If there was one thing that the high class Devil known as Rias Gremory, anyone really, valued above everything else, it was family. So learning of a cousin she didn't know she had, she had mixed feelings about it. And said cousin would be coming over to Japan over the summer had her excited about meeting her cousin and the members of their Peerage, which apparently only consisted of three people, including her cousin.
The cousin was apparently the child of her aunt, Nerine Bael, her mother's younger sister, who the Underworld lost contact with twelve years ago. Nerine had volunteered to infiltrate the Wizarding world under the identity of Lily Evans. She had sent reports regularly about the general situation of the Wizarding world to the people in charge of the politics at the time, as well as send letters privately to her family detailing her romance with the wizard known as James Potter, who she eventually married.
Anyway, Rias was a bit startled when the fireplace suddenly flared flames of green, and out of the fireplace stepped her mother, who was shortly followed by three girls, all of whom was younger than Rias by about three years, though one of them looked about a year younger than the other two, making her four years younger than Rias. All three of the girls had rather buxom figures, but one seemed to have been sporting her figure for a larger amount of time than the other two, since hers was more developed than the other two.
The most buxom one had naturally white hair, a very pale complexion and pale purple eyes. Her presence carried for some reason a sense of dread that could only be described as a cold chill of death, indicating that she wasn't just a Devil but also something else, and it wasn't human.
The first one of the other two girls, the second most buxom of the three, was a bushy haired brunette. Her presence felt similar to Koneko's presence but at the same time different. In addition to the demonic presence produced by being a Devil, this girl's presence also carried a sensation of a warm flame.
The youngest one of the new arrivals had a rather buxom figure for her age, by human standards, suggesting that her supernatural heritage hadn't been active for long. She had a strange striped mixed of dirty-blonde and pale blue hair. This girl carried a presence somewhat similar to the previous girl, diabolical mixed in with a sensation that could only be described as a sense of catlike mischief.
The fact that they arrived via Floo, a rather outdated system of transportation which was apparently still being used by the Wizarding world, pretty much sealed the deal that one of them was Rias' cousin.
Once Venelana and the new arrivals got rid of the ash that, to their collective annoyance, got stuck on their clothes. The girl with dirty-blonde-and-pale-blue-striped hair got rid of the ash stuck on her in a rather comical fashion. She sneezed. Which caused the release of the glamour that hid non-human features, in her case, a pair of cat ears and a pair of striped cattails. The fact that the tails were best described as being fluffier than the average nekomata suggested that the dirty-blonde-and-pale-blue-stripe haired girl belonged to a subspecies.
In response to seeing the glamour of the dirty-blonde-and-pale-bluenet drop, the bushy haired brunette simply rolled her eyes before sending a glance towards and holding a silent conversation with the white haired girl who eventually nodded, prompting the brunette to drop her own glamour. Causing a pair of cat ears to appear on the top of her head and a pair of cattails to sprout from her lower back, just above her ass. All of the catlike features sporting an appearance similar to blue flames.
"Rias my dear, this is your cousin and her Peerage. I would introduce them myself, but I think it would be more appropriate if they introduced themselves." Stated Venelana to her daughter while promoting the other girls to follow her encouragement.
"Sure. My name is Lilith Azrael Potter, the king of my little Peerage. And I'm a Devil/Reaper-hybrid. It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance, cousin." Exclaimed the white haired girl, now identified as Rias' cousin, Lilith Potter, with a slightly over dramatic bow. "Ladies."
"Oh! That's our que! Hello everyone! I am Luna Lovegood, Lilith's bishop. And I, like my king, is a hybrid between a Devil and something else. In my case, a Cheshire Cat." Exclaimed Luna with a giggle of mischief at the end while swaying her tails behind as she made an equally over dramatic bow as her king.
"And I'm Lilith's oldest genuine friend and queen. The name's Hermione Granger. I'm a Devil/Hellcat-hybrid." Exclaimed Hermione while fondly shaking her head at her fellow Peerage-members antics with a smile on her face, indicating that she was more than used to their antics.
Nobody noticed Koneko's eyes widening when she heard what species two of the guests were in addition of being Devils. As far as she knew, the Hellcat and Cheshire Cat were extinct subspecies of the nekomata. It shouldn't be possible to find any members of either species of either gender. She decided to take it upon herself to voice out the unasked question.
"The Cheshire Cat and Hellcat are extinct subspecies of the nekomata. If your claim about your secondary species are true, then how is it even possible?" The fact that Koneko rarely spoke, let alone this much in one go, made everyone in the room start paying closer attention and turn said attention towards the king of the relatively recent Peerage for answers. Something that made Lilith blush when she realized that everyone's eyes were on her.
"That would be because of my rather unique set of Evil Pieces. Or as I like to call them, Rude Awakening Pieces."
"Are these pieces capable of not only reincarnating other beings into Devils, but also reawaken dormant supernatural heritage, producing hybrids between Devils and other species?" Asked Venelana suddenly, earning looks of surprise from everyone in the room.
"As far as I know, yes. Why?" Exclaimed Lilith.
"I believe that, it is in the greatest likelihood that the set of these, Rude Awakening Pieces as you call them, were originally your mother's set, Lilith. But she either forgot or, more likely, left them behind at Hogwarts. Though whether or not she intended you to have the pieces is probably something that we will never find out." Exclaimed Venelana, before sending a glance at a clock and realizing just how late it was, but decided not to do anything about it. Instead she simply sat on the couch and listened to Rias and her Peerage getting to know Lilith and her Peerage.
The kids spent a few more minutes just chatting with each other, mostly about the difference between their respective paths of magic, the more experienced practitioners of demonic magic even agreed to teach the rookies in exchange for them teaching them whatever art the wizarding world could offer the more experienced Devils, to the best of their abilities. They also didn't take offense when Luna told them (rather bluntly) that none of them possessed the gift necessary for divination (or in simpler terms, precognition), unlike Hermione (though professor Trelawney's rather poor choice of words might have been the biggest cause of Hermione's severe disbelief in divination). The kings eventually got to a mutual agreement, and that was to never let Rias' queen, Akeno Himejima, who's a sadist, learn how use the Cruciatus Curse, also known as the Torture Curse.
