Hogwarts had been more lively than usual lately. Posters about an upcoming Ball had nearly all the students acting funny around each other, a death-defying tournament was announced, a goblet lit with a swirling blue flame turned the Great Hall into a new hot spot, and unfamiliar faces were scattered about the school as Hogwarts hosted every Wizarding School for the upcoming events. All this and of course life as a student had to go on as well. It was safe to say Oliver was overwhelmed.
By mid day Sunday the young badger just couldn’t take being cooped up with the crowds any longer. He desperately need space and a breather from it all. Dressed in his standard school pants, and a black T-shirt with his broom in hand Oliver decided to head outside. The air was warm with a cool breeze coming off the nearby lake. A few clouds appeared still in the blue sky with a couple birds flying freely overhead. Oliver inhaled the fresh air and let out a relieved sigh. This was much more his pace.
He took a minute listening to the leaves rustle in the wind and inaccurately guessing the species of birds he heard chirping before making his way towards the Quidditch Pitch. “I wonder if anyone I know from Mahoutokoro is here..” He wondered out loud. Oliver attended Mahoutokoro at seven, but moved to England a year later. Even if he did know a student, would they even remember him? He wasn’t sure, but he remembered a few. Lost in thought, it wasn’t surprising that he tripped over a stick snapping him back to reality.

──────HIRO─BAKUGO───────────────────────────────────────
──────────────────────────────────── MAHOUTOKORO ──────────
| ── | It was the first full day Mahoutokoro students had at Hogwarts. Yesterday had been such a long trip that it had driven nearly everyone mad with boredom. Even if many didn't show it on the outside, on the inside they all were feeling the same. Now, refreshed from a good night's sleep, people were starting to explore the place and Hiro was no different. Hogwarts was a foreign school and that was awesome.
It meant it was filled with new people that he could meet and interact with, which was a great chance to make a nuisance of himself again. He'd spent the early morning tracking down where everyone was housed and trying to peer into the places. Sometimes he'd succeeded and other times it had ended in failure. Hiro still had to track down where Mathias had holed himself up, as it was on his to-do list. He always liked knowing where his roommate was. Then, he'd enjoyed a beautiful and tasty lunch in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. The view was actually awesome. The high ceilings, the transparent roof which allowed viewing of the afternoon sky, the magicked candles floating in the air, the portraits, fireplaces and long tables set out. It was quite different from Mahoutokoro. And now, Hiro was left to decide between exploring the castle while he was inside it, or going and exploring the surrounding areas around the castle. Like the Quidditch Pitch. Right, he hadn't gone there yet. As a first string beater, it was probably a good idea to do so. Hiro was dressed in comfortable but fashionable white pants and a long light pink shirt with long ties that hung loose off the top of the shirt. He also wore a white jacket-vest over the shirt. One lone earring dangled from his left earlobe with two round diamond jewels at the end. He'd left his robes back inside his room. The reason he'd dressed in fashionable clothes was because he was obsessed with it. He'd suffer weather issues for the sake of looking good and actually had gotten sick before, due to this choice. But that hadn't stopped him from doing this. Hiro wasn't going to the Quidditch Pitch to train or practice, he was going there to look it over ahead of time. To ensure he wasn't tempted to do so, he hadn't even brought his broom. At the moment, Hiro was using a school broom for all Quidditch practices. Mostly because he couldn't afford any other type of broom. Luckily, it seemed as if Mahoutokoro school brooms were slightly better than the school brooms of other schools. Perhaps it was because Japanese companies, businesses and schools took more time and care into preparing such items. Other countries didn't tend to do this and were only in it for the money they made, thus why their creations were slightly worse. Maybe that slight advantage would work. Hiro hoped that the Quidditch Club could one day pool their resources together and try and buy better brooms for its players. The better the broom, the more chances they had of winning as a team. He eventually decided on checking out the Quidditch Pitch and made his way up the mountainside to the aforementioned place. It was only when he got there that he realized someone else was there too. The person wasn't dressed in school robes, so he couldn't tell who it was. From the outline he didn't think it was anyone from Mahoutokoro, but he could be wrong. After all, he couldn't see the person's face from his current position. As he got closer, Hiro could see there was a broom in the person's hand and then the boy's words reached his ears. Mahoutokoro? Was he from Mahoutokoro? His brow furrowed as he reached the stranger before him. No, he didn't recognize him, and Hiro knew EVERYONE at Mahoutokoro. So if he wasn't from the school, who exactly was he to be saying those words? Did he know Japanese? It made sense. "You know someone from Mahoutokoro?" Hiro asked in Japanese. |

