Chapter 6 – Ignorance and Redemption

Another chapter done and I have to say, writer block was a complete bastard. I have made grammar correction (to the best of my ability) from the beginning to this chapter. I will answer ALL my reviews at the end of this chapter, it's about time I address some of those questions and mad suggestion. Please enjoy this chapter, another 16000 words again.

Gryffindor Dorm

Tsukiko Potter had woken up at the crack of dawn, she took in her surrounding and realized this was not her bed room back home or her workshop, took her almost a full minute before she realized, she was in Hogwarts, and she was in a shared room with Hermione Granger. Tsukiko yawned and stretched out her body before leaving her bed and headed to the bath room to freshen up.

When Tsukiko returned from the bathroom, Hermione was still asleep, Tsukiko could hear a light snore coming from her. Tsukiko decided now would be a good time to bring out her 'assistants' and deploy the mystic code mirror.

A voice within her mind said to her. 'I still cannot believe you brought them with you to Hogwarts' the voice belonged to papa Shiki.

Tsukiko brought out a perfectly cut sapphire and replied. 'This will be the perfect testing ground for them, I have taught them everything I could at home, it's surprising how much they have learned in just nine months. You and Shirou-oniisan thought it was really awesome that I made them.'

Shiki said with mirth. 'Tsukiko-chan, you are the only girl I know, that actually like mecha, it's only Shirou-san and I that actually appreciate them, while every one else was baffled by them.' Shiki then said nervously. 'It's only the aftermath of their creation that got you banned from using Felix Felicis ever again.' Tsukiko turned scarlet red at that memory, it was only after the potions effect worn off did they realized, that Felix Felicis alters the user's mentality and made them a little unstable, like being drunk and happy at the same time, but able to do everything you want clearly and with no inhibition.

Tsukiko replied to Shiki with pure embarrassment. 'Papa Shiki, please don't remind me what happened after the Felix Felicis incident, it's way too embarrassing.'

Shiki was amused when Tsukiko become embarrassed about that incident. Tsukiko always had a skewed sense of humour and would try to embarrass Lancer at every opportunity, so it was kind of refreshing to see the table turned on Tsukiko for once. Shiki thought back to that day when Tsukiko completed the Tachikomas.

(Flash back)

Shiki positioned himself between Arcueid and Lancer, he sat next to Arcueid and kept her from trying to kill Lancer within Tsukiko mind scape, Tsukiko sat in Seiza position facing Rin, Arturia and Satsuki. Lancer positioned himself as far away from Arcueid and Satsuki as he could. Shirou was next to Lancer trying his hardest to contain his laughter, much to everyone annoyance. Rin took a deep breath while Tsukiko was sweating bullets.

Rin said to Tsukiko in an annoyed tone. "Tsukiko-chan, I can understand why you created the Tachikomas, their usefulness as workshop assistant, since Satsuki-chan cannot assist you most of the time due to work and Lancer blow up half your projects with his E-rank luck as soon as he set foot into your workshop, I can understand why you created the Tachikomas, so I am willing to let that go. What I cannot understand is. How in the Root's name did you end up sleeping naked, next to Cu Chulainn in his bed." Shiki watched Tsukiko laughed nervously, no one else was laughing except Shirou. Tsukiko realized how much trouble she was in right now and explained the effect of Felix Felicis, it was with the help of 'Liquid Luck', she was able to complete the Tachikomas perfectly, gained tons of research notes that was years ahead of anything Tsukiko got. Tsukiko speculated that Felix Felicis tend to help the user get what they wanted the most and since there was no way to advance the resurrection project, it must had led her to do the next best thing she want, which was winning Lancer affection.

Tsukiko tried to passed it off as a bad batch of Felix Felicis.

However Rin said to Tsukiko angrily. "Tsukiko-chan, Cu Chulainn woke up screaming like a girl."

Lancer said to Rin with indignation. "Hey, I did not scream like a girl." But sharp glares from Rin, Arturia, Satsuki and Arcueid silenced any further protest.

Rin continued. "Satsuki-chan cried about how you became a woman before she did. Thank the Root nothing actually happened between you two." Both Tsukiko and Satsuki turned scarlet red at this. "The best part was Arcueid-san almost killed Cu Chulainn, It took all of us to restrain your mum from killing him, Arcueid-san thought Cu Chulainn had corrupted you and took your innocent."

Tsukiko had broken out in cold sweat and said nervously. "Since we cleared everything up, and nothing actually happened..."

Tsukiko was cut off by a VERY angry Rin Tohsaka. "Tsukiko-chan, Arturia and I got black eyes from trying to restrain Arcueid-san, Shirou broke his arm trying to stop her, we are not sweeping this under the carpet, from this day forward, you are banned from using Felix Felicis in ANY research, I have also instructed Cu Chulainn and Satsuki-chan to lock you in your room should you take any questionable potions or become inebriated, I am also cutting your budget by half this year as punishment for this incident." Tsukiko was crying a river when she heard her budget was cut by half for this year and wailed at the unfairness of it all.

(Flash back)

Shiki came out of his thoughts when Tsukiko opened her suitcase, it then widened and enlarged to three times it's size, a blue spider robot crawled out of the suitcase along with it's brother. Both were identical to each other except for the assigned number plate, the Tachikomas had four legs and two arms attached to the main thorax, it had three 'eyes' attached to the thorax, like three bowling balls with three black sockets, one looked out in front and two on either side, giving them an almost three hundred and sixty degree field of vision, at the rear of the Tachikomas, an abdomen like body part was attached to the thorax, Tsukiko explained the function of the Tachikomas to him and Shirou, the other could not understand how she managed to pull this off. The Abdomen of the Tachikomas housed their magical power source, a synthetic diamond the size of melon housed within them, surprisingly enough, the synthetic diamond could store a large amount of prana, but could only expel them in small amount without damaging the diamond itself, this source of power was then converted into electricity for the Tachikomas main body, Tsukiko mentioned, she had placed runes onto the Tachikomas wiring to prevent the ambient prana from messing with the electric current inside the Tachikomas and more runes on the electric motors that powered the arms and the legs.

Tsukiko explained the parts that she resorted to Felix Felicis was the brain and artificial intelligence of the Tachikomas, various research from her mystic code television helped in creating the basic programs and through sheer luck, she got the right combinations of jewels and runes to create the brain of the Tachikomas, it was her crowning achievement in creating what she called the first fusion of magic and technology, since then she had upgraded the Tachikomas with various magic, such as sticking charm on the legs when they need to clime walls or ceiling, disillusion charm when they need to hide, anti-magic armour plating and so on. The Tachikomas was 24 inches in width, 36 inches in length and height. Tsukiko even rode on them around the mansion. Shiki had to admit, they were awesome, both he and Shirou could not contain their excitement when they first came online and took their first step.

Tsukiko smiled happily at the Tachikomas, they clicked and whistled at her. Oddly enough she could understand what they said and replied. "Good to see you too, Bob, Jack. Try to keep your voice down. I don't want to wake up Hermione. I need your help deploying the mirror, I will levitate the mirror, you two move it into position, once that is done. Your mission is to explore Hogwarts castle and map out the entire school." Tsukiko took out a perfect diamond and set it onto the suitcase, opened it and proceed to cast a levitation charm on a massive mirror with silver frame and many jewels and runes set into the frame. The mirror was a dimensional door way to the mansion at 46a Craigdarragh Road, it work similar to Floo network, minus the soot, floo powder and disorientation, the mirror worked on the principle of the second true magic, except it was only connected to it's sister mirror at the mansion. Tsukiko would have set the mirror inside her workshop, but the risk of Lancer accidentally blowing up her projects would be too much for her, so it was set up inside her bedroom instead. The mirror stands at 84 inches and weighs a great deal, Tsukiko needed to concentrate on the charm while Bob and Jack move it into position, none of them noticed Hermione stir in her sleep.

Hermione woke up to find Tsukiko casting Wingardium Leviosa on a massive mirror and had a pair of blue Acromantulas helping her move the mirror against the wall. Yes. Hermione decided she was still dreaming and went back to sleep, a full ten seconds later, Hermione eyes pop opened in complete shock and shouted. "What in the name of God are those things?" This seemed to surprise the blue Acromantulas as they accidentally knocked the mirror toward Tsukiko. Hermione watched in horror as time seemed to slow down as the mirror fell towards Tsukiko, but instead of moving out of the way, Tsukiko put her left arm forward and caught the mirror on the top frame, her knees almost buckled under the weight.

Tsukiko shouted in panic. "Bob, Jack, pull the mirror back, HURRY." It was then Hermione noticed those blue spider like creature were not Acromantula, they fired white threads towards the top of the mirror and use their 'arms' to pull the mirror off Tsukiko and positioned it against the wall. Tsukiko turned towards her looking a little pale and said. "By the Root, Hermione, please don't do that, we almost broke the mirror." Tsukiko then sat down on her bed exhausted, while the Acromantulas lookalike click and whistle at her in rapid pace, almost sound like they were worried about her.

Tsukiko was a little shaken up, the mirror would had broke if it had hit the floor, she managed to use Reinforcement on her whole body to stop the mirror from crushing her, good thing she was holding her wand at the time or this would have been very difficult to explain to Hermione. At least the mirror was safe, both Bob and Jack were chattering away at her, asking if she was all right and apologising for their laps of concentration. Tsukiko said to them in a calm voice. "I'm ok, Bob, Jack. At least the mirror didn't break." This seemed to calm the Tachikomas down.

Tsukiko then saw Hermione said to her in panic. "Tsukiko, I'm sorry, are you all right? What are those things? What's with the mirror? How did you stop the mirror with one hand? You sure you're all right?"

Tsukiko could see Hermione almost hyperventilating and said with amusement. "Hermione, breath, and one question at a time." After she saw Hermione calmed down, Tsukiko said. "Yes I'm ok. Those are Tachikomas. Mirror is just a mirror. I stop the mirror with a feather weight charm, and again, yes, I'm fine."

