A Hogwarts Tale: Decedents of the Sun

HOLY SHIT I SAW HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 (I saw it four times because I'm that much of a dork) AND OH MY GOD THE FEELS! If you ever want to see an emotional rollercoaster animation movie, HTTYD 2 is the one to see. Gah seeing the movie gave me so much ideas for the upcoming stories that I'm planning to write that it's just sajshajkfkaskdfasjkdhlf Let's just say, I'm motivated to write out at least four more stories related to this one xD

Thanks for reviewing:

Anw: Thank you for your kind words! ^^ Don't worry, there will be some romance in the story but just not right now since they're just kids. However, I will say that one of the parings you want will happen in the story—but later on—so if you are patient enough, you'll get your romance.

Sickle: Thank you! It's always nice to hear a compliment like that :D And I'm also glad that you like my decisions as well. I honestly thought I would get more flames for that xD but yes, Elsa will play a bigger role in this story. After all she is a queen and even though I didn't like the movie Frozen as much, I feel like I can expand her character a bit.

Queen Sound: Thank you! Like I said above, I'm glad that you like my decisions :D Hmmmm, those photos give me an idea for year four so to speak xD Hahahaha thanks for the link!

Fluffy lizard: Thank you, it's not that easy to make them complex—I still think they could use some work—but it's nice to hear someone thinks it is um I update about once a month? I'm trying to get a chapter up every month but it takes a while to the chapter outlined and write it out (the ideas come easier than the writing sadly)

Sunnix: And wait no further! For a chapter has been posted xD Thank you for the compliment! I'll try to get the chapters up faster but no promises.

Speaking: "Hello there."

Thoughts: What the blazes—

Spells: Lumos!

Last Time

"No way." Jack smiled as he wrapped an arm around Merida. "You met Steph as well! It's official, you're a member of our group due to your qualifications." Merida, Rapunzel, and Hiccup laughed the red head smirked at Jack.

"Oh so I had ta met Stephanie if I wanted to be yer friend?"

"Yup!" Jack smiled brightly bringing a smile to the Gryffindor.

"Yer all crazy. I like it." Merida laughed as the four of them entered the Great Hall not caring whatsoever at the stares and whispers directed towards them. For once, they were going to enjoy the company of new friends without worrying about what the whole school thought of them.

Third POV

"Alright, I don't want any trouble today." The flying professor—Madam Hooch—as she liked to call herself, shouted to the several students standing outside the castle with several brooms on the ground. "Today you will just be learning how to mount a broom, and fly at low heights and speed. I don't want another incident!"

"I wonder what incident she's talking about." Jack whispered to Hiccup, Rapunzel and Merida causing the two girls to shrug.

"Probably the one where Jack falls." Merida snickered causing Rapunzel and Hiccup to snicker at Jack's pout.

"That's mean Merida. Besides I bet you're the one who falls first—"

"Alright! Please stand to the left side of your brooms. Come on now, we don't have all day." Madam Hooch called out causing the many first years to eagerly stand to next to the wooden broom sticks on the floor. Merida smiled excitedly as she was finally allowed to fly on a broom. Her mother hadn't allowed it and made extra precaution to make sure her father wouldn't give her secret lessons. Now that she was at Hogwarts, her mother couldn't say anything in the matter and if she was good enough, she could make the quidditch team! And if she was really lucky, she could make it her first year like the famous Harry Potter. Ever since he was admitted into the team, some rules were changed allowing some first years to try out for the team but they had to be really, REALLY talented in order to even get a spot on the team. Merida could only hope that she had that kind of luck.

Rapunzel and Jack looked questionably at the broom stick at their feet before they looked at each other and shrugged. They knew that they weren't raised in the wizard world so there were probably some things that wouldn't make sense to them. The idea of flying appealed to both of them when they heard about the mandatory flying classes here at Hogwarts however the idea of flying on a broomstick …..it sounded very absurd. Could they really fly on a piece of wood no thicker that a normal broom back at home?

Hiccup on the other hand was intrigued at the idea of flying on a broom. It wasn't that uncommon that the older and more powerful wizards back at Bark could apperate/fly alongside dragons in order to hit them back down onto the ground. His father was one of the best ones and he would be expected to have the same results. He wasn't showing any promise. There had been a time when Berkian Wizards did use brooms to chase away the dragons but they easily learned that wood and fire did not make a good combination. And not to mention they jumped off the broom more times than actually flying on it. However, he had a feeling that just like his apperation lessons, he shouldn't expect much.

"Place your right hand out just above your broom and shout out up." The four friends looked at each other questionably but said nothing as they followed the professor's instruction and called out to their brooms.

Rapunzel looked at her broom and called out the word up but it took a couple of tries to get her broom to actually fly into her hand. However, she could feel the warmth of the broom and knew that it wouldn't be a problem trying to fly the broom. As she looked around she could see Merida and Jack smiling as their broom literally flew into their hand just after their first try and to their left she saw Hiccup looking surprised as his broom flew into his hand with much more intensity than Jack or Merida's.

