Hogwarts AU- In The Beginning
aka why did I do this it was late gomen for all my spelling mistakes and such, so basically this is my hc for the beginning of everything with some backstory.
First, there was a girl. Born Aradia Whit, mud blood by wizard standards. Her parents thought of her weird, confused and afraid of her abilities. When the day for her letter to arrive came, the whole family would agree it was a Godsend. She went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw for her quick thinking and wit. Years passed, she was picked on by the other children. Saying her hair color was odd or she was just different. Two years later, she would meet two boys who would change her life.
Secondly, there was a wintry haired boy, with peppery eyebrows and almost splotchy skin. His parents died when he was young, being slaughtered by the late followers of the Dark Lord. His poor mother, who was a muggle, getting caught in the crossfire with his dad. He almost had a sister, but she was adopted when they were put in the orphanage. He still loves with who he calls his "Guardians", North being his legal one. At age eleven he too would join the class at Hogwarts, a proud Slytherin later. This is where he meets a best friend and a love, but we haven't mentioned him yet.
Lastly, there was a freckled boy, pureblood and a sickly child. Most didn't think he would make it, but he proved them all wrong. At the age of four, his mother passed, his father who could never connect to him raising the boy. But there was a time when he was so proud of him, the day he received his own letter. To show his adoration, his father bought a cat for him, the same day his robes were purchased.
If it hadn't been for him going to collect his things that day, he'd never have met a best friend. The brunette had been going to pay for his robes, when a tall, white haired boy ran straight into him, sending them both to the floor. He was holding a cage, a multi-colored owl inside(A gift from his guardian Toothiana, one of her birds to remember them by) which clattered to the floor. After helping him up, our littler of the two introduce himself.
"Hiccup Haddock, and you? Let me guess, you've never been around here, have you?" It was true, ever since his parents died, he didn't have anything to do with wizards anymore. The letter was a surprise to everyone, and clearly he had no idea what to do. "Jack. Jack Frost, and shopping isn't my strong suit." The boy said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. And so, the freckled boy and his father took Jack under their wing, from buying cauldrons to picking a wand. They were both unaware that the very boy who lived, who was to begin his first year too, was in Madam Malkins that very same day.
On September 1st, our heroes met at Platform 9 3/4, sitting on the train together to begin the long journey. At this same time, our heroine was riding with her fellow Ravenclaws, not knowing that two people mere meters away were going to be her lifeline. They talked as they rode, forming a connection immediately, laughing over experiences they had and then moving to pets. Hiccup owned a ink black cat with vivid green eyes, named Toothless for its one broken tooth. Jack had named his owl "Baby Tooth" since it was one of Toothiana's little babies practically.
Those two were connected at the hip all through orientation, only separating when Hic was put into Hufflepuff, Jack into Slytherin. The white haired took a seat next to the one and only "Draco Malfoy", Hic taking his place next to a "Hannah Abbott". When the feast ended, the boys met up again, talking as they were supposed to be following their prefects. Hiccup's eye caught a pink haired girl getting pushed by a dark haired one, nasty things being spouted off. Sure she was older, but that didn't mean he couldn't help. Suddenly not interested in Jack's commentary on sledding, the boy wandered over to the Ravenclaws, speaking in a loud tone to adress them all. "Excuse me, mind leaving her alone?"
They snickered, after all they'd nothing to fear of a first year Hufflepuff of all houses. He puffed out his cheeks, giving a huff. His friend joined him, speaking louder to the girls. "Hey, he said leave 'er be. You guys deaf or something?" One of the boys in the group approached him, getting in his face to clearly say, "What if I don't?" Immediately there was a fight, children dispersing from it faster than light. Brave little Hic cut in the middle, forcing them apart as prefects ran over to help. Once the two were hauled off, he turned to the girl, giving a gentle smile. "Are you okay? Sorry bout the whole uh, deal there. Do you want me to walk you back to your dorm just in case?" The first year asked, the pink haired girl laughed first, beginning to walk towards him.
"I'd like that, 'm Aradia by the way." She said, leading the way back. "Hiccup and that was Jack, we're first years, if you couldn't tell already." He said lightly, eyes lighting up. The first older kid who was nice to him, what a nice change. "Second year. Thanks for saving me back there, you and him've got balls to stand up to them, I might just take you under my wing around here." She said, only half teasing. "He was alright, for a Slytherin anyways, and you're pretty cool for a puff."
His freckled face split in half with a smile, they'd already reached the dormitory. "I'd like that, and I'm sure he would too."
It was only the beginning of one amazing term, and more unforgettable ones to come.