Hermione seemed to relaxed a bit more and said with curiosity. "Tachikomas? What are they? Did you make them?" Tsukiko thought about this for a moment, Hermione seemed like the jealous sort. She might not take the news, that she made them very well.

Tsukiko decided to lie about them. "My brother Shirou called them Tachikoma, they are a sort of magical construct, or golem. Brother Shirou is a specialist in magical creation like sword, machine, armour, enchanted clothing. The Tachikomas are gifts from him to help me in Hogwarts."

Tsukiko was a bit concerned when she saw stars in Hermione eyes. Hermione said with admiration. "Tsukiko, your brother Shirou must be a genius, he made those golems and your magical cloths. I was really worried when I thought someone like you made those magical creation. You have to introduce me to your brother, there is so much I have to ask him." Tsukiko was a bit angry at Hermione, what does she mean, someone like her? Tsukiko once again controlled her temper, it was better Hermione remained ignorant, she really doesn't want Hermione asking her day in and day out about her magic, better put them on someone else instead. Tsukiko would apologies to Shirou later on.

Tsukiko replied with fake cheer. "sorry Hermione, brother Shirou tend to travel a lot, it might be awhile before I can introduce you to him. Also I would like to introduce you to Bob on my left and Jack on my right, they will be staying with me for the duration of my stay in Hogwarts." The Tachikomas whistled and waved at Hermione in greeting. Hermione smiled and cooed at the Tachikomas.

Hermione was over the moon, magical construct that was intelligent and followed orders. Hermione thought. 'Tsukiko is really lucky to have a brother that can make those magical items for her, including her cloths. Hermione knew it's impossible for Tsukiko to have such advance magic, she's only in first year after all, it was definitely the reason why Tsukiko won't tell her how to use those spells, it's her brother who made them. After all, if it's her, she would have shown Tsukiko and all the professor how to cast those spells if she knew how it's done, she won't have kept it a secret.' Hermione was so happy she almost missed Tsukiko giving order to the Tachikomas.

Tsukiko said to them. "Bob, Jack, start exploring Hogwarts to the best of your ability, if you see something dangerous, retreat and avoid confrontation. Other then that, have fun." Tsukiko smiled at the Tachikomas as they whistled and clicked happily like eager puppies then real Acromantula. They soon opened the door and left the room at high speed, as if they got wheels on their legs.

Hermione watched and thought. 'Wait a moment... THEY do have wheels on their legs!' Hermione really wanted a Tachikoma of her own. Moments later they heard a piercing scream that sounded like a girl, originated from the dorm common room.

Tsukiko almost swore when she heard the scream, she quickly took out a multi colour crystal, shaped in small flat rectangle and said. "Bob, Jack, you both forgot your disillusionment charm, activate your disillusionment charm. Over." A series of click and whistle came from the crystal, Tsukiko was able to relax when she got confirmation from the Tachikomas. Tsukiko quickly changed into her Hogwarts uniform and went to the common room with Hermione following close behind her, It turned out the girly scream came from Ron Weasley, as he cowered in the corner of the common room, muttering in fear about blue Acromantulas. Before Tsukiko could explain and calm Ron down.

Hermione said to Ron. "It's ok Ron, they are not Acromantula, they are Tachikoma, magical construct made by Tsukiko brother Shirou." Tsukiko made a mental note to watch what she say to Hermione, the girl could not keep a secret to save her life.

Ron looked to Tsukiko with horror in his eyes and said with pure fear. "You're brother is mental, why would he make magical construct that look like Acromantula?" Tsukiko was a bit offended by that, she happened to like how she designed the Tachikoma. Tsukiko wanted to defend her creation, but she needs to keep Hermione off her back more then her pride.

Tsukiko lied. "Brother Shirou can be a bit eccentric, but I happen to like the design of the Tachikoma and so did Hermione, by the way she cooed at them." Hermione turned a little red at that comment, while Ron looked horror stricken at her and Hermione.

Ron said to them. "Girls are mental, you're both bloody mental."

Tsukiko ignored Ron comment as she noticed Professor McGonagall approached them.

Professor McGonagall said to her in a neutral tone. "Miss Potter, Professor Dumbledore would like to see you in his office, I will escort you to him. Please follow me." Tsukiko waved goodbye to Ron and Hermione. Tsukiko follow Professor McGonagall through corridors and stairs until they reached a gargoyle statue. Professor McGonagall said to the Gargoyle "Lemon drop". Tsukiko watched as the Gargoyle stepped aside and a spiral stair case came into view. Tsukiko had to control her emotion. In situation like this, she usually resort to her magus personality. She had to keep her current personality up, she could not allow the old goat see her magus personality, it would ruin everything. Tsukiko used the meditation technique papa Shiki taught her, she managed to keep her emotion under control. She knew what the old goat wanted to see her about, and she does not like this at all.

Headmaster office

The headmaster office was a large and circular room filled with noise from various magical instruments. A number of silver instruments sat on spindle legged tables, obviously active by the way they were spinning and shooting out puffs of smoke. The wall was filled with portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses, all of whom were sleeping in their frames. There were also several shelf filled with books and sat on top of one of the shelf was the sorting hat. Tsukiko paid more attention to the current occupants of the room. There the black robe, black hair man that had a perpetual scowl on him at all time, there was the old goat, the sorting hat and the phoenix, it also seemed like professor McGonagall also going to stay at this meeting, as she took her position next to the old goat. Tsukiko silently greeted the sorting hat by nodding slightly towards him, she also noticed the phoenix had taken an interest in her. Tsukiko would had enjoyed the stay and even examined some of the magical artefact, but the topic of the conversation that she knew was going to happen, dampened her enthusiasm.

Tsukiko then heard a voice in her mind. 'Tsukiko-chan, calm down and remember the lessons I taught you about chivalry and diplomacy.' Tsukiko felt a weight lifted from her as she listened to Arturia voice.

Tsukiko thought with surprise and confusion. 'Arturia-oneesan?!'

Arturia replied mirthfully. 'I'm here to keep you company, Tsukiko-chan. You need someone level headed for this, and as much as I love Rin, she was the least suitable for this confrontation. Now back straight, walk with confidence and look your adversaries in the eyes. You have nothing to fear Tsukiko-chan. Show them that you're not the scared little girl that need protection.' Tsukiko felt happy that Arturia would be with her in this meeting, Tsukiko remembered her lessons. Tsukiko stride with confidence and stood before the professors.

Tsukiko watched as the headmaster and professor McGonagall smiled at her, she returned with a fake smile and said. "How may I help you, Professor Dumbledore, I hope I am not in any trouble. This is only my second day at Hogwarts."

Tsukiko watched as the old goat smiled and said to her. "No, Miss Potter. You're not in any trouble. I just wish to know how you are. We have been looking for you since you disappeared almost five years ago."

Tsukiko said with fake cheer. "I have been well fed, educated, and loved by my current family. I have never been more happy in my life since sister Satsuki and brother Lance found me five years ago. They love me very much." Tsukiko noticed the old goat lost some of those twinkle in his eyes, her smile became a bit more genuine and vicious.

Tsukiko heard Arturia said to her. 'Tsukiko-chan, control your body language, your malice is showing.' Tsukiko quickly got her smile under control, but it seemed like the black hair man noticed her slip, and was both intrigue and confused by her. The man soon replaced his curiosity with the same perpetual frown.

The old goat said to her with concern. "Miss Potter, as happy as I am to hear you are well and loved by your current family, I must insist that you return to the Dursley during summer break, they miss you terribly." Tsukiko resisted the anger that was rising within her, with reminder from Arturia and meditation technique from papa Shiki.

Tsukiko said in a neutral tone. "I'm sorry sir, but I will have to refuse, both sister Satsuki and brother Lance have very poor impression of the Dursley. They found them to be the worse sort of people imaginable, and from my own personal experience, they are the worse kind of human being and I rather not spend a single second around them if possible."

Tsukiko watched the expression of the three professors. Professor McGonagall seemed to be conflicted about which side to take. The old goat seemed to have lost more sparkle in his eyes and giving her the 'I am disappointed in you' look. The black hair professor seemed to become even more curious about her.

The old goat said to her in disappointment. "Unfortunately Miss Potter, you don't have a choice in this, as your magical guardian, I get to decide where you stay, and for your own good. You will spend the summer with the Dursley." This time Tsukiko smiled viciously. All three professor caught that smile and seemed slightly unnerved by her expression.

Tsukiko said with malicious joy. "Unfortunately for you sir. Both sister Satsuki and brother Lance are my magical guardians. When Gringotts made them my magical guardians, I remember they also removed my former magical guardian. The head of Gringotts seemed VERY angry with my former magical guardian, but I was only six years old at the time, so I knew very little of what actually transpired." Tsukiko almost laughed when the old goat paled at that information. Tsukiko lied when she said she remembered very little of what actually happened that day. Tsukiko remembered everything, and when she was older. She managed to get more details about what had transpired. Tsukiko was over the moon, getting one up over the old goat. Seemed like he never got the memo from the rat delivery service to inform him, that he had been removed as her magical guardian.

Severus Snape was intrigue by Tsukiko Potter, the young girl before him was acting, her body language, her speech was hiding her disdain and hostility for Dumbledore, the young girl was trained to hide her real emotion, he was only able to pick up one slip from her. This had impressed him, considering he was the head of Slytherin house and he also played double agent since the end of the last war. Severus noticed Dumbledore had not picked up her slip and wondered how the man came to his current position and lived through the First Wizarding War. Severus originally thought Tsukiko Potter was like her father. A show off. Prankster. Attention seeker. She certainly had proven that to him when she came to Hogwarts in elaborate magical disguise, also being sort into Gryffindor did not help his opinion of her, but now, he was unsure how to view Tsukiko Potter, when the headmaster mentioned the Dursley. Tsukiko dropped her mask and become openly hostile against the headmaster. Severus had to rethink his judgement, he might had been fooled since yesterday sorting.

