"Ichigo!"
Ichigo looked lazy. He saw Rangiku Matsumoto running towards him, carrying two paper bags with an annoyed expression.
"What?"
"See Taicho?"
"He should be with you, shouldn't he?" said Momo.
"He escaped! Again!" rangiku said dramatically. "I've prepared some cool clothes for her…"
"No wonder" said Renji. "Had to escape…"
"Maomoto!"
Rangiku immediately jumped in shock, immediately standing upright like an officer who got a warning from his leader. "Yes, Commander!" automatic sahut.
But, what they heard afterwards was a very familiar chuckle. Rangiku. It turned out that it was not the commander, but rather the Weasley twins who were laughing cheerfully while holding their bellies.
"Fred! George! Don't mess around!" reprimand Mrs Weasley, while some witches and shinigami laugh; yumichika is obviously the most pleased.
"I can't believe it.." George panted between his laughter.
"… You're fooled that easily!" connect Fred. He held his wand to his neck, there was a flash of a spell and then Fred spoke again, in his taicho voice. "Matsumoto! Do yourjob!"
My rang rang his waist in annoyance, "How dare you guys play me!"
"It's usually him who is harassing people," said Renji grinning while Rangiku nagged. Byakuya sighed seeing the silliness in front of him. In addition, Kon jumped straight at Rangiku, hoping that the woman would embrace him. But Rangiku smashed his fists in a lazy motion, making Kon fall smashing into the golden plate and making apple pie fly everywhere.
"Maomoto."
"Ha! It won't work!" rangiku said, lifting his chin haughtily without looking at Fred and George.
"Maomoto."
"I won't be fooled a second time!"
"good. But when people talk, it's wise to see who your opponent is."
My rang snapped in shock. Fred and George laughed even louder. Nervously he looked back. Toushiro Hitsugaya stood there, crossed his hands and raised next to the eyebrows.
"Taicho!" shocks surprised. "You surprised me! Why are you sneaking around like that?! I did not feel the presence of.Fuck with the commander and concealment of their reiatsu," he added slowly.
"I'm not sneaking around," Toushiro said.
"And why did you run away like that?" rangiku Protest.
"Don't ask a question with a clear answer," said Toushiro flatly, making Rangiku pout.
"This how?" Rangiku shook the paper bag in his hand.
"Just put it in the pile." Toushiro sighed. "Stop buying useless things. Commanders rarely descend into the Human World. I don't need a lot of things like that."
But Rangiku doesn't seem to be listening. He looked at Toushiro with a gaze full of judgment, his hand on his chin in style. "Not bad, actually. Ah, some finishing touches." Rangiku looked around for something in the paper bag, before forcing a necklace made of woven black straps with pendants shaped like silver leaves past Toushiro's head. The woman unbuttoned the top three buttons of Toushiro's red shirt. Before Toushiro protested, Rangiku pushed a pair of glasses for the petite commander to wear. Shinji chuckled as Rangiku ruffled Toushiro's hair, making him even messier than before.
"Idiot!" snapped Toushiro exasperated, rubbing the base of his nose that was hit by glasses. "What the fuck are you?!"
Rangiku laughed happily, brandishing his thumb, "Perfect!"
Mrs Weasley cleared his throat. "Maybe you should put your shirt on, son."
"No! Nah! This is cooler!" rangiku said cheerfully. "Don't take off the glasses!" rangiku exclaimed, seeing Toushiro's hand move into the hilt of the glasses. "Disguise those scars, Taicho! If you get to Shiba taicho's house, don't make Yuzu-chan cry in shock."
"Ha! I told him about it," chuckles Ichigo. "But he didn't hear me. Glasses are good. You look smart…"
"Compared to you, it's clear that his IQ is higher than yours," Uryuu sighed, while the exasperated Toushiro tried to tidy up his hair through the reflection in Neville's silver glass.
Before Ichigo avenges Uryuu, Professor McGonagall's arrival distracts him. The head of the Gryffindor House said good morning rather nonchalantly, before delivering sealed envelopes to Ichigo and Toushiro.
"What's this?" ask Ichigo astonished.
McGonagall smiled faintly. "Your OWL exam results. We're speeding up the assessment process for you two, because we think it'll be difficult to contact you after this."
"But I don't think it's that hard" Ichigo said, observing the parchment envelope. "I still live in Karakura Town…"
"And you don't have to bother yourself. The school is just a disguise for us to stay here" Toushiro said.
"We can't ignore your hard work." McGonagall nodded in disrespect. "May the result be satisfactory. Good morning." Good morning."
