Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Ghoul or Harry Potter.

Okay, I just wanted to say that Thursday is coming up fast. This will be the last update until next week unless major inspiration hits. Now, if you don't like this story, don't read. Any insulting reviews or flames will be ignored.

Aria looked over the map she stole from the twins a few days after break ended. It was an ingenious piece of work that showed not only the school, but where everyone in the building was. Aria had tested it out with Luna's help and could only grin at how useful it was for spying purposes. It was also useful for avoiding the more annoying of those stalking her. When told about the map, Uta had suggested that they learn how it was made and make their own.

With that in mind, Aria and Luna had been working on taking the map apart without damaging it's components. At the current moment, Aria was watching Dumbledore's office. The reason being is that she had over heard Hermione and Ronald talking about the headmaster requesting to meet them in his office. Luckily for Aria, she had discovered a secret passageway that led into a room just off the headmaster's office. The room was apparently sealed off from the headmaster's office, but still allowed sound to pass into it. Aria would be eavesdropping on their little meeting as something had been bugging her since she'd heard the worst of her stalkers talking about it.

Noticing the two moving from the Gryffindor tower, Aria began to make her way to the passageway that would take her to that secret room. When she reached it, Aria carefully made her way inside and moved closer to the wall that the room shared with the headmaster's office. She carefully settled down next to the sealed door and looked down at the map in her hand. With a soft whisper, her wand lit up dimly and she nodded upon seeing that the stalker duo were nearly in the office. Dumbledore was pacing around the room and Aria could vaguely hear him mutter softly under his breath. He stopped muttering and moved towards his desk as the stalker duo reached the tower. Soon enough, Aria heard the door opening and Dumbledore calling out, "Ronald, Hermione, I am so pleased you've made it. Come take a seat, do you either of you want a lemon drop?"

"No thank you, Professor," Hermione said while Ronald remained silent.

Dumbledore shuffled around before asking, "Now, have either of you managed to make contact with Aria?"

"No," Ronald spoke sounding slightly angry, "She's always managed to escape us and it's gotten to the point where neither of us see her outside of class,"

"I've seen in her in the library with Malfoy," Hermione chimed in, "I haven't been able to approach as Malfoy's goons have kept everyone away from the two,"

Ronald made a disgusted sound, "Sounds like the ferrets trying to get alone time with Potter."

Dumbledore sighed lightly, "It would seem that Mr. Malfoy is attempting to court Aria."

"What?!" Ronald shouted as Aria frowned, "I'm the one that's supposed to be courting Potter!"

Aria gagged at the thought and shook her head while mentally shaking her head. Dumbledore didn't know shit as Draco was teaching her about the high society of the English Wizarding world while she assisted him with his homework. She would admit that it was somewhat odd that they were never bothered during those sessions, but pushed that thought away as Dumbledore replied, "Yet you have no been able to make contact with her. Unless you make contact with her, you cannot begin to court her."

"It's impossible to come into contact with her!" Ronald hissed as a slamming sound echoed through the air followed by Hermione gasping out his name in a scolding fashion, "Shut it, Granger! Headmaster, she has somehow managed to avoid us and those tracking charms you've given us haven't been working. How the bloody hell are we supposed to get into contact with her if we can't find her?"

Dumbledore was quiet for a few moments, "I will remedy the situation as soon as possible. Calm down, Ronald."

There was a huff followed by the creaking of a chair, Hermione spoke up, "Headmaster, is all this truly necessary? I know you said that it was, but Aria doesn't seem like a bad person. She just seems to like being alone."

"Hermione," Dumbledore's tone was filled with disappointment, "Aria Potter has the potential to become the next Dark Lady. If we do nothing, she will become the biggest threat to the wizarding world. To protect our people, we must do whatever possible to control Aria. If it comes down to it, we may even need to kill her, but I doubt it will so long as we go along with my plan,"

"I-it just doesn't seem right," Hermione meekly replied.

