I do not own My Hero Academia or Harry Potter

Chapter 37

Izuku couldn't stop bouncing as she ruffled through her closet, "What should I wear? Something modest? Or would Kuro like it if I showed more skin?" After school, she quickly apparated home and was now trying to find the perfect dress. She had a few hours left before going to the gala. After laying out her favorite dresses on the bed, she started smacking herself in the head. "Why is it so hard to choose!?"

It took some time, but eventually, she was able to arrange a dress of her liking. It was dark green with golden stitches. Setting the dress to the side, she grimaced. Now, what accessories should she wear? From the corner of her eye, she saw the wooden box holding the diadem. Walking over, she removed the lid and grabbed the small diadem. 'Hmm… I guess I could wear this, nobody at the gala is going to know what it is.' Biting her lip, she placed it atop her head. Taking a deep breath, she felt the power of the diadem course through her mind. 'I love this diadem… it makes everything seem so easy.' It made her jumbled life seem comprehensible. Despite the wisdom bestowed by the diadem, she refuses to wear it daily. Izuku was a firm believer that too much wisdom leads to arrogance and inferiority. The most she had used it for is trying to remove the obscurus, but that took a long time. If she could somehow stop it from leeching off her magic, she might be able to remove it, but how?

"For something beautiful, I wish I could wear it all the time." Deep down, she was afraid to turn out like Rowena Ravenclaw. According to Helena, a wise woman, she was, but as a mother, that was non-existent. This only furthered her belief that always being wise isn't right, especially to the ones you love. Taking the diadem off, Izuku placed it down, "At least I can put the diadem to proper use for my research." Looking at the clock next to her bed, she blinked, "I'd better get ready."

(Time Skip, Daiwa Shinjuku)

Izuku gasped as she stood across the street from the grand hotel. The front of the building was packed with hundreds of people, limos were pulling up with pro-heroes walking out, and fireworks were going off above the hotel. 'Talk about a celebration.' This was, apparently, the most exclusive party of the year. Looking herself over, she brushed her dress, "Now, where do I check-in?" With how many people crowded the front, she couldn't see any way of entering. 'Is there a line somewhere?'

Walking across the street, she finally found the VIP line, 'Please Merlin, let my name be there.' She didn't want a repeat of what happened at Might Tower and be escorted out. Getting to the check-in counter, the young lobby boy looking at the guest list glanced up and gasped.

"Y~your Miss Midoriya, correct?" The manager has posted her picture right next to the ledger.

"Yes, I am. How did you know?"

"I… the Sports Festival, of course!" His cheeks caught fire, "A~also, we have you white-listed for this evening." All for One would kill him (literally) if he kicked her out. "Here is your VIP pass, please enjoy your evening here at hotel Daiwa Shinjuku."

Izuku smiled as she took the pass, "Thank you." She looked back at the long line behind her, "Good luck with all these people." She gave him a pitiful look, checking for all these names seemed like a daunting task. Before she went in, she made sure to take a glance at his nametag. 'He was nice.'

Heading into the cramped lobby, Izuku noticed the vast improvements the hotel had made for the celebration. 'Wow… And I thought the outside was beautiful.' She looked at the clock hanging above the check-in counter, 'Kuro said he'd be a little late, I hope I'm able to find him.' Glancing around, Izuku felt out of place as she traveled towards the ballroom. 'It feels so weird seeing so many pro-heroes.' But it wasn't just the pro-heroes. She recognized very influential men from Japan's technological institutions. She even saw the Minister of Agriculture talking to a few business associates. 'I hate feeling out of place.' She didn't know anybody here. If this were a party at the Ministry of Magic, she'd at least know someone.

Looking around, Izuku noticed a few heroes, including Mount Lady, Ryukyu, Best Jeanist… even Gang Orca. However, it looked like people were trying to steer clear of the hero. Most were frightened of his appearance. A part of Izuku wanted to go up and talk to the pro, but she stopped herself. 'He's probably hounded with fans all the time… same with the rest of them.' Even though this was a party, it was easy to see the clique of pro-heroes only talking amongst themselves. 'Oh my gosh! Is that Fatgum!?' The large man was busy talking to Best Jeanist, 'Now I really feel out of place.' Looking towards the edge of the room, she recognized a few girls from her first time visiting. They had greeted her right as she was leaving the hotel.

Weaving her way through the crowd, Izuku cleared her throat, "Hi."

The three women turned and gasped when they noticed Izuku. If she was here, then where was All for One? The shortest woman smiled, "Hello, how may we be of service?" She gave a small bow.

Izuku shook her head, "Oh~nono… I was just coming over to say hi." Her cheeks slowly turned pink, "I don't know anyone here, so I thought I could come and talk to the three of you. I know we don't know each other, but you were extremely kind the last time I was here."

"You… want to talk to us?" The woman looked at each other.

"U~unless you're busy. I came with Sensei, but he won't be here till later… and I don't have anyone to talk to." Most of the people here were either sponsors, pro-heroes, or business associates of the hotel.

"If that is what you wish, we would love to speak with you, Miss Midoriya." They felt quite honored that Izuku of all people wanted to talk to them.

'Does everyone here know my name?' She doubted it had to do with her being in the Sports Festival. For the next few minutes, the three women talked with Izuku, while simultaneously refilling glasses for the other guests. 'I hope I don't get them in trouble.' Technically they were supposed to be working. During the conversation, the maids were trying to ask what her connection was with All for One, secretly. There was a rumor going around the hotel that they were lovers, and they wanted to find out.

"Sensei? We're close. Why?" Izuku tilted her head like a small child.

"Just curious. As far as any of us knew… we didn't know Sensei liked people."

Before Izuku could reply, she heard a commotion coming from the crowd of pro-heroes. A few of them looked irritated. Mainly Best Jeanist, Gang Ora, and Fat Gum. They were all glaring at… 'Ugh… who invited her?' It was Yamiyo. Toshinori's ex-girlfriend. 'How did she grow her hair back so fast?' Her blond hair was now back down to her shoulders. "Excuse me. I should let you get back to work. Thank you for talking with me, sorry if I bored you at all."

"Oh, no! It was quite pleasant, Miss Midoriya." They each gave a bow before going off to attend the other guests. Heading over to an empty table, Izuku sat down and watched Yamiyo with a hawk's eye. 'If she lays a finger on Toshinori again, I will chop her head in two.' It made her blood boil as she watched the woman flirt with a few dimwitted heroes who fell for her charm. Rolling her eyes, Izuku sighed, 'Ugh~who cares. I'm here to have a good time. Not to worry about some girl who dated Toshinori, he's not even here.' Just before getting up, she noticed someone was standing behind the chair next to here.

"Excuse me? Nobody is sitting here, correct?" Gang Orca asked as he cutely pointed toward the chair with his clawed finger.

Izuku was startled, "No, feel free." She waved to the empty seat. The massive man pulled the chair back before sitting down. The chair squeaked because of how heavy he was. This was his fourth attempt at finding a table; the other three were already taken… but Kugo was well aware of why nobody wanted to sit next to him.

"Thank you." He inclined his head. "Forgive me for probing, but shouldn't a young lady like you be out socializing?" He was genuinely surprised a beautiful woman was sitting by her lonesome. 'I feel like I've seen her from somewhere.'

Izuku shook her head, "No, I'm sort of used to being alone. Besides, I don't know anyone here besides a few of the staff members. How come you aren't socializing? Coming in as the number 10 hero, I'd think fans would overrun you." Like the rest of the heroes. Best Jeanist already had 12 women flocking over him.

Even though his mouth was partly covered, she could see the embarrassed look on his face, "Most people find my appearance difficult to look at." He was shocked she hadn't gotten up yet. He'd never sat next to a beautiful woman for more than a few seconds before they ran off. He'd be lucky if they didn't sneer at his complexion.

