A/n: I'm back! Finally! Sorry everyone, I got a huge case of writer's block, and I got stuck halfway through the chapter. But, I finally completed it, though I can't exactly say that it's perfect. If this chapter seems kinda out of sorts or a little weird, I take full responsibility. Sorry for keeping ya waiting, everyone.
And thank you all so much to all my reviewers, I love ya all. You guys gave me the support to finish this chapter, or else I was thinking of abandoning this story. Thank you so much, once again.
To my guest reviewer's, I'm glad you took time to comment on my story, even though some of you didn't find this story up to the mark. Still, I promise I'd do better next time.
Now shoo! Go read the chapter! I didn't type this long chapter to bore you out with the Author's note, did I?
Naruto scowled. That kid Konohamaru, who happens to be the Third Hokage's grandson, was following him since the morning. Why the hell is that brat following him around? He swore if the kid doesn't stop his stalking, he surely will hex the boy into oblivion with the new cool Jutsu Theo-nee chan taught him. But he didn't want to use it on a little kid like that.
Where was Theo-nee chan when you need her?!
Snape's level 1 glare was his normal expression –because everyone knew that bastard never smiles- and his level 2 glare was reserved for first Years. Severus Snape Level 3 glare was reserved for Neville Longbottom when he messed up with his potion, and Level 4 was booked for Potter and Friends. Level 5 glare, however, had a flee on sight order among the students, and whenever he had this intense level of glare on his face, it meant that Trixie must have done something to the Potions Master. It wasn't a secret that Snape hated Trixie's guts much more than he hated Harry –and that's saying something, since everyone thought no one could hate Harry as much as Snape does. It was because to Snape, Trixie was the reincarnation of Sirius Black.
The need to explain different Levels of Snape's glares was not because Trixie misses the Potions Master dearly. Actually, the truth was far from it. The thing is, once again Trixie got herself into some serious trouble, though this time she doesn't know what she did to get into this mess.
Trixie shrunk in her seat, wishing to disappear off the face of earth as the Third Hokage pinned her with a worthy Severus Snape Level 5 glare. She was reminded of the times she had spent in Dumbledore's office when that old man gave her Detentions, and pinned her with a stern look. How many times had she been to Dumbledore's Office for her infamous pranks, well, she had lost count after the first two hhundrend and seventy five. She seemed to have beaten the records of even the Marauders!
Anyways, the way the Third Hokage was eying her warily, she wondered if she had done something wrong.
It hasn't even been ten minutes yet since she had arrived, and she was already sweating profusely. Where was her Gryffindor Courage when you need it?
After staring at her for God knows how long, the Third Hokage finally spoke up "I have heard quite great things about you from Naruto. He seems to be quite taken with you."
She looked at him, bewildered. The Hokage talks with Naruto on a regular basis? Why didn't that brat tell her so? Well, it isn't like she could do anything about it, but still! It'd have been nice to have known beforehand, instead of getting shocking news like this!
Knowing Naruto and his blabbering mouth, he must have told him everything about her –but didn't she asked Naruto to keep it a secret about how she got here, and about how she could change her age on a whim? Naruto isn't that kind of person who backstabs anyone. She didn't think he could've betrayed her and told everything about her to the Hokage without her consent.
Then it leads us to the next question –what exactly did Naruto tell the Hokage?
"And even the clan heads trust you a lot, such that their kids to spend time with you." The Third Hokage's voice cut through her thoughts like a knife. His expressions softened a bit, but then hardened and she shivered unpleasantly at his accusatory glare. "But Konoha has no records of your arrival, and even of your Identity, so it leads us to the main question- who are you and why are you here?"
Realisation dawned on her. The Hokage hasn't called her here to discuss about Naruto's well being after that stunt he pulled two days ago –because honestly, who would steal some important documents just to pass a Graduation exam? Seriously, Naruto was too gullible for his own good. Even an idiot like Mizuki tricked him into stealing a highly important scroll. The Hokage knew she has ties with many clan heirs of Konoha, and to the extension to their clans. And not only that, she has a special bond with the kid he treats like his own grandson, and the Ultimate Weapon of Konoha- the Jinchurikki of the Nine Tailed Fox. He just wanted to make sure is she was reliable or not. For all he knew, she could be a spy. She did appear in Konoha without any records of who she was and where she was from. She has too many holes in her story of being 'Naruto's sister For one, she didn't look anything like Naruto, well except for the fact that somehow the shapes of their faces matched perfectly, and her eyes are as wide as his. But that's where the similarities end. Where he had tanned skin, she had skin shade even darker than his. He had bright blonde hair, she had dark blue hair that reached up to her waist –or if you regard her original hair colour, then that is the boring brown which seems to light up on fire when sun rays fall on it. While his eyes were bright blue, with shadows of loneliness and pain, her eyes were brown with gold streaks, having violet specks in them, which is more prominent than the gold making her eyes look almost black. Her eyes had a hint of darkness, contorted anger and agonizing pain all mixed in them, but is neutralised by her sadistic quirks, amusing personality and easy-going nature.
