HELLO! HELLO! You know the drill by now! But if you could both follow and comment about what you liked, what you think might happen, or anything on your mind at the moment it would be great! If your going to roast please be respectable about it! Once again I hope you all enjoy this story to its fullest and tell me what you think! After finals next week I will soon be off to Winter Break, but of course I have work but with the way things are now I should still have plenty of free time! Well! Read away! And I have stated I have taken inspiration from from Pheles65's work! I have gotten permission to use some of their ideas with a twist. So...ENJOY!
There was much fanfare the day of the first task, so much so that Ritsuka walked calmly down the corridors as teachers began to yell and berate students for making so much racket.
He smiled as he saw the people outside near the sports pitch, transforming the area into...something.
"It's not too late to have information now, make a plan," Arthur murmured as he came beside him. "I have the file with me."
"I would rather not," Ritsuka sighed. "Besides, it's best that I go in blind anyways. It reminds me of the good old days."
'Your not that old yet master," Arthur sighed as the other laughed. "What will you wear? The combat suit?"
"Maybe," he hummed.
"The first task is within the next few hours," Arthur sighed as he turned to his master who merely smiled. "Master you really must stop with the gun ho behavior!"
"Haha! Not much use in this place anyways, with all this extra time to plan," he gave a 'pooh' look before straightening up. "Any news on the bets?"
"Hmm-OH! Yes, Shirou has proposed to Semiramis and they have decided to marry once this is all over with."
"What about Fran and Mordred, have they started dating yet?"
"I'm afraid Moriarty is attempting to get Jekyll and Mordred together despite the Assassin's interest in...well I should say that Calamity Jane is interested in him," he laughed. "She thinks that wearing less is going to get him more interested."
'He blushes at the simple thought of an Onsen. Jane is trying too hard," Ritsuka huffed with an affectionate eye roll.
"Well...yes," Arthur nodded as he turned to look at the students behind them. "Caster also informed me that readings in the magical forest have spiked in the last few days."
"A response to us?"
"No, it seems that there are servant readings," Arthur sighed, Ritsuka turning to him with a critical eye. "Though there seems to be nothing on the Champions as of late. It seems as if no command seals have manifested on them. Our spies have confirmed and Hogwarts is attempting to do more than lead us. It's attempting to communicate."
"Like...form a physical body?"
"Hogwarts wants to...get proactive in helping us," he smiled as the scent of cinnamon began to fill the air.
"Well," Ritsuka smiled. "We'll be waiting," he gently placed a hand on the stone and smiled at the thrumming underneath his hand.
"Master," Ashiya began, the two turning to him. "Your uniform is here, I suggest you get dressed and begin preparation for the task."
"Ah, yes," he nodded before turning to head off to their rooms. "You best head to the Teachers Lounge and get ready yourselves."
"Right," they nodded, moving to head away as Ritsuka headed back to the room where a rather large chest awaited him. Smiling he kneeled down and placed a palm on the square on the top, humming as the thing scanned him and opened with a beep.
With a hum he pulled out the combat uniform that was modified to say the least. He gave a chuckle at all the skills from every Mystic Code he had available. Something fell from the clothing as he picked it up and with delicate hands he picked it up and gave a sigh.
Of course.
Hello, hello my cute master! I just wanted to inform you that you have a one shot for each of the spells associated with the Various Mystic codes you already have. Due to the nature of them all being piled on top of one another it's hard to give it more than one go! But you always have command seals in the end!
Signed, The Great Da Vinci
Annoying, but not hard to work around.
With a smile he grabbed it and examined the Mystic code, feeling sadness well up in him at the symbol of Chaldea on its back. The buckles on the waist and neck and….everything about it.
Shaking his head, he moved to put it on. The games would soon start.
LATER THAT DAY
"He's not here?"
Amos turned to his son who shrugged and turned to Harry Potter who looked nervous as the others loitered about.
