Chapter 2 - The Others

Harry's P.O.V.

"You think you've gone into the future?! From the viking time period!? No, that's not possib- I was cut off by the sound of something landing nearby. "Hide!" I whispered as loud as I could without alerting what ever had chosen to investigate. The dragons and their riders immediately sped out of sight as I whipped on my invisibility cloak. The bushes rustled and out came…

A bush of brown and a blob of ginger whipped past me as Hermione shrieked. She dragged Ron behind her and was screaming at the top of her lungs, casting protective spells left and right while Ron was trying to aim stunning spells while running backwards (and failing miserably). But even Hermione (with or without the "help" of Ron) couldn't win through magic against what followed her. First comes a Chinese Fireball (that amazingly had set itself on fire) with a rider on it's back that is holding onto the dragon's horns for dear life. I only catch a glimpse of him, and all I see is short black hair and a viking helmet. Next comes an unusual hybrid of a common Welsh Green. It seems that it has grown two heads rather than one, and the second one breathes gas rather than fire. It has two riders, both with long blonde hair, bickering with each other as they chase my friends. Close behind comes a very rotund brown warty dragon that seems slower than all the rest. I can't name it though, my dragon experience doesn't go much further than Norberta and the Tri-wizard tournament, and my copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is basically just me and Ron goofing off whenever we had a sub.

On top of the bulky dragon is a large blond boy with short roughly cut hair. He and his dragon slowly pass by as Hiccup and Astrid run out from their hiding place. Those idiots are going to get themselves killed! I cast a shield charm between them and the dragon as Hiccup yells "Fishlegs!" Fishlegs? What? Why is he yelling "Fishlegs"? As I stand there confused, the blond boy turns his head toward them and grins. I guess that must mean that the boy's name is Fishlegs... but what kind of name is Fishlegs? Anyways, the boy's green eyes meet Hiccup's as he triumphantly jumps of his dragon and begins to run toward the pair. Thus he ran straight into my shield, knocking himself out. I couldn't help but laugh a little, though I tried to hide it. "What the…" Hiccup began as I waved my wand to bring the obstacle down. "Do you know this guy?" I asked, although I obviously knew the answer. Hiccup stared at the unconscious boy as Astrid began speak. "Yeah, this is Fishlegs. He's a dragon rider from Berk, just like Hiccup and I." She stopped for a moment to think, then continued. "But this doesn't make sense... What is he doing here? I thought that only Hiccup and I were transported here…" I cut in as she paused. "Why do the boys have such weird names? I mean the name Astrid is fine, but Hiccup? And Fishlegs? Seriously?" Astrid rolls her eyes and explains. "Some parents believe that horrible names will scare away monsters. My parents always told me that they thought I was strong enough to take care of myself. Plus, it's not only the boys that have weird names, Ruffnut isn't exactly normal is it?"

Before I can ask who Ruffnut is Fishlegs starts to stir, so Astrid kneels down next to him and attempts to wake him up. That's when I remember. "Holy shitaki mushroom!" I yelp, pulling out my hair. "Ron and Hermione!" I turned to Astrid and Hiccup. "Do you know those other dragon riders? Have they hurt my friends? Are they dangerous? Do you thi-" Hiccup cut me off. "Harry, STOP FREAKING OUT. They won't hurt your friends, the dragons were only chasing them because, well... because they're dragons. Your friends probably shot off as soon as they saw the danger, and that caused the dragons to look at it as a game of tag. Don't worry, they'll be fine." He reassured me. Astrid gave up trying to wake Fishlegs, stood up, and continued. "And yes, we do know the dragon riders. The first one is Snotlout, he's a bit of a bragger, but eh, we deal with him. The second is the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, they're always fighting with each other over useless and stupid things. Last is Fishlegs." She looks down at him. "He's really smart when it comes to dragons, but sometimes it gets annoying." I can tell from the way Astrid explains them, and her small smile, that they are all a tightly knit group of friends, even if her words aren't too kind.

I take deep breaths, fighting the urge to run to Ron and Hermione, when Astrid provides a distraction "Really? Shitaki mushroom?" She asks giggling. "What? It's natural!" I whine, sounding like a two year old. I mean, I do curse at points, but sometimes I just… sometimes weird things come out of my mouth. "So, can we go get my friends now?" I ask, a little annoyed at myself for having a whole conversation when I should have been looking for Ron and Hermione. "Yeah," Hiccup says, "lets get going."

"Wait!" Astrid calls, pointing to the slumped figure on the ground. "What about Fishlegs?" Hiccup turns to me. "Can you wake him up with magic?" He asks. "I don't know," I respond. "But I'll try." I walk up to where Fishlegs is lying on the ground and try to think of what spell to use. I decide that the reverse incantation of the stunning spell may work. I began to say "Rennerva-" when my wand slips out of my hand and pokes Fishlegs in the eye. "Owww" he groans as I pick my wand up from the ground. Well, at least it woke him up right?

1 hour later

"Ron, Hermione!" I shout as I run towards them. We enjoy a group hug together and when we finally untangle our arms they explain what had happened. Hermione begins. "We were sitting in the Great Hall when Ron and I noticed that you were gone. We decided to look for you because we thought that you could use some friendship at the moment, so I used a spell to follow your tracks." Ron cut in and continued the story. "We were going into the forest when we noticed a flash of light nearby, so we went to investigate. And Harry, we found dragons! So obviously we started running away and they were chasing us and then we totally abandoned your tracks. Sorry mate, but we thought that your feelings could wait until after we saved ourselves." Then Hermione took over again. "We ran for quite a while before we realized that we could simply cast Disillusionment charms on ourselves. When we took a closer look at our pursuers, we realized that the dragons had riders! Harry, can you believe it? Dragon riders!"

"Actually Hermione, yes I can." I signaled for Hiccup, Astrid, and a grumpy Fishlegs to come out from their hiding place that I had assigned them to earlier so that their dragons would not startle my friends. Both Ron and Hermione gasped and began to back away. Hermione cast a Disillusionment Charm on me but I reversed it almost immediately. "Both of you relax, they're not going to hurt you. This is Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs along with their dragons, Toothless, Stormfly, and Meatlug." I said, pointing at each person or dragon as I introduced them. Hiccup and Astrid then explained to my two panicked friends that they were vikings and how they appeared to have ventured through time, while Fishlegs lies down and groans, asking me why I couldn't have given him a warning.

Once Hiccup and Astrid managed the incredibly tiring feat of making Ron and Hermione understand, I asked the question that had been nagging at me during their conversation. "How did you guys even get here? You've told us where you're from and where you were when you got here, but you haven't told us what caused the switch from there to here." There was a short silence in which Fishlegs began to lightly snore with his head against a rock and the two conscious vikings had a quiet conversation. Upon reaching their decision, they turned to face Hermione, Ron, and I. Hiccup sighed as he began to explain. "This is going to sound crazy but…"

CLIFFHANGER! You probably hate me right now for making you suffer, I'll try to update ASAP. I'm thinking of doing the next chapter in Hiccup's P.O.V. explaining what led up to this, and I always welcome suggestions so please tell me what you want to happen next! Also thank you Yuki F. Karasu for the positive feedback, it really pushed me to update. This is my first story and I'm really happy that people like it! Thank you all so much!
