One beautiful afternoon on the month of March, three best friends accompanied each other going home. It was also their last day of school,
that is why they are spending more time together. One reason that they have
to was that Umi's Parents were taking her abroad the whole summer.
"Too bad. I wish we have more time together." Hikaru smiled and hugged Umi and Fuu altogether.
"Yeah, I wont be seing my little Hikaru for two months." Umi patted Hikaru's head mildly.
"But look at the bright side." Fuu brought up her index finger as she spoke to the other two."Modern technology has been good to us. We can use
an electronic mail or use a phone to keep in touch." she smiled.
"That did remind me of something." Hikaru said as she stopped.
"What?!?"Umi and Fuu said in unison.
"I'm going back to my province to enhance my kendo." she giggled at her embarassment."So I'll leave you just a telephone number if you need me."
she brought out a pen to write it on their oganizers.
"I've got an idea!" Umi brought down her clenched fist to her other palm. "Why don't we have a slumber party at my house. And its still March.
I've got two more guest rooms where you can stay so that we won't miss each
other so much."
"Great! I bet my elder brothers wouldn't mind, then we can get to know each other. All we've been doing was talk every dismissal when we're
going home."
"Yeah. that would be wonderful. When can we have it?" Fuu asked.
"Nothing's impossible for me." Umi struck a confident pose. "We'll do it tonight." She smirked. "Come later at my house about..." she thought
for a moment. "...7:30.That way we could eat supper a bit late."
"Fine!" they all nodded together.
Soon Umi was at her home helping her mother prepare dinner. For dessert, Umi made a delicious pineapple upside-down cake. The alarm rang in
the oven and was brought out just in time to cool off before the doorbell
rang twice. Umi removed her apron and ran over to the door. There stood Fuu
and Hikaru, who brought along their bags for extra clothing. Both of them
bowed courteously at Mr. and Mrs Ryuuzaki, geeting them 'kobanwa' and
thanking them for the permitted sleep over. Mrs. Ryuuzaki was so pleased at
their actions that she hospitably welcomed them. "We're greatly honored to
meet you two. We don't often have visitors here besides from my husband's
clients and partners."
"Mom, Daddy, I'll be leading them to their rooms now. Please wait for us at the dinner table in fifteen minutes." Umi told her parents. Both of
them nodded as Umi brought her friends upstairs beside her bedroom. Two
portable beds have been already placed for them to sleep in.
"It's a very nice place here." Fuu complimented Umi. " Its very peaceful."
"Yeah Fuu. I've been lonely before you two came into my life. Mom and
Daddy are the people that brightened this place with love and care."
There came a small rumble. Umi and Fuu looked at Hikaru. Hikaru held her belly. " Sorry,my brothers and I are used to eating early. Now, my
stomach's hungry."
"Then let's go have dinner." Umi called onto them as they walked away from Umi's room.
When they entered the dinner table, Hikaru and Fuu were both
surprised at the feast they saw on top of it.Delicacies they've never knew.
Dishes were traced with gold and pearly white coating. As they sat down, the
two held themselves up, looking still at the glamorous sight.Umi and her
parents had already started to eat. Umi saw the embarassed look on their
faces and said "Everything's fine. You can taste everything." They looked at
her and took hold of their chopsticks and took one one of everything,which
filled their whole plates.
"MMmmm. . . They taste good. I've never tasted anything like this
before." Hikaru chewed on.
"I'm glad you liked it." Mrs. Ryuuzaki said. "It's my specialty."
"Then I must compliment you good cooking." Fuu raised her juice and
slowly drank it.
"Thank You. But you still have to wait till dessert." she winked at
her daughter, who eventually blushed.
"Mom, I think we're getting a little carried away here, but thanks."
she tried to divert the subject.
Dessert came and eventually all of them became full of food. They
sat there for some time to have a little get to know each other as well as
rest. "Thank you again for the wonderful dinner Mr. and Mrs Ryuuzaki and also
to Umi for her dessert." Fuu thanked once more.
