Original of the Oxroth boys

“Stop arguing for Merlin's sake!”

In the train cabin two of the boys from the four were arguing. The bleached haired huffed as he crossed his arms - leaning back into his seat. “Whatever.”

“I swear, we are gonna be put down somewhere in the middle of Oxroth and the station before we could go to school because of you two!”

“You act like it's the biggest problem if we fight!” The blond boy was gonna stand up if the train wouldn't have changed directions - as soon he was on his legs the train suddenly moved to the left, with a small huff he landed on the seat once more.

“because it's a fucking problem!”

Someone began knocking on the cabin’s door, Ranboo with a quick move he opened the door and tried to answer to the knocking but then-

A lady came in and began speaking, “Excuse me, please be quiet. There's only two hours till we get to Oxroth.” Without waiting for any response from the young boys she closed the door and left.

For the rest of the ride none of them really talked to each other, The shortest one — Tubbo talked about bees and bugs to Ranboo.

Tommy? He was trying to annoy Purpled by making comments and kicking his legs but it didn't work, the boy let him do those.

The time seemed to go slow, Purpled probably at this point fell asleep, I mean, he wasn't talking or had his eyes open. He was only breathing and that's it. Oh, and had his arms crossed while he leaned on the seat’s back.

Tommy's eyes wandered to Purpled's figure, he sighed deeply as he thought of how will Dream and his stupid friends will try to prank him on the first day of school.

Slowly but surely, a voice said; “Everyone switch to their uniforms!”

Ranboo shook Purpled awake, who in response groaned at the boy, clearly was annoyed to wake up. “I had such a good dream, why do I have to be woken up?”

“Cause we need to change, now quick, we have 20 minutes to do it!” Ranboo says, as if he was Purpled's mother.

They changed into their uniforms, to their house uniforms;

Tubbo changed to his normal uniform that most of the Owlerven students wore; the shirt, black pants, robes and the green-black tie. Oh, and the iconic Owlerven necklace; an owl necklace to be exact. Every Owlerven somehow had this necklace even if it wasn't the same but it was similar, it's a normal black necklace with an owl feather which was either black, brown, white and ect… for an example; Tubbo's feather is white.

Purpled had the iconic Vymexic symbol on his tie; a small vyxen dragon curled up made from silver. His robes inside were purple which is surely normal, for example; Sparrovens’ robes inside were dark blood red or Felinerzens' robes had a nice deep blue color, oh then Owlervens’ robes, they had a very nice-cool dark green but back to Purpled's robes… his one and his brother's robes were quite the special ones if you say so; they had this golden shade on the dark purple that made them unique; sure, there was other students in Vymexic or any other house where they also had this on their inside of robes but very few of them would. Purpled liked showing it off but Ranboo turned him off by “It's not special, you aren't the king here” sure Ranboo had this too but he didn't seem to flex with it as much as Purpled would.

What did it mean? Nothing, at least no one really knows what it means, there's theories like it symbolizes the lords’ relatives… (how stupid, don't you think?) or that something bad will happen in the future but really, nobody knows.

but back to the uniforms…

Tommy casually just only put on his shirt, tie and the Sparroven sweater (Ranboo tried telling him he would get in trouble but he didn't listen). Everyone knew Tommy, he wouldn't listen to anyone whatever they say (until it's too late.)

What was that?

Just a mistake…

Let's continue!

He always rolled his sleeves up, especially when it was still warm weather. His black-red Sparroven tie would often be not tied correctly and usually Purpled or in very little chance Tubbo or Ranboo - why? Cause Ranboo can't believe a 16 years old can't tie a tie but what is he expecting? He's a child in a teenager's body. And Tubbo, Ranboo simply forces him to not help Tommy as he needs to learn to how to tie a tie cause he can't just live and ask someone to help with his tie but anyway, he also tried get Purpled to not help him but Purpled just simply refused to listen to Ranboo - would help him make his tie correctly.

