"Ready?" Klaus asked as they were once again surrounding the pensive
"Yep" Iris nodded
"I love the feeling of falling" Caroline commented as Iris grasped onto Klaus's hand
"You're odd" Kol commented earning a glare from the blond vampire
"Ok can we do this?" Alaric snapped wanting to find out the rest of Iris's history
"Yes, let's on the count of three" Elijah said loudly "One, two and three" with that the group all dived into the pensive
Iris stumbled in her low heels when they landed, Klaus easily steadied her
"Where are we?" Elena asked
"Kings Cross Station" Iris answered recognising the place,
"Why-"
"It's the way to get to the school-"
"You guys go by train to a magic school?" Alaric asked his eyebrows shooting his hairline
"Well what did you expect?" Iris asked, Elijah scoured the crowd trying to find little Iris
"Magic carpets" Damon grinned, the raven head rolled her eyes
"There you are" Kol said spotting the raven head
"That man is actually pushing your trolley?" Rebekah questioned seeing little Iris hurrying after her beefy uncle as he pushed her trolley which was holding a trunk and an owl,
"Well there you are girl. Platform nine and ten- your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they hadn't built it" a nasty grin was on the large man's face "have a good term" without another word he and the rest of the Dursleys left, leaving little Iris behind
"They left you on your own?" Stefan asked a scowl on his face
"At least they gave me a ride" Iris muttered,
"Don't' condone what they did" Klaus snarled from behind her,
"I'm not" the raven head snapped back, she looked at her past self and saw that she was beginning to panic
"How'd you get out of this?" Kol asked
"Watch"
They watched the scene and saw little Iris looking around, it was clear that the little girl was trying find someone, the group was on the side-lines watching and witnessed a family of red heads walking past
"packed with muggles of course" the plump woman uttered leading a group of boys and a single girl
"Ah that's how you did it" Rebekah nodded watching little Iris who was studying the family and pushed her trolley after them
"Now what's the platform number?" the woman asked
"Surely she should know?" Elijah frowned "since her children all seem to be going to that school"
"Truth be told I don't know why she asked in the first place" Iris shrugged her shoulders
"Nine and three-quarters" a small red headed girl piped up
"Is that Ginny?" Caroline asked wide eye
"Yep" Iris grinned seeing her friend
"Damn, she was a cutie as well" the blond vampire uttered "Iris isn't she a year younger then you here?"
"Yes?" Iris looked at her "why?"
"Because you still look tiny compared to her" Klaus chuckled, Iris elbowed him and attempted to slip from his grasp but he tugged her back
"All right Percy you go first" the woman instructed, they watched as the oldest boy nodded and pushed through,
"Cruddy luck Iris" Kol commented seeing that the little girl hadn't caught sight of what the boy did since a small crowd had walked pass
"Wait where'd he go?" Alaric frowned noticing that the boy had disappeared
"You'll see" the raven head uttered watching as Mrs Weasley order Fred go next
"Fred you next"
"I'm not Fred I'm George" said the boy "Honestly woman, call yourself our mother? Can't you tell I'm George?"
"He's totally Fred" Stefan shook his head
"Sorry George"
"Only joking I am Fred" and he ran off his brother called after him and followed his twin. And he also disappeared
"Wait are they're going through the walls?" Elena asked seeing the little raven head approaching the woman
"Excuse me" little Iris uttered
"Aw look how polite my Iris is" Klaus smirked tugging her curl
"So total opposite of you" Kol grinned
"Hmm true, but you heard what they say opposites attract" Klaus pecked her cheek
"I thought it be people who are similar who are attracted to one another" Iris smirked "now if that's true, perhaps I'd be better with Elijah-"said original vampire chuckled, "only teasing love" she grinned seeing Klaus's face
"Look here we go" Caroline muttered seeing little Iris talking to the woman
"Hello dear, first time at Hogwarts? Ron's new too" she said pointing at a thin lanky boy, Elijah noted when the little girl had looked at the boy he blushed and looked away
"That's the dick?" Kol scowled "he should be running by the time we've return"
Iris sighed and focused back on the scene watching her past self
"Yes" said little Iris "the think is-the thing is, I don't know how to…" she trailed off
"Look how cute you are being shy" Rebekah drawled watching as the woman finish off little Iris's sentence
"Hot to get on to the platform dear? Not to worry, all you have to do is walk straight through the barrier between the platforms nine and ten, don't stop and don't be scared. Best do it at the run" the woman said, the group watched as little Iris took a deep breath and ran straight into the barrier disappearing
"Wow, so that's how get to a magic school" Caroline uttered
The scene shifted so now that they were standing outside a door with a group of eleven year olds
"Wait, so what happened on the train?" Elena asked
"Not much, I met Ron and talk to him-"
"You spoke to that bastard-"
"Look he was a kid then, plus he wasn't bad or anything" Iris told Klaus
"So what's going on now?" Damon asked as the door was swung open revealing a familiar strict looking woman "McGonagall?"
