Author's note: Before I begin this, I just want to talk a little bit about the timeframe in this fic. Okay, so I checked out about Hogwarts' History earlier and I saw that Hogwarts was founded in 9th or 10th century (I choose 9th) and the main characters will attend Hogwarts in 1000s or something like that...I know about the animation's time frame but this is an AU and a fanfiction so please don't go into details about that...And since Rapunzel doesn't have a last name, I have added a last name in her acceptance letter so please forgive me about that. Oh, and there are other characters beside the big four, too...Now, without further delay, let's begin this.

"MOM! DAD! I DID IT! I HAVE IT!" An excited voice startled the whole silent village. Several crows cried out and flew away from their resting places just as a golden blurt rushed passed them. A blonde haired girl jumped up and down happily and ran into her house. She had to tell her parents about this!
"Calm down, dear…take a deep breath. Tell me, what happened that made you so happy?" A brown haired woman chuckled, putting a hand on her daughter's shoulder. The little girl, Rapunzel, took a deep breath and grinned. She held up a parchment for her mother to see.
"Mom, I just got my Hogwarts letter five minutes ago!" The girl squealed and gave her mother the acceptance letter, a proud look on her face.
"Thank you, dear…Let's take a look at this together, shall we?" The mother sat down on a nearby chair and rolled open the scroll. Wrapping a hand protectively around her daughter, the woman pulled Rapunzel closed.
"Okay…" The girl nodded and leaned against her mother. Her green eyes shone brightly when her mother began reading the letter, soaking in her mother's every word. She couldn't wait to show this to her father. Where was he anyway? Maybe he's in the lab?
"Hmm…did something happen? You two look happy…" A male's voice rang clearly across the room causing Rapunzel and her mother to look up. The child jumped out of her mother's embrace and raced toward her father, hugging his waist.
"Dad! I got my letter this morning!" She said with a happy smile. The father looked at his wife to confirm the information, his eyes twinkled with joy. The woman only smiled "It's true, love…Our Rapunzel has grown up so fast…We'll be old and wrinkled real soon…"
The little girl paused and turned her head to look at her mother. There was a frown on her bright face. "I won't let you become old…I will find a medicine so that you won't die!" She said seriously, crossing her arms together.
Her father only chuckled and patted his daughter's blonde head "Everyone has to die, princess…It's Mother Nature's rule… Many people has tried to change that… they met horrible consequences, you know…"
"But…" Rapunzel whispered; Her lips trembled slightly. She didn't want her parents to die or become old. She wanted them to live with her forever and ever.
"Let's not think about such things anymore, okay? Today's your happy day…" Her mother touched Rapunzel's face, bringing her back to reality. The woman's word calmed her child down considerably.
"Okay…" Rapunzel finally said and let her mother lead her to the dining room. The little girl's hair shone for the briefest second under the sunlight.
And so, Hogwarts had her first infamous troublemaker.

