A/N: Here is year two, following my previous fic, The Big Four and the Wizarding School, it will most definitely contain spoilers for that fic, so I suggest reading that one first. I also will not be updating this for some time, probably until December, maybe even January. I just posted it so people who liked the first one can find it easily. This is just a teaser chapter.
I don't own Tangled, Brave, How To Train Your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians or Hogwarts.
Prologue
"This is the story of how I died." -E
"Flynn Rider that is not true! You aren't even in this story!" -M
"I'm there…sort of." -E
"Nope, you said it yourself last year. You won't be back in the story until Rapunzel's 18th." -J
"Oh, come on. I was doing things. Not just sitting around waiting for her to turn 18." -E
"So what? Just because you didn't pop out of existence does not mean you can narrate." -M
"I asked him to." -R
"Why?" -H
"As an impartial party, I figured his narration would be more reliable." -R
"Flynn? Reliable? He doesn't even have consistency with his own name." -J
"Rapunzel might have a point. Let's give him a chance. If he tries to exaggerate we can always interrupt him." -H
"Fine. I'm game." -M
"Me, too." -J
"Good. Eugene?" -R
"Once upon a time, because if I told you exactly when you'd start saying I had 'historical inaccuracies,' there lived two princesses, the heir to a tribe of Vikings and a poor boy from England. One princess, the princess of the sun kingdom, was taken as a baby. Though her parents recovered her, they decided to hide her away in a tower to ensure that she was hidden from the world, at least until she could protect herself. She could accomplish this by going to Hogwarts.
The other princess, from the Scottish Highlands, was the oldest child of the muggle king and queen. When they found out their daughter was a witch they agreed she could attend Hogwarts only if she focused on her training to become queen over the summer. The princess was so eager to learn magic she agreed.
The heir to the tribe had thought he was a squib, a disgrace to his all magic tribe, until he got the letter from Hogwarts, the first school that thought it could teach him how to cast spells.
The poor boy, just a kid having fun, had always figured he'd have a normal life, working hard to support his mother and sister, but the letter from Hogwarts changed all that.
Last year, the four students experienced their first year at Hogwarts. The highland princess learned to put aside her prejudice for Slytherins (more or less). The heir cast his first spell with his left hand, the poor boy found friends, and the sun princess found freedom.
Along the way to friendship, they had adventures, including one in the forest, where they encountered the terrifying, black sand horses, also called Nightmares. The only unfortunate part was that none of them ever found out where the Nightmares came from.
I was the only one who knew that the mysterious man behind the plot was none other than Professor Pitch Black. But before I could warn the first years, he expelled me.
Now they are poised to enter their second year … I only hope they can survive without my help."