Izuku looked confused by his statement, "I… I don't understand. What's wrong with your complexion?"

Kugo blinked blindly from her reply, "I tend to intimidate others because of my form." He lifted his hand ever so slightly to show his sharp fingers.

To his astonishment, she shrugged, "Meh… I don't think you look intimidating. If you want intimidating, look over there." Kugo laughed when he realized she was pointing at Yamiyo.

Finally, catching his breath, He looked back at the strange woman, "I assume you are familiar with Yamiyo?"

"You could say that. Let's just say she should keep her hands off other people's boyfriends." The pro-hero nodded at her words. He didn't like Yamiyo either. She was always insulting his complexion and calling him a villain because of it. He didn't choose to look like an Orca!

"Hey! Kugo! What happened to ya man?" Taishiro asked as he strolled over. He was more commonly known as the BMI Hero: Fat Gum. It was then Taishiro saw the attractive woman sitting at the table. His face turned red when he realized he was staring at her. But could anyone blame him? She looked stunning with that dress on, and her hair looked amazing despite it being green. 'Is that her natural color?'

Kugo motioned his head to the seat across from Izuku, "I wanted to get away from that crowd." Mainly, Yamiyo. She made his blood boil like no other.

Taishiro shook before shrinking down into his skinny form, "That feels better. Aren't you gonna introduce me to the lady sitting to your right?" Before Kugo could speak, he was already reaching across the table to shake her hand, "Hi, I'm Fat Gum. But you can just call me Taishiro."

She reached out, and cautiously shook his hand, "Izuku."

"Izuku? Well nice to meet you!" He gave a massive smile, 'She seemed oddly familiar. Like that girl from the Sports Festival, but… no. This girl couldn't be the same one from the Festival. She looked well… She didn't look like a first-year student at UA. Also, he hadn't really gotten a great look at her during the festival. A camera can really alter a person's complexion. "What are you doing sitting over here by yourself? Should you be out there having fun?"

Izuku blushed, "Well, just like I was telling Mister Orca here~"

"Please call me, Kugo." The hero interrupted her.

"Sorry. I was just telling Kugo. I'm used to being alone; also, I don't really know anyone here."

Fat Gum seemed to bounce, "Well then, let's become acquainted!" Kugo sat there and watched as Taishiro started talking to Izuku. "So, you came all alone?"

"Well, no. I actually have a date, but he'll be here a little later."

Kugo and Taishiro, unknowingly, sighed in dismay. Of course, she had a date, how could she not? With a stunning complexion, luxurious hair, and an innocent personality, it wouldn't make sense if she wasn't taken. As Izuku talked with the two heroes, they both found themselves blushing when she kept asking detailed questions about their quirks and different fights they had been in. Even Kugo found his chest swelling with pride as she recalled a few of his battles. Before Izuku could continue, she suddenly stopped and blushed, "Uh~sorry if I'm annoying either of you." She scratched the back of her head, "I've always been a big fan of pro-heroes. When I get really excited, I go on long rants."

Kugo found himself becoming a flustered mess, his insides felt tingly and numb. He'd never met a fan-girl like this. He made the right call in deciding to sit at this table. "So tell us Izuku. What is your quirk?" He was genuinely curious.

Izuku froze when Kugo asked his question, 'Crap… if I tell them, they'll probably realize I'm the same Izuku from the Sports Festival.' As far as they knew, the Izuku from the Festival was only 15. But there was another thing, 'It will be so awkward if they realize I'm going to UA.' It was painfully obvious they were hitting on her… especially Sakamata. The giant orca kept throwing little compliments about her hair and was fumbling with his words. "I'm quirkless, actually."

"Oh! Uh~forgive me. I didn't mean to~"

"It's fine, you didn't know."

"What do you do for a living then?"

"Research into different subjects."

Sakamata blinked, "What do you research exactly."

"Hmm… It's kinda hard to explain; also, I'm not at liberty to say."

"So, it's classified?"

"More than you think." And that is the most they were going to get out of her on that subject. As they continued to talk, Izuku tried not to giggle at Gang Orca. 'He looks so embarrassed.' He just finished telling a story about how he got stuck in a tar pit when he first became a hero.

"I spent the next week having to scrape tar off of me." The worst part was cleaning his back and tip of his fin. Since he was so massive, his arms couldn't reach certain parts of his body.

(Might Tower)

All Might sighed as he listened to one of his employees talk about the agency's financial crisis. "And as you can see from January to May, stocks have fallen 5%, which is estimated to increase." Toshinori found himself being lulled to sleep. He'd rather be out with Midoriya; with her, he didn't have to worry about things. And somehow she always made him feel better, no matter how terrible the situation.

Looking at his laptop, Toshinori grimaced at the loss of investors and stock, 'At this rate, the agency won't even have enough money to keep the lights on.' There is one thing UA never taught him, and that was how to manage an agency of his own, he had to learn through experience. When the meeting finally concluded, he slouched in his chair. Could this night get any worse?

A young woman tapped him on the shoulder, "Sir? I'm sorry to bother, but I felt this would best be kept quiet before it goes public." She handed him a thick envelope, there was a red stamp on the front of it.

'No… please anything but this!' It was every agency's worst nightmare.

"Our financial decline has raised some red flags with a few of our investors, and we are to undergo an audit next week."

Toshinori broke the seal and slid out the thick stack of papers. If this audit doesn't go perfectly, his agency will be ruined. And the worst part was… 'I gave Tomoko the green light to skew our finances.' If the auditor finds out, the legal outcome would be a nightmare. And since he signed off on the plans, he could face a class-action lawsuit. Even he wasn't above the law. 'God, what would Midoriya think?' He was doing everything in his power to keep his agency afloat, and now he could risk up to five years in federal prison. That or he'd likely sell the agency and file chapter 13 bankruptcy. 'What am I going to do?'

He should have blown the meeting off… at least then, he would have had one more night with Midoriya before dealing with this nightmare of a problem.

(Back at the Gala)

Izuku was trying to hold her laughter as Fat Gum told an embarrassing story of him rolling down a steep hill. "This guy got the best of me, and the next thing I know, I'm bouncing down a hill like a bouncy ball."

Izuku was able to catch her breath, "Nope… I don't have anything that can beat that story."

Kugo and Fat Gum stopped laughing when they noticed a certain woman walking over, 'Who invited her here?'

Yamiyo stood at the edge of the table, "Hello gentlemen. Long time, no see?"

A low growl erupted from Gang Orca's throat, "Yamiyo."

The blond looked at him and sneered a bit, "You should really clean yourself, Orca. No woman likes all that slime on you."

"It's not slime, you blond-demon. My quirk requires me to keep myself wet, or else I'll dry up."

Fat Guy glanced at her, "Hey c'mon now. Can't we have a good night?"

"Pfff~I'm having a great night, candy-breath." She thought Fat Gum's quirk was disgusting. Having to eat nothing but sweets sounded disgusting in her mind. Yamiyo had yet to notice Izuku. Though the greenet was glaring at her.

Izuku cleared her throat, "If you don't mind, we were in the middle of a conversation."

Yamiyo glared down at Izuku, "Don't I know you?"

"No."

"Are you a pro-hero?"

Izuku raised a brow, "Not exactly."

"Then mind your business." Kugo and Fat Gum glared at her. "I just came over to tell you, gentlemen, I'm having a party at my estate next week."

The heroes looked at each other with uncertainty, "We care, why?" Kugo asked as he scratched his hand. His skin was already becoming dry.

"You're really close to Tsunagu, and I want him there. If you get him to come, you're welcome to stay. Toodles." She gave a fake smile and walked back over towards the center of the room.

"I hate her." Kugo and Fat looked at Izuku. "She does know High school is over, right?"

Kugo scoffed, "I'm guessing you don't know Yamiyo very well." Everything about the hero was drama. "Sorry for her behavior."