Towers decorated in colors representing the houses with flags perched on top flapping gently with the breeze was a sight that made the young badgers heart do a backflip. The Quidditch Pitch was the real second home to Oliver. Although he had no complaints about his dorm in the castle. The pitch, the roars forms the stands, a broom and the blue sky above was what he lived for. The sight of the pitch was enough to make all his worries melt away.
With a cheeky smile the Hufflepuff gripped his broom excitedly. Freedom He thought to himself as he started to creep forward, but froze in his track as a familiar language from a foreign voice spooked him. Oliver hoped whoever it was didn’t see him jump. Overcoming his embarrassment the boy turned around to see who was joining him.
“Yeah, sort of.. I use to go there” He replied also in Japanese.
It felt pretty weird for a moment speaking Japanese here in Hogwarts as not many of the students spoke it. Facing towards the taller male Oliver couldn’t help but feel something familiar about him. The extravagant clothing choice, dyed hair, and the cat-like eyes all felt oddly similar. It had been a while since he attended Mahoutokoro, but it never occurred to him how much a kid could change, especially at their age.
“Oliver..Simmons.” He introduced himself to the oddly familiar boy. If they went to school together the boy would surely remember him as not many students from Mahoutokoro had a British name. There was one student he faintly remembered with their ear pierced, but no…it couldn’t be..Hiro? He wondered silently, but didn’t want to guess wrong. He just hoped the person standing in front of him would confirm his thoughts.
Deep down Oliver hoped it was Hiro, he remembered him also being into Quidditch almost as much as he was.

Hiro did in fact see Oliver jump.
It was a rather imperceptible jump but considered a jump nonetheless.
A grin was flashed at the boy before him and Hiro moved closer to Oliver. He was surprised to hear the other speak in Japanese to him as well and wondered how he'd learned the language. There were only two possibilities. Well, three. 1, he'd gone to Mahoutokoro before but had transferred out before Hiro had arrived at the school. Or maybe he'd graduated ahead of time. 2, he'd never been to Mahoutokoro but had lived in Japan sometime before.
Therefore, he knew the language. Or 3, he just liked learning languages and Japanese happened to be one of them. It was only when Oliver said his name that Hiro's brow furrowed a little. Wait, that name was familiar. He never forgot a name, courtesy of his awesome memory skills. But it had been a long time ago. So dredging those names back up might take a few seconds. It took a minute actually but then the memory returned. He did know him.
"Ah! You transferred away after a year! I remember you now!" Hiro exclaimed.
He grinned at him.
"It's Hiro. Don't you remember me?" He asked.
Then again, they'd only shared a year together back in the past.
Perhaps Oliver didn't remember him that well.
"What are you doing here? Is this where you transferred to?" Hiro asked with a smile and closed the short distance between them to place a hand on Oliver's shoulder.

A burst of excitement shot through Oliver as the boy confirmed his thoughts. He couldn’t help but return the grin the boy was giving him. It had been years since they last seen each other, but Oliver always remembered fellow Quidditch enthusiasts. Seeing a familiar face at Hogwarts was actually refreshing for the Badger. He was still very shy around the kids at Hogwarts, but he knew Hiro.
“Of course, Hiro...Bakugo. Right?”
He said snapping his fingers as he tried to recall the last name. He impressed himself with that memory recollection seeing as he struggles with recalling any classes from the same day. “Yeah, my dad got a new job in England with Dragons.” Oliver explained as Hiro closed the distance between the two.
“It’s good to see you though! How’s Mahoutokoro? How are you liking Hogwarts?” Oliver unloaded a barrage of question, but quickly felt embarrassed. “Uhh sorry..It’s been a while” He laughed and gave a cheeky grin. It's been roughly two years, and the two had much to catch up on.
Even though Oliver really wanted to get on the topic of Quidditch he didn’t want to keep hounding Hiro with questions off the get go. I’ll make small talk first. He thought to himself as he quietly planned asking him if he wanted to have a fly around. That is why he ventured out here after all. Even though he won't complain running into an old friend.

