Hello! I'm happy that people actually read my story :D SO here's the next chapter.
Oh and i forgot to say, Toshiro is around 4"9 maybe 4"10. [Growth spurt! xD] so he can fit in a bit more, but still be short! The Chibi taicho must stay chibi! :D

The New Mission
"Taicho?" Matsumoto asked when she walked in and saw her captain sitting at his desk with piles of paperwork, high above his head. One of the reason's the didn't like to even step into the office, but at this moment she was happy she did with the hilarious sight before her.
"Matsumoto, get this off of me," he said through clenched teeth. She looked at him grinning like mad.
"Why, whatever do you mean taicho?" Rangiku said, hint of teasing in her voice. [Taicho, never really was good with animals...] she thought, trying to keep eye contact. "I don't see anything, but your..." she stifled a laugh, "White hair."He was livid but took a breath.
"In case you haven't noticed but, THERE'S A DAMN BIRD ON MY HEAD!" It was true. A snow white barn owl was at the moment happily perched on the annoyed chibi taicho's head, blending right into it's... nest. Matsumoto couldn't hold back her laugh, and practically doubled over in pain from laughing too hard with tears in her eyes. Oh no, not just because it was sitting on his head. No...
But because, as he tried to shoo the blasted bird away, it would hover over his head a while avoiding the taicho's flailing arms. When Toshiro stopped it'd land back on his white head and peck at his face, leaving a red mark right at the center of his forehead. He repeated over and over until eventually Toshiro fell over his chair from frustration, and lack of balance, and one stack of paperwork on his desk went in every direction. That was why she was laughing.
Toshiro then proceeded to get off of the ground. He was dusting himself off, giving up on the massive amounts of paper all over the floor. He realized the owl was no longer on his head, but on his 3rd seat's arm while she pet it, lovingly. [When did she get here... wait, how much did she see?].
[About all of it, Master.] Hyorinmaru answered him.
[Damn...] He hid his blush of embarrassment by beginning to picking up paperwork.
"You're not good with animals are you, Toshiro?" It sounded more like a statement then a question from her.
"It's Hitsugaya-Taicho to you, Ootori." he said coldly looking up, and the still smiling girl. She shook her head, placed the animal on the couch. Matsumoto automatically began to play with the animal, ignoring the mess.
"Yeah, whatever." she said, bending down and helping to pick up. The bird began to peck at his desk and picked up on of the papers with it's beak. Kana took the paper from it's beak and saw it was an envelope. "You guys it's a messenger owl, it was waiting for you to notice the message before it could leave." To prove her point she walked to the window and released the bird, which flew away without a trace of it ever being there, well besides the red mark still on Toshiro's forehead... She looked at him and smiled, "You got a red mark on your head," she pointed to the center of her own forehead, "Right there." He grumbled and rubbed the red mark.
"What's the message?" Rangiku asked. Kana then looked at the envelope, gave Toshiro one, and kept one addressed herself.
'Kana Ootori
Captain Hitsugaya's Office
10th Division
13 Court Gard Squads
Soul Society'
It said on hers. She looked up to the others who also got something similar. They looked to each other and began to open the letter Matsumoto looking over both their shoulders to read:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL

"Is this some kinda joke?" Toshiro said when he finished reading over the letter. She looked back at the envelope.
"I don't think so," She said looking at the top right hand corner of the page. There was the signature and seal of approval from the Soutaicho himself. It was authentic alright.
The second page with requirements says:

"Okay," Kana said, rereading the paper over and over again. "Yeah, either the soutaicho finally got a sense of humor or this is serious. And I really don't think it's the first one..." she said folding the paper to put it back in the envelope.
"Yes, but why did only Ootori and I receive one?" he said turning to his pouting fukutaicho who was searching for her nonexistent letter all over the desk.
"Yeah," Matsumoto said, "I didn't get one."
