Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Harry Potter or of Bleach. I really wished that I did, but sadly I do not. This is the fact of life. I just want to say 'Thank you' to all of those who wrote a review, favored, and or followed this or any of my other stories.

Earlier that night…

The Gryffindor Tower and almost everyone was celebrating and partying after Professor McGonagall came into the tower late afternoon and announced that Peeves was indeed telling the truth about Ivy Potter and Cedric Diggory being back. Almost immediately the Professor was surrounded by the Gryffindor students that sort of personally knew Ivy as they asked when they could see her. But since it was only a couple of days before they returned home, Professor McGonagall said that it was up to Ivy to come and visit them on her own.

After almost everyone nodded their heads and accepted the answer and went back to what they were doing before the Professor came. But two people stayed behind and they were Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Professor McGonagall pulled them to the side and quietly told them that they will get to hopefully see Ivy in the Headmaster's office after breakfast tomorrow morning. Both of them could not wait to see their best friend after all of this time.

Both Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger changed over these last four years, since their best friend, Ivy Potter, was kidnapped. Ron Weasley was probably a foot and a half taller and more serious. After the kidnapping, Ron began to put some real effort into his studying and learning, in hopes that one day; he could track down Ivy and rescue her from the hands of her kidnapper.

Hermione Granger also grew taller, but not as tall as Ron. Her buck teeth were now normal size thanks to a trip to the Hospital Wing. Her brown air lost its frizz and now, it has soft brown curls and it went down passed her shoulders to the mid of her back. She also put more effort into research, trying to find what had kidnapped Ivy based off of Draco's descriptions of what took her. She got a few clues from an ancient tomes describing of a beast or rather a monster that very few have ever survived an encounter with, but those who did survive described a monster with a hole in their bodies and that these monsters can create portals to travel through. But that was all that Hermione could find on that subject.

Now during the party, both Ron and Hermione were sitting in a dark corner watching their fellow students party and celebrate, both were feeling relief and worry. Relief that their best friend had escaped from whoever or whatever had kidnapped her and that Ivy is now safe and sound hopefully. Worried, because they don't know what had happened to her and how it would affect her.

But really, they were very, very happy that Ivy was back at Hogwarts where she belongs.

The Slytherin Dorms…

Draco Malfoy grew up fast since his first year and he has become more mature. Ever since he witnessed Ivy Potter being kidnapped, his eyes were finally opened to really see what the world was really like. And frankly, he was extremely disgusted with it. The kidnapping was like a very extreme wake up call for him.

Draco stopped hiding behind his father's name and began putting more effort into making his own path in life. He quit looking down on others, who were different or not from a pureblood family. He began treating everyone like a human being with equal rights. Sure it was very hard at first, but he is still improving.

After a while, Draco saw that most of the Slytherin House began following his lead, except for those very few that are truly loyal to the Dark Lord. Things began improving for the Slytherin House as the rest of the school, slowly began to accept them as friends.

Draco was extremely happy that Ivy was back at Hogwarts. Now, when he would see her, he will apologize to her for his treatment towards her and her friends. And hopefully, she would accept his apology.

Around seven o'clock in the morning…

Ivy was putting on a pair of black dress pants and an emerald green short sleeve button up shirt, which she was extremely grateful that the clothes were not white, like the ones that the bastard Aizen gave them. She was in a very happy mood, despite Nnoitora being in the next room beside her. Ivy did not mind at all that Tesra was here. It was Nnoitora that she feared and for a very good reason, too. The reason that Ivy was in a good mood is that she was finally able to get a shower on her own. In Los Noches, there were showers (like the ones in the high school gym's locker rooms, where there were no such thing as privacy.) and since she was not a Hollow, but a Shinigami, the other Hollows (lower ranking ones and some of the higher ranking ones as well) would try and kill her, despite being one of Nnoitora's Fraccion.

And since Nnoitora wanted her to keep her powers a secret mostly and alive and not injured, all three of them would take showers together. Thankfully, Nnoitora and Tesra never tried to do anything to her as they both believe that rapists were way below being trash and should be killed on the spot. And despite Nnoitora's personality, Nnoitora has a need to keep clean, which was good, since they would take a shower at least once a day if they did not train.

But still, it was very refreshing to finally take a bath or a shower, without anyone with you. Besides, the only one that she wants to see her like that would be her future husband, whoever he may be.

"Good morning, Ivy –chan," Tesra greeted her as he came down the stairs, after a wonderful shower he took and finally wearing clean clothes that the Headmaster somehow provided for them. Thankfully they were not white.

"Good morning, Tesra –kun. Sleep well?" Ivy asked as she put the book that she was reading, down on the table in front of her.

Tesra smiled as he answered as he sat down on a chair, "Very well. The bed was like heaven, compared to the hard stiff thin mats that they provided us and called them beds in Los Noches."

Before Ivy could say anything, both of them heard Nnoitora turn the water on in the shower, before stepping in.

