Wizard and Deat Reaper: Hogwarts
Chapter 3

"Oi, Toushiro." Ichigo looked at Toushiro after Kyouraku left. Some of the witches also came home with Sirius, except for Snape who left immediately without saying a word. Meanwhile, Mrs Weasley also went out of the kitchen to call her children, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger. The witches who were still in the room again sat around the dining table.

"What?"

"Your wounds haven't healed yet, have you?"

"It's none of your business, Kurosaki."

"But it could be a serious problem" Ichigo said, ignoring Toushiro's sharp gaze which clearly said I-no-want-talk-about-it.

"I told you it's none of your business."

"The latter attack was quite serious, you know," Ichigo said loudly, but in Japanese, the witch's attention was now directed at the two of them. The arrival of Mrs Weasley with the children barely escaped their attention. "You're in a coma for two weeks and Zero Division has to take you to the King's Realm, and you're saying it's none of my business? You're my friend! Hell, and you're still calling me 'Kurosaki'! What if the three of me were with my sisters? Still call Kurosaki too?"

"What's this?" asked Mrs Weasley, looking at Ichigo and Toushiro suspiciously. The two of them immediately avoided staring at each other.

"Just a little quarrel, Molly, it seems," said Mr. Weasley, smiling doubtfully at the two young shinigami. But Mrs Weasley looked at Toushiro full of probing. He frowned to give an intense gaze, looking around for the peculiarity of the outward-looking Toushiro, which he failed to find. Mrs Weasley did not know, Ichigo thought to his disdain, how highly trained Toushiro hid emotions and pain, both physical and mental.

"So your Supreme Commander said you were wounded"

"I'm fine, thank you," said Toushiro flatly, but he stared at Ichigo fiercely. "Don't talk insignificant, Kurosaki."

Ichigo just grunted unsatisfiedly. But he decided not to prolong this problem if he did not want to make his best friend's mood ugly. He turned his head towards the young witch who had just come, who looked at them curiously. Clearly they did not expect the presence of the two normal human shinigami, or know who they really were. "Yo," said Ichigo, raising his hand in a lazy salute.

"Eh," a bushy brunette girl looked a bit nervous, while the others looked curiously, "hi."

"Mum," said one of the twins who looked at Ichigo and Toushiro with a silly bloon look, "who are they?"

"They're transfer students who will be studying at Hogwarts this year" Mr Weasley said, seeing his wife still seem to disagree with the appointment of a second shinigami who he said were no more than two teenagers. "It's Ichigo Kurosaki," said Mr. Weasley as he hung on the orange hair, "and Toushiro Hitsugaya. Well, you two, these are my children." Add Mr. Weasley while introducing his children and Harry and Hermione. Mr. Weasey glanced at his children, Harry and Hermione, who looked surprised.

"Replacement?" ron did not believe it.

"Not just a transfer student, but. They will also keep Hogwarts," Sirius said flatly.

"But they seem to be the same age as us" said Hermione, looking at Ichigo and Toushiro doubtfully.

"Actually Hermione-san, I'm seventeen years old," Ichigo said scratching the back of his non-itchy head. "Seireitei said I should pretend like fifteen years for the mission this time."

"Why?" ask Harry hot. He looked at his guardian, Sirius with annoyance. "And why does Hogwarts need to be guarded?"

"Dumbledore thought so," said Sirius shrugging his shoulders. "He saw the danger, and took care of it unbeknownst to the Ministry who would obviously disagree is to infiltrate the shinigami into Hogwarts."

"But they" protested Harry, who was cut by Toushiro's words.

"In addition, Voldemort's return also had an impact on the dimensional balance," Toushiro said flatly, making all eyes directed at him.

"Eh, I guess you better not tell them," said Mrs Weasley denouncing.

"They deserve to know" said Toushiro kalem. "So they know the reason for our existence here and can tread carefully later."

"What does it mean to disturb the balance of dimensions?" ask Tonks wonder.

"Voldemort (Toushiro ignored most of the witches in the room beaming as Toushiro called his name in a casual tone) had violated the most sacred form of life rule, preventing death. Mortal, it shouldn't act that way, and the only ones who can do so are those with above average abilities, making them the target of hollows. Hollows are human spirits infected with negative energies that make them turn into cannibal creatures, eating fellow hollows, or other spirits to maintain their existence."