"It's not your fault… and for the record, I think you actually take amazing care of your skin. If it were me, I'd probably be dried up." She could only imagine how difficult it was trying to keep himself from drying up. 'If I remember from the article back at Aldera, he goes through 30 gallons of water a day.' Even with his white suit on, she could see the large bottle of water sticking out of his pocket. 'Poor guy probably has to drench himself every hour.' There was actually a popular brand of moisture cream for kappas here in Japan. Though for a man of his size, he'd require a lot of it to lather him up. Unwillingly, she imagined how much muscle he was hiding beneath his suit. 'Huh? Bad thoughts, Izuku!' She wasn't sure why, but lately, she's been having perverted thoughts. Usually, it was about either Kuro or Toshinori, but occasionally she found herself rubbernecking a few guys. She didn't know what to make of it. 'I think I've overexposed myself to amortentia.' The fumes were known to cause people to have lustful fantasies against their will, especially in the long term.

While nobody could tell, Kugo was a blushing mess, "Thank you. I take quite a lot of pride in making sure my skin is kept moist and clean."

Izuku glanced around, "Excuse me, I'll be right back. I need to use the restroom, I have to powder my nose." She had about a half-hour before Kuro arrived. By the time she got out of the restroom, she unwittingly bumped into a solid figure. "Sorry, I wasn't looking~."

The man turned, and his eyes widened, "Midoriya?" A blush crept its way onto his cheeks.

Izuku found her own eyes widening, "Vlad?" She had accidentally bumped into Vlad King, class 1-B's homeroom teacher.

Clearing his throat, Vlad pulled on the collar of his dress shirt. He was trying not to stare at Izuku and the elegant dress she had on, "What are you doing here?"

"I was invited to." She smirked, "What? Just because I'm a student doesn't mean I'm well… you know a student."

"R~right. Sorry 'bout that." His gruff voice sounded different. "It's sometimes hard to remember how old you actually are." And seeing her outside of school, all dressed up… she looked like a completely different person.

"I make a few minor adjustments to my appearance while I'm at school, but I can only make myself look so young."

Vlad found his throat lock up. 'Of all the people I had to run into here.' He never told anyone at UA about this, but he'd found himself checking out Izuku more than he liked to admit. But he couldn't help it. She was a beautiful young woman in her prime and is a fascinating individual. "Where are you off to?"

"I was about to head back to my table, but I figure I could spend a few minutes talking to you." He was one of the few people who knew she was a witch, and they didn't really talk. He seemed like a nice guy.

Vlad smirked at her statement, "Well, I wasn't expecting that, but I ain't about to complain. I've actually been meaning to ask you something." His cheeks once again had a slight brush of pink.

"Yes?"

"How are ya able to make your bag expand into an entire room? There some type of ritual you do?"

"Ritual?" She giggled at his minimal understanding of magic, "No, nothing like that. It's a spell called Capacious extremis." They were out of ear range from the rest of the party-goers. "Just a wave of my wand… which is easier said than done."

"Uh… I don't understand."

"I know that it may seem like magic is super simple, but there is a lot of concentration when casting spells. Also, the movement of your hand and wand is essential. Most of the time, when you mess up a spell, it just shoots sparks out of our wands… nothing too bad. But if you mess up real bad, you could cause an explosion or something far worse."

Surprisingly, Vlad let out a chuckle, "I don't think I give you enough credit." Magic sounded like a difficult thing to master. Even his quirk didn't require the same level of concentration she had… not that he could ever compare. Izuku was a genius, even he knew that. "So, I hear you're gonna go work for All Might next week." When he found out, there was a twinkle of jealousy.

"I am. But let's talk about something else." They should try to talk about something other than school or work. "How about a quick round of 20 questions."

Vlad blinked, "20 questions?"

"Sure… I don't know you all that well, and let's face it. This conversation is a bit awkward because of it." They were both trying to be overly formal to one another, and she hated it.

Dwelling on the idea, he reluctantly nodded his head. Maybe this was a good idea. "Alright, go ahead."

"Alright, question one… What is your favorite breed of dog? Or cat."

Vlad chuckled, "Bulldog. I have a little guy at home named Vladamir."

"Really?" Her eyes widened. She tried to imagine this giant brute of a man cuddling up with a bulldog. "Question two, what is your favorite food?" For the next five minutes, they continued down the list until it was finally Izuku's turn. But before Vlad could ask his question, they noticed a towering form walking towards them.

"Ah, Izuku… there you are." It was Gang Orca. "Taishiro, and I wondered what was taking so long."

Izuku blushed, "Oh, I'm sorry. I just got caught up in a game of 20 questions with Vlad here. Would you care to join?"

"20 questions? Is that not a child's game?"

"It is. But I thought it was the best way to get to know more about someone." Heading back to their table, Vlad took a seat and started asking his questions. Though he had to come up with an entirely new list since Kugo and Taishiro didn't know she was a witch. Nevertheless, he was happy to learn more about her, like how she also loved bulldogs. She thought they were adorable, and while some tend to drool, that didn't bother her. During the game, Kugo and Taishiro decided to ask her a few questions.

"Favorite book?" Fat Gum asked as he took a swig of the glass next to him.

"The Theory of Everything by: Stephen Hawking." It was her favorite muggle book. "But for fiction, Lord of the Rings."

"Yes!" Taishiro shouted out, he was a massive fan of Lord of the Rings. He'd read the books nearly 50 times while he went to Shiketsu.

"Alright, enough about me." She looked to Kugo, he was clearly having a hard time asking her questions. Why was he so embarrassed? "So Kugo, how is it working at Shiketsu?" He worked there part-time.

"It is a fine institution, I am proud of all my students, and they all have so much potential." He cast a glance at Vlad. The UA teacher just scoffed at the mention of Shiketsu. "Have something to say, Vlad?"

He shook his head, "Nothing."

Looking at her phone, Izuku noticed the missed message Kuro had sent her five minutes ago, 'Did something happen?' Quickly skimming the message, she gave a little chuckle… he was running late because he was setting up a surprise for her.

Just as she put her phone away, everyone turned their attention to the man walking on stage. "Good evening, everyone. As the manager of Daiwa Shinjuku, I am proud to welcome each and every one of you to our celebration. Food will be served momentarily, and should anyone need assistance, please ask one of our staff members." He gave a short bow before walking off stage.

'That was a quick speech. Then again, if I were running a hotel, I wouldn't want to stand around, giving long speeches.' As promised, men and women dressed up as servants entered through a pair of double doors, likely leading to the kitchen. Walking around the room, they began offering small platters of food. By the time the food reached their table, Izuku had found her mouth-watering. 'For such a big event, they made the right call in offering small portions.' The food was prepared beforehand, and serving so many people, as if it were a restaurant, would be a nightmare. Hence, all the butlers walking around with platters of small food.

(20 Minutes later)

"Man, this food is filling! I still can't believe I scored a ticket to tonight's event." Fat Gum smiled as he waved his hand towards one of the servers, who promptly gave him another serving of kusaya.

Finishing her plate, Izuku looked at Fat Gum, "What do you mean scored tickets?" Surely a hero like Fat Gum could afford a reservation for tonight even… right?

The BMI hero blushed as he scratched the back of his head, "Ya, I'm not rich enough to just come to an event like this. I won a pair of tickets from the hotel last week after I stopped a fight in an alleyway next to the hotel. Their way of saying thanks for keeping the incident under control. I gave my other ticket to Orca here." He pointed his thumb to Gang Orca, he had his maw open as he took another bite of the kusaya. The man blushed as he closed his mouth… he always felt nervous when people saw him eat.

"Really?" Izuku glanced between Fat Gum and Gang Orca, 'I guess it is pretty hard to get invited to tonight's event… wait." Looking to her right, she smirked, "So Vlad, how did you get invited to tonight's celebration?"

