A/N: before I begin this chapter I want to point out one thing that a guest reviewer assumed and some others may have as well. This is not a crossover in the sense of a traditional crossover .i did say I would put in references but thats it. Yes her family is that of Mokas from Rosario Vapire but thats to fall in line with the challenge requirements(my second thought was thoughts of AU version of Hellsing where Alucard was never under Integras command but that would of been too much work to set) and Ezra Vermillion was a random OC that popped into my head & an unintentional nod to Fairy Tail.

All that said, love all the attention this and my other works are getting from you beauiful wonderful readers. Let the show commence!


Lorelei hummed thoughtfully as she walked ahead of the boats. The gawking looks as she walk across the surface of the lake were amusing to her, a slightly humorous glint in her eyes showing. While the fact of walking on water was supposedly only done deities, something of a joke to her, she found the practice to be soothing; letting her mind wander while dancing, doing gymnastics or even practicing her katas was freeing on the micro-thin surface. Hopping onto the shore she turned on heel towards the boat and gave a sort of theatrical sweeping bow to the approaching boats.

Ezra palmed her face a little and muttered something to herself looking at her new friend. Showing off was well and good but to walk on water, something no wizard or witch had been able to replicate before, in front of their own age group? That was just a little too much in her opion. "You're showing off a little too much Lorelei" she said shooting a deadpan look at the other girl.

A cheeky smirk came to Loreleis lips as her friend finally exited the boat and she looped an arm around Ezras shoulders. "Ah but that is half the fun. Being able to make peoples jaws drop and boggle the mind about the impossibilities my family & I often practice for the express purpose of magical control is too... Oh whats the word I'm looking for?" For a moment the silvery white haired girl tapped her chin with her free hand as she and Ezra trailed behind the pack of students. "Comical fits but its not quite what I was looking for."

"Do I even want to know what you and your family do that you call 'impossibilities'? Or do I have to worry about having a heart problem?" Ezra asked glancing at Lorelei.

"Walking on water, seamless use of elemental magics without difficulty" Lorelei raised her free hand and conjured a flame on her fingertip with a snap of her fingers "and then some. Walking on water is fun but theres one thing I like better than that" she said with a cheshire cat like grin. "You want to know that is?" she asked with a teasing kind of sing song tone.

"As long as its not raising the dead for shites and giggles, sure. Messing with the dead is a black practice for a reason" Ezra said with a serious edge to her voice.

"Nothing like that. Kaa-san would have my hide if I did anything like that. Everyone knows that theres only two possible outcomes of trying to revive the dead. Number one you get those flesh hungry monsters called Inferi" Lorelei said with a grimace, the sing song tone vanishing instantly. "The body gets reanimated but the soul is not brought back and they become ravenous uncontrollabe monsters killable only with fire. Number two though the only place that I know they are around but rarely seen, you get ghouls. The body is reanimated and the soul is brought back but the passage of the soul from the realm of the dead back to its mortal vessel gets mangled. Instincts become more feral and only the person who revived the ghoul can control them. The only upside to having a ghoul be the result is that the trip back makes the body stronger so ghouls make for good security."

Ezra looked at her friend and wasn't sure if she should be worried she knew so much about a black practice like that or impressed. "If its not that then what are you talking about then what is it?" she asked.

Lorelei exstinguished the flame and the cheshire grin returned as she let go of Ezra. With another theatrical motion she made a hop into the air.

Ezra was about to ask what was so special about jumping until her eyes widened. Lorelei wasn't back on the ground but appeared to be floating in place.

"Why that my new dearest friend" Lorelei said as she began to walk keeping pace with Ezra and the other students who looked back with equally wide unbelieving eyes "is walking on air."


When the half-giant handed off the first years to a stern looking scottish witch Lorelei grinned at the gobsmacked expression on her face. Still walking on the invisible platform of air she was a sight to behold and she pondered for a moment just what the woman was thinking. Walking on air, much like walking on water, was considered to be impossible so she was certain the woman would have a stroke if she didn't speak soon. "Oh right, I should probably get back on the ground. Silly me" she said with a snort of laughter before dropping to the masonry.