"Yep, she was deputy head here" Iris told her as they followed the group into a smaller room "and she's going to be explaining what's going on"
"Ah, they all look nervous" Jeremy commented noticing that several of the eleven year olds were shifting and looking around he saw McGonagall open her mouth and started to speak
"Welcome to Hogwarts" said the stern witch "The start of term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The sorting is very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room"
Alaric whistled "that's a lot, so I gathered you spent a lot of time with-"
"My house" Iris smiled shaking her head, Klaus easily spotted the tiny raven head and much to his annoyance she was standing by the boy that he wanted to tear limb from limb
Elijah was interested in what Minerva said next "The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherine, each house has its own noble history and each as produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the years the house with the most points is awarded a house cup-" Damon snorted at that causing Iris to roll her eyes "the sorting ceremony will take place in a few minutes I suggest you smarten yourself up"
"Iris are you actually trying to flatten you hair?" Stefan snorted seeing the small raven head doing so
"What? She was totally looking at me and Neville come to think it" Iris muttered
"How do they sort you into houses?" Elijah questioned
"You'll find out-"but before she could finish her sentence the scene shifted.
They were now in the great hall, Iris could see the others looking around in awe, she didn't blame them she had done the same thing
"This place is cool" Jeremy uttered seeing floating candles
"By having the houses, doesn't it encourage segregation? Rivalry?" Elijah asked seeing that there was four long tables lined up in the hall
"Hmm, that's true, Gryffindor and Slytherine have the worst rivalry" Iris nodded
"Wait is that a hat?" Rebekah asked frowning
"Yep-"Iris answered
"Granger Hermonie" they watched as a bushy haired girl run to the stool
"Isn't she-"
"Was my friend, not anymore" the raven head muttered, Klaus sighed and rested his chin on the top of the head, the bushy haired girl jam the hat on to her head#
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted
"So the hat looks into your mind or something and declares what house you'll be in?" Alaric asked miffed
"Got it right Ric" Iris grinned "it finds qualities of the house in you and puts you in the appropriate place-"
"But can't you have more of one house characteristic?" Stefan asked frowning
"Yeah- the characteristics are, for Gryffindor being brave and courageous, for Slytherine cunning, Hufflepuff are loyal, and for the Ravenclaw are super brainy" the raven head explained and saw Neville going up
"GRYFFINDOR!" the hat declared she smiled fondly seeing the chubby boy trip, she could see the clear difference in him now, no longer was he the shy insecure boy she had once knew now he was brave and attentive.
"Look there's your friend, ergh, he looks terrible with slick back hair" Caroline scrunched her nose up as Draco Malfoy was called, the hat had barely touched his head before it shouted
"SLYTHERINE"
"They look like an unpleasant lot" Damon commented eyeing the table where the platinum blond had gone off to
"This is long" Rebekah rolled her eyes, she just wanted to see Iris's sorting
"Potter Iris-"
"Here we go, aw look how cute you look, utterly adorable-"
"Shut up Kol" Iris slapped his arm, the Original caught her arm and kissed the back of her hand and sent her a wink "you really are a git" she couldn't help but smile
"Look at all the kiddies whispering" Klaus commented, his heightened hearing could pick up everything that was being said. They watched as little Iris walked slowly up to the front and on to the small stage
The group watched as the hat was dropped on Iris's head, it covered her eyes, Alaric saw that the kids were all craning their heads to get a look at her, man he thought he hadn't realised how famous the petite raven head was. Since this was Iris's memory the group could all hear what the hat was saying to her
"Hmm" said a small voice into little Iris's ear "Difficult. Very difficult, plenty of courage I see-"
"Well that's a given after everything you've been through" much to her surprise it was Elena who said this the doppelganger sent her a small smile which, which Iris returned
"Not a bad mine either" they heard the hat "there's talent, oh my goodness, yes- and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting"
"Not Slytherine, not Slytherine" little Iris hissed gripping the edge of the stool
"Why not Slytherine?" Jeremy asked curiously
"Because I only heard bad things about it, plus I'd found out that Voldemort was a Slytherine" Iris told him watching the scene
"Not Slytherine eh?" the hat questioned "are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all there you know? It's all in your head and Slytherine will help you along the way, no? Well it better be GRYFFINDOR" the hat shouted the last word. They saw little Iris jumping off of the stool and running over to the table that was cheering the loudest
"You've got the biggest applause" Damon commented seeing little Iris joining the red and gold table
They watched as a few more names being called and much to the Originals annoyance Ron sat down beside little Iris
"So what you're stuck with him for seven years?" Alaric asked with a frown
"Yes, but remember during then he was my friend" Iris uttered seeing Dumbledore getting on to his feet
"Damn doesn't he look like a stereotypical wizard?" Stefan questioned causing Iris to laugh
"Welcome" they watch the headmaster declare "welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin out banquet I would like to say a few words. And here they are Nitwit, Blubber! Oddment and Tweak, thank you"
"Really?" Kol questioned "No offence sweets but is your headmaster a bit mad?"