"Uh…" Izuku noticed his cheeks turn red as he looked away from her.

'I've never seen Vlad so nervous before. I hope I'm not making any of them uncomfortable.'

"An old friend of mine used to work here, and he was able to pull a few strings for me." He scratched the tip of his tooth, something he did only when he was extremely nervous. "And you?"

"Something similar… a few friends in high places here." Thankfully they didn't ask her anything else.

"Very high indeed." A new voice startled them as they all turned. There was a man with white hair walking towards them. Vlad raised a brow… that voice and suit looked familiar.

Gang Orca turned to look at the man, "I'm sorry, who are you?" And why was he staring at Izuku?

"You may address me as Sensei, my name is unimportant. But I'm delighted to see you all are enjoying my hotel. Shall we Izuku?" He offered his arm to the green-beauty. The three heroes promptly turned to Izuku.

"He is your date?"

Vlad couldn't help but frown, 'She should stay here.' Talking with Izuku was probably the highlight of his night.

Fat Gum looked at Sensei, "Your hotel?"

He nodded, "Yes, my hotel. Izuku?" He repeated her name.

Getting up, she brushed her dress, "Well, it was really nice talking to you all. Hopefully, I'll see you later tonight." Pushing her chair in, she walked over and took Kuro's arm. He quickly pulled her away from the heroes. Once the two were gone, Fat Gum started laughing at Kugo.

"Pff~you should see your face Orca. Jealous much?" There was also a look of jealousy on Vlad's face, but he didn't mention it. To be honest… Fat Gum was a little intimidated by Vlad. He was always gruff and had his arms crossed.

"I am not jealous. What do I have to be jealous of?" He pulled out the giant bottle from his pocket and stood up. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to moisten my skin." He quickly turned and walked away—likely heading to the restroom.

As for Vlad, he quietly tapped his fingers against the table, 'So she likes guys with white hair?' He slowly reached up and ran his fingers through his grey hair. 'I wonder if she likes grey.'

(Back with Izuku)

All for One smiled as he held onto Izuku. Tightening his grip on her hand, he looked down at her, "You look ravishing with that dress on Midoriya." When he first saw it, he almost tripped over himself.

"T~thanks. You look dashing yourself… I noticed you kept your hair white." It was actually the first thing that caught her eye.

"Ah~yes." He ran a hand through his short hair, "I felt you deserved at least one night where I'm not having to change or conceal my appearance." Despite all the glances, he did like the natural color of his hair.

'He did that for me?' She could feel Kuro's eyes raking over her form. "So, you have a surprise for me?"

"Indeed… but you will have to wait for your treat, little one."

"Alright, I'll play your game, but can I ask another question?"

"Which is?"

"Where are we going?" He was pulling her through the crowd of people, leading her outside the ballroom.

"I figured you won't mind if I snatch you from all the festivities… I'd much rather just spend my time with you in a less populated area. Perhaps the gardens?"

"Gardens?" Since when did the hotel have a garden. 'This place is so big, he probably didn't have time to show me everything.' Leading her through the massive hallways, they passed through a pair of glass doors. Looking over the balcony, she blinked, 'This is a massive garden.' It was situated right in the center of the hotel. 'No roof or skylight… I should really look into what they have here.'

"I'm quite surprised you were unaware of the garden. I would have assumed you of all people would have known about it." Perhaps even look at a map and see how large it was from an ariel view.

"W~well I… uh… I'll be honest, I don't really look at a lot of muggle hotels or restaurants. Just going out now is becoming harder."

He put his arm over her shoulder, "How so?"

"A lot more people are starting to recognize I'm from the sports festival. And since they know, I'm from UA, finding a place to eat now is becoming hard. The last muggle restaurant I went to wouldn't serve me any wine… and I quote, 'You aren't old enough.'"

All for One gave a soothing chuckle at her story, "Then it is for the best." Leaning down, he cupped her face, "I do not fancy the idea of you drinking wine unsupervised." He has seen what it does to her.

Izuku felt her heart pulsate as he pulled her into a passionate kiss. 'It's only been a few hours but… oh, Merlin, I love this.' As they kissed, she felt his rough hand running along her sides, tracing the outline of her waist. "Kuro?"

Pulling away, she saw the heated look in his eyes, "Forgive me. I can only last so long before needing you." Izuku was a drug he could never get over. Nobody had ever captured his love and interest like her. And like a savage beast, he would never let her go. 'Only a matter of time before one day, I wake up with you in my arms every day.' Those thoughts always got him riled up. 'Perhaps after we return from our sojourn to Hogwarts, I should finally ask her to move in… I grow tired of waiting.' He would gladly ask her at this moment, but he knew she'd likely say no. She still needed a bit more time to adjust to being with both him and All Might. 'Though if she is unattracted of the notion of living here, I suppose finding a place to call 'home' would also be beneficial.' If it weren't for All Might and Gran Torino, he would have snatched her away. Leading her along the edge of the balcony, they passed through a few more doors before coming to a table. Food was already set out, and it was overlooking the garden.

"Is… is this my surprise?" Izuku used part of her hair to cover the blush creeping on her face.

"Partly. The big surprise is yet to come. Now, would you care to join me?" Pulling the seat back, he allowed her to sit down before pushing her in.

"Thank you." He walked around and took his seat, "I never took you for the romantic type."

Kuro gave a deep chuckle, "Only with you, my dear." He transformed his finger into a long black claw before using it like a corkscrew on the wine bottle. "Wine?"

Snapping her finger, she smirked as the glass levitated towards him, "Yes, please."

"Bold of you to assume it is safe to use magic here." He poured the wine into her glass.

"Haha," She laughed at his statement, "I know you. I'm pretty sure if you couldn't get rid of everyone in a five-mile radius of us, you would."

Taking a sip of his glass, he sighed from how smooth the wine was, "Quite right. With your permission… I could make that a reality." The fewer people around them, the better. He'd rather be trapped in a log cabin with Izuku for a week. At least then, he would be happy. "I hope you are still hungry. I was going to try and get you before they served the food in the ballroom."

"It's alright. Besides, my magic requires me to eat often."

"And yet you can keep such a wonderful figure." Kuro felt his body quiver in joy as he looked her over. 'I truly look forward to your surprise Izuku.' Digging into the delightful meal, they talked about things happening in their own worlds. Though Kuro liked to ask more questions about Izuku's personal interests. A tad bit controlling, he made it a goal to know everything about her. What she loved, hated, feared. Embarrassing stories, she swore never to tell again.

Finishing her glass of wine, Izuku shivered, 'I'd better stop. I really want to remember tonight.' Her body was throbbing with need. "Kuro… can I ask you something?"

"Of course." He smiled at her curiosity.

"How do you feel about me?"

"I'm afraid you will have to be a little more specific." Though he was interested in where this would go.

"When you see me… how do you feel? Good and bad."

"Hmmm… a rather vague but interesting question." He growled softly, "When I see you, I want nothing more than to defile your angelic little body with my quirk. To watch, you scream your little heart out as you blackout in a fit of ecstasy." He leaned forward and smirked at her shaking body… but it wasn't out of fear. "As for any negative thoughts, I have none. Rather… I fear I might do something I'd regret."

"L~like what?"

"Locking you away from the world and taking away your own personal freedom to satisfy mine. Oh, but the things I'd do to you… words can't describe what pleasures I'd make you feel."

"W~who says you can't do that normally?"

"Haha!" He laughed at her innocence, "It should come to no surprise to you, I have an almost diabolical obsession for things I like. And seeing you… it makes me afraid that my obsession for you would cause a schism in our relationship."

Izuku's heart was beating at an ungodly rate. What he said made her feel… happy. A tingly feeling was building in her stomach. "And what level of obsession are we talking about?"

She caught the ominous glow of his red eyes, "Words can't begin to explain, my dear. I recognize this is unhealthy… but this is how I feel."