The witch seemed to force a measure of composure though she would have to tell the headmaster later. "Welcome first years to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Deputy Headmistress and Transfiguration professor Minerva McGonagall but you will address me as Professor McGonagall. In a few moments times you will all be sorted into one of the schools houses, Gryffindor Hufflepuff Ravenclaw of Slytherin. Everything you do from this night forward shall reflect on your sorted house as well yourself, both your failings academic or conduct wise and your accomplishments in the same vein of thought. There are no doubt kany who will try to impress upon you that your sorted house, whichever it shall be, is the best of the four and that frollicking with certain other houses is essentially sin. I impress upon you to ignore such frivolous though. Your house and housemates are near as family that you have here & at the end of the day, no matter what house you are in we are members of one family here under the banner of Hogwarts" she said letting her gaze swim over the crowd. "If you have a problem of any sort, bring it up with your head of house and it will be dealt with in the promptest maner possible. Oh and one more thing" the elder witch had begun to walk away to the large door and over her shoulder "if you choose to buy into these petty rivalries between the houses and are caught in any manner of hazing, bullying or being the perpetrator of a violent act against another... Suffice it to say you will find out that there is a lot of merit to giving heed to the school motto."

Lorelei watched the woman leave into the hall behind the door humming thoughtfully to herself. She had expected more from the woman and found herself disappointed. All reports about Minerva McGonagall depicted a fierce woman yet she wasn't seeing it. Even a veiled threat to heed the school motto didn't amount to a hill of beans considering the stupidity of humans "Sad" she muttered to herself.

Ezra looked over to her friend tilting her head in confusion. "Whats sad Lorele?" she asked wondering just what the girl was thinking about.

"Minerva McGonagall fails to meet her preceded reputation. By all accounts of her teaching credentials and yearly reviews she is supposed to a fiercely outspoken woman befitting her status as the Gryffindor Head of House. All I see is a washed old kitten using threats befitting a Slytherin" Lorelei said bluntly as the group of students were retrieved and motioned to enter the hall.


For a while Ezra watched with a curious tilt of her head as students were called up to sorted by a hat of all things. Of course she realized after the first kid that it was enchanted in some way to judge the qualities they possessed but the question of how perplexed her. Her best guess was it jad to a combination of runic matrices to make a complex arithmetic spell focused on mind magic. Once the spell had judged what it saw the outcome was shouted out by the hat. That was her first thought until she heard it talking itself on some of the more trickier to sort students.

"The hat has limited sentience of its own" Lorelei said seeing the gears turning double time in Ezras mind. "My forefather Salazar described it in one of his journals as a mix of runic and soul magic being infused into the hat to make it able to judge your memories and best qualities to sort you into the right house."

Ezra frowned slightly at the explanation given to her. While runic magic was perfectly fine and wel,l soul magic was a black art. Or so it had been ruled by Albus Dumbledore in his reign as the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. "Whats to keep it from revealing what it learns from our minds to the Headmaster or anyone else? Family magics are taught to all heirs and heiresses from young ages & kept secret for a reason" she said with a slightly worried tone.

"Rowena Ravenclaw herself thought of that same problem only on a smaller scale since the Ministry of Magic was yet to a drop of ink on parchment. Much a mundane phone can record messages if you don't catch it in time, the hat cannot retain knowledge of a person after it has been taken off their head. She wrote the failsafe into the runic matrices herself with input from Salazar Slytherin himself who was a Master Class Warder and Rune Smith of the time" Lorelei said. "Remind me to bring the journal in and I'll show you after our first holiday break."

"Shuzen, Lorelei" Minerva said taking the sorting hat off a just sorted Ravenclaw boy.

Striding up to the stool Lorelei snapped her fingers summoning the hal before her without so much as a blink. For a moment she stared it down curiously as the cloth-like scrunched up at her. "You are a hideous looking thing aren't you? They've done a piss poor job taking care of you all these centuries Leonardo" she said holding the hat on both of her open palms.

The 'eyes' on the sortings hats 'face' scrunched up. "How do you know my name girl? None since the time of the Founders themselves have known what my name is" it said with a tone that demanded an answer.

Up at the staff table many of the professors were intrigued to say the least. Wandless magic was hard for most wizards and witches that were decades older than this yet to be sorted first year girl but there she was summoning the sorting hat wandlessly with a snap of her fingers like it was an everyday occurence. Out of all the teachers the most interested were the arithmancy, charms and runes professores. While Filius Flitwick may teach general charms, his time as a champion duelist gave him the sense this Shuzen girl was dangerous. The other two professors, both relatively young women, shared a look and nodded silently to other. While many wouldn't see them their were runes imprinted into the girls skin though their purpose was unknown.

