(Up For Adoption)The Big Five and the Snowflake that Fell

Chapter Thirty-two

*third person*

It has been five days since the attack. Whispers and rumours about her sudden disappearance were weighing buzzing within the entire school.

"I heard she was expelled for selling illegal drugs!"
"Candy isn't illegal Trisha,"
"Come on! She obviously was sent to detention, people that quiet are always hiding something,"
"Well, my father said she probably just has a cold, think reasonably here people!"
"Maybe she helped out uh- well, you know who."

Three words was all it took to quiet the houses down to where you could hear the drop of a pin- no - a touch of a feather. Also, three words to really piss off a group of  four. 

"Oh that's real bright coming from you!"
"Piss off!"
"

Why when I get me hands on you, oh-oh oh! You'll be sorry you pile of-!"
" MERIDA! "
"-bullcrap!"
"ENOUGH!!! Sit down this instant! And someone please get me a towel."

Again silence filled the air as a Slytherin rushed to fetch Professor North a towel, who's drink was knocked all over him during the commotion. The only thing that seemed to be heard was Professor North's glare. He was so mad that if a pin dropped, it would immediately shatter into a thousand pieces from his anger.

Sound seemed stay stuck in nothing until the Slytherin returned. Click clack, click clack, click clack, all the way down the hall. She hurriedly gave the headmaster the role before racing to her seat, clearly embarrassed.

"Now I will make this clear now. Do not spread anymore of your lies. Yes, Ms. Arendelle has not been attending classes recently. But she has also not been helping dark lords, Ms. Hofferson, please do not spread this rumour without any facts." Professor Moon bellowed, gazing disappointingly at the student. "Ms. Arendelle is simply sick and recovering in the Nurse's Wing. I do not think she would appreciate lies being tossed around. Now, I think it's time for everyone to return to their commons."

And with that final note, he clapped his hands with a large booming sound, the food disappeared with a few groans of annoyance. Everyone was ushered off to their commons until only a small group was left. They walked up towards the teacher's table, gently nudging each other.

The headmaster didn't seem to notice until Professor North let out a little cough. He angled his eyebrows at the group, nudged the headmaster, and made opening and closing motions with his hands. The headmaster looked up with a sigh, used to North's uncommon way of getting his attention.

"Shouldn't you four be returning to your commons?"
"Yeah, but we were just wondering, uh- when can we visit Elsa?"

"Soon."

Soon!?! Soon!?! That, was his only reply! It's like a conversation in a hospital where the doctor like, 'Oh hey! You've just been involved in a massive accident!'. Then you ask, 'Well when do you think I'll be okay?!?'. And, 'Oh I don't know, soon?', Is their response! Oh how reassuring that was! I don't feeling any stress at all! (A/N something like this actually happened to me. I grew an extra bone in my leg and my doctor actually said and I quote "I don't think it's bone cancer." Well obviously you kinda do! I mean if you don't think I have it, then why did you even mention that! Seriously! ) Obviously they got upset. And sent away to their commons.

"What kind of answer is soon!" Jack yelled throwing his hand out in front of him as if trying to his friends, angrily, his favorite new toy. "Imagine your mom was dying, you ask when you can see her, and the doctors say 'I don't know, soon.' Ugh!"

"Maybe he had a good reason?" Rapunzel suggested. She knew it wouldn't calm them down, Hiccup did too, but it was worth a shot.

"Are ya blind Punzie! There's no good reason to deny a visit from friends. What does he think we would do, kill her!" Merida added, growing more and more exasperated by the second. What rights did he have to stop them from helping Elsa? None! "We ought to visit her tonight!"

"I agree!"

"He'll expect that! He's probably already making sure that we won't be able to visit her tonight. And let's say we do what you want to do and get caught? Huh! Then we definitely won't see her today or tomorrow. Let's listen to what he says and maybe we can try tomorrow." Hiccup spoke. Merida and Jack were being reckless. Whether they liked it or not, this was the only logical option and they had to understand that. "Understood?"

"Understood."

With that they parted. Each knew that they only wanted to help Elsa, but fear was a very powerful thing. Fear of getting caught, fear of growing old, even fear of themselves could be a very deadly thing. Because in every shadow of every room of every place, the Boogeyman watched.

He'd watch and watch until he was sure he had control. And then disaster would strike, for one can only fear for so long before the truly unfortunate happen.

Then, there is almost no return for those that reached its house. The Boogeyman would silently snatch you away until there was no escape from the real monster. Yourselves...
