-Bow before the winner Quentin! - Heather mocked as the group stepped inside the Great Hall.

Max rolls his eyes and bows - I’m starting to enjoy it..pitty you are free of it in a few days. - Hela laughs gesturing for him to get up.

-Thank you your highness. - Max played it off.

-Uhh I like it.. - Hela says scaring Max who was just trying to make his friends laugh about it. - Relax Max I’m kidding.

-Thank Merlin I didn’t want to keep with the act. - He walked side by side with Heather behind Hela and Felicity.

-Hela? - Felicity whispered.

-Yeah?

-You know I love being here right?

-Yeah Felicity what is it?

-It´s just…I miss home so much..

-Felicity that’s totally normal, you haven’t seen your family in months. 

-But Hogwarts is my house as well..

Hela held Felicity´s hand making sure the others walked past them. - Dear, I get it, you love Hogwarts probably more than any other student here.. - she smiled - but home is home and eventhough we support each other here, family is family.

The Gryffindor smiled and hugged Hela - Thanks Hel! - she walked towards her table.

-What´s with Forrest? - Heather asked Hela once she got to Slytherin´s table.

-She´s homesick.

-That sensitive girl..-Heather tried to play it cool.

-Hey Westwood? - Hela tried to copy her friend´s habit to call them by the last name.

-What?- she turned after biting her sandwich.

-What´s your thing with Felicity?

-Wh-I don’t have a thing with Forrest..

-Fine if you say so…

Heather hide her face in her sweatshirt.

-I knew it! - Hela laughed.

-Shut uuuuuup! - Heather protested leaning against Hela´s shoulder.

-When I was starting to think you were a cold and emotionless b*tch. - Hela mocked.

-That was the point…

-I know but you never fooled me.

-I hate you so muuuuuuch!

-There there…come here.

Heather protested but eventually accepted Hela´s hug.

-Please just don’t say anything. - she begged.

-I won’t but you’ll have to.

-Yeah not gonna happen!

-It will in it´s own time…-Hela played a misterious feature.

-What do you mean by that? - Heather became paranoid in a matter of seconds and that made Hela laugh.

-Come on finish your meal.

-Now I’m not hungry. I mean first you start questioning me, then you put me all nervous and now you want me to play cool? The hell I am.

Hela changed the subject and shortly after that they were engulfed in a conversation that involved almost one third of the table.

Like Felicity Hela loved Hogwarts but she too missed her room, the way her cat cuddled with her at night and the way her mother caressed her hair after a long day.

Hela realized Felicity wasn’t the only one homesick.
