After receiving the new abilities Ruby and her entourage decided the first thing to do was to go get uniforms after McGonagall showed them the way to 'Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions' she told them she was going to catch up with another professor at the leaky cauldron and for them to find her once they were done as the fitting was going to take a while.
Heading into the shop they were greeted by a squat friendly-looking witch dressed in all mauve. Heading on in they were told to stand on a footstool whilst they were measured and fitted. Looking around she noticed another child being fitted using observe she saw:

Bio: Draco Malfoy is the scion of Lucius Malfoy Lord of the minor noble family of Malfoy. Hogwarts student. Believes you to be half-blood or muggle-born.
Processing this information she decided to introduce herself to the boy; however, she was cut off when the boy introduced himself first making sure to regal her with how important his father is and there therefore how important he is. In response to his slightly snobbish tone, she proceeded to inform him of her name and she had to admit the sight of his eyes going wide and his scramble to rectify his behaviour was quite amusing. She then assured him that it was all alright and she did not hold his behaviour against him, his father was actually quite important if what he said was true and having a governor of the school breathing down her neck would not be preferable. The boy relaxed at her assurances and she talked with him for a while about what to expect at Hogwarts until he had finished being fitted and was called by his father.
20/100 REP with Draco Malfoy - Looked upon in a favourable manner
Having finished talking with the boy she waited a few more minutes until they had finished with her measurements. Once they had she ordered the clothing required. After browsing their collection for a few minutes she decided to order a few other robes for when she was not in a class, not much different from the other school robes just slightly nicer material and different style of red; should help with the purebloods opinion of her. She had inferred that Malfoys initial snobbishness was due to her muggle clothing.

Finishing up she went and collected all of the clothing and when out of sight of the store she used her inventory to store them. Looking at her list she found that the next shop she had to go to was Flourish and Blotts a book store with a wide selection of tomes. Quickly grabbing all the required books she noticed that most of these books were skill books, she then grabbed the second set of these books. She also purchased a few books on wizarding law, a book of mind magic and a few other books of minor spells. After grabbing them all in duplicate, she went to go and pay for them.

Despite the high cost of these purchases, she found it to be worth it as she was quite wealthy and the books that she didn't absorb could and ultimately would be read which would give her even greater proficiency.
Quite suddenly after her, she had absorbed the books which she did around the corner, leaving Hemione and the professor inside, a prompt came up:
Due to the large number of spells learnt the skills system has been updated *Will be updated within 2-3 days*
Whilst the system update was odd she just rationalised it as the ability changing to better represent her skills and knowledge. On that note she decided that it was time to spend some of her skill points:

Going over these perks whilst waiting outside for the Professor and Hermione to finish she decided that she would pick the Grimm perk and the last Huntress Perk, selecting them she felt a familiar pain of her being ripping apart, luckily this proved easier than the Grimm-born perk to handle and she collected herself a few moments later. She watched as Hermione came over to her with the Professor and immediately she brought her into a bone-crushing bear hug.
'Must be the increased animal instincts'
After a few moments, she let go and listened as Hermione talked about all the books she had gotten. Quite content with this state of affairs they then went round to all the other shops that were needed and it set her back only to (55,000G / £275,000) which was quite good considering the quality that she bought them at despite the professors' protests, she had quite an amount of money and she might as well spend it on herself and Hermione to help them learn.
The only thing left was to get a wand.

Author note: So sorry about the delay. Also, I was kind of going to follow the script of Harry potter in regards to certain situations and conversations; but it would be a pain to do and I don't want this to turn out like a clone of the canon. Some things to add, I've forgotten to add how much was in the vault the last chapter so here it is 100,000 gallons which are around £300,000 from the converter I've found. Money doesn't really make sense in harry potter as a wand costs around £30 so I'm going to be raising prices a bit. Hmm, actually forget that in this story 1G is £5, 1S is £2.50 and 1K is £1/ So she has 300,000 Knuts, 120,000 Sickles or 60,00 Gallons. There that is the conversion rate I am doing. And once again the harry potter currency is weird as it is not metric and is probably not even imperial based. Sorry about that rant. So this is quite short sorry about that, I just wanted to get something out.
So onto the best part the comments.
Guest:
1)?
Merendinoemiliano:
1)Thank you
2)Interesting, I may add a breeding/creation system for the Grimm thank you for the idea.
Lowrex:
1)Thank you, it is nice to know that you like it.
2)Some interesting ideas there, I was planning to have them all reincarnate as animals, become corrupted and then evolve into having their souls back. I probably won't incorporate this into the fic as I'm not even sure if I'm going to reincarnate anyone other then Blake, Weiss and Yang. Thank you for the suggestion though.
3)Thank you
Tempace:
1)Sorry you will have to wait till the next chapter to find out about the wand.
2) No she will probably not do a lawsuit as it is more of a minor detail, but she could do it later on if something comes up. Thank you for the suggestion.
1)It will be shown when I update the skills next chapter.
2)No, i probably put down that the tendrils come from her eyes but I cannot remember doing so. At any rate she can use them from any bodypart not just her eyes. Sorry for the confusion.
And that is the reviews done, sorry if I've made a few mistakes when writing this, I try to correct them whenever I find them but I tend to forget details and mistakes add up over time. Thank you for reading.
