Welcome to the new chapter. Thank you to all those who reviewed, and to those who didn't review…well, meh. As for what pairings I'll be doing, it is as listed below:
Yullen
Lenalee x Lavi
Before you all pout and start raving at me about how other pairings are better, I just counted the number of each pairing in the reviews, and obviously if certain characters are taken, I can't put them in other relationships, and I am very sorry, I can't really write threesomes. But if you have any other pairing ideas NOT involving the above people, feel free to tell me. Oh and anonymous reviews are allowed, I made sure of that.
Now you probably don't want to listen to me yabbering on all the time so here's the next instalment.
'Ne Earl, when can I see Allen again?' pouted a very bored Rhode Camelot.
The Earl simple chuckled before patting the girl on her head.
'We will see them again in due time, now have you finished your homework like a good girl?'
'Do I have to?' she whined, 'I wanna go out and play!'
'Now if you finish your homework in an hour, you can come with me to meet our new…partner'
Immediately Rhode perked up, the idea of a new play toy was very appealing to her.
'Ok!' she chirped as she dashed off to finish her homework, a sadistic grin stretched across her face, 'don't you dare leave without me!'
It was safe to say Umbridge wasn't angry at all. No, she wasn't, instead she was at the other end of the spectrum, she was furious.
Not only did the Potter brat refuse to remain silent, continuing to spout drivel about how you-know-who had returned, absolute nonsense. There was also that exchange school, Rose Cross Academy, she had looked it up and it hadn't turned up in ANY of the registers, clearly they weren't an actual school. They were probably the private army that old fool Dumbledore was hiding; after all, they did use strange weapons.
Despite all that, a nasty smirk crept onto her face. She had gotten Fudges permission to 'inspect' the classes, and to remove any teachers that she felt were 'not up to her standards. Those exchanges would be out of here before they knew it.
Bypassing the line of students, taking a moment to glower at the Potter brat (who was not in uniform she noted disapprovingly, completely disregarding all the others who weren't in uniform), that were waiting out side of the classroom of the exchange subject 'wandless magicks', Umbridge swept into the room as if she owned the place. Unexpectedly she was greeted by a working Rose, whose was busily writing up notes on the blackboard.
'Hem-hem'
Twisting her body, the youthful teacher turned to look at the toad like woman.
'Ah, Dolores, how may I help you this fine day?'
'I believe you were expecting me'
'I was?' stated Rose with a faked confused expression, knowing exactly what the woman was talking about.
'Yes' replied Umbridge nastily, 'I believe I sent a note before hand, I am now high inquisitor and will be conducting inspections to check that the classes are … appropriate.'
Rose pretended to hmm for a moment, 'If you sent a note then it may be sitting somewhere on my desk under a pile of scrolls. But never the less, you are welcome to "inspect" this class'
With that, the girl turned back to the blackboard to continue her notes, a clear dismissal, Umbridge feeling miffed just sneered at the girl, mentally looking down upon her as she hand wrote the notes when she could have just used magic.
In no time, the notes done and the students filed into the classroom. Rose looking amused at some of the outfits that the students were wearing.
'Welcome back to wandless magicks, I'm glad to see that all of you remembered that today we're doing a physical skills test, but before that, copy the notes from the board and make sure you pay attention to them. They will be very important later during the skills test.'
So there was a flurry of quills and parchment being whipped out and soon the room was filled with the noise of scratching quills.
As this was happening, Rose slowly ambled among the desks before stopping in front of one Lavender Brown.
'I believe miniskirts, tube tops and five inch heels are not suitable clothes for any prolonged physical activity Miss Brown, in fact the only activity they are good for is when they are to be removed before a certain activity.' Rose stated as she waved a hand over the very red Lavender, transfiguring her clothes into a pair of leggings, a plain red t-shirt and runners, the rest of the class suppressing laughs.
Rose continued with her walk to stop in front of Draco Malfoy.
'I also believe jeans that barely stay on ones hips are very impractical Mr Malfoy, in fact jeans in general are normally a very bad idea if you want to do exercise'
Several Griffindors laughed outright at this, with the exception of the few that did wear jeans as well. Much of the note taking continued in this fashion, Rose walking around the class, altering a few outfits here and there, subtly informing the class this was NOT a fashion parade. Then it was physical examination time.
Standing in two distinct huddles of Griffindors and Slytherins, the Hogwarts students watched as the exchange students demonstrated what was to be done.
Allen (whom Rose had taken pity on later and resized a couple of Lenalee's uniforms to fit her and altered them slightly more to her style) was in charge of testing people's strength.
Lavi (who was still suffering slightly from anaemia) was to test people's endurance and reflexes along with Kanda (who was being a bit more of an arse than usual).
Lenalee (who found the whole situation highly amusing) was testing people's flexibility and other miscellaneous skills that they may or may not have.
In one corner, an extremely excited Umbridge sat there scribbling furiously, noting every little thing that she could to get the exchanges kicked out. Well, that was until a shrill shriek permeated through the air. Stunned by the abnormally high decibel, Umbridge looked up at the scene unfolding before her.
'OMG! Those are limited edition Valkyrie's Den hair ties! I heard there are only 5 in the whole entire world!' squealed a certain pug nose Slytherin who was now prancing around Lenalee with a look of hero (heroine? After all, Lenalee is female) worship on her face, inspecting the hair ties in the girls hair from all possible angles.
Lenalee on the other hand just looked stunned.
'Rose, why didn't you tell me they were so valuable? I couldn't accept them if they are worth so much!'
'That's exactly why I didn't tell you' stated the teacher massaging her temples, 'but I believe we are getting off track here, we are here for CLASS, not for a fashion club.'
