//------------------------------// // What is Twilight's Destiny? // Story: Magical Mysteries of Hogwarts: Darkness Rises // by Juliaa //------------------------------// After yesterday's events Twilight went to retell everything to Sunset where they decided they will go to Dumbledore the next day. ______ Flashback Twilight was only 4 years old. She has been raising water by her own hand, "I'll take over the world with magic!" she played. "Look! Our little Twilight has already learnt some magic!" Her mother was proud. "Without a wand too! That's very impressive!" her dad agreed. "She really is something special!" Twilight was happy seeing her parents this proud which encouraged her to continue to do and study magic. She was 10 now, studying hard and being best in her classes. She was taking extra magical lessons to prepare herself for magic schools. "I have never seen someone be this good at magic at this age!" Headmaster of Twilight's old school said. "It's practically impossible!" "She always had a talent for magic!" Her mom was always so proud of her. "We want to send her to Hogwarts when the time comes!" he said and Twilight's parents were surprised and happy. "I'm sure she would love that!" they agreed. At 16 she was getting ready to go to her first year at Hogwarts. "But what if I'm not good enough? What if everyone there is better and I am the worst there is?" she was in panic. "Twily, you'll do amazing! No one has ever been as good as you at this age! You haven't even started and you already know so much!" her brother gave her a hug which calmed her down. Maybe she was worrying for nothing? Maybe it will all somehow work out in the end. ______ Present "And that's how Big Mac and I got into another fight because he wasn't born a wizard but always dreamt about being one like Apple Bloom and me were," Applejack was retelling events that happened at home during summer to Rainbow and Rarity. "That's awkward", was all Rainbow could say. After a few momemts of silence Applejack asked: "so Rarity, I heard you found a boyfriend over summer?" "Oh I did!" Rarity got excited. She still didn't get a chance to share the new with the girls. "His name is Capper!" "Capper?" both girls were shocked. "You mean that mysterious guy that no one knows about?" Rainbow asked. Everybody has heard about Capper. They saw him around. He was a year above them, Slytherin, almost always quiet, just sitting around observing everyone and being at right places at right times. He didn't have friends and no one knew anything about him but he somehow always knew everything about everyone. No one ever had any classes with him, or at least that's what the rumors said. They also said he would only ever appear at lunch and dinner, occassionally around hallways, but otherwise no one would know where he was. He wasn't in Slytherin common room, wasn't in class, he just always disappeared. "Yes, that's him!" Rarity was smiling proudly. "And how exactly did you manage to meet him?" Applejack was very confused. "Oh, we met over the fact we both love cats!" she said excited. "That doesn't explain anything..." "We were both at an "Adopt a Cat" event." "Strange. I heard he only meets people he wants to meet! Nothing is ever accidental with this guy!" Rainbow shared. "Oh come on! Those are just rumors! He is a very sweet guy", Rarity was in her thoughts. "If you say so," Applejack was unsure and a bit worried about her friend but as long as she was happy she trusted her judgment. _______ Twilight and Sunset were at Dumbeldore's office as well as Hagrid, McGonagall, Dumbledore and Snape. "Impossible!" Snape was strict and angry as always. "I swear, it was her I saw!" Twilight was trying to convince him. "Hogwarts is one of the safest places to be! We are taking care that no one enters, let alone She Who Shall Not Be Named!" Snape explained. "Nothing is impossible!" Dumbledore cut in. "Old friend, you know very well Hogwarts hides a lot of mysteries. If a student saw her, even if it was a dream, we should take it as a warning." "Thank you!" Sunset said before Twilight had a chance. "Thank you for letting us know!" McGonagall said. "However, we need to ask you to go back to your common rooms and forget about this. Leave this problem to us." "Forget? But how can we forget what she said?" Sunset again said before Twilight had the chance to say anything. She was too shocked to speak. "What does it mean her destiny? What is Twilight's destiny?" "Do not worry about it! All will be reveal in time!" Dumbeldore said. "Ugh, when has keeping secrets from us past 2 years ever worked!" Sunset exited angrily. "Sunset! I apologize!" Twilight said before running after her girlfriend. "Maybe she could have been in Slythering after all," Hagrid tried to ease of situation with a joke. Snape glared at him. "Albus what are we going to do about prophency?" McGonagall asked. "Worry not, Minerva. Just because it exists, doesn't mean it will happen!" "She could be potnetionally dangerous for the whole world!" Snape reminded him. "She is very smart. I don't think Twilight is of any danger to us." "But you will have to tell her sooner or later!" Hagrid said. "All in time. For now let's let her enjoy a year for once and make sure no one tries to reach out to her again and lead her down the wrong path. ______ "I'm sorry I got so mad, I'm just angry at them always keeping secrets", Sunset told Twilight. "You don't have to apologize! I am angry too and am glad you said out loud what I was too afraid to say. I wonder what are they hiding this time", Twilight hugger her girlfriend. _______ "Element of Disharmony can only be stopped by all 7 Elements of Harmony. It is very dangerous especially if it falls in wrong hands," Discord was reading a book to Fluttershy in the library. "But it doesn't say where we could find it! It always says how it's dangerous or about it's power, which by the way amazes me, but they never speak of location!" "Well, at least you found something. I couldn't find anything in the books!" Fluttershy said. "How will we ever find it?" Discord was getting desperate. "I'm sorry", a girl with cloak over her face aproached them, "I couldn't help but overhear and I think I may have a way to help you find it."
