Edited/Revised on April 5th of 2016
Alright! Sorry for the late update, I meant to have this out a few days ago, but a ton to all who reviewed! even those who bashed about my bashing...
Few clarifications-
When Hogwarts butted in with the ritual she was their to see to her heir(Harry) being safe. Hogwarts will likely fight against and resist Dumbledore from now on, but Hogwarts has yet to retaliate for what Dumbledore has done. When the magic from the ritual messed with Dumbledore's magic She was taking a very large portion of it to send Harry to another place where he would be safe from Dumbledore. Doing that significantly reduced Dumbledore's power levels, but did not destroy his natural magic, he is just barley stronger than say Crabbe or Goyle now, near squib levels really. Harry didn't receive any power from this, when the ritual realized what was to happen She made sure that Harry's core was back inside of him untampered beyond the strong bond that had formed between the two of them. Dumble's power was basically used to hop dimensions and nothing else.
For his large collection of things however, Harry really only kept a few small things out side of his pocket dimension finding it infinitely easier to just requip things than go digging through his trunk.
Hope Everyone enjoys!
Disclaimer... I don't even know why I have to keep doing this... I clearly don't own this stuff or canon would be very different~
After Harry had gotten over his shock of waking up in some strange place with no clothes and weird runes drawn all over his body in dried blood, Harry requiped some clothes on to himself. He then tried going into his pocket dimension and tried to leave back to his Slytherin dorm. To his growing fear and disappointment he failed. He and his familiars popped back into existence right back where they had woken up. Harry tried with increasing despair for about ten minutes. Feeling mildly drained at that point Harry gathered his family and they came to the decision to find a stream or other body of water to clean the blood runes off and then they would try and find some form of civilization in this unknown land.
Finding one of the floating rivers connecting with the island they were on, the group of five used the fast flowing river for a quick bath. Once they had eaten lunch by the river, with food from Harry's pocket dimension, Ryuu suggested getting up to the highest island to get a bird's eye view. Mildly surprised by his sensible suggestion the group of five made their way to the highest Island with Harry's darkness. Harry could use the darkness to transport them from one place to another if he could see his destination or was intimately familiar with it.
From the small floating island they got a better view of just where they were. Numerous, near countless, islands of all sizes were floating about unaided, some large enough to hold a forest and others smaller than a stone. There were rivers that also defied all laws of physics by flowing from one island to the next unaided and uphill at incredible speeds. The vast majority of the flora was unrecognizable to Harry and what little was familiar was very differently colored or glowing eerily.
Finally spotting a relatively small town on what Harry assumed was the main land, and hopefully not just a giant floating expanse of land, Harry began the group's decent to the outskirts of said town.
Cautiously entering the town with only Myojin on him, Ryuu, Loki, and Mizuchi were in the pocket dimension and Myojin was keeping hidden, Harry made his way to a friendly looking street vendor and spun a tale of being attacked and kidnapped. Harry told the man that he had been hit viciously on his head repeatedly and things like where his home was were fuzzy and hard to remember. He also told the now very concerned man that the kidnappers had traveled for many days with him, that he was awake for, and that he had escaped their sinister claws just earlier that morning before he found his way into town. The man was more than willing to explain what ever Harry had asked about, in fact the man insisted that Harry come and spend at the least the night at his home.
When the man's wife came by with his lunch she told Harry that she was a nurse and proceeded to look Harry over. Finding signs of malnourishment and ill treatment that were years old she all but demanded that Harry came with her back to her clinic so she could get him thoroughly checked out. Quickly exquiping Myojin to the pocket dimension as well Harry went willingly with the enraged woman who had demanded that Harry eat the growing collection of food she grabbed from her husband's cart.
Once the two of them were at the clinic the wife had introduced herself as Jane Witherbell, and told Harry that her husband's name was Braden. As she gave him the most thorough check up he had ever received she talked to him and told Harry about herself and her husband. The two had met years ago and had fallen in love at first sight. They had moved from the Royal City out here to the outskirts of Fiore. She told Harry of how they had always wanted children but were unable to have any of their own.
Harry had left the Witherbell's home after roughly three weeks and had been traveling since exploring the world of Edolas and getting used to this world's magic. Harry and his family had had many close calls with Loki's identity as an Exceed, and Harry's natural ability to use magic without Lacrima.
