Author's Announcement:
Chapter Nine of the Pinkie Story guys, and I got to say it will be somewhat interesting as in the next chapter is indeed the first task. But I decided to make a cliffhanger (sorry spoil) for it. So in basic terms for my Own OC Aeroza, with permission of my Co-Author PSSD18 (Originally PSSD), to be able to use some content from my stories as well into this story. But I probably won't implement it till after the end of her fourth year. So expect some surprises along the way as he might finally establish what bonds Harley might have as when she does get from having eye-to-eye contact with the girls, he will run a quick yet efficient scan as he tells her who her true mates are, or a sibling bond by magic is. As well as a few other things as well, since he is like my other three stories. So don't be surprised by incoming students later on within this story. I am also including a meeting between Fox and Stag with a few others as they are now betraying the current world-based group of the tainted 13. Which in turn is actually lead by a Shadowlord, but to which number I think you will be surprised later down the road.
I would also like to mention I will be mentioning some more things about Aeroza within the chapter in the story unknowingly, as well as a future spoil planned later on in the Jade Story (if I get a chance to work on it with some ideas, as I plan on re-working on that with two chapters as well). So in turn, this story is ahead of the other three, well ahead of Jades timeline yet near both Lucy and Rosalina's. I will also be adding a minor character to Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days, but who is a mystery as you may also have to read the chapter, as this is also an alt universe as well for the person. Yet said a person would be surprised she doesn't exist at all in this worldly universe in real life that is, unlike said person did in the other known one the person is from, Jade Chan's that is.
Also for those as to wondering where is Petunia Dursley in all of this, you will find out either the next chapter, or chapter eleven as well.
Like I posted at the end of chapter ten of "Ranamon's Little Girl", any reviews or comments would be nice about my stories as well as OC suggestions. So expect the intro from this current story for future readers to change briefly. But it will be the same story still. I plan on making more time with Harley as her sister, Pinkie of course gets a note from Aeroza as well as her and those she considered her current mates right now, to come with him somewhere in a possible future chapter, maybe said world during the summer b4 5th year? So it would be in Normal POV at the beginning part of this chapter as it would feature Aeroza and then three certain others as they will be at another location by unlocking another of their brethren, as well as normal still in the Great Hall later on. Then it would be Rosalina's POV entirely, unless it is necessary to change her POV to normal or someone else when the time is right. OF course, I'm skipping the training as they only did so for at least 3 hours earlier than expected, so some explanations would be made within the beginning as to how good they did. So expect some flashbacks.
Bellatrix Black: So to let this female fans know, she is indeed better and not insane like she is in the franchise, yet also deals things her own way. She is a gray magic user and believer of course. Yet she will show up in chapter ten of course, as I have an idea as to pair her up with in future chapters as she is in secret, gay.
I would also like to state that from my permission to add other franchise into this fiction story, it will be mostly My Little Pony/Equestrian Girls X Harry Potter Crossover, but it will be mixed with minor elements from other franchise to which I would like to add, I do not own as well. So there will be no world traveling till later on in or near the ending. But I might add at least one world traveled during the summer, and it wouldn't be a surprise as to what world this would be as I used the same world in two of my stories. Also for a future spoiler, to which I don't tend to give out early on, there will be a reason that two specific girls in Harley's soul-bond mate category areas such as well as the other girls as being soul bounded doesn't exactly mean a true one, but might also be a sister or friend/guardian bond as well.
Also you may see hints of other series or franchises in minor content in most chapters till then, as you all know Aeroza is a person who is ten times the power of a god of any sort, so he can basically do anything he wants within reason.
I do not own anything I mention or people, places, or things from the franchises I tend to use in my stories, except my own OC's, submitting user submitted OC's, or plots within the story itself. If I did, then not only the cake wouldn't be a lie, but Vegeta wouldn't be a coward to summon back his home planet (Idea from a fanfiction story I read but forgot the name of the said story, only knows it involves the DB: GT Franchise).

So let's resume…
(Modified: 10/31/2018)
Normal POV, Hogwarts School, Aeroza's Classroom early in the morning:
Aeroza sighed to himself as he just came from the school grounds; a smirk still on his face as he tricked the other girls into training, yet the man also woke them up earlier so they could get used to it; around three in the morning, as it is now six 'o'clock at the moment.
To his minor surprise, they did well partially for the first time yet he agreed as it was the first time doing so as such the way he worked them to the ground, so to speak, he went easy on them.
Of course, before he came back, he was asked to his minor surprise, Harley Lana-Luan Potter, as she wanted to know more about her bonds as well... or if he can scan her to make sure if they are true ones or not. The conversation Aeroza thought quickly to himself with a gentle smirk on his features, after now sitting in his changed chair he loves now within the classroom, recalled it very clearly. he also had to deal with one other student as well afterward.
(Flashback Begins)
Aeroza was about to head to his classroom to relax as later on he might have a small chat with the two females since the others decided to wash-up or clean-charmed themselves after the brutal or to his terms to their annoyance, easy training. Harley came up to him since her sister understood as well as giving Harley a curious look as to why, but went along with the others back to their dorms or chambers.
Harley for some strange reason, was healing rather fast then they were in terms; despite her body being very sore from the extreme workout he tricked them into doing. Yet this was making her ask him about it later within her mind as Harley has also been having these new yet uncertain thoughts she has been having off and on, for the past few days.
Aeroza saw Harley only head motioned now to him to a shaded tree nearby as for some reason, the sun was just starting to come out, and he just only nodded a single time with understanding in his orbs. The man was clearly sensing mostly doubt now in minor waves from the younger teen's own magic, as the two then headed over to said tree as they sat on the cool grass now. Before he could ask Harley as to why she wanted to speak to him, clearly he could see some exhaustion on her face and also body as clear as day, as Harley now spoke rather quickly then to him, "Canyouscanme?"
Aeroza looked at her carefully then as he then asked her firmly yet also in kindness as well, crossing his arms while doing so as he was also leaning onto the bark of the tree; an Elm or Birch if he had to guess, "Can you slowly repeat that, Miss Potter?" Harley looked at him with minor exasperation to this yet complied after also taking a single deep breath before doing so, making his eyes go wide at her sudden question since she as well, was now leaning against the same tree he was on lazily, "Can you please scan me?" Aeroza now furrowed his brows in minor thought as he also now looked into Harley's eyes, seeing doubt still in them yet also minor hope.
Aeroza then carefully asked Harley, as she was giving him full-on attention at the moment, "Two things I am about to ask you Harley. One: How did you find out I can easily scan others, and Two: Why do you want me to do so since I can clearly see, you are having doubts about something?"
Harley, he noticed to his minor amusement, was now sheepish yet he could still feel the doubt on her in minor waves still.
Harley then began to rub her head to his amusement like a certain granddaughter he knows, as she then replied in honesty, yet not looking at him at the same time in the eyes; with her head now lowered slightly to not see her face, "I just guessed since I heard from Professor Flitwick in Charms Class the other day, there was a spell to do so, and I… been feeling like I'm doubting myself over some things as I have been getting nightmares." He now raised a single eyebrow as he silently motioned for her to go on, as his eyes then looked to Harley then in both sympathy and understanding as she then also stated to him, looking right at the man carefully as well. "I don't want to tell you about my dreams, yet my doubts are my bonds with my mates… I felt like some of them may be true ones yet others only temporary for some strange reason."
Aeroza shook his head sagely to her in response at this point as he then also smiled softly at the teen girl, and he then spoke calmly yet gentle words in response, making Harley seemed surprised now as if he wouldn't really do it at all; with him also chuckling firstly before speaking of course. "Of course I can do this for you Miss Potter, Harley, as I believe it or not I can truly tell about the bonds of others then just mere paper." He looked to her in a firm yet serious mixed kind of look on his features as he now also asked her carefully, "Do you truly want me to truly scan you, Harley, even if you will feel somehow... strange afterward?"
Harley seemed to be thinking to herself in a minor debate within her mind as Aeroza could clearly tell before looking to have made a decision. She then slowly nodded a yes to him, making him close his eyes as well as then sigh briefly. He then motioned to her to stand up, to which she did with his help as he then gave Harley a firm yet understanding look with him as he now began stating carefully to her at the same time, "If this is what you truly want Miss Potter, then I will do so. But know this: the spell you may have read from isn't the one I will be using; As that one tends to only give minor information. My scan-based spell I will be using will be showing myself the results as I will then conjure the results then unto a blank parchment to show you." He only got a nod in response to his words as she to his inward pride, understood the consequences now yet also wanted to see it straight through or head on. Aeroza then changed a random twig into a wooden chair to her sudden confusion as he now motioned for her to sit on said seat, to which she did, and he then gently patted her on the back.
Aeroza then asked her one final time as if to see if Harley wanted to back out of it, looking at her carefully while doing so as he began to channel some of his magic into his other hand slowly. "Are you certain you want to know Harley?" She now looked to be hesitant yet a small fire burned within her orbs as she then firmly shook her head without words, a yes at him.
Aeroza only nodded back to Harley with a small gentle smile in return, as he then stated to the teen, moving to the front of her as well as backing up a few steps or so as he did, "Alright, then I shall begin. You may notice however, "he began to finally tell her as Harley grew somewhat nervous once again of his magic being channeled into that black glove of his since it was also a glowing pink color now, with it glowing brighter slowly from what her eyes were seeing, "That you will find out you can't move at all until my scan is done. It shouldn't take more than at least five or so minutes."
Harley then closed her eyes as she also then stated quickly, to which he was proud of her for as Harley was his student, as well as from what he saw briefly within his orbs, a future person of interest later on, "Do it." Aeroza only nodded with him stating the spell as he then blasted her with a chilling yet warm-like power from that energy build-up he was going to us on her form, what she now knew, "Mizenko-Bracckindo!"
To Harley, it felt only a couple of minutes as afterwards she did felt like she couldn't move at all, but now she can as Harley was now able to do so as he was done. To her quick surprise, his word was true as he now conjured a blank parchment and saw to her amazement the paper then glowed the very same color, as that same magic he used on her, and it flashed for a brief moment.
It then looked to be fully written down in golden ink. He seemed to be surprised yet also slightly relieved after he read it first. He then hesitated at seeing Harley with hope in her eyes now dim a little yet he briefly smiled at her. Aeroza then softly stated to the girl, handing her the parchment carefully as she then took it from his hands before reading the results to herself, "I believe you might be surprised yet also relieved as some of them are true yet some of them might surprise as to who they are true to as well." She only nodded as Harley then read it.

Harley looked at Aeroza with hope relit once again in her eyes yet... also a mixture of both sadness as well as minor acceptance, with a hint of some inner questions from what he had to guess, from the godparents one for her.
Harley then shakily handed him the paperback, with Aeroza also giving her a grim yet also accepting smile. Knowing she may have to sleep on this as it took at least twenty or so minutes away from her schedule. The immortal then escorted Harley to his wing he made a long time ago for the castle, and Harley now softly thanked him as he then responded without words a welcoming nod to her.
Aeroza then headed back to the classroom as to where his door is located within. Before he left she sent him a thought with him nodding to himself as a result before leaving, giving her permission to share it with her mates or kin. Yet she passed out before doing so once she lay on her bed.
As he entered the room now, he was somewhat surprised to see Lavender Brown in his new favorite chair, as she seemed to be passed out as if she came within the night in secret. He sighed as he knew it was one of those days as he quietly went up to the sleeping teenager, and gently shook her to wake up, to which the teen did as she was briefly scared at first until Lavender then sighed as she saw him.
Aeroza now kindly asked the teen girl in question; with a raised eyebrow as she now seemed to be sheepish, knowing as she still sat in his chair still. "Do you have a reason as to why you are in my personal seat, Miss Brown. I could clearly tell you have been waiting for me for some time?" Lavender now sighed to herself as she then looked hesitantly at him, seeing he was merely joking to make her slightly relaxed, yet Lavender now without words, took out the letters from both the bank as well as her mother, making him seemed surprised as he then read them both then; sitting next to her now as he knew from what he felt she was still nervous still in his presence.
After he was done, he then looked to Lavender as he now asked curiously, motioning to the letters still in his hand, "As to why you decided to show me these Miss Brown?" Lavender sighed once again as she then brushed her hair back slightly away from her eyes also, as he knew Lavender was afraid to do this yet knew somehow from her feelings the girl wanted to tell someone, and he was right as the teen girl told him her confusions as well as worries, even her sadness about her first set of parents.
After he was done, he paused as he then had an idea that might help her, as in secret he truly knew of the girl's secondary parents... as well as otherworldly ones, yet decided to keep it a secret for now from her.
Aeroza then without words, making Lavender confused as to why he hasn't said anything yet, got up and then went to the trunk that was always locked as well as keyed to him only nearby them, against the bookshelves. He seemed from her point of view, looking for something within said trunk. He seemed to say a quiet ah-ha to himself; she heard, and he turned around showing a strange book that seemed to be new yet isn't.
The book was like an old-style book but made of soft metal of sorts mixed with leather somehow, and all around the book was no titles or anything as such, but on the front cover though was a strange symbol of sorts. The symbol itself seemed to be ancient looking yet somehow familiar to the girl. The symbol showed a crescent pearl-like moon mixed with a black-pearl to make it seem so like an actual moon. Also, it was surrounded with three, curved-like golden engraved daggers of sorts with etched runes on them, and on top in the middle was an engraved image of a helmet of sorts that was in bronze (1).
Aeroza then came to the teen girl as he gently also placed the book into her hands, as Lavender was surprised as it would seem heavy at first glance at all the metal being involved, yet it was light as a feather. Though she noticed now there was also another book under it, to which she had wide eyes for as Lavender recognized it is the book about the theory of other worlds as well as the names of said worlds, making the girl quickly look to him now.
Aeroza merely chuckled softly to her now and also rubbed her hair, to which she now frowned to him in which made him laugh slightly before answering Lavender, as she was then escorted out of his classroom while doing so by the man himself. "I decided to give you the book I have yet to assign to the class as I knew they weren't yet ready, yet I sense also that you might be able to easily learn since I cannot tell you as to who your other parents are my dear, but I decided to simply... guide you better as such to the path you need to go on. Of course, you will change in many ways due to you parental heritage as well as Mr. Brown's side as well fusing into yours. So on your spare time as your now moved into my Clan's house chambers, Miss Brown, read as much as you can. You may also tell your dorm mates as I trust them as well as a few other house students as such to know as well. So I will see you soon at next class session, which will occur after the first task, maybe two days after. Till then good day."
He now chuckled as he gently slammed the door to the bewildered teen girl; as she was escorted while he talked to Lavender, like he tends to do on others at times.
Now he headed to his chair to sit and think. Though Lavender decided to read the worldly book by herself, alone for once, at the grounds as it would appear to be nice today.
(Flashback Ends)
Aeroza knew from the other day as he took it off; with him being assaulted with visions briefly every hour for at least ten minutes to his ire, forced good visions as well as bad ones about Harley... as well as a few others. He thought then still as he now conjured a Frozen Vanilla Coke product into his hand with also taking a couple of sips; since the immortal became addicted to certain frozen drink products a few years back from a dare by his one of the two elder daughters he has, and to their ire he became addicted to it instantly. If I tend to stay here as I saw within my own future sight, then it might be a good time for me as well as from what I saw... Might be interesting, to say the least.
Aeroza now frowned then to himself, now also thinking as he took the paper he showed Harley earlier from his True-Bond Spell since he had to without any pain for those not experienced with it, take it out of his memories, and then place it on the paper. It is a minor dilemma of course. But I did get approval by Harley herself to do so. But I would still need to talk to not only her, but her elder sibling about my proposition as I decided earlier is better than later on in her late fifth or early sixth year. Aeroza thought once again with a few sips of the drink, and when he placed his drink down on the table he then felt that his Communication Orb (2) began to pulse briefly with magic.
He then took the clear sphere out of his pocket, and simply taped it with some minor magic as it then showed a picture of a person within the orb then. He winced from her stern look though, as if he forgot something.
She looked to be at least fifteen years old, yet in reality, she was at least fifteen thousand years old, from one of his true-souls reincarnations in the past and was considered one of his three elder children. Despite her permanent age, she looks older because her figure was to make every female envious as she also seemed to not only be flawless, figure wise that is, but she had no fat but mostly sleek yet hidden muscles as she despite her natural beauty, was very deadly when it comes to fighting. She also has short-cut hair which was pure-silver with golden highlights at the ends. She even looks mostly human, but she also has small-pointed ears like an elf with a few silver studs on her earlobes, and iron studs on the sides of both ears, as well as a burgundy tattoo-like mark on her face that represents to what world she came from to do her own personal rights as such, a serpent mixed with shadow (3); The Serpent Mark on her left side of her face, and the shadow mark on her right. She also has a decent face that was a mixture of being both delicate and yet slightly than to give her a natural look, and her skin tone was a light olive color. Her eyes were slits like a common housecat, as the main color was a mixture of his eye color with cyan, and she also had a small defined nose that was indeed small yet noticeable as well as a few freckles on top of it. She wore to his dismay of course her usual outfits she loves to annoy him by wearing: It was dark-grey latex outfit that somewhat resembles a certain "Widow" from that universe he has yet to visit once again to which she secretly admires as one of her famed female heroes, yet she also wore a black vest of sorts that was open as her suite showed her curves every which way to prove a point of sorts to what she says, and flexible combat boots for fast running as well as maneuvering. She was his third eldest child, Zeras Madeline or to what she wants to be known as Zeras Latria Vontrillizo.
In reality he has plenty of descendants yet has a total of twenty-four or close to it, kids. Most of them were adopted of course, while others, were natural borne.
Aeroza now gave Zeras a brief confused look as he then stated to her confusedly as well, making Zeras face palm to herself from what the man saw within her image in the orb itself, "What?" She then gave him a look as if she couldn't believe him.
Zeras then stated calmly, yet firmly as the teen was also now pinching the bridge of her nose in a light yet gentle tone, like she was born from England to him, "Do you truly forgotten your task you assigned me and Sakura to earlier, dad?" Aeroza paused at this for a few brief moments, then an ah-ha look came to him as he then gave Zeras a look back, making her sigh with him now responding sheepishly, rubbing his head as a result to one of his eldest three daughters, "I might have Zeras dear, but I was busy thinking to myself at the moment as one of your two closely-related cousins, wanted me to scan her for true bonds earlier."
This changed Zerah's mood quickly as she seemed to be curious now as well as showing minor concern to her father at the same time, with Zeras now asking him as such as she then also crossed her arms now under her ample chest then, "Which one of them was it, Dad?" "Harley," he began as he looked at Zeras carefully as she now noticed that kind of paper in his hands, the parchment he makes himself that automatically updates no matter what as well as not being able to be destroyed by any means except by his own magic, "She was having doubts on her current bonds as she; To which myself as well as your other cousin Pinkie, would be asking her about. I plan to later on today to talk to them both as well as finally explain some things. She also told me. Trustfully I might add, having new kinds of nightmares."
Zeras looked to be thinking within the orb for a brief moment, and then stated to him with a minor look of hope as well as looking less stern on her face, "Well, if you are going to speak to them both, I might as well come over as well as the others… well those that are currently free at the moment dad. I think it's high time we meet them."
Aeroza seemed to be looking far-off, yet in reality he was thinking to his weapon, Ragnarok, of course. Do you agree with her old friend? He felt a shrug within his mind as well as heart since he only he got a deep-voiced reply; a males voice as well as agreement murmurs with the others as well. "Why not. Family is considered sacred to you as well as your race. They eventually have to meet each other anyways, correct?" Aeroza nodded to himself as well as a small smile on his face to his daughter, seeing her eyes brightened as he then answered Zeras carefully, knowing what he might get in response, "I might regret it, but yes," He quickly winced at her sudden scream of excitement yet inwardly chuckled as he knew she was like her mother in that past life, a perfect mixture of being calm and collected at most times yet being herself as well. He then stated after Zeras was done jumping briefly with her freezing in place then as he only gained a mirth-like look in his eyes, "Of course you and three others: Arukas (Same as in Rosalina Story in looks), Masune, and Corina of course. Also," he gave her a mirth-like gleam in his eyes yet also an evil look, to which Zeras got interested in right away, "Bring Xion, as I think I found her new mate to be Harley, as her fate-string matches Harley's… If you get my meaning, Zeras."
In return to his words now, his daughter gave him a wide-eyed yet hopeful look on that as Zeras then looked somber, making him give Zeras now a look of concern as well as understanding; her head looking down briefly before looking back into the orb on her end he had to guess as she then responded softly to that in agreement, "Yes. Xion's I can understand as her link with Jade was destroyed by that ppermanent ritual, crushing those twos love as a result to each other, but are you sure your right dad? I can't give Xion newfound hope once again as she now has a sister-bond with Jade, but still…" He only nodded back firmly to her as he then responded back once again, but softer as well as being more gentle yet still sure of himself, "Yes Zeras, I am truly positive as such. Of course, she will have to be slow as a result of her having more to start out with, but it is indeed a true bond like Jade's was."
Aeroza then decided to tell Zeras what has been happening at his end, with him not knowing he was secretly being listened to by all of his kids.
Earlier, Zeras being sneaky for once, told them to remain out of sight as she contacted their dad, since at the moment also, Jade was also off today like all of his kids: both adopted and related by blood or true borne. So it wouldn't be a surprise if they had some reactions to what went on, as well as Xion's.
Since it was at least two hours later, he decided to call it as he said a goodbye to his daughter as well as Zeras, the orb going back to a clear orb after the image faded into a mist. But the new question remains as he now refilled his frozen drink once more, sipping it as he can't have any to what mortals called "Brain-Freezes" at all. How do I intend to get them to come to my classroom to explain things as well as meet new kin?
Three hours earlier; New York City, Museum of Natural History:
It was late at night at the museum, as only one male night guard was also training a rookie female; who had no choice but to get this type of job to pay her freshman college bills.
The male was at least in his late thirties with a balding head, somewhat muscled besides the small beer-gut he has as he easily outstood the girl in height by being at least 6'4. He wore like the girl, a dark-blue security outfit that consisted of a button shirt and pants with a silver-like zipper, and black worker shoes. On his belt was the keys to the museum as well as some guard related items like the girl, except the keys. He was an African-American male with defined features.
The girl, however, was at least six feet evenly, thus making her tall for her age yet she had no ounce of fat on her while she had a more than average chest, yet also had a pair of glasses on her face with a strap to them, since they tend to fall out randomly at times. In fact, despite her wearing the same uniform the male was wearing, she had a great figure for her being at least eighteen years of age. She also has tan-like skin to make her look she was from Egypt, yet she wasn't as her mother was from said place, but her father was born and raised here in New York, all his life. Of course, she has light-green eyes that remind others of a certain Girl-Who-Lived, yet when the light hits her glasses; they tend to glow as such in which she mostly wears contacts yet she wasn't allowed to on this new job of hers. She also had a delicate looking face as well as small hands, with grey fingerless biker gloves as that was the only thing she could also get out of the deal on working at this place since her auburn hair; which looked both slick and shiny without grease in it at all, was in a ponytail as a night guard cap was on her head. Of course, she has been unknowingly scratching at her strange mark on her left-arm she was born with all her life, as no one was able to understand as to why she was born with such a mark or rune she was told before leaving high school with all honors. She also had a small button-like nose that was a small amount of being defined, and an iron clasp on her right ear. She also has from her family or only family heirloom that is from her mother, as she died a while back when she was sixteen that is, a small necklace of sorts with a strange pendent-like gem in the shape of a complete sphere that also had an indent of a cross on it. It was the size of a quarter, yet she wore it every day for some reason, as well as tonight which was unusual for her.
