Marvolo's POV
It wasn't long past dawn when his floo flared green. A familiar black haired man stepped through looking like he had spent most of the night in the snow. If Black had been doing something stupid in the snow he didn't want to know.
As he scrutinized the man though he didn't look like he was hungover. In fact he only looked exhausted. So he waved the young man over to hear his story.
Black asked his grey eyes meeting Marvolo's red," My Lord what do you know of elementals?"
That was an odd question for the Black. Normally he would be insulted that the man would come to ask such a question. Most wizards knew that elementals had not been seen since the late 1500's. That had been a young fire elemental who promptly killed himself after accidently killing his family. No other elementals had been seen since. The magic was thought to have died out.
He said interlacing his finger and resting his chin on them," There hasn't been an elemental in 400 years. Why do you ask?"
Black looked thoughtful as he replied," Because this evening I encountered one. A young man no older than 16 with jet black hair and killing curse eyes."
Encountered an elemental. Now the Dark Lord was intrigued. Most of the elementals went insane at a young age. No one was sure exactly why but that's how it happened. If the person Black had encountered was a true elemental they would make a powerful addition to his Death Eaters.
Black was already pulling out the memory and placing it in his nearby pensive. When he came out of it he was contemplative. Black was correct. The elemental had not yet reached his majority. At best he was sixteen. Something he also noticed was the key around the boy's neck. A golden key like one only spoken about in legends.
A zodiac key were some of the rarest magical items on Earth. It was said that only an extremely powerful wizard could activate its magic. One had not been seen since the time of the founders.
He said motioning Black closer to him," I need to call the others."
Black held out his left arm dutifully and allowed Marvolo to use his mark. Soon after a knock came at his study door. Lord Knott and Lucius entered at his call. They bowed low before shooting a questioning glance at Black.
Marvolo said morning for them to take their seats," Regulus has brought some interesting news to me."
He allowed the two men to watch the memory. When they came back out Benjamin said," He has the looks of James Potter. All except for his eyes."
"Those would be Lily Potter's eyes. I went to school with her. Though Severus would better be able to tell. They were close. That magic is worrying though. I have never seen anything like it," Came Lucius cool tone.
Both men looked to their Lord for answers. Marvolo was deep in thought though. Their mysterious elemental could be the missing Potter heir? Interesting.
He remembered that night he had gone to kill the boy. The boy had disappeared in a blinding white light. It had almost been like an aparation without the crack. No child's body had been found. No child had been found at all. They assumed he had died.
Now the question was if this was Potter where had he been? It had been 14 years since that faithful day. If he was alive they should have heard something about him before now. Still without a blood test they couldn't be sure. To get the blood they would need to capture or wound him. Personally he would rather have the boy brought unharmed. He wasn't the boy's enemy since the prophecy was declared a fake.
He said commandingly to Lucius," Take a few Death Eaters and bring the boy back unharmed. Benjamin contact the goblins and have them prepare for an ancestral test."
Both men bowed and waited to be given leave. He turned to Black and commanded," You will show Lucius and the others where you last saw the boy."
Black bowed low and the three men left quickly. Normally days after Halloween were fairly quiet. Somehow he knew it wouldn't be true this year.
Gray's POV
He had spent all night hiding from the crazy wand using wizard. It had been a long night and he had been unable to rest. He was in an unfamiliar area with unknown amount of hostiles. Not to mention the weird looks he was getting about his clothing once he had made his way into town.
For him jeans and a tshirt was normal all year around clothing for him. Sometimes he would wear shorts in the winter. If he got too hot he would strip to his underwear. That never went well in public places.
He stopped at a food shop. Luckily for him he still had some jules in his pocket. Otherwise he would likely go hungry. The woman behind the counter gave him an incredulous look. It was getting old fast. Had these people never seen an ice wizard before? Most ice wizards wore minimal amount of clothing.
He grabbed a water bottle and an energy bar with a name he didn't recognize. Placing them on the counter he pulled out the jules to pay for them. When he handed them to her she gave him a fiery glare.
"What is this young man? Where's the money?"
He blinked in surprise before replying," This is Jules ma'am. It's all I have."
He needed to find the nearest Wizarding guild and start taking requests. Hopefully if he was lucky he could find a way to contact Fairy Tail.
