Alfea's Mother
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if Bloom had the mothering and nesting instincts of a dragoness thanks to a run in with a lost little girl when she was younger? When she meets her roommates who all come from distant or broken families and homes, she claims them as her children and treats them as such. Much to everyone elses confusion and amusement. AU OOC Motherly!Bloom. Femslash and bashing most likely.)
It was a week into their freshman year at Alfea when someone noticed the strange interaction amongst the 'Winx Club' as they came to be called. It all started when a senior named Lucile from Melody was walking past their table in the lunch hall and heard something that sounded very…familiar and yet strange.
"Stella eat those vegetables. They're good for your hair and skin." The strange red haired earth girl said to the blond princess of the Sun.
"But Bloom-" Stella tried to whine a bit only to be cut off by a stern look.
"No buts Stella. Eat them they're good for you and there aren't that many." Bloom said sternly in a tone that Lucile knew all too well as she stopped and watched the five girls.
"Yes ma'am." Stella said pouting as she obediently ate the vegetables while Bloom reached over and knocked Musa's headphones off of her ears to land around her neck.
"No headphones at the table Musa, and turn that music down before you go deaf." Bloom said making the musical fairy pout but nod and put them away, eating her vegetables without complaint.
"Tecna put that away at the table. You know better." Bloom said not even looking at the pink haired technology fairy who was working on something on a phone.
"Sorry." Tecna said putting the phone in her pocket immediately.
"Flora you need the iron, eat the chicken." Bloom said giving her roommate a look and earning a small sigh but nod from the flower fairy who obediently began eating the chicken on her plate.
"Can I help you?" Bloom asked turning and looking up at Lucile who started slightly but shook her head quietly and walked off rapidly to her friends. Her mind was awhirl with thoughts and amused disbelief.
"What's up Lucile? You sure hesitated at the table with those Freshmen." Her roommate, Dorothy, said looking at her friend as she sat down.
"Have you guys noticed how those Freshmen act around each other?" Lucile asked looking at her friends who looked confused and shook their heads, aside from one.
"Not sure about the rest of the 'Winx' group as they're called but I know I saw that red head girl sitting with the pink haired one out in the Quad the other day with some books. She was telling the pink one that she shouldn't spend so much time on the computer." Another of their friends, Salom, said making Lucile snicker slightly.
"I can believe it. When I was walking by their table the red head was telling Princess Stella to eat her vegetables, and was chastising the pink and black haired ones for listening to music and messing with a cellphone at the table." Lucile said snickering and making the other seniors snicker.
"Sounds like something my mom would do." Dorothy said with a snort.
"Exactly my thoughts. She even used the mom tone on them." Lucile said making the others snicker harder.
"So what? The red head is mothering her dormmates? That ought to make this fun to watch then." The final member of their dorm room, Ruth, said watching something behind Lucile and Salom. Spinning around the seniors watched as a Sophmore walked over to the freshmen arrogantly.
"Hey Stella? How's it feel to be such a failure that you have to repeat the Freshman year?" The arrogant princess of Camela asked her fellow princess who flinched slightly.
"If you ever call Stella a failure again I will set you on fire and not lose a wink of sleep over it." Bloom said spinning and standing to face the arrogant brown haired girl who paused for a second in surprise.
"Not my fault she fails at everythi-eek!" The princess was cut off when she literally caught on fire as Stella flinched again at the words.
"Say anything like that to or about her again. See what else I do to you." Bloom hissed protectively, her eyes reptilian slits that only a few noticed, before she turned her back on the princess and walked over to pull Stella into a warm hug.
"Don't worry Stella. She's just jealous that you're better looking than her and have more friends than she does. You're not a failure sweetie." Bloom said cuddling the blond who relaxed into the hold, resting her head on Bloom's shoulder as a water fairy quickly doused the flaming princess.
"And that you're better liked than she is. She's one of the most disliked princesses according to a galaxy survey." Tecna quickly spoke up to sooth her friend too.
"Would anyone mind if I blast her?" Musa asked glaring at the terrified princess who was staring at Bloom wide eyed and horrified.
"Not now Musa. Group hug, Stella needs it." Flora said pulling Musa and Tecna over to the blond and initiating a hug/cuddle pile as everyone stared.
"Thanks girls." Stella said smiling weakly as her friends released her aside from Bloom, who placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Anytime sweetheart. No one talks about one of my girls like that." Bloom said smiling softly at Stella.
"Musa don't even think of blasting her. We don't need you in trouble as well." Bloom said not even glancing at the music fairy who had been summoning a basic blast to her hands, making said fairy pout as she dispersed the magic.
"Ms. Bloom! What were you thinking when you set her on fire!?" Griselda demanded as she stalked over to Bloom who didn't even bat an eye as she stared Griselda straight into the eye.
"I was thinking that the teachers would stop her from verbally abusing another student and since they obviously weren't going to step in then I should. I won't let anyone treat one of my girls like that!" Bloom growled out sounding every bit like a mother dragon protecting her young while Griselda flinched back slightly, causing Bloom's face to soften minutely.
"She's like a mother." Dorothy noted quietly as she watched Bloom tell Griselda that she wasn't mad at the teachers, just disappointed…which seemed to make all the teachers flinch or wilt a bit.
"Yeah and did you see the way her eyes narrowed and how her voice turned into a growl? She's like a mother dragon." Ruth said more amused than anything as she watched Griselda reluctantly give Bloom two weeks worth of detention before handing out two weeks of detention to Princess Cameron with much less reluctance.
"So she's the Dragon Mother of the Winx?" Salom asked watching as Bloom began fretting over her dorm mates again, glancing at Griselda and fretting over her skipping lunch as well much to everyones disbelief and Griselda's embarrassment.
"No. Check it. She's fretting over the other students and even Ms. G as well, just not as much as she is her dorm mates." Lucile said nodding to where Bloom was now fretting over a shy looking girl that was sitting next to Flora, a Junior if Lucile recalled correctly.
"So what's that mean Lucile?" Dorothy asked looking at the Melody native who was watching the group of Freshmen for another minute or two, focusing on Bloom mother henning the others.
They didn't know just how far reaching the title Lucile said next would go within the week.
"She's more like the Mother Dragon of Alfea."
