If Only You Knew (Gryfferin Au)

-The win-

"Professor... What's going on?" Helga asked when they were teleported back to Worluck.

"I was standing there watching when i saw three more shadows appear as soon as you locked Aragon in your cup." Caron answered.

Helga looked down at the cup she was holding and frowened. "At least give me a pat on the shoulder you wet blanket." she thought to herself.

Caron suddenly burst into laughter and it made Helga jump up.

"Everyone calls me that. Sorry. All i had on my mind was protecting you so i forgot about it." He said, still laughing.

Helga blushed pure red immediately.

"Good job Miss Hufflepuff. You made me proud. Let's head to bed. It's pretty late and you're tired. I'll make sure that when you wake up, you're known as one of the best witches of all time, trust me." Caron continued while patting her shoulder and smiling.

They both said their goodbyes and went to bed.

Professor Caron was right. It was pretty late. But it didn't stop Helga from knocking on Aurora's door.

She walked towards the garden and Aurora was sitting on her wooden bench outside her house, waiting for Helga.

"My dear Helga. I've never been this proud of you. You defeated Aragon. One of the ones that all fears." she said with a wide smile, flying towards Helga.

"I did it! I can't believe i did it!" Helga said, hugging Aurora.

As Helga was about to open her mouth, Aurora placed her pointer finger on it. "Go to bed. We'll talk tomorrow."
Helga rolled her eyes and hugged her for one last time, then doing as she was told.

*The next morning*

"HELGAAAAA" Rowena screamed, jumping on her friend which made Helga open her eyes immediately.

"H-Hey..." she said with a cracked voice.

"Why didn't you wake me up when you got here? Are you okay?" Rowena asked. But when Helga was about to answer, they heard a knock on the door.

"Miss Hufflepuff, Miss Ravenclaw, you are to be seen in the Headmaster's room immediately." It was Miss Gramilda.

"I'm coming Miss." Helga said. Then she looked at Rowena who was basically on top of her and they both laughed loudly.

After getting dressed and brushing her teeth, Helga was standing infront of her mirror with Rowena.

"Why are Slazar and Godric so cold towards one another?" Helga asked while brushing her hair.

"I have no idea. It feels odd to see them like this. They've always been so close and now, Salazar is not treating Godric right." Rowena answered.

"Do you think we should do something about it?" Helga asked. Rowena shook her head.

"I don't think we should. No matter how hurt we are i didn't think that's the wisest thing to do. You know what Shakespeare said-" as soon as she was about to continue, Helga started pushing her out of their room.

"Maybe the reason why Salazar is being rude is because you quote Muggles way too much around him." Helga joked and they both went to see Cadarota.

The narrow corridor was way more crowded in mornings. And everyone was smiling at Helga or even greeting her. The sudden attention felt weird to her.

Finally, they got to Cadarota's office.

*Knock knock*

"Come on in." They heard Cadarota say. They opened the door and all the proffesors were standing infrotnt of them. Salazar and Godric were there too.