"Did you know that I found Aria in Tokyo, Japan?" Dumbledore asked earning surprised gasps, "As you know doubt know, Hermione, Tokyo is one of the few places in the world with high concentrations of ghouls. While I do not know if it's true, I believe that she may have been in contact with one and might be assisting them in finding people to kill,"

"B-but Ghoul's are just myths!" Ronald protested loudly with wide eyes.

Dumbledore made a soft tsking sound, "No, they are very much real, Ronald. I've come across a few and have seen the devastation they can cause."

"And Potter has been around them?" Ronald squeaked with fear making Aria roll her eyes.

"I do believe so," Dumbledore paused as a faint roar sounded followed by a grunt, "Ah, Sirius my boy, you made it just in time. These are the two I was speaking of,"

"Pleasure," Sirius Black grunted, "Professor, can we be quick? I have a...friend that I'm meeting in an hour and want to be ready,"

Dumbledore chuckled, "Of course, Hermione, Ronald, I want you to meet Lord Sirius Black. Sirius, this is Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. They've been working on getting close to Aria."

"I see," Sirius sounded a little annoyed, "Dumbledore,"

Dumbledore sighed, "Ronald, Hermione, I will do my best to see that you get what you need. For now, I ask that you leave and head back to your dorms. It is getting rather close to curfew."

"Yes, Professor," The two chorused.

As soon as the two had left, Dumbledore spoke, "Have you managed it?"

"No assassin will make any deals with me," Sirius growled out, "Every single one I've talked to will not take a hit out on Lovegood. Apparently, they fear the wrath of Aria and what she will do,"

"I see," Dumbledore sounded annoyed, "We will have to do something. Perhaps use a house elf to poison him?"

Muttering softly under his breath, Sirius replied, "Kreacher has reported that the Lovegood's have anti-house elf wards around their house."

Dumbledore cursed softly, "It would seem we will need to find more options. Have you spoken with the Goblins again?"

"Yes and they told me that Aria Potter will remain in Lovegood's hands until such a time as she either hits seventeen or becomes emancipated," Sirius sounded more than a little pissed off, "They have also told me that if I continue to ask, I will find my vaults being audited. They also warned me against attempting to hire assassins. For some reason, they adore Aria and through her, Xenophilius and his brat,"

Dumbledore spoke in a strained voice, "Sirius, please go. I will contact you when I've come up with something do to."

"Do it soon," Sirius said as the sound of a chair scraping against the ground echoed through the air, "If we don't do something soon, Lovegood will have full custody of my goddaughter,"

Sirius left via floo and Dumbledore began cursing as booms filled the air. Knowing that it would be best to leave, Aria took off quickly and headed back to Ravenclaw. She barely managed to get into the tower as curfew fell. The perfect that had been about to leave looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Cutting it a bit close, Potter?"

"Sorry," Aria offered him a sheepish smile, "I got caught up practicing for our next dueling class and barely noticed the time. I'll try to refrain from doing so again."

He nodded to her, "Go get your homework done or something, you have another hour before it's time for third years to go to bed."

"Noted," Aria made her way passed him and up to her dorm room where Luna was waiting, "Well, I need to owl your dad,"

Luna looked at her blankly before nodding with a serious look on her face, "I'll owl him too. He'll listen if we both do it. Aria, what will you do about Dumbledore?"

"I'll push back our research on the map while I start my research on ways to identify charms and cancel them," Aria settled on her bed after putting both the map and her bag down, "I was going to do it at some point, but it seems more important now,"

"Make sure you do the same for potions," Luna suggested as Aria took out her wand and began to put spells on her bed, "Make sure you add a protection against house elves, Dumbledore might use one to get your blood for a stronger tracking charm,"

"Do you have that spell? I meant to look it up a while ago, but never got the chance," Aria glanced at the blonde.

Luna told her the spell and Aria finished her spells with that. Once that was done, Aria got ready for bed before taking out her book on magical tattooing.

As the year passed on, Ronald and Hermione's efforts to get into contact with her increased dramatically. Aria still managed to avoid them, but found it was becoming harder and hard. Somehow, Dumbledore had improved his tracking charms without using her blood. It had Aria wondering if he'd stolen a piece of her hair or something which would explain it. While hair wasn't as strong as blood when it came to tracking someone, it was enough to make the spells more potent than usual. With that in mind, Aria hid away her brush and added the anti-house elf charm on her trunk as well as everything else she owned.