"Let's say, for instance, I wanted you to embrace this obsession of yours. What then?" She knew she was swimming in dangerous waters.

Licking his lower lip, he smirked at her, "Why, little one. It sounds almost as if you want me to embrace my unhealthy emotions."

"I wouldn't call it unhealthy. You have self-control so you would know when to stop. Also, I can't see you doing anything that would make me sad or uncomfortable."

"Hmm…" He scratched his chin, "I suppose you make a valid point. But I am a very jealous man, just sharing you will All Might is already a challenge I cannot even explain."

"Well, let's hope that's it for soulmates." She gave a little laugh but realized she was the only one doing it.

"Let's hope?" He didn't like the sound of that.

"Uh~it's nothing." She took a swig of her wine, 'I need to keep my mouth shut.'

"Either you tell me what you know… or perhaps I force it out. But I think you might be withering in broken pleasure as I ask my questions." He chuckled when she choked on the wine. Her face was almost on fire.

"Okay… Okay… so, soulmates are, as we know, an uncommon phenomenon linking people together."

"Correct, continue."

She gave a sigh, "There… is… a… a minor possibility more could be added." She watched his eyes widen, jealousy was clearly evident.

"Please tell me you are joking, my dear. Sharing you with one person is already hellish." A three-way relationship was already strange enough. He couldn't imagine anyone else coming into the picture.

"The prophecy I showed you only talked about you and Toshinori. I highly doubt another person could come along, but fate is a cruel mistress."

"Fate?"

"Okay… divination is fickle and prone to change. At any point, fate can have a new course in someone's life. It isn't something to question. The field and study of divination is outside my expertise, but I've learned you don't want to meddle with your future."

"You speak of fate as a person."

"In a manner of speaking… yes. Maybe not sentience like we know, but of a different nature. The point is if fate decided to force another soulmate, we would have to deal with it. Despite how difficult it would be."

"One would think fate would know that sharing a person isn't easy." He wanted this conversation to end. No more soulmates!

"Soulmates are different. We share a connection because fate decided before we were born. But that doesn't mean it can't change." Working with the unspeakables really broadens a person's perception of reality and what governs it. Forces beyond their control were at play, like a microorganism under a microscope.

"And how would we know if you had another soulmate?"

"Uh… right… we wouldn't. I guess they would start acting just like you and Toshinori, but also… this." Lifting her hand, she pulled a pin out of thin air and poked her finger. Kuro gasped as he felt a sharp pain in his fingertip, "Since our bond has grown strong these past few days, we've reached a new stage in our connection. Any physical pain I experience, you will as well." She looked away upon saying this.

(Elsewhere)

Toshinori gasped as he dropped the stack of papers in his hand, "Ah!" He grabbed his fingertip. 'Fuck, that hurts!' It felt like someone stabbed his finger with a needle. His skin was tougher than the average person's, so piercing it with a needle would be hard.

(Present)

Kuro looked over his finger, 'No blood. At least we know it isn't fatal.' He looked up, "And if I become injured?"

"No, just me." She was now terrified, 'If I transform, they will likely feel the pain from my obscurus.' It was already causing her internal pain, but her bond with Kuro and Toshi hadn't evolved to that yet. Right now, they could only feel her outer physical pain.

"Well enough talk about soulmates, shall you accompany me back to the ballroom? The festivity is far from over. I assume you know how to waltz?"

"Waltz? Do muggles do that anymore?" In the wizarding world, learning to waltz was essential for any party.

"I am an old soul, and the Grand Waltz has been a recurring dance for this hotel since its inception."

"Yes!" Kuro jumped from her shout, "Sorry, I just love to waltz. At Hogwarts, I'd wanted to dance at the Yule Ball, but nobody wanted to be my partner." And she took many lessons with Flitwick and one of his upper-class students."

"Then, I am delighted to accompany you." He felt pride surge in his chest. "Following the Grand Waltz is the Edelweiss waltz." His brother loved the song Edelweiss… so he found a way to incorporate it into the hotel.

"Edelweiss? Isn't that from the Sound of Music?"

"Yes. Quite a jolly tune, wouldn't you agree?" He used to think his brother was ignorant for liking such a song. Only did he realize long after his death how pleasant a tune it was. Music today hurt his ears: too much screaming and cursing.

Upon arriving in the ballroom, they noticed people were busy getting partners for the waltz. "Most waltz I've been to only allow the professional to dance."

Kuro looked down, "What fun is that? One cannot learn to waltz simply by watching." The waltz was considered one of the most fun events of the night… while some people knew how to dance, it was also fun watching your partner slip up. But it was all for entertainment. Grabbing her waist, he extended his hand, "Shall we?" Getting into position, they waited for the orchestra to start. They slowly took their first few steps before spinning. Izuku giggled as she watched a few people attempt to waltz. Across the ballroom, she noticed Fat Gum struggling to keep in step with the music. But at least he was having fun.

Izuku gasped when Kuro grabbed her waist before lifting her up then setting her down, "This is probably the most informal waltz I have ever been too… but honestly, the best."

"People shouldn't judge others in their attempts to waltz. It does take practice." Looping around him, she grabbed his hands and moved in a circle with the group in front of them. The next part of the waltz required them to change partners briefly. By the time she got back to Kuro, she had noticed his grip was more robust. "Sorry… That woman did not dance as graceful as you."

"Hey, what happened to it being fun?"

"It is… with someone, you care about. I'd rather you step on me than a stranger." Slowly, the music died down, and they let go of each other. But their moment of happiness was short-lived when the manager approached them. He looked terrified.

"E~excuse me s~sir?" He didn't want to interrupt All for One's date with Miss Midoriya, "W~we seem to have a problem. A~a fight has broken out, and this woman refuses to leave without compensation."

"Grrr~" All for One growled softly, can't he have one night alone? "Excuse me, my dear. I will be back." He looked to the manager, "This had better be important." How severe was the fight?

Izuku giggled as Kuro walked off, 'I guess I'll find a new partner then.' Scanning the room, she noticed almost everyone had a partner. 'Let's see… huh…'

Vlad sighed as he took another shot, 'At least they're serving alcohol.' Setting the glass down he groaned, he had a slight headache. After Izuku left, Yamiyo had decided to make her appearance and she wouldn't leave him alone. She kept trying to get into his pants, 'Damn woman can't take no for an answer.'

"Hi, Mister King," Izuku said as she appeared behind him.

Vlad choked on his drink, "Huh? Where did you come from?"

"Over there… but now I'm here." She cutely pointed to where she once stood.

"What happened to your date?" He didn't expect to see her again.

"There was a fight apparently, and he needed to go and take care of it. Must have been pretty big if he was called." The manager wouldn't just come to All for One if it were trivial. "Care to waltz?"

"Huh?" His jaw slackened… what did she just ask?

"Do you want to do the next waltz with me?" Maybe if she were lucky she could find Gang Orca, he might be willing to join her.

"Uh… I don't know how to waltz kid." To his surprise, she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor. 'C~crap.' He was going to look like a bumbling buffoon.

"That's fine. I'll teach you." His hand was almost as big as All Might's. 'This should be fun.' Spinning around, she stopped abruptly, and Vlad accidentally bumped into her. Her face landed straight into his chest.

Izuku gasped, 'O~oops.' Vlad definitely had muscles and with how thin his shirt was. It made feeling them all the easier. Pulling her face away, she blushed, 'This is so embarrassing.' As for Vlad, he was struggling with his own blush.

'C~crap.' He didn't mean to bump into her, but it did feel nice… wait… what?

"Okay." She cleared her throat, "Take my hand and grab my waist." He was slow but followed her commands. Softly, she muttered the movements to him as they joined the crowd, "Step-hip-step-hip, and pivot." She giggled as Vlad acted like a robot, clearly trying not to mess up. "It's okay if you mess up. Trust me, I've had people step on my feet before… one of them was a giant."

