Return to Hogwarts.
The seven Slayers were sitting in their Slaying class at Muse academy, they were listening to their teacher go on about how someone became a Demon and how to spot one; despite the fact they already knew all of this.
"The most common way to become a Demon is to make a pact with a more powerful Demon." Their teacher said. "A powerful Demon will target the weak willed and those not completely sound of mind, this is why they usually target those stricken with grief. The Demon will take advantage of them, telling them that becoming a Demon will make them powerful or that they would no longer have to deal with their problems in life, once the pact is made the transformation will begin. A newly made Demon will begin distancing itself from everyone other than other Demons, then it will begin to start killing and mutilating – it will start with animals and then move to humans – and once it tastes human blood it will change physically. A Demon has scales, horns, fangs and claws, so when these begin to appear a newly formed Demon will go into hiding with other Demons until it learns to hide its aspects. Though, a reflection or shadow can easily give any Demon away."
Mercy came with a knock at the door.
"Come in!" called the teacher.
A female Nyko opened the door.
"I've been sent to tell Harry and Matilda Black that they're needed urgently in the head office." She said.
Harry and Matilda looked over to their friends to see if they knew why they were wanted but got shrugs in reply. So the Black twins gathered up their stuff and left for the head office.
"WE'RE WHAT?" was the loud yell of the Black twins from inside the head office of Muse academy.
The other people inside the room removed their fingers from their ears once they were sure the twins had stopped yelling.
"I'm afraid so." Zoe answered. "Both of you have been chosen by the Goblet of Fire to be in the Tri-Wizard tournament."
"But, how?" Harry asked.
"We know we didn't enter, so that means someone else must have entered us." Matilda said. "Won't those who made the Goblet have put in some sort of fail-safe to prevent something like this happening?"
"They did." Zoe answered. "The contestant has to agree to do the challenge after their name is chosen for the contract to be made, someone managed to use powerful mage to twist that clause so that someone can agree for them, and Dumbledore agreed for both of you."
"I'll murder that manipulative bastard!" Sirius hissed. "I don't care if I end up in Azkaban again for it, I'll make him pay!"
Jenny put a restraining hand on her husband's shoulder.
"Calm down dear, we need to keep level heads about this." Though her voice was calm everyone knew the fury that was hidden underneath.
"So, what now?" Harry asked.
"Unfortunately, both of you will have to go to Hogwarts to compete in the tournament, but we won't be sending you two alone. The Saxtons, Weasleys, Maria and other students will be going with you to represent Muse academy. And after the tournament is over and done with we will finally bring down Dumbledore."
"I'll kill that bastard!" Vida shouted. "I'm going to make the acts of a Demon look like good will in comparison to what I'm going to do to him!"
As you may have guessed the Black twins had told their friends about them being forced to compete in the Tri-Wizard Tournament; they had not taken the news well. Vida was shouting in anger, Aria had left the room to scream in anger, Layla had turned off her radio to prevent the overs from hearing her less than safe thoughts, and the Weasley twins had teleported away to some unknown location to take out their anger.
"Get in line behind mum and dad." Harry said dryly.
"How are you two taking this so calmly?" Aria asked as she entered the room, having finished screaming in anger.
"We did our screaming and swearing before we came here, so we're able to keep level heads for now."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. But as someone once said, make the best out of a bad situation." Matilda said. "Since we're going back to Hogwarts not only will we see our friends early, but we can take out our anger on Dumbledore through our Marauder identies."
"I guess some good can come of this." Vida admitted. "It has been quite a while since we last saw the others; we didn't get to see much of them last summer."
With a large puff of smoke the Weasley twins suddenly appeared.
"Calmed down?" Aria asked.
The twins nodded and sat down.
"So," said George.
"What are we going to do?" continued Fred.
"We go, and when we get there we make Dumbledore's life absolute hell for getting us into this mess." Matilda summarised.
"Good." Said the twins.
The next day the seven Slayers and other Muse academy representatives were standing outside of the front gates, waiting for Maria to pick them up for their journey to Hogwarts.
"I wonder how we're getting there." Aria said.
"Well, we're about to find out." Harry said.
All the academy students looked up as a large shadow was cast above them, it was a large classic style ship covered in dream-dust floating above them.
"All aboard!" Maria called out to the student from her place at the wheel of the ship.
More dream-dust came down from the ship and formed an escalator for the students to use to board the ship, which they did so excitedly. The inside of the ship was much bigger of the inside with first class style rooms for each of the students. After dropping their stuff off in their rooms the students went back to the deck to wave goodbye to the students and teachers who weren't coming with them as the sky-ship set sail.
At Hogwarts Dumbledore was feeling quite pleased for himself, at long last his weapon and his sister were once again going to be within his grasp. As he expected the Death eater impersonating Moody had put Harry's name into the Goblet, it was an added bonus that he also added Matilda's name, and he himself had expended a lot of magic to insure that both of them would have to compete.
Now he just had to work out how to make his weapons do as he wanted. If only the twins' foster mother hadn't met the Saxtons, he knew that if the twins had come blind into the magical world he could have controlled them.