Iris snorted at that "Kind of hypocritical coming from you Kol"
"Too true" Rebekah muttered,
"Wow, that's awesome" Jeremy gaped as the food magically appeared on the table "I wish we had that home" Alaric rolled his eyes at the teenage boy
The scene shifted so that they were now standing behind little Iris who was just pushing her meal away
"You hardly touched it" Klaus frowned seeing that
"I was full" the raven head said softly
"Who is that?" Elijah asked noting that a man with swallow skin and an overlarge nose staring at little Iris, and the little girl stared back
But before Iris could respond little Iris slapped a hand over her scar "Oww" the little girl cried out
"What's wrong?" Damon frowned
"What is it?" they saw one of Ron's brothers asked little Iris
"N-nothing" she stammered
"Yeah right I bet it's not nothing" Caroline muttered
"Everything will be explained" Iris said as Klaus tugged her back slightly they all focused back on the scene, Kol saw that the pained expression on the little girl's face had gone
"Who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?"
"Is he the man in the turban?" Elena asked, Iris nodded in reply
"Oh you know Quirrell already do you? No wonder is he looking so nervous, that's Professor Snape. He teaches Potions, but he doesn't want to-everyone knows he's afters Quirrell's job. Knows an awful lot about the Dark Arts, Snape"
"He looks like he hates you already" Jeremy muttered, Iris felt Klaus's hand trailing down her back, she grasped it in her own
"He does"
"Wait why does he hate you? He doesn't even know you" Klaus frowned glaring at the Potions teacher
"It's a long story and-"
"It'll be explained" Rebekah finished off, the raven head sent a smile to the female Original, they saw the puddings began to disappear and Dumbledore got onto his feet
"Ahem- just a few more words now we are all fed and watered-"Damon snorted
"He made you sound like a bunch of horses" the vampire grinned
"I have a few start of term notices to give you. First years should note that the forest in the grounds is forbidden to all pupils-"
"Noting Iris's curious nature and her ability to find trouble, I guarantee that are little Iris finds herself in the forest" Elijah murmured to Klaus glancing down at the raven head in his arms, she was busy watching the scene
"No doubt about it" Klaus smirked at him and paid attention to the headmaster
"I have also been asked my Mr Filch, the caretaker, to remind you that no magic should be used between classes in the corridors-"
"And that will totally go into one ear and out the other" Alaric grinned knowing that these kids were like any other but just had magic, so it ensue more chaos.
"Quidditch trials will be held in the first week of term. Anyone interested in playing for their house they should contact Madam Hooch, and finally I must tell you that this year, the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not to wish to die a very painful death" Dumbledore finished off
"He is joking right?" Klaus asked his jaw clenching, Iris whistled and looked away
"Iris-"
"Really Klaus just watch it" the raven head uttered and once again the scene shifted.
They were now in a damp classroom
"Is this a dungeon?" Caroline questioned looking around; her heightened hearing could pick up the chattering of children
"Yep" Iris nodded "the potions classroom"
"This is where they teach kids?" Alaric asked cocking an eyebrow
"Remember Ric, this is a magic school" the raven head smiled at him her eyes snapped over to the door, it opened allowing the first years in,
Klaus saw Iris taking a seat beside the red headed boy, he looked quiet thoughtful he hadn't missed the slight blush on the boy's cheeks when little Iris spoke to him
Elijah briefly studied the room as the professor entered the classroom and saw floating jars holding god know what.
The man started the roll call and paused at Iris's name, they watched as his onyx eyes met the little girl's emerald orbs
"Ah yes" he said softly "Iris Potter, our new celebrity"
"What the hell?" Damon muttered and saw the small girl's cheeks flushing, "and how the hell do you end up as his friend?" he gestured to Malfoy who was sniggering with his friends
"Believe me it took a while" Iris said watching the scene knowing that Snape would be giving his speech
"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potions making" the teacher began, the group could see that he was able to grab the attention of the class of eleven students without any effort really, "As there is little foolish wand waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understands the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through the human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses…I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death- if you aren't as big bunch as dunderheads as I usually I have to teach"
"Good speech till the end" Kol muttered not liking the way Snape was watching little Iris who was taking notes, literally writing what the man was pratteling on about down.
