Chapter Five: The Details

"Very well." Dumbledore said happily. "Now first of all." He waved his wand over Levy, Wendy, Mira, Erza, and Makarov. They all glowed yellow a moment, then became normal again.

"What was that?" Wendy asked.

"That was to keep you from aging during your time here. Any aging they do-" he gestured at the five kids and exceeds, "-will be reversed because of the side effect. They will be a little younger looking than before they left, by the time it is time to leave, but hopefully they will be back to normal when they get back, same as if they had left right now. But I'm sure that if you five age, it will not be reversed. However, of you wish the spell lifted for any reason at any time, I will gladly do so. And the spell will need to be refreshed every two years, by someone not me. The spell only stops aging for two years, and a wizard can only have the spell cast on them once by a certain wizard. After all, if you could cast it indefinitely then you would be immortal."

Suddenly, Lucy swooned a bit. Natsu was there to catch her, and hold her up. "I'm fine." She muttered, pushing away from him. She had been steadily growing weaker since the small headache when they were discussing whether to accept the job. She stumbled a bit, and Natsu grabbed her again.

Levy rushed over to her. "Lu's weak." She said. "Now would be a good time for your ethernano jewelry."

Quickly understanding the situation, Dumbledore grabbed the jar on his desk. He fished out a little gem. "Have her hold this."

Levy grabbed it, and placed it in Lucy's open hand, whose fingers curled around it. Soon she was pushing Natsu away, and inspecting the small gem.

"That was incredibly quick." She said. "Normally it could take up to a quarter hour waiting for that much magic energy to fill up. This does look like the ethernano from the Tower of Heaven. But where did you get it from?" She looked up at Dumbledore on the last question.

He shrugged. "My Father left these in my possession." He indicated the jar. "As to where he got them from, your guess is as good as mine- probably better even." He passed the small gems around. "Minerva, if you will open the top drawer on left of my desk then you will find a plain wooden box. Will you place that on my desk, open?"

Mcgonagall complied.

"I have the chains and such in there. For the necklaces and bracelets I have several pendants and charms for you ladies. I also have some brooches, if you wish for those instead. I am no expert, so I had all my lady professors choose them out. Also, the more inconspicuous your choice is, the better."

Lucy chose first. She settled on a necklace that had the pendant rest just above the collar of her dress. The pendant was shaped like a dragon, and the dragon curled around the gem like a vine. It was a cool effect. The chain, as well as the dragon, was a silvery blue.

"Special reason you chose a dragon Lu?" Levy gave her a playful nudge.

"No. I just thought it looked cool." Lucy scoffed.

Levy went next. She decided on a book shaped brooch to put on her trademark yellow headband. The gem was set into the corner of the book's cover. She pinned the small brooch right where the headband met her hair.

Natsu and Gajeel chose rings to wear on their pinky fingers. They were nothing fancy, just simple silver bands with different carvings on them. Natsu's had a cool looking dragon. Gajeel's also had a dragon, but a different kind. The dragon rings had the gems as the eyes.

The Exceeds got collars that were actually bracelets looped around their necks. Happy had a fish with the gem as the eye. Carla had a bow like the one she usually had on her tail, with the gem separating the two loops. Pantherlily had a sword with a gem on the end of the 2D hilt. On the back of the pendants were their names and their dragon slayer's names, just like a normal collar.

Wendy had a cute blue leather bracelet with wind designs on it. The gem was set in the button clasp.

Juvia chose a thin almost-a-choker necklace. It had a blue heart-shaped pendant with lighter and darker blue swirls through it that created the effect of a swirling ocean. The gem blended in perfectly with the swirls.

Mira chose a ring with an angel and demon carved into it. The two were beautifully detailed and were holding up the ethernano gem together, as if it was a magic sun or god that they worshipped. She chose to wear it on her left middle finger.

Erza settled for a charm bracelet with various swords and cakes and armor helmets for charms. The blue gem replaced a pink strawberry on one of the cakes.

Gray simply decided to put the ethernano gem into the cross shaped necklace he normally wore, the gem at the top of the up-pointing stem.

