Black Goat's Nest [DRAFT]

Re:Ceive

Guest Yay you updated on my Birthday so cool! I love your work so far it's super cute and fun while also dealing with traumatic experiences and I'm a huge fan of the Harry is Kaneki trope. Love you hun! Keep on writing what makes you happy! :)

...............

Aww thanks that made me inexplicably happy

...............

Sorry for taking so long to update! I've just been drowning in homework and I didn't have much time to write. I've also added the story to AO3 so if you guys wanna read it there now you can!

Kaneki sighed as he puked up his lunch. It had been a few weeks since he'd arrived at Hogwarts. Thankfully he'd gotten used to school life and human food over the past few weeks though nightmares still plagued his sleep.

He'd switched out his contacts for glasses only this time the frames were oval and much nicer looking (imagine Haise) and his hair had surprised him by starting to come in a black again (again think Haise)

The cool stone seared against his flushed body as he evened out his breathing. He stretched as he got up from the floor and noticed how stiff his body felt. He hadn't been able to train since that time in the forest so he'd been expecting it. He'd need to find some time for it later.

The more troubling thing though was how his kakuhou burned painfully. He hadn't had ghoul in multiple weeks which was a stark contrast to his daily binges back in Tokyo and it was getting harder and harder to ignore. Humans could only do so much for him and Tsukiyama was taking too long to ship him something more substantial.

Kaneki was doing homework at the library when Ron walked up to him.

"Oi Kaneki, Hagrid wants to see you at 12 tonight. Take the cloak, I'll be coming along too but with a pass. After we get back there's someone I need to introduce you to," Ron said discreetly.

Kaneki nodded as he got up to head to class when a stabbing pain blossomed through his back. He gasped and hunched over as he tensed up from the pain, vision going spotty as the world swam.

"Woah! You ok?" Ron asked as he rushed to check on Kaneki.

The warm smell of flesh invaded Kaneki's nose and assaulted his mind. His mouth watered at the prospect of gorging himself on the tantalizing smell and it took too much effort to stop himself.

"Sorry, yeah, I'm fine. My muscles just got a bit cramped," Kaneki lied with a reassuring smile as he pushed his urges down.

"Do you need help?" Ron asked.

"N-no I'm fine," he said, accidentally catching another whiff of meat. Pulling out a small bottle he rubbed a bit of lavender oil on the collar of his clothes and hands which gave him some temporary relief.

"All right, but I'm gonna come with you just in case, 'sides, we're both headed to charms," Ron said, still concerned.

Kaneki nodded before he straightened out his back and continued walking, pretending that each step didn't hurt.

It was when he got to the courtyard that everything went to hell.

"Hey, Potter! My father and I have a bet you see. I don't think You're going to last 10 minutes in this tournament, he disagrees. He thinks you won't last 5!" Draco mocked arrogantly.

Kaneki's face scrunched up in annoyance but he didn't acknowledge the insult.

"Bugger off Malfoy!" Ron said without looking back.