"A giant? How do you waltz with a giant."

She gave him a look, "You don't want to know." As they continued, Vlad stumbled with his footing. And for a brief period, he kept stepping on Izuku's feet, but she wasn't angry. In fact, she was easing his anxiety. "You're doing great Vlad-sama." Vlad blushed at the nickname.

"Sorry 'bout yer foot." His underbite made his words come out a little distorted.

"It's alright. I think you're doing great for your first time." The only part of the waltz that Vlad liked the most was when he was able to pick her up by the waist. She was light, and all he needed to do was spin her around. As the waltz settled to a slower pace, Izuku glanced up and studied Sekijiro's face. He was too busy watching his feet to notice. 'Vlad-sama sure is big. Not Toshi-kun big… but still.' She studied the scar on his face, 'I wonder how he got that, was it from a villain or self-injury?'

Vlad felt his anxiety drop as he got the hang of the movements. Dancing with Izuku was exceedingly pleasant. He wasn't typically into these types of things. When the waltz ultimately ended, they went back to the table he was drinking at. "Wanna drink?" He lifted up a shot glass.

Izuku shook her head, her hair swaying as she did, "Thanks, but I shouldn't. I'm already a bit tipsy from the wine I had and… too much alcohol isn't good for me."

Vlad gave a grunt, "Ya, I got it. I'm guessing you have a low tolerance?" He drank from the glass he offered her. The drink pleasantly burned his throat.

"N~no… It… I'm a little embarrassed to say, but… you mind keeping a secret? Please don't tell Nemuri, I think she might get me drunk on purpose."

'Nemuri?' Were those two close? He never did take into account what the others' relationship with Midoriya was. "Yes? What secret?"

"Witches don't get drunk per-say. Alcohol is more of an aphrodisiac for us."

Vlad coughed as he choked on his drink, 'Huh?!' He tried not to imagine Izuku becoming heated because of a bit of alcohol, but his mind had other ideas. His jaw locked up as perverted thoughts invaded his mind. 'D~damn it.' Slipping his hand into his pocket, he cupped his crotch keeping his hard-on hidden. If Aizawa ever found out he'd had perverted thoughts about Izuku, he'd be hung in front of UA's entrance. His sharp mind had been loosened from his constant drinking, and frankly, keeping these thoughts at bay was giving him a headache… maybe indulging in his sick fantasies couldn't hurt. "When is your friend coming back?"

"I'm not sure." She looked over her shoulder in a vain attempt to find Kuro. "But I'm certain he'll be back soon enough. So Vlad-sama, how did you like dancing?"

He gave a deep hum, his voice was very gruff, "Not my type of thing… but it wasn't too bad." He looked away from her gaze. He thought back to the brief moment when she slammed into his chest, and he wasn't going to deny how great it felt.

(All for One)

Kuro growled as he looked between the drunken men fighting. 'What a bothersome dilemma.' While he didn't get directly involved, he ordered a few of the guards to restrain them. "What seems to be the problem?" He looked at his hired manager.

"The young woman over there is being completely uncooperative with us and is threatening us with a lawsuit for illegal quirk usage. But a few of our maids claim she had been leading the men on."

Looking passed the two angry men, he clenched his fist, 'It's her.' The woman from the sports festival that tried hitting on him. 'The Spring Hero if I'm correct.' He kept tabs on people who irritated him. Taking a whiff of the air, he let loose an irritated growl. As the Spring Hero, she could affect plants and produce pollen of her own making. But All for One's mind was a steel cage, and this feeble pollen didn't affect him; instead, it fueled his anger. He walked over towards the woman who was currently being questioned by three security guards.

"They just started fighting, and the next thing I know, I'm caught in between. How can a hotel say their guests are safe if they allow people to use their quirks!?"

There was a deep growl coming behind the guards, who immediately jumped. It was All for One… in person! Word around the hotel was he'd been making more appearances, but they didn't believe it. "Gentlemen, would you be kind enough to force this woman off the premises. Her pollen is filling the lobby."

Yamiyo marched past the guards, and poked All for One's chest… the guards were frozen. "Listen, buddy, I don't know who you are, but… wait… do you have a brother?" This man looked familiar. Like the guy from the Sports Festival, but that man was a brunette.

"No, I do not. And you would do well in leaving our hotel before we have you arrested for using your quirk illegally."

She gave a huff, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Your vile pollen caused those men to fight." To prove his point, he waved his hand across his face. Upon revealing, his hand was now covered in yellow dust.

"H~How did you?!" How did he collect her pollen?

"Either you leave my hotel, or I'll be forced to make an accident in my lobby."

"Are you threatening me? I'm the Spring Hero." Though she wouldn't deny this man was intimidating with his glare. "Maybe you should just relax." Forcing more pollen out of her body, the guards had love-struck faces as they inhaled it.

Surprisingly, the man before her didn't move. "Your pathetic pollen won't work on me, I am not some mindless buffoon." His blood was boiling, how dare she try to make him fall in love!

"U~uh…" This wasn't how she saw it playing out, "Fine, I'm going. But you are going to regret threatening me." Turning away, she trotted off where she was immediately captured by the paparazzi.

Pulling out a handkerchief, he wiped the pollen off of his hand. 'Foolish woman. I question All Might's sanity for eloping with such a vain person.' It was well known among heroes that Yamiyo dated All Might… it's all she spoke about. Looking at his hand, he sighed, 'I'd best wash myself before meeting Midoriya.' He may be immune to Yamiyo's pollen, but he didn't want Izuku to be exposed. And it makes him want to gag, the pollen has a rotten smell to it, but most people don't think that while under its influence.

(Present)

Vlad tapped his hand against the table as he glanced at Izuku, "So what is this I heard about you and the other boy in Aizawa's class? Bakugo, right?"

"Yes… why do you ask?"

"Probably isn't my business, but what happened between you two?" Something about bullying. Though he's never seen Nezu or Hound Dog so angry, they threaten to expel a student.

"We just have a long history together. Before going to Hogwarts, when we were still the same age, he used to torment me because I was quirkless." Usually, she wouldn't be keen on talking about her past, but it seems the wine from earlier was giving her a loose tongue.

A frown settled on Vlad's face, "He picked on you because you were quirkless? What did he say?"

"Pfff~hard to say, I've honestly lost track. Bakugo has a very flavorful vocabulary when he insults me. Bitch, slut, quirkless-loser, wanna-be hero, vomit-hair~" She listed far more than Vlad would've liked to hear.

"How come you never told anyone. Or one of us?"

"I did, back at Aldera, but they never did anything. Apparently, Nezu went to my old school and found a large file with all my complaints. As for not telling you guys… well… to be straight, I just didn't care anymore. I have more important things to do than tell on a 15-year-old boy." She ran a hand through her hair, "Did it hurt? Yes. Am I over it? Yes. And honestly, I have nothing to say to Bakugo."

Sekijiro frowned as he listened to her talk. While he felt guilty for not noticing something like that happening, he couldn't help but admire her. Being tormented for years and learning to move on wasn't something most people could do. He still has his own grudges from high school that he couldn't get over. "You still should have told us."

"Perhaps… but as I said. I have more important things to do than complain about Bakugo. I've dealt with worse fish than him." Granted, Bakugo's tormenting was unique because it started when she was a child. "Just last week, I got into a full-blown argument with my co-worker. We had a plethora of insults to throw at each other."

Several red lights went off in Vlad's head, "Co-workers?" Also, he found it hard… no… impossible for her to insult someone. She was always so level headed and kind.

"What? Did you think I only went to school? I may act the part of a first-year, but I do have responsibilities." Turning to fully look at him, Izuku gave a beaming smile. "Ugh…" Her smile vanished as she shook her head, "I can't wait till the girls in my class have something better to talk about… being around teenagers is so mind-numbing."

