So yeah I am writing this after uploading the first chapter on the website and let me tell you that this is a chapter where some things will come out and others will make even less sense.
Next thing on the list some time ago I read Hunter: The Witch by Lunarwolf11021 and while he got some pretty good ideas he didn't continue them so I will be trying to make his ideas of hunters into something slightly diffrent and work with it from there. And yes I wrote to author questioning him but I got no answer and don't worry I only care about the ideas of hunters which are: their wings and special abilities. Nothing more.
Now onto the gamer part... yeah it will be hard but I already have some things prepared and I am always open for ideas.
Pairing still undecided so moving on.
I said that I can't tell you when I will update but I will try and I repeat TRY to post new chapter every 2/3 days or if I got a good day mabye even 2 a day but don't get your hopes up, I promise nothing.
Thanks god of all for positive review and don't you worry there is your chapter.
With that done lets get this shit going.
EDIT1: Fixed most of grammar and typos problems.
Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from Au elements and OC's, the idea of Huners is inspired by Hunter: The Witch by Lunarwolf11021 who i asked but didn't get and answer.
Chapter 2. Leaving and Awakening
Order of the Phoenix knew that something was really wrong when Lily rushed out of the meeting, so all hoping to be helpful followed her and apperated to Godric's Hollow only to witness the aftermath of the battle between Voldemort and Charlus Potter. Many bowed their heads in mourning and respect for the fallen Potter. Not many of them would be able to fight Dark Lord and create such battlefield. But let's go back to the events that are currently going on in the Potter house.
After Lily rushed to find her children and her mother-in-law, she left James alone who was stricken with grief after seeing the dead body of his father. Trying to overcome the grief he tried following his wife along with Albus Dumbledore who was looking around in a sad manner. He already came to a conclusion that Peter must have betrayed them and sold them out to Voldemort but for now he needs to see if the children are even alive.
Coming to the nursery then came to another sad scene with Dorea Potter lying on the floor, dead. Lily quickly came out of her shock and rushed to check if her babies are alive. James even more grief stricken decided that his children are now more important and followed his wife. All the while Albus Dumbledore was observing nursery with a serious look. Finally his eyes wandered to the black cloak that was lying on the floor, slowly walking towards it Dumbledore made a few flicks with his wand and the cloak started levitating while revealing bony want and some ash under it. Seeing this Albus's eyes widened,"Impossible, Voldemort would never leave his wand so that must mean that he is gone, well not gone forever but nonetheless gone that gives me time to train the new saviour and make sure that he or she won't walk in the darkness. Yes, yes but there is one visible problem, Potters have two children and that won't do,no, definitely not. But I know that Lily has a sister and she surely won't mind rising a child. Now I only need to get James and Lily aboard with this plan but there is nothing that a few compulsion charms won't fix."
With the plan made he walked to the parents who were currently gushing over their children, he wanted to speak but Lily beat him to it, "Headmaster what happened here my in-laws are dead while the children are asleep with Daniel having a small scar on his hand."
Dumbledore rised an eyebrow at the scar comment and asked while looking at Daniel, " May I?" Lily only nodded and handed him her son. Albus made some movements with his wand over the boy's hand and gasped.
Lily getting worried that something was wrong asked, " Is something wrong professor, If it is I hope that you can do something about it," her tone was pleading but he quickly replied to calm her down, "No, Nothing is wrong, It is just that the scar has some dark magic imprint and if what i discovered is right then Daniel defeated Lord Voldemort and is a first person to survive a killing curse."
Lily and James just gained shocked faces and James couldn't help but ask, " But Headmaster how can you be so sure, what about Diana," Albus only walked to him and made the same movements with his wand like he done with Daniel and said in a grim voice,"I am sure of what happened here because there is no single imprints of dark magic on Diana and I am sorry to bring you the news but I can't even sense a single strand of magic from her which means that se is a squib or a really late bloomer."
The only thing that he got from children parents were wide look of horror and worry. He knew that now was the chance to present his plans when their minds are so open. Even a single compulsion charm will give him what he wants in their current state of mind.
"There is another thing to talk about,"he sighed and put the best grandfatherly mask on his face," like both of you probably know Voldemort is not gone forever and because of that Daniel will need training and full attention," he paused for a second to see their reaction and was pleased that his compulsion charm was already working,"they didn't even question me or asked about their daughter, that's good","with that you will have your hands full and I am sure that your friends will be there for you there is still the matter of you daughter," ah and there it is, he will probably need another charm for Lily, james is to stricken with what happened tonight to think straight.
"What of my daughter, we will rise her even if she is a squib" demanded Lily, for her it sounded like headmaster telling them to abandon their daughter to the wolves.
"Calm down Lily and let me finish,"after firing another compulsion charm the effect took in and Lily looked at him waiting for him to continue, " you see because she is a squib her life in magical world would be hard so why don't help her send her to your sister where she could learn about muggles and go to normal school."
He sighed as he took in the look of determination on Lily's face and sighed even deeper when he heard her reply,"We can give her the best education when she is with us, I know that my sister hates everything that goes along with magic so there is not a chance that she would take our daughter in," Lily said in a serious voice but you could hear that she wasn't even sure about what she has said.
