~Study, Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England, 1994~

Lucius Malfoy looked at the letter in his hands with a slight sneer as his wife, Narcissa, entered the room. Narcissa looked at Lucius curiously, "Something wrong, Dear?"

"It seems the Minister has invited us to attend the Yule Ball being held at Hogwarts this year," Lucius looked at Narcissa as she gasped.

Narcissa smiled as she thought of the ball, "It would be nice to see Draco and we'll get the chance to interact with the foreign officials that are most likely going to be there.

Lucius was aware that she would most likely be planning to making the wives of those officials envious of her. Inwardly snorting at that, Lucius cleared his throat to drag her out of her thoughts, "Be that as it may, I'm more concerned with the fact that Trafalgar and her ilk will be there as well."

"You don't think they would cause trouble, do you?" Narcissa frowned at the thought.

"Considering the fact that Trafalgar's husband killed Dumbledore?" Lucius saw Narcissa's frown deepen.

"I suppose," Narcissa didn't like the thought of such an event being ruined by the rabble, "Perhaps it will allow us to get a better measure of them. All we know of Trafalgar and her allies is by word of mouth and things written by Skeeter. I doubt that Skeeter has the truth of it all,"

Lucius considered this for a few moments before nodding, "Perhaps. I do wonder if having Trafalgar as an ally would be a good idea."

Perhaps working with the Summoner would be a better idea than going against her. There was no telling if the Dark lord could actually revive himself, Lucius found himself reasoning. Nothing even pointed towards him trying, so Lucius should be free to leave the shackles he'd been held down by behind. New allies would be a good idea and even if the dark lord came back, Lucius would be allied with someone that had a good chance at beating the man. The first task was a prime example of the power that the woman wielded. He'd feel her out first before committing to the idea, but it was worth a shot. Narcissa speaking again brought his attention back to the present, "Dear would you be opposed of me seeking Trafalgar out during the ball?"

Lucius found himself smiling. Though their marriage had been arranged, he did love Narcissa as her thoughts often went hand in hand with his, "I was planning on doing so already. Perhaps we could speak to her together."

"I wonder what her husband is like," Narcissa mused as she sat down on one of the couches in the room, "Perhaps, you'll find an ally in him and I'll find an ally in Trafalgar,"

"Perhaps," Lucius' mind whirled with ideas of what to do, "Oh and the Minister has requested that I ask if you wouldn't mind helping Trafalgar and her group find appropriate clothing for the ball,"

Narcissa beamed at the thought, "It seems I will be meeting them early then."

Lucius nodded as he took a out a piece of parchment, "I will write him to both accept the invitation and his request."

~Empty Classroom, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina grimaced at the thought of dancing like this in public. Law smirked down at her as he maneuvered them into another circle, "Something wrong?"

Zerina's eyes narrowed at him, "This kind of dancing is boring."

Law chuckled and leaned down to kiss her softly, "Be that as it may, we will only have to do it like this until Strawhat-ya and the others interfere and turn the ball into something up our alley."

Zerina pouted at him in faux-displeasure, "Why must you always be right?"

Law smirked at her, "Because if you were right most of the time, we'd be in a lot of trouble due to your bizarre luck."

Zerina's eyes narrowed once again, "My luck isn't that bizarre."

"Oh?" One of his eyebrows rose, "Then what do you call being turned into a child-like version of yourself after going through that doorway on that one island at the beginning of the New World,"

Zerina's cheeks pinked, "Th-that wa-" She settled for glowering at him, "Mean."

"I think," McGonagall spoke up reminding both of them that they weren't alone, "That you two have gotten it down,"

"And it only took two practices," Zerina grinned.

"Only because Taro was leading," Nami pointed out earning a glare from Zerina, "You aren't very good at dancing like this,"

The only thing that kept her from saying anything in return was McGonagall continuing to speak, "As it stands, I believe that all of you will be happy to know that we've booked you a trip to Diagon Alley to get the appropriate clothing for the ball. You all will be leaving this Saturday and staying in the Leaky Cauldron until Tuesday where you will return here. Any questions?"

"Will someone be guiding us to the shop we'll be using?" Zerina asked earning a nod, "Who?"

"The Minister hasn't told me just yet," McGonagall admitted making Zerina bristle as Law's eyes narrowed and his grip on Zerina increased, "He thought it would be best if you're exposed to various people in our world and I agreed. Your guide will also help you find something appropriate to wear to the ball,"

"And why exactly would you agree to this without asking us?" Law pulled Zerina closer as he practically hissed those words out.

Zerina noted that Law's transformation had finally started to somewhat influence him if the low rumbling growl emanating from his chest meant anything. Zerina inwardly shook her head to focus on McGonagall's reply, "I didn't think you'd mind. I have been assured by the Minister that your guide would be neutral to you all and that she would be pleased to take time out of her busy schedule to help you."

Zerina's eyes narrowed at that. It seemed that the Minister wanted to make them feel like insignificant bugs compared to whoever was going to be helping them. While the man might have misspoken his words, Zerina was willing to bet that the Minister was planning on trying to get them as his allies. Zerina held back a snort at the thought of it. Zerina pushed those thoughts away for now. She would only get her answer when they actually met whoever this woman was. Perhaps they would get a chance to visit Gringotts while in Diagon, Zerina want to see how the goblins were progressing with their property.

