Hello people! This is our first story up here, and well….its gonna be a series. A big series if you like it! It's about Camelot's school of knighthood and chivalry, where all of our favourite Merlin characters (excluding Lancelot) grow up together and have lots of fun!

Merlin likes butterflies, Gaius is a hippie, Leon likes ponies and Gwaine has massive eye-brows! Slightly random – but all a bit of fun! :D

Enjoy! Oh, and shout out to Jenny-Cat-Miaow on deviant art xx peace!

Camelot's School of Knighthood and Chivalry spread legendary rumours across the four kingdoms. Gleaming white towers, marble hallways, spiral staircases and vibrant theatres - not to mention the food.

Parents would do whatever it would take to get their child into the school: change job, religion, move house or even pretend to die for some sympathy. Or just die for real. Admittedly, some of the methods used were slightly extreme, but after all, it would be worth for their child to graduate from the best school in history.

Except, things weren't like that now.

"Sire, all of the children have arrived." a young knight reassured the king, indicating towards the five young boys sat on the step, drawing on the palace floors. Uther frowned. "Sire, with respect, I feel that the people may have realised about the few lies we've been telling. You know, about the expert teachers, marble hallways, luxury chambers and the food-" the knight was silenced by a raise of Uthers hand.

"So...this is it." he asked bluntly, scratching his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I suppose it's less mouths to feed, easier to teach in a small group as well, isn't it?" the young knight shrugged nervously at Uthers thoughts. "less punishments, detentions...but even so quite an embarrassment for my son, don't you think?" he wavered his hand at the five year old boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes, a dull bored expression written over his face as he sat with the other young boys. The young knight nodded in agreement.

"Yes, only these poor, poor children…" he glanced at the group suspiciously – one asleep on the steps with massive eye-brows, another hugging a wooden toy horse close to his chest; another making a necklace of small stones and the other just…well, sitting there. Drawing on the floor, now and again.

"Right, stand up!" Uther demanded the five children suddenly with a clap of his hands. They all stood up apart from the one who was asleep – Arthur kicked him, and he immediately jumped up with a grin on this face. "Tell me your names then you little coochie woochie little children…" Uther cooed, Arthur rolling his eyes at his father's vain attempt of making a good impression on the new students. Uther turned to the child with the toy horse first. "What's your name?" he asked gently.

"l-l-Leon…" he stammered uncertainly, clutching the toy tighter to his chest. Uther smiled ridiculously.

"Leon, Aww. Well Leon, that's a beautiful toy you've got there – can I look at it?" Leons eyes widened as Uther went to take the horse. Leon promptly screamed and ran behind one of the pillars tears welling up in his eyes. "oh." Uther muttered with a slight frown. He turned to the next boy, the one who had been asleep only moments before. He was also the one with massive eye-brows. "Hello, what's your name?" he asked slightly intimidated by the eyebrows.

"Gwaaiiinneeee" he replied with a massive yawn, stretching out his arms, and flopping back onto the steps and falling asleep straight away. Uther sent a confused frown at his knight, who shrugged aimlessly back. So far, things could've gone…better. With a brave sigh, he turned to another boy, the one who had been making the necklace. He hoped this time; he would make a sensible conversation. Keep it cool, Uther. Keep it cool man.

"Hi! I'm the king – who are you?" the young knight who stood behind him groaned and hit his forehead with the palm of his hand. The young boy looked up confusedly, but smiled anyway.

"I'm Elyan, sire." He replied politely, bowing before the king. Uther smiled, pleased with himself that he'd got it right this time. Now he knew how to deal with the children, he'd be fine with the next one.

"Hiiii! I like grapes – what do you like? What is your name?" he asked slowly and loudly. Leon who was still hiding behind the pillar burst into tears. The boy who stood before him was quite tall for his age, but no more confident. He had blond hair, and shaking finger that fumbled nervously with hem of his t-shirt.

"Percival." He muttered glumly. Uther ignored any emotion in the boy's voice, and stood up and clapped his hands.

"Oh isn't this lovely? We all know each other and are all so happy!" he grinned. The boys remained silent, apart from the rather loud snores from Gwaine. Percival walked calmly over to where Leon hid to see what was wrong with the other child. "Gaius!" he yelled loudly, and only moments later a young man with long blond hair covering his eyes walked in with slumped shoulders wearing a bright pink tunic and green shorts. Uther rolled his eyes.

"Gaius you useless physician! I want you to take our new students to their chambers, and explain about it all." He demanded curtly. He held a hand in front of his mouth as he added in a hushed voice – "some of them are a bit delicate." Eyes flicking from Leon and Percival to Gwaine's sleeping figure. Gaius sighed and blew a rainbow coloured gum-bubble.

"Alright man, cool it ya know? Like, just like feel the, like, love – yeah man? Take a chill pill, peaceee." He grinned lopsidedly, walking out the door again and beckoning the children to follow, all of which did apart from Gwaine. Arthur turned back, and grabbing the boy by his arms – dragged him out of the room.

It was going to be an interesting education for sure.
