Chapter Two, Healing

Spitelout turned around and saw the familiar faces of his son, nephew and their friends Fishlegs, Astrid and the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut. "I'm sorry Snotlout but I have to get these two to your mother, the boy has a serious head injury and if I don't get him there now he'll die." Spitelout said apologetically to his son before turning around and motioning for Sirius to follow, they'd not gotten more than five steps when they were stopped yet again but this time it was by the boy with one leg sitting astride a Black dragon.

"Uncle Spitelout if your in a rush to get him to Aunt Rose maybe I could take him on Toothless as we'd get thime quicker." Hiccup suggested. Spitelout looked at Sirius with an eyebrow raised silently asking him what he wanted to do. Sirius looked at Harry who was going deadly pale, making a decision Sirius nodded his head. "Take him but be careful. If he is injured anymore than he already is, I won't be responsible for my actions." Sirius informed the boy with a slight growl in his voice as Spitelout gently handed over his son to the boy.

"I'll be careful with him Sir," the boy said to him as he adjusted his grip on Harry as he turned to his dragon. "Hiccup?" Spitelout called before he took off. "Tell Rose that Harry had a seizure and hit his head on a rock and Sirius was taking him to be healed but they were attacked and had to flee their Island. Sirius has tried to heal the wound with healing spells as he is a wizard as is Harry, but nothing has worked." Spitelout ordered.

"I will don't worry." He assured his Uncle and the boy's fater before he turned to his dragon. "Alright bud get us to the hospital hut and fast." The dragon made a purr like noise as if he was reassuring him before he took off into the sky flying quickly but carefully to the hospital hut as if he was mindful of the injured boy on his back. Sirius watched the dragon until it had flown out of his sight scared that his son may fall out of the boys arms and off of the dragon in his unconscious state. "He'll be fine Sirius I promise you. My nephew Hiccup won't let anything happen to him and my Rose is the best healer and will make sure he gets the best treatment." Spitelout assured him resting his hand on Sirius's shoulder comfortingly.

"How about we go and see the Chief now, as we'd only get in Rose's way and that way Stoick and I can have a hut set up for you and Harry when he's allowed out." Spitelout suggested. Sirius sighed as he looked to where his son had disappeared too, he knew that would be the better option as they'd only get in the way, but he didn't want to leave him. Reluctantly Sirius nodded his head as he knew it was the better option as he didn't want to do anything that would cause his son more harm than good. "Alright." Sirius agreed.

"Excellent," Spitelout exclaimed. "Has anyone seen Stoick?"
"I saw him talking to Gobber outside Gobber's shop." A chubby boy with golden blonde hair answered, sitting astride a brown chubby dragon that had skin that appeared to be covered in boulders. "Thank you Fishlegs. I need all of you to start looking for an empty house, if there is none then you'll need to collect a lot of supplies and help the men build it. We need to get this done right away preferably before Harry is let out of the hospital. Is that understood?" Spitelout asked looking at all of them but mainly his son.

"I won't let you down dad." Snotlout said fiercely.
"Good. And when Harry is better you all best be looking after him, especially you Snotlout and it goes for Hiccup as well, as Hiccup is the future chief and you son are the future captain of the guard so it is up to the both of you to make sure that Harry is well looked after when he is with you." Spitelout said fiercely looking at each of the teenagers in the eye.

"We won't let you down Spitelout and you can can count on us to look out for your son Sir when he's better." A tough Girl with light long blonde hair said. Sirius nodded thanking all of them including Spitelout again before the teens left and Sirius followed Spitelout in silence to where the Chief was said to be.

"Stoick? Gobber?" Spitelout shouted as he and Sirius came within hearing distance of the two men.
"What is it Spitelout? And who is this?" Stoick asked looking at Sirius with a frown on his face, especially as he noticed the blood stained shirt the pair of them were wearing. "This is Sirius Black, Stoick I found him in the forest along with his seriously injured son. Hiccup has taken him to Rose." Spitelout informed.

"How did you end up on Berk?" Stoick asked eyeing Sirius suspiciously. Sirius quickly told the two men before him everything he had told Spitelout making sure he didn't leave anything out so he wasn't called out on anything.

"Don't worry all of Berk will make sure you and your son are safe, your Berkians now and we look out for our own." Stoick informed Sirius.
"Thank you," Sirius said gratefully.
"There is no need to thank me. You and your son can stay in my house until your house is ready and your son is properly healed. There is plenty of room and I won't hear any arguments." Stoick stated fiercely. Sirius nodded gratefully he couldn't be more thankful to these people who willingly took Harry and himself in despite not knowing who they are.

