Gotham Streets
Ches wasn't angry, he wasn't even pissed. No Ches was FURIOUS. How could that scum claim they were doing it for his safety. Ches teleported to the top of a nearby building and with a loud yell started searching for someone to beat up. after a few minutes of searching Cheshire found someone being mugged and decided to have some fun.
With a loud crack and a burst of smoke he teleported right behind the mugger and gave him a swift kick between the legs. He dropped like a rock.
"Y-your th-the Cheshire C-Cat wh-why did y-you help me" the woman being mugged asked.
Cheshire ignored her and grabbed the mugger teleporting them both to the top of the building he was just on.
"Get up" Cheshire growled kicking him in the ribs.
The man cried in pain but slowly pulled himself to his feet. The mugger pulled back his fist to try and punch the boy only for Cheshire to step past the punch and kick one on his knees breaking it.
"Aaaagggghhhh you bastard" the man screamed falling to the ground again. Cheshire smirked sadistically as he repeatedly started to kick the man everywhere he could.
Cheshire would have kept beating the man but he was suddenly tackled form behind. As he rolled over he saw Batgirl standing over him. Although her face was hidden and she didn't say anything Cheshire knew she was angry.
"What do you want?" Cheshire snarled.
Batgirl took half a step back as if his words had physically hurt her but she then pointed at the mugger's whimpering body.
"He deserved it" Cheshire spat.
Batgirl raised her hand as if to punch him before stopping and pointing again at the mugger.
"What no way" Cheshire yelled only for Batgirl to put her hands on her hips and stand there expectantly.
Cheshire sighed "fine." With a loud crack he teleported over to the mugger and with another he was in the local hospital. Without saying anything he dropped the mugger and teleported back to Batgirl. "There happy now?" he growled.
Batgirl nodded and somehow Cheshire knew she was smirking under her mask.
Cheshire sighed and fell to the ground his costume melting away and his normal appearance showed. Batgirl tilted her head to the side before pointing at Ches and then pointing at her mouth.
"No grin? Ches asked. Batgirl nodded. "Don't want to talk about it." Batgirl just stood there waiting.
"Damn pushy woman" Ches muttered getting a whack in the arm from Batgirl. "Fine i'll talk" he growled.
"My biological parents showed up today" Ches growled causing Batgirl to fall over in shock.
Ches smirked "yup and guess what apparently they sent me to the Dursleys for my protection" he spat.
Before Ches could react he was enveloped in a hug from Batgirl. "Thanks" Ches muttered hugging her back.
...
Ivy's Greenhouse
Ches and Batgirl teleported into the greenhouse the next morning after a long night of talking. They were both surprised to hear muffled sobs coming from the back room. carefully the two made their way to the back where they heard voices.
".. but Harley what if you're wrong?" came Ivy's voice.
"Red we both know he wouldn't do that" Harley replied soothingly.
"But what if he does?" Ivy asked "What of he goes back to those horrible people and doesn't want to be my son anymore?" she cried.
Ches felt as if his heart was breaking. He couldn't believe that he was causing his mom so much pain and was ashamed of himself. quietly and nervously Ches walked into the backroom Batgirl following behind him. What he saw was horrible. He saw Ivy curled up in a ball crying with harley holding her trying to comfort her. "hi" Ches mumbled quietly.
Ivy and Harley jumped as he said that but a second later Ches was tackled to the floor as Ivy hugged him and cried.
"I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly" Ches mumbled hugging is mom.
"I-I was w-worried th-that y-you wouldn't c-come back. Th-that you'd w-want to g-go live with th-them instead" Ivy sobbed.
Ches held Ivy tight as he started to cry as well "s-sorry mom I-i di-didn't mean to m-make you w-worry."
Ivy pulled herself together enough to glare at him "f-for m-making me w-worry you a-are grounded until college" she told him.
Ches smiled weakly at her "but i'm not going to college."
"Then you're grounded permanently" she said sternly.
"..and no more dates with Batgirl either" Harley piped up causing Ches to blush.
"We're just friends" he shouted causing Ivy and Harley to laugh.
Ivy got up and walked over to Batgirl "thanks for looking after my son" she said hugging the girl.
It was clear Batgirl felt awkward as she was hugged by Ivy but she hugged the woman back.
"I still find it funny" Harley said "little Ches's best friend is a crime fighter" Harley paused for a second and an evil smirk covered her face "so what were you two doing all night?" she asked making both of the pre-teens blush.
Ches was going to yell at her for suggesting that when there was a loud knock on the door. Everyone went silent.
Harley growled and pushed past everyone heading to the entrance.
