It took me months to think up this fic. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Harry Potter, InuYasha, Negima!, Dragon Ball Z, Death Note, Naruto, Rave Master, Bleach, or Fullmetal Alchemist. I only own the ideas and creativity necessary to write this story.

Intro: This is basically a massive crossover taking place 6 years after Harry Potter ends. It starts with Naraku and my favorite antagonist from Negima! joining forces to wipe out all magical civilization. Hogwarts is getting a lot of new teachers this year, and several of our Harry Potter favorites will return to help protect Hogwarts from the new threat, plus appearances by a whole bunch of everyone's anime favorites.



Prologue:

The summer of 2004 was over, and not much time had passed since Fate Averruncus had accomplished his objective, destroying the gateport from the Magic World to the human world. He had long since cut his ties with his subordinates and was now wandering the human world, looking for something to occupy his time, but to no avail.

“It will take years to reconstruct the gateport, but that’s not my problem. It is fortunate for me that the old gate in Ostia was still in one piece; otherwise, I would not have been able to return for quite a while. I doubt that anyone would bother to make it the new center of transportation,” Fate decided. The boy turned away, preparing to take flight when he suddenly stopped, having sensed a strange aura nearby. “Who are you, and what business do you have with me?” he called, without moving.

“Your intuition is impressive, Fate Averruncus,” a voice said with a light chuckle. “My name is Naraku, and I would like to propose a partnership between you and me. I assure you it will be mutually beneficial.”

After a short pause, the young magi turned to see a silhouette resembling a white baboon materializing before him. “What exactly do you have in mind, Naraku, and how do you know my name?” he asked.

“In case you don’t already know, young Negi Springfield has already used the very same ‘old abandoned gate’ to return to the normal world,” Naraku calmly replied, much to the surprise of the pre-teen sorcerer, although none showed on his expressionless face.

“I didn’t realize that you knew of that boy.”

“Feh. I have eyes in places you can only imagine, my boy. It was worth no effort at all to send my saimyosho into this world and spy on you boys,” was Naraku’s answer.

“Saimyosho?” Fate said in a confused tone.

“Simply put: the insects of Hell. I can see whatever they see, so it is simple to learn all kinds of information.” As Naraku spoke, a swarm of large wasp-like insects appeared around Naraku’s body. “More to the point, I can help you find and destroy the son of the famous ‘Thousand Master.’ Coincidentally, I happen to know that Negi, as well as the man whose life I seek, will soon be sent to the prestigious magic school known as ‘Hogwarts.’”

“I do not seek Negi Springfield’s life. He and I simply keep ending up on the wrong sides. Besides, he is of no threat to me. After all, his power is incomplete,” Fate retorted lazily, quickly becoming uninterested in what the strange being was saying.

The boy was about to leave when Naraku appeared in front of him and whispered, “And yours ISN’T ‘incomplete?’ What if I told you that if he and the Hogwarts witches and wizards were to band together, his power would far surpass your own? After all, there is no such thing as ‘complete power.’ One’s power can never truly stop increasing.”

This proclamation brought a twinge of frustration to the young mage’s face. “No one can match my power, no matter how strong they are,” he shot back in a restrained voice.

“Awfully confident aren’t you? Well, what if I told that it is possible for you to increase your powers 100-fold? If you help me, I shall give you half of the sacred shikon jewel shards that I possess. This jewel can boost one’s natural powers exponentially when used properly. With your new powers, you really would be invincible,” Naraku said in an ever-so-calm voice, holding out a nearly completed black jewel. “Let me cut to the chase, if Negi Springfield and Harry Potter, Hogwarts’ greatest champion, were to join forces with the staff and students of Hogwarts, you just might meet your end. Moreover, young Negi has recently learned a curse that could do even you in. Therefore, I suggest that we team up to destroy all potential threats within the magic world before they become aware of our existence. You do wish to ‘save the world,’ don’t you? Oh, and by the way, rumor has it that a certain High Daylight Walker will be present as well. Don’t you want revenge for your humiliating defeat at her hands back in Kyoto? If you don’t take me up on this, unlike twenty years ago, you will not survive this time.”

He makes a valid point. I have heard of a Harry Potter, one who killed that foolish weakling, Voldemort six years ago. I guess it couldn’t hurt to take him up on his offer. My power has indeed grown since the battle in Kyoto, although I have my doubts as per his claims about taking my power to new heights. Besides, Negi foiled my plans in the Magical World, and I owe him a great deal. “All right. I’ll join you, Naraku, but I expect you to pull your own weight here,” Fate decided after a long pause.

“Agreed. Now, let us start our search. We’ll destroy every magic school we come across until we find Hogwarts,” Naraku decided, and they flew off, in search of the nearest magic community.

That's it for the prologue. I'll post the first chapter later within the week. I'm using the post-Mt. Hakurei version of Naraku, by the way. Here's my pic of Fate (his hair is supposed to be white, but it's the best I can do for now):

Sorry to double-post, but it would help if I could get some comments on this. Is it too sophisticated? Did I leave anything out? Please tell me, because I would like to continue the story without having to triple-post!!

Nope. Everything was fine. Perfect even.

You could even say that your prologue was a ...

wait for it...


FLAWLESS VICTORY! ^__^

*sighs*

Inuyasha...

1) Double posting is fine if it is your own topic or fanfiction

2) As I have stated in my own and in other topics: You do not have to wait for reviews to update. Some of us may have read your story, and probably have tracked it so that they, like I have, may post a review when we may.

Sometimes just a prologue or summary isn't enough to keep your fellow readers interested. Please continue to post your story even if we do not post a reply.

