"Last day!" Hiro said, climbing out of bed and stretching. "Ready?" He asked. Their other roommates groaned, still sleepy, before dragging themselves out of bed. "Jack?" Hiro asked, walking over to Jack's bed. He threw back the covers, ready to flop on him in order to wake him up but… he was gone. "Come on, Hiro! You're going to make us late!" Jack said, smirking and leaning against the door. Hiro smirked.
"Aren't you just a little bit sad to leave?" Hiro said. Jack shrugged. "Not really," Jack said, "we'll just be back here after summer break is over." "Promise you'll write?" Hiro said, pointing at him. "Promise, you big baby." Jack said, rolling his eyes. "Now, come on! Double check and let's get going! The farewell breakfast spread has the best food!" Jack said. Hiro laughed, and practically stuffed all last minute things into his trunk and they raced downstairs.
"Jack! Hiro!" Rapunzel said, smiling. "Hey guys!" Anna said, waving at them maniacally. "Hey girls." Hiro said, sitting down. "Ooh, they do have the best food." He said, piling on almost everything he could get his hands on. He couldn't eat a bite of it, though, because he was too excited to see Tadashi and his Aunt Cass again. Jack looked at him and chuckled. "What's wrong bud?" He questioned. "I'm just excited," Hiro said,"I mean everything went so fast!" Merida chuckled at them. "Ye lads act like ya've been 'ere for only three days," She said. "It feels like it!" Hiro countered.
Jack chuckled again as he bit into a piece of mixed fruit pie. He wouldn't admit it, but he was excited to, he couldn't wait to go back to Diagon Alley and see Hiccup again. It was amazing, how he could feel like he needed to see Hiccup, even if he had only met him once and talked for a short amount of time. It was… sort of weird, but there was no way that Jack would admit that there was any amount of crushing going on here, nope. Not possible. Not even going there.
"Jack." Merida said, punching his shoulder harshly. Jack blinked, and looked up at her. "Huh?" He asked, looking at her. He rubbed his arm, offended. "I've only been trying to call you for about three hours." Jack rolled his eyes. "We haven't been there for three hours." "Ya know what I mean!" Merida said. "Well, why?" Jack asked. "Ah, well…." Merida said, trying to remember. "What are you doing this summer?" Elsa said. Merida smacked her forehead, shocked that she would forget something so simple as that. "Oh." Jack said. "Nothing, just gonna be home and play with my sister…" Jack said. 'and beg to go to Diagon Alley every day until I find Hiccup again' he refrained from adding, because they wouldn't get it. And he didn't want to answer those unnecessary questions they would ask anyways.
"Boring!" Hiro said. "Well, what are you doing?" Jack asked, knowing full-well he had nothing better to do than… "Help my brother with this new robot he wants to build!" Hiro blurted out, his excitement clear in his face. Everyone stared at him. "What?" He asked, looking at them expectantly. "What's a robot?" Anna asked. "Well, it's um… well, it's this… it's hard to explain to people who don't know what technology is…." Hiro said, fiddling with his fingers and looking at them with an almost apologetic face.
They just shrugged. "For what it's worth, it sounds cool!" Rapunzel said, smiling. "Thanks." Hiro said. "What about you guys?" Hiro I don't get sunburned…" "You're going to make it snow, right Elsa?!" "Yes, Anna." All their answers came at once. Hiro and Jack looked at each other. "Cool." They said at the same time, because, to be honest, there were question both of them wanted answers to, but they didn't want to ask.
"Everyone!" Someone, probably a sixth year excited to get out of here, said. "Train's here! Let's get going!" Some cheered, some yelled in protest, others laughed and did both. but, after a while, they were all loaded up onto the Hogwarts Express and shipped out of the wonderful castle called Hogwarts.
This train ride, though, was different. Now, they were leaving Hogwarts behind, seeing the Forbidden Forest and the Astronomy Tower disappearing because of the distance. And they were going back home, to their real homes, because Hogwarts was only open for so long even though it was their home away from home. And it was different because Jack and Hiro weren't the only two in this compartment. It was… actually sort of crowded right now, and Jack tried to not look out the window for as much as possible, it was only a reminder that they were leaving.
Not that Jack didn't want to leave, because he was psyched to see Emma and his parents again (and Hiccup), but he would miss his friends and Hogwarts and everything else that went along with it.
