Ch. 7
Ichigo watched the old man warily as he was staring at her intently, Ichigo was then asked about the incident with Ronald. Ichigo explained in short clear sentences and told him that Ronald had been the one to start the fight and she had just used self-defense when the boy tried to hit her, she then felt a slight tickling feeling in her head and snarled as she shoved the old man out of her mind and told him to back off as her thoughts were private and none of his business!
Dumbledore just smiled with a malicious twinkle in his eyes which Ichigo picked up and quickly went on guard as she quickly focused on creating a spell behind her using her wandless magic ability. Dumbledore then stood a fired a stunner that she reflected back at him and ran out the door as Dumbledore dropped to the ground from being hit with his own spell.
Ichigo headed to Professor McGonagall and told her what happened in the office, the professor was in shock and told her to head to her dorm room while she went and checked on Dumbledore. Ichigo nodded and headed to her dorm room when she heard a low growl and turned to find Ms. Norris behind her, she sighed and told the cat that she had been talking to the headmaster and was on her way back to the Dorm. Ms. Norris looked at surprised when Ichigo then smiled and placed a piece of jerky on the floor and left as she said "The jerky is for you…"
Ichigo then managed to get in to her dorm as Ulquiorra was about to leave out the window, Gin and Grimmjow swarmed her to make sure she was ok while Ulquiorra flew over and wrapped himself around her neck with a purr. Ichigo visibly relaxed once Ulquiorra started purring and reached up to scratch behind his horns, Gin and Grimmjow looked at each other then slipped out the door to go into the common room. Ulquiorra licked Ichigo's cheek as he softly asked "What happened in the headmaster's office to have you on edge?"
Ichigo told him and Ulquiorra started growling viciously at what nearly happened to her, he then told her that from now on that he would accompany her everywhere so the headmaster couldn't do anything to her. Ichigo smiled as she gently unwrap him from her neck and then hugged him as she sat on her bed, Ulquiorra snuggled into her embrace with a very loud purr as her fingers gently scratched his itchy scales on the part of his neck that he couldn't reach. Ichigo then sighed and said "I guess that means Grimmjow and Gin will be looking after my sisters, I don't trust that man to not go after my sisters…."
Two weeks later…
Ichigo walked into the DADA classroom before Jabba the Hutt and sat down in her usual seat in the back while Ulquiorra was curled around her neck with soft comforting purrs; the teacher then came in and did her usual spiel against half breeds and how dangerous they were. Ichigo then remembered something Draco had told her and looked at him for permission to reveal the secret, he nodded as Ichigo raised her hand and Jabba the Hutt asked "Yes, Miss Kurosaki?"
Ichigo tried hard not to smile gleefully as she said "Professor, were you aware that Draco Malfoy and his father are actually Veela Half breeds?"
Umbridge paled at that as she had not known that as Draco spoke up and said "So my father and me are dangerous half breeds, Professor? My father will be interested to hear about that as he makes me give him a rundown about what my classes are about."
The class could see Umbridge sweating as Draco looked at her with cold eyes while Ichigo had a tiny smirk on her face at showing the teacher up, Umbridge the told them to read the next chapter in their book while she went out to do something. Ichigo waited until the teacher left and sighed in relief as she looked at Draco and asked "So are you really going to tell your dad what she has been saying about most of the pureblood families who have creature blood?"
"Hell yes! That woman is a horrid teacher, she has no understanding of the text and she treats us like we're 6 instead of 15 year olds."
They then heard the teacher returning and quickly opened their books and started to read, Umbridge then came in and looked at the class as they pretended to read. She then sat at her desk and started reading the Daily Prophet. When class ended, Ichigo hurried from the room as Umbridge tried to catch her by the wrist. Ichigo scowled at her as she dodged and headed to her next class which was easily her favorite, she walked into the transfiguration classroom and Professor McGonagall smiled at her as Ichigo sat down. She was about to start the class when Ronald came running in causing her to scold him on being late again, he tried to blame Ichigo and his friends for his lateness but McGonagall told him not to lie and sit down.
He grumbled under his breath as he sat down when McGonagall shot him a glare then addressed the class "I have gotten permission for me to each of you, give a small sample Animagus potion so you can see what your Animagus form or forms might be."
The whole class cheered as she told them to meet her and Professor Snape in the outside the courtyard, Ichigo smiled as she had been about to take the potion before the whole thing with Yamamoto for her Final Transfiguration exam. She quickly grabbed her bag and followed the teacher to the field where she waited for Rukia, Chad and Renji to show up. Rukia was the first to show up with a crying Hermione, Ichigo asked what was wrong and Hermione told her that Ronald had once again insulted her and told she had no real friends at Hogwarts. Ichigo growled angrily then gently took Hermione's hand and said "Don't listen to that bully! Me and the other Transfers think of you already as a friend so who cares what he says?"
