Hey guys. Before I begin, I just like to say that I update every Saturday. Gives me time to edit and write in advance for future weeks.

So yeah! Enjoy!

Everyone was on high alert as they patrolled their respected areas. Happy, Charla, and Lily flew over the gardens and roof tops, dipping and gliding under the hood of night.

Erza keeping her extra sharp eyes on point, Mira looking in every door. Wendy glanced over a balcony onto the lower areas as Levy walked silently without fear. Mavis glided from painting to painting, being extra careful not to wake anyone up, as Makarov soldiered on through the dingy dungeons and basements.

If you asked them, nothing unusual happened. But for the students, well…. That's a different story.

Lucy and Natsu

Lucy and Natsu held the map, standing outside of the Great Hall. Lucy put her weak flamed lantern at the map, squinting her eyes. "Ugh, it's still really hard to make out…." She groaned. "With a weak flame like that, it's no surprise." Natsu told her, a fist on his hip.

"Alright, let's try this. Lumos!" Lucy flicked her wrist, and a pulsing white light came from her wand. Lucy looked a bit baffled, and observed the light. "Strange….It's not supposed to do that….Nox." Lucy shoved her wand back in her pocket before addressing Natsu.

"Natsu, try Lumos." She asked him. "Why?" Natsu asked. "We both know that my flames are way more powerful than that." Natsu whined, gesturing to Lucy's wand. "Besides, that wand is way too bright. If you want to be discrate-"

"Discrete."

"Discrete, then we should use my fire. It's much faster than chanting, and I can control the light." Natsu reasoned. Lucy stood there thinking for a bit, and sighed. "Fine…" She muttered. "But can you at least use your wand?" She asked, a hand on her hip. "I like using magic without my wand. Feels more powerful."

"Well, we're not aiming for power, we're aiming for a dim light!" Lucy snapped. "Fine…." Natsu groaned. With a flick of his wand, an orange candle light illuminated from the tip. "There we go." Lucy smiled and guided Natsu's wrist to the map so she could read it.

"Let's start here, and work our way up. Let's leave the third corridor till last. I have a feeling there's something there that needs to be checked last…" Lucy muttered, looking up at the entrance to the stairwell.

Gajeel and Gray

"This is the last corridor right?" Gray asked, holding his lumos spell to the fifth floor corridor. "Yep." Gajeel grunted, pushing the door open, letting Gray in first. "I still don't get why we started from the seventh floor and worked our way down." He mumbled, following Gray in. "So it would be easier to report when we're done." Gray reasoned very simply.

The two walked in silence for a bit, looking around. "So you and Juvia huh?" Gajeel smirked, trying to provoke Gray to release him from his boredom. "You know that's not true Gajeel." Gray scolded, gritting his teeth. "Geehee" Gajeel snickered, feeling successful.

"Hey, take a look here." Gray peeped through the crack of a door, revealing a big beautiful bathroom. There was a hallway of toilet cubicles and a beautiful basin display in a round room.

"Woah, fancy." Gajeel chuckled. "Where are we?" He asked. "Well, according to the map, this is the Prefect's Bathroom." Gray clarified, holding Lumos to the map.

"Looks a bit worn down. Like no one comes here, but not long enough to be worthy of dust and cobwebs." Gajeel joked. "Well in any case, let's take a look around." Gray sighed, walking into the bathroom. "Whatever." Gajeel tsked, taking out his wand and illuminating it with Lumos.

"..."

"..."

". . . Haaaaassstiiiii….." Gray swung around, looking all over the place. "What the…? Hey Gajeel, did you hear that?" Gray asked, a bit panicky. "What are you talking abo-"

"Aaaaaasssssssiiiiiiiiii….." Gajeel sharply looked up, and violently looked around. "Alright, heard it that time….."

"Sssssssiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllaaaaaaa… Aaaaaaaaaasssssssnnnnnaaaaaa…. Kiiiiiiisssssssssssaaaaaa… "

Gray and Gajeel were dancing back to back, their wands swinging around, their lights trying to find the source of the noise. "SiiiiaaaaaaaAAAAAHH!"

"What are you two doing here?"

Gray and Gajeel jumped back and fired iron and ice at the source of the sound, destroying everything in a dust cloud. "Will you two stop it! You're destroying the bathroom!" The same wispy voice scolded them from behind. Gajeel and Gray swiftly turned around and pointed their wands at the figure. "You're quite destructive aren't you." The figure said.

Gajeel and Gray blinked a bit, before tuning into the real world. It wasn't long until they heard water spraying everywhere. They slowly turned behind, staring at the damage they had done. Tiles and wood was everywhere, the water pipes broken creating a big watery mess. "Oh boy…. How are we going to fix this?!" Gray panicked, gesturing to the mess he and Gajeel caused.

"What's that? You heard something in the bathroom Mrs Norris? Well, let us see….."

"Great! That creepy janitor is on our tail now!" Gajeel hissed at Gray. "Uh….is there any spell that can reverse what happened?" Gray asked him, panicking. "Why you asking me that?!" Gajeel hissed at Gray, "I don't know!"

"I think I heard someone Mrs Norris….. Are there any naughty students here past their bedtime?"

"Try the spell Reparo." Gajeel and Gray snapped their attention back to the pale figure. "Like this." The figure pointed their finger and moved it in a square swirl. "Try it."