The two were now passing by some jewels as well as nearing the Dinosaur Exhibit, as currently, they were in the Egyptian Exhibit with the male was now telling her as well as showing her what to do. The man was retiring and she was over his place for this job until she graduates from college.
The male then shined the light on a large sphere like gem that was recently added to this exhibit as she was in awe about it, making him grin at her. She then heard him speak in a Brooklyn accent than to her, shrugging as he told her about the gem. "Now this recently awe-inspiring gem," she giggled at his dramatic words from his gesture to said item, "Was recently displayed at least a few days ago. It was discovered in the rumored cursed tomb that one scientist was said to be cursed from, yet this gem casually rolled out of the tomb as one of the guards came by as they heard something strange."
The girl paused her thinking of the gem and what its true worth to this place was, as she now glanced curiously at the man. She then asked him, the man also noticing her curious gaze to his form right now, "What's so special to let it be here then, if it is a random gem to come out of Ramses tomb?" He shrugged once more as he then creeped her out as he began to play-scare her by putting his flashlight to his face, as it was now illuminated. The lights were currently out as a power outage happened earlier. "No one knows Betty, but it was rumored the guard was crying as he saw something unexplainable once he touched a rune this sphere-like gem has, and a week after, he died of an accident he foresaw from what he told the doctors afterward."
Betty or Bethany Xenia Flasterm, gulped at this slightly as she quickly took a few nervous steps away from the gem, and the man now laughed to himself.
He then went to the female with him gently but firmly, patting her back hard three times. She then gave him a look of annoyance now as Betty's own heart was beating a mile a minute with him now also pointing the light to her own face, making her briefly wince as it shined in her eyes a few seconds. He now assured her, as they also began walking to the Dinosaur Exhibit while doing so. "Of course it might be a rumor newbie, but it would be just an ordinary gem so fa-" they both then heard a sudden crash coming from the exhibit ceiling windows they were coming to next. This made the male pause in his steps, as well as the girls. Betty was looking briefly scared now as he held a hand up, and only motioned to the side of the wall that leads to the entrance to the dinosaur exhibit.
Betty was next to the senior night guard as he briefly looked, and when he did a silent gasp.
Betty then saw him getting his gun out quietly, making her more scared, but not showed it briefly on her face to which he noticed. He then told her quietly, looking back at the exhibit as she heard two female voices, a males and a child for some reason, yet couldn't quite hear them as they were talking quietly as well. "I want you to, quietly as you can, go to the office and get on the phone. I see the lights are now back on as well as some parts of the exhibits, yet they haven't worked on the museums street lights yet."
Betty knew what he was talking about as the street lights were separate then the power to the museum, for originality purposes she had to imagine. But she was still frightened to what he was asking her to do still. He briefly looked to her sternly, to which Betty gulped yet nodded quickly as she began to back up quickly yet quietly as he mouthed get going to her, to which she did as carefully as he said her to be.
The male guard then took a breath as he then dramatically entered the room quickly, and pointed the gun at where the group was supposed to be. But froze now as he saw they weren't there at all anymore making him confused.
"Looking for me?" A deep-male voice asked curiously behind the male, making him to look quickly behind him and the last thing the male saw before he was killed was both the stranger male's wings as well as the strange male gleaming at him from those eyes, as he was killed instantly with his heart being ripped out of his chest. "Brother, did you really have to kill that human as the way you did?" A silky yet young female voice stated or chastised him. Blood was slowly pooling from the man's corpse now on the ground.
The lights then finally came all the way on, showing it was three human-like individuals and a child: Hinaka who was covering the little girls, Brooke's eyes with her hands as she only glared at her older sibling, Memphis, who casually shrugged as he flung the heart a few feet behind him casually as if it wasn't a big deal as the other, Zarandra, scowled at him as she then stated to him with him only now showing a small grin on his face of being somewhat amused to her, "What was that really called for? We were supposed to get out, grab the gem, and release our other sibling. Simple as that, brother."
Memphis now shrugged as he then licked the blood off his hands with a long tongue making his younger sibling, Hinaka Evermoon, shudder as she hates blood. Despite her being what she is, she is also a vegetarian, who shrugged casually back. He then answered for her future question to him easily, and a smirk now on his features. "Of course, you think he would have wanted to let us do what we came here for anyways sister, to free our brother? I think not." Zarandra huffed and despite the situation, the child, as well as Hinaka, laughed with their hands to their mouths at her, and she then glared quickly to them which made them instantly go quiet, both of them looking downwards afterward.
Memphis suddenly sniffed the air as well as her, and Hinaka looked confused as she asked them hesitantly, "What is it?" Memphis then deeply smelled the air as he caught the brief smell of a lavender scented perfume not too far from here, and then stated to the group casually, yet a wicked grin on his features as he then casually stated to Zarandra, "Who is up for a new hunt at this moment?"
Meanwhile, Betty, not knowing the dire fate of the elder night guard, was trying to get into the office as it was currently locked, with her frantically as well as forcibly pushing the door to get it open by brute force; not caring if she was making a lot of noise at the moment.
Betty then stated quietly to herself, despite her being afraid still. "Ok Betty… You need to get something to break the door window so you can get inside of the place and use the phone to call the cops. Sounds easy right?" She nodded to herself as she was about to get the fire extinguisher Betty saw earlier nearby until she was suddenly grabbed without looking behind her.
A female voice then chuckled into her ear, Betty's eyes now wide and her shivering somewhat now from to what she heard the strange female state to her then. "Now, now. I wouldn't go and do a thing such as that, human. In fact I was surprised what my brother challenged for me to do was too easy, as you smell lovely despite being what race you are, girl." She then with without words, dragged her; despite Betty's futile tugging and the annoyance-like huff from the female as she didn't look at Zarandra as of yet.
After ten minutes of futile attempts, the girl gave up and was now quietly whimpering to herself. Betty earlier saw a glare at her from the would-be thief she had to assume, as well as a lot of ideas as to what might happen now to her. She also saw a strange male as well as another female gently holding a female child; who was now sleeping in her arms. Betty was also tied-up later on as they were now speaking in another language the entire time, a language she thought was something old yet strangely familiar to the young female, who simply gave up at this point.
Though, Betty had wide eyes as they were able to get the new gem from the Egyptian room easily without setting alarms, making her gulp as the gem briefly glowed yet stalled as if from what the two thieves were now sighing at once to themselves. The female who took her easily, then spoke in that language to the male again, who glanced briefly at her yet also smelled the air, strange as it sounds.
Memphis then went-up to Betty within moments shocking her briefly, who went back with failed attempts to get away from him, carefully lifted the girl up by her one arm where the mark was, and he unknowingly held in a breath as he saw the mark on her arm; after unknowingly lifting Betty's sleeve upwards when she was forced to get up by him.
Betty jumped from his voice now as he suddenly asked her after carefully gazing at the mark on her arm for a few brief moments, looking right into her eyes as he also noticed the necklace as well before doing so, "Who are you, Girl?" Memphis noticed Betty was frozen in fear as he then growled in annoyance, and griped the girl's arm slightly hard to snap her out of her feared state. She then looked at him hesitantly now as he asked her once again, to which she gulped softly as well as spoken to him, looking away from his gaze afterward, "Be-Bethany Flasterm."
Memphis scoffed softly and looked to Hinaka as he head-motioned to her, to which his sister pointed at herself as he was then annoyed from what Betty clearly could tell, and he then stated to the girl herself, "Hinaka, get over here. Now." She gave the child to Zarandra first before coming over to both Betty and her brother, and he simply showed the human female's mark to her.
Hinaka after looking at it, now had wide eyes at it as she then unknowingly touched her mark on her own arm; which was the very same mark as well as Betty's, making Memphis giving her a knowing look to which she huffed, and tossed the girl, Betty, with a surprised yelp from her lips to Hinaka who also at the same time, caught the young adult; but almost toppled over how forceful he was, and stated casually yet firmly to her, "She is your responsibility now sister. As you're her Mate, it is such so… disappointing we can't kill her off like the human male."
Betty now had wide eyes at not only astonishment as well as fear, but disbelieve as she not only thought but stated loudly at him, making Hinaka give her a small sympathetic look as she noticed the human girl as far as she can tell didn't understand at all, yet blushed at seeing how beautiful her eyes were. Hinaka yet though, heard what Betty began to state in fear from the human girl's thoughts, to Memphis, "What! What do mean Mate? What's going on here? And what you plan to do to me?"
The demon male now sighed as he gave the human girl a look, to which she quickly shut up about as he then stated firmly to Betty, seeing a minor glare from his younger sibling at the same time, "Look... I would talk about what is going to happen as of now, but most likely you will be joining us for the foreseeable future human. But for now," he smirked at his other sibling, who only sighed as he nodded, pointing to the gem on the floor near the corpse as Betty gasped in horror, and she then blushed to herself for unknown reasons as she also thought as to why; by Hinaka, seemed to be shielding her from the sight. as well as giving her a comfort-like hug of calming her.
In secret despite Bethany's father's own intentions of her as she was from the upper-class; as she also wanted to live on her own, Betty was a girl who was attracted to the same sex as well as those… other types of girls. As she is one herself, despite Betty hiding her true gender all these years since her mother and father were the only ones to know it. In fact it was removed surgically with casual silence when she was little, yet somehow, it grew back strangely when she turned fifteen years old, but also with something extra as well as overnight she also changed figure-wise. Betty to her embarrassment has some secret things afterward that tends to happen from her body every morning though, after she wakes.
Memphis now casually walked to the gym then, and with the blood of the male; ignoring the whispers of his younger demon sibling who was now soothing the human girl in her arms like a lover would, he covered the gem in the man's blood and then wickedly grinned as it began to glow as it should be. He then began to chant unknown words as each rune began to glow a somewhat dark-hued purple.
The gem then slowly rose into the air now, and then began to glow a blood red, as well as the dark hue of the gem's runes as a very bright flash, then showed as well as a cracking-based sound from the gem itself. Then a mist was coming out of the half-split gem; as it was the same color as the runes, and then it began to slowly to take shape into an animal of sorts, a large wolf, before another flash then shown as with a soft thud-like sound, they all saw a teenager now standing in front of the gem.
He stood at 5'7 since he appeared to be at least sixteen at best. He looked mostly human if it wasn't the wolf-like ears as well as tail he had, as well as canines showing from both his upper and lower lips. He wore mostly Egyptian royalty garbs, detailing him being a ruler of sorts or someone of importance, as he had dark-colored skin yet matched perfectly to looking Egyptian, yet he had red markings on the side of his face in a Celtic symbol of sorts, as well as purple tiger-like markings on his arms and legs. His fur and hair color though was midnight-black, and when he now opened his eyes as they were dazed briefly before he blinked them a couple of times as well as stretching, they were a dark-amber colored with silver specks in the iris, yet a blood-red pupil in the center. He also wore golden etched bangles on his ankles as well as his wrists that glowed green briefly before fading as well. He also had a sleek-athletic frame, detailing he was built for frontal-assaulting his enemies as well as being very quick on his feet.
The teen boy yawned once more before having clear eyes now, and saw his three siblings. He then looked surprised yet seemed to have expected as such. He then looked everywhere before looking at Memphis, stating in a minor growl in his voice as well as a hint of a rasp, to tell it was a young male's voice as well, "Brother... I take it I got jumped along with being sealed away?"
Memphis only nodded in answer as the teen then sniffed the air and looked at the human girl, Betty, as she looked at him curiously. He then to her quick surprised gasp, as well as the silent sigh with Hinaka, was instantly in front of her face. Both of them making eye to eye contact as he then glanced with him turning his head now to Zarandra curiously as he also saw a human girl with a magical core, yet sense something strange about the nearly full-grown one in front of him as well, stated with a wide friendly grin, "Hey Sis. I see I was right for once as I foreseen you having a kid of your own later on, by magic."
Brooke looked at Zarandra curiously with the little girl holding her hand as Brooke woke up during the event from the gem, in the female demon's grip, which in turn she also sweatdropped at the teen boy, with him then chuckling at her. Zarandra then stated back to the teen, saying his name briefly along with her own words, lifting the little girl to the left side of her hip at the same time as she then walked to the teen, with a look on her face. "Malkis, sometimes I wonder why you were given that gift as last time, you told me jokingly instead of stating that fact, Little Wolf." She smirked as he growled at her irritably, as he then stated in annoyance as well as a minor whine, "Sis! I told you to not call me that anymore!"
The child only looked confused as she gently tugged Zarandra's shirt in which she looked at the child on her hip with Brooke now asking innocently, pointing to him as he fell on his back in surprise at the little girls question about him. "Momma, is Uncle Puppy really my Uncle?" Zarandra seemed to be in minor shock for a few seconds before giving the child a small smile as she clearly stated to the little girl, making her giggle briefly as she adjusted her on her hip while making her siblings be surprised at how loving she looked to the girl; despite the way Zarandra is, "Yes he is… Despite his annoying habits of wetting the bed after a late night out."
Zarandra now smirked as her younger brother whined once more with a red blush on his face, and Betty now seemed to be no longer afraid as she also saw them acting like everyday people, but Betty still saw his corpse to which she gulped and then thought to herself, unknowingly placing her head back on Hinaka's shirt to make the girl inwardly squeal in her mind. Remind me to not make them angry at all.
As amusing as it is, Memphis coughed to get everyone's attention, to which he did as well as the confused glance at the human girl, and then he spoke firmly to them all as he saw blue and red lights from his sight in the distance from the windows outside, "We must take off quickly. I do not want to have to be forced to kill once more as it isn't as thrilling as a true hunt." The others nodded beside Hinaka, as to a surprised yelp by Betty, Hinaka easily carried the human girl, bridal style, as they both blushed as one by one, with Zarandra now holding Brooke in a careful yet both firm and gentle hold, jumped out of the window they came into; leaving the place as well as they began to leap over smaller buildings as the police came to the museum then and through the entrance.
Secret Meeting Grounds; Galloway Forest Park, Scotland:
The forest, Galloway Forest Park that is, is one of the largest there is in Scotland, yet also a perfect place for secret meetings for those with the use of magic. Two loud bangs appeared as two individuals that wore bone-white animalistic detailed masks, a fox and a stag, showed in a clearing within the deeper parts of the forest itself now.
The one in the fox mask then stated in a female tone, briefly lifting her left-part of her cloak to show a digital yet enchanted watch from Japan, with her also now stating in annoyance while looking at her companion briefly, "They're late." Stag only nodded in compliance as the two conjured four seats as two others from Aeroza's family or group was coming to meet them in secret.
Also secretly for at least a few weeks now, they have been betraying the current group after finding out Malik as well as two other shady others who was the real brains of the current group, and decided to keep out of their reach for the time being as well as steal any plans they currently have as well. Which Stag has said enchanted folder to store everything in his right sleeve.
After to what seemed like ten or so minutes, two softer yet clearly-could-tell bangs were a few feet away from their position, making them look to each other as now from running briefly, two cloaked females as they could tell now lowered their hoods. The first was indeed Zeras herself, but the other surprised the two as they could clearly recognize her right away as a videogame character. Thinking as to how was it possible she is real and not fake within their own minds.
The girl looked to be the same age as Harley, yet she stood at least 5'3 in height. She also seemed to be at least an average C-Cup as well as slow developing curves, meaning she was still growing since they both clearly saw that once she removed her cloak, to the annoyance of Zeras that is. Her outfit clung to her nicely, yet made her look to be like an average teen girl, yet they also could tell she wasn't at all. She also wore a small black choker collar around her neck as well as a silver crown necklace, a dark-grey halter top that showed her chest slightly as the teen girl also wore a lighter colored grey-mesh shirt under that shirt as well to not show her cleavage, yet making them more pronounced to tell them she doesn't wear a bra at all. She also had a leather belt around her knee-length dark-grey shorts with purple flame-like designs on them, and a silver zipper stitched on the pockets. The teen also wore a black vest with a white feathered color of sorts, with a golden colored zipper that has a golden heart as the zipper itself. The teen girl also wore short light-grey socks as well as black sneakers that appear to be strap-on's of sorts. She also from her facial looks to be Asian yet mixed with being American as well, making her have a cute looking nose as well as having cyan colored eyes mixed with hazel that also showed mischief. She also had short, ebony-black colored hair as well with a few metallic-lavender dyed-in lines on the right side of her hair. The teen girl then gazed at the two masked covered strangers.
The girl formally bowed yet when she rose while Zeras was now looking to a device on her wrist that was showing strange texts within the screen, she stuck her tongue out at Zeras as said girl stated quite clearly, texting back to whoever was sending her a message of sorts, making her freeze on the spot and quickly putting her tongue back into her mouth. "I think it would be best you put your tongue back now, or I would carry my earlier threat Xion."
Xion, apparently the now named teen girl, then huffed playfully with Xion also now turning her back on the other teen girl with making both Fox and Stag chuckle quietly to them both, and Zeras noticed. She was then done doing whatever she needed to do and then coughed into her hand, making them now look to her as she hesitantly smiled, then bowed as well, introducing herself.
"My name is Zeras Latria Vontrillizo: Third Elder Sibling out of many to my Dad: Aeroza. This girl here," she grabbed Xion's shirt while making said girl look to her as in a really look as she introduced her as well, firmly keeping Xion near her as well as making her huff once again. "This is Xion, and I was tasked by my father to bring her to the school soon; probably during the first task as I haven't got a clue as to what dragon Harley might be facing as of yet."
The two masked adults nodded with also knowing who Zeras was speaking about, as Xion then grabbed Zeras's arm. She freed herself easily then, making Zeras now give her a look as Xion then held her hand out to a surprised Fox, speaking with a true smile on her face now in a voice she recognized as well as suspiciously as well, Kairi's. Fox also met her before a few times during some of her missions, and befriended the Princess of the Heart, Kairi, very easily. In fact this girl somewhat resembles her somewhat as well despite what racial heritage she looks, as well as that knuckle headed boy, Sora. "The name is Xion, nice to meet ya… Fox right?"
Fox nodded as to Stag's surprise, she removed her mask, showing her real self as Xion then blushed at how beautiful she truly was as well as Zeras, who looked away awkwardly then. Fox then truly introduced herself then as she shook her hand in Xion's gentle yet firm grip, detailing she has combat knowledge in her handshake. "My name child, is Elena Xavi Dragoni: unblocked mate, as well as yourself to Harley, correct?"
Zeras now seemed surprised by this information slip-up from Elena, yet Xion only smirked in response at her as she then stated to Elena then, cheekily she might add, with Xion also rubbing her small nose as well from a playful glare by Elena herself, "Yes I think so Foxtrot." Elena groaned as Stag looked to be shaking as he also tried to control his laughter, yet his body showed he was struggling to hold it in, as that was a new nickname that was bestowed on his partner/friend since over the years Elena earned as well as gotten nicknames as such, himself included; but this took the cake.
"Did you really have to give me a new nickname, Xion; I have plenty to go around as it is." Stated Elena with a pointed look to the younger teen, who only shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, yet seemed to be now curious as she was about to ask from her now while sitting on the conjured seat near her, which Zeras was also now sitting as well on her own next to Xion, but Elena held up her gloved right-hand and then plainly stated to the girl, "I suggest you don't ask Xion, otherwise you may wake-up pranked badly by yours truly." Elena had a mirth-like gleam in her eyes then after she said that as Elena then saw Zeras groan now and then muttered to herself, there are two of them now.
Elena then coughed as she then stated firmly than to Zeras, who looked at her in agreement then; Xion now paying attention yet still looked at Elena now in small curiosity in her eyes as she now also crossed her arms, "Now we know each other, might as well get to business as to why we're here at the moment?" Stag handed Elena/Fox the enchanted folder, and she in turn handed the folder to Zeras. Said girl eyed it in a mixture of being business like for her age, yet also curious as she then opened it.
During Zeras's time, reading said contents the folder contains, Xion who was bored, decided to play the "Hand and Foot Card Game" with the other two. It was round three when Zeras looked at them sharply as she then stated/asked them firmly yet also loudly to them, red in her eyes as well to the two who looked briefly worried as well as Xion, knowing her temper as a past result, "Is this true? All of this information, is it?"
Elena knowing the outcome only nodded as she now felt a mixture of both minor fear, but mostly sadness as Elena now stated, not looking at her as both Xion and Stag seemed to understand the situation yet Xion froze somewhat stiff with a good card set in her hands to win the game... again, "Yes. I don't know how they are going to accomplish this goal against Harley, but I fear they might also have a minor spy in that Dark Lord's supposed army as well if they found this out very easily. Like I said, until Harley looks as well as gazes at us both... I can't do anything to truly protect her, besides minor things."
Xion looked to Zeras as she simply gave the teen the folder, and needless to say after she read the contents since most of them were copies of Dumbledore's plans as well those if he was dead, as well as the Societies plans within the folder, the three had to jump back as well as Zeras quickly taking the folder away from a now very angry and upset Xion, whose magic was now showing wildly. She now had red eyes as she then growled in response, making both Elena as well as Stag shiver from her tone of voice, "If they so do this to her from what I read…. They're so dead by my hands!"
Of course Zeras was the one to simply touch Xion's shoulder, making her look sharply at her as Zeras only gave Xion an understanding smile, to which Xion, in turn, took a deep calming breath as her eyes went back to normal, as well as the teen's magic going back into her. Xion saw then to her now sheepish look, the stunned forms of both Elena and Stag as she then now rubbed the back of her head while also sheepishly laughing slightly, as she then told them both at the same time, getting a look from Zeras while she now carefully placed the folder away into her void storage all members of her family always receive, "Ummm… Sorry about that. If it involves anyone connected to me with plots like this, I tend to get angered quickly."
Stag only shrugged at Xion, but Elena now looked at Xion curiously yet also kept silent.
They began to discuss things that may involve the first task then. Suddenly a portal showed up, and out came Aeroza himself as he then tilted his neck side to side briefly before looking at them all. He then stated calmly, yet also had a small smile on his face with mirth in his eyes, "Let's take you four to school then, shall we?" Aeroza paused then as he noticed someone was missing and looked to Zeras with a raised eyebrow as he asked her carefully, making sure he was seeing the right amount of people at the moment, "Where is Arukas, as well as the others, Zeras?"
Zeras sighed dramatically now to him, also placing a fake look of being sad while also making him chuckle at her antics as Zeras then stated to him, placing her hand to her forehead with her eyes upward, "O sweet sorrow, she decided to do something before coming to thy school o father of mine." She then placed her arms to her sides and chuckled briefly as she then also looked to him with a tilt to the head, her eyes gleaming then as Zeras then finished now standing with a sigh, "Of course I think she is messing around with her girlfriend before she takes off. Last time she and Atanih (4) had a brief argument over something stupid, and I think said the girl is finally committing to Arukas in a more… sensual way if you understand father. The others were called to deal with a world-like problem as well as to why they didn't show up, maybe after the first task though." He only shrugged at her words with an understanding look, as Xion blushed along with Elena as the two girls understood what Zeras meant, so one by one with minor silence beside Xion now chatting with Aeroza with her also asking questions about Harley, they went into his portal he came out of as it then vanished.