"Potter"
"Ergh he's going to pick on you" Jeremy frowned seeing the little girl gulping, the man was intimidating that was for sure
"What would I get is I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
"No clue" Stefan muttered seeing clear confusion on Iris's face, he also saw the bushy haired girl raising her hand
"I-I don't know sir" little Iris said
Damon scowled seeing the man's lips turning into a sneer "Tut-tut clearly fame isn't everything"
"What the fuck? He's being totally out of order" Jeremy scowled
"Let's try again, Potter, where would you look of I told you to find me bezoar?" he asked,
"I know this one" Iris smiled seeing her past self's face lighting up, she had spent the previous night reading through her potion books
"In the stomach of a goat sir?" her voice trailed off, Snape's sneer became even more pronounce
"Are you telling me or asking me?" bark the potions professor
"Prick" Damon swore and witnessed the little raven head's eyes welling up
"T-t-telling you-sir"
"Aww" Caroline frowned seeing her little face
"I have no time for sniffling children" Snape snapped, "now let's see if you can do this right, what is the difference Potter, between monkshood and Wolfsbane?"
"Do you know that one?" Elena asked, Iris shook her head watching the scene
"I don't know sir, but I think Hermonie does" the little girl nodded towards the bushy haired child who was practically standing up, a few people laughed and Klaus didn't miss the wink of the boy's gave little Iris
Iris felt his body shaking slightly and looked over his shoulder, she quirked an eyebrow "Really?"
"What I don't like you getting so friendly with other boys" the hybrid hissed, the raven head nervously licked her lips
"Ah, well try and not get too pissed later of then"
"What? Why-"
"Hush dear" Iris waved him off causing the others in the group to snicker
"Remember Klaus, she's a teenage girl and is in a boarding school" Kol smirked "so…"
"Alright let's just watch" Elijah said seeing Iris open her mouth about to retort, they focused back on to the scene
"Sit down" Snape snapped at Hermonie "For your information Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar as you rightly said is from the goat's stomach and it will save you. As for monkshood and Wolfsbane, they are from the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite, well? Why aren't you all copying this down?"
"Erm, because you never told them to" Jeremy rolled his eyes causing Iris to snicker, she looked around and saw her past peers and herself rummaging for quills and parchment over the noise Snape said "And a point will be taken from Gryffindor house for your cheek Potter"
"Eh that's not that bad" Iris mumbled to herself, Klaus nipped her ear
"Clearly your past self doesn't think that" he murmured against the shell of her ear, the little raven head discreetly wiped away a fallen tear
"Back then it felt like the world was ending when you lose house-points" Iris muttered sighing, they watched as the potions professor instructed the group of children to pair up so they could work together
"Poor kid" Alaric wince seeing Neville getting splattered in his potion,
"Now that's a mess" Rebekah drawled seeing the kids clamour on to their stools so they wouldn't be drenched in the acidic potion
"Idiot boy" snarled Snape waving his wand clearing away the mess
"Well that's not going to help anyone" Stefan muttered frowning at the way the Potions professor treated his students "where is he now?"
Iris eyes snapped up to meet his owns, come to think of the vampires thought the raven head hadn't even spoken about him
"You see what happened later" Iris muttered tucking a stray curl behind her ear
"Take him to the hospital wing" he snapped at the boy that had winked at little Iris, the potions professor rounded on little Iris who was only working a desk away
"You Potter-why didn't you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he'd make you look good, if he got it wrong did you? That's another point you've lost for Gryffindor"
"Now that's out of order" Damon snapped and saw little Iris about to say something but the Weasley boy kicked her under the table
"Don't push it, I heard Snape can turn nasty" Ron muttered
"Well at least he did something" Elijah muttered knowing that little Iris would've probably gotten in to more trouble if the boy hadn't stopped he.
The scene shifted
"Where are you two going?" Elena asked as they followed after little Iris and Ron, they were heading towards a hut
"To visit Hagrid" Iris answered, she watched her past self raising her fist and knock on the hut's door, they all could hear a dog barking loudly
"Back Fang, back" the half giant shouted the door opened revealing Hagrid's hairy face
The group followed after little Iris and Ron as the man held the large boarhound back by the scruff of his collar
"So this is where the caretaker lives" Caroline muttered looking around at the large hut
"Yep" Iris muttered seeing Hagrid releasing the large dog, it bounded straight over to her past self knocking her straight down and licked her face
"That dog likes ya" Kol smirked
"What gave it away?" the raven head quirked an eyebrow as the half giant hefted the dog off of the small girl, Ron helped her up and they both sat down on the worn out couch
"That looks tasty" Alaric commented seeing the cakes that little Iris and Ron were holding
"Trust me there not, merlin never touch what he cooks unless you want to break your teeth" Iris said shaking her head
"This is Ron" they watched little Iris introduce her red head companion
"Another Weasley eh?" Hagrid questioned
"Hard not to notice, they all have the same colour hair and similar features" Rebekah commented
"I spent half my life chasing your twin brothers away from the forest" Hagrid commented
"Classic troublemakers" Alaric smiled shaking his head
They watched as little Iris told Hagrid about her potions lesson
"Did it really bother you that he seems to hate you?" Klaus asked the petite raven head who was leaning back against him
"Well I'll rather know why someone hated me you know" she muttered sighing as he laid a soft kiss on the side of her neck, they saw Hagrid assuring the little girl
"But he seemed to really hate me" little Iris pouted
"Understatement it's as if despise you" Kol uttered
"Rubbish why should he?" Hagrid said, Elijah noted that the half giant clearly knew something as he didn't even bare little Iris a glance when he said that. And then he changed the subject, another clear sign he was hiding something
"How's your brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron "I liked him a lot, great with animals"
Klaus noticed that little Iris was paying attention to the conversation at hand, she was looking intently at a newspaper cutting
"What did you find out?" Stefan asked
"Look" Iris said mysteriously
They watched pass Iris picking up the cutting and then looked at Hagrid wide eye
"That Gringotts break-in happened on my birthday, it might've been happening while we were there"
"What's so suspicious about that break-in, isn't Gringotts a bank so-"
"You're forgetting Elena, Gringotts bank is magical, so it's impossible to actually break in and steal something" Iris explained "on the day men and Hagrid entered the vaults he took a package and-"
"And that's what the person was trying to steal" Jeremy finished off realising what the raven head was attempting to explain "so the bank no one ever could break in or-"
"No, anything is possible" Iris smiled knowingly
Klaus narrowed his eyes on her "Iris what did you do?"
