Mysterious Fates (A Harry Potter Crossover)

Chapter 42: Professor Toadface

A/N: Here's to Fairy Tail's open ending to the series! (And not having to change anything in this story concerning them in the process muwhahahahah honestly bless Mashima-)

Anyway, I'm so sorry for the late chapter! About a month ago, I actually got laser eye surgery so that I won't have to use my glasses anymore. I couldn't use anything for a couple of days so finishing this chapter is dragging out more than I wanted it to T_T. I'm planning on doing monthly updates rather it being just completely random though, so keep an eye out for that ahahahaha

Enjoy this update! :D

Chapter 42: Professor Toadface

The first thought that appeared in my brain when Ginny said that: I had to tell Hermione.

I sat there stunned, unable to move a single muscle. Celestial Spirit keys. How and where the hell did Daphne manage to find them?!

"Subha?" asked Cody in a concerned tone. "You alright?"

"I'm fine," I lied. "Come on, let's get going."

"Are you sure?" asked Zack. "If there's anything-"

"Guys, leave it," said Ginny. She then lowered her voice and added, "We'll explain everything later this evening."

Thankfully, that seemed to shut up the two as we headed out of the hall to class and continued to keep their mouths zipped for the rest of the day.

Binns was boring as usual. I was able to focus for about three minutes before boredom caught up to me and I would've almost fallen asleep if Hermione hadn't prodded me awake from time to time.

"Honestly, Subha," said Hermione as we walked out of the classroom. "Can't you try to stay awake?"

"Kinda hard when all Binns does is drone," I grumbled.

Hermione smiled gently. "At least try, will you?"

"Alright, fine. Speaking of which, um, we've got a bit of a predicament."

Hermione stopped in her tracks and sighed. "What did you do this time, Subha?"

"Nice to know you trust me, Hermione," I deadpanned.

"There are times where I trust you just about as much as I trust Fred and George's products," said Hermione flatly. "Now what's going on?"

I rolled my eyes. "Name the Zodiac spirits and you'll have a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about."

"What in Merlin's name....oh bother. Aquarius, Capricorn, Virgo, Leo-" Hermione paused. Then her eyes widened and turned towards me. "Impossible," she hissed. "How?!"

"They were all in Daphne's usual care package this morning. All of Lucy's keys."

Hermione's jaw hung in the air. "How did Daphne even-" she stopped mid sentence and adopted a calculating look. About a minute later, she then proceeded to smack her head. "Of course. I am such a bloody idiot!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Care to explain, Granger?"

"I heard a rumor last year before the summer holidays."

"....about what?"

"About your mum. The rumor that Priya Patel used to have Celestial Spirit keys in her possession."
