The ten Hogwarts students stood in front of Ruff and Tuff's fireplace.

Tuff grabbed a pot full of powder from the fireplace. "Alright." He turned, with a smile. "Who has never traveled by Floo Powder before?"

Rapunzel slowly raised her hand.

"Okay." Tuff stood away from the fireplace. "Who wants to show her how it's done?"

Flynn stepped up and took some Floo Powder and stood in the fireplace. "Diagon Alley!" He threw the powder down and green flames engulfed him!

Rapunzel jumped.

The flames dissipated and Flynn was gone.

"There." Tuff gestured to the fireplace. "It's easy. Oh, and the flames don't burn…you're totally safe." He told Rapunzel and then gently pushed her into the fireplace. "Take a handful." He held out the pot for her.

She grabbed a handful of powder. "Diagonally!" She threw the powder down and green flames engulfed her and she was gone.

Ruff stepped up. "Did she say: 'Diagonally'?"

Tuff nodded. "Yep."

Ruff looked back at the fireplace and shook her head. "Idiot."

Rapunzel slid into a building and she was covered in dust. She stood and dusted herself. She looked around the building, it seemed like an antique shop, but it had mostly shrunken heads…then she came across a hand. Rapunzel smirked at the hand. "I know what you do." She shook her shoulders. "Alright." She put her elbow on the counter, holding the hand, and readied herself. "Let's see what you got." She grasped the hand, it grasped back, and she started to arm-wrestle with it! "You're pretty good." She halfheartedly laughed, neither her nor the hand showed sign of weakness. She continued on, but she knew it was a tie – she forcefully pulled her hand out of the others grasp, and smiled as it went back to its previous state. "Good match." She then walked out of the shop. She looked at all the dark clothed people and then walked on to her left, until someone grabbed her shoulder from behind.

"Are you lost, my dear?" The ugly woman asked, her smile was devious and adorned with yellow teeth.

"No, ma'am." Rapunzel quickly said. "I was just leaving." She turned to leave and saw more people start to surround her.

The ugly woman grabbed her shoulder again. "Don't worry. We'll help you find your way back."

All the people started to surround her.

Rapunzel's eyes started to form tears. "No, please I-"

"Rapunzel!?" Gobber yelled, some distance away – his voice made all the people part, so Rapunzel could get to him.

"Gobber!" Rapunzel ran to him and hugged him.

Gobber whispered to Rapunzel. "You shouldn't be down here. Let's go." He then led her away.

Once they were safe, Gobber started to talk to Rapunzel.

"What were you of all people doing in a dangerous place, like Knockturn Alley?" He asked as he pulled out more trash from her braid. "If you were seen there, people would think you were up to no good."

Rapunzel wiped away another tear. "I was lost." She sniffled, but then she furrowed her brows. "Why were you there?"

"Hogwarts business as usual – I was getting Flesh-Eating Slug Repellant. Nasty little things are ruining all the schools cabbages."

Then Merida came out of a book shop and went straight for Rapunzel. "Rapunzel!"

"Merida!"

The two girls hugged.

When they separated; Merida looked up at Gobber.

"Why hello, Gobber." Merida quickly hugged Gobber.

Gobber chuckled and hugged Merida. "It's nice to see you too, Merida." Gobber separated from Merida and cleared his throat. "Well, you all are safe now…I've done my job – and now I must retire to my previous Hogwarts duty." He turned and walked away.

"Bye!" The two girls said.

Merida grabbed Rapunzel's hand. "Come on now. Everyone's been worried sick about you." She led Rapunzel into the book shop and Elsa and Anna practically tackled Rapunzel with their hugs.

Rapunzel giggled at their embrace.

The twins let her go and Elsa was the first to speak.

"Don't you ever do anything like that again." Elsa scorned. "The first rule of Floo Powder, is to ENUNCIATE."

Anna and Rapunzel smiled and rolled their eyes at Elsa.

"Of course, Tuffnut would forget to tell you that, though." Elsa huffed and they walked back to all their friends.

When Flynn saw Rapunzel, he quickly grabbed her shoulders and put her next to him. "Guess-"

"Who's-" Anna continued for Flynn.

"Here." They said at the same time.

Before Rapunzel could ask who…

"Ladies and Gentlemen", a man started to announce, "Mr. Rupert Prince."

Flynn, Anna, and Rapunzel all squealed at the name.

Then, from behind the desk and the end of the bookstore came: Mr. 'Prince Charming' himself – Rupert Prince (Prince Charming from Shrek 2).

Everyone clapped, pictures were taken, and the three squealers jumped up and down; all the while, Rupert posed and smiled.

Then, the man noticed Hiccup – he stopped and looked at the others; he then smiled. "It can't be – Hiccup Haddock and the rest of THE Necro Nine?"

"The Nine!" A man with a camera quickly did his best to get them all to Rupert's side.

Once they were all up there, Rupert wrapped an arm around Hiccup, Rapunzel hugged Rupert, Flynn stood over Rapunzel, and Anna stood behind Hiccup, resting her chin on Rupert's arm; while all the others just stood around. Elsa, Astrid, and Kristoff stood next to Hiccup and Anna. Merida and Jack stood next to Flynn and Rapunzel.

"All of you smile." Rupert said genuinely. "This picture is going to make the front page." He quickly smiled for the camera and only his three adoring fans wore sincere smiles. "This is an extraordinary moment for me!" He rubbed Hiccup's arm. "When these nine came into Flourish and Blotts this morning…to purchase my autobiography: 'Magical Me'-"

The onlookers began to clap, except for Ruff and Tuff.

"For which", Rupert continued about his book, "is currently celebrating its 27th week atop the Daily Prophet's best seller list."

