"Jack I-I think-I" she stammered as I leaned in slowly.
"Yes Elsa?" I whispered huskily as I took her hand in mine. She looked up in my eyes as she too leaned in. Our lips were brushing against each others' when she spoke again as she brought her hands around my neck and I snaked my hands around her waist to pull her close.
"I think I'm in love with yo-"
"JACK WAKE UP!"
"Aauugh!" I screamed as I sat up in bed only to bump my head with Flynn's.
"What the frikkin hell do you think you're doing man?!" I groaned and asked him.
"Waking you up, of course! Now c'mon, we're already late for breakfast! Today's Friday which means that you can dream all you want about -Girl tomorrow." Flynn replied while buttoning his shirt up.
"What are you even talking about?" Jack said cool and calm on the outside, freaking out on the inside.
"Don't act like you don't know dude 'cause everyone in this school knows how crazily in love you are with Elsa Winters" He stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world (which it is XD)
"N-No I'm not! I just have- a great admiration for her! Yeah, that's it!" Jack squeaked, turning to collect his clothes to go to the washroom but instead met with Flynn's unconvinced look which made him throw up his hands in surrender.
"Ok, fine, you got me. I do like her but I'm not in love with her" he said as he rubbed the nape of his neck.
"Oh puh-lease. I beg to differ. You're head over heels in love with her" Flynn scoffed.
"No I'm not! Tell me at least one incident which proves that I'm in love with her!" Jack shouted form inside the washroom.
"Ok, let's see. You chose most of the classes which she has taken. You became close friends with her sister so that she will introduce you to Elsa in 4th year and you continue being her friend because she's fun to be with and 'cause sometimes she invites you to hang out with her and her friends and you take the invitation at once whenever Elsa joins them. You helped her cousin and her red-headed friend to get out of trouble once and you literally jumped on the bed when Elsa came and thanked you. You were so damn worried when Elsa was sad because someone stole her wand and she couldn't get it back even after trying the Summoning charm so many times. You searched the whole castle and made me search too and you were so ecstatic when she thanked you so many times for finding her wand. And the next day after the wand incident, she smiled at you whenever you both saw each other and you were smiling like an idiot the whole day. And you literally freaked out when she invited you to go to the Three Broomsticks when you accidently bumped into her on our last Hogmeade trip. You even hung a Slytherin guy upside down when he was sleeping because he teased Elsa for being a goody-two-shoes. I could go on but not enough time right now so get your ass out of the washroom" Flynn stated.
Jack's face was red the whole time as Flynn listed the incidents one after the other.
"I did all that 'cause I had a crush on her. Love is a strong word" Jack stated as he stepped out of the washroom and reached for his robe.
"Whatever. But seriously, you have to ask her out before the school year ends bro. Who knows? Maybe some other guy might ask her out and Elsa, being her polite self, might say yes as to not break the guy's heart and she may start liking him and they may start dating and-" he wisely shut his mouth when he saw Jack's glare.
The two of them made their way up the dungeons and to the Great Hall. They reached the place they always sit but Flynn paused.
"What's wrong Eugene?" Jack asked.
"Remember when I told someone else might ask her out?" he asked. Jack nodded and Flynn continued speaking while staring somewhere in the front of the Gryffindor table.
"Well, it's happening now, sorta" he stated and pointed at something- or rather someone at the Gryffindor table. Jack turned so fast that it was a surprise he didn't get a whiplash. His eyes narrowed into dangerous slits as he watched a Gryffindor seventh year, Alladin, one of the chasers in the Gryffindor Quidditch team, walking towards the Ravenclaw table where Elsa, Anna, Astrid, Merida and Rapunzel were sitting as it was usual for students to sit at different tables with their friends on normal days. He was holding a bouquet of blood red roses with a tag which said 'Go out with Me?'.
"We can't let this happen! C'mon Flynn!" Jack hissed as he pulled Flynn towards the Ravenclaw table.
Both of them finally made their way through the students to where the five girls were sitting.
"Hey there ladies" Flynn said to catch their attention. Jack tried his best not to turn beet red when Elsa laid her eyes on him and smiled at him, which he reciprocated.
"Hey there guys. To what do we owe the pleasure of your presence" Astrid, a Slytherin and a close friend of Jack's, asked sarcastically.
Jack's hands started sweating when she asked that.
