Darkness

Day Sixteen

         After a quick walk which we were subjected to Yokoshima's groans and the many attempts by Gon to run off to explore the place as well as the glaring match between Kirua and Hiei (for some strange reason) I'm surprised we reached the main Doors in one piece. Professor Dumbledore and McGoonagall were there to greet us. They were wearing semi-colourful robes, McGoonagall dark bottle green and Dumbledore purple.
         "Welcome to Hogwarts," his deep voice intoned. He bowed deeply and as one, we did the same. Here was one of great learning and wisdom. His knowledge came not from learning, but from experience and a great sense of compassionate justice.
         "Arigato gozaimascu," Kurama said.
         "Come in, come in," Dumbledore said. We followed them through the doors and were greeted by an unusual sight.
         We saw Professor Severus Snape storming down the hallaway. "Sifidilius Sapplefuss, you are not bringing that needle anywhere near me!" he said, walking backwards.
         Barbara was walking towards him with something sharp and shiny in her hands. It did not take a genius to figure that that must have been the dreaded needle. We could hear a chuckle. Turning, we saw that it was Dumbledore, while McGoonagall had a stormy look on her face. She was muttering something about "Inappropriate behaviour for teachers," and the like.
         "Sevvie..." Barb began, prompting most of us to have abnormally enlarged eyes at this point, "You don't have any other robes to wear tomorrow. You sent them all for cleaning, remember? And... you did say that you wanted to learn how to sew your students' mouths shut when you needed it," she continued in a sweet voice.
         "Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!" he screamed, running down the hallaway. All of us had sweatdrops at the back of our heads.
         "Now, if you'll follow me, I'll show you to your rooms," McGoonagall said briskly.
         As we went up the stairs, with Dumbledore gathering me, Kurama and Hiei for a quick chat, we heard a loud thud! "Ouch!" someone said loudly. Dumbledore just whistled and smiled that wise smile of his.
