Chapter 02: After Class

"Well that could've gone a whole lot better." Harry sighed, holding the bag of ice to his eye. After he and Negi left the class, the two of them near the statue of Mahora.

Negi nodded, still feeling down. "We failed our first lessons. We better talk to Takamichi about it…."

"Don't worry. I will." Harry said, looking at Negi. "I hope this won't discourage you from your training Negi."

Negi shook his head. "It was only one day. The rest of the days can't be as bad." He then open his rosters. "But still, what's with that girl's attitude? She was so mean!"

"Asuna?" Harry rhetorically asked. He sighed. "Yeah, she can be a bit hot tempered at times. But really, she can be a nice person to those she care about."

"I'm sorry, but I'm a bit skeptical of that." Negi said honestly. Harry shrugged.

"I don't really blame you for that." Harry said before getting up. "I'm going to find Takamichi. Talk to him about some magical business. Think you'll be okay by yourself for a bit?"

Negi nodded. "I will. And, thank you Harry-san, for helping me throughout the day."

"Of course. No need to thank me for that." Harry smiled and ruffled Negi's hair, despite the boy's slight protest. "If you need at anytime, just asks. My door is open to all my friends and colleagues."

With that, Harry left to find Takamichi. As Harry left, Negi thought about his fellow teacher. He's really glad that Harry is helping him. If he wasn't there, then Asuna would've continue shaking and demanding answer from him. And the ways he stopped those pranks, without any obvious magic, was amazing.

But still, the name sounds very familiar to him. Like he had heard it before. But when? And why does it sound familiar?

(Minutes Later)

Soon, Harry found Takamichi and he relayed all that happened at Class 2A today. "Wow, sounds like you two had it rough." Takamichi stated with a chuckle. "I had hope that those girls wouldn't give you two too much trouble, but I underestimate Ayaka's and Asuna's tendencies to get into fight."

"You got that right." Harry agreed with a small laugh of his own. "I hope I don't end up with worse injuries other than this eye."

"I hope so too." Takamichi agreed, putting his hands inside his pocket. "How's Negi doing?"

Harry sighed and shrugged. "As well as you can expected." Harry responded, getting a sad smile from the older man. "But he won't give up. It's just the first day, so we won't quit after just one bad day."

"Glad to hear it." The two suddenly heard a slight scream, causing the two to become alert. "What was that?"

"It sounded like Asuna." The two went over to where the scream resonated, having several guesses as to what had happened.

The last thing they would think to see was half naked Asuna in front of Negi. The four was silent, not knowing what to say. Finally, Harry spoke. "Did we interrupt something here?"

Asuna teared up in embarrassment at what transpired before she let out a ear piercing scream.

(Minutes Later)

"So you save Nodoka using your magic, Asuna saw and found out you're a mage. You tried to erase her memories, but instead erase most of her clothes. Sounds about right?" Harry summarized what Negi told him. In the background, Asuna is crying and slamming her fist on the ground about Takahata seeing her panties.

"Yes. That's about right." Negi confirmed with a nod. Harry place his fingers on his forehead, feeling a migraine coming up.

"And this day is just getting better and better." Harry drawled sarcastically. That's when Asuna stopped her pity party and grabbed Negi by the helm of his shirt, again. 'That is starting to become a habit for her with Negi.'

"Why did you come all the way here Negi?" Asuna growled menacingly. "And do not say that it's to ruin every day of my life!"

"No, it's nothing like that!" Negi protested, shaking his head wildly. "I'm for training to become a great mage!"

Asuna blinked. "Huh?"

"Allow me to explain Asuna." Harry stepped in, forcing Asuna to put Negi down. "The work of mages in the regular world is to assist people without exposing magic. It's one of the most respecting jobs of mages. A non-government organization. Right now, Negi and I have probationary licenses, though I have more freedom than those with these licenses."

"And see." Asuna said, getting what Harry is telling her. "And what would happen if you get exposed as a mage?"

Negi started shaking at that. "On top of losing my license, I'd have to go home! If it's really bad, they'll turn you into an ermine!"

