-Mcgonagall's p.o.v-
I looked up watching the wolf write his lines for the fourth night running, he sat with his chin resting on his left hand as he held the quill loosely in his right, his eyes at half mast. the bags under his eyes faded a little but he still looks like he could use a few more days sleep, he needs to eat more as he's lost a bit of weight and starting to look a little too thin for his 6 and a half foot frame.
I shook my head looking back to him seeing his eyes on me "how much taller are you going to get" i asked before blinking I didn't mean to say that, a low chuckle had me lock eyes with the wolf "I reached 8 foot in my last life" he replied. I sat back in my chair as he placed his quill down leaning back watching me "how old was you when you died" i asked, that got me a half smile "350" he replied before telling me about the time lock as they called it, how a mist covered the world when he was 50 and the near 230 years it took to revers it, all those years not a single birth or death, even after they ageing slowed.
I called a elf to bring some tea before waving Luffy to join me, I poured us some tea as he sat across from me "you still hold pain in your eyes do you know that" I told him getting a raised brow. I smiled "it lessen when the first 8 reborns joined the school, but you still held a pain like someone was missing, I thought it would vanish with your brothers the Gol twins joined you" I told him. he frowned before sigh leaning back after placing his cup down "my heart healed a little more finding my brothers' and an old friend this year but you are right someone is missing my soul uncompleted" he said.
I thought back to all I know of this reborn, all the little rumors going around about this group, my eyes wide before I felt this males pain from what that rumors spoke of "there is a rumors floating around about a mate you once had" I said. I caught the pain that flash over his face before he closed his eyes taking a breath "yes" he hissed, he opened his eyes locking them with mine giving a hollow chuckle "and i see her everyday" he told me.
I gave a start before my eyes widened "here at the school but you don't sit with anyone but your pack, your not in a relationship the grapevine will get that information out within hours" I said, he grinned shaking his head "she doesn't remember and it is dangerous to force or get someone to remember before they are ready too" he told me. he then told me of a reborn that was forced to remember before he was ready, how even twenty years later he is still seeing a mind healer, or mind walker as Luffy calls them.
I refilled our cups before looking to the clock "will you tell me who" I asked, that got me a raised brow and a flash of fangs, his eyes flashed blood red also. I slowly picked up my wand "I swear on my life and magic I will no revile what one Lucifer tells me on this night so mot be" I intoned. I grinned as the old soul blinked at me before chuckling "knew the was a reason I liked you aunt tabby" he said, I was my turn to blink hearing the name the boy gave me as a babe "Yuki redwing" he told me.
I just stared at him trying to picture them together "how" I asked, he shook his head giving a fond chuckle "she was a healer, Chopper and Law was away from Raftel. no one liked seeing to me if I need a healer, she was only a rookie then so they pushed her to see to my wounds. it was after the third war I had been captured and kept within a lab and experimented on for close to a year before I was found. I was the only one of my crew at base so no one could get near me as I was feral, Yuki poor little one had to teat me, she threatened to tie me to the bed and keep me under if I didn't stop fighting her and trying to escape the healing wing" he told me. I had to chuckle at that " I could not stop blinking at her, me a 8 foot wall of muscle, Yuki was barely 5'' slim build, no body had spoken to me like that in years so I did nothing letting this rookie healer see to me" he said.
i shook my head "how old were the pair of you" I asked, he gave a rouge grin "first time we met I was 31, Yuki was only 18" he replied, 13 years between them, I raised a brow wanting to know more of the story. Luffy gave a fake put out sigh with was ruined by his grin "I was let out of the wing a month later, I asked Yuki for a date, first person in years to turn me down, I believe her words were 'I don't date big headed ego playboys with a drinking problem', I could do nothing as she walked away, I just shrugged it off and went back to everyday life. over time I slowly cut back on my lovers and drinking till a year after being told no, I figured out why I was doing it, I wanted Yuki for myself my more animalistic self wanted her my very soul called for this light. I started asking for dates again, again she said no it wasn't till three years after I first asked that I got my date, a spy had found his way onto the island with a bomb strapped to his body. his target the hospital wing, I saw him for what he was, I was doing rounds inside the castle as something felt off, I ordered every one out. I saw Yuki wouldn't clear the blast in time so used my speed to get between them ripping off my coat as it was make of fireproof seaking skin. I took the brunt of the blast wrapping my body around Yuki, I think I hit two pillars and a wall before the pain knocked me out, I woke three days later in one of the grand hall. I was there for a few days, Yuki moved in front of me as I left, she poked my in the chest and told me I have one chance I mess up the date I'd never get a second one before walking off" he told me.
his eyes soften getting a far off look "we dated for three year, I asked her to marry me on the eve of the fourth war, I was 37, she 24, the war lasted two years. we married on her 27th, her birthday being after mine I was already 40, I was 43 when she told me she was pregnant, 44 when the four of them were taken from me" he said. I reached across taking his hand, his eyes came back into focus "triplets" I asked, he nodded eyes lowed looking for a moment like he was broken before drawing on his inner strength raising his eyes "two daughters and a son, they where but hours old" he replied.
I looked over this young man sat in front of me taking in how he held himself and what I've seen of him over the years, how he reacts with the other reborns how they all react to him. I felt my eyes widen just a little, he raised a brow at me "why are you letting every one believe JJ is the king" I asked, he smirked "I have not, several reborns have called me king of hell" he replied. I narrowed my eyes at him "the king, THE king of pirates not king of hell" I said, he pushed himself to his feet seeing the time "but my dear aunt tabby are they not one and the same, I've left enough clue for people to put together, still wanting for Severus to work it out as he once know me the second time he was thrown back to that time, so no letting him know" he said before turning leaving the room.