"Me too." Hikaru piped in. " I think I will get used to this much
hospitality." she giggled.
"Any friend of my daughter is always welcome anytime." Mr Ryuuzaki
took a sip of his evening tea. "Love, I think it is time for them to take
more rest."
"Yes, your right. You can go now to your rooms or sleep in Umi's
room." she led them to the stairs.
=Umi's Room=
Fuu and Hikaru preferred to sleep beside their best friend. They
lied down on their beds and looked at the ceiling.
"I wonder what would have happened if we did not become Magic
Knights?" Hikaru asked breaking the silence.
"We would probably have been friends since." Fuu removed her glasses,
put it in a case, and massaged her temples.
"Or we would have never changed our skills, beliefs and possibly our
life. I would still be a bit bratty by now."
"Don't ever call yourself again bratty.You were just surprised at the
situation that's why you acted that way." The red-haired girl told her.
"Guess we're destined for that. It's already over.Cephiro is already
a peaceful world." Fuu looked at the other two.
"Yeah. Love is really strong. It even reached here." Hikaru looked
back at the ceiling, remniscing her memories with Lantis. She held the amulet
he gave her.
All were about to doze off into their dreamland with peaceful
surroundings when a loud ruffling noise was heard from Umi's large glass
window.
"What was that?!?!" Fuu sat up.
"Y-you don't think your house is haunted, do you" Hikaru peeked from
under her bed.Umi was doing the same thing. "Wait a minute!" She rubbed her
eyes and looked more closely through the darkness. "It's a fat square bird."
She ran to open the window. "Maybe it feels cold."
"Hoot!" The bird went as it swooped around the three, leaving them
each a letter and perched on Umi's worktable.
"What's this, some joke?" Umi opened her letter, thinking that the
one who sent this was some kind of practical joke.
"Hogwarts School of Wichcraft and Wizardry." Fuu read. "Dear Ms.
Hououji, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed an explanation and
a list of all necessary books and equiptment. Your term begins on September
1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.Yours sincerely, Minerva
McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress." she finished and looked at the other two.
"Same here." Hikaru waved her letter for Fuu to see.
"I thought so!!Some whacko's kidding us" Umi threw the envelope with
the letter.
The owl flew again. It caught the envelope in midair and placed it
nearby Umi. Hikaru was amazed by the feat it made."Wow! Come here please" she
stretched out her arm. It did perch on her arm."Its smart!"she petted it.
"It's an owl." Fuu said."I think it knows exactly what it is doing."
"I also think that we should read the explanation."
"I'll do it then." Umi unwrapped the envelope again and read the
explanation. "Dear Ms. Ryuuzaki, We, the School of Witchcraft of Wizardry
have been informed by the Ministry of Magic that you, along with Ms. Shidou
and Ms. Hououji have been confirmed true witches.Still they are unsure
that you have true witch blood, that is why you have to be under our
observation as well as learn about magic in our school.Go to Bitain a week
before September 1 at the nearby Airport in London. Mr. Weasely, Head of
Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office will freely lead you to The Leaky Cauldron
where you will stay for the week and also lead you to King's Cross station
leading to Hogwarts. Yours, Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore."
"That sounds serious. Do you think there is a school named Hogwarts?"
she looked at the owl.It hooted. "Do you think we could also send a letter to
them using you?" Another hoot."Then I'll do the writing." She took a piece of paper and stated."To Minerva McGonagall, The three of us are not convinced
that we are witches. However, mail using a bird is out of the ordinary.
Please verify if this is real. We have mistaken it at first as a prank.
Yours, Fuu Hououji, Umi Ryuuzaki and Hikaru Shidou." she finished. " Sign
your signature so that its a bit serious."
After signing, Hikaru gave the letter to the owl and said to it
"Send this to Minerva McGonagall." as she lead it to the window for it to
fly away.
"What do we do now?" Umi asked.
"Wait." Fuu said.
Hikaru looked at Umi's expression, then at Fuu's. "Come on, let us
have sleep."
"Fine then. That was what we were about to do when that bird
interrupted us." Umi laid back and turned off the light.
