"Well actually Harry that panda is Mr. Saotome and he is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher."
"We are going to be taught by a panda?" Harry was getting nervous at the decisions Dumbledore was making 1.
/Hey pops what are they talking saying?/ Ranma still in girl form asked of her currently panda form father.
"What did she just say?" Harry pointed at Ranma eagerly.
/What did he say?/
/I don't know! /Akane yelled at Ranma.
"How are they supposed.."
/to protect him if we don't../
"Understand each other?!" Harry stood up with his final words.
"It would seem you already understand each other quite well Harry." Dumbledore smiled as he got up and walked over to the red headed girl. /So you are Saotome Ranma correct?/ 2
/What's it to ya old man?/ Harry sat in shock at the tone this girl was using towards Dumbledore.
/Please put these on if you wish to accept this job and if you choose not to I can have you on a plane home with in a day./ Dumbledore offered seven necklaces to the group. Which were eagerly snatched by Genma on shoved onto each teen's neck.
"Can you understand me now?" Dumbledore carefully asked.
"Yeah it was the English that got me. I never really paid attention to that in school." Ranma laughed slightly.
"Aren't you speaking English now?" Harry jumped back into the conversation seeing his first chance.
"Huh? No I'm speaking...Japanese? Wait when did the kid learn perfect Japanese?"
"Well, right now because of those necklaces it sounds like your speaking English to us and to you it would be your native language." Dumbledore carefully explained to the shocked people.
"So this is the magic that westerners use." Shampoo carefully inspected the necklace she was wearing. 3
She just spoke in a complete sentence now she could even more annoying than usual
Akane twitched at the thought of the new Shampoo.
"So who are the other six people?" Harry glanced over the group noticing a weird vibration surrounding them all.
"May I introduce us?" Akane moved forward trying to take charge and quickly get respect from these westerners.
"Certainly miss." Dumbledore nodded before going back to his tea.
"Well I am Tendo Akane, the girl with the giant Spatula is Kounji Ukyo, the boy with the umbrella and bandana is Hibiki Ryoga, the one Red head is Saotome Ranma, the one with the glasses is Muu-Muu 4 Mousse, and the girl with the purple hair is Xiong Shampoo 5."
"Ummm.. okay I think I can remember that all." Harry looked at each face trying to connect names with them. "Well I'm Harry Potter." Harry braced himself for a squeal or something.
"Nice to meet ya." Ranma extended her hand.
"Uh...okay." Harry proceded to shake everyone's hand including Mr. Saotomes.
"So when are we going to get these wands or whatever you called them." Ryoga asked tentatively hoping it would be far away because so far Akane had led him everywhere holding his hand so he wouldn't get lost.
"That would be Diagon Alley dear boy and if you want when you reach the school we can solve your problem." Dumbledore finally had finished his tea and was handing a pouch to Akane. "Her is the money you will be needing with a little extra too."
"What problem does Ryoga have?" Harry turning quickly to Dumbledore waiting for an answer.
"Well you may want to ask Mr. Hibiki of that if he would wish you to know."
-----------------
"An interesting group you have brought me Mr. Potter." Slowly the shop owner, Mr. Ollivander carefully inspected each person making them cringe in turn before stopping in front of Ranma leaning even closer to her.
"What an interesting aura you have miss?"
"Yeah what of it." Ranma couldn't help, but shiver at the look in this man's eyes almost as if he saw through her.
"I just don't know many people who talk this normally after learning neko-ken."
The group gawked at this man spouting one of Ranma's secrets so easily with out a second thought.
"You leave my husband alone creepy man!" Shampoo quickly moved in between Ranma and this new threat.
"Your man? Excuse me, but Ranma honey is mine." Ukyo moved next to Shampoo.
"What are you girls talking about?" Akane put stress on girls to make them remember Harry who currently looked like he was impersonating a goldfish.
"Ummm... she is your husband?" Harry asked nervously.
"Uhhh.... Shampoo and me are thinking of another Ranma." Ukyo quickly blurted out.
"We might as well tell him later if we are going to guard him we might as well tell him my other secret!" Ranma finally spoke after getting over her shock.
----------------
"You're a MAN!?" Harry backed quickly away into the door staring at the now boy form Ranma.
"Yeah don't be so shocked about it." Ranma sighed trying not to get upset.
"Sorry it's just that... well you looked so much like a girl." Harry sunk to the floor trying to sort out the facts.
"I was a girl and I will explain one more time on how this works." Ranma grabbed the
aspirin before starting up the story again. "Okay see me and my old man were on a training voyage in China..."
---------Ranma flashback-------
"Here, sir. Is legendary training ground of accursed springs." The guide stated in a bad accent gesturing at the many springs behind him.
"Are you ready Ranma?" Genma asked his son.
"This place isn't so impressive." Ranma replied very unimpressed at the sight he beheld.
"You very strange one, no, sir?" The guide turned to his two clients. " This place very dangerous. Nobody use now. Is more than one hundred springs here...and everyone have own tragic legend!"
"Ranma follow me!" Genma ignoring the guides warning jumped onto the nearest bamboo pole.
"Ah! Sir! What you doing?" The guide called desperately after them as Ranma followed his father.
"I won't go easy on you." Genma warned his son going into a fighting stance.
"That's how I want it." Ranma called back going into his own stance.
"Please sir! Very bad if you fall in spring!" The guide tried calling back the two headstrong martial artists to no avail.
"OyShohToh!" Genam called out flying at Ranma trying to land the first blow, but his son easily dodged it sending his father into the nearest spring.
"Gotcha." Ranma laughed satisfied as he watched his father hit the water. "Pop? What's up? We done already?" Suddenly out of the water a panda flew out sporting what looked like the outfit his father was just wearing. "Yow! Wha? Wha? Wha?"
"That is spring of drowned panda!" The guide yelled from the safe ground at the confused boy. "There is tragic legend, very tragic, of panda who drowned there two thousand year ago! Now whoever fall in take body of panda!"
"Oh No!" Was the only reply Ranma could think of as the panda launched himself for another attack. "Wait a second you never said anything about.." Ranma did his best, but he couldn't avoid the fatal blow that sent him into a different spring head first to his new cursed life.
"Ohhh! Not spring of Drowned girl! There is very tragic legend, of young girl who drowned there one thousand five hundred year ago! Now whoever fall in that spring." A red headed young girl emerged from the spring wearing Ranma's clothing. "take body of young girl! You see what I mean?" Ranma pulled open his now her shirt to see two very perky foreign objects occupying his/her chest.

A/N-
1. Wouldn't you be nervous if your principal or what ever suddenly appointed a large animal to teach a class?
2. It would make since that Dumbledore is bi-lingual right how else would he set this up?
3. OMG!! Shampoo can now speak full sentences in this fic! One of the minor reasons was my computer has tummy aches when I type to long in Shampoo mode. So do the people I talk to because I develop her little speech problem.
4. Mousse doesn't have a last name so I gave him the last name that is used by the Chinese acrobat circus when they introduce him in duck form.
5. Shampoo has no last or hint of one so that is best I could do.
6. That is a direct quote from the first book I hope this makes you know how much I love my audience.
