Disney's Hogwarts

Chapter twenty-one: Library whispers

Jack:

"Are you sure you're ready for this, Tooth? This morning you said that we should wait some more!" I whispered through my teeth as I took her aside, Rapunzel walking in front of us, looking for the library. Tooth looked at me with hesitation.

"That is true, Jack. I said that. " she sighed.

"Well?!"

"Look -Jack- this girl, Rapunzel, she is the sweetest person I met in my entire life and I want her to know who we are! Maybe she finds out later and feels betrayed because we never told her."

"Wait wait! She is the sweetest person you ever met?"

"Listen Jack, we both need friends and you know it. And you know how nice it feels now Hiccup knows who you are! I love you, Jack, but dark times are coming and we need them. I sense it." Her eyes darkened and her cheeks turned a light pink, although I had no idea why.

"Dark times? Are things still bad with Pitch?" I asked her, hoping for an answer i knew I'd never get. She put a finger to her lips. "Later."

I nodded in understanding and we went back to walk next to Rapunzel. "I guess we're almost there!" She spoke in an excited voice and I rolled my eyes.

"What's that amazing about books?"

I probably shouldn't have said that, because both Tooth and Rapunzel looked at me with shocked eyes, the first one even slapping me on my arm.

"Jack Frost you don't say that!" Tooth laughed and shook her head. "Poor books!"

I shrugged and followed the girls into the library, which we finally found, and sat down in one of the circular benches. While I got my books out, they chatted a bit about the past day and I got the chance to think about them.

Tooth and Rapunzel looked very different on the first sight. Tooth was a small girl with a tanned skin and short hair that was mostly black, but sometimes sparks of colors came peeping out those locks. Rapunzel, however, was medium-built with a light skin and hair that... By the Moon! How long was this blonde braid for real?! Even if she wore it in a braid, her hair came down to her feet!

Though, if I saw them sitting opposite of me, I could see many simularities. They were both optimistic and way too excited about the same things. And although they've met only yesterday, it looked like they were friends for a long time.

Rapunzel saw me looking at them and smiled at me. Nervously, she tucked away a strand of hair. "Sooooo, Jack... Where are you from?"

Rapunzel:

Jack looked at Tooth awkwardly. "Yeah, about that..." Silence.

"Oh! You guys are from the same place right?! You don't have to tell me, Jack! I completely understand."

No I didn't.

Jack laughed. "No you don't." He looked at Tooth again and she explained it to me:

"Uhm, Rapunzel, it's quite a complicated story, so we are not sure how to explain it..."

"Oh but that's not bad! I can tell you my story first." And I told them everything. How I lived in a tower whole my life and how I discovered Gothel was not my real mother. Sometimes, Jack and Tooth would gasp and Tooth even got tears in her eyes when I told them about how McGonnagal showed up and rescued me.

"Goodness, Rapunzel! That's awful."

I shrugged. "Maybe it was. But I don't care anymore, because I found my family and now I'm here with you guys! And to be honest, it's the happiest I've felt in a long time!"

Jack broke into a gorgeous smile and Tooth hugged me tightly. "I'm so glad we're friends, Punzie!" She whispered.

"I am too, Tooth!"

Once we were all calmed down again, Jack took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

"Okay, listen Rapunzel. We decided to tell you this because you already became quite close with Tooth, and I somehow came to see you as a friend as well. You must know this about us, and I really hope you won't think any different about us afterwards."

I took a deep breath. Apparently, this was a big deal and they were about to reveal a secret to me. I felt honoured.

"If you're sure to tell me."

He looked at Tooth, who nodded and smiled at me. "We are!"

Jack started telling me where they came from, sometimes filled in with Tooth's side of the story. As he told on, my eyes widened.

"That's why nobody can see me at first, and that is the world we are from. Me basically living everywhere throwing snowballs and Tooth helping her parents in the Tooth Palace."

I slightly toutched my teeth. So that's where...

"Okay, but-" I said to Jack "if you can make it snow everywhere, can you do it here as well?"

He grinned and tapped on our table with his staff, which he now carried everywhere he went. Just like that, snowballs appeared and when I touched them, they were freezing cold to my fingers.

"Holy cricket! This is supercool Jack!" I exclaimed, thinking about how I never truely touched snow, as it normally melted right away. Now I'm free and living with my parents, I thought I'd finally get to touch snow this winter!

We all were quiet for a while, until Tooth sighed. "Well I'm glad that's out of my system now!" And we laughed.
Tooth and Jack got their quills ready and I told them I was going to find us a book to help us studying.

As I walked down along the long rows of bookshelves, I trailed my fingers over the back of the books, thinking about telling them about my hair.

Should I tell them? They trusted me with this information and I'm so glad they did... but somewhere, I couldn't find the strength to tell them. After all, my whole life I was brainwashed with the idea of mean people wanting to take my hair. Eventually Gothel did. What if there is another Gothel out there, trying to kidnap me as soon as she found put about me?
No.
My hair must be kept a secret.

I was probably going to regret it, but when the time comes, they will know.

That, I was sure of.

A/N:

Hey guys!
Thanks again for reading my story!!! (Love you so much)

To be clear about this chapter, Rapunzel hasn't told them about her magical hair yet, but also Jack hasn't told her that he is dead/immortal/ a spirit (or whatever you call it)...
We will see what their reactions will be when they found out...

Next chapter: Charms class with Hiccup and Jack! How on earth is that going to be safe?

Love, Hufflepuffy_Disney 💙
