Black Goat's Nest [DRAFT]

Re:Address

A mention to my wonderful beta reader Lilister who'll proof-read all my chapters from now on

lazyandbitter:

Some next questions have been swimming around my mind. The first one being, will Sirius and Remus make an appearance any time soon, and if they do will Remus somehow be able to tell that Kaneki is not fully human? The second which just came up while reading this chapter is if Mcgonagall is going to tell Dumbledore and the other teachers or even just Dumbledore about how people in Japan acted around Kaneki? Be it in detail or just in passing.

......

I honestly don't know when Sirius and Remus are going to pop up. Kaneki might realize that Remus isn't entirely human before Remus can even be suspicious of Kaneki.

Ghouls like Hinami with more than one naturally occurring (aka not through cannibalism) kagune are called Chimeras. Canonically they have a better sense of smell than most ghouls, so while Kaneki might smell the undertone of canine Hinami would get the full wet-dog-but-not-really smell.

I will say Kaneki reacts differently to dementors than most, but that has more to do with his broken mind than his species.

McGonagall probably will mention the stuff that happens in Tokyo to Dumbledore over a spot of tea, but she'll mostly leave it be until the CCG arrives.

Guest:

It's good but for this to make more sense Kaneki needs to be older even if it's just by a few years around 17

...

I know, it was something that I debated for a while. I didn't want to age him up because it messes with the Goblet of Fire plot (they would act like adults, be less naive and figure things out faster), but at the same time, a 14-year-old Kaneki makes absolutely no sense. In the end, I decided to make all the characters in Tokyo ghoul younger because most of the story is set at Hogwarts. I'm not a hundred percent happy with it though.

Kamii University is Kamii High School, and Kiyomi High School is Kiyomi Middle School

Tsukiyama is 17, Touka is 14, Ayato is 13, Hinami is 10, Banjou is 18, and Rize was 16. The CCG officers stay their cannon age except for Hide who's also 14

It's best to think of Kaneki at Hogwarts like Haise. He didn't forget anything, but Hogwarts started to bring out his motherly side. All the emotions he'd been repressing came pouring out again. Unfortunately, it just ended up replacing his emotionless mask with one of happiness and stability. His mind is a mess, and his thoughts range from suicidal to homicidal, but no one else needs to know that.

......

McGonagall had just apparated Kaneki into a back alley in the 14th ward. This happened to be a ward Kaneki had spent quite a bit of time in, mainly because of the high amount of cannibalism in the ward. It made it harder for the CCG to trace anything back to him. Speaking of the CCG, he should keep an eye on his rating and status. He was hoping to stay SS rated, and if the odds were in his favor, he would be declared dead. Unfortunately, with his luck, he would be bumped up to SSS and deemed as significant a threat as the Owl if they got wind of the fact that he was alive. After all, no one escaped the white reaper.
