Winx Club sad AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if in between seasons 2 and 3 Griselda went to Earth during the summer to talk with Bloom about something and ended up adopting the red head? AU OOC some bashing some femslash maybe some slash.)
Griselda sighed slightly as she walked around the earth town, Gardenia, she had been sent to by Ms. Faragonda. She had been sent to talk with Ms. Bloom about the fact that she was a natural at dark magic and did have a darker side, as was proved by 'Dark Bloom' as the rest of the Winx girls referred to the dark side as. Normally having dark magic would label the girl as a witch instantly but she was also a fairy, and Faragonda had gotten approval from Griffin and her two teachers for Bloom to take some classes at CT to learn her dark powers while still learning her fairy powers at Alfea.
Now she was here wandering around the town hoping to find some sign of her student since the other teachers had been too busy to come and as Deputy Headmistress the job fell to her. Griselda sighed again as she looked around for a flash of her student's signature fire red hair only to see nothing but the normal black, brown, and blond tones. There was a flash of magenta but it vanished too quickly for Griselda to see who had that strange shade of color.
"Excuse me miss." Griselda said sighing and approaching the closest person to her, hoping the girl would know Bloom. They looked about the same age after all.
"What do you want?" The black haired teenager sneered as she turned around, only to come face to face with Griseldas stern face which caused her to 'eep' slightly.
"I'm looking for my student but I'm afraid that I got lost somewhere since I don't visit Gardenia often." Griselda said giving the girl her standard stern look. Something about this girl reminded her of that Diaspro girl that Bloom had fought against twice by now. She gave off a spoiled 'I'm better than you and I know it' princess vibe that just rubbed Griselda the wrong way.
"W-Well who are you looking for?" The girl asked stuttering slightly under Griseldas stare.
"A girl around your age by the name of Bloom Peters." Griselda said frowning harder when the girl in front of her suddenly started to sneer.
"Oh that freak. I feel bad for you, having to teach at a reform school for freaks like her. I don't know why she keeps trying to insist it isn't a reform school." The girl sneered cruelly causing Griselda to scowl slightly at the girl. Okay now the girl acted like a spoiled 'I'm better than you and I know it' witch princess.
"I'm afraid Miss…"Griselda left the sentence trailing as she waited for the girl to fill in the blank.
"Mitzi." The girl, Mitzi, supplied almost instantly, causing Griselda to nod slightly although she raised an eyebrow at the unusual name even in Magix.
"I'm afraid Miss Mitzi that Ms. Bloom is quite right. The school I teach at, Alfea, is not a reform and is instead a highly respected but usually secret all girls boarding school where many princesses from various countries of various sizes attend. Ms. Bloom's birth parents were quite good friends of Headmistress Faragonda and she has had her name down for our school since she was born." Griselda said coldly to the girl who was shocked, and the best part is that she wasn't lying. Alfea is a highly respected all-girls school that teaches princesses of various sized planets, it is a secret on Earth, Bloom's parents were friends with Ms. Faragonda, and Bloom's name had been down for Alfea since she was born…they just weren't able to find her until Stella stumbled across her by chance.
"WHAT?!" Mitzi screeched in shock and anger, that 'freak' was at such a high class school while she wasn't?
"Why are you here then? To expel her?" Mitzi asked smirking darkly suddenly when she remembered that the woman in front of her, who was now massaging her ears lightly, was here to talk to Bloom.
"Not at all. In fact she has some of the best scores the school has ever seen; she even outclasses some of her friends and dorm mates who come from royal families. I'm here because she has shown remarkable talent in several areas that Alfea, sadly, is not readily available to teach her in. I've come to talk to her about taking some classes at the rival, but just as good, school Cloud Tower to cultivate her talents." Griselda said causing Mitzi to seethe slightly again, causing Griselda to mentally smirk. She could tell from the way the girls aura was ranting and raving that the black haired girl did not like her student and was looking for some new ammo to torment her with, she was more than happy to help her student put one of her tormentors in their place at the moment. Especially since this was also not a lie. Bloom did show remarkable talent in the darker aspects of magic and Alfea wasn't suitable to teach her how to use those talents…but Cloud Tower was. A rather wicked idea to really help her student out crossed Griseldas mind, causing her to actually smirk.
