A/N: Sorry it has taken so long to update; I have no idea when I will finish the next chapter.

IMPORTANT! (Read below)…

There are a few things about the story I need to make clear. First; this story is fully canon compliant to the anime, though there may be the odd reference to the manga, I am still thinking on wether-or-not what happens with the impure king will happen, but if it dose it will after the anime in the two year gap. Second; this means Yukio DOSE have powers, in this story he just uses them less than Rin and they are extremely weaker than his. Third Rin calls Fujimoto 'father' and Satan 'dad' and last but not least it was pointed out to me that Moody's eye can see through solid object hence he would be able to see Rin's tail. So in this story Moody's eye can see through solid objects but not cloths unless a password (which the fake Moody does not know) is said (because Moody must have had some kind of morals… we hope…). Also would readers prefer shorter chapters that are updated quicker or this kind of length that could take months? Let me know in a review or PM.

Talking: "I am talking."

Japanese: "I am talking Japanese."

Thinking/mental discussion: 'I am thinking.'

Sorting Hat: 'I am a Hat'

Writing/flashback: I am writing/having a flashback.

The next morning when Rin woke up the storm had passed but outside the window grey clouds still swirled ominously. Yukio was already up, quietly getting ready for the day. Rin stretched and gave a rather loud yawn causing Yukio to turn and glare at him. Turning to slide out of bed Rin became aware of Yukio's continued stare , what had he done now? Almost pointedly he felt his tail twitch. Oh, right. Grabbing it, he quickly but gently shoved it under his shirt, wrapping it loosely around his body. Looking around Rin was glad to see none of their dorm mates had been awoken.

"You need to be more careful, brother. we no longer have a dorm all to our selves"

"I know"

Yukio nodded once before going back over to his bed were he continued reading a beginners charms book.

Rin having got changed flopped back on the bed.

"Ow, god damn it!" he hissed rubbing the back of his head with one hand and removing Thantos from under his pillow with his other.

"How is it you keep hurting yourself with it when you have had it over a year?"

Rin glared at the sleek, black gun before putting it in a holster hidden amongst the folds of his robes.

"That thing has it out for me, I swear!"

Yukio just snorted going back to his book.

The other boys in the dorm started to stir by the time Rin had gotten board of staring at the top of his four-poster bed, which for Rin was surprisingly long. ?

Ron gave a massive yawn blinking at them with sleep still clouding in his eyes "you guys are nut jobs being awake so early"

"Is not my fault, it's all those mornings Yukio and Shura forced me up at the crack of dawn"

"I truly feel for you" Harry yawned also sitting up in bed rubbing his eyes

"It wasn't that bad brother"

"You've always been a morning person though"

"I suppose I have, you can always get things done when no one ells is up to disturbed you"

One of the other boys waggled their eye brows suggestively.

Rin raised his arms to cover his face with a disturbed expression "Bad metal images, bad mental images!"

When they got down to the great hall for breakfast the food was already out on the tables. It was obvious to Yukio that Rin missed cooking their meals no matter how much he might deny it.

Yukio leaned over to whisper in his older brother's ear "you can always see about finding the kitchens later"

The Weasley twins who had gone unnoticed until then over heard.

"You looking for the kitchen?"

"We can show you…"

"Maybe get some stuff of our own…"

"The house elves are such helpful things."

Rin nodded along enthusiastically, "that would great!"

"Can I tag along?" Hermione asked with a calculative look on her face.

"Not this again Hermione, the house elves are happy were they are." Ron groaned

"Trying to free the house elves are we Hermione?"

"While a noble sentiment…" one of the twins started talking the other one continuing on the sentence.

"We have to agree with Ronniekins here."

"Well 'Tah' McGonagall is heading this way." They continued, it was like watching a tennis match

"Don't want to be accused of bothering you little ones…"

The twins slipped of to sit further down the table, Ron glowered after them.

"Those two are always teasing me."

"How are you settling in?" asked McGonagall, her finally made spectacles hanging precariously on the end of her nose, came up behind the Okamura brothers sending a grimace the Weasley twin's way.

"Fine thank you," Yukio replied.