"What do you want?" Harley snarled to the Potters.
"Is Harry here?" Rose asked.
"My name is Cheshire not Harry" Ches informed his sister.
Rose ran over and hugged her brother while her parents watched on wary "Hi Ches" she said happily.
"You look different" James said.
"I can change how I look" Ches growled "Is that why you gave me up because you think i'm a freak?" Batgirl put a hand on his shoulder calming him down.
"N-no your not a f-freak we did it to protect you" Lily said.
Ivy and Batgirl both stomped forward and slapped Lily. "You call that type of treatment protection?" Ivy asked both her and Batgirl radiating anger.
"It-it was a mistake" Lily said weakly.
"Obviously" Harley said smirking.
"Why are you here now and how did you find me?" Ches asked.
"W-well you see har-Cheshire the thing is you're a wizard" James announced nervously.
"So?"
"What do you mean so?" James asked surprised.
Ches rolled his eyes "I can change how I look and teleport" he explained to the moron.
"Oh right" James muttered blushing "well there is a place called Hogwarts where you can learn to do magic."
"i'm not intere..." Ches began/
"Set up a meeting with the head of the school and we will discuss it" Ivy interrupted.
"But mom" Ches whined.
"But nothing" Ivy said sternly "you have a chance to learn what none of us Rogues can teach you. We will be hearing the head of the school out at the very least."
"Fine" Ches groaned and though no sound was made he knew Batgirl was snickering at him.
"A meeting will not be needed as I am already here" came a voice as an old man stepped out of thin air.
"It's Gandalf" Harley screamed.
"Who are you and what are you doing here old man?" Ivy growled out.
"I am professor Dumbledore headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry" the old man said his eyes twinkling creepily.
"What's the difference?" Ches asked.
"I'm sorry?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"What's the difference between witchcraft and wizardry?"
"Well one is done by witches and one is done by wizards" Dumbledore explained.
Ches, Batgirl, Ivy and harley frowned at that "so you're a school of sexists" Ches asked.
"Of course not" Lily shouted.
"Then why make a distinction between what a male does and a female does?" Ivy asked angrily.
"W-well b-be-because it-it..." Lily trailed off.
"What sort of classes are there?" Ivy asked.
"Well we teach Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, astronomy and History of magic to all of the years and when you reach third year students can choose their electives which consist of Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggles studies and Divination" Dumbledore informed them.
Ivy raised an eye at that "what about math? science? Geography? English?"
"We do not see a reason to teach those classes" Dumbledore told them his eyes still twinkling.
Batgirl tapped Ches on the shoulder and mimed something to him "what about physical activities?" he asked for her.
"Well there's Quidditch" James said brightening up.
"What's Quidditch?" Harley asked curious.
"It's a sport you play on brooms hundreds of feet in the air" James said excitedly "there are seven people to a team and four teams in the school it is great" he said beaming.
"and how many people in the school?" Harley asked.
"It changes but usually around five hundred people" Lily informed them.
"So out of five hundred people only twenty eight are allowed to do a sport and that sport is done hundreds of feet in the air where they might fall and injure themselves?" Ivy asked frostily.
"Well the children can start up a game of football if they desire to" Dumbledore said a little worried.
"Fair enough" Ivy said "and how often are parent/teacher days?"
"Parent what days?" james asked stupidly.
"You know days where the parents and teachers meet up to discuss how the student is doing and how they could improve on their work?" Harley asked.
"I'm afraid Hogwarts doesn't have anything like that" replied Dumbledore.
"So you have a school with a pathetic amount of courses, a sport that few are allowed to play and would most likely amount in injury if it even rained, no parent/teacher interviews and is sexist" Harley announced smirking.
"I'll have you know that Hogwarts is the finest magical school in the worked" Dumbledore said proudly.
"Do you wish to know what I have learnt by not going to your pathetic school?" Ches asked. "I have learnt several languages, I can make many different mechanical tools, I can crossbreed plants to get singing daisy's and i can make laughing gas. this is what I have learnt by not going to your pathetic school" Ches sneered. Batgirl nodded her head in agreement she thinks the school is stupid as well.
"What if we allow you to get your own tutors?" Dumbledore asked desperately.
Ches smirked evilly "I would have free reign to enter, leave and bring anyone I wan in?" he asked.
"Within reason my dear boy" Dumbledore said.
Ches turned to Ivy and by the look of it she knew what he was thinking "what do you say mother?"
"We're in" she announced.
That day everyone in magical britain felt a chill run down their back and Sybil Trelawney started announcing how the end was near.
