Everything was quiet throughout the castle. Mira and Erza stood by strong by the door that lead to the Cerberos. Everyone wandered around their respected areas, but everyone could agree. That whoever was pulling the strings earlier, had given up for now.

Mavis hummed as she listened to the reports of quiet activity around the school after the patrol. Eyes closed and fingers covering her mouth. "I suspected so. Because the plan with the troll failed earlier, the culprit probably knew there would have been an increase of security, so they thought it would be wise not to try anything tonight." Mavis hummed. "Master Mavis, do you have an idea who is behind all this?" Erza asked. "Well… yes and no."

"What do you mean yes and no? There's obviously someone behind it, waiting to strike." Gray pointed out, feet on the table only in his boxers. "Gray. Clothes." Charla sighed, drinking her tea, which Gray ignored as this was quite an important discussion. "Well, while looking through this world's history, I found that one particular person kept appearing in these books."

Mavis held out her hand and telepathically laid them open on specific pages. "Everywhere I look, there is a certain sentence referring to someone. However, I have not located who these books are referring to yet." Mavis explained. "And what is this description?" Levy asked. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Mavis bluntly replied. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? What is he cursed or somethin'?" Natsu asked blatantly, pinky digging in his ear.

"That I don't know. But according to all these books, they record that this particular person did terrible, terrible things. Prime suspect multiple murders, killing mainly muggle-borns and muggles affiliated with the Wizarding World. Blackmailing, jinxing, and cursing people into doing his bidding… The list goes on. It's understandable why they would not want to mention this person's name. But the thing that throws my intuition off, is that this person has been reported dead." Mavis explained.

"Who were the victims?" Wendy asked. "That I still need research on. In the meantime, you may retire for the night. I hear there's a game on tomorrow. Go on and enjoy yourselves. I will stay as usual. Good night everyone." Mavis smiled.

Draco peeped his head around the corner, observing the moving stair cases. "Why are we out here past our curfew again?" Doyle asked, keeping a lookout from behind. "I told you Doyle! Our little friend seemed to have disappeared and I wonder where he's gone…" Draco snarked.

Crabbe snickered looking out with Draco. "When we catch him, I can't wait to see the look on his face!" "Shut up Crabbe! We're not here to bring him back, but to merely observe for father…." Draco snarled. "Right. Let's go." Draco commanded as the three headed up the stairs.

"What are you three doing out of bed?"

The three Slytherins turned sharply behind them, and came eye to eye with the new teacher. "P-Professor Marvel!" The three of them exclaimed in a panic. "It's way past your curfew. I'm willing to let you off with a warning. Please return to your dorms." Wendy commanded nicely.

"Our apologies Professor Marvel. I had quite the nightmare. I just needed to stretch my legs." Draco smiled slyly, coming down the stairway, his goons following him. "With your friends?" Wendy asked innocently. "I needed to talk to someone." Draco shot back, smiling again.

"You could have talked about it in your dorm."

Draco's face slowly became irritated at her, but he kept his smile. "You have an answer for everything don't you little miss know it all." He thought to himself. "I suppose. Good night Professor Marvel." He gritted subtly. "Oh Mister Malfoy? One last thing." Draco clenched his lips together, but put on his forced smile again as he turned around to face. "Yes Professor Marvel?" He gritted with a smile. "Um...If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm always here." Wendy smiled innocently.

Draco stared at her for a bit then turned sharply around without another word. "We're not really going back are we?" Doyle asked Draco in a dumb tone. "Of course not you idiot! But now I see how nice Professor Marvel is…. Maybe we can use her to our advantage…." Draco snickered, as they all turned and ran the opposite direction of their Common Room.

"You sure it was wise to let them go like that? It's a high chance that they'd disobey your instructions." Mira asked Wendy, appearing as soon as the boys left. "I agree. I'll go. You guys on ahead. I'll take care of this." Mira smiled at Erza who agreed without hesitation.

"Huh? Where's Erza going?" Natsu asked, coming down the stairs with everybody else. Mira turned to them and smiled. "MISTER MALFOY! MISTER DOYLE! MISTER CRABBE! WHY ARE YOU THREE OUT OF BED?! MY OFFICE NOW! YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE QUITE THE TALK WITH ME!" The sudden force of Erza's voice made everyone's hair fly from the direction of her voice.

"How DARE you talk to me this way! My father will hear about this!"

"Do I look like I care?! NOW MOVE IT!"

When the yelling stopped, everyone's hair was messy and standing in the same position when Erza was yelling. "A-Ah…." Lucy mumbled. "My goodness, what a boisterous lady!" One of the paintings complained, his head lifting from his desk and lifting his monocle.

"Natsu..."

"There has to be a way! There has to be!"

"Natsu!"

"I can't lose him too! I can't!"

"NATSU!"

Natsu jolted up in a sudden with a sharp gasp, his forehead hitting a flat hard surface. "Ooow!" Natsu held his head and rubbed his eyes. "Huh?" Natsu blinked a bit, and saw Ron bending over in pain, holding his forehead. Seamus and Neville were on the sides of his bed, a mixture of shock and laughter on their faces.