Ranboo Listened to the school rules of dressing; he's known for his clever, worried personality but not for his rules especially that didn't have to do with the clothes - you see, Ranboo came from a family that didn't cared about anything but how their clothes looked like and that meant also Ranboo cared about the rules of clothing as he thinks it's important, but hey! What are you expecting from a Felinerzen student who wants to look the best? But back to his clothes… He wore the normal shirt, pants, robes and tie. Oh and of course his robes inside had this golden shade to it. He secretly loved it to be honest, he just simply hid it.

The train then slowly began slowing down till it completely stopped…

Oh! Look at that…

There, they are here, Zykverin, school of wizards and witches.

Their sixth may start, what should they expect from this year?

(Oh, poor little boys, if they knew how bad their years could go.)

As the four walked in (with everyone else from different years), everyone stared at them, no, it wasn't anything disgusted, sad or whatever look, it was happy, good looks, greeting them. They - the boys didn't quite do anything wrong, well, surely they did pranked others - Dream and his friends mainly but that was an expectation, they just gave back what they gave them! It's not a bad thing is it?

Walking down the halls of Zykverin, they soon arrived at the Great room, four long tables, four colors; red, purple, green and blue, it was the four houses' colors. Sparroven, Vymexic, Owlerven and Felinerzen.

They sat down at their tables and waited till the dinner began; but before that, the principal said a welcoming greeting before sorting every new student into their houses with the well known, dirty and old,Sorting Hat.

…And when that was done, the dinner started, everyone had their laugh. Everyone greeted the other as they hadn't seen them… how long? almost four months! Okay, okay, three months to be exact, not four.

Tommy eventually saw his brother again who was away for the summer break at his friend's house who was also in their house.

“You haven't cut off your hair?” Tommy asked, raising an eyebrow at Wilbur's new hair. It was now longer, it was almost till his shoulders—!

Wilbur nods slowly, “Yes? I wanted to grow it, you know how slow it's growing—”

“I'm so proud! You aren't bald anymore!” Tommy held out his hand as he giggled his ass off at what he just said, look! It was funny, wasn't it?

“I'm gonna make you drink a potion that will make you bald forever!” Wilbur said, his voice raising as he gripped the air; his fist becoming sore in seconds. “You know well the others in my years doesn't know that much things in every class like me,” Wilbur growled low, warning Tommy if he makes any more jokes he will do something.

Tommy stuck out his tongue in response before showing up his hand and moving it like he had a sock pulled on his hand. “Blah blah blah,”

The dinner went casual, like any other dinner at Zykverin would go; slow, loud and full of hungry people.

Wilbur looked up from his food to Tommy, as if he's thinking - he is, he's trying to remember what he wants to say Tommy.

Tommy seemed to notice Wilbur's eyes on him; he looked up at him with a confused look.

“I talked with Techno,” He finally said, giving a smile to his brother.

“Really? Where is he now?”

“In Romania… then in this month, he will go to Hungary to catch a dragon that escaped.” Wilbur explained while picking up small pieces of meat with his fork; he was getting full, he couldn't eat anything else. “He said he got a letter from our father, so maybe next year we will see him here as a professor,”

“You aren't joking, are you?” Tommy asked, with wide eyes; he couldn't believe that his other brother, the well known hunter, is gonna be a professor at Zykverin. When Wilbur shook his head he wanted to jump in excitement but it was a meal - he can do it later, “I can't wait for next year! I bet he will teach what James professor teaches!”

“We'll see, oh and he said he will bring us candy and stuff if he will be a professor,”

Tommy was absolutely excited for the next year now; he couldn't wait to annoy one more professor with things.

But let's see the others how they doing… Owlerven!

Tubbo, sat next to Bad and another Owlerven student, above his year. In front of him then sat a student from the 10th year, him and Tubbo actually were quite close, friends to be exact.

“How was the Summer Tubbo?” Bad asked, smiling down at the small boy.

Well if Tubbo wasn't short for his age Bad would still look down at him, for his age he's quite tall - a little taller than Ranboo by a few inches.

“It was pretty good, I spent most of the summer with my friends!” Tubbo said happily, grinning as he looked up at the boy. “And your summer? How did it went?”

“Oh, I meet up with Skeppy and Sapnap during summer we happened to take a small vacation at the same place with them it was quite fun,” He smiled happily, maybe a little blushing too as he mentions Skeppy - the so called diamond boy, Skeppy is well known for his love and interest in diamonds.

