"What is this?" Lucy asks her fingers turning the old fashioned gold key over between her nimble childlike fingers. Her eyes can't quite comprehend what she's holding however the evidence is loud and clear between her hands.

Loke smirks in response the spirit perched lazily against his favourite scratching post otherwise known as Marietta Edgecombe's four poster bed.

"I think you know princess" Loke smirks before pushing his dark shades up his nose.

Lucy grins before wrapping her arms around Loke's neck. the spirit freezes in his spot though slowly allows his arms to awkwardly wrap around her small frame.

"I can't even begin to thank you enough" Lucy whispers.

Loke smiles before lowering his young master back down to the ground.

"Just do me a favour and don't go using it anytime soon" the spirit says sincerely, her emerald green eyes never leaving Lucy's own.

Lucy flashes the spirit a comforting smile, she raised her free hand to gently rest against his cheek which has his stern expression softening. She knows he's only trying to protect her, his actions cautious of her over exerting herself however a part of Lucy wants to prove she's strong...as strong as she used to be.

"I need you to trust me" Lucy says her voice barely a whisper.

Loke sighs, the spirit lowering his gaze to the ground before giving a slow reluctant nod "But at the first sign of fatigue you send her back" Loke says sternly which has Lucy rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"You understand Lucy…." Loke says his fingers moving to gently cup Lucy's chin and lift her face level to his own. "You have nothing to prove." Loke says with a smile.

Lucy nods, taking a breath she outstretches her hand holding the key and shouts

"Open gate of the maiden: Virgo!"

Only to be met with silence.

"Does it usually take this long?" Loke asks with worry.

Lucy sighs before placing the key on the ground.

"No not usually- kyaa!" she says before falling back onto her rear at of sight of bright yellowish white light burst from the key and engulfs the entire room.

Both Lucy and Loke are temporarily blinded as the light fills the room, with Lucy having to cover her eyes due its intensity.

However once the light fades Lucy's eyes widen at the sight of a small house elf with light gray skin and large blue eyes.

"Dobby?!" Lucy asks with disbelief, her eyes trail down to the strange outfit the house elf is wearing- a black dress with puffy sleeves and a laced hem. Though Lucy knows her house elf is indeed strange she can't understand just why he's in a dress.

"Your house elf?" Loke asks with confusion, the spirit quirking a brow at the sight of the small creature.

The house elf shakes it's head and it's then Lucy realises her mistake, whereas both elves share the same blue irises, this elf's are a slanted cat like shape in comparison to Dobby's large rounded orbs and not framed by thick dark lashes.

"Is it punishment time Princess?" the elf asks in a voice Lucy knows all too well.

"Virgo!" Lucy cries out in relief.

"What's with this new form" Loke asks with a raised brow. "Trying to become travel size?"

Virgo shakes her head, her large ears flap against the grayish skin of her head.

"I can change my form to suit my masters tastes" She states before glancing down at her current state "Apparently Princess likes me smaller"

Lucy smiles "I kinda miss your old form...if you don't mind changing that is?" Lucy asks sweetly.

Virgo nods and Lucy has to remind herself again that she isn't her beloved house elf but her crazy maid spirit. with a flash of yellowish white light Virgo stretches, her grey skin turning paler and limbs growing longer until she's stood as a curvaceous pink haired teenager clad in a maid get up.

"Is this better princess or does it deserve punishment?" Virgo asks with a frown.

Lucy sighs loudly "I really missed that" Lucy says with a smile though her head starts to spin as she suddenly begins getting very tired.

Loke smiles however it quickly fades as his young master starts to sway.

"Lucy?" Loke asks with worry, his eyes widen as lucy's eyes roll to the back of her head and she starts falls backwards. with sharp reflexes the spirit easily catches her small limp frame in his arms and gently placed her on her four poster bed

"Shes exerted herself" Loke mutters with a shake of his head "I shouldn't have allowed this...if anything happened-"

"Princess isn't karen, Loke" Virgo states her gaze never leaving the small sleeping form of her master.

Loke stiffens at the name of his late master, he turns away from his fellow spirit before leaning back against the post of Marietta's bed.

"I never said that"

Virgo hums in response, she gently brushes Lucy's overgrown bangs away from her face before turning back to Loke.

