A/N Thank you for your support and the reviews.

DarkRevie: Thanks for your support.

The Big Pickle: Yep he's still in the denial and anger phase. Thanks for your continued support.

Gray's POV

It was official he hated apparating. The way it left him was annoying and he would rather walk than continue to use it. Still he found himself back in the study with the red eyed man.

Knott handed the man the parchment that had his information. While he was reading Gray moved around the study. There was a lot of unfamiliar books on the shelves. When he reached out to touch one he could sense the magic protecting them. It was dark but not evil.

The man's voice drew his attention away from the books," So we were correct. Your true name is Harry Potter."

Gray turned and folded his arms across his chest as he replied coldly," Whether that was the name I was born with or not I refuse to go by it. My name is Gray Fullbuster a member of Fairy Tail. What am i to call you? That one is Knott, Lucius, Black. I don't really care about the other. You I am curious about."

The red eyed man stared at him stoically for a moment before replying," In this world I'm known as the Lord Voldemort. My inner circle calls me Marvolo. You may call me Marvolo or sir."

He shrugged as he replied," As long as you don't expect me to call you my lord. I will call you a lot of things but that isn't one of them."

Marvolo's lips twitched in what appeared to be amusment. For a long moment they just stared before he said dismissively," You both are dismissed. Knott he can stay with you for the time being."

Benjamin Knott stiffened before curtly replying," Yes, my lord. Come Mr. Fullbuster."

A hand on his shoulder gently turned him and led him through the building. They came to a room that had a fireplace in it. The room was unpleasantly warm. He didn't like it.

Interrupting his thoughts Knott said holding out a jar," Okay. We are going to floo to my manor. Take a pinch of this powder and throw it into the fire. When you step through call out Knott manor. I will be right behind you."

He swore this man was trying to kill him. Walking into an open flame as an ice wizard. The likelihood of that happening was about the same as him being accepted back in the Celestrial World. Zip nada none.

His decision must have shown on his face because Knott laughed," It's not that bad. Trust me we use this all the time."

"Not a chance in hell."

He would take apparation over stepping willingly into fire. The only time he got near fire was when he fought with Natsu. There was no way he would ever do something like this.

Knott threw the powder into the fire before pushing him roughly forward. He stumbled tripping on the rug and going face first into green flames.

He called out unwillingly," Knott Manor!"

The world spun and he was spit out onto another rug. That was it. If he had to go anywhere in this world he was walking. No more magical travel!

A moment later Knott came through. A faint smile tugged at his lips when he saw Gray sitting on the carpet. He held out his hand to the teenager. With only a brief hesitation Gray took it.

This man might not be a Celestrial wizard but that didn't mean Gray trusted him. Trust would have to be earned. Under no circumstances would he tell the other about why he had been forced to come here. Undoubtedly it would end badly for the young Celestrial spirit.

Pulling him from his thoughts Knott said," Lets go over some rules for your stay here. Follow me."

The brown haired man took him from the room and down a hallway. Three right turns later they were in front of a large wooden door. When they entered it was very much like Marvolo's meeting room. The selection of books wasn't as large it seemed but it was still larger than any he had seen before.

He wondered if he would be allowed to read some of the books. Unlike Natsu he enjoyed reading books on other kinds of magic. He also had a love for fantasy books.

Knott pushed him towards the desk gently. Once he stood in front of it the other went around to stand on the other side.

After a moment he said," First of all when we are here you may call me Benjamin. I abhor any one calling me solely by my last name. When my son comes home for the holidays it would get confusing anyways. So please call me Benjamin."

"Then you may call me Gray. As long as you don't abuse my trust of course."

That earned him a small smile from the man. He didn't understand how giving the man permission to use his first name was such a big deal. It bothered himthat he knew so little of the world that he had been born in. Hopefully Benjamin would have books that could help him with that.

"Now onto my rules. Rule one. You will not attack anyone that comes into my house unless they attack you first. I dont have many visitors but when I do have them they are friends. Rule two. You will not abuse my house elves. There are some families that do mine is not one of them. If you harm one of them i will do the same to you. Rule three. You can read any books in the library or the studies that allow you to lift them. If they don't allow you to lift them don't trust to force them to. You won't like the consequences. Rule four do not enter my study or bedroom without knocking. The exception is if it's an emergency. Do we have an agreement?"

Gray asked," What the hell is a house elf? Why would anyone abuse it?"

