Please review and any newcomers welcome! I do hope you enjoy this story!

Summary: Winter Rosa Potter has always been diffrent from people. Being a witch hadn't changed that due to her near death experiences. After nearly dying of hunger due to being forced home during the Christmas holidays in second year, she finds an odd fruit and eats it. She doesn't care if it could kill her, the school hating her and always being alone was already doing that. She was rather surprised to see the results of doing that, but she can't help it if she's happy with it. After all, it gave her what she wanted most in the end and that was enough for her. Fem!Harry. Ministry/Dumbledore/selective!Weasley!Bash!

Pairing: Fem! Harry, Winter/Trafalgar Law

I will be doing a multi-year story, but there will be time skips during summers and such.

"Normal Talk"
"Snake Language"

Let's get started!

Chapter Fifteen

I'm not exactly sure what all happened next, but I did know this. I am never, ever going to get a basilisk to bite me again. The headache that came about after whatever that angel-boy did faded was enough to make me pass out in within five maybe six seconds. All I can really remember is the teachers running into the room with Hermione on their tail. The rest passed by in a blur of odd sounds, people, and pain.

~Time~Skip~

"Fuck my head," I groaned at the bright lights.

"Hopefully that will teach you to not let a basilisk bite you," The lights dimmed and a disappointed Hector stared down at me.

I groaned softly, "Hector I regret it, but it was the only plan I had at the time."

He shook his head lightly, "I suppose it was," He still looked slightly disappointed, "However," A small smile appeared on his face, "You did manage to get both the snake and the shade killed all the while saving the other child."

"Is she alright?" I asked and was given a nod, "Good,"

"Tell me something Frostling," He looked down at me with curiosity in his purple eyes, "Why exactly did you have Ethereal energy floating inside of your body?"

"Ethereal?" I sounded out the word and a shudder went through me, "What's that?"

"Ethereal are a species that age up until a certain point and live far longer than any other species," Hector explained while something flashed in his eyes, "They are like wizards, but with characteristics that make it impossible for them to blend in until they can hide them or have someone hide them,"

"Okay so is that bad?" I asked before clarifying, "Me having that energy inside of me?"

"No," He shook his head lightly, "The energy destroyed the venom and healed the wound the basilisk left,"

"Oh good," I sighed in relief before noticing that he was tense, "Is something wrong?"

"Perhaps," He looked at me seriously, "But the question is why an Ethereal did this for you,"

Gabriel's words floated through my mind and I spoke before thinking, "He knew me somehow and called himself my brother."

Hector froze for a few seconds before his eyes narrowed, "Do you know him?"

"No," I shook my head only to groan as a dull pain ran through my skull, "I don't, but he mentioned something about false memories. He seemed to know me and while I don't remember him, I felt..." I paused as I tried to think of the word, "Safe I think,"

Hector frowned and muttered something under his breath. I started to fidget under his narrowed gaze. The color seemed to darken every few moments as time went by. I felt like shrinking away from the man that had only been kind to me. Something inside of me whispered that something bad was going to happen. I opened my mouth to speak when Hector turned away with a mutter of, "Interesting."

"Hector?" I asked while trying to sit up only to hiss as the world spun.

He turned his head towards me, "Rest Frostling. You're still recovering. Rest."

He walked away as something seemed to drag at my mind. My body relaxed as my eyes grew heavy. W-what the hell is going on?

~Time~skip~

"So Hector's taking you home?" Hermione asked from her bed.

"Yup," I was currently under my bed looking for anything I might've dropped under there, "Hermione did you see-"

"The wolf statue?" She asked causing me to hum in acknowledgement as I grabbed a pair of socks, "It's on your bed side table,"

"Right," I crawled back out and tossed the pair of socks to her, "How much is left?"

She looked through my trunk after catching the pair of socks, "So far you have everything except for the fur and the statue," She then looked at me, "Why do you use that fur instead of the blanket that we were given?"

