Alec:
"Where are we?" Alec asked confused. Magnus had insisted they portal to god knows where with Jace, Clary, Ty, and Kit. This man named Hagrid had taken Ty and Kit to his hut to show Ty animals. Kit had insisted on following. Now, the rest of them stood in a giant dining room with four tables decorated with various colors and animals.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," an old man with an impressive white beard announced. "Magnus. It is nice to see you again," the man said.
"Who is he?" Alec asked trying to contain his jealousy.
"Albus Wolfric Bry-"
"Dumbledore. Your name is Dumbledore, there is no need to say your full name every time you enter a room. We've talked about this," Magnus cut Dumbledore off curtly wiggling his finger in front of him. A steady stream of glitter fell from his recently painted glittery nails.
"Fine. We will just get right into sorting." Dumbledore placed a hat on Clary and Jace's head that promptly screamed "GRYFFINDOR," and the two had been led off by a weird black haired boy with a lightning bolt across his face and a ginger eating what appeared to be everything. A brown curly haired girl stayed behind talking to Magnus.
"After Alec is sorted I will go to the Slytherin common room to talk to him. Baz is always ridiculous and tends to grumble about everything." Alec overheard Magnus telling the curly haired woman.
"Baz? Sorted?" Alec asked even more confused.
"Baz is a moody vampire and Slytherin is my house. We are sorted into houses. Ravenclaw, for the intelligent. Gryffindor, for the brave. Slytherin, for the cunning. Hufflepuff, for well, Hufflepuff is for the rest and it is the best." Magnus rhymed.
"HUFFLEPUFF" the hat screamed, barely ruffling Alec's hair.
"I knew it!" Magnus exclaimed, kissing Alexander on the cheek.
"I'm the rest?" Alec asked indignant.
"You're the loyal sweetheart. Say hi to Simon and Newt for me. I told them there was a 99.9% chance they'd see you." Magnus kissed Alec again on the cheek before being rushed to the Slytherin common room by the brown-haired girl.
"There's no need to be introduced to Simon. I'm right here. I'm Simon Snow," a blue-eyed thick blonde haired boy slightly younger than Alec waved to him. He was smiling warmly next to a dark-skinned woman with flaming blue hair.
"Ravenclaw pride," she responded to Alec's unanswered question. "I'm Penelope Bunce."
"I'll meet you in twenty minutes. After you show Alexander to his room," Penelope told Simon.
"No one can call him Alexander but me and occasionally his parents when they're angry!" Magnus's voice echoed through the dining room, his head popping through a chamber that led to the basement. A black-haired vampire scowled next to him at Simon.
"Let's go. Baz is always plotting." Simon Snow led Alec to Magnus and Baz. Baz ignored them while Magnus waved enthusiastically at his boyfriend.
"This is Baz. Simon's roommate. I found him lurking in a chamber. As he tends to do. Usually people in the same houses room together but alas, we are just characters in novels turned into characters in fanfiction so sometimes nothing makes sense. Personally, I don't care as long as we are together." Magnus winked at Alec causing him to blush.
"Wait, we are book characters?" Simon Snow asked amazed.
"Obviously. You're as thick as usual Snow." Baz scowled.
"If I'm a book character who do I end up with?" Simon asked nervously.
"Idiot," Magnus and Baz whispered together rolling their eyes.
"Oh. Agatha, right of course." Simon sounded unconvinced that his soulmate was whoever this Agatha was. Alec was having difficulty caring.
Simon:
"This is Newt!" Simon exclaimed. They were sitting in a plant covered room with stairs leading up toward various rooms. Roommates were selected by being pulled to someone destined to be your roommate. Most of the time they belonged to the same house but in the case of SnowBaz as Alec called them there were exceptions. Magnus and Alec were another exception. Something that made Magnus gleeful and made Alec's heart race. He thought it was obvious Jace would be his roommate but Jace was paired with Simon Lewis to Jace's disgust while Clary and Isabelle were roomed together to their delight.
Alec noticed Newt rarely made eye contact with humans. He was immersed in taking care of a hurt owl on his lap. He seemed particularly stressed as he couldn't stop fidgeting.
