Enjoy!

Harry ran as fast as he could through the burning forest. He looked around, thinking this looked too familiar. He leapt aver a fallen amber tree, and continued his chase. He could see them. There they were! The four figures again, walking slowly away from him. He yelled out to them to wait, demanding to know who they are. But they didn't turn or flinch to his call, as if they didn't hear him. "Hey! I said HEY!" He yelled.

Harry kept running towards them, but for some reason couldn't catch up to them. He ran faster and faster, determined to catch up to them this time. He called out one more time, reaching out for them. But as he did, a fire phoenix erupted from the flames, flying Harry back, his back skidding in the dirt.

As he scrambled up, he saw the four figures standing in front of the flaming bird, looking at him. Harry panted, staring at them before calling out one last time, saying he won't leave until he knew what they wanted. The four figures said nothing, then one of them stepped forward. As the figure extended their hand, the same hand that extended to him exactly like last time. Harry looked down, seeing ten golden keys with a few silver keys dangling from her belt. His eye caught one of the keys, one of the signs on the key catching his eye.

"Who are you….?" Harry asked.

"Harry….. Do you trust us?" She asked.

Harry looked at her hand, then looked at her hidden face. "Do you trust us?" She repeated again, the heat of the fire scorching Harry's skin. "How can I….?" Harry asked looking up from her hand. "If I don't know who you are…?" He finished.

"Because we are…."

He shot open his eyes, his bodies aching in pain, shivering from the cold. He forced himself up slowly, putting his hands in front of his eyes. The same exact dream from last year…. "You're awake…." A kind voice smiled from behind the curtain. Harry looked to the side, noticing Professor Marvel walking in, beside her, her white cat. "Professor Marvel…. Aren't you supposed to be teaching a class right now?" Harry asked, wincing a bit, Charla leaping up onto the bed. "I am, but Dumbledore asked me to take care of you. Madam Pomfrey is taking my class at the moment." Wendy explained smiling and took a seat. She took out her wand and pointed it at his arm that looked the most injured.

Harry looked around the room, most of his friends had left from when he woke up before. He looked to his right, his precious Nimbus 2000…. In splinters and broken. He sighed, thinking back to when his friends visited.

"Who won the game?" Hermione's eyes looked pitiful, indicating something did happen. Something that Harry didn't wish true. "No one blames you Harry. The Dementors aren't supposed to be around that area during that time…. Dumbledore was furious…" Harry nodded, looking down in defeat. "And sorry Harry…. But your broom flew into the Whomping Willow and well…" Harry sighed, Ron putting the broom down next to him. "Harry, are you alright?" Neville asked. "Well… as I fell…. I swore I saw angels in white cloaks…." Harry explained, rubbing his head. Everyone looked at each other, confused at what he said. "Angels?" Seamus repeated. "In white cloaks?" The twins confirmed. "I think, I don't know…" Harry muttered. "...Maybe you should rest a bit more. We'll get out of your head." Hermione decided, standing up. "Yeah. We'll talk later."

"So what happened?" Wendy asked, snapping Harry out of his memory. "O-Oh! Well….. I was chasing the Snitch, then a Dementor attacked me…. I was falling and then I think…. I felt like I was slowing down and I swear I saw angels…" Harry recalled. Wendy and Charla immediately looked up at the mere mention of angels. "Really? Must have been close to death." Wendy sighed. "What do you mean?" Harry asked, a bit confused. "Well, some say that when you're on the brink of death they see angels." Wendy explained, looking back at the wound.

Harry looked down, thinking about the angels. "You know…. The boy angels really reminded me of Happy and Gajeel's cat… The blue hair and the scar down the cheek…" Harry muttered. "But the girl with white hair…. I had never seen her before…." He thought out loud. Charla looked up at Harry, her body curled up like a cat. Harry smirked and stroked her head, Charla not resisting by the looks of it. "But it can't be them…. I don't think there's transformation magic powerful enough to not even transform into a mix of two creatures…." He thought, Charla's silky fur stroking against his hand.

"This is humiliating! Why am I letting him do this?! I just saved his life, I should be treated better than this!" She thought, grumbling as she turned away from Harry. "Seems your cat doesn't like me…" Harry chuckled, taking his hand away. "She's like that to everyone. Don't worry about it." Wendy smiled.

There was awkward silence between the two for a while. Harry didn't exactly know what to say as he never talked to Professor Marvel outside Healing Class. "There we are." Wendy smiled, indicating she was finished. She wrapped the injured arm with an ointment soaked rag which stang Harry's open wounds a bit. "Make sure you rest alright?" Wendy reminded, giving him a sweet smile. "Y-Yes Professor…" Harry nodded. Wendy smiled, standing up to exit. Charla leaped off the bed following her partner. "Bye Charla." Harry smiled, waving at the pure white cat. Charla turned around giving Harry a steel eye, before turning away in a huff and walking after Wendy. Harry gave a sigh, a bit disappointed that Charla didn't like him. Well, to be fair, Charla always looked grumpy in the class.

Harry forced himself back down again, staring at the ceiling. He thought about the dream that he had, remembering one of the keys had the symbol of Leo the Lion. He then remembered during his battle between him and Quibble last year, the girl called upon Leo the Lion. He put his hand in the air, opening it and closing it, softly singing a song he made up on the spot. "Leo, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Capricorn, Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer, Sagittarius, Libra, Pisces, and…." Harry's brain suddenly pinged.

"Virgo? Yeah, she's Lucy's maid."

"Does that mean….? Lucy is…!"

"Harry!" Harry gasped and jumped a bit. He looked to the side, Lucy walking in. "L-Lucy…." He nodded, sitting up a bit. "Don't force yourself Harry. You had quite the fall." Lucy said, taking a seat. Harry nodded, scanning Lucy's body up and down. "Hm? Is something wrong?" She asked. "Huh? Oh nothing…." Harry muttered, looking away. "No, that lady's body is way too mature… Lucy's body is nothing close to hers…"

"So Lucy… out of curiosity…." Lucy smiled, tilting her head for the question. "Do you have any older siblings?" Harry asked. "Hm? No, I'm an only child…." She replied, curious to why Harry asked that. "I-I see…" Harry stuttered a bit baffled. "Why do you ask?" She asked. "Just curious." Harry smiled. Lucy blinked, then smiled. "Alright then." She stood up, placing a scroll in his hand. "These are the notes for Deviation. Since you'll be in here for a while, I made a short list of what we'll be covering later today." She smiled. "Thanks." Harry smiled, before Lucy walked away.

Harry looked at the scroll, tightening his grip on it. His brain began to turn. At the end of the first year, Lucy seemed to hide injuries when she was visiting Harry in the first year, seemingly in the same spots as that girl was who was fighting to protect the Philosopher's Stone. She's an only child with a maid named Virgo. She wore gloves all the time, maybe hiding something on her hands. As for the sudden growth, could be simple transformation magic….

Lucy Heartfilia…. Erza Scarlet… Natsu Dragneel….. All of them had suspicious behaviours. He knew not to think about it now as his problems were much bigger, but still….. Figures in white, otherly world magic, now Angels in the same cloaks as those figures. It was at that point now.

That this could not be ignored any longer.