"It's comforting," I ran my fingers over the fur, "I dunno why, but it is,"

"Doesn't it get hot?" She asked making me shake my head.

"Nope," I began to fold it, "I dunno-"

"Don't," I rolled my eyes upon hearing her say that, "It is don't not dunno,"

"Yes Ms. Grammar," My tail flicked behind me as I said that.

"Why are your ears and tail out?" I hummed lightly and shrugged.

"Comforting," My ears twitched as I heard someone coming up the stairs, "Come in Luna!"

Luna walked in with a sad smile, "Leaving?"

"Have to," I picked up the fur and put it in my trunk, "Hector said we needed to figure out some things,"

"Will you return?" She asked causing me to huff lightly.

"Of course," I turned to her with a grin, "I'm not about to let you get rid of me, Dreamer,"

"Dreamer?" Both Hermione and Luna were looking at me in confusion.

I blushed lightly and shrugged, "Yeah. It feels like the perfect nickname for you since you're the dreamer."

Luna giggled while Hermione mock pouted at me, "What's my nickname then?"

I thought about it for a second, "Myst."

"Winter why?" I shrugged in reply.

"It fits," I then grin at her, "Or do you have a better idea?"

"What does it mean?" She asked.

"It's short for Mystery,"

"Why mystery?"

"Because you're always helping me solve mysteries regardless of whether we should or not," I chirp making her snort.

"Fine," She shook her head, "Now onto Hector taking you home," She looked at me sternly, "Do not think I didn't notice you trying to change the subject,"

I pout at her in reply before sighing, "Right."

"Winter what's going to happen?" Luna asked making me sigh again.

"I don't know," I ran a hand through my hair, "Hector hasn't told me anything,"

"You're going to come back right?" Hermione asked causing me to turn towards her, "You have to come back and we'll be able to contact each other with Hedwig!"

"True," I nodded my head, "But Hector doesn't like me going to Hogwarts,"

"Oh," She frowned slightly, "That could be a problem,"

I shook my head, "No it won't be," I grinned at her, "I won't let him stop me from coming back. As much as I hate some of the people here, you guys are here. I'm not about to let him keep me away from you guys. I promise."

"Winter!" I was suddenly being hugged by the two.

"Guys?" I stiffened before relaxing slightly, "Why?"

"Because you're our friend," Luna replied as she laid her head on my shoulder.

"And because you won't break this promise," Hermione smiled at me as she pulled back, "I know you won't stay away for too long,"

I hugged Hermione as my tail curled around Luna's waist. Luna giggled softly, "Tickles."

I snicker in reply before pushing the two away, "I'm going to miss both of you."

"We'll miss you too," Hermione smiled sadly, "Stay safe?"

"As safe as my luck will allow," I nodded to her, "Stay safe?"

"I will," She promised, "I'll keep Luna safe too,"

"Good," I grabbed the wolf statue and walked over to my trunk, "I'll send a letter as soon as I figure out what's going on,"

I put the statue into my trunk on top of the fur before closing it. I tapped the top with my wand and it shrunk until I could put it in my pocket. I turned to the two and opened my mouth to speak when there was a knock on the door. We looked at it as Hermione called out, "Come in."

The door opened and Professor McGonagall walked inside. She smiled sadly at me and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

I bit my lip before murmuring, "Yes."

"Then follow me," She turned and left the room.

I followed after her though I paused at the door to look at Luna and Hermione. I smiled sadly at them and murmured, "I'll be back."

"We know," The two smiled sadly at me in return.

I turned forward and followed the professor down the stairs. We entered the Gryffindor common room and the students stared at us as we walked past. I tried to ignore their stares as we walked. We reached the door and it opened before the Professor could touch it. Ginny and the twins walked in only to stop in surprise. Ginny shook off her surprise and asked, "Professor? Did Winter do something wrong?"