To summarise it, Naruto was a little ball of sunshine, while she was the never ending darkness. Naruto was broken pieces of a vase that was holding together with sheer determination, while she was the shattered pieces of a mirror that had no hopes of ever being back to how she was. Naruto was like a diamond that shone ever so brightly, she was like a coal that burns once in it's life, and then is lost forever.
The Hokage was wondering if she was a threat to his village or not. Well, she wasn't sure about the village, but she knew she couldn't ever think of hurting Naruto and what he holds precious. And if Konoha is precious to Naruto, then she'll make sure that nothing harms this village. The rest of the world could go and burn itself for all she cared, but no one can harm what is precious to Naruto. Because Naruto was important to her. He was the reason of her existence.
And she'd be damned if she let anyone hurt the reason of her existence.
"By that if you mean that if I mean any harm to Konoha, then be assured. I don't." She answered in a soft tone.
The raw honesty and truthfulness in her voice astonished him. The way she looked at him with eyes as hard as steel, but oh so soft like a fragile glass surprised him. He has never met anyone so expressive, yet so closed-off. How is it possible that this woman can appear warm and cold at the same time? Such kind of look only appears after one experience something horrible and gruesome. He had seen such looks only on the faces of war veterans -On the faces of survivors.
Like he had seen on Kakashi's face.
"And to answer your other question," Her honey like voice enchanted him, yet the dangerous undertone to her voice wasn't lost to him. This woman wasn't any normal woman. She has been through something much more gruesome that he couldn't even imagine. "I am known as Theo-" That name- Does that woman not know the implications she had arisen by using that name? As if not sensing his inner turmoil, she continued "-because it is better to be called that then getting my name butchered by some idiots who can't pronounce my name correctly." She grimaced at that, "and I have no ulterior motives, if that's what you are wondering. I just want Naruto's well being, is this that hard for you to accept?"
The Hokage leaned against his chair. Her words were honest, but how much could he trust this stranger? "Do you even know what implications are you leading by using that name?"
Her eyes darkened and he could definitely see flashes of pain passing through her eyes, with something that was way too dark and twisted for him to understand. "I know." She growled out. "I noticed that name on the memorial stone when I had gone to pay my respects. At first I couldn't believe it, -because damnit it wasn't just possible!- but then it made perfect sense. And I am not abusing the name and the fame that comes from using it. I was given that name by my father, it is my legacy. I have full rights to use my name in any way possible. My father loved me enough to bestow me with his name." But he didn't love her enough to stay till she at least was born.
His eyes widened slightly and he asked "So you are-"
"Yes," She cut him off, and nodded.
"I see." He relaxed his tensed shoulders. If it was what he thinks it is, then he has no reason to be wary of her, what so ever. "What is your true name then?"
She grimaced and said "Theodora Elizabeth Riddle, but call me that and I will make sure you won't see the rising sun." She threatened jokingly, making Hiruzen's lip twitch upwards.
"Why is it that there are no records of you in our database? Neither about your background and not even your date of arrival has been mentioned." He asked in confusion.
She had the decency to look sheepish as she scratched the back of her head –he noted that this habit was quite Naruto like- and said "Ah, that'd be because I didn't exactly arrive in Konoha legally."
Now that had his attention. "What do you mean?"
"Er, it's quite a long story." Trixie said, and averted her eyes.
"Don't worry, I have all the time in this world." He didn't understand why she chuckled in amusement at his statement.
But he was curious and wanted to know her story. Well, anything would do for him to stall the blasted paperwork that seems to have no end.
"You mean to say, that you are from another place which was going through a gruesome war, and you were hit by a Forbidden Jutsu that was meant for your younger brother from a relative of yours, which almost killed you and de-aged you into that five year old who had terrorised my Ninjas some months ago, and then you met Naruto by coincidence and it was then the Jutsu's side effects wore off and you were changed back to your original age, and since then you decided to live with Naruto because he reminds you so much of your own brother?" He surmised it all in just a few sentences, as he leaned back to his chair and gave her a bewildered look.
She bit her lip and said "That's basically the gist of it."
He sighed, feeling much more older in just a span of few seconds, and rubbed his temple. "I see. I don't doubt that you are telling the truth, but it won't hurt to confirm it. I must call Inoichi to make sure what you told me is true or not."
She tensed at Inoichi's name, which didn't go unnoticed by him. "Please, can't we just skip this part?"
"Why?" He asked in amusement. "Are you afraid of Inoichi?"
"I don't like people who can basically get into your mind without permission. I hate Mind Raping bastards like that." She said bitterly, remembering how Voldemort used to terrorise people with his Legillimancy. To be truthful, even Trixie was afraid of his Legillimancy. Someone who could access Harry's mind with ease and fuck it up like hell needs to be quite skilled. When the Third Hokage gave her an amused glance, she huffed and said "What? It's not my fault that someone tried to mind fuck with me and opened the repressed memory of my Mom dying in front of my own eyes."
