Iris sighed and looked over her shoulder, she saw that Klaus was fast asleep, the raven head glanced out of the window and saw that the sun was just peeking through, she ran a hand down her face and felt an odd itch in her throat, Iris decided to and get a glass of water, she gently grasped Klaus's arm which was tightly wrapped around her waist and pried it off of her.
Klaus grunted causing her to pause she watched him carefully and when he didn't stir again Iris gently landed on her feet, she waited a second and grabbed her silk shorts that the hybrid had discarded and the matching to. Iris had just grabbed her robe and once again heard a grunt. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that the sheets around Klaus were now all bunched around his waist displaying his muscular legs.
Merlin that man, she idly thought and shook her head, Iris padded barefooted down the hall heading towards the kitchen she didn't bother turning the light on and made her way towards the sink, Iris grabbed an empty glass and poured herself some pumpkin juice she had took a sip and felt the hair on the back of her neck standing, she was being watch.
"Iris"
"Bloody hell Ric" the raven head gasped spinning around narrowing her eyes at the hunter "What the hell-"
"Sorry kid didn't mean to scare you" Alaric grinned "what are you doing here?"
"Getting a drink, you?" she asked dropping down on the old wooden chair
"Same" the hunter said pouring himself a goblet of pumpkin juice, Iris watched as he took a huge gulp of it
"Ric" she shrieked when he spat it out all over her spraying her with it "ew, ew, ew" she cringed
"Holy-Iris so sorry" the hunter said grabbing several paper towels and wetting them
"Yeah, I can see you're being sincere" she said sarcastically "you have a giant grin on you face" she muttered wiping away the juice
"It was funny" he defended himself taking the seat opposite her, she giggled and poured him some water
"So how you finding this?" she asked after a comfortable minute of silence
"What this?" he snorted "roughly three years ago if I saw this I would have convince myself that this is a crack induced dream" Iris laughed at that making him smile
"And now? What do you think-"
"Of your world" the history teacher ask "I think it's amazing, magical" he declared
"There's much more to come Ric" Iris told him leaning on her elbows placing her hand under her chin "and try and not to freak out when you see something else-"
"I wasn't freaking out-"
"Let me quote 'holy fuck-"she grinned seeing him roll his eyes
"Well a three headed dog Iris, hard to believe-"
"Good luck when you see a giant and a dragon" she jumped onto her feet, and leant over the table to lift Alaric's mouth, his jaw literally dropped
"Dragons?"
"Duh" Iris laughed "what else did you expect-"she walked backwards to she can see his face
"Oh right silly me" Alaric scoffed "hey do we meet mermaids?"
"Yep"
"What?" he yelled as Iris laughed and skipped away.
The raven head shook her head and shut hers and Klaus's bedroom door, she turned around and jumped when the hybrid appeared in front of her
"Klaus-"
"I really don't like waking up alone" he murmured and pressed kisses on to her throat,
"Hmm" she moaned quietly when he nibbled her earlobe, she felt Klaus stiffen
"Why do you smell of pumpkin?" he asked, and ran his tongue down her throat
"Ric" Iris mumbled "I need a bath" she wrapped her arms around his neck and lightly tugged his blond locks "care to join me" she squealed when he blurred them towards the bathroom.
The raven head bit her bottom lip as she sorted through the wardrobe, "Klaus" she giggled when he nipped her shoulder "I have to get dress" she muttered and felt his fingers playing with her bra strap
"Stop" she muttered
"Really?" he smirked
"Yep"
"Well how about-"
"Niklaus let her get dress, we should be entering the pensive soon and Iris still hasn't had breakfast yet" Elijah called, causing his half-brother to roll his eyes
"Ha, you've got told" Iris laughed, he tugged her curl
"Wear red, since you're a sneaky vixen" he kissed her on the lips and zoomed out of the room. Iris shook her head and opted to wear a cotton red skirt, and a cream colored cap sleeve top. Iris brushed her hair and tied it into a high pony tail; she slipped on a pair of flats.