"I will murder that boy if he's late," they heard the one call Caster grumbled as he cracked his neck.
"Caster," the one called Saber warned as Limbo merely smiled.
"We haven't the damn time for him to take his damned time. If he's so damn insistent on living in the past he can hustle-fuck you," he growled, turning to Umbridge who looked ready to yell back before a laugh fill the air and the fifth Champion appeared.
"Evade," Limbo hummed.
"Of course your discerning eye would figure it out sensei," he nodded, moving to remove his jacket as he drew closer. "I merely was scoping out the competition and their wares," he turned to smile at them all.
And they knew in that moment he was more dangerous than what they would be facing.
"Still, you shouldn't be in that for too long. You'll overstress your body," he sighed, motioning to his outfit. "It's still in the developmental stages and could kill you if used improperly."
"They would give that to their own director," Fleur asked as Gabbie came to see.
"I'm the only one their making it for...so why would I force others to test it out for me," he asked with a smile before it fell off as he turned to Dumbledore. "Yes," he bit out as they all jolted at the tone.
"I merely came to introduce the first task with Mr. Bagman," he assured the other as Ritsuka scoffed and waited.
"Now, since you missed your pre-task interview-"
"Count me out of doing them at all," he spoke, shaking his head. "I don't have much time to spare otherwise and any day for an interview available would be years in the future. So best save time and not bother with it."
"But the people have a right to know-" Fudge began before stopping at the cold looks the fifth team was giving. "Ahaha. We can have this conversation later. Skeeter, out."
"But-"
"He said leave," Limbo smiled vilely, "I would listen."
The champions tried to stifle their laughter as she scuttled out.
'Many thanks Limbo...now, the task?"
"First," Dumbledore began. "The wand weighing ceremony."
Well shit.
Soon the five watched as a man entered the tent, anticipating the time it would be their turn.
ON THE STANDS
"Tch...what's taking so long! I want to see brother and this stupid task," a man with green hair who sat amongst or rather between the Slytherins and Gryffindor's ground out.
"Your Ritsuka's older brother," Hermione called and soon all of Gryffindor turned to him.
'Oh, the bookish girl," he commented, leaning against the railing as his dark green hair swept in the air. "I am. And you're the one who's labeled the best in school," he commented before eyeing her. "Not one for looks are you?"
'E...excuse me!"
"Not that it matters to me in the end. I don't understand people who base everything on looks," he huffed. "Then again, I don't have much to say on that front. When I first saw him I thought he was nothing more than a stone on the side of the road for me to either pass by or kick on my whim."
"That's a rough way of thinking of things.."
"I guess," he sighed before turning to the Slytherins who regarded him with curiosity. "Tch. Can't it be less obvious?"
The Slytherins obviously had their feathers ruffled and went to protest the Muggle about what he said, Draco and Theo looking at one another and Kingu in fear as some began to speak.
"Lord Lancer," a new voice spoke as an older gentleman with dark tinted glasses appeared. "It would do well for our Director if you do not make unneeded enemies."
"Tch, shut it Captain," he sneered as Hermione whipped her head between them. "I don't want to hear anything from a lackey like you."
"A dog I may be. But I listen to orders, unlike a certain leech." He shot back as he took his spot next to the seething greenette.
'What did you call me!"
"Kakakaka. I'm sure master would agree~"
"I'm protective of him because that idiot has no self preservation," Kingu yelled, blushing at the other seemingly gave him a knowing look.
"I see, I see."
The students could only hope they didn't fight one another on the stands, with only 2 knowing how devastating it could be.
WITH THE CHAMPIONS
"And now you, young man," Ollivander said as he finished Fleur.
"I have no wand," Ritsuka smiled, hand over his heart as Limbo snatched the cigar from Waver. "I have no need for such a thing."