The Hokage's eyes softened and he said "He didn't do it on purpose, and you know it."
Her eyes flashed dangerously and she grumbled bitterly "Doesn't mean I have to like it though."
Trixie didn't like people mind raping her, especially by the person who had messed up her repressed memories- who also happened to be the head of the Yamanaka Clan and the previous Head Of T&I who was looking for a suitable person to replace him- hence, needless to say, she was pissed off at her current predicament where the Hokage had requested her to get a mental Evaluation done by the same person who had hurt her earlier. It's not her fault that she doesn't like the guy, or getting mind-fucked. Honestly, who'd want someone to get into your head and see every single one of your memories, and thoughts?
Meh, the Hokage was so stupid to believe that she'd follow orders so easily. When has she ever followed rules anyways?
Needless to say, the workers of Torture and Interrogation Department were bawling their eyes out and cursing the heavens by the end of the day, and many Ninjas working there were even thinking of resigning from T&I.
Inoichi and Ibiki glared at the pouting Trixie, who had been tied to a chair so as she could not escape from the Interrogation room for about a millionth time. The Ninjas had gone berserk while looking for the women each time she disappeared with a CRACK! Sound. There was really no doubt in both the men's mind that this woman is no other than that devil child who had disappeared six months ago. The woman had explained her circumstances, that she had been hit with a forbidden Jutsu that had transported her here and turned her into a child, and as soon as the Jutsu's side effects wore off, she turned back to normal. However, there were still many questions about her, the truthful answers of which lie in her memories.
Inoichi sighed in exasperation as Trixie pouted cutely, and Ibiki glared at her. "I don't like being restrained." Trixie said as she gave an innocent look to the two men.
"Guess who's fault is that?" Ibiki said sarcastically as he leaked out some killing Intent, but the woman just huffed childishly and looked away.
Inoichi sighed for the millionth time that day and said to Trixie "Alright, I want you to relax as I delve into your mind. I am not going to force you to show us your memories as per the Hokage's orders, so it'd be better if you show us your memories which would help us evaluate your identity, skills, and help us understand the circumstances that led you here. Whatever you show me will be projected outside in this room, which means that it will also be seen by Ibiki and Lord Hokage. Please note that I can tell real memories from fake ones, so if you try to show us false memories, then the consequences will be grave. Do you agree with these terms?"
Trixie huffed and said with a scowl "Fine, but you will have to treat me to Dango to my heart's fill after this shit."
Inoichi beamed at her "Deal!"
Trixie then took a deep breath and relaxed her tensed shoulders and said "Alright, I'm ready."
Inoichi nodded and did some hand signs and yelled "Mind Projection Jutsu!"
And then, Trixie's eyes rolled back to her head.
"Elizabeth, are you in there?" An elderly woman glanced into a small nursery, where about five toddlers lay in their cribs and slept peacefully, while a little eleven year old girl held a sixth baby in her arms and hummed it to sleep. The girl looked up to the woman and nodded as she gently placed down the baby in its crib and walked out of the nursery.
"What is it, Miss Wilcox?" The orphan girl asked, a little puzzled.
The elder woman smiled and said "There's someone to see you."
The little girl's eyebrows raised up "Me?"
The woman nodded.
The girl ran a hand through her short brown hair as she sat in front of a strict looking woman with a pointed nose. Her greying hair was pulled up in a bun, and she wore black robed that were out of fashion.
"Woman, are you out of your mind?!" the brown haired girl screeched, making the other woman scrunch her nose in distaste. "You mean to say, I am a witch? You're joking right?!"
"I assure you Miss Riddle, that I am not joking around with you." The woman answered calmly.
The girl narrowed her eyes and stared at the other woman for quite sometime, while the woman just sat calmly and waited for her to stop freaking out.
"Aright," The girl said with a sigh, and slumped down in her chair "So what now? Are you going to drag me to the Church and burn me alive, or hang me for 'my sins'?" the girl air quoted the last two words to emphasize her point.
The woman frowned. "And why would we do that?"
The girl shrugged and said "Because that is what was written in the History Books. Isn't that what happened during Salem Witch Trials in 1692?"
The woman gave her an impressed look "I'm sure you're going to fit in nicely in Ravenclaw."
The girl gave her a confused look "What?"
The woman's lips twitched upwards slightly as she said "Miss Riddle, My name is Professor Minerva Mcgonagall, and I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Next, Theodora Riddle." Mcgonagall's voice rang throughout the Great hall of Hogwarts, and everyone waited for the girl to walk up to the platform, but strangely, no one came forward. Murmers rang around the room, and everyone looked around for the girl who tried to defy Mcgonagall's order.
Mcgonagall's eyes pierced through a brown haired girl as she snickered along with a pair of redheads. "If you have forgotten Miss Theodora, then I must remind you that you have to come forward and sit on the stool to get sorted."