Aria noticed that Lupin was becoming more agitated as the year wore on until one day he randomly called her into his office. It was spring and nearly time for exams. Aria was more than a little angry at him seeing as she had quite a bit of studying to do for her ancient rune class. Lupin gestured to the seat across from him, "Sit down."

"I'd rather not, Professor," Aria replied while eyeing the man, "Is there a problem? I don't think I've been doing bad on my homework or classwork,"

"You've actually been doing perfectly fine," Lupin eyed her with slightly amber eyes, "My problem is that you don't smell right,"

"I don't smell right?" Aria offered him a look of confusion while inwardly panicking, "What do you mean?"

"You don't smell like you used to and you don't smell like either of your parents," Lupin replied with a small glare, "You do not smell like Aria Potter,"

Aria wanted to roll her eyes, "You do realize I was in a serious car accident a few months before school? I had to get a lot of organs replaced. My scent probably changed because of that, Mr. Werewolf," Lupin's eyes were wide, "Not to mention, I didn't grow up like either of my parents. Seeing as I was a baby back when you probably last saw me, my scent changed just like everyone else due to how I grew up," Aria took a deep breath before finishing with, "So why the hell does that mean I do not smell right? You do not know more nor have you actually tried."

"I-i wanted to bu-" Lupin began earning a snort from Aria.

"You're a werewolf and thus unable to properly raise a child?" Aria shook her head, "Did you know that my uncle abandoned me in Tokyo? In the fourth ward? I was nearly killed my first night in that hell hole by a starving ghoul," Lupin paled as Aria gave him a bored look, "If you had raised me, I wouldn't have been in that position. If you had raised me, I probably wouldn't have been in a major car accident, but you didn't. In the end, it comes down to the fact that you were too scared of yourself to take care of a child that needed you," Aria gave him a disgusted look, "The only reason I'm alive is due to luck and finding someone that actually cares about me. Unless you can tell me you did everything possible to take care of me, I will step out of this room. You will leave me alone and not have expectations of me that are completely off base due to your lack of commitment,"

"Aria, I-" Lupin began only to be silenced by a glare from Aria.

Aria had to swallow the urge to throttle the idiot, "If you think using your curse as an excuse, you're nothing but a sad little man that's too afraid to actually deal with your inner wolf. If you were as strong as my parents probably thought you were, you would beat your inner wolf into submission and ensure it knows your the boss," Turning away from him, "You are nothing to me, Lupin. I would advise you to leave me alone once the year is done. Unless you do as I suggested about your inner wolf, I never want to deal with you again."

With that, Aria opened the door and left the room without looking behind her. She didn't need to look at him to see the man beginning to cry as the scent of salt filled her nose.

It was the day after the exams ended that Aria received a missive from the Wizengamot. Aria glanced at Luna and the other curious faces of her fellow Ravenclaws. Humming lightly, Aria opened the letter and cleared her throat before reading it out:

Dear Heir Aria Potter,

We, of the Wizengamot, are pleased to announce that as of yesterdays meeting, you now have a proper guardian. Your guardian is Xenophilius Lovegood until the day you either turn seventeen or get emancipated. We offer you congratulations and hope that this news finds you well. We look forward to the day you take your seats and join us.

Dorian Cross,
Scribe of the Wizengamot

Luna spoke as silence seemed to fill the hall, "It looks like the Wizengamot finally got rid of their wakaspurt infestation."

Aria let out a soft laugh, "Yeah, I suppose that means I get to go Snorkak hunting with you again this summer."

"It'll be so much fun!" Luna squealed while reaching out to hug her.

Aria patted her head while turning her head to look at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was staring at the letter in his hands as if he wanted to burn it to ash. He seemed to feel her gaze and looked up. Instead of meeting his eyes, Aria closed hers and grinned at him. Luna tugged at her shirt and Aria turned her head back while opening her eyes. Looking at Luna, Aria asked, "What?"