"Almost there I need to hurry before others come in, Sirius may not be that easy to persuade and I don't want to destroy his mind with compulsion charms," thought Albus he was sure that he only needs one more line and Lily will give her daughter away, "But Lily you need to remember that she don't have magic and it is better for her to not experience or she will just start hating herself because she don't have magic, do you really want to see how your own daughter hates herself?"
That was it, he could see her resolve crumble and slowly nodding her head,"good now I just need to leave Diana with Lily's sister and then do damage control and tell the world about Voldemort's fall," again putting his grandfatherly mask he asked the redhead," So what it will is Lily, I know that you love your daughter so you should know what will be the best for her."
Lily only shook her head and spoke, "alright headmaster if you think that it is for the best than I agree on that," then she looked and James and asked him," What do you think about this James are you alright with it?" her voice was tired and you could see that she wanted for everything to end .
James only looked at her with dull eyes and nodded, with a sigh Lily walked to Dumbledore , gave him her daughter and spoke, "Please professor make sure that she has a good life."
"Don't worry Lily I will make sure of that," was the short answer of Albus Dumbledore with a smile he nodded towards both of them and bid them goodbye so they could grief and take care of the dead that was still lying on the floor. ( AN: ye kinda forgot about that huh, but don't worry I got this). Spinning on his shoes he disappeared with a soft crack before reappearing in privet drive in Surrey. Making his way towards the house with number 4 he flicked his wand and created a short roll of paper, quickly writing the girls name, date of birth and some her age. He created a small crib for the baby and put her on the stairs. After that he knocked a few times on the door and walked away before disappearing with another crack.
After a minute the door opened and in sight was a thin, blonde-haired woman with pale eyes and neck which was way too long. She looked around the house seeing nothing she went to close her door only to be interrupted by a voice of a child. Looking down she came face to face with the deepest violet eyes that she have ever seen, the odd thing was that the eyes gave a slight glow. Petunia Dursley which was the name of the giraffe woman took the notice of small paper and quickly read it, by the end of the letter she snarled and shouted,"Vernon dear come here for a moment," she quickly got her answer with another shout, really it was a miracle that they haven't woken anybody up,"What is it Pet, if it is another of those dealers tell him that we don't want anything," Petunia only sighed tiredly and shouted again," It is not that Vernon, please just come here so we can get this over with," the only thing that she got in reply was a loud grunt. After almost half a minute a man came into the view and the only thing that could possibly describe him was that he was a valrus in a human clothing.
"what is it Pet and why do you have a baby in your arms," asked the valrus," Vernon this is a daughter of my sister, i don't know why they left her here but if she is even slightly freekish I won't have her in my house," Vernon after hearing that only turned purple in rage and said, ok more like shouted,"You are right Petunia we won't have any of their freakishnes in our house, give me her I will drive and leave her in the orphanage, let them worry about the freak."
With that said Petunia handed the letter and baby to her husband and walked back to her house while Vernon went to his car. After 30 minutes of driving the valrus got out of his car and took her niece along with the letter and dropped her by the stairs after ringin the bell a few times. With that done he walked back to his car and drive away never to be seen again by her niece.
After a minute of shuffling behind the doors they finally opened and out walked a woman in her late forties, she had short blonde hair, icy blue eyes with stern look on her face while wearing simple black, night gown. She looked around and noticed the bundle with a baby, quickly walking towards it she spoke,"and what are you doing here alone on such a cold night little one," she rised the child and saw a letter attached, quickly reading it she spoke after, "Diana Rose Potter huh, let me welcome you to your new home St Matthew Orphanage."
She went back into the building and carried the child to her new room where the other little kids were before getting their rooms with normal beds. After getting that done she went to sleep and in the morning she spoke with another mathron about their new occupant.
One week later, Potter Manor
It was a nice day in the Potter Manor Lily and James were eating dinner prepared by house elves, with Lily feeding her son, " How was your day honey?" was the question coming form the redhead, James looked at her and smiled slightly, " All good Lils, tiring ass hell but with Voldemort downfall everything is going in to a good place. Apart from my promotion to a head Auror you could say that nothing could be better," ended James smiling all the while, both parents never noticing the flaring of their floo, when the green light came down rushing in came Sirius Black.
"Hi Prongs, Prongslet, Lily how are you doing in this beautiful day, and where is my Princess?" Sirius spoke in glee, really nothing could ruin his time right now, he finally could stop running and show everyone something that he didn't dare to do during war, "I have some news to tell and wanted to see my goddaughter.
James and Lily paled slightly and the redhead tried to answer, " She is not here Sirius and won't be for a while" her tone was nervous and Sirius catch on fast.
"What do you mean, you told me that everything is alright with the kids and I could visit them later in the week so I am asking again. Where. Is. My. Goddaughter," Sirius tone was serious (An: No pun intended) ale had a dangerous edge to it.
"Calm down Padfoot, there is something that we need to talk about with you," spoke James trying to calm down his friend.
Sirius calmed down a bit sat down and said still with that warning tone, "You better have a good reason that she isn't here or I will not be responsible for my actions."