"What is OWL?" rangiku asked curiously after McGonagall returned to the teacher's desk.
"Abbreviation of Ordinary Wizarding Level – General Magic Level," Sirius said. " Final exam at level five for basic compulsory subjects at Hogwarts.Best grade O for Outstanding – is perfect, then E for Exceeds Expectation – is beyond expectation, and last A to Acceptable – is enough."
Toushiro glanced at his lieutenant. Rangiku's blue eyes were glued to the envelope of his OWL parchment that he placed on the table.
Toushiro sighed. "If you want to open it, just open it."
"Yay!" rangiku exclaimed cheerfully as soon as he got the permit. Some of the witches who saw Rangiku's behavior shook their heads in surprise. It seems like someone has changed their personality. Didn't the too young Toushiro act too mature and the older Rangiku look too childish?
Rangiku opened the parchment envelope enthusiastically. "Let's see! 'Ordinary Wizarding Exam Results Level – General Magic Level. Toushiro Hitsugaya managed to reach: Arithmancy.'" Rangiku stopped abruptly. His blue eyes widened staring at the line of words on the notice. He looked at his commander, then at the parchment. Command, parchment again.
"Why?" ask Shinji.
Rangiku shook his head in disbelief. "No way…"
"He can T aka Troll for," said Fred, grinning.
"… all subjects?" george continued, with the same grin.
Rangiku looked at the twins. "Just kid." Rangiku stared at the parchment again. "It's O for all subjects!"
"What right?!" exclaimed several Gryffindor children at the same time, surprised. The grin of the twins instantly turned into a grin of shock.
"See this! Arithmancy: O, Astronomy: O, Herbology: O, Spell: O, Japanese Classical Defense Method: O, Preservation of Magical Animals: O, Defense Against the Dark Arts: O, Herb: O, Ancient Runes: O: O, History of Magic: O, Transfiguration: O!"
"Well! That's perfect value for the last twenty years" Lupin commented.
"Crazy son." said George.
"… surpass our summed OWL!" connect Fred. The twins exchanged looks.
"Who cares?!" they shouted at the same time, laughing.
"Taicho! You scared me!" rangiku exclaimed, waving the results of the OWL Toushiro exam in front of the face of his commander.
"I told you, his genius sometimes gives me goosebumps" chirped Shinji, but his Chesire cat grin appeared on his face.
"Don't be silly," said Byakuya flatly. "That's a foreseeable thing for him."
"Yeah, whatever," said Shinji cuek. "Stay still.." Shinji looked at Toushiro, who was stirring his serration lazily. "You studying?"
"Just because there's nothing else to do" Toushiro said. "I told you school was boring…"
"But this is OWL!" hermione.
"Well, it's for witches" Ichigo said, unsealing the envelope. "We're not, eh? We don't live here, anyway. And Toushiro already has a steady job."
"Hn. A lifetime contract, living in the spirit realm, I mean," Toushiro said indifferently. Rangiku.
"What about you, Ichigo?" rangiku asked, seeing Ichigo read his OWL results.
"Not bad," murmured Ichigo.
"Yeah, try this awesome dad see it."
Isshin had suddenly appeared behind Ichigo, making the shoulder of his son who was sitting on the bench for a backrest and looked up at the parchment. "'Results of Ordinary Wizarding Exam Level – General Magic Level. Ichigo Kurosaki managed to reach.' Hm.. hm.." Isshin mangosteen, shuffling his son's orange hair. "Good job, sonny-boy! E all but three O's for Arithmancy, Japanese Classical Defense Methods, and Spells! Even if you fail on all subjects, you know I don't have a problem with that! Adolescence does not need to be spent studying hard! Make mistakes! Fall in! Get up and fix it!" Isshin said in the orator style, making some of the children near them laugh. He patted Ichigo on the shoulder, saying in a serious tone even though his eyes flashed mischievously, "You should focus on finding a son-in-law for me…"
Ichigo immediately choked on his spider juice. Fred, George, Ron, Sirius, Rangiku, Renji, and Ikkaku burst into laughter. Harry and Neville could only hold back their laughter with a grin. Hermione did not seem to know whether to laugh or be silent, making her forced to cough withholding amused.
"Your talk always has nothing to do!" furious Ichigo.
"What? It's just the hope of the old man!" isshin said without sin. He glanced at Byakuya, grinning ignorantly. "Oh. It doesn't seem like it can't, but it won't. Honestly, 'Rukia Kurosaki' or you want our surname changed to Shiba, and 'Rukia Shiba' sounds pretty good to me…"
Replace the coughed Rukia. And Byakuya, eyes as sharp as his eagle pointed at Isshin while breaking the chopsticks in his hand in half.
