Yo! I don't have a name for you people who are reading this story at the moment so I keep addressing you as 'You people' and I don't like that so… IF YOU HAVE A NAME SUGGESTION FOR THE PEOPLE FOLLOWING THIS STORY TELL IN REVIEWS. (I am not screaming at you. I put it as emphasis for the people who don't read author's notes.) I myself would call you my 'fellow numbers' but that is completely and utterly stupid.
Fun fact about me, the reason for InfinityZero1 being my name is because in 3rd grade I thought this… 0 – 1 equals -9999999999 AKA -Infinity. I was a stupid kid.
Getting back on track… I have a few endings for this story and I don't know which one to pick. They are about the same but ughhh… Only time will tell.
Infinity- *Learning Draconian from Natsu* Whoa Natsu-san you have good handwriting!
Natsu- Thanks! *Starts sweating bullets* Luce forced me to fix it. She was a scarier teacher than Erza! She also made me write that Draconian book for the students.
Infinity- That's harsh.
*Door breaks down and both people turn to look at it*
Happy- Natssuuuu! Luuussshhhhhyyyyy is being meeeaaannnn! She won't let me read her novel! *Happy crashes into Natsu's chest as Lucy appears running through the doorway*
Lucy- Urusai you damn neko! It is not finished yet!
Infinity- *Turns away from Lucy and towards electronic screen* Annnyyywwwaaayyys Happy Chapter 10! Let's go!

*RIBBIT*
"TREVOR!" the fish faced kid from before yelled. He then ran up the steps just below the professor and grabbed the toad. He started calming it by slowly rubbing its green back. When he was about to coo at the small animal he felt the glare of the lady on the back of his head. He quickly looked up and muttered a small apology of, "Sorry ma'am." And returned back to his spot on the steps.
"They are ready for you now," The green witch said, "Follow me."
Like Yesterday
In Hogwarts
The group of first-year students at Hogwarts followed the green witch to the Great Hall. She was moving rather quickly which Harry suspected was to make up lost time from the toad incident. She finally stopped at a set of rather big oak wood doors. They were about as tall as five Hagrids stacked on top of each other. The older lady put one hand to the doors and opened them.
*CREEAAAAKKKK*
Great Hall
All of the older students and professors in the Great Hall looked to the now opening oak wood doors. Out appeared a woman that we will get to know as Professor McGonagall, Leader of Gryffindor House, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and bunches of other eleven year old and twelve year old students.
The first-years immediately felt a wave of heat as they walked into the long hall filled with tables and students. It was about ten degrees hotter in the Great Hall then the corridors they were just in. A few students such as the fishy-faced male with the toad had sweat rolling down their faces. They were wearing dark cloaks so of course they would be hot. Harry thought that it was the work of heaters but then he remembered the discrimination from muggles and wizards he thought against it. Harry just blamed it on one thing, Magic.
The older students immediately started to whisper amongst themselves as the self-conscious first-years walked behind the green professor. Many of them assumed there was a test that sorted them into their houses, so people like Harry who never knew of magic and people like Ron who never studied were all getting ready to fail while Hermione, only Hermione, was muttering spells under her breath at a fast pace.
Harry, who had his head down the entire time down the walkway, moved his head up once the witch in front of him stopped. To the right of the large lectern with a golden owl was a pink haired twenty five year old male, with a dark red coat, black pants, sharp facial features and dark eyes. Harry noted to himself that it looked like he was clouded in mist. Harry moved his head to gaze at the man and so did all of the other kids. Harry immediately thought that the hair color was more exotic in person. When Harry looked to Natsu's eyes, he couldn't see through them, even when they met. They were a dark, sturdy wall, not to be crossed.
Natsu quickly turned to his left and whispered something to twenty four year old Lucy who was wearing the same black dress with red pillows from before. She abruptly stood up and yelled," I am not a hentai!" and tried to slap Natsu. Natsu, being the childish person in the group, started to laugh while dodging Lucy's hits. In doing so… Natsu, in the chair, leaned back too far and almost hit the floor. He quickly recovered though. During this the older students, knowing Natsu's and Lucy's relationship, laughed, even Headmaster Dumbledore was smiling. This small act also cracked Professor Snape's cold shell and now he had an amused smirk on his face while Professor Quirrell was looking fearfully at Natsu.
The first-years in their grey sweaters, black cloaks, white dress shirts, grey socks, black pants or dark grey skirts, with black shoes were not amused. They were dumfounded. People like Draco were just saying that the school had gotten lower than before, people like Harry and Ron were very confused, and Hermione, just Hermione, was pretty mad. She thought she was going to be taught something, not have fun and play games all day.
