A Predicted Bond

Detention: Week 1

JACK

Jack panted, dragging his broomstick behind. He needed water real bad, and for someone cool like him (literally) he seemed to be sweating hard. Jack sure will tell her mother and sister about this, they'd be happy for him as well. Although, he gets naughty during flying and froze the broomstick of one of the twins. In spite of his weariness, he couldn't take Elsa off of his mind. After all the weeks he's been trying to have a decent conversation with Elsa, he finally gets to, not only that, he also gets to hang out with her!

He was surprised how wise and how calm Elsa took it well. She was smart enough to think they were rushing if they went on a date, they barely knew each other. She is from Ravenclaw after all. He suddenly felt bad for Rapunzel, he was kinda rude to her earlier. Wonder how'd she'd take that.

"Leave me alone," Jack heard someone say from a block behind. Curios as he is, he followed the sound.

A boy scoffed, "You think those 3 words would actually make us leave you alone? You have to do better than that, princess."

Jack peaked by the wall to take a look of what's happening. By the end of the hallway are the Stabbington brothers that Jack knew from Slytherin and Rapunzel. She has her back facing his way while the brothers are in front of her blocking her path.

"What do you want from me?"

They snickered, "You know what we want...We want your hair."

"Why, have trouble growing back yours? It looks quite enough to me," Jack almost laughed at Rapunzel's retort, but he had to hold it back or else they would find him. Patchy charged at her but Sideburns stopped him, "Why you—", "Easy, brother..."

"There's something special about your hair, princess. They say it's magical." Magical? How can hair be magical?

"Look, I have other more important matters to attend to...so if you don't mind, let me through." Rapunzel tried to push herself through between the brothers, but they were too strong to hold her back and push her on the ground.

Next thing he knew, he was standing right in front of them, "Hey! Leave her alone! I mean it!" Jack yelled. He had his wand ready and he swore he felt himself shaking. He had never stood up for anyone before so this is off the bucket list.

"Frost...you do know who you're standing up against, don't you?"

"Yeah, two big guys from Slytherin are hurting my friend here..." he looked back at Rapunzel who was still on the ground rubbing her arm, "or so maybe I think she's my friend."

"You said it yourself, Frost. From Slytherin, from YOUR house. Are you forgetting where your loyalties lie?"

"You want to talk about loyalty? Alright, how about leaving your friend, Flynn behind after all you guys have been through?" Jack himself didn't even know what happened among the 3 of them, but he did know they were friends, really good friends and now they just grew hating one another. How did he know this? Snotlout.

"That is none of your business, you don't know anything! Now get out of the way!" He pushed Jack against the wall, pinning him with one arm as Patchy proceeded walking towards Rapunzel with a pair of scissors in his hand.

"No!"

"Ugh! That scabby old winter man!"

"Take it easy, Mer."

"I cannot take it easy, Hic!
