I was going to time skip to when Lucy joined the guild, but decided that I wanted Harry to go on his first job before doing so. I hope you all like it! :)

It has been a week since Harry comforted Mira at the graveyard, and the two have grown closer, but they didn't realize it. Harry still helps Mira around the guild, but he also feels like he's ready to go on his first job. So, that is what he is doing. He's at the board with Fawkes on his shoulder and Natsu and Happy next to them.

"So, what kind of job do you want to go on for your first?" asked Natsu when he turned to face Harry.

Harry thought about it for a moment. "I still only know three spells," 'maybe four,' "so I don't want to go on anything too crazy," Harry finished saying. He looked a little more and found one. He grabbed it and showed it to Natsu and the others. "How about this one? All we have to do is find a 500 year old book and give it to the client."

Harry can tell that Natsu wasn't sure; he found out that Natsu really likes fighting.

"We might have to get it off of people, if what it says at the bottom is true. The client found the book, but before he even had a chance to open it he was ambushed, and the book was stolen," Harry explained, getting Natsu's attention.

Natsu grinned widely. "Let's do this!" He grabbed the request from Harry and walked over to Mira at the bar. "We'll be taking this job," he said while showing the paper.

Harry walked over to Natsu, Happy, and Mira with a small smile on his face; he started to see Natsu as a little brother, so every time Natsu started acting like this, it makes him happy.

Mira smiled. "I'm glad that you're finally going on your first job, Harry. Hope you boys have a safe trip," she said cheerily.

The two teens and two animals left the guild hall and started walking for the train. When they got there, Natsu didn't look like he wanted to get on. Harry looked to Happy to find out why.

"Natsu gets motion sickness," explained Happy innocently.

"I don't want to get on the god awful thing," Natsu said, looking sick already.

{He acts like the train is his worst enemy,} Fawkes said with a sweat drop over his head.

Harry looks sadly over to his friend. "Sorry, Natsu, but it's the only way we can get to where we need to be," he said. "When we get back, I'll cook you dinner." Natsu's head snapped up at that. Harry knows that his cooking is now one of Natsu's weaknesses. If he has to get Natsu to do something he doesn't like, all Harry has to do is cook him dinner.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Natsu exclaimed, running onto the train. Harry grinned evilly, following the Dragon Slayer onto the train as well, and just in time too, because the doors closed right behind him and the train started to move.

Harry found out that Natsu took the closest seat to the door, and is already lying on it, panting, and looking a little green.

"Get me off this thing…" Natsu moaned in pain.

"How long until we get to our location?" Happy asked Harry.

Harry looked at the job request. "About 3 hours." Natsu moaned again at hearing the answer. Harry felt sorry for him, but he sat on the opposite seat of him, pulled out his spell book, and waited for their stop.


Natsu and Harry were walking while Fawkes and Happy were flying next to them to get to the client's home. Once in front of the house, the two flying creature landed on their shoulders, and Harry knocked on the door. A man that looks to be in his 60s opens the door and asks if they were from Fairy Tail.

"Yes, we are, sir," Harry confirmed with a polite smile. They go in and talk to the man about the job. When the man found the book, he brought it home, and before he had a chance to look at it, bandits ambushed him and stole it. This happened a week ago, and the bandits are still close by stealing from the town's people.

"Leave it to us, old man," Natsu said arrogantly while punching a fist into his other hand. They leave to find the bandits.

Harry and Natsu had their two flying friends search for the thieves from the air, while they looked from the ground. Harry asked some of the people if they knew where the bandits hang out, and they pointed to the forest not that far from them.

"I wouldn't go in there if I were you. That lot is dangerous," they all said.

Harry had Fawkes fly over the forest while he looked for Natsu and Happy. He found Happy first, and asked him to find Natsu and meet him by the forest. Once he's done that, Harry goes back to the forest and waited.

Fawkes got back the same time Natsu and Happy met up with him. Harry looks to his familiar and asks, "Did you find them?"

Fawkes nodded. {Yes, they are not that far from here. Follow me,} he said while turning and flying back the way he came while the other three followed close behind.