=Next Day=
"Thank you again for the hospitality that you have shown us." Fuu and
Hikaru said as they bowed at Mr.Ryuuzaki, who was ready for work and Mrs.
Ryuuzaki.
"Hikaru! Let's go! We have to go pack before the end of the day, so
let's go!" her elder brother waved at her.
"Coming Masaru!" Hikaru jumped back to face Umi. "Thanks a lot!"
"That was nothing. See you after the summer!" Umi shook her hand
goodbye.
"Thank you too. It was a great experience to sleep with my best
friends." Fuu shook Umi's hand.
"Yes, this was quite different from what I usually do at home.
Goodbye Fuu!"
"I'm also leaving Love, bye buttercup!" He kissed his wife and
daughter at the cheeks.
"Bye Daddy!"
=Sunset, Hikaru's House(same day) =
" I'm all packed!" she hollered at Kakeru who was watching her
intently on how she excitedly stuffed all of her necessities and her
kendo accesories in two separate bags.
"Very well. You may take a rest. The travel will take about a day,so
go to sleep early after dinner." Kakeru patted her head.
"O.K. I'll go take a rest at the garden." She started jogging towards
the garden.
"And don't try to play too much with Hikari, you might get tired
even before you get there." Kakeru's eyes followed his only sister.
"Sure!" Hikaru smiled as she went past her brother.
Hikaru sat at the ledge of the japanese-style dojo facing the garden.
She watched her surrounding change a red-orange tinge.'I can't wait till I
visit my grandpa and grandma. Maybe grandpa will teach me more techniques'
she thought. Then a familiar growl was heared nearby."Hikari!!" she held
out both of her arms to hug her pet. Hikari ran to Hikaru and licked her
face. She made it sit down beside her. "You know Hikari" she talked to her
dog. The dog seemed to be listening."For two months I'll be leaving to stay
in my province to practice." She stared into its eyes. "But no matter what
happens there, I still love you." she giggled and hugged it again. The sun
had already set. The atmoshpere slowly changed and a hoot was heard from
afar. Hikaru stood up to wait for it to near her. It perched on her
outstreched arm. She took the one of two letters and read it." Dear Ms.
Shidou, To know the truth is to experience it. It is seriously not a joke
of any kind, believe me. I do not know how to prove its reality in a letter,
but I assure you Hogwarts School of Witchcarft and Wizardry is not fiction
but a fact. Yours, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster." then she opened the second
one. "Dear Ms. Shidou, I, Minerva McGonagall, upon Witches Oath promise you
that this is real, and not fantasy. Yours, Minerva McGonagall" she then
returned her letter back into the envelope. 'I think this is serious. I'll
call Fuu and Umi'. She stood up and told the owl "Please wait, I'll be
thinking this out. I 'll call you when it's dinner time so you could also eat
as my guest." The owl seemed to nod and flew towards the tree nearby. Hikaru
ran to the telephone and dialed first Umi's number. It rang, but it was only
the answering machine.'Umi must have eaten out.' She put the phone down again
and lifted it to dial Fuu's number.
It rang. "Kobanwa, Kuu Hououji speaking."
"Hey Kuu, could I please speak to your younger sister Fuu?"
"Hang on I'll call her." Kuu slowly put down the reciever. Thirty
seconds have passed when a running sound was heard nearby. Hikaru heard
someone picking it up.
"Hello Hikaru."
"Hi Fuu."
"IgotaletterfromMinervaMcGonagalandAlbusDumbledore!" They said
together.
"I believe it Fuu. Do you?" Hikaru asked her wise friend.
"I think we should. The only way to find out for real is go there.
I'll be giving the letter to my parents but convincing them I'm a witch will
be pretty hard."
"I know what you feel. My brothers would probably think it is a joke,
but I'll try. How about Umi? I tried calling her at her home but it seems
that no one's there." Hikaru fingered the telephone wire.
