A.N.: Finally! I thought we would never post this chapter!
As always, please enjoy our work

Once the arrived at the Big Salon they watched the hat choosing houses and like every year they clapped every time that someone went to their own houses.

And when this ritual was over Hermione ate and listened to Dumbledore explain about the Triwizard Tournament. She really had waited a long time before heading to her room, because she wanted to speak with multiple people, ghosts and professors.

By that time the corridors were already empty and she made her way to the Gryffindor Common Room. In her way, she started to read a bit more a Muggle collection she was following, "Sherlock Holmes", by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As always, she had her nose buried deep in the story, "A Study in Red". Vicious little thing. One does not simply stop reading it.

Since her head and eyes were busy she only noticed the person ahead for her when she bumped on him.

Hermione almost jumped with the sound of a dozen books falling onto the ground.

"Sorry!" she kept saying this until the light blond spot said her she was apologizing to someone she didn't liked.

"Malfoy! What are you doing here?!" Only then she looked to the books on the ground. There were two books similar to each other.

"Sherlock Holmes" It seemed like Malfoy enjoyed Muggle literature. Weird. He was so narcissistic with his obsession with blood status…

And the situation just got weirdest. He ran away! He got the book and just… went down! Without even a word.

A few weeks later, more exactly seven weeks later Merida decided she needed to do something about her grades, mostly C's and D's. She decided to speak about her concerns with Rapunzel. Maybe she could help!

"Well, Mer, I don't think I can help you…"

"Why? You're my friend! You can't let me alone in this moment…"

"I'm not that good either, and you wouldn't be exactly easy to help. You refuse everything I say. But, maybe, Hiccup help you"

"Who? I didn't get"

"H-I-C-C-U-P. Don't tell me it's the same story again… The Dragon Boy?"

"Oh that one! I have a few classes with him. He doesn't seem smart enough to be a Ravenclaw"

"Just appearances. He ought to be the smartest person I've ever met. Go ask him for help, c'mon. He won't refuse it"

"But I barely know him!"

"I'll go with you if you want"

"A'right. When?"

"Now"

Rapunzel dragged Merida to the Ravenclaw table, attracting multiple curious looks, for the combinations that their hairs made with their houses. Redhead to Gryffindor flag, blond to yellow Hufflepuff, and the fact that they were heading to a third's house table didn't help.

"Good morning Hiccup" Rapunzel chipped.

He gasped on his food when he saw the familiar shadows of flowing locks. He had a thing for those, since no one in Berk had curled hair.

"G-Good morning!"

"So, Hiccup, Merida was wondering…"

"Hey" she snapped, furious.

"It's true isn't it?" the bond didn't wait for an answer and kept going on. "As I was saying, Merida was wondering if you could help her with her grades, since you're the only Ravenclaw she knows"

"ah-a-a-a, m-me? Are you talking to me?"

"Of course, silly, do you see anyone else near?"

Hiccup looked around. There really wasn't anyone around, but all the faces looked at them as if asking 'Is she really talking to him?'

Merida was starting to lose her patience. Like, what was wrong with him? Would he help her or not?

"So?" she said violently.

"Y-yess, yes, of course yes!" he said trembling.

Rapunzel looked enthusiastic and screamed:

"Great! So, you will meet tonight after dinner at the library. And we should go. Classes don't wait for anyone! Goodbye, Hiccup! Come on Merida"

Every single Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, except for Luna Lovegood looked astonished. Merida DunBroch and Hiccup Haddock Horrendous III speaking was indeed unnatural.
