-2 years later, on Harry's 17th birthday- (Hiccup's P.O.V.)
I gulped nervously as I rubbed my feet, twitching lightly, hearing a amused warble from Toothless next to me, {"Sorry, bud, I am so nervous! Today, I am going to be married to Harry, and on his birthday, no less. This is really big, so stop teasing me, Toothless!".} I glared at my other best friend, and Toothless nodded silently as he settled down.
{"Relax, young man. Your mate will be here. Harry has been through everything with you, Hiccup.".} assured Merlin on the podium, holding his staff. I smiled sheepishly, {'Sorry, Merlin. You are right as you always have been, sire.".} Merlin and Starlight has visited Berk every few months over the past two years since he left in the spring. He also brought along his past students as well, remarkably having their own dragons in our dragons' children.
There was the leader of the four, Godric Gryffindor, a strawberry blonde man with dark blue eyes, wearing a muted red tunic over brown trousers, with a respectable beaver fur coat, and light brown boots, amazingly well with a sword. I have almost beat him two times already, and yet he's a incredible teacher, even better than Dad. Behind him is his dragon, Sparkfire, the son of Hookfang. Next to Godric, is the healer of the four, Helga Hufflepuff, a light brown-haired beauty with amber gold eyes, wearing a lovely sun-golden dress, covered with a silky fox coat, and dark brown boots. She often helped Gothi and Harry, and taught them many healing lessons.
Behind her is one of Meatlug's daughters, Hillside, one of the light green ones. There's the inventor of the four, Salazar Slytherin, a coal-black haired man with dark green eyes, wearing a light green tunic over black trousers, with a lined furry sealskin coat, and silver-gray boots, on Helga's right. He could talk to snakes, which he had taught Harry about, for Harry had the skill. Behind him is Nightpaw. He grew from this speedy, friendly boy into a protective, perceptive dragon which impressed me, Harry, and Nightpaw's parents, Toothless and Starlight.
And there's the mind of the four, Rowena Ravenclaw, a dark brown-haired beauty with light blue eyes, wearing a gorgeous purple dress, covered with a deerskin coat, and light brown boots. She actually taught Fishlegs how to organize, make a library, and more. Behind her is Cloudtail, Skychaser and Windstrike's daughter. She grew from this bossy, prancing girl into a playful, smart dragon.
Merlin and the others, including the gang, they actually helped us save the Sanctuary Dragons from being enslaved by Drago, which by coincidence, I had found my mother who's actually alive. I looked over to see her smiling brightly, holding hands with Dad. I could never imagined that she could have been the first Dragon Rider before me, yet she is, with her beloved dragon companion, Cloudjumper behind them, next to Skullcrusher, Dad's dragon. There are some new Berkians as well, one of them being the ex-trapper, Eret, son of Eret. He has a new dragon companion in Moonclaw, the daughter of Toothless and Starlight.
Over the past two years, I had some squabbles, disagreements with Harry over some silly, stupid things, yet arguing about putting a end to Drago's tyranny was the worst one, a huge fight.
Harry and Skychaser vanished out into a storm, and I and Toothless tried to find them, and I feared losing Harry out there as I couldn't bear it. We had found that we can read thoughts from each other, but in a storm, it was impossible. We nearly crashed into a seastack, and I blacked out, and there in my dream, I met Harry's parents, and they showed me a terrible memory, a memory of war, which earned me to remember Harry's side of the fight. I came to, being found by a panicked Harry and a curious Valka, who's my mom, in the Sanctuary caves.
Now, with the White Alpha of the Sanctuary giving permission for Berkians to visit and for the Sanctuary dragons to visit Berk as well, we now have a connection with many lands now. Merlin called the Archipelago, 'The Avalon Lands'. The Founders of Hogwarts can now apparate in Berk or the Sanctuary, teaching us all how to do that. We still use the boats for fishing, and trading, but now we are in air travel upon our dragons.
