001.

"Αφήνω τον σύντροφό σου. Αφήνω τον σύντροφό σου. Δύναμη του Έρωτα, ζητώ, η Ντιάνα Σαλβατόρε θέλω να παραιτηθεί από τον Κλάους Μάικαλσον ως σύντροφό μου." The ancient Greek words spoken 18 years ago echoed in Klaus Mikealson's head as he stared up at the mansion he had built so long ago.

"You okay dad?" Hope asked.

"I'm fine, little wolf. Just not very good memories," He smiled at his daughter as they entered the home.

Inside his siblings, Rebekah and Elijah were pulling sheets off of furniture as Kol showed his wife Davina around. Hayley stood off to the side sulking seeing as she didn't want to come back to Mystic Falls.

"Should we call the school?" Freya asked walking in.

"Sure why not," Kol smirked coming in with Davina in tow.

Freya dialled the number and the phone was picked up, "Salvatore Boarding School for the young and gifted. Alaric Saltzman speaking, how may I help you?"

"Hi. My name is Freya I was wondering if you have any openings for tours tomorrow or today."

"Yes, we do actually one just opened up. Is 2:00 today okay?" Alaric asked.

"Yes it's fine," Freya replied.

"Okay. Can I get your full name please and the name of the child?"

"Freya Mikaelson and Hope Mikaelson," Freya replied. Across the line, Alaric's eyes widened and mentally swore.

"Thank you miss Mikaelson. We hope to see you today. Have a nice day," Alaric said a little rushed before hanging up. Freya looked at the rest of her family.

"That was strange. Anyway, we are going to see the school at 2. Which is in half an hour. Everyone be ready," Freya demanded. Hope smiled before skipping away in happiness while Hayley scowled and left.

At the Boarding School, Alaric rushed down the hallway to Diana Salvatore's office before abruptly throwing open the door.

"Alaric, I love you but seriously you need to stop drinking so much coffee," Diana joked.

"Don't be mad, but there is gonna be a new student," Alaric expressed carefully.

"Okay?"

"Her name's Hope Mikaelson. Klaus and Hayley's daughter," Alaric emphasized.

"Am I supposed to be bothered by this information," Diana asked calmly.

"They're coming at 2," Alaric was confused as to why she was so calm.

"Okay. I'll tell Temis and Pollo and you meet me at the front gate at two," Diana smiled at him and he eyed her weirdly before exiting.

Diana pressed her finger to the intercom, "Apollo and Artemis Salvatore to the office please."

A minute later the twins exploded into the room.

"He did it," Artemis pointed at Apollo.

"She did it," Apollo pointed to Artemis.

"Did what?"

"Nothing," They said in sync.

"I feel like you're lying to me but at this moment I don't care. We're having a new student. Her name's Hope Mikaelson. You are to be nice to her, no matter what her parents have done. Okay good," Diana looked at her watch while her children gaped at her, it read 1:50.

"I have to go give the tour. Go to class." Diana shooed them out of her office and she wandered into the kitchen to get a coffee before she had to meet Alaric.

She walked the corridor before she exited the building, hearing Alaric before seeing him, "Welcome to the Salvatore Boarding School for the young and gifted. I'm Alaric, we're just waiting on the headmistress."

"No need to wait anymore, I'm here," Diana smiled sauntering up to them her golden heels clicking against concrete. Klaus stared at her in wonder. She hadn't really changed much over the last 18 years.

She had her hair in its natural colour of strawberry blonde flowing down in waves by her shoulders. Greeny blue eyes shone with mischief as usual. Rebekah and Kol smiled at her while Hayley scowled.

"Welcome. I'm Diana Salvatore. Just call me Diana though, ms makes me sound old. You must be Hope, just as beautiful as the last time I saw you," Diana commented.

"Thank you. Have we met before?" Hope asked.

"When you were a baby. You were with your aunt and I came to visit," Diana explained before turning to the two girls behind her, "Aren't you two supposed to be in class."

"We wanted to meet the new girl. Please let us stay," The blonde pleaded. Lizzie and Josie were Alaric's twin daughters and Diana's goddaughters.

"Well introduce yourselves."

"I'm Lizzie."

"And I'm Josie."

"Twins."

"Fraternal obvs."

"Okay, that's creepy don't do that. Anyway how about we get on with the tour," Diana advised. The family nodded and followed her in.

"So I could be boring like Alaric and tell you the history of the place but I'm pretty sure you already know about that so I'm going to tell you the good stuff. Katherine Pierce died on that couch. I stabbed the devil's right-hand man over there. I pranked Alaric over there. And pretty sure Damon drained a girl dry right where Elijah's standing," Diana smiled. Elijah looked at his feet and then stepped aside.

"You are really bad at this, darling," Kol commented. Diana sent him a sarcastic smile.

"Let's move on," Alaric lead the family elsewhere.

"This is my favourite spot. Welcome to the Stefan Salvatore memorial library," Diana smiled sadly and Rebekah sent her a sympathetic look. Alaric explained some things about it and the family walked around.

"How are you?" Rebekah asked. Diana knew what she was referring to, both Klaus and her brother.

"I'm fine Bekah, thank you though," Diana replied.

"So how about we talk in my office," Diana spoke up. They followed her into the office as she sat down at her desk and pulled up documents.