Please post again soon for I'd love to see what happens next! :cheer: :excited: :victory:

Yeah, it's fine. Just...very direct. I hope you'll develop a more interesting style as the story goes on. Right now it's so blunt. Work on imagery. That would make it much better.

Thanks for your input, and now here's chapter 1!

Chapter 1

It was early morning, one week before start of the new semester at Mahora Academy. Ten-year-old professor Negi Springfield made his way to the dean’s office for his new class assignment. It sure was a lucky break to find that old abandoned gateport and get back to Wales right before the new semester started. It was actually a good thing that Fate Averruncus was so thorough as to sever the time bonds between the worlds so that we didn’t miss the start of the new semester. When he reached the office door, he heard the voices of Dean Konoemon Konoe and Negi’s predecessor as teacher of class 3-A, Takamichi T. Takahata, conversing in serious tones. Bewildered, Negi paused at the door. “My goodness. What could they be talking about?” Negi wondered out-loud, as he pushed open the door.

“Ah, Negi. Welcome back!” The former English professor greeted Negi with a warm smile. “How did you fare over in the home world? Find any clues as to Nagi’s whereabouts?”

“Well, not anything as of yet, but I…Wait a minute! How did you know about that?” exclaimed Negi with a distraught look on his face.

Takamichi only laughed. “Oh, come on. I wasn’t born yesterday, Negi. If I know you as well as I think I do, then you used that trip to Wales to enter the Magic World in order to find your father, Nagi. Am I right?”

Reluctantly, Negi nodded as said, “Yes, you’re right, but I was unsuccessful. I did learn something interesting from Mr. Rakan, though.”

This surprised Takamichi. “So, you met Rakan, then. I didn’t think he was still alive when he didn’t respond to my letter. Let me guess, it was Eva’s curse? The curse that rivals my ‘Kankaho?’” The "Kankaho" was a technique passed down to Takamichi by his late master, which involved the joining of magical power and ki as a means to incredible power and strength. Negi had been on the receiving end of this technique before in a sparring match, and it took nearly everything Negi had to defeat Takamichi in a close-to-all-out fight.

“AHHH!! Takamichi, how did you-?!” Negi started, when Dean Konoe cut him off.

“Listen, Negi. That curse is very dangerous and carries with it many risks. You may only use it in life-or-death situations. Now then, to the point. Negi, you have been reassigned,” the Dean stated at once. “But don’t worry. Your work here has been nothing but successful, but you are needed elsewhere. I have received a request from the Dean of your Lutus Magorum for a new teacher at a magic school near London known as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

“But why me? Why must I leave Mahora now, after I’ve grown so close to my students?” Negi asked, shocked and upset with the new development.

“Apparently, there has arisen a new threat to the magical community of the world, and you’re the person that I’ve deemed most able to address it,” the Dean concluded.

“A new threat? Who is it?” Negi wondered out-loud.

Dean Konoe turned towards the window and said, “It’s Fate Averruncus, whom you fought back in the home world. He has returned and is now destroying every magical school and community that he comes across. He started in America and is now working his way eastward. Nobody has been able to stop him. It is also unclear as to what or who he is searching for.”

Negi did not look surprised. “I figured he would do this. Ever since I defeated him in the Magic World and forced him to return to this world with the same forced transportation magic he used on me and my students at the beginning. I foiled his plans to destroy the Magical World, so now he must be taking out his frustrations on the human world.”

“Well what’s done is done and cannot be undone,” the elderly headmaster said with a wave of his hand. “Now we need to focus on what his plans are for the human world. He also seems to have help from an unknown entity. Among a fair number of the already destroyed magic schools, traces of clouds of toxic gases have been found, as well as hundreds upon hundreds of skeletons, both human and non-human, as though the flesh simply melted right off the bones.”

“Toxic gases and skeletons?” Negi said with a start. “That’s not like him. Normally, he just leaves his victims in petrified stone, but we were always able to cure it afterwards. I’ve neither seen nor heard of him kill before.”

Over the next hour, Negi was briefed on the conditions of the new position. He would leave for London in two days to meet with a representative from Hogwarts, along with a select number of his best students, as there was a serious need for powerful security, because it appeared as though Hogwarts would be the final target, based on the direction Fate was headed in. Negi would become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and would have one year at most to train everyone in Hogwarts, including the staff in the ways of Western Magic in preparation to deal with the newest threat to both the human and magic worlds. However, now Negi faced the hardest part of his day: choosing who was to go with him.

Excellent work!!! Now I am getting into this!

I'm glad. This is my first fic, so a good reception is everything. Next chapter to come during the week. Btw, one of Negi's students is a half-demon like InuYasha.

Shippo: *blinks* A half-demon like Inuyasha? :excited: :victory: :kittylove: NOw Jostanos-sama Has to read your story!

:hehe: I guess I do at that, Shippo. ^^

Great update by the way, InuYasha.
Please continue when you may. ^^

Shippo: O_O The fic writer's name is InuYasha too?

For name's sake, just call me "Grominator." It's a nickname that I've grown rather fond of.

And to give a heads-up, Negi's half-demon student is half bird demon, and Negi's best friend and rival is half dog demon, complete with dog ears, claws and fangs. However, these two do not adhere to the once of month, full human transformation that InuYasha is plagued by. InuYasha is going to be so jealous!! :excited:

O.O

Vo: What's DBZ?

Alyssa: NO clue....

Truth: I have.

Sorry. DBZ stands for Dragon Ball Z, for those who aren't familiar with the series.

O.o ehh... No clue. Sorry. I am not smart right now.