"Nonsense," Umbridge gasped. "All magic needs a wand to connect with our cores. You best stop lying or I will speak with your ministry-"
"Your voice makes me very...weary...Bringe deine Zunge zum Schweigen," he spoke, turning to her before smiling as her voice suddenly silenced. "Much better no?"
"It would have been better if you spoke the spell to slice that appendage in her mouth off," Limbo hummed as she stumbled back, clutching her throat. "But this is good enough."
"Please, return her voice," Dumbledore spoke as they watched her try and bring her voice back with magic.
"Hmm...fine," he sighed. "Freisetzung."
"HOW DARE YOU-"
"I was merely showing you all I have no need for a wand in any capacity...I have myself."
"Still I need to see something," Ollivander began.
"Mentor," he turned to Ashiya who nodded. "Enhance," Ritsuka spoke, the others gasping as lines began to show through his body-glowing a bright enchanting green.
"This is his...magic per say," Waver began. "It's connected with every fiber in his body via the nervous system. That's all you need to know."
"My...I've never felt anything as pure as this," Ollivander marveled before gasping as the lines went away and the boy stepped back.
"Now that that is over with...the task," he asked, smiling as the three turned murderous behind him.
"We still have to wait for two people on our part...cleared with Lucius Malfoy," Waver smirked as the tell tale signs of people approaching filled the air.
'Tch, not even done with this event yet?"
"I sense no one in need of medical attention, though it may change in the future."
"Berserker...Caster," Ritsuka turned to Nightingale and Asclepius.
"Master."
'Boy."
"The task," Ritsuka asked as he turned to the rest of them with his ever eternal smile.
"If you would all gather round and pick from the bag,'' Bagman asked. "Ms. Fleur first."
She reached into the squirming bag, unsure of what she would be getting before she felt something in her hand and pulled it out.
"Ah! The Common Green Welsh!"
Bagman moved onto Cedric who reached in with the support of his father who gripped his shoulder tight. He grabbed his dragon tight and pulled it out, unsure if he should feel relieved or worried.
"The Swedish Short Snout!"
Victor reached in without hesitation, Karkaroff nodding as the bag squirmed even more. He smiled when the dragon was revealed when he opened his hand.
"The Chinese Fireball."
Harry swallowed as he went forward, reaching into the now limp bag and yanking out his dragon after the one he went to grab bit him.
"The Hungarian Horntail...that...that leaves…" Bagman swallowed as Ritsuka came forward.
He didn't reach his hand into the bag, he simply opened his palm and smiled.
'Come now, how about you get out of the bag and show me who you are," he murmured. A cry sounded and the mini dragon flew out, coughing out some fire before circling around the hand; landing with a coo and snuggling into the palm.
"The Ukrainian Ironbelly."
"Beautiful," the fifth champion murmured before bringing the smaller dragon to his lips. "Ah...a pity that you're used for entertainment."
The mini dragon cooed and snuggled into his cheek before flying off to land on the bed that was claimed by the champion.
"I think you should focus on," soon he was corralled away from the other four, leaving Limbo in his stead to hear the rules.
"Ms. Fleur," Bagman murmured, the girl nodding as she steeled herself. On the off chance she turned to look at Ritsuka, the enigma.
He was so kind, kind the point she felt bad that she belittled him on the first day. But now….now she was scared, his eyes were not kind they were that...they were that of someone who did this for a living. She could feel him turn to look at her as she went to face on her task.
3 HOURS LATER
"So far not impressive," Ashiya murmured as the four other champions rested in their beds as the pitch was cleaned up from Mr. Potter's...rather exciting match.
Fleur had merely merely lulled the dragon to sleep with a spell that played a soothing noise. Though it seems to have a higher resistance to magic than expected and managed to get her on her legs as she ran from the nest back to the tent.
Viktor had managed to bind his dragon up with a spell, it had fallen after stumbling a bit. During that bout of stumbling it had crushed about 2 of it's eggs, going rabid when it realized what it had done before it lost its energy and lay there defeated. No doubt he was going to lose some points because of that.
