Chapter 4

A week into teaching at Hogwarts, Lavi found himself enjoying his time there, even if that meant he had to avoid Zero Bane, who now gave him chills, worse than the ghosts that roamed the halls and that one called Peeves who'd made sure to avoid Lavi with all costs since he'd used a forbidden art to enter the spirit world and punch the annoying ghost in the face.

Even surprising was the fifth years of Slytherin and Gryffindor who somehow seemingly seemed to get along. But in the back of his mind, Lavi knew they were angry at him. Then again, Lavi couldn't remotely blame them as Lavi wasn't fond of Umbridge, who'd insisted on sitting beside him and telling Pomona to move to the other side of Flitwick and Minvera.

He was in his room, at his desk, grading papers on the history of alchemy, an unused art. He was fond of Hermione Granger, since she seemed to be the only one who had brains and a good memory. He was disappointed with Weasley and Potter, who Lavi was certain had copied off of Granger, but he gave the points to them nonetheless.

Umbridge made sure to sit in all of his classes, and took lengthy notes with a cruel smirk on her toad-like face. Lavi fumed as he wrote an A on Parkinson's work before grading Longbottom's.

He understood the rivalry between the two houses, but in some sense, it seemed foolish to him. Bickering over who is better is...well...something a cool person like Lavi should do.

There was one thing Lavi hated about the school. There were no hot middle-aged women. Nothing. Although he was sure that Pomona had a thing for him, but he isn't into grandmotherly types. Madam Hooch was kind of attractive, but her hawk-like eyes turned him off instantly.

He sighed. This was gonna be a long school year.

Every night, he would read the letter Bookman wrote, and he would cry. Every night. His friends, the people he was supposed to fake like, were his true friends. Allen had changed into a monster and no doubt was killing humans with Akuma. He wondered if his friends had been buried or left out rotting in the rain.

That was when it hit him.

"Bane."

He left his room quickly and made his way down the stairs before entering the Great Hall. He saw Zero Bane with a cute girl. They were laughing. He didn't want to be rude but he rushed over there and stood looking down on the surprised pair.

"Professor?"

"Bane. Get to my office now. We need to talk."

"Y-yes, sir."

Lavi returned and sat behind his teacher's desk when Zero entered the classroom and took the seat right in the front.

"What is the matter?"

"Your father. Who is he?"

"Michael Bane."

"Which General is he friends with?"

"Klaud Nine. They were married. Let's just say, she is my mother."

(Whooo so I'm sure everyone is happy and thank you but now, I need to go rest by wrists. Love ya!)