But there was also the matter of the school that the twins were coming with. Dumbledore had been furious when he had returned to Hogwarts to find that the Potter twins had left the school to go to another one out of the reach of his influence. What made it even worse for him was his recent discovery of where the twins had transferred to, the rumoured Muse academy. Up until his discovery of the whereabouts of the Potter twins he, like many others, believed Muse academy to be nothing more than a myth, no school that good could actually exist. But it did exist, a school that freely welcomed those considered the rejects of society alongside their regular students, all Dumbledore could do was hope that the rumour about it being headed by the legacy of Merlin himself remained just a myth.
Dumbledore and many students from all three of the schools waited outside of Hogwarts for the arrival of the Muse academy students.
"What do you think is going to happen when they arrive?" Draco asked Hermione and Neville.
"I'm willing to put money on someone having to be held back from killing Dumbledore." Neville said.
"That goes without saying; the others are protective of each other to the point of violence." Hermione stated. "I'll be surprised if Dumbledore survives the visit without a trip to the hospital."
"I think that's them now." Draco pointed to the sky where the Muse academy sky-ship was approaching.
"Wow." Neville whistled. "Talk about travelling in style."
The other people outside gave their own comments as the sky-ship came to a stop above Hogwarts. Escalators of dream-dust formed between the ship and the ground and the academy students rode them down to the ground. Once all the students were on the ground Maria flew down from the ship and landed in front of them and faced the other head teachers.
"Where's your teacher?" Dumbledore asked in his false grandfatherly voice.
Maria scowled. "I am the teacher." She answered.
"But you are only a little girl!" exclaimed the headmistress of the French school.
"This 'little girl' is over three-hundred years old, in case my flying and looks didn't tip you off I'm not exactly human, I just choose to look this age."
"Well, welcome to Hogwarts my dear girl." Dumbledore said.
Maria scowled again; she drew her sword from her back and pointed it at Dumbledore. "Zip it you old fool, you're on very thin ice as it is for what you have done to my students. If it wouldn't make some unwanted complications I would render your head from your neck this very moment."
Many people watching the display gasped at Maria's actions.
"I have no idea-" Dumbledore tried to say.
"Save it! All of Muse academy knows just how my students ended up in your twisted tournament, and I speak for all when I say the ones responsible will pay the dearest cost."
Maria then flew above everyone's heads so that they could all see her.
"Listen up!" she addressed them all. "My name is Maria Wild, daughter of Edward Wilder and one of the five maiden legacies of the power of Merlin. It is true that many of Muse academy's students are not entirely human, including the ones here today, and I will say that we will not tolerate any prejudice against us. The word of my sisters and I is law, and we say that all sentient beings have rights, and that includes the right to defend ourselves if threatened, so if you attack us we will defend ourselves and each other. We care little for what your ministry has to say, they lost any respect when we had to start taking in the children of this country who were not allowed to go to school or have jobs because they weren't what was considered normal." Maria then turned to Dumbledore. "Now, to discuss my involvement in this tournament, and don't every try to deny me a place."
Maria then went with Dumbledore and the other head teachers to sort out the tournament while her student's either went back up to the ship or talked with the students other the other schools.
"Harry, Matilda!" Draco, Hermione and Neville called their friends over.
"Hey guys." Harry said.
"Why didn't you call our names?" Aria sounded as she, her sisters, and the Weasley twins also came over.
"Sorry." The three apologised.
"We didn't realised you were here." Draco explained.
"How can you not recognised a fox girl, angel, girl covered in tattoos, and twins with horns and tails?" Vida raised her visible eyebrow.
The way the Saxton triplets kept their secret ad changed over the years, they now showed off their Fae featured but still changed their hair and eye coulours to stop Demons recognising them.
"I guess we just expected you all to look different, you know, cover up your Fae features." Hermione explained.
Vida shook her head. "Maria encouraged us not to cover up, to show everyone that we're not ashamed of what we are."
Everyone nodded.
But then an unwanted face appeared to the group of friends.
"Never thought you freaks would be back here." Ron Weasley said to his brothers and the triplets.
The Black twins and Hogwarts trio stepped in front of their Fae friends to prevent them from doing something rash.
"Shut your mouth, Weasel!" Draco said. "Even you should know it's unwise to provoke a Fae."
"And you should be ashamed of yourself, calling your brothers freaks." Hermione scolded.
"They're no brothers of mine; mum would have disowned them ages ago if not for dad." Ron sneered.
The Weasley twins kept their faces indifferent while on the inside they felt despair that their mother wanted to disown them. Aria grabbed Fred's hand while Layla did the same with George.
"You disgust me." Vida said.
Ron looked over to her.
"You claim yourself to be a light wizard yet you happily discriminate against anything that isn't like you, including your own family."
"Calm down, Vee." Aria said to her sister, putting her free hand on her sister's shoulder. "He's not worth it."
Vida was in the process of calming down when she noticed the way Ron stared at Aria, he was obviously taken in my her natural allure, normally Vida would laugh at and pity anyone affected by her sister's allure, but the way Ron looked at her sister like a piece of meat infuriated her.
"Eyes off my sister if you wish to continue being a male." Vida threatened, showing off her very sharp claws.
Ron appeared to get the message and scarpered off.
Vida growled. "Why do I get the feeling that this isn't the last time we'll see him."