“That's good to hear,” Gus nods as Bad talks about how his summer went.

At the Vymexic table it happens for Purpled to sit next to Dream.

“Don't you think it's sad that Quackity had to go to another school… poor boy he loved being here-” Dream went on talking about Quackity before Purpled shut him off with;

“For once shut up, I'm more happy for that he isn't here to mess with me.” Zobor says with a very obvious annoyed voice. He isn't in the mood to talk about Quackity who happens to be pranking him a lot of times. For once Purpled is gonna have a year without that black haired.

Dream smirks at Purpled's tone, chuckling low “Well, what we could talk about? You know well everyone is gonna talk about Quackity and his pranks.”

“I never ever asked you to talk to me, did I?” Purpled raises an eyebrow at Dream. “I didn't, so shut up.”

Dream rolls his eyes as Purpled shuts him up, with a deep sigh he looks at the Felinerzen table through the Owlerven students.

Ranboo didn't talk during meals, never was in the mood for talking when eating.

Ranboo once a while looks up from his plate to the teachers in the front and the students in front of him but after a quick look he goes back to eating.

Not so much to talk about.

Slowly the meal ended and the house prefects led their house members to their common rooms.

The four friends waved at each other for the last time today before going off after their house members.

“So, was it fun being at Tommy's place with Tubbo and Ranboo?” Punz asked, wrapping an arm around his brother's shoulder; oh, right, you see Punz is Purpled's brother. They were quite different.. Punz had blonde hair with blue-gray eyes while Purpled brown hair and purple eyes even if they were from the same father and mother.

The Zobor family were the well known rich, purebloods. Nothing would ruin that single thing, they were strict about who they marry; the only thing mattered is that they marry and keep on the pureblood status till the family eventually dies out.

But back to the timeline…

“Yeah, I did, how did the summer go with father?” Purpled asked, he knew eventually Punz will go and try to scare him but he isn't gonna fall into his trap again.

Punz shrugged in response. “Would have been better,” he looks forward trying to detect his friend but when even he looks behind him and doesn't see him he rolls eyes and lets go of Purpled. “I haven't seen you on the train” He comments casually, not bothering to continue the earlier topic.

“I was with my friends almost like, at the end of the train?” Purpled says - asks? Kind of.

“Of course,” the older Zobor rolled his eyes, he opened his mouth to say but paused as their prefects gave them the code; Pureblood.

Punz shrugged in response to that, usually their password is between.. pureblood, Lord Oxnorth, Romania, and way more to list… Every house's password changes every month but why? It's not like someone or something will break into the castle.

Ranboo breathed in the sweet, old air that went through the Felinerzen common room; oh, he kind of even missed this smell and the similar and new faces, he liked to get to know the new first years and help them too but first he needs to put away his stuff in his dorm so without hesitation he walked off to his dorm; sometimes he wished that in one dorm four more people could sleep in there but also grateful for that he was alone in the dorm he wondered sometimes how Sparrovens or Owlervens could sleep in the same dorm without disturbing the other.

Moving on,

Lendorr walked over to his bed immediately as he got in his dorm and he saw his sweet black cat on the bed, he gently coops her up in his arms, giving her gentle pets. “Have you missed me? I missed you my sweet girl,” he says with a soft smile.

Let's see… Sparroven!

Tommy absolutely hated the new first years, not because they are annoying or anything but he cannot stand seeing new faces till next year so after Tommy looking through all the similar-new faces he walks off to his dorm which is shared with others which he hated but oh well, what can he do? He sat down on his bed lazily, stretching himself out before looking out of the window.

The half moon. The moon seemed unusually big but they are in a magical- wizardry world? some things might look bigger than they usually are.

Tommy slowly walks over the window and looks out for a moment thinking of how their years would go.

Probably like any other year; happily, some sadness but definitely there will be a lot of detention this year.

He smirks to himself as he thinks of how much trouble he could drag his friends into. mainly Tubbo. Oh, he can't wait to do that.

The door opened and Tommy in reflex turned around immediately only to see Fundy in the door.

“Look at that, the so-called fox is here!” Tommy says with a smirk on his face.

