Elena reached up to cover his hands with her own and said seriously, "I promise. I'm just a teensy bit sore, but that, too, is perfectly normal and likely to be fixed right up with sugar and coffee. And there's always the Infirmary, which I am quite sure I won't be needing."

Jasper nodded, still trying to calm himself down. "As long as you're sure, I guess," he said. He sighed. "Can I... Can I just hold you for a minute?"

Elena smiled up at him and said, wrapping her arms around his waist, "Of course."

Jasper's arms wrapped around her and pulled her close. He laid his head against the top of hers. "Thank you," he said. "It does help."

"No problem," Elena said, resting her cheek against his chest and closing her eyes in contentment. After a few moments she said, "Hey.. Do you think you could do that thing where your mind doesn't appear on Autumn's radar again? Because if she's down at breakfast, we're both going to have to either block like crazy-ass or be ready to keep a running monologue of begging for mercy in our heads."

"I can try," Jasper said. "But I have no idea how to do it in the first place. Besides, if it didn't stay like that last night, she may already know. Plan B might be easier," he added, trying to lighten the mood.
((Should I bring in Autumn when they go down for breakfast?))

[Lol, sure]
Elena winced and said, "Yeah - that's true. Alright - so we go in mentally begging for mercy and for her not to tell Chaosti. You ready?"

Jasper sighed. "Yeah, I guess I have to be. But I think we should consider at least telling people that we're together," he said. "I mean, if you still want to be together."
((Okay. I think it's a little early for her to sense the baby though...))

[Yeah. Probably not until Elena finds out, and then she picks it up from Elena's thoughts. Until then I think all she'd be able to sense from it would be weird buzzing, or something]
Elena smiled and said, "'Course I do, if you do."

((Yeah, sounds good.))
Jasper looked down at her and smiled. "Absolutely," he said. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

Elena kissed him back warmly, savoring the moment before they had to go downstairs and face the repercussions of their actions. [Irony!] After a long moment she pulled back, licked her lips, and said with a small laugh, "Well, if there's anything that could fortify us against the possibly awaiting lectures, I think that's it."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that," Jasper said. He released her except he kept one arm around her waist. "We should get down there soon if we want breakfast."

"Yeah, let's go," Elena agreed, keeping an arm around Jasper's waist as well. She walked over to her door and peeked out, then said, "Okay - coast looks clear." She opened the door all the way then and stepped outside, bringing Jasper with her. She then started her way down the stairs hurriedly, hoping to avoid any hooplah with other girls spotting them.

Jasper walked with her, trying to make his movements as quiet as possible. "We're gonna have to test if my room is safer than yours I think," he whispered. "Sneaking around like this is gonna get wicked old fast."

Elena nodded and said, "Or we'll need to be prepared next time, and have some brooms on hand to sneak in and out of windows." Remembering that he was new to this whole wizarding thing, she grinned up at Jasper and said, "Oh, by the way, we can fly on brooms."

Jasper's eyes widened. "Brooms? Seriously? Is that safe?" He kept walking through the dorms, looking around to make sure no one saw them. "I guess that probably sounds pretty stupid to you..."

Elena laughed and said, "It's perfectly safe as long as you've practiced. And don't worry, I come from a muggle family too, so I went through all the same shocks you're going through." As they reached the bottom of the stairs, she peered out into the common room. There were a couple of people scattered about studying, but she didn't think any of them would notice them. Trying to be casual, she stepped into the room and headed for the portrait hole.

Jasper kept quiet as they walked across the room, trying not to attract attention. He kept his arm around Elena. As they got closer to the door, he leaned over and kissed her temple.
((You want to just skip to the dining hall?))

[Lol, sure]
Down in the dining hall, Elena automatically headed for the Fire house tables and sat down, tugging Jasper down to sit next to her. "Ah - here we go!" She said, claiming a goblet and pouring some coffee in it. She dumped sugar into it liberally, then sipped at it as she put a plate of bacon and eggs together.

Jasper followed Elena's lead and poured coffee into a cup. He piled his plate with food as he looked around. "Are you sure we're not supposed to be sitting separately?" he asked.
Autumn was sitting at the Air table, reading, when Elena and Jasper came in. Jasper's mind was blank again and Elena was focusing on the boy she came in with. Autumn watched the two of them interact, but didn't really think anything of it.
