A PORTION OF FOREVER

CHAPTER FOURTEEN. 

There's been talk going around that a former Death Eater had been jailed in Azkaban this morning, it's all the buzz in the halls of Hogwarts and everyone seemed to be indulging themselves in this news. Jisoo hadn't heard about it until after her second period, when she met up with Bona by the statue of the golden knight. Bona had instantly grabbed Jisoo's arms and looked at her with bewildered, wide eyes. "Is Taehyung okay?"

"What?" Jisoo blurts, totally confused and for some reason, her friend's expression and question made her nervous all of a sudden. "Yes, he - he is." They had been partners for a classroom quiz bowl in Arithmancy and it was safe to say that they nailed it. They had made a bet, and Taehyung had won. She promised to buy him butterbeer the next time they visited Hogsmeade. Taehyung had been his usual, cheery self during class. "Why? Is something wrong?"

Bona's hands flew to her satchel, where she grabbed a rumpled copy of today's issue of the Daily Prophet. Both Jisoo and Bona didn't have owl subscriptions to the newspaper, so she must have seen this from someone else and took it from them, hence why they were so late to the news.

BREAKING NEWS: DARK WIZARD AND FORMER DEATH EATER KIM NAMJOON FINALLY CAPTURED

"Kim Namjoon?" Jisoo read the article briefly, skimming it over for the important bits and details. It seems like he was captured during a raid and that he's been stirring trouble for a while now. His Dark Mark could be seen in the photo that accompanied the headline, an inked in skull and snake as black as night against his pale arm, as he was cuffed and taken by officials.

Bona took the newspaper from her hands and shoved it back inside her bag. "He's Taehyung's cousin," she tells her friend, her voice going an octave lower. "You better go find him after class, Jisoo. I already heard a few students talking smack about him."

All throughout class, Jisoo had never been so distracted like this. She was restless, fidgety and antsy. She kept looking at the grandfather clock on the other side of the room and hoped