ARC: Deeply sorry for my bad updating habits. But I disappear for a few months and I find a story very much similar to my Playing House. Hmp! Oh well, I don't think anyone's tried to snatch my chibiwizards yet. Hope you guys enjoy! Oh, and the timeframe of this isn't linear so it might jump from a few days to a few weeks to whenever in between chapters.
Little Hanamichi and his 'best friend in all the world' Youhei had settled themselves comfortably in the SD School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"HANAMICHI! YOUHEI WHAT HAVE YOU BRATS DONE TO MY HOMEWORK?!!!"
They had also earned, with the help of their old-time friends, the title of the most annoying and loudest pranksters in all the school. And that was saying a lot in a school of more than 10,000 students.
The two little imps giggled in the corner of the common room safe from view as they watched a sheaf of paper fly all over the place.
"Watching mom's wind spells in action sure is fun and useful," Youhei said.
"Yeah!" Hanamichi gleefully agreed as he eyed a piece of parchment flapping its edges like wings.
"What is going on here?!"
The two looked at each other.
"Uh oh!"
The paper that Hanamichi had been watching struggled to stay afloat before it lost control and plunged down to its demise, crashing on a potted plant.
"Touch down!" Hanamichi yelled before covering his mouth.
"You idiot!" Youhei hissed.
The armchair that they had been hiding behind was levitated until they were face to face with Teacher Ayako. Now, the two children could not be frightened easily. They were not afraid of their upperclassmen. They fought off the monsters hiding underneath their beds on their first night the school. They even teased the headmaster of the Shohoku house whom people called the White Devil for reasons they could not fathom (he was quite jolly and cuddly and gave them sweets!).
But Teacher Ayako, now she was one lady that they feared. Not that Teacher Ayako would hit them with her handy-dandy tessen fan. Nope. Nuh-uh. She was just scary when she became angry and her eyes flashed like so and her mouth bared fangs like so.
"What have you two been doing again?" Teacher Ayako yelled at the two children holding on to each other.
"Uhm…nothing?" Hanamichi squeaked.
"Oh really?" Ayako leaned forward until she took up their whole view. "Then how did Akagi's homework become enchanted with a flight spell?"
The two shook their heads in unison.
"Oh you don't know?"
More head shaking, their pointy hats—Hanamichi's with a sun insignia and Youhei's with a drop of water sign—swaying to and fro.
"We dun know how to read spells yet Teacher!" Youhei protested, gaining some of his confidence back.
"Really? And I suppose seeing you float the stuffed balls in the nursery yesterday was just my imagination? Hmmm?"
The two looked at each other.
"I toldja she was looking!" Youhei hissed.
"But she was facing the other way!" Hanamichi insisted.
They looked back at their teacher. Hanamichi tilted his head to the side and lifted one fist to his chin, an adorable expression of curiosity on his face. Ayako melted inside. Really, this was the reason why Hanamichi and Youhei managed to walk away practically punish-free from all of their pranks. They just had to look adorable and the entire student and teacher population melted. Well, most of them anyway. But, not this time. She would be firm this time.
"Teacher Ayako…?"
"What?"
"Do you have eyes behind your head?"
Ayako's balance wavered and she fell on the floor. The other students in the room snickered. That was another arsenal that Hanamichi had, he always asked the weirdest questions out of the blue.
Meanwhile, Youhei's eyes had widened.
"That's why she could see us!" he exclaimed.
"I don't have eyes behind my back!" Ayako rose up and yelled.
"Yeah," a new voice said behind Ayako said.
The teacher twisted around and saw the other reason why she had so many headaches since school started. Not that the dark-haired narcoleptic boy was as notorious as the Sakuragi gundan but he did love to taunt the redhead so much which inevitably led to a raucous noise.
"She just used the mirror in the classroom to spy on ya," Kaede announced.
Ayako's tottered again. Kaede just had the uncanny ability to know what was going on despite being asleep most of the time.
The curly-haired young teacher stood up and tried to salvage what was left of her dignity (and her sanity).
"Whatever! There is only one thing to do. Give me your wands."
She held out her hand for said objects.
"You too, Kaede."
"Why?"
"Because I said so. Now give!"
The three boys reluctantly touched the stars hanging from their necks and summoned the red balls that transformed into their wands. After a soft flash, the three were left clutching three rods that were twice their heights with shining stars at the top.
Ayako nodded and produced her own wand. She tapped the boys' stars and words formed above their heads. The same word formed above the two friends. The three young ones slowly read each letter.
"F-L-I-G-H-T."
"Uhm…Teacher what does fleegghht mean?" Hanamichi asked.
"The word is flight Hanamichi. It means that the last spell that you and Youhei used was the flight spell which just proves—"
"You little idiots almost ruined my homework!"
The four jumped as a hulking apparition popped up behind Ayako gripping the formerly flying sheaf of paper . Takenori Akagi was a senior whom Hanamichi and his friends particularly loved to play jokes on. He just looked so funny when he got angry and started screaming like a gorilla.
"Now, now, Akagi I'm sure these two didn't mean any harm," Ayako suddenly turned and tried to pacify the huffing boy. Whether they were guilty or not, Ayako still felt responsible for her students and so she always tried to protect them from others. Of course that also meant that being their teacher, she was the only one allowed to punish them.
"We was just practicin'" Youhei piped up.
"See," Ayako said placing both hands on Akagi's chest to stop him. "They probably saw someone do the spell and decided to see if they could do it."
"That still doesn't excuse them! And they're still too young to be doing advance level magic! Just how the heck did they learn that trick? Have you been teaching them that?"
"I learned the spell from mom!" Youhei proudly declared.
"There you go. They learned it from Youhei's mom."
Akagi turned away.
"Something weird is going on. These pranksters should only learn ABCs and how to identify which picture is what!"
"I know. They do that. But they have powerful parents whom they probably take after and Master Anzai told me not to discourage them from practicing spells."
The two looked down at the three faces staring up at them.
"Whatever! I'm going to my class!"
Hanamichi and Youhei heaved a sigh of relief as the door closed. They grinned at each other.
"You think you're already safe, do you?"
Ayako's scary face loomed over them and they eeped in fear. Kaede just smirked at them. In order to distract his scary teacher somehow, Hanamichi suddenly pointed to the word hovering above Kaede's wand.
"Hey Teacher, what does that word mean?"
Ayako straightened up and looked over at her other student. Kaede also squinted up.
"Oh, it says find."
"Eh?! Find what?"
Kaede just shrugged.
"A quiet place to sleep. You're too noisy!"
ARC: Yeah, yeah I'm borrowing a lot from Harry Potter. Please don't sue me!