"What's wrong?" Simon asked through bites of his fifth scone.
Of everyone they had met Alec seemed to think of Newt as his favorite. When he arrived in the common room Newt promptly gave Alec a bowtruckle to take care of and a monkey like creature to watch. The creature itself was watching a teacup intently.
"What do I do with this?" Alec asked pointing toward the bowtruckle who had curled up on his lap sleeping.
"Take care of it. My suitcase is rather…chaotic…so he is yours," Newt said.
"Chaotic?" Simon asked warmly while continuing to eat his scone.
"Well, somehow someone slipped pixie dust into it and it has caused the animals to go a bit crazy," Newt sounded worried and anxious. His reddish-brown hair fell into his eyes as he shook his head in grief.
"We can help. Alec and me. I can get Penelope and Agatha to join us," Simon suggested.
"There are hundreds of animals inside. We'd need more help than that." Newt sounded heartbroken and refused to meet their gaze.
"I can get Magnus, Jace, and Isabelle, Clary, and Simon to help," Alec suggested. "Plus, Ty knows a lot about animals. He'd want to come which then means Kit will come."
"Send an owl." Newt sounded excited and hopeful. He retrieved an owl from his suitcase making Alec gasp. Simon offered the owl part of his sixth scone. The owl ate the crumbs and affectionally nibbled at Simon's fingers.
"I'm confused." Alec stared at the owl he was being handed.
"Cell's don't work. Write your message and send it to Magnus and Jace," Newt explained.
Magnus:
"So, you opened a jar of pixie dust into Newt's suitcase thinking it was Simon's?" Magnus asked Baz.
"Don't sound so offended. You traded Jace for Alec when he was under arrest." Baz shot back defensively.
"I did kind of hope Jace wouldn't return as that would mean Alec would just have to live with me. Sadly, Jace disappointed me," Magnus admitted. Magnus's cat eyes were the only thing visible in the dark. Baz could easily cast a spell to lighten the corridor but he didn't want Magnus to see he was upset.
"Anyways, I dropped the antidote in with it. You know how my dad gets and my aunt is insane. If they thought I wasn't trying to hurt Snow they'd go ballistic. It was that or hex him. How was I supposed to know in his spare time Snow babysits Newt's suitcase of hundreds of animals?"
An owl interrupted their conversation. A note in Alec's handwriting urged Magnus to help him cure Newt's animals. Magnus's heart fluttered. Alec was many things but consciousness and caring were at the top of those lists. Perhaps, he could convince Alec to share a tent with him if this animal rescue lasted several nights.
"Bat, we are going to fix this. Come with me."
"Baz."
"I don't care. You can convince Rain to share a tent with you and maybe you two will stop fighting long enough for you to admit your love for her," Magnus ordered, grabbing him by the wrist and dragging him with him.
"It's Snow and Simon Snow is a boy." Baz didn't bother denying he was in love with Snow. Snow might be a scone eating, headache inducing, walking bomb, but Baz was hopelessly in love with him.
Isabelle:
"I hate that Simon Lewis is in Ravenclaw," Isabelle pouted. Clary and Jace had started a fire while their three tour guides: Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat next to them.
"It is actually quite easy to get into other common rooms if you are smart enough," Hermione offered.
"How would you know?" Ron asked shocked. Hermione blushed and muttered something about having to knit socks before hiding behind a book about knitting.
"So, is there always so much romantic tension between you two or is that new? And I know I'm stunning so feel free to enjoy the view," Jace asked Hermione and Ron. Both turned a bright red and stuttered a non-comprehensible response.
"Jace, play nice," Clary ordered.
"I'm always nice. Ask Alec."
"Alec always takes your side. That's not a fair person to ask and we both know that isn't true," Isabelle responded.
An owl dropped in through a window and landed on Jace. Jace seemed unsurprised while Clary and Isabelle screamed in shock.
"Alec needs our help. We need to jump into a suitcase and save animals," Jace sounded thrilled by every word of the sentence. "I hope there aren't ducks."
"If animals are endangered we should help," Hermione stood. Harry and Ron followed suit. Jace shrugged seemingly unconcerned about their increasing numbers.