What can we possibly say?! "Hey there girls, we came here to stop Alladin from asking Elsa out on a date because I have a crazy crush on her!" yeah, right. That will be the first option in my How To Embarrass Yourself In Front Of Your crush list.
"We-uh" Jack stammered but Flynn cut him off.
"Oh c'mon Astrid, is it wrong for me to spend some time with my girlfriend and her friends?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around the blushing Ravenclaw who pecked his cheek, causing him to grin.
Woah, Eugene actually got an idea?! Now that's a first….
"And I guess he dragged you with him?" Anna asked. Jack nodded as he rubbed the nape of his neck and he turned a little pink when he heard Elsa giggle at him.
"Well, I guess both of us and Merida are gonna be the fifth, sixth and seventh wheels now" Elsa said as she pointed at Hiccup and Kristoff walking towards them. The former, a Hufflepuff, sat next to his Slytherin girlfriend while the latter, also a Hufflepuff, did the same with his Gryffindor girlfriend.
Having nowhere else to sit, Jack sheepishly took a seat next to Elsa, who was sitting next to Merida, who was staring at the three couples while her cheek rested on her fist which rested on the table while her other hand held her fork. (And no, she was not jealous of Hiccup and Astrid if that's what you guys are thinking. She's just frustrated of the six of them acting all lovey-dovey)
Jack looked around and saw that Alladin was nervously talking with his friend, nicknamed Genie who was another Gryffindor, as he kept glancing towards them, which made Jack narrow his eyes. The former finally seemed to have managed to gather some courage and he walked towards them.
Jack panicked for a second and placed his arm around Elsa's shoulders as he leaned towards Merida to talk about the Quidditch match against Slytherin and Ravenclaw which was gonna take place on the next day. He felt her stiffen and he started freaking out on the inside but he managed to seem nonchalant on the outside. But a few seconds later, to his surprise and relief and ecstasy, he felt her relax under his touch. Both of them blushed as they leaned into the other's touch.
He continued to talk with Elsa and Merida about who will win and was immensely surprised when he saw Alladin walk past them and give the bouquet to Jasmine, a Gryffindor, who was sitting with her friends, right next to where they were sitting.
Jack let out a sigh of relief but continued talking as even the others joined in their conversation. But sometime later, the bell rang and he reluctantly took his hand from her shoulders and both parted ways to get their books for class. An idiotic grin was plastered on his face the whole time and Flynn didn't even bother asking if he's alright. The brunette knew how lovesick the white-head could get so he just left the Slytherin Quidditch-star to his thoughts.
Later that day, the two of them found themselves seated in Potions again. Jack felt that his relationship with Elsa was at least going somewhere these past days. I mean, when the two of them did the love potion together, she had said that she had smelt his, in his opinion, heavenly cologne and his heavenly aftershave which meant she likes him, right? And it was no surprise to him that he had smelt the minty scent which followed her everywhere and there's no doubt about the chocolate as she is obsessed with it. But that didn't mean she had smelt his cologne and aftershave. Many boys in the school could be having the same combination and she could've mistaken it to be his? So she might like someone else?
But today when he panicked and placed his arm around her, she stiffened for some seconds but she relaxed later. She could've easily rejected him by pushing his hand off her but she didn't. So she likes him? But Elsa being Elsa, could've felt that was too rude so she could've reluctantly let him hold her. So….. no?
Yes or No? Like or dislike? Goodness, women are hella confusing.
Jack snapped out of his daydream when he heard Professor Merryweather come in. He quickly looked around and saw Elsa was sitting and talking with Jasmine, who was still gushing about how cute Alladin is and it was so romantic of him to ask her out with a bouquet of red roses.
"So students, today you all will concoct a draught of Living Death. Recipes can be found on page number 10 in your books. But let me tell you this, it's desperately tricky to make a perfect draught of Living Death" Merryweather said mysteriously.
Jack quickly got to work and this time, he was determined to be the best. He wasn't miserable when it comes to Potions but he wasn't the best at the same time, like Elsa or Hiccup or anyone else for that matter. And ever since the "Harry Potter era" as they say, many changes were introduced in the portions. Like many errors in the potions textbook were corrected, more information was given to the students about the dangers of dark magic, more ways of defence was introduced and the list went on.
And the new determination had nothing to do with his desire to impress Elsa. Yep, it had definitely nothing to do with it.