"You didn't need to I can see it the way you look at her" Virgo says blunty. "She's kinder, smarter and stronger you just need to be patient"

Loke shakes his head, he knows that Virgo's words don't stray from the truth for he's witnessed large outbursts of Lucy's power for himself. She's a capable witch with the determination to match however Loke knows that determination and capability isn't enough. Lucy's new body just wasn't accustomed to summoning multiple spirits. It's just too dangerous.

"Lucy isn't Karen" Virgo's reminds him once more.

Loke scoffs the spirit disappearing in a bright flash of yellowish white light and leaving Virgo alone with the still sleeping Lucy.

Virgo nods sadly, the maid spirit watching the peaceful form of her young master. The spirit picks up her own key before gently placing it against Lucy's sleeping form and in a flash of yellowish white light she's gone.

XOXO

"Explain yourself" a woman with a thick French accent asks with a scowl.

Lisanna shifts uncomfortable under her deputy headmistress glare, a woman with an upturned nose and sunken eyes which bore into her small frame...she really is a scary sight.

"I..it was an accident" Lisanna says her voice barely a whisper as her small nimble fingers twist into the hem of her pristine baby blue robes.

Deputy headmistress Madam Delphine scoffs at the statement, the glasses perched on the edge of her nose further down and her beady blue eyes slide over them to further scrutinise Lisanna.

"You call letting seven winged horses lose across Southern France an accident?" Madam Delphine asks with a hiss "Three of the horses were spotted by muggles!" she exclaims her voice rising to an earsplitting screech which has Lisanna flinching.

"Anyone would have you expelled-!"

the threat hangs heavy in the air before the door to the office swings open and the heavy thud of high heels clacking against the stone ground signifies the arrival of the Beauxbatons headmistress. An elegant half giantess named Madam Maxime.

"Expulsion s a bit… forward No?" Madam Maxime asks in a soft tone thick with her heavy French accent.

madman Delphine use drops, her gaze flickering between a worried lisanna and the smiling headmistress.

"But she violated school rules-" Madam Delphine starts, eyes wide as she features towards the white haired witch "not to mention the statute of secrecy!"

Madam Maxime nods in understanding, her fingers entwined together and neck slightly bent under the low roof of room.

"She is a child" Madam Maxime says softly, she directs a soft smile towards the young witch who blushes a bright shade of red "A child with a gift of communicating with beasts"

"But the trouble this gifted child caused-" Madam Delphine slots with venom

"Was easily dealt with" Madam Maxime states bluntly "This school has a reputation for housing the best wizards and witches, why get rid of such talent when it's presented before you"

lisanna ducks her head at the evil glare Madam Delphine sends her way but to her surprise the beady eyes witch stays silent.

"Very well" Madame Delphine says with a defeated sigh "But you are going to punish her"

Madame Maxime releases a bell like laughter "Oui" She says, the answer fusing Madame Delphine to beam, flashing her yellowed teeth "Miss Strauss you are to clean the winged horse stables for a week-long wundestodd?"

"Oui Madam" Lisanna quickly states before giving a bow.

Clearly not impressed madam selling scowl "Surely giving the girl more time with the beasts isn't a proper punishment...perhaps letting me observe"

madam maxim shakes her head instantly halting the deputy headmistress words "It will teach her control of her gift unless you disagree No?" Madam Maxim asks with a sweet smile

lisanna gulps instantly being reminded of her older sister Miras sweet nature before bursting into a she demon. only madam maxim was no take over mage but a protective head mistress.

"Of course not Madam Maxime" Madam Delphine coos all the while her beady eyes fixed solely on Lisanna. if looks could kill Lisanna was certain she would be dead a thousand times over.

"Magnifique" Madame Maxime declares with a clap of her hands "Mademoiselle Strauss you are dismissed"

"But I'll be keeping a close eye on you and your gift" Madam Delphine adds with a smile which looks the least bit pleasant.

Lisanna gulps and with a quick bow the young witch quickly scurries out of the office eager to get away from the glare of her frightening head mistress. taking care down the spiral staircase of the tower she finally arrives back into the main chateau like building which makes up only one one the hallways of her school.

it's there that she finds a boy with messily spiked inky black hair clad in only a dress shirt and the school's powder blue slacks. Stuck very closely to his side is a girl with light brown hair curled tightly at the base and ocean blue eyes which widen at tce sight of lisanna.