Severus came out of his thought when Tsukiko Potter stood before him and said with that fake smile. "Hello Sir, sorry if I have not introduce myself earlier. I am Tsukiko Potter. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Severus put on a neutral expression and said in a low tone. "Like wise, Miss Potter. I am Severus Snape, but you will refer to me as professor Snape, I will be your potion teacher for the year." Severus noticed Tsukiko eyes widened in surprise when he mentioned his full name, but that expression only lasted a moment.

Tsukiko Potter said to him with a genuine smile and bowed to him. "I look forward to my lesson with you, professor Snape. There is much I like to learn from you." Severus was now truly intrigue, she showed respect to him, but not to Dumbledore or McGonagall. Severus does not know why Tsukiko Potter was surprised to hear his full name. He would need to keep an eye on her.

Albus Dumbledore was in panic, when did Gringotts get involve? Why did they remove him as Tsukiko Potter guardian? Where was the notification? Albus already knew about Tsukiko magical guardians from Hagrid during last night meeting. He was surprised that Minerva already met Tsukiko when she was eight years old and Hagrid met her when she was seven! Albus had to admit her guardians Satsuki Yumizuka and Lance Bazett had done a great job protecting her, but it was not enough, only the blood ward could truly protect her, but without his role as her magical guardian... Albus was in trouble. Albus watched as Tsukiko introduced herself to his potion master, when they had done talking, he said to Tsukiko, trying to keep the panic out of his voice. "Miss Potter, please reconsider this matter, I am only trying to do what is best for you."

Tsukiko smiled and said to him. "As you said, professor Dumbledore, I don't have a choice. My magical guardians decide where I live. It's not me you have to convince, it's my brother and sister you will have to speak to." Albus noticed Severus raised an eyebrow at Tsukiko and smiled a little at her. Before Albus could decipher what it meant, Tsukiko said to him cheerfully. "If that is all professor Dumbledore, I would like to have breakfast before my first lesson starts. Please excuse me" Before Albus could think of something to say to her, Tsukiko already left the office.

Tsukiko was not happy, she had lost control there for a moment, she did not even realize her magus personality showed itself when the old goat said she had no choice and no say in where she live. Tsukiko could only pray that the old goat would not take this as a sign, that she had gone dark. Tsukiko said to Arturia in her mind. 'Sorry, Arturia-oneesan, I lost it there, I didn't even notice I changed personality.'

Arturia replied with concern. 'It's all right Tsukiko-chan, what's done is done. Put this meeting behind you and get something to eat. Hunger is the enemy, you have a long day ahead of you.' Tsukiko smiled at that and head off towards the dining hall.

Arturia was concerned, so was Rin next to her. Arturia removed her hand from the obelisk and said. "Rin, will Tsukiko be all right? You've seen what happened, is that normal?"

Rin was deep in thought and said. "Arturia, normal is not a word I would use on any magus, myself included, Tsukiko-chan magus personality did not appear for no reason, that time, Tsukiko-chan subconsciously used her magus personality when she was threatened, we all know how much damage the Dursley did to her. The thought of being send back to them is no different then a death sentence to Tsukiko-chan."

Arturia with look of frustration said. "Is there nothing we can do? I feel so helpless trap here, not being able to aid Tsukiko-chan when she need us the most."

Rin looked sadden and said. "Arturia, all we can do for now is watch over her and be there for Tsukiko-chan when she need us. I wish there is more we can do." Rin sighed and continued. "Let's go and tell the others what happened, maybe Shiki-san have some advice that might be helpful to Tsukiko-chan."

Albus realized today was going to be a really bad day, he must go to Gringotts today and find out as much as possible on their involvement with Tsukiko Potter and her guardians. Albus could not understand the hostility Tsukiko had for the Dursley, she seemed like such a sweet and obedient girl, but the moment he said she was going back to the Dursley, she changed suddenly. That smile, so full of malice, unsettled him, it was like she was a different person altogether. Had Tsukiko Potter gone dark like Voldemort? No, not possible, she was sorted into Gryffindor, the house of the brave and valour. This change must had come from her interaction with her guardian. Yes, that must be it. He must find out everything he could about Tsukiko guardians and find ways to get Tsukiko Potter under his guidance once more. He stood up and said to Minerva. "Professor McGonagall, I have business at Gringotts it seems, I will leave Hogwarts in your capable hands." He left the office for the nearest floo network.

Minerva McGonagall was having a hard time understanding what had just happened here. She could not believe Albus would send Tsukiko back to those horrible muggles when she's got loving guardians looking after her. Minerva always thought Albus decision to send Tsukiko Potter to her magic hating family to be a bad one, and that was reinforced when she heard Tsukiko was hospitalize for three days before her disappearance five years ago. Those horrible muggles did not even realized she was gone until Albus informed them. Minerva had reluctantly agree to Albus reason for sending her to those muggles, Albus feared the fame as 'The girl who lived' would get to the child, or so he said. This was made pointless when Tsukiko Potter had been hiding in the magical world under their nose the entire time and she turned out just fine, but then Albus just had to go and alienate Tsukiko by saying she had no choice and must return to the Dursley, when she clearly hated them. Was it any wonder she reacted so angrily, Minerva was still unnerved by Tsukiko smile, so full of anger and loathing. Minerva hope Tsukiko had not included her in that angry outburst, she could still remember that meek little girl she met at Flourish & Blotts.

Hogwarts dinning hall

Tsukiko managed to make it to breakfast and caught up with Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindor house. Tsukiko watched with amusement when Hermione positioned herself away from Ron, Hermione decided not to sit next to him or across the table from him. Tsukiko sat next to Hermione and helped herself to two slice of bacon, toast and scramble eggs, Tsukiko preferred coffee in the morning, but it seemed like that was not on the menu, Tsukiko decided to bring her own blend of coffee in the future, what kind of barbaric place was this, no coffee with her breakfast, this was going to be a long day. Hermione was kind enough to give her the class schedule. Tsukiko almost sighed in frustration. There was more breaks in them then classes, Tsukiko was expecting five class per day, even six or seven considering this was a boarding school, but it seemed like wizards and witches was pretty laid back compare to magus.

As Tsukiko finished her breakfast and was about to leave the dinner hall. A boy her age, with slicked blond hair, boarder on silver approached her, he was accompanied by two rather large students, she almost assumed to be upper years, except she remembered them in yesterday sorting.

The blond hair boy introduced himself. "So it's true, you're Tsukiko Potter." The boy said eagerly, Tsukiko had to suppress a groan. Since she got here, Tsukiko noticed many stares and whisper directed at her. She really hope this was not a fan boy, she would never hear the end of it from papa Shiki. Tsukiko only just noticed, many Gryffindor looked at the blond haired boy with disdain, this level of hostility goes above house rivalry.

Tsukiko chose to answer neutrally. "Yes, I am Tsukiko Potter, and you are?"

The blond boy answered with enthusiasm. "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." A choke came from Ron as if he was trying to say something. Tsukiko noticed Draco look annoyingly towards Ron, before Draco could say anything.

Tsukiko admonished Ron. "Ron, eat your food or speak, but not both. You're going to choke if you keep that up." Tsukiko noticed Ron turned pink, but she just smiled back and quickly turned her attention to Draco and said. "So what can I do for you? Mr Malfoy."

Draco smiled and said. "Miss Potter, some wizard families are better then other, you don't want to be making friends with the wrong sort, I can help you there." Draco held out his hand to her.

Tsukiko now understood what Draco wants, a public alliance. Tsukiko said to him with a smile. "Thanks for the offer Draco, but I have to refuse."

Draco Malfoy lost his smile and said with anger. "I'd be careful if I were you Potter."

Tsukiko knew a threat when she heard one and cut Draco off before he could finish. "Mr Malfoy, I think you misunderstood. I cannot accept your offer because both our families are rivals. I may go by the name of Tsukiko Potter, but I am also the heir of the Tohsaka family. If I accept your proposal, you will be in trouble with your father, and I will be in trouble with my head of house." Draco turned pale when the Tohsaka was mentioned, seemed like even Draco was informed about their house rivalry.

Draco quickly withdrew his hand and said with less confidence. "I see, it's a shame, I think we could have gotten along splendidly. Crabbe. Goyle. Let's go and leave those Gryffindor losers." Tsukiko noticed many Gryffindor turned red with anger, including Ron.

Hermione said with curiosity. "Tsukiko, I thought the name Taiga Tohsaka was just an alias."

Ron chipped in, thankfully with no food in his mouth. "What did your family do, to make the Malfoy that scared?"

Tsukiko decided to answer them truthfully. "The Malfoy send some people with dark robe and skull mask to intimidate my sister Satsuki when she was meeting an investor at the Leaky Cauldron, they never reached the meeting, brother Lance send three of them to St Mungo's Hospital with multiple bone fracture and internal haemorrhaging. He kept the leader of the group in good health and tortured some information out of him, I think brother Lance dunked his head into the toilet and said, if he does not cooperate, he would be choking down more then just water. The leader signed a magical oath confessing to the crime and the Malfoy got into a lot of trouble because of that. Not enough to send anyone to Azkaban, but enough to send a message that no one mess with the Tohsaka." Ron, Hermione and many other at the table turned green.

Hermione said with annoyance. "Tsukiko, did you have to describe how your brother tortured one of them?"

Ron added after her. "Tsukiko, I know I already said this many times, your brother is completely bloody mental." Tsukiko just smiled happily, before making her way to her first class in Hogwarts.

Tsukiko first lesson was Herbology, it was actually rather fun learning all the magical fungi and plants. Tsukiko paid special attention to the plant Dittany, the healing property was fascinating. Tsukiko planned to steal a few live specimens and see if she could replicate similar healing property with runes and jewels, or perhaps refining the current potion into something more potent.

