Hello everyone! First of all I would like to apologize for the mishap on my quotations. I promise I didn't do that on purpose. I saved my file as a "text only" and it deleted everything else hence the no quotations. I replaced the first chapter. Feel free to re-read it, as it is better now.
Anyway, onwards with chapter two.
Word count: 3,012
This chapter I did it all in Hiccup and Jack's perspective. See if you like it or if you'd rather it be one person. I had to add more people from Pixar and Dreamworks animations in order to give this story characters without having a bunch of OC characters (I normally hate those...)
Special thanks to people who reviewed! wally's girlfriend, blazelight790, linkgirlz and the guest!
Chapter two
~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~
Everyone made their ways to the dorms and I felt miserable the entire time. I really didn't have much of anyone to talk to. This is why I would have much preferred being placed in a house with someone I had already met. Rapunzel would have talked to me, so would Merida. Heck, even Jack would be standing next to me. Although it seems he's already made a friend so he's way ahead of me…
Not that I was much too excited to come here in the first place, but now I'm even more miserable. My mother was a Gryffindor and I come here being all Hufflepuff. That name even sounds lame. And it's even alliteration with my name. Hiccup the Hufflepuff. Ugh. Odin, please tell me this is a dream. And by dream I mean nightmare…
I felt awkward getting settled in with my new dorm. I felt like the first years actually had bonding time and here I was… not being bonded.
"Hi!" I turned to my right and I saw a kid who grinned very… very enthusiastically. It looked like it hurt to smile that much.
"Hello…" I gave a small awkward wave.
"My name is Russel!" This kid still had all of his baby fat, clearly. He looked to be of Asian decent, had black hair, brown eyes and right now, the brightest smile I've ever seen.
"I'm Hiccup." He laughed at that and I sighed. "No, I'm being serious. My name is Hiccup." I insisted and he shrugged.
"Cool name." He admitted and I can say, I was decently surprised. I had never received a complement on my name… ever.
"Come to the basement, first years! You will be assigned to an upper classmen to enable you to learn about out dorm."
Everyone got up and went to the basement which I suppose is our common room. I felt rather… peaceful in the room. We had several sofas and there was mostly just plans askew and the room was rather large. They say that yellow is a color that is cheerful and warm. However it strains the eye. I guess the room being copper was slightly better.
I was approached by a fellow Hufflepuff. He was tall and lanky with really curly brown hair. He smiled at me awkwardly and waved.
"Hi, I am your mentor. My name is Linguini and I am a third year." He introduced and quickly doing the math in my head I concluded that he was either 14-15. And I smiled at him, finally, someone who had an odd name like me.
"Hi, I suppose that makes me an apprentice. My name is Hiccup." We nodded at each other and then stared around awkwardly. Well this just wasn't going to work if we were both socially awkward…
~Jack Frost~
The Slytherin dorm was cold. Just the way I liked it. I suppose we were underwater or something. Which is fine with me. There were several people who were actually looking terrified.
"Pansies. I don't know how they got sorted into Slytherin…" Dusk scoffed and I had to agree.
"Alright everyone. Listen up. I want a straight line and go." I feel like everyone rushed to meet this guy's commands but Dusk and I kind of shuffled a bit. This guy was rather large. Not fat, just very big and built. He had an oval face and his hair was really short and brown.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. You guys are clearly the best, being sorted into Slytherin and all…" A few people shared smirks. "… but don't think that makes you better than your upperclassmen. I am Slytherin's prefect, you will obey what I tell you and you will be very happy here indeed."
"My name is Buzz, and I have been informed that I need to do some 'getting to know your fellow classmate' bull or whatever so just get to know at least two people and I can move on with my life. Go." He turned around and everyone looked around awkwardly and I sighed. Time to bring out the fun…
"Hi guys. My name is Jack Frost and I like the cold weather." I announced loudly. "So it's a good thing I got sorted into Slytherin because there isn't a lack of that around." I spun in a circle and plopped on the couch. There were a few chuckles and I smirked. "Now you all know me."
"My name is Dusk Black and I like darkness so I suppose it's also a good thing I was sorted in Slytherin because we're in a dungeon and I can barely make out any of you it's so dark in here." He sat next to me.
"I'm Dash Parr. I'm a speed demon and I suppose it's a good thing I got sorted into Slytherin because I always come in first." He gave a thumbs up and sat down next to Dusk. There I knew three people.
I turned to face them and smiled.
"How are you guys doing today?"
Dusk and I were holding a map and wondering around the school trying to find where the hell our Herbology class was. Dash quickly caught up to us and glanced at the map himself.
"Well I don't suppose with all the magic we could get a 'you are here' pointer to make things easier, huh?" He had a very good point.
I glanced up and I'm glad I did. I noticed Hiccup was in front of us. He was a Hufflepuff so that means he's practically raised in the greenhouse.
"Hey Hiccup!" I called and Dusk and Dash stared at me really confused.
"Why are you talking to him, he's a Hufflepuff?" Dusk asked quietly. I ignored him.
"Who names their kid Hiccup…?" Dash added, and I ignored him too.