Cedric transficurged a rock into a golden retriever that managed to lure his dragon away, but it took him awhile to get to the nest as a dog is often hyperactive and nearly led it to him multiple times. Unfortunately the moment he grabbed the egg, the dragon ate the dog and moved to Cedric, he ran but was almost hit by the flames of the dragon, barely getting inside the protective shield as he did so.
He was all shaky and panting as he handed the egg to his father and moved to collapse on the bed while waiting for water.
Harry…
Well what a shit show that was.
Not only had the dragon gotten loose, but it decided to fly with Harry as the boy had the oh so wonderful idea to fly away from the task and lead it to the school. Did that boy think through anything?
"Don't be mean to him," Ritsuka warned Ashiya as he and Waver finished putting down the events in the file. "Besides, it's not as if this place is a dome. It was bound to happen." He sighed, turning to the four champions who were trying to stay awake despite Ritsuka assuring them it was fine not to watch him.
"Yeah, yeah," Waver sighed. 'If this was Nero or Gilfest then something like this would have never happened."
"But it's not," Ritsuka shot back. "So drop it."
"Fine," he sighed.
"Master," Florence spoke coming back in after a missive was sent. "Muramasa wanted this to get to you before the task began."
Reaching her hand out he raised a brow at the rather beautiful blade that no doubt was a masterpiece.
"And why?"
"He said it can connect to your magic circuits," she informed him. "He said that it should help you with this task."
With a nod he took it, smiling at the feeling of something both light and heavy in his hand.
As if always was with a near perfected blade.
"NOW," They heard the announcer begin. "AFTER THAT EXPLOSIVE FOURTH CHAMPION! WE MOVE ONTO OUR FIFTH. GOING UP AGAINST THE MOST DANGEROUS DRAGON IN THE WORLD, THE UKRAINIAN IRONBELLY, THE DIRECTOR OF CHALDEA WILL HAVE TO RETRIEVE THE GOLDEN EGG FROM THE MOTHER'S NEST! ENSURING THAT NONE OF THE OTHER EGGS ARE STOLEN AND MAKING QUICKER TIME THAN THE OTHER FOUR."
"Of course you get the most dangerous," Asclepius sighed as he looked through the tablet he brought. He frowned as he looked at the data before eyeing the other four. "What a troublesome day."
"Yes, yes," Ritsuka nodded before he moved to head to the exit. "Now let's get this egg."
Everyone watched as the fifth champion walked out, humming as he looked around the now altered terrain. It looked like an open field with many hills and rock formations around, the grass wet to prevent fire as he stepped on it.
"As you all know the Ironbelly's scales are harder than muggle steel, so the best way for Mr. Fujimaru to do this is stealth."
'Or he could call a sparrow slayer," Kingu smirked to Li who chuckled.
"Indeed."
The students looked at the two in confusion before the humming became more apparent and they turned to the smiling and serene champion as began to sing a nursery rhyme by the sound.
"On Gojo-ohashi Bridge in Kyoto, a huge grown man Benkei brandishes a long halberd and aims to slash Ushiwaka," he sang as he jumped to the top of a rock pile that overlooked the dragon and her nest.
"The ballad of Gojyo bridge," Kingu huffed as the dragon caught sight of him.
It lunged at the other who merely jumped up and over the beast, smiling as he saw that his presence was not deterring the beast. With grace known only to the Minamoto clan and their disciples i.e. The Four Heavenly Kings and Himself, he landed atop another pile, smiling as he looked down to the nest that was more protected than others.
So this one was a protective sort.
Well, this was not going to be easy. With a sigh he whistled, drawing attention to him again and jumped toward the dragon as it lunged again, this time though he kicked out his foot, slamming it into the beast jaw and making it land on the ground. Everyone gasped as the announcer began to excitedly say that the dragon was down for the count, only to be wrong as it lunged up with a hateful roar and swiped at the master with its claws.
