Author's Note: As you might have noticed, I am using the Disney Fairies portrayal of Tinkerbell, i.e the minature MacGvyer, rather than any portrayal from Peter Pan materials, because she is the portrayal of Tink I need for a fairy who'd be sat on Lily's shoulder suggesting some way to make something that is outside the box. Meanwhile, I will state that the nature of Pandora Lovegood's rescue is basically that Periwinkle slowed down the commonly accepted out-of-control potion reaction by freezing it, before getting her to the Outlook to deal with what injuries she did get.

Concerning the nature of the Outlook, Due to how the Fairies refer to Neverland, at least, as the 'mainland' in Disney Fairies, I am going with the assumption that the Seasonal Lands of Pixie Hollow and it's surrounding areas are not in Neverland itself. Sometime prior to HP and Tinkerbell beginning, a particularly violent, but bloodless, feud between what factions remained after Peter left caused the fairy territory to be effectively removed from Neverland.

This unintentionally saved it from what occurred as a result of both Peter Pan and James Hook ceasing to exist as they should at the same time. Basics are 'Neverland won't appear in this story, as it was, but I need to have Pixie Hollow and it's lands appear'. Enough said. And, before anyone asks, The use of the name 'Percy Jackson' is a complete and utter accident by Snape. Even if it's such an appropriate false name for Harry. The book wasn't out then.

Out of universe, I had barely any knowledge of the franchise when I thought of it. And no, I don't plan to have much knowledge of it going forward. I will state also that the Mural is not intentionally based on how the Smash Ultimate Mural works as more and more is released, but yes, it will take on a similar habit. And it will not just depict fairies, but anyone of Neverland...

Chapter 4: Two Sides, Two Agendas

For the rest of their shopping trip, Hermione's parents and Minerva were told that, for specific reasons, not to join in as Harry, Hermione and Gwen were given near matching outfits, with Hermione and Gwen told to adopt an air of callous indifference, before they went back to their shopping. Use of words like 'Now' and 'Urgently' replaced such courtesies as 'Please' and 'could you kindly'…

...And the two girls were shocked by how much the customer service discreetly improved by them being absolutely wretched towards the staff, suddenly realising quite why Harry was being so dismissive and downright insulting of the Boy Who Lived books, other than the fact the knowledge he grew up muggle with a fairy his long time companion was nowhere in them.

As they headed off to meet back up with Minerva, they passed by Severus, who was still talking about very dry and boring politics with Lucius Malfoy, not even getting a second look, with only Severus looking his way at all.

"Why, Lucius, Let me get you a drink in the Leaky Cauldron..." Severus declared, Lucius following him out of the alley. An hour later, with all but their wands, which Olivander said were 'not in stock', Harry detached from Hermione and Gwen, to meet with Lucius and Severus at the inn, having agreed to meet with Minerva shortly.

"My my my..." Lucius had said as he approached, "Doesn't time fly?"

"So do wizards, but I will not be able to waive the restriction for your son." Severus drawled, "I just got a missive from Minerva while you were getting the drinks. She just finished doing Harry Potter's shopping, and expects him to be one of her lions."

"Damn, how did I miss him?" He cursed, "Try to make sure he sees the error of his ways, We need that boy."

Once he'd left, Snape let off a dry chuckle. "Yes, you really like your boys. Rumor has it that he's gay." He offered, "Anyway, Here."

He took out a slender box, Harry opening it to find it was a wand.

"You'll not find the wood in this world, and the core is a phoenix tail feather. Only core that seemed to result in a stable wand against your magical core, due to the taint on it," He explained, "Will be doing a second wand when we get rid of that curse scar with Ms. Bell, since your mother used the same wood with a pixie wing fragment core. And, unlike a certain misadventure, Ms. Bell didn't almost lose her wing donating it."

"Ahem. I guess my sister told me about that incident one winter… For now, you can tell Severus about the fact you bought those two muggleborns portable libraries," Tinkerbell exclaimed, Snape raising an eyebrow. He really had been talking too long.

Hermione and Gwen didn't know why they were told to stay behind by Minerva, their parents having gone to do some more mundane tasks across the road, Harry coming in earlier with a raven on his shoulder, which hopped off, turning into the man he'd been associating with, who cast a spell on him, causing all the silver and green to melt away, as his appearance shifted as he took out a pair of glasses.

"Oh my," Minerva declared, "Very clever, Severus. Ms. Granger and Ms. Granger, I wish for you to meet Harry Potter."

"We already met," Hermione stated, "He was giving grief to the Boy Who Lived books for plagarism and defamation... We barely figured out he was Harry,"

"Yes, there are a lot of mistakes in them, aren't there?" A new voice stated, everyone looking to see a brown-haired fairy in a pink-trimmed toga float down, "Gwen, my name is Lyria. I hope we can continue to collaborate."

