Warnings: AU, Gender-swap (features a Female Ichigo), violence, Ginny-bashing for sure….that's all for now.
Disclaimer: Tite Kubo owns Bleach and J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter. Honestly, if I owned Harry Potter, Ginny would be burning in the deepest pits of hell, and if I owned Bleach, Ichigo's final hollow form would be seen a lot more often…
After wandering around for three hours gathering the various other supplies that were needed ("What the fuck do I wanna ride on a broom for…there for sweeping not flying, besides I can already run on air."), Ichigo decided that what she really needed was a pet. Although they went to a couple places, nothing seemed right for her, finally they ran into a small shop located on the edge of Diagon ally that seemed to have no sign except a worn out piece of wood with the words "Enter at own risk…and have a nice day!" crudely written on it in Japanese. Ignoring the warning she entered the shop.
"What brings you to my humble abode", said a wrinkled old man with eyebrows rivaling the captain commander's.
"I am looking for a companion." said Ichigo simply.
The old man shambled over and scrutinized the group before replying, "In this shop you do not choose your companion, they choose you….and it seems that there are two here in the group that have been deemed worthy of my oldest and most powerful tenants." With that two enormous birds that looked like crosses between a phoenix, and a peacock flashed into existence. While both were extremely colorful, one favored the cooler end of the spectrum, while the other channeled more warm shades.
Ron was doing a happy dance inside his head, "obviously one of them is meant to serve me…then the world will see my awesomeness!" Ginny was thinking along the same lines, but instead of the world she was focused on Harry. However both would be disappointed as the birds landed in front of Harry and Ichigo.
"My name is Yin," spoke the blue bird in a melodious tone, "and I represent the feminine aspects, the moon, the earth and the water….I will be your companion for as long as you live." It finished with a bow and a blue flash of light that solidified the bond.
The second bird stopped in front of Harry and said in a powerful voice, "My name is Yang and I represent the masculine aspects, the sun, the sky, and fire…I will be your companion for as long as you live." A bow and a red flash of light created another bond.
The rest of the group stood speechless, jaws dropped at the sight of the four powerful beings. Finally Harry broke the silence. "Not to be rude or anything, but what are you?"
One of the birds answered, "We are known collectively as Fenghuang, or the Chinese phoenix." Harry's mind conjured up images of Fawkes, who while magnificent in his own right, paled in comparison. As if reading his mind (which because of the bond he kinda is) Yang said "While we are related to the European phoenix, we differ in that we don't have those pesky burning days, and can only exist as a pair."
Yin picked up where Yang left off. "You see, while we are called Fenghuang collectively, one of us is a Feng, while the other is a Huang. One cannot exist without the other, and together we represent undying love and devotion.", she finished sending an adoring gaze at Yang.
This caused both Harry and Ichigo to blush while there companions giggled at there obliviousness. Ginny was fuming about possibly (make that definitely), losing Harry, while Ron was angry that none of those colorful chickens wanted to bond with him….he was way better than Harry, right?
Both teens were saved from futhrer ridicule, by Mr. Weasley announcing that Ichigo's wand would be finished by now, and Mrs, Weasley rushing them out of the shop.
Ichigo had been trailing behind the group (Yin and Yang had long since poofed back to headquarters) when she bumped into someone's back. Looking up she noticed that it was Harry and was about to ask him why he had stopped when she heard a voice that she had hoped to never hear again…"Hey, long time no see, Shinigami". Snapping her head to catch the azure eyes and baby blue hair she knew she would see, she replied "Not long enough, Grimmjow."
