8 The Halloween Ball
POV Merida
Tight. Tight. Tight!
I am trying to make myself feel comfortable in the emerald green long dress. “Anna, this is too much,” I whisper and my cheeks are red when I look down. It even squeezes me there. “Nah! You look beautiful Merida but don’t forget the fairy wings and ears,” she chirps and waves her wand. I feel my ears growing and how a set of wings grow on my back. I groaned and Anna patted my back, “You look pretty Merida. Besides Peter will come soon to pick you up from downstairs,” she smiled.
Arranged, this is what this was, an arranged trap. Anna dressed also, her dress was A-line and bright pink with gold trimmings. “What are you?” I glared at her and she laughed, “Sun goddess.” Then she created a golden sun crown on her head that gave out bright light. “Well, that figures,” I laughed.
We went downstairs but we made a slight detour. “Time to check if Elsa is even halfway done. Her house must be somewhere in this direction since people from Ravenclaw come from here most often,” Anna gave out a sly smirk. I sighed and followed her.
“There she is!” Anna points up and I see Elsa. She is walking downstairs and her hand slides on the railing of staircase. Her dress is a-line and light looking. It has long white sleeves and the breast piece is white. Rest of the dress is ice blue. It has embroidered blue roses on her shoulders and the cut in the middle of the dress starting from her waistline shows out some white fabric from beneath. The edges have embroidery also.
Elsa blushes, “Stop staring.” Her hair is not on the usual tight knot over her head but on a loose French braid. “But you’re stunning!” Anna exhales. I nod, “This I have to agree. So you’re kind of medieval princess?” I pinch the dresses fabric and Elsa laughs, “I guess so.”
We met Punzie downstairs. We still had some time before our dates arrive. She was wearing light purple dress and told us that she wanted to be vampire and she flashed her fangs making us all jump back. “Punz!” Anna laughed to her.
POV Hiccup
This is the worst experiment ever. I am looking at different options. “Should I take the axe or the sword or what?” I whisper when I look at the options. I should be a male Viking because Astrid wanted to be a female. I still don’t know why I agreed to be her.. umm.. date in the Halloween ball for the last year students.
I tie the axe on my waist and then I breathe in deeply before I open the door. I am walking towards the castle while adjusting my belt properly on it’s place. Brown is a good color for Viking, I think. I glance at the brown Viking armor that I made from leather. I look over my shoulder and I wish that the dragons will behave in the Forbidden Forest tonight.
WHOOSH. THUMP.
I look in front of me where something just landed from the air. “Hi Toothless!” I laugh and the black dragon walks to me. It frowns to me, “Sorry buddy but you can’t come to the ball. You would steal the show.” I rub him under his neck and he licks me. “Calm down! I will bring you a treat,” I laugh when Toothless pushes me down and rubs its head on my chest.
When Toothless left I had to run the rest of the trip to the castle of Hogwarts. I was a bit late already. “S-sorry!” I panted when I reached Astrid who was waiting me in front door of the castle. She turned around and she was stunning in her white Viking armor. “No problem Hiccs,” she smiled and grabbed my hand.
“Are you certain that this is alright? I mean I don’t use magic and besides. I am a teacher,” I gasped when we walked inside. She laughed, “Sure and you are the same age as last year students. I don’t think that principal North will mind if you have some fun.”
I watch to my left and I see the most popular girls in whole Hogwarts. I mean, those girls the guys secrectly whisper on my classes to each other. There is Merida who among Elsa is hard to approach, then there is sweet Anna who had a boyfriend once and got betrayed before meeting his new sweetheart. Then there is the friendly Rapunzel who is kind to everyone.
Oh god, I am staring. ‘Do something else’, I thought to myself when my hands tried to adjust my shirt.
