A/N: This is longer than I expected :) hopefully you enjoy and tell me what you think :)

Disclaimer: The usual applies.


Despite her protests her friends had taken her to the infirmary the night before for a check up, Madam Pomfrey had made her stay the night in a surprisingly comfortable hospital bed, although she would much rather she be in the bed in her dorm.

She heard a light groan to her right and she opened her eyes to see what or who it was making the sound. She had slept while cradling the pillow in her sleep, being on her side. So when she opened her eyes she could see the bed next to hers, her eyes widened almost comically wide when she saw none other than Elsa Arendelle in the hospital bed, tousled hair, arm in a sling wrapped in bandages and with the quilt falling down by her stomach.

Just then, before she could look away, Elsa opened her eyes, and they once again made contact with her own. Anna gave her a tiered smile, pushing down her nerves, and rubbed her eye.

"G'morning." She joked, winking at Elsa who gave a small hesitant smile back.

"Good morning, sleep well?" Anna snorted and brought her hand up to lean on, resting herself on her elbow.

"Hardly, I have to admit that these beds are comfortable but I do miss my Gryffindor bed with my friends across the room from me. I can't stand all the white on these bed sheets; I much prefer my red ones."

"Hmm? You have to share your dorm?" Elsa tilted her head a little to the left, barely an inch, and frowned slightly.

"Yeah, don't you?"

"Only with Astrid, the other girls in our house and year don't really like us so they have their own room."

Anna's jaw fell.

"Really? Oh my Merlin that is so unfair!" she whined, still not believing that the illusive Elsa Arendelle was actually talking and joking with her, the girl presumed to not talk to anyone outside of her two friends, and she was talking to her. Elsa smiled and looked down to the bed sheets, picking at the stitching.

Anna watched her for a few moments before asking the question that had been bugging her.

"Why are you in here?"

"Other than to keep you company?" she smirked when Anna rolled her eyes and looked back to her good hand still picking at the stitching, "I er… I have, night terrors, I guess you could say. It only happens every few months and this one was really bad. I fell out of my bed and hit but arm on the desk, breaking it. And I caught myself rather roughly on the floor and cracked a couple of ribs too. Astrid brought me here, or should I say carried me here." She laughed and had a small smile on her face, Anna however, did not laugh.

"That's horrible, are you okay?"

Elsa was at first going to reply with what she had told Jack earlier that night, but then she looked up and saw the sadness and some distress in Anna's eyes, and she instead gave her a comforting smile.

"I'm good, I have some bone healing potion inside me at the minute doing its work so I should be alright in a little bit, thank you for asking."

Anna smiled, a light blush falling on her cheeks at Elsa's smile.

"I'm glad."

Just then the doors at the end of the infirmary opened and Anna's friends all came in. Rapunzel was in first, almost instantly by her side, followed by Kristoff, Flynn, Sven, Olaf, Merdia and Hiccup following behind. They crowded her instantly and all started asking her questions at the same time. Anna felt a little trapped and she glanced over to Elsa who she could see in a gap between Hiccup and Merdia. Elsa gave her another one of those rare for anyone else smiles, which Anna returned.

Unfortunately Flynn saw part of this exchange, only seeing Elsa smile, what he took as menacingly, at his bedridden friend.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing Ice Queen?"

Elsa looked a little stunned for a second, but then her well known blank look came over her face and all emotions from her were lost.

"Flynn, what are you doing?" Anna asked, frowning at her friend.

"Yeah Flynn, can't you keep your voice down a little?" Hiccup added, glancing around nervously for Madam Pomfrey to pop out at any given second.

"She's plotting something, I could tell from her face." He pointed at Elsa who merely raised her eyebrow.

"Leave her alone Flynn, she's not plotting something." Anna rubbed her eyes, she really did love her friends, but they could jump the gun way too much, especially when involving 'Ice Queen' Elsa.

"Yes Rider. Leave her alone."

Their heads all shot to the end of Elsa's bed where Astrid stood, her arms crossed with an angry glare on her face. Flynn instantly paled at the look from one of the notorious Unholy Trinity, but he still held his ground to the girl who supposedly appeared from nowhere.

"Why, what you gonna do to stop me?" it was obvious that he had lost some of the fight in him, but he still put the act for the sake of his pride and dignity.

Astrid smirked, a dark look crossing her features.

