Disclaimer: I'm sick…. Sick of saying that I don't own Fairy Tail or Harry Potter, bad dum crash. (yep, I just made the worst joke in history).

Again very sorry about the delay, to make up for it I am splitting the next chapter in half, the other half should be up next week.

Also, big thank you to MiyukiAyano for the favorite and to ArtistictEmotions for the favorite and the follow.

Metalicana was up early the next day, however he didn't open his eyes.

It was a dream, he thought, I dreamed everything up. When I open my eyes I will be in my closest.

There was a tapping noise. See, Aunt Jenny is trying to wake me up, Metalicana thought again. He still refused to open his eyes. They tapping continued.

"I'm up, I'm up." Metalicana said.

He sat up with Gildarts cloak falling into his lap. Gildarts was still asleep on the couch of the hotel room that they checked into last night. At the window was another one of those flying cats holding a newspaper.

Metalicana jumped up, extremely happy that he didn't dream everything. He went straight to the window and opened it up.

The cat swooped in and dropped the newspaper on top of Gildarts, who somehow didn't wake up. The cat then went to the cloak and started looking around.

"Hey, stop that." Metalicana said, as he wrestled the cat to stop him from ruining the cloak with what Metalicana thought was going to be whatever that weird creature called pee.

The cat wiggled its way out of Metalicana's grip and went back to looking through the cloak.

"Gildarts!" Metalicana shouted, "There's one of those flying cat things!"

"Pay him," Gildarts mumbled.

"What?"

"He wants to be paid for bringing the paper. There is some fish in the fridge."

Metalicana went to the kitchen and grabbed the biggest fish he could find (where did Gildarts keep all of this fish anyway) then gave it to the cat.

The cat took the fish happily and flew out the window as he was munching away. Gildarts sat up, while yawning and stretching.

"Better get going, we have a lot to do. Got to go into the city and buy all the school supplies you need."

Metalicana only had one concern that made his happiness deflate like a balloon.

"Um… Gildarts?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't really have any money, and you heard Uncle Hibiki, he isn't going to pay for anything."

"Don't worry, your parents didn't leave you with nothing you know."

"Wasn't their house destroyed?"

"Why would they keep their jewel in the house? That's why our first stop today is going to be Sylph Labyrinth. They wizard's bank."

"Wizards have banks?"

"Just the one, and you would be crazy to try and rob it. It is the second safest place in Earthland, with the first being Fairy Tail. Actually, Makarov wanted me to go there anyway for school business.?

He got up off the couch, standing proudly.

"He usually saves me all of his important stuff, because how much he trusts me. Well, come on, we should get going."

As they were walking to the elevators to go outside Metalicana decided to continue the previous conversation.

"Why would you be crazy to try and rob Sylph Labyrinth?"

"Protection spells and enchantments. Some even say that there is a dragon guarding the high security vaults. It's also almost impossible not to get lost in all of the underground tunnels that the vaults are actually in."

Gildarts was reading the paper as he was saying this, the Eclipse Press. Metalicana knew that people liked to left alone while reading, but he still had so many questions buzzing around in his mind.

"Magic Council keeps messing things up like usual," Gildarts said while turning a page.

"There's a Magic Council?" Metalicana asked without thinking.

"Of course. They wanted Makarov for the chairman, but he's not leaving Fairy Tail, so Crawford Seam got the job. Biggest moron alive if you ask me. Always sending herds of exceeds to Makarov at the crack of dawn asking for advice."

"But, what does it do exactly?"

"There biggest job is to make sure that magic stays a secret to the Muggles."

"Why?"
"Because everyone would want our magic to solve their problems, we would rather be left alone."

They had made it out of the lobby by then and were on the streets. Many people were starting at Gildarts, either because of his weird clothes, height, or extremely built body (if any young girls were their).

It also didn't help that he was fascinated by normal things like parking meters, and had to constantly point them out.

Metalicana, even with his tall for and elven year old self, was struggling to keep up, "did you say there are dragons at Sylph Labyrinth?"

