     THE HALLWAYS ALWAYS seemed to empty for the pair of girls walking side by side, ready to hex anyone who dared to look at them, even when they were brimming with people. They moved out of their way with such haste and they didn't care if they hurt themselves while doing it. They don't want to suffer their wrath. Azumi Hanako and Myy Mae were a pair not to test. While it's true that the school was consisting of only the top notch dark wizards and witches, future dark emperors or empresses ━ everyone feared the pair. They seemed darker, they had the devil in them. Which is why Azumi didn't understand why the Headmistress chose her and Myy to show the new, British kid around. She could've asked Saiko Hinami ━ an annoying dark haired witch in her year. But Azumi never complained one ounce since she told her last week, she didn't complain when she announced to the school that Sirius Black was joining them to learn their marvelous magic, and she sure as hell didn't complain when they anointed her as the one to give Sirius a Japanese name.

It was their tradition when it came to foreigners whether they stayed the year, a day or forever ━ they got a name. It was a way of showing the foreign people bold enough to visit or attend school there, that they owned them, that they may go wherever their hearts desire, but they owned them, even in death. Azumi was happy that she got to name Sirius ━ as it's a big duty to fulfill and the highest honor anyone can obtain.

Azumi nearly laughed when she saw a scrawny thirteen year old boy. But when he smirked, she raised a brow, now intrigued. What could he have possibly done to land here? Foreigners were either tricked into attending school here or sending their children here, or done something extremely bad ━ Azumi ached to know what Sirius did.

"Kon'nichiwa," Headmistress Toriyama bowed her head slightly, acknowledging both Azumi and Myy, and the two girls bowed their heads in respect, holding their tongues, knowing fully well it will be rude to speak when not spoken to. "O ni-ri ni oaidekiteureshīdesu."

Azumi smiled, taking that as an indication to speak. "Arigatō, kōchō. Oaidekiteureshīdesu, kore wa Igirisu shusshin no otokonokodesu ka?"

Sirius scoffed. "I can understand you, perfectly well."

"Damatte, anata wa tawagoto no reigi tadashī bubun!" Myy yelled, milky eyes glaring at the boy. Her family delved too deep in the dark arts before she had been born ❨ though there wasn't such a thing, one can never dive too deep into the dark arts ❩ and paid the ultimate price when they wronged the wrong daemon and Myy was born with the rare ability to see everything ━ a blessing more than a curse.

Toriyama chuckled, smiling at Myy. "Now, now Myy, that isn't how we treat friends."

"Forgive me." Myy bowed her head in shame.

"No matter!" She laughed again. Despite running one of the, if not only, most macabre schools in the world, Toriyama was the most sanguine person in the school. Her beauty rivaled that of a God, her smile could make the sun green with envy, her eyes could make the stars gravitate from the sky and her kindness was what made her more unnerving than the angels sent by daemons to purge and cause havoc. "Sirius, Azumi and Myy here will show you around, explain more and touch the subjects I couldn't."

The boy stood up, bowing low at the woman and he looked at the pair, brown eyes wide with excitement. Azumi grunted, pulling him by his arm and she pulled him out of the Headmistress' office.

"So, what did you do to get sent here?" Azumi was first to ask, breaking the calamitous silence that had fallen on their ears.

"Uh, my parents think I'll ruin my little brother with my ungodly manners." Sirius shrugged and Myy snorted.

"Listen here, spineless fool, don't ever speak like that in the presence of Headmistress Toriyama." Myy warned and Sirius raised a brow.

"You called me an ill mannered piece of shit, I think you should watch how you speak in front of the Missy." Azumi groaned, shaking her head. No wonder his parents wanted to get rid of him.

"Stop it." She growled animalistically, golden eyes flaring in the dim sunlight pouring through the window as she glared at Sirius and at Myy, who bowed her head, not wanting to see the daemon claw it's ugly hands around her best friend's head and replace her with an entity much more monstrous than the devil. "Our school is far complex than yours, I think you should rather respect that fact than be a prick." She huffed out. "While we do practice the dark arts, we still have Potions, Transfiguration and Herbology. We brew the darkest of potions, transfigure the things of nightmares and grow the devil's garden."

"We don't have any Charms or Astronomy ━ just basic Defense, as we do need to defend ourselves against other dark witches and daemon like creatures that lurk only in the night." Myy nodded and Azumi smiled.

"We have a tradition of giving foreigners Japanese names, a way to welcome them among our midst." She shrugged. "I have been tasked to do so, and whether you like it or not, it's stays your name till you die ━"

"Okay, isn't that a bit extreme? Bloody Merlin, what if you give me something that means asswipe? I'd rather not be like James. What if it means ━"

"I kept it as close to your name as I could get." Azumi shrugged. "We'll give you the tour after lunch, for now, just the basics. I assume the Headmistress told you about the rules?"

"Yeah, she did." Sirius nodded, them smiled. "Are we friends now? Because I lost my old mates and man, I know I'm going to miss them, especially good ol' Remmy. Used to give me chocolate every night."

Azumi sighed, she knew she was going to regret this, since it's clear Myy doesn't like him and why his parents sent him away. "Do you have a place to stay during breaks?"

Sirius shook his head. "No, my lovely parents said I'll sort it out myself."

"You can stay with me, though I have to warn you, my parents are very strict and we have a few odd people living with us ━ if you want to live, stay clear of their path." Azumi smiled a little. "And yes, we're friends. Welcome to our school Kuroi Hoshi."

"That means black star! I love it!" Sirius beamed and Azumi chuckled a little, while Myy frowned.

I can see the bearded man's aura all over him ━ we can't be friends. Though she never told Azumi, even with the arrival of Albus Dumbledore three years later.