"Then Voldemort is potentially eaten and becomes hollow?" ask Ichigo.

Toushiro looked at him with a sharp look. "You didn't listen during the briefing? What are you doing, Dad?"

"Well, you know," said Ichigo, grinning nervously, "I don't understand what Kurotsuchi is saying. He rambled on and did not receive any questions!" Ichigo seemed nervous about accepting deathglare that was candelae higher than before. "Oh, come! You know exactly what he looks like! Besides you're the commander and you're a genius, you're gonna swallow all that crazy clown science talk!"

"At least you said well, never mind," Toushiro sighed. "Damn, why is it that every mission I have is with idiots?"

"Oi!" ichigo Protest.

But Toushiro completely ignored Ichigo now. He looked at the witches, continuing his explanation. "Yes, Voldemort could potentially be eaten and or become hollow. But the worst possibility that would happen was that he controlled the hollows."

"How can you?" ask Ichigo.

"As I said earlier, his spiritual abilities are above average. Obviously why, because she's a witch. I don't know to what extent, but from Kurotsuchi's information, he's Arrancar's classmate. Not as strong as Espada, but."

"We can beat him like that" Ichigo said somewhat relievedly.

"Of course," Toushiro said as if it was clear enough. "The problem, Kurosaki, is that we are guarding all of Hogwarts, whose contents are witches who, after all, have spiritual energy, although not great, they remain the target of hollows. Imagine if Voldemort had come to Hogwarts with the hollows and how troublesome it all was. Not to mention..."

"yeah. Youre right. Wait for. 'Not yet'?"

"No," Toushiro said in an unconcerned tone, making Ichigo raise an eyebrow. "It's okay."

"So you said this hollow eats spirits" said Lupin carefully. "And you are shinigami which means you are also-"

"We are also spirits" Toushiro said. "But there's nothing to worry about from Kurosaki, he's basically human." With the power of hollow and Quincy's blood, Toushiro added in his heart.

"And you're a pure shinigami" Sirius said.

"And a commander," said Ichigo, grinning. "No hollowed lackey could touch her if she held Hyourinmaru."

"Why?" ask Fred to know.

"They'll freeze and become ice chips, done," Ichigo chuckled.

"Well, yeah." Cut Mrs Weasley. "We'll continue the discussion later. Now I need all hands to help me make dinner. No, you two stay there" added Mrs Weasley as two shinigami would stand from her seat. "You too, Harry, son. You just came from a long trip."

"We just passed Senkaimon and it only took five minutes with the shunpo-Speak Step Technique" Ichigo said.

"But you're guests here" said Mrs Wasley in a final tone. Ichigo scratches the back of his head that doesn't itch, making Harry sure it's like a habit for him. Ichigo looked at Toushiro, who shrugged and returned to sit comfortably, pulling out his phone to type something.

"So," Sirius looked at Ichigo and Toushiro alternately, "you make me a little curious."

"But me or a shinigami?" toushiro asked without lifting his face from the screen.

"both."

"I doubt you'll get both, Sirius-san. He won't tell you much about himself" Ichigo said.

"A little bit is also okay," said Sirius kindly. "For example. oh, yes. Ichigo said he was seventeen. Then how old are you?"

"Fourty-two, this December," Toushiro said lightly.

"What?!" The Weasley twins each placed a pile of dishes on the table with a loud bang. The two stared at Toushiro in disbelief, as well as the other witches.

"How can you look no more than twelve years old?" tanya Tonks was very surprised. "Is that why your hair is white?"

"It's the original color," said Toushiro kalem, still busy typing. Inwardly, Toushiro included 'how you can look no more than twelve years' in his list of most-cursed introductions. "And the physical growth of spirits in Soul Society is different from that of humans."

"But you didn't grow much, did you? Seventeen months without seeing you is still the same, the only difference is your hairstyle-GYAH!"

Harry was convinced that Toushiro had just kicked Ichigo's shins when he heard a loud hump under the table. The topic of height seems like a dangerous area to be the idea of the story if dealing with Toushiro.

"Fourty-two," repeated Mr. Weasley, who put the boiled potatoes that had been pounded onto the table. "Young for shinigami size, eh?"

"Yes" said Toushiro.

"He is also the youngest commander ever appointed in the history of Soul Society" Ichigo added, glancing at his petite shinigami best friend. "I think the others are over a hundred and fifty years old."