"We heard what happened" The brunette says with a smile.

The boy nods with a grin "So you finally got back your magic Lisanna"

Lisanna blushes "Yeah but now I have detention and Madam Delphine on my case" Lisanna says with a sigh.

Juvia frowns mention of the name "That woman has some nerve…" Juvia says with a scowl.

lisanna nods in understanding, remembering back to the beginning of term where madam Delphine had banned Gray and Juvia from being in the same class due the pair being too close . As a result poor Juvia had plunged into a despair and causes all the schools pipes to burst and flood the school.

the act had been dismissed as a bout of powerful accidental magic however the three former fairy tail mages knew it was Juvia's earthland magic becoming unlocked.

"Looks as if we've all got our old magic back" Gray says with a smirk and as if to prove his point outstretches his hand to create the fairy tail guild mark completely out of ice.

"Show off" Lisanna says before shifting to her cat form, ears sprout from the top of her head and her hands morph and shape to paws decked with claws

Juvia laughs at the display before turning her body completely into water with a wide grin.

"It feels good like this" she states with a content sigh "Like I'm myself again'

lisanna nods before turning back to her human form "The only thing that would make it better would be to have everyone else back" Lisanna states sadly.

Juvia shoots her friend a sympathetic look, "I'm sure we'll find them"

Gray nods "Mira and Elfman are strong they're probably finding a way to get to you as we speak" Gray states with a determined grin.

Lisanna gives a soft smile "You really think so?" she asks, her voice sounding childlike to her ears and reminiscent of her now eleven year old body.

Gray nods and Juvia gives a reassuring smile

"Of course Mira is S-Class and Elfman well he's the man"

lisanna giggles before dramatically placing her hands on her hips in a typical hero's pose "It's manly to believe in your family!" she states in her best imitation of her older brother.

Juvia smiles whilst Gray laughs at the display.

"That's it Liss" Gray says with a smile.

Lisanna smiles before eagerly wrapping her arms around her two friends in a tight embrace.

XOXO

Back in the Hogwarts castle a young Lucy Heartfilia who otherwise is known by her peers as Celeste Malfoy has absolutely no one to embrace. For she is alone.

With her usual friends Cho and Marietta opting to watch the Ravenclaw quidditch team train and Loke refusing her calls to the human world, the celestial mage is left to her own devices to study.

With her borrowed library books in hand her large grey eyes flicker around the darkened corridors which leads to the potions class rooms.

It's there that she spots Marcus Flint, a fourth year and a son of one of her father's friends accompanied by a boy with dark brown hair cut crudely by his jaw.

"Malfoy" Marcus says with a smile which flashes all his crooked teeth.

"Hello Marcus" Lucy muttered reluctantly, Marcus opens his mouth to say something else when the loud laughter of Fred And George Weasley interrupts him.

Lucy watched as the pair run past Marcus barging into his arm and causing the older boy to stumble backwards

"-Watch it blood traitors!" Marcus snaps.

Her brows rise at the unfamiliar word however it instantly causes both Fred and George to scowl.

"Whatever troll face!" Fred shouts back which has George grinning.

"Why don't you just crawl back to whatever cave you came from- and take your teeth too!" George adds with a grin

Marcus scowl in response, his face turning a very unflattering red shade as he grasps a hold of his wand and points it towards the twins threatenly.

"You blood traitors are going to pay- Expelliarmus!" Marcus shouts out as he madly swings his wand towards to his opponent, his friend quickly following suit.

Lucy gasps in surprise as fellow first years Fred and George Weasley merely dodge Marcus' poorly aimed hexes with ease and both sporting wide identical grins.

"You have to catch us first, Flint!" Fred shouts with a grin before shooting "Tarrentangula!"

Lucy giggles at the sight of Marcus' legs wildly wiggling about whilst the fourth year shouts out in protest.

"Professor Snape!" Marcus cries out in relief, whilst The potions master gives a raised brow as his robes billow behind him like a cape "Those Gryffindors were hexing us for no reason!"