Neway, CONTINUE!!! ^^ FUNNY THINGS!

New chapter!! A little short this time, but it's packing a little cliff hanger at the end.

Chapter 2

It was a bright morning at Number 12 Grimmauld Place with the sun high in the sky. Harry Potter was bustling about the house preparing to depart for the Ministry of Magic. He had received a message from his best friend Ron Weasley saying that the Minister demanded his and Ron’s presence at the Ministry immediately. Harry was now an Auror, a wizard that hunts down dark wizards, working for the Ministry, having joined about a month after the final battle against Voldemort just over six years ago. That had been the greatest battle of Harry’s life, resulting in the death of the most terrifying dark wizard the world had ever seen. After a full year of hunting for Horcruxes, vessels in which Voldemort had implanted pieces of his soul, and destroying them, finally ending in May 1998, Harry defeated Voldemort in a duel and ended the evil wizard’s life. Even in the years following the battle, a small number of Death Eaters, Voldemort’s henchmen, had attempted to pick up where Voldemort had left off, but Harry caught them with ease. The hardest part was tracking them down and apprehending them, but Harry wasn’t called the Ministry’s best Auror since Alastor Moody for nothing. The training Harry had received during his years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had paid off.

Harry donned his dark wizard robes and hurried down the stairs to the living room, where his wife Ginny was waiting alongside the house-elf Kreacher. Harry and Ginny married three years ago, and the red-haired girl with whom Harry once attended Hogwarts had become a fine young woman and a loving wife. Kreacher the house-elf had been left to Harry as well as Number 12 Grimmauld Place by his late god-father Sirius Black. At first, Kreacher detested Harry and wanted nothing to do with him, but eventually began to accept Harry after Harry treated Kreacher with a little kindness and respect. For several years, Kreacher had worked in the Hogwarts kitchen with the other elves, but after Harry and Ginny were married, Harry asked Kreacher to return to Grimmauld Place and be their house-elf once again, and Kreacher was more than happy to obey.

“Harry, you know I’ll never get used to you being at Minister Shacklebolt’s beck and call. I know you’re the best wizard in our world, but don’t you think he is putting you on too many easy cases?” Ginny asked Harry, pushing her bright red hair behind her ear. Ginny had become rather annoyed with how Harry was being called away at least once a month with new missions. She knew that Harry was the best Auror there was, but she couldn’t help feeling that Harry’s power was going to waste on weakling criminals.

“Ginny, you know I can never ignore a direct order from the Minister of Magic. It’s true that these past cases have been like child’s play, but now that Voldemort is dead, nobody’s left to give me a challenge. Besides, there is always a chance that the criminal may be as powerful as Voldemort was. It’s not likely, but I’ve been getting a really anxious lately. This time might be different,” Harry told her. “This enemy might even be stronger.”

“Harry, you’re the best, and here you are hoping for a stronger opponent. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how your mind works. Still, if you think there’s someone stronger than Voldemort, the greatest dark wizard to have ever lived, I won’t argue with you now. I gave up disagreeing with you years ago,” Ginny said, shaking her head in disbelief. “Anyway, you should get going before the Minister sends someone after you.”

“Don’t worry,” Harry said with a wave of his hand. “Ron’s letter says I’ve been granted special clearance to use the Floo Network to go directly to the Minister’s office.” Normally, wizards use Floo Powder to travel long distances in an instant through fireplaces. He gave Ginny a kiss goodbye, and with a wave of his wand, Harry lit a fire, and then took a pinch of the glittering powder from a small pot near his fireplace. He removed his glasses, so as not to damage them, and scattered the powder into the flames, which turned a brilliant green. With a “See you soon,” he stepped into the flames and said, “Minister of Magic’s Office!” Immediately, Harry felt his body begin to spin wildly, magically propelled all the way to London and straight into the Minister’s office.

Harry finally stopped spinning and touched down inside the fireplace of his boss, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Minister of Magic. He had done this enough times over the past 13 years to figure out how to land without ending up on his rear and covered in soot. He climbed out and brushed himself off, pulling out his glasses and putting them on. Suddenly, he halted. What Harry Potter saw before him was unlike anything he had ever seen before!

O.O

Alyssa: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :kicking: :kicking: :kicking:


Truth: YAYyAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYYYAY!!!

Continue when you may!

THe next chapter is in progress. I'll have it within a week. InuYasha's going to be seeing some pretty intense action soon enough.

Btw, L and Light will be brought in after about 4 to 6 more chapters, but they'll have a significant role, so keep reading. I'll keep you all entertained until then and after. Rest assured of that.

Huh, crossover with 3 genres. Now I'll start seeing what's up with Death Note.

Not sure what you mean by genres, but I've got 6 animes packed into this, plus Harry Potter. We've already got Harry Potter, Negima and InuYasha in it. The other four will come into the story when the time is right.

L and Light will come in for the sole purpose of solving a very important murder case (having taken a pause in the Kira case): Who killed _______?

What fills in the blank? You'll have to wait and see.

YAY ^_^

Alyssa: YAY MY BISHIE WILL BE IN THIS STORY!!!

L: Your...???

Alyssa: Bishie! I'm not sure what it means, but it sounds cool!

L: -.-

Alyssa: ^_^

L: It's short for "Bishounen," which means "Pretty boy" in Japanese.

Alyssa: YAY!! MY BOY IS PRETTY!!!

L: Well, when you put it that way...

This just in. I've decided to add some guys from Naruto into my story. This is already big, but Naruto will make this incredibly huge. Next chapter coming soon.

^_^ YAY!!

