A Hogwarts Tale: Decedents of the Sun

Chapter three of my story that I amazingly finish despite all the workload that come with school and work. O.o I do hope you guys enjoy it.

Thanks for reviewing:

Queen Sound: Thank you for the compliment, I'll try to make the other chapters even better ^^ and yeah Hiccup should have made the connection but since they're young their minds kind of side tracks. Don't worry, he'll make the connection and feel silly for not noticing it earlier.

Guests: Thank you guys for the encouragement! I will continue to write on and make this the best Big Four Hogwarts AU I can! Sorry that it takes a while to upload a chapter though.

Speaking: "Hello there."

Thoughts: What the blazes—

Last Time

"Sure! Let's see…Punzie! You are now Punzie!" Jack laughed as Rapunzel gave him a hug.

"I love it! Thanks Jack!" Jack laughed wholeheartedly as he patted her back.

"No problem, that's what friends are for." Hiccup felt his face heat up again once more. He never really had any friends back and Berk and for someone to call him a friend so quickly, it made his heart flutter. "So to pass the time who wants to play cards?" Both Rapunzel and Hiccup gave Jack a curious look as he took out a deck of cards.

"How do we play that?"

As I explained in the last chapter, the wizarding community is a large one and not only located just in England. However, many would argue that the most magical place would lie in the heart of Scotland since Hogwarts is located there among several other magical creatures and historical sites. Some of you muggles may recognize these creatures in fact, for instance, the Loch Ness Monster, even though it's a Kelpie—largest of its kind in fact. Sorry to disappoint you but it's not a sea serpent. There's also a large heard of Banshee, magical stags, Herbridean Dragons, the Giant Squid at the Black Lack, the Standing Stones—you know the ones that are standing in a circle—and the Will'O Wisps.

According to legend, someone once said that that on certain days for certain travelers in certain parts of the world, little lights would dance on the horizon, whispering tempting invitations, pledging the answers to lifelong questions, promising to make dreams a reality, or give a key to secret treasures—a change of fate as some would say.

Charmed and curious by these dancing lights, unsuspecting travelers would follow these floating lights, mesmerized by their whispers and their promises. Yet no matter how long or how fervently they follow the Wisps, they never quite touch the beautiful flickering lights that eventually fade and disappear… leaving the inquisitors, the dreamers and the treasure seekers lost… and alone.

Well that's according to legend and with many Scottish wizards exaggerating their encounters with the Will'O Wisps, one can hardly tell what's fact and what's fiction.

However, there is one wizarding family that has been closely tied to the Will'O Wisps and their lineage goes back to the days when the Standing Stones were built, before the arrival of the Loch Ness Monster and so on. However, over the years the family has become distance from their fellow magical creatures that they too consider it just a story and the Will'O Wisps have all but disappeared. Yet, one girl will change all that in due time.

Her name? Merida Dunbroch and she is probably the first and only witch in her family lineage to ever consider living a muggle life instead of a wizard one.

It was a relatively normal Sunday afternoon when the Dunbroch family decided to have a picnic just several years back when their only daughter had just turned four. At first they were going to celebrate Merida's birthday at their estate but due to Merida's pleading, Furgus and Elinor decided to take her to the forest just outside their estate.

"I'm going to get you." Elinor laughed as she "chased" her daughter around the picnic table before the young child decided to hide underneath the wooden furniture. "Oh I wonder where she went… After all, I'm going to gobble her up and eat her." Elinor exaggerated pretending to not have notice her daughter's giggling before the table suddenly levitated. "Got you!"

"Eek!" Merida cried, laughing as she ran towards her father as she had been found. "Hide me hide me!"

"What's this? A Dunbroch running from danger?" Fergus laughed as Merida tried to lift his own wand to "fight" her mother.

"Can I use yer wand?" Merida asked, as she plopped down, under the weight of the rather heavy wand.

"I'm 'fraid not yet, but I got som'hing for yer." Fergus smiled as he reached behind him to grab his daughter's gift.

