Gravity Falls Hogwarts AU oneshot, because while Dipper and Mabel might suit different houses, they’d never choose different houses, and it’s one’s choices that matter most.
They’d
expected the letters since they were old enough to know about Hogwarts. Their
great-grandmother Pines had been something of a seer, their grandfather a
shopkeeper in Diagon Alley, their father a binder of magical books. Mabel had
summoned her favorite blanket straight out of the wash while their mother’s
back was turned when they were only five; Dipper’s magic, ever more subtle and
often bent sympathetically toward his sister’s wishes, went practically
unnoticed until the day Mabel startled him with Bear-O at nine-going-on-ten and
found herself holding nothing but air as it Vanished away.They’d
expected the letters, but the day the owl arrived with two heavy parchment
envelopes was a day of excited screaming and pouring over lists and begging to
go to Diagon Alley as soon as possible, never mind that they had well over a
month before the start of Hogwarts as it was. The excitement barely settled to
a simmer over that month, peaking the day they went shopping and got their very
own wands and then again at the end, when they finally reached King’s Cross and
Platform 9 and ¾.And
then they were off, and for something they had known and expected all their
lives, it hardly seemed real.