Benjamin thought for a moment before calling out," Tipsy!"

Gray jumped back in surprise as a creature that came up to his waist appeared with a crack. On instinct his hands had come up in an ice make stance. It had large bug like eyes.

It ignored him in favor of asking," Master called for Tipsy? What can Tipsy do for master?"

Benjamin said smiling at it," Tipsy this is Gray Fullbuster. He will be my guest for the foreseeable future. Treat him like you would Theo. Gray this is Tipsy she is one of my house elves. They cook clean and help take care of the manor. If you need anything just call for her."

Tipsy looked him up and down in consideration. After a long moment she said," Tipsy will take care of the Wolfie. If young master Wolfie needs anything you be calling for Tipsy."

Gray choked at it calling him Wolfie. What the fuck! How did it know? Before he had the chance to interrogate it, it was gone. Still he had a feeling of safety here. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as he first believed.

Loke's POV

Two weeks had passed since Gray had disappeared. Makarov the guild master had sent search parties for the young guild member. Every single one of them had returned without luck. Gray Fullbuster had been officially labelled missing.

He was the only one who knew what had happened to the ice wizard. He couldn't bring himself to tell them what had happened. Couldn't bring himself to break the trust of the wizard he had made friends with. Now Gray was just like him. A spirit waiting for their life force to run out.

Guilt ate at him. If only he had warned Gray better this wouldn't have happened. Most of the guild thought Gray wouldn't come back. Almost everyone knew by this point that he was gone. The only one that didn't was Natsu. The job had fallen to him to tell the pink haired teenager when he returned.

This was by the order of the guild master. Whatever doubt he had about the old man suspecting him had vanquished at that order. He was given the job of telling Gray's rival as punishment.

A familiar yell outside made him wince. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. A pink haired boy with an open shirt and white pants kicked the door open. Natsu Dragoneel. He was a Fire Dragon Slayer wizard. So far the only one confirmed in their world. Even as old as Loke was Natsu was the only one he had ever met.

To his surprise a blond haired girl followed the boy in. She looked about Natsu's age. From what he could tell she didn't belong to a guild. Did Natsu bring a new recruit? That wasn't typical of him.

His heart ached when Natsu yelled," Oi where's pervert? He owes me a fight!"

Everyone's faces fell. They had just gotten ready to greet their pink haired friend when he yelled that. Now everyone was silent. Thoughts going to their missing comrade. The one who was presumed dead. Especially since his client had died.

Natsu's happy look faded at the sight of everyone. His gaze searched the crowd of fellow members. It reminded Loke that there was one more who hadn't been told. The three of them had grown up together. It made him thank his lucky stars that he wasn't having to tell her. Erza that Gray was missing. He was almost completely sure he would not survive the encounter.

Taking a deep breath he walked over to Natsu and said placing his hand on the boy's shoulder," Natsu come with me a moment. There is something you should know."

This wasn't going to end well and he knew it. Without having a body Natsu would never accept that Gray was dead. Case and point he was still searching for his Dragon of a father. He worried what the other would do and that's why he took him off to the side. His magic could subdue Natsu if it came down to it. While he didn't want it to come to that he would be prepared for it.

Part of him was still uncovered from summoning Ares. He knew that using magic like that drained his life force heavily. If he was honest with himself he didn't know how long he had left. His life force could have lasted him several years if he didn't use his magic. Still he had to live and that meant taking jobs.

The only upside was that his body had not started to fade. At least not yet. When it started to do that, that was when he needed to start saying his goodbyes. Not that he really had anyone he was close to.

When he and Natsu were alone he said bluntly," Natsu I don't know how to say this so I'm just gonna come out and say it. Gray is missing and is presumed dead. He went on a mission and never came back."

Natsu had several emotion flit across his face. He then said in a deadly calm voice," He's not dead. Gray wouldn't just go and die like that. He's alive and out there somewhere."

This was said with such conviction that it made him believe it. Somehow the ice make's rival knew that his rival was alive. Loke knew they had a strange relationship. He just never realized how strange it was.

He replied in a cold manner," I'm just telling you what I know. If you don't like it take it up with the master."

A flicker of hurt went across the younger's face. He felt guilty but he said what needed to be said. No one could help Gray. Just like no one could help him. The two of them were destined to die.

A/N I would like to mention that yes i know that Lucy does not join the guild for another few years in the manga and anime. This is an au so get over it. Things will be different.
