Let's get started!

Chapter Five

I turned to Boreas to ask him why he stiffened when the door slammed open to reveal Ronald Weasley. I bit my lip at the sight of the red haired boy and tried to keep myself neutral as Hermione smiled at him. She helped him get his trunk into the luggage rack while saying, "I was wondering when you would show up Ron."

"I didn't know where you two were," The boy replied as he looked around before spotting me and a large grin appeared on his face though it fell slightly at the sight of the bracers on my arms, "How was your break Winter?"

"It was fine Ron," I say with a fake smile, "What about yours?"

"It was so terrible," He complained as he dropped into the seat next to me, "Mom made me another sweater and Dad had to work. I didn't get any good presents,"

"Oh that's terrible," I say as Boreas watched the boy from his new spot on my neck, "I managed to have a good one for once,"

"Really?" He looked at me in surprise before noticing Boreas, "Who got you a weasel fur?"

"Not a weasel," I say as Boreas hissed at Ronald causing him to jump up and move away from me, "His name is Boreas and he is a Ermine,"

"What is that thing doing here? You're not allowed to have-" He began only for Hermione to cut him off.

"Actually bonded familiars are allowed on school property," Hermione corrected him causing me to smile, "Kaileara got him after she managed to get her guardian changed,"

"What?" The boy's face seemed to pale.

"Are you feeling alright Ron?" Hermione asked in concern, "You're kind of pale,"

"I'm fine," The boy looked at me, "What d'you mean by getting your guardian changed?"

"I ended up doing something stupid and my magic reacted in a way that got the attention of some of my moms old friends," I answer causing him to pale slightly, "They took me from the Dursley's and have been taking care of me. My new guardian, Hector is cool,"

"Are you sure you can trust them?" Ronald asked causing me to nod.

"Yeah since Hector was at my birth and took a vow to never harm me without due cause," I answer with a smile, "He got me new supplies and clothes. I even got Boreas and a new wand because my old one broke," Ronald paled even more, "Is something wrong Ron?"

"N-no," He managed to get out before he stood up, "I need to go see Percy about something,"

He ran out of the compartment causing Hermione to frown, "What was that about?"

I sighed and gave Boreas a look, "It looks like we were right Boreas."

"Right about what?" Hermione asked causing me to sigh softly, "Does it have something to do with Ron?"

Boreas and I look between each other before I sighed again. I lean back in my seat rather heavily, "Hermione Ron...He isn't who we thought he was."

"What do you mean?" Hermione's brown eyes were filled with confusion, "Ron is Ron,"

"He maybe Ron, but the Ron we know is a mask," I say and before she can protest, "Listen to me Hermione. Ron isn't a friend to us. I know you think he's our friend, but he isn't,"

"Tell me why you think that," She demanded causing me to sigh and nod.

"Before my magic killed Vernon, he told me a lot of things," I close my eyes as the memory came back to me...

Memory scene

"I know very bloody well what I'm doing pet," The fat man hissed as he waved the knife towards me, "I'm getting rid of our problem. She's been nothing, but trouble since we took her in. I don't care about the damn payments that freak of a headmaster was giving us for keeping her subservient. I don't care about the protection the freak offers since we wouldn't even need it if she wasn't here. I am tired of her influencing our son and those freaky powers of hers!"

"W-what?!" I gasped causing him to turn back to me.

"That's right Freak," He growled with glee in his eyes, "We only took you in because of that damned Headmaster offering us that payment to make you his tool. It worked so damn well that you never figured it out. He even gave us some damn protection as well,"

End of Memory scene

"...After he told me that," I murmur softly as I tried to keep myself from falling into despair, "I began to think and came to a conclusion..."

Memory scene

Hagrid bringing my letter and taking me with him to that vault. Mrs. Weasley talking about the platform when she had almost all of her children in Hogwarts. Ron ending up in my compartment when the train would have expanded to fit everyone if they desired a compartment to themselves. The troll being able to get in when there would have been wards to prevent it. The obstacles that any first year could have gotten past. The Weasley's coming to rescue and Mrs. Weasley almost putting me in Ron's room. The whole Fiasco at the bookstore. Ron and I arriving using that damn car.