Unknown to the group, a pair of dark, slit-amber eyes were concealed in the dark-top parts of the forest trees and chuckled briefly as from what it sounded, a male's voice that was deep yet raspy then stated to himself, now leaving the area swiftly, "KuKuKu, it would seem I was right after all. Maybe my task would be easier then I thought it would be."
Harley's POV; 4 hours after she laid down in her dorm room (3 for Aeroza and surprise guests arriving):
I groaned as when I woke up, I was leaking more than usual. Knowing it was mostly stressed along with nerves as I knew little by little, the first task is coming up. Though Mia has yet to reveal what dragon I truly had to face yet she also did find out about it. Knowing her, My Books wanted to research it more before telling me like usual.
I wore my nightgown as to my ire, my chest felt very full as it was strange at first when it first happened, now it is annoying as it is more than I could take. I then saw I was alone, so I went to the bathroom to do my business, and I was surprised after I came out that it was sweeter than usual… Hey, don't knock it off unless you had a curious mind at a moment's notice.
I also felt hot as well, like my whole body was on fire yet not which was also strange, but I shrugged as I got around then, as well as recalling with still some hope in my heart since I now knew my mates were still my true mates; from what I remembered from Aeroza's paper.
I sighed now as Adelina mentioned before I went to do my bathroom business, decided to remain in my room, as she and the Basilisk who I now knew she was named Basset, after a god-like cat as funny as it sounds, already went earlier in the morning and fed themselves.
In fact, before I even went back to my dorm room, I checked on Tulip; my raptor familiar. She was fine yet was now on solid meats. Yet as of now to my grateful heart as she was giving Hagrid, the half-giant that I chatted briefly with a week ago as well as briefly today as the man knew of mine and Pinkies parents, a better time then she did before at the beginning of letting her stay there.
I also got a letter or letters as I see on my bed that were addressed by Katie, Daphne, and Destiny with myself being curious, as well as knowing I had no current classes since I was competing with the tournament. I decided to open Katie's first as I was wondering how all three, besides Misty, was.
Dear mate of mine,
I have been doing well. My parents decided to head instead of our previous destination; which was strange as it sounds, to Australia in the middle of nowhere. Saying it was a good place as fewer people knew of the new training they were giving me a strange man as a tutor, the better.
Thanks by the way of informing me of what the first task was as well as Destiny, I have to imagine as well.
Currently I can't tell you what my training is as we have to face each other; despite us being mates, but I can say we recently defended ourselves against a strange cloaked person who wanted me, specifically my heart for some strange reason. Luckily I was able to send him packing from all the training over the years as well as current I have been through, by my parents, which want to meet you soon mate of mine.
Also what you told me as well from your letter concerns me, on what you look like now as well as what is currently happening back at Hogwarts, Harley. I also feel Destiny also feels the same way for some reason, strange as it sounds if you can keep a secret from her, I feel a strange pull beside you, to her as well... A minor one.
I can't really explain why, but it is seriously weird like were sisters, but I also saw a brief vision of her with Fleur. Yet I have been also thinking you being my Alpha and considered her my Beta, in my head. In fact, it was hard for me to write as I kept trying to write Alpha to you, instead of your name, Harley.
I will find out why later on after we compete after the first task, which if you get this, I will be arriving later while you sleep since I have to do some final "Tests" from my training with my teacher. Especially since you will find out about some things I have been doing, since the last letter I was learning French... well I finished it.
I also hope I see you soon.
With love, Katie
I was touched yet also confused as to what Katie told me through her last letter, as I have been getting their mail once a week while they were away, but I placed that to the back of my mind as I got Destiny's letter now in my hands, knowing from what I saw after I cast the Tempus Spell, I might just order in.
I still felt hot strangely, yet wasn't sweating then as I conjured from my magic, a glass of refilling water. I drank it all quickly before setting the empty glass down gently and then opened her envelope as I began to read Destiny's letter to me now as well.
Dear Harley,
I have been doing good as at the moment unlike last week's letter, I as well as my mum, are currently at Louisiana in America to visit; after training hard for the first task, which I thank you by the way for filling me in, visiting my cousin. Her name is Sookie Stackhouse, and I was surprised on her boyfriend who was a strange vampire, to which I agreed hesitantly to not reveal his name as he only wanted me and my mum to know, mate of mine.
Despite that, I might when I come on later today as I sent this letter a few days ago, Harley, with a gift of sorts my cousin wanted me to gift you with after she understood easily about me being a witch; which was a relief as I have been telling her half-truths for at last two weeks while mum and I were on the road, so to speak. It was lucky she also forgave me, yet I was surprised as she saw me not only you being my true mate, but Katie for some reason. In fact before I sent this, I had a very "Vivid" dream of sharing her with you, if you get my meaning my mate. But also with that Fleur girl as well.
I just hope whatever I find out why this is, doesn't affect us badly, Harley, I truly love you as such as any of the other girls. And I know this letter is shorter then I do, but I can't wait to see you soon before the task.
With love, Destiny
I was astounded now as I looked between Katie's as well as Destiny's letters to me as I then thought in minor shock, now slowly getting Daphne's letter into my hands as I had used my Chaos Magic to make my own hairbrush start brushing my hair now. What are the odds of what Katie feels as well as Destiny, it's like part of what Aeroza's True Bond test was. I can accept it very easily as I love them both, but it might take me getting used to what I think might be a bond between the two as well as I.
I then sighed as I debated if I wanted to open Daphne's letter or not, but I shrugged as when I did so, a necklace to my surprise came out of it that had my initials on the back, yet on the front was a pure-emerald like gem of sorts embedded into the silver necklace itself. This made me inwardly giddy at Daphne sending a gift like this to me, especially it was like the one I saw on one of our dates that I had my eye on.
I then used my magic once again to get the necklace on me as at the moment despite the ongoing heat I felt not only on my body but to my embarrassment, as well as blushing even more, down below. I then touched the gem itself with a happy thought briefly on how nice it was for her to give me a necklace from her, Daphne's first gift to me that is, after I had it around my neck.
I then looked to the letter she also sent as I then read it to myself like the other two.
Dear Harley,
I hope you like the gift I sent you with this letter. If you also wondering if it is the same necklace your eyes were on from one of our dates, it is as I knew you already had a birthday, but I thought It might be considered being a late one as I also gave it to an enchanter since it has special properties now besides being an average looking, yet expensive necklace. Now I can see briefly somehow you might be looking aghast at what I mentioned, so please don't feel upset over this, it's my gift to you, my future bride, and I do love you as well.
At the moment by the time you get this letter, I should be back shortly, but sadly I found out after the first task so I hope one of the girls could record it for me to watch later on. I will try to come sooner if we could do so, my bride.
My Dad also has to deal with out of country politics still, and at the moment as strange as it sounds, we can't get an earlier Portkey to head back to England. We have been trying though. Also as it gets even stranger, mom for some strange reason when it was only her and I, summoned our House-Elf; Cleo, and told her to gather all our important things as well as our stuff, and send them to our cottage near Wales for some strange reason, as well as the family enchants. She is also concerning me as she keeps checking our lodgings as well.
Besides that, my time here is both exciting as well as boring, my future bride. I hate sitting during Dad's meetings as well as listening to my Mom's lectures since I only act as the "Ice Queen" at Hogwarts as well as my Mom and Dad's meetings. In fact, they do want to properly meet you soon after we come back, as I somehow got a letter from Gringots saying we were already married somehow, and I as well if your reading this, as you can't understand as to how that was possible.
With love, Daphne "Ice Queen" Greengrass
I sighed to myself as I gathered my three letters, and placed them into my heavily secured trunk where I have been storing them.
I was currently wearing a new outfit as it was quickly modified to my figure as well as size. I was now 6'9 to my dismay when I magically used my measuring spell on myself as well as blushed as I am now an F-Cup, yet happy my hips were still the same with my sleek figure, however, was slightly more pronounced now. I also thought briefly that it is probably from my current training that's mostly doing it. My four tails in agitation decided to wrap themselves around my waist as they were above my actual belt-buckle, as an extra belt of sorts to others views. My outfit contained a dark-blue halter top with an emerald-green collar that Mary bought for me on one of our solo dates, of course my "Special" bra which shifted to my current size once more underneath that, a dark-leather belt lopped into light-tan khaki shorts with spiral designs on the pockets, which also has an extra set with them being zipped-up by a silver zipper with a chrome-shaped lightning bolt. I also wore knee-length light-grey socks as well as dark-blue with white lines sneakers, on both sides, a red lightning bolt of sorts that flashed when I stepped or walked each time.
Most of this outfit was personal to me, as it was bought by each of my girls from our dates or other things.
Mary's was my collar, Destiny's from out of town was my shirt, Daphne's necklace that matched surprisingly to this outfit, the belt from Luna as we are still in friend bases at the moment, the pants from Katie, the socks and shoes from Sonata. I also decided to grab the backpack specifically enchanted thanks to both Aeroza surprisingly as well as Sunset's idea, as her name as well as all of my girls names were written on the bag, grabbing my other gifts from the girls as well. From both my original mates I encountered firstly, Mia and Selene, books of course as Mia's were about Advanced Potions, and Selene's was a book about Greek Gods as well as Romans for some reason. Misty's gift however was a gem of sorts to which I was still curious over, yet I placed that as well as all my personal belongings, and a few outfits for some odd reason into my bag. I was still surprised all my gifts were able to fit inside it.
The heat was now going away, yet I was now uncomfortable as the heat stayed on for some reason down below that also made me nervous as well as strange as it sounds, excited for some reason.
I shrugged my shoulders to adjust my bag once again now. I then surprised myself as I accidentally ripped my door... or our door off without effort, making me wide-eyed as well as Iris, as for some reason she hasn't been added to what I saw on that paper, yet I feel she will eventually, gapping at me as I gave her a sheepish look, yet winced to myself as I bumped my head at the frame.
She then gave me a look of sympathy as Iris then used her wand to banish said door I was still holding up, and we then casually talked, despite I had to look downwards to her to do so, and also avoid the ceiling when it gets low. Iris apparently, was sent to fetch me as I slept in, and at that moment my stomach growled loudly, causing her to stifle her own laughter as well as making me have a blush briefly on my face in minor embarrassment.
I was surprised as we were now greeted by Sunset, who to my minor amusement, hoped upwards as I caught her with ease as she then kissed me on the lips. Yet for some strange reason, I deepened the kiss as I also held her. Sunset though seemed surprised suddenly at this action, and I was also stunned at my own actions as I then gently placed her down. I went to say sorry, but Sunset only raised her hand up, and gave me a look of being happy yet also slight confusion in her eyes as she then told me gently as possible, seeing how worried I was at our usual kisses was mostly small love yet kind kisses, not… passionate ones like I did to her.
"It's alright Harley, I don't see why you need to freak out about this. In fact... I enjoyed the kiss." She then gave me a smile, yet now grew concerned as I suddenly was weak for some strange reason as the heat came back rather suddenly, and she grew concerned even more as Iris gave her a worried look.
Sunset now asked me then with minor worry in her tone, helping me up as I was panting now for some reason, "You ok?" I opened my mouth yet I groaned without speaking words, making the fear show in her eyes as I then passed out in their arms, with them catching me while they were at it.
Sunset's POV:
My heart dropped as Harley seemed fine for a moment, yet her body seemed to radiate minor heat as she then passed out, to which both Iris and I caught her quickly as well as grunted as she was heavy; despite her having no ounce of fat, but pure muscle as well as to what her figure was as I blushed to myself despite the situation as I accidentally grabbed her chest.
Iris and I then headed over to the couch nearby and we then gently placed her there, seeing her panting rapidly as well as now sweat was slowly developing on some parts of her forehead. I looked to Iris carefully as she only looked to me in minor fear as it was clearly showing on her face, stating firmly as I had to be brave for my mate despite my growing fear in my heart. "I need you to watch Harley, Iris, while I get her sister or someone to find out what's wrong with her."
Iris only nodded wordlessly as I then quickly ran out of the dorm and into the hallway as I also knew by now everyone ate their food, yet I saw to my dismay that it was empty, so I decided to find someone close by instead. Since most of the students were currently at the class as well as those taking it easy despite the staff's words saying they didn't need to, most of them still did anyways as it was mostly the older students in fourth year onwards.
I have been running to what seems like ages until I now bumped into a few figures as they were talking. I landed on my bum as well as the person I evidently ran into, and I saw it was to my luck, Pinkie as well as Twilight Sparkle. Twilight was about to complain but froze as I was panting as if I was running, and saw I was worried over something as she then asked me carefully, Pinkie helping us both to stand as she was also curious as to why I looked like I was, de-shelved and stuff as I tend to have that happen to me oddly as it sounds, while running. "What's wrong Sunset?"
It was then I told them what was currently going on, and Pinkie now gasped in both worry as well as surprise at the same time, as I also noticed her hair somehow went flat only slightly before going back to her normal poufy hairstyle, and Twilight looked to me carefully as if contemplating something within her mind, as I knew she is smarter than I am as a few weeks ago we did a knowledge test of sorts in secret, that's why as it was like a game show thanks to both of our annoyance, Aeroza, as he thought it would be not only entertaining, but funny.
"She kissed you more then she usually does as well afterwards, looked very flushed and panting before... Harley then passed out?" I only nodded my head as while she explained, Pinkie somehow managed to drag the rest of her friends, Harley's aunts, as they were about to complain as Applejack was also wearing her clothes from yesterday, ruffled up as she slept in them, Rarity as well as Fluttershy who was sad to say, was late on her pregnancy as her belly was bigger than before, wore nightgowns with their symbols as a design with half-awake faces. Rainbow Dash though was in a training outfit as if she was getting ready for a jog of sorts like she has been doing, around the castle. They stopped instantly once Harley was mentioned, as we were quickly nearing the hall as I also didn't know I ran at least a mile within the castle randomly to my utter as well as an inner surprise over this, but I placed that for later as my most and truly main concern was Harley.
"Gosh, do you know what she might be doin' with them Twilight?" Asked Applejack as we were nearing the dorm room now, to which she only shrugged as Twilight then stated plainly to them all, as they were talking amongst themselves quietly with a determined yet worried look on her face as they neared the door, which was shut, "I need to see her in order to find out what is going on. Other than that, no Applejack, let's hope-" We then paused as to our surprise, we heard shouts inside as well as to our confusion, keep her bindings on her.
The Phoenix now chuckled to us, making us look to it as that female voice came out of the symbol with humor in her tone, "If you humans or other races are going into the dorm chambers, be prepared as myself and my colleagues here were amused as to what has been happening after you left, Miss Shimmer." The Dragon seemed to be holding in laughter as we turned to each other in confusion, and simply shrugged as they both let us enter as they then opened the door.
What greeted us was; to our shock, a large messed-up chamber that could be easily fixed, yet Harley was tied down as she was struggling like a rabid animal of sorts, yet she was firmly in place in a wooden chair with rope as we could tell, and we saw Aeroza, Iris, and both Mia and Selene looking at Harley with blushes on their faces for some reason as they were next to the professor as well.
We were about to ask or more like from what we saw, Pinkie was going to ask sternly why her sister was tied down, but Aeroza simply raised his hand as he gave her a look to make her coil back, and then it then changed as quickly as it came, to a stern yet knowing look as he now looked to us all before looking back to Harley as I now gasped as I saw that her eyes were pure white, but it was like she wasn't currently there at the moment. Her tails also were tied as well, as they thumped left and right on the floor in weak attempts.
"It would seem her heritages decided to be early, and left her unconscious as well for her first time." Aeroza loudly stated to us, and we saw Iris, Mia, and Selene looked to us with their blushes now gone, but replaced with worry. But from what? I thought to myself, and we were stunned as when we entered the room, Harley's head stopped as she sniffed the air and with her white eyes was looking mostly at me and to our shock, purring in a calming sound, not seeing Aeroza's eyes filled with understanding even more.
Aeroza then looked to me, coming over as well as Aeroza then patted heartily on my shoulder, almost knocking me down from his surprising strength I didn't know the man had. He then said with a somewhat good tone mixed with something I couldn't make out, like a mixture of both sympathy and… minor regret? "Well, it would seem Harley's body could already tell who she wants to be with currently at this moment. But we need to talk; All of you alongside introducing some things as I also have no choice in the matter."
Aeroza then channeled some energy into his hand and quickly blasted it at a random wall, and we were all now surprised as a door then appeared, his door from his classroom that is as he then patted my shoulder, gently this time as he also then grabbed me suddenly and only head motioned to it. We all then understood as he paused, and looked to Harley for a few moments, and simply snapped his fingers as she yowled like a cat in surprise to us, and was slowly being dragged in the air to his amused chuckles, as we then now entered his room.
It was just like we encountered last time as he then sat Harley down in the middle, said girl struggled even more in her bindings once again.
With a firm nod to himself, I had to guess, now conjured chairs around us. Harley was now whimpering though with her knees together, as she mostly looked to me in wanting for some strange reason. Once we sat down, he now coughed awkwardly into his gloved hand as he then also paused before speaking, and we heard to our surprise since the door was shut, a knock. Aeroza then stated with a warm voice, to the other side of his door I head to guess, "Please come in. The group I wanted you four to meet is with me at this moment… Along with a tied-up Harley." He stated that in mirth lastly to whoever was on the other side.
The door then opened wide quickly. We all then saw a ebony-haired girl with cyan-mixed colored eyes in a black cloak of sorts look to Harley now in wide-eyed shock as well as the others coming into the room. I tensed as I saw two of them wearing bone masks, but then relaxed as I saw they were animals and not the usual ones that Death Eaters had.
One had a female figure and was wearing a fox-like white mask while the other was clearly male, and had a stag one.
We then saw a silver-haired girl come in lastly as she seemed annoyed yet understanding at Harley, from what I could tell from her looks as she then looked to Aeroza then as she stunned us all from her question, "I take it she went early like I did long ago for my first Heat, the right Dad?"
I inwardly facepalmed to myself as I also chastised myself in my thoughts at the same time. Why I couldn't recognize those certain signs? But usually back in Equestria, we were aware despite our heads being hazy. Thankfully while here that is nullified. I was brought out of my thoughts as well as I could tell the others were thinking to themselves at this news as well as to what Harley might be having still, her struggles less as she quickly gazed at Xion as she then froze from that white gaze at her, making me, Mia, and Selene groan, and Aeroza to only chuckle as I thought I saw him glancing at a paper and nodded with a real smile on his face before schooling it, and hiding the paper as Harley also glanced at the Fox-masked female as it happened to her as well.
Two new girls in one day, while in this state? What is going on here and why we need to be in Aeroza's chambers to be told as such? I thought once again to myself at the current situation. He also chuckled knowing from my own gaze as if he understood my thought-based questions, making me gasp as Aeroza then stated loudly, making everyone look to me briefly before looking back to him then. "Harley, Miss Shimmer, is in what my race preferably called, The Heat, for certain females. The first time, they go unconscious as well as being somewhat aware as their inner desire if I word it right, goes for the first girl they seek out since that is what she is attracted to mostly. Of course, it is amusing as to what Biju she is as it is making her being kept at bay, but not for long as she will need you soon my dear, despite it being early."
I noticed the jealous look Xion as well for some reason under the mask, the Fox stranger-female was giving me yet also filled with understanding, as Pinkie seemed shocked as if she understood as well as few others, but myself as well as from what I saw, Rainbow Dash, Iris, and surprisingly Mia and Selene looked at him in confusion. But I was also confused as to what he meant by his race as so did the others as I could tell, us looking to him, and he chuckled as the man then began to explain, making us then listen with another stunned shock on our forms, but I briefly glanced as I saw a bored look at the cyan-eyed girls face, and the other three talking amongst each other as if they heard of this before.
Before he said anything to do so, he looked to who we all know as his daughter was, as she only nodded, and got a syringe out, and before we could say anything, she injected Harley with it. Harley then slumped back to being unconscious instantly. It would seem I wasn't angered by this as the rest of Harley's mates, as well as her sister who glared at Aeroza and was about to get up and deal with his daughter, but he raised his hand up as I suddenly chilled on the spot as I as well as them from their expressions, felt a tons of sudden unknown pressure aimed mostly at us as he sternly yet calmly stated to us as well then, "Patients. Just watch and see."
As if that would explain his actions, to which I had to guess it did as Harley now after a brief moment seemed to be waking up. She seemed confused as we all saw her eyes were now back to normal, and the ropes were now gone after a simple wave by him, yet Harley then blushed at the two girls, besides blushing even deeper for some reason at my gaze to her.
"Welcome back Harley. Now before you say anything else; Since your aware now, there are things I need to address to not only you, but to the others as well that are currently with us. As I think I withheld my information as well as a few other things for so long." He seemed to pause as from what we all saw on his face, for some reason, debated if Aeroza wanted to tell us or not, but shrugged to himself. He then began speaking, telling us all as I saw Harley then looked at him with wide eyes as she also gazed to me then, and then back to him a few times while he spoke.
"My race to you girls is known as Harmonian. Our race can be completely of any race, one hundred percent with all the other races combined. In fact , we were also considered to be world creators as well as many things, including some worlds like this one we specifically created and let life take its course by leaving it alone... Unless it needs our specific help to aid our chosen world." Aeroza then saw we had questions yet we also saw to ourselves at the same time, he wasn't finished speaking to which he gave us all a thankful look as he then continued. "I am royalty to a world far, far away at this moment, yet all worlds are connected to it as a result of it used to be the center of what the muggles of this world or other humans thought of as the center of the universe... well one of many centered worlds that is. It is also based on the books you three," Aeroza then pointed at Mia, Selene, and Harley who seemed to have a look of realization, making my eyebrows furrow slightly as I decided to maybe ask one of them for that book he gave them as the man then placed his hands on his lap with him speaking more, "Is based off about entirely, as I wrote that book from my past… endeavors, but not all of it."
Aeroza then sighed as he then looked up briefly as we then also saw his eyes were glazed as if also recalling or remembering something briefly before he looked to us, a small hesitant smile on his features. He then asked us then, his thumbs twirling somewhat before quickly settling down, "Now I bet you have questions as to why I mentioned this perhaps?" I saw Twilight lean somewhat forward carefully with her now looking at the man as she then asked, with a hesitant look as I also saw Harley unconsciously still crossing her legs together with a minor blush on her face still despite the situation, I was still concerned about her, and whatever they injected her with might have settled whatever Heat she might be going through, down somewhat, but it might come back eventually. "From what you're saying despite your words, your sound as if you're-" "An Alien, perhaps yet not at the same time, Twilight. In fact, I was surprised Discord didn't call me out as he already truly knew who I was." Aeroza stated/confessed as he rubbed his head, as we then saw Pinkie jaw dropped at this minor information and a sudden gleam in her eyes as I now gulped to myself, knowing there might be an argument in the future between husband and wife soon. I saw Harley gulp as well, from experience I bet.