Hermione smiled through her tears as she wiped her eyes and told Ichigo "Thank you…"
Just then the rest of the class showed up and the professors walked to the front, carrying a large heavy case. Ichigo watched in amusement as McGonagall explained "To make the potion work properly, you must put at least three hairs in to the vial of potion. Now I will call you up in order so the rest of you can wait quietly for your turn!"
Ichigo watched as Chad, Rukia and Renji were called before her and had a good laugh at their animagus forms, Chad was a Huge Dire wolf, Rukia was a snow leopard and Renji turned out to be a Rock Basilisk. Ichigo was then called up and she handed Ulquiorra to Chad as she headed to the front, she had added exactly 6 hairs for max potency like her teacher had told her back in Japan. She looked at McGonagall who nodded with a smile and then tilted her head back as she swallowed the potion in one gulp, Ichigo felt the potion take effect as her body began to shift its shape into a more unfamiliar one.
Rukia, Renji and Chad watched in amusement as Ichigo shifted into the form of a pitch black Alicorn with silver horn and hooves. Her mane almost looked like it had silver specs and was blowing in a non existing wind as did her tuft of hair on the end of her tail; Ichigo whickered in surprise as her body then shifted again to a black and silver dragon at the size of a draft horse. Professor McGonagall praised her as the class clapped for her achievement while the potion wore off, Ichigo grinned as she walked back to the class, Chad then handed her Ulquiorra who quickly resumed his position around her neck with a comforting purr.
Meanwhile…
Dumbledore was plotting on how to control Ichigo as the girl was foiling him at every turn, the stupid brat had made sure her sisters were protected from him so he couldn't use them as Leverage and her friends were all very protective of each other and watched each other's backs. The corrupted old man sighed as he stood and looked out the window as he tried to think of something he hadn't tried yet.
October 19th…
Ichigo and the others were talking outside the great hall when they were interrupted by Filch putting up another decree from Umbridge, Ichigo and her fellow transfers wandered over and read the decree.
Decree 31
The high inquisitor has the ability to examine any teacher, fire any teacher and replace them with Ministry approved staff.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow at that then shrugged as she really didn't care at the moment, they then headed into the great hall for food when Dumbledore stood up and said "On October 31st, we will be having a costume ball and the theme is Muggle Fantasy and Supernatural. There will be Karaoke and of course, music! Attendance is mandatory!"
Everyone started talking excitedly as they started planning their costumes not knowing that Dumbledore had come up with a plan to gain control of Ichigo, The old man smiled with his malicious twinkle in his eyes making Snape wonder what he was up to….
Ulquiorra purred as Ichigo scratched behind his horns while she did her homework, he nuzzled her cheek as he wished that he could kiss her in human form. He sighed and wrapped his tail around her neck as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye as she said very softly "I wish you could spend time with me as a human too, Koi…"
Ulquiorra licked her cheek as he said "If it wasn't such a risk for me to return to Arrancar form, I'd do it in a heartbeat…My strawberry."
Ichigo blushed softly as he rubbed his head gently on her cheek when Hermione came over and asked if Ichigo could help with something she was having trouble with, in Ancient Runes. Ichigo nodded and Hermione ran to get her homework while Ichigo finished hers, Hermione soon came back and they sat done as Ichigo asked what she was having trouble with. Hermione showed her and Ichigo took a look as she quickly saw the problem, She then said as she pointed out to Hermione "Hermione-chan, look at the sentence of Runes right here closely and tell me what you see."
Hermione did as asked and then blushed as she realized she had forgotten to translate two small runes that were barely noticeable on the worksheet, she thanked Ichigo for showing her the problem then started to translate the runes. Ichigo then pulled out a paperback novel of The Mist and quickly began to read it, she settled down into a big cushiony armchair as Ulquiorra made himself at home in her lap and he began to purr. Ichigo reached down absentmindedly and gave him a good scratch between his wings while Grimmjow and Gin made themselves comfy at her feet, Hermione looked up and smiled as Ichigo lost herself in the world of Stephen King and relaxed.
The night of the dance…
Ichigo was scowling at her costume that her dad and Godfather had sent, she was dressed in a white gown that dipped to her ankles in the back and came up to just below her thighs. It had a pretty emerald sash that was the same shade as her real eye color and a pair of soft dancing slippers, the final touch to the backless dress was the large two white Angel wings on her back attached to two straps that were under a concealing charm. She then slipped on a white and gold mask for the final touch, she then headed down the stairs to head to the ball…
