Elle: Hey all, just to let you know that this story is the prequel to Hold Me Tight and Don't Let Go. It's kind of like how Angels and Demons is to The Da Vinci Code, you can read one without the other but the other would make a lot more sense if you read the first well first.
After Aizen's betrayal the Gotei 13 fell into complete chaos. Three companies had lost their captains and teetered on the edge of ruin. Because of the lack of available men to fill the posts the third fifth and ninth divisions were almost disbanded. That was the bleak prospect until that incident.
Five teenagers appeared in the Soul Society from a school called Hogwarts in England. They were fighting an evil wizard named Voldemort and were killed in the process.
The wizarding world had kept their deaths a secret and in fact a man named Albus Dumbledore was behind it all. A young Soul Reaper, present Thirteenth Company Lieutenant Arisa Uchimani had been playing a double-agent role; pretending to be a student at Hogwarts as well as holding her post in the Gotei-13. She had become friends with the five teenagers at Hogwarts.
The plan was that these five teenagers would take post in the Gotei-13 and return to what was for three of them their final year at Hogwarts. The other two would return to supervise. But this was all planned out before Aizen's betrayal.
However the question of who would lead still loomed over the Gotei-13 and that must be settled before any alliances with outside societies were established.
After much debate Arisa (much to her displeasure) was chosen as Captain of the Ninth Division. Arisa did fit the part well; she was cool and calculating and kept a level head in the midst of battle. Her bankai was well developed and above all had a strong relationship with the current lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi.
It was fitting that Arisa took a Captain's seat when her father Hideaki Uchimani had already been chosen to replace Aizen in the fifth Division. Hideaki was much like Arisa except you couldn't tell they were related. They looked nothing alike. Arisa was tall, slim and blonde. Her hair framed her round face and her eyes were a dark blue. Hideaki was built and had short brown hair that fell into his light brown eyes.
Third Company was taken over by one of the Hogwarts students, Jake Emmerson. Jake was long and lanky, an avid volleyball player and lacrosse player. He had short messy black hair and piercing green eyes. He was like Ichigo Kurosaki in many ways, the main being that he progressed at an alarming rate. He became a captain three weeks after entering the Soul Society including bankai training. Before becoming captain Jake was placed as the yon seki (Fourth seat) of the eleventh company. It was during this short duration that Jake became very fond of Kenpachi Zaraki, the division's captain. Jake also had a very dry sense of humor, he was artsy and metaphorical. Like Arisa he was cool and calculating he also happened to be one of her best friends.
Upon entering the Division Jake changed the lineup. He kept Izuru Kira in his position but added his twin brother, Jack, into the San Seki (Third Seat) position. Jack was very much like Jake. Not only did they look identical (Except that Jack's eyes were brown) they acted very much the same too. The only major difference was that Jack played soccer as a opposed to volleyball and he did photography (Jake did more charcoal and mixed media artwork)
Arisa made two major changes to her company. She was good friends with Marcus Flint, one of the Hogwarts students and Ichigo Kurosaki, the substitute Soul Reaper. Arisa had made her decision carefully. She relied on Marcus's analytical ability more than Ichigo's combat strength and more for strategy than anything made Marcus her san seki and Ichigo her yon seki.
Both of the last two Hogwarts students were added to the fourth and sixth divisions both as the san seki. Marcus Flint's older sister by a year, Amy, became the fourth company's san seki, demoting the previous one down a seat.
Amy was a medical student currently in college to pursue a degree in medicine. She was fiercely intelligent and thought on her feet. Amy looked nothing like Marcus, who was built much like a tree. He was composed of mainly trunk with thick muscular arms and legs. Amy was built much like Arisa and was often taken for her sister than Marcus's. Marcus had dark hair and eyes, Amy was blonde and her eyes were blue.
Lastly Jennifer Bletchley became the san seki of the sixth company. Jen was very analytical and calculating, as well as short tempered. It was as though she embodied the best qualities of her captain, Byakuya Kuchiki and the worst of her lieutenant Renji Abarai. Jen's first love was softball, second volleyball and third Marcus.
With all the Hogwarts students in their Gotei-13 positions they returned to England to begin a new year at Hogwarts and shortly after were joined by several Soul Reapers to aid with the defeat of Lord Voldemort.