Lily decided that was a good moment as any to start explaining, "Padfoot we were forced to send her away, Dumbledore told us that she is a squib and with her brother being the Boy-who-lived she would get jealous and would start to hate herself for not having magic like her family plus if our attention would be centered more on Daniel then she would think that we don't love her. I just want a good life from her and if it means sending her to muggles so she could adapt then we will do it," Lily ended it with finality in her voice.
Sirius hearing what his friends have done just couldn't believe it, how in the world two of the most wonderful people that he knows could abandon their own daughter to muggles, even if she is a squib.
"Tell me where she is right now so our friendship may survive" demanded Black.
"Come on Padfoot you must be kidding you know that it will be the best for her," tried James, but Sirius was having none of it.
"I repeat tell me where she is or this is the end," He was sad that it needed to come to that but he just couldn't believe what they have done.
"No, Padfoot no she won't have any experience with magical world and that is final,"James spoke with finality in his voice and Black Hearing this just turned around and moved to the floo stopping for a second and speaking up again, "I hope that you will have a good day Lord and Lady Potter Goodbye," with that he threw some of floo powder, called his destination ad disappeared in green flames.
Few seconds later, Black Manor
Angry Sirius Black strode to the living room of his house and sat down on the couch taking his head into his hands while shaking it left and right, "how could they dammit, how could they," he shouted furiously. In the exact moment in walked beautiful woman in her early twenties, she had shoulder length white hair, baby blue eyes and cute face, she was wearing a dark blue gown that hung to her hourglass figure and her high D-cup breasts. She walked slowly to Sirius and asked, " What happened that got you so angry, before you were leaving you looked like Voldemort could come back and you would still be smiling," She tried to joke lightly but only got sigh in return.
Turning towards his wife he spoke, " It is James and Lily, do you know what that have done? After Dumbles told them that their daughter is a squib the send her away just like that without anything , So she could live with miggles and adapt, phh , loads of bull, and what the best of it, they won't tell me where she is, me a sworn godfather doesn't even know where his ward is, it is just so damn pathetic that I don't know what to do."
His wife was left wide eyed at what she heard, how could a parent abandon their child because they are squib she can even imagine leaving her little Alya a girl that is the same age like Diana, " I just don't know what to do Emily, I just don't know," with that said tears started to fall from his eyes.
"It will be alright dear, you will find her and bring her here, don't you worry"
Few Days after Diana's third birthday ( AN: From here most of the story is a mix between first and third person)
St Matthew Orphanage while not a bad place to grow up for an orphan one could not say that it was good. No, definitely not, while the kids had their rooms and food to eat it wasn't much. plus taking under consideration that after the old matron Elise Barlow retired the new one, younger didn't care about the children at the same level as the previous one. While she sometimes bought them new wings to play with or to read it wasn't much but the kids didn't know and other life so they never spoken up why that happens to them.
The new mathron Ava Lynn was a vengeful bitch at least that's how the older kids called her, and while she didn't physically abuse them she could punish kids without a reason and don't give them anything to eat in one meal. And while children slowly adapted to it or some were adopted to never be seen again there was one child that got it a lot worse, from the day that she could remember which might not be much because she is still 3 years old, she always knew that she was more mature than other kids, maybe not much but she did not cry when someone took something from her and tried to bully her, no she only glared at them sometimes making them go away and leave her alone, she didn't know why but there was some satisfaction when they backed away. Anyway because of that she always was a loner, never one to make friends, never one to play with others and never one to talk to others. She preferred to sit around and watch others or read books or comics that the orphanage got, not much but always something. She knew that is not normal for a 3 years old kid but who would call her normal if they saw her dreams.
She dropped graciously form the tree branch and started walking towards the orphanage building. Stepping into the light one could see normal for her height a whole 3'1" she has long black as night hair that reached her middle back, her face of an angel that gave her much cuteness, a small nose, soft pink lips and the most endearing part were hers eyes that deep violet eyes that gave a slight glow. The girl sometimes noticed that her pupil was slowly changing from its normal form to a slit that change occurred the most when she was angry or glared at someone, this was the moment when her eyes stopped being adorable and began making people back off. For the girl it was a welcome change, she was always different so why not slits for pupils hmm? With that she sighted and stopped thinking of it and walked into, the one of the bigger rooms on the orphanage. "It must be the only room where walls are not grey" she thought dryly and that was the sad truth, the playroom- thats how kids called it- was the only room that was colored in different colour than grey. "You know thinking of it grey would be better instead of a color that looks like vomit" with that a frown appeared on her cute face when she saw a boy 2 years older than her walk towards her. She quickly fixed her standard galre hoping that he will just go away, unfortunately it wasn't to be and after a quick stop he started walking again.
She just sighed and prepared herself for what's to come, " Hey freak, you already back from your jungle," some kids around laughed at this,"really he got nothing better?, pathetic" was her and few others thought about what the boy said, speaking of him, he saw that the freak is ignoring him and said,"Stop ignoring me, we both know that I am talking to you so speak when I ask you," he shouted getting angry at her lack of response.
