If Only You Knew (Gryfferin Au)

-Fire against flame-

  "Woooohooooo" she heard Helga scream as she was jumping up and down to the band's song.

Rowena smiled after hearing the excitement in Helga's voice and got back to dancing with her crush, Nikos. Judging from the wide smile on his face, Nikos seemed to have a pretty good time as well.

As the music got louder, more lights were switched off and the dance floor was getting more crowded with young couples.

"They all look very adorable, specially the gay ones. The fact that they're so shy is so sweet." Rowena said, as she got closer to Nikos and wrapped her arms around his neck, preparing herself to dance to the slow song that was coming up. 

"Yeah?" Nikos asked as he placed his arms around Rowena's waist. Rowena looked straight into Nikos's green eyes and adored how his short blond hair was now curly from dancing so much.

She blushed after their stare deepened and looked away. Her eyes accidentally fell on Helga, who was dancing with Rick.

  Rowena was happy for her friend until she noticed something. Her smile faded away and she unwrapped her arms. Nikos frowened. "Is... Are you okay?"

Rowena's face was pale. She slowly started pushing Nikos away and walked towards Helga.

Rick was... changing. He didn't look like a young boy anymore. He was taller and that wasn't the scariest part. His red hair was slowly turning into black and was getting longer.

Oh no! Who else matched the description other than... Rowena gasped as she brainstormed everything she was looking at.

"How can you not notice that Helga?" Rowena asked herself as she watched her friend. Helga's head was down. She was too shy to look directly into his eyes and her hands were inside of his.

  Rowena couldn't hear anything anymore as she was walking. As if she had gone deaf. She couldn't hear the sound of romantic music being played, or Nikos yelling out her name to get her attention. She was pushing past the crowd to get to Helga.

                       *Meanwhile*

  "There you go. Did you have fun?" Salazar asked Godric as he sat his friend on his bed. Godric nodded with a smile.

"It would have been way more fun if i had anyone to dance with me. I was looking forward to this. I really was. But hey! Who cares about a couple dance when you get to listen to your friends dance and hear their excitment and be with them until their partners arrive... Ugh! Forget it." Godric answered while playing with his fingers.

Salazar felt his heart break as he listened to his friend talk. He frowened instantly as he saw that Godric tried to go to sleep and forget about it all. But he had an idea.

"You know we can still hear the music from up here. And the dormitory is empty." Salazar told his friend.

"Yeah. I know. Ironically, it's way too quiet and way too loud. It'll be hard to sleep. At least I hope the girls are having fun." Godric replied.

"Well maybe if i told you that we can dance and we can just really never talk about it and we can never tell that to anyone and we can never-" Godric let out a laugh and got up.

"I can tell that it makes you uncomfortable to even try to talk about it. I understand that you want to make me happy but, i wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable." Godric said. Salazar shook his head, even though he knew his friend couldn't see his reaction.

"Just... Just get up. Look, you know it better than anyone else that i can't ask people to do anything. C'mon. I hate asking. Just get up." Salazar said.