"I'll be the one to call her later." Fuu said to Hikaru."Maybe I'll
convince her parents too after my Okasan and Otosan"
"O.K then. I'll call you after I explain it to my brothers over
dinner.She placed the reciever back to where it should be. *sigh* 'Here it
goes.'. She slowly walked to the dining room where her elder brothers are
all waiting for her.
"The was quite a long call you did Hikaru. What was it about? It
sounded urgent." Kakeru teased his youngest sibling.
"It is important." Hikaru honestly said to them in the table. She
handed the letter from the other day and from today to Satoru, the eldest
and the father-like figure of the family.
Satoru read quietly what it said as Masaru and Kakeru looked intently
upon him. Then he put down the letter on the table. Satoru looked into
Hikaru's innocent eyes. "Is this the reason why you have been quiet lately
after coming to Tokyo Tower from a field trip. You were surprised on what you
did so you kept it?"
"Yes Satoru-san." Hikaru nodded. She did not dare telling her elder
brothers on how she bacame a Legendary Magic Knight.
"You do not have to be ashamed of your decision of not telling us.
We respect your thoughts and actions. I will allow you to go, provided that
you have someone to accompany you. An education like this should only be
taken by a person who is a part of that kind of learning. I think you will
be capable of that." Satoru beamed a small smile at her.
"What are you talking about Satoru?" Masaru looked confused at what
they are talking about and grabbed the letter and read it. "Satoru. do you
really believe this thing?"
"If Hikaru admits it to us openly, it is the truth." He also looked
seriously at Kakeru." No more arguments. This topic is already settled." All
the family members went silent. Slowly, eveyone started to eat. Hikaru saved
some leftovers for Hikari and the owl.
Outside, Hikaru gave the food to her pet and the owl as she wrote a
letter back to Minerva McGonagall that she was allowed to go study at
Hogwarts. She gave the letter to the owl who hooted happily thanking her
for the food and water given.
=Fuu's House=
After dinner, Fuu gathered her family members to the living room to
discuss something very important. Mr. Hououji was not much used to this
because he only knew his youngest daughter would only do this to get their
attention into important matters.Mr. Hououji sipped his tea that Kuu made for
the evening, put it down and started."What is it that you want to talk with
us urgently Fuu?"
"Otosan," she faced her father "Okasan."She faced her mother.
"Yesterday, I recieved a letter from an unkown source that confirms me that
I am a witch."
"What?!?!" Her father sputtered. Mrs. Hououji tapped his back to
make his back better.He put down again his tea. Fuu slowly passed the two
letters. One from yesterday and the other one she received earlier. He slowly
read it."And you actually believe this kind of information from someone
pretending to be a headmaster and deputy headmistress?"
Fuu's mother started massaging her husband's back "Now now, simmer
down love, that is why we are here to talk things out.
"You mean you can actually do magic Fuu? Isn't that kind of fun!"
Kuu joined the conversation.
" Well, I don't actually know. My life has changed greatly because
of strange happenings I cannot explain." Fuu admitted to her family.
"Then, we shall assist you to Britain. We will go too." Mr. Hououji
looked at Kuu. "Except for Kuu." that statement wiped that smile off Kuu's
face."Because her school year will start at June while Fuu this year starts
on September."
"Oh. I thought I was also coming. But don't ever forget to bring
me sweets from there." she hugged her younger sister. "I'm sure you won't
forget it."
"Thanks Otosan, I know you will understand." Fuu thanked his
father for the permission and the company.An hour had passed and Fuu went
directly inside her room to call Umi. In any way, she did promise Hikaru that
she will call Umi.
Ring. Ring. Ring."Hello, Ryuuzaki residence." the person on the other
side greeted.
"May I please speak with Umi, and please tell her that this is Fuu."
she asked politely.
"Please wait a minute." the voice said.
"Umi here. Did you also recived a letter today?" she investigated
Fuu.
"Yeah, I did. I already got an approval from my parents." she
told everything immediately in one sentence.
"I had quite a hard time with mine. It took me two whole hours in
excess to make them say yes. Probably they were so worried for my welfare.
but I told them that I can take care of myself."