"Nothing" she looked away
"Little liar now tell me, was it something dangerous?" he hissed into her ear
"Klaus we're in my past, there are going to be a lot of dangerous things happening throughout" Iris said quietly intertwining their fingers together, the hybrid sighed and kissed her temple
"Your piecing everything together" Elijah said seeing the look in little Iris's eyes.
The scene shifted so that now they were back in the great hall, Iris saw the numerous excited look on her past peers
"Why are you looking so queasy?" Caroline asked easily finding the little raven head who was sitting at the Gryffindor table
"We have our first flying lessons and-"
"You totally suck?" Damon smirked; Iris rolled her eyes but grinned at him
"Yeah Damon I am an epic failure at flying" she said sarcasm dripping from her tone, making the other look at her, Elijah scrutinised the look on the raven head's face
"Oh wow" Jeremy gasped as a flourish of owls swooped into the great hall dropping letters on to the table "that's how you guys get post?"
"Yep" Iris grinned, they were near the walls and could easily see little Iris and her group of peers, they watched as a barn owl dropped a package in front of Neville who ripped it open and held up a small glass ball which was smoky inside
"What's that?" Elena frowned
"You'll see" Iris muttered,
"It's a Remberall, Gran know I forget things, and this tells you if there's something you've forgotten to do, and look if you hold it tights and-oh-"
"That'd be dead useful" Alaric muttered watching the scene
"There's a downside to it Ric" Iris told him "It actually doesn't tell you what you've forgotten"
"Fat lot of use that is then" Jeremy shook his head "uh oh, here comes trouble"
They watched as Malfoy and his two friends who passed the Gryffindor and snatched the Remberall out of Neville's hand
"He's a meanie-"Caroline frowned thinking how on earth did the raven head and the wizard become friends?
"Meanie, he was a total arse" Iris chuckled, watching as her past self and Ron jumped on to their feet
"Going to be brawl Iris?" Elijah commented his lips twitching in amusement; Iris shook her head as McGonagall appeared in front of the two glaring groups
"What's going on?" she asked
"Malfoy's got my Remberall, Professor"
"I was just looking" Malfoy scowled and handed it back
"It amazes that you've to are close as you are now" Rebekah shook her head, deducing that something must've happened between the pair for them to become friends.
The scene shifted again
"Oh my god broomsticks? Do they actually fly?" Caroline grinned seeing the two groups, which were Gryffindor and the Slytherine lining up beside the broomsticks
"Yeah they do"
"That's cool" Jeremy grinned "Your teacher looks like a hawk-"
"And she's got eyes like one, her name is Madame Hooch" the raven head muttered, the group moved closer
"Well what are you waiting for?" Hooch barked "everyone stand by a broomstick, come on hurry up" the little kids did as they were told "stick out your right hand over you broom and say 'Up'"
They watched as the group of children shouted "UP"
"You've got yours straight away" Kol commented seeing little Iris's broom jumping straight into her hand, "Oh that's funny" he laughed seeing Ron get hit in the face by his broom, little Iris and her housemates snickered
"Out of curiosity Iris, how comes you don't hang around with the other girls?" Caroline asked "the ones in your dorm?"
"Hmm, well there were three girls in my dorm, Hermonie Lavender and Parvati, the last two were chatterboxes, and Hermonie was always reading, didn't really know how to talk to them" the raven head shrugged her shoulders watching as Madame Hooch was walking up and down the lines correcting the students grip
"Now" they watched as the Madame Hooch stood in front of the two rows of children "Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet and then come straight back down by leaning forwards slightly. On my whistle-three-two"
"Oh poor Neville" Caroline frowned seeing how nervous and frightened the chubby boy was, and pushed off hard of the ground and soared off into the sky.