"Alright, I want you to mount your broom and on the count of three I want you to lightly push off from the ground, hover for a bit and then come back down." Madam Hooch called out, pulling out a golden whistle as the rest of the students quickly mounted their brooms. "One two," Putting the whistle into her mouth, Madam Hooch let out a small whistle and just as they were about to push off the ground, a startled cry halted them in their track as they turned towards the source. Rapunzel gasped as she saw her house mate—Kristoff if she remembered correctly—shakily rose higher and higher into the sky, gripping his broom with an iron fist as his face showed complete horror.

"Kristoff!" Rapunzel cried out as the boy called out to the broom to let him down and only proceeded to fly him higher. "Madam Hooch please do something!" Rapunzel shouted as Kristoff's broom shook him back and forth, up and down, before zooming towards the school at speeds that would end badly for him if he didn't turn away.

"Not again."

"That's gonna leav' a mark." Merida winced as Kristoff's broom continuously slammed into the castle walls before diving down towards the school grounds and throwing him off to the side. The students and professor quickly rushed towards the fallen student as he tried getting up from the ground.

"Oh it's a broken wrist." Madam Hooch finally concluded as she reached Kristoff and took his hand away from his chest and helped him up. "Let's get you to the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey will have this fixed in no time." She turned towards the rest of the class and glared at them. "As for the rest of you, I want none of your flying. If I find anyone a foot off the ground, I can guarantee you that you will earn a first class ticket back to Hogwarts Express." Turning around, Madam Hooch quickly escorted Kristoff back into the castle while the Slytherin students snickered as they picked up a reindeer plush doll that Kristoff dropped during his unexpected flight.

"Well, this pretty much sums up why he's such a crybaby. I bet you he cries at night while holding this pathetic thing." The Slytherin Rapunzel met up earlier that week, Crabbe, laughed as he and his group of friends grabbed the plush animal. Rapunzel wanted to say something but her two friends beat her to the punch surprising a lot of the students.

"Hey give it back Crabbe, it's not yours." Jack growled, his eyes narrowing in anger. He could never tolerate bullying especially when it was towards such a nice kid. It grew some time for Rapunzel's house mates to consider him friendly since his house was notorious for bullying—he now wondered what the hell that hat was thinking, placing him in that house—and Kristoff was a nice guy. He carried that plush since he couldn't bring his own reindeer to school, which Jack found out was basically his only friend. It hurt Jack's heart to see him act so socially awkward towards others—except for Rapunzel, hardly anyone besides Slytherins hated her. He couldn't help but want to protect him just like he did with his muggle friend Stephanie.

"Oh shut it you filthy mudblood." Crabbed sneered while the rest of the students, including some of the Slytherins who liked Jack, gasped in shock at the insult. Before Jack or Rapunzel could even ask how awful the insult was, Merida growled angrily and pointed her wand at the cruel wizard child.

"Tak' tha back you slimly snake."

"Oh are you sure you're tall enough to even wield that wand?" Crabbe laughed as he mounted his broom, the stuffed animal in his hand. "Wanna try and catch me Dumbroch?" He floated several feet above the quivering first years who all stepped away.

"Wait Merida don't!" Hiccup cried out as he pulled on Merida's robe hoping that his weak attempt would at least let her think rationally. "You heard what Madam Hooch said, you'll get expelled!"

"But I can't jus' let 'im do wha' he wants!" Merida hissed before a hand on her shoulder caused her to look on her other side.

"Then you won't be alone in this." Jack growled causing several of the other students to whisper in shock. After all, it wasn't every day that a Slytherin sided with a Gryffindor but then again, there was hardly ever a muggle born wizard sorted into the house of snakes. "I hate bullies and just because he's in my house won't mean I will give him an exception. Let's go Merida."

"Jack!" Hiccup cried at the boy's recklessness before he saw Crabbe fly towards him. "Dear Odin why—gah!" Hiccup—who was much tinnier and weighed less than Crabbe—cried as he held onto the Slytherin as he flew higher and higher into the air. "Why me?"

"Shut up savage." Crabbe snarled and Hiccup wisely kept his mouth shut seeing that he didn't want to fall to his death so early. Oh he prayed to the gods that his father wouldn't hear about this. It would probably ruin his father's reputation by being such a weak son that he was picked on so early in the year. "I got two options for ya Mudblood and Dumbroch. You can either get this pathetic doll back," He waved the stuffed plushie in the air, "Or save your pathetic savage friend—"

"Bark wizards aren't really that savage—"

"Your choice." He laughed as he threw the doll in one direction and flew off with Hiccup in another direction before suddenly dropping him. Without needing to be told aloud, Jack looked at Merida before shooting off towards Hiccup's direction while the red head flew off towards the stuffed animal.

Rapunzel watched in worry as her friends risked their education by disobeying the teachers order to save a friend—ok that couldn't get Jack expelled—and a very sentimental item for another student.