Makarov decided to also put the gem into something he already had, his brooch that showed he was one of the Ten Wizard Saints. The gem went in the very middle.

"Now that that's done," Dumbledore said, "I can explain more about the job. I already said that you will be protecting a certain student. This student is named Harry Potter."

"Juvia knew it!" Juvia muttered.

"Harry Potter is a special student." He went on to explain about the fall of Voldemort, and who Harry was. He also explained about the prophecy (though not in full detail), which he had the teachers leave the room for.

"I see why he would be important." Lucy said.

"Yeah, if he's why this Moldyvort guy is going to die, then it would be important that he's alive." Natsu said.

"Voldemort." Lucy sighed.

"So our job is to make sure he makes it through school?" Mira said.

"Yes, and to protect the Sorcerer's Stone." Dumbledore nodded. He explained about the stone, and why Voldemort would want it.

"That one is definitely important." Lucy shuddered.

"Indeed." Dumbledore nodded again.

"So how are we going to do this without being found out?" Wendy wondered.

"Isn't it obvious?" Mcgonagall scoffed. "You six will be students, those three Exceeds will be pets, and you four will be teachers." She pointed first at the six kids, then at the Exceeds, then at the four who were the normal (adult) age.

"Before that is confirmed, what is your magic?" Dumbledore asked. "Father explained about how each individual excelled at one type of magic, rather than a variety like here in Earth. Oh, and if you could give a non-destructive display, that would be great." He gave a knowing smile.

"I use Fire Dragon Slaying Magic." Natsu said. He sucked some air in and slowly let it out, so that only a small stream of fire was breathed out, rather than his normal destructive Roar.

"Iron Dragon Slaying Magic." Gajeel turned his right arm into a gleaming sword.

"I use Sky Dragon Slaying Magic." Wendy said, also demonstrating a small roar that ruffled the teachers' hair. "I can use Healing and Support Magic too. Um, Ms. Erza, could you. . . ?"

"Of course Wendy." The red-haired woman said. She summoned a small knife, and gave herself a small cut on her other palm. Wendy put one glowing green hand over it and the wound quickly closed up, leaving only a white mark that faded before their eyes.

"You will not be a student." Dumbledore declared. "Our own students would do well to know that magic. You will teach. Please continue."

Next was Erza. "I use a special magic called The Knight. It is a special Requip. Requip! Heaven's Wheel!" She glowed, then appeared with her Heaven's Wheel Armor, which she soon sent away, replacing it with her normal Heart Kreuz armor. "I can also summon weapons as well as other things, as you just saw."

Mira stepped forward. "Take over! Satan Soul!" She transformed into her Satan Soul, then back to normal. "I also use normal Transformation Magic." She gave herself a beard exactly like Dumbledore's.

"That would have come in handy long ago." Dumbledore sighed. "You and Ms. Scarlet will be Professors. Requip and Transformation will be handy."

"I use Solid Script." Levy said. "Solid Script! Fire!" The word 'fire' appeared in midair. Natsu was quick to jump at it and have a snack.

All the teachers were extremely surprised at that last one. "Fire from nothing? And he ate it?!" They were more surprised about the eating than the fire-out-of-nothing thing.

"One of the quirks of being a Dragon Slayer is that you can eat your element. So can God Slayers, but we don't have any with us." Wendy giggled shyly.

"We use Aera Magic." Happy said, displaying his wings, which Lily and Carla did too.

"I also have a battle form." Pantherlily grew. "In Edolas, this is was my actual form. Earthland couldn't support it full time, so I was granted the power to switch back and forth. Simon, another Exceed we know, could do this too." He switched back.

"Juvia uses Water Magic." Juvia turned herself to water. She played a bit with the water in a cup Dumbledore had on his desk.

"I use Ice Make Magic." Gray said. He did what he had done when first telling Lucy his magic: he created a Fairy Tail symbol of ice.

"I use Giant Magic, among others." Makarov said, then enlarged a hand and used a bit of wind magic to ruffle the teachers' hair.

"That's all of us, right?" Lucy looked at all of them.

