A Hope through time/ Hope Mikaelson in hp and teen wolf

Chapter 20: chapter 20



At the end of June Daphne had Nicolas and Perenelle take Hope to Gringotts to undergo her Magical Maturity. Hope looked utterly clueless at her parents as she walked through the walls of Gringotts towards the time altering rooms.

"Okay what is this 'Magical Maturity' that you guys and Daphne want me to do? Because I am at a loss on what's going on." Hope complained as she walked around a corner to meet the shocked face of a couple of Healer Goblins who were standing in front of one of the time rooms and started talking quietly in rushed Gobbledegook.

Nelle looked shocked at Hope. "You didn't have this in your universe?"

"I don't even know what 'this' is." A level of snark escaped Hope's mouth as she was getting irritated.

The gravelly, rough voice of the Goblin King came from behind them. "Magical Maturity is basically something that most Half-Bloods and Purebloods go through to achieve their Magical potential until they hit adulthood at the age of 17 instead of going through puberty like a human would."

King Ragnok placed a strong hand on Hope's shoulder before continuing. "Basically this procedure will physically alter your body to roughly 15 or 16 years of age and should allow you to use more of your magic. But since you don't actually need this procedure for your magic, it will modify you to look older than you are. Which is something that may interest you. Considering how frequently you complain about being shorter and younger than you originally were when you first learned how to fight."

Hope blinked at the explanation before an unimpressed look came across her face. "I could have aged into an 18 year old by staying in one of these rooms?"

The Goblin King snorted. "No. Otherwise you would've already experienced a growth spurt during your training. You must be 13 before you can go through Magical Maturity. I do believe your Mate has already come through here. I'm not even going to attempt to tease as I think you would take my head off for such a comment but she is indeed a gorgeous woman. You will lose your breath the next time you see her."

"So I didn't do this last year because I wouldn't know what this is and Daphne brought it up this year?" At everyone's nod Hope raised an eyebrow at the Goblin King, "I can't wait. So I go in there and I'll look 15 or 16 until I hit 17 chronologically, then ageing will kick in like normal?"

"Correct young Queen."

"How long do I need to be in the room for?" Curiosity in Hope's voice.

The Goblin King grunted. "About 3 hours."

He pulled out some parchmentwork from behind his back. "Guess what we get to do while we wait."

Hope threw her head back and groaned loudly. "Fuck I hate politics."

Hope dragged her feet to the room before turning back to Nicolas and Perenelle. "Sorry about my language but you guys don't have to deal with British Wizarding politics. They suck."

The couple laughed at Hope, Hope shook her head. "Alright I'll see you guys in a week. I'm staying here to do my Warrior training after. I'll get the hang of my old body faster by sparring."

After going through the Bills King Ragnok provided from the Wizengamot within the first three hours, Hope shook out her cramped hand before glaring at the pile of parchment work. "God I hate parchmentwork."

The Goblin King chuckled at her. "Be thankful you're not listening to the idiots. They're worse in person."

Hope groaned again. "I didn't think it could get worse."

The elderly Goblin grinned at the Tribrid. "Oh it can. They think they're being clever when they write these Bills, trying to trick the other side into agreeing with their rules and regulations. But in person there's not even an ounce of cunning. It's all blatant threats and blackmail. I'm surprised they can get anything done in reality."

"Fuck me." Hope muttered while still speaking in Gobbledegook. "I'm not looking forward to that."

Hope frowned slightly when a thought came to her and she turned to the Goblin King. "I just realised I haven't informed you that I'm going to be staying in this universe at least until 2030 before returning home. But since I don't want my Mate to feel like she has to choose between me and her universe, I plan on crossing back and forth."

"Good. I was hoping you would stay here permanently, but knowing that you plan on coming back occasionally is probably the best outcome I could've imagined if you were to return to your universe." The Goblin King replied with a feral grin.

Hope cracked her neck to the side as she twirled Excalibur in her right hand as two Goblin Warriors stood opposite her brandishing their own short swords. The Warrior pair moved forwards in sync moving as quick as snakes and just as deadly, Hope dodged the sword coming from her left as she moved herself into the incoming Goblin on the right using her sword to block the strike coming towards her stomach.

She used her strength to push back against the Goblin on the right, miscalculating her strength and slicing the Goblins sword arm causing him to hiss. His partner came up behind her and Hope jumped up flipping behind the second Goblin but he was able to react quickly swinging at his opponent's shoulder.

Hope met the blade in the middle and they exchanged a number of strikes, feints and parries before the slightly injured Goblin rejoined the fight.

The two Goblins started making coordinated strikes at Hope but she enhanced her speed allowing her to keep up with the two Goblins and even permitted Hope to move fast enough to enact her own offence.

One of the Goblins, she thinks the injured one managed to get a cut on her left shoulder as she tried to side step a kick coming at her knee from the second Goblin. Hope grunted slightly but felt her cut almost instantly heal within the next 2 seconds. Hope repaid the Goblins by including her Vampire speed along with her Wolf speed, making her move like a blur, but she didn't use her sword.

She kicked the second Goblin in the chest, propelling him to the stone wall behind him, slamming the Goblin into the hard surface with a grunt and knocking him unconscious. Hope rushed at the injured Goblin, gripping his throat and slamming him unceremoniously to the ground beneath him, making him lose his grip on his weapon.

As he reached for his short sword, Hope kicked the short sword away from him before mounting the Goblin with Excalibur held against the Goblins throat.

"Yield?" Hope asked with a growl and golden eyes.