"Does this mean your my big sister?" Luna asked her in a soft voice.

Aria blinked at Luna in surprise, "Big sister? You want me to be your big sister?"

Luna nodded with a faint blush on her cheeks, "I've always wanted one."

Clearing her throat, Aria tried to ignore the feelings that seemed to explode in her chest, "I-if you want, I suppose I can be."

Luna squealed and hugged Aria against. Aria looked down at Luna and smiled softly. Huh, Aria had a little sister now.

Aria and Luna found that their luck was unfortunate in the form of having to share a carriage with Aria's worst stalkers. Aria silently cast the bubble head charm and turned to look out of the window as Luna stared at the two. Hermione cleared her throat, "Aria, how do you think your exams went?"

Inwardly groaning, Aria replied, "I think I passed them all."

"They were really difficult, weren't they?" Ronald asked her.

Aria grimaced lightly, "Not really, I actually found most of them easy. The only one that really gave me any trouble was the Rune exam, but that was due to me mixing up two of the runes."

Hermione opened her mouth only for Luna to cut in, "Can you wait to get home, Aria? We're going to be leaving the day after tomorrow for Germany."

Aria hummed softly, "I'm just glad we won't be stuck in Scotland for the summer. It'll be nice to travel a bit."

"That reminds me," Hermione burst in making Aria glare at her though the brunette didn't seem to notice, "Do you have any countries you'd recommend traveling to? I've been to France, but I want to head out of Europe,"

Hermione elbowed Ronald and he turned to glare at her. Hermione jerked her head towards Aria and his eyes widen before he started nodding, "Y-yeah! I wanted to travel out of Europe too."

"I've never really gone out of Europe before," Aria looked at them with narrow eyes, "Why do you ask?"

"I've been asking everyone," Hermione smiled brightly at Aria, "I'm just trying to figure out which country I should ask my parents about traveling to,"

Aria inwardly rolled her eyes while saying, "I would suggest China. It's was rather nice during that one trip I took with my relatives when I was younger. It was before the car accident."

Luna began adding random countries while adding some that didn't exist as far as Aria knew. Aria leaned back against the seal while mentally cheering Luna on for keeping them busy. When they finally exited the carriages, Aria grabbed Luna and bolted for the train while feeling immensely glad for the featherweight charms on both their trunks. Setsuko was already heading to the Lovegood's home which meant her cage was shrunken and sitting in Luna's pocket. Ceres hissed lightly as they finally got to their usual compartment, "They are clumsier than Godric while drunk when it comes to being subtle."

"Neither of them are in Slytherin for a reason," Aria sighed deeply as she sank into her usual seat, "I can't wait to get home,"

"Agreed," Ceres slipped into the seat beside her, "It will be a relief to get out of that castle,"

As Aria took out her sketchbook, the door opened to reveal Draco, "Aria."

"Draco," Aria greeted the blonde, "What can I do for you?"

Draco was slightly flushed as he asked, "As the Quidditch world cup is this year, I was wondering if you wanted to go with my family and I. My father is going to be getting tickets soon."

Aria shook her head lightly, "I may like flying, but Quidditch isn't my kind of thing."

"Oh.." Draco looked down, "I see. It was stupid of me to ask,"

"You never really asked, so you couldn't of known," Aria smiled at Draco, "Besides, I don't think I'll be back in England in time to see it,"

"So your summer is filled already?" Draco asked earning a nod, "Maybe next year?"

"Maybe," Aria nodded to him, "I hope you have a nice summer, Draco,"

"I do too," Draco flushed lightly, "I mean that I hope you have a good summer too. I got to go-"

Draco cut himself off and took off with a slightly pink face. Aria stared after him before shaking her head and deciding that he probably had a fever or something. Aria also decided to ignore the laughter rolling out of Luna as Ceres hissed something unintelligible. Somehow, she had a feeling that it was better to ignore it than pay it any mind.

Once again, the train station was filled with both parents and reporters. Aria was surprised to see that Black wasn't there, but put it out of her mind as the same reporter as last time, Skeeter, walked up, "Heir Potter."

