Prologue: or The Assignment and the Train
"Negi Springfield," a deep voice boomed around Negi and Evangeline in an otherwise empty room. "Your mission at Mahora Academy is now over. It is time for your first assignment as a true wizard.
"You and your partner, Evangeline, will go undercover to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You are to apply for the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Evangeline, you will have to be a student."
Negi, still short for 15, looked rather puzzled as he inquired, "But why?"
"We have reason to believe that one of the inhabitants is endangering Europe. We need an informant on the inside," The voice reasoned.
"Very well," Evangeline nodded curtly. Even though she was currently cursed as a year younger than Negi, she still stood a head taller than him. "We'll do it."
"But, Eva! We don't kn-"
"You're not afraid of wizards, are you, Boya?" Eva taunted, glaring at him. Her gaze almost physically daring him to chicken out and say that, yes, he was afraid.
"No!" Negi retorted, chin jutting out. "It's just tha-"
"It's settled then!" Eva interrupted him, her voice final; "We're going."

"I can't believe you did a transport spell when we could have taken a plane," Negi complained two months later, facing the wide, glass doors of King's Cross Train Station, Eva by his side.
"Just because some of us have power and KNOW how to use it..." Eva remarked coolly. "Besides, I still don't understand how you actually got that job! I was hoping to steal it out from under you... but nooo..."
Negi grimaced at the mentioning of his job interview.
(flashback starts)
"Er- are you sure you wouldn't be better off as a student?"
"Positive, Sir."
"And, uh, what makes you think, Negi, that you could handle my students here at Hogwarts?"
'PLEASE STOP GLARING AT ME OVER THOSE HALF-MOON SPECTICALS WITH YOUR X-RAY BLUE EYES!' "At the age of ten, I successfully taught an all girls' eighth grade class!"
Professor Dumbledore had blinked slowly, causing Negi to cringe in anticipation, before he smiled brightly and proclaimed; "Well now! That should have been listed on your resume! I mean, that sort of experience will prepare you for any sort of challenge in life!
"Yes... welcome aboard, Professor Springfield! Classes start September first. But you can do defensive magic, correct?"
(flashback ends)
"Let's just get on the train, Eva," Negi suggested, ignoring her question about his new position. "We just have to run through the wall between platforms nine and ten."
"British wizards are insane," Eva said blankly, not moving as Negi continued forward.
Eva's pause caused Negi to turn around in order to respond, "Come now, Eva. You don't really mean that... besides, the term is mental."
"I'm serious!" Eva insisted in her bored tone. "Who in their right mind would want to run at a solid wall? It's absurd!"
"I think that's the point," Negi muttered, but Eva was already gliding towards the wall. "Wait for me!"
Both Negi and Eva couldn't help but gasp as they passed over onto platform nine and three-quarters. Sure, they were used to magic, but this? This was beyond their norm. Before them stood the magnificent, scarlet Hogwarts Express.
"Amazing!" Negi breathed before turning to Eva. "Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?"
Eva sniffled and pulled out a blood-red lollipop. "Speak for yourself."
Negi could have sworn that she heard her add softly, "I hate running!" before popping the candy into her mouth, but he knew better than to ask directly. Instead he proposed, "Let's find a compartment, shall we?"

Hermione Granger sat down opposite the empty seat between her two best friends, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. "Speaking of Summer Vacation, did I tell you two about how my sister is going to be attending Hogwarts this year, finally?"
"No," Ron stated, slightly surprised. "I thought you were an only child... so is she a firstie then?"
Hermione snorted. "No, Ronald... well, not a First Year anyway. Tisiphone and I are identical twins, so she's a fifth year student like we are."
"Identical twins?" Harry and Ron demanded in unison.
"Bloody hell, Harry!" Ron exclaimed excitedly as Hermione nodded in affirmation. "Two Hermiones..."
But Harry wasn't listening to Ron mutter, he was staring intently at Hermione, trying to figure out what she was saying. "So how the bloody hell is she starting school today?"
"She's transferring, "Hermione said simply.
"Transferring?" Ron demanded. "Transferring from where?"
"Yes transferring, honestly, Ronald... anyway, she's transferring from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic."
"Beauxbatons?" Ron looked as if he had died and gone to heaven.
"Oh, Ronald! Stop drooling! But yes, although she's not on the train, she's been at Hogwarts for a while now, trying to adjust to our courses and not appear to be as lost as a first year."
When Hermione mentioned that Tisiphone wasn't on the train, Ron stopped acting like a moron; pulled his head back into the train compartment and stopped searching for the second Hermione.
Hermione chuckled and stood up, "Come on, Ron, we've got to get up to the Prefect Compartment. See you later, Harry."
As Ron and Hermione left, Ron mouthed behind Hermione's back, "Two Hermiones!" while pointing to Hermione's back and pumping his fists. Harry couldn't help but laugh as Ginny, Neville and girl with long blonde hair entered his compartment. He could hear Ron pestering Hermione down the corridor.
"So! What house will she be in?"
"I don't know, Ronald! She'll have to be sorted like a first year, I suppose... Please grow up though! I'm afraid she might hurt you otherwise..."

Negi found an empty compartment at long last. Dragging Eva by the wrist, he closed the door and sealed it from prying ears so they wouldn't be overheard or bothered. What he didn't know about was the fact that the ever mischievous Weasley twins, Fred and George, had decided to test out their new and improved, cat proof, Extendable Ears on the new DADA teacher.
"Now, Eva," Negi started.
"Wicked, George!" Fred cheered quietly.
"Doesn't even know it's there! The sorry chap!" George agreed.
"Dumbledore really needs to stop hiring random blokes..."
"Shhh... listen, Fred!"
".. You really need to behave yourself while we're at Hogwarts. That means obeying all of your professors, INCLUDING me; doing all of your homework, even the stuff you don't want to do; and, most importantly, not biting ANY of your classmates!... or anyone else for that matter..."
"Biting?" Fred demanded.
George shrugged.
"If the other students learn that you're a vampire..."
"Vampire?!" George shouted, but Negi and Eva didn't hear him. Other students popped heads out of compartments to give him weird looks, but that was about the only response he got with his exclamation.
"But..." Eva whined.
"Eva!" Negi scolded. "Promise me!"
"Fine, but I'm still gonna bite you!"
Negi sighed, "If you must..."
"Bet'cha ten sickles he liiiikes that idea!" Fred smirked.