"Well, we're about to find out." Kana said. They turned and saw her looking to the window and saw what had her attention. A Hell butterfly was coming towards the office window. When the butterfly ignored her outstretched finger she thought, [Why do they always do this?]. The black butterfly then landed on her nose. Toshiro smirked at his 3rd seat.
"Turn around, so we can all hear the message." he told her, smirk not gone.
"No." Kana's back still to them.
"Turn," [Damn it, Toshiro.] she cursed in her head and turned. "You're not very good with animals, are you Ootori?" He said, happy Karma was on his side for once. He had to actually suppress his laugh, it was hard to take her seriously with a butterfly on her small nose, her blue eyes crossing slightly looking down.
Before she could retort the message was recited: "The Soutaicho has ordered: Hitsugaya-Taicho, Matsumoto Fukutaicho, and 3rd Seat Ootori Kana, all of the 10th division for a meeting in 5 minutes, regarding the letter you have received. You will be informed of a mission to the world of the living." with that the creature lifted itself gracefully from Kana's nose and left out the window.
"We better get-"
"Yay!" Matsumoto squealed, interrupting her captain but squeezing him in a bone crushing hug, "The world of the living! We haven't been able to go since..."
"Last month, but still it's good to get out of this office." she answered and looked to her superiors. "And Matsumoto, you're killing him," Kana told the buxom woman hugging the now blue-faced taicho. She released him, and apologized sounding more humorous then sorry.
They headed out to the meeting room, letters in hand.
"You have no such business to be watching the news!" Uncle Vernon yelled. Harry had been watching the news almost everyday since he returned and his uncle was livid, exclaiming how he wasn't a normal boys and how he should have left him outside when Harry was first left on his door step and such and such. Uncle Vernon pushed him into his room, making Hedwig move and rattle her cage, "Nothing in our news has to do with your kind! And shut that bird up!"
Harry was once again sent to his room, without dinner for 2 days. It had been about a month since Harry's been back from Hogwarts and Cedric's murder. When ever he thought about that night he was always left with unanswered questions, most about the strange people in the black robes with swords. He remembered them clearly, and like they asked he didn't tell anyone. They had saved his life, and is they were trying to kill Voldemort, then he didn't see a problem with trusting them.
But still, who..what were they? Why would they want to kill him? Unless they wanted to kill harry for themselves... Should he have told Dumbledore about them? Or at least Ron and Hermione? But his parents trusted them, so he should to right? Either way, it was a rare day Harry didn't thin about the 3 mysterious people who helped him.
[There were 3... 2 girls and 1 boy] he remembered.
The first girl wasn't even scared of Voldemort! She didn't have any fear what so ever of him, which was surprising. She was about his age, how she looked, a bit on the short side. He remembered specifically her blue eyes. He couldn't describe him, they weren't like ice, they were more alive, confident, but not cocky like how Malfoy was. She was dark haired, and lightly tanned. She seemed innocent at the beginning, but even though she was immediately cold and commanding.
The other looked older, with long orange hair. She was wearing the robes loosely that showed cleavage, and a pink scarf draped over her shoulder. When he saw her, he, for some strange reason, thought of a mother. She had icy blue eyes which reassured him. Voldemort had controlled her to attack what seemed like friend, thinking about how surprised the first girl looked.
He suddenly remembered the girl said something that sounded like, 'Mat-so-moe-toe'. Harry grabbed a pen and wrote it down, maybe it was some sort of spell the girl was casting, or maybe it meant something important. Anything to get him answers. Maybe they were wizards since the younger girl had made a shield appear from no where without a spell or wand! That was when that boy had helped him.
The first thing he noticed or ever thought of was him was his white hair. No one could have that kind of hair, and then his teal eyes were cold and hard. They were mature and responsible, which didn't go with his young appearance at all. The boy was younger then him, he looked around 13 at the most. And he was the only one wearing a white coat and with a plus on the back in white.
Was the plus a symbol for something? Are they some sort or rebellion or something? If they were then wouldn't they join Voldemort, not try and kill him? And what was with the swords?