"So as a favor for us, please don't reveal the secret." Harry asked Asuna, giving her a polite smile. "Otherwise, well, there are other means to erase your memories other than magic." Asuna's felt a chill go up her spine at the threatening tone in his voice, beneath that smile.

"F-Fine!" Asuna agreed, knowing not to tempt fate and try to blackmail Harry. "But since your jobs are to help people, how about you help me out?"

Negi looked plain confused while Harry gave her a deadpan look. "This is about Takamichi, isn't it?" He asked rhetorically. He sighed. "All right. Explain."

(School Building)

As Harry and Negi listened to what Asuna wanted them to do for her, Asuna went to drop off the things in her bag to the school lunchroom. "Don't you think you're overreacting Asuna?" Harry pointed out to Asuna. "You can't take a prediction to heart, and besides, Takamichi isn't one to avoid somebody just because he saw you at the wrong time."

"Still, I want to be absolutely sure that you two didn't ruin the relationship between me and Takahata-sensei!" Asuna argued. "What kind of magic can you guys use anyway?"

Negi put a finger on his chin. "Not much. I'm still a mage in training."

"Don't look at me either." Harry told her when he saw her eyes on him. "I don't know any spells that could help with the situation you're talking about, unless I resort to memory spells. And I only use those for emergencies."

"But this is-"

"Don't finish that sentence. You know that isn't gonna work on me." Harry deadpanned. Asuna grunted at that before trying to to think of something. Then an idea came up to her idea.

"How about a love potion?" Asuna suggested to the two.

Harry shook his head. "Even if we knew how to, a majority of love potions are illegal. Besides, I doubt you want a fake love from Takahata and that's what it is." Asuna frowned. He got a point there.

"Oh, I know! How about a money tree?"

"If those exist, half of the population wouldn't even need jobs." Harry deadpanned. No wonder Asuna is Baka-Red.

Negi looked down. "Sorry we can't be much helped to you. The only thing I could think of that might help is mind reading, and I don't think…."

"That's it!" Asuna shouted, making Negi jump a little while Harry merely raise an eyebrow. "You could use that to find out how Takahata-sensei feel about me!"

"Isn't that an invasion of privacy?"

"Details!" Asuna brushed off, making Harry sighed. This isn't going to end well, he can tell already. "Alright, let's try it out! But first, let's something to eat. Not sure about you two, but I'm starving."

The two mages nodded. Asuna open the door to the lunch room, and just as she did that, they were welcomed with many confettis blowing up in their faces. "Welcome and congratulation, Negi and Harry-sensei."

Asuna's and Negi's eyes widen, not expecting this. Even Harry was surprise, and the boy doesn't get surprise often. "Um, what's all this?" Harry asked, shocked at what he's seeing.

"It's a party for the two of you becoming teachers." Konoka explained to Harry. "We felt bad about how class was for you and Negi, so we decided to throw a party for the two."

"Oh, that's right! I totally spaced!" Asuna suddenly said, gaining the two boys' attention. "I was suppose to bring these supplies before you guys could come over here!"

Harry looked at everything in shocked, not expecting for something like this to happen to him. But a small smile gradually appeared on his lip. Even after several months of being with these girls, they always find a way to surprise him. It felt like his fifteenth birthday all over again, when most of the girls and Shizune prepared a surprise party for him. His first birthday party ever.

"Come on you two, since the two of you are the guests of honor, the both of you get to sit in the middle!" Kazumi stated, dragging Harry and Negi to the middle of the table. Harry chuckled and sat down while Negi smiled happily at what transpired.

"Thanks you so much girls! I never expected this!" Negi took a sip of the drink been given to him, but then coughed it up in disgust. "Bleh! What is that?"

"Hot-cola." Yue answered. "One of the new drinks I wanted to test new."

"Yue, our teachers aren't experiment for your disgusting drinks!"

The girls than began conversing with the two boys. Negi tried out some pork buns, given to him by Chao and Satsuki. Then they watched several performances from the girls, ranging from chinese martial arts to a small choir. Negi was amazed at all that was happening while Harry merely look at all this with a small smile.

