I do not own…
Chapter Fourteen:
The Diary & The unknown brother
Dude walked around the castle happily, as usual. Boy did he miss this place. There were so many new places to dig up and so many smell to sniff. Speaking smells, Dude stopped in his tracks when he smelled a familiar scent. He growled when he saw his enemy at the bottom of the stairs. Mrs. Norris meowed before hissing at the Crup. It didn't take long for Dude to take off and started chasing after the cat with a few barks. Mrs. Norris let out a yowl before running off. The two ran all the way down the stairs and a few hallways before they entered the trophy room. Mrs. Norris jumped up on one of the suited armors but it wasn't a study one so the armor tilted over. Dude was lucky to move out of the way when it fell. He was gonna continue chasing after the cat till the helmet hit one of the pillars and a secret small door opened. Curioused, he looked inside and sniffed around.
He smelled leather and paper.
Very old leather and paper.
'It looks like a book. Is it a book.' Dude wondered 'Man, this would be so much easier if I wasn't color blind. Wait... my human, Vanessa, she would know.'
After getting the so called book into his mouth he quickly left to find his human. He was able to get to the portrait and the Fat Lady let him in as she knew who he belonged to. When he got into the common room he heard his human arguing with one of her house mates.
"Wood, I've told you weeks ago...I have to help my brother with his Coronation." Vanessa said in annoyance as she walked up the stairs.
"But what if you don't come back in time for the first game. Your our best chaser." Oliver said as he follow after her. "And I was hoping to start my new training early in the morning. How are you going to know the plays?"
"Wood, mate, you're overreacting again." George said from the couch.
"Yeah, don't get your knitters in a twist, mate." Fred snickered
Oliver glared at them from below.
"It's just for three weeks. I'll be able to make it to the training." Vanessa said before opening the girls dorm room. "Now leave me alone and let me pack. Or do you want me to tell Professor McGonagall you've become a peeping-tom, perv."
Fred and Geroge was on the floor, laughing from below as they heard everything. Dude hurried up the stairs and passed by a blushing wide-eyed Oliver before entering the room. Vanessa smirked before shutting the door.
"I swear, that guy is too obsessed with Quidditch." She muttered as she got to her room.
Taking out her wand, she started packing up quickly. Dude hopped on her bed and placed the book down before barking to get her attention.
"Mmm...whatcha got there, Dude?" She asked
She sat down on the bed and scratched his head before looking at what he found. It looked like a journal. A very old one. She looked at the bottom to see who it belonged to and couldn't believe who it was.
Victoria Athena Tepes, her grandmother from her father side as Dumbledore told her before on her second year. From what he told her she was a transfer student from Romania. Knowing that this belonged to her the young princess wanted to it to see what she was like but it wouldn't open. She tried with her wand to open it but it still wouldn't budge.
"Boy, she really didn't want others to see what was inside." She said
There was a smooth gold latch in the middle of the cover and when she pressed her thumb on it, it prick her.
"Ow. Hey." She glared as she sucked the blood that dripped out of her thumb.
Her eyes widen when the design on covers started to glow blood red and opened up.
"Strange security lock. It might be her diary or something." She said
On the first page there was a picture of her grandmother and Vanessa's eyes widen. The girl in the picture looked just like the princess. Only difference is the house crest on Victoria's uniform. She was in Slytherin House.
"No way." She gasped
She sat down comfortably and started reading the first draft.
Sept 1, 1942
The train ride was quiet and peaceful that I started drawing the sights that I've seen. The lands were beautiful but not as much as my homeland. I miss it so much but it was for the best. After a few hours we arrived a Hogwarts and the grand castle was beautiful. Once I met with Headmaster Dippet, he escorted me to the Great Hall where everyone was waiting for the Sorting Ceremony. When all the first years were done Headmaster Dippet called my name. Everyone's eyes were on me, but I was used to these kind of things and have learned to ignore the stares. I held my head up high and walked up to the stool with grace and poise. Once I sat down on the tiny stool the headmaster placed the old hat on my head.
'Hmm...difficult you are my dear. You are very creative...ambition. Cunning but brave. You think before you act. A thirst for knowledge. You're loyal and you know no fear. Hmm...it would seem you would do well for all the houses but one stands out the most...SLYTHERIN!' The hat declared
The table, the one that I believed were the Slytherin erupted in a cheer. I smiled as I stood up and walked over to my house. I hoped to find at least one friend there.
