Harry stumbled back slightly at the sudden loss of personal space.
"Um, I don't think I've seen you before, miss." Harry replied politely, taking a small step back.
"Sorry, you just looked like someone I use to know. But that was foolish of me, the age difference alone should have told me otherwise. By the way, my name is Kagome and that's Yusuke….he acts like a punk (he is a punk), but he isn't too bad when you get to know him." Kagome smiled fondly at Yusuke.
"Come on, let's go inside." Harry motioned to the building concealed in the shadows behind them. "That is the Leaky Cauldron!"
"Now I know what it must feel like to be Yusuke." Kagome sighed to herself, allowing a smirk to tug at the corners of her lips, knowing the outburst that will quickly follow her comment. "Any time now…"
"Hey, what is that supposed to mean?!?" Yusuke demanded in indignation. "At least I knew who to ask for directions, bright one!"
"What did I tell you? He burst!" Kagome thought to herself. "Am I getting good at this or am I getting good at this?"
"Oh really? I mean, the store was here the whole time and you were standing right in front of it! It takes a true idiot to have done that. So, Yusuke, I feel as if I had bonded with you over this experience." Kagome nodded her head in agreement with herself, much to the irritation of Yusuke.
"HEY! I'M NOT THAT STUPID!" Yusuke yelled, causing every single eyeball within the Leaky Cauldron to turn towards their direction.
"Look what you did, idiot!" Kagome hissed, pushing Harry and Yusuke towards a table in the corner. "You just had to go and let your trap fly! I wonder if they have a class for being loud and stupid, you'd probably get straight A's there!" Kagome's seething decreased as the occupants returned to their chattering about the returning of a dark wizard.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking, what are you two doing here? Well, what is he doing here if he's not a wizard?" Harry asked in curiosity.
"Uh…." Yusuke started.
"Yusuke is a wizard...sort of….he lost his memory on one fateful accident and has forgotten all the ways of a true wizard. Anyway, we use to attend Durmstrang. We're transfer students." Kagome finished, elbowing Yusuke harshly in the gut. Yusuke glared at Kagome and decided to remain silent for the next few minutes. "We're going to be sixth years at Hogwarts."
"Hey, you're going to go to the same school as me!" Harry stated with a smile that did not reach his sad eyes. Kagome grimaced slightly at Harry's revelation of being in the same school, but this went unnoticed by Harry.
"This is going to be a handful." Kagome thought silently to herself. "Heh, don't be surprised if our magic sucks. We aren't very…coordinated." Kagome laughed nervously as Yusuke smirked at Kagome's obvious distress. Yusuke's smirk was quickly wiped off his face when Kagome turned a murderous glare in his direction. "Yusuke, laugh, and you're going to be in a cast for the rest of your life." Kagome thought, though she knew Yusuke couldn't hear silent threat.
"Hey Harry!" a red-head called over the loud racket of the Leaky Cauldron, quickly jogging over to Harry's side with a bushy-haired girl in tow. "Who are they?" the red head asked curiously, jabbing a thumb in Kagome and Yusuke's direction.
"Hi Ron," Harry greeted with a half smile, "this is Kagome and Yusuke. Kagome, Yusuke meet Ron and Hermione, my two best friends."
"Hi." Kagome smiled kindly while Yusuke just grunted his acknowledgement. "I wonder what put him in that sour mood." Kagome thought idly to herself. "I'm the one stuck babysitting him." Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts when Ron jumped back in fright when her oversized, large bag wiggled. Hermione pulled out her wand as Harry quickly stood up. Kagome held up her hands in peace before opening the bag to reveal a cute silver fox. "Guys, this is my pet….Kawaii!"
"K-Kawaii?!?!" Yusuke laughed, choking on a drink he had just recently ordered.
"Beat it, Yusuke!" Kagome growled, stomping on her friend's foot. Kagome took into account the drink Yusuke had in his hand and quickly wrenched it from his grasps. "Alcohol substance?" Kagome asked in astonishment, glaring at Yusuke. "Yusuke's going to need more babysitting then I thought."
