Lucy, Gray, Natsu and Gajeel sat together, away from everyone else during their free study period. Unbenounced to them, their roommates crowded at the entrance of the room, spying on them. "So… what do you think they're afraid of?" Ron asked, not tearing his eyes away from them. Natsu visibly sighed, putting his quill on top of his lip and puckered. Lucy looked at him, her facial expressions looking annoyed. He said something to her before holding his quill again, reaching over the table.

"Must be something big. Since they refused to participate with the Boggart." Zach whispered. "I wonder if they share the same fear…" Padma muttered, pushing a bit on Neville. "I doubt it. Besides Natsu and Lucy, they don't know each other." Semus chimed in. "Even so, Lucy said she and Natsu never met until the first year of Hogwarts." Harry said.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone turned around, seeing Ron's brothers walk up to them. "W-We were just wondering what Natsu and the others are afraid of…" Ernie admitted, pointing to the other room where the four Fairies were sitting.

George and Fred walked around the large group and peeped into the room, the four of them bickering about something probably stupid.

"Why do you want to know what they're afraid of?" Fred asked, looking at the group. "W-Well, we were learning about boggarts and we needed to practice the spell. And they flat out refused to take part. So we're just curious of what they're afraid of now…." Justin admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Fred looked back, watching the four now having a physical tug.

"What the hell's your deal you icey bastard?!"

"What was that lava brain?!"

"Give me back my stuff Salamander!"

"Will you three knock it off already?!"

The people outside watching them groaned a bit, watching them fight for probably the twentieth time this month. "Hmmm…. Aaaah…" The twins gasped, looking at each other with a mischievous twinkle in their eye. "Okay, how about this?" The twins asked, turning to the spying group. Everyone tilted their heads and looked at each other. "How about…" Fred began. "A little game?" George ended.

"The Let's-Find-Out-What-They're-Afraid-Of Game!" The twins chanted in unison. "What?" Everyone gawked. "The first house who can find out what they're afraid of…" George sang. "Will have the authority to do whatever they want to the other houses." Fred finished.

"What?" Cho gawked, a bit appalled by this suggestion. "You sure that's a good idea? I mean… we should respect their privacy and all…." Neville muttered. "But it'll be fun!" The twins argued. Everyone stayed silent for a bit. They looked at each other, then back at the four now Natsu, Gajeel and Gray on the floor knocked out with multiple bumps on their head, Lucy furiously writing in her book, steam puffing from her head. They looked at each other again, then back of the twins.

Their eyes showed it. Their curiosity had gotten the better of them.

The twins gave a smirk, and declared who would be the first to find out all their fears would be the winners. "Let the games begin!"

Later that day, the Gryffindors lazed around in the main area of the common room. Natsu layed down on the couch, tossing a ball up and down in the air. Semus, Ron, Neville, and Harry sat in the corner table, staring at him with a hum.

"...Soooo Natsu…." Semus began. "Hm? What's up?" Natsu asked, sitting up and tossing the ball between his hands. "We were just wondering…. What are you afraid of?" Semus asked. "What am I… afraid of…?" Natsu repeated. His eyes jerked opened, flashing back to Tenrou Island. That black and blue monster's roar calling out in his mind, before a beam of blue fired into his eyes.

"Natsu…. NATSU!"

Natsu snapped back into reality, blinking at his room mates, who were now in front of his face. Harry's hand was on his shoulder, shaking him gently. "Are you alright? You zoned out for a bit…" Neville asked, a bit concerned.

"Ah….hahaha….Ahahahahahahahaha!" Natsu bursted out laughing, shocking his four room mates. "I'm not afraid of anything. Why do you ask?" Natsu asked with an unconcerned smile. "W-Well in DADA, you didn't want to participate in the boggart repelling activity…. And just then you seemed in a state of shock. Like you remembered something…" Semus stuttered. Natsu just chuckled and stood up. "Well, I have to meet up with Lucy. I'll catch you guys later." Natsu smiled, heading towards the door. "Y-Yeah…." The other boys nodded, watching Natsu leave.

"...Okay, now I'm curious…." Ron muttered. The four boys looked at each other, thinking. "...First one to get Happy to spill gets everyone's dinner sharings!" Ron exclaimed, running up the stairs. Semus gasped, pulling his robe causing Ron to fall. As he did, Seamus tumbled over him, getting up the stairs first. Neville and Harry followed behind, the four boys tugging at each other trying to get to the dorm first.

As they ran up, Happy yawned sitting up from his comfy hiding spot, pushing the pillow covering his entire body. He rubbed his eyes with his paw, looking at the four clammering up the stairs. "What are they doing…" Happy yawned, spreading his wings. He flew to the window, shoving it opened. "I might go nap in the sun…" He muttered, flying down in a daze.

