DISCLAIMER: The delightful treats known as Fairy Tail and Harry Potter aren't owned by me, sorry you had to find out this way.
Thank you to SnowSisterBookworm and Shadowwolf1997 for the favorite and the follow.
The two boys are eating the chocolates happily, as it is one of the best things a growing child should eat for lunch.
"What's this," Metalicana asked Igneel, holding up a pack of Caramel Giants, "it isn't going to turn into a giant if I open it right?"
"No," Igneel said plainly, "but could you see what the card inside is, I can never find a Mystogan."
"A what?"
"Oh that's right, you wouldn't know about this would you. Caramel Giants have cards inside that you collect, all of them are famous witches and wizards. I've gotten almost four hundred, but not one Mystogan."
Metalicana opened up the package, and picked up the card underneath the caramel treat, which he popped into his mouth. It showed a man, with barely any hair except on the side of his face and a mustache. Underneath the picture was a name, Makarov Dreyer.
"So this is Makarov, huh," Metalicana said.
"You've never heard of Makarov?" Igneel said surprised, "Can you pass me a frog? I might get a Mystogan out of it?"
Metalicana complied with Igneel's request (even though Igneel didn't get a Mystogan after all). When Metalicana looked back at his card, the picture of Makarov's face was gone.
"He's gone!"
"Well duh, he's not just going to be there all day," Igneel said, "Don't worry, he'll be back eventually."
"You know in the Muggle world, people stay in the pictures," Metalicana informed.
"Seriously, they don't move at all?" Igneel says surprised, "That's really weird."
While Igneel continued to enjoy to eat the Caramel Giants, Metalicana grabbed a package of Every Flavor Beans.
"You should be careful with those," Igneel warned, "They mean it when they say every flavor, you can get the normal ones like cherry, sour apple, and cinnamon, but you could also get some really disgusting ones too. Skiadrum swears he got a vomit flavored one before."
Igneel grabbed one out of the box, "Ugh, that's got to be dirt flavored."
They then kept on eating the package, guessing what flavors they could get out of it. Metalicana got some pretty random ones, like toast, salt, and even a tree bark one. They had finished they rest of the box when a boy opened up the compartment. He looked extremely worried.
"Sorry," he said, "but has a green bird been flying through here?"
They two boys shook their heads, but that just made the boy more upset.
"I've lost him! He keeps flying off!"
"You'll find him, don't worry," Metalicana tries to reassure.
"I guess, if you see him, just let me know."
The boy leaves and closes the compartment door.
"I'd lose a bird just as easily so it can't be that bad," Igneel said, "but I did bring Marin, so maybe I shouldn't be talking."
Igneel grabs a small gray mouse from his jacket, he's sleeping quietly.
"He could be dead and I wouldn't even notice," Igneel says, "I tried to turn him yellow once, but the spell didn't work. Here, let me show you…"
He pulled out a battered wand, it was chipped in some places and the wood was fading a little. Igneel was raising up his wand when someone opened the compartment again. It was the boy who lost his bird, with a girl this time. She was wearing a simple white dress, like one that he saw at the clothes shop in Love and Lucky Market. She had curly pink hair, and two different colored eyes, one red on blue.
"Have either of you seen a bird? Warrod lost his," she said, a little bossy.
"We just told him that we haven't," Igneel said, but the girl wasn't listening, she was looking at the wand in his hand.
"Are you doing magic? Go on then."
She waited for Igneel to do his spell.
"Okay," Igneel said, "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow."
He waved the wand over the mouse but nothing happened.
"Is that even a real spell?" the girl asked, "It isn't good. I've tried a few simple ones myself for practice, and it's all worked perfectly. No one in my family is magic, so it was a big surprise when that letter came. Of course I'm pleased, it is the best school for witchcraft out there. I've almost committed all the textbooks to memory, I hope that's enough. I'm Grandine Marvell, who are you?"
She said this all very fast, Metalicana looked at Igneel. By the look on Igneel's face, it looks like this girl is the only one the memorize the textbooks.
"My name's Igneel Dragneel," Igneel said.
"I'm Metalicana Redfox," Metalicana said.
"Really?" Grandine asked Metalicana, "That's amazing. Do either of you know what house you'll be in? I hope to be in Dragon Slayer, but Lamia Scale doesn't sound too bad either. Anyway, we should get back to looking for Warrod's bird. See you at Fairy Tail."