The Goblin underneath her nodded ever so slightly to avoid a cut on his neck. Hope removed the blade and stood up sheathing it in her scabbard before offering the Goblin a hand.

The Goblin accepted the hand to help pull him up and remarked. "Yes, we yield. Good fight young Queen. I'm glad you didn't limit yourself to just human means. You are a Werewolf and Vampire. Use these traits whenever you feel like you need them."

Hope nodded her head in understanding before turning her head to the door as King Ragnok entered the room. "Well done Wolf Queen. You were not underestimating your fighting prowess when you first requested this training. But I will admit after your Magical Maturity, you are handling yourself far better than before. You have more grace, confidence and coordination."

Hope gave a smirk that would have mirrored her father's at the praise from the Goblin King. "Thank you for the compliment, King Ragnok. It means a lot to me."

Hope looked back to the door. "It's been a week already hasn't it?"

The Goblin King gave an affirmative nod. "Yes. You have been fighting nearly constantly while you are awake. It's impressive, however your time is up."

"Very well. Before I leave, could I bother you to visit my vault please? I need to pick up a book and a ring."

Hope located the book she recalled about Consorts and found the section on Mates that her Vampire and Wolf were hiding from her, 'Assholes.' Her Witch thought to them with an internal glare. They snickered and shrugged mentally at her.

Hope walked to the jewellery section of the vault where she found Daphne's 12th birthday present of the protection locket and looked at the rings looking for something simple but elegant. Since the necklace she had given Daphne last year was gold and it suited her wonderfully she decided to gift golden jewellery to her Mate whenever she feels like it is necessary.

Hope found a ring that had some interweaving lines on the band and had three small circular sky blue topaz gems set within the band in a triangular pattern. Hope picked up this ring and looked over it with a scrutinous eye, channelling her inner Aunt Rebekah before smiling and pocketing the ring as well. She was going to add an inscription on the inside and get a jeweller in Diagon Alley to do it.

Hope withdrew some Galleons so she could get some bras now that she finally has breasts again, she also got some formal clothes in monotone colours as well as blues, greens, purples and burgundy for the Balls coming up soon. She also figured she would need some suits and dresses for some Wizengamot sessions as she has a strange feeling that she will be joining one probably within the next 3 years.

Hope found a small shop with mass amounts of jewellery within it. Some for simple gifts for birthdays then more extravagant items for the Purebloods and weddings. Hope put a mild glamour spell on the ring, hiding the stones and making it look like there was a single diamond set in the ring, giving it the appearance of a classic engagement ring.

She went up to the jeweller.

"Hi there." Gaining their attention before continuing, "By any chance are you able to put inscriptions on jewellery? I was hoping to put a message on the inside of this ring."

The young jeweller looked at the young girl in front of her with an appraising yet jealous eyes as she slowly took the piece from Hope. "There's enough space to write an inscription. What are you wishing to put in there? Just eyeballing it, I can only fit up to 20 characters though."

Hope asked for some parchment and drew a double infinity symbol at the beginning leaving a space before writing '∞ Forever Yours ∞' and adding a second double infinity after it before handing it back to the jeweller.

When Hope got back to the Flamel Cottage she was greeted by Nicolas and Perenelle but they stopped and stared at Hope in reverence.

"Wow!" They both breathed out simultaneously.

Hope raised both her eyebrows at them and placed a hand on her hip. "What?" She asked curiously.

Nic tried to clear his head but decided to look at his wife instead as he didn't want to answer that question with a 50 foot pole, not even if the question depended on his life, he is staying far away from that. Nelle chose to answer Hope. "You look stunning, Hope! Is this how you looked before coming to this universe?"

Hope looked down at her form and remembered that Nic and Nelle haven't seen her at this age before. "Oh… Sorry. I forgot that I now look 16. God I'm so happy that I jumped over most of my awkward teenage years. They were not my most attractive years." She remarked with a shrug.

"And yes. This is how I looked before coming here although just slightly more mature, but it's not a big difference. It sure is nice being back in my old body." Hope snapped her fingers causing her glamour to fade away and her scabbard to reappear at her hip.

"Training with the Goblins was much more interesting this time round. I think they are starting to respect me. I'll be back later, I need a shower. I feel sweaty from training." Hope took off into her room while Nic and Nelle questioned to themselves on how someone could look that genetically perfect.

Hope took her time in the shower, finally feeling comfortable in her own skin then she has in a long time. She exited the shower with a sigh and stood in front of a mirror, Hope extended the mirror so it was a full-length mirror.

Hope took in her appearance. Her face has lost its freckles and replaced with smooth clear skin, her eyes were still the same ocean blue they always were but the shape of her eyes were more round shaped then when she was a kid. She still had her small button nose, her lips were filled out and bow shaped.

Hope flashed a smile filled with white straight teeth before smirking at her reflection. Her hair, a light auburn colour that sometimes looked like a copper brown in some lights, came down between her shoulder blades in smooth waves even when wet, but when it was dry it was soft and seemed to have a healthy shine.

She was still short, only 5'3" but Hope was happy with her height because it allowed her to be stealthy and quick. Her body is the only thing that has slightly changed.

Thanks to her training with the Goblins and her morning runs, her arms and legs are more toned than before, along with a flat stomach and the slight hint of a 'V' shape running from her hips to her thighs. She has the body of an athlete. Her breasts were full and round but not ridiculously large, she wore a 'D' cup, so she was still able to wear bras for sports and training.