"Welcome to Slytherin, Miss Tepes."
I looked across the table and on the left side was a tall, dark-haired boy around my age that gave me a kind smile.
"Thank you, Mr…." I said
"Riddle. The name is Tom Riddle and our house Prefect. I'll be showing you around." He said
I thank him again before returning to the feast. I managed to make one friend, a girl named Mariana during it before it was time to head to our dorms. It was dark but cozy. So far my first day arriving here was great and I can't wait for the next day.
Vanessa was going to read more till Angelina came in the room and told her that it was lunch time. So not wanting to leave this out she place the diary in her trunk before heading to lunch.

On the Isle Mal and the Vk's were on the streets causing mayhem and having fun. When they were done a woman that was pulling a wagon with her child in it. Mal smirked as she took the kids' lollipop and everyone laughed. The laughing only lasted for a few seconds before running away. Mal sighed as she knew why they would sucry off that quickly.
"Hi, mom." Mal said as she turned around.
Once her guards moved out of the way Maleficent showed herself.
"Stealing candy, Mal?" Maleficent mocked "I'm so disappointed."
"It was from a baby."Mal stated
This made her mother smirked.
"That's my nasty little girl." She said
She took the lollipop from Mal and spit on it before placing it under her armpit. Mal mentally cringed at that.
"Give it back to the dreadful creature." Maleficent ordered one of her goons.
"Mom." Mal cringed
"It's the deets, Mal, that makes the difference between mean and truly evil." Maleficent stated "When I was your age I was cursing entire kingdoms."
At the last sentence Mal mimicked her, which earned her a glare.
"Where is your brother?" Maleficent asked
"You know he likes going off on his own and looting people blind." Mal said with annoyance.
Though it was all an act as she didn't want to tell their mother where he really went.
"That's my cunning boy. So confident. You could learn a few things from him. Walk with me, dear." Maleficent darkly smiled. "See, I'm trying to teach you two the things that really counts. How to be me."
"I know that. And Hunter knows that too. And I'll do better." Mal said
Maleficent smiled at this before letting out a glee screech.
"Oh. There's news. I buried the lead. You, your brother and you four have been chosen to go to a different school, in Auradon." She announced
Evie, Carlos and Jay tried to run for it but didn't get far as Maleficent's goons stopped them.
"What? I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses!" Mal said
"And prefect Princes." Evie smiled
Mal gave her a look that made Evie change her mind and said "Ugh."
"Yeah, I don't do uniforms." Jay stated "Unless it's leather. You feel me?"
He turned to Carlos for a high-five but the poor boy wasn't paying attention.
"I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon." Carlos said "Mom said that they're rabid pack animals who eat boys that don't behave."
Jay came up behind him started barking that freaked the white haired boy out.
"Yeah, mom, we're not going." Mal stated
"Oh, you're thinking small, pumpkin. It's all about world domination." Maleficent said before yelling. "Knuckleheads, one of you find Hunter! Mal, come."
Mal rolled her eyes and followed after her mother. When she heard an owl hooting she looked up and saw it flying out of the barrier.
Waking in the busy crowd was a tall, dark-haired and devilishly handsome 14 year old boy. Just like his step-sister, Hunter was feared because of who their mother was. Everyone cleared far from him as he passes by but he was still able to steal them without anyone noticing and reading another letter his friend Malcom had sent him. Yes, at first he was mad that his best friend had left him but was secretly happy for him. The wizards' family were more abusive than his own mother, or worst if so. Every week he would get a letter from him and Malcom would talk all about his new school Hogwarts, about the new friends he made and the girl he was crushing on. Not only that, Malcom would send him some gifts. Like now, he sent Hunter some jelly beans that had the strangest flavors he had ever tasted. After trying a few one made him make face in discussed and spit it out.
'Ugh, that tasted like soap.' Hunter thought
He wasn't sure if it was just one of Malcom's old jokes so he just place the candy box in his pocket and headed inside Hades lair. None of the ogres, goblins, ghouls or other minions bother to stop working as he walked through the tunnels. He stopped in one of the tunnels where Hades was.
"Hey dad." Hunter said
"Hunt? You know that you're not supposed to be here? Your mother would be displeased by this." Hade said
"Which is why I do it." Hunter grinned
That made Hade smirk in pride.
"That's my boy." He smirked
"My Lord! My Lord!" Pain and Panic screamed as the two came running in the tunnel.