Tsukiko was really looking forward to the defence against the dark art, she had hope to learn something that was not covered by her vast repository of books, but she was greatly disappointed. Tsukiko could handle professor Quirrell Sanguivoriphobia, his need to fill the class room with the stench of garlic, even his clumsy obsession with her, but professor Quirrell fake stutter was getting on her nerve, she was about to call the professor out on this, however Rin stopped her. Rin explained to her, that she needed to find out the reason why he was faking his stutter and not accuse him without proof. Tsukiko thought about this for a moment and realized professor Quirrell was not getting anything positive from the stutter, so why do it? Tsukiko decided to leave the issue alone for the time being and kept an eye open on professor Quirrell.

Hogwarts dinner hall

The rest of the day went and gone almost uneventfully. That was until a sandy hair boy blew up his cup of drink, when he tried to change the said liquid into mead. Tsukiko watched with interest and thought he must have messed up his spell, but Tsukiko felt a sense of curiosity from her magus personality, something told her, she need to keep an eye on this boy. Tsukiko was shaken out of her thoughts when three girls approached her, with stars in their eyes, the same kind of stars that Hermione had this morning. Tsukiko inwardly groaned, those three girls before her belong to Ravenclaw.

The Asian girl in the middle introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Cho Chang, the girl on my left is Padma Patil, the girl on my right is Sue Li. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Potter."

The girl Sue Li said to her with barely contained excitement. "Miss Potter, can we examine the Tachikomas, we heard from Hermione about those magical golems that your brother made. We would be forever grateful if we could learn how they work." Tsukiko had to contain her shock and anger. There was no way in hell, she was going to reveal her mystery and let some third-rate wannabe witch examined her hard won mysteries. Tsukiko could not exactly say that to them, so she did the next best thing, just dumped them on Shirou again.

Tsukiko said with concealed annoyance. "I'm sorry, I can't help you on that. The Tachikoma have built in safety device that prevent them from being examined. Brother Shirou also programmed the Tachikomas to fight back if someone try to subdue or examine their magic. You will have to ask for his permission when you meet him." The three girls looked crestfallen but accepted her explanation and bid her farewell. Tsukiko looked heatedly over to Hermione, she would need to have a word with Hermione about the meaning of ownership and privacy.

Gryffindor dorm

Tsukiko closed the door after she and Hermione entered their dorm room. Tsukiko was not happy, with barely contained anger in her voice, she said to Hermione. "Why the hell did you tell the Ravenclaw about the Tachikomas? More to the point, how many people did you tell?" Hermione seemed taken back by her hostility and looked genuinely confused.

Hermione said defensively. "There is nothing wrong with telling other students and professors about them, they are amazing, your brother is amazing and I think everyone should have a Tachikoma." Tsukiko pinched the bridge of her nose. Hermione really could not see what she did wrong here.

Tsukiko patience was running thin, she said to Hermione. "Why? Hermione. Also how many people have you told?"

Hermione regained her posture and said like nothing was wrong. "Because I want to build one myself and I know the Ravenclaw would be smart enough to help me. I also told professor Flitwick, he was amazed and impressed when I told him about the Tachikomas." Hermione was getting excited when she talked about the charm professor.

Tsukiko felt outrage and hiss out. "What MAKE you THINK you have the right to take apart my hard work, MY Tachikomas. Do you have any idea what I went through to make them, the years of research, the amount of Galleon spent, the trials and errors I have gone through, and you tried to team up with Ravenclaw to find out how they work? To steal what is MINE. You are nothing but a THEIF." Tsukiko literally shouted at Hermione at the last sentence. Hermione looked stunned and was on the verge of tears.

Tsukiko almost face palm when she realized what she said. she slipped up, now Hermione knew she created the Tachikomas and lied to her. How did this girl make her so angry? Normally she had better control over her emotion then this.

Hermione felt really upset and realized Tsukiko had lied to her. Her voice trembled with anger and sorrow, she said to Tsukiko. "Why did you lie? Why are you so angry at me? I didn't do anything wrong. I just want to learn as much about magic as I can." As soon as she said those words, she could see Tsukiko face darken with anger.

Hermione felt the ice in Tsukiko voice. "I lied because I don't want you nagging at me about wanting to learn MY magic, originally I lied to save your feeling, because I want to get to know you better." Hermione felt Tsukiko biting words. Tsukiko continued with venom in her voice. "Now I am glad I lied to you, because you would have told anyone about what I am capable of doing. Hermione, when I told you about the Tachikomas, I trusted, you would at least keep their existence within Gryffindor house. Instead, you teamed up with Ravenclaw and tried to steal them from me."

Hermione was convinced Tsukiko was wrong and said defensively. "In every books of magic, wizards and witches were encouraged to spread the teaching of magical advancement, it is selfish to hide your achievement and discovery. You should be helping me and teach everyone else how to make them."

Tsukiko felt truly angry when Hermione said that to her. What the hell does she know? Those books she read were filled with the same propaganda bull shit from the Ministry of Magic, in a poor attempt to encouraged the populace to reveal their discovery for little to no profit to the inventor. Tsukiko directed all her anger at Hermione and said with such malice, she could see Hermione flinch in fear. "You're a naïve little fool. Books lie. History lie. People lie. Anything that was made by the hands of man can lie. If you think those books give you the justification to steal from me, then I suggest you open your eyes and see the real world for what it truly is."

Hermione was really afraid, she never seen anyone so angry before in her life. Before she came to Hogwarts, she was never able to make any friends in kindergarten or primary school, everyone would ignore her for some reason. Instead she would lose herself in books to overcome her loneliness, she had placed her faith and belief in books and authority figures, because there was nothing else beyond them she could place her faith and belief in. Hermione honestly believed Tsukiko would had let her examine the Tachikomas, she thought with help from Ravenclaw they would figure out how to make them, she never thought, what she planned to do, was no different then stealing from Tsukiko. How could books be wrong? What was she suppose to believe in, if she could not depend on her books, the teachers, the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione could feel ice in her stomach as Tsukiko glared at her and said. "Do you really think you're so smart, that you and the Ravenclaw can replicate the Tachikoma? Do you REALLY think that you have the knowledge to put them back together again, after you've taken them apart? Do you think so little of me, that you didn't even ask for my permission before going to the Ravenclaw." Hermione could see tears fall from Tsukiko face. Hermione heart sunk, as she began to realize how upset Tsukiko was with her. Before she could say a single word to Tsukiko, Tsukiko left the room. Hermione felt tears streamed down her face.

Hermione said angrily. "You're wrong Tsukiko. Books are never wrong." as she said this, she could not understand why she felt so miserable and heartbroken.

Tsukiko needed to get away from Hermione before she did something truly regrettable. Tsukiko walk passed Ron and the twins in the common room, before she left the Gryffindor dorm. Tsukiko use Reinforcement on her right fist, with a shout of rage she punched the wall before walking out of the dorm.

Ron almost jumped out of his skin when he heard Tsukiko shouted in anger then punched the wall. Ron saw Tsukiko walked passed him earlier, but hesitated to call out to her when he saw how angry she looked. Ron exchanged a worry glance at Fred and George, Ron was about to go find out what was wrong with Tsukiko when he came to the spot were she punched the wall. Ron paled at what he saw, the wall was cracked and dented, Ron said to his twin brothers. "Might be better if I stay here and let her cool off first." Ron sat back down onto the couch and heard Fred and George whistled impressively at what Tsukiko did to the wall with her fist.

(Line Break)

Tsukiko called one of the Tachikoma to her and had it guide her to the room of requirement. Tsukiko felt her anger and frustration lessened when she cut lose and punched the wall, she hope Lancer would spar with her, most likely he would knock her frustration out along with her. Tsukiko saw Lancer waiting for her in astral form just outside a ridiculous painting of a wizard tried to teach trolls ballet. Lancer always knew when she was upset, apparently the feedback from her command crest not only informed him when she was in danger, it also informed him when she was upset or otherwise distress.

Tsukiko could see Lancer smiled gently at her and said with his ring. 'You all right? Tsukiko-chan.'

Tsukiko replied. 'I will be fine, I just need to hit something to vent my anger, I'm hoping you will spar with me.' Tsukiko knew Lancer would not spar with her when she was distressed. He would only spar with her when she was calm and in control of her emotion.

Tsukiko was surprised when Lancer said to her with amusement. 'I got something better, walk in front of this painting three times and think about what you need the most.' Tsukiko did as Lancer said, a door appeared before her and she entered the room of requirement. Tsukiko had researched the secret rooms of Hogwarts, there was virtually no description of the room, except to say they exist. What Tsukiko saw within the room would had made her cackle with joy, the room had turned itself into her magus testing room, a room she designed for testing volatile and explosive experiments and spells. Tsukiko knew instantly how to vent her anger as wooden dolls begin to appeared through out the room. Tsukiko took out some of her low cost jewels and her wand. Tsukiko smiled happily as she proceed to test out different kind of explosions and volatile spells on her hapless victim.

Headmaster office

Albus Dumbledore staggered into his office, completely drenched in magic water, pale as a ghost, patches of burn marks on his robe and beard. This was his worse Gringotts visit since the day he was born. When Tsukiko Potter said the head of Gringotts was angry at him, he honestly thought she was exaggerating. Albus thought back to his visit today.

(Flash back)

Albus noticed every goblins in Gringotts seemed to take a moment to sneer at him unpleasantly. The reception was horrible, he was placed in a very long queue and when he finally reached the counter, the goblin put up a 'gone to break' sign and forced him into another long queue, this process repeated itself for almost an hour until one of the goblin finally met him. He demanded a meeting with the head of Gringotts, he could not remember his name when asked, he was only a goblin, which seemed to earned him the nastiest sneer from the goblin before him.