She looked at him without any interest and spoke,"huh, you said something?, I thought that it was the noise of wind but I can see now that you were babbling again," her eyes held no emotions but if one looked closer they would see some mirth in her eyes.
"You think that you are all high and mighty, you should get out and don't come to this room again Potter," ah, here it is her name Diana Potter, the loner, freak, abomination, some even call her monster and the best thing is most don't even know why and just go with the flow but what do you expect from 3 to 10 years old ( the older kids don't really care), she know how she got title of loner and of freak an abomination because what normal kid acts like her and the weird things that happen around her. So she really don't mind and just ignore them even if it slightly hurt deep inside, damn she is a 3 years old what do you expect to just walk through it like a war veteran, nope, nada, no. But even her indifference is mostly caused because of her dreams, God she might hate them at first but now they are hers safe zone, something to back up to.
So going back to kids bickering she saw most of the kids nodding and sighed,"well grey it is then," with that she took one of comics and walked out of the playroom towards the stairs so she could get to her room, yes hers room because no one wants to be near her when they sleep she got a solo room and she is thankful for that because she got at least some freedom with it.
She walked into her room and laid on hers small bed, making herself comfortable she took the comic book and though,"Bleach well, I am sure that someone of my age shouldn't read this anyway who cares, this orphanage is one big battle royale so really," After rereading the whole comic book 3 times she finally dozed off and fallen asleep.
Dreamscape
There she is again in the green forests and the wood village where people with wings fight with various weapons against each other in sparring match some more friendly others more vicious. But that's not what caught her eye, no what caught her eye was the girl maybe 3 or 4 years older than her with blue hair face similar to hers and silver eyes walking towards a small building along with other children.
Then her view changed to the one inside said building and she saw around 8 children and one adult, he was a man of a tall with muscles of a swimmer and handsome face if it was not for the big amount of scars on it.
The man stood up and spoke," Okay children, what can you tell me about hunters show me that you listened during previous lesson," the man tone was laced with desperation and everyone could hear it because instantly there were some giggling in the back of the class, teachers eyes quickly found the culprit and asked,"Mia I see that you got plenty energy, why don't you answer the question," looking with a small glare on Mia the girl fidgeted in her seat and spoke up, "Hunters are a race created by a goddess whose name got lost in time," after answering the question she sat down and looked quite proud of herself.
The man only sighed tiredly and said,"yes that's true but is it really all that you remember?" he asked again, after 30 seconds of silence he sighed again and continued," well if no one can tell me I will repeat it one and the last time. Hunters were like you said created many millennials ago to fight in the war with demons, after many long and bloody battles our kind managed to close the rifts between our world and the demon world aka Makai, unfortunately for us our numbers went from thousands to hundreds and those that were left decided to split up in groups so every group could take care of their part of the world and take care on stray demons or new rifts. Our race is stronger,faster have better senses then most of the elves and are born warriors, on 16th birthday everyone of use go through wing ceremony where they grew their wings and are given names that speaks about them. Nowadays we still fight demons along with closing rifts, but our numbers are low and demons are gaining the upper hand and thats is why I am asking to take your studies seriously, your life can depend on it in the future."
Most of the students gained determination looks and started asking questions about hunters and their past, teacher couldn't help but be proud with his students and answered most of the asked questions. Diana wanted to listen more this was just so interesting and she felt like it is where she belong bot instead of hearing the next lesson she just heard someone shouting her name
"POTTER, POTTER get down right now it is dinner time" ahh the lovely matron and her shrieking. Without giving and answer she got up and walked for dinner.
One year later, Same place
Another year has passed in St Matthew Orphanage and you could say that nothing really changed, well maybe for the most of occupants but one little girl by the name of Diana Potter decided that maybe, just maybe she gets those dreams for a reason and for the past year she tried copy what she has seen and become better. Yeah she may be mature but she is still a kid and kids have dreams and Diana thought that if she will follow some of the things that she has seen, then maybe someone will adopt her. Yes Diana's biggest dream is to have a family, a family that will love and give her the attention that she seeks so much.
Unfortunately in the back of her mind she knew that this will not help her because how skills to be sneaky, be able to steal or being able to throw something with such precision that one time she almost killed a flying bird,"Yep not the best of my moments," she thought dryly with a frown. There were other dreams that instead showing it's normal hunter lessons instead showed fights and battles between the winged race and monsters that looked like straight from hell. "Demons," that what they are, it is interesting that in her dreams the teacher talked about the history of hunter, how they fight , why they fight, when they get their wings and what they mean, how to be sneaky and steal without being seen but not one time did he speak about demons, hell they even had lessons how to act properly with different kinds of people. While Diana knows that those dreams are just that, dreams she just can't help but wish to be the one fighting or to fly, "be free," how she would love to leave this place where she is only glared at and can't even make a single friend.
That is one of the reasons why she started to try sneaking away and mapping the area around of orphanage in her mind. She knows that she can't do anything about staying there because where she would sleep and eat, yes she might be able to steal some money but let's be serious if someone saw a girl of 4 years walk around the city alone nothing good would happen. Not only they would bring her back here and then she would be punished but you don't know who will find her and she sure as hell can't defend herself against adults of that she is sure, she might be stronger, faster, more flexible and mature then her peers but not on the level of adult. So, sadly no running away anytime soon.