The girl tilted her head and answered innocently "But we don't know anyone by that name, Professor."
The woman asked, annoyed "Are you coming or not? Do you want to get expelled on your first day, Miss Riddle?"
"I would've liked if you had called me Trixie, but Miss Riddle is just fine, Professor." The girl said smugly as she walked forward and sat up on the stool, and an old and battered hat was placed on her head.
"Hm, tricky. Very tricky." The old hat whispered to Trixie, making her jump slightly. "I see potential, there is so much potential in you. Smart, very smart like your Mother, you can be in Ravenclaw, but I can see that you're Loyal to your loved ones, a remarkable quality of a Hufflepuff. Also Clever and ambitious, just like your Grandfather, No wonder you well off in Slytherin, but I see darkness in you as well, Miss Riddle. It's decided then, let you be-" the hat paused, as if it found a remarkable treasure in a heap of trash, "-Wait, what is this? Something deep hidden in you- Bravery, Courage, and something else that is passed down on you. My girl, you have been passed down a great Legacy from your father."
Trixie froze up, and her heart skipped a beat. She whispered back. "My father? What about him? Do you know him?"
The hat ignored her and continued to rant "Never let him down. I'm sure I will definitely hear more about you in future. Better be GRYFFINDOR!"
Thunderous claps rang around the Great Hall, but Trixie ignored the cheers and begged the hat to tell her about her father. The orphan girl desperately wanted to know about her dead father. Who was he? What was he like? Where was he from? Was he a Wizard too? Or a muggle?
Before the hat was pulled off from her head, the hat whispered it's final words into her ear "Loyal as a Hufflepuff, Clever as a Ravenclaw, Brave as a Gryffindor, Sneaky as a Slytherin. Beware, Theodora Elizabeth Riddle, dark times are ahead, and you are in the midst of everything."
A beautiful woman with perfect blonde hair and onyx eyes stared at the first year students in her class, and gave them all a cold stare. Her eyes scanned the children in her class, and rested on an eleven year old with brown hair and brown eyes, sitting with the Weasley twins. The corner of the woman's lips twitched a bit as she realised that the little girl was staring at her in awe. The woman shook her head and said in her voice that sounded like chiming of bells. "Hello everyone, My name is Christine Dracula, and I am your DADA teacher."
Trixie shot up her hand upwards, making the teacher smile. "Yes, Miss Riddle?"
The girl hesitated a bit, and then she asked "Er Professor, Are you a…?"
The woman chuckled, dazzling everyone in the room. "Yes, you are assuming correctly. I am a Vampire." She said and smiled, showing her two pointed fangs."
"Harry Potter!"
A Thirteen Year Old Trixie froze up as soon as she heard that name. She whipped her head towards the boy as he took a deep breath and walked forward on the platform and sat on the stool. He had black, messy hair, and wore round spectacles. He had an oval face, and his skin was pale –just like his father. His eyes were an emerald green, like his mother Lily's, and there was a lightening bolt scar over his forehead. There was no doubt about it. This was Harry Potter, her adopted brother.
The sorting hat was placed on his head, and she waited with anticipation for the hat to speak up. For a very long time the hat kept quiet, as if it was reading Harry's mind and whispering conspiringly in his head, and then suddenly, it cried-
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Trixie had never cheered so loudly in her life as she did at that moment.
"Hermione! Where's Harry?" Trixie asked frantically as she saw an eleven year old bushy haired girl helping up an unconscious red haired boy. "And what happened to Ron?" She asked as an afterthought.
"Snape is trying to steal the Sorcerer's stone! Harry has gone to stop him!" Hermione exclaimed.
"That's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard!" Trixie said, shocked as she ran a hand through her blue hair. "I know you guys hate Snape because he isn't exactly a very supporting teacher, but you're going too far, what with such accusation and all. And even if Snape do steal the stone, what would he do with it? What would he get for stealing the stone?"
"He wants to revive You-know-who back!" Hermione said urgently.
Trixie looked at Hermione with her jaw hitting the floor. "Excuse me?!"
Hermione sighed exasperatedly and said "Look, I know you're very confused about everything, but I promise I will tell you everything later. I am taking Ron to Infirmary, and then I will notify Dumbledore. I need you to go help Harry to stop Snape."
"Er," Trixie blinked out of her stupor and nodded, "Okay. I better go and help him out then."
"Well, I was half expecting Snape to be here." Trixie asked as she looked around, and saw no one, except there were ashes and some purple robed that belonged to Professor Quirrel that were lying down on the ground, next to harry, who was unconscious.
"HARRY!" She shrieked as she ran towards him, and checked his pulse. She sighed in relief as she realised that he was still alive. She was about to help him up, but stopped when something red caught her eye. She glanced down and saw a red stone lying next to Harry.
"the Sorcerer's stone." She said in awe as she picked up the stone and looked at it The stone gleamed in the dark room, and she soon placed it in the pocket.
