Chapter 9 – Trial and Vengeance

Here's another update. The mistake with September and November in the last chapter had been corrected and I like to thank all my reviews for pointing out my mistake.

Fourteen of December 1991

Gryffindor dorm

Tsukiko looked at her schedule and groaned. Half her projects within her workshop was behind schedule. She only had two days a week to her workshop, that was hardly enough for all her projects. This Christmas holiday was going to be all work and no play if she ever plan to catch up on all her work. Tsukiko though back to everything she had done so far since Hermione birthday on Nineteenth of November.

Getting Crabbe and Goyle English and maths to a decent level had been challenging.

Draco was still very stubborn over his pure-blood teaching. Tsukiko also discovered a critical flaw within Draco personality that needed to be fixed as soon as possible. Draco had absolute zero survival instinct, the idiot has no grasps at all over dangerous and life threatening situation. Tsukiko planned to instil some fear into Draco before giving him a real assignment.

Pansy Parkinson avoided her like the plague, much to all the other Slytherin confusion. Otherwise everything had been fine, peaceful and boring. Class was normal. Hermione progress into Occlumency had improved greatly, but still had a way to go before she noticed her wandless and chant less Legilimency.

Tsukiko had everything packed away and ready to go. Today she would go home, celebrate Christmas and new year with Sacchin and everyone else. Just as she was about to leave the dorm room with Hermione by her side, she was stopped by a grim face and worried professor McGonagall.

The professor said to her with a tone of regret. "Miss Potter. I'm sorry to inform you, that you will have to stay in Hogwarts over Christmas and new year." Tsukiko had to repress an angry twitch.

She thought to herself. 'I knew everything was going too well. What is the old goat up to this time?' Tsukiko said with a false smile. "My apologies professor, but why do I have to stay in Hogwarts when I have a family to go back to?"

Professor McGonagall was cut off by the old goat when he suddenly appeared beside professor McGonagall and said. "Unfortunately it would not be safe for you to return home at this time and both your magical guardians has agreed to have you stay at Hogwarts for your own safety."

Tsukiko knew the old goat was lying, because Lancer was about to shove Gal Bolg up the old goat ass, if his expression was anything to go by. Tsukiko was starting to get very annoyed with the old meddler. Tsukiko could always just sneak away using the mirror. However this would not resolve the current problem of the old goat trying to keep her here, abusing his authority, even lying to her. Which did not come as a big surprise to her. Tsukiko said to both professors. "Excuse me, I will need to contact sister Sacchin and brother Lance to confirm this. Tsukiko went back to the dorm room and told Hermione to go ahead without her.

Albus smiled. He would be able to block Miss Potter's owl from delivering the letter. He also set the Hogwarts wards to block Miss Satsuki from entering the school ground, once she realized Miss Potter would not be returning home. He had everything prepared and figured out. He would then drop Miss Potter off at the Dursley on Christmas eve, he was certain once Miss Potter spend time with her real family, she would return to them on her own accord.

Once Tsukiko was certain she was alone in her own dorm room. She called Hedwig to her. Tsukiko quickly written out a letter to Sacchin and tied it to Hedwig leg. She said to her. "Don't worry if you can't deliver the letter. I know the old goat is going to intercept this letter. Just play along for now." Hedwig hooted at her angrily. Tsukiko sighed and said. "I know. You hate the idea of being a decoy, but this is important. We need the old goat to think you are the main method of communication. I promise you, I will need you to deliver a lot of letters soon and during summer holiday, when a certain old goat won't intercept your letter every single time." Hedwig hooted at her sadly. Tsukiko hugged Hedwig gently and said. "I know it's not fair, the old goat doing this to the both of us, but I promise you, we will get through this. Now go. I need to contact Sacchin. Time is of the essence." Once Hedwig left. Tsukiko took out her long range communication crystal and started to tap the crystal in Morse code.

Tsukiko waited in the dinner hall for Sacchin and Lancer to pick her up. Tsukiko already send Lancer ahead to meet Sacchin at Hogsmeade. Tsukiko noticed the main door was locked and caretaker Filch was guarding the door. The old goat smiled at her as if he found something rather amusing. Several professors was eating lunch along with the students that was ready to depart after their meal. Tsukiko just enjoyed her meal knowing that soon all hell was going to break loose when her family come knocking on Hogwarts door.

Satsuki Yumizuka was very angry. The old bastard had been a thorn at her side since she gave him that thrashing over one and a half months ago. Satsuki was accompanied by Lancer and a goblin lawyer. When she reached the boundary of Hogwarts. She was violently thrown back by a magical pulse. Satsuki groaned. "OWWW. Now that hurts." Satsuki got back up and watch as a shimmering forcefield bar her way.

Lancer said to her with a tone of concern. "Sacchin, are you all right?"

Satsuki replied. "I'm ok. It's only my ego that's bruised. Can't believe the old bastard would use such a powerful ward to keep me out." Satsuki turned toward the goblin lawyer and said. "Would I be breaking any wizard law if I take down this barrier that's stopping me from reuniting with my little sister Tsukiko?"

The Lawyer replied neutrally. "Hogwarts have no ground to prevent you from visiting or collecting Miss Potter during national holiday. Albus Dumbledore has not filed any legal document or official request to have Miss Potter stay at Hogwarts. You have every right to tear down any obstacles that bar your way."

Satsuki smiled and said. "I need you two to back away to those tree line. I don't want either of you two to get caught by this magic." as soon as both goblin and Lancer backed away to a safe distance. Satsuki chanted. "Depletion Garden"

Albus Dumbledore was smiling and eating his stew. When he suddenly felt the wards gone up and bar a certain individual from entering Hogwarts ground. His smile widened at this. He tweaked the ward to be extremely painful and unpleasant to a certain magical signature that belong to one Satsuki Yumizuka. He was a bit concerned that Miss Satsuki found out so quickly that he had kept Miss Potter at Hogwarts, but no matter, as long as she could not enter Hogwarts ground. There was nothing she could do, even if she got Gringotts to help her, he would tie the goblin up with enough paperworks till the end of Christmas holiday. He soon lost his smile when the great hall light dimmed and he felt a vast number of Hogwarts wards failed simultaneously. Albus paled when he felt the ward that was suppose to keep Miss Satsuki out of Hogwarts being utterly destroyed. He paled even further when he felt a section of Hogwarts magic disappeared from his connections with Hogwarts as the headmaster. It was then he noticed Miss Potter left the dinner hall and headed towards Hogwarts main entrance, many students followed her out of curiosity.

Tsukiko smiled when she reached the Hogwarts main entrance. The main entrance double doors was barely hanging on by it's hinge. Caretaker Filch was cowering by the corridor. Tsukiko ran full speed towards the two people by the entrance. She leaped up and hugged Lancer passionately by his neck, rubbing her cheek against his and shouted with joy. "Lance-oniisan. I miss you so much."

Lancer said to her with a tone annoyance. "A leanbh, how many times have I told you not to jump at people like that." Tsukiko could see Satsuki smirked happily at them.

Satsuki was very happy to see Tsukiko again. She knew Tsukiko would take this opportunity to get closer to Lancer. She was glad to see a light blush on Lancer face, it goes to show Lancer was not completely immune to Tsukiko charm. Satsuki smiled again when she saw a certain old bastard showed up, paled face and cursing.

Severus Snape wisely stayed hidden and out of view to observe the unfolding situation before him. He was surprise to learn Dumbledore planned to keep Tsukiko in Hogwarts over the Christmas holiday, when she has a family to go back to. Now Tsukiko family showed up to collect her. It brought joy to his heart when he saw Dumbledore shocked expression. He had guess this reunion was not part of his plan.

Hermione was blushing along with majority of the girls at the main entrance. Hermione vaguely remembered Tsukiko showed her pictures of her brother Lance Bazett, but to meet him in person had Hermione blushing and feeling butterfly in her stomach. Lance Bazett was INCREDIBLY handsome, he also has a very lean body and looked very well dressed in his black business suit. Hermione felt she might have a crush on Tsukiko brother. She was a bit concerned when Ron Weasley turned completely red and started to mutter incoherently.

Albus Dumbledore was in shock. Did Miss Satsuki took down Hogwarts wards? He still could not feel the wards coming back up. He feared there might be permanent damage to the wards, but how did she do it? Who was that strapping young man that was with her? Blue hair, tall, lean muscular physique, chisel sharp facial feature, a truly handsome man. There could only be one person that Miss Potter showed such affection for. That man before him must be Lance Bazett.

Albus tried to regain control of his faculty. He said to them with a hint of concern. "Miss Satsuki. Mr Bazett. I was not expecting you. Please come to my office. I would like to have a word with you two."

Albus almost flinch when Miss Satsuki said to him with a tone of sarcasm. "Not expecting us? That was quite a welcome I received when I was blasted back by the Hogwarts ward. Shame I have to tear it down, it was an excellent ward. As for going to your office, no thanks. We are only here to collect Tsukiko. Not to exchange pleasantry."

Albus was panicking, he said with a sense of urgency. "Please. If you will just listen to what I have to say. You'll understand. Miss Potter must stay here for her own safety."

Miss Satsuki replied frostily. "The Tohsaka have protected Tsukiko for five years without incident. She only been at Hogwarts for three months and she was attacked by a mountain troll. Tell me professor Dumbledore. What right do you have to say, Tsukiko was safer with you? Tsukiko will spend Christmas with us. You have no right to keep us apart. We are her family, there is nothing you can say that will change that."

Albus was about to argue and make Tsukiko stay, by force if need be. That was until the Gringotts goblin lawyer made himself known. Albus paled even further, when the lawyer said to him neutrally. "Headmaster Dumbledore. I would suggest you chose your next word and action carefully. My client was assaulted by your ward. Unlawful detainment of a child. A heir of house Tohsaka. Also fraud by false representation, when you informed Miss Potter that her family wanted her to stay at Hogwarts. Do I need to go on?" Albus was trapped between a rock and a hard place. The other professors and students were looking at him with both shock and disbelief. Albus did the only thing he could.

He said to them with a forced smile. "My apologies Miss Satsuki. Mr Bazett. I do not mean to imply that the Tohsaka was incapable of protecting Miss Potter. Please accept this old man apology for this misunderstanding. Please have a safe journey and a merry Christmas." Albus turned and walked away as fast as possible. He was furious, he will need a very strong drink after this disaster.

Draco could not believe the exchange that had just happened before his very eyes. At the start of the school year he honestly believed Tsukiko Potter would be Dumbledore golden girl, how wrong he was. This exchange before him showed him a whole new side of the Tohsaka house. Draco felt his heart speed up when Miss Satsuki Yumizuka tore a new one into Dumbledore. He could not forget the exchange or Miss Satsuki face. Draco realized, this was his first crush.

Tsukiko watched the exchange with satisfaction. The goblin lawyer said to her. "Ahh. Miss Potter. I have an important message for you. The expedition team you funded have found what you were looking for. Here are the documents they send. For your eyes only." Tsukiko eyes widen as she took the folder and scoured the content.

Tsukiko thought to herself. 'They found it! They did it, after three long years. They found the original.' Tsukiko turned to the goblin lawyer and said to him. "Secure the object and the documents. I will inspect the artefact as soon as I visit Gringotts tomorrow."

Tsukiko was surprised when she heard Hermione stuttered at Lancer nervously. "Mr..r Baze...tt. It...'s a plea...sure to me..et you..u. I'm Her..Hermione Gran..Granger."

Lancer smiled at Hermione and said. "Hello. Miss Granger. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's good to see Tsukiko finally made a friend her own age." Tsukiko noticed Hermione eyes widened in surprise at that information. She told Hermione that she was her first friend around her age. However they were completely drunk at the time. Hermione must not had remembered that, unlike herself.

Hermione face was scarlet red, both from talking to Lance Bazett and hearing she was Tsukiko first friend around her age. Hermione was tongue tied, she doesn't know what else to say. It was a first for her, unable to find words or questions to ask.

Tsukiko hugged her and said. "Hermione, I will be going now. I will see you after the new year, ok. Also expect a present from me during Christmas, see you later." Hermione watched Tsukiko leave Hogwarts with her brother and sister. Hermione felt a little bit of tears forming in her eyes.

Hermione whispered. "Hope to see you soon. Tsukiko."

Fifteen of December 1991

Godric's hollow cemetery

It was a clear blue day at Godric's hollow cemetery. Tsukiko arrived at the cemetery with a bouquet of white lily and rose, as she laid the bouquet on the grave of Lily and James Potter. She whispered with a tint of sorrow. "Hi mum, dad, sorry I'm late." Tsukiko felt Lancer gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

He said to her. "Tsukiko. Satsuki-chan and I will give you some time alone with your parents. Give us a shout when your done, we will be by the gate." Tsukiko nodded in reply as Lancer and Satsuki give her some time alone.