~Captain's Quarters, Hearts Pirates Sub/Ship, Black Lake, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina looked at Law from her place on one of the couches as he prowled around the room which was new to her. It seemed his transformation was affecting him more than she thought Shaking her head lightly, Zerina called out, "Law what's on your mind?"

"The Minister," Law replied while looking up at her, "I'm trying to figure out what he's planning,"

"More than likely, he want's us as his allies or rather Aki, Vult, and I as his allies due to our Summoner magic," Zerina decided to tell Law about her thoughts on what the Minister is doing, "The Minister probably believes that Luffy and the other's aren't worth being his allies due to their status as mundanes. He probably doesn't even realize that you have magic, so he thinks that you'll be easy to manipulate," Zerina saw Law's frown deepen and opened their bond.

"Do you think he'll try to manipulate you?" While his concern didn't show on his face, Zerina could see it in his eyes.

Zerina thought about it and nodded, "More than likely. He's a politician and the ones back home tend to try their hand at manipulation to get what they want if all else fails. Seeing as he isn't a very good one, I'm betting he'll try it."

Law grimaced, "I don't like it."

"This is why I hate politics," Zerina groaned out, "One of the reasons I joined you was to avoid dealing with bullshit like this,"

Even if the current topic put Law on edge, Zerina saying things like that always put him in a good mood. Law loved teasing her, "Oh? So you have experience?"

"Of course I have experience," Zerina looked like a puffed up fox, "I am the daughter, adopted or not, of a Summoner Clan Head. I was taught the ins and outs of political bullshitting while I was growing up,"

"Then why don't you act like the prissy little prince you were raised to be?" Law found himself wishing he had a way to record what happened next.

Zerina's jaw dropped and the high pitch sound of indeterminate meaning she made almost set him off. Zerina made a choking noise as she stared at Law in abject horror before shouting, "Blasphemy! How could you say something like that?!"

Law couldn't stop himself from laughing at her reaction. Zerina realized what Law had done the moment he started laughing and glared at him. Oh he was going to get it. Zerina shifted into her transformation and hopped onto the floor. Moving stealthily towards where Law was standing with his back towards her, Zerina focused on her transformation. The added weight of one more tail plus the slightly disorientating feeling of growing rapidly in the space of a few seconds made her close her eyes for a few moment in order to readjust to her animal form. Once she felt alright, she opened her eyes and looked at Law. Letting out a soft growl, she watched him turn around and his eyes widen as he stopped laughing, "Rina-ya?"

Zerina lept forward and pounced on his chest. Due to her new bulk, she managed to knock him onto the ground. She settled on his chest and barked at him. Zerina dimly noticed his hat fall slowly to the ground. She spoke using their connection, "I do not appreciate being teased like that."

"I think I've figured that out by now," Law replied in a slightly dry tone, "How did you get bigger?"

"My transformation is that of a kitsune," Zerina explained as her anger faded slightly, "Kitsune can control how many tails they allow someone to see and the size of their bodies through the use of Fox Fire. I usually choose my twin tailed form because it allows me to move around unseen unless I wish it,"

"How many tails do you have?" Law asked curiously.

"Six though that's because of my magical power. The only way for me to gain anymore is through age though I doubt I will ever attain the prized ninth tail," Zerina replied as she laid down slightly, "I don't even think I want that tail,"

Law frowned at his timber wolf sized bonded, "Why not?"

"Only those that reach over six hundred years of life will gain that tail," Zerina didn't want to think about living that long, "It mean a life of loneliness and I don't want that. 'Sides, I'm just a Summoner. Only true kitsune can live that long,"

"Can you get off me?" Law asked earning a soft huff.

Rather than do as he asked, Zerina returned to her human form, "No because you said something that I don't even want to think about."

Law rolled his eyes and sat up forcing Zerina to slid into his lap. A small yelp left her lips as he did that earning a low chuckle from him. Zerina glared at him lightly due to her new position of straddling him. He inwardly chuckled as he said, "I didn't think you'd react that way."

Zerina looked away with a huff, "Still doesn't change the fact that you said that."

Law wrapped an arm around her waist to pull her closer to him which prompted her to look at him. He captured her lips in a soft kiss. Zerina immediatly hummed softly and closed her eyes. Lifting up one hand, he slipped it into her hair as he lightly ran his tongue against the seal of her lips. Zerina didn't open her mouth and actually broke the kiss. She got out of his hold with slight ease due to his surprise. Looking at her curiously, Law asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to go see what Zoro's doing," Zerina answered making Law look at her in surprise, "Maybe he'll let me see one of his swords,"

Zerina left the room without allowing him a chance to speak.

~Guest Table, Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Aki looked at Law as the man sat down and saw the frown on his face. Part of him wanted to leave the man be, but his sister was curiously missing from the grey eyed captains side. It could mean that Zerina had gotten hurt, but he doubted that Law would be here if that happened. It could mean that Law had done something to piss off Zerina, but the man usually managed to avoid doing so. It could mean that Zerina was dealing with her new students or spending time with Luna. In the end, Aki didn't have a good answer and was forced to ask, "Where's Zerina?"

"With Zoro-ya," Law grunted with a low growl edged onto his tone.

