Chapter 3...
"Hmm. It seems empty, but Albums Pacif- uh Dumbledore said it was a school. What do ya think lil buddy?" Natsu asked his friend who was on the dragon slayer's shoulder. It was morning when Natsu woke up and placed the scarf around his neck and the small dragon on his shoulder and left Hagrid's house and started of towards the school and now stood in the empty hallway.
Gruglll The dragon gurgled to the dragon slayer's voice.
"Great idea! I should send you to school!" Natsu beamed and although not understanding a word what his master was saying. The dragon made a sound of happiness, which was just a few squeaks. And as Natsu thought the Dragon advised, he used his nose to pick the scent of the Headmaster, within moments he found it.
And his nose lead him to a big door, and sure enough, he could hear murmurs and laughter inside along with so many scents including the professor's.
"Well, here goes nothing buddy!" He didn't kick the door open as he usually did, but pushed them open with a wide grin.
Inside
"..now for one final announcement, I on behalf of my personal interests for the safety and welfare of the students, have assigned a new teacher.." Dumbledore paused as he took in the confused, disappointed and disapproving murmurs from the student body sitting on the benches of the Great Hall.
And among the whispering were two friends, "Harry, do you think it's going to be another dimwit like Lockhart?" Ron asked his friend who simply shrugged and leaned on the table. Yesterday wasn't great, that much was obvious from his best friend's face.
Harry and Ron stayed in Dumbledore's chamber for a while, but seeing no sign of the professor, they took the opportunity to sneak into the medical wing to see their third musketeer who haven't yet recovered and were successful too, but the journey back wasn't successful, on their way back, they were caught by a very energetic Lockhart.
Of course, they weren't punished...at least not formally as Lockhart escorted them to his room and retold his story of how he defeated the monster in the chamber single handedly, so you could imagine, three hours...
"Come on Harry, cheer up." Ron patted his friend but only to have him shrug again. And as the professor spoke of a new teacher, the door to the Great Hall suddenly opened forcibly and a feeling of warmth, which was unusual for the area spread throughout the hall.
An excited Dragon Slayer walked in and there was a moment of stillness through out the entire place, except for the quick and ungraceful sound of footsteps that made it's way to the raised platform where the staff stood.
"..introducing to you all, Professor Natsu Dragneel." The said person skipped on to the stage, his smile still plastered on his face but the entire room looked with curiosity while Dumbledore gave a small bow to the pink haired man.
"He will be taking, self-defense and Draconian." That made the audience let go of their tied tongues.
"Is he really a wizard?"
"Why is he wearing so little clothes?"
"He looks cute."
"Is he old enough to teach?"
"Is that a Black dragon?"
The murmurs went on until Natsu caught something that annoyed him.
"Why did he dye his hair? Its quite stupid ain't it not?"
By now Dumbledore stepped back and allowed Natsu to speak, his happy expression gone.
"Oi!" All murmurs stopped and now the dragon slayer had all the attention he wanted.
Second row from right, twenty eighth fat kid! My hair ain't pink! It's Salomon!" The comment earned many laughter's and surprised look for how he heard it.
"Now, as you guys might know from what the Albus said..." Many gasps were earned from all the people gathered at the way of Natsu calling a well respected and powerful man by his first name as if they were buddies.
"What now? What are you all gasping at?" Natsu now understood how Erza felt when he and everyone else at Fairy Tail used to get too rowdy.
Taking a deep breath, he sighed audibly, and his smile reappearing on his face. "Alright then, as the professor said, I will be taking Self-defense and Draconian. Anyone has any questions?"
Many hands shot up. "Anything other than my hair or clothes." Immediately it be came into a few.
"Alright, Blondie. Shoot." Natsu said as he watched the sixth year girl nervously forming words.
"D-d-do we ha-ve text book..professor?"
"Text book? Nah, I hate'em. So don't bring any for my class and don't call me professor, it makes me feel too old." Natsu's words confused the entire school, minus the headmaster.
"What form of blunder has the headmaster appointed." Professor Snape sneered from his seat.
"The professor always has some reason...at least I hope he does." Professor McGonagall said with uncertainty.
"Sir, why do we need self-defense spells when we already have a defense against dark arts class?" A raven haired boy stood next.
"Spells? Oh you got your idea wrong buddy, there are no spells. Its about getting your physical body to keep up with your magic." This earned more shocked faces.
Next was Percy Weasley, the head boy. "Sir, is that a Black dragon?" He pointed at the little dragon, to which the little dragon hissed..
"You mean Blacky? Yeah, he is a black dragon." Hearing the confirmation, the head boy continued.
"It is illegal to possess a black dragon and the Ministry should supposed know if they are around a schools premises." Natsu narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy.
"I don't give anything to what the Ministry says as long as whatever I am doing is right. That's the way of wizards where I come from." Natsu words echoed on what Makarov often used to say.

"Hey..Harry? Isn't that guy..?" Ron whispered
"Yeah. It is him."

After the last few minor questions, Natsu sat on the seat he was provided, which was between two of the professors that every student dreaded to have ever met. Severus Snape and Gilderoy Lockhart.
The first one to speak was, as expected, Lockhart. "Hello Mr. Dragneel, it is a pleasure to be in my acquaintance, is it not?"
All the Professor got was a confused look. "Uh what? Who are you again?" Now this was unexpected and another thing was, Snape laughed, although was hidden by coughing and covering it with his fist.
"What? You don't know me? Perhaps you haven't seen me before but you definitely must have heard of my name. The man who has saved everyone by closing the chamber of secrets. Now don't tell me you haven't heard who did that." Lockhart waited to be praised but all he got was a confused face.
After a few seconds of silence, Lockhart spoke, "Well?"
".."
"Why aren't you telling me my name?"
"Oil. Why should I tell you your name? Don't you know it? And besides you said not to tell you if I don't know your name." Natsu stated
"You don't know who closed the chamber-"
"Dude, closing a chamber isn't such a big deal. I mean I have demolished the chambers that don't open, just so I could see what's inside. So as I was saying, its pretty stupid to boast yourself for closing one chamber, right?" Natsu asked for confirmation from Snape who surprisingly replied. "Indeed."
Professor McGonagall nearly spit out her tea and the other teachers froze in shock while Dumbledore inaudibly laughed lightly. There's going to be an interesting turn of events, hope its good.