Soon, Harry decided to move out and have a bit time to himself to reflect. The smile didn't left his lip. He really should've expected something like this would happen. Considering how sad Negi was, and the fact many of the girls loved the kid at first site, he should've seen this coming.

"Want some company?" Harry turn his head to see Mana beside him.

He shrugged. "Sure. I don't mind." She join his side at the wall, handing him a cup of soda. "Thanks." The two then stayed in silence, enjoying each other's company silently. Discreetly, Mana took a hold of his hands.

The two of them worked together on various missions for Mahora. Harry didn't want to accept charity from the Dean, not wanting to be a bother, so he took this job due to his combat experience from his travels. Because of this, he worked with Mana several times, as well as Setsuna.

"Sorry about the mess you and Negi-sensei got in." Mana told him, breaking the silence between them. "Though Asuna and Ayaka caused the majority of it."

"I still feel the bruise as proof." Harry muttered, getting Mana to smirk at him. "Well, at least Ayaka apologized to us, though the bronze statue was a bit much." Mana chuckled and nodded in agreement. "I'm glad the girls decided to do this party, to help cheer Negi up."

"You don't think it's for you as well?" Mana questioned him with an raised eyebrow. "They did say both of your names."

Harry shook his head. "Nah. Not only is it Negi's first day at Mahora, but many of the girls seem to love him at first glance. Adding me is just being nice." Mana rolled her eyes. Harry still have a hard time accepting that people could do nice things for him. Even in his birthday, of all things, he have a hard time accepting that fact. Also couldn't see that nearly half of the girls here is have major feelings for him. Admittedly, she is also included in that category.

She has a hunch as to why though. There were several hints, some that most would ignore, that he was abused in the past. The fact that he doesn't talk about his relatives, at all. The time he was surprise that the girls give him any type of gift, whether it's for Christmas or his birthday. Also a time where he revealed that he has a slight fear of the dark (As in complete darkness), as well as to why.

"I've been in the dark for so long. Once I have gotten out for good, I never wanted to go back." She heard him say once. She hope she is wrong about her guess, but those were clear signs that he was abused.

As Harry took a sip of his drink, he heard another voice spoke from the other side. "Hey Harry-kun. Enjoying the party?" Harry turn to see Chao at his other side.

He smiled. "Yeah, I am. This class sure do know how to throw a party."

"Probably because we thrown every week." Chao joked, drawing a chuckle from Harry. "But I, and a couple of others, notice that the other guest of honor isn't here, along with our favorite orange haired friend. Want to go find them?"

Harry nodded. "Sure, I'm for that." He turned to Mana. "You don't mind if I go look for them, do you?" Mana shook her head.

"No, I don't mind. I'll go check on Setsuna while you're searching." Mana said. "She's on unofficial guard duty." Harry snorted at that. Was there ever a time Setsuna do relax?

"All right then. Enjoy the rest of the party." With that, Harry left with Chao to go find Asuna and Negi.

(Night)

"You really should've payed attention to your surroundings Asuna." Harry stated with a smirk as he, Asuna, Konoka, and Negi walked towards the dorms. "Be glad I was there, or else Kazumi would've used those pictures for who knows what."

"Shut up." Asuna said with a pout. Konoka merely giggled at how childish Asuna is acting. "That was terrible! I blame the brat for this!"

"You're the one who decided to practice confessing." Harry retorted, drawing a glare from her. The mage wasn't perturbed by the glare. "You reap what you sow Asuna."

Asuna grunted, turning away from Harry. "Anyway, Negi," Asuna turn her attention to the ten year old now. "You may be smart, and able to use magic….but you're still a child aren't you? Can you really be a teacher?"

Harry can see the words bringing the boy down. Knowing he needs the support, he spoke up. "Don't underestimate what a kid can do Asuna, especially a gifted one. If he works hard, he can achieve this job." With that, he walk ahead of the group. "I'm going back home. See you three in the morning."

Just as Harry was about to leave them, Asuna spoke up. "Hey wait!" Harry turned around when he heard Asuna. The orange-haired girl rub the back of her head, looking down. "Well, sorry for punching in the eye back at class. Didn't mean to do it." She then look at the bruise in concern. "Are you okay? That bruise look bad."

