They had stood on the dais overlooking the hall. Their entrance had been faintly terrifying. A sea of black robes covered heads and faces hidden deep within hoods, thought they had exulted an air of sophistication and elegance as well as fear and an aura of mystical advanced magic. They all knew this school was the reason that the betting pools were in uproar, the students were just such enigmas.

They entry requirements for the school were so extreme ands exclusive, the schools existence might be infamous, but it was very rare to meet an actual student or graduate unless you move in their academic circles. You could possibly meet a relative of a student but the schools extensive list of extracurricular activity meant you would be lucky to ever meet the student themselves. They school also very rarely took siblings.

That made Al Rosie and Scor unusual at Excalibur. They were basically the only siblings the school currently had. What made them more unusual was upon their arrival at Hogwarts they roamed the corridors and classrooms with their hoods permanently attached to their heads, white wires running into their hoods. Due to the duelling contest their names had been entered by their deputy head before they arrived, so they had avoided any official functions which would have involved them dressing without their hoodies.

They were having too much fun scaring everybody.

Tonight was the night. The whole school was on edge.

The champions were being announced tonight.

They were just about to announce the Hogwarts champion when the three wondered in late to the feast.

"The champion for Hogwarts is...when you three have takes your seats" the three wondered to their seats at the end of the Gryffindor table "the Hogwarts champion is Alice Longbottom"

The table erupted into screams around them

"ALICE! ALICE! ALICE!"

"GO LONGBOTTOM, GO LONGBOTTOM"

"GRYFFINDOR! GRIFFINDOR!"

"BLOODY HELL" Neville dropped his head into his hands

Harry turned to Ginny "why is it always one of our group's kids"

Alice meets the headmistress and was directed to stand by the other champions. All they had left to announce was the Excalibur champion.

"The champion for Excalibur College is...Al Potts." Clapping ensued but nobody got up from the end of Gryffindor table "Potts, the Excalibur champion is Al Potts"

"Huh"

One of the hooded students turned from the device in her hands.

'A girl from the voice' harry thought as he considered the students who were looking to be his biggest security hassle 'and some of Georges kids are still running around the place. How did she get her I-Pod to work here, lily was always nagging him to fix hers up for her but that was serious charms work. If that girl could do it maybe he could get out of it by making lily look it up herself. Had that kid not got up yet?'

The headmistress looked at the girl "your Al Potts, your schools champion"

The girl was obviously busy though as she ignored the question, leant over and yanked the ear phones out of another hood.

"What the FUCK! Rosie!"

"Al Potts!"

The Hoody stopped berating the girl and turned to the dais "huh"

"You've been picked as school champion, prat" his head turned back to the girl doing a weird arm movement shrug that obviously showed disbelief as the girl just replied by nodding seriously.

The Hoody stood up and moved to the dais.

"Bloody hell" Harry flicked eyes to Excalibur's head mistress sitting next to Ron further down the table. "Potts put your hood down" the boy made no move to do this. The woman just snapped her fingers and his hood was yanked back off his head; revelling a black haired green eyed boy.

'A younger version of himself'

James looked at the exact replica of his dad as the boy moved to stand next to his girlfriend Alice.

Merlin could this day get any weirder first Ally becomes Hogwarts champion, can't believe I was here to see it, now that guy looks just like dad.

Black hair, green eyes, looks like dad, 17, no way, Al? No way.

Alice turned to look at the boy.

No way! It's not possible!

To boy looked her in the eye "can I help you?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Before she had a chance to reply the boy had moved back to sorting out his IPod.

"Al?"

"Yes?" When Alice just looked at him he shook his head. "Bloody hell! When I thought it couldn't get worse the other champions are morons"

The whole school jumped at his statement. They satin shock as he turned his back to them put his head phones in and pulled his hood up.