Hope turned her body slightly to the left to bring her right shoulder blade into the reflection, once seeing her Crescent Wolf birthmark she ran her fingers gently over it, shivering at the sensation.

Since it was the beginning of July and she didn't need to contact Harry yet to remove his Horcrux which she would be doing sometime in early August. Sometime before the Weasley's return from their overseas trip and while Harry was on his own at the Leaky Cauldron so she wouldn't have to deal with the Dursley's or the Weasley's.

Otherwise she may kill the former family if the books and movies were as accurate as this universe.

Hope got a letter from Luna telling her to take Daphne on a date tomorrow to avoid the French again and to inform her Mate about the future via the books on 'Harry Potter'.

Hope rolled her eyes but did as told. She asked if Myrddin and Alexandria could take them somewhere private, Myrddin collected Daphne from her home and Alexandria took Hope.

Apparently the midnight and sunlight coloured birds decided to take them to Canada in the wildlands to the north.

As they arrived, neither girl moved for nearly 5 minutes as they took in each other's appearances since this is the first time they have seen each other since they both went through Magical Maturity.

"Holy shit. You look like sex on legs." Daphne blurted out suddenly before realising what she said and covering her mouth while her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

Hope chuckled slightly as she appraised her Mate shamelessly.

"Thank you for that, love. Although I would say that you put Aphrodite to shame. You are unconditionally ravishing." She said as she took in Daphne's new body.

Daphne must nearly be 5'6" with Hope's eyes travelling up her body from her feet, her Mate was dressed in form fitting jeans that Hope had managed to convince her to get and was ever so glad about it. Daphne's legs look slim but toned from the running that Hope has made her do.

Hope could only look at Daphne's torso in awe, she may not be able to see under clothing but she knew the blonde had a lean stomach and in a few weeks once Hope starts up their training again she knows that her Mate will be more graceful than before.

The Tribrid also stared at her Mate's new breasts for a while believing them to be possibly a 'C' or 'D' cup. Just like her legs Daphne's arms are thin but are nicely toned for someone of her height.

Hope's attention was mainly kept on her Mate's alluring facial features. Her almond shaped eyes got slightly more open, so they were nearly oval shaped, her distinctive ice blue eyes hadn't changed which Hope was immediately grateful for as she loved those eyes. Daphne's straight and narrow nose led to full lips that housed a magnificent smile.

But Daphne's hair partially shocked her.

"I will admit. I like the wavy hair. But I also like your straight hair. Less chance to tangle my fingers in it if it's straight though." Hope remarked as she closed the gap between them, sliding her fingers into wavy hair and holding onto Daphne's head as Hope pulled her head down for a kiss.

This kiss was different from the others that Hope and Daphne have shared so far as Hope deepened the kiss instantly while caressing Daphne's scalp making her Mate moan in pleasure. Hope nipped on both lips gently as she trailed her hands through silky hair and down Daphne's neck, so they could settle on the taller girl's shoulders. Hope used her newfound leverage to push herself up into another passionate kiss before pulling away and wrapping her arms around Daphne's neck and shoulders.

"I probably should stop. As much as you look like a 16 year old, you are still 13 and more than likely not ready for everything I could offer you." Hope smirked at the stunned but tranquil girl in front of her.

After a few moments Daphne blinked rapidly a couple of times before focusing on the attractive girl's bright blue eyes only a few inches from her face, before an adorable frown appeared on Daphne's face. "Sorry. Did you say something?"

Hope snorted softly. "Basically I tried to tell you that even though we both look 16 or 17. You love, are still mentally a 13 year old. Me... Not so much. So don't tempt me, my little vixen."

"I'll take it under consideration." Daphne answered with a mischievous grin.

"So why did Luna send me a letter saying to dress for winter but we didn't even know where we were ending up until like twenty minutes ago?"

Hope released her Mate and took her left hand in her right and started walking slowly in a random direction taking in the sights as the two Magical birds played tag in the sky.

"Well Luna's ancestor is a powerful seer who found me even before I entered this world. So because of her, I have Nic and Nelle, as this seer informed them about me before I arrived with a date and location giving them the when and where to find me. I sent my thanks in a letter and offered friendship to the person closest in age to me. As I had mentioned Luna is a Seer but I have taught her to use wandless magic, so her Seer abilities are now through the roof. She possibly knows more than me."

One of Daphne's perfectly shaped eyebrows rose at the last part of Hope's comment.

Hope groaned slightly. "Why do you already know most of my tells and actually pay attention to the hidden meaning behind my words?"

Daphne snorted at Hope's childish whining.

"Stop trying to change the subject and just tell me what is bothering you." She scolded the smaller girl.

A scoff escaped Hope's throat. "Very well, love."

"First off, as much as I'm from another universe and the future, my universe has stories of your world, mainly focused on Harry Potter's life and his battle against Voldemort. So I know most of the storyline until the end of year 7 of Hogwarts…"

Hope bites her lips nervously as she murmurs. "Speaking of which, your sister marries Draco Malfoy…"

Daphne drags them to a stop and her left eye twitches as she faces Hope with a deadly expression matched with a cold tone that would rival Snape's. "What?"

Hope threw her hands in the air and backed away slightly in fear.

"Hey! Don't kill the messenger. If you don't like it. Change it. Afterall my appearance in the universe has already made ripples through this world. The Legendary House of Emrys was never activated in the books or movies that we have in my universe." She offered the irate girl an explanation.

