Hi!
Thanks for staying with me! Sorry I'm a week late, but I was out of town so I couldn't post.
So, here are two chapters.
~Blazingfyres.
"Never thought you were one to break the rules, Lucy," Gray remarked.
"Just shut up and keep moving, okay?" I hissed, keeping my eyes out for Filch.
"I personally do not agree with this whole 'sneak out' thing. For all we know it could be a trap to ruin Fairy Tail's reputation," Erza said quietly.
After the whole hooray-partners happy ending, I told Natsu about Harry's little request for that evening.
And of course, Gray and Erza both just HAD to eavesdrop. After very convincingly insisting on coming along (a synonym would be forcing us to let them join), we ended up with a male stripper and an armored redhead following us to Hagrid's hut.
"So... why are we out here again?"
Natsu leaned in, staring at me with full attention.
"So after repeating it at least fifteen times, you are finally ready to listen," I muttered. He nodded.
I sighed.
"Harry wants you to meet him at Hagrid's Hut tonight," I said impatiently, hoping that he actually listened. And that Filch didn't. "Any questions?"
"So, basically, we just sort of go visit a Hag's whats-it or whatever for no apparent reason?" I waved my hand. "He said it's for something about the Tournament. About the First Task."
That got his attention.
"Oh... so then you aren't coming?"
"Then you're allowing him to sneak out and quite possibly cause trouble," Happy said. "That wasn't a question, was it." Funny how that was a statement as well. "I'm allowed to go outside the school even though it's an hour after curfew. You're letting me break the rules. And for once you aren't going to stop me," Natsu repeated. His smirk broadened. That really isn't a good sign. "I'm getting fired up!"
To be honest, I thought Erza was going to put me through one of Natsu's and Gray's "HOLY-SHIT-IT'S-DA-SHE-DEVIL" moments, but I fortunately got the smaller end of it.
Thank the Holy One.
By the time we reached the outdoors, the entire sky was pitch black. The only light came from the fire in the little house nestled in the pumpkin patch. A little anxious, I motioned everyone towards the Half-Giant's home.
"Lucy, is that you?"
I turned my head towards the voice. Nobody was there. "Hello?" I asked nervously, searching for the owner of the voice. "Over here," Something whispered by my side. "Whose there?" Erza called sharply, putting one hand on the hilt of her blade.
"Woah, hold it!"
I nearly jumped five feet. Suddenly Harry just... appeared out of thin air. "I come in peace!" He cried.
"Harry? But... how did you..." I sputtered, pointing rather accusingly at him. "Oh... sorry, didn't mean to scare you... this is my invisibility cloak," He explained, pulling a silvery cloth in front of him. "It allows me to become invisible"
"I see," I said quickly, "but this isn't the reason why you called us out here, was it?"
"Oh, right," He said, shoving the cloak behind his back. "Although, who are the others?" He asked, pointing at my two eavesdropping stalkers. "The redhead is Erza, and the stripper is Gray," I said disappointedly.
"Great. Reduced to stripper, huh?" Gray muttered, his face flushing as he pulled his pants back on.
"Ah, you brought ye friends now, did ya Harry?"
I gawked at the size of the man in front of me. "Whoa," Natsu whispered. "You're huge!"
"Don't say that!" I muttered, nudging him in the ribs.
Hagrid didn't seem to notice. "But wheres 'ermione and Ronald? They don't seem to be here..."
Harry shifted on his feet. "Uh, well, they... couldn't come." Hagrid didn't seem to be convinced, but let it slide. "Alrigh'. Harry, you get under the cloak. The rest of ye... well, you be best stayin' hidden. The... er... Beauxbaton's headmistress is 'ere, too," He said quietly, turning slightly pink.
Harry disappeared under the silvery fabric.
"Everyone, split up. We'll meet back here in an hour." Earning a nod from the rest of us, we spread out while Harry motioned that he would stay behind Hagrid himself.
A little while later, Hagrid and the Headmistress walked out the back door. "It seems that we are alone out here," Hagrid said a little loudly, signalling to us to stay down. We headed towards the Forbidden Forest. I groaned. "Places like these give me the creeps..."
"You watch way too many horror movies," Erza replied nonchalantly before disappearing into the shadows. With a small sigh, I reluctantly followed.
"We're almost there," Hagrid called out after some ways in.
Something didn't feel right as we got closer to our destination. I don't know whether it was the shift in every one's magic that I sensed, or whether it was the terrible howls that echoed from the place that we drew closer to, but I had the feeling that things were going to go down-hill the rest of the way.
"GET DOWN!" Hagrid roared suddenly.
I ducked just barely in time before something bouldered down a dozen trees at once. Heat exploded from the impact, burning everything into a pile of ash.
I stood up, my eyes disbelieving what I saw.
Dragons.
A little abrupt for my liking, but it's a chapter nonetheless.
I'm a little sorry, but this is only a thought and may probably mostly certain not happen.
I'm thinking of going on hiatus. Not completely, but yeah.
I want to rewrite this story. Maybe after I complete it I might, but for some reason the more chapters I write the more it feels like I'm dragging on and on... I want to fix that, and also the writing itself and make it with more effort.
As I said, it's probably not going to happen, but it might, so I want to prepare you guys for that.
Thanks for all the support and reviews and likes and favorites. This is my first crossover and chapter and crossover, and I'm really happy that a lot of people like it.
Sincerely,
~Blazingfyres.