"Sheesh, I didn't know the guy had it in him." A brown haired boy muttered, causing Rapunzel to turn and look and to her surprise, it was the boy she met at the lake weeks earlier. And if she remembered correctly, he was sorted into Slytherin just as Jack was.

"I thought all Slytherins were all for bullying." Albus muttered towards the Slytherin boy who shrugged but smiled as Jack caught Hiccup effortlessly. In fact it looked rather easy for him to fly on that broom. Especially on that tight turn to avoid that pole, gotta give him props there.

"Never really been a big fan of confronting people. Preferring to do it without them knowing. Flynn Rider." Flynn muttered giving his hand out for the Gryffindor boy to take.

"Albus Potter."

"You're Jack's friend aren't you blondie?" Flynn asked Rapunzel who squeaked in surprise. She didn't think he would even bother to talk to her since most Slytherins talked amongst themselves but then again it has been a strange year,

"Um yes. I'm Rapunzel Gothel." She smiled as she gave her hand for him to shake. "Nice to meet you." For a moment Flynn looked bewildered before muttering something under his breath something about 'the other students were right'.

"Look! They're back!" One of the other students shouted out causing the trio to snap out of their conversation and look back on the pitch. Rapunzel let out her breath as she saw her three friends arriving safely. Merida had the plushie in her hands, a smug smile on her face as she sailed right beside Jack—who was carrying a slightly terrified Hiccup—before they landed on the ground. Immediately they were surrounded by the cheering of the students as they congratulated them for their bravery but it was quickly silenced as they heard the voice of two professors.

"What is going on here?"

"Oh don't be so daft Professor Lee. It's obvious what the two students were doing." Professor Black sneered as he locked eyes with Merida before turning towards Jack with a raised eyebrow. "Flying without permission did we."

"Ms. Dunbroch, will you please come with me." Professor Lee said before taking a look at Hiccup. "And you as well. I'll take you to the hospital wing."

"I-I'm fine really." Hiccup tried to protest as he let go of Jack before he stumbled out of shock. Luckily Merida caught him and chuckled.

" Com' on Hiccup. You look like yer 'bout ta fall down." Merida smiled as she helped Hiccup and quietly walked away with Professor Lee before she stopped and threw the plush animal towards Rapunzel who barely caught it. "Oh don' ferget to give tha back to tha kid." Rapunzel could only nod as the Transfiguration potion turned towards the Potion Professor as he stared down the first years.

"I assume you'll be in charge of Mr. Overland's punishment Professor Black?" She smirked causing a small predatory smile to appear on his face.

"You assume correct. Come Mr. Overland. We have much to discuss." Bowing his head, Jack quickly followed the Potions master leaving the class alone once more.

"Oh dear…." Rapunzel muttered, clutching the stuffed animal against her chest as the rest of the class dispersed leaving her with Albus and Flynn. "I hope nothing bad happens to them."

"What do you mean you're not expelled!?" Rapunzel shouted as she finally saw her friends during dinner. She wasn't the only ones shocked. It seemed that both the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables were rather excited and no one in her house knew what happened. She was even surprise when she saw Jack smiling and smirking at Merida as they sat down at her table since….well, the Gryffindor and Slytherins were rather at odds with each other ever since the flying lesson.

"Exactly wha' it sounds like." Merida smiled as she patted Hiccup's shoulder, nearly causing him to choke on his food. "Oh sorry Hiccup."

"No worries." Hiccup gasped out, getting air back into its proper place. "Berkian Wizards can handle anything you throw at us."

"You sure about that?" Jack laughed before he took a bite out of his chicken. "It looks like a breeze can knock you down."

"Shut up."

"So if the professors didn't expel you, then what happened to the two of you?" Rapunzel asked earning many curious stares from the students at her house.

"Well, I don't know if Merida got the same treatment, but…I was put onto the Slytherin Quidditch team!" Jack smiled as Rapunzel squealed in delight while Merida pouted.

"No fair Jack!" Merida shouted as she frowned playfully and smacked him on the shoulder. "I was suppos' ta tell them tha'!" This time, Hiccup gasped in shock.

"Wait you too!?"

"Well wha' cha know." Merida playfully punched Jack's shoulder. "Looks like I'll play agains' ya. Prepar' ta lose?"

"You wish Merida." Jack laughed. "I may be a muggle-born but that doesn't mean I won't be easy to beat!"

"Alright, settle down. We don't want to start fights already." Hiccup muttered before a chuckle interrupted him.

"Don't stop him, it'll be good for him and Merida to be actually showing house rivalry." Turning around, Rapunzel noticed that Flynn had decided to join them, causing more whispers to erupt at her table. "Everyone is wondering what the hell is going on with all of you." He took a seat and took a bite out of Hiccup's plate. "Hmm. This chicken tastes good."

