Chapter 11 – Year two. Tohsaka arrival

Here is the start of year two. This chapter will contain a lot of world building. How RWBY is integrated into my fic. This chapter will cover some of the history and heritage of the American Magical and their descendant. Weapon, power, magic and the enemies of RWBY will be covered in later chapters. This chapter was suppose to be 18000 words but it end up as 23000.

Also a reminder. I do not own ANY of the story I used for this fic.

46a Craigdarragh Road, Helens Bay

Tsukiko woken up groggily and found herself tied to a chair that was bolted to the floor. She woken herself up quickly and looked around the room, wondered what had happened, a bright lamp was then turned on in front of her, illuminated the metal table in front of her, sat opposite of her was Rin with a horrible fake smile and Arctic cold aura surrounded her whole being, sat beside her was Arturia and Satsuki, Arturia looked at her apologetically and tried very hard to avoid eye contact with her. Satsuki on the other hand looked like she wanted to run as far away as possible from everyone.

Rin said to Tsukiko with a tone filled with mirth and sarcasm. "Tsukiko-chan, care to explain this to me." Tsukiko paled when she saw Rin held up a piece of paper that detailed all the transaction of the expedition team she funded for three years. Tsukiko broke out in cold sweat when she saw the total figure at the end. Rin said to her with a slight tone of anger on top of her mirth and sarcasm. "How in the Root did you spend close to one million Galleon?! Tsukiko-chan, do you have any idea what was going through my mind when I saw one million Galleon of spending, that was cleverly hidden from the account book? It made me extremely paranoid that I decided to check everyone else's spending, I found Satsuki-chan has a habit of going to host club in Japan and always drink with men that looked like Shiki-san." At this point Satsuki turned bright red and was in tears, she was about to say something to Rin, but was silenced with a single glare from Rin. She continued. "Lancer bought expensive fishing rod and gears from famous companies like Penn, Fenwick. Etc. Etc. which I don't really care. Satsuki and Lancer can have their hobbies as long as I know what they are doing." Rin stood up and got uncomfortably close to her face to face and continued. "However. When someone spend close to a million Galleon and I was kept in the dark as to what it is, you can see why I am getting a BIT angry."

Tsukiko was going to inform Rin eventually, when she completed all her finding and managed to get into Rin good grace, preferably when Rin was VERY drunk and happy. This was not the best scenario for Tsukiko. She said to Rin with a tone fear in her voice. "Rin-oneesan. I promise you the money is very well spent and there is nothing to worry about. Can you please untie me, those ropes are starting to chafe..." Tsukiko could see an angry twitch under Rin left eye.

Rin turned toward Arturia and said to her. "Arturia dear, can you bring me my whips, the wooden horse, also the ball and chain shackles that I ordered two days ago. I think I will put them to good use right now."

Tsukiko paled and said with haste. "Wait! Wait! The one million Galleon was spent over a three years period on an expedition team to find a VERY useful artefact. They found it, but I'm still exploring all it's mysteries. I was going to tell you about it when I found out all it's function, I swear!"

Rin glared at her and said imperiously. "Explain it to me in details. Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko explained with as much confidence as she could muster. "Through out the years, I came across text and reference to an artefact that was capable of transmuting uncut or flawed gems into more acceptable size and cut gem stones. I found a prototype over three years ago in Egypt, a merchant was selling several wares, he must not had realized it's true worth, as I bought it off him at a rather good bargain. The artefact I bought off the merchant was a prototype of the original, I found out a great deal about the artefact with Shirou-oniisan structural analysis, I also found out this prototype was inferior to the original by a VERY large margin."

Tsukiko was cut off by Rin, she sighed and said with annoyance. "Tsukiko-chan. You can make perfect gem using alteration and transmutation magic. I got magic that allow me to create a perfect gems and there were at least a dozen spells in our library that would allow us to do the same. I really hope you have not spend a million Galleon on this. I taught you better then that. Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko huffed and said with annoyance. "I know that! Rin-oneesan. However all the gems that get transmuted in such method cannot be used as prana jewels. The prototype was able to merge and create higher quality gem stone that retained it's prana storing capacity. When I discovered this peculiar trait, I decided to seek out the original and we found it last Christmas. It worked beyond my wildest expectations."

Rin was shocked and flabbergasted. An artefact that could transmute worthless uncut gems into flawed gems and still retain it's prana storing capacity would open all kinds of possibility. Even her rival Luviagelita Edelfelt ability to pulled gems from other dimension would pale in comparison to this artefact, considered the gems Luvia pulled from the other dimension could not be used as prana jewels. Rin said to Tsukiko with hidden excitement and expectations. "What have you found out so far? Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko said with a smile and a tone of excitement. "The artefact, the original can transmute gem stones to 'Perfect' cut and 'Perfect' quality, as long as you have uncut or other quality gems and the prana to activate the artefact, it can make them as big as the artefact could hold, which is one foot by one foot square. So in theory, with enough uncut or poor quality ruby, we can make a perfect ruby that's the size of a persons head and it will still retain it's ability to store prana. Also gems that cannot be used as prana gems, will become usable as prana gems when they get transmuted within the artefact." Rin's jaw almost hit the floor, she gone up to Tsukiko, untied her and hugged her passionately with a VERY big smile.

Rin said to Tsukiko with approval and praise. "Well done! Tsukiko-chan. With this artefact, we can make perfect prana gems at a dirt cheap cost. We can resell those gems at almost a thousand fold... no, ten thousand fold profit. What's the name of this beautiful artefact."

Tsukiko said with a smile. "I have to translate it from a long forgotten language. It's called the Horadric Cube. It was made during the age of the Gods, I can't get the detail of how it was made or all it's function, I tried structural analysis, but I get a headache every time." Rin pondered where she heard the name Horadric from, it sounded very familiar. However that was not important right now.

Rin said to Tsukiko with a smile. "Then I will take a look at it. As your master. I am officially turning the Horadric Cube project as a joint project between us."

Tsukiko eyes widened in shock and she said in panic. "But Rin-oneesan. Horadric Cube is my project, you can't just..."

Rin said to her in a deathly cold tone. "I can't what? Tsukiko-chan."

Tsukiko with tears of defeat said in resignation. "I will be more then happy to assist you, Master."

Rin then said to her with dollar sign in her eyes. "So how many gems can we make per day? How much prana does this cube use? Do you need any specialization to use it?"

Tsukiko answered to the best of her ability. "I'm not sure, the quality and cuts of the gems determine how much prana is needed to transmute. Also the type of gems can effect how much prana is needed to transmute them. As long as you have prana, you can use the cube. You don't need specialist knowledge to use it, except knowing what to throw into the cube." Tsukiko noticed Rin smile widened and looked over to Arturia.

Rin said with glee. "Then Arturia will be in charge of making prana gems using the Horadric Cube. Since Arturia has nearly twice more prana then you do, at almost twelve thousand prana thanks to her dragon core. She will be able to make ALOT of prana gems for us." Tsukiko had the same smile as Rin, neither noticed Arturia was in a cloud of despair due to their scheming.

Tsukiko asked Rin curiously. "What will you be doing Rin-oneesan? Would you need the Tohsaka crest back?"

Rin said to her. "I will need to set up a new workshop. There is a few ruined castle near some prominent ley lines. I might set up my work shop on one of them. As for the Tohsaka crest, you hold onto them for now."

Tsukiko was puzzled. All magus treasured their magic crests, it was passed down from one generation to the next, crystallization of knowledge that dictated the worth of that magus family and Rin told her to hold onto it for her. Tsukiko got suspicious and asked. "Rin-oneesan. Why do you want me to hold onto the crest, I thought you would want it back as soon as possible." Rin tapped her lower lip and smiled mischievously.

Rin said to her. "Tsukiko-chan. You have five times more prana at your disposal then I do. The Tohsaka crest improve your efficiency at transferring prana to jewel, close to one hundred percent. I can transfer a hundred percent prana into any prana jewel, even without the crest." Tsukiko paled at the realization as Rin continued. "However your efficiency will drop drastically if we remove the Tohsaka crest. So I need you to keep hold of them and charge up as many jewels as possible everyday." Tsukiko cried beside Arturia. She was nothing more then a glorified recharger, to filled up prana gems everyday for Rin. While Arturia was being used as a power source for the Horadric Cube to make more prana gems to use or sell. Rin cackled with glee in the background as Tsukiko and Arturia cried at their misfortune of leaving Rin in charge of everything.

Gringotts Bank

Tsukiko along with Rin and Arturia were waiting in the reception area of Gringotts. It had only been a week or so since Rin and Arturia resurrection. Satsuki had immediately contacted Gringotts for documents and contracts to ensure Rin and Arturia safety. It had taken almost a week for Gringotts to get the ritual and magical contracts, that would be needed to make Rin and Arturia emancipated minors for their respective house. Tsukiko unintentional mistakes that had brought them both back as children instead of adult had caused some serious problem. The nobles of British magical or even the Ministry of Magic could take them in by law. The old goat could even arrange betroth contracts for Rin and Arturia, Root knew he tried and succeeded with her already. The last thing they want was for either or both Rin and Arturia get betroth contracts with the Weasley or other 'Light' families. Gringotts assured them that there would be wards and protection against those attempts. Today they would signed the magical contracts as emancipated minor and complete the ritual that would protect them from been 'married' off or 'adopted'.

Tsukiko along with Rin and Arturia was greeted by Ragnuk the second. He said to them. "It's always good to see you Miss Potter. Everything is ready, all we need now is to confirm the identity of your two guests with lineage paper. Then we can proceed with the contracts and the rituals."

Tsukiko replied with a smile. "Thank you Chief Ragnuk. You will be properly compensated for all this. Allow me to properly introduce you to my sisters. Rin Tohsaka and Arturia Pendragon." Both Rin and Arturia bowed to Ragnuk with respect.

Rin said to them. "I will go first." Rin approached Ragnuk desk where he drew a drop of Rin's blood with his dagger. The blood was dropped on the parchment and revealed the Tohsaka family tree.

Rin had to control her expression and anger when her father's name Tokiomi Tohsaka appeared on the lineage paper. Her hatred toward her father had not lessened over the years. However that was soon replaced with sadness when the name of her sister Sakura Matou and her mother Aoi Tohsaka appeared on the paper.

Ragnuk the second said to her. "Everything appears to be in order. With this we can enforce the ritual and the contract. By the end of today, you will be the head of house Tohsaka. Congratulation, Miss Tohsaka."

Rin said with a smile. "Thank you. Chief Ragnuk. As of today, a new age of prosperity will begin for house Tohsaka and the Goblin Nation."

Ragnuk smiled at her and said. "I look forward to it. Miss Tohsaka."

Tsukiko watched as Arturia walked up to the desk. Tsukiko said to Ragnuk the second. "Chief Ragnuk. You might want a couple of guards to stand behind you for this one." Ragnuk looked slightly confused, but motioned for two guard to stand behind him. Ragnuk drew a drop of blood from Arturia. The blood fell onto the parchment. There was a long moment of silent as Ragnuk looked at the parchment in shocked awe along with his guards, all three fainted at the same time. Tsukiko sighed and said. "I knew that was going to happen."

It took about ten minutes before Ragnuk the second and his guards woken up from their shocking encounter. Ragnuk along with his guard looked at Arturia with awe and admiration. Arturia felt very uncomfortable when Ragnuk and his guards kneeled before her like the knights of old and said with a hint of excitement. "Pardon this goblin for his lack of respect. My king. Had we known who you were, a grand reception would have been prepared before hand."

Arturia had to control her embarrassment and said with practice from her days in the royal court. "Rise. Chief Ragnuk. I am no king. My kingdom had fallen over a thousand years ago. Now I am just a girl learning to live a normal life."

Ragnuk gave her a warm smile and said with reverence. "To us goblin, you will always be a king in our eyes and our hearts." Ragnuk stood up along with his guards and said with enthusiasm. "But you heard enough from this old goblin. We need to perform the ritual with due haste, if those scoundrels within the wizard world hear of your return. They will do everything within their power to control you. Even to this day, your name and legend has power. It is our responsibility as part of the fairy realm to protect the king of old from those who would harm or use you. Come, we will make sure this is done properly."

The entire process took couple of hours to complete. In the end, both Arturia and Rin became emancipated minors within the wizard world, with all the rights and responsibility of adult witches. The ritual added extra protection to stop geis and contracts being forced on them either by legal government or unscrupulous individuals. Rin also sorted out the transfer of funds between herself and the main vault of house Tohsaka. Rin was still smiling at the sight of gold coins and gems piled as high as mountains, even after they left Gringotts.

Tsukiko noticed Arturia seemed a bit down and asked her. "Arturia-oneesan, what's wrong? You look a bit under the weather."

Arturia said with a tone of disappointment. "None of the goblins ask for my signature like they did with Lancer."

Tsukiko sweat drop with Rin at this and thought. 'Perhaps the goblin were too awe struck at meeting king Arthur in person. They forgotten to ask.' Tsukiko tried to placate Arturia. "Cheer up, Arturia-oneesan. I know a great curry restaurant in London. You will feel better once we eat up." The day went by without incident.

Wizengamot, Ministry of Magic

It was early afternoon, just after everyone had their lunch. A meeting was under way, all the prominent families gathered in a private side room with a long table that would seat everyone who attended. Albus Dumbledore presided over the meeting, he had been working tirelessly on forging new relation, new alliance and reinforcing old alliance, ever since the Tohsaka destroyed Privet Drive and killed the Dursley. It would take some time before he recovered all his power base within the Wizengamot. He needed to recover his standing to have any influence over the juridical proceeding and magical law department, he needed a way to wrestle Tsukiko Potter from the Tohsaka. Albus was certain their action at Privet Drive would be their undoing, he only needed the influence.

Albus was then surprised when Cornelius Fudge said to the rest of the assembled families. He said to them with a wide smile. "Today I have the honour of welcoming a new magical family to join the Wizengamot. Please allow me to introduce everyone to House Tohsaka."

Albus had shot out of his seat in shock and thought. 'How can this be!? The Tohsaka is a young magical family with virtually no political influence or tie to magical Britain, although they do have huge sums of money. Did they buy their way into the Wizengamot?' Albus noticed Lucius Malfoy also looked positively shocked by this unexpected development. Albus thought to himself. 'Matters not, I will abject to their presence. Lance Bazett and Satsuki Yumizuka are too young to join the Wizengamot, it is unprecedented.' Albus was determined to throw the Tohsaka out. However his plan came apart when Nicolas Flamel walked into the room, he wore the Tohsaka emblems on his long trench coat. Albus paled at the sight of Nicolas Flamel and knew without a doubt, the Tohsaka had began to move in ways that was beyond his calculation. Albus sat in shock silence along with Lucius Malfoy, while everyone else in the room welcomed Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel was an intensively private person, he disliked crowds and gathering of stranger. Even after five hundred years of working with other wizards and researchers, he was still not used to politicians and governments officials. However Nicolas hadn't regret his decision to become the representative of house Tohsaka. His mind drifted back to a few days ago.

