Small Sparks
"Would you focus," Zelena said annoyed looking at Henry that was trying to create fire. It was their forth lesson and in her eyes he was not making progress at all.
"I am," he said trying again for no use.
"You are not, think of something that make your emotions going and do it. How hard can it be," she snapped at him.
"You are worse than Severus Snape," Henry snapped at her.
"He was a kitten in compression," she rolled her eyes, seeing some smoke develop in his hand.
"You actually know who that is?" He said rather surprised by this.
"I have had a lot of free time over the last year, since I don't have a TV I read," she said with a shrug.
"Who is your favorite in the books?" He wondered a bit surprised.
"Bellatrix and Hermione," said she, before saying, "Your lesson of the day is almost over now produce that fireball," she demanded.
He tried again sighing heavily, nothing. She sighed as well saying, "You are a teenage boy there has to be something that upsets you, someone that makes you made, use that anger to create fire," she said, looking at him.
He nodded again, thinking and focusing hard, this time managing to made a red flame appear. He smiled pleased, she nodded, saying, "There you go, now go home."
"Thanks Zelena," he said and gave her an unexpected hug, before getting on his bike to get hom.
It was not long after he walked in the door of the apartment he shared eith Emma and the Charming's. He didn't get why they have to stay there, but he didn't complain about it, just walked towards the stairs to get to the room they let him borrow there.
Snow that was home, about to make dinner saw him coming in, and said, "Hi Henry, how was your day?"
"It was great," he said, as the magic lessons was something that made him forget he was upset with Emma for leaving him on his own. He did miss New York and his friends.
"That is good, so what did you do after school?" She wondered.
"Spent some time with Zelena, but it got to do homework, will you call when it is dinner?" He wondered.
"Of course," she said and smiled at him, wondering what he was doing with Zelena.
At the same time in Regina's garden another witch was getting rather upset with her student. Emma seemed to be more interested in her than the magic. She let out a huff saying, "Focus Emma."
She sighed trying to canalize her anger and make a fireball, finally succeeding. Of course she had done it the same way when they saved Henry, but she knew she had to be faster and better and so Regina had agreed to train her.
"Good, enough for today," Regina decided as she did have other things to do as well.
"Alright, want to come home and have dinner?" She wondered.
"I think I'll pass on that, breakfast at Granny's tomorrow?" She wondered.
"I'll be there," she said and gave her a kiss before she headed home.
"Are you sure it is wise to teach Henry magic?" Red wondered, it was before opening hours and both was having their breakfast at the diner.
"Relax it is not like he will be strong enought to do any harm," she said rolling her eyes slightly.
"He is only some years younger than his very mother was when she killed villages," Red argued.
"Wrong she had her men do that, she killed very few by her own hands," said Zelena calmly, taking a sip of her coffee. She let out a sigh of satisfaction due to how good it was.
"You are aware his very mother, your sister is training Emma so she can help you defeat you," said Red with a heavy sigh.
"I know...I know, can we change the subject, what are you doing tonight?" she wondered.
"Spending time with you why?" said Red, her eyes shining with love.
"I thought maybe we could do something new," a glint in her green eyes now.
"I have to open," Red said and got up. She walked towards the door and Zelena put her airplugs in. As soon as the door was open young Henry came in and sat down by her table asking, "What are you reading."
"Romeo and Juliet, just about to finish if you want to read it," said she and smiled at him.
"Is it any good, sounds like a love story?" he wrinkled his nose.
"Hmm it is dramatic and it can probably remind you of your parents," said she, finishing the last line and handing it over.
"I will give it back to you when I am done," said he and ran off, before she could say that it really was no need for that. Just as he left Belle and Rumple came in and sat down by a table. She smiled at them nodding and Belle nodded back. She let her eyes go to another book she had in her purse when Regina came in and sat down by her table. Zelena eyed her from the top of the book saying, "Dear sister, how may I help you?"
"Rumors has it that Henry is not playing ball but spending time with you after school," said Regina, rising a brow not pleased.
"And rumors has it you are spending time with Emma, what is your point," she said in a dull tone, browsing a page.
"Clearly you do not want to hurt him, so what are you doing with him?" Regina demanded to know.
"Teaching him magic," no use to lie she figured. Of course she could, but she didn't seeem to see the point.
"But...but he is against it, magic," said Regina shocked.
"Wrong, the Henry that you raised is, this one is trying to find his way back and remember all. He asked and I said yes," she said with a shrug.
"You better not turn him against me," said Regina in a warning tone.
"I have no impact on his thoughts," said she, which was true.
"Hmm," Regina said getting up and walking over to the counter to order. Zelena shook her head as she browsed another page, knowing if Henry went against anyone it would be Emma, she however hoped he would not and she knew she would stop him if she tried.
Feedback always welcome and very much appreciated :o)