"What is it, what is it, what is it?!" Merida cried before her eyes went wide with wonder as her father pulled out a wooden bow, made just for her size. "ooooh~"

"Fergus!" Elinor cried, knowing exactly what her husband got for her daughter's birthday. "A muggle's weapon!"

"Don't be such a worry wart Elinor." Fergus laughed as his daughter played with the bow in wonder. "I figured she should learn how use something other than a wand if she needed to protect herself."

"But Fergus…we're wizards. Couldn't you get something else?" Elinor asked before Merida turned towards them, smiling from ear to ear.

"Daddy! Teach me how to shoot!" Elinor sighed; perhaps she could just let this slide and let Merida have her fun. After all, she would probably grow up and get disinterested in muggle items and focus solely on her magic.

"lright then! Let's get you a target to shoot at!"

Several targets later, Merida pouted as she had yet to hit the golden center and despite her parent's encouragement—mostly from her father—it frustrated Merida. As she struggled with her last arrow, she had accidently let go to high and the arrow soared past the target and into the forest just behind their estate.

"I missed…"

"Go and fetch it then." Elinor smiled as Merida dropped her brow and rushed into the forest to retrieve her arrow. Of course Elinor and Furgus never thought for a moment that their daughter would be in danger in their forest. Not with all the protective charms and spells placed around the area after Furgus's encounter with Mor'du. They had thought they had seen the last of him but….at it seems, fate had other ideas.

Merida ran through the forest as fast as her little feet could carry her, giggling and marveling at the sight of her family's forest. While the part of the forest she was in was considered a bit darker, it had its own charms. Several magical plants and flowers bloomed as Merida came near them only to close tightly as she tried to touch them. Leaves and vines took on shapes of magical creatures, greeting the young witch before disappearing into nothing seeing as they like little human interactions. Merida didn't let this put her down and continued to smile and laugh as she traveled further into the forest, trying to find any signs of her arrow. Just as she was about to give up, she noticed an arrow shaft sticking out of one of the oldest trees in the forest—and also Merida's favorite.

"Sorry! Dad got it fer me." Merida apologized to the magical tree as it shook its branches once Merida pulled out the bow.

A little Authors note, according to my friend, this tree was a distant relative to the Whomping Willow residing at Hogwarts. Just a fun fact so to speak. Sorry back to the story.

As Merida petted the tree, soothing it's fresh wound, the snapping of twigs caught her attention and she clung onto the bow as tightly as she could. She gulped in fear as she tried to make out any abnormal figures coming from the forest. However, before she could even take a step, a soft crying voice caused Merida to turn around. She gasped in shock before her lips formed a smile.

"A Will'O Wisp." Quickly she ran towards the blue flame like tiny spirit, eager to touch the mythical creature her family always spoke of. As she finally got within a foot of the spirit, Merida hesitantly reached out towards the creature and just as she was about to touch it, it disappeared. "They are real."

Just then, a path of Will'O Wisp appeared inviting the young witch to follow them which Merida was all too eager to do. As she followed the trail of the mythical spirits, Merida could help but giggle and laugh as she tried to touch the ever evading spirits and before long, she found herself out of the forest.

"Merida. Come along Sweet 'art. We're leavin' now." Elinor called out, oblivious to the small but influential encounter her only daughter just had. Merida quickly ran up to her mother and eagerly told her of the creatures she saw in the forest before telling her about the Will'O Wisps.

"I saw a Wisp! I saw a Wisp!" Elinor, knowing the tales of the supposed familiars of the Dunbroch family before they suddenly disappeared, smiled at her daughter and kneeled down at her level knowing the words she would have to say. After all, she was still a child and deserved to still believe in fairy tales.

"A Wisp? Ya know, some say that Will'O Wisp will lead you to yer destiny." Fergus on the other hand, rolled his eyes and chuckled at his daughter's fascinated face.

"Or an arrow."

"Fergus!" Elinor scolded her husband as he continued to mock his ancestors familiars. "Oh don't believe yer father. He just doesn't believe in the legends." Elinor smiled as she picked up her daughter and let her cuddled into her chest.