Lacrima is a natural ore here in what the Witherbells had told him was Edolas. Lacrima was used for almost everything, from toys, weapons, and everyday necessities. It was solid, condensed, and pure magic. Harry could feel the power inside the little gem when Braden had shown how the electronics were working without electricity.
The small group Harry and his familiars made were currently making their way through a vast forest heading towards the Royal City to gather more information. The sun was beginning to set so the group set up a small camp in a clearing for the night.
While Harry was heating up some food using a fire pit when he heard what sounded like an elephant crashing through the forest. Harry froze and waited as the ruckus got closer and closer to his little clearing.
Suddenly two kids Harry's age come wrestling through the brush. The two continued to have at it until one with blue hair and wearing about five extra jackets looked up after pinning the one with pink hair and no shirt on to the ground.
"I give, I give up Grey!" the pink haired one wailed.
"Shut up Natsu there's someone else here." Grey said to the now dubbed Natsu.
Natsu looked up at Harry who was still sitting at the other side of the small clearing and said "I'm so sorry we disrupted you meal we should leave right away." He finished as he tried to get Grey off of him.
Grey grudgingly let Natsu up and blushed feersly when his stomach grumbled loudly making it's opinion known. Natsu looked ready to make fun of Grey's stomach when his own spoke up causing him to go silent with embarrassment as well.
With a small amused smirk Harry finally spoke up. "I have enough for you guys to eat too. I hope you like fish." Harry said gesturing to the fish he had caught earlier that day.
Receiving enthusiastic nods from both of them Harry couldn't help but laugh a little. "My names Harry by the way." He said as he added more fish to the fire.
"I'm Grey, and this baby's Natsu." Grey said gesturing to Natsu and snatching up one of the cooked fishes.
"Pleasure to meet you." Natsu said shyly while Harry passed a fish to him.
Harry was watching them closely after they had introduced themselves. They both looked like younger versions of the ones from his books, but were so different than the ones from Earthland Harry didn't know what to think. "So what were you guys doing out here?" Harry asked.
"Well this knuckle head challenged me to a fight earlier and then ran trying to wuss out." Grey said in between mouth fulls of fishy goodness.
"I said I was sorry, and I forfeited." Natsu said with an apologetic expression, big doe eyes included.
"Ok then, so you guys live near here, right? I'm trying to get to the Royal City." Harry told them with an amused smirk.
"Yah, we're both members of the magic guild Fairy Tail." Natsu said in a quiet voice, but with a large grin.
"Wow, really?" Harry asked after freezing for a moment. That settles it, Harry thought, Their names are Natsu and Grey and though they are different they're members of Fairy Tail.
"Yah, I'm sure Master Makarov wouldn't mind you spending the night there." Natsu said softly.
"Well if your sure," Harry said as hope and desperation began to fill him. After everything he's been through to simply stumble upon what has been a beacon of hope and what he has always strived for, Harry couldn't believe it was really happening.
"Of course we are, lets get your stuff put away and we'll help you haul it to the guild. It's not far from here." Grey said having put out the small fire and already starting to pack what he could up.
After about a half hour of walking along a trail they could see a building up ahead. The building was huge and seemed to be made of giant roots that came up from the ground to create the guild. Above the door and in between two of the vine like roots that came together in the shape of a heart lay a symbol that nearly brought Harry to his knees when he saw it. The very symbol he knew to mean home, family, magic, and everything he wanted was above this door. Natsu and Grey had started running and were waiving for Harry to hurry up.
When they reached the guild at last a tall old man with a white mustache came out and began to chastise Grey and Natsu for coming back so late. He had white hair also sticking out of his hat, a hat that Harry had seen countless times on the guild Master Makarov in his books. It was finally too much as Harry collapsed in front of the steps and began balling his eyes out.
Despite what he showed the world Harry was still a little boy that had to fend the world off on his own. And this boy had finally, finally found the place he had begun to call home in his heart.
Grey, Natsu and the unintroduced guild master froze and were freaking out not knowing what to do before a girl maybe 15 or 16 came out to see what was causing the commotion immediately rushed to Harry's side and began to console him and picked him up to bring him inside. Harry clung to her like she was all he had left.