"Excuse me Professor, can I please borrow ? She's wanted by the Headmaster. It's an emergency" Professor Flora, the Head of Gryffindor, asked Professor Merryweather. Did I mention before that Merryweather is the Head of Ravenclaw? The two sisters have been in this school since ages, with their other sister Professor Fauna who so happens to be the Head of Slytherin though she's very calm and friendly compared to many of her students, and along with Professor Godmother, don't ask me how she got that name, who is the Head of Hufflepuff.
Jack suddenly became very worried. What is the issue that North, his uncle and the Headmaster of the school, could've called for Elsa during class? He hated to call students while classes were going on but why now? And Elsa would never do anything to break rules, unless it is necessary, so why is she wanted by him? If Jack was called, no one is gonna be surprised as he usually loves to pull pranks on others. He never means any serious harm, just a little joke, that's it. Maybe to brighten someone's mood or he pranks the students who usually bully the younger ones. Like Hans, for example. Jack can never get enough of the expressions Hans gives whenever a prank is pulled on him and trust me, no one in the school, except his bully gang, feels sorry for him whenever he's the victim of a humiliating prank.
Well, back to the present. Jack glanced at Elsa who didn't show even a slight hint of anxiety. She glanced towards him as if she felt his gaze and both of them looked away quickly while blushing when their eyes met.
Jack continued brewing his potion and even though Elsa was not in the class anymore, not that he wanted her to see his potion, yeah, definitely not, the determination didn't fade. He continued to brew the potion with full concentration and finally came up with something. He was not satisfied with how it looked which left him a bit dejected. He stood by his potion and waited for Professor Merryweather to finish checking the others' potions. She soon reached him and dropped a leaf in it. Jack winced when he saw the leaf burn like as if it was put in hot oil. He expected to hear a long lecture about what he should've done but she just stared at it with wide eyes and he sighed.
"I'm so sorry Professor, I'll try harder next tim-"
"It's perfect" she whispered in wonder and Jack's eyes grew wide.
"What?" He asked in disbelief.
"Oh my fairy-ness, it's perfect! Very good job my boy! I told you that you had it in you!" she exclaimed and patted him on his back while he saw- no, scratch that- star*ed as his potion.
…..
"So all of you did pretty well with your potions today, well, most you did" she stated as she glared at some boys whose cauldrons had exploded. "But none of yours was near perfection" she added.
What? But she said mine was perfect!
"All except one" she said as she glanced at Jack who smirked. " has brewed his potion so well that it was perfect! Very good job Jack!" she exclaimed. Jack thanked and smirked while thinking about how shocked the rest of his friends will be when they hear that Jack had come first in class for something other than Quidditch.
"Dude, how did you manage to do that?!" Flynn asked as they stepped out of class together. Jack smirked at how shocked Flynn looked.
"Well, you gotta concentrate hard man" he said like an expert.
"And I bet all my money that you tried so hard just to impress Elsa" a familiar voice spoke from behind them. The two of them turned to see Kristoff and Hiccup walking to them. Jack blushed a bit.
"I did not!" he exclaimed.
"Did too!" the other three shouted.
They kept going back and forth like this and soon reached the Great Hall, only to see a group or students surrounding something in the middle of the hall.
"Is that Hans and Elsa with the other girls standing in the middle?" Kristoff asked as he stood on a bench nearby to see what's happening. The boys glanced at each other worriedly and made their way to the front of the crowd.
"Leave my sister alone" Anna hissed as Astrid and Merida next to her on both the sides, all three of them glaring at Hans.
"Anna" Elsa warned as she pulled Anna and Astrid back while Punzie pull Merida who looked ready to rip his head off his neck.
"Elsa you know you don't always have to be the goody-two-shoes around here. Being a little bad won't hurt. Say, Friday night, my dorm?" he asked. Jack's blood boiled and he stood in front of Elsa who was furious, yet calm.
"Stay away from her" he hissed. Hans and his gang whistled and he smirked.
"Will you look at this? Prince Charming has come to his princess's rescue 'cause the princess is too weak and can't even open her mouth" Hans snickered deviously as he walked around Elsa and Jack and Jack protectively pulled her closer. Anna was already fuming in her place but Elsa warned all of them not to take their wands out.
"But I have to admit Jack; you have the best taste in women. You've chosen the one with brains, a pretty face and a good body shape too" Hans spoke as he eyed her up and down and placed his arm on her upper thigh.
