Here's chapter 32, everyone.


"When do you have to go back, mom?" Weiss asked as she and her mother were speaking alone, while Ruby, Blake and Yang were speaking with Summer about her new job.

Willow smiled and rubbed her fur a bit. "I'd say Summer and I, and are one other guest will be here for the weekend." She noticed how happy Weiss got with hearing that. "That doesn't mean you can skip out on homework while I'm here though."

"Come on, mom." Weiss grinned. "I have already finished up my homework during our free period, and the rest of the classes after that were simply combat courses."

"Overachiever, huh?" Willow chuckled and she felt a strong breeze, hearing her daughter sigh happily. "You always have loved the fresh air."

"Just like Lazuria…"

"Yes to both." Weiss answered. "Though I'm going to need to not get used to lazing about like this as much." Weiss said as she got on her paws and looked to Beacon. "Ruby is counting on all of us as a team, so that means I can't underperform."

Willow was proud of her daughter, but as a mother, she also was protective and needed to show that. "You can do that without going overboard like your silly mother."

That got Weiss' attention as she turned to face her mom. "What are you talking about?"

Willow folded her hands. "My aura training has been going well, though, I tend to go just a bit overboard on it." Weiss grew concerned. "My trainer would scold me about it of course, so take it from me, continue growing, but don't hurt yourself while doing so."

"Mom…" Weiss sighed a bit. "You should have told me about this sooner. Hearing that you're going overboard on this isn't helping me feel better about it."

"And when did my little snowflake become the parent here?" Willow joked, which made Weiss let out a small smile, but the white wolf leaned in and nuzzled her mom. "I'll be okay, sweetie. Promise."

"Okay, mom, and I promise not to go overboard either." Weiss continued to nuzzle her mom as the woman gently wrapped her arms around her neck.

Summer walked over, taking her scroll out quietly and snapping a picture of the two. "Hehe." She giggled to herself and as they seperated, the blacksmith coughed to get their attention, both Schnees looking over. "Willow, sorry to interrupt, but I got a message from you know who, and she's… Well, being her. So would it be okay if you maybe help me drag her butt over here?"

Willow sighed a bit, nodding to her friend. "Of course." She looked back at Weiss. "Sweetie, I'll be back in a bit. I need to go take care of something."

"Alright, mom. I'll stay out here with the others." Weiss said as she walked back to her team.

Summer put her scroll away and chuckled while shaking her head. "Man, this whole time your snowflake could become a wolf and I didn't know. Damn, how did you manage to keep this from me for so long?"

Willow shrugged. "You seem easy enough to fool at times, so I suppose you should blame yourself for that."

"Bleh." Summer stuck her tongue out, but she sighed when she thought about Raven. "Well, time to get her out of that room."

"If you want, I can go and get her." Willow offered. "Stay with the kids."

"Kids? Come on, Willow." Summer chuckled. "They're not kids anymore." She turned to smile proudly at the team. "They're a team of young huntresses in training now."

Willow took a moment to examine the team, watching as Ruby was making battle poses next to Weiss, who seemed to laugh a bit at her partner's poses, while Yang was sat next to Blake, both seeming to be having a discussion. It warmed her heart to see the team bonding, even if she didn't know two of them, her daughter and Blake, were having difficulties with each other.

"I suppose you're right." Willow remarked, having to understand that much. "Just stay here with them. I'll knock some sense into that old bird."

"Whoo, don't let her hear you call her that or she'll kick your ass." Summer warned with a grin, Willow simply rolling her eyes as she walked to the school. "Hehe." She headed back to the team, hoping to get some fun stories out of them.


"I swear if you try to touch anything else in this room, Raven Branwen, I will have Ozpin throw you out and ban you from coming back." Glynda glared at the black haired huntress who was walking around her office.

Raven leaned over to examine her bookcase, shaking her head at it. "Uh huh. So, you still keep the same old books around, but you never read them? Seems like a waste of space in here if you ask me."

"I wasn't." Glynda responded in an annoyed tone.

"Eh," Raven shrugged. "I still don't see any point in keeping books around that you won't even read."

Glynda raised her glasses up a bit. "I have read them all, you moron. And don't act like this is something only I do."

"Oh I never said only you do it." Raven pointed out. "I've had this talk with Willow Schnee as well, and I'll tell you this, if she couldn't give me a good enough answer for this, then you won't either."

The blonde professor continued to hate having to keep the black haired huntress in her office. "Why are you even here, Branwen? All you're doing is distracting me from my work."

"And annoying you, but that's not really so hard now, is it?" Raven smirked.

Glynda stood up from her chair and slammed her hands against the table. "I don't have time for your games, Branwen! You can either leave my office now, or sit down and stay quiet!"

Raven rolled her eyes. "Sheesh, I don't see how you're Ozpin's advisor when you get pissed off so easily." The black haired huntress returned her attention to a picture on the wall. "Hmm, this you?"

The blonde professor looked over at the picture and sighed. "Yes. It is. Now did you hear me or not?"

"Obviously." Raven looked closer at the picture, her eyes widened as she looked at the woman standing next to Glynda. "It's… Interesting to see you smiling here."

Glynda sat back down and shook her head. "Just shut your trap already."

Raven ignored her and continued to stare at the picture, but after hearing a knock on the door, she held her hand up to Glynda. "I'll get it." She walked over and opened it, revealing Willow. "Huh, I was just talking about you."

"I can only hope it was good thing said," Willow looked over Raven's shoulder at Glynda and waved to her. "I'm sorry for leaving her here with you, Glynda."

The blonde professor sighed and waved her off. "Just relinquish her from me, please."

"Talk about a whiner." Raven commented after leaving the room and closing the door behind her. "How do you two even know each other anyway?"

