A/N: Wow, I got a surprising amount of reviews for the chapter. *Grins* Glad ya'll like it, and, for any Kuwabara fans out there, his will be in it! He will play a part in this story, because I noticed in most YYH x HP stories he's always said to be to stupid and he's out. Though, I'm not a big Kuwabara fan, I think the guy deserves break, and I like including all the characters in my stories, no matter how little I like them, I always try and give them some kind of a part. Ü Oh, and one other thing, if you haven't read the Seen and Unforeseen chapter all the way to the end of Ootp, then this story will have a lot of spoilers for you, starting with this chapter. Sorry, but, if you don't mind being spoiled, or you've read the book, then, ENJOY!!!
"…….So that's our mission, ok, that sounds easy enough." Yusuke mused. Koenma nodded.
"It is, but, don't let your guard down, that place had high security, and we must strike at the exact right time, if you all mess it up, you failed." Botan grimly reminded.
"So uhh…..what about Hiei? I mean, if he's gonna' be teaching at some school, shouldn't he know some magic to do with one of those magical sticks?" Yusuke asked.
"I don't think I've ever heard a more ridiculous description or name for a wand." A deep masculine voice chuckled. Everyone except Botan and Koenma whirled around to the entrance door, ready for a fight……only to be met by a grinning man no older than in his late 20's with short messy black and hair and black rimmed glasses. He wore a plain green robe with gold lines decorating the edges, and in his right hand, he held a wand, which seemed to be connected to a thin line of some kind of magical rope.
"……Uhh….." Kuwabara and Yusuke managed to get in out their shock while Kurama seemed to be studying the magical rope connected to the wand.
"Ah, James, glad you could make it, but uhh……what's with the weird rope?" Koenma asked with a curious glance. James grin just got wider,
"Well, I remember you telling me I was to teach a short black haired demon, well, I literally ran into him and upon seeing he matched the description, thought you wanted him to stay, so I cast a spell and tied him to the unbreakable rope." He explained.
"……You tied up the shrimp?! OOH!! I gotta' see this!!" Kuwabara exclaimed as he peered past James and followed the rope with his eyes. Yusuke and Kurama followed closely, and saw a very disgruntled Hiei tangled up in a mass of rope, he scowled at them, as if daring them to see what he would do if they snicker or leered.
"……Should I free him?" James uncertainly asked to Koenma as he noticed the Reikai Tantie's reactions.
"Well, I guess it would be wise, after all, Hiei is a hard one to get to cooperate, we had to make Mukuro make hundreds of letters commanding him to all sorts of stuff just for this mission incase he chooses not to. So, I guess you all should try to start on a good foot, right?" Botan pondered to himself.
"…….Oh, alright, umm….." he muttered the reverse spell and the roped disappeared, much to Kuwabara's dismay, and Hiei glowered his "friends".
"Thanks for helping me out out of the ropes, you were a great deal of help." He sarcastically muttered to them as he passed them.
"Well, they guy did say it was unbreakable." Yusuke defended, but was quickly silence by Hiei's death glare, "Never mind," Then, once Hiei went back into the office, he glared at the sheepish James.
"And ningen, don't ever do that again!" he threateningly growled at him.
"Hiei, James here is the one who will teach you the basics of doing magic with a wand, you have 2 weeks and 4 days to get it down, then, we give you 3 days to get the things you need, during that time, I'll be working on getting you the job." Hiei gave him a disbelieving look.
"You mean, you're forcing me to do this, and the job isn't even guaranteed to be mine?!" Hiei exclaimed. Koenma nodded.
"Yep, but, I assure you, you'll get the job." Koenma assured him, but, this got Kurama thinking.
"……Does this school have the same kind of holidays and breaks like a normal school?" Kurama asked. Botan shrugged, it was her turn to answer some questions.
