Chapter Twenty-four:

"Kaileara," I look up from my book and found Professor Mcgonagall standing in front of me, "A moment if you don't mind,"

I close the rather interesting book on advanced transfiguration and nodded, "Of course. What can I do for you Professor Minnie?"

No twitch meaning a bit of my fun gone, but that's okay. I'm beginning to respect her even more. She took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to steel herself. I waited patiently even as Kiyo seemed to perk up from her place next to me. Yukina was much the same and both watched the professor with wary eyes even if most wouldn't be able to tell. She finally seemed to gain the courage us lions were famous for and spoke, "I would like to speak with you about the arrival of the other schools."

"And what about it?" I ask with a slight smirk, "Are you afraid that my Nakama and I may cause some trouble for Hogwarts?"

"No," She replied much to my surprise, "I wished for you all to help us create a way to show that Hogwarts is a good school. They will be entering in a rather interesting fashion and I would like for our school to do the same,"

"I assume you've gotten permission," She nodded and I gestured for her to take a seat which she did, "I understand that you wish for Hogwarts to be shown in a good light, but why come to me?" I kept my face in my regular expression even as the wheels turned in my mind, "You know I have no love for England and only my destiny here keeps me from leaving. You know as well as I that if it comes to it, I will abandon Hogwarts to the beasts," She nodded solemnly, "So why come to me? I'm a loose cannon so to speak. I can't bring myself to care for anyone in this place unless they're Nakama...Well...The founding four might be added to that," I shook my head, "Tell me why you want a girl who could kill everyone here to help you,"

She seemed to be thinking over her reasons as she took a deep breath. I had already made up my mind about this, but I would like to hear her reason. It would probably amuse me to no end and I could probably gain something from it. Ah the naive little idiots that have fallen to me when I set about to negotiate things. It's one of the reasons Luffy always sent me to islands first because I was always able to find good places to stay for almost nothing. Nami also loved to take me shopping while Sanji and Chopper borrowed me when they failed. Even Usopp, Franky, Brook, Robin, and Zoro made use of my talents. I didn't even have to use my devil fruit or magic to get what I wanted. It was too easy sometimes, but I digress it seems that the Professor is ready to speak. I tuned in just as she began to speak, "Kaileara we want you to help us. I know of what you said, but I can't allow the school to lose to them. I have too much at stake. Hogwarts has fallen in standards and it's about time to show everyone that we're returning to our former glory. We will do anything for you to help us."

"Will you give me free reign?" I ask causing her to look at me warily, "It will be school appropriate as I do not want the 1st and 2nd years to be corrupted just yet,"

"So long as it's appropriate," She agreed and I almost grinned.

"I want to be payed for the time I spend doing this," She opened her mouth, most likely to protest, but closed it when I held up a hand, "I don't want money, but I do want are books, potion ingredients, a chance to tell you all some ideas I had," I tried to think of something else I wanted to add before nodding to myself, "I want the complete school charter and a contract,"

"What kind of contract?" She asked before seeming to realize what I asked before that, "And why do you want the complete school charter?"

"I have my reasons as to why I want the charter," I say as Mipsy popped in with a steaming glass, "Thanks Mipsy,"

The house elf smiled brightly, "No problem Mistress."

I watched as she disappeared before taking a sip of my tea. I hummed softly before I continued, "As for the contract, it's a rather simple one that I want you to deliver to the Founders."

"Ms Ashferd," She looked like she wanted to swallow a lemon, "Will it cause any problems for the school?"

"No," I answer with a slight grin, "It will probably improve this place rather drastically,"

She seemed to be waging war in her head before she took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright. Where is the contract?"

