Book Hiccup POV (Middle Earth...in English)
After tutor it's our first lesson, English, with Mr Jones. I sit at one of the round tables with my best friend Fishlegs, we're studying a book called The Lord of the Rings, as a whole class we're not that far into it, but I finished it a while ago and so has Fishlegs. The two blond haired girls I saw earlier come to sit on the other two seats round our table, and I recognize them as Camicazi and Astrid; me and Fishlegs had got to know them towards the end of last year, they're quite nice actually.
"Hi" I say awkwardly. Mr Jones starts talking about what we're going to be doing this year. We started The Lord of the Rings in the summer term last year.
"You are going to work in your tables to create our own version of the Middle earth map, with creative place names and a few mythical creatures. This project will be your work for this week and next, and you may get some homework on it" he tells his class. "Hiccup, (here he is referring to the other Hiccup) you join Astrid's table". Wodensfang wriggles in my pocket and I go under the table to 'get my pencil case' and subdue the wriggly rat. The teacher hands each table a large A3 sheet of paper, stained with tea bags for an older look.
We've been mixed into a group with 'The Snots' as they call themselves (I have no idea why) and the other Fishlegs in our class. I'm looking forward to this project and a million and one ideas are already buzzing through my head at light speed. Next to me, Fishlegs looks..erm, displeased at being put with The Snots for what could have been (and still very much is, in my opinion) a brilliant English lesson.
Astrid's POV (Groupings, and landmarks)
Great. Inventive ways to spoil a great lesson - pair me with the Snots. Superb.
We set to work planning our map. At least, everyone but them help - they appear to be busy brushing one of their moustaches with a compass. Ugh. Unfortunately, Snotlout is on one side of me though Hiccup is on the other. I pointedly ignore their flexing of muscles - what kind of rubbish parent lets their child get stabbed with a needle this young just to put ink in them?! I'd rather die than have that…
In the middle of the map we decide on a lake cheerfully named the Lake of Triumph and Despair - surrounded by the Solitudial Mountains and Doom Chasm. What a fest of happiness.
Encircling the whole map is the Forest of creation which is full of the original animals - all of the ancient magical creatures live here: elves, warlocks, gremlins. It's a nice place. Although why we decided to make the gremlins live in Merlin's postbox I don't know. Does Merlin even get post? I suppose that if the Elven Lords have tree houses with firemen's poles, nothing is impossible.