Aki was surprised by the answer, "Zoro? I mean the guy does have some of the best swords in the world and Zerina likes learning about every new weapon she can, but I'm fairly sure she's already done that."

Law didn't get a chance to reply as Zerina walked right passed him talking to Zoro. A growl left Law and Aki realized what had happened as Luffy called out, "Hey Zerina! Eating with us?"

"Yup," Zerina sat down beside Zoro and engaged the rubber captain in a conversation that Aki didn't pay any attention to.

"You pissed her off," Aki snickered at Law as the man glared at him, "How the hell did you managed it? I mean it's not impossible, but you managing to piss her off is rare as hell," Aki grabbed his cup, "So what did you do?"

Law didn't want to have this conversation with Zerina's brother, but he needed to figure out a way to get Zerina to forgive him. Inwardly growling, Law ground out, "I teased her."

"That shouldn't make her angry," Aki began drinking from his cup.

"I asked her why she doesn't act like the prissy princess she was raised to be," Law admitted making Aki choke on what he was drinking.

Vultan pounded on Aki's chest to help the man get the liquid out of his lungs. Aki took multiple deep breaths once he could breath correctly and wheezed out, "You did what?!"

"I dislike repeating myself," Law glared at Aki.

Aki cleared his throat and took a drink before setting the cup down, "Dude, you don't call my sister a prissy princess. Not only is it rude, it's an easy way to piss her off."

The look Aki was given in return told him that Law had realized that. Law took a deep breath, "How do I get her to stop being mad at me?"

"Let her cool off," Aki offered only to be given a small glare, "I can't tell you what to do. Zerina has always been a difficult person when she get's angry, so the best thing to do is let her cool off," Aki ran a hand through his hair, "Tell her you're sorry. It might help her cool down faster,"

"Is there any other way?" Law didn't relish in apologizing to anyone even if that someone was Zerina.

"You don't have access to her favorite chocolate, do you?" Aki offered and Law had to think about it.

"I might," Law would have to check his stash before he could properly answer that question, "Any other ways?"

Aki thought about it for a few moments, "Getting her a new weapons cleaning kit, get her a new book on runic arrays, new potions kit, or maybe some samples from some beast that she can experiment with when making a new weapon. Other than that, I don't have any other suggestions."

All those suggestions were either expensive or hard to get in a place like this. Law really hoped he had that chocolate.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina settled on the couch in the living area of her rooms in the castle with a book on runic arrays that she'd managed to snag from the restricted section of the library. It was obviously a book that had been forgotten due to how much dust had been on it and how old it was. Just as she started to open it, a knock sounded on the door. Checking who it was, Zerina set the book down and waved her hand at the door with a small application of magic. Luna was revealed to her and Zerina smiled at the girl, "Hello Luna. What can I do for you?"

Luna walked in slowly while closing the door behind her, "I was hoping that you could tell me more about the mages from your home."

"Of course," Zerina smiled at the girl and waved to the seat next to her on the couch while calling out, "Hilly."

The house elf appeared as Luna sat down, "Yes Summoner Rina?"

"Can you get us some hot chocolate and some light snacks?" Zerina asked earning a nod.

"Hilly be right back," The house elf disappeared.

Zerina smiled at Luna, "The hot chocolate Hilly makes is simply amazing."

"I've never had it before," Luna admitted softly, "I've always gone home during the Yule holidays which is when they usually make it,"

"Oh?" Zerina vaguely remembered Ginny mentioning that a majority of the students went home during those holidays.

Hilly appeared and set a tray down, "Here you go."

"Thank you Hilly," The elf blushed and beamed at her before disappearing.

Luna took the cup Zerina offered her and settled into the couch, "Daddy and I usually spend it together searching for various magical creatures that people don't believe exist."

"Hm," Zerina hummed in acknowledgement and noted the sad tone Luna had taken on, "Luna is something wrong?"

The girl was silent as she stared into her cup of hot chocolate and Zerina was startled to see a tear fall into the drink. Zerina set her cup down and gently took the cup from Luna prompting the girl to look at her. Zerina reached out and gently moved a piece of Luna's bangs from the blonde's face. Tearful blue eyes looked at her for a few moments before Luna murmured, "Daddy hasn't been the same since Mommy died and it's been getting worse. He used to spend a week or two at a time away during which he left me with the Weasleys. It kept increasing until this past summer. Daddy-he-he-he never came to pick up from the train station...I..."

Zerina carefully gathered the blonde into her arms and held her as she broke down crying. Zerina rubbed Luna's back as the blonde cried into her shoulder and gripped the material of her night shirt. Zerina was angry at Luna's father for doing this to her, but pushed that anger down as she tried to help Luna out.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina looked up from Luna as the door opened to admit Law. The still angry part of her wanted to ignore him, but the rest of her was too tired to do so. Law looked at the blonde currently curled up against Zerina, "What happened?"

"She came to learn more about the mages back home," Zerina answered as picked up her still warm cup of hot chocolate, "I ordered some hot chocolate and snacks since it was kind of late. We got onto the topic of Luna never having it before and she told me about why that was. The topic saddened her and I asked her what was wrong. She started crying and now I want to kill her father,"

Zerina's tone during the last part was clipped which told Law just how angry she was. Inwardly wincing at the tone and feeling very glad that she wasn't that angry at him, Law asked, "What are you going to do with her?"