But then the questions that made harry have not even one possible answer. Not one that wasn't completely ridiculous, or impossible. [Why hadn't the Avada Kedavara, the killing curse, work on them? And If the killing curse didn't work, why did the Imperious, and Crucio did?] They had doubled over in pain and were clearly being forced.
They couldn't be dead, they were actually fighting with him, pushing Harry out of the way to protect him from Voldemort's killing curse. [Were they immortal? No immortal lived forever but they could still be killed.]
Who ever they were, they tried to kill Voldemort, and saved Harry.
"Hey!" he heard Dudley yell through the door, "Guess what? I'm going to the amusement park! And your not!" he heard Dudley laugh, and then heard his massive footsteps climb down the stairs.
Harry sighed and rolled him eyes and looked to Hedwig. She looked like she was asleep, so he pet her softly and let her be while looked out the window. He heard footsteps some up the stairs and his door open.
"Boy! Mrs. Figg cannot take you, so you will have to stay here. But boy I swear if one thing is broken when we get back you'll have no food for a week!" he threatened. Harry nodded and looked back at the window. The door closed with a loud thud and foot steps went down stairs.
There were the Dursley's piling into the car, and drove off. Harry decided to sneak into Dudley's room and use the computer to look up the word he wrote down earlier.
At the meeting...
"You requested for us, Soutaicho." Toshiro said as he and the group bowed in respect to the Captain Commander.
"Yes Hitsugaya-Taicho. On your last mission in the world of the living, you stated seeing, a man being revived from the dead."
"Yes."
"Also that they were using some thing close to Kido, apparently using some sort of 'wand' to access it, as to what the living men said."
"As ridiculous as it may sound, yes. I listed everything my team and I saw. But excuse me asking, what does this have to do with our next mission?"
"Of course," the Soutaicho said, "You see, long ago we discovered living humans able to use Kido only with the help of certain tools. They referred it to 'Magic', and people who would access the Kido, Wizards. Hence your letters.
You will be sent to a school that trains the living to control their magic. Since the powers were being controlled, and none of the laws were broken we didn't interfere with them. They believe us to be extinct, but know of our existence. Although some of their information is inaccurate."
"If all if fine," Kana asked, "then why are we being sent?"
"The man you saw being revived was a infamous dark wizard." he said. "He broke one of the most basic laws of our society: After death the soul is sent to either Soul Society or Hell. He killed many with his killing curse, which does not affect us, considering we are already deceased and the curse only works on the first stage of death. But people he killed with that very same curse, it appears that the hollowfication is speed up 5 times as fast. If you had not sent the soul of Cedric Diggory, within only a few days, he would have become a hollow, instead of the months it originally takes."
"So we are to defeat this man, Voldemort?" Toshiro asked.
"Yes and No, The wizards have a prophecy, of a boy named Harry Potter, the same boy you saved from Voldemort." he said, earning a few faces of slight surprise, "The reason he is so famous is because when the killing curse was cast on him after the murder of his mother and father, Voldemort lost all of his power, and Potter lived. He is known all over the Wizard World as 'The-Boy-Who-Lived'. It is said that Potter is the one to defeat him.
"I have spoken to the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, and explained our situation. Though he will be the only to know, none of the students or teachers will be informed, besides the head of the house you'll be staying. You will learn of the houses later. He informed me that the Ministry of Magic, a sort of government, refuses to believe Voldemort has returned and to acknowledge him." he said, "There will be someone from the Ministry as a teacher. The defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Dumbledore-san predicts that she will not teach the students what they will need to know in the near future, considering that we have a suspicion."
"A suspicion?" Matsumoto asked. The soutaicho nodded.
