Chapter 6! Hibiki makes explanations SO MUCH EASIER! Time for school! I think I might end up putting Maximum Ride in next chapter…
List of people on the team: Remus, James, Sirius, Peter, Lily Evans, Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Nico, Carter, Sadie, Walt/Anubis, Zia, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Erza, Gajeel, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Panther Lily. Hibiki will just come along for explanations.
Lily (White): Natsu, don't destroy the school the first day. Please wait.
Natsu: Why?
Lily: NATSU!
Erza: Don't worry. He won't. Right, Natsu? *glare*
Natsu: Aye!
Lily: *Sigh* On with the story!
Remus POV
I woke at an untimely hour to the sound of fighting. There was a lot of yelling, and random bursts of fire and ice flashed by my window. I stuck my head out and saw a building I was sure was not there last night, along with a bunch of people fighting. A bell started ringing and I figured I'd better go downstairs. When I got down to the first floor, the rest of the 'team' was already there, along with a pink haired guy in a tussle with a gray haired guy who wasn't wearing a shirt (?), a red haired girl in armor (?), a little girl with blue hair (A metamorphagus?), a guy with black hair wearing armor (What is with the armor?), three winged, flying cats: one blue, one white, and one black (?), a blonde girl staring at her companions and shaking her head sadly, and a guy with a giant glowing computer hovering in midair in front of him.
"Hibiki, file 5 subsection 2," Ms. White told the guy with the computer, and all of a sudden a button saying 'download' was on top of everybody's head.
"Are we all being claimed or something?" Percy asked Annabeth, who stared at him.
"Obviously not, seaweed brain. The glowing signs say 'download'. What kind of godly sign is that?"
Percy nodded. "Oh," he replied intelligently.
"What's going on?" Peter asked me.
The glowing signs disappeared, and suddenly I knew everything there was to know about everybody in the room (except the gods) and the whole situation, including what had just happened. Needless to say, I was impressed.
"Wow," everybody except the new people and the gods chorused in unison. Natsu (I'm just going to refer to everyone by name now) and Gray started laughing, but were shut up quickly by a glare from Erza.
"Come on, everyone! School time!" Lily led us away to get ready for school.
*Timeskip: They're standing in front of the school building, except for the exceeds, who will spy on them throughout the school day without being noticed.*
Lily Evans POV
We were standing in front of the school. Twenty galleons says at least a quarter of the people here haven't even been to muggle school before. And we're on an undercover mission? We'll stand out right away. Here we were anyway. We got our lockers and schedules. On the lockers, we were all either next to each other or across the hall from each other. Our schedules all looked like this:
1st Period: Math
2nd Period: Language Arts
3rd Period: Science
4th Period: History
Lunch
5th Period: PE
6th Period: Art
7th Period: Study Hall
Right off the bat, Natsu punched a smoking hole in his locker because he couldn't open it. Like I said, so much for 'undercover'. Well, at least he didn't destroy the school. Off to first period math. We can totally do this… right?
Annabeth POV
We all needed to get to class, and hope no one noticed the hole in Natsu's locker. I used the map to lead everyone to the math classroom, where everybody in the class had to introduce themselves, including something they enjoyed doing. Great. We started with the wizards, then the demigods, then the magicians, then the… other wizards who arrived this morning.
"I'm James Potter, I like pranking other students!" James exclaimed, and the rest of us basically followed suit.
"Sirius Black, and I am a way better prankster than him."
"Remus Lupin, one of two people who can control those two."
"Peter Pettigrew, and I do whatever those three do."
"Lily Evans, and I just want to get good grades without… distractions." This was accompanied by a meaningful glare at those who came before her.
"Percy Jackson, and I am a sword fighter."
I glared at him. Idiot. "Annabeth Chase, and I love architecture."
"Jason Grace, I'm also a sword fighter."
"Piper McLean." Piper didn't say anything more, and the teacher accepted it.
"I'm Leo, and I love building things and fire."
"Hazel Levesque, valuable jewels and metals."
"Frank Zhang, um… archery."
"Nico diAngelo," he paused, "life." Really, Nico? Life?
"Carter Kane, archaeology."
"Sadie Kane, hanging out with my friends."
"Walt Stone, and I'll have to agree with Nico about life."
"Zia Rashid, fire."
"Natsu Dragneel, fire!" He was bouncing up and down, and I heard him tell Lucy that this was much better than Erza's school. Erza glared at him.
"Gray Fullbuster, ice."
As I was sitting relatively near him, I watched, shocked as everyone else, as Gray tore off his clothes. Really, he needed to get a new habit.
