Back in Time

Chapter Four

New Teachers, Parties, Dreams?

Soon the rest of the sorting started and students were being placed in their houses. The food appeared on the table, everyone started digging in.

Kagome was looking up as the food vanished every turned to listen to Albus Dumbledore talk. Most the students were feeling tired thinking about there beds. “Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of term notices,” said Dumbledore. “First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students – and a few of our older students ought to know by now too.” (Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged smirks.) Kagome shook her head already knowing why they were smirking and noticed the twins had huge smiles on their faces.

“Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in the corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. Filch’s office door.

“ We have some changes to the staff this year. I believe five changes, the first three will be teaching a new class. Which all students must take for at least a year before deciding if they do not want to continue. The class shall be run by all three of them. First is Lord Inuyasha, Professor Sango and Professor Miroku you shall find out more about their classes when you attended. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubby-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.”

There was a round of polite but fairly unenthusiastic applause during which Harry , Ron, and Hermione exchanged slightly panicked looks; Dumbledore had not said how long Grubby-Plank would be teaching.

Dumbledore continued, “Tryouts for the House Quidditch teams will take place on the-“

He broke, looking inquiringly at Professor Umbridge. As she was not taller standing than sitting, there was a moment when nobody understood why Dumbledore had stopped talking, but then Professor Umbridge said, “Hem, Hem,” and it became clear that she had got to her feet and was intending to make a speech.

Dumbledore only looked taken back for a moment, then he sat back down smartly and looked alertly at Professor Umbridge as though he desired nothing better than to listen to her talk. To her members of the staff were not as adept at hiding their surprised. Professor Sprout’s eyebrows had disappeared into her hair, and Professor McGonagall’s mouth was as thin as the school has ever seen it. Even the twins never saw her that mad, if Sirius or Remus were there they would be asking how did someone make her that mad so they didn’t repeat it. The three new teacher for the new class glared at her for showing disrespect to Dumbledore. Even the one with silver hair and red robes was glaring at her. If Kagome didn’t know better she bet that he was thinking of a plan to ripe the woman into shreds with his hands. No new teacher has ever interrupted Dumbledore before. Many of the students were smirking; this woman obviously did not know hoe things were done at Hogwarts.

“Thank you, Headmaster,” Professor Umbridge simpered, “for those kind words of welcome.”

Kagome glared at the woman growing up in Japan you always show your elders respect and Dumbledore was a man who should be respected. Kagome listened and was only able to after having to listen to many boring speeches from back home. After she was done the students started clapping though it was rather weak till most the students who fallen asleep or went off talking noticed she was done. “Yes, it certainly was illuminating,” said Hermione in a low voice.

“Your not telling me you enjoyed it?” Ron said quietly, turning a glazed face upon Hermione. “That was the dullest speech I’ve ever heard, and I grew up with Percy.”

“At least you didn’t go to my middle school boy the speeches given there made this seem like it was telling you who won the world cup.” She said looking at Ron. The twins were listening to them “I have to agree with Hermione about it being illuminating.”

Hermione looked at Ron “And I never said it was enjoyable,” said Hermione. “It explained a lot.”

“Did it?” Harry said in surprise. “Sounded like a load of waffle to me.”

“There was hidden meaning in that waffle Harry. A couple of the things if you put them together, well it’s saying. Wait Hermione would you like to tell them or me.” Kagome said smiling.

“Go ahead Kagome.”

“Basically it means that the Ministey’s interfering at Hogwarts.” At that the heard a lot of noise. Dumbledore had dismissed the students. Hermione and Ron went to do perfect duties and Harry walked off avoiding people.

“Come on Kagome we’ll show you were to go.” The twins said while walking with her. She smiled while the took her on the shortest path to tower. She smiled when they said the password she thought it was silly. She walked in and the twins went on talking about how the planned to greet all the new teachers.

Kagome smiled looking at him “something tells me that you should prank all of them, and you should also…..” She went on talking to them as they walked up to the Gryffindor common room, but not before making a quick stop to get some things set up. Once she got there she saw Hermione talking to the first years. “Alright remember wait till I get Hermione upstairs. She said and looked at Hermione smiling she looked at the girls. “Alright girls this way I’ll show you your room. Ron show the boys there room.” Ron grumbled as he went to show the boys there room. Ginny saw Kagome and ran up stairs know what was going on. Some of the girls were heading up to so they could get ready. Since Ginny had spread the word.

Kagome smiled walking up with Lavender since Hermione was helping the first years. “So you Kagome it’s nice to have another girl in our year. By the way I’m Lavender, and this is Parvati.” She said smiling. “So is rumor true about what you planned.” Asked Lavender.

Kagome smiled, “Yeah but depends on what you heard.” The girls smiled going into there room. Kagome smiled as a house elf popped in and had tons of blankets pillows and many other things ment for a girls sleep over. There was pop corn, cookies, a couple cup cakes and many other treats. Even some regular food, Kagome smiled even though they had a feast girls love to munch on food even they had just eaten. Kagome ran to her trunk and started pulling out some sodas and bags of chips. Kagome and Ginny had begged Tonks to go out the night before and get it from a store. And Kagome’s mom had sent her a bunch ok pocky and Ramune a Japanese soda she loves. Lavender and Parvati looked at the soda “Umm how do you open it.” Pavati asked looking at it.

Kagome smiled showing the girls how to open it soon she had the cd player set up which after a lot of asking Ginny got her dad to charm so it would work at school. Kagome smiled then started to set up her posters smiling. She had a couple anime posters her friends got her, along with some of the band posters. She hung pictures of her friends up also. Soon there was a knock on the door and Ginny walked in with the fourth and third years. They all soon grabbed pillows and a blanket. Hermione was down stairs talking to Ron and Harry since he was upset. The sixth years were walking in. Kagome had fun getting to know the girls soon some of the seventh year girls joined. “This was a great idea maybe I should talk to Professor McGonagall and set it up with all the house together.” The head girl said smiling.