The train ride was over waaaaaaaay too soon, and they all jumped off the Hogwarts Express, scanning the crowd for family or saying rushed goodbyes to friends. Jack and Hiro stayed close together, clutching their trunks and owls. They said goodbye to the girls as they went on their way, but the two of them stayed together, trying to make the most of the time they had left and goofing off before either of them found their family.
"No way, that lady totally looks like a dude!" Jack joked. "Whoa, that's a lady?!" Hiro whispered, shocked, before the two of them burst out into laughter. "That boy just fell flat on his face." Hiro pointed out, laughing at the toddler that did so after they calmed down from their laughing fit. Jack snorted. "Little kids are weird." Jack said, looking at the kid oddly. "How so?" Hiro asked. "When they get hurt, I don't know whether to laugh or to help them." Jack replied. "Well, that's mean. You should do both. Duh." Someone said behind them. Hiro gasped.
"Tadashi!" Hiro yelled, launching himself at his big brother. Tadashi laughed, hugging him back. "Whoa, slow down there!" He said. Hiro let go, and he was looking excitedly from Jack to Tadashi. "Jack, this is my older brother." he said, smiling. "Hey." Jack said, waving. "Ah, the widely-known Jack Frost." Tadashi said, sighing and smiling. "I've heard a lot about you." Jack just looked at Hiro, who shrugged. "I had to tell him about my best friend, right?" Hiro said. Jack laughed. "I've heard a lot about you too." Jack said. "Well, you'd have to come over some time." Tadashi said. Hiro smiled. "Yeah! You should! I mean, if you want to." He amended, looking at Jack. "Sure, that'd be cool." Jack said, smiling, before something collided with his side. He looked down and saw it was Emma.
"Gotcha!" she said, smiling. "Ems!" He yelled, hugging her. She laughed. "Oh, Emma, this is my friend Hiro and his brother Tadashi." Jack said, after she detached herself from his side. "Hi, again." She said, waving at them, before turning to Jack. "Again?" Hiro questioned. "We saw you at Diagon Alley," Emma said. "Oh," Tadashi said. "Mom and Dad are waiting for us." Emma said, turning to Jack.
"Got it." Jack said. "Well, see ya Hiro, Tadashi! Have a good summer!" He said. "You too, Jack!" Hiro said. Jack hauled all his things to where his parents were, and naturally, warm welcomes and hugs and kisses followed. Soon, the piled into their car and drove home. all hsi uncertainty about going back home was gone, and now he was just happy to be back.
~Two weeks Later~
"Jack!" His mom yelled. Jack got up from the couch and walked over to her. "Yeah?" He asked, putting on a little smile. "You get your wish. Come on." She said, holding up her car keys and wiggling them around a little. Jack looked at them in disbelief before he hugged his mother. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" He cheered, squeezing her. She just laughed. "Come on, we're wasting daylight," She said. Jack let go of her immediately and dashed out of the house.
He's been asking to go to Diagon Alley ever since he got back from Hogwarts (claiming that there was a new broom he wanted to check out, or a new shop that simply must be scoped out). His parents knew it was a lie, but always procrastinated with answers like "maybe tomorrow" or "maybe some other time." But now… Jack could burst with happiness. He didn't even know if Hiccup was going to be there, but even so, it was still exciting. His mother trailed behind him deliberately slow, just to make him wait (pure evil!).
The car ride wasn't long, but it sure had Jack on edge. They got to the Leaky Cauldron, and walked through the place completely, going to the brick wall. His mom let him open it, showing his which bricks to tap with his wand. The bricks re-arranged automatically after the last tap, and they moved so they formed an archway into Diagon Alley. Jack walked in immediately, scanning at the faces of the people there, looking for that freckled face and auburn hair from his memory.
"Not so fast, mister." His mom said, touching his shoulder. He looked up at her. "Here." She said, handing him a small money pouch. "Don't spend it all at once. If you need me, I'll be helping out at Madame Malkin's, okay?" Jack nodded. "Alright. See you later." She said, smiling and walking off. Jack then sprinted into the streets. Looking into every store and small shop. He was a bit disappointed that he didn't find Hiccup. But that was when ~
"Jack?" He turned around, swearing that he knew that voice from somewhere. When he did, a smile broke across his face and his eyes lit up. "Hiccup!" He yelled, running up to him. Nothing changed much during the year, and his freckles and hair looked just about the same. "Hey." Hiccup said, smiling. They stood in front of each other for a while, thinking, before Jack threw everything to the wind and hugged him. "Nice to see you again." Jack said, thinking 'why the hell did I do that?' Hiccup chuckled.