Twilight was about to speak again, but she was now interrupted by Rarity surprisingly, asking him curiously I might add, waving her hand briefly while doing so as she sometimes does as an old habit in her human form; from what I heard from the others. "So darling, if your royalty... Where are the robes and stuff for it?" We all turned to her as Rarity now looked nervous then as she also laughed hesitantly. She then quickly responded with a wave motion of her hands, "Don't get me wrong darlings, I was just curious that's all." I as well as a few gave her a deadpanned look as Aeroza only seemed amused at this, and then answered to her honestly, "Well, I do have certain robes... But I tend to mostly wear my costumed-made armor I crafted on me, from a long, long time ago on most times."
We all saw him wearing mostly teachers clothes in black colors as Applejack then looked at him doubtfully as well as a few of us, yet I saw his daughter who we didn't know yet as well as the girl who briefly glanced at me with a gentle smile yet looked onwards, as if something amusing was about to happen from what I saw on the cyan eyed girl's face. "Don't get me wrong, but we all see you're not in armor at all, despite you being honest." He chuckled to himself as he then looked amused at all of us, but mostly at Applejack as Rainbow Dash then stated to him, giving him a look as she refused to sit down unlike us yet stood near her wife as she was now cocky with her leaning against the wall. "I have to agree with Jack here, and say if you have this supposed armor," She stated armor with her fingering the word as she then re-crossed her arms to her chest as she finished speaking her mind, her wife silently agreeing with her, "Why are you wearing a tacky teachers suite right now instead of that?"
"Rainbow!" Stated in soft exclamation by Fluttershy to her wife, who blushed as she was chastised, and Aeroza only shrugged yet also seemed amused still as he then stated, making us look weirdly at him then, yet I also felt as if the other two already knew; the ones in the mask as well as the other two girls as he spoke. "It's alright Fluttershy. Your wife was only stating her opinion, and I am also glad your child isn't here at the moment as what we have yet to discuss," he glanced at Harley who looked like she was caught as she kept glancing at me unknowingly every time she secretly got a chance to, to which I mostly noticed yet also paid attention to what was going on, and he finished as he carefully stood up, and gave us a playful smirk now on his face.
Aeroza was now glowing a silver-like aura around his bodily form, as he now stated to us firmly yet also a hint of his words being playful. "I've been wearing it all this time, Revealos!" We quickly covered our eyes and as the light faded away, we then gaped at him at his new, true attire.
He was still like he was as a young man, but he was in some kind of armor, and despite his attire, he had no helmet on so I as well as the others could see his face clearly. His eyes were now slanted on his pupil's, but they looked normal, except they had strange small symbols that I couldn't make out and the others as well. He was clean shaved still, and he had a scar now showing on the left side of his left eye, like a single claw mark stuck it in deep. His armor, however, represented that of the medieval times, like a knight, but the armor was a mixture of silvat and gold. The shoulders represented two certain animals, one I know, and the other I didn't as yet I saw Twilight and a few others did recognize the bird. The left one was in shape of a dragon, while the right was a bird of some kind. I also noticed as well as the others, even Harley despite her minor distress still, saw that he also wore a pitch-black cape that moved like water threw waves a little.
Aeroza now smirked at our astounded faces, yet his daughter looked only annoyed at him, and the cyan-eyed girl only looked at him in approval with a twinkle in her eye. "Now that spell I said was a 'True revealing spell' that will reveal one's true form, by any means. Like I told you Miss Dash," he began as he gazed at her then, her jaw dropped yet quickly recovered as she now was the annoyed one, and his daughter and the other three chuckled, yet the one in the stag mask did so silently as she was told by the man. "I always wear my armor, as I costumed made it change into any outfit I deem fit on a world I am on. But that isn't my topic as to why I am mentioning myself entirely to you all at this moment, despite Harley's condition."
Before we could ask to what he means as well as Harley from what I saw on his face, he looked to the four others and nodded to them all, and the cyan girl stated in a familiar voice as if I knew her off somewhere, but Harley froze as she now was wide-eyed as we all saw her having a… fan-attack from recognizing the girl? Yet she stayed sitting down, but her tails twitched in lazy excitement now. "Finally. I was wondering when we get to introduce ourselves." She then yelped as she was then walked behind her head, and playfully glared at Aeroza's daughter as he seemed amused yet also stern at her as she now stated firmly at the teen girl, "Patients, otherwise do I have to remind you what happened last time you outspoken yourself, Xion?"
I as well as the other younger girls: Me, Selene, Mia, Iris, and Harley that is were stunned yet had mixed feelings: Harley's was with a mixture of not only love but a fan-attack once again in her eyes as we all knew Xion is one of the few favorite characters from said franchise Harley plays most of the time.
Mia's was a look mixed with being truly stumped mixed with shock at Xion, as if she wasn't expecting her to exist.
Selene only nodded to the girl as if she somewhat already knew Xion existed before any of this. Iris however, only looked away yet I saw a blush on her face, making me think she thought Xion was a good looking girl. I did as well as, yet I was still stunned as I thought to myself now. We now know who that is, but it was impossible… right?
Xion looked suddenly pale as she then backed a few steps away from the girl, who was amused yet also nodded at her in acceptance as she then stated carefully to us, bowing to our surprise as she did so as when she raised, she spoke gently yet told us her name then. "My name is Zeras Latria Vontrillizo, and as you know I already gave Xion's identity away," Said girl only shrugged as if she didn't mind it, yet I saw minor disappointment for some reason as she didn't get to do so herself, which Harley I saw understanding in her eyes at her, but blushed once again at me; making me curious as to why Harley keeps not only doing that, but blushing each time.
The two masked people, well the one in the fox masked took hers off, and I was once again stunned as the rest of us as she seemed familiar yet also very beautiful as she seemed to be a young female at twenty-three years of age as we all could clearly tell, and she then smiled small, yet it seemed both hesitant and warm as she mostly glanced to Harley as she then spoke, "My name is Elena, Elena Xavi Dragoni, and this silent man next to me," she thumbed to the man, who only waved silently to us all as she glanced at him briefly and back to them as Elena introduced him then, "Stag is my partner over the years… and not in lovers way; Just work we are getting away from as it was… not likely if we ended up staying, we are able to live within a few days staying." We saw him only nodding to her in agreement as Elena then sighed as well as stated to us then, with the male tilting his head to his partner as if that would explain why that is or of course, from his body language, "He is mostly silent unless he needs to state his opinion on things."
Since the four introduced themselves, everyone now turned to Aeroza as he now began to explain Harley's condition, as when I glanced at her she was squirming in place. Needless to say I gapped at the man as well as most of us as Harley blushed now at not only looking at me, but being embarrassed about what is currently happening to her. But what got me to think is why he knows of this as well as Zeras.
Luckily I didn't need to ask it. It was Pinkie who did as she now gave Aeroza a suspicious look with her now crossing her arms under her chest as she also spoke to him for once, being serious from what we all saw on her face, with Pinkie also glancing back to him and her sister, my mate, every few moments or so. "So why do you know so much about… my sister's condition then?" Aeroza sighed as if he knew she might ask this or from what I saw from his gaze, Harley might have asked as to what he told everyone, stunned us one more time, yet we were looking at him as if he was either crazy or as if he might be either right or wrong.
"The reasons I do know this is that I was indeed going to explain it better later on, while Harley gets what 'She needs'," he quoted carefully on those two words with his gloved hands as he continued, "Is that your mother was secretly related to my little brother: Frankorni 'Frank' Alazo Vontrillizo. Making me either your Great-Uncle or Uncle... If that's how you put it right. Since my brother was your grandfather." It took me along with everyone only mere moments to have wide eyes at his words, as we all then shouted out to him with shocked voices, Fluttershy's though was soft unlike ours, and the other four were simply silent yet winced from our volume together, "WHAT!"
Harley suddenly began to slowly pant again as well as moaning, leaning on the side of the wall she was currently next to.
Aeroza then nodded suddenly and before I could or anyone else say anything, myself and strangely Harley was now teleported somewhere I didn't know as well as her, but we saw Aeroza here. The area was a small motel room made for comfort of sorts, yet when I glanced out of the room window, as it seemed to be an average room of sorts with basic needs, I gulped as when Harley came to me, I accidentally only blushed a minor part of her body as Harley suddenly moaned to herself and her within moments, quickly placed her hands to her own mouth in minor surprise as I was not only blushing but stepped back briefly in surprise at her strange actions to herself, to me.
I also saw her clutching her legs once again, backing up from me now as if Harley now feared of doing something she might regret.
Aeroza only sighed, making us look to him for an answer as to why we were here. "In order for you to stop your… condition, " Harley gave him a look as he was going to what I believe to say, heat, in front of her as he was awkwardly speaking now because of that; seeing that Harley was panting, but not like she was doing earlier, yet her face was flushed as I can tell. "Your first time would be with one of your girls in random order, but you're no longer considered that kind of girl, but your heat says otherwise... My Niece."
Harley now gulped at this, yet was still panting like she currently was, and I stepped near her yet she flinched back as I saw Harley was aware, but her eyes were slowly being glazed over by something I couldn't tell, as I never seen that from what I heard back at my old home for mares that do go through that.
Aeroza only gave her a understanding look, and he then looked at me with a firm yet serious expression, yet he kindly began to speak to me, motioning without gazing as Harley to my brief glance, surprised me. She did so quickly on the bed, then whimpered to herself as if she was in both pains and to my blush, minor pleasure.
"I know your inexperienced with this thing, Miss Shimmer, but she chose you. As after this, she won't have to do so till next year as it's a once a time a year thing as far as I can tell from her. I can clearly tell you she is dazed and also confused at this moment; Her hormones going wild within her as a result to this. So her basic instincts, like all females, chose you to be her first. Because after this, next years though would be slightly different yet I will be able to explain more to her after you... Sad to say, do her."
I blushed in three mixed emotions from his words: Minor anger for him forcing Harley to do this for her sake or health, by force. Embarrassment as even though I listened along with hearing her pants grow slowly more and more with each minute or two, would not be right yet also as well, and three, small amounts of doubt within my heart; to which Aeroza noticed. Minor fear as I just hoped she might understand even though Harley chose me, I felt I wasn't ready at all for that yet, yet slowly is at the same time.
He then gently placed a comforting hand on my shoulder now, making me look to him in surprise as he also gave me a kind yet understanding look as I also then gulped. Aeroza then continued explaining to me after five minutes. Harley though seemed to be passing out or withering in both agony alongside arousal now, as I then gulped once again, understanding what I needed to do and he nodded and before I could ask anything from him, he then stated one final advice, placing a bottle on the table for me as I had to guess to make me be able to match her.
"Now as I stated before, and I'm stating now: she chose you for a reason, Sunset, as she truly loves all her girls yet she felt you the most as of some reason, I could sense why as her heart has been calling out to you. If things didn't go the way they did... You would have been the one pregnant, and not the way Selene currently is."
I was gapping at him now in minor disbelieve as he then chuckled before glancing at Harley, who was whimpering still, ignoring us now. I gave her a sympathy look yet glanced at Aeroza who only nodded his head, patted my shoulders as Aeroza finally stated to me then, seeing this might be happening now, "Since that in turned happened, you don't need to worry if you end-up like Selene... yet I will have to scan you afterward in case. So with that, go slow and help her as best as you can since it is, in fact, her first time as well; Despite doing so while drunk. Harley will, once you do so, be aware yet also not. As to why I gave you that bottle, it would ease you as well as grant you a few things during that time to keep-up with her, and afterwards both of you will pass out for at least an hour or so. I do not know how long it would take, but it all depends on her at this moment of time my dear. Now I must be going," he then conjured a portal as strange as it sounds to my stunned face as he then only chuckled at me one final time, and then left before finishing from within the portal, "I will explain more to the others and so Pinkie will tell her why we are related afterward, so good luck."
The portal now closed as I debated whether or not I wanted to do this, and hearing Harley now in pain quickly made me look to her, then to the bottle as I decided.
I picked it up then, and without hesitation, quickly drank the strange liquid.
Afterward, once I placed the bottle down, I suddenly felt warm all over quickly as when I drank it, it tasted strangely of vanilla and chocolate chip cookies, and I felt for some reason very energized yet also being able to do anything. But I quelled that idea down as I mostly focused on Harley as now from her look, I gulped once again.
I then thought to myself, slowly going to the bed, as I was going to comfort her first before doing anything serious. I hope I can help her as well as tell her how I feel after this.
Normal POV, Aeroza's Chambers, Hogwarts Castle:
All the girls along with Pinkie blinked in minor confusion, and then looked worried as to where Aeroza took off with the now missing Sunset Shimmer, and Harley Lana-Luan Potter-Pie.
Aeroza then to their hidden surprise, yet they showed either confused or stern faces at him once he came out of a portal, Aeroza now noticed as he looked at them plainly and simply stated now making them either to blush or to be sheepish. "My Heat-Reducer Elixir could only last for so long, so I had no choice but to give the two some privacy. If they stayed; More than likely, you all would have been attacked by Harley, despite her being your kin or friends." Everyone saw Pinkie give him to their surprise, a minor stink eye at first, then sighed as she nodded, looking at her friends as Pinkie began stating to what she felt, "I had a feeling this might happen. She's been twitchy for sometime for at least three days as well as blushing for unknown reasons, in random areas that I only noticed, but I didn't expect her to go into that though Aeroza." She gave him a pointed look as Pinkie looked to him at the end of her words, and he only shrugged as if it couldn't be helped at all.
"What done is done as the saying goes. But to more pressing matters at hand, and since it cannot wait any longer than necessary everyone, I must tell you some important information," he now looked then from Pinkie to both Mia and Selene, as we saw she has a belly now, truly telling others she is either fat or pregnant, but not by much as he then spoke to the two, looking carefully at Iris as well as if telling her as well.
"You may tell the others besides Sunset as after she… does the deed with your Mate, to whom you shouldn't be upset for as it was Harley's own instincts going at play here, as to why she didn't choose you at all girls. However as to why Iris hasn't yet shown up on my chart as a soul bond mate," to which he took said paper that he used for Harley, and then passed it around as mostly everyone understood or the rest were confused as when he got it back he then continued speaking, after carefully placing it back into his cloak flowing behind him. "I have a feeling you have been soul-blocked as a result to the tampering by the old fool who used to run this castle, as Headmaster, as he possibly done that in secret since he used that one Forbidden Curse to change the minds of the nurses to where Harley's Mates or Future Friends be born at, and how he got this information I do not know as of yet; To make sure that wouldn't happen. Luckily some of them were able to be broken from accidental magic plenty of times, while yours was only a very big and single dose of that my dear."
Mostly everyone looked to a surprised Iris yet she begrudgingly nodded as she felt a barrier of sorts within her, as she was near Harley yet acted out on her own sometimes to try and take things slow. But knowing she tampered with unsettled her and Mia; since she was next to the girl, began rubbing her back to calm her nerves to which Iris gave her a thankful look.
"Now we got that issue resolved, I believe I should let the conversation begin with Elena or Fox when she wears that mask of hers, as a former spy and agent to my cause; as a new threat later on besides the Death Eaters that is, from her former workplace." Aeroza gave Elena a go-ahead look, and Elena now sighed as she knew this might not be helping matters yet Elena also felt it needed to get out there, and rose from her seat. Elena saw from Stag's eyes under his mask at her, a look of support, to which she gained a small relieved smile on her face then as she took a small breath and now started to speak. "Now you all know who I am, but not what place my partner and I used to be part of. We were part of a secret club of sorts that was already ancient in terms as it also didn't have a purpose at the time, yet recently they wanted to use dark-like creatures as well as things only I found out to my utter surprise mixed with horror, along with Stag here," she gestured to her partner before speaking more, "Entities known as Heartless, and our Former Master, as that is his title within the club of sorts we used to be in, became obsessed over a lot of things, including using said creatures to get what he wanted by any means within twenty years, as I am older then I look yet to tell you all the truth, not completely human."
This gave Elena a few curious glances as well as doubtful ones as Twilight being curious once again as she now asked her kindly, looking right at her as Elena looked to Twilight while she spoke, still standing, "So you're older then what you look as you're not human... From what you stated, right?" Elena only nodded as she didn't see the point of that question, but sighed at Twilight's next one to her, "What races are you then?" Elena then began to explain briefly to what race she was to them now, "I am a Half-Astral Dragonix from my father, and a mortal witch from my own mother, a pureblood that is as I hate to admit it as its racist still. Astral Dragonix's are these types of creatures that are one of few races that can change into human forms or a fusion of both their race and human, as well as their true form. They are also classified into three categories: Balance, White, and Dark. Balance is a mixture of pure potential as they are extremely rare as they can use four specific elements to start out with as well as knowing some spells and abilities from both white and dark sides of their race. White versions are considered both medics as well as some weapons experts with their powers, while Dark types are considered brute forced on attacks as well as able to use mostly managing spells as well for a few rarest, some white magic for healing or strengthen their powers of both attack and defense. It is also rare to pass down the same type to their child, and one of which is considered royalty slightly by the last name of Dragoni, like me, as they and a few others, managed this. Despite being a half-blood from that, all females like in secret from the Veela race, are fully Astral Dragonix."
Elena was amused now as it showed on her face, as their jaws dropped somewhat as well as wide eyes at her from her explanation to what she was, yet Elena then gave them a sad smile as she decided to change the subject, as some painful memories briefly showed while she spoke to what she was in her vision briefly, about her two parents that is. "Now back to the true matter at hand everyone, the club we worked for, for so long, is known as the Society of Darkness to which it used to be known as if your read you history books girls," she gave a pointed look at the two known girls in the room to do so, to which they nodded at her as if they had a suspicion yet didn't seem prepared as their eyes quickly widened at what it used to be called from Elena's own words. "The Radiant Guild."
Since Mia was for once stunned about known knowledge yet didn't expect this, Selene answered for her as she was amused for once at Mia's face, glancing at her briefly though before mainly looking to Elena as she also crossed her arms under her to her embarrassment, inwardly that is, growing chest. "So this Society of Darkness used to be the famed Radiant Guild Club then, Elena?" She nodded as Elena then furrowed her eyebrows as she also responded to her question with some part of explanation yet more questions within her own words to the teen girl. "Yes, but it has been The SoD for at least twenty or so years yet I joined as well as Stag to protect my friend, Lily Evans, as she knew I was already soul-mated to her daughter beforehand as Dumbledore saw to it she was blocked from me, and I was declared not only her Mate, but Protector by Magic in case anything ends up going wrong."
Mostly everyone agreed with the female as they knew he did some things, but not what he had to do to do so, that is until Zeras with a smirk on her face as well as a firm agreeing on the nod to the girl from Elena, gave the folder to Pinkie.
Confused, she opened it and when she briefly read said contents, her hair slowly yet quickly went flat as her friends carefully backed up as a result to this as they experienced this version of Pinkie before and haven't seen this side of her for quite some time. She kept reading on and on, her eyes in anger and she then after a few minutes of suddenly closing her eyes in both anger and sadness, gave the folder to Twilight as, despite her darker side coming out, Pinkie then began to weep to herself.
Twilight was concerned as at the moment, Discord suddenly though appeared in a flashing display, with a suite on his torso as well as Pink Daisy's in his lion's paw hand, which was considered Pinkie's favorite flower, paused as he looked at Pinkie's state as she was still crying softly after what she read in the folder. "Mind explaining as to why my wife is upset at this point as well as to let her darker half to come out?" He asked everyone sternly, ignoring the four newcomers as his gaze was mostly on Pinkie's form, as he went over and comforted his wife who despite the dark aura around her frame, gave him a small sad smile and when he gave her his gift of her favorite flowers, her hair slowly began to go halfway to being poufy and flat as she also silently thanked him for it.
Twilight seemed to be angry yet also in shock as she kept reading on and on within a genius timeframe of five minutes, as she can speed-read quickly and when Twilight was done, firmly closed the folder as she then despite her intentions, handed the folder to him, making him look at said folder, then to her and Pinkie before shrugging, and when he opened it he was shocked after only reading within five minutes.
The others were concerned as Twilight began to explain quietly to them, making them either gasp or seemed outraged as to what the old fool's plans were as well as this Society of Darkness's intentions to mostly Harley, but others as well. But it didn't cover all their plans.
For you see, Elena, as well as Stag, was only able to get what plans they could get as they were outed not too long ago as traitors to the club, which is a serious offense unlike in the past. If that happened and if they were captured, they were to be killed or kept as unwilling slaves. If they were able to have at least two minutes more, then they would have seen the plans to Malik's partner has, his true partner's that is. Of course, it was lucky that they weren't chased down by now, unknown to the two the orders to capture them was halted by the club leader, Malik, with a knowing gleam in his eyes.
Anyways off topic.
Discord then gave the folder back to Zeras, as he did a double take as if he could recognize her, yet not at the same time. Zeras noticed as she then sadly smiled at the Draconequus as she then mouthed to him, meet me with Pinkie later, and he mutely nodded.
Aeroza then stated with a look to Discord before looking at everyone else then. "Now let me explain some things as you would likely want to know what the current threats are." And so he did, and also after an hour or two long explanations, they asked him questions as he answered honestly as it was mostly about his world as well as his story.. well some of it that are that he decided to mention, to the red-eyed look of Fluttershy, but Pinkie then asked hesitantly to him, with him looking at her now. "If you're either our Great or Regular Uncle, and most of your kids are our cousins, what did you mean earlier of 'Harley's Heritage?'"
"I knew you would bring that up, but I wanted to let you all know, that I will not discuss this topic out in the open, despite that your either her kin, friends, or mates." There were some beginning objections to this, but he raised his hand up and they suddenly froze at the sudden and yet hard to breath pressure they all suddenly felt, except his daughter; Zeras, and Xion as if they felt this before, and then firmly told them all then, "Now," he calmly lowered his arm he used as Aeroza then continued after placing his gloved hands together, on his lap as he was still sitting, "This is only a topic I must discuss with Pinkie as well as Harley, alone, as I will be telling them about some parts of their history, and it is for the best if they tell you what I tell them when ready."
Everyone along with Pinkie seemed hesitant at his words, but had no choice to leave that topic as he suddenly got a look on his face as well as a now mirth-like gleam to his eyes. Aeroza now randomly stated to himself aloud once more to hear him. "It seems they are done. But Harley is passed out as a result." They all blushed as well as Mia, Xion, and Selene as she unknowingly once again as a bad habit now, touched her developing child. Everyone now knowing what he meant as he then stood up, and also conjured a portal and without words, he left them as it also closed behind, with everyone having no way to even follow him if they wanted to.
Zeras though looked to Discord firmly, as he now understood this might be the time she wanted, and head motioned to the door, he began to float to it as he has been doing so the entire time, but paused as Pinkie looked to him with a look that meant, where are you going, and he only mouthed as everyone was briefly discussing as well as the other two girls and Iris getting to know Xion more, 'Please come with me Pinkie'.
Pinkie sighed as her hair was back to normal yet she felt for some reason, her darker side was suddenly giggling in her mind; as if it might know what might be happening next yet refused to even let her know. It was as if it suddenly became something more then she uses that part of herself when angered or as such anymore as well.
