The Meeting

"Welcome everyone to the first meeting. How was your first day?" Mavis asked, a smile on her face. "I say it went splendidly. Though I'm surprised the First Years did so poorly on their fitness…." Erza tisked.

"Erza. You made us run a hundred laps around the castle grounds without a warm up within five minutes without magic." Lucy said bluntly. "Well when I was their age, I was doing a hundred laps around Fiore, a thousand sit ups, two hundred push ups, and seven hundred bench presses. All in two minutes." Erza sighed, quite strict.

"You sound like an old lady." Natsu snickered. "What was that Natsu?" Erza said, a scary glare coming across her face. "N-Nothing ma'am!" Natsu flustered.

"Anyway, let's get started. Now, let's see. Is there any people we'd like to keep an eye on?" Mavis asked, officially starting the meeting. "Draco Malfoy." Erza immediately said. "Draco? Why him?" Mavis asked, curious to know the answer. "He just seems off…" Erza explained, folding her arms. "I agree. When we passed by him in the hall, he had that look in his eye. As if he were planning something. I don't know what it was, but I didn't like it." Charla said in a huff.

"Let's see… Draco Malfoy…." Mavis extended her hand, and a green file flew in front of her.

"Draco Malfoy.

Sex: Male.

Born June 5th, 1980.

Status: Active.

Line: Pure-Blood.

Father: Lucius Malfoy.

Mother: Narcissa Malfoy, maiden name, Black.

House: Slytherin.

Year: One.

Wand: 10 inch Hawthorn, Unicorn Hair.

Affiliation: Malfoy Family and House of Black.

That's all we have here…." Mavis sighed and closed the file. "Well that won't help us." Natsu sighed, placing his hands behind his head. "Actually, we have a bit. On his parents. If they're pure bloods, then they must have attended here." Lucy reasoned. Lucy extended her hand, and two green files flew down to greet her. "Hey, how did you do that?" Gray questioned, surprised. "I was in here earlier." Lucy explained, opening the files.

"Lucius Malfoy, Male, Active, Thirty Seven years of age, used to be in Slytherin House, now Hogwart's School Governor. Has strong ties to the Ministry of Magic." Lucy read out. "So that's why Draco threatens students and staff alike. If they defy him, he can simply make his father punish them." Lily realised.

"What about his mother?" Charla asked Lucy. "Let's see…. Thirty Six, Active, Slytherin." Lucy slammed the book shut and placed it on the table. "What, that's it?!" Charla exclaimed. "'Fraid so. Everything else is blank. See for yourself." Lucy slid the file across towards Charla. Wendy opened the file, to see that Lucy was right. "Weird…" Wendy muttered.

"But there has to be something about Draco. There's something wrong about this all…." Makarov said, his hand to his chin. "Alright then. All in favour of watching Draco." Charla, Makarov, Gray, Gajeel, and Erza raised their hands. "Alright. You five can watch Draco. Anyone else believe another is behind this.

"The Caretaker. But it's not as serious as Draco's suspicion." Erza blurted. Mavis nodded. "Right. Makarov, keep an eye on the Mister Filch." She ordered him. Makarov sighed and nodded in understandment.

"Right. Anything else?" Everyone shook their heads. "Alright. Back here at midnight tonight for our rounds. Adjourned."

Patrol

Naaaatsssssuuuuuu….

Mom! Dad! Where are you?!

Naaaatsssssuuuuu….

Natsu, stop!

Naaaatsuuuuuuu….

We have to go! It's too late!

Naaatssuuu….Naaaatsssuuuu…..NAAAAATSSSSUUUUUU!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Natsu jolted from his bed, panting heavily. He sighed and placed his palm against his forehead. "Man, what a dream…." He mumbled to himself.

Natsu turned to the clock he had on his bedside table, squinting his eyes. It was time.

He slowly turned to the side and stood up, his feet creaking the wooden floor. "Happy….Come on, it's time." Natsu whispered, shaking his little buddy up. "Mmmm, five more minutes…" Happy mumbled. "No, we have to go now. It's 11:50" Natsu reasoned. Happy sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes. "Alright…"

Natsu creeped out of the room with Happy, sluggishly tailing along behind him. As Natsu went down the stairs, he looked around, making sure no one was following them. "Alright, let's get going."

"Aye…"

Natsu closed the Common Room door behind him, trying not to wake any of the paintings up. He knew they were on their side, but still, it was polite. Yeah. Him polite of anything… "Hey Natsu."

Natsu swiftly turned around, and saw Lucy there, smiling. "Lucy? What are you doing here?" Natsu asked confused. "Well, I was passing by, and I thought we could walk together…" Lucy admitted.

"How did you find our Common Room?" Happy asked. "Weren't you paying attention? Mavis gave us maps to all the Common Rooms for emergencies, remember?" Lucy scolded. "Did she?" Natsu asked innocently, tilting his head.

"Hmm…Let's just go." Lucy scolded.

The two walked in silence to the hideout. Natsu kept looking at Lucy, wondering why she looked annoyed.

"Hey guys." A cool voice greeted them. "Gray! Gajeel!" Lucy smiled. "What are you two doing together?" Natsu asked, his arms folded. "Well we both live in the lower parts of the castle. So we bumped into each other." Gajeel sighed. "I wouldn't put it as a bad thing Gajeel." Pantherlily sighed. "Never said I did." Gajeel argued back.

"Come on, let's go." Gray sighed, gesturing them to follow him, not giving a damn about this.

Everyone walked together in silence, until they reached Mavis's painting. "Well, you made it in time. That's a surprise." Erza grinned, leaning against the wall. Clearly she was waiting for them. "Come on. Everyone's already inside." Erza jabbed her thumb towards the entrance.

"Right, is everyone here?" Mavis questioned, looking around the room. "Wonderful, now, I have a surprise for you." Mavis snapped her fingers, and everyone was dressed in their old clothes, just a few sizes down. "Man, feels good to get out of those clothes." Natsu stretched, his clothes adjusting to his old clothes.

"Wait, where are our school clothes?!" Lucy gasped in horror. "Don't worry, they're back in your clothing trunks." Mavis smiled.

"Here is our route." Mavis snapped her fingers and a map of Hogwarts appeared on the table.

"Erza. You'll take the restricted areas on the North side of the castle. Wendy, the West, Levy, East, and Mira South. Natsu and Lucy, you'll take the Grand Hall to Floor Four. Gray and Gajeel. Floor Five to Floor Seven. Makarov, the basements and dungeons, while I will patrol through the paintings. Charla, Lily and Happy will scout the courtyards and roof tops. Any questions?"

"Yeah, I have one. Why can't we just use the dome on the fifth floor?" Natsu asked, not wanting to deal with the stairs. "Because if we see suspicious activity, then we can act quickly without running all over campus." Mavis explained.

"Any other questions? No? Good. Then let's get going."