"Since the books are based on Harry Potter, they don't actually focus on what happened to you so interfering in your life was easy to do without disrupting the timeline too badly. So I'm still able to use the future knowledge I have to help out. I already have some plans in place to avoid unnecessary deaths when Voldemort resurrects himself at the end of our 4th year."

Daphne freezes at the mention of Voldemort's name. "You-Know-Who gets resurrected?" She asks in fear.

"Yes. But you shouldn't be afraid, love." Hope mentioned as she moved next to the taller girl and pulled her into a hug.

"With your Magical Maturity along with the access to your magic and being able to perform wandless magic, you are stronger than him especially if you use your ice magic. So don't fear a name that in French means 'flight of death'. It's nothing to fear. Also I'd kill him before he could touch you." The Tribrid shrugged after the blonde girl gave her a perplexed look.

"I'm already working on killing him by taking out his soul containers known as Horcruxes. I've taken out three and I'm planning on stripping the one attached to Harry, then killing it over the holidays."

Daphne looked horrified at Hope. "He split his soul four times!?"

"7 actually." Hope murmured to correct the witch.

Daphne looked disgusted at the information. "What are they and how do you get rid of them?"

Hope lifted up her hand and used her fingers to count them off and how to destroy them in the old timeline and then in this timeline. "First was Tom Riddle's Diary. Tom Riddle is a Half-Blood and is Voldemort's real name."

Daphne's eyes widened in shock as Hope continued. "The Diary is stabbed by a Basilisk Fang in the Chamber of Secrets. Yes, the monster was a Basilisk. The snake was probably about 60 feet long, an interesting battle. I banished it to the opposite end of the Chamber without looking before Myrddin and Dumbledore's Phoenix, Fawkes clawed its eyes out…" Hope stopped talking when she saw the utterly pissed face of her Mate.

"... I'll show you a pensive memory to prove that I wasn't hurt if that helps??" Hope tried to awkwardly placate Daphne.

Daphne slapped Hope's shoulder.

"Damn it! Stop getting yourself into trouble would you!" The blonde groaned in exasperation.

"I'll try…" Hope tries weakly to assure her Mate who glared at the Tribrid.

"Anyway, I stabbed the Diary in this universe but Harry stabbed it in the original timeline." Hope quickly changes the subject and continues on with the Horcruxes.

"Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, which also houses the Resurrection Stone of the Deathly Hallows, is destroyed by Dumbledore. I'm not sure about the method but I plan on making Dumbledore destroy this ring once again in 6th year. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup was purged by Ron and Hermione using Basilisk Venom in 7th year. I had the Goblins perform a purification ritual on it and asked for it to return it back to its original family before I even started school."

"Next is Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem, it was reduced to ash by Fiendfyre cast by Crabbe or Goyle. I can't remember which." Hope shrugs slightly.

"I removed the Horcrux from the Diadem on the last day of 2nd year and siphoned it into a cauldron and used the Sword of Gryffindor, infused with the Venom of Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk to cleave the Horcrux in two." Hope moves away and starts to pace between two large trees as she assesses how to destroy the remaining two Horcruxes.

"Slytherin's Locket was shattered by Ron wielding the Sword of Gryffindor during the 7th year. I haven't actually got a plan for this one yet. I was planning on helping Harry exonerate his Godfather, Sirius Black, since he was wrongly accused. Because of the exoneration I plan on using a favour from him as Lord Black. I will ask him to get the Locket from his House-Elf and give it to me to destroy. Maybe I'll ask the Goblins to purify it or use the Sword. Nagini is Voldemort's snake Familiar. Neville beheaded it with the Sword of Gryffindor in year 7. I just plan on just killing the snake if I come across it."

"Finally the last Horcrux is located in Harry's famous lightning bolt Scar. Harry took a Killing Curse from Voldemort, sacrificing himself, but the Killing Curse only killed the foregin soul in Harry's Scar so he came back at the end to duel Voldemort. This is the Horcrux that worried me slightly. So I decided to see if a Siphoning Spell from my universe worked here by using the Diadem as a test run. Since I transferred that Horcrux to another item, I'm going to do the same to Harry's and put it into an ugly ass voodoo doll I found while shopping in London, then using the Sword of Gryffindor to destroy it…"

Hope then stopped her pacing for a moment before realising. "Huh, I guess I could return the Sword of Gryffindor early to the Goblins after I chop up the voodoo doll."

Daphne managed to regain her composure before Hope turned back to her. "Well that was a fuck ton of information to take in…. Wait, Sirius Black is innocent?"

"Yep. Peter Pettigrew was the Potter's Secret Keeper, not Black."

Hope sighed her annoyance as she realised something else. "I'll also have to tell Harry about being the Head of the Most Ancient and Noble House Potter since no one else is going to do it."

Daphne looked completely horrified. "He doesn't know?"

A strange look came over Hope's face. "Why would he know? He grew up in the Muggle World. His closest friends are not part of the Wizengamot. He's only been disrespected by Purebloods while he's been at school and he's never received any Gringotts mail as Dumbledore, acting as Harry's Magical Guardian, diverted Harry's mail away from him so Dumbledore could keep his position as the Potter Proxy."

A look of immense anger took over Daphne causing the air and ground to become frosty. Daphne did something that shocked Hope because she never knew the blonde was so fluent in French. "Ce vieux bâtard manipulateur! Comment osait-il lui cacher l'héritage d'Harry! Je devrais l'étrangler avec sa barbe sanglante! Connard!"

