DISCLAIMER: Fairy Tail is an anime and Harry Potter is a book. There are many inside jokes that individuals will not understand if they don't know either of the two series. None of the characters are mine. I just came up with the story line. The Fairy Tail characters are property of Hiro Mashima. The Harry Potter characters are property of JK Rowling.

The train ride went on. Wendy's spell wore off of Natsu and he eventually returned to a small sulking little ball of ill. Cana finally showed the signs of becoming the tiniest bit drunk, while Lucy and Erza had small talk (somewhere in between, Erza knocked Natsu out. It was for his own good). Gajeel was scolded by Levy for trying to eat the train's metal, and Mirajane and Happy had the strangest conversation about how to fry fish. Gray spent most of his time looking for his clothes because once he got them on he just ended up taking them off. Wendy had a nice time reading the books that Levy handed her on the way there. Charle just stared at everyone, wondering how and why she got herself mixed up with these people…oh yeah, it's because Wendy considers them her friends.

A few minutes before they got to the school, they all got into the robes that Makarov told them to change into before they stepped out the train. Gray wasn't sure why he even bothered because he knew he'd just end up taking it off without noticing.

"How'd Natsu even get dressed in his current state?" Lucy started to poke and prod Natsu, wondering how the robe just poofed on him while said mage looked like he died.

"I dislike this clothing. I'm unable to wear my armor under it."

"You have your requipping abilities so if we're in danger, you can be in your armor at any time," Lucy said, patting the overdramatic Titania who was having a silent fit.

"Levy you look great in it," complimented Cana as she wrapped her arms around the short blue haired girl. "Honestly, those robes look natural on you."

"Thank you Cana, but what about your robes?"

What Levy pointed out was something everyone else saw as well, but didn't care to ask. The ending of Cana's robe ended later than everyone else's, it honestly looked like she'd trip with just one step. Besides that, she was showing a lot more chest than the other girls.

"I never thought I'd live to see the day when Lucy looks more modest than someone else."

"You really want to die don't you, you stupid cat?"

"I wouldn't mind if you killed him," Charle thought out aloud.

"So you do care about me," Happy proclaimed ignorantly.

"No, you've got it all wrong, he-cat."

"These robes are hideous. Why would anyone want to wear them anyways?" Gajeel could only look at them in disgust. The robes gave him a feeling as if he were lacking freedom. That thought urked him. The brilliant iron eater then came up with one of his most brilliant idea.

"Gajeel what are you doing," Mirajane asked.

"The old man said we had to wear them. He never said we couldn't customize them a bit. Plus, if drunkard here gets to have her boobs practically hanging out that robe, who's to say I can't show a little arms?"

Gajeel beheld his genius as he stretched out his now exposed arms. He tossed the ripped cloth at Natsu, who really did look like he was on the verge of death.

"It's usewabless….twansporwtation…gonwa puwook," the half dead mage finally uttered out.

"Would you like me to knock you out again," Erza suggested, apparently over her earlier crisis. She didn't wait for him to respond, a distinct cracking sound was heard, and in no time he was yet again unconscious on the floor.

"REDEMPTION! TRY AND TAKE ME DOWN NOW, TRANSPORTATION!"

"Shut up hot head."

"We've gone over this more than enough and I'm sure you know what I'll do to you if you two don't stop."

"Aye!"

"This is getting overrated and overexposed." Lucy shook her head at the all too familiar scene taking place in front of her.

As the last ones to get off of the train, and they sure did take a long time to get off, the Fairy Tail mages were free to make as much chaos as they wanted for now. That simple way of looking at the situation was just how they lived.

"You guys do know that the rest of the students are long gone to where they are supposed to be, right?" Leave it to Levi to be the voice of reason among them.

"Forget about the students, look at the size of that castle! It's larger than Lucy's house!" Leave it to Natsu to compare a full sized castle to his friend's modest home. It was true though. The castle was humongous and breathtaking.

"Why are you comparing my home to a castle that size? Are you mental!" Leave it to Lucy to say something about it.

"I hope they have fish there." Leave it to Happy to say something irrelevant to the topic at hand.

"I presume you're guards that Albus sent for?"

The sudden unfamiliar voice left them aghast as they all looked to where it was coming from. A silhouette of a woman could be seen in the darkness of the night.

"Please hurry. We don't have all night." The voice was stern and strict. Even the bigheaded Charle couldn't help but amend to it without a second thought. She and the rest of the gang hurriedly made their way to the unnamed figure.

Once close enough they could see that the owner of the voice was an old woman. If the mages didn't know any better, they would've thought that Porlyusica somehow ambled herself into this world.

"Talking can wait. For now let's just head to the castle."

Even though this woman was on their side, the Fairy Tail mages couldn't help but keep their distance with the woman. It was the first official time that they met and talked to a person from this world, and if that wasn't enough, she seemed suspiciously unfriendly.

"Pst, Luce, doesn't this lady remind you of someone," whispered Natsu as he got closer to Lucy.

"You mean Master Makarov's pink haired friend? Yeah she does, but I think she's even scarier."

"I'd appreciate it if the select few of you weren't so rude enough to talk about someone behind their back, especially if they are only a few feet in front of you."

A shiver ran through the whole team as they could only stay silent and obey the old woman. Lucy and Natsu especially were a little bit more than just creeped out.

"A carriage was saved for you all. If you'd please board."