(Flash back)

Nicolas Flamel said in surprise to Rin Tohsaka. "You want me to represent the Tohsaka in the Wizengamot!? Why? Is it even possible for a new and foreign family?"

Rin explained to him. "It would have been impossible before you joined us. The Tohsaka has influence in Gringotts and the Goblin Nation, also anywhere else that can be influenced with money and funds. However the Wizengamot runs on old money and traditions. It would have been impossible for us to find a foot hold within such establishment in such a short time. However all this have changed with you here."

Nicolas eyes widened and said in surprise. "Me?"

Rin smiled and replied . "Yes. You. With you as our representative, they cannot refuse you on traditions or old money. Your reputation will give you a prominent position within the Wizengamot, all the old families would assume you're the head of Tohsaka and we answer to your call."

Nicolas panic and said with worry. "But I hate politics, I'm not good with people. Is there no one else for this role?"

Rin sighed and said. "We cannot send Satsuki due to her age and dead apostle status. We cannot send Lancer due to his Heroic spirit status. Me, Arturia and Tsukiko would be viewed as children and not taken seriously due to our age and gender, when we are more competent then the whole Wizengamot combine. Sorry Mr Flamel, it will have to be you."

Nicolas really don't like this, he owed Tsukiko a massive debt that he would never be able to repay. Just as he was contemplating how to turned down this job. Rin said to him. "Also you get to screw with Albus Dumbledore. I'm sure you are still less then pleased with him after we told you everything he had done to Tsukiko." Nicolas really disliked Rin Tohsaka manipulative nature. She may looked like a twelve year old at this moment. However inside, Rin Tohsaka was a magus in her early thirty with specialization in a branch of magic that could rival his own mastery of Alchemy. Nicolas heard everything that was done to Tsukiko Potter and the Tohsaka, also the horrendous crime Albus Dumbledore covered up to protect Vernon Dursley. Nicolas wondered how far the wizard world had fallen when the leader of 'Light' behave in such manners. Nicolas remembered Albus favourite saying. 'For the greater good' Nicolas inwardly snorted at that saying and thought it could be good for him to enter the Wizengamot politics and assist the Tohsaka, but also the wizard world. Merlin knew the Wizard world needed all the help it could get.

He sighed and said to Rin in defeat. "Fine, I'm in, so what is your plan." Rin had the biggest smile that send chills down his spine. She explained the whole plan to him.

(Flash back)

Nicolas had to admit. Rin Tohsaka was truly devious and a Merlin damned genius. Her plan would gain vast amount of favours among all the noble families, she would rack in riches for all those involved. This plan would gain favour, wealth and reputation for the Tohsaka on a whole new level. Nicolas sat down next to Lucius Malfoy, he noticed the man glanced at him nervously. He also noticed Albus Dumbledore looked like he saw a ghost. Nicolas smiled inwardly while his expression remained neutral, he would pay Dumbledore back ten fold for his attempted to steal the Philosopher stone from him.

Nicolas was bored out of his mind, he thought to himself. 'Is this what they talk about all day long? Funding for departments, job cuts, their low pay, more bonuses and so on.' Nicolas listened with interest when Arthur Weasley wished to push in a new law, 'The Muggle Protection Act'. As predicted Lucius Malfoy objected. It soon spiralled into a shouting match between the two men, the call for calm was issued by Cornelius Fudge. The meeting was almost at an end, It was then Nicolas Flamel began Rin Tohsaka plan. Nicolas Flamel said to the assembled wizard and witches. "May I have a moment of your time, honour ladies and gentlemen." Nicolas took out a quartz gem stone and activated the stone. He spoke with enthusiasm as a holographic image displayed on top of the stone. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to project 'continental gate'. The solution to our problems. New opportunity, wealth and our independence before our very eyes." The image presented before them were a massive circular mirror on a pedestal. At the edge of the mirror were a massive silver metal ring with series of runes engraved on the metal.

Arthur Weasley said to him with curiosity. "What is it? I never seen anything like it."

Nicolas explained to the wizards and witches before him. "This is a continental gate created by house Tohsaka. It is designed to allow mass transportation of goods and people to a sister continental gate. An instantaneous transportation device for the purpose of exporting and importing goods with our American allies."

Albus was not happy. This couldn't be happening! Somehow the Tohsaka had gained the help and support of Nicolas Flamel, him represented the Tohsaka was a devastating blow to Albus. Nicolas reputation was more then enough to secure favours and support from majority of the family present here. Now Nicolas Flamel was introducing those family to magic devised by the Tohsaka, he had no idea what the Tohsaka was trying to achieve here, but he needed to stop this now. He said to Nicolas respectfully. "Mr Flamel, as interesting as those 'continental gate' are. Our Floo Network is more then enough for our needs. There is no need for those gates." Albus was slightly unnerved when Nicolas gave him a cold smile.

Nicolas needed to keep up with the appearance of respect, despite how he truly felt about Dumbledore. Nicolas said to Dumbledore with a tone of respect. "On the contrary. Sir Dumbledore. As many here would know. Floo to the colonies cost a vast amount of Floo powder, also the journey would be very rough, uncomfortable and extremely draining on our magic due to the distance involved. There is also the issue of Floo unable to transport large amount of objects and many magical compounds and ingredients that would react badly to Floo transportation. The continental gate eliminate all those problems. Travel through the gate would be no different then taking a step through a door. The gate will be powered by the local ley line, so there is no cost to the travellers magic. The gate use an entirely different principle and branch of magic from Floo or Apparition, there would be no negative effect on magical compounds and ingredient, that would normally react badly to Floo travel. With the continental gate, Magical Britain would be at the centre of a massive trade network, importing and exporting goods to the colonies and beyond. Once the gate is active, it will change our world forever."

Nicolas could see Dumbledore tried to come up with an argument, Cornelius Fudge said to him with excitement. "What are the benefit to our economies? What sort of benefit would this bring? When can we use the gate?"

Nicolas said with respect. "Increase import and export would mean more jobs and thus more money being earned and spent, which would be more revenue for the Ministry in the form of tax, it would benefit everyone involved. I can assume many families here have business or shares outside of the Ministry, imagine being able to sell your service and goods outside of Britain at low transportation cost. Buying and selling exotic goods from another continent, the opportunity is endless. The Tohsaka are willing to charge only a small fee, base on the amount of goods transported through the gate. The gate will be active as soon as you give your approval. Minister Fudge."

Cornelius Fudge said with enthusiasm. "Sir Flamel. You and the Tohsaka will have the Ministry approval by the end of the day. I think everyone here want to see the gate active and bring wealth to our great nation." Many applaud and cheers were heard through out the meeting room. Nicolas noticed only three people where not as enthusiastic about the continental gate. Dumbledore was not happy for obvious reason. Lucius Malfoy looked deeply troubled by Tohsaka sudden gain in popularity and a horrid toad like lady in pink smiled maliciously at him. He would need to inform Rin of this.

(Line break)

Albus walked quickly towards the Floo network, he had hope to find Nicolas Flamel before he left. He managed to find Nicolas Flamel talking to Saul Croaker.

Mr Croaker said to Nicolas Flamel with enthusiasm. "Fascinating. I really wish to speak to the person who created the continental gate. Think of the possibility it holds."

Nicolas Flamel smiled and said fondly. "Unfortunately the Tohsaka consider the continental gate to be a closely guarded secret. My apologies, they won't divulge any secret to the construction of the continental gate. However you are welcome to the opening ceremony and see the gate in action."

Mr Croaker smiled and said in joy. "I would very much like that. It's good speaking to you, Sir Flamel." Albus waited patiently for the two men to finish their conversation. He felt his temper rise when Nicolas Flamel ignored him and proceeded to the Floo network.

Albus said with a tone of anger and urgency. "Nicolas, we need to speak." Nicolas Flamel stopped and looked towards him. Nicolas motioned for Dumbledore to follow him.

Albus followed Nicolas Flamel to an unused meeting room. Without anyone around he said angrily to Nicolas. "Why are you helping the Tohsaka!? They are a dark family worse then the Malfoy!" Albus felt his presence diminished when Nicolas Flamel walked uncomfortably close to him and glared down at him with smouldering golden eyes. Albus had forgotten that Nicolas could be VERY intimidating when he wanted to be, standing a foot taller then himself, hard chisel face framed by golden beard.

Nicolas looked down on him angrily and said with a threatening tone. "Why am I helping the Tohsaka? Because they managed to do the one thing, you promised me you would be able to do, one year ago. They destroyed the Philosopher stone before my very eyes. I owe the Tohsaka a great debt and I am helping them not only to repay my debt to them, also because they are truly good people doing the right thing."

Albus paled when he heard the stone was destroyed and the Tohsaka was the one who destroyed it. He said in panic. "They destroyed the stone? Quirrell stolen the stone! The Tohsaka could not have destroyed the stone!"

Nicolas said to him. "Oh they did. Mr Bazett tracked down your professor and killed him. He took the stone from professor Quirrell. The Tohsaka was nice enough to inform me what you used the stone for. A series of tests and challenges that a first year of Hogwarts could pass, with the Philosopher as the prize at the end. To think you used the stone for something like that, you really have gone senile. However I guess I should thank you. It's thanks to you the Tohsaka came across the stone and provided a method for it's destruction." Albus was in shock. Quirrell was killed by Lance Bazett. The Philosopher stone was destroyed. Flamel was helping the Tohsaka, his world had been turned upside down.

He said in panic and confusion. "Nicolas how could you! How can you help a dark family like the Tohsaka!? You even said Lance Bazett had killed Quirrell. How can you help a man that would willingly kill a professor like Quirrell. Why would you have the Tohsaka destroy the Philosopher stone. The GOOD that stone could achieve..."

Nicolas looked at Albus Dumbledore with pity as the man ranted at him. Rin Tohsaka had already gave him a cover story for the Philosopher stone. They needed to protect Tsukiko from any suspicion. Rin Tohsaka told him what had happened between Tsukiko and Quirrell. He was not lying when he said Lance Bazett killed Quirrell, what he left out was Tsukiko was also involved in Quirrell death. When he saw Albus Dumbledore like this, he finally understood why Rin insisted on covering up Tsukiko involvement. Albus would lose all composure and restraint if he learned Tsukiko Potter had killed or help Lancer killed Quirrell, it would shatter the delusional old man image of her being the wizard world saviour.

Nicolas said to Albus Dumbledore with pity. "You really have fallen Albus, How can you not see all the love that the Tohsaka have shown to Tsukiko Potter. You were once a great man. Albus. Now you're just a delusional old man way over his head." Albus looked at him with disbelief. He opened the door to the main corridor and said to Albus before he left the room. "Retire. Albus. Let the new generation take over. You're getting too old for this. Farewell Albus." Nicolas left a dumbstruck Albus Dumbledore and made his way back to the Tohsaka.

Diagon Alley

Tsukiko, Rin and Arturia made their way to Diagon Alley after being dropped off by Sacchin. The past few weeks had been chaotic for everyone. The creation of the continental gate with help from Rin, relocation of her workshop, setting up Rin's workshop at the new location. Creation of another mystic code mirror that would link the mansion to their workshops. They also created a stock pile of prana gems for Rin and conducted further research into the Horadric Cube. All this had exhausted both Arturia and herself. The opening ceremony of the continental gate within Gringotts had almost drove everyone to exhaustion. Tsukiko thought back to the opening ceremony of the continental gate just little under a week ago.

(Flash back)

Tsukiko along with Rin, Arturia, Sacchin, Lancer and Nicolas Flamel greeted Minister Fudge and his entourage along with Ragnuk the second and his entourage.

Nicolas Flamel said to them all. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen. To the opening ceremony of the continental gate. Within a few minutes we will activate the gate and greet our American counterpart..." Nicolas continued with a long speech into cooperation and friendship. She noticed the old goat, Malfoy and the horrible toad lady Nicolas described was not present within the group. Tsukiko had notice that Arthur Weasley was present within the group, so was Bartemius Crouch Sr. Beside Minister Fudge and those two. There was no one else note worthy in her opinion. Nicolas speech reached the end. "... let us meet our allies and friends within the American Ministry of Magic. Let us welcome a new age of prosperity and opportunity."

Tsukiko had to admit. Nicolas Flamel could give an excellent speech when he wanted to. She and everyone else in the mansion knew how much Nicolas hated to mingle with stranger and talking to politician. They promised Flamel, after this was over, they could just use representative like Sacchin and the goblin for the less formal meeting. They would only need him for the big event and meeting, which wouldn't be very often. Flamel was thankful for that. Tsukiko watched as the runes on the gate lights up. Tsukiko and Rin had modified her mystic code mirror to a massive size with a 'dialling' option. They used a series of runes and gave each continental gate a designated 'rune name'. The dialling device would call and connect the rune name that was input on the panel. The panel was made of white marble with series of neon blue runes on each separate tiles circling a massive polished red quartz crystal ball in the centre. The quartz was the final call button, after all the runes was input. The massive mirror on the gate shimmered like the surface of water as the selected runes lights up on the silver metal ring framing the massive mirror. Tsukiko along with all her family led by Nicolas Flamel entered the gate and exited on the other side on American soil, Minister Fudge along with his entourage soon followed. They were greeted by one of their American allies along with her group. Tsukiko had to control her urged to just simply ran up to the older girl and give her a hug. Weiss Schnee greeted her with a warm smile.

(Flash back)

Tsukiko smiled at the memory. She introduced Weiss to Rin and Arturia, the three of them got along pretty well, with all three of them brought up as heir of nobles and royalty. They actually had a lot to talk about. It was only now, that Rin decided she and Arturia would attend Hogwarts with her. It came as a surprise to Tsukiko to hear Rin would attend Hogwarts, she honestly thought Rin would spend her time in her workshop and not attend school with her. In a round about fashion, Rin explained she needed to protect her from the old goat scheme and any plots that Voldemort and the death eater could have in store for her. Rin cared about her in her own ways, Rin doesn't like to say it straight out or show her concern openly. Tsukiko was thankful none the less, she loved Rin dearly even thought Rin was a real slave driver and sometime scared the hell out of her.

