^Jack^

We were sent back to our commons before we could find Elsa. It was the next day and we were all worried sick. We were about to go get breakfast when Rapunzel came in view, dragging Elsa behinds her.

"I got her!" Punzel shouted giddily, holding Elsa's wrist up in victory. Elsa was, let me be honest here was a mess. Her eyes were puffy, robes were wrinkled, her hair was put up in a hasty braided crown, and she was carrying ten pound bags under her eyelids.

"Is there a reason you're staring at me?" Elsa snapped at us, managing a death glare.

"N-nope!" Hiccup stuttered quickly turning away.

"Are ye okay Elsa?" Merida asked her, using her soft voice which I was surprised even existed. Bad Jack! You're not supposed to joke around when your friend looks like they cried themselves to sleep, if they slept at all!

"I'm fine." Elsa retorted briskly. "I'm getting breakfast."

She soon stalked of with Punzel trailing behind her, giving us apologetic looks.

"She was snappy." I commented and the others gave me looks of disbelief. "What? She was!"

"Jack, when someone left angrily after cryin last night, you don' call em rude things such as snappy." Merida explained shaking her head at me.

"Whatever, lets just go eat lunch." I told them.

We walked in and headed our separate ways, to our tables.  I grabbed five pancakes, three bacon pieces, three eggs, and four sausages.

"Jack, I bet you can't stuff all of that in your face!" My Slytherin friend Flynn challenged me.

"Bet I can!" I replied, accepting the challenge.

I started shoving it all in my face. The pancakes were gone in a minute. I carried on to the eggs and devoured them in seconds. I smirked victoriously at Flynn as I finished the bacon and sausage.

"Dude, How was that even possible?" Flynn asked me laughing, but I wasn't paying attention. The bell rang and I jumped out of my seat, and started hurrying to class. I found Hiccup and we both rushed to Defense Against Dark Art. We both sat down in a seat next to each other's. A minute later the bell rang and that ever, so annoying Australian accent was heard in the room.

"Open up your books to page 69." Professor Bunnymund, or as I like to call him Kangaroo instructed. His classes always seemed to drone on, and on, and on! I barely paid attention and class soon ended.

I ran off to Transfiguration as fast as I could. I peeked my head in to see that Elsa was already there. I went up and plopped into the seat next to her.

"Hey Jack." Elsa told me absentmindedly.

"Hey Elsa." I mimicked her soft, quiet voice and she glared at me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing! Why does everyone keep asking me that question? Let me tell you one last time, I'm fine." Elsa whisper yelled at me about to burst into tears.

"Elsa, I keep asking you that question because I know you're not fine. Please just tell me the answer!" I begged her and she turned away.

She was about to answer when Professor DunBroch walked in the room. I am seriously starting to hate the teachers here. She was about tell us something when Elsa raised her hand.

"Yes Elsa, what is it you have to say dear?" Professor DunBroch asked her.

"Can I go to the Hospital Wing, I'm not feeling good." Elsa told the professor.

"Of course." She told Elsa with her expression softening before continuing. "Jack, why don't you escort her their."

I nodded and picked up my bag. Elsa did the same and we headed out the door. We walked to the Hospital Wing in utter silence. When we arrived there Hiccup's mom immediately noticed us.

"What are you two doing here?" Valka asked us.

"Elsa wasn't feeling well, so our Professor had me walk with her here." I explained.

"Thank you, you can go now Jack." She told me.

I quietly left the room, but stopped at the door. I leaned my ear against it. I knew eavesdropping wasn't exactly tolerated, but I had to know what was going on with Elsa.

"Elsa, I know what happened." I heard Valka say. Knows what?

"You do?" Elsa asked her hesitantly.

"Yes I do. Your uncle got the same letter. I'm sorry you poor little thing. This shouldn't have happened to you, especially at this age." I peeked through the door to see hat Valka was hugging Elsa. She stood their speechless, until she began to wrap her arms around Valka and started to sob.

"Thank you, thank you for helping me." I heard Elsa cry.

With that I left back to my classroom, so I wouldn't look suspicious. I arrived there and sat down again, and Rapunzel was sitting next to Elsa's old seat.

"Punzel you wouldn't believe what I heard."
