Yea I know, I warned you all I update ridiculously slow didn't I?
Anyways, Chapter 6...that I did at night when I should be doing my hw...lol?
Oh yea...and a bit more info, I'm seriously making this up as I go along...like there's is just the basic plot outline, but all the details are being made up...which is weird…cause I normally like to plan everything ahead, and then think of how to write it and what happens. As of now, I still have no idea how this is going to end, or how long this will be—I guess it'll be as long as it turns out…anyway, this is just a weird mini-sidefic from Draco's POV cause I for some reason felt like…..O.o
And I also want to say thank you to everyone who reviewed reviews make me happy hehe
Oh. Yea. I don't think I ever mentioned, but this takes palce in th year. This was started before the book came out.
Ch6: Intermission: An Entry from Draco Malfoys' Journal
September 15, 19981
A new school term has started, and I have of course returned to this ridiculous school. Really, I do not get fathers' insistence that I attend Hogwarts, even though he hates Dumbledore. Wouldn't it make more sense to attend another school that father actually likes and of which the Defense Against the Dark Arts position is not cursed so that I can actually learn something?
I am getting rather sick of all the D.A.D.A. teachers I've had. The first one was a quivering fool who was possessed by the Dark Lord. The second was a bubbling liar. The third one was that stupid werewolf. The fourth one, a Death Eater in disguise, and personally, I'm surprised no one suspected. Last year, we had Umbridge that fool. She thought she was soo great, but I had her wrapped around my finger. It's so easy to trick those Ministry people; just stroke their ego, and they listen to all your words like their gold. How simple. Potter, doesn't even seem to understand this fact, and he's suppose to "save the world"?
This year, we have to two foreign teachers from Japan of all places. That old coot (Dumbledore) keeps hiring the most random, ridiculous people to teach D.A.D.A. It's plain silly. The main professor, Jin Kaze or something has a weird Irish accent, and is so insanely hyper it's grating. The other assistant teacher, Touya Koori, is much better, but he's quiet. They also teach the strangest things, like demons…I cannot believe that the class does not know about demons. Especially if they are pure-blood wizards. Everyone should know about demons—they're a wizards worse enemy in ancient times.
If I believed in this whole nonsense, I would be completely afraid of leaving my future up to him, Merlin knows what everyone else sees in him. That besides,
I don't think any of them actually realize that vampires, giants, goblins, and other creatures classify as demons. If they actually listened in History of Magic, they should know. it came as a surprise that Granger didn't know seeing as she's about the only one in Gryffindor who listens in History of Magic. The completely boring ghost teacher asides, History of Magic is rather interesting. But I'm getting away from the topic I wanted to talk about today…that being the new exchange students.
There is clearly more to them then what we were told, and I cannot believe that no-one else suspects anything. It's like, Hogwarts has not had any exchange students since 1763, and now all of a sudden there are four? And foreign student to add. If that is not suspicious, I wonder what could be. Yes, I can practically see the sarcasm dripping from my mouth. Not to mention that just oh so conviently, father says that the Dark Lord has a new plan that has been put into action. I'm starting to dread his plans—they always end up as failures. Of course, if I ever said this, I'd be dead, but seeing as war seems like it's going to erupt soon, I don't really care all that much.
The first student, Akira is a complete imbecile! He's loud, messy, and one of the most annoying people I've ever met.
The second student is Yuki. He's ok, but tends to talk in foreign terms a lot. Truthfully, he's also the coldest of the three transfers, and doesn't want to be bothered or to bother anyone else, so I don't really care about him. The thing is, he emits these very dangerous vibes and carries a sword, which terrifies everyone around him.
The last student is named Kuro. He's the smartest and nicest of all three of them—that much is blatantly obvious. Besides that, he's ridiculously girly looking with long hair! Of course, my school years at Hogwarts can never be normal for once.
The next day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were still suspicious of the new students, but pretended to be normal towards them as to not arouse suspicion.
"Hi Kuro." Harry said as he walked in for breakfast. "Where's Akira and Yuki?"
Kuro smiled back. "Akira is still sleeping; we didn't feel like waking him up, and Yuki didn't feel like eating breakfast today so he went to exercise."
Hermione, Ron, and Harry blinked in confusion. "Exercise? What do you mean exercise?" they asked confused.
"Oh. In Japan, we took kendo lessons, and he has to practice daily in order to not let his skills get rusty. Ah…kendo is kind of like fencing to Europeans."
"Oh…."
Then Ron said, "Is that why he carries that sword around all the time?"
"Well, you could consider it that." He replied unhelpfully.
Then, the bell rang, and they headed to their first class of the day, which was Charms today. When they went in, Yuki was already in there, and Kuro walked over and said something quietly in Japanese to him. The golden trio frowned suspiciously. Professor Flitwick stood to take attendance, and Kuro cheerfully said, "Akira will be coming late today Professor."
"Hm? Ok, thank you then."
True to his words, Kuro did not show up until there was like 10 minutes left of the class. He wasn't rushing either, just strolled in with his books scowling and mumbling under his breath.
"Ah! Mr. Kinomiya. So nice of you to decide to join us today. Could you explain exactly why are you so late?" Flitwick looked at him disapprovingly.
"Uh…overslept? Uh…Jet lag…time difference…that kinda stuff? And I'm not like them who for some reason aren't affected by the time difference." Akira sulked.
"I see….Very well then. I shall let you off today, simply because it is only the second day of school, but I shall expect you to be on time for the rest of my classes."
"Yea, yea…I know." Akira waved him off tiredly.
After that, the next class they had was Care of Magical Creatures, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione was half excited to see Hagrid again, but with hesitant fear of what he was going to teach the class this year.
"'arry! Ron! 'ermine!" Hagrid exclaimed happily.
"Hi Hagrid." They chorused.
"Ok class! I have a wonderful new creature here today that is very, very rare, and is only found in some places deep in the forest or mountains of Japan! Now, I chose this animal for today, because we have three new transfer students from Japan!" Hagrid exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone turned to look at each other and the new students, breaking out into hushed whispers.
"Don't worry though; these animals won't harm you at all! Well, if you do nothing to provoke them that is. And here they are now."
Hagrid whipped of a blanket that was on top of a cage to reveal a 3-tailed cat with red eyes and several black stripe markings around its' tail.
Everyone broke out into excited whispers again.
"That cat has three tails!"
"LOOK AT IT"S EYES!"
"It's so cute!"
Akira, Yuki, and Kuro blinked.
"A nekotama? 2 Where the hell in the Nigenkai did he find that?" Yuki muttered bewildered.
Hermione raised her hand. "Professor, what exactly is that?"
"Very good question!" Hagrid exclaimed. "This, is a Nekotama! It's a species of multi-tailed cats found only in Japan. Most of the species died out a while ago, during the 1500's, but a few survived by living deep in forests and mountains. Does anyone know anything about them?"
Hermione raised her hand immediately.
"Yes?" he said, pointing at her.
"Um…I read that they're supposed to protect people against evil monsters." She said.
"Correct! 50 points to Gryffindor!" Hagrid boomed.
Everyone took turns petting it and feeding it through the cage, as Hagrid rambled on about the cat until the end of the period.
"Well," Ron remarked, "At least this wasn't some dangerous carnivorous beast or something."
A/N: This page is also kinda sort, but it's longer then the others. I didn't feel like typing more though, otherwise I would have finished the whole day. shrugs oh well
1 As for Malfoy, I don't want to make him a jerk like some people do, because I don't think of him like that (even though that's how he turned out in the book). The date, was random.
2 A nekotama I took from Inuyasha, you know, Kirara, Sango's cat. Except this one has one more tail.
