This is a Harry Potter & Familiar of Zero Cross Over Fanfiction Only.

I looked at her and smiled or at least I tried to smile, "Magic is a force of nature, it is in everything that is alive, it flows through all creation, and thus to learn what I will teach you, you first must understand. I am not like your previous teachers, I do not accept foolishness and distractions from my student. My teaching of you must be quick and will be severe, do not expect me to hold back simply because of your age or your so-called noble status."

I began by pushing my magic in my hand and sending it to the ground forming a makeshift cauldron, "You can not use elemental magic because your magic is not the magic that influences or adds elemental power, it is a magic that removes elemental energy. Your peers add, your magic takes. I see that in your mind you will have to attend a festival that requires you to have a familiar. This will show you that indeed I know what I am doing, maybe even make you understand why I can teach you when no one else could."

Water began to boil in the cauldron and different roots and plants began to fly into it. I cut them with my magic by waving my hand and stirred it with my other hand. As soon as the smell hit my nose I knew the potion was complete. "Prick your finger on this, and drop a single drop of your blood in the potion. Before I do anything else tell me what you expect from your familiar?"

She did as I told her, even if she did not look happy doing so, "I expect my familiar to obey my commands, to be my servant and live his or her life for my benefit." I imagine this is why the spell to summon her familiar failed, no living creature would ever want to be treated as a thing, and especially not one that could understand humans. I better teach her something else or no potion I can make will have a chance to succeed.

"A Familiar is not a servant, he is your friend, you most trusted friend. A familiar may do things when asked, but it is because the familiar cares about the person asking. Morrigan cares about me, as I care about her, she would die to protect my life, and she knows I would never place her in jeopardy without due cause. You want a familiar to show off, that will never work, you should want one to be your best friend and constant companion."

The liquid changed colors from green to red and finally a deep purple. I knew the potion was ready. "If you want to see your familiar, drink that potion and repeat after me. From ages past I call upon you, you whom are tied to my soul and are my precious friend, heed my call and appear before me. Let our old friendship be what it was once upon a time."

She didn't look like she wanted to even touch the potion but I looked at her and finally she took a small sip of it, she kicked the cauldron and as she said the words the potion began to change shape, the fumes became more solid and the figure of a small animal was seen forming from the place she spilled her potion.

"Who is it that dares to summon me? Answer me mortals for my time is as limited as my patience." She stepped closer to the dark form of the being she just summoned. "Place your hand on his head and send your magic into him. Tell him of your intentions!"

She did as I told her and began smiling the most gentle smile I have seen on her, "My name is Louise, I summoned you the friend of my soul, to join me now and be with me in my time among the living. Come to me Kobu, and give your old friend a hug."

I didn't tell her that name but it seems the creature liked the name, as it jumped through the dark film that had once covered him from head to toe, the image was of a white wolf, it was smaller than the one I saw once in an old picture book. In my world, they were called the Siberian Timber Wolf.

The first thing it did was jump at her and tackled her to the ground as he rubbed his head on hers, and as she was done laughing, she began to get up and as soon as they were both near each other, Kobu bite her hand, her hand began to bleed and she was scared until I stepped closer to her and told her to wait for a second.

The blood did not drip from the wound, instead, the blood began to shift and change, I knew exactly what was happening, Morrigan, as she was sitting on my shoulder, began to laugh. The blood changed into this dark crimson mark of an animal that looked like Kobu. "He was not hurting you, Louise, unlike your familiar summoning, this is your familiar mark. He can live inside it, and thus you two will never be separated again. You can even listen to his thoughts as if they were your own."

'Thank you, Morrigan for showing me the potion and incantation.' She pecked my ear lightly and as she returned into my mark I heard her say that for me she would do anything.

As Kobu saw he too entered the mark and for some reason, Louise began to laugh like she was being told some rather funny jokes. "Now you have your familiar, now be honest with me, do you still wish to learn more from me? As I told you I demand dedication and precision from my students. I will not accept anything less, and I can be quite the taskmaster."

She finally finished talking with Kobu as she finished hearing my words. "Yes, I want to learn magic that nobody knows of, I want to learn everything you can teach me." I began to look at her and decided to accept her as my first and so far the only student. I could not help but smile as I heard the eagerness in her voice to learn new things.

"Very well, we shall begin your instructions tomorrow in the afternoon, this should give you two some time to get to know each other better. I will warn you that he feeds of your magic while inside the mark, so don't be surprised if tomorrow you find yourself with a little more appetite than usual." I saw someone I just met not so long ago and she didn't look happy for some reason.

"Now Louise, I must go, it seems the Headmaster has decided on my future role in this school. Be nice to your familiar, and your familiar will do the same. As soon as I go, the two of you can start to talk with each other. You have quite a few things to talk about." She began to laugh and I knew she was already talking with Kobu.

As I walked over to the green haired beauty, I could feel something close to anxiety from her. "Ms. Longueville I gathered the Headmaster has decided my fate, has he? I also see from your expression that he did something again to upset you. Worry not, I shall not do something of a perverted nature to you. Should I go to meet the Headmaster by myself or would you like to accompany me there?"

She actually thanked me for telling her I could go by myself, honestly, the Headmaster should be a role model, a person students can look up to as a moral guide and as a guide on proper behavior. I mean my last Headmaster was gayer than Paris during springtime, but the man was never as perverted as this guy. Seeing the guy I am going to visit, I can say without a doubt he truly was a wonderful role model.

