A/N: Sorry about the late update but I fear they will be a little late for a while now, I have exams that I must revise for and I bust my hand, making typing difficult :/ I will keep updating this story and my others, writing when I have time, but as I said previously updates may be tricky :S anyway, here is the next installment :) hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Usual rules apply, if you recognise it then it's most likely not mine ;)

The air was slightly chilly that night and it caused shivers to gently run up and down Anna's spine, she glanced to the girl walking next to her who didn't seem to even feel the cool temperature, the hand held in her own squeezed Elsa's, she grinned when it was squeezed back.

"Come on, we're almost there." Elsa moved her to the left and away from the regular part of the lake curving them around until they were waking along the edge, away from where Anna would usually go. They got to a rock which was jutted out and hanging over the black lake and Elsa brought them closer. She pulled out her wand and quietly murmured a spell under her breath, aiming at the area of rock where they would be sitting. She tugged on Anna's hand and got her to sit down, falling elegantly next to her. Anna gasped, the rock, which she had expected to be cool at the very least, felt warm, like sand which had been in the sun.

"What, you didn't think I'd let you freeze did you?"

Elsa then shrugged her cloak off, ignoring Anna's protests as she hung it over the smaller girl's shoulders.

"But it's freezing out here! I don't want you getting ill because of me!" she argued, Elsa shook her head and held the cloak around her shoulders.

"Its alright, the cold never bothered me anyway."

"Well if you insist…" she crossed her legs and held her knees to her chest, Elsa sat a little closer to the edge, her feet dangling over the rock and above the water as she leant back on her hands.

"So when are the lights gonna appear?" Anna asked, bubbling with excitement.

"Well, any second now actually…" almost as if it were timed to perfection, light green rays started to hover above the water, reminding Anna heavily of the Northern Lights her parents kept talking about. Seconds later a darker blue floated upwards and joined them, the colours merged into an odd purple colour and then the lights split off into groups, rays of both green and blue pairing off. Then there was a splash, and a female Mercreature flew out of the water, flipping in the air and landing with an almost silent splash. It repeated it again, this time being followed by a male Mercreature, its blue light mixing with the female's green as they both landed in the water in sync. They did this many times, not stopping even as the other Merpeople jumped from the black lake, each doing the same actions with spins and twirls, doing some sort of dance with each other. The lights filled the area and shone bright and pure, it surly was a sight to behold.

"Wow…" Anna's jaw was on the ground as she watched the display.

"Yeah…" Elsa answered, only her gaze was actually on the redhead beside her. She mentally slapped herself and turned her eyes to the Merpeople, smiling and waving back when one pair spotted them and greeted them with a mid-air wave. Anna spotted this and frowned.

"I thought Merpeople were very territorial and didn't like meeting strangers, which is why this is such a rare sight."

"Well, they sort of know me already. I used to come here a lot in first year and by second year practically all of them knew me."

"You're friends with Merpeople? What other secrets are you hiding Miss Arendelle?" Anna teased, although awe was still present in her eyes.

"You will have to find out Miss Menzel." Elsa teased back, winking and grinning triumphantly when the shorter girl blushed lightly.

"This is amazing… how do you think they find one another?" Anna asked, moving her gaze to the Mercreatures yet again, Elsa smiled and followed their movements with her eyes.

"They can sense it from birth, they mate for life and as soon as they are born they can feel the bond. They only act upon it when at full adulthood as that is when the females can control their Thrall and find their other half. The male feels the call and finds them, and then they are mated. It really is quite sweet if you think about it."

Anna was practically gushing with glee.

"That is so adorable! If only it happened like that for humans too."

So focused on the Mercreatures and their display, she did not notice the shadow fall over Elsa's eyes, nor the frown as she looked to the ground, rubbing the rock with her palm distractedly.

"Yeah, well. You never know do you?" Anna met her eyes and grinned, failing again to notice the dark hue which Elsa's eyes had taken.