Tsukiko along with Rin and Arturia arrived at Flourish and Blotts. They decided to do their shopping as soon as possible and avoid the school term rush. In front of Flourish and Blotts, there was an announcement of Gilderoy Lockhart making an appearance and signing book, the planned visit was around a week before school starts. Tsukiko was glad she decided to shop now instead of later, this place would be packed on the day of the signing.

Rin said to her. "Tsukiko-chan. Why do we have to buy all the books from this author, Gilderoy Lockhart? For our defence against the dark art class." Tsukiko looked at her own list and realized she also needed to buy eleven books on defence against the dark art alone.

She said to Rin. "Maybe the new defence against the dark art teacher is a fan of this author, I haven't read any of his books." They purchased the books since it was listed on the school essential.

They went to Ollivander wand shop next and was greeted by an over joy Garrick Ollivander. He said to her in a cheerful tone. "Hello Miss Potter. How may I help you today."

She smiled and said. "My sisters need wands for Hogwarts, can you help them find the wand they need?"

Ollivander said with joy. "Most certainly." Ollivander decided to start with Arturia first, he said to her. "Ahh, Miss Arturia Pendragon. Funny how your name remind me of king Arthur. I don't suppose you're a descendent of his, are you?"

Arturia said nervously. "Not exactly. Good sir."

Ollivander said to Arturia. "Well no matter, please stand over there, while I take your measurements." Ollivander measured every part of Arturia body and made her extremely uncomfortable. Both Tsukiko and Rin snickered at Arturia reaction. Arturia gave a sigh of relief when Ollivander was done with her and went to the back of the shop. A few minutes later Ollivander brought out a wand and said to Arturia. "Eight and a half inch Oakwood, Dragon Heartstring. Give it a wave." Arturia wave the wand with unexpected result.

Tsukiko, Rin along with Ollivander was blown out of the shop window by a massive sound wave that sounded like a dragon's roar. The window was blew out along with the door. Tsukiko could only hear ringing in her ears and was a bit dazed by the unexpected reaction. Tsukiko saw Rin shouted something at the shop in general, from her lip movement, it looked like she was swearing in German again. Ollivander was stumbling around with a VERY big and happy grin on his face. Arturia face paled at what had just happened and dropped the wand like it was cursed. It took a while before their hearing recovered. Tsukiko said to Ollivander. "What the hell was that!?"

Ollivander said to them with a huge smile. "Something completely unexpected. It seemed like the wand was not only compatible with Miss Pendragon here. It gave it's roar of approval."

Rin said to Ollivander angrily. "That had better not be a joke. I almost lost my hearing there!"

Ollivander said to her in joy. "No joke! Miss Tohsaka. I never seen a wand that excited before. It was eager to serve Miss Pendragon. However we need to find one that is more docile. Good thing the heart string was not made from Hungarian Horntail or the shop would be on fire."

Tsukiko looked toward Rin with worry and she said to Ollivander with concern. "We will stay outside. While you look for another wand for Arturia." After several roars, rain and even thunder. Both Ollivander and Arturia exited the shop raffled and soaked head to toe in water, Arturia looked like a drowned cat. While Ollivander on the other hand looked like a kid on sugar high.

He said in joy. "Eleven inch Mahogany with Dragon whiskers. The Dragon whiskers was from a Chinese water dragon. A extremely rare and very docile specie of Dragon."

Tsukiko used Tergeo and Hot-Air charm on Arturia to dry her off. Arturia thanked her for her assistant and waited for Rin to get her wand. It didn't take long at all. Rin got a eight and a half inch Mahogany Dragon Heartstring wand, that was very compatible with her, due to her personality.

They paid for the wands and made their way to Magical Menagerie. Which was a big mistake. Arturia had instantly fell in love with the Kneazle with their lion's tail and cat like feature. The poor creature was almost suffocated under Arturia affection. Rin was no better, she looked at the various breed of fire crabs with predatory eyes, all the fire crabs sensed danger and backed away from Rin in fear. Tsukiko would have to remind Rin that she would need a special license for fire crabs and she was not allowed to extract their gem stones from their shells, since they were a protected species. Tsukiko soon dragged both Rin and Arturia out of the shop when the Kneazle became hysterical and Rin took out a scalpel and tried to pried a gem off the fire crab. Tsukiko decided neither Rin or Arturia were ready to look after a pet.

Later that day Tsukiko was writing a report on Hydrodynamic physic, when her communication crystal chimed softly. She took out a piece of paper and a wrote the sequence of the chime, after a short moment. Tsukiko smiled as the message was from Hermione, the message asked how she was and what she had been up to since they last met at King's Cross station. Tsukiko tapped the crystal with her ball point pen and messaged Hermione saying she had been busy working in her workshop on a big project and would surprise her when they next meet. Hermione returned the message and told her about her holiday in Spain with her parents. Hermione could not give her the detail of her holiday because she was still learning Morse code. Hermione did managed to ask her if she would come shopping with her in Diagon Alley with her parents, a week before school starts. Tsukiko replied with a yes and was glad the communication crystal couldn't transmit image, by the end of their conversation Tsukiko had tears running down her face as she remembered how close she was to losing Hermione at the start of summer holiday.

(Line break)

It was only few days after their visit to Diagon Alley. Tsukiko was taking a bath by herself. While she was scrubbing her body down with a soap, she thought of everything that had happened so far since Rin and Arturia had joined them. With Rin help their research on the mystic code mirror had evolved into the continental gate that reached all the way to America. The success of that project had brought further wealth, old coins and favours from almost all the families within Magical Britain, even the Malfoy. The only group that hadn't joined in the project or even recognised it, was the old goat and his core group, which wasn't that surprising or made any difference to their overall plan. Their true plan had gone off without a hitch, with the continental gate active. The Tohsaka was able to aid the rebellious faction in America, she was able to help her friends and allies with supplies and other goods, to help overthrow the shadow government within the American magical.

Tsukiko was deep in thought when a loud "POP" was heard. It made Tsukiko jumped from her wooden stool and looked toward the origin of the noise and came face to face with a rather ragged house elf. Both Tsukiko and the house elf were caught by complete surprise. Tsukiko turned red and screamed as the house elf apparate out in mortification. Tsukiko heard shouts from Lancer as he ran into the bathroom while she was completely naked. There was a moment of silence as Lancer stared at her and she stared back, her face turned bright red from embarrassment and shame. She shouted while overcharging her spell due to her embarrassment. "Aguamenti Tria!" Tsukiko shot a massive jet of water from her right palm at a gawking Lancer, the force of the spell slammed his head through the changing room wall.

Rin heard Tsukiko scream and ran towards the bathroom with Arturia following close behind her. What she saw made her stopped in her track. Tsukiko completely naked on her knees, face bright red with tears streaking down her cheeks. Lancer completely soaked and his head firmly planted into the changing room wall. Rin was gritting her teeth in anger as Lancer pulled his head out of the wall. Before Rin could say anything, she felt a massive killing intent from behind her.

Arturia covered in a dark aura hissed out in anger at Lancer. "Lancer you black guard! Have you fallen so low that you would sate your carnal desire with a child! The child you swore on your honour to protect!" Rin noticed Lancer looked over to Tsukiko, then himself, then at them.

He looked mortified and said quickly. "NO! WAIT! This isn't what it looks like!"

Arturia charged at Lancer and shouted. "Silence! You fiend!" Arturia brought her wooden sword down on Lancer head before either Tsukiko or herself could stop Arturia.

After much confusion and mayhem. Both Tsukiko and Arturia were currently in a kneeling position facing a seated Lancer, who was having his head bandaged by Rin. Both Tsukiko and Arturia had a sheepish expression.

Lancer said to Arturia in a tone of anger. "Root damn it! Saber, are you trying to kill me! Why didn't you wait for my explanation before beating the hell out of me!?"

Arturia looked away from Lancer and said. "My apologies. Lancer. I got carried away." Lancer was about to berate Arturia when Rin heard enough and slapped Lancer on the back of his head.

She said to him. "You're at fault as well, Lancer. Why did you just barged into the bathroom with Tsukiko-chan still inside? You should have known better. Poor Tsukiko was so embarrassed, she almost fainted. Besides, you're a heroic spirit, a blow or two to the head won't kill you."

Lancer said to her. "Rin, it still hurts like hell to have your head rammed into a wall and getting hit with a wooden sword from Arturia. If it was anyone else they would have been dead!" Lancer then turned towards Tsukiko and said with annoyance. "Tsukiko-chan, why did you scream? I rushed all the way to the bathroom. I thought you were being attacked!"

Tsukiko said with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, a house elf apparate next to me and surprised me."

Rin said with worry. "Why would a house elf apparate next to you? Look like we need to tweak the defence to include house elf apparate. I thought those guys were suppose to be harmless."

Tsukiko said to her. "Well, the house elf looked just as surprised as I was, I guessed he wasn't expecting to find me taking a bath."

Rin then said to Tsukiko. "Next time use your head before you scream. You can cast spell without a wand, you could have captured the elf." Rin sighed and felt rather exhausted. She said to Tsukiko. "We all had a long night. I will stay up and tweak the defence. Before you go to sleep Tsukiko-chan. Fill up those prana gems." She handed Tsukiko a bag of prana gems that was freshly made by the Horadric Cube.

Tsukiko really hated her new schedule. She had to fill up prana gem before she go to sleep. Tsukiko almost depleted of her prana was then surprised to see the same house elf in her room that had appeared in the bathroom earlier. Tsukiko ready to reach for her wand, was then surprised when the house elf banged his head against her wardrobe repeatedly.

The house elf said with anguish. "Bad Dobby. Dobby must not apparate next to great Tsukiko Potter while she was having a bath."

Tsukiko pinched the bridge of her nose and said tiredly. "Can you stop that please. You're going to put a dent on that wardrobe."

The elf turned towards her crossed eyed and said. "Dobby is sorry. Great Tsukiko Potter. Dobby don't mean to break your stuff."

There was a moment of silence before the house elf Dobby start to bang his head on the floor and said. "Bad Dobby. Bad Dobby breaking great Tsukiko Potter stuff." Tsukiko sighed, she knew some house elf could be little unstable, but this one take the biscuit. Tsukiko noticed Dobby doesn't mean her any harm and seemed to be worried about her.

She said to the house elf. "Dobby. Is there something you want? A reason why you came to see me." Tsukiko observed as Dobby stopped banging his head on the floor and seemed dazed for a moment.

He said to her with a tone of admiration and fear. "Dobby have come to warn great Tsukiko Potter, not to go to Hogwarts. Great danger awaits you there. A terrible danger will be unleashed. You must stay away."

Tsukiko felt slight anger and sorrow when she heard what Dobby had told her. She said to Dobby with a cold tone devoid of emotion and warmth. "Thank you for your warning Dobby. However I will still attend Hogwarts. If a great danger had been unleashed, I will need to be there to protect my friends and family. So I must refuse your request, but I will accept your warning."

Tsukiko felt rather uncomfortable when Dobby cried and said with admiration. "Oh, great Tsukiko Potter, so selfless, so brave. It is a honour to meet such bravery, but Dobby is sorry, I will stop you from going to Hogwarts, great Tsukiko Potter are too important to all of us." with that declaration, Dobby apparate out. Tsukiko immediately sought out Rin to inform her of this encounter.

(Line break)

It had been two days since Dobby the house elf visited Tsukiko. Rin had tweaked the anti-apparition charm to block house elf apparition. She also further modified the courtyard and mansion bounded field to include a new bounded field know as 'Feste der Schwerkraft' or 'Festival of Gravity', she also added a few innovative defence on their newly located workshops. Rin had started a proper magus training regime for Tsukiko, now that she could oversee Tsukiko training, she decided it was high time to fix some of Tsukiko glaring fault and bad practice.

Just as Rin finished upgrading the bounded field within her workshop, an explosion was heard from the testing room. Rin groaned and said in annoyance. "What the hell did she do this time!" Rin gone to the entrance of the testing room and found the Tachikomas staggered out of the room and collapsed into each other, completely out cold. Tsukiko staggered out of the testing room coughing and looked like she was at the centre of a explosion. Rin said to her in annoyance. "What happened? What did you break this time?"

Tsukiko took a deep breath and said to her with a pained smile. "Nothing actually, the explosion was a reaction from exposure to the air, but I made a BIG discovery. I will show you." Rin hesitated, she really don't want to be covered in soot. Tsukiko said to her. "It's safe, we managed to contain it before it got out of hand."

Rin walked into the testing room hesitantly and was greeted by a floating Topaz, the size of a person head with green jagged line running through the whole gem stone. The massive gem was crackling with lightning. Rin looked to Tsukiko with wide eyes and said. "Tsukiko-chan, what is this?"

Tsukiko smiled and said to her with enthusiasm. "A power source. I used the Horadric Cube to make the perfect Topaz first, then I used the Horadric Cube again, only this time I placed the Topaz and some of Timothy Runcorn magic circuits into the Cube. This is the result!"

Rin said with disbelief. "You mixed prana gem and magic circuits together! And it worked!?"

Tsukiko smiled with pure excitement and said. "This hybrid magic circuit, prana gem is self sustainable. Not only does it produce it's own od, it also gather Mana from the surrounding area constantly and store prana within the gems. What was unexpected was the elemental attribute. It seem to constantly generate electricity and would discharge a massive amount of said element when another prana source came too close to it. The Tachikomas and I almost got electrocuted when it first came out of the box. With this little baby, I solved the power supplies problem in one of my project. Now that I have a power source, I can finally resume my project."

Rin could not believe it. Tsukiko made a prana generator, a self sustaining prana gem that could recharge itself, even if it does use extracted magic circuits and combined with the help of this noble phantasm mystic code, the 'Horadric Cube'. It was a massive breakthrough. Rin hugged Tsukiko and said. "Good job! Tsukiko-chan. However next time you need to warn me when you plan to make something like this, remember this is a joint project, you need to start learning to work with others."

Tsukiko fidgeted and said meekly. "I wanted to surprise you. Rin-oneesan."

Rin almost melted at the adorable sight and hugged her even more and said. "It's ok. Tsukiko-chan, we going to work on this together. I just wanted you to be safe, that's all." Rin never saw the glint of mischief within Tsukiko eyes while they hugged.

Later that evening, Tsukiko once again changed into her lab coat and work getup. Rin insisted in her own way, that she needed to dress properly for work and looked the part of a modern magus. Lancer and Sacchin laughed for hours at the embarrassing getup, they even went so far as to say they didn't recognised her when she dressed in her work cloth. Just as she was about to walk through the mirror and go into her workshop, the bounded field alarm went off inside her head. Tsukiko along with Rin rushed to the courtyard where the alarm was triggered. Tsukiko almost tripped over herself by what she saw. Ron and the Weasley twin pinned down on the floor by Rin's gravity bounded field, they were also being threatened by Arturia with her sword. Tsukiko also noticed a car, a Ford Anglia plunged into the ground with multiple restraining bounded field still wrapped around the vehicle.

