I am so sorry!
I had assignments for uni so i haven't updated this in a while, i'm also having the issue of not having the 4th HP book with me which is annoying because i can't remember half of what happens at the beginning!
Luckily my sister is bringing it up for me this week so i should be able to write loads without skipping huge parts. This chapter is what i managed to write without it seeming too out of place i hope!
I always wanted to know what it would be like if Cross had to teach a class of kids :D
Enjoy!
"Hey Allen!" called Harry. The white haired exorcist turned.
"Oh. Hello Harry, Ron, Hermione," he said smiling. They smiled back.
"So this new class? It's being taught by Professor Cross right?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, didn't you and Yana say he's your master?" asked Ron. Allen twitched.
"Yeah. And by the way, I have no idea what he'll be teaching us." He shuddered. "He'll probably just torture me for the entire lesson." Yana snickered at him.
"Don't worry Allen, I already threatened him." Allen got whiplash turning to stare at her, she winked. "I threatened to hide all of his alcohol." Allen cringed.
"If he takes this out on me now I am so killing you," he mumbled. Yana laughed while the wizards looked slightly horrified.
They entered the classroom and sat down near the back. Cross wasn't here yet so Allen took a look round the classroom, it looked like they were sharing this class with Slytherins. He looked at the desk and twitched violently. Yana looked up surprised.
"Allen?" she asked worried.
He pointed at the desk with a trembling finger, she turned to look and twitched too. On the desk was a plant that looked exactly like Roseanne, the man eating plant they'd had to take care of when they were younger. That was when they noticed a blonde haired Slytherin boy, Harry said he was called Malfoy, start poking the plant.
"What the hell is this ugly plant?" he sneered still poking. Allen jumped up and placed himself in front of the boy as the flower opened. Malfoy hissed from his position on the floor.
"You little freak, what the hell was that… for…?" he trailed off seeing Allen with the plant attached to his arm. It was clinging on with lots of razor sharp teeth.
"Allen! You idiot! You should have left it and let the moron find out for himself about the plant!" Yana cried looking distressed at Allen who was wincing.
"That's not fair Yana. He didn't know it's a man eating plant that will attack if insulted," he said smiling through gritted teeth, the plant sunk it's teeth deeper. That was when Lavi suddenly decided to burst into the room.
"Is everyone ok? I heard yells and came to see what happened, did we get attacked, is anyone hurt-" Yana slapped her hand over his mouth to shut him up.
"Shut it! It sounds like someone left the tap running." He quirked an eyebrow at her choice of words, then he saw the plant.
"Oh shit! It's another one of those man eating flowers!" Lenalee joined them then.
"Lavi knows what it is too?" she asked. Lavi shuddered.
"Of course. Krory had loads at his castle but they were huge and tried swallowing us whole! Allen you got bit!" Allen rolled his eyes.
"Well done for noticing."
"Tch. Idiot apprentice, you should have known better," drawled Cross from the doorway. Lavi looked sheepish now as if he'd been caught doing something he shouldn't. Which he probably had. Cross raised an eyebrow at him and took a drag of his cigarette.
"What are you doing here kid? Shouldn't you be in class?" Lavi rubbed the back of his head ruefully.
"Well… I heard yelling and sort of came running," he muttered. Cross rolled his eyes and sighed.
"What ever, I don't care. You can stay and help or get back to your class I don't really care." He paused to glare at him. "Just don't get in my way." Lavi gulped nervously and saluted. "The rest of you sit down already." He eyed Yana and Allen who still had the plant attached to his arm. "And you do something about getting Catherine off you." Allen blinked in confusion.
"Catherine?"
"Oh, is that what she's called?" asked Yana stroking the man eater. "Aren't you beautiful?" she whispered. "Please let go of Allen, I won't let anyone hurt you, I love you. You're a lot nicer than Roseanne was. Come on now, I love you," she cooed. Eventually the plant let go of Allen and started nuzzling her cheek. She giggled. Allen and Cross stared at her horrified. Cross shook his head to clear it.
"I'm going to pretend I did not just hear her giggle," he muttered taking another drag. Allen looked dazed and rubbed his arm absently. "Well if you like Catherine that much you can look after her when I don't have classes," suggested Cross. "Other than that I need her to keep students in line." Yana nodded gleefully and kissed the flower lightly. "What ever, you brats get sat down now."
Lenalee and Lavi moved to sit down and Lavi had to drag Allen who still seemed a bit dazed. He snapped out of it when he realised Lavi had sat in his chair.
"Lavi! Where am I going to sit?" he asked exasperated. Lavi smirked and suddenly grabbed him round the waist pulling him on to his lap, Allen turned bright red. "Lavi!" He just smirked and held on tight.
"Stop fidgeting." Allen sighed and leaned back pouting. Yana was still stood at the front with Catherine, Cross twitched.
"Are you even going to sit down?" he asked. She shook her head and continued stroking Catherine.
"No. You can use me for a demonstration if you like," she suggested with a shrug. Cross smirked and moved towards her. She narrowed her eyes at him and moved back a bit. "I meant a demonstration that will be useful to the class. Not you satisfying your libido," she growled. He shrugged and backed off.
"Oh well, it was worth a shot. I'm sure a demonstration like that would be very useful to this class," he sneered. She snorted.
"Of course, I'm sure they'd love a lesson on how to make out with someone," she said noticing a few boys perk up at this. "Or how to have sex." They all blushed.