Satsuki waited for Tsukiko at the entrance of the cemetery. Every year since Tsukiko was six years old. They would come visit her parents grave to pray and give their respect on Halloween, this year being the exception. Tsukiko would spend some time alone at the grave to tell her parents what she did during that year. This was an emotional day of the year for Tsukiko, as she laid bare all her emotion. Even thought Tsukiko could not remember her parents due to that powerful Obliviate charm, that had completely wiped her memory, she still love them with all her heart.

Satsuki thought about her reality marble 'Depletion Garden'. A reality marble that would drain all prana, mana and od within a localize area, the ultimate anti-magic attack on a massive scale. Within her reality marble, all magic would fail and no magic could be cast. From what Rin and Tsukiko told her. A reality marble would always reflect a person very soul. Her reality marble started out as a vibrant and lustrous garden with beautiful blue skies, filled with beautiful trees and flowers. However the scene soon changed. The garden withered and died, the ground cracked and turned to dust. The tree blackened and lost all life. The skies turned blood red. The reality marble depicted her lost life. She was a school girl hopelessly in love with her senpai, she had a father, a mother, a normal family. In a single night it was all taken away from her by a mad man. She was turned into a dead apostle, a vampire, as revenge against the mad man younger brother Shiki. The senpai she was in love with. That night her life as an innocent school girl came to an end. She honestly thought she lost everything then.

However there was a small change to her reality marble. At the centre of her reality marble. At the heart of desolation and hopelessness. A single white rose bloomed, even as it was surrounded by dried parched lake bed, surrounded by black dead trees and blood red skies. A single white rose never lost any of it's beauty or radiance at the centre of this despair. Satsuki knew who the white rose represented. It was Tsukiko. The rose represented her, her last living relative. The one person she would protect above all other. Satsuki was truly happy to discovered this. Perhaps, there would come a day when her reality marble would once again filled with life and beautiful flowers.

As Tsukiko joined them once again, Satsuki gave Tsukiko a hug. Satsuki needed this embrace, they both do. Once their emotion had settled down. They set off to Gringotts to collect Tsukiko latest purchase.

Twenty-fourth of December 1991

Gryffindor Dormitories

Ron Weasley was miserable. Ron thought he would be spending Christmas with Tsukiko Potter when he overheard professor McGonagall and professor Dumbledore, telling Tsukiko she needed to stay at Hogwarts over Christmas for her own protection. He was ecstatic at the chance to get closer to 'The Girl Who Lived', but then the Tohsaka showed up. Ron was still livid at the image of Tsukiko being affectionate with her brother Lance Bazett, it filled him with anger and jealousy. Then her sister Satsuki Yumizuka openly criticized professor Dumbledore and went against his decision to keep Tsukiko Potter in Hogwarts. Ron thought 'Who the bloody hell is she, to tell the greatest leader of light what to do?'

Ron miseries was increased three fold when the presents from his brothers George and Fred exploded in his face, turning his skin into colours of rainbow. Ron mumbled "Should have seen that coming. I'm a bloody idiot." It was then the Tachikomas popped out of nowhere and scared the living hell out of him. The Tachikomas dressed up in some sort of green fluffy uniform with pointed green hat held out a tiny box to him, they whistled and clicked happily. Ron took the present and muttered. "Thanks." while wondering why they were still at school. He thought Tsukiko would had taken them home with her. Ron opened the present and was stunned by the gift within. It was a snitch with Galvin Gudgeon signature etched onto it's surface. Ron had to hold back his tears. It was the greatest gift he had ever received. Ron was further surprised when Fred and George chased after the Tachikomas and was laughing along the way. Both George and Fred skin turned neon blue, their eyes amber yellow and they were only wearing dark brow leather pants, also wielding wooden bows and spears. Ron could only mutter. "Mad, the bloody lot of them."

Twenty-fourth of December 1991

Granger Resident

Hermione was not happy. She was grounded for the entire Christmas holiday for something that Tsukiko did to her as punishment. Her parents was not amused when she explained that her room mate shrunk her front teeth as punishment. As Hermione predicted, they didn't believe her. Hermione was surprised when she hear tapping on her window. A snowy white owl waited for her while holding a parcel in her claws. The owl hooted at her happily before dropping the parcel into her hands, then flew out into the night. Hermione opened her present and turned completely red at her gift. Tsukiko send her sexy lingeries with frills, looked half transparent and very indecent. It was then her mum walked in on her and saw her present.

Her mum said with a barely held back giggles. "Hermione dear, is there something you want to tell us about?"

Hermione tears welled up in her eyes in humiliation and her face turned bright red, she said with barely restraint fury. "Yes mum. I am going to kill Tsukiko for this."

Twenty-fourth of December 1991

46a Craigdarragh Road, Helens Bay

Tsukiko send Hedwig on another round of deliveries to her minions... henchmen. Tsukiko send Draco a first edition of pure-blood doctrine against Muggle-born and half-blood, also complete history of world war one and two. She wondered if Draco would see the connections. Tsukiko send Crabbe and Goyle Rococo chocolate Christmas selections. She also send Neville a book on African Voodoo plants. Lavender Brown got some perfumes. Padma Patil some accessories. Etc. etc.

After sending out all the gifts. Tsukiko laid on her bed and sunk into her mind scape. The Emiya resident was decorated for Christmas. Tsukiko soon joined everyone in the celebration. Christmas dinner made by Shirou. Lively conversation. Everyone tried to keep mum Arcueid from attacking Sacchin over the mistletoe kiss that Sacchin stole from papa Shiki. Tsukiko enjoyed the festivity with everyone with only minor incident from time to time. She really wished she could stay here with everyone forever.

Third of January 1992

Hogwarts

Christmas holiday was over. Tsukiko had celebrated Christmas and new year with her family. Lancer even used a crowbar to pried her off her workshop when she worked for seventy-two hours straight. Her new acquisition from the expedition team was the real deal. It held unlimited potential. There was still so much needed to be done to find out what other secrets it held, but it's current function would make it a holy grail for the Tohsaka magecraft. However the problem come in the cost of obtaining said acquisition, if Rin found out how much she had spend on this. Rin would do terrible things to her as soon as she turned eighteen years old. Tsukiko knew she was far from normal, but compare to some of the stuff Rin was into... She really don't want to picture Rin in leather bondage outfit with whips and wooden horse. How in the world did Arturia and Shirou put up with Rin, she would never know.

As soon as Tsukiko gone into her shared dorm room with Hermione. She was tackled from behind and put into a choke hold. A very angry Hermione said to her. "Do you have any idea how embarrassed I was. When my mum saw me with that... that abomination you send me? My mum and dad made fun of me through the entire holiday."

At this point Tsukiko quickly took out Hermione real present from her pocket and said with some difficulty. "Here's your real present. Hope you like it." Tsukiko felt the hold loosen as Hermione took her present. Tsukiko could see Hermione hyperventilating when she saw the book.

Hermione said to her. "Your giving this to me? Guide to Legilimency by Salazar Slytherin."

Tsukiko sighed and said. "Yes, I'm give you that 'Copy' of the original." Hermione looked crestfallen.

Tsukiko continued. "I can't give you the original. My sister would beat me within an inch of my life, if I give something like that away." Hermione looked horrified. Tsukiko quickly added. "It's only a figure of speech. However my sister punishment is down right terrifying. Beside that copy could probably get you five hundred Galleon easy with the right buyer. It also took me ages to copy the book word by word, even with Nimbus Quick-speed Quill mark four." Tsukiko was not about to tell Hermione. It only took her a day to create a copy of the said book. Due to her Eidetic memory and mind scape time Accel. Who would have thought self writing quill have memory storage. All she needed to do was envision the entire book content in her mind, visually send the image page by page to the quill and it was done sixty time faster due to time Accel. However it still took the quill a whole twenty-four hours to write it all down onto a blank book.

Hermione hugged the present she was given and said with gratitude. "Thank you. I will always treasure this."

Tsukiko said to her. "I know you will. Hermione. I know you're having some difficulty with Occlumency, by understanding Legilimency. You should have a breakthrough in your study." Tsukiko hugged her and said to her with a smile. "It's good to see you again. Hermione"

Hermione said happily. "It's good to see you too. Tsukiko."

Hermione then took out her gift for Tsukiko and said. "This is for you. I wasn't sure what to get you. I noticed you always looked at beautiful jewellery in class and on other girls, so I got you this. I bought this off a really tall and beautiful Japanese woman. For some reason this jewellery really caught my eyes."

Tsukiko opened her present and felt tears in her eyes. It was a beautiful pure white jewellery hair pin in the shape of a lily. Tsukiko heard a tone of panic and fear from Hermione, as she said to her. "Tsukiko are you all right? I'm sorry. If you like I can get you something..."

Tsukiko hugged Hermione and said with gratitude. "Thank you. You don't know how much this gift meant to me. My birth mother always loved white lily. This gift reminded me of her. Thank you."

Tsukiko felt Hermione returned her hug and said with an affectionate tone. "Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Tsukiko."

(Line break)

Tsukiko and Hermione was making their way to the dinner hall when the Weasley twin stepped in front of them with a VERY big smile. They said to Tsukiko in turns.

"That"

"was"

"the best"

"present"

"and pranks"

"we ever had."

Then they said in unison. "Thank you!"

Tsukiko said with a smile. "Your welcome. Just to let you guys know, it was the Tachikomas idea. Bob and Jack seemed quite taken with you two." It was then Ron made an appearance and tried to hug her. By pure instinct Tsukiko pulled Hermione in front of her and Hermione was hugged instead.

Tsukiko heard Hermione said with a tone of anger. "Get off me! Ronald Bilius Weasley." Ron jumped back in shock.

Hermione then said to her. "Tsukiko. What's the hell was that for?"

Tsukiko said without thinking. "I'm shy." Hermione just glared at her before dragging her off to dinner.

Ron shouted after them. "Tsukiko. Thanks for the present."

After dinner Tsukiko and Hermione came back to the common room and found Percy Weasley waiting for them.

He said to her. "Miss Potter. Professor Dumbledore want me to pass this onto you. Also here are gifts from the twins and our mother." Tsukiko opened the twins gift first and found Zonko's prank supply. Tsukiko planned to modify them a bit before putting them to good use. She then opened the gift to her from the Weasley matriarch and found a bright green jumper.

Tsukiko thought. 'It's the thoughts that counts. Might as well make Lancer wear this.' Tsukiko smiled deviously at the image of Lancer wearing this jumper. Tsukiko used 'structural analysis' on old goat's gift. Tsukiko had to keep the anger and surprise off her face. Within the parcel were the missing Potter invisibility cloak, it was used by her father.

Tsukiko was angry because the old goat gave her something that belong to her in the first place and he had the audacity to put a compulsion charm on the cloak. The surprise came from deeper analysis of the cloak. It was old, VERY old. Also she could not comprehend or see it's creation, just like the elder wand, which truly surprised her. Tsukiko realised this must be one of the deathly hollows. Tsukiko examined the compulsion charm. It only compelled her to go to a certain room within Hogwarts. Tsukiko decided to play along and informed Lancer to tag along just in case.

Tsukiko waited until midnight, when everyone was asleep. She sneaked out of the dorm in her invisibility cloak. She soon arrived at the room and found a large full body mirror. The inscription said 'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi'. Tsukiko knew the words was meaningless, it was not an ancient or dead language, but if one was to read it backwards and rearrange some of the letter. It would say 'I show not your face but your hearts desire'. Tsukiko looked into the mirror. She saw herself being hugged by Arcueid. Lancer stood beside her along with Satsuki. Rin. Arturia. Shiki and Shirou. She could also see Lily and James Potter in the background along with other faces she did not recognise. For a single moment she saw an extremely handsome man with silky black hair and extremely beautiful ruby red eyes, dressed in a white suit with a silver cross earring on his left ear. He smiled at her. She could feel joy and sadness from him. Tsukiko rubbed her eyes in confusion and the man was gone. Tsukiko decided it must be a trick from the mirror. Her thoughts was brought back to the object before her. Tsukiko now knew this mirror showed her what she desired the most. It made her happy to know, what she wanted the most, had not change at all since she was six years old. Tsukiko could sense a presence behind her.

Albus Dumbledore watched as Miss Potter gazed deeply into the mirror. He knew she would be enthralled by the Mirror of Erised. Miss Potter must miss her parents terribly. He was surprised when Miss Potter said. "You can come out now. Professor Dumbledore. I know you're there."

Albus cancelled his invisibility spell and said to her with a grandfatherly smile. "Miss Potter. How was your holiday? I hope the Tohsaka treated you well."

Miss Potter smiled and said. "We had a wonderful celebration. A wonderful Christmas meal. It really would be a shame to miss all that, just because someone was afraid of silly people in skull masks and black robes." Albus flinched at the barbed comment.