Kagome smiled “well Lisa I need to get my friend Hermione. And someone wants to ask the second and first year girls if they want to join.” The students smiled what amazed them was how the room was fitting all the girls together at the same time and no one was crowed.

Kagome walked into the common room seeing Harry sitting by the fire along with Ron. Then she spotted Hermione, Kagome walked over seeing Harry. “Hey Harry sorry but I’m kidnapping Hermione for the night. Hey what’s wrong Harry?”

“It’s nothing come on Ron lets get to our room I’m tired.” Harry said and walked off. Kagome watched as Ron and Harry headed off to their room.

Kagome smiled she was wearing her pj’s she had fuzzy shorts that were blue and short and a bright pink shirt. “Hey Hermione lets get upstairs.”

Hermione followed her and walked into the room. “Kagome what is going on? This is against the rules about ever girl is here. When the head Girl finds out she….”

Lisa walked over to Hermione “This is a great idea since we don’t have classes till Monday.” It was a Friday but the first of September was always the day the left for school no matter what day of the week. “I get to meet a lot more of the girls this way I was thinking Hermione we should talk to Professor McGonagall about this. Set it up with other houses, maybe have the great hall for it.” She smiled running off to hang out with her best friend and some of the other girls.

Hermione glared at Kagome “come on Hermione this will be fun and somehow there is room for everyone to sleep in here.”

“Its Hogwarts the rooms are made so all the bedrooms will expanded to fit all of the people who plan to sleep there that night. Though the students assigned to that room will always have their own space aside for them in their room. History of Hogwarts you should read it.” Hermione smiled. “I better get my pj’s on wait is that chocolate fudge brownies with Chocolate frosting.” Hermione said running off to get some.

The all ended up at one point having a huge pillow fight, dancing, they stayed up way late into the night. Everyone telling stories about what they did that summer, boys, bands, they talked about everything. The girls were helping each other paint their nails braiding each other’s hair. Some were drawing while others telling ghost stories. There was a big game of truth or dare. Kagome smiled as Ginny decided to camp over setting up her area to sleep with Kagome and Hermione, since she would sleep in the same room with her roommates for the rest of the year. Everyone was falling asleep and they were the only ones awake at the moment.

Kagome looked at Ginny then Hermione. She made sure they were the only ones awake and then sighed. “So Hermione, Ginny the shorting hat said something strange to me.
“Don’t worry Kagome it says strange things to everyone. It’s to make them think.” Hermione said smiling while eating some popcorn.

“Hermione not like that…” She said looking at them they could tell it was something only to be in between them. She took a deep breath and looked at the girls. “The sorting hat said for some reason I have a lot of memories blocked away. Also how I am at the moment I’m more a Ravenclaw but said I’m a true Gryffindor. What do you think of it?”

Hermione looked at her, “That is weird I’ll read some books about memory spells and stuff. To see if I hind anything.”

Kagome smiled nodding, “Well Hermione make sure you don’t drown your self in it. It most likely not that big of a deal.”

Hermione rolled her eyes, and smiled at Kagome and Ginny. Ginny looked at Hermione and nodded they knew they should keep it from the guys for now. The girls soon fell asleep like the rest of the girls.

Kagome looked around she was in the forest but it felt as if she was far away from where she fell asleep. She started walking around she came to a clearing. She found it strange to have a well out in the middle of the clearing. When it seemed there was no one living nearby. Kagome didn’t know why but felt a pull towards the well. Walking towards it she saw a slight glow coming from the inside. She looked on the inside of the well and noticed that there was bones at the bottom of the well. She backed away freaking out, wondering where she was. Looking at the ground there was a pink jewel lying on the ground she picked it up. Everything went black Kagome could hear people yelling. Holding the jewel she walked towards the voices. All a sudden a red blur went fling past her with a little silver. The field started to become visible to her blood was everywhere bodies littered the ground of different creatures, and humans. They looked to being wearing traditional clothes from Japan. Most the people were just blurs. A lot of the blurs were still fighting. They were fighting the only thing that was crisp. The man who is wearing a baboon cloak, he started laughing as men fell to him. There was a purple mist near him. She had a feeling she was in the past.

All a sudden there was a blast smoke was everywhere, screams were ringing in her ears. In the smoke she could barely see a girl. The girl was wearing a battle armor from the past though it seemed like it be easy to move in also she had a robe on like a witch she held her hand out and a bow and arrow formed in her hand as she shot a pink arrow at the man they were fighting. He changed and turned into a huge monster there was something glowing in his hand. She glared at him knowing that the man should not have the jewel. The woman with the arrow had seven others. They were blurs one flew down on a cat with two tails she was yelling at a boy, who was spinning a chain he ran off to the right, there was a small boy holding a blue fire, a man standing next to the boy was wearing purple he looked to be a monk, she saw to men with sliver hair one had red clothes the others were close to white, and the last speed off towards some of the monster he was so fast he looked to be a tornado. She saw the one in red grab the girl as they dodged a blast from the monster.

Kagome took a step back and was in a field a woman was attacking a girl and boy. The boy was blasted into the tree and held there. The girl sent an arrow at the woman to see it sent back at the boy. The girl jumped in the way and a pink fabric was in-between the arrow and her. She touched the boys face and fell to the ground.

Kagome woke up out of breath she stumbled to the girls restroom cold with sweat. She looking in the mirror she tried thinking of the dream. She knew it was important to her but as she thought about it more pluses of pain were sent threw her body. She grabbed her head as each pluses went but her dream faded and soon she forgot everything but the baboon man. All she could think of was how cruel and scary this man was.
