Author's Note:

Hello everyone and welcome to another story set in the 'Differently Similar' AU. Yes I know that I've still got a story ongoing but I got this idea so I decided to run with it and take a bit of a break from my 'Family of Fire' AU for a little while. 'Sweet Wraith' will not be forgotten and I am writing the next chapter for that fic so it will be updated soon. This is a 'dragon transformation' fic but seeing as my AUs are mostly centred around Snotlout it will be Snotlout who turns into a dragon. It will mostly be Snotlout's adventures while he is a dragon so there probably won't be much in the way of serious plotlines but we'll see how it goes and I hope you enjoy the first chapter.

I do not own any aspect of How to Train Your Dragon.

"Don't glare at me like that Snotlout, this is your fault and you know it!"

Snotlout grumbled at Hiccup's statement still intent on blaming him and the older cousin sighed, "You just had to go near that house didn't you? Why can't you just learn to leave things alone?"

The younger cousin snorted at Hiccup's words, the older cousin was hardly much better and it wasn't like the house looked particularly dangerous. It was in the darkest part of the forest…in the middle of a ring of standing stones…surrounded by a sinister mist…covered in cobwebs…and had runes carved into its walls but there was nothing else to suggest it was a witch's house. How was he to know that the occupying witch would panic upon seeing Hookfang and then strike him with a hasty spell before vanishing in a whirlwind leaving him the way he was now?

Namely as a baby Monstrous Nightmare.

In all honesty Snotlout would've found the whole thing quite cool if he'd been turned into an adult Nightmare or at least an adolescent (which would've made a lot more sense considering he was a teenager) but instead he was a baby dragon which was kind of…embarrassing. Toothless was noticeably confused by the sudden transformation of his rider's cousin and was staring at him quizzically, Hookfang on the other hand (or was claw now?) seemed to quite like his rider's new form and was grinning at the little Snotlout dragon.

Hiccup gave another sigh, bent down, put his hands just behind Snotlout's new wing joints and lifted him up, Snotlout gave a small growl of protest and waved his wings around as he squirmed in his cousin's grip. Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Snotlout, will you stop wriggling around!? The best thing we can do now is get you back to Berk, tell dad what's happened and hope Gothi has an answer to this. At the moment you can't ride Hookfang so you're going to have to ride on Toothless with me."

Snotlout waved his wings again pointedly and Hiccup gave his third sigh in a short space of time, "You may have wings but you're a baby dragon so they might not be developed enough for you to use them, even if they are you don't have the instincts or knowledge to use them properly so unless you want me to throw you off a cliff to see if you're naturally talented at flying you'll be riding with me on Toothless."

The younger cousin thought for a moment before deciding that Hiccup had a very good point and grunted in reluctant agreement. Shaking his head Hiccup carried his dragon-cousin over to Toothless and gently placed him on the Night Fury's back just in front of the saddle, the older cousin then mounted his dragon and placed a firm hand on Snotlout's back to keep him in place. From his position Snotlout found himself taking in the wonderful view that was the back of Toothless' head, he was so small that he couldn't see over the Night Fury's ear flaps and neck and looking sideways didn't yield much either. There was a considerable lurch as Toothless launched into the air and Snotlout let out a squeak of alarm, the motion felt considerably more violent than when he was human and he wondered if that was because he was now a lot smaller. Hiccup's hand had tightened at his squeak and he was now glad that his cousin had kept it resting on his back, without it he would've probably tumbled off when Toothless took off.

With Hiccup keeping Snotlout secure on Toothless' back, the Night Fury flew towards Berk with Hookfang following behind.

PS-A short starter chapter but the rest will be longer. Please let me know what you thought and I'll try to update soon.