"We're just friends." Rapunzel said warily eyeing Flynn. She had more unpleasant encounters with the Slytherins students during the couple weeks here so she was wondering where Flynn was on the unpleasant Slytherin scale she made. Was he nice like Jack, didn't care like Scorpious, or very anti everyone but Slytherins and Jack like Crabbe?

"Figured since you all sit together. Ah this food is better than what we have over at our table!" Flynn exclaimed before he stopped as he saw the pointed glares from Merida and Jack—both who weren't happy that Hiccup's dinner was taken from him. "What?"

"Why are you here? Most of my house doesn't even like the fact that I hang out with Merida and Hiccup." Jack said, pointing to the two he mentioned while Merida scoffed and Hiccup quickly looked anywhere but at Flynn. "So what's your reason to talk to the outcasts?"

"Oh nothing really." Flynn nonchalantly said before pausing and sighed dramatically grabbing Hiccup by the shoulders and began to theatrically tell his tale. "Ok fine. After today's incident, Crabbe was pissed that you didn't get into trouble. He then came up with a devious plan to get you and your friends in trouble and yours truly over heard their cunning and devious plan. I had to run down to the great hall before him and—"

"Ok we git it." Merida growled out, momentarily scaring Flynn. "Why tell us? Arn't yer plannin' somethin' else?"

"You think that I'm such a typical Slytherin that I would have an ulterior motive to notify you guys bout Crabbe's plan? I'm appalled!" Flynn frowned as Rapunzel, and her friends gave him a deadpan stare. "Sheesh all right, all right. I took another bet with a Slytherin that you guys wouldn't bother with him. They were pretty sure that at least Merida would try and get you to fight them."

"Wait fight? As in fist fighting? I deal with that." Jack scoffed, remembering some of the times he got into a couple of brawls trying to protect Stephanie. While he got pummeled in most of his fights, he was sure that his experience would give him an edge over a stuck up kid like him.

"What? No, as in a duel. He'll probably come by and tell you to meet him at the trophy room on the fourth floor at midnight." Flynn said shaking his head. "Really? Fist fight? We're wizards, not muggles."

"Ah sorry, still trying to get used to the whole wizard culture." Jack sheepishly chuckled before Hiccup spoke up.

"Um actually back on Bark, we also fight with each other with spells, weapons, and bare hands. Witches and Wizards who can take down dragons with only their bare hands and a weapon or two are considered the greatest fighters. We just use wands to help us understand how to channel our magic and use it minimally once we get the hand of it. Most of the time we just do things the old fashion way. We still fish and hunt for our food and make our own weapons like muggles did about a hundred years or so….what?" Hiccup asked as Merida and Flynn gave him a surprised look.

"Yer channel yer magic into weapons?!"

"You still hunt fish like muggles?!"

"Wait you have dragons?!" Rapunzel squealed out. "They're real!? Can you believe Pascal?! They're actual fire breathing reptiles! Maybe you could learn a thing or two from them." The reptile merely squeaked before Flynn suddenly grabbed her and used her as a shield.

"Damn they're here. Um, don't feel offended or anything but I'm going under." Rapunzel squeaked in surprise as Flynn dove underneath the table and quickly shushed the group as Crabbe and his group came towards them. "Don't let them know I'm here!"

"Oi Overland. Think you're so special by making the quidditch team huh."

"Um actually…."

"You should learn your place Mudblood." He snarled before jumping back as Merida growled angrily at him. "Figured you would stand up for the likes of him. Honestly I don't even know why he was sorted into our house. Salazar himself would weep at the sight of you." Jack held his tongue at his comment that he was pretty sure was meant to be offensive but he figured it would hurt Crabbe more if he said nothing.

"Is there a reason you're here at the Hufflepuff table then?" Hiccup sighed getting annoyed at the Slytherin's ranting before he yelped in surprise as he felt a wand tip dig into his back.

"Shut up savage, I didn't ask you anything."

"Then leav' already." Merida growled. "Unless yer want ta caught tha professor's attention." She said, nodding her head towards the headmaster as he looked over at their direction. Scoffing, Crabbe retreated his wand and growled angrily at Jack.

"Meet me at the Trophy room on the fourth floor at midnight for a duel unless you're chicken." One of his lackeys made the noise of a chicken causing the rest of the Slytherins to laugh before Merida shouted out.

"Don' worry! He'll be there and I'll be 'is second!"

"Whatever! Be there!" They quickly left, not before giving a sneer to both Rapunzel and Hiccup and the group looked at each other before they heard a groan coming from the table underneath them.

"I thought I told you not to take the offer!" Flynn hissed out before bumping his head on the bench as he crawled out. "Damn there goes five galleons…."

"Well, Jack's not going to go." Rapunzel huffed out surprising nearly everyone in the group.

"Whot?!"

"Really?!"

"Thank Merlin"

"That's probably a good idea." Hiccup sighed, "I mean he probably knows that we have curfew and wants us to get into trouble by being out late. If anything I see this as a trap so it probably would be best not to go."