"Let's get you to the infirmary, Harry." Trixie muttered as she ran a hand through her blue hair and helped Harry up.
"So, I heard someone was riding on a flying car yesterday." A fourteen year old Trixie smirked as she flipped her blue hair and sat next to Harry in the Great hall.
Harry groaned and muttered "Shut up, Trixie."
Trixie's laughter rang around the Great Hall.
Harry and Draco duelled on the high platform, while everyone watched them duel with wide eyes.
"Serpensemptia!" Draco chanted, and a snake appeared from his wand.
"Oh Shit." Trixie cursed as she, along with everyone stepped backwards, as the snake hissed and crawled around on the platform.
"Don't move, Potter." Snape said in his monotone voice as he walked forward towards the snake. "I'll get rid of it for ya."
"Allow me, Professor Snape." Lockhart said, with his beaming smile, and many girls swooned at that.
"Who told you to butt in?" Trixie muttered, annoyed. George and Fred, who were standing beside her, heard her muttering, and snickered.
Lockhart chanted some mumbo-jumbo, because of which the snake got thrown off into the air, and crashed back into the ground. The snake got pissed off for getting thrown off for no reason. Everyone stepped backwards as the snake looked around to hurt someone.
KILL!KILL!KILL!The snake chanted.
Harry took some steps forward cautiously towards the snake.
'Don't hurt anyone.'Harry hissed.
However the snake ignored him and turned to a boy of Ravenclaw by the name of Justin, who was standing near Trixie. The snake hissed, and Justin paled.
'I will kill him!'the snake hissed.
'Don't you dare!'Trixie hissed as she walked forward and stood defiantly in front of Justin, facind the snake.
'I said, do not hurt him.'Harry repeated.
'Why should I listen to you two?'the snake hissed and was ready to attack Trixie, who now stood before him.
'Calm down. We did not meant to anger you. Do not hurt anyone here.' Harry and Trixie hissed in unison. The snake turned towards Harry, and then to Trixe, and then back to Harry. The snake closed it's fangs and nodded.
Snake chanted some spells and shot them towards the snake, who was burnt alive.
Trixie and Harry looked away from the snake who was burning alive.
"What are you two playing at?" Justin snapped as he glared at Trixie and Harry.
Trixie and Harry shared confused glances and looked around, and found that everyone was glaring at them.
Trixie shook her head and stormed out of the hall, after a minute the Weasley twins followed her. "What the fuck is his problem? We saved his life and we didn't even get a Thank you for it! If we hadn't told the snake to not attack, he wouldn't even be alive right now! "
"So that's what you said to the snake!" George said as realisation dawned on me.
"Of course I did!" Trixie scoffed as she turned to the two troublemakers. "Weren't you listening?"
George and Fred exchanged a look. "Er, All we heard was hissing." Fred said, "Since you were speaking in Parseltongue."
Trixie blinked n understanding as she remembered something she had read in a book "The language of snakes. It is said that Salazar Slytherin was a Parseltongue."
"Yeah…." George and Fred shrugged.
She rubbed her temple and said "Now I understand why everyone reacted that way."
"Albus Dumbledore is the Greatest Sorcerer in the world!" Harry argued with him as he looked at Tom Marvolo Riddle standing in the Chamber of Secrets, where Ginny laid unconscious on the cold floor, dying, with Tom riddle's diary lying near her.
"Dumbledore has been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me." Tom argued back.
"He will never be gone. Not as long as those who remain loyal to him." Harry retorted.
Harry and Tom turned wen they heard a Phoenix's screech and a girl's shouts nearing them. Harry's eyes widened when he saw Dumbledore's pet Phoenix Fawkes, flying towards him, clutching Trixie's hand in his one claw and the sorting hat in the other.
"Let me go you stupid, ugly bird!" Trixie shrieked as she tried to release herself from the bird's grip. She was wearing her white nightgown, and her hair was a mess. "Damn you birdie, this is not the time to pay me back for dying your hair pink –not that you didn't look cute in pink! Ugh, let go of me!"
The phoenix released the girl in front of Harry and Tom, making her fall head first into the damp floor. As she tried to sit up, the Phoenix dropped the sorting hat over her head, making Trixie cry out in pain. Harry face palmed at her antics.
Trixie glanced up sheepishly as she saw Harry and another boy who looked just like her, well except his hair which was dark brown unlike her brown hair that gleams red in the sun, which was now dyed blue. "Er, hii?" She asked sheepishly as she stood up, and looked down, embarrassed.
Harry picked up the sorting hat which had fallen from the ground, and searched in it for something, but found nothing.
"So this is Dumbledore sends for his great defender." Tom said sarcastically "a songird, a good for nothing girl, and an old hat."
Trixie scowled, offended. "Hey! Who the heck are you to call me 'a good-for-nothing-girl'?" She snapped at the boy.
