Winx Club DuFour and Bloom AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if there was something different about Bloom that only the teachers picked up on but didn't know what it was? It seems that only DuFour and Griselda can get closer to the girl among the teachers. AU OOC some bashing some femslash)
"Alright class I thought today we could do things a little differently. Ms. Bloom I understand that Earth has some poems, sayings, songs, and works of literature not seen in the Magic dimension…is this true?" DuFour asked the red haired Earth raised girl in her class causing the girl to blink slightly.
"Yes ma'am." Bloom said after a moment of thought causing DuFour to smile at her.
"I thought that since we are focusing so much on non-magical works and all recently you would tell us about a few Earth works you know." DuFour explained causing Bloom to blink again before nodding in understanding.
"Do you know any sayings or anything that you haven't heard in the magical dimension before?" DuFour prompted the red head who thought about it for a second before nodding.
"Yes ma'am a lot of them in fact." Bloom said causing DuFour to look intrigued at the thought of new sayings.
"Could you give us an example then? Perhaps come write it on the black board for us as you say it?" DuFour requested causing Bloom to nod and stand from her chair. Everyone watched as she walked to the front of the room and lifted up the red marker that DuFour had handed her.
"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest, all because they do not wish to see anyone else to suffer the way they do." Bloom said softly as she wrote the saying down on the board and marked Anonymous beside it since no one knew who had said it first. Bloom stared at the saying for a minute before setting down the marker and turning back to her seat silently as everyone merely stared at her.
"Very good Ms. Bloom I have never heard this saying before. Are there any songs or anything from Earth that spring to your mind as well?" DuFour asked clapping slightly to break the now somewhat awkward tension amongst the class, why would Bloom pick that particular saying? Bloom just looked up and locked eyes with the teacher before nodding and singing, closing her eyes and letting the visions of times long since passed fill her mind and dance under her eyelids.
(A/N: I do not own Kelas from Fullmetal Alchemist and to see the ones that taught it to her and how they sang it look it up on YouTube.)
"Niiji no wayeh grats
Gaivahn"
The song was in another language sure but something about it and the wistful way Bloom sang it in a dream like voice drew everyone in and caused them to stare. She smiled ever so slightly as she remembered the women she had learned the song and dance to go with it from.
"Niiji no wayeh grats
Gaivahn"
Bloom made sure to sing the song just the way it was sung by the gypsies that had taught it to her. She even began to clap her hands to the same beat they had used, causing her small nearly unnoticed golden bracelets to jingle in time to the beat. The bracelets and her golden necklace had been birthday presents from the gypsies.

Bloom stopped singing all of a sudden as tears began to well in her eyes, remembering what had happened that day.
"I'm sorry. I have to go." Bloom said standing before rushing out of the room with tears falling down her face and shattering like glass once they hit the floor.
"Ms. Bloom!" Griselda said in surprise when the red head bumped into her a little ways outside the door.
"I'm sorry I have to go!" Bloom said bowing her head a little to the brown haired woman who reminded her slightly of those who had taught her the song before the red head hurried off quickly, taking off at a sprint to try and hide her tears from the stern yet kind teacher.
It didn't work.
Taking a quick glance at her clipboard Griselda stalked off towards DuFour's classroom where everyone was still staring shocked at the doorway Bloom had ran through.
"Iris?" Griselda asked entering the room and showing DuFour how serious she was by the use of her first name.
"Yes Griselda how can I help you?" DuFour asked shaking herself out of her shock with one last worried gaze at the doorway over Griseldas shoulders.
"You can start by telling me why Ms. Bloom literally just ran into me while crying before she ran off." Griselda said, it certainly wasn't a question no matter how she phrased it.
"Oh dear. I don't understand why she was crying fully but…given her reaction I believe I may have unknowingly reopened some old wounds or memories." DuFour said her look growing even more concerned while Blooms friends were itching to go and look for their friend. Griseldas eyes sharpened on DuFour and the rest of the class though as she shut the door tightly behind her with a sharp snap that made the students flinch.
"Explain now!" Griselda demanded, her eyes never leaving DuFour's and causing the red clad woman to flinch.
No matter what anyone may say Griselda was incredibly protective of all of her students but those with possibly traumatic pasts more so than the rest. If Blooms reaction to everything was any indication then she had the most traumatic past the teachers had seen since Griselda herself…ergo the brown haired woman was quite protective of the younger girl.
"I would if I knew what was wrong Griselda. I only asked her to write an earth phrase on the board and sing an earth song she knew." …DuFour knew that was the wrong thing to say as soon as it left her mouth.
"And you didn't think that Bloom might have bad memories of her home planet!" Griselda very nearly snarled at the silver haired woman who gave her a small sheepish look.
"Sorry Paine. You know I'm not good at these kinds of things. Usually if something's wrong the students come to me, not hide it away. If they tell me I can connect all the pieces but if not then I'm not quite as good as you are at picking out things that show a troubled past." DuFour said scratching the back of her neck sheepishly.
"That's for sure. You're as oblivious as a five year old." Griselda said with a derisive snort.
"I am not!" DuFour said pouting at the shorter woman.
