Disney's Hogwarts

Chapter Four: Sweety?

Merida:

That evening, we all sat at the table. Father, my mother, my three evil brothers and me. The only sound I heard were the boys playing with their food because 'it tastes gross!' and my dad eating a piece of swine (what was pretty loud, cuz he smacked a lot). 

I looked to my right and I saw my mother sitting quite stiff and quiet. She was very nervous to break the news to her husband. So was I. For the first time in forever, I had not even layed my bow on the table, I hadnt start eating right away, and I didn't talk enthousiasticly about my day. 

My dad noticed us sitting here, quiet and not-eating. He was used to mom being like that but not me. So he looked up, swallowed his food and then said

"Are ya gonna tell me what's wrong or nah?"

I looked at my mother, and she spoke up to my dad.

"Something very important happened today, my dear..."

Uh-oh. Big mistake. Mother never called dad 'sweetie' or 'my dear', unless something bad was going on.

My father raised his eyebrows and then looked at the devils, who all of the sudden had become quiet, listening carefully.

"All righy, boys, up to bed!" dad said "If you go to bed now, I'll learn you how to fight with a sword tomorrow!"

As quick as one of my arrows, my little brothers ran upstairs and my father looked at us again. Mom cleared her throat.

"Sweetie? You remember where I come from, right?" Dad nodded and she continued speaking.

"Do you remember my family? And their..." she hesitated "...issues?"

Hold on. Were we telling the same story here? I didn't understand where this was going anymore. What has her family to do with me being a wizard?

"Yeah, of course! How could I forget the place I used to sneak out to? They're just like you, not? Your family?"

My mother gave my father a nervous smile.

"Well," she said "Merida appears to have taken over my magical genes. She is a witch, too, deary!"

For a moment, both my dad and I were speechless. Then at the same time we screamed out "WHAT???"

"IS MER A WIZARD?!" my dad yelled.

"ARE YOU A WITCH?" I yelled at my mother.

She stood up from her seat and started pacing up en down the room. 

"Yes and yes." she said "This morning I recieved a letter from Hogwarts Wizarding School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Merida has been invited to go to school there and learn the magical arts." She looked at dad, and then at me.

"And yes, I used to be a witch, but when your dad and I fell in love, I decided I would never use magic again!"

I stared at her, eyes wide open. "But..." I finally stumbled "But... Why? Why would you give up magic? If you are a witch, that's practically who you are!"

She smiled and walked towards my father.

"In his Clan, witchcraft was, and still is, forbidden. Your father was very brave to sneak out every time he wanted to visit me. When he proposed, we decided it would be better if I would give up magic. I gladly did!" She gave my father a kiss on his cheek.

"Why?" I still didn't get why somebody would give up their being to be with somebody else.

"Because when you love somebody you truely love, you will do anything to be together." She gave father another kiss and I looked away.

"Mom, please, not here!"

She giggled. GIGGLED! My mother had just giggled!

"Anyhow, Mer," my father said to me "you are a witch, and if you want to go to that school, I'll let you!"

"But dad! That is against Clan Rules!"

"Yes, Mer, I know..." he whispered "and that is why we need to keep it quiet! We will announce you will be making very long trips so you can see our land yourself!" He looked really proud at himself for making this plan. My mother, suprisingly, nodded.

"That is a great idea, honey! We will work out the details later, but first: Merida, you and I are going shopping tomorrow!"she gleamed of enthousiasm."I will take you to Diagon Alley!"