She glared and pushed his money back at him. She said angrily," This is not money. If you're going to pull pranks do it somewhere else."
With that said she forced him to leave her shop. What the hell was the currency here? In Fiore Fire it was jules. Now he was lost and broke.
A rumbling growl escaped him. One he was familiar with that made him pause. Slowly he brought his hand up to the key on his chest. He had to take deep calming breaths. He absolutely could not lose control here. That's what got him in this situation in the first place.
Several loud cracks drew his attention back to reality. Men in black robes stood across the street. One of them he recognized immediately as the man he spent all night avoiding. Where in the hell had they come from? There was no such thing as teleportation magic!
Grey eyes met his green and he swore quietly," Shit!"
He took off in the opposite direction of the men. He wasn't as fast as he had been earlier. Exhaustion had set in. Lack of sleep and earlier use of his magic was draining him. He was weaker her. Part of him wondered if it was because of something the Spirit King did. Or if it was something else. He didn't have time to think on it though as he ran.
Something he noticed though was that unlike before they were not trying to subdue him with magic. They were in a public place. Normally no matter if they were in a public or hidden place wizards subdued with magic. Fairy Tail was a clear indicator of that. Their destructive abilities caused more trouble than they were worth sometimes. Still it was a place he had called home for years. Where he had found someone like him.
A celestrial spirit hiding out with the wizards. They were hiding from what they had done or in his case what he was. Loke was the Light of the Celestrial world. Lupus was the darkness. They made an expected friendship given they were total opposites.
He was drawn from the past when he took a corner only to find it a dead end. Well shit! He turned around only to find the wizards closing in. His body was hot from the run. Too hot to use his ice make magic.
Four men encircled around him. Each having different wands similar to the one Black had. What was with these wizards and using such a basic form of magic? Really their masters should have taught them better.
Cool hair hit him but he paid it no mind. His body was cooling down now and he could use his magic again.
In his ice make stance he said coldly releasing his magical pressure and a magic circle appearing in front of him," Ice Make Lance."
The men had to dodge out of the way of the sharp lances. He didn't waste any time saying," Ice Make floor," his hands slamming down onto the floor.
The concrete turned into a slippery slide. They could barely remain standing. He frowned when he still on my saw four. He could have sworn there was another one. Still he was happy about these guys getting caught up in his magic. They were basic ice make uses. He used them for low ranking missions all the time. Still using it in the state he was in was draining him more and more.
He used the ice to slide past the wizards. Part of him was amused when as he slid past two of the wizards shot red lights at him. Both missed and hit each other. This sent them flying back into the far walls knocking them unconscious. Stupid wand user.
As he slipped back into the street s hand grabbed his bicep. He was roughly slammed into the wall a wand now pointed at his throat. Even though he could easily break the hold he wanted to see what the man wanted. Why go through so much trouble for him? Ice make magic wasn't that rare. It wasn't like the Dragon Slayer magic. Or anything along those lines.
Supposedly he was in another world so they couldn't be after him for being a part of Fairy Tail. So what did they want? He looked up at his captor who was quite a bit taller than him.
The man had long silver blond hair that reminded him of Ezra's armor. His eyes were a mercury color and he had a pale parlour about him. Something about him screamed power. Not just in the magical sense. Interesting. The man reminded him of some of the other guild masters he had come across. At this point Gray was intruiged enough to hear him out. Not the other idiots though. They were fun to mess with.
The man said," My name is Lucius Malfoy. Our Lord requests your presence. Are you going to pull anymore of these stunts? Or will you be good?"
He gave the man his most innocent smile. Such a smile would have put anyone from Fiore on edge. Especially with the tattoo that was on his chest. The pride of Fairy Tail.
The man's grip loosened on him but his wand never wavered. Oh he liked this guy. He was smarter tham the others.
The man said with a glare," Keep your hands at your sides. If you even think about bringing them together again I'll stun you. Do I make myself clear?"
Gray said," I understand. You are an interesting one. Not an idiot like those four."
The man's lips twitched in amusement beyond that he didn't get a reaction. Next the man allowed him to stand away from the wall. His mercury eyes watched him like a hawk. As if expecting him to try another ice make attack.
