"What's wrong?"

"Ella, I just don't know what I did wrong." Johannah sobbed into her hands. She had called Ella and they were talking on the front porch of the house.

"What are you talking about JoJo?" Ella rubbed Johannahs head as she tried to calm down.

"I don't understand how Harry has feelings for Louis. This is the last thing I wanted."

"You can't blame Harry."

"I don't blame him." Johannah sighed. "I just don't want anything happening to my boys. They're just kids, El."

"Why don't I try talking to them?" Ella suggested.

"What are you going to say?"

"I don't know but I'll figure it out." Ella smiled and Johannah nodded. She stood up and opened the door for Ella and Ella thanked her.

Ella flew in and looked around and smiled. She had something to tell everyone but she'd wait until later. She flew towards the living room and saw Louis sitting on the couch, sniffling with Harry who sat in Louis' hands.

"Hey guys." She said quietly, to not startle them but loud enough for them to hear. They both turned around and screamed in excitement.

"Ella!" Louis screamed as he ran to her. She flew down to his level and smiled widely.

"Ella!" Harry yelled once he reached them.

"You've both gotten so big!" She laughed and rustled Louis' hair and gave Harry a hug. "Harry, wow, look at all your flowers!"

"I have a lot now." Harry blushed and poked at the flowers growing from his hair. "I have powers too."

"Do you?" Ella smiled.

"He can teleport!" Louis nodded and put out his hands. "And then boom! We're in another place!"

"Really?" Ella was shocked and amazed as she looked at Harry who continued to blush and nod his head shyly. "That's incredible Harry!"

"Thank you Ella."

"What are you doing here?" Louis asked with excitement.

"What? You don't want me here?" Ella teased. The boys didn't seem to get the joke.

"No! I mean yes! But no, that's not what I meant! We do want you here!" Louis rambled.

"I know hun." Ella laughed. "I was only teasing. Why don't we sit down?"

Louis and Harry looked at each other with a knowing look but obeyed and went to sit on the couch.

"Is this about Harry?" Louis said as he pulled Harry closer to him.

"Yeah. I just want to understand—"

"I like Louis. Mum doesn't like that. Me and Lou are scared because well, we can't like each other. That's not allowed."

"Of course, I get it. I just want to know, how did this happen?"

Louis looked at Harry who was already thinking about it.

"I don't know." Harry said honestly. "It just happened."

Ella looked at Harry, then at Louis and waited for Louis' response.
