Hanako spent the entire Saturday out with friends. Asuno took her out to eat sushi along with Sakakibara, Seo, Koyama, and Araki. "I can't believe that you have to join the E class next term!" Koyama complained. "It is the only way for me to go to two schools at once. Apparently my long dead mother sign me up for this other school the moment she found out she was having me." Hanako told the group. "Maybe you can find me more literature?" Sakakibara asked, "If I see any." Hanako replied. Once they all finished eating, they made their way to a park that was full of Sakura trees in bloom. "This is very pretty." Hanako said looking around. "Yep, the perfect place to lead a group study session and celebrate for birthday Hanako. We all know the drill." Asano stated sitting under a tree and pulling out advanced textbooks and class notes. "Koyama, the dark reaction in photosynthesis happens where in a plant?" Hanako asked. "In the stoma." He answered quickly. This study session lasted for a few hours before they decided to give Hanako her gifts. "Here you go my little flower." Asano said handing her a small blue box. Inside of the box was a hair piece that looked like a miniature sword with a flower on it.

"I love it Asano! But is this your way of telling me to grow out my hair?" Hanako asked jokingly. "Only if you want to. For now, you can just use it to pin your bangs back in a small ponytail." Asano said smiling at his sister figure. Hanako quickly did just that with her hair and it made her look even more pretty in the eyes of everyone else. Then, Sakakibara handed her a slightly longer box wrapped up in black. When she opened the box, she saw a delicate but beautiful fan.

"Thank you." She said kindly. "Anything for a princess like you." Sakakibara gently claimed making Asano glare at him. Seo gave her a charm bracelet.

Koyama gave her a few boxes of random pocky flavors. And Araki gave her a card with some decent money in it. Once that was done, Asano walked Hanako back to the orphanage to end her Birthday. Weeks have gone by, Hanako remains as the number one in the school with everyone else in their usual spots. In that amount of time, Hanako has finished reading all of her Hogwarts class books and all of the extra ones she purchased as well. She decided to name her owl Daku meaning Dark. By the end of the school year, she got her yearly diploma and special pin for being the top student. She officially had a week before starting Hogwarts and 6 weeks before starting Kunugigaoka again as well. 7 Days Before Hogwarts Asano gave her a spare phone so they could keep in touch better. Karma took her out to beat up some jerks who picked on Nagisa. Nagisa let Hanako braid his hair. 6 Days Before Hogwarts Hanako went to a temple to pray for a few hours and calm her mind. She met a nice but reserved man named Tadaomi Karasuma. They happened to be visiting the temple at the same time and were the only two there. Karasuma was impressed with the reserved girl and they both agreed that if they ever saw each other again, to have a nice conversation again. 5 Days Before Hogwarts Hanako is taken shopping with Nagisa and his mother. She was just visiting Nagisa to help him prepare for the school year a bit more when Nagisa's mother decided to make her a bit more girly with a payed shopping trip. Hanako surprisingly had fun on the trip and Nagisa owes her for diverting his mother's attention from him. 4 Days Before Hogwarts Hanako and Onnaka are visited by Mcgnagall to discuss further details. Mcgnagall gives Hanako a time turner and a multiple use port key necklace that will take her from Hogwarts to the woods of the E building and back by tapping it twice. Mcgnagall also tells Hanako she will have a professor pick her up to take her to the train. 3 Days Before Hogwarts Hanako takes the time to pack her trunk and then catch a movie with Karma and Nagisa. 2 Days Before Hogwarts Hanako hangs out with Asano at a cafe for a few hours. She then goes to pick up a few charms from the temple. Hanako purchased a good fortune one and a academic achievement one. Hanako then purchased more mangas for her supply and placed them in her trunk. 1 Day Before Hogwarts Hanako spends most of the time up in her room studying the class material. Karma visits surprisingly but she had just enough time to repack her trunk before he saw anything. The rest of her day was spent laying on top of each other reading manga. Day of Train Ride Hanako hardly slept that night, it wasn't too unusual for her not to sleep much, but this time she could not out of anticipation. Not knowing what to wear, she just put on her Kunugigaoka uniform since she was used to wearing it so much. Thinking ahead, she took out her copy of advanced potion making to read on the train. She threw her short hair up into a small bun , she did end up growing her hair out just to her chin so it still looked like a boy hair style bun her hairpin stayed in a bit better. She sat in her room silently chewing on some pocky for her breakfast when Onnaka came into her room along with a familiar professor. "Hanako dearie, a Snape Sensei is here to take you to the train like Mcgnagall Sensei said." Onnaka yelled cheerfully. "Hello Professor Snape." Hanako said calmly. "Yes, Hello Miss Hanako. If you will excuse us Miss Onnaka, we both must be going to the train station now." Snape said without a care. "Oh, yes. Off you go dearie! Stop by to visit when you can!" Onnaka said cheerfully. "Yes Onnaka San." Hanako replied then took her luggage and went off with Snape. They both took a few steps outside before Snape apparated to King's Cross Station. "Wow, this place is much different than the bullet train stations." Hanako said in Japanese to herself. "I must ask you to not speak in Japanese in other people's presence, it is considered rude." Snape scolded. "Sorry Professor, this station is just different than the ones in Japan. There is a lot less people and the trains look so different." Hanako apologized. "It's fine, just don't do it again. Anyway, here is your ticket, it's now 10:30 the train leaves at 11 go to platform 9 and 3/4 Snape said then disappeared into the crowd. Hanako just walked around with all of her things until she heard a worried Mother's Voice. "This way to the Platform Dears. Hogwarts this way platform 9 3/4." Hanako quickly went over to the red haired woman who said that to her family. "Mrs., Can you tell me how to get to platform 9 and 3/4s?" She asked. "Of course dearie! It's Fred and George's first year at Hogwarts too. Let Charlie go and show you how then you can go through with the twins, Fred and George." The mother said pointing at her sons. "Thank you Mrs?" Hanako asked for her name. "No problem dear, My name is Molly Weasley. Who are you?" She responded. "I am Hanako." Hanako answered. "How pretty, Anyway, off to the train all of you." Mrs. Weasley said. Hanako followed the red heads and then ran through the wall. She just smiled and went onto the train. She then went into an empty compartment and put her things away before sitting down and pulling out her potions book. "Hello, we were wondering if we could sit in here, all the other compartments are full." One of the twins from earlier asked interrupting Hanako's reading. "Sure, I don't mind. You two seem like fun people to talk to anyway." Hanako answered gesturing for the two to sit down. They sat down across from her. "Well, I am Fred" "And I am George!" "Together We are the Weasly Twins!" They said together. "Nice to meet you two. I am Hanako, also known as the Devil's Partner in Crime back at home." Hanako responded with a smile. "Why a Partner in Crime?" George asked. "Yeah, why not take the title Devil?" Fred asked. "Well, the Devil's name is Karma and I already beat him in academics and decided he should get a majority of the street credit. Plus, Karma goes as far as shoving wasabi up his victim's noses. I just handle behind the scenes things, elaborate pranks against jerks, and the occasional need for homemade chloroform and alibis." Hanako answered pulling out her detailed book of everything she has ever done with or for Karma. "What's chloroform?" The twins asked. "The muggle version of sleeping draught, but it is more instant than the potions we make." Hanako explained. "Well we also play pranks on people." The twins stated with a smile. "Boys, I think this is the start to a beautiful friendship." Hanako said smirking.
