Mission Log:
Time: 9:00 pm, May 21st
Place: Hogwarts Grounds, The Forbidden Forest
Status: Excellent. Soul Society are the victors of the battle, with no casualties and Wonderweiss Margera has been eliminated.
Previously on Bleached Magic:
"I suppose...you would like to talk." They could only stare at him before Ron managed to choke out three words of extreme wisdom.
"...What...the...HELL?"
Ulquiorra looked calm and assessed the Trio carefully. They had obviously ignored his wishes and escaped lockdown to see the battle progress.
Dumbasses.
The Trio looked shocked and traumatized and assessed Ulquiorra frantically. He was obviously calm and didn't find what happened horrifying or abnormal.
...the fuck?
It was silent, tension flared between the four...associates. Green versus brown and blue, red and brown versus black. Adolescent wizards versus kickass Ex-Espada.
...it was still silent. Ulquiorra was wondering how long it had been, and was getting impatient. He just won a war, he could be getting some nice Orihime love action right now! He paused.
...Cannot believe I just thought that.
"Would you like to talk about what happened in the battle?" Ulquiorra prompted, having enough of the goddam silence. "Because if you do not, I will return to the castle, make up an excuse as to why I was unconscious the entire time, and I would like to spend some time with Orihime before she returns to the Soul Society."
Mentioning Orihime worked well, because that triggered Ginny's jealousy reflex, which triggered Ron's protective over brother reflex, which triggered Hermione's "DON'T KILL HIM RON!" reflex.
"What the hell are you?!" Ron burst out, a crazy gleam in his eyes. Ulquiorra remained unperturbed.
"I am a Shinigami."
"YOU'RE A...BAT THINGY! A BAT MAN!" Ulquiorra grimaced. "Never call me that again." He had never realized the...connection between his release/bankai and the Batman.
I would be so much more competent as Batman then Bruce Wayne. Ulquiorra thought privately.
You could totally kick his ass.
Thank you.
'Welcome.
"All DC comics aside!" Hermione cut in, ignoring Ron and Ginny's confused looks, "What the hell was that?!"
"It was my-"
"Well, yeah, that obviously was some type of Shinigami power or whatever!" Hermione shrieked. Ulquiorra raised an eyebrow. If they are not concerned about my appearance then what...
"You impaled that guy with your bare hand!" Oh. That was it. How absurd.
Pansies.
Not now.
):P
…
"Yes, I am aware. Do you have a point?" Ulquiorra asked, his brow still raised. Seeing as Ulquiorra was, well, Ulquiorra, he did not understand her reaction from the fact that he had just impaled someone in the collarbone with his bare hand. And then snapped the guys neck with his tail. ...Nope. Still didn't get it.
Hermione gaped. " 'Do you have a point?' " she asked faintly, incredulous. "You impale someone barehanded, mercilessly and you don't even care! You couldn't even properly kill Voldemort!"
"Yes, I fail to see your confusion in the matter." Ulquiorra said blankly. "Harry Potter couldn't kill Voldemort properly, what is your point?"
"You're Harry Potter!"
"I am Ulquiorra."
"No-"
"Yes. I am." Ulquiorra cut her off. "It is obvious that you cannot understand, but I will try to get through to you once again. I am Ulquiorra Sciffer, I was an Arrancar. Do you know how Arrancars come to be and how they gain power?" They shook their heads. "They eat each other." Ignoring their disgusted and horrified looks he continued, "We eat each other and become Menos Grande, and if we are strong enough, we retain our personality and then become Adjuchas. To keep our personalities and remain Adjuchas we continue to devour each other." He gazed into their horrified faces. "I am not Harry Potter. I am not a foolish, naïve human child. I am a former Arrancar and Espada, and I am older then you can imagine. For the last time, Harry Potter is dead."
Ron shook his head, as if to clear his head from the news that his best mate was gone for good. Or he was trying to clear away the disturbing mental images that the explanation conjured. Hermione was staring at Ulquiorra, her eyes glassy, trying to comprehend that Harry...that Harry was gone.
Ginny believed it.
