Wizard and Deat Reaper: Hogwarts
Chapter 2: Creating a Plan

"As you said in your letter sent via Kisuke Urahara to Soul Society, you need some shinigami in disguise to become Hogwarts" Kyouraku said calmly. "I'm sorry I couldn't give you eight, as you asked. Soul Society itself is still improving itself after the war. So we sent them, "Kyouraku put his head on Ichigo and Toushiro," which I think is perfectly suited to this task."

"That's it," said Dumbledore.

"Just... two shinigami?" sirius asked doubtfully. He stared at the two young shinigami in disbelief. To him, Ichigo and Toushiro look like ordinary children, regardless of the merciful weapons they both have.

"Yes, both of them" said Kyouraku kalem. Looking at the uncertain views of the witches, Kyouraku immediately said, "Don't worry, they are more than capable. A power equal to the level of commander-well, Commander Hitsugaya is indeed a commander, anyway - so they need not be doubted. I have also considered their abilities with this mission. They're the right combination. Sharp minded," Kyouraku glanced at Toushiro, then glanced at Ichigo, "and good physical strength. Even though their personalities seem to be opposite."

"It's not clear, though," muttered Toushiro, who only Kyouraku could hear, who snorted amusedly.

Next, they discuss how to disguise and the entry of Ichigo and Toushiro to Hogwarts. They will play the role of transfer students from Japan, from the magic school Shinou Academy. "It was the training academy of the aspiring shinigami" Kyouraku said, as Mad-Eye Moody asked. "The place those who have potential as shinigami are trained to control their reiatsu, train their combat abilities, and other qualities that a shinigami demands. I thought this would be the closest alibi to right, because it was troublesome if you had to make up the name of the school. After all, if anyone were to realize their special abilities," Kyouraku glanced at Ichigo and Toushiro, "they could improvise much more easily."

"But I've never been to Shinou" Ichigo said, frowning. "Toushiro is easy, he is a Shinou alumnus. But me? All I know is, I'm still a Karakura High School student."

"THE SMA?" chirps Sirius astonished. "You're Mugg-I mean ordinary man?"

"Substitute shinigami," Ichigo kalem said. "I'm alive, you know, but I have shinigami powers. So yeah, this is it. Two lives in one body."

"How-how?"

"Later on," said Toushiro flatly, stopping Sirius Black's curious question. He looked at Ichigo. "You don't need to worry, we've made a fake document about your presence in Shinou, along with data about your academic activities, so you really look like a Shinou student."

Toushiro gives Ichigo a large brown envelope. The curious Ichigo instantly pulled out a few sheets of paper inside and read them. He stared at it in disbelief. His name was indeed on the paper, as a student of Shinou Academy, even complete with transcripts of the values of the subjects of the academy. He looked at the photo of himself wearing the shinigami academy uniform while shaking his head.

"God. You've come this far" he commented.

"It's not hard to make that one" Kyouraku said casually. "As long as you can get approval from Centra 46, it's all easy. After all Principal Shinou was one of my old teachers, and he was happy to help."

"wait. How did you get my picture?" Ichigo waved his registration papers. "I remember very well this photo for admission to High School two and a half years ago!"

Kyouraku is happy. "You certainly think your father took part in this plan, don't you? He gets the picture and Kisuke edits it. Nice, eh?"

A faint twitch appeared on Ichigo's temple.

"What about Toushiro?" ask Ichigo.

"She's even easier" smiles Kyouraku. "All of his academic data while in Shinou are still stored neatly. Personal archives, data from Shinou, to the Great Seireitei Library in the Data Center Division 12. All we've changed is the date, so, it's all done."

"Your name is in the Great Library?" ichigo asked, narrowing his eyes at his white-haired colleague.

"What else is on your mind? I'm the commander, after all," said Toushiro flatly.

"Yeah, right," said Ichigo muttering.

"Well, to support the story, I think you need to learn kidou, Kurosaki-kun," Kyouraku added cheerfully.

"What?!"

"Yes, learn kidou. That way the suspicion that may arise will be smaller. You remember that a shinigami mastered four basic competencies, namely zanjutsu, houhou, hakuda, and kidou. Your zanjutsu is unquestionable," Kyouraku glared at Zangetsu. "You're developing really well for this one. Houhou and hakuda are already one package, with Yoruichi Shihouin as your teacher, plus before you become a substitute shinigami you get a black belt of karate, so I don't doubt you either. But for kidou, you're a big zero."

