Darii here! Thanks for the lovely reviews everyone! You guys have really made my day.

Turner Child: Thank you! ^^ Here's chapter one and enjoy reading it!

Guest: Thanks heaps! The mysteriousness is about to get mysteriouser! And as for your question, I thought someone would ask that. (: I've altered all their stories very much. I've made Jack an average 11 year old wizard (except for his unique powers). Same with the others. I kinda find that it fits the plot of my story better that way. Also, I'm a big supporter of Jackunzel and their age difference (around 300 years) kinda reminds me of Edward and Bella and...well...let's just say, I'm not a big Twilight fan. (: So their age difference is only a year and some months. Sorry if I ruined yours or anyone else's expectations ):

KathryneNight: Hmm, they're really good ideas! But I was thinking that Merida's fiesty personality and her unconditional bravery more than makes up for what the others have. But you're right, perhaps Merida does need some powers of her own. We'll see how this story turns out. (:

Well, everyone! Here it is! The actual story has started!


Chapter 1 - Rapunzel's Wand

[Rapunzel Gothel]

"Owl? But I'd rather Pascal." Ten year old Rapunzel looked to her right shoulder on which her bright green pet chameleon was perched. Then she turned her head back up to lock eyes with her adoptive mother, Nerissa Gothel.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind, sweetie." Her mother assured her with a smile. She had already discussed this pet issue with Professor North, the current Headmaster of Hogwarts. He had seemed perfectly fine with it. Nerissa smiled at her daughter and murmured, "Now let's get you a wand."

They entered the small, scruffy looking shop called Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC, with Rapunzel sporting a look of innocent curiosity. A bell tinkled in the distance as the door opened and Rapunzel spotted a girl with long wild red hair who was waving a wand, looking kind of bored.

"Hello!" Rapunzel burst out to her. Nerissa shook her head at her daughter's lack of knowledge in conversing with strangers and put a hand on her shoulder protectively. She really should have let Rapunzel out more often. Pascal looked at Nerissa understandingly at her daughter's naivety and Nerissa couldn't help but smile at the little creature.

The red-headed girl turned and spotted Rapunzel. Instantly, her eyes fell on Rapunzel's forty or so feet of hair, her freckled face an expression of wonder and confusion. "Um…hi…?" she responded uncertainly with half a smile.

"Are you going to Hogwarts?" Rapunzel asked excitedly, approaching the young girl. Then quickly added, "I'm Rapunzel, by the way."

"Ya. I'm startin' Hogwarts." The girl replied, looking slightly interested at the mention of the school she was starting this year. She smiled at Rapunzel, "An' the name's Merida." Her accent was a rich Scottish one.

"Merida? That's a pretty name." Rapunzel complemented, tucking a strand of golden hair behind an ear. Pascal nodded in agreement.

Merida smiled at the chameleon. "Thanks. Yer name's not bad yerself." She replied, causing Rapunzel's cheeks to blush a bright red. She was about to ask about the chameleon, when a rather old man popped out from behind a shelf, a wand in hand. "Try this one, Miss DunBroch." He handed Merida the wand, who waved it in the air, causing red sparks to shoot out from the tip of it.

"Wow…" Rapunzel whispered, looking awestruck as she watched Merida excitedly wave the wand around some more.

"Just wait till you get your own." Nerissa told her little girl, stroking her daughter's long golden locks lovingly. Pascal could only clutch onto Rapunzel's blouse for dear life as the golden haired girl jumped up and down soundlessly, beside herself with excitement.

"See ya at Kings Cross then." Merida waved as she exited the shop with her new wand.

"Bye!" Rapunzel waved back enthusiastically, then walked up to the old man, who appeared to be the owner of the shop.

"Ah, Nerissa! Long time no see!" he exclaimed, upon spotting Rapunzel's mother. His pale eyes fell on the little girl approaching him, "And who is this? Your daughter."

Nerissa nodded, "She is starting Hogwarts next week. Just gathering her supplies," she told him, stroking her own wand, "We've yet to get her some robes."

"Hello Mr. Ollivander." Rapunzel mumbled shyly, excitement bubbling inside her.

"Your wand hand, Miss Gothel?" Mr. Ollivander asked the little girl, who dutifully held out her right hand. He then waved his own wand and a tape measure appeared out of nowhere and started measuring Rapunzel all over. She giggled a little as she watched it magically move about, measuring her full height, then waist down, then waist up, then everything in between. A while later, Mr. Ollivander murmured, "That will do." And the tape measure dropped onto the floor, lifeless.

Mr. Ollivander disappeared into the depths of his shop and returned with several boxes that were, no doubt, filled with wands. He set them on his desk and pulled off the lid of one of the boxes and held out a brown wand with a black handle for Rapunzel to take.

"Ten inches, Rosewood and Phoenix feather, pliable." He told her, "Give it a wave."

She obeyed and some strange red light shot out of it and an electric jolt went up Rapunzel's arm, causing her to drop the wand in shock.

"Hmm…" Mr. Ollivander wondered as Rapunzel picked up the wand, mumbling an apology. He paid her no mind, instead looking at Rapunzel's golden hair with interest. He approached her slowly and held his hand out. "May I?" he questioned.

Rapunzel looked to her mother, who nodded at her in reassurance. Upon Rapunzel's hesitant mumbled 'yes', Mr. Ollivander reached out and took a strand of her seemingly never-ending hair. He observed it for a while, that curious look never leaving his features. Then, quite suddenly, he dropped Rapunzel's hair and ran deep into the shop, returning shortly, with a dusty box in hand. He pulled out a golden handled, white wand with delicate golden carvings in the wand and handed it to Rapunzel. Upon contact, she instantly felt some warm heat run up her arm. At Mr. Ollivander's nod, she gave it a small wave and golden sparks shot out of the end, temporarily lighting up the entire room.

With a smile, Mr. Ollivander said, "Nine and a half inches, Willow and Unicorn hair, pliable." He looked at Rapunzel, "Do you know what powers a Willow tree possesses?"

"What?" Rapunzel asked, emerald orbs wide with curiosity.

After a slight pause, Mr. Ollivander murmured dramatically, "Healing powers."

Rapunzel's eyes went – if possible – even wider and she looked down at the wand, observing its intricate golden design in wonder. Then her eyes travelled to her hair, lying in a heap on the ground beside her, then looked back at the wand. "And what about the unicorn hair?" she asked, musical voice barely above a whisper. "What powers does it have?"

"Well, child, wands that contain unicorn hair, produce very consistent magic and are the most faithful of wands. And they choose only the most faithful of people."

"Wow…" Rapunzel smiled, then waved her wand some more. "So I'm faithful?" she questioned, voice practically jumping with joy, as more gold sparks streamed out of her wand.

"Very much darling." Nerissa told her daughter as Pascal squeaked in excitement.

Rapunzel handed the wand back to Mr. Ollivander, who wrapped it up carefully before placing it back in the box. "That will be seven Galleons." He said in his frail voice.


Yup, Nerissa is Mother Gothel and nope, she's not a bad guy. And Jack and Hiccup are yet to make their appearances. Well, anyway, tell me what you think of this fanfic so far and if I require any improvements (: In other words, constructive criticism is accepted with open arms!