"See?! You know who's wrong!" exciting Ichigo. "Just teach him as you like! I'm ikhas! Sincere!"
"Ichigo! How can you talk to your father like that!" isshin whines.
"Ck, you guys made the standard too high" said Ron, ignoring the other silliness of Ichigo and his father.
"Don't worry, we have time to worry about it during the summer." Harry was silent for a moment. "There's at least one letter I can wait for."
"Oh Harry! We promise this time we'll send you a letter!" hermione looked guilty.
"ah! Right too!" Ichigo leaves behind his father who is still grumbling indistinctly. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill pen. He quickly wrote something there. Afterwards, he pulled out his magic tonkat and muttered, "Geminio!" The parchment doubled itself into several pieces, given to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville, who received two. "For Luna," said Ichigo.
They looked down, reading the parchment. The handwriting was writing something that seemed to be his home address: Kurosaki Clinic, number 24, Karakura City. Below him was his phone number.
"Don't forget, if the phone uses an international code," Ichigo said. "Send a letter with Hedwig or Pig, I'm sure they can find me easily, or I'll send Miko."
"Who's Miko?" rukia sela.
"Our ghostly birds" Ichigo said. "He won't be able to fly to Soul Society. So if you have a letter for Toushiro just send it to me. Let my dad take care of that. My father***, but he's a commander for sure because his brain isn't completely empty,…"
"Masaki! Our son is so rude!"
Ichigo. "Send me any news, which is not important even if it doesn't matter." Ichigo lowered his voice. "I doubt nothing is unimportant. It might be interesting if there's news about Voldy-Baldy in there…"
Even Harry laughed at it.
"What are you planning?"
Harry looked. He saw Toushiro staring intently at the Weasley twins who were having a serious conversation with the 10th Division lieutenant. Rangiku turned to his commander, grinning nervously.
"Taicho.." said Rangiku in a persuading voice. But, even the lens of his glasses was unable to hide the sharp gaze of the two turquoise irises, making Rangiku even more nervous. Plus, the flaw on the beautiful face gave an effect called Rangiku 'creepy'.
"I wait," said Toushiro flatly.
"Hey, hey, Shiro-chan, don't be so fierce," said the cheerful Isshin.
"Do I look bad?" tanya Toushiro flat.
Harry had to hold back his laughter. Anyone could see, the attitude of his feet was conclusive evidence of a danger sign.
"Hitsugaya-kun," Momo said reprimandingly, smiling subtly. Toushiro sighed.
Harry looked at Ron. The girl, Momo Hinamori, managed to 'tame' the danger!
"This is taicho," said Rangiku starting, not hiding the twinkle of ignorance in his eyes. "I've heard about the toad Dolores Dumbridge…"
Toushiro's eyes narrowed. He knew where this conversation was going. My people smiled widely.
"You know what I mean!"
"He's not valuable enough…"
"With such a severe fashion disaster, she was valuable enough to be taught a lesson" Yumichika said. Toushiro threw a vexed look. "Commander Hitsugaya, you see for yourself, from so many colors he chose pink! He should have. well, instead he shouldn't have shown up! Just disturb the view! Do you know I have to walk by and close my eyes every time I have him? My pretty eyes refused to see anything that was not pretty at all!"
"Your isolation needs to be reduced, I think," Ichigo commented, while Sirius shook his head in amusement.
"Ha! I also know he's been a little bit difficult for you all this time" added Rangiku slowly, so as not to be heard by others. "I can take revenge for you. We've already laid out plans last night…."
"Do you think that's all the trouble it can't handle?" Toushiro.
For the next few minutes, they could only hear Rangiku trying to persuade his commander. I don't know what I'm talking about because Rangiku speaks Japanese.
"OK," said Toushiro suddenly, looking irritated. "As far as you go."
Rangiku punched the air triumphantly.
"Mark Twain is right," Toushiro grumbled. "Never argue with a fool. They'll force you to be level with their level, and beat you with their experience."
Shinji chuckles with Sirius. Lupin who was sitting next to her shook his head in amusement.
"Who's Mark Twain?" ron asked to know.
Toushiro resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"He's your lieutenant, you know his character" said Shinji.
"And it's always hard to make him hear me. Don't exaggerate!" said Toushiro, hearing the delighted rangiku among the Weasley twins. "If I'm the one who has to do your dirty work, you'll be gukurung in the 10th Division's dungeon for a week with all your reports!"
Rangiku immediately looked over with a face of horror. "Taicho!"
"The excess is you" said Ikkaku.
