An Adventure to the Past

(Sesshoumaru’s POV)



The past two months had been bleak without Harri, Rin had quietly accepted her need to practice meditation in order to master her magic. ‘I miss her,’ was the only thought that really reached me at this moment.



-Of course you do. You have fallen in love with her. - My beast, surprisingly, replied.



‘But she is a human!’ I protested instantly before a familiar scent reached my nose.



(Author’s POV)



Sesshoumaru turned in the direction of the rapidly approaching familiar scent and took a deep breath before sighing inwardly in contentment as the owner of the scent of freshly crushed mint came in to view. Surprisingly there was another with her. This one had the masculine scent of crushed pine needles.



“Harri!” Rin squealed as she barreled into Harri’s legs the moment she saw her and her companion emerge from the tree line. “Who is with you?”



“This is Draco Malfoy. Draco this is Rin, Sesshoumaru, Jaken, and AhUn.” Harri said with a grin that was directed at Draco causing Sesshoumaru to feel a pang of jealousy.



“Nice to meet you mister, are you going to travel with us too?” Rin asked babbling at a mile a minute.



Harri nodded with a giggle and made her way to Sesshoumaru’s side leaving Draco to answer Rin’s questions by himself. “Has she been meditating while I was at school?”



“Without complaint, I thought your school didn’t let out for another seven moon cycles.” Sesshoumaru replied curious to know why Harri was here and not at her school before the allotted time to come back to this time arrived.



“The newspapers were driving me crazy by making the other students believe I was trying to become the new dark lady.” Harri replied with a dark scowl Sesshoumaru knew as not directed at him.



“I wouldn’t be surprised if you were!” Jaken squawked.



Draco rounded on Jaken, “If there is one thing I have learned about Harri is that Harri is not power hungry. Insult her again and you will find yourself at the wrong end of my wand!” Draco growled this as his hand went to the holster of his wand attached to his hip.



Jaken shivered at the cold look in the blonde’s eyes. “Yes sir.” Jaken muttered.



Sesshoumaru smirked as he watched the blonde order Jaken around before turning to look for Harri and spotting her with Rin leaning against AhUn. “Are you going to teach me a spell? I’ve been really good. I meditated every night since you left.” Rin chirped as she bounced in place.



“Well show me how far you have gotten so I may judge your reserves, but even then I cannot teach you as you are far too young for you reserves to be able to handle a casting a spell.”



Draco stood off to the right against a cherry tree that had not finished shedding its blossoms snickering. “My, my, my Harri, those ‘secret’ lessons of your Defense Association did you good in teaching you patience.” This was said with a smirk firmly planted on Draco’s face.



Harri rolled her eyes but said nothing as she did not deem that statement as worthy of an answer. Turning her head to the meditating Rin Harri let a smile slip onto her face. Shaking Rin out of her trance Harri spoke, “Congratulations Rin, since you are doing well I have a treat for you since you cannot cast spells. Draco will teach you potions while I teach you theory, right Draco?” Harri interrupted before Draco could protest.



Draco sighed but nodded his assent. “Al right, my lessons will begin an hour after Harri’s end so that you wont be too tired to concentrate on mine.”



Rin, who had been about to protest, nodded in acceptance of Draco’s explanation, “Alright, so Harri can we begin with the theory now?”
