Chapter Three, Waking up

Harry groaned as he started to come around. he flinched and quickly shut his eyes tightly as the bright lights aggravated them. "It's alright Harry. I'm here." A voice said soothingly to him. Slowly this time Harry opened his eyes so they adjusted to the light and so he could adjust to the rush of memories that he suddenly got as his mind remembered all that had happened in the last few days. "Dad!" Harry whimpered at the pain in his head and in confusion for how they'd ended up in this strange place.

"It's alright Puppy," Sirius soothed running his hand through his long silky, curly hair. "Here drink this." Sirius said handing him a pain reliever potion and helping him to sit up slightly so he could drink it. Once he'd drunk the potion Sirius looked around to see if Rose was anywhime near, though he added a silencing charm as a precaution, before he told him everything that had happened after he'd blacked out and what he'd told the people here in a whisper. "Puppy you need to stick with what I've told you as the others may turn on us, though it is sort of the truth and this maybe the fresh start that we needed." Sirius said kissing his son's forehead.

"Promise me you'll never worry me like that again. And if you ever have a fit again I want you to tell me straight away. Understand?"

"Okay dad I promise." Harry said as he leaned forward to the edge of his bed so he could hug his fathim, wincing slightly as his sore muscles protested. "Ahh! I see your awake then." A rough woman's voice called from the other side of the room. "Your father has been exceedingly worried for you young man. He's barely left your side and the times that he did was only because of an order from the Chief." The woman tutted, disapproval clear in her voice and Harry knew instantly that she was the healer of this village, she had the same vibe as Madam Pomfrey and Madam Rozabella, the nurse on the dragon reserve in Romania.

"My name is Rose and I've been taking care of you since you and your fathim arrived hime three days ago." The woman Harry now knew to be Rose introduced. "Now I want you to eat something and I might let you go after that. But I want you to promise me that you won't do anything strenuous for the next couple of days and I want you to take it easy so we can see exactly what is causing the fits.

I know you will do what I ask otherwise your father and Chief Stoick will let me know as your staying with Stoick and his son, my nephew Hiccup for awhile to your house is built." Rose ordered, handing over a tray with a steamed cod, some potatoes and veg and a glass of water. "I want you to eat as much as you can." she said before walking away.

"This is your room," Stoick said as he opened the door and stepped back so Harry could see into his room. "Your father's room is next door to you with Hiccup's a few doors down and mine down the hall. I know it's not much; but I hope you like it." Stoick said unsurely.

"I love it. Thank you Stoick." Harry said, throwing his arms around the sometimes gruff man. Stoick awkwardly patted him on the head.

"It's fine. Dinner will be ready at seven in the Great Hall. Hiccup will show you and Sirius there. Right I'll... just let you settle in then." Stoick said awkwardly before leaving the room.

Shaking his head smiling slightly Harry un shrunk his beaded bag, placing it on the bed as he began to unpack all of his things that he'd been able to grab before they escaped.

"Puppy I'm gonna go work with Gobber in his shop." Sirius told his son as he kissed his forehead. "I should be back just before dinner, but while I'm out I don't want you to do anything strenuous okay. You can go out but I don't want you to exert yourself." Sirius said sternly.

"I promise dad." Harry promised as he waved to his dad as he left the house. After he'd shut the door he walked back over to where he'd left his book and settled into a chair to continue reading his favourite book.

Harry sighed for what felt like the hundredth time as he wondered around the house looking for something to do as he had finihed his book half an hour ago, though he was quickly coming to the conclusion that thime was nothing else he could do in the house as he'd cleaned it from top to bottom literally. Sighing he left the house to see what else he could do.

As he wondered around the Plaza he noticed Hiccup and Toothless walking through the village and heading in the direction of the Training Academy, that Stoick had told him and dad about yesterday. Harry smirked slightly as he snuck along after them deciding that whatever they were doing would be much more interesting in whatever one of the older Vikings would have had him doing if he'd continued to linger aimlessly around the Plaza.

"Shh Toothless. Don't tell Hiccup." Harry whispered with his right pointer finger against his lips when the dragon looked behind and saw him sneaking along behind them. Making a huff sound Toothless turned back around and ran to catch up with Hiccup. Harry smiled happily to himself as he continued sneaking behind them as he stuck to the shadows which helped that it was turning rather cloudy. he knew he shouldn't be out and about just yet but he was bored and curious about the village he found himself in, but Harry would soon find out that those two things never mixed well together.

Looking up Harry saw that if he didn't pay attention he was going to lose Toothless and Hiccup as they were just about to disappear into the distance and it would not be a good idea as he had no idea where he was or how far away from the village he was. he regretted being so focused on being sneaky that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings that if he lost Hiccup and Toothless now he'd be lost and that was not a very good idea especially not long after his latest fit. Looking up he noticed that Hiccup and Toothless had gotten even furthim away from him, giving up on being sneaky Harry raced after them determined not to lose them or to get lost.

Hiccup's P.O.V.:

"What is it Bud?" Hiccup asked when he saw Toothless stop out of the corner of his eyes, and his ears prick up looking around alert at the way they had come. As they stood thime Hiccup waiting for Toothless to move so they could continue on their way to the Dragon Training Academy or for whatever Toothless could hear to come closer so they could find out what it was; Hiccup heard it. It was the sound of small feet slapping against the ground.

Hiccup grabbed his new and improved shield and held it aloft ready to defend himself against whatever was pursuing him and Toothless. It was a tense few minutes before Hiccup saw what or rather who had been pursuing him. "What are you doing here? Your supposed to be resting Harry!" Hiccup said sternly.

"I know. I know. But I had finihed my book and cleaned the whole house from top to bottom and I was bored and didn't have anything else to do, so I was wondering around the Plaza when I saw you and Toothless and decided to follow you to see what the Dragon Training is like. I know I should have asked you and I'm so sorry Hiccup." Harry apologised after he had gotten his breath back.

"It's fine Harry I was just worried about you. If you want you could come with me and watch, you won't be able to do much but you could join in with the quizzes but you won't be able to participate with the exercises." Hiccup said nervously.

"That's fine. Thank you Hiccup, I just wanted to come and watch to see what it was like. Maybe I could help as in my old village before we were attacked I used to help out at the dragon reserve that we had there." Harry told him.

"Really?" Hiccup asked looking excited at the prospect of learning more about dragons so they could better understand them. Harry nodded his head smiling. "Okay then, come on the Academy is this way." Hiccup said as he lead him towards the Academy asking him all sort of questions about the dragons he had helped looked after and about his old village.
