Author's note: Next post!

Coral stopped at the door and reached out for the handle. Facilier stopped next to her and placed a hand on the middle of her back.
"What's wrong Coral?"
"If I go in there..." She began "everything will be the way it was." She bit her lip and closed her eyes, Facilier frowned a little before raising his other hand, he closed his palm and blew dust forward, showing the inside of the canteen to Coral.
"If he's in there you don't have to go in." Facilier said quietly by Coral's ear, she shuddered and continued to watch as the dust formed pictures of the students currently in the dining hall. She waited for a moment however the tall, dark and pompous man never appeared.
"Alright." She said firmly, and placed her hands on both of the doors, she lowered the handles and pushed them open. "Let's go."

The hall fell silent, Coral could hear the tension as every eye in the room was upon her. She felt her face flush red.
"Coral! Over here!" called Vanessa. The hall watched Coral squeeze past chairs and tables over to her four disciples, plus Hans.
"Hey there, we were just about to go get food..." said Anastasia sheepishly. "Wanna join us?"
"Yes, I'm starved." Replied Coral. "Where did he disappear off to?" Thought Coral when she noticed Facilier was no longer behind her. The five, plus Hans stood up and headed towards the dinner lady as the other students and teachers watched as the young Pirate adjusted to her surroundings. Coral flicked her hair over her shoulder and she looked around and saw that everyone had gone back to gossiping in their groups.
"Coral! You have no idea how much we missed you." Vanessa said clinging to the other girl's arm. Hans sighed and picked up Coral's tray for her, Coral gave him a smirk and let him collect the food for her as many of the villains came to her welcoming her back from her stay at the medical unit.
"Don't you get tired of clinging to Coral?" Facilier asked as he suddenly appeared behind the group, Vanessa scowled over at him as Coral gave him a blank stare.
"No one asked you creepy."

Jane sipped her drink trying to stare away from the pirate who had entered the dining hall. The room was filled with quiet chatter and whispering as the Queen of Darkness returned.
"When was she released from the medical unit?" John Smith asked leaning back against his seat craning his head to stare at the brunette. Tarzan didn't say anything as the rest of the school were more interested in Coral's return.
"She was let out earlier today..." Pocahontas muttered poking her food.
"Everybody was told during lessons. It was the biggest news we've had all month." Jane added taking her hat off her head, John Smith shrugged.
"Guess I wasn't paying attention to what that girl gets up to."
Pocahontas rolled her eyes and glanced over at the middle of the room where Coral was surrounded by villains.
"Helga... will be ten times worse than before."
"Yeah..." 

Megara walked past the group in the center of the room and hurried to her seat sliding in next to Hercules.
"Coral Hook is back." Tiana stated as the purplette joined them, Megara raised an eyebrow then pointed her fork towards the frog Princess.
"What gave it away? The crowd in the middle of the hall?"
Tiana gave a scowl as the rest of the table laughed, she turned to Naveen.
"You find her funny too?"
Naveen blushed slightly and grinned widely before placing his thumb and finger together
"A tiny bit funny." They all turned their heads back to the pirate as she began walking through the crowd towards the food.
"She looks paler." Tooth commented, Shang turned his attention to the fairy.
"So?"
"I mean, is she definitely better?" Tooth whispered never taking her eyes off the other girl. Megara frowned and exchanged glances with Mulan.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her?" Mulan asked, Tooth shook her head and turned to Mulan, trying to swallow back the fear in her throat.
"No! No, of course not. Why would I? She isn't scary." Tooth laughed uncomfortably, before turning her attention back to Coral, the tears welled in her eyes before she closed them tightly and turned back to the others joining in their conversation about their English lesson.

