Chapter Text
5 Months Later
I slowly woke up. I turned to the side and saw that James was still asleep. I looked at the time, it was 8:35. I wonder if Maleficent and Hades have eaten yet. This was the latest either of us have woken up, would they still be waiting? I grabbed my notepad and wrote a message saying that we'd grab food when Uli shows up later so they didn't have to wait for us.
My eyes changed into my snake eyes. Green sparkly magic covered the paper turning it into a paper bird before flying off to Maleficent's dorm. I laid down turning to face James. I moved some of his hair out of the way. Even after 5 months I couldn't believe we were together. It felt like someone had to pinch me. I don't know how long I was staring at him before he woke up.
"Morning love" he said.
"Morning babe" I replied.
A paper dragon flew through the room before landing on my palm.
"What's that?" he asked before yawning.
"A note from Mali, I told them that they should go eat breakfast since we'd get there late" I replied.
"What time is it?" he asked registering that last part.
I looked over at the clock on my nightstand.
"8:55" I replied.
"Wow that isn't like us" he said.
"Well if someone didn't have a craving around midnight maybe we would've woken up at our usual time" I replied.
"And if someone didn't insist on cooking instead of just grabbing something from the pantry we would've fallen asleep sooner" he said.
"What's wrong with wanting to cook for you?" I asked.
"Nothing darling, I really appreciate it" he replied before kissing me.
It quickly turned into a make out session. Unfortunately we were interrupted by the paper dragon blowing blue fire. Thankfully it didn't burn anything in my room.
"Oh right, Mali sent a note" he said.
"Yeah, she says that it's fine since they just finished getting ready and that they'd see us later with Uli" I replied.
"Perfect" he said before kissing me again.
He rolled us over so he'd be on top of me. I'm not sure how long we were making out before I realized that we weren't going to leave the room if we kept this up.
"James we should really start to get ready" I said between kisses.
No response.
"James" I said.
He pulled away before sitting up.
"We can skip breakfast you know" he replied smirking.
"They'll find it suspicious if neither of us show up to eat and you know it" I said.
"We can tell them we were studying for a test" he replied playing with the hem of my shirt.
"And then you'll get cranky because you didn't eat anything, I'd rather not deal with that" I said.
"Ugh fine" he replied.
He got off me and out of bed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him in for one more kiss.
"I'll meet you over there" I said.
"I'm offended that you don't want to see me after getting ready" he replied as he walked to the door.
"You know why" I said.
He chuckled.
"Love you darling" he said.
"Love you too babe" I replied.
Skip Time
We got our food from the buffet area and walked over to our table in the dining hall.
"James Hook always fashionably late" Maleficent teased.
"Of course Mali, you know me" he replied.
"And you need to stop drinking your sugary lattes at night" Hades said pointing at me.
"Never, they're too good" I replied.
"Out of curiosity, how many of those do you drink a day?" Maleficent asked.
"I'd rather not say" I replied.
Uliana arrived a few minutes later.
"Didn't feel like messing with people before breakfast Uli, that's not like you" James said.
"Only because my eels were being extra annoying this morning so it took me longer to get ready" she replied.
"And you call them your babies" Hades said under his breathe.
"I heard that" she replied.
We kept eating while talking about what we were going to be doing after classes. Uliana kept looking at Bridget. I was hoping she wasn't planning on doing something bad to her. It always depended on the day if she would try to mess with Bridget directly or not. After we finished eating we walked to our classes. Uliana had alchemy class, Maleficent and James had geography class while Hades and I had magic history class.
"I wish we could learn more interesting things in this class" Hades said.
"You say that every time" I replied.
"Exactly, and my wish never comes true" he said.
I chuckled. I looked at the board.
"Well at least we'll be learning about fairies" I said.
"Yeah I guess" he replied.
"Does Maleficent talk to you about being a fairy?" I asked.
"Sometimes but after dating for 2 years I already know a lot so she doesn't bring it up as much" he replied.
"But I still love to learn anything new about it" he said.
"Awe Hades you're such a softie" I replied.
"Only for the people closest to me" he said.
I chuckled. A few minutes later the teacher started the lecture. There were a few people who kept asking questions which was really annoying. I grabbed my textbook and started reading ahead.
1 hour and 15 minutes later
We just got out of class. Hades was going to take a nap since he had study period next. I walked over to my spell casting class. Maleficent arrived a few minutes after me. The teacher started with the lecture. She showed me some spells that she had bookmarked that were related to what we were learning. The lesson went by quick.
"What are you going to do next?" I asked.
"I'm going to meet Hades for a study date, I have study period next so it counts" she replied.
I laughed.
"Technically yeah" I said.
"And you?" she asked.
"I have to finish my geography homework" I replied.
"Maybe James can help you with it" she said.
"Yeah I'll ask him" I replied.
We said bye and walked away. I went to the fencing room. He was in the middle of fighting against some prince. 10 minutes later the fight ended. The prince looked upset that he lost.