"Kinda' they have Christmas breaks, Halloween breaks, and the Summer breaks, (I don't remember if they have fall or Spring,) but they don't have anything else, except Valentines day, but, that's all. And they do have the same school schedules though,"
"……I see, so the breaks are simultaneous?"
"Yeah…."
"Then, it's the middle of the school year there, how is Hiei to get a teaching job there now for this year?" Kurama asked. Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for either Koenma or Botan to answer.
"Well…." Botan hesitantly began, "A
woman named Umbridge will be firing the current Divination teacher, and the
Headmaster or principle, Dumbledore, will be appointing the new Divinatio
teacher, in exactly 3 weeks from now, that Hiei, is where you
come in." Botan explained, "While you're learning the basics, which should be
enough to convince Umbridge you are certified, for she will be watching for any
excuse to fire you Hiei, and we can not allow that, the Reikai,
Makai, and some people who know what's going in the Ningenkai will be working
behind the scenes to make sure Dumbledore picks you, now, Hiei, you must
hide the fact you're a demon, and it will not be easy, the people there
are…..highly observative, including the students, so, on top of
making sure you convince Umbridge you're perfect and she finds nothing"
and she stressed the word nothing, "wrong on your teaching skills and proof or suspicion that you're a fraud, you must keep
everything behind tabs, so, we'll be making up a past for you, and we'll tell
you what it is once we think it up. Then, well, the rest of the mission will go
on." Botan lamely finished.
"……But how am I supposed to teach those kids if I don't know what to teach?! 'Teach them the things you do with the Jagan' you say, but how?! I need the Jagan to do those things, and none of them have any Jagans on them!!" Hiei growled.
"Well, I have faith you can think up a way, Hiei. Just think of a way that makes it seem you need more than a semester or two, you can do it, besides, I'm sure James can help, right James?" James got a sheepish look,
"Actually, the only thing I know about Divination is people have different view points of what it is, so, you don't need to do the Tea leaves or anything like that, you can make up your own style." He suggested with a shrug, "I'm pretty sure no one in that class really listens enough in that class to know whether what your doing is legit or not. They'll probably be sleeping through the whole thing anyway!"
"Huh, my kind of class!" Yusuke said with a grin. Then, Koenma cleared his throat.
"Actually, some of things have to be legit, because, they have exams, these tests called OWLS that determine what classes the students will be doing next year, and another batch of tests called NEWTS which will determine what they will being doing in their future." Koenma added.
"…….Fine, I think of a way…..somehow, now then, when am I to start my learning?" he asked with a disdainful glance to James.
"Once we get you your wand of course!…….but I can't go with you while you're getting it, my death was kinda'………famous." Everyone except the Koenma and Botan gave him "What the hell are you talking about?" looks, but didn't ask.
"So why is the revolt happening in the first place?" Kuwabara asked.
"No one knows, they just stampeded into the Makai waving their wands around like they own the place, will you believe they actually destroyed Jin and Touya's territory. Kuwabara gawked at Yusuke like he was joking while Kurama seemed surprised by this.
"That strong? I know for a fact Touya and Jin have become stronger because it's just the two of them now."
"But it's true, they managed to make it to Mukuro's castle, that's how we managed to prepare for the inevitable attack." Hiei explained.
"Yeah, Puu was the one who warned me, and at the time, Yomi was with me, we were having a meeting so, he raced back to his territory to prepare too." Yusuke said.
"…….Well then, I guess you all had better get to Daigon Alley! And go buy your wands, I'm sure you All can find the shop on your own!"
"What alley?" Yusuke asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Maybe it would be easier if you just did some disguise spell." Koenma muttered. James nodded in agreement.
"Agreed." James muttered.
A/N: And so ends this chapter. What are the other missions? How will Hiei think of a way to not get fired by umbridge? How will James keep Hiei from trying to kill him while he tried to teach Hiei the basics? Well……..you're just gonna' have to wait, ne? (and don't worry, I will be changing some things around that happened in ootp, for I will have to, things are different now. ^_~) R&R!!