"What?!" Gray whispered harshly. "Just do it ice boy!" Gajeel gritted at him. "Uh, Reparo!" Instantly, everything began to reverse itself, until everything fitted back into place, as if nothing ever happened.

"Who is in here?"

"Hide!" Gray whispered as he ran for cover.

Filch peered his wrinkly face into the bathroom. Everything looked normal. He took a big sniff and stepped inside. He opened up all the doors and under each basin before he left. "Hmm, maybe it was that girl again….." He muttered sourly before disappearing behind the hall.

"Is he gone?" Gray asked in a muffled whisper. "Yeah. Should be safe now." Gajeel replied softly. Gray cracked his blue ice wall that camouflaged as a blue glassed window, revealing that Gray was hiding on the window sill, and Gajeel uncurled himself from the top left corner near the door, his iron boots helping him stand on the ceiling.

As the two dropped down, they sighed a sigh of relief. "Man that was close…." Gray gasped. "You know it's past your bedtime." The figure popped between them, looking at them with wide eyes.

"Gah!" They both leaped back and fell over. "You should really get back to bed. Go on. Off you go." The figure gestured. "Hang on hang on hang on! Who are you first?!" Gray yelled, pointing at the figure.

"Meow." Gray and Gajeel sharply looked at the door, and saw a cat staring at them quite sternly. "Isn't that…." Gray pointed slowly at the cat. "That's Filch's cat! We gotta go!" Gajeel hissed, running towards the door. "But what about-" When Gray turned around back to the pale human, they were gone. "Come on, let's go!" Gajeel gestured to him, before both of them ran for their lives.

Lucy and Natsu

"So this is the restricted area huh?" Natsu sighed, standing in front of the forbidden door. "I wonder why." He continued. "Well, let's find out." Lucy said with determination, pushing the door open.

As the door creaked open, both of them peeked into the hall, looking left and right. "Wow, smells terrible in here." Natsu cringed, rubbing his nose. "Guess it's been awhile since this place has had some major TLC." Lucy pointed out, stepping into the hall. "Can you get a light strong light in here Natsu? You don't have to use the wand this time."

Natsu beamed up and stepped in with Lucy. "With pleasure!" He cheered triumphantly, igniting his fist. "Man that feels good!" He beamed. "Keep it down Natsu." Lucy whispered. "Oh, sorry." He realised, minimising his voice. "Come on. Let's go."

The two walked side by side in silence, Natsu kept on looking right and Lucy looking left as they both walked forward. "Hey, what's that?" Lucy pointed, stopping in the hall. Natsu continued forward and placed his ignited fists at the object. "It's a door." Natsu called back. "Yeah, I can see that, but what's behind the door?" Lucy reasoned, walking up to the door.

Natsu sniffed the door, trying to pick up any scent. "Nothing. Guess it's been awhile since this door's been open." Natsu muttered. Lucy tugged and pushed at the door with a grunt, but nothing happened. "Locked." She sighed, stepping back. "Want me to break it down?" Natsu asked her politely. "No." She said sternly. "I have a better idea." Lucy smiled, pulling out her wand.

"Alohomora!" A string of silver slickly flew into the door handle, followed by a soft click. "Done." Lucy smiled, shoving her wand back into her outfit. "Let's see what's behind here." Lucy opened the door, only to look down in horror and quickly close it again, back against the door.

"What was behind there?" Natsu asked, confused. "Put out your light and take a look yourself." Lucy panted, moving away from the door. "Alright…." Natsu put out his fist and opened the door. What he saw, was a giant three headed dog, sleeping soundly. Natsu closed the door again, the same expression as Lucy.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Natsu asked hastily, pointing to the door. "I don't know!" Lucy argued back. "You were right. This should be the last corridor checked…" Natsu sighed. "Come on, let's go inform the others." Lucy gestured to him, running down the hall.

Findings

"You saw a what?!" Charla yelled, completely shocked of what she heard. "A giant three headed dog?!" Wendy gasped. "Why would a school need such a creature?" Erza pondered, somehow unphased by the information. "That sounds like a Cerberus." Mavis hummed in her painting. "A wha…?" Natsu looked at her confused. "A Cerberus. Guardian of the Gates of Hell." Lucy explained to him.

"Well maybe he's guarding something." Mira reasoned. "But what? That's the question." Erza said, in that same manner. "Should we ask Dumbledore?" Happy asked, looking at Makarov. "Hmmm…..Perhaps." He grunted.

"Guys guys! You won't believe what happened!" Gray yelled, bursting through the painting, Gajeel following behind. "Gray! What did you find?" Erza asked, a bit astounded. "That bathroom on the fifth floor is creepy as hell! There was whispers and figures, and chilling things!" Gray panicked. "Calm down will you?" Gajeel sighed, taking a seat.

"What kind of things?" Mavis asked, curious. "Like slithery words and… well…. Just that mainly…." Gray sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "Right, so the two main rooms to keep an eye on will be the bathroom on the fifth floor and the whole third corridor. We will take turns patrolling the area. Is there any complaint?" Everyone shook their heads.

"Excellent." Mavis looked at the wall clock and hummed. "We'd best get moving back to our dorms. Everyone will wake up soon. If there are any emergencies, make sure you note everyone. We will meet here next week same time. Let's go."