I reached into my pocket-space and pulled out a chest. I opened it as I said, "I have things for almost every situation. This," I gesture between us, "Is one that I have been expecting since the Tournament was announced," I grabbed the scroll wrapped with a red streaked green ribbon and handed it to her, "Take this and give it the Founders. Call a meeting if you would like, but I suggest you don't allow Dumbledore to be there," She looked at me with a raised eyebrow as I closed the chest and returned it to it's place in my pocket-space, "He has no love for me and I have none for him. He will most likely try to dissuade anything I suggest, so not having him there will allow for all of you to see things with a neutral perspective."

"It seems that you've gotten smarter since we last exchanged words Ms. Ashferd," I bow my head in acknowledgement, "I'll get right to it,"

I nodded and watched as she walked away. I could tell the cat-like woman was pleased, but the bitter taste of worry clashed with the honeyed spice that was pleasure. Yukina spoke as she walked out of earshot, "She's trying to see past what she knew and see the real you."

"Aye," I murmur as I reached down and absentmindedly ran my fingers over the cool head of a fox shaped water spirit, "She is better than most, but I can tell that she struggles desperately. She, like most zoan or animal based people, sense the darkness that lies beneath the surface. She can sense the frosted power that I keep just below the surface of my skin. She can sense so many things, so many chaotic things that most cannot. She can sense the power beneath my skin," The spirit nodded to me and left as Kiyo moved over to me, "It makes her wary. It makes her crave to run away from me. It makes her want to do so many things, yet she holds on desperately because she still sees me as her student, as Lily and Jame's daughter," I close my eyes and took a deep breath, "How long will it last? Until she cannot contain herself? Until she sees what most see when they look at pirates? How long," I felt my grip on my powers loosen and my power curled around me while coating the world in ice, "Will it be until she becomes like the rest?"

"We will not know until it happens," Kiyo murmured soothingly, "But when it does, we will be there for you. If the world fears you, you will always know you have us by your side. Law and everyone else will be there as well, so rest easy. Our Nakama will not abandon us as others would," I pulled my powers back and the room returned to normal, "Now we need to talk,"

"About what?" I look at my familiar with curious eyes.

"Just how many situations are you prepared for?" Kiyo asked causing me to snort and smirk, "And just what did you put into that contract?"

"Oh Kiyo you have no idea," A cheshire grin stretch across my face as I told her of my plan after creating a privacy ward.

Elsewhere in the castle

"Ah Minerva," Salazar greeted the Professor kindly, "What did Kaileara say?"

"I cannot say unless Albus is not here," The Professor answered causing the former Headmaster to protest.

"Minerva I am a member of the staff-" The old Goat tried to protest until Godric stood and stunned him.

The founder of Gryffindor gave the room a grin before calling for one of the house elves. The Elf took the unconscious man away before turning to the room, "Let's see what Kaileara said."

Many a teacher stared at the Founder before remembering that he was one of the oddest of the bunch. It actually reminded many of them of how Kaileara acted sometimes. Mcgonagall shook her head before giving them the information, "...and she also wants a contract."

"Do you have it?" Salazar asked and Mcgonagall handed it over.

"She pulled it out of a box filled to the brim with others just like it except only two others had the same ribbon color," Mcgonagall said with a slight smile, "She even said she has something for almost every situation,"

"Interesting," Was the general comment around the room.

"I think we can agree with the terms already stated," Helga said to which many agreed, "The contract however will make or break this agreement," She turned to Salazar, "If you would Sal,"

The founder took the ribbon off and unrolled the contract. He looked it over before nodding to himself, "It has the usual legal things you would normally find however the terms are rather...interesting."

"And what pray tell are those terms?" Rowena asked causing the founder of the snake house to grin.

"She wishes to set up a trade agreement as well as the chance to get some shots in against Dumbledore," Salazar answered causing most to look between each other.

"What kind of trade agreement?" Godric asked in curiosity.

"An agreement for the steady trade between both Hogwarts and...Some place called 'One Piece' island," Salazar looked over the terms with a raised eyebrow, "Odd name," He snorted before continuing, "The trade would be potion ingredients, hard to get items, books, and...an exchange program?"