He quickly changed the subject. "So, what do you think of this mirror. That show your hearts desire. Many people had wasted their life away looking into this mirror. Unable to look away from their greatest wish." Dumbledore looked into the mirror and saw himself leading the wizard world into the light, guiding the prophecy child down the right path. Albus was confused by this, many years ago. He would only see his departed parents and sister, reuniting with them.

Albus continued. "Did you know. A truly happy person would only see this as a mirror and nothing else. That person would only see himself as he is."

He noticed Tsukiko smiled warmly and said to him. "If a person only see himself in the mirror. Is he truly happy? The way I see it. Everyone has something that makes them happy, something to achieve, something to aim for. I know what makes me happy and I am glad to see the 'truth' of it in the mirror. If a person only see himself in the mirror with nothing else, he would be the most self-centred and lonely individual in the world with nothing to look forward to and nothing left to desire for. A selfish and egotistic man, who care for no one but himself. Even if he achieved his goal. He would be nothing more then a hollowed out shell of a man with a pointless and empty future ahead of him." Albus was shocked by what she said.

Albus could not keep a straight face as he said to her. "What did you see in the mirror, Miss Potter. What is it that makes you happy?"

She said to him. "Who else but the Tohsaka. I miss and love them every day. I will keep loving them no matter what."

Albus was shocked to hear this and said with panic. "What of you mother Lily Potter? Or your father James Potter?"

Tsukiko said to him. "What of them? I love them too, if that's what you mean. However I love the Tohsaka more, because they are here with me always. James and Lily Potter are dead. They can never come back, no matter how much I wish it. The mirror showed me the truth, that I am no longer held back by their death or the idea that I can somehow bring them back to life." Albus was speechless. How could this be? How deep had the Tohsaka sunk their claws into Miss Potter, before he could say anything else. Miss Potter said to him. "I will not be coming back here again. Goodnight professor." with that Miss Potter disappeared under the cloak and left the room as the door creak open. He was stunned, for once he had no plan for this. Everything was spinning out of control.

(Line break)

Draco Malfoy had a lousy Christmas and new year. His father ignored him through out the holiday, only his mother and servants were willing to talk to him. His mother explained to him, because of the servant contract he was currently under. His father could not talk about the Malfoy business in front of him. His father had to put the Malfoy house first and his son second.

Draco was surprised to received gifts from Tsukiko Potter. He was shocked to received a first edition of pure-blood doctrine, but he was puzzled by the second book, 'The complete History of world war one and two'. He already finished reading the pure-blood doctrine. It was as he expected, pure-blood were born to rule over everyone and rightly so. Then he gave a short read of complete history of world war one and two. He was puzzled by the 'Aryan' race. He was flabbergasted by the ideal of those 'Nazi'. He was horrified by the number of 'Jew' they executed. The history book drew him in, he could not stop reading. He never heard of such massive wars and it happened almost over seventy years ago. However the second war was FAR worse then the first. Draco mind clicked and he realized. The second world war coincided with the rise of Grindelwald and his fall coincided with the end of world war two. As Draco made his way to dinner, he intend to question Tsukiko Potter on the content of those books.

Draco was mortify by the sight before him. Both Crabbe and Goyle laid face down on the table with smoke coming out of their ears, tears pooled on the table and Tsukiko Potter had a evil grin on her face, she said to them. "I guess that will be enough for today. At least you boys managed to get your addition and subtraction sorted out."

Crabbe said to Tsukiko in the most sorry and pathetic tone. "Please ma'am. No more. Math hurts, it hurts my head so much."

Tsukiko Potter smile seemed to widen as she said with a tone of joy. "You two can have a rest for now. However tomorrow, we will move onto multiplication." Both Crabbe and Goyle groaned in agony. Tsukiko then said to him. "Oh, Draco. How nice of you to join us. I most certainly hope you will make things a bit more interesting." As Tsukiko smile at him darkly. Draco realised that Tsukiko Potter seemed to have a rather dark and sadistic side that always manifest when she was stress, angry or bored. Draco looked over to professor Snape and found him smiling and taking down notes.

Draco said to Tsukiko. "Potter. I like to talk to you about the gifts you send me over Christmas."

Draco braced himself for the conversation, Tsukiko motioned for him to sit across her and said neutrally. "I actually didn't expect you to read the book on world war one and two. Guess I have to save those experimental prank items for another time. So what do you want to ask about?" Draco gulped when he saw some of the obviously modified Zonko's product, he dread to think what they would do to him.

Draco asked her. "How did those muggles know about the pure-blood doctrine? Those 'Nazi' stole the idea from pure-blood wizard." Draco didn't understand why Tsukiko was glaring at him or sighed heavily.

She said to him with a tone of annoyance. "Draco. It's the other way round. It's the pure-blood wizard who stole the idea from the 'Nazi'. The idea of putting all the blame and problem on muggle-born and half-blood. Someone from the wizard world had the bright idea of rewriting the 'Mein Kampf' by Adolf Hitler and published them into the wizard world. First book to make the scene was pure-blood directory listing twenty-eight supposedly pure-blood family. Then pure-blood doctrine that placed the birth of squibs and other woes of the wizard world onto muggle-born and later expanded into half-blood." Tsukiko then took out a copy of the book Mein Kampf volume one and showed Draco the year it was first published in.

Draco said with shock. "It's published in 1925. it was five years before the pure-blood directory and almost ten years before the first pure-blood doctrine, but why? Why would someone use the idea from some muggle leader?"

Tsukiko said to him. "Because it's a great propaganda tool. It gained the support of the masses by placing their blame and problem onto some other class of people or establishment. Gave the people a superior identity that elevated them above all those who were 'lower' then the 'Aryan' race. This muggle leader Adolf Hitler risen to power within a very short period of time, led a country of fanatical followers and was responsible for almost twenty-one million death during the period of 1933 to 1945. I would say the person who copied him was a diabolical genius. Except I think German Wizard world might have played a part in all this."

Draco was absorbing all this and said with realization. "The rise of Grindelwald and the Nazi was not a coincident." Tsukiko smiled warmly at him.

It made him blush a little. She said to him. "Very observant Draco, there might be hopes for you yet, that is correct. The rise of Grindelwald and the Nazi was not a coincident. I strongly suspected Grindelwald group might have supported and controlled the Nazi from the shadow. In an attempt for German Wizard world to place everyone under their control. I suspected they might had even tried to spread that same vile pure-blood rhetoric into British Wizard world, in order to gain the support of those twenty-eight 'pure-blood' family. In another words Draco. The pure-blood of Great Britain was played as a bunch of fools to the tunes of not only one dark lord with honey words and silver tongue, but two of them. First being Grindelwald and second being Voldemort." Draco flinched at the dark lord name.

Draco could not refute what Tsukiko said. It all made sense and very Slytherin of both dark lord to use such tactics to get the upper hands. However he refuse to admit Tsukiko was right about everything. He said to her. "The pure-blood ideal have been around since the founding of Hogwarts. Since Salazar Slytherin promoted the ideal of pure-blood wizard and witch. Both dark lord must have stolen the idea from him."

Tsukiko said nonchalant. "That is entirely possible. It's likely both Grindelwald and Voldemort got the idea from Salazar Slytherin." Draco flinched again and noticed Tsukiko glared at him and said. "Will you stop flinching every time you hear the name Voldemort, and no. I will not use the silly moniker of 'He who must not be named'. Now back to what I was saying. However, when you make comparison of Mein Kampf and Nazi Ideals to Pure-blood Doctrine, there is too much similarity. Grindelwald must have used the Nazi ideal and Voldemort used Grindelwald ideal afterwards. Also the idea of racial purity isn't new. The ancient Egyptians royalty believe they were the descendant of Gods. To preserve their blood purity, brothers and sisters married each other and in majority of cases. The father would even marry and have children with their own daughter. That's blood purity at it's worse."

Draco paled at that. He felt truly sick at that extreme spectrum of blood purity. Tsukiko wasn't done with him yet. She said to him. "The Spartans from ancient Greek was just as bad. Their ideal of purity mean killing infants with the slightest deformities. They believe they were the descendants of Heracles or Hercules. They also tried to keep their blood pure by only marrying and have children with other descendants of Heracles. Their society was a mess. A Spartan was more likely to fall in love with other Spartans then the women of Sparta. This was due to their system of raising boys and girls separately. The woman of Sparta deal with politics and domestic affair. The man fight and defend Sparta. There was a saying, if a Sparta woman wants a man. She would have to shave her head and knock the man out and drag him into her bedchamber. If our fathers and professor Snape was raised by Spartans. They would probably be lovers."

Draco was turning green at the picture of professor Snape together with his father. He heard professor Snape said angrily to Tsukiko. "Miss Potter. You're getting off topic and I don't appreciate you filling my godson head with horrid history and images."

Tsukiko look abashed and said with a tone of apology. "Right. Sorry about that. I got carried away." Tsukiko continued with professionalism fit for a professor. "What I am trying to say is. Blood-purity isn't new. Culture through out the ages had tried to pin their problem and blame on someone or something else. Sometime it succeeded for a long period of time, sometime it failed within a few days, but in the end. They all failed miserably because they could not and would not adapt to the new age. The British Wizard world would not be the first, nor will it be the last to fail miserably. This is why I don't believe in blood-purity, not because I'm a half-blood or my friend is muggle-born or I have association with half-breeds. It's because they will always inevitably fail. It's only the question of WHEN it will fail and not, IF it will fail. I believe in power within myself and others. Not the light or the dark, or which side I chose. To me I don't see people or faction in light or dark. I see the world for how it truly is, in shades of grey. No one is completely evil or completely good." Draco along with everyone else in the detention was flabbergasted by what she said. It all made sense.

Draco had to admit defeat in this conversation. He turned toward Crabbe and Goyle. Both of them completely unconscious with smoke coming from their heads. Tsukiko said with a tone of disappointment. "I guess it's still too early for Crabbe and Goyle to grasp the intricacy of political and social engineering of society as a whole. They both fainted half way through the conversation. What terrible servants I have." Tsukiko stood up and stretched her body out.

She said to him. "Draco. I know it's difficult to change your view of the world or what you have been taught all your life. However stop and think for a moment. Would you rather be a person who decide their own destiny and choice, or would you rather have someone else make that choice for you. The dark lord ideal target, use and deceived those who joined him. He make promises. He entice those with power with more power. He threaten and terrorise those who don't share his belief. Finally, he kill any who got in his way, whether they were allies or enemies." Draco then noticed a rather evil smile on Tsukiko expression. "If I were you. I won't join the dark lord. I would become one myself. With my own ideal and my own standards. It's far better to take your destiny into your own hands then place it with someone else. Good night Draco. Goodnight professor Snape." Tsukiko left the room afterwards.

Draco thought to himself. 'Me? Become a dark lord? It does sound like a good idea.' Draco was deep in thoughts for the rest of the night.

Severus was surprised by what Tsukiko had said. She managed to put doubt into Draco about his whole pure-blood upbringing and even suggested the idea of Draco become a dark lord himself instead of joining one like Voldemort death eater, he realized, did Tsukiko planned all this out before Christmas holiday? Did she lead Draco away from the death eater and Voldemort by appealing to his sense of pride and noble upbringing. Severus realised, Tsukiko Potter was a true Slytherin all the way. He could almost imagine the dismay on James Potter face when he learned his daughter was as much a Slytherin as he was a Gryffindor. However he would settle for Dumbledore dismay when Tsukiko start her fifth year. When she finally dissolved that Merlin forsaken betroth contract. He just need to find a way for Tsukiko to join the Slytherin house at the start of fifth year. He had plenty of time to find a loophole in the rules. Severus cackled with joy.

Sixth of January 1992

Potion class

Cedric Diggory was not having a good day. He and the rest of the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, were in the grip of fear and panic. Professor Snape was smiling and said to them. "Today. I like to play a little game. It's call, get my question wrong and you will stay here forever."

Cedric gulped in fear and thought. 'Please don't pick me. Please don't pick me.'

Professor Snape said loudly. "Mr Jordan. What would I get if I mix Bundimun Ooze. Streeler shells. Dragon liver. Hemlock essence and tormentil tincture."

Cedric could see Jordan panic and said with fear. "Everklena bottle. Sir?"

Professor Snape smiled and said. "Wrong. Mr Jordan. Mixing Bundimun Ooze. Streeler shells. Dragon liver. Hemlock essence and tormentil tincture would create Doxycide. Mr Jordan. You will be staying here forever."

Cedric saw tears in Jordan eye. Professor Snape then said loudly. "Miss Spinnet. What would I get if I mix Erumpent horn. Erumpent tail and exploding fluid." Cedric could see Alicia Spinnet panic and taking her time to think.

Professor Snape just said nonchalant. "Tick tock Miss Spinnet. I would like an answer before the end of class."

Cedric could see her panic worsen and she shouted out. "Exploding Potion... professor Snape?"

