After Harry and Natsu had been free to leave McGonagall's office they headed down to dinner. Even by Hogwarts standards the news of the shouting match had spread extremely quickly. even Harry sat down with the others he could hear people whispering and he knew by the end of dinner those who didn't know would be able to recite every version the heard off by heart.

The mages were all fairly quiet except for a few harsh sounding words in Japanese, though from the way Natsu was joining in it didn't take a genius to figure out they weren't directed at him but at a triumphant looking pink toad currently sat at the teachers table.

The odd whisper discussing Natsu and Gray's magic, Gray's stair moulding having been witnessed by a few students, told the mages that Harry and Voldemort were not the only topics of conversation.

After a while they all got fed up of the constant whispers and moved off to the common room. Hermione decided to go to the library but not before Harry slid her a piece of paper and Lucy gave her the gale-force glasses.

"Mimbulus Mibletonia." Harry muttered when they reached the portrait of the fat lady which swung open obediently.

The mages went to move inside but Ron was quick to react, preventing the blue and yellow from entering the room by standing in front of the porthole "Hey, this is the Gryffindor common room."

Wendy and Levy looked puzzled but Gajeel stepped up "Dumbledore said it was fine." He stated.

Ron opened his mouth to protest but Harry quickly cut him off.

"Give it up Ron, the more friendly faces the better." He pushed past Ron and headed towards the porthole.

The others followed suit and soon Ron was forced to give in.

They flopped down by the fire and stared into the flames for a while before Lucy spoke "What did McGonagall say?"

The silence rang on for a second before Harry replied "Umbride is reporting back to the minister so we have to be careful. She also said we have detention every night this week starting tomorrow."

Gray sighed "Should have expected getting detention on the first day."

Lucy nodded "Does have a Fairy Tail ring to it."

"You haven't told us all that much about Fairy Tail." Harry pointed out casually "Just about exams and the marks if I remember."

"There isn't much to tell." Wendy muttered a small smile on her face.

Silence fell amongst them and soon students started filing into the common room. Hermione joined them 20 minutes later and they started on the homework they had been set.

Once the homework had been finished Erza stood up and announced that the mages were to go to bed.

"What?!" Natsu demanded "It's only 8:30!"

Erza shot him a glare which silenced him "We have a long day of school tomorrow and now we also have a detention. We have lessons tomorrow which may require magic and we need plenty of rest to cope with it all." She kept her glare on him and soon Natsu backed down. With none of the other mages willing to stand up to her they excused themselves to their rooms and Levy and Wendy headed to their common rooms.

Hermione, Harry and Ron instantly moved closer together.

"That prophecy was rather strange, are you sure it wasn't just Trelawney being Trelawney?" Hermione asked.

"It was different to all the others 'Mione, there was something in her eyes, it was… creepy." Ron shivered.

"What about you, anything in the library?" Harry asked.

Hermione hummed and pulled out a book "This book speaks of ancient magic, it doesn't have as much detail as I'd like but it has some. It says ancient magic was something that people prided themselves in, it was considered rare even then. It gets sketchy after that, basing everything off old stories, rumours other things like that. It says that the magic came from a large crystal that popped up out of nowhere, no one is sure how but it had magical qualities completely unheard of here before, and suddenly people with odd magic started popping up, starting closest to the crystal and moving outwards, like a decease, but just as easily as it came it vanished and died out. Wizards and wizards like us became more common and that sums it up." Hermione flicked through the pages "But that's all old stories and other than a few old folk tales there's nothing to support it."

Harry lent in to look at the book over her shoulder "Wait, what's that?" Harry asked, putting his hand on a page to prevent Hermione from flicking past it.

The picture on the page was an old drawing of a small town hall like building with a young man standing in front of it, his arms spread wide. It was well drawn, that you could tell, but it was severely faded and some parts couldn't be made out.

"It's something about guilds." Hermione stated, her eyes darting along the page "It says that it was common for those with strange magic to get together and help each other improve. It also says that since magic wasn't hidden from muggles the people who were in the guilds would help muggles out with certain types of problems, the most popular being pest control."

Harry sighed leaning back "So that was a waste of time."

Hermione shook her head "Absolutely not! We know where that magic came from and it's a big help. Now what I'm about to suggest may seem odd and uncalled for but hear me out." Hermione shifted, dropping her voice "I think we are all in agreement that there is something up with them, something is being hidden from us. I think we should look for clues directly. I suggest that whilst they are in the detention we look through their stuff."

Ron and Harry looked appalled but Hermione jumped to her own defence.

"We know this prophecy is about you-know-who and one thing that was clear is that fairies have something to do with it, if we want detail we need to invade their privacy, no matter how much it pains me to say this but if they won't tell us directly we have to find out for ourselves." She looked directly at Harry "From the way you didn't jump to tell me something I'm assuming they didn't tell you."

Harry shook his head no before signing in defeat "'Mione is right. We have to find out what's going on."

Erza sat down on her bed, the others had thankfully got the message and took seats on their own bed looking at her expectantly.

"Dumbledore-san was right about his temper." Juvia observed. "We need to keep our eyes on him to make sure he doesn't do something he'll end up regretting."

Lucy sighed "Detention on the first day, that type of trouble must be a record, even for Fairy Tail."