"Aww! Ow!" Ron groaned, leaning forward and back. "What the bloody hell is in your head?! An iron plate?! Jeez!" Ron shook his head and blinked. "What the…? Why'd you guys wake me up? Gah! It's not a school day is it?!" Natsu panicked as he zoomed out of bed and opened his closet in a hurry throwing his clothes out to find his uniform.

"No, Natsu! Calm down, it's not a school day!" Semus slightly touched Natsu's shoulder blade to stop him. "Huh? Then why we up so early?" Natsu asked, turning around. "It's the Quidditch match today. Remember? Harry's the seeker."

Natsu blinked blindly at Neville's words. "Quidditch...Seeker…." Natsu jolted up and clicked his fingers, pointing to his room mates. "Oh right that's right! You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up." Natsu told them as he pulled out his uniform. "You know the way?" Ron asked, concerned. "Oh hell no, but I'll find it." Natsu smiled, thumbs up.

"So lax!"

The boys yelled in thought.

"It's fine Natsu, we can wait." Semus gestured kindly. "You sure?" Natsu asked them, closing his clothing trunk. "Yeah. We never said we were late. We have at least half an hour." Neville told him. "What about breakfast?" Natsu asked, slipping into the closet so he could change.

"Why are you doing in the closet Natsu?" Ron asked, bewildered of Natsu's choice of privacy. "Huh?" A muffled voice came from the inside. "Why are you in the closet?" Ron repeated, his voice muffled to Natsu's ears as Natsu pulled his shirt off. "Oh, it's uh…" Natsu paused his actions, and looked down at his right shoulder. His guild mark visible thanks to the crack of light through the door. "I just don't like changing in front of people." Natsu lied, knowing that he couldn't reveal his Fairy Tail mark.

The three stood still for a bit, until Neville broke the silence. "…. Uh, anyway, breakfast finished already. You slept through it We tried to wake you up, but….."

In Neville's mind

Ron, Seamus, and Neville pulled on Natsu's leg, but Natsu's hands grasped on the bed frame, snoring. "You refused to move." Neville told Natsu in the real world. "Five more minutes…." Natsu whined whimsically, unconsciously grabbing the frame.

Back in reality

"WHAT?!" Natsu burst, out the door and fully dressed.

Happy, who was sleeping soundly, leaped forward screaming. "Natsu! Why did you scream?! I was having a nice dream about fishies!" He yelled at Natsu. "Oh sorry Happy! I'll give you some fish to make up for it." Natsu promised. "You'd better Natsu!"

Both of them blinked and made an "uh-oh" face. They slowly turned to the three standing in front of them. All of them had eyes wide open and mouths dropped. "D-d-d-did your cat just talk?" Ron stammered, pointing to the blue kitten.

Natsu began to sweat bullets. "Well uh…"

"I-I-I heard it too…"

"Me as well!"

"Uh well see…. Happy here… is….. Uh…" Natsu sweated and stammered.

"He did didn't he?! You cat can bloody talk! How can he talk?!" Ron bursted with questions, confusement and excitement. "Yeah Natsu! Is that even a cat at all?!" Seamus asked Natsu coming onto him. "How can your cat talk Natsu?! It can't be a coincidence that we can all talk to cats! And I know I can't cause my Gran used to have fifty cats!" All of them were pressing on Natsu, who was sweat dropping. He then sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Guess I got no choice. Cat's out of the bag now…." Natsu leaned down and picked Happy up. "Guys, this is my best friend Happy. I found him in the forest and raised him with my friend. What's special about Happy is that he can talk and fly, unlike other cats."

"Really?!" Seamus exclaimed, pushing his face towards Happy. "Can you show us?" Neville asked politely. "A-Aye…" Happy mumbled, and his back glowed green, as two beautiful angel like wings folded open. "Woah! That's bloody awesome!" Ron gleamed, starstruck by this kitten. "Thank you Ron." Happy smiled. "Oh, and can you guys keep this a secret? Happy would feel overwhelmed if everyone knew he could talk." Natsu asked.

"Yep. I'm a real shy thing. If I'm swamped, then my little body would shut down!" Happy smirked with a theatrical type of body action. "Doesn't seem shy to me." Seamus chuckled, amused by the kitten's attitude. Natsu chuckled awkwardly, before admitting he just didn't want to attention drawn to him and Happy. Nevertheless, the boys agreed to keep it a secret.

"Oh no! Look at the time!" Seamus pointed at the wall clock, and everyone screamed. "Five minutes till the match! We're going to be late!" Ron cried rushing towards the door. "Sorry Happy! We have to go! We'll be back." Natsu apologised as he put Happy down and ran out the door behind his roommates.

"I'll be here!" Happy called out waving as the door closed. Once the door closed, Happy sighed relief. "That went better than I thought it would…. They reacted way calmer than I imagined…." Happy patted his back thinking.

"I wonder how they'd react if they found out we aren't from this world…."
