Chapter 11: After School Activities
As the classes ended for the day, the Fairy Tail members knew their day was far from over, and unfortunately for Harry, the Golden Trio knew the same thing.
Harry made his way towards Umbridge's office for his first, of many, detentions. He already knew it wasn't going to be pleasant, but as he made his way to the overly pink and kitten filled room, he wasn't expecting what he was going to get. The blood quill tore at his skin, making him cringe and hiss at the pain. This had to be illegal, but he would stand it just so he would not be defeated by the witch.
Meanwhile the Fairy Tail members were meeting behind Mavis's portrait, for their first official meeting and Study Hall. As they took their seats, they felt instantly refreshed. Makarov sat at one end, with Mavis on the other as they told the others what they had discovered throughout the day. The Gryffindors and Slytherins spoke of the heated rivalry between the two, and explained the blood status hierarchy in the Wizarding World. Other than that, there wasn't much to report, so they simply worked on their schoolwork until it was time to go to dinner. Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus would snack on the "food" left for them in the corner, but for the most part, people got their work done, because none of them had any idea what the afterschool training with Mavis and Makarov would consist of.
When study hall was over, everyone rushed to the dining hall, because they were all starving, except for Wendy and Carla, who strode down the hallway
ys at a leisurely pace, until Wendy suddenly smelled blood coming from just in front of her. She tracked down the source to a boy with a lightning scar on his head. "Oh my god, what happened to you?" she said as she caught up with him. "Oh, just detention with Umbridge. She made me write lines with a blood quill." Wendy gasped, "Are they allowed to do that here? That's horrible!" Harry shrugged, "I'm not really sure, probably not." Wendy then took his hand, and using her sky magic healed it. Harry's face went from one of general shock at her grabbing his hand to downright dumbfounded when he saw the skin of his hand stitch together where it read "I shall not tell lies." "What did you lie about? Oh, and I'm Wendy by the way." "Harry, and I didn't lie. She just refused to believe the truth." "Oh, I see; she must not be a very good teacher, but I don't remember her, so I don't think I have her." At this point they were walking together to the dining hall, his hands still smeared with blood. "Well, you're from Fairy Tail, right? You didn't take DADA with us; you had your own class." "Oh, I understand, I feel stupid now…" "Don't feel stupid! You're new here; she could have been an elective teacher for all you knew." "Aha that's true, thank you for making me feel better, well now that we're here, I better go to my table; I'll see you in class Harry." With that she walked off to the Hufflepuff table.
When Harry sat down, Natsu lifted his head and sniffed, "Why do you smell like blood?" he asked. "Oh well, I had detention with Umbridge after school and she made me use a blood quill to make me write lines. When I wrote on the paper, it dug into my hand too, but then your friend Wendy came… and she… well she…" "Oh spit it out Harry!" exclaimed Hermione. "She… healed me. How'd she do that?" "Wendy's magic allows her to heal people," said Lucy, "but the real question is whether or not your Professor should be allowed to do that to a student." Hermione nodded in agreement before saying, "Harry, you should tell Dumbledore; he'll know what to do." Harry just shook his head, "No, I don't want to cause more trouble, also Dumbledore's been ignoring me lately, so there's no point in worrying about it." Hermione didn't agree, but she decided against doing something for Harry's sake, while Erza decided she had to tell the Master about this.
Meanwhile, at the Ravenclaw table, Luna was talking to the new transfers, "I'm rather curious about your magic, could you tell me about it?" Gray didn't know what to say, but answered, "You could just come watch us tonight; we'll be at some field used to play a sport called quiduck or something. Half of us will be out there for an hour right after dinner, and the rest of us will be there the hour after that." "Hmm, I've already finished my homework, so I think I will go and watch."
As dinner came to a close, 5 specific curious students made their way to the Quidditch pitch, as well as some others who had decided they wanted to see what the deal was with the Fairy Tail students. Over all, there were 11 students who had decided to watch, Neville and the twins had decided to join the Golden Trio, Pansy and Blaise joined Draco, and Ginny joined Luna to watch the mysterious new students.
