Chapter: 3
=================================================
Kurama was sitting in the winter green recliner reading History of Magic, while Yusuke was playing with his kitten, which had turned from little holy terror to cute and cuddly, and Hiei was sitting in the open window waiting for his dragon to return from hunting.
All in all everyone was just relaxing from the long day they'd had when Kurama's raven swooped down over Yusuke's cat causing Akuma to jump in surprise then go after the raven in a rage at being surprise, but Kurama's raven was too fast for her. The raven snatched Yusuke's illusion-ring, he had lain on his dresser, and then it proceeded to fly back to its cage, where it dropped Yusuke's ring.
“Kurama get your bird under control!” Yusuke snapped as he tried to get the ring back, but the bird just pecked at his hand.
“Kaitou give Yusuke back his ring, now,” Kurama said not even taking his eyes off his book. The bird doing as said dropped the ring into Yusuke's hand.
“When'd you train him?” asked Yusuke.
“Didn't,” was all Kurama answered back. Seeing he wasn't going to get much out of the preoccupied kitsune Yusuke walked over to the body size mirror in the corner. Looking over himself in his new robes he decided he didn't look to bad. He had decided on a normal black cotton robe, green under shirt, and loose black pants.
“You have a strand of hair sticking up and you really should iron that robe, so many wrinkles,” said his own reflection causing Yusuke jump back and stare in disbelief.
“It - can - did - KURAMA!” Yusuke yelled.
“What?” asked the irritated redhead.
“You're sane, right?” asked Yusuke.
Kurama raised an eyebrow at this, “Last time I checked, why?”
“My reflection just talked to me,” was all Yusuke said staring at the mirror, which now just reflected a normal image of him.
“It's not talking now,” Kurama said with a frown.
“You think I'm making it up,” Yusuke said accusingly.
“No, I don't doubt it talked, we are in a magical world after all,” Kurama replied back a little sarcastically reminding Yusuke a little to much of Yoko.
“I hate this mission,” Yusuke said falling into Japanese as he added a few more adjectives.
Hiei let out a startled sound surprising everyone as he hit the floor right before Botan flew in on her oar. In a flash Hiei jumped up, hand on sword.
“Onna, you better be glade I saw you or you'd be dead by now,” Hiei growled.
“Hehe, sorry about that Hiei, didn't see you,” Botan said taking a few steps back, away from the angrey Hiei.
“What are you doing here, Miss I-gotta-run?” glared Yusuke.
“You guys don't seem that happy to see me, especially when I have something important to tell you, and I can't baby-sit you all day,” Botan teased.
Yusuke glared at Botan for the comment, but Kurama spoke up first, “And what important thing do you have to tell us?”
“Well, Koenma said that you three are suppose to meet Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the school you three are going to, and he says to be on your best behavior,” Botan said looking pointedly at both Yusuke and Hiei. “Koenma says he will explain things and answer any of your questions, and also he will be the `only' person to know you are demons, not even the teachers will know.”
“So when do we meet this Albus Dumbelldore?” asked Yusuke having a little trouble with Dumbledore.
“Right now,” she said with a smile, and with a loud pop an old man in flowing blue robes appeared out of nowhere.
“Eight o'clock sharp,” Botan smiled before waving good-bye and leaving on her oar.
Yusuke frowning at the fact that Botan had left once again, but turned his attention to the wizard in front of him. Yusuke along with the other two could feel the power the man held and knew he would be a formidable opponent if they were ever forced to fight.
“Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore,” Dumbledore said extending his hand to Yusuke. Yusuke took the offered hand slightly stunned at the long name and answered with, “Yusuke Urameshi.”
“Shuichi Minamino better known as Kurama and this is Hiei,” Kurama said introducing for both him and Hiei when Dumbledore turned to him shaking his hand as well.
“Good to meet you three, I've heard, for the most part, good things about you from Koenma,” Dumbledore said looking from Yusuke to Hiei and back.
Kurama frowned, but said, “So what exactly are we suppose to be doing?”
“Well, Koenma is worried that some demons have been teaming up with an evil wizard by the name of Voldemort, and if so we could use your help to protect the castle and it's students,” Dumbledore said.
“Why are you so sure he'll attack the school?” asked Kurama.
“We're not, but Harry Potter is there and if anything Voldemort want's him dead, but then again we're not to sure what he is planning to do. We do have inside spies, but it's not easy figuring out what his next move is, so far he's just gathering forces and staying hidden.”
“So, really you want us to protect this Harry Potter guy? Why him?” asked Yusuke.
“Harry is the only person ever to survive the Avada Kedavra, the killing curse, which was given to him by Voldemort. Some how the spell turned on Voldemort and caused his down fall,” Dumbledore explained.
“So all we have to do is protect this boy and the rest of the castle?” Yusuke asked.
“Yes, that's about it,” Dumbledore answered.
“Okay question, can your own reflection talk to you in a mirror?” asked Yusuke.
“Yusuke I hardly think --,” started Kurama.
“Yes, and so can paintings and pieces of furniture,” Dumbledore confirmed.
“What do these wizards and witches think of demons?” asked Hiei.
“Hmm, well some think you're fairytales, while others believe you are extinct, and a very few number think you still exist, but are in hiding. If someone does find out what you are they most likely would be frightened. It would not be a good thing for someone to find out; for a number of reasons you can probably guess,” Dumbledore left off in a grim tone.
“What if we need to contact someone, how will we?” asked Kurama.
“You can go to almost any of the teachers and ask to see me.”
“Oh, and one more thing, is there really such thing as `platform 9