They found the bandits at their camp, who were laughing and making fun of the people of the town. The bandits' mockery angers Harry, Natsu, and Happy. Fawkes is just unimpressed by these humans.

Natsu wanted to charge in, but Harry stops him. "Wait, we don't know where the book is. We might destroy it if we just charge in there," he explained quietly.

"Then what do we do?" Natsu asked.

Harry turns to Happy and Fawkes. "Happy, Fawkes, while Natsu and I distract them, you two look for the book. Once we're done knocking out the bandits, we tie them up, bring them to the authorities, and tell the people where they can find all their missing items," he laid out.

Fawkes rubbed his head on Harry's arm. {Good plan, fledgling.} Harry smiled in thanks at the praise.

"Natsu and I will go first. Once we have their attention, you two will go in and look for the book." Everyone nodded their heads at Harry's words. "Let's move." Harry and Natsu jumped out from behind the bush that they were hiding behind, causing the bandits to nearly give themselves whiplash from turning to face them.

"There is something you stole, and we're here to take it back!" Natsu exclaimed. The bandits laughed at Natsu's claim, and bring out their weapons. Harry brings out his wand, and Natsu set his fists on fire.

"It looks like they're stupid enough to fight us. Fawkes says that none of them are wizards," Harry said, which made Natsu grin widely.

"Well, let's hope that those weapons can still give us a challenge," said Natsu while he cracked his knuckles.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Not unless I disarm them…"

"Then don't disarm them."

"I might have to." Harry and Natsu waited for the bandits to make the first move; they didn't have to wait for long. The bandits with close-combat weapons charged at them, but they didn't even get close to the two wizards.

"Fire Dragon Rooooaaaaar!" Natsu shouted, sending a huge steam of fire at the enemy from his mouth.

"Columna Ignis!" From the tip of Harry's wand after he shouted the spell, came a column of fire that is half the size of Natsu's roar.

Both of Natsu and Harry's attacks hit their marks, but it also hit some trees, which caught on fire.

"Jet Aquae," Harry said quickly, shooting water from his wand onto the fire to put it out before it spread.

The bandits that have long range weapons stood frozen, and Harry knows that Natsu wants to have this last, but they almost destroyed the forest and the book. Harry decided he wasn't taking any chances. He lifted his wand and disarmed all of them one by one, but before he could get the last one disarmed, the bandit fired his gun. The bullet hit Harry in his wand arm, making him cry out in pain.

Natsu heard the cry, which made him see red. He charged at the bandit while shouting, "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" The flaming fist hit the bandit in the face, sending him flying into a tree. "That's what you get for hurting my friend!" Natsu shouted angrily. He turned and ran over to Harry to check on him. "Are you okay, Harry?" he asked worriedly.

Harry nodded his head, saying that he will be fine. He willed his magic to push the bullet out of the wound. It took a few moments, but he got the piece of metal out of his arm. Before either Harry or Natsu could close the wound, Fawkes came over with Happy right behind him, who was carrying the book in his paws. Fawkes landed right in front of Harry and looked at the wound. He started crying, which confused Natsu and Happy, but when they saw the tears land on the wound, they realized what was going on; the tears were healing Harry's injury.

"He could just do that!?" Natsu and Happy exclaimed loudly in shock. "Fawkes just healed you arm with tears! I didn't even know that was possible!" Natsu shouted some more.

Harry calmed his two friends down. "Fawkes is a phoenix, guys. They have healing powers within their tears," he explained. "Let's tie these guys up and get back to the client." They didn't know what they were going to use to tie them up with, but luckily for them the bandit had ropes just waiting for them to be used.


"Hmm," the client hummed in thought while he looked at the book he asked Natsu and Harry to get for him. "I thought this was a spell book, but it's a potion book instead. If it was what I thought it was, I was going to fix this up and sell it, but no one really uses potion these days."

"You mean to tell me we did all that for nothing?" Natsu said rudely, getting and elbow in the arm and a glare from Harry.

"No, you didn't do it all for nothing. You got rid of the bandits for us, and returned everyone's stuff to them. So, you'll still get paid for that," the client said.

"Do you still want the book?" Harry asked. The client replied with a shake of his head. "Then can I have it? It might be of use to me."

