Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of this famous series, I can't because both Harry Potter and RWBY belongs to a whole lot of different companies that I can't remember the names of at the moment. Any characters that appear in this fic that is not a part of the original series, belong to me so don't take them without asking first.

Response to: Letter #20
===============================
Emerald Sustrai had to use every mental trick she knew to keep the small smile on her face from breaking into a full-blown grin of a lovestruck schoolgirl. Here she was, accompanying her boss, her Mistress, Cinder Fall on a simple shopping trip through one of Vale's more premier shopping districts and inspecting all the quality clothing they took interest in, each woman carrying a bag with purchases.
(It had almost been a disaster (for her) when the first stop had been a lingerie store. The sleek, slink and utterly sheer sample of sensational silk her Mistress (and how she wanted to use that another way!) had bought...)
'Of course,' Emerald thought to herself, 'It'd be better without those idiots stalking us.' Indeed, for the past half hour there had been an increase of... oddly dressed men and women who were failing at stealth following them. Glancing at her companion tapping on a Scroll, Emerald asked, "We aren't seriously ignoring them the entire time, right?"
Cinder, who'd been oddly quiet the whole trip, merely smirked with mischief, collapsed the Scroll and stowed the device into the pouch around her waist before grabbing Emerald's hand and tugging her with gentle insistence towards a nearby alley. Flushed from the thoughts that raced through her mind at what Cinder was implying, Emerald allowed herself to be pulled along.
After a few turns within the alley, Cinder stopped and turned towards Emerald. Before the green-haired girl could question her boss, her lips were covered by the other girls. And just as things started to heat up, they were interrupted. Twice.
"Nicolea Potter! By order of the Ministry... of... Mag-"
"Ahem."
Breaking contact, a slightly dazed, more than slightly blushing and most definitely infuriated Emerald Sustrai and a grinning Cinder Fall turned to view their fourteen pursuers, and behind them was an exasperated yet amused Cind-
'Wait, what?'
Turning back to her companion, Emerald was speechless as 'Cinder' blinked, her gold-amber eyes disappearing under thick lashes and reappearing as heterochromatic rich brown and strawberry pink while her 'body' shattered like sand raining down, revealing the short-statutes Neopolitan. Whom was still grinning at Emerald.
In her shocked state, Emerald barely noticed the sudden surge of heat and light, nor the screams turned pained moans of their pursuers. Not even Neo walking with a skip in her step to her prowling Mistress and leaning up to whisper in her ear, whilst showing her the purchases of the day fazed her.
The sudden domination of her mouth certainly drew her attention to reality though. Dimly, Emerald was aware of Neo drawing the blade of her ever-present umbrella (though where she hid it all day was a question that wouldn't get any true answer) and, after dropping a paper note on the charred bodies, caused the stalkers to disappear with a complicated wave of the steel.
After all, her Mistress pulling away only to whisper, "We'll talk more later tonight," in her ear was far more attention grabbing.
Britain's Minister of Magic stared blankly between the note in his hand and the pile of cooked bodies that were the Hit Wizards, hired to bring in the Potter girl, that were being attended by Healers.
'To whom it may concern,
Next time, they'll be well done and in servable portions.
Regards,
Neopolitan and Cinder.'