Next chapter comes tomorrow. Also, I added a little bit to the second half of the prologue.

New Chapter Time!!

Chapter 3

“Aw, damn it all, Kagome. I thought this day couldn’t get any damn weirder! First, owls are picking and pecking and pulling at my ears, and now people are coming out of fireplaces,” an annoyed InuYasha said after seeing the man exit the fireplace. The half-demon looked like he was ready to take a swing at something, or someone.

“Come on, InuYasha. Calm down,” Kagome said, trying to hold InuYasha back from taking a swing at the nearest living thing. “Please continue Mr. Shacklebolt,” she said, turning to the burly African wizard.

“Thank you, and thank you Mr. Potter for joining us. Also, let me apologize for the owls’ behavior, sir, but they seem to nibble on ears as a sign of affection.” Kingsley said in a deep, imposing voice, beckoning to Harry to join him and the waiting Ron Weasley behind his desk. “Now all we have to do is to wait for Hagrid to arrive with Professor Springfield and his team before we get down to the business at hand.” As if on cue, there was a loud “click” sound at the window. Harry crossed to the window and let in a large brown owl, which fluttered down to land on the desk. Upon seeing this, InuYasha slapped his hands over his ears. He had had enough ear-pulling for one day. Kingsley removed the roll of paper tied to its leg and read it as the owl flew out the window. “Ah, good. They’re on their way and will be here momentarily. That’ll make things much easier. Once they arrive, I’ll brief everyone on the situation.”

“Who’s Professor Springfield?” Ron asked Harry. The tall, red-haired wizard had no recollection of meeting anyone named “Springfield.”

“Maybe a new teacher,” Harry answered, bewildered.

“Yes, Professor Negi Springfield is a young mage from Wales who a very old friend of mine referred to us. If the stories I’ve heard are true, he has faced wizards beyond even Voldemort’s level and lived,” Kingsley replied. “We also believe one of those wizards is behind the crisis we’ve been facing for the past several weeks. But once he’s here we’ll elaborate on this.”

“Bloody hell! Wizards stronger than Voldemort. Harry, is that even possible?” Ron said with a distraught face.

“I’ve no idea, Ron, but we’ll find out soon enough.”

“Hey, what’s that smell?” said InuYasha, audibly sniffing the air. “There’s something coming this way, and it’s not human,” he said, putting a hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. “It’s not demon, but not quite human either.”

Sure enough, a giant of a man walked into the room a moment later. Between the man’s hair and beard, little of his face was visible. He was more than twice InuYasha’s height, and three times as wide. “Harry, me boy,” he said in a booming voice, and strode across the room and thumped Harry and Ron on the back so hard their legs buckled under them.

“Strong as ever Hagrid,” Harry said, straightening up. “How’ve the grounds been holding up these past years?”

“Ah, everything’s been fine, but it’s got so boring after you kids left. Nobody comes to visit me anymore.”

Before the giant could say anymore, a tall, grey-haired man in a dark grey suit walked in the door, followed by two young boys and a girl no older than 10 or 11 years old, and a group of 11 middle school girls in maroon school uniforms, followed by a ghost. One of the boys had short reddish-brown hair and was dressed in a green suit, and carried a wooden staff with an appendage at one end that reminded Harry very much of the lightning-bolt-shaped scar he had on his forehead. The other boy had black hair and dog-like ears. What bewildered Harry the most was the antenna-like ears one of the girls had. If he hadn’t known better, he would’ve thought she wasn’t quite human.

“Good day, sir. I take it you are the Minister?” the man said, turning to Kingsley. “My name is Professor Takamichi Takahata, and I’ve brought with me Professor Negi Springfield, just as you requested,” he said, indicating the boy in the green suit.

“Good afternoon, sir. With all due respect, I think we should get down to business as soon as possible,” the boy said, taking in the scene with one look around the office.

“A little hasty, aren’t we,” said Kingsley getting up from his desk. “Since we’ll be working together in this effort, we should get acquainted with one another. “Let’s start with you, Harry.” He gestured to the wizard at his side.

“I’m Harry Potter, and I’m an Auror,” said Harry.

“Ron Weasley, also an Auror,” said the tall, red-haired wizard standing beside Harry.

“Kinsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic.”

“Rubeus Hagrid, groundskeeper at Hogwarts. I’m also half-giant, on me mother’s side,” Hagrid said, standing beside Harry and Ron.

“InuYasha. Before anyone asks about the ears, I’m a half-demon, and if anyone has a problem with that, then that’s their problem,” InuYasha growled with a serious face.

“And my name is Myoga, loyal servant to Master InuYasha,” said a voice that seemed to come out of nowhere. Then a very tiny insect jumped on Kingsley’s nose. “It is an honor.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen an insect talk,” said a surprised Kingsley with a start.

“How rude,” Myoga said. “I’m a centuries old flea demon who has served Lord InuYasha’s family for hundreds of years.”

“I’m Kagome Higurashi, and don’t mind InuYasha. He’s always like this when meeting new people,” said Kagome with a reassuring smile, earning herself a “Feh!” from InuYasha.

With a “Hotcha!” something jumped straight toward Kagome. Before it got within one foot of her, InuYasha snatched it out of the air and held it inches from his face. It looked like a white weasel with a black patch at the end of a short tail. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, you little rat?!!”

“Hey! I’m not a rat, I’m an ermine! And my name is Chamo, you savage!” the ermine yelled, struggling to escape InuYasha’s clenched fist.

“You’re name is ‘Mud’ as far as I’m concerned,” InuYasha snarled and threw Chamo on the floor and started stomping on his tail – until Kagome said, “InuYasha, sit, boy,” sending InuYasha crashing to the floor with extreme force.

