The same night of Hiro's attack on Hiccup, Merida was woken by her father calling her downstairs.
"Aye?" Merida asked, standing on her the staircase leading to her room, rubbing sleep out of her eye.
"Hello, Merida".
She recognized the voice and opened her eyes to see John Silvers in her home.
Silvers smiled at her. "Please get dressed. We have to leave soon".
"For what?" She asked.
"Merida" Elinor said, with mild sternness, and motioned her head to Merida's room; signaling her to do as Silvers requested.
Merida went and got dressed as requested.
Then, her and Silvers came out of her house to be greeted by Hiccup and four other people, the four being an African man, Silvers age, and an elderly Asian woman and an elderly white man; with the fourth person being a young woman, slightly older than Merida and Hiccup.
"Hiccup?" Merida asked, rhetorically.
Hiccup turned and said: "Hey, Merida", stoically.
Merida turned to Silvers. "This has to do with Hiro; doesn't it?"
Silvers started rubbing the back of his neck with his metal hand as he walked between the two teens and his group. He turned to the teens and forced a chuckle, he looked away, frowned, turned back to them, and said: "Mr. Hamada is facing some serious charges".
Hiccup quirked a brow and asked: "How serious?"
"He's facing trial and he may be expelled from Hogwarts" Silvers told them.
Hiccup sighed Hiro's name and looked to the ground.
"And" the younger woman in the group said to Silvers.
"And?" Merida asked, as she and Hiccup looked to Silvers.
"And", Silvers cleared his throat, "he may be sent to Azkaban".
"Oh, gods" Hiccup said, as he ran his hand through his hair and looked to the ground.
Merida looked to Silvers, devastation covering her face. "But he's just a boy" she said.
"Which is why you two are going with us" Silvers said. "You two will be witnesses of what transpired and you will defend Hiro in court."
"Court?" Hiccup asked, looking back at Silvers.
Silvers nodded. "The Ministry of Magic was convinced by North to give Hiro a hearing".
"We need to leave" the African man said (imagine Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet from Atlantis: The Lost Empire).
Silvers sighed and said: "Strongbear is right".
They all started to line up next to the road.
"Where're we going?" Merida asked.
"Headquarters" the young woman answered.
Silvers turned to her and scolded her by saying: "Hush now, Anastasia".
Anastasia was clearly angered and she turned to Silvers to say: "Don't call me 'Anastasia'". Her hair turns a bright orange as she becomes angry.
(The older woman is portrayed by Fa Li and the man is King Harold)
Silvers rolled his eyes, tapped his metal foot twice on the ground, and all their brooms came into their hands. He then said: "If you wouldn't mind, everyone, please stay in formation; and for the love of Pete…don't break ranks if one of us goes to Davey Jones' Locker".
Hiccup and Merida lightly laughed at Silvers and then they all were off to sky!
After a while of flying, they came to a street, in front of an apartment building, and Silvers tapped his foot three times on the ground.
The apartments became smaller as the building opened up to reveal a smaller hidden apartment.
"In you go" Silvers said to Hiccup and Merida.
As the two were walking down the hall in the apartment, they could hear adults arguing behind the door that was at the end of the hall.
Then Silvers and the others stormed past them and went into the room. They left the door open and the two teens could see Pitch, Mor'du, and Drac talking together at the table; the sight causing the two teens to smile.
Cass came into the doorway and smiled at the teens. "Merida and Hiccup".
"Aunt Cass" the two said with bright smiles.
Cass giggled at them, happy they used the name she told them to use, as she closed the door. She then walked up to Merida and the two hugged. "I'm glad to see you, dear".
"As I am, you" Merida said.
They separated; and Cass looked to Hiccup with love and shame.
Hiccup hugged her, causing her to 'oh'…but she hugged him back.
"I'm glad you're safe" Cass told Hiccup.
Hiccup exhaled heavily out his nose. "Is Hiro here?"
Cass pulled away and the two separated. "No", she answered, "he is with North right now".
"North?" Merida asked.
Cass nodded. "I'm sure the others can tell you upstairs. I have to get back inside to finish dinner for after the meeting. You two go upstairs and see everyone".
Merida and Hiccup grinned at each other and ran up the stairs, but after the first flight, they stopped running, due to someone talking lowly.
"Werewolf, mudbloods, traitors, thieves", the voice listed off. "If my poor mistress knew of the scum they let into this house…what would she say to Gru?"
Merida and Hiccup stopped at the end of the second flight.
"Oh, shame" they heard the house elf say.
The two went to the third flight of stairs as Gru just stared at them.
They went to the first door on the last floor, opened it, and…
"BOO" Fred, Ruff, and Tuff yelled!
Merida and Hiccup both fell on their butts from the scare.
"Oh", Hiccup groaned, "why are you two here!?" He glared at Ruffnut and Tuffnut.
"Are you kidding?" Tuff grinned at Hiccup and put his arm over Fred's shoulders. "I go wherever Fred goes".
Ruff put her arm over Tuff's shoulders and said: "And I go wherever he goes".
"Yeah", Fred nodded, "and I go wherever I'm told to go".
Hiccup shook his head at the three.
Merida had lain down and groaned. "You three 'bout gave me a heart attack" she complained.
"Hiccup?"
Hiccup turned and saw Astrid coming out of another room, wearing a red t-shirt with a brown skirt, blue leggings, and brown sneakers.
