A Hogwarts Tale-Descendants from the Sun

by UntilTheMorningComes

If Jack was honest to himself, he would never have thought his first year at Hogwarts would be this adventurous. If anything, he expected it to be all bookwork and boring. But being friends with a girl with magical hair, a pureblood who wanted to be more like a muggle, and a sarcastic dragon boy made life a lot more fun. (The Big Four Hogwarts AU Summary inside)

9. Snoggletog on Berk: Part 1

A Hogwarts Tale: Decedents of the Sun

Sorry for the two month absence. Finals were coming up and that meant crunch time in college. Do you know how many missed dinners and hours of sleep I lost during these last two months? It didn't help that I worked during the holidays and since I only worked during the weekends I needed the hours. OTL being an adult sucks ass.

But one of the few things I managed to do was watch BIG HERO 6! Fuck yeah that movie was awesome. Not as awesome as HTTYD 2 (I'm bias so sue me) but it's definitely a movie I'm going to buy on blu-ray. And yup xD Oh and I managed to snag myself a Wii U basically rendering me broke for any Christmas shopping OTL. Oh well, I can get the deals after Christmas.

But anyways, thank to everyone that are still following this story. I didn't mean to leave this story unattended for so long so I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Thanks for reviewing:

Random Person: Sorry but there's not going to be much Jackunzel in this story and if there is, it's just probably going to be like a real close best friend relationship or something. I already have my pairings in mind.

Nellie: Thank you! Don't worry, the Potter kids will get some more screen time just not as much at the moment. And as for romance, like I said before (at least I think I said it before, it's been a while) they're what 10 or 11 year olds? Not the age for romance just yet. If anything, romance will probably come into play once they're like 14 or 15 once puberty kicks in. Sorry to disappoint you but romance will not be a major part of this story just yet.

L.T.A.15: Thank you! And I'll try to get my story up monthly again.

Julle023: Thank you for your kind words but I'm pretty sure there are better writers out there than me. And don't be too hard on yourself, with a lot of practice, I'm sure you'll be better than me in no time.

Jinx-Nightangale: Don't worry, I shall update as quickly as I can to make sure you get hooked onto it even more xD.

Speaking: "Hello there."

Thoughts: What the blazes—

Spells: Lumos!

Last Time

"Others have more than you first years so be thankful." Elsa chuckled. "Seeing that this might be the last time we see each other until we come back from winter break, I wish you luck on the exams and that spell."

"Oh yeah I guess." Jack muttered before smiling brightly at the older students. "Well, good luck, thanks for the spell, and I hope you have an awesome Christmas this year!" Pausing for a moment Jack gave her a softer smile, "and you should smile more often, you're really a nice person and nice people look prettier when they smile." Blushing a bright red, Elsa turned away and hurried out of Jack's sight. "That's how they say it in the anime right?" Jack muttered to himself as he grew curious to Elsa red face before groaning. "Oh man, I totally blew it!"

Third POV

"Are you excited for Christmas!?" Jack smiled as he sat down next to Hiccup in the train compartment just as the train whistle blew. "It's going to be so much fun."

"For you." Hiccup sighed sadly as he wrapped his Ravenclaw scarf around his neck, "I have to play host on an island that doesn't know proper…..manners the rest of the world has. Not to mention, I'll probably be under a lot of pressure from Dad to make sure you guys have enough fun especially since Merida's coming." He sighed earning a curious look from Jack.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Wot tha fishbone means is tha, mah parents are influential wizards and witches and since both me and Hic' here ar' heirs ta our families, they're gonn' want ta build an alliance of some sort and we're ta ones who can make it or break it." Merida sighed as she and Rapunzel stood at the entrance of their compartment. "Ma mum can't see anythin' as just a fun gathering. Always a political meanin' behind it all."

"Oh that's right you're from a pureblood family. I keep forgetting that." Jack muttered, "You sure don't like most of them."

"Not all pureblood ar' stuck up like ta Slytherins." Merida grumbled as she took a seat next to the window, making room for Rapunzel's long braid. "Ta Weasley family are purebloods and ya ain't see them acting all stuck up."

"True." Rapunzel nodded, as Pascal jumped onto her head just as Jack closed their compartment door. "They're very nice and considerate. Even my house has some pureblood families."

"Just the majority of them are seen as stuck up, close minded wizards since the majority of them are in Slytherin." Hiccup shrugged. Jack hummed in agreement before slowly pointing to his freckled fiend.

"Wait you said heir…..does that mean you're a pureblood too!? Are Rapunzel and me the only muggleborns here?!" Instead of getting a nod, Jack saw Hiccup cringe a little earning curious looks from Merida and Rapunzel as well.

"Yer not a pureblood? But ya family—"

"Dad kinda broke the tradition with my mom." Hiccup muttered, "Sometimes we get muggles washed up on our shores due to a shipwreck or something. Usually the muggles freak out and we have to oblivate their memories before returning them to muggle beaches. However, we do have some muggles who decide to stay and make a living for themselves on our island. Not a lot mind you. I think on the island right now we have….two muggles living there."

"So your mother was a muggle who washed on your island?" Rapunzel asked, squealing in excitement. "How did she manage to catch the attention of your father? I mean being the chief he probably had to marry another witch right?" Hiccup actually chuckled as he nervously scratched his cheek.

"Yeah, according to Gobber—who's kind of like my uncle in a way—Dad was pretty amazed by my mother's ability to stand on her own and make a name for herself on the island despite being just a muggle. Things were ugly with my grandfather and my father cuz of traditions but eventually they got married and well…I came."

"I can't wait to meet your mother." Jack smiled. "She sounds like a pretty cool person. Kinda like Stephanie!"

"Well….Um…you would only be seeing a tombstone." Hiccup coughed. "She died a little bit after I was born. During a dragon raid." The three friends looked at each other, unsure how to proceed before Pascal jumped off Rapunzel's shoulder and landed on Hiccup's lap. Then to everyone's amazement, Pascal raised one of his tri fingered paw and gave him a 'there, there' pat.

"Did he just…" Jack gasped wondering where the little reptile

"I think he jus' did." Merida muttered before laughing. "I knew I like ta reptile fer a reason!"

"Well….there's something you don't see every day." Hiccup chuckled as he tickled Pascal's chin. "Thanks Pascal."

"Awww…" Rapunzel squealed as Pascal turned into a pink chameleon. "You're so adorable Pascal."

"So…anything we should prepare for when we head over to your place?" Jack asked as he placed his arms behind his head. "I mean any traditions we should look after for? Like s there a color that's forbidden or something?"

"Not that extreme." Hiccup chuckled, "Think of us as….somewhat modern Vikings that lack muggle technology."

"Ooo~ that sounds cool." Rapunzel smiled. "Should we wear warm clothing or is it going to be warm where you come from?"

"Definitely bring something warm." Hiccup laughed nervously. "As I like to describe Berk, it's twelve days north of Hopeless, a few degrees south of Freezing to Death and located solidly on the Meridian of Misery."

"Wow, ya really made it interestin' fer ya island." Merida muttered as the Norse wizard chuckled.

"Sorry, back on Berk we don't have much humor….actually I think I'm the only one who has humor."

"So when should we give you our replies?"Jack asked, "My mom said she had to talk it over with Steph's parents and then with me before she says anything. I really hope my mom says yes though."

"Me too!" Rapunzel smiled, "Mother is usually busy during Christmas break and I'm alone in the house most of the time so going to a Christmas gathering sounds really exciting! Maybe I can bring a souvenir back for Mother!"

"Well, as long as I can get it before the 20th I think we're good. I'll come and pick you up with Gobber unless you know how to Floo travel."

"Ugh." Merida groaned as she hunched over in anger. "I knew ther was a catch."

"Don't worry Merida," Hiccup laughed. "It's a lot better than apparating. If you don't know the exact location you can end up either in the below freezing ocean, on one of the many death defying cliffs, the forest of Fallen Warriors where dangerous magical animals roam or in Mildew's farm."

"Um Muggle borns here." Jack waved his hands in between Merida's and Hiccup's face before Merida could ask any other dangers of apparating. "What's floor travel?"

"Oh right. Um it's basically…..kind of like teleportation I guess?" Hiccup hummed in thought. "It's just a method of travel through the fireplace. You grab a handful of Floo power, call out your destination and—"

"Bam!" Merida shouted, smiling as she managed to earn a squeak from both Jack and Rapunzel. "Yer body goes up in flames and befer ya know it, yer landing in another's house covered in soot."

"You travel by fire!?" Rapunzel cried out, clutching her hair in fear. "Don't you guys get burned?!"

"Sorry but I don't want to die a painful dead before I get to party." Jack muttered crossing his arms. "I think Apparating is the way to go?"

"If you want to feel like you're being squeezed though a tiny tube all the while twisting and turning in the air then by all means sure." Hiccup smirked as Jack's face became green while Rapunzel's turned pale white.

"Wizards are masochists with travel." Jack muttered, "That's the only explanation."

"Can't we fly ter ya place? I want ta use my broom and mah dad would probably like the travel." Merida smiled before it fell as Hiccup shook his head.

"Not only would the cold temperature would kill you—and no heating charm would help it, trust me we tried—but the dragons flying above and around our island would probably burn you guys alive before you could even make it a quarter to our island."

"Dream Crusher." Merida grumbled causing the rest of the kids to laugh at her pouting face.

"But either way this is going to be the best Christmas ever!" Jack laughed. "Oh and do you think I can invite Steph since she's kind of our unofficial/official wizard friend?"

"Sure," Hiccup smiled, remembering the oddball from Diagon Ally. "I think she would be mad if I didn't invite her."

"Hey, ya think Steph's gonna be at ta platform where ya'll be picked up?" Merida asked, sitting up straighter. "I want ta say hi."