“And the so-called raccoon is here too!” Fundy replies, grinning as Tommy “greets” him.

“I'm not a raccoon!” Tommy exclaims.

Fundy rolls his eyes playfully before putting his bag on his bed, then soon joining Tommy to watch the moon as well.

Soon every student slowly went off to sleep, to get some sweet rest for the day.

The sun slowly but surely began rising up, taking over the castle and the surroundings.

Purpled stir in his bed trying to find a comfortable pose to find;

So did Tommy.

Or,

Tubbo and Ranboo.

It was normal wasn't it? It's just an accident that they couldn't sleep.

But it's not a big deal, really. Only some trouble with sleeping it's not a big deal.

Slowly the halls were filled with students in their house uniforms, it was morning and luckily no classes, how lucky they are!

Ranboo usually, like every year he starts the day with first years explaining the school and their "power", afterall who will tell the rules that they really need to follow - or the habits that the school have?

Tubbo happens to look for the tall boy, when he sees his black-white hair being surrounded by bunch of first years he groans, hating that Ranboo would teach them useless things.. that he spends time with them instead of him or-

Why does he care about who Ranboo teaches or talks with? He's not a jealous type.

“Boo? Seriously, you start every year by teaching useless things to the new first years.” Gus says, shaking his head in ‘disappointment’.

“Tubbo, will you? I was talking about a very important part.” Ranboo, looking directly into Tubbo's eyes as he says that.

“What important talk? The lords?” Tubbo asks with a kind of mocking tone. He never found interest in the lords and didn't quite understand them either no matter how much anyone explained them to him.

“No-”

“Ranboo? Can you talk about the.. second wizardry war that happened?” One of the first years asked; a small girl with curly brown hair. “My parents said their grand-grandparents lived in that year,”

Ranboo thinks for a second, quickly turning his head over Tubbo.

“How about I get… Purpled or Tommy? Surely they know something about it, they have a thing for wars I'm sure,” Tubbo says not waiting for any answer - he runs off to find Purpled or Tommy, or both.

After a good ten minutes, Tubbo returns with the Sparroven and Vymexic students. Before Ranboo could look or say anything both Tommy and Purpled goes next to Ranboo and sits down besides him with of course also Tubbo.

“So the second wizardry war?” Tommy begins with Purpled continuing;

“Most of the students here, their grand-grand-grandparents fought in the war. But, no one really knows anything about it besides that “The Boy who lived” was the hero who won the war.”

“But many people suspect that they are related to the hero… But no one really knows the truth, only that the hero and his friends had children and they also did too but nobody is sure who related to who.”

“Would there be a chance for you guys to be related to them?” A boy from Sparroven asked, raising his hand as high as he could.

“I wouldn't say no, there's a chance for me and my friends but we don't really know. None of us have our family trees,” Ranboo explains, with a smile on his face.

“I do, actually, I see it every single time I'm in the house but I never thought of looking through my relatives..” Purpled says, his pupils widen as he thinks of the family tree.

Tubbo rolls his eyes at Purpled's words, he doesn't know who wouldn't do that. Everyone would check it!

“Okay… it's almost lunch, Felinerzen kids, stay here, I'll be showing around the classrooms you guys will learn in firstly.” Ranboo explains, standing up slowly with the other three, “For the other kids, you guys go back to your common rooms and wait for the person from your houses to gather you guys. Tommy, Tubbo and-” Ranboo was gonna add Purpled but there weren't any Vymexic students amongst the first years. He looked at Purpled with a puzzled face but he seemed to not care at all. “So.. Tommy will lead the Sparrovens first years and Tubbo will lead the Owlervens,”

“I'll go with you to help or I can go with Tommy,” Zobor offers. He looks down on the first years from the three different houses but all the three seem unsure if they want him around them. “...Or I can go and wait for you guys in the Great Hall?”

“No, that wouldn't be nice of us,” Tubbo comments. Humming as he thinks of letting Purpled come along.

“You can go talk with Punz? You said you need to talk with him anyway,” Tommy says, but confusion immediately came to his face as he sees Purpled to shake his head.

“No, he's out with Dream and some other few people or whatever he said,”

“Already? It's only the first day of school?”

