Draco was shaking as she listened to Gajeel and Natsu. She knew they would be upset with her, she knew that she was focusing on the little consequences of her actions, she knew that it was wrong to keep something like this a secret but she didn't care, she felt very strongly about her research on these artifacts. Draco sighed and said, "I was prepared for whatever consequences I would recieve from messing with this type of magic when I started collecting these artifacts 8 years ago. Uncle Zeref already knows about this too, I told him when I gave him his gifts for Yuletide, he already warned me against this. I'm not only doing it to make the world better, I'm doing it to break Uncle Zeref's curse. I don't want him to have to suffer any longer..." Draco knew that Natsu would be angry with her not only because she flat out told him that she was prepared to recieve the big consequences but because he hadn't realized how long she had been doing this. It may seem foolish to everyone else but she didn't care, she had to do this.
