Author Notes

Okay, finally, I can bring you these two chapters. First, I apologize for the time it took to bring these chapters, but it's been kind of difficult to find the proper inspiration to continue the fic. But here we are, and I hope you like it.

Any constructive review is really appreciated.

Chapter X

Consilium et Rohatio

The summer vacation at Luna Nova was approaching, and Hannah was probably the only student in the school who wasn't excited. And why? Well, it could be said that her situation with Akko wasn't progressing in the way she wanted.

Yes, they had constant moments where she truly felt they were something more, that maybe she was getting closer to the girl, but the reality was different, or so she perceived. Every time they reached such significant situations, Akko would immediately close up like a bank vault, and nothing and no one could get through to the other side.

It was so damn frustrating that sometimes when they were together, she didn't even know how to act or what to do, leading to a stress that, let's say, didn't put her in a good mood. However, Hannah England wouldn't give up because of this. That's why she had set her sights on doing something a bit more daring, but she had to do it the right way. She was aware that the ghosts of Diana were still haunting her, and she didn't want to make a mistake of that magnitude. She didn't want to lose someone like the Japanese girl, who probably already held her heart in her hands.

"Hannah," she heard someone call her while she was at her desk, where she had been for quite some time (longer than usual), doing a research homework for Professor Ursula.

"Yes?" she responded nonchalantly as she turned another page, which she was sure was too advanced to be relevant to the topic at hand.

"We need to talk." Upon hearing those magic words, she turned to look at the young witch who was speaking to her.

"Tell me, what do you need, Barbs?" she asked in a neutral tone, without any malice, waiting for her best friend to speak.

"I need you to talk to Diana." As soon as that name was mentioned, a frown formed on her face, and she quickly responded negatively, "Barbs, I'm not going to apologize to her, and you know very well why."

"Han, please, the atmosphere in the room is unbearable, and this is the last weekend together before the vacation. I really want to do something with you guys," pleaded the black-haired girl, trying to break through that pride she knew was sometimes even stronger than Diana's.

"Barbs, you have to understand me too. What Cavendish said really hurt me, and yes, I know I said some things that weren't right, but in this case, I'm not going to be the first one to back down," Hannah said resolutely.

"Han, please, at least try, for me, for our friendship. It hurts to see you like this, hic... hic..." Barbara pleaded again, now with some tears spilling from her eyes.

"Haaaaaaa," she sighed. How she hated seeing the people she cared about cry "Look, Barbs, it's really not easy for me, but at least I can promise you one thing. I'll try, but it all depends on her."

Upon finishing her promise, she saw Barbara's face light up, and nodding, she said, "T-thank you, Han," causing a twinge in her heart.

"And? What are you going to do this summer?" the green-eyed girl asked this time with curiosity, to which Hannah answered, "I don't know, probably go back home and take a little stroll around London or something like that."

"Ummm, and Akko?"

"Akko?" That question really caught her off guard.

"Why are you mentioning her so much now?" she asked, her expression showing how confused she was.

"Why would that be?" she responded, posing a question that caused Hannah to lose her composure.

"Barbs, I'm not joking."

"Welllll, what can I say, you two are always together, I thought you were going to do something with her during this vacation, I don't know," she said, raising her hands and winking at her, causing a blush on the face of the witch with the yellow ribbon.

"AAAAAAAAAA, I knew it, I knew it, you like her, right?" and the blush intensified, giving the answer she needed. "I can't believe it, really?" The girl was overwhelmed with excitement. "When and where, how, Wait a second, Diana no…, A..., Ah, now I understand everything..."

"That's why you fought with Diana, isn't it? Because of Akko." This time, instead of looking at her, Hannah turned her face away.

"So that's how it is, huh? Hehe, so what now? Are you going to confess to her or not?"

"What are you saying, Barbara!" She used the full name to emphasize the absurdity of the statement.

"Come on, Han, now that I know, it's obvious from miles away the kind of feelings you have for her," she said with a pout, continuing, "Besides, I hate to tell you this, but don't expect Akko to make the first move. You know firsthand what happened that day."

"I know, Barbs, I know. That's why I'm so confused and stressed. I want to do something, but I don't want to ruin it," she said, resigned, while looking at the ceiling in thought.

"And..? What do you think about inviting her out this weekend? It could be something simple, but nice, and I don't know, take her to the perfect setting," Barbara suggested with starry eyes.

"B-but, what about Diana?"

"Hannah, talking to Diana won't take all day, and don't worry about going out together, I'll figure it out."

"Alright, I'll do it. In fact, I'll look for her right now." And with her goal clear in mind, she got up and ran out of the room.

She stood in front of the room, which now seemed like her second bedroom, but this time the confidence and excitement that she always had had vanished. Not even a trace of it remained, and her nerves were at an all-time high.

Taking two firm steps and approaching the door, she raised her arm and knocked twice.

She immediately heard quick footsteps approaching, and when she heard the click of the door, she stood as straight as if she were planted there.

"Hannah?" The girl who had opened the door wasn't the one she was so eagerly expecting.

"Do you need Akko?" Lotte asked curiously, but she couldn't respond, or rather, the Finn didn't let her, as she immediately turned around and called for Akko, "Akko, Hannah's at the door."

The Japanese girl peeked around the corner of her bed, as her desk was obscured by it. She saw her smile and walk towards her direction. Immediately, her hands started to sweat and a few butterflies arose in her stomach.

"Hannah! Hi," she greeted, dressed in what appeared to be her pajamas, as classes had already ended for the day.

"H-hello," she managed to say in a whisper.

"Are you okay?" Akko asked, concerned.

And then, with the resolve she had left, she took her by the arm and said, "I need to talk to you, alone."

Lotte, who was still behind her friend, noticed and closed the door after the girl left.

"Hannah, what's wrong? Are you okay? Are you sick? Do you need help?" Akko was a sea of concern, and even though she found her beautiful as she was, she needed to get to the bottom of this quickly.

"God, if I get like this for a date, how will I be when I confess?" thought the brown-haired girl as she took a deep breath.

"N-no, Akko, I'm fine, just a little nervous," she said.

"If you say so, I believe you," the crimson-eyed girl responded before asking, "So, why do you need me?"

"And finally, the moment had come. She took one last deep breath and then said,"

"Akko, do you want to go out with me?"