"Lets just say that Slytherins know how to get everywhere in this school. Even the Gryffindor fifth year's boys dorms. Wouldn't want to find something nasty in there would you?"

She turned away from the Golden Bunch and looked to Elsa.

"You look like crap." She said.

"Well it's an improvement isn't it?" Elsa winked and Astrid laughed, then she sobered a little and leant in slightly.

"Jack wants to apologise, can he come visit you?"

Elsa sighed and rubbed her head, wincing a little as pain shot down her arm.

"Sure, call him."

Astrid grinned and pulled out her wand, flicking it and pronouncing the spell perfectly.

"Expecto Patronum."

A wispy white doe floated from her wand tip and looked back to her with blank pure white eyes. Astrid spoke to it, ignoring the gasps from the Golden Bunch behind her.

"Go to Jack Frost, tell him the dragon has calmed."

She smirked and winked at Elsa when she threw a glare at her.

"I am not letting you send that."

"Well you can't really stop me can you?"

"No, but my patronus is faster."

Astrid's eyes widened and she pointed to the door, "Go, go, go!" she shouted, her doe danced off.

"Expecto Partonum!"

Elsa's patronus, an average sized pure white wolf with a firmer form and shape than Astrid's appeared in the room, Elsa looked at it and the wolf nodded, running at a much faster speed after Astrid's doe and overtaking it before it even got out of the door. Astrid moaned and face palmed.

"It doesn't make sense that a wolf is faster than a doe." Elsa shrugged and grinned at her.

Not ten seconds later a white fox pranced into the room, jumping up onto Elsa's bed and sitting rather elegantly. It looked up to Astrid and opened its mouth, Jack's voice coming through it.

"You know Elsa is never going to let you live this down, right?"

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Astrid huffed and looked around for a chair, groaning when she realised that the Golden Bunch had taken them all, "All I want is a goddamned chair."

Hiccup instantly shot up out of his chair and pushed it towards her with an adorable grin, a light blush on his cheeks as he rubbed the back of his head.

"H-here Astrid, you can have mine."

Astrid eyed him up for a moment, and if Elsa wasn't watching carefully she would have missed the look of affection which flashed in her eyes, being hidden by her wall moments later.

"Thanks kid." She took the chair, spun it around and sat next to Elsa's head, not seeing Hiccup deflate a little and turn back to Anna, kicking to ground with the end of his shoe lightly.

Then the doors opened and the fox on Elsa's bed disappeared in a swish. Jack strode into the infirmary and sent a glare over to the Golden Bunch who was all watching him for some reason.

"You got a problem?"

They wall looked away and were awkwardly silent. Jack got to the bed and tentatively asked if Elsa was alright she nodded and Jack glanced towards the others surrounding the bed next to Elsa's.

"I think we need some privacy." He brought out his wand and waved it above his head, whispering an incarnation. A bubble surrounded them and all sound was cut off, the privacy bubble in place.

Anna sighed, and hoped she got to speak to Elsa again, soon.

~Ax~

"Oh I forgot to tell you guys, but Hiccup told me that in his DADA class that Professor Spence said that they would be doing a practical next week, apparently we are all going to have to fight a boggart, cool eh?"

"Is he allowed to have one of those? He's not exactly the brightest of people…" Sven asked allowed, frowning as he stared at the page before him blankly, running a hand through his shaggy brown hair as his blue eyes narrowed in concentration.

"Yeah, but I still think it'll be cool to fight a boggart!" Flynn grinned and tipped himself backwards on his chair, balancing on the back two legs.

"Whas' a boggart?" Merdia asked Flynn, flipping the page of the large text book before her as she leant on her hand, exhausted. It was Anna who answered the Scottish girl.

"A boggart is an amortal shape-shifting non-being that takes on the form of the viewer's worst fear."

Merdia eyed her from the corner of her eye and then sighed.

"You spend way too much time with Hiccup."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I am amazing company." Hiccup defended himself.

"Watch out dude, people will start to think that you're dating if you spend too much time together, alone…" Olaf grinned, ruffling his short blonde hair as his dark brown eyes twinkled with mirth at Hiccup's glare.

"No waaay dude, Hiccup is too smitten with Astrid Ferrera to go after our lovely Anna Banana." Flynn smirked but fell backwards off of his chair that he had been balancing on when Anna kicked him under the table. He got a glare from the librarian and he quickly ducked back into his seat, only to receive yet another kick from Anna.

