Adelinde, of Ice and Lightning Chapter 10, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter Nine

Adelinde had never gotten ready as quickly as she did that morning. After slipping her boots on, she kissed Luna's cheek before leaving her room. She entered the kitchen, her gaze going straight to Hermione, a determined glint in her eyes. She had three other mates and she be damned if she didn't try to find out who they were as soon as possible. Approaching the brunette, she cupped the other girl's face in her hands and pulled her into a heated kiss. Just like with Luna, her magic hummed and swirled around her, a strand wrapping around the teen and glowing golden. Pulling away, she smiled at the astonished and confused Gryffindor.

"What the hell, Lin?!" Pansy yelled, shooting to her feet.

Adelinde ignored her and released Hermione, turning her attention to Ginny, who was closest. Grabbing her, she connected their lips softly. To her slight disappointment, nothing happened. Pulling away, she met Ginny's stunned gaze and smiled a tad sadly at her.

"Okay, what the bloody hell is going on?" Daphne demanded, narrowing her eyes on her best friend.

Adelinde blinked and turned to her, flushing a bit. Maybe I should have explained first... "Sorry. Um, apparently I have four mates. Two are Hermione and Luna." she stated, wincing and smiling a bit sheepishly.

Jaws dropped and eyes widened.

"Oh gods. Seriously?" Draco breathed in astonishment.

Adelinde nodded. "When I kissed Hermione, you all saw a strand of my magic wrap around her, right?"

Nods.

"Well, that was my magic recognizing her as one of my mates. Same thing happened when I kissed Luna." Adelinde explained.

Ginny gained a sad expression on her face. "So, I'm not one of your mates?" the redhead asked the blonde.

"'Fraid not, Gin." the Fae replied, pulling the girl into a hug before saying reassuringly, "But don't worry. You'll find someone to love."

Ginny nodded and drew away. "So, are you going to kiss Pan, Daph, and Tracey now?"

Adelinde chuckled. "Not Daph. I know for a fact she isn't my mate due to that one experiment."

Daphne's face immediately flushed red at the memory.

Blaise caught the blush and smirked. "Oh, this is interesting. And just what was this experiment? Hmm, Daph?"

Daphne glared at him, huffing. "All we did was make out and while Adelinde is a damned good kisser, I am straight." she told him.

"Yes, yes. All very interesting. Can we move on with the kissing now? I want to know if I'm one of Adeli-"

Adelinde cut Pansy off by pulling her into her arms and slamming their lips together. The Slytherin automatically melted into the blonde's arms and returned the kiss as the Fae's magic wrapped around and recognized her. Drawing away after a moment, Adelinde chuckled lightly at the blissed out look on the teen's face. Flushing, Pansy snapped out of her daze and coughed, moving to the side so the blonde could go to Tracey. Adelinde gave her a quick peck on the forehead before approaching the violet eyed girl, who shifted nervously. Smiling softly at the girl, the fae drew her into a soft kiss. Like with Ginny, nothing happened. Tracey was the one to pull away, a look of disappointment on her face.

"A shame." she muttered. "I rather like you."

Before Adelinde could reply, Luna skipped into the room, taking a seat beside a smug Pansy. "Classes start soon, my serpent, so you'd better eat." the Ravenclaw said, accepting the plate of French Toast from Harry with a smile. "Thank you, Harry."

"You're welcome, Luna."

Adelinde lifted Pansy up off her seat and sat down, putting the teen in her arms on her lap, grinning at Harry when he handed her, her own plate of food. "Thanks, Ry."

"Welcome, Lin." He returned the smile, taking a seat between Blaise and Draco.

Luna and Adelinde quickly ate their food, finishing in record time while the others watched with amusement. Once done, Adelinde glanced at the others.

"So, who's going where?" she asked.

"Hermione and I have Transfiguration with Draco, Blaise, Daphne, Pansy, Tracey,and Theo." Harry stated, standing.

"I have Defense." Ginny said.

"Potions." Luna spoke up.

Adelinde nodded and stood after gently lifting Pansy of her lap. "Alright. I'll walk you to class, Lulu, since we're going to the same place. I'll see the rest of you later, though, right?"

They all nodded.

"Awesome." she grinned, grabbing Luna's hand and giving Pansy and Hermione a quick kiss on the lips each before leaving, the others following her out before heading to their classes.

Luna and Adelinde made it to the potions lab just as the class started, making everyone turn to them. Adelinde cheerfully waved to them while Luna took her seat. Severus arched an eyebrow at his daughter.

"You're late."

"By a minute, dad." she grinned at him, approaching him. "Anyway, I have to talk to you, later. It's kinda important."

He nodded, a curious glint in his eyes. "Before lunch, then?"

"Um, maybe we should wait until tonight. It's really big news and a lot to take in."

He turned to her fully, eyeing her suspiciously. "What did you do?"

Her eyes widened and she shook her head. "It's not bad or anything! Promise."

He eyed her for another moment before nodding. "Alright. We'll talk tonight, then."

