A/N: Hola! This fic is a mythology/Harry potter crossover type thing. Don't
freak out. It's not an OC. I know how you all hate those. Well, anyway,
tell me if I messed up on something, fact-wise or whatever. Please read and
Review!!!! Remember, reviews are like chocolate!
Havoc at Hogwarts
"I have something you want," said a woman from the shadows. The three hags whom she addressed looked toward her. Two of them raised a thread without looking away.
"And what might that be?" asked the third as she brought a pair of menacing and spindly scissors up to it. Quickly, she snapped them shut and the thread split. The ends curled as a high pitched scream echoed throughout the cave-like building. The woman from the shadows shuddered. Hardly anyone dared to mess with the Fates. Even a goddess.
"Youth and freedom."
"Oh?" they were interested, now.
"Yes. I have a proposition for you. I make you look beautiful and young for a year, and you let me handle fate for that time." Eris stepped out of the shadows waiting for an answer. Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos had gone into a huddle for discussion. A few minutes later, Atropos, the one who had spoken first, had both the legendary tooth and eye and walked toward Eris.
"We must still be able to watch what you are doing."
"Yes."
"We will have control to decide when you have had enough."
"Well.er.fine. Yes."
"You may not change anything long-term that has already begun."
"Sure."
"You may not change any previously set fate."
"Yeah, fine," Eris said exasperated.
"We accept. We offer the tooth and the eye. If they are lost, the deal is done." A contract appeared in Clotho's hand as she and Lachesis joined their sister. Their wobbly signatures were already on it. A quill materialized next to the paper and Eris slowly signed.
The three fates grew taller, their legs became slender and long. Sparse hair sprouted from old scalps and developed into long and thick manes. Gray, wrinkled skin smoothed and lightened, losing a centuries worth of age and dirt. They melted defiantly through the floor with devilish smiles on their faces.

"The three Fates control the lives of all mortals. Their names are Clotho, The weaver, Lachesis, the measurer, and Atropos, the cutter. These old hags exist in the world of gods and goddesses, manipulating us through our major decisions." Professor Binns droned on as the class sunk into a stupor. Even Hermione, usually so attentive, was losing control of her eyelids and lay her head on the desk and fell asleep.
"Aww, she's so cute when she sleeps," Ron wrote to Harry and the corner of his parchment.
"She was up half the night, studying about who-knows-what," Harry scribbled. He pulled out a book on reading the stars and started to do the homework from the night before. It was an essay for divination about stories behind constellations and how they affect the prophecies read. Ron looked over and saw what Harry was doing. A look of horror crossed his face and he tugged a piece of parchment from his bag. Both started to steadily do their homework and just as they were finishing, Professor Binns had cleared his throat.
"Perkins, Watson and Gorum! Why are you not paying attention? Homework from another class? Sleeping? I am outraged. Detention for all three of you," Professor Binns said. Even when he was trying to scold, he was monotonous. It was hard to tell whether he was mad or bored. Nonetheless, they had detention tonight.
"Peachy."

"But Tommy, how am I supposed to get inside Hogwarts?"
"Don't call me that!" Voldemort said, embarrassed.
"Hey! I can call you whatever I like!" Eris's voice was drenched with
poison. "I am key in this whole shenanigan, you know."
"You caused the Trojan war! Can't you think of a way to get into
Hogwarts?"
"That's it! I can pretend to be a student!" Eris exclaimed.
"Dumbledore doesn't accept exchange students," Voldemort reminded her
icily.
"That's okay, I have another idea," She replied with a grin.
A/N: dun dun DUN!!!!!!! So, a few questions for you to ponder. Who is
this Eris chick? Why does she want to get into Hogwarts? How is she even
going to do it? Don't worry. There is more Hogwarts and less stuff you
don't care about in the rest of the story. I just needed to explain
situations and stuff. Please give me at least five reviews before I post
the next chapter.