"I'm going to let her sleep as I can tell that she hasn't slept very well in awhile," Zerina ran a hand through her hair, "I don't know where her common room is, so I'm just going to let her sleep in here tonight,"

Law had figured that she would be doing that, "Will you be going to bed soon?"

"She's holding onto my shirt and I don't know if getting her to release it will wake her up," Zerina saw Law frown and knew he didn't like it, but she was tired enough to not care, "I'll go to bed once she's released me,"

Law didn't like it, but knew it was for the best, "I'll be back later than."

"Night," Zerina murmured as she reached for her book on runic array and settled in for a long night.

"Night," Law left the room feeling slightly frustrated.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

When Zerina felt Luna let go of her, she marked her page in the very interesting book and carefully got up. Once that was done, she grabbed one of the pillows sitting on one of the chairs in the room and settled it under Luna's head before going into her room. Softly calling out, "Holly," The house elf appeared moments later, "Can you get me a blanket for Luna?"

"Of course," The elf disappeared for a few moments before reappearing with a rather thick looking blue blanket, "Here you go,"

"Thank you," Zerina watched the elf disappear once more before going back out into the living room.

Zerina covered Luna with the blanket as the blonde murmured sleepily, "'Rina?"

"Sleep cubling," Zerina told her in a soft tone, "You need to rest,"

"M'kay," Luna snuggled into the blanket, "Night,"

"Good night," Zerina replied with a small amount of amusement.

Zerina turned off the lights leaving only the crackling fire to give the room a dim glow. Moving into her room, Zerina left the door opened and got into bed. Curling up with a low sigh, Zerina went to sleep. She stirred for a few moments when Law came into the room, but returned to her dreams when he settled down next to her.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Luna slowly woke up feeling warm and groggy rather than cold like she usually did while at Hogwarts. She tried to remember what happened last night as her head felt stuffy and heavy. As the memories trickled in, Luna almost froze only to feel a callused and scarred hand touch her cheek as a warm voice murmured, "I know you're awake cub."

Luna cracked open an eye and found Zerina knelt before her, "I cried myself to sleep."

"That you did," Zerina didn't look at her with anger only warmth and sadness, "Do you want to talk about it?"

Luna hesitated as she wondered if Zerina would just drop it if she asked. Would the Summoner that was supposed to be her teacher push her? A part of her shivered at the very thought and she found herself murmuring, "No."

Zerina nodded as if expecting that answer, "Alright Cub. I'll wait until you're ready," Luna looked at her in surprise only to receive a warm smile in return, "I won't push you for information that you're not ready to share. It would be both rude and very stupid of me to do so," Zerina stood up, "For now though, I think breakfast is in order."

Luna's stomach grumbled and Zerina giggled softly. Luna blushed lightly as she slowly sat up. She saw that one of the tables in the room was set up with the food in question. She froze upon seeing the man, Zerina's bonded, sitting at the table. Zerina settled down at the seat next to the man's and looked at her. Luna slowly got up from her makeshift bed and walked over to sit on Zerina's side while trying to not look at the man sitting at the head of the table, "Thank you."

"It's no trouble," Zerina smiled at her and began to eat her breakfast, "Ignore him," She pointed at her bonded with the fork in her hand, "He may look scary, but he's a big old softy,"

"Rina-ya," The warning tone he used didn't mask the exasperation and amusement in the man's grey eyes.

Zerina gave him a faux-innocent smile, "What? You are when it comes to the boys and I."

Law rolled his eyes though the small smile on his face showed that he was amused, "That's because you're crew."

"She's my student, so she automatically nakama," Zerina childishly blew a raspberry at Law.

"Childish," Law muttered though his eyes showed just how much he loved that about Zerina.

"You wouldn't love me if I wasn't," Zerina's sing song tone made Luna giggle softly.

She froze immediatly after the sound left her only to see Zerina grin brightly. Law chuckled and looked at Luna, "My name is Trafalgar Law. Rina-ya is my first-mate, the cook of my crew, and my bonded."

"Lovegood Luna," Luna remembered to say her last name first during her introduction like Zerina taught her.

"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Lovegood," Law replied with amusement coating his tone, "I hope you realize that Zerina won't let you go now that you're her student,"

Luna looked at Zerina and found her nodding along with Law's words. Zerina turned to Luna and smiled softly making Luna's chest feel warm, "I did promise you that I'd never leave you after all. You're one of mine."

"One of yours?" Luna mumbled softly.

Zerina nodded lightly, "One of my children and one of my students."

"You have more?" Luna asked earning a soft laugh.

Zerina shook her head, "I have more students, but you're my only child for the moment."

Luna ran that through her head moments before images assaulted her mind...

~Luna's Vision 1~

"Dracious Namirka Shorn Gaia Dorunum," Aki breath out softly over a small bundle before handing it to a tired Zerina, "There he'll be fine, you did well, little sister,"

"Thank you," Zerina smiled softly before looking at Luna, "Come here, Cub,"

Luna slowly approached the bed and Zerina held the bundle out towards her. She carefully took the bundle and found little baby inside of it. A tuft of black hair sprouted from the babies head with a few white spots. Moments later, the babies eyes opened to reveal two diffrent colored eyes. One was the steel grey of Law's eyes and the other was a soft yellow color that shifted into a dark blue as the babies face twisted. Luna was quick to hand the child back and Zerina shook her head lightly as Luna murmured, "Sorry."

