Winx Club Past AU

(A/N: I own nothing and I'm making this a story!)

"What are you girls doing?" Griselda asked seeing the Winx setting something up in an old abandoned classroom and each of them dressed in formal dress suits with loose ties around their necks in their respective 'flame colors' as well as an odd few personalized pieces that referred to their magic and personalities.

Stella had golden yellow dots on the back of her jacket in a constellation pattern around a bright tribal sun, Flora had a flower in her hair like always and thorny vine patterns around the legs of her suit and some rain drops on the back, Tecna had several parts of her outfit glowing slightly blue and purple while there was a hood attached to her jacket to hide her face and wisps of indigo mist on the back, Musa had a music symbol on the left breast of her shirt and an almost tribal storm design on the back, Layla's was cut a little less formal and more for movement than the others and there was a lightning bolt proudly displayed in dark red on her back surrounded by bubbles of a dark pink, Roxy had a small paw print on her pants pocket and she had a dark tribal styled purple cloud on the back of her jacket as she stood a little farther back from the others, and then there was Bloom.

Bloom's outfit had a bright orange tie, a gold and red dragon wrapped around one pants leg, what looked like dancing flame designs on the white shirt, and had all of the symbols of the others in the others colors with an orange border around them all on the back of the jacket.

"Starting a Family." Bloom said cheerfully and making the other teachers choke on nothing at her response. Griselda, who had decided to check out the show once she noticed the subtle way her students were beginning to change, didn't even bat an eye.

What did it even say about the girls that when one teacher caught sight of them doing something strange, all of the teachers came and checked it out just in case? Apparently it didn't say enough because she had been the only one to think to check out the show the girls liked and emulated so much.

"Kind?" Griselda asked not even bothered by the gun she spotted hidden under Roxy's jacket, the girl needed to get a gun that was less bulky or a jacket that covered it better. She'd bring it up with her later when there weren't any civilians around. She just knew that her 'sisters' were going to pull her into this mess which meant that she was not a civilian. They are a unit after all and that unit included her.

"Mix of Neo-Vongolia, Varia, and Vindice." Bloom said without hesitation making Griselda pause for a second and then look at the girls flatly as her brain translated that.

"Do you have Faragonda's permission?" Griselda asked earning a snort from the woman herself who had been the only one not present at the moment the questioning began and instead showed up right behind them sometime in the middle. Palladium nearly hit the ceiling with how high he jumped, and Wizgiz turned into a mouse with the way he squeaked. DuFour hadn't batted an eye but the other teachers yelped or startled and Griselda? She just knew her sister would do that and wasn't the least bit surprised.

"Who do you think told them where to find this room?" Faragonda asked with a grin as she looked at her deputy who sighed slightly. Her boss was just as bad as her younger 'sisters' and she couldn't even pretend to be surprised by it. Not after a hundred years of putting up with her sister while waiting on the rest of the unit to be born and then find them, and then remember or rather experience it for the first time.

"No damaging school property, no deaths on school property and students are only to be lightly maimed." Griselda told the girls sternly and earning pouts from Layla and Musa for the property damage part. If she wasn't the Boss then Griselda was sure Bloom would be pouting as well, those three were more destructive than the others.

"Traumatizing them?" Tecna asked looking towards Griselda with her hood already up, having pulled it up to cover her face when the questioning began and while the mist did enshroud her a little... the teachers already knew who she was so there was little reason for her to completely hide herself from them.

"Have fun and don't get caught." Griselda said turning to leave before they tried to drag her into this mess. She knew it was a wasted effort but she had to at least give a token effort to the cause.

She had enough paperwork to deal with as it is thank you very much. If she got a head start on it before they dragged her into this mess, all the better for the long run.

"You'll be back in about an hour after you get some of your paperwork done right?" Bloom asked causing Griselda to pause and glance back at Bloom with her eyebrow twitching.

"Damn Intuition." Griselda swore in Italian causing the others to snicker or outright laugh in Musa and Layla's cases. When the show first came out, Bloom began learning Italian just so she could say she knew it and could mimic the characters a bit. The other girls learned from her surprisingly fast and as soon as Griselda heard them speaking a foreign language, she learned it too so she knew when they were plotting something.

Faragonda learned it so she could help the girls plot without the other teachers knowing.

Griselda has cussed out her boss and sister more than once over the past year because of her helping the girls plotting. They did not need the help! They were bad enough without the aid of a woman over 100 years old and over 50 years of experience in scheming and plotting.

Griselda very pointedly turned a blind eye to when she would hear or find former Headmistress Mavilla helping Faragonda with some plots and schemes.

Mavilla was too respected and idolized by most of Magix, except for the younger or ignorant ones, for anyone to even try and think of her plotting something. And if someone did notice her plotting and called her out on it? Well…

Griselda had literally heard her former headmistress claim that she was 'to damn old to actually give a fuck anymore and what are you dumbasses going to do about it arrest me? I'd like to see you try it numbnuts!'

And yes those had been her exact words. On the plus side Griselda had recorded it and taken pictures so that she had blackmail on the entire Magix Council, especially since Faragonda had been sharing popcorn with Griffin and cheering her mother on. The reactions of the council to that news had both Faragonda and Mavilla cackling in a very witch like manner that gave Griselda blackmail on Griffin herself as well. Hm she'd have to find those pictures later.

"I've been spending too much time with you girls." Griselda said sighing heavily as she realized exactly how and what she was thinking at the moment.

Griselda did not twitch when Musa and Layla cackled and Flora giggled at the looks of horror and disbelief on the other teachers faces. Griselda did not twitch when Roxy snorted and Tecna took pictures of the teachers reactions, probably for blackmail. Griselda did not twitch at the victorious crowing of Faragonda for finally 'corrupting' the deputy headmistress.

She did twitch when Bloom just gave a normal but rather raspy laugh and threw her arm around Griselda's shoulders. The red heads voice had been slowly but surely turning more guttural, especially after she got the Butterflix.

"There's no such thing sis! You're a Storm after all and part of the Family!" Griselda did twitch at those words but subconsciously relaxed into the half hug. The other teachers were horrified and shocked silent while Faragonda laughed loudly at what happened next.

"Why don't we make her your Right Hand? She's used to schedules and paperwork after all." Layla had said that as she made the mistake of getting near the brown haired battle champion.

"I will kick your ass to the moons of Sparx if you give me more paperwork!" Griselda threatened as she spun around and punched Layla.

Faragonda laughed so hard she couldn't breath while Tecna recorded the entire brawl that broke out between the others in the next second and went on for ten minutes with no clear winner until Flora got involved since Bloom was too busy checking on Faragonda and being amused.

The looks on the other teachers faces when Flora proceeded to trounce everyone's asses, including Griselda's, in less than a minute was going to be immortalized.
