I already have a series of oneshots going on as well but I just needed to post this story. The plot isn't exactly creative, but it's too fun not to work with. Anyways, school started for me so I'll probably update only once a week, if not then it'll be once every two weeks.
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. Revisions and Edits are still on going. This story is nowhere near finished.
"This is stupid. I can't believe gramps would just agree to a mission, volunteering us without permission. That old coot has another thing coming. I'm gonna burn his hair off once we get back to the guild."
Fairy Tail's strongest team, unofficially dubbed as Team Natsu, along with a few other Fairy Tail mages, Cana Alberona, Gajeel Redfox, Levy McGarden, Wendy Marvell, Charle, and Mirajane, were currently stranded in the center of a foreign train station. King's Cross Station, located in London, to be exact.
It was quite the strange spectacle. Nine strange people, yelling in a foreign language, were arguing with each other. To the people waiting for their train, it was almost amusing. The fact that there were two abnormal cats present, one blue and the other clothed, didn't help with the level of normality either.
"Oi! Platform 9 and three quarters? Like heck, that old man was pulling our leg!" complained Gray Fullbuster.
"I don't care either way or 'nother. As long as they got alcohol where we're going," Cana remarked as she sipped beer from her 'water bottle'.
"People are looking at us….what should we do," Wendy practically cried as she sensed eyes on her and her friends. The little blue haired girl wasn't exactly an attention seeker when it came to these things.
"Relax Wendy. They can't hurt us," Charle said nonchalantly, trying to calm down her young companion.
"Aye, sir."
"Master wouldn't be so devilish as to trick us when it comes to something like this," reminded Mirajane.
"I really don't like just standing here getting stared at by a bunch of random people. Look guys, you're even attracting the attention of insects. Who does that?" Lucy broke out.
"You're all freaking annoying," Gajeel gritted.
"There has to be an entrance to the magical world somewhere. I sense something, almost close to Fried's rune magic." The blue haired book lover, Levy exclaimed. Although it was a bit different from Fried's magic, it was magic she sensed all the same.
"I'm not sure about magic, but I smell something weird and it's coming from that direction," pointed out Natsu.
"Who would have thought that squinty eyes would have a use other than being annoying," Gray smirked.
Natsu turned to the ice mage, who unexpectedly managed to keep his clothes on in all the confusion. "You wanna go, droopy eyes?"
The mage in question gave Natsu a menacing glare and grabbed him by his scarf, ready to put a beating on him.
"We have no time for this you fools!" Erza managed as they could feel a dark aura from the back of them, this lead to the two boys suddenly hugging each other with sweat running down their faces.
"Aye!"
"Happy #2 makes his stage again," accused Lucy as she could only shake her head at the energy of her friends. She knew that with the people that were on this mission there would be a lot of chaos going on. She just didn't know that it'd happen in less than an hour….well okay, she knew that it'd happen soon but a girl can dream, right?
"We should all hurry because the train will leave us if not," Mirajane, bless her heart, broke the unnecessary chatter by reminding everyone of their situation. It was true, if they didn't hurry, the mission would be pretty difficult to complete if they weren't where they needed to be.
"She is right. Now Natsu, I can't believe I'm saying this, lead the way," the impatient Charle whispered quietly so no regular folk would see her, a cat, talking. Just to make sure, she followed up with a quick meow.
"Okay, okay. Follow me," Natsu reassured as he let his powerful nose lead them to wherever they were headed.
Later, rather than sooner, they made it to what seemed to be a regular looking brick wall. This sight led to a couple of things. One being the scolding of Natsu.
"I knew this idiot would screw it up eventually," Gajeel huffed under his breath. It was going to be one heck of a mission without Pantherlily by his side to cool him down, but sadly his companion somehow got injured on another quest and couldn't go.
"Natsu I swear, if we get in trouble for not completing this mission because of you, and I get banned from my alcohol, I'll cut you." Well you can probably guess who threatened with that. Yes, it was none other than the all-time drinker, Cana.
