Ayame looked up from her book and the notes she had been writing; her golden eyes rapidly blinking in stunned realization. "How did Tsuna con me into teaching for an entire year at a magical school that I practically know nothing about?" she asked, shocked.

Next to her, the infant hitman snorted. "You only realize this now?" Reborn mocked.

Ayame's eyes narrowed. "Careful Reborn-san," she said. "Tsuna's requirements about playing nice didn't include not throwing you out the train window."

"You can try," Reborn snarked back.

"Is it really such a bad thing to be teaching for a year?" Fon asked from the seat across.

"No, of course not. I just took a sabbatical leave from my job for a year," Ayame said sarcastically. "To teach a bunch of students that I'm probably not going to like on a subject I taught myself over the course of two months in a foreign country that the entire supernatural world considers to be a backwards, mediocre, stuck in the Dark Ages, pigheaded culture, of course I'm just peachy about the idea."

"And all Tsuna had to do was smile and ask you nicely to do so," Reborn said, smirk tugging on his lips.

"Like you aren't the same," Ayame hissed. "That's the reason why you're here with me!"

"You make it sound like this is the worst thing that's ever happened to you," Dino said, the last occupant in the car.

Ayame glared at him. "Right, so it's going to be your shoulder I cry on when I have a breakdown."

"If, not when," Dino corrected. "Beside I expect it. Who else shoulder are you gonna cry on? Reborn's?"

The sound of a ten ton mallet hitting Dino's head filled the train cart.

"Baka Dino," Reborn said. The unspoken promise of 'remedial training' was heard in his words. Nursing a new bump, Dino whimpered.

"You walk into that that one," Fon said unsympathetically.

"This is going to end badly," Ayame muttered, despairing. She glanced out the window where Hogwarts could be seen in the distance. "So badly."

Reborn and Ayame really don't like each other (understatement of the year). These are the four "Adults" going to Hogwarts. What could go wrong? If you want to know more about Ayame, read We Weren't Born to Follow :3