Once the three left the room, they were surprised that as they looked at the clock, well mostly on Pinkie's face, that it was only two minutes of them entering Aeroza's chambers from his classroom before they left. Making Pinkie also confused as to how they came into his room then later on into his classroom as a new result.
Zeras though gave them both now a knowing look, going to sit in her fathers conjured seat for his classes as she casually leaned into it as well, looking at them both mainly as she did so. "Dad's chambers freezes time somewhat, depending on his needs that is. More than likely he sent both your sister and her mate to a room as such, connected to his room that is to let her... Condition out if you both still get it. To also your thinking of how you came from one area after entering to the next, his door connects to places he places said door at, simple and easy." They only nodded as Pinkie blushed once again at the intention of her words from what she mentioned about her sister.
Zeras sighed then as she also looked to be in an inner debate over something. She then gestured for them to both sit to their surprise, conjured chairs like Aeroza does. They did just that as Zeras seemed to be over her inner debate as she then began to speak to them both, a kind yet small smile on her features now, "Now the reason I asked for you to specifically, is my origins, which you might find odd. Yet I can clearly tell you already experienced things as such."
Pinkie was about to say something until Zeras like Aeroza does, held up a hand as she gave her a stern yet kind look on her face as she was also still smiling small, and then stated calmly to her, "Now please wait until I am finished, please, before asking a millions of questions in one breath, Pinkie." Pinkie huffed at the girl playfully, earning a small brief chuckle from her husband at her playful antics.
Zeras coughed into her own hand as Aeroza does, as they knew to expect some same manners as she is his daughter, smiled at them as Zeras began to explain now, looking mostly at for some reason, at Discord, while doing so. "Now to my origins as this is why I wanted you Pinkie here as well, since you're my cousin and all, I thought you deserved to know firsthand." She sighed once again as Zeras briefly raised her head upwards then looked at them both as she lowered it to gaze right at them, telling them truthfully with also being honest yet from what they could tell somewhat in her tone, nervous for some reason. "Now you know my name, but not my parents, mostly my Mother, correct?" She only got a single nod from them both as she then spoke some more, "My Father, of course, is Aeroza, but my Mother died at birth like most of her 'Reincarnations' did and some were able to live for quite some time. A curse from what Dad told me that was also placed upon my Mom's soul, so to speak, yet he has not found out a way still after all these years to get rid of it, so he can place her half-soul into the reincarnated version. For you see," it was then they noticed Zeras was now gently tugging at her shirt as she was indeed nervous when it came to telling this part from what they could briefly tell, "My Mom was a clone of sorts; Making me have an aunt who is only at the age of thirteen as yet her clone was at the forced age of twenty-one or two. You see Discord," Zeras looked to him mainly now as he was curious as to what clone her mother was, but froze stiff as Pinkie looked to Zeras in surprise then as well from the teen girl's words to him now. "My Mother's clone was your only sibling, your half-sister, Sparkle."
Discord, to what Zeras saw as she was inwardly giggling in her mind yet seemed truly nervous now as Zeras also knew he was currently using his own Chaos Magic at this very moment to truly display his emotions, had his jaw dropped literally on the ground, and Pinkie, being the nice wife she is as she was both in humor yet also in minor shock at what Zeras told him, gently picked his jaw up, and then tapped it gently at the same time. It then quickly went back to being normal, giving his wife a minor thankful look as they both saw his eyes were still registering to what Zeras told him.
"How? Where did you find her?" Discord began to state random questions a minute as Zeras gave him a wide-eyed, stern-like glare, also making him stop quickly as he recognized it when he was in trouble by his wife; despite her minor chuckles of her being amused. Zeras was able to make him quiet down like she does. "To answer your random yet same questions Discord… Or should I say, Uncle Discord that is," She began with a smirk on her face at her new title she just dubbed to him, making him huff playfully at her with a tongue sticking out, as Pinkie understood to what Zeras might say was going to be serious, yet she held in her laughter for later on as Zeras began to speak. "If your recalled time being on your side, it was literally within the building I as well as the rest of my half-siblings and dad got into as we saved most of what we could, Aunty included. She was kept into some kind of stasis spell of sorts that kept her the same age all her life, yet they were only able to, from what we read on the files we stole from said base, before Dad… did something to it like he always does when we encounter any new or older sites."
Seeing both Pinkie and Discord was not only interested, but confused by what she meant, Zeras then sated in a deadpanned tone yet mixed with minor humor as she had a recollection as such in her eyes to them, looking up briefly while doing so with a hand to her chin. "He made sure the ones not tainted by the darkness; tainted darkness from the enemy we fight most times, the Corruptions, is in the building, and then... blows it up as all that would be left would be not only ash with confetti of sorts."
Pinkie gave her a real look as Discord only chuckled in half-humor yet also had his eyes gazed at her once again as if to continue, to which she noticed and then sighed at to herself. "Anyways, Aunty is still currently in stasis for some reason as when dad ran a scan spell on your half-sister, Uncle, we found out it was a modified spell." Pinkie as she was now curious as to what she meant, asked before Discord could, tilting her head slightly to the side while doing so as she was now instinctively comforting him, "What was different than any other spells then?" Zeras sighed as she then told him, making him go wide eyed at her as she also hesitated for a few moments while doing so, looking away from their gazes at her briefly while speaking with her arms now crossed under her chest, "The… spell was modified to make her only awaken once her true-soul was found and either kissed her onto the lips, or a situation as her true-soul would touch her briefly with minor amounts of energy of sorts from them. The accidental energy that is."
"Yes and I somewhat know who her mate is as I also sent your sister, Sakura, to observe her on the world she lives on, Zeras." Stated Aeroza as he made the three jump briefly as he suddenly showed up out of nowhere behind the two adults. Pinkie gave him a heated-yet-not-really-glare on her face to the man, and Discord from his powers, comically had a spring heart like in old cartoons coming out of his chest, with a door flap showing as said heart moved up and down in a rapid beat of sorts before he placed it himself back into his chest, and closed that flap as he glared playfully at Aeroza, who only smirked in response as Discord then muttered to himself quietly as well, "Well played old timer."
Aeroza then stated to them all, with a gentle look on his face yet his smirk on his features changed into that instead of a smug one, crossing his arms as he sat in his seat with Zeras now sitting in her own next to him. "Harley might be passed out for some time as… Sunset is considered a full-fledged woman now. Yet inexperienced they were, I felt it was at least for me to say she may or may not be pregnant like Selene. As one little tiny information I forgot to mention is that there is a 50/50 chance if that happens, then to what happened with Selene. That was a low chance as when she gets older, it increases." Pinkie glared at him yet sighed as she knew the risks; as she went into that easily with Discord once they married, as if it forced her to do so while in human form... And that is how Screwball came to be on their honeymoon week.
"So is my cousin going to be able to do her task that is coming up soon then, or not, Dad?" Zeras asked him suddenly, making the three look to her as he only shrugged back at Zeras in response, yet told the three easily with honesty in his tone of voice, "Yes she might be able to as the regenerative properties are now in her stream, working on healing her thoroughly as it does once our gene activates." Aeroza saw the two couples looks at him as he simply stated then, making a gesture as well while doing so, "I will just simply give you a book on our race, the Harmonians, as well to see what signs or what you might expect to see that might be happening in the near future for either you, Harley, or any adopted by blood or born by blood in the future." Pinkie and Discord only gave Aeroza a nod, and he simply stated firmly to them yet with a kind smile on his face, "Good."
It was then mostly everyone talked to themselves since Aeroza and Zeras was talking with the couple. Selene and Mia got to know slightly on some things with Xion, despite her being a game character to her surprise in this world.
Twilight went with the other girls as they decided to do their projects they were given or help with by the current staff, and Aeroza dismissed all the chairs and told them he would speak tomorrow as he was now alone with Sunset; as she looked hesitant yet nervous at the same time.
Discord went with Zeras so he could find out if they missed anything as such as they only used a minor scan on Sparkle, and told Pinkie he would be back after the task.
Harley was teleported to her chambers as she was still passed out, but a relieved look on her face and Selene and Mia went to the library as Aeroza gave them both a slip of paper as well as a title to a book, to their curiosity and minor blush for some reason, quickly left.
Iris though went back to study some more as she was in Advanced Runes, and Professor Sinistra was no pushover despite her being one of the few she considers one of her favorite students.
Aeroza gave Sunset a look since she looked hesitant, yet mostly looking away at his gaze as he then gently sighed to her, and only hand motioned for her to sit on his bed. She complied stiffly as Sunset was still sore down below to her minor blush from what transpired not too long ago with her and Harley.
Aeroza then made another chair for himself, and sat in front of her, giving her a look as Sunset sighed as she then asked him carefully, since Sunset knew everyone was now out and about. "Ca-Can you scan me like you stated? I J-Just want to make sure I'm not-" She began to ask him, as he then held up his hand. Aeroza then gave her a gentle yet an also all-knowing look on his face to the teen, and then stated to what she might have been asking then to Sunset's minor surprise, "You want to make sure you not like Selene at the moment, correct?" Sunset Shimmer only nodded dumbly to the man, who briefly laughed to himself before she saw his hand glowed a yellowish-blue mixed energy of sorts before he stated a spell to which she shivered for as it went from her head to her feet before the chill was then gone, "Scanaja."
He was surprised at the results and then furrowed his brows as he noticed she seemed worried at his reaction, and stated gently to her, that was also in minor confusion mixed with curiosity Sunset could clearly tell from his voice. "You're not knocked-up yet also are, Miss Shimmer. It is as if your unborn child is frozen within you yet also not inside you, at the same time." She froze at this as thoughts Aeroza could tell from his ability was mostly about her and the unborn child in her, as well as what this all means. He now raised his hand up stopping Sunset from her thoughts as he gave her a brief look and then seemed to be looking at her in total curiosity now.
Aeroza then stated, his hand going to his chin as well, briefly looking upwards before glancing back at her form. "What is strange is that your body is also going through changes as I noticed on Mia and Selene; Despite her being pregnant the changes isn't affecting her child at all. It is as if, after either tonight or tomorrow's night, you from what I scanned from your body might go through a change of sorts. To what I do not know, but I do know you will be able to meet with Harley on the morrow as she only as one day left afterwards to do a final test of sorts by me, as well as knowing what drake she might be facing. It might be after your new change my dear, you will indeed be like Selene."
Sunset looked to him wide-eyed yet yawned to her surprise as she didn't feel tired, and he only gave Sunset another knowing look with him now stating, causing her to blush as he had a grin on his features mixed with that look now, "The reason your tired Sunset is from what transpired recently, but your body is also forcing you soon to sleep as well. My advice in case you have more changes on a physical scale tonight is to sleep alone, and in the buff." Sunset now gave him a bewildered look as if to say, you want me to do that, and he only nodded to her as to what he said next made her worry as Sunset knew for some strange reason something like this might happen. Mixed with minor shock in her eyes as if she wanted to not let anyone know as such of who she truly was, "Your species might be fused as of tonight or a random night as well my dear, with your human self, making you an Alicorn, yet you will indeed know when the time comes of course, instinct perhaps?"
Sunset gave him a brief look as he was unsure about that, but then told her with a small gentle smile yet all-knowing look still on his face. "You may not know this, but you already became one when you saved that little girls life a long while ago. But do you want to know where that girl currently is Sunset?" She looked to him carefully, but then asked as Sunset recalled the little girl with it only being a year ago she did that, "You know how she is then?" He nodded, and gave her a grim smile to which she felt a chill in her spine now from his look, "She lived from what happened to her Sunset, but she along with her mother was recently taken to a facility that I saved one of my daughter's from, and they were both experimented on changing them from being ordinary humans, to something else. They are though, currently living on my created world; New Harmonis, as a happy family as it took five months or so for her mother to get over her husbands forced death they both witnessed at that place. But other than that, she is doing fine. In fact , I might bring them here later on so you can speak to them as well as see... what those fools have done to them as well, since there wasn't anything I could do at that time... Or possibly when a certain trip comes up."
Sunset nodded numbly then, but despite her new emotion at this moment for the girl she saved from being ran over by a bus, she then yawned again as she now looked sheepish, and he only gave her a smirk in response. Sunset also thought briefly to what he meant by the trip but placed that to the back of her mind as her concerns of that of her unborn child within her still.
Now standing up then as he only motioned to his bed, "You may rest here for now Sunset and before you object, I barely need to sleep as I can choose when to sleep, eat, drink, or mostly anything I can as well as have for a long time." Sunset then sighed as she did what he stated she could do for a while, and quickly passed out, as Aeroza chuckled as he knew how tired she truly was, as he also brought them both back twelve or so minutes before he began speaking with his daughter, and Harley's sibling and her mate Discord.
Aeroza then sighed as he looked to her form once again, seeing some of his past friends blood from what he could clearly tell as Sunset looks just like her, knowing she might be her descendent, he began to think to himself as Aeroza covered the girl with a conjured blankets of sorts, before leaving the room. I think I should give her that gemstone that belonged to her later on... eventually, and to see if she is worthy enough to use it.
Harley's POV; Harley and Mates Dorm Chambers, In the early morning:
I woke up quickly with a small fright yet I relaxed as I then saw I was somehow in my dorm room, and not the place I scarcely recalled in that horrid nightmare I just had, which as strangely enough, I couldn't recall any of it.
I now saw to my surprise, that one girl I can hardly recall…. Xion was her name right, was currently sleeping on my right side of the bed, and I then also blushed somewhat as I saw her holding onto my hand.
I then sighed to myself as I then felt the troublesome duo were filled once again, but less to my minor confusion, yet I also felt my body was sore all over for some reason as well, to which I only shrugged to myself briefly without words. I also slowly went to the bathroom and then did my normal business, but I sniffed the air while I did so as I was also now confused as to why I smell different yet smell the same, at the same time.
My nightmare from what I began to somewhat recall now though, was very horrid as I then shivered to myself. Sunset was in it, and I somehow knew she was stabbed but where I didn't know, as it was a shadow-like image of myself doing so as I was currently fighting against something as well while that happened, making me go berserk for some reason, and I woke up after that. The other part of that nightmare was her living yet being crippled as a result, with her being saddened all the time in secret about not using her legs.
I recently found out and slightly kept it a secret a few weeks or so ago: I can smell everything as well as someone's scent.
For some reason my eyebrows furrowed as I thought I could somewhat recognize the current scent that was currently all over me since I also then got dressed into my outfit once again. I tend to wear the same outfit for at least a week or so before changing; knowing most of the students also do this here at the castle, as they get theirs or by their own cleaned charmed spells.
I got my shirt over my large chest, blushing as it was sensitive for some reason; as it was somewhat ticklish as well, and I then grabbed my brush I left yesterday in here and began to once again brush my hair, knowing I need to trim it once again. I can barely recall what mostly happened yesterday. For some reason... I think I enjoyed it as well as I can recall what Aeroza said. But why tell me and Pinkie now instead the time we first met? I sighed to myself then as I also briefly looked to my mirror, seeing I was still my current self, yet I knew for some reason I did something yesterday, yet I also barely recalled it.
After I came out, I froze as I now also gazed at Xion, who did the same as well. I saw she was probably waking up just now, and the girl then gave me a sheepish smile as well as stating to me with a kind look in her eyes; seeing Xion was holding something in her left hand and saw it was my personal black dog toy I had when I was an infant, thanks to my sister telling me it was a gift from my godfather, Sirius Black.
"Hey… Harley. Good morning?" I could tell she was unsure at the moment as I recalled Xion as well as some other female was now a mate to me, but I gave her a small smile on my own face in return as I only shrugged back also, not seeing her blushing briefly as my chest moved, "It's a somewhat great morning, despite only us here… Where are my two other mates and Iris?" I asked her then, seeing or smelling briefly with my nose that they didn't show up at all from what I had to guess, last night, with only my scent and Xion's as she for some reason, smelled of a mixture of cinnamon mixed with blueberries.
Xion now shrugged her own shoulders back. She then also titled her head, seeing the well-made beds of the other three girls and then looked back to me, and was also about to say something until Xion suddenly froze as my two snake familiars were slithering around her waist and shoulders, thus making me giggle at her quick reaction.
I then gently grabbed them with my own hands, and they only curled around my arms and to our surprise also, they grinned at me and without them hissing a word to me at the same time, sank into my skin; stunning myself as well as making Xion look to them as they did so, and then to my arms in minor confusion.
Xion then asked me hesitantly, now going up as I saw they were now living-tattoos on my arms now that also moved all over my body. "Well, I didn't know snake familiars could do that... but why you have snakes?" I shook my head briefly as I thought I saw both my snakes hiss in silent amusement at me as well as Xion then from our faces, yet I sense they were now on my skin for protection of sorts, which I might ask later on to either Aunt Twilight, or Aeroza about. I shrugged again and told her how I got them.
Needless to say, despite our first time actually meeting me, was comfortable around her yet now amused, as Xion had her jaw dropped at some parts mixed with true concern in her orbs at my own gaze to her. When I was done, Xion looked like she was about to ask a second question until the door was knocked. I looked at her in sudden apology for some odd reason now and looked to the door not seeing her look disappointed yet now also curious as to who it was.
I then asked the person at the other side of the door, "Yes, who is it?" I was somewhat relieved as it was a familiar voice coming from the other side, yet she seemed hesitant for some reason as well, "Can I come in Harley? I need to speak to you about something." It was Sunset Shimmer, My Blaze.
I opened the door for her now as My Blaze looked at me strangely since I didn't know why she is. Though when she saw Xion, Sunset froze briefly, but I thought she then sighed inwardly to herself and only gave said girl a look to which Xion only shrugged to her back, as if it wasn't a big deal. Xion then got up and before Sunset could speak to me, yet at the same time, she surprised me. Xion quickly kissed me on the lips, and also then quickly took off; seeing Sunset was stunned yet was also confused as I was about her actions.
Sunset now then sighed as she then gave me another hesitant look yet I also thought I saw in her eyes, a mixture of emotions to which I couldn't tell, as they were quickly then gone as Sunset also had a kind look to them now, motioning to the bed to which I sat down gently, and her doing as well. I then asked her, curious as to why she wanted to speak to me right now so early as I saw on the clock, it was at least 6:32AM, "What is it My Blaze?" Sunset then blushed briefly of the main nickname I called her now and sighed as she then told me from what I barely recalled, stunned and also made me now regret it.
What we did last night in a room Aeroza… No Uncle Aeroza if I can now remember as last night was slowly coming back to me as well as I blushed, seeing as Sunset saw it easily since she unknowingly and gently, grabbed my left-hand, and then held it. I furrowed my eyebrows after My Blaze was done, as well as seeing Sunset was also waiting for my questions to start now, and I asked her firstly out of all of them, seeing her eyes now be relieved yet also seeing my regretful look to her mixed with concern, as if she didn't deserve me. "Did I hurt you... I can briefly recall some of it, but not all of it as my mind was very hazy, Sunset."
She blushed then yet gently told me honestly, seeing I looked away at her after I said that, grabbed my face gently, and then made me look to her eyes as My Blaze then had a firm yet gentle look on her face when she spoke to me now, making me form small amounts of tears in my eyes yet also, blinked them away, "No you didn't cause me harm. You were actually kind and gentle." I raised an eyebrow in minor confusion as Sunset also giggled, and then stated to me casually yet I also saw slight amusement with a hint of something else in her eyes, mixed with love as well then. "Yet I have to admit, afterwards on our second time... You were good; like a goddess, I hate to admit."
I blushed then as Sunset now gave me a small smirk with also amusement in her eyes still as she began to giggle again, making me laugh slightly with her as well but then we stopped after a few moments as we then talked back and forth, since I was somewhat now stunned My Blaze was like Selene, yet different making me confused truly. Though we both only shrugged as we need to ask my new Uncle, as to why this was. Mostly me as she when I don't notice, seemed to already know why.
Sunset then helped me get around though, despite myself seeing her now. Even if Sunset was limping, she told me it was a good limp, making her smirk once again as I also blushed again as well from what she meant, and we then left.
We gathered Xion, who was grinning from ear to ear, so to speak as if she knew what we talked about somehow, yet decided to not say anything, as we were now heading to the Great Hall for breakfast. We then without warning, bumped into Mia and Selene, as they were carrying a stack of books in each of their arms, not to my surprise, but their looks of almost frustration then changed to quick happiness as I was then hugged; almost making me wince as I was still slightly sore, yet my pain was slowly going away. Behind them was also Lavender as she to our surprise, was helping them yet unlike the two, she probably had her stack of books charmed to be light.
Selene was recently told by both Fluttershy as well as Pomphrey to our shock; her body would have the child early, around a few more months or so, yet says from another surprise, My moon could lift anything without consequences. At the moment her belly area is harder as diamonds, until she gives birth, and was currently the size of a half-watermelon. From what they scanned of her, Selene has at least two more months to go. I as well as most all the adults, don't know what's going on with her and a few other's bodies, and yet they can't tell as to why, but I strongly felt for some reason as well, it has to do with me and the soul-bond we all share.
Selene grunted as she has to from being both weak and also strong at the same time, while bending now, and helped me as well as Mia who simply gave me a look of apology at first before I saw relieved looks on their faces. Selene then hugged me, crying silently now as I sighed to myself, knowing her hormones are still out of it briefly, with the other girls deadpanning to themselves over her emotions out of whack. Yet they understood as currently, they have half of all my proportions at the moment, yet they were only a few inches taller than they were previously.
Mia now asked me though, as I saw them both wearing for some reason, their bracelets once again to make them look like the normal versions of themselves in which I just noticed, making my tail twitch somewhat in minor confusion over this, but ask why later as with concern in her eyes yet still a half-happy mixed relieved look on her face, picking up the books as Mia for some reason also found out she can easily carry the total amount they have, in total of very heavy weighted books with ease. "You ok now Gem?" Her nickname for me was something she thought up by accident a week ago on our free period yet it also stuck, as all my girls now call me that sometimes now, besides My Sweet.
I nodded my head gently at her with a minor tilt to a silent question to Selene, as I also saw a brief look of jealousy quickly wash over her as she then smelled Sunset carefully with her also helping Mia out, despite her sore body. Yet I also saw minor acceptance as it was me I had to guess still as my mind was very hazy and also still confused from last night. "She was reading her books as usual at the library Harley, yet this time her emotions were too overbearing as she got for the first time ever since we got here a minor warning."
I wasn't surprised as I gently patted her on the back with from what I saw, Lavender, only observing us yet gave My Moon sympathetic looks, and Selene was now only sniffling. I quietly asked her then, briefly looking down at her while I did so, with Sunset and Mia now carrying all the books in their arms as Sunset also gave Mia a look for later with a silent nod to her own head at Sunset, yet Lavender's she decided to carry as I knew she must still be looking up not only things about the locket now, but her schoolwork she needs to catch up on. "You feel better now My Moon?" Selene in return briefly looked upwards to me before putting her head on my middle and wordlessly nodded as we all then walked into the Great Hall after Mia shrunken all the books they were carrying, and then placed them for now into my bag on my shoulders, and entered the hall.
