Yo! Welcome back to Like Yesterday. I should've been born in another century. I love old English and I love piano music.
I am in gratitude for how much people follow and favorite this story, I got into fanfic maybe 6-7 months ago, and only got into anime a year ago. I'm glad to be doing this.
I forgot Happy and Lucy in the last chapter, I will get them in.
I had lots of trouble uploading this :/ so be happy about it being out now.
Like Yesterday Previously
*CRASSHHH* *FOOTSTEPS*
Harry quickly tugged on his cloak and ran out the Restricted section into the actual library.
"Is there something wrong?"
Harry looked to the two men blocking his path. Filch looked over to the newcomer.
"Professor, I just heard something break in the Restricted Section. Most likely a lamp." Argus added.
Natsu nodded and looked away. Harry started sweat-dropping when Natsu looked straight into Harry's eyes.
"I see…" Natsu said.
Like Yesterday
Harry stood, petrified, at his professor. The hard eyes turned piercing and almost cold. Argus looked to Natsu's frozen gaze.
"Do you see something?" he asked.
"…No," Natsu responded.
Natsu looked away from Harry and back to Filch. "They probably aren't far away from here. Follow me."
After his professor and the nasty caretaker left the library, Harry was still frozen. He was definitely sure that Professor Dragneel saw him. Maybe the cloak didn't work all the time? But how did Filch not see him? Harry shook his head underneath the cloak and tiptoed the closest way back to the Common Room.
"You need to know where your loyalties lie!"
Harry stopped and turned around. That was definitely Snape's voice.
"I-I-I-I-I d-d-don't k-know w-w-w-hat you're t-t-t-talking a-a-about…" and definitely Quirrell's.
Harry turned back the corner to see the two professors very close to each other. Snape was forcefully gripping on Quirrell's purple cloak and glaring intensely.
*Long whistle*
Snape immediately stiffened and let go of Quirrell's robes. The purple turban wearing professor immediately flinched.
Natsu, with Filch trailing behind, appeared and he began to speak. "Did you see anyone come out this way Snape-san?"
"…No," Snape replied.
Harry became awestruck once more when he saw Snape stiffen up around Professor Dragneel, and then Natsu's animalistic eyes bore into Harry's once more.
His eyes were burning, showing something.
Harry hightailed out of there into a conveniently placed door. He felt safe in the room that he went into, so he took off his cloak.
Mysterious room
There were small rays of moonlight coming from the windows into the room. Other than the few windows and a tall structure with a blanket over it, there was nothing there. Harry shivered for a moment and looked around for a blanket, he immediately found one.
He pulled it around his thin shoulders and walked towards the hidden piece of furniture. His shaky pale hand slowly grabbed the fabric and Harry took it off with one try. Dust particles flew into the air, causing Harry to cough. He wiped his mouth on his blue striped night clothes before looking to the object in front of him.
It was a mirror. It showed Harry, of course, but also two other people. They were both a few heads taller than Harry and they stood right behind him. Harry felt his hairs on his neck rise, he didn't see anyone come in behind him!
Harry slowly looked back and saw nothing, when he returned his green eyed gaze to the mirror, where the two adults in the picture were smiling. The woman with red hair and green eyes like himself put her hand on Harry's shoulder while the man who looked significantly like Harry just nodded at Harry, accepting him.
"Is that you, mum, dad?" Harry asked the mirror.
They both lightly giggled and Harry smiled.
"I'll be right back!" Harry said to the mirror as he grabbed the cloak once more and opened the door.
Gryffindor Common Room
"Ron! WAKE UP!" Harry yelled underneath his invisibility cloak to the red-head in bed.
"No, mum, five more minutes…" Ron mumbled in his sleep.
Harry took off some of his cloak, allowing his head to show. "Get up, Ron!"
Ron's eyes slowly opened and he said to the almost entirely invisible boy in front of him, "What's wrong…?"
"Just get up! I have to show you something!"
"Ughhh…"
Ron went under Harry's cloak and they opened the Fat Lady's painting. She once again yelled out, "Who is that!?"
This time though, she would get a reply.
A pair of footsteps echoed throughout the corridor, the two Gryffindors couldn't move because Harry speculated who it was. Harry couldn't get away from him.
"Ne, Natsu? Do you smell that?" a squeaky voice said.
"Of course I do, I'm not dumb ya know, Happy!" Natsu replied.
Ron started sweat-dropping. "Bloody Hell!" he whispered.
"Thank goodness!" came the Fat Lady's voice. "I somehow opened and closed without anyone showing themselves."