The raven head dropped down beside Kol who was sucking on a blood bag
"Morning Sweets" Iris brows furrowed
"What do you want?" she asked helping herself to some toast
"Well since you're asking I was thinking, it seems a bit unfair that only Nik has had the pleasure-"the hybrid slammed Kol's head forward
"Really?" Elijah quirked an eyebrow
"He's being filthy and a complete-"
"Pervert" Caroline finished off "sort of like Damon-"
"Hey" the raven head vampire snapped "I didn't even say anything-"
"Yet" Stefan snorted
"You're all acting like a bunch of children" Rebekah sniffed "and I must say Sweets that your ex-head of house choice in clothing isn't all that up to par-"
"And you Rebekah are acting like a-"
"Brat" the whole room said in unison and laughed,
"Don't be mean" the female Original pouted
"Sorry Bekah" Iris munched on her toast
"So what should we be expecting when we dive in?" Jeremy asked,
"Hmm" Iris bit her lip in thought "Well we left off when we found the three headed dog-"
"Yeah and that bushy haired girl was most likely giving you hell about that escapade-"Caroline muttered
"Yeah but then we-holy crap" Iris muttered recalling the event with the troll, shit she was going to get in trouble she thought
"Cat got your tongue love?" Klaus cocked an eyebrow
"Erm…no-hey I know instead of going into the memories and look at the dull-"
"Hardly dull Iris" Elijah cut in
"Huh, anyway why don't we have a tournament of exploding snap?" she grinned
All the Originals narrowed their eyes on her
"You don't want us to see something" Alaric said
"Shush Ric" the raven head hissed at him
"You did something reckless-"Klaus frowned,
"Oh well I think I'll leave you-"she legged it down the corridor and swore when an arm came around her waist and was carried back into the kitchen
"Really trying to outrun a vampire?" Jeremy snorted
"I'd thought I'd give it a go-"
"What trouble did you get into Iris?" Elijah asked, she felt like she was getting scolded already
"Not my fault, I did it to help someone and it already happened" Iris uttered and tried to loosen Klaus's hold on her, "so don't get mad ok?"
"We're not making any promises" Klaus told her, and kissed her cheek "so should we go now?"
The group was now surrounding the pensive, Iris noted that they all now had their own spot, hers was beside Klaus and Elijah
"On the count of three" Rebekah called out "One, two, three" the raven head clutched on to Klaus's hand and they all dove in.
"We're on a pitch" Caroline frowned looking around it was just after dark
"Why are we here?" Damon asked
Iris smiled "Oliver Wood is about to teach me the rules of Quidditch"
"So where are you?" Elena asked
"There, on a broom, when did you get a broom?" Stefan asked spotted little Iris up in the air
"McGonagall gave it to me, she took the money out of my vault" the raven head explained
"I take it that's Wood?" Kol commented seeing a burly teen hefting a wooden chest onto the field
"Ohh, he's hunky" Caroline uttered
"Tell me about it, I wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into him" Rebekah smirked causing Iris to chuckle
"I give you that, you should see him without his-"when she heard a growl Iris stop talking "anyway let's watch"
Damon snorted, the raven head sent him a dirty look making him wink, and she sighed and watched the scene
"Hey Potter, come down" Oliver called, little Iris landed right beside him
"Don't say a word demon" Iris narrowed her eyes on the vampire
"What I was just going to say-"
"You're tiny" Jeremy finished off chuckling
They watched as the former Quidditch captain was eyeing the shiny broomstick that the little raven head was clutching "I see what McGonagall meant…you really are a natural, I'm just going to teach you the rules this evening, and then you'll be joining team practices three times a week"
"It all seems so nice then" the raven head muttered under her breath "Oliver is a Quidditch nut; you'll see him later on going crazy with the scheduling"
"Didn't it interfere with your school work?" Elijah asked
"Not much" Iris muttered and focused back on to the scene, they watched as Oliver opened the chest revealing four different size balls
"Right" said Oliver "Now, Quidditch is easy enough-"
"It looks complicating like hell" Alaric muttered watching the scene
"-to understand, even if it's not too easy to play, there are seven players on each side, three of them are called chasers-"
"Three Chasers" little Iris repeated
"Really trying to get that into your head aren't you sweets?" Kol smirked, she rolled her eyes
"Unlike you I need to know what I'm letting myself in for" Iris retorted, Klaus pulled Iris back slightly so that she was leaning against him.
"This ball is called a quaffle, the chasers throw the quaffle to each other and try and get it through one of the hoops to score a goal. Ten points every time the quaffle goes through the hoops-"
"Yep" little Iris nodded, Stefan looked over to the hoops and saw that there was three of them, hmm he thought it was easy to understand but knew it would be a whole different story when the game is played
"Now there's another player on each side who's called the Keeper-I'm the Keeper for Gryffindor, I have to fly around our hoops and stop the other team from scoring-"
"Huh sort of like soccer than right?" Jeremy asked
"Yep, but here we call it football Jere" Iris grinned relaxing against Klaus who was idly twirling one of her curls
"So what are they for?" they saw little Iris gesture to the chained balls
"I'll show you" Oliver said "take this" he handed her a bat
"Why'd you need a bat for?" Rebekah frowned
"Watch, remember this is a sport for wizards and witches, so there's going to be-"
"Magic" Klaus finished off her sentence smiling at the petite teen.
