Hermione POV
These transfer students were weird. They had weird nicknames and then some of their behaviors, like Natsu sleeping with Lucy, were just bizarre. Even stranger was the symbol that all of them had. Evelyn appeared to be the strangest of the students. With her twin dragon tattoo and the fact that she was covered in scars made me wonder who she really was and what had happened to her. That morning we saw another strange habit that these wizards possessed.
Breakfast was going along well until someone, the girl with short, white hair, Lisanna, mentioned casually "Gray your clothes disappeared." There was a round of laughter from the new students as Gray had a confused expression on his face.
"Shit! When did that happen?" he exclaimed, looking down to realize he was shirtless.
"Hehe stripper king," the pink haired wizard snorted. And once again they found themselves with their foreheads slammed together as they called each other names.
"Watch it squinty eyes!"
"Shut up ice boy!" Gray growled at Natsu for calling him that; a few seconds later they were violently fighting. All of the other transfer students ignored the fight but the rest of us were looking at the two boys in confusion.
"Shouldn't you stop them from fighting?" Harry piped up, asking what I thought was a reasonable question.
"No, let them get it out right now so they hopefully won't fight for the rest of the day," Erza said as if this was a perfectly logical explanation.
"The fights will only get more violent later," Gajeel explained. I looked back to the fight and heard them talking.
"Fire dragon-." Before he could finish saying whatever he was going to say Erza broke up the fight. The redhead grabbed him by the long scarf draped around his neck and dragged him out of the room. There was a quiet conversation that I couldn't hear before they walked back in, Natsu trembling in fear. He sat down next to Lucy where she hit his arm. He gave her a bashful smile and started shoveling food into his mouth.
"If you thinks that's bad you should see how violent their fights get in school," Mirajane told them a smile covering her face.
"It gets more serious than that?" Mrs. Weasley questioned aghast at the notion.
Lisanna nodded eagerly and laughed, "it's hilarious."
"Happens all the time," Wendy added. "It's rare for a day to go by without at least one fight between those two."
There was definitely something suspicious about the exchange students, I felt like they were hiding something. My eyes were drawn to a pink mark on Lucy's hand.
"What does the mark on your hand stand for?" I demanded from the blonde wizard.
"It's the symbol for our school," Gajeel explained. "It's used to prove we all identify as one family." That seemed nice and even though they all did fight a lot it was playful and wasn't out of spite. Even Natsu and Gray who fought all the time had a kind of camaraderie that was absent from the Hogwarts community.
My eyes were soon drawn to the twin dragon tattoo on Evelyn's left arm. Maybe if some of the others had had similar tattoos I wouldn't have cared, but she was the only one. "What's the tattoo on your arm for Evelyn?"
"Hm? Oh I just liked the design," she mused before turning her attention to the white haired sisters sitting across from her.
"Why do you have so many scars?" As soon as the question left my mouth all of them tensed, their eyes turning towards Natsu's little sister. At the mere mention of them she closed her eyes and her hand clenched into a fist. Natsu wrapped a protective arm around her and glared at me.
"You should refrain from asking," Erza ordered coldly as all the others started comforting Evelyn. Her answer only left me more suspicious.
After that the conversation drifted off as all the Fairy Tail students gathered in a circle and started talking, completely ignoring us. I gestured for Ron and Harry to go upstairs with me.
When we gathered in the girls' room I was the one to break the silence. "These students are weird. I haven't heard of a Fairy Tail School for the Gifted!"
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it isn't real," Harry interrupted logically while Ron nodded in agreement. I huffed in frustration.
"What about all the nicknames and weird habits then?" I prompted. "Like Natsu came into our room and fell asleep in Lucy's bed! That isn't normal," my voice raising slightly as I became more exasperated.
"Well he did say that Evelyn had a nightmare and Lucy needed his help to calm her down. He could've just stayed in the room incase Evelyn had another nightmare," Ron pointed out, actually making sense.
"Don't get me started on Evelyn, she's so strange. With her tattoo and scars it makes me wonder who she actually is."
"Hermione, they said we shouldn't talk about that in front of her," Harry reminded me.
"Fine then, what about Gray's stripping? Explain that," I challenged triumphantly. The two boys glanced at each other and shrugged.
"Why are you guys taking their side?" I cried. "They're clearly not normal!"
"Hermione, relax," Harry ordered. "Nobody would have let them in here if they were a threat." I bit back a response about Snape being in the Order even though Dumbledore trusted him. Yells were heard through the closed door.
"What is it now?" I threw open the doors fuming with frustration. As soon as I got to the source of the noise I stopped dead. Smoke was wafting out from under the door. I slammed the door open to see singed blankets on Gray's bed.
"Natsu, you damn pyro. You're cleaning this up, without magic," Gray decreed. The salmon-haired wizard continued to laugh maniacally before he sat up.
"I don't have to do what you say, ice prick," Natsu replied back haughtily.
"Salamander, shut up," Gajeel groaned.
"You wanna go Gajeel?" Natsu challenged.
"What are you doing?" I exploded. I knew about dysfunctional groups but this was crazy.
Before they could respond Erza stormed into the room. "What is the meaning of this?" she roared and Natsu and Gray quailed under her sharp gaze. "Natsu, Gray, I think I know who's going to be playing Master's punishment game when we get back," she teased. Their faces paled considerably as they started to protest.
After Erza left I stayed in the room just staring at them in shock. "How come you let Erza push you around so much?" Ron asked, as he and Harry had just walked into the room.
"Erza can be pretty scary and she's super strong," Natsu shuddered at the thought. "You don't want to make her mad."
"Hermione can be scary and strong but we don't let her push us around," Harry countered.
"It's a different kind of scary," Gray explained.
"Lucy can be pretty scary also," the blue cat added to the conversation and Natsu nodded in agreement.
"Don't let her catch you saying that," Natsu hissed.
This was going to be a long year if they were going to keep up acting like this.