"Hey Morgie" James said.
"Hey Hook, wasn't your class supposed to be over by now?" I asked.
"Yeah it did but princey over there refused to lose against a pirate" he replied.
I laughed. He grabbed his things and we left. We walked to his dorm. The second the door closed he kissed me.
"Not that I mind you showing up to my fencing class but were you there to watch or something else?" he asked.
"I was going to ask you if you could help me with my geography homework but watching you fence was a nice bonus" I replied.
He laughed then winked at me.
"Alright I'm gonna go shower real quick" he said as he grabbed a towel.
"I'll try not to fall asleep while I wait for you" I replied.
"Ha ha, you're so hilarious" he said as he walked to the bathroom.
I laughed as I laid down on his bed. I grabbed one of his books from his night stand. I'm not sure how much time past when he got out of the bathroom.
"There's my handsome boyfriend" I said.
"I'm only handsome right now darling" he replied pretending to be upset.
I laughed before walking over to kiss him.
"Ok what part of your homework do you need help with?" he asked as we sat down at the table.
I grabbed the assignment.
"The entire backside, I still get some places mixed up" I replied.
"That's alright darling" he said.
He grabbed his notebook and started explaining the answers to me.
Skip Time
We just finished the assignment along with his lecture of the chapter. He always made sure that I actually understood what we were learning in class. Of course I did the same thing whenever he needed help with magic history. We both started to get hungry.
"Do you want to eat in the dining hall?" he asked.
"No let's eat here" I replied.
We went to the buffet area to get our food. I used a levitation spell to help carry some of our things. He put a blanket on the bed before we set the food down.
"We should do this more often" he said.
"Yeah maybe we can do this once a week or something" I replied.
We kept talking about different things while we ate. When we finished our food I cast a spell to put our dishes away. It disappeared in a green cloud of smoke.
"How come with some spells your magic isn't sparkly green?" he asked.
"I'm not exactly sure, I've heard that it's related to how much energy you use though" I replied.
He sat against the headboard. I laid down on top of him with my back against his chest. We enjoyed the silence for a while. Eventually we started to get sleepy. We laid down to get more comfortable. At some point in my sleep I shape shifted into a snake. I don't know what time it was when I woke up to him petting me.
"Hi love sorry to wake you but I have class soon" he said.
I shape shifted back to my human form.
"It's ok, I'll see at dinner" I replied.
I grabbed my things and we started walking to the door. He kissed me before we left. I went back to my dorm. Since I had free time I went to go see my mom. When I got there she hugged me.
"Hi mom" I said.
"Hi Morgie" she replied.
"How are you dear?" she asked.
"I'm good, how are you?" I replied.
"I'm alright dear" she said.
"How's James?" she asked.
"He's great" I replied.
We sat down and talked about what I've been up to for the last week. I told about different pranks we've pulled, the spells I've been practicing and things like that. It was almost dinner time when I got up.
"Hey mom is it ok if I tell James that I found a way to see you again?" I asked.
"Of course dear, I'm honestly surprised you haven't told him yet" she replied.
"I know it's just since this is our secret I wasn't sure" I said.
"Don't worry dear it's safe for him to know" she replied.
"Ok, bye mom" I said while hugging her.
"Bye Morgie" she replied.
I touched the picture frame and was surrounded by green magic before reappearing in my dorm. I put the spell book away and headed to the dining hall. We were all talking while we ate. Towards the end of our meal Bridget arrived with her flamingo cupcakes.
Uliana stole the feathers and threw the plate Bridget was holding across the room. We all laughed. James and I mouthed sorry when the others walked away. Bridget said that it was ok. Ella helped her clean up. We went to go hang out at the Black Lagoon.

We all walked to the dormitory. We said good night to Hades and Maleficent. James and I changed into our pajamas. After we laid down he grabbed the book that was on his nightstand and started reading it out loud.
40 minutes later
"Babe can we go to the kitchen to make hot chocolate and s'mores?" I asked.
"Sure darling" he replied.
We walked over to the kitchen. I got out all the ingredients. James was stirring the hot chocolate while I was roasting the marshmallows.
"So I have some news" I said.
"What is it love?" he asked.
"I found a way to visit my mom" I replied.
"Oh my god really?, how?" he asked.
"I was looking through her spell book and found a drawing of her cottage, after I touched it I was actually there. I found some instructions on what spell to use to get to her tower" I replied.
"That's amazing love" he said hugging me.
"Thanks" I replied.
"How many times have you visited her?" he asked.
"Twice, I wanted to make sure that the spell wasn't a one off thing" I replied.
"It must've been amazing seeing her again after all these years" he said as he went back to stirring.
"Yeah it was" I replied.
We finished making the s'mores and hot chocolate. After putting everything in a plate and 2 mugs we walked back to his dorm. We kept talking while we eat. About an hour later we went to sleep.