"You can accompany him if you want" said Toushiro flatly.
"Taicho! You know that Division 10 dungeon is dark, cold, smelly, damp!" Rangiku. "How can you keep the prettiest lieutenant in Soul Society in there?! And taicho," Rangiku added dramatically, "they say our basement office is haunted! His dungeon used to be a horrible interrogation room…"
"We're dead, Matsumoto," said Toushiro, making some shuddering witches hear the unshackled frankness of the creeps. "Technically we're ghosts. Why are you afraid of your own kind?"
"Ghosts are just afraid of us" Renji said, chuckling.
"But you're not scary enough, if you ask me, Mr. Pineapple Chief."
Renji glared ferociously at the voice above him. Peeves the ignorant ghost floated lightly in the air, playing his bell hat with a brash grin. It seems that after the departure of the two Arrancar who 'help' the shinigami, the ghosts at Hogwarts are already brave enough to appear. And for Peeves, even though he was as disinclined by shinigami as his disdain for teachers, it did not mean that his obsolescence evaporated.
And, Toushiro stared intently at the ignorant ghost, then looked at the smiling Weasley twins happily, as if Christmas had come sooner.
"He's part of your plan, too?"
"I have an important appointment, Ice Commander," said Peeves, lowering his hat, greeting the contrived salute to the white hair. "Suffering Dolores Umbridge."
"certain. Whatever."
Peeves chuckled happily. He started humming the cheery version of Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star, throwing his pea snacks in any direction. Strangely, not a single pea was thrown down towards the shinigami.
"He really enjoyed life when he was dead" said Rukia, sounding very astonished.
"He's part of your idea too?"
"Oh, that's not the best part yet" Lee Jordan said.
"But we.." said George.
"… need a little help from you." Fred continued.
"… for the brilliant idea of the spell you cast." said Fred.
"… on our joke product!" smirk George.
"You guys almost regret what I've done" Toushiro grumbled, while Rangiku giggled beside him and Momo shook her head amusedly.
"You.." said Ikkaku hesitantly, "help them?"
"They asked, I answered," said Toushiro.
Toushiro sighed. In front of him, the Weasley twins stared at him with wide grin. Beside him, Rangiku tugged at his hand with a child-like expression asking for candy. A few meters away from him Byakuya Kuchiki also sighed.
The credibility and authority of a commander sounded less influential this time around.
"What do you want?" tanya Toushiro flat.
Fred and George's grin widened; Mrs Weasey looked at her twin sons in despair. He was sure when they were little that no one had experienced a concussion that resulted in ignorance and the potential of an acute fire, even being able to make a commander from the Spirit World change his mind!
Dolores Umbridge received a waiver from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a few days ago after the Minister of Magic officially issued an announcement on the return of Lord Voldemort. He, as the Senior Assistant Minister of Magic must of course return to the Ministry, helping the Minister overcome the difficult times that will soon occur. That meant he had to relinquish his post as Headmaster of Hogwarts, Grand Inquisitor of Hogwarts, and teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and his efforts to ensure Hogwarts was in line with the Ministry of Magic's goals and oversight. The existence of the four shinigami that Albus Dumbledore infiltrated into the school is clearly evidence that the Ministry needs to keep an eye on Hogwarts.
As he entered the Great Hall for breakfast on his last day at Hogwarts, he saw the shinigami still there, among the students. He stared at the most striking white hair on Gryffindor's desk. That white-haired commander still irritated him. He knew now where his pride and attitude came from. The Spirit World he came from made the mistake of appointing him as one of the leaders of the army, making him accept the responsibility he should not have. It must be admitted that the boy had a brain. But that's not enough to prove his ability. What is Soul Society thinking, making a boy who he thinks is nothing more than a kid who just went to Hogwarts as a commander? What kind of qualification got him elected? Even to the standards of the Ministry of Magic, he was sure that there would be no place for the boy there!
"… As soon as Shutara-san's suggested two weeks time is over, she will return to Seireitei." Umbridge heard the voice of Juushiro Ukitake talking to Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore. "And Kyouraku also told him, once he gets there, he should come to Division 1; his favorite warm green tea will be waiting for him there…"
"Ehem, ahem."
The sweetness caused McGonagall to close her eyes in frustration, but it was enough to make Ukitake, Dumbledore, and Snape look at her.
"Sorry, Mr. Ukitake," said Umbridge sweetly. "I'm still wondering about this, I didn't get a straight answer before."
"What's that?" ukitake asked kindly, while beside her Pomona Sprout and Minerva McGonagall exchanged a meaningful glance. But let. The commander of the 13th Division must know what to do to overcome Dolores Umbridge.