Apparently Slytherin's were closer to Ravenclaws and Gryffindors were closer to Hufflepuff. I didn't care. I didn't see Rapunzel so Hiccup was my best bet. He turned around, kind of surprised to hear his name. When he saw me, he gave me a thankful grin, for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why. He walked over to me and I smiled at him.
"Uh, yeah, Jack?" He asked and I flipped the map over.
"I have no clue where the hell the Herbology room is." I said with a sigh and he gave me a grin.
"Well luckily for you, I know exactly where that is. I'll show you." For someone who was walking by himself, he sure was glowing with pride.
"Thank you Hiccup, you're the best." I said very thankfully and he turned pink.
"Thank you. I have never heard that before so thanks." He nodded and I could tell Dash was going to make a comment so I elbowed him and he glared at me.
We followed Hiccup for about 8 minutes and Dusk was getting rather impatient. He sighed loudly and I stared at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Where the hell is this place, Narnia? Do you even know where you're GOING?" He asked Hiccup and Hiccup nodded without even turning around. Poor kid.
"It's just outside here…." He opened a door and there it was. We were standing in front of the greenhouse.
"Thank you very much Hiccup. I'm sorry if we made you late to your class." He shook his head and showed me his textbook.
"I'm in this class too so don't feel bad." He smiled shyly and ducked his head and quickly walked away.
"Why are you so mean?" I scolded when I looked at Dusk. He looked rather embarrassed.
"I'm sorry I was getting impatient." I rolled my eyes and we strode into the Herbology class. I was rather fond when I saw that Rapunzel was in our class too. I thought only two houses had the same class together but I guess everyone was here. Rapunzel was standing next to Merida and Hiccup looked rather relieved to see them and quickly joined their side. Rapunzel smiled brightly and hugged him. He looked so shocked.
"Who is that?" Dusk asked, wide-eyed and I noticed that he was staring at Rapunzel.
"Why? Do you like her?" I teased with a grin and he gave me a look and just continued to marvel at her. I mean, I could see why. She was very pretty and all. I just felt like he shouldn't be gawking at her. I gave him a sideways look and nudged him. "You're drooling. And that is Rapunzel. I met her on the train. I'm not exactly sure that you'll be able to handle her. She's everywhere." I noted and Dusk looked at me very seriously.
"Can you please introduce us?" He begged and Dash chuckled.
"Yeah yeah." I made a very over-dramatic sigh which was completely wrong because I actually DID want to talk to Rapunzel and I was kind of bummed out that Hiccup ran away from me. Even though I was really mean to them before I guess I found an appreciation for them in a way… Not Merida. She's glaring at me again.
I walked over and gave the trio my best smile.
"Long time no see." I said sweetly and Rapunzel beamed. I guess she thought I'd forget about her after I got sorted into Slytherin. She quickly hugged me and I could feel Dusk's jealousy behind me.
"Hello Jack!" She said softly and Hiccup looked kind of shocked that I was there. "Who are your friends?"
"Oh, these guys? Well this is Dash." I pointed and then I wrapped my arm around Dusk and brought him closer. "This is Dusk." Hiccup gave me a suspicious look which is strange because that's usually Merida's job… Oh wait. Merida reapplied for her job and got hired it seems…
"Nice to meet you guys. Are you going to stay with us the whole class?" She asked and before I could even answer, Dusk blurred out a yes that was said way too quickly to be considered smooth. I rolled my eyes and Dash gave him a look and he turned a cute little shade of pink. Hiccup narrowed his eyes.
When class started we had to stand around the table so in the order we had Dash was to my left, Hiccup to my right, then Dusk, Rapunzel and Merida.
"So do Hufflepuffs have a super-secret advantage in this class?" I murmured to Hiccup to distract him from Dusk talking to Rapunzel. I don't know why he looked so bothered.
"No such luck." He retorted and I chuckled and looked at him. He smiled slowly at me then looked down.
~Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III~
My head was hung. I didn't exactly know what to do right now. Jack was being… oddly friendly. I thought he hated me but good thing he doesn't. I'm pleasantly surprised to have what seems like a budding friendship.
Ha-ha. Budding. Like flowers. It's funny because we're in Herbology… Yeah I'll shut up now.
I don't like Dusk. I don't like him talking to Rapunzel and from the look on Merida's face, she didn't like it either. I think he's shady.
Ha-ha. Shady. Like Dusk Black. It's funny because that's his name… Yeah I really need to stop humoring myself, I'm actually pretty positive it isn't healthy.
"Did ya see that?" Merida said with an annoyed look when class was dismissed. She nudged Rapunzel being heavily hit on by Dusk.
"Yeah it's weird. I've never seen someone so young lay it on so thick." I replied and Merida glared at me. "Yeah, I know. I don't like it either. He seems like he's up to no good."
"I agree. And I think Jack is to blame. I mean, look at him. He's enjoyin' it." Merida said with narrowed eyes. I had to disagree with her. Jack was one of my only guy friends… Kind of. Are we friends? I digress.
"No actually I don't think Jack is the bad guy here. He isn't even paying attention." I defended quietly and Merida shook her head.
"Somethings not right about him." She insisted and I sighed and shrugged.
