Hey guys! I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. I've been really busy with classes, and I've been sick for the past week. I'm really sorry!

An old man looking like a hobbit comes out. He was talking to Harry, but I wasn't paying attention due to the level of creepiness and the vibe the place was giving off. Then, all of the sudden, I was dragged along with Harry inside the building.

"Right this way Mr. Potter."

The old hobbit smiled a little too creepy for my taste. But then, he looked at me.

"This one can't come along though."

And just like that, I was escorted to the room.

The room was particularly small with two small beds. It was very dark, too. As I lay on one of the squeaky bed, I thought of a certain someone at the guild.

Meanwhile, at Fairy Tail

~Natsu POV~

I suddenly sneezed. Was I coming down with a cold? Lisanna who was right next to me looked at me strangely as we were heading back to Magnolia from our job. On train. I physically shuddered. It took a couple days to finish, but it can't be helped. I couldn't wait to tell Lucy about the adventure we had. Maybe on our next mission, she can come along.

As we arrived at the front on the guild's entrance, I took a deep breath and prepared.

"WE'RE BACK FROM THE JOB!"

And a couple seconds later, I started an all out brawl.

Everyone asked us how the job was and welcomed us back-except for Luce. She should usually be in the guild by now. She must be on a job! What if she's in danger?! What if she died?! I need to help her! I had a really bad feeling about something, like something was missing.

"Mira! What job did Lucy go on?!"

"Lucy? I didn't think she went on a job. I'll ask master."

I watched as Mira went up the stairs to Gramps' office. Slowly, I went up after her nin~nin style.

I listened on the other side of the door. The door was sooo thick! Almost as thick as my skull!

I could make out some of the words Cramps was saying.

~Makarov POV~

"Lucy was sent on a private mission that should last a while. It specifically asked for her and her only."

I had to lie. I promised Lucy. I couldn't tell Mirajane no matter what. Or Natsu, who is not doing a very good job at being a ninja.

~Natsu POV~

I couldn't believe Lucy got sent to private mission. When will she come home?! That was when I realized why I was uneasy. Lucy's scent was gone.

~Lucy POV~

When I woke up, it was bright and early. The noise I woke up to was definitely not birds singing. More like the roars of a dinosaur. So peaceful. A/N: Could you detect the sarcasm?

I guess Harry was already out of bed. I'll have to ask him about the owl. Then, I noticed a book. It had a buckle around it and looked really old.

'Weird,' I thought. I opened it and-IT JUMPED OUT MY HAND AND TRIED TO EAT MY FEET!

I scrambled onto my bed which looked like potato sacks on a table and tried to keep my feet from being eaten. The book crawled underneath my bed. And honestly, I was too scared to get down. It was like lava floor all over again.

"Open! Gate of the lion! Leo!"

A bright light eradicated the room and my 'Knight in shining armor' came.

"Loke, please, please, please help me get the book from under my bed. It literally bites back.

"Got it, princess. And maybe after, how 'bout a kiss."

"How 'bout you help me, and I'll think about it."

Loke helped be get the book back in it's rightful place, but hopefully they weren't expensive because he really did a number on it. Let's just say it's missing some pages. And the cover. And the spine. Let's just say the whole book. That'd be easier.

Loke went back sulking. Can you guess why? So I just went down the stairs to meet Harry. He had practically a full family with him. I wonder if he knows them.

Harry soon spots me and comes over with two other people around the same age as him. Friends, maybe?

"Hey! I'd like you to meet my best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

Again, I'm sorry. But here's the next chapter!