"It's fine," Zerina's eyes shown with amusement, "He's a choosy little thing," Zerina shook her head lightly as she calmed the baby, "Then again, Law is his father,"

"You're 'choosy' as well," Law snarked as he strolled into the room and plucked his son from Zerina's arms, "He's perfect,"

"That he is," Zerina looked at Luna, "XXXXXX will be singing a diffrent tune when he's older,"

~Luna's Vision 2~

"Lu!" A salt and pepper haired toddler cried out to her with his arms held up.

Luna noted that right his eye was a soft yellow as she picked him up, "XXX where's Mom?"

"Right here," Zerina walked out of a shadowed room that Luna couldn't see, "I needed to change my shirt since he decided to use it as chew toy,"

"Hermione sent a letter," Luna said as she reached into her pocket after setting the toddler on her hip and pulled out the letter in question.

"What do you think she needs?" Zerina asked while taking the letter.

Law walked into the room, "Probably wondering if you'll be attending that ball they're throwing."

"Why are they doing that again?" Zerina asked while opening the letter, "Didn't they have one a few months ago,"

"That was Hermione-ya's wedding," Law corrected as he walked towards the shadowed room, "I think they're throwing one to honor the new government,"

Zerina hummed in acknowledgement.

~Luna's vision 3~

"Big sister," The toddler had turned into a four year old, "Look at what I can do,"

He lifted up his hand and it was covered in a soft yellow glow that radiated heat. The glow flowed to the exact center of his palm before slowly rising above it to form an orb. The orb shifted and shone as it became a rudimentary bird. Luna found herself smiling, "That's very good XXX. How did you manage that?"

"I wanted to do what Mama does with her fox fire and what you can do with your mist," XXX explained with his right eye turning a soft pink which matched the small blush coating his tanned features, "So I did that meditating thing Mama, Papa, and you do, I started a few months ago. I found this ball-like thing in my mind and began to play with it. When I finished meditating, I tried to call it up, but it didn't work. I kept on trying because everyone's always telling me that we have to try again and again to do our best. I finally managed to get it to come to the surface last month and I finally managed to create this thing last night,"

"Did you tell Mom?" Luna asked making XXX's blush increase and the pink brighten, "I'll take that as a no. Let's go tell her,"

"Right!" XXX nodded quickly.

~Luna's vision 4~

"Big sister!" A grinning five year old ran towards her, "Uncle Edric!"

"Easy XXX," Edric caught the boy around the middle and hefted him up onto his shoulder, "What's the rush?"

"Mama's going to teach me summoning!" XXX cried out happily as his right eye turned a bright golden yellow, "Isn't that awesome?!"

"Aren't you a little young?" Luna stole the five year old from Edric.

XXX looked at her in confusion as his right eye turned a soft green, "What do you mean?"

Luna smiled as Edric muttered, "The kids so smart, but doesn't understand simple things like rules."

"Usually mage's start on their branches of magic at the age of six from what Mom told me," Luna informed the child.

"Oh," XXX's right eye turned yellow once again, "Maybe I'm diffrent?"

A soft laugh brought their attention to Zerina walking up with amusement on her face, "Hatchling, you didn't let me finish."

XXX blushed as his eye turned a soft pink, "Sorry."

"I'm going to help you summon your familiar," Zerina corrected with a soft smile, "You won't be learning how to summon anything until you're at least six and even then, you won't actually summon anything until I know you'll be able to defend yourself,"

"So he's going to start training soon?" Edric asked earning a nod, "Who's going to start it?"

"Law decided that it would be best if he took care of the basics," Zerina replied.

"You do have a tendency to go a little far and Captain knows that," Edric replied while Luna and XXX giggled at the byplay.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah rub it in," Zerina rolled her eyes, "Just remember who's daughter you're dating,"

"Mom/Z-chan!" Edric and Luna shouted causing XXX to dissolve into a fit of laughter.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina held Luna carefully as Law asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"She's having a vision," Zerina replied as she carefully watched Luna's currently white eyes, "Nothing is wrong, but she'll be exhausted when it's done,"

"Doesn't she have class?" Law asked earning a nod.

Zerina whistled softly and Cole ran into the room from the bed room, "You whistled."

"Can you please go inform Professor Flitwick that Luna needs to be excused from her morning classes?" Zerina asked earning a nod, "If he asks, I want you to tell him that I was teaching her something last night and she needs to rest a bit before she's ready for class,"

"Of course," Cole raced towards the door, opened it with his tail, and left the room.

Law looked at her in surprise, "You're lying to someone?"

Zerina shrugged lightly, "If I need to, I don't mind lying too much. It isn't that much of a lie since Luna will be too tired to attend her morning classes."

Any further conversation was cut off when Luna gasped and shut her eyes. Zerina continued to hold the girl as Luna breathed heavily. Rubbing Luna's back, Zerina looked at Law and found him looking at Luna in concern. She smiled softly at that which Law noticed. He looked away as he picked up his coffee cup, "If she's going to be your daughter, I might as well adopt her as well since she will be a member of the crew which means I need to care about her. I'll still need to get to know her."