"Frostbite… look what I have for you…" A middle aged man walked into the room holding a yellow piece of paper lazily. His smooth gray hair and watery green eyes strangely reminded people of a rabbit. However, the hard edge in his eyes promised pain and suffering to anyone who dared to say it out loud.
"Uncle Kangaroo!" An albino boy exclaimed, his deep blue eyes sparkled mischievously. He stiffened a giggled when his uncle's right eye twitched. He should do this more often. It was so funny teasing his uncle like this.
"Frostbite, for the last time, it's either uncle Bunnymund or uncle Aster…stop calling me uncle Kangaroo!" The man, Bunnymund, hit the boy's head lightly, earning a pout from his nephew.
"Then stop calling me Frostbite already…I'm Jack!" The boy retorted, his eyes narrowed and he stood up, dusting his brown trousers challengingly.
"In your dream, ankle bitter… I will stop calling you Frostbite when you admit that you're a spoiled brat and a royal pain the backside…" Bunnymund laughed when Jack snorted and took a sharp breath.
"Then I will stop calling you uncle Kangaroo when you admit to everybody that you look like a rabbit!" Jack grinned evilly. Serve uncle Kangaroo right for calling him a spoiled brat.
Bunnymund gasped dramatically and leaned closer, faced to face with Jack. "Oh you didn't just say that…" Jack was so dead… so very dead. No one called him a bunny or a kangaroo and got away with it.
"But I think I just did…a cute, fluffy, cuddling bunny…" Jack taunted, also leaning closer to his uncle's face. They cracked their knuckles and began growling, neither of them was willing to back down.
"Enough you two… I don't want to destroy this house when I just rebuilt it last week…" A booming voice said. Bunnymund and Jack snorted and turned around to face the speaker.
"Father…" Jack greeted with a small smile, his eyes still glared at Bunnymund every now and then.
"G'day, mate…" Bunnymund also greeted the large man, ignored Jack completely much to the boy's annoyance.
"Bunny… son…" Nicolas North returned their greetings with a nod. It should be also noted that Nicolas North was the only person who could call Bunnymund 'Bunny' without receiving a beating.
"I thought you have something to show him, Bunny?" North smiled, gesturing the letter in Bunnymund's hand.
"Oh, right, I forgot…here you are, you annoying Frostbite…" Bunnymund grumbled before shoving the letter into Jack's hand. "Congratulation, you have a spot at Hogwarts…"
"R-really…?" Jack asked uncertainly before skimming the first few lines of the letter. Much to Bunnymund's surprise and North's amusement, the white haired boy leaped forward and hugged his uncle tightly.
"Thank you, Uncle Aster…" He whispered gratefully. Bunnymund smiled and rubbed his nephew's back. His nephew was a good kid… he should have been more opened to other people.
"You're welcome, Frostbite…you're welcome…"
"Aww… look at you two, so cute together…" A female voice squeaked and Bunnymund immediately let go of Jack, a slight blush on his face. He forgot North was still in the room and now, Tooth, too? Oh god, he had destroyed his tough reputation in one minute…
"Mother!" Jack yelled and fidgeted when his mother pressed a kiss on his forehead. This was so embarrassing.
"Haha, let's go celebrate this event… my son's eleven years old! He will have the talk and a girlfriend in no time…" North laughed and pulled his family into the dining room.
"Will uncle Pitch be here?" Jack asked, his pale cheeks still had two red spots.
"Pitch?...Ah, no, he's busy with his research…as usual, you know..but he sent you a present earlier… your cousin will be there though…" North replied, scratching his beard.
"Sandy? This is awesome! Come one, father… What are we waiting for?" Jack asked brightly and ran into the room to greet his favorite cousin.
The second troublemaker had made his way into Hogwarts.

"Merida! Come down here this instance, young lady…" A voice yelled and moments later, a red haired girl hovered in front of an older woman, her bushy hair flew in every direction. She was sitting on a broomstick, her feet dangling a few inches above the ground.
"When are you going to tell me about your Hogwarts letter?" The woman demanded angrily, holding out a yellow scroll for Merida to see.
"…err, soon?" Merida offered, ready to dodge if her mother did anything more dramatic than this. She didn't mean to forget about the letter… she was just… busy playing Quidditch… She would tell her Mother soon anyway so… why made a fuss about this?
"But…Mother, I don't want to study… I want to become a professional Quidditch player!" Merida whined and flinched slightly when her mother gave her a sharp look.
"You will study at Hogwarts, young lady… Quidditch is for boys only…And… what are you holding? A beater's bait? Give me that" The woman, lady Elinor, tried to take the bait away from her daughter but the young girl held it in a strong grip.
"No, mother… I will listen to you and go to Hogwarts… but I won't give up on Quidditch or archery anytime soon…" Merida gritted her teeth and flew away, escaping her mother's grasp.
"Merida, come back! Merida!" Lady Elinor yelled, trying to call her daughter back to no avail. She shook her head and casted a look at her three sons, who were trying to do a simple lumos without much success…
"Merida…what am I supposed to do with you?" She sighed and walked into the mansion, the letter was still being gripped tightly in her hand.
A reluctant princess had to go to Hogwarts…Oh boy…this was not a good sign.

