Cousins

Draco Malfoy began his quest to 'get along' with his cousin though his beliefs since he was three, was clashing with with Selene's upbringing.

Selene preferred a muggle lifestyle as opposed to a magical noble's upbringing. Yes she learns the rules and etiquette befitting a noble lady, but she likes the simple, but fun life more.

However, there are times she goes 'white-eyed' and protected by a magic barrier and for the life of him, he has no idea why that happens.

But for his shy, gentle cousin to smile as if she was a predator who caught prey in these rare moments, it was a damn creepy and frightening sight!

He wasn't even sure what the heck, is happening.

There are times that she looks like she wants to kill someone!

Italy...

Nighttime...

Selene was screwing with Bianchi. Again.

She 'summoned' lions that drool to chase Bianchi out of the mansion.

'Ahhh, her screams are music to my ears...hohohoho!'

'Reborn, she's learning to be a sadist from you!' Dino complained as Sirius looked horrified that his goddaughter had lions chase a girl away.

'She's just being a good guardian stupid-Dino.' Reborn chuckled while enjoying a martini. 'She's a rare breed for her age. Most Guardians her age are screw-ups and she's shockingly competent for her age. You should be lucky.'

'But where the hell did she get those Lions?!' Sirius cried in shock. 'Did this estate have lions instead of guard dogs?!'

'The details are insignificant as to how, what matters is the results.' said Reborn as Omerta is still at work and the lions are mist-makes. 'Back to training with you, Sirius!' and he began shooting Sirius.

'AAAAHHHH!'

'...good thing I'm now a boss at work.' Dino shuddered, pitying Sirius. He definitely did not miss training days where he suffered and cried a lot.

'Work hard Sirius! The results are worth it!' Selene chimed cheerfully.

'IF I SURVIVE THIS!'

'Heh, the reason Selene got off easy in my training is because she does it all without complaining and whining.' Reborn snorted. 'And you two on the other hand sing falsetto! Take a leaf off her book!'

'At least go easy on a starved ex-convict.' Fon shook his head at how mean Reborn could be. The Arcobaleno are staying over until next week to readjust back to their adult bodies after being babies for so long.

'Poor bastard.' Skull shuddered.

Back in Hogwarts, his cousin regained consciousness and came face to face with her spooked cousin. 'Oh, is something the matter?'

'S-Selene, you have a creepy smile on you just now...'

'Oh that? I'm just chasing away a harpy who just can't keep her hands off, that's all.' Selene smiled. 'Really, going after a married man, shameless.'

'But how?!'

'Its a spiritual bond thing...I can project myself near my fiancee and punish leeches.'

'Wow...Pansy wasn't THAT protective over me.' Draco blinked owlishly.

'Well, you're protected by politics, while my fiancee is a businessman who has to deal with gold-digging attempts on a daily basis, but due to Public Image and Public Relations, he cannot drive them away so that's my job.' Selene explained. 'I act in the shadows so he won't be implicated with what misfortune they get courtesy of my retaliation, see? My fiancee just got off his limousine to go to his Financial Advisor's Office when some skank tried to flirt with him, so...I took steps.'

'Oh...'

'I had to magically move a manhole near this hussy, opened said hole and let them fall in.' that was a lie. It was a story she made up because she can't say the truth.

'Manhole? What's that?'

'You know those round metal things you see on sidewalks and even roads in muggle london? They lead straight to the sewers.' Draco finally understood what a manhole is now judging by how he looked. He looked green and horrified at the idea.

'Ugggh, Cousin Andromeda taught you TOO well...you dumped those women in sewage!' he exclaimed and his cousin smiled beatifically.

Other than Periodic Retaliatory Blackouts and muggle comic books, Selene can also be seen running and jumping recklessly all over Hogwarts in a shirt, short shorts with long socks and white shoes.

She recently started going to class but still doesn't talk to anyone. Draco felt she talks to him because they're cousins.

But it'll be a while before she eats with everyone.

