Chapter Twenty~Eight: The Ball
Aka: A chapter that was a long time coming and an holiday special at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!
~Dinning Room, Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England, 1994~
"Are you ready for the ball, dear?" Narcissa asked her husband as they sat together for an early lunch.
"Yes," Lucius looked up from the papers he was working on, "I will be putting on my dress robes soon enough. What did Draco wish to say?"
Narcissa took a sip of her tea before answering, "He will be happy to see us there and has managed to achieve a higher level with his water magic."
Lucius smiled upon hearing that, "It won't be long until he surpasses me with how much he's managed to achieve so far."
"He's also started working on his fire magic though he is only spending time meditating with it," Narcissa continued, "The teacher his group has gotten put a lot of emphasis on meditation,"
Lucius frowned lightly, "I wonder why. I know that it is important when one is beginning their elemental training, but Draco is past the point that he needs it."
Narcissa sighed softly, "We'll have to ask him who his teacher is. I wonder why he's never said anything about them."
"Perhaps they wished to have some secrecy or he might fear that his letters are being monitored," Lucius tried to figure it out, "It wouldn't be the first time,"
Narcissa shook her head, "We should wait to speak with Draco. Just guessing won't help us figure it out, we both still have a lot to do to get ready for the ball."
~ Entrance Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
McGonagall checked another thing off her list as she observed the decorations being set up. Flitwick walked right beside her with his own check list. McGonagall paused as she saw Severus walk towards her, "Severus? Is something wrong?"
"Yes," The man seemed slightly irritated, "The potion that Weasley needs is impossible to create as I lack certain ingredients that are illegal,"
McGonagall frowned at that, "There are no substitutes?"
"No," Snape took a deep breath, "Is the Potter brat and her group coming tonight?"
"Zerina hasn't sent anything to say that they aren't, so we'll have to assume they'll be coming," McGonagall informed him.
Just as Snape went to speak, a house elf appeared, "Professor Minnie?"
"Yes Toffey?" McGonagall hoped that there weren't any problems with the gardens that they'd set up for the ball.
"Missy Zeriny is floo calling you," Toffey answered earning a light sigh.
"I'll be in my office in a few moments," McGonagall looked at Flitwick, "Please continue on. I should only be gone for thirty minutes or so," She then looked at Severus, "Get your snakes ready for the ball if nothing else can be done,"
With that, McGonagall headed up to her temporary office.
~Headmaster's office, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
McGonagall greeted the Summoner, "Hello Zerina."
"Professor McGonagall," Zerina grinned at the Professor, "This is a rather odd way of communication,"
McGonagall laughed softly, "I suppose. Who taught you how to use it?"
"The goblins showed us when they came to connect the Den to the Floo Network," Zerina explained, "Now, I was calling to ask if those of us who are going to the ball can get ready here. Magical travel has thus far proven to be very...unpleasant and I'd rather our clothes not suffer right before a big event,"
McGonagall thought about it before nodding, "Of course, I assume you'll be traveling by floo with your group."
"Yes. Will we be able to use your office as our landing point?" Zerina asked earning a nod, "Good. How much time do you think it will take to figure out where to put us as well as to get ready for such a big group?"
McGonagall made the calculations, "About thirty minutes, is that alright with you?"
"That should be enough time to get everyone together," Zerina paused and turned her head slightly before looking back at McGonagall, "By the way, is Luna allowed to go or not?"
"As Ms. Lovegood is in her third year, she cannot go," McGonagall replied earning a slight nod.
"Thought so," Zerina grinned up at her, "I'll be going now. See you in thirty minutes,"
"See you then," McGonagall watched her head disappear and the fire return to normal, "Now to get that set up along with everything else. Damn you Albus for meddling and getting yourself killed,"
~Headmaster's office, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina was the first through the floo and looked decidedly green. McGonagall offered the Summoner a cup of peppermint tea which Zerina took gratefully, "Thank you."
Trafalgar came through next and offered McGonagall a nod while looking over Zerina, "Everything alright?"
Zerina hummed softly in reply while taking a small sip of the tea in her hands. The others arrived soon after and Flitwick showed up to show them to the rooms they were being given for the night. Zerina and Trafalgar stayed earning a raised eyebrow from McGonagall, "Is there something I can help you with?"
"Have you made sure that the house elves know of Zerina-ya's condition?" Law asked earning a nod from McGonagall.
"I've spoken with them over the last week or so," She'd made sure of that, "If you wish, I will speak to them once more,"
Zerina spoke up this time as she set the tea cup down, "Thank you, Professor."
"Now," McGonagall stood up, "We should get you both to the guest area. Will you be leaving after the ball or staying the night?"
Zerina stood up from the chair she'd claimed and Law wrapped his arm around her waist as he replied, "We would prefer to leave as soon as we're ready to go."
Zerina grinned as she said, "I do believe that some of our companions might choose to stay the night either voluntarily or because they pass out."
McGonagall normally would have questioned that statement, but she'd learn that somethings weren't to be questioned when pirates were involved. Inclining her head lightly as they left her temporary office, McGonagall replied, "I'll inform the elves and make sure the Professors know. Inform me when you're leaving, I'll have one of the other floo connections opened for your use."

Hermione tried to keep her head from moving as Tracy pulled another brush through it. The girl sighed softly, "How do you manage to deal with this mop of hair?"
"Experience and my mother never allowing me to cut it," Hermione replied while her eyes drifted over to where Ginny was helping Astoria get ready for the ball, "I'm surprised Astoria is letting Draco take her to the ball,"
"It was either Draco or Blaise," Tracy informed her with a crooked smile, "Seeing as Blaise won't dance unless you make him, Astoria chose the one that would,"
Hermione let out a small laugh before sighing, "How do you think Luna is?"
"I think she's doing good," Tracy hummed lightly as she placed the brush down and carefully began braiding Hermione's hair, "We did get that letter a few days back and I didn't see any distress in her words,"
"Still," Hermione couldn't stop herself from worrying, "What if she's hiding it from us? She's done it before when one of her visions was particularly bad,"
Tracy sighed deeply, "Look, you can worry about her all you want, but you won't get answers that way. Ask Zerina when you get the chance. They're supposed to be here tonight."