"Nice going squinty eyes. You lead us to a wall. What's gonna happen now? Are we just gonna walk through it?" teased Gray. With that, Gray absentmindedly stuck his hand out to 'walk through' the wall. That provided with an interesting situation as it actually did go through the wall. "W-WHAT? THE WALL ATE MY HAND!"
"Gray stop shouting, you are giving us unneeded attention, and just take back your hand," Levy replied, obviously about to cry at how useless her guild mates could be.
"Aye, sir," Happy randomly added.
Gray rapidly took his hand back with a frightened expression, as if the wall really did try to eat his hand. His comrades had the same expression on their faces, besides Charle, Happy and Levy.
"So that's what I was sensing. The magic that was placed on here seems to be similar to runes. I'm guessing only those with magical power may enter. For regular people it's just a regular solid brick wall," Levy explained, more so to herself than anyone else. "Nice work Natsu."
Natsu smirked at all those who doubted him. "I deserve an apology."
Gray scowled and suddenly pushed the fire dragon slayer towards the wall. He disappeared in a flash.
Natsu landed with a thud on the other side. For a few moments he was dizzy but he jumped back up ready to punch Gray all the way to Edolas. The only problem with that was that Gray was nowhere to be found. None of his nakama were with him.
"What's that kid doing?" "Is he a Hogwarts student?" "I've never seen him before." "What's up with his hair? It's pink!" Whispers were heard all around. Since Natsu couldn't speak English and was as clueless as a box he never would have thought that all the whispers were directed to him.
Without warning the rest of his nakama appeared one by one. He stood off to the side until one certain person appeared.
"Hey droopy eyes, you think you're funny!"
"Yes, I think I'm hilarious!"
"Both of you shut up."
"Aye!"
"There goes Happy #2 again."
"Can we at least get on the train before we start this up again?" Cana offered.
The rest of the crew agreed and slowly started taking in their surroundings. The terminal was crowded with many people, bidding farewell to each other. The train looked like it was getting ready to leave.
"Come on let's go. Everyone has their bags right?" Charle asked.
Once on the train, the mages tried to find an empty compartment for themselves. Luckily they found one at the very end of the train. They stuffed themselves inside and were ready to discuss things.
"So apparently gramps told one of you the details of the mission. Lay it on us," Gray sighed.
Mirajane nodded and began to explain. "Our mission: To protect Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now let me explain the part you're all wondering," she took a breath before continuing, "Master Makarov is friends with the current headmaster of this school. Apparently, in master's younger days, something went wrong on a mission and he was thrown into another world. He met a young boy, about his age, but there was a difference. The boy from that world seemed to have a certain brilliance that was not yet found in master's younger form. The boy taught him of his world and of the sort of magic that they had. Now master didn't go into detail at how he got back to our world but he did me-"
"Wait, wait. So basically what you're saying is tha-"
"Natsu don't interrupt Mira."
"Aye!"
"Happy #2….."
"It's alright Erza, I was basically done. Well you all get the drift. Our mission is to protect this school of its enemies and we are to make sure that the students are unharmed. We, ourselves, shall disguise ourselves as students," Mirajane finished.
"Does anyone know about us actually being guards, besides the headmaster himself?" asked Wendy.
"I'm not sure. That's something we'd have to ask the headmaster," answered Mirajane.
"Well there is something I'm more concerned about," Gajeel proclaimed confidently, "I'm sure none of us here know a lick of the language they speak here."
"Wow. Gajeel actually being useful for a change," voiced Cana.
"Shut it, drunkard."
"Well he does have a point there," Lucy gasped, also a little surprised that Gajeel had something useful to offer to the conversation.
"That's something master told me beforehand as well. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the train first before I addressed that. Here, all of you eat this," Mirajane offered, handing everyone a small black pill. "It should make it so we can talk and understand English. We can also still speak our native language of course. I'm not sure how master got a hold of it but I can tell he really wants us to do well on this mission."
Everyone gulped a pill down.
"Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3…UWOH IT WORKS!" Natsu sat there flabbergasted with a ridiculous look on his face. "THIS IS SO COOL!"
One by one the rest of them began to speak in the new language. Even the ever-so proper Charle couldn't help but utter out a gasp.