"Stand back" Oliver warned the little raven head
"Are- are they fighting to get out?" Jeremy asked wide eye literally seeing the heavy metal balls fighting against the chains
"I'm going to show you what the bludgers do" said the former Quidditch "Stand back" little Iris hastily followed his instructions
"Geez kid are you sure you-"
"I played Ric" Iris spoke over him
"Still I'm surprise that the wind didn't blow you away love" Klaus smirked watching the scene
The blundger was released and they saw it rose into the air high and then it pelted straight towards the little raven head's face
"Oh my-"
"Nice hit" Jeremy commented as little Iris swung the bat at it knocking the metal ball back sending it zig sagging across the field
"Impressive" Oliver nodded as he was struggling to put the blundger back into the crate "so the bludgers rocket around trying to knock players off their brooms-"
"That's dangerous" Caroline frowned
"It's not that bad, if you get hit the school's nurse can patch you up just like that" she clicked her fingers
"Sounds like you've got a lot of experience in being patched up" Rebekah uttered, Iris smiled innocently
"Well I may have visited the hospital wing a few times" she said casually
And looked back at the scene, Oliver was still explaining the rules of Quidditch
"That's why you have two Beaters on each team. The Weasley twins are ours-it's their job to protect their side from the bludgers and try and knock then towards the other teams-so you think you've got that?"
"Definitely, look at her little face" Kol snickered seeing the wide eye look that the little raven head was giving the burly teenage boy
"Iris?" Oliver asked
"Yep, yeah I-I got that" she nodded "have the bludgers killed anyone?"
"Good question" Stefan muttered
"Never at Hogwarts, we've had a couple of broken jaws but nothing worse than that, now-"
"That's dandy" the hybrid muttered, Iris rolled her eyes and lightly stroked the back of his hands with her nimble fingers
"The last member of the team is the Seeker, that's you. And you don't have to worry about the quaffle or the bludgers-"
"Yea unless they crack my head open" little Iris muttered
"Even back then you was a sarcastic little nymph" Elijah smirked making Iris smile
"Don't worry. The Weasleys are more than a match for the bludgers-I mean they're like a pair of human bludgers themselves"
"Good description" Damon said seeing the teen taking out a fourth ball, it was tiny and the size of a large walnut. It was bright and gold and little fluttering wings
"That's pretty" Caroline uttered
"This" said Oliver "is the Golden Snitch and it's the most important ball of all. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see. It's' the Seeker's job to catch it. You've got to weave in and out of the chasers of the chasers, beaters, bludgers and quaffle to get it before the other team's Seeker, because whichever Seeker catches the Snitch wins their team an extra hundred and fifty points, so they nearly always win. That's why Seekers get fouled so much. A game of Quidditch only ends when the Snitch is caught"
"So you're the most important player?" Elena asked
"Hmm, no everyone has their part to play, we're a team" Iris explained
"Ah, but you're the one that the other team will be gunning for" Damon said
"So end up hurt?" Rebekah asked, the raven head shrugged her shoulders
"It's a sport, what more do you expect?" Iris asked
The scene shifted, Iris saw that they landed in a classroom specifically in the Charms classroom
"What are you learning?" Jeremy asked interested seeing little Iris waving her wand and then grinning when the feather in front of her floated
"How to do a levitation charm" Iris said and spotted Hermonie waving her wand
"Looks like they're having a disagreement" Klaus uttered
"Hmm, Hermonie pissed him off" the raven head explained the class was dismissed
"Come on we're supposed to keep pace with past Iris" Elijah said, Klaus grabbed Iris's hand and they followed the little girl through the swarm of students
"This is weird" Jeremy shuddered as kids rushed through him, the group could easily hear little Iris's and Ron's conversation
"It's no wonder no one can stand her" the red head boy said to the past Iris "she's a nightmare honestly"
"Uh oh" Damon uttered seeing the bushy haired pushing past little Iris
"I think she heard you"
"So-"
"Don't be mean Ron, she's nice" little Iris scolded him as they walked down the corridor, they followed the pair into the great hall
Alaric whistled at the sight "So I'm guessing it's Halloween?"