"Oooo~ me too! Me too!" Rapunzel smiled happily. "I need to thank her for everything she's done especially with the photo."

"Alright, alright." Jack smiled putting his hands up, "I'll see what I can do. Maybe her parents will let you guys come over for a bit so can chat up some more."

"That sounds wonderful." The blonde witch smiled before noticing Anna and her sister walking besides their compartment. Without saying a word and nearly knocking over Jack, Rapunzel quickly opened their door and smiled at her fellow housemate. "Anna! Elsa! Do you guys want to join us? We can make some space."

"Oh Rapunzel! Hi! Well if you—"

"No we're good!" Elsa quickly replied, turning a bright shade of red as she and the first year Slytherin made eye contact. "We'll be on our way. Come Anna."

"But Elsa!" Anna whined, as he sister dragged her further away from the four friends. "I don't wanna sit in the back compartment!"

"What happened between the two of you?" Hiccup asked, slowly turning his head towards the other brunette. "She really didn't want to be near you at all."

"Did ya go ta far with a prank?" Merida snickered as Jack frowned at the red head.

"As a matter of fact, no I did not!" Jack huffed as Rapunzel closed the door and sat back down.

"Then what did you do? She really wanted to get away from you."

"Well….I tried to thank her and I used a line similar to an anime I saw—"

"Anime?" All three of them asked causing Jack to sweat drop.

Right, all of them don't really know about the modern muggle world. And I'm actually surprised that Rapunzel doesn't know about it….does she even have a computer at home? Let alone cable?

"It's basically a cartoon show that's more in depth and meant for adults and older teens." Jack tried to explain it briefly. "Anyways, I tried using a line from the anime and well she just rushed out of there like she was burning or something." Jack sighed. "I think I used it wrong and offended her."

"Well what did you say?" Hiccup asked, causing Jack to groan.

"If I tell you, you promise not to speak of this failure to Stephanie?"

"We promise." Merida cut in before Hiccup or Rapunzel could say anything.

"Good. So anyways I said…."

Many of the students on the train were absolutely baffled as laughter echoed throughout the train louder than many thought possible. The ones closest to the source thought that it was a tickle hex gone wrong, while others thought the ghost of Fred Weasley decided to come back to haunt to train causing the kids to laugh uncontrollably. However, a platinum blonde Slytherin knew exactly what was the cause of the laughter and if it hadn't involved her, she would be laughing as well.

"I wonder why they're laughing." Anna asked her sister as the two of them sat in one of the empty compartments in the back of train.

"Probably at some boy's poor understanding of romance." She muttered, her cheeks burning red before she hid them behind one of the texts books she brought along with her.

"IT'S CHRISTMAS BREAK FOR MERLIN'S SAKE ELSA! STOP STUDYING FOR ONCE!"

---

"Not a word." Jack hissed angrily at his still giggling friends as the four of them climbed down the train.

"We're not saying anything Jack." Hiccup chuckled, his face red from the intense laughing he and the witches had just a couple hours ago. Heck, it didn't really stop until they were just a couple of minutes away from the train station. "Besides it's not our fault that you have no understanding of flirting."

"We didn't know yer were inta older lasses, Jack." Merida smirked as Jack blushed a bright red. " Don't worry, we'll help ya get ta lass."

"I don't like her like that!" Jack shouted, before groaning as the other students gave him a strange look. "I hate you all."

"We love you too Jack." Rapunzel smiled as she reached the luggage pile and looked for her purple bag she brought with her.

"Seriously, I won't ask Stephanie to come." Jack muttered angrily as he joined in on the search before a familiar laughter joined them.

"Well, that's a bit too late considering she's waiting outside the barrier." Looking up, Jack smiled at the figure.

"Mr. and Mrs. Bennett!" Jack laughed as he quickly ran up to them, giving them a hug before Mr. Bennett ruffled his hair. "You're here!"

"Of course we are." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she grabbed Jack's luggage which had several patches from the shows he watched. "Who else could pick you up from here? Oh are these your friends?" She asked as she took notice of the kids in front of her.

"Merida Dunbroch." Merida introduced herself, smiling proudly as she shook hands with Mrs. Bennett.

"Oh Elinor and Fergus's daughter? I haven't seen them in years. I assume they're doing well?" She asked as Merida nodded hesitantly. "Let me guess, Elinor's probably still trying to be a proper pureblood witch?"

"Ya,….." Merida hesitantly answered before Mr. Bennett laughed.

"I figured. She was kind when she wanted to be but she's kind of a perfectionist. I'm sure a few hours from her would be welcomed?"

"Yes sir!" Merida smiled as she grabbed her own bag and slung it over her shoulder.

"And would the two of you like to join us as well?" Mrs. Bennett asked the two remaining children.

"Um I would have to ask my guardian, um Gobber." Hiccup muttered looking around the platform for the big blonde Berkian wizard. "He should be around here somewhere."

"I would have to ask my mother." Rapunzel smiled. "She's on the other side of the barrier."

"Great!" Mr. Bennett smiled before chuckling nervously. "So um….what are your names?"

"Dear!" Mrs. Bennett scolded her husband causing the children to laugh.

"Well, I'm Rapunzel Gothel." Rapunzel answered the couple in front of her.

"And I'm Hiccup Haddock." Hiccup muttered, looking away from his friends as they realized that he had shortened his name. "It's pleasure to meet the two of you—"

"Oi! Hiccup ther ya ar lad!" Gobber's booing voice echoed throughout the platform earning a wince from Hiccup.

"And there's my guardian…."

"That's Gobber?" Jack asked, his jaw slightly opened before Mr. Bennett elbowed him lightly to close his mouth.

"Yer weren't lyin' about Berkians bein' big." Merida whispered to Hiccup as the older foreign wizard made their way towards them, waving his wooden hand at his charge.

"You're about to have a taste of what it's like on Berk." Hiccup muttered to his friends before he was grabbed and pressed against the Berkian side as Gobber gave him a "hug"

"I was wonderin' were ya ran off ta." Gobber laughed before noticing the crowd in front of him. "Oh these ya friends?"

"Um yeah Gobber." Hiccup coughed as he pushed his way out of his guardian's grip. "These are my friends, Rapunzel, Merida, and Jack." He said, pointing to each of them causing them to wave at the older wizard.

"A bunch of twigs if yer ask me." Gobber muttered, nodding at each of them. "But it's nice ta meet ya. Hiccup never sent letters back home and when he did, he finally mentioned he had friends! Oh ya should have seen his father. So shock that he had ta be slapped with a mace before he came ta."

"So that's why he sent the invitation. Me and my big mouth." Hiccup muttered under his breath as Gobber turned towards the Bennett's.

"I presume ya two are Jack's folks?"

"Actually we're his neighbors." Mrs. Bennett smiled, "His parents can't pass through the barrier so we're here to pick him up. My child and Jack grew up together but she doesn't have magic though."

"Ah, I see. Well I think I should get goin' otherwise Stoick's gonna think I've been drinking at ta Leaky Cauldron." He smiled before letting out a loud belch.

"But you were at the Leaky Cauldron…." Hiccup muttered, his cheeks growing red in embarrassment at his guardian's behavior. "You smell of butterbeer."

"Ah…. I can wash it off." Gobber shrugged before Mr. Bennett coughed.

"Um actually we were thinking of holding a mini welcome home party for Jack here and it would be a shame if my daughter was the only one attending. Would you mind if we keep Hiccup here for a bit longer?"

"Sure why not." Gobber smiled, surprising Hiccup who thought that his guardian would have to think about it. Was him getting friends really that surprising? "Can I pick him up around….tomorrow morning?"

"Sure, we don't mind." Mrs. Bennett smiled. "You can floo to our house. Just say Bennett's house and it should lead you to our fireplace."

"Great!" Gobber smiled as he fixed his badly matching pants. "Don't get inta too much trouble Hic. I'll get gonin' now, see ya tomorrow Hic!" Gobber smiled before disappearing with a crack and a soft breeze.

"Was that—"

"Apperating, yeah." Hiccup laughed nervously as he turned towards the Bennett's. "Um are you guys—"

"It's fine, we don't mind making the party a sleepover and I'm sure Jack's parents will be delighted to have you over as well." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she helped Hiccup carry his bag that was too big for him.

"I really hope ma parents will let me come." Merida moaned as the four friends began walking towards the barrier. "Ma mum will be ta one ya need ta convince."

"Don't worry, we know Elinor and how to negotiate with her." Mrs. Bennett smiled as long brunette woman with a large red head man began walking towards them. "We'll get you to come as well."

"Sarah? George?" Elinor gasped out as she saw her old classmates. "My, it's been ages since I last saw yer." Elinor smiled as she pulled away from her husband and gave Mrs. Bennett a hug. "You certainly grew more lovelier."

"You too Elinor." The brunette woman smiled before pointing towards her husband. "Even though I'm sure you know him, this is my husband George Bennett."

"It's a pleasure to see you again after all these years." Mr. Bennett smiled as he shook Elinor's hand before turning to Fergus to do the same. However, the large red head man decided to give the much more slimmer man a back breaking hug and laughed as the wizard tried to breathe.

"Oh Georgie! It's been years! Missed ta days when we got inta trouble doncha?" Fergus laughed as he finally released the blonde haired man, not noticing as he struggle to return the air back into his lungs.

"Didn't miss those hugs of yours that's for sure." He wheezed out as Fergus's wife slammed the back of his head.

"Honey. You nearly choked him to death!"

"Don't worry, he can take a lot more than that." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she helped her husband stand up.

"Mum, dad, yer embarrassing me." Merida moaned as she hid her face behind her eyes, alerting her parents of her presence.

"Oh Merida how was school. We didn't get much letters from ya." Elinor smiled at her daughter which caused Merida to make a face. The only reason she wasn't getting scolded at the moment for her lack of letters was because they were in front of company. It was a side of her mother Merida grew to hate since this version of her mother appeared more frequently and demanded perfection out of her.