Hope could help herself and started laughing as she translated her Mate's French curse. 'That manipulative old bastard! How dare he hide Harry's legacy from him! I should strangle him with his bloody beard! Asshole!'

Hope snorted quietly before making an amusing remark. "You know Nelle said something very similar to that. But she definitely mentioned strangling him with his own beard."

Once Daphne was able to calm down slightly Hope informed her that she is keeping one more secret from her but this secret belongs to Nic and Nelle. However Hope has got the go ahead to drop hints for Daphne as they both trust the tall blonde but just wanted to see how smart the eldest Greengrass daughter was.

"Since Nic and Nelle have allowed me to drop hints about their secret, I can now say that the reason Luna will send me to meet up with you is because she is giving me ample opportunity to hide from the Deputy French Minister and his family as they want to meet the child adopted by Nic and Nelle. But none of us want this as the French Wizards will try setting up betrothal contracts with me." Hope explained with a frown.

Daphne flinched back slightly at the knowledge before her mind connected the dots. "So Nic and Nelle have a prodomiant House in French Politics and the French Magical Community wants to be connected to your family?"

"Yep."

"Well the French Political Houses are similar to ours, so Nic and Nelle must be part of a Most Ancient and Noble House?"

Hope nodded with a smile at her Mate's guess.

"Hmm… Since my family travels to France regularly I actually know a lot of the family's there, but all the ones I'm thinking of I've met. The only ones I can think of…" Daphne's eyes shot to Hope's as she looked astounded.

"Nic… Nicolas. It was literally staring us in the face. Nelle… Perenelle? I thought Perenelle had passed away… Then again I thought Nicolas Flamel was a frail old man."

Daphne's eyes glazed over when she mentioned. "You're the Heir of an Most Ancient and Noble House. You'll have to take a partner to continue that line."

Hope used her Vampiric speed to move in front of Daphne and cup her beautiful face. "Love. That's not happening, ever. Nicolas and Perenelle had informed me about what would happen when I became their Heir. They will never place me into a betrothal as they know they wouldn't survive my rage. Plus those two are immortal… for the most part. So theoretically I'm never taking over the Flamel House."

Hope gave her Mate a short loving kiss before pulling back slightly and caressing Daphne's cheeks.

"I'm only going to be with you, love." Hope reached into her pocket, closing her fingers around a ring.

"I was going to give this to you with more elegance but I think you need this now." Hope pulled out the inscribed gold ring with the triangular set of sky blue topaz stones, matching Daphne's eyes.

"I love you, Daphne Annabeth Greengrass." Hope presented the ring to Daphne and her Mate gasped in shock.

"Hope." She breathed out in astonishment. "It's gorgeous. But why are you giving me a ring?"

Hope smiled softly. "Because I'm asking you to hide the Emrys ring for the time being. I want you to be able to wear a ring that you won't have to hide. Call it a promise/betrothal or engagement ring, I don't mind. So long as you are able to wear something that shows you are mine. I'd be beyond honoured, love."

Daphne pulled out a ring of her own jeans. "I had the same thought. I wanted to mark you as my own as well. Great minds think alike… Happy birthday Hope."

The girls exchanged rings. Daphne noted the engraving and smiled happily at the words and symbols, placing the ring on her finger as it resized to fit on her left ring finger. Hope studied the ring her Mate had given her, a silver band with a love heart indicolite stone in the middle of an infinity symbol. Daphne also had the ring engraved with 'With Love, Always' which melted Hope's heart.

"Thank you Daphne. I love it! Although I am impressed that you found a gemstone that matches my eyes." Hope observed as she placed the ring on left hand matching it to Daphne's.

"Please, that gem is a pale imitation to the real deal."

Hope reached out to Daphne's hips and hooked a couple of fingers around her Mate's belt loops on her jeans. "You are becoming such a smooth talker, love."

Hope tightened her grip on the loops and yanked Daphne towards her.

Daphne let out a surprised gasp as her hands came up to Hope's shoulder to brace herself from crashing into Hope. "I should thank you properly."

Hope yanked on Daphne's jeans again, grinding her hips into Daphne's with a smirk while Daphne groaned in pleasure. Hope surged forward, releasing her Mate's jeans so she could put her hands to better use, she used one hand to cup the back of Daphne's head. Bringing the taller girl's mouth to an easier to reach location so she could kiss her Mate passionately.

Hope's other hand trailed slowly up Daphne's side, jumping over the blonde's breasts to reach her shoulder and pushing Daphne backwards so they bumped softly into a tree trunk.

As Daphne's back collided with the tree she let out a soft gasp which Hope took full advantage of, sliding her tongue into Daphne's warm mouth, grazing over Daphne's tongue, teeth and even the roof of her mouth. Hope's Wolf purred into the kiss, causing vibrations into Daphne and the blonde shivered in pleasure at the feeling.

Hope's hand that was holding Daphne's shoulder starts to glide smoothly down the blonde's left arm until she reaches her hand and interlocked her fingers with Daphne's before she pinned that hand to the tree as well, causing another pleasured gasp from the taller girl.

Hope removed her mouth from Daphne's and kissed along her jawline until the auburn haired girl's mouth was over Daphne's left ear and whispered. "I have a feeling that I'm never going to get enough of kissing you."

Hope gently nipped Daphne's earlobe creating a small squeak from the taller girl. "And I swear I recall telling you not to tempt me, love. Although learning that you enjoy not being in control is good to know. As well as knowing you like it a little rough." Hope gave one last kiss to Daphne's neck before pulling away but before she moved too far away she gave Daphne's ass a quick swat.