"Nani?" Happy replied from the bottom of the stairs. "I don't wanna work. I just wanted some sakana from the kitchen." Happy placed his hands around his arms in an "I won't budge positon".
The Fat Lady was shocked. Just before she was about to rant, Natsu intervened. "I know where the 'rule breaker' is."
Harry and Ron started to shake.
"Huh?" Happy said disbelievingly to his long-time partner.
Natsu didn't answer, he just slowly walked up the steps, and he looked into Harry's once more. Harry and Ron gulped when their professor was right in front of them. Natsu put his hand out and grabbed the top of the cloak.
Harry and Ron decided not to abandon it, or the Fat Lady would see them, start shouting, and wake up everyone and everything in Hogwarts. They were dragged to the Draconian class with Happy happily skipping behind them.
Draconian
Natsu pushed them into his classroom before closing the black door behind him. He quickly overpowered the two tweens and took the cloak off them.
"What are you doing roaming the halls at this hour, Potter-kun, Weasley-kun?" Natsu questioned his students.
Harry felt tremendously sorry for bringing Ron into this. "It's all my fault, Professor…" Harry confessed. "I wanted to show Ron something in a room I found…"
Natsu just sighed. "It's best to be honest when you don't know what to do."
Happy sat on Natsu's desk. He was completely surprised how Natsu was handling this.
"What is so important, Potter-kun?" Natsu asked.
"I saw my family, sir…"
Natsu and Ron were taken aback from his statement. Natsu watched as Ron said, "You saw your family? But aren't they dead?"
"You saw your parents…?" Natsu repeated.
Harry nodded while Ron opened his jaw. Natsu started scratching his faded pink hair and he turned around and left the classroom.
"Chottomatte, Natsu!" the blue exceed called from the desk.
The door slammed, leaving two confused first-years and one flying blue cat in the room.
Ron looked to the cat and said, "Can we go now?"
"Yeah… I need to go now…" Happy replied.
They all left the room, Happy flew through the corridors out to find Natsu while the two boys went back under the invisibility cloak to the mysterious room.
Day after winter break (All Hogwarts students are back)
Harry pushed up his circle glasses while he rubbed his eyes with his left hand. Harry hadn't gotten much sleep lately, but last night he got a few extra hours. He yawned again and rested his face on his hands.
*SLAM*
Harry was completely awakened when Hermione, a bushy haired girl, placed a very large book on the library table.
"I-Is that a book?!" Ronald questioned.
"Of course it is," Hermione sighed. "Do you remember when you were supposed to find out about Nicholas Flamell?"
Harry nodded while Ron looked confused.
"I had you looking in the wrong section. I remembered his name in a book I read before winter break." Hermione swiftly turned the large pages until she stopped. "Here it is!"
Harry and Ron turned their heads as Hermione began to narrate. "~Nicholas Flamell is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's Stone, and item that can make the user Immortal or change a set of base materials into something more worthy. He is celebrating his 665th birthday on _ _.~"
"Immortal?" the fiery haired boy asked.
"It means that they can never die," Someone from behind Ron explained.
Hermione smiled at their teacher. "Good morning, Professor Heartfilia."
"Ohayo," The golden haired woman said.
"Aye sir!" a blue cat popped up from behind Lucy's shoulder.
"Happy! I didn't see you there!"
"What's wrong with me being here? It's not like I was bothering you or anything."
"I'm just not used to having a baka neko on my back."
"Oi!"
"Sooo…. Granger-san what are you researching?" Lucy questioned.
Hermione quickly snapped her reading finger to another person's bio.
"~Jafar Flavor. The man who invented all flavored jelly beans.~" Lucy quoted. "Well okay, but why did Weasley-kun ask about immortality?"
Hermione opened her mouth to answer but she shut it. A few seconds later, Ron said, "I was reading, and I came across that word…"
The whole table of three waited to see if their answer worked. Happy looked at Ron skeptically.
"You can read?" the exceed asked.
Lucy face-palmed. "Of course he can read!" she yelled at the cat.
That was when the librarian, Madam Irma Pince, glared at the first-years, the one professor, and fat blue cat. They all immediately quieted down.
Happy kept his small conversation growing. "Natsu wasn't able to read or spell until he got to the guild." Happy laughed out. "Pathetic, ne?"
There was an echoing sound of "OI!" that came into the library.
Lucy grimaced. "I wouldn't want to be taught by Erza."
"Erza?" Harry asked.
"She was a monster," Happy said.
"Had scarlet hair," Lucy added.
"Could kick down a gigantic mountain with one kick."
"Happy, she did get stronger after the GMG and Tartarus but I still don't think she could've done that."
