Veil of Mist ( Hogwarts AU with Big 5 / Jelsa )

14 The Warmth in Coldness

POV Hiccup

Toothless just dropped me in front of my cabin. It is nice that I have a dragon friend like that, I love the feeling to fly. As I opened my cabin door I saw a blonde girl going through my stuff. She took a sword to her hand, one that I am currently working on. “Careful!” I run to take the sword from her hand and she smiles me slightly, wiping away her hair strands from her face.

“Hey Hiccup,” she says to me and I blush. My hands shake when I place the sword on my kitchen table. I clear my throat, “Hi Astrid.” I glance at her quickly and she walks to sit on my couch. I gulped, “Y-you.. you shouldn’t be here because--.” Then she interrupted me, “Because you are a teacher? Seriously Hiccup.. I don’t think that North minds if you spent some time with people who are the same age as you.. even though when you’re a genius!” Astrid laughed and I shrug my shoulders. She might be right.

Then Astrid’s expression seems more serious. I wonder if it is about something that I said. “Uh?” I sounded as uncertain as I was. “We need to talk..about my friend, Elsa,” Astrid sighed and I sat next to her. “Like a friend to friend?” I whispered. “Yeah, throw away your teacher status for while,” Astrid petted my cheek which caused me to blush when blood run to my cheeks.

Astrid inhaled deeply and looked me into my eyes. “She is hurt--,” Astrid started but I gasped.”We need to take her to nurse!” I stood up but Astrid pulled me back. “No, her heart is,” Astrid sighed and I started to panic. “More of a reason to take her to nurse!” I stood up again but Astrid forced me to sit. “LISTEN!” Astrid snapped and I placed my hands on my lap and nodded.

“After coming back from Christmas holiday she has been depressed. I am worried, Anna told me that it has something to do with Jack Frost so,” Astrid gave me a questioning look. “So?” I said like trying to get her to continue. “Ask him to talk with her? Please?” Astrid squeezed my hand.

I sighed and nodded, “Sure I will.” I smiled to Astrid and suddenly she jumped on top of me and hugged me. “Thank you!” She whispered to my ear happily. Then our eyes met and without thinking I wrapped my arms around her and went closer to her. Closer. And closer.

Our lips met and I hold my breath. My first kiss, well.. with a girl at least if you don’t count the licking kisses that Toothless gives. He is a dragon. I muffle when I feel Astrids hand behind of my head, how her fingers dug in to my hair. She is kissing me back.

“Uh.. Hiccup, thanks for everything,” Astrid says while deeply blushing. She is leaving from my cabinet and I am smiling and nodding. Like an idiot. Get a grip Hiccup! “Uh.. yeah, no problem,” I whisper and wave my hand when she leaves.

“YES!” I yell and jump to lay on my couch, my hands go behind of my back and I close my eyes.

POV Jack

I am going to visit Hiccup, at the moment he is the only one besides uncle North and other teachers who speaks to me. Well, I haven’t even tried to speak with her or her friends. It can’t be helped, I have known it from the day when I met them.

Merida, she is a feisty one and excellent shooter – it doesn’t matter if it is her magic or not. She might not know that I know it. She is elemental, she is Antigravity. Elementals? Well, they are wizards or witches with special powers. They don’t need their wand to use them. Also they are a great power source for Spirits, for Winter Spirit the Ice Elemental is perfect to be around with. But for Earth Spirit, Merida is the one to be with.

Then there is Punzie, the healing element. She can heal, it differs with different healing elementals how their powers work. Sometimes it is the touch, sometimes singing. I don’t know which applies on her. Spirit of Spring would get some power up from Punzie since Spring helps nature to rebuild and wake up.
