Chapter 11 – Hogsmeade

"So Jack, have you got your permission slip signed for Hogsmeade yet?" I still hadn't asked the Headmaster yet and it was only two days until the trip.

"Erm not yet."

"Well, you might wanna hurry before all the slots are full." Hiccup said as he doodled in his notebook.

"Yeah, the only reason I'm allowed to go is because my mother is the supervising Professor." Rapunzel said as we sat in the library.

"Your mother?" I asked as I closed the book in front of me.

"Yeah, she's the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher." Right, the women with the black curly hair. I nodded in understandment as I got another book from the shelf behind me.

"I'm so excited, I've heard all about the shops there." Rapunzel squealed with excitement.

"Like Honey dukes sweet shop! That's the first place I'm going to!" Merida joined Rapunzel in excitement.

"And Zonko's Joke shop!" Rapunzel added.

"What about the Shrieking Shack?" Hiccup said with a wicked smile as he looked up from his notebook.

"The Shrieking Shack?" I asked as Merida and Rapunzel smiled at each other.

"It's said to be the most haunted building in Britain." Hiccup said again with that devilish grin.

"Ha, I'm sure I've seen worse." If being in Pitch's lair, where your greatest fears come to life, wasn't scary then I don't know what is.

Later that day, after struggling through all my lessons, I made my way to the Headmasters office. I came to arch way that held a large golden bird.

"Fruit Rock." I said out loud. The large statue started to turn and rise up, revealing a spiral staircase. I stepped on the top step as it starting rising, saving my from having to to walk all the way up. When the stairs reached the top I found my self sanding outside a a large wooden door. I knocked on the big grand doors and waited.

"Come in, Jack." I heard from inside. I slowly opened the hefty wood and slipped inside.

"Sir, how did you know it was me?" He just laughed as he stood up from behind his desk and walked over to a golden perch. There was a red and orange bird sat on it, cleaning its feathers.

"This is Fawkes, Jack, he's a phoenix passed on to me by the previous Headmasters of this school. He's a bird of fire. Much the opposite of yourself in fact." I walked over to the bird on the perch, intrigued by the creature.

"So what brings you to my office, Jack?"

"Oh erm, I was wondering if I could go to Hogsmeade with the rest of the students. It would be a really good opportunity to investigating outside of the school, see what people have seen or heard about Pitch." He thought about it for a while, stroking Fawkes on the head with his finger.

"Okay, you have my permission, just don't put any of my students at risk. This is supposed to be fun for them."

"Of course Headmaster, thank you."

"Will that be all, Mr. Frost?" He walked back over to his desk and sat down behind it.

"Yes sir, Goodbye." I left the room, closing the heavy door behind me and walked back down the spiral staircase.

The last two days went by pretty quickly, there was no appearances of Pitch and the corridors I searched where empty. Everyone was so excited about the trip, even I was pretty happy about spending time with Rapunzel, Merida and Hiccup outside of school. Everyone going on the trip had stripped free of their uniform and where wearing casual clothes. I decided to just wear black jeans, light blue shirt and navy blue jacket. I made sure I had my camera tucked into my pocket then made my way outside to meet the others. The three where waiting by the door for me. Rapunzel was wearing light blue jeans with a pink blouse and purple duffle coat. Her long blonde hair was in its usual braid. Like me, she wasn't wearing any shoes. Hiccup stood next to her wearing the same shirt and waistcoat he was wearing when I first met him but with different jeans. Merida was wearing a short brown skirt with black tights and boots. Her dark blue shirt was made out of a silky material under her black jacket. She was also carrying a wooden bow with a quiver attached to her waist.

"What are they for?" I asked her as I walked up to them.

"Weekends are the only time I get to practice." She shrugged as we walked out the door and towards the group of students that where gathering around Professor Gothel. We all started walk down the path towards Hogsmeade in a large group. Everyone was chatting to their friends, discussing their plans for the day. Where they where gonna go first and what they where going to buy.

We arrived in the small town, bustling with witches and wizards. There where quirky little buildings everywhere, slanted with tall chimneys. They where very different to the buildings back home in Burgess. Everyone started separating off in their own little groups, most people went straight for the sweet shop which is exactly where we started. We carried on walking down the path, me and Rapunzel walking behind Hiccup and Merida. I noticed that they where laughing and giggling, Merida occasionally punching Hiccup in the arm playfully.

"Is something going on between them two?" I whispered to Rapunzel with a cheeky grin.

