Well, I hope you all enjoy this new update.
-Salem Academy, Sept. 1988-
Harry and Draco looked in awe, seeing the grand entrance of Salem Academy.
After a heartwarming goodbye to their family, the twins headed inside and followed the other first years before spotting Marucho.
"Hey, Marucho," greeted Harry.
Marucho smiled, "Hey guys. I can't wait to learn about magic. Is there a particular subject you guys want to learn?"
"Potions," said Harry.
"Charms for me," said Draco.
"Interesting. Looks like Harry took after your dad while Draco took after your mom," said Marucho.
The Snape twins just grinned.
"Well, I can't wait to learn about the history between the no-maj and magical," said Marucho.
The three and the other first years entered the Diner Hall.
There are multiple tables that fit about eight people and were covered with white cloths. In the middle is a picture of a dragon and at the bottom is a wand and a sword.
On the side walls are stained glass windows that had different designs on them.
Six designs represent an element, a forest with a pixie and fairy, a dragon with other magical creatures, a Mage with a crystal staff on hand, a Sorcerer who was shooting lighting out of his hands, and an Enchanter holding his hands together with his eyes closed.
Lastly, looking up at the ceiling, it looked like staring at space itself, and the stars were in different colors.
A woman with long brown braided hair walked over to the platform.
She smiled, "Welcome, I'm Headmistress Jayden Lexine and your Headmaster is my husband, Shinto Lexine. Before we begin, the magical forest is forbidden unless you are with a professor or have permission. Fourth years, tryouts will be posted in two weeks for any no-majs and magical sports. Lastly, Night classes will start next week for nocturnal magical beings. Now, find a table and let's begin the feast."
Draco looked around and spotted a familiar pink hair girl.
He grinned before grabbing his brother's hand and dragged him over to where the pink hair girl was sitting.
"Hey there Liz," greeted Draco, sitting next to the young vampire.
"This is my twin, Harry. Harry, this is Lizzie Aono. The muggleborn vampire I told you about."
"So, you're the famous Liz. Nice to meet yea," Harry rubbed his arm, "Man Dray, did you really have to pull me that hard? I hope Marucho can find us. He was going to find the others."
Lizzie giggled, "Pleasure to meet you too. Who's Marucho? A friend?"
Just before the Snape twins could reply, a slight older brunette appeared next to Harry and swings his arm around the younger twin's shoulder.
"There you are Snape twins. We've been looking for ya."
"Sorry Dan. Blame my brother," Harry smirked, "He wanted to find his 'vampire' girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend!" Draco snapped while Lizzie blushed. "She is my friend! There's a huge difference of being a friend and being a couple, Ry!"
"Right," teased Harry and Dan.
That's when Diana hit Dan on the head.
The brunette hissed, "Why do you have to hit so hard, Diana?!"
"Do you really want me to answer?" she replied.
Dan's eye just twitched before pouting while Diana sat down next to Lizzie.
"So little vampire, why are you here and not attending your parent's school?" Diana asked.
Lizzie pouted, "How does everyone know who my family is around here?"
"The Aono's are well-known in our World History books. It mentions about the famous fight your parents had with Alucard."
"Oh," murmured Lizzie. "And you are?"
"Shun and the identical brunettes are Dan and Diana. Behind me are Lelouch, Skylar, Yusei, and Vienna."
"Greetings, Aono," said Vienna, taking a seat next to Diana.
"I'm not surprise that you didn't know about your parents being famous. Heck, I didn't know my parents were well-known either until I was informed about my status before coming to the academy."
"And that's?" Lizzie wondered.
"Duchess. The Lexine's are practically royalty… just like the Aono's in the Vampire clan," replied Vienna.
"The Lexine's ancestors helped build Ilvermorny. I heard that one of the heads is a descendant to Salazar Slytherin," said Lelouch.
"Our parents went to Hogwarts, but Salazar was labeled as a dark wizard," said Draco.
"What? Why?" Yusei asked.
"Supposedly, Salazar hated the muggleborns," replied Harry. "He wouldn't allow any muggleborns to be sorted into his house."
Lizzie frowned, "Now I'm glad that I came here. My parents were going to send me to Hogwarts, but we got word that they hardly accept any magical beings. Then, my aunt went there to see how the school runs… she didn't like how the students treated the other students. She figured I would've been treated horribly if I would've gone there."
"Dad was treated horrible because he was a Slytherin and thought to be a dark wizard," said Harry. "He was pranked by some arrogant and rotten Gryffindors."