Toothless nudged me suddenly, crooning softly, and I chuckled gently, {"Just lost in thought, bud. Can you believe that I asked Harry to marry me only two days after the Big Battle?".} Toothless snorted, smiling in delight. Drago are dead, and the Black Bewilderbeast has returned back to the Sanctuary, begging for the White Alpha Bewilderbeast to forgive him after White Alpha fought him along with Toothless. I made up with Harry, which ended in another one of our make-out thing.
Toothless had became the alpha dragon of the Berkian Dragons, and today, besides my and Harry's wedding, we are to become co-chiefs in training with Dad teaching us. I smoothed down my green tunic, brown trousers, and ran a hand through my hair which is a bit braided at the ends, thanks to Mom and Astrid's help, and having a warm black bear pelt on my shoulders. I took a deep breath, calling for Harry, {"Are you ready yet? I am so nervous!".}
I heard a warm giggle in my mind, {"Be patient, Hiccup. Almost ready. Just listen for the song.".} I licked my lips, smiling weakly, standing tall and firm. I soon heard the call of the cow horn, then the drums beating to the rhythm of the traditional song. At the edge of the clearing, I saw my raven walking so handsome, beautiful in his own way. His raven black hair with his colored streaks is tied back into a loosely low ponytail, with the sides over his shoulders, and his fringe was cut short to show off his gorgeous bright green eyes which are hiding the speckles of white and blue within. He's wearing a white tunic, with a green Wizarding robe, over brown trousers, black boots, and a silvery-white fox pelt on his back of the shoulders. {"You look amazing, my raven.".}
I heard Harry hum lightly, {Not so bad yourself, my beautiful inventor.".} I blushed lightly at his tease, and I reached out a hand for him to grasp, and I felt his hand grip into mine gently, and we turned around to face Merlin. {"People of Berk, all dragons, and newcomers, we have come to witness the union of two very wonderful and incredible men I have come to know. Berk, you have the son of the chief, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, marrying Harry James Potter, a son of the British Islands. They have become the very first Dragon Riders, and to the astonishment of my dear friends, this young couple has the merits of a strong soul bond.".}
Merlin then spoke to us one by one, {"Hiccup, do you swear to love this man, care for him, protect him from all danger, and listen to his word, and take his advice, as long as you live?".}
I exhaled softly as I stared into Harry's eyes, his soul bright and warm, {"I do.".} Harry smiled brightly, and listened to Merlin as he spoke, {"Harry, do you swear to love this man, care for him, protect him from all danger, and listen to his word, and take his advice, as long as you live?".} Harry nodded, {"I do.".}
{"Gothi, if you may.".} Merlin politely asked Gothi as she stepped into the podium, holding a bowl of ash, and I and Harry got a knee down, facing Gothi. I felt her calloused hands trace my forehead, marking it with the rune of the chief, and then I heard Harry exhale as Gothi traced his forehead, marking the same rune, and we got up, looking at Merlin.
{"By the blessing of the gods, and the power of love, I pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom.".} Merlin happily proclaimed with the flash of his staff. I took Harry's cheek, and Harry smiled softly, then smirked suddenly, spun me around as I yelped, but I stopped at once when I felt his lips upon mine, and I hugged him, relishing in the kiss passionately, hardly hearing everyone cheer.
{"Hiccup and Harry Haddock, co-chiefs in training of Berk!".} I heard Gobber shout in happiness. I ignored everything as I thought to Harry, {"I love you, Harry James Potter-Haddock.".} Harry purred as he thought back to me, {"I love you, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock-Potter.".} I pulled back, smiling in happiness and love.
{"Hey, how about having a big race?!".} asked Astrid as she came up to us, grinning with a challenge glint in her eyes. Harry looked at me, and then tagged me, {"First one gets the black sheep!".} He then ran with a laugh as he jumped into SKychaser, and I laughed merrily as Toothless dived under me, and I landed in the saddle, hearing the cheers and shouts of the gang and the Founders as they jumped into their dragons, as we began another one of the Dragon Races once again.
Today is the best day ever! Thoughts of the big night faded away as I focused on beating, er, helping Harry.
