~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Natsu was leaning against the wall of the carriage in pain. Gray was sitting as far away from him as possible. Levy seemed to not know what to do and was reading and saying spells softly... Lucy just sat there. She didn't know what to say or do... but the tension in the air was too much for her... she just had to break the ice.

"So... are you guys looking forward to going to Hogwarts?"

The question came out awkward and tense.

"I... guess..." Gray said slowly.

"My... step brother... attends Hogwarts.... he's in Slytherin... though I haven't heard from him...in a long time...." he trailed off...

"Gr...gry...gryffindor....." Natsu said quietly, and in pain.

"If only Erza was here to sort you out." Gray said sharply to him.

"Who's Erza?" Lucy asked, Levy had also looked up from her book.

"She's scary..." Gray said quietly. 

"She can kick down mountains with a single kick!"

Lucy shivered, that 'Erza' seemed very frightening... no wonder she seemed to scare both Natsu and Gray.

A sound was then heard. It came from the direction of where Natsu was seated. Lucy, Levy and Gray all turned to face the motion sick wizard to see a small blue kitten.

"WHERE DID THE KITTEN COME FROM?! AND WHY IS IT BLUE?!?!?!" Lucy shrieked.

"Stop overreacting." Gray bluntly stated.

"It's soo cute!" Levy cooed.

The cat blinked it's large eyes and seemed to pat Natsu on the back. 

"Th-thanks.... Happy...." Natsu said softly... he seemed to feel slightly better with the appearance of his best friend.

"So it's called 'Happy.'" Lucy said, observing the current situation.

"Not, it's... he...." Levy slowly corrected her with a thoughtful smile. 

"How did you know?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Just a hunch..."

Gray watched knowingly.

"You're right... Levy, was it?"

Levy nodded, pleased that she had guessed the gender of the kitten. 

"Happy is Natsu's best friend." Gray snickered.

"Because he's the only one that can stand him."

Lucy watched the kitten pat Natsu on the back. She had never seen a kitten or cat... or any animal act this way before... and the shade of his fur, was so peculiar... it was either, she hadn't gone out enough... or the magical world was truely amazing.

"I... I can hear you, you know! Fi... FIGHT ME WHEN WE'RE OFF THIS TRAIN!" Natsu shouted at Gray, who just laughed.

Lucy face-palmed. 

There was a knock on the door of the carriage. A small dimple faced woman, pushing a cart full of colourful treats smiled at them.

"Anything off the cart dears?"

Lucy had never been able to buy treats by herself before... and these weren't normal treats... they were different... wizard treats!

She bought some of each item that was on sale, chocolate frogs, Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans, cauldron cakes, pumpkin pasties and many more! She shared them with Levy, (Natsu was still being sick and Gray had bought his own food) who had contributed in some money, and together they admired the strange new treats, savouring the peculiar flavours.

"I got... Mavis Vermillion... again." Levy said, admiring the chocolate frog card that she had just received.

"I got Harry Potter again." Lucy said.

Natsu was leaning on the wall of the carriage still and Gray was picking at his food and eating it in small bites to buy time. Lucy looked out the window to see beautiful scenery she had never seen before in her life! The luscious green trees and clear lakes!

She learnt that Gray was a half blood too, and that his father was a wizard, and his mother a muggle. She didn't know about Natsu, (As he was still sick) but Gray said that Natsu was adopted and didn't know, or forgot about his parents. Levy explained to her, more about the 4 houses at Hogwarts and Gray said repetitively that he wished to be in Gryffindor. 

Lucy felt that she probably wasn't Gryffindor material.

After a few hours, that felt like forever, the Hogwarts Express finally stopped. Students rushed out of the train into the dark. Lucy stuck together with Levy, (Gray and a recovered Natsu had run off somewhere,) and they followed a crowd of students and a voice and lamp shouting out

"First years! First years!"

It was Loke, he didn't seem too enthusiastic about the job but still managed a smile. 

"You'll get to see Hogwarts soon, just around this bend here!"

There was a loud 'oooohing' sound as students, including Lucy and Levy stood in amazement, looking out a vast castle, perched on a mountain surrounded by a black lake.  The windows sparkled and the starry night sky made the view even more beautiful. Lucy could feel butterflies in her stomach, as she stood in amazement. Levy was speechless.

"No more than four to a boat!" Loke shouted over the first years, as he pointed to a fleet of small boats.

Lucy entered a boat with Levy and two other students. After everyone was seated in a boat, Loke shouted 'FOWARD!' and all the little boats at once, glided across the lake. They sailed nearer and nearer to the mountain which the castle sat upon.

"HEADS DOWN!" Loke shouted over to them, as the first boats met land. They were carried through a tunnel until they reached a underground harbour, which they climbed out of their boats to rest their feet on rocks and pebbles. They walked up a passageway in the rock and at last, came onto smooth soft grass... in the shadow of the castle.

They walked up stone steps to meet a giant oak door. Loke knocked on the door 3 times... and the door swung open at once. 

A tall muscular man, with orange hair to his shoulders and a stubbly beard met them. 

"The first years, Professor Clive." Loke said to him.

"I guess I'm supposed to take it from here. Thanks Leo." The man said.

He pulled the door wide, the stone walls were lit by flaming torches at once. Lucy could here voices from a doorway on the right - it must be the rest of the school, she thought. 

Professor Clive showed them to a small chamber off the hall, which they all entered, Lucy could spot Natsu (because of his hair) and Gray beside him. There was a lot of muttering... everyone must be nervous, Lucy thought.

"WELCOME TO HOGWARTS!" Professor Clive exclaimed loudly with pride. Lucy felt the butterflies in her stomach come to a roar...