Both Hunter and Hades sighed in annoyance at their ridiculous cries. Then a large black snake popped out of nowhere and hissed at them; which scared them and the two creatures quickly ran away. They ended up tripped and ended up tumbling down the tunnel. Panic horns ended up piercing Pain butt when they stopped. Hunter chuckled and leaned down a little to retrieve his pet snake.
"Good work, Morgana." Hunter said
"Thank yooouu, Masster." Morgana hissed
"What is it this time?" Hades glared at his minions.
"It's Maleficent, your dark and cruelness...she's looking for Hunter, sir." Pain said and then wince when he pulled Panic horns off his butt.
"Great, what does she want this time." Hunter sighed before handing Hades his half of what he stole.
"Hunter I told you, you don't have to…" Hades said
"Save it dad, see you next time, hopefully." Hunter said before leaving
He may be Maleficent's favorite child but he hated her as she reminded him of his real mother that abandoned him. The Underworld God was the one that found him when he was two years old, holding on for dear life on a floating raft. He was like the father Hunter never had, even after he left them.
Once he made it to Maleficent's somewhat home/castle. Morgana slide up around him once she saw that Curella De Vil was in the same room. The mad woman had once tried to skinned her into a pair of boots till Hunter saved her. Hunter didn't mind as he glared at the woman and stood next to Mal as they waited for their mom to talk about her so called plan.
"You will go. You will find Fairy Godmothers' wand and you will bring me back her magic wand." Maleficent said as sat on her throne and filed her nails. "Easy-Peasy."
"What's in it for us?" Mal asked
"Matching thrones. His-Hers and Hers crowns." Maleficent shrugged
"Mother, I believe she met what's in it for all of us." Hunter said
She tossed filler away and ushered Mal and Hunter to come closer.
"It's all about the three of us, darlings. Do you enjoy watching innocent people suffer?" She asked
"Well, yeah, I mean, who doesn't…" Mal smiled
"Well then get me the wand." Maleficent cut her off. "Then the three of us can see that and so much more. And with that wand and my scepter, I will be able to bend both good and evil to my will!"
"Our will." Evil Queen corrected her.
Curella and Jafar both nodded in agreement. Mal and Hunter just looked at each other and sighed in annoyance.
"Our will, our will." Maleficent nodded before snapping her fingers at her two kids. "And if you two refuse, you're both grounded for the rest of your life."
"What...mom…" Mal and Hunter both said
She snapped her fingers again before she and Mal had one of their glowing eye staring contests. Hunter rolled his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his brow as he knew who was gonna win. When Mal blinked and caved, Maleficent won once again.
"Evie. My little evil-ette in training." Evil Queen called
The Evil Queen's daughter hurried over towards her mother and sat down.
"You just find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother in-law wing." Evil Queen said
"And lots and lots of mirrors." They both said
"No laughing. Wrinkles." Evil Queen said
Hunter rolled his eyes.
"Well, they're not taking my Carlos, because I'd miss him too much." Curella pouted
"Really mom?" Carlos smiled
"Yes. Who would touch up my roots? Fluff my fur and scrape the bunions off my feet?" She said
"Yeah, maybe a new school wouldn't be the worst thing." Carlos groaned
Carlos, they have dogs in Auradon." Curella reminded him.
"Oh no, I'm not going!" Carlos feared
"Well, Jay isn't going either." Jafar said "I need him to stock the shelves in my store."
They stepped aside so Jay could give him his loot that he stole. One object was an oil lamp and Jafar actually thought it had a genie in it.
"What a fooolll?" Morgana hissed
"Indeed." Hunter muttered
"Well, Evie not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow." Evil Queen said as she plucked a little piece of hair from Evie's brow with tweezers.
That's when Maleficent lost it and reminded them of the good old days when people used to fear them. About how they wanted revenge on the hero's that place them on the Isle. That seemed to have gotten them back on track. The Evil Queen gave Evie her old magic mirror, which is now a small hand mirror. Then Maleficent gave Mal and Hunter her old spell book. The two objects may not work on the Isle because of the barrier but they will once they're out in Auradon. When they were done they send them off so that they could pack up their stuff as they were leaving tomorrow.
Maleficent ushered her two kids towards the balcony as they looked at the kingdoms across the barrier.
"The future of the free world rests on your shoulders." Maleficent said as she placed her arms around their shoulders. "Don't blow it."
"Wow, no pressure there." Hunter muttered once their mother left.
