The WaterBearers Daughter

"I swear I'm going to go insane if I have one more of those bloody dreams!" Arianna Potter swore loudly as she stormed into the Great Hall for breakfast with her best friends, Daphne Greengrass, Tracy Davis, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbot, Luna Lovegood, and Hermione Granger. All the other kids jumped out of her way since she had powerful water and fire magic that was swirling around her in her anger.
"Don't be like that Ari. I warned you that the Potter family was well known for having mates instead of girlfriends or boyfriends. What does your mate look like anyways?" Daphne asked grinning as she teased her friend as the six thirteen year olds sat at the Slytherin table this morning. This wasn't anything new to anyone since the 'Amazon Squad' as the girls were called by some older years took turns sitting at each other's house tables eating meals.
"She's beautiful and seems older than the seventh years. She's around twenty if I had to guess. Long scarlet red hair, nicely tanned skin, full ruby red lips, warm brown eyes and a beautiful figure that most girls would die for." Arianna said grinning dreamingly as she stared off into space much like Luna usually did.
"Ohh. Looks like someone is a love sick puppy." Hermione teased as she broke the silence among the group after Arianna's description of her mate. This seemed to open the gates for all sorts of teasing remarks from the group of girls, most of which caused Arianna to blush darkly and pout at them cutely.
"Oh shut up you goofs before I soak you!" Arianna threatened after blushing a new shade of red at one of the remarks Luna had ever so innocently said. Needless to say that this caused her friends to shut their mouths quickly while the others nearby were snickering to their hearts content. It was always funny and refreshing to watch the 'Amazon Squad' act like regular kids despite all their heroic actions over the two years they've been at Hogwarts.
In Ariannas first year she had broken everyones expectations by being sorted into Hufflepuff, then proceeded to outwit several of the pureblood kids in debates, and proved herself to be smarter than a Claw and more cunning than a Snake. Not to mention there was the prank she had pulled on the teachers since that was the 'Amazon Squads' first official prank. She had talked them into making a potion and getting the elves to spike the teachers drinks so that they kept changing between their most hated colors randomly for a month…they still didn't have any proof that they were the ones to do it and so the Weasly twins were blamed. Ron Weasly and Draco Malfoy had also severely pissed off the young mage in training. Malfoy had angered her by insulting her family and Weasly by saying that she was weak because she was a Hufflepuff and a girl.
"What are you smirking about now Ari?" Daphne asked eyeing her friend warily, the girl was known for her crazy ideas that always worked and yet were always bat shit insane.
"Just remembering the looks on everyones faces when I finally got annoyed with Malfoy and Weasly." Arianna said causing her friends to snicker as well. After the two boys had finally pissed Arianna off enough times she had belted the two of them in the face with vicious right hooks that knocked them both out.
"Can you blame them? You were eleven at the time and had just knocked two boys the same age as you the fuck out with just one punch each! Ouch! That hurt Mione." Tracy said rubbing the back of her head from where Hermione had smacked her for cursing.
"Watch your language then cause that was the point…Despite how true what you said is." Hermione said without skipping a beat since she had gotten over her authority figure worshipping within the first week of school thanks to Arianna pointing out obvious flaws with several of the authority figures. Although the fact that she and the others had heard the headmaster talking about how he would turn Arianna into his 'weapon' one night definitely helped break her mindset.
"True. The looks on their faces was almost as hilarious as Minnies was." Arianna said smirking since she was the only one who could call the prim and proper Professor Minerva McGonagall 'Minnie' and get away with it and she damn well knew it. The Transfiguration teacher was like a grandmother to her and explained all about the Headmasters plans for her as well as the fact that the Headmaster kidnapped her from her real family at the age of six to the young mage.
"I'm sorry I still can't believe that you can get away with calling her that. The only reason I know you're not lying is cause I know you and cause of what happened last year." Daphne said shaking her head in bemusement since last year the girls were wondering around the castle and had ran across McGonagall just before the Basilisk that had been set loose that year attacked Justin Flinch-Fletchy and Nick. Let's just say that seeing your classmate and friend literally light herself on fire without getting hurt and then proceed to make an ice sword to completely dismember the large killing snake had really had an effect on the then twelve and eleven year olds.
"Sitting with the Mini-Death eaters again Potter? How about you stop pretending and just admit that you're my mate and come join the Gryffindors?" Ron Weasly asked with a sneer as he stepped up behind Arianna who banged her head on the table in front of her at his stupidity while everyone else in the Hall that was in second year or higher sighed and sat back to watch the show.
"Weasly. You're conscious and coherent. What a surprise." Arianna said coldly causing her friends to snicker and the older years to smirk since Ron was usually sent to the Hospital wing twice a week if not more so after being knocked out by Arianna.
"Whatever. Just admit you're my mate already and stop fighting it yeah?" Ron asked smiling nastily at Arianna as the black haired girl turned to look at him with one eyebrow raised coyly. The youngest red head male seemed to think that he and he alone was the only possible mate for Arianna and that anyone else who was mate potential was 'dark' and 'unworthy'.
"How about you eat dog crap Weasly? Smells like that's what you bath in at least." Arianna said crinkling her nose when the boy's body odor hit her like a ton of bricks. The red head seemed to have some problems with personal hygiene and any attempts to help him with it was stonewalled by both the boy, his older brother Percy, and his mother Molly. This caused her friends to snicker heartily while the other students were sniggering or giggling at the spectacle since the whole Hall was watching what was happening.
"Oh stop fighting and admit it already!" Ron snapped his face as red if not redder than his hair while Arianna merely smirked at him.
"Fine I'll admit to it." Here Arianna paused while the whole Halls jaws dropped and Ron looked smug before looking confused at Ariannas devious smirk.
"My mate is a girl and is at least nineteen or twenty." Arianna said before quickly stuffing her fingers into her ears with her friends not far behind.
"WHAT!?" The whole Hall exploded but none more loudly than McGonagall, Snape, Dumbledore, and the new DADA teacher Remus Lupin.
"SHE WILL NOT TOUCH YOU!" McGonagall roared like a lioness protecting its' cubs as she almost breathed fire, forcibly reminding the 'Amazon Squad' of Norbert the Dragon that they had helped Hagrid with in first year.
"Well she's my mate so she kinda will when I'm older." Arianna pointed out 'innocently' with a wide grin on her face before she covered her ears again while McGonagall let out another protective roar.
"She'll have to go through me before she does anything more than hold your hand and that's pushing it!" McGonagall screamed causing more than a few of even the seventh year boys to cower away from the protective lioness. The headmaster opened his mouth to say something as well when he was cut off by a furious pounding at the doors of the Great Hall that had been charmed unbreakable by the Headmaster quickly.
"Argh! These damn doors aren't budging. Erza? You're turn." A teenaged girls voice was heard through the doors as everyone stared at it and Ariannas head snapped up at the sound of the voice.
"Lucy?!" Arianna shouted through the doors at the sound of her older sisters voice while all noise on the other side of the door stopped.
"Her voice sounds like an angels." A womans voice was heard saying dreamily before there was a loud protective scream from the first girls voice as the doors were knocked clean off the wall.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER DAMNITT!" A furious blond seventeen year old girl yelled with her fist shaking from where she just sent a scarlet red haired nineteen year old woman flying through the doors.
"Lucy!" Arianna shouted happily as she tackled her older sister in a flying hug.
