An: Hello readers! I know this chapter isn't as long as I had hoped it would be but my school is giving me finals and I have been having struggles with deciding what my future shall hold. I had also for a while been worried about my family's finances only to find out, after my father bought a thousand dollar stereo system, that we where financially fine.

I don't own Inuyasha, Harry Potter, or Read. OR. Die.

Chapter 12

Teacher

The next morning dawned with Inuyasha sitting in the Gryffindor common room with his dark hair waiting for the sun to rise so he can hide his ears successfully before his class mates awoke.

The book he liked to read, 'Biology for Dummies' was open to a page reading about atavisms.

An atavism is a theorized genetic throw back used to explain traits from a distant ancestor that skipped several generations or genes that appear unexpectedly or a phenotype that didn't exist in pervious generations.

Some social scientists use atavisms to explain primitive behaviors in people such as violence and "clan identities" which suggest the need of those behaviors in war like times in the past.

A classic yet often laughed upon theory or example of atavisms is the atavism of the—

"Inuyasha, good morning." Kagome said as she interrupted his morning reading. "Are you ready for our first day of school?"

"Feh." Inuyasha muttered "It's not like I can avoid it, I still don't see why I have to be taught this 'magic' if my yoki worked for me before." He referred to the Tessiga which was pinned in to his robe where the Tessiga would normally rest.

"Oh come on, it might be useful, and you know the energy this school gives off reminds me of that air back in the Feudal era."

"How does the air here feel like the air back home?" Inuyasha asked looking at Kagome for answers.

"The air the walls give off remind me of the way the air was before we left, as if there was magic coming this way in the Warring States Era." Kagome explained.

Inuyasha looked at her odd. In the east the sun rose.

Inuyasha felt his hair turn silver, his ears moving from the side of his head to the top and regained their original shape, his fangs grew back, his eyes turned golden, his claws grew and sharpened and he exhaled before his sense of smell returned.

Kagome eyed his ears before she grabbed his hair brush on the counter and started attacking the tangles that formed in the back.

Inuyasha jumped and snatched his hair brush from Kagome when his hair follicles screamed their plight to the hanyou.

He eyed Kagome as he smoothed his hair up and pulled his hair in to a pony tail at the top of his head with the hair hiding his ears.

Kagome would just not under stand how painful it was to have his hair be ripped by a very hard hair brush.

The morning moved on with an interesting moment of Kagome trying to explain to her fellow Gryffindors why Inuyasha's hair was sliver.

"Uh, will…. He… color it… because… it run in the family."

This confused the Gryffindors until Hermione asked Inuyasha if his family dyed their hair silver to represent something while the foreign student eyed the walls feeling the magical aura his human skin was numb to until now.

All she had gotten in reply was a "hi."

Shippo spent the night in Kagome's room and was mistaken as a stuffed animal by her classmates, but now that Kagome had lift to get breakfast, leaving our dear hero in her bed room to spend the day.

A boring day.

Alone.

Coloring, although entertaining, left the small Kitsune restless, and breakfast wasn't even over.

"Mew!" a small cream colored two tailed feline peeked her head out the door way.

"Kirara!" Shippo ran over to his companion and followed her out of the room to explore the castle. It had been an agreement that Shippo would explore the castle with Kirara as long as he didn't cause trouble.

Hermione smiled as she eyed her schedule, it looked like a good year this year.

Ron groaned. "I have Snape first thing in the morning. What a way to start the school year."

Harry was dreading potions too.

Hermione's eyes looked to the first thing for the day and saw that it was true, they did have potions.

"What do… you have on your first day?" An accented voice filled the girl's ears.

Hermione turned around a saw the Gryffindor Kagome with the Ravenclaw Sango.

"Potions." Hermione explained pointing to the words on the sheet of parchment. "What do you have?"

Both girls looked at their sheets of parchment and slowly read aloud "Engrish as a second ranguage."

"What?" Ron asked looking at the girls as if they were pulling his leg.

"She said English as a second language Ron." Hermione explained. "I read that in some areas of Japan, there is no letter L so they use R as a substitute."

Harry looked at the foreign exchange students and then at Ron and Hermione as they bickered back and fourth about the use of language and proper letters.

This was going to be a long first day of school.

"Hello Class, I am Readman-sensei, or in English, Professor Readman. Welcome to your first English as a second language course. Here we will learn not only English, but the English culture and that of the wizarding community. First we shall introduce each other in Japanese and I shall explain more about our course." Professor Readman said for the first time with out a book in her hands, although the square shapes in her trench coat said otherwise.

Miroku sat in his seat and waited for his turn with the introductions, watching his new sensei. The woman seemed to have a small build but she seemed well endowed in her b—Miroku froze as he felt Sango's presence right behind him, determined to keep the monk from causing any problems in this school. He looked back at Sango who was indeed glaring at him and watched as he tried to lift both arms up innocently as if to say his mind was not in the gutter.