And so class continued, Pansy sticking close to Lenalee, bombarding the poor girl with all sorts of non-class *coughfashioncough* related questions, Rose looking somewhere between horrified and amused by the classes physical abilities and Umbridge scribbled away in her little corner.
If only Umbridge knew what was coming in the afternoon.
And that's it for this chapter. What? It's too short? Well I was kidding about the end of the chapter, but hey, it looked like a good spot to finish.
Kanda: Just get on with it; I refuse to be stuck in a place full of pathetic magical wannabes!
Geez Kanda, chill, it's only for a to be confirmed number of chapters. Honestly, the nerve of fictional characters. (All: Hey!) But to be honest I think he's just miffed about Allen's … situation. Any way, TALLY HO!
People were settling in for an afternoon of classes, magical theory, a bit of wand work if they were lucky, potions with Snape if unlucky. Our lovely exchanges were waiting outside alongside the Griffindors who dared to take Defence of the Dark Arts with everyone's favourite ministry issued toad lady. Of course after Umbridge's obviousness in trying to dig up scoop on them, Lavi and Allen had cooked up a little prank to play on Umbridge.
Upon entering the classroom, no one noticed as Allen stuck a small round ball to the door frame, and when the last person entered and closed the door, there was a sudden BANG before the stunned student was engulfed in a puff of bright red smoke.
The students closest to the door coughed as the smoke dissipated, revealing a very red student. Now by red I don't mean embarrassed, I mean red. Their previously black robes were now crimson, their bag a deep wine red, their hair was a bright strawberry red and even their skin had a reddish tinge to it.
'What's going on here?' snapped Umbridge as she bustled over to the red student, examining the kid from head to toe.
'Looks like a prank Professor' stated Lavi neutrally, mentally laughing at what was to come.
'I can see that Mr Bookman,' she sneered as she tried to undo the prank; she succeeded, only to be engulfed in a puff of green smoke.
Instead of her usual pink array, Umbridge now stood in a lurid green frog suit with a horrified look on her face.
Letting out a squeak, Umbridge attempted to change her clothes back. Except the problem was every time she did, her outfit changed to that of a different breed of frog. She was dressed as a bull frog, poison dart frog, the golden bell frog and many others before eventually giving up when her outfit made her look like an over grown cane toad.
Somewhere along the line, one of the students (the Griffindors suspected it was one of the Rose Cross students, as they were enjoying the show a little too much) had gone to fetch Professor Flitwick to help solve the problem. Allen's and Lavi's eyes widened, they hadn't planned for this.
'What on earth happened Dolores?' questioned a highly amused Flitwick who had seen the last couple of transformations.
'Some FOOL,' spat Umbridge, 'decided it would be extremely amusing to prank one of the students. When I went to rectify that prank, THIS happened.'
'Were you the only one to reverse the spell that was used for the prank?'
'Yes' was the hissed reply.
Flitwick nodded sagely, putting the fact that when Umbridge tried to reverse the spell on herself her outfit changed and that when she reversed the spell on the unlucky student the spell passed to her together. He understood that whoever attempted to reverse the spell was affected by the spell.
'Well, I have never encountered anything like this before,' murmured Flitwick hesitantly, knowing exactly how to reverse it, but not wanting to, 'I will do my best to find a counter charm but I would suggest asking Minerva for help, it appears a large amount to this spell lies in transfiguration. Well good day to you.' And with that he was gone, leaving a seething Umbridge behind.
Silently, both Allen and Lavi breathed a sigh of relief, to only stiffen when they felt a disapproving glare digging into their backs from Lenalee. Slowly they turned to smile sheepishly at their friend.
Lenalee surveyed two of her best friends who were currently sitting in seiza in front of her, heads bowed out of supposed shame, most likely cackling with unholy glee under those masks of repentance.
Losing her stern stance she sighed, nothing she could do would make them feel bad or stop them from playing similar pranks in the future. Why couldn't they be like Kanda and not play pranks on everyone around them?
A sly smile then crossed her face, speaking of Kanda, she had noticed that he seemed unusually flustered when Allen was in the room lately and she was pretty sure it wasn't because Allen was currently a girl as this had begun way before that. Maybe it was time to do a little matchmaking. To bad Allen was currently a girl right now, because honestly, they would look so good together as a yaoi pair.
Resisting the urge to squeal, Lenalee composed herself before images of male Allen and Kanda going at it with each other carried her away. Instead she pulled out a bucket of soapy water and two toothbrushes and plonked them in front of the pair of pranksters. Feeling amused by the sudden widening of their eyes as they comprehended what the task presented to them entitled, she cheerfully left the list of instructions (comprising of 24 tasks in total) Rose had originally given her to distribute among the four of them to the whitette and the red head.
As she left the room, she decided that Allen and Lavi weren't such a bad yaoi pair either, but in her not so professional opinion, Allen and Kanda looked so much better together. Maybe she should enlist help of Rose to get those two stubborn idiots together.
Now THAT is definitely the end of the chapter, and to all my lovely readers out there please, please, PLEASE review. I promise that I will update ASAP if you do. Now that was a quasi satisfying bit of Umbridge bashing, but look out for more in the future. And I'm pretty sure I accidentally screwed up the time line a little, because Umbridge didn't become high inquisitor until later right? But oh well, it works out in my story. If you really don't like it that way though please tell me because I will fix it, but not necessarily immediately afterwards, cause I will need to rethink the story line. Oh well, that's enough of me babbling on and on about nothing so R&R and the next chappie will be up soon (hopefully).
