If Only You Knew (Gryfferin Au)

-Fire meets flame again-

  'A month and a few days had passed already. But it felt like only a few days. As if we had began training just a week ago.

Speaking of which, the training had been rough but fun at the same time.

The fact that Godric had got his vision back and I was feeling stronger and better about my powers was like the icing on the cake. Besides, Proffesor Caron was the best teacher one could ever ask for.

He was funny, strict, ambitious and proper. He also took good care of his appearance which ment a new set of clothes could be seen on him every once a couple days.'

Helga's thoughts were interrupted by a voice. "Hello there Miss Hufflepuff. Where are your friends? Why are you sitting alone?" She raised her head up and saw that it was Professor Caron.

He had his hands behind him and he was smiling down at Helga. "Oh hi there Professor. I was just... Eating." The man smiled at Helga's answer and said "That did not asnwer even one of my questions." and sat down next to her.

"Tell me. What's going on? What were you thinking about that deeply?" Professor Caron asked.

"It's just that... I feel like we are slowly separating. Specially Godric and Salazar. Rowena and I are doing fine i guess." She said, twisting some parts of her sandwich's bread.

"Yea i can see that. I felt the same way when Salazar and Godric were practicing spells and dueling the other day. I think that Salazar is the one causing the intensity." Professor Caron agreed, rubbing his chin.

          *Flashback to their dual*

  "Very well everyone. Great job. Now, you girls go ahead and practice together and boys, over there please. And after that, you'll switch partners." Proffesor Caron said. His deep voice was enough to make anyone obey.

"Good Luck." Rowena said as she stood infront of Helga and it made her smile.

But on the other hand, Salazar very coldly stood infront of Godric and aimed his wand, casting spells on his friend without any warnings.

Godric wasnt very happy with what was happening so he decided to play rough too.

The dueling went on for a few more minutes and the girls looked like they were actually trying and learning whereas the boys looked like they just wanted to beat each other up and this was their chance to do so.

"Ok that's enough. Well done. Now switch partners please." Professor Caron said, trying to hide how concerned he was.

                *Back to present*

  "There's no time to think about that. Are ready, Helga?" Professor Caron asked.

Helga sighed and said "I am, Professor. I won't let myself down. And i won't let any of you down." Helga's words made Caron smile.

"Then go get ready. It's not going to be a walk in the park." Caron said.
"Nobody said it was gonna be." Helga said with a smirk.

Helga then got up and went towards the main area. Since it was a free period, most students were hanging out and as usual, the Gerson brothers were dueling on the table.

Helga's eyes finally caught Rowena. She was sitting on one of the chairs and reading a book. Helga smiled and rushed towards her.

"Hey!" Helga said. "Hey." Rowena answered, still reading her book. Helga's smile faded and she decided to sit next to Rowena... Quietly.

  She was looking around aimlessly, suddenly, her eyes caught the two brothers dueling on the table for a second time and she got mad.

"Ugh! For Merlin's sake get off that table! We put our friggin plates on there and eat. Don't get up on there with your bloody shoes! It's disgusting." Helga yelled.