POV Punzie
After we had a good laugh I saw Hiccup walking in with Astrid. I showed thumbs up to Astrid while I watched Hiccup trying to adjust his shirt. They were dressed up as Vikings. I still don’t know how she convinced Hiccup to come even though when some of the students despise him because he doesn’t know how to use magic. Poor Hiccup, even though when he is actually the youngest teacher in Hogwarts he is still mistreated.
“They are coming,” Anna whispered quickly and I look to end of the hall. She was right, there was Kristoff, Peter and Flynn coming to us. I glance at Elsa who smiles and waves her hand, “See you inside!” She arrived to the ball alone.
I took a hold from Flynn’s arm and we walk inside. “Everything alright?” Flynn smiles to me and I nod. “Sure! I am just sad that Elsa is alone,” I whisper to him and he nods couple of times. “Well, I know that many guys asked her out but she declined every offer. Even when Jim Hawkins asked she refused,” Flynn gave me a slight smile. Whoa, she declined Jim Hawkins who many girls just dream off in my house.
We were dancing and having fun. Elsa was just cheering us from the edge of the dance floor.
POV Jack
I look at my reflection. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” I turn around and I glare at uncle North. I am at his office and he keeps laughing. “No, you must go to the ball like every other last year student and that looks just fine,” he smiles and winks his eye.
I am still staring at the sight. Me wearing black pants, white long sleeved shirt and ice blue vest. “I really would not want to go,” I whisper coldly. “You will!” North raised his voice which echoed in the room and caused me to flinch. “FINE!” I snap at him.
“Then the mask!” North throws me bunny ears. “You’re joking, right?” I look at the bunny ears in shock. North shakes his head, “No. You need to dress up to something and we are short on masks. It is Halloween ball.”
I sigh and try on the bunny ears in front of the mirror. “No way!” I yell and throw them in the corner. “If I go, I will do it my way,” I let a sly smirk to North and he stares at me. I let the the power grow inside of me as I stare at the mirror. “Jack, don’t” North whispers and I grin to him deviously.
“This is Halloween ball, no one will suspect a thing if I go there as myself the half spirit,” I laugh to him and I look at my reflection. Gone are the brown hair and eyes and now I look more like myself. I look like myself with blue eyes and silverish white hair, now they will see the real me without noticing it.
I walk on the corridors and I hear whispers around me. ‘Is he dressed up as spirit?’, I start to hear the whispers more loud and clear. I let out a sly smirk. ‘Whoa he actually is good looking. I wonder why he came alone.’ Oh god, I walk faster and try to shut out my ears from the words around me.
The hall went quiet when I walked inside. Hiccup walks to me immediately and whispers, “Are you nuts? Coming here looking like that? What if--?” I cut him off, “Don’t worry. They will just think that I dressed up like spirit. Not like I am one.”I push him aside and I walk to stand against the wall.
Few hours and the torture will end. I look at some pairs dancing on the floor and having fun. I smile faintly since I loved when people had fun. Then I look at my right and I see Elsa standing on the edge of the dance floor, holding her arms crossed. Something about her is causing my blood to boil.
I walk to Elsa and I grab her wrist, pulling her after me. “W-what?” She gasps and I push her against the wall. My breathing is shallow and I lean close to her, she backs up and her body presses against the wall. My other hand leans on the wall.
“You managed to ruin my life in few moments,” I glare at her. She is shivering, “B-but..how?” She whispers, no one seems to notice us. We would seem like a normal couple to people when everyone is busy dancing. Like a couple? Hmm..
I look at her and a devious grin runs to my face. “You know,” my hand plays with her hair and I lean my head next to hers while whispering to her. “K-know what?” She exhales and tries to push me away from her. “ I have gotten hurt while helping you lately, you even stole my freedom with that kiss and..,” my hand brushes her cheek and she turns her head away from me. Her cheeks are red.
“And what?” She snaps to me. “And I think it is time for revenge,” my hand goes around her back and my other hand turns her face facing me. “How about a kiss to cause some gossip. You like to be noticed, don’t you?” I laugh to her while I am being sarcastic. “Don’t you da--,” she gasped but I pressed my lips against hers.
