Okay so this story was on another account (PaigeySama) it's a pretty old story that was abandoned and now I'm here to clean it up and bring it up to speed.

If you've read Electonis Quattuor, this is the same story, just heavily edited, a lot of dialogue added and things changed. Most of the things stayed the same though. Enjoy!


Everyone has his or her demons, their inner evil, their inner betrayal, their inner boogeyman. It just depends on how they control themselves.

Being a magical being tended to tempt the weaker willed individual. There was always an evil lurking inside people. Depending on the person, it could consume them.

~Merida DunBroch~

I got it. I finally got it and it's in me hands right now. The paper looked so old. And I couldn't open it. I just stared and stared. Being eleven wasn't the most exciting thing in the world. But gettin' the letter from Hogwarts, somethin' I've always wanted in me life, it's finally here.

Me mum stared at me with a proud smile and me father never looked happier. I was gratified. I would make them proud.

"You're going to be a great witch, Merida." Me mother cooed and kissed the top of me head. I was glowing. Positively glowing with conceit.

"Thanks mum." I peeled back the envelope opening and read me letter inviting me into the most prestigious wizardy school. I would make them satisfied. I would. "I'm going to make a lot of friends." I said smugly.

"That's a good idea."

~Rapunzel Corona~

"I'm not so sure that this is a good idea, Rapunzel…" My whole world seemed to collapse at the simple sentence. Why wouldn't they just hear me out first?

"But mother—" I began, being nearly instantly cut off by my father.

"Your mother is right." My father intervened. My shoulders sagged even more and I looked at them with despair.

"But father—" I started but was cut off again.

"You've been taken from us once, who is to say you won't be taken again." My mother said softly. I straightened my posture, trying to be level with them. They would hear what I wanted to say. They needn't interrupt again.

"Mother. I will not be kidnapped again. You can't let this opportunity slip me by. Please, mother, father. I need to learn. I need to be with kids like me. If you keep me here, you're no better than she was..." I began begging and ended on a softer note. It was a low blow, I'm sure. They just needed to understand that I wasn't going to back down. This was my education!

"…" They exchanged glances and sighed. "We'll talk about it. But don't get excited yet, Rapunzel." She said and I tried to hide my grin and put my hands behind my back and nodded. I quickly slipped out of the room to hide my obvious delight.

I wasn't completely sure if they would say yes, however I doubt they would say no. Comparing them to Mother Gothel probably wasn't the nicest thing to do but they just didn't understand! I couldn't be stuck home all the time. What was the purpose of being free if... I didn't get a chance to be free?

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

"Yer free at last!" Stoick shouted, extremely loudly I might add. I rubbed my ears and sighed. "I can't believe it!"

"Yeah, great." I unenthusiastically punched the air.

"You don't understand!" He continued to rant and rave about how fantastic it was that I was going to go to Hogwarts. He was more excited than I was.

To be completely honest, I wasn't that excited. You see, I kind of have a crush on this girl… She isn't a witch. So how can I make a move on her if I'm not around?

Yeah you're probably right. Me? Make a move. Hah. Maybe this will actually be better in the end. At least no one will know me there, right? So no mockery?

I doubt it. Unfortunately, there always seems to be mockery when I'm involved.

"… Ya know, yer mother was a witch too." That broke me out of my trance.

"Mom… Was a witch?" I suddenly felt a lot closer to her. A smile on my face and I sat down.

"Yup. A great one too." He nodded fondly. His mood suddenly changed, he looked kinda… sad which is odd for Stoick the Vast.

"What's wrong, dad?" I asked after sitting in several long seconds of silence.

"I can't believe I never told ya." He shook his head at himself. " 'M sorry, Hiccup. You know nothin' bout yer mum."

"No dad, it's fine. It's good. I'm good. All good here." I gestured myself and gave a thumbs up and he smiled.

"Of course yew are. Now, let's see what we need to get, and how exactly to get it because you're going."

~Jack Overland~

"I'm not going." I spat with a scowl and sat on the couch with my arms crossed.