Tsukiko sighed in annoyance and undid all the bounded fields with a thought. She said to Arturia. "It's ok Arturia-oneesan. That's Ron, Fred and George Weasley. They are harmless." She then turned toward the ruffled trio and said to them. "What are you guys doing here? What's with the Ford Anglia?"

Tsukiko was not expecting what Ron said to her next. "Umm, who are you and where is Tsukiko Potter?"

Ron hadn't heard anything from Tsukiko Potter since the start of summer holiday. He hadn't received any letters from her, even thought he had send plenty of letters to her, albeit Errol was a bloody menace, half the time he thought the owl had failed to deliver the letter. That was until professor Dumbledore suggested that he go and 'rescue' Tsukiko Potter from the Tohsaka. Ron heard from professor Dumbledore that house Tohsaka had been using Tsukiko to increase their own reputation and standing. Professor Dumbledore even called them a dark family, it certainly explained why he never received any letters from her. This was further proven when their flying car was then suddenly dragged down by bright yellow ropes. The car suddenly lost power and crashed into the ground despite Fred and George best effort. Ron along with Fred and George left the stranded vehicle and was promptly slammed into the ground by some sort of dark magic. They could not move their body and found even the act of breathing difficult.

While Ron and his twin brother was incapacitated. A beautiful blond hair girl with jade green eyes appeared before them, she wore silver armour with deep blue dress. She was no older then he was.

She levelled her sword threateningly towards them and said with hostility. "Who are thou to trespass on this ground. State thou name and purpose! Resist and I shall cut you down." Ron was terrified along with Fred and George. So much for their rescue mission. It was then two more girls emerged from the manor. One of them seemed to know them and told the blond hair girl whose name was Arturia to stand down. With the dark magic gone, Ron observed the two girls, one looked like a total nerd, while the other was an exotic beauty with brown wavy hair tied into twin pony tails, she had blue eyes and wore a pair of smart oval shape glasses, she also wore the same clothing as the nerdy girl. The nerdy girl asked why they were here.

Ron replied bravely. "Umm, who are you and where is Tsukiko Potter?"

The nerdy girl with black hair tied into twin pigtail braids, wore big coke lens glasses and white lab coat said to him in annoyance. "Ron! Don't you recognise me? I know we haven't seen each other since the beginning of summer break, but that was a bit rude even for you." Ron was very confused and looked over to Fred and George for answers. Both of them shook their heads at him.

He looked back and said. "Sorry, do I know you?"

The nerdy girl with black pigtail braids sighed and took off her glasses and said. "Seriously!? You three are unbelievable." Ron jaw almost came undone when he saw the girl before him was Tsukiko Potter. Fred and George laughed uproariously.

Ron said with horror stricken tone. "What are you wearing! You look like a nerd!" Ron regretted that comment when the dark magic activated once again and slammed him and his brothers into the ground once more.

Tsukiko changed out of her work cloth and got cups of coffee for everyone, including Ron. She said to Ron and the Weasley twins. "Sorry about your Ford Anglia. I will get it fixed first thing in the morning. In the mean time you guys can use the guest room."

Fred said to her sheepishly. "We should apologies too. When little ickle Ronnie here said you were being held against your will by the Tohsaka. We came to rescue you..."

George took over. "Guess we were mistaken."

Ron quickly said to his brothers. "But professor Dumbledore told me Tsukiko was in trouble and needed rescuing. It would explain why she didn't reply to any of my letter." Tsukiko noticed Rin glared at Ron when he mentioned the old goat. Tsukiko quickly diverted everyone's attention away from what the old goat said and avoided two hot tempered individual from arguing.

She said to Ron. "Ron. I never received your letters. Also I had send you letters over the holiday, didn't you get them?"

Ron looked confused and said. "Umm no I didn't. I never received any letters from you, neither did Hermione when I asked her. Hermione told me, she assumed you didn't send her letters by owls because of the crystal you gave her." Tsukiko thought for a moment. She called Hedwig over. She had a short conversation with the snowy white owl and discovered Hedwig had given the letters to a house elf who claimed to be working for the Weasley.

Tsukiko groaned and said to Ron and the twins. "Ron, Fred, George. Do you guys have a house elf?"

Fred said to her. "No we don't, but mum..."

George took over. "Always wanted one. Why?"

Tsukiko said to them. "Because Hedwig told me that she gave my letters to a house elf that claimed to be working for the Weasley."

All three Weasley looked at each other and said in unison. "WHAT!?" Tsukiko sighed, this was going to be a long night.

Rin Tohsaka was thinking deeply. The old bastard was still trying to get his hand on Tsukiko. Rin had honestly thought with the destruction of the blood ward, this would all stop and the senile old fool would finally back off. Tsukiko told the Weasley brothers about her encounter with Dobby the house elf, minus the bath encounter and subsequence Lancer beat down.

Rin was brought out of her contemplation when Tsukiko said to them. "Sorry for the late introduction. The blond hair girl is my sister Arturia Pendragon. The brown hair girl is also my sister and the head of house Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka."

Ron then said to them in disbelief. "Wait! You're the head of house Tohsaka!? Your just a kid! I knew the Tohsaka was dark, using kids to do their dirty work!" Rin got an angry twitch under her left eye. She took off her glasses and therefore cancelled her perfect sociable persona and brought out her magus persona. Rin had a wonderful idea of messing with Ron's head for insulting her and her house.

She said to Ron while she pulled Tsukiko toward her. "I am the head of house Tohsaka, an emancipated minor, also the legal guardian of Tsukiko Potter." Rin then said in a seductive voice while she pulled Tsukiko into a passionate embrace from behind. "Tsukiko-chan is my little sister, my apprentice and my property." Rin smile widened and became more sadistic when she saw Ron Weasley face turned bright red from either anger or embarrassment. She said to Tsukiko in the same seductive voice while she placed her head onto Tsukiko shoulder and rubbed her face against Tsukiko cheek. "Tsukiko-chan. Do you remember what you should call me when I am teaching you magic, do you remember your position within the Tohsaka house. Say it, Tsukiko-chan. Call me by my title." Rin smiled at Tsukiko when she turned pink.

Tsukiko said to her in a meek and submissive voice. "Yes I do... Master." Rin smile became downright sadistic when Ron shot out of his seat red faced and took out his wand. A purple magic circle appeared where he stood. Ron was then slammed into the ground with a groan of pain. Rin still held Tsukiko in a seductive manner.

She said to Ron maliciously. "Boy, this is my house and you will abide by my rules, just like everyone else here. I may look like a child. However I have power and experience that would make even the most powerful unspeakable envious. You don't stand a chance against me, you can't even stand on your own two feet."

Tsukiko honestly tried to avoid the confrontation between Rin and Ron, but Ron managed to push the wrong button and pissed Rin off. Tsukiko was getting rather embarrassed by Rin behaviour. She said to Rin quickly, Tsukiko hoped she would be able to stopped the situation from escalating. "Master. We still have work to do in our workshops, perhaps it would be best to put this on hold for now and continue our project before we fall behind schedule." That seemed to have brought Rin out of her sadistic mood.

Rin said to her with realization. "Ahh, you're right. It's already this late, we need to hurry up and finish our work. Come along Tsukiko-chan." As Rin rushed off toward the basement. Tsukiko bowed to the Weasley twins and said to them. "I have to go for now. Arturia-oneesan will show you guys to the guest room. I will see you all in the morning." Tsukiko quickly followed after Rin.

Tsukiko was working with Rin in the workshop, they were working on a new combination with the Horadric Cube. Tsukiko said to Rin. "Rin-oneesan. Why did you intimidate Ron Weasley? If you had stayed quite, he won't be any the wiser. Now he's going to think the old goat is right about everything."

Rin said to her with a sigh. "Sorry Tsukiko-chan. Ron Weasley personality reminded me of someone rather unpleasant. His behaviour was inexcusable." Rin looked her in the eyes and said. "I know you planned to convert Ron to your side eventually, but I can see that endeavour is going to fail. Ron Weasley is someone set in his own way. From what I saw within your memory, he always seek the easiest way to achieve his goal and ambition, once he is set on a belief. He will never change. I have seen this happened many time within the Clock Tower. Young ambitious magus looking for the fastest way to fame and prestige. I saw that same glint of greed and ambition in his eyes. He really rub me the wrong way." Tsukiko contemplated what Rin had said and came to realized Ron hadn't taken what she said to him during their first year to heart. He always used Hermione to complete his home work. Ron lack motivation unless it was something he find enjoyable, like Quidditch, wizard chest or games. Tsukiko realized he hadn't changed at all since the day she first met him on Hogwarts express. Just like Rin said, she really couldn't see how Ron would change from who he was right now.

Ron was livid and thought to himself. 'How dare those Tohsaka treat Tsukiko Potter like that! Professor Dumbledore was right, he's always right. They will need to rescue Tsukiko Potter from that dark witch Rin Tohsaka.' While Ron was stewing in his own anger. The Weasley twin was playing games with the Tachikomas.

Fred noticed Ron was upset with Rin Tohsaka. He must admit that girl scared the hell out of him and George, but Ron had started the fight by insulting the Tohsaka in their own house. Both him and George was divided on whether the Tohsaka was really dark at all. Many families from light and dark praised the Tohsaka for creating the continental gate, they brought trade and wealth to magical Britain. They also said Nicolas Flamel was leading the Tohsaka. Fred heard his father talked with other members of the order about a split in relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel. Fred honestly couldn't see Tsukiko as dark or those close to her. The way she smiled when she was close to her friends and family showed him that. All three Weasley had gone to sleep after their game with the Tachikomas.

(Line break)

Tsukiko managed to fixed and recharged the flying Ford Anglia. Tsukiko bid Ron and the twins farewell before she returned to the manor. It was then Sacchin came home, looked extremely worried as she paced back and forth in the living room. Tsukiko sat down along with Rin and Arturia.

Rin said to Sacchin. "Satsuki-chan. What's wrong? You looked a bit pale." Sacchin turned toward them and gave them a magazine on films and gossip. Rin's eyes widened in shock at the article. "How did this happen? I thought you went by a pseudonym name of Sandy Mitchel. How did they find out your real name and have pictures of you!?"

Tsukiko asked Rin and Sacchin. "Is it bad that the press knew Sacchin real name?"

Rin looked at her with worry and said. "Yes it is. It means we are going to get journalist and paparazzi watching our every move. 'The Garden of Sinners' series was only meant to be a way to start our funds at the beginning, it was unexpected that it became a massive hit. With the series being put on the big screen, the first film was a block buster hit across the globe and there are plans to complete the series with another six films."

Rin then turned to Sacchin and said. "Satsuki-chan. Do you have our legal paper done? We're going to need them more then ever now."

Sacchin replied. "Yes. Pip managed to get them all done today. Flawless birth certificate, passport, legal records along with a complete history of your life from the day you were born to now. It took awhile to get them done for you and Arturia."

Rin said to Sacchin. "That's fine. If those journalist decided to dig into our histories, we need to avoid any scandal and attentions." Rin then said to her. "Tsukiko-chan, we need to extend the muggle repelling charm and start making more of those mystic code disguise clothing for Arturia and myself." Rin then turn to Sacchin. "Make sure you are not tailed when you visit the mercenaries or anyone that would raise suspicion. That will be all." Rin then dragged her toward the mirror at the basement and said to her. "Lets get those clothing done asap. Look like it's going to be another all nighters." Tsukiko wanted to cry, she needed her sleep.

None of the residents at the mansion of 46a Craigdarragh Road noticed a strange doll like bird perched on the tree just outside of the bounded field. The creature observed the coming and going of 46a Craigdarragh Road. A woman sat in an office at London smiled as she watched Satsuki Yumizuka entered the manor through the eyes of the doll like bird and said with amusement. "Found you."

Leaky Cauldron

Tsukiko waited for Hermione and her parents at the Leaky Cauldron without her disguise. Sacchin was doing some last minute arrangement at Gringotts for an important meeting. Sacchin said she would meet her at Flourish and Blot. Rin and Arturia were shopping in London for cloths and other essentials with Lancer as chaperone and pack mule. Tsukiko watched as Hermione and her parents greeted her with a smile, Hermione ran towards her and wrapped her in a big hug. Hermione parents smiled at the touching scene. She said to Hermione. "Hello. Hermione-chan. Did you enjoy your holiday?" Tsukiko had to control her emotion around Hermione, she was certain Hermione would get worried if she broke down and cried in front of her. The memories of Hermione almost dying was still fresh in her mind, even if Hermione could not remembered the incident due to her Obliviate spell.

Tsukiko was thankful for the distraction when Mrs Granger said to her. "Hello, Tsukiko. We hoped you had a pleasant summer break."

Ms Granger said to her with concern. "Are you all right Tsukiko? After what happened at the train station. You and Mr Bazett left in a hurry." Tsukiko smiled while hiding her pain.

She said to Ms Granger "I'm fine. Sorry if what happened had caused you and your family concern, but I'm all right now." Ms Granger nodded in understanding. Just as Tsukiko and the Granger family about to enter Diagon Alley they ran into Arthur Weasley and his family.

Hermione was happy to see Tsukiko again. She really missed her. Through out her holiday, she was worried about Tsukiko, their encounter at King's Cross with that horrible walrus man really scared her. It felt incredibly wrong to see Tsukiko scared and cried like that. She had a talk with her parents about what happened and how she felt. She really wanted to know what happened, she was curious about the reason why Tsukiko reacted like that. However her mum told her not to push the subject, her mum explained to her that people don't like others bringing up painful subjects or memories. What happened to Tsukiko was painful to her, she even felt pain for Tsukiko when she remembered how weak and fragile Tsukiko looked after that encounter. She had chose to smile and greet Tsukiko warmly, Hermione was confident that Tsukiko would tell her when she was ready. Hermione almost groaned when she saw Ron Weasley, everything was going so well before he arrived.

Tsukiko was taken back quite a bit by the Weasley patriarch enthusiasm. The man was practically glowing with joy and happiness. Tsukiko noticed Arthur Weasley came with his wife Molly Weasley, his daughter Ginny Weasley, their sons Percy, Fred, George and Ron Weasley. The whole family had their trade mark red hair. Tsukiko thought with amusement. 'Shirou-oniisan would fit right in during his younger days.' A thought from Shirou told her, that he heard what she said.

He thought to her with a tone of mock annoyance. 'I'm still young you know. Tsukiko-chan.'

