WARNINGS: Not really any fight scenes(becuase authuress can't write them well), Fox Witch/Fem!Harry blood, insanity- sort of- and it's in the anime verse.
Important background info: No Harry Potter verse magic, barely any characters from Harry Potter present, Chrona does not exsist as Fem!Harry(Tempest) takes her place. Potter's are alive, no Voldie, an, as this is in the anime, no Eibon. Diverges from canon a bit, but is on spot for the major parts.
Disclaimor on profile.
Please review, and you can submit requests for this, as it'll be a series of Soul Eater/Harry Potter crossovers, but Harry remains Female and I- for some odd reason- can't seem to write slash even though I read it.
She blinked, shifting uncomfortably as she looked at the people before her. If you told her a few days ago that she'd be standing on a basket ball court with Shibushen students, she'd probably have killed you on the spot just for the absurdity of it- but here she was…
Tempest Potter didn't really know much about her birth family. All Medusa had told her, when she was old enough to understand, was that her weapon and meister parents had abandoned her upon learning of her witch abilities. Medusa had never been a good parent to her either, considering placing the black blood in her body and basically training her to kill without remorse and use her witch powers- which surprisingly weren't driving her insane- for evil.
Tempest would admit she was exceedingly happy her first friend, Maka Albarn of whom had dragged brought her here, had purified her black blood, otherwise she'd still be thirty feet below a wall of pure insanity. Shinigami-sama, upon her helping pull Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz and Patti from the rubble and healing them the best she could with her Fox Witch abilities, aloud her to join Shibushen, on Maka's team.
Maka and the other girls- who for some strange reason took an instant liking to her- had proceeded to spend loads of money buying her an apartment and a new wardrobe. Today consisted f a pair of camo cargo's a quarter length olive green hoodie top that showed her stomach. Her black hair was a pony tail that ended at her shoulders. Her emerald eyes were looking around in slight interest, and her bangs nearly his the lightning bolt scar on her forehead.
She forced a smile, despite feeling out of place, even as the group welcomed her into the fold whole heartedly. "So, are we gonna play, or what?" She questioned.
Teams were pretty cut throat. Tsubaki, Kidd, Tempest and Patti versus Liz, Soul and Black Star.
Black Star nodded with a pumped fist, though disappointed he couldn't get Maka to play. She'd already brained him twice with her book. "Yosh!" He cheered, taking off his cap and shoving it on the black haired witch's head. "You can be the captain for your team, Tempest!" He announced, "And I'll be captain for us!"
"E-Eh? But…" She sighed and shook her head, shrugging and deciding to go with it.
"You know, we should make this interesting…" Soul said, hand on his chin. "Loosing captain should have to do something for the winning captain."
Kid chuckled "Much agreed, how about the loser has to do one thing the winner says."
Tempest took one look at Black Star's calculating face and took the hat off, shoving it at Kidd. "You know, you can be captain! I don't know enough about basket ball to be one!"
"It's not symmetrical!" Kidd wailed, "I don't want to wear it-"
"Then don't! But your still captain!" She shouted, chunking the hat back at Black Star, re din the face from yelling and embarrassment.
"She's certainly starting to relax." Spirit muttered, leaning down to rest his arms on the bench beside Stein and Marie.
"So it seems. Not enough to let down her Soul Guard, however. I don't think she completely trusts anyone but Soul and Maka." Marie said worriedly, "Oh, this just makes me want to pummel that Medusa! Doing that to a child, hn!" She crossed her arms with a scowl.
Stein and Spirit chuckled at her expression, giving curt nods of agreement.
"Haha! Kidd lost, Kidd lost!" Patti crowd.
"That means you did too, Patti." Liz said with a sigh, rolling her eyes.
"What are you going to make me do, Black Star?" Kidd questioned, eyeing the blunette warily.
Black Star let his eyes flicker to Maka, Kid, then Soul. He shared a look with Tsubaki and Liz before nodding to himself. "You have to take Maka out on a date." He said seriously, "Dinner, movie the whole shebang." He grinned, "She can't turn you down." He held back a satisfied grin when Soul's fingers twitched and Kidd looked slightly scared but slumped and walked- more like dragged himself- over to the blonde bookworm.
