I feel like I haven't been updating as much lately...Sorry. Hopefully this double update will make up for it. Due to frequent requests, I have decided to label whose POV each section of the chapter is written in. I hope you enjoy!

I waited in the Great Hall with Punzie, trying to spy the familiar snow white and auburn head's of my friends. Punzie was putting away her potions textbook when Hiccup walked in. He appeared much happier and refreshed.

"Chief!" I called. Hiccup turned to look at me and smiled. He made his way over, tucking his leather journal into the folds of his over sized robes. "They're posting the Tournament's teams after dinner. Whose team do you want to be on?" I decided to evade the topic of potions. For now.

Hiccup shrugged. "It doesn't really matter to me. What about you?"

"I'm hoping for at least Bunnymund's team." I said. "He nearly beat North two years ago."

Suddenly, Jack slid in between us, breaking me and Hiccup apart. I frowned at him.

"What are you carrying?" Punzie asked him.

"This, my friends, is a really confusing scroll." He said. He dropped it onto the table. It was about the size of a map, and the parchment was old and dusty. "I've been trying to translate it for days, but I don't actually know what language it's in."

"What's it for?" I asked him.

Jack hesitated. "My Mom asked me to translate it for her. It's an old family heirloom."

I frowned slightly. That seemed odd. Old family heirloom?

"Why didn't you just use a translation spell?" Punzie asked.

"My parents have tried that." Jack said. "It's got some sort of curse or something on it. Last time they tried, there was a small fire."

Jack turned to Hiccup. "I was thinking maybe you could translate it." He said.

"Me?'' Hiccup asked. "Why?"

"Because you're smart and stuff."

"And you're lazy." Hiccup sighed. He reached over and grabbed the old parchment. His eyebrows drew together into a frown and he eyed Jack.

"I didn't know your family was descended from Vikings. This is old Norse." He said.

Jack shrugged. "Neither did I."

Hiccup spent a moment more studying Jack's face before turning back to the parchment. His eyebrows rose in surprise. "It's a prophecy, or a prediction."

"Cool." Jack said.

"What does it say?" I asked him. Punzie leaned in from where she sat beside me, eager to hear about the old prophecy.

"To sum it up...mostly darkness and power. There's a passage about animagi and a...Night Fury." He whispered the last two words.

"Night Fury?" Rapunzel said. "What's a Night Fury?"

"The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself." Hiccup muttered. He placed the scroll down and handed it to Jack. "Those are some serious predictions right there. Pretty...foreboding."

"Sounds great." Jack said. He rolled the scroll up quickly, and tucked it into his book bag, which was never used to hold books.

Suddenly, the food disappeared from the table and everybody looked up to Headmaster North, who stood at the speaking podium.

"Lists for Flying Tournament ae posted on east wall of castle!" He said. There was loud cheering, followed by a muffling silence. "If you made team, check with Professor's for more information. Tournament will be two weeks from Tuesday! Good luck to all students!" He cheered and the Great Hall exploded into noise.

"I can't wait to see who made the teams!" I cheered. Punzie looked just as enthusiastic as I felt while Jack frowned at the parchment and Hiccup wrote something down in his journal.

"Come on you guys!" Punzie said. "Let's go see who made the teams!"

First practice: The 25, after midday meal

I ran over to my friends beaming. They were all waiting for the results of the Quidditch teams.

"Hiccup! Merida! You both made Prof. North's team!" I squealed.

"Really?" Merida gasped. "Haha! Finally, we are going to win this year!" Merida cheered.

Hiccup smiled and Jack patted Merida's shoulder encouragingly.

"Congrats Merida." He said. He glanced at Hiccup. "You too Horrendous."

"Thanks, Jackson." Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"So when's the first practice?" Merida asked. "I hope it's during Potions."

"I don't know." I said."The list said after midday meal on the 25th."

Merida groaned. "That's two whole days from now. I'll never make it!"

"Oh no, how will we survive?" Hiccup deadpanned.

Merida punched his arm playfully, and grinned.

"We've got a free period." Jack said. "Why don't we go flying?"