"But I am. okay," Ichigo gave up under Kyouraku's ludicrous gaze. "Who taught me?"

"Hitsugaya's commander, of course," Kyouraku said cheerfully.

The witches could see the shock on Ichigo's face, which turned towards the expressionless Toushiro.

"No way," said Ichigo limp in. "I must be having a nightmare."

"Don't overdo it, Kurosaki-kun," said Kyouraku, still pitched cheerfully. "The Hitsugaya pro commander about kidou although rarely used in battle-Hyourinmaru toh is basically a kidou type so using it together is just a waste of energy."

Ichigo doesn't seem so sure. To be honest, he did not intend to doubt Toushiro's ability. What he was worried about was what Toushiro would do during the training.

"I won't be able to kill you with kidou, Kurosaki, if that's what you're afraid of," Toushiro said calmly, making some of the witches seem a bit surprised. Ichigo raised an eyebrow.

"I doubt" he murmured softly, but enough for all of them to hear, "you have more than one motive for it. And how do you know what my mind is?"

"Luckily guess," Toushiro chimed in.

Discussions continued about the mechanisms for registering the two shinigami to Hogwarts. Given that Ichigo and Toushiro are from Japan, they must be registered with the Ministry of Magic, so as not to arouse suspicion for their presence at Hogwarts. Not to mention, the Ministry of Magic's suspicion was great because Dumbledore had informed Voldemort's return, which was denied his validity by them. Therefore, later they would go to the Ministry of Magic to take care of their move.

"Is it okay to let the two of them take care of themselves?" ask Mrs Weasley worried. "After all, they remain visible as schoolchildren, it would be suspicious if they went to the Ministry unaccompanied."

"I know that," said Kyouraku kindly. He looked at Ichigo and Toushiro with a big smile. Ichigo immediately understood, there is something not good here. "I was actually planning to send Ukitake as, uh, your guardian, considering him ,uh," Kyouraku said, refraining from laughing, "at first glance Commander Hitsugaya's father would be mistaken. But lately his health deteriorated and I asked Commander Kuchiki to-"

"No way!" ichigo exclaimed, making Mundungus Fletcher jumped in shock. He looked at Kyouraku in disbelief; toushiro gave him a reproachful look. "Whoever don't be Byakuya! He's gonna kill me first hand!"

"Kuchiki's commander won't be," said Kyouraku chuckling, while the witches looked a bit confused. Who is this Commander Kuchiki who made Ichigo afraid like that. "He'll come tomorrow the day after to Grimmauld Place and take care of everything. Actually I asked him to come tomorrow, but he had to attend a meeting with the Nobles Elders of the Kuchiki Family, and he couldn't miss it."

"Why not the other." lamented Ichigo.

"Well, Commander Soi Fon is still missing from his mission, and you know how compact Commander Hirako, Otoribashi, Muguruma, and Aikawa are, if they are dealing with diplomatic affairs. Commander Kurotsuchi kicked me out of his lab before I even said 'good morning', and surely you didn't expect Zaraki to take care of it, did you? Best candidate, yes, Commander Kuchiki."

"Good balance" Ichigo said sarcastically.

"Stop being silly," said Toushiro flatly. "Kuchiki isn't stupid, he won't kill you even if he really wants to"

"Thank you for your help, Toushiro," said Ichigo cynically.

"-even if that happens, you think I'll let you guys duel and open a disguise?" toushiro continued as if there were no interruptions. Ichigo looked at her with eyebrows almost disappearing into the children of her hair. Ichigo then grinned.

"yes too. But," Ichigo looked at my Kyoura, "you didn't mean to set me up with two polar commanders, did you?"

"Commander Kuchiki and Commander Hitsugaya? Nope, no. Everything's been arranged, isn't it Commander Hitsugaya?"

Toushiro replied with a nod, and Ichigopun stopped protesting. The discussion continues. Dumbledore told them that after confirming their presence in England, they would receive a letter of notice from Hogwarts to explain what they needed during their time at school. After the business of taking care of the transfer of the two fake students was completed, the meeting was over. Dumbledore closed the meeting and resigned first. He greeted Kyouraku while apologizing for having to leave first, which was greeted casually by the Supreme Commander.

"Supreme Commander," Toushiro spoke up after Dumbledore closed the kitchen door behind him, and he and Ichigo reassembled each other's zanpakuto on their backs," during our time at Hogwarts, do we need to use gigai?"