Cedric could see the same terrible smile as Professor Snape said to her. "So very close, but no. Mixing Erumpent horn. Erumpent tail and exploding fluid would make Erumpent Potion. You will be staying here forever." Cedric watched with fear as Alicia Spinnet broke down crying.

Professor Snape soon shouted. "Miss Stimpson. Was it mean of me to make Miss Spinnet cry?"

Patricia Stimpson was flabbergasted and on the verge of panic. She doesn't want to stay here forever with professor Snape. He was the meanest teacher she ever had. She lied with fear. "No sir. That was not mean at all."

Her hope was crushed when professor Snape smiled at her and said. "Miss Stimpson. I was actually being very mean to Miss Spinnet. You will be staying here forever." Patricia felt humiliated and horrible. She broke down and cried.

Cedric eyes widened in fear when professor Snape shouted. "Mr Diggory. Is it possible to even win this game of mine?"

Cedric thought for a moment and said with uncertainty. "No."

Cedric fear tripled when Professor Snape smiled and said with joy. "That is correct! Mr Diggory!"

Cedric gave himself a fist pump and hissed out in joy. "YES!"

That only lasted until Professor Snape said to him in a monotone voice. "However. You're still going to stay here forever. My game. My rule." Cedric felt manly tears in his eyes.

By the end of class. Professor Snape felt elated. It was fun to use the torture technique Miss Potter employed on Mr Crabbe and Mr Goyle. Miss Potter even gave him a book on modern day studies of psychological torture as a Christmas gift. He must admit. A smile here. A cruel laugh there was far more effective then he originally thought. He would need to reward Miss Potter for her gift. Maybe a personal spell or two from his repository would be the most suitable gift. Professor Snape gave out a cruel laughter when he walked passed a group of Hufflepuff. His heart filled with joy when they cowered in fear.

Albus Dumbledore was not having a good day. Complaints were piling up, it seemed Severus Snape has found a new way to torture the students. Madam Pomfrey had already complaint higher then usual turn out of students due to stress. Professor Flitwick had to play counsellor for one of his Ravenclaw. Tried to convince her to leave the shower room and that it was not a mistake to sort her into Ravenclaw. Apparently the poor girl was eating a whole pie under cold shower to deal with her stress. She even trashed the shower room in a psychotic episode. Now he had paper work requesting official school counsellor or discipline Severus Snape. Albus filled out the paperwork to find a school counsellor. He moved onto the bill for repair and replacing most of the wards in Hogwarts. Whatever Miss Satsuki did to the Hogwarts ward. She had done it in the most destructive fashion. He was fortunate to reach the school board before her letter did, and managed to convince the school board the wards needed replacing after the troll incident and not because Miss Satsuki destroyed them, while trying to reach Miss Potter. That would have opened a whole new can of worm, that Albus was just simply unwilling to deal with.

Albus heaved a deep sigh. What Miss Potter said to him a few nights ago at the Mirror of Erised had troubled him greatly. She had placed the Tohsaka above her own parents. Her loyalty was towards her current adoptive family. Albus could not openly move against the Tohsaka. Every time he had done so only resulted in his humiliating defeat and damage to his wealth, reputation and health. The test for Miss Potter was almost ready. Everything was in place, all he needed to do was incite Miss Potter interest. It was fortunate for him to come into possession of the Philosopher Stone. All he had to do was to tell Nicholas Flamel, that he had found a way to destroy the stone. Albus still could not understand why Nicholas was looking for a way to destroy the stone, but no matter. The stone would serve him well after the test. It was for the greater good after all.

Twenty-eight of February 1992

Gryffindor Dorm

It was evening, long after dinner. Hermione waited for Tsukiko to return from her detention with professor Snape. As Tsukiko entered the room. Hermione said with pride. "Tsukiko Potter I challenge you with my Occlumency. Today you will tell me your secret!"

Tsukiko smiled at her and said. "You sure about this Hermione? Every time you challenge me, you end up losing and rage at me for finding your embarrassing secrets, but I don't mind. Let's see what you got." Hermione turned red at this. Tsukiko had been digging up her skeleton in the closet every time she used Legilimency, and it was always embarrassing stuff.

She said with a huff. "If I don't try. I will never find out your secrets. I'm ready." Hermione brought up her Occlumency defence and braced herself.

Tsukiko chanted. "Legilimens" Hermione tried her best to resist. However she could feel Tsukiko slipped pass her defence. Tsukiko said to her with a blush. "Wow. I didn't actually think you would tried on my gift from Christmas. It does look go..." Hermione cut Tsukiko off with a book to the forehead. Hermione face turned bright red with a slight tears in her eyes.

She said angrily. "Why do you always do that!? That's private!" Tsukiko looked her in the eyes after she recovered from being hit.

Hermione felt something brushed against her Occlumency defence and shouted. "HEY!" It's then Hermione saw surprise in Tsukiko expression.

Tsukiko smiled and said happily. "Took you long enough to notice that."

Hermione flustered and said angrily. "Was that Legilimency? Did you just cast Legilimency without wand or verbal command!? Wait. If that was Legilimency. Then you're a master at Legilimency!" Hermione collapsed onto her knees and wept. Hermione said with a tone of frustration and anger. "If your a master at this spell. What chance do I have defending against you. Is that why you proposed this challenge? Because you knew I don't stand a chance. I really hate..."

Hermione was then hugged by Tsukiko and she said to her. "Congratulation Hermione. You passed." Hermione took a moment to process what Tsukiko had said.

Hermione let out the first thing on her mind. "Huh?"

Tsukiko smiled at her and said with joy. "You passed my test Hermione. The test was never about if you can defend against my Legilimency. The real test was, if you notice my wandless and non-verbal Legilimency attempt. You noticed it, even when your emotion was a mess from my taunting and provocation. Hermione, I feel safe to tell you what I did every weekend. I will show you where I go every weekend. Meet me here same time tomorrow. Also a small advice, pack lightly, we won't be staying here where we are going."

Hermione realised Tsukiko had always railed her up at the end of her every challenge with Occlumency. Hermione understood she must had really improved if she noticed that Legilimency attempt, even when she was embarrassed and angry at Tsukiko. The Occlumency book always made it a point that the practitioner must control their emotion for the defence to work. If she noticed that attempt it must meant that her Occlumency shield was now up almost all the time, even without her consciously making an effort to put it up.

Tsukiko said to her. "Hermione, this doesn't mean you can slack off. You still have to keep perfecting your Occlumency defence. all right?"

Hermione huffed and said. "I'm not you Tsukiko. I'm always studying while you're goofing off. Although you always get your homework done, unlike a certain red headed moron. Your choice of humour is still debatable. How can you like those awful show 'Bottom' and 'The Young ones'."

Tsukiko had an annoyed expression and said with a huff. "I like them because they are funny. Rik Mayall is a genius in comedy."

Hermione just gave her a deadpan look and said. "As I said. I don't get it." Both Tsukiko and Hermione turned in for the night. Hermione was feeling excited to find out where Tsukiko go every weekend.

Twenty-eight of February 1992

46a Craigdarragh Road, Helens Bay

Hermione could not believe it. She was in a state of shock. The full body mirror in their room was some sort of Floo network without Floo powder or a chimney. The mirror connected to her bedroom at her mansion home at 46a Craigdarragh Road, Helens Bay in north of Ireland. Tsukiko said to her with mirth. "Hermione you're making a rather weird and funny expression there." Hermione was too shock to even register that Tsukiko was taking the mickey out of her.

She just said. "But how? That's not Floo, apparate don't work in Hogwarts. It said so in Hogwarts. The History. That's not a port key either. What the hell is this mirror?"

Tsukiko said with mirth. "The mirror work on the theory of multi dimensional fracture, on the possible concept of Einstein–Rosen bridge. The mirror base it's working on Lorentzian traversable wormholes theory for two-way travel between both mirror." Hermione got a feeling that Tsukiko was taking the mickey out of her again!

Hermione said with exasperation. "Too much technobabble and jargon. So it's a more stable and cleaner type of Floo Network. I'm surprise the professor didn't know about it."

Tsukiko just said with a smile. "Course they don't. I invented it after all. They can't find it if they don't know what they are looking for."

Hermione thought for a moment and said. "You made this and it's safe!? Tsukiko. I don't care how smart you are... all right I do care about how smart you are. Stop giving me that look. However. You sure this mirror is safe for human use?"

Tsukiko looked away and said. "We only lost a few Gnomes at the early stages of testing this mirror. After a few adjustment. It's been safe ever since." Hermione felt her left eye twitch.

She said with annoyance. "I'm going to give up asking about this. I'm also going to ignore your use of Gnome as test subjects."

Tsukiko said to her with a huff. "Hey. I treat my Gnomes quite nicely. They get a portion of the garden and some supplies. They help me out with some dubious experiments. We don't actually lose Gnomes... very often." Tsukiko quickly amended.

Tsukiko knew she was digging a hole here and quickly changed the subject. "Anyway. Let me show you around. Since it's only seven in the afternoon. We got plenty of time before bed time." Tsukiko already send Lancer ahead to keep the illusion that he was at home and not in Hogwarts like always. She informed Sacchin that she would be bringing Hermione round for a weekend sleepover. For some reason Sacchin was very happy for her and said she would order sushi as a late snack for them. Just as Tsukiko predicted. Hermione was more interested in her library then any other part of the house. She had to drag Hermione away or else she might spend the whole weekend there. However Tsukiko made sure the entrance to her workshop and the basement was locked and hidden away from view. It wouldn't do for Hermione to see some of her kidnapping plots or less savoury experiment records.

Tsukiko and Hermione came to the living room and was greeted by Lancer and Sacchin. Tsukiko noticed Hermione was stuttering again when she saw Lancer. Too bad for Hermione. Lancer belong to her and only her. Tsukiko realized she was being possessive again.

Tsukiko heard Sacchin said to Hermione a little too happily. "Welcome Hermione-chan. I'm so glad Tsukiko-chan finally brought a friend home. With you here, Tsukiko-chan would have to spend time with all of us, instead of disappearing into her workshop and do experiments." Tsukiko face palmed. She really didn't want Hermione to know about her workshop.

Hermione said to her nonchalantly. "So you have a workshop. You didn't show me that."

Tsukiko said in defeat and resignation. "A magus workshop is a sacred place. I allow Sacchin-oneesan in, but not Lance-oniisan due to other reason." Hermione looked annoyed at her.

Tsukiko continued. "Hermione, your my friend. However, to enter my workshop you literally have to be family, and I will be frank. I'm not into girls."

Hermione face turned bright red when she realised what Tsukiko was implying. She was a bit annoyed at Tsukiko keeping secret again, but she understood. Because of her status as magus and heir of Tohsaka. Tsukiko was not allowed to break those rules. Hermione assumed Tsukiko workshop must have loads of stuff on her magic and research. If she just so happened to find it... 'NO!' Hermione thought to herself. She would not betray Tsukiko trust in her, Tsukiko trusted her enough to show her the magic mirror that was connected to her house, so she could visit her brother and sister every weekend. Hermione knew if the professors found out about the mirror, they would confiscate it. Hermione could see how much Tsukiko valued her family. She would never betray her like that ever again. Not like she did with the Tachikomas.

Hermione was brought out of her thought when Tsukiko grabbed her by her hand and said. "Hermione. Lets take a bath together. Your going to love the Japanese style bathroom." Hermione brain came to a grinding halt.

She blurted out in embarrassment. "Wh...What!? Us ta...take a bath to... together? A... Are you mad?"

Tsukiko just looked at her with confusion and said. "We're both girls here, so it's no big deal if you see me naked. It's not as if Lance-oniisan is going to join us. So you have nothing to worry about." Hermione blushed bright crimson.

She was about to objected and argue when Lance said to them. "Tsukiko-chan. The English are not used to the idea of bathing together like the Japanese. Also stop saying stuff like me joining you in the bathroom. You been asking that since you were eight years old. The answer is still no, you're getting too old to keep asking me to join you in bath and sleep on the same bed together." Hermione eyes widened at this. Tsukiko was REALLY daring and brazen. She asked her brother Lance to bath and sleep with her!? Hermione felt her face heat up.

Tsukiko then said. "Well. I have to keep trying... you know if you act now, Lance-oniisan. You get to see two girls naked and..." Hermione cut Tsukiko off with a book to the top of her head, knocking her out.

Hermione said angrily. "WILL YOU CUT IT OUT. Are you trying to embarrass me to death. I'm sorry Lance, Tsukiko is always like this, but I guess you would know that since you live with her."

Hermione face turned even redder when Lance laughed at them and said to her. "It's good to know you're keeping my A leanbh in line, you know. Tsukiko-chan is really happy to have you as her friend. Please look after her for us." Hermione almost fainted at Lance angelic smile.