"But Jack can totally kick his arse!" Merida whined before pouted. "And I always wanted ta be a second in someone's duel."

"What's a second?" Jack asked, internally glad that his friends agreed on not him going to the Trophy room at midnight. He was used to breaking rules with Stephanie, and he wasn't sure how far his friends would go.

"If you die in a duel, then the 'second' takes your place and yeah basically that's it." Flynn explained before sighing heavily. "Now my good friends, I must be off to collect my winnings—err bring good news to my friend seeing that the bet was in my favor." He quickly corrected himself as Rapunzel and Pascal glared at the Slytherin. Who would have thought that the small reptile could give off such a menacing stare. "So long and good luck in practice Jack. Most of the team members are super Slytherins…although if you help them win in their first match, they may actually warm up to you."

"Err, thanks?" Jack questioned to his fellow Slytherin as he exited the Great Hall and disappeared for the night. "Well that was pretty random….hey can I copy the charms homework?"

"Jack!"

"I knew it was a bad idea to go to the library before it closes." Jack muttered as he, Merida, Rapunzel, and Hiccup ran towards the stairs in order to get to their respected houses. "Why did we go there again?!"

"Someone—had to copy—our homework—and when you couldn't—understand Merida suggested—oh gods—to go to the library." Hiccup gasped out as he tried to keep up with his friends. He wasn't used to this much physical exercise and climbing stairs was much more tiring than it seemed. At least he wasn't the only one. Rapunzel was struggling as well, although it was more to carry her hair than anything. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost 'iccup." Merida smiled as she looked back at the two straining to keep up with her and Jack. "Aww, tired already fishbon'"

"Shut…up." Hiccup gasped out as he finally reached the two with Rapunzel.

"We….never walked this much….stairs before." Rapunzel huffed out as well before letting go of her ten foot long hair. Her braid had come undone and it was only due to Hiccup's help that they were able to get it back into another badly made braid that kept most of her hair up. Before Jack or Merida could even make another comment, the staircase suddenly rumbled and next thing the four friends knew. The stair case was moving once more.

"What's happening?!" Jack shouted as he grabbed onto the railings, watching in amazement and wonder as the stair case moved. It could have been an amusement ride if they weren't several floors up and no netting would break their fall.

"The staircases move remember!" Rapunzel squeaked as the staircase finally settled onto a new floor—was it several floors higher than they planned? "How about we move before the staircase moves again?"

"Ya, lets go." Merida muttered as she took Rapunzel's arm and quickly pulled her out of the stairs, followed by Jack and Hiccup. "Does anyone know where we ar?" She asked as they finally entered the dark corridor, barely lit by torches.

"Um….no….not really." Jack muttered as he looked at the cobwebbed torches. "Although you would think that they would clean this place up a bit."

"Um I think this is the Third floor…." Hiccup gulped as he passed a demonic stone statue covered in cobwebs and cracks. "I heard that this floor was restricted towards students nearly two decades ago…"

"I wonder why…." Rapunzel muttered before she cried in fright as she felt something slid pass her feet. "What was that?!" She cried as she held her wand with her two hands and pointed it in the dark.

"Whot was….gah!" Merida cried as something slid past her lags causing her to screech.

"You guys really aren't helping…" Hiccup gulped as he shakily took out his wand and muttered a weak Lumos. Sadly the merely flickered before completely dying out. "Great I can't light up the floor…"

Meow

All four of them turned around just as a torch decided to go aflame, lighting up part of the hallway, showing a red eyed tom cat staring eerily at them.

"Isn't that Flitch's cat?" Jack gulped remembering the crazed wizard—but he never did carried a wand and the older students called him a squib whatever that meant—before remembering what his job was. "Oh we're so dead."

"Let's get out of here!" Merida hissed as she pushed her friends in the opposite direction of the cat. "Oh now they lit up!" She nearly shouted as they passed more torches, lighting their path and also giving away their position.

"Let's worry about that another time!" Jack huffed, helping carrying Rapunzel's hair stopping as he saw a wooden door. "What about here!"

"It's locked!" Rapunzel cried as she pulled on it, "We're doom!" Pascal squeaked in fright as they heard the professor's voice echo down the hall.

"Oh students out of bed….couldn't have run off that far now could they Ms. Norris…"

"Anyone know how to pick a lock?" Jack asked, gripping at straws as the footsteps came closer towards them.

"Move!" Merida hissed as she took out her own wand and pointed it at the lock in front of her. "Alohamora!"

"Where did you learn that?" Jack asked ask he eyed the open lock. That spell could come in handy back at home, especially when he and Stephanie would go back to their playful ways during Christmas break.

"Does that really matter now?!" Rapunzel cried, clinging onto Hiccup's arm as the footsteps got closer and closer.

"Dad taught it ta me when I was a wee lass." Merida hissed as she pushed in Rapunzel and Hiccup, before pulling in Jack and shutting the door close. "Now stay quiet!" For several seconds, the four kids held their breaths as Filtch's footsteps reached their door they hid behind before hearing his raspy voice mutter in despair.