Purpled shrugs. “I'll just go talk with someone from my house, it's not a big deal.” Zobor says casually, before any of his friends could say anything about staying with them he turns on his heels and walks off making his way to the dungeons.

The three sighed in response to that, after Purpled disappeared at the end of the hallway Tommy and Tubbo began leading the first years to their common room.

Ranboo walked to the main five classes they would take this year. As he showed the classes one by one, he sees one of the Felinerzen students raise their hand; “What's wrong?”

“Why are you friends with a Vymexic…? Aren't they evil?”

Ranboo stops walking and takes a minute to gather his thoughts - he doesn't know either. Tommy was the one who found him in the rain as he remembers - He clearly remembers that Tommy in second year was out and it was raining, then found Purpled in the rain. “Well, if Tommy didn't find him then I wouldn't be friends with him. I don't trust Vymexics, believe me, but Purpled is not that typical Vymexic, he's actually a nice guy if you treat him well.”

“I wouldn't still be friends with them, even if they nice,”

“I know, I wouldn't either, I never was planning on even becoming friends with a Vyxemic but ever since fourth year and I meet Purpled by Tommy I realized he isn't a cruel person, he's just a little misunderstood.”

The four - without Purpled - were often asked why they are friends with Purpled. A Vyxemic. But they just replied with “Tommy couldn't leave him in the rain, nobody was here and he wasn't any close to the dungeons either.” or “He isn't like those Vyxemic, he's a great guy but people keep misunderstanding him.”

That was true, all the reasons why they are friends with Purpled.

But oh well; Ranboo shushed the youngs before going and explain all the classes they would have this year to his surprise the time went so fast with just some talk so he decided to drop them off the common room then meet up with his two other friend; Tommy and Tubbo.

Purpled? Well… he was just hanging out in the Vyxemic common room with a friend; Dani who quickly went off to meet his other friend.

Oh well, he wasn't bothered; it was almost lunch so he decided to go Great room. Once he was at the Great room, he stood close to the entrance as he wait for the three to arrive. It was early lunch time, the students were just getting there.

But it didn't took the three to arrive; none of them mentioned that what the first years were asking them.

When the lunch ended two from the group - Tommy and Tubbo - decided to take a quick look in the Muggle studies classroom - there was a rumour of that it got a new things in it! -; they decided they would do a small race, the classroom was almost at the other end of the castle!

Dream hearing that, Tommy and Tubbo would race to that classroom gave him a perfect idea what to do. He quickly got his two friends and began running to the Muggle studies classroom so they could prank the two.

Three boys - Sapnap, George and Dream to be exact,

Three boys ran into the muggles studies classroom, there was anything that muggles used, television, electric stuff, bike, paint - talking of paint! What a good prank idea it would be to pour paint into the two boys’ heads.

Dream and his friends were close by the desk, a beautiful light wood made from one of the Mariura forest’s trees, it had a noticeable golden line going through the wood rings.. but that doesn't matter.

“One…” Dream pointed his wand at the paint bucket, his friends — Sapnap and George — were patiently waiting for the two to come in.

“Two…” The steps became louder and louder.

“Three!” Door went flying open by Tommy and Tubbo running in.

“Wingardium leviosa!” Said Dream the red paint flew up in the air then soon it was on its side, it poured onto the two, covering their hair, robes, body.

“WHAT THE FUCK?!” Tommy screams, he immediately notices Dream and his friends laughing behind the desk and Tommy in response he tries to grab his wand from his robes’ inside pocket made for his wand but then he feels Tubbo falling right on him which causes him to fall on the floor.

“Have fun being covered in paint, just for a little memory of how it looked like when I hit you accidentally with that spell.” Dream says kneeling down in front of Tommy, with a big smirk on his face he left the classroom along with chuckling Sapnap and George.

Tubbo quickly gets off Tommy and helps him up; They argue for a bit, what they should do but soon they just decide to take a shower.

As they walk next to each other to their towers they accidentally meet Ranboo on the way who was quite confused about what happened to them.

After the two explained the situation to Ranboo, he seemed to only sigh.

