Welcome to my AU! This story is going to skip over certain parts of time as the Big Four go through their seven years at Hogwarts. [I do intend to go through all seven] There will be Quidditch [obviously, who can't have Quidditch?], and a lot of drabbles. Any requests for stupidity and romance drabbling are welcome.

[As far as romance requests go] I am big Mericcup and Jacunzel shipper, so those will be my main pairings. BUT going out on dates with other characters or other characters going on dates are open in my mind.

It was almost eleven o'clock at Platform 9 3/4. Hundreds of wizarding families were present to send their children off for another year of school, and some for the first time. One small, nervous eleven year-old, with long golden hair that was braided down to her waist, stood by her mother saying last goodbyes.

"Now remember Rapunzel," Her mother reminded her for the tenth time that morning. "I want you to write everyday. Make sure to keep your grades up, and most importantly-"

"Keep my hair safe." Rapunzel whispered.

"Yes, good flower." Gothel sighed as the train whistle blew. "I love you very much darling."

"I love you more."

"I love you most." The conversation ended with a kiss on the forehead.

Rapunzel hurried onto the train, awkwardly hitting everything with her trunk as she passed. She walking through each train car, it seemed every compartment was full.

Oh no. She inwardly moaned. I haven't even started school and I'm already alone. Mother always told her she would make her best friends on the train. Rapunzel had given up hope by the time she reached the last compartment.

There was only one person inside. Rapunzel couldn't see her face at first because of all her hair, it was bushy and a fire orange color. The girl didn't seem to troubled at all by being alone in the back, in fact she looked like she was rather enjoying it.

Rapunzel cleared her throat. "Um, excuse me?"

The girl took her gaze from the window and stared at the newcomer. "Can aye help you?" She asked in a thick Scottish accent.

"I was wondering if I could sit here?" Rapunzel asked politely.

"Can't ya seet somewhere else?" The girl very poorly suppressed a groan.

"There isn't a somewhere else."

"Really? Ack, alright then." The girl slumped against her seat.

Rapunzel quickly set her stuff in the overhead compartment. At least she had a place to sit, she could make friends in class or in her house. But she at least ought to be polite.

"Thank you. My name is Rapunzel." She held her hand out accordingly.

"Merida." She shook back reluctantly.

"What house do wanted to be sorted into?"

"Is there one that will let meh climb a tree?"

"Um, I don't think any of them care."

"Then aye don' care."

"Well you know, there's a lot more to each house." Rapunzel suddenly stopped. "Wait, are you muggle-born?"

"An' wot if aye was?"

"Nothing, it would just explain not having a preference. I mean, everyone has a preference."

"Really? Wot's yers?"

"Mother always says that Hufflepuff is the best for me."

"Wot is a Huff-ill-puff?"

"Mother calls it the house of the loyal, honest, and kind."

"An' wot ar dee others?"

Rapunzel spent the whole train ride explaining to Merida about Hogwarts and the wizarding world. She never noticed the great difference between wizard and muggle culture until that moment. She also never noticed how close they were to Hogwarts until the train started stopping. Both the girl scrambled to throw their robs over their clothes before everyone started exiting the train.

They piled out and followed the voice of someone calling first years to boats. Far to the left there was a large man, he was holding a hook in his right hand for some reason. But when she got closer, Rapunzel realized, to her horror, it was his hand. She looked away immediately, not wanting to be caught staring.

Suddenly the man called out, "Oi Hiccup! Yer got yerself some friends, that's good!"

Rapunzel didn't know who he was referring to. But a large amount of laughter came from her right.

Crossing the lake and entering Hogwarts was a blur of amazement and wonder. Her mother had described the castle of course, but it didn't equal in comparison at all.

When they had all gathered inside, an elegant lady met them. She had a kind smile, her teeth almost blinding. Her outfit was in favor of feathers, so many of them in different colors sewn into her robes. But, what Rapunzel found most fascinating about her, were her violet eyes.

"Welcome first years!" She exclaimed. "I am Professor Toothinia, or if you wish, Professor Tooth. In a few minutes, you will sorted into your houses. Please stay here and talk among yourselves while we prepare for your entrance."

As soon as she left, voices filled the room.

"What do you think it'll be?"