"Now lets go and see how your son is doing." Stoick stated, there was some things he had to do but he could see that this man was worried about his son, so the things could wait. "Gobber, Spitelout I want you to help with Sirius's house. Make sure it is close to my house so if there is trouble or Harry gets sick again, help would easily be at hand." Stoick ordered. Once Gobber and Spitelout had left Stoick led the way to the Hospital Hut.

"Hiccup? What are you doing here?" Stoick asked surprised. He was surprised to find his son and Toothless in the room as he knew his son had Dragon Training Academy duties to do. "Hello dad, Sir." Hiccup nodded to his father and Sirius as he stood up from his chair beside Harry's bed where he had been wiping a cool cloth over his forehead. "Toothless won't hurt him Sir!" Hiccup assured Sirius noticing that he was looking at Toothless with an emotionless expression upon his face. "Oh, I know Harry has always had a way with dragons. I was wondering what type he is as I've never seen his kind before. And call me Sirius, Sir makes me feel old." Sirius told him.

"Toothless is a Night Fury, the last of his kind I think as no other has been spotted." Hiccup told him before turning to his dad. "I'm here because I wanted to make sure he was alright Aunt Rose has healed the cut on his head and the other smaller cuts on his body, but he has a fever and I was trying to help bring it down while Aunt Rose made the medicine."
"He's alright. Harry is alright?" Sirius asked interrupting whatever Stoick was going to say. His voice was filled with worry and his eyes shined with unhed tears.

"Ahh! You must be his father?" A woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes asked as she entered the room. "Harry will be fine. I've healed his head wound but he does have a slight concussion, but he should be fine in a few days but I would like to keep him here tonight and maybe tomorrow depending on how he is when he awakes. As Hiccup said he does have a slight fever but that seems to have come down slightly. I'm Rose Haddock, wife to Spitelout and healer for this village." The woman now known as Rose introduced herself to Sirius.

"Nice to meet you Rose. I'm Sirius Black. Thank you so much for healing my son." Sirius sighed as he sunk bonelessly into the chair Hiccup had vacated. "And thank you Hiccup for everything you've done for him."

"Yes good job son." Stoick praised clapping Hiccup on the shoulder. "You'll make a great chief someday. Right I'll leave you to it. Rose I'll see you later and Sirius I'll go and see how your house is coming along and make sure you have some supplies delivered to my house." Stoick said waving away Sirius's thanks before leaving the Hut.

There was silence in the hut as Rose went back to stocking up her supplies in case they were needed and Sirius sat watching his son as he slept while Hiccup stood in silence contemplating his question. "Ask whatever it is you want Hiccup." Sirius stated making Hiccup jump and leaving him wondering how he knew that he wihed to ask something as he was still facing Harry. Shaking his head to clear it Hiccup cleared his throat hesitantly as he asked his question hoping he wasn't stepping over some line with this new man.

"Sirius? What did you mean when you said Harry has a way with dragons?"
Sirius chuckled slightly as he thought back to his near heart attack when he saw Harry working with the dragons in Romania before they were attacked. "You must understand that when he awakes he'll be very shy as he has been hurt badly by people who should have loved and cared for him. Which is why we moved to a new island as Dark Witches and Wizards were trying to kill him. Now we thought we were safe on our new island that his friends second eldest brother lived on. On this island they had a Dragon Sanctuary that held all different types of dragons that are known to only witches and wizards.

Harry helped out at the sanctuary often I nearly had a heart attack when I found out. We didn't kill dragons but we also didn't ride them either. They were left alone as much as possible only with us interfering when necessary, for instance feeding them, and sometimes helping to hatch the eggs, especially when it is a first time mother as they are not too sure what to do. Some dragons were kept away from each other by pens, they had a large enough space so they are not in a cage and can fly and hunt for themselves but so they don't kill each other or there offspring as some of the dragons are territorial.

Anyway Harry had a way with the dragons, able to get close up to the most hostile and extremely dangerous dragon making all the experienced workers there seem like trainees. It's hard to explain it without seeing it for yourself, but they just took to him whethim it was his kind and caring nature. But I'm lucky to have a son like him." Sirius said seriously a small proud smile playing at his lips as he looked over at his son.