Jack's fury burst out and he grabbed Hans by his collar, punched him in the face and lifted his leg to crotch him but someone pulled him back. The others followed suite and soon many other students rushed to stop the angry students. Tooth tried to hold Anna back as she already threw a punch and a kick at the douchebag. Some other students held back Astrid, Hiccup, Merida, Kristoff, Flynn and Rapunzel but Jack wouldn't listen to anyone. He even froze Aster's hand just 'cause he was holding him back. And nobody could even go near him as icicles and frost started popping up all around him. Never had anyone seen him this angry. Elsa rushed to him and faced him and placed her hands on his shoulder.
"ELSA LET GO OF ME! JUST WAIT THERE YOU ASSHO-"
"Jack calm down" Elsa spoke in the same warning tone she had used with Anna a few minutes ago.
"Elsa he just sexually harassed you! I should be killing him and not standing here! Just let me at him!" Jack yelled as he lurched forward, just to be stopped by Elsa again.
"Jack please. Calm down" she said again. Jack stared right in her eye and spoke.
"Elsa, how do you expect me to calm?! I'm not gonna just stand and watch my girl getting harassed by this son of a-" he yelled but Elsa cut him off.
"Jack please" she begged. He huffed angrily and stopped fighting. Elsa let go of his shoulder and turned him to take him away. But once Elsa let go, he swiftly turned back to Hans and punched him square in the face, only to realise that Anna had done the same. The two punches had thrown him off his feet and he landed somewhere behind the tables. Jack and Anna snickered and did a fist bump while still looking at Hans who was wailing loudly.
"What's happening here?!" a voice boomed. All the students turned to the front of the hall where North entered, looked confused and furious. His anger increased when he saw Anna but more specifically Jack towering over a trembling Hans whose nose was bleeding profusely. His temper flared and he pointed at Jack and the rest of the group including Elsa and pointed at the direction of his office and stormed off. The group i.e. Hiccup, Astrid, Merida, Flynn, Punzie, Kristoff, Anna, Jack and Elsa, reluctantly made their way to the staircase but Jack paused and turned around and saw that only a few students were in the hall and the door was locked.
"Tell anyone else what happened and I'm gonna track you guys down, freeze you completely and throw you in the Forbidden Forest" he hissed at the students, and luckily only the seventh year students were there. He brusquely followed his friends and noticed that Elsa was walking behind all of them while looking at the ground in sadness. He suddenly felt a gulit wave pass over him. He walked next to her and apologized.
"eh, Elsa? I'm-uh- very sorry. It's completely my fault that even you are called to the principal's office. You told me to stay back but- um- I couldn't just stay calm a-after how he behaved towards you. Will you forgive me?" he asked her anxiously.
He crossed his fingers in his pocket while reciting "Please, say yes, Please, say yes" in his head. If Elsa forgives him he would be beyond happy but if she doesn't, it's gonna break his heart. I mean he's been trying to get her attention from third year and developed it to at least an innocent friendship in the past years and now, if she doesn't forgive him, all his efforts will be thrown in the dump. He anxiously waited for her reply but it never came. He hung his head in disappointment.
"Oh, ok. I understand that you're not ready to forgive me right now." And he distanced himself from her.
All of them soon reached Professor North's office. They went inside one by one with their hands at their back and Jack stepped in last, to find a furious North who was intensely staring at his intertwined fingers which were on the table in front of him. Professor Fauna walked in from another door with a scowl on her face, holding Hans whose nose was bandaged. Jack saw how Astrid and Merida did a fist-bump behind their backs as they were standing next to each other.
"I never expected this behaviour from any of you! Especially the two of you and ! As the Head Girl and the Head Boy, I never thought you would be like this!" North bellowed. Hiccup just glared at him while Elsa hung her head in shame and Jack, who was standing next to her, could see the tears forming in her eyes, which angered him a lot.
"And you two, and , being the current prefects of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, you should have stopped them, not taking part in the fight yourselves! And that includes the others too" he shouted again. The two of them along with the others, like Hiccup, held their head up high and glared at North.
The group hated the harshness in North's voice, which was usually cheery and happy.