"You too. So, what brings you here?" Hiccup asked, smiling. Jack's brain sputtered for an answer. He couldn't just say 'because I wanted to see you' could he? That would be weird right? Jack cleared his throat. "Oh, you know, just looking around, checking out the place…" He said. Wow, that didn't sound any better than what he wanted to say. It got a smile out of Hiccup, though, and he shook his head a bit.
"Well, what about you?" Jack asked him. "My father works not far from here." Hiccup said. "He lets me walk around a bit while he's busy." He shrugged. Jack nodded. "Cool, so you're here, like, everyday?" He asked. Hiccup shrugged. "It's cool. Everyone knows me now, so yeah, its not like anyone thinks I'm up to something, you know?" Jack laughed. "Like you would be up to something." Jack said. "What is that supposed to mean?" Hiccup asked, the amount of sass in his voice overwhelming.
"I'm just saying," Jack said, "you don't look like you have one bad bone in your body." Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Yes, because you're the definition of being a bad boy, Jack." Hiccup said. Jack rolled his eyes. "Well, yeah. Since when was the last time you got in trouble?" Jack asked. Hiccup raised his eyebrows. "Really?" He asked. Jack just nodded.
In a blink of an eye, Hiccup kicked out his leg, sweeping Jack's legs out from under him and making him fall to the floor in his ass. "Just now." Hiccup said, smirking. "You little-!" Jack yelled, scrambling to his feet. Hiccup laughed. "Well, you asked for it." He said. "I guess so." Jack said, rubbing his backside. "But you could have at least warned me or something…" Jack said. "Please, you'll be fine." Hiccup said. "Come on, let me make it up to you." He said, tugging at Jack sleeve. Jack raised an eyebrow but followed him anyways.
The Ice Cream Parlor was basically empty when they walked in, and Hiccup just walked in like he owned the place. "Hey, Mrs. Hofferson, I'm back." Hiccup called. Jack just looked at him. "Oh, Hiccup!" Someone called from the back. "Be right there!" She called. A second later, she came bustling in through the back room, all smiles and wiping her hands on her apron. "Hello boys, what can I get you?" She asked. "Ah… well.." Hiccup said, looking at Jack. "Want anything?" He asked him. Jack only blinked. "Nuh uh. There's no way I'm letting you buy me anything." Jack said stubbornly. Hiccup's shoulders slumped. "Fine." He said, looking back at Mrs. Hofferson. "Two ice cream cones, please." He said, smacking two Galleons on the counter. She nodded. Jack glared at him.
"You know I'm only going to pay you back, right?" Jack said, raising an eyebrow at him as Mrs. Hofferson handed them the ice cream. Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Think of this as compensation," Hiccup said, smiling. "Thank you!" He said to Mrs. Hofferson, smiling. "Anytime, Hiccup!" She said. Hiccup then walked Jack out. "How do you know her, again?" Jack asked. "Uh… family friend, plus, I've been here practically all summer, remember?" Hiccup said, raising an eyebrow. "Ah. Makes sense." Jack said.
They spent the day like that, eating their ice cream and then walking around, checking out the shops and helping put where they could when they were bored. Well, it was one way to get on everyone's good side, Jack had to admit. Jack's mom had to find him at the end of the day, and virtually drag him home.
Everyday after that, Jack begged to go to Diagon Alley. Sometime his parents complied, other times they were too busy, and there was that rare occasion that they made him take Emma around while he was there. It was okay, though, because she liked Hiccup fair enough. The summer passed quickly, and soon Diagon Alley was crowded with shoppers with school lists.
The last day of summer was terrible, both Hiccup and Jack moping around and complaining about going back to school and not being able to hang out. Jack got an idea, though, and they decided that they would write to each other, no matter what. Before Jack's mom could drag him away for the last time, they hugged, and Hiccup pressed a butterfly kiss on Jack's cheek.
The kiss didn't even last for half a second, and Jack wasn't even sure if it really happened, but he was dazed about the whole thing.
The next day, he had his things packed and ready to go, the Hogwarts Express waiting for all of them at King's Cross Station.