"You're the commander?" ginny asked in great astonishment; the Weasley twins gaped in amazement, though the effect seemed ridiculous, while Mrs Weasley looked at Toushiro with a disapproving look.

"Yes. Division 10 Commander, Investigative Division."

"What division is that exactly?" sirius asked in curiosity. "Is it one of the departments of government agencies, such as the Ministry of Magic?"

"I don't really know about your Ministry of Magic. The Gotei 13-Thirteen Protective Forces is a military organization, not a government," Toushiro said, still typing. Harry was astonished as well, how Toushiro could give an explanation while typing a message on his phone. "Together with two other organizations, Centra 46 which takes care of the judicial matters and Kidou Corps which becomes the support squad, we maintain the balance of the Human World and the Spirit World. There is no government in Soul Society."

"What about the Soul King-King of Souls?" ask Ichigo, frowning. "And Zero Division?"

"You've been there before and you're still asking about it? You really are Isshin Shiba's son." This made Ichigo frown even deeper. "No one ever knew what or who the Soul King really was. But that designation was given not because he presided over the entire content of Soul Society, but because he was a symbol for the balance of the world. Its power that makes both the Human World and the Spirit World stand alone and balanced, each in his own life. The Zero Division consists of five shinigami who were once the commanders of the Gotei 13, but the strength of one of them, even exceeds the two shinigami. Their job is to keep the Soul King in the King's Realm, a dimension separate from the Soul Society. And as for my divisional duties, we specialize in information gathering, well, more or less just like detectives. The difficulty is when you get an informant who holds the main info, but he won't tell. Unlike Division 2, we are not allowed to kill, which makes it complicated and troublesome."

"But not all problems have to be solved with lives lost, right?" lupin said, looking rather uncomfortable.

Toushiro shrugged his shoulders.

"How's your daily activities?" ask Sirius, switching the conversation. Ichigo immediately grinned wide hearing this. "Lho's? Why?"

"Look, Sirius-san," Ichigo said with a laugh. "Level commanders and lieutenants will not plunge into the field unless the case is really serious and orders from the supreme commander. Because of this, most of Toushiro's days were confined in an office with mountains of paperwork that even his lieutenant was not interested in working on. In short, his days are full of suffering-"

"So you're doing more work?" asked Mr. Weasley, frowning.

"Not really," Toushiro said. "There's also watching my division members rehearsal, or I'm training myself. Speaking of practice, Kurosaki," Toushiro closed his phone, "tomorrow we start kidou practice."

"Eh? Tomorrow?"

"Yes. Tomorrow. We're through meditation, you can do that. We will start with reiatsu control and maybe directly try the three lowest spells. But you learned the theory first, I guess."

"Study theories from where? A library? Is this in Soul Society?" ask Ichigo sarcastically.

"What's the point of the Supreme Commander giving you the Soul Pager if it's not usable, Baka?" said Toushiro, looking at Ichigo intently.

Ichigo stared back, but his gaze looked more like a surprised look. He took his cell phone, watched it for a moment. "It can be made to break into data?"

Harry and Sirius stared at the phone with interest, then at Toushiro. The white-haired Shinigami sighed.

"Can."

"The cool!" smirk Ichigo.

"You're not going to use it recklessly to break into Seireitei's data," Toushiro said sharply, as Ichigo started activating his phone. Ichigo looked up, looking somewhat disappointed.

"Why?" ask Sirius.

"The Soul Pager was made by Division 12, they recognized the secret code inside. If you're any layman about it, you'll destroy that Soul Pager and Kurotsuchi has reason to make you his guinea pig, and you know what that means."

Ichigo shuddered and immediately closed his phone.

"I'll open the data. All you do is read and learn."

"Why can you and Ichigo not?" ask Bill wonder.

"You don't have to break into data just to learn kidou. Data about kidou can be compiled through the Division 'public library, actually, but we also take data from Division 12 because they developed a new kidou. Only, the thing is, your Soul Pager is identified in your name. Kurotsuchi doesn't believe in outsiders easily - only insiders don't. I don't like dealing with him either, but Division 12 data is the most accurate, and my Soul Pager serial number is more compatible than yours, so this makes things easier."

"So paranoid" Ichigo commented. He looked at Touhiro, somewhat astonished. "From your tone, she doesn't believe you either, then?"

