"Zanpaku-to speaking"

(Scene Break)

Last Time…

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)

Present Time…

It was close to midnight when Ivy was exploring the castle, since she did not sleep. She had already ran into Professor Snape in a random hallway and he told her to make sure that other students were not roaming the halls as it was pass curfew and if they were, she was to give them detention and take house points off and then later inform him who she had caught.

Looking at the stars through a window, Ivy thought to herself, 'I wonder if Ron and Hermione would still be my friends, even with all of my changes? I do hope so.'

"If they are truly your friends, your changes will not matter to them, then," Akainu said with a serious voice as he sensed his Master's worry.

'Thank you, Akainu –kun,' Ivy thanked him. She always was grateful for his advice. Ivy let a small smile form on her face. Ivy was just grateful that she had Akainu as her Zanpaku-to as he always gave her very good advice and wisdom.

"Maybe, I should explore and try to find this legendary Chamber of Secrets and see what secrets it holds," Ivy muttered to herself as she recalled what Cedric had told her what had happened during what would have been her second year at Hogwarts.

Ivy felt sorry for Ginny, Ron's younger sister and what she went through all because of a little black diary. It was a good thing that Ginny handed that thing over to one of the professors once she had realized what was happening to her.

Suddenly, a familiar and dreaded sound was heard. Ivy's head shot up and she raced to the entrance, where Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and the Headmaster were standing and staring at the black eye-shaped hole in the night sky.

"What in Merlin's name is that!?" Snape asked in fear.

"That is a Garganta," Ivy replied as she was hoping against hope that whoever was coming out of it, wasn't who she think it is.

Professor McGonagall gasped, "Does that mean…"

Professor McGonagall never finished asking her question as two men stepped out of the Garganta. It was Nnoitora and a few steps behind him, was Tesra.

"This is not good, not good at all," Ivy whispered to herself in fear.

When Nnoitora and Tesra were in front of them, the Headmaster stepped forward and asked, "Welcome to Hogwarts. May I ask for your reason of coming here?"

Ivy and the two professors could tell that the Headmaster was tense and ready to defend at a second's notice, if these two decided to attack. It was the same with Ivy, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall, but in reality, only Ivy stood a chance against them. As magic is useless against Hollows.

Nnoitora sneered as he leveled Ivy with a glare that made her flinch, "We are here to deal with that idiot who thought it was a good idea to rip his soul into pieces."

Everyone, except for Ivy, stiffened at what Nnoitora had just said. The Headmaster asked in a cold yet calm voice, "How do you know about that?"

Nnoitora shrugged off the Headmaster's cold stare like it was nothing and answered like it was no big deal, "When it comes to something like this, both Hollows and Shinigami are willing to work together to punish those types of idiots. Things like this, does not escape our attention once its made known to us. I remember about a couple of centuries ago, just before I died and became a Hollow, another stupid idiot did the same thing and both of our kinds went after them."

The Headmaster sighed as he told them, "You two are welcome to stay as long as you two do not harm any student or kidnap Ms. Potter again."

"Very well, but if they try to attack me or Tesra or Ivy. I will be just defending us by any means necessary," Nnoitora smiled that also said that he will enjoy it as well.

Finally, the Headmaster relaxed slightly and turned to Ivy and told her, "Ivy, why don't you show these two to your rooms? I am sure that they will want to rest after their travels."

As they were about to leave, the Headmaster spoke up one more time, "And one more thing, in the morning, your godfather and another friend of your parents as well as Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger will be waiting in my office to see you again."

Ivy smiled as she felt tears forming at the corners of her eyes as she hugged her grandfather figure and quietly said, "Thank you, jiji!"

Nnoitora rolled his eye at the scene in front of him and snapped, "Come on, woman! Unlike you, Tesra and I do need our sleep. So lets get this show on the road!"

Ivy let go of the Headmaster and frowned at Nnoitora and his attitude and said in a monotone voice, "This way then, Nnoitora –sama, Tesra –san."

As the three of them left, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape both rounded on the Headmaster, demanding an explanation to the reason why he would let those two stay at Hogwarts and around Ivy Potter.

Meanwhile as Ivy was leading Nnoitora and Tesra to her rooms, she began questioning them, "Nnoitora –sama, are you planning to take me back after all of this is done?"

Nnoitora sneered, "Why would I want you, a weakly and a woman, back?"

Ivy's frown deepened at the so called answer, so she asked another question, "Then why are you here?"

Nnoitora, apparently, had enough with her questions as he snapped back angrily, "That is none of your business, woman!"

Ivy fought back the shudder of fear as she bowed her head and apologized, "My apologies, Nnoitora –sama."

Once they had reached the picture, Ivy gave the password and then showed Nnoitora and Tesra to their rooms. Before entering his room, Tesra turned around to face Ivy and mouthed one word 'sorry' and then went to bed.

Ivy collapsed on the very comfortable couch and stared at the dieing fire. She did not mean to be respectful to Nnoitora, but old habits, especially ones that were beaten into a person, were very hard to break and besides she knew that Nnoitora could have easily let her die back in Hueco Mundo. So she guessed that she owed him.

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