Albus Dumbledore was informed that the head goblin was at the lowest level within Gringotts vault, he was led by another goblin to their inferno contraption they called a cart. Albus could had sworn the cart was a lot slower back when he was younger, the goblin always insisted that there was only one setting for speed, it sure did not feel like it at this moment as his beard flew into his face by the speed of the cart and numerous time he was almost thrown off the cart, when they turned a sharp corner, they went through a number of magical water falls that dispel any magic that he might be carrying, even thought once should have been enough instead of eight times. When they finally reached the lowest level, he was locked in a room with a very large Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon, needless to say this meeting turned rather hot for him, as the Ukrainian Ironbelly spewed fire at him. Through both luck and skill, he managed to survive the encounter and exited the lock room only a little singed, his goblin escort seemed disappointed and apologised for sending him into the wrong room, as he was shown the way to the head goblin who handled the training and care for the Ukrainian Ironbelly.

Albus was becoming rather angry, he was sent to the wrong head goblin and now he and his escort had to go back to the Gringotts reception area on the surface. After another eight bouts through the water falls and near death cart run. Albus Dumbledore finally met the head of Gringotts. Albus could see the head goblin was resisting the urge to laugh at him, he ignored the goblin childish attempt to belittle a great wizard like him, he said in a neutral and diplomatic tone. "Master goblin, I, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Supreme Mugwump of the ICW, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and current head master of Hogwarts..." Albus could see the head goblin sneer and roll his eyes at him. "Would like to know why Gringotts have removed myself as Tsukiko Potter magical guardian." Albus had hoped his numerous title would intimidate the goblin.

He watched as the head goblin leaned forward with a nasty smile and said to him. "Albus Dumbledore, you were removed as Tsukiko Potter magical guardian for breaching the term of the Potter's will. The will stated clearly Tsukiko Potter was to NEVER come under the care of the Dursley, and Gringotts take all our contract VERY seriously, especially when some wizard who can't tell Knut from Galleon tried to CHEAT us."

Albus paled, he realized the Gringotts was aware of the Potter's will, also aware that he had send the last Potter to the Dursley. Albus tried to keep the panic in his voice under control. "Master goblin, I hope you're aware that the Potter's will can only be viewed by myself and Tsukiko Potter, you have no right to view or discuss it's content."

The head goblin looked at him angrily and said. "Do NOT lecture me about the wizard laws, I know the content of the contract, because Lily Potter chose me as a witness to the Potter's will and only a Potter can change it's content, and you SIR is a scoundrel and a cheat. If you wish to challenge our decision, then you will have to unseal the Potter's will." Albus became white as bone, he realized Gringotts had got him by the balls, he could not challenge their decision without unsealing the Potter's will, unseal the Potter's will and he would never be able to send Tsukiko Potter to live with the Dursley.

Albus knew he would never win against the Gringotts legally, he would at least find Tsukiko Potter magical guardian, they were literally his last hope of sending her to the Dursley. Gringotts could not refuse him, if he wanted to get in contact with Tsukiko guardian, he said to the head goblin. "I would like to send an official message to Miss Satsuki Yumizuka and Mr Lance Bazett. As the former magical guardian of Tsukiko Potter, It is my right to be able to send them my owl to discuss matter most urgent." Albus had tried to send owl to both guardians, but Gringotts had blocked his owl on their behalf, now he had made an official request, the goblin could not refuse him.

The head goblin sneered at him and said. "I cannot refuse an official request, but know this, we will examine all owls, you or your associate send to Tsukiko Potter guardians. If you wish to contact them, you will have to owl the Gringotts under the name of House Tohsaka."

Albus paled even further when he heard the name of the house, the Tohsaka was a recent family that had come to light, they possessed wealth that said to be even greater then the Malfoy, he tried to recruit them into the Order of the Phoenix, but he could not find any information on them and now he learned Tsukiko Potter and her guardians were members of the House Tohsaka.

The head goblin seemed to take pleasure at his distress as he continued. "Tsukiko Potter is the official heir to the Tohsaka and it's fortune, the Tohsaka have many investments within Gringotts, so it is in our interest to look after the Tohsaka's financial and legal well being. With that out of the way, our meeting is over. Do let the door hit you on the way out."

(Flash back)

Albus sat down on his desk and started to write a letter to House Tohsaka, hopefully he would be able to convince them to send Tsukiko Potter to the Dursley. It was for the greater good that Tsukiko spend time with the Dursley.

(Line Break)

Tsukiko was very happy at this moment, she managed to work the stress out off her system with a few precised and well placed explosions, a few interesting spells that seemed to get more powerful with negative emotion. The room itself was a wonder to behold. It possessed similarity to Reality Marble. Rin explained the concept of reality marble to her once, the manifestation of one's inner world onto reality itself, a person's imagination made real, it required a mind set that was referred to as the 'alien common sense of demons'. Tsukiko theorised that for such event to happen purely through imagination, a person mind must either be able to handle the enormous calculation for such magic to occur or had unparalleled faith and belief so unbelievably powerful that their wish, their imagination was made real through sheer will power. Shirou had never strike her as a smart or clever person, so for him her second theory was the most applicable, she could still remember how depressed Shirou was when she pointed that out to him. The idea that a room that could mould itself to your imagination was too good to pass up, she already got an idea how to extract the room, she would need to buy large amount of demolition charges from the Wild Geese, it would be cheaper then using her jewels and with some luck she would only take out half of Hogwarts trying to extract the room for her study. She would still have to convince Rin to let her blow up Hogwarts for the advancement of magecraft.

Tsukiko was not paying attention when a very short professor greeted her in the corridor, she almost let out an undignified scream that would had Lancer laughing on the floor. Tsukiko quickly composed herself and faced the professor, the professor appeared to be very old, white hair balding at the top and white beard, he was short like goblin and bear some of their features, he wore a green wizard robe. Tsukiko hid her embarrassment. "Hello professor..." Tsukiko realized she does not know his name.

The professor smiled at her and said. "Where are my manner, my name is Filius Flitwick, you may call me professor Flitwick. I will be your charm professor this year, Miss Potter. Also just the person I am looking for, I was on my way to the Gryffindor dorm to meet you, Miss Potter." Tsukiko suppressed a groan. She really hoped she did not have to deal with this, it was easier to refuse Hogwarts students access to the Tachikomas, but a professor was a different matter.

Tsukiko said with a barely suppressed dread. "How may I help you professor Flitwick?"

The Professor suddenly looked embarrassed and said. "Miss Potter, I would like to apologies to you, on behalf of the Ravenclaw house. I saw what happened this evening, those students have no right making such request of you. I have already gave them a lecture and a warning not to ask you for your magic and not to attempt to catch or steal the Tachikoma. I already notified all the house heads and Finch to leave the Tachikomas alone. Professor McGonagall would also be having a word with Miss Granger about her behaviour."

Tsukiko was puzzled and confused as to why professor Flitwick was going through all this trouble for her, she asked. "Professor Flitwick, sorry if I sound presumptuous, but I though Ravenclaw pursue knowledge and learning above everything else, I had assumed you wanted to see me to give permission to let your house examine the Tachikomas."

Professor Flitwick smiled at her and said. "There is a difference between learning and copying. Miss Granger and those three Ravenclaw students was only interested in copying the magic behind the Tachikoma, I am not saying they are not smart enough to accomplish it, but they are only interested in reaching the end goal and would have missed everything in between. That, Miss Potter, is not learning. It is no different then handing in a text book and call the homework done. Also it is wrong to just take someone else's hard work."

Tsukiko was surprised, she honestly thought that everyone in the wizard world would always look for an easy way out like Hermione and those Ravenclaw. What professor Flitwick said was true, if one just copy the Tachikoma, they would have missed all the theory that had gone into their making, the theory of prana interference with electricity, the theory and method of converting prana into electricity efficiently, the method and theory of using jewels to gather ambient mana from the environment. Tsukiko also knew that anyone attempting to copy the Tachikoma would fail spectacularly, without understanding of jewel craft, the chance of some wizard or witch overcharging a jewel was great and that tend to cause massive explosion, she already had a few close call, when she first started training in jewel craft.

Tsukiko was brought out of her thoughts when professor Flitwick gave her a parchment, he said to her. "Miss Potter, those are permission slip for the Tachikomas to roam freely within Hogwarts, they are just legal papers to cover both the owner and the school, please read the document carefully, and if you agree with what it's stated. Then please sign the document." Tsukiko began to read the document before her with meticulous care, Rin had drilled this lesson into her when she was young, being the girl who lived, heir of the Potter and heir of the Tohsaka, there would be unscrupulous people that would take advantage of her. Tsukiko experience with manipulator like the old goat gave her the incentive to watch out for everything, she even used Structural Analysis on all owl mail, food, drink, potion and so on. Tsukiko never let her guard down unless she was either at home or in her work shop. Tsukiko found nothing amiss within the document and signed it. Tsukiko handed the document back to professor Flitwick, he smiled and said to her in amusement. "Miss Potter, look like I won my bet against the other professors."

Tsukiko became confused when professor Flitwick said he won his bet. Professor Flitwick just smiled and showed her the document. Professor Flitwick said to her. "This document only become valid if signed by the true owner of the 'Tachikomas'. This document have the dual function of giving your Tachikomas permission to stay at Hogwarts and other stated benefit, but it also verify ownership of said magical construct, this document was created by goblin, so it only become valid if it was signed by it true owner, or should I say inventor or creator of said object."

Tsukiko paled and said dejectedly. "The goblin concept of true owner, is the person who made the object, if said object parted from the creator, they are considered as 'loan' to the other person no matter how much was paid for said object or any other legal ramification. The only exception to this was, when the said object was passed down to blood relation." Tsukiko thought to herself. 'Oh great, her secret was torn down in less then a day.' Tsukiko already knew that Hermione would blabber to everyone that she made the Tachikoma and now professor Flitwick knew without a doubt that she made the Tachikoma, however none of those actually mattered, as soon as Rin heard about this, how she fell for that trick with the goblin document, Rin would not be happy and she would put her through special remedial lessons or even cut her work shop budget again.

