Homesick ((Yuko))

[Torinasu Mitsuko S4]

Rin was feeling rather alone on her way up to the Owlery. She had not heard from home in quite some time, and it bothered her. She knew there was someone who she could look to for a warm feeling of home, and that was Kuramu. Her brother was in Sendai with her other brother, Iyashii. Iyashii was not like Kuramu at all. He was more like their father, Kenichi. Iyashii was cold and easily angered, which made Kenichi’s favorite.

Kuramu, on the other hand, was more like their mother. He was kind and loving, and always looked out for Rin. Iyashii was protective of his sister and loved her very much, but his ways were different. Regardless, Rin missed her brothers very much. At this moment, she even missed her father.

She wrapped her cloak around her tightly and continued up the stairs. She could hear the owls hooting restlessly, awaiting a human to send them out into the outside world. Rin entered the Owlery and was not surprised to find it empty, anyone who was up here in this ugly weather must have had something important to say.

She picked out her owl and attached her letter to the owl’s leg. It was not too long, but she made sure to tell Kuramu about their mother’s absent letters and begged him to make sure that she and Auntie were okay. She knew that Kuramu would reassure her worries and Iyashii would panic, and their father would roll his eyes. She could already see the scene in her head, and strangely it brought a smile to her face.

“Now you be careful, and get this to Kuramu as soon as you can,” she stroked the owl’s head and sent it off. She watched the bird fly off and started back down the stairs. She was on her way to the Great Hall for a bite to eat, but ran smack into a Ravenclaw girl whom she did not recognize.

“Oh!” she gasped, “I’m so sorry!! Are you okay? I’m so into my own thoughts, I did not see you! Oh are you hurt? Here let me see…”

She began examining the girl’s arms and face then sighed with satisfaction, “Whew…I think you’re okay. My name is Rin, by the way!”

Leave it to Rin to try and make friends in any sort of situation.

[yuko]

First step, second step, third step and other steps… “The steps don’t know to finish!” Yuko thought. She thought the same thing while she was going to the Owlery. She had got an important message for her big brother Kyouichi. Actually, she had wrote to the parchment about her life in the Hogwrats. And a, she cited about her old days that she had lived with her family. Yuko remembered one of them while she was going to the Owlery. It was a very old recollection that she coudn’t wipe from her memory.

It was one of days that Yuko was with mother together when Yuko was 7 years old. Her mother was with a lot of other women. They were very beautiful. They wore bright colours. Yuko had thought her mother was the most beautiful of them all. But Yuko was thinking it’s not enough. Her mother was a beautiful woman, but however she was very angry with Yuko. In a few minutes, Yuko had noticed a small bird and wanted to touch it. “Leave it alone!” her mother had said to Yuko. But she coudn’t leave it alone. At that moment, she had wanted the little bird more than she had wanted anything in the world. Probably just to keep her quiet, her mother had agreed.

“I don’t know why, but I began to hold the bird more tightly. Then… The bird had died.” Yuko thought while she was continued to walk to the Owlery. Perhaps, she came to there, but she hadn’t notice it. She was thinking about she had wrote to the parchment for her bir brother Kyouichi. Yuko had wrote to him that she missed him too. Of course, the answer would arrive to Yuko in a short time. “I really know this!” she thought.

And then, suddenly… She jolted. The girl hit her. “I’m so sorry!! Are you okay? I’m so into my own thoughts, I did not see you! Oh are you hurt? Here let me see.” she said to Yuko and added: “I think you’re okay. My name is Rin, by the way!”

“Yes… Thought, no… ” said Yuko to her astonishmently. “Thought, yes.. Oh, never mind. And don’t worry about me. I’m really fine, just shocked. Because I was into my own thoughts too. Whatever, my name is Yuko too. Happy to meet you. ” She was stil in a big concussion.

Rin smiled at the girl, grateful that she was not hurt. And furthermore that she did not strike her for being so careless. She did a quick glance over her and decided that she looked like she would make a nice friend. Poor Rin always did this; it was just in her nature to make friends with everyone she met. “Hello Yuko! So very good to meet you!”

She looked down at the girl’s hand and noticed the piece of parchment in her hand. “Oh are you on your way up? The owls are all very anxious today, indeed. I was just up there sending my brother, Kuramu a letter. He’s much older than I…he and my brother Iyashii. They live in Sendai now. That’s where I grew up! Well sort of…anyway, do you have any brothers? Or sisters? I have three sisters, too.”

She knew she was talking very, very fast, but she was so excited to meet someone new! “Where is your family from? Do they all live here in England?”

[yuko]

Yuko was in shock. Perhaps, she didn’t meet a person like that one. “Rin is talking very fast.” Yuko thought. “And furthermore, she is so excited.” Yuko had never met a Slytherin student like that girl. She had understood may be Rin is a different Slytherin student. Because she wasn’t looking like an angry or a dark girl. Even Yuko thought she is beter than Yuko about talking new people and meeting them.

“Where is your family from? Do they all live here in England?” Yuko had just remembered these words causing Rin was so fast when she was talking.. “Yes..” Yuko could just say this breathly. And furthermore, she was picking out an owl and attaching her letter to the owl’s leg. “My family..” Yuko continued. “Imm.. My mum and dad live in Osaka now. My family consists of four people, so my big brother is living in England. I live with him.” Yuko smiled hearty while she was talking about her big brother and she continued to talk about him. “My big brother’s name’s Kyouichi, we assents together very well. But my mother..” she stopped suddenly. Perhaps she had thought she musn’t talking about her mother. “Anyway…” she tried to parry.