She quickly shake Tsukiko awake and said to her. "Tsukiko, aren't you suppose to show me the bathroom? Well hurry up, we don't have all day." Tsukiko groggily led Hermione to the bathroom. Hermione came to regret her hasty decision without thinking it through. She blamed her hormone for this.

Hermione only had a towel covering her at this moment. Tsukiko was already naked and have a towel over her shoulder. Hermione could not take her eyes off her. Tsukiko had curves in all the right places. Nice perky A-cup breasts. Silky white skin. Nice tone body that suggest she exercise regularly, over all, a healthy frame of a girl starting to mature. Unlike herself, flat as a wash board and bald as a baby's bottom. Hermione became envious when she saw a tuft of hair on Tsukiko nether region.

She must had been staring for too long when Tsukiko said to her with a tone of worry. "Hermione. It's very uncomfortable if you stare at me like that." Hermione tried to control her envy and jealousy.

She said with an almost malicious tone. "Sorry Tsukiko. I just forgotten how much more mature you are compare to me. Especially when I am older then you by eight months." Tsukiko looked worried and nervous. Hermione realized she must not had hidden her anger quite as well as she thought.

Hermione noticed Tsukiko changed subject and said in a hurry. "The bath is ready. Let me show you the Japanese style bathroom." Tsukiko went ahead quickly and she followed her soon after. Hermione eyes widened in shock by the view before her. The entire bathroom was tiled with Japanese theme of bamboo shoots and bamboo fence. The floor was made of slightly rough black stone. Gave a really natural feel of walking outdoor. The wall was made with light brown polished wood on the upper half and coloured tiles on the bottom half. The bath itself was set literally into the floor. The bath was in the shape of a large square enough for eight people to sit in and still have room to spare. The rim of the bath was made of the same light brown wood that made the wall. The bath was literally made for walking into and not climb over. Hermione was puzzled by the three shower head on one side of the bathroom.

Hermione was about to walk into the bath when Tsukiko stopped her and said. "Hermione. Since this is a Japanese style bath. We need to wash like the Japanese. First we need to take off your towel." Tsukiko suddenly took her towel away.

She squeaked in embarrassment. "Ts...Tsukiko! What do you think your doing!?"

Tsukiko had a mischievous smile and explained. "First we need to scrub your body clean with soap and shampoo. Then we rinse off all the soap and grim with the shower. After all that, then we can go into the bath." Before Hermione could resist. She was forced to sit down on a low wooden stool. Hermione almost fainted from embarrassment when Tsukiko began to wash her back and massage her head and clean her hair with a very nice scented shampoo. Hermione quickly caught on and wash her front before Tsukiko did it for her. She finished with a quick blast of water from the shower head. Hermione felt very light headed after that cleaning ritual. She almost fainted again when Tsukiko asked her to wash her back. Hermione noticed Tsukiko skin was really smooth and soft. She could also feel the muscle underneath. After Tsukiko was done, she folded both their towels into small square and put one on top of her head and the other on top of her own head. Tsukiko then led her into the bath.

Hermione was in bliss when she submerged into the bath. She never knew bath could feel this good. Tsukiko smiled and said in a blissful tone. "When I come home every weekend. I always have a bath straight away. This bath is fill with bathing salt and other mineral that simulate a hot spring. Took awhile to get the right formula, but the result is worth it. When we finish, your whole body is going to feel really good., your skin will be smoother and softer, any ache and pain will disappear. Best of all, all your stress will vanish."

Hermione said in bliss. "Wow. I think I'm going to get addicted to this. Hogwarts shower and bath has nothing compare to this." Hermione and Tsukiko stayed for quite some time. When they left the bath. Tsukiko explained they need to dry themselves off properly before entering the changing room. Tsukiko gave her a kimono style bathrobe with flowering sakura tree printed on it. Tsukiko showed her how to put on a kimono. It was really embarrassing to have your friend dress you, but it was really comfortable type of clothing. When Tsukiko was done dressing her. Tsukiko put on the same pattern kimono on and led her into the dinning room.

Hermione was handed a bottle of chilled milk. Tsukiko said to her. "After a nice long hot spring bath. We finish off with chilled milk." Tsukiko downed the milk in one go and gave out a relief sigh of contentment. Hermione follow suit and drank the milk. It was divine. She never knew she could have such pleasant feeling of bliss from drinking milk after a hot spring bath. She soon gave out the same content sigh as Tsukiko. It was then Miss Satsuki came in with a box for sushi. Hermione never tried sushi before. She was afraid of the idea of eating raw fish.

Hermione watched as Miss Satsuki laid down the plates. Hermione had learned about the Japanese honorific. It was very different. She started using it and said to Miss Satsuki. "Thank you Satsuki-san."

Miss Satsuki said to her with a smile. "It's quite all right Hermione-chan. I guess you looked up Japanese honorific."

Hermione beamed and said. "Yes Satsuki-san. After Tsukiko called Lance. Lance-oniisan. I decided to look it up at home. Dad told me it was Japanese and taught me the honorific. Although I don't understand why Tsukiko call you 'Sacchin'."

Miss Satsuki explained with a smile. "Sacchin is actually a nickname that I allow Tsukiko-chan and Shiki-sempai to use. I also allow Lance to use my nickname, but he doesn't use it all the time, he complained it was too childish."

Hermione noticed Miss Satsuki finished laying out the plates for only two people and said to her. "Lance and I already eaten. I order enough for you and Tsukiko-chan. Lance is out drinking at the moment and I need to sort out some paperworks. I will leave you and Tsukiko alone for now. Have fun." Hermione noticed Miss Satsuki smiled and winked at her. Hermione blushed pink and was about to try one of the sushi.

Tsukiko stopped her and said. "Hermione. There is a way to get the best experience out of sushi. Here let me show you." Hermione watched as Tsukiko mixed a light green paste into a black sauce and said. "This is your first time eating sushi. So we only add a little Wasabi into the soy sauce. Wasabi is a very powerful spice that can tickle your nostril when eaten. Too much and you will be in tears and ruin the experience. Before you eat a sushi, you eat a slice of pickle ginger, also named Gari to clean your mouth and tongue off all other flavour and tastes, that way you can experience the full taste of the sushi you're eating." Tsukiko then passed her what she assumed was picked ginger. She took a light bite and her tongue was assaulted with a strong foreign flavour. It was very strong, fragrant and sweet. After she finished eating the Gari. Tsukiko picked out a pink slice of fish on rice and dipped it in the soy sauce. Hermione blushed when Tsukiko about to feed her with chopstick. Tsukiko must had noticed her discomfort and said. "I'm only going to do this once to show you how to eat them. This is Salmon Nigiri. I promise you will like this." Hermione hesitantly ate the sushi that was offered to her. A myriad of flavour exploded in her mouth. It tasted SOOOO good. With tears in her eyes.

Hermione said in bliss. "It's SOOO tasty. I never have anything like it before. The closes I ever had was the French restaurant my mum and dad took me to, when we visited London."

Tsukiko smiled and said. "Glad you like it. There are plenty more to try. We also got Bass Nigiri. Tuna Nigiri. Octopus Nigiri and Tamago Nigiri. Then we finish with Miso soup. Before you dig into the other Sushi. Always clean your plater with Gari before you eat another Sushi for maximum experience. Well, lets dig in. Itadakimasu." Hermione experience many divine flavour of Sushi that day. At the end of the meal, she was stuffed. It was nice to finish it all off with the Miso soup, Tsukiko said to her. "We only order a light sushi snack. Normally there would be Sashimi and Maki. There are also some really exotic Sushi, but they don't do delivery, if you like Hermione. We can arrange to visit a proper Sushi restaurant in the future."

Hermione blushed and said with a tone of panic. "No, you don't have too, this is really nice already. I can't ask for more, this must have cost you a lot."

Tsukiko said with a smile. "Hermione. Your my friend and I want to treat you to new stuff. I had fun watching you eat so happily. So please don't hesitate to enjoy yourself when I decided to treat you from time to time."

Hermione was about to protest. However she realised that would be very rude, she said in a soft voice. "Thank you. Tsukiko-chan. I can call you that, right?"

Tsukiko gave her a big smile and said. "Of course you can." Afterwards they said goodnight and retired for the night. Tsukiko showed Hermione to the guest room and Tsukiko returned to her own room.

Tsukiko entered her mind scape She laid her head on Arcueid lap. Arcueid smiled at her softly and said. "Did you have fun today? Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko smiled and said. "I did mum. Today was one of the best day I ever had. I feel really happy being with Hermione. We really had fun today."

Arcueid smiled happily as she lightly caress Tsukiko hair. Arcueid was thankful to Hermione. That girl was able to bring out the best in her daughter Tsukiko. Arcueid noticed Tsukiko was becoming more like herself, a normal girl enjoying her life then a magus obsessed with her goals. Arcueid wished with all her heart that Hermione would stay by Tsukiko side for as long as possible.

Second of March 1992

Gryffindor dorm

Hermione along with Tsukiko arrived back at Hogwarts on Monday morning. The guest bedroom was a lot more comfortable to sleep on then the bed here at Hogwarts. The past two days was brilliant. They visited Northern Ireland beauty spot with Satsuki-san and Lance-san. They went cloths shopping at the city centre. They gone to the cinema. Overall they had a good time. This was officially the first time she had a sleep over with a friend. Hermione said with a sigh. "I wish we could visit your place everyday. Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko laughed heartily and said. "Sorry Hermione-chan. We might get caught if we leave during the weekday. We can only go back during the weekend when most of the professors had gone home."

Hermione smiled and said with a giggle. "Tsukiko-chan. You know we might have broken every rules in the book with that mirror and sneaking away during the weekend. I can't believe I broke so many rules and I don't feel bad about it."

Tsukiko said with joy. "It's call having fun. Hermione-chan. We enjoyed every second of it. Anyway lets go get some breakfast and get ready for the day." Hermione made her way to breakfast with Tsukiko. She smiled happily.

Forbidden forest

The sun had already set. Draco, Goyle and Crabbe were currently within the forbidden forest under a very large cloak of invisibility and three sets of boots with silence charm enchantments. Even with those gears provided to them by Tsukiko. They still managed to make a ruckus. Draco thought back to how they got themselves into this mess.

(Flash back)

Draco was late. He was suppose to join Crabbe and Goyle in detention with Tsukiko. However Marcus Flint stopped him and had a 'chat'. Marcus insinuated that he could get Draco into the Quidditch team if he could get his father to provide some top of the line brooms for the Slytherin team. Needless to say, Draco saw through this and was a bit annoyed. Certainly it was normal for Slytherin to use another for their own gain. However Marcus Flint attempt was straight forward and without any finesses. Tsukiko would had made it sound like it was all about him and robbed him blind every time. She did in fact robbed him blind every time when she used her silver tongue and honey words. She always returned everything to him and pointed out what she had done. Also what to watch out for.

At first Draco thought he knew better then Tsukiko, at being a heir of a noble house. However she showed him, you could be a heir and still get robbed blind because of ignorance. When he thought about it, it's because he was a heir of a noble house. He would have more to lose and have many more unscrupulous people after any wealth they could get away with. So he began to study wizard laws and Gringotts contract with Tsukiko help.

Draco was deep in thought. He did not notice a half naked Tsukiko Potter looked at him in complete shock when he walked into the potion class without knocking. When he looked up and saw a half naked Tsukiko with a clean set of school robes in her arm. He was in shock. He must admit Tsukiko was beautiful, thought he never knew she wore such mature bra and underwear, or that she have breasts hidden away under those robes. Draco for the first time in his life, felt his life was in danger. When Tsukiko gave him an Arctic cold smile and dark purple crystal began to form in her left hand. With his survival instinct awoken. Draco ducked behind the closes table as a purple crystal smashed and blew up the table behind where he was standing. Instead of trying to talk his way out or saying something incredibly stupid like. 'Wait till my father hear about this!'. He bolted towards the door for his dear life.

Draco came across professor Snape with Goyle and Crabbe. Tsukiko was still hot on his tail. Draco had to assume he looked most undignified and pathetic when he ran towards professor Snape. He said with tears and no small amount of fear in his voice. "For the love of Merlin. Uncle Severus. Please save me. She's going to kill me!" Draco gave out an undignified scream when he saw an angry Tsukiko Potter storming towards him, once again in her school robe. A dark purple crystal forming in her hand. Both Crabbe and Goyle joined him and hide behind professor Snape from Tsukiko wrath.

Professor Snape sighed and said with irritation."What did Draco do this time?"

Tsukiko said with cold fury. "He walk in on me while I was changing. He didn't even knock on the door. So I'm just going to put him in the hospital wing for a week or two."

Draco found what little courage he had and said. "Why are you changing in the potion class? I was not expecting to see you half naked!"

