A couple of weeks later the headmaster was leaning back at his desk eyes closed. The issues with Madam Umbridge were really piling up. Ever since she had admitted in front of everyone that she used a highly restricted if not outright banned Dark Object on students in detentions with them.
"Headmaster. I wish to speak to you may I come through?" A voice called from his fireplace making him groan yet again. Slowly he looked up and over towards the fire seeing a woman within it. He paused trying to place her before nodding a moment.
"Of course. Though I don't see what you may wish to speak to me for. Madam." Dumbledore offered before watching the tall woman pulled out of the fire then step through it. Standing in front of him was a tall woman with short almost white hair. Her features somewhat pointed her blue eyes narrowed in thought.
"Thank you Headmaster Dumbledore. I need to speak with my niece and as the deal to let her study here included me being able to see her at any time. I decided I needed to come to clarify some information she has sent me that does not make sense." She explained to the man. Albus groaned and rubbed at his face with the woman's explanation of her request.
"Of course. I was so excited to have one of your group at the school I could not say no. I shall call her up so you may speak with her." Albus said wondering still what could be so important to bring this woman into his office.
"That is fine Headmaster, but I will go find my niece myself. It will be easy enough." The woman said as Albus groaned a bit. Really working to get a member of the hidden ninja within his school had been a coup that no other school had gotten and now with the chaos happening. He really didn't want the woman to pull her niece out.
"Of course, our deal stated that was your option at anytime. Just let me tell the teachers you are here and allowed to wander the halls." Albus requested from the woman. She nodded and watched as he summoned a house elf and set it to tell the teachers within the school about the lady. He glanced towards her seeing her with her eyes closed one hand facing palm up seeming to be possibly praying or something. He watched her for a few minutes and noticed what looked almost like blue lines rippling across her face before vanishing again.
"Can I head into the school proper now Headmaster?" The woman asked after a moment.
"Yes, of course, my Lady. I hope your stay here is productive." Albus said as he watched the woman leave his office. She walked down the stairs and out into the school lightly running her fingers along the walls of the castle with a slight smile. The stones were so soaked with modern magic they were almost able to speak the way of the ancient stones her people used.
She turned down a hall after once more confirming she hadn't disrupted the glamour over her appearance. She sighed in relief once sure as it would not be wise for modern humans to find the differences between her people and them, especially in this country that was so xenophobic. Really it was a good thing the ancients races were mostly hidden, though there were rumors or a few of them being more obvious than not.
"Oh come on! It was a joke it's not like I hurt the Mohshirrai Voe*!" A deep voice cried out from around the corner causing her to freeze. That sentence had ended in an incredibly old language. She herself only knew a single word of it on top of that it had been a male voice crying out in it. Some instinct screamed from deep inside to turn the corner and attack whoever had spoken.
"Yes but at this rate, you will traumatize him before he even has a chance to wake up! You need to stop and give him time!" A softer female voice said. There was a sense of power behind it and caused the woman to want to pull the other voice away from the first. She frowned and quickly turned the corner to see the two figures. She stared at the huge dark-skinned male towering over a much smaller lythe blond female. She also right away recognized that there was a glamour over the girl's ears.
"By Din, I'm just having fun! His stupid upbringing this life is slowing down his awakening. I need to break that ego to let him wake up! Why won't you even realize that!" The male cried out throwing his hands into the air before spinning and freezing seeing the woman at the corner. She stares in shock at the yellow eyes her mouth dropping open in shock before her stood one of the ancient races, one believed completely dead and on top of that a male.
"Dragmire! I don't care what you think you are doing it will not help this matter!" The girl snapped at him. The man's eyes locked onto the woman watching before he froze then covered his eyes to control the urge to run.
"Bassei leavra* not another one. Princess get your dogs out of here will you!" He cried out turning to face the girl who blinked then looked at the woman he had been looking at just a moment ago. She walked around and over to the very stiffly standing woman and smiled.
"I'm sorry for you seeing that is there something we can do for you?" The girl asked tilting her head to one side as she looked up at the woman who felt in many ways familiar. She looked at Luna as another girl in a uniform much like the one in front of her runs up seeing the group groaned.
