After Jack tamed his Monster Book, he heard a knock at his door. When he opened the door he was faced with Flynn.
…They just stared at each other for a moment. Then they both looked at the ground…
"Thank you." Jack looked to Flynn. "F-for bringing me Baby Tooth."
Flynn looked at Jack for a second, looked to the side, and shrugged. "I didn't do it for you."
"I know."
Flynn sighed and looked at Jack. "You know…I can understand why you were mad with Dad, but I can't understand how you stayed that mad for so long."
Jack shrugged his shoulders.
Flynn looked to the ground. "Maybe it's some kind of spiritual connection that you have with Mom, since she actually gave birth to you."
"Hey." Jack gently pushed Flynn. "She's your mother as much as she is mine." He lightly smiled.
Flynn chuckled a little. "Thanks." He then inhaled deeply. "Are you still mad at Dad?"
Jack looked down. "Yeah."
"Thought so." Flynn looked down too. He looked back up to Jack. "But…"
Jack looked to Flynn.
"I guess I can kinda understand why." Flynn shrugged.
The two solemnly smiled at the other.
"Well come on!" Flynn put his arm around Jack's shoulders and proceeded to push him out of the room. "Everyone's downstairs waiting."
Once downstairs, Jack was talking with Hiccup about his summer.
"So, how was Ireland?" Jack asked.
"It was awesome." Hiccup replied. "Dad got hammered every night. It was the funniest thing in the world."
Jack smiled widely. "I bet." Jack then turned to Astrid, who was sitting across from Hiccup. "What did you think?"
"It was a great first vacation together." Astrid said to Jack, but winked at Hiccup.
The others started whistling, oohing, or making purring sounds.
Tuffnut and Ruffnut then walked up.
"Those two couldn't stop sucking face for two minutes." Tuff said.
Ruff laughed. "We had to pry them apart one time."
Hiccup rolled his eyes. "That's so far from the truth it's not even funny."
"Oh, isn't it?" Tuff ruffled Hiccup's hair.
Hiccup groaned and then fixed his hair.
Ruffnut sat next to Astrid. "Poor Kristoff never got to hang with Hiccup."
Jack smiled. "I don't doubt it."
"Jack!" Valka came up with her arms open.
"Aunt Valka!" Jack stood and hugged her.
Valka held Jack's face like Vlad did before. "I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"Do you have all your things?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"All your books and clothes?"
"Yes, ma'am; they're all upstairs."
"Good." Valka smiled, kissed Jack on the forehead, and stepped aside for Stoick to see Jack.
Stoick held out his arms. "Hello, Jack."
"Hey, Uncle Stoick." Jack smiled and hugged Stoick.
Stoick picked him up and said: "Let's talk." He then carried Jack away.
"Okay." Jack accepted the moment.
Once they were on the other side of the room, Stoick put Jack down.
"Looking forward to this year at Hogwarts?" Stoick asked.
Jack nodded. "Yes, sir."
Stoick nodded and then put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "The others wouldn't want me telling you this, but I think it's important. You nine are all in danger."
"Because of Pitch Black?"
"What do you know of him, Jack?"
"He murdered some people and now he's escaped from Azkaban."
"Do you know why he escaped?"
Jack shook his head.
"Thirteen years ago: when", he then whispered, "Drago…disappeared – Pitch lost everything, but to this day he still remains a faithful servant. In his mind you nine children are the only ones standing in Drago's way of returning to power – and that is why he has escaped from Azkaban…to find all of you."
"And kill us."
Stoick nodded.
"But why are you only telling ME this?"
"Because you were the only one dumb enough to run off by yourself last night."
"I thought Eugene came here last night by himself."
"No. Your father had me bring him here, along with everyone else."
Jack nodded.
"Now, promise me this, Jack." Stoick got down to Jack's level. "Promise me that you will not go after Pitch."
Jack looked to all his friends, who were laughing and having fun, and he imagined them all at the playground he saw. He then looked back to Stoick. "I promise."
Later that day, the nine were looking for an open spot in the train and then came up to one occupied by a large sleeping man.
Jack shrugged. "We can't all sit in there…he takes up two seats by himself."
Merida grinned at the sleeping man. "Don't care." She opened the door and quickly sat down by the man.
