Hi all! This is at Hogwarts! I will make a scene with the Sorting Hat and then I will go straight to the second day. I don't know who'll go where yet, I'm writing this as I go along. Thanks for the reviews! I love you to pieces! If any one has a suggestion then tell me! I don't bite, hard. You just need to ask nicely. I swear that's all. If you're lucky, I'll bight Duo not you. Heh. That's what you get for having a Neko-jin author! Anyway. I put Wufei as having a sort of girlfriend for later. Don't be mad for that! I think you'll guess when I first introduce her. Any way, review me after you read this please!

Chapter 5: Sorting Hat and Odd Moments

The train ride had gone fine. They had all sat together with the couples making out and poor Wufei getting a bloody nose. For the most part, the ride had been uneventful. Thank god that the pilots hadn't been forced to kill anyone for ogling their friends. To say the least, their pets had caused more of a stir than them. The lion cub had grown in the short time and was now up to Trowa's knees. Quatre's was a small cat and had stayed the same size.

When they finally arrived, the pilots took the boat ride with the rest of the first years. They got to the building a short time after. They were nervous but played the part of a confident person very well.

"Chang, Wufei?" Professor McGonagall asked. Wufei went up and put the sorting hat on.

Hm... I see a lot of horror. I also see your huge sense of honor and justice. You must have been in a war. You killed without caring. I will put you in...

"Slytherin!"

"Granger, Trowa?" She asked. Trowa walked up and put it on.

I see you have a brilliant young mind. You have lived a life of sadness and you have just found out who you are and where you belong. You are in...

"Gryffindor!"

"Malfoy, Quatre?" McGonagall said with wonder. Quatre blushed slightly and put the hat on.

I see you have a special talent. You have a talent that sets you apart from the rest of your friends. Your family has been Slytherin for the past few centuries. Are you willing to forgo the tradition? I see that you are. I have no choice..."

"Gryffindor!"

"Potter, Heero?" She asked with a touch of worry. Heero walked up and put on the hat.

You are a brave young man and your thoughts are clouded. You have been changed from your original state. Tampered with I might add. Once you were in a state of killing. You would have killed your best friend because they were a liability. I can see past these things, but what's done is done. I will put you in...

"Slytherin!"

"Weasely, Duo?" She implored. Duo bounced up and put the hat on.

So you grew up on the streets? And you fight for justice?

Not justice, peace. Wufei fights for honor and justice. I don't want to be in Slytherin. Please don't make me.

You killed for the sake of peace, you killed with out emotion, and you were satisfied and happy that you had killed someone. I think I will put you in...

"Slytherin!"

The day after the sorting was counted as the first day of semester one. Everyone was looking forward to meeting the new DADA teacher. The Gryffindors had the unlucky chance of having it with the Slytherins.

Every one seated them selves. The pilots sat together at the front and the other group sat next to them.

They waited for a moment and finally stopped talking as a figure rushed into the room. The figure was indistinguishable because they wore a black cloak with a silver sash as a belt. They carried a silver and golden scythe and stood at the center of the class. On it's chest was a silver cross.

Harry felt a chill grow over him. It was like the Dementors, but he didn't hear any screaming.

"Does any one fear death?" Asked the figure sullenly.

Everyone raised his or her hands except for the pilots.

"I expected that much. Tell me pilots. Why do you not fear death?"

Heero raised his hand.

"Yes Mr. Yuy?"

"We do not fear death because we lived through two wars. We had to kill countless times. When we die, it will be a release from our hateful crimes. Too much blood has stained our souls. We do not fear death because we've already nearly died."

Duo raised his hand as well.

"Mr. Maxwell?"

"I know this sounds weird, but I call myself Shinigami. When we were in our Gundams, I killed and kind of blamed it on my darker half which is Shinigami."

"I know Duo. Don't worry about that. I watched your battles. I was relieved to know some one could kill and keep a straight face. Now, Mr. Potter," the figure said, turning around. "You can feel an aura around me can't you. I assure you that I am not a Dementor. If I were you would hear screaming. The room may be cold when I enter so please bring a sweater to my class if you want."

Hermione raised her hand.

"Yes Ms. Granger?"

"Who are you?"

"Haven't you guessed?"

The class shook their heads. Duo looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I believe Duo has and idea."

"Are you death?"

The figured turned around and pulled her hood off. She wasn't facing the class so they didn't see her face. They saw that she had long black hair in a braid that reached her knees, but nothing else. She pulled off the rest of her robe and revealed a voluptuous but skinny form with weapons hanging off any empty space. She turned around and her glowing green eyes fixed themselves on Duo. Her eyes stayed on him but she started taking off the weapons.

"This is a katana. I have two. I believe Wufei is very familiar with them."

"I am. How did you know?"

"Like Duo said. I am death. Call me Shinimegami."

The class gasped.

"I think Quatre was feeling some vibes from me as well. I'm glad that your Uchuu no Kokoro is developing. If you come here after school, I need to talk to you. As for you Trowa, I want to help you develop your talent with animals. Bring your lion to me after school as well. Duo, Heero, Wufei, I want to see you boys at lunch okay?"

The Gundam boys only nodded.

"Great. Now we can finally get started. I am here to teach you the dark arts as well as how to defend against them."

At her words Malfoy perked up.

"No Malfoy, I will not let you hit Potter with a curse, I will have you practice them on me."

Malfoy sort of deflated, but he was happy to learn anyway.

"How can you have curses thrown at you?"

"Simple. Any curse you throw at me will have no effect because when I was mortal, I had each and every one thrown at me. All the curses except the three unforgivable curses are what I will teach you. If you attempt to hit another student in this class or out of it, I will make sure you suffer. I will not have this leave my classroom. I can kill any of you without a moment's hesitation. Do not cross with me."

All of this was said in a mono-toned voice that was identical to Heero's. The students went very pale and some started shivering. Suddenly, she smiled and the chill ebbed off.

"I will also teach you wandless magic. It is for next semester. You can do all of your spells but with out the wand. Incase it is ever snapped," she looked pointedly at Ron, "you will be able to defend yourselves. Voldermort will not give every one a fair chance to defeat him. I would be surprised if he did."

"Since you are the Goddess of Death, then why can't you kill Voldermort yourself?"

"Good question. I give ten points to Slytherin. Anyway, I cannot interfere with mortal lives. If I do, their souls would wander forever."

Suddenly the bells chimed.

"Sorry class. Looks like we're out of time. Remember what I said boys. I will see you some other time ne?"

The class left.

Well? Did you guess whom Wufei was going to be paired up with? In case you don't know, Shinimegami is I. I'll go into more detail later. I have to get this stupid keyboard fixed. I can barely type now. Well, I'll update soon. Bye, and thanks again to all my reviewers!