Dear Mister Haddock,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1st September. We await your owl by no later than 31st July.

"Hiccup! Help me with this, will you?" A man's voice called out and the boy in question came forth, stumbling on the way. "Y-yes, sir…" He was scrawny and weak-looking, his unruly brown red hair covered his eyes and he tripped again, landing face flat in front of the man.
"I'm here…" He said breathlessly, still felt a little faint from all the work he had to do that morning. Panting heavily, Hiccup rubbed his face with his hands when he heard someone knocking the door.
"Open the door, Hiccup…I'm a little busy here…" The man, Gobber, ordered curtly and Hiccup had to stiffen a groan. He hated this time of the year. So many orders he had to finish.
"How may I help you?" Hiccup asked politely and then blinked in surprise when he saw a tiny man in front of the house. Well, maybe not tiny but small, very small compared to the normal Vikings Hiccup often saw.
"Um… Who are you, sir?" Hiccup asked hesitantly and the man smiled, his bald head titled to the side.
"I'm Tsar Lunar…Or the Man in the Moon as some others often call me…and I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry" The man said casually.
Hiccup blinked…once, twice… The man was still there, smiling at him gently. Okay, he had officially gone crazy. Must be because of all the work he had to do. He just didn't see a bald man in front of his house, claiming to be a headmaster of a magical school.
"I've gone insane…" Hiccup mumbled and closed the door with a loud slam. However, not even two second after he had closed the door, it was opened magically again.
"I know it's a bit of shocking news but…listen to me…" The man, Lunar, tried to explain to a clueless Hiccup. He gave Hiccup a letter which the boy dumbly took and opened it with shaky hands.
"There's a h-headmaster of a magical school in front of our house!" Hiccup called to Gobber and the man's eyebrow rose but he didn't respond, waiting for Gobber to come out.
"Wha-?" Gobber came out slowly and unsurely. He stared at the man in front of him and asked suspiciously "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Tsar Lunar…" The man patiently repeated and began to give both Hiccup and Gobber a lengthy explanation about this magical school, Hogwarts. He had even made a spoon dance to prove his point.
"Okay, listen here, you weirdo magical headmaster…" Gobber said, crossing his hands, interrupting another show by the man in the moon.
"I don't care what magical school you're teaching or how wonderful magic really is… Hiccup here won't go to that school… He'll be trained in the way of a Viking…" The man growled, trying to appear intimidating.
Headmaster Lunar just looked around the room, ignored Gobber completely. His eyes stopped when he reached the pictures of several Viking killing a dragon. "How about something like this… You let Mr. Haddock go to Hogwarts…and when he officially becomes a wizard… he will kill a dragon?"
"Wait, you mean… dragons are real?" Gobber and Hiccup asked, clearly surprised.
The headmaster only nodded sagely "As real as you and me…There are many kinds of dragons, too…" Gobber stared at the bald man, thinking hard. Hiccup, on the other hand, was praying to the gods that he wouldn't have to go to this school. He was weak enough as it was. How could he possibly kill a dragon? Or prove his worth as a Viking?
"You've got yourself a deal, Headmaster Lunar…" Gobber agreed and Hiccup groaned. He hated his life. The man in the moon's smile widened. Things had gone a lot smoother than he first thought.
The last troublemaker finally made his appearance.
END prologue.
Author's note: Forgive me for the shortness of this chapter… this is more like a prologue, explaining how each character has their Hogwarts letter and their reactions so that you all can prepare what to expect later. Tsar Lunar is the Man in the Moon's real name…or so Wikipedia has told me. I haven't read the books yet so forgive me if I describe him wrong. Give me a review to support me, please? Thank you very much… You are all very lovely…
