Here's the second chapter I promised!

Draco's POV

The rest of the week had passed smoothly, unless you stop to consider all the fights I had gotten into with Natsu and Gray. Classes were going fine, and it was nice to relax and stop pretending to be so mean to everybody. I still didn't talk to the golden trio, but I started hanging out with Luna again. The day after the Quidditch trial had taken place for Gryffindor's keeper, the majority of the slytherins had gone out to make fun and taunt them. Had my friends not shown up I'd probably be down there too, still trying to blend in.

"Is there anything we can do today?" Mirajane asked me as we were lounging around in the slytherin common room.

"What, is homework too boring?" Gajeel teased, but he was getting twitchy also.

"I want to spend time with the others," she said and I nodded in agreement. She thought for a minute or so before speaking up again. "Is there a place we can go to practice magic?"

"We could always go to an empty classroom," I hesitated, not wanting to get caught practicing magic that we couldn't explain to others.

"Then again the Order said that the teachers would know about us, so maybe we could ask one of them," Gajeel contradicted. Mirajane nodded in agreement and I sighed defeated.

"Can we ask Snape?" I pleaded. "I don't want to ask one of the other teachers." The iron dragonslayer shrugged and we headed to Snape's office.

"Hello Professor," Mirajane began as we walked in.

"What can I do for you?" he asked, looking up from whatever essays he was grading.

"We want to know if there's a place we can practice our magic," Gajeel stated bluntly, wasting no time. The potions master's eyebrows raised but he stood up.

"You can practice in one of the dungeons," he conceded, escorting us to where we could practice.

"Thank you Professor," Mirajane expressed her gratitude before turning to us. "I'm going to go find the others," she started walking down the corridors on the way to the common rooms. Half an hour later or so the rest of the mages poured through the dungeon door, chattering and laughing with each other.

"I'm fighting Gajeel!" Natsu declared before Erza punched his head.

"We can't idiot," Gray reminded him. "If you fight with someone you'll blow the castle up. Then what'll we do?" Natsu didn't seem thrilled about this revelation but he shrugged and started doing conditioning with Evelyn.

"This isn't going to work out," Lisanna deadpanned, after a couple of minutes of standing around doing nothing. "We need more space to actually practice."

"Maybe we can practice somewhere outside, away from everyone," Lucy pondered. "Loke can you go see if there's somewhere outside we can practice?" He slipped out of the dungeon following Lucy's wish.

"Well this was anti-climatic," Evelyn commented causing everybody to laugh. In about five minutes Loke entered the room again before reporting his finds to Lucy.

"There are places to practice, however they are still in close proximity to people who'll be able to see." Lucy sighed but thanked her spirit anyway.

"This sucks," Natsu summarized and his sister nodded in agreement.

"Let's just go outside and play a game then," Lisanna suggested and there were murmurs of approval.

"What do you want to play, Lisanna?" Mirajane asked.

"Tag," she decided. "And to make it interesting we can use our powers to tag other people."

"That could be fun," I considered nodding my head.

"Yeah, I'm all fired up!" Natsu exclaimed and ran out of the dungeons and behind the castle where nobody was hanging out. Surging out the doors, we followed.

"I'll be 'it' first," Gray volunteered which was, of course, shut down by the fire dragonslayer.

"Nuh-uh ice princess. I'll be it first," he retaliated.

"Natsu, let Gray be 'it' first otherwise I'll go," Erza threatened and the pinkette recoiled.

"Ready? Go," Gray cried. To no one's surprise he went after Natsu first. 'Ice-make lance!"

"Fire dragon roar," Natsu blocked his attack easily. When we all saw that Natsu and Gray had started fighting each other we stopped running and circled around the two mages.

"Ice-make hammer," Gray uttered before turning at the last second and aimed it at Gajeel.

Gajeel growled and then started actively chasing after me. "C'mon Gajeel!" I complained. "We're in the same house!" The iron dragonslayer just laughed and continued his pursuit.

"Iron dragon club!" As hard as I tried to stop him, the blow from his attack knocked me onto the ground and I sat for a while regaining my breath.

"Lucy," I called, a mischievous glint appearing in my eyes.

"Open gate of the scorpion, Scorpio!" Her zodiac spirit appeared by her side and ready for battle. "Get him Scorpio," she commanded.

"Run sand boy!" Natsu suggested, watching the chaos unfold before him.

A torrent of sand caught me in the back as I was trying to put distance between the Zodiac spirit and myself. Wait I can eat the sand, I thought to myself. Lucy swore under her breath and she dismissed Scorpion.

"Open gate of the white ram, Aries!"

"Well I'll certainly try my best. Wool bomb," I heard Aries narrate and I realized how screwed I was if I continued this. I desperately threw a tornado of sand that got engulfed by Aries' wool. It continued flying through the air and slammed into me. As much as I wanted to curl up in the soft, pink material and go to sleep, my pride wouldn't let me surrender that easily. OK maybe targeting Lucy was a bad idea. Considering my options I decided to go for Lisanna. She couldn't be that hard to beat right?

"Sand dragon sandstorm!" The grains of sand went and swirled around my target effectively knocking her down. I smirked already knowing that she'd go for Natsu. Sure enough she started chasing him around, both of them laughing like they didn't have a care in the world.

"Wait guys, someone's coming," Natsu warned.

"You just don't want to lose fire breath," Gray accused while the pinkette shook his head.

"No, seriously someone's coming," he repeated. Wendy nodded in agreement.

"It's the trio," Gajeel supported and we all stopped using our magic.

"What's going on back here?" Hermione demanded storming up to us, Harry and Ron following her.