"You're going." North demanded. Cue my scowl deepening.

"I'm not." I looked away from him at whatever object was the complete opposite of him. It was his wall of swords. I began counting them like I normally do when I'm bored. I'm already bored with this conversation.

"You are." He insisted, breaking me out of my concentration.

"I'm not." I argued further, recounting the swords. Why did he have so many, anyway?

"You are!" I flinched at the last scream. He was always so loud...

"I'm not…" I muttered defiantly.

"Don't make me go over there. I will." North threatened and I sighed and sat up on the couch and glared at him.

"Why the hell do I have to go?" I snapped and he sighed, trying not to make the obvious watch your mouth comment he makes at me all the time. It never worked but he usually felt better after saying it.

"Because Jack, you were chosen." I put up my hands and made a noise of exasperation.

"I don't WANT to be chosen. I WANT to stay here and not do anything." I argued and he shook his hand stood up.

"Come with me, Jack." He said softly.

"Is this going to be one of your lame stories about stupid stuff? Because I am not interested." I turned away indignantly again. He walked over, grabbed me by my arm and dragged me away with him.

"Look, Jack. Do you see what that is?" He pointed up and I glowered.

"The moon. Yes. I've seen it once or twice before." I said with my words dripping with sarcasm. North paid no attention to it whatsoever and seemed delighted with my participation. Even participation that was more sarcastic than anything.

"Yes! Exactly what it is! The moon, Jack. There is a man on that moon that decides your fate, and he has chosen yours, Jack. And you're going to that school." North and his Russian accent made me want to punch myself. I was getting so irritated.

"I really would rather not." I admitted, not phased once. North just glared and turned around on his heels.

"You're going. End of story." And the bastard walked away leaving me there spluttering nonsense.

~Merida DunBroch~

Boarding the train was a lot more difficult than I thought. I found meself clingin onto me mum and dad. I didn't want to go anymore. I didn't want to leave. For that brief moment, I felt that I couldn't be happy without them.

I knew I could. Which is why I boarded the train.

Me luggage was quite heavy. I took my archery equipment with me. Hell, if anyone thought I'd depart with all of me bows n' arrows.

"I'm going to miss you, so much." Me mum kissed me on the cheek, I quickly rubbed it off and she laughed.

"Make lot's of friends and make sure to write a lot." I nodded at her and hugged them one last time and got on the train. I found the only empty compartment and put up my luggage. I wondered how long it would take for me to get someone else with me. Maybe we'd be friends. I need those. I just can't believe it. It seems like it was forever ago that I dreamed of this. And now, I just can't believe this is happening…

~Rapunzel Corona~

"I can't believe this is happening!" I was jumping for joy when my parents brought me to platform 9 ¾. I couldn't wipe off my smile. I felt bad for being so happy to leave, but I was so excited to learn and find out more about myself. Things I didn't know without magic. I wonder what I'd be good at, and what I'd be bad at.

Don't think like that! I was going to work way too hard to be bad at anything!

With a look of determination, I almost boarded the bus without saying goodbye to my parents. I quickly spun back around. They looked at me with a look of disapproval and I scrunched up my nose.

"Sorry…" I laughed and quickly threw myself into their arms and enjoyed feeling their embrace for the last time for a while.

"I love you Rapunzel." Without realizing it, I retorted back to my old phrases.

"I love you too!" I said happily. It was such a bittersweet moment I wish I could divulge in it further, I couldn't. I had a train to catch.

"Goodbye guys. I'll write a bunch and I love you so much!" I grabbed my bags, which were surprisingly heavy. I understand why my dad was carrying them now, and I quickly boarded the train with a grin on my face.

It isn't goodbye forever. Just goodbye for a while.

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

"Well, I guess this is goodbye for a while, huh?" I looked at my dad who for some strange reason was glowing with pride. Maybe he thought I never would amount to anything so was surprised I was a wizard but he's still kinda shocked? Look at me, trying to dissect pride my father showed because it didn't make sense. Is that terrible?