End of Memory scene

"...'Mione it makes so much sense," I say as sorrow clawed at my heart, "I know it's hard to believe, but please tell me you can see it,"

I knew that I was begging her, but I couldn't stop myself. Hermione, sweet Hermione, she didn't need to be fooled. She didn't deserve to be hurt. I didn't want her to realize it too late, but now that I gave her the information it's up to her to use it. Boreas sent me comforting feelings and I latched onto them as fear clawed at me. I didn't want to lose her, but I might. The very thought made tears try to burn their way out of my eyes, but I forced them back. I wouldn't cry until it turned bad. I couldn't cry because I needed to be the strong one like always. I stared at my friend and watched her think it through before she sighed, "I...You're right."

I felt relief fill me and without any real thought, I launched myself at her. Boreas managed to get off of my neck in time and I felt his amusement as I hugged the stuffing out of my friend. She struggled against me before shaking her head and hugging me back. I gave her a sheepish smile as I withdrew partially, but I stayed there, "Thank you 'Mione."

She shook her head with a smile, "I should have seen it sooner."

"We both should have, but we were both so broken that we let it all slide because we wanted to keep our first or second friend," I assured her before yawning sleepily as the days events caught up with me and asked her a question without thinking it through, "'Mione can I use you as a pillow?"

I froze as the question left my mouth before realizing that she really was comfortable. She looked at me in surprise before snickering, "Only if you give me a good book."

I nodded and hopped off of her lap before reaching into the pocket of my new black hoodie. I pulled out my trunk and my wand before tapping the brass plate with my name on it twice. The trunk expanded to the normal size and I whispered the password, "Furosutosutomu."

I opened the lid as Hermione asked, "What does that mean?"

"It means Frosted Storm," I reach inside and tap the left side of the trunk while channeling a bit of magic through it causing the runes on the inside to glow before my trunk was suddenly filled with books, "What topic do you want to read about?"

"What types of books do you have?" She asked causing me to look at her in amusement, "And how does it all fit in there and how did you do that?"

"I have a lot of diffrent books in here ranging from mundane to magical," I answered the first question, "Spells, runes, and seals allow for everything to fit. I just pushed a bit of magic through a specific rune and it went to the compartment I wanted,"

"I..." She stared at my trunk in awe causing me to giggle before yawning.

"Want to learn a new language?" I ask causing her to nod and I pulled out a book on the japanese language before switching compartments, "I have a few language potions Hector insisted I get incase I wanted to learn a new language while I was at Hogwarts," I pull out a purple one with the Japanese kenji for language on it, "I don't need the japanese one, so here," I handed both the book and the potion to her, "The potion will take a few moments to work, but it's worth it,"

"What languages do you know?" I pause for a second before answering.

"English, Japanese, Latin, and currently I'm learning French," I gave her a slightly sheepish smile, "I took the latin one because I wanted to make it easier for myself when it comes to spells,"

"What does it taste like?" She asked while putting the book off to the side.

"Each one tastes differently, but Hector said the japanese one tastes like chicken," I grimace at that, "I think he was lying because the latin one tasted like having a dusty book being shoved in my mouth. The french one tasted like snails,"

"Ew," She shook her head before downing the potion and grimacing, "It tastes like raw meat," I hum at that and eyed the empty bottle, "Do you have any changes in food preference now that you can turn into a wolf?"

"I like the taste of near raw meat," I confirm causing her to grimace, "I've taken a liking to a few rather obscure dishes, but other than that no,"

"Or you're not aware of anything yet," She said causing me to hum and nod, "So did it work?"

I hum before speaking, "Anata wa, ikutsu ka no sushi o tabe ni iku hitsuyō ga arimasu."

"Uh..." She trailed off and tried to concentrate before saying, "You said, 'You should go to sleep at the bus station'?"

"No though you got the first three words right," I say with a small smile, "I said, 'You should go eat some sushi,"

"Oh," She looked a bit down.

"You'll get it soon enough," I smile at her, "I'm going to take a nap. You read,"

She nodded and I laid down on the seat next to her while using her lap as a pillow. I was out like a light in seconds as Boreas curled up on my stomach...

Dream scene

"SoXXXX," A red haired man with three scars over his left eye called out from his place at a seat at some counter, "Come here for a moment,"

"Sure Shanks," I made my way over to him easily in the empty bar, "Do you need something?"

"SoXXXX You know that we'll be leaving again soon right?" Shanks asked as he looked down at me with a straw hat in his hand.