"I um….was busy studynin' fer mah tests." Merida mumbled, looking away.

"Ad practicin' fer ya quidditch games right?!" Her father laughed causing a smile to show on her face. "I heard 'bout ya game and can't tell ya how proud I am with yer flyin' skills—oopf." Her father stopped in midsentence as his wife elbowed him in the stomach. "But yeah, studin' good stuff ta."

"Well before she has to go back to finish her school work, why doesn't she take the day to spend it with my neighbor and daughter?" Mrs. Bennett asked, smiling at the Scottish woman. "We're holding a welcome home party and we already have Mr. Haddock's guardian's approval. It would be wonderful if you could let Merida stay. You can pick her up at my place." Elinor opened her mouth to politely decline her old friend's offer when her daughter whined.

"Please mum? I want ta see Jack's place and Stephanie before I have ta study. Please?"

"Your already going to Mr. Haddock's Christmas party." Elinor sighed as Merida grumbled underneath her breath. "But….I suppose one night wouldn't—"

"Really mum?!" Merida asked, her eyes sparking in delight as her mother nodded. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She smiled as she hugged her mother, surprising the older witch.

"Oh, I um….make sure you behave well." Elinor coughed out as she slowly pulled her daughter away from her. "Yer father and I will pick you around—"

"She could always sleep over." Mrs. Bennett suggested causing the pure-blood witch to raise an eyebrow at her. "My daughter has been really eager to see them all and I'm sure Merida would like to stay over for a day before she has to go back home."

"Please mum?" Merida begged, "Please?!" Sighing heavily, Elinor rubbed the ridge of her brow but nodded.

"Very well, but just this once! And we'll be picking you up at 9 sharp young lady." Despite the early pick up time, Merida couldn't help but smile at her mother's words and hugged her tightly once again. After all, it wasn't everyday that her mother let her go out like this…..perhaps it was a sigh for something? Well, she'll worry about it later, she had a sleep over to get to.

"She'll be in good hands, trust me." Mr. Bennett smiled as Fergus gave him another bone crushing hug.

"Don't worry Georgie! I trust ya, but if ma daughter doesn' come back in—"

"Don't worry, we'll be supervising them." Mr. Bennett managed to choke out as the taller and bulkier wizard let go of him.

"Well, we have to go, we have a meeting with the prime minister and we can't keep him waiting." Elinor smiled as she grabbed her husband's arm. "We'll see you again tomorrow."

"Bye Mum! Bye Dad!" Merida smiled as she waved enthusiastically to her parents as they quickly apparated out of the station. "Well, let's get goin'! I want ta start this party as soon as possible."

"Hold your horses, Merida." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she took out her wand, waving it so that cart appeared before them. "We still have Rapunzel's mother to convince."

"I really do hope she says yes." The blonde witch smiled nervously as the four of them piled their bags onto the cart. "She can be a bit….difficult."

"No worries, I'm sure we'll be able to convince her." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she pushed the cart towards the barrier. "We can be very persuasive to nearly anyone."

---

"But Mother! Can't I just stay over for a even a bit? I won't even sleep over!" Rapunzel cried out as her mother gave her a stern look before grabbing her arm. They hadn't even made a couple steps passed the barrier before Rapunzel's mother made a beeline towards her daughter. Before Rapunzel could say anything to her mother, she was already pushing her daughter away from them, only pausing to give the Bennett's a small thank you. Rapunzel had to wrestle out of her mother's grip in order to get a single word out. Even then, her mother didn't even look like she was paying attention to her at all. Rapunzel felt even more embarrassed as her mother gave her friends a quick glance as she introduced them before plastering a fake smile and tried to usher her off again. She probably would have been stuffed into their car if it wasn't for Mrs. Bennett interfering, managing to calm her mother down enough to get some words through.

"I'm sorry, but I can't just let my daughter stay at a house full of wizards and witches without my supervision and I have a lot of work to do. Perhaps another time." Her mother cut off Mrs. Bennett surprising her and Rapunzel's friends as she turned towards Rapunzel. "Let's go dear."

The young witch tried to persuade her mother to let her stay over even just for an hour but it seemed that she would not even listen.

"Hey," Hiccup muttered as her mother was beginning to argue with Mrs. Bennett about the safety of her house, "Why don't you just let your mother cool off and see if you can go to my party instead. If you can't go today then she'll have to let you go to Berk right?"

"I…I guess….Rapunzel muttered as her Mother huffed in anger before lifting up Rapunzel's luggage.

"Come on Rapunzel, we don't have all day now."

"Coming mother." Rapunzel sighed as Pascal squeaked comfortingly to her as she gave one last glance towards her friends before following her mother out of the train station leaving everyone there baffled.

"Well….Honey, I think we've been matched." Mr. Bennett chuckled nervously as his wife gave a heavy sigh.

"She's a muggle dear, it's harder for them to accept magic than most people. At least she doesn't hate her daughter."

"I suppose your right."

"Whatcha mean at least she doesn' 'ate her daughter." Merida asked as the five of them continued to walk down the station ignoring everyone's confused stares. After all who wouldn't be if you saw three owls in a cart followed by children wearing strange cloaks.

"Some muggles, once they find out that their child has magic sometimes abandon them." Mrs. Bennett sighed sadly. "They just can't understand the concept and do the best thing in their minds."

"By putting a child on the streets and leaving them alone." Hiccup muttered as Merida and Jack shared a sad look.

"Yes and sometimes that can damage a child even more." Mr. Bennett answered as he pushed the kids forwards. "After all, if you find out the reason you were abandoned was because of magic, the most logical step is to hate your magic which means you don't accept it and that itself is deadly."

"How?" Jack asked growing curious of the serious topic at hand. Strange, he usually wasn't one to want to have any sort of sad conversations but for some reason….he felt as if he should pay more attention to this as if he would need it later on in life.

"Magic in witches and wizards is always flowing inside our body, protecting us even if we don't know it." Mrs. Bennett continued. "As a child, it acts as a force field of some sort that's why children have accidental magic burst because their magic is trying to protect them. From mental or physical harm."

"So if a child think tha magic was tha reason they got hurt…." Merida trailed off as both Bennett's gave the red head a sad look.

"Then their magic would begin to self destruct causing a lot of damage to the person." Mr. Bennett sighed. "It happens a lot more where magic has been seen as a disgrace, curse, or mutation and been nearly driven into extinction."

"Whatcha mean driven inta extinction?" Merida asked causing the Bennett's to shake their head as they finally reached the lobby of the train station.

"Another day dear, it's a serious topic that you kids shouldn't be worrying about this early on. Now…." Mrs. Bennett muttered as she stopped and looked around the lobby. "Where is our daughter at…."

"WATCH OUT!" Stephanie's voice cried out causing the adults to turn before they had to quickly duck as a miniature helicopter zoomed over their heads. "You need better steering on that control!" Looking up, Jack quickly zoomed in on his childhood friend's voice and smiled as he spotted a familiar mess of black hair on a young girl around his age.

"Steph!" He called out as he ran towards her. Hearing her name, Stephanie spun around—apologizing to the people around her as she bumped into them—and smiled brightly as Jack quickly enveloped her in a hug. "It's good to finally see you face to face!"

"You too Jack." Stephanie smiled before pushing Jack out of the way and quickly caught the helicopter before it could slam into her friend's head. "Hey, don't kill my friend before I can introduce you to him." Stephanie smiled behind her, alerting Jack to a teenager that was standing behind her, smiling sheepishly. He was taller than her and even though he wasn't buff, Jack could tell that he wasn't as weak as he looked like. His short cropped black hair was neatly kept and his brown eyes nearly resembled his friend's, although they were more slanted probably indicating some sort of Asian descent.

"Sorry, sorry. There's still some kinks in the remote." Rolling her eyes, Stephanie helped Jack up before giving back the helicopter to the boy and stood proudly next to him.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever makes you feel better Tadashi. Jack, this is my newest friend that I made about half an hour ago waiting for you. Tadashi, this is Jack. My childhood and wizard friend." Jack coughed violently as his friend spewed out his secret, but before he could get any more words in, Tadashi smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you Jack. And don't worry, my little brother just started his first year at Hogwarts too and we're waiting for him."

"Wait what?" Jack muttered before the rest of the group finally caught up to the trio.

"Oh my god! You didn't tell me you were bringing them here!" Steph gasped as she saw Merida and Hiccup smiling at her before she went to hug them both. "Oh my god! I didn't think I would see you guys in person!"

"We had ta see our favorite muggle witch." Merida smiled as she gave Stephanie a hug. "It's nice ta meet ya again."

"You too Merida! And Hiccup! Oh my god, I can't believe I get to see you again too! I thought you would have been whisk away by your guardian by now seeing that you live way farther than us." Stephanie smiled as she jumped towards Hiccup and gave the Berkian wizard a bone crushing hug.

"Well, my guardian is a lot more lenient than what you would expect." Hiccup managed to choke out before Stephanie released him.

"Stephanie, did we tell you to wait for us at the entrance?" Mrs. Bennett finally cut in causing the young muggle to look away.

"Yeah…but Tadashi and his aunt had some trouble trying to find the entrance to Platform 9 ¾ so I told them to wait here and well time just flew by." Stephanie muttered as she nudged the older boy so he could speak up.

"Oh?" Mrs. Bennett muttered looking at Tadashi who looked just as nervous as Stephanie. "Is this true Tadashi? Where is your Aunt by the way?"

"She's just went to get—"

"Tadashi! Look who I found when I went to get some snacks." A young woman with brown hair smiled happily as she helped push a similar looking cart that the Bennett's pushed moments ago with a boy with black messy hair and wide dark brown eyes as he saw the large group.