"I have your schedules here, I'm sure Ms. Granger, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley can show you the way around" she handed them all a slip of paper before continuing her way down the table.

"We have herbology first," Ron tired to saying through a mouth full of food making Yukio lean back as food and spit flew dangerously close.

Hermione scowled at him "That's disgusting."

Ron swallowed, waved his hand at her dismissively turning to the Okamura twins "What electives did you two choose?"

"Ah…" Rin looked his time table up and down "how do you tell?"

"You chose them at the start of the year, here." Hermione held out her hand for his time table. Taking it she looked it over critically, before smiling "You have the same as these two idiots," she gabled her thumb at Harry and Ron "divination and Care of magical creatures, what about you Yukio?"

"Care of magical creatures and ancient runes."

"Good choice, runes is definitely better then divination, the teacher is a fraud, I would watch out for her Rin, your death will probably be predicted at least once in the lesson."

"Huh, really? I wonder what she will come up with…"

"Now I'm almost disappointed I didn't chose that class," Yukio smirked.

Rin (maturely) stuck his tongue out.

"That was a disaster!"

"A disaster? That was bloody awesome!"

They were on their way to care of magical creatures after herbology, the sun only just visible, the clouds casting shadows over the surrounding area. A cold wind tore at their cloths; only relenting when they reached Hagrid's hut.

"I didn't mean to, it just kind of… then it was… and it died…"

Ron patted Rin on the back comfortingly "Don't worry I'm sure you'll find something your good at."

"It was odd one minute it was there the next a pile of ash, what do you think happened?" Harry added.

"beats me." Continued Ron.

Rin shrugged and peered intently at the grass.

"What do you think are in those crates?" Hermione asked clearly concerned, drawing them out of their conversation. As if to answer her question Hagrid noticed them, giving them a grin.

"Mornin' Be'er wait fer the Slytherins, they won' want ter miss this - Blast-Ended Skrewts!"

"Come again?" asked Ron.

Hagrid pointed down into the crates.

"Eurgh!" squealed one of the gryffindor girls, jumping backwards.

That just about summed up the Blast-Ended Skrewts. They looked like deformed, shell-less lobsters, horribly pale and slimy-looking, with legs sticking out in very odd places and no visible heads. There were about a hundred of them in each crate, each about six inches long, crawling over each other, bumping blindly into the sides of the were giving off a very powerful smell of rotting fish. Every now and then, sparks would fly out of the end of a Skrewt and, with a small phut, it would be propelled forwards several inches.

"On'y jus' hatched," said Hagrid proudly, "so yeh'll be able ter raise 'em yerselves! Thought we'd make a bit of a project of it!"

"And why would we want to raise them?" said a cold voice. The Slytherins had arrived. Hagrid looked stumped at the question.

"I mean, what do they do?" asked Malfoy. "What is the point of them?"

Hagrid opened his mouth, apparently thinking hard; there was a few seconds' pause, then he said roughly, "That's next lesson, Malfoy. Yer jus' feedin' 'em today. Now yeh'll wan' ter try 'em on a few diff'rent things - I've never had 'em before, not sure what they'll go fer - I got ant eggs an' frog livers an' a bit o' grass-snake - jus' try 'em out with a bit of each."

"First pus and now this," muttered one of the boys from the dorm, Seamus, was it?

"Ouch!" yelled someone else, after about ten minutes. "It got me!"

Hagrid hurried over to them, looking anxious.

"It's end exploded!" he said angrily, showing Hagrid a burn on his hand.

"Ah, yeah, that can sometimes happen when they blast off," said Hagrid, nodding.

"Urgh!" wined the same girl as before "urgh, Hagrid, what's that pointy thing on it?"

"Ah, some of 'em have stings," said Hagrid enthusiastically (she quickly withdrew her hand from the box).

"I reckon they're the males ... the females've got sorta sucker things on their bellies ... I think they might be ter suck blood."

Rin Scowled , he wasn't letting any midget demon suck his blood. When he was sure no one was looking he let blue flame flash in his eyes, giving the skrewt a hard stare, like he had accidently done so long ago with the frog demon he couldn't be bothered to remember the name of. It only caught his gaze for a millisecond before backed away immediately, tail lowering, it flinched away as Rin gave it a small pat on the head.