Hermione was about to nod when Tracy tugged on her hair sharply, "I will."
"Now," Tracy grinned wickedly in the mirror at her, "I do believe that I'm supposed to be making you sexy enough to make everyone's jaw drop,"
~Guest rooms, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina grinned at Nami as the orangette gasped, "Where the hell did you get that?"
"The White Stage jewelry store in Diagon Alley," Zerina informed her while smiling down at the necklace on her neck, "It's a jewelry store run by vampires,"
"That explains why it's so well made," Nami reached out, "It's so pretty!"
"And Law bought it for me as a gift which means no you can't 'borrow' it," Zerina was well aware what the look in the navigators eyes meant and wasn't going to allow her to steal something Law had bought her.
She rarely if ever allowed Law to buy her anything, so the few things he gifted her were guarded with jealousy. Nami pouted softly as the piece was truly beautiful though she admitted that it looked perfect on Zerina and matched her dress. The golden chain fell to just above Zerina's cleavage. A ruby kitsune gripped the necklace with it's tails while holding an obsidian ball in it's paws. A pair of matching ruby kitsunes gripped Zerina's ears with a similar obsidian ball hanging from her ears. All in all, they fitted Zerina and her dress to a T. Zerina slipped on the flats that she'd chosen to wear earning a raised eyebrow from Nami, "Zerina shouldn't you be wearing heels?"
"In case of a fight, I'd rather not be wearing something that makes running hard," Zerina had never gotten used to fighting in heels and never really wanted to, "The only heels I own don't match the dress at all,"
"Point," Nami was slightly surprised that Zerina actually had the sense to figure that out before shrugging it off, "Where's your chain?"
Zerina grinned slightly and moved her sash revealing the silver chain, "I always have it on me."
"It looks smaller and more delicate than usual," Robin noted with a slight frown, "How is that possible?"
"The chain can appear as big or as small as the Summoner wishes it," Zerina explained while readjusting her sash before making sure the knives she had hidden on her body were secure, "I normally don't both with changing it's size, but for this, I decided to make it somewhat more feminine as well as easier to hide," Zerina then smirked at them in a decidedly mischievous way, "Sooooo, who's your date?"
~Great Staircase, Entrance Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina walked down the stairs with Nami and Robin while eyeing the crowd of pirates below. She grinned upon seeing the wide eyes they were offering her though the grin fell off her face as she spotted her Bonded. Law had decided to forgo his hat just as she had which left his spiky obsidian hair unobstructed. He wore a black suit with a white shirt and a yellow tie. A pair of black dress shoes and golden cuff links in the shape of their jolly roger completed the outfit. As she drew closer, she saw that his tie was decorated with a black version of their jolly roger. All in all, Zerina wanted to ignore the ball and jump him. Nami whistled softly, "He looks hot."
Law looked up at Zerina and felt his breath hitch. The dress she wore allowed him to trace all her slender curves and the slits on the side allowed him to view her creamy legs. The tattoos he normally only saw when she had her clothes off or decided to just wear one of his shirts were visible to him when Zerina moved in a certain way. Zerina's hair was braided in seemingly random places, but Law recognized them from their bonding ceremony. Zerina had flowers braided through her hair though he couldn't name all of them. For once, Zerina wore some makeup even if it was only on her lips. Those plump and teasing lips were decorated in the crimson red of fresh blood, Law felt his pants tighten as he muttered, "Fucking tease."
As Zerina reached the bottom of the stairs, she smiled at him and he found desire running through those darkened emerald orbs. Law was quite sure that Zerina could see the same desire in his own eyes. Law had just placed his arm around Zerina' waist when McGonagall appeared, "Please go into the great hall, we're about to start," Zerina and Law moved towards the doors with the others only for McGonagall to stop them, "Champions and their dates are supposed to be announced. Please wait out here with the other six."
When their friends had disappeared into the hall and the doors shut, Zerina turned her head and found the other champions standing there. Offering them a smile, Zerina greeted them, "It's nice to see you all again. You've been well I hope."
"Yes thank you," Cedric smiled back at her, "This is my girl friend, Cho Chang. She is a Ravenclaw student,"
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Zerina," The oriental looking girl looked slightly nervous as she glanced between Zerina and Law, "I was going to join up for potions help, but decided against it as your schedule didn't fit me,"
"I can't please everyone," Zerina replied with a slight shake of her head, "Ms. Delacour,"
"Summoner Zerina," Fleur greeted her politely while eyeing Law in interest before returning her gaze to Zerina, "It is a pleazure to see you again," She looked at her date, "This is my date, Roger Davis. 'e too is a Ravenclaw,"
Zerina grimaced slightly upon seeing small amount of drool coming from the boys mouth as he stared at his date. Smiling at Viktor, Zerina greeted the Bulgarian, "Hello again, Viktor. How are you this evening?"
"I am vell," Viktor smiled at her before looking at Law, "This your vonded, yes?"
"Yes," Zerina realized they hadn't been formally introduced, "Law this is Viktor Krum. Viktor this is Trafalgar Law,"
"A pleasure," Law eyed the male in slight interest and could immediately tell that the teen would be a good member for his crew if trained up a bit, "Zerina-ya has told me of you,"
"I hope vat I do not disappoint you," Viktor smiled good genially before introducing his slightly startled date, "Vis is Blaise Zabini. I assume vat you know him?"
"Yes he's one of my students," Zerina smiled at Blaise, "You've been meditating as I asked?"
"Yes as well as doing daily runs," Blaise seemed slightly disgruntled as he admitted that, "It looks like we're going in soon,"
True enough, McGonagall appeared through the door and dragged their attention to her. She fixed her glasses and looked them over, "I needn't have to remind you that not only are your peers inside, but also those that the Minister thought prudent to invite. I expect that not only the students from this school, but also your own act accordingly. Now, Trafalgar Zerina and Law you will go in first before being followed by Ms. Delacour. After Ms. Delacour, Mr. Krum will go in followed by Mr. Diggory. Wait until your announced before walking inside. Once inside, walk to the dance floor and take your positions. If you need to be reminded, you will be forming a diamond. Once all of you are positioned, you will bow and curtsy to the crowd. The music will start as you return to your standing positions and you will dance. The first round of dancing will last twenty minutes before dinner and desserts will begin. Following that, you will be allowed to do as you wish. Am I understood?"
