AN: Hi.
Terezi scowled as she, Karkat and Eridan were forced, AKA, the veil was overheating somehow and needed time to cool down, to go to Hogwarts… This was going to suck…
Later
"TH1S 1TCH3S. TH1S HURTS MY NOS3. TH1S 1S JUST DUMB." Terezi kept complaining, squirming out of different sets of robes. Apparently trolls were much more sensitive, not that she'd realised before… "OW! WH4T W4S TH4T?!" She exclaimed as a needle penetrated her skin, and the glamour that was hiding her horns and grey skin, unfortunately unable to hide her eyes…
"Just a simple needle dear…" The woman in charge, Maklin or something… Malkin? Yeah, Malkin, said as she levitated the needle towards her, frowning as she examined the teal liquid within. "That's odd…" She muttered, performing tests on it.
"W-Well, perhaps Miss Pyrope could simply find a material?" McGonagall suggested nervously, having been informed of the aliens alienness.
"1 W4NT TH1S ON3." Terezi instantly said, holding some incredibly soft fabric.
"I can do that… It may cost a little extra, it's a different material but I can make it work dear." Malkin agreed, taking it from Terezi's arms and taking it to the back room.
"GREAT JOB TEREZI, YOU MANAGED TO FUCK UP EVEN CLOTHES. TRULY YOU ARE POWERFUL." Karkat said sarcastically, wearing his regular sweater and joggers, holding his robes in a bag that was carried over his shoulder.
"wwhat a great achievvement." Eridan snarked, wearing his regular scarf, cape included, he had been told his scarf might need changing but he refused, multiple times.
"W3LL TH3Y WON'T L3T M3 L1CK TH3 F4BR1CS… 1T'S D1FF1CULT…" She explained sheepishly. "SO, WH4T'S N3XT?" She asked McGonagall.
"Next is wands." She told the trio, getting a snort from Eridan, again…
"magic is fake and evveryone knowws that" Eridan said, again.
"Well on this planet it is real. And you need a wand." McGonagall told him sternly.
"fine wwhy not go along wwith the crazy fuckin aliens" Eridan grumbled as they left the shop with Terezi's robes, McGonagall keeping them away from the chalk licking alien, and headed to the last shop, Ollivanders, which really needed an apostrophe…
The four walked in, Terezi holding her cane in a death grip, having been knocked around more than Karkat's arms were flailed on a regular day on the way in. "DO W3 H4V3 TO DO TH4T 4G41N? 1'M GONN4 B3 S1CK…" Terezi complained, incredibly pale in the face and sweating more than Equius.
"I'm afraid so Miss Pyrope." McGonagall apologised, looking smug, not that Terezi could tell…
"MUSCLEBEASTSHIT. YOU'RE MAKING HER GO THROUGH IT FOR FUN AREN'T YOU?" Karkat argued, noticing the smug look, his skin getting slightly lighter, still unnoticeable, especially under the glamour.
"Of course I am no-" McGonagall was cut off by Terezi having a sudden sneezing fit, sending the dust in the room everywhere.
"Ah, my apologies for the dust, must clean up later." A voice said from behind Eridan, everyone quickly turning to see who spoke, except Terezi who kept sneezing… An old man was standing before them, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop. "Now I do believe you are here for wands?" He asked, getting nods from the two trolls that weren't sneezing. "Good! Let's start with… You!" He decided, pointing at Karkat as he grabbed a large stack of wands.
"CAN WE SPEED THIS UP? I'M CONSTANTLY GETTING SHOVED, TEREZI WON'T STOP SNEEZING ON ME, I NEED THE BATHROOM AND I THINK I WANT TO PUNCH TEREZI FOR THE RUMBLE SPHERE'S COMMENTS." Karkat asked annoyed.