When Harry finally calmed down enough to talk without sobs raking his body and hiccups forcing their way out Harry began to talk. He told them everything. The lady had brought him into the guild masters personal chambers and had him on the bed, so the guild master, kind lady, Natsu, and Grey were the only ones in the room. Makarov silenced Grey when he tried to interrupt and ask questions.
Harry told them about the Dursleys, how they hated him and how they treated him. The kind lady he now recognized as a younger Mirajane, had to leave to room a few times when she shook with so much rage about the injustices that had happened to Harry. When he told them of his books and what they meant to him and allowed him to learn they were of course shocked and Grey blurted out that if he could do as he has said to prove it. Harry had called the first book out and handed it over to Makarov watching as they looked over it and were baffled by the differences. Satisfied with the proof Harry continued his tale. He explained what he learned to do, told them of his escape and then discovery of more magicals in his world. He continued with Dumbledore's manipulations and what he found in the wizarding community of his world. He introduced them to his snakes who stayed out of his pocket dimension to comfort Harry afterwards. Harry told them about the rest of his first year and how his summer began followed with his informative visit to the wizarding bank. He told them of Loki and introduced him as well. Harry continued with his second year and the trials and hardships that followed. Harry finished telling them of waking up in a world where everything was different and backwards before Grey and Natsu had run into him and brought him here.
When Harry had finally finished master Makarov insisted that Harry stay with Fairy Tail at least for the night and Harry all but passed out before they even all had left the room.
That night while he slept Mirajane, Makarov, Grey and Natsu collaborated on what to do about Harry. Mirajane was of the mind that this was a lost and lonely child who needed to be taken care of. Makarov saw a strong child who was far older than he should be. Grey and Natsu now saw Harry as a brother and were going to do their best to make sure nothing bad ever happens to him again. They all agreed that he will always be welcome with Fairy Tail, and will always be a part of their family.
Harry had fit right in with the other members of the guild. With an agreed upon story for how Harry came to join the guild, few questions were asked. Most knew that for Harry, a young boy the same age as Natsu and Grey, something bad had to have happened and they were respectful and let Harry keep the past to himself. But they were still supportive and made sure he felt welcome.
One of Harry's first guild missions was an errand into the Royal City. On Harry's trip to the city Harry stumbled upon a rare magics story. It was there that he found a violin that was suppose to cause different effects depending on the music that is played. The old man who ran the shop told Harry that it hasn't worked for years now but is still a good violin for starters. Harry bought it with his limited funds for this world after bartering and swearing to make a second payment. Harry ended up leaving without his wand. He had convinced the old man to use it as collateral and that it too was a magical object.
Finished delivering his message Harry had ran into a familiar girl that was his age. She had short, bright red hair and was wearing a military uniform dress. She also had a simple rapier attached at her waist. When Harry had ran into her Harry fell down to the ground while she remained standing. She reached down to help Harry up.
"I'm so sorry for running into you. I should be watching where I'm going more." Harry apologized once he was on his feet again
"It's ok, I should have been more attentive as well." She said.
"Uh, My names Harry." he said thrusting his hand out for her to shake.
"Erza, Erza Knightwalker." she said as she shook Harry's hand.
Freezing for just a moment Harry smiled wider and ended up talking for the rest of the afternoon with Erza. And though Harry was lightly reprimanded for being out so late he was happy that he had made a friend.
When Harry went back into town to pay for the rest of the violin and get his wand back, Harry was ecstatic to find Erza again. They then made plans to meet up from time to time and keep their friendship going despite their numerous duties and full schedules.
Harry had found that an older member of Fairy Tail knew how to play numerous instruments and after seeing Harry with his new violin had taken it upon himself to see to making sure that Harry knew how to properly play and take care of his new instrument. With his violin lessons, keeping up with his wizarding studies, and participating in missions Harry found little time to himself.
Just a year after Harry had found this world's Fairy Tail the government announced new laws about the consumption of magic and ordering the disbanding of every magical guild to help stave off the eminent end of magic. The magic of this world was a limited resource and that resource was now running dry. The experts predicted that if another source isn't found within the next five, maybe ten years, then society will collapse with the loss of the main power source.
The future looking increasingly dim the guild refused to disband and was labeled dark and to be hunted by the crown.