Before Harry could answer her, Tom walked towards the statue of Salazar Slytherin and chanted in parseltongue 'Open.' Salazar's stone mouth opened, and Tom turned towards the two siblings and said smugly "Let's match the power of Lord Voldemort , Heir of Salazar Slytherin against the famous Harry Potter and a good-for-nothing-girl."
Trixie's shoulders tensed when she heard some hissing, and she quickly grabbed Harry's hand and started running away. A Huge Basilisk crawled out from the stony opening of statue of Salazar Slytherin.
"Go harry!" Trixie said urgently as she pushed Harry towards a tunnel.
"What about you?" Harry asked.
"A sister's duty is to protect her brother from any harm." Trixie said as she ignored the fear clutching her heart, and ruffled Harry's hair. "-even if it from my half-crazed grandfather."
Harry's jaw dropped. "You mean-"
"Yeah, Voldemort is my Grandpa." She said sarcastically. "Now go!" She shooed him away. "I'll stall him for you." She said as she pushed him away.
Harry glanced at her, and he felt guilty for accusing her all this time, when she was going through the same thing as him. He wanted to help her, but he knew he would only be in her way. So, with a heavy heart, he nodded and ran away.
Trixie craned her neck from side to side and cracked her knuckles as she heard Tom ordering the basilisk to ill them. "Alright," She said as she took a deep breath. "You and me, let's have a fight, you filthy snake." She said as she closed her eyes turned around to face off the Basilisk to buy harry some time.
"You're the most stubborn girl I've ever seen." Harry sniffed as he wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked down at the blue haired girl who squirmed in pain, with foam coming out of her mouth. Blood seeped from her shoulder, where the basilisk bit it's fangs into her. Ginny sat next to Harry and sobbed as Trixie once again groaned in pain. Harry held Trixie's cold hand in his warm one and said "But still, I'd give anything in the world to have you back. Please don't go. I want you to stay with me. I want my sister to be with me. I don't want to be alone anymore."
Fawkes flew towards them, and sat nearHarry. Harry looked up at the phoenix and pleaded "Fawkes, please, can you heal her like you healed me a moment ago? Please?"
The Phoenix gave him an exasperated look, and then moved it's head forward. The Phoenix let it's tears fall over Trixie's wounds, and soon it began to heal. Harry and Ginny watched with bated breath as Trixie's squirming died down and her breathing relaxed. She opened her eyes and blinked them and groaned-
"Why do I feel like I have been run over by Fluffy a million times?"
"Hiya!" Trixie said cheerily as she walked into the empty classroom and smiled warmly at Remus who chuckled at her.
"Trixie?" harry asked I confusion. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to meet my Godfather, of course." She said in a joking tone.
"Remus is your Godfather?" harry asked, shocked.
Trixie blinked in confusion. "You didn't know?"
Harry shook his head. Trixie shrugged and said "Anyways Remus, you wanted to teach me something."
"Yes." Remus said as he walked down from his adjoining office and into the empty classroom. "I am going to teach you two the Patronus Charm."
Trixie whistled. "Sweet." She said.
"Well, Guess what?" Trixie said as she grinned and slipped next to Hermione, who was reading a book.
"what?" A fourteen year old Hermione asked, as she ignored the hootings of the crowd in the great Hall, for students who were putting their names in the Goblet of Fire.
"My birthday comes on 21 December, it means it was yesterday." Trixie said cheerily.
"And?" Hermione asked, distracted as she read her book.
"and, it means that I turned seventeen yesterday." She said smugly.
Hermione's eyes widened as she snapped her head towards Trixie.
Trixie grinned and said "It also means, my dear Hermione that now I can take part in the Triwizard Tournament."
"B-But you're only in Sixth Year!" Hermione argued.
"So what?" Trixie gave her a smug look as she stood up and walked towards the Goblet of Fire. The entire Great Hall grew silent, as they watched Trixie passed the age line, and placed her name in the goblet of Fire. Everyone cheered as Trixie walked out of the room.
"And the Hogwarts Champion is-" Dumbledore gave a dramatic pause as he read the piece of paper that flew out of the Goblet. "Cedric Diggory!"
"Oh Bugger!" Trixie groaned as she slammed her head down on the table, whereas the Great Hall erupted into cheers.
"damn it!" Trixie groaned as she clutched her head, which was throbbing dangerously. Someone had knocked her out while she was returning from harry's room after she had wished him luck for his final task. She opened her eyes and found herself in a Grave Yard.
"What is it, Potter?"
"We need to get out of here, now."
She heard two familiar voices. She looked up and crawled out from the little hole she was lying in. She coughed as she brushed off mud from her clothes and skin, and blinked to adjust to the dim light. "Cedric? Harry?" She asked in a croaked voice.
"Trixie?"
Both of them said in unison s they rushed towards her and helped her up.
"What are you doing here?" Cedric asked, worriedly.
The cauldron suddenly lit on fire, and Harry screamed and clutched his scar as it pained him.