I clung onto my book "Hogwarts: A History" a bit tighter when my dad hugged me in hopes he wouldn't bend the hardcover with his large muscles.

"Oh, Hiccup, yer gonna make me so proud!" He seemed so sure of it too. It almost made me feel bad for thinking I would suck at the school, but hey. Can't all be winners, can we?

"Here's your stuff." He handed me a small luggage bag and I thanked him. He pat me on the head, giving me a look of approval. Certainly a look I had no experience in seeing. He nudged the train and I knew it was time to go.

"I'll miss you, dad." I said quietly. He nodded.

"I'll miss you too, son." He took a step back as if to give me room to grow up, and be a man and walk onto the train. I felt more independent. I'm not entirely sure if I liked that or not. Even so, I smiled at him one last time, made my way to the train stairs and climbed in.

It was surprisingly busy and I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry…" Barely been here for five minutes and already I'm being that terribly awkward presence.

~Jack Overland~

"I don't want to go." I glowered as North easily pushed me through the platform and I held onto my cage for my long-term pet rabbit.

"You're going." He didn't seem to like to listen to me very much.

"You are an awful listener." I voiced with a sigh.

"So I've been told. Now here we are. Go." I wanted to smack him. I hated regular school, what made him think I wanted to go to a magic one? Well, at least I don't have to deal with math anymore.

"I just went on like a hundred THOUSAND times that I didn't want to go." I said flatly and he gave me another push.

"Even for you that's a bit over exaggerated." He said light heartedly and I groaned for a solid 10 seconds.

The train's whistle rang loudly through the crowded area and North looked worried. He grabbed me by my sweater and pretty much threw me onto the train and the doors closed behind me.

If only I stalled him for a few more seconds…

I looked down at the ground and sighed when I realized someone bumped into me. I glared at them.

"I'm sorry…" He was shorter than I was. Not by too much, but he was short. Auburn hair, green eyes, dorky. Not the type of people that I would go out of my way to be friends with. To be fair though, there isn't many people I'd rush to be friends with right now. Way too angry. Is this the teenage angst Tova had been warning me about?

"Just watch it, kay?" I snapped and slid passed him looking into compartments trying to find an empty one so I didn't have to deal with anyone.

Lucky me, the closest I could get was sitting next to a Yeti with red hair.

"This seat taken?" I didn't bother to wait for a response. I threw my things on top and sat down. The girl looked unimpressed. I really didn't care. If she didn't like me, she wouldn't talk to me. All I want is peace and quiet.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but do you mind if I sit here?" I looked up and saw a girl with blonde, braided hair. Oh my god did she have a lot of hair twisted in that braid.

"Go ahead." The girl across from me smiled fondly and blondie blushed and put her things next to the case that was labeled 'M.D'. Blondie's said 'R.C'.

"My name is Rapunzel." She held out her hand to the red head.

"Merida." Then blondie looked my way and smiled.

"What's your name?" She asked politely.

"Doesn't matter." I said flatly and stared out of the window. Rapunzel seemed a bit crestfallen.

"…" I looked up at her and she seemed rather let down. "…Jack Frost."

She gave me a shy smile and extended her arm.

"Nice to meet you, Jack." Her voice was so gentle. I was surprised by the calming effect it had on me. Not that I would let her know that of course.

I shook her hand and she sat down and pulled out a sketchbook. I also noticed she had a green frog on her shoulder. Weird.

"Um… Hi?" I looked up. It was that kid from before. His cheeks were bright red, man he seems to be super awkward.

"Hello!" Rapunzel grinned at him fondly. "Would you like to sit with us?"

"Uh… Actually yeah, that would be great." He smiled nervously and slowly walked into the compartment like we were going to eat him. His luggage made me laugh. 'H.H.H. III' What odd initials.

"Oh you draw too?" Rapunzel leaned over her seat excitedly as he pulled out a sketchpad and sat down next to me. Of course.

"Yeah… I do. Yup."

"That's wonderful! So do I! My name is Rapunzel!" She was excessively eager. I wasn't sure if I found it endearing or not yet.

