Gray opened the door slowly to the fifth floor bathroom. He looked around a bit checking no one was here, or at least, nothing out of the ordinary. "Hello….?" He called out. Only the echoes of cold air replied. "Nothing again…. Who was here the first night then? And what was that slither sound….?" He questioned to himself as he looked around.

A soft slither wrapped around the base of the sinks in the middle of the room, unknown to Gray. Suddenly Gray stopped, hearing a soft hiss behind him. He slowly reached for his wand, and swiftly turned around. But as he turned around, the thing struck his eye. Then, everything went black.

An hour later

"Right, so I spent the whole summer building up a new Quidditch program. We're going to train earlier, longer, and harder." Oliver explained, leading his team down to the Quidditch Field. "Aw, what?! I don't want to get up early!" Natsu whined. "You're not even in the team Natsu. Why are you with us anyway?" Harry asked, looking to his left. "I have nothing else better to do." Natsu replied casually. "Fine, you can watch us then." Oliver sighed. "Yay!" Natsu clapped.

"Oh, I don't believe it." Oliver gritted. "What is it?" Natsu asked, looking to where Oliver was looking. Everyone followed Oliver as he marched into the courtyard, confronting their rival house. Slytherin.

"Where do you think you're going Flint?"

"Quidditch practise. That a problem?"

"I booked the field for Gryffindor today."

"Easy Wood. I got a note." Flint dug through his pockets and pulled out a scroll, handing it to the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. Oliver, uneasy about Flint's intentions, grabbed the note and unscrolled it.

"Oh no. I smell trouble." Ron whispered to Hermione, who both happened to be studying in the courtyard. Hermione sighed and closed her books, walking up to the two teams, Ron tagging along behind her.

"'I, Professor Severus Snape, hereby give permission for Slytherin to practice Quidditch today in order to practice with their new Seeker.' So you have a new Seeker do you? Who is it?" Oliver asked, demanding who it was. Flint shrugged with a smug and stood aside. The new Seeker stood forward, Harry, Ron, and Hermione couldn't believe it. "Malfoy?" Harry stuttered, confused.

"Huh? What's going on over there?" Lucy noticed, Gajeel walking beside her. "Looks like Flint is trying to show Oliver who's boss." Gajeel scoffed jokingly. "Oh, Natsu's there too." She pointed.

Gajeel hummed and looked to his right, noticing Gray shuffling along the hallway, tired and distracted. "Yo. Finished your round already? How was the Prefect Bathroom?" Gajeel greeted. "Huh? O-Oh yeah… Nothing wrong..." Gray stuttered. "Gray, is something wrong?" Lucy asked, sensing something not right with him. "Huh? Y-Yeah, everything's fine." He said, his body shaking a bit.

"At least Gryffindor has raw talent." The three other students looked at the commotion close to them, hearing Hermione trying to put Slytherin to shame. Draco walked up to her, a mean look on his face. "No one asked your opinion you filthy mudblood." Everyone gasped at Draco's term, Hermione breathing angrily.

"Oh you've done it now Malfoy! Eat slugs!" Ron whipped out his wand and flicked it towards Malfoy. Unfortunately, he forgot that his wand was broken. A green light emitted from the middle of his wand where it broke. A force flew from his wand, causing him to fly back.

The Gryffindor House gasped and immediately ran to Ron's side, while Slytherin laughed. "Oh poor Ron!" Lucy gasped, running towards him. Ron laid on the floor, blinking at what had happened. "Ron! Are you alright?!" Hermione asked, shaking Ron's chest. Suddenly, he gagged and sat up, coughing up a slimy slug, the mucus dripping from his mouth.

"Ew!" All the kids gagged, except for Draco who was laughing his butt off. "You're a pathetic wizard Weasly! You're as good as a filthy mudblood!" As soon as those words left Draco's mouth, Gray's eyes transformed from cool and calm, to dilated and bloodshot. "You alright Gray?" Gajeel asked.

