Bloom Fairy Tail Winx AU

(A/N: I own nothing and what if instead of Erza or a FemNatsu Bloom was someone else? Bloom was Juvia and kept it hidden until a surprise challenge at Red Fountain during her Freshman year? AU OOC bashing and some femslash)
"Attention girls. The drawing of the names of the two combatants is now being done. Please remember that any of you can be chosen at random to fight a random Cloud Tower student. One your name is chosen there is no switching out and no redraws. You'll have a week to prepare yourself to fight your opponent, during which you will be exempt from class in order to practice your powers." Griselda said a month into the new school year and causing all the muttering to quiet as the saw a blindfolded Wizgiz reach into the box with all of their names on a slip of paper inside. He'd draw out one name, and only one, and then they'd discover from one of the Cloud Tower teachers who the witch champion would be.
Everyone seemed to be holding their breath as Wizgiz removed his hand with a single slip of paper clutched in it tightly, a slip of paper that was promptly taken from him by Palladium and handed to Faragonda. Faragonda looked at the slip of paper wide eyed for a moment before sighing and handing it to Griselda, who also looked at the paper wide eyed.
"Bloom Lockser." Griselda whispered causing everyones heads to snap towards the red haired freshman that never interacted with anyone outside her small group of friends. For good reason too since they were freaked out slightly about the fact that she spoke in third person all the time.
"Bloom Lockser! Please stand up here in your place as school champion." Griselda said louder and looking at the shocked red head. Bloom shakily stood up and walked towards her teachers numbly in shock while the whole school watched her silently.
"Well…this is something Bloom wasn't expecting when Bloom woke up this morning." Bloom said smiling weakly at Griselda who snorted in agreement while the other teachers were giving Bloom worried looks.
"Don't worry Ms. Bloom if you're lucky your opponent will be another freshman." Palladium said smiling at his favorite student reassuringly and looking surprised when Bloom walked over to the wall and banged her head on it.
"If that's the case professor Palladium…Bloom is screwed." Bloom said giving the elfin man a small pout and mock glare.
"What makes you say that Ms. Bloom?" DuFour asked worriedly while Bloom merely gave her a blank look.
"With Blooms luck, Madam DuFour, Bloom would end up going against one of the teachers." Bloom said bluntly and as if it was a queue Ediltrude telatransported in at that precise moment and gave Bloom a look of pity and sympathy.
"You, young lady, have horrible luck. You're fighting against a Senior Witch named Icy." Ediltrude said bluntly while pointing at Bloom with a single finger.
"Aw come on! She's worse than the teachers! At least they don't try to turn Bloom into a popsicle!" Bloom exclaimed in disbelief as she banged her head against the wall again.
"Horrible luck is right Ediltrude. Ms. Bloom is an earth raised freshman and she's going against one of your cruelest seniors… one that seems to be obsessed with her none the less." Faragonda said concerned and causing the witch to wince slightly in sympathy before jumping back when a blue blur flew where she had been.
"Bloom Lockser! You have a message!" A small and strange looking bird chirped as it headed straight for Bloom who held out a single finger for it to land on while it dropped the letter in her other hand.
"Bloom received letter from Master Makarov?" Bloom asked the bird with her head tilted to the side as she looked at who the letter was from. The bird merely nodded at her and looked around curiously before flying off again. Everyone watched the bird go before turning back to Bloom who was trailing her finger around the seal of the envelope, causing a few to jump when the image of a small old man appeared above the envelope.
"Hello Juvia…or should I be calling you Bloom right now? Oh well! Anyways we received your message about the whole champion fight thing and knowing your luck, which Lucy ever so kindly reminded us about, we figured you'd get picked to go against someone a lot stronger than you appear to be right now. Soooo since Fairy Tail doesn't tolerate getting our butts kicked without putting up a big fight I'm giving you permission to remove the limiters and use your full real powers! Me and a few others will be coming to watch the match, including Gray who wants you to 'make him proud'. See ya!" The hologram said grinning and holding a hand up in greeting to the red head who stared at the envelope in her hands frozen for a minute while everyone else was confused.
"Ms. Bloom?" DuFour asked cautiously, worried about how frozen and shocked her mysterious student was over this message. This seemed to break Bloom out of her trance as a seal appeared on her exposed neck in the shape of Fairy Tails guild mark, not that anyone else recognized it that is well except Flora who shared a room with Bloom.
"That's the same symbol as Bloom's tattoo!" Flora said blinking at the sight of the glowing symbol on the girls neck while the others blinked, Bloom had a tattoo? The symbol glowed for a minute longer before it dissolved into tiny particles that flew into the air and vanished while Blooms appearance changed. Instead of long bright red hair and eternally confused light cyan blue eyes wearing a tank top and Capri's…Bloom now had short cropped dark blue hair, near emotionless dark blue eyes and was wearing a dark blue hat on her head with two white sides on it folded up to look like a guard and a strange blue mark on it as well as having a pair of knee high boots with blue trimmings and wearing a modest thigh length blue and white dress. Just at her collar there was a medal like pendant with a dark blue Fairy Tail stamp on a lighter blue background.
"Master Makarov is coming to watch Juvia's fight…and is bringing GRAY-SAMA!? Juvia must begin training at once!" Juvia said eyes wide as she rushed from the room to begin training for her fight. Everyone blinked at the sudden change in appearance and departure of the mysterious girl. Griselda was the one to ask the question on everyones mind.
"What just happened?"