"This better be a big suitcase," Isabelle said to herself.
Ty:
"RAVENCLAW," the hat shouted. Ty was confused as to why Penelope tracked him down and sorted him but she seemed to be overjoyed they were in the same house.
You belong in Gryffindor the hat's voice rattled through Kit's mind.
Put me in Ravenclaw. Kit begged.
"RAVENCLAW," the hat screamed. Penelope looked surprised at this but didn't question it. Kit and Ty would also be roommates. Ty was nervous. He had always had a room to himself because of how he liked to make sure everything was organized a specific way. Kit was nervous for Ty, he didn't want to stress him out.
"Before you two set up your rooms there is something we have to do first. It does involve saving animals," Penelope said.
Ty glowed at this and promptly agreed to help however they could. Kit didn't bother listing the risks to Ty, where animals were in endanger Ty could be found.
Alec:
"My dearest brother. This map seems to say you're up to no good. It is 2:00 AM and you are meeting in the kitchen. Please explain yourselves," Fred said. His twin brother was at his side.
"Why did we meet in the kitchen? It is a stupid place to meet." Baz sighed angry they were caught. The remnants of the DA stood next to Ginny: Cho, Neville, Tina, Queenie, Luna, and Seamus. Queenie and Tina had followed Newt to Hogwarts after he spent a year studying abroad in America.
"I wanted scones and Hermione wanted to deliver socks," Simon Snow stuttered out embarrassed he was responsible for them being caught.
A whirl of air erupted before them and a dark-haired boy flanked by a blonde to the point of white haired even taller boy stood before them.
"No time to explain. I'm Albus and this is Scorpius. We are here to help," Albus said.
"Hmm, as great as it would be to ignore two people erupting into the kitchen I feel as if you two must in fact explain," Magnus replied snapping his fingers at the blonde-hair boy who looked startled.
"He looks like a Malfoy," Harry said suspiciously pointing at Scorpius.
"Okay dad, we fight about this a lot in the future. I'm your kid and this is the best person in the world and if you accept that now it will free a lot of your time in the future that you spend arguing with me about the Malfoys," Albus screamed.
"Wait you're his dad?" Hermione asked Harry.
"Time turner," Scorpius added, showing them their watch.
"We could just go back and stop Baz from dropping the pixie dust?" Alec suggested.
"We just tried that and it didn't exactly work." Scorpius blushed a deep red as he explained he had tried to disarm Baz but accidently disarmed Albus who then hit Baz making him drop the pixie dust.
"So, it's not even my fault anymore," Baz said delighted.
"Totally your fault," Simon Snow retorted.
"True," Baz admitted.
"It's fine. We don't have time to argue about this. Some of you can guard the suitcase while we go after the animals. The more people the faster this will go. Just jump in." Newt led the way into his suitcase which stood open on the floor.
"Cho, Neville, Agatha, Luna, Simon Lewis, Isabelle, Ginny, and Seamus guard the suitcase," Harry ordered as he, Hermione, and Ron followed Newt in.
Penelope, Baz, and Simon followed. Kit and Ty soon followed while Jace, Clary, Magnus, and Alec entered last.
"Finally!" A round older man slammed the suitcase shut behind them.
"Jacob!" Queenie grabbed the man and kissed him.
"It has been utter chaos in here. The animals have gone crazy." Jacob shook his head in disbelief as a niffler grabbed his watch and ran into the world that was hidden in the suitcase. Every time of environment stood before them. It was beautiful.
"There should be an antidote somewhere in here," Baz said.
"It would be best to split up and look for it in teams of two," Jace suggested.
After a few minutes of rearranging themselves the teams were set: Jace and Clary, Alec and Magnus, Kit and Ty, Ron and Hermione, Albus and Scorpius, Jacob and Queenie, Tina and Newt, the Weasley twins, Harry and Penelope, and Simon and Baz. Penelope had refused to be Simon's partner and shoved him into Baz, causing a wave of magic to erupt from Simon knocking everyone to the ground.
"Well. Let's get to it," Newt wondered into a thick forest with Tina running after him.