"So Hope how do you like the school?" Diana questioned.

"I love it. I would really like to go here," Hope replied.

"Okay, then how about we start the paperwork. Full name please?"

"Hope Andrea Mikaelson."

"Species?"

"Tribrid."

"So you've activated your witch and werewolf side correct?"

"Excuse me, why do you assume she's activated her werewolf side?" Hayley butt in.

"Mom," Hope gritted her teeth in embarrassment. She gave Diana an apologetic smile, "I activated my werewolf side." She looked down in guilt.

"Don't be so sad about it, honey. It's who you are embrace it." Diana told her.

A flash of green interrupted the meeting.

"Πού είναι το φίδι της Μέδουσας; Θα με σκοτώσει αν δεν το καταλάβει τώρα," Loki rushed. Where's Medusa's snake. She's going to kill me if she doesn't get it now.

Diana's face dropped. She discreetly looked around the room, "I let it out of its cage for a bit and now I've forgotten about it."

"You forgot about it? Are you joking?" Loki screeched.

"No. I'm sorry. I was busy," Diana defended.

"Why do I feel something crawling up my leg?" Kol asked petrified.

"See there it is now," Diana pointed towards Kol. She got up and bent down by Kol's leg and unwrapped a jade green snake from it. It slithered up her arm and wrapped itself around her neck. The others watched in amazement as Diana handed it off to Loki.

"You keep a snake in your office?" Hayley asked.

"Not really. It's Medusa's she gave it to me to look after and I let it out to stretch for a bit and maybe catch something to eat."

"What does it eat?" Hope stared at the animal in amazement.

"The students," Diana said seriously. Hope's eyes widened before she realised Diana was joking.

Diana turned back to Loki, "Thank you. Don't forget we're coming over tonight," he told her.

"Even Dionysus?" Loki nodded, "Do you think he's still mad?"

"You pushed him down the stairs, Ana."

"I prefer calling it, giving him a little nudge," Loki shook his head before teleporting away again. Diana sat back down before the door burst back open, she sighed and smiled apologetically to the Mikaelsons.

"You will not believe what Apollo did to me," Artemis shrieked.

"I didn't do anything," Apollo said calmly.

"You killed the guy I liked," Artemis shouted at him.

"No, I didn't."

"For the God of Intellect and Truth you're spitting a whole bunch of bullshit," Artemis snapped before turning to her mother, "He also took my throwing knives."

"First language. Second, why'd you take her throwing knives?" Diana questioned.

"She was throwing them at me," Apollo deadpanned.

"Boo-hoo. Cry me a river," Artemis and Apollo continued to argue and their eyes started to glow, opposing colours of gold and silver.

The argument got heated as threats were being thrown about. Diana flicked her wrist and the two were encased in her red energy, "I don't need you arguing right now. Apollo, give your sister back her throwing knives. And stop killing the boys she likes it's the second time. And Temi, don't throw knives at your brother." She let them go and they nodded.

"Anyway I'm in the middle of something so how about you take Hope on the rest of the tour whilst I deal with the rest of the paperwork. Oh and introduce yourselves." Diana told her motioning to the family in front of her.

"Oh hi. I'm Artemis. Sorry for the interruption."

"I'm Apollo. Her twin but I'm older, despite the fact, the first set was the other way around.

"By two minutes," Artemis grumbled.

"These are the Mikaelsons. And well, Hayley," Diana introduced.

"Actually I'm going to be a Mikaelson," Hayley corrected looking proud.

"Wait you two are getting married," Diana laughed pointing at Klaus and Hayley.

"No, I'm marrying Elijah."

"Why am I not surprised," Diana muttered, Kol and Rebekah snickered whilst Freya, Davina and Hope looked confused.

"Wait, mom. Is this the Hayley?" Artemis asked Diana nodded, "I thought when you cheated you were supposed to go for someone prettier. I guess I was wrong," Artemis shrugged whilst Diana laughed. Hayley glared at the girl.

"Oh Gaea, that's so unprofessional. I shouldn't have laughed. Sorry," Diana tried to maintain her composure.

"I'm sorry what's going on?" Hope questioned confused.

"Oh, you don't know?"

"Ana-," Klaus warned.

"Your dad cheated on me with your mom," Diana informed.

"Are you really that much of a bitch that you had to tell my child that," Hayley growled.

"Well since your such an honest person I thought you would have told her. I guess not," Diana shrugged as Kol and Davina snickered in the back.

"You really are so jealous aren't you?" Hayley spat.

"Of you? Darling, you're delusional," Diana looked at her sympathetically. Kol and Rebekah burst out laughing.

"Guy's why don't you take Hope on the rest of the tour. Hope would you like a single or shared room?"

"Single please," Hope said politely.

"At least you have manners unlike your mother," Diana muttered underneath her breath as she got a key from behind her.

Hayley glared at her as she handed the key to Hope and told her what room she would be staying in.

"Anyway, hi uncle Kol, aunt Bekah. Let's go, Hope," Artemis dragged Hope from her chair and went off.

"Tell your sister she has a hair appointment to go back to her natural colour. I've gotten three complaints from teachers about it," Diana told Apollo.

"Sure Mom, love you," Apollo left and Diana was left with the Mikaelson family.