“Be happy, they didn't pour water or something else on you guys,”

“I don't care what they pour on us, they could pour on us water but no, they decided to pour red paint on us.” Tubbo groaned, his hand and face were still covered with paint, so was Tommy’s too. “Can’t they just finally stop doing these stupid pranks?!”

“I swear if Dream team does their stupid pranks again I'm going to curse them!” Tommy said — his wand falling out of his black robes. “They have been doing this since we came here!” Stomping— almost breaking his wand in half. “Dream even commented that this is a reminder of when he almost killed me!”

“It’s their ninth year, we can survive two more years with them, Tommy. Besides we can tell a professo—”

“Whenever we do they tell them to stop it but they keep doing and do more shit than they did before! How are we supposed to—” Cutting off his own sentence he turned away from the tall, crossing his arms. It seemed he was apparently too angry at the team stupid pranks, I mean, who wouldn't be? Sometimes Tommy just cuts off his sentences when he's too angry.

He saw a Vymexic student - his friend, Purpled walk up to them, with a raised eyebrow before chuckling. “Dream’s team got you two again?”

“Stop laughing purple ass! It’s not funny!”

“Whatever.” Purpled sighed before looking behind the two paint covered boys — Dream team and a professor? “Is that them?”

They looked behind themselves.

“Uh-huh, they are getting told off.” Spoke Tubbo slowly, he turned back to the front. Taking off his robes— “Right, me and Tommy are gonna do something with these.. See you guys later!” Said the Owlerven, dragging the Sparroven behind him.

The two stared at the other two. With a sigh Ranboo picked up Tommy’s wand, handing it over Purpled. “Give it back to Tommy, I have something to do before the sun goes off.”

“Got it sir,” Purpled calling Ranboo sir was always a joke between them since the fourth year. He took the wand, then said his goodbye to the other one.

Ranboo was always the leader-like person, he was the one telling who what should do, the plan, ect. Yet Tommy still would say he’s the leader in the group, Purpled always said he’s the unicorn but stupider version which Tommy always replies with “You know my father is the headmaster dickhead! I can always make him kick your ass,”, which was always funny, his father would rather spend time with the Vymexic students than his own family. But did his father ever care? No. Why? Nobody knows. Well, no one yet.

Purpled watched as Ranboo walked off to the direction of where the professor and the trio were. With a sigh he turned around and began making his way to where Tommy and Tubbo could possibly be; the boy washroom on the second floor.

The steps echoed through the empty hallways, why was he the only one walking in the hallways? It was only September 2. Saturday, students should be walking around in the halls.

Purpled soon he was on the second floor, before he could even begin walking once more he was frozen in one place as he saw a black clothed person on the end of the hall; looking directly at him.

1996. September.

The halls were busy, so were the classrooms and the dormitories. Sparroven and Vymexic had potions together in the first class on monday, which was surely good for Tommy and Purpled, but well.. the others did not like it at all. Sparroven and Vymexic were always fighting with each other, like a divorced couple. Or at least what Tubbo and Ranboo would say.

The potions professor stepped into the room, he greeted the two ‘unicorn but stupider versions’ as they were in the back row — before everyone else. He was the two’s- four’s father figure. Students often called him ‘Awesamdad” since he always acted a dad to every student— to the four at least. The four students from each house always called him dad, it didn't matter if they were in public — well, Zobor didn’t called him like that, himself as being part of a pureblood family he quite hated the idea of calling someone “dad” who isn’t even related to his family.

The professor walked behind his desk, he put his hands on the black wood desk as he looked around the students, all students from sixth year. “Let’s start the day— week with some easy questions,” The professor with a swift motion picked a magenta-ish colored potion. “Can someone tell me what this potion is called?”

Purpled raised his hand after nobody seemed to “know” the potion.

“Zobor?”

“It’s called Verux, it’s often used to heal wounds but it can also be used when having a sore, ache such as headache.”

“Correct! Five points to Vymexic.”

With a smirk Purpled looked at Tommy, gently hit him by his shoulder. “If you don’t get your brain together, Sparroven is gonna have the lowest points this year.”

“Oh, please, my stupid school obsessed brother won’t let that happen.”

“Who knows, maybe he got bored of being the smart ass,”

“Stop talking in the back, it’s still the start of the year not the end of the year.”