Things from what we saw were now quiet at first, then they the students, besides our house table as well as my current mates at our house table once again, began to speak to one another. I saw my family or kin-pack to my minds confusion, were giving me grateful looks of true relief as they began to discuss from what I had to guess, school stuff. I did see to once again, Moody drank from that silver flask of his from his coat, and for once Discord was feeding Pinkie as she winked and opened her mouth as she ate a strawberry pancake with caramel drizzle.
Once we sat down, I noticed most of our house was not here in the hall or at our table; just my mates and a few upper years I haven't got a chance to know yet, and I then asked curiously to the seventh year, Penelope Clearwater, who only looked to me while she was about to eat a blueberry muffin from her somewhat light breakfast, "Where are the younger girls, Clearwater?" She gently shrugged as she now took a bite of her muffin, chewed and then swallowed before answering to me honestly with some of the others nearby agreeing with her; as she was named one of the four prefects our house has and was transferred only eight days ago by the castles decree with a few others, for an unknown yet not told reason as of yet, "Moody assigned them a year-house project as they have to get it done by the end of the first task, which they held off until now."
I didn't notice lavender's brief wide-eyed look to her words, yet when I briefly glanced to the girl, she quickly grabbed things and began to eat.
I looked to Penelope with interest as Selene then helped to herself with a minor shake in my head at, a Peanut Butter and Sweet and Sour Sauced Omelet, grabbing my specific type of doughnuts I liked as they were up today and onto my plate, "What project is that then?" Pansy as she was for once to my surprise, reading the Daily Prophet as well as eating an Apple Fritter since she swallowed her food before answering me; before Penelope could, "I'm not sure, but he told them it was about some dark creatures as he refused to use for once, to give them the lessons he has been now giving recently." She then shuddered to herself at the end of her words as well as few others like Lavender, making me look to her as well as the others, as my mates and I were not part of his current class at all from the get-go, as we were part of my new Uncles, to which I was thankful wasn't announced yet to the entire castle. "What lessons Pansy, to make you shiver like that for then?"
What my cousin then stated stunned not only myself, but froze Mia as from what I could tell, was craving cream like all cat Neko's tend to have in her bowl of a mixed version of frosted and chocolate flakes and was also about to take a bite from her spoonful. Selene was chewing, and then swallowed before giving my cousin a stunned look as well as myself, looking at her in minor disbelieve. So did most of the housemates yet I saw they flinched at her words as if they were true.
"He assigned them to research on myths and legends of the fabled 'Shadowed-Ones' as well as the fabled 'Silver-Strikers'," Pansy did the hand quotations on those two names to us as she then continued, after taking another bite of her own food, "He also assigned them as extra credit to research for some reason as well; positive ways and the negative on the most commonly used charms we have, but mostly one charm or spell of course. But to those higher than us…. well, he has for some reason been using the two out of the three unforgivable curses in class, and making us also resist it for some odd reason."
I then now asked her as Lavender shuddered since she must of went through that by him, as I knew the teen girl has his class as well as mostly everyone, and those curses that he was using were illegal, but I wondered why Moody from what I read from his famed reputation wanted to do that to his own students in that class of theirs, gestured as he was currently talking to Applejack and she now huffed angrily at him in return to what he might of said to my aunt, "How long has he been doing this for cousin?"
Pansy now thought about it, then shrugged as Pansy ate another bite of her food and then swallowed before speaking, gesturing to him with a blush on her face, "I don't know, but he has been making us do some embarrassing things like forcing me for example, to dance." Now I was curious as to why she blushed at herself, it was just simple dancing he made her do as such, right? But I was out-asked before I could ask her myself as to why, by Sunset as she seemed concerned over something with her eyebrows furrowed, her leaning next to me as she sat with me this time for breakfast, "What kind of dancing he made you do then Pansy?" She only sighed as Pansy looked hesitant as well, but only motioned for My Blaze to come to her, to which she inwardly groaned as she did indeed get up to come to her, and Pansy now whispered into her ear, and Sunset then went wide eyed after she was done, making her look to her in minor disbelieve as well as silently looking at her as if to say, really? Pansy only nodded briefly as she looked to me and mouthed later.
Lavender then stated to us then, making us look to her as she blushed, embarrassed I had to guess as I also then looked at Moody weirdly from the girls own words then, before looking back to her in are you serious look. "He made me lick not only a few toads... Bleh, but made me get covered in spiders... to say I'm afraid of them now." I now asked her then to which she swallowed her food while doing so after taking another bite, changing the subject as I also saw most of the students didn't want to talk about it anymore as I only pointed to her stack of books now. "What's with the books though Lav. You usually don't do school work at all from what I knew as you secretly tend to do them at night?" I got to know the teen a little more as also when we hang out at the mall before the incident happens, of course, she also told me Lavender secretly does all her school work at night while mostly everyone's asleep.
To my surprise Lavender only sighed as she also glanced at everyone before responding to me gently, seeing not only by me, but everyone she must still be tired as hell for what I think, staying up all night as once again since she was still wearing the same clothes from last night. "I forgot to do my school work as I had to look into a book Mr. V gave me yesterday, and I need to get this last work done for Moody. Otherwise, he might make me get covered in spiders again." At the end of her statement she made to which I frowned, she shivered once again. But I was curious about what book she was talking about as was the rest of us. before I could ask her what book, the doors were rudely swung opened then. As mostly everyone looked at the direction of the doors to see who it was. They also hit a random girl from the HufflePuff Dorm.
I saw it was Aeroza and I was surprised as we then noticed he wasn't here at all for breakfast, but I was now frozen as I saw my cousin Zeras as well as the man himself, holding two specific girls I clearly know. Mia only gasped at the sight as well as most of the students. I glimpsed briefly at my sister as she quickly paled and then hurried to him as in his arms was my niece, Screwball, and in Zeras's, was Fluttershy's and Rainbow Dash's daughter, Harmony. In fact, I also then saw Aeroza, as well as the other three, we're pretty scratched up as well as they have minor damage to their clothes, but he were less yet his cloak seems to be scorched, but only slightly.
I got up despite Tonks's now loud yelling to tell the students to settle down as I was next to my sister within moments; my tails waving in twitching movements and I quickly said sorry to the random girl once again as I accidently knocked her down, not paying attention to her looks at the moment as Pinkie stated firmly yet loudly as she also seemed worried since they were both passed out, "What the hay happened Aeroza? Why do they look like this?"
I jumped only briefly at a hand to arm contact from Xion, who only gave me a understanding yet slightly grim smile as she now looked closely at the two younger girls, and the others came to me then as they were only silent, as well as Lavender as she gaped as she dropped her work at their forms since I also saw she quickly gathered her items to join us. But I felt as well as them for some reason, confusion as well as minor anger, as my own eyes briefly changed red and then back to my own eye color for, to which both my Uncle (Aeroza) and Zeras noticed yet said nothing as he only led us to the hallway, the doors shutting tightly as I heard the staff was trying to get the students to calm down or telling them to be silent or other things as we were then quickly heading to the hospice wing.
Though before that Lavender asked if we could talk later, as, despite the situation, I quickly told her a yes as she then hurried to the classroom to keep doing her work.
It took us at least for some reason, five minutes or so as we weren't paying attention, and we saw Pomphrey with her having two hospice beds ready as well as made for the two girls, and both Zeras and Aeroza then placed the two girls down. They both moaned unknowingly to themselves in minor pain as their scratches were touched.
I sat next to Pinkie now, as I was as well as she, were in-between the two girls, as they for some reason laid them in beds that were next to each other. Zeras helped the nurse witch on healing salves as they both began to place them over the cuts, but before they did that they were scanned by Aeroza quickly as he then frowned to himself I noticed.
I was holding onto my cousin's hand while Pinkie held onto her daughters also as Aeroza stated to us all, after thinking for a few minutes to himself first, before deciding to say anything. "It would seem there isn't anything to worry about that is fatal, but to let you all currently here know, those two were attacked to which both Zeras and I, defeated said creatures that took them out of my class." I only gave him a look now as I also patted with my free hand on Pinkie's back, making Pinkie wince as I also muttered a sorry to her at my patting. Of course, they were somewhat hard parts without meaning to, as I have secretly been trying to control my own strength; as when it comes to my emotions as such right now as I tend to unknowingly let loose (Accidentally), my hold on said strength.
I looked to uncle then as before I could ask my question I looked at Xion quickly now, a stunned look on my face as I was thinking that as well as was going to say it. She was leaning against the wall on the opposite side of Screwball, looking at me briefly before looking to him, with her arms now crossed under her chest, as we saw her wearing that very strange, yet familiar black cloak once again around her frame. "I take it somehow they got into the castle's wards, since I could tell, Aeroza, they haven't been updated yet?" My uncle confirmed her answer by simply nodding his head as he was now also channeling that strange magic-like aura he does, as it was like the Cure Spell in color on Screwball first since she began to slowly heal from said magic, the lotion-like potion Pomphrey created herself to quickly heal students as such as well; healing her slowly yet all the way.
"Yes, for some reason they seemed to have been summoned as well as lured to do as many random things like damaged goods, or attacking as possible on the floor these two were taken to. Luckily it was only a scouting group as well as a few knight types we dealt with." Aeroza then began working now on Harmony, with the same results in play from what we all saw.
Aeroza now wiped his forehead as he was briefly sweating while I had to set the nurse down and use my Chaos Magic to summon a glass of ice water, to which she seemed briefly surprised yet gave me a look for later. She then downed it in one gulp and then to our surprise, she also passed out as I quickly caught the glass with one of my tails, and gently sat it next to the nurse on her desk.
Aeroza then chuckled as we saw him giving Pomphrey a small yet amused look on his face before he now looked to us for a few brief moments, as he also then sighed; casting charms around the two younger girl's beds so they can be comfy yet safe. "It wouldn't surprise me one bit at all from her reserves, as she used most of them up to pass out as such. Good thinking on the water though kiddo." My uncle stated to me after he finished speaking, giving me a playful smirk, and I only nodded. I saw Xion was about to ask me something as I could tell from her look to me, but she was interrupted on doing so when the door opened.
When it opened normally, Mia came in with a deeply mixed look of being both excited as she held that book Aeroza gave her, yet seemed to be in a minor grim mood. She also closed the door back as My Books made me look to her in concern; my tails swaying gently on the floor while doing so as well as my body now moved somewhat to cause her to blush again, yet she quickly got rid of it as Mia then had a serious yet worried look on her face, and I saw she had with her fingers on a particular page of her book in both hands.
Hermione now sat down next to me on the bed with Xion for once, seemed to be curious yet to my hidden surprise as I haven't got a chance to know one of my new mates, minor fear as she caught a brief glimpse of the creature or more like, the dragon I might be facing. "I know this isn't the time Harley since your family needs come first, but it is very important as I found out what kind of dragons you might be facing, thanks to Reaper."
I sighed; Mia as well as the rest of the girls keeps calling her, Erina, Reaper for some odd reason and as they try saying her name yet they couldn't as if Reaper was the true version of it. Though Erina explained to me one of the nights a week ago that it was because she has yet to settle down like a real person, and is currently busy doing reaper work as such; her name can't be spoken unless I tell my mates or kin it is alright to do so, since I recall her telling me I own her yet not at the same time, as Erina was currently doing magical business and whatnot.
From what I understood back then, it was part of our deal or as such, she made with me, that tends to happen at most times.
I looked to My Books still in concern as I was unknowingly rubbing her back with one of my tails, to her minor surprise yet she also accepted it as Mia seemed now calmer then she was, as I somehow felt Mia feared for me a lot more then she secretly does. Xion wasn't left out as my second to four tails were hugging her waist as she also moved to sit on a stool next to Mia. She then blushed yet remained calm as Xion only observed everything in silence. "Is it really that bad My Books?" I asked as she only nodded once with her now opening the book, and I saw from what I could see, three dragons yet they were under that species name Erina willingly gave away, thanks to Uncle Aeroza.
One dragon was from what I could tell, huge as from what I briefly gazed as a comparison since it was at least fifty feet tall, and had two dagger-like tails. It's hide like the other three were the same color; a dark purple mixed with a brief neon blueish glow, and it also strangely had metal claws as well as teeth, horns, and strange-metallic eyes from that one series I watched, yet more dragon like. It had two very large wings, and its face was like dinosaurs, yet it was also mixed with a python or rattle snake for a head, and a dark-orange tongue. It also seemed for some reason, had four tentacles; two on each side that also matched it's hidden with hook-like grips as if they were hands, and on each foot, was a smaller version of a velociraptor's big toe.
The second was smaller; at least thirty-two or so feet tall, and unlike the other one, its hide looked to be mostly a silver-like bone of sorts as well as its skull. Making a minor appearance of its skeleton being on the outside yet from what I briefly read on that one, it's mostly to intimidate other drakes as well as making it very tough to defeat. Its head was like a Horn Tail without the spikes, and it had a dark-blueish green tongue like that to a snake, and four eyes going upwards. I also saw that this drake had itself standing upright making me think it can stand not only on four legs, but its two hind legs like the last one. Like all three, they seem to be muscled evenly as if they are not only strong, but dangerous. The last one though gave me a sudden chill in my spine as well as the others who now were looking at said pictures of the drakes with me. Though Aeroza was keeping a check on both Screwball and Harmony with them both deeply sleeping, yet seemed to be twitching now and then, in minor to less pain.
It seemed to be a demonic looking drake with the same structure as a horn tail, yet no spikes but instead it looked evil looking. Its hide was like the others yet mixed with very black markings on some parts of its own body. Yet it was also taller than both drakes since it was at least sixty to seventy feet tall in height, and seeing the side-by-side image, it can also stand upright with its hind legs like the second drake. It had four glowing red eyes with neon-green irises, and golden teeth made out of literal gold as well as its horns and claws. Unlike the two dragons as they had two wings, this dragon had four, but half-width versions of the two dragon's wings, and seemed to be gargoyle-like. From its posture from the design, threatening, as its mouth was in a brief snarl in warning, and we also saw a very large gem of sorts in the middle of its chest; the color of amber and also from what the book stated next to it without reading about them, was that each gem color was different depending how powerful the dragon is. Amber being the half-most powerful there is as the truly powerful ones were a fusion of a pure-white gem with a silvery mist-like substance within the said gem. It also had a many-bladed tail; the halfway mark as at the end were very big claw-like daggers fused into an 'X' shape. It also gave a mist-like effect from its wings, well more like in-between them as we saw minor vents of sorts, letting the drawing show us a dark-grey mist of sorts.
I gulped as Mia gave me a look of small sympathy yet kept it mostly to herself as she knows I tend to not want others to give me pity unless it truly calls for it. "I-I have to face one of those three dragons from this species, Mia?" She hesitantly nodded and was about to reply until Xion now gulped and then gently tapped the last drake making me look to her quickly with a minor surprised look, and Xion hesitantly told us, but from what I heard from her tone was to me mostly. "That was the one I saw, at the stables at the field your current schools has. It also had that gem on it, the amber one in a strange design of a diamond."
I gulped again as I then knew I might be facing that drake as I shivered for some reason, and not known to me, my sister did the same with a hidden look to herself. Pinkie though kept it in but seemed to be secretly fearing for me from what she might have heard Xion state to me about my upcoming dragon.
We all briefly jumped now as Aeroza coughed, and Mia did to what she did earlier with the book as she closed it, and we looked to him as my uncle now sighed, looking at the two younger girls briefly before looking mostly at me then; most likely wanting to change the topic briefly. "The two girls will need to stay at least three days in this wing as well as not being moved, otherwise I may have to take the two with me as I from the scans was now told that is, that they were poisoned by what myself and Zeras took care of, and it would only leave their systems if they stay at one spot for that long."
I gapped at him then as I now glanced at both Screwball and Harmony, knowing they might be upset about missing my task. Yet I felt minor relief as well for some strange reason, as if they wouldn't like it when I got into the task with my drake. Xion was rubbing my tail that was to her amusement and slight ire, around her waist, and so was Mia with hers, when it landed gently on her lap now.
I was then settled after a few moments, seeing some tension now leaving my body. Yet it looked like Uncle Aeroza as we glanced at him, with an amused yet still sad Pinkie, at his form. He looked at us carefully as my uncle then saw I was calm somewhat, yet still in minor stress over the current events that have been happening today. My tails then went back around my waist to the sudden pout, and my amused face at them both, yet they looked back at Aeroza. They were staring with their faces at my form with minor blushes, seeing my top was stretching briefly outwards, making my chest to my ire, jiggle slightly yet I knew I need to find at least a spell to not make them do that or some kind of item to do so.
It would seem Uncle Aeroza might have read my thoughts exactly, and stated to me carefully; making him seemed amused briefly at my expression on my own face, as well as the other girls in the room, besides the nurse who was still passed out. "I think I might have an early gift, well…. one of many since I missed at least fourteen of your birthdays niece. You might find it once you head back to your dorms tonight, and it will also replace that bra of yours."
Aeroza then sighed as he quickly looked serious yet still kind now, as he then also glanced at everyone but me at first, then me lastly as my uncle also then stated to me while crossing his arms as well as looking downwards now; as if he was deep thinking yet he was clearly not, "Now I think after the first task is over with, I might take you and whoever you want as two is the limit, to where we might find answers to your… morning problems as well as seeing someone you might have heard about earlier during your time here Harley. But the problem with that is said dragon you're going to be facing. If what Erina told you is correct on that race, then you will need a… edge of sorts. Yet in the rules, you can use anything as such as long as you complete your task."
He then moved his long cloak around despite my eyes looking at him in minor confusion as I still have yet to read said rules, and to our sudden astonishment as he keeps surprising us with the abilities he has, pulled out a box as he now gave me a gentle look with a kind smirk on his face, as to my surprise, my weapon showed itself from my wrist, to which in honesty, I completely forgotten about.
Mia seems intrigued still as I did show all my mates, and Pinkie since she still is awed at the craftsmanship of the weapon itself, knowing it might be somehow powerful yet different than any other katana's out there, and we saw his face smirk wider if possible as he placed the box with his magic, as it floated from him to my lap with a gentle thud. The box itself seemed to be made out of burnt oak of some kind, as it was also etched in runes as well.
"Now," Aeroza began with that smirk still on his face as he only gestured to us the current box on my lap, seeing Mia might from her look, quickly recognize it as she had wide eyes and quickly muttered to herself to which I didn't hear at all, but Xion I think heard her as she glanced briefly at her and only nodded in mute agreement with her arms now laying lazily on her lap, looking at my form briefly before looking back at Aeroza. It would also seem from the mirth-like gleam that quickly passed in his eyes at her, Xion was checking me out to which I inwardly shrugged as I didn't mind, knowing my body might look cute I had to guess, as I didn't think so yet somehow knew as well. "What contains in that box, Harley, is an item that will truly unlock your full potential from this weapon of yours. The specific weapon I asked my old friend in the Caribbean to send to you, as she knew somehow it was time, with her being an Emotional Seer of course."
I was about to ask what that was until he raised his hand up, and gave me a knowing look to my sister, making me confused slightly at this as well as her until what he then stated with untold brief information, as if he met a lot of them during that time of the founders, not knowing he was ancient beyond compare then everyone on this planet, with that smirk still on his face. "Your mother, Lily, as well as yourself Pinkie, are considered as such. It is a very rare and unique gift I bestowed a long, long time ago. An ancestor perhaps as also from what I have now known, you three are the only ones besides your mother girls, are as such. The reason I said three as you have a minor touch as well Harley. Now if you're curious, I can tell you later on as to why they are considered as such as well."
We only nodded dumbly to him as I had to guess he answered another question from my sister, as I then briefly saw Pinkie currently rubbing her daughter's hand in gentle movements, making me look down briefly yet back to him as I somehow sensed he wasn't finished.
"Now to other matters: Miley will be indeed waking soon, and as such she, from what I sensed as her powers from her own magic have settled, Miley though might gain…. characteristics of other races in abilities, not personality. But I am one hundred percent sure, she is now your little sister; making her a Potter-Evans-Pie with her old last name or replacing it, if she so chooses. Also, Miss Marigolds isn't currently here but at my… base of sorts with plenty of protection."
To be honest I almost forgot about Miley as I have been worried mostly about my upcoming task, as well as the stuff that has happened, since we knew Aeroza did something to Draco's body and yet didn't tell us what he did with it, yet said he also cleansed it of his taint… whatever that was from what possessed him.
Uncle Aeroza only nodded at my brief yet not true thoughts with a look briefly, before smiling now; stating to mostly me yet to all of us at the same time, "You might be shocked as a few… what does the Ministry call it here in this world? Oh yes, a creature inheritance or two was fused and unlocked for Miley, Harley, so don't be surprised if you may recognize some features as I know from a source per say, you tend to watch anime as well as play videogames on your off time, or reading. As well from your last visit when you saw her." I blushed as the girls giggled at my reaction to his words, knowing somehow he got me over my worry over Miley, somewhat, by doing that.
But we did wonder something then, to which Aeroza now sighed as if he somehow knew, and before we could ask as I saw Pinkie was going to ask him as such, he startled us all be saying a random statement to us since I briefly saw Pinkie's eyes widen in minor surprise. "She is currently… off-world; If what my wording is. A world I created from my own power, a very long time ago, and also a remake slightly of the old world I used to mainly live on." He chuckled as I saw a strange gleam in Mia's eyes, knowing how she is more a bookworm then Selene is, was now about to ask him, but she was too giving him a wide-eyed look as he also then stated to My Books with him also looking directly at her eyes and face, his head turned to her as well. "It is indeed from that very book Miss Granger. Because not everything was written in it, but some parts that are true, so my minor advice as I see you tend to follow books at some points: not everything is learned within books but with living experience."
I was still upset over the situation as well as currently forgetting like my sister for once, my new younger sibling, Miley. But I was half-amused with Mia as she was now pouting at my uncle… still strange as it sounds in my head, but I inwardly shrugged as when she did, her ears since this entire time I noticed she didn't wear her bracelet, lowered as well as her tail twitched as if, in annoyance.
Aeroza chuckled at Mia for a few moments quietly to himself, then stated in a somewhat firm yet amused tone of voice at My Books, with Mia giving him a look as well as all of us; besides the two younger girls seemed half-amused, with me still being as such. "To what I say, Hermione Granger is true. So don't feel upset or pout over a fact as the likes of my advice." He repositioned himself in his spot, then looked at the girls once more but firstly me though, then he looked to Pinkie when he turned his head as such while making my sister look at him in worry; seeing my uncle might have silently scanned them once again to mine as well as my mates astonishment, and Zeras only smirked yet also looked annoyed at her dad, my uncle. "Now Pinkie, I would like to speak with you alone with Zeras, while Xion, Harley, and Mia go to the library for a gift I left, as a welcoming gift to the family as well as one of many gifts I missed on Harley's years, growing up."
I looked at Pinkie as if to say, tell me the details later or as such, and my sibling did one of her hand signs as if to say, ok, to me.
In secret, we taught ourselves as well as the rest of my pack to sign with each other, in case we either lose or have something done to our voice. An odd reason as such, but it was one of many things mentioned at some points when I was growing up with her. Now knowing something might be up when he glanced at me briefly with an all-knowing look yet I also felt it might be important to do as he asked, as I was curious to what our gifts might be, at the library.