"Oh no," Hermione gasped, people screaming as they saw what happened or what would happen.
Except...
The claw landed, but it didn't move from it's spot as Ritsuka held his ground, his right side traced with lines as he enhanced and reinforced his body, legs shaking as he tried to keep his stance.
"D….DID HE STOP THAT WITH HIS OWN BODY," Hermione screeched as Kingu and Li laughed.
"Come now master! Let's get this thing started," Kingu yelled as Ritsuka's circuits exploded and pushed the claw back.
"Ushiwakamaru jumps aside, throws the fan, jumps up to the railing, and says "come on" with hands clapping," Ritsuka snag the second verse, jumping back and clapping to draw the dragon closer.
It soon became a catch the mouse game where Ritsuka would lure the dragon from place to place, sometimes he would kick it in the head, others he would let it slam into the rocks. Others he would jump top its head and force it to flail around.
'He's wearing it down," Hermione gasped. "Since it has scales like steel he's wearing it down."
"He's doing more than that," Kingu murmured, Li nodding as they watched a very loose reenactment of Ushiwakamaru and Benki's first meeting.
With a final jump in the air Ritsuka delivered a roundhouse kick to the monster's maw, sending the thing crashing to the ground.
"To the front, to the back, right and left, from here and there, he moves like a swallow and finally, "the devil Benkei" gives up."
With the ballad finished and the dragon down for the count he jumped from stone to stone, before finally dropping down to the nest and retrieving the egg. With a smile he jumped out before throwing the egg up and summoning his sword, stopping the dragon from devouring him.
"BROTHER," Kingu yelled as he caught the egg.
"I see Saber prepared for this to happen," Li said as Ritsuka pushed back with his sword, the blade caught between the dragon's canines.
"Something is wrong with that Dragon," Kingu breathed.
"It's been cursed," Ashiya spoke as Waver and he moved closer.
"I can smell magecraft on it..but not ours. It's someone else's," Waver sniffed the air again. "A rouge servant," he snarled.
"Master." Ashiya murmured.
"We can't intervene," Waver hissed as he looked to Arthur who looked tense. "You can't either."
'But-"
"Look," Ashiya pointed.
"Tch...a dark spell?"
"Ritsuka! You need to leave," Hermione yelled as the boy pushed back against the growling dragon once again.
Instead of answering his body glowed as mana filled his circuits and his eyes glowed with the worlds mana his voice echoed as he began to bark out his order.
"Watashi no chikara no meirei ni yotte! Kono noroi kara kaihō sa rete kudasai. Kono tōgoku kara kaihō sa re, mōichido puraido o torimodoshite kudasai!" He roared, the arena shaking at the force of his words as the dragon whimpered, it was struggling to break the curse. He needed to pull more of Ereshkigal's Authority, Martha's intimidation tactic didn't work. "Watashi no chikara no meirei ni yotte! Kono noroi kara kaihō sa rete kudasai. Kono tōgoku kara kaihō sa re, mōichido puraido o torimodoshite kudasai!"
With a pained roar the dragon flailed about for a moment before it collapsed in an exhausted heap.
"You poor being," he murmured, moving to sheath his blade and kneel beside the panting creature. "I am sorry you are a pawn for slavery and entertainment," he murmured into it's ear before scrunching his face at the feeling of something in his hand. Pulling his hand back he tensed at the sight of a Shikigami.
Not one that Ashiya used, neither Seimei it seemed as it was made of more modern materials.
What in the world…
WITHIN IN THE FORBIDDEN FOREST
"Why the hell did you use a half baked Shikigami," A man growled at the well dressed female beside him. "You have no prior training with them and they are notorious for being difficult to use! Best to leave them to the japanese!"
"I thought it would be nice to throw them off a bit," her crisp London accent stiff as she opened her parasol, she gave the other a side look before bringing her binoculars to her eyes to see the arena. "He's so caring it actually makes me sick."
