It had been five years since Negi had saved Mundus Magicus. Since then, he had freed Evangeline from the Infernus Scholacticus ' curse, gone back to Wales, made a permanent pactio with Anya, and then became a Magister Magi. Konoka Konoe had also healed all of the villagers that had been petrified.
Now, he was sitting on a couch in his living room reading a report on how "Project: Blue Mars" was going when, suddenly, a big, brown and white barn owl flew in through an open window. It proceeded to drop a letter in his lap before leaving through the same window.
"An owl? Why would someone send me a letter by owl instead of the mail?" Negi wondered as he opened the letter.
On the back of the envelope was the seal of the Headmaster of Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Anya! Come look at this!" Negi called out.
Anya arrived soon after.
"What is it?" Anya asked.
"Here, read this." Negi said, handing her the letter.
Anya read it out loud:
Dear Mr. Springfield,
I am introducing a new class here at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that will teach the students elemental magic, also known as mage magic. The name of said class is Elemental Magic and Magecraft. I would like you to be the first professor of this class, as you have prior experience teaching and are a Magister Magi. Please meet me at the Leaky Cauldron two days from now at two in the afternoon to tell me your answer. Thank You.
Yours Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
"Are you going to accept, Negi?" Anya asked.
"Yeah. All I've been doing lately is making sure everything goes as planned. I could use a break. And besides, it sounds fun." Negi smiled.
Anya blushed lightly as she responded, "Guess I'll see you in a year then."
"What do you mean? You're coming with me aren't you? After all, you are my Ministra Magi." Negi said, confused.
"We'll ask at the Leaky Cauldron and make sure you can accompany me."
Two days later, Negi and Anya were sitting in the Leaky Cauldron waiting for Dumbledore. Five 'till two, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in the Leaky Cauldron. After looking around for a moment, he spotted Negi and Anya sitting at a table in the corner drinking Butterbeer.
"Would I be correct in assuming that you are Mr. Negi Springfield?" he asked when he got to their table.
"Yes, you would be correct. And you would be Albus Dumbledore." Negi replied, "And this is my Ministra Magi, Anya Cocolova."
"It is nice to finally meet you. Now, do you accept the position as a teacher for the new class?" questioned Dumbledore.
"Yes, but on one condition."
"And what would that be?"
"That Anya be allowed to accompany me."
"Yes, my boy. She can come!" At this, Anya's face brightened up considerably. "I assumed she would when I sent you the letter." Dumbledore continued.
"Alright then. When do we need to be at Hogwarts?" Negi asked in conclusion.
"I would request that yo be there a week before the students arrive. That way, you can learn your way around." was Dumbledore's response.
"Very well. We will see you again in a month." Negi responded as he and Anya stood up and left, having already paid for their drinks.
The one month went by rather quickly. Anya and Negi had said their good-byes to Nekane, Stan, and the Magus and were now riding in a carriage heading towards Hogwarts. Negi had just finished telling Anya about the Thestrals pulling their carriage when they stopped in front of the Hogwarts gates. AS they got out they saw Professor Dumbledore standing in front of the giant double doors leading into the castle itself, along with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.
"Hello, Professor Dumbledore. As you requested, we are here a week before the students arrive." Negi greeted.
"Yes, yes. Thank you. Why don't you come on in." Dumbledore suggested as he walked into Hogwarts.
"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, this is Negi Springfield. He will be teaching the Elemental Magic and Magecraft class. Please show around during the next week." Dumbledore said.
"And who is the young woman?" McGonagall asked, glancing back at Anya.
"My name is Anna Cocolova, ma'am. Please call me Anya. I'm Negi's Ministra Magi." Anya introduced herself, not noticing the confused looks and McGonagall and Snape's face when she mentioned Ministra Magi.
As Dumbledore showed them to their rooms, they discussed the differences between the two types of magic.
A week later, the students arrived. All the teachers plus Anya were sitting at the head table. After a short wait, all the first years came in. They all took turns being sorted into their Houses when their name was called. During this, it was relatively quiet, save the cheers from a table when someone got sorted.
McGonagall then called one name, "Potter, Harry!"
As she did, a boy with black hair and green eyes framed by glasses walked up and sat on the stool. All the while, people were constantly whispering back and forth.
"Why is everyone so excited?" Anya asked Negi.
"I'll explain in detail later, but basically, ten years ago, when Harry Potter was a baby, he somehow defeated the most feared wizard alive." Negi responded.
"What do you mean 'somehow defeated'? He was a baby!"
"I'll explain later. He's been sorted into Gryfindor by the way." Negi said as the Headmaster stood up.
"Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"
As Dumbledore sat down, food appeared on the tables. After a while, everyone had finished eating and the deserts disappeared. Dumbledore stood up to make announcements: staying out of the forest, magic shouldn't be used in the corridors, and so on. He also said not to go into the third floor corridor. He then got to the final announcements.
"This year, we will introduce a new class. It is Elemental Magic and Magecraft and will be taught by Professor Negi Springfield."
When this was announced, Negi stood up so everyone could see him. He was about six feet tall with dark red hair and dark brown hair underneath the red hair and reddish-brown eyes. He kept his hair in a ponytail and was wearing a black suit jacket and matching pants, with a white button-up shirt underneath that and a black tie.
"As he will be teaching a new type of magic, this class is mandatory for everyone in their second year and above and for first years for two years. Now, off to bed. Firs years, follow your seniors in the House you were sorted into. Good night." Dumbledore finished.
Authors Notes: I'll try to update every week, but no promises. I tend to get caught up playing Empire: Total War, so I'll have several chapters done, just not typed up. If I get reviews it will make me update faster. I've written a Naruto story before, but stopped. I don't plan on stopping this story. This story was inspired by several other Negima!/ Harry Potter crossovers that I have had the pleasure of reading. Enjoy.