"A mutual friend of ours." Willow answered, not giving any more to it than that. "Now are you going to continue avoiding our deal or what?"

Raven crossed her arms as they walked down the halls. She glanced at the students who would walk by them, making her think about her daughter a bit. "Hmm."

"Is that all you're giving me here, Raven?" Willow questioned.

"What more do you want? You got me to come to Beacon, which if I recall, was the thing you specifically said you wanted me to do." Raven stated.

Willow was about to have a migraine. "You're kidding, right?" When she got no answer, she wanted to punch the huntress. "Look, you know why I wanted you to come to Beacon. You know why Summer wanted you to come to Beacon, so don't pretend like you don't."

"I'm. Not. Pretending." Raven growled. "And don't think I won't kick your ass if you try to overextend what you're saying here."

"Why are you so hard on everyone, including yourself?" Willow asked, stopping in her tracks as the raven haired huntress stopped as well.

"Because no one else will be." Raven answered without hesitation. "You don't get to walk away from it all and expect things to go swimmingly, Willow."

The white haired woman crossed her arms as she held a glare on the huntress. "And what of those who want it to go swimmingly? What about them? Do they simply get no say on the matter?"

Raven clenched her fist, which made Willow sigh. "I still don't see the point in distracting her."

"She wants to see you." Willow assured.

"You don't know that." Raven countered.

"Maybe I don't, but from what you said, it sounds to me like she really would. You were there for her when her father was injured, and if you could be there for her then, why can't you now?" Willow questioned, making sure no one was around to hear such a private conversation.

With the thought in mind, Raven shook it off. "That was different. She was distressed back then, and right now she'd be better off focusing on her training."

"You were the one who trained me, remember?" Willow reminded.

Raven turned to face the woman. "Your point?"

"Is that you know when to be a mom, and when to be a hard ass." Willow smirked. "So this is one of those times to show up as a mom, don't you think?"

"And when the hell have I been that? Out there," Raven pointed out one of the windows. "I'm a hunter. Survival is what I care about now more than anything."

Willow didn't buy it. "Don't give me that." Her voice was powerful and stern. "If all you cared about was surviving, you wouldn't have trained me, or accepted our deal. Or even came here in the first place."

Raven took a step forward to intimidate the white haired woman. "You really don't want to keep this going, Willow."

"I'm not about to back down from this," Willow stood perfectly still. "Not after busting my ass for that week."

"Ugh!" Raven turned around and walked off, earning a satisfied look from Willow.

Willow nodded to herself, knowing she got to her in some way. "You can be mad all you want, but you know what I did, and I know what you can do, Raven Branwen."

"Whatever." Raven shrugged her off as Willow caught up.

"They're waiting out in the courtyard." She said nothing else, earning an unamused look from the huntress, but she paid it no mind and continued leading the raven haired huntress outside.


Weiss yawned a little, feeling a bit bored and kinda tired while she noticed Summer was looking at her. "Um… Yes?" She knew what it was, and she sighed, lifting her head up. "Mrs. Rose, please-."

Summer waved her hands around to stop her from continuing. "No, no, it's nothing like that, little snowflake. I'm just thinking about the reason your mother asked me to make that second blade for Myrtenaster." She rubbed the back of her head, grinning a bit. "And it looks like I know now."

"Hmm?" Weiss wasn't sure what she was implying.

"Using a rapier as a wolf would be pretty tough, so I assume you use the other blade on it to fight when you're using your semblance." Summer guessed.

Weiss' ears perked up. "Well, yes actually." She was glad someone was able to not ask so many questions about her semblance and sat up. "It was a little difficult to learn at first, but mom let me train as much as I could."

"And it eventually got easy enough to fight like you do when you aren't a wolf." Summer finished. "Impressive, little snowflake."

The white wolf proudly wagged her tail a bit. "Thank you, Mrs. Rose."

Summer sighed a bit. "I still wish you would call me Summer."

Ruby giggled a bit. "You know how Weiss is, mom." She gasped and remembered something. "Oh! I was gonna ask! Would you ever be allowed to bring Zwei with you?"

"I don't see why not." Summer said as she ruffled Ruby's hair a bit. "Just as long as Glynda doesn't seem him running around, I'm sure Oz wouldn't be against it."

Yang perked up at that and sat up. "Oh man! Zwei would love it here! You know he's a battle corgi at heart."

Blake raised an eyebrow. "A… Battle Corgi?"

"Yup." Yang grinned. "Little guy is tough as nails, and seeing as Weiss is able to fight as a wolf, I don't see why Zwei couldn't either."

Weiss rolled her eyes. "First, I don't like that you're comparing me to a dog, you oaf." Before Yang could respond, the white wolf continued. "Second, there is a difference between a dog who is a family pet, and me, who has been training with a sword for six years."

"Well… When you put it that way, yeah that makes sense." Yang said, rubbing the back of her head. "And, uh, look, you know I wasn't compar-."

"I know, Xiao Long. I know." Weiss decided not to make it any more serious, wanting to just relax.

Yang sighed and nodded, accepting it as that, but when she looked over at the school, what she saw next made her heart drop. "M-Mom?"


Sorry this chapter is shorter than usual, but after the longer chapter last time, I hope it makes up for it. I tend to get the plot points of a chapter done, and then end it there. So if a chapter ends up as short as this one, it's because I didn't want to overextend it for no reason.

To JJ- It's definitely fun to write those two together more and more. And yeah, the day she learned it was very, well you saw. And if you want to see art of an animal Weiss, then look up nagasawarwby on tumblr. They have really cute art of Ruby taking care of Weiss like that. And the whole fetch thing, that won't happen. Weiss only allows people to rub her fur, not treat her like an actual animal. That's basically crossing the line to her.

I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 32. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 33.
