Prologue:
Five Years Ago
Lucy walked up to the sorting hat, feeling the eyes of every wizard in the room targeted on her. Placing the crinkly hat on top of her head, she waited for it to decide which house she'd reside in for the next seven years. Without any hesitation, the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR" giving Lucy a jump scare. Immediately, she took it off and ran towards the Gryffindor table joining Natsu and all the other wizards who were in the house known for its bravery and courage.
"Yes! We got Lucy! We got Lucy!" Natsu cheered, pulling her next to him. Gray, being shirtless already, was smiling yet not showing too much excitement. Lucy felt so happy at this moment, finally after spending years wandering alone in her father's mansion she was going to have a real home with friends who cared for her and she felt determined to become a celestial spirit mage just like her mother once was.
Thinking about her Mom brought sadness upon her, with her death and all…
"Why ya looking so glum?" Natsu poked at her. She snapped out of her daze,
"Oh nothing, I really couldn't be happier."
Chapter One:
Present Day (Lucy's 6th year)
Lucy kept hearing rumors of a water mage transferring to Hogwarts any day now. Apparently, the rumors were coming true as she asked why Levy, her roommate, was rearranging their room.
"Oh I'm just trying to tidy up this place in case the new girl Juvia joins Gryffindor. She's going to be sorted tomorrow night." Levy responded, gathering up all of her books scattered across the room. Wendy started to help her pick up as Lucy sat at her desk, trying to complete her homework.
"How about I ask Virgo to help organize?" Lucy suggested.
"Well I don't want to cause you too much trouble…" Wendy muttered. She was such a sweet first year, always putting other people before herself.
Lucy laughed, "Its fine. Open, gate of the Virgin, Virgo!" she heard the usual chime that went along with summoning her spirits. The maid appeared before them slighting bowing to Lucy.
"You summoned me princess?" Virgo asked. Before she could go on asking her 'princess' to punish her (don't ask, Lucy had no idea why most of her spirts were so strange), Lucy requested her to help clean up their room. Within a matter of minutes, the entire room was spotless and after six years of being here, Lucy wondered why she never summoned Virgo to help clean before. Then again, she didn't want to turn into a celestial mage who used her spirits for her own self-gain. She saw all of her spirits as her friends, not slaves like how other celestial spirit wizards treated their spirits.
After hours of cranking on homework, she finally got it all done and decided to end the night there. As she crawled into bed Levy whispered to her, "Lu?"
"Yeah?" She's still up? Lucy wondered.
"Why do you think we're getting a transfer student so suddenly?" It was pretty strange, seeing that in all six of her years here they never saw a foreign mage come in the middle of the year.
"I don't really know. It is weird, I just hope the school doesn't start spreading rumors about her, assuming that she's a good person. But knowing Sting and his crew, I doubt they'll be nice to her, even if she's in Slytherin with them." Lucy commented.
Levy sighed, "Yeah, you're probably right, I just hope they don't pick on her constantly like they do to the rest of us."
"Ugh, I hate those guys." Lucy replied, "Well I'd love to go on rant about them, but it's already late and I'll need some sleep to keep up with Natsu, so I'll see you tomorrow." She turned her body towards the wall filled with photos of all her years here at Hogwarts.
"Good point. Night Lu!" Lucy told her the same as she drifted off, glancing at all of her precious photos on the wall like she did every night.
