Woo! Sorry for the wait I guess! Baby is just starting on solids… so the week before that I slept for less than 4 hours a night. Bleh. Not to mention we both caught the flu. Woot. Thank god for the Canadian government at times like this. Free $60 prescription just because it WAS the flu.

Yay for Sasuke being back!

"Aw man… we only have ten minutes to eat?" Naruto whined.

Kiba nodded in agreement with the blonds' sentiment.

"Stop complaining you guys." Sakura shook her head as she walked over from the Ravenclaw table. "What we should be worried about is the time we don't have to prepare for classes!"

Harry and Ron gaped at the pink haired girl with astonishment. Hermione smiled and stood to introduce herself.

"I am Hermione Granger. I'm Head Girl for Gryffindor and I also help students after classes with their studies."

"Haruno Sakura." The kunoichi smiled back. "I assume we'll all be part of your after class study group seeing as we've never learned your type of magic."

By now the whole group had converged on the Gryffindor table. The boys of the Golden Trio eyed the Slytherin two with distrust.

Sai smiled sweetly at them. Karin raised an eyebrow.

"You know, we're not suddenly evil just because we got sorted into Slytherin."

"No you're just evil." Sakura sneered at the redhead.

"You love me." Karin shot back.

The two continued bickering as Sasuke, Lee, Tenten and Suigetsu joined the group.

"Ha! You guys have to go to class!" Suigetsu laughed. "Sasuke and Lee are running a class for fitness and Taijutsu strictly."

Naruto glared. "Oh yeah? And what do you get to do?"

"Top secret." Suigetsu smirked. In Japanese he said, "I'm watching the grounds in my liquid form and Tenten here is setting traps with her weapons skills."

Naruto nodded, somewhat placated. "It sucks you wont be with us, but at least we still get to see you during the day."

Sasuke shrugged. "Whatever, I'm not really looking forward to teaching a bunch of lazy snot nosed kids."

The group laughed and were given looks by the English speaking table.

"Sasuke isn't thrilled about teaching." Sakura edited as she translated. "Suigetsu is just teasing him. Oh!" She blushed. "This is Sasuke. That guy over there is Suigetsu. Lee is the guy in the vest and Tenten is the one with the buns."

Sasuke nodded to the group, Suigetsu smirked, Lee and Tenten both bowed slightly.

"I cannot wait to start our class Sasuke-kun! Teaching the next generation is the very definition of YOUTH!" Lee posed.

Ron opened his mouth to say something but Hermione slapped her hand over it.

"And we can't wait to start either!"

"That is most excellent!" Lee stuck his thumb up in the 'good guy' pose. "I will train your bodies until you feel the burn of YOUTH!!!"

The entire group of ninja's sighed.

Edward Elric puttered around his classroom. He hadn't been given very much time to come up with a curriculum plan or anything but he figured just going with the basics of alchemy first would be a good start. Perhaps circle drawing 101. The blond laughed to himself.

"I can't believe I'm 19 again… fucking weird." He shook his head.

Then, without realizing what he was doing, he had clapped his hands and transmuted his arm into a sword and swung it around to meet the blue and red eyes of a stranger.

"Can I help you?" He raised an eyebrow and wished he was his old height. He hadn't been shorter than another person for a long time.

The man that had seemingly appeared behind him gave the impression of smiling. His blue eye wrinkled and his cheeks rose minutely but his red eye remained open.

"Oh no, I just wanted to introduce myself." The man poofed out of reach of the sword and reappeared in one of the rows of seats. "I am Hatake Kakashi."

Ed clapped once more and retransmuted his arm back to its original shape.

"Edward Elric. And I'd appreciate you not sneaking up on me. I tend to hit first and ask questions later."

"I gathered." Kakashi replied dryly. "What exactly do you call what you did to your arm?" The silver haired man gestured to Edward's right arm.

"I'm an alchemist. That was a transmutation where I took the metal of my arm and lengthened into a sharp point. When I retransmuted I also fixed my glove and jacket sleeve." Edward smirked. "In my country I am known as the Fullmetal Alchemist."

Kakashi nodded. "Your left leg is also made of metal…" He poofed closer. "Remarkable design…"

Edward stared in shock at the black marks that moved inside the man's red iris.

"What the hell is wrong with your eye?" He exclaimed.

"That is the Sharingan. Given to me by a close friend." Kakashi shrugged but didn't elaborate.

The blond had opened his mouth to ask more but was interrupted by yet another poof of smoke.

"There you are Kakashi. Classes start in ten minutes and we're not done preparing yet!" Iruka glared daggers at the silver haired man.

"Ah… Sorry Iruka!" He quickly pulled his hitai-ate down over his red eye and smiled apologetically. "I was just talking to Edward-san here…"

"I don't care for your excuses. Get back to the class please." Iruka scowled harder.

Kakashi grinned and poofed out of the room.

"I'm sorry if he bothered you." Iruka bowed. "I am Umino Iruka."

"Edward Elric. And it was no problem at all. Mostly informative actually."

"Yes Kakashi tends to be that way." The brunet nodded. "I'm sure you also have classes to prepare for. We'll be seeing you at dinner." He smiled as be poofed away as well.