“Woah! What kind of magic was that?” Harry asked her.

“There’s no magic to it. It’s all in the necklace, boys, all in the necklace,” Kagome said with a proud smile and a gesture toward the prayer-bead necklace around InuYasha’s neck, “but it only works for me.”

“Thank God for that,” InuYasha retorted under his breath, still lying face-down on the ground, his voice a bit muffled by the solid granite tiles pressed against his face.

“If we could continue please,” Takamichi said, once InuYasha had stood up. “My name is Takamichi T. Takahata, mage specializing in combat and magical war veteran.”

“You’re not referring to the wars against Voldemort,” Harry said. “I don’t remember ever hearing your name during those times.”

“During Voldemort’s first reign, there was a great war going on in the Mundus Magicus, or Magical World. It’s a whole other world inhabited only by mages and magical creatures,” Takamichi said. “It could’ve resulted in absolute global annihilation of both worlds, had it not been for the Thousand Master and Ala Rubra, but that’s a whole other story in itself. Negi, you next.”

“Right. I’m Professor Negi Springfield, combat mage and apparently, the new Defense against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts School. The Thousand Master was also my father, who people believe to be dead, but I know for a fact that he’s alive somewhere. You’ve already met Chamo here,” Negi said, indicating the ermine sitting on his shoulder and trying to straighten out his tail. “And these are my students, Asuna, Kagurazaka, Konoka Konoe, Yue Ayase, Chisame Hasegawa, Nodoka Miyazaki, Setsuna Sakurasaki, Kazumi Asakura, Chachamaru Karakuri, Haruna Saotome, Kaede Nagase, Fei Ku, Sayo Aisaka, and Evangeline Athanasia Kitty McDowell.” The bowed unison, except who just stood there with her arms crossed.

Ron sniggered at the mention of “Kitty,” trying unsuccessfully to turn it into a cough. “What are you laughing at, little boy?” the little girl asked with an evil smile. Her eyes went black, she stretched her hand out, there was a flash of purple light, and a moment later, Ron was frozen in a large pillar of ice. “Never mess with me. You’re looking at the most terrifying vampire you’ll ever meet. Even Dracula is a wimp compared to me, and I think the level of my power would agree.”

After several minutes, Ron was finally thawed out of the ice, but when he looked into Evangeline’s eyes, he flinched like he’d never flinched before. “I swear I’ll never laugh again,” he said, cowering in fear. “I mean, wow, big things come in small packages, but I never expected that.”

“Enough already. Stand up! You’re a grown man, for heaven’s sake,” the young, dog-eared boy yelled at Ron. Calming himself down, he said, “I’m Kotaro Inugami, half-demon, ninja and master of inugami or dog-gods.” He held his hand out to the side, and there was suddenly a ferocious-looking jet-black dog standing there beside him. “Don’t worry, they obey any order I give them.”

“One last question,” Ron said. “Why do you have a vampire and a ghost with you, and what do you mean they’re your students?”

This time, a tall girl with long, light-green hair and metallic ears stepped forward and said in a very calm voice, “Pardon me, but I don’t think it is right to judge us based on what we are. Whether one is a ghost like Sayo, or a vampire like my master, or a robot like myself, we’re students in the 9th grade, under Professor Springfield’s tutelage.”

“Thank you, Chachamaru. That was beautiful,” Negi said, applauding her speech.

“Now that we’ve all been introduced, let’s get down to business,” Kingsley said, sitting down at his desk. “We have little time and much to discuss.”

Chapter End

Here's a picture of Negi's class roster:

(Sayo is #1, Kazumi is #3, Yue is #4, Asuna is #8, Chachamaru is #10, Fei Ku is #12, Konoka is #13, Haruna is #14, Setsuna is #15, Kaede is #20, Chisame is #25, Eva is #26, and Nodoka is #27) for a total of 13 students present (with Negi as the 32nd)

Here's a shot of Kotaro (kind of like a young, shorter-haired InuYasha with black hair:

Win. WIN WIN WIN.

SO MUCH WIN. OH MAH GAWD WIN. WIN!!!

YOU PASS!

Speaking of passing, InuYasha is going to have to pass a combat test to earn Professor status in the next chapter. He and Koga will be teaching hand-to-hand combat classes.

Wow! A small army here! InuYasha and Kagome the only ones of InuYasha's core group to be in this?

Not to worry. I'll figure out a way to get the rest of them in there, plus Koga and Ayame. The gang's just not complete without them.

YAY!!! YAYYY!YYY!Y!YYY!!! *is extremely hyper because of the sheer awesome of this story*

As if that's not enough. Sesshomaru will appear at some point early in the year, and then again at the end for the final battle.

YAY!! *glomps Sesshy*

Sesshoumaru: OFF. WENCH.

New chapter!

Chapter 4

Kingsley Shacklebolt surveyed the people standing before him with a serene expression. “It’s time for us to find out what we’re up against,” he said. “Now, who would like to speak first?”

“Damn it. Screw the formalities. Kagome, let’s just get this over with,” said an annoyed and impatient InuYasha. For the next two hours, InuYasha and Kagome explained everything they knew about Naraku, including his powers, his methods of killing and manipulation, his love for elaborate traps, his incarnations – which Ron found a little hard to swallow, how a man could give birth to so many demons – as well as all the heinous and unforgivable crimes that Naraku had committed. Finally, InuYasha got down to the only known weakness that Naraku had. “Like all half-demons, Naraku and I have one night every once in a while in which we lose our demon powers and become weak. I become an average human at sunset and return to normal at dawn when that time comes. As for Naraku, he claims that during his times of weakness, he takes apart his body and experiments with the demons that make up his body, casting out the weak and becoming stronger. Also, he’s capable of choosing the time that it happens.”