"I have decided. Ms. McGarden, Ms. Scarlet, Ms. Strauss, Ms. Marvel, you four shall be teachers. You will teach Runes, Summoning, Human Transformation, and Healing and Support respectively. Ms. Heartfilia, Ms. Lockser, Mr. Dragneel, Mr. Redfox, Mr. Fullbuster, you shall assume the roles of students. Mr. Dreyar, you will be the assistant caretaker. Mr. . . ." He looked at the Exceeds.

"We don't have last names." Happy said apologetically.

"Then, Mr. Happy, Mr. Pantherlily, Ms. Carla, you shall act as pets." He waved his wand. "You will appear as a normal cat to any who do not know your true nature. Speaking will break the illusion. Mr. Lily, transforming will break the illusion. Using your flying magic will make you appear as owls, but if you activate your wings in front of anyone, the illusion will break.

"Now, in our society we use wands to perform our magic, much like your Holder Type Magic. To blend in, I have some specially modified wands that will allow you to easily use our magic despite not having any wizard blood." He pulled another box from his desk, this one a lot larger than the the box with the jewelry, and that one had been quite large. He opened it to show a lot of wands, all differing in size and color, and all with a special runes carved into it near the bottom. The wands were separated from each other with a soft black velvet cloth.

"Choose whichever feels right." Dumbledore said. "I do not have a large variety, but the runes should not make it too difficult."

Natsu, always the excited and brave one, stepped forward first. "I just choose one?"

"Whichever feels like the best match. When you think you've got the right one, give it a wave."

Natsu inspected each one, trying to act like he knew what he was doing, and doing his best not to break any. Finally, on his fifth one, he decided to wave the short wand. An orange flame erupted from the end, twirled around him happily, and dissipated in a puff of smoke.

"Oak, dragon heartstring core, ten and a quarter inches long. Good choice." Dumbledore said.

The process continued until they had all gone. Because the author is too lazy to describe each situation, the author is going to give the readers a list that has everyone's wands. The author will put the core, the wood, and the length for each person in that order. Actually, the author isn't going to put the lengths. Make it up in your own minds.

Lucy- Unicorn Hair, Holly,

Erza- Thunderbird Feather, Redwood,

Juvia- Mermaid Hair, Beech

Gray- Phoenix Feather, Applewood (I hope that's a thing, like, wood from an apple tree?)

Mira- Kelpie Hair, Dogwood

Gajeel- Dragon Heartsting, Acacia

Levy- Winged Horse Feather, Blackthorn

Wendy- Dragon Heartstring, Maplewood

Makarov- Fairy Wing, Willow

"Now keep in mind," Dumbledore said, "that I have extra ethernano gems, but not extra wands. If you lose your wand, than it is gone for good. We can get a new one during Summer Break, but during the school year. . .well, we would have to treat you like any other student and fail you on your classes due to an inability to perform the task. Although you teachers can easily call a sick day and hop down to Diagon Alley to collect a new wand from Mr. Ollivander.

"Those that are posing as students, keep in mind that all rules that apply to the Hogwarts students will apply to you too. There will be some exceptions, which shall explained to you as needed.

"Tomorrow we will Apparate you to the train station. Two or three of you will pretend to have known each other before tomorrow, and the rest of you will pretend not to have known each other before today. You will sit together on the train, thus having an excuse to hang out together at Hogwarts. Makarov and I will create plans to create you a secret meeting room.

"As for now, it is getting late. Minerva, introduce our new teachers to their new offices, classrooms, and sleeping quarters. Our new students may sleep in an empty classroom, if you would conjure them some sleeping bags. And do not worry about school supplies, robes, and such. We will take care of that. Now, get lots of sleep. You will have an early start in the morning."

Dumbledore added one last thing as they left. "Minerva, Severus, Pomana, Filius, Hagrid, please keep this a secret from all other staff."

AN: Well, we have the job details! There will be one more chapter (for first year) that the idea is rather obviously stolen from Starway1123, but not until. . . *checks chapters*. . . chapter eleven. Also, now that I've looked, chapter fifteen is a little bit idea stolen, but it'll work out? Of course, both are slightly modified versions of Starway's, but the original ideas are still his/hers, of course.
