They got their wish for a dungeon as soon as they stepped foot in the Entrance Hall. They were all four together and everyone had vanished except for Cassie and Cy.
"What's going on?" Cassie demanded.
"Calm down." Evan told her. "We'll explain everything but for now press yes." They gave him confused looks. "Team Invite!"
The twins shrugged and pressed yes. They of course now had everything everyone else had. They were quickly caught up.
"I sense Fairy Magic in these two." Ida said, "The Girl carries Ice Magic and the Boy Electric magic."
"Really we had to go through a dungeon to learn all that and they don't?" Tom laughed, he got an elbow in the rib for his trouble. "Sorry."
Hogwarts Quest.
Objective : Undo the spells on the sorting hat.
Reward: Renown with Hogwarts!
"Okay." Evan blinked, "That's odd."
"To say the least." Hermione agreed.
Six paths suddenly lit up.
"Looks like we each go a different way." Luna said, "Keep in contact..."
Restriction: The only magic you are to use is what you learn in this dungeon and your Fairy abilities.
"We're each on our own." Tom cursed, his flames were ready to burn the school down. "meet as soon as you can."
"Right." Everyone said.
They each chose and path and began running it.
"my path leads to the library!" Evan told the others.
"Good." came Cy's voice. "I need a book on Wards!"
"We all do." Luna said, "I can't open the door to this room without it."
"Same here."
"Okay I'll see what i can find...crap it's a quest!"
"Good luck." Hermione cried, "I don't like this place!"
The quest was simple or simply put. Find the ward book and don't touch any other book.
"How am I supposed to do that?" Evan yelled, " I can't use Abilities!"
Suddenly, his vision told him Spot and Observe had activated.
'Guys! We can use Passive abilities!"
"What do you mean?" Tom questioned he was standing in the dungeons. "It said..."
"I know but Spot and Observe just triggered and I'm not getting in trouble. "
"That's great." Hermione cheered, "Please hurry!"
Evan ran up and down aisles looking . This place seemed bigger than he remembered. Suddenly he saw a book way up on a shelf glowing.
"Ida, fly up there and see the title."
"Right." Ida took flight from her place on his shoulder and flew up. "It says "A beginners Guide to Dismantling Wards." "
"That's what we need. " Evan said, "Stay here, I've got and idea.."
Ida watched her wizard run off and return with a plant they'd seen on the librarian's desk.
"What are you going to do?" Ida asked flying down.
Evan put his hand on the soil connecting with the roots.
"Please, lend me you strength." he asked the plant. "Vines grow." The vines began growing . He directed them to the book "Wrap around the book." They did. "Now come back." They began to retract. This was taking a long time but time wouldn't move and he didn't want to hurt the plant or loose the book. "Almost there just a little more. " He caught the book with his free hand it vanished telling them they'd learned about wards. "Thank you." He told the plant and carried it back to the desk. "I hope my power helps you grow big and strong. " Ida was beaming at him once again on his shoulder. "I thought that might work. "
"Great job." Cassie's voice cut into all their heads. "Now find me a book with a spell! "
"What kind of spell?" Evan asked, "Well, I don't really know things are flying all over the place in this room."
"You got in?' Cy asked, "I'm still trying."
The others agreed with him.
"Well, Apparently I'm good at it." Cassie snapped "What am I supposed to do?"
"Use your Fairy magic." Ida told her. They were shocked she could talk to them like this. " You have Ice Magic. You Freeze them."
"How?"
"I will help you." Luna said, "Do as I instruct."
Find a book on shields.
"Shields?" Evan blinked. "Oh, no one of the others is in trouble! But they can shield... Cassie and Cy can't !"
He was off running again looking everywhere. He found what he was looking for on a low shelf this time and grabbed it.
Learned Protego.
Books suddenly began flying at Evan. Evan backed away throwing up his Earth Shield screw Protego it didn't cover from all sides either.
"Evan , I need a book!" Hermione called.
" A little busy here!" Evan screamed back running. "Earth Shield! Earth Shield!"
"What's wrong?!" Tom demanded. "EVAN!"
"I'm fine." Evan called, back. "Really , I am I'm just being attacked by books and can't take damage. "
They all heard a loud scream echo through out the school it was female and it was Cassie.
"CASSIE!"
"I'm okay." Cassie answered after several minutes. "I just didn't freeze fast enough and died."
"WHAT?!"
"I reappeared in front of the Warded door I'm going back in."
"Becarful!"
Evan had survived the Books and was now searching for the book Hermione needed a locking charm.
He found a book but it was out of his reach. Just barley.
"Raise the ground up." Ida told him.