"I don't see why not. I'll give it to you as part of your payment." Harry was happy about that. They got their money, and Harry got the potion book that might trigger another memory.


Harry is at his apartment after he and Natsu slit the money two ways, so he got 20,000 J. He put 10,000 of it away in a safe, so he could save some money for when he needs it. Harry at the moment is at his desk flipping through the pages, carefully, of the potion book. He doesn't know really any of the ingredients for the potions besides the phoenix tears.

Harry got to the back of the book cover where it had some kind of name: 'Half-Blood Prince'. Harry was confused for a moment, knowing he heard that name from somewhere. Then it clicked. "Snape…" he muttered quietly. Harry started to see Snape in his head. What he looked like, him being Harry's potion professor, remembering that he was a jerk, and also that he was trying to protect Harry from someone, but Harry can't remember who Snape was trying to protect him from; what he also remembers is that Snape was killed.

'Is there going to be a memory where there is someone who doesn't die in front of me?' Harry thought sadly, but was snapped out of his musing when he heard Natsu come through his window. 'I guess that means I should get dinner ready.'


Inside a Dark Guild hall, the master falls on the ground dead along with two others that have been killed before him. The rest of the members of this guild all take a step back away from the creature that just killed two of their strongest as well as their master like it was nothing.

"I'll ask again: where do you keep the books?" the creature asked in a hiss. The members back away farther in fright; this was the reason he killed the other three. They wouldn't help find what he was looking for, so one of the braver ones point to the back of the guild.

"T-they're just back there," the dark guild member stuttered.

"Show me…" the creature hissed. The member walked over to the door quickly while being followed by this snake-like creature. He opened the door for him, and the creature walks in as well as the others. "Which books do you have on Zeref's demons?" the creature asked.

The dark wizards froze at the question. "We only have one book on them," one of them said, and walked over to the book that he mentioned. He picked the book up, walked back over to the creature, and handed it over.

The creature flipped through the pages, and skimmed over the words, but didn't find anything important. He hissed in anger.

"You're all useless to me… Avada Kedavra!" A green light filled the room multiple times after the creature locked the room up to stop the members from leaving. One by one the dark wizards dropped dead with loud thuds. With all the dead members, including the other three in front of the guild hall, this makes 50 deaths. "These wizards were weak; they were a waste of time." He looked down at the book still in his hands. "This book did say there was a guild filled with Zeref's demon, but the location is unknown. I'll have to find more well known Dark Guilds if I want to have a following, and getting information about these demons," Voldemort said. He dropped the book and left out of the room.

While he was walking out of the guild hall, he didn't notice a tiny, imp-like creature that has a crown made of leaves, and wears a small cape sitting in the shadows of one of the corners of the room. Once Voldemort was out of the building, the creature giggled evilly before leaving the guild hall as well.

Can anyone guess who that little creature was? It should be easy. :) He's one of Zeref's.

Harry had another memory! :D And Voldy now has 50 on his body count. Let's see who would win in the end: Zeref or Voldemort?

Is it just me, or did I make Harry sound more Slytherin in some of this chapter?

Last thing that needs to be said is: vote on the poll! If you're having trouble choosing, go to Harry Potter wiki, and then look at the houses. Thank you! :)

Harry: You make it sound like a game. :(

Enj/Dark: What, with the body count?

Harry: *nods his head*

Enj/Dark: Oh… I kinda do, don't I?

Zeref: Yes, now why do you do it?

Enj/Dark: I do it, because there are 2 powerful dark wizards that people fear to the point they wouldn't say ones name, and for the other, they rather kill themselves than be in the world with him.

Harry: Hold on. Zeref is THAT bad?! D= No one wants to be in the same world as him?

Enj/Dark: If what they say is anything to go by, then yes.

Voldy: What do they say?

Enj/Dark: Basically, 'If Zeref were to ever return, it would the worst thing that could happen to this world.' Or something like that.

Natsu: People dread his return, but what they don't know is… *get hit over the head* OW!

Enj/Dark: Don't tell Harry and Voldemort that. I need their reaction for later.

Voldy&Harry: ?

Zeref: Please review.