Vlad chuckled at her expression, he understood just how annoying teenagers were. "Weren't you a teenager just a few years ago?"

"Yes, but I didn't waste my time talking about 'Todoroki's hair' or 'Who I'd spend seven minutes in heaven with.' That's all they talk about. And don't even get me started on some of the pointless drama. When I was their age, I was struggling to pay rent. " Back before she had a lot of wealth. "Now, that is stress."

"Why would you need to pay rent?" Wasn't she living with her parents or some form of a guardian?

"After my Mom left to go watch over my father in England, she allowed me to stay in our old apartment. The first two years were covered, but then I started paying my own bills. Not that I needed to, my mother still sent money. But I used that to further my research into potions… uh… please don't ever tell my mother if you ever meet her. If she found out, she'd kill me." That money was specifically for her rent.

Sekijiro gave a deep chuckle from the back of his throat, "With how many books you had in your bag, I believe it. You know… you still haven't told us why you want to be a hero."

"It's not that hard to figure out," She smirked at the confused look on his face, "I've wanted to be a hero since I was a little girl. Like most of you, I want to help people. And the only way to do that is to go through a long and tedious process."

"I guess the tedious process is dealing with those kids around you." He couldn't imagine being in her position. A fully functioning adult having to act like a teenager. While he loved his students, he couldn't stand hearing their drama or just as Izuku said… 'Todoroki's hair' the girls in his class talked about that boy non-stop.

"At least I can talk to you guys. I assume we're past the point where you still see me as a child." She could tell a few of them were still skeptical about her age, perhaps even finding it strange.

Vlad hummed in approval as he looked her over. Izuku definitely wasn't a child, and after their long talk, it indeed dawned on him. The blush that had been making its appearance throughout the night crept back onto his face, but this time it turned his entire face red. Why was he hunching over?

"Vlad-sama are you alright? Your face is super red." She leaned close to look over his face, "I think someone had a bit too much to drink." Closing her hand, she opened it again to reveal a white tablet with a strange symbol. "Here, I was saving this if I drank too much, but I think you'd better have it."

Grabbing the tablet with a shaking hand, he looked it over, "T~this is?" Crap… he was stuttering. He never stuttered.

"It will stop you from getting too drunk and from having a hangover in the morning. It's very popular in the wizarding community." Though somewhat expensive.

A voice sounded from behind them, "I am back, shall we continue from where we left Midoriya?" Kuro was standing there with mono-vision as he looked at Izuku. He wanted no more interruptions for the night.

"It looks like I have to go. It was nice talking to you Vlad-sama. We should do it more often." Hopping off her chair, she took Kuro's arm and left with him.

Vlad said nothing as he took the tablet she gave him. 'Ya… we should.' He rubbed a kink in his neck as he stared at the table. He really hoped that guy wouldn't come back… talking with Izuku was far more enjoyable than it should be.

(Elevator)

Izuku giggled as Kuro pulled her into his chest while kissing her neck, "K~kuro sto~stop. That tickles."

"Does it?" He kissed the spot again. To his delight, she attempted to hold back another giggle. "Now what have I said about holding back? It seems I must break that vile habit of yours." He hugged her close to his chest and leaned next to her ear, "I hope you are prepared for your surprise, little one."

"And what is this surprise?" The doors to the elevator slid open.

"You will see. Now then~" Not asking for Izuku's permission, he lifted her into his arms. "Please close your eyes."

"S~sensei?" It had been a while since she used that name. He missed hearing it.

"You have nothing to fear, little one. Just do as I say."

Doing as told, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck for balance. As he walked down the hall towards his apartment, she decided to play the same cruel joke he had been doing. Leaning into his neck, she planted a few soft kisses. She could feel his heart rate increase by the vein in his neck.

Not bothering to get his key out, he kicked the door open. The sound made Izuku jump, "Ahah~no peeking." He tightened his hold on her. Maneuvering his arm, he grasped her breast and gave a light squeeze, "Not unless you don't want your surprise."

Izuku suppressed a moan as she panted her face into the crook of his neck, "Pl~lease Kuro."

"I suppose you've been good." Walking to his bedroom, he quickly opened the door before slamming it shut. Placing Izuku down, he suddenly grabbed her face before slamming his lips against hers. What would typically be a passionate kiss was replaced with a barbaric lust. Izuku could only gasp in pleasure as his tongue slipped past her lips.

Moaning, she attempted to fight for dominance, but her defeat was swift. When Kuro finally pulled away, he pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes were glowing. "Kuro?" She could barely say his name. The heat between her legs was growing by the second.

"How I've wanted this." He kissed her cheek, "The things I am going to do to you." His deep voice turned husking.

Looking towards the bed, Izuku blushed at the surprise. There were a few candles lit as well as a trail of roses leading to the bed. 'S~since when is he this romantic?'

"Does this satisfy you, my dear?" He brought his hands to her shoulders and slowly slid the straps of her dress down.

"M~maybe this will answer your question." Spinning around, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down into another inviting kiss. Letting go of his collar, she unbuttoned his overcoat before untucking his dress shirt.

'What is she~' All for One growled in delight when her hands lid underneath his shirt. 'So she wishes to feel my muscles… in that case.' Pulling away from her, he slid his coat off and began unbuttoning his shirt. "Is this what you wanted to see?" Taking his shirt off, he smiled at the embarrassed expression on her face. 'Still so innocent.'

Izuku nodded, "Yes." Grabbing his hand, she pulled him towards the bed. Reaching up, she grabbed his neck before pulling him down. He was now laying on top of her, his arms at her sides, keeping himself suspended. "Is this a surprise for me… or a gift for you?"

"Both." Not wasting any more time, he transformed his hands into black claws before violently tearing her dress off. All the while, making sure not to hurt her. With her dress off, he chuckled, "No undergarments? Were you expecting this?"

"M~maybe." she hid her face in the sheets. Kuro leaned down and ran his thumb over her nipple. The resulting moan caused his cock to harden even more.

'Blasted pants.' Taking his belt off, he quickly removed his pants and boxers before returning to his panting mate. "Is this want you wanted, little one?" He pressed his chest against hers, "To feel my flesh touching yours? To be close to a monster like me?" He'd only been touching her for a few seconds, but his body already felt as if it were on fire.

Cupping his face, she ran a few kisses across his cheek, "Your not a monster… at least not in my eyes."

Forcing her into the bed, he ran his hand across her body, memorizing every inch. "Such a delicate thing you are." Sliding his hand further, he used two fingers to rub her aching cunt. "I barely touch you, and already you wish to submit to me."

Izuku gasped as she felt two of his fingers slid into, "A~ah! Kuro!"

"Ahhh~music to my ears. Just submit to me, little Izuku." He started scissoring her tight folds, 'Yes… moan your innocent heart out.' His sadistic side felt like breaking out. 'I'll chain you to this bed and fuck you for days on end.' Adding another finger, he shivered at the sound of her begging.

"Please, Kuro. I~I need more." Grabbing his wrist, she forced him deeper into her welcoming fold. "A~~aah!" However, her moment was short-lived when he pulled his hand back. "Why did you stop? Please don't."

"This is my surprise to you, little Midoriya." Sitting up, he forced her legs further apart before pressing the tip of his cock against her vagina. "This is what you really want, isn't it?" He pushed harder but never wholly entered her. "Tell me what you want."

"You!" She gasped out.

"I need more than that little one." He pressed a little harder.

"You! I need you, Kuro-sama! Please make me yours!"

All for One jolted inside of him, 'I need more. I need her complete submission. Her devotion to me.' Grabbing her waist, he flipped them around. Izuku was sitting on his stomach, and he was on his back. His knee was pressed into her back, acting as support. "If you truly want me… then show me. Show me how much you want to be with me, little one." Because once she was done… he would show her how much he needed her.