Over the course of the next three years Harry had begun to pick up jobs for the guild and make himself useful where he could. With other members of the guild having gotten used to Harry's unique quirks and his unusual family without the whole story they all did what they could to help out. Myojin, Ryuu, and Mizuchi keeping the food stores pest free, and Loki helping set traps and complicated defenses for the guild while occasionally collecting information from other Exceeds he saw. Harry was the main entertainment for his guild with his now well developed violin playing, and made Lacrima easy for his guild to obtain and sold the extra he made on the side.
Harry had quickly discovered that his magic violin never seemed to use up the Lacrima that it used and so he decided to try using empty Lacrima to see if the magic was coming from himself. Expecting the magic to simply be coming from himself Harry was surprised and very happy to learn that he was actually charging the Lacrima with his magic. Since then he had discreetly spoken with guild master Makarov and started providing all the Lacrima the guild could need and more by retrieving the used up gems and pouring his magic into them.
With the Lacrima shortage no longer affecting the guild as it had been before, spirits were high and magic a wondrous thing for all the members again.
Harry was making his way back from a short mission in the town Sycca when he found Lisanna walking along the road looking lost, as if she had never seen this place before. Harry called out to her and she froze when she saw him. Confused Harry made his way towards her to inquire what was wrong.
"Hey, Lisanna, what are you doing down here, weren't you on a mission in the Royal city?" Harry asked once he had caught up to her.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are." She said quietly.
Frowning slightly Harry did a quick scan with his magic. Lisanna stiffened when Harry's magic touched her and Harry realized that she naturally had magic. This wasn't Lisanna from Edolas. She was from somewhere else like he was.
"Ok, this is going to sound crazy, but I need you to listen." Harry told her not knowing what they will do when they got to the guild and had to explain two Lisannas. Receiving a small and shy nod Harry let out a sigh before he began to explain what he could. "Things are suddenly different, plants that should be green are purple, land is floating unassisted, and you don't recognize any of the creatures you've seen. You have no idea how you got here, let alone where here is. You can do magic of some sort. And you are a member of the magic guild Fairy Tail." Harry said as he watched her expression grow from cautious to astonished. "My name is Harry, three years ago this happened to me too. I went to bed one night and woke up on a floating island. This place is called Edolas, there is a Fairy Tail here, but there is also a Lisanna. Magic is different here." Harry continued explaining as he pulled out his violin and showed her the gem in the energy chamber. "This is Lacrima, this world's magic is crystallized, and a natural resource. That means it's limited. In fact Fairy Tail has been labeled a Dark Guild because we refuse to disband and cease using magic."
Harry paused to let Lisanna process what he had said, knowing it was a lot to take in with such sudden changes to your life. "What am I supposed to do..." she quietly asked sounding slightly defeated.
"You can come back with me to the guild. Master Makarov knows that I can naturally use magic and he will be accepting of you. You will need to hide that you can naturally do magic, the only beings here that can are called Exeed and are hailed as Gods. They look like cats, but their magic manifests as wings and sometimes visions of the future. The Human king has been plotting to over throw the rein of the Exceed for a while now, but the Exceed don't see him as a threat. Back on topic, you are welcome at Fairy Tail, I'm headed there myself if you want to tag along." Harry finished.
With a small nod in the affirmative the two began to continue down the road. "Everything is already so different here, how do you know I will be welcome at Fairy Tail?" Lisanna asked sadly.
"Well, I'm sure that no matter what world you are in Fairy Tail will always welcome it's members, and will always stand for family, friendship, and freedom. Again I don't know how things were where you came from, but here the most known members are Natsu, Grey, Cana, your brother and sister, and master Makarov. Here Natsu is shy but a demon with any form of transportation, Grey can never wear enough clothes, Cana is a perfect saint, Your brother is rather wimpy despite his large size, and sister can only be described as motherly, but don't anger her she will turn demonic. Master Makarov is quiet and protective." Harry said with a small fond smile on his face.
"Wait, what about Happy, and Erza?" Lisanna asked worriedly.
"Erza... I'm going to assume that she was a good guild mate in your world, well Erza the Fairy Hunter is her title here. She works for the Royal City hunting down Dark guilds and with a personal vendetta against Fairy Tail. As for Happy, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he's blue, a cat, can grow wings, talk, and hatched from an egg?" Harry asked.