"Gray! Your clothes!" Lucy shrieked at him, and he sheepishly ran off to find something to wear. The teacher then assigned him detention.
"Lucy Heartfilia, spending time with… my friends." Thankfully, she had caught herself before saying 'the guild.'
"Erza Scarlet, strawberry cake."
"Gajeel Redfox, fighting."
"Wendy Marvel, being with all my friends."
At this point, Gray walked back into the room with a new set of clothes on and was informed about his detention.
And that was all of us. I wondered what the teacher would think. Everyone in class seemed shocked by the array of people in our group. To be honest, so was I.
The rest of math class when by pretty quickly; just a pre-test. Most of our group failed completely. I just hope no one will be expelled for bad grades, but from what Percy says, I doubt that's even possible. Next period: The torture of attempting to read and write for the demigods.
Lucy POV
After the math test, which I think I did okay on, it was time for language arts, which I got Sadie to explain to me as advanced reading and writing. Another chance for Natsu to completely fail. I wondered briefly if you got sent away for failing all your classes. For the sake of the mission, I hoped not.
In language arts, there was a writing assignment. Everyone had to come up with a short story. I did okay, but I think most of the demigods and Gray and Natsu failed utterly.
As we worked, Percy kept stopping and complaining to Annabeth, who forced him back to his work after seeing what he had written. I was kind of curious, but didn't have time to see what he was writing, because Natsu was complaining to me that there was too much work. By the end of the period, I'd convinced him to write about four sentences and his name:
Natsu Dragneel
There was a boy who lived with a dragon. Then the dragon was gone. The boy found friends. The end.
I know, not impressive. Since he had no ideas, I told him to write his life story, because apparently, to people in this place, it was fantasy. I doubt Gray did much better. However, at the end of the period, Erza turned in ten pages full of writing, double sided. Gajeel and Wendy both managed a couple of single sided pages.
Of the other wizards, only Remus and Lily even turned in an assignment. The demigods turned in assignments mainly because Annabeth forced them, and the magicians only did it for the sake of staying in school. So much for 'school spirit.' Next period: Science. According to Percy, that was where the objective was to blow things up. We might actually all get top marks.
Percy POV
Science was my best class. Seriously. So, naturally, this time, instead of getting mad at me, Annabeth got mad at the class. She was appalled that this was considered learning. Oh, well.
Pre-test: If you got under a certain time to blow something up, you got an A. There was another time-mark for B, and so on.
So we all sat down in front of flasks of… something and the timer was started. Almost immediately every flask for the guild wizards exploded. I saw the timer at seven seconds. Why such a short period of time, weren't we expected to use logic to somehow magically come up with an idea to explode it?
And er, if I may ask, why am I flying through the air among rubble which once was the Science Room? Apparently, it exploded as well. These people were good.
I managed to make my solution explode in about thirty seconds, but by that time, just about everyone but Frank and Hazel had succeeded. And everyone had been dramatic about it.
The guild wizards: Natsu with a huge burst of flame, Lucy with the power of one of her spirits (Loke, I think his name was), Erza with her lightning armor, Gray by freezing the thing (Apparently, it was effective), Gajeel by mixing 'dragon iron' in (That worked as well for some reason), and Wendy using air to make it separate and fly everywhere (which the teacher counted for some bizarre reason).
The wand wizards: They waved their wands and said "Incendio!" in perfect unison, and there was a huge burst of flame.
The magicians: Carter summoned some kind of weapon and smashed the bottle into all the others, resulting in completion of the assignment, Sadie said "Ha-di!" and had a real, ground-shaking explosion, Walt did some kind of shadow thing and it vaporized (the teacher counted that too), and Zia went with fire.
The other demigods: Since the building was gone, Jason summoned lightning, Leo lit the thing on fire, Nico did a shadow trick similar to Walt's, and Piper and Annabeth actually mixed the correct solution.
I smashed the thing into the garbage can (Hey! It worked last time), and after me, Frank and Hazel just poured random liquids in until it exploded. We all got A++s, and were under a minute. For the rest of the time, we watched the failed attempts of others and laughed as the teacher tried to puzzle out exactly what those of us who used magic had done. I wondered briefly what would happen to the science room, and if we would be expelled for it. We did get detention.
Gajeel POV
School was boring. That's the best word for it. Do this, do that, and do the other thing. Right now it was 'Go to history!' Come on. History was dull. As I thought, it was a long lecture we were supposed to take notes on. Probably the most entertaining thing in the entire class was watching Blondie try to convince Salamander to write. Finally, it was time for lunch. Something not as structured and strict. This should finally get interesting.
