A/N: Alrighty! I got another person who likes my story! I'd like to say thanks for the TWO reviews I got from you RedDehWeaboo! I appreciate it that at least someone enjoys this! I mean, I'm still not getting many reviews, but whatever (maybe it's my never ending A/N's). Anyways... I just wanted to say thanks and I'm doing my best to try to appreciate NaLu like you do! Anyways, it's spring break right now, so I'd like to try to update a chapter everyday, but we will see if that works out or not. So, being bored and not wanting to draw another picture, I figured I'd write a special chapter for everyone! I mean, it won't really be special, but maybe I can incorporate something into it to make it special. Alrighty, it's currently 6:02 and my charger is faulty rn so we will see which one ends first: the chap or my phone! Let's begin!
Chapter 7: The Draconian Teacher is Crazy Stupid
The students all either screamed or ran to the window when Natsu thrust himself out into free-falling. Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Draco seemed to be the most interested in the window, so their heads were sticking out the window as they watched their teacher plummet downwards.
Hermoine, being the genious she is, decided to race away from the window and to the door, where she practically flung herself down the stairs. Many students followed suit, wanting to be the first to arrive on the scene below.
Harry, Ron, and Draco all stared wide eyed out the window. This was the only teacher that somehow made them get along and agree on one thing: this Draconian teacher was crazy stupid.
With that in mind, the students watched as fire erupted around the black and salmon speck that was their teacher and fellow student. Glancing at each other, the Hogwarts students ran after their friends and house members, flying towards the exit.
Within two minutes, everyone had somehow made it outside where they'd seen their teacher take his plummet.
Standing in a crater, perfectly unharmed, was their golden-horned teacher, who grinned mischievously at them, his new golden- speckled eyes sparkling in the sun.
Many of the girls blushed and fan-girled over him while a majority of the boys looked at Natsu like he was a super hero (which he pretty much was (to like everybody reading this at least lol)).
Natsu gave his classic grin at the students before switching to a deadly glare in an instant. Everyone stopped smiling and stared at Natsu with wide-eyes, knowing he was going to do something either incredibly stupid, crazy, or both.
"Alright maggots! You P'd me off a little bit, so I'm gonna fix your manner problems. You better follow me, and I'll show you what you'll be doing for today. Also, I'd take off your robes and leave just your tank and pants on. Boys, strip down to your undies if you need to. Wouldn't want your fancy clothes getting dirty, now would we?" Natsu gave an evil grin before turning around and walking in a random direction. The students looked at eachother nervously before following behind the salmon-haired mage.
They approached a clearing that was close to Hagrid's (not that anybody really knew or seemed to care), and Natsu quickly turned around, a few students bumping into him. "Alright, drop and give me 100."
Blank stares.
"What do you mean 100?" Ron asked, utterly confused.
"What do you mean 'what do you mean 100?'. That's a stupid question. I mean drop and give me 100 push ups. That should be easy enough. I'll even do them with ya so I get a two-second work out, yeah?" When Natsu mimicked Ron, he lowered his voice and gave a British accent, making the students chuckle a bit before their faces turned to pure horror.
100 push ups?!?!
The students looked at Natsu like he'd grown a tail to go with the already demon-like horns and crazy glint in his sparkling eyes that flashed crimson-gold for half a second before going back to what Natsu would call 'normal'.
When nobody moved, Natsu's face darkened. "Did none of you hear me?" He was barely audible, only just above a whisper, but that frightened the students even more than Natsu's yelling. And yet what Natsu did next seemed even more terrifying.
With incredible speed, all the students were on the floor, unsure of how they got there. Natsu stood staring down at all of them, his eyes wide and his mouth set in a firmly crinkled line. Natsu clenched his fists and yelled down at the students, "YOU MAGGOTS! I SAID 100 PUSH UPS, BUT BECAUSE NONE OF YOU CAN FOLLOW ORDERS, LET's MAKE IT 200!! GO GO GOOO!!!" Natsu dropped down and was doing push-ups so fast that the students got dizzy watching him. In less than 3 minutes, Natsu was back on his feet, staring at the gaping children.
"Well? What are you all staring at? If you can't do that within 5 minutes, what kind of wizards are you, huh? Listen, I'm gonna give you a lesson AS YOU DO YOUR 200 PUSH UPS, got it?" The students nodded before they began their workout.
Natsu walked around, observing the students. Only about half of them were left: the other half couldn't continue with their upper body strength so Natsu made them run around the castle 5 times in 10 minutes, which he deemed a reasonable amount of time. He even told the students that he'd 'know if they chickened out', but he didn't specify how (though the readers know: sniff sniff omg Ichiya in my head forever...). Natsu continued to watch his stock of fresh meat, waiting for the next student to fall to their doom.