Harry smiled at her. "No worries. I've gotten worse than this." Harry reassured. "And apology accepted. But the next time that happens, well, I'm not gonna be so lenient." Asuna shivered at the threatening tone of his, as well as when his eyes narrowed, and nodded. "Good." With that, Harry left the three and went to the Student Dormitory.

"What's with the change of heart?" Konoka asked her friend. "After class, you said it was his fault for getting in the way."

Asuna huffed and looked away with a slight blush. "Can't a girl change her mind? Besides, I always say stupid stuff I don't mean." She then turn her head towards Negi. "Hey Negi, did you find a place to stay yet?"

Negi shook his head. "No. Never really had a chance to."

Asuna hummed, thinking to herself. "In that case, I'll let you stay with me and Konoka. Just until you find somewhere else to stay." Negi was surprise at hearing that.

"...I may have said a bit too much back there. Sorry." Asuna apologized. " And Harry is right. If you keep trying hard, you'll be a good teacher one day too."

That upped Negi's mood even more. "Yes! Thank you Asuna!"

(With Harry)

Now normally, boys aren't allowed in the Student Dormitory, since it's an all-girls dormitory. But since there was no where else for Harry to sleep at, the Dean gave him a room for himself in the building, despite the boy's protest.

So Harry enter in the building and went to his room. Once he did, he laid down his stuff and collapsed on the bed. "Well, this was an energetic day." Harry said to himself. "More than usual."

"Considering you were teaching the most energetic girls here, I'm not surprise."

Harry tensed and turned towards the window, ready to face the intruder, until he recognized who it was. "Oh Hedwig. I didn't see you there."

The snowy white female owl on his window is Harry's familiar, companion, and friend. The first friend he have ever made. He met her when he was six, a few weeks after he escaped from the Dursleys. Ever since then, they've become inseparable friends.

The owl flew into his room and sat on the bird's swing that Harry bought for her. "So, how was your first day teaching?"

"Really bad." Harry stated, laying on his bed. "Never thought teaching would be so physical."

"Considering who you were teaching, I'm not surprise."

Harry chuckled at that. "True." Harry agreed. "Oh, and Asuna found out about magic."

Hedwig blinked at this. "Really? How did that come to be?"

"Harry used magic to save one of the girls, Nodoka. Asuna saw it."

"And you didn't erase her memory?"

"Negi tried to. The spell somehow erased her clothes instead, giving me the impression that she's somehow shielded from magical attacks."

Hedwig blinked once more. "Hmm, very interesting."

"Interesting indeed." The boy then close his eyes. "Night Hedwig."

He's gonna allow himself a bit of shut eye. Then after, he'll wake up and go on his usual night patrol around the school, one of his jobs at Mahora.

(With Negi, Asuna, and Konoka)

"So here's our room." Asuna announced as she, Konoka, and Negi enter the room. "You can sleep on the couch for right now. And are you still hungry? Need a bath?"

"Thank you Asuna, but I'm fine for right now." Negi said sincerely, putting his stuff near the couch. As he sat on the couch, his mind wonder back to how Harry's name sound familiar. He couldn't think on it much due to the events that was happening around him, from saving Nodoka to the party that was held for him and Harry. But now, his mind is back to that subject.

Harry's name sounds familiar. Very familiar. Almost, like he heard it from a story book….

His eyes widen in realization. Wanting to make sure his conclusion, he turn to Konoka, waiting for Asuna finish dressing in the bathroom. "Konoka, do you know Harry-san's last name? I didn't get the chance to ask him today."

Konoka nodded. "Of course. His name is Harry Potter." That shocked Negi Springfield.

His fellow mage and teacher, is none of other than Harry James Potter. The Boy-Who-Lived, the Young Traveler, and the Defeater of Tom Marvolo Riddle. A.k.a, Voldemort.

And that's the end. So, you didn't expect a talking Hedwig, did you? I figured since Negi has Chamo as a companion, I figured Harry should have a talking animal companion as well. And who better than his favorite snowy owl? Also, you can see that Harry is famous in the Negima world as well, with an added title to his fame. I hope everyone is okay with that. I hope all of you liked this chapter. Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you later.