The potions master merely turns in silence towards the accuses group of students, his hooked nose upturned with distaste.

"Liar!" George cries out at the same time Fred proclaims that "They started it"

"Enough" Professor Snape states with boredom which instantly stops the Gryffindors protests.

"Ask her" Fred cries out as he points towards Lucy, the blonde stood cowering against a wall.

George nods in agreement "She saw the whole thing"

Professor Snape turns his attention to Lucy much to her surprise and instantly poor Lucy wishes that she was part of the wall she was pressing herself against.

"Did you see anything Miss Malfoy?" He asks calmly.

Lucy gulps her gaze flickering towards Marcus Flint.

She knows of she were to agree with the Weasleys her father would be sure to find out and Lucy is very aware of his dislike of the Weasley brood. Not to mention that Marcus is a friend of her family, selling him out would be like selling out her parents...could She do it.

She knows that the twins didn't truly mean any ill intent but with technicalities and a loyalty to her own house Marcus is sort of right.

Lucy lowers her gaze, desperate to ignore the desperate look fred's blue eyes send her.

"No sir" Lucy whispers her voice a quiet whisper.

"Ten points from each house and detention for you two miscreants for hexing in the hallways" Professor Snape declares which causes the first year Gryffindors to erupts in Groans of annoyance.

"Shes lying-!" Fred cries out his voice thick with betrayal as he points accusingly at Lucy.

"Would you like that to be double detention Mr Weasley?" Professor Snape asks icily his tone instantly causing the redhead to scowl.

With his work done Professor Snape swiftly turns away, his black robes once again billowing behind like the dark wings of a vampire bat, all the whole Marcus and Michael smirking at the twins.

"Nice try blood traitors" Marcus taunts with a grin.

Fred scowl in response, his fingers moving towards his wand before George quickly stops him by grabbing a hold of his arm.

"You only got away with it because of Malfoy" Fred snaps, his eyes narrowing as he turns to glare at Lucy "Always knew you were a snake" he adds with a scowl before turning to walk away with George beside him.

Lucy lowers her gaze instantly feeling terrible. "Thanks for that" Marcus states "I'm sure your father will want to hear about this" he adds.

"He would?" Lucy asks with worry.

Marcus nods before flashing a smile which displays all his misshapen and crooked teeth.

"Of course" Marcus starts "He'll want to hear about how his daughter stood up to blood traitors like those Weasleys" Marcus states with a grin.

Lucy stands numb even as Marcus walks off leaving her alone. All the while the word blood traitor spinning through her mind and filling her mouth with a foul taste.

Pushing all feelings of hurt aside Lucy convinces herself that what she did was out of loyalty to her family however why does she feel a horrible sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.

XOXO

It's a week later when Lucy finds herself in her Astronomy class with the Slytherins.

She'd taken care to not only avoid the twins but also any and all Gryffindors completely which sadly and ultimately meant training sessions with Angelina were on hold.

It turns out to be much easier than anticipated since the amount of classes the Ravenclaws share with the Gryffindors is minimal and this reduces encounters to snide remarks in the hallways from the proud lions and lionesses.

Not only was she now known as 'public enemy number one' to the Gryffindors and a legend to the Slytherins but her father had openly written to her congratulating her 'efforts' for teaching unruly students a lesson.

A part of Lucy was ecstatic to receive approval from her doting father but the other part was conflicted knowing that what she did was wrong.

But with no one truly hurt was what she did such a crime?

Currently sat at next to her is her partner Patricia Stimpson a girl with pretty golden blonde hair and a tall willowy frame.

Out of all the Slytherins Lucy's remains the closest with her due to their parents being close friends. Not many of her parents friends had daughters Lucy's own age, most of them being too young to truly play with such as Daphne Greengrass and Pansy Parkinson both being the same age as her younger brother.

"I still can't believe that you got those Weasleys into detention" Patricia says with awe. though Lucy doesn't miss the way she says their name with such hatred even she shivers on the spot.

"Why does everyone keep talking about it?" Lucy asks with worry.

Patricia scoffs "Because Dumbledore lets those two get away with murder" She says with a frown "Those blood traitors had it coming"

there it was again. that horrid word which leaves a foul taste in Lucy's mouth - blood traitor.

"What does it mean?" Lucy asks with confusion.

