Chapter 7~

'Shoomf'

A figure appeared in front of a shelf holding hundreds if not thousands of glowing crystal orbs.

"Yes it is here, exactly what Aizen-sama wants…..if I could just touch it."

"RUKIA!" Ichigo yelled to injured to move

"Stupefy!" yelled Harry and Ron together. Two red blasts hit Grimmjow straight in the chest. He staggered backwards slightly and let go of Rukias' head but was otherwise unfazed.

"I dunno what that was, but did you really think it was powerful enough to kill me? HA!" said Grimmjow with an evil smirk lifting his sword.

Harry and Ron readied their wands, ready for whatever was coming. "Ron we'll have to double-team him; hit him with two spells at once." Harry whispered so only they could hear. Ron nodded in agreement. They raised their wands as Grimmjow started to advance slowly at first, then he suddenly disappeared from view. Before they had time to react he reappeared next to Ron and slashed violently upward. Ron crumpled to the ground.

"RON!" yelled Harry running towards him as fast as he could. Blood was gushing quickly out of Rons' wound. Harry wished desperately that he had learned a healing spell to help his friend.

"NOT MY SON YOU BASTARD!" bellowed Mrs. Weasley charging toward Grimmjow. She pushed Harry out of her way and raised her wand raised menacingly.

Grimmjow laughed but most certainly not prepared for what was about to come his way. Mrs. Weasley twirled her wand and fired a spell unknown to Harry toward her opponent. She continued this different colors light flying from her wand at top speed. Even with his beyond human capabilities speed Grimmjow was having a somewhat hard time avoiding all of the curses that were flying by.

'It's time to end this.' He began to charge up his most powerful attack Gran Rey Cero. He stretched out his hand and the blue light started to form in him hand. Mr. Weasley raised her wand ready to fend off whatever this new attack was. Just as the attack was ready to be fired; a pale hand caught Grimmjows' wrist, immediately the attack was cancelled.

"Ulquiorra." said Grimmjow with a snarl.

"It's been found, mission accomplished" said an emotionless voice "Let's go."

A slit opened in the sky showing a large black hole, a light came down and surrounded the two Espada.

Before the slit closed encasing the Espada; Ulquiorra said to Ichigo: 'I see you have a new power. But it will do you no good Aizen- sama has what he wants now, the sun has already set in our hands."

Somewhere in between Karakura Town and Soul Society

Inoue Orihime stood consumed by the words just spoken to her 'you will come with me, this is an order. Aizen-sama desires your abilities… Put on this bracelet you have twelve hours.

"Oh, Ronnie" said Mrs. Weasley as she knelt beside her son.

"I was able to stop most of the bleeding with kidou…" said Rukia softly "He'll have to rest for several days."

Lupin and Mr. Weasley carried the unconscious Ichigo and Ron inside.

Ron was placed on his bed in the room Harry and he were sharing. Ichigo was given his own room on the third landing. That night Rukia snuck into his room to make sure he was okay. As she watched him she recounted what had happened earlier. She thought of the strange mask and what Ulquiorra had said to them.

'Just what power are you trying to obtain…Ichigo?'

~~X~~

"That was bloody brilliant yesterday!" said Fred to Ichigo.

"How'd you do all that?" continued George.

Ichigo rubbed the back of his head "Uhhhh…" He had barely managed to make down to breakfast that morning his wrist along with the rest of his body was killing him. Ichigo had actually fallen out of bed this morning thus making his entire body hurt worse. But nothing bothered him more than his lack of ability to protect Ron; who was still asleep, heavily bandaged but expected to fully recover. Before he was able to fully reply to the twins the girl with bushy brown hair, Hermione was it?, burst into the kitchen and said: "look at this!" slamming the paper down on the table in front of Harry. The front cover contained a fairly large of Harry, Rukia, Ichigo, and Dumbledore standing outside of the dungeon where the hearing was held. Seeing the picture Harry slid the paper away towards Ichigo, too disgusted to read it. Ichigo picked it up; the headline read:

NON-WIZARDS INVITED TO HOGWARTS

Mid-morning yesterday the disciplinary hearing of Harry Potter was interrupted when two people charged into the courtroom claiming that they were from 'another world' so to speak, they called themselves Soul Reapers. Apparently they say that our magic power comes from the same power source as theirs called 'spiritual pressure.' Once again Harry Potter claimed that Voldemort has returned; this unnecessary topic as brought about by the mention on the so-called Soul Reapers enemy Aizen. We have no proof that either of these men poses a threat to our society. After the hearing was dismissed Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster at Hogwarts, came up to them and invited them to come for the next term. Percy Weasley was quoted saying: "Personally I think that they were both mental, how could the Ministry of Magic not know of their existence. It's preposterous! And for Dumbledore to invite them to Hogwarts besides!"- -

'Fantastic….' He thought the scowl on his face deepening. Ichigo couldn't read anymore. The papers here sucked even more than they did at home. When Mrs. Weasley read the article she decided to lighten the mood a bit.