Kawaii, the beautiful silver fox, looked around the Leaky Cauldron with disinterest before moving on to clean his pristine white fur. "I thought you two were friends, so why does the name of your fox seem to surprise Yusuke so much?" Hermione asked, gazing at Kagome's pet in fascination.
"Oh, my last fox died, this is a new one." Kagome answered without missing a beat. "Maybe bringing Yusuke along wasn't such a good idea."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Hermione whispered.
Kagome waved off the apology and stated, "Though, I must say, my last fox was much more fun." Kawaii glared at Kagome before leaping off the table and walking out the door with his black snout held high in the air. "See what I mean? He has such an attitude problem. Did I mention vain too?"
"Yea, like Hermione's cat!" Ron added, causing Hermione to glower at him. "Does he eat rats?"
"I don't know." Kagome replied, shrugging her shoulders, causing Ron to go pale.
"Yea, but he definitely eats…" Yusuke started.
"Akhem." Kagome coughed. "Meat," Kagome finished.
"What does Kawaii mean?" Hermione asked in unconcealed interest.
"It's Japanese for cute." Kagome replied, "You've got to give him that. He is cute." Yusuke snorted at Kagome's comment, making Kagome smirk. "And you're cute too, Yusuke." Kagome crooned. "It's just a fact that Kawaii is cuter." Hermione giggled along with Kagome as Yusuke glared murderously at Kagome.
"Are you two dating?" Hermione asked.
"No, you can have him." Kagome replied.
Hermione face turned a crimson red and quickly replied, "That's not what I meant. You two just seemed like a couple with your little fights and snide remarks." Yusuke sputtered in shock, pointing a finger at Kagome as if saying 'Me and her? Never!'
"Who wants her as a girlfriend?" Yusuke asked, taking this chance to grab his alcoholic drink back from Kagome's grasps. Kagome snatched the drink back before a single drop could slide down Yusuke's throat. Kagome chucked the bottle of alcohol back towards the bartender, who narrowly missed being hit in the process.
"Since you two are transfer students, you need your books and supplies, right?" Harry asked in an attempt to break the tension between his two new friends, Yusuke and Kagome.
"You two are transfer students? That's so cool!" Hermione cheered as Yusuke snorted. "You have to tell me everything you learn at your old school!"
"What's so great about school?" Yusuke yawned widely, revealing the inner part of his mouth. Kagome took this as her cue to stuff her paper napkin into Yusuke's open mouth. Yusuke choked on the napkin, much to the pleasure of Kagome, who grinned happily. "Damn you…"
"No foul language, please." Kagome wagged a finger in front of Yusuke's face, knowing it would irritate him. "Anyway, let's go get those supplies. Yusuke, the list please."
"What list?" Yusuke asked sleepily.
"The list of supplies!" Kagome sighed in exasperation.
"I thought you had it." Yusuke muttered.
"No, I gave it to you!" Kagome argued.
"You must have been dreaming when you did that." snorted Yusuke.
"Baka, just admit you lost the list!" Kagome growled.
"I won't because I didn't!" Yusuke replied in irritation.
"It's okay guys." Harry interrupted. "I have my list and we will basically need the same things, since we're going to be in the same year." Kagome nodded her head and picked up her much lighter bag.
"Okay, lead the way to Dragon Alley!" Kagome chirped happily.
"That's Diagon Alley." Hermione promptly corrected.
"Oh yes, that's right. I knew it started with a D…." Kagome muttered to herself. Yusuke took this chance to snicker at Kagome's expense. Yusuke soon found himself sporting a large bump the size of Kagome's fist as Harry led them to a brick wall. Harry tapped the bricks with practiced hands as the bricks began to move aside to form an arch to a whole new world. Yusuke dropped his jaw in awe as Kagome quickly reminded him he's going to catch a fly like that.
"Where's your pet?" Ron suddenly asked, looking around nervously.
"Oh it's nothing. He tends to go missing a lot. But he always comes back when he wants to." Kagome replied nonchalantly before walking through the arch and into the magic world.