"Take a seat and find out but I warn you that you may find yourself shocked" Lorelei said as she placed the hat on her head and sat on the stool. For nearly ten ling agonizing minutes the hat was silent yet under the brim of the hat, she was thankful the excess material hid her fanged smirk, the hat sputtered incomplete thoughts and sentences insids her head.

"GRYFFINDOR! HUFFLEPUFF! SLYTHERIN! RAVENCLAW!" the hat shouted out at last. At the declaration the hall fell silent.

"Now now Leonardo, you know where I want to go. Lets call it a cunning move" Lorelei said looking up to the brim with an acidic moment she said it the trim of her robes turned green and silver. "Good boy, I enjoyed our chat but I must say one thing to you." Using her authority as Lady of the castle she imprinted the order to send Ezra to Slytherin with her upon the sorting hat. Taking the hat off she handed it back to Minerva with a look that dared her to say something before striding toward the Slytherin table where many welcomed her with shock and awe.

By the time they reached the bottom of the list Ezra felt the weight of the entire halls gaze on her. Spotting familiar purple give her an encouraging look she took the hat and put it on her head. Barely a minute passed before it called out Slytherin decorating her robes trim in green and silver. Polite applause led her to the table where Lorelei shoved a kid over and motioned her to sit.

"Nkw that you all have a new house to call home I must give a few announcements. First of all.."

Lorelei tuned out the Headmaster as she turned her gaze to a particularly greasy looking haired staff member and shot him a sly look. She noticed him pale a tiny bit, not enough to be noticed but just enojgh for her to see it, and that made her smirk a little. Good, the pet still knew its proper place.

"With that all said, there is one one last order of business which bears immediate need for confirmafion. It has come to my attention through means from the new first years there is one who claims Headship of the Slytherin bloodline" Dumbledore said looking over the hall. "I am asking this person-"

Lorelei contemplated for a moment standing and challenging Dumbledore in front of everyone to demand what he wanted to know but decided against it. Even with her skills and protective failsafes that was suicide at this moment in time.

"-to meet me and Professor Snape, the Slytherin Head of House, in my office to validate such claims as it one that has heavy consequences for false claims."

Ezra looked over at Lorelei who snorted to herself. Just what was her friend thinking? She knew of Loreleis status anc if others did she didn't know who they were. "Pardon me Headmaster and forgive my interruptions but how would such validation be proven truth?" she asked raising a hand and speaking up.

"Proof of family magics, possession of the family Head ring, summoning the family totem or other undeniable proof of being not just descended of Salazar Slytherin himself but the family Head" Dumbledore said .

Ezra looked again at Lorelei and instead of paying attention to the old man she was filing her nails like she hadn't a care in the world. If anything was to come out the next seven years, it was certainly not going to be dull.


After the feast came and went Lorelei remained seated as every other student was beginning to rise to sing the school song. Not only was the mass of horrible singers and multitudes of different paces horrible, it made her wanto puncture her own ear drums to not hear it. "Save me a bed in the dorms. Girls are paired two a dorm and I don't feel like bunking with a flunky when I got you" she said looking at Ezra.

"Bestill my beating heart, I do believe I feel faint" Ezra said rolling her eyes dramatically. "You certainly know how to make a girl feel special don't you Lorelei? Do me a favor and try not to kill the Headmaster. The last thing we need is you killing him in shock on the first night here."

Lorelei was tempted ro say couldn't do that because that was exactly what she wanted to do and instead shrugged her shoulders in a noncommittal way. "Oh headmaster, Professor Snape" she said approaching the staff table.

Dumbledore looked upon the girl curiously and gave a genial grandfatherly smile. "Can we help you Ms. Shuzen?" he asked.

Lorelei held out her arm and spoke three words that made both Dumbledorr and Snape go pale as a ghost. "Totems Familia Revelare." Raising one arm parallel to herself a green snake materialized and wrapped around the arm hissing at the men. From the ground a small hole opened up and a yellow badger appeared wiping at its 'fur'.

Dumbledore felt a cold shiver run down his spine. No, this could not be happeneing.