Leaning down, Izuku softly kissed his chest. She gave extra attention to the light scars across his chest, "I love you, Sensei." Sitting up, she lifted herself and aligned her cunt with his aching cock. 'He's so big. How did he even fit before?' She still couldn't believe she could fit both him and Toshinori inside of her at the same time. Sliding down, she gasped upon getting halfway in. "S~so… big."

All for One was clutching the sheets, trying not to grab her waist and slam her down. He wanted to see how she acted when given complete control of his body. "Izuku… do not tempt me."

Pressing his cock deeper, Izuku balled her fists and pressed them against his stomach, "Your so big Kuro." Her entire body was on burning. Sliding up, she quickly dropped back down, the tip of his cock immediately hit her g-spot. 'I~I need to last. I want to show him how much I love him.' Mustering her strength, she placed her hands against his stomach before ridding him. Starting off slow, she tried to get used to the intrusion, but that quickly evolved into something more.

Kuro gasped as he tried to hold back a moan, 'She still as tight as before. Like a fresh virgin all over again.' His will broke ever so slightly, and he grabbed her hips. 'Yes… YES!' This is what he wanted. To see that broken look of ecstasy on her face as she fuck him. 'I'm not done with you, Izuku.' Tightening his grip, he met her thrusts at an ungodly speed.

"K~KURO!" Her eyes were clouded with lust as she rode the villain. She soon found both her hands bound in his as he sat up and pushed her back. The aroma from the candles made her mind spin.

Panting, All for One gave her a sinister look, "Now… it's my turn." Without delay, he slammed himself inside, hitting her cervix every time. Izuku was unable to speak as he fucked her with an unexplainable speed. "You're mine, Izuku. You could run halfway across the world, and I would hunt you down. Your mine forever!" There was a brief look of insanity on his face, but it disappeared when he clenched his teeth. "Cum for me. Let me fill you to the brim with my seed." Feeling her walls clench, he let out a pant as she came.

"Yes! Kuro! I'll do anything you say, please!" With one final thrust, Izuku gasped when she felt her insides turn warm. 'His seed is so hot.' When he pulled out, she crossed her legs. 'I'm gonna get pregnant at this rate. I… it feels too good.' But deep within the back of her mind, the thought of bearing his and Toshinori's children made her numb with pleasure.

Laying next to her, All for One pulled her close to his chest, "I hope you enjoy this little breather… because I intend to have you for the rest of the night."

Izuku shivered as he ran his hands across her chest and stomach, "K~kuro I~i hate to complain, but you need to~"

"Wear a condom?" A sneer appeared, "I have no intention of wearing such thing when I make you mine. Besides… I know deep down that the idea excites you." He kissed her neck and cupped her breast, he caught a nipple between two of his finger, "You can deny it all you want, but I know what you desire. The thought of having my children excites you, as it should. You think I care what will happen at UA? What others might think?" His voice turned course, "I have every intention of making a child with you. But if you don't want to, then tell me. Tell me you do not wish to become pregnant, and I will follow your command."

Izuku opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She tried to say that what they were doing would be irresponsible, but… she couldn't.

Cupping her face, he softly pressed his lips to hers, "You have nothing to worry about, my dearest Izuku. Once you become pregnant, I will be with you every step of the way."

'O~once? Why didn't he use a word like 'if' or~' Her thoughts fled as he kissed her neck. No matter what she tried, she couldn't stop the burning sensation in her heart. 'He wants to have kids with me? Does… does Toshi feel that strongly about me as well?' Closing her eyes, she embraces the pleasure Kuro bestowed upon her as he worshiped her body. All the while, thoughts of having a heavy stomach with her soulmates made her heartburn. She shouldn't like the idea, but she did. Cranking her eye, she saw Kuro kissing her stomach.

"Hmmm… times up, my love." The sparks shooting out of his back blew out the candles. 'You'll give me a proper heir,' But deep down it wasn't about finding a successor. Just having a child with her already made his knees weak. This is the only weakness he'd ever allow himself to fall in.

(Elsewhere)

Toshinori laid in bed with a frown. The covers were off, and his clothes were long gone. His entire body was aching. The only thing on his mind was young Midoriya and what he could be doing with her right now… and every night. Her tiny little body clinging to his massive form. He adored how small she was in comparison to him. It ignited a primal fire inside of him. "Midoriya. Sweet innocent Midoriya." He couldn't wait until she was working beside him. As her teacher and role model, he knew he should teach her to support herself. To build her own agency one day and move up like him, but… he couldn't. He wanted her by his side for the rest of his days. His little doe, fighting by his side.

Toshinori clenched the sheets as his cock sprung to life. Never in his life had he been so selfish as he was now. 'I need you, Midoriya.' His bangs were sprawled out above him. He wanted the little green-haired bundle of joy with him. Telling him how amazing he was, asking questions about his quirk… being a complete fan-girl before him. That is what he loved the most. The fan-girl personality she tried to hide from him, but he knew it was still there.

How he lived day-to-day without being with Izuku seemed impossible now. Even if given a chance to see his master again, he would probably refuse… he wouldn't want to change anything in his past. It was a miracle he met her on that train, and he wouldn't want anything to change that day.

Closing his eyes, he finally drifted to sleep, but even in his dreams, he couldn't escape the thoughts of his green-haired witch… he truly is obsessed with her, isn't he?

(Author Note)

Well, what did you all think of that chapter? Not what you were expecting. No doubt, some of you are extremely confused, angry, or even excited about what happened with Vlad. And I'll be honest… I am considering adding another soulmate to the story. Is it Vlad? Maybe, or could it be Gang Ora (I'm not bothered that he is part Orca XD). What do you all think? Personally, I don't think people like Vlad and Orca get enough love. Now, this isn't a guaranteed thing, but I do feel many of you would like the prospect of the addition of another soulmate. And while some authors wouldn't dream of doing that… not me. I wouldn't have a problem, including another person, because I've found that things never go the way you want them too in life. Romance included.

Now before anyone chews my throat out. Yes, I am aware of the prophecy that Izuku had obtained, and there would be a workaround. Anyways, I hope this chapter was enjoyable as the rest. And with what I've been thinking about for the story, both short and long term, you can probably see why this chapter took so long :D. Till next time!

(Review Response)

hellfire45: I was thinking about having her change her hero name, but ultimately decided against it. Honestly, I can't wait to hear All Might's reaction when he finds out Izuku choose that for her Hero name... Isn't that what Young Bakugo used to insult her!?

Icewolf9879: I'll try to include more Hound Dog, but I can't guarantee it. But I also would like to see that man getting all protective of our little cinnamon roll.

gemava: Walla! Surprised by this chapter? I hope so. As you can see, I've definitely been contemplating adding another soulmate. As I've told you and a few others, this isn't guaranteed, but I feel confident that it could work. Also, we'll see two extremely jealous men XD Imagine how Gran Torino would react if he found out Izuku were dating AfO and All Might... what?! She already tied the knot!? What the hell do you mean she has another soulmate! Nononono!

Ren Woods: I'm happy to hear you're excited for the trip to Hogwarts, I am too. But it looks like that will take a while because we still have the whole Stain-arc and training camp... pfff... but the wait will be worth it ;D I can imagine you were surprised by this chapter and hearing about Vlad and Gang Orca. I'm a cruel author-san... please forgive me.

Rene' Retanan: Another month come and gone... Sorry for the long wait again. This chapter, I had a lot of different ideas, even scrapping my original draft because I didn't like the direction it went in, but now I am happy! And what will Bakugo's reaction be to Hogwarts XD Even I can't wait to hear his response. "DEKU WHEN HERE!?"

Alyssa Namikaze Uchiha: How can AfO see Death? Hmmm... well, even death has his own mistakes and slips up when people see him. Speaking of him... I wonder where he is at. Then again, being Death, he can't go stalking one person all the time. But he'll return... eventually. （￣︶￣）↗