"And you, Jack, I've already given you plenty of warnings in the past! I'm ashamed to call you my nephew!" he yelled at Jack and expected him to hang his head, but Jack glared intensely at him. He hated the man shouting at them. This was not his jolly and fun uncle who always encouraged him to do the right thing. No, this was North, Headmaster of Howarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who was currently ashamed of his students without even knowing the truth.
"Well, of Hogwarts" Jack sneered which angered North even further "Let us explain and then you can yell how much ever you want" Jack stated. North glared and Jack reciprocated the action but soon North grimly nodded.
"Well, Elsa, Anna, Merida, Rapunzel and I were just hanging out in the Great Hall when we saw Hans and his gang bullying a first-year Ravenclaw. As the Head Girl, in Elsa's case, Gryffindor prefect, in Anna's case and Ravenclaw prefect, in Punzie's case, it was their duty to stop them, which they did. They took off some points of Slytherin which angered Hans. He started insulting us and he was flirting with Elsa" Astrid started.
"I couldn't just stand and watch my sister getting harassed so I stepped in. Hans started insulting my parents and started saying things like somebody else in my family would've died and that's the reason you called her during her Potions. I charged at him but Elsa held me back. And that's when Jack stepped in" Anna continued while glaring at Hans and North.
"Knowing Elsa, she would never do anything to break the rules except when it is really necessary. So obviously she felt getting in a fight was not a good thing so she stayed quite but I didn't. When I went and stood next to Elsa, he started sexually harassing her so I punched him. I was about to crotch him but Aster held me back. The rest of the group also couldn't control their anger so we all charged at him. The other students managed to hold my friends back but I was way too angry so I didn't listen to anyone and continued beating him up when Elsa interfered and stopped me. And when she let me go, I turned around and punched him one last time, only to realise that Anna had done the same. And that's when you entered Professor" he spat like the name was venom in his mouth.
North's eyes softened and he turned to Hans.
"Is what they say true, young man?" he asked Hans, who shook his head which made North turn to the others with a glare. And the rest of the group, excluding Elsa who still hung her head in shame, couldn't have been angrier.
"Of course! Trust him 'cause he is rich and his daddy works in the Ministry but don't trust the students who are telling the truth 'cause you saw us in the wrong moment!" Jack yelled. He would have continued but Elsa's hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"This is my entire fault Headmaster. Please forgive me and my friends" Elsa apologized.
"Elsa, why the hell are you apologizing?! It's he *points at Hans* who should be apologizing 'cause its his fault and its he *points at North* who should be apologizing 'cause he's the one who has misunderstood everything!" Jack yelled.
"Jack, give respect to your elders" Elsa scolded. Jack just crossed his hands and looked away, before making his way to Hans and pulled him by his collar.
"Jack! Stay where you are!" North bellowed but Jack didn't listen to him.
"So we're lying eh? Tell that once again, I dare you" Jack challenged while glaring at Hans and lifting Hans by the collar while lifting his other hand to punch him. Hans quickly brought his hands up in front of his face.
"I'm sorry! I lied! What they said was true! Please leave me and don't punch me, please!" he whimpered and begged. Jack quickly let him go and Hans stumbled a few stepped back.
"Hans Westerguard you are suspended for three months! Get out of my office!" North yelled, clearly angered. Hans quickly ran away from there and North sat on his chair while rubbing his eyes with his index finger and his thumb.
"And which one of you locked the door of the Great Hall? And why, may I ask?" North asked. Hiccup spoke up.
"That would be me. We definitely didn't want the students to spread the rumour that Elsa got harassed by Hans all over the school so I closed the doors so no one would come inside and luckily, when the fight took place, only seventh year students were there. And at least they knew what to do and what not to do and after how Jack threatened the students, I don't think anyone is gonna open their mouth." He finished.
"That's Hiccup. Using his brain even when fight is going on" Astrid rolled her eyes before pecking his cheek, causing him to grin goofily.
"That was really clever of you Hiccup. And fine, I agree that what Hans did was bad but I don't see any reason why you would interfere yourself in this mess Jack. I mean, ok, let's see. Anna and Rapunzel are her family, Astrid and Merida are her best friends, Kristoff, Hiccup and Flynn are her friend's and sisters' boyfriends and they are pretty close with her so they all fought. But you caused the maximum damage but I don't see why. I've not seen you hang out with her much" North asked as he raised his eyebrows.
Jack turned beet red as the others turned their head to him while smirking and he even saw Elsa look at him with confusion.
