A Cross Between Legends

Chapter Four (Word Count: 340)

"So that's actually Merlin and King – Prince – Arthur... Merlin's pants!"* Ron exclaimed.

"Yes; they are quite odd, aren't they?" Merlin looked down at the 'jeans' he had been given. They looked as coarse as his usual attire, but were surprisingly comfortable for their appearance.

"It's a figure of wizard speech," Hermione explained, buttering some bread. "You say it when you're surprised or shocked... although, it was inspired by you, I guess." Merlin threw a smug look at the scowling Prince. He took the bread Hermione offered him and tried it cautiously. Naturally, he recognised the bread, but not the yellow spread atop it.

It tasted nice, but the bread itself... so much softer than that of Camelot; even the best quality reserved for royalty and nobility (Merlin had eaten some from Arthur's plate once, when he wasn't looking) was incomparable to it.

He tried to coax Arthur into trying the wonder made of dough, but he only looked at it suspiciously. Merlin rolled his eyes; he knew Arthur's distrust of magic was far from gone, but it was quite exasperating.

"So, what are we doing today?" Merlin asked, walking with Arthur and the other three across the castle grounds. The familiar thrum of magic was running through him; so many wizards and witches in the same place was bound to have an effect on the ground they stood upon.

"Well, it's Saturday, which means no lessons."

"But me and Ron usually practice flying, before seeing Hagrid."

"Flying?" Merlin asked curiously. "What spell do you use for that?"

"We don't," Ron laughed. "We use broomsticks. Anybody could, if they knew the potential. I suppose they haven't been invented in your time?"

"No."

"Why don't you try?" Harry asked, able to see the obvious longing in Merlin. "I could probably get a couple of the Chasers to lend you theirs; the school ones are still kind of rubbish."

"Really?"

"Of course; both of you can try." Seeing Arthur about to protest, he added "It's one of the best feelings in the world."

Remember, in days gone past? I spied you through a wall of glass~

Hadouken! – Mecha Love. Also amazing... What can I say, I'm obsessed with the artist xD

*Credit where credit's due – Deatheateregg came up with the idea of Ron exclaiming 'Merlin's beard!' in front of Merlin himself, but I thought Merlin's thoughts on 'weird' trousers would be just as funny xD

So here it is! The planets cry!

Anyway, sorry it took me so damn long... I've been working on other projects, which I won't release 'til it's finished, and I've also been taking a break from writing after rewriting my trilogy xD

We'll rip the stellar sky! Make way when worlds collide!

Anyway, I made a decision – this will just be a fluff story of happenings when Merlin and Arthur are transported (by Merlin's mistake) to Hogwarts... I might publish a prequel, at some point, but I really doubt.

But yeah, no semblance of a story at all xD

Hope you liked it, and tell me what you think! :3

You wanted the world; you wanted it all~