For the moment Gray was too intruiged to attack. He wanted to find out more about this world. As he stood at his full height the other wizards decided to join them. The two that had been knocked out were back on their feet. Pity. He hoped they would stay down longer. If he wanted go run it would definitely be a battle. One he was not sure he could win as tired and hungry as he was.
To prove his point his stomach let out a loud growl. Using as much magic as he did always made him hungry. Not to mention he hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday.
Lucius raised an eyebrow and asked," When was the last time you ate?"
He replied shortly," Lunch yesterday."
It wasn't like he didn't want to eat. He did. He just didn't have any currency for this world. Lucius motioned him forward. Unwilling to trust the man he stayed where he was.
One of the others growled," What a weird child. Don't you know it's freezing out here. Why would you strip to you underwear?"
Huh? He looked down and said surprised," Damn it! Not again."
Sure enough he was standing there in just his underwear. Well at least Natsu wasn't here to steal that too. More often than not the pink haired boy would steal his underwear in a fight.
With a growl of his own he snatched his shirt and jeans from the man. Bastard didn't understand anything about ice magic. Gray had half the mind to give him another lesson in it.
He was stopped by the one called Lucius who said," Don't antagonize the boy, Yaxley. He's already proven himself smarter than you four."
A faint smile crossed Gray's face. Of course he was smarter than these guys. These guys were morons.
The one called Yaxley grumbled but didn't say anything else. Deciding to find out where he was he asked," Where are we? Obviously I'm not from around here."
"You are in Gordric's Hollow. It's a small town that houses both wizards and muggles," Came the quick reply.
He asked now even more confused," What is a muggle?"
That earned him disbelieving looks from everyone. Was it really that much of a surprise? Were they some kind of creature? Maybe they were like the demon his master had killed.
It was Black who answered him," Muggles are non magical people. We live in separate worlds from them. They don't understand us and would likely try and wipe us out."
Non wizards but they were pretty friendly. Most of the time they helped wizards or made mission requests for them. Why would they wipe out wizards?
He didn't miss the way they were slowly closing the distance around him. If they tried to attack him he would fight back. If it came down to it he would use his key as a last resort.
Lucius noticed the subtle tensing of his muscles. It was his fight or flight instincts kicking in. The blond held up a hand to stop their slow encircling.
He said in a neutral tone," Mr. Fullbuster," Gray's eyes shot over to meet Lucius'" that is your name correct?"
When he nodded the man continued," You caused a magical disturbance last night. You seem to have nowhere to go and no money. Why don't you come with us? We can help you."
The tension increased. Magical disturbance. That must mean the magic the Spirit king used to get him here. He had no way of explaining that. Not without revealing his secret. On top of that they wanted to help not knowing whether or not he was a good wizard. For all they knew he was apart of a dark guild.
Gray asked folding his arms across his chest," Why would you help me? For all you know I could be a killer or a member of one of the dark guilds."
Lucius blinked at him and asked," Dark Guilds? What are you talking about?"
Again? Were there no guilds here? Then how do wizards get work? So many questions that he didn't have answers to.
He said pulling down the collar of his shirt to reveal the guild tattoo," Fairy Tail this is their symbol. One of the Wizard guilds."
Lucius blinked several times. Then said," There are no Wizarding guilds here. There is the Ministry of Magic, the wizengott, and Lord Slytherin. Lord Slytherin is the England's Wizarding worlds ruler. We can talk about this more in a safer spot. Are you coming freely?"
Looking around he knew he had no escape routes. With five wands pointed at him and the wizards blocking his exit he had no chance. On top of having no place to go.
With a deep breath he nodded. Lucius moved closer and took his arm. The man said," We are going to apparate. I have to hold onto you for this."
Hiding his unease he nodded. In the next moment it felt like he was being squeezed through a tube. He couldn't breathe. Then he landed painfully on his feet. The whole world spinning. The only reason he kept his feet was Lucius holding him up.
Looking around he saw they were near a large house. It was almost as large as the guild he called home.
He asked once he was able to stand on his own," What the hell was that? There's no such thing as teleportation magic."
Lucius blinked at and said," That was aparation. Wizards learn to do that once they turn seventeen. We could say the same thing about your elemental magic. An elemental hasn't been seen in over 400 years. Now follow me. We can answer more questions inside."