"About the qualifications Toushiro Hitsugaya possessed which led him to be selected as one of the commanders…"
"Ah, about that," Ukitake said, smiling. "Almost everyone asks about it. And I will give the same answer: many qualifications have been fulfilled, and that is enough to prove it."
"But he's so young!"
"That's why many make it an excuse." Ukitake is still smiling. "Too young! Enough experience? And I personally will answer it, no. This might be his weakness. But Commander Hitsugaya is trying to fix it, he doesn't have to experience everything, so he learns from the experience of others. Sometimes he asks me a lot of things, Kyouraku, Commander Kuchiki, and others."
"And how did he get elected?" snape, before Umbridge asked another question.
"The Commander's Test of Proficiency, sure," Ukitake said calmly. "He passed his exam smoothly. In that exam, he had to show us his bankai. A minimum of three commanders, including the supreme commander, must bear witness and give a confession. At that time the position of supreme commander was still held by Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto. He himself immediately admitted that Toushiro Hitsugaya has the strongest zanpakuto type hyousetsu ever in the history of Soul Society." Ukitake realized the teachers were listening to his explanation and was amazed by the information. "The Supreme Commander of the time had a lieutenant, with a hyousetsu type as well, his name was Choujiro Sasakibe." Ukitake smile. "The commander of Hitsugaya was centuries younger than him, but the ability that was instantly recognized by the Supreme Commander himself, was sufficient evidence for the qualifications he possessed."
"But his age…"
"It's not a problem to show who he is" Ukitake sidelines subtly. He looked at the shinigami among the Hogwarts students. "It was precisely an inspiration for other young shinigami to go to great lengths, break their boundaries, and protect Soul Society."
"Hatsyis!"
Toushiro Hitsugaya rubbed his nose and blinked his watery eyes from his sudden sneeze.
"Eh? Flu?" ask Ginny.
"Taicho never got the flu" Rangiku said. "Rain water until it snows won't make him sick! Maybe someone's talking about you, taicho!"
"Maybe," Toushiro grumbled. "I guess…"
"Let's get started!" fred exclaimed happily, cutting out Toushiro's sentence and pulling the box from under the table, dropping it onto Gryffidor's table. From the label, it reads…
"Pay Configuration-Transformation of Weasley Fireworks!" george is stylish.
"With the best explosion and the prettiest fireworks design ever!" connect Fred.
"Kids, you're not gonna blow that up here, are you?" said Mr. Weasley reminded.
"Dad, you won't break our hearts…"
"… or destroy our feelings, right?"
"Toushiro will blow the trigger…"
"… as a parting gift for…"
"… The best professor we've got!"
"I doubt he's the best professor" Ichigo said, but his eyes stared at the fireworks box with interest. Whatever the product, he knew, there was Toushiro's interference there. "But what is this…"
"Greater than yesterday" Lee said enthusiastically. "More variety of shapes and can last up to twelve hours!
"And, some other surprises!" exclaim Fred. He opened the box and there was only one firework, which looked like a thirty-centimeter rocket.
"One only?" ask Ikkaku in wonder.
"With a lot of magic in it!" said Fred. He flicked his wand, making the rocket's fireworks wick light up.
3…
2…
1…
With a loud whirring, along with the end of the axis, the rocket shot into the air. Almost all eyes immediately looked up at the rocket, which during the streak rained down on the Great Hall not with sparks, but…
"Snowflake?" shinji said, glaring at the 10th Division Commander, while around him the children stared at the sparkling snowflakes like diamonds in awe; one of the pieces floated lightly into Momo's hands, who was smiling happily. "It's your style…"
Toushiro sighed. He brandished his finger, aiming at the rocket that was about to reach the ceiling of the shakiran, "Hadou 4th: Byakurai."
The white lightning bolted rapidly, and hit the rocket and made it explode with a loud thump. Many children scream in shock or cheer. And, the chaos began.
As soon as the rocket exploded, it seemed to spew all its explosions into fireworks, not ordinary fireworks like a fountain, but various shapes. The wheels of fire rolled in various sizes, glittering unicorns dashed with joy, and mini hippogriffs that flew to and fro gracefully.
"Well, good magic" Ukitake commented. While rockets with tails of gold and silver colored light shot noisily across the ceiling and the wheels of fire exploded, the, it turned into a number of other small wheels and bats that shot to the teacher's desk. Ukitake chuckled as the bats almost hit him; the magic fireworks had no impact on the shinigami, as if they were penetrating him. The teachers seemed to have no objection, only Snape seemed somewhat distracted. But with just a slight swing of his wand, the twin fireworks didn't touch it, nor did the other teachers.