"Yes, Professor," Everyone save for Law replied.
Law glared at the woman for the order, but didn't move as Zerina gripped his arm. She leaned against him and he noticed that she was wearing a light perfume. Law smirked slightly as he leaned down to murmur, "Your wearing orange blossom perfume?"
"Nami suggested that I try something new and I smelt it in the perfume shop she dragged me into," Zerina was blushing softly, "Do you like it?"
Law nodded with a soft chuckle, "That I do."
Before either could speak again, the doors opened and they walked forward as someone announced, "First place champion and the Girl-Who-Lived, Zerina Trafalgar and her husband Law Trafalgar."
As they walked into the Great Hall, all eyes fell on them and whispers broke out. Law smirked at the wide eyed men and women while Zerina offered them a bright grin. Soon enough, they reached the dance floor and took their place. Fleur and Roger joined them moments later. Viktor and Blaise followed quickly behind. Once Cedric got settled, they all bowed and curtsied to the crowd. As the music started, Zerina muttered, "And now I remember why I dislike dancing in public."
Women were eyeing Law like he was a piece of meat and making her hackles raise. Law chuckled as he pulled her closer and whispered, "You're the only woman I have eyes for," Zerina giggled at the corny line, "And I share your dislike."
Zerina's nose scrunched up as she noticed the looks being directed at her by the men and teenage boys, "Joy of joys. You would think the adults would at least restrain themselves."
"You barely ever do," Law reminded her with a low chuckle while spinning her to the music.
"True," She grinned at him, "But that's why you love me,"
"Too true," Law pulled her into a kiss as the song ended and another began, "Let's ignore them for now and focus on enjoying ourselves,"
Zerina hummed in agreement and allowed herself to get lost in the music.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Fudge mentally sighed in relief as the champions began to dance. He knew from McGonagall that Zerina's friends would be doing something, but thankfully they chose to wait. He shuddered to think of what chaos they would cause and hoped it would be after he'd had the chance to make more connections with the visiting purebloods. He jumped slightly as Lucius Malfoy walked up, "Minister."
"Lucius," Fudge greeted the man, "How do you like the ball so far?"
"It has been pleasant," Lucius inclined his head, "I hope that there is more,"
"But of course," Fudge swallowed slightly, "You and your wife look marvelous,"
"Why thank you, Minister," Narcissa smiled thinly, "Where is your wife?"
"She wasn't feeling well," Fudge offered the pureblood lady a nervous smile, "I couldn't force her to come when she isn't well. She sends her apologies,"
Narcissa nodded slightly, "I do hope she gets better soon. What do you think of Trafalgar's dress?"
Fudge looked at the Summoner once more and had his breath stolen. With that soft smile on her face, Zerina looked truly beautiful. A small amount of jealousy ran through him at seeing that smile directed towards her husband. He tore his gaze away, "She looks amazing in it. I dare say that she should wear more dresses."
Narcissa laughed softly, "I do agree though she did say that dresses didn't suit her when I told her that. Honestly, the girls beautiful, and yet she doesn't show that beauty off."
"Perhaps she has a reason not to," Fudge's eyes once more went to the Summoner.
"My dear," Lucius spoke to his wife, "Why don't you go find Draco? I'm sure he'd love to speak with you,"
"Of course," Narcissa kissed Lucius on the cheek, "I will see you soon,"
With that, Narcissa disappeared into the crowd in search of her son. Lucius spoke as soon as Narcissa was out of ear shot, "Beautiful isn't she?"
Fudge nodded as he tracked the Summoner's movements, "Yes. It almost makes a man wish he were younger."
Lucius smirked, "Agreed. I love Narcissa, but times like this make me wish I'd had a chance to have someone like her," Lucius looked at Zerina and Law, "It makes me wonder if she has some type of creature inheritance. It would explain the way she draws us in."
Fudge whipped his head towards Lucius upon hearing that, "Do you truly believe that?"
Lucius shrugged slightly, "It might explain a few things. If you'll excuse me, Minister. I should go find my son."
Lucius disappeared into the crowd just as his wife had and Fudge was left alone with his thoughts.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Once the music stopped and dinner was announced, the champions found their way off the dance floor and to their dining table. Law pulled out Zerina's chair and push it back in for her once she was seat. Roger fell all over himself to do the same for Fleur much to Zerina's amusement. A soft giggle left the Summoner as she commented, "Perhaps you should have picked a date that was used to your allure?"
Fleur blushed lightly, "No man is used to my allure."
"Who said it had to be a man?" Zerina grinned as Fleur spluttered at the reply.
Law shook his head, "Rina-ya as amusing as it is to see you embarrass people, we still have a long night ahead of us and plenty of time to do so later."
"I'll stop for now," Zerina sighed softly, "Why must you ruin my fun?"
"Because the true fun hasn't started just yet," Law reminded her earning a grin in reply.
"True fun?" Cedric asked with a raised eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?"
Zerina's grin widened and Law smirked surprising their companions. Zerina gestured to where their friends were, "They will make sure that this ball turns into a great party. It's going to get wild when they start."
Fleur frowned upon hearing that, "Why would they wish to do that?"
"Because we all enjoy partying and some of them will party for no apparent reason," Zerina explained as she picked up her menu and began going over the choices, "It's how things are done back home. When you're one of us, you tend to party when you get a chance unless your not a party type of person like Law,"
The other champions looked at Law as they followed Zerina's example and he shrugged, "I don't mind parties, but I just don't really enjoy them."
Zerina grinned upon seeing her favorite food on the list, "They have it!"
"Vat do vay have?" Viktor asked curiously.
"They have roasted venison with rosemary. I haven't had any since I left home," Zerina's grin widened, "They even have the special sauce to dip it in and the proper sides!" She paused then looked at Law, "Did you do this?"
"I may have mentioned it," Law smirked at her and she leaned over to kiss his cheek.
"Thank you," Zerina murmured against his cheek before returning to her seat and tapping the menu.