"Of course because Uncle Garp is coming and you don't want to be caught by him," I say with a slight smile, "He would kill you actually,"

"You're right since he's a marine and I'm a pirate," He chuckled and shook his head, "I need you to promise me a few things,"

I look at him with confusion, "Whatcha want me to promise?"

"SoXXXX I want you to promise me that you'll make sure Luffy achieves whatever he dreams to become," He said causing me to nod, "He'll need help if he plans to do what I think he will, so he'll need someone there to help him out. You're always by his side, so I want you to help him,"

"Of course," I agree with a grin, "Luffy's my little brother, so I need to be there to guide him as his elder sibling," I pause before looking at Shanks with wide eyes, "Don't tell Luffy that I called him my little brother. I'll never live it down if the brat found out I called him that after announcing that he was just a friend,"

"Of course," Shanks chuckled and ruffled my hair causing me to swat at him, "I also want you to promise me that you'll stay strong no matter what. The sea is a dangerous place and only the strong can survive,"

"Of course," I promise again with a smile, "I'm strong now, but I'll continue to train no matter what,"

"Good," He looked at me with a smile, "The next thing I want you to promise is that you'll keep your view of the world as it is. You listen to both sides before you act and it needs to stay that way no matter how hard it is,"

"That's easy," I promise even though now I know that it's actually really hard, "I'll be able to do that with my eyes closed,"

I watched as Shanks seemed to turn somber and wondered why. It vanished, but the look in his eyes stayed, "Good. I only have one more thing I want you to promise me."

"What's that Shanks?" I ask as he turned to me with a serious face.

"I want you to promise me that you'll always protect your Nakama. They will be the only thing standing between you and loneliness, so they need to be protected," I felt myself nod as determination filled me, "I know that you already know what it feels like to be alone, so I know you'll keep this promise no matter what,"

I nod as dark feelings exploded inside of me, "I promise you Shanks. I promise you that I'll keep my Nakama safe!"

End of Dream Scene

I yawned and tried to bat away the hands shaking me. I heard a sigh and yelped as I suddenly found myself on the floor staring up at Hermione. She snickered at me and said, "You need to get dressed. We'll be at Hogwarts in ten minutes."

I yawned softly and nodded before pulling out my clothes from my trunk. Hermione drew the shutters on the compartment and I got dressed. I yawned again as Boreas settled around my neck and asked, "Anything interesting happen while I was asleep?"

"Malfoy came by, but left when he saw that you were asleep," I felt surprise at that, "Winter?"

"Yeah 'Mione?" I ask with another yawn.

"Who's Shanks?" I froze at that, "And what does Nakama mean and why did you say that you would keep it safe?"

I frown and tried to remember, "I dunno. I was having an odd dream too, but I can't remember it now," My frown deepened, "I've been having odd dreams since I ate that fruit."

"Really?" She asked causing me to nod, "I wonder why,"

I shrug and looked at the compartment window to see us getting closer to Hogwarts, "We're almost there."

I closed my trunk after putting the book I gave Hermione back. When the train stopped, we headed out with the other students. Boreas stayed curled around my neck while Hedwig headed up to the owlery. I let Hermione lead me to our transportation and was surprised to see the skeletal horses standing there. I didn't stand there gaping at it because I was hungry and Hermione was holding the door to the carriage open. We ended up in a compartment with two Slytherin girls. We ended up staring at each other before one of them spoke. She had brown hair and unique blue eyes that reminded me of some jewel. Her voice was cultured, but had a slightly accented tint, "My name is Tracy Davis and this is my friend Daphne Greengrass."

"A pleasure," I say while giving the two a smile, "My name is Winter Potter and this is my friend Hermione Granger. Thank you for allowing us to use the carriage,"

"It was no problem," The icy looking blonde next to her murmured, "You've changed since the train ride home,"

I stiffen slightly and my eyes narrowed, "And how do you know that?"

The blonde smiled slightly, "A child of Frost will always know when another appears."

My eyes widened at that and the other girl, Tracy grinned, "I'm a child of Brimstone."

"What are you three talking about?" Hermione asked causing us to look at her.

"The element that we are tied to," Daphne answered with a searching gaze, "Our ties to the element are so severe we are seen as children of that element. We were blessed by the spirits in the womb,"

"Do you know what element I'm tied to?" Hermione asked causing Daphne to hum.

"Fire," Daphne murmured, "You are blessed by the fire spirits, but also by Gaia,"

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked and I spoke without thinking.