"Better get the hair brush," Ivy said with a sigh. Tesra snickered, causing Ivy to glare at him. It was very well known between Ivy and Tesra that Nnoitora can not brush his hair without wanting to tear it out in anger. So Ivy and Tesra would take turns brushing Nnoitora's hair and this time it was Ivy's turn.

An Hour Later…

Nnoitora, Ivy and Tesra were following Professor Snape to the Headmaster's office. Already students were out and about, but it did not take very long for the Hogwarts students to see Ivy's lightning bolt scar, even though it was faded. Then the excited whispers began as the Hogwarts population began telling the foreign students about what had happened almost four years ago. But most were wondering why did Ivy Potter look older than fourteen?

"Please calm down and try to ignore the whispering, Nnoitora –sama," Ivy quietly said in Japanese when she saw Nnoitora's hand twitching towards his Zanpaku-to. She forgot that whispering always got Nnoitora irritable and kill happy.

Ivy was lucky that Akainu had turned into a wand for her, since she had lost her last wand in the endless desert.

When she was at the door of the Headmaster's office, where her two best friends were waiting, along with her godfather and another close friend of her parents. So Ivy was very nervous about seeing them.

As if sensing her nervousness, Nnoitora swung his arm around her shoulders and said with a smirk, "If they don't accept you, we will keep you, even if you're a woman."

"Thanks, I think," Ivy choked, before giving Tesra a small nervous smile, when Tesra squeezed her arm slightly in silent support.

When the four of them entered the office, there was silence in the office as everyone studied each other.

Ivy almost immediately recognized her two best friends from Hogwarts, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley; even though there were older than the last time that she saw both of them. On the other side of the Headmaster's office were two men. One has sandy brown hair, with scratch marks on is face that were almost completely healed and he has a very tired look on his face despite the excitement on it. Ivy, Nnoitora, and Tesra could sense that something was very different about him as his spiritual pressure did not feel quite human.

The other man standing next to him was shifting from foot to foot from both nervousness and excitement. He had black hair that was neatly cut and he has blue eyes that seemed to sparkle with mischief. Also, he had a somewhat of an appearance of a skeleton, but he seemed to be gaining back some weight.

"Ivy…" Hermione said before trailing off with uncertainty as she and Ron studied their best friend, not knowing what to expect from her after all of this time.

Ivy felt tears of happiness running down her face, before rushing towards both of them. Ivy began sobbing when she pulled both Ron and Hermione into a huge bone crushing hug. She was soon not the only one sobbing. Both Ron and Hermione were crying in happiness at seeing their best friend that they have not seen for almost four years.

"I missed you guys so much," Ivy managed to say through her tears and sobbing.

"We missed you, too, Ivy. We're just glad that you're back," Ron said in happiness.

Ivy could hear Nnoitora opening his mouth to say something rude, before a smacking sound was heard indicating that Tesra had smacked the back of the Nnoitora's head, which caused him to grumble, but did not stop him saying something rude.

When they pulled apart, they heard Nnoitora sneered, "This is why humans and women are weak; they are too damn emotional."

"Why you…" The black haired man was being held back by the sandy brown haired man as the other man tried to attack Nnoitora.

"Way to ruin the moment, Nnoitora," Ivy snapped back at him with a glare.

Nnoitora looked smug as he replied, "I do my best, woman."

Shaking her head, Ivy turned back to the others and said without a care in the world, "Just ignore him and his rude comments. He wouldn't be Nnoitora without his rude comments. In fact, if Nnoitora is being polite and respectful, than it's an imposter and you have a go a head to curse them then."

"Sadly, that is very true," Tesra spoke up, agreeing with Ivy.

"Hey now, wait a fucking minute, that's not true. I can be polite and respectful." At this statement, both Ivy and Tesra gave Nnoitora blank stares, causing him to continue. "I just don't feel like doing all of the stupid polite and respectful crap anyways."

Someone cleared their throat catching their attention. The Headmaster began, "Ivy, my dear girl, I want to introduce Sirius Black (He points to the black haired man) who is your godfather and wrongfully put in prison for a crime that he was innocent of and Remus Lupin (He points to the sandy brown haired man) who was a very close friend of your parents."

The manners that was taught to her by Tosen, kicked in and Ivy bowed while saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin."

Sirius shook his head and said cheerfully, "None of that mister stuff makes me feel old. Just call me either Sirius or Padfoot. And you can call him either Remus or Moony. We're family anyways."

Ivy smiled as she was about to say something, but suddenly, a huge wave of spiritual pressure was felt as it sent everyone, except for Ivy, Nnoitora, and Tesra, to their knees and panting due to it pushing the air out of their lungs, but soon it was over with. Ivy recognized the spiritual pressure that belongs to Shinigamis, but just not any old Shinigamis, it belonged to Captain ranked Shinigamis. And judging the smile on Nnoitora's face, there is going to be trouble soon and lots of it.

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