*Rapunzel's POV*

As we stepped off the train a loud voice boomed, "All first years, follow me!" We all turned to see a very tall, very hairy wizard.

"Hagrid!" a quirky voice said the large man's name. Then I realized that voice belonged to Hiccup.

"Well if it isn't little ol' Hiccup," Hagrid grins shining his flashlight on Hiccup. He turned around and started walking as we all followed. As we were walking the three of us turn to face Hiccup who was looking through his bag, he looked up he noticing us staring at him. "What?"

"You two know each other?" I question.

"Yeah," he nodded. Then he closed his bag and smiled. "Him and my mom were really close, as close as he was to Harry Potter. When my mom had died he came to her funeral and that's how we met."

"Wow I'm so-" Jack had been cut off by Hagrid yelling out to all of us. "Ok everybody 3 people per boat." We then all realized that there were boats in front of us. Before we could even do anything 2 boys ran down, grabbed Hiccup and pulled him to one of the boats.

"Snotlout! Tuff! LET GO OF ME!" he yelled as he was seated in one of the boats. The other two boys with him were laughing more and more as he got madder and madder. I turned to look at Jack and Merida.

"Want to share a boat," I smile. They both shrugged so we walked to the boat next to Hiccup's and sat down. When he noticed us he turned and glared. As we sat there more students piled into the boats, Hagrid had a boat to himself. Once we were all seated the boats started to move on their own.

As we got closer to Hogwarts everyone started getting quiet and staring up in amazement, including jack, Merida, and myself. Without realizing how close we were the boats stopped with a jolt. "Ok. Everyone follow me!" yelled Hagrid.

*Merida's POV*

We were walking up step's now and Hiccup was now walking with us again, but being tormented by the boy's he called Snotlout and Tuff? As we walked up we saw a guy standing at the top of the stairs. "I will leave them to you now Neville."

"Thank you Hagrid. I will see you in the Great Hall," Professor Neville says. Once Hagrid was gone he looked at all of us. "I am Professor Longbottom. Welcome to Hogwarts. All the other students are at the start-of-term banquet in the Great Hall, you will not be joining them until after you have been sorted in to one of the four houses; the four houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

"Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you're at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rule-breaking will lose House points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points is awarded the House cup," Professor Longbottom finishes.

After he finished a hand had shot up next to us and we all turned to look as Professor Longbottom nodded his head at the boy. "Is the sorting ceremony scary," the boy asked.

Professor Longbottom just chuckled. "The Sorting Ceremony is nothing to be afraid of. We'll begin shortly, I'll return when we're ready for you." With that he left through a door, other than the giant ones in front of us.

"The Sorting Ceremony is about to begin if you will all follow me," Professor Longbottom said as he returned in front of us. He turned around and started to walk. While we all followed him.

As we walked toward the giant doors, they began to open and we all walked in. We paced between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables and stopped in front of the stage, type thing. I turned to Rapunzel and whispered, "Do ye think the four o' us will get into the same house?"

"I don't know but that would be awesome if we did," she whispered back.

I noticed there was a stool in the middle of the stage with an old hat sitting atop it. "As I call your name's you will come up here, sit down, I will place the hat on your head and you will be sorted into one of the four houses," he explains as he unrolls a scroll, that I'm pretty sure has all our names on it. "Astrid Hofferson."

Once the name was called a girl with blond hair that was pulled up into a tight braid behind her, stepped up and sat on the stool. Professor Longbottom placed the hat on her head, then as if it were alive a mouth like thing opened. "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled.

A wave of cheers and whistles came from the Gryffindor table. After the hat was taken off, she got up and went and sat down at the table. "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock |||." The three of us turned to look at Hiccup as he took in a deep breath, walked up and sat down on the stool. When the hat was placed on his head it didn't give an answer right away unlike it did for the Astrid girl. "Hm~. Tricky, very tricky," it spoke. The three of us watched Hiccup as the old hat tried to decide. "I'd have to say, HUFFLEPUFF!" Cheering came from the Hufflepuff table as Hiccup walked over and sat down at the table. He looked up at the three of us with sad eyes; all I could do was smile to him. "Jamie Bennett."

Jamie was put in Hufflepuff with Hiccup and after that it went Snotlout who was put in Slytherin, along with a pair of twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut who were put in Gryffindor. "Rapunzel Corona." I gave her a reassuring smile as she walked up and sat in the chair. "Another tricky one, eh." Rapunzel looked terrified. "I'm going to say RAVENCLAW!" It was kind of disappointing, knowing we wouldn't all get to be in the same house; you could tell that's what Rapunzel felt as she walked over to her cheering table.

"Jack Overland Frost." Jack walked up and I was left all alone in the crowd of first years. Once the hat was on his head, it said, "I think you will do well in hm~ SLYTHERIN!" He walked over and sat at the table I watched as Snotlout slapped him on the back once he was seated. After Jack a boy named Fishlegs; weird name, was called and he was put in Ravenclaw with Rapunzel. "Merida Dunbroch." As I walked up I could feel all eyes were on me. I took a deep breath and sat down on the stool. Professor Longbottom had to fight to get the hat over my giant hair but once it was on it spoke, "You are brave, very brave I think you belong in GRYFFINDOR!" As I started walking towards my table I looked at my three friends faces, they were broken just like mine was.

The four friends separated into the four houses. Not being able to be with one another what will these four do now?

PLEASE R&R!