"Man that would have been so cool if I could have done that back in Amestris!"

-

"Hello ladies and gentlemen of YOUTH!" Lee gushed exuberantly. "I am Rock Lee and you may call me Lee-sensei! This is Sasuke Uchiha and-"

"You are to call me Sensei. Nothing more nothing less." He activated his Sharingan and glared at the crowd of students gathered next to the forest. "As you can see we've gathered near the forest. This is to keep damage to a minimum."

Murmurs of 'damage?' and questions thrummed through the crowd.

"We are going to be providing a demonstration of our abilities so that you will endeavor to reach your highest limits!" Lee posed.

"Keep in mind that most likely, none of you will advance to our stage of skill. We've been training since we were born." Sasuke muttered. His red eyes flickered over the crowd and he pointed at Harry. "You seem to be fairly fit. And I can tell that you have a high amount of chakra… or magic as you call it." He rolled the word like it was a bad taste in his mouth. "You will probably excel in this class."

"Please try your hardest!" The Green Beast of Konoha cut in. "We will be marking you based on your participation and effort, not skill or talent!" Lee smiled encouragingly. "Now, we will do a very quick demonstration of our skills… please let me know if you cannot see us as we've never sparred in front of non-ninja before."

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"You don't need to be so nice to them you know. You're a teacher."

"I prefer to encourage and foster friendship Sasuke-san." Lee smiled kindly. "Let us begin!"

"Hello and welcome to 'Circle Drawing 101'." Edward snickered at the class before him as they looked on in confusion. "Ok, I'm kidding. This is basic alchemy."

The class started to whisper to each other excitedly. They noticed the various plants and random sheets of material at the front with new eyes.

"In this class you will learn how to transmute a variety of materials from one object to another." He eyed the class. "Now I've been told that some of you have grown up in non magical homes and took basic school classes. Have any of you ever taken a chemistry course?"

The blond noted a few raised hands and chose the girl that was practically jumping out of her seat.

"Yes Miss…?"

"Hermione Granger!" She put her hand down and pulled out a quill. "I was wondering why we didn't get textbooks for this subject sir." Her cheeks flushed.

"That is a very good question Miss Granger. The answer is that for the most part, I will be teaching you all something never before seen on this planet. Unless you count World War II. But that was all hushed up and kept under wraps."

Half the class looked confused once more.

"World War II was a war fought between most of the world… hence the name I suppose. I was 19 at the time myself." Edward almost laughed at the incredulous looks he was receiving. "I am just over 100 years old at the moment. I don't look it because of the Philosopher's Stone that I carry."

When the room went dead silent at that he looked at his class in his own confusion.

Hermione raised her hand but was beaten to speaking by Harry.

"There was only one and it was destroyed." He stated matter-of-factly.

"Yes, I've heard something about this… Nicholas Flammel if I'm not mistaken." He sighed. "But like I said, I will be teaching you something never before seen on this planet." He clapped his hands and touched the chalk board beside him. A circle with dizzying patterns and strange markings appeared to the shocked gasps of the class. "This is a human transmutation circle. Alchemy's first and greatest taboo."

The class fell silent once more.

"In alchemy you circle your own energy in your body. The circle that you see on the board is basically the blueprints and guidelines for the energy to create what you ask it to. There are different circles for different transmutations." He clapped again and touched the board. This time it was a simple circle with only one triangle in the middle and three smaller circles inside. "This is a simple circle for most basic transmutations."

He checked the class to make sure he had their attention. A few people were jotting down notes as he spoke and he smiled.

"Basically the only rule for transmutations is equivalent exchange." He stopped and called on Hermione who was bouncing in her seat again.

"Is it similar to balancing a chemical equation? Mass, energy and friction?"

The blond nodded happily at the girl.

"Exactly that only, the energy in this case is not heat but our own 'magic' as you would call it." He crossed his arms and continued talking. "You cannot transmute an object to be bigger than it is already without additional materials. For example…"

He grabbed a vase off the desk he was sitting on and smashed it on the floor. The flowers fell about and the water splashed everywhere.

"This vase is in pieces, the water is everywhere and the flowers are dying."

He clapped his hands and held them over the vase. It reassembled with the flowers and water inside.

"Now if I wanted to add more flowers…" He grabbed some leaves off of the potted plant sitting next to the desk. Clapping his hands once more, he placed them over the vase. Two green flowers appeared. The class 'ooh'ed and 'ah'ed appropriately.

"Once you get really good you can do things like this!" He smirked as he threw some dirt on the ground and splashed water over it. He put one of the potted trees in the middle of the mess and then clapped. When the light cleared there was a small paper balloon floating in the middle of the room. He clapped again and the balloon exploded into a cascade of colorful flowers. "Your homework for tonight is to tell me what that transmutation was. What I used to create the balloon and what elements where expended when I created the flowers."

The class groaned. Edward heard a redhead at the back murmur about homework on the first day.

"And yes, you will be receiving a lot of homework from me. I got my state alchemist's license when I was 12 so I expect a lot from you all."

He smirked at the groans that came from his class and sat down.

"Tomorrow we move on to the three principles of alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone. Have a good night."

The bell rang and the class left with excited whispers about their next class.