"Oh, c'mon! You're the weakest bunch of wizards I've ever seen! When I was your age, I had to lift bolders that weighed more than a good couple tons! What am I even seeing right now? Weasley! How many have you done?" Natsu hovered over Ron with a raised eyebrow, pulling aviator shades out of nowhere to cover his magical-like eyes.
"Twenty... three... Sir!!!!" Ron could barely get out those few words as he struggled on number 24.
"Psh, what a shame. I thought you could all handle this, but I was wrong. Everyone, huddle up!" Most of the students either collapsed or walked up to Natsu so fast that even the salmon-haired mage himself had trouble tracking them all. "I'll be back. Don't go anywhere." Within a good three minutes, Natsu had the other students, grabbing them from around the castle. He made multiple trips, but made sure he did all of them going around the entire castle. Most of the students were still on their first lap, whereas Natsu had gathered all the runners within a fraction of the time.
With all of the sweaty students gathered, Natsu frowned and creased his forehead. "Now why is it that you're all so out of shape, hm?" Everybody looked at Natsu like he was a phsyco pyromaniac who was going to burn them straight to hell (at least the first part was accurate). With a sigh, Natsu nodded. "Alright, we need to fix this. Girls, tie your hair up in a ponytail. Boys, take off your shirts, no matter how skinny, fat, ugly, or ole you may be. I told all of you to take off those stupid robes anyways. Now, come on! Hurry up!"
With a groan, the students did as he asked. Once that was done though, they realized how they seemed to sweat less. Natsu then stood like a general speaking to soldiers. "ATTEEENNNTION!" The students looked at eachother before scrambling to line up. "Ah, at least some things never change. Alrighty! Let's see what we've got! Once I assess you all, I'll separate you into the weak and strong. I'll work with the weaker ones to make them level with the strong ones so you're all on the same level. Got it?" Several nods from the group were given. "Here we go!"
Natsu walked down the line, working with three at a time. Everyone was given the same assessment: ten pushups, ten crunches, fifteen jumping jacks and minute long planks.
After Natsu's version of an incredibly simple workout, he gave a slight huff. "You guys aren't giving me much to work with, but I guess it's better than trying to teach Happy how to use any kind of magic other than aerial..." A slight smile crossed Natsu's face before he blinked and looked back at the kids.
He had separated them into four groups: the first was the strongest, as they had no problem doing Natsu's microscopic workout. The second group still passed, though with some trouble finishing. The third had almost finished; they were off by one or two push ups or crunches. The last group was everyone that just straight up sucked at it all.
"Alright, Group One! You're gonna be called Eagles!" A few nods were sent around before Natsu pulled out a marker and walked up to the first kid, handing him the pen. "Take this and draw a fancy #1 on everyone's right shoulder." The dirty-blonde looked at Natsu questioningly before nodding, walking around with the red pen.
"Group Two! You're gonna be the Tigers!" Natsu handed a brunette girl from Gryffindor a black pen. "Write a fierce #2 on everyone's right shoulder please." The girl smiled before working on her task.
"Group Three! You're the Wolves!" He handed a black haired boy a blue pen. "Do a wild #3 on everyone's right shoulder. Thanks." The kid blinked before doing as asked.
"And finally, Group Number Four! You're gonna be the Dragons! The reason why is because we're gonna work you so hard that you're gonna end up flying far higher and faster than the Eagles, got it?" Some mode went around before Natsu handed poor Ron a gold marker. "Do a bad-arse #4 on everyone's right shoulder, would ya?" Ron shakily nodded before scrambling to do as he was told.
"Alright! We've got our groups! Eagles, Tigers, Wolves, Dragons! You've been ranked! We can determine your team leaders tomorrow. Today, however, I'm gonna put you to the test with the last couple minutes of class, got it?" Some nods went around before Natsu approached the Eagles. "I want you all to run around the castle one time with the remaining fifteen minutes of class. Finish or I'll keep you all during lunch. Got it?" Nods went around before Natsu pointed to the castle and the students began their run.
Natsu walked to the Group 2. "Tigers! Run down to that creek about a mile away, do fifteen push ups, and come back, then you're done. Got it? Finish or you're stuck with me at lunch." Some of the students were off so fast that you could see a trail of dust behind them. Natsu grinned before going to the next group.
