Since I'm doing a Harry Potter crossover, I thought that I should put up a poll. I want to see what you guys thought what house Darkness would be put into. So, when you get the chance, please vote on it. It'll be there till I'm done 'My Hollow Siblings'.

Gildarts and Harry, with Fawkes on his shoulder, walk up to the door to Fairy Tail. Once they were standing in front of it, Gildarts stopped Harry from going farther by putting his hand in front of him.
"Now, there might not be chaos, but just in case stay behind me," he advised Harry.
Harry is confused, but did as told and stood behind his new friend. He watched the man open the door, but there wasn't chaos; however, there was a lot of people that ran up to Gildarts to greet him and ask why he was back so early.
"Gildarts, fight me!" a voice shouted, and a teenager, a little younger than Harry, jumped into the air from somewhere in the crowd with a fist on fire. Before the teen could land the hit, Gildarts effortlessly blocked the flaming fist and tossed him into a wall.
Harry worried for the teen, because he had seen Gildarts fight before with a monster that was a hundred times his size and beat it like it was nothing. So, Harry runs up to the young teen stuck in the wall while asking worriedly, "Are you okay?"
While waiting for his answer, Harry decided to study the boy in front of him. The teen has rose pink, short, spiky hair, tan skin, wears a scaly, white scarf, black with gold trimming vest, white pants that he has never seen before stopping at the shin, and black sandals.
The teen opens his eyes, allowing Harry to see that they are black in color.
'Weren't they green a moment ago?' He thought for a moment, but then shook his head. 'It was probably my imagination.'
"Yeah, I'm fine. I have been through much worse!" The teen proclaimed.
Harry sighed in relief. "Do you need help?" he asked.
"Na, I'm good. I can get out of this just fine. Just watch!" With that, the teen pushed himself out of the wall with a bit of a push. "See? I'm not about to let some wall beat me!" the pink head exclaimed.
"Natsu, you okay?" a child-like voice asked from behind them. Harry turned to see a blue, TALKING cat FLYING toward them!
The teen – who Harry found out is named Natsu – grin widely and pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah, I'm okay, buddy!" Natsu turned to Harry when he noticed the bird on his shoulder. "Hey, why does your bird smell like fire?"
"Natsu, did you even introduced yourself yet?" the cat asked, but when Natsu shook his head while sheepishly smiling he turned to Harry. "Don't mind him, he's forgetful sometimes. The name's Happy!"
Harry smiled at Happy. "That's a fitting name. I'm Harry Potter, and this is Fawkes." He turned to Natsu. "Fawkes is a phoenix, so that might be why he smells like fire." Harry paused for a second after he was done talking. "Wait…smell? You can smell him?"
Natsu grinned again. "Yeah, I was raised by a dragon and gained Dragon Slayer magic. Learning it changes your body to have parts of a dragon, like my nose. I have the best nose in the animal kingdom," he explained. "I'm Natsu Dragneel, son of Igneel!"
"It's nice to meet you, Natsu, Happy."
"Same here. So, are you joining the guild?" Natsu asked.
Harry nodded. "Yeah, but I don't know how."
"No problem, all we have to do is go to gramps." Natsu sniffed the air. "He's this way." They walk through some people on their way to a bar. Behind the bar was a beautiful, white haired woman about the same age as Harry. She is wearing a pink dress with white frills. She was talking to Gildarts and the smallest old man Harry was sure he has ever seen, while cleaning a glass.
They make it to the bar without any problems.
"Hey gramps, Harry here wants to join the guild," Natsu said.
"Oh, you're the one Gildarts was telling me about. Welcome to Fairy Tail. I'm Makarov Dreyar, the 3rd master of this guild," The old man said.
"I'm Harry Potter, and this is my friend Fawkes the phoenix," Harry introduced the both of them.
The white-haired, young woman came up to them with a stamp. "Where do you want your guild mark, and what color?" she asked with a kind, sweet smile that warmed Harry's heart.
Harry thought for a moment about the color, but where to put the mark was harder to think of. "In gold and…on the back of my right forearm," he said. The barmaid put the stamp down where Harry wanted, and with a pop and glow, a golden Fairy Tail guild mark was in place.
"There you go. Welcome to the guild! I'm Mirajane Strauss, but call me Mira. If you ever need anything like food, drinks, or wanting to go on a job you come to me," Mira said. "Does your phoenix friend want to join too?"
"Animals can join guild?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, just look at Happy's back." Harry looked and saw that Happy moved his bag to show his back, allowing him to see the green guild mark.
Harry turned to Fawkes. "You want to join?"
{I'm your familiar now, so yes, I wish to join,} Fawkes answered.