"Come back boy" the woman shouted
"Can't she just zap him down?" Jeremy asked and cringed when the boy crashed into the castle wall and landed on the ground with a "WHAM"
It wasn't a surprise when all the kids gathered around the fallen boy, Klaus saw little Iris gripping tightly onto the broom and standing on her tip-toes to see
"Broken wrist" the vampires could hear Madame Hooch mutter "come on boy- it's all right-up you get" they watched as she turned to face the rest of the class, "none of you is to move while I tale this boy to the hospital or you'll be out of Hogwarts before you can say 'Quidditch'. Come on dear"
"That's an empty threat" Kol scoffed
"Telling kids not to do something, it'll make them want to do it more" the history teacher shook his head
"Ergh he's a little dick here" Damon muttered as Malfoy burst out into laughter and then the other Slytherine joined in the laughter
"Did you see his face? The great lump" the platinum blond boy exclaimed gleefully
"Seriously Iris, I actually can't wait to learn how you two became friends" Stefan shook his head, the raven head snorted
"Shut up Malfoy" a dark skinned girl snapped, Klaus and the others could see that she was a Gryffindor
"Ohh sticking up for Longbottom?" said a Slytherine girl "Never thought that you'd like a fat little cry-baby"
"Her name is Pansy" Iris told the group
"Ergh, don't you think she resembles a pug?" the female Original cocked an eyebrow
"Totally" Caroline nodded eyeing the hard face girl, she saw Malfoy diving for the glass ball "ergh now he's got that"
"Look, it's that stupid the Longbottom's gram sent him-"
"If it's so stupid why does he want it" Klaus grumbled under his breath
"Just for the sake of having it?" the raven head uttered looking at the hybrid from over her shoulder
"Look Iris is going to step it" Kol commented seeing little Iris's face
"Give it here Malfoy" little Iris said quietly
"You're going to punch him? Please tell me you're going to punch him" Kol grinned
The raven head rolled her eyes "If you watch then you'll see what's happening and the punching happens in my third year"
"What-"
"Hush" Iris cut Damon off and focused back onto the scene
"I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to collect-how about up a tree?"
"Give it here Malfoy" Little Iris shouted but he ignored her and jumped on to his broom and flew till he was above the tree tops
"Come and get it Potter" he yelled back
"Little shit" Klaus gritted his teeth
"You do realise he's goading you and most likely wants to get you in trouble?" Elijah asked watching the scene
"Really Elijah? I had no idea"
"No need to be sarcastic dear" the dark haired Original smirked, Iris couldn't help but laugh
"And knowing your temperament I bet you- ah there you go" Klaus uttered seeing the little raven head grabbing the broom
"No"
"Ah it's the bushy haired girl" Stefan commented
"Hermonie" Iris clarified
"Madame Hooch told us not to move-you'll get us all into trouble" Hermonie shouted
"Yeah like that'll work" Caroline snorted.
"Iris why the hell would you do that? You don't even know how to fly" the hybrid growled watching as little Iris jumped on to the broom and soared into the air
"Happened already dear" the raven head smiled at him, seeing her past self with a huge smile on her face
"You look like you're enjoying it" Rebekah commented
"It was a pure adrenaline rush" Iris smiled and felt Klaus's grip on her tighten slightly, the group saw little Iris spinning around to face a clearly shock Malfoy, they could hear gasps and some whistling from the group of children
"Give it here" the little raven head called "o I'll knock you off the broom-"
"Would you have done that?" Elena asked
"No, it was more of a threat" Iris replied
"I would've beaten his ass with the broom" Damon muttered and focused back on the scene
"Oh yeah? Elijah could see that the boy was acting brave but a look of worry pass his face
"You're not making it easy on him are ya?" Klaus smirked seeing his girl diving straight for Malfoy but the platinum haired boy dodged out of the way
"No Crabbe and Goyle up here to save your neck Malfoy" little Iris called
"Huh? So he always needed back up?" Alaric asked the petite teen nodded, the history teacher look back up at the scene
"Catch it if you can" Malfoy shouted and he threw the glass ball high in to the air and streaked back towards the ground
"Wow" Jeremy gaped seeing the little raven head diving after it, the elder Iris groaned feeling Klaus digging his fingers into her hips
"I'm bloody standing right here—"
"Hush love" Klaus snapped she felt his body relaxing against her own as little Iris gently tumbled on to the ground clasping on to the Remberall
"That made you popular" Rebekah smirked seeing the little kiddies all from Iris's house running after her
"Yeah but wait for it" Iris commented as soon as those words left her mouth there was a terrible shout
"IRIS POTTER" a fuming McGonagall ran towards the wide eye raven head "never in all my time –how dare you-might have broken your neck-"
"Iris got in trouble" Kol said in a sing song voice, making Iris roll her eyes
The scene shifted so now once again they were in the great hall
"There you are, you're dishing the boy all the details" Caroline commented, they had landed right beside little Iris and Ron
"Were those the twins?" Jeremy asked seeing the read head teens swaggering away
"Yep, they were congratulating me" Iris smiled
"Congratulating you? Why it looked like you was going to get your ass handed to you on a platter" Damon said his brows furrowing
"Well I thought the same, till McGonagall told me how I was now on the Quidditch team" the raven head grinned
"You got in on the team?" Stefan asked "I thought that first years weren't even allowed having a broom?"