Happy didn't care. "Seventh guildmaster."
"Okay, okay. I think we're bothering our first-years." Lucy looked at the 11-12 year olds.
The children didn't respond which made Lucy sigh.
"Ja ne!"
Happy, from Lucy's back, said, "Aye sir!"
"They're very odd people." Ron concluded.
The other two people at the table swiftly nodded their heads. Hermione read the paragraph out loud again.
"The Sorcerer's stone…" Harry said. "Wait a second, what if the Sorcerer's Stone is what Snape's trying to steal."
Hermione agreed and so did Ron.
Later at night
Harry had gotten a letter a few days before to come to Hagrid's. He decided to bring along Ron and Hermione. Harry placed them underneath his invisibility cloak to make sure they wouldn't be found wondering around the castle at night.
When Harry knocked on the door, a large crossbow was pointed at Harry's face. The three first-years took off the top of the invisibility cloak and Hagrid immediately relaxed.
"Come on in!" the giant merrily said.
The three came in while Hagrid was peeping out the door to see if they were followed. He swiftly shut the large oak door, which caused dust to fall from the straw ceiling.
The first-years wore their normal clothes including the black cloak while Hagrid wore a pink frilly apron and floral oven protection gloves. Just when Hagrid sat down on his leather seat to face the first-years on the couch, Hagrid stood up.
There was a bubbling sound coming from the fireplace.
"Blimey…" Hagrid said with tears in his eyes.
Hagrid somehow swiftly speed-walked to the fireplace. He made a grab for the dark iron basket hanging from an iron rod above it but… just when he touched it, Hagrid immediately retracted his hand.
The oven mitt didn't work very well. Hagrid tried again and bobbled it to the dining table. The three first-years were very curious so they moved to the table. As they peeped into the iron basket, Harry said, curiously, "What is that?"
Inside was a dragon's egg. It was a dark puke-green color, with speckles of brown and black.
Outside
A masculine figure with a red coat was walking down the steps to Hagrid's. His figure glowed red in the moonlight. As he opened his mouth to smell the air, long canines were shown.
"Huh? Is that…?"
Inside
The green egg soon began to wobble and jolt at random moments. A small green scaly beak pushed out of the egg before going back in and jolting back out. Harry wanted to help the small animal, but when he tried to take some egg shell off, Hagrid said, "Let 'em do it 'imself."
Soon, a ring was cracked and the top of the egg fell on the head of the dragon. It jumped out of the shell and shook its body, making slime fly off as well as the top of the egg shell. Some slime got on Hagrid's beard.
The green dragon started to cough and soon enough, tufts of smoke and flame erupted from its mouth. As it coughed once more, flames caught on Hagrid's beard. Hagrid, who still had the oven mitts on, slapped his beard until there were only small glowing sparks left.
Harry stood amazed at the creature, he thought, 'Professor Dragneel was right that dragons are cool.'
Said man rapped on the door. Hagrid took off his oven mitts and looked through the circular window to the left side of it, to check who it was. Hagrid looked back to the first-years with a terrified expression, signaling them to hide. They hid in the corner of the room, underneath the invisibility cloak.
Out came Natsu Dragneel, foggy, who wore a red jacket, white joggers, and combat boots.
"Yo, Hagrid!~" Natsu said cheerfully. "You shouldn't bother hiding the kids."
As Natsu pointed to his nose, Hagrid tried to keep up his normal expression.
"I can smell them ya know.~"
The first-years pulled off the cloak and surrendered to the teacher, except he was now ogling the dragon on the table.
"I haven't seen a baby Norwegian Ridgeback in a while! Ne, Ne, Hagrid? Where'd ya find one?"
"I… uh… got it by winnin' a game o' cards."
"Hontoni?"
After a little while, Natsu calmed down.
"Well… I still need to bring back these three." Natsu said whilst gesturing to the first-years.
"What?" they all chorused.
"You were told on by Draco Malfoy. All of you, including Draco, have detention."
I tried to work on this two days before but this was my life…
*Gets laptop out and opens up Microsoft word*
"Guys! We're going for breakfast!" my mom yells.
*Goes to breakfast for an hour, gets home and restarts Microsoft word*
"Infinity! (Not actually my name) You need to go drop off the birthday present and go to softball!"
That is my life. I've been watching lots of anime lately such as, Angel Beats!, Steins;Gate, and Kuroko no basket. They're all really good in my opinion.
Sorry for shorter chapter, I'm going on vacation and I'll be gone for a week and a half. I need to pack.
Have a nice day, morning, evening, afternoon.
Bye.