"Yes" Iris grinned taking in the great hall, seeing the floating pumpkins and lanterns and live bats. The feast appeared on the four long tables as well as the high table
"They go all out don't they?" Stefan asked taking in the hall
"It looks amazing, I wish we could pull this off in Mystic Falls" Caroline muttered,
Klaus spotted little Iris about to dig into her food but before she could the large doors were slammed open instantly silencing the hall
"He looks like he's going to faint" Elena commented seeing the teacher with the turban panting as he reached the high table where Dumbledore sat, Iris bit her lip hard knowing she would probably get a telling off from Klaus or if not him, Elijah would definitely scold her.
"Troll- in the dungeon-thought you ought to know" and with that the professor collapsed
"Well he's a wonderful teacher" Kol scoffed irked by the cowardly man
"There's a troll loose?" Alaric asked dumbfounded
"Yep" Iris said balancing on the balls of her feet, she stumbled slightly bumping into the hybrid who was right behind her
Elijah wasn't surprised when there was an instant uproar, there was shouts and screams
But the movement stopped abruptly when Dumbledore raised his wands sending sparks into the air
"Prefects" his voice rumbled "lead your houses back to the dormitories immediately"
The group followed after little Iris and Ron who were climbing up the stairs
"How could a troll get in?" little Iris asked
"Don't ask me, they're supposed to be really stupid" said Ron "maybe Peeves let it in as a joke-"they hurried through the crowd, but before Ron could climb up the next stair case
"I've just thought Hermonie-"
"Why are you concerning yourself with her?" Rebekah frowned watching as the past Iris drag the red headed boy away from the crowd
"What about her?" Ron asked, the little girl rolled her emeralds
"She doesn't know about the troll"
"So what? You're going to try and find her?" Klaus frowned his eyes narrowing on Iris who looked away
"Come on" little Iris hissed and weaved through the crowd, the groups could kept paced with her and Ron, they had just turned around the corner
"Someone's coming" Stefan muttered picking up quick footsteps,
"Percy" Ron hissed, they saw him pulling little Iris behind a large stone griffin,
"Not the Weasley boy" Elijah frowned seeing it was in fact the Potion Master
"What's he doing?" the little raven head asked "why isn't he down in the dungeons with the other teachers?"
"Good question" Elena muttered
They watched as the two kids held their breath and heard Snape's footsteps fading away
"He's heading for the third floor" little Iris muttered,
"Where the trap door is" Rebekah murmured, she saw the red headed boy raising his hand
"Ergh- can you smell that?"
"Ergh" Caroline gagged "what the hell-"the vampire's noses twitch and held their breath, both kids peered down the corridor
"Holy- is that a troll?" Jeremy asked wide eye seeing a twelve foot creature lumbering down the corridor, Elijah was pleased when the two children shrank back into the shadows as the troll walked down the corridor passing them dragging it's club.
"It's so ugly" the blond vampire muttered
"And smells revolting" Damon muttered "Is it heading towards the girls toilets?"
"Yep" the raven head watched as the troll halted at the girls bathroom,
"I can hear sniffling" Kol frowned hearing a girl softly crying in the lavatories
"Yeah so what we did next was really stupid" Iris sighed and tucked a stray curl behind her ear,
"What did you-"
"The key is in the lock" little Iris said "we can lock it in"
"Good idea" Ron said nervously "You do it, I'll keep watch"
"How wonderful your friend is Iris" Rebekah drawled sarcasm, they watched the little girl leapt towards the door and slammed it shut locking the creature inside
"Come on Iris" Ron called "well done" he grinned at her, they both ran down the corridor but before they could round the corner there was a high petrified scream from the toilets
"Please tell me you went to get a teacher" the hybrid hissed
"Erm….I went to get a teacher?" she smiled weakly
"Liar-"
"Shut up Kol" Klaus snapped his gaze on the two kids, who ran back towards the door
"Iris-"
"Hermonie's in their" little Iris hissed and unlocked the door
"Why couldn't you just go get a teacher?" Alaric muttered as they followed after them into the bathroom
"Shit" Jeremy muttered seeing the state of the toilets; the sinks were ripped off of the walls, mirrors shattered.
"Look, there she is" Caroline exclaimed seeing the bushy haired girl shrinking back in obvious fear
"Confuse it" little Iris shouted at Ron, she grabbed a piece of broken tap and threw it at the troll
"This is utterly foolish Iris" Elijah glared at her seeing the troll focusing on little Iris and started to lumber towards her
"Oy, pea-brain-"Ron yelled from the other side of the bathroom grabbing a piece of pipe,
"Least he's doing something" Kol muttered seeing that the troll was now eyeing Ron and lumbered towards the red head. Iris felt a hand land on her shoulder and knew it was Klaus.