Her food appeared moments later along with a glass of chilled grape juice. Law smirked while feeling pleased that he had mentioned it to the elves during his time here. Viktor looked at Zerina with a slight smile, "What is your homeland like?"
"The island I grew up on had a lot of snow most of the year with a short spring and summer," Zerina explained feeling slightly happy to speak of her home island, "The island had a lot of forests though only the one around my childhood home was actually magical. When spring came, the most amazing flowers bloomed and the whole island was covered in them. Back home, my home island is known as one of the most beautiful places to go to during the spring. Many potion masters and mistresses come from my home land along with Green Mages,"
"So you really don't consider this world your home?" Cho asked earning a snort from Zerina.
"I grew up back home not in this strange land," Zerina shook her head lightly, "The only way I would ever consider this world my home is if it merged with my home," Zerina spoke to Viktor, "What is your homeland like?"
"It is very beautiful..." Viktor smiled as he began to describe his home.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina and Law decided to wait to dance once they were finished eating. Law leaned down to murmur, "You were a bit harsh with her."
"I'm getting a bit frustrated with these people and their need to think that this is home when it isn't," Zerina took a deep breath to calm herself, "I really wish to go home,"
"This world and our own will be merging soon enough," Law reminded her as Minister Fudge approached them, "Minister,"
"Mr. and Mrs. Trafalgar," Fudge greeted them, "How are you this evening?"
"As well as we can be," Zerina looked at him curiously, "Is there something that you wish to discuss with us?"
Fudge cleared his throat, "Ms. Skeeter has yet to..."
"I actually forgot about her," Zerina laughed softly before looking at Law, "I'm a bit surprised you haven't allowed her to die yet,"
"I'm almost finished with her," Law still had a few new surgeries he needed to test on a human being, "I'll be done with her in a few days,"
Fudge turned a pale green color which amused Zerina, "I'm surprised you're able to talk like that about another human being."
Zerina snorted softly, "Human or not, she is our enemy and thus must die in order to show those around us that we will not tolerate anyone trying to hurt those we love."
"It is still an extreme measure," Fudge argued while feeling his heart begin to race.
A shudder of fear ran through him at the thought of meeting the same fate as Skeeter. Zerina's soft laugh and serene smile made his stomach twist in dread while a bead of sweat formed on his forehead, "Minister, you haven't seen our extreme measures just yet. You haven't even seen what I'm capable of. If any wish to push us, we will show no mercy save for those that deserve it."
Fudge looked into Zerina's eyes and found himself dying. Zerina was laughing as a giant multi-tailed fox stood behind her and reached towards him with a claw. Sapphire blue tinted white flames danced around them as Zerina smiled cruelly at him. Fudge stumbled back a step as Law spoke, "Minister perhaps you should go lay down. You're looking a bit pale."
"P-perhaps," Fudge nodded to them, "I will see you later,"
With that, Fudge disappeared into the crowd. Zerina covered her mouth as she giggled softly and Law asked, "Was that necessary?"
Zerina turned her head towards him, "But of course, I don't want him getting any ideas. We don't need the likes of him to make things harder for us or our allies."
Law shook his head as he watched the silver in her eyes fade to reveal her emerald greens, "It's been a long time since you've done that."
"Casting illusions isn't something I enjoy for all that I'm a kitsune," Zerina shrugged lightly, "I prefer causing chaos to pulling pranks. By the way," She leaned against him, "Have you made any progress with your transformation?"
"I'm almost ready to try a full transformation," Law told her earning a nod, "You aren't surprised?"
"You're really smart, so I can't really be surprised that your moving so quickly," Zerina shrugged lightly before returning her gaze to the dance floor, "Can we dance again soon?"
Law chuckled slightly, "Do you really think complimenting me will allow you to have your way?"
Zerina looked back at him and smiled, "In this case, yes."
Law shook his head in amusement, "Fine, but only for two songs. I do wish to make some connections here."
Zerina moved and grabbed his hand before pulling him towards the dance floor.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Shanks looked between Mihawk and the woman he was talking to before asking, "Is she the one that kissed your cheek?"
Mihawk offered Shanks a deadpan look at the teasing tone while the woman giggled softly, "That I did, my name is Audrey Harris of the Nightshade Clan and you are?"
"My names Shanks," Shanks grinned at her, "So what did Hawky do to deserve that kiss?"
Audrey shook her head in amusement while commenting, "You have interesting friends, Dracule."
Mihawk offered her a nod before looking at Shanks, "Shanks perhaps you should go drink. It would be a better use of your time."
"I think I'll stay and get to know your new friend!" Shanks had high hopes that she liked Mihawk.
She had after all already caught his attention. Mihawk internally rolled his eyes as he realized that this was another one of his friends bids to get him into a relationship. Ignoring Shanks for a moment, Mihawk asked, "What brings you here, Ms. Harris?"
"My uncle sent me in his stead due to his dislike of cold areas," Audrey answered with a slight smile, "He also wished for me to find you. The sword you wield has peeked my uncle's interest. He wished for me extend an offer to visit our manor in Italy so that he may see the sword with his own eyes and see what you can do with it," Audrey offered Mihawk a grin, "It isn't often that human with skill like you pop up,"
"I will need to think about it," Mihawk was slightly interested in the offer.
He wouldn't go there without information and Zerina would most likely be able to get her hands on said information. Audrey nodded as if expecting that, "I will see to it that a physical invitation is sent to you as soon as possible. I do hope you accept as I'd rather like to see what exactly you can do without idiotic wizards attempting to hit you from behind."
Mihawk inclined his head as Shanks grinned, "So Audrey..."
The swordsman withheld a sigh as Shanks once again began to speak. While he wouldn't normally mind, the vampire had peeked his interest and he would have liked to get more information from her. It would seem that he would have to make do with whatever information Shanks managed to get.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina was pleasantly surprised by how powerful the mages of some of the foreign countries were. It would seem that she'd been wrong and there was hope for the magic in this world. She found herself mostly bored as she listened to the politicians talk and try to get on Law's good side. She was displeased at the amount of looks Law was being given and glared at each woman. While she knew that they would be attracted to Law, it still made her want to rip out their eyes. The thinly veiled insults they offered her were met with a blank stare due to her tuning them out. As another foreign minister and his companion left, Zerina asked, "How many more of these people do you want to talk to?"