Lucy stopped throwing insults at Natsu when she heard the laughter of the students. She blushed red and bowed while saying, "I'm really sorry." She then returned to her seat and when Natsu re-stabilized his own seat, she glared daggers at him.
The green cloaked witch was one of the first people to stop her laughter and shed her smile. She gained the student's attention after a few tries. The oldest man with long white hair, long white beard, grey-blue cloak with a black hat walked up to the owl podium that Harry saw before and the old man gave a smile.
"Before you get sorted into your houses I have a few announcements to make," He started, "You are not allowed to go into the Dark Forest unless you are told it is okay by a teacher and you go there with a teacher. Do not go to the third floor unless you want to die so there are no activities there. I believe that is all so… You may start now Minerva."
As the old man went back to his seat everyone had glum expressions on their faces. Ron nudged Harry and said, "That was Headmaster Dumbledore. Apparently he is usually more happy then that speech." Harry nodded and turned his head to the green cloaked professor again.
"We will now begin the Sorting Hat ceremony. After the Sorting Hat calls out the name of the house you will take a seat on the house's table. As I said before those are Ravenclaw-" she was cut off by the cheers of Ravenclaw. "Hufflepuff." The Ravenclaws shut up and the Hufflepuffs shouted. "Gryffindor." Harry and a few other first-years had to cover their ears. "And Slytherin." The Slytherin shouts and cheers were louder than anyone else's but Harry noticed that a lot of professors clapped for Gryffindor but not Slytherin.
Minerva tapped her wand on the oak chair in front of the first-years and a dirty brown hat appeared with a grey cloth wrapped around it. She grabbed a green piece of parchment from the owl lectern and held it up. She first cleared her throat before calling out, "Hermione Granger?"
The bushy haired girl that Harry had met on the train slowly walked up to the chair. She had to walk up three steps before getting to the chair though and managed to not trip. The hat rested just above her brown eyes as Minerva put it on her. There was a small conversation in Hermione's head when it was on and after twenty seconds the Sorting Hat called out, "GRYFFINDOR!" Loud woops, hollers, and yells erupted from the Gryffindor table and also claps from the professors.
Minerva McGonagall, Leader of Gryffindor house, called out the next name on the green parchment and she looked to see a blond haired man, the same one she saw being rude before. As Draco Malfoy walked past Harry he said, "Good luck, Cabbage Patch kid." And formally walked to the Sorting Hat. Natsu of course heard but he wanted to see how Harry would respond.
Harry didn't punch, kick, or try to trip Draco like Natsu thought. Harry just glared at Draco, burning a hole through the back of his head. Les than one second after the Sorting Hat was put on Draco's head, it had announced, "SLYTHERIN!" and gained large amounts of clapping and yelling from Slytherin's table. Malfoy's achievement also made Professor Snape, wearing the same dark outfit from before, start to clap vigorously.
Susan Bones, a splitting image of Mavis Vermillion, Fairy Tail's first master, was soon called up by Professor McGonagall after Draco and she lightly skipped to the seat. The conversation in Susan's head lasted a whole minute because the Sorting Hat had a hard time determining Hufflepuff of Ravenclaw but he decided, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
As Ronald Weasley was called up after Susan, he was sweating. His nervousness along with the actual heat in the room only rose as he got closer to the stool. He had told Harry that his mother would be so enraged if he were to be in Slytherin because it basically ment that you were a bad kid. When the Sorting Hat was put on Ron, his face showed fear but when the Sorting Hat called out, "GRYFFINDOR!" he breathed a sigh of relief and hopped to the Gryffindor table.
"Harry Potter?" Professor McGonagall said. Whispers and murmurs broke out immediately as his name was called. Headmaster Dumbledore moved to the edge of his seat as Harry slowly walked to the chair the Sorting Hat was sitting on while chanting, "Not Slytherin." Under his breath.
As Harry got to the third step, he tripped but caught himself. He heard the snickers of the Slytherin at their table but kept chanting his chant. When he sat on the stool and the Sorting Hat was put on his head he heard a voice in his head. "Hummm… You have a nice bit of intellect if I may but also an equal amount of courage and bravery. But…. You are quite a sneaky fellow." Harry pushed his eyes closed and chanted "Not Slytherin" in his mind. All of Harry's friends were in Gryffindor so he would be lonely in Slytherin also with Malfoy, his rival, bullying him every two seconds would not be good. Plus Harry wasn't even a bad kid. He would never try to hurt an innocent.