"Come on, let's get you to Hagrid!" Harry said, he and Hermione picking him up and helped him up to Hagrid's hut.

Soon, Slytherin made their way to the Quidditch Field, Natsu, Lucy, and Gajeel sneaking along to see Slytherin's tactics. They leant on the doorway to the field, watching them. "So what cheats is Slytherin going to pull this time?" Lucy asked, turning to Natsu.

"Hey, what's Ice boy doing down there?" Gajeel asked pointing to Gray on the field. His eyes were covered with his hair covering his eyes. Before anyone could do anything, a fast blur ran up to Draco, his fist digging into Draco's cheek. Draco flew back, blood pouring from his mouth. Gray was panting and growling, his body slouching. His clenched fist dripped with Draco's blood.

Everyone went silent. Lucy's eyes were shocked, not believing her eyes. Gray's teeth were like canine teeth, his mouth drooling. "You little snot face snob! You think you're so high and mighty don't you?! Well let me tell you! You're nothing but a spoiled little brat that does nothing but run to your daddy when something doesn't go your way!" Gray yelled, jumping on top of Draco and lifting his lift to punch him in the face once more.

The other three sprinted onto the field and pushed Gray off Draco. "Gray! What the hell's you're deal?! Get off him!" Natsu exclaimed, pulling Gray away from Draco. "Get off me Natsu!" Gray demanded, squirming. "Gray! What's going on with you?!" Lucy exclaimed, touching Gray's shoulder. He tightly turned his head to Lucy, carnivorous eyes staring at her. Lucy flinched back and retracted her hand. "G-Gray….?" She stuttered. Suddenly, Gajeel's fist punched Gray in the face, causing Gray to get knocked out.

As they pulled Gray away, Draco yelled and swore at them, saying that this would not stand by with their father. "HE WILL NOT STAND BY THIS YOU FILTHY MUDBLOODS! YOU WILL BE SQUIBS WHEN YOU'RE EXPELLED!"

In The Training Room

Gray slouched, tied up with the Immobulus Spell, still unconscious. The teachers and students were scattered around the room, keeping a close eye on him, humming. A clutch sound echoed the room, everyone turned at the door. There at the door, was Dumbledore, and the four heads of each house.

"Professor Dumbledore. Thank you for coming on such an emergency." Erza thanked, standing up from her leaning position. Everyone broke their statue positions and created a circle away from Gray. "Indeed. I came as soon as First Master contacted us." He said in a warm voice. "Though, I never imagined a student outbursting like that." Professor McGonagall sighed, looking at Gray.

"How did it happen?" Professor Sprout asked. "W-We don't know…. He's never been like this before…." Lucy stuttered. "It's like he's possessed." She added. "Well, what should we do? Shall we just remove all of Hufflepuff's points?" Professor Flitwick asked.

"He attacked a Slytherin student! Draco Malfoy nevertheless! His father will be asking for a minimum of an expulsion!" Snape reasoned, his voice angry. "Then that is what we'll do." Dumbledore said firmly. "What?!" Natsu yelled. "But sir, Gray is a part of our team! He has nowhere to go, and if he has violent outbursts like this, then it's not safe for him to wander!" Wendy reasoned, her body leaning forward.

"That is why he will stay here until we find out why he is like this. Until then, we'll say he is suspended." Dumbledore decided. "So where was he last?" Mira asked, looking at Levy. "He was doing his daily rounds. It was the Fifth Corridor I think." Levy hummed. "Yes, I assigned to him the Prefect Bathroom." Mavis confirmed, flying in through the painting. "Then that's where we're going first." Lucy said, determined.

"You three will go down. The rest of us need to go down to teach." Erza demanded. "But who'll keep an eye on him?" Mira asked. "I got this." Lucy smiled, taking out her keys. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Leo!" She chanted. A golden light came from her key, summoning a tall, well dressed, orange haired man. "Lady Lucy. What can I do for you my fair lady?" Leo asked, bowing. "Can you keep an eye on Gray? He-" Loke stopped Lucy there, aware of what happened. "I will keep an eye on him for you." Loke promised. "Thank you Loke." Lucy smiled before everyone left to their posts.