"Well maybe but I can't exactly say I am the Czar for judges of character." I admitted and she didn't respond. We saw Rapunzel nod at Dusk, smile, wave and walk over to us.
"What was that about?" Merida asked with a smile. Seems she's being buddy-buddy now. I probably shouldn't blow her cover then.
"What was what about?" Rapunzel looked honestly confused.
"Him." I pointed out bluntly. "He has a crush on you. And we were just wondering what your feelings in retaliation were." Merida elbowed me. "Ow. Why would you do that?"
"So? Since Hiccup is very… charming, come on. Tell us." Merida smiled and Rapunzel looked confused again.
"I don't think he likes me. He didn't say it." She admitted softly and even I could face-palm right now. She's more dense than I am.
"He doesn't have to say 'Hey, I want your children' to like you, Rapunzel." I said blankly and Merida elbowed me again.
"Ah, again with the elbowing." I rubbed my arm and she ignored me.
"Of course, Rapunzel." She agreed and we all walked out.
"Hey Hiccup!" I turned and I was pleasantly surprised to see Linguini. I smiled at him and waved myself.
"Hey. What's up?" He finally made it to my side and he was breathing a bit heavy and when he caught his breath he smiled.
"Quidditch." He said proudly.
"…gazuntite?" He laughed and shook his head.
"No. It's a game. Were you raised by muggles or something?" He chuckled and put his arm around me and led me to a field.
"Um… Sort of. But where I live, there are a surplus of dragons if that means anything." Linguini looked impressed.
"You ride them ever?" He asked and I smiled proudly.
"Yeah." Linguini nodded.
"Well then, you're going to love this. It's a flying game…"
The game seemed rather straightforward. All except I don't know if I'd like flying around on a broom. I mean, a dragon is one thing. I feel as though it's exceptionally safer.
"Well anyway, why are you telling me this? I thought first years couldn't really join sports." I asked and he shrugged.
"Well a few years back they changed the rule. After a first year made it as a seeker they decided to expand their horizons and here we are today." I sighed.
"Please don't tell me this is recruitment. I don't even know how to fly a broom."
"Yet." He grinned.
Flying class. How very appropriate. I hadn't even noticed it was anywhere in my schedule. This was perfect though. I got to see all of my friends… Well my two friends and Jack. I'm still not sure if he's my friend but he smiles at me and that's a lot nicer than what everyone else does so I'm going to agree that he's my friend.
At least to myself.
Jack looked rather cocky in this. He held a huge smirk when the teacher was going over the rules involving how to mount a broom. Rapunzel looked kind of scared and Merida looked so excited. She was bouncing up and down.
"What if my hair gets caught in the broom…?" Rapunzel asked me softly. She could. I mean, her hair was always in a braid.
"I doubt that'll happen." I assured outloud. But now that I think about it, it is a definite possibility.
"Now I want you to put your hand over your broom and say 'up'." Our professor instructed. Of course Jack put his hand over his broom and barely had to do anything. It was in his hand. I had a harder time.
"Up." I demanded. It laid there unmoving. I frowned. "Up." I repeated myself. "Oh you.." I glared. "Up! Up I say!" Jack was staring at me and laughing. I blushed and turned away. "Thanks, now you're making me look silly." I huffed and then realized I was talking to a broom.
"Come on, Hiccup. Put a little umph into it." Jack called and I sighed and stood up straight and tall.
"Up!" Absolutely nothing happened. Odin really hates me.
Merida had her broom and Rapunzel just stared at hers. She didn't want it to come up. She just looked at it like it was going to attack her. Her hands were held to her chest and she was frowning. I felt kinda bad.
"Rapunzel." I called and she looked over to me. "Don't worry. You'll be fine. I promise." I held up my hand and she smiled at me and very carefully put her arm out. She was shaking.
"U-up." She said softly. I smiled. She was more pathetic at this than me.
"Rapunzel." I scowled. It was Dusk. She looked up at him and he smiled sweetly and held his hand over his broom. "Let's do it together. Deep breath." She followed the instructions. "Hand out strongly. Stand tall. Now time for authority. Up." His broom very easily flew into his hand.
"Up." Rapunzel copied and it shuffled on the ground but didn't move. She looked distressed. At least her broom did something.
"Again."
"Up!" There we go. She got it. And she looked so proud. I wish I could've helped her but I can't even get my own darn broom up.
"Up." I looked at my broom and it still didn't move. "I'm calling out on this broom. It's rigged." Jack placed his broom down and walked over to me.
"Let me show you." He said with a grin. "Up." Yup. His hand now contained my broom.
"I demand a new broom. Mine is prejudiced against me." I called and Jack laughed and motioned for me to try his broom.
"Um… Up?" Jack shook his head at me.
"Come on, Hiccup. Like you mean it. Picture it in your head.
"Up!" And what do you know. It flew up. I smiled at Jack, he smiled back.
How was it? Tell me who your favorite added guest was.
Tell me if you like hearing Hiccup or Jack more.
Even tell me things you'd like to happen since I'm literally writing as I go. This story has very few plot points as of now. If you want to add a tidbit, just review. :)