"That's disgusting," hissed Hermione. "She's underage and he's her teacher, he can't do that!" Lenalee shrugged.
"It's not as if she'd let him, she knows him too well. Or that he'd seriously try." Lavi nodded sagely.
"Besides I heard that once he actually referred to her as his daughter," he said. "So we know what their relationship is." Allen frowned slightly.
"You know… I would have said she was his daughter if I didn't know her past," he mused looked at the two of them arguing at the front of class. Ron twitched.
"But that makes having sex with her even worse!" he gasped. Lavi shrugged.
"Old enough to kill, old enough to have sex." Harry frowned.
"You are talking about Professor Cross right? Because I don't think Yana is old enough to kill anyone." The exorcists exchanged glances. A board duster hit Allen on the head.
"Ouch! Master! What was that for?" he yelled. Cross ignored him and opened a window.
"We're going outside." Allen looked at Hermione panicking.
"What's he been talking about?"
"He said Dumbledore wants us to train physically as well. Professor Cross said we need to learn what we can do if we find ourselves unable to use magic," she explained. Allen looked dumbstruck.
"Master said that?" he muttered. "Well he obviously didn't think it up for himself, it's way too thoughtful to be coming from him." Suddenly he was lifted up by the scruff of his neck and facing Cross.
"You can go first," he growled. Allen meeped as he was thrown in the direction of the window, Yana caught him just before he flew out. Cross sighed and rubbed his forehead before turning to Lavi and Lenalee. "You two as well." He jerked a thumb towards the window.
They quickly went over to join Allen and Yana, the rest of the class watched curiously. They were horrified however when he booted Allen out of the window and the rest grabbed on to him, falling too. A few seconds later they could hear quiet curses. The class ran to the window and were amazed to see the exorcists looking a little dazed on the ground and swearing. Yana shook her fist up at Cross.
"Master you bastard! Give us a warning next time!" He snorted. "I swear next time I'm dragging you with me!" Cross turned to the rest of the class who looked extremely nervous.
"You lot hurry up and get down there or I'll be kicking you out the window too." The whole class scrambled to get out of the door.
"Now that we're finally all out here," sighed Cross irritated. "We can begin the lesson." He pulled out his innocence gun, Judgement. Yana and Allen immediately paled. "Allen and Yana can do a demonstration of how I want you to be able to move by the end of the year." They gulped and exchanged glances. He prepared his gun then aimed it at them. "You two know what to do, it'll be just like old times," he said with a smirk. He fired. They both flipped out of the way and glared at him.
"You bastard! In the old times we were twelve years old or younger!" BANG "Damn it!" BANG "Stop shooting at us!" they yelled in unison. Cross scowled.
"I'd forgotten how irritating it is when you talk in unison like that." He fired another shot. They dodged again and continued glaring at him.
"You fucking," BANG "bastard," BANG "of a slave driver!" BANG. Cross lowered his gun slightly and smirked.
"For that remark I'm going to do this for the rest of the lesson."
"You jerk!" BANG.
Needless to say that the entire class was traumatised and decided not to do anything what so ever to get on Cross's bad side. What kind of teachers shoots their students any way? Harry, Ron and Hermione were starting to understand why Allen got so twitchy when Cross was mentioned if this was what he did to them… that didn't explain why Yana seemed to find it all funny though. Maybe she was a sadist.
It was only the end of the first day and already Cross's class was the talk of the school, apparently he'd done something similar in all the classes although theirs was the only one he'd actually pulled a gun out on. Lavi seemed to find the look on McGonagall's face amusing, she seemed a cross between scandalised and looking like she wanted to curse him, Snape seemed a bit upset that he was no longer the scariest teacher which amused the Gryffindors a lot.
In fact several teachers seemed to be trying to complain to Dumbledore about Cross's behaviour, he merely retaliated by saying that everyone had their own method of teaching that worked best for them and since Cross had yet to actually hit a student with his gun he didn't see where the problem was. The problem was in fact, that the teachers were now eyeing Krory and Miranda in the same way as if expecting them to suddenly go crazy and start waving guns around. All the exorcists (except Kanda who doesn't give a damn) found this hilarious as Krory and Miranda were harmless (unless you were an Akuma) and the only danger they represented was by being unnaturally clumsy. It seemed they had some support though, Krory was helping out in Herbology and Professor Sprout seemed to like him since he was so good with plants. They didn't know what class Miranda was helping in but hoped it didn't have a lot of delicate instruments since she was renown for breaking things.
The exorcists were glad that no Akuma had shown up yet, it was so peaceful here and they didn't want any harm to come to the students. It did make them wonder though why they were here in the first place, even if Akuma had been sighted here why were they showing themselves and what could they possibly be doing here. It was Yana that came up with a possible answer.
"Maybe there's Innocence here," she suggested. "I mean this is a school for magic right? It's possible that a piece of Innocence is here somewhere and we never noticed because of all the magical interference."
Kanda swore and glared moodily at his plate while Lavi and Allen exchanged glances. Lenalee nodded.
"It's possible," she mused. "After all usually to find Innocence we look for strange occurrences and things like that but in a school for magic it's hard to tell what would be considered strange." Yana pouted and crossed her arms sulking.
"This is going to be a long and tedious mission isn't it?" she asked. "It'll be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Sorry if not a lot happened as i said i'm waiting for my sister to bring the book so more stuff should happen when she brings it.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter any way.