Hiccup stood and said: "Hey, Astrid".
Astrid jogged to him, hugged him, and kissed him. "Did those three scare you?" She asked, glaring at the three pranksters.
Hiccup sighed; Astrid had been much more worried about him since he saw Tadashi die, lose his foot, and started having nightmares. "It's okay, Astrid". He pulled her closer to him and gave her a reassuring kiss.
"Okay" Astrid said with a smile. She then turned out of Hiccup's hold, put her hands over her mouth to speak loudly, and said: "Hey, everyone. Hiccup and Merida are finally here".
Then the rest of the Nine, GoGo, Wasabi, and Honey Lemon all came out of different rooms and the sixteen teens congregated into the biggest room.
All the Nine's parents are in the Order, but Cass is simply there because her nephew is on trial.
The teens were all sitting around, not saying anything…until Wasabi spoke.
"What do you think they are talking about down there?" He asked the group.
"Oh" Tuffnut sat up excitedly from one of the beds, but he scared Ruffnut. He went to stand and was pushed by Ruff, sending him to the floor. "Ow" Tuff said when he hit the floor.
Everyone either smirked or rolled their eyes at the two.
Tuffnut put his finger up over the beds and said: "I have an idea".
They all gathered around the stair well as Tuffnut lowered an ear attached to another ear by a string to the first floor, so they could hear what was being said in the kitchen.
And through this they heard:
"We should tell them" Pitch said, "they have the right to know".
"Certainly not" Drac replied.
"They're not children" Pitch pointed out, "and without Hiccup, we wouldn't know Drago was alive once more".
"But", Valka interjected, "they aren't adults either".
"Valka makes a good point" the teens heard Aster Munds say.
"Aw, geez" Jack complained. "Why is Munds in the Order?"
Elsa gently elbowed Jack in the ribs and shushed him.
Then Gru walked up to the ear and cut the string holding it with a pair of scissors.
All the teens groaned at him; and he just grinned at them.
Rapunzel sneered and said: "What a foul little creature".
Later, after the meeting, the teens were going down the stairs for dinner.
Cass stood at the bottom, smiling, and said: "Hurry on down, you guys".
Fred and Tuffnut appeared to her sides and scared her.
"Oh" she yelled with a jump! She smacked Fred's shoulder and yelled: "Just because you're allowed to use magic now doesn't mean you can just whip out your wands whenever you want!"
As Fred and Tuffnut were running off, laughing, Tuffnut said: "My wand isn't the only thing I whip out whenever I want".
Stoick's voice shook the apartment as he yelled Tuffnuts name in a scolding manner!
As Jack and Flynn came down the stairs, Pitch met them at the bottom and asked if they wanted to hear more embarrassing stories about Drac, and they accepted the offer quickly.
After dinner, Tuffnut and Gru stared at each other as Gru stood in the doorway of the kitchen with a grin; while Tuffnut gave him a death glare.
Hiccup leaned back in his chair and complemented Cass on her cooking; then Silvers put a newspaper on the table in front of Hiccup. Hiccup 'hmm'd' and looked up at Silvers with a quirked brow.
Silvers looked down at Hiccup somberly and said: "Read it, boyo".
Hiccup looked down at the newspaper and the headline read: 'Hiccup Haddock the Liar' with a picture of Hiccup standing there after the final challenge of the Triwizard Cup. It then changed and said: 'Hamed: "All is well"' with the picture of Hiccup also changing, to a picture of Hamed standing at a podium.
Stoick then said: "He's also slandered North".
"Hamed is using his power", Mor'du started, "including his influence on the Daily Prophet smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned".
"Why?" Hiccup asked.
Stoick told Hiccup: "He thinks North is after his job".
"Who would believe that?" Astrid asked. "You'd have to be out of your mind".
"And Hamed is close enough to that" Valka stated. "Fear and warped and twisted his feeble mind".
"Hey" Strongbear glared at Valka. "Easy, Valka…I still work for the man".
Valka rolled her eyes.
"Fear", Drac paused as he spoke up, "makes people do terrible things" he said to all the teenagers. "The last time Drago came to power…he destroyed many things…" he coughed, holding back his tears. "And now the Minister will do almost anything to avoid acknowledging Drago's return".
Pitch continued the conversation: "We believe Drago wants to rebuild his army. During his last reign he had large numbers at his command. Not just witches and wizards, but all manner of dark creatures. He's been recruiting heavily, and we have attempted the same. Though, recruits may not be all he's searching for".
Stoick cleared his throat loudly.
Pitch continued: "We believe he may be after something".
"Pitch" Stoick warned.
Pitch sighed and said: "Something he didn't have last time".
"A weapon?" Jack asked.
Pitch went to answer, but all the mothers stood, including Cass, and told Pitch that the Nine, along with the others, did not need to know.
"You say anymore", Kari started, "and you might as well induct them all to the Order".
"Good!" Rapunzel said to her mom.
"Yeah", Merida rallied, "I want to join. If Drago is raising an ahmy, then I want-ta fight".
Pitch clapped his hands and leaned back in his chair with a smirk.
"YEAH", some of the other teens said!
"I don't" Flynn pointed out. He then flinched and protected the back of his head with his hands!
Everyone just stared at him.
Flynn turned to Rapunzel and asked: "You're not going to hit me in the back of the head?"
Rapunzel turned to him with a disappointed look and shook her head.