The three students pushed the door to the Prefects Bathroom and looked around. "Gajeel, you were in here last time right? What happened last time?" Lucy whispered, looking around. "Well, there was a figure… and slither like words…" Gajeel recalled.

"Oh hello again!"

A pale figure flew above and around them until landing in front of them. "Ah! Ghost!" Natsu screamed. The figure was of a girl with glasses and two pigtails. She wore a Hogwarts Uniform, smiling.

"I haven't seen you in over a year!" She exclaimed, leaning into Gajeel's face. "Thank you for not destroying the bathroom this time. Heeheeheehee!" She giggled and flew towards Lucy and Natsu, observing their faces. "As for you, I haven't seen you before." She said, tilting her head.

"Y-Yo…" Natsu greeted, a bit freaked out by her. "H-Hello…." Lucy greeted as well. "Anyway, what are you all doing here? You're not allowed in here." She continued, flying away from them.

"This is where our friend was before he went insane. We were wondering what happened…. Did you see anything?" Natsu asked. "Hm… maybe…. Maybe not." She teased, flying backwards as if she was swimming. "But if I were you, I'd stay away from here. If your friend did go insane like you said…." She flew down into their faces quite suddenly and stared them in the eye. "Then there might be something lurking…." She giggled and flew away again.

"Is there anyone here that just tells us what's going on straight up?" Natsu muttered. "Wait, so was he attacked?" Lucy asked. The girl just hummed in response. "By what?" She asked. "I don't know actually. It came so fast. Then it disappeared." The ghost said. Lucy pondered. "So what happened to Gray?" Natsu asked. "Maybe we should ask Gray." Gajeel suggested. "Well, it's the only thing we got so far…." Lucy muttered. "But what if he goes insano on us?" Natsu asked. "Hey, we're tough. We can take him." Gajeel winked and smiled."

The room was covered with ice and scorch marks. Leo was beaten up in the corner, holding his arm. His clothing was torn and he had bruises and cuts all over him. "Loke! What happened?!" Lucy gasped, running to his side. "L-Lucy….Ssss! Ah…. He woke up…. He was stronger than I ever saw him…" Loke grunted and smiled at Lucy. "I'll be going back… I don't know where Gray went… Sorry…." And with that, he vanished. "Where would Gray go?" Natsu wondered.

During Dinner

Susan looked next to her, the empty seat mocking her. "Have you guys seen Gray?" She asked, looking at Zach, Justin, Ernie, and Cedric. They all looked at each other, and shook their heads. "Where is he anyway? I haven't seen him all day…" Justin muttered. "I heard he punched Draco." Ernie said, biting into his chicken.

"Attention students. Attention!" Everyone quieted down, and put their food down. "As much as I regret say, it is the school's foundation that I must tell you all. Gray Fullbuster has been suspended due to excessive violence."

Everyone gasped and began to whisper. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other. They turned around and looked at the Hufflepuff House. Gray's roommates were distraught. They didn't know what to think about this. They could not believe what they heard. Draco looked down, pleased with the school's actions. The hall began to whisper of bad remarks about Hufflepuff.

"Another Hufflepuff?'

"It's like Newt Scamander all l over again..."

"Hufflepuffs can't be trusted..."

"Their house is full of expelled students..."

"Seems Hufflepuffs aren't as they seem..."

"I'm not trusting a Huffle ever again..."

Meanwhile

"Gray!" Natsu called out, running around the school. "Where are you?!" Lucy called out. "Come out Ice Boy!" Gajeel yelled. Happy, Lily and Charla soared the courtyards, but there was nothing. "Where is Gray…?!" Lucy gritted.

Gray stepped back from the wall. His hand dripping with blood. His eyes were the eyes of a mad man. His lips formed a smile, before laughing insanely.

The Chamber of Secrets has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir….. Beware...
