(these author notes are left unchanged, just a reminder, I, Lord Redmoon, AM Salathi, This is just my more recent and more active account which I am changing all stories over too.)

Salathi's Notes: Hey there peeps! Yes I know it has been a long time since you have received anything from me and I do apologize. real life is keeping me pretty busy and I will probably have to put all my works (aside from this one) on a temporary hold. My spring break is is march 6th-15th and I promise at least 1 chapter each for Thawed Hearts, Frozen Blood and The Winter's Queen. And maybe if you're lucky I will even start another story I have been working on. But no promises.

As For this piece, Azaria convinced me last week that I needed to write a Harry Potter AU Elsanna story. I didn't really want to at first then about an hour or two after she told me I should I was struck light lightning with an idea. I shared it with her and well we went nuts after that. We have a couple of chapters done already (in fact we wrote the first three in practically one sitting .)

Azaria's Notes: Hi Salathi's peeps! Nice to meet you! I'm Azaria97 and I have started a couple of my own stories recently and it would be fantastic if you guys checked them out. I haven't updated in forever, but that should change soon. My profile is under the same name as here. I've had a blast writing this with Sal and I'm really sorry I took him away from the other stories (not really but whatever). Also thank you to Heroism cause that guy is incredible. We have no idea how long this will be, but it should be a fun ride regardless. I hope you enjoy!

Cover Art: As of right now we do not have a cover art piece for this story. We hope to find (or perhaps receive in the form of fanart) a very fitting cover art piece for this story we just haven't had any luck yet.

Dislaimers: We do not own any of the characters from Harry Potter or Frozen. This is a non-incest Elsanna story. Elsa has a very dark past and even darker family history.

Elsa Riddle

Chapter 1

(Elsa)

I jerk awake in a cold sweat, clamping my mouth shut to stop the scream tearing itself from my throat. My heart is trying to beat out of my chest. Another dream, I think, identical to the one the night before, and the one before that. I recall the dream; simple, but lacking detail. I see thick, black smoke in my mind's eye. Walking through the smoke, I suddenly hear a woman scream my name in anguish. The dream is always the same, and I always wake up at that moment.

I glance around the room, panting slightly. I'm glad to see the Slytherin girl's dormitory completely empty. However that definitely won't be the case tomorrow night, and if my dreams continue like this I should prepare for the embarrassment.

"Hoppit," I whisper softly. A moment later I hear a loud crack and a small male house elf appears at my bedside.

"Yes, mistress?"

"I would like my breakfast now." I say to him as I sit up and get out of bed. I slip on a Slytherin robe and head for the common room.

"Yes, mistress." he says and then I hear another crack.

I sit down in front of the common room's fireplace and stare into the flames. Deciding it best to wait for Hoppit's return, I was trying to focus on what I wanted to do today as opposed to my nightmares.

I'd promised Hagrid the other day that I would help rig all the thestrals to the carriage; the ones used to bring all returning students from the train station to the castle. As it so happens, we're doing that today. Other than that, there really isn't anything else to do. I'll probably end up spending all day in the library.. again.

Hagrid is one of my closest friends here at Hogwarts. But for the longest time I didn't really know anyone in this place. I just wanted to be alone, and the reason for that—I was.. well let's just say I was scared. I wasn't scared for myself, oh no; it was for everyone around me. I never let anyone befriend me until 2nd year.

One dark, moonless night I found myself with nothing to do. I snuck out of the castle to wander the Forbidden Forest. I know it sounds weird, but the forest is the only place I feel comfortable. Anyways, while I was walking and concentrating on my thoughts, I missed the hunting trap right in front of me. I could feel the metal bite into my leg as I stepped right into it and screamed. Hagrid heard me and came to my rescue. He deactivated the trap, cleaned my wound and bandaged me up. He also learned one of my biggest secrets that night. We've been close ever since.