The first half of the students were already there and warming up. The Headmaster was sitting cross legged on the bench along with Elman and Gildarts until they had all warmed up their physical bodies. "Alright brats. Time for Day 1 of your After School Training sessions. I had Freed set up some protection runes earlier, so you can't exit the pitch until exactly 7:55 or until you're knocked out. Also, you're magic can't escape the barrier either, it'll just dissipate, so you can't use it as a reflective surface. The barrier goes as high up as you want so go all out. However, you should know, the first one unconscious gets to play my punishment game." Natsu paled at the memory of the last punishment game, while the rest of the members gulped in fear. Makarov just smiled. "To make things more interesting, Gildarts and Elman will be joining in the training. For today, it's basically going to be a battle. Every man for himself. Rules are no lasting damage, once someone is out cold, leave them alone so I can get them out, and finally have fun. Push yourself to your magical limits, but be also be careful. No warming up your magic until I say Go. Now get in your places." Gildarts and Elfman walked to the center of the pitch, while everyone else spread out. "READY." Everybody got serious as they eyed their opponents. "SET." The spectators watched the events, wondering what kind of headmaster would allow their students, and teachers to fight, but they supposed it was somewhat like duel practice. "GO." '
For anyone watching who didn't know about the Fairies' magic, like the 11 students present, there would be no way to comprehend what they saw before them. Elfman's body became that of a monster, yelling out "Take-Over Magic: Beast Soul". Erza's clothes disappeared as she yelled "Re-Quip: Heaven's Wheel" and she reappeared in different armor and surrounded by several blades, creating a circle. Natsu's entire body lit up in flames, engulfing him completely. Lisanna yelled out "Take-Over Magic: Animal Soul: Cat" transforming into a catlike body as her speed increased. Evergreen had wings out of her back and flew above everyone, watching them. Juvia's body transformed completely into water as she prepared to attack. Gildarts simply stood on the defensive, waiting for someone to come at him. But by far, the most surprising piece of magic they all witnessed was made by the sweet, innocent Mira. "Take-Over Magic: Satan's Soul" she yelled out as her body transformed into that of a demon, a scar running down her eye, with a tail flicking behind her. As the Hogwart's students stared in complete and total amazement, they saw hell break loose.
They partnered off, Juvia against Lisanna, Evergeen against Natsu, Erza against Mira, and Elfman against Gildarts. It was impossible to follow completely. Juvia sent what she called "Water Slicers" towards Lisanna, who dodged it using her advanced speed from her Cat Take Over. She slashed her claws towards Juvia, but went right through. Evergreen sent her Fairy Machine gun at Natsu who either dodged or burned all of the bullets and sent a Fire Dragon: Iron Fist towards Evergreen, who flew out of harm's way. Erza sent her swords towards Mira, who dodged them, before attacking with her Soul Extinction spell. Erza had transformed into her Adamantine Armor in a split second, blocking the attack. Elfman attacked Gildarts, who pulled a piece of the crushed earth up to block the attack, then shouting out "Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth, Emyrean" going to punch Elfman, but he transformed into his "Beast Soul: Lizardman" form before the punch hit, leading to an intense amount of energy to collide together, pushing both men back.
"What is this?" asked an awed Hermione, "I've never seen, read, or heard of anything like it. All of their magic is so different, and they're all so powerful. I never would have imagined that they all had this much power. They're so young…" Ron and Harry just sat there with their mouths hanging open in disbelief. The Slytherins were feeling the same way. Draco said, "This isn't possible. There's no way this could happen. Mira is some sort of demon. Even those Hufflepuff girls are powerful. Nothing is right."
Suddenly, about halfway through the hour, when no progress was being made, "My children, why are you holding back? Also this is not a one on one fight. This is about improvement, not winning. When we get back home, it will be time for the Grand Magic Games. Do you want to take the chance of losing to Sabertooth?" The spectators just stared, 'Holding back?!' they all thought.
Suddenly, Mira transformed into her Satan Soul: Sitri form. Elfman turned into his Beast Soul: Belcusas form. Juvia went back to pure water. Lisanna crouched down, ready to pounce. Suddenly the flames engulfing Natsu's body sparked with lightning. Erza requiped into her Nakagami Armor. Evergreen finally removed her glasses staring at everyone with her glowing gold eyes.