Toushiro shrugged his shoulders. "From the beginning he was, too, considering that I just happened to be the commander. But," Toushiro frowned deeply, "he also assumed I could be an interesting specimen-"

Ichigo looked nauseous. "Why?"

"Because of Hyourinmaru," said Toushiro quietly.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow. The witches looked at him in confusion.

"I mean-oh!" Ichigo seemed to understand. The theft of the King Seal in the past seems to still make the 2nd Division scientist interested in making Toushiro one of the objects of his research. After that stop asking questions. According to Harry, they had come to a topic where Toushiro did not want to talk about it. For some reason, Harry could only guess it was something bad.

"Sirius," said Mundungus who seemed to have not listened at all to their conversation, but meticulously scrutinized an empty trophy. "It's real silver, pal?"

"Yes," said Sirius, looking at the chalice with disdain. "The finest silver of the fifteenth century was goblin-made, embossed with the coat of arms of the Black family."

"This can 'came, then," Mundungus murmured as he rubbed the chalice with the tip of the sleeve of his robe. Ichigo was rather surprised to see Toushiro frowning sharply at Mundungus, his expression showing that he did not like this one witch.

"Eh," Ichigo said, making Toushiro's attention diverted, "about what Byakuya also has such a thing, huh?"

"No," said Toushiro. "Their honor is not seen from the treasure, Kurosaki. Even so the family crest and their names will appear in every piece of Soul Society history."

"Is this Byakuya's family so important?" ask Sirius. He was rather pessimistic about the concept of nobility, either West or East. For him nobility is a ridiculous thing, - a very sad and annoying blood-status-guarantor. No matter how bad you are, as long as you bear a noble title or name, it is worth more than your brain or the price of your hard work.

"Klan Kuchiki was one of the four great noble clans of Soul Society, of course that meant they were important. Because of what, I also don't really understand because it's an internal factor. But the Kuchiki Clan, along with the other three clans became symbols of honor, credibility, and order from the Soul Society, as well as the King's Realm." Toushiro sighed. "In recognition of their contribution to maintaining stability alongside the Gotei 13, the Kuchiki Clan was given the special honor of occupying leadership in Division 6, the Law Enforcement Division, as an intermediary between the four nobles and Soul Society. Kuchiki will come here the day after tomorrow, you can judge for yourself what he looks like. I think he's a competent man, commander or clan head."

Sirius looked at Toushiro somewhat doubtfully. If his fellow commander said so, it meant that the concept of the noble Soul Society was different...

"Very competent," Ichigo said as he yawned sleepily. "Stiff, rule-abiding, lousy sense of humor... Sirius-san, if you want to know the image of Byakuya, this Toushiro is eleven and twelve with him-"

"Fred-George-DON'T, JUST TAKE IT TO THE TABLE!" scream Mrs Weasley.

Ichigo, Toushiro, Harry, Sirius, and Mundungus turned their heads and ducked away from the table just in time. Fred and George had bewitched a large chunk of stewed meat and vegetables, an iron vessel containing Butterbeer, and a heavy wooden cutting board of bread cutters right with the knife, to fly up to the table. The large cauldron slid to the end of the table, stopping just before it reached the edge of the table by leaving a long charred mark on the surface of the table. Butterbeer's vessel fell thumping splattering its contents everywhere. The bread knife slipped from the cutting board and stuck it right where Sirius' hand had been.

"CHUCK!" yelled Mrs Weasley, making Toushiro flinch. Ichigo could only shake his head to see the Weasley twins being pushed all out by his mother. Harry and Sirius laughed, while Mundungus swore because he fell down with his chair so shocked. Mrs Weasley's tirade only stopped when she mentioned Percy's name, which made Mr. Weasley's expression appear stiff, before Bill, his eldest son, invited them all to eat.

"Who is this Percy?" ichigo asked Lupin who happened to be sitting next to him.

"The third son of the Weasley family," said Lupin grimly. "He works at the Ministry, and because Fudge, you know, he trusts the Ministry more than the truth. It got the boy out of the house, fighting with his parents."

Dinner at the dreary Black family home was arguably quite pleasant. Both Ichigo and Toushiro had their first meal together, attended by many people with a family atmosphere like this. Ichigo, at least with his two younger siblings and his father, with his mother when Masaki was alive, or with Rukia when the girl was staying at his house. That's the most he's ever experienced. As for Toushiro, dinner with the family - or what he considers family - is most when he is with Momo and Grandma in Junrinan. If you want to calculate based on the number, then dinner with the commanders or when with all members of the division is included in the category. The atmosphere they were facing this time somewhat made them awkward. It seems that this was noticed by Sirius.