"Good idea." Evan pictured the ground he was standing on raising him up on a platform. His stomach dropped as the ground shook and did just that. He grabbed he book .
'it's called "The Simplest Locking Charm." " He told them " It's Sero!"
You have learned the Locking Charm Sero.
You have unlocked: Mastering
Every spell you learn you must practice. You will see % as you do. To master a spell say the spell over and over with out magic or wand. Then practice wand movement then both together . You can only move on from each step if you get 100% this will be how Hogwarts teaches.
"That's a good concept." Hermione said. "But really annoying!"
"You're preaching to the Choir , Sister." Cy told her. "Sero. Sero..."
Evan agreed. He was suddenly dropping on to his butt.
"Guess, I've got a limit on that. "
Ida giggled.
"You lost focus. " she told him.
"Yeah, I guess i did."
Evan felt useless. He'd been running from one end of the library to the other fetching books and defending himself from attacks. He could now raise a shield of four walls around him and get a boost to the top shelf in the Restricted Section which they could access because of all the ward books and spells they had learned.
His path finally lead out of the Library and to the others.
Six of you cast at once will open the doors to the Hall and free the hat when cast.
They got into the hall and ran to the hat on the stool. They surrounded it and each began a different spell. As soon as the spells were removed they were out of the dungeon and back at the doors to the Entrance Hall with everyone else.
"I will grant you your placement of the wards."
They all kept from jumping. Hogwarts had talked to them. They quickly placed the wards around the school.
I will need your help at some point and you mine. Call on me.
Congratulations. You've unlocked Merlin House.
You are now Rep : 13 Oh them yeah.
All you skills, abilities and powers that you will learn in school as a first year are reset to 0! Classes will appear as dungeons but only you will know the difference. The teachers are not players. Mastering will include all students.
This way Hogwarts will be the very best.
Evan gave the others headaches with his cursing everything they had had dropped to 0 again. Though their stats stayed the same. Along with their Summoning and a few other things.
They were lead into the Great Hall and were told about Merlin House. Hermione and Cassie had unlocked that side of the Castle it had been long abandoned. She then told them Everyone would be resorted starting with the eldest and going to the youngest. A fifth table had appeared in the room.
"I'll be in Merlin House for sure." Draco bragged, "Why wouldn't it choose me?"
Evan frowned he didn't want Draco in Merlin House because he just knew that's where he was going.
Hermione did the math.
"If we are 5 starting our First year..." She said, parents were lining the walls until their children were sorted. "and we come of age at 17 then there are 13 years here at Hogwarts. "
"Yep." Evan said, holding Tom's hand. "Here's hoping we're all in the same house. "
"Of course we will be." Cy scoffed. "Here, Dracky poo." he hissed, "Just a little closer." Draco yelped loudly as Cy shocked him.
" !" Minerva scolded. "KEEP SILENT!"
The Legends cracked up in silent laughter and all hit Cy on his back. Hermione shyly took his hand. Cy smiled at her.
"13th years first." Minerva called, "Good Merlin, 13 years. How unlucky."
That got laughs around the hall. The Headmistress blushed not realizing she'd said it outloud.
"Well, yes." she said clearing her throat. "The list has become random so it's not alphabetical. Lily Prince will read off the names . "
Lily began reading and putting the hat on. Kids were rushing to the tables left and right. It looked like Merlin was going to even out the number of people in each house even though it was the odd house out. Finally, Lily looked up.
"We will start with the 12th years now."
Finally, finally,
"Now our first years!" Lily called, looking at the group before her. " Ronald Weasley."
Ron walked forward pompously.
"Gryffindor!"
All the Weasleys had gone to Gryffindor except the twins who were in Merlin. They were getting glared at by their mother and Percy and now Ron.
"Draco Malfoy!"
Draco strutted forward.
"Slytherin!"
Draco looked murderous as he strutted over to the Slytherin table head held high.
"Orion Black."
Orion went forward and sat he looked nervous.
"Gryffindor!"
He ran to the table.
"James Potter."
"Gryffindor!"
Jamie joined Orion both grinning and keeping a distance from Ron
More and More names were called until only seven were left.
"Dudley Dursely."
Dudley waddled forward and sat on the stool. The hat covered his head.
"Hufflepuff!"
Dudley handed the hat back and went to the cheering table.
Lily frowned at the list.
"The Legends!" They all came forward holding hands. She smiled brightly at them. "Okay, then. "
"Oh, I've heard about them." Several people whispered. Whispers were spreading through the school quickly.
"Cassiopeia LeStrange."
Cassie sat down.
"MERLIN!"