But one day, while he was looking for her, he saw her talking to a tall floating figure in a coat holding chains, and this figure have bandages all over and wore a top hat. They were talking in a foreign language before the figure disappeared in black flames but said flames remained and she jumped onto said flames and vanished, freaking him out.

But she returned some time later through another location.

'Selene, we need to talk.' Draco gasped out but her smile did not reach her eyes.

'Cousin, speak not of what you saw...or they will come for you and you'll never go home again...so forget it, OK?' she warned him kindly.

'But...what happened back there?'

'Can't say, sorry. Statute of Secrecy thingy.'

His cousin is involved with something and he cannot talk about it or else.

'By the way, where is Lord Black? Mum tried to mail him but the owl can't find him.'

'Sirius? Well he's regaining his shape in a protected location. His old job gave him a year to be in shape again, see?'

'Oh...then can you give this to him for mum then?' Draco gave her a letter. 'It'll be summer vacation soon.'

'OK.'

Summer Vacation...

Cavallone Estate...

'Well, it's been a year Selendris.' said Reborn as Selene returned home. 'Cramming was difficult, but we managed.' he said as Sirius was utterly awkward before her as he was in his boxers to show that he regained his health and got buffed up.

'Mm! From a skin-and-bones to a tennis player physique!' Selene gasped out. 'You really crammed big time!'

'That was hell but Amy did give me a year to get back in shape.' Sirius sighed. 'My body is still singing soprano in soreness I could use a vacation before I go back to my old job.'

'Oh yeah, cousin Draco asked me to give you a letter from Cousin Narcissa cuz' the mailman can't find you.' Selene giggled. 'It's foul-proof, don't worry.'

'Cissa sent me a letter? Damn and I heard from Ted and Andy what you got off Draco's head.' Sirius whistled as he took the letter from his goddaughter.

'Hey Reborn, you think you can dress him too? Our kind's fashion sense sucks.' Selene piped up, causing Sirius to sputter.

'Oi?!'

Summer Vacation in the Estate...

Selene underwent intensive training, spending time with Dino and doing jobs - because Reborn said she hardly knew Dino. However, Sirius called her out to watch an event with the family.

'Probably an event their kind planned out.' Dino mused. 'Her kind is A-Class Omerta unless she tells us herself but even then only select few people are allowed to know.'

'Hooo...? That's interesting to know.' said Reborn. 'Viper's got a glimpse of her world they cannot really say a thing. Now I'm curious.'

Selene can give Dino a Training Ring, and partially cure the Arcobaleno that Bianchi didn't recognize grown-up Reborn and hasn't paid the estate a visit since with Dino lying he got a contract job now that he's done with his tutoring job. Sooo yeah, the mysterious misty child has a lot of secrets.

And recently, Dino can mysteriously stay in his chair in comfort all day and not complain of body weariness and exhaustion he could finish all his work on time as taking outside breaks to rest his back cuts down on work time.

'Actually, I've never felt that recently since Selene doodled some glowing words in my chair.' said Dino. 'My back, neck, ass and thighs no longer feel weariness from sitting too long and while my backrest isn't made that way, when I sit down, the form of my chair changes that I got real great back support! I had her do it in every chair in this estate and my other branches and everyone's far happier and more productive!'

'Really now? That explains the strange hugging sensation in my back lately...I'm not complaining. Have I told you many times how you lucked out?'

'You did. But outside meetings suck... their chairs suck!'

Quidditch World Cup, Camping Grounds...

It was early in the morning, the crack of dawn that they came to the Camping Grounds via Ministry Portkeys.

After the adults set up the tent, Selene prepared the camp fire going because Summer or no, places away from civilization are ALWAYS cold. So she got some soup and hot chocolate made for breakfast. Her relatives are shivering while Selene was warm being a Flame Active, so she was fine with wearing light clothes.

'Good work~' Selene chimed as her family was done setting up the tent, in and out. 'Breakfast time!'

'Hooo! That smells good!' said Tonks as they settled down with Selene ladling the soup with its ingredients into bowls for them all and using Telekinesis to pour them Hot Chocolate. 'What is that?'