She is trying to push me away but I press her tightly against me, I smile while I kiss her. Her eyes are wide from shock. I bend my head slightly to my right and I see how she closes her eyes. Soon her hands stop pushing me and I feel how her hands start to crumble my shirt, pulling me actually closer to her.
When I stop her expression seemed disappointed for a moment. Why is my heart beating like this when I look at her. She gave me another quick kiss to my lips before I was too far. It caused me to take few fast steps back.
Then I smirked to her, “Time for some fun.” I took a hold from her hand and started to lead her to dance floor. Soon she would have lots of things to explain to people. Why she was kissing and dancing the one person who people think of when it comes to betrayal and following You-know-who.
POV Anna
I just bursted out my juice that I was drinking. “D-did you see that?” I exhaled to Kristoff who is wiping the juice from his clothes. “See what exactly?” He laughed and I point at Elsa and..Jack Frost. They are standing close the wall and staring each other.
“Elsa just kissed a guy,” I exhaled happily. “Wait, isn’t that..” Kristoff narrowed his eyes and stared at the direction which I was pointing at. “Yeah, Jack Frost. She kissed Jack Frost,” I laugh and hug Kristoff. I knew it, I knew it.
She certainly needs to explain a few things. “Umm,” Kristoff elbowed me and woke me up from my trance. “What! I was having the perfect dream,” I sighed and thought of the idea for me being a bridesmaid.
“Jack just took her hand, they are going to dance,” Kristoff mumbled and stared at the sight. I noticed that everyone else watched them also. I hear whispers around me about them. People are thinking of Jack as bad person but now the girls seem to sound like they are attracted to him. I will make sure that he will stay Elsa’s man. She has been buzzing around him like he is a flower and she is the bee.
POV Elsa
Jack bows to me and I feel the glares of people around us. We are in the middle of the dance floor. “I can’t!” I snap at him and I turn around. He stopped me and pulled me close. “The second part of my revenge starts,” he grins mischievously and he forces me to dancing position.
The music started and he is leading me on the dance floor. He is actually pretty good dancer we are almost like.. I look down, yeah we are slightly floating in the air. I lift my gaze and I see how he smirks and looks at my face, almost like examining it. The smirk.. I look at his mouth and I remember how he kissed me.
My cheeks turn red but I glance at him quickly. He is just looking at other direction where someone just laughed loudly. Without thinking I stop dancing and he looks at me confused. I cup his face between my hands and he flinches. I need to know.
I give him a kiss that is meant to explore him. His hand was squeezing my wrist moments before, trying to get me letting go of his face. Now his hand dropped away and I feel how he places his hands on my hips. I feel his soft and cool lips against mine. How his breathing is shallow and breaking. He tastes like mint and his breathe is like fresh cool winter wind.
The song ended and I let go of him. He is still panting and his hair seems messier than before. His cheeks are in deep shade of red and he looks at me from head to toe. I am speechless, finding words after this is hard.
He backs up, trips on his own feet and falls to ground. He jumps up and runs outside. I am left standing on the dance floor.
“Umm..” I feel someone tapping my shoulder. It is Anna. “What happened? I mean.. you two were looking so good together?” Anna smiled to me. I shook my head, “W-what?”
“I saw you guys,” Anna squealed and my cheeks deepened the shade of red again. “H-he used some potion on me,” I gasped and run out. Now Anna was left in the dance floor standing.
The autumn air cooled off the weird feeling in me. I was walking outside and I touched my cheeks, “Still warm but much better.” Soon I found myself near the tree where Jack usually is. There he was again.
I took out my wand and pointed it at him, I did the limp locking spell in him. “Why, why did you do that?” I yell at him and he stares at me with his blue eyes. “Revenge?” He chuckles.
“You have been on a revenge trip from the first day in Hogwarts!” I snap at him and he cocks his eyebrow. “Why do you believe that?” He smirks. I am boiling from rage now. “You mocked me when I went to Ravenclaw!”