"Hi… I'm Hiccup." I snorted, and to my defense, so did Merida.

"What a lovely name!" The look on Rapunzel's face showed that she genuinely meant it. She sure is a weird one.

I could safely say that I had a certain dislike for everyone in the cabin. Hiccup was super awkward, Merida kept glaring at me and Rapunzel was really to hyper.

I saw that Merida and Rapunzel were bonding and Hiccup was flipping through his sketchbook and he kept glancing up and sighing.

What was his problem?

Soon the compartment fell into a comfortable silence. Merida was staring out of the window tiredly, Rapunzel was petting her... frog or whatever it was and Hiccup was still doodling.

"So is anyone else excited to go across the lake?" Hiccup asked randomly and Rapunzel perked up. I inwardly groaned at the broken silence and Merida picked her head up from laying on the window.

"What are ya talkin' bout?" She asked and he pulled out his Hogwarts: A History book with a shy smile.

"The first years are transported to the school by boat while the other years get there by thestral drawn carriages. Kinda sad thing is though; you can only see thestrals if you witnessed a death so to a lot of people they look like self-moving carriages." He explained and I frowned. That just seemed depressing.

"Do you know more about these creatures?" Rapunzel asked and Hiccup's face lit up.

"Yes I've been doing a lot of reading on mythical animals. I wanted to read about dragons but... Anyway, they're carnivores and they love the smell of blood. But they're really nice creatures and they hang out in packs. They're also super smart. Especially when they bond with someone, they're able to tell what the rider wants before the rider does."

"That sounds wonderful." Rapunzel smiled warmly.

"Another cool creature is there's a giant squid in the Black lake."

"A giant squid?" Rapunzel repeated and Hiccup nodded.

"How big is giant?" Hiccup shrugged.

"Like really big? I'm not sure it didn't give a weight..." He began skimming through the book again and I snorted.

"There's also centaurs in the Forbidden Forest." I said easily and Hiccup perked up at me speaking for whatever reason.

"I totally read about that. I wonder if one is still a Divination teacher..."

The rest of the train ride consisted of everyone talking about random magical creatures and where they saw them or read about them. Merida's big contribution to that was will o' wisps, which I really didn't even think existed but she was insistent that they helped her on several occasions.

I couldn't express my true happiness once the train finally stopped and we got out. They let the first years have the whole package so we were grouped up into pairs and sent over the lake in boats. I was stuck with Hiccup. I didn't really say much to him but I did watch the way his face lit up at the beauty of the lake.

Wait, wasn't this lake the one he said had a giant squid in it? I looked down at the black water and frowned. Sure hope not.

The boat ride lasted a good 20 minutes and I was surprised by the heightened anxiety I had by being on the water. Of course, if I wanted to I could freeze the water. That was my secret specialty. I'm really good with any kind of ice spells. Then I wouldn't have to worry about a giant squid.

"You ok?" Hiccup asked, wordlessly offering his hand in helping me out of the boat. I nodded.

"Peachy." His lips were a thin line and he gave me a nod and started walking with the group.

"Hey look!" Hiccup pointed and I turned my head and there was a giant tentacle sticking out of the water a few yards away. I guess that answers that question. I had to remind myself that it was a semi-domesticated squid and it actually helped students when they fell into the lake but for some reason it was still unnerving.

"Wow that was so amazing!" I heard Rapunzel gush and smirked slightly. She would be excited about that.

We were brought up the stairs (and by god were there so many damn stairs.) We were made to wait outside the great hall doors. Why was everything so excessively large here anyway?

Seemingly randomly the doors finally opened and we were led inside.

The great hall was huge. A lot bigger than I originally thought it would be although I shouldn't have been too surprised judging by the size of the front doors to the room.

I saw Rapunzel to my left holding her frog and hopping. She looked so excited. Merida had a big doofy smile on her face and she looked so amazed. Hiccup… Well he just looked intimidated. Poor guy.

