Ok so this new story is being posted not because it is done, not because fans are asking for it but because it is my 18th birthday! So this is my gift to you (this is the older sister) so I hope you enjoy!
Prologue
Ms. Wilson, headmistress of Draxon Academy for Gifted Witches and Wizards, sat at her desk, re-reading a letter from the Chief of the Magical Investigation Brigade (MIB). She still didn't want to believe what she was reading. Mr. Danforth had been the greatest History of Magic teacher the school had ever seen.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Come in"
William, Susan, and Sarah Danforth walked in. The second Sarah walked in; she fell to her knees at the front of Ms. Wilson's desk
"Ms. Wilson, I am so sorry about locking Matthew in the cage with the Dragons!"
"What did you do?" William asked
Sarah shrugged "He was annoying me, and it's not like the dragon's hurt him…much" she turned back to the headmistress "Please Ms. Wilson, give me a detention, or whatever other punishment you can think of…just don't tell my parents! They'll kill me!"
"You can relax, Sarah" Ms. Wilson said "I won't tell your parents"
"You won't?" Sarah asked "Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are the greatest headmistress ever!"
"Just because she won't doesn't mean I won't" William said
"Sarah, the only reason I am not telling your parents is-"
"Because you are the most awesome headmistress to ever walk the earth?" Sarah offered
"No" Ms. Wilson said "I'm not telling them, because the MIB found their bodies in the entryway to your home this afternoon"
"Huh?" Susan said
"The Chief of the MIB wrote to me, and they fond your parents dead" Ms. Wilson said
"What about the baby? Did they kill Brian too?" Susan asked
"No, Brian is…well, we don't exactly know where Brian is"
"What do you mean you don't know where Brian is" Susan yelled!" He's two, he can walk, sure, but how far could he have gotten!"
"We think he was kidnapped by the same people who killed your parents" Ms. Wilson said
"So…they are really dead?" Sarah asked, tears streaming down her face
"I'm sorry" Ms. Wilson said
"Where, no, what is going to happen to us now?" William asked
"Well, you have relatives all offering to take you in, but the MIB thinks that would just endanger more of your family. So, we sent word to England, where Sarah's godfather lives…"
"I have a godfather?" Sarah asked
"Yes, you have a godfather" Ms. Wilson said "He has offered to let all three of you live with him and a friend of his…it's his friends house you'd be staying in. However, William, as you will be a fully trained wizard both there and in America, you can go with your sisters or stay here"
William was quiet, and then looked at his sisters. Susan looked like she was fighting back tears, which, since she never showed emotion in public, William thought she might be. Sarah was still in tears, her shoulders shaking leaning against her sister for support.
"I'll stay with them" William said "Someone has to keep Sarah in line and help Susan find Brian….I refuse to go back to being the only boy!"
"Hey, I want to find Brian too!" Sarah said "I am not going back to being the youngest!"
"Am I the only one who just cares about Brian?"
"No" Sarah and William said
"We'll start by finding who killed our parents…" Susan said
"Absolutely not!" Ms. Wilson said
"What?" The three students said
"You are not going to hunt down your brother and your parents murderer" Ms. Wilson said "Leave that to the MIB"
The three started to protest
"QUIET!"
The three fell silent
"You are going to England to keep yourselves safe. When the MIS finds Brian, he will be sent to England, and reunited with you"
Later that day, William, Susan, and Sarah were at a nearby beach. Sarah was sitting on a nearby boulder, moping and staring off into space while listening to Susan and William planning on how to break Ms. Wilson's orders without her finding out"
"…it doesn't matter if we are half-way around the world! She isn't called the Jedi for nothing!"
"I'm an adult, she can't control me"
"Just watch her"
"Come on, this is a great idea! Inspired!"
"Standing around on random street corners with a picture of Brian asking 'Have you seen this toddler' is not an inspired idea!"
"You're just jealous 'cause you didn't think of it first"
"Sarah help me out here! Sarah?"
"Sarah, I'm going to go beat up Joshua for no reason" William said
Sarah remained off in space
"I'll take that as she says I can" William said
"Sarah!" Susan yelled in her ear
"What?" Sarah asked
"Just say you agree with me?"
"On…?"
"It doesn't matter" Susan said "Just say it"
"OK…I-"
"Sarah! There you are!"
"Damn, I almost had her" Susan said. William and Susan went back to arguing if it was a good idea.
(Author's Note: The stuff in bold is in Mermish)
Joshua ran up to Sarah. Their three friends, Maddie, Kathleen, and Anna were behind him. Kathleen walked over and sided with Susan. Anna and Maddie just kind of stood there idly.
"Hey Joshua" Sarah said sadly
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing"
"Something is wrong. What is it?" Joshua asked
"What makes you think something is wrong?" Sarah asked
"Four things…One, you aren't involved in the argument. Two, you have tears coming out of your beautiful eyes. Three, your beautiful face is now red and splotchy. Finally, you are at the beach, and not in your bathing suit talking to the Mermaids and Mermen."
"Our parents were just murdered"
Maddie, Anna, and Kathleen froze
"M-murdered?" Joshua started paling.
Sarah nodded "We just found out"
"Oh baby, I'm so sorry" Joshua asked "but hey, look at the bright side, now we don't have to worry about your parents walking in on us anymore. They were alright, I guess, but they were losers"
Anna and Maddie's eyes grew very wide. Sarah's eyes became dangerously narrow. Her nose flared. William didn't need to know Mermish to know Joshua had just made a big mistake.
"What did he say Sarah?" William asked
"You giant jerk! I can't believe you! Dating you most definitely is the biggest mistake of my life! You are the biggest jackass I have ever had the unfortunate experience of meeting!"
"What are they saying Anna?" William asked
"You don't want to know"
"Maddie?"
"Anna's right, you don't want to know"
"Sarah, what is he saying?" Susan asked. Of the group, only Maddie, Anna, and Sarah were the only ones who knew Mermish. Susan and Kathleen spoke in Elvish, and William spoke Goblin.
"Now Sarah, just calm down. I didn't mean to offend you or your family or anything."
"We're through!" Sarah yelled "Oh, and that whole 'didn't mean to offend your family' crap…you might want to work on that!" Sarah jumped down, and fell. She stood up "No one saw that" and stormed off
"I did!" William yelled
Susan hit William hard. "Now, you are NOT USING YOUR STUPID PLAN!"
Maddie and Anna walked past Joshua, as they went to be with Sarah
"Are all guys this idiotic? Or is it just you?" Maddie asked
"Real smooth," Anna said "I have heard of Death Eaters with more sensitivity training…like Bellatrix Lestrange"