I hear another crack and Hoppit appears. He's holding a tray of breakfast foods which he sets down on a small table beside my armchair. He bows low and disappears with another audible crack. I'm left to my thoughts and breakfast.

-o-o-

Hagrid and I finished rigging the thestrals by two in the afternoon and I was now walking back along the edge of the forest, enjoying the crisp mountain breeze. It helped to cool the heat from the blazing sun.

My favorite time of the year is winter, but if I had to pick a 2nd it would be now; right at the tail-end of summer. Everything's so vibrant and alive. It's almost like everything knows that things are about to turn a new leaf.

Once I return to the castle, I go straight to the library and pick out one of my favorite fantasy novels: why, the story of merlin, of course. Not the one that everyone knows but still a good one. I spend the rest of the evening curled up by one of the library's fireplaces. Hoppit arrives with my dinner, no summoning required. I had long ago arranged things with the headmistress and the head of Slytherin House that I would never need to eat with the others in the great hall. I give thanks to my favorite teacher that I was allowed the luxury. He pulled some strings, obviously.

Late that night, after everyone's in bed, I finally return to the common room. I make my way into the girl's dormitory, determined not to wake anyone. Once dressed for bed, I get in and start mumbling some charms to mute all sounds from my bed. I cast one more to distort the light just in case I happen to wake up from a nightmare.

After all that I close my eyes and try to sleep without dreaming. I'm an idiot for thinking it would happen.

(Anna)

"Anna!" I jerk my head up at hearing my own name. I look around, trying to see through the hustle and bustle of the train. Just then I see a huge, hulking form coming at me.

"Kristoff!" I scream and run headlong into my bestest friend. When I'm a few feet away he opens his bulky arms and I leap into them. I try and fail to wrap my arms around his neck, earning a chuckle for my effort. He sets me back down after a really long bear hug.

He greets me, "Nice to see you too, feisty-pants."

"I missed you so much! I can't believe summer is already over and it's time for school again!" I suddenly remember something and gasp. I then lean in conspiratorially and beckon him closer. "How's Sven?" I whisper.

Kristoff smiles and pats his shirt pocket. We giggle together at the shared joke as he straightens back up.

"Hey can you see anybody else, Kris? It's really packed this year and I'm too short to see over the crowds."

He laughs at my pout and turns away to scan the area. "Yeah, it's a good thing you have really bright red hair, or else I would've missed you, short-stuff." In mock hurt, I smack his arm as hard as I can, which doesn't even make him flinch, unfortunately.

I catch a glimpse of some mega curly red hair. It's a shade deeper than mine. "Merida!" I yell as I sprint towards the fiery Scottish girl.

"Wait, Anna! Don't go too far or you'll get lost!" Kristoff tries to grab me, but I'm already too far away. He worries too much.

She hears my voice, spins around and whips out her wand before she realizes it's me. She's always been paranoid. She says it has something to do with 'monster bear surprise attacks' or whatever. She never tells it the same way. Anyway, I skid to a halt as the tip of her wand bumps my nose.

"Oy Anna! Wha hav I told ye abo't sneakin up on me?" She replaces her wand in its hip scabbard as she reprimands me. I look down at my feet in shame of making her uncomfortable.

"Oh geez, Merida, give Anna a break. She's only excited to see you again." I look up to see my friend Rapunzel and her boyfriend Flynn walking toward us. Everyone calls him Flynn, but his real name is Eugene—Rapunzel is the only one allowed to call him that. Rapunzel and I squeal at the same time and dash for each other. We meet in a crushing hug. Neither of us can breathe with how hard we're squeezing, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

We hear a whistle blow, signaling the train preparing to leave. "Oh no! I'm late, and I haven't even said goodbye to my family!" I pull away from Rapunzel and shout a "See you guys in the passenger car!" behind me as I race back towards my family.