For now she just decide to map the area around so she won't get lost on fer small escapades. She made a plan to do this maximum 2 times a week ( she don't want anybody discovering her), then Diana would try to steal some money, which wasn't hard because who would suspect such cute little girl for stealing and after that she could buy something for her not much and she needed to hide those things in her room but it was still nice to have something that belonged to you. She mostly bought books or more comics books to read as they wouldn't sell her knives, "really nothing worked, kinda sad but can't have everything," she thought with a cute pout on her face, really her lessons in throwing things would skyrocket if she got those knives plus that would be the first thing that would enable her to defend herself.
Anyway not it is time to go to sleep tomorrow all of them are going to Zoo, "I am still wondering what got into the matron to bring us to zoo, really for such a bitch she is starting to be awfully nice lately, well nice to others not me," she thought with a frown,yeah the matron bitch started to act weird those past 2 months and even if she herself is not getting any better treatment at least other kids are more happy,oh come on you didn't really thought that she will hold a grudge towards 4-8 years old kids, yeah she might not like them but let's be realistic.
With that she lied down on her bed and drifted off to sleep hoping that it will be one of those nights that the hunters dreams come as they happen not more than one or two times a week.
Dreamscape
When she could see again she saw that she was in the same classroom that all the lessons take place but there were two different things. One, the teacher was different, he was a short old man with wrinkly face and gray hair,"yey gray old man this lesson will for sure be interesting" Diana thought sarcastically. Two there were no desks for students which was weird itself.
"Come in all of you and take places so all of you will have enough space for themselves," with that all the kids walked in and sat down on the prepared mats on the floor, " Good, now as you can see your previous teacher Ladon won't be teaching you for the next year, as you have completed your entry course about hunters and their basic skills now it is time for the next level, my given hunter name is Odin, from now one you will learn from me how to control and bring out your magic just like the wizards and witches around the world are doing but without the need of wands which is funny how they use it," with a quick wave of his hand the whole building was frozen, the gids only looked in awe and Diana was no better," as you can see this is just a small portion of what you will be able to do if you master the art of magic," with another wave of his hand the ice disappeared.
"Now there a lot methods to feel and bring out your magic but we won't be doing this for some time," most of the kids gained resigned looks but perked up at his next words, "don't worry you will all be using magic soon but the first thing that I will teach you is the art of occulumency. Wizards think that occulumency is simply a part of mind magic that defend you from legilimes and they can't be more wrong, Yes it defend you from mind attacks but it gives you so much more," he only shook his head at wizards stupidity.
Diana listening to this was even more in awe, there were wizards and other creatures apart from demons and hunters? Damn how she wished that she lived in that world, but even if it is only dream lesson when she still try to do what the old man says, she always followed the previous teachers lessons so why not now, it my be a children dreams but damn right that she is a child.
Seeing that the old man was continuing she got a hold of herself and started listening, "Occulumecy art of mind magic that enables you to defend form mind attacks, to create your own mindscape, to sort your memories so you will be able to easier remember something and most importantly it enables you to easily find you magic core and merge with it," He stopped for a moment so they could all go through the new information and was pleased to see that all of them had looks of understanding, " good, I see that you all understand and that's why for the next month all of you will learn and master the art, and I warn you I won't accept anything below perfect," he ended with a warning but soft tone. (An: I would bore you with all the steps to master it but really who wants to read it so the only part that I will cover is the merging of magic core with your mind)
Odin then presented them all the steps so if someone wants they can go ahead. Diana already committed all those steps to her memory hoping that she won't forget anything. After the lessons ended she saw the dream falling apart and knew that she is waking up. With a sigh she closed her eyes and opened them her lying on her bed in her room.
One month later
The last month in Diana's opinion was uneventful, well mostly if you take under consideration the weird creatures that she saw in zoo. While she had fun on the trip two things kinda freaked her out. First and the most important maybe would be amusing if it wasn't scary at the same time.
Flashback, zoo trip
The road to zoo was pretty boring and you could ask why when she wants to see more of the world. Will the answer is quite easy they used underground metro... Yep and with that she didn't get to see shit. Sad I know but at least she got out of orphanage. At first she was fascinated by all of the animals but was slightly put off when most of them ran away when they saw her eyes on them, weird.
Anyway, getting kinda sad because of the animals running of she decided to walk around and see if maybe some others animals will be more friendly.
With that after 5 minutes of walking she came to a place that was holding some of the most dangerous snakes in the world, at first she was glad that they didn't run away but then she heard some voices, "sstupid humass, look at her watching ussss like we are sssome sstupid beasstsss," Diana not knowing what is going on only looked around her to she who said that, "haha ssstupid girl," ok now that was mean so she tried to respond.
"Yeah?, Even if I am stupid I at least can show my face and what about you hiding like a little bitch," she was angry, no one will call her stupid if they can't even show their face, how can she glare at them if she don't know where they are she thought with a pout.
"Ssssspeaker, we apologize for dissssresspecting a noble blood," the snakes spoke together with wide eyes, it is an honor to meet a speaker of their noble tongue so they don't want to make an enemy of her.