Jasmine and Aladdin were still in shock as they continued to stare at the brunette who had passed them to get some food.
"She doesn't look so good." Phoebus mumbled as he dragged the two codfishes away, "almost drained or she saw a ghost."
"Will you guys stop drawing attention to yourselves?" Esmeralda asked as Phoebus pushed Jasmine and Aladdin to their seats.
"Yeah but! She's back!" Aladdin yelled, Esmeralda raised an eyebrow and placed a finger to her lips silencing the young street kid.
"Sorry."
"Has Ariel seen her yet?" Jasmine said quietly fiddling with her apple in her hands, Phoebus shook his head.
"I don't think I've seen Ariel or Eric come in yet?"
"I don't blame the poor girl, Aurora said some awful things to her." Jasmine whispered looking up towards Aurora, Belle, Cinderella and Snow White.
"Come to think of it Jasmine, you haven't been hanging around with them much either." Esmeralda took a bite of her sandwich.
"I know... they definitely have been acting weird. I wanted to stay away." Jasmine sighed sadly, Aladdin placed his hand on top of hers.
"Don't worry I'm sure things will get back to normal."
"Yeah another normal day at Disney Academy... that's never happened."

The bell rang loudly and everyone waited for announcements from King Mickey however Mickey never appeared. The students glanced over at Coral, she slowly lowered her head from looking up at the balcony and towards the rest of the students. Hans rested his hand on her shoulder and smiled down at her, she gave him a small shrug before turning back towards the balcony.
"Students! There will be no announcement. Mickey and Minnie and Hook have been in a meeting this evening and has gone on longer than anticipated. Please go back to your rooms and have a good evening." The Blue Fairy said loudly, the students began to leave.
"And we expect full attendance tomorrow." Frollo added glaring over at the group hovering around Coral. Coral raised her eyebrow and placed her hand on her hip.
"As well we would like to say welcome back Coral." Queen Elinor gestured to the pirate who blushed when all heads turned back to her.
"Dismissed!" Clayton boomed causing all the students apart from Coral's group to scurry out of the hall. The teachers left soon after the students.
"Well Coral we'll see you tomorrow!" Anastasia and Drusilla said happily giving the smaller female a hug. Coral nodded, her eyes drooping slowly.
"Have a good sleep Coral!" Vanessa smiled and waved slightly at the pirate before heading off to her room. Facilier and Hans waited as Helga continued to stare down at Coral.
"What?" Coral said squinting at her friend. Helga glared back and raised her fists hitting her lightly on the head. Coral blinked, as she watched the ever confident blonde shuffle uncomfortably.
"Don't ever do that again." She muttered and turned on her heels "you were stupid." She walked off quickly, Hans and Facilier sniggered as Coral turned to the pair.
"Tell me something... was that her way of saying she missed me?" Coral asked, Facilier took two strides forward and ruffled her hair and took her hand in his.
"I guess so. Good night ma cherie." He turned around and brushed past Hans before heading off. Hans rolled his eyes and turned to Coral.
"It's good to see you back." Hans waited for her to respond however her body swayed and she fell forward. "CORAL!" Hans reached forward and swooped her up into his arms. "Coral? Please don't be a relapse." He tapped her cheek lightly and she groaned.
"Sorry Hans... I'm just really tired." She whispered her eyes closing shut again, Hans nodded a little and turned around scanning the hallways.
"I guess I better get you to your room..." He began to walk with the petite girl sound asleep in his arms. He continued along the corridor until he came across the first floor, he hadn't passed any students as he got to her door. He frowned for a moment.
"Coral where's your key?" Hans asked, her response was a small mumble, he groaned and shifted the girl until she was over one of his shoulders. He reached to her bag which was attached to her back and rummaged around.
"Ha! Got it." He shuffled to the door and fumbled trying to get the key in. Finally, he opened the door and moved into the room, he walked over to the bed and moved his hand undoing Coral's boots and flinging them on the floor, before slowly lowering the girl onto the bed. She moaned softly before rolling over, slapping Hans in the face before curling up close to her pillow. Hans sighed and headed to the door until a small sound left Coral's lips. He turned back around and frowned before closing the door and walking back to his room.