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it," said Kyouraku cheerfully.

"The body of the surrogate" Ichigo explained. "Usually used by shinigami who are on duty in the Human World in a long time and need to interact to gather information. You know, in the form of shinigami means in the form of spirits, ordinary humans cannot see our form."

"Then you're like ghosts, aren't you?" ask Mundungus.

"Well, more or less so. Well, how, Kyouraku-san? If we need to I'll ask Urahara-san to bring my body here."

"No need, Kurosaki-kun. Indeed, you need a solid form, because zanpakutou you need to be hidden." Kyouraku glanced towards Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu. "There could be a massacre parade. But you're not gonna wear regular gigai. It's." Kyouraku gave two silver bracelets each to Ichigo and Toushiro. As he spoke again, Kyouraku highlighted Ichigo who was still observing the bracelet in surprise, while Toushiro immediately put it on. "This is Division 12's new invention, the Automatic Gigai Bracelet Hiding Shinigami-Existence"

"Creative people make a name" Ichigo commented.

"well, you're right" said Kyouraku. "I'd rather call it the Portable Gigai Bracelet. Well, the bracelet serves to seal the shinigami reiatsu, like a regular gigai. The difference is, the sealing is not covered by an artificial body, but rather a spell on the bracelet, which can make the shinigami form solid, seal the zanpakuto, and suppress your reiatsu up to eighty percent."

"Eh?"

"The function is the same as the Barrier Seal," Toushiro said. "We didn't use full force during the mission, Kurosaki. Twenty percent, unless there is an urgent situation where Limit Lifts are allowed. The bracelet will be active with the same command word as the shikai mode activation, but simply call it your zanpakuto name. The release is the same."

"Wait," Sirius said. "What do you mean by 'not using full force'?"

"That would be very dangerous, Black," said Toushiro flatly. "Our Reiatsu can be destructive to the human condition, physically as well as mentally."

"But is it okay if it's only twenty percent? You remember the first time you went to Karakura and you got battered, almost killed instead" Ichigo said, making some witches look at Toushiro curiously.

"Situation's different. It was the first time I faced Arrancar. Clearly," Toushiro looked at Ichigo sharply, "we will wear this gigai even though I know clearly neither I nor you will like it."

"I don't like it because I have my own body" Ichigo frowned, looking at my Kyoura. "why don't I just use my real body?"

"You need to live your normal life, and it's Mod Soul who does it" Kyouraku said casually. "But you protested a lot, yeah."

"of course! Who can calm down if that perverted Mod Soul doesn't clearly replace me? My image could be broken later."

"Don't worry, Kurosaki-kun, you certainly know that as long as you're here Lieutenant Kuchiki will accompany Kon to take your place, making sure he acts like you."

"I hope so." Ichigo looked at Kyouraku seriously. "I've been struggling to raise my ranking in school from 32 to 11, if my grades are freefall because I'm not in Karakura, just be careful."

"You're threatening the Supreme Commander?" Toushiro raised an eyebrow.

"No! It's not! It means Kon!" ichigo said hurriedly. "I will beat him to satisfaction! Ha!"

"Well, you better put the bracelet on now" suggested Kyouraku.

"How do I activate the spell?" ask Ichigo while putting on the silver bracelet. The witches were now staring at them with interested gazes.

"Bring your reiats to the bracelet and call your zanpakuto name. Like these. Hyourinvaru." Toushiro was silent for a moment, concentrating. During that time, his shinigami body shimmered with a white chaya that was very familiar to two other shinigami, the Toushiro reiatsu color. The light grew brighter until it made Toushiro invisible. Two seconds later the light disappeared and Toushiro stood up, still in his place with a different appearance. He no longer wears his shihakusou and haori, even his katana disappears. He now wears a maroon blazer over a black shirt, black jeans, and white sneakers.

"Wow," Tonks commented, grinning.

"Your turn, Kurosaki," said Toushiro kalem, flexing his arm which was a bit odd to him.

"Yes," said Ichigo lazily. He concentrated, letting his reiatsu out to center on the silver bracelet on his left wrist. "Zangetsu."