Lorelei extended her other arm as a bronze colored magical representation of a Raven landed, blue eyes glaring at the ancient beared wizard. "Oh, last but not least" she said with a smile with a smile as a waver of her hand dismissed the raven, badger and snake. In their place beside her was proud lioness made of reddish-gold magic. "Its Lady Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore. Be careful to toe the line of what you are by the ministry to do and we'll have no problems. The first time you step out of line and endanger a single student of any of MY houses even one harebrained sruntI will eject you from these wards so fast you will not remember where to find this place or that it even exists. Now Professor Snape, could you be kind enough to lead me back to the common room since the esteemed headmaster had the lack of foresight to tell a prefect to stay to back the Slytherin bloodline Head?" she asked with a far too sweet smile. As she walked away with Snape he looked over her shoulder and smirked at the pale skinned Dumbledore. "Oh and one last thing, if you tell anyone about what you just heard or saw I will not just eject you from my castle, I will do so declaring you an enemy and threat to the student body. That means you will have your magic stripped by force and it will most likely kill you at your age as the wards toss you out and remove all information about the school from your mind."


Ezra was in the middle of unpacking her trunk when she heard a cough behind her. Turning her head saw Lorelei grinning madly like the cat that caught the canary. "Is he dead or did you leave him alive?" she asked without preface.

"Oh hes alive but I scared the daylights out of him. It was fun actually, more so than expected. He was so pale he made the ghosts look alive and tan" Lorelei said plopping down on the bed away from the door. With a series of gesture like handseals and a motion of her hand like she aas cutting open the air in front of her she reached forward pulling her trunk and Archimedes carrier from thin air.

Ezra watched fascinated at the display and nearly went bug eyed seeing the trunk & cat carrier appeared in Loreleis hands from thin air. She remembered the other girl mentioning not needing to rely on physical space and the curiosity she felt earlier but seeing it was completely different. "You mind if I ask you a personal question Lorelei?" she asked pulling out some photos of her family and set them on her beside table.

"As long as it doesn't involve asking what my measurements are by all means" Lorelei said with a teasing tone of voice and cheeky playful wink.

"No-nothing like that" Ezra said protesting with a slight blush. "We're too young to even be really think about dating anyone anyways." She looked away for a moment to recompose herself before her question. "I didn't give it mucb thought on the train but your last name is Shuzen, you wouldn't happen to be..."

"Guilty as sin" Lorelei said rolling her wrist in its socket. Drawing her wand she flicked it at the door erecting privacy and anti-eavesdropping wards. "I am a daughter of the Shuzen family, Japans Royal Family of Vampires. The fourth of five to be precise. Does my being a vampire scare you Ezra?" she asked.

"No it doesn't. If you had intended me harm I know you would have done so by now and I would have been powerless to stop you. I don't believe the rhetoric that all creatures are mindless nuisances or that, no offense Lorelei, creatures like vampires & werewolves are dark types that need to be killed. Every species has it bad apples, humans included" Ezra said looking back to Lorelei.

The siver white haired girl pondered the tone Ezra used before shooting a soft mile to her. "Thanks for that. I've had some pretty bad experiences before and I didn't want my first friend outside my sisters to be afraid of me for what I am." Leaving her trunk on the bed and unlocking Archimedes carrier Lorelei crossed to Ezras bed and hugged her tight for a moment, mindful of her vampiric strength of course so not to injure her friend, before letting go as she kissed the other girls cheek. "I've had problems believing good humans exist out in the wider world like my mother claimed but I know, call me crazy but I know I can trust you; my gut instinct hasn't steered me wrong yet."

Ezra blushed again feeling her cheek be kissed by Lorelei but hugged the other girl back. "You helped me out against those asses. Being a good friend is the least I could ever do" she said poking the female vampire lightly. From there a sort of tickle fight erupted and before long both girls found themselves beat. Yawning Ezra curled up slightly and was surprised to feel Lorelei draw her in close.

Lorelei smiled a tiny bit sleepily feeling Ezra press close like the slight cold of her skin seemed to make the girl comfortable. With one arm around her friend and the other carding through her hair it didn't take too long for the soft breaths to be slow & steady telling her Ezra was asleep. She knew she should try to get back to her bed but the grasp the other girl had on her robe kept her in place. Tossing the idea away she nestled close and wrapped her arm that had been carding through Ezras hair around her so she could be more comfortable.

Archimedes let out a meow seeing the two girls so close and jumped onto the other bed to investigate. Seeing his friend asleep against the other girl and holding said girl he a contentment in his chest as he purred licking their faces once each. For her to have a friend besides him was important to him. She deserved all the happiness in the world from his perspective. Curling up beside them he went to sleep dreaming of the future that awaited his friend.