The plus side to having Hiccup in the compartment on the train, he basically gave a rundown on what happened at the school; Which I totally seemed completely uninterested but I was paying close attention. After all, I had literally no idea what I was walking into.

"It's time…" Rapunzel said with a huge grin. Then they started listing off names.

Rapunzel was the first to go of the people I knew and she practically bounced up. I noticed that she didn't wear shoes either. Odd. I thought I was the only one…

"Ravenclaw!" She gave a bashful grin and giggled and hopped off the chair and was happily embraced by the Ravenclaw house. That surprised me though. I honestly didn't expect Rapunzel to be placed in the smartest house. I guess that was somewhat rude of me to assume she was dim.

Merida was the next to be called up and with a deep inhale; she walked up, broad shoulders and proudly sat on the seat. She had a reason to. She was placed in the bravest house. Gryffindor.

I was the next one up. I couldn't lie. I was shaking with anticipation. I didn't want to be here but this would decide where I would be going for the next few years. This determined my home.

Was I a Gryffindor? Brave, daring and chivalrous? Was I a Hufflepuff? Patient and loyal? Was I Ravenclaw? Where I would be the smartest of my kind, quick witted and ready to learn? Or would I be Slytherin? Known to be cunning and ambitious.

I looked at Hiccup for support and he gave me an awkward smile. I realized that no matter how annoying I thought he was, he was good people. I'd try to be friends with him. I smiled back, shook his hand and shoved my way through the crowd where I noticed their signs of irritation.

I sat on the stool, let the Professor put that ratty old hat on my head and let my thoughts be swarmed by the speech of the hat.

"Hmmm… How confusing…It seems that you have the qualities to put you in any house with your bravery, wit and your loyal nature. Something is inside you… Something burning through all of the others. You want to be noticed. You crave attention. Is that a strong sense of ambition I see? Well I certainly can't ignore that…"

"SLYTHERIN!" At the loud howl of the hat, I searched for the reactions of everyone I've met. Rapunzel just smiled at me and clapped politely. I glanced at Merida. As though she didn't like me before, she was sure to make the distaste for me even more apparent. Hiccup awkwardly smiled at me again. That seemed like enough.

I climbed off the chair and strolled over to the Slytherin table. I hadn't even noticed my plain black Hogwarts tie was now proudly showing the Slytherin colors. I sat next to another new student. He was somewhat creepy. Pale, black hair, black eyes. He looked like a nightmare. Nevertheless, he was the only student to smile at me as if he was very happy to see me.

"Yo." I sported a smirk as I slid into the bench. "Jack Overland." I held out my hand and he stared at it for a minute before returning the gesture.

"Hello Jack. I'm Dusk Black." He smiled and I nodded at his name and glanced up waiting for Hiccup to be sorted.

~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~

Yeah. Yeah that's me shaking. After everyone else I was acquainted with was sorted, I just kinda… You know, stood there awkwardly. Really nothing to do…

Okay. I admit it. I am terrified. What if I'm not sorted into Gryffindor? What is my dad going to say?

"Oh Hiccup, yer mum was braver than ya! Why do I always let meself be so disappointed in you when I know it's gonna happen?"

I'm not looking forward to being sorted. I am quite visibly trembling. But I shouldn't, right? Rapunzel didn't freak out she just… skipped. Merida really took it like a Viking. She just strode up there like she was the boss and sat down. Jack, well, he looked like he couldn't give a care in the world. Why am I so nervous?

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third." Oh man. That was my name, wasn't it? I mean who else's name could sound that ridiculous. I actually turned red from all of the chuckles. I put my head down and strode up to the stool, trying my best to present myself like a Viking. I believe I failed miserably but I honestly can't watch myself. I sat down on the stool and winced when the hat was put on my head. And then he started talking…

"Why so nervous, Hiccup? You're so afraid of pleasing everyone else you can't think of the one place that will really embrace you for who you are. You're kind, you put others before yourself and no matter what, you stay loyal to anyone who you meet. I know exactly where you belong…"

"HUFFLEPUFF!" My shoulders sagged.

"Thor hates me."