"Speaker? Noble blood? What are you talking about and where are you?" she asked with a frown,"could they just show themselves?"
"Yesss ssspeaker of the noble ssserpent language, we are in the cage before you sspeaker," with that she turned back to the snake cage wide eyed, "Damn even hunters in my dreams couldn't speak to snakes. What. The. Hell," not that she is not happy because now she knows that she is not normal and the lessons from dreams might work.
"I see but how can I speak your language, I already saw some snakes and they didn't talk to me" asked Diana curiously.
"They just didn't want to, as to how you can speak our language that we don't know, we are normal snakes not magical so we don't have much informations," this answer left Diana even more wide eyed.
"Did you just say magical?, Does it means that magic world exist, can you tell me something about it?" she fired of the questions excitedly, if the magic world exists then so may hunters!
"Yes girl, magical world exists but as I said we are normal snakes and don't really interact with magical world but if there is one thing that I can tell you is that if you want informations you should follow people in weird robes, those are most likely wizards or witches and they may help you," answered the snake hoping to help the new speaker.
"Robes? What the hell is wrong with them, they are wearing robes what it is Middle Ages? What more maybe some will tell me that they live in castles? (All around Britain every pureblood sneezed) Now I know why the old man laughed at them," though incredulously Diana.
"Any way thank you for your help noble snakes, I would free you but I don't really know how so i guess it is farewell," she spoke with a sad tone, she wanted to help them, they gave her so good news that she will be in debt to them forever, "well maybe someday."
After walking around for some time in hopes of finding her group, she almost fainted on the spot because of what was standing about 12 ft from her. It would be amusing sight if it wasn't for the persons face. Before her stood Cyclops taken straight from greek mythology, " Really what is wrong with today's , first talking to snakes, confirming the existence of magic world and now funny looking cyclops?"
Yeah it is probably important to take notice of what the creature was wearing. He or she, Diana can't really tell, was wearing short pink skirt that you could see during circus performances and over her/his torso they wore ugly looking woolen sweater. Others thing that you could see was that they were not wearing any boots.
Quickly getting her shock under control she slowly backed off all the while wondering, " Why no one is taking notice of this creature, it is just standing there," she thought still with slightly wide eyes. But of course my life can't be easy for her and getting to another cage which was holding grizzly bears, her heart almost stopped again.
If see studied some of greek mythology she would know what the beast was but all that she knows now that it looked like a dog that had 2 heads, was big, black and had scary red glowing eyes.
With that image in her mind she ran as fast as she could to find her group. Thanks to Lady Luck nothing more happened on the trip and she safely got back to orphanage where she ate hers dinner and went to sleep hoping for a hunter dream it could get her mind of the things that she had seen.
FlashBack End
With that events she decided that if magic world exists with creatures that come from greek mythology she needs more information and learn how to defend herself. So it was no surprise that she mastered occulumency in 2 weeks and wanted to merge her magic with mind so she could train with it but instead the last steps that she needed, she got only more theoretical knowledge. She learned why wizards can't use magic without a wand, that magic is mostly your intent, will and imagination, and with it you can do anything. But there is one thing she learned that got her to shout in glee.
Flashback to a dream
"Welcome back my students," Odin greeted his class with a smile, they are really getting along well, "Today we won't practice occulumency because I have got a subject which is one of the most important things in your life if you want to be the best of the best hunters. So with that lets start," ha paused for a moment, took a deep breath and continued, "Like you all know we hunters do the best in the wild where we are free or in the sky where we can use our wings like we want. You also know that all of us possess animal instinct and their senses. And that's what we will talk about today, creature or like maybe some of you know creatures that represents our soul and create patterns for our wings, soul creatures when merged with hunter give him ability to transform into it and if it is a creature of long life like dragons, phoenixes, thunderbirds or others they give the long life to their partner. But those are very rare and you could say that I am the last of those hunters. Of course other creatures also give longer life but not like the ones that I mentioned earlier. Apart of longer life span each hunter get some of the abilities of their creature, for example a kitsune hunter would have an easier time sneaking and controllingelement which their kitsune represent. Learning of such transformation is a long way from you but never forget about it and always remember that some of your abilities may come from your soul creature. It will help you when you will take the last step to completely merge with your partner. Ah and before I forget, Wizards and witches got something called animagus transformation which enables them to change to an animal which represents them the most. I will say it once and only once, don't you ever try to go with that process or you will lose your soul creature that is always more powerful than animagus. That all on this we will come back to it in a few months."
Flashback End
Transforming to a creature of legends? Who wouldn't want that and for a 4 years old kid this was something epic. But now she needs to calm down and go to sleep, tonight will be exactly one month when she started learning occulumency and she hopes that tomorrow she will be able to finally use magic.