"Darn kids always hiding. Think they're better than us? We'll show them wont we Ms. Norris?" The cat meowed before the footsteps began to fade causing all of them to let out a relived gasp.

"That was heart pounding." Rapunzel muttered, clutching her heart while Pascal nodded, letting his multicolored skin go back to his normal green. "If we got caught and gotten in trouble—gasp—my mother would be so disappointed in me!" Rapunzel gasped as she grasped her hair in fright. "She would pull me out and I would go to another school and and—"

"Relax Punzie, you're not going to get in trouble." Jack tried his best to calm down the panicking girl before Hiccup's voice cut him off.

"Hey…do you guys know where we are?" Turning around, they saw Hiccup examining the room with his badly lit Lumos. In turn Jack, Rapunzel, and Merida lit their own wands and gasped lightly as they saw the room's content.

"What is this stuff?" Rapunzel asked as she looked at the several glass cases containing different objects. In one of the glass cases was a small golden locket with an Emerald S on it. It would have been very pleasing to the eye if it weren't for the fact that it was cut in half and smeared with black soot. The other cases held a black diary with a giant hole right in the middle, a destroyed golden cup with the Hufflepuff crest on it, a blacken ring and a badly burnt Tiara.

"Why keep these items in glass containers in a classroom on the third floor?" Jack asked as he observed the golden locket.

"I think these ar' Horcuxes…." Merida whispered as she examined the black leather book. "The ones that tha Dark Lord had…"

"We should probably go then." Hiccup gulped. "I don't like the idea of hanging out items that held really dark magic….."

"Yeah, we should go…." Rapunzel shuttered as she suddenly realized how cold, dark, and depressing the room felt. The fact that it had cobwebs and dust that hadn't been cleaned out for several years made it more haunting.

"Wait….is that a photo on the ground?" Jack asked as he picked up a dust piece of paper and blew the remaining dust off the supposed photo. As they all gathered around Jack, they looked at the people in the photograph before starting at their blonde friend and then back at the photo again.

"Is that what I think it is?" Hiccup asked as he took the photograph and examined it even further, still not being able to believe what he was seeing.

"Rapunzel's long lost sister?" Jack suggested as they passed the photo around looking back and forth at Rapunzel and the woman in the picture. She was probably around the age of twenty or so and judging by the torn and yellow marks on the photo, the woman probably was older now. She smiled happily at the camera, along with several other witches as they stood at the hospital wing of Hogwarts and helped treat the patients of the battle. However, her wide blue eyes and long blonde hair reminded them instantly of Rapunzel.

"Mother said I was an only child and I'm sure it's just a coincidence that witch looks like me!" Rapunzel hastily said, but she found herself doubting her words. Could it be possible that she had a long lost sibling? But who was she? Where was she now?

"There's no name on the back…." Hiccup muttered, "But it's definitely from the battle of Hogwarts…."

"Like that's helpful." Jack huffed as Merida stole the photograph from Hiccup.

"Can't we ask ta Professors ta help?"

"And I'm pretty sure they'll ask where we found a photo like that." Hiccup answered snatching it back before handing it to Rapunzel. "You sure you don't know her?"

"No…..but she looks so much like me." She whispered as Pascal squeaked in comfort as the three other friends looked lost at what to say before Jack snapped his fingers.

"Steph can help!"

"What?" Everyone asked Jacked with a raised eyebrow.

"How can she help us with this photo?" Hiccup asked, skeptical at Jack's reasoning. After all, how could a muggle know more about a wizarding photo than they would? "Wouldn't the teachers know more about the photo than her."

"First of all, if we ask the teachers, they'll ask where we got the photo and they'll find out that we traveled to the third floor. And second of all, " Jack muttered raising two fingers up, "Steph basically knows almost anything that has to do with the wizarding world without having to resort to asking any adults. She's our safest bet and best person to find out who this person is."

"Tha lass knows more wizarding stuff?" Merida asked skeptical before sighing. "But I guess ya got ta point. She won't rat us out. Whatcha say Rapunzel?"

"Um…." Rapunzel glanced at the photo once more before she smiled and gave the photo to Jack. "Give it to Stephanie, I'm sure she'll be able to find at least something."

"Alright!" Jack smiled as he took the photo and placed it safely in his inner pocket of his robes, briefly showing the green lining his robes that showed his color of his house. "I'll send the photo to Steph tomorrow in the morning. Now I think we should probably get going otherwise, our house heads realize we're missing."

"Yeah, that's probably good idea….but…." Hiccup paused in midsentence before sighing heavily. "Does anyone know how to get out from here?"

"So anything from Stephanie yet?" Rapunzel asked Jack as they calmly ate breakfast at the Ravenclaw table, deciding to give the Hufflepuffs a break from their group. They were the only ones that were neutral on Gryffindors and Slytherins and didn't give that much stares.