"Ms. Skeeter," Aria greeted the reporter while looking around for Xenophilius, "What can I do for you this fine day?"

"I was hoping you would answer a few questions and perhaps give a statement," Skeeter smiled at her, "If it wouldn't be too much of a bother,"

Aria nodded lightly, "I don't see why not. Luna," The blonde looked at her, "Perhaps you could go see what's taking you dad so long."

Luna nodded and took off into the crowd. Skeeter beamed at Aria, "What will you be doing this summer?"

"I will be going out of the country with the Lovegood family," Aria replied with a light smile as cameras flashed, "I won't say where, but I will say that the trip is bound to be as enjoyable as every other not to mention educational,"

"Educational?" Skeeter asked her, "Could you perhaps clarify for the our readers?"

Smiling while noticing the twins and a group of ginger haired people standing off to the side, Aria said, "Xenophilius takes us to other countries in order to give us a broader view of the world which will assist us in the future. It also puts us into contact with places filled with rich culture which will only broaden our view even more. I always end up finding new styles of art that interest me."

"You're an artist?" Skeeter looked slightly surprised.

"I suppose that I am," Aria flushed lightly and looked away, "I enjoy drawing quite a bit and I believe I'm fairly good at it,"

Before Skeeter could ask anymore questions, Xenophilius walked up with Luna, "Ah, Aria. I apologize for the wait."

"It quite alright as Ms. Skeeter was keeping me company," Aria replied feeling relieved that Xenophilius had finally arrived.

"Before you go," Skeeter spoke up, "Could you give us that statement I asked for?"

"Of course," Aria nodded lightly.

"What do you think of the Wizengamot's decision about your guardianship," Skeeter questioned as cameras flashed and quills began to write.

Aria took a deep breath before saying, "I believe that they made the best decision possible and am glad they considered my opinions in this case. From my experience, adults tend to ignore the opinions and views of those they view as children because it is thought that the child in question is too immature. The fact that they took my opinions into consideration for their decision shows that they are doing their job."

"Based on your statement, can I assume that you do not view yourself as a child?" Skeeter offered her a raised eyebrow.

Aria looked at Skeeter with a frown, "How can one be a child when they've never had a chance? My relatives, the ones Dumbledore placed me with, were not kind to me. If anything, they were what many would call abusive. After all, my uncle thought it would be fun to abandon me in the slums of a country where I did not speak the language with the full intention of seeing me dead at the end. If that isn't abuse, I do not know what is," Aria took a deep breath, "If you have any questions, I suggest asking Dumbledore why he placed me there as well as the Ministry about why no one ever checked up on me. If you'll excuse us, Luna and I are tired. It has been a long day and we both are starving."

With that, Aria turned on her heel and stalked off. Xenophilius and Luna followed after her. Xenophilius only spoke once they'd reached the safety of the Lovegood family home, "Was that wise?"

"It is the beginning of Dumbledore's decent from his position and force him to answer questions he doesn't want to answer," Aria replied while taking off her shoes, "It will get the public to start questioning him. While it isn't much, it's a start,"

Luna laid down on the bed beside Aria and commented, "Dumbledore will increase his efforts to get you under his thumb."

"He'll learn that I will not be controlled," Aria replied as stared up at the ceiling.

Luna hummed lightly before saying, "I've been thinking."

"Oh?" Aria glanced at her, "Is this going to be part of your plan to see the world burn?"

Luna grinned at her, "Maybe. I think we should start checking out the animagus transformation."

Aria blinked slightly, "You want us to learn how to transform into the animal that represents us? Why?"

"It will be useful," Luna replied, "Not to mention, I want to see just what animal you are," She paused before adding, "And we need to get Daddy to teach us about the patronus charm,"

"Once I get back," Aria told her.

"Of course," Luna yawned softly and closed her eyes.

Aria was tempted to get the blonde to go to her own bed, but decided that it wasn't worth it. Aria missed sleeping beside someone and while Luna wasn't Uta, she would be good enough.

Well summer is almost here.