Gray hummed walking to his next class, his mind in a daze. His three roommates peeped behind the column, watching him walk down the hallway. Ernie knocked Justin on the chest, Justin nodding as he took out his wand. Zach and Ernie looked at each other and nodded. They both emerged from their hiding place, and ran in front of Gray.

"Hey Gray!" Ernie smiled, placing a hand on on Gray's chest, stopping him. "Hey you two…." Gray muttered, darting his eyes between Ernie and Zach. "So we've been meaning to ask…. Why did you not take part in the boggart exercise? Are you afraid of anything?" Zach asked. "Huh?" Gray gawked. "I hope this works…." Justin muttered, raising his wand. "Why do you-"

"Legilimens!" Justin chanted, pointing at Gray.

Suddenly Justin's mind went into a void. His mind suddenly transported him to a village in ruins. People were screaming, fire and rubble everywhere. He was running through, arms swinging and he was panting. "W-Where am I….? What is this…?!" He thought, running through the apocalyptic area.

"Mom! Dad! Where are you?!" His voice rang out. "Wait… was that me who said that?! Wait…. Am I…. Gray….?" Justin gasped. He turned a corner, seeing a man on the ground, blood running down his head. His eyes opened and blank. "DAD!" Justin screamed, kneeling down, shaking the man. "Dad…? This is Gray's father…?" Justin thought, shaking the man.

ROAAAAAR!

Gray's memory lead Justin to look up. Justin gasped, his eyes widened. A monster walked over them, kicking a building down. He gave a roar, as Justin could feel tears running down his face. The fear in his chest… He didn't know if it was Gray's or his own. "What is that thing….?!" Justin gasped. "Is this…. What Gray is afraid of?!" He jittered.

"...No….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gray cried out, before his mind went blank.

"...Don't cry Gray…."

Justin's eyes opened, as he floated in darkness in Gray's child body.

"Deliora is gone…. Do not cry…."

The darkness slowly turned into a bright light, a beautiful woman with short black hair bending over, extending her hand. "I have gotten rid of him forever. You have no need to cry…" She smiled. "B-But Ur… I…." Gray cried, hugging his knees looking down. "Do not cry…. He is gone. You saved my daughter and Leon. You have done more than enough…. Gray…." The woman smiled. Gray looked up, extending his hand. But before he could grab it, another ferocious roar came from behind him.

Justin uncontrollably turned around, and gasped. There stood a tall black dragon with white eyes and blue patterns on his body. "W-What the…?!" Justin gasped.

"RUN!" Justin heard a cry, before his feet carried him down a path, nothing in front of him. He looked back, catching a glimpse of a buff man with a lightning scar, a man with silver hair and a young girl with silver hair, both looking a bit like Professor Strauss, and a woman with aqua hair. The dragon roared, wind rooting up trees and blowing everyone away.

Everyone screamed, being caught by the wind. "Gray-sama!" The woman in the aqua hair called out, reaching for him. "JUVIA!" A deeper voice called out from Justin's vision, an adult male hand reaching out for the woman.

Suddenly it all stopped. Justin blinked, looking around. He was back in Hogwarts. Gray waved to Ernie and Zach, both of them waving back. As soon as Gray disappeared from their sights, Ernie and Zach rushed to Justin, still in a daze. "Justin! Did you see anything?" Zach asked, smiling.

Justin stood there, then collapsed. "J-Justine?!" Ernie gasped. "Hey Justine! Are you alright?! What happened?! What did you see?!" Zach asked, catching him in time. "Justin?! JUSTIN!" And with that, Justin's vision went black.

"Justin! Justin!" The boys cried.

"...Hey, what the hell happened to him?"

The two boys turned around, Gajeel standing there with a hand on his hip. "G-Gajeel…!" The boys gasped, unable to move. Gajeel rushed over to him, kneeling down. He felt Justin's forehead, drenched in sweat. He gave a hum, and stood up. He picked up Justin's body and put him on his shoulders and back. "I'll take him to the infirmary. You two get to class." He said with a cold tone, walking away. The two boys looked at each other again, wondering what Justin had seen.

Later in the Infirmary

"So… he saw Gray's memories…?" Wendy asked, worried as she looked at Justin resting on the bed. "Yeah. I saw him cast the charm on Gray. I was curious on what that charm was, so I looked it up in one of my books. And when I found out, I had to do something. Luckily he passed out, making it easier to take him here." Gajeel explained, looking down at Justine.

"I see…. Well then, what should we do?" Erza asked, looking at the two old men across the room. "Hm…." Makarov hummed, then looked at Dumbledore. "It's your student and your mission to us. What do you think is best?" Makarov asked. Dumbledore hummed, walking to Justin's side. "... We will remove his memories." Dumbledore decided.