Dolores Umbridge was not so lucky. He failed to apply the diversion spell, making him an easy target for the fireworks. The bat flew around his head. Umbridge made a light swing with her magic wand, which missed far and blew a pitcher of pumpkin juice on Hufflepuff's desk, spilling the juice splashing everywhere and the children screaming in shock.
"Oho! It's great!" lee Jordan in the noise.
"It's overkill," said Toushiro, barely audible among the desing, explosions, screeches around him.
"Don't regret it, taicho! This is awesome!" exclaim Rangiku happy. "I want to buy this! Taicho, what currency are they using? A pound? Dollars?"
"Twenty-five Galleons for that, my Rang!" said Fred enthusiastically.
"But since you're Toushiro's lieutenant, there's only fifteen Galleons!" said George.
"Great! But... taicho, I don't know what Galleon is... Can I borrow from you? I promise I'll come home and I'll change…"
Toushiro looked at Rangiku with raised eyebrows.
"Taicho! Taicho! Taicho!"
Toushiro patted his forehead, while Momo who sat beside him chuckled. He with an unusually irritated expression threw his money bag in annoyance, "Cut off your paycheck, Matsumoto."
Whether he heard it or not, Rangiku clearly ignored him, cheerfully reaching into the bag of money and handing Fred a number of gold coins.
Harry laughed, knowing his laughter was drowning in the rumbling of the surrounding crowds and the explosive fireworks. It seemed as if Umbridge realized being still on the spot was making him suffer even more from the pyrotechnics, so he left the teacher's desk and moved out of the Great Hall. Unfortunately, that only made his situation worse. Peeves used Umbridge's distance from the other teachers with more severe suffering than the pyrotechnics. he beat her with a sock filled with chalk and showered her with cupcakes he took from dorm tables.
"Whoa.. it seems like that one ghost knows how to torment people." said Ikkaku, while Yumichika laughed while holding her stomach when she saw Peeves pour a moss green liquid somehow on top of Umbridge's hair that was the color of a mouse feather, greeted with cheers most of the children who responded happily.
"Oh! It seemed like almost everyone was happy," Momo said, chuckling.
"Trust me, he's a really lousy teacher" Ichigo said, grinning.
"Well, at least I wasn't fired that way" Lupin said, smiling.
"Don't joke! You're the best Black Science Defense teacher we've got!" said Ron. "Ooh! Peeves should add drop the venomous Tentacles…"
It seems, the event of 'parting' this one will enter the legend of Hogwarts, so said George cheerfully. Harry himself saw that none of the teachers seemed to bother to help Umbridge; even Dumbledore gave him a very unusual wink. Byakuya Kuchiki who according to Harry is the most disciplined, rigid, and cold shinigami that rivals Toushiro also does not seem to mind the crowd around him. The fireworks that shot out noisily and burst violently were completely ignored, still able to sip her warm tea with the same calmness as if in a solemn tea ceremony, with Toushiro who seemed to have decided to ignore the line of excitement of his lieutenant who enthusiastically bought some products of the joke shop of the twins. A large number of students ushered in the departure of Umbridge who ran across the field to the gate – Peeves still chased after him while throwing him with candles while scolding him – by cheering him, he said, no matter the half-hearted prohibition of the Heads of the Dormitory. Not only that, Ichigo roared loudly 'Don't see you again!' who even managed to penetrate the sound of the explosion of dragon firecrackers that flew to the school yard chasing Umbridge.
Closing the school year party, Dumbledore announced several announcements. Some are commonplace that the school will start again on September one, before moving on to the Dorm Cup winner. Gryffindor's children did not expect much, considering Dolores Umbridge made them almost lose points. All eyes stared at the four dormitory points recorders brought to the table of the teachers – rubies Gryffindor the fewest, compared to the Ravenclaw sapphire or Hufflepuff topas, respectively, and the emerald Slytherin led far among the others. Unexpectedly, the Headmaster added the numbers at the last moment.
"… i think the battle of Hogwarts that took place some time ago makes me have to appreciate some of the actions of Hogwarts students, which although unmistakably is a rather reckless but valiant attitude." Many chief disciples immediately looked up to hear this. "To Miss Luna Lovegood," all eyes were on the Ravenclaw girl, "I gave sixty points to Ravenclaw." The thunderous applause instantly echoed along with the explosion of fireworks. "And each sixty figures to Mr. Harry Potter, Mr. Ronald Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger, Mr. Neville Longbottom, and Miss Ginny Weasley, respectively, who had left the protection of the castle to advance into the battlefield…"
Applause and leg-banging nearly knocked down the ceiling of the shrews; gryffindor's points rose much earlier, making him instantly second place under Slytherin.