"Hiro Hamada?" Hiccup muttered, wide eye as well as he recognized his house mate. Who would have thought that the semi-quiet Asian wizard was a muggle-born….or was he a half blood? He probably was smart considering he was in the Ravenclaw house but other than having some studying time with him and that brief conversation on Halloween he never really spoke to the Hamada boy.

"Hiccup?" Hiro muttered, bewildered before he noticed his other classmates. "Jack? Merida? What are you guys doing here?"

"Talk about a small world." Stephanie muttered as she saw the shocked stares from her wizard friends. "Jack…"

"Hiro, you didn't tell me you made friends over at magic school." Tadashi laughed as he hugged his brother, laughing as his younger brother struggled to get out of his hold.

"What?! No I just know them! Hiccup just happens to be in my house and his friends sometimes hang over at my table." Hiro finally managed to say as he pushed his brother's arm away and tried to smooth out his already messy hair. "How did you even meet them?"

"I ran into their friend." Tadashi smiled as he pointed to a sheepishly smiling Stephanie. "She was the one who actually helped us get around here and told us how we couldn't meet you at the barrier….something you forgot to mention didn't you little brother." Tadashi muttered, giving his younger brother a stern look which his aunt copied as well.

"Um…sorry?" Hiro chuckled nervously as he looked away from his family and focused on Stephanie instead. "Hi, um sorry about that um…"

"Stephanie. Stephanie Bennett." Stephanie smiled as she shook his hand. "Ravenclaw huh? Well, I bet you're just as smart as your brother then. But I guess I won't be seeing you around during the year and I really wanted hang out with you." Stephanie smiled, not noticing the large blush on the Hamada boy and the knowing smirk on Tadashi's face, "You sounded like an interesting person according to Tadashi." Stephanie chuckled as Hiro blushed an even brighter red.

"Oh um….it's um…..he said that?"

"Ok, I think it's time we get going Steph." Jack muttered, giving Hiro a small glare as he pulled his friend back. "We have a party to start."

"Oh wait…party?" the young muggle muttered wide eyed as she stared at her parents and the two other wizard friends. "No way! You guys are coming over too! This is going to be the best winter break ever!"

"Shoot, it's nearly time for Dan to take his lunch." Tadashi and Hiro's Aunt muttered as she looked at her watch. "Sorry for cutting this meeting short but we have to have to go um…"

"Sarah Bennett and this is my husband George Bennett." The half blood witch pointed to her husband as she answered the single parent. "Don't worry, it's nice meeting parents of wizard children." Ms. Bennett smiled. "I'm assuming your sibling had magic and you didn't so if you have any questions regarding about the wizarding world, don't be afraid to ask us. Our neighbors had the same problem with Jack and I'm sure they would be delighted in meeting another muggle parent who has their same troubles."

"Yeah! Don't hesitate to ask." Stephanie jumped in, nodding her head furiously. "I already gave you my number Tadashi so text me if you or your aunt have any questions or need some help."

"Don't worry we will." Tadashi smiled as he gave the group one last wave before helping his aunt push his brother's cart. "Come on Hiro, we can't keep Aunt Cass waiting."

"Yeah um coming!" Hiro called to his brother before giving the group one last stare before giving a small smile to Stephanie. "It was nice seeing you and I'll see you guys back in school I guess." Without another word, the Hamada brothers quickly disappeared among the crowd along with their aunt, leaving the group of six standing in the lobby.

"Well….what about that party?" Stephanie said, turning around and smiling at her three friends who couldn't help but grin back at her.

---

"No! No! I deman' a rematch!" Merida cried as the screen on the TV tauntingly flashed "You Lose" repeatedly as Jack, Stephanie, and Hiccup laughed. "Rematch!"

"Sorry Merida but rules are rules." Jack smirked as he took the Wii U control from the red head hands and gave her a small cup filled with what looked like ketchup, mud, mayonnaise and paint? "Losers drink our special loser drink and continue playing the game~"

"I still don't know how I even won." Hiccup muttered, looking at his remote control in confusion. "It was sudden death right?"

"Yeah," Stephanie chuckled as Merida gagged on the drink and tried to throw it out but Jack wrestled it back into her hand. "Usually it's the first person who gets the first hit that wins but it depends on the strength behind that attack. Since Merida's attack was weak you managed to survive and hit her with your attack."

"But I was pushing buttons! I didn't know how I was doing it." Hiccup muttered causing Stephanie to laugh.

"Don't worry I was like you when we first got the game. My motto, when in doubt, push buttons."

"That didn't work for Merida…." Jack called out as Merida twitched on the floor after downing the entire drink, no longer able to play. "Hey I think a break's in order."

"I guess." Stephanie smiled as she turned off the TV and grabbed her normal drink and took a sip of it. "Too bad Rapunzel couldn't come. I really wanted to see her in person again." She sighed heavily as she looked at her drink sadly.

"Yeah, her mother was…."

"Weird?" Jack supplied as Hiccup struggled to find an appropriate word.

"Well—"

"Strange?" Stephanie added before the Ravenclaw could say anything else.

"I was going to say over protective but sure, let's go with that." Hiccup sighed as Merida weakly tried to get back up before falling to the ground again. "She's a muggle and well, I guess her being around magic must be well…overwhelming."

"I don't think so." Stephanie muttered, "When I saw Rapunzel and her mother at Diagon Alley, I noticed that her mother was actually calm about the magic around them. As if she was used to it. But she wasn't that happy with other people crowding in on them. I learned that the hard way when I went to say hi to Professor Lee. She was their tour guide."

"Why didn't you tell me this?" Jack whined as Stephanie grabbed some chips and placed them in her mouth while Hiccup gave a wary glance at his fallen friend. Was she still alive?

"Didn't come to mind. Besides, I wasn't exactly going to tell mum and dad about the creepy woman who looked like she wanted to skin me alive after talking about the history of long hair in witches in Germany."

"Really?" Hiccup asked, slowing popping another M&M into his mouth, trying to avoid Stephanie and Jack's knowing smirk at the nearly empty bowl of chocolate. "Why would she get mad at you for that?"

"If I knew then I wouldn't be wondering, now would I?" Stephanie sighed, "But….it does seem a little strange now that I think about it."

"Strange about what? Having an over protective mum? Hello have you met your mother." Jack chuckled as his best friend threw a pillow at him. "Hey!"

"Shut up! I'm serious!" Stephanie pouted. "I mean….Rapunzel's mother only got mad at when I started talking about witches in Germany and then the photo you guys sent me about two months ago ties to a family of witches rumored to have long and powerful magic hair. It just doesn't sit right with me." She muttered, looking rather serious for once that Jack had no answer. And now that she voiced it aloud, it did sound funny.

"Maybe Rapunzel's mother had a bad experience with witches in Germany?" Jack asked but Stephanie shook her head.

"Witches and wizards in Germany are very secluded and will do anything they can to make sure their society stays in secret. If Rapunzel's mother had an incident with them, she probably wouldn't have even remembered it."

"She could be bias maybe?" Hiccup asked, catching the attention of the two still conscious friends. "Maybe she hates Germans witches instead?"

"I highly doubt it, she's a scientist right? She probably wouldn't be that bias. It probably has something to do with Rapunzel's past that's for sure. Rapunzel doesn't even look remotely close to her mother."

"What makes you say that?" Jack asked before chuckling as Stephanie gave him a deadpan stare.

"I'm adopted, I know. Rapunzel's mother probably picked her up on the streets or something like that….maybe that's why she doesn't want to talk about German witches!" Stephanie exclaimed startling the two boys. "What if Rapunzel was abandoned by her real family and Rapunzel's mother took her in! That's maybe why she doesn't like witches or wizards or German wizards specifically! Rapunzel could be German and was abandoned!"

"You've been watching Sherlock haven't you." Jack sighed as Hiccup gave his muggle friend a bewildered look. After all it wasn't every day someone jumped to suck conclusions such as that in less than thirty seconds.

"Shut up." Stephanie pouted before looking at Hiccup. "I know this may be off topic but I was wondering what you were going to do for winter break."

"Oh um….well…" Hiccup looked away before Jack wrapped an arm around his shoulder and smiled cheekily.

"He invited us to have Christmas over at his place! And you're invited too!" Abruptly sitting up, Stephanie let her jaw drop in shock before staring at Hiccup for confirmation.

"Yeah….if your parents let you, you can come as well." For a moment Stephanie could say nothing before she jumped from the couch and crushed Hiccup—after pushing Jack away—in a bear hug.

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! REALLY!? YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND EVER! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME!"

"Um no problem—"

"I have to ask mum if I can go right now!" Stephanie smiled as she let go of the Berkian wizard and rushed into the kitchen where the adults were hanging out.

"She sure is enthusiastic." Hiccup chuckled as he was left alone with Jack—he was 90% sure Merida was beyond getting back up any time soon—who shrugged. "Her muggle friends must have a hard time keeping up with her."

"That's if she has any." Jack sighed earning a curious stare from the Berkian.

"What do you mean by that? She sounds like she could get along with anybody." Hiccup muttered while Jack shook her head.

"Yeah, if they know about magic. It took me weeks for her to fully open up to me after I moved next door and that was when she was a little bit more open to anyone. But as the years went on and she realized that she was very different from the other muggle kids when it came to likes, hobbies, and well whatever, she just stopped trying to make friends. She told me that she wasn't going to try and make friends who didn't like what she liked and well that was that."

"But you didn't know about your magic before did you?" Hiccup asked, "So why—"

"Because I just went with her ideas at the time and also I thought she had a cool imagination and was just fun to be around with. But I think she had a feeling that I was magical since she was the first one to point out all of my accidental magic bursts when I first found out." The Slytherin wizard chuckled as Hiccup rolled his eyes.

"Why am I not surprised."