"Harry!" Trixie and Cedric shrieked as they helped him up. Trixie glanced up and saw Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew) walking towards them, with a bundle of cloth in his hands. She realised with horror that the bundle in his arms was a sickly pale Voldemort in child's form. Cedric stood up and held out his wand cautiously towards Wormtail, as Trixie helped Harry up.
"who are you? What do you want?" Cedric asked cautiously.
"Kill the spare." The raspy voice of baby-Voldemort rag around the Graveyard.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" A green light, and then two screams rang through the graveyard as the body of a Hufflepuff landed with a thud on the ground, dead.
"NO!"
"CEDRIC!"
"Dumbledore's Army, huh?" Trixie asked with a raised brow as she glanced down at the parchment in her hand that listed the names of students who had joined the little group for practicing DADA, led by Harry.
Harry, Hermione and Ron shared a look. Harry cleared his throat and said "Yeah, and I was wondering if you'd like to join us and may be help us learn new spells? 'Coz everyone knows that no one is better than you, since Remus tutors you and all. So, will you join?" He asked in anticipation.
Trixie smiked and said "I'd love to." She signed her name at the bottom and muttered "Anything to annoy that insufferable pink toad."
"Are you crazy?" Remus hissed in anger. "You're applying to be Moody's apprentice?"
"so what?" Trixie frowned. "I like the way he works."
"He is insane. He will infect you with his craziness!"Remus said, annoyed.
"stop being such a mother-hen, Remus." Trixie said with an eye roll. I'm a big girl now. I can take care of myself".
"I'm sorry." Trixie said as she hugged Harry. "I should've been there."
Harry shook his head as he looked up at Trixie, with unshed tears in his eyes. "I- Trixie, I couldn't do anything. H- He died because of me. If I had been more careful, and hadn't let Voldemort use me like that, Sirius would've been alive right now. It is all my fault."
"It isn't." Trixie said as she shook her head and kissed his forehead. "Sirius knew what he was doing. He was protecting you. If I had been in his place, I'd have done the same for you."
Harry placed his hands on her shoulder and said "Don't say anything like that. I don't ever want you to do anything like that for me."
Trixie gave him a soft smile and said "Sorry Harry, no can do. I am your sister. I have to protect you. It's basically in the job description."
The corners of his lips twitched upwards as he pulled out a golden locket from his pocket. He handed it to her, and she looked at the time turner in awe. "I found it in the department of Mysteries, I can't keep it since it reminds me of that wretched place where Sirius died. I want you to keep it, think of it as a token from me."
"Thank you, Harry." She said in a soft tone as she clasped the locket in her neck.
"Trixie, we wanted to ask you something." Remus said nervously, and glanced at the pink haired woman next to him, who gave him a somewhat encouraging smile, and patted down her bulging stomach.
"What is it?" she asked curiously.
"Would you do us the honour of being the Godmother of our baby?" Tonks asked softly and Remus smiled at her.
A lone tear slipped out of Trixie's eyes and a sob broke out from her lips. "I'd love to."
While Harry was distracted by the scream, Voldemort, still angry and in pain of losing his horcrux Nagini- the snake, he shot the killing curse at Harry. Everything appeared in slow motion as her eyes the green light made it's way towards him. Only one thing rang through her min like a mantra- "Not him." She had fought head on with the Basilisk in the chamber of Secrets in her fourth Year for Harry's safety, she wasn't about to break her record now of all the time.
She didn't know what happened next, but one second the green light was about a feet away from harry, the next second she stood between her brother and the killing curse. The curse hit the time turner dangling through her neck, and broke the hour glass. The golden sand escaped out of the time turner and pierced through her skin, agonising her with pain. She heard a blood curling scream ringing around her, too late she realised it came from her lips.
The golden sand itched into her skin glowed as she -literally- fell into an abyss of darkness. The last thing she heard before losing herself into darkness was the pained screams of her brother, harry, who was yelling her name.
"TRIXIE!"
"Thank you." The boy said with a foxy grin, making her almost squeal at the adorableness. He was cute, alright. He hesitated at first, but then he introduced himself. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!"
When she grinned back at him and didn't look at him with coldness and hatred when he told her his name, he was taken aback. She introduced herself as well. "Hii Naruto, I am Trixie."
He tilted his head in confusion. "Try-k-zee?"
She face palmed. Naruto had butchered her name in such a way she could never have imagined. "No, no. It's Trix-ie." She pronounced to him.
"Tree-kzi?" He tried again, and failed miserably.
She sweat dropped. It was official, she needed a new name to be called. If he can't speak her Marauder name properly, then it means he wouldn't be able to speak her full name with much effort. So, she decided that a new name is what she needed now. "Forget it, Just call me Theo." She said.
"Theo?" He said it clearly, and she jumped in joy. Finally! He had actually spoken it without butchering it!
"Yup." She said. She was startled when she heard shouts of the two Chunnins who were calling her name. "Oops, Gotta go! It was nice to meet you, Naruto! I hope we meet again."