"Well, this is great!" praise Momo, clap with the others. Sirius Black patted Harry on the back proudly, letting out a laugh that resembled the barking of his dog.
Dumbledore made a light wave with his wand, making the sound of a muffled fireworks explosion so they could hear it more clearly.
"The battle that happened some time ago became a reminder to us that the Black Party is still out there, waiting to destroy us+++. And that battle, too, keeps us from forgetting the great help and support of our friends" all eyes are on the shinigami. Dumbledore gave a nod of reverence, "the shinigami of the Soul Society. They have protected us when the protection we hope to turn away from us. I don't think even gold will be able to pay for every swing of the weapon they use to protect us."
"He used very nice words for us" Shinji commented softly.
"… and especially to Mr. Ichigo Kurosaki, Mr. Toushiro Hitsugaya, Mr. Kisuke Urahara, and Miss Yoruichi Shihouin, who became emissaries of the Gotei 13 to guard Hogwarts…"
"It moved me," said Isshin, wiping away – tears that were hard to guess whether they were real or fake.
"He didn't even mention your name" Kon commented.
"… even though they came as mission messengers, Hogwarts will not forget that their names have been written in the historical records of Hogwarts.I'm sure we never gave numbers to teachers, then," Dumbledore smiled, "I bestow honor for the courage, sacrifice, and friendship shown by the two young shinigami, Mr. Ichigo Kurosaki and Mr. Toushiro Hitsugaya, a hundred figures for each of whom is a member of the Gryffindor dormitory…"
The Great Hall exploded in applause and cheers. Harry clapped loudly with the others, feeling an overflow of happiness that temporarily covered all his anxiety. He wanted to congratulate Ichigo and Toushiro but the orange hair sank between the sea of children and Toushiro with slanted glasses seemed out of breath hugged by Rangiku Matsumoto.
Dumbledore flicked his wand, and the banner of Gryffindor was immediately stretched out at the back of the teacher's desk and on the pillars of the Hall. Not only that, red and gold confetti rained down on them all, ending the school year this time. For a moment, all the previous feelings of terror, or the coming one, were forgotten. Too cruel, isn't it, letting children drown too deep in the fog of fear and threat?
As Harry and Ron and Hermione exit the Hall, they see shinigami gathering in the schoolyard, along with Order members, Principals, McGonagall, and Snape. Not only that, Ginny, Luna, and Neville were also there. Harry exchanged glances with Ron and Hermione, who nodded. They left their luggage on the steps under the Front Hall and rushed over to the shinigami.
"… say my thanks to Shunsui," Dumbledore's voice spoke to Ukitake. "And also please tell me to cut down on the sake."
"Oh, I'll tell you," Ukitake said kindly. "But I'm not sure he'll cut back, let alone stop drinking…"
"You guys want to go home?" harry asks Ichigo, who is persuading Miko to enter his cage. Renji grinned to see the eagle owl repeatedly pecking Ichigo's finger as a sign of rejection.
"Oh, yeah," said Ichigo, "Come on, Miko, why are you so fussy now?!"
Miko gently flapped her wings, as if protesting against Ichigo, and gave him one more pat, this time a little hard until his finger bled.
"Not so, Ichigo," said Rukia, smiling amusedly. He nudges Ichigo aside and bends towards Miko who is perched in one of Ichigo's suitcases. The Kuchiki girl gently stroked the owl's head, which pointed her yellowish-brown eyes at Rukia. Miko was happy and allowed him to stroke her head.
Ichigo looked at Miko with a vexed look, feeling betrayed.
"Don't put on a look**** so," Rukia reproached, making Renji laugh, "open the cage."
"Yes, yes," grumbled Ichigo. With Rukia, he managed to make Miko want to go into his cage without being bothered again with a peg of rejection. After locking the door of her cage, Rukia kindly heals Ichigo's injured hand with a healing kidou.
"It seems," said Hermione hesitantly, smiling nervously, "just get here…"
Both Ichigo and Toushiro looked at him, raising eyebrows.
"Well, but I can't say it's time to say goodbye," said Luna cheerfully, "See you later more appropriate."
"Yeah, but can we see you again?" ask Ron to doubt.
"Well, well," said Ukitake, standing behind Toushiro, putting both his hands on the shoulder of the 10th Division Commander; Harry never stopped appreciating the resemblance of the two commanders although some things clearly proved there was no blood relation between them. Perhaps, if Toushiro grows up later he will be as similar as Juushiro Ukitake, in hopes of diminishing the nature of his feet. "We never know what opportunities will arise in the future. There's always a possibility, even if it's as thin as paper."