"Aunty please don't do anything stupid!" The girl calls out as she leaped over the large male and skid to a stop next to the smaller girl in front of her. She blinked then looked at her niece and how she arrived pulling so much attention to her.
"Kinara, what did I say about making a show of yourself. This is not the place for such actions!" The woman scolded as she again looked at the large male and small girl. The large male shifted obviously nervous at being in her presence. He backed away from the group then looked at Luna who turned to face him again her eyes narrowing at his obvious desire to slip away.
"You are not leaving yet Dragmire! I am not finished scolding you for that tasteless prank on the chosen of Farore!" She snapped at him.
"Hey, now I only said I wouldn't hurt him. I am not going to stop playing pranks on him." Harry snapped back as the Ravenclaw girl groaned and rubbed at her face before turning to face the woman.
"It's getting worse. These two won't stop arguing aunty! What am I supposed to do?" She asked with a groan. The woman watches as the large male just leans against the wall with a groan and covers his eyes.
"Turning the brats dinner plate into a replica of the twilight mirror was hilarious, princess. I am not going to take it back, and as I said before this is far preferable to us trying to kill each other as we have previously!" Harry snapped and glared at Luna.
"Maybe but you doing such things will not help speed his awakening, and to deal with this situation he needs to be awake!" Luna snapped right back obviously angry. The woman just stares and watches as Harry clenches his fist as she clearly sees the symbol on his right hand.
"How is this happening. None of you should be around anymore! The cycle was finished, we kept the histories and legends among us but they all said this was finished!" The woman snapped pulling Harry's and Luna's attention to her. They looked at each other then groaned and rubbed at their faces.
"How much did Kinara tell you?" Luna asked. The woman held out the letter which Luna took with a soft smile and scanned it. Luna nods as Harry crossed his arms and shut his eyes waiting for this to be figured out. He could feel the woman watching him and slowly opened one eye to look at her.
"Are you just going to keep staring at me?" He asked.
"You look like a Gerudo but are male. The only time I know of such things always had him conquering and destroying everything." She growled.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever. What I was and what I am are two very different things now." Harry said as Luna looked over at him. He looked at her and waited for what she would say.
"Enough of this. There is no reason to fight at this moment. There are far too many things we need to work around and I know your people have always held onto the histories of the past. I hope maybe you can tell me what happened since the cycle should have ended." Luna said softly.
"Of course, but first I think I need to speak with the Headmaster. I am not going to leave you all to stumble through with things without someone keeping an eye you all." She said. Harry rolled his eyes knowing she is mostly talking about him.
"Do as you wish just please don't attempt to kill me as long as I don't do something to deserve it." Harry requested then walked away leaving Luna to talk with the Sheikah women.
"I apologize about him, well actually I shouldn't but that is very much who and what he was before the possession," Luna said with a shrug.
"Doesn't matter. He has caused so many issues and with all of you here and remember, I need to be alert for trouble." She said causing Luna to blink then grin.
"You are the present Impa right?" Luna asked causing the woman to jump a bit and look at Luna.
"That is my title correct." She replied causing Luna to tilt her head a bit.
"So the name has become a title, interesting." Luna murmured as the woman chuckled softly.
"Yes, but it also replaced my name when I gained it. So it has become my name." She admitted then smiled at her niece. "I shall be going back to talking to the headmaster. I will not be ignoring what is going on here at all."
"Well good luck on getting to stay here then. Just be careful the headmaster is kind but sometimes he can get a little manipulative." Luna warned. She nods in response then turns heading back towards the office as Kinara groans a bit.
"Great she is going to be watching me now too." The girl groaned. Luna laughed and shook her head.
"Maybe we should follow her and find out what her plans are?" Luna suggests before following after Kinara's aunt. They kept back but watched as the woman headed towards the Headmaster's office. Once she entered the room the two moved next to the door to listen in.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I request a way to stay within the school." the woman said clearly.
"Why do you wish such a thing. You never showed such desire before." Dumbledore's voice stated. The two girls looked at eachother and frowned slightly.