"Alright." Jack shrugged again and sat next to Merida.
Flynn grabbed Rapunzel's hand. "Come on." He pulled her in with him.
Elsa grabbed Rapunzel's hand and then grabbed Anna's, going inside with the couple; all four sat across from the other three people.
"Well", Hiccup started, "I guess WE, the Three Amigos…" He gestured to himself, Astrid, and Kristoff. "Will find somewhere else to sit."
The 'Three Amigos' left in a sarcastic huff and their friends laughed at them.
Flynn looked at the large man. "So, who do you think he is?"
Merida looked at the man dreamily and said: "Mor'du Mathan."
Rapunzel quirked a brow at Merida. "How do you know that?"
Merida pointed above her. "I read it on his suitcase."
Jack stared at Merida in feigned fear. "Stalker-ish much?"
Merida continued to stare at Mor'du, not paying any attention to what Jack said; and everyone else just shrugged.
"Do you think he's really asleep?" Elsa asked.
Jack stood and closed the door. "Hope so." He then told them everything he knew about Pitch Black.
Once Jack was done; Flynn paled and gulped loudly.
"So", Flynn inhaled, "someone else wants to kill us all."
Merida shrugged. "Must be Tuesday."
Flynn was the only one who didn't laugh at Merida's joke.
"I mean", Anna started, "they'll catch Pitch."
Elsa nodded. "Yeah – everyone's after him."
"Sure." Flynn's bottom lip quivered. "They'll totally catch the first man to escape from Azkaban that's a total raging murderous lunatic."
Merida looked at Flynn incredulously and then sarcastically asked: "Who popped rainbows up your chufter?"
"My what?" Flynn asked.
Merida rolled her eyes. "Your ass."
Again, everyone laughed except for Flynn.
The train came to a screeching halt!
Once everyone relaxed back against their seats; Elsa asked: "Why did we stop?"
"There's no way we're at Hogwarts yet." Anna said.
Jack stood, opened the door, and looked out into the hall – as did many other students – then the train shook and sent Jack back to his seat.
Flynn freaked a little. "What's going on!?"
The door closed.
Merida shrugged. "Who knows…we probably broke down."
The lights then went out.
Rapunzel turned to Flynn; who had his hand against the window, looking outside. "What is it?" Rapunzel asked.
Flynn gulped. "There's something out there."
They heard other kids complaining about the lights.
"Something's coming." Flynn said; and the train shook again.
Then the room became cold…and the window iced over dramatically fast.
The train practically jumped!
"What is happening!?" Flynn yelled and Rapunzel grabbed his hand.
Then they all heard deep loud breathing from the hallway, they looked towards the door and…a Dementor came into sight.
The Dementor made its way to their door slowly, opened it, hovered in the doorway…it looked at the four to its left, and then it looked at Jack.
Jack furrowed his brows at the Dementor.
The Dementor started to make a weird sound and Jack began to feel extremely sad and was feeling as if he was being drained of something.
Mor'du stood, pointed his wand at the Dementor, and a bright light came from his wand and covered the entire room!
Jack then fell unconscious.
After sometime, Jack woke up, with his head on Elsa's lap.
Jack sat up, looked at Elsa, and blushed.
Elsa smiled and Mor'du held out a piece of chocolate to Jack.
"Eat this." Mor'du said. "It'll help."
Jack stared at it for a second.
Mor'du smiled. "It's okay, it's chocolate. At least…what's left of it that is."
Jack took the chocolate.
"You're friend here", Mor'du gestured his head to Elsa, "and the Strawberry-blonde there", he looked to Anna; who was sitting in Merida's lap to keep the redhead contained and being held by Merida to keep herself contained as well, "almost killed me trying to eat all of the chocolate."
Jack looked at Elsa. "Chocoholics." He took a bite of his chocolate.
Flynn was shaking as he held Rapunzel, having her sit on his lap. "What was that thing that came in here?"
"It was a Dementor." Mor'du answered. "It was a guard for Azkaban." He looked at Jack. "It's gone now though…it was searching the train for Pitch Black. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to have a word with the driver." He patted Jack's knee and stood. "Eat up – it'll make you feel better." He smiled and then left.