Sango seemed unconvinced.

She didn't trust him at all when it came to women at all did she?

One long class later Souta marched out of the English as a second language class with an assignment to read, recite, and write the English alphabet until she was familiar with it's contents. It was also an assignment with a buddy.

He looked at his hero, as Inuyasha looked at his homework assignment with a look of confusion but at the same time slow understanding. He could remember some of most of these letters from his book and was beginning to understand the whole concept of English.

Next came Charms, which was taught by a small little wizard named Professor Flickwick, Inuyasha was almost convinced that the tiny professor was related to Jaken in some sort of way. Kagome almost sat him.

Transfiguration, Miroku almost sucked up a desk when Professor McGonagall turned it in to a pig. Kagome named it P-chan until the pig was turned back in to desk, much to the girl's disappointment.

At Lunch, Inuyasha discovered hot sauce by accident and erupted when the spicy substance touched his tongue.

Herbology: Sango could swear that one shady plant was stalking her until she hit it with the Hirikotsu charm and it withered back in to its original possession on the other side of the room

Potions was a nightmare end of story.

Inuyasha had to yank an ingredient out of Miroku's hands before it was too late in adding it in to the potion. "Not yet, it doesn't smell right." He muttered in Japanese.

Miroku nodded and kept stirring the potion.

A loud clunk filled the class room as Sango and Kagome jumped up on to their chairs as a bunch of first years knocked their caldron on to the castle floor. Snape leapt after them with bunch of scolding and points that were being deducted.

"Miss Higurashi, Miss Orion, five points removed from both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Why didn't you tell those student's that this isn't a wise idea to rough handle a caldron filled with a potion, didn't your parents teach you better?"

Sango and Kagome tried to respond but were interrupted by Snape again. "That's another five points for protesting."

"Oi teme!" Inuyasha didn't like the tone he was yelling at the girls at. "They did nothing bad."

"That would be about five house point Mr. Neona!"

Inuyasha nearly lost his patience and was about to reach for the Tessiga when; "Inuyasha! Sit!" Kagome cried.

Down went Inuyasha and Kagome lost three house points for using a spell out side of class course material.

"Uh, Nee-chan…" Souta called, standing on his chair, stranded on a sea of acidic potion that seemed to be eating his chair.

The rest of class was not pretty.

Voldemort stood in the middle of a forest, Wormtail was off scourging some where and Naigi was stalking in the grass for something to eat.

'So Voldemort, are you ready for you're first lesson in using Yoki?'

'Yes.' Voldemort replied mentally feeling Naraku's presence in his mind. He Closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and saw a vision, inside was an orb; the orb was divided in to three parts. One was crimson the color of blood, one was a dark purple black, and the other was a bright green. The green section give seemed to have an opening allowing the green energy to leak out and the energy seemed to swarm all over his body and leak out of his wand.

'First you need to place all your magic back in to your core. Your mind should have enough control over your magic to do that.' Naraku replied.

Is that what the green energy was? Voldemort took a deep breath and thought of the energy being pushed back in to the orb and saw the green energy obey his mental command.

Once the energy was sealed inside, Voldemort felt a shock and felt for the first time since he had returned felt weak and helpless. He shivered.

'What's going on?' Voldemort thought urgently to his ancestor.

'Nothing to worry about, you've been so dependant on your magic for so long that you forgot what it was like to not have the energy out. Now focus on the purple section of the core and call that energy out instead.'

Voldemort almost didn't obey, disliking the fact that he was being ordered around, but decided the benefits were worth it.

The dark energy leapt out of the core at Voldemort's command and it was out so much that Voldemort released the energy as it took the form of a dark smoke.

'This is called Miasma, it is very useful, you can use it to poison your enemies and the uses of solidified miasma are unlimited. Now for lesson two.' Naraku began as they were interrupted with a bird call. Voldemort opened his eyes and jumped in his poisonous atmosphere to shot his arm out forward as it grew in to a long sharp tentacle and pulled his arm back to find a wren speared on the end.

'Ku ku ku ku, excellent.'

Harry awoke with a gasp in his bed in the middle of the night. Myoga who was sitting on Harry's chest was shot forward and crashed on to the boy's bed cover. Harry groped for his glasses in the dark and pulled them over his ears and on to his nose before he gazed around. Should he tell Dumbledore about the dream? It sounded like a good idea as he crawled out of bed and opened his trunk to find the invisibility cloak when….

Harry turned around and noticed something, Neville was out of bed, his pajamas were lying on his bed, waiting for their owner to return, and nowhere in Gryffindor tower.

An: I know, I know. A cliff hanger. But I have finals at school so I need to focus on them. So let me know what you guys think about this chapter!