"Anyways….it's getting late and we should probably start turning this living room into a sleepover soon." Jack laughed as he began to clean up the table. "It's time for the best part…." Giving Hiccup a foxy grin Jack continued with a deep—probably trying to scare him but he failed at it miserably—voice, "Scary stories~!"

"AND PILLOW FIGHTS!"

"Damn it Steph! That was supposed to be a surprise!" Jack whined causing Hiccup to laugh uncontrollably because honestly, this was the most fun he had in years.

---

Before any of them knew it, their sleepover party was over—Merida having slept the longest due to….things—and the three of them continued their winter break once their guardians picked them up from Stephanie's house. They promised to keep in touch and to give answers to Hiccup regarding his party. Of course Merida was the only one who was positive that she could go while Jack's family was a little iffy on the party. However, they eventually gave in and said yes. The only ones having problems were Rapunzel and Stephanie.

"But mum! Please! Can't I just go! Please!" Jack could hear his friend beg through his window and winced as he heard her mother reply in a sharp voice.

"I told you once Stephanie, and I'll tell you again. No! It's an island full of dragons for Merlin's sake! You could get seriously hurt and without any magic protecting you, you'll be a sitting duck!"

"But it's the winter and dragons never raid the island during the winter!" Stephanie pleaded once more, before the sound was quickly muffled—probably due to her mother's sound canceling charm—and Jack was left in the dark once more.

There was only one day left before he would leave to Hiccup's party and he would be going through the Bennett's floo fireplace where Hiccup's guardian would pick him up. He wished Stephanie could go but seeing how her mother acted with her towards magic….there was hardly a chance of that ever happening.

"It looks like it's just gonna be me, Merida, and Hiccup over there Frost." Jack muttered, smiling slightly as he took a good look at his owl's wings. They were very well kept thanks to his sister who loved cleaning him. "But it won't be the same without Rapunzel and Stephanie."

"But at least you get to go to a cool place for Christmas." Emma's voice echoed in Jack's room causing him jump in shock. Looking at his younger sister Jack chuckled nervously as she gave him a raised eyebrow. "You still haven't gotten ready?"

"I don't know what to wear!" Jack sighed heavily as he pointed to his selection of clothes ranging from casual to somewhat formal. "And I can't really ask Hiccup cuz it'll take more than a day to get a reply!"

"That's what you get for waiting for the last minute." Emma giggled before skipping to his clothes and scrunched her nose in concentration. "Is it going to be cold?"

"It's really up North according to Steph." Jack sighed as he placed the tux t-shirt back into his closet. "So I was thinking was wearing something warm on top and when we're inside I could take it off and not be super cold."

"Then wear this and your nice jeans." Emma smiled as she pulled his white dress shirt and his dark jeans his mother recently bought him. "And you could put on the blue jacket I got for you!"

"Wow, thanks Emma." Jack smiled as he grabbed the shirt and pants from his sister. "Where would I be without my fashionist sister?"

"Looking like a weirdo with the torn jackets you love to wear all the time." Emma giggled before skipping out the room, pausing for a moment. "You really want Steph to go don't you?"

"It wouldn't be fair that she knew so much about that place and we go instead. It just wouldn't feel right." Jack sighed giving his sister a small smile. "But I think Hiccup can invite Stephanie over another time when her mom isn't too protective of her." Nodding Emma looked thoughtful for a moment before giving her brother a bright smile.

"Well, you might get your wish sooner than you think!"

"Wait what?" Jack asked as his sister skipped out of his room, humming to herself. "What do you mean?!"

"You'll find out~!" She sang leaving her older brother alone in his room to ponder what she meant before groaning.

"Girls. Even my little sister is too complicated to understand. Why?"

---

"I'm sorry but we have to go to Jamie and Sophie's Christmas play early so we won't be here when Mr. Gobber get here." Sarah Bennett sighed heavily as said children were running wildly behind her, trying to get their costumes in order while their father ran behind them like a lost duckling. Jack's mouth was open for a while as he saw the chaos before his mother smacked the back of his head.

"Oh…that's unfortunate because we have to go to my sister's house for Christmas and if we don't leave soon, we'll hit heavy traffic." Mrs. Overland sighed, as she looked at her watch.

"Oh Stephanie can wait with Jack." Mrs. Bennett smiled as she let the family in, giving them momentarily shelter from the winter weather. "She just came down with the cold right this morning so we're having her stay home for tonight. But she can make sure Jack get's to Hiccup's party on time. Steph! Come down for a moment please?"

"Coming." Stephanie's horse voice echoed from the stairs before a small figure with a large blanket covering her entire body slowly descended the stairs. "What do you need?" She sniffed as she hugged the blanket around her tighter. Jack winced as he took in her appearance, her face was red and she looked like she hadn't slept in a couple of days despite only getting the cold today.

"Dude, you look horrible." Jack laughed before ducking as Stephanie chucked a box of tissues at him. "What it's true."

"Shut up, or I'll give it to you." She sniffed as she sat on the couch. "Are you guys gonna leave now?" She asked as both families nodded.

"Yes, we have to get going. Thank you Stephanie for looking after Jack and thank you Sarah for setting up the meeting place." Mrs. Overland smiled before turning towards her son. "Now Jack, please be on your best behavior and—"

"Don't cause trouble, yeah mom you gave me the lecture yesterday."Jack grumbled as his mother chuckled and gave him a kiss.

"I know, but it's a mother's duty to be worried for their child. Now, we'll be back tomorrow morning so when you come back, stay with Stephanie until Sarah and George come back alright?"

"Yes mum."

"And Stephanie, if you don't feel better, don't hesitate to call alright?" Mrs. Bennett said to her daughter as she merely sniffed and curled on the couch.

"Yeah, I know." Sighing heavily, she gave her daughter a kiss before grabbing a duffle bag and hollered to her two remaining children and husband to get into the car.

"Have fun." Emma smiled to her brother before looking at Stephanie and gave her a wink. As both families left the house, Jack and Stephanie stayed quiet as they heard the cars drove away before Jack turned onto his childhood friend.

"Alright, what the heck is going on? My sister just winked at you and she never does that unless she was up to no good."

"Just get me my bag next to the fireplace." Stephanie groaned as she threw off her blanket, revealing a nice set of clothes that she only wore on family outings, a light blue blouse, with a demin skirt with black leggings and her brown boots. "And I'll tell you everything once this headache goes away."

"And how is this bag going to help?" Jack asked, passing her the bag before crossing his arms as she began to search through it. "You have an elixir that cures everything in there?"

"No, just the potion to counteract the Weasley's Get Out of Tests treats." Stephanie muttered earning a small gasp from Jack.

"No! You didn't….but how! Your mother forbid you from getting any of those when we went to Diagon Alley!"

"Yeah, but your mother didn't and Emma got some." Stephanie smiled as she pulled out a small red bottle. "Ha, here it is." She smiled as she quickly open the bottle and downed the drink in one gulp. Immediately her red and exhausted face became normal and her voice was no longer raspy. "That hit the spot."

"Wait my sister gave you her….when did she buy this?!" Jack asked Stephanie who was too busy trying to fix her hair to make it somewhat presentable.

"About a couple weeks after I sent the letter back about the photo. Her mum took us back to Diagon Alley and Emma secretly bought it because my mum would have searched me for it." Stephanie laughed as she quickly grabbed her jacket—a brown bomber jacket—before smiling at Jack. "So you ready?"

"You're gonna be in so much trouble when we get back." Jack chuckled as he shook head. "You're definitely gonna be on the naughty list that's for sure."

"I can live with that as long as I can see Berk with my own eyes for one night." Stephanie smiled as she stepped back from the fireplace as it begun to shake. "And our ride is here."

Just at that moment, the fireplace burst into green flames but instead of a normal explosion, the fire stayed in the fireplace and a large burly man stepped out of the fire, smiling as he saw the two children in front of him. Instead of wearing the horribly color clashing robes he wore when they both saw him, he was now wearing clothing more traditional to the Viking era. He even had a stone hammer on his left hand instead of a wooden hand.

"Ah there ya ar." Gobber smiled as he saw the two children in front of them. "Yer ready ta go ta Berk?"

"Yes we are!" Stephanie smiled as she pushed Jack towards the bulky Berkian. "Are we picking up anyone else?"

"Nah, ta rest of yer friends are already back at Berk. Yer two art ta last ones." Gobber laughed as he pushed the two children to the fire place before grabbing a handful of floo power Stephanie's family had near the fire place. "Now are ya ready?"

"Actually I'm having second thoughts of traveling through fire and getting burned alive." Jack gulped as he tried to escape but Stephanie held him firmly.

"Oh don't be such a baby, Floo travel is completely harmless!" Stephanie scolded her friend as Gobber chuckled.

"The lass is right lad. No problem with Floo Travel….unless ya have trouble pronouncin' words." Jack gulped heavily as Gobber opened his mouth and threw the Floo power down at their feet. "Berk! Chief's house!"

"I hate you Steph." Jack grumbled as his vision flooded with green light before it morphed into darkness.

At Berk: Hiccup's House

"Tell me again how did you manage to come? Not that I don't want you here, but your mother left an impression that well…." Hiccup tried to find the words but Rapunzel beat him to it.

"She didn't like magic?"

"Yeah….. so how did you convince your mother here and how did you get a ride from Merida. I'm very confused here." Hiccup sighed as he eyes the two girls who gave each other looks.

"Um well, wot Punzie means ta say…." Merida began before Rapunzel burst out—nearly in tears. She was already a nervous wreck when she came here, fidgeting every minute that passed, waiting for Jack and it seems that she finally cracked.

"I didn't tell my mother and I asked Merida to pick me up and I'm such a horrible daughter! How is Mother going to forgive me?! I can't Merida take me back, Mother will freak out if she finds out I went behind her words." Rapunzel cried out, nearly out of breath as she clutched onto Merida for support.

