A/N: Ok, new story and new things I'm doing. Anyways, don't ask me why I did a crossover with final fantasy 7 and 8(don't feel like putting up roman numerals) but it was stuck in my head for the longest time and maybe a few from Saiyuki haven't decided yet but I'll put a warning anyways. so enjoy the story as much as you guys can. Love is so beautiful when it doesn't happen to me. !!!
Disclaimer: All HP, FF, and Saiyuki characters belong to either to Square Enix, JK Rowling, or Kazuya Minekura. I don't anything and being a poor college student doesn't help any, really, it doesn't so why would you ever bother with my poor ass.
PS. Flamers are unwelcome and hated for all those bad things they say just to annoy the crap out of me. So if you wish not to be cursed by a Santa Marie priest or witch, people get it mixed down here then leave me the hell alone. so, with that said enjoy the story.
Chapter 1
Cid Kramer, principal of the Four Fathers Military School of Magic, sat drinking his cup of tea in the peace of his office at the very same school he was head of. Vice principal, Rufus Shinra, drank his black coffee as scattered documents were left unnoticed on the desk before the two.
Cid sighed happily as nothing too serious happened during the last school year. It was relatively quiet and he was more than happy to relish in his happiness. The problem weren't the cadets, no they knew better than do something stupid. It was the teachers that taught those very same cadets. It was two pairs of couples that saw fit to make the most trouble in his school but he was glad that something wasn't blown up or anyone needs serious medical attention.
Rufus let a small smile reach the corners of his mouth as he noticed Cid's contented mood. He knew the four people that caused the most trouble, and damage, were a bit more calmed this past year since any of their school days. He figured that it was that one other person's problems that had put everyone on alert.
"Do you think it was a fluke Cid?" Rufus asked with a calculating look.
Cid scoffed at the simple notion that anything that happened in their school was a fluke.
"Hardly, Strife and Leonhart both are far too subtle that it doesn't affect the school that much. It's that girl and their lovers that cause all this damned trouble all the time. Why she is still here I don't know. She isn't on the staff roster and yet it's been three years since she graduated." Cid sighed before he took a sip of tea. "I'm just glad no one lost a limb this time."
Rufus smirked at the information. "Yes, Almasy is a unique character but I've know Sephroith since my early teen years, and I did attend with Strife, Leonhart and Almasy on top of all that. I was slightly surprised that Sephroith even proposed to strife two years ago. The girl, well there nothing we can really do now can we."
Cid glared at nothing in particular.
"Well, she is a big problem but Almasy makes her into a demon. And for those two, they seem made for each other. Now, Leonhart and Almasy on the other hand have been out for blood since before they came here. No detention record can match theirs, they at least an hour everyday through out all of their schooling here."
Rufus laughed at the last statement and it was true. Every time school was let out he would ask Leonhart to join him and the others and all the brunette said was 'detention' and that was that. Also, the fact that Almasy, Leonhart, along with a few other staff members, came from the same orphanage.
Cid gave Rufus a look that said many things before going back to his tea. Once Rufus had calmed he drank more of his slightly cooled coffee and looked over at the desk. There was a lot to do even if it was the beginning of the summer but they liked to get it done before he and Cid went their separate ways.
"We're over staffed."
Cid set his tea down with a glare at the younger vice principal.
"What do you mean Rufus?"
"We hired tow to four new employees to handle the load of growing student body two years ago. Yet, since Alistair put that new school past dragon lane we have too many teachers."
Rufus picked up a folder on the table and handing it over to Cid. Cid looked through the folder frowning at the list of staff members. He lifted his eyes to the blonde's.
"It would be a shame to lose such fresh talent."
"We have no choice sir."
"Yes, I know."
Just then a tapping on the window brought the two out of their pensive silence. They both looked towards the window and on the sill outside were a barn owl with a letter attached to its leg. Rufus cocked his head to the sided as the owl hooted for entry. After waiting longer the owl tapped the window again with an indigent look.
"No one uses owls anymore. I wonder where it came from." Cid said waving a hand in Rufus's direction.
The vice principal glared at the principal as he stood to let the owl in. it flew in and landed on Cid's desk.
"Why can't people email me?"
"It's probably from Europe, sir. You know how slow with technology they are."
Cid scoffed at the comment while removing the letter attached to owl's leg. The writing on the front was female and his name was spelled out in neat red letters. He flipped it over to see a seal he hadn't seen in years.
"Hogwarts." Cid said breaking the seal, which was the coat of arms of Hogwarts.
"Hogwarts, sir?" Rufus asked while pushing his hand through his hair.
"A magical school in Scotland, it been around for a few centuries. A castle turned into a school, Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizarding. Its been remolded about twenty times in the last few centuries." Cid rambled waving his hand with the letter.
He unfolded the parchment and read the smooth lines that were down by the female whom wrote his name. He frowned by half way through the letter.
"What is it Cid?" Rufus asked leaning back with a pensive look. The look on Cid's face usually meant trouble for him and that's what bothered him the most.
"Recently appointed Headmistress Minerva McGonagall is requesting a few teachers." Cid said rereading the letter. "And a temporary deputy till a proper one is found."
Rufus smirked as the information formed an idea in his head. Is it was one thing Rufus could do was take full advantage of anything that comes his way no matter the situation.
"We could send some of the more experienced teachers. All the new teachers can gain their experience here and transfer next year."
Cid looked over at Rufus for a few second before smirking at his vice principal.
"Yes and your going to look after them."
Rufus smiled at the words.
"Of course…not." Blue eyes glared at the portly man before him. "I refuse to go across a damned ocean to appease your sick sense of humor Kramer."
Cid smirked at the sarcasm laced over each and every word spoken to him. This was why he had hired the younger blonde. He was blunt, intelligent and actually knew what to do in even the worst kind of situation. It was times like these where Cid needed Rufus away for something he knew he wouldn't be able to handle.
"You will go and you're taking Sephroith, Strife, Leonhart, Almasy, Trepe, Dincht, Kinneas, that girl Kinneas is engaged to, and Valentine and his lover. Not bad I would say."
Rufus was the epitome of undignified at that moment. All the people Cid had listed were either former school mates or he was taught by that person. His jaw was wide open from shock and after the indicial shock he glared at the older man.
"Why them? What's going on in Europe?"
Cid sighed putting the letter before Rufus. Rufus straighten his tie and pushed his hair back before lifting the parchment. He read it twice to make sure he understood the contents right and the main reason why he was going with the group Kramer told him to take.
"Fine, but why are Valentine, his love and Kinneas going?"
"Extra help, Shinra." Cid leaned forward. "You're going to need it"
Shinra glared at his employer but said nothing. He had a feeling he was going to need the help. He was glad that girl wasn't going.
"Take her too."
"What!? Shit, no!"