"How do you keep doing that?" Lisanna asked slightly awed.
"Well in my world, Earth magic is kept secret. Muggles, those that can't use magic, have long forgotten that magic is real. There is a fantasy comic of sorts about another world. That world is called Earthland." Harry watched as Lisanna's eyes widened in recognition. "It follows a rambunctious and powerful guild named Fairy Tail. I get the feeling that your Fairy Tail and the Fairy Tail I read are one and the same. Or very similar." Harry said "When I was young I didn't know of magic as I was raised by muggles, but I did find the books about Fairy Tail and decided to try. I needed something good in my life that had been rather horrible up to that point. So I tried for months to imitate the magic your Erza could do. Eventually I could requip and exquip at the same skill level as Erza herself. I continued to do other magics, but that was my first." Harry explained with a small reminiscent smile on his face.
When the pair reached the Edolas Fairy Tail's current head quarters it was deathly silent inside. Harry and Lisanna went in and found almost everyone was sobbing or at least had tears streaming down their face. Harry was about to ask who had been caught when Mirajane, and Elfman had all but tackled Lisanna next to him. Harry realized what had happened and as others began to celebrate Lisanna's miraculous return Harry pulled Makarov to the side and told him who this Lisanna really was.
After the excitement over Lisanna's return began to die down Harry found himself alone more and more often. Grey and Natsu were desperate to spend as much time as they could with Lisanna now that they had seen how easily she could just disappear. So Harry devoted more of his time towards his studies into Blood magics, Runes, and Warding. While he couldn't do much practical practice, Harry went in depth with what books he had gathered or found in his mystery trunks form his pocket dimension.
Harry continued to meet up with Erza in the Royal City from time to time. She had even offered to take Harry on as her lieutenant, and wipe his record clean of any and all offenses. Harry had turned her down. Surprisingly even though she knew Harry was a member of Fairy Tail she never threatened him or tried to take him in to be sentenced to death. Harry and she had remained good friends, almost like siblings really, and met up through out the years and Harry freely gives her Lacrima and had given her a scarf that she now wore at all times. Erza had given Harry a pair of fingerless gloves that he also always wears.
As time continued on new members joined the guild. Most were from other guilds that were taken down and in search of a place to stay, others were wanting to use magic pure and simple. Some of the faces and names Harry had recognized form his old Fairy Tail books. Harry had stopped receiving the books after he ended up in Edolas, but Harry was ok with that, he had the real thing right in front of him after all.
It was the 31st of July a full five years since Harry had shown up in Edolas. Today the Fairy Tail guild was celebrating Harry's 17th birthday, and his fifth year with the guild. The guild house had been moved earlier that morning to avoid any interruptions to the festivities. Most of age members were already drunk as could be with the exception of Saint Cana, Harry, Natsu, Grey, Master Makarov, and Elfman. It was getting late and it was decided that it was time to get out the cake and presents before the drunk members start dropping unconscious.
The guild master went first gifting Harry with a new magic violin for Harry's growing collection. Grey gave him a new jacket with it's sleeves still on, which Harry promptly tore off much to Grey's horror. There were scattered gifts of sweets and trinkets. Finally Natsu and Lucy led Harry outside to show him his gift. Harry was excited when he spotted the new magic motorbike that Natsu had built and Lucy designed. Thanking them profusely, Harry immediately hopped on and took his new ride for a spin.
Harry's time in Edolas had changed him. He was 17 now and 6'1". His hair was to his shoulders and only marginally tamed. Harry typically wore a temporary tattoo of the Fairy Tail symbol on his left fore arm in emerald green. He typically wore a long dark leather jacket with the sleeves torn off, with a green or gold tee shirt on underneath. He wore black jeans, and tall army boots. With his gloves from Erza added he looked rather intimidating even though his main magical weapon was his violin.
A few months had passed since then and it was getting close to time for the guild to move again. Everyone was going about business like usual. Natsu was out on a top secret mission with his car and Juvia was trying to choose a mission from on one from the Request board when Harry stopped aimlessly playing his violin and watched the four people who had just come in with strange disguises. One looked like Natsu but was very loud and over dramatic, one looked a lot like a miniature Wendy. They also had two Exeed with them. Wait... Harry thought, Could it really be, but how would they have gotten here? Harry continued to think as Lucy now had Natsu in a corporal punishment hold. Wincing for him Harry stepped forward when the Exceed were pointed out and agreed with Mirajane and Elfman.
