A/N: I'm back from the dead! Sorry, exams got in the way, as well as life, and I kinda lost motivation to write anything for any of my stories. A writer's block type thing. But here it is, its a little short, but the good stuff is coming soon :)
Disclaimer: Same as usual
The next few days were stressful for Anna. She was angry at Elsa for putting her name in the Goblet, angry at the people claiming she cheated, upset about the fact that Elsa would be partaking in the tournament and frustrated with the questions from her friends.
She had left Potions class, feeling Elsa's eyes burn into her retreating back as she refused to turn around and meet them. It had been like that for those few days after the Goblet had chosen Elsa's name, and the awkwardness was noticeable.
Rapunzel quickly got into step with her, followed by Merida as they both hissed at her in hushed tones.
"So she didn't tell you she was gonna enter?"
"How di' she do it then?"
"Have you spoken at all yet? You haven't, have you?"
"Why not?! I wanna know 'ow she got 'er name in there without growing a big bushy beard!"
"Would you both stop it!" Anna yelled, the girls froze in place, eyes wide at her outburst.
"To answer your questions, no, she didn't tell me she was going to enter. I haven't spoken to her yet. No, I don't know how she did it, and I haven't because I'm so damn confused! Happy?!"
She huffed and stormed off, tears stinging her eyes as she held them in. she heard the girls call out and run after her, but she ignored them, even when they fell into step besides her.
"Anna… we're sorry."
"Yeah, we didn' know you cared tha' much."
"Of course I care, she's my…" she looked around to make sure no one was listening, "she's my girlfriend," she whispered, going back to normal volumes, "so of course I care."
"Well you could act like it you know."
The three Gryffindors jumped and gasped as Jack and Astrid stepped out from behind a tapestry on the wall, Jack's expression was blank while Astrid's was stony.
"Aye! Where the 'ell did you come from?!"
"What do you mean 'act like it'?" Anna interrupted her friend, frowning at the two blondes who were still staring at her.
"Look, I understand that you must be feeling hurt, betrayed, and even a little pissy. But you need to get your shit together and talk to Elsa instead of giving her a wider birth than You-Know-Who." Astrid growled out through her teeth.
"If she wants to talk to me she can talk to me." Anna argued.
"Have you even given her the chance?" Jack questioned, eyebrow rose skeptically.
Anna shut her mouth when she realised, she hadn't really. She'd avoided Elsa and ignored her in the halls. She never gave her a chance to explain.
"Well…"
"Look," Astrid interrupted, "we don't really care why you have been avoiding her, or why you felt the need to act like a disgruntled First Year, but talk to her. She's sorta explained it to us and you'd understand if you'd just listen."
Anna slowly nodded, sighing.
"I-I'll try to talk to her."
"When?" Jack queried.
"When I get the chance." She tried to glare at the intimidating duo and moved around them, tensing when she heard Astrid call out behind her.
"And I'd be quick if I were you! A certain brown haired, green eyed French girl has taken a liking to our dear Elsa!"
Anna cursed to Merlin and stomped away, ignoring the confused stares from passing students who had heard Astrid's comment.
"It's alright Anna; you can talk to her after lunch." Rapunzel offered, touching her shoulder lightly.
She stiffly nodded her head and continued on her march to Transfiguration class.
Elsa saw her go and silently stepped to Astrid and Jack, who had been watching them leave.
"Was that necessary?" she asked. Astrid jumped a little as Jack flinched, and they both turned around with innocent expressions.
"Was what necessary?" Jack asked calmly.
"To bring Lucie into this."
"Yes, it was always necessary."
Elsa rolled her eyes and turned to the tapestry, walking through it.
"Hey! Where're you going?!" Astrid called after her.
"The Owlery!" Elsa replied, leaving down the dark tunnel.
~Ax~
It was lunch time and Anna was sat in her usual seat, in between the blonde and redhead. Only this time, instead of looking across the room with a dreamy grin on her expression, she was scowling in anger over the Hall, eyes firing death rays at the brunette girl with green eyes who had gone to the Unholy Trinity's part of Slytherin table and was blatantly flirting with her, albeit secret, girlfriend. She was crushing the table in her grip, her teeth were gritted together and her eyes narrowed, it wasn't hard to figure out she was pissed off.
"That harlot. Showing herself off like she's all that. I'll show her all that… I'll beat her into the ground…" she hissed to herself, catching the attention of Rapunzel who turned away from Flynn.
"Whoa, down girl, calm down. It's alright; she won't be able to do anything."
"Look at her Punzie, she's stunning."
"Yeah? Well you're flawless, so try again."
"I mean it Punz-"
"And I mean it, Nana! Look, Elsa's pushing her away!" Rapunzel hissed back, and Anna was satisfied to see that the blonde was telling the truth. Just then Elsa's eye snapped up to meet hers, and a small smile over took her face as she blanked the brunette, who Astrid ended up pushing away as Jack snickered to himself.
The next moment a loud screech came through the hall, and everyone looked up as a beautiful snowy owl flew through one of the windows. It circled up above a few times before dipping down and gliding majestically to the table, landing softly in front of Anna.
