Worried For William

After classes Jackson was sat at the Hufflepuff table in the Great Hall. Looking up and down her sighed, still no sign of William. Ever since the kiss they'd shared Jackson hadn't seen him at all, all his things had been disappeared from the dormitory, he hadn't seen him in charms class and evidently he wasn't attending meals. It had been an entire two weeks now and Jackson had come to the conclusion he'd dropped out of Hogwarts. The Hufflepuff had planned to write a letter to William, although wasn't sure what to put.

He missed his friend. Sure he'd been confused about his feelings and in the spur of the moment fled in panic, but now, he didn't care about feelings he missed his friend William. Looking glumy at his mashed potato Jackson sighed and pushed it away to rest by his untouched goblet of pumpkin juice. He wasn't himself, he wasn't cheerful, he wasn't putting much effort into his homework anymore, he wasn't being Jackson Parker at all. Was it guilt? Or worry?

However, whilst he sat staring at the mash potato a group of fourth years were whispering about an incident that had happened last night. An incident involving William?

'Yeah he's been staying in the dungeons all this time.'
'He's a werewolf!'
'Attacked by two stunning spells!'
'Knocked unconcious!'

WHAT!? How on earth did these fourth years know about William's condition? And what was this about him being stunned. Two stunners to the chest would knock him out for a while and he was staying in the dungeons? He hadn't left Hogwarts at all!

Springing form his seat Jackson hurried along the length of the great hall, across the entrance hall and down to the dungeons. Jackson knew exactly where he would be: the dungeon besides potions. All the time he'd spent brewing potions the past two weeks and there was William, in the room next door, feeling exiled.

Bursting through the door Jackson saw William on a bed that must have been conjured by one of the Professors, no doubt the Hufflepuff head of house or the potions professor - William's sponsor. 'William!' Jackson shouted, before rushing over and kicking the bed. 'Get up. Get up!.' His eyes were full of loving passion, right now all he wanted to do was push William over, he would punch but it wasn't in him. All the time Jackson had been worried about William and he'd been in the dungeons all along, and what with the rumour about being stunned?

William was working on his Transfiguration homework.He wasn't feeling well at all.He tried covering up some scratches and he was very pale.He felt like an anvil had been dropped on him.He ached all over and some of the bushes he passed through had torns so he had scratches all over his face.It was obvious that he was a werewolf the pallor,the scratches even if he hadn't inflicted them on himself people started to notice.He saw how people looked at him in his other classes.He had been taking private charms and potions classes so he would be able to avoid Jackson.He might have been brave in other situations but this one he couldn't afront.He missed Jackson and he just hoped he was alright.He knew the romours would spread and he didn't know why he hadn't been insulted for being bisexual.He had expected much more fuss about it than it.He just wished he had a time turner to go back and stop himself from doing it.Or was it he hadn't told?he knew that probably that was it.

He felt miserable and depressed he had lost Jackson and know his emotions were mirrored by his physical appearance.He wished nothing had happened that summer.He was sure that sooner or later Jackson would have to say it.He would have to confess to someone what happened.He just hoped it was a trustworthy person who would keep it as secret as Jackson had.He was too stressed to keep thinking about all this so he tried to fall asleep but he couldn't he just laid there thinking until he stopped thinking and actually had fallen asleep.Suddenly someone was telling him to get up the voice sounded familiar but he hadn't recognized it immediately.He looked up it was a blonde boy with blue eyes.He yawned and saw it was Jackson!He sat upright on the bed leaning his back against the wall.

"Hi, Jackson."He apparently had forgotten that he was talking to the boy he had kissed not so long ago.The friend he had lost not so long ago.He felt ashamed but he didn't show it at all.He just wanted to hug Jackson but he knew he surely he hadn't lost Jackson if he had come to visit.But how did he know Will was here?"Howfur did ye ken ah wis 'ere ?"Had he taken the time to look for him,did Jackson knew him so well that he knew he would be hiding there or was he told by someone and he came running to see him?

Jackson stared down at William, slightly disheartened that he hadnt stood up, but at least he wasn't lay down. 'I've been worried sick!' Jackson gasped, ignoring what William had to say about where he'd been. 'You stop appearing in classes, you're not at meals and all you stuff had gone from the dorm. I thought you'd left! Because of me, because I just walked out.' 

Jackson fell onto the bed besides William and took hold of his hand, staring him in the eye. He didnt care if William had feelings for him, if this would mess with his mind, it was simply a friendly hand. Hopefully William would feel the friendship travelling between them. 'I'm sorry for walking out I- I didn't know what to do nobody's ever, you know, shown any interest in me and then you, the guy I haven't been able to stop thinking about goes ahead and kisses me and-' Jackson paused. He'd just confessed his feelings, or his confusion, Jackson still didn't understand if he really did like William or not. All he knew was that he had liked the kissed but hated it too. 

'I said to much.' Jackson muttered, staring sad-eyed at his legs and taking his hand from William's and bringing it to rest sadly on his lap. 

"A'm sorry.It wasn't yer fault.It wis mines ah wis tae selfish ah wis juist thinking aboot whit ah wanted nae even thinking that yer straecht.I wis scared o' facing ye 'n' whit ye wid hae tae say."He didn't want to be called anything.It wasn't his fault it wasn't a choice, many muggles thought it was, his mom is what worried him he didn't know if she thought it was a choice or not.He had been feeling confused for a long time because he liked girls and he also liked boys.He would have told his mother earlier but he thought of the posibility of being thrown out of the house or not allowed to go to Hogwarts for some reason.

"Ah actually expected ye tae react worse than ye did whin ah realized whit Ah hud done.I expected ye tae batter me 'n' say something rude whin Ah tellt(told) ye that Ah wis bi."He didn't say what he hoped for,he had hoped for Jackson to like him.He didn't want to freak out his best friend.He said that he had been thinking about him which made him understand what was happening.Jackson also was confused he surely didn't know if he liked Willy or some other girl."Na ye haven't said tae much.I tellt(told) ye ah liked ye by winchin'(kissing) ye, atleast ye used words.I ken tis 'ard tae realize that if ye actually ur(are) whit yer that cuid mean something terrrible kin happen.Ye ne'er answered mah quaistion howfur did ye ken(know) ah wis 'ere? "He heard the story Professor Alden had told him about a friend of his who was gay and was bashed and then he fell into a comma and died thre months later.