“Demons merging with a human using his tainted heart and soul and creating a monster as insidious as that? I’ve never heard of such a thing,” Harry thought out-loud. He had had one experience with Voldemort possessing a man and using his body as a vessel in order to preserve his life, but he had never heard of such a complete merger of entities before.

“Hah! Well, you’ve got that last bit only half-right,” Kotaro said proudly. “Not all half-demons have that weakness. I’ve never been reduced to the form of a mere human. Not once! The same goes for the demon-slayer girl here,” he said, gesturing toward Setsuna.

“SAY WHAT?!!” InuYasha howled.

“Looks like God dealt you a bad hand,” Ron said with a smile.

“Ron!” Harry said in his ear. “Try and be more tactful. Hermione was right when she said you have the emotional range of a teaspoon.”

“More like a pair of chopsticks!” Kagome said, the anger in her voice rising. “Look what you did to InuYasha!!” InuYasha was huddled in the corner, clutching his knees against his chest, saying under his breath, “Why does God hate me so bad?”

“Demon slayer? Really?!” Myoga said, hopping onto Setsuna’s cheek and trying to get some blood from her, earning himself a squashing. “A half-demon working as a demon-slayer. That’s irony,” he added as he fluttered to the ground and lay flat.

And what about that hair-style, I’ve never seen anything like it, Kagome thought, still trying to calm InuYasha down.

“My tribe banished me when I was a very little girl, because of the color of my wings. I was taken in by Miss Konoka’s father, who trained me to wield the sword of Shinmei Ryu, which specializes in slaying demons and other apparitions,” Setsuna said with a downcast look in her eyes.

“What wings?” Kagome said, and an instant later, Setsuna crossed her arms in front of her, and then held them out to her side. A pair of brilliant white wings sprouted from her back, giving her the appearance of an angel. The girl had a wingspan more than twice her height. “Wowwwwww,” Kagome said quietly, her eyes growing wider by the second. She had stars in her eyes as she ran over and examined Setsuna’s wings. “I’ve never seen anything so gorgeous.”

“Quite. Finally I’ve found someone who looks as good as she tastes. Your blood is the yummiest I’ve ever tasted,” said Myoga, popping back to normal shape and recovering his posture.

“Thank you,” Setsuna said, blushing from ear to ear. She crossed her arms again and the wings disappeared. “Now then, Professor Negi, it’s time we enlightened them with what we know of our other foe,” she finished, straightening the back of her uniform. Bringing the wings out always pushed the back of her shirt up, sometimes even undoing her bra.

“Right,” Negi said with a serious expression. “We don’t know as much about him as you guys know about Naraku, but I’ll tell you what we know. The second foe we are dealing with is named Fate Averruncus. He is an extremely powerful mage and a survivor of the Great Magical World War of 20 years ago. He was among the enemies my father and Ala Rubra were fighting back then. It appears that he belonged to some kind of doomsday cult that was set on bringing about the end of the world, believing that they could save the world by destroying it. Fate looks like a no-more-than-12-year-old boy with white hair. Even though he appears to be a child, do not be deceived. He is older than he lets on. His attire is a like a gray school uniform. His magic is stone-oriented, specializing in petrifaction spells and spears made of stone. He is a seasoned martial artist, capable of moving at very high speeds. One of his main fortes is erecting and breaking through powerful barriers. Again, this is no ordinary mage we are dealing with. The worst is, as powerful as he is, I doubt that he’s shown his true power yet.”

“Petrifaction?” Ron said, clearly lost.

“A spell that turns one to stone,” Chamo said, leaping off Negi’s shoulder and landing on Kingsley’s desk. “The process starts wherever the spell touches the victim and spreads throughout the body. Plus, if the rate of petrifaction is slow enough, a person’s throat would harden, cutting off the flow of air and they would suffocate. Negi was on the receiving end of one of those spells and almost died once before, not to mention getting a stone spear through the right shoulder the second time we fought him. It was a fatal wound that he was lucky to recover from. It’s all thanks to Konoka’s healing magic that Negi’s still alive.”

“Well, all things considered, I would say we face a serious crisis,” Kingsley concluded, sinking into his chair with a grimace. “Because you’ve all had numerous encounters with these people, I think the course of action is clear: I would send you all to Hogwarts, where you will train the students and faculty to combat this menace.”

“What? You can’t be serious! Why involve the students?” Harry protested. “This has nothing to do with them.”

“On the contrary, Mr. Potter, it does,” Takamichi interjected. “Negi and I have read into Fate and Naraku’s pattern, and it seems that they are seeking to wipe out all wizard kind, and they’re doing it slowly. Their mission should be accomplished within a year. We believe that Hogwarts will be their final target.”

“No, Takamichi!” Negi started. “I just remembered something. There is one magic school after Hogwarts that hasn’t been attacked yet. It’s the Meldiana Magic Academy, where the survivors of the attack on my village from six years ago are being kept. I have reason to believe that the demons that destroyed my village and petrified all the mages of the village – including my uncle – were summoned by Fate. He must also be out to finish what he started.”

“But why destroy those who were already petrified?” Takamichi asked.

“If Konoka’s power can be harnessed and matured, she can undo the permanent petrifaction that they were afflicted with. Perhaps they wish to destroy them before that happens. Our only hope is to train amongst our own kind and become strong enough to stop them before they kill every wizard in the entire world.”