"Why are you guys so tense?" tanyanya. "Don't worry, you're on duty as soon as you get to Hogwarts."

"Hehe," Ichigo smiled stiffly. "No, just a little weird..."

"Why, Son?" ask Mr. Weasley for attention. "Not used to this much, are you?"

On target.

"Well, yeah... Usually it's just me and my sisters and my father, the same mother when she was around" Ichigo added slowly.

"Oh, sorry," said Mr. Weasley immediately.

"No, no. Not problem. It's just... Yeah, that's... What are you, Toushiro?"

Toushiro shrugged his shoulders. "It's different too. But it's not a problem."

"What was your dinner like at Seireitei?" ichigo asked as he scooped the vegetables into his plate.

"Obviously. Sometimes with commanders, or with members of my division, or cook for themselves. Anything, as long as it's not Matsumoto who's cooking."

"Why?" sirius asked in curiosity.

"None of his dishes are worth eating" said Toushiro Kalem, while the witches seemed rather shocked to hear. "But he sent me food a lot, even though I ended up throwing it away."

"More disrespect a little of his feelings" Ichigo's nosy comment. "Eating a little won't kill you, will it?"

"Oh, yeah? I entered Division 4 the first time I tried it," said Toushiro Sharp. "If you want, try eating chicken curry with mayonnaise and a sprinkling of chocolate and cheese, black pepper powder, dried persimmon pieces with nori and maple syrup, and boiled tuna fish eggs. Wanna?"

The shinigami shuddered at the row of food being mixed into that one. Toushiro was admitted to the hospital after eating the unsafe food!

"Er, I don't think so," Ichigo said quickly.

Unfortunately, the end of the dinner was not very pleasant, once Harry demanded answers to some of his questions with respect to Voldemort. Mrs Weasley was opposed to having Harry informed of anything, which Sirius denied. But Mrs Weasley finally gave up, because Mr. Weasley agreed to tell Harry some things he wanted to know, as did Lupin and Tonks. Much to Harry's delight, the two shinigami also argue that Harry has the right to receive certain information he can handle.

"Not everyone?" harry asked with a frown, while Mrs Weasley ushered - rather forced - Ginny to return to her room above.

"If there's a reason why they don't want you to know, it's also a reason that not all the information you can receive" Toushiro Logis said. "And believe me, the reason is good because not everything is acceptable to a fifteen-year-old."

"Hm? I was fifteen when I first became a shinigami, hunting hollows and hunting hollow wild shinigami" Ichigo said innocently.

"Given you're anomalous and abnormal, you don't count."

Ichigo felt an abstract arrow piercing his heart until it pierced through the back hearing that toneless sentence. Tonks instead chuckled amusedly hearing that and Ichigo's expression.

"But he experienced a lot more than a fifteen-year-old" Sirius disagreed.

Toushiro sighed. "But he's still a kid, well, psychologically a teenager-"

"Then why?" cut Harry.

"You'll learn when the time comes, Potter. When you're ready, you'll receive the information you were supposed to and understand it better than if you got it now. After all," Toushiro glared at Ichigo. "even if you've experienced a lot, you still don't understand anything about the world, not even who you really are."

Ichigo snorted, while the witches looked at the two young shinigami alternately curiously. "Yeah," Ichigo said slowly, "You're right."

But just then Toushiro's phone rang, there was a call for him. Toushiro's expression was a little displeased when he saw the name of the summoner. He raised the call in a bored tone, "Matsumoto, what-"

"Commander!" even without the loudspeaker the cheerful female voice was heard very clearly by Ichigo and the witches. "I kange~n! The commander should know I'm lonely in the office alone! And no one stopped by the office! Really boring without a Commander and-"

"Sorry," Toushiro said to the witches, then walked out of the kitchen. The witches looked at him in surprise, while Ichigo grinned.

"Why?" ask Tonks. "Who called him?"

"The fire" said Ichigo amusedly. "I haven't told you that he has a lieutenant whose nature is the opposite of Toushiro's, eh? Geez, we've only been gone for at least three hours and he's been calling!"