"No doubt," Zerina giggled softly before looking at Luna as the girl sighed softly and opened her eyes, "You alright, Cubling?"

"'M 'Ine," Luna mumbled sleepily before focusing on Zerina, "What does 'Dracious Namirka Shorn Gaia Dorunum' mean?"

Zerina looked at Luna with wide eyes making Law blink slightly before he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dracious Namirka Shorn Gaia Dorunum is a spell prayer used a few days after the birth of a child," Zerina shook of her shock as she explained earning a surprised look from Law, "It means 'A prosperous life given by Gaia to this child'. Where did you hear that?"

"I saw it in my vision," Luna explained while shaking her head, "Your brother said it,"

Zerina smiled softly, "I suppose that means you've seen that parts of my child's future."

"Some," Luna looked at Zerina with hazy eyes, "So you're pregnant,"

"That I am," Luna nodded slowly.

"Congratulations," Luna whispered before her eyes close and her body fell forward.

Zerina caught her as Law asked, "She saw our kid in her vision?" Zerina nodded as she carefully picked up Luna and got up from her chair, "That means everything should be alright, right?"

"Yes," Zerina settled Luna on the couch once more and placed the blanket over her, "It is a relieving thought, is it?"

"It is," Law looked at the sleeping blonde as she curled into a ball, "About what I said yesterday-"

Zerina held up a hand and smiled at seeing the reflexive glare Law gave her, "It's alright. I over reacted and I've already got you back."

Law lost his glare as Zerina sat down, "So I don't need to apologize?"

"An apology would still be appreciated, but no," Zerina grabbed a piece of bacon, "How about we eat breakfast and get our days started before we do anything else?"

Law nodded, "What are your plans for the day?"

"I am meeting with McGonagall to go over the last few bits of Transfiguration that I haven't done yet in an hour," Zerina informed him, "After that, I promised Luffy that I would show him around the castle a little bit more. I'm going to be busy until after dinner,"

Law was slightly irritated by that answer, but pushed that down, "After dinner, we should spend some time together."

"I'd like that," Zerina smiled at him, "How about a light spar?"

Law thought about it. It shouldn't harm the baby this early in its development, so it would be alright, "I wouldn't mind that. I assume you'll be leaving your magic out of it?"

"Since it's a light spar, yes," Zerina replied.

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Luna woke up again and mentally groaned at the thought of having a vision that early in the morning. She rubbed her temples as she sat up and was surprised to hear Law speaking to her, "Awake again."

"Oh, Law," Luna mumbled while looking around.

Law seemed to know what Luna was looking for, "Rina-ya is currently in a meeting with McGonagall-ya. She should be done soon."

Luna nodded lightly, "What time is it?"

"Around 11 which means you should be able to get an early lunch if you wish," Law saw Luna grimace, "Something wrong?"

Luna hesitated before admitting, "I have a headache."

Law closed the book he was reading, "Holly,"

The elf that Zerina had called before appeared, "Yes Bonded Law?"

"Please get a glass of water and some fruit," The man ordered while seemingly not phased by what the elf had called him.

"Of course," Holly disappeared while Luna looked at Law in confusion.

The elf appeared moments later with the glass and a bowl of cut up fruits before leaving once it was in Law's hands. He approached her as she sat up, "I believe these should help with your headache."

Luna took the items he held out for her, "Why are you helping me?"

Law returned to where he had been sitting and seemed to consider her question as she took a sip of the water. She began eating the fruit and found her headache slowly fading. Law finally answered her halfway through the bowl, "Rina-ya has adopted you which means I will be doing the same as you'll eventually become a member of my crew and I'll have to care for you."

"You want to adopt me?" Luna stopped eating to stare at the man.

Law nodded with a slight smirk, "Yes. Rina-ya already has, so why not."

Luna frowned at him, "I don't think-"

Law held up a hand to cut her off, "I don't want to replace your father or anything like that. I just want to give you additional protection."

"From what?" Luna asked while resuming her small snack.

"Rina-ya and I have many enemies in both worlds," Law explained while opening his book once more, "Rina-ya's enemies here will be leery of pissing her off due to the power her father's family has as well as the power Summoner's have in this world. Our enemies back home consider me the bigger threat and such, will be leery of harming you. While there will be times when our enemies will try to attack you regardless of those facts due to some idiot thinking you're the chink in our metaphorical armor, we will make sure that you cannot be harmed," Law looked at Luna, "We will teach you as much as we possibly can to make sure you will survive no matter what,"

Luna considered the information he had offered her, "Why are you so willing to do this?"

Law considered the question for a few moments before replying, "Rina-ya and I are planning on having as many children as we can due to the fact that both of us wish for a large family. Adopting you will only allow our family to grow."

Luna shifted nervously as she murmured, "You don't seem the type to do things like this."

Law chuckled in response, "I'm not," Luna looked at him sharply upon hearing that admittance, "I will admit that I'm not a kind man and will let people suffer if they do not have something that I want or need. I'm known as a sadist among the people back home," Law sighed softly and his smirk shifted into a small smile, "However, Rina-ya can often convince me to do things that I usually wouldn't do and Rina-ya cares for you. Because of that, I will try to do the same."

"So it's only because of her...?" Luna trailed off.