Law was amused by Zerina's slightly exasperated tone. It was quite clear that she was reaching the end of her patience. Law was about to reply as an accented voice asked, "You're unamused by their feeble attempts to gain new allies as well?"
Zerina and Law turned their attention to the speak. The woman was beautiful with tanned olive skin and bright blue eyes. Her dirty blonde hair fell in loose waves down to her waist. She wore a grey dress that fell to just above her knees and had no sleeves. Zerina's eyes widen as she noticed the snake-like armlet that the woman was wearing. The snakes mouth held a crimson orb with golden wings. Law was slightly surprised to feel Zerina go tense, "Rina-ya?"
"You recognize the symbol of my house?" The woman brushed her light blue nails across the serpent.
"It is hard not to," Zerina swallowed slightly as she struggled to keep her composure, "Only a fool wouldn't know the crest of Horizon,"
"It has been a long time since a Summoner has been in this world," The woman commented as she smirked at Zerina, "You have nothing to fear of me, Little Summoner. I will not harm you or yours,"
Zerina offered the woman a tense smile, "Forgive me if I find that hard to believe, your clan's history and your own is hard to ignore."
The woman let out a soft laugh, "You're smart. I can see why she chose you."
"Who are you?" Law's eyes narrowed into a glare as he pulled Zerina close to him.
"Ask your little bonded," The woman looked at Zerina, "I look forward to see what you can do, Little Summoner. Do not disappoint me,"
With that, the woman disappeared into the crowd. Zerina immediatly began pulling Law towards the entrance to the flower garden, "Please wait until we're outside and somewhere secluded before asking me anything."
~Flower garden, Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina slumped against the bench they'd found and Law asked, "What just happened?"
Zerina took a deep breath before speaking, "We just encountered someone more powerful than I even want to think about."
"Rina-ya," Law settled next to her, "Please explain,"
Zerina tried to get her thoughts straight as she began her explanation, "The woman we just met is a member of the Horizon clan. The Horizon clan are known as the keepers of the Balance. She is Octavia and she's the eight member of the Horizon clan."
"What is the Horizon clan?" Law was being patient with her as he could tell how shaken up she was about the whole encounter.
It was unsettling to see Zerina disturbed like that as it meant something serious had happened. Zerina took another deep breath, "The Horizon clan was created by Gaia to keep the balance however they see fit. In total, the Horizon clan has twenty members and each keep one part of the balance in the world. They help create chaos if it's needed. In short, they help people make progress. In fact, they're the ones that actually got the World Government started," Law jerked and stared at her in shock, "Only ten members are active at a time though I suppose that's because the other half are here," Zerina shook her head to clear it of stray thoughts, "They're basically immortal though when they do die, they are immediatly reincarnated with their memories intact."
"Why did Gaia create them?" Law couldn't believe that such a thing could exist.
Zerina shrugged slightly, "I don't know and I doubt we'll ever get the true answer."
"You're scared," Law realized as he noticed her shaking slightly and how pale she was.
Zerina nodded as she scooted close to him, "The fact that a member of that clan is here, that she is here, scares the hell out of me. If the Horizon is involved, I know something big is going to happen and it won't necessarily be good."
"Why does Octavia scare you?" Law asked making Zerina shudder and press against him.
He could feel her shivering slightly as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. She huddled against him and pressed her nose into the crook of his neck, "She's known as the worst of the Horizon. If given the chance, she will systematically slaughter an entire people until no one is left. She will spare no man, woman, or child if given half a chance. If it hadn't been for her brother, the Summoner's would have been wiped out years ago."
Law's eyes widen and he gripped Zerina closer, "What is she doing here without him then?"
Zerina shook her head, "I do not know. I don't want to know. I just wish she wasn't here."
"How did she nearly wipe out the Summoner's?" Law asked her softly.
Zerina pressed closer to him, "If she wishes it, she need only to touch you and she'd have complete control over you."
Law ran his fingers down Zerina's back as he mentally growled at the thought of another being with the power to turn someone into their puppet, "Is there any way to get rid of her?"
Zerina shook her head, "She's the hardest one to kill and won't die unless her brother dies. She won't leave until she's finished her business her."
Law mentally growled before asking, "Do you want to leave?"
"Not just yet," Zerina pulled back and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Even if she's here, I still want to dance with you for a little while longer,"
Law chuckled softly, "Alright, but tell me if you want to leave."
Zerina nodded as she felt the gaping void Octavia created disappear from the grounds, "I think she's gone."
"How do you know?" Law asked curiously as Zerina slowly started getting off of him.
"Octavia's presence is like a gaping void to my senses and it had disappeared completely," Zerina was already feeling better with her gone, "Let's go dance and try to forget what just happened did, I at least want to ignore it for the rest of the night,"
Law nodded while still feeling Zerina's tension though it eased slightly, "Alright."
~Hidden manor, Italy, 1994~
"You're late," A fair haired man with piercing crimson eyes said.
Octavia smirked at him as she walked down the path towards the manor, "I had to meet the ones that she finds interesting."
"And what did you think?" The man moved beside her as silent as the wind.
Octavia's smirk turned into a smile, "I like them. The Summoner is interesting in and not stupid as her forefathers were. The man she chose is intelligent and careful. I think that they'll be worth watching and will make it so we don't have to interfere."
"Meaning?" The man questioned with narrowed eyes.
"The magic conclave in England is safe from me for now," Octavia looked at her companion, "Do not worry brother, I will not eradicate all of them should we need to get involved. I'm more amused than anything by the situation,"
"What about the man you touched?" Her brother eyed his sister carefully.
"I think I'll keep him for now. After all," She grinned as they reached the door of the manor, "We may have to get involved if that snake isn't taken care of,"
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Hermione looked around feeling slightly nervous, "Hermione, what's wrong?"