Natsu wanted so badly but to disobey and just fly to the castle. The back to back transportation scared him more than the vision of Elfman wearing tights and a bra. Knowing what was gong through his mind, Mirajane patted his shoulder lightly and coaxed him into the carriage.

Once the unnamed woman, the last to get in sat next to a mourning, Natsu, she was asked a question by Erza.

"What's that creature pulling the carriage?"

An already carriage sick Natsu added, "Iwt smwells."

"These creatures are called Thestrals. They are perfectly safe so no one has to worry about being attacked by one of them."

The rest of them looked at the intimidating horse thoughtfully.

The ride was quiet for the most part. Erza knocked Natsu out like she always does, and surprisingly the old woman didn't give them a second glance.

Once he was dragged out the carriage, by Lucy and Happy, Natsu rejoiced for being able to stand on the solid ground once again.

"REDEMPT-" He was cut off by Erza's warning glare.

"I'll bring you to our Headmaster, until then do not disrupt anything with your loudness."

The trip to their employer was quiet and quick. They were all pretty much half asleep once they somehow made it to his door. It has been a long day and right now all they really wanted to do was go to bed, even the forever energetic Natsu was looking forward to sleeping in a bed.

"Albus, here they are."

Fairy Tail looked up and noticed an even older man sitting at a desk. Without wasting time they bowed to their supposed employer. Fairy Tail wasn't the most polite guild in Fiore, but they did know when to be obnoxious and when to keep quiet and be professional.

"No need to bow children. Rise up, rise up."

The mages lifted their heads and put on their poker faces. Honestly, what was going through their head's was anything but professional.

Dang, he looks older than gramps. I wonder how long it'd take me to burn his beard completely off.

Don't strip, don't strip, don't trip!

Fish would sound good right about now

Gray better not strip, or I'll have his head.

Erza looks like she's glaring at Gray. If he knows what's good for him, he better not strip….I'm getting tired of Happy #2 today.

I wonder if I could somehow help Natsu get rid of his transportation sickness permanently.

There better be loads of iron in this dump.

Would it be weird to ask if they had karaoke here?

Alcohol.

I think I saw a library on the way here. I can't wait to read all the books it has.

Imbeciles. I hope they pay attention.

"I'm glad to see you've made it. McGonagall, you may go down to the great hall for now. Thank you for bringing our guests up to me," the old man began. The old woman, now known as McGonagall, nodded and retreated the room. " I'm afraid we have no time to dilly-dally, but you'd probably want me to officially give you your mission, am I correct?" The mages stayed quietly. "My name is Albus Dumbledore and as you know, I'm friends with your guild master. He said he would send his most trusted mages so I have complete and utter faith in you."

Dumbledore took a break and observed each and everyone one of them. His eyes had a certain twinkle to them. In a way it lead the mages to feel a bit at home. The old man's young eyes reminded them of their very own immature master.

"Your mission is to protect this school and it's students with your lives. An old powerful wizard has come back to life. Lord Voldemort. With his rising in power our students are in more danger than ever. It's to be believed that he has aimed his goals at students of this school in the past," once again he took a break and observed the mages with his twinkling eyes. "There are three certain students that I'd hope you'd keep more of an eye on. For some reason they seem to always find trouble."

The requested guards kept quiet and made sure to pay attention to every single detail. They were obnoxious, yes, but they were also dedicated to what they do.

"Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. You'll be in the same year as these three and I would like for you to pay close attention to them. They're rule breakers but targets of the dark lord no less," her chuckled at all of their serious expressions. "They are all from the house Gryffindor." He clapped his hands and smiled at them all. "I'd just also like you to know that all your school supplies will be provided for you. I'm afraid that you should not use your regular magical powers and resort to our wand magic. I should have told your master earlier so you could have practiced. And now that we have the briefing out the way, I'd say it's about time we make our way to the great hall for the feast."

"Excuse me sir, it wouldn't be rude to ask how many people here know of our true identity?" Mirajane questioned the man.

"Oh, not rude at all my dear. I should have told you that to begin with. As you know our very own professional McGonagall knows about your status. There are also a select few of my trusted friends who know about you, but really, you need not worry. Most of the staff and the school will know you as the foreign students who will be joining us for the school year," Dumbledore got up, seemingly ready to lead them down to the great hall, "and while we are talking a bit more, I'd liked to request for you not to draw attention to yourself. We have a guest joining us this year as well and I'm afraid our school could get in trouble if this person realizes that you're not who you seem to be."

"We may seem immature but we're good at what we do. You don't have to worry, sir," Levy said as she gave a reassuring smile.

"Good, good. If you'd also quickly give me all your names, I'd love to get to know you all better, the children of my good friend."

They all nodded and introduced themselves one after the other.

"Natsu Dragneel, nice to meet ya gramps."

"Gray Fullbuster, yo."

"Happy the magnificent."

"Wendy Marvell, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Charle, at your service."

"Lucy Heartfillia, uh…nice to meet you."

"Erza Scarlet, I shall complete this mission even if I have to throw my life away."

"Levy McGarden, the pleasure is all mine."

"Cana Alberona, hey."

"Mirajane, nice to meet you."

"Gajeel Redfox."

Albus couldn't help but smile at the children's different ways of introducing themselves. He could tell that they were close to Makarov, an oddball himself.

"Well now, shall we be going then?"