"Good. Hikaru and I also wanted to make sure you come too."she paused
"I'll call her right now."
"Bye then.Hee hee. I can't wait. we'll be together in one school."
Umi said her thoughts.
"Sayonara." after that she pressed the receiver to end. She lifted it
up again to call Hikaru.
Ring. "Hello, this is Hikaru Shidou of the Shidou Dojo." Hikaru
answered the phone.
"Hikaru! Umi and I are also going to Britain. Were you also allowed?"
"You bet I was. Satoru believed me at once." I'm so happy!
"Have a happy summer! Bye! I'll call you so that we could decide
where to meet before we go to the airport. Or maybe you call me or Umi too!"
"Byee!" and their phone call ended.

She watched her surrounding change a red-orange tinge.'I can't wait till I
visit my grandpa and grandma. Maybe grandpa will teach me more techniques'
she thought. Then a familiar growl was heared nearby."Hikari!!" she held
out both of her arms to hug her pet. Hikari ran to Hikaru and licked her
face. She made it sit down beside her. "You know Hikari" she talked to her
dog. The dog seemed to be listening."For two months I'll be leaving to stay
in my province to practice." She stared into its eyes. "But no matter what
happens there, I still love you." she giggled and hugged it again. The sun
had already set. The atmoshpere slowly changed and a hoot was heard from
afar. Hikaru stood up to wait for it to near her. It perched on her
outstreched arm. She took the one of two letters and read it." Dear Ms.
Shidou, To know the truth is to experience it. It is seriously not a joke
of any kind, believe me. I do not know how to prove its reality in a letter,
but I assure you Hogwarts School of Witchcarft and Wizardry is not fiction
but a fact. Yours, Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster." then she opened the second
one. "Dear Ms. Shidou, I, Minerva McGonagall, upon Witches Oath promise you
that this is real, and not fantasy. Yours, Minerva McGonagall" she then
returned her letter back into the envelope. 'I think this is serious. I'll
call Fuu and Umi'. She stood up and told the owl "Please wait, I'll be
thinking this out. I 'll call you when it's dinner time so you could also eat
as my guest." The owl seemed to nod and flew towards the tree nearby. Hikaru
ran to the telephone and dialed first Umi's number. It rang, but it was only
the answering machine.'Umi must have eaten out.' She put the phone down again
and lifted it to dial Fuu's number.
It rang. "Kobanwa, Kuu Hououji speaking."
"Hey Kuu, could I please speak to your younger sister Fuu?"
"Hang on I'll call her." Kuu slowly put down the reciever. Thirty
seconds have passed when a running sound was heard nearby. Hikaru heard
someone picking it up.
"Hello Hikaru."
"Hi Fuu."
"IgotaletterfromMinervaMcGonagalandAlbusDumbledore!" They said
together.
"I believe it Fuu. Do you?" Hikaru asked her wise friend.
"I think we should. The only way to find out for real is go there.
I'll be giving the letter to my parents but convincing them I'm a witch will
be pretty hard."
"I know what you feel. My brothers would probably think it is a joke,
but I'll try. How about Umi? I tried calling her at her home but it seems
that no one's there." Hikaru fingered the telephone wire.
"I'll be the one to call her later." Fuu said to Hikaru."Maybe I'll
convince her parents too after my Okasan and Otosan"
"O.K then. I'll call you after I explain it to my brothers over
dinner.She placed the reciever back to where it should be. *sigh* 'Here it
goes.'. She slowly walked to the dining room where her elder brothers are
all waiting for her.
"The was quite a long call you did Hikaru. What was it about? It
sounded urgent." Kakeru teased his youngest sibling.
"It is important." Hikaru honestly said to them in the table. She
handed the letter from the other day and from today to Satoru, the eldest
and the father-like figure of the family.
Satoru read quietly what it said as Masaru and Kakeru looked intently
upon him. Then he put down the letter on the table. Satoru looked into
Hikaru's innocent eyes. "Is this the reason why you have been quiet lately
after coming to Tokyo Tower from a field trip. You were surprised on what you
did so you kept it?"