Daphne let out a sultry groan at the smack. "Tease."

Hope laughed before a wicked grin came on her face causing a look of suspicion on Daphne's face. "I'm going to show you something that I've only shown Nic and Nelle."

Hope shook off her jacket before pulling off her top leaving her in a bra. Daphne's eyes widened in disbelief as her mouth dropped open as she watched Hope strip.

"Oh and could you grab my clothes? I'm going to take you on a run." Hope mentioned offhandedly as she stripped off her pants next.

Daphne reached out to grab Hope's hand, halting her motions.

"What are you doing?" The blonde asked with a red face and a flustered voice.

Hope's eyes glowed golden as she answered her voice became deeper and more animalistic. "Shifting. You haven't seen all of me yet and I need to show you."

Hope noticed her Mate's incredibly red face before adding an afterthought. "If my stripping bothers you I can shift behind a tree if you prefer? It's not like you're never going to see me naked in the future, love. But don't feel obligated to return the favour until you are ready."

Daphne didn't say anything but she released Hope's hand and stood back slightly taking in Hope's half naked form with hungry eyes.

Hope smirked a wolfish grin as she undid her bra, dropping it in the pile below her before she took off her underwear, leaving Hope completely naked in the forest in front of her Mate who looked away with a blushing face.

Hope shifted quickly into her white-grey wolf, only taking about 3 seconds for the entire shift and the sound of bones crunching together as Hope dropped down to her hands and knees as fur grew out from all of Hope's body. Muscles shifted into new locations and Hope sprouted a fluffy bushy tail. Hope shook out her fur as she took a moment to breathe the fresh forest air around her.

The crunching of bones caused Daphne to look at Hope while she shifted extraordinarily quickly for a Werewolf. Daphne's ice coloured eyes widened at the large white-grey wolf which took her breath away.

"Mon deus! You are so beautiful and perfect." Daphne remarked as she dropped to her knees without hesitation in front of the wolf and stroked her fur.

"So soft." She breathed out quietly.

Hope felt so very proud and smug knowing that her Mate appreciated her Wolf form, Hope purred contentedly as she rubbed her face against Daphne's body. Hope also licked at Daphne's hands, neck and shoulders, but not her face until she got permission because that is an intimate thing for wolves to do, so she'd wait.

Hope got restless sitting around and stood up, she nudged Daphne a few times to get the blonde's attention before turning her head to look at her back expectantly.

Daphne blinked a few times in confusion before asking. "Do you want me to hop on your back?"

Hope gave a single nod with her large head. Hope let out a small whine due to the fact Daphne didn't make any innuendos when she correctly assumed Hope wanted Daphne to climb on her back for a run.

Hope had run at a brisk pace with Daphne on her back for nearly an hour until they reached a hoard of Unicorns. Hope had shifted back and got dressed before rejoining Daphne.

"So did you enjoy the run?" Hope questioned her Mate curiously.

Daphne had a bright smile as she nodded.

"Yes actually. I kinda wish I was a wolf so I could join you." She added sadly.

Hope tilted her head.

"Well don't get bit by a Werewolf from this universe for that… What about that thing McGonnagall did during our first Transfiguration lesson. Wasn't she a…" Hope trailed off as she clicked her fingers trying to recall the name.

"An Animagus." Daphne finished for Hope. "But you don't get to choose the animal you become. I could end up as a cat, you know."

Hope snorted at the thought. "You would be a cute cat."

"I would bet my Flamel Heir ring on your Animagus form being a wolf though. Soulmates tend to travel in packs." Hope smirked at her Mate.

Daphne rolled her eyes playfully and replied to Hope in a deadpan voice. "Hilarious."

After a few moments of sultry smiles exchanged between the 2 girls, Hope broke the silence by asking a curious question. "Have you ever considered becoming an Animagus?"

Daphne played with some grass on the forest floor as she answered the Tribrid. "Honestly I never thought about it. I was too focused on mastering my 'Ice Queen' persona to keep men away from me. Besides, becoming an Animagus takes at least months to learn, if not years. It was never a priority for me."

Hope studied the blonde girl for a second. "Do you want to give it a try?"

Daphne gave Hope a weird look at the request before Hope sighed and continued with a roll of her eyes. "All the statistics that everyone gives me from this universe is based on a Magical Core and that no one has ever had access to their full potential. So theoretically you, my parents and Luna all have full access to your magic. Who knows what you 4 can actually do?"

Hope locks eyes with her Mate and gives a knowing smile. "Why not give it a go? I can not change into an Animagus since I am a Werewolf. But shifting into a wolf is probably similar to transforming into an animal."

Daphne scoffed slightly before turning her to the side to look into the forest. "As much as I believe you Hope, how do you suggest I become an Animagus?"

Hope smirked. "I'm going to get you to do the same thing that I had you do to access your magic."

Daphne shook her head slightly in amusement before crossing her legs and sitting on the ground, closing her eyes as she placed herself into a meditative state.

"If I'm going back into my mind like that again, I'm sitting down for this one." She murmurs with a soft smile.

Hope laughed as she leaned against a tree to watch her Mate access her magic again. "I'll let you find your own way to your Animagus form… or forms. Simply love, you will need to find another door in your mind. This one was most likely hidden during your first walk through but after your Magical Maturity and after acquiring full access to your Magical potential this door will be visible to you now. You should be able to sense what is behind each door, if there is more than one, I would suggest focusing on one door at a time."