Tsukiko began to feel depressed when she thought about her budget being cut again, professor Flitwick said to her with concern. "Miss Potter are you all right, you look a little pale." Tsukiko knew her secret was blown, she might as well find out what was going to happen now.

Tsukiko hid her despair and said with sarcasm. "Everything is just fine sir, except possibly have the whole school know I can do magic that's not taught in Hogwarts, I am really looking forward to have the entire Ravenclaw, one Gryffindor and possibly a handful of Slytherin trying every trick in the book to find out the secret of my magic, and that's not the worse part, when my sister... I mean head of house find out about this, the punishment will be both terrifying and horrible." Tsukiko shivered at the thought of Rin fake smile.

Tsukiko noticed professor Flitwick laughing at her and he said. "You don't have to worry, Miss Potter. The rest of the staff have agreed to keep your secret, if it was proven that you made the Tachikomas. The bet was just for fun among the staffs, and I must say both Severus and I made a nice little fortune from that bet."

Tsukiko was rather offended and said. "Hey, that mean only two people believe I made the Tachikomas and the rest believed my story that brother Shirou made them, I don't know whether to be upset or glad about this." Tsukiko thought for a moment and said curiously. "Professor Flitwick, why would you and the Hogwarts staff keep my secret? I was under the impression that everyone would want to learn my magic for the greater good of the wizard world."

Tsukiko noticed the professor Flitwick looked rather annoyed and said to her. "Miss Potter, you should know, not every professor agree with those ridiculous code that the Ministry of Magic printed into every books our students bought. The goblin had kept their magic and weapon forging secrets even among themselves, let alone giving those secrets to the Ministry of Magic, and I can say with certainty that many magical family have spells and magic that they keep secret from everyone else, those families are the reason why the Ministry of Magic did not make those 'codes of conduct' into laws, or they would have a rebellion on their hands if they force people to give up their secret spells and magic." Professor Flitwick seemed to regain his sunny disposition and said to her. "You have nothing to worry about Miss Potter, professor McGonagall will have words with Miss Granger to correct her view, after I collect my winning from her, and if anyone give you grief about not teaching them your magic or share your invention, you come straight to me or professor McGonagall, we will straighten them out. Well that's all Miss Potter, I'm looking forward to what you can do in the future. Have a pleasant evening." Tsukiko watched professor Flitwick walk away and thought maybe magical Britain was not such a lost cause after all, as she makes her way to the Gryffindor tower.

Gryffindor Dorm

Tsukiko soon discovered everything was not fine, it seemed Hermione was still very upset with her. Hermione was called away by professor McGonagall later on, she came back later, angry and was on the verge of tears. Both Tsukiko and Hermione went about ignoring each other soon afterwards, just because they shared a dorm room, it does not mean either one of them had to speak to each other or like each other.

Both Fred and George Weasley felt very uncomfortable, they could feel the temperature in the room drop and the cold hostility rising between Tsukiko and Hermione, whatever happened between those two were very serious, they also noticed Ron made a hasty retreat back to the boys dormitory and thought that might be the best idea that Ron had ever came up with.

Tsukiko pretended to go to sleep as she entered her mind scape, so much had happened today, she need a sense of normality and some affection from her mum Arcueid. Tsukiko arrived at the Emiya resident courtyard and was greeted by Arcueid. Tsukiko hugged Arcueid before making their way into the Emiya resident.

Her mum said to her with concern. "How was your day? Tsukiko-chan." Tsukiko became dejected and told her everything that happened today.

Arcueid knew Tsukiko was upset with everything that happened today, she already knew about the headmaster meeting and was still rather angry at the old fool, it made her wonder if Albus Dumbledore knew the full extent of the abuse Tsukiko suffered at the hands of the Dursley. Tsukiko really lost her temper with Hermione and saw what she had done as a betrayal of trust. To Arcueid it was surprising Tsukiko would place enough trust in someone she just met to be hurt by her, it almost reminded her of her own questionable friendship with Ciel, or was it rivalry? The best example would be her hostile friendship with Satsuki. Arcueid did consider her to be a borderline friend and rival, if Satsuki was not after Shiki, then they might just be real friends even if Satsuki was a dead apostle.

Arcueid would never admit it, but she does trust Satsuki with Tsukiko, out of all of them, Satsuki was the most normal, without her, Tsukiko would most likely be a carbon copy of Rin and that would be horrifying. Arcueid motioned for Tsukiko to sit in her lap like she always did a few years ago and embraced her from behind. Arcueid rested her head on Tsukiko shoulder, she said to Tsukiko. "You really liked Hermione, she reminded you of how you were, when you first started to learn about magecraft from Rin-san and Lancer-san. I still remember how you pestered them to teach you everything, how your eyes would shine with wonders and curiosity. I bet you saw that same expression on Hermione when she saw the Tachikoma." Arcueid could see Tsukiko blush pink either from memory of those early days or Hermione expression. Arcueid continued. "Tsukiko-chan, you didn't do anything wrong and you know that, but keep an open mind and an open heart. Forgive Hermione when the time comes, I can tell she isn't a bad person, children's like those in Hogwarts rarely are bad or evil, they are just ignorant and held onto the belief, that was taught to them at an early age. Think about it, ok?" Arcueid could see Tsukiko nodded reluctantly.

Tsukiko was enjoying her time with her mum, when Rin walked in and smiled at her, a cold chill went down her spine when she saw a stack of books in Rin's hands.

Tsukiko felt Arcueid patted her on the head and said. "Well, I guess it's Rin turn now, she made it very clear you need to be re-educated in goblin diplomacy, business and contract." Arcueid put her down onto the tatami floor and left the room.

Tsukiko heard Rin said in a cold icy tone. "Tsukiko-chan, we are going to have a VERY long talk about your meeting today with Mr Flitwick and why we double and triple check all the documents we sign." Tsukiko could see Rin fake smile widens.

Tsukiko with tears in her eyes said with despair. "Rin-oneesan, have mercy, I still have class tomorrow." Rin started cackle like her old mentor Kotomine Kirei.

Hogwarts dinner hall

Last night was hell for Tsukiko, Rin kept her up all night to go through every reading material related to the goblin culture and business, Tsukiko probably knew more about the goblins then even the Gringotts itself, thanks to Rin's torture. Tsukiko pulled out a thermal flask with a minor heat rune carved onto a red garnet to maintain a perfect temperature for her black coffee and poured it into a cup, nothing beat hot coffee in the morning, specially if you pulled an all nighters against your will. Tsukiko noticed Hermione was still ignoring her and gone to the far end of the Gryffindor table away from her. Tsukiko returned the favour and ignored her as well. Tsukiko really had no idea when or how she would forgive Hermione, this was going to be a long year.

The Tachikomas had mapped out a portion of Hogwarts, the moving stairs, trick doors, hidden corridors, a boxed canyon being fought by idiots in red, blue and other coloured armours, thought Lopez and Sheila was rather fun to talk to. They also found a martial artist with weird head band crying about being lost all the time and kept screaming about some guy named Akane Tendo. The Tachikomas were having a blast at Hogwarts. Tachikomas knew their creator would be impressed with their finding when she recalled them.

Tsukiko on the other hand was bored out of her mind, charm lesson was not so bad, the minor spell and theory was way below her real ability, the only good thing about charm so far was the boy Seamus Finnigan. Tsukiko noticed his spells tend to explode unexpectedly, she was very certain that Seamus did everything right and yet his spells still explode quite frequently.

Tsukiko fell asleep in history of magic along with everyone else except Hermione, her books on history of magic was far more accurate then the one being taught by the dead professor.

Tsukiko spend her spare time in room of requirement plotting out control demolition to safely extract the room from Hogwarts or going to her mind scape to spend time with her family.

Tsukiko found out flying lesson wouldn't start until the second week in Hogwarts, why was there a stupid rule of first year not allowed their own broom?

Astronomy could had been better, the old bronze telescope was a joke, Tsukiko determine to make and bring her own mystic code telescope in the future, she just need to bend a few rules and hope Rin won't be too mad at her.

Through out the entire time, Tsukiko and Hermione would ignore each other, not speaking a word to each other or even acknowledge each other.

Everything was pretty normal until her first transfiguration lesson with professor McGonagall. With help from the Tachikomas map, Tsukiko managed to make it to class before anyone else arrived and spotted a tabby black cat. Tsukiko first instinct was to tackle and hug the cat, but the cat avoided her attempt by jumping straight up and glared at her after landing on the professor table, Tsukiko got a strange sensation of being admonished for doing something wrong and smiled sheepishly, she said to the cat. "Sorry about that, old habit dies hard." Tsukiko felt the cat glared at her even more and saw the cat lift a paw and pointed at a seat. Tsukiko hurried over there and sat down before getting into more trouble with Miss kitty. The rest of the students soon arrived. Ron and Seamus arrived late.

Ron looked relieved and said to Seamus. "Wheww, look like professor McGonagall ain't here yet." just as Ron said that, the tabby black cat morphed into professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall said to Ron and Seamus with a hint of annoyance. "Mr Weasley, Mr Finnigan. Maybe I should transfigure one of you into a pocket watch, so you will know when to come to class on time, now sit, so we can begin."

Tsukiko turned a bit red as she realized that she almost tackled and hugged professor McGonagall, that would had been very embarrassing for both of them if she had succeeded, she just couldn't resist cute animal like cats.

Tsukiko paid attention to what professor McGonagall said to the class. "Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back, you have been warned." Tsukiko watched professor McGonagall turned the table into a pig and changed it back again, she was fascinated by this branch of magic, the idea one could change an object into anything you desire, it would be one step closer to what she need in the resurrection project if she could make it permanent. Tsukiko was determined to ask professor McGonagall if there was a way to make transfiguration permanent. Everyone in class was told they would not attempt the level of transfiguration of changing a whole furniture into something else, they would start by changing a match stick into sewing needle instead. Tsukiko along with everyone else in class took down complicated notes before making the attempt.