Everyone clapped again.

Hans stood above Rupert, on the second floor of Flourish and Blotts, shaking his head at the scene before him.

"These nine children", Rupert started up once more, "had no idea – they would be leaving this store with my entire collection of works…free of charge." He turned and waved his wand; and copies of his books went straight into the nine's arms.

Another picture was taken; and Rupert took his seat at the desk in front of him. "Now – ladies?" He smiled at the crowd.

Anna, Flynn, and Rapunzel quickly got in line to get their books signed.

When they were out of Rupert's sight, Astrid put her free books on a table and left them – and everyone followed suit. Before they could leave the store…

"Bet you all loved that didn't you?" Hans sneered, walking down from the second floor, tucking a piece of paper into his robes. "The famous Nine can't even go into a bookstore without creating a fuss." He stood in front of them, glaring.

Jack let out a small laugh and walked up to Hans. "What was it my brother said?"

Before he could finish; Hans shoved him away. Jack went to attack, but Hiccup and Kristoff quickly held him back.

A metal snake head, attached to a walking stick, met Hans' shoulder. "Play nicely Hans." A blonde man, with a nose like Hans', gently pushed Hans out of his way. He then turned to Hiccup. "Mr. Hiccup Haddock." He smiled. "I am Alistair Krei." He put out his hand. "It's an honor to meet you."

Hiccup took Alistair's hand.

"Forgive me." Alistair quickly pulled Hiccup to him and used his canes head to tilt Hiccup's head to the left, for a better view of his scar. "You scar", he looked up at the others, just as Rapunzel and etc. returned, "all of yours – are legend." He looked back at Hiccup. "As is the wizard who gave you all your scars."

"Drago killed…" Hiccup stopped, glanced at Jack, and looked back at Alistair, "many witches and wizards." Hiccup let go of Alistair's hand and backed away. "He was murderer."

"Hmm." Alistair said. "You're very brave to say his name so openly – or foolish." He grinned.

"Well why fear a dead man?" Kristoff asked.

Alistair looked to Kristoff. "You must be Hiccup's brother; an orphan – born from Muggle parents."

Anna grabbed Kristoff's hand.

Alistair continued. "Just as an orphan can reflect their adopted parents – either physically or in personality – so you obtained magical abilities from the Haddock family." He then looked at Merida, grabbed her book inside her metal container, and pulled her to him. "Curly red hair", he used his staff just as he did before with Hiccup, "and a strong demeanor that speaks for itself. You must be the DunBroch girl." He smiled at her.

Merida quickly pulled away, with a scowl on her face, and there was a small black book in her container – but no one noticed.

Alistair smiled at the nine children. "I would love to stay and take the time to admire your scars…but I must be leaving now." He then left with one last smile.

Hans came up to them all. "See you all at school."

"Hans Andersen Krei!" Alistair yelled.

Kristoff laughed. "Andersen? I thought your middle name was Isles."

Hans stormed out of the shop.

Alistair hit Hans with his staff. "Stop giving yourself those silly names." He walked behind Hans and as they walked away; Kristoff heard Alistair yell: "I should have never taken you to those silly Isles!"

"Well now we know where he gets it from." Astrid said and the others laughed; except for Kristoff.

"Yeah…" Kristoff whispered to himself. He felt bad for Hans, clearly the Southern Isles wasn't his family's favorite vacation spot – it was his…but why? It didn't matter, even if Hans' father does abuse him, it doesn't excuse his nasty behavior at school…right?

Later, they all were hastily walking down the train station.

"Two minutes!" Ruffnut and Tuffnut yelled and they ran straight through the stone pillar.

Jack and Hiccup were behind everyone else, they were talking about how Jack was going to be the new Hufflepuff Seeker, Astrid, Slytherin's new Beater, and Merida, Gryffindor's new Chaser.

Though they were in a hurry, everyone had to go in two at a time, to make sure they didn't cause chaos. It was then Hiccup and Jack's turn.

"Come on." Hiccup led.

They ran onward and Hiccup's cart hit the bricks, everything falling over including him – Jack tried to stop, but he just tripped himself over with his cart right behind Hiccup.

"You two alright?" A man asked.

Hiccup let out a sigh of pain. "We're fine. We just lost control of our carts."

The man nodded and walked off.

Jack looked up at a clock. "It's eleven o'clock! We're late!"

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Great. Now, how do we get to Hogwarts?" He started to pick up all of his stuff.

Jack smiled deviously. "The car."

After some time, they were in the car, getting it up into the air.

"Jack." Hiccup started.

"Yeah?" Jack asked.

"Last I checked: Muggles aren't used to seeing flying cars."

"Oops." Jack turned on the cars invisibility; and they were off!

They made it to the Hogwarts Express track, but the invisibility turned off on the car.

"What the?" Hiccup looked at the car.

"Invisibility must be faulty." Jack somewhat smiled.

"Take us to the tracks. We can't be too far behind the train."

Jack pulled the car over the tracks. "How far ahead do you think it is?"

They heard the train's siren.

Jack smiled. "We must be close!"

Hiccup looked for the train; and then the siren went off again…

The boys looked at each other, gulped, and they looked behind the car…

"AAHHH!" They yelled as they saw the train coming for them.

"Get off the tracks!" Hiccup yelled.

Jack yanked the wheel to the right; the car spun off the tracks, into the air, and then stationed itself over the train.

"Phew." Jack let out. "Close call, huh?" He smiled at Hiccup.

Hiccup let out a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad one of us didn't fall out of the car when you spun it like that."

Jack chuckled. "Yeah – that would've been a disaster."