"Really not Slytherin? You could be really good in Slytherin. It is all in your head." As the Sorting Hat kept pressing on Harry did not give in. Harry kept chanting until a few seconds later the Sorting Hat called out, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry's eyes opened as wide as dinner plates and his mouth turned into a large smile as everyone in Gryffindor's table to the slight right of him literally jumped out of their seats and started yelling. Natsu couldn't help but grab Lucy from the chair to the left of him and hold her up as he cheered. "Put me down Natsu!" she said. He let go after a minute or two because according to him, "She was heavy"
When Harry heard loud claps, he zoned in on them and saw them coming from Headmaster Dumbledore. The old man raised his golden glass with red wine in it to Harry and drank from it. When Harry heard the name "Natsu", his gaze focused on the pink haired man holding up who he thought was his wife named Lucy. He laughed at the sight along with the other students.
After All the First-Years were sorted
Headmaster Dumbledore had went up to the lectern with the golden owl on it and said with a cheerful smile, "Let the first Hogwarts feast of the year begin!" As Dumbledore clapped after that sentence, an insurmountable amount food appeared onto the tables in front of them. Sugary deliciousness and diabetes were there. Harry immediately let his jaw drop at the sight of infinite food.
After Harry heard a loud munching sound, he looked up to the sight of Ron already eating pie like a wild animal. Natsu had also caught notice of this and immediately thought of himself before talking to Lucy again.
Harry hesitated when grabbing his knife and fork but then looked at Ron again and grabbed some food and began eating it. It was the most delicious thing he had in his whole life. After a few minutes of Harry's normal eating, Hermione's polite eating, and Ron's savage eating, Ron grew pale and dropped his fork into his spaghetti.
"H-H-Harry… Someone is looking at you," Ron said as he pointed to the man.
Harry turned around and met the gaze of a man we know as Professor Snape. He was wearing a grey vest, black pants, and black cloak with a hood attached. Hermione grew curious when she didn't hear the scarfing of food next to her and looked to where Harry was looking. She immediately recognized the man as Severus Snape, Professor of Potions at Hogwarts, Head of Slytherin.
As Harry's and Snape's eyes met, Harry felt his scar on his forehead begin to ache. He put his hand up to it as the pain grew. "That's Professor Snape, he's the leader of Slytherin House. You shouldn't get him on your bad side," Hermione explained.
Snape kept nodding his head to the words his "friend" Professor Quirrell said but kept his gaze to Harry's. He noticed from that distance they were her eyes. He snapped his gaze back to his "friend" and they continued their conversation once more.
At the end of the glaring contest between Harry and Snape, Harry's forehead hurt so much that he started to grumble profanities under his breath. At the professors table Natsu completely stopped at a smell that has been haunting him for the last number of years and he slowly turned his head to Harry. Lucy stopped her conversation as she saw horror break through Natsu's usually hard eyes.
When Natsu's sharp eyesight eyed Harry's forehead he abruptly stood up from his chair and swiftly walked out using the closest route to Harry. As he passed Harry and took a wiff, his posture stiffened and he began to walk faster. In his mind he was saying, 'Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.'
Hermione and Ron looked up and saw Professor Dragneel stiffen when by Harry and just thought, 'Weird' before going back to their meals. Harry though, just thought it was a daily occurrence with Vernon and Petunia so he paid no mind.
Before I go onto other things I would like to say sorry if I offended you by saying diabetes was on the table. My grandma is a diabetic but she literally eats sooo much sugary things and I thought of these two things together
I feel as though Lucy is not in this story at all. I like Natsu- centric stories but if you like Lucy- centric then this may not be your cup of tea. I have thought of a Lucy and Harry and Hermione moment for the future so all will be well.
Just wondering but how many people follow and favorite? I only follow stories and count the amount of people reading my stories as the follow. Like for an example because I couldn't type that correctly without getting confused… this story has 75 follows meaning that I think that 75 people are reading it (NOT ACCOUNTING FOR THE 63 FAVORITES) I seriously think that 75 follows are amazing though. This morning I showed my brother just a tiny bit of my fanfic (This one and didn't tell it was a fanfic) and he said that If I were to put it on fanfiction I would be sad. But right now I have a smirk on my face and am just like "Dude I have maybe over 100 people reading this right now I am not sad at all."
If I screw up put it in the reviews. Tell me if you think I say 'dude' too much.
Have a nice day, night, morning, afternoon, whatever.
Bye.