Tsukiko theorised one must understand the composition of the matchstick and that of a needle, with help from incantation and wand movement, it make transfiguration a lot more easier then just 'self hypnosis' from the magus training. Tsukiko got two advantage other student does not. 'Structural Analysis' gave her a complete understanding of the object she touches, it was not on the same level as Shirou, who could analyse the history of the object and every stage of it's creation, but it was enough for what she needed. Secondly 'Self Hypnosis', a magus must believe in the mystery he or she create, it was the absolute basic in magecraft, without it, magecraft would not work, Shirou triggered his 'self hypnosis' with aria of 'Trace on', he also had further aria that strengthen and increase the power of his unique magecraft.

Tsukiko was different, she had no worded aria for triggering her mystery, her only trigger was the mental image of a single drop of water upon the endless ocean. Tsukiko never found a reason to develop her Aria, since all her skills was focused on research and item creation. Tsukiko realized she does not possess awesome one liner like Lancers 'Gae Bolg' and Arturia 'Excalibur' or long Aria that could bring about an almost 'true magic' like Shirou's Reality Marble. Tsukiko suddenly felt rather depressed when she compared herself to her family.

Tsukiko ignored her inferiority complex and cast the transfiguration spell to turn her match stick into needle, she got it right on the first go. Tsukiko realized her mistake far too late, she was not suppose to get this spell right in one go, before Tsukiko could change it back into a match stick.

Professor McGonagall said with shock and awe. "Fifteen points to Gryffindor for successful transfiguration on first try. Well done Miss Potter." Tsukiko thought 'For the love of Root', everyone was looking at her.

Tsukiko said sheepishly. "Beginners luck." Tsukiko could feel an icy glare from Hermione and promptly ignored her.

Tsukiko no longer needed to practice on this transfiguration, while everyone were still practising and trying to change their matchstick into needle, she raised her hand.

Professor McGonagall said to her. "Yes Miss Potter?"

Tsukiko said. "Professor McGonagall, is there anyway to make transfiguration permanent." Tsukiko tried to find information on permanent transfiguration, apparently such magic breaks two of five of Principal Exceptions to Gamp's Law.

Professor McGonagall said to Tsukiko with curiosity. "Miss Potter, that is a very unusual question. There is an obscure branch of magic call Transmutation or Alchemy, but it's a lost magic, some called it an art. The last and only practitioner of this magic was Nicolas Flamel."

Tsukiko unintentionally interrupted. "Also the creator of the Philosopher's stone." Tsukiko already searched for every books on transmutation and the Philosopher's stone, both only gave her either a short and useless description of the lost art or outright lies. Tsukiko found almost no information at all on this magic then a single practitioner. Nicolas Flamel.

Tsukiko was brought out of her thought when professor McGonagall said in awe. "That is correct, Miss Potter."

Tsukiko replied sheepishly. "I just happen to read a lot." like several national library worth of books. The rest of the day was normal, if one excluded the whispers and cold fury from a certain bushy hair girl.

Friday morning, Tsukiko was enjoying breakfast when hundred of owls, some raven and other birds, delivered letters and parcels to the students. A letter drop onto Tsukiko head, Tsukiko said to Hedwig. "That's pay back for this morning, go on, you can have the bacon." Hedwig ate the bacon on Tsukiko plate. Tsukiko did not like the idea of using Hedwig to deliver false letters to Satsuki and Lancer, but in the end she had chosen to be safe then sorry. Hedwig seemed a little upset by her choice and even bickered with the Tachikomas about who's job it was to deliver her letter. Tsukiko taken almost an hour at the Owlery just trying to convince Hedwig to go along with the plan. Tsukiko opened the letter, it was from Hagrid.

'Dear Tsukiko'

'I know you get Friday afternoon off, so would you like to come and have a cup of tea with me around three? I want to hear all about your first week. Send us an answer back with Hedwig.'

'Hagrid'

Tsukiko was happy to get a letter from Hagrid, but also annoyed, because this could ruin her plan for today, she decided to say yes and apologies later if her plan works. Tsukiko got an idea and said to Ron and Neville. "Ron. Neville. I got a invitation for tea with Hagrid, like to come along?" Both of them happily agreed to accompany her to Hagrid. Tsukiko felt bad for Hagrid and Neville, not so much for Ron. Tsukiko noticed Ron tend to go to Hermione for help with his homework, for some reason he was trying very hard to be friends with Hermione and herself, even knowing they don't get along, if not the reason why they don't get along.

Through out the week, Tsukiko noticed no one else bothered her about the Tachikomas or even realized she was their creator, Tsukiko noticed, no one except for the three Ravenclaw girls from before paid any attention to what she does. The Tachikomas also informed her that only three girls from Ravenclaw seemed to be actively looking for them. Tsukiko thought to herself, could it be that Hermione kept her secret? It was hard to believe for Tsukiko, that Hermione was capable of keeping any secret, she put that thought away for another time.

Tsukiko along with astralised Lancer made their way to the potion class, Tsukiko got Lancer to come along as contingency, for this part of her plan and last request from her birth mother, Tsukiko would risk her most prized possession, if something goes wrong, Lancer would be her backup plan. As Tsukiko thought about every step of her plan. Many of her class mate complained about how professor Snape favoured the Slytherin and actively deduct points from the other houses specially Gryffindor. Tsukiko honestly might had cared if she did not see the whole house rivalry as a complete farce. Tsukiko waited outside the potion class along with rest of Gryffindor and Slytherin first year, she really could not understand what kind of moron would put two conflicting houses together in the same class and not expect them to hex each other, the tension between the two rival house ran high, before anything could happen. Professor Snape strode passed them and opened the door to the potion class.

Tsukiko along with everyone else followed the professor. Gryffindor sat on the right side, Slytherin on the left, Tsukiko sat almost to the middle, because she wanted to stay as far away from Hermione as she could.

Severus was intrigued, a few days ago, he had won a bet along with professor Flitwick on Miss Potter being the inventor of those blue Acromantula golem named 'Tachikoma'. He was impressed when he found those construct and observed them along with professor Flitwick, the way they moved, the way they conversed with each other. He was able to identify their sticking charm and disillusionment charm, but the magic that animated them and gave them intelligence eluded him. Severus had to admit, Miss Potter must had put in a lot of effort and hard work to make those golems, unlike her father who was a lazy and malicious bully. Severus along with all the other professors was puzzled as to why Miss Potter had hidden her skill. Professor McGonagall thought Miss Potter was being considerate of other students feeling, many thought she does not want the attention and hassle, but Severus thought there was something more at work here, he was there when Miss Potter took off her mask and became openly hostile, he still found that smile disturbing, it was almost like she was another person and the Potter they saw everyday was nothing more then a front of her real self. Severus planned to observe Miss Potter and find out what was really going on behind that mask.

Tsukiko paid attention to the potion class. Tsukiko genuinely wanted to learn how to brew potions and invent new potions, the Felix Felicis proved to her how truly amazing some potion could be and if she could find a correlation between this specific potion and her jewel craft, she could effectively create a luck jewel, she might even cure Lancer of his E-rank luck.

Tsukiko was brought out of her thought when professor Snape said. "Ah yes, Tsukiko Potter. Our new... celebrity." Tsukiko almost panicked, does professor Snape knew what she did in Hungary? She really hope no one here know what happened in Hungry when she was eight years old. Tsukiko got herself under control before she came under suspicion, she noticed the Malfoy heir along with his two gorillas laughed at her. Professor Snape continued his register.

Tsukiko ignored Malfoy and his goons, as she focused on what professor Snape said next. "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion making, as there is little foolish wand waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creeps through the human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually teach." Tsukiko found the speech inspirational, the way professor Snape captured the attention of everyone in class, subtle warning how dangerous potion could be, which she already knew due to the Felix Felicis incident.

Severus could see almost everyone paid rapt attention to him after his speech, the bushy hair girl seemed to be hyperventilating, he would need to keep an eye on her, he really doesn't need student fainting in the middle of his class. Hufflepuff had already given him headache every time they faint in his class. Severus noticed Tsukiko Potter paid exceptional amount of attention to what he said, there was no fear or panic, but genuine enthusiasm and desire to learn. Severus would test her knowledge, see how much she knew. He raised his voice with a tone of intimidation. "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?."

Tsukiko answered without hesitation. "Draught of living death, professor Snape."

Severus continued. "Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar." Severus noticed the bushy hair girl raised her hand despite him calling Tsukiko by name.

Tsukiko answered him. "Within the stomach of a goat, sir."

Severus looked at Tsukiko with approval and said. "Potter. What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane." Before Tsukiko could answer.

The bushy hair girl shouted. "Monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, they also go by the name of aconite."

Severus looked annoyingly at the girl who shouted out the answer and said to her with tone of anger and disapproval. He said to the girl. "Five points from Gryffindor. Miss Granger if I want an answer from you, I will ask for them. If you interrupt again, it will be ten points from Gryffindor and detention with me." He ignored the Granger girl, who was on the verge of tears and turned his attention to Tsukiko, who seemed to ignore her fellow class mate and focusing on him, unlike most Gryffindor in class who glared at him with anger and disdain, she looked at him with indifference and... amusement? That was quickly covered up with indifference once again. Severus decided to throw out one last question, he was sure Tsukiko will not be able to answer. "Potter. What are the effect and drawback of Felix Felicis." Severus noticed a twitch under Tsukiko left eye, signify annoyance.

She replied. "Felix Felicis also know as 'liquid luck', one vial give the user around twelve hours of extreme good luck, however the drawback of this potion, it also makes the user appeared to be under the effect of insanity potion. Overuse can also cause giddiness and reckless behaviours. They can also be extremely toxic if taken in large quantity."