Finally Gildarts yelled out, "Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Ikazuchi" hitting the ground, causing it to explode upwards towards the Fairies. Evergreen took this as her chance to find her target. Lisanna was desperately looking around to find cover, when her eyes met Evergreen's and she turned to stone. The Master immediately enlarged his hand, grabbing her and bringing her outside the barrier. Natsu had escaped the ricocheting ground, by Happy grabbing him and flying him to safety. "Thanks lil buddy!" "Aye Sir!" The Hogwarts students found the flying, talking cat to be the least surprising thing they had seen that day. Juvia had flown up into the air in her water form to escape the blast, Mira Jane yanking her wings out of her back to fly above it as well. Erza jumped up before setting her Nakagami Starlight spell straight towards Gildarts, who dodged by rolling away, only to be met by Natsu's Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar, which was attacking everyone within the barrier. Gildarts used his Disassembly Magic to destroy the roar. Juvia sent her Wings of Love spell towards her enemies, wiping out the flames approaching her and heading straight for Natsu, Erza, and Mira-Jane. Erza blocked Natsu with her Lightning Empress Armor and her Sea Empress sword and blocked Juvia with her Flame Empress sword. Mira Jane uses her Darkness Shield to block her from both Natsu's roar and Juvia's attack. She then used her Demon Blast against all of her enemies, Juvia using her water body to create a hole through her body that the beam went through. Happy flew Natsu out of harm's way. Gildarts created a pit that he fell into, effectively dropping him away from the beam. Erza requiped into her black wing's armor, flying out of the path of the oncoming beam. Evergreen and Elfman were both hit by the oncoming beams, passing out instantly; Makarov grabbing them and moving them out of harm's way. Everything was at a standstill. Juvia stood in one corner watching her opponents in her water body form. Natsu sat in another corner, carried by Happy, watching the others. Erza had re-quipped into her Armadura Fairy armor, waiting for someone to make a move. Mira Jane was flying in the final corner of the pitch, watching everyone. Gildarts was in his hole, eyes peeled for signs of an attack. Just as they were about to attack the Master's voice rang through, "Time's up brats." Erza requiped into her old attire, Juvia returned to her normal body, Happy put Natsu down, and Mira landed and returned to her normal self. Lisanna had been turned back to normal when Evergreen passed out. The Hogwart's students just sat in total and complete shock.
"Gihi, impressive. Maybe one of these days all of us will get to fight," said an amused Gajeel from the side of the pitch. Wendy rushed over to Elfman and Evergreen, and after making a quick assessment, said it wasn't serious, and after using her healing magic for a second, they quickly woke up and returned to normal. "Okay brats, you know what's next. Come on. Lisanna, I'll tell you what the punishment game is tomorrow." Lisanna paled as Evergreen apologized for being the one to bring such a horrible fate on her, while everyone else simply muttered, "At least it wasn't me" and left the pitch.
"Okay brats, your turns. Get onto the field." Somehow, the field had turned back to exactly as it had before. "By the way, thank you Freed for setting up the Enchantments so nothing was permanently ruined; we can't afford any more damage costs. Lucy stopped where she was, "Wait, if Freed set up the enchantments, I'm not going in there. He could have booby trapped him and that's against the rules." As the other Fairy Tail members realized this, they all stopped before entering too. Mavis came down from the tree she was in and laughed lightly, "Relax, I watched him while he set them up, there are no booby traps, you may enter." Makarov restated the rules, and upon saying go, the spectators again gasped in awe of what they saw before them.
Gajeel's body covered itself in iron. Freed yelled out "Dark Ecriture: Wings" as wings made out of runes sprouted from his back and he made for the sky. Gray got into his Ice Make stance and prepared for an oncoming attack. Bickslow jumped on top of his babies and allowed them to carry him to the safety of one of the hoops of the Quidditch pitch. Cana had a card between each finger and was ready to attack. Lightning crackled around Laxus. Lucy instantly called one of her spirits to her side "Open Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!" Virgo appeared and asked Lucy "Punishment time Princess?" "Not today Virgo" Lucy responded, as she took out her Celestial Whip and flicked it, making it come to life. Wendy shouted out "Fast winds that run the Heavens Vernier enchant! Power of the stout arms that tears the Heavens Arms Enchant! Armor Enchant!" Wendy's body took on a light as her arms and body gained speed and defense.