"Will it hurt?"

"My brother said we have to fight a troll!"

"We're eleven! They won't make us fight a troll!"

Merida poked Rapunzel in the shoulder. "Did that moether of yers tell ya wot we're goin' to do?"

Rapunzel nodded "She said it's really easy. There's this thing called the Sorting Hat, they put it on your head and it looks into your heart or something and looks at what you value, and what talents of a certain house you have."

"That dos'nt sound easy."

Rapunzel was reassuring her when Professor Tooth came back. She said to follow her to the Great Hall.

The idea of the Great Hall always confused Rapunzel when her mother talked about it. How could it look like it was outside and still be inside? That question was answered the moment she stepped in. It was absolutely breathtaking. The stars and candles shone brightly above them. Starlight and candlelight, twice as romantic. The thought made her giggle.

Her attention was drawn away from the ceiling by Professor Tooth calling them to the front. She had placed a small stool in front of everyone and in her hands, held an old hat, and a list.

"When I call your name, please come up and place the Sorting Hat on your head. When you have been sorted, please move to your house table, which will be the one cheering the loudest." She chuckled.

Anna Arendelle was called first. She walked, rather skipped, up to the Sorting Hat. She plopped it on her head, her feet swaying back and forth as she waited for the hat to make a decision. After what must have been a long contemplation, the hat shouted Gryffindor. Anna even more happy than before, frolicked to her table.

More people got called up, and more people got sorted. Rapunzel tried to keep tract of everyone's names. but she forgot them all when she heard her name be called in a clear voice.

"Rapunzel Corona!"

She gulped her nerves down and walked up to the Sorting Hat.

She wasn't sure what she was expecting, but it talking to her wasn't it.

Miss Corona. If I recall correctly, your mother was in Slytherin.

She said I belonged in Hufflepuff.

I can see you fitting in there very easily. Alright, you shall be in "HUFFLEPUFF!"

Rapunzel smiled as her table cheered loudly for her. She sat down eagerly, waiting for Merida's turn.

"Merida Dunbroch!"

Merida strolled up to the Sorting Hat. After watching the first few people do it, she knew it was going to be easy. And it would be easier since she didn't care where she ended up, neither would her parents.

Well she did care a little. No offense to Rapunzel, but the Hufflepuffs seemed like their idea of fun was to play board games and make crafts. Which wasn't her thing.

Her main concern was getting the bloody thing over her curls. But as it turned out, she didn't have to worry about that. The moment she began to put it on, she heard a soft chuckle. Someone said Oh yes it's quite obvious "GRIFFINDOR!"

"Jack Frost!"

Jack memorized the faces of everyone who sniggered or made any sign of amusement at his name. His first victims. He had made a priority over the past few years to live up to his name. Well, for anyone who found it funny. Anyone in his old muggle school that ever made fun of him for it, would find their locker frozen shut, or their drink would freeze right as they would take a sip. No one ever knew how he could do it, even the teachers feared him. Now he would have to be a little less obvious, anyone here could get him back with something worse than a frozen locker.

A planner I see.

It took all of Jack's self control not to jump off the stool.

You have a very brilliant mind. Channeled the right way, you would make a excellent Ravenclaw.

Ravenclaw is for nerds. Jack thought

Then it better be "SLYTHERIN!"

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III!"

Hiccup winced. Why did they have to use his full name? His dad probably told them to do it. He inwardly groaned. Less than an hour at this school and he'd already been embarrassed by Gobber, now his own name was betraying him.

He walked up to the Sorting Hat slowly. His dad had told him he would be in Gryffindor for sure, "Just like your old man!" he had said. He knew everyone else from Berk was going to be in Gryffindor, everyone but him.

He placed the hat on his head. He knew where he was going to be.

So sure? The Hat asked. You could be in Gryffindor, you have much bravery to survive your upbringing.

But of course, you have the mind beyond your entire village. The puzzles you have accomplished in your eleven years would impress many. So it comes to where do you put yourself? With the ones that value the mind? Or stay with the ones you are one of?

Hiccup glanced at the group from Berk, he had never fit in with them, becoming a Gryffindor wouldn't change that.

I'm not one of them. He thought.

Very well, that makes you "RAVENCLAW!"