"What?" Helga looked rather confused, "An Exchange program? How is that considered a trade?"

Salazar looked over the contract before reading aloud what it said, "It says that it's a trade of knowledge. Apparently we have diffrent magics than what some of the islands mages use, so she believes it would be a good way for both our students to grow stronger," He looked up at everyone, "It sounds like a good idea, but what makes her believe she can do this?"

"Does it say anything in the contract?" Rowena asked causing Salazar to shake his head, "Check the signature,"

He looked at the bottom of the contract and his eyes widened, "Four signatures."

"What are the signatures?" Godric asked as he made his way over to his husband.

"One Kaileara Lunar D. Ashferd," Salazar began, "One Anastasia Ashferd, One Valkyrie Ashferd Nee Houst, and One Luffy D. Monkey,"

"Do any of them have titles?" Helga asked causing Salazar to look at the room with a slightly disturbed look on his face.

"Each has more than one, but they're all blurry," Rowena took the contract as Salazar said that.

She took out her wand and chanted over it. Her face growing more and more frustrated with each failure of her spells. She finally growled, "I can't make the titles clear. Whatever is causing them to remain blurry is powerful. It's magic, but I don't know what kind of magic can hold against the power of a rider."

"Well it seems that regardless of that one of these people must have the authority to authorize this kind of agreement," Helga said before looking around the room, "I believe that it would benefit everyone,"

Sounds of agreement were given before the Founder signed the contract. It glowed brightly before disappearing in a ball of bluish silver light.

Kaileara P.O.V

"...And that's what I put into the contract-" I was cut off as said contract appeared on the table, "Looks like they signed it,"

I set about making eight copies before sending them out while keeping the original. I pulled a chest from my pocket-space as Kiyo asked, "Where did you send those things?"

"I sent the copies to where they needed to go," I answer while lifting my hand to cut my thumb on one of my 'fangs' which was then pressed against the locking seal on the chest, "I'm keeping the original. I sent one to Mother, one to Gringotts, one to each of the founders, one to Luffy, one to Master Valkyrie, and one to the contract room within Potter Castle,"

"When did you get your mother to sign that contract and how did you get it to go through the lines between the worlds?" Kiyo demanded causing me to give her a smirk.

"During our ten years of training," I answered the first question before my smirk grew into a cheshire grin, "Aren't spirits and their gifts amazing?"

"Dear fates," Kiyo groaned while face palming, "Who gave you that ability?"

"I inherited it from Luna," I answered with a slight grin, "It seems that Luna and Davey are somehow relatives of mine,"

Kiyo didn't even bother speaking as she walked to the nearest wall and began to bang her head against it. I ignored the grumbles coming from that direction as placed the contract within the holly box before shutting the lid on it. The lid glowed brightly before seemingly disappearing. I place the chest into it's place in my pocket-space as Yukina commented, "Damn. I didn't know she had a limit."

I snicker and shrug, "Everyone does. Come let's go and eat."

Yukina stood up as I put my books away and grabbed Kiyo by the scruff. Kiyo didn't even try to fight it as she grumbled under her breath. I ignore the grumbles, but I had to snicker at the comment about insane white haired people with jewel eyes. I'm not insane yet since I've met someone that actually ate a Devil fruit that made them the incarnation of insanity. Nice guy, once you got past the annoying want to kill you part, and he could drink! He also had so many awesome prank idea's too! Man what a guy though it sucks that he died. He died an amusingly, amazing, and absolutely stupid death. He ended up getting way too drunk, challenged some marines, won, but got killed via sea king when he accidentally cut off one of his ears. I shook my head to clear it of those thoughts. I'm not insane just yet, but it doesn't mean I'm sane either. I'm in the chaotic inbetween state that was absolutely lovely and allowed me to get away with so many things.

Alright another short chapter, but don't worry the new one is going to be longer!
