A/N: This is a joint penname. Both of us already have personal pennames, and have written a handful of things. We made this penname up about four months ago, and only just started to actually write something. This was the result. Neither of us is entirely sane, mind you, our friends are the cause of this (at least for the most part). You have been warned.

Chapter 1: Of Meetings and Pending Torture

Aizen and Gin were silent as they walked up the path to Malfoy Manor; Aizen with a posture befitting his self-proclaimed "god" title, whereas Gin approached with a predatory slouch, a small grin spread sinisterly on his face.

A cloaked figure, with the Death Eater's mask covering his face walked forward. He bowed lowly and pulled the mask off, straightening. The hooked nose became visible, though the rest of his face remained in shadows. "Aizen-sama, and Ichimaru-sama?"

Aizen gave a slight nod, and said nothing.

Snape was silent again, and he turned, leading them into Malfoy Manor and through the halls. They came to the dining room, where Snape opened the door for the two former Shinigami, and stepped aside, allowing them in.

Voldemort sat at the head of the table; Nagini curled on the floor below him as though sleeping. "Ah, hello, Aizen-sama; Ichimaru-sama. Are the grounds to your liking?"

Aizen gave another nod.

Gin smirked some as he straightened a little. "More color than in Las Noches," he spoke and crossed his arms.

Voldemort nodded. "Please sit down. Makes yourselves comfortable." He smirked. "We have much to discuss."

"WHAT?!"

All of those attending the meeting turned to face the irate form of the short, white haired Tenth Division Captain, Hitsugaya Toshirou. He had risen to his feet and the temperature in the room had dropped dangerously.

Seething, he glared at Yamamoto, imagining multiple tortures he could perform on the sou-taichou, one of which consisted of freezing him and throwing him in a lake.

"Hitsugaya?" Yamamoto asked.

Once again the white-haired captain shouted his inquiry of, "What!?"

"I shall not repeat myself," The First Division Captain told him.

"I am not going to the Living World, and I am not going to be a student again!" he growled.

Hinamori and Matsumoto poked him from either side. "Oh, Shirou," Hinamori said with a pointed shiver.

Hitsugaya growled again but the temperature returned to a more suitably level. "I'm not," he said angrily.

The sou-taichou looked at him evenly. "You are. You are one of the most suited for the job. You are going to be a student at Hogwarts and that's final."

--

The call had come almost an hour ago. "Attention all Captains and Vice-Captains. An emergency meeting has been called. All must attend. Zaraki, this means you."

--

Zaraki had grudgingly attended. Yachiru had come, riding on his shoulder and Ikkaku and Yumichika had tagged along as well. Upon their arrival they had found not only the Captains and Vices, but also the ryoka, Rukia Kuchiki and the banished Yoruichi and Urahara.

Yamamoto had started the meeting almost immediately. "Aizen and Gin have made a powerful ally. They have joined forces with a man who calls himself, 'Lord Voldemort'. He is not a Shinigami, nor Hollow, but a different yet equally powerful being called a wizard." A few members shared confused glances.

"I have been communicating," he continued, ignoring them, "with a man called Albus Dumbledore. He is a very knowledgeable and strong wizard himself. He runs a school called Hogwarts-" a few snickers echoed through the room, "-which teaches students how to use magi. A few Captains will be teaching there, to instruct these magic wielders in Kidou, Hoho, Hakudo, and Zanjetsu. Kuchiki Byakuya, Soi Fon, and Ukitake Juushirou will do this. You will take the place of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." The named Captains nodded.

Yamamoto continued. "Some of those present will join the school undercover. These students will be Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji, Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Uryuu, Inoue Orihime, Madarame Ikkaku, Ayesegawa Yumichika, Matsumoto Rangiku, and Hitsugaya Toshirou."

This comment led to Hitsugaya's rather violent outburst, which takes us to current time.

--

"You are going to be a student at Hogwarts and that's final." Yamamoto told him. "Now sit down."

Hitsugaya did so, albeit pouting. Yachiru, from her spot on Zaraki's shoulder giggled. "Shirou's acting like a little kid."

He turned to her. "I am not acting-" he cut himself off, realizing that she had a point.

The First Division Captain attempted to ignore this. "The term starts in 3 days. I suggest you all pack your belongings. More detailed instructions will be given to you tomorrow. Keep in mind; this is an undercover mission. Do not reveal yourselves unless it is entirely necessary. You will take the public mode of transportation to the school along with the other students. Upon your arrival Professor Dumbledore will greet you and provide you with school supplies. That is all for now. You are dismissed."

Those attending the meeting rose to their feet, muttering to themselves as they did so. "A student…. A student…I don't want to be a student." Hitsugaya mumbled to himself.

"Aww..." Matsumoto cooed and chuckled. "Taichou's throwing a tantrum."

Hitsugaya slapped his subordinate on the back of her head. ""You have to be one too, remember?" he reminded her,

His Vice-Captain grinned. "I know," she replied. "I bet I'll look wonderful in the uniforms."

Ichigo meanwhile found something else to grumble about. "Byakuya's teaching us?" he muttered to Renji. "This'll be fun."

Rukia overheard this and cuffed him. "Shut up. I bet O-nii-sama will be a wonderful teacher."

Just as Zaraki was about to leave Yamamoto called out to him. Zaraki growled but walked back over to the sou-taichou.

"I've got a special assignment for you, Zaraki." Yamamoto told him.