“The students of Hogwarts proved themselves to be a force to be reckoned with during the final battle against Voldemort six years ago. It might not be such a bad idea to let the students fight together to save the world, because you know that is what every child dreams of doing as a child,” Negi said. “Trust me.”

“But why train safely at Hogwarts while people are dying all over the world?” Harry said. “We can’t just abandon them!”

“Very true, and that is why the Dean of Mahora Academy and I have already set in motion an operation that will ensure the safety of all remaining wizards. We mages have begun tracking down major wizarding communities and gathering everyone into one place. In another couple of months, a well hidden portal will open that will take them to the Magical World, where they will be safe until the danger has passed. However, those willing to stay and fight will be welcome to remain on Earth and help with the war effort against this common enemy,” Takamichi stated with confidence in his voice.

“Which brings me to this: InuYasha, will you become a teacher as well and teach our students to fight?” Kingsley said boldly.

“Me? Teach?” InuYasha stammered, caught completely off-guard by the sudden request.

“Do it, InuYasha. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, you’re one of the best,” Kagome said encouragingly.

“Why have me teach hand-to-hand combat moves? I thought wizards fought with magic,” InuYasha said half-heartedly.

“Remember, Fate is a martial artist. It is likely that any of us may find ourselves disarmed at some point,” Negi reminded him. “This is to ensure that we will be as prepared as possible.”

“Feh. Fine, I’ll do it,” InuYasha said with reluctance. “But I’m not doing this alone. Someone’s gotta help me.”

“Why not ask Koga to help?” Kagome suggested.

“WHAT?!! Not that mangy wolf. Anyone but him!” InuYasha yelled, having finally come out of his coma of depression, angrily bearing his fangs.

“But InuYasha, he’s a great fighter. He may run in the face of overwhelming odds once in a while, but he’s still pretty reliable. If it means that much, you can each teach separate classes and you won’t have to be near each other, because when you get right down to it, he’s just as good as you are.”

“Well, that suits me just fine,” InuYasha said, sulking. “And you can say that we’re equal all you want, Kagome. It don’t make it true.”

“Well, this is fine and dandy, but I think we should put this boy to the test,” Hagrid interrupted. “If InuYasha can’t beat me with his bare-hands, I’ll handle the physical training.”

“Good idea, Hagrid,” Ron said. “This guy can claim to be strong all he wants, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s all been just talk. I suggest that the before the students arrive at Hogwarts, InuYasha and Hagrid have a sparring match, and the first person to be knocked out loses.”

“Hah. Sounds good to me, but why wait?” InuYasha said, with a trace of excitement in his voice. “I’m tired of talking, and I’m itching for some action.”

“Calm yourself, InuYasha,” Kingsley said holding up his hand. “This is not a place for fighting. Besides, if we do this at Hogwarts, the teachers will have a chance to give their input on the situation.”

“Fine. We’ll wait, but you’d better at least give me a workout,” InuYasha said, pointing at Hagrid. “Because I’ve fought demons more than twice your size without breaking a sweat.”

“Enough. Now then, Kagome, I have some very important instructions to give you. This special ritual will allow your friends to travel to our time to help with the preparation. If your stories are true, then they deserve to fight in this war just as must as we do,” Kingsley said with the most serious of expressions. “Pay close attention, because this must be followed to the letter, or else something will probably go wrong. Bear in mind, this has never been attempted before.”

“Lastly,” he said, turning to Harry and Ron, “gentlemen, I’ve decided to send out letters to any students who participated in the battle of Hogwarts six years ago, offering them to return to Hogwarts for further magical training. In addition, as you know, Professor McGonagall has been appointed Headmistress of Hogwarts, and the positions of Head of Gryffindor House and Transfiguration professor have been reassigned. I have already sent instructions to our new Transfiguration teachers on how to reach Hogwarts. They’re alchemists and I have high hopes that they will revolutionize the teaching of Transfiguration. I’ve also decided to make Negi here the new Head of Gryffindor House. I think he is best suited for the job.”

At that moment, Ron rounded on Kingsley. “Why him? He never studied at Hogwarts. He doesn’t have the right. It should be Harry to take the job.”

“Did Harry graduate as the valedictorian of your year at the age of nine years?” Takamichi asked him. “If so, I’m sure Negi would be more than happy to relinquish the title to him.”

“In that case, the job is his,” Harry said. He leaned close to Takamichi and whispered, “Between you and me, I never finished all seven years of school, so I’m technically a dropout.”

“Since that’s decided, let us retire for the day, except for Kagome and InuYasha. I’d like to talk to you about getting your friends here to London. I’ll also need your help Professor Springfield,” Kingsley concluded. "The rest of you are dismissed."

With that, the room began to empty. Harry was sure of one thing: this coming year was going to be anything but normal at Hogwarts.

Chapter 5

The morning sun was still low in the sky when Colonel Roy Mustang summoned Edward and Alphonse Elric to his office in Central. The time had come to give them their most important assignment yet.

“Ed, we’ve just received your next assignment. This’ll keep you occupied for quite a while, but I’m confident you might just get a little closer to the Philosopher’s Stone that you’ve been searching for,” Mustang said with his usual smile.

“You just love messing around with me, don’t you, Mustang. That’s the same thing you told us last time, anyway,” said a none-too-happy Edward. “Face it, you just love having me under your thumb.”

Mustang just laughed. “Well, I can’t deny that, but I’m serious this time Ed. You and your brother have been requested for a job as alchemy teachers, and if you play your cards right, you can request payment in the form of the notes of a famed alchemist who actually created a Philosopher’s Stone without having to sacrifice hundreds of lives.”