"I dont know, they have been spending a lot of time together lately." Rapunzel whispered back with the same smirk.

"Oh look, I think Merida's blushing." We started laughing to each other, Merida and Hiccup completely oblivious to what was happening behind them when we reached the sweet shop. The windows of the shop where occupied by beautifully vibrant displays, bursting with psychedelic boxes of sweets. The inside was just as kaleidoscopic, full of brilliant hues. Every green wall was packed with shelves of sweets with weirdly unique names and tastes. The aroma of the shop was enticing, a sugary perfume of strawberries and syrup. There was a blare of laughing and chatting, hyper students charged with energy from eating one too many sweets.

"Oh wow." Merida stared around the shop in awe before excitedly running off into the crowd.

"Aw man she's gonna be hyper later." Hiccup wiped his forehead, already sweating from the intense heat swirling around the shop. I wasn't enjoying the heat either and was desperate to get back out into the fresh air.

"Lets just buy something and get out of here." I suggested as we barged into the crowd.

After we'd tackled the crowd and paid for out various delights, we made our way back to the entrance, bursting out the door. Hiccup and Rapunzel where bright red from the heat and where glad to be in the cool air of autumn.

"Where's Merida?" Hiccup asked, trying to be casual.

"She'll still be inside getting sweets, we'll rejoin her later. C'mon lets go find somewhere else." I suggested again. We carried on walking down the path until we came to an old broken fence. There was a huge deserted field behind it and sitting in the middle of it, surrounded by mist, was an exhausted looking house.

"The Shrieking Shack." Hiccup breathed. We stood there for a couple of minutes just staring at the building in astonishment.

"Well come on then!" Hiccup suddenly lurched forward, running towards the fence.

"No, Hiccup! WAIT!" Me and Rapunzel both shouted after him as he started climbing the fence but he'd ran at it too fast. His foot got stuck in the gap making him and the fence fall backwards, hitting the ground with a loud thump.

"HICCUP!" We ran up to him as he tried pushing the broken wood off him. Rapunzel tried to help but they where both too weak. The area was deserted so I picked up the fence with both hands and lifted it off him, throwing it over onto the field. I bent down and inspected Hiccups injury. His left ankle was bleeding heavily, staining the floor red.

"Oh god, oh god." Rapunzel was knelt by his head but she was looking at his foot. I tried numbing the pain by putting my hand on it but I could tell by Hiccup's face that it wasn't working, all it did was give me a bloody hand.

"Jack, I know what to do but you need to keep his head cool. Can you do that?" I nodded before swapping places with her. I placed my hand on his sweaty forehead, trying to calm him. His eyes kept fluttering open as he twisted in pain. I looked over at Rapunzel who had started unbraiding her hair. What was she doing? Her hair broke free and sprawled all over the floor. I had never realized how long it was before but it reached the floor and circled around her a few times.

"Woah.." Was all I could say as she started wrapping the ends of her hair around Hiccup's ankle.

"Rapunzel?" Blood started seeping through her blonde locks where it made contact with his injured foot. I watched in awe as she breathed out and started singing.

"Flower Gleam and Glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring Back what once was mine.."

Her hair started to glow, like golden ribbons of light, starting from her roots and spreading down her mane.

"...Heal what has been hurt

Change the Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine."

Her lit up hair returned to its normal colour as she started removing it from Hiccups ankle, revealing a perfectly health foot, not a spec of blood.

"Rapunzel that was-"

"I know, I'm a freak.."

"-amazing!" Her face lit up at the word, I smiled back at her then realized that Hiccup was still unconscious.

"C'mon we better get him back." I lifted Hiccup up and cradled him in my arms, carrying him back up the path with Rapunzel following closely behind. I saw her flick her wand behind her which quickly re-braided her hair. How efficient.

We reached the top of the path, where people started gasping and craning their necks to see who I was carrying. It was weird how everyone stopped and created a path for us to walk down in the busy town. Merida came running up to us, practically screaming.

"HICCUP! What happened!?" Rapunzel ran up to her from behind me and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"MERIDA! Calm down! We need to get him back to the school." Merida was still trying to push past Rapunzel when I made eye contact with her.

"Merida. Please. You're not helping him by acting like this." I stared at her until she looked away, took a deep breath and nodded.

"Right. Now, guys. Not that he's heavy or anything but I do think we should probably go now." They both stepped aside as I carried on walking up the path, Hiccup gently breathing in my arms.

Today had been very eventful so far and it didn't even have anything to do with Pitch.

I never got to take any photos either.