"It means that you are a child of both fire and Gaia. When you finally obtain your animagus form, it will be tied to both," My eyes closed as information rushed to the surface, "It means you are very calm and can think things through most of the time, but are prone to blowing up if you get angry. A few interesting combination, but all things considered it makes sense," I open my eyes and found them staring at me, "What?"

"Where did that all come from?" Tracy blurted out causing me to blush.

"My mind, since I did something stupid during the break, has been full of information I didn't know before," I answer while scratching the back of my head sheepishly, "If I hear something and I have information on it, I'll be able to blurt out various facts,"

"That's both awesome and weird," Tracy commented before smiling, "Awesome!"

I felt a blush creep up on my cheeks causing her to giggle at me. Daphne looked at me with a smile, "You're just learning about what it means to be a child of frost right?"

"Yeah though I do have a teacher," I say while gesturing towards Boreas, "His names Boreas, he's my familiar, and an Ermine,"

"A pleasure," Daphne looked me over before asking, "Where are your marks?"

"Hidden under a glamour tied to my bracelets," I answer automatically, "Is that a bad thing?"

"No since it'll protect you from the scrutiny of people like Severus Snape," She answered causing me to almost sigh in relief.

"Wait you don't trust your head of house?" Hermione demanded causing Tracy to snort.

"Why would we trust someone that would steal our magic just to survive?" Tracy asked causing Hermione's eyes to widen in horror, "Both Snape and Dumbledore will harm those who have been blessed by the spirits. We usually go to another school, but since Dumbledore became Headmaster we can't,"

"Why not?" I ask causing Daphne to sigh softly.

"Because he, with the approval of the ministry, created a rule saying that we have to go to Hogwarts if we are born in Britain, Ireland, or Scotland," Daphne answered causing Hermione and I to gasp, "It's why most of the spirit blessed try to have their children in places like France, Germany, Italy, or Japan,"

"How many of us are at Hogwarts?" I ask causing her to look at me with a calculative gaze.

"12 of us if you count the four of us," Tracy answered while giving me a look, "Why?"

"Is there a way for us to train together or at least protect each other from Dumbledore and Snape?" I ask causing them to look between each other.

Hermione saw it and asked, "Is something like that already in place?"

"Yes," Daphne answered, "We'll have to talk to the others, but it shouldn't be too hard,"

"Where do you train?" Hermione asked causing Tracy to shake her head.

"We'll tell you later since we doubt it will be safe to talk with you anymore tonight," Tracy said as she poked her head outside the window of the carriage, "We're here,"

True to her words, we stopped five seconds later. The door opened and we got out. Professor Mcgonagall nodded to us and we headed inside. Tracy and Daphne separated from us at the doors to the Great Hall, so Hermione and I walked to Gryffindor table. Neville and the Twins were sitting together to my surprise as their eyes fell on us. Hermione pulled me over to the trio and we both sat down as she smiled at them, "Hello you three. How was your break?"

"It was good," Neville said with a small smile, "Gran got me a new plant and the book you got me was good Hermione,"

Hermione beamed at him, "I'm glad Neville. I spent a month trying to find the best one."

"Our-" One of the twins, Fred I believe because he has a green tint to his blue eyes.

"Holiday-" George I believe because he has a brownish gold tint to his eyes.

"Was-"

"Awesome-"

"Charlie even-"

"Came home-"

"And brought-"

"Some cool-"

"Romanian prank-"

"Books!" They finished together causing me to smile.

"Try not to use those on anyone until you know what they will do," Hermione said to my shock causing her to smile at me, "What? I don't want them hurting anyone,"

I stare at her for a few minutes before shaking my head. It wasn't worth it until after I ate and slept off my exhaustion. Neville turned to me and asked, "What about your break?"

"Crappy in the beginning, but worked out in the end," I say causing Boreas to send me comforting feelings, "I gained a new familiar, a new place to stay, and some people who might become family,"

"Really?" Neville looked at me in surprise, "That's good Winter,"

Whatever was going to be said next was cut off by Dumbledore. He gave the room a grandfatherly smile and said, "Welcome back students. I hope your break has been as beneficial to you as it was to me. I got a good pair of sock-"

"Albus," Professor Mcgonagall cut him off.

"Right my dear," He chuckled as the students laughed, "Now let's eat!"