"Cygnus LeStrange."
MERLIN"
"Hermione Granger"
"MERLIN!"
"Luna Lovegood."
"MERLIN!"
"Thomas Riddle."
"MERLIN!"
"And finally." Lily was suddenly holding Evan out for the whole school to see. "My sweet baby Evan! Look he finally learned to wear boy's clothes! Isn't he adorable?!"
She was then hugging Evan and cooing over him.
"LILY!" Minerva scolded. "You are embarrassing the boy! Sort him!"
Lily pouted but set Evan on the stool and put the hat on him.
"MERLIN."
"Mommy's so proud of you!" Evan was in Lily's arms again.
"LILY!" it was Severus this time.
"Yes, alright." she snapped back. She set Evan with his friends. "One thing..." they looked at her she suddenly had a camera. "Say cheese."
They smiled and were allowed to go to the cheering table. Their parents quickly joined them.
"That was not worth it." Evan pouted. "Why do parents always have to embarrass us?"
"It's a big thing for your child to go off to Hogwarts." Bella told him from across the table. "Every parent wishes to be there for the Sorting and everything. How does this muggle camera work!"
Hermione leaned over Cy and taught her quickly .
"Oh, thank you. " Bella nodded, "I can take pictures but couldnt retrieve them and I got this because it said you could."
Tom Sr . was watching in interest that Tom and Evan were once again holding hands. He would be speaking to his son about it.
"Did you see the look on Dracky Poos face?" Cassie was laughing as the food appeared. "He was so pissed he didn't get into Merlin House."
"Who wants him?" Luna asked, "I honestly don't like him. "
"I don't think any of us do." Cy told her. "Chicken?'
"Oh, yes, please." Hermione said, "Salad?"
"Don't mind if I do."
"I liked the look on his face when Cy shocked him." Evan said, brightly, "Pass the fruit please."
"You did that?" Rudolphus asked, "How?"
"My fairy power." Cy said, "Ida taught me how to waken it. " he held his hand up electricity ran between his fingers. "Electric ."
"I am very proud of you or doing that to you cousin, son." Rudolphus replied, Cy smirked, "He needed put in his place. Cassie, dear what element did you get?"
"Ice." She replied, she caught sight of Draco and held her hand out. A burst of blue/White light shot from her hand and froze his drink. It didn't travel out of her hand but had frozen the pumpkin juice to slush which Draco then dumped down the front of him. Making the Slytherin's laugh.
"Oh, Cassie you're great." Evan laughed, high fiveing her. "Now don't get upset, Ida, we are just kids and he's mean."
"I didn't say a word. " she was sitting on the fruit bowl nibbling on a cut up apple diced extra small for her. "Even we fairies play pranks to learn control. "
"Your turn , Luna." Cassie hissed. "He's going for his water. "
Luna moved her hand like a wave . A burst of blue light shot through her fingers and suddenly the water was splashing all over Draco's face. By this time the whole Hall was roaring with laughter.
"Hermione?"
"Together, Tom?" Hermione asked, nodding to a candle behind Draco.
"My pleasure." Tom said, he focused. "Wait for it." She nodded. He focused willing the flame to burn brightly. A Red/Orange light shot through his fingers. His hand was laying on the table. "Now!"
Hermione pictured the wind carrying the fire. White light shot through her fingers on the table and the candle fell right on Draco's hat.
Draco was up and screaming running around.
"Evan."
Evan smirked as the Earth trembled and shot up sending Draco flying onto the Slytherin table. Green light had shot through his fingers. Draco was now covered in food and the hall was almost shaking with laughter. Lucius did not look happy. Narcissa looked over at them pleadingly.
Gained Renown Level 1 with Weasley Twins!
Gained Renown Level 1 with Marauders!
"In retrospect i should have seen that coming." Evan mumbled. Tom glanced at him but he shook his head nodding to the twin red head third years suddenly at their sides.
"That was amazing!" they chorused. "We are Fred and George Weasley and are we ever happy to meet you six! The name Legends certainly suits you."
"Thanks." Cassie said, "I'm Cassie, This is my twin, Cy, that's Hermione. " she motioned to each of them. "Next to you is Luna, Then Evan and Tom and that small thing is our Fairy guide Ida."
"Hello, devils." Ida said, "It's nice to meet you."
"Devils?" They asked,
"I agree." Luna sing songed , "Fairy's are known for their Sight as are Water Users. You two will make this place crumble. " The two red heads grinned at each other. "You'll also meet your idles."
"We'd love that." they cheered. "The Marauders!"
Dinner continued as soon as Draco was dragged off the table and subjected to cleaning charms.