Daphne hummed her understanding before relaxing her posture and taking a deep breath to begin her meditation.

Hope silently watched her gorgeous girlfriend focus on her mindscape, Hope used Daphne's meditation as a distraction so she could shamelessly ogle her Mate without being caught. Hope had a ridiculously large wolfish grin on her face as her eyes glowed golden at her Mate's blatant beauty.

"Stop staring so hard at me. It's distracting." Daphne blushed as she cracked an eye to glare at Hope.

Hope pursed her lips but raised her hands in surrender, focusing her gaze on her surroundings as well as Daphne but only as a passing glance.

Almost 10 minutes later Daphne opened her eyes in shock. "Well turns out we are both right."

Daphne's voice startles Hope out of examination of the forest and drags sea blue eyes to Daphne's form.

Hope blinked a couple of times to regain her bearings as she focused on her Mate. "How's that, love?"

"Turns out I have 2 animal forms and yes, one is a wolf."

Hope grinned happily at the news before a funny look came across her face.

"Wait, you also have a cat as an Animagus form?" Daphne nodded amusedly.

Hope let out a full belly laugh before regaining her composure. "Words to the wise, with two animals that are generally natural enemies, have them focus on something they want to protect over anything else. It's what I did with my Wolf and Vampire. I have them focused on protecting you and making sure that you are happy and loved."

A look of clarity went through Daphne at Hope's advice. The blonde haired girl took a calming breath before bending her back so her front paws hit the ground, Daphne looked up at Hope with extraordinary eyesight and yipped excitedly at the now taller girl.

Hope blinked in shock. "Well I'll admit. I wasn't expecting you to shift within 30 minutes of discussing Animagi… My god you are magnificent."

Hope bent down next to the blonde coated wolf with Daphne's distinctive ice blue eyes and petted the wolf's soft head. "Congratulations on your first transformation! You are incredible, love."

Hope quietly informed the girl. "Want to go for a run with me?"

The pale wolf jumped up and ran around Hope in excitement. "Okay love. Calm down. I need to stash my clothes in a tree and I'll join you momentarily."

The blonde wolf let out a choked noise and hid her face in her front paws in embarrassment. "Awww that's adorable."

A low growl came from Daphne's throat. "Hey! Don't blame me for that. You are adorable in wolf fur, human skin and I imagine you will be adorable when you eventually shift into your cat."

Daphne purred happily at Hope's words. "Although I'm betting your cat will be a big cat rather than a tabby cat like McGonnagall."

Daphne shifted her ice blue eyes nervously away from Hope before moving into the forest to wait for the white-grey wolf to join her.

Hope and Daphne had run through the Canadian forests at blurring speeds once Daphne was used to running on four paws. They played many games of tag, by having the tagger nipping the runners tail gently before reversing the roles.

The she-wolves curled into one another on the ground to rest but the girls had a tendency to clean the other's fur instead of resting as the grooming calmed both wolves. The girls were content as wolves but when Hope requested in whines that they should probably head back, Daphne shifted back into a human and rolled her shoulders to test her muscles.

"Don't complain wolfy. I'm going to shift into my other form, so I can get used to that form as well." Daphne scolded playfully as she pointed her finger at the white-grey wolf, who brushed up against Daphne's legs purring away.

"Also since when do wolves purr?" Daphne asked the wolf.

Hope managed to purr louder as she sat in front of Daphne with an amused look on her face.

"More importantly, how the hell do you have so many cheeky expressions in wolf form? You don't even have the same facial muscles!?" Daphne questioned in annoyance at Hope who was somehow able to snicker in her wolf form.

Daphne shook her head at Hope as she shifted just as smoothly into her cat Animagus form and shook out her short fur.

Hope's wolf head tilted questionly as she took in the white tiger in front of her which was nearly two times bigger than Hope's wolf but Hope trotted closer to the taller animal and came face to face with Daphne's icy eyes. Daphne looked somewhat nervous as her tiger but that emotion didn't stay on the tiger's face for long as Hope rubbed her head against both sides of the tiger's head before cuddling herself into Daphne's thick neck.

Daphne let out a rumbling growl and covered Hope's head with her own in gratitude and love, thanking Hope through her actions that she appreciated Hope's acceptance of her other Animagus form.

When they made their way back to where Hope stashed her clothes, Hope noticed some of the difference between Daphne's two forms. Both were great hunters, trackers and they were both overly beautiful in their own ways. Both are graceful, powerful, fast and affectionate. Daphne's wolf was faster and able to take corners smoother than her tiger, but Daphne's tiger is more powerful in her strides and more than likely will be better at knocking down an opponent than her wolf.

As Hope redressed herself for a second time on the same day, Hope called Myrddin and Alexandria to take them once they were ready.

They arrived back at the Flamel Cottage, Daphne greeted Hope's parents with a knowing grin. "Hi Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel."

Nic and Nelle froze suddenly and stared blankly at Daphne before looking at Hope.

"What? You told me I could drop hints." Hope defended with a grin.

Nic and Nelle groaned but Daphne decided to offer a shit-eating grin. "We also exchanged rings so we can wear them in public."

Both girls held up their left hands at Daphne's prompt, however when Nic and Nelle came forward to look over the rings, they gave their congratulations.

Daphne decided she was on a roll so she also offhandedly mentioned. "Oh and I also became an Animagus today… Hope thought I should give it a try so now I can transform safely into a blonde wolf and a white and black tiger."

Nicolas and Perenelle blinked, tried to speak before shutting their mouths and walking back into the house in disbelief.