"Hey, hey! Don' worry. We'll get ya back in time before ya mum comes back." Merida said to her hyperventilating witch. "She'll never know tha yer even left. Right, Pascal." The chameleon squeaked in agreement causing Rapunzel to calm down slightly. "Besides, ya need ta rebel once in a while."

"You sound like Flynn." Rapunzel sighed as she fixed her red coat. She had worn a woolen red and black dress with white stocking and black flats, courtesy of Merida's parents. They even did her hair! Of course it had to be braided but her bangs were curled back giving her a new style. She had to remind Merida to ask her mother how she did it for future hairdos.

"Ta lad has some good ideas then." Merida huffed as she fixed her dress that thankfully wasn't over extravagant. It was dark blue and ended at her mid thighs and she wore black thick leggings with brown fur boots to keep her feet warm. "When is Jack suppose ta arrive?"

"Soon. Gobber just went to get them when you guys arrived." Hiccup chuckled nervously as he looked at his own attire. He wore his traditional clothing consisting of a green tunic that went past his waist, green trousers, and dark brown fur boots. However, instead of wearing his normal fur vest, he was wearing a cloak similar to his father except it was smaller and much lighter.

"Shame Stephanie can't come. I really wanted to meet her." Rapunzel sighed before the fireplace lit up in green flames causing her to jump in fright.

"Oh he's here." Hiccup smiled as Gobber stepped out of the fire place before stopping as not one but two figures stepped out behind him. "Jack? Stephanie?! Wait what?"

"Hey guess who's being a rebel." Stephanie coughed out as she dusted off the soot from her jacket while Jack shook his head.

"Oh my god Stephanie! You're here!" Rapunzel squealed as she quickly hugged the shocked muggle, "I didn't think you would come!"

"Wait Rapunzel?! Wait what? How?!"

"She basically lied to her mother about her whereabouts and yeah." Hiccup chuckled as Stephanie continued to hug Rapunzel, pushing Jack away anytime he came in close. "So I'm going to guess something similar happened to you as well?"

"And my sister was on it." Jack chuckled as he watched Stephanie drag Merida into their hug. "But hey as long as we're back before midnight we shouldn't get into any trouble."

"Good because I'm sure by then you'll probably get sick of Berk by then." Hiccup chuckled before Gobber coughed out, catching everyone's attention.

"Alright, time fer ta annual Snoggletog fest! Hope yer hungry coz we got lots of food ta go around." Gobber smiled as all of their stomachs growled. "Well, come on. Ta foods gonna disappear before ya even get there."

"Is he joking?" Jack asked as they quickly followed the large man out of the wooden house—despite living on an island they still surprising had some modern kitchen appliances despite it being thirty or so years behind.

"No, everyone here is serious about food and well, it's an island so whatever food we manage to gather is quickly used up." Hiccup answered as he opened the door and let his friends take in the view of Berk. Stephanie's gasp was the loudest and Hiccup couldn't help but chuckle. After all, she was the most eager to visit his god forsaken island—well Merida did too but it was mostly due for the sports—and it was a nice change to know that a muggle and his three other friends loved how the island looked like.

"Dude, you can see the ocean here!" Jack laughed as jumped up and down excitedly. "The ocean! Don't tell me you guys have fish as well!"

"Um yeah—"

"Is that yer dueling arena!" Merida quickly cut off Hiccup, turning their attention to an enclosed area similar to the one they used for dragon training where some of the wizards his age were battle it out. "Can we try?!"

"Only if you know how to conjure a Protego" Hiccup chuckled as Merida grumbled about unfairness. "Otherwise the adults wont you even let you take a step in there."

"But don't you guys learn that in your fifth year or something like that?" Stephanie asked as she winced as a blonde witch with a skull decorated leather skirt and metal shoulder pads easily threw her opponent across the arena with a flick of her wrist. How powerful were the Berkian wizards anyways?

"Yeah, but here it's probably the most important spell you can ever learn, besides Aguamenti." Hiccup muttered before turning around. "Come on, we still have a ways to go before we get to the great hall.

"It's not very colorful here. I mean there's a lot of grass but all the houses look pretty much the same." Rapunzel noted causing Hiccup to laugh.

"That's because most of these houses get burned down and why waste time making your house look nice when it'll probably get burned down in a month?"

"Can't you cast a fire proof charm on the house or something?" Stephanie asked Hiccup before he shook his head.

"Dragon fire is probably the most powerful form of magic and nothing can really go against it really. So charms don't work out so well."

"So you guys just focus more on rebuilding than making it look nice then huh." Rapunzel muttered, her fingers itching to add some color to the island.

"Pretty much, it saves resources." The Berkian wizard answered Rapunzel.

"Oh my god is that a black smith?! Is this where you make your enchanted weapons?!" Stephanie gasped out before squealing happily. "Hiccup, you have to show me how you make your weapons!"

"Sorry, but that's a trade secret." Hiccup chuckled nervously as Stephanie pouted—mumbling about how she even couldn't make anything without magic—before she quickly rushed off towards the edge of the village and gasped in awe at the sight of their fleet used mostly for traveling to Dragon Island….wait fleet?

"There are a lot of damaged ships that came back." Rapunzel muttered as she stood next to Stephanie, giving worried looks to the Berkian wizards that came off the ships while Hiccup was silently panicking on the inside. "Are dragons that dangerous?"

"I'm amazed they still use ships to travel! I mean I thought muggles were the only one to do that!" Stephanie smiled as more Vikings wearyingly got off the boats and took their damaged weapons. "Do you guys use wind to travel or magic?"

"Who's tha commin' in ta front?" Merida asked as she pointed to the least injured of Berkian wizards, striding up the wooden staircase up to the island. "He looks kinda like my dad."

"That actually would be my dad." Hiccup sighed as the chief of Berk finally took notice of his sons guests—his eyebrows rose dramatically—and began making their way towards them. The four friends gave Hiccup a 'you're kidding' look before they quickly turned around to pay their respects to the leader of what would probably be the toughest wizard community in the world.

"Hiccup…I see yer guests made it here in one piece." Stoick muttered as he eyes the tiny children standing before him.

"Yeah, um Gobber picked up Jack and Stephanie," Hiccup muttered, pointing to the two mentioned. The neighbors gave the chief a small wave who merely grunted in acknowledgment, "And Merida came with her mother and Rapunzel."

"Nice ta meetcha sir." Merida bowed—something her mother annoyingly reminded her to do—before standing up straight. "Ma mother wanted ta say thank yer for ta invite and hopes yer have a wonderful chris—err Snoggletog." Merida quickly corrected as she saw Hiccup's face.

"Thank ya lass. Now out of curiosity, what houses have yer five been sorted inta." The chief's face lit up in excitement as the five friends gave each other looks. Hiccup winced as Merida began to speak up, already knowing the disappointed look his father would give him. He had been so careful not to mention his house—he even wore plain robes when he came back for Thor's sake—but it seemed that he couldn't escaped his father this time. As he turned towards his only muggle friend, he saw Stephanie's face turn pale before he realized that if his father found out about her status she might not be as welcomed. Sure they had their resident muggles—Mildew and Bucket—but Mildew gave Berkians a horrible view on muggles and Bucket…well ever since a dragon smashed his head, he hadn't been right since.

"Um….well I'm in Gryffindor…"Merida began as Stoick gave her a hearty laugh.

"So yer all in Gryffindor then?! I knew my son had it im ta be brave! Even though he was a horrible wizard here, he's not tha bad over in yer community." The chief boomed, catching the attention of the rest of the village causing the rest of the friends to hunch over.

"Yer son's in Gryffindor then?!" A random Berkian asked causing mutters to go around. Hiccup shrunk in on himself even more as the rest of the village became hype up. After all, Gryffindor was the house known to produce the best wizards, Harry Potter came from that house for Odin's sake!

"Finally he's making himself a better wizard!"

"He'll finally be something we won't be ashamed of!" that caused a lot of laughter among the wizards but before Stoick could say anything more, Merida cough out, catching the attention of the chief. She was crossing her arms and gave the chief a pointed look before muttering out,

"Not all of us ar in Gryffindor." Merida nudged Rapunzel, signaling that it was her turn to go next.

"Actually….I'm in Hufflepuff…" Rapunzel squeaked out before tapping Jack's shoulder.

"I'm in Slytherin…" Jack muttered quietly as the rest of the adults looked at Stephanie and Hiccup for their answers.

"I…um….well….." Stephanie started, but her face began to heat up and she couldn't form any coherent sentence so it was Hiccup's turn to tell his father what house he was in. He wasn't expecting a good reaction at all.

"I'm…..in Ravenclaw." Hiccup sighed as the rest of the village gasped in shock and as Hiccup looked up to this father, his smile slowly turned into a thin line and Hiccup had a feeling that if his friends weren't here, his father would be frowning and sighing even heavier than he was now.

"Ravenclaw…." Stoick muttered lowly, unable to believe what his son had told him. The rest of the villagers began muttering with the same disbelief their chief had. "They sorted you into Ravenclaw?"

"I um….well a hat did and um…" Stoick sighed once more as the crowd among them began to disperse leaving the chief and the five children alone in the middle of the village. Hiccup lowered his head in shame, he knew that something like this would have happened if he told his father the house he was sorted into. However, having his friends witness it, make it three times unbearable.

"Get your friends into the Great Hall, they're probably hungry." The chief finally muttered, turning around and walking away.

"R-ravenclaw isn't a bad house you know!" Stephanie managed to speak out, causing the chief to pause for a moment. "Just because Gryffindor is known mostly for producing the best known wizards doesn't mean the other houses don't. Hiccup will be the best wizard on Berk , I just know it and Ravenclaw will help him to become like that!" The chief said nothing and continued on his way, greeting villagers left and right.