Again the members paired off. Lucy took on Wendy, Laxus and Gajeel battled, Cana and Freed attacked, and finally Bickslow and Gray. Wendy went to attack Lucy in hand to hand combat only to have her hands bound by Lucy whip. Virgo disappeared into the ground, and then came up to grab hold of Wendy and drag her under, but Wendy used her Sky Dragon's Roar to push her off the ground and into the air for safety. Laxus struck Gajeel, who used his Iron Dragon Club to call all of the Lightning to the one arm, which simply absorbed it. Gajeel then attacked Laxus with his Iron Dragon Sword, which Laxus side stepped away from. Cana used her Prayer's Fountain card against Freed who cut through it with his sword, sending a Dark Erciture: Slay spell towards her, which she absorbs into one of her cards. Bickslow uses his babies' line formation to attack Gray, who uses an Ice-Make: Shield to protect himself from the blast. He then creates an Ice Make: Geyser to reach up to Bickslow who jumps off the hoop onto his babies and escapes being frozen in the ice.
"Well this is certainly interesting," says Luna to Ginny. "Yea, they're so… powerful; I can't even describe it," Ginny replies in complete awe of what she sees before her. After a half an hour, no one had been knocked out. "Brats, you're holding back. The others did it and you're doing it too. And again, this isn't supposed to be a one on one fight!"
The members acknowledge their master before preparing for the next part of the battle. Suddenly, Bickslow's mask is off and he's looking into Freed's eyes. "He took off his mask," said Pansy, "but why are his eyes glowing?" When his eyes start glowing, Harry's scar, started to hurt, but he barely felt it from the excitement he received from watching the fight in front of him. Suddenly Freed's eyes glowed green too, and Bickslow stuck out his tongue, saying "Go into Darkness Mode Freed." Freed shouted out, "Dark Erciture: Darkness" and his body became that of a dark beasts. "Now go get them," shouted Bickslow from atop his perch. "Is he controlling him?" asked Blaise. "I think so…" answered Draco.
Freed uses his Dark Erciture: Darkness Breath and the tornado of dark magic travels around the field. Lucy calls forth Gemini, has them transform into Happy and then they carry her out of harm's way. Wendy jumps out of the way, and casts her Sky Dragon's Claw, aiming it towards Freed and Bickslow, knocking Freed out, while Bickslow was able to escape atop his babies. Makarov grabbed Freed and took him out of the enchantments as the battle continued. As Freed's attack died out, Cana used her Explosion Cards, sending them towards all of the remaining members. Laxus phased out of the way before chanting, "Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction" towards Bickslow in the air, who rode his babies to the other side of the pitch before using his babies' Baryon Formation, attacking the members on the field. Lucy lands out of harm's way before casting her Urano Metria spell, Laxus transforms into his Lightning body to avoid the attack, Cana covers herself in her cards, which absorbed the magical energy and protected her from the attack. Gajeel retreated into his shadow and Wendy Anomaly Resistance Enchant: Re-raise spell, protecting her from the attack. Bickslow and Gray were knocked out and was then carried out by Makarov's hand.
The Hogwarts students looked at the pitch. Laxus stood in the middle, lighting crackling around him. Lucy had called forth Loke and Capricorn, who were standing on either side of her in her corner of the field. Cana stood in another corner of the field, surrounded by protective cards, with the Fairy Glitter symbol on her arm, ready to attack. Wendy stood in a third corner in her Dragon Slayer: Secret Arts: Sky Drill position. Gajeel was half in shadow and half in body as he watched the final members from the fourth corner of the room. Mavis suddenly called out, "That's time. Good job guys." Everyone immediately relaxed, while Wendy went to take care of Freed, Bickslow, and Gray. After he woke up, Freed glared at Bickslow, "You used your Figure Eyes on me," he said coolly. "Of course I did, Laxus wasn't looking anywhere near my direction as soon as I took my helmet off, and you're the only one who's magic I know enough about to take control over." "I suppose your reasoning is sound." "Yea, but now my helmets broken, Laxus's attack crushed it," he said with a pout. "Well that's good, you need to learn to control your Figure Eyes anyways."
