Flashbacks

"Zanpaku-to speaking"

(Scene Break)

Ivy, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and the Headmaster were sitting in the Headmaster's office. The Headmaster was sitting behind his desk, while the rest were sitting in very comfortable armchairs. Professor McGonagall was still wiping her eyes as she was still very happy to have one of her loins back.

"Ms. Potter, can you tell us what happened to you after you were kidnapped if you could?" Professor Dumbledore carefully asked her as he did not know how she would react to that question and he did not want to force for her to answer in case those memories held nightmares.

Ivy sighed tiredly and asked, "What do you know about Hollows?"

"HOLLOWS! How in hell are you still alive!?" Came a cry from one of the portraits of the previous Headmasters. Before the previous Headmaster could be questioned about his reaction, he had already left his frame.

"Hollows? What are you talking about Ms. Potter?" Professor Snape asked. He, of course, heard of them from the Dark Lord in the first war, but really never understood what that meant. He was shaken from the reaction to that word, Hollows.

Ivy began explaining everything that she knows about soul reapers and Hollows. Even though, Ivy did not know a whole lot about soul reapers, she still told them what she knew, but she told a whole lot about Hollows as she had lived in their world.

After she explained how everything work and the balance, the three professors were very pale at what they had learned. They had no idea that there were things that was a lot worse than the Dark Lord. And that was frightening to learn.

"Now, that you understand about that, I will tell you what happened to me after I was taken," Ivy said as she closed her eyes as she began recalling the memories.

"I was dragged to the Hollow world by my former master Nnoitora. His reason was that I was a power source that he could use. Master Nnoitora always had this belief that all women are weaker than men, but after a time, he decided that he needed a strong woman by his side and he began training me. Well, it was more like torture with all of those beatings. After about some months, I met Tesra, who also followed Nnoitora. During this time, I had learned a lot of things, like if I was ever fall asleep, I would be eaten by other Hollows."

Professor McGonagall gasped in horror, but did not say anything, while the Headmaster and Professor Snape were both pale as they could not picture of never sleeping and still be sane. It was impossible in their minds.

"So it has been years since I last slept. Since it has been so long that I believe that I have lost my ability to ever sleep again. Another thing that I had to learn was to absorb Hollow spiritual pressure as it was food to me. Because Tesra told me once, that every time that he eats another Hollow, he gains the voices of that Hollow and whoever that hollow had eaten. So I decided to live off of Hollow spiritual pressure as it was the safest thing to do at the moment. At first, it was very difficult to do and I usually went hungry for a week after trying, but I learned to do it after a while."

"As the years passed, my body changed and adapted to the Hollow world. My skin is almost as hard as the Hollows'. I had gained most of their abilities except their ability to create a portal to the World of the Living. In the Hollow world, two years is equal to one year in the World of the Living."

The professors understood what Ivy was saying, but could not believe that time went by that fast. No wonder that Ivy Potter looked to be almost eighteen years old instead of fourteen. She continued on explaining what happened and how she got her Zanpaku-to.

"About little over two years ago, Tesra came back from scouting ahead. Ma… Nnoitora always sent him to do the scouting, he never sent me to do it. Don't know why, but I'm grateful for that. Anyways, Tesra came back after hearing some unsettling rumors. There were three soul reapers looking for Vasto Lords and would change them into Espadas. It was said that less than half survive the changing process. These soul reapers were building up an army, so they could take on the Soul Society."

The professors recognized how similar their situations were and it scared them. That people would try the same thing that Voldemort did.

"Those rumors had Nnoitora so unsettled that we did not stop traveling for a couple of weeks straight. We did not even stop to rest even for a minute. During that time, Nnoitora kept Tesra and me very close to him, he did not let us out of his sight for even a second. Luckily, I was a very sensitive sensor that I could track others even miles away. When we finally had to stop to rest, I sensed the three soul reapers coming at us, Aizen, Gin who probably a spy for the Soul Society, and Tosen caught up to us."

Ivy went on telling the Headmaster and the two professors what happened during her stay in Los Noches. How the war finally broke out, how she was freed from the control of Nnoitora, and that she took that time to help the deputy soul reaper out to save his friend. She even told them about the warning that she received from Ulquiorra about them two not being dead yet. She kept on talking to them about the events until they came to the Hospital Wing.

(Scene Break)

When she was finished talking, it was very late in the evening. And the Headmaster escorted her to her own private room that she would be living in for now on.

Before the Headmaster left, Ivy asked the one question that was bugging her, "Headmaster, were you aware that there was soul fragment lodged in my scar?"

When the Headmaster turned around, Ivy saw how tired he really looked and that he looked like he also had the weight of the world on his shoulders as he answered honestly, "I suspected it, but I wasn't sure. I did not want to find out the hard as the only way to remove a soul fragment for a living vessel was to kill it. Meaning that you, my dear girl, would have to die to destroy it and that was the last thing that I ever wanted to do. But may I ask how you found out?"

"Nnoitora found the soul fragment and he destroyed it," Ivy answered as truthfully as possible as she did not have the memory of it. "You know something, when Kenpachi Zaraki defeated Nnoitora, there was a feeling that I did not understand, but now after telling you and the others about my past. I finally understood what I felt."

The Headmaster raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you feel, my dear?"

Ivy sat down on the couch and said, "It felt like I lost a father figure. You know, because Nnoitora was always there for me, care about me in his usual mean rude way, but he made sure that I was taken care of, like a father does with his daughter. I guess he was the closest thing ever to having a father."

"Goodnight, my dear girl," Professor Dumbledore said before leaving.

"Goodnight, Headmaster," Ivy responded.

(Scene Break)

In the Soul Society…

The captains were lined up as it was a captains' meeting.

Head Captain Yamamoto continued, "Since Avalon's Central 44 had forbidden them from messing in the World of the Living, even if it's to bring justice to those who upset set the balance, their Head Captain asked me to send a few captains and soul reapers to do the task of getting rid of the soul fragments in Britain. So far two were destroyed and there are at least six soul fragments including the source. I will be sending Captains Ukitake, Kurotsuchi, Gin, and Kenpachi. And soul reapers Rukia, Yumichika, Ikkaku, Renji, and Hanataro. Be ready to leave in a week. Dismissed."

Shunsui appeared by Jushiro's side and exclaimed cheerfully, "Jushiro, you know something; you will be able to see your girlfriend!"

Before Jushiro could say anything as he was blushing up a storm, Shunsui used flash step to escape his angry vice Captain. It has been barely a day since the war ended and Shunsui has been teasing him none stop about Ivy Potter.

But secretly, Jushiro really did want to see her again.

(Scene Break)

In the Hollow world…

"You say that some idiot tore his soul into pieces in Britain. What a foolish bastard. Doesn't he know that doing that is a one way ticket to the Gates of Hell! Tesra, we're going to Britain," Nnoitora snapped.

Tesra bowed and asked, "Of course, Master. But may I ask why?"

Nnoitora rolled his eyes and sneered, "Because I destroyed a soul fragment that was stuck in Ivy's scar. It's safe to say that she would be a target. She is a part of this group and we take care of our own. Even if it means chasing away idiots who are after Ivy and her status. Besides, we don't want her to fall in love with some idiot in the World of the Living. I will accept anyone else even if they are one of those blasted soul reapers."

With that Nnoitora opened a portal that led them straight to Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.

AN: I hope that you all like it. Please review and tell me what you think of it. Have a nice day, everyone.