Patricia quirks a brow "Blood traitor" Lucy states through to her confusion Patricia quickly shakes her head.

"Are you mad Malfoy?" Patricia asks in disbelief "Sinatra will give you detention for that so keep it down"

"But what does it mean?" Lucy asks with worry "Marcus called the Weasley twins that word and they got angry...us it some sort of insult?"

Patricia nods, her gaze flickering towards their professor who's slightly bent over the desk of two striggekinf Slytherins.

"You and I are pure bloods" Patricia states gesturing between herself and Lucy for good measure "But good traitors are purebloods like the Weasleys who are just...different"

Lucy frowns at the explanation, though as she recalls her encounters with the Weasleys brood that were a little well odd. Charlie was obsessed with dragons which didn't even talk and then there was Fred who's personality seemed to form a complete wronski feint at the sight of her.

"My dad works in the ministry" Patricia says with a whisper eyes never leaving her star chart as she circles various bright stars of the northern sky "He says that Mr Weasley collects muggle objects- magic and muggles don't mix!" patraixa states, her voice rising as if the very action was a personal attack.

"He collects objects Patricia" Lucy states bluntly her thoughts flickering back to Natsu, her best friend who collected objects from every job they went on. perhaps Mr Weasley like Natsu was creating memories.

"Muggle objects, Celeste" Patricia corrects "It's not normal"

"How do we even know what's normal" Lucy says, her gaze flickering to cloudy horizon through the outside window as if recalling a tale Patrica can't quite see "for you know normal could mean men who can breathe fire like dragons, women with the power of a thousand knights and...and talking cats!" Lucy says with a wide smile.

her eyes wide as she watches the clouds drift past recalling the many adventures, battles and laughs she had with her friends. Wasn't that her normality.

If anything wands, magic schools and talking portraits...they were what was weird.

"Everyone has a different idea of normal Patricia" Lucy continues with a fond smile "Who are we to judge"

patricia double blinks, jaw slack as she watches lucy smile to herself before turning back to her star chart.

"Definitely a Ravenclaw…" The Slytherin mutters with a shake of her head before turning back to her own work.

The pair work in silence, drawing out star maps- a task that Lucy herself has become accustomed to.

"You've already fished?!" Patricia asks in disbelief.

Lucy blushes before turning to the next task, translating the stars Greek names into English.

"My mother's side has a tradition of being named after stars so we have to learn about the meaning behind our ancestors"

Patricia pouts "How fun" she says with a laugh. she reaches out to point to one of the stars on Lucy's star chart- the brightest star.

What's that one?" Patricia asks "I can't name it"

"The bright one?" Lucy asks her gaze never leaving her textbook

"Yeah the one that's next to Orion" Patricia says with a frown.

Lucy nods "Sirius- the brightest star" Lucy recites remembering the countless times she's had to name it.

Patricia eyes widen before her jaw drops "Like Sirius Black?" she asks he voice a low whisper.

Lucy lowers her textbook, her brow raised as she states at her friend in confusion.

"Who?" Lucy asks with a frown.

"Sirius black he's You-Know

-Who's biggest supporter...or He was until he killed this other wizard and a bunch of muggles" Patricia adds her eyes wide with childlike wonder one would exploit when telling a bedtime story and not recalling a homicide.

"Now he's locked away in Azkaban" Patricia says her eyes narrowing as she glances from the map towards Lucy.

"He has a star name too" Lucy mutters with shock.

Patricia nods "People would probably think you were related to a murderer or something"

Lucy lowers her gaze, thoughts flying to her father a man who at one time served a murderer who had served you know who. But he never wanted to not like Sirius he killed innocent muggles on his own accord...isn't that worse?

"Or something" Lucy mutters her gaze flickering to the star chart once more, mind racing as she once again was faced with questions of her family.

A/N Time:

omg so I'm so sorry about the delay. But I'm just throwing it out there that this is the longest chappie I've written though don't expect chapters of this length frequently.

I really wanted a Lisanna POV for this chapter but every time I wrote one I wasn't happy so it was the case of rewriting until I was.

So I know people might be angry at Lucy's decision but I think she just didn't want any trouble but this only resulted in Fred well hating her :(

Let me know what you think!