"He should! They're real…." Just then a shadow passed over the two ladies and Merida, being the only one to see the creature screamed. Elinor turned around and nearly froze in fear as she saw the creature, or rather cursed being, that had haunted the family for years. Mor'du.

Mor'du had the body of an abnormally large black bear. With scars littering it's body and curses joining in on the decorations, one would think that the bear would eventually die. However, this wasn't an ordinary bear; Mor'du was….to put simply….a creature with no soul.

It's one functional eye was always red with blood thirst, it's poisonous claws could easily kill a wizard in a day if not treated and its strength alone would be enough to crush a person's entire body in one swipe. To put it simply…it was a creature that no one should deal with lightly.

"Elinor! Merida!" Fergus screamed before the rest of his men came out of the tents and pointed their wands and enchanted weapons at the foul creature. Elinor managed to place a protective shield in front of her as Mor'du tried to swipe at her and Merida.

"Daddy!" Merida cried as Elinor continued to fire protective shields after protective shields as Mor'du seemed to focus on them entirely and not even affected by the other spells. Furgus snarled at the creature before charging at Mor'du with his wand and hexed him right in the eye, momentarily blinded, Elinor used that small window of opportunity to apparate out of danger. The last thing Merida saw before her world turned black was her father once again charging at Mor'du before getting thrown to the side. "Daddy!"

Six Years Later

"Whoa Merida!" A girl with short blonde hair giggled as she watched Merida shoot another bulls-eye with her recurve bow. "Another bulls-eye. They way you're going now, you could probably try out for the Olympic team!" Merida chuckled nervously as she waited for the rest of the shooters to finish shooting to retrieve her arrows.

"Oh, I don't know. I don't think my mum would want me to." Merida sighed as the all clear came and Merida calmly walked down the shooting rang to retrieve her arrows. Her mouth turned into a frown as she noticed two arrows in the red area instead of the golden bulls-eye. "Missed again…."

"MERIDA!" A shrill voice screamed catching the attention of all the shooters while Merida, the blonde haired girl and the owner of the shooting range winced as they knew the owner of that voice. Quickly pulling out the arrows from the target, Merida spun around to see her mother—thankfully in proper muggle clothing—stomping down towards her. "Merida….."

"Hi…..mum….fancy seeing you here." Merida muttered looking away from her mother before there was a tug on her ear. "Ow! Mum!"

"Merida how many times do I have to tell you, don' go runnin' off by yerself!"

"At least a dozen…." Merida grumbled before getting another tug on her ear. "Sorry!" Elinor sighed heavily as she couldn't help but wonder how her daughter managed to use the Floo system when she had locked it herself. She should talk to Tom at the Leaky Cauldron about her daughters adventures more.

"No matter, time to go. Grab yer….bow….and get going." Elinor huffed as she turned around and walked towards the entrance. Merida made faces at her mother's retreating figure before sighing heavily.

"Looks like I'm goin' see you later?" The blonde haired girl asked nervously as Merida came to pick up her bow.

"Yeah….later. See ya." Merida sighed sadly as she packed her stuff—it would have been faster if magic was involved but no matter, it was a wonderful feeling to handle a bow. Within a minute, Merida hugged her archer partner good bye and stood by her mother once leaving the archery post.

"Honestly, I don't see why yer so insistent on comin' here!" Elinor snapped as the two of them walked briskly through the streets of London. "Yer a witch Merida and shouldn't be this obsessed with the muggle world!" Merida wanted to roll her eyes. While being a witch had its perks—I mean healing bones in seconds and flying, FLYING—Merida knew that Muggles were superior in their own ways and, dare she say it, could overcome a wizard or witch with those guns of theirs.

Also Muggles seemed to be a lot more in tune with their own world and eager to learn about the different cutlers—she ran into a person that called himself an Okatu and immediately fell in love with the pocky—and with their technological advance they could send messages to other people around the world in seconds! Seconds! Wizards and Witches use owls that could take days if not months to actually arrive at their destination.

