Griselda and Bloom AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"You poor dear." DuFour said after a moment of shocked silence, reaching forward and gently reaching out to wrap Bloom in a hug. Bloom tensed in the hug and refused to let her body relax until she had been released by the now hurt and concerned red clad woman.
"No offense Lady DuFour but I have bad memories associated with the color red, and I don't know you that well. Please don't touch me unless you have no other choice or I get to know you better." Bloom said with a perfectly stony face as she looked at DuFour who looked downcast at this but nodded, internally cursing herself. After seeing the girl without her glamour on and hearing about the child's horrible childhood she should have known that red would be a color that made Bloom uncomfortable despite the girls hair being red.
"I'm sorry Ms. Bloom. I did not mean to make you uncomfortable." DuFour apologized softly to the red haired girl who merely shrugged her shoulders at the apology.
"Eh it's cool. Don't sweat it." Bloom said casually, causing all of the women to look at her confused which just made her face-palm to their disbelief and shock.
"Sorry that's earth slang. By saying it's cool I'm saying it's okay. By telling you not to sweat it I'm saying that you don't need to worry about it." Bloom explained with a sigh.
"Interesting. Could you tell me more about different earth sayings and 'slang'?" DuFour asked curiously causing Bloom to look at her confused.
"Sure I guess but why? No one else seems interested." Bloom asked confused and causing DuFour to giggle slightly. Looks like she was the one volunteered to keep the red head distracted while Madam Cross healed her.
"It's because of my magic child." DuFour said before noticing the confused look on the red heads face.
"I'm the fairy of words, which is why I'm always so careful with what I say. My magic could make something I say or read come true, so I'm always interested in any new sayings, books, songs, or slang that I find out about. So if I were to say that Griselda's glasses disappeared and were suddenly floating in Palladium newest potion and couldn't be summoned…" DuFour said smirking while Griselda swore when her glasses vanished from her face suddenly.
"Again Iris?!" Griselda asked glaring at the red clad woman who snickered while Bloom just outright laughed at this along with the twins.
"It never gets old." DuFour said grinning unrepentant.
"For you lot maybe but I get tired of it quick." Griselda growled at her friend and coworker.
"Aww you need to lighten up a bit Zeldie. No wonder Wizgiz calls you the 'Queen of Detention'." DuFour said teasingly and causing Griselda to growl slightly.
"That old leprechaun calls me what?" Griselda asked causing the twins to snort slightly.
"It's not like he's the only one that does it. We call you the Queen of Detention too." Ediltrude said with her sister nodding in agreement while Bloom looked amused at the way the four were acting.
"Yes and I call you the 'Twins from Hell'." Griselda shot back at the two who grinned at their 'title'.
"So? We like that title!" The twins said in unison while grinning widely and causing Bloom to snicker slightly.
"I'm starting to like these two. They seem to like pranks as much as I do." Bloom said snickering as she looked at the twins who grinned at her.
"Pranks? My dear dragon girl you have said the magic word!" Ediltrude said grinning as she wrapped an arm around Bloom's left shoulder.
"Please my dear Dragoness. Tell us what you have in mind." Zarathustra said mimicking her sister with Bloom's right side.
"You ever turn Alfea pitch black?" Bloom asked promptly with a smirk, causing the two Alfea Teachers to blanch at this while the twins stared for a minute before grinning widely.
"Stick with us Dragon! Together we'll cause so much chaos!" The twins chorused at her in unison, causing Bloom to grin widely.
"Ladies you just said the magic word. Bribe me with the right amount of chaos and you'll find that I'll do just about anything." Bloom said causing the twins to grin wider while the Alfea teachers exchanged worried and slightly horrified looks.
"So what's your ranking Dragon? Sis and I are Chaotic Evil, those two looking as if they've seen a ghost are Chaotic good." Ediltrude asked nodding her head back towards the two horrified teachers.
"Chaotic Nuetral. I tried to sign up for the League of Heroes but they denied me because they said, and I quote 'Good guys and girls don't enjoy lighting people on fire' end quote…I joined the League of Evil instead. Apprentice of Evil level 4 and Bringer of Chaos level 7 if you want to know." Bloom replied instantly causing them all to stare at her wide eyed for a minute…before the twins grinned widely.
"I think we'll get along just fine Dragon!" The twins said in unison while there was a chuckle from the doorway, causing everyone to turn to it only to see a tall woman with greenish skin and purple hair chuckling in amusement next to a rather horrified looking Faragonda. Whether the woman was horrified by Bloom's injuries or her ranking…no one knew.
"Yes my little apprentice is quite the trouble maker when she wishes to be. Heard about what happened in town today, little Dragon. Good thing I sent you the scroll with how to eat fire magic on it huh?" The green skinned woman asked chuckling as she looked at Bloom in amusement and fondness while Bloom's eyes were wide. Her next words caused everyone's jaws to drop while the woman cackled at the looks on their faces.
"Mama Griffin! What are you doing here?!"