The strange sensation that seemed to be pressing down on his body was really uncomfortable, while the bluish color of his reiatsu shrouded his body, growing thicker and blinding him He felt the air sucked from his lungs, and he felt the weight of zanpakuto metal on his back and waist disappear, accompanied by a familiar protest at the back of his mind. The sensation disappeared a few seconds later, and Ichigo took a deep breath, feeling his entire joints somewhat stiff. He moved his fingers, feeling the ganjl crackle from there. Ichigo realizes he is no longer in his shinigami form. He wore casual clothes, a dark blue shirt whose long sleeves rolled up to his elbows and black jeans, with blue-and-white sneakers, but he looked at Toushiro in annoyance.

"You didn't say the process was so bad!"

Toushiro shrugged his shoulders. "Now do you know what shinigami feels like in a gigai, hm? Especially Kurotsuchi's work."

Ichigo shook his head. "That's why you don't like it."

"Yep. He's a genius, but a nutcase."

"Well, the business here is done, then," said Kyouraku gladly, put on his caping hat. "If there is any important news, just send it through the Hell Butterfly or Soul Pager. It's yours, Kurosaki-kun." Kyouraku gave Ichigo a black model smartphone.

"I think Muggle communication tools don't work at Hogwarts" McGonagall said.

"It's different from a regular phone" Toushiro said, showing her the same modeled phone, but white. "Soul Pager is designed for shinigami communication tools, as well as for hollow detection, and several other functions. The magic territory doesn't get in the way of how it works."

"But it's wise not to show it to the audience" Kyouraku said. "Make this a secret way of communication. Therefore, later you must have an owl, for camouflage." Toushiro nodded. "And Kurosaki-kun, I have already entered all the important numbers in your Soul Pager; your home phone number, Urahara-san, the commanders, and your close friends in Karakura. But be careful, don't spread your number to people who have nothing to do with your shinigami life."

"okay."

"And Commander Hitsugaya, nothing more than I expected from you, reports every week." Toushiro nodded. "And don't worry, you'll be free of your daily paperwork."

Toushiro looked at Kyouraku with widened eyes in shock. "And let Matsumoto take care of all that?"

Kyouraku smiled broadly. He patted Toushiro on the shoulder. "You have to trust your own lieutenant, right? He's a loyal and pleasant subordinate, if you ask me my opinion"

"But-"

"Already, Toushiro. Is it hard to stop thinking about your fucking paperwork for a second?" ichigo said frowned, but he kept his laughter in check. "Rangiku-san can take care of Division 10, he's a lieutenant, it's been decades longer than you've been a commander, even."

"At the same time you need a bit of a workload reduction" Kyouraku said with a fatherly smile. "Later you, uh, what's the term, drown yourself in work? Think of this mission as a vacation for you." Toushiro seemed to disagree. Kyouraku sighed. He knew the stubbornness of this young commander beside him. "Don't push yourself, Commander Hitsugaya. After the war is over you force yourself to pursue that 'limit. Hard training and interludes are just paperwork. You forgot to rest, eh? Ukitake's right, you're making yourself thinner."

Kyouraku turned his head to the left as if judging Toushiro's appearance. Ichigo only realized his shinigami friend did look thinner than before, at least before the Winter War. He recalled, before transforming into his gigai, haori Miik commander Toushiro seemed a bit too big for the white hair. Even now Ichigo could see that Toushiro's face looked more thin.

Toushiro looked rather uneasy, with several witches looking at him curiously. He shook his head slowly, a sign he did not care about his physical condition.

"I feel absolutely fine," he said flatly.

"Of course you'd say that!" kyouraku said cheerfully. But then he said in a slow and solemn tone, so that the witches would not hear him, except for Sirius who stood closest to them. "Everything needs to be done, son. You're young, you've got a long way to go, and there's a lot you can learn. And never listen to what Aizen tells you." Ichigo looked at Toushiro's shoulder looking stiff. "Your youth is not your weakness, you just need to improve. Well, use the best time during here. After all, the wounds after the last war have not recovered properly. You can heal yourself while you're here." Kyouraku. "Time to go home! Or Nanao-chan will be bullying me for leaving all those reports for her. Take care of yourself and your thoughts, both of you. Good luck with the mission."

My kyouraku saluted and bowed politely to the witches. But before he stepped out of the kitchen door, he stopped and looked at Toushiro.

"Don't worry Lieutenant Hinamori," he said with an understanding smile; toushiro looked rather surprised. "Division 4 will do its best for him. You got my promise."

Ichigo looks at Toushiro's shoulder not as stiff as Aizen's name is called. The 10th Division Commander replied in a soft voice, "Thank you, Supreme Commander"