The Vymexic rolled his eyes as he turned his head back to the professor.

The class went quiet as well.

Professor Sam put the potion he was holding down on his table, then gave the students a sharp look. “Does anyone know which potion makes an interesting color, which also smells like a person or the thing you like?”

Chuckles were heard throughout the room, with this potion, Amortentia, it was always easy to tell who liked who. The smoke became a shade of a color depending who is smelling it. Which sometimes became a rumor in a short time.

A brown haired boy then put his hand up, the professor gave him a smile before nodding at him. “It’s called Amortentia, if you smell it you can smell the thing you like or the person you like. It also changes its color once you figure out what it is.”

“That’s right! How about everyone come out here and smell it?” When everyone stood in front, the professor looked through the Sparroven-Vymexic students. His eyes picked out a ginger, with a smile he spoke; “Mr. Fundy will you?”

With a smile from the ginger he smelled the potion; it became a shade of dark green, then brown. “Oh-oo,, I can smell the Mariura forest.” Wasn’t a surprise, Fundy was always the type of Sparroven student who loves going out to the forest and being a free fox as he says it, people often call him fox boy.

This went on for quite a while. Once it was the last student; Purpled Zobor. The smell of it was similar to apple— peach but it had a strong burning smell. It took him a few minutes to realize it was the smell of Categgox — furless cat with bug body parts, its tail is similar to a bone which was brown. Eight eyes set on its head with six ears- four in front and two behind it. Soon the smoke turned to light pink.

Tommy hated that creature, it just freaked him out but Purpled didn't cared about that; he always thought they looked cool with all the bug parts.

After the class, Tubbo was waiting for them outside the classroom. “What were you guys doing?” Tubbo asked with a smile, curious.

“Professor Sam asked us a few questions, easy ones before he called out the class to smell Amortentia and tell us what we smell,” Tommy explained, with a quick sigh he began speaking again, “I smelled… I don't know? Like, blueberry but it had like a very strong burned wood smell—”

“He was struggling too much on figuring out so professor Sam said he will figure it next time,” Purpled cut Tommy's sentence off simply, and isn't bothered by the hit that Tommy gave him.

“Could be… two-faced dog? Or that— horse creature that only those people can see who already saw death,” Tubbo says, looking directly down at his hands and floor as he tries to think of that creature.

“Thestrals?” Purpled asks.

“What the fuck is even those?” With wide eyes Tommy asks, he never heard of those before.

“..Right I forgot you never saw someone die— how do you know what those are called though Purpled?”

“My father, he apparently watched my mother die so he's able to see them.”

“I'm sorry to hear tha-”

“RANBOO! WE ARE HERE!” Tommy yelled across the hall — completely ignoring the two talking.

The tall stud began walking to the three, Ranboo who looked a bit too pissed by the sixth year's useless yell, “You know, yelling in the halls is a rule that you will get detention for right?” Ranboo asked, as he was close to the boys.

“Who cares, let's go to our next class,” without any word, Tommy grabbed Purpled's hand and dragged him across the hall to the second floor. The other two rolled their eyes and followed the Sparroven and Vymexic.

As they walked to their next classes Tubbo got a bit left behind but the Owlerven wanted that on purpose - not really, he just got a weird feeling and thought he would stop for a moment to look behind and there.. there was a man— person in the hall. Only wearing black clothes.

As Tubbo looked down and up at the person he noticed it was wearing long black robes with some black suit and shirt. Its sleeves were big and long like their robes’ sleeves except it had even more darker black mark on their arm.. which seemed to look like a snake.

But he had to follow his friends if he wanted to catch up with them.

He didn't knew what to say about the person… he decided to forget about it, it's not like its something important.

Soon it was 29th after all.

The time didn't go that fast, it was already late September and nothing happened. In the last six years something always happened - like last year Tommy got hit with a spell, leaving a massive scar on his chest behind. Oh, then Tubbo in third year got blind for a month or so, and after all Ranboo still managed to dodge everything- except from first year, he drank, got hit by a spell or whatever but somehow his left eye turned green. At least the others think that's what happened —

The others also thought it was cool because of the fact that his skin is black and white - vitiligo. His hair wasn't really split, black on one side and white on the other side.