"Exception?" Iris muttered rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly "plus I think she was desperate to win the cup from Snape, she muttered something about not being able to look him in the eye" Caroline snorted at that
"Aw look here comes trouble, so that's Crabbe and Goyle? Very attractive" Rebekah drawled they watched the scene
"Having a last meal Potter? When are you getting the train back to the Muggles?"
"Prick" Kol uttered
"You're a lot braver now you're back on the ground and you've got your little friend with you?" little Iris retorted
"That's my girl, give the runt hell" Klaus pressed his lips against her cheek laying a soft kiss on her smooth skin.
"I'd take you on any time on my own" said Malfoy "tonight if you want, wizard's duel, wands only, no contact- what's the matter Potter? Never heard of a wizard duel I suppose?"
"Of course she has" snapped Ron "I'm her second, who's yours?"
"Crabbe" he said Midnight all right" without another word he left
"Please tell me you wasn't foolish enough to fall for that?" Elijah shook his head knowing it was a rouse
"Erm…no?" Iris blushed earning disbelief looks from the others "give me a break I was eleven, plus if you're shocked at this then you in a world of surprise"
Klaus tugged her curl "what?" he frowned
"Ssh I'm watching myself" Iris sent him a small smile and looked away, holy merlin on a cracker she totally forgot about the three headed dog, she knew they would encounter
"What's a second?" little Iris asked
"Yeah what's that?" Jeremy frowned their questions were answered in thirty seconds
"Well a seconds there to take over if you die" said Ron casually and much to the group's amusement the little raven head spat her juice all over the boy
"Don't worry-"
"He's being reassuring" Kol scowled
"only people die in proper duels. The most you and Malfoy will be able to do is send sparks at each other, neither of you knows enough magic to do any real damage"
"Yeah but what if I waved my wand and nothing happens?" the little girl frowned
"Throw it away and punch him in the nose" he suggested
"For some reason I can picture her doing that" Alaric whispered into Jeremy's ear who chuckled
"Look like you two got yourselves a little eavesdropper" Klaus uttered seeing the bushy haired girl approaching them
"Excuse me" Hermonie tapped Iris on the shoulder
"Can't a person eat in peace in this place?" said Ron
"I couldn't help overhearing what you and Malfoy were says –"
"bet you could" they heard Ron mutter
"And you mustn't go wandering around the school at night think of all the points you'll lose Gryffindor if you're caught, and you're bound to be, it's really very selfish of you"
"No offence Hermonie but it's not really any of your business" little Iris told her
"Goodbye" said Ron
"Rude much" Caroline frowned at the red headed boy.
"That girl is a stickler for the rules isn't she?" Alaric muttered shaking his head
The scene shifted so now they were in the common
"You're actually going through with this idiotic-"
"Duh" Iris rolled her eyes seeing herself and Ron sneaking towards the exit
"Oh my god, is that girl everywhere?" Elena uttered seeing the bushy haired girl turn the lamp on
"I can't believe you're going to do this Iris"
"You" said Ron furiously "go back to bed-"
"I almost told your brother, Percy' he's a prefect, he'd put a spot to this"
"That girl isn't going to get any friends the way she is going" Jeremy said and watched as Iris and Ron simply ignored the girl, but she was stubborn and followed after the pair, the group trailed after them
"Something tells me this all goes to hell" Damon pitched in
"You don't know how right you are" Iris uttered
They watched Hermonie hissing after them "Don't you care about Gryffindor do you only care about yourselves? I don't want Slytherine to win the House cup, and you'll lose all the points I got from McGonagall-"
"Is it me or is she being selfish?" Stefan said watching the scene he saw Ron glare at the girl
"Go away"
"All right but I warned you, you just remember what I said when you're on the train home tomorrow- you're so-"
"I doubt that they'd actually expel you for being out after curfew, this is a school full of teens" Alaric added
"Ha she can't get back in" Damon smirked seeing that the girl was staring at the empty spot on the painting
"Can she-"
"You need to say the password to the Fat Lady before you're allowed entrance" Iris explained
"No what am I going to do?" Hermonie asked shrilly
"That's you're problem" much to Klaus's annoyance Ron grabbed Iris's hand "we've got to go we're going to be late"
"he's really pushing you into this duel" Jeremy frowned
"Hmm" Iris hummed they followed after them, Elena shuddered slightly as Hermonie ran through her to catch up with little Iris and the red head
"I'm coming with you-"
"Wasn't she trying to stop you?" Caroline frowned
"You are not" they watched the trio of kids argue back and for the
"Shut up, both of you" little Iris said sharply "I heard something"
"You did" Klaus frowned he could pick up sniffling