"What the Hell?!" he whisper yelled, fully aware of the librarian watching him like a hawk.

"Wait, wait, wait, Hiccup likes Astrid Ferrera? Dud why? That girl is almost as bad as the Ice Queen herself." Kristoff got a slap on the back of his head, yet again from Anna who had yet to drop the glare.

"I- I don't have a crush on her!"

"Nope, you looooove her!" Olaf sang, Hiccup blushed red with embarrassment and anger, stomping to his feet, picking up his books and leaving the library, ignoring his friends calling from behind him. Anna stood and collected her own things.

"You're assholes, you know that right?"

Then she left and ran after Hiccup.

"Hiccup, Hiccup wait up!"

"Just leave me alone Anna!"

"You can't carry all those books by yourself, give me some of those." She took the first three heavy tomes off of the top of the pile in Hiccup's hands and smiled at him, he sent a small one back and they continued to the Ravenclaw common rooms.

"It's not a bad thing that you like her, you know?"

"Well, it's bad when she doesn't even give me the time of day." Hiccup sighed, looking downcast.

"Hey, don't talk like that."

"Why shouldn't I? Its not like she'll ever date an unattractive looser like me."

Anna scoffed because what Hiccup was saying was ridiculous. She remembers when she saw him for the first time since the start of the holiday near the end of the summer, having stayed in touch through letters, and she remembers how shocked she was. It seemed like puberty had hit Hiccup and it had done a good job too, it also looked like he had been going to the gym if his defined muscles had anything to go by. He may not even know it, but he was quite attractive with his green eyes and somewhat styled brown hair framing his face, his jaw defined and his face manlier, he had caught the attention of almost all the girls in the school, and even more of Astrid's attention, which Anna knew he had since third year.

"Trust me Hiccup, she'll come around pretty soon."

Hiccup glanced to her and smiled.

"You think so Nana?"

"I know so, and don't call me Nana."

"Well there are not a lot of nicknames you can come up with for Anna; you're going to have to-"

"Have a nice trip!"

Suddenly both Anna and Hiccup were airborne and the hallway was filled with laughter as the Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw fell to the ground due to the tripping jinx which had been cast at them, their books littering the floor.

Anna looked up and glared at the sixth year brunette boy.

"What the Hell Hans?!" she yelled, jumping to her feet with her hand on her wand pocket.

"That's Mr Fontana to you." His friends all laughed and started to levitate the books, causing research papers to fall to the floor and spread almost everywhere. Hans caught a sheet of it and Hiccup paled.

"N-no! don't read that!"

"Ohh, is this a love letter?" he asked in a loud obnoxious and teasing voice, "To my dearest Astr-"

"Fontana!"

Hans dropped the paper and a few of his friends ran when the Ice Queen herself flanked by her two friends marched down the corridor.

"M-Miss Arendelle! I was not aware that you would be coming, otherwise I would have-"

"What? Baked her a cake?" Astrid interrupted snidely as they came to a stop before them, she quickly gave Hiccup a glance over and shot her eyes away before anyone could notice, Elsa looked to the floor and saw the scattered papers and held out her hand.

"Give me your wand." Hans looked hesitant and held back.

"Why, what will you do with it?"

"Give me your wand Fontana, now." Hans handed it over and watched it mournfully, already expecting Elsa to snap it right in front of him.

Elsa rolled the wand in her hands, squeezing it between her fingers and hiding her smirk when she saw Hans twitch, a grimace on his face. She twirled it in her hand and held it in both, able to snap it at a moments notice; she looked up and flashed a deadly smirk to the older boy.

"Now, pick up all of these papers and books neatly and give them back to Hiccup and Anna. Oh, and you're doing it by hand."

Hans dropped to his knees, muttering apologies as he picked up the sheets of parchment. Elsa looked over to Anna and flashed a small smile which Anna had greatly missed since that morning in the infirmary five days ago.

Hans had collected all the paper and with another warning, which sounded more like a death threat, from Elsa he left scampering down the corridor.

"Are you alright?" she asked Anna, Anna nodded and smiled, shifting the books in her arms.

"Yes, thank you for that, although I could have taken him." Elsa laughed.

"I bet you could've, but I've never like Hans, and I will forever jump at an opportunity to scare him half to death."

She then looked to Jack who nodded, Elsa sighed and she faced Anna again.

"We have to go; hopefully we can talk again soon?"