"Good little fire blasting thingy, you're not so bad"

Ron stared at him in amazement "Wow, what did you do?"

"Trade secret." Rin held his finger to his lip.

The classroom was clogged with the smell of smoke and perfume. The room shrouded in half darkness, gave it a kind of eerie, mysterious feeling that made Rin feel drowsy. He shook himself it was worse than Gehenna that had a sulphuric smell constantly present. A pair of magnified eyes appeared making him jump back. The sweet smell of brandy asulted his nose pulling him out of his slumber. Before him was lightly painted lips quivering:

"Ah, the new boy… I sense bad things in your future… bad things indeed… you shall die one day…" so this was Proffessor Twinally. Hard of seeing, hardly thinking and probably a little deaf. This is going to be just great.

"Won't we all?" he replied.

"Yes, but you will die… due to a piece of broccoli!"

Rin chocked at the mental images of Amaimon that provided.

It was with relief when Rin left for supper after the death by broccoli he had been obliterated by at least two other calamities that had involved a squid, a squirrel and a hair brush. In fact it seemed that if he was to survive the rest of the year he would need to avoid all sea food and bathrooms. He met his brother at dinner and they left early so that they could do their reports without being interrupted by the other students.

Official report to Mephisto Pheles –

September 2nd 1994

Sir Pheles,

This is Okamura Yukio, middle-upper class exorcist, submitting his official report on 'Operation Hogwarts'. After embarking on a six hour train journey on what is known as the 'Hogwarts express', we were made to cross a lake with first years (while above years took carriages drawn by strange black winged creatures, species unknown). While crossing the lake a mid-level powered demon made its self know by grabbing a student (Creavy, Collin) in our boat, it was dealt with accordingly. We (Rin and I) were ushered into a side chamber of the castle (what the school is situated in). We were then introduced to the school before being sorted into houses; Gryffindor for the brave, Ravenclaw for the smart, Hufflepuff for the loyal, and Slytherin for the ambitions; this is decided through a talking hat. While almost being placed in Ravenclaw both Rin and I have been placed in Gryffindor. the first day of classes were uneventful we had herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Divanation. There are five boys in our dorm and we have so far managed to stay under the radar. Another report will be submitted at the end of the week if nothing of urgency occurs.

Okumura Yukio

Hey Mephy,

Rin here! We're at this massive kick-ass castle, you should see it! It's awesome. I'm in Gryffindore, where the brave are, there was this awesome feast and I saved a kid from a squidy-thing (Yukio got annoyed when I used my flames to dry off :(, spoil sport). Classes were cool, there was fire shooting demon and a teacher who said I would die due to broccoli. How's Kuro and everyone?

See ya, Rin!

P.S I killed my plant in herbology...

August 27th 1994 -

Rin was sitting at the desk in the room he and Yukio shared, head on the manga he was reading, eye's slowly slipping shut.

'Thud'

He shut up straight "I am not sleeping!" he said while looking around franticly before realising he was not in class.

On the desk in front of him was a moderately sized, fluffy… something.

"What the hell are you?" Rin peered closer at the strange anomaly "are you a… fluffy brown slug?" he went to poke it. It bit him.

Rin pushed himself away, the chair toppling backwards spilling Rin all over the floor "Ow, what was that for?"

Yukio came round the corner a plate in his hand "Rin? What happened?"

"That thing… It attacked me!"

"Because you're absolutely defenceless?" Yukio gave him that look, the 'I know you're stupid Rin, no need to prove me right' look.

"Have you ever seen a demon like that? It's potentially dangerous!"

"It's an owl, Rin."

"It… is?"

"Yes"

"Oh"

Yukio shook his head in mock despair "I would ask whether or not you payed attention in class but I know that you don't so I won't bother"

"I graduated!" Rin cried indignantly taking his exorcist identification card out of his breast pocket and shoving it towards Yukio "see?"

"Yes brother, I was there"

An awkward silence.

"Right"

"This is just not your night is it?"

"It's not that bad"

Another look.

"Fine" Rin scowled, the owl squawking to remind them it was there "But what's that thing…" a glare from both occupants of the room "… owl doing here?"