Adelinde smiled at him, though she couldn't help but feel nervous and apprehensive. How the hell does a girl tell her father that she has four mates?

Entering the Room of Requirement, Adelinde looked around the room full of instruments, which is what she asked for. She had a free period and was in the mood to play music and sing. Spotting a guitar near the back, she approached and grabbed it, grinning when she saw it was in good condition. Summoning a chair, she sat on it and strummed a few of the strings, making sure it was in tune. Getting comfortable, she thought of a song to play. She grinned when it hit her. It was one of her favorites; Angel by the band Theory of a Deadman.

"I'm in love with an angel

heaven forbid

made me a believer

with the touch of her skin

I'd go to hell and back with you

stay lost in what we found

worlds apart we were the same

until we hit the ground

maybe I'm crazy

maybe I'm weak

maybe I'm blinded by what I see

you wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

cause I could never set you free

so fly on your own

it's time I let you go

I'm in love with an angel

who's afraid of the light

her halo is broken

but there's fight in her eyes

walls are built to keep us safe

until they're crashing down

worlds apart we were the same

until you hit the ground

maybe I'm crazy

maybe I'm weak

maybe I'm blinded by what I see

you wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

cause I could never set you free

so fly on your own

it's time I let you go

walls are built to keep us same

until they're crashing down

worlds apart we were the same

until you hit the ground

maybe I'm crazy

maybe I'm weak

maybe I'm blinded by what I see

you wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

cause I could never set you free

so fly on your own

it's time I let you go

so fly own your own

it's time I let you go

go"

"That was beautiful."

Adelinde's head shot up and she blinked at the familiar red head in the doorway, who blushed. "Thanks."

Susan shifted, stepping further into the room. "Sorry for intruding like that, but I heard the music and your voice and couldn't help myself."

"It's fine," Adelinde gave her a reassuring smile. "I don't mind, at all. It's nice to see you again, actually. Want another dance?" she winked at the teen, who's face darkened again.

"U-um, I'm go-good, at the moment, but maybe some other time?" Susan asked hesitantly.

"Sounds good." Adelinde patted the chair that appeared next to her. "Come sit and I'll sing another song for ya."

Susan immediately sat down, facing her eagerly with bright eyes.

Adelinde tapped her chin in thought. "Hmm, which song, which song..." She grinned when it came to her. It was one of her favorites. "It's another one of my favorite songs." she told Susan, who nodded.

Shifting a bit, she began to play Awake and Alive by Skillet.

"I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms

It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up

In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up"

Adelinde turned to Susan, who was grinning widely. "What did you think?"

"You have a really beautiful voice."

"Aw, you're so sweet." the Fae beamed at her, putting the guitar down so it rested against her chair. "So, Susa-"

"Lin!"

Adelinde blinked, grunting when she suddenly had a lapful of one Pansy Parkinson. "Hey, Pan." she wheezed a bit, seeing the others enter the room as well.

Pansy smiled brightly at her before leaning forward and drawing her into a heated kiss. "We've been looking everywhere for you."

"You have?"

"Not really. Hermione suspected that if you weren't in your room then you were here." Daphne spoke up as she and the rest of their group entered the room. "Bones." she nodded in greeting the red-haired female beside Adelinde.

"Greengrass." Susan returned hesitantly.

Luna skipped over to Adelinde and sat on the armrest of the chair, leaning against the blonde. "Hello, my serpent."

Adelinde smiled at her. "Hello, my moon. See any wrackspurts or nargles?" she asked curiously.

Luna smiled dreamily at her, but didn't answer.

Adelinde chuckled softly and leaned up to kiss the other blonde's cheek. When she noticed Hermione eyeing them and shifting a bit, looking like she wanted to join them, Adelinde patted the armrest Luna wasn't on. "C'mon, Mione. Don't be shy."

Hermione blushed before walking over to her, sitting down on the armrest. Her blush darkened when Adelinde's arm wrapped around her waist.

Draco did a quick tempest before turning to the others. "Dinner is soon. We should head to the Great Hall." he stated.

"Oh. Well, lets go." Adelinde said, tapping Pansy thigh and motioning for her to get up. She turned to Susan. "Do you want to walk with us?" she asked.

Susan glanced at her shyly. "You wouldn't mind?"

"Not at all."

"Then I'd love too."

The group left the Room of Requirement and headed down to the Great Hall, making small talk as they did so. Adelinde smiled when she noticed that Tracey and Susan seemed to be chatting about quietly together about something, Ginny sometimes adding a comment or two. Her smile turned into a smirk when she noticed that Daphne and Theo were holding hands and that Draco, Blaise, and Harry were walking close to each other, Harry in the middle. Those three had some serious sexual tension going on. Adelinde had always thought that Draco was gay for Harry in the books and she'll admit that she had wanted them to get together, and if not them, than Harry and Tom.

"Hey, Lin."

Adelinde shook her head to clear her thoughts and turned to Pansy. "Yeah, Pan?"

"Have you told your father?"

"Not yet. I'm going to after dinner, though, so can you guys come over?"

Hermione smiled at her. "We'd love too."