"Yah, they just look like Exceed, like Loki." Harry said as people relaxed seeing that this must be the truth. While those who knew Loki really was an Exceed just sweat dropped.
Harry winced in sympathy when Lucy had Natsu in a painful hold again while she was interrogating him. I hope this doesn't mean that something has happened to the Edolas Natsu, and Wendy. Harry thought thinking of how Lisanna came to Edolas, but breathed a sigh of relief spotting Edolas Wendy across the room.
Harry watched as things continued to spiral out of control as they always do in Fairy Tail. Once Lucy and Levy were fighting again Harry slid over to the table with who he assumed were the Earthland Natsu, Wendy, Happy, and Carla.
When they began to talk about Erza Harry knew he had to speak up no matter how much entertainment their ignorance would bring. "Erza's not really the opposite here." Harry said.
They all jumped back not having seen Harry sit down, but once they were back in their seats Natsu demanded "What do you mean Erza's not the opposite, there can't be two girls that scary here!" Natsu finished beginning to freak out now hiding under the table, again.
"And there aren't, Erza is not a member of Fairy Tail. Not here in Edolas." Harry said.
Wendy seemed to catch on to what Harry was saying and asked him "Wait, you seem to know whats going on, that we aren't from here, how could you possibly know that?" she asked while Carla began to glare suspiciously at Harry.
"Because, I'm not either." Harry told her. "We need to go meet with the guild master and get this sorted out." Harry said gesturing for them to follow him.
Before they could make it to the backroom however Lucy jumped Natsu again and before Harry could interfere Lisanna popped in. Natsu froze and began to tear up. It was all the proof Harry needed to know for sure that they were from Earthland, just like Lisanna.
Lisanna had begun to talk to Natsu but when he didn't respond she turned to him and she too froze. Harry was pretty sure she recognized Natsu as her Natsu, and not the Edolas one. No one could have predicted Natsu's reaction of leaping towards her though. Lucy intercepted the animistic action and dragged the half unconscious and blubbering Natsu to a table.
While Lucy was tearing into Natsu again Lisanna turned towards Harry and all but asked with her eyes if it was really her Natsu. Harry nodded slowly while watching Natsu cry while Grey consoled him. Harry then looked over as Carla told Wendy that the people of the Fairy Tail guild were not their Fairy Tail guild.
Harry tried to stop them from running out right when disaster struck. Harry knew they should have moved that morning instead of wait, but Levy was still working on the mechanics, and now Erza was here to destroy the guild.
The cry that the Fairy Hunter was here caused everyone to stop in fear, or in confusion for four.
The transport was taking to long and Fairy Tail was going to be taken out when Harry began to siphon as much magic as he could into the machine without overloading it. They only just managed to change locations a few seconds before Erza would have come crashing through the roof.
Once they had landed Harry set about recharging the transmission Lacrima just in case. He stopped when he heard the Earthland crew's shock at just who the Fairy Hunter really was.
"I tried to tell you." Harry said joining the group. "Things here in Edolas are different than what you are used to." Natsu, Wendy, Wendy, Carla, Happy, Lucy, Mirajane, Grey, and Elfman were now all paying close attention to Harry as he told them the basics of what was going on.
Ok before I get a ton of questions, a few short notes. I have made Harry and Erza Knightwalker friends, this does not mean that Erza likes Fairy Tail at all. She likes Harry and sees him as a brother. She wants to save Harry from Fairy Tail. Another thing, Edolas Master Makarov is not dead, nor is he the king. I don't know what exactly killed the canon guild master, but I have decided that due to Harry's presence that he survived what ever battle had done him in. Like wise, with Harry's unlimited source of magic I'd like to think that Fairy Tail suffered very few losses over the course of the Magic War. I called Fairy Tail a Dark guild instead of Underground, because I think that if the government/royal court was going to label them something it wouldn't be underground which sounds cool and awesome, but dark which sounds bad and evil. That way the government can argue that they protect the citizens from dangerous dark guilds, not crushing rebellions. I think that's it. Thanks for reading, please review!