Law looked at her and she saw the truthfulness in his eyes as he put it bluntly, "Yes."

~Guest Room, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina walked in and found Luna gone, "Where's Luna?"

Law looked up from his book as she set the bag she was carrying onto the table he was sitting at, "She woke up, we talked while she ate a snack, and she left."

"What did you two talk about?" Zerina asked while moving towards the bedroom to grab the weapons she had stashed there.

Law was silent as Zerina moved about in the bed room. He only answered her when she returned into the living room, "I told her that I'm adopting her and why."

Zerina nodded lightly, "I see. I suppose you've mentioned our rather large amount of enemies."

"That I did though I didn't say anything about who our enemies were," Law clarified earning a slightly relieved smile, "When will you inform her about the Marines and the fact that we're actually the 'bad' guys?"

Zerina thought it over before sighing, "Soon. I just want her to get used to me first."

Law let the topic go and looked over Zerina, "Going to join up with Strawhat-ya?"

"After I eat lunch with you," Zerina replied while taking a seat across from him, "I'm supposed to meet Luffy and the crewmates joining him in the entrance hall,"

Law called for Holly and told the elf what to get them for lunch before asking, "Why take your weapons?"

Zerina snorted softly at the question, "It's Luffy and his crew. They always run into enemies or interesting situations everywhere they go. They get into more trouble than we do on a daily basis."

Law conceeded to her point, "So just in case."

"I can't just rush into every situation that I find myself in," Zerina smiled as Holly brought them their lunch, "Thank you Holly,"

"No problem," Holly disappeared without another word.

"I do realize that I need to be more careful now," Law was glad for that.

Law smiled slightly as they began to eat their lunch, "How was your meeting with McGonagall?"

"It was interesting," Zerina took a sip of her drink, "We were focusing on human transfiguration..."

~Entrance Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

"Luffy are you guys ready?" Zerina asked from the stairs gaining Luffy attention.

"Of course!" Luffy grinned brightly, "Let's go!"

~Unused Hallway, Dungeons, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina slashed at another of the demonic little imps that kept popping up, "How the hell do you deal with getting into situations like this?"

Zoro looked at her and snorted as he cut up another of the fast little buggers, "Experience. Luffy usually drags us into these situations."

"Honestly we don't usually run into stuff," Zerina didn't mind it too much, "I kind of wish we did. It would make life a little bit more interesting,"

Luffy shouted at them from way up ahead, "Hey there's a room with chests!"

Zerina looked at where she could see Luffy in surprise, "A room with chests? I didn't know that there was a room like that down here."

"That's Luffy for you, he's always discovering random things," Zoro sighed as they picked up the pace to get to the straw hat wearing captain.

~Small tunnel, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina sneezed from the amount of dust that surrounded them, "How the hell did we get into this situation?"

Zoro turned his head towards her as they dragged themselves through the cramped tunnel, "Luffy decided to see what that lever in the room with chests did and we entered just as he pulled it."

"He's worse than a curious little kitten," Zerina shook her head, "At least he's getting rid of the cobwebs and any spiders that were in here,"

"Yeah," Zoro agreed as they continued to follow after the wayward captain.

"I'm so going to be taking a long shower when we're finish," Zerina vowed only to sneeze again, "Let's hope this tunnel ends soon,"

~Large room, Underground, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina looked around the dank room while carefully casting a few spells to light it up. Luffy cried out, "Wow this place looks scary! Did you know this place was here?"

"No," Zerina grimaced at the scent of stagnant water, "I think we should hurry and get out of here,"

"C'mon," Luffy grinned at her, "Let's explore!"

Luffy raced off before she could reply and Zoro shrugged as Zerina groaned, "At least we can find a way out."

"True," Zerina eyed the snake statues and openly grimaced at the giant head currently settled above the large pool of water at the back of the room, "I wonder where we are,"

Zoro shrugged, "Who knows. Let's go find Luffy."

Zoro started walking in the exact opposite direction Luffy had taken off in. Zerina rolled her eyes and sniffed the air. Snake? The scent had faded, but Zerina got the basics of what kind of snake it belonged to. An old one with a rather caustic scent. Zerina walked towards the ugly looking head as she followed the scent. What kind of snakes did she know of with that kind of scent? A small hum left her as she thought of all the species of snakes that she knew of.

~Large room, Underground, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

Zerina stiffened as Luffy knocked the mouth of the statue loose. As he was about to take off into the tunnel that was revealed, Zerina heard the soft scratching sound that scales made when moving across smooth stone. Zerina grabbed Luffy and quickly hid behind a statue, "Zerina what are you doing?"

"Something's coming out of that things mouth," Zerina pointed at the statue, "It's some kind of snake and I don't know if it'll attack us just because we're here,"

"So what're we suppose to do?" Luffy asked with eagerness in his voice, "Are you going to talk to it?"

"I'm going to cast a spell that will allow me to understand what it's saying," Zerina didn't have that ability, "The only Mage's with that ability are Druids, Speakers, and Beast Mages," Zerina focused one her magic and began to chant softly, "Speak not as a beast, but a being. Speak and allow me to understand. Understand me as I speak. That should do it,"

The snake slid out of the mouth of the statue and Zerina found herself freezing. Poison green scales? Check. Yellow eyes? Check. Mouth full of fangs? Check. Black venom? Check. For the love of Gaia, the school had a fucking basilisk nesting under it. Zerina grimaced as she sniffed the air. A female basilisk. Internally growling at whoever put the damn thing down there, Zerina pushed Luffy against the stone wall. He looked at her in confusion, "Zerina what are you doing?"