"I'll also need to talk to her about taking a few classes at the just as good and all male boarding school Red Fountain. It's well known for teaching princes, bodyguards, generals, and other such high-ranking positions and Ms. Bloom has shown an aptitude for some forms of combat…If nothing else I'm sure Prince Sky would be glad to teach his girlfriend how to fight." Griselda said seemingly off-hand and watching in amusement as Mitzi gaped for a minute before whispering mutinously under her breath about how the 'freak' was getting so many privileges that 'only she deserved'.
"No good fire obsessed freak." Mitzi muttered a little too loud causing a nearby boy to stop and look at her coldly.
"I heard that Mitzi and remember Blooms my friend. I hear you talk bad about her again and I'll do worse than give you a black eye." The guy said scowling at Mitzi who paled slightly but turned to glare back at him.
"You're a boy remember Josh? Boys don't hit girls." Mitzi taunted smugly causing the guy to smirk.
"Straight guys don't hit girls but I'm gay remember? I have no qualms re-breaking your nose which, you're lucky, is all Bloom did to you on accident when you tried to scare her from behind." The, apparently Josh, said much to Griseldas amusement. Bloom broke someone's nose on accident? That was new.
"Excuse me young man but since you seem to know her perhaps you can point me to where I can find my student." Griselda said clearing her throat when Mitzi opened her mouth to say something else.
"Who?" Josh asked confused and looking at Griselda weirdly.
"Ms. Bloom. I need to speak with her regarding her schooling." Griselda explained briefly, the boys' aura letting her know that he was a true friend to her student.
"You must be one of the teachers she talks about so highly. Hmm…based on her descriptions and drawings…you must be Ms. Griselda the Deputy Headmistress. Nice to meet you. I'm Josh, one of Bloomy's friends." Josh said offering his hand for a handshake after looking Griselda over for a minute. Griselda took his hand and shook it on reflex, her mind reeling slightly. Bloom talked about her and the other teachers even drew pictures of them, while she was here on Earth?
"Yes I am Deputy Headmistress Griselda and it is nice to meet you as well. Do you mind showing me where I can find my student?" Griselda asked adjusting her glasses after she released the boys hand, causing him to flex his hand slightly with a grimace.
"Man talk about an iron grip. Yeah sure ma'am. She usually helps her mom out at work during the summer or her free time. The shop's right over there." Josh said pointing at a shop behind Griselda and a few stores down, causing Griselda to turn and look.
"A flower shop? That certainly explains why she made friends with Ms. Flora so fast. Thank you young man." Griselda said her lips twitching ever so slightly in amusement. It would also explain why Bloom was so good at helping Flora take care of her plants…and why she had heard the voice of nature so easily in Palladiums class last year.
"No problem ma'am. Later…and remember what I said Mitzi. I'm gay so I have no problems re-breaking your nose for insulting my friend." Josh said smiling at Griselda before glaring at Mitzi as he turned to continue along his way.
"Hello. How can I help you?" A kind sounding woman with short brown hair asked as Griselda walked into the flower shop, looking around for any sign of her student.
"Hello ma'am. I'm looking for Bloom Peters." Griselda said her eyes narrowing in on the woman whose aura flared angrily at her students name and began ranting.
"I'm Bloom's mom, Vanessa Peters. Is there something wrong?" Vanessa asked sounding worried enough but her aura didn't stop ranting.
"No ma'am nothing wrong. I just need to speak with Ms. Bloom about her magical education as it seems she has several talents that require her to take some classes at a rival school in order to cultivate them properly." Griselda said causing Vanessa to frown slightly while her aura ranted even angrier than before.
"Blooms not here today. She wasn't feeling well this morning so I let her sleep. She's probably still at home. I can give you directions if you like?" Vanessa offered causing Griselda to nod slightly and memorize the directions Vanessa told her, her eyes narrowing when the woman's aura began to scream.
"Thank you. I believe I will go check on her. I know quite a few healing spells that might make her feel better." Griselda said nodding to the woman in thanks before turning around and walking out the door with her eyes glinting in determination and anger.
She would find her student and quickly too because if the screaming aura from the 'mom' was anything to go by then she needed to get her student out of there immediately, especially if the 'dad' had an aura as bad as Vanessa's. Griselda looked up at the sky for a moment before continuing on her path to the red heads house. One thought running through her mind.
'Please be okay Bloom.'