"I can't believe this" Stefan muttered seeing little Iris running around the troll towards the other girl
"Come on, run, run, run!" the little raven head yelled
"Now is so not the time to be frozen in fear" Damon snarled
"Pathetic human-"
"Hey, she was just a little girl" Iris defended the past Hermonie
"Yes so was you" Klaus barked, digging his fingers into the soft flesh of her shoulder
"The troll's losing it" Jeremy said anxiously seeing the shouting and the echoes seem to be driving it mad and the creature started towards Ron
Iris bit her bottom lip hard knowing what her past self was about to do, she willed her memory to fast forward but luck wasn't on her side.
"Holy-"
"Iris what-"
"We're going to be having words" Elijah said through clench teeth seeing the little raven head taking a great running jump and managed to wrap her arms around the troll's thick neck
"You shoved your wand up its nose?" Damon spluttered
"What? I improvise" she defended herself
"Do you do more improvising and reckless things?" Klaus eyes had darkened
"A bit" Iris squeaked, the hybrid growled and wrapped an arm around her waist slamming her hard into him "Elijah tell-"
"No, we will be talking after this" the dark haired Original snapped,
"Don't look at me kid" Alaric shook his head seeing her glancing at him "Shit-" he mumbled seeing the troll grabbed the little raven head and was now swinging his club at her
"Crap, Iris how the hell did you hold onto your dinner?" Jeremy shook his head, his eyes were wide
"If you remember I was about to eat but Quirrell run in" she informed him
"You are in so much trouble" Rebekah drawled Iris rolled her eyes "why isn't the stupid boy doing anything?"
Klaus and the others were tensed
"Finally the prick does something" Damon scoffed seeing the boy pulling out his wand
"Wingardium Leviosa" they watched as the club flew out of the troll's hand, the creature dropped the little Iris onto the ground, they all watched as the troll rose higher and higher and then all of sudden it dropped instantly knocking the troll out and making it fall to the ground causing the whole room to tremble
"So the boy was useful" Klaus uttered
"Yeah well-"
"You keep quiet" the hybrid snapped, causing the raven head huff and pout
"You're being completely-"
"I suggest you keep quiet Iris" Klaus uttered pressing his lips against the shell of her ear
They watched as little Iris got on to her feet, she was shaky and out of breath
Stefan snickered seeing Iris wiping her snot covered wand on the shirt of her red headed companion
"Is-is it dead?" Hermonie spoke coming out
"Now she can move, useless bitch" Rebekah muttered causing Iris to roll her eyes
"I-I don't think so" uttered little Iris her breathing rate going back to its usual rhythm, they saw her bend down and prod the troll
"What would you do if it jumped back up?" Caroline asked
"Erm…scream bloody murder" she replied
"Someone's coming-"
"More than one person" Kol cut Stefan off his heightened hearing picking several pairs of feet running towards the doors, the door blast open revealing a pale looking McGonagall, a scowling Snape and a quivering Quirrell
"What on earth were you thinking of?" said McGonagall
Damon whistled seeing her face "She's pissed"
"Not the only one" Kol commented looking at Klaus who's jaw was clench
"Aw no I wanted to see what happened" Caroline whined as the scene shifted "Iris-"
"Hermonie got me and Ron out of a tight spot and we became friends" the raven head uttered.
"So what? That's how you became friends?" Elena asked
"Yep, there are some things you do together and can't help but like each other in the end" Iris smiled wryly at that but then sighed, those were definitely simple times.
"We're in a stadium?" Jeremy asked they had landed in one of the stands on the Quidditch pitch, unlike last time where the stands were empty it was brimming with cheering students
"What's going on?" Damon asked looking around and saw figures high up in the air
"My first Quidditch match" the raven head explained and felt Klaus's grip on her relaxing slightly but he was still holding on to her
"There you are, you're diving for the snitch" Elijah uttered seeing the little raven head speeding after a small golden ball.
Iris watched her past self hurtling after the snitch she was neck and neck with the Slytherine seeker
"Come on" Jeremy hissed and grinned seeing little Iris inching more forward
"What the fuck-"Damon yelled out there were similar outcries from the crowd as one of the Slytherine player slamming his broom into Iris sending the small girl careening off. Klaus's grip tightened and he pulled her closer seeing his girl holding on to the broom for dear life.