Up close Anna could see the details of the owl. Its feathers were incredibly white, so pure that the tips of its wings and tail feathers had become a light shade of blue, along with small black flecks dotted around lightly in the feathers. The bird's eyes were a bizarre shade of green, its beak pure black. It tilted its head and gently raised its leg, revealing a note it had been holding. She gently took it, waiting for the bird to take off, but it just stared at her, it was quite unnerving really.
She slowly looked away from the bird and to the parchment in her hands, the noise had gone back up as people spoke in the Great Hall, but she could still concentrate on the text elegantly written,
Anna,
I am sorry for what happened, but I truly do need to speak to you. It hurts me seeing you walk away; I just need to talk to you, please. It will all become clear soon, so I would truly appreciate if you allow me to see you. If you do then I will be at your common room this evening at eight. If not, then I'll see you in DADA tomorrow.
Please let me talk to you.
Yours,
Elsa.
P.S: if Kia hasn't left yet, then she wants some bacon for the service.
She looked at the bird, who ruffled her feathers indignantly. She quickly fed it some bacon and Kia flew off with a happy chirp.
"Who was that?" Flynn asked, focusing more on his food as he asked the question absentmindedly.
"Oh… no one." She looked across the Hall, and with a moment's hesitation, nodded. Elsa smiled and stood from the table, ignoring Lucie as she left the Hall followed by Jack and Astrid.
Anna grinned when the French girl threw p her hands in frustration and marched back to her school friends, it felt good that Elsa had abandoned her without so much as a glance.
"I'm going to get a book from the Library." She told her friends, Hiccup immediately sat up.
"Hey, can I come with? I have to see if Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been put back yet so I can take it out."
"Sure!"
They grinned and stepped up from the table, Flynn, Olaf and Kristoff jokingly wolf whistled, quickly being silenced by an arm smack from Rapunzel and Merida.
They got to the library and Hiccup shot off down the isles, whispering back that he would be back in a moment. Anna rolled her eyes with a fond smile and went down the Potions isle, determined to get better at the difficult subject.
She was leafing through one of the books, seeing if it would help her in anyway, when she heard several hushed voices coming from the opposite side of the shelf. She paused and listened, eyes widening when she caught Elsa's name mixed with French accents.
"'ow ees your luck wiz zee enguliesh girl?"
The one Elsa had mentioned before, Lucie, groaned and through her hands in the air with a huff.
"Zey are not going anywhere! I 'ave tried an' I 'ave tried, but she remains content on ignoreing me! What iz eet? Am I not pretty enough?"
There were several quite cries of "Non!" followed by comfort for the older girl.
"You know…" one of them suddenly said, "I 'ave seen 'er looking all, ow do they say, goowey eyed, at le petit girl wiz zee red 'air."
"What leetle girl?" another asked, accent heavier than the other girl's.
"Zee one zat 'angs out wiz the sexy boy wiz zee brown 'air, you know zee one!"
There was a pause, and then Lucie scoffed out a laugh.
"You mean 'er?! She is not eeven pretty! She iz jus' a child in comparison to moi!"
"Oui! I do not know what Elsa sees in 'er!"
They giggled amongst themselves, words slipping back into French. Anna slowly stepped away from the bookshelf and bumped into the one behind her, slowly sliding down onto the carpet floor with a heaving hushed sob. She could hear as Madame Pince told the girls to leave and heard them scamper off with French curses of anger and annoyance. She leant forwards and hid her face in her hand, the other weakly holding the book on the floor besides her. Her shoulders shook as the girl's words echoed through her mind.
It was so much like before Hogwarts, when she was at the Muggle School where she was alienated. Alienated because of her strange words and stories, the supposed lies she told which made her friendless.
The words the kids would call her.
Ugly. Worthless. Soulless. Freak. Lier. Looser. Ginger. Strange. Weird. Abnormal.
It hurt her, and hearing such beautiful, stunning girls say the same things, the same girls who were trying to steal her girl away from her, it hurt more.
She sobbed. She didn't feel like she was worth Elsa, especially with how she had been treating her.
A cold presence seeped over her, and she tensed. She knew who it was.
"Anna? Are you alright?" she looked up and saw beautiful blue eyes framed by platinum hair, perfectly styled, as always.
She just looked amazing.
To good for her.
"Anna have you been crying? Who did this to you? Are you hurt? Are you-"
Anna shot up and wiped her eyes, refusing to make eye contact.
"I gotta go."
She threw the book on the shelf and left, Elsa reached back and snatched at her hand, holding her in place.
"Anna wait, I want to talk to you."
"Not now Elsa."
"I need to explain-"
"Not now!" Anna yelled.
Yes, actually yelled, in frustration. Not at Elsa, but at the whole situation.
She saw the glare from Madame Pince and left without another word. Elsa watched her go, arm falling limp at her side.
"Great… now she won't even look at me, let alone talk to me." She sighed and walked deeper into the library, not aware of the calculating eyes following after her from the bookshelf, confusion and understanding mixing together to come to a conclusion.
The person nodded to themselves and left, an idea forming in their mind already.
A/N: Ooohh those little bitches. Haha, I don't even know, I'm too tired to think of something witty or relevant to put here :J Sorry for the late upload, but Elsanna soon! Please tell me what you think in a review or PM, thanks for reading! :)
