Mark1: So, normally I don't respond to guest reviews unless they piss me off (nothing against guest reviewers, I just don't want to artificially inflate the chapter's word count) but I decided to make an exception just this once. Yes, Healing Magic is considered a type of Lost Magic in Fairy Tail, it's specifically said that only Wendy (and later Sherria) know how to use it.

Lily was seated at a table next to James and across from Makarov as Harry and Levy debated about which job to take at the board..
"You took care of Harry?" Lily asked.
"Of course. Fairy Tail is a family, and they're all my children. I don't mean to usurp your position, but many of the younger generation here are orphans. Someone needs to be their parent, and I'm more than willing to take the role."
"Thank you," James said, "for everything you've done for Harry."
"It was nothing- oh, hello Henrietta, how are you?"
"Good," a white, winged cat said, before focusing on Lily and James, "Is it true? You're my grandma and grandpa?"
Lily's mind stuttered to a halt. From the look on James's face, he was just as dumbfounded.
"I- What?"
"Harry and Levy hatched Henrietta, so she treats them as her parents," Makarov explained. Of course a flying cat was hatched from an egg, it wasn't that much more bizarre than some species' birthing method back home, like the basilisk.
"Um, I guess?"
"That's great!"
"Alright," Harry said, walking over with Levy and Lisanna, "We picked a job. Slaying a volcano demon and its minions. Shouldn't be too hard, half a day there, half a day back."

James watched as Harry curled up on the bench of the train, head in Levy's lap as he groaned pitifully. Lisanna sat next to them, running a hand through Harry's hair, "Does this happen often?"
"Only every time we travel," Levy said, "It's a Dragon Slayer thing, they don't like moving vehicles very much."
"We should try a broom,"James suggested, "maybe if it's something under your power you won't gwt nauseous?"
"We'll- urg- see," Harry groaned, before lunging his head out the train window and the noise of half digested food came from him. Levy patted his back comfortingly.
"I have to ask," Lily said, "What's you're relationship with Harry, I mean, you can't both be-"
"His Girlfriend," Lisanna and Levy said as one. It took a moment for it to register that they were confirming their relationship status and not finishing Lily's sentence. James hid his shit eating grin behind his hand as Lily looked scandalized. Oh, Sirius was gonna love this, he'd be howling about his godson being a casanova.
"And you're fine with that?" Lily asked incredulously.
"Yes."
"O-ok then," Lily said .
"Kill me," Harry moaned pitifully, hanging out the window.
"You'll survive," Lisanna said comfortingly, "it's only a couple more hours."
"So we're hunting a Volcano Demon," James said, "is that one of the ones made by that Zeref guy?"
"Oh, no," Levy said, "We would never take you on such a dangerous mission. A volcano demon is a mid-ranked demon, known for causing volcanic eruptions when they plunge their sword into the ground. They're normally surrounded by imps, which are low-level demons that enjoy fire."
"Plans simple," Harry said, head still out the window, "I eat its sword, then we kill it."
"...Eat his sword?" James said.
"I'm a Sword Saint Dragon Slayer, it's what I- urg- do."

Lily watched as Harry heaved for breath as he exited the train car, grumbling, "I hate those things."
"We know," Lisanna said comfortingly, rubbing her significant other's back. And that was something that made Lily's mind spin. Harry and two girlfriends, both knew about each other, and neither seemed to mind. In fact, they seemed to get along quite well! It didn't make any sense to Lily.
Harry sniffed the air, before saying, "Oh, yeah, it's not even trying to be subtle, raising a huge stink. North-Northeast, is there a town in that direction?"
"I think so," Levy said.
Lily sniffed the air, not smelling anything other than the train's exhaust, "How can you tell?"
"Yeah, I don't smell anything either," James said.
"You aren't Dragon Slayers," Harry said, beginning to walk in the direction he had stated. Lisanna and Levy began to follow after Harry, and then Lily and James, after sharing a confused look, took off after them. Having a "Dragon Slayer" for a son was going to be strange, they could tell.
They trekked through the woods, until they found burning trees and fifty little, horned creatures dancing around them, cackling. Harry drew his saber, while a circle appeared above Lisanna, and another appeared above Levy's hand.
Harry raised the blade above his head, a circle appearing around his feet. In a flash, three things happened. Lisanna suddenly changed into a white and black fur bikini, alongside a cat's tail, ears and claws, "Animal Soul: Cat!". Levy threw her hand and called, "Solid Script, Ice!" A wall of ice shaped like the word "ice" came from Levy's hand, freezing several of the small creatures solid, and Harry snapped his eyes open, his sword falling in a flash, and tree, creature, ice wall and even falling leaves were split in two, "Deposing of the Realm of Death!"
"Harry," Lisanna whined, "You didn't let me do anything."
"We have to hurry, I smell burning flesh," Harry said simply, sheathing his sword and running forwards, Lisanna sprinting on all fours next to him and Levy, James and Lily taking up the rear.

Harry entered the village at a sprint, finding hundreds of imps dancing around the volcano demon.
It looked like a bulky suit of armor made of obsidian, with lava leaking from each joint. It's head was a black, crowned thing, and as it turned towards them, it revealed an eyeless, noseless face with a rictus grin drooling lava. A burning greatsword made of obsidian sat in one hand, a civilian impaled on it, mouth opened in a silent scream.
"Take out the imps first! Underworld Black Purgatory Slash!" Harry called, drawing Ereshkigal and creating a vortex of wind around himself, dashing into the center of a pack of imps, throwing them in the air and dashing them to pieces. Lisanna rushed in, slashing with her claws while Levy threw out Solid Script attacks. Even James and Lily got involved, pulling out wooden wands and making slashing gestures with them, imps being cut in half by seemingly nothing.
The volcano demon stomped closer, dropping the smoldering corpse from the sword and leaving footsteps of lava in its wake. It swung its sword for Lisanna, who dodged it with ease, flipping out of the way of the attack. It made another wide swing, only for the tip of its sword to be caught by Harry's teeth. Harry broke it off, swallowing the first third of the blade before biting down and breaking off the midsection.
Oh, yeah, there was the rush.
Harry activated Dragon Force, leaping back and pulling Ereshkigal back so it was even with his face, two fingers pressing against the side of the blade, frost gathering on it "Levy!"
"Right! Solid Script: Ice!" The frost grew heavier and Harry and Levy called out as one, "Unison Raid: Cocytus Piercer!"
Harry shoved Ereshkigal into the demon's chest, try the lava immediately going out as ice crawled out from the wound. Eventually half the demon's torso was frozen, and Harry kept back, "Hit it now!"
"Solid Script: Smash!"
"Bombarda!" Came from Lily and James.
"Animal Soul: Gorilla!" Lisanna transformed into a pure white, hulking ape and leapt at the demon's back, smashing her fist into its spine.
The lava across the body went out, and the obsidian crumbled away, leaving nothing to show the Volcano Demon had been there.