"I think Zerina's friends are going to do something," Hermione informed Ginny while eyeing the crowd around them, "I just have the feeling that they're going to pull something,"
"True," Ginny grinned at Hermione, "It'll make this boring ball fun!" Ginny nudged her, "Hermione, you need to relax and maybe having some fun will help that along," Hermione noticed the worry in Ginny's eyes, "You've been exhausting yourself,"
Hermione went through the last few weeks and realized that Ginny was right. With a sigh, Hermione admitted, "Perhaps some fun will help."
Just as she said that, the band on the stage suddenly began playing an entirely diffrent song than the waltz it had been in the middle of. The tune was jaunty and reminded Hermione of the pirate songs her dad used to sing when they were setting up for Halloween. A voice suddenly shouted over the silent crowd, "Alright you guys, it's time to kick this ball up a notch and party our asses off!"
Ginny grinned largely, "You heard him, Hermione! Let's party!"
Ginny dragged her towards the dance floor where Luffy and a few members of his crew were dancing around. Hermione shook her head and decided that, while this wasn't what she'd meant, she would try to enjoy it.
~Great Hall, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1994~
Zerina was giggling as they passed another group of drunk people. It seemed that most of the drinks being offered at the refreshment table the elves had set up at some point earlier in the evening had been spiked by someone. Zerina was willing to bet Shanks had done it. The music changing had Aki's magic written all over it and Luffy had most likely put him up to it. The spell prompting everyone to dance during the first forty-five minutes had Vultan written all over it though Zerina was willing to bet he did so unprompted. It was a well known fact that the man enjoyed a good dance party once in awhile. Zerina spotted Aki being held against Vultan's chest as they danced to a slightly slow song. She smiled softly upon seeing the content look on their faces, "Have I mentioned that this was a good idea?"
"No," Law looked at where she was staring and snorted softly, "I suppose that's one of your reasons?"
Zerina glanced at him and saw where his gaze was directed before nodding, "Yeah. Even with her showing up, I really think tonight was a goodnight."
Law scanned the crowd and spotted McGonagall as he replied, "It wasn't a bad night though I do wish Horizon-ya hadn't shown up. I dislike seeing you scared."
Zerina moved closer to him and pressed a kiss to his cheek in reply. As they reached McGonagall, the Professor looked at them curiously, "Leaving already?"
"It's around 11," Zerina informed her.
The Professor looked surprised before nodding, "Right. Follow me."
The Professor led them into a rather small office, "This is where I leave you, I hope you enjoyed yourselves."
"We did," Zerina informed her with a small smile, "Thank you for this,"
"It's no trouble," McGonagall returned her smile, "Good night,"
"Good night," They replied before disappearing through the floo.
McGonagall sighed deeply. If there was a time that she was reminded of Lily and James, it was tonight. Seeing Zerina in that dress, it was plain to see that she took after Lily in looks. Seeing her standing next to Trafalgar, it was like looking at Lily and James all over again. If she had to describe them, Zerina was like James personality wise and Trafalgar was like Lily only with a sadistic edge that the woman had only see when the red head was pissed off. It hurt a little, but it also reminded that for all the differences Zerina had from her parents, the woman was still their child. McGonagall murmured softly into the open air, "I wish you two could have been here to see her. I truly wonder what you would say."
With a shake of her head, McGonagall left the room and her memories of the past for the night. She still had an hour until she had to break up the ball after all.
~Master bedroom, Fourth Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1994~
As soon as the door shut behind them, Law had Zerina pinned against it as he claimed her lips. Zerina moaned softly as he licked her bottom lip and opened her mouth eagerly. Law slipped a hand behind her neck and pulled her closer to him. Zerina willingly tilted her head to allow him to deepen the kiss. Her fingers found their way into his hair and she tugged on it earning a low growl. In reply, Law nipped her bottom lip before gently sucking on it earning a soft moan. When air became an issue, Law pulled back before he began to kiss his way down Zerina's neck. Zerina's breath hitched as he began to suck on her sweet spot, "Law."
The possessive look she got in return showed her just how bothered he was by tonight. He pressed himself firmly against her as he growled against her neck, "I hated seeing all those men stare at you like that. No one should be able to do that but me."
Zerina let out a breathless laugh, "I hated seeing the look on those bitches faces when they looked at you."
Law groaned softly revealing just what he thought when hearing her say that. Clothes were taken off as well as jewelry as soon as possible. Neither had much patience for foreplay as both wished to remind the other of their claim. Tonight had worn on them and reminded both of how possessive they were.

Alright guys this next section is a small gift thing for Halloween. It's a bit late, but I wasn't finished writing the chapter on Halloween day.
Zerina glared at the old castle that the group was walking towards, "Why are we going in there again?"
"Because it's Halloween and the best party in town is up there," Shachi grinned at her.
"Yeah just think of the hot babes in super revealing costumes!" Penguin crowed earning a scowl from Zerina.
Zerina snorted softly, "I still say we could have just had a horror movie marathon at my place."
Shachi shook his head, "But we do that every year. We want this year to be diffrent."
Zerina sighed softly, "Why did I agree to this?"
"Because you wanted to see who owns the place just like everyone else," Bepo said as he walked next to her, "It's the first year we're all old enough to go,"
"Plus, we all want to see what the big prize is at midnight," Nami pipped up from behind them, "I hope it's money,"
Zerina sighed again and stared up at the old castle feeling her stomach drop a bit, "I still think this is a bad idea."
She remembered the rumors of people dying in that place. Just the thought of being there made her want to go back home, the castle just screamed creepy as fuck.
The man at the door stood taller than all of them. The man peered down at them, "You're here for the party?"
"Yup," Shachi grinned at him, "We're all finally old enough, Jean Bart,"
Zerina elbowed Shachi in the back as the door was opened for them, "How do you know him?"
"He's a bouncer at the bar Penguin and I got to sometimes," Shachi said earning a nod from Penguin, "I never knew he worked for the family that owns this place,"
Zerina eyed the mass of bodies crowding the huge Gothic style ballroom warily. It was only ten and people were already beginning to get drunk. She almost jumped as a voice came from behind her, "Parties like this aren't your style, either?"
Zerina turned around and swallowed as she noticed took in the man that spoke to her. She'd never seen anyone like him before. He oozed a air of confidence and power that only enhanced his handsomeness. He wore a black suit with a red tie. Zerina realized that she hadn't replied to the question and blushed slightly, "No, I usually avoid them unless my friends drag me to them, but that's what friends do."