Dreamscape
"It is good to see you all here with those determinate looks. Like you all know today you will make the first big step towards mastering the art of magic. Now I want all of you to get comfortable and go to your perfected mindscape but let your barriers fall down so I will be able with little legilimecy speak to all of you when you go deep inside your mind," he saw all of them do exactly what he told them and Diana prepared herself to remember every single thing said by the old man and do it when she wakes up, "Good, you should all be able to hear me now. Right now Go to the centre of your mind," he waited a minute before continuing, "now that you are all there I need you to do the same thing which you have done on the outside and focus on getting even deeper inside, don't worry I will know when all of you get it and wait for all, " the dream shimmered slightly, Diana deduced that it worked like a time skip, seeing Odin continue she focused,"Good I see that all of you accomplished it, Now comes the hard and slightly painful part. All of you are now in a deep darkness but I know that all of you can feel something around you. Now you need to focus on this feeling and brin it all before you and I repeat you need to gather every single drop of it, before you start I need tell you that it will be the painful part. Starting you won't feel anything but after gathering more that a half your body will start burning up and some parts of your body will hurt. The reason to it is pretty simple what are you doing now is not really natural, you are trying to control all your power and gather it in one place so it will get stronger and your control of it will be easier. With that being said i wish you good luck."
There was another shimmer signaling another time skip and Diana saw the old man speaking again, "I am proud of you all, the process is now almost completed the last thing that you need to do is to go into what you gathered get a tight hold of it and will yourself back to mindscape all the while holding tight. If you do everything correctly then you will be back in your mindscape and your power will merge with it, signaling it with a glow of your magic around your body."
After 2 minutes all of the students opened their eyes to see the glow that they were giving off. Diana only watched in awe and couldn't wait to do it herself.
End of the dream
Waking up she went with her normal routine (shower, brushing her teeth, get dressed up, check her occulumecny), after that she went to get her breakfast. Quickly eating it trying to hide her excitement she rushed back to her room and closed her doors.
She sat down with her legs crossed and focused on her mindscape. Getting there without problem like it was second nature to her she walked through it. She modeled it after a castle that she saw in a book. it wasn't super large but just in the right size it was built with pure black stone, it had two towers from which lamps that emitted purple light scanned everything around the castle. They alerted her when they discovered a single probe of unknown origin.
Around the caste on could see large amount of creatures of magic or greek mythology (she got the idea after her day in the zoo), they were the second defense after the barrier around her mind.
Walking into the hallway she instantly began walking towards her study in the castle. All of the other rooms were fakes and traps you go in but never go out, it is her ultimate defence. Walking into her study she spoke in the tongue of the snakes, "Show me my secrets," they wall behind the desk slowly disappeared showing stairs that led deep down under the castle.
After walking for around 5 minutes she came into a large room with shelves on which laid books, every shelve had a description which part of her life they represented and every book was another memory of hers. Walking towards the lone table in the center of her library, she sat down and done exactly what the old man said.
Half an hour later she opened her eyes to the vast darkness around her but she could feel the power coursing around her. Following the next step she focused on it all and started to pull slowly after almost an hour she could feel herself burning up and starting to notice the pains around her body. Pushing the pain int the back of her mind she focused even more on catching all of her power. After another painful hour she opened her eyes to see the vast amount of her black with deep violet speck power. She was left wide eyed at the amount and couldn't help but remember the old man's words, "the amount of magic that you will see mostly depends on the person but taking your age under consideration it shouldn't be bigger then this house that we are in, don't be sad because as you grow and train your power grows with you, now lets begin ," it was one of his last words before they began but now they just don't make any sense."This is like a 50 times bigger than the house old man, what the hell," thought Diana incredulously, shrugging she followed with the last step and went into the large orb and grabbed it tightly with all her power and will herself out here back to mindscape.
Opening her eyes again to the sight of her glowing library, she exited her mindscape only to see her body radiating black glow mixed with some violet. She could feel her power coursing through her whole body. Happy with herself she started to feel dizzy. Knowing that she will faint soon she got up on her bed and blacked out.
One year later, forest near orphanage
If one were to wander to the big forest some distance from St Matthew Orphanage he would hear the sounds of snaping of trees and heavy panting. Thats is exactly how we find young Diana Potter. She had her black hair braided into a ponytail that fall to her lower back, her face was glistened with sweat and one could see that she has been working hard by the amount of destroyed stumps and broken tree branches around her. She wore green pants that reached her knees, a blue blouse that was a bit too big for her and on her feet were used black sneakers. She now stood with the height of 3ft and 7 inches and was totally exhausted by her workout.
Still she can not be more proud of herself. After unlocking magic her dream lessons continued, at first the old man thought how to bring out their magic out and then gave many exercises to them so they could learn how to control it (An: Think chakra control in Naruto) 2 months later after completing all of them he started teaching them simple spells that helped in the everyday life for example: summoning, banishing , how to create water, cleaning, opening doors, levitation, and much more, he stated that while a lot of practical magic can be learned from other people. Everyone of them had their own style and different magicks that they excelled at. He thought them how to check what affinity their magic responds to the most. Diana did it herself and she found out that her magic responds to fire (which is violet, what a surprise huh?),wind, and the problem was that she didn't really know how to train it so she decided to use some ideas from books and comics, she didn't get far as she started something like 2 weeks ago on that, but for now she can for small balls of fire and darkness along with producing some wind, not much but hey it is still something. Last week she decided that for now she will leave elemental magic and focus on non elemental magic and getting better control over it. That is why she goes to this clearing in the forest every two days and start with some running to built up her stamina ( the old man told them that if you are not strong psychically, you are as good as dead, Diana took it to the hearth and the 5 your old started running, she knew that strength training at her age doesn't make sense), after some running she sat down meditated to get a better hold on her magic. Next on her list was levitating things around herself, she saw jedi in star wars doing that so why not, and it was a very good idea as the more she tried to levitate the harder it was, when she started, she needed to focus on it and now she could do it with a single thought even if the max that she could lift was around 50kg (An: Sorry I am using kilograms). After finishing her train of thoughts she sat down and dozed off while today's earlier memory showed up in her dream.