"That's what people say," Gildarts replied, "Man, it would be awesome to own one."

"You want a dragon as a pet?"

"I've wanted one since I was a kid."

They continued to walk down the street, even stopped at a street vendor. Gildarts said something about not understanding "Muggle money" so he gave a few bills to Metalicana to pay.

"Do you still have your letter, Metalicana?" Gildarts asked as they walked with funnel cake.

Metalicana took the folded envelope out from his pocket.

"Good, it has a list of the stuff you need,"

Metalicana went and opened the second piece of paper that he hadn't looked at yet. It said:

FAIRY TAIL SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY UNIFORM

Fist year students will be required to have:

Three sets of work clothes

One black pointed hat (for day wear)

A pair of protective gloves (dragon hide is preferred)

One winter coat

Note that all students should have their id's pined to their clothes at all times.

COURSE BOOKS

The Standard Book of….

Metalicana started to just skim over the rest, not worrying to much about all of the specific books and equipment he needs at the moment. What really stood out to him was the bottom.

Students are also allowed to bring an exceed OR mouse

PARENTS: FIRST YEAR STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS.

Metalicana was surprised at some of the stereotypical items that could be found on the list.

"All of these things can be bought in the city?" Metalicana asked.

"I you know where to find them," Gildarts replied.

They passed a variety of shops, restaurants, and even a few places that give out lessons on things like dance or piano. None of them looked like they would sell a working magic wand or flying broomstick.

Metalicana was starting to wonder if this was all a prank that his aunt and uncle put together. This was just a regular street with regular people shopping on it. However, everything that he has been told seemed so farfetched that it would have to be true.

"Here we are," Gildarts says.

He stopped in front of a dirty looking bar, with an old sign above it that says Grimoire Heart. Metalicana didn't notice it at first. In fact, he had a sneaky suspicion that no one else on this street saw it either.

Gildarts rushed him inside, and the outside matched the inside. It was dark and dusty, yet it still had a good number of people inside. There were a few older women who were sitting in a booth drinking some sort of red beverage. One of them was smoking a long pipe. A short man was sitting at the bar talking to the bartender, who was a young man with gray hair (Metalicana had heard it was a new trend) and large glasses. He was dressed in a nice suit, a little too nice for an employee of a place like this to wear in Metalicana's opinion.

Most people stopped their conversations to look at Gildarts when he came in. They waved and smiled when seeing him, giving Metalicana the impression that Gildarts was in there often.

"Would you like the usual, Gildarts?" the bartender asked.

"Not today Rusty, I have some Fairy Tail business to get to," Gildarts said, placing a hand of Metalicana's shoulder.

"Oh my," the bartender (Rusty) said, "is this really him."

Grimoire Heart went completely silent. The next thing Metalicana knew, he was shaking hands with almost everyone in the bar. All of them saying how much of an honor it was to meet him.

Metalicana must have looked dazed, because Gildarts said, "I told you, you're famous.

A tall older man with an eye patch over his right eye. He has a long white beard that reaches past his stomach. He is wearing a dark cloak with a weird horned helmet on his head. He looked extremely nervous as he approached.

"Professor Hades!" Gildarts shouts, "Metalicana, Professor Hades will be one of your teaches at Fairy Tail."

"R-R-Redfox," Professor Hades stuttered while grabbing Metalicana's hand, "I j-just can't tell you h-h-how h-honored I am to m-meet you."

Metalicana thought that his stuttering was kind of enduring he asked his new professor a question.

"What magic will you be teaching me Professor Hades?"

"D-Defense Against the D-D-Dark Arts," Professor Hades said, almost looking like he would rather just let the subject be, "N-not that you n-need t-t-that, right R-R-Redfox?"

While Metalicana enjoyed talking to his new professor, the rest of the bar wanted to talk to Metalicana as well. It was almost ten minutes before Gildarts decided that it was enough.

"Alright everyone, time for us to get shopping, we have a lot to buy today."

The two make it through the crowd and go to the back door of the shop.