"FOUL" screamed the Gryffindors
"Too right it's a blood foul, look at them can't even play fair" Kol spat glaring at the teen who'd hit Iris, the raven head followed his gaze and rolled her eyes, she could see the cogs in his head turning
"No Kol you can't kill him, this happened a while ago-"
"How about if he's just missing a chunk-"
"No" Iris snapped
"Aw, spoil sport" Rebekah pouted
Alaric realised that they were in the stands beside Iris's housemates, specifically Ron and Hermonie as well as the half giant who was watching the scene with a pair of binoculars
"Send him off, red, red card!"
"Who's he?" Caroline asked watching the eleven year old
"Dean Thomas" Iris answered
"This isn't football Dean-"said Ron "you can't send people off in Quidditch –and what's a red card?"
"I'm shock he even knew what football was" Klaus muttered
"They ought change the rules, Flint coulda knocked Iris outta the air-"
"Maybe we should pay a visit?" the hybrid murmured, Iris lightly elbowed him in the gut
They could hear the commentator clearly
"So-after that onvious and disgusting bit of cheating-"
"Jordan" McGonagall growled, causing the vamps to snicker and Iris to roll her eyes,
"I mean, after that open and revolting foul-"
"Ha, I really like that kid" Damon chuckled, Iris smiled
"He's friends with the twins"
"Ah" Stefan grinned nodding "that explains it"
"What the hell is going on with your broom sweets?" Kol asked causing them to look up, they could see Iris's broom jolting dragging her broom higher and higher away from her team-mates
"It's being jinxed" Iris sighed leaning back against Klaus's chest
"Jeez, nothing is ever simple for you is it?" Jeremy shook his head "is no one noticing?"
"They're too focused on the game" the raven head uttered
Stefan saw that it was the half giant who had first noticed what was going on with little Iris and her estranged broomstick
"Dunno what Iris thinks she's doing" they heard Hagrid mumbled "If I didn't know any better, I'd say she'd lost control of her broom….but she can't have-"
"She most definitely has" Elijah murmured his heightened vision picked up the surprised and miffed look on the past Iris's face
"Now they notice, are witches and wizards here are slightly slowly" Rebekah drawled seeing that the students were all now pointing and looking up at Iris, the girls gasped and the men tensed seeing Iris being flipped off of her broom so now that she was dangling from it, using only one hand to hold on
"My god" Elena muttered taking in the scene
"Did something happen to it when Flint blocked her?" one of the kids asked
"I doubt that, brooms have a whole different form of magic" Elijah commented his brows furrowing, his comment was confirmed by the half giant.
"Can't have" said Hagrid, Klaus could detect that his voice was shaking "Can't nothing interfere with a broomstick, except powerful dark magic, no kid do that to a Nimbus two thousand"
"So whose ever jinxing your broom is a teacher?" Kol asked a frown marring his face and watched as Hermonie grabbed the binoculars off of the half-giant and was peering into the stands where the teachers stood.
"It's the Potion master" Caroline muttered seeing the man's eyes were fixated on the small raven head in the sky
"Leave it to me" Hermonie exclaimed and ran out of the stands
"I know he hates you flower, but trying to kill you?" Damon asked eyes wide
"Remember not is everything as it seems" Iris murmurs
"That, man what's his name Quirrell? He's also staring up at you" Alaric frowned
"Hmm, so it's either the Potion master who hates you, or the wimpy teacher- what does he teach?" Damon asked
"Defence Against the Dark Arts" the petite teen answered
"Serious?" Stefan snorted at that "did you ever learn anything?"
"Nope" Iris replied popping the 'p'
Klaus's gaze however was focused on the little raven head who was holding on to dear life, his arm tightened around Iris's waist
"Ha she got him on fire" Caroline laughed seeing Hermonie literally setting the man alight,
Elijah noted that Snape had pushed Quirrell forward in his seat also making the other man break his eye contact with Iris
"What's wrong?" Rebekah asked in concern seeing little Iris speeding towards the ground clutching her mouth
"Are you going to be sick?" Jeremy asked as the Gryffindor seeker landed on all fours and was spluttering
"Is he really crying?" Damon whispered to Stefan, seeing Neville covering his face
"He likes her, so of course he'll be worried" Stefan hissed back
"No way" Alaric muttering he watched as little Iris seem to throw up a golden ball "you caught it with your mouth?"