Tsukiko replied with mischief. "Shirou-oniisan. Being in your thirty, having white hair and tan skin is not the definition of youth. I think Rin was doing you a favour by offering to bring you back as a six year old.'

Shirou thought to her grimly. 'Tsukiko-chan, you and I both know, that was no favour from Rin. I better stop distracting you. Have fun Tsukiko-chan.'

Tsukiko was brought out of her thought when Molly Weasley said to her and Ginny Weasley with unbridled joy. "Look, Ginny. It's the girl who lived. Tsukiko Potter!" Tsukiko almost groaned at that, she really hated that title. However what Ginny had said caught her completely off guard.

Ginny looked at her for a moment and said nonchalant. "She's nothing special. Don't know why everyone make such a big deal about her." Tsukiko wasn't expecting that! She doesn't know whether to feel glad or annoyed that Ginny wasn't another fan girl.

She then heard the Weasley matriarch chastised Ginny. "Ginny! How can you be so rude!"

Ginny gave her a bored look and said blandly. "My apologies. I was expecting more from what my idiot of a brother Ron said, and what my parents told me about you. If you will excuse me." Ginny walker towards the entrance of Diagon Alley and left her family.

Molly Weasley said with frustration. "OHHH, that girl!"

Arthur Weasley tried to placate his wife and said to her. "It's all right Molly. She just at that rebellious stage." Ron was looking a bit red, after being called an idiot by his sister. Tsukiko put the whole thing behind her as she made her way to Flourish and Blot with Hermione and the group.

Flourish and Blot

Tsukiko was not amused. Hermione had chosen this day to do her book shopping because she wanted her books to be signed by Gilderoy Lockhart. Tsukiko had already read his books and she was NOT impressed, neither was Rin or Arturia. Those books were not worth the parchments they were printed on. The method of defeating those dark creature were indeed true, if not far fetch. However ninety five percent of the books were filled with self glorifying junk from Gilderoy Lockhart. Tsukiko had to control her angry twitch when Hermione gone gaga over the blond flop dressed in horrid purple robe. Tsukiko questioned Hermione taste in men, when compared to Cu Chulainn, not many could meet his standard. Tsukiko blanched when she saw Lockhart looked at her and smiled widely.

The blond flop shouted to her over the crowd in joy. "Tsukiko Potter. The girl who lived! How unexpected to have you on my book signing day. Come! Take a photo with me for the Daily Prophet." Tsukiko had chose not to go near the blond flop, she ducked and moved back towards the exit at inhuman speed and bumped into Sacchin.

Sacchin said to her in surprise. "Hey Tsukiko-chan. What's the rush?"

Tsukiko whispered quickly. "Blond flop trying to get me into a photo shoot. Gotta get away!"

Satsuki tried not to laugh at Tsukiko. She found out Tsukiko don't like strangers taking photos of her, especially magical photos. Tsukiko hid behind her as the 'blond flop' followed Tsukiko with a dazzling smile. Satsuki stopped the man and said. "Sir, if you don't mind. My sister is rather camera shy and I would appreciate it if you don't force her to take a photo with you."

The man seemed to lost his dazzle for a moment before he said to her with that same smile. "Miss, who might you be? I did not know Miss Potter had a sister. Considering she was the only child."

Satsuki smiled back and said. "Satsuki Yumizuka. Legal guardian and adoptive sister of Tsukiko Potter. Member of house Tohsaka. And who might you be?" The man seemed to blanched a little, when Tohsaka was mentioned.

However he recovered quickly and said. "Gilderoy Lockhart. Honorary member of the dark..."

He was cut off when a woman barged him aside and shouted to Satsuki in excitement. "You're Satsuki Yumizuka! The author of 'Garden of Sinners'! Please sign my book!" Satsuki was soon swamped by witches wanting their copies signed. Satsuki honestly did not know the books would be just as successful and popular in the magical world as they were in the mundane world. No one seemed to notice Gilderoy Lockhart was unconscious on the floor covered in shoe marks as he was trampled by 'Garden of Sinners' fans.

Lucius Malfoy sneaked upon Ginny Weasley, he was puzzled, as the Weasley girl was holding a cauldron in each hand, filled with books, was she shopping for her friends or a family member perhaps? Lucius thought it was not important, he needed to drop the book left to him by the dark lord into her cauldron and sabotage Arthur Weasley Muggle Protection Act in the process. He dropped the book into one of her cauldrons and was about to set off the second part of his plan, discredit Arthur by starting a fight in the book shop.

However he was distracted by a shout. "You're Satsuki Yumizuka! The author of 'Garden of Sinners'! Please sign my book!" Lucius never saw Ginny Weasley sudden spin on the spot and ran towards the exit. However he had felt her cauldron smashed into his shin at full force. Lucius yelled in pain and hopped on his good leg, as he was hopping on one leg, another witch barged into him and knocked him into the book shelf. Lucius hit the bookshelf with the back of his head and was knocked out cold, Lucius was almost trampled to death by 'Garden of Sinners' fans.

(Line break)

Gringotts

Hermione along with her parents, Tsukiko and her sister Satsuki managed to escaped to Gringotts. Hermione was completely stunned to find out Satsuki was the author of the popular book series 'Garden of Sinners'. She got the whole collection and was a big fan of this series, even thought she was still too young for the majority of it's content. She had to buy the books behind her parents back and hid them under her bed. Hermione smiled and realized she could get Tsukiko to have her book signed by Satsuki. Hermione breath a sigh of relief, Satsuki managed to signed everyone's book at Flourish and Blot with great speed and escaped before more fans arrived.

Satsuki said to them. "My apologies. Mr Granger. Ms Granger. That's the first time this had happened. I honestly didn't know my books was also popular among wizards and witches."

Her mum said to Satsuki with a giggle. "Oh no, it's quite all right. I'm a big fan of your books. The movie was excellent as well. And please call me Linda and my husband Jeffrey."

Her dad then added. "Jeff will be fine as well."

Hermione eyes widened and she said with shock. "Mum, you went and saw the movie!? Why didn't you take me as well?"

Her mum said to her. "Hermione, you're too young. I promise I will take you to see them once you're sixteen years old."

Hermione said with disbelief. "MUM!"

Tsukiko smiled at Hermione reaction.

Sacchin said to them. "I have to get ready for the meeting. Don't forget to meet our guests Tsukiko-chan. You still have about an hour before they come through the gate." Sacchin left Tsukiko and her group.

Hermione asked her with curiosity. "Tsukiko-chan, who are you meeting and what did Satsuki-san mean by gate?" Tsukiko took out the Daily Prophet with an article about the opening of the continental gate and gave it to Hermione, for her to read. Hermione almost hyperventilated and said in shock. "You made a gate that connect all the way to America!? It's the same as the one in our dorm room that connect to your house!? The one we use every weekend to go and play at your house!"

Hermione instantly regretted what she said as her parents gave a stunned look.

Her mum said to her. "Dear. What's this about you going to play at Tsukiko house every weekend?"

Hermione said in panic. "It's only on the weekend, no one noticed. All we did was sight seeing, reading books at her personal library, eating exotic food and taking amazing Japanese bath together..." Hermione eye widened in realization as she covered her own mouth with her hands. Before she could say anything else.

Her father said with tears of joy. "Hermione actually broken school rules! She sneaked out of her school to play with her friends. My daughter is actually being sociable! Linda Dear, this is a cause for celebration. Let's go to that Chinese restaurant that you always liked." Hermione turned bright red at being teased by her mum and dad instead of being told off. Hermione wanted to find the nearest table to hid under. Weasley timely arrival was a close second to a good distraction.

Tsukiko watched as the Weasley family made their way into Gringotts and she said to Hermione. "Hermione-chan. I need to get ready for the meeting. I will see you at King's Cross again, if not before. I will tell you everything at Hogwarts. Take care of yourself. All right."

Hermione still bright red said to her. "All right. Tsukiko-chan. I will see you later." Tsukiko bid the Granger and Weasley farewell and told them she had an important meeting within Gringotts. She made her way towards the newly created gate room and ran into Draco and his mother along with Crabbe and Goyle.

Tsukiko smiled as Draco, Crabbe and Goyle flinched in surprise, when they met her suddenly. She said in polite greeting and amusement. "Hello Draco. Crabbe. Goyle. Fancy meeting you guys here."

Draco was the first to recover and said to her in a polite tone. "Hello Miss Potter. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Allow me to introduce you to my mother. Narcissa Malfoy." Tsukiko smiled and bowed to Narcissa Malfoy.

She said to Narcissa. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Ms Malfoy. I'm Tsukiko Potter, heir of the Tohsaka and ancient house of Potter." Tsukiko couldn't tell what Narcissa was thinking. The woman was stern looking, full of discipline with her straight back and regal posture. She had brown and blond hair, an unusual combination.

Narcissa looked at her critically and said with a hardly noticeable small smile. "It's nice to meet you. Miss Potter. Severus was right about you. You are an intriguing child." Narcissa then said to Draco. "Draco dear. I will go ahead and meet your father, I will get everything you need for Hogwarts. Stay here with Miss Potter. I will come back to Gringotts again in couple of hours." Narcissa gave her a smirk and said. "Miss Potter. I trust you will show Draco around and keep him safe. It's been a pleasure to meet you."

Tsukiko was a little confused and surprised when Narcissa Malfoy asked her to show Draco and his group around Gringotts. From Draco expression, he couldn't believe it either. Tsukiko thought about the encounter for a moment and came to realized that Severus might had told Narcissa Malfoy everything, but not Lucius Malfoy. If Severus did tell Lucius everything, she wouldn't be getting visit from Snatchers. That damn annoying organization was getting funding and orders from Lucius Malfoy. They were only able to find out about the funding and orders from the captured snatchers, but there was no hard evidence or proof linking this group to Lucius Malfoy. The Snatchers seemed to be made of incompetent wizards pretending to be bounty hunters, what they lack in skills and quality, they make up for in numbers. Tsukiko thought in annoyance at the number of 'Snatchers' that had been captured since the start of summer holiday. They were even stupid enough to attack Gringotts during the 'continental gate' opening ceremony.

Tsukiko was brought out of her thought when Draco asked her. "So. What're you doing in Gringotts?" Tsukiko thought for a moment then smiled mischievously at Draco. Tsukiko decided it was time for Draco to learn another lesson.

Draco was surprised that his mother would leave him with Tsukiko Potter. He honestly thought she would react like father did when ever he heard the name Tsukiko or Tohsaka. Sneers of disgust and angry retort. Instead his mother greeted Tsukiko Potter politely. Draco heard uncle Snape was mentioned, had he told her about what Tsukiko Potter was really like? He tried to tell his mother and father about Tsukiko before, but the magical contract stopped him from speaking as soon as he tried. Draco asked what Tsukiko was doing here and he regretted asking that question, as she gave him the smile that scared the hell out of him, Goyle and Crabbe.

Tsukiko said to him. "We will talk in the VIP room. Follow me."

Draco followed Tsukiko to the VIP room that was next to the new continental gate. Draco remembered how upset his father was when the gate was first announced. The day when the name Tohsaka became well known among all the light and dark family. Draco noticed the goblin bowed to Tsukiko with respect, but sneered at him, Goyle and Crabbe.

Tsukiko said to the goblin guarding the VIP room. "They are with me." Tsukiko then said to them. "Come along. We got a lot to talk about." Draco entered a lavish room heavily decorated for international guests, it seemed the goblin spared no expense in making the guest feel like royalty. Tsukiko said to him. "Go and have a seat, I will get the drink." Draco eyes widen in horror along with Crabbe and Goyle.

He said with panic. "NOOO... I mean, let me get the drink for all of us. Please!" Draco still remembered the last time Tsukiko got them drinks, he wondered how in the Merlin's pants she got uncle Snape favourite fire wine that he had stashed away, was beyond him. All he remembered was, when he woke up and found his uncle glared at him along with Crabbe and Goyle angrily. Tsukiko was nowhere to be found, it turned out she was sober enough to make it back to her dorm and she left them there to take the heat. They vowed to never let Tsukiko get drinks for them ever again. Draco picked out fruit juice and butter beer and poured them for everyone.

Draco sat down along with Tsukiko. Crabbe and Goyle each with a drink nearby.

Tsukiko said to him. "Draco. Officially I'm here to greet the representative of house Schnee of the American magical."

Draco noticed the official part and said to Tsukiko. "Unofficially?"

Tsukiko smiled mischievously and said to him. "Unofficially. It's actually a meeting between the Tohsaka and the north American dark lord, Adam Taurus." Draco almost fell out of his chair, his eyes widen in shock. However neither Goyle and Crabbe seemed to react at all to this news.

He said to Tsukiko in surprise. "You're going to greet a dark lord!? The Tohsaka is going to meet him. Why?"

Tsukiko smiled at him and said. "I can't tell you why, since the content of this meeting is top secret, even as we speak now, the goblins are diverting the ministry attention away from the continental gate. As to why. How much do you know about the history of American magical?" Draco had to admit, he doesn't know much about the history of the American magical, all he knew was the reputation of the dark lord Adam Taurus. How he decimated an army of hit wizards and left the field red with their blood. The north American dark lord was listed as equal to 'You-Know-Who' under the ICW, when he was alive. Dark lord Adam Taurus had a hexed on sight order from the ICW. Why would Tsukiko Potter and the Tohsaka want to meet someone like that.

Draco replied to Tsukiko question. "I know about Adam Taurus, but I know next to nothing about the history of American Magical."

Tsukiko said to him. "That's not surprising. A lot about the history of American magical was covered up. Great many nations within the ICW chose not to acknowledge those particular history due their own sense of ego and superiority." Draco watched as Tsukiko drank a mouthful of butter beer before she continued. "To understand the current situation, you need to know the history and what had happened before. Draco, do you know what happened to majority of magical that was found guilty of crime or offence against the Ministry of Magic and International Statute of Secrecy prior to the 1718 construction and use of Azkaban prison."

Draco frowned and said. "No I don't."

Tsukiko said to him. "Instead of imprisoning the offending wizards or witches, It was easier and cheaper to exile them to the new colonies. Magical Ministry in Europe and Russia also send their criminal into exile even well after 1718. Now think about it, a mass exile of magical criminal, normally a whole family made to leave their home for an unknown world. The magical Ministry that exiled them would assume they would never survive and forgotten about them completely. Some of those families with skills in dark magic or other forbidden arts found themselves on a land filled not with despair like those who exiled them had hoped, but a land of unlimited opportunity. A great number of those family grew into power that could rival the ministry that exiled them. However there was a massive division between those families as they fought each other for power, wealth and resource. In the period of 1861 to 1865 the war intensified to a whole different level. One of the family committed an act that was worse then even the unforgivable. This was the history that all magical Ministries attempted to hid at all cost."

