Caelum Virginis

VII:Welcome to your new home

Meanwhile in Britain Severus Snape was with his friend Remus Lupin, Creature Regulus' House Elf, and Merlin to find and retrieve his friend and Wendy's bearer; Regulus Black

"How will we defeat the Inferi?" Remus asked Merlin

"I will deal with them, all you have to focus on is getting Regulus out," Merlin said before they entered the cave as corpses slowly made their way towards them

"Creature where did you last see Regulus?" Severus asked as they left Merlin to deal with the many Inferi

"Master Regulus be right here," Creature said as he ran deeper into the cave

"Do you really think that he would still be alive when we get to him?" Remus asked as they ran after the house-elf

"According to Lady Le Fae, just bearly which is why we must hurry, now stop talking and run wolf," Severus said as he shot a cutting hex towards an incoming Inferi

"Demanding as ever," Remus murmured before he felt a stinging jinx being cast on his thigh

"I dare you to repeat yourself wolf," Severus said smirking 

"Remind me again why and how we became friends?" Remus said as he shot out a spell

"Because you were entranced by Regulus' hurt puppy look and thus the torture of having to spend time with each other in our sixth year began," he said making Remus blush

An hour later Severus was holding an unconscious Regulus Black in his arms as they made their way outside before apparating to Peverell Manor where they were all greeted by Ignotus.

"Morgana is ready for him," Ignotus said before they all walked toward Peverell Manor's healing wing where Morgana was preparing to heal Regulus, as for Fleamont he had just purchased a house in Magnolia Town in Fiore with Ignotus' help after being told that his beloved granddaughter was joining the local guild, Fairy Tail.

At present, the group of Fairy Tail mages, alongside the new entries Wendy, Carla, and Cubellious who at the moment was tiny and wrapped around Wendy's neck, sails back towards their Guild, having parted with their friends from the Allied Forces who were somewhat upset that Wendy didn't join their guild especially Eve. Lucy has obtained Angel's three Gold keys, Gemini, Scorpio, and Aries, who we're all favorably impressed by her kind attitude towards Celestial Spirits while Wendy obtained Caelum. The group reaches Fairy Tail, where they are welcomed back, with great excitement about Wendy and her Dragon Slayer Magic and Celestial Magic which shocked them at first. A great party is organized for the occasion, and everyone is happy. While his guildmates celebrate, Mystogan is briefly shown glancing at them before disappearing.

"Excuse me but is there a miss Wendy Marvell here?" a man asked before Wendy walked over to him followed by Natsu and Erza

"That's me," she said before the man gave her two pieces of paper, a new locket, and a house key

"These are from a Fleamont and Euphemia Potter, said that it's their way to apologize for missing so many birthdays," he said before Wendy opened the locket to hear a wonderful melody "The house is already paid for and is magically warded and protected so please enjoy"

"Wow," Wendy said in awe before Master Makarov walked over to her

"Wendy do you mind if Freed and Team Natsu went with you to see your new home just to test those wards," he said before Wendy nodded

Soon they were all standing in front of a six-bedroom two-story house that was just perfect for Wendy, Carla and her spirits since they don't often leave her alone at night

"These wards are very strong in fact I believe these are the strongest wards I have ever seen" a slim man of average height with waist-length light-green hair; his bangs are brushed to one side, covering the majority of the right side of his face, as well as a pair of thin lightning bolt-shaped strands jutting out backwards from the sides of his head. His hair is gathered at the end and tied in a short ponytail with a grey ribbon. His eyes are greenish-blue; beneath the left one lies a small beauty mark. In addition, he possesses prominent eyelashes. His outfit is his dark red knee-length double-breasted coat, which possesses a wide collar, large lighter-colored cuffs decorated by a darker line on the back part, and edges adorned by two, thin golden lines each. There are four yellow buttons closing said coat. Over it, around his waist, is a pair of buckled belts, attached to which, on his left hip, is his sword. Underneath, he wears a simple, light-colored shirt with large cuffs and a mildly high collar, mostly obscured by other pieces of his clothing, among which a light cravat tie around his neck said before Wendy noticed something on the door it was the Peverell Family crest and the Potter Family crest that her uncle's book showed her

"Wow Wendy this Fleamont guy sure knows how to buy a house" Gray comments appreciating the house "How do you know him?"

"He's my grandfather on my father's side" Wendy said her voice sounding sad "My uncle Ignotus told me that he and grandma Euphemia love me but can't be with me to keep me safe"

"Hm? Safe from what?" Erza asked

"I don't know all I know is that they can't be here" she said sadly making Cubellious resize herself and wrap around Wendy giving her a snakey hug

"Speaker shall be safe I will not allow anyone to hurt speaker" she said before glaring at Gray "How dare you make little speaker cry! You should know better"

"Why do I feel like you have just been scolded by a snake?" Freed remarked looking at Gray

"She did" Wendy chirped slightly happier now as she saw that Cubellious cared about her "Would you like to come in?"

"Sure" Natsu said

"Aye!"

As they explored the room Wendy noticed many paintings on the wall and a few pictures of a beautiful man and a blue haired baby in a sky blue blanket smiling at the camera

"Oh Wendy you were such a cute baby" Lucy cooed as she looked at the portrait

"T-Thank you Lucy-san" Wendy said blushing before they stopped at the living room which had a comfortable yet elegant design for everything and all the furniture had runes carved on them

"I am impressed" Freed said in awe at the ruin work on the furniture "These ruins allow these pieces of furniture to repair themselves when broken"

"Useful" Carla remarked glad for that small luxury

"Would you like to have dinner with us?" Wendy asked nervously after she saw that her fridge and cupboards were fully stocked "My aunt Morgana taught me how to cook and so did my last guild"

"Sure if you don't mind" Gray said smiling

"I'd sure love to"

"Aye sir"

"I won't mind"

"Sure thing"

"Of course I would love to accept"

That night everyone fell in love with Wendy's food and at Wendy's insistence, the guest rooms of the house were used for the first time to accommodate them allowing them all to get a good night's sleep.