I got up slowly as my legs seemed to have for some reason, almost fallen asleep, and Xion, as well as Mia, quickly helped me when I almost toppled over, and I didn't notice their hands accidentally touched my chest; which they blushed for only a few seconds as we then left the room. Before we did, I gave one last glance at my two younger pack members... my niece and cousin, and I then closed the door behind us as it was then spelled to be locked by my uncle.
Normal POV:
Once Aeroza locked the door back, he looked briefly at both Screwball; who shifted slightly in her deep sleep, and Harmony; who didn't move but only twitched from her one leg that was scratched. Once his gaze landed on Pinkie's though, he then stated firmly to her, making Pinkie jump briefly as she was thinking deeply suddenly to herself yet also listened the entire time. "Now while Harley is gone with I hope, she tends to like her present as well as the other two girls; since Xion's is sort-of… personal, I need to be honest with you about what truly attacked your daughter and niece so you can also tell both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash."
Pinkie gave him a confused yet a mixture of being partially upset, and also in minor shocked look at him; her free hand gripping her seat slightly while she did so, "You know what might have done this to them Aeroza?" He only nodded as he looked to her for some reason, older as he appears, yet Pinkie knows he is, but not is true age despite him looking always around the age of twenty-two to twenty-four years old. "Yes as sad it is to admit, it was a Heartless Neoshadow with a Corruption Orbweaver (4). From what myself as well as Zeras," said girl only nodded her head to her own name, only watching and waiting to say anything as usual when in presence of her father, "They were searching for something I might have placed within the school a long time ago, as in fact I might have fibbed a little, as I have been here at least on the number of times on arriving at this world: at least ten or so times, but not during the time of Lily's demise, but way before then."
Even though Pinkie gave him a strange look to that, she was looking briefly with her head still at the man's form, to her only child, then back to him with a firm look of her own while now taking her hand out of her daughters, and now also crossing her arms; mostly to comfort herself by giving herself a brief self-hug, "But why were they take them? I mean if they were probably here to look for something, why take my daughter and her cousin?"
"I have an answer to that one Pinkie," Stated Zeras now, who moved from where she was, and then sat next to her by conjuring a stool to do so while giving her dad a look as if to speak of something, to which he noticed and only nodded, scanning both younger girls as Zeras began to explain to Pinkie then. "Someone used the Imperious Curse on them both as well as a minor Obliviate Charm to make sure they recall the entire day besides them feeling the curse on them, but not recalling who done it to them. What dad as well as I secretly scanned them, that memory after it was Obliviated, was then taken out of their heads at the same time, making us think whoever set them up in the creature's path, do it on purpose to either make a blow at you, or rile a specific someone as a result to this."
Pinkie then furrowed her eyebrows together as she now thought to herself, seeing Zeras began to scan the two younger girls now with Aeroza also conjuring a clipboard out of nowhere, as well as writing on it with a regular ink pen. Who did Zeras mean, about both Harmony and Screwball being used as such?
Pinkie didn't jump, but she inwardly did so as a voice that surprised her was her very own, yet seemed... darker then it did when it spoke in her mind now, with her fake-smiling as the other two glanced briefly at Pinkie before Zeras kept scanning, and Aeroza writing on that clipboard. Why not the "Said" person being Harley? She is very protective, and the first task is within the moment soon.
Pinkie then suddenly asked; her being somewhat fearful as this version was somewhat chilling yet warm at the same time, scaring her as well yet asked by thinking, Who are you and why you sound like me? The dark-like voice only chuckled briefly at Pinkie as the voice then stated, making her eyes widen while Aeroza's and Zeras's backs were turned; as they read the two younger girl's blood pressure by normal means. I have been with you ever since that day you were bullied back at the one town while in Equestria. Why don't you even recall when you found out what happened to those that have done so to us? It was I that done so as well as channel into you when angered, or stressed. The reason as to why most of our friends fear us as well as aid you on getting better when we go through our stage. You accepted me into you, my dear Other Half, so it wouldn't be a surprise as I say this: We will meet very, very soon.
Pinkie didn't think anything back for a few moments since they were still checking on her daughter as well as niece from both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, knowing Harmony would soon be a big sister soon, as her friends due-date is coming up for some strange reason. I guess… But you still haven't told me who "You" are though. Pinkie thought/stated to the female voice going through her head in both a firm and also curious thought at whoever this was.
The voice once again chuckled but briefly this time, as it then started back in amusement as well as probably thinking to itself at the same time, I haven't been called by anything for a long, long time... yet I find you amusing as you have been the past years. All those parties as well as you using Chaos Magic back in your home world at random times when it was called. For now I have decided you to call me by a name I favored for some time: Ruby, Ruby Genova Evans, since we share the same… body I perhaps guess? Pinkie seemed inwardly surprised as she only multitasked now; listening to Aeroza as well as Ruby as the voice also told her then, knowing this might be important, and also seeing that the voice in her head was a female as of now, despite hearing it. We will talk later on I suppose... Now listen to the immortal as he tells us about our daughter.
Pinkie was confused as to why the voice, Ruby, stated that to her, but decided to do what she suggested or stated to Pinkie as she did, in fact, began to listen.
"Now from our final results, they are fine for the moment, but I sense something else that seems to have… awakened in your daughter, Pinkie, as well as Harmony." Now this made Pinkie be both worried and also concerned for her daughter to which she glanced at once more, before looking at him firmly, her hair deflating in a slight amount yet still was herself; which was also odd without thinking but she now asked them both, but mostly Aeroza hesitantly with Pinkie's hand gripping her daughters blankets now as well as her shirt as a result. "Wh-What might that be then Aeroza?"
Aeroza sighed once again to himself as from what he saw; it might not be that easy to explain, yet from what Pinkie felt from her heart thumping, knowing it might be important as well as being able to understand at the same time. "They have gone as well as passed a trail of sorts, together as well. From what I can tell they will awaken at the exact same time since they appeared to be knocked out as well while secretly, making a journey of sorts within themselves. That is all I can basically tell you as it is early yet needed later on down the road for this world to be safe. In fact, I'm surprised as of yet, Harley and the few students and her mates, haven't unlocked 'It' as well. Even you my dear."
Pinkie seemed to be now both confused as well as somewhat knowing what he might mean, as they both gave her a small smile then, with Zeras now also using her magic to send water into Pinkie's daughter's stomach as she is currently dehydrated in small amounts for some reason as well.
Aeroza only nodded to himself as he now gave Pinkie a knowing look, with him also getting ready to leave after looking briefly at his one of many children he has, with Zeras quickly nodding without even looking, doing the same spell to Harmony as well. "You will know in due time Pinkie, especially within the night you might get visited by someone who was ashamed yet watched over you over what said a person has done to a specific someone. In fact you can say, your other-half is from this person's idea of helping you back then." Pinkie was wide-eyed at him when he suddenly said that as he now left normally, and also relocking the door without words.
"Even knowing Dad as long I have known him Pinkie, his words have hidden meanings sometimes when he wants you to guess along with seeing if you knew." Zeras said gently to Pinkie, as she then also conjured on both girls with wandless magic, new bandages on the places the girls have that bled badly as now they were no longer yet stink from this specific bandage's use of quick-healing wounds of any sort.
"So you mean he says what the true meaning is in riddle form sometimes, when he wants to do so?" Pinkie then asked her, now seeing and also watching Zeras carefully placing a wet towel she used from the old bandages, by transfiguring them into as such, on the two girls foreheads as they had a slight temperature increase yet now was going back to normal. Zeras looked to Pinkie from her left shoulder, and then back at Screwball. She changed Harmony first, seeing the girl might have a scar despite what Aeroza stated on her chest, in a three-fused 'X' pattern as Zeras only nodded to herself then and also answered, honestly, to Pinkie. "Yes, that is quite a clear say in words you asked Pinkie. In fact, he tends to embarrass as well as do many awe-like things as well since he has been alive longer than I, or any of my half-siblings or adopted for a long, long time."
Now this got Pinkie interested, knowing the man might have siblings or kids of his own so she got up, and then decided to aid Zeras to which said girl gave a silent thank-you to her, and then Pinkie asked her gently as well as nicely, seeing how well Zeras was treating both her daughter and niece with some help from passing that lotion to rub on the bandages. "So, are you the youngest or eldest of your siblings then Zeras?"
To Pinkie's surprise, Zeras chuckled gently to herself at this, and then while without looking, still doing her task as if this was an everyday task Zeras has done before, "I'm the third eldest of my siblings. But I tend to focus mostly on defending as well as healing then most of them. In fact our eldest sibling, Teresa, is my only biological-same-mother sibling, and she is quite powerful as such as I."
Pinkie nodded and decided to change the subject now, seeing a sad look on the girls face as if recalling something within the past of sorts as they then begin chatting about random things, seeing they need to get used to each other as they are cousins. Not knowing they were being watched by a small hardly seen crystal orb of sorts, and it then vanished as it was in the ceiling.
Harley's POV; Hogwarts Library with Sunset, Mia, and Xion:
I was told despite the gift Aeroza gave us three, that he briefly encountered both Sunset and Selene as they were heading back to the dorms while seeing Selene was tired now, despite her pregnancy was using up most of her magic for some odd reason and just wanted to head back to her bed for rest. Aeroza told them both that he would escort Selene back to her bed, and made sure she was comfortable seeing as her body was in stress for some reason, making me worry about My Moon as I didn't know much about pregnancies at all. The times, despite both Pinkie's with Screwball, and Rainbow Dash's with Harmony, I didn't get a chance to aid them at all as well as Fluttershy's this time. So he also told her to catch-up with us at the library, as Aeroza also told her to tell us since afterward, he had things to do, as it was surprising for me at the same time.
So currently we are nearing the library as most of the students was either doing random things, or in classes, or other stuff. Being a champion though, I guess I get special privileges as well as those close to me, to be out of doing a lot of things besides having mostly training as well as free time.
I smiled softly to myself as I was in the front, while the girls; my current with me mates, were talking amongst themselves behind me, as earlier Sunset took a Sore-Be-Gone Elixir made by Aeroza, and to her surprise, My Blaze no longer was in pain.
Not knowing later on it might come and surprise us later on as that elixir changed her somewhat as a minor side effect, to which also, later on, we would know then.
Though I was currently happy that they were getting along with Xion, but I didn't know where my other new mate was currently, making me sad I didn't get a chance to know the young woman, seeing she was almost twice my age partially yet felt not at the same time, for some reason. Once we got into the library though, for once we four were surprised as it was currently pitch-black in a spell of sorts; as if someone deliberately made it so it will be dark within this chamber.
Right when I was about to ask Mia as she only gave me a knowing look as to what was going on, I jumped in small fright as three familiar voices I knew about now yelled at the same time, "SURPRISE!" The light returned quickly to the room when that happened and I was in fear for a few brief moments as that then changed quickly to sudden happiness as well as minor annoyance at seeing my other two mates, and also fiancé that haven't been to the castle for a while, was in the library sitting down with them all giving me a playful grin as well as being amused at my current expression on my face.
The three girls got up, and were startled with small yelps as I sped-ran at them with a somewhat powerful hug, making them wince yet with understanding looks as they seemed concerned now with tears in my eyes, and the three teen girls giving the others a look as they were then explained to things that I may or may not have mentioned in my letters to them, needless to say, they were upset over me for not telling them, yet the three also understood.
Now Daphne's face though as she heard what Draco did as well as the other two, including Xion as her eyes, widened now and then reddened in color in minor rage, yet quickly returned to normal as the rest of the girls besides Selene, showed up. Her face was pale yet saddened as from what she told me. Draco didn't always use to be a prat like he was since it was mostly his father's own influence, for the past three years before I showed up, that caused him to change.
We talked quietly amongst ourselves as we saw the current librarian, Madame Prince, giving us a look yet sighed to herself also as she began to use her wand to send books back to their original marked spots. Knowing she must have made a deal with the three teen girls, or they somehow got permission, to have a small gathering within her library... or for as long as Mrs. Prince has the job still, knowing the school board is still looking for a replacement for her as well.
I however now noticed somewhat while we were talking, both Destiny and Katie were sometimes looking at each other unknowingly, yet I inwardly sighed to myself knowing what the paper stated was true.
Eventually after we talked, we began searching after asking Miss Prince about what Aeroza told us about a gift for us, and she merely pointed without words as her nose was in a book now, like usual at what I heard from random or house dorm students when I asked, and what we saw, I was stunned as well as them, with Sunset saying for all of us then with not only awe like the rest of us, but astonishment. "I did not see this coming; in fact, I'm surprised that exists."
Knowing I was a fan of videogames as well as anime, I was inwardly squealing to myself and the others teen girls somehow knew as they deadpanned to themselves since I rushed to one of the gifts I was sure was for me, and hugged it as a very familiar sound was softly heard while I hugged it to my chest, "Mew?" It sounded as if it was confused yet also somewhat happy being hugged. It was a regular version of a certain legendary Pokémon, yet has my eye colors instead of the normal sky-blue iris's they are known for in the anime or games.
As I was hugging my new friend I had to guess, since I already felt that very bond form; knowing besides Adelina and the Basilisk who were hissing in amusement in my arms still, I still have to what I feel despite knowing, three or so more familiars. I don't consider Misty my familiar anymore as she felt like a normal mate to me, and my Velociraptor for some reason feels like a child I had then owning as a pet or familiar for some odd reason as well.
I even saw a belt with empty yet different type Pokéballs on them, knowing later on I might like what he has to offer, since I read the note as well on it.
I also felt very sad all of a sudden yet it quickly went away as I glanced at Katie and Destiny glancing at each other once more with a minor blush, as if later on in my gut and heart something might happen I wouldn't like later on, yet I pushed that feeling away for the moment.
It was Mia who adjusted from her gift, to which she blushed for some reason after reading the note, as her gift was in a small box in her favorite color, pink, and mouthed later to me to which I only shrugged at as my current attention is my new friend I made. My Books then stated curiously after a few moments as she was trying to also figure out to how to open her gift still, saw as I was now using my Chaos Magic to make a brush appear, and began to gently brush my gift, to which it was purring to each stroke, to us all, as they wondered the same thing. "How did he manage to bring a fictional creature into existence here at Hogwarts?"
Xion shrugged yet she had a knowing look as if she might know yet couldn't also explain it at the time, making me pause briefly at her actions without the others noticing, yet I resumed as Sunset was next to me, rubbing the Mew's ears to which it purred in delight over as she in turn briefly looked to Mia, and then responded back with her own shrug to My Books, "Well, I'm sure if you guys read that book as well to what he told us a while back, the existence of other worlds is possible. So maybe-" "Maybe he got it off the world where they exist from?" Sonata finished for Sunset.
Sonata was with us at this moment, as her two elder half-sisters couldn't get out of their classes, since she had an excuse because of her involvement with me being a champion and one of my soulmates. Her siblings however as well as her, was in Moody's class for the Dark Arts to which I shuddered sometimes, for some reason. Despite Sonata being busy with them, we had some time with the girls as well as a small date to ourselves a while back, before the whole Draco issue as well.
Let's just say it was a good make-out session with no other things happening as we were taking it slow and leave it at that.
Mary only nodded wordlessly at her in agreement. She too has been busy as well as most of the girls. Recently though, she seems distant from us for the past three days or so as if something is bothering Mary, yet I also felt her smile is both true and also fake to me when we talk and other things, but the kisses though were real. Her figure was currently somewhat the same like Sonata's now, to which she hasn't changed much at all since then. Of course, she was wearing the school robes this time and was also wearing her hair in a small ponytail.
Ginny was also with us as Mary dragged her out of the classroom as well, since they were sharing the same schedule with the Sirens this time. But from the current look, Ginevra gave me, was to silently ask me to speak to me after we're done here without her twin being with us, to my surprise, as I was curious as to why and merely nodded once with her also looking relieved then.
"Well," I began to speak as everyone was now looking to me, as I had my eyebrows furrowed in minor thought while I spoke, still brushing my gift, "Uncle Aeroza did say he was making it up to missing all the years he hasn't been with me, which I have to say is a lot of years. But I feel as if despite this, he is being honest yet truthful as to what he does." I only got nods of agreement as Iris, thanks to Sunset giving a pass as she was in her Runes Class at the time, came later on to the library at a certain time than stated to us, curiously while looking at Xion's gift, making us look to said girl then as well.
"What I don't get is that gift he bestowed on your guy's new mate." I was wondering about that as well as Xion's gift was a box with a note on it, stating to open the letter and box when alone, or alone with me as she is one of my mates with understanding in her eyes. Xion stated to us, but mostly back at Iris, somewhat harshly while at the same time, also surprised me briefly at Xion's somewhat sad tone, looking away while she spoke then; seeing her eyes to surprise me once more since Xion was currently was sad within those orbs of hers for some reason, "It's none of your business."
Everyone gave her a look as Iris was now giving her a hurt look back to Xion, and she quickly noticed and then also sighed softly.
Xion was now looking apologetic as she also now had a small yet hesitant smile on her face, looking at Iris now with it, "I'm sorry Iris, it's just this is something precious I think I lost a while back... to which I hope it is since I did mention to Aeroza about it." Iris only nodded with her eyes now not showing she was hurt anymore, but gave a minor look of brief concern at her as Xion sighed to herself again, and got up and before we could ask, she quickly excused herself and left the library, making me look at her form sadly once she did that.
I heard a faint questionable mewl from my gift, as I looked briefly at her and without words as well as to our surprise, she vanished in a minor green flash yet I also felt she went to seek-out Xion, to comfort her now, as if she sensed my emotions to my new mate. Also for some reason, I felt that Mew was a girl instead of being a neutral gender; unlike her race was described by from both ways, of the franchise that is.
I sighed as we knew then after we gathered our things later on, that our mini gathering was now over, yet I kissed each teen girl; besides those not my mates, on the lips, but I did kiss Iris on her cheek though. I told them I was staying behind since Ginny wanted a favor or something as such, to which Mary seemed hesitant at this, yet nodded as she now joined the others as I kissed her then with her also being the last one to leave the area, and they all decided to go outside since it was currently sunny at the moment, and to simply enjoy themselves.
So Ginny and I decided to go out of the library as well, but to an old classroom nearby, not the one I was in before, but a recently discovered one that was surprisingly told by the four mini-jokers: Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Gem, and Silver as to what she wanted to be called by from now on, found said room by accidental means as they were running from a prank they pulled on the Weasley twins for once.
Needless to say I didn't want to see myself covered in pink slime mixed with pillow feathers after seeing the result. those four form what I was told by Pinkie could be the next Marauders, to what my dad and her stepdad in her own terms, was a part of. They have been pranking as well as the twins, for the past three or so months after forming a solid friendship with each other.
Sure I helped sometimes, but it was mostly them as they had my Brother-In-Law as their mentor.
Within the room though were just recently refurbished furniture as well as other things to make it a neutral lounge of sorts for all the house dorms to use for meetings or as such, as the prank went off close to a week ago. Of course this room for some reason has a painting with a little girl as well as an older sibling for some reason during the Victorian era, as well as not only them being dressed as such, but other background paintings of other land marks and cities in current times. They somewhat looked like myself when I was there age, to which was both seven and ten, but with blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. Making me wonder if somehow they might be related to me in the past since I saw the painting's name was called the "Sibling's Photo".
Not knowing, later on, I might find out when I hang out with my uncle (Aeroza) as a result later on this current student year... or more like the beginning of my fifth year.
Ginny and I then sat down under the painting, seeing the two painted girls being interested yet from what I saw they were playing catch with one of the red ball toys from a painting not too far outside this room.
Ginny looked hesitant all of a sudden, but decided to wordlessly hand me a letter she apparently kept in her own school robes today, and once I read it I was slowly getting angry. From the writing, it must have been only recent or today I had to guess, as it was from their own mother as I have yet to meet her.
Dear Mary,
What is this I hear from Ronald that you are in a relationship with a girl? It's not how I raised you daughter of mine. You should be interested in boys, not girls like every other witch in our society. To say I'm very disappointed with you is certain, to which I sadly say it is. If you do not give up on the girl you're dating, then I have no choice then to come over and speak to you personally myself. Especially since we're planning on coming to either the first task or possibly the second, Marigold.
If you however change your mind, I might have a suiter for both you and Ginny within the next term, to which your father somewhat agrees with. So get your head out of the clouds and study hard while you're at it since I will also not have a dumb daughter who only wants to draw to her heart's content, as that isn't a paying job as we speak.
So if I hear from Ronald your still dating the girl after the second task, as we got invited by your new Headmistress; despite her being new to all of this as Dumbledore was kind and generous to pre-plan both of your futures with my say-so. You will be removed from our household, and be placed within the system. I can't take it any longer how much you disappoint me, and this is the top of the cake Mary.
Ginny if you're also reading this, please know love, I approve on your studying scores besides your younger twin to which as I stated, she needs to get out of the clouds and do actual work for once. I know you will be doing better things then your sister, Mary if she keeps up with her horrible acts.
With love, you're Mum
Ginny stood stiff when my magic was now slowly showing, but I then took a deep breath as it went back into my body as I also slightly shook in anger, and her blushing at my form as well as I also stated looking right at her seriously with a ticked off face, gently giving Ginny the letter back now while I did so. "Your mother isn't really like this at home, right Gin?" She was about to respond, but paused as she then asked me curiously yet I slip my anger briefly away, still upset though despite Ginny's question to me on her mother, Molly if I recalled. "Gin?"
I was still angry yet I sighed as I told her gently now, as Ginny still saw yet understood I wasn't angry at her to make my friend also looked relieved since I also gave Ginny, a hesitant smile on my own face, "I thought you might like it since I'm pretty sure a nickname between friends is alright though, especially since I do plan on marrying someday, your twin sister, like I promised my other mates." She now nodded to herself as well as to me, agreeing since when I told them all that on a meeting we decided to have at least every Sunday since that is our current non-busy free day we tend to have, that is if we aren't busy at all, I mentioned that.
Needless to say they were happy and I also got kissed by them all at the same time. Of course, my two new mates weren't there when I told my current ones.
Ginny then decided to get back on the subject, knowing I was most angered by her own mother from what she briefly wrote on this short letter, knowing it was meant to be stern and yet making Mary disappointed in her eyes from not only dating me but other things saying she might be a floozy or something as such.
"Well, Mum is always liked this ever since we came to Hogwarts as she took our grades as well as interests at heart, yet she took Mary's the hardest as she told me once when it was just us, felt like she didn't belong at our home as to how much Mum looked down at her as well as told her things to make her think twice about herself harshly. But this," she waved the letter near us before placing it back into her robes as Ginny finished, a light scowl of both anger and annoyance on her features with Ginny also looking away, tears also slowly showing in her eyes now, "This is too much for her to take. Mary at this moment is not telling me anything anymore right now, yet we still hang out and do our work together as we always do. I can tell you honestly: I fear for her mentally Harley. This took a big chunk from her heart from what Mum wrote. I know it didn't seem much to me, but to her, it was one of her harshest words in letter form yet she told to Mary."
I sighed yet I still felt angry, as I also agreed with Ginny. If this has been going on far as long as it has, I thought from what I was taught by both my Aunts Applejack and Rarity that one day, this was considered abuse of sorts to a child, mental abuse that is. "I can try and talk to her when I get a chance... maybe see what I can do. Since I am a Potter after all as to tell you I been holding it off, I recently was given a letter a while back during my sister's coma of sorts, about what kind of businesses I own here in Britain."