"I-eh-um-she's my f-friend, that's why!" Jack stammered. Nobody seemed satisfied with his answer.
North stroked his beard. For the way Jack was blushing and stammering, something told him that it's Elsa whom Jack has been crushing. But he's not gonna admit it in front of her if he's gonna stand there, blushing and stammering.
He only says the truth when he's angry so….. North smirked when he got the idea but quickly replaced it with a frown.
"Ok, I'll just send a Howler to your parents informing your bad behaviour. And the Winters will be receiving two howlers, one for Anna and the other for Elsa. And I can even excuse Anna and Rapunzel, and I'm excusing Hiccup for using his brain but Elsa, your badge will be taken and given to someone else" North winked at the others (excluding Elsa and Jack) who frowned for a second but smiled realising his plan and placed a frown on their faces while desperately trying to keep they laughter at bay.
Jack's head, which was previously hanging as he tried to avoid Elsa's curious gaze, snapped up and he glared at North.
"That's not fair! I mean, Anna fought but all Elsa did was hold me back! In which way is that bad behaviour! You're seriously unbelievable North! And take her badge? What the fuck did she do that was not according to the rules?! Elsa is the perfect Head girl this school can get!" Jack yelled. Elsa was surprised at what he said while the others just pretended to be shocked but all of them already knew about his crush on her.
"But Jack, its Elsa who is not gonna be Head Girl for the rest of the year. You are gonna continue being the Slytherin house Qudditch team captain so I don't see why you're getting so worked up" North stated, trying to hide his smile. What? Just 'cause he shouted at him doesn't mean he's not happy that his nephew if finally grown up and he couldn't have chosen a better girlfriend. And to his delight, Jack grew angrier by the minute.
"Why? WHY?! THAT'S 'CAUSE I CARE FOR HER!" Jack screamed. Elsa blushed when she heard him but Jack didn't notice her as he was too busy glaring at North and if looks could kill, even North's ash won't be seen. And the frost spreading around the room from where he was standing made it clear that he was way far from just angry.
"But why?" North asked in a mocking way.
"THAT'S 'CAUSE I'M FUCKING IN LOVE WITH HER AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS!" Jack screamed at the top of his lungs and icicles shot out from behind and front of him and frost spread all around the office.
Elsa's eyes widened and her whole face turned red as she looked at Jack who looked ready to kill anyone who dares to talk to him. The group silently cheered behind his back and North gave a satisfied smile as she leaned back in his chair.
Jack finally realised what he had blurted out and turned even redder than Elsa. He avoided everyone and ran from the office while the others called out for him. He ran and ran, outside the castle, down the stairs and finally reached the place where he always sits. The place where he rests when something was troubling him; the place where he spends most of his free time; the place he sits when he's completely hopeless: a tree at the edge of the Great Lake, where nobody could see him. The tree was pretty big and was hollow in which he likes to sit.
He sat on the ground, thinking hopelessly that Elsa's gonna hate him and cursed at himself as to why he confessed like that. He had dreamed that he would invite her for dinner once they are out of school and then take her in a Ferris wheel and confess to her when they are on the top which has a really great view. He would gift her with a snowflake necklace ad she would agree ad they would end off the night with their first kiss.
Jack sighed as he gazed at the Great Lake and spotted the Giant Squid for a second before it swam inside the lake again. Jack sighed when he heard footsteps walking towards him.
"Go away Eugene" he groaned. But what he heard surprised him.
"Its actually Elsa here" he turned back and saw Elsa walking towards where he was sitting. He quickly stood up and caught her when she tripped over one of the roots which were poking out of the ground. Both of them blushed and pulled back and Jack nervously rubbed the nape of his neck while Elsa shyly glanced at him and then at the lake.
"Wow, now I get it why you prefer this place to the rest of the school. It's calm and peaceful here and the view of the lake is pretty cool." She said as she looked around. Jack stayed quite as he looked at his shoes with his hands stuffed in his pocket. Elsa noticed this and looked at him.
"Um, what's wrong?" she asked, though she already knew the answer. Jack glanced at her before looking at the ground again.
"As I said before, I'm really sorry. It's my fault that even you were called to North's office. I know that you probably hate me now." he sighed in the end. Elsa smiled and made him look at her before placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I didn't exactly tell you that I don't forgive you, did I? My silence doesn't mean I'm angry; it means that I'm just thinking things over." She said. Jack smiled as she turned her gaze back to the lake.