"Saving our asses," Zerina took a deep breath and did another spell, "A gaze of death shall falter and fail as I speak, so no being shall be turned to stone. Luffy stay back unless I call for you,"

"Why?" Luffy looked at her in confusion.

"Basilisk's aren't the calmest of beings and this one probably won't be any diffrent," Zerina explained as she moved towards the center of the room, "Avoid the mouth no matter what. It's venom will kill you if a phoenix isn't nearby to counteract it,"

Zerina stepped fully into the center of the room and the basilisk swung her head towards Zerina while hissing, "*Who are you?*"

"My name is Zerina, Lady Basilisk," Zerina bowed lightly, "My two friends and I were wondering around the school. We stumbled upon this place,"

"*How is it that you understand me, yet do not speak the noble tongue?*" The basilisk wasn't attack which Zerina was thankful for.

"I weaved my magic into a spell that would allow us to understand each other," Zerina answered while mentally hoping the basilisk wouldn't be angry.

The basilisk hissed lightly though not in anger, but in curiosity, "*What are you? Be you mage?"

"I am a Summoner," Zerina watched the basilisk draw closer to her and flicked her long tongue towards Zerina.

"*The scent of Summoner is something that has been missing since Salazar placed me down here,*" So she was placed down here by Salazar Slytherin.

Zerina would definitely be summoning Solaris to get some answers soon enough, "It must be lonely down here."

The basilisk nodded, "*It is. I wish that I could go free, but Salazar left no way to exit this place. I did not mind when I was young, but I'm much too big now.*"

Zerina contemplated her answer, "If I could get you out of here, would you be willing to go into the summon plane? I'm sure the summons would like you."

The basilisk was silent except for the odd hiss before replying, "*That would be preferable. How will you get me out of here?*"

"I'll summon someone," Zerina concentrated on Solaris' crystal and hoped he would answer her, "From the fires of the sun, I call to you. Soar down for the sun, Solaris!"

The phoenix appeared in classical summon fashion though he was bigger than before. Zerina thought judge that he was twice the size he had been before, but she could be wrong. Solaris looked at her, "Why have you summoned me?"

"The basilisk here needs to be taken out of the school since I doubt the children actually need a basilisk guarding them," Zerina answered earning a nod as Solaris turned towards the children, "Would you mind taking her to the snake part of the summoning plane or to Gaia's part?"

"Of course," Solaris flew towards the snake and trilled at her.

The snake hissed back, "*That seems fair.*"

Solaris disappeared with the basilisk before Zerina could ask what he had said. Luffy walked out from behind the statue, "What just happened?"

"The basilisk is now in the summoning plane," Zerina answered while shaking her head, "I figured that since she'd been trapped down here for at least a thousand years that she deserved a little freedom,"

"A thousand years alone?" Luffy grimaced at the thought, "That's doesn't sound pleasant,"

"We should probably find Zoro and get out of here," Zerina suggested, "I'm pretty sure it'll be time for dinner soon and I desperately need a shower,"

"Right," Luffy looked around, "Where'd he go?"

Zerina shrugged while trying not to groan, "I dunno, but we best get started."

~Training room, Hearts Pirates Sub/Ship, Black Lake, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~

"...And Solaris came back after dropping the basilisk, who's name I now know is Shireen, off with Gaia," Zerina ducked under the slash Law aimed for her head while kicking out a him, "Solaris helped us find Zoro and we fire traveled onto the Thousand Sunny to drop of the boys before Solaris took me to our room in the castle," Law blocked the kick and grabbed Zerina leg before tugging her towards him, "And that's why I ended up appearing with Solaris while covered in enough grime to make the Lower city of Dracia on Curium to look clean,"

Zerina grunted as she twisted out of Law's grip and kicked Kikoku out of his grip. Law quickly tried to grab her as he replied, "You always end up in weird situations just like Strawhat-ya."

"Maybe I should join up with him," Zerina tried to trip him up only for him jump over her legs, "I'd probably have a lot more fun,"

"How about no," Law suggested with a growl in his voice as he did what she had just tried to do only to succeed.

Zerina grunted as her back hit the ground and Law quickly pinned her down. She tried to find some form of leverage only for Law to cover her body with his. Conceding defeat, Zerina panted softly, "I guess you win."

Law replied by pulling her into a searing kiss. Law's head tilted as he licked at the seam of her lips. Humming softly in reply, Zerina obediently opened her mouth and let Law's tongue in. As he started up a game, Zerina moaned softly as Law shifted slightly which allowed her to feel his erection through their clothing. When air became a problem, Zerina broke to kiss to turn her head which Law used to his advantage to press his lips to Zerina's ear and huskily murmur, "I think we'll go to our room and I'll do whatever I damn well please as a reward for winning."

Zerina shivered before moaning softly as Law nipped as the sensitive shell of her ear, "I don't have a problem with that."

"Good," Law got off of her which allowed Zerina to sit up.