It seemed like Oliver remembered him too.
Well, that was nice.
When Oliver spoke his name, including his surname it proved he really did remember him.
"Ahh, I see." Hiro said as Oliver told him why he'd transferred. "Yeah, it's good to see you too. It's always nice to see a familiar face." He agreed and grinned when asked how he liked Mahoutokoro and Hogwarts. "Mahou is pretty fun, the classes are interesting and I like to research a lot, so my studies are going really well. I'm already a purple robe but I'm aiming to make them turn navy blue sometime soon. Hopefully, I can accomplish it within a year's time." Hiro told him with a nod.
He'd let Oliver know his current goals only because he'd known him before.
"Hogwarts... well it kind of has this mystical glow and energy about it, doesn't it? It seems awesome." Hiro said, expressing his interest in the place.
"What about you? How are you doing at Hogwarts? I hear it has four different Houses or something inside Hogwarts, right? What are those? What one are you in?" Hiro asked, curious. Mahoutokoro students didn't have any separation between students. Other than higher-years being on a different floor than other years. But Hogwarts appeared to be quite different in that regard, which intrigued him. So, what did Oliver think?

Oliver listened attentively as Hiro talked about his goals, and only interrupted to express his awe at Hiro’s academic level. “That’s amazing, I’m sure you can do it!” The Hufflepuff encouraged his old friend. The school aspect of Hogwarts was something a daydreamer like Oliver struggled with.
“The place is amazing” He said with a nod agreeing with Hiro on the atmosphere of the school
“The castle takes some getting used to. The main staircase has a mind of its' own and constantly moves.” Oliver explain with a slight laugh as he tried to explain to Hiro. “There’s a bunch of secret passageways too, but I only know of two.” He added excitedly hoping that would peak the boys interest. “ Perhaps I could show you the one leading the to kitchen while you’re here.” He said with a devilish grin.
Before continuing on, Ollie took a seat on the grassy hill and let go of his broom. “I'm in Hufflepuff!” He finally chirped. “We’re the ones usually wearing yellow.” He explained as he lifted up his pant leg exposing his house socks. They were long black socks with yellow lining at the top and the yellow badge with a badger sitting proudly in the middle. “There’s Slytherin in green, Gryffindor in red, and Ravenclaw in blue.” He paused for a second to study Hiro’s expression to make sure he was following along.
“You get sorted into each house by a talking hat.” He passed again to see how Hiro would react to that. Oliver found that part entertaining, and remembered it fondly. “Each house kind of competes against each other academically, and each house has a dueling, and Quidditch team. I personally hope to make the Quidditch team.” Oliver explained and also told Hiro about his goal. It was only fair since he had done the same.

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | Hiro nodded at Oliver's words. "It's quite a feat to achieve. I worked really hard on making my robes change color." Hiro told him. It wasn't as if they'd changed yet into that navy blue he was aiming for but Hiro knew it was only a matter of time. And then he'd work on eventually making them turn into that lovely shade of gold, even if it was just for a brief period of time. Perhaps if he managed to do that, his parents would look upon him with an emotion that wasn't disappointment, annoyance or disgust, although the latter was rare. Most of the time the general emotion was being distant or completely ignoring his existence. "Really? I'll have to check it out!" Hiro exclaimed with a little grin. Moving staircases sounded like fun to him. It implied there was a bit of a mystery within the walls of the castle. "Are they all like that, or just some staircases in general?" He asked, curious. "Secret passageways? I'm totally there. Want to show me sometime?" Hiro said, smiling at the other boy and nodded when he spoke about the kitchen. "You gonna steal some food from the house elves or something?" He asked, knowing that house elves usually worked in the kitchens. Hufflepuff. An odd name. Yellow colors? Well, that was really nice! Yellow reminded him of gold. And gold reminded him of gold robes. So, yellow was definitely a color Hiro liked a lot. Hufflepuff was great! Perhaps even the BEST House! Hiro nodded as Oliver went on to explain the colors of all the Houses Hogwarts offered to its students. "I think I'd like Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw the most. Yellow and blue are good colors." He said, attributing the colors to the robe colors of Mahoutokoro. "You know why they chose those specific colors? Why not do pink and purple instead of red and green?" Hiro asked, curious as to the color choices. Oliver spoke of being sorted by a talking Hat and the boy nodded. Hiro had heard about that before. He'd been surprised to say the least, as this was quite different from Mahou. "Ahhh, yes. I heard other students talk about that but I didn't really get it at the time." Hiro told him. "It's a sentient hat, right? I must say I'm rather intrigued to see how it works. But I don't think I'd get a chance to see, would I?" Hiro asked as he looked over at Oliver. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────