Nic leaned towards his wife but forgot to lower his voice. "How the bloody hell do those two keep breaking all the rules that we know?"

Perenelle threw her hands up in exasperation. "I don't know. But I'm starting to think they are doing it on purpose to get a rise out of us."

The two adults came to a stop looking at one another before turning back to the two girls with shit-eating grins on their faces. Nic and Nelle turned back to each other with equally unimpressed looks.

"You are both assholes." The couple of 600 plus years stated at the same time before walking back into the house with two girls cackling loudly behind them.

Since the girls arrived back at Flamel Cottage around dinner time, Daphne joined them for dinner in which they discussed the future and Hope's plans. Hope re-explained to Nic and Nelle her plans on the Horcruxes.

Nic and Nelle agreed with Hope's assessment of how to deal with the Horcruxes and confirmed giving the Sword of Gryffindor back to the Goblins earlier would be a smart choice. Hope suggested to Daphne that she could offer the Sword early to the Goblins and in exchange, when Hope goes to her final training session with the Goblins next year, Daphne could join in with her training.

The blonde girl agreed after some consideration but only if the Goblins wouldn't be upset with her for intruding on their time with Hope's original deal. Hope reassured her Mate that there would be no issues with this as the Goblins are a trusted ally and friends of hers.

Perenelle asked Hope what she plans on doing next year at Hogwarts and if she plans on battling some Magical Creature of the year. That last comment earns a glare from everyone at the table.

Hope purses her lips at all the glares and scratches her head sheepishly before answering. "Well let's see, next year includes Sirius Black escaping Azkaban Prison, Dementors attacking the Hogwarts Express when looking for Black."

"Wait!" Perenelle exclaimed quickly, stopping Hope's run down for her oncoming 3rd year. "Okay, before you continue any further. During these holidays I'm teaching you both the Patronus charm. Understood?"

Daphne nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Hope agreed with Perenelle and Daphne. "Well that's good. I was going to learn the Patronus charm during these holidays."

"I'm sorry that I won't be able to help with this. The Patronus charm isn't something that I am able to produce." Nicolas replied sadly.

Hope scoffed at him. "You're not getting out of this dad. I've activated everyone's Magical Core in this room as well as Luna's. You all have more power now. Even if you can't feel the right emotion for the Patronus it won't matter. You could just overpower the spell and force it to work."

"That's going to be your answer to everything isn't it?" Daphne asked with an amused smile, teasing her Mate.

"'Don't worry. Your Magical Core has been unlocked. You can do more than the average Wizards and Witches in this universe.'"

Hope chuckled at Daphne's snarky taunt of herself. "Thanks, love."

But the time-traveller also shrugged in agreement. "But it's accurate. Hear these wise words spoken by my Mate."

"Smart-ass." The rest of the table remarked with unimpressed tones causing a fit of laughter from the Tribrid.

Hope filled in the rest for the school year for the Flamel's and Daphne. From Remus Lupin as the new DADA Professor and informing them that he is a Werewolf, Peter Pettigrew being Ron Weasley's pet rat. The showdown between Remus, Sirius and Peter at the end of the school year and Harry and Hermione's trip through time.

They asked what the plan was for this year to which Hope responded with honesty. "Aside from taking Daphne on some secret dates into Hogsmeade, I'm planning on hiding my Werewolf side from Lupin which will be a full time job. Thankfully Werewolves from this universe must shift on a full moon, so that should confuse the hell out of him. I'm not joining the Golden Trio or Duo at the end of the school year. No time travel for me. I'm good, thanks. I've already done enough time travel to last a lifetime."

Nicolas and Perenelle looked skeptically at Hope while Daphne stared meaningfully at Hope, threatening her. "If you're lying to me about this year, I'm going to freeze your cute little ass."

"Kinky." Hope replied with a wink. "3rd year will be quiet. I promise. I can't promise the same for 4th year."

Perenelle groaned when Nicolas moved to directly face Hope. "Talking about 4th year. Nelle and I have discussed what you've already mentioned to us about the Tri-Wizard Tournament. As much as we hate seeing you in danger, we think that you should enter the Tournament as the Hogwarts Champion. That way you're already saving one life and you're right in the middle of Voldemort's plan and can interfere as needed."

Hope thinks about the Tasks for a moment before stating. "That should be fun. I kinda already have plans for all of the Tasks. The Dragon should be simple. I mean I've already killed a Dragon in my universe… Just need to make sure I don't use the Death Spell again in the world. It would be horrifying if some Death Eater overheard that one."

Daphne's and Perenelle's jaws had dropped whereas Nicolas just shook his head.

"Of course. Why wouldn't you have already killed a Dragon?" He asked rhetorically with an expressionless face.

Hope shrugged with a smirk before continuing as if she hadn't shocked the room yet again. "2nd Task is freeing a hostage from underwater…"

Hope trailed off as she looked at Daphne with a frown.

"If I'm competing then my hostage would be you…" Hope's eyes glowed angrily and Hope growled deep in her throat.

Daphne leaned over and kissed the corner of Hope's eyes gently as Hope's Vampire veins had appeared from Hope's anger before they disappeared with the kiss, along with the golden eyes and Hope's growls. "Relax. You would never let anything happen to me. Besides, you could find me within a second using your magic."

Hope hummed contently and moved herself closer to Daphne and leaned her head on the Pureblood's shoulder. "3rd Task is a maze filled with delayed charms and Magical Creatures. Probably the easiest of the lot."