The girl and the boy leaves.
"Whichever house I get sorted into, she better not be in it," Igneel said putting his wand away, "Skiadrum gave me that stupid spell, knew it was a dud too."
"What house are your brothers in?" Metalicana asked.
"Dragon Slayer," Igneel says a little sad, "My whole family has been in it, don't know what would happen if I'm not. Lamia Scale might not be bad, but just think if they put me in Tartarus."
"That was the house for You-Know-Who right?"
"Yeah," Igneel said, "Hey, did you here that someone tried to robbed Sylph Labyrinth?"
"Really, what happened to them?"
"Nothing, they haven't been caught, my dad thinks it was some powerful Dark Wizard. A few people think that You-Know-Who was behind it."
Metalicana rubbed his arm, almost every time You-Know-Who was mentioned the area his scar was located would start to ache.
"What's your favorite Chariot team?" Igneel asked.
"I've never heard of Chariot before," Metalicana admits.
Igneel went on to explain the game, talked about a few games he went to with his brothers, and the broomstick he would get if he had enough money. In the middle of this someone opened to compartment again. This time it was three boys, one of them was the boy that he met in the clothes store. He was looking at Metalicana with more interest than he did before.
"They're saying that Metalicana Redfox is in this compartment, is it true?" the boy from the shop asks.
"Yes, that's me," Metalicana answered.
The store boy looks at his two companions, who look almost like body guards.
"This is Racer and Midnight," the boy said, "and I'm Cobra."
Igneel gave a small cough, that was supposed to hide a giggle, Cobra just looked at him coldly.
"What's so funny about my name? I don't even have to ask who you are. The hair, old hand me downs, must be a Dragneel," Cobra turned back to Metalicana, "You should be careful who you make friends with Redfox, you don't what to get mixed up with the wrong crowd. I can help you there."
The boy held out his hand to Metalicana, but he knew better, "I can pick out my own friends, I am usually good at seeing who's in the wrong crowd."
Cobra looked at him coldly, "You should be careful, unless you want to end up like your parents."
The three boys heard footsteps and left, the footsteps belonged to Grandine Marvell.
"What's going on here, you haven't been fighting have you?" Grandine asks, the look she gave sent chills up Metalicana's spine.
"No," Igneel said defensively, scowling at the girl.
"Well, we're almost there. Thought you would like to know," she said before leaving.
It was getting dark out, and the train was slowing down. A voice came on to a speaker.
"We are almost at Fairy Tail, please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school after you get off."
The boys crammed as much of the leftover sweets into their pockets as they could, before joining the rest of the students. The train stopped and the students walked on to the platform and felt the cool night time air. Metalicana heard a familiar voice.
"First years, over here please! First years! You okay, Metalicana?" Gildarts said with a large smile, "Alright all first years follow me."
Gildarts lead the crowd on eleven-year-olds to a small dock where boats where all lined up waiting for them. The crowd oohed and awed at the black lake the boats were on, and the beautiful sight of the castle in the distance.
"Four to a boat everyone, no more than that!" Gildarts said.
Metalicana and Igneel shared a boat with Warrod and Grandine, Gildarts got a boat to himself.
"Everyone in? FORWARD!" Gildarts shouted.
The boats started to move smoothly at the command. Everyone stayed silent as they watched the castle. They went into a little opening in the side of the mountain, which seemed to go right underneath the castle. They reached another dock, the only light being a lamp that Gildarts was carrying. A bird came out of nowhere and landing on Warrod's shoulder.
"Forest!" Warrod said cheerfully.
They climbed up stone stairs until they were met with a giant door.
"Everyone here, you still have your bird?" Gildarts said.
Then Gildarts went and knocked three times on the large door.
Yay, I got a chapter done a day earlier for the first time since school stated. Like I said last week, I am on break now, so I plan to either post extra chapters of this or make one or two one-shots. If you have a preference as to which I do, then tell me in the reviews.
SnowSisterBookworm: I'm glad you like it so far; I hope I can keep the same quality for the rest of the fanfic.
Shadowwolf1997: I plan on doing the whole series, except Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I don't know if you considered that part of the series or not, so I placed it there in case.
ArtistictEmotions: I know this might give you a heart attack, but I have to respond (yes I know that I could just PM you but, I like doing this better). Thank you for the reassurance, I thought that the chapter before last wasn't that good because I went a little off the book for it.