"Wolves! I want you to go over in that field a quarter mile away and do twenty crunches, twenty push ups, and twenty jumping jacks! I also wanna see you go as long as you can with your planks and squats! Hold 'em, got it? Fail today, you're missing lunch to do it again!" The students nodded before going to their assigned workout.
Natsu gave a slight grin as he walked to the last group, which consisted of Ron, Draco, Harry, Hermoine, Neville, and a few other random students that Natsu forgot about. "Dragons! You may be the weakest now, but I can tell you are all competitive and hard working students! So, we're gonna work together on becoming stronger and faster to beat the Eagles, yeah?" Many nods and even some grins were seen amongst the largest group of kids. "Now, I had to make the groups the same sizes to ensure we have everything even when we fight eachother." Students seemed like their heads were going to burst before Natsu continued, "So, some of you should be in the Wolves' ranks. That doesn't matter though because I'm gonna work all of you! This group needed the most improvement, though, so that's what we're working on today. Draco!" Said kid looked at Natsu with a slight glare and eyebrow raise. "You're up first!"
Draco gently approached Natsu before stopping a good foot away from the teacher. "You're my demonstration for today's lesson." Natsu tried not to grin, but the students could still see it coming through. "Draco, you should be with the Wolves, but, due to your lack of mental agility and strength, you're starting with the weaklings." Natsu's hand pointed at the students before returning to his side. "So, with that being said, we need to knock your cockiness down by thiiiiisss much." Natsu held up his thumb and pointer fingers, opening them as wide as he could. "Got it?" Natsu showed off his toothy grin while Draco stared at Natsu with wide eyes and an even bigger mouth than usual (get it hehe lol).
"Wha... MY FATHER'S GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!" Draco flailed his arms around while he rest of the Dragons just laughed at their 'comrade'.
"Yeah, well at least you've got a dad..." Natsu mumbles under his breath, though the Golden Trio heard as well as Draco, who sneered at his teacher.
"Psh, looks like Mr. Know-It-All is all alone! 'Wah! My daddy is dead! I don't have a home or family cuz I was stuck in some stupid rock for over-'"
A solid punch to the face was all it took to knock Draco onto the floor, his face already bruising up more than thought.
"Don't talk about my dad, family, or past, ya hear Malfoy?" Natsu glared at Draco before turning around to the other Dragons. "One more thing... I'm bringing this up to Dumbledore. I'm sure he'll have an idea as to what to do about that abnormally large mouth of yours. I don't care who your father is or what his job is. As far as I'm concerned, this still isn't my home yet, and I can easily leave. However, it's the closest thing to a past I have right now, so you can shut that stupid trap of yours, got it?"
Before Natsu could continue his lesson, Draco spat out a mouthful of blood before grinning. "At least I don't look like a devil spawn of Satin himself."
Natsu stopped dead in his tracks, his shoulders tensed. "What... did you say, Malfoy?" Natsu's voice was abnormally low and sounded like the very thing he was accused of being.
Draco shivered a little before realizing he'd struck a nerve in the Fairy Tail mage. "You heard me loud and clear, Dragneel. You're a stupid lil demon that-"
Draco was on the ground, Natsu holding said boy's shirt collar with one hand and pounding his face in with the other.
"Don't-" A punch in the eye.
"Call-" A punch to the teeth.
"Me-" A sparking punch in the forehead.
"A DEMON!" Natsu's fist ignited in flames, many students either jumping back in shock or towards their teacher.
Hermoine ran forward and did the only thing she could think of, she slapped Natsu in the face. "Me. Dragneel! Stop! Don't prove him right!"
Natsu slowly turned to Hermoine, tears threatening to spill over. He stood up, his bangs covering his eyes as a tear could be seen streaming down his cheek. "Sorry. You're right. Someone take him to he infirmary. Class dismissed." With that, Natsu's hand was extinguished and he disappeared in a cloud of ash.
A/N: Dang! Ok, so obviously some stuff happened. It personally felt more like a filler chapter but whatever. Anyways, it's 8:01, and I would've finished earlier had I not taken a shower. Couldn't help myself... Anywho, please leave a review! They make me super happy and I'd like to make another chapter tomorrow! I'll make a deal: IF I GET JUST ONE REVIEW, ILL UPDATE TONIGHT OR TOMORROW BEFORE NOON. Deal? Just one review is all it takes to make me happy, so I'll start on the next chapter, but until I get a review I won't update. Ik ik its mean, but I really wanted to do this. So, please please PLEASE review. It'd make me over the top happy. And please feel free to ask questions and/or voice any concerns or constructive criticism you may have. Please no hating. Thanks and g'night!