Food appeared and we began to devour it. Boreas seemed to enjoy the roasted walnuts and the apples that appeared on the table. I immediately piled various meats on my plate with a few fruits and vegetables. For some reason, I was always disappointed whenever I looked at the table. It felt like something was missing while I was eating and it made me wonder why. When dessert popped up, I felt better, but still something was missing. I sighed and decided to put it out of my mind as I focused on filling my stomach. I had become a bottomless pit in Hector's words due to my body now burning off all excess calories in order to repair any and all damage done during my years with the Dursley's. Oh I would still be short, but it was more genetic than anything since apparently all female Potters were short. It was a curse much like the messy hair that I had avoided for the most part. I would always eat more than most due to my new abilities needing more energy to use than my magic did before I ended up eating that fruit. It was a trait many children of the elements apparently possessed. It was a small price to pay considering what could have happened. I was still pouting over the fact I couldn't swim in the sea or swim in general without some type of magic active. It sucked, but again small price to pay for getting me out of the Dursley hands and into the hands of someone that wouldn't abuse me. We all were soon herded upstairs and Hermione tugged me up to our dorm room. The other girls would be downstairs for a time, so it meant we would be safe to talk. Hermione applied some silencing charms and turned to me when it was done, "What are we going to do now? We can't use the polyjuice potion even though we finished it."

"'Mione it isn't Draco," I say causing her to look at me in surprise, "He seemed just as if not more surprised than any of us when the Halloween Fiasco of the year occurred,"

"Than why did you go along with it?" She demanded.

"Because Ron was so set on it," I looked away from her, "I know it's stupid now, but back then we didn't know that Ron was a traitor,"

"I see," She frowned and sighed, "Then what do we do now?"

"We think about what we know so far and make a list," I answer before pulling out my trunk, "I have some extra pens, paper, and some stuff to write on, so we're good on that end,"

I pulled out the mentioned items and we settled down to write the list on my bed. Hermione started us off, "Alright what do we know so far?"

"The attacks started on Halloween while everyone, but we were at the Death day party for Nick," I say as I wrote it down.

"All the victims so far were paralyzed," Hermione added causing me to nod.

"All of them were near a reflective surface like water of in Justin's case a ghost," I add as I wrote it down.

"Each of them looked horrified," Hermione added causing me to nod.

"Anything else?" I ask causing her to nod.

"No signs of struggle or break ins," She muttered before grabbing the list, "Winter why did you write Medusa on here?"

"It sounds kinda like the legend of Medusa only without the turning to stone part," I answer with a sheepish smile, "I'm able to talk to snakes and I've seen the spiders fleeing the castle, so maybe it has to do with a snake,"

"What else do you think might be going on?" She asked causing me to frown.

"Well I've scent snake all around the place though it was old... A few weeks maybe?" I scratch the back of my head, "Slytherin's chamber is inside of the school even if it hasn't been found. His house is the Snake house, so the problem is most likely a snake,"

"What kind of snake could do this then?" She asked before pausing, "How did you get so smart and why didn't you mention this earlier?"

"I've always been smart, but the Dursley's forced me to act stupid or they would beat me," I say with a wince causing her to gasp in horror, "I guess I didn't mention it because I either thought it didn't matter or just wanted you to figure it out on your own," I tried to think of what kind of snake it could be, "I don't know what snake it is, but I could owl Hector and ask him,"

"Do it," She said and we quickly wrote a letter to Hector.

Boreas somehow managed to contact Hedwig and she flew into the room through an open window. I gave her the letter and said, "Go to Hector and wait for a response."

Hedwig hooted, "I'll be back as soon as I can."

She flew off and I shut the window. Hermione looked at me for a few moments before pulling me into a hug, "I'm sorry I couldn't help you get away from the Dursley's earlier."

"It's fine 'Mione," I assure her with a small grin, "I'm okay now. Just don't leave me alone,"

"I won't," She pulled away from me with a yawn, "I'm going to bed,"

"Same," I agree and pull out some clothes from my trunk.

I pulled them on after getting rid of my current ones and curled up on my bed with Boreas on my stomach. I felt a tired burst of amusement at the fact he had again claimed that spot as his own. He seemed to only find that the most comfortable place to rest and it made me want to laugh. I ignored the need as my eyes fell shut and I my awareness of the world left me. Darkness claimed me as one of it's own once again and cocooned me for my journey into the lands of dreams.