Soul left shortly after Kidd explained what was going on to the scythe meister and she agreed for tomorrow.
Tempest tilted her head, "Ano…why did you do that? Doesn't Maka-chan like Soul-kun? Not Kidd-san?" She questioned. Her expression was confused, but cute enough it made Kidd and Black Star- Maka was off dealing with her upset father- flush slightly.
Tsubaki giggled, "That's true, but Soul won't admit it, so we all thought we'd make him jealous. If we do that, he might finally admit it."
Tempest tapped her chin and shook her head. "I don't think that'll work, but I don't know much about the relationships. Closest I've been to a man is Free, and that was in training." She shrugged.
"While he was hot and sweaty-" Black Blood- well, she called her B for short- said, popping out of her shoulder. Her fist slammed upwards, eyes closing in annoyance.
"Keep your trap shut, Blood. I'm still pissed at you."
The little demon rubbed her chin, "Mou, so rude. I'm not coming out till you learn some manners."
"Go to hell." She answered, scowling at the ground as she folded her arms. The little bitch had flipped Maka's skirt that morning, and it'd annoyed the hell out of Tempest. She didn't like perverts, and she didn't want one attached to her. She paused, "Do…any of you know a good coffee place?" She asked uncertainly. This was the first time she'd been alone with them since she'd pulled them free of debris. She was still nervous. What is someone- not necessarily them, because they would have done something by now- attacked her for being a witch?
Black Star blinked, "Yea, know a good one not far from here. Why?"
"I don't get it very often, but I'm a bit of a coffee-holic." She said shyly.
Liz shrugged, "Well, have fun with that." She said, dragging Kidd, Patti and Tsubaki off, muttering about heading to the spa.
Tempest shifted uncomfortably on her feet, wishing she was back in her old room in the dark with some candles and alone and safe. Black Star studied her for a moment before sighing with a small smile, patting her one the head even though she was only five inches shorter than the seventeen year old. "Come on, I bet you'll love it." He said, leading her towards a street.
Marie let her eyes follow the pair in interest. She grinned to herself, that was going ot be interesting, perhaps she could aid…
Stein and Spirit backed away slowly at her mad cackle.
"Tell me who you are?" The black haired eight year old looked up at the woman, unnerved by her snake like features but not showing any of it.
"I'm Tempest Potter, Demon Fox Witch. I'm the down fall of the Shinigami."
"Good." The Snake Witch purred, petting black locks. "Now, why don't you go collect some souls?"
A terrifying smile filled the eight year olds face. "Of course…mother." The grin remained in place as she went out towards the town, planning to get as many souls as she could before sunrise. Blood would be spilt. Her grin widened.
Green eyes opened, staring up at the ceiling above her with a far away look. She'd slaughtered that entire town that night…even a few kids, four of them…
Tempest turned over and buried her face in her pillows. She had so much to make up for, so much she couldn't make up for. Maybe she wasn't supposed to. Witches were bad right? They were all mad by cause of magic, right? So then, why did Shinigami-sama not kill her and be done with it? There had to be some weapon out there who needed a witches soul, after all.
Blood materialized and draped himself over his host as she cried into her bedding, remembering the faces of the people she killed. Blood, despite not showing it sometimes, cared for her partner. She hated seeing the witch like this. She promised herself and her partner silently that the next time they met Medusa, they'd give her a piece of their mind.
Soul paused, "Hey…where's Tempest?" He wondered out loud. They were all, save the scythe's partner and Kidd, supposed to meet at the same café Black Star had shown the witch the day before. It was noon, so she should have been here by now.
Tsubaki frowned as well, "I don't know…Was she ok last night, Black Star?"
"Eh? Fine, I guess. Hard to tell when she barely talks." He answered.
Tsubaki stood up, biting her bottom lip, "I'm going to check her apartment, maybe she forgot." She said. The others shared a look and shrugged, following the ninja out of the café and down the street.
When they arrived and no one answered the door, Liz materialized a key from now where, "Don't ask, it's none of your concern." She said smoothly, unlocking the door without any further ado. "Tempest? Tempest are you home-aw…how cute!" She cooed.