Hermione was then surprised by a red-haired fairy jumped down, a pair of what were clearly steampunk-inspired goggles on her head, her outfit similarly styled.

"The name's Zarina… I'm fond of experimenting, and getting into scrapes… Should have been a dust-keeper fairy, but I pretty much now hang around with the tinker fairies nowadays, since there's not yet such a thing as Inventor Fairies," She offered, "If you will accept my counsel, Ms. Granger, I'm sure that you will learn the value of taking chances and making mistakes..."

"Is your last name Frizzle?" Gwen asked, for Zarina and Lyria to chuckle at the unintentional joke.

"If you want to use it, sure..." Zarina decided, "I'm not going to argue..."

"We accept your offer," Both Grangers stated, for there to be a flash, and what seemed to be a pair of book-ends appeared, one showing Lyria quietly reading a book, the other showing Zarina with a sketchpad, depicting some kind of blueprints, a book in her lap that she was clearly consulting, showing the girls that their fairies both had their own approaches to books, Lyria wanting to sit quietly and read, while Zarina used them as outlines for whatever she was doing.

"Those book-ends will be useful to you when you next visit GOSH. I wonder if the mural will update to show them..." He mused, before taking out a statue of Tink, "Peri, Can you check the mural?"

"It's gained a tree, Zarina sat in the branches, doing something typical of her, while Lyria is sat underneath trying to read a book..." A voice stated out of the statue, "Will be interesting when you find more wizards and witches accepting of fairies… Might even be a proper mural..."

He then put away the statue, as Lyria and Zarina were helped into the book bag harnesses.

"My name is Severus Snape, but, If you ever encounter a Mr. Lupin, he knew me very well as Nevermore." Severus drawled, before, in explanation, "Never more would I belittle those who were mundane-born. I am a half-blood, and I was reminded of that. I may wear a dark mark, the mark of a particularly vile wizard, but..."

He pulled up his arm, grasping part of the skin under an odd looking tattoo he had there, the skin peeling away to show it was a very well disguised sheet of fake skin.

"I wish to thank Wildcat… Mr Potter might know her better as his mother... for that idea," Severus declared, "I've not actually worn the dark mark for over a decade. I only wish that there hadn't been a mole in the Department of Mysteries, or the prophecy would have gone undeclared even with Dumbledore's theatrics..."

He then folded up the piece of skin with the tattoo, placing it in a normal muggle wallet, before looking at the two girls.

"Now, let me check your book sets, I need to double check Dumbledore hasn't been stunting the magic growth of the next generation again," Snape stated, accepting the official lists before sighing, before he added, "He clearly still isn't listening. Now that's done with, we'll discuss a few things, and sort out some things that clearly Dumbledore won't..."

Jean and Jane Granger met up with Hermione and Gwen after they came out of Diagon Alley, shortly before they needed to head home for their evening meal.

"A nice man helped us with the rest of our shopping, Mum." Gwen explained as they got into the car, "We had to wear these ugly green and black outfits, and act like when we were five, but it meant no-one gave us funny looks."

"The magical world seems to work to a caste system, and you're not even rated as worthy of magic within it according to a large amount of them..." Lyria stated, waving to her parents, "Me and Zarina entered fellowship with your daughters. Gwen questions everything, so I will always be there to give her an answer, while Hermione needs to learn how much good being unpredictable and free-thinking can be, so Zarina will be there to suggest alternatives to what is suggested,"

"Still don't know who Peri might be..." Hermione mused, "I've read all the Peter Pan books, and there's no-one named Peri..."

"But that doesn't mean there isn't someone named Peri," Zarina offered from her perch, "Does the book mention either of us..."

"Good point, Good point..." Hermione offered, "Most likely a sister, since Tink seemed very familiar with her… Something that doesn't make sense..."

Gwen looked up at her sister.

"If Tink has been working at GOSH or living with Harry this long, why did she still trail pixie dust from her wings?" She asked, Zarina cackling. Mission successful! They just spotted the one thing that didn't make sense, namely the fact Tink was still connected to Neverland!

It was definitely time for them to go for a checkup.

Half a continent away, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was in a foul mood. He'd just got a message from Arabella Figg that stated the Dursleys had effectively vanished, and he'd checked to find that the blood wards had dropped like the paper thin shield they were, and the secondary tracking he had on Harry, using the tools originally used for tracking rule breakers within the school, had returned an indefinite result.

Clearly, Something had gone wrong there, and he had to find out what.

"Severus!" He called, Snape sauntering into the office without even looking his way, "Do you know what happened to Harry's letters? I haven't yet got a reply to his letter, and the equipment no longer works..."

