A/N Thank you for your support and the reviews. Enjoy the chapter.
Whiteelfelder: Things are certainly spiraling. It's definitely going to be an interesting couple of chapters. Please remember that Harry didn't grow up a Potter. In his mind he is a through and through Fullbuster. Marvolo may have killed his birth parents but he was raised by the Fullbusters, Ur and Fairy Tail. So reactions may defer from what you expect.
DarkRevie: Thanks for the review as always my friend. Glad you enjoy the story.

Theo's POV
October 31st
Theodore Knott was the heir to the House of Knott. His family had long supported the Dark Lord. Even now they upheld order in the Wizengott. His father expected great things from him but would not pressure him into a certain path. This allowed him certain freedoms.
One such freedom was that he found he had the rare ability for necromancy. The mark on his abdomen just above his hip marked him as a rank 6 necromancer. He was in the second lowest class but well above anyone else for his age. Necromancy was a talent one had to be born with. Otherwise you were likely to die.
Hogwarts held special classes for those born with the gift. Only four others were currently in the class. So far he was the only one who achieved a rank yet.
The soft padding of footsteps behind him drew his attention. Looking over his shoulder a faint smile appeared on his face. While he didn't know how she did it he was happy to see her.
Luna Lovegood fell into step next to him with a dreamy smile on her face. She said softly so much so that he had to strain to hear her," The Gate of the Wolf will open this night. The balance of the two worlds will be sent into Choas. Only the foxes can save them. The foxes must search for the two spirits who hide their keys in same for something that was out of their control."
Theo wanted to groan. Luna was one of his best friends even though she was a Ravenclaw and a year younger than him. If there was one thing that bugged him was her ability to speak in riddles. It drove him insane sometimes.
Tonight he had no patience for them. They were supposed to be at the feast celebrating their Lord's victory. At least he knew who one of the foxes was. Luna perceived him as a fox in her riddles. While it made no sense he accepted it.
They were almost to the Great Hall when he staggered. His head swung to the south searching for something he didn't understand. He felt an immense magical power. It was like nothing he had ever felt before. More than that it was dark. Darker than any demon he had summoned to date.
A terrifying thought hit him. Was this what Luna was talking about? His eyes looked to where she was standing. To his annoyance but no great surprise she was gone. How in the hell she did that he would never understand.
With as much composure as he could muster he made his way into the Great Hall. He would ask his fellow necromancers if they felt anything. With that amount of power even someone barely in tune with the art should have felt it.
Next day
Frustrated he left the classroom. None. Not a single other person felt what he did. They even had the nerve to call him a liar and attention seeker. This was because he was the first to achieve rank. They were all jealous of him and took every opportunity to put him down.
During his last class he penned a letter to his father. If anyone would believe him it would be him. Benjamin Knott had more knowledge than he did and would guide him appropriately. After a brief hesitation he also included what Luna had said.
He gave it to his owl after his last class that afternoon. It would likely be at least a day before he got a reply. So for the moment all he could do was wait.
Gray's POV
The mansion they had entered was just as large inside as the outside. The carpet was forest green and the walls were either silver or black. Lucius led him up to the second floor. There they knocked on a large oak door.
A deep rich voice called out," Enter."
They walked into what appeared to be a study. It reminded him slightly of the Magnolia Public Library's sitting area. He enjoyed being able to sit in there away from the guild for peace and quite.
The next thing he noticed was a man behind a desk. He seemed buried under paperwork but when they entered his eyes shot up to them. The man had hair as black as the midnight sky. His eyes were unnerving though. They were blood and reminded him of a demon's. After his childhood he was most certainly wary of the man.
Lucius oblivious to his thoughts pushed him forward until he stood in front of the desk. Lucius said bowing slightly," My Lord, may I present Gray Fullbuster. This young man was the cause for the magical disturbance yesterday evening. As well as making some of the Death Eaters look like fools."
That last part was said with a glare sent to the other four. A faint smile tried to find its way onto his face. Making people look like fools was a specialty. An art perfected by his time in Fairy Tail.
The smile faded when the man in front of him didn't even twitch. The red gaze was unnerving. It spoke of his training that he didn't flinch. Something he would have to thank Ezra for if he ever saw her again.
A pang resounded through his chest. He would likely never see his friends in Fairy Tail again. Even he as a Celestrial spirit who was mostly human couldn't stay in the human world forever. Once a year he returned to the Celestrial World to replenish his life force. Thanks to him not being entirely a Celestrial spirit he didn't have to do it as often. But even that had its limits.
It was said the Gate of the Wolf also known as the Gate of Darkness was equally as powerful as the Gate of the Lion. As he was the darkness the Lion was the Light. With how good friends they became it was a surprise when they found out.
Flashback
Gray stood back to back with Loke. Their magic sung around them as they fought against the monster. It was supposed to have been an easy job. This was not an easy job!
They had been going at it for an hour now. Trying to pierce the monsters hide. It was a giant lion like monster with the tail of a scorpion. It reminded him of the chimeras from legend. It's hide was damn near impenetrable. Even his ice make magic could barely put a dent in it. On top of that they were both running out magical power quickly.
He said to Loke," I have an idea that might work. I hope you will not think any less of me for hiding this from you. It's a secret not even the master knows."
Loke said their eyes meeting," Same here. I've kept this secret for almost a year now. I think only is combining our last resorts will defeat this things. What about you?"