"Pathetic!" She sneered. "Pick up someone of your size, bastards. If you come near him," Her lips morphed in a sadistic smirk, and her eyes flashed red –resembling Voldemort's red eyes- and her voice dropped some octaves, sounding absolutely lethal, "or I will kill you."
The two civilian were taken aback by the dangerous tone of her voice, and they stepped back in fear when her eyes flashed red, reminding them of kyuubi's demonic red eyes.
"D-Demon! The Fox demon has corrupted you!" The first drunkard civilian gasped.
"Kill her and the boy both!" The second one said, and both of them held up their broken bottles to attack Trixie.
As they took another step towards Trixie, she whipped out her wand and pointed at them, and chanted "Incendio!" A jet of fire shot out of her wand, making the two civilians back off, and stumble down.
"What is this sorcery?!" One of the drunkard's yelled.
"The Demon is controlling her!" The other one wailed.
They got up and were about to run away, but Trixie wasn't going to let them go away. These people should know what happens when they attack her loved ones. She sneered. "Where do you think you're going? I'm not done yet!" She flickered her wand and chanted "Impendimenta!"
Both the civilians were knocked down with an unknown force, and soon were unconscious. Trixie then spelled in a low whisper "Incarcerous!" and soon both the civilians were tied up with ropes blasting out from her wand.
"Y-You're a Hero, Naruto." She said with a sob as she released him. She wiped her eyes and smiled brightly at him. "Never let anyone tell you something else."
He tilted his head in confusion as she grasped his big and rough hands in her small and soft ones and said "You don't have to be alone anymore, Naruto. I am with you now. Now you have me and I promise I will never abandon you. I will be your family."
Trixie yawned when she opened her eyes. She looked around and found herself in a spare room. She stretched her arms and rubbed her eyes. "Where am I?' She asked groggily.
"Still in the T&I department." Trixie jumped as she glanced at the third Hokage who sat on a Couch near her bed.
"What are you still doing here?" she asked with a furrowed brow. "Did something go wrong during my mental evaluation?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said "No, no, everything is fine. We got to know quite a bit, thanks to your memories. We got the necessary data we needed to forge a new identity for you and complete your files, though your files have been classified as an S-ranked secret. Some things we saw in your memories should not fall into anyone's hands or chaos with ensue."
Trixie drawled out "Right, like about horcruxes, and existence of many other dangerous species of Magical Creatures?"
"Among other things." The Hokage said, uneasily.
"Alright," Trixie sighed. "So now what? Am I allowed to go home now, or is something else you want to tell me?"
"Well, after watching your memories, I know that you have more than enough fighting skills. Your skills could be helpful for us. So, I was wondering if you'd like to remain a civilian or be a Ninja? In my opinion thugh, I'd advise you to be a Ninja." The Hokage asked with a raised brow.
Trixie pondered over it. Sure, she liked the life of a civilian, she had more than enough time in her hands, and she always had time to relax nowadays. She has much more free time these days, which is always spent on worrying about Naruto, and somewhat Harry and Teddy. There is only much you can do in a crappy Apartment. If she becomes a Ninja, she'd have a constant income, which would do wonders for Naruto since his own monthly allowance is very meagre. Also, she'd have something to do, other than being bored to death. Also, she'd get to learn some cool, new tricks related to that 'chakra' thing. And, the most important point, she'd get to kick ass.
"Count me in." Trixie said with a sadistic smile, making the Hokage shiver in cold sweat and scoot away from her slightly. "I will be a Ninja."
"good," the Hokage said as he cleared his throat. "Let's evaluate your fighting skills."
She gaped at him in surprise. "Now?"
The Hokage smirked "Of course."
She pouted "You sneaky old bastard."
The Hokage's amused chuckles rang around the room.
Trixie stood in Training Grounds Five, which was a wide clearing, with Ibiki, Inoichi, Lord Hokage and three other ninjas. Among the three new Ninjas was a familiar man in Green jumpsuit- Might Guy, then there was a woman with black, waist length hair and red eyes, wearing a short dress, and there was other man with dark hair, dark eyes and tanned skin, and had a beard. He wore typical Jonin uniform and was smoking a cigarette. He looked a lot like third Hokage.
Lord Hokage cleared his throat and instructed "Theo, these three will evaluate your performance. This is Asuma Sarutobi," The dark haired man held up a hand lazily in acknowledgement, "Kurenai Yuuhi," the pretty red eyed girl gave her a smile, which she returned, "and Might Guy." She sweat dropped as the man in green jumpsuit gave her a thumbs up and a beaming smile, with some exclaimations of youth and asked her for a date after the evaluation was over. "These three will test you in Ninjutsu, genjutsu and Taijutsu respectively. After your evaluation, they will decide what rank you should be given according to your skills." The Hokage then turned to her and said "Do you want to say anthing to them before the Evaluation starts?"
Trixie smirked at them. "Hiya, My name is Theo Uzumaki and I'm gonna pulverize you." She said with a sadistic gleam in her eyes and cracked her knuckles. "let the fun begin."