Jack took another bite of the chocolate. "What happened to me?"
Rapunzel got out of Flynn's lap and hold. "You started to convulse a little when that Dementor was looking at you. We didn't know what was wrong, but then you went unconscious."
Jack put the whole chocolate in his mouth, seeing Elsa and Anna staring at the bar of deliciousness. "And did any of you", he swallowed his treat, "did any of you pass out?"
"No." Flynn said. "But it felt like I would never be cheerful again."
Jack smirked and the girls rolled their eyes.
Anna then bounced to Jack's left. "Look." She held up a mirror to him.
Jack looked at the mirror and noticed a small white chunk of hair over his right temple. "Whoa!" He took Anna's mirror and looked at himself. "Weird."
Anna giggled. "But it's awesome too!" She grabbed her braid with the white streak. "We're like twins." Anna's face scrunched and she started to giggle uncontrollably.
Jack patted Anna's knee. "Calm down there, Kiddo."
Astrid opened the door and she was wearing her Slytherin robes. "Get dressed and be ready for our performance, you guys."
"RIGHT!" They all said and nodded.
Once at Hogwarts, the nine sat at the front of their class tables, eager for their performance.
North stood at his new podium. "Before we officially start our evening with this year's news, we will have a special performance from our very own: Necro Nine." He went back to his seat, clapping; and everyone clapped for the nine as they stood in front of everybody.
(original composers of this song is The Ministry of Magic on YouTube, but some lyrics have been changed)
Hiccup, Merida, Elsa, and Jack stood next to each other on the stage, facing the crowd of students, while the other five stood to the side waiting for their cues.
Hiccup started the song: "I'm a Ravenclaw, I like to read books. When I cast spells", he held up his wand, "they're off the freakin' hook."
Merida: "I'm a Gryffindor, I'll fly with my friends." She put her left fist on her hip and her right in the air. "We'll never back down, and fight to the end." She then winked.
Elsa: "I'm a Slytherin, I am very rich. I'll go on a date with whoever gets the Snitch." She held up her index and middle finger like she caught the Snitch between them.
Jack: "I'm a Hufflepuff, just stayin' relaxed. Gimme drinks and friends", he put his arm around Elsa's shoulders, "no feuds", he wagged his finger, "we got tact." He held Elsa closer to him.
Elsa pushed Jack away and said: "Ew. Who brought the Hufflepuff?"
Jack chuckled. "Hey, I'm just trying to have a good time over here."
Elsa puffed and Jack wrapped his arm around her again.
Jack: "A good tiii-iiii-iiiiime."
Jack and Elsa: "A good tiiii-iiiii-iiiiiime."
Then Flynn, Astrid, Kristoff, and Anna stood on the second step. Flynn in front of Hiccup, Astrid in front of Merida, Kristoff in front of Elsa, and Anna in front of Jack.
Flynn: "I'm a Ravenclaw, got wit beyond measure. I can catch a snitch, like it's caught up in a tether."
Astrid: "I'm a Slytherin, the house of the snake. Come get in my way, and get tossed in the lake." She took a fighting stance and bounced on her feet.
Kristoff: "I'm a Gryffindor, and we own the sky. Yeah we always win, with our rally cry." He took the same stance Merida did before.
Anna: "I'm a Slytherin, top of my class. If you disagree, I'll kick your Muggle ass." She then mimicked Astrid.
Kristoff turned to Anna. "Uh, Anna…you're not even in Slytherin."
"I know." Anna nodded. "But my sister is." She then pointed to Elsa.
Kristoff and Jack began to gently hit Anna with the soft part of their hands under their pinkies, as Anna ducked and covered her head, while they sang: "Let's beat her uuuuu-uuuuuu-uuuuup."
Then Elsa joined Kristoff and Jack. "Let's beat her uuuuuu-uuuuu-uuuup."
Anna walked away and stood off to the side.
Then Elsa, Rapunzel, Kristoff, and Hiccup stood on the bottom step. Elsa in front of Flynn, Rapunzel in front of Astrid, Kristoff just took a step down from where he was, and Hiccup stood in front of Anna's previous spot.