Tempest was curled up on her couch, wearing a dark blue sundress with no sleeves. Her hair was played around her as her head rested on her arm, book dangling from her fingertips, teetering on her leg as it debated whether to fall off or not.
Tsubaki chuckled under her breathe, "Adorable…"
Soul rolled his eyes, strolling forwards and bending down in front of her, gently shaking her shoulder, "Tempest…? Tempest, it's time to get up."
The black haired girl jerked when she saw his face so close, gold energy knocking him onto his back in her shock. "Sorry!" She managed, looking incredibly sheepish, "I didn't mean to…" She had to remind herself she wasn't with Medusa, that she wasn't about to be punished for loosing control or being late.
Soul blinked, waving it off as he sat up. "It's fine." He managed, mind reeling a bit in shock. That was the first time he'd seen her use her magic. Every time they'd fought, she'd only used her meister abilities, and he hadn't been present when she healed the others. He squinted at her, noting the bags under her eyes. "Didn't sleep well?"
She flushed, "N-No…" She blinked, rubbing at her eyes for a minute before standing up and stretching. "What are you guys doing here anyway?" She asked quietly, head tilting.
Black Star flushed lightly, almost unnoticeably. He couldn't help it! She was so adorable, and on top of that, his seventeen year old body decided it had to react to everything the sixteen year old girl did. It was incredibly annoying, but he couldn't seem to care. Not like anyone would notice, he had plenty of self control down south. "The café, remember?"
She looked at the time and squeaked, "Sorry! I couldn't sleep, so I decided to read and I must have dozed off." She said.
Liz waved a hand, "That's fine! Now come on, let's get back to the café, I want a cappuccino."
Tempest nodded, slipping on a pair of ankle high boots and trailing behind the group, not bothering to lock the door. The complex she lived in was full of meisters and weapons, no one would be stupid enough to break into an apartment, not when a meister could easily beat them into submission.
Black Star frowned, falling behind, "You alright?"
She looked up at him and shrugged. "As alright as one can be, fearing someone with a grudge is going to attack me." She answered, eyes returning to watching where she was going.
He snorted, "No ones going to mess with you. Shinigami-sama made an announcement at Shibushen that you were an ally, besides," He grinned, "We're the best teams he's got aside from the Death Scythes, after seeing you with us, I don't think anyone will trying anything."
She shrugged again, falling silent. Her mind flew back to her thoughts last night- why was she here?
"Hey, Tempest, is Shinigami-sama enrolling you in Shibushen?" Liz questioned once they'd reached the café, grabbing a circular booth large enough for all of them.
"Hai, I'll be starting tomorrow. He waited the week for, as he said, me to settle." She answered quietly.
"Oi! Fred quiet doing that! That's my hair!"
Tempest froze in her seat, eyes jerking up to the counter to rest on the weapon and meister at the register. Two tall lanky red heads with blue eyes and plenty of freckles. She whipped her head back around and clutched her ceramic cup tightly. What the hell were they doing here? Not good. Not good at all!
Fred Weasley stiffened, feeling a familiar soul wave length come across his senses. He glanced around, eyes landing on a group of teenagers- more specifically, the black haired teen sitting on the outside of one side of the round booth. "George, is that…?"
"Looks like. What's she doing here?" He whispered.
"Let's find out. If she's still working for Medusa…" Fred slowly walked towards the table, watching the teen get more and more tense with each of the Meister's foot steps.
"Tempest? Hey what's wrong?" He heard a black haired teen, a weapon by her soul, ask. His target didn't respond, knuckles going white over her mug.
"Tempest Potter. Exactly what are you doing in Death City?" He drawled, blue eyes staring at her curiously, body ready in case she attacked.
She slowly turned to face him, caution scrawled all over her face. "Getting away." She answered meekly. "What are you ding here? You two were stationed in Britain…"
"Giving a report to Shinigami-sama before we head back in an hour, George's a Death Scythe now." He answered. He leaned down, face close to hers. "You still working for Medusa? Because if you are, as much as I hate to say it…"
She pushed herself back a bit, leaning backwards into the shoulder of the bluenette behind her that was watching with a guarded expression. "Iie. I'm not, I got out."