'An easy-to-cook Pork and Vegetable Soup! I looked up Camping Food books in Dino's library and looked up easy-to-make stuff for camping.' said Selene. 'Prepared this last night and put it in stasis so I can just dump em' all in a pot of hot water today. Less mess too.'

'That's good to know but let us do the food for lunch and dinner OK?' said Andy. 'What else did you prep for later?'

'For lunch it's Curry and for Dinner it's Grilled Marinaded Fish Fillets with Pilaf Rice. I got the notes here but I did the cumbersome prep work already so only cooking is needed.' Selene took out her pouch and gave Andy the notes. 'They look appealing, so...'

'Alright, we'll have it ready later. After breakfast, go play or something, OK?'

'Play...what's that?'

That got Sirius and the Tonkses pausing.

'...have Dino teach you how to play.' Sirius choked. 'Damn Petunia and her pet pigs and damn Albus for placing you with them!'

xxx

'...so that's what Sirius said.' said Selene, sitting on Dino's empty desk, swinging her legs up and down. 'How do kids play? The Tonkses and Sirius wouldn't know, our upbringing is too different while other societies know how to play.'

'Oh man, that's just so depressing...' Dino swore in dismay with his Mist who really didn't have a childhood. 'You don't know how to play?!'

'No. The Dursleys made my life as difficult and unhappy as possible so I socially-killed them all through the media.' said Selene. 'They're famous in UK so Jail-Time is definitely awkward for them while Dudley is in some Reform place.'

'Well, since my desk is empty for now, let's go out!' Dino decided. 'Come on!' and he took her out. 'Romario look after the house for me!'

'Sure!' "Hoo-boy..." Romario thought.

In whatever heck Selene's society was, Sirius explained away without giving away crucial details because of Statute of Secrecy.

Sirius had a just-as-messed-up upbringing in a Noble Family he belonged to and Selene was a Cinderella, only, her relatives didn't know she was rich so her fortune was safe. Both were very old money Selene can casually buy Dino an expensive ring. Even Sirius who was freaked at spending big, was wealthy enough for '30 generations to live in jobless comfort'. His family used to be as wealthy as the Potters, but his family lives too lavishly to boast and feed their ahem, pure noble blood pride so now it's up to him and his descendants to grow up with more sense, and fill their losses back up.

Selene had used up a favor to have Verde, Fon and Skull fix his health issues regarding Fertility and Inbreeding Damages so he can have children one day as he was 'A step away to sterility that my children might just be sterile! And Prison Malnourishment just did more damage!' She also got herself checked and treated because her paternal side were also noble inbreds while her mother, a commoner thankfully has it normal. Sirius also roped in his cousins because having a daughter was tough on her and Ted they couldn't have a big family as she wanted. And she's nearing Menopause soon! Then there's Nymphadora whose hair color changes based on her mood.

So after treatments the organic and natural way plus Cloud Flame Augmentation...the final step was In-Vitro. And Andy wanted to have kids before Menopause hits, so she'll be back in Italy year by year until she's 50 years old.

At least, three more kids can be made that time.

Dinner time at 7 pm...

'Dino took you to places, I gather?' Ted asked his niece who got back in time for dinner. The dinner was very fragrant and by 8 pm, it'd be the Quidditch World Cup, Ireland VS Bulgaria.

'Yup. He took me out to the Amusement Park while I killed some more assassins out for him again.' said Selene cheerfully as her family blanched. 'He only knew when I told him.'

'You're always on your guard huh? Maybe I should try this Telepathy thing.' Nymphadora mused. 'Teach me OK?'

'OK.'

'But how do you do both?' Sirius asked incredulously.

'With Telepathy I fry their brains, so they're Brain Dead. I also had to phone the Cleaners to pick up the bodies afterward.'

Welp, Selene took to guardianhood seriously she can cheerfully kill anyone out for her young boss. She was said to be so competent that every party Dino attends and she had to be there, poaching attempts were made for Bosses who wants her for their heirs Dino and Selene had to fight them off by strengthening their bonds!
