The group was now looking around to see if anything suspicious. In other words, Luffy looked like a weirdo in the Wizarding School while the others try to make sure he didn't make the other students feel creeped out.

''People are seeing you this way. Don't go burn our image around the whole castle.'' Said Nami hitting the Gryffindor boy in the head

''Let try to lay low. The holidays are still a few weeks, so we have enough time together before we can go scooping around this castle.'' Said Usopp.

''Yes, the soon we discover what is hidden the soon I can kill that dog.'' Said Zoro with a grim

''Can we change the subject to something not involving us dying to find whatever Luffy is trying to find.'' Said Usopp

Luffy seeing the desperation from his friend face decided to change the subject to a more common thing around people of their ages.

''Ok. Who do you think will win the house coup?" Asked Luffy making the others interested.

''I think Slytherin. Not just saying but we are the winning champs of this year.'' Said nami

''Congratulations you two. It must be great be on the best house.'' Said Luffy

''Yes, we gathers some impressive points this year. Our house is sure to win.'' Said Nami with a smile

''Plus, we haven't broken any rule yet, so few points were taken. That stupid trophy is ours.'' Said Zoro with a grim in his face. He didn't care about this stupid house coup, but he would like to win.

''don't celebrate too soon. There is still a whole semester left.'' Said Sanji looking at Zoro with a challenging face.

''I don't know you all, but the winner of this year it will be Hufflepuff.'' Said Usopp with a grim

''Your house. Why?'' Asked Nami

''Because I am gathering all a bunch of cool stuff to do in the next semester. You will all see, once the holidays are over Hufflepuff will dominate the house cup.'' Said Usopp with a grim.

''Sure.'' Said Nami with a smile

Luffy enjoyed having this kind of conversations with his friends. Usually, students only talked about their houses, test, spells, wizarding cards (which he only collected randomly) and other wizarding stuff, but Luffy liked to have a simple conversation like the muggles do. He didn't understand why Wizards still see them as weird creatures.

Soon he remembered an important thing to ask to his friends.

''Hey, Christmas is coming. Where are you guys going?'' Asked him

''I´m spending here. I told the old fart and those idiots that I have some stuff to do, so they understood.'' Said Sanji with a smile

''Me too. I don't have any parents waiting me at home. I have my friends, but I can live one holiday without seeing them.'' Said Usopp with also a smile.

''I going with my sisters back home. Is traditional that we spent holiday with our father and pray for the dead.'' Said Zoro.

''And me and Nojiko are going home. No way I am letting our mom spend Christmas alone.'' Said Nami all serious.

''And me and my brothers decide to stay here. We are ok with each other company. We just need to send some letters to our family.'' Said Luffy

''Do your owl can make deliver?'' Asked Usopp

''My owl can.'' Said Luffy all happy

''Mine too.'' Said Nami

''Cool.'' Said Sanji with a smile

''We got the best owls in the entire schools. This I can guarantee.'' Said Usopp.

''What are your owls names?'' Asked Luffy

''Cocoyashi.'' Said Nami

Her owl was partially white with some orange layers of feathers. Also smelled a lto like tangerines.

''Ryuma.'' Said Zoro

His owl was an old one that once belong to his father. The bird had gone to some tough days, is even missing an eye but that doesn't stop him from delivering the message.

''Reiju.'' Said Sanji

Sanji owls was all feminine with some tones of pinks. In honor of his distance sister (who he missed but his brother and father not so much).

Side note (The Germa Kingdom are a well know Wizard family from France mostly know from their development in Wands and others magical objects. Sanji ran away when he was young just like in canon, but this is not the time)

''Sonny.'' Said Usopp

His owl was a little weird out and goody. Delivered the message on the right time, had a nice layer of brown feathers and also was good in digging dirt.

''Cool mine is Collen. She is the best!'' Said Luffy thinking of his pet owl. A gift of Makino and Shanks when he was a kid. That bird saved luffy life more times that he can count. Always looking after him with her dark eyes and grey feathers, she is like a messenger ready to go wherever Luffy goes.

''Well, is good to hear that.'' Said Nami

''Sometimes my family says she is smarter than me.'' Said Luffy with a smile not understanding the insult.

''Wow. How much they love him.'' Said Usopp with a sweat drop.

''don't worry about all this. We have enough time to resolve this mystery. Is kind cool don't you all think to solve this kind thing right here in Hogwarts. I hope it is full of diamonds too this stone.'' Said Nami just imagining the money she could win with that Philosopher Stone.

''You guys are right, but we have a big problem still about this whole quest thing.'' Said Zoro

''Who will bring down that dog?" Asked Luffy

''Yes, that too but we need to be careful. If we get caught we can get expel.'' Said Sanji

''I heard that. Hogwarts has teachers all over the place not to mention the monitors.'' Said Usopp with a gulp

''I guess we need to be careful around our search.'' Said Nami

''I don't know about that. I mean we hang out with him.'' Said Usopp pointing at Luffy

''Luffy, if you want to make sure nobody gets in trouble over this Philosophers Stone thing you need to be quiet around the teachers. You heard.'' Said Nami

''Sure guys. I won't tell us in.'' Said Luffy

At Lunch

Ace was eating tons of food all by himself, or at least before Jewelry Bonney comes along and eats all the pizza from the table. Soon Luffy appear and sit next to his older brother.