Severus said to them both. "ENOUGH! Miss Potter. CALM down. Draco. SHUT UP. You are not helping." The crystal in Tsukiko hand disappeared, but she still glared at him angrily. Professor Snape said to Tsukiko. "Miss Potter. I will allow you to punish Draco. However no harm must be inflicted on him." Draco at first felt betrayed, but felt elated when professor Snape said she could not harm him. Professor Snape was looking out for him after all.

However that soon turned into despair when Tsukiko smiled and said. "I got an idea that would beat a spine into his spineless body."

(Flash back)

Tsukiko had send them into the forbidden forest to map out the locations of splinter Acromantula colony. Draco thought to himself. 'Tsukiko Potter is trying to kill me. There is no doubt about it. Because with the amount of noise Crabbe and Goyle make. They are going to become Acromantula chows.' Draco made his way toward the point on the map and came to a complete stand still. His survival instinct told him not to move. Three Acromantulas walked beside them. They all became still as statues, not even daring to breath. Then it happened. Crabbe sneezed. Draco almost groaned and thought. 'I'm going to die because of Crabbe. I knew I should have got better henchman. I am going to be eaten because of those two idiots.' The three Acromantulas surrounded them on all side, trapping them. Just as they were about to pounce. Two blue shadows and one dark shadow fell from the trees and landed on top of each Acromantula. Draco watched in disbelief when the dark shadow he saw was Tsukiko Potter with a sword embedded into the Acromantula head. The Acromantula didn't even have a chance to scream out as it died instantly.

Draco looked behind him and noticed the two blue shadows was Tsukiko Tachikomas. Each of them also embedded their swords into the Acromantulas head. Tsukiko took out her wand and cast a charm wordlessly. He did not recognise the spell.

She said to them. "It's safe to talk now. I placed a silence bubble around us. Draco, you didn't honestly think I would let you three wander alone out here, did you? Anyway. You guys did pretty well until Crabbe sneezed."

Crabbe said to her. "Sorry ma'am."

Tsukiko continued. "all right. I hope you guys learned a few lesson from this expedition. This is only a taste of what I plan for you guys on real missions. Now tell me. What do we do with the Acromantula we just killed." Crabbe and Goyle shook their heads.

Draco said to Tsukiko. "Dig a hole and throw them in?"

Tsukiko sighed and said. "If you killed a person and don't want to get caught. We dig a hole and throw them in. Those are Acromantula. What we do instead is take their venom sack, spinner gland and if possible Acromantula eggs. The silk and venom are worth a lot of Galleon. The eggs are worth even more if you know the right buyers. The rest of the body will be disposed off when other Acromantula find them. They eat their own kind. "

Draco thought for a moment and said. "Acromantula eggs are Class A non-tradable goods!"

Tsukiko gave him a neutral look and said. "Draco. You only worry about the laws if you plan to follow them. I don't plan on following the laws or plan to get caught selling them. That's why I said, if you know the right people. You can sell illegal goods for a lot of Galleon and not get caught doing it." Tsukiko touched each Acromantula and said with disappointment. "None of them have any eggs. Jack. Bob. Extract the venom sack and the spinner glands. You three, watch those two extract those organs. You three will be doing this someday." Draco along with Crabbe and Goyle paled when they watched the Tachikomas surgically removed the Acromantula venom sack and spinner gland. He felt sick and from the green look of Goyle and Crabbe. They felt sick as well.

Tsukiko instructed Jack and Bob to preserve the organ in their compartment with two ice rune jewels. She said to all of them. "Bob. Jack. Go into disillusionment. Bob stay on my right. Jack on my left. You three go under the cloak and stay behind me. Also try to keep up. We are getting out of here as soon as possible. A lot of Acromantula are going to descend in this area due to those carcasses. Once the silence charm come down, don't speak and don't sneeze. I will not be invisible, because you guys need to follow my every step. Any questions?" They all shook their heads. Tsukiko continued. "Good. Lets move."

Tsukiko kept her eyes open for everything and anything. She noticed a silver gleam from the corner of her eyes and looked in that direction. She put up a hand and motioned for every one to stop. She approached the silver gleam and took out her wand. She cast another silent bubble charm and said with a grimace. "Mad! Pure madness!"

Draco stood next to her and said with disbelief. "It's dead. Someone killed a unicorn!"

Tsukiko said to him. "That's not all. See the wound. Someone been drinking it's blood."

Draco look at her in confusion. "You said someone. Not something. How could you know? Also why would anyone drink unicorn blood? It's cursed. Everyone knows that."

Tsukiko pointed toward the ground and said to him. "Those are foot prints from boots. It's a someone instead of something. As for why anyone would drink unicorn blood. The blood of the unicorn can grant great power and healing to those who drinks it, but it come with a curse that make the drinker live a cursed life. A half life."

Tsukiko suspected drinking unicorn blood was the first step of turning someone into a vampire. Few years ago she researched unicorn blood and tried to remove the curse or use only it's healing property. However as soon as the information of a link between unicorn blood and vampirism. The entire research was destroyed and scraped. The one thing Rin was completely adamant about was forbidden research. This research would had earned her a sealing designation from the Clock Tower if they were in the magus world. Tsukiko said to them. "Let's get out of here. We need to let professor Snape know, that someone been drinking unicorn blood." They soon left the forest behind.

Tsukiko was deep in thought. Professor Snape knew something, but didn't want to tell her. He said he would look into it and forbade them all from entering the forbidden forest. He also mentioned to make sure no future detention would be conducted in the forbidden forest until the killer of those unicorn was caught. Tsukiko arrived at the room of requirement and told Lancer and everyone else what she found in the forbidden forest.

Hogwarts stairs

Tsukiko was walking back to the dormitories with Hermione and Ron. Everything had been calm for the past two weeks. Just when Tsukiko thought nothing could go wrong, the stair shifted while all three of them was still on it. It led them to the third floor corridor. Tsukiko tried to suppress an angry twitch as she realized who was responsible for this. The damn old goat was at it again. Tsukiko thought she might as well get this over with. Before she could reach the door. Ron beat her to it and walked straight in. Tsukiko had to resist the temptation to knock Ron out, why did he just walk straight in without asking why or where they were?

Hermione said to her in a whisper. "Tsukiko-chan. This is the third floor corridor. The forbidden corridor that the professor talked about."

Tsukiko sighed and said. "I know. Ron just charged straight in and the trick stair doesn't look like it's going to move any time soon. Let's go get him before the idiot get himself killed."

Tsukiko then heard a girly scream and groaned. She ran into the corridor and froze in shock. Ron was on the floor backing away from a Cerberus in fear. Hermione shouted at Ron to hurry over to them. However none of that matter to Tsukiko. Her focus was entirely on the Cerberus. Tsukiko thought. 'Glossy black fur. Deep throaty grow. Glistering light brown eyes. A big puppy that stood as tall as Hagrid. It cannot be! Why is he here?' Tsukiko shouted. "FLUFFY!"

Hermione was scared. This was the reason why professor Dumbledore said whoever goes to the third floor corridor would meet a very painful death.

Hermione was puzzled when Tsukiko shouted. "FLUFFY!" the Cerberus seemed surprised. All three heads stopped growling at Ron and turned towards Tsukiko. The Cerberus whined at her, Hermione noticed Tsukiko has a happy expression on her face and a little bit of tears in her eyes as she ran towards the Cerberus and hugged it. Tsukiko said to the massive Cerberus. "It is little Fluffy! Why are you here? Aren't you suppose to be at Gringotts training to be a guard dog?" Hermione tripped over herself when Tsukiko conversed with 'Fluffy'. Hermione almost forgot one of Tsukiko ability. Tsukiko was able to communicate with any magical creature, even the Tachikomas whistles and clicks.

Hermione could not hold back and said with surprise and annoyance. "Tsukiko-chan. Is that a friend of yours?"

Tsukiko said to her. "I knew Fluffy and his mother since he was a puppy. This little guy is still a puppy." one of the Cerberus head nuzzle up to Tsukiko chest as the other head seemed to whine and bark at her politely. Tsukiko hugged the Cerberus and said. "That is awful. I will have a word with him today, I promise! I will come by later and bring you guys some top-grade pork-chops and steaks. You guys earned it."

Hermione said with disbelief. "That's a puppy!? What did he say to you?"

Tsukiko replied. "Cerberus lives for a LONG time. Fluffy is still a puppy by their standard. As for what he said. You two are going to find out soon enough." Tsukiko almost growled at the last sentence. Tsukiko broke out of her hug and got a shell shocked Ron by the back of his collar and dragged him toward the door. Hermione followed after her. Tsukiko shouted back. "Fluffy. I will see you later. If you see two blue spider with plates of steaks and pork chops. Don't attack them. all right." Hermione looked back and saw the Cerberus crying tears of joy and waving goodbye at them. Hermione vowed to forget that last scene. It was too weird even for her.

Hagrid Hut

Hagrid was enjoying a nice cup of tea and a few of his favourite rock cakes. When his door was suddenly kicked open by a VERY angry Tsukiko Potter. Hagrid for a moment thought it was an angry Lily Potter who kicked his door opened and ducked behind his desk in fear.

Tsukiko said to him angrily. "Hagrid! I got a bone to pick with you. Why have you left Fluffy all alone at the third floor corridor for the past six month? The poor pup was bored out off his mind. He needs to get out and about instead of getting stuck in that small corridor."

Hagrid never seen Tsukiko this angry before and quickly explained. "Professor Dumbledore asked me to have a Cerberus guard the entrance. We borrowed one from Gringotts. I do come and visit him every week and the house elf has been feeding him."

Tsukiko said to him with a growl. "Hagrid. Fluffy need to move around and get some fresh air and the house elf has been feeding him COOKED meat. Fluffy like his food fresh and raw. I already have the Tachikomas sending him some fresh meat from the kitchen. Also what is so important that you and the old... I mean professor Dumbledore. That you need to keep Fluffy there the whole time!?"

Hagrid said without thinking. "Now that's between professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel."

Tsukiko eyes widened in shock. Nicholas Flamel!? The Philosopher stone! Tsukiko quickly thought of everything. Voldemort being in Hogwarts. Unicorn killing and someone drinking their blood. The elixir of life! Everything would add up if you threw the Philosopher stone into the mix. The unexpected bonus was a chance to kill her.

She then heard Hagrid said with realization. "I shouldn't have told you that."

Tsukiko replied neutrally. "No you shouldn't." Tsukiko walked out with Hermione and Ron just behind her. Just before Tsukiko left. She said to Hagrid with a imperious tone. "Hagrid. Take Fluffy out for a walk or I will come visit you again with Fluffy mum. You can explain to her why Fluffy is so miserable." Tsukiko saw Hagrid paled and nodded quickly.

Hermione knew Tsukiko rarely got angry, but when she does get angry. Tsukiko could be incredibly scary, she said to Tsukiko. "Tsukiko-chan. You know what's going on, don't you? You know who Nicholas Flamel is, don't you?"

Hermione could see Tsukiko bite her lips and said. "Hermione-chan. Stay out of this and don't get involved." Hermione had to suppressed her anger.

She argued. "Tsukiko-chan. You're my friend and you're keeping something very important from me. I want to help you, Tsukiko-chan. Stop pushing me away!"

Tsukiko thought for a moment. She knew Hermione was very stubborn. She wouldn't let this go if she did not explain why. Tsukiko said with a tone of defeat. "Hermione-chan. I think the Philosopher stone is in Hogwarts and Fluffy is guarding it. Also I believe someone is after the stone."

It was then Ron said to them. "It's got to be Snape. He's always been dark." Tsukiko had to suppress the urge to hit Ron. She knew it wasn't Snape, but those two didn't.

Tsukiko said to them both. "We don't know for sure. Ron. I want you guys to stay out of this. This isn't a game any more You should know what I mean by that. Hermione-chan." Hermione glared at her. Tsukiko returned the glare.

Hermione said to her. "I'm not going to change my mind Tsukiko-chan." Tsukiko felt annoyed and sighed, guess she would have to sneak away instead and get the stone. However first she need to make sure the old goat leave the castle and wouldn't return any time soon. She's got a cunning plan.

(Line break)

Two days later, early morning before breakfast. A black falcon with red outline tapped on the window of her shared dorm room with Hermione. Tsukiko let the falcon in before it could wake Hermione up with it's tapping. Two days ago she contacted one of Sacchin ally in America with her long range communication crystal. He agreed to help her and send the letter for their plan. It had to be delivered by avians. So it had taken two days to get here. The letter contained false information about a request to meet her and Sacchin by the current dark lord of north America. The old goat would act if she send this to Sacchin. He would try to catch Sacchin and the dark lord together. However this was a trap for the old goat and his order of phoenix. It would buy her enough time to secure the stone.

Tsukiko went to the Owlery and handed the letter to Hedwig before contacting Lancer. She said to him in her mind. 'Lancer-oniisan. Keep a close eye on the old goat. We will enact the plan as soon as the old goat leaves.'