"Yes, but it is simply a theory. Nothing to concern of, yet." People were barley recovering from the Winter war, they had to prevent another blow from Aizen, [The bastard's dead and he's still a damn problem].Toshiro thought. "As such," he continued, letting the previous information sink in, "Hitsugaya-taicho, you, and Ootori, will be posing as students in Hogwarts. Matsumoto fukutaicho you will be an assistant for the Ministry Teacher. Shihoin and Urahara will also be accompanying you. Urahara will pose as a teacher teaching Kido, Yoruichi will mostly be in her cat form, as a pet, like the letter allows you." He saw they were taking in the information.
"You will also be apart of a group: The Order of The Phoenix. In this group are other wizards who purpose is to protect Potter, as well. Potter is not to know about your association, along with other students in The Order, unless Dumbledore-san decides to. You will leave today, Urahara has set up arrangements for Hitsugaya taicho, Shihoin, and Ootori to stay with a Mrs. Figg. She knows of wizards, though has no powers herself and lives by Potter and his guardians the Dursley's. Matsumoto and Urahara will be at Hogwarts, with other teachers." he continued as they nodded.
"Urahara will inform you of your status in school, among other minor details. Over all, you are to protect Hogwarts and it's students from hollows, and protect Harry Potter, Do you understand?" he finished.
"Hai, Soutaicho." they said in unison, "You will go to Urahara's first. You will need a Gigai while in the human world but not in Hogwarts and Urahara will be giving you a wand and take you to purchase the rest of your school supplies. From there you will depart to Britain." then they bowed and left.
Harry had figured out Dudley's password easily and logged onto the internet. He put in 'Matsomotoe' in search. "did you mean Matsumoto?" came up as a link and clicked, thinking that was better, and found different links. Matsumoto was a city located somewhere in Japan, it was also apart of some history something to do with castles, and location, also saying it means "Base of Pine tree" which he didn't understand at all. Why did the girl call out a place?
He kept reading to find out it was a last name... that made a bit more sense. So whoever they were they were Japanese, why would they be there?
He closed the browser and logged off. He needed to clear his head so he decided to take a walk. Making sure he had a watch and his set of keys he walked out of the house.
"I'm ready," Kana said while she walked up to the gate to the living world, meeting up with the white haired captain "We're gonna be there for about a year right?" she asked him. He nodded his head,
"Yeah," he crossed his arms and looked for his lieutenant.
"You don't sound to happy about that," she said looking at him. Hitsugaya sighed.
"I'm not, it's much to long. And with the paperwork back at the office won't get done with all three of us gone." She chuckled and he looked to her, "What?" he quirked an eyebrow at the dark haired girl.
"When are you gonna get that stick out of your ass?" she chuckled at the glare she was receiving, and saw Matsumoto coming in the distance. She finally arrived, after about an hour.
"You're late." he said, as she stood next to them.
"Sorry, Taicho" she said. Kana shook her head.
"Lets just get going," she said, "Imma get a wand!" she yelled, making other shinigami stare. Matsumoto giggled, while Toshiro rolled his eyes. [Why do I have to baby sit these two?]
[Well maybe for once you can actually relax.] Hyorinmaru said.
[I'm a Captain, I can't relax] Toshiro looked at his lieutenant practically jumping up in down waiting for the gate to appear, [Besides making sure these two don't kill themselves in a job hard enough]
[Well Matsumoto will be at the school with Urahara, you'll spend some time with Kana] his voice had a bit of teasing in it.
[And why would i want to?] he said, ignoring the small blush trying to appear on his cheeks. The gate opened and 3 hell butterflies appeared.
"To Hogwarts!" she said exclaiming dramatically and walked through, Matsumoto followed while Hitsugaya rolled his eyes at her behavior, but could help but smirk just a bit before it was replaced by a scowl.
So like? Hate? Just wondering(: Momo does have a part in this, I'm going to say even though Aizen's dead, doesn't mean his hypnosis is gone, just dormant. :)
I know I made the meeting long, but some people just make the Soutaicho send them to Hogwarts with no real details so when they do something i get confused on what the real mission in and why. I hope i made sense and didn't overload you with my babbling!
Review?