Why do I say this you ask? The second I entered his office what do you think I saw? That's right, he was breathing hard while looking at more porn than a teenager, and I mean books full of this stuff. From my own personal experience some of them reminded me of someone I dearly loved and miss, but the fact that the Headmaster was doing this in his office, made me angry enough that it took a massive effort to stop myself from burning it and him with it.

"Headmaster Osmond, I think you have a much more important thing to tell me than to look at drawings and images of half-naked women, don't you?" That finally made the idiot realize there was someone else in the room, I will say one thing, he sure can hide his porn stash faster than any teenager in my world.

"Ah, yes, I told Miss Longueville to tell you that we have reached a decision on your proposal to teach at this academy and the situation of your own academic achievements, and as such we have decided to put you in the second year of our Academy, while you might be a fully trained mage in your own world, we simply can not know if their level of education equals that of our world."

I was not liking this, "We also believe that since we have managed to get you acknowledged as a noble, that you need more time to acclimate to the world you find yourself in. By attending the classes with the other students you shall be able to probably learn a thing or two that you did not have in your world and you may develop your knowledge to be a proper nobleman."

It's true I was not liking this one bit. "So, in short, it doesn't matter that I am a full-fledged mage, that I can do things the teachers of this academy could not even dream off, they refuse to acknowledge my abilities because they think that belittles their own academic achievements, put it simply, they think that if they do accept my skills, they would be forever embarrassed by the fact a guy much younger did what took them much longer to achieve."

He stopped looking at a book and looked at me, "You sure are quick to understand the situation, in fact, you are correct, they even threatened to all quit if you skills were recognized. In other words, they said this, if that punk becomes a teacher we are gone. I know you would do a wonderful job in teaching a class, or even five of them, but I can not expect you to teach the entire Academy by yourself. It would be impossible for me to keep this place operational if that should happen."

I guess deep down I understood where he was coming from, and I do understand the feelings of my now future teachers quite a bit, I would also be embarrassed if something like that happened, but at least I would simply think of it as that student was the exception to the rule, and not let it bother me to the point of actually threatening the Headmaster of the school I work in.

If Osmond had a single cruel bone in this body, or if he was me for that matter, I would take their threats are being disloyal to the school, and I would actually do exactly what they threatened me not to do, I would call their bluff and see if they are willing to pay the piper when the chips don't fall in their favor. Chances are they would apologize and retract that threat immediately if they realized that they could actually lose their jobs, prestige and social status.

It didn't matter anyway, if they did name me a teacher, the students would never respect or listen to the teachings of a person that was younger, older or the same age as they are. Let's face it, I was the age of a typical second-year student, they would call it favoritism or the Headmaster feeling sorry for me and that would be the positive things they would say, I don't want to think about the horrors the other students might dream up.

I was given a room in the men's dorm, and enough clothes that I could wear for at least two weeks, that gives me enough spare clothing and underwear to be able to have a few pieces to wear when I finally have to do the laundry.

I came down to the mess hall and finally, I was about to eat something when I felt someone sit on the chair right next to the one I was sitting. "So are you a teacher or a student? From the looks of your clothes, I would say they made you the same year as I am." I am not going to mince words here, I don't like Louise, I don't like her one bit. I do however hate bullies a lot more.

"No, I will not be part of the teaching staff here anytime soon, I, however, will be your teacher from now on Louise, so mind your manners. So try to remember that I can change my mind and leave you to be called and mocked by being addressed as that lovely number you seem to hate so much." This made her become quiet from that moment on, till the food finally was being served.

To me, it was a useless gesture, or maybe I got so used to having my food magically appear on a platter before me. Most people in my original world considered House-elves to be nothing more than servants after I saw how they placed the food on my plate, I realized that I actually miss having Dobby to help me with things.

You truly never know what you had until after you lose it seems, I finished saying my prayer of thanks and I picked my fork when I finally heard something from Louise, "What exactly do you find lovely about the number Zero?"

I guess my lessons begin before I even had lunch, "For your information, the number Zero is a wonderful number, it symbolizes the beginning and end of all creation, a number that describes a vast emptiness and at the same time infinite possibilities. Without the number, you hate so much society and culture could not progress as much as it has."

I took a bite of the thing I thought was a baked potato, turns out it was but it was stuffed with this really nice creamy sauce. "Without the number Zero in math, for instance, you would never be able to could beyond nine. So you see Louise, the number you hate so much is a wonderful number, and while they think it means failure, it also means endless possibilities. That is something you will learn."

The rest of my meal was a salad involving fruit, nuts, and berries. I was simply loving the taste of it. The combination was perfect, not too sweet, not too bitter, everything in the right proportions to make it taste delicious. I saw a big, muscular man, with the biggest mustache I ever saw walk around the area and stopped to listen to what people said, to my surprise, it looked like they were complaining.

I looked at him and did as the rest called him towards me, which he did as the others, he walked over to where I was and was ready to apparently listen to me complain about the food, "I wanted to tell you that this food was delicious, it is the single best breakfast I could imagine. Thank you." I still don't know why he left the place where he was standing in such a hurry, I guess he felt insulted, must be that things are done differently on this dimension.