"Perhaps," The man chuckled softly making Zerina shiver slightly, "I do have to say that the kitsune costume is quite well done,"
"Thank you," Zerina's small blush increased at the compliment, "I made it myself. The tails and ears were the worst part," Zerina inwardly shook herself, "How did you know I was a kitsune?"
"I enjoy reading various myths and legends in my free time," The man informed her earning a small smile, "Do you enjoy them?"
"Yes though I mostly focus on the eastern ones as they have the most interesting creatures in my opinion," Zerina glanced back at the crowd as she heard someone call her name.
Bepo appeared a few moments later, "Zerina there you are."
"Hey Bepo," Zerina greeted him, "You were looking for me?"
"I didn't want to leave you alone, sorry," Bepo blushed lightly and looked away.
"You don't have to worry," Bepo was always watching out for her.
Bepo shook his head before looking at the man, "Who're you?"
The man smirked at Bepo, "I'm Trafalgar Law."
Bepo's eyes narrowed before he looked back at Zerina as she said, "Bepo you should go back and enjoy the party."
"Will you be okay?" Bepo wasn't willing to leave Zerina alone with a stranger even if she could take care of herself.
"I'll be okay," Zerina assure him with a fond smile, "I'll meet up with you at Midnight like we planned,"
"Fine," Bepo glared at the man, "If you hurt her, I'll kill you,"
Bepo hugged her briefly before disappearing into the crowd. Zerina offered Law an apologetic look, "Sorry, Bepo's really protective about me."
"It's fine since friends tend to be that way," Law waved off her apology.
"Bepo's more like a brother to me," Zerina rubbed the back of her neck.
She winced as the volume in the room picked up as the song changed. Law saw the wince and suggested, "Perhaps you'd like to go somewhere else?"
Zerina looked at him in surprise at the suggestion, "Aren't the other rooms in this place off-limits?"
"Not if my family is the one that owns this place," Law chuckled at her wide eyed look, "Surprised,"
"A bit," Zerina shook her head lightly, "If you're offering, I guess I wouldn't mind it,"
Law took her hand in his and guided her from the room. Zerina was slightly surprised by how cold his hand felt, but brushed it off as it was really cold tonight.
Zerina stared at the large amount of artifacts in the room Law had taken her to. The music from downstairs was muffled to a soft hum as Law shut the door behind them. Zerina moved towards the wall filled with various swords, "Where did all these come from?"
Law informed her as he walked up behind her, "My family has been around for a while and has traveled all over the world, so we have quite a few artifacts from various points in history. This," Law smirked as she turned to him, "Is just a drop in the pond."
"Why bring me in here?" Zerina asked curiously as she turned back to the swords.
"I thought you'd like it," Law replied as Zerina moved towards the cases filled with various items, "You like myths and legends, so I thought you'd like being in a room filled with objects with stories attached to them,"
Zerina let out a small laugh and shook her head, "That's not what I meant. Why did you bring a stranger that you only met not even ten minutes ago into a room filled with priceless artifacts? People don't really do that anymore these days."
Law was silent for a little while making Zerina wonder if she'd offended the grey eyed man. When he spoke, Zerina turned to him in surprise at the topic, "Do you believe in fate?"
"Fate?" Zerina hummed softly, "I suppose it exists, but I don't believe it's set in stone. If it was, the world would probably be a very diffrent place,"
Law chuckled softly, "You sound just like her."
"Who?" Zerina looked at him in confusion.
"Someone very dear to me that died a very long time ago," Law said making her freeze as he continued to talk, "She said the same exact thing," He walked towards her and Zerina found herself back up, "You look just like her. The hair, the eyes, and the facial features match. You look like you could be her twin," Something inside of her began screaming at her that this man was dangerous, "You even have the same name as her,"
"S-so what?" Zerina almost squeaked as her back hit the wall.
"She told me that we would meet again though our situations would be reversed," Law moved towards her until his chest was almost touching her and she could see the silvery glow emanating from his eyes, "She told me that as she lay dying in my arms," He reached out and cupped her cheek, "I can smell her scent on you and I have no doubt her blood flows through your veins,"
Zerina tried to move, but found herself frozen as she stared into his eyes. Zerina found her voice as she struggled against whatever it was that held her still, "What do you want from me?"
"I wish to see if you are really her coming back to me," Law tilted her head, "I'm going to drink your blood and turn you,"
"W-what if I'm not her?" Zerina felt his breath against her neck and shivered.
"Even if you aren't, I still need a companion to keep me company in this long existence of mine," He licked her neck lightly and Zerina found her heart beginning to beat faster than before, "Being a vampire is boring without others to keep you company," He nuzzled her neck and pulled her close, "You'll learn that soon enough,"
Zerina found the ability to move, but it was stopped as Law's arms curled around her like iron bars, "Let me go."
"No," Law licked her neck once more before she felt the brush of two sharp points being dragged against her neck, "It will hurt for a few moments then you'll only feel pleasure,"
Before Zerina could protest, Law sank his fangs into her skin. Zerina cried out as fire seemed to leap from those two points. Law moaned softly against her neck as she began to feel weak. Zerina found herself gripping Law as sparks of pleasure began to run down her spin. Zerina's eyes began to close as wave upon wave of pleasure crashed through her and a fog enveloped her mind. Warmth coiled in her stomach and she felt the need to be touched. It increased as the moments passed and she let out a small whimper as she pressed closer to the man holding her against him. Law detached from her neck and licked his lips as Zerina's eyes opened. She found herself murmuring, "Please."
Law chuckled as he picked her up, "Of course, my dear."
The world blurred around them before Law set her down on a soft surface. He kissed her gently and Zerina tasted the matalic blood lingering on his lips. She would normally be disgusted, but something in her called to the taste and the pleasurable haze Law had forced her into made her want to taste more. She barely noticed as he took off her costume. She let out a small whine, "Please."
