I give thanks to Innortal for some of the information here...
And, I think I just gave some continuity here...
Start here.

Negi sighed as he walked to class on the first day, again. At least everything had gone normally so far. He just wished that Ranma or Lina were here, but he hadn't sensed hide nor hair of their magical power. Ranma was a great older brother, and took pressure off of his shoulders from all the women. And he had never met a master of black magic like Lina before. He didn't think he was a match for the likes of Jack Rakkan, Eva or his father yet, but he was relatively sure he could take that Oni king if it showed up again.
"Boya, we have a problem here." Eva's voice spoke up in his head. Blinking, he looked over the classroom. Nothing looked out of place, nope, there wasn't... Wait, who was... Negi paled and looked at the roll call sheet. Nope there was no mistake. Blond hair, one eye red, one eye green, smiling happily, a floating bunny above her right shoulder...
Sitting in his class, next to Zazie, was Vivio Takamachi.
Both Eva and Negi remembered what happened when the girl got hurt, even if it was slightly, in the Hogwarts loop that had ended. Both of them privately blamed Bender for that loop.

Negi stared at the sheer damage of that attack. "What?"
Lina, standing next to him, looked on, her face still. "Draco and his two friends weren't very careful with their magic practice." She said softly, though Negi could hear the steel in her voice. "Seems that Nanoha's daughter got brought into this loop with her and Fate..."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, and one of those three hit the little girl upside the head. She'll be alright but..."
"STARLIGHT BREAKER!"
Negi trembled, okay, THAT had been quite a bit of overkill... Before anyone could say anything to it, the older looping Ranma had grabbed Raising Heart and pulled Nanoha away, whispering something to her, getting her to calm down and rush off towards the school nurse. "What the?" Negi stepped back as all the other anchors started to glow brightly. "What's wrong?"
Lina turned to Negi. "You should know, before these loops started, most of us only had ourselves and close personal friends to rely on, most of us grew up with a parent missing, dead, or alone in some way, shape or form, so, when the loops started, most of us anchors, until our friends started looping were rather lonely. So, that caused a rule to come up between us anchors..."
"That is?"
"Unless the person in question is a jerk, an ass, or being a moron... You don't mess with a member of our family." She said as her turn came up. "Oh boys... Ready to taste my...
DIL BRAND!"
"AIIIEEEE!!!!"
(---)
Negi shuddered. Nope, he did NOT want Mahora to become ground zero for a Starlight Breaker. It didn't matter if Nanoha was in this loop or not. She would find out and then whatever hurt Vivio was going to be blown up, then he would be next.
Nope, he had to make sure that she wasn't hurt, no matter what.
Looking at her face, he suddenly got VERY worried for some reason.