—, of course the Dream team did those, what a surprise.

Oh and, Purpled, yes, let's not forget him - well, he can be forgotten in this; the trio never pranked him, hurt him at all because of Punz, his brother. He was friends with Dream.

Sure, the four were happy they didn't have to deal with getting hurt.

But,

It was weird, you know? Like, it was weird that they didn't have to expect anything.

That was till in the early of October something -, people called Masked Deaths showed up in a daily prophecy.

They didn't think of it so much because they didn't really think that they were something evil that was out to kill, hurt people.

Well, three of them didn't care, but Purpled had an odd feeling.

You see, for some odd reasons Punz, his big brother would disappear once for a while and get back some day later. Oh, also Dream as well. It was as if they were meeting up somewhere.

Purpled, himself thought of nothing but it didn't help his curiosity when Tommy talked about George and Sapnap disappearing for a while and coming back late at night.

“Dunno, I mean, in the past six years I never saw them do this. It's odd,” Tommy said, it was obvious that he was curious about what's going on.

“That's odd, I feel like it has to do something with Punz and Dream as well.”

“Your brother? What could be something up?” Tubbo asked, curiosity taking over his mind.

“The both also disappear for a while then return late at night.”

Ranboo now leaned closer to the three, listening in. The last few words caught his attention.

As the silence continued to wander around the four.

Tubbo was thinking of telling them about that odd person he saw when Zykverin started.

Suddenly a professor showed up in the hall which made the four somewhat get scared as a voice asked them;

“What are four students doing something out of their common room?” It was professor Jschlatt. That professor hated all the students, mainly the four he was standing in front of.

“Nothing Professor, just talking.” Purpled said, turning around only to meet the professor's dark eyes.

“Uh-huh, it better be just talking.” The professor scanned the four before going off to his business.

“Does he always have to be such a dick towards us?”

Ranboo shrugged, staring into the direction where the professor went. “Professor Jschlatt is a typical Vymexic and he's the leader of the house.”

“Guys?” Tubbo asks, when the three looked at him he continued “When school started, I saw a weird person in the hallway? They were wearing full black clothes and on their sleeves there was like a snake looking mark too,”

Purpled stared at Tubbo's words; he exactly saw that person too. “I saw exactly that too. When you guys was pranked by Dream and his friends, I was coming after you guys and on the hallway I saw them,”

“What are you guys talking about?”

“Nothing Tom,” Tubbo says oddly quickly, “Let's go to our favorite spot, to the Black lake?”

Tommy rolls his eyes at the mention of Black lake. He doesn't like the name, firstly because he was often called as Black lake too mainly because his family name is Black. But his friends just played it off as some joke and don't need to be taken seriously.

Ranboo just simply told him to don't bother about it, it's not much.

“Yeah sure, sounds like a great idea.” Purpled nods along with Ranboo.

Tommy only shrugged.

As the four walked to the lake, they caught up to what they heard from their houses.

Once down the lake, Tommy and Tubbo took off their shoes, rolled up their trousers to their knees and took off their robes to go into the water.

The four liked Oxroth, Really.

All of them felt like they were free, they could do what they wanted.

Tubbo could talk about his interests, his love for sun and nature as much as he wanted to.

Ranboo was able to talk about potions, his favorite class as much as he wanted to.

Tommy could be himself, there wasn't anyone stopping him like his dad.

And Purpled just liked to be here, not because of his friends - of course he loves them dearly like they are part of his family - but because of that Oxroth feels like his home. Along with pure-bloods, half-bloods and muggleborns too. He might love them dearly but with his best effort he respected them, especially muggleborns, due to Tubbo being one.

They often would write to each other letters writing “When we're back in Oxroth…” and write whatever they thought of. It was often “Our dreams will come true” or “What will happen to us this year?”

This summer though, They write notes and put them on the bedroom door they stay in.

They loved doing it cause they know they can act however they want in here, house members.

No one finds it annoying, maybe Jschlatt professor but that doesn't count. He doesn't like anyone.

They spent days getting detention - mainly Purpled and Tommy - but it was fine, nothing bothered them so who cares?