Before I'm out of earshot, I hear Flynn ask, "But don't her parents teach at school?" Well.. he's right, but my family has always had the tradition of sending people off at the train station no matter what. Every year, without fail, my mother and father send each of their kids on the Hogwarts Express with big smiles and waves, even though they teach at the same school. Dad said we do this because when he was our age, nobody from his real family did the same for him.

I guess I should mention that my father is Harry Potter. Yes, THEHarry Potter. You know, the one who killed Voldemort? Now-now, don't have a panic attack just because I said his name. My dad always says, "Fear of a name only increases fear of the name itself," so in our house, we say it all the time, even as a joke sometimes. I remember when I was young—when my dad pretended to steal my nose—he would say, "Oh No Anna! Voldemort is stealing your nose because he doesn't have one!" I always cried.. but only because my nose was being stolen; not because I was scared.

Everyone in my family is some kind of famous. My mom, Ginny Potter-slash-Weasley, is an ex-Hollyhead Harpies Quidditch player; my oldest brother James is already the head Auror at only 20, my sister Lily just got recruited by the same Hollyhead Harpies to play seeker for the coming season, and my brother Albus is a 7th year potions prodigy destined for great things.

Now look at me: I've lost every single duel in Defense Against the Dark Arts, fallen off my broom every time I get 5 feet off the ground, and I'm literally the worst potions student in history. I guess I'm kind of good with creatures, but you can't make a good career out of knowing what and what not to do around hippogriffs. Needless to say, nobody really notices me for me, just my famous last name.

Anyway, my brother Albus and I are the only Potters going to school this year. My older brother and sister are still here with my parents to keep up tradition, however. When I finally reach them, I notice something important is missing.

Breathless, I wheeze out, "What," gasp, "happened," gasp, "to my," gasp, "luggage?"

"Late again, Anna?" My mom says lightheartedly while the rest of my family chuckles under their breath. I know she's only joking, but it still stings a little. I nod my head, still out of breath from the short, frantic sprint. Dang, I need to get in shape; this is ridiculous. "Well, don't worry. James and Albus already loaded it on for you."

"Yeah, we figured this would happen, so we took pity on you. And Anna, you have too many books about your monsters, honestly." James smirks at me.

I breathe in to fire a jab back at him but my mom coughs suggestively. I'm reminded of the time. I make a mental note to get back at him later, and then I quickly hug each member of my family as hard and heartfelt as I can.

"Good bye Daddy, Mom, James, and Lil," I rush out, already running toward the nearest train entrance as Albus follows slowly behind me. "I'll see you guys at school later!" I shout at my parents over my shoulder. I try speeding up the stairs, only to trip and narrowly miss face-planting into the floor. I scramble up and look around. I hope nobody saw that. As it turns out, quite a few people did.

I blush and try to brush it off as I continue along the walkway. I walk as quickly as I can, searching each car for my friends as I pass by. Suddenly the train starts to move. I panic and rush to the nearest window, pushing a 1st year out of my way. It makes me feel bad, so I turn around and help him to the window so we can share. It's a tight fit, but we both manage to stick our heads and an arm out the window. I search the crowd for my family and see them standing some distance away. Lily sees me first (I guess that's the natural born seeker in her) and points me out to the rest of the family. We wave furiously at each other for as long as possible as the train pulls away from the station.

I pull myself back into the train when the wind gets too hard for me to stand. I can tell my hair is outta control, but that was worth it. I smile contentedly as I return to looking for my friends. And on second thought, a hairbrush.

I finally find my friends, and more importantly Rapunzel's hairbrush, in a car midway down the length of the train. Rapunzel offers to brush and re-braid my hair; I practically purr as she does so while all of us chat on our way to school. I guess I should introduce all my friends.

First, there's Kristoff. He's a 5th year Hufflepuff with a secret. We have been really close friends since our first year at Hogwarts when he and I got detention for destroying a bunch of Suits of Armor. The punishment was wandering the forbidden forest looking for nargles or something like that. We never found any, but what we did find was so much better. We were walking along with Hagrid when there was a noise that spooked Kristoff. He tried to turn and run, the big baby, but he tripped over this really weird rock. In anger he tried to throw it, but he decided not to when he saw how shiny and warm it was. He slipped it in his backpack before Hagrid could notice. The next day, the rock broke apart and a baby Reindeer Dragon emerged!