For a couple seconds, none of the friends said anything as they saw Hiccup slouch even further. Merida could only give Hiccup a sympathetic stare, knowing the pressure of pleasing your parents and living up to their expectations. But she had a father who didn't mind having a daughter who was out there and encouraged her to be who she wanted to. Hiccup…he only had his father, and if he couldn't live up to his father's expectation, who was there for Hiccup to tell him that it was ok? It seemed like no one on the island really liked Hiccup at all considering wherever they walked, the villagers gave the small wizard a scornful look. Were they the only ones who accepted Hiccup who he was?

"So um….food? What do you guys have to eat?" Jack asked, earning a jab from his neighbor. "What? I don't know what else to say!"

"Its fine don't worry." Hiccup chuckled nervously as he played with his fur cloak. "Let's just um get to the Great Hall before all the good tables are taken." Without another word, Hiccup quickly led his fiends towards the brightly lit large stone and wood structure where many of the Berkian wizard were already gathering.

"Look! It's the runt." A new voice sneered, causing the friends to turn around in anger while Hiccup slumped his shoulders even more. "I don't even know why you bothered to come back to Berk for Snoggletog, just stay with the wimps over in Hogsnort."

"It's called Hogwarts." Stephanie muttered, glaring at the young wizard that came up to them. He wasn't alone as four others—including the female blonde witch Stephanie saw earlier—joined him. The boy who spoke up first seemed to fit in with the typical Berkian stereotype with his already buff body, dark hair and snarky attitude nudged the boy—err girl….one of the blonde twins causing them to laugh.

"It's already a stupid name, right Snotlout."

"Snotlout?" Merida snorted causing the boy to glare at the redhead. "Ya tellin' us tha our school sounds funny when yer name's even funnier? Ha, oh Merlin, tha's a good one."

"Hahaha now that I think about it, Snotlout is a pretty funny sounding name." The other twin snickered before slapping their twin on the back. "Tuffnuff is funny sounding also."

"So does Ruffnutt!" Tuffnutt growled out as he pounced on his twin and began wrestling with her. The blond witch sighed heavily at her….comrades' behavior before turning towards Hiccup.

"Hope you learned something drop out, there's still a dueling tournament going on and I think you embarrassed the chief enough." Turning around, the blonde witch walked past the wrestling twins before Snotlout quickly rushed after her, complementing how "awesome' and so 'Astrid'. Astrid merely punched Snotlout in the stomach to shut him up and continued her way to the Great hall alone.

"Well….on the bright side they're not as bad as Slytherins right?" Stephanie chuckled nervously while Hiccup sighed even deeper.

"I am so screwed."

---

"And I thank everyone for coming here tonight to celebrate our annual Snoggletog festival and feast! After tonight's feast, we'll continue our traditional duels and games. So….DIG IN!" Stoick cried out, finally ending his three minute speech—Rapunzel was surprised it even lasted that long—earning similar cries from the other Vikings and less than enthusiastic cries from Hiccup and his friends before they quickly went to grab their meals and sat at the very end of the Hall, away from everyone else.

"Well, I must admit, the food taste very good." Stephanie smiled as she gulped down a piece of Yak leg. "Never though yaks would taste like pork though…."

"And the fish is amazing! What kind of fish is it?" Jack asked through a mouth-full of fish.

"Jack! Chew your food first." Rapunzel laughed as she calmly ate her small piece of….what she hoped was chicken…..before taking out her water bottle she brought with her.

"Least it's a lot more lively tha ma family dinner's." Merida smiled as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve—ha her mother couldn't tell her no because there wasn't any napkins here—before settling a glare as a familiar group of young Berkian wizards began walking towards them. "Wot ar they commin' here for?" Merida hissed to Hiccup as he tried to shrink into his chair.

"It's not like we have that much room here and there are other tables that aren't that full." Rapunzel whispered before Hiccup sighed.

"Probably my dad's idea. There's not a lot of children around the same age here on the island so the ones that are usually stick together and well, I guess Dad wanted to make sure that they had more people to interact that are around the same age as well."

"I wouldn't mind talking to them if they changed their attitude though." Stephanie muttered through her cup—before she spit it out as she tasted the alcohol in it. "Please tell me you guys have water…I don't want to go home drunk…."

"What? Can't handle a bit of our island's regular drink?" Snotlout laughed before he pushed himself in between Stephanie and Rapunzel. "Sorry but this table is reserved for the cool kids."

"And where would they be?" Merida asked, gripping her cup tightly, "Cuz I certain'y don' see them."

"Why you little…."

"Thanks for saving us a table losers, now scram. We can't all fit here." Tuffnuff laughed as he pushed between Merida and Jack while his sister sat in between Jack and Hiccup.

"Yeah, we don't want your smelly germs get on us."

"If anyone getting germs it's us and your bad hygiene." Stephanie grumbled before her cup flew towards her and spilled right on her shirt.

"Hey! You can't do that to her!" Jack growled out as Snotlout looked bored.

"Do what? I didn't do anything runt number two. I would need a wand to do any magic according to you guys."

"Wandless magic?! Yer guys can do that?" Merida screeched standing up in surprise and anger as Rapunzel got up and tried to help Stephanie get rid of the stain on her blouse.

"Of course, it's required for us to learn a bit of wandless magic." Astrid snorted as she took a seat at the edge of the table. "It's mostly for basic spells, but some of the top wizards from our island don't even bother with their wands once they master wandless magic."

"That doesn't mean you get to use it for bullying." Jack growled as Stephanie and Rapunzel stopped trying to get the stain out, it was going to stay there for a good while.

"It's not my fault the twerp can't use a small deflective spell to block it." Snotlout shrugged before grabbing Rapunzel's dinner and quickly ate the rest. "Hmmm, blad I got bis befothor they phan out." Snotlout smirked with a mouthful of chicken causing the twin to laugh uncontrollably before Stephanie stood up.

"Laugh all you want, you may be able to perform wandless magic, but without any brains, it might as well as be useless since you'll never use it for the proper things."

"Oh is that a challenge?" Snotlout smirked as he finished Merida's drink. "Fine, I'll take you on once dinner is over and we'll see who'll have the last laugh."

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble but that won't happen…" Stephanie muttered, growing red at the position she placed herself into.

"Aww, is the foreigner a scaredy cat?" Snotlout snickered as the twins laughed at Stephanie's growing red face.

"Snotlout that's enough." Hiccup tried his best to growl, but it only proceeded to make his cousin laugh even harder.

"Or what? You're gonna blast me with bright lights? Oh like that worked last time." The bulkier cousin laughed even harder before he got out his wand and pointed it Stephanie. "If you really wanna show me you mean business then you're gonna have to stop me."

"Wait, stop you from doing what?!" Hiccup cried as Stephanie eyed the wand warily, but before anyone in the table could do anything, Snotlout flicked his wrist and Stephanie went flying in the air.

"STEPH!" Jack shouted as Stephanie began to spin around in the air before he angrily pulled out his wand and pointed it at Snotlout who didn't even look fazed. Merida joined him but they were stopped by the twins who held out their own set of wands at them. Meanwhile, Rapunzel could only stare in horror as Stephanie's face began to turn green at the many spins she completed. Hiccup found himself frozen at his spot as his cousin used his favorite spell that he, himself, fell victim to many times before.

Move! Hiccup told himself as Stephanie placed her hands over her mouth to try and keep her dinner in, looking much like he did just a couple months ago. Move! But his body refused to comply with him.

"Let Stephanie go right now!" Jack growled, gripping onto his wand tighter in which the twins just laughed.

"Don't feel bad." Ruffnutt laughed, enjoying the sight above them while the adults paid no attention to the commotion they caused. "She's just going to our ritual we have with runts like loser over there."

"Please! Let her down!" Rapunzel pleaded, "She's going to throw up."

"No way, she has to get out of it herself." Snotlout laughed before Jack decided enough was enough as shouted the first spell he knew of,

Windgardium Leviosa! Pointing to a set of metal plates he flung them at the twins distracting them enough for Merida to hex Snotlout with a small tickling hex her father taught her, making the Berkian Viking lose his concentration on the spell he had Stephanie in. Before Stephanie could thank any deities for making the world stop spinning, she realized that there was no spell holding her up any more and at the height she was at, a broken bone didn't seem that farfetched. Stephanie screamed as she plummeted to the floor, finally earning the attention of the adults in the Great Hall.

"STEPH!" Jack shouted, as the twins held him and Merida with ropes—how in heck did they know such advanced spells—and the young wizard could do nothing as his best friend fell.

"W-windgardium Leviosa!" Hiccup stuttered as he hastily pulled out his own wand and tried to stop Stephanie from her inevitable fall. Stephanie stopped for a moment—Hiccup couldn't help but let out a gasped, because honestly he didn't think it would work—before the spell faltered and Stephanie continued to fall. However, before she could hit the ground, she found herself slowly descending and turning back upright so that her feet landed on the floor first. Once she touched solid ground, Rapunzel quickly hurried to Stephanie's aid as she struggled to stand upright before Jack joined her as the ropes around him and Merida disappeared.

"What in Thor's name is going on!" Stoick bellowed, earning winces from the Berkian wizards and a glare from Merida.

"Yer charges need ta be taught manners!" Merida growled, "They lifted Stephanie inta tha air and spun her!"

"I think I'm going to need a bucket…." Stephanie groaned as Jack quickly went to grab the biggest mug he could find, and immediately placed it in his friend's hand just as she threw up her dinner.

"Snotlout…." Stoick growled as the Berkian wizard actually looked frightened.

"What? It was a simple spell she could have gotten out of!"

"Well, she can't do magic!" Jack growled as Rapunzel rubbed circles on the mugggle's back—who continued to pour her dinner into the mug. "She's a muggle!" Jack's words earned several gasps in the Hall and made the Berkian wizards cringe even more as Stoick's glare intensified.