The expression that struck Ed’s face was one of pure shock, which then turned to excitement. “All right, I’ll believe you this time, Colonel. And Hell, who knows? This might be enjoyable. If I’m teaching this stuff now, I guess that means I’ve been deemed a fully trained alchemist.”

“Don’t kid yourself. You’re nowhere near fully trained, but maybe this experience can be enlightening for you,” Mustang said. “Who knows? You might even catch yourself a girlfriend. You know how long distance relationships like yours with Winry rarely work out.”

“HEY DON’T GO THERE. I TOLD YOU WE’RE JUST FRIENDS, DAMMIT,” Ed shouted, trying to get at Mustang.

“Brother, calm down,” Al said, holding him back.

“Your brother’s right, Ed. Here. Your mission docs,” Mustang said holding out a large envelope. “But don’t open it until you’ve arrived at your destination. You’ll find a map that will lead you to the school in question.”

“Ah, your transportation is here. Turn around boys,” Mustang said, getting up from his desk.

Ed and Al turned around, but all they saw was a swirling vortex. “Hey, what the heck is this?” was all Ed had time to say before someone grabbed him and Al by the backs of their heads and shoved them into the portal in front of them.

“Good luck, Fullmetal. You’ll need it,” Mustang said before turning back to his desk to finish his daily paperwork.

~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~

As the sun rose above the horizon, casting the first morning light over the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Kakashi Hatake arrived at the Hokage’s office to make his report on the most recent mission. He pushed open the door to find Tsunade, the leader of the Leaf Village brooding over the usual foot-high piles of papers. “The mission was a success as usual Lady Hokage,” Kakashi said in his lazy, half-hearted voice.

“Thank you, Kakashi. And to congratulate you, I’m giving you a new mission, with the highest rank ever in the ninja world: a SSS-rank mission,” Tsunade replied with a warm smile.

Behind the dark mask covering the bottom half of his face, Kakashi sighed. “Don’t I feel lucky? No rest for the weary, huh? Okay, give it to me. What’ve I gotta do? Whose gotta come with me?”

“It’s going to be a ten-ninja effort, Kakashi. This is the highest ranked mission in shinobi history. It is of worldly importance. If this mission fails, the world as we know it may collapse in on itself,” Tsunade said, completely serious. “This enemy is fifty times stronger than Orochimaru was, so I want you to pick the best nine shinobi that we have for this mission.”

“Well, if that is true, I don’t know what there is that can be done. I know Sasuke did away with Orochimaru, but I don’t know how we’re supposed to manage with this new threat.”

“True, but I think this mission can help you lucky ten to climb to higher heights than even the Hokage. This is no ordinary school you are being sent to help guard. It is a school of magic. You can sit in on some of the classes and learn their techniques. If you and your comrades can learn the secrets of magic, you can be great assets when the battle finally comes, as well as when the Akatsuki eventually make their move. This mission will span over a period of just under one year.”

“One year?! But what about the Akatsuki?” Kakashi asked with a trace of panic in his voice.

“Come now, Kakashi. This isn’t like you. Remember, the Akatsuki are after Naruto, so why not take Naruto with you? He’s trained for the past three years with Jiraiya, hasn’t he? Besides, what better place to get stronger?” Tsunade asked him in a perfectly calm tone. “Now then, you have an hour to gather them at the village gate. Good luck.”

“I have just the ones in mind,” Kakashi added as he walked out the door and rushed out of the building.

One hour later, a group of ten ninjas was gathered at the village’s front gate. The group consisted of Kakashi, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara, Might Guy, Rock Lee, Choji Akamichi, Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga and Jiraiya the Toad Sage.

“Man, this is such a drag. What’s so important as to take us from the village for a whole year?” Shikamaru said with a sigh.

“Aw, come on, Shikamaru. I bet it’ll be fun. Maybe we can try some foreign cuisine while we’re at it,” Choji said with a grin.

“All right! Lee, Neji, we’ve got to give it our all in this mission!” yelled the always high-spirited Guy. “Let’s double our strength over the next year.”

“No sensei! Triple it!” Lee cried with excitement.

“Where do you guys get your energy?” Neji said in a hollow voice.

“Well, they’ll need that energy,” Kakashi reminded him. “According to the Hokage, it should take us about two or three weeks to get there. 10 to 13 days if we hurry.”

“I don’t see why we have to go on this mission,” Naruto said angrily. “We should be trying to find Sasuke, or at least moving against the Akatsuki.”

“Come on, Naruto. Where’s you sense of adventure?” said Jiraiya with a smile. “This mission could really turn you into a real ninja legend, just like you’ve always desired. Even the Hokage have never had a mission like this. Besides, I can get some valuable research done for my next book,” he added with a perverted grin on his face.

“You’re full of it, pervy sage.”

“You never know, Naruto,” Sakura said encouragingly. “Maybe we’ll run into Sasuke at some point down the road.”

“I’ve got to do my best. I’ve got to be strong for this one,” Hinata said quietly to herself. This time for sure…Naruto…

“All right, team. We have our instructions. Let’s move out!” Kakashi said, and everyone leaped into action and broke off at a run, right out of the village, heading towards Hogwarts.

Chapter End

Whew...so many characters in this...my head's spinning!

You're right. I'll try to prevent new character appearances for a while now, at least after the InuYasha gang arrives. I plan to have Death Note and DBZ roles minor and brief, so it should get easier to follow soon enough. I'll try and keep it steady for a while so that everything can settle in.