Draco noticed Tsukiko face darkened as the room temperature dropped. "The offending family summoned denizens of the burning hell into our world as they attempted to tip the scale of the war in their favour."

Draco eye widened in shock as he shot out of his seat and shouted in panic. "Have they gone mad!? Don't they know what would happen if demon kind get a foothold in our world..." Draco was cut off when Tsukiko slammed a book on top of his head.

Tsukiko said to him with annoyance. "Don't interrupt me when I'm telling the story. Let me finish!" Draco rubbed his head and sat back down as Tsukiko continued. "The action of this family caused all the other wizard families within American magical to band together. It was a long bloody battle, many wizards and witches perished battling the demons of burning hell. The battle was only won against the demon because of the 'half breed' or what they called 'mixed blood' families, when they joined in." Draco tried not to sneer, it's still a hard habit to break and Tsukiko would definitely hit him if he slip up.

He said to Tsukiko. "What could those half breed or mixed blood do?" Draco was once again hit on the head with a book.

Tsukiko said with annoyance. "I'm getting to that! Those mixed blood families were not your standard half breed. Those families tried and succeeded in creating generations of magical and Fae hybrid. Possessing greater magical power, physical strength, inhuman toughness, inhuman speed and even magical resistance. Those wizards and witches possess all the benefit of their Fae ancestry and none of their weakness. They turned the war around and drove the demon kinds from our world. Afterwards they were hailed as heroes and champions within the American magical. There was over a hundred years of peace within the American magical, until twenty years ago."

Draco was dreading this and said to her with caution, while protecting his head. "Wait. So the reason why the other Magical Ministries covered up what happened in America, was because one family summoned demons into our world and we were all subsequently saved by half-breed. I can see why they would want to cover all this up." Draco expected to be hit again with a book, he wasn't expecting a soft chuckle from Tsukiko.

He blushed a bit when Tsukiko smiled warmly at him. "That was actually quite observant on your part, Draco. Yes, you are correct. The idea that half-breed end up saving the world really rankled all those 'Pure-blood' wizard, they gone so far as to completely wipe the event from their histories and banned any attempt to publish those event outside of American magical."

Draco thought for a moment and said to Tsukiko. "Tsukiko, you said they had peace for over a hundred years, so what happened twenty years ago... sorry if I interrupted you, please don't hit me again."

Tsukiko glared at him and said. "See that you don't. Twenty years ago. The American Ministry tried to introduce the 'Mixed-blood' registration act. They wanted to publicly named and trace everyone with Fae blood. This was met with angry reaction from majority of American magical and those who had Fae ancestry. At the time, the bill was expected to be defeated and would never make it pass the vote. However to the dismay of many American magical, the bill was voted through, but that wasn't what had triggered the start of the civil war twenty years ago. One of the ministry worker leaked a second proposed plan by the American Ministry to proclaim all 'Mixed-blood' to be the 'Property' of the Ministry."

Draco paled, he knew what that meant. Form the books he had read about world war one and two, the Nazis declared all Jews to be properties of the state, afterwards they stripped them of their wealth, status and freedom. The American Ministry tried the same thing on those 'Mixed-blood'. Tsukiko said to him. "From your expression there. You knew what the American Ministry had planned for the 'Mixed-blood'. Glad to see you're getting smarter and start to see how twisted the world could really be." Tsukiko leaned back and said to him. "That's how the current civil war started. Within the ICW, the American Ministry send their representative to portray them as a peace loving nation and those fools within the ICW ate it all up or just ignored the truth. However behind the curtain that's the American Ministry laid a shadow government hell bend on enslaving the 'Mixed-blood' and they are losing the war badly. The rebel forces controlled nearly eighty percent of the American magical and it's resource. I estimate the war would end in about two to three years time."

Draco was puzzled and ask. "Why do the ICW not recognise the rebel forces within the American magical as the legitimate government? Why would they chose a shadow government that only have twenty percent control?"

Tsukiko said to him. "Because the rebel forces was being led by 'Mixed-blood' families and it's leader Adam Taurus. The pure-blood families within the other magical Ministries refuse to recognise them until they have no choice, but to recognise them. Until then they fooled themselves into think somehow the pure-blood within American Ministry of Magic would somehow win and take control again. At least the ICW has no appetite to send their own wizards to aid the shadow government in a losing battle."

Draco leaned back and thought for a moment. He said to Tsukiko. "So Adam Taurus is fighting for his people, for their freedom, then how is he a dark lord?"

Tsukiko smiled and said to him. "Draco. The title of dark lord are given to those who royally pissed off the Ministry, Wizengamot or the ICW. You don't need to go on a mass killing spree, torture puppies and kittens or even gather like minded followers. All you need to do is pissed the wrong people off and they will slap you with the title of dark lord. However I would suggest you show respect when you meet Adam Taurus. He did kill an army of hit wizard and I'm going to show you what a real dark lord is truly like when he come through that gate." Tsukiko then looked at her watch and said to him. "In about five minutes time."

This was Draco first time at the gate. He looked at the gate in awe. It was made of one huge piece of mirror with a circular metal ring frame the circular mirror. The silver metal ring had many runes etched onto it's surface. Quite frankly, it was a beautiful piece of work. The runes on the ring lights up and the mirror shimmered like the surface of a lake. Three people exited the gate. A young woman with long white hair the colour of pure snow, it was not the colour of age, it still retained a vibrant glow of youth, she had sky blue eyes, a faint vertical scar on her left eye that had not diminished her beauty in the slightest, she wore a mixed colour dress in white and light blue, the inner collar of her jacket was vibrant red, over all the woman had an unearthly beauty to her presence.

The next woman caught Draco completely off guard, she had long wavy black hair with amber eyes, what struck Draco the most was her ears, this woman had a pair of 'cat' ears atop her head and they were REAL! The woman wore a mix of black and white clothing that was form fitting, it brought out all her curves, Draco knew the clothing was more for manoeuvrability then formal occasion. Draco found the mixed-blood woman mature and attractive, he still had to fight down the reflex of sneering at those with less then pure blood heritage. He also noticed Tsukiko was keeping an eye on him.

The man in the middle gave Draco all the motivation he needed to buried the reflex. The man had swept back red hair the colour of freshly spilled blood, unlike the ginger red of the Weasley. Draco noticed the man had what appears to be horns on top of his head, he wore a white mask that covered the upper half of his face and his eyes, none the less Draco could feel the gaze of the man upon him. He wore a black suit similar to those wore by muggles, his coat was button strangely on his upper right chest, the coat had strange motif of red thorny vines. It was only now that Draco noticed all three had weapons on them. The white hair girl carried a rapier of sorts. The cat girl carried strange rectangle sword. Adam Taurus carried what appeared to be a samurai sword with a strange sheath. Draco could feel the presence of all three, his danger sense told him to be weary of all three as they could cut him down before he could even utter one syllable. Draco could feel an unnatural pressure from Adam Taurus, a presence that demand respect and obedience.

Tsukiko stood just in front of Draco on his left side with Crabbe and Goyle behind them. Blake gave her a look, Tsukiko gave her an amused half smile just outside of Draco view. Tsukiko bowed to Adam Taurus and said with the highest respect. "Lord Taurus. Allow me to introduce you to my subordinates." Tsukiko palm facing upwards and gestured to Draco. "Draco Malfoy of house Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle." Tsukiko then looked to Draco and said. "Draco, This is Lord Adam Taurus, Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee of house Schnee."

Draco then said with the most stiff posture possible. "Lord Taurus. On behalf of house Malfoy and Ministry of magic allow me to welcome you to great Britain."

Adam looked at Draco and said in a unimpressed and flat tone. "A pure-blood noble from great Britain? I see they taught you well in coating your tongue with honey, but how is your steel? Do you have the back bone that would permit you to stand in my presence." Tsukiko glanced at Draco to see his reaction. She only barely saw Adam drew his sword and rest the edge of his blade on the side of Draco neck. Crabbe and Goyle already fell on their ass. She almost whistled at Draco posture, he stood stocked still, unflinching and stared at Adam with unmoving eyes. Adam gave him a half smile and said. "I see you have some steel in you after all, unlike your subordinate. I look forward to great thing from you, boy." Adam said to her. "Let's go, I would like to get the meeting over and done with. Lead the way, young lady." Tsukiko led Adam, Blake and Weiss out of the gate room and left Draco and his henchmen behind. Before she left the room.

Tsukiko said to Draco and his group. "I will see you guys at Hogwarts. Have a good day."

Draco was at a lost for words when Adam Taurus looked down on him and pure-blood in general. He wanted to argue, to retort with sneer and angry remark. However he remembered what Tsukiko said, here stood a man who cut down an army of hit wizards and before he could say anything. A crimson red blade was already on his neck. Draco was absolutely scared out of his mind, his body completely froze up, even his eye lids and iris had frozen up. He was so stock still, he would have made a statue proud. Even after Adam Taurus complimented him on having a back bone and Tsukiko bid them farewell. He stood completely still. His whole body was still petrified in terror after that encounter.

Crabbe said to him in awe. "Boss, that was awesome. You didn't even move when he could have cut your head off! I didn't even see him move." That seemed to have broken the metaphoric spell that had frozen him.

His whole body shook with fear and he said to Crabbe and Goyle. "Crabbe. Goyle. Any idea where the nearest toilet is?"

Goyle said to him. "I saw one near the VIP room. Why?" Draco started walking towards the toilet while his whole body shook.

He said to them. "Because I think I just shat myself."

Tsukiko led Adam. Blake and Weiss towards the meeting room. She turned on the spot and said to Adam. "My apologies for not greeting you properly. Sensei."

Adam said to her with a smile. "That's quite all right. Tsukiko-chan, I assumed you tried to teach your subordinates some valuable life lessons."

Adam was interrupted by Blake as the older girls hugged her and said to her in joy. "Tsukiko! It's so good to see you again. You really should come and see us more often."

Weiss then said to her. "Yes. You should visit more often. Ruby have been quite restless lately. We need someone to distract her. None the less it's good to see you again. Tsukiko." Before Tsukiko could reply.

Adam hit both Weiss and Blake on top of their heads and said in an admonished tone. "You two can play and visit outside of work. We got a meeting to attend to. Lead the way Tsukiko-chan." Tsukiko led them into the meeting room, Sacchin was already inside, she had a brief case ready on the table. Tsukiko joined Sacchin beside her as all of them seated themselves around the table.

Tsukiko led the meeting and said to Adam. "The head of Tohsaka have decided to increase our effort in your civil war. The head of house has given me permission to give those to you." Tsukiko opened the brief case and showed them the content.

Weiss gasped in surprise. The brief case was filled with the one item that had changed her life completely. Weiss thought back to the day of her ascension rite as the head of Schnee over two years ago.

(Flash back)

Weiss had prepared for this day since she was born. The rite of passage to qualify her as the head of house Schnee. She needed the position more then ever now due to the civil war, her family was split on whether to support the pure-blood government or the rebel forces. Her older brother was convinced their mixed-blood status would be hidden due to how similar they looked to human and they had important ties to the government. Weiss disagree. She wanted to fight with her friends and fight for what was right. She refused to cower behind a lie while everyone else suffered, she refused to let the Schnee house end with her brother. She issued her challenge for the leadership of Schnee. However she was careless, she thought her brother would be honourable and follow the tradition set down by the Schnee house, she never expected her drink to be poisoned. The poison had blocked her magic, she could not summon her glyph or access her 'Dust' power.

Weiss knew without her magic, she stood next to no chance against her brother. It was then her friend Ruby came to visit her with a friend. Ruby was barely fourteen, but she was a renowned weapon smith and 'dust' user. Rose was also a mixed-blood like her, unlike her, she had silver iris instead of white hair. The young girl Rose brought with her looked to be about nine or ten years old. She had long black hair with emerald green eyes.

The young girl introduced herself. "Hello. Miss Schnee. My name is Tsukiko Potter. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Weiss tried to hid her pain and said with a forced smile. "Hello Tsukiko. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please call me Weiss, any friends of Ruby are also my friend."

She shook Tsukiko hand and was surprised when Tsukiko said to her with alarm. "Miss Schnee... No I mean Weiss. You're poisoned! We need to fix this right away!"

Ruby looked at her with alarm and Weiss said quickly. "No. I'm all right. The poison only blocked my magic. I'm not in any danger."

Weiss then said with a sad tone. "But I won't be able to challenge my brother for the leader ship of Schnee with the way I am. After today house Schnee will be an enemy of the rebels."

Weiss had not expected what the young girl Tsukiko said to her next. "It's not too late. I can fix this." The girl took out a gem stone with inner glow. "Swallow this gem. It will force open all your magic and break the poison as well. Please trust me and don't give up." Common sense would dictate that you should not eat a gem stone. She gave a look towards Ruby who smiled and nodded at her. She hesitantly took the red gem stone and swallowed it. Weiss felt her body burn as the poison was forced out of her, then she felt a massive surge of power from her magic, it was way more then she had ever felt before, she felt powerful, it was like all her dormant magic activated at once, what was that gem!?

Weiss said to Tsukiko. "What was that? I felt so much magic coursing through my body. How is this possible?"

Tsukiko said to her with a smile. "My head of house called them prana gems. It has the power to force open all your magical potential." The little girl then paled and looked very worried. She said with panic. "Oh no, I wasn't suppose to do that. Sister Rin is going to be very angry with me. I'm in so much trouble."

Ruby comforted the panic stricken girl and asked her. "It's ok. Tsukiko. Why would your sister be mad at you for helping a friend."

Tsukiko said to them. "The prana gem can give any magic user maximum use of their magic. Normally a witch or a wizard have to work hard all their life to access those hidden potential. The prana gem is a short cut. It give the user full access to those potential without years of training. The Tohsaka had to hid this information or everyone would go after them for those prana gem" Weiss understood now, the power she felt now was unreal, she could summon more magic and with greater ease. If those gems and this child fell into the hands of those pure-blood bigot. It would be a disaster.

Weiss looked to Ruby and then said to Tsukiko. "I promise on my magic, your secret is safe with me and a Schnee always keep their words. I'm sure Ruby don't want you to get into trouble with your sister. Right Ruby?"

Ruby said to them with a upbeat tone. "Your secret is safe with me! Tsukiko!" Later that day Weiss won against her brother with surreal ease and took over house Schnee as it's new leader.

(Flash back)

Weiss said with surprise. "Prana gems!"