"Weasley," said Toushiro, making all the Weasley family members who were there turn their heads together. Toushiro sighed. This is one of the difficulties of his habit of calling people by last name. If there is more than one person who has the same last name, it is really troublesome. "Ro."
Ron looked at Toushiro in surprise. He was wide-eyed when Toushiro stretched out his Firebolt.
"Bloody hell!" fred and George together.
"For you," said Toushiro kalem. Ichigo snorted amusedly at the sight of that.
"A-a-what?" ron looked at Toushiro as if he was crazy. "W-what do you mean this?"
"I can't play Quidditch anymore" said Toushiro shrugging. "And you know for yourself, I don't need a broom to fly, and taking it to Seireitei is useless. I think this broom would be more useful if I gave it to someone else."
"But, son," said Mrs Weasley, "this broom is yours!"
"Well, not anymore." Toushiro crammed Ron's hand into the Firebolt's grip. Ron seemed to pale so shocked.
"It's a-it's a standard international broom!" he said with a choked voice.
Toushiro nodded. "I knew. Well, wear that for next year's tournament. Don't lose or you can't do it through that broom."
Ron thanked her many times with a trembling voice. For him who almost always received second-hand goods from his brothers, second-hand goods this time outside of all his dreams, perhaps second-hand worth the best treasure he had ever received.
Toushiro gave a nod once. He saw Harry smiling happily, it was no mistake to see his red-haired friend was clearly very happy. Mr and Mrs Weasley seemed to be at a loss for words as well, just looking at her thankfully.
Just then Urahara activated his tool. A magical door with a sturdy frame appeared in front of them. After that, Ukitake pulled his zanpakuto, making a movement like piercing the air, only the tip of his katana seemed to be swallowed by invisible matter. The 13th Division commander made a twisting motion with the hilt of Sougyo no Kotowari, and a white light expanded from the tip of his zanpakuto, and a Japanese-style door appeared beside the artificial gate of Urahara's tool.
"Well, it's time to go home" Ukitake said. He smiled at the witches. "Well we meet again. And Commander Hitsugaya, we're waiting for you."
Toushiro nodded once. He watched his comrades one by one enter Senkaimon after saying goodbye or just nodding goodbye. Momo smiled at him, giving a short wave before rushing after Shinji. Rangiku, as he had expected hugging him tightly made him feel at least two gigai ribs in particular were fractured; kon complained enviously to him. With exaggerated waves, the lieutenant pulled his suitcase containing most of his Hogwarts needs with him. And then, Senkaimon headed for Soul Society it closed.
"You okay?" mcgonagall asked somewhat anxiously.
"It's okay," said Toushiro, somewhat gasping. He stared fiercely at Isshin who was smiling happily nearby, "But someone is obviously happy with the suffering…"
"Oh! Don't overdo it, Shiro-chan! Let's go home soon! I miss my two beautiful angels! My daughters! Your father's coming~"
Isshin leaps first into the gate, while Ichigo feels a twitch under his eyes, a sign of aggravation.
"I can hardly believe he's your father" Sirius said. "You don't look alike."
"Well, neither do I" Ichigo said, sounding somewhat desperate. He turned to Rukia, who did not return to Soul Society. "You're not coming home with your brother?"
Rukia. "The mission report in Karakura is left in your room. I'll be home as soon as I get it."
"No stay?" ask Ichigo, pull the suitcase.
"There's a meeting with Elder Kuchiki later tonight," Rukia said briefly, helping Ichigo secure Miko's cage. Rukia looked at the witches, smiling politely. "See you later." Beside him, Ichigo saluted, before together with Rukia entered the Senkaimon that Urahara prepared. Afterwards, Orihime gave a polite bow, and entered Senkaimon, with Uryuu behind him.
Toushiro stared at the witches, perhaps for the last time before another impetus came. His gaze fell on Neville, who was smiling trembling at him. Toushiro sighed.
"I haven't told you yet" she said softly, smiling, "thank you."
"I should have said so" Neville murmured.
"Take care of yourself" Toushiro looked at the witches, "and see you later."
With a final nod, Toushiro pulls his suitcase and steps into Dangai who takes him to the Human World. Urahara and Yoruichi said their farewells and followed the petite commander. Harry and the others stared at the gate as it glowed bright white, before it faded away slowly, as if swallowing the inter-dimensional gate.
An adventure has just ended. And there is a new story ready to be done in the future. Will the chance indeed make them meet back with those spirit protectors?