He pulled back, sensing no lie. The girl never had been great at that, lying an all. "Good! So, how ya been?"
"Who the hell are you?" A white haired male questioned, glaring at him with red eyes.
"Fred Weasley. This is my partner and Death Scythe, George Weasley, my twin brother." He said nonchalantly. "We had quiet a few run ins with this little menace. Caught her once, got to know her a bit before that bitch broke her out and took her back over." He said.
"Medusa?" One of the blondes questioned. "Our friend Maka purified the black blood." She said uncertainly, watching the two red heads.
"Ah, well that's good!" He said cheerfully, "Keep her safe, will ya?" Mussing up her hair with a smile, "We only knew each other for a few weeks, but she's a cute little thing." With that he turned, "Come on, Forge, we better get going, Mum will kill us if we aren't home in time for Sunday Dinner."
Tempest watched the two leave, body relaxing when they were out of sight. She absently rubbed her hip, where a scar resided from a nasty cut they'd managed to give her before she'd been given the black blood at age eleven. "Bad history with them?" She looked up at Soul, who'd spoken.
"…Not really, just a strange one. We went from trying to murder each other to friends to me trying to kill them in under three weeks." She said, looking down at her coffee, not feeling up to being around people all of a sudden. She didn't like where the conversation was-
"Ne, Tempest…what did you used to do for Medusa?" Patti asked curiously. All eyes fell on the black haired witch as she stiffened.
Tempest stood brambly from her seat, ignoring her coffee as it spilt on the table and floor. "I don't think any of you want to know." She said lowly, eyes hidden by her bangs. "And you certainly don't have the right to ask." She turned and left, soul sending out waves of anger and pain.
Patti shrunk on herself, "I just thought…" She'd just wanted to help. Tempest always seemed so withdrawn, so maybe if she talked about it all, she'd feel better… Her sister put a hand on her head in comfort and nodded, understanding.
"You what?" Maka shouted, fists balled at her sides. "Are you- are you stupid? Think about what you asked! Medusa's a horrible, foul being and you asked what she did for the bitch?" She nearly shrieked.
Several pairs of eyes stared at the angry blonde, "You know, don't you Maka?" Tsubaki said quietly. Though it was posed as a question, it wasn't.
"Only a little…but what I saw was enough." She answered, "I'm gonna go look for her, she didn't answer her apartment phone when I called." She said.
Soul nodded, "I'll help."
"I will too, I don't trust those two red heads from earlier." Black Star added.
The entire group soon nodded, heading off in different directions to find the witch that had, in a few days, become part of their little weird and odd family.
"T-Tempest! Wait!" Maka cried, managing to catch the sleeve of the trench coat the Fox Witch had on as the temperature steadily dropped as night fall came. "Where are you going?" She panted out.
Green eyes looked down at her bent over form. "I'm leaving." She said simply.
"Why?" Darker green eyes were flashing concern, "Not back to Medusa?"
"No, not back to her." She said, "Maka…I've done things. Horrible things- I shouldn't be here, I don't belong in Death City. I'm a witch, my soul should already have been taken and used to form a Death Scythe." She looked away, "I don't fit here, not around all of you, who haven't seen or done the things I have, people who can't understand, people who are so much more innocent than me."
"But, Tempest…we like having you here, everyone does. Your not like other witches, your good. Your sweet and funny and your kind and you wouldn't hurt anybody without a good reason." Maka said firmly. "So what if you've done some bad things? Shinigami-sama once said he'd done horrible things too, but he still works with us to help protect people."
Tempest let herself smile at the blonde, "Perhaps, but I am no god."
"Come back. You'll make me cry, and Tsubaki too. Patti's already upset she hurt you, she didn't want to- she wanted to help." Maka said quietly, "Everyone's out looking for you- we want you to stay."
Tempest bit her bottom lip. "Alright…" She said, "Alright." She paused though, meeting Maka's eyes, "But I have to warn you, even though I've already told Shinigami-sama. Medusa wants Stein. If she can find a way, she'll get him, too."
Fingers tugged at her dress a little consciously. Dressed in a Japanese kimono of black and gold, stopping near her knees with short sleeves, a pair of black boots with white laces to her mid-shin. Tsubaki had claimed it made her look cute while still being something she could fight in. But having everyone stare at her was a little unnerving.