She got her replies. 'I'm on it Tsukiko-chan. Don't go ahead without me. Wait for me.'

Tsukiko replied. 'I will, Lancer-oniisan.'

Headmaster office

Albus was ecstatic, keeping tab on Miss Potter letters had paid off. He knew the Tohsaka was up to no good and now he would be able to catch them in the act, Albus thought. 'There isn't much time until the meeting. He would only have six hours to gather everyone. The stone will be safe for a short time. He need to move now!' Albus smiled and said to Fawkes. "Take me to the ministry. Today is going to be a good day." A flash of bright yellow and orange flame. The office was once again empty, except for a smiling astralised Lancer.

Gryffindor Dorm

It was ten o'clock at night. Well after curfew when Tsukiko sneaked out of her bed fully dressed in her trench coat and mystic code clothing. She made her way toward the exit of Gryffindor tower when she was stopped in the common room by a prepared Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Tsukiko groaned and said. "Why are you two here? Aren't you two suppose to be asleep?"

It was Ron who said to her. "We could say the same mate. We're can't let you go alone."

Hermione then added. "Tsukiko-chan. I know you're going after the stone and trying to keep us safe by leaving us out, but I'm going with you whether you like it or not."

Tsukiko said with annoyance. "You know you're breaking curfew and could lose a lot of points for the house right?"

Ron said to her. "Only if we get caught."

Hermione said to her. "like he said and I'm sure you will keep us out of trouble."

Tsukiko realised she won't be able to stop them from coming, short of hexing them and knocking them unconscious.

Ron then said. "Hey Hermione. Why do you keep adding... umm... 'chan' at the end of Tsukiko name?"

Hermione said to him. "It's Japanese honorific for endearment. There is also kun for boys. San for respectful and most commonly used. Sama for teacher or someone of very important position..." Tsukiko noticed Ron eyes glazed over and starting to cross from Hermione explanation.

Ron shook his head and said in a hurry. "Forget I asked. I will just stick with Tsukiko." Hermione huffed at being rebuffed.

Tsukiko took out a very big invisibility cloak and said to them. "Lets hid under this. Since I cannot convince you two not to come along." All three made their way to the third floor corridor.

Third floor corridor

Tsukiko was incandescent with rage. Someone had beaten her to the entrance and Fluffy was badly injured. Tsukiko took out her diamond prana gem and began to heal the worse of Fluffy wounds. The puppy whimpered and told her someone cast a lot of dark spells at him. Caught him by surprise. Tsukiko saw deep cuts, burn mark and deep gouges. Tsukiko had a few idea what spells had cause them. Tsukiko with tears in her eyes said. "Bob. Jack. Stay here and tend to Fluffy wound. I dealt with the worse of it. You guys bandage up the rest." Tsukiko turn toward Hermione and Ron. She said to them. "I need you two to go back now. This is getting dangerous, whoever did this to Fluffy knew some really dark hex."

Hermione said to her with a serious expression. "All the more reason we need to stick with you. Your not getting rid of us that easily." Tsukiko almost cursed out loud. Hermione was being very stubborn, she really hated that part of her. Tsukiko calmed down, she needed to move fast, she didn't have time to argue with them.

She said to them. "Fine. You guys can come. However if things get dangerous. Leave and get help, or I swear I will hex the both of you and drag your sorry carcass out." both Ron and Hermione flinched at her tone and threat.

Tsukiko moved to the entrance and opened the trap door. The lock was already broken. Tsukiko took out a quartz sphere and channelled her prana to activate it. The sphere glowed a soft blue colour and she threw it into the entrance on the ground, the sphere travelled deep into the ground. Tsukiko said. "It's pretty deep and from the looks of it. There is a devil's snare down there." Tsukiko took out her wand and chanted. "Incendio Tria" Tsukiko set the devil's snare alight with the largest flame she could cast without using any of her jewels. After the devil's snare was burn to ashes. Tsukiko used a cold air charm to blow away the smoke and a cushion charm at the bottom of the trap door entrance. Tsukiko said to Hermione and Ron. "It's safe now. Follow me." Tsukiko jumped in and landed on the cushioning charm. Hermione and Ron followed soon after.

Tsukiko along with Hermione and Ron arrived at a room with flying keys. There were brooms set aside next to a locked door.

Ron said to her. "Look like we need to catch one of the keys, but which one?" Instead looking for the key. Tsukiko use 'Structural Analysis' on the lock. Ron then said. "I'm pretty good on the broom. I will grab the keys and we will try each of them."

Tsukiko replied. "No need. I got the key right here." Tsukiko held up the key she made using 'Gradation Air'. A lesser form of 'Tracing' and cost a lot less prana then using 'Tracing'. Both Ron and Hermione gaped at her like a pair of gold fish. Tsukiko said to them. "If you got any questions. Leave them after we got the stone. Lets go."

They came into a room with a massive life size chess board with life size chess pieces. Tsukiko realized the whole room was a game of wizard chess. Ron strode forward and was stopped by the animated black chess pieces. They drew their swords threateningly.

He came back and said. "Look like we have to play wizard chess to get through."

Tsukiko sighed and said. "We don't have time for that." Tsukiko then smiled evilly as she approached the chess board and said to Ron. "Ron. Do you remember what I did to the chess pieces when we played wizard chess?" Ron thought for a moment and paled.

He said with fear. "Mate. Don't do it! If you're going to do what I think you're going to do."

Hermione was confused and said to Ron. "What did Tsukiko-chan do when you played wizard chess with her?"

Ron buried his face into his hand and said to her. "Your about to find out. She is bloody bonkers."

Hermione then heard Tsukiko shouted. "Get them guys!" Hermione eyes widened in shock when all the white chest pieces charged at the black chest pieces all at once.

Tsukiko used 'Structural Analysis' to examine the magic of this wizard chess and modified it like she did with Ron wizard chess. She changed the command setting of the white chess pieces to include a free for all battle royal command. Once she shouted her command. All the white chess pieces charged across the board and beat the living day lights out of the black chess pieces. Tsukiko witnessed a very vicious blow by the white queen onto a black bishop. She said with mirth. "Wow. The queen knock the black right out of that bishop."

Hermione said to her with annoyance. "Tsukiko. That's racist!" before Tsukiko could respond with a joke about 'Queen beating the bishop'.

Ron said to them. "I don't get it. How is that racist?" Hermione sighed and shook her head.

They arrived at a large round room. Ron covered his nose and mouth as he was assaulted by the smell of charred garbage and flesh. His eyes widened in shock when he saw a massive charred remain of what he assumed was once a troll.

Ron heard Tsukiko said to them. "Lets get out of here. Before the smell set into my cloth." They quickly left the room.

They arrived at a room with seven potions on the table. Tsukiko immediately held them all back. She could sense a powerful magic in the room. Encircling the desk. Tsukiko thought of a plan and said to them. "Wait here. Something isn't right." Tsukiko moved to the table and was surrounded by purple flame and black flame. The purple flame cut Tsukiko off from Hermione and Ron. The black flame blocked her way forward. Just as Ron was about to move. Tsukiko shouted. "Don't move. Don't touch the flame. You two head back. There is nothing you can do to bypass the flame. I will work out the puzzle and move forward. Go get the professors."

Tsukiko heard Hermione shouted back. "But you can't go in alone. What if the person after the stone is in there."

Tsukiko smiled and said. "Just who do you take me for Hermione-chan? I'm a magus. I walk with death on the daily basis. Now go." Tsukiko read the riddle and used 'Structural Analysis' on each bottle. Tsukiko winced when she put her hand on the 'Poison' bottle. They didn't contain poison, but VERY powerful laxative. If you drank those, you wouldn't make it to the toilet before everything came out. There were three laxative potion. Two nettle wine. One potion that would allow you to go through the purple flame and one that allowed you to go through the black flame. Tsukiko drank the small purple bottle and strode through the black flame with Lancer just behind her.

Tsukiko arrived at the last chamber. The mirror of Erised at the centre of the room and the person stood before the mirror was none other then professor Quirrell. He snapped his fingers. Tsukiko was wrapped up and bound tightly with a very long rope. She could break the spell any time she wanted, her mystic code trench coat had a spell woven into the Cherubim symbol on the back, the spell was designed to break multiple number of binding spells which also included the Incarcerous spell that was cast on her. However there was no need to reveal her true abilities to Quirrell.

He said to her. "You are an enigma. Potter. How did you really defeated the troll? How did you stop my master Legilimency? You and Severus have been a thorn at my side. He suspected me, so I tricked him by locking him in the same room as that three headed mutt. The useless dog couldn't even bite his leg off. No matter, I dealt with the pathetic creature, it should have bled to death by now." Tsukiko glared at him with hate. Quirrell continued. "Although I never expected you to kill the troll in such... 'creative' manner. If I didn't know better. I say the sorting hat had put you into the wrong house, but it matters not. After I acquire the Philosopher stone. I shall kill you. Then present the stone to my master."

Tsukiko remained silent for now. Trying to work out what questions to ask, to find out what Quirrell knew. She could not risk using Legilimency to find out, if he notice, a fight would break out and she would lose her chance at finding out what he knew. Tsukiko needed to know how Quirrell planned to bring Voldemort back with the Philosopher stone. She needed to know how Quirrell planned to create a living body with the Philosopher stone?

Tsukiko heard Quirrell said. "I see the stone. I'm presenting it to my master, but where is it?" Quirrell then wailed. "I don't understand master. Is the stone inside the mirror? Should I break it? Help me master!"

Tsukiko was surprised when she heard a voice. "Use the Potter. Use the girl." Quirrell rounded on her and dragged her towards the mirror.

He hissed at her. "Look in the mirror and tell me what you see."

Tsukiko told the truth. "I see myself together with my family. What else are you expecting?" Tsukiko then noticed her reflection smiled at her and placed an object into her trouser pocket. Tsukiko felt the object in her own pocket. Tsukiko gave only one thought. 'That fucking old goat. How stupid can you get!?' Quirrell pushed her back and started pacing back and forth in front of the mirror. She then heard a voice from Quirrell, but not Quirrell.

It said. "Let me speak to her... face to face."

Quirrell then said to the voice. "As you wish master."

Tsukiko watched as Quirrell took off his purple turban and an ugly face she had not seen since she was six years old, was on the back of Quirrell head.

Voldemort said to her. "Potter... see what I have become? Mere shadows and vapour. I only have form when I share another's body, but there are some who let me into their hearts and minds like faithful Quirrell here. I have strengthened myself with Unicorn blood. Once I have the Philosopher stone and with the elixir of life. I shall have a new body." Tsukiko mind was running a mile a minute. Putting on a fake expression.

She said in false fear. "Impossible! You can't make a new body with the elixir of life." Voldemort smiled at her and said triumphantly. "Oh it is possible. Quirrell will willingly give me his body. The elixir will remove the curse and restore my strength. I shall be reborn!" Tsukiko was annoyed. Extremely annoyed. Voldemort planned to possess Quirrell completely. Voldemort only needed the elixir of life to remove the curse and restore himself. Voldemort then said to her with a evil smile. "Why don't you hand over the stone in your pocket. If you do. I will bring your parents back to life. It's within my power to bring Lily Potter and James Potter back. You can have the family you always wanted." what Voldemort said made her remembered a conversation she had with Rin when she was six years old...

(Flash back)

Tsukiko was listening intently about the five true magic. Rin explained the third true magic to Tsukiko in great detail. Rin said to her. "The third true magic also know as the 'Heaven's feel' is a magic that allows for the 'materialization of the soul' it's a very complicated lost magic. One of it's benefit is the power to grant any wish a person desires." Tsukiko eyes widen at this.

She said with hope and joy. "If I master the third true magic. I can bring mum and dad back to life! I can have Lily and James Potter back. Magic is amazing, it can do anything. I can have my family back."

Tsukiko was shocked when Rin slammed her hands onto the table and said to her angrily. "You must never make a wish like that! The third true magic cannot bring back the dead. Nothing can! Once a person gone beyond Akasha. They can never come back."

Tsukiko was crying when she heard she couldn't bring her parents back. She said to Rin with despair and sorrow. "Why? Why can't I bring them back. If I study hard. I know I can master it. Then I can have my family again. I can..." Tsukiko was cut off when Rin hugged her. Tsukiko could feel tears on her shoulder.

Tsukiko was shocked to see Rin cry. She said to her. "Tsukiko-chan. Listen to me. When a person dies. His or her soul returns to Akasha. A place of no return. The Heaven's feel can create a new soul that can have the same memory, mind or even magic circuits of the person you wish for, but it's a lie. They may have the same memory. Same voice. Same face, but they are not really your parents, Tsukiko-chan. You have to let you mum and dad go. You have to let Lily and James Potter go. Please don't live in a lie. Please." She really wanted her parents back. Tsukiko cried to sleep in Rin embrace that day.