"I do not go round looking for lost people… Ask Tinkerbell. She's an expert in lost children, especially boys. Oh wait, you left her wandering aimlessly after Lily died, so you can't..." He sneered, "However, I will bring up that you didn't use any of the recommendations I tabled in the last staff meeting about book assignments. I have had to visit at least two dozen pure-blooded families to hand out the corrected book lists before they wasted a king's ransom on useless tripe..."

"I am sorry, Severus. I understand some of the books you offered are of a better quality, but we have to think of the muggleborn and half-blood students, who cannot afford the prices of those books..." Dumbledore offered with a twinkle of his eye.

Severus sighed. The fact most of the books sold to the school had been done, since Dumbledore's hiring, by a particular printing company, Bumblebee Print Works, whose major recent contract was the Harry Potter books, with two particular families having controlling interests in it, clearly wasn't the reason he ignored the suggestions.

Yep, working with the fairies again made him spot Dumbledore's transparent lies so much easier. The real reason he didn't want the alternative, superior, books that came from the continent was that they weren't printed by him, edited by him or even ghost-written by him.

"I sometimes wonder, quietly, why the average wizard in the street can't tie their shoelaces properly, then I remember half of them don't even understand needing to bend down to do so… but less about Muggle Studies classes," Severus sneered back, "Yes, the books we used in the 17th century are great books, but they also have been traced back to several fatalities due to improperly cast spells or exploding cauldrons..."

"I will look into ways of improving the book lists without compromising on affordability…" Dumbledore declared, which Snape knew meant he'd buy out the publishers on the better books if he could, "I do not have the time to deal with it at this moment, Hogwarts is opening soon..."

Once he'd left the office, Snape sighed.

"Maybe if you weren't spread so thinly, you'd actually get more proactive with things, but we can't have that," Snape drawled as he walked away from the office, "You might actually notice I've practically taken over your fiefdom... Oh wait, you wanted that, but it was for my other master..."

He then paused. "Although, what would she want with a magical school?"

Several miles away, at the Weasley home, Molly Weasley was preparing her youngest daughter for what she was going to be doing when they went to the platform.

"Now, You know your role, Ginerva… Albus might be worried about Harry not being there due to not getting his response letter, but we can't guarantee anything. Now, we know for a fact he's not aware of the location of the platform, so we look for a black haired boy in muggle attire, the scar will be easy to see, then go through the area, and you know your lines?" Molly asked, Ginny nodding, for her to smile back.

"I already got reassurances from Dumbledore that the muggles are unlikely to notice my comment, and the aurors on duty at the platform are all former Order members, so will make sure… You do this right, You will get that fairy-tale wedding to the Boy Who Lived, You just need to make sure he notices you..." Molly concluded, before walking off.

"Yes, Mum..." Ginny replied, slumping in her seat as Molly left her alone. Yes, She wanted a hero to sweep her off her feet, and the Boy Who Lived was her age and very much the kind of hero she'd like, but Luna…

She'd told her that, often, Real life heroes, unlike how they're presented in books, were flawed and prone to being far from what the authors claimed them to be, pointing out inconsistencies in both the self-published Gilderoy Lockhart books and the Harry Potter ones about particular things. Lockhart's books had become a game between the two to spot the biggest glaring inconsistency. They'd been about to move onto Harry Potter when Molly had her leave Luna 'to mourn'.

"I wish that I was like Luna now… She can always rely on Peri when she needs advice..." Ginny sighed, for a nearby bush to rustle.

"Is that 'Peri' as in 'Periwinkle'?" A voice declared from the bush, for her to look towards the bush and see a fairy like Luna's friend sat on a knot between a couple of the branches.

"Umm, Yes… My friend Luna swears by her advice..." Ginny stated, "What are you doing here, Miss..."

"Fawn… I was looking around since there's some foreign, unnatural, magic in this area..." She mused, wincing as something exploded in the house, "Except your magic and that of the twin terrors..."

"What do you mean by 'foreign'?" Ginny asked, settling down for what she wasn't aware would be a very long discussion...

Later that day, Harry went out to get the usual coffees and diet sodas from the drinks machine, to notice a new fairy on the mural, Tink coming out when he got her attention.

"Hmm… Fawn has found a companion..." Tink mused, "Wonder who it is… She's a nature fairy, she adores animals of any kind, and is the most down-to-earth and grounded of my old friends… She consulted with Luna a few times, since she helped her figure out some of the animals she thinks she sees... They don't exist,"

She then paused, before going to one of the 'in-the-know' nurses.

"Mind calling the Grangers? Make up some reason about a pre-school checkup... Make sure to mention you're from Great Ormond Street," She asked, "Actually, it's so I can explain fairy bonds in more detail, and Hermione can meet Periwinkle..."

"What about Fawn?" Harry asked.

"She knows where Great Ormond Street is, and fabricate some excuse..." Tink stated, clearly worried. They didn't have signs of a fellowship statue, just that Fawn had met her human...