"How did you even find this place? I would do anything to just leave all my duties and stress to rest here for a day" she said as she admired how comfortable the hollow looked.
"My dad said me about this place. He told me that when I have any problems or when I'm feeling hopeless, I can just sit here and relax. He said me that this was the place he met my mom" he said and thought, and this is the place I first saw you.
Didn't understand what he said- well, thought? Well, our dear hero was resting near the hollow and looked around, only to see Elsa and her friends happily chatting just a few feet away. Nobody usually sat near the tree as its surroundings were usually cold, even when the day was at its hottest. While the others were chatting loudly, Elsa sat there, reading a book. And just as he stepped out of the hollow, he had heard Flynn call out his name very loudly, which had captured everyone's attention, including Elsa's and that was the first time their gazes had locked. Elsa soon snapped out of the trance and he had seen a light pink tint spread across her cheeks, and as he turned around to meet Flynn, he was sure he was red as Ariel's hair.
Well, back to the present now.
"That's so sweet" Elsa smiled as she looked at the lake again.
"And you can come here if you want" Jack said. Elsa looked at him and replied.
"I would love to Jack, but this is your secret spot. I can't just come here and claim this place as mine" she chuckled.
"It can be our secret place" he emphasized on the word "our" hoping she would get what he was trying to say. Elsa just looked at him in confusion while Jack turned away while muttering a 'forget it'.
"I heard that you did the perfect Draught of Living Death. I should admit, , that was impressive. Never knew you had it in knew, no offence" Elsa chuckled as she gazed at the lake. Jack blushed and replied, "None taken" as he looked at her and not the lake.
"And yeah, thanks for standing up for me like that Jack. Seriously, no one except Anna and Astrid has ever stood up for me before" Elsa said a bit shyly as she looked at her feet and blushed. Jack couldn't help but think that she looked adorable.
"It's no problem. And don't worry; I'll stand by your side for the rest of my life, even if I have to sacrifice myself" Jack said sincerely as he placed his hand under her chin and made her look him in his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other while Jack decided to make the first move. He slowly leaned in, hoping she won't reject him. And to his surprise and delight, she leaned in too. His hand, which was holding her chin, slowly made its way to the back of her head and buried itself in her hair while his other hand snaked itself around her waist and pulled her closer as her hands went up his chest and around his neck, both of their eyes becoming half-lidded. Their lips were only millimetres away and he felt her breath mingle with his own. And finally, their lips met.
Jack closer his eyes in bliss and leaned her head in a more comfortable position. This moment was what he had been dreaming of. Shivers and electricity went up and down his spine as he felt her hands running through his already-messy hair. He put all his love in that kiss, hoping that this won't be the last. And this felt waaaaaaayyyy beyond his fantasies.
After what felt like forever, Elsa pulled back but they remained in the same position. Both of them gazed into the other's half-lidded eyes before Elsa pulled him for another kiss, which he responded with the same enthusiastic fervour. But all things have to end.
The two of them completely pulled back when they heard Giant clock struck ten. They avoided each others' eyes thoroughly.
"I-um-I-I gotta- I gotta go so-heh-b-bye!" she squeaked and ran towards the castle but paused just a few feet from the tree. She turned back and saw Jack still staring at her in a daze.
"A-And just so you know, I've liked you too. Just from fifth year. I don't know if its love yet, but I am sure I see you um-way more than a friend" and she ran off while blushing like all the blood in her body was in her face.
Jack just stood there, frozen in his place until a fruit fell on his head, which snapped him out of his trance. He whooped and did a crazy celebration dance before running into the castle and to North's office, only to find him standing by his window, which has a clear view of the tree, with a smile on his face.
"Even though I'm supposed to be angry at you, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!" he jumped on North and kissed his cheek.
"And just so you know, I was just joking about sending Howlers. I did that knowing that you would confess only if you're really angry." North chuckled. Jack hugged North once again while thanking him and he ran off to the Slytherin dormitories.
Flynn eyed his best friend as he walked- sorry- ran in with a wide and stupid lopsided grin. He just kicked his shoes off and fell on the bed with a lovesick sigh. Flynn smirked when he saw lipstick smeared on Jack's face.
"Looks like you finally got what you wanted buddy" Flynn smirked and went to sleep, thinking about his own girlfriend.