Iris smiled "I don't even know how I did that" Iris uttered and grinned seeing her past self holding the snitch up into the air
"I got the snitch" little Iris yelled with the widest smile on her face, the crowd roared and cheered
"My first victory, finally felt like I had done something that will show people that I was just more than the girl who live" the raven head commented as her past team held placed the little raven head on their shoulders
"Iris you have a life-time of achievements" Klaus murmured into her ear
"Back here, I didn't, half the stuff I did that made my name so well-known comes later" Iris uttered
The scene shifted
"So instead of partying or whatever you're gossiping with a half giant?" Rebekah asked, they had landed in Hagrid's hut
"Well I wanted to celebrate with my friends, plus Hagrid slipped up on something, watch" Iris nodded towards the scene. Where little Iris, Ron and Hermonie were sitting on the couch with a mug of tea
"It was Snape" the red head boy said "Hermonie and I saw him, he was cursing your broomstick, muttering he wouldn't take his eyes off of you-"
"That's sounds creepy" Damon said in a sing song voice making Iris roll her eyes, Stefan elbowed his brother
"They failed to notice that Snape wasn't the only one whose eyes were fixated on your broomstick" Elijah commented
"Well could you blame him? Snape's is like the most obvious suspect" Caroline said watching the scene
"Rubbish" said Hagrid "why would Snape do something like that?"
"Erm…because he hates her?" Damon mocked
Little Iris nervously licked her lips "I found out something about him" she told the half giant "he tried to get past that three-headed dog at Halloween, it bit him. We think he's trying to steal whatever it's guarding-"
"How'd you know he was bitten?" Stefan asked curiously
"I saw him showing it to the caretaker" Iris explained and jumped when Hagrid dropped the tea-pot
"How do you know about Fluffy?" he asked
"Fluffy?" little Iris asked wide eye
"Yeah-he's mine-bought him off a Greek chappie I met him in a pub last year, I leant it to Dumbledore to guard the-"
"Yes?" the little raven head asked eagerly
"You should've kept quiet and let him divulge that secret to you" Klaus uttered "and who names that beast Fluffy?"
"That's Hagrid, he has an assortment of creatures the ones with the cute names are always the dangerous ones and the ones with ferocious names are generally nice" Iris uttered
"Now don't ask me anymore questions" said the half giant gruffly "that's top secret, he'd do nothing of the sort-"
"He was right" Elijah heard Iris mutter
"That's rubbish, Snape's a Hogwarts teacher, he'd do nothing of the sort"
"So why did he try to kill Iris?" Hermonie asked, "I know a jinx when I see one Hagrid-"
"The brat really is a know it all" Rebekah shook her head
"I read all about them, you've got to keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking at all, I saw him" Hermonie exclaimed
"Same could be for counter jinxes though" Klaus muttered frowning
"You're right" the raven head sighed, the hybrid lightly stroked her neck, she relaxed in his hold
"I'm telling yeh, yer wrong" said Hagrid hotly
"He really is defending him isn't he?" Kol uttered wondering what the potion master's true intentions were
"I don't know why Iris's broom acted like that, but Snape wouldn't try and kill a student! Now listen to me, all three of yeh-yer meddling in thinks that don't concern yeh. It's dangerous. You forget that dog and you forget what it's guarding, that's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel-"
"Aha" little Iris exclaimed "so there's someone called Nicolas Flamel involved is there?"
Jeremy snorted "You're right he did let something slip-"
"And knowing our Iris she's going to be doing a bit of detective work" Elijah said and saw the look of fury on the half giant's face "so he can't keep a secret-"
"He blurts stuff out" Iris shrugged her shoulders
"That's a dangerous thing to do around little inquisitive creatures" Klaus frowned
The scene shifted again so that now they were in a dark corridor, they saw little Iris running down the corridor,
"What are- are you hiding under something?" Damon asked as they followed after the little girl he noted that the portraits seem to have not notice the little raven head
"Yeah, a invisibility cloak that my father left me" Iris told them, they entered a disused classroom
"What? They're invisibility cloaks?" Jeremy asked his jaw dropping
"Jere haven't you realised yet, that anything here is possible" Elena chuckled shaking her head "Where's the cloak?"
"Stored away in London" Iris replied
"Why are you running around here anyway?" Elijah asked with a frown on his face looking around the dusty classroom
"I was doing some detective work-"
"Meaning you were snooping" Kol cut her off,
"Thanks Kol" Iris said sarcastically "well I wanted to find out who Nicolas Flamel was, and Snape was lurking around so I came here to make sure I won't get found"
They watched as little Iris stepped in front a large mirror
"Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru?" Rebekah frowned "what language is that?"