"No. This is traditional… Maybe this one? Give it a wave." The new old coot said, handing Karkat a wand, which he snatched out of his hands after a second, replacing it with a new one, which he snatched quickly. This went on for several minutes. "Hmm… Perhaps?" He mused, ducking out of sight for a moment and coming up with three boxes, each with a zodiac sign on them… Libra, Cancer and Aquarius… "I've had these my entire life, apparently they were commissioned by three strange people, with grey skin, they were made for three ancestors… Perhaps these would work?" He pondered, pushing the Cancer box towards Karkat, who took the wand out, noting the bend at the front and end, making look like half of the cancer sign…
Karkat gave it a small wave, getting a rush of warmth that filled his body, the glamour failing for a split second, revealing his horns for a single moment… "THIS IS THE ONE." He decided, holding it carefully…
Eridan was next, taking the Aquarius wand, which, surprise, surprise, looked like half of the Aquarius symbol, waving it he smelt the smell of the ocean, the glamour failing as well for a split second… "wwell i think this is the one." He noted.
Terezi, with a large amount of paper shoved up her nostrils, took the Libra wand, which was perfectly straight except for a large lump on one side, waving it she smelt the smell of red chalk, a feeling of satisfaction… It was better than the phoenix wand… "TH1S 1S 1T." She said contently, and then sneezed, the paper flying out. They quickly paid for the wands and left…
Later
"so ter, do wwe tell kar?" Eridan asked quietly, talking of course, about Terezi's past life.
"NO, 1'D R4TH3R NOT. 1 DON'T R3M3MB3R MUCH 4NYW4Y." She decided, getting her cane out and opening it up, placing her wand inside of the hollow space that it held.
Eridan did the same with his gun, pulling the pointy bit off, and shoving the wand inside, where it was stored safely away from the beams.
"HEY, DID YOU KNOW THIS COUNTS AS A SICKLE?" Karkat asked, managing to equip his wand to his strife deck, as the shape classed it as sicklekind.
"4W3SOM3!" Terezi exclaimed, leaning against the wall.
"so i noticed somethin." Eridan said, getting his phone out and showing Karkat. "wwe aren't agin and time isn't movvin on alternia" He explained.
"WH4T? HOW DO3S TH4T WORK?" Terezi asked confused.
"wwell its movvin but vvery slowwly." He corrected.
"SO THAT MEANS THAT WE'LL BE THE SAME AGE WHEN WE GET BACK?" Karkat asked curiously.
"i think so" Eridan agreed, giving a shrug.
Later
Terezi sat on the train with Karkat and Eridan, holding her cane in her hands, since apparently she needed to use her cane for everything, meaning she couldn't use her sniffer as much as she usually did…
Alternia
Kanaya watched Gamzee serenade Tavros, unsure of what to do… She had asked 'GT' who seemed familiar oddly familiar, to come and help…
"HEY, THIS THE RIGHT PLACE?" A voice asked her, it sounded like Karkat but… Different…
"Karkat?" She asked, turning around to see Karkat, but he was older looking, looking much more banged up…
"EH… IT'S COMPLICATED, DON'T TELL CG KARKAT WHAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, BUT I'LL EXPLAIN LATER… FOR NOW THOUGH…" The older Karkat walked over to Gamzee and Tavros, pinching specific nerves on their shoulders which knocked them out. "THERE. PROBLEM SOLVED. THEY'LL WAKE UP IN A WHILE WITH HEADACHES BUT THAT'S ALL." He told her.
"Karkat, Why Do You Look So… Different?" She asked confused.
"IT'S A LONG STORY, SHORT VERSION IS I TIME TRAVELLED TO FIX SOME STUFF, CALL ME KARKATSPRITE FOR NOW, DON'T ASKED WHY, ALSO PRESS PAST KARKAT'S HORN NEXT TIME YOU SEE HIM, IT'LL BE HILARIOUS." He explained, pulling his hood down.
"Why?" She asked, unsure what pressing his horn would do.
"IT'LL BE HILARIOUS, IT WON'T HURT HIM, JUST MAKE ME LAUGH BECAUSE IT'LL BE FUNNY. UH… OH YEAH, DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS, I'D RATHER KEEP THIS SECRET UNTIL A CERTAIN EVENT COMES UP." He told her.
Earth
Eridan checked on the veil… Still cooling down…
"W3LL?"
"still coolin"
"FUCK! THIS SUCKS!" Karkat complained, lying on the seats.