He laughs, “Nope. I just thought that you would have been better in Gryffindor.” I stare at him, “No way.” He smiles, “Yeah way. If you trust yourself you are courageous..but of course you’re smart too.” Is he complimenting me?
“Well.. EXPLAIN THE OTHER STUFF! In potion classes and everything!” I grasp a hold from his shirts collar and he gasps. “Fine but remove the spell first!” He exhales. I did as he asked from me.
“The potion exploded on you because I changed the ingredient.. You know that?” He whispered and I nodded. That bastard.
“We have to taste the potions.. if you would have used the ingredient you were about to you would have been poisoned and for a week in hospital,” he rubbed his neck and my jaw dropped. “Exploding potion was a better option? Right? I mean you don’t take help from others.. I know that since I am the same,” he laughed nervously.
I sigh, “That was just one occasion.” He nodded, “I know that I make fun of you often. And I am sorry but it is my protection method to keep people away from me.” I groaned, “Just continue.. How about when we were taught flying with brooms? I mean.. you gave me the broom you had first and it was broken!”
His mouth slightly opened. “I.. I didn’t know that it was broken. When you fell.. don’t you remember? You didn’t get hurt? I used my wind power to slow your fall,” he looked down. “Y-you did?” I whispered and he nodded.
I sit next to him and he startles. “You should get used that people might be around you without intention to be mean to you,” I whisper to him. I know that he has been bullied a lot in school because of his attitude. “We are no--,” He starts but I tell him to hush. “We are not friends? How can you say that?” I stare at him and he is panting, looking away.
“You’ve opened up to me, and you say that we are not friends?” I repeat my question and he slowly turns to look at me. “People around me get hurt. I can’t allow that. I won’t be blackmailed because I care for some people,” he whispered. So this is his reason.
He sighs, “I mean..now they might be after you since they believe that you are me…sort of..” I touch his hand. “I will manage,” I smile to him. “I care about you..Elsa,” he whispers and his cheeks turn red.
“Let us have a weird hate..love.. relationship then!” I laughed and jumped up. I offered him my hand and he smiled, taking hold of it. I pulled him up and he chuckled. He embraced me and I noticed him kissing me again. With quick movement I pushed him away and slapped his cheek. “Yea, hate and love… I get it,” he laughed with his heart and my cheeks were in flames almost.
“Uh.. yeah.. “ I mumbled and he kept on smiling. “You taste like mint. Do you eat breath mints often?” I tried to change the subject but failed miserably. He laughed, “No! We spirits smell and taste different things or it is how I have been told. So..how do I smell?” He grins mischievously and leans close to me. “Uhh.. like fresh winter air?” I whisper and he nods.
“Yup, sounds like me. My mother smelled like that also and dad told me that she was like fresh mint whenever they kissed,” he smirked. “There are four types of spirits, I am winter and we are cool and fresh. Then there are summer, autumn and spring spirits. For example I’ve been told that spring spirit tastes like strawberries and smells like flowers,” he smiles cockily and takes a hold from my hand. “Only rare people get so close to spirits to know that, keep it in mind,” back of his hand brushes my cheek before he leaves.
He still didn’t agree for our friendship. Honestly that guy confuses me a lot. Now I don’t even know if I should hate him from the bottom of my heart. I feel so weird around him, now he is also telling me lies about him being a nice person. He just made it up to get me to pity him. He is clever and mischievous, that is why he is in Slytherin after all.
The ball had already ended and I go to our chambers. Ariel is out late with Eric. It is normal that couples stay out a little later after the ball for some making out time. I turn to my side and I stare at the wall, my fingers touch my lips. My first kiss went to a guy who has been tormenting me forever. I close my eyes and I see an image of him laughing and how intimidating his cyan blue eyes are, the way of his white hair which looks like it has been windblown. I scream to my pillow. Now I can’t be left alone by him even in my thoughts.