What I would give to spend more time in the muggle word

"Your father and I will be havin' a word with you young lass," Elinor sighed as they stopped in front of a familiar sign that nearly every witch and wizard knew in London—The Leaky Cauldron. "But not today. Somethin' came in with the owls today." Merida gasped as she looked at her mother who was surprisingly smiling. She hardly smiled anymore!

"No way!"

"Language dear."

"But did it really?! Did the Hogwarts letter come!?" Chuckling, Elinor guided Merida through the Pub where Tom discretely pointed towards the Floo room where witches and wizards could use at any notice.

"Yes."

Not caring for manners, Merida shouted in happiness before her mother had to reel her in and Floo them back to the Dunbroch manor. Merida didn't mind, after all it was the break she was waiting for.

Ever since the Mor'du incident, Merida family had been quite strict on her outings to the forest especially when her father lost his leg to the creature. He was unable to heal it properly since it was caused by dark magic and since then, Merida's interactions with her family's forest diminished. She missed going out on her father's horse—yes they still used horses—watching the magical creatures as they scurried out of their way, how the land seemed to sing as the family used magic…it was torture not being able to see it.

But if what her mother said was true, then she could see more magical creatures at Hogwarts and not worry about her mother nagging on her about witches duties and whatnot. The only downside would be the very limited interaction with the muggle world she loved so dearly. But she could visit during the holidays.

"Merida! How's my lass?" Furgus laughed as he saw his eldest daughter running towards him before noticing his wife's glare. "I mean…um you shouldn' run off like tha'. It wasn't safe." Merida only smiled at her father before noticing the letter in his hands.

"Is that the letter?" Merida asked jumping in excitement before snatching the letter from his hands. "It's a Hogwarts letter!"

"Well why don't cha read it?" Elinor asked as she took a seat next to her husband and watched as her eldest daughter ripped open the wax sealed letter and immediately read it aloud.

"It seems nothing else change' though." Furgus laughed before standing up. "I'm pretty sure we still hav' our books eh Elinor?" His wife smiled at him before nodding.

"Yes and they seem to be still in good condition—"

"When are we goin' to Diagon Alley then?!" Merida asked still shaking in excitement. "When! When!" Elinor laughed and gently placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"Well first, we hav' to send in a reply. Why don't you be a dear and get an—"

"Already on it!" Merida smiled as she rushed out the door and immediately went to get an owl. Elinor smiled as her daughter excitingly hugged her younger brothers—showing the triplets the letter—before they joined her on the trip to the owlery.

"Oh Fergus….it's goin' to get lonely here isn' it?" Elinor asked her husband as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don' worry Elinor. The lass will be fine. Besides, the triplets will be more than enough for us to handle." Elinor chuckled at her husband before resting her head on his sturdy shoulder. "And not to mention the other boys will be goin' wit' her as well. They'll keep an eye out for her."

"I suppose yer right Fergus….I supposed yer right."

"Mum! Mum! Can we go in there?! Please?" Merida begged her mother as the Dunbroch family stopped right in front of the Weasly's Joke Shop. It had been only a couple of days ago that Merida received and sent back a reply and her mother had decided to go shopping for the needed school supplies. Originally it was only going to be Elinor and Merida, but once the triplets found out, they begged to go and Fergus begged as well. Despite Elinor's "power" over her husband, once he lets loose his "puppy dog eyes" as Merida puts it, even the queen as a hard time denying her husband.

"Well, I don't know…" Elinor muttered, already picturing the destruction her daughter could cause at Hogwarts, even more with the triplets.

"Don' be so strict Elinor!" Furgus laughed loudly, catching the attention of the other wizards and witches nearby. "Come on Merida, boys. Let's hav' a look." Immediately the three children rushed inside and made a beeline towards the sweets with Fergus not that far behind them. Elinor rolled her eyes at her husband's childish behavior but decided to give it a rest for today. It was rare to see her daughter laughing carefree.

Merida on the other hand was having a blast as she skimmed through the area, poking her head in each aisle. She smiled as she saw other young witches and wizards try some of the candy samples only for their tongue to grow abnormally large. The children laughed as their parents began to worry over their appearance.