"I don't know, Steph's usually quick about this stuff but she does have other stuff to do now. She does go to muggle school and from what I hear from my parents, she's taking another class outside from school. It could be a while." Jack apologized to Rapunzel who gave him a small smile before returning to her food with a barely noticeable frown.

It had been a couple of days since Jack sent the Rapunzel look-a-like photo to his muggle friend—he was actually excited to use his owl Frost to send a message—and she would be lying if she said that she wasn't disappointed at the slow response. She had written to her mother about the photo and told her the excitement of the possibility of having a long lost relative or something like that.

"Look mail's here." Merida smiled as she saw her trusty owl Angus II swoop down with a copy of the Daily Prophet along with a letter from her mother. "Ugh I swear ma own mother won't let me do anything!" She scowled as she read the letter from her mother before crumpling it up and throwing it behind her.

"She still won't let you get a broom?" Jack asked, as Merida merely groaned out her answer.

"What about you Jack?" Hiccup asked, taking a sip of pumpkin juice. "Did your parents get you one yet?"

"They're working on it." Jack chuckled sheepishly, "They're asking Steph's parents for a good model that wont dent their pockets too much."

"Aye, that's a hard combo ta find." Merida piped in. "But if ya want a good broom without scarin' ya parents, I say a nimbus four thousand shall do ya good."

"How much is it?" Jack asked, already egger to write to his parents about the news. Probably the only downside to the wizarding way of communicating was the old fashion writing.

"Probably 'bout fifteen or was it twenty gallons?"

"Twenty Gallons!?"

Chuckling, Rapunzel continued to watch Merida and Jack argue about each other's view of pricing and how girls tend to make things sound cheaper than what it was. If anything, they probably looked like a typical Gryffindor and Slytherin. However it was Pascal's squeak that diverted her attention from her friends.

"What's wrong Pascal?" The blonde witch asked her retile friend as he began to squeak more noises before he pointed towards the flying owls above. Rapunzel squinted at the multicolored birds above before noticing a familiar snowy white carrying several pieces of paper.

"Hey Jack! I think that's Frost!" She squealed excitedly, stopping the argument right there and then. Jack looked up just as Frost came down and dropped the pieces of paper right in front of him before landing on his shoulder.

"Hey and I was thinking you got lost or something." Jack chuckled as he tickled his owl affectionately before giving it a piece of toast. It took the piece of bread before flying off with the other owls to the owlery.

"She got this much information?" Hiccup muttered, awed at the sight of the thick envelops before taking a small letter with Jack's name written a bit messily in the front. "So what did she say?"

"I don't know, let's find out." Jack smiled as he grabbed the letter from Hiccup's hand and hastily opened it. He cleared his breath, before reading out the contents of the letter.

Dear Jack,

God it sounds like I'm writing to a pen-pal or something. Honestly, I wished the wizarding community invented a more practical way of communicating like us muggles. They would make a fortune in selling some sort of wizarding mobile phone.

Anyways, there are several things I want to talk to you about before getting to your request about the photo so please bare with me. Oh and I'm sorry to Hiccup, Rapunzel, and Merida for probably listing into this.

"Well, what does she want to tell you?" Hiccup asked, as Jack paled once he finished reading the first part.

"Well, that's not necessary." Jack quickly muttered, trying to find the part where Stephanie talked about the photo, not really wanting his friends to hear what his friend had to say. "I'll skip to the—"

"Oh no ya don'!" Merida smirked as she grabbed the letters from Jack and held them away from the Slytherin as she continued the letter.

Ok first thing on the agenda…..WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU WRITE TO ME ABOUT THE SORTING! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD TELL ME WHAT HOUSE YOU WERE SORTED INTO AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WHERE THERE! YOU SON OF A MOTHER FLIPPING ASSHOLE!

"She seems pretty mad." Hiccup chuckled as Jack blushed bright red as Merida continued to read the letter, trying her best not to laugh.

Ugh I hate how I found out by your parents. Although, congrats on being the only non asshole Slytherin! When you come back for Christmas break, we're gonna celebrate.

Alright, second thing on the agenda. I can't believe you're friends with the people I met in Diagon Alley in that day! And once again, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! Ugh, you're a terrible neighbor you know that? By the way, tell Rapunzel, Merida, and Hiccup I say hi! Oh and ask Hiccup if he could give me a photograph of Bark when there's a Dragon raid. I know it sounds kinda rude but I want to see dragons in action! Oh and ask him to sign it so I can have an official Berkian wizard signature that'll be worth a whole bunch of money when he gets famous. I bet you he's gonna be a great dragon master or something like that.

"See what I mean?" Jack chuckled as Hiccup blushed bright red at the special request. "Steph's really fascinated with Dragons and Bark. You don't have to you know."

"I yeah….just…I probably will." Hiccup finished lamely causing the three friends to chuckle at his bright red face.

"Ok what else does it say?" Rapunzel asked, already liking Stephanie from the letter.

