Summary of Last Chapter:
The Shinigami have learned about witches and wizards, and also why they are getting the dreaded paperwork. But now they don't know how to destroy Tom Marvelo Riddle, and without sending him to Hell's gate. Albus Dumbledore is also having trouble, but he can't find a DADA teacher, how are these two things related?

"Ugh, Harry! You missed the last Quiditch game; we lost to the slimy Slytherin's. Again!" Exclaimed Ronald Weasley, throwing his hands in the air. The red head then noticed his best friend get a guilty look on his face, and hurriedly tried to cover up his mistake. "But it's ok mate. And you're well enough to go to the feast like Madame Pomfrey said!"
A bushy haired girl who was sitting next to Ronald scoffed and said, "Honestly Ron, you have no idea how to make anyone feel better. And we are going to be leaving school soon, tool..." She sighed. "You will write to me, right?" The brown haired girl pleaded to the two boys. Both of them nodded before the third one in the group decided to speak.
"Don't worry Ron, Hermione. I think the only thing you have to worry about is my Aunt and Uncle trying to keep the owls away!" Harry James Potter tried to say this cheerfully, but his friends saw through the act. "Don't worry Harry. I can ask Mum and Dad if you can come over. Fred and George would love to talk about their jokes, Ginny is one of your fan girls, and maybe Bill and Charlie will come home also!" Ron told his friends.
Hermione noticed Ron left someone out of his family. "What about Percy?" Ron scrunched up his nose. "Ever since he got that prefect badge, he's been insufferable." Harry laughed at Ron. "Ron, so you do know big words!"
"Yes I- Hey!"
Hermione and Harry laughed at the red face of their friend.

William T. Spears looked at all the assembled Shinigami. The men shuffled nervously under the hard, cold, and hypnotizing gaze of the Shinigami. "What do you know about wizards?" Some of the newest recruits looked at William like he was crazy, but the ones who were there when he had his little, 'outburst' started speaking.
"They have wands."
"And pimples and moles!"
"Black cats?"
"Caldrons that they eat children in!"
William had a feeling that if it was in his personality then he would face palm. "Is there anything," He sighed. "That you know that isn't from a child's fairytale?" The Shinigami looked around at each other, hoping to see someone who knew about these 'Real' witches and wizards.
William sighed is disappointment, but before he could say anything Grell burst forward from the mob. "I know!" Everyone who knew Grell raised an eyebrow, but allowed the red haired, Sebastian lover, to talk.
"Ok. So you see they do have wands, brooms, and caldrons. But they have schools all around the world to teach children about it. They have subjects such as Transfiguration, Herbology, Potions, Charms, and this weird thing called 'Defense Against the Dark Arts.'"
The more serious Shinigami looked unimpressed while the younger ones digested the information with a childish curiosity. "And how do you know this, Mr. Sutcliff?"
Grell beamed under William's cold gaze. "Oh Will! You see I had to collect a witch's soul once, and found all these books! I was interested in them, so I decided to read them!" Grell practically had sparkles floating around him, acting proud about his knowledge. "And how do you know these books are real and not fictional books from the humans?" Grell's sparkles disappeared as he stumbled with his words, making all the people impressed wondering whether the books were real or not.
"But here! I'll show you!" Yelled Grell, determined not to be wrong. He ran over to his cubical and opened random drawers, his canines chomping up and down on his bottom lip. With a quick 'Ah Ha!' he grabbed something from a drawer and presented it to the Shinigami's.
They crowded around the table on the left, all wanting to see the supposed Wizarding book.
Ronald Knox had kept quiet till this point, but now he pushed his way to the front and looked at the book.
It was old, with pages ripping and stains marking the once crisp white pages. The book cover was once a royal blue, Ronald decided, but had turned an ugly purplish brown. Ronald could faintly see writing on the top, and he deciphered it as,
"Hogwarts, a History. Volume One." The multi hair colored man couldn't make out the author.
William pushed up his glasses closer to his eyes to get a better look. "Hum. Yes." The Shinigami with the tree clipping shears turned to look at Grell. "Read something to prove your point." Grell pounced at the books, and wrenched it open to a random page.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the oldest wizarding schools in the world. It was founded by the Four Founders,"
Here some Death Gods sniggered. What a creative name.
"Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. There is a legend that they were the best of friends and decided to build Hogwarts, and fought about which witches and wizards to take in. Godric Gryffindor said, "We will only take those with pure bravery!" Rowena Ravenclaw exclaimed, "We shall take only those with the thirst for knowledge." Salazar Slytherin told them, "We shall only take those with the purest blood." And Helga Hufflepuff said, "Well I don't care who I get. I will take them all.""
Ronald whispered loudly to the person next to him, "It sure sounds like a bed time story." The Shinigami nodded, but they were shushed by the others.
"And so, they decided to create different houses in the school, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. But years later Slytherin didn't like what the others were teaching, and so fought Gryffindor for control of the school. Slytherin lost and was fatally wounded, and fled the school forever. But before he left, there were rumors that Slytherin built a secret chamber, sealed it up, with a monster only the Heir of Slytherin could control. With that done, Slytherin left and was never seen or heard from again. For more information on the legend, the Chamber of Secrets, go to page 371."
The Shinigami looked at each other uncertainly, wondering whether or not the book was telling the truth. After all, Shinigami were immortal, and would have noticed if mortal's had started printing out books like this 'Hogwarts, a History.'
William looked hard and Grell before saying, "It's a possibility. Now leave." The Shinigami shuffled away to their desks and paperwork, wondering if the book was real. 'It couldn't possibly be true, could it?' William asked himself.
The tall Shinigami frowned and pushed up his glasses once again. He had a lot to think about.