"What, his kind nature or the fact that it is a damn near convincing front he puts up," the other huffed, crossing his arms.
"You seem to have a negative view of the Master of Chaldea," a new voice spoke up as a man appeared behind him. "Foreigner of London," he inclined his head to the women. "Alter Ego of Astrology," he gave a grim look.
"Lancer I presume," Alter Ego sighed as he turned to the man, eyeing the spear with apprehension.
"Yes," he nodded with a soft smile. "I am sorry to do this, but you two need to die," his smile dropped so fast that Foreigner and Alter Ego only had a moment to dodge his strike.
"Not happening missy," another male spoke as he appeared behind Foreigner.
"Tch! A rider," she sneered as the other pulled his cloak higher over his face. "They have too strong a concealment of their true names. A gift from the Caster of the Forbidden Forest?"
"You are perceptive...a trait that would have had you killed in my time," Lancer roared, thrusting out his spear as Rider went to Alter Ego who cursed at the others' immense agility.
"We need to leave," Foreigner snapped as she dropped by Alter Ego. He had a slash on his eyebrow, blood dripping down the right side of his face
"I can sense a shield around us...it will take some time to break through," he hissed.
"Dam-"
'OI! WHO'S HERE!"
The four froze before whipping their heads to the location of the sound where they saw a shadow larger than a regular human approach.
The Groundskeeper.
With a woosh of air they all vanished as Hagrid and Fang entered the area to find craters and smoke still all around.
"What the ruddy…" he breathed as he looked around, Fang sniffing the ground in confusion as it tried to place the scent that lingered in the air.
"I ended up using invincibility and stun...Well I used stun twice but the dragon had one high resistance to that spell," Ritsuka whined as he was led back to the tent with the egg in his arms.
'I take it when you kick it's jaws," Arthur spoke. "The invincibility was when you blocked the swipe of its claw?"
"Yeah."
"It seems as if those spells can no longer be used, so it's best to think of the others you can use in the moment," Arthur sighed.
"That dragon was cursed with one very weak Shikigami, but the spell was a powerful one. It makes no sense," Ashiya yelled to Waver in ancient Mesopotamian.
"I hear you dammit! But that doesn't mean I know shit about Shikigami! I fought in the Fuyuki Holy Grail war, but I didn't study shit there," Waver roared back. "And you're the expert here! You should know!"
"This drivel? This is absolute crap and you expect me! Ashiya Douman to know this third rate work!"
"Then maybe I should speak to Tamamo!"
'You'd prepare that vile fox over me," he screeched.
"Will you two shut up,' Asclepius yelled back as he approached Ritsuka. "You are giving me a headache with your nagging and worthless fighting!"
"HAAA?!" The two turned to the God who huffed.
"Please, the other four are resting-' Ritsuka sighed as he motioned to the others.
"I actually came to tell you that they'll need medical treatment in about 2 minutes," Asclepius stated as the four looks up in shock.
'Vhat," Victor asked, his headmaster coming up beside him with a worried look.
"Harry, Cedric and Fleur all have 2 degree burns in highly sensitive areas of their body and Harry went through some more bodily traumatic experiences."
'What's stopping you?" Ritsuka raised a brow as he eyed him, Nightingale and the suitcase they brough.
"Your my first priority, screw the rest of them," he said just as Cedric went lax as the adrenaline from the day finally wore off.
"Oh, he's finally went into shock," Ritsuka commented as Fleur turned paler than before and hunched over to vomit as the stress caught up with her. "Oh, Harry your pupils," by that point Asclepius had moved to grab Harry's head and flash a light on his eyes.
"Not dilating. They're going into massive shock now that things have calmed down. They need sedatives," he barked to Florence who nodded and pushed past Pomfrey who went to scan each of them and saw nothing really wrong.
