Michikatsu Tsugikuni: Hogwarts AU

Michikatsu Tsugikuni was a Pureblood wizard that was born on the 21st of June 1512 and started attending Hogwarts on the 1st of September 1523, being sorted into Slytherin House.

He had a Blackthorn wand with a Dragon Heartstring core.

His Patronus was non-corporeal.

His favorite subject was Defense Against the Dark Arts and his least favorite subject was Herbology.

He was one of the Slytherin Prefects of his year.

Kokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving tranquility and mystery that complements his position as one of the strongest vampires in the UK. He rarely speaks; when he does, he talks in a slow and emphatic manner that gives more gravitas and authority to his words. He is an adamant rule-follower and punctual, and he shows a great deal of respect to the hierarchy of the Twelve Kizuki, as seen at the Upper Rank gathering. Kokushibo is shown to be humble as well, and he did not hesitate to admit his failure or complain of any difficulty.

He demonstrates unwavering loyalty towards Muzan Kibutsuji (the Vampire King) as he carries out his actions solely to fulfill Muzan's objectives. Despite his outward display of reservation, dignity, and humility, there exists a cold and unforgiving side to his personality. When reprimanding individuals, his words can be harsh, bordering on cruelty. His threats are severe and demand absolute obedience.

Kokushibo is shown to be genuinely delighted when the opponents he faced challenged him, such as helping dress his descendent Muichiro Tokito's amputated hand over his talented duelingship, praising Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa for their unparalleled human abilities, and sparing Akaza because he enjoyed the challenge of dueling him. It is also worth noting that the only time the demon visibly smiled was when he examined the blind half-giant's impeccably strong physique, in genuine awe at his strength and showing excitement at the prospect of facing a warrior of extremely high caliber. However, due to this selective respect for those he considered worthy, he also felt irritation after he realized Akaza had died by suicide, and he pities Gyomei for his impending death from a blood-curse.

Having abandoned his humanity in the pursuit of strength, he shows a scornful view on humans. He mocks Gyomei for expressing indifference at his blood-curse, believing his rejection of his fate was a foolish notion, and he later taunts him and Sanemi when they rip off his kimono in an attempt to attack him, deriding their efforts as "not even enough to kill an infant". He also shows no tolerance for Genya Shinazugawa's Lycanthrophy, calling the boy a "filthy half-breed" that he could not let live. He shows something of warmth towards his descendant, Muichiro, commending his skills and resolve and being moved to offer Muichiro a chance to become a vampire. When their battle comes to an end, Kokushibo displays his regret at having struck down his descendants. At the same time, he refers to Muichiro and his abilities as the natural result of his "cells" being passed down.

Throughout his life, Kokushibo was shown to be a man that greatly valued the concept of legacy. As a human, he told his brother that since there were no skilled warriors comparable to them, their dueling techniques would disappear without successors, before becoming irritated at Yoriichi's optimistic indifference. When he realized that he was going to die before reaching the age of 25 and grew worried that he was without a future, he accepted Muzan's offer to become a vampire to further perfect his techniques. Even as a vampire, this is shown when he is pleased that his lineage lived on through Muichiro, and he tells Gyomei that his body and techniques would go to waste because of his blood-curse in an attempt to accept becoming a vampire. Additionally, in his clash against him, the vampire's banter suggests that he fears death; when Gyomei's marks appear, Kokushibo preemptively bemoans the loss of a talented fighter, and he urges him to become a vampire to continue honing his skills. He seemed surprised when Gyomei vehemently rejected his offer and called his mentality pathetic.

He possesses a complex relationship with his human past. It is revealed that, as a human, Kokushibo, then Michikatsu pitied Yoriichi during the period of time when the boy was mute. He gifted him a flute to use when he needed his brother, and smiled at him despite being bruised from his father's beatings. However, he later harbored an immense sense of envy towards his younger twin brother for his natural talent and incredible abilities. These feelings of jealousy and contempt only became stronger upon seeing his brother become a peerless warrior of unmatched caliber among even the aurors, with none of them coming close to his level of strength.

This fostered a drive to become as strong or surpass his brother, a sentiment so strong that he abandoned his family to pursue becoming an auror. His envy peaks when he discovers that Yoriichi is still alive and in old age. Even centuries later, Yoriichi's immunity to their family curse haunted Kokushibo, and the usually phlegmatic vampire would become rattled when Gyomei inadvertently reminded him of Yoriichii by mentioning that he had lied about the curse having no exceptions.

However, despite this immense jealousy, spite, and outright hatred he harbors for Yoriichi, he still deeply cares for his brother, as seen when he was touched by Yoriichi treasuring the handmade flute he had made for him as a child; Kokushibo sheds tears over his brother's death and even goes as far as keeping the flute itself for the following centuries as a memento.

Kokushibo's fear of defeat stems from his inferiority complex and desire for strength. This fear causes him to become increasingly aggressive and desperate in battle, relying on his magic, and even killing and dismembering Muichiro despite his earlier to desire to turn him into a vampire. However, as he faces off against the members of the Werewolf Capture Unit, Kokushibo realizes the heavy cost of his pursuit of strength. He becomes a grotesque monster, far from his idealized vision of becoming the strongest wizard like his brother, highlighting how his ambitions and resentment have twisted him.

In his final moments, he is filled with regret, sorrow, and rage, lamenting his life choices. He questions if the path he chose was truly the right one. He realized that his desire for a legacy had been for naught and he had ended up accomplishing nothing in his centuries of existence. As he dies, Kokushibo angrily asks his deceased brother why he was even born, expressing his frustration at not achieving his desires.

There is evidence that not only English men, but women, also valued Christine's works. Susan Groag Bell has shown that Elizabeth I and her brother Edward VI each inherited a set of tapestries entitled 'The Cite of Ladies' from their father. Elizabeth was fluent in French and she had access to Christine's manuscripts in the royal library; in addition, Brian Anslay, the English translator of the City of Ladies, served at Henry VIII's court; after Catherine's fall, Anslay remained in service to the new queen, Anne Boleyn, who would have been interested in the City of Ladies because of her years in France and her interest in French literature.

Hello :)

I am looking for an eight year fic.

Draco is angry at Harry and Harry doesnt know why. Later Draco says to Harry that it is cruel of him to give him his wand back, because he cant use it. Harry didnt know that.I think he says something like: why don’t you bend me over. (Sarcastically)

Thats all I know, and the fic was rated mature or NC-17.

Thank you :)