"Yes Satoru-san." Hikaru nodded. She did not dare telling her elder
brothers on how she bacame a Legendary Magic Knight.
"You do not have to be ashamed of your decision of not telling us.
We respect your thoughts and actions. I will allow you to go, provided that
you have someone to accompany you. An education like this should only be
taken by a person who is a part of that kind of learning. I think you will
be capable of that." Satoru beamed a small smile at her.
"What are you talking about Satoru?" Masaru looked confused at what
they are talking about and grabbed the letter and read it. "Satoru. do you
really believe this thing?"
"If Hikaru admits it to us openly, it is the truth." He also looked
seriously at Kakeru." No more arguments. This topic is already settled." All
the family members went silent. Slowly, eveyone started to eat. Hikaru saved
some leftovers for Hikari and the owl.
Outside, Hikaru gave the food to her pet and the owl as she wrote a
letter back to Minerva McGonagall that she was allowed to go study at
Hogwarts. She gave the letter to the owl who hooted happily thanking her
for the food and water given.
=Fuu's House=
After dinner, Fuu gathered her family members to the living room to
discuss something very important. Mr. Hououji was not much used to this
because he only knew his youngest daughter would only do this to get their
attention into important matters.Mr. Hououji sipped his tea that Kuu made for
the evening, put it down and started."What is it that you want to talk with
us urgently Fuu?"
"Otosan," she faced her father "Okasan."She faced her mother.
"Yesterday, I recieved a letter from an unkown source that confirms me that
I am a witch."
"What?!?!" Her father sputtered. Mrs. Hououji tapped his back to
make his back better.He put down again his tea. Fuu slowly passed the two
letters. One from yesterday and the other one she received earlier. He slowly
read it."And you actually believe this kind of information from someone
pretending to be a headmaster and deputy headmistress?"
Fuu's mother started massaging her husband's back "Now now, simmer
down love, that is why we are here to talk things out.
"You mean you can actually do magic Fuu? Isn't that kind of fun!"
Kuu joined the conversation.
" Well, I don't actually know. My life has changed greatly because
of strange happenings I cannot explain." Fuu admitted to her family.
"Then, we shall assist you to Britain. We will go too." Mr. Hououji
looked at Kuu. "Except for Kuu." that statement wiped that smile off Kuu's
face."Because her school year will start at June while Fuu this year starts
on September."
"Oh. I thought I was also coming. But don't ever forget to bring
me sweets from there." she hugged her younger sister. "I'm sure you won't
forget it."
"Thanks Otosan, I know you will understand." Fuu thanked his
father for the permission and the company.An hour had passed and Fuu went
directly inside her room to call Umi. In any way, she did promise Hikaru that
she will call Umi.
Ring. Ring. Ring."Hello, Ryuuzaki residence." the person on the other
side greeted.
"May I please speak with Umi, and please tell her that this is Fuu."
she asked politely.
"Please wait a minute." the voice said.
"Umi here. Did you also recived a letter today?" she investigated
Fuu.
"Yeah, I did. I already got an approval from my parents." she
told everything immediately in one sentence.
"I had quite a hard time with mine. It took me two whole hours in
excess to make them say yes. Probably they were so worried for my welfare.
but I told them that I can take care of myself."
"Good. Hikaru and I also wanted to make sure you come too."she paused
"I'll call her right now."
"Bye then.Hee hee. I can't wait. we'll be together in one school."
Umi said her thoughts.
"Sayonara." after that she pressed the receiver to end. She lifted it
up again to call Hikaru.
Ring. "Hello, this is Hikaru Shidou of the Shidou Dojo." Hikaru
answered the phone.
"Hikaru! Umi and I are also going to Britain. Were you also allowed?"
"You bet I was. Satoru believed me at once." I'm so happy!
"Have a happy summer! Bye! I'll call you so that we could decide
where to meet before we go to the airport. Or maybe you call me or Umi too!"
"Byee!" and their phone call ended.