The little creature was scaly and brown, stubs atop its head were the most notable feature. It looked like they might grow to be an impressive rack one day. Kristoff named him Sven right off and promised to love and care for him. Honestly, this is what started my love of magical creatures, because Kristoff had no idea how to care for a baby dragon; and we couldn't tell anybody because then he would be confiscated. We even broke into the restricted section of the library using my dad's invisibility cloak. We looked for anything that might help.

Eventually we found a journal called How to Train Your Dragon—author Unknown—that gave us exactly what we needed. We even found out that a reindeer dragon's special skill was size changing! And that's perfect for smuggling dragons in and out of places! Even now, Sven is tucked away in Kris' pocket.

Then there's my roommate Merida. She's a 5th year Gryffindor like me, but she's a transfer student. Her last school was Durmstrang Institute. I know what you're thinking, "How on earth could a girl go to Durmstrang?" Well, when she was accepted, she pretended to be a boy to prove to everyone that she could be as strong as anyone, especially a Durmstrang boy. She was doing great until 3rd year when somebody found out about her secret and blabbed. So she ended up being expelled, but Headmistress McGonagall had such a laugh over it that she invited Merida to study at Hogwarts immediately.

Next there's my cousin Rapunzel. She's a 6th year Ravenclaw. She's the daughter of Uncle Bill and Auntie Fleur. She was kidnapped by vengeful Death-Eaters when she was a baby, but instead of killing her one of them raised her as their own. But about 6 years ago, her boyfriend Flynn accidentally wandered into the Death Eater's hideout. He tried to rescue her, but she had a spell that kept her trapped. Flynn told the Auror's, in a last-ditch effort, about a beautiful girl trapped in a Death Eater's camp. The Head Auror, my dad at the time, personally went and rescued her with Flynn's help. They have been dating ever since and Rapunzel says she likes this family a lot more that her old one.

I don't have a lot of friends because nobody is really interested in being Anna's friend; just a Potter's friend, and I hate that. But I'm happy with our close-knit group and I wouldn't have it any other way. And besides friends, my family is huge and there are too many to try and remember their names, let alone mention them.

Anyway, the five of us spend the entire train ride catching up with each other from a summer apart. All of us chip in to buy a few chocolate frogs and some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans when the treat cart passes by. When we almost arrive at Hogwarts, we change into our robes and wait for the train to pull into Hogsmeade Station. When we're finally off the train, we laugh at the varied looks of fear and awe in the 1st years as they leave the station for the old rickety boats.

We take the thestral-powered carriages because we're all older years. Only Rapunzel, Flynn and I can see the gruesome creatures. Rapunzel and Flynn saw the death of Rapunzel's adoptive Death-Eater mother who was killed by my father. I saw death for the first time when an evil wizard broke into our house one night when I was 5 and my mom and dad got really angry. I didn't realize that what I saw was death until my 2nd year when I could see the thestrals. That was a surprising day.

I greet the thestral pulling our carriage before I climb in behind the rest of my friends. It starts moving and we bump & jiggle along down the road. We finally arrive at Hogwarts Castle with many other students, eventually trickling into the Great Hall to find our respective seats. We say goodbye until later with Merida and I finding empty spots at the Gryffindor table to wait for the 1st years to arrive.

Now the Sorting Ceremony is my favorite part of the Welcoming Feast because it's just so exciting to see the newbies figure out where they'll spend the next 7 years. The varying emotions that cross their faces are all so amusing. There's smugness, excitement, worry, exultation, fear, confusion, sadness on occasion; just so many, and I love watching them all.