Harry told Mira what Fawkes said, and so she got the stamp ready again. "What color, and where?" Harry turned to his friend, waiting for the answer.
"He says on his back in a flame shade blue," Harry said. Mira put the mark on the bird, and the mark was a light-ish blue color.
"How, do I go on jobs?" Harry asked after remembering what Mira said before asking about Fawkes joining.
Mira pointed to a board that said, 'Job Requests'. "You go over there and pick the job you want, and then come over here so I can put it down and call the client to let them know that you have accepted the job," she explained.
"Thank you," Harry said.
"No problem. If you ever need any help, just ask."
Harry smiled in thanks again, but his seeker instincts told him to block. He cast an Expelliarmus, destroying a chair that has come flying at him. Harry was surprised that when he looked to see where the chair came from he saw chaos everywhere with Natsu and a shirtless guy in the middle. He turned to Gildarts. "I'm guessing this is what you meant by chaos?"
"Yup," Gildarts answered. Harry turned to face the master.
"Can I talk to you in privet?" he asked.
"Sure, follow me to my office." Makarov got up from his spot on the bar counter and walked toward his office with Harry following. They got into the office and sat down. "So, what did you want to talk about, Harry?"
Harry looked to Fawkes, who uses his head to point to the old man. "Fawkes wants me to tell you the title I have and my current power problem." Makarov gestured with his hand for him to continue. "My title is Master of Death, because I have all three of the Deathly Hallows; I can't remember what they are though. I know what they are, since they are the only thinks I had on me when I woke up with no memories, but I don't know the story behind them." He paused to catch his breath. "As for my power, I only remember one spell, and how it works. It's a disarming spell, but if you put too much power into it, you could send a person flying," Harry explained.
"Hmm, I see. Gildarts did mention something about your problems. It might be best to read that book you got and work in the guild before you take on any jobs from the board. You'll be paid for the work you do around here." Makarov thought for a moment. "Do you have a place to stay?" Harry shook his head. "Well, you could stay in the guest room here till you have found a place and have enough money for it."
"Thank you, Master," Harry said happily.
"You can call me gramps like everyone else here if you like. Here we treat each other like family," Makarov said warmly.
"Alright, thanks again, gramps!" Harry couldn't help it, but a huge grin spread across his face.
It has been a day since Harry spoke to Makarov. He is now at the moment reading the book he got for wand magic while sitting at the bar eating a small breakfast. He has read about two new spells, and is planning on practicing them later on in the day and mastering them before reading anymore spells. He put a bookmark in between the pages he left off; he got the bookmark from a blue, short haired girl who loves to read books by the name of Levy.
He was finishing up his food when Natsu came up to him. "Hey Harry, you want to come with me and Happy out on a job?" he asked.
Harry shook his head. "Sorry, I don't have enough spells to take on jobs. I forgot almost all of them. I remember one at the moment, but it's not really the best for fighting, even though I can use it for that. Maybe some other time when I have more spells. I want to go with someone for my first job."
"Hey, don't sweat it! I remember Igneel not allowing me to go hunting when I only knew one spell. He waited till I knew about four, and already mastered them. I look forward to going on a job with you, Harry! Something tells me we'll be an awesome team, right Happy?"
"Aye, Sir!" Happy shouted out.
Harry smiled. "Well, I'll see you guys when you get back from your job."
"You bet. See ya!" Natsu and Happy left after saying goodbye to him. Harry then turned to Mira. "Hey Mira, do you know what I could do around here for work?" he asked.
"Can you cook? I could use extra hands around the bar," she asked.
"Yeah, I can. On our way here to the guild, Gildarts couldn't cook to save his life, so I did the cooking. He said that my cooking is almost as good as yours," Harry said while blushing.
Mira smiled. "Good, then you can help me with cooking and delivering the food to the ones that ordered it." The two talked while cooking, and Mira even helped Harry with some of the ingredients that he has never seen before that go into the food. She taught him some different meals that the ingredients can go into as well. "I should get you a cook book. You seem to really enjoy cooking," she said.
While working together, Mira and Harry became friends with the approval of Fawkes.
It's been a few weeks since Harry joined Fairy Tail, and during those weeks he's been mastering the two spells that he read in his book. The spells are called, Jet Aquae* and Columna Ignis*; a water and fire spell. Fawkes was more than happy to help him learn the fire spell, but not so much the water. Harry wanted to learn the water spell, because if he caught something on fire he could put it out. He also learned that he can control the strength of the spells, but not by much, they were made for battle after all.