Ginny believed it easily, after seeing what she saw. She was a little sad, that she could accept it and turn her back on "Harry" so easily. She supposed that they weren't as close, that she wasn't in as love as she thought she was. Of course, she was still jealous about the big breasted bitch, and angry and hurt that he left her, but she could move on now.
And maybe, she and this Ulquiorra could become friends.
She nodded. "Alright then, I suppose I'll have to introduce myself." Ron and Hermione gaped at her, dismayed and chilled at what she was doing. Ulquiorra's brows furrowed slightly.
"...Excuse me?"
"Ginny, what-?"
"Hi." Ginny stuck out her hand, smiling sadly. "My name's Ginny Weasely. It's nice to meet you." Understanding dawned, and Ulquiorra accepted the hand in a firm handshake.
"Ulquiorra Sciffer. Pleased to make your acquaintance." They shook hands. Ulquiorra turned to the stunned duo (Ginny's still in the Trio, but is not mentioned since she has accepted the truth. Finally). "I hope you will learn to accept the truth of what has occurred, but if you cannot, I am afraid it is not my problem. Now I wish to return to the castle, I do not want Orihime-" Ginny twitched. "-to worry."
He turned sharply and, with his hands in his pockets and his perfect posture contrasting the laid back image that portrayed, walked calmly towards the castle. Ginny soon began follow, but found she couldn't since Ron had held her back by the arm.
"Ron, we both know from personal experience that hanging by the forest at night is as stupid as you could get." Ron frowned, and didn't let go.
"What the hell was that?"
"What?"
"That whole...introduction thing!" Ron shouted peeved. "What the hell?"
"...well, I don't really know Ulquiorra, so I thought I would introduce-"
"HE'S NOT ULQUIORRA!" Ginny smiled sadly, her face full of empathy and pity.
Ron hated it.
"Yes." she spoke softly. "Yes he is. He always has been, but we never knew it. He belongs with them." she continued, to their horror. "He belongs with the Shinigami, they're the ones who understand him, the ones that have faced what he has. He and the bit-" she stopped and swallowing thickly, her face twisting unpleastently, but continued, "-he and Orihime-" she managed to choke out, "-belong together." She smiled bitterly again. "I didn't think I'd ever say something so corny, but they're soul mates. And we have to let him go."
And with that, she left the forest for the castle, bracing herself for the punishment that she would receive once she returned.
Ron turned to Hermione, who was still standing there numb, but her eyes were clear now.
"...is...he really gone?"
"I think he is Ron."
"...Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"...it hurts."
"-sniff-" Ron embraced Hermione in a comforting hug. "I know. It really does hurt."
Ron and Hermione entered the Great Hall sometime later that evening, though it was quite close to nightf. They saw the Shinigami interacting with the wizards, which was a very odd sight indeed. The dark haired one wearing glasses was eagerly talking to the Ravenclaws, saying something about their wonderful sense of color and how they looked excellent, like a Quincy...(1)
The silent girl with the braid and miniskirt stood faithfully next to him, smiling softly amused at his antics.
Fashion obsessed Ex-Quincys. What'd ya gonna do?
The bald guy was screaming as the little pink haired girl was...wait...
"Is she...chewing on his head?!"
Yes, Yachiru was gnawing on Ikkaku's head, while Yumichika was giving advice to Professor Trelawney to improve her sense of style. Though we all know that she had none what so ever. The guy with the spikey belled hair and the blue haired guy were watching and laughing their asses off. Nel was cheering Yachiru on and eating some more pudding, something that Grimmjow kept a keen (and slightly perverted) eye on. Rangiku and Gin were making out in a corner, Madame Pomfrey and Captain Unonhana were talking cheerfully over a cup of tea, Shuuhei was trying to score with Izuru shaking his head amused. Hat 'n Clogs, his almost-always-almost-completely naked purple haired girlfriend, and the small ringed braid lady were talking and observing their surroundings.
The Shinigami group that all came to know and love (well, maybe not love), were all sitting together and talking happily, or as happy as they can get seeing as Ulquiorra and Byakuya are in that group.