"I was going to head to Diagon Alley today to pick everyone's books. Ichigo Rukia would you like to help me? You can get more acquainted with our customs and you need your supplies as school starts tomorrow….and I need to get Ron a present he was made Prefect you know." she said with a huge grin on her face

Rukia said "That'd be great Mrs. Weasley!" then glanced at Ichigo "But his injuries…"

Ichigo stood up "I'll be fine. When do we leave?"

~~X~~

The two Shinigami couldn't believe their eyes. The place they had just entered could not be real. It was a colorful street packed with people and various shops; everything from an apothecary to a wand shop.

'I must be dreaming' thought Rukia.

"Okay you two I think we'll hit Olivanders first and get you both wands."

They entered the small dark shop and an ancient looking man appeared from the back. He looked Ichigo and Rukia up and down almost as if he was x-raying them. He took out a measuring tape and measured them in several awkward places you wouldn't expect to ever get measured.

"You can go first." he said to Rukia. She nervously walked up as he went to get a wand for her to try. While he was searching for one that he thought would choose Rukia.

She quickly muttered to "What do I do?"

"Simply wave it. You'll know from there."

Mr. Ollivander came back holding several long slender dark boxes. He pulled out the first wand. "Here try this. Oak ten inches, hippogriff talon, great for Charms." Rukia took hold of the wand and gave it a wave. 'Crash!' All the contents of Ollivanders desk flew off. Rukia blushed violently and put the wand down on the now cleared desk.

"I don't think that's right."

"Yes, here try this one." After several more tries Rukia finally got it right. She picked it and instead of the usual warm feeling she felt a cold chill go through her body she knew she had the right one.

"This is the one." she said

"Ah. Good choice eight inches, yew, unicorn hair."

"Alright, you're next" he said to Ichigo. Ollivander went to put away Rukias' rejects and to get Ichigo some wands to try. Ichigo tried several wands causing more damage to the small shop. Around his fourth or fifth try he picked up a wand, he knew it was the right wand but his thoughts were interrupted:

"Ichigo… we share this power too." The voice broke into maniacal laughter.

'Shut up!' yelled Ichigo silently; resisting putting his hand up to his face. Sensing that something was wrong Rukia opened her mouth to ask if he was okay.

"I'm fine. Don't bother me about it."

"Yeah this is it" Ichigo said to Ollivander.

"Yes very well, red oak dragon heartstring fifteen inches, great for defense."

They paid for their purchases and left the shop. They went down the supplies list and purchased all they needed for the coming year. The only shop Ichigo didn't like was Madame Matkins. He was poked and prodded and the result was robes he absolutely detested. They were super baggy; he personally preferred his clothes to be a little tighter. Rukia told him that they were just like his Shinigami robes. He disagreed. For some reason Mrs. Weasley bought Ron a broom… 'These people are strange and that's saying something.' He was thinking of the various characters he had met in Soul Society.

They arrived back at Headquarters some time later laden with their days purchases. A party was held that in honor of Hermione and Ron's being made Prefect. The party was a cheerful food; the Shinigami discovered Mrs. Weasley was an excellent cook ate quiet a lot. Ron would rant to anyone who would listen about his new broom by rattling off facts and praises from a magazine he had been reading.

On their way to bed Rukias' phone when off and she answered:

"Hai?" A few minutes pause.

"What? That's impossible. Yes I understand." She turned and looked at Ichigo.

"Ichigo, Inoue has defected to Aizens' side."

His eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"We're leaving." He said firmly "We have to rescue her, she couldn't have defected she must have been kidnapped or something."

"We have no proof of that Ichigo. And we can't leave you know that our current mission is to stay here and find more out about this people."

Ichigo looked down in defeat. He would save her one way or another.