"That's right." She replied in a singsong voice. Elsa kept her eyes on Anna's profile even when she had turned away. She sighed and shifted herself to be a little closer to the redhead. She picked up Anna's hand and turned it palm up, running her forefinger over it and tracing the patterns of her palm. Anna had tensed do to the sudden cool touch, but then she had quickly calmed and relaxed her shoulders.

Elsa herself also had to fight the urge to shiver, feeling the same thing she had felt all those years ago. It still managed to baffle her to this day how Anna had first met her, but still, she was always glad it had happened.

She thought back to that day with a small fond smile.

"I don't know what to do Sir! They are just getting more powerful!" younger Elsa cried, holding her hands as far away from her body as possible, looking like she would detach them if she could.

"Do not worry my dear; soon you will be able to control them." A calmer voice told her. Elsa threw her hand up in the air in frustration, letting out a whimper.

"Please Sir! Help me, I- I can't do this on my own!"

"You must Elsa, you must and you will. The Prophecy foretold that you will use your powers, for the good or-"

"The bad, I know Sir."

"Do not interrupt me child. Unless you want me to leave you again?"

"No! Please Sir, please don't leave me!"

Elsa fell to her knees before the person who could not be seen, sobbing into her hands. Suddenly there was a shift in the air, and they heard footsteps running down the tiled floors.

"W-who is that?"

"There shouldn't be anyone here Elsa, go see who it is." The voice was stern and Elsa obeyed without delay, pausing only to bow at the unseen person and then running out of the door and into the corridor. The people in the paintings on the walls all pointed down the hall and she followed their lead, running towards the sound of a person crying.

She was confused as to why a person would break into her house and then curl up to cry, but still she ran on.

And then she found the source of the heart wrenching crying, at the back of a dead-end corridor was a small figure. As Elsa got closer the torches on the walls lit aflame, and there at the end of the hall was a small girl, smaller than Elsa anyway, with red hair, pale skin which was dusted with freckles, and, when she looked up, deep blue eyes which were clouded with tears.

"W-who are you?" she asked, Elsa was in shock, how had this girl even got there in the first place?

"I-I don't know where this is. I was in the garden with my brother a-and then I was walking and then I was here! Where are we, who are you? W-what is going on?"

Elsa felt something warm flutter in her chest, she felt the cold leave her finger tips and go back up her arms, now she had found out the 'threat' was nothing but a scared girl the same age, if not younger than, herself.

"Hey, it'd alright, I'll help you, okay? I'll get you back to your family." She held out her hand and the girl took it. They both gasped as their skin made contact.

It was like a shock had run down each of their bodies, shooting down their arms and slamming into their hearts. Their heartbeats increased rapidly and they were both a little breathless, the girl with red hair looked up with a small blush on her cheeks.

"I-I'm Anna, who are you?"

Elsa, for the first time in months, cracked a small smile in return.

"I'm Elsa."

But then her smile fell, as she remembered the last part of one of the best days of her life.

"It was for the best Elsa."

"Did you really have to take everything away from her? Every memory of today, even that she was my friend?" Elsa mumbled, slouching deeper into the dark green sofa chair as she scratched the armrest with her finger nail lightly.

"I'm afraid so child, you will understand when you are older, but for now you must trust me."

"Okay… I trust you Sir."

"Elsa? Are you alright?" Anna asked, noticing how the blonde's face had hardened into a scowl. The expression was quickly wiped away and replaced with a little grin.

"Yes, I am alright Anna. Are you enjoying the lights?"

"Yeah, they are amazing!" she had her own grin as another pair of Mercreatures shot out of the black water to flip and spin gracefully, "You're amazing Elsa, thank you for showing me this."

"It was my pleasure Anna, anything for you."

Anna felt a blush slowly spread up her cheeks, she had been facing Elsa when she realised just how close they actually were. All it would take would be a small push forwards and they would be face to face.

Her eyes flicked down. Rather lips to lips.

She looked up to Elsa who had seemed to have noticed the distance and had frozen in space. Anna swallowed lightly and slowly leant forwards.

But then Elsa's hands shot out and caught the redhead by the shoulders, halting her in her tracks.