"It's more of their minds" Ritsuka spoke as he handed the egg to Ashiya who pouted. "It's reacting to the massive blood loss, shock, trauma and general craziness around him. Their body is using it's defensive mechanisms," he assured her. "Nurse?"
"Hold him down," she said to Waver and Asclepius as she prepared the needle. "A mild sedative will help calm the nerves and put him to sleep so he can heal," she explained before Dumbledore stopped her.
"A sleep spell will-"
"Only calm him to an extent. The sedative will go through his whole body and keep him in a peaceful state until he's ready to come out of it," she huffed.
"He's heart rate is spiking despite the reduction of breaths," Ashiya observed as Poppy cast another sleep spell.
"I think we should try it," she stated after a moment. Dumbledore looked around at the sick Champions, Krum having moved to rub Fleur's back as she retched again into a pail that was provided.
"Very well," he sighed as Nightingale injected Harry as Ashiya moved to help Cedric who was panting.
"Take a deep breath and when I say exhale I will inject the nice little sedative into you," he smiled as the boy nodded. "Now exhale," he ordered as the boy did soo, wincing at the poke he got before his body loosened once more and his eyes began to droop.
"Get some water into her and then we'll give her the sedative," Nightingale ordered as they moved to do that.
"Anything to tell me," Ritsuka murmured to Arthur who handed him the latest report. "Servant activity?"
"Alter Ego, Foreigner, Rider, Lancer and a Caster," he spoke. "We have scouts now, but it seems as if Caster, Lancer and Rider are in a group together while Alter Ego and Foreigner are a duo. No idea whose on what side, but this seems to be becoming something akin to a pseudo singularity."
"Great."
"We have a few Shinobi and Hassan coming to the watchpost due to the nature of the forest and since Robin Hood is only one man…"
"Yes, yes," he nodded. "The outpost has finished construction?"
'Yes."
"I will be there once this nonsense is over with," he sighed, cracking his neck as his eyes went from Fudge, to Dumbledore, to Umbridge then back again. "Its best to get extra surveillance here in Hogwarts."
"I will contact Chaldea to send more Assassin's over," he nodded.
"We'll need them."
"I take it you sensed it as well," Hermione stopped as she heard Kingu speak. "Is there anything we should know about the forest?"
"There is much to know about the forest, but much that we as wizards are not privy to."
That was Lucius Malfoy!
"I see," Kingu huffed. "And I met with the Granger girl that your son is obsessed with. She's not much."
What?
"You take things at face value demonic son," that cool tembure sound of the Malfoy head huffed. "She's the strongest of the current generation. She might as well take over my position since Draco has no interest in it."
'Oh I know that she's strong," Kingu brushed off. "But is she...does she have the stomach for those of the Clocktower? They are a nasty bunch that will do anything to get their way with anyone or anything. Nasty people they are...best if I could kill them all."
"You know your brother despises your more...bloodthirsty tendencies," Lucius sighed. "I won't disagree and say I don't want the old coots of the Clocktower dead, they give Dumbledore a run for his damn money."
What in the name of Bloody Merlin is going on?
"Well, do make sure you keep the Merlin Wannabe, Pink Toad and Spineless fool away from my brother or I will kill them all infront of anyone who has the misfortune of being in the vicinity."
"Yes, yes," he brushed off Kingu. "I need to speak to Ritsuka about Hermione though. He does so detest outsiders infringing on positions he thought secure."
'Why do you think that this, hmm? Those that the morons in the Associations interfere and try to kill him," Kingu huffed.
Someone was determined to have Ritsuka….kind, smiling, happy, woefully sad Ritsuka?
"I know, I know." Malfoy sighed. 'We'll discuss this later."
"Fine."
By the time they left Hermione entered the field they were once in and merely leaned against the rock breathing out a
'What just happened?"
COMMENT! Tell me what you liked.
"By my power! Please be released by this curse. Please be Released by this of being of pride or fire and regain your pride!"