"I don't know I never went into an in-depth study of owls"

Rin drew in a shocked gasp "Yukio doesn't know something? Is the world ending?"

Yukio put on a mock affronted look but still had a small smile on his face "It is 'dose not' not 'doesn't'"

"Talk to the hand, 'cause the mouth ain't talking"

"Do you even know what that means?"

"Not really"

Another squawk.

"Okay, okay what is it?"

The owl held out a leg imperiously to Rin, peering closely he could see two tiny pieces of paper attached.

"Are these for use?"

Yukio nodded slipping them open "I've never heard of using owls to transport letters"

"Is it from the clown? He's weird enough to use them."

Yukio shook his head "This is more Amaimon's kind of thing" he tossed one of the letters to Rin.

It was in English and he had a bit of trouble understanding it at first. "The school of what and what- what?

"Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, utter rubbish"

"But it has dad's human name on it, I should probably check…"

He focused on the link, ignoring whatever Yukio had started to say.

'Dad?'

'What?' Satan snapped, just because he was nicer to his children than others might be led to believe didn't mean he wasn't usually snappy or grumpy; sometimes he was even downright petulant.

'Me and Yukio…'

'Yukio and I' Satan corrected absently.

Cue scowl 'Yukio and I received some interesting letters'

Satan finally gave Rin his undivided attention 'so you finally got your Hogwarts letters?'

'So you know something about it?'

'Didn't I tell you about Gale?'

'That name sound familiar…'

'You met him four three years ago, he possessed one of your friends. Konemaru… or something?"

'Konekomaru… Oh! I remember now, the one with the glow-y eyes'

'That's the one'

'I think you mentioned him in passing'

'Only in passing…?' If Yukio could hear them he would of taken note of how much father and son sounded alike when they were absent minded 'Oh, well no time like the present. Five months ago the tail I had on Gale turned up dead and he disappeared bellow the radar but two months ago we got wind of him in Scotland at a 'Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry', I enrolled you and Yukio so that you can find him and send him back to Gehenna or if need be annihilate him'

'You're sending me back to school?!'

'Is that the only bit you got out of that? I thought you would be more surprised about the existence of magic'

'Wait magic exists?'

'How you have managed to survive for so long is beyond me, your simple mindedness never fails to astound me' Satan told him dryly.

'So Yukio and I will be attending a magic school to hunt down a demon that tried to kill me three years ago and has likely tripled in power if his contractor is magical?'

'Basically'

There was a long silence on Rin's end.

'Okay, I should let Yukio in on the plan'

Rin cut the connection coming back to reality, Yukio stared at him expectantly.

"It was dad; Gale seems to have formed a contract with an English wizard"

"Wizard?"

"That's what he said." Rin shrugged noncommittally "What I can't get is I have to go back to school, school! This has got to be my worst nightmare"

Yukio looked the letter over again with a calculative eye. "Trust you to be more concerned with school that the existence of wizards"

Drakon45 - I never thought of that but it gives me some good plot ideas, so thanks :)

AKASparkels - Thank you so much! I forgot about the paintings and never even thought about mad-eye's eye. If it wasn't for you there would be some major plot holes in this story.

SecondToNon- I did not realise I wrote that. I am not sure were in the story it is but I will try to locate and rectify it.

LiveToTell- Kuro will defiantly be in the story, either chapter four or five.

Grrrrr- Read the author note at the top of the page.

Thingofmyth- at the moment I am not sure but it is highly likely as the trio get suspicions of practically everything.

PSML-Thank you for telling me about Percy and the spelling I will do/ have done my best to fix it. Though I'm not sure where you got the idea the tri-wizard tournament is every four years…

LoveSycho- I thank you for the magic cookies, they were scrumptious. I am not sure why I added the gun in besides the fact I think it's kind of cool.

HiThere- Thank you for pointing that out.

SomeLover- I'm glad you like it, I'm not planning to give this story up any time soon (though it might be slow to update).

I would like to especially thank deathnoteno1fan-codegeasslover (by the way love the name) for reviewing every chapter.

And thank you to anyone else who reviewed, followed or favourite this story.