"Class, I'm sure you recognize Miss Potter from Shinigami-sama's announcement about her joining Shibushen and supplying us with valuable Intel." Stein announced, "She's been assigned to Squad One. Please, treat her as you would any other student, as that's what she is now."
Stein moved on to explain about today's lesson, resonating with your teams. He took them out back into the small forest behind the school and set them to work, keeping his eye glued to Squad One(The Soul Eater gang plus Tempest.)
"I think it'd be a good idea to feel Tempest when she resonates before we try it." Kidd announced, "Only Maka and Soul have, she's the only one that hasn't resonated around all of us."
"I can do that." She told them. "Blood." Her palm split open on it's own accord, black blood spilling from the wound until it solidified, becoming her weapon(exactly like Chrona's, duh) and her palm healed. "Tamashi no Kyomei." She muttered.
Her soul enlarged, encasing her body. It was gold colored, a set of ears and a bushy tail on it's form as little swirls of black moved around her.
Maka hummed, "Well, it looks ten times brighter than when we fought." She said.
"Thanks to you, blondie!" Blood announced where they could all hear. "You purified me, which made Tempest's wave length stronger and cleaner. I think it still washing out of her head, but once that happens she'll reflect her Witch Soul more clearly."
Tempest blinked, unsure what her weapon meant, "Eh?"
"Baka." Blood insulted, "You're the Fox Witch, foxes are fun loving, mischievous and get in to trouble all the time." She explained, "Therefore, once your mind gets back on track completely and your open up some, you'll be like any other meister here- as upbeat as the rest of them."
She blinked but merely shrugged. What happened, happened. And honestly, she'd rather just open up to the group and get it over with. They accepted her, so she could trust them. She ended her resonance, keeping Blood out for now, leaning the female weapon against her shoulder.
"Well, let's give it a shot!" Black Star shouted, pumping his fist in excitement.
"Tamashi no Kyomei." Four sets of mouths said at once. Three souls connected, enlarging to cover three meisters in blue energy.
Black Star opened his eyes, meeting bright green filled with hesitance. "Come on, Tempest, we can't complete the circle without ya."
She smiled a small one, tentatively reach her soul out before eagerly adding it to the swirling energy when the other three smiled welcomingly at her. The energy tinged lightly with gold, barely visible. They shared proud looks for getting it on the first try.
Stein shifted his glasses, exhaling a puff of smoke, "How interesting…" She grinned to himself, proud of his students, before turning to check on the other squads.
"Tempest-chan," Shinigami started, "Do you know anything about Arachne the Spider Witch, anything more recent than Medusa?"
Tempest was still keeping herself away from the blonde haired woman turned child. She had Black Star on her right and Maka on her left, which made her feel much safer, didn't keep her from feeling as if the woman would find a way to tear her apart for betraying her. "Only that she has a machine that makes you loose your inhibitions."
"Oh? And how did you learn this?"
She flushed, looking away. "On your side or not, I'm still a witch and have attend the council meetings." She said. "Eureka the Frog Witch mentioned it."
"I see. Well, go on, and rest. And remember to take the Insanity reducers in the morning before you head out." He ordered, watching the team leave.
Spirit glared down at the tiny witch, annoyed she was possessing a child's body, preventing him from flaying her. "Listen and listen good, Medusa. Keep your magic to yourself. Don't you dare try anything with Tempest." He warned, back of his mind wondering if Tempest had been right and Stein's recent disappearance had something to do with Medusa.
Medusa's lip curled, "Hn. I don't want anything to do with such a failure, I've told you this once before. Good luck killing my sister, I hope you succeed- she's an annoyance." With that, Medusa was allowed to walk out of Death City unharmed.
Black Star reached out a hand, letting wrap around Tempest's upper arm lightly. "Are you alright?" He asked quietly as they fell into position, sitting down to wait for the signal.
"No." She answered. She broke his hold on her arm and turned to Maka, "Maka, Soul…" She looked behind her off in the distance. "I don't like this."
Maka nodded, "Ne, do you think we can make it, Soul, Tempest?"
