POV Elsa

First day at school after summer holiday had ended. After the train to Hogwarts had arrived to end station we were guided to flying carriages. I could see the creatures, flying horses that could have been from a nightmare with their skeleton figures and black leathered wings. No one else could see them as I had noticed during the previous years. My final year has just started in the school of magic, year seven.

“These flying carriages are as awesome as ever!” Anna said in excited way as she looked out from the window. She sat beside me and was smiling widely. If she only would know. We look at the door when we feel the carriage going a bit down when someone steps in. It is him.

He glares at me when he throws his black cape from his way before he sits next to me. His dark brown eyes were looking at me in a blank way for just a moment, making me feel chills on my spine. Jack Frost. His name is Jack Frost, the guy who always ignores everyone and does things alone. His longish brown hair is sticking to every direction and looking as messy as before. He leans his chin against his hand and stares to nothingness.

I hear a horse making a  . sound which startled me, it was another carriage passing us. “Thestrals,” Jack suddenly said. “W-what?” I whisper. “Those are thestrals,” he looks outside. “You can see them too?” I whisper to him but he just hummed. I saw how he was moving his magical wand between his fingers like someone would play with a coin, it was an odd wand since its end formed a ‘G’.

The carriage started to move, it flew in the air towards our school. It was a place of magic where we would learn to use our magical powers for good deeds. Some of us had more power than others, special ones but our principal mr. North was kind and appreciated every talent. He also could be rather scary if someone went too far.

“What was that about?” Anna whispered when we step outside from the carriage and were far enough for Frost to hear us. “H-he.. I don’t know,” I watch Jack’s back and see how he throws his bag over his shoulder. As cocky as ever. “What did you guys see?” Anna pulls my sleeve. “Nothing!” I smile to my 16 year old sister.

Our school was an old castle, made from stones and it had multiple towers. Each house was located in a different tower. My sister lived in other one since we were not in the same houses. Actually I don’t know where the other houses are in the castle since it was a maze which was protected by magic. Even the stairs could move places.

I had just had my 17th birthday party before school started again. There was just me and my sister in our mansion. We were purebloods and from a rich family, or at least we had a family. They died years ago when they were protecting the wizard world from he-who-must-not-be-named.

Everyone was rushing inside for the house organizing ceremony. It was exciting to see who goes to what house this year. My sister belonged to Gryffindor, the house known for bravery. Anna went to sit with Merida of DunBroch who was 16 years old and a dear friend to both of us. She was always doing boyish acts and her hair was really big and curly with bright red shade. “Hey! Elsa Arendelle!” I wave my hand to Rapunzel Corona who just yelled to me. She has been my friend from the day I got chosen to my house even though she went to Hufflepuff where her hard worker side gets to shine.

I watch as a boy gets the sorting hat over his head. I still remember how it felt like. How I had to convince the hat that Ravenclaw is my place, I am not brave enough for Gryffindor as the sorting hat tried to convince me. I am more of a bookworm and Ravenclaws values of intelligence and learning suited for me. Then my eyes see Jack Frost sitting on the Slytherins table.

 A new memory rushes in my mind. Just when the sorting hat yelled my house of Ravenclaw and I left to get seated on my new table Jack walked past me. He hit me with his elbow during the way. “Tch, Ravenclaw,” he half whispered and hissed when he passed me. Before the sorting hat was placed good enough to his head it yelled that he would be a slytherin. In slow motion I notice how Jack’s eyes turn to watch me directly into my eyes. He noticed my staring and I turn my head away.

My house master was called mr. Sandman who we call Sandy. He was a nice small chubby man even though he was mute. Funny at least. He leads us to our dorms, this year it was again in a different place. When everyone else was sleeping I was still rolling in my bed. “Thestrals he said,” I whisper and I rise up. Maybe the library knows more about those creatures?

I sneak out from the dorm, wearing just my long night gown in shade of light blue. I lift my long and narrow wand up. It is transparent, almost looking like ice spike. “Lumos,” I said and the end of my wand showed a bright light that guided me through corridors. I hid myself every time when I heard some steps. Finally I got myself to library. “Accio magical creatures book,” I said and few books fly towards me. I used a spell to get the objects I need flying to me.

Quickly I search through the books and from the last one I find a small chapter about these creatures. I read it “A breed of winged horses, a thestral. It has a skeletal body and narrow reptilian like face. Creatures wings are like bat’s, spreading wide and having leathery texture. They can be domesticated for using as transport. However the breed is rare and only the ones who have witnessed death in some ways can see them.” I felt speechless after reading the end. Only the people who have somehow witnessed death? That must mean that Jack also has? Like I have? A memory of my parents being tortured to death in front of me rushes to my mind and I swallow the lumpy feeling.

When I was about to go back to my dorms I see a character moving in the shadows. It seems odd in my mind and I decide to follow it to outside. I am hiding while I tail him. I ran behind of a tree when I see the character turning around. He is wearing a long cape and hiding his head with a hood. The moonlight gives away his cover and I notice it being Jack. This seems interesting.

He runs to a cabin near the forbidden forest. He knocks the door and I see Hiccup Haddock opening the door. Hiccup laughs and his hair looks a lot like Jack’s does, overgrown and brown but he has green eyes. They go inside. Jack pulls the hood away and they sit down, drinking tea. Oh what would I give from a cup of tea? The night is so damp and I am only dressed in a freaking night gown.

The next thing I saw almost scarred me for life. Not the fact that squib Hiccup, the one born into wizard family without magic power, was laughing but the fact that I saw Jack laughing with him. That cold hearted bastard was enjoying himself, laughing and having a blast. That brick who mocks me in every lesson that Ravenclaw does with Slytherin. His whole body is shaking when he laughs, he wipes tears from his eyes. What is so funny?

Next I found myself diving into a bush. Hiccup came to open the window. “And you did what after changing the frog saliva into elves spit? What happened?” Hiccup laughed to Jack who was holding his stomach. “Well the whole potion exploded on her!” Jack laughed and I felt like boiling up. He did that last year, ruined my potion and my school uniform.

“I need to go back,” Jack said suddenly and the chair rubbed against the floor. He came outside when Hiccup closed the window. I heard Jack walking and suddenly the steps stopped. “I know you’re out there,” he said with his normal cold voice. Please god, make him go away.

“Wingardium Leviosa,” I heard him saying. Oh no. I felt how my body started to raise and move towards him. He used the spell that levitates objects. He made me land on my feet. “Well hello there miss Elsa Arendelle,” he glared at me, “Spying, huh?” He smirked to me for the first time ever, “And in a night gown?”

My cheeks blushed and I blasted him against a nearby tree with my power. It was my secret power that lurked inside of me, bursting out when I cannot control my emotions. I ran back to castle and I hear him laughing somewhere in the distance. What is wrong with that guy?
