"Ugh this is hopeless!" Lucy groaned as she tossed away another file. "Going through all these files are going to take forever!" Wendy cried, flopping on the table. "I know it's a lot, but it's the only lead we got so far. We have to keep going." Mavis sighed as she telepathically moved one file away and began another.

"I can't believe how many students and staff came to Hogwarts fifty years ago…." Mira muttered reading her file. "Levy do you have any more Gale-Force Reading glasses?" Lucy muttered tiredly, looking at Levy. She looked at Lucy, her glasses dying down from the light the pages in her file slowing down. "Sorry Lu. This is the only pair I brought with me." Lucy groaned and banged her head in the table. "Like the First Master said Lucy. If we want to find out who opened the Chamber fifty years ago, this is the only way to find out who." Erza explained strictly.

"Hmmmm….." Natsu squinted at the file he was holding. "Ghmmmmm…!" He began to grit his teeth, his fists clenching the file, causing it to crinkle a bit. "Guhhhhhh….!" His head began to sink with tension. "GAAAAH! THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG!" He screamed, flinging his files into the air. "Shut up you idiot!" Gajeel shouted from across the room. "BUT LOOK AT ALL THIS! IT COULD TAKE US YEARS FOR US TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER!" Natsu screamed as he banged his hand on the table and pointed at the hundreds of files laying on the table.

"No it ain't! You're overreacting you stupid hot head!" Gajeel snapped. "What was that?!"

"Natsu, we probably all know who opened the Chamber. Now it's just investigating what happened fifty years ago…" Wendy said, trying to stay positive. "Maybe you should take a break Natsu." Mira suggested. "Maybe go for a walk, stretch your legs." Levy agreed. Natsu groaned and leaned his head back. "Fine. Might as well go try find Gray…" He sighed and stood up. He picked up his cloak and went out the door. As he did he flicked his cloak on his body, the corner of his cloak slipping out last.

Everyone watched him leave, and sighed. "Poor Natsu. Gray missing must be getting to his head…." Mira pitied, placing a hand on her cheek. "Well, anyway, let's keep looking." Wendy prompted. Lucy groaned and picked up the next file. She opened the cover, and gasped. "Ehhhh!" She exclaimed. She stood up, mouth open at the file. "Gajeel! Look at this!" Lucy cried, running over to him with the file. "Huh?! Isn't that…!"

Natsu wandered through the halls, his footsteps echoing through the hall. His fist on fire to illuminate the night. He looked left and right, keeping an eye on his surroundings.

Splash splash

"Huh?" Natsu looked down, his feet rippling a puddle of water. He slowly looked at the direction and lifted his fist to see what was going on. He slowly followed the water leakage, leading him to the fifth corridor bathroom. The door opened with a creek, and Natsu peeked his head in. He shook his fist out and stepped on through.

The first thing he noticed, was that the basin in the bathroom was overflowing. He looked into the sinks, each of them blocked and the taps running. "What the….?" He muttered. Natsu's ears suddenly perked up, a soft crying coming from one of the stalls. He slowly walked to the stall and opened the door. Sitting there was the pale and transparent Myrtle, whining and moaning on the toilet seat.

"Myrtle? What's wrong?" He asked. Myrtle shot up her head and flew towards Natsu, her face in his. "Sure! Everything's peachy when people throw books at you!" She sneered. "B-But you're a ghost aren't you? So you won't feel it. Won't you….?" Natsu reasoned, not seeing the point. "Yeah! Ten points if you get it through her stomach! Fifty if you get it through her head!" She screamed, punching Natsu in the stomach and head.

"You're just like those other two! People like you will never understand!" She cried, before she floated down the hall, whining and moaning. "Wait, two people?" Natsu repeated, watching her float around the room. "The ginger and glasses." Myrtle muttered bitterly. "Ron and Harry? Why were they here?" He muttered. "Probably drawn to my muttered moaning." Myrtle battered her eyelids and floated away, disappearing through the wall.

Natsu sighed and headed towards the door. As he put his hand on the handle, the door flung open. He gasped sharply and leapt back, flicking his cape back hand on his wand. On the other side, was Gryffindor's Head, Professor McGonagall. "Oh, Professor." Natsu said in surprise, relaxing his stance. "Mister Dragneel. I thought I would find you here." She said in a calm order. "Is something wrong?" He asked her, folding his arms. "Professor Dumbledore would like to have an audience with you Mister Dragneel. This way."