"English" Iris murmured Klaus could feel her tensing in his hold making him glance down at her
"What did you see?" Stefan asked seeing the little raven head jumping and looking over her shoulder but no one was there, she then looked back to the mirror and slowly walked towards it and gently pressed her hands against the mirror
"Mum? Dad?" little Iris whispered
"You could see your parents?" Jeremy asked
"Hmm" Iris pressed her face against Klaus's chest, the scene blurred by
"You told Ron?" Elena asked seeing that now Iris wasn't alone she had brought the red headed boy alone with her
"I-he wanted to see my family, so I showed him the mirror-"
"But it doesn't work that way does it?" Elijah sighed tugging one of Iris's curl
"See?" they all looked back at the scene and saw Iris whispering to Ron
"I can't see anything" said Ron
"Look, look at all of them…there are loads of them…."
"Was that the first time you seen your family?" Alaric asked quietly
"Yes, my aunt and uncle didn't have picture so-"
"So you didn't even know what they looked like"? Elena asked feeling a pang go through her at that, she couldn't have imagined not knowing how her parents look.
"I can only see you"
"Look in it properly, go on, stand where I stand" the little raven head stepped aside allowing Ron to take her place, Rebekah saw a look of delight on the boy's face
"Look at me" he grinned
"Can you see your family standing around you or-"
"No-I'm alone-but I'm different I look older and I'm head boy-"
"What?" Iris frowned
"Do you think the mirror shows the future-"
"He really is a little dick" Damon scoffed
"No tact at all" Elijah frowned seeing the grave look on the little girl's face
"How can it, my family is dead"
Klaus sighed and dropped a kiss onto Iris's head "Your family isn't gone Iris-"
"He's right, we're right here" Elijah finished off, making Iris smile
"That mirror's no good, look your arguing" Alaric shook seeing the kids shoving each other back and forth, but froze when there was a sudden noise
"Quick" they saw Ron throwing the cloak over himself and Iris,
"We can see you still?" Caroline muttered
"You're in my memory so it makes sense that you can see me" Iris told her
"Come on" they saw Ron grabbing little Iris's hand which annoyed Klaus and drag her out of the room.
Once again the scene blurred by
"You're back?" Jeremy asked seeing that the pas Iris was sinking down on the floor in front of the mirror
"Could you blame me?"
"No" Stefan murmured "but that mirror is bad news-"
"He's right, you've got bags under your eyes and your pallor is not so good" Klaus uttered he was concerned for her
"This already happened" Iris assured him
"You're so eager to see the mirror, you didn't even see someone else there already" Alaric said seeing the silver haired wizard coming into the light
"So back again Iris?" the previous headmaster asked, causing the little girl to jump
"I-I didn't see you there sir" Iris's voice trembled
Kol snorted "that's obvious"
"So?" they watched as the man sank down beside the past Iris "you, like hundreds before you have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised-"
"Hardly delights" Caroline muttered watching the scene before her
"I didn't know it was called that sir" they heard the little girl say
"But I expect you've realised by now what it does?"
"It-well it shows me my family-"
"And it showed your friend Ron as head boy-"
"How did you know-"
"I don't need a cloak to become invisible-"
"Let me guess, there's a charm for that?" Rebekah drawled, Iris nodded and saw Dumbledore opening his mouth
"Now can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all?" little Iris shook her head thoroughly confused, Jeremy and Alaric was as well though "let me explain. The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help?"
"No" Jeremy muttered causing Iris to snort
"It shows us what we want, whatever we want…"
"Yes and no-"
"Bloody hell, this is complicated" Damon muttered under his breath and listened to what the head master said
"It shows us nothing more or less then the deepest, most desperate desire in our hearts. You who have never know your family see them standing around you-"Iris smiled feeling Klaus kiss her cheek "Ronald Weasley who always been overshadowed by his brothers sees himself standing alone, the best of all them. However this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth. Men have wasted away before it, entrance by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing id what it shows is real or even possible"
"That's a dangerous thing" Elijah commented, the others nodded
"The Mirror will be moved to a new home, tomorrow, Iris, and I ask you not to go looking for it again, if you ever run across it , you will be prepared, it does not do well to dwell on dreams and forget to live , remember that. Now why don't ypou put that admirable cloak back on and get off to bed?"
"Wise words from the old man" Kol said
"He was a wise man" Iris murmured and felt the tug on her gut, they were leaving.
