Crocus School of Wizardry
Disclaimer: I own no one except for Laxus' exceed Mjolnir. This story is basically how I would imagine things if Fairy Tail was like Hogwarts from Harry Potter. So if your a big dork Harry Potter and Fairy Tail fan like me I hope you love it. My rating is just to be on the safe side for language and anything else I might decide to throw in.
Prologue:
Once along time ago it was said there were two amazing wizards both young in age but extremely powerful. Mavis Vermilion was a petit young woman with hair as golden as the sun and meadow green eyes who had grown up alone on the island of Tenrou. She never knew how she came to be on the island yet never cared either for she lived happily and in peace with the animals until one day a young man washed up on the shore. He was tall with hair as black as night and eyes of blood red she watched him for days from the trees and noticed like her he could preform magic. Yet his magic was different while Mavis' magic was controllable it consisted of light and had the ability to protect life his was chaotic, dark, and could cause only death. In spite of this Mavis became his friend learning his name to be Zeref Tartarus. He told her how he was cast out from his home for his wild magic. Mavis decided to teach him control and eventually fell in love with the young wizard. Soon Zeref found with Mavis' help he could not only control his magic but use it as well. He could create creatures but the creatures he created frightened Mavis and she begged him never to again which he agreed. Soon though Zeref came up with an idea which he shared with Mavis surely they're were other wizards who were in hiding in his homeland. Wizards who also didn't know how to control their magic and needed to learn. This idea saddened young Mavis so she agreed to leave the Island and journey to the budding kingdom of Fiore Zeref's homeland to teach those of their kind control.
Fiore was like a whole other world to Mavis so many things and people she had never seen but it was all fascinating. She grew to love it as together her and Zeref travelled proving to all they met his new found control which brought other wizards forward wanting to learn. Before long to many people were writing to the two begging them to come to teach it was hard to keep up with all the request. So Zeref suggested they settle in a town and start biding the students come to them which Mavis readily agreed. So they chose the town of Magnolia and with the jewel they had earned from their travels they built a school which they named Crocus. Over the years as more and more students came the building grew. It became clear to Mavis that they would need more to teach so she sent word to former pupils begging them to help and she would pay them a fee yet only two agreed. So a system was created they would make four guilds and using a magic stamp that could read the hearts of the students it would place them accordingly. The names for the guilds chosen were Fairy Tail, Saber Tooth, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale. This was how the most amazing and powerful school was created many other kingdoms followed example but no other school ever came close to the fame of Crocus.
For a long time Mavis was happy but things were not as wonderful as they seemed. For while Mavis grew happy and content Zeref grew angry and disgusted. He started to see the people who came for learning as greedy and power hungry. He thought the other kingdoms petty and jealous fools who could not think for themselves. The darkness of his magic grew in his hatred and he became corrupted starting once more to create the demons and spells he had sworn never to touch again. Yet it wasn't until his creation of the wizard turned dragon Acnologia that Mavis became aware of his downfall breaking the poor young woman's heart. Not wanting her love to be corrupted even further she did the unthinkable she betrayed him placing a curse upon him. Locking him within his mind and stealing his memories from him of all he knew of her and the school. She sent him away forever lost until someone could come who could destroy him where she could not. Along with his exile most of his creations, Mavis also tried to seal away almost succeeding until she came up against Acnologia. Try as she might her magic of love and life was no match for this vile creature of death and destruction could not be stopped. So Mavis lost her life and the whole realm of Earthland mourned her. Wizards, Animals, even Dragons felt the loss and traveled a long way to Tenrou Island to bury this great wizard on her homeland.
It was said after this wars broke out, Wizards wanted to blame Dragons while Dragons blamed Wizards. Some of Zerefs creations were used and released to try and gain an edge in battle. The wars had grown so bad that Crocus was almost destroyed and in the middle of it all thriving in the horror he had created was Acnologia. It was four great dragons who noticed this Igneel King of the Flame Dragons, Metalicana Lord of the Iron Dragons, Grandeeney Queen of the Sky Dragons, and Zirconis Emperor of the Jade Dragons. They new they had to stop this for Mavis wouldn't want this so they made a treaty with the Wizards they would teach a select few they found worthy they're magic if the Wizards would seize fire. The Wizards agreed allowing young children to be adopted by the great creatures and soon Acnologia grew bored and disappeared yet the great four knew he was still out there and one day they would have to hunt him down but for now they lived in peace. The kingdom once more thrived where villiages became towns and towns became cities. Magic was soon as common place as breathing and walking. Though some spells and ancient magic's where lost forever through time and forgotten or became legend. Yet Crocus stands tall always with it's doors open welcoming the next generation to learn within it's walls. That my dear friends is where our story truly begins with a young female wizard who is nervously approaching on her very first day.