"Aye, sir!...wow it sounds the same in English!" Happy sat there saying useless things in english.
Charle rolled her eyes and sighed. "The he-cat is so simple minded."
"I'm getting out of here," Gajeel grimanced.
"Where are you going?" Gray interrogated. "Are you going to go take some little kid's candy?"
"No, I have to go pee."
"How delightful," Cana chuckled in between her beer inhaling.
The compartment was quiet for a while after Gajeel left. They all just waited for the train to leave, which it did eventually, and as we all know, our favorite fire-breathing idiot has a problem with transportation.
"U-uhuh…transportation. I'm gonna puke."
"Troia!" Wendy clasped her hands against the pink haired boy's ears as a white light could be seen surrounding them.
"Thanks Wendy!" Natsu thanked the youngest dragon slayer with a quick hug. Having Wendy heal him every time he got sick was something that he always appreciated. "I'd like to see you try and overpower me now, transportation!"
"Its no problem Natsu. But my spell will probably wear off before we get to the school, and I should only use it once a day on you, so I suggest you be ready for a sudden wave of sickness."
"Shut the heck up squinty eyes! You're too dang loud."
"Oh yeah! You want to fight droopy eyes?"
"If you start one more time, I swear on behalf of all that is strawberry, I will murder both of you."
"Aye!"
"Y-yes Erza, ma'am!"
"Happy #2 sure is coming out a lot today."
After that occurrence the compartment was calm again. The only noises you could hear were the sounds Cana made while drinking, the turning of pages from Levy, and the slight breathing noise that the sleeping Mirajane was making.
After a few minutes, Gajeel came into the compartment holding a truck load of candy. It was as large as the load that Romeo hauled in during Halloween.
"I ran into some lady selling candy and used some of the wizarding coins gramps gave me to buy a few snacks. Don't say I never did anything for ya."
He threw the pile of goodies on the floor for the hungry savages to take.
In between his munching, Gray smirked, "So you really were stealing candy."
"Tch, shut your face, or I'll shut it for ya, and like I said, I bought it."
"Sadly there is no strawberry cake…."
"E-Erza you sure do love your strawberry cake," Lucy noticed.
"Where have you been Luce? Strawberry cake is Erza's life," Natsu laughed softly, making sure he didn't choke on his candy.
"It's because Lucy is a narcissist who only pays attention to herself."
"Shut up stupid cat!"
"Gray, your clothes," Levy pointed out.
"Crap! When and where!"
"I really don't understand why he gets surprised every time it happens." Lucy carefully took one of the candies, not sure what to expect from the food that came from a different world.
"Like you get surprised every time there is a lot of uninvited people in your house, mainly Erza, Natsu, Happy, Gray, and recently Wendy, and Charle." Mirajane woke from her quick slumber and decided to take some candy as well.
"I guess you're right, Mira."
"Does anyone know about this school we're going to anyway?" Charle turned her head suspiciously to the others. She just got used to always being around these imbeciles and she had no plans of walking into a school full of more.
Levy raised her hand in the air for a moment. "The book, I'm reading is actually a book master decided to hand me. I just remembered I had it so I decided to read it now. This school sounds interesting already."
"So what is to be expected once we get there?" Erza asked.
"Well for one thing, and this will seemingly make our job a bit more difficult," Levy paused for a dramatic air, "apparently we'll be split up." Seeing as no one was interrupting her, she continued, "There are four houses in Hogwarts. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. I haven't gotten to the part where it says what the difference is, but it has something to do with your personality. The people in your house are like your family during the school year. A house is sort of like its own guild in a way."
"What stupid names."
"That's rude Gajeel." Levy looked at the iron dragon slayer in a scolding manor. At first he looked like he wanted to say something but he ended up keeping quite and looked out the window.
"She's got you whipped," snorted a sober Cana. Gajeel turned his head towards the alcoholic and gritted his teeth.
"You better watch your back, drunkard. I'm not above sabotaging your precious obsession."
"You wouldn't dare." Cana now had her precious 'water bottles' held up against her chest with an expression one would say reminded them of a child getting slapped in that face.
"Just wait," Gajeel threatened.