Elsa: "I'm a Slytherin, a big fan of wands." She showed off her wand, but then put her free hand against the side of her mouth and sung in a hush: "Because we're in school, I have to say wand."
Rapunzel let the students laugh before she started to sing. "I'm a Hufflepuff, we're true to the end. United we stand, so I'll stand with my friends." She then took the same stance Kristoff and Merida took.
Kristoff: "I'm a Gryffindor, as brave as they come. And my namesake sword, will get the job done." He stood proudly with both fists on his hips.
Hiccup: "I'm a Ravenclaw, my brain", he pointed to his head, "is super fast. Like Sheldon Cooper, but not a total ass."
Kristoff asked: "So, who's this Sheldon Cooper guy anyway, Hiccup?"
Hiccup nodded and smiled. "He's from the show: The Big Bang Theory."
Kristoff then said: "You're out of the band." And he started to push Hiccup to Anna. "He's no Spooooo-oooo-ooock."
Hiccup put his arm around Anna's shoulders and they walked off as Hiccup sang: "I don't wanna goooo-ooo-oooo."
Everyone applauded for the group.
Hiccup and Anna stood back with everyone; they all held hands and bowed.
Then North welcomed all the students to a new year, he introduced Mor'du as the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Munds did not clap for him, he also announced Gobber as the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher; everyone clapped and cheered for the obviously delighted man.
"Now, onto a lesser note." North said. "As requested by the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will be hosting the Dementors of Azkaban. Until Pitch Black is apprehended."
All the students began to whisper about Pitch Black and the Dementors.
"AND", North said loudly to quiet the students, "the Dementors will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds. I have been assured they're presence will not disturb our day-to-day activities…but I must give you a word of caution."
Jack could swear that North was looking directly at him.
"Dementors are vicious creatures." North stated. "They do not distinguish between the one they hunt and one that gets in their way. Which is why I am warning every single one of you…you must give them no reason to harm you – they are not forgiving." He looked at them all and then smiled. "But happiness can still be found in the darkest of times!" He waved his hand by a candle and its flame went out. "But only if one remembers to turn on the light." He waved his hand back past the candle and it was lit.
Later, Merida came up to the Fat Lady, who was holding a glass cup and 'singing'.
"Fortuna Major." Merida said; but the Fat Lady put her hand up, ignoring Merida and began to 'sing' once more. Merida turned to Kristoff. "She won't let me in."
Kristoff grinned and said: "Fortuna Major."
The Fat Lady put up her hand again. "No, no. Wait, wait. Watch this." She pointed at the glass, cleared her, throat and sang LOUDLY; causing the students to cover their ears in pain. She struggled to hold her pitch; she then broke the cup against the pillar behind her and gasped with a wide smile. "Amazing and just with the sound of my voice."
Merida and Kristoff rolled their eyes. "FORTUNA MAJOR."
The Fat Lady scoffed. "Yes, alright." The picture opened up for the Gryffindors.
"Thank you." Merida said and they all stepped inside.
Kristoff smiled at Merida. "I can't believe she's still doing that after three years."
"I know." Merida giggled.
Then they both said: "And she can't even sing."
Merida nodded. "Exactly."
Kristoff nodded too. "Yep."
They then went their separate ways.
That night, Flynn, Jack, and Hiccup snuck into Kristoff's room with the Invisibility Cloak and were eating candy, but they decided to eat some candy that made them blurt out animal sounds.
Hiccup picked one up.
"That one's a monkey." Flynn said.
Hiccup started to make monkey cries, everyone laughed, and he tried to move around like a monkey.
Kristoff held his stomach. "Are you trying to move like a monkey?"
Hiccup stopped and he joined in on their laughter.
Jack threw a candy at Flynn. "Try an elephant, Flynn."
Flynn ate the candy and with every elephant cry he jumped like he had the hiccups; and they all laughed.
"Kristoff, catch." Hiccup threw one to his brother.
"Oh yeah." Kristoff caught the candy, ate it, and started to roar like a lion.
The others clapped, lightly cheered and laughed.
Jack then popped one in his mouth and steam came out his ears with the sound of a train.
Hiccup jumped, grabbed a pillow, and yelled: "Vietnam flashback!" He hit Jack with the pillow and they all started to roughhouse!