"That's horrible! And the parents didn't do anything about it?!" Vienna said.
The Snape twins shook their heads.
Vienna gritted her teeth, "And yet Hogwarts is labeled the best wizarding school in Scotland?"
The Snape twins shrugged, continuing to eat and chat with their new friends.
When the feast finished, Dan and Shun lead the Snape twins and Marucho to the Elemental floor while Vienna lead Lizzie to the Magical Creature house.
Then, she, Lelouch, Skylar, Diana and Yusei went to the Nature floor.
The dorms are on different floors and in each room, there are three beds minus the Prefects and Heads who get their own suite.
For the Head Commanders, they use the entire top floor as a suite but have special doors that lead to their respected houses and oversee the younger students.
In the morning, the Head Commanders guided the first years to the Diner Hall for breakfast.
Harry found a slightly larger table and saved it for the others.
It didn't take long for the rest to join him.
"That was the most horrible night I've ever had!" Draco said dramatically, hugging his twin.
"What's with him?" Lelouch asked.
Harry sighed, "Ever since I can remember, we were never separated. We play together, prank together, sleep together, etc."
"Oh my!" Lizzie giggled, "You two are connected to the bone. Do you have the same connection, Dan, and Diana?"
The Kuso twins shook their heads, negatively.
Dan snorted, "We're complete opposites."
"He's a complete clueless idiot. He's…"
Diana was interrupted when Dan covered her mouth.
"Okay, okay, they get it! You don't have to continue!"
The Snape twins and the others laughed before a paper appeared in front of them.
Harry took it and looked at the top to see it was his class schedule.

"The only class we have different is the element," stated Harry, looking at Draco's schedule. "What language are we going to learn?"
"Spanish," replied Vienna. "Second year, Latin. Third year, French. Fourth year and up get to select which language they want to learn."
"There's German, Russian, Danish, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, Dutch and Italian," said Skylar.
"Oh, Chinese! The letter characters are completely different than Japanese!" Lizzie said, excitedly.
"Dutch and Russian will be my pick," said Draco.
"Danish and Italian for me," said Harry.
Dan grinned, "What you should be excited about is getting your dragon partner."
The Snape twins and Marucho grinned while Lizzie was confused.
The pink hair girl tilted her head, "You get… a dragon partner? Will it work for me? I mean I'm a magical being and a dragon is a magical creature."
"I believe it will, even the Necromancers get one, of course, they are dead," assured Vienna.
The Snape twins, Marucho and Lizzie made a face.
"What Martial Arts we are learning first?" Draco asked.
"The basics," replied Lelouch.
"Second year, you'll learn on how to use a weapon. First, you'll be using wooded weapons then switched to no-majs and magical ones," continued Yusei.
"Sweet!" said the Snape twins.
Lizzie frowned, "Why don't I have Martial Arts in my schedule?"
"That's because you'll be learning your combat in Night class since your strength is a lot stronger than a human," replied Diana.
"Oh, I see," said Lizzie.
After breakfast, the Head Commanders guided the first years to their classes.
World History was taught by a man with short brown hair name Wayne Martinez.
Charms was, of course, taught by the Snape's twins' mother, Lillian.
In Elements, for fire users was taught by a man with brownish-red hair name Marcus Carter. For water users, it was taught by a woman with light blue hair name Jacinta Rivera. And for nature users, it was taught by a woman with long, light brown hair name Fiona Flores.
Potions was taught by a woman with short black hair with blue highlights name Joanne Patterson.
And in Herbology was taught by a man with blue hair with black highlights name Jarrod Patterson, Joanne's older brother.
Dark & Light was taught by a man with gray hair name Christen Adams.
Skylar warned them about students falling asleep in his class, so it is best to have an automatic pen to write down the lecture just in case.
Transformation was taught by a woman with dark brown hair with light brown highlights name Candice Turner.
Martial Arts was taught by a Japanese bald man, Jian Chong.
Lelouch and Yusei warned them that he was the strictest professor and told them to pay attention, no matter what.
His detentions are brutal.
Lastly, Language was taught by a woman with black hair name Sharon Nelson.
Vienna and Diana told them she was quite fluent in almost all languages, and it almost took her about twenty years to master them all.
Soon, the Snape twins got used to the routine of their schedule and can't wait to choose their elective classes in their third year.
Not to mention getting their dragon partners in their seventh year.