"Wait, I-"

"Oh Merlin, I got the wrong idea didn't I? I-I'm sorry, I-I'll just leave. P-ple-ease don't tell anyone that I just-"

"Anna! Calm down, deep breaths okay?"

Anna nodded and slowed down her breathing, she edged away from Elsa and held her legs, her face a bright red.

"Look at me Anna, please?"

She really didn't want to, but when the one and only Elsa Arendelle asked her to do something, well, who was she to say no?

So she looked up, and saw the small calming smile Elsa wore.

"Anna, listen to me please. I do want to kiss you, but-"

"But you're worried I'm too young? That I am too inexperienced and not good enough for you?" Anna rambled, Elsa's eyes hardened and she squeezed Anna's shoulder tightly.

"No Anna, stop that thought process right now."

"Look," she sighed and relaxed her grip, maintaining eye contact, "the only reason I stopped you is because I was raised to be a gentlewoman. And I find it wrong that you would give up something as special as a first kiss when I haven't even asked you out on a date yet. Understand?"

"…I don't mind." Anna mumbled, Elsa smiled again and leant forwards, quickly kissing Anna on the cheek.

"Well, I do mind. I want it to be special and I want you to be absolutely certain it is what you want, okay?"

"But I am certain!" Anna whined, Elsa shook her head amusedly and leant away, standing up and extending her hand for Anna to take. The redhead eagerly took hold of Elsa's cool hand and pulled herself to her feet. Elsa stood before her, her face still being lit up by the gentle green and blue lights from the lake.

"Anna Menzel, I am formally asking you to accompany on a date to Hogsmeade this Saturday, what do you say?" at the start she had seemed confident and sure of herself, but by the end she was a little nervous. Anna grinned despite her hit and miss she had experienced not too long before, and she nodded.

"Well, Elsa Arendelle, I herby accept your offer." She made her voice as posh as possible to match the taller girl, but it did not bug Elsa, who now felt like she was glowing with joy.

"Good." She squeezed Anna's hand and tugged her towards the Merpeople again, smiling as a pair jumped up to high five each other, something she herself had taught them. They spent the rest of the night stood there watching the Merpeople until the early hours of the morning where Elsa had to practically drag Anna away from the lake and up to the common room.

They said their goodbyes and went their separate ways for that night until the morning, when they would have their date.

Anna had a skip in her step as she thought about it.

I have a date with Elsa Arendelle! The most amazing girl to ever live!

She got into her shared room and saw her friends sat on Rapunzel's bed, talking and trying to stay awake. They jumped up when they saw her and fired questions at her at rapid speed.

"What was it like?"

"Did you kiss?"

"Did you talk about much?"

"Make out?"

"Where did she take you?"

"Did you frick frack?"

"Merida!" they both yelled at the previously oblivious girl, who now seemed open to talk about it, obviously Rapunzel had been talking to her, but still.

"What? I'm curious!"

Rapunzel shook her head and turned her attention back to Anna.

"So? What happened?"

Anna couldn't contain it any more.

"She asked me out on a date!" she yelled, jumping up and fist pumping, the two girls squealed and jumped with her, the questions coming quicker now with a demand for more detail.

"Guys! I gotta go to bed, I have a date tomorrow!" her smile was contagious as the other girls now had matching ones on their faces.

"Fiiiiiine, but you're giving us the deets tomorrow Anna Banana!" Rapunzel called to her as she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get ready for bed, Merida ruffled Anna's hair and jumped into her own bed, having got ready before Anna arrived.

"By the way, we dealt with Kristoff and Flynn, their sorry and want to apologise. I recommend giving them the silent treatment for a few days before forgiving them, make them beg for it." She winked, causing Anna to laugh and shake her head in amusement.

Soon Rapunzel had left the bathroom and Anna too could get ready for bed, when she came out her friends were already passed out in exhaustion.

She grinned at them and got into her own bed, quickly joining them in slumber, her dreams filled with blue and green lights, thoughts on the next day and a

certain platinum haired girl.
