A Cross Between Legends

Chapter Two (Word Count: 302)

Harry watched in bewilderment as Arthur and Merlin continually argued. Judging from the things they referred to, they did come from Camelot.

They had quite a funny relationship – constantly, insults were traded between them, though, he had to admit, the blonde man with the gleaming sword – gulp – had a more valid argument; how many people used magic to transport themselves and one other person, and didn't know where (or when, he added in his head) they had taken them to.

Eventually, they did turn to Harry, to ask more questions. He wondered what he was meant they want to know, aside from the obvious. He was surprised, however, to hear them say, in unity, "Do you have magic?" (or sorcery, in Arthur's case.)

"I thought they were the same thing?"

"Not where we come from." Merlin made a pointed effort to ignore Arthur's small glare. "So, were you born with it; sorcery's taught, magic is inherited."

"You can teach magic?"

"Yes," he said, grinning slightly. "But the result is weaker – sorcery. So, were you born with it?"

He found himself nodding. "My mother was Muggle born, though," he added. At the questioning looks, he elaborated, "Muggles are what we call non-magical people."

"Oh... Like Arthur!" Merlin said with a wide grin. Arthur cuffed him around the head again.

"So, what was your name? Harry?" At Harry's affirmative nod, Merlin commented, "Odd name."

"Not now."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I suppose I should let McGonagall explain that..." He wasn't even sure what to say.

"Who is this McGonagall anyway? Is he King?"

"Not really. And she."

"Well, you do realise I'm the Prince? I deserve to see the King." Arthur said indignantly.

"Erm... we don't have one."

The jaws fell slack in shock.

"So, should we go to McGonagall?" They nodded mutely.


This room is colder now, than it ever was~

Canterbury – Calm Down

So, seventeen reviews – and only two chapters published! Hope I get as many reviews this chapter ;D (Yes, you might have something to do with that.)

And remember – anonymous reviews allowed, and I'll still reply xD

NykSkyBlue: I'm really glad you like it so much! Your review made my day :D I am planning to continue it, so look out for updates ;D Thanks for the great review~ :3

Oh, and for your review on There's Always a Way Out, I am planning a sequel – There's Always a Way Back In – more info on my profile (No harm in a little self advertisement ;D) Anyway, I'm still planning it, and, at the moment have no inspiration. I'm currently working on A Cross Between Legends, Discussions of Peace, and Chains of Will. (And The Fall of a Queen, but I'm having a lot of trouble with that D:)

Nat: I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the review :3

So, people might (I have no idea xD) be wondering why Arthur and Merlin aren't in awe about the wonders of modern technology, but, if you remember, Hogwarts is extremely old fashioned (candles, robes etc.) and Arthur knows Merlin has magic, so the magical part is covered too (moving portraits etc.)

Another explanation – Muggles in the present day can't learn sorcery because a) it's not allowed by wizards, and b) there's not enough magic in the... sort of atmosphere xD

The only thing I know will happen in this story: FLYING LESSON! xD