Tsukiko smiled at her and said. "My head of house gave me permission to give the rebel forces one hundred prana gems to use as they see fit. Also Weiss, I release you and Ruby from the promise you two made to me. Please end the war once and for all. With those I am certain you will be able to end the war with minimal casualty."

Adam said to them. "What is prana gem? What does it do?" Weiss released from her promise told her story and her first meeting with Tsukiko to Adam and Blake. Blake looked extremely surprised, it was hard to tell what Adam was thinking behind his mask.

Blake said to Tsukiko and Sacchin with shock. "With this the war will be over in no time, but how does it work? How long does it last."

Tsukiko said to Blake. "I still cannot divulge the information on how it works, but the effect is permanent, it will last forever. So please chose wisely, only give the gem to those you trust absolutely."

Adam then said to her neutrally. "What do you want in return. I assume this is not free, if it came from your head of house." She took out a folder and handed it to Adam.

Adam read thought the folder at a fast pace and said to them. "That's quite an unusual demand, but well within our power to grant and compare to what you have given us, it's a bargain. You could have asked for more."

She said to Adam. "The various blood and dust samples are more academic interest. It's optional, if you and the other are willing to donate them. What we really want is diplomatic immunity and protection from the American Ministry of Magic when the rebel force finally defeated the shadow government. Tohsaka situation in Magical Britain might be safe at the moment. However the Tohsaka had made itself an enemy of Albus Dumbledore and his order of Phoenix. The situation will not always be in our favour, we need to make contingency plan just in case something went wrong."

Adam nodded at her in understanding and said. "Well, this is perfectly acceptable. I will see what can be done to fulfil everything on the list. Meanwhile..." Adam took a massive backpack off Blake and took out a book and said to her. "Your custom order from Ruby and here is a book on Iaido Kenjutsu. I think you are ready for this, now that your a bit taller then a year and a half ago."

Tsukiko opened the backpack and took out her custom order from Ruby. Tsukiko examine the hilt without the blade, it had an blade interlocking system like she designed and ordered, it was made of black steel enhanced with hardening magic, the wrapping around the blade handle was made from Acromantula silk dyed in black. The sheath was a rotating barrel that came with a handle just above the rotating barrel. She admired the craftsmanship of her new weapon. Ruby does excellent work, even thought this was not a 'Dust' weapon.

Adam said to her. "The barrel sheath has a permanent feather weight charm and extension charm on it, as you ordered. The barrel can hold up to a hundred blades despite it size. It has a quick eject and locking system. Your blade handle has a trigger for locking onto the blade and releasing them. Ruby also named your weapons 'Barrel and Slash'. Hope she met your expectations."

Tsukiko smiled and said. "Yep. This is perfect."

Blake said to Tsukiko with curiosity. "Why doesn't it have any blade, I know Ruby won't have forgotten to make them. Did you ask her not to make blades for those custom weapons."

Tsukiko said with a smile. "Yep. The blades I'm going to use with 'Barrel and Slash' work on the 'principle' of Azoth swords. Originally Azoth swords are amplifier of magic, capable of storing and releasing magic at command, it's commonly used in ceremonies and rituals."

Blake looked confused and said. "Don't you use gems to amplify and store your magic, why use Azoth sword. Seemed like a lot of trouble."

Tsukiko said with a nervous laugh. "Good question. I could just use gems to do anything I want with better result. However my head of house looked at my spending and decided to seriously limit my budget on everything. She told me that I would get new inspiration with limited resources. She was right in this case, with a blade I can add more rune inscriptions onto the blade and create more complex magic that would otherwise be impossible to execute with gems. I still need to test them out, but the result would be excellent."

Tsukiko had found a way to transfer runes perfectly and their full power onto steel without degradation. She found out the Horadric Cube were capable of combining rune words perfectly onto any piece of steel. First she insert the steel and the rune words into the Horadric Cube, it created a slab of steel with inscribed rune words with all it's power, then she had the Tachikomas forged blade with a hollow centre, lastly she meld the rune words steel into the centre of the blade with Alteration. All she needed to do then was filled the rune words blade with prana, store them within her 'Barrel' and it would be ready for use when 'Slash' locked with the blade. It was perfect! The meeting ended when Adam Taurus along with Blake and Weiss returned through the gate with the prana gems.

(Line break)

Tsukiko along with Rin and Arturia was dropped off at King's Cross station. Lancer already gone ahead via the mirror that was left in Gryffindor dorm room. They only had about fifteen minutes before departure time, they managed to make it to platform nine and three quarter. Tsukiko was about to ran straight into the wall when Rin stopped her.

Rin said to her. "Hold on Tsukiko-chan. My 'Structural Grasp' is showing me someone had tampered with the wall. The muggle repelling charm is still functioning. Lets teleport to the station, it would take too long to take this down without destroying the magical barrier." With a flash of multicolour light. Tsukiko along with Rin and Arturia found themselves on platform nine and three quarter.

Tsukiko looked around, seemed like no one noticed their teleportation, they quickly made their way onto the train along with their luggage. When they finally settled down into a room. She said to Rin. "Rin-oneesan. I'm going to go look for Hermione-chan. I will be back soon."

Rin replied. "All right. I will stay here just in case they showed up here. Also don't forget to practice you 'Structural Grasp', what happened a few minutes ago was sloppy. Keep using it." Tsukiko left the compartment and activated her 'Structural Grasp'. This particular magecraft was similar to Structural Analysis, except Structural Grasp allow the user to understand the structure through 'sight' instead of 'touch'. Shirou could also do this, but only with swords and weapons, anything else he need to touch them with his hands. Rin was still training her in using Structural Grasp through her eyes and it was slow progress.

Tsukiko looked around and found a young girl with light wavy blond hair with very pale skin. She wore some very strange accessories like cork necklace and plum earrings. The girl looked straight ahead dazed as if she was daydreaming. Her 'Structural Grasp' showed her the girl had blockage within her magic circuits located on both eyes. Tsukiko decided to be helpful, best not let Rin know that Shirou habit of helping people was starting to rub off on her. Tsukiko sat before the young girl and said to her with a smile. "Hello, are you all right. You seemed a bit distracted."

The girl just said dreamily. "Oh, I am quite all right. I'm just observing the Wrackspurt flying in and out of other peoples head, but you're very strange. I never seen four different kind of Wrackspurt live in the same head before."

Tsukiko had no idea what she was talking about, she said to the girl. "Well I have no idea what Wrackspurt are, but it's nice to meet you. I'm Tsukiko Potter." Tsukiko offered her hand in greeting.

The girl looked at her for a moment before she took her hand and said. "It's nice to meet you too. My name is Luna Lovegood." Tsukiko used 'Structural Analysis' on Luna and found out there was some damage and blockage to the magic circuits within her eyes, they were not life threatening. However in time those circuits would be damaged beyond repair. She could flush out the blockage and hope her circuits would eventually recover. Tsukiko was surprised when Luna said to her. "Did you find what you are looking for? Miss Potter." Tsukiko noticed her light blue eyes had sharpened with unrivalled focus.

Tsukiko sighed and said with a embarrassed tone. "My apologies, Miss Lovegood. I noticed something odd within your eyes and now I know there is some damage within them. I didn't mean to peek, in fact I'm surprised you noticed. If you want I can repair them."

She noticed Luna eye soften once more and said to her. "If you can fix them. Then that would be lovely, Miss Potter. It does get quite annoying seeing all those Wrackspurt all the time."

Tsukiko smiled and said to Luna. "This might hurt a bit." Tsukiko placed her right hand onto Luna left temple and channelled her prana straight into Luna eyes, unblocking the circuits.

Luna said to her with a lazy tone. "Ouch." Tsukiko smiled, Luna was a very interesting and amusing girl.

Tsukiko said to her. "Well. Miss Lovegood. If you need anything, you can find me in Gryffindor. I would be more then happy to help you."

Tsukiko made to leave her compartment when Luna said to her in a dreamy tone. "Miss Potter. Call me Luna next time. It feel nicer that way."

Tsukiko replied. "Sure, if you call me Tsukiko."

Luna smiled at her and said. "OK, see you later. Tsukiko."

Tsukiko returned to her compartment where she left Rin and Arturia, to discovered a scene straight out of pandemonium. Somehow Hermione got Rin in a headlock, Tsukiko knew this was going to end very badly for Hermione.

Hermione could not believe Tsukiko would pull the same prank twice. Hermione was delayed by Ron with homework problem, she turned up a bit late at the cabin that Tsukiko planned to meet her in. when she turned up, two strangers greeted her. The brown hair girl introduced herself as Rin Tohsaka. Hermione thought to herself. 'Like hell I am going to fall for that twice' She got Rin Tohsaka in a headlock and said to her in annoyance. "I can't believe you came here in disguise AGAIN. Do you really think I would fall for the same trick twice?"

Tsukiko was sweating bullets and said to Hermione with a tone of concern. "Hermione-chan. What are you doing?"

Hermione looked towards Rin instead of her and said angrily. "What does it look like!? I can't believe you disguised yourself again."

Tsukiko worries doubled, she said to Hermione. "Hermione, If I'm standing over here, then who that you got in a headlock?"

Hermione said angrily. "It's you of course..." Hermione eyes widened in shock as she looked at her then back at Rin, then to her again. Tsukiko said a prayer to Hermione when Rin started to cackle with malice.

Several students heard a loud "POP" and a shriek of absolute agony from a unknown compartment.

Tsukiko tried to comfort Hermione to the best of her ability, she said to Rin with annoyance. "Rin-oneesan, you didn't have to dislocate Hermione shoulder."

Rin said to her angrily. "The brat got it coming. I was being nice, ready to shake her hand and she put me in a headlock. She was lucky I didn't just rip her arm clean off."

Hermione said to her shakily with tears streaming out of her eyes. "Tsukiko-chan. My shoulder is dislocated? She dislocated my shoulder? It really hurts."

Tsukiko sat Hermione down and said to her. "Hermione-chan. I'm going to pop your shoulder back in, all right. We will do it on the count of three. All right?" Hermione nodded her head at Tsukiko.

Tsukiko got Hermione right arm into position and said. "All right. Just relax. One..." Tsukiko suddenly popped Hermione shoulder back into socket.

Hermione screamed in pain and said to her angrily. "What happened to two and three!?"

Tsukiko said sheepishly. "I'm sorry Hermione-chan. I needed your arm to relax when I pop them back in. it would have been a lot worse if you were tensed up."

After Hermione had calmed down, Tsukiko decided to properly introduce her sisters to Hermione. "Anyway. I know it's a bit late now, but allow me to introduce you to my sisters. Arturia Pendragon and Rin Tohsaka, the head of house Tohsaka ."

Hermione looked surprised and said. "Wait. She is the head of house Tohsaka, but she's just a kid!" Rin gave a evil glare at Hermione which caused Hermione to hid behind her and placed her between Rin and Hermione. Tsukiko honestly tried not to laugh at Hermione reaction towards Rin.

It was then Ron Weasley entered their cabin and said. "Mind if I sit..."

Rin said to him coldly. "Yes I do mind. Now get out, the cabin is full."

Ron literally scrambled out of the cabin and said to himself. "What the hell is that dark witch doing here!?" He need to find his brothers and somehow get in contact with professor Dumbledore.

Hermione watched Rin with fear. Placing Tsukiko between herself and Rin Tohsaka.

She noticed something on Tsukiko face and said. "Umm Tsukiko-chan. When did you start wearing glasses?"

Tsukiko laughed nervously, but it was Rin who said to her. "It her magus training. My idiot apprentice had been slacking off with some key fundamentals and now that I am here. I'm going to make sure she is being trained in the correct method."

Hermione was surprised and said to Rin while peeking around Tsukiko. "Wait, you're teaching Tsukiko-chan? You're her teacher!?"

Rin said to her. "Yes I am. However instead of teacher, she call me master. It's the proper title between us, before you start saying I'm only a kid and so on. I should let you know, I am WAY smarter and better then Tsukiko-chan."

Hermione digested the information and said with curiosity. "So why the glasses?"

Rin put on her glasses and said to her with a beaming and friendly smile. "Magus use two or more persona at the beginning of our training. We have a cover persona for social occasion that is both friendly and easy to get along with." Hermione could not believe the change before her. Rin became nicer and talked with such a friendly tone, she almost forgot this was the same girl who dislocated her shoulder.

Hermione then watched Rin take off her glasses. Rin said to her in a sharp and arrogant tone. "Then we have our magus persona or our real personality that we use for work relating to magecraft or personal time." Hermione almost flinched at her change.

She said cautiously. "All right. That's complicated, why do you need two personality?"

Rin once again put on her glasses and said with that positive and easy to get along personality. "Because magus are generally difficult people to get along with. Great many number of people find our real personality and behaviour difficult to handle, so we created a friendly persona for social occasion or for public appearance. Generally this is not our real personality."

Hermione eyes widened in shock and said. "Then Tsukiko, had she been pretending..."

However she was cut off by Rin. "No, Tsukiko-chan is a special case." Rin took off her glasses and said seriously. "My apprentice neglected her training. Normally a persona swap is triggered with certain items, like glasses, ring or other accessory. Tsukiko chose to do her persona swap without any triggers, which resulted in a rather unstable mix of personality." Hermione noticed Tsukiko was fidgeting with embarrassment. Rin said to her with a sigh. "The little idiot has cause me endless amount of head ache."

Hermione watched as Rin took out several beautiful gem stones and made them float in the air. Rin said to her. "Now that you know. I need to train Tsukiko-chan in another fundamentals. No use wasting time sitting around doing nothing." Rin then said to Tsukiko. "Tsukiko-chan, use 'Structural Grasp' and tell me what elemental magic each gems is holding. We're going to keep practising until you get it right one hundred percent every time." Hermione decided to ask Tsukiko later about those weird magic and other subjects. Her shoulder was still sore from what Rin had done. Tsukiko trained with Rin until they reached Hogsmeade. While she had a surprisingly pleasant chat with Arturia Pendragon.

(Line break)

Hermione along with Tsukiko, Arturia and Rin arrived at the station, Hagrid shouting for the first years to follow him. Professor Flitwick motioned for everyone else onto a horse drawn carriage. Hermione froze when she saw the creature that was pulling the carriage. It was pitch black with skeletal horse like body, it's head was more reptilian then horse, it had what looked like leathery wing folded up. The creature looked gaunt and ghostly. Hermione was afraid of this creature and said to Tsukiko. "Tsukiko. What is that thing pulling the carriage?" Hermione was confused when she saw Tsukiko face paled and saw a hint of fear in Tsukiko eyes.