Professor McGonagall opened the door and stepped to the side for Natsu to go through. Once he was in, she closed the door, giving the two the privacy to talk. Natsu put down his hood, his body shrinking to his pre-teen self. He looked around the empty office, and smiled at the new phoenix. "Hey Fawkes. How are you doing?" He smiled, giving the bird a stroke with the back of his hand. The bird gave a small, sweet, skreech, nuzzling his head to his hand.

Natsu sighed and took a look around the room, his back towards the desk. "Ah Mister Dragneel." Natsu sharply turned around, watching the Headmaster take his time down the stairs. His velvet cloak slipping behind him with each step. "Professor Dumbledore. You wanted to see me sir?" Natsu asked, fully turning around. "Yes I did. I was wondering… About your progress with Gray." Dumbledore asked, taking a seat at his desk.

Natsu stared at Dumbledore, then looked down, clenching his fist. "There's nothing…. It's as if he's just…. Vanished." Natsu confessed. Dumbledore slowly nodded. "Professor Dumbledore…" Dumbledore looked up, giving Natsu a fatherly like look. "What happened here fifty years ago?" He asked the old man. Dumbledore took a deep breath and leaned back on his chair. "Fifty years ago, a muggle-born student passed away. She was petrified stiff. Her skin grey and dry. Fortunately she was the only student that was killed." Dumbledore sat back up and sighed deeply. "It was a very tragic day…." He muttered.

Natsu stood by silently, listening to what happened that tragic day. "However, we do not know what ended her life…" Dumbledore looked to the side, watching outside. "Mister Dragneel, there is another matter I'd like to discuss with you." Natsu looked at Dumbledore. "I'm lifting your suspension. As from now, you are no longer suspended."

"Wait, what?" Natsu asked, looking at the wise man. "But what about Erza?" He asked. "I already talked about it with her. And she understands." Dumbledore explained, moving a few things around his desk. "But I still need to find-" Dumbledore held up his hand. "I am aware that we still need to find Gray. But there is another matter I must send you to."

Knock knock knock

Hagrid opened the door, and came face to face with smiling Natsu in his full Hogwarts uniform. "Natsu? Wha' brings you here? I though' you were suspended." Hagrid asked a bit confused. Natsu smiled and stepped into the hut. "Dumbledore lifted my suspension. I'm a student again." He explained, sitting down. "He asked me to come down as well. Not sure why yet."

Scratch scratch

"Hagrid it's me! Dumbledore told me to come down." Natsu gasped a bit, his eyes opening a bit. "Happy?" He muttered. Hagrid opened the door, and looked down. The blue cat wandered in and looked up at his best friend. "Natsu! I'm so glad your suspension was lifted!" He cried, flying up to him and gave him a cuddly hug. "I thought you were going to help the others with their research." Natsu said, a bit confused. "I thought you would need help…" Happy muttered, looking up at him. Natsu chuckled and gave him a pat on the head. "Now why would I do anything without my little buddy." He smiled.

Happy smiled and hopped off Natsu and flew onto the table. "So why are you down here Natsu?" Happy asked with a tilt of his head. Natsu shrugged and leaned back on his chair, the two back legs supporting his weight. "I don't know. He told me to just be here." He sighed, putting his hands behind his head. "Well if Dumbledore sent you down here, it must be for a good reason." Hagrid smiled, pouring his guest tea.

Hours passed, Natsu was leaning on the table, playing with a dangling crystal. "Oh, I wouldn't do that Natsu." Hagrid gruffed, moving the crystal away from him. "It summons nearby creatures. Not wise to activate it here." Natsu groaned and leaned back on his chair. "I'm going to get some air." Natsu sighed, standing up.

As Natsu opened the door, his eyes opened wide. There at the door was two of his closest house mates and friends. Harry and Ron. The two looked at Natsu with shock, stepping back. "Natsu…?" Harry whispered, his eyes widened. Natsu chuckled awkwardly, and rubbed his head.

"Hey guys."