"My reasons all deal with the histories my people keep. I will not simply sit back while the curse comes back to haunt this world." She stated.
"Curse what curse?" Dumbledore asked loudly.
"This is ancient history that even among my people is practically legend. The curse was supposed to be finished though. The last cycle of it ended the evil, but now signs of it are back." She stated.
"You are talking of my two reincarnated students." Dumbledore said.
"Three actually thought one does not yet remember. There is always the three." She replied.
"Really always? That is a strange thing to mention or to be in place." He stated,
"It has always been three since the start of the time." She explained.
"Fine, I think I know what to do and really I have been needing someone to replace him. You will have to teach history to the students but you will be here fully." Dumbledore offers.
"That should work. I have heard how terrible that ghost is at teaching and my people have always had a flare for history." She said and stood slowly before walking towards the door silently.
"How long will you need to set up to take over the classes?" Dumbledore asked standing up himself.
"Well first, I need to ask my niece a few questions." With that she opened the door suddenly causing Luna and Kinara to fall onto the floor from where they were leaning against the door. She frowned down at the two who blushed a bit and stood quickly trying to hide the embarrassment of being caught.
"Miss Lovegood, Miss Sheir was there something you needed?" Dumbledore asked as he placed his wand away that he had drawn in case of trouble.
"No just making sure nothing too bad was happening." Luna said as she dusted herself off.
"Miss Lovegood I was perfectly safe, there was nothing to worry about. Now you should head on to your way you two and don't mention what you have heard here." Dumbledore waved them away. Luna walked out and down the stairs as Kinara was stopped by her aunt.
"Give me a list of your history books for the last seven years. I am going to go look them over so I will be ready within a week." The woman said as the door shut and Luna shrugged her shoulders giggling softly.
"What are you laughing about Loony?" A female voice said from one corner causing the girl to jump and spin. Standing against a wall was Cho Chang a prefect from within Ravenclaw and one of Luna's long-time tormentors.
"Just enjoying my time in the castle while hunting for some Blibbering Humdingers, Cho." Luna said with a dazed smile. Cho steps forward only to pause a moment and look the way Luna had come from as Kinara hurries down the steps towards the two of them.
"Whatever Loony." Cho snarled and rushed off. Luna lost her dazed look immediately and frowned after the other girl.
"Are you okay princess?" Kinara asked from behind her.
"Yeah, fine, just had a strange run-in with the year six prefect." Luna explained.
"Do you mean Cho Chang the one that has encouraged your mistreatment since you started here?" Kinara asked.
"Yes, she was just here. She sounded like she was plotting to run into me when I was by myself. It was strange. Usually if she wants to bully me she is with a group of her friends." Luna murmured.
"Be careful Luna. I do not think it would be a good idea to run into her by yourself." Kinara warned. Luna nodded as the two Ravenclaws headed back into the school proper.
Cho stalked away from the annoying girl clenching one of her hands and taking a long deep breath. If that stupid girl Luna had recently started to hang out with hadn't shown up she could have caused an accident like she had wanted. She muttered as she stalked through the halls only to pause as she hurt the deep laughter that came from Harry now. Slowly she smiled and slipped into the hall he was in to see him nodding to walking away Neville.
"Harry, hey can I speak to you for a moment?" She asked with a bright smile fluttering her eyes at the boy.
"Sure Cho what's up?" Harry asked as he glanced at the girl he had sort of had a crush on the year before. Now he didn't really have an interest in her. She was not the right size for his interests.
"I was wondering what you might be up to the next Hogsmeade weekend. I was kind of hoping that maybe we could go together?" Cho suggested with a smile at Harry.
"I'm sorry Cho but I'm really not interested in going to Hogsmeade with you." Harry replied with a shrug.
"Come on Harry you wanted to date me last year what changed?" Cho asked. Harry scowled at the girl shaking his head slowly.
"Many things changed Cho, the least of which I will not be a simple replacement for Cedric as that is terrible for his memory. Now excuse me I need to get going." Harry replied before walking away not noticing Cho's eyes narrow a bit as she turned and hurried away.
Bassei leavra: (roughly meaning) deaths wind.