But it only lasted a moment before Tsukiko said to her. "They're Thestral, they are a special breed of wing horses. They can only be seen by few gifted people, guess we're the lucky one's." Hermione nodded in agreement and steered as far away from the spectral horse as much as possible. Hermione never saw the look of concern Rin shot towards Tsukiko or the pained expression on Tsukiko face as she entered the carriage.

Rin was not impressed with the castle, she already seen Hogwarts from Tsukiko memories. They reached the entrance of Hogwarts and was stopped by professor McGonagall. Rin could actually relate to the stern woman in a way. However she could not trust professor McGonagall, she was too close an ally to the old bastard.

The professor said to them. "Are you Rin Tohsaka and Arturia Pendragon?" Rin took a step forward and said to her. "I'm Rin Tohsaka, the blond hair girl next to me is Arturia Pendragon. How may we help you professor?" The old woman smiled and said to her. "I like you two to come with me, please. It's not often we get transfer students from abroad. Even thought both of you are in the second year, you two will still need to be sorted. Please come along." The woman turned and started walking towards the entrance. Rin was confused, who could possibly recommended them to Hogwarts, she got a VERY bad feeling about this.

Hogwarts Main dinner hall

Ron was relieved to see Tsukiko and Hermione entered the dinner hall without that dark witch and her minion. Professor Dumbledore must had got his message and stopped those two, he honestly thought his brothers Fred and George hadn't taking him seriously when he asked them to contact Dumbledore or a professor, to inform them a dark witch was coming to Hogwarts. However he soon lost his smile when Rin Tohsaka and Arturia Pendragon entered the dinner hall with the first years.

Arturia was sorely tempted to cover her ears or kindly asked the sorting hat to stop singing. The song reminded her of that horrid court jester with green hair, ear splitting smile, red lip stick and white face paint. He even wore a horrid purple robe. After that day she issued a royal decree that declared no jester would be allowed to show themselves in her presence. After the song was sung, professor McGonagall started to shout out names of students.

Soon her name was called. "Pendragon. Arturia." Arturia stepped forward and sat down on the stool while professor McGonagall placed the hat on her head.

She heard a voice in her head. 'I must say. You cannot seriously compare my singing to that court jester. I feel mortified.'

Arturia thought back. 'Good sir. I can assure you my ears have yet to fail me, you song was that terrible.'

The hat gave her a muffled laughter and said. 'Lets get you sorted shall we, I need to look into your memories.' There was a long moments of silence as the sorting hat looked through her memories. The hat finally said to her. 'So that's what really happened. I knew the life of king Arthur was not easy and full of tragedies. However the truth was far worse then the written histories. Your life was not an easy one. My King.'

Arturia thought back. 'I am no king. Good sir. I have failed my kingdom and subjects, now I am just a girl.'

The sorting hat replied with amusement. 'I have to disagree. Your legend span through out the ages, you have succeeded more so then any king past or present. I have looked through the mind of young witches and wizard since the founding of Hogwarts, do you know what they all have in common.'

Arturia replied sombrely. 'No, I do not know.'

The sorting hat said to her with warm mirth. 'For over a thousand years since the founding of Hogwarts, all the witches and wizards I have sorted, thought of you as a good and just king, they all embodied your ideal to a degree. They all sought after Avalon, the ideal of 'Everdistant Utopia'. So my king. You had not failed, you have succeeded in inspiring generations of great people, muggle and magical to do even greater deeds, but enough prattle from this dusty old hat, it's time to sort you into the house just for you.'

Arturia was not convinced, she wanted to argue with the sorting hat. However it shouted in a loud and cheery voice. "House Gryffindor. Meet the Lion of Gryffindor. Arturia Pendragon!"

Professor McGonagall was stunned. The sorting hat had never gave such title or praise to any one student. The hat proclaimed the girl, Arturia Pendragon as 'Lion of Gryffindor'. There was a moment of silence before clapping and cheer was heard from the Gryffindor table, it was soon followed by Hufflepuff then Ravenclaw. Professor McGonagall continued with the sorting after the noise died down.

Albus was having a very nice stew, he was happy to hear the new transfer student was give the title of 'Lion of Gryffindor', the sorting hat must had been impressed with her. However he soon chocked on his stew when the name 'Tohsaka. Rin.' was shouted out by professor McGonagall. Albus almost panic and thought. 'How did this happen? When did this happen?' The girl had brown hair tied into twin pony tails, she had blue eyes. Her facial feature showed a mixed heritage of Europe and Asia. She stepped forward towards the sorting hat. Albus calmed himself down and thought it must be a coincident. She could not possibly be related to 'THE Tohsaka.' not when Tsukiko was named heir. Albus continued to eat his stew quietly, waiting for the verdict which house this girl would go into.

Rin sat on the stool after her name was called out and the hat dropped on her head. Rin created a mind scape within her mind and was greeted by the sorting hat in the form of hat for his head and flowing robes for his body.

The hat said to her. "We meet again. Miss Tohsaka, although I have to wonder why you're a twelve year old now instead of your twenty five year old self." Rin pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.

She said to the hat. "You can blame Tsukiko for that. She made a big mistake. Which I'm sure you will see within my memories. However I'm going to accompany you, all you need to see are events to determine my personality, not my private life or the secrets to my mysteries."

The hat replied. "Very well. It will take a while to sort through, but I will comply."

Rin and the sorting hat made their way through Rin life and experience. Rin noticed the hat looked grim at the event of the fourth holy grail war and downright disturbed by the fifth holy grail war, everything was fine until they arrived to Rin first meeting with Zelretch. Rin watched the memories of herself meeting the old vampire, just as he turned and faced her.

The sorting hat shouted in surprise. "Salazar Slytherin?! You knew Salazar Slytherin and you're his apprentice!"

Rin said with confusion. "Salazar Slytherin? That's Zelretch, and yes I'm his apprentice and I hated every moment of it. You sure you're not mistaken?"

The sorting hat said with conviction. "I was made by Salazar Slytherin along with the help of other three founders and I can say with two hundred percent certainty that man in your memory is Salazar Slytherin, at least that what he called himself when he founded Hogwarts." Rin thought for a moment while the sorting hat looked through her other memories. Rin had a realization. Tsukiko heritage, how she was related to Satsuki and Lancer even thought they were from different dimensions. Reports of Tachikomas impossible journey into what seemed like alternate universe within Hogwarts. Everything actually made sense when you add a factor known as Zelretch into the equation.

Rin sighed in annoyance and said to herself. "That fucking old blood sucker. Even now he's still screwing with my life."

The sorting hat then said to her. "Well I have decided. You are definitely Gryffindor."

Rin was tempted to Gandr the sorting hat right there right now, instead she asked. "Why? I honestly thought I'm a Ravenclaw or a Slytherin. What made you think I'm a Gryffindor."

The sorting hat said to her. "The last two years of your life, before you were sealed within the soul stone. You spend almost everyday of those two years grieving for your boyfriend Shirou and continued his work on saving people. You showed unparalleled bravery and chivalry during those two years. Those actions eclipsed your Ravenclaw and Slytherin quality. I say Shirou ideal really rubbed off on you in the end and my verdict is the ultimate proof of your love and devotion to him."

Rin felt her face heat up and she said angrily with stutter. "W...Who W...would love that I... idiot." Rin took a deep breath and got herself under control. She said with anger. "Don't you dare tell ANYONE about this or I will make you suffer."

The sorting hat smiled at her and said. "You have nothing to fear, I will not divulge your secrets to anyone. Your secrets are safe with me. We should return now, before everyone gets worry." Rin and the sorting hat left her mind scape

Rin heard the sorting shouted. "Gryffindor!" However the room was completely silent. Rin noticed everyone stared at her in complete and total shock. She noticed Tsukiko and Arturia buried their face into their hands. Within moment loud talk and pandemonium had broken out within the dinner hall.

Rin could hear loud talks of. "Salazar Slytherin is still alive!?"

There was also. "She's Salazar Slytherin apprentice!?"

There was also talk of disbelief. "How did she get sort into Gryffindor!? She should be a Slytherin!" Rin took the sorting hat off her head along with her glasses, she gave the sorting hat her coldest smile to date and attempted to pull the sorting hat apart with her bare hands while swearing like a Viking sailor in German, the sorting hat apologized profusely the entire time.

Albus Dumbledore almost fell out of his seat when he heard the sorting hat shouted in surprise.

"Salazar Slytherin?! You knew Salazar Slytherin and you're his apprentice!"

Albus was in shock, Salazar Slytherin was still alive! And this young girl was his apprentice! This was beyond his worse nightmare, this would be known to everyone in Magical Britain by tomorrow. Albus was distracted and turned VERY red at some of the language the young lady was using on the sorting hat, some of the things she said even Gellert wouldn't use on a very bad day. Albus needed to find out more about this young lady Rin Tohsaka.

Tsukiko along with Arturia had to dragged Rin off the sorting hat and make sure she doesn't go back for round two. It took some time before the professors came out of their shock and restored order to the dinner hall. Many still stared and whispered about Rin. She still could not believe Zelretch was Salazar Slytherin, this was going to cause them a lot of problems. Tsukiko watched as the old goat introduced their new defence against the dark art professor, Gilderoy Lockhart. She almost groaned, she was going to be taught by a pompous ass, she almost missed Quirrell. The old goat then announced they have a school counsellor. Tsukiko was intrigued when a woman with sun kissed blond curly hair and bright green eyes stood before the students, she wore a pair of glasses, a white blouse, a mid length black skirt with a strange flowing purple cape. She was mature and beautiful. However she gave off a stern no nonsense aura, much like professor McGonagall. The old goat then said to them. "Please welcome our new school counsellor and my secretary. Glynda Goodwitch." The woman nodded at the students and sat back down. Tsukiko soon blocked out everything else the old goat said and waited for the food to arrive.

A dark voice hissed in absolute hatred. "WHY!? WHY HER!? Why did he chose her? Why did he chose a nobody half breed like her!? She must die! Rin Tohsaka MUST DIE!"

Virtual cookies for anyone who figured out what sort of enemies I planned out for RWBY. Now I will answer some reviews and will like to point out. You can PM me with questions and I will answer them to the best of my abilities without giving out spoilers. If you like to PM me, don't hesitate to do so, I will answer them ASAP.

One of my private message suggested I do a reference page for obscure pop culture terms and so on, and here they are.

Reference

The Blue Oyster Bar: A famous gay bar from 'Police Academy' 1984 film franchise that finished with their final film 'Mission to Moscow' 1994.

Continental Gate: Base this one from Stargate SG-1, I added my own twist to the design and function of the gate instead of just grabbing it from Stargate SG-1.

Horadric Cube: Diablo 2 item that can combine gems to make better quality gems along with other functions.

Barrel and Slash: The name of this weapon had yet to be released. I based this weapon from Raven Branwen in RWBY.

If there is any reference you are unsure about please post reviews or PM me, I will add them in as long as it does not spoil the story. Now onto the reviews.

Guest: The contract is magically binding and ethically illegal, but not magically or legally 'illegal'. In my fic Dumbledore is stubborn and will fight tooth and nails to get his way. Killing the Weasley would have created unforeseen consequence. Also the contract never stated who she will be married to, as long as it's a Weasley. For now the contract is dead and buried, but it will make a final comeback in the future.

Yzrac: I won't be able to throw everything in. However I will say this. ALL the Type will make an appearance, but not for a VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY long time. You might see a early prelude of it during end of year four and into year five.

Greyjedi449t: I have to admit, I am having some trouble choosing the right words and sentence. It's a learning process, that I am getting better and better at.

theblacklightprojekt: Hope my PM helped you.

Sono258: Minor crossover character is more of my whims and far more preferable then OC. Some might say why not get character from just HP or Type moon. Trouble is, I locked myself out of Type moon when I made it a cross dimension fic. There is no decent mercenaries or 'cleaners' within HP. Also flat character only happen if you don't give them a decent screen time or completely fulfil their role within the fic. I like to think I managed to bring out the best within those minor character from other fic. As for Nicolas Flamel. Him, the philosopher stone and his family is my own flavour and design. I made it this way even thought I knew about Perenelle Flamel. I wanted a Nicolas Flamel that hated the Philosopher stone and loath Alchemy, that he sought to wipe alchemy from the world.

Reishin Amara: You will have to wait and find out. Don't want to reveal the plot.

coronadomontes: I know mate. He really should suffer, but plot and good story come first before pleasure.

Rydan fall: I might use a couple of idea there, I will let you guess which one.

Solomon07: Shirou will get his screen time eventually. Also ALOT of character from RWBY will show up and play a part. Trust me on this one.

Raidentensho: I got plenty of ideas for Saber and Rin. As for lion plushy and other product. There is a certain blond witch that have some really good hand made lion product. I will try and not disappoint in year two.

Guest: If you are forced into celibacy against your will for five years and not allow to swear about it. It's more surprising Rin was still sane when she finally found freedom.

Hyperlunatic: No. Snape isn't that bad... yet. I based Snape more on doctor Cox from Scrub.

Elfin69: You will have to wait till the end of year four to find out. That's one of the main plots.

unknown114: Hermione isn't quite THAT horrible. Lina Inverse eat like a man, swear like a man, fight like a man. I'm almost tempted to call her a man with boobs. However Hermione temper is justified, in cannon she is a VERY competitive person who don't like to be in second place. In this fic, she is room with a girl, who is smarter then her, more develop then her and had a VERY unfair advantage over Hermione. Of course this made Hermione jealous and prone to anger, also made Hermione face her own shortfall and problem a lot earlier on in her school years. Hermione will develop a lot more at the end of year two.

IamParadoxic: Yep in chapter 11 I used RWBY, FMA, Hellsing with Pip. I also used Sawyer from Black Lagoon.

one mistake: Excellent point, but I have to go with Cu Chulainn. Due to two simple technical problem. Setanta is a common name back in those days and he did not have a third name to go by. This cause major problem when you tried to search for Setanta on google, you get Setanta sport and just about everything else, except it was Cu Chulainn first name. The second part, Cu Chulainn is a well known name, even Wikipedia use his title instead of his name when they describe an event or a simple picture. I know it make more sense to have his actual name show up on the scroll. However in this case I need to go by his title.

ok: Lancer? I don't remember trapping him within Tsukiko.

Shinoki: In this chapter Rin have one helluva head start in the swearing department, don't be surprised if she get chewed out big time for her language in the next chapter. Also thanks for pointing out the paragraph, I will head back to the previous chapter soon and start correcting them, since I begin to understand how past and present tense work, still need a lot of improvement, but that's half the fun.

Panzer4life: Rin and Arturia will make life miserable for more people then just Dumbledore, there are also couple of side plots active in this chapter which will be gradually revealed in year two. Expect the unexpected.