"Mrs Norris?" Ron breathed
"Who's Mrs Norris"? Alaric asked
"The caretakers cat, also a complete tattle tale" Iris told the hunter
"Was- ah it's what's his name-Neville" Jeremy said seeing the boy curled up
"Thank goodness you found me, I've been out here for hours o couldn't remember the password to get into bed-"
Damon snorted at that "something tells me this'll happen a lot"
"Keep your voice down Neville, the password is 'pig snout' but it won't help you now the Fat Lady's gone off somewhere- how's your arm-"
"Really Iris asking that now?" Rebekah shot her an amused look
"Its fine-"
"Good well we better be going somewhere-"
"Don't leave-"
"Ergh he's going to tag along isn't he?" Kol asked
"You've got that right" the raven head nodded
The scene shifted once again so now they were in an empty corridor
"What the-"? Stefan frowned
"What is it?" Elena asked anxiously kind of frighten about the surrounding darkness
"I can hear-"
"Running" Elijah finished off and sure enough the group of four kids ran thoroughly them
"STUDENTS OUT OF BED, STUDENTS OUT OF BED" they heard a voice shriek
"Something tells me you've gotten caught" Klaus smirked, Iris gave him a playful swat
They turned around so that they were standing behind them
"Who's running after you?" Elijah asked
"The caretaker" Iris replied
"This is it" they heard Ron moaned pushing at a lock door "We're done, this is the end-"
"Honestly? And I thought I was a drama queen" Caroline shook her head, both Iris and Elena shared a smiled and in unison said "You are"
"Oh move over-"Hermonie snarled
"Now she's not nice" Jeremy frowned seeing the bushy haired girl pushing Iris away
"Alohomora" she tapped her wand and unlocked the door, the kids piled through, Klaus grasped Iris's hand and the group entered the room as well
They could see the kids pressing their ears against the door listening
"Which way did they go?" Elijah heard an old voice croak
"Say 'please'"
"Don't mess me about-"
"Holy fuck" Alaric gaped at the sight, causing the others to turn
"So you now know why the door was locked in the first place?" Iris mumbled
"Is that real-?" Stefan asked eyes wide they were staring up a large three headed dog who was glowering at the group of kids
"Is no one noticing?" Klaus asked his grip tightening on Iris
"Erm…well someone does" they saw that Neville had noticed and was blindly grabbing little Iris's sleeve
"Neville what are- crackers" the small raven head gasped staring the creature in the eyes, Klaus glanced down his eyes narrowing on the trap door, the others noted, Elena flinched hearing the menacing growls coming from the monstrous beast
"Trap door?" Klaus muttered "So the school's hiding something-"
"The package from the bank" Rebekah said, the raven head nodded they were quickly piecing things together
"Aren't any of you going to move"? Kol snapped and much to his relied little Iris was the first to move.
"We're leaving" Alaric declared feeling the tug on his naval.
"I think we saw enough today anyway" Iris muttered and clutched onto the hybrid's hand as they soared upwards.
Iris sighed she had just exited the bathroom having showered and was now dressed in a pair of silk shorts and a thin camisole, after they had returned from the pensive they had some dinner and split, Alaric and Damon had helped themselves to the Firewhisky, Klaus and Elijah were playing wizard chess and Elena and Stefan had gone off somewhere, Jeremy, Caroline and Rebekah had gone off to their own rooms, she didn't blame them, she was exhausted as well.
The raven head yawned and crawled into the large bed, she had switched off the lights and began to drift off
Iris stirred feeling something fluttering against her skin
"Wake up love" a voice purred in and ear "we need to talk-"
"I'm sleeping" she mumbled and yelped when she was flipped over so that she was on her back, her eyes snapped open "Klaus what?"
"Are all your memories like that-"
"What'd you mean?" she asked confusion, she noted that he'd shed his shirt and jeans sot he was only clad in his boxers
"Putting yourself in danger like that, you were reckless Iris-"
"I guess we are similar in some way" iris muttered "Klaus it happened already and they do get more dangerous- I really needed to see them can- can you watch the rest-"she asked her emerald orbs staring into his
"For you I can" he closed the distance between them and kissed her hard on the lips, Iris moaned feeling him squeeze her breast; he pulled back and nipped, licked and sucked on her throat and jaw
"No bra?" Klaus asked as he easily lifted her top away
"No" she leant forward and kissed him hard on the lips, she blindly reached out and tugged the band of his boxers
"Eager are we?" he asked his voice low and gruff
"Yes" she answered simply and arched her back when his tongue darted out and swirled her nipple
"Then let's hurry things along" he smirked and with that he tore the shorts away from her body.
AN: There you have it, sorry for any spelling errors and grammar mistakes.