"No Ms. Weasley," The Professor's voice was on the soft side, "Please move. We do not have much time,"

The trio did as asked and the Professor opened the door. I started to walk past when Ginny asked, "Winter?"

I bit my lip and contemplated what to tell the girl before sighing, "See ya later Ginny."

I walked through the door and followed the Professor through the halls. The Professor spoke as we walked, "Ms. Potter how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," I mumble as we passed a painting filled to the brim with staring people.

I heard her sigh before she stopped. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow as she turned around. She sighed once more before saying, "Winter," She smiled down at me, "You are one of my favorite students and some one I never wanted to expose to the dangers you've faced thus far," She placed a hand on my shoulder causing me to stiffen, "I know you do not trust the adults of this school, but hopefully you'll be able to trust me."

"Professor..." I murmur as she removed her hand.

"If you need anything, I'm only an owl away. Alright?" I nodded making her smile widen, "Good. Now Mr. Hector is waiting for us,"

"Right," We were on our way once more.

The trip down was filled with stares from both paintings and students. I saw multiple people run off and mentally shook my head. It was worse than Sabaody when you fought with another pirate or slit a world nobles throat. I shook my head from that thought and wondered where it came from. We soon reached the Grand Staircase and walked down. Hector stood at the bottom and offered a strained smile to me as he asked, "Ready to go?"

I didn't trust myself to keep my voice steady, so I nodded. Boreas jumped off Hector's shoulder and ran over to me as I reached the last step. I stepped onto solid ground and bent down to pick my familiar up. He quickly settled himself around my neck and nuzzled my cheek with a murmur, "It'll be alright little one."

I kept quiet as I moved towards Hector. He took my hand in one of his giant ones and spoke to the Professor, "Thank you for your help Ms. McGonagall. It was a pleasure to meet you."

The Professor nodded even as students crowded the walkways and stared down at us. I spotted the badgers and a few snakes gathered around the entrances to the dungeons. I mentally sighed and wondered what rumors would spring up from this. The Professor took my attention as she finally spoke, "Mr. Hector it was a pleasure to meet you though I wish it were for another reason."

"As do I," Hector's fingers tightened, "If you will excuse us, we must be going,"

"Of course," The Professor turned her gaze to me, "Remember what I said,"

"I will Professor," I nodded to her.

With that said, Hector and I left the school. A carriage stood at the bottom of the school steps and a man with pointed ears opened the doors. The carriage was mainly red with a few gold accents. The gryffin of the Windseeker clan was proudly displayed on the door. A pair of gold maned red pegasi were pulling it. Hector stood by the door to help me in as I turned to gaze at Hogwarts one last time. My heart clenched as my eyes found Hermione and Luna staring down at me. I bit my lip and waved to them before allowing Hector to help me into the carriage. I sat down on one side and he took the other as the man with the pointed ears closed the doors. I felt a faint jolt as the carriage began to move and Hector spoke, "We should be back on the island within the next 2 hours."

"Hector," I hated how small my voice sounded, "Will I be allowed back?"

"I don't know Frostling," He sighed softly, "Only time will tell if you can return," He pulled out a book, "Why don't you sleep? You'll need the rest,"

"Hector how did you make me go to sleep back in the hospital wing?" He seemed slightly surprised by the question before chuckling.

"Gryffin magic," He answered making me nod.

I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. While I hated leaving the subject alone, I knew I wouldn't be getting anywhere at the moment.

~Dream~Dream~

"You should be asleep," The voice of my best friend came from the door.

"So should you," I pointed out from my sitting position on the snow covered roof.

"True," I heard a shuffling sound and felt him sit down next to me, "Why are you staring at the sky?"

"The stars are calming," I brought my legs up to my chest and laid my head on my knees, "Times like this call for something calming,"

"So tomorrows the day he's coming to get you?" I grunted in reply, "It isn't fair,"

I sighed deeply as I watched the stars above, "Nothing in this life is fair, Law. We gotta take what we can get."