"1 JUST W4NT3D MY GOGD4MN 4BLUT1ON TR4P!" Terezi shouted annoyed. "4ND 1 ST1LL H4V3N'T H4D 1T!" She added, angrily.
"YOU COULD JUST HAVE ONE LATER." Karkat pointed out.
"BUT 1T'S NOT TH3 S4M3… 1 CUSTOM1S3D M1N3, TH3 W4T3R SM3LLS L1K3 R3D CH4LK!" She complained.
"Who are you?" A voice asked arrogantly, sounding a little like Eridan if he didn't have his silly little accent. "I don't recognise you…" Terezi sniffed the air, smelling mint chocolate, and a lot of shampoo…
"YEAH WELL THAT'S B-" Karkat tried to snark, being cut off by Eridan.
"wwe're third years, this is our first year here" Eridan explained, sounding even haughtier and arrogant than normal.
"What are your names then?"
"1'M T3R3Z1 PYROP3." Terezi said, facing the wrong way, not that she could tell.
"KARKAT VANTAS." Karkat grumbled, rubbing his mouth.
"eridan ampora" Eridan finished, looking at mint chocolate and shampoo haughtily.
"I don't recognise those names… Are you mudbloods?!" The voice asked in disgust.
"WH4T'S 4 MUDBLOOD?" Terezi asked confused.
"LIKE, ARADIA OR TAVROS?" Karkat pondered.
"You are aren't you! Wizards born from Muggles? I bet you are…" The voice muttered in horror.
"OH, Y34H SUR3." Terezi agreed.
The door slammed shut.
"… D1D M1NT CHOCOL4T3 L34V3?" Terezi asked.
"YEAH, HE DID." Karkat agreed.
"W3LL TH4T'S JUST RUD3…" She grumbled.
Later
Terezi, Eridan and Karkat entered the great hall, the smells flooding the girl's nose… And there was a strange smell, gloopy… Not really all there… Dead in a way…
There were screams… What was going on?
"WH4T'S GO1NG ON?" Terezi hissed to Eridan.
"wwell there's wweird see-through thins floatin around" He hissed back. "kinda like ghosts" He noted.
"OH. GOT 1T." She hissed to him, "TH4NKS."
She felt herself being pushed by a large group, Eridan holding onto her arm so she wouldn't get left behind, to her embarrassment.
The three waited a while, letting the students get sorted, standing at the doorway bored.
"Now, I have a quick announcement to make, we have three new students, third years, who shall be sorted today." Dumbledore called out, as the three names were called out.
"Ampora, Eridan!" McGonagall called out, Eridan heading to the hat.
After a few minutes, the hat decided… "RAVENCLAW!"
Eridan went to a table, leaving Terezi with only Karkat for guidance.
"Vantas, Karkat!" Was next…
"HUFFLEPUFF!" Karkat made his way to a different Table, leaving Terezi with just her cane, alone…
"Pyrope, Terezi!" Terezi didn't move… She couldn't figure out how to get there… "Miss Pyrope?" McGonagall asked confused.
Terezi shivered, she was scared, she didn't know where to go…
"TEREZI, YOU OK?" Karkat asked confused.
"W-WH3R3 DO 1 GO?" She asked, terrified.
"YOU JUST GO FORWARDS, I'LL TELL YOU WHEN TO STOP." Karkat told her.
"O-OK4Y…" She took a step forwards, holding her cane in front of her carefully, and then another… And more steps…
"STOP, YOU'RE AT THE STEPS, SO BE CAREFUL." Karkat warned her, as she made her way up and onto the stool.
"My, my… Back again Mister Potter? Or, Miss Pyrope, as you know call yourself… Hmmm… You're very different now aren't you?" A voice said in her head… The hat. "Let's see… Ravenclaw? Perhaps, but you would get attacked within the first few minutes… So…" It trailed off, before shouting, "SLYTHERIN!"
Terezi stood up shakily, unsure of where to go… Nobody was talking… Nobody was telling her where to go… "WH3R3 DO 1 GO?" She asked, terrified.
"FUCK IT." Karkat decided, getting up and guiding Terezi to a table, helping her to sit down before walking off.
Terezi sat there, with no idea of what she was going to do…