''Hey Ace, are you busy?" Asked Luffy

''No, I am not? This is only a warmup to dinner.'' Said Ace stuffing his face

''Well, if isn't the most glutton Gryffindor students ever.'' Said a very cool voice entering in the picture

Soon the two boys saw their brother Sabo walking alone. All fine with his usual smile and his Ravenclaw ropes.

''Sabo!'' Scream the two brothers.

''Hey Luffy, Ace. So, everything is good?'' Asked Sabo

''Tell me about you how is your daily life.'' Said Ace ot the blonde.

''Not that much. Been busy studying and kicking ass in my spell club. Also, Koala don't let me off alongside Law and Nojiko. You know how things are hard.'' Said Sabo all relaxed sitting on the Gryffindor table much to the people around shock

''Sure.'' Said Ace with a smirk giving Sabo a steak to eat.

''Hey, can I ask you two something?''' Asked Luffy

''And what is it?'' Asked Sabo

''Do you guys ever heard about something called the Philosopher Stone?" Asked Luffy

The two boys were now genioulsy confused. In two years in Hogwarts, they never heard of such a thing like this stone. It might be some old wizard legend and Luffy being the carefree guy that he is might thought it is true.

''No sorry.'' Said Sabo

''Yes, sorry Luffy but no.'' Said Ace

''Are you sure? I mean you two are pretty smart guys.'' Said Luffy a little confused

''Luffy we never lied to you.'' Said Ace all sincere

''Yes, so we are serious about this.'' Said Sabo

''Oh right.'' Said Luffy seeing that they were speaking the truth.

''So why are you asking about this?" Asked Sabo.

''Because I read about a book this stone and wondered if you two have actually seen it.'' Said Luffy and that got the two to laugh.

''You know most wizard write stuff down and never managed to seen or proven what they saw was real.'' Said Ace.

''I don't know. We live kind in a world full of possibility.'' Said Luffy

''That are myths than not even Dumbledore or Gold Roger were able to reveal if was true or not.'' Said Sabo.

Ace kind flitch upon hearing the name Gold Roger. A name that has only brough he and his mother shame and sadness. Luffy and Sabo saw their brother sad face and soon try to cheer him up.

''Sorry bro.'' Said Sabo feeling remorse.

''Is ok. You didn't mean it.'' Said Ace with a smile

Luffy knew about ace problem with Roger. While he admire both men he knew to never mention the great wizard name near Ace or he would either get sad or mad.

''Well, I guess this is all I have to ask.'' Said Luffy

''Are you sure?" Asked Sabo with a smile

''Sorry but I have things to do with my friend.'' Said Luffy with a smile

''You passing by the dining tables and don't want something? Come on Luffy we know you want some food.'' Said Ace giving luffy some cream puffs.

''Well maybe a bite.'' Said Luffy.

10 Minutes

Luffy was with a belly full of food. He ate a lot and made a lot of wizards and witches drop their jaws over how glutton he was.

''Well, that was good.'' Said him.

''that's the normal for 3 people.'' Said Sabo with a laugh as he eats some steak.

''I need plenty of food to help me cast spell.'' Said Luffy givn a cheesy excuse.

''Go do other stuff you brat.'' Said Ace passing a hand on Luffy hair.

''Sure. See you guys later.'' Said Luffy walking by.

Ace and Sabo only smile to see their little brother be now a grown-up wizard. He was still an idiot, but he was their idiot.

''He sure is growing up a lot.'' Said Ace with a smile

''Yeah, once he was a stupid boy learning spells and now he is a wizard at Hogwarts.'' Said Sabo

''Yes, he is. Kind remind me on the day we left him in the forest and he yet returned.'' Said Ace

''I need to go now. I have a meeting with other Ravenclaw students.'' Said Sabo

''Me to. I am going to stay here just a little bit and then have quidditch practice.'' Said Ace

''bye bro. See you around.'' Said Sabo

A few minutes later

Ace was still thinking on what luffy asked. What was the deal with this weird Stone? And what did luffy need it. He never ask for stuff like this.

''What people ask these days?" Thought Ace confused

''Yo portagas what's is the deal?'' Asked Jewerly Bonnie walking by.

''Hey Bonnie, something new?" Asked Ace

''Nothing much. Just relaxing.'' Said Bonney.

''Hey glutton I have a question for you. Answer me that I give you a whole pizza.'' Said Ace

''Uh what is it?" Asked Bonney annoyed

''Ever heard about something called the Philosoehr Stone?' Asked Ace

That question made Bonney look in shock. How did he knew about the stone? She need it to give some kind answer before he suspected something.

''Is old legend about a stone that can turn any metal into gold or something. I don't remember that much.'' Said her non chalan.

''Really?" Asked Ace surprised

''Yes. Besides it was made by an immortal Alcestis in Merlin knows how. This all I know.'' Said Boney all vague and hopping that ace doesn't ask much.

''Wow an immortal alchemist.'' Said Ace amazed at that.

''Yes, now you own me a pizza.'' Said Bonney.

Ace was now curious on why would Luffy, his little brother be interested in something like this.

''Why would Luffy be chasing something as this? What is he up too?" asked Ace and he imagined there was a bigger story to be tell.