(Flash back)

Tsukiko thought back to that day. It took her a while, but she understood what Rin said. In the end she let Lily and James Potter go. Even if she mastered the third true magic, she would never use it to bring her parents back to life. When Voldemort offered to bring her parents back to life. Tsukiko dropped her facade and laughed. A laughter filled with malice and mockery. She could see surprise on Voldemort face. She said with venom in her tone. "You are nothing, but a egomaniac with a god complex. Calling you a third-rate spell caster would be an insult to my brother Shirou. You are nothing, but a fifth-rate trash. You want the stone. Catch!" Tsukiko got the Philosopher stone between her finger and thumb. She flicked the stone over the back of Quirrell shoulder. With both Voldemort and Quirrell distracted. She took out a Herkimer diamond with 'light' rune on all it's surface. She poured her prana into the diamond and flicked the diamond straight into Voldemort face and closed her eyes. Voldemort and Quirrell screamed in pain as the light blinded Voldemort.

Quirrell was in pain. It hurt. It really hurt! He could still see, he picked up the Philosopher stone with a grin. He spun around and faced Potter, still bound and helpless. He hissed in hate. "And now you die. POTTER. Avad..." Quirrell was cut off when he felt a sudden pain in his chest. He looked down. His eyes widened in shock and horror as a red barbed spear protrude from his chest. He felt even more pain when the spear was pulled out violently from his back. He could not see who stabbed him. His legs losses all their strength as coldness slowly envelope his body. He fell face first onto the cold stone floor. Then he heard the sound of shatter glass and looked toward where Potter was. What he saw made him realized, he and his master had been fooled. Potter stood before him with six blood red wings, glared down at him. Those eyes held no emotion. No pity. No remorse. Those were not the eyes of a child.

She said to him in an emotionless tone. "In the end, you are the one who was helpless and powerless. In the end this is all you amount to, a corpse." Quirrell could only watch as Potter picked up the Philosopher stone. She then said to him with mocking and malicious tone. "However. You will serve one last purpose for me. Once I destroy your body. They will think you ran away with the stone. Thank you Quirrell, for your sacrifice." Quirrell died with disbelief and shock.

Tsukiko turned her back to Quirrell and waited for a few seconds. She whispered 'Trace on'. Tsukiko spun around and drove a black key into the shade of Voldemort.

Voldemort would not admit defeat. He could still possess Potter. He would use her to resurrect himself. As he was about to fly into Potter. She spun around and drove a black sword into him and it BURNS. He screamed and glared at her in hate. He was shocked and puzzled when he met with emerald green eyes that was filled with pure hate. Hatred that was just as intense as his own. With a scream he pulled away from her and flew down the corridor. Within moment his form was ejected from Hogwarts.

Tsukiko knew she could not kill Voldemort. With Voldemort face behind Quirrell head. They would see her trump card. Her guardian Lancer. During Quirrell rant Tsukiko had Lancer positioned himself behind Quirrell and not standing between them. Then Tsukiko instructed Lancer to wait for her signal to attack. She gotten what she wanted to know. Which was nothing. Neither Quirrell nor Voldemort knew how to create a working living body. Not even with the Philosopher. Voldemort even had the nerve to say he could bring Lily and James Potter back to life. The fool had no idea what it meant to take something like a deceased soul from Akasha. The Root. She was right to call him a fifth rate trash. She signalled her attack with a flash gem. With Voldemort blinded. They never saw their attacker. Lancer drove Gal Bolg into Quirrell heart from behind. No amount of unicorn blood or healing magic would save him. One of the most devastating properties of Gal Bolg was any wound inflicted by the cursed spear could never be healed, except by normal means. One thrust through the heart was a sure kill.

Tsukiko thought for a moment. Perhaps she could have kill Voldemort with papa Shiki's mystic eyes of death perception. However she decided against it. She had no idea what the consequences was for using the eyes, and if it was anything like tracing noble phantasm. She could not afford to be vulnerable here. Tsukiko thought inwardly toward her mind scape 'Shirou-oniisan. I need your help. I need to use your structural analysis on the Philosopher stone.'

She soon got a reply. 'Go ahead Tsukiko-chan. I'm touching the obelisk now.' Tsukiko used Shirou 'Structural Analysis' on the Philosopher stone. She got it's complete history and how it was made. Her eyes widened in shock. She was trembling.

Lancer noticed and said with concern. "Tsukiko-chan! What's wrong?" Tsukiko stopped trembling.

She felt tears ran down her face and said with joy. "I found it! I found a way to bring everyone back! Lancer! We need to contact Nicolas Flamel. I know how to get hold of him." Tsukiko held the stone out to him and said. "Take the stone and secure it back home. This is top priority. The stone must not fall into anyone else's hand. You go ahead. I will deal with the body." Lancer took the stone from her. He astralised and left. Tsukiko took out a jade gem stone with 'water' and 'earth' runes carved onto it's surface. She charged up the gem and placed it on top of Quirrell body. A moment later. Viscous green goo cover the body and dissolved Quirrell. She then used a Scouring Charm to removed the goo that was once Quirrell. Tsukiko then left the room with a beaming smile.

(Line break)

New York unknown alley

It was early evening in New York. Albus had managed to gather close to twenty Auroras for this operation. With this many skilled men and women. He would subdue the dark lord and Miss Satsuki. With the Tohsaka exposed as a truly dark family. He would have no problem regaining his magical guardianship of Miss Potter. Albus was still troubled by the fact neither Severus or Moody joined him in this operation. Severus excused himself, saying he got more important work needed to be done. Moody shot him down as soon as he mentioned Miss Satsuki name. Moody even called him a deluded old fool. Honestly! He said to the men and women that was escorting him. "Remember ladies and gentlemen. We are in the colonies at this moment. Unless we see the dark lord and Miss Satsuki together. NO spell casting. The Americans have a strict policies on casting spells in front of muggles. Also they don't know we are here. Since we did not have the time to sufficiently warn them. Only cast your spell if we see them together or if your life is in danger." Albus and his Auroras arrived at the door of the meeting place. Double checking the letter and the name. He smiled and entered the establishment called 'The Blue Oyster Bar'.

Ten seconds later, multitude of screams could be heard from the establishment as the music of 'El Bimbo' could be heard in the back ground.

A/N: Here is my first omake. To Raidentensho for this wonderful inspiration.

Omake: Draco Ventura

Zelretch watched with amusement. The Tachikomas was fun to watch. He laughed when Draco Malfoy was shot almost twenty time with tranquillizer darts and had an inspiration. With a flash of multi colour light, Zelretch vanished from his office.

Draco slept fitfully, twisting and turning, struggling with an unseen horror. He never noticed a red eyes old man smiling at him ear to ear with amusement.

Hogwarts dinner hall

The dinner hall was packed with students eating breakfast. Just as Tsukiko finished her milk. The dinner hall doors was forced open with a bang. The hall fell silent. Tsukiko had to blink twice at the sight before her. Draco Malfoy was in a white vest. A VERY colourful Hawaiian shirt, red and black strip pants. Draco hair style actually looked like Elvis Presley's, except it's a lot sharper and define. She was not the only one shocked by the sight before her. Ron was chocking to death on his food again. Hermione had a shocked expression like everyone else. Even Severus looked mortified.

Tsukiko noticed Draco looked towards her and had the sunniest and happiest smile in the world. He strode up to her in a ridiculously wide gait and said to her. "A little bird told me you can talk to animals."

Tsukiko said with suspicion. "Yes? What is it to you?"

Draco smile widened and said. "I like you to join me on an adventure. Let us visit the South American jungle. Find lost creature of legend, with you at my side, there is nothing we cannot do. Two people able to connect and talk to animal. We are meant to be together." Tsukiko blinked again. Did Draco just proposed to her!? Tsukiko thought for a moment. Did he just say, he could also speak to animal? Just as she was about to question him. A flock of owls flew in. Draco smiled and said. "Let me show you my dedication." Draco then jumped on top of the Hufflepuff dinner table. He was bending over and pointed his ass skywards and shouted. "Lend me your ears. My avian friends. Please help me convince Tsukiko Potter. I am a proper choice of a partner. Help me convince her to join me on a GRAND adventure."

Tsukiko was speechless and thought inward to Rin. 'Rin-oneesan. Did Draco just talked out of his ass!?'

Rin replied with shock and suspicion. 'Yes he did Tsukiko-chan. However this feels VERY familiar.' Tsukiko was further shocked when the owls answered him and flew in formation. Forming a heart just behind Draco as he did a victory pose. The owls then settled onto both his outstretched arms and hooted in blissful joy. He leaped down from the table and was about to say more. However professor Snape snatched both Draco and herself by the back of their collar. Lifting both of them up like a pair of naughty kittens and walked out of the dinner halls with her and Draco in his hands.

Draco complained to Severus. "Hey man. You're cramping my style!"

Tsukiko was giggling as Draco was singing. Draco sung from the top of his lung. "Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you. And our pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang love us, too. Hi, ho. Everywhere we go on Chitty Chitty we depend. Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our fine four-fendered friend. Our fine four-fendered... Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Bang Bang YEAH!"

Severus growled and shouted. "WOULD... YOU... BE... SILENT!"

Severus then turned to her and said. "And you! Stop encouraging him. We need to find out what is wrong with my godson." However as soon as Draco walked into professor Snape office. He had a horrified expression. Professor Snape office was filled with preserved animal and creature in formalin jars. Draco began to freak out and screamed in a very weird manner. He then giggled and cried in a strangest way. Both Tsukiko and professor Snape was stun by his reaction. Professor Snape said in a worried tone. "Draco. Are you all right?" Draco made a sound like puking and screaming mixed together. Then he stopped suddenly.

He had a big wide eyes smile that seemed forced and said to professor Snape. "Why! This is a LOVELY room of death. Bye bye. See you later." Draco stormed out into the corridor away from professor Snape office.

Tsukiko was about to make a run for it when professor Snape grabbed her by the should and said to her angrily. "I don't know how, but what did you do to Draco?"

Tsukiko was flabbergasted and said. "It wasn't me this time. I swear." Professor Snape glared at her.

Draco walked out the front door and came to a stop. A delivery man said to Argus Filch. "Delivery for professor Snape. Please be careful with this. It's very fragile." Draco then saw Hagrid walking with a Cerberus on a leash.

Draco said with an imperious tone. "SIT! FLUFFY!" The Cerberus walked towards the delivery and sat on top of it. Breaking many fragile potions and ingredients. All three adults cried in disbelief. Draco stormed away with a smile.

Tsukiko was scrubbing cauldrons as punishment. She said with annoyance. "But I didn't do anything this time!"

A/N: Another chapter done, only one more chapter to go then it's the end of year one. I assumed some of my reader was expecting a long and drawn out fight between Quirrell and Tsukiko. My apologies if I disappointed anyone with such a short conflict. This was planned from the beginning. As I said in the previous chapter, I already planned out impressive battle in year two. Four and five. The final battle will be on a massive scale and full of surprises. The next chapter will be VERY dark. It will tie up a lot of lose ends and begin a whole new level of mysteries in this fic. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I had writing it. Now to answer some reviews.

setsuna911: I had read quite a few fic involved Draco. In most of them, he is a lemming with zero survival instinct. In my fic. He will slowly wise up with various revelations. It will not be instantaneous. In this chapter he discovered his survival instinct and learn to wish for more then just be someone else's underling. Draco will change and develop slowly. I still plan to throw him into situations that would be both dangerous, embarrassing and hilarious.

DrackNath: Dementor would play a very important part in year three. However Lancer should worry more about the Veela in year four then the Dementor.

Mwkillkenny84: Good point! There is a possibility that Rule breaker can undo curses in UBW. If the curse is linked to the soul. I cannot rule this out due to a VERY important plot in the future chapter. However Severus will not reveal his death eater past to Tsukiko. This version of Severus Snape has a lot more to lose then the cannon, because he genuinely cared about Tsukiko. He would do almost everything in his power to prevent Tsukiko from hating him, since he won't know how Tsukiko will react if she find out how Voldemort learned about the prophesy that killed her parents.

Soutrick: This chapter only show one of many thing that will change Draco. It will be slow and it will be fun.

cmartist: Chapter one and two was when I tried my hands at making a fic for the first time. There would be quality issues. I want to assure you, my grammar will improve over time. However it's not going to happen over night. Thank you for your patience, I know it's annoying to have the flow of the story cut off by bad or wrong tense, the only thing I can say is. I am working on it, but please continue to place your review. I always value honest opinion and criticism. I will answer them to the best of my ability.

To all my reviewers. Thank you for your support and pointing out my mistake. As the author of this fic. I will fix any mistake you point out ASAP. Getting November and September mixed up is a pretty big mistake. I thank everyone for their continue support and hope to live up to your expectations. Until the next chapter. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