Severus was shocked, he did not expect such a detail answer and said. "Ten point to Gryffindor for advance knowledge in potion." Severus almost kicked himself when he realized he just gave points to Gryffindor, he noticed everyone was starring at him in shock, he said to them with annoyance. "and why aren't you all copying that down?" he soon heard a rustle of quills and parchments.

Tsukiko was paired with Neville to make a simple cure boils potion, she paid attention to the steps of making the potion, and was able to stop Neville from adding the porcupine quills while the cauldron was still on the fire. Tsukiko explained to him that would cause a nasty reaction, which would had covered both of them in acid. Tsukiko had spend a lot of time keeping Neville from blowing up the potion and was only able to make her potion to an acceptable standard, as everyone was handing in their potions.

Tsukiko pretended to slip up and smashed her potion and she got her expected reaction from professor Snape. "Potter! You clumsy child, ten points from Gryffindor and detention with me straight after class."

As soon as professor Snape turned around, she said to an angry Ron and a frighten Neville. "Tell Hagrid I can't make it to tea, I will see you guys later."

Tsukiko watched everyone leave, when they were alone. Professor Snape spoke to her in a neutral tone. "You can stop pretending now, Miss Potter. I don't know who taught you how to lie and fake emotion, they might suffice in fooling the like of Dumbledore and McGonagall , but they are amateur compare to me. Now. Tell me why you slip on purpose and wish to see me alone."

Tsukiko let out a genuine smile as her magus personality reasserted itself, she said to the professor with respect. "Sir, I would like to ask if you have seen the Potter's will." Tsukiko got two options, in the unlikely event that the old goat let Severus see the will, and he still followed him after that. Tsukiko would brand him an enemy and seek an appropriate time to eliminate him, if he had no knowledge of the will, then she would proceed to recruit him, Root knew she need all the allies she could find in this hell hole.

Professor Snape replied in a neutral tone. "No I have not, Miss Potter. There was no reason for me to see the Potter's will nor was I shown the will either. If that is all, you can start by cleaning all the cauldrons."

Tsukiko relaxed a bit and said. "Sir, I have a message for you, that you need to see. It was meant for you." Tsukiko took out the recording crystal and said. "Menu"

Severus was intrigued and fascinated with the artefact Tsukiko had brought out. The crystal square floated before him with a display projected before him.

Severus noticed a tinge of sadness in Tsukiko voice. "Sir, when you are ready, please press thirty-first of October on the screen, I will wait outside, call me when you're done." Severus was shocked, that was the day Lily died, what could the message be? Severus watched Tsukiko leave the class room and tap the section of the screen with thirty-first of October.

Lancer stayed behind as a silent observer, he would gauge Severus Snape reaction and judge if Tsukiko could trust him. Lancer understood Tsukiko wish to pass on the last message of her birth mother, her only memory of her birth family was within that crystal, it was all she had left of them. Lancer observed the stoic man watch the recording in silence. Lancer would had thought him heartless and uncaring if not for a single tear from his left eye. When the recording ended, the stoic man broke down and apologised to Lily over and over again. Lancer now understood the depth of Severus Snape love for Lily Potter. Lancer informed Tsukiko, she could trust Severus Snape.

Tsukiko waited outside the potion class, it was ten minutes later before professor Snape called her back in. Tsukiko returned to the room and waited.

Professor Snape said to her. "Your detention will resume on Monday, take your recording crystal and you may leave." Tsukiko took the crystal, when she was about to leave the room with Lancer. Professor Snape said to her hesitantly. "Miss Potter... thank you."

Tsukiko smiled and replied. "Your welcome. Sir." Tsukiko left the room and head toward Hagrid hut, she might still make it, if she hurry.

Tsukiko arrived at Hagrid hut a little after three in the afternoon, she found Ron buried under Fang and being licked like his favourite lollipop, Neville tried to chew on what appeared to be a rock hard cake. Tsukiko stayed and had tea with Hagrid, she avoided the cake by saying she was on a diet designed by her sister Satsuki.

Tsukiko discovered Hagrid had plenty of insight about magical creature, some she didn't even know of. Tsukiko along with Ron and Neville parted way with Hagrid and made their way back to Hogwarts. Tsukiko used Tergeo Charm on Ron and got rid of the dog spittle, they soon parted ways when they arrived at Hogwarts.

Tsukiko waited until Hermione had fallen asleep, she and Lancer made their way towards the mirror Tsukiko set up. Tsukiko activated the mystic code mirror and step through with Lancer just behind her, it was like step through cold water, it was still a lot more comfortable then using Floo networks or apparate. Tsukiko along with Lancer arrived at her bedroom within the manor and made their way to the living room, as soon as Tsukiko saw Satsuki, she hugged her sister. Tsukiko told Satsuki about her adventure at Hogwarts and what happened on the first week.

Lancer just smiled at the happy scene before him, Satsuki and Tsukiko looked really happy together, he would stay for a time being, then go out for beer tomorrow.

(Line break)

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. Severus stood before the grave of his love, Lily Potter. His hatred, his rivalry with James Potter temporary forgotten. As he paid his respect for the first time since the Potters passed away, back then he could not face his guilt and shame, for he was partially responsible for their death, he even used his hatred for James Potter as justification for not visiting Lily grave, but now he had to come here, he felt the need to apologise to her. Severus was shocked when he saw that last recording of Lily, his beloved Lily apologising to him, asking him of all people to be her daughter magical guardian. In truth it was he who needed to apologies, he does not deserve her forgiveness, it was because of him, Voldemort learned of the prophesy, it was because of him, the Potters became his target. At that time he begged Dumbledore to save the Potters, to protect them, he gave his allegiance, he played double agent, and it was all for nought. His love and her husband dead, the daughter was spirited away to Petunia Dursley. A truly vile woman that hated anything abnormal, at the time he was reluctant for Tsukiko going to that horrid woman, but Dumbledore convinced him, it was for the greater good.

Severus now knew he had trusted the wrong man once again. Dumbledore must had known Lily appointed him as Tsukiko magical guardian, he would had taken her in, if he had known. Instead Dumbledore had chose to believe Tsukiko was safer with the Dursley and the blood ward, then in his care. Severus was furious with Dumbledore for keeping something so important from him, for years he thought Lily hated him and for years after her death, he mourned for her, believing that she would never forgive him. Severus knelt down before Lily grave and said with sadness. "Lily, I am so sorry, I have fail you yet again. I did not know about the Potter's will or your wish for me to be your daughter's magical guardian."

Severus with tears in his eyes said. "I swear to you on my magic and my life, I will protect Tsukiko from Voldemort and his death eater, I will protect her from Dumbledore and his ilk. I will never fail you again." Severus tears fell onto the ground as he said. "You should have seen her. Tsukiko has a brilliant mind, and a prodigy in spell crafting. She made sentient magical golem that looked like Acromantula, you would have been proud of her." A long stretch of silence followed before Severus said sombrely. "It should have been you to watch her grow up into the lovely girl she is today. Lily. I don't deserve your forgiveness, I don't deserve to be forgiven, but rest assure, Tsukiko will be safe, I will die before letting any harm come to her." Severus stood up and paid his final respect before leaving the cemetery behind. Unbeknown to him a single white lily bloomed before the Potters grave.

deathgeonous: English is actually my second language, Chinese being my first. I actually written this fic, not making any distinction between pass, present or future tense. I manage to get a lovely book called English Grammar Today by Cambridge, it's a 400 page book on Grammar alone, hope there will be improvement in the future.

Rydan fall: My grammar mistake have been duly noted and correction will happen, it will take awhile before I manage perfect grammar. As for your idea. That's ALOT of ideas, you should try making your own fic. I will answer as many as I can. Combination of room of requirement and Tsukiko rune base gaming system. Remember this is 1991, Playstation did not get released till another one or two years later. Tsukiko idea of games was Tetris and Columns. Her idea of an action game would be Mario Brothers or Sonic the hedgehog, I can honestly say Rin will never allow Tsukiko to unleash those horror into Hogwarts. Zel didn't make any mistake, in fact everything is going according to plan and that is all I am going to say without revealing the plots.

Mwkillkenny84: Hermione vision is one of my way of showing my reader what might happen in the future. Sorry if anyone didn't like the prophetic dream and so on. Will all the soul within Tsukiko be released? You have to wait and find out. By the way it's five not four and you will have some answer when year one ends, that's all I am going to say. Also Kirei and troll nun will have a place in my fic, but that wont happen for a very long time. Satsuki is way too old for Hogwarts, but the Elder wand do like her.

Skelo: Thanks for the point out, they will be corrected. BTW dream is my way of giving my reader a glimpse of what might happen in the future and my way of giving out clues to future plots. As for Millennium Castle Brunestud... It's a secret.

Kokuryu-Oh: the scavenging ground wont happen for a little while, as for Hermione personality, it's neither blue or red. It's another plot that will happen in the future, stay tune and find out.

ultimate-owner: the soldier was just a soldier, he didn't even know he killed the second greatest dark wizard of all time.

Sonsuka: This chapter should be to your liking. The Trio idea will never happen, Tsukiko will never trust Ron or any Weasley as long as the betroth contract exist or Dumbledore remain alive. Hermione, I will keep around, her story and growth will almost be as good as Tsukiko. Ron wont show his prat side until around third or fourth year. When I made this fic, I tried not to let my bias and judgement of their future action in canon effect the current character. There will be game changing event at the end of year one and two that will dramatically change Hermione outlook.

Raidentensho: Well, I actually got a REALLY crazy idea in year three, that I will put to good use, I already mentioned Tsukiko was hopeless when Rin tried to teach her the concept of second true magic. The whole thing just goes over her head.

I will answer as many review as I can to the best of my ability. I might even fill in a request or two if I like them, like synthetic diamond as a power source or Halo being a future possibility, I will leave that one as guess work. See if my reader can figure out what I got plan for the future. I thank all the review, keep them coming, I will do my best to push the next chapter out and answer everything.