I almost jumped when I felt warm arms around me, "I know that, but I don't wanna lose you yet SoyXXX."

"You won't," I turned my head to look at the boy with a small smile, "One day we'll meet up again and have adventures together," My smile turned mischievous, "You still have to show me that you can not only get a submarine, but a yellow submarine," He blushed in reply, "I still don't get why you want one of those things,"

"They're awesome!" The normally calm boy defended with a soft pink blush, "And yellow is the best color ever other than black,"

I snorted in reply as I scooted closer to him, "Yeah right. The only thing you got right in that sentence was the black part."

He glowered at me, but didn't push me away, "You always say that."

"Course I do," I grinned at him, "I need to annoy you don't I?"

He rolled his eyes and shook his head. My grin dimmed slightly before removing my arms from around my knees. I wrapped my arms around him in reply causing him to stiffen and ask, "Yuki?"

"You're the best friend I could ask for," I whispered as I hugged him close, "I don't want to lose you either. Promise me that we'll see each other again?"

"Promise," He hugged me close in reply, "I promise we'll see each other again,"

~End~Of~Dream~

"...Ake up?" I let out a low groan.

"Now seems right," I heard a chuckle.

"Sleep," I mumble as I tried to get closer to warm thing.

"Frostling you need to get up," I felt whatever I was sleeping on moving.

"Pillow quiet," I ordered sleepily, "Me wanna dream,"

I heard loud laughter and someone giggling, "Hector a pillow? I've heard everything."

"Shut up," I groaned darkly.

"Well, well, well the pup has some spine," I heard someone coo and growled at them, "And she can growl! So cute,"

I opened my eyes and turned to the person speaking with a growl. The light assaulted my eyes for a few moments before I got used to it. I found myself staring a black haired woman with sharp golden eyes. Something in me seemed to snap as soon as our eyes met. A loud growl left me and I shot out of the arms that were holding me as my form burned. Where once I was a girl, I was now a wolf. I growled at the woman causing her to let out a bark-like laugh, "Who the fuck are you?!"

"Demanding little pup aren't you," She continued to laugh making me snarl at her, "A little alpha if I ever saw one,"

I snarled at her and bared my fangs as I repeated my question, "Who the hell are you?!"

She didn't answer my question as she let out another laugh. I growled deeply as my body lowered itself closer to the ground and tensed. She was pissing me off and making something inside of me scream to make her bow down. I didn't even think as I shot forward and opened my mouth to bite down on her throat. I jumped once I got close enough and started to close my jaws around her neck. Only to find myself biting open air, I let out a confused growl as I landed only to hear a low chuckle. I swung around and snarled at the woman as she stared at me from next to a bench. She smirked at me, "Charging in like that is sloppy. Any good fighter knows you shouldn't charge in without having some knowledge of what the other can do," I bared my fangs at her and crouched low again, "I'm pissing you off and you don't even know why," Confusion filled me as I heard those words and wondered how she knew, "You just charge forward because you can't think of anything else."

I growled deeply and charged forward as I shouted, "What the hell do you know?!"

I didn't understand it. Why was I acting like this? I didn't want to, but something was making me. It was like something had taken over my body and I couldn't fight it. I didn't see her move, but I felt the air around me grow cold as she once again wasn't where I had last seen her. I swung my head around and found her staring at me from next to a large fountain. I growled deeply at her as my body tensed again, "You can't understand why you're even trying to fight me. All you know is that you want to make me either bow down to you or die. It's like something is forcing you to move without your say. You can't even fight it."

I let out a low whine as I charged forward. How the hell does she know this stuff? What the hell is wrong with me? I didn't want to do this, but I couldn't stop myself. The woman was gone once more and I dimly heard someone whisper, "Fast."