I catch a glimpse of my brother Albus at the Slytherin table and wave furiously at him. He sees me and winks before continuing to talk to his friends. I look back to the front of the room and see that the last kid is being sorted. He gets put into Hufflepuff and the table explodes in applause, just like each house has for each new addition.

When the Sorting Ceremony finishes, Headmistress McGonagall rises from her ornate seat and begins her annual speech. "Don't go here, don't do that—if you're a Potter or Weasley, you'd better stay out of trouble or so help me," etcetera, etcetera. Just the normal.

Then comes the teacher's introduction.

"Hermione Weasley as the Transfigurations teacher, (That's my aunt.)

"Ron Weasley as the History of Muggle Studies, (He's my uncle, and Aunt Hermionie's husband.)

"Draco Malfoy as the Potions teacher, (My dad says he knew him when he was younger.)

"Neville Longbottom as the Herbology teacher, (He's my uncle. Well, not my real uncle, but he's still really close to the family so I call him my uncle.)

"Rubeus Hagrid as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, as well as the gamekeeper, (He's kind of like my grandpa and I love him. He's also taught me almost everything I know about magical creatures and he gives the best hugs.)

"Ginny Potter as the Quidditch Coach, (My mom the ex-pro player. She said she came here because with every member of her family at Hogwarts or out of the house, she would be completely alone.)

"And Harry Potter as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. (And of course, my father. About 6 years ago, he stepped down from being the Head Auror at the Ministry of Magic to teach at Hogwarts. He never told us why, just that he needed to do it.)"

After naming the rest of the teachers and staff, McGonagall concludes her speech.

"Now you may enjoy your meal." McGonagall claps twice and a glorious feast of the most amazing foods ever appears on the tables. We all launch into it, grabbing and chewing as much as possible like stray dogs; or mangy bears in Merida's case. By the time we all finish eating and it's time to start heading off to bed, I'm bouncing in my seat in anticipation of finally getting to go to bed. It's been a long day and I am so ready for sleep. I sigh as I realize tomorrow will be a busy day as well. McGonagall stands and speaks a few more necessary beginning of term words, then finally she utters the long awaited ending.

"The Welcoming Ceremony is finished. You are dismissed." Everyone stands in unison as bench chairs scrape against the floor. Chatter fills the room. My friends and I body check our way to each other and say goodnight, then we all leave for our respective dormitories.

I skip happily over to my bed and proceed to immediately pass out face first into the pillows without even changing out of my robes. Deep in my subconscious, I begin to wonder what's going to happen this coming year. But no matter what happens, I have a really good feeling that this is going to be the best year ever.

Salathi's Notes: The first three chapters were all written together as a single piece that told the story of Elsa's and Anna's first meeting together. And are broken into this one, which is just a introduction of the first day day back at Hogwarts for the students. The next chapter is Elsa's and Anna's first time seeing each other. And the third has a little excitement mixed in ;).

Azaria's Notes: Yes we did like 12 k words in one day… and I made him split it up. Sorry! This chapter is more introduction than anything, but next one, Elsa and Anna meet so that should be fun. Excitement Sal? More like DANGER! Well, clumsy danger, but thats still really… dangerous. Also, if you're having trouble picturing Sven as a reindeer dragon, just google it. That should help.

Closing Notes: Hey there, just a little info. We will be updating this every monday until it is finished. Both Azaria and I have a busy life right now so we set this schedule both to give you guys reasonably short waiting time between chapters as well as we hope, enough time to us, to in fact get at least one chapter done a week. We have three finished and ready to be published right at this moment, so we have come cushion time. Please remember to review and follow it is a huge encouragement to both of us. Any question you have pertaining to Anna's past, family, personality etc Azaria will answer at each new chapter release, while I will handle each one pertaining to Elsa. Any other question about literally ANYTHING else will get at least a response form one of us if not both. We plan for this to be a very detailed world and asking us questions about things you would like to know will probably bring ideas we can incorporate we wouldn't normally!