Dream-Flashback, some time after another visit for adoption
Diana was hopeful today they were visited by a young couple that wished to adopt a child between 4-6 years old. She like always wasn't even excited for this, she knew that no one would adopt her so she didn't get her hopes up. But now after the visit she can not help herself, the woman looked at her like she was the most precious bing on the planet and she could feel her heart beating faster. So that why she decided to drop on the conversation between the couple and matron.
"I think that I and my husband decided to adopt the little cute girl with violet eyes, Diana was her name wasn't it?" spoke the woman with a smile, Diana almost shouted in joy, finally she would have family that will care for her. Unfortunately the voice of her mathron destroyed this hope.
"Are you sure m'am, there are some things that you should know about the girl,"spoke the matron with a frown, no it wouldn't do to give the freak a happy life when there are so many better kids," she doesn't get along with her peers and if they try to approach her she would call them names and send them crying, I know that she doesn't look like it but it is true, she is selfish and already started cursing at the age of 4 at that speaks for itself."
"Oh, really well that's just sad she is such a cute girl, but if you are telling the truth then may we do another round?" asked hopefully the woman.
"Of course come with me," and that was the last thing that Diana heard as she rushed out of orphanage with tears falling down her cheeks.
"That bitch, who does she think that she is telling lies of myself.. So that how it is huh, ok I see that gettings my hopes up only caused me to hurt more but no more," with that Diana Rose Potter for the first time felt pure hate, hate for the matron, for orphanage and for the people that meddle into other life's and for the people that left her here ( somewhere in Scotland an old goat sneezed). With that she started doing her normal routine but with a lot more determination, "I will show them."
End of dream and flashback
She woke up to the sound of a red spike that was flying towards her, rolling out of the way in last second. She got up to get a look at her opponent. I was of the size of grown up lion with six spider legs, it's head didn't have eyes but on the sides of it you could see 2 pairs of gills like appendage, it also had a big red nose that was constantly trying to find something, its neck was very short and it tailbone came out blade like tail. The most noticeable things were it's red spike on the top of its body taking under consideration that the rest of it's bedy was black.
The Spider-lion growled and rushed Diana, She quickly gathered as much magic as she could and pushed it towards the creature making it fly through the clearing and crash into a tree breaking it in process, Diana sighed in relief and decided to study it before it got up.
" No eyes,something like ghills and large nose, six like spider legs and spikes that he can shoot, well i am fucked but one thing is for sure that shit is a demon" she thought worryingly, there is no way in hell that she will defeat him like she is now, but it is her or death. Preparing herself to use something that was the last thing that she learned from Odin she focused her magic into her whole body augmenting it, It will give her the edge till the time that she figure something out.
After demon got up again it send some spikes at her all the while rushing towards her. Diana seeing this quickly escaped to the left while sending some of her darkness and fire to test this demon defence. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and the demon took it all without any problem. Quickly jumping onto one of the tree branches she started jumping around the demon trying to disorient it. After 10 minutes of avoiding spikes and jumping around Diana started getting tired, what could be seen from the cuts on her clothes and her bleeding left shoulder. Diana focused and thought, "It can't see me so if I make a lot of noise around myself and get my scent across this whole clearing I might get a chance to somehow end it," with plan made she first started by tearing some of her blouse and began to drop it a different location in the meanwhile getting another cut on her leg and almost falling down.
With scent taken care of she focused on levitating a big amount of small rocks in a different direction and then focused on her darkness magic and directed it to her hands to form 2 daggers, to her surprise instead getting two daggers created by Darkness she got two obviously real daggers which were black in color with a single deep violet line along the blade. They also had serrated edge.(AN:Don't really know how to describe them properly so just google Dedaric daggers from Skyrim and instead of the red line mine got violet, Ah and of course Disclimer: I Don't own those daggers just like their design) Not letting her shock get over her she grabbed both of them in reverse grip with the edges out and with one mental command she dropped all of the stones getting the beast to pause and start searching for her. Not wasting more time she channeled as much magic into her body as she could and run at the demon.
Ducking under one of it's legs that wanted to take her head off she slided under its belly and ran her daggers through it, making black blood drop on her. Seeing the beast dying and starting to fall down on her she wanted to run from it but she just didn't have anymore strength so with a heavy sigh she prepared herself for the worst.
Lucky for her in that moment her daggers gave a light glow and with that they absorbed the whole body of the demon. Diana sighed in relief and started to black out but before that could happen she saw a blue box in front of her with a big text.