Harry, at this moment, is walking to the guild. He thought about what has been happening since he joined. He helped his new best friend, Mira, with cooking and taking orders for the guild members, and also helping with the guild library. When he first walked into the library and saw all those books he had a feeling that someone he knew would love being in there and reading all of them, but he couldn't remember the name of this person or even their face. Harry would sometimes stay in the library to read more about the magic in this new world he woke up in and also what happened in between, like finding out that there was a dragon war 400 years ago.
The next day after Harry joined he found out that Gildarts hadn't finished his mission that he was on, because he wanted to help Harry get to some place safe. There were a lot of creatures that lived in the Forbidden Forest that only S class wizards can take on, and Harry didn't know anything about the time he was in now and he only knew one spell. So, Gildarts put time aside to help Harry get to Fairy Tail, and then left the next day to get back to his mission.
The last thing that happened was that Harry found a nice little apartment to pay rent for. He got it really cheap, about 50,000 J. The moment he saw the place he fell in love with it. It has everything he needs to live, and thanks to Mira he could cook his own food without any problems.
Harry was almost at the guild, he could see it from where he was. He was thinking that he might go with Natsu on a job, but he wasn't sure. He thinks that he might want to start out small, nothing too crazy. He was sure that Natsu would understand; the pink-haired teen seemed to have more of an understanding of some things than people realize. It was like he was acting like an idiot, but really wasn't. Natsu can be dense a lot of times with things like if a girl found him cute, he didn't understand that the girl was trying to hit on him, he just thought she was being weird. It gave Harry and other members of the guild a good laugh. Harry tried to explain what the girl was doing, but Natsu still didn't understand, because he said that if she was trying to hit him she would be throwing punches.
So yeah, it's been an interesting few weeks. Harry made it to the front of the guild hall, and didn't hear any loud shouting or crashes. He heard people inside talking with each other and laughing, maybe Natsu and Gray weren't there.
He walks into the guild and goes over to the bar to help Mira tend to it, but he didn't see her there. He saw Makarov sitting at the bar drinking some boos. Harry walks over to the master.
"Hey gramps, where's Mira at?" he asked. He also looked around the guild, it felt like death was looming over everyone, but he knows that that's not true. "And why does it feel sad in here?" he asked his last question softly. He noticed that Gray was still in the guild while he was looking around, but Natsu wasn't.
Makarov took a swing of his beer before answering, "It's the anniversary of Lisanna's death. She was Mirajane's younger sister."
Harry felt his heart tighten a little at hearing this.
"Mira believes that it was her fault, because she brought her siblings with her on an S class mission. But her brother, Elfman, took it the hardest, because he lost control of the monster that they were trying to defeat, and the monster that was in control of him killed Lisanna. This all happened last year," Makarov explained.
When Harry heard this, he wouldn't have thought that a memory would be triggered. He saw himself and a man fighting someone, he thinks a woman, but he couldn't really see her. He saw the man clearly, and knew his name and who he was to Harry. The man's name was Sirius Black, and he was Harry's godfather. Harry remembers that he loved Sirius like a father as well, but that's all he could really remember of him.
Harry was trying to help Sirius fight off the wizards that were attacking them, but then a green light came from the woman's wand and hit Sirius – seeing the green light reminded Harry of the Killing Curse. Sirius fell into a veil and died. Harry remembered the reason they were in this place to begin with, he just couldn't remember anyone's names or faces. He fell into a trap, because he thought Sirius was there and being hurt, only to find out that he wasn't, and they got attacked. They got saved by some people with Sirius being one of them, and died saving him. He couldn't remember anything else after that.
Because of the memory, Harry knows what Mira must be feeling.
"Harry, are you alright? You spaced out for a moment," Makarov asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a memory of my godfather who passed away while trying to protect me," Harry answered with a shake of his head to clear his thoughts. "I'm going to look for Mira. I think I know what I can do to help her." Before anything else could be said, Harry left the guild hall in search of his friend.
It took Harry about an hour to find Mira – he didn't know where the graveyard was. He walks up quietly to her side and sits down next to her. They sat in silence for a few moments before Mira broke it.
"What are you doing here, Harry?" she asked sadly.
Harry turned his green eyes to meet her blue ones. "The master told me what happened. I'm sorry for your loss," he said softly. He turned to the gravestone in front of them. "I know the feeling of loosing someone. When I heard what happened, I had a memory. It was of my godfather that died protecting me. But the worst part about it was that it could've been avoided."
Mira didn't say anything while he spoke, and she waited for him to continue.
"You see, I fell into a trap. I can't remember who set it up, but I thought they had my godfather and were torturing him. So, I left with some friends – I think – to go and save him, only to find out he wasn't there, and that I fell into a trap that was set for me, but I can't remember why they wanted to trap me; maybe they wanted to kill me." He shrugged.