That got Ginny curious yet I gave her a look for later which I also responded to said look with kind words to Ginny, at the same time. "I still want to tell them on the next meeting, and if you up for it, you can come with your sister this time as she will be forced to hang out with you normally." I saw Ginny sigh to this, and then nodded, since the task was on a Saturday while knowing how I somehow heal fast, I might still be able to make it on our meetings.
We saw it was close to lunch now and I was surprised at this as after we talked about Mary, we talked about random things that also made me blushed as I didn't know she was a minor pervert, yet not as Ginny was just curious at the moment, unlike Mary, who already decided about what gender she already preferred.
We then left, and Ginny waved bye with myself giving her a mock bow in farewell to which Ginny only laughed to. I then went to the hall while she decided to do some more reading and maybe have a house-elf fetch her some lunch, since she is also behind on some homework the professors has for her, to which is one of the random topics as Ginny was more concerned about her twin sister, then her own studies, still.
I saw to my surprise it was mostly empty, but my stomach to my embarrassment growled to itself loudly as I saw no staff members besides both Aunt Rainbow Dash, and Aunt Fluttershy at the staff table eating, and talking.
I jumped briefly in minor shock as I was unknowingly grabbed on the butt, and turned and then gave a mock glare at Daphne who was grinning, and the other girls besides Mary and Selene, were trying to hold in their giggles. Mary's being half-hearted though when she laughed, and I saw briefly with reluctance, Fleur, was secretly holding hands with Destiny.
I inwardly sighed now as I knew she might; from what I somehow can feel instead of telling, a slow yet growing connection of sorts between the two, and the connection with Katie from that was of an elder sibling to the girl, like Destiny.
Eventually we had a fun day at the most part. Myself hanging out with my mates as well as playing games made by Discord like Volleyball or another known as Dodgeball, and my team mostly won despite me kissing most of my girls in either winning or losing, it was fun.
We all also knew then that most of the students and other schoolers here, were in classes despite the tournament being in play; of course Discord was only doing this not out of boredom, but out of trying to get his nerves about Screwball's condition out of his mind for the moment, and causing games or making havoc to others like that poltergeist, Peeves here in the castle, to which I hope those two never meet at all.
Merlin helps us if that happens.
We eventually also did a lot of things besides that, but that is for another time as it was etched into my mind as being one of my best days I ever had, yet I knew what spell thanks to Sonata unknowingly giving me something to work with; a spell I recently discovered by myself as I was going to try it out before Draco got involved that is, poor delusional boy like that Ron Weasley.
So we said our goodnights when it was late and we eventually went to sleep, yet ever since that happened, my last dream that is with my mother as a spirit in it being revealed and leaving with Erina, a long time ago that is, I never got a single one. But now I did as I was deep sleeping.
Realm of Dreams; Harley's Heart/Mind:
I was utterly confused, despite myself currently now in my dream-state, was wearing a formal yet revealing dress that showed off my curves nicely with a slit that showed off my legs, and my chest to my now red face, showed somewhat yet not entirely a valley of cleavage. I also didn't wear any shoes as I was barefoot, and my hair was in a ponytail-braid of sorts with it lazily also around my left-shoulder in front. But currently, I was surprised I was dreaming an actual dream, after so long.
I looked around as I noticed everything was a mist-like darkness yet I can clearly see it all as clear as day as the saying goes, and knew this might be more than a dream somehow. "You are correct on that Harley Lana-Luan Potter." A mysterious adult female voice stated all around me, it even echoed as well. She sounded not only powerful to which my spine tingled for some reason, but somewhat older yet as young as I was. She sounded melodious as if she sung; it would be good to listen to.
I briefly jumped then as I had someone touch my shoulder, making me look behind me, and to what is saw I gapped at, to which she chuckled briefly at my current expression towards her form.
She stood around my own height, which sad to say I reached the max limit of 7'1 now with my curves now the same as well as my chest, to which she also matched yet she wore something else besides my dress I was wearing. She wore a revealing dark-blue halter top that showed her same-sized chest as mine is, and a choke collar that was silver in color with golden beads also embedded into it. Her eyes were like mine yet her pupils were also blood-red, and also her sclera was pitch-black. The strange woman also had pure-silver hair that dimly glowed as if it was shown to be in the moonlight, and reached to her halfway mark of her back, but tied into a long braid. She also wore despite her stomach clearly showing on her delicate yet truly fit frame, a chain-threaded belt with silver studs around a pair of ripped dark-green jeans, and sandals of sorts as that was what was normal about her.
The abnormal parts of her from not only having two horns on her forehead that curved upwards and they were small, were her fingernails as well as they were really claws as well as her toes, to which they were a steel-like color. She also when she laughed briefly to my expression as well, a dark-purple tongue and the same type of color as her claws for her teeth, to which they seemed to be flawless, and had two snake fangs that were long, yet appeared short when she then gave me a smirk on her face, and she was now crossing her arms while leaning on nothing but air. She also wore manacles of sorts that appeared to be a gold-infusion of some kind, with runes on each one that glowed neon-blue every few moments or so, and then fades back to being normal runes.
"It seems we finally get to meet after all these years, besides my daughter raising you. You turned out good despite my best friend being your descendant." She stated randomly, as she only floated now as well as now circling me, before heading back to the same spot as I kept gapping at her as to what she said, then I both paled and seemed to be in shock who this was.
She then bowed as if it was true, mockingly that is to me with that grin on her face, yet I saw her eyes were sad somewhat, to what I didn't know as I asked/stated to her loudly, seeing she winced briefly while rubbing her one ear as if I was too loud. "Your Pinkie's Dad... or other Mum?!" She sighed then and nodded a single yes to me, her smirk now replaced with a gentle smile yet conjured herself to make me wonder if they are related in any sort of way, a frozen coke. She then took a few sips from her supposed drink, yet after she was done with a gentle smack of her lips, she then stated to me honestly, as if it wasn't a big deal yet with a hint of sadness to it as well, "Yes, I'm considered both as her mother and father, younger sibling to my child. In fact I was punished as a result to what happened, and before my sentenced was carried the next day, I was envisioned with a horrid sight thanks to my cousin; who was gifted seer abilities, and I indeed took her from both of yours own mother, knowing the outcome yet knew Pinkie would be fine later on to that one world, where my second Ex-Friend once tried to take over with his own chaos would be at. It was for the best."
I raised an eyebrow at this, not knowing that was the reason, but I then thought to myself now with also seeing she looked to be in a brief memory of sorts with her now looking away for a moment from my gaze to her, my hand going to my chin while I did so. I wonder what her punishment was since I knew my older sister was a rape-child from her, yet I bet they didn't care she was forced to do so yet also it seems selfish of her doing that to my sister as well.
I then looked to her as she heard me suddenly hum to myself briefly before speaking, getting her attention now as she in turned raised her own eyebrow as if to say, what to me without words, "What was your punishment if I may ask…" She seemed to giggle to herself with that smirk once again on her face. I can clearly tell she forgot to introduce herself, and what she stated still shocked me, but the display she used made me sweat dropped to her actions. Flashing lights as well as sudden dramatic music playing everywhere at once while she did a familiar pose I saw Sailor Moon do in victory, from said anime that is, "I'm Eris, Greek Goddess of Chaos and Strife… and not the entity either; just a mischief maker who can do anything she wants."
"Right…" I trailed off now as I then begin resuming once more my question, seeing her to my surprise as Eris also deflated a little at this, and looked at me sadly yet with hidden anger in her eyes at not myself, but at who might have casted the punishment on her, and to what Eris then told me as she was being honest, surprised and also shocked me. "Zeus punished me along with his wife, Hera, after finding out I raped a young mortal female as well as making her to become pregnant at a young age. Yet they knew I was under the influence of a curse made by a mortal a long time ago to control a God, a… somewhat improved version of that Imperious Curse you Wizards and Witches have for spells. Even though my mother, Nyx, defended me, it was no use as it was the worst Punishment yet: they forbidden for me to at least to seek out my own daughter by said female, your own mother, until certain conditions were met as a pre-clause to the punishment, lifting it as well."
To this I jumped as Eris then accidentally with her power, made an energy blast and blasted said energy near me, and then Eris noticed she did that in her anger as Eris now also looked sheepish at my trembling form, and rubbed the back of her head like not only I do, but my elder sister's as she softly replied back to me looking apologetic, "Sorry about that Harley. In my anger, my power… tends to do more chaotic things than usual."
Eris now seems surprised as I came to her; despite her checking my entire body out as if she knew my preferences. Heck if you see on how beautiful my step-mom; as I thought that rather suddenly she is considered that, strangely that is, in my head, you will blush of course. I gently patted her in both agreements as I also read all about every Greek God/Goddess, as in secret as well, mostly Eris, Artemis, and a few others. The only ones I despise though is the one she mentioned, as I think from reading about those gods though, are considered pricks in my opinion. "I don't blame you, they are selfish gods after all… Mom?"
Eris/Mom was stunned for once in her life I could tell, from her facial expression as she knew I was hesitant on the last part as a minor question at the end of my words, and I was suddenly engulfed in a strong yet gentle hug by her, to which I blushed as my head was in her chest completely, and I couldn't breathe as she took notice after three minutes, and let go as I was blushing with her also laughing gently to my reaction to her hug.
"So what brought that out then, Harley?" Eris now asked me gently as she seemed to be truly curious as to why I called her that, and I shrugged my shoulders before rubbing my head, and starting to make mom now almost fall down as a result yet didn't as she seemed amused at my own words, "It just felt right, besides you being my half-sister's other mom/dad, we do sort-of look alike."
Eris/Mom then hummed as she inspected me once again, and gasped in a playful matter to herself, a random hand going to where her heart was as she then agreed with me, despite my body looking her way it was with my tails and everything else, and my marks she seemed to be inwardly surprised about yet kept them to herself for now. "Of course, on the world I originally came from, they thought now since a rule was made we could visit our kids from now on after a long, long time. I felt ready to do so now as you managed to happen to lift that punishment for me." I looked stunned at her as I then asked, with Eris/Mom now leaning as she did before with a thoughtful expression on her face, "How was I able to do that?" She now grinned as she also laughed at a memory of sorts, before telling me carefully as well as being kind, "You did a lot of things, and recently on the last part of lifting it in which was when you were possibly in your second year in which schooling, you risked your own magic and life to save your sister's when something bad happens, back on her adopted homeworld, correct?"
Now it was I that was stunned by her words, and she shook her head at me as I didn't know Eris/Mom knew about that incident; with that one shadow person who wanted my sister for some odd reason. Of course I would do what she mentioned just now since I loved Pinkie deeply and as a sister; as I knew how hard it must have been on raising me like she did all those years. Luckily, however, he was gone, and possibly dead as far as I know to what happened afterward after we all fought him.
I felt dizzy for some odd reason, and Mom then caught me before giving a smaller yet kind smirk on her features, and stated then as to explain why I was as such, "Your waking up, as I only came by to let you know, as well as to tell your sister that I'm going to be coming as well as staying for some time; maybe years even by her side from now on. Yours as well as I did detect your blessings on some of your food in secret to us certain Goddesses, so as a parting words, I will bestow a gift of sorts of my own." I was weak as if my own soul was being strained yet I smiled at her, with her giving me a knowing look as well as minor pity, yet Mom looked away as she used a free hand after using her godly strength to keep me still, and made a necklace from what I could tell, her own magic as she seemed to debate it for a few moments, then snapped her fingers as it went around my neck, and then changed into a choker collar, just like my one mates yet it seems to be a fusion of not only her gift but my mates as well.
Mom only smirked now as she also stated with few last words; my vision slowly getting blurry as a result and I faded away, "You'll find out later on as it has a lot of powers, yet one of them when the time comes for it. Though I will only give you a hint as I will tell in Greek: Ξεκλειδώστε την τροφοδοσία, το Keyblade έχει αρχίσει να δείχνει (5)."
I blanked out then.
Harley's POV; Day of the first task:
It was nearing the time of the task at hand, as I was nervous as I also knew, of course, I was forced into this by someone suspiciously in the castle grounds, yet I knew it was not by my own choice.
I also didn't expect for them to do one last time on holding out, the Ministry that is as after the first task at some point, they are making an announcement of sorts. What truly I didn't expect also was to be passed out all day yesterday, since today is Sunday and I didn't mean to get my pack/family members as well as mates worried, but when I explained my dream to them, to which they were stunned after I was finished, they nodded as I indeed wore that necklace-like choke collar, yet for some reason it had the same rune going all around it instead of studs, since it was indeed my one mates gift, but modified by a goddess I had to guess with mom's name imbedded into it, but what was really strange was that it had a strange marble-like gem now instead of what I saw in the dream, and my gem on my forehead was completely gone. So we thought my gem might be on the collar itself since it did look like it.
Once we tried to get the collar off however, it refused to do so, even by manual or spell means. So we gave up on that.
Also I did meet with Lavender and explained I was somehow exhausted, to which I felt I was as I trusted her enough to tell her my dream, and we eventually talked as a certain topic then came up as well since we all woke up very early in the morning, me especially since my mates were concerned mostly about me as they also stayed to make sure I would indeed wake up. "So what did you wanted to speak to me about Lav?" I asked her, since despite her curiosity about the god-like gift mom gave me, she sighed to herself as we were currently at the courtyard to have some privacy as my mates wanted to look into something that might help me as a last minute deal for the upcoming task in a few hours or so. "I am having no such luck as to what I'm about to tell you, as I mostly trust you more so than my old and new friends that are, to why I have been tired as of late."
Lavender then showed me the letters as well as the two books Aeroza bestowed to her, and I for some reason recognize the meaning on the metallic-like book yet not at the same time, as if I may have seen it before in the muggle world yet cant quite place it. I also comforted her as she still cried, knowing her first set of parents mostly raised her as her second set is out there somewhere, knowing she might somehow exist as she felt it to my question to that, in her heart. Of course, we also talked about other things besides that, before I had to get ready.
Anyways, back to the important task at hand.
I was with currently with my sister, as all of my mates were waiting at the Ravenclaw stands as this week I was rooming with the Claws.
Pinkie knew I was scared, as so was she since this might be also the only time Pinkie or any of her friends/my aunts couldn't help me; as we did on our adventures with my aunts in her old world.
So once we got into the tent, I saw my two somewhat mates, as I still feel the connection we still have, yet somehow I knew later on something might happen to us, to break that. A gut feeling I suppose to myself. That Krum boy with his Headmaster was also in the tent, as they were talking quietly to themselves. I also saw Fleur leaving after glancing at Destiny briefly, then to my gaze with a hopeful look for some reason before she left.
I knew that currently, you can have at least ten or twelve minutes for visitor's if they are related to said champion within the tent since I got help by Aunt Twilight to see what the rules were now before I had to get ready, as that tends to happen on each task performed.
I briefly hugged both Katie and Destiny, and they did the same. I looked now to Destiny as she then asked me hesitantly, with Pinkie also looking at Krum weirdly before seeing her shaking her head and then looking at the three of us, sitting down for a moment to get her say in when the time comes. "You nervous Harley?" I nodded slightly as Destiny now sighed, and I was hugged from behind by Katie as she also spoke in French to which I blushed at her words, afterwards. "Harley, vous n'avez pas besoin, n'avez pas besoin d'avoir peur du tout. Vous pourrez survivre à cela, et quand vous le ferez, nous embrasserons aussi profondément que d'autres choses quand nous aurons le temps. (6)" "I will do the same, my mate, it's the least we could do as lately even though we hung out most of the time yesterday, we feel it better to hang out with you the day after, as a double date of sorts. Maybe." Destiny replied after Katie was done with her own words, knowing I could understand any language for some time now, and I took French and Greek as my first two lessons; besides Latin during my sister's time as the Headmistress, as well as being at her school.
"Ya Sis, I have full confidence you will do great at this task they set-up for you guys." Pinkie encouraged me with a gentle smile while patting my arm upon doing so, making me look to her briefly with tears beginning to form. I was both ready and not at the same time to do this, but before I could speak, the Minister himself came into the tent, with Tonks.
"Ah yes, Miss Potter and the other Champions, are at least ready to do the task ahead. Now," Fudge began, showing a mysterious bag in his hands from his cloak, and began opening it and we were all currently stumped as to what he wanted us to do, until Tonks filled us all in before he could even say it, looking irritated as she took the spotlight from him briefly. "You're supposed to reach in, and grab a random dragon figurine as the Ministry got these drakes from a different source then what I suggested to get at." With that she only sent a brief glare at the man, who cowered only slightly, before coughing and just resumed holding out that bag.
One by one, we came to him with more encouragement yet brief sadness passing over Pinkie's eyes as even though she can't help at all this time around, she knew I was old enough to watch out for myself, yet also knew that I looked up to her as both a sister, and secretly as a Mom, but mostly a sibling that is.
Fudge let Victor go first, but stated firmly to him as well as mentioning to us, "Do not show your figurine until all of you have gotten it, then we will see what dragon you will be facing." The boy nodded as he then reached into the bag, and quickly chose he dragon toy I head to guess in my head at what they were, and covered it in his hands. Destiny as well as Katie did the same as they got theirs. When I got the last one, I jumped briefly as I got zapped before grabbing mine. "Now that each of you got your dragon, reveal to us champions what you will be facing."
Each of our dragons was different yet mine was just like the drawing like Xion stated. Theirs, however, was a lot different than mine.
Krum got a strange pitch-black armored drake of sorts with glowing red eyes, and it was breathing a silver-mist-like fog from its sides, as we saw vents of sorts near its spine. It looked to be smaller than mine was as they grew in size to the smaller version of our dragons. It had spike-like wings as most of its body was mixed with being metallic and normal looking, yet its tail at the end was a spiked ball of sorts. "Ah, the one dragon race is known as the Metolix, a rare species of dragons formed from metal and pollution of a ruined area yet it isn't toxic to breathe its fumes, yet causes illusions from the very smoke it takes to defend itself, and very quick on its speed."
Katie's was sleek with tentacles instead of wings, and it looked like it can stand upright or walks easily on all four legs, and it also was built for defense. Its head was that to a King Cobra, yet its main coloring was a dark-blue with neon-glowing lines on its sides and limbs. It was taller briefly then Krum's dragon. "The Tenteras, a very unique dragon that can live in both water and land with ease, and a good defender as it's hidden despite its appearance, is thick enough to allow most spells to bounce or allowed to get absorbed except certain spells, to which will temporarily stun said dragon."
Destiny's once we saw hers I let out a brief awe at before they gave me a weird look as well for some strange reason, my dragon figurine as well at me. It mostly resembled a feathered dragon of sorts with long-mid-length ears on the sides like a rabbit yet not at the same time, orange eyes. Its head was the shape of a small lizard of sorts with its feathered wings changing colors depending on the light in the tent. So all in all, her dragon looked ordinary yet powerful. "The Coronik Terror. Despite its name it is kind yet dangerous dragon, as when it is threatened or any of its young, then it will not hesitate to attack as it refuses to kill, but mostly harm their victims to make them flee as a result. In fact, these dragons are used in some candy products as they are the only known dragons on hand after two hundred years that is, to be able to milk like a cow as the nutrients are healthier than the cows themselves."
We all now looked at him in disbelieve as well as Pinkie, and I was now sweat dropping at him as my sister then asked or more like stated to him, knowingly of course, "You got that out of some book didn't you, or cards?" He sweat dropped to himself and quickly coughed, changing the subject as my sister looked smug and the others held in their laughter as well as myself as he looked to my dragon and now paused, thinking to himself, then shrugging as if it wasn't important, making me briefly angered yet I knew what it was yet all he stated was, "I got nothing on this one, it's a mystery as to where we got her from. In fact, she might be the only one of her kind."
I sighed to myself at this yet seemed surprised by his words, knowing the man is a fool yet he is always honest when it comes to things like this, I looked briefly and seemed amused as it curled up as well as to our surprise, slept peacefully. Yet I knew it was just a toy, not the real thing as I mentally prepared myself despite my body shaking as a result.
"Now," Fudge began as we quickly looked to him, as well as my sister. Pinkie then shivered to herself for some reason, making me curious yet kept my focus mostly on Fudge as he began to speak on our task. "Your task it to get an object of sorts within the pile of fake eggs we sprayed as well as said object, to be like their own kind of eggs, thanks to a generous person who did so when asked. Now don't think that this task will be easy besides it being the first task, it is a challenge of sorts as each champion will be part of said upcoming challenges to make yourselves adjust quickly to certain situations and the like. So this time the task is for Destiny's favor, and the next world as a hint, be mostly Krum's."
Myself as well as my two mates and Krum looked to each other, then back at him as he got a whistle of sorts out of his pocket on his left side, and showed us it as he then carefully stated to us, looking briefly at our dragon toys before looking back at us, "Now when I blow the whistle you will be sent out to face your chosen drake. After the tasks are done, the Ministry as told from my lips will add a minor announcement afterward."
I gulped as I then knew as we now chose straws, and since I got the smallest one, making me go first out of them all; with worried looks on my elder sister's and my two current mates faces, I knew then this might be a hard task as I heard a roar outside with gasps from the students and crowd.
I just hope I can make it out of this alive, for my family and mates sake.
Well there you guys have it, chapter nine, a longer chapter as well. Now to shout out a Happy Early Birthday to my co-author for this fic, PSSD or PSSD18, as her birthday might be out when chapter ten is published on the site, so this is an early present for her.
I also got plans as I mentioned above at the beginning of this chapter, with minor crossovers unlike the other three stories, as I will make this mostly a crossover of both HP X MLP: FIM/EG works. When it gets near the end as well as mostly in the upcoming summer with Harley and her family, things will get interesting. That is all I can tell you of course on that. Once I write chapter ten, I think I might re-fix the Jade Chan story slightly before writing chapter five for that, so yes I haven't forgotten about that story guys, just that I wanted to at least make it to chapter ten for these other three, including this fic as well.
Now here are some numbers:
One: It is the clan symbol of a familiar race of "Elves" from a world of war as well as magical crafting. You will find out later on as to what it is, especially since her other parents, Lavenders that is, are two yet same races.
Two: A device made by Aeroza centuries ago from his own thoughts. It is used to communicate within the heart or other worlds with ease, and it is rare he tends to make them as it costs half of his power to do so.
Three: Guess you can tell who this other person is correct? If you spell her name the other way, you get a familiar, shy person who this person was formed during her beating at an exam of sorts. That's the entire hint I can tell you. Her backstory will be revealed in later chapters.
Four: Imagine a Neoshadow on top of a supposed half-human/spider creature like in those anime of course, but armored with larger limbs near the back. It is one of many OC Corruptions I mentioned at all from my stories. I don't know what species the human/spider hybrids are called, so look that up for a better idea.
Five: Xekleidóste tin trofodosía, to Keyblade échei archísei na deíchnei / Unlock the power within, the Keyblade has yet begun to show. (Hint in future chapters yet more training to her ire)
Six: "Harley, you don't need to be afraid at all. You will be able to survive this, and when you do, we will kiss deeply as well as other things when we find the time."
Now that is all there is folks till the next chapter, peace out guys!