I swung my head around and found her. My body charged forward without tensing as she said, "You're confused and wondering why. You want to stop, but you can't. Something inside of you is preventing that and you can feel that it won't until it destroys me," She moved away, "It scares you so badly that you can't stop. It makes you so scared that you can't stop yourself. It makes you fear that you'll spill the blood of another because of this thing inside of you that won't stop trying to kill me," Another missed charge, "It scares you that some part deep inside of you wants to spill the blood of another just because they made you angry. Doesn't it?" Her eyes locked with mine as something forced me to stop moving, "I can see it in your eyes that you don't want to do this, yet I can also see the bloodlust that lies deep inside of you," My body felt heavy all of a sudden and slowly fell to the ground, "It's been there ever since you killed that beast of a man," A shudder ran through me as she walked closer, "You probably didn't even know it existed until I said something," She stopped walking as she reached my head and stooped down until she was sitting on her haunches right before me, "You feel something dark inside of you. Something that's been boiling and tugging at your brain each time you looked at those that irritate you, that anger you, that make something inside of you burn," She stressed the last word as her golden eyes practically glowed, "And you've ignored it each time."

My mind went to my encounters with Snape, Ronald, and for some reason Dumbledore. I shuddered and let out a whine as I whispered, "I don't-"

"You don't understand it," She murmured softly as she reached out and placed a hand on my head, "Your human mind doesn't understand it and tosses it to the wayside," She lightly ran her fingers through the fur on my head, "Just as it pushes away any notion that it thinks of as wrong. The need to make another bow down to your will," I shuddered at the feeling of her fingers moving through the fur and felt something calming radiate from the touch, "It scared you to think that, so your mind pushed it away," The calm-thing slowly moved throughout my entire body, "Ever since you smelt the snake when you returned, you must have felt something buzzing inside of your mind," I felt my body slowly change back into my human form, "Each time you smelt, heard, or even felt the snake the buzzing got worse. It must have felt like thousands of little bees in your brain stabbing their stingers into you," Her fingers were carding through my hair as she continued to speak, "It must have gotten worse when the snake attacked someone," I dimly felt something wrapping around my waist and pulling me closer to her, "When you saw those people that the victim was close to acting worried, it must have burned you and made you stay away. You wanted that didn't you?" I let out a low whine and she smiled at me, "You wanted to have them be like that to you. You wanted to be that close to them," Her fingers slowly detached themselves from my hair, "It hurt you to see other people like that when you didn't have that bond with them. You had your friend and another, but it just made the feeling worse. You wanted the closeness. You want the warmth of friends and people that care about you. You want what you didn't have,"

"H-how?" I didn't know what I was even asking at this point.

"I know about this because I faced the same thing when I ate my fruit," She answered while gently moving me into a sitting position, "I was much like you back then," She stood up and extended a hand to me, "If you will let me, I will teach you about dealing with those feeling and with the powers your form brings," I eyed the hand and she giggled, "I promise that this isn't a trick and I will help you,"

"Y-you're like me?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yup though my fruit is a bit diffrent," I eyed the hand a little more before taking it and allowing her to pull me to my feet, "After all, no two fruits are the same,"

"Really?" She nodded in reply.

"Nope," She waved a hand at her head and her rear, "It's impossible for two fruits to be the exact same thing. If some of the more powerful ones were doubled, we would be in deep shit," I stared at the sand colored ears and twin tails, "I ate the Kitsune-Kitsune no mi: demon desert fox," She eyed me, "Do you know which one you ate?"

"No," She sighed softly.

"Damn that'll make it harder," She ran a hand through her hair, "Have you narrowed it down?"

"Kind of," She snorted softly, "Who exactly are you?"

"Me?" She grinned at me making me take a step back, "I am the beautiful fox that all the men love. I am the desert princess that all envy. I am the great and powerful Sabaku Kaze!"

I stared at her before murmuring, "Who the hell calls their kid Desert Wind?"

She froze and I felt a shiver go down my spine. Why do I feel like some just stepped on my grave?

End of chapter. It just didn't want to come out at first, but now I'm going to write another one. Expect it to be up in the next two days