Zerina didn't know what she was asking him to do, but she wanted him to do it as soon as possible. He settled over her with a knee between her legs and pressed a kiss to her lips before moving down to her neck. She tilted her head and moaned as he licked at the marks left by his fangs. He chuckled against her neck before moving down to her breasts. As he pressed his lips to one, he teased the other with his hands. Zerina let out a small whine after he'd switched up and he chuckled again, "Eager."
"Please," Zerina begged him softly.
He kissed her collar bone before laying a trail of butterfly kissed down to her core. He held her legs open as he gazed down at her. A soft blush decorated her features as she panted softly. Law leaned down and pressed a kiss to her chit. Zerina jolted as her breath hitched and Law began to suck on her chit. He dipped his fingers into her core and almost groaned at how tight she felt. Law nipped at her chit earning a loud moan and smirked up at the half lidded eyes staring into his own with lust darkening the emerald orbs. Under his ministrations, Zerina soon came around his fingers. Law left the bed briefly to get rid of his clothes before settling his body over hers. He kissed her deeply as he positioned himself at her entrance, "Your mine and only mine."
Law slid into her and almost groaned as he realized that he was her first. Zerina whimpered softly as a few tears leaked out her eyes and Law licked them away. He kissed her gently as he struggled to keep himself still. The haze over Zerina's mind disappeared a little upon feeling the sharp pain and she murmured, "You're a fucking bastard."
"I'm aware," He chuckled softly, "You've told me that many times before, my dear,"
Law began to move and the haze once again entrapped Zerina's mind. It wasn't long until he had her moaning softly making him smirk. As she was approaching her second orgasm, Law moved his neck until Zerina's mouth was hovering just under it. When she came, Zerina mouth latched onto his neck and her teeth broke skin from the force of her bite. Law let out a low moan as the pain faded and he felt her feeding from him. Law sped up his pace and soon came. When he'd emptied his load, he carefully detached her from his neck and moved off of her. Zerina's eyes were closed and her heart was slowing down. He laid on his side and stared down at her for a little while. When she awakened, he'd hoped to hell that he was right and he would no longer have to search for his mate.
Law had just gotten them both dressed as Zerina's eyes snapped open and she took a deep breath. Law's breath hitched as those emerald green eyes focused on him and a smile formed on her rose petal lips, "My love, it's been a long time."
"Zerina-ya," Law pulled her to him and pressed his nose into his hair, "You're back,"
Zerina hummed softly, "That I am. I hope I didn't make you wait too long."
"Two centuries," Law murmured softly, "But it doesn't matter so long as you promise to stay with me,"
"I will," Zerina promised, "What time is it?"
"It's nearly midnight," Law informed her, "Why?"
"You have guests and a prize to attend to," Zerina reminded him with a soft giggle, "I need to find my friends and ease their worries,"
Law sighed deeply, "I'd rather keep you in this room and ignore everything."
"But you can't," Zerina pressed a kiss to the underside of his jaw.
Law and Zerina got off the bed. Zerina noticed that she was wearing her costume once more and smiled at Law. He chuckled as he moved towards the door with her hand in his, "I figured you'd rather be dressed in that than anything else."
"I did put a lot of work into it," Zerina and Law moved through the halls silently, "Did you notice anything about my friends?"
Law looked down at her and saw the mischief in her eyes, "Are they-"
"Yes," Zerina hummed softly as they moved down the steps and the music from ballroom, "Those we lost during the war of the clans are back once more,"
"The council will be breathing fire of this," Law mused with amusement.
"Of course they will," Zerina giggled softly, "I'm surprised you kept this house,"
"It was your favorite and the place we first met," Law paused before they could enter the ballroom and pulled her close.
Zerina leaned against him knowing that he needed this moment. After a little while, Zerina pulled away, "You do realize that your in trouble, right? I'm kinda pissed that you did that even if it was me."
Law chuckled in amusement, "I figured I was."
"Good," Zerina grinned at him, "Then, you can't feed from me or touch me for a month,"
Law groaned softly, but knew he wouldn't be able to change her mind just now. Nodding to her, they entered the ball room. Zerina separated from him to find her friends.
Bepo hugged her, "Where the hell have you been?"
"Talking with Law," Zerina hugged him back, "He's an amazing guy,"
"Oooh," Nami grinned at her, "Do I hear a crush coming on?"
"Perhaps," Zerina smiled at her, "We may or may not being going out in two days,"
Nami squealed and tore her from Bepo's arms, "That's amazing!"
"And you said you didn't want to come here," Shachi laughed as he walked up.
Zerina stuck her tongue out at her friends as they filled the space around her. When the clock hit midnight, the music shut off and Law walked onto the stage. Zerina caught his eyes and waved with a small smile. He smirked at her in return before speaking into the mic as the crowd fell silent, "Alright everyone. It's Midnight and time to give out the prize. This year, I had each of you write your name on a piece of paper before you entered the ballroom," Jean Bart walked onto the stage carrying a large bowl filled with scraps of paper, "Now the winner of this years prize is..." A drum-roll echoed from the person playing drums as Law dipped his hand into the bowl and moved it around before withdrawing it, "Archer Zerina. Please come up onto the stage to receive your prize."
Zerina was pushed towards the stage by her friends and Law offered her a wide smirk as he held out a hand to pull her up onto the stage. As he pulled her up, Zerina whispered, "Please tell me you didn't rig the contest."
"I didn't," Law muttered her grinning down at her, "Ms. Archer as the winner of the prize. You and one guest of your choice are invited to the Silver lake ski lodge for the first two weeks of December,"
"I look forward to it," Zerina said with a slight grin.
The party ended an hour after midnight with most of her friends slowly heading back to town drunk of their asses. Law wrapped his arms around Zerina's waist and murmured, "I can't wait for our date."
"I look forward to seeing what you can do," Zerina pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Bepo get's changed first,"
"Of course," Law wasn't going to miss seeing the man's face once he realized exactly who he'd threatened.
"Be nice to my little brother," Zerina told him.
"He is my subordinate," Law reminded him only for Zerina to glare at him, "Don't worry, I would never try to harm him," Law kissed her lightly before murmuring, "I'm looking forward to seeing the world with you once more,"
"Agreed," Zerina and Law embraced once more.
End of the Halloween special. I hope you guys liked it!