"They did catch us, but not for long. Sirius, my godfather, and a few others showed up to save us. He and I fought with some woman, who I think is downright insane, but I was in the way. I was able to knock her down, but I think there was someone else we were fighting, but she got back up and fired the Killing Curse at us, but is hit Sirius, because he got in between me and it." He heard Mira gasp. "After that, it's just blank. I can't remember anything else."
Mira looked down at her hands. "So, you loss someone close to you too; in a similar way as I."
Harry nodded his head. "Yeah, I believe that might be way I remembered it after hearing what happened with your sister." There was silence for just a moment.
"How did you get over it? Or do you not remember?" Mira asked. During the few week, everyone in the guild learned that Harry doesn't have his memories.
Harry thought for a moment. "I didn't, if what I'm feeling right now is anything to go by, but I think I remember faintly that someone told me it wasn't my fault. I don't know though, because it sounds like a far, far away voice that is teasing just over the hearing range. But you know what; I think it might be right." Harry turned to look into Mira's eyes. "You didn't know something bad would happen. At least for me I could have sent a message to see if Sirius was okay before going and falling into that trap. I knew it was possibly a trap, but I couldn't risk it, in case he was there."
"But I brought two non-S class wizards with me on an S class mission. I should have known that something would go wrong," Mira protested.
"Are you allowed to bring non-S class wizards with you on missions like that?" Harry asked.
"As long as there is at least an S class wizard with them and you get permission from the master, then yes."
"What was the mission?"
"We were to take down a beast. Elfman used his take-over magic on it, but the beast's soul was stronger than him." Mira took a deep breath. "Lisanna tried to talk some sense back into him, and it looked like it was working at first." Harry had a feeling that Lisanna wasn't the brightest witch. He knows that if something is out of control like that, you don't talk sense into it, you beat it into them. "But the beast controlling my brother slapped her across the canyon. I was too weak to fight at this moment, but I got up from the ground and ran over to her. She told me that it was neither mine nor Elfman's fault that it happened. She disappeared right in front of me and in my arms. I couldn't do anything to save her!" Mira broke down crying.
Harry brought her into a hug and let her cry on his shoulder. "I don't know what it feels like to have someone die in your arms, but at least you got to hear her say if wasn't your fault. When the Killing Curse hit Sirius that was it for him. You're dead the moment it touches you. And I lost his body to the veil. So, I couldn't even bury him. It would seem something like that happened to your sister as well." Harry took a breath. "I'm glad you got to hear her final words," he said sincerely.
They were holding each other for a few minutes, but when Mira calmed down she pulled away and smiled at Harry. "Thank you, Harry. You're the first person that I met that understands how I feel. I'm sorry you didn't get to hear your godfather's last words, but I'm sure he doesn't blame you either."
"Thanks Mira," Harry said smiling sadly. He got up while pulling Mira with him. "Let's get back to the guild. I'm sure we got some hungry guild members on our hands," he said with a smirk.
Mira laughed. "Yes, I'm sure we do. I don't know about you, but I don't want to risk someone touching the stove and blowing it up."
"Did that happen before?"
"Almost… Elfman tried to cook, but he burned everything," she said while giggling.
Harry laughed with her. "Let's go before someone else tries then." They left for the guild while holding hands. Their bond has grown deeper without them even knowing.
TBC
Jet Aquae = Water Jet / Columna Ignis = Fire Column
Yes, I'm trying to get Harry and Mira together. How am I doing so far? Once they're together, it really is only going to be mentioned. I don't like romance, but the person I got this from wanted Harry to date someone, so I just chose Mira for reasons that you just read. I thought they would be perfect for each other.
How did you guys like the way I triggered that memory for Harry? I thought it was clever. :)
As you can see, my fingers wouldn't stop typing. The first part of the chapter I didn't think would be so long, but Harry didn't want to make it simple for me. -_-
Harry: It's not my fault. :(
Enj/Dark: I know it's not, I'm just teasing you. :)
Voldy: I wasn't in this chapter…
Enj/Dark: You going to be showing up every now and then. -_-
Zeref: I'm guessing it's going to be the same for me? :/
Enj/Dark: Sadly yes. T^T
Natsu: Don't worry, brother. I'm sure that that one time in chapter one isn't going to be the last we see you.
Enj/Dark: He's right. :)
Harry: You're up to something… Should we worry? *looks back at everyone in the room*
Natsu: We might… :(
Enj/Dark: You guys are already starting to know me so well. :(
Zeref: You don't hide who you are here.
Harry: And you allowed me to see what you're like.
Enj/Dark: I guess you have a point…
Natsu: Please review! :D