Anna nodded eagerly, "I would love to!"

Elsa smirked, "We will have to meet up soon then."

Anna nodded, and then smiled greatly.

"I look forward to it!"

"The feeling is the same for me Anna. Farewell for now."

Then the Unholy Trinity left.

"Did… did Elsa Arendelle just flirt with you? And did Astrid Ferrera look at me? On purpose?! Today is awesome!"

Anna sighed and shook her head with a smile still stretched over it. She followed Hiccup who had a happy bounce in his step to the Ravenclaw common room, her mind still on a certain platinum blonde and what she should expect when they were to talk again.

~Ax~

Again was surprisingly not to long a wait, it was Wednesday when she saw Elsa again, and in the most unlikely of places. She had to go to the girl's bathroom on the second floor as a bunch of sixth year girls had blocked the one she had intended to go to. So she went to the closest one she could find, and here she was.

But strangely enough, it seemed she wasn't alone.

There was a clatter from inside the bathroom which she could hear from the doorway, she paused and listened again, this time hearing glass shatter on the solid ground.

"Are you alright little one?" a deep voice asked.

"Yes, although I may need to purchase a new flask." It was Elsa who had replied, only her voice seemed somewhat hoarse, like she was in dire need of a good drink.

"Indeed," the deep voice chuckled, "But it seems we no longer have the privacy we desire, farewell little one."

Then the voice disappeared, and Anna squealed as Elsa suddenly appeared in front of her, wand tip touching her nose and a cold glare on her features. The second she registered who she was pointing her wand at, her face instantly fell.

"Anna, oh Merlin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you or-"

"Elsa, its okay. You didn't hurt me. You were just spooked that's all." Anna smiled and Elsa let out a breath of relief, running a hand through her hair.

"Well, that's good then."

She sidestepped and gestured for Anna to enter with a sweep of her arm. Anna walked over to the mirrors with a giggle and started to touch up her eye liner a little, glancing out of the corner of her eye to Elsa who seemed to find the tiled floor fascinating.

"So, what were you doing in here all on your lonesome?" Anna asked cheekily, Elsa gave her a small smile and pushed off of the sink she was leaning on and sauntered over to where she stood, leaning on the basin next to hers with a sigh.

"I just felt the need to get away from it all, you know?"

Anna nodded in agreement and leant on her own sink, facing the platinum blonde.

"I know the feeling, but really, this is the place you come for time outs?" she raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming lopsided, Elsa huffed out a laugh.

"No, I normally go to the Astronomy tower, but its taken right about now with classes and such. Where do you go?"

When Anna didn't answer immediately Elsa turned to look at her, a frown forming on her brow at the slight blush on Anna's cheeks.

"Promise you won't laugh?"

Elsa used her finger to draw a cross over her heart.

"Cross my heart."

"… Well… I like to go to the lake."

"What's so bad about that?" Elsa tilted her head, not understanding.

"It's not the location… its why I'm there." Anna had no idea why she was so nervous, normally she would be fine telling this to her friends, but with Elsa… it was different.

"Go on."

"Well… I go there to… to…" Anna sighed; she could do this, "Igotheretoseethemerpeaoplmatinglights."

Elsa looked mildly confused.

"Err… say that again?"

"I go there to see the Merpeople mating lights… I've read about them in the Quibbler and I am determined to see them, even if no one else believes they're true."

"Well, I can tell you that they are spectacular."

Anna whipped her head up.

"You've seen them?!"

"Of course, it is quite the sight to behold."

"C-could you show me?" Anna asked, clasping her hands together and putting on her best puppy dog eyes.

Elsa laughed gently, her voice like music to Anna's ears, and then she nodded.

"Sure, I'll come get you when it's about to happen if you'd like?"

"Yes! Thank you!"

Elsa smiled again, happiness bubbling up inside of her at seeing Anna hop around like an excited child.

"Anna? Are you in 'ere?" they both paused at the Scottish accented voice and Elsa sighed, once again pushing off of the sink.

"That's my cue to leave; I'll see you around Anna." She sent one last smile at Anna before her face was once again blank. She exited the room and ignored the redheaded girl which had just entered, Merida scoffed and pointed behind her to the retreating figure.

"How rude, am I right Anna? See here, what's got you all up in a fizz?" she walked, Anna smiled and practically danced past Merdia, the shorter red head rolled her eyes and followed after her peculiar friend.