"Yer perform magic on a muggle!"

"We didn't know! She acted like a witch!" Snotlout quickly defended himself before pointing to his cousin. "Besides, he didn't tell us that he was bringing a muggle!" Hiccup, shrunk in on himself as he faced his father's angry glare. He probably should have mentioned to his friends that on Berk, while they did have muggles on the island, they really weren't as welcomed as foreign witches and wizards and if they did visit they always wanted to know ahead of time if any muggles were coming since they practically use magic on each other all the time. And if someone was caught using magic on a muggle….well, the consequences weren't good.

"Hiccup…."

"I um….yeah, I should have told you, but—" Stoic groaned heavily before placing his hand up to stop his son from explaining further.

"Enough Hiccup. Enough….we'll have a talk about this later. Snotlout, clean up the mess you and ta twins made." The chief pointed to the messy table the children once sat at earning groans.

"But I didn't—"

"Yer preformed magic on a muggle, be grateful I'm not punishing you even further." The chief grumbled before adding, "And yer can't use magic."

"WHAT!?"

"Make that the entire Great Hall."

"Yes chief…." The bulky Berkian wizard grumbled as he walked to get the bucket and brush they used occasionally to clean up grime. He gave his cousin and his friends a snarl before pushing Hiccup out of the way that would have sent him to the floor if Merida hadn't caught his arm.

"Alright, everyone back to the feast!" Stoick bellowed, "This food isn't going to finish itself." And within seconds, the Great Hall went back to its loud, rowdy, and festive ways, as if the incident with Stephanie never happened.

"Wotcha still doin' here." Merida hissed as Astrid and a large—larger than Snotlout—blonde hair Viking still stood around the table. The twins had bailed the moment the chief gave Snotlout his punishment and were currently creating havoc elsewhere.

"If you haven't noticed, there aren't any other tables to sit at." Astrid muttered, sending a glare of her own at the red head. "Trust me, I wouldn't be sitting next to you guys if there wasn't any other options."

"Glad you think so highly of us." Jack growled as Stephanie finally finished dry heaving into the mug. "Hey how are you doing Steph?"

"….sorry hiccup…."Stephanie mumbled out, her eyes half open and her skin paler than normal. "Didn't…..want….get…in trouble…."

"It's fine." Hiccup sighed, giving her a sad smile. He never wanted her or any of his friends to have suffer like he had at the hands of his cousin, that's why he was so reluctant to invite them over, but the damage was done. "I should have warned you guys about my cousin…"

"Don worry Hic, it's not yer fault. And if he tries somethin' again, we'll pound him." Merida smiled cheerfully before a scoff turned Merida's smile into a frown. "Wot?"

"Even if Snotlout can't use his wand, he'll still be able to take you down. Even Fishlegs here has a better chance and he's practically useless." Astrid answered causing Merida's face to turn bright red.

"Merida, don't do what I think you're going to do." Rapunzel pleaded as she tried to pull Merida back but the red head was already walking towards Astrid before stopping just a inch in front of her face. Her mother used to come in close just like this in order to intimidate her—or whenever she was really mad at her, whichever came first—and it boiled her blood even further when Astrid didn't even flinch.

"I challenge yer to a wizard's duel."

"After dinner?"

"Jack shall be ma second. Yer's?"

"I won't need one." She smirked before turning away. "I'm going to get ready. I suggest you do as well. Here on Berk we don't like it when a wizard's duel finishes too fast and without bodily harm."

"Well, they'll get a show then!" Merida shouted as the blonde witch left leaving the five friends alone with Fishlegs who quickly hurried out as Merida gave him the same glare as before.

"Merida, you don't even know how to duel!" Hiccup cried, "Why would you even challenge her to do that? Do you want to die because I can guarantee she will not make it painless."

"I can't jus' stand here an let them humiliate Steph!" Merida hissed as Stephanie shakily stood on her two legs. "How yer holdin' up?"

"Better….but I think a bathroom break is in order." Stephanie smiled weakly. "Know where the nearest bathroom is?"

"It's just outside the Great hall. A couple of houses to your left. It's a pretty big sign that you can't miss." Hiccup answered before holding out his hand. "I'll take you—"

"It's fine. I can manage on my own." Stephanie chuckled nervously. "I um….don't like it when people see me like this…I'm pretty sure I have barf somewhere in my hair as well."

"But Steph what if—"

"Jack, I'll be fine. The adults know I'm muggle so they'll make sure nothing bad happens to me." The black haired muggle smiled softly as she walked towards the side exit of the building. "I'll be quick as a bunny. You won't even know I was gone."

"Jus make sure ta yell if those jerks do sumthin' ta ya." Merida huffed, crossing her arms. "We'll come runnin'"

"Will do." Stephanie mumbled before disappearing out into the cold winter air. For a couple of seconds, Jack looked anxiously at the door where his best friend had just left through, tapping his foot impatiently before he finally cracked.

"You know what I think I'm going to the bathroom too." Jack said before Hiccup sighed

"The bathroom for men's are on the other side of the building, Jack…."Jack paused in mid-step before turning around and gave the girls a pleading look.

"Fine, we'll check on ta lass." Merida sighed as she grabbed Rapunzel's arm. "Com on Punzie, we got sum checkin' up ta do."

"Oh um ok sure. Be back soon." Rapunzel smiled to the boys as Merida dragged her out of the hall, just a minute after Stephanie did.

"Thankfully there's no real danger besides Snotlout and the twins on the island today." Hiccup sighed as the girls left the two remaining Hogwarts student standing awkwardly at their messed up table. "You don't have to such a worry wart, dragons don't usually come during this time of the month so a raid isn't likely."

"So you guys constantly get raided by dragons?" Jack asked Hiccup who merely nodded. "Why haven't you moved? I mean I would especially if there's not a way to fully protect your home from dragons."

"We're stubborn. We don't want to move and with nearly every land already occupied by other wizards or muggles, there's not a lot of choices for us even if we decided to move."

"I guess you have a point…but for some reason I can't help but feel as if something is going to happen…." Jack sighed heavily as he crossed his arms.

"You're not the only one." Hiccup muttered, "Ever since we entered the Hall I knew something was gonna happen and after the incident with Snotlout I thought it would go away but…."

"It didn't….yeah….maybe it's just the food…" The small brunette mumbled before the front entrance to the great hall slammed open, revealing an out of breath Viking with burn marks on his arm. For a second, everyone went quiet taking in the Viking's appearance as he stumbled towards the main table where Hiccup's father stood up with a frown on his face. Finally, The Viking coughed out the words Hiccup and many other Vikings were sadly accustomed to.

"Dragons! Dragons are attacking!"

"Everyone to yer stations!" Stoick bellowed out as the Viking slumped onto the table before two other Vikings quickly caught him and apperated him out of the hall. "Gather yer weapons and make sure to keep the live stock away from the devils!"

"I thought you said there were no dragon raids during this time!" Jack turned to Hiccup as the rest of the Vikings ran out of the Great Hall without bumping to each other due to years of experience.

"T-there shouldn't be!" Hiccup cried as his father stomped towards them, with a stern frown on his face. It took Hiccup years of figuring out his father's facial expression since most of them looked so alike and while he may have looked mad, Hiccup could easily tell that his father was worried. And why shouldn't he be? After all they had guests on the island and a muggle…Hiccups' face soon turned pale his father as Stoick couldn't located Hiccup's missing friends.

"Where are the rest of yer friends Hiccup."

"Currently outside at the moment without any way to protect themselves during a situation like this!" Jack shouted, as he turned towards Hiccup. "We have to get them out now—"

"No!" Stoick bellowed, silencing Jack. "The two of yer stay here. We'll get yer friends back here in one piece and once yer all in here, STAY in here."

"But dad—"

"Gobber can handle the blacksmith today. He's been doing fine on his own since yer left." Stoick growled out as he grabbed a spare axe from a nearby pillar. "And I mean it Hiccup. Stay put."

"But dad!" Hiccup cried out once more but his father paid no attention to him as he ran out of the building, briefly showing the two Hogwarts students the burning inferno the dragons managed to create in less than a minute. Their cries echoed in the Great Hall along with the shouts and screams of Vikings as they battle against the flying fire-breathing lizards.

"What are we going to do?" Hiccup muttered, his eyes going wide as he pulled at his hair. "This wasn't supposed to happened! Oh mighty Thor, what if the girls get hurt?!"

"Then the more reason we should go out there and get them!" Jack shouted, pulling at Hiccup's tunic so that he was face to face with the smaller wizard. "We have to get them before any of the dragons do!"

"But how?!" Hiccup shouted. "I'm useless at using magic and you don't know any advance spells to even stun a dragon! How are we going to help them if we can't even defend ourselves?! All of my inventions are still in the blacksmith which by the way is in the middle of the island and that's if Gobber didn't make them into scrap metal!"

"I can't just stand here and do nothing! Not while Stephanie, Merida and Rapunzel are out there defenseless!" Jack growled as he let go of Hiccup. "I'm going to go and get them myself. Are you going to come or what?"

"This is probably going to bite us in the ass later on but what the heck." Hiccup sighed as he took off his cloak—it was too heavy for him to move around freely in—and held onto his wand tightly. "Let's get the girls."

"That's more like it." Jack chuckled as he took out his wand, before taking off his jacket as well. HE didn't want it to get destroyed since his sister gave it to him as an early Christmas present. The two boys gave each other a nod before they rushed out into the burning island, only thinking about saving their friends from a fiery death.

If we manage to get out of this alive…..one thing's for sure….Stephanie is sooo going to owe me.

And Finte. Sorry about the late chapter, finals were coming and that came before anything else sorry. And I'm also sorry if there's any grammar or spelling mistakes. Nearly forty pages to edit on your own is not easy. Maybe during break I'll be able to spit out another chapter but please don't be too hopeful.