While Yuko was saying about these, already she had sent the Owl for her letter’s sending. And after this, she breathed exquisitly. Then she departed from Rin, while they was climbing down on the stairs. “And you? Won’t you talk about your life?”

[Torinasu Mitsuko S4]

Not surprisingly, Rin had loads to say about her life, “Wellll, my life started when my father, Kenichi Mitsuko, met my mother Sakaeru. She was a small town girl, and he was from a long line of very wealthy and powerful wizards! My mother, though her line of wizards and witches were equally respectable, they are not as rich as my dad’s side. Anyway!”

She loved to talk about her family, so this topic was very easy for her, “Like I said, my father is from Sendai and my mother is from a small town in China. I grew up for the most part in Sendai, but our family moved to England when I was about six or seven. My mother’s been living in England for almost thirty years, ever since she graduated from Hogwarts, herself. She was a Ravenclaw, by the way, like you! My father went to a very disciplined wizarding school in Japan. I hear it’s a lot like Durmstang…I don’t know, I’ve never wanted to go there. My brother Iyashii wanted to transfer there, but mother said it was completely out of the question! I think she’s a little afraid of that school. A lot of the graduates support…”

She looked around before continuing, “…You Know Who…but not my father…”

She thought for a minute. To be perfectly honest, she was not sure whom her father was loyal to. Mother never let talk about He Who Must Not Be Named, cross the dinner table, which was all the time she got to see her father. She put the thought to the back of her mind.

“My mother and my aunt own a bakery in Diagon Alley, and they want to open a second one in Hogsmeade!” she chirped, “Whenever you get a chance to stop by the bakery, I’ll make sure you get all the cookies you want free!”

She put an arm around Yuko in a friendly manner, “Say, on the next trip to Hogsmeade, we should go together! What do you think of that?”

[yuko]

Yuko smiled at Rin. “I’ve begun to love this girl. She’s so different and wonderful girl.” She thought by herself for a minutes. And she prepared to answer Rin’s question:

“Imm.. That’s wonderful. I love to eat very much. But, please don’t ask me why am not I a fat girl. Because everybody that knows I like to eat often asks me this question.” Then the two girls began to laugh to these words. Yuko thinked to have a nice day. No, it was a wonderful day for Yuko. She looked at Rin sincerely again.

“It was a beautiful day, right?” she smiled at Rin again. And she thought Rin might be a perfect friend for her.

“…to talk to you was very nice.” She continued to talk. And they was approaching doorwasy of Hogwarts.

-[OOC: Oh no no! It's perfectly alright! ;D]-

Rin was smiling so much that her face began to sting. She was so glad to have made a new friend.

"Oh I love to eat a lot, myself!" she patted her flat tummy, "Though it doesn't show. I eat a lot of sweets, too." She thought for a moment, "I'll make sure that I ask my mother to send double treats, so I can share them with you!"

Sometimes, it was hard to make friends for her, because of the reputation her Slytherin housemates had made. She did not fit into that mold, and wondered often why she was not in one of the other houses. However, on days like these, she was glad when people ignored the House boundaries, and extended a hand of friendship.

"So...have you been as swamped with homework as I?" she asked, recalling the unfinished Potions essay that lay on her bed.

[yuko]

It was a beautiful day, there was no doubt about this for Yuko. They was laughing and luxuriating in this until satiated. However thay was talking… about sweets, foods etc. And minutes and minutes exceeded when talking about these matters. “So, have you been as swamped with homework as I?” Rin had asked this question to Yuko. Yuko thought for a few minutes. While she was thinking about that she had altered her face consideratly and rolled her eyes.

“Imm..” she began to say her words consideratly. “Yes… i think once. It was Transfiguration lesson’s homework and.. i was in first class.” Yuko smiled mockeryly. “I would to translate a goblet to a red squirrel. Can you think that, it was so difficult for me. I was late form y homework, because I thinked how will I do that homework during two week. Can you think? …just for one homework!” Yuko was smiling so much as her face began to sting as Rin.

A few minutes later she stopped to smile, even laugh… And she began to watch Rin sincerely. “Do you know? We can be best friends despite we’re in the different house. Right?” she smiled at Rin.

[Torinasu Mitsuko S4]

Rin laughed heartily, “Oh I know what you mean! Professor Snape gave me a week’s detention for being late on my homework. I think he was trying to make an example of me. But is it my fault that I am no good at Potions? Now, my brother, Iyashii was Snape’s pet. He was brilliant in Potions. But not me, I’m more of a Charms kind of girl.”

She smiled at her new friend. Suddenly she felt like she was not as alone in the big school as she had felt moments ago. She was not as homesick anymore. Maybe with Yuko, days that go by without her family would not be so terrible.

“I really hope we can be best friends! I am so happy that you don’t think bad of me because I am a Slytherin,” she looked down with a small smile. “You would be surprised how many people don’t want to talk because of my house. But not you!”

She gave Yuko a big hug in gratitude, she was so happy to have met her.