"If we ran hard." Soul answered, "And didn't get ourselves killed."
"I bet Marie-sensei is already headed there." Tempest added in.
"What are you three talking about?" Kidd questioned, frowning.
"Medusa has Stein-sensei, Marie-sensei loves Stein-sensei, she's gonna go after him despite orders." Tempest answered, "I'm debating whether to go help her or not."
Black Star leaned back, "Do what you want, won't hurt anyone."
Kidd didn't like this conversation but sighed, "I need to move into position. Be careful." He didn't say what to be careful about.
"Black Star? Do you think you can handle this until we get back?" Maka asked, catching Soul as he transformed.
"I'm Black Star! Of course I can." He answered with a snort, leaning forward with a thumbs up. "But watch yourself, Maka. You can't just kill Medusa, not with that kid in the way."
Maka grinned, taking off in the opposite direction of Arachne's fortress. Tempest moved to follow, but a hand caught her wrist and spun her around.
She froze, wide green eyes meeting bright cerulean that were much closer then they usually were. Black Star pulled back with a soft look, "Wanted to do that…just in case."
She flushed, never having that sort of experience with a guy at all, she turned around and muttered something he barely caught before taking off.
"What's the hold up?" Maka asked her.
Tempest didn't meet her eyes, but merely said, "Nothing, let's go!" They had a lot of work to do, and only a short time to do it.
"We'll be trapped in!" Kidd shouted, staring as the sky around them began to become closed off in a dome.
"Keh, we'll just have to fight our way out then." Black Star answered, stance tensing.
"Not without us you won't!" A shout sounded.
Looking up, they saw two figures free falling. "Talk about adrenaline rush." Soul's voice sounded as the two landed.
"Maka chuckled, "Hehe, I think that's just satisfaction."
Tempest, oddly enough, smiled devilishly, soul radiating caution, power and happiness. "Agreed, I think we're still hyped up on kill Medusa."
"What's up with her?" Liz asked.
"Something about centering herself, I couldn't make all her mumbles out." Maka answered.
Tempest looked back at them, still grinning, "I just remembered the true me, is all. I'm still the one you know, I just remembered how much I love a good brawl." She explained, "Besides that, my magic centered and matured, which means I'm much stronger now."
Black Star grunted, "Let's get this over with." He said. He had things to do that didn't involve a smelly old guy on a power/fear trip.
She cursed in her head. This was bad, if Maka didn't hurry… As it was, she was beginning to feel exhausted. Kidd and Black Star were out, just like Liz, Patti and Tsubaki. The backlash from Maka's fight with the Kishin kept getting higher and higher, and Tempest had, had to resort to slicing both wrists open to coat her friends in black blood armor and start slowly healing them.
"Maka, you have to hurry!" She shouted. It brought the Kishin's eye on her.
"Oh? So you really are a witch, I had thought as much…" His eyes narrowed, "Too powerful, can't let you live…"
"Leave her alone!" Maka snarled, black blood flowing onto her body. She couldn't cut the Kishin with Demon Hunter, but at least she could protect herself and Tempest by keeping up with him in hand to hand.
Marie clutched Stein closer as they observed the orb, much like everyone else present. They worried about the teenagers inside, people they still saw as children- at least age wise. Most, by now, knew it was much different.
"I-It's clearing!" Nygus exclaimed, eyes wide in shock.
Marie clenched a fist, "Please…"
Spirit grinned, "They're alive!" He crowed.
"Are you alright?"
She looked over at Black Star, letting the last of the black blood recede into her body. "Hai, I'm fine. Everyone else?"
"All good." Was her answer.
"Ne, Tempest?" Black Star called, sitting up.
She turned back towards him blinking as he was suddenly an inch from her face as his hand tugged her hair out of it's pony tail and rested on the back of her neck. "Love you too." He said quietly, kissing her for the second time that day.
She blinked before smiling into it, wrapping her arms around his neck. So he had heard her earlier.
Several certain team members snickered, "Finally. After three months of pushing those two together." Soul groaned.
Liz let her eye twitch, "That's it, screw this! Soul, your taking Maka out on a date tomorrow, capiche?"
"EH?"