"I always wanted one of these!" Merida squealed as she lifted up a box of jelly bean that promised excuses for missing exams. Before she could read the label of the box, someone else bumped right into her.

"Oh sorry! I didn't see you there." A girl with Black shoulder length chuckled nervously as she held a box of Quill—probably not normal ones since this was a joke shop. "I'm Stephanie Jones, nice to meet you."

"Merida….just Merida." Merida smiled tightly as she withheld her last name. Her family's was very well known and many wizards liked to—as the muggles like to put it—suck up to them and Merida was fed up with it. She couldn't find decent person that WANTED to hang out with her for her and not for her family name. Perhaps if she didn't tell Stephanie her name then she could make a wizard friend for once.

Stephanie gave her a curious stare as Merida continued to smile before smiling herself.

"Well Merida I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is your first time in the Weasly Joke shop?" Merida's eyes widen before she gasped in shock.

"How did you—"

"Your parents look as anxious as mine." Stephanie laughed as she pointed towards Merida's parents and Merida couldn't help but wince as she saw her mother biting her lip as the triplets began trying out some of the products.

"Uh what do you mean—"

"Don't worry, I won't point it out." Stephanie smiled as she saw Merida's panicked face before hers turned bright red. "My parents are worse—"

"JAMIE! SOPHIE PUT THOSE DOWN NOW!" A shrill voice screeched out before the entire store exploded in a dark cloud of Peruvian instant darkness powder. Despite not being able to see anything, Merida could just picture the red face of Stephanie.

"See what I mean?" Merida chuckled as the darkness powder began to disappear.

"No I don't see." By the time the store was clear of the powder; both girls were laughing merrily and trying several products. Before any of them knew it, an hour had passed by and Stephanie reluctantly had to leave.

"Sorry, but my parents are really protective of me. They'll freak if I don't find them soon." Stephanie chuckled nervously as she held a bad of jelly beans—most likely to cause trouble and not for a treat—and laughed as Merida pouted.

"Tell them yer wit' me! That's safe enough." Stephanie smiled softly as lightly punched the red haired witch.

"I would but I'm here with my neighbor and I promised him I would show him around. Maybe I'll see you around." Merida nodded enthusiastically.

"You bet! And when we go to Hogwarts we'll be inseparable!" Stephanie winced catching Merida's attention. "Yer goin' to Hogwarts…right?" Stephanie opened her mouth and a barely audible 'no' escaped her mouth.

"My parents adopted me…..I don't have any magic but my mum, dad and the twins do so….yeah." Stephanie explained looking down and Merida couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. She knew that it was out of Stephanie's control but the fact that she couldn't go to Hogwarts made her feel that she got cheated out of a friend.

"Fine. I guess I won't be seein' you." Merida grumbled before stomping away from Stephanie who only look down in shame. As Merida met up with her parents, she only grumbled that she was done here and wanted to get a move on. That only got a concerned look from her parents.

"Merida, lass are you…"

"I'm fine." Merida grumbled before stomping out of the store. And before the day would be over, her once cheerful mood would plummet even further.

"WHAT DO YER MEAN THEY'RE COMMIN'!" Merida screeched at her mother who had finished explaining that She wasn't going to Hogwarts alone as she had previously thought. Besides wanting to go to Hogwarts to see all the wondrous magical creatures and forest life, Merida was hoping that she could escape her "would be suitors" as her mother said. While she personally didn't hate—she disliked them—her suitors, they were a handful.

Whenever they came over, the three suitors—Young Macintosh, Young MacGuffin, and Wee Dingwall, would always try to show off. Well Macintosh did and the rest would be forced to compete when their fathers were around. In the end, the three would get hurt and promise to return another time. Of course there were rare moments—very rare moments—that they all got along with each other but due to….family pressure…it was mostly a pain to have them around. Merida especially hated it when her mother would try to encourage her to favor a boy only to be reminded by her father that "Merida was only ten and shouldn' hav' pressure to chose just yet.'

There were days when she wished it was just her, the triplets and her father.

