It was a few days later now since the schools had made their own entrances. But even so, the excitement had never left the Hogwarts students that clammered around the Goblet of Fire. The mighty cup's open mouth spewed blue flutters of flames, the goblet musty and speaking of old age. Yet the beautiful Goblwet still held Its beauty, despite its lack of maintenance.
Erza, Gray, Lucy, and Lisanna had all decided to put their names inside the cup. It had taken them forever to get Natsu from eating the fire inside the Goblet after he had put his name as well. Long story. Not a very good one.
But whenever Lucy had gone to talk Lisanna, she was only met by a cold stare and a stubborn sigh. Was it still because she was jealous?
"It's not going to work!"
Lucy's eyes shifted lazily from the cup, waking up from her very concerning daydream about her best friend. Hermione had closed her book, her arms crossed and not meeting the Weasely twins' gaze. And she was certainly not amused.
"And why isn't it going to work?" Fred (or was it George?) asked.
"Because. You see that ring around the cup?"
Sure enough, there was a misty white circle hung around the cup, enveloping it in a thick fog.
"So what about it?" (Insert one of the twins' names here because I don't know which one) asked.
"So, it is a magical enchantment. Surely Dumbledore isn't dim-witted enough to have a spell weak enough to allow aging potion to get through!"
"Aah, but that's what makes it genious!"
Cried one.
"Because Dumbledore is perfectly dim-witted," chuckled the other.
"Well, Gred?"
"Yes, Forge?"
"Bottoms up!" They chorused.
And they drank.
The vials were tossed to the floor, emptied. They both scuttled towards the Goblet, stepping into the ring, and...
Nothing.
Everyone cheered.
Tossing their parchment into the cup, the twins walked out, triumph on their faces...
The fun was short-lived.
Before they knew it, the blue flames within the goblet exploded, and the next second, Fred and George were sprawled across the floor.
With huge, shaggy, white hair.
Now the two were on top of each other, rolling on the floor and ripping themselves to shreds. The entire room burst out laughing, encouraging the fight with whoops and mockery. Hermione sighed that annoying I-told-you-so sigh, then went back to her book.
Lucy was probably the only one to notice someone was traveling towards the Goblet of Fire with ease, dropping a piece of fluttery parchment inside the Goblet of Fire. She couldn't see their face... all she noticed was his bright blue hair and a tattoo plastered onto his right eye-
Shut up, you stupid ice cube!"
Lucy face-palmed.
"I'm sorry. But I would appreciate it if this smelly little lizard-head was not sticking his face into mine," The boy requested boredly, not caring that Natsu was boring his eyes into him. Lucy was trying hard not to lose her temper.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard what I said."
Slightly irritated, now.
"Oh, so you think you can actually beat me? Bastard!"
"Why not? Lizard freak."
"Popsicle head!"
"You wanna go?"
"Make me!"
"Shut UP!"
Both of them gladly shut up. Lucy was now between the two, One hand on Natsu's scarf, the other on the Gray's collar.
"Natsu, I have had enough of you screaming your face off with Gray all the time, and I've lived through it at least a billion times! If I have to live through it again, I might as well go insane! And you!" She turned to the Gray. "I feel that you have more sense than this idiot here! Now if you don't mind, just shut the hell up and get on with your freaking lives!"
With that, she stormed off.
A few giggles traveled through the room, breaking the awkward silence that Lucy had left behind.
"Man," Gray said shakily, "you're girlfriend is scary."
All Natsu could do was nod stiffly, his face turning slightly pink from his remark.
"I'd like to make an announcement!"
The Great Hall went quiet.
Dumbledore smiled, looking around the sea of students. "This year, quite coincidentally, we are having a few transfer students from Fiore!"
Whispers suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"This is odd," Hermione muttered. "We've never had transfer students before. And it just happens this year. Don't you find it weird?"
Erza crossed her arms. "Whatever this is, their probably just trying to get as many participants. But you might as well be right..."
"Now, let me present to you our new students!"
Four Durmstrang boys stood together. One had dark spiky hair, piercings on his pointy nose, and blood red eyes. He seemed to be staring off into space; the other three were conversing.
One looked like a french man with a block-headed appearance; one was abnormally huge and seemed to be crying, and the last had long black hair and a red combat suit... and was that a sword tied onto his belt? It seemed weird that 4 different people were so close.
Lucy almost didn't even notice the girl who was chatting with them. Her hair was blue and curled into huge loops, her eyes bright and cerulean.
"She's from Beauxbatons... yet it seems like she knows the others so well. How could somebody from a completely different school be so familiar?" Lucy whispered.
The last boy was wearing a Hogwarts uniform. He was...
"Hey! It's that guy who put his name in the cup!" Natsu blurted.
Erza ran pale.
"A-are you alright, Erza?"
Erza's eyes were obviously not believing what they were seeing. Her legs were shaking slightly, a look of horror on her face that didn't suit the strong and unbreakable Erza that they knew and loved.
"He's... that's... but that's impossible!" She whispered frantically.
"What is?" Lucy asked.
"He's... he is Jellal Fernandez," She whispered.
"A person who I believed was dead."
Sorry about the iffy ending. I lost interest and through some crap together. I'm horribly sorry, but maybe after another chapter I'll finally put some interest in.
But of course, if you believe otherwise, please make me feel better about myself! :D Just kidding, but please review and comment, and rage over it if you really didn't like it! I want to improve my writing, so please give me some advice!
Love ya guys! Thabks for the favs and followers, as well as the comments! I really appreciate it! :D