The Hogwarts students watched once again as the Fairies turned from fierce opponents to the best of friends. They watched Bickslow congratulate Lucy on a good job at beating him, "for the third time," added Lucy. Freed acknowledged Wendy's skill with a small smile when she apologized for hurting him. Gajeel laughed as Laxus made a joke about Lucy, who Lucy kicked them both in the face. Exclamations of "Oi Bunny Girl it was just a joke, that hurt," and "Hey Blondie, be careful, you wouldn't want to ruin my handsome face," were heard. Cana laughed as she picked up her bottle of booze and said, "I'm not drunk enough yet," to which all of the members laughed, before going their separate ways.
"They were fighting five minutes ago, how could they possibly be friends now? I mean three of them got knocked unconscious, and the rest of them looked ready to kill before the time was up," asked Hermione incredulously. "Its cause that's how Fairy Tail does things," answered Gajeel as he approached the Golden Trio, Bickslow following close behind. "Yea, if you saw us in real battle, you would know we weren't going all out," added Bickslow. Upon seeing Harry without his mask on, he noticed something extremely strange about Harry's soul. 'I should tell Master this tomorrow; I don't know what it could mean…' "That wasn't going full out?!" exclaimed Harry. "Nah, I mean none of the Dragon Slayer's used their Dragon Slayer's Secret Arts, Lucy dialed back her Urano Metria attack by not using Gemini to enhance the magic power, Gray didn't us his Ice Make: Unlimited technique, Freed didn't use his Dark Erciture: Spell, Cana didn't use Fairy Glitter, and even though I used my Figure Eyes, I only did it lightly, and to a friend, so it wasn't a complete invasion of mind," answered Bickslow calmly. Then Ron seemed to realize something, "Wait, you guys are Slytherins, why are you over here?" "Well I came to get Shorty over here to work on our project, I don't know what Soul Keeper's doin over there." "Soul Keeper, really? And I was just heading back to the castle to go to sleep, in case you forgot, I was one of the one's knocked out." "Gihi, you lost to Bunny Girl, again." "Shut up."
Meanwhile, Lucy had gone up to the gaping Slytherins, followed by Laxus, "What do you guys look so surprised about? We told you our magic's different than yours," said Lucy with a smirk on her face. "Blondie, stop teasing them; different magic doesn't even begin to describe what they just saw," Laxus said, but Lucy noticed the small chuckle and smirk he threw in towards the end. Draco looked at her, "How do you all have so much power? Even the Hufflepuffs…" Lucy just sighed and said, "For you the Hufflepuffs have apparently all been week, the Ravenclaws all bookworms, the Gryffindors all idiots, and the Slytherins all evil. But… Fairy Tail's different. We have different qualities, and we don't really fit a mold; in fact we go out of our way to be our own. That's why for us, Slytherins can be friends with Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws can be powerful. If you were to watch us fight 10 different times, the result would be different each time, because after each fight we grow and change. Fighting isn't just about fighting for us, well maybe for Natsu and Gajeel it is, but they're apes-" "I HEARD THAT BUNNY" "- but just cause we fight and lose once, doesn't mean we'll lose again." Laxus added to her, "Unless its Bix, who seems to keep losing to you Blondie." Lucy laughed as her and him walked away.
Soon after, the 3 Slytherins had left, when Blaise realized something, "Wasn't that the Slytherin TEACHER with the hot blonde?" Pansy said, "Yea, what about it?" "The teachers and students at that school are bloody close then, cause all of the teachers and students were laughing and joking around with each other. Not to mention the fact that all the students were keeping up with the teachers." Pansy said, "Yea that's true, but the teachers could have been holding back, plus its not entirely weird for students to be close to teachers." "Yea, you're right, I'm just tired and overthinking things." Draco was in his own world during this conversation, thinking about what he saw, 'How am I supposed to tell my dad without him thinking I'm crazy. I'll just tell him. If he doesn't believe it, that's his fault.'
I was so beyond excited to get this chapter done and uploaded. Hope all of you are still reading! Review and tell me what ya think! :)