"Merida! Volume!" Elinor scolded her daughter who only groaned in annoyance. "And I thought this would be a great opportunity to get to know the boys better." Merida wanted to slap her face.

"Mum! I've known them since I was a wee lass! I don' need to know them better!" Elinor sighed heavily before giving her daughter a stern look.

"Merida Dunbroch, you know very well that in the future yer goin' to marry one of those boys! You can't stop the inevitable—"

"But it's not even ma choice is it mother!" Merida screamed before stomping off to her room. As Merida slammed the door behind her, Elinor sighed heavily before whispering out,

"I thought that if you got to know them without their fathers' hovering them, you could finally see them for they really are…"

"Merida, come along dear." Elinor smiled as she and her family walked through the hidden entrance of platform two and three quarters. Originally Elinor wanted to get to the Hogwarts express by Floo but due to Merida and the triplets begging to travel through the muggle entrance, the family found themselves among the other muggle born or half blood children as they made their way to hidden entrance. While pushing a cart with oversize luggage's—not to mention also an owl—Merida was surprise that none of the muggle conductors bothered to stop them. Perhaps they were just used to it by now?

"Ah, I remember ma first year here as well." Fergus smiled as he hugged his wife as she too smiled at the memories. "A lot less people though."

"Can we get goin'?" Merida huffed as she pushed her cart towards the bright red and black train, wanting to miss her "suitors" "I um…promised to meet up wit' a…a friend! Yeah a friend!" Merida quickly supplied as she saw the suitors and their fathers enter the platform.

"A friend? When did you—"

"At the joke shop!" Merida nearly shouting, wincing at the memory of Stephanie. "I gotta go! Bye mum! Dad! Herbert, Harris, Hamish! See you at Christmas!" Giving each family member a quick kiss, Merida quickly gave her cart to the conductor before rushing onto the train just as the boys greeted her parents.

Sighing heavily, Merida leaned against one of the closed compartments before several other students bumped into her and entered another compartment.

"Sorry!" Merida could only sigh heavily before taking a deep breath and held her head high.

"Don't worry Merida! You'll make friends, jus'…not now." Merida muttered as she walked down the corridors peeking in some compartment as other children began talking excitedly among each other.

"Hey did you hear about the Potter kid?!"

"Yeah My parents say that their second kid is gonna be in our year! How cool is that?" Merida wanted to scoff, what was so special about him? Sure his father saved the wizarding world but other than that, he didn't do anything special himself. Not that she was any better, her parents were very well known and even though she was known as a princess she had nothing to set her apart from everywhere else.

"I hope I'm sorted into Gryffindor then! Maybe I'll become friends with them and…" Merida tuned out of the rest of the conversation as she tried to find a compartment that she could enter. As much as she wanted to make friends, she wasn't exactly ready to go inside a compartment with people already inside. As she neared the end of the train, she noticed that there wasn't any loud noises coming from the compartment and thinking that she found an empty compartment, she pulled open the door and froze as she saw two boys sitting on the couches. Both were rather scrawny—the brown redish green haired boy more so than the other brunette—and stared at her in disbelief. She could feel her eye twitch and decided that another compartment was probably empty somewhere else.

"Another compartment taken." She muttered, closing the door close before any of the boys could get a word in. Sighing heavily, she walked back where she came, almost bumping into a blonde haired girl and nearly shouted out in shock at the length of her blond hair. She was about to say something to the blond girl before a familiar obnoxious laugh caught her attention and she groaned aloud as Young Macintosh, Young MacGuffin, and Wee Dingwall, caught up to her.

"Merida! We save a compartment for you." MacGuffin quickly waved over Merida and as much as she wanted to tell them no, she knew that if her mother found out that she ignored them, she would probably get a howler.

"Hey, MacGruffin, Macintosh, Dingwall…" Merida weakly said as Macintosh laughed loudly and guided her towards their compartment immediately bragging how he would get sorted into Slytherin just like his father did and his grandfather. "What have I gotten myself into?"

Not my best chapter but hopefully, the next one will make it up. If any of you guys have ideas please feel free to PM me, I'm open to ideas. :D Until next time
