I have returned from the dead! JK I didn't die, I've just been super busy. I'll work on getting both of my other fics updated sometime soon.
Gray's POV
"Lucy, why do you smell like blood?" Natsu asked, slowly making eye contact with her. Lucy grinned and to make sure Natsu wasn't imagining things Evelyn grabbed her hand and took a whiff.
"What the fuck kind of detention did you go to?" the fire mage demanded.
"I don't smell any blood," Hermione observed, perplexed.
"Natsu and Evelyn have sensitive noses. They can smell anything," Erza explained with a hint of pride.
"But what did she do to you?" I asked. Lucy wasn't bleeding to my knowledge. Lucy held out her right hand in response and we let the dragonslayers look at it, they had sharper eyesight than we did. When she did Evelyn gasped and Natsu growled.
"She did this to you?" Natsu growled and he had 'the look' on his face. It was the look he got whenever someone hurt one of his friends. I knew he was filled with anger, especially since that toad hurt Lucy. The girl in question nodded.
"She said it would just be lines. But the quill she gave me, and Harry," she added quickly, "used our blood instead of ink. Whatever we were writing is getting imprinted in our hand." Natsu dropped the celestial mage's hand and was struggling to control his temper.
"Natsu, there's nothing we can do right now," Erza tried to calm him down. "We'll write to Makarov and see what he has to say." His fist clenched and punched the wall; Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked surprised that the wall had slightly cracked.
"That bitch is going to pay for hurting you," he swore. "I promise." His face had darkened into an expression that terrified the three British wizards into silence.
"Flame brain, come on you have homework to do," I attempted pulling him to sit down. But the idiot was eyeing the flame burning in the fireplace.
"Natsu," Evelyn hissed. "You can't lose it right now. Just chill and we'll deal with it later."
"You're not going to detention ever again," he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes. "Promise me you'll never go back there." When she was hesitating the idiot broke out his puppy dog eyes and Lucy sighed.
"We'll see what Master says tomorrow," Lucy compromised. "Natsu, just relax for a little bit. I'll be ok. We can get Wendy to heal it for me." Not completely satisfied he relaxed a little bit. "I've gotten hurt worse than this."
Gramps' response came the next day at breakfast. Wendy had healed Lucy's hand to the best of her ability, and we had told everyone what detention with Umbridge meant. When the letter came the rest of Earthland mages crowded around. "What does it say?" Lisanna asked.
I cleared my throat and started reading. "Hello brats," we giggled at the term of endearment he used for us. "You probably know what I'm writing about. Erza wrote me and told me about Lucy's detention and I'm furious. Anyone who touches one of my children is an enemy of Fairy Tail." I continued skimming through the letter searching for anything of importance. "He said he's sending a friend."
"Who is it?" the pink-haired idiot asked.
"I don't know ash-for-brains. He didn't say," I snapped. Natsu looked like he was ready to attack but Erza glared at him. "And Lucy," the celestial mage looked up. "He forbids you to go to any detentions after this." She smiled and thanked him for reading the letter.
The hall doors slammed open and the caretaker walked in through the door and someone else was with him. The dragonslayers all sniffed the air before exchanging excited glances. Suddenly a very familiar looking person was being herded into the room. Spiky, orange hair, blue sunglasses, and a simple tux with a red tie gave away who it was immediately. "Loke!" Lucy screeched as she ran to meet her celestial spirit. "What are you doing here?"
"Master Makarov sent me, I'm still a member of Fairy Tail after all. I heard about your detention Lucy; that's never happening to you again." He turned to Evelyn and winked. "Hello, beautiful."
"You have a girlfriend Loke," she reminded him but she still smiled. "We never even dated in the first place."
More than a little bit of the girls were drooling over him and I remembered how he was known as a flirt before he became one of Lucy's spirits. Actually he still was a flirt even if he did have a girlfriend. All of the others crowded around him and we began having a conversation of our own.
"Loke are you here on your own power?" the realization dawned on the celestial mage making her concerned. He nodded and attempted to reassure the person he made a contract with.
"Don't worry Lucy, I'll be fine."
"I don't want you running out of energy."
"I'll be fine Lucy. I'll be going back and forth from the celestial world to here." Loke repeated, pushing his blue glasses up his nose.
"Who are you?" Hermione demanded her two friends right behind her. Draco sighed and said something about being an insufferable know-it-all. Natsu laughed but was silenced by a glance from Erza.
"I'm Loke," he held out his hand, and gave her a winning smile. "I'm a student from Fairy Tail." Apparently just smiling worked because she blushed slightly before pulling away.
"Come and sit over here Loke!" Mirajane requested but the Leo zodiac sign just shook his head and smiled.
"I'm sorry Mira. Master sent me to look after Lucy, and hopefully do a bit of poking around. I'm staying with her." The takeover mage nodded and smiled accepting his excuse. No sooner had he sat down then girls had hearts in their eyes.
"Oh yeah, Loke," Lucy mentioned. The spirit turned towards her waiting for her to continue.
"Aries told me about the little trick with the waterworks and acting when I was fighting Kain and how exactly is that supposed to be 'an asset' to me?"
"It'll help if you ever have any male opponents," he explained nonchalantly continuing to eat breakfast.
"Flirt," Natsu muttered before turning to me and punching the side of my face.
"What the hell was that for you pink haired freak?" I demanded from my frenemy.
"I was bored," was all he said before we started fighting with each other.
"Some things never change," Loke commented before turning away from the fight. Somehow in the middle of it Gajeel, Draco, and Evelyn got into it and appeared to be spiraling out of control fairly quickly.
"Enough," Erza roared.
"Aye," all of us chorused before scampering back to our seats, waiting for the day to begin.
Yeah i don't even know where this chapter came from. I just figured that sending Loke would make sense but idk. He won't be a major character though so whatever. See ya guys soon!