"Are you sure sir?" Levy asked. "Is it wise to meddle in one's memory?" Mira asked. "Do not worry. I will store this memory. I know they'll find out the truth eventually, but we must protect the students for as long as we can so they will not be exposed to danger." Dumbledore explained. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Justin's side of his head. He twisted the wand and pulled back. As he did, a blue stream flowed out of his brain.

"Is that the memory…?" Erza gasped. "Yes." Dumbledore replied, and stored the memory in a beautiful crystal vile. "He should be safe. For now." Dumbledore nodded. "Thank goodness… I don't want to see the students suffer just because they know us…." Wendy smiled, relieved. "Although…. There's a part of me that wants to tell them… they are our friends… and I don't want to hide these secrets any longer…. And I feel the others feel that way too…." Gajeel admitted.

Everyone stayed silent, and looked down. A soft hand was placed on his shoulder, Gajeel looking up. "We will tell them one day. But not now. As we are still figuring out who to trust." Dumbledore smiled. Gajeel stayed silent, then looked down again. "For now, continue your day like normal. Have a good day." Dumbledore bowed, and walked out, tucking the vile in his sleeve.

"...Gajeel, you should get to class." Erza reminded him. "Huh? Oh… yeah…." Gajeel nodded, and left for his class. "I wonder why did Justine have a sudden interest in Gray's past?" Wendy wondered. The teachers hummed, looking at Justine. "I hope no one else found out…" Erza muttered.

Lucy sat at the table in the Main Hall, scribbling down a few notes in her book. She hummed, dipping her quill in the inkwell.

SLAM!

Lucy jumped a bit, looking up. There sat Cho and Padma, leaning their faces on their fists, elbows propped up on a pile of books. "W-What's all that?" Lucy sweatdropped, looking at the pile of books. "Just some old books we found." Padma stated, slamming her palm on top of the pile. "Wanna take a look?" Cho asked, handing her a book.

"Uh… sure….?" Lucy said, a bit unsure as she took the book. She opened the book, and her face turned to flat out confused. "Guah?" She gawked, eye and mouth twitching and her upper face turned blue.

"W-Why the hell are you showing me this?!" She exclaimed, turning the book around pointing to her roommates the picture. What it was was a man strapped to a table, his entrails pulled out by a man in a crow mask and a cloak. It was very… attentive to detail.

"It's a book about the Dark History of Magic. I thought it would be useful." Cho said with no remorse of what she showed Lucy. "What?!" Lucy exclaimed. "More annoyed than scared…" Padma thought. "Maybe this book?" She suggested, grabbing the book Lucy was holding and slipping another book into her hands. "Uh….." Lucy hummed, slowly opening up the book. There was a giant spider staring at Lucy in the face.

"...Why are you showing me this?" Lucy asked, blandly looking up. "We just thought we'd help you find some good reading materials is all. Hey! How about this?" Cho asked, picking up a Muggle book and opened a page to a scary clown under the subject of "Muggle Birthdays."

"How is this good reading material?!" Lucy exclaimed, a tick mark on the back of her head. "Hm…" Padma hummed, picking up a red leather book with a Dragon indented on the leather. She opened it to a random page, and showed it to Lucy. "Hey, look at this dragon! Isn't this a cool one?" She asked, pointing at a red dragon. "Uh… I guess…?" Lucy muttered. "What about this one?" Padma asked, turning the page to a beautiful eastern dragon. "It's pretty I guess…" Lucy admitted. "What about this one?" Padma asked, turning the page again.

"Huh? What are you two-" She started to scold her roommates, then she looked at the picture. It was a black dragon with blue patterns on its body. She gasped, and fell off her chair as her lips quivered. "Lucy? Are you alright?" Cho asked, a bit shocked of Lucy's sudden fall. Her eyes were blank, lips slightly opened. "Lucy?" Padma gasped. "A….. Acno….." She stuttered. "Acno?" The girls repeated, confused. Lucy gasped and stood up, patting her uniform down. "I-I'm sorry. I have to go meet Natsu now." She said, packing her items in a haste and left without a goodbye.

"That dragon… looked like Acnologia…. But it's not him…. It's not…. The patteren's different, and so are its eyes…. It's not him…. Calm down…. It's not him…" Lucy panted, trying to calm herself down.

Cho and Padma watched her leave, then looked at each other. "So…. she's afraid of dragons….?" Cho asked. "No… she only had a reaction to this one…." Padma muttered, turning the book over to them, looking at the black and blue dragon. "Why is she so afraid of this dragon…?" Cho wondered, staring into the dragon's white and black eyes. "Hm… don't know. But whatever the reason… It can't be good…." Padma muttered.

Both girls stared at the dragon, imagining what horrible feat Lucy would have to go through….. To make her afraid of a dragon that disappeared four hundred years ago.
