Personally, I could ship it.
How about you?
(I think this is my... second crossover ship for this show??!!)

Koizumi Akako wraps herself in secrets – she practices her magic in dark, hidden places, where none but the most observant will ever set eyes on her.
Hakuba Saguru is among the most observant. He is one of the most observant people she has ever known.
She seems, at first glance, a normal high school girl – if a beautiful one. He notices with a glance the indent of her pentacle necklace, worn underneath her uniform, and the charms around her wrists. He can catch the faintest whiff of scented candles and tea leaves from her, and it is his first deduction that she is merely a trend-follower, into the idea of magic more for the mystery and allure than anything. Someone who can be safely ignored.
This theory is revised when he catches her in the school hallway one day after school. Her plum-purple hair rose upward – courtesy of some wind unnoticed by Hakuba – and her eyes close, as she murmurs words that he for some reason cannot hear in the empty corridor.
A moment later, there is a book in her hand – a large, bound tome, clearly more suited to a medieval library than a Japanese high school. Hakuba wonders where she managed to hide that on her person. There are not nearly enough places within her seifuku, he thinks clinically, and she isn’t carrying a bag.
She stares him down with unnervingly red eyes. He does not look away.
After a moment, she smiles to herself and walks the other way.
Hakuba remains in the hallway for a while longer, wondering.
He watches her closely from then on.

( His gaze is on her from across the classroom, warm brown eyes narrowed like he is attempting to solve a puzzle. )