A small smile appeared on his face as he replied," I guess so. Let's follow the three laws of Fairy Tail."
He was not a Celestrial wizard so he could not fully open his own gate. What he could do was open it just enough to tap into its power. He touched the key that hung from his neck. In his mind he called to the gate allowing its power to flow.
The magical pressure in the air tripled making the monster stop and stare. As he readied into a new fighting stance the pressure quadrupled even further. The source was from behind him.
He turned and saw gold magical presence coming off of Loke. Mixing with his black magical presence. Light mixing with Dark. Something that had never happened before. By the look on Loke's face he hadn't been expecting it either.
With their combined powers they made quick work of the monster. It left them exhausted though. They both collapsed onto the ground.
Loke asked breathlessly," So you are a Celestrial spirit. Lupus right?"
Gray nodded and replied," Yeah. You're Leo. The light Celestrial spirit. I am Lupus the darkness. Not that I had any choice."
Loke replied," Yeah I understand. If you keep my secret. I'll keep yours. Deal?"
He turned to face the other. The look on the others face was dead serious. Something told him there was more to this story than he realized. First he would have to gain the others trust. So he agreed.
End of flashback
He blinked several times bringing himself out of the flashback. That day had hit a cord with him. It was the first and only time he had entrusted his secret to anyone. One that he did not plan on sharing with this red eyed man.
The red eyed man was studying him intently. Finally he broke the silence by asking," Well Mr. Fullbuster what did you do to cause such a disturbance?"
"That is my business and my business alone. It doesn't concern you."
He very well couldn't tell the man he had been the cause of a Celestrial wizard's death. The bastard had been abusing spirits. Even one like him couldn't standby and watch it happen. That was why he had been banished. Just like Loke. At least his friend was allowed to stay on Earth. He had been banished from the only home he ever knew.
The Spirit King's words still haunted him. He never belonged to that world and the spirit had sent him back. Was he born to this world only to be sent to the other world? If he had, did he have family here? Maybe he could make a life for himself.
Yet he wanted to go home. Home to the Guild and everyone in it. They were his family. Sure they fought sometimes. Okay they fought most day but that's just how they were. It was too quiet for him here. He missed his Guild that had so easily become his family.
The red eyed man said startling him from his thoughts," I do believe it is my business. This is my country. You come in and attack my men. Are you a member of the resistance? They are not above using teenagers. Who are you really?"
This was a double edged question. He could deny all he wanted being apart of some resistance. Then again that could only prove the man's theory of him.
He replied stiffly," I have no idea what you mean by resistance. I honestly know nothing of this country. The only name I have is Gray Fullbuster. Who are you?"
The man watched him unblinkingly for several seconds before he said," I am Marvolo Slytherin ruler of the Wizarding World. The Wizengott has run most things for the better part of the last decade but i still oversee everything. You should know this but yet you don't."
Black was the one who replied this time," My lord, he doesn't seem to be from here. Several things don't add up including his magic. Maybe he is from another time."
Time magic? Not likely. Even the Spirit King wasn't that powerful. No he had just moved worlds. Not that he was going to tell them that.
Marvolo said shaking his head," No, I don't think so. There is more at work here."
Their eyes met again. This time he felt something pushing against his mind. A growl escaped him as he pushed back. Mind magic was illegal and he wouldn't stand for it. Thankfully all Celestrial Spirits had natural defenses against it.
"Interesting you would have occulumy barriers. Who taught you?"
Blinking he replied," They are natural. Don't you know that mind magic is illegal?"
"Legimmency is not illegal. Besides I am the ruler of the country's magical world I don't have to obey."
Gray said coldly," That's abuse of power. Even the magic council has to obey their own laws."
To be honest he was liking this world less and less. So much of it was different from his world.
The man raised an eyebrow at him as he said," It's been a long time since someone said that to me. You are an interesting one Mr. Fullbuster. Where did you learn elemental magic?"
With a soft sigh he replied," My master taught me. The village I had lived in with my parents was destroyed by a demon. I was the only survivor."
He had to bite his lip to keep from saying anything else. It was true. His parents had been killed by the demon Deloria but that wasn't the worst of it. The woman who had saved him and taught him magic had died to save him.
She used a forbidden technique. One that he memorized in case it ever came to it. To him having to use the Iced Shell magic. Now he doubted that he would ever need it. These men knew nothing of the demons of Zeref.
Before anything else was said a knock on the door sounded. A man with brown hair and dark eyes came in. The dark brown eyes held a hidden warmth in them.
The man said moving towards them to stand at Gray's shoulder," My Lord the goblins have an appointment available for the boy immediately."
Green eyes shot towards the red eyes man and asked incredulously," Goblins? Really?"
A half smile appeared on the Marvolo's face as he replied," Yes goblins. This cements my theory. You are not from this world. At least not for a long time. Perhaps you were born here. Perhaps not. This blood test will confirm all we need to know. Benjamin you may take him."
As if losing interest in them he turned back to his paperwork. Gray wanted to leap over the desk and punch the man. Instead he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
It wasn't Lucius hand. Too heavy to be the blonde's. He very much doubted it was Black's or the other men that had given chase to him. No doubt they thought they would get frostbite for touching him. If only that was true.
What passed through them was enough to make a shiver run down his spine. A spark of magic pulsed through them until his arm was released. The man's brown eyes widened in surprise as he released the boy's arm.
Gray immediately put space between them. Mistrust filled his eyes. This world did have Celestrial magic. They had been lying to him!