There's so many things I want to say that would take up more letters and since you were a butt face with writing back, I normally wouldn't give in so easily, but since the wizarding postal system sucks I'll get back to your original request.

"Finally." Jack smiled as he took back the letter from Merida and smiled at Rapunzel, before smirking at Hiccup. "Now you'll see how awesome Steph is when it comes to gathering information.

Ok let's start with the photo. I was honestly surprise that you guys found a photo from the Battle of Hogwarts seeing that most of the photos were confiscated by the ministry due to their graphicness. Is that even a word? Anyways, the ones that featured Harry Potter were the only ones showed to the public but there were several photos that were leaked, alerting the community that there were also other pictures from the battle.

Of course when that happened, things got messy and the ministry ordered the photos to either get destroyed or placed in a vault at the Ministry of magic. They've only released about five photos since then.

Gah, I'm getting off track. Ok so the woman in the photo graph wasn't a student from Hogwarts—I checked my parents yearbook—but she was witch from the Order. Sadly, any information that is tied with the Order s monitored closely and since you came to me for help I figured you didn't want anyone knowing about the photograph.

"So she doesn't know either?" Rapunzel asked, feeling hopeless already, before Jack placed a hand on her shoulder.

"There's still more hold on."

However, yours truly knows a lot about wizarding families and their signature traits that made it possible to narrow it down. But even I got confused at the information I found. According to the book of ancient wizarding families, there are several families that have blue eyes and blond hair traits. They're mostly located in Germany though and during the rising of the Dark Lord several years ago they tended to side with him instead of the Order. However, the most unique trait the woman had was her long hair.

Yeah I know silly right, but there are rumors about certain German witches that their hair grows abnormally long, giving them a strange power. Sadly again, this was more myth based than anything. As you know—err rather Merida will probably know—when a witch grows her hair longer, it's supposed to show the power the witch is able to produce. Mostly noble witches grow their hair long in hopes of gaining that extra power like the myth said about the German witches. However, it's not exactly provable and the myth stayed a myth really.

However, it is said that the witches with long hair were known as powerful healers so I quickly went to look for German Family that were known for their healing abilities.

There was a German family that I found out that had very similar traits, but there wasn't much I could find that wasn't general knowledge. All I know is that they're very reclusive, great at charms, healing spells and they only came out to help in the Battle of Hogwarts. Their family name starts with an H I know that but I couldn't find the rest! Ugh it was so frustrating. You probably have a better chance of asking an adult or ghost that witnessed the fight about the girl in the photo. However, be cautious. The family is reclusive for a reason and I don't want your minds to be obliterated because your found out some sacred family secret. I'll try to find some more answers on my own and I'll write to you if I do find anything else. Who knows, maybe it is Rapunzel's long lost relative or maybe it's not. Either way, best of luck to you and your friends in solving this mystery.

Oh and before I go, there's also one thing I forgot to tell you.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU MADE THE GOD DAMN FU—

"Ok, and that's that!" Jack quickly closed the letter before Merida could grab it and stuffed it into his robe, "But man, that was a lot of information." Jack huffed as he grabbed the rest of the letters that his parents had written to him.

"You weren't kidding about her." Hiccup muttered, still shell shocked at the information. "She is like a walking library."

"But a German family?" Rapunzel asked as she took the photograph that Stephanie gave back—apparently she made copies—and stared at it longer. "Do I look German to you?"

"Um…."

"Honestly, I don' know wha a typical German looks like."

"I don't know." All of her friends replied, causing Rapunzel to giggle.

"Well, at least it's a start. Perhaps we can take Stephanie's advice and start asking around." Rapunzel smiled causing the rest of her friends to smile as well. "We'll find out the mysterious person in no time!"

"Yeah!"

Suddenly the bell to signal the start of class rang causing all four of them to pale considerable. They quickly looked around them only to notice that the remaining students—about four or five—running out the Great Hall.

"We're late! Come on Hic! You and I have Charms next and Professor Lee said she wasn't going to let us in if we're late again!" Jack shouted, putting a piece of toast into his mouth before grabbing his bags and pulled on Hiccup's hand as they ran out of the Great hall, trying to get to class on the second floor.

"We hav history don' we?" Merida sighed as Rapunzel quickly packed her things and quickly pushed a reluctant Merida out of the Great Hall to their only Ghost Professor.

"Merida come on!" Rapunzel shouted out, before chuckling to herself at the surprise turn of events. If everything went well enough, perhaps she would gain more family members and have a bigger gathering at Christmas this year. It would be a nice thought. However, the other member of the Gothel family wasn't as thrilled when she found out that her daughter might have found a member of the Himmel family. Especially when she could not do anything to stop her daughter from further investigating. Or could she?

And done! Wow, this took a while to write out but I hope you are pleased with this chapter. Things are finally rolling and yeah. If you have any ideas you want to see or something you think needs to be included please feel free to PM me. But other than that, please tell me what you think of the chapter, reviews, favs, and alerts are welcomed.