Ron and Hermione met up with Ginny and they stood there together in the Great Hall, now knowing it was the end of their Golden Trio (Ron, Harry, Hermione) and was the start of their...Silver(?) Trio (Ron, Ginny, Hermione).
It was time to move on.
"So, what are you going to do now Ulquiorra?" Ginny asked curiously on the Hogwarts Express. About a month had passed since the "Wonderweiss War", and school was now over. Yes, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione (and Ulquiorra by association, I think) were now full fledged wizards. Due to damages to school property, the visiting Shinigami, and relief that the students hadn't gotten caught up in the battle, as well as it being the first year after Voldemort's defeat, Professor McGonagall decided to screw final exams. Everyone was thrilled.
Except Hermione, but she doesn't really count.
All the Shinigami, excluding the original group and Gin, who wanted to stick around, returned to the Soul Society. Nel and Grimmjow returned to Las Noches, which is where they lived.
It was a nice big place (with furniture!), and they could leave to get food from the Real World whenever they wanted. It was a pretty sweet deal.
Anyway, after they left, last lessons were taught, memories made, and Ron was mentally scarred when he accidentally walked in on Rangiku and Gin having sex.
He couldn't look at the two of the without shuddering and twitching.
So now they were on the Hogwarts Express, heading home. The Shinigami were heading back to Soul Society to finally complete their mission and get back to normality.
...well, depends on what you call normality, but if you consider a world where swords are magical and little girls gnaw on bald people's heads, then yes, they are returning to normality.
Ulquiorra turned to Ginny, "I have been offered a position in the Gotei 13 in the Soul Society, and I have chosen to accept the position."
It was true, Ichigo had actually offered him the position of his Vice-Captain since Hinamori transferred to the Kidou Corps after the Winter War. Ulquiorra declined, saying while such a high position was flattering, he had pride.
Nope, instead he was taking the position of Squad 9 Captain. Shuuhei was cool with it, as long as Ulquiorra hadn't liked Tousen (yeah, Hisagi has a childish grudge on Tousen, but who doesn't. Bastard).
Ulquiorra replied that no one liked Tousen.
Besides Wonderweiss. But he was batshit crazy. And dead.
Ginny faltered. "So...are we ever going to see you again?" Ulquiorra considered.
"Possibly. I am unsure, what do you think Kurosaki trash?" Ichigo shrugged.
"Eh, you won't be able to see them for at least 5 years, but they'll let you visit."
"Well, I guess you don't have much time left." Ron started, "So...wanna play Exploding Snap? You know, for the last time."
"Will you endlessly annoy me if I do not?"
"Yeah."
"Then I will... play with you Ronald." He said play particularly disdainfully.
Hours flew by as they zoomed past the country and finally returned to King's Cross Station. They gathered they're things, and exited the train. Ulquiorra turned to the Silver(?) Trio and stood there, silently.
"I...suppose this is Goodbye." Hermione swallowed. "Yeah. I guess it is." She then moved forwards and gave him a big friendly hug, which he bared uncomfortably. Ron and Ginny proceeded to hug him too, resulting in a group hug. It was rather uncomfortable, but they had to get it out of their systems. Ulquiorra moved towards the Shinigami, dragging his luggage with him. Ichigo placed a large hand on Ulquiorra's shoulder companionably, which was knocked away by Ulquiora, muttering something about "trash dirtying his attire". Ichigo scowled.
Bastard.
Ichigo called out Zangetsu and Zangetsu glowed with energy. Ichigo stuck his Zanpaktou into the air and called out, "Open!" and the Senkaimon opened and 8 hell butterflies appeared to take them home. Ulquiorra turned one last time, and gave the Silver(?) Trio a short wave.
It was time to move on. Time to finally be with his woman.
Forever.
The Trio sadly watched as Ulquiorra gave them a short and final wave, before disappearing into the Japanese door with the others. As Ulquiorra and the door faded away, they turned towards their families to start a new and unexpected future.
It was time to move on.
Time to go forward and start their lives.
Until they met again, of course.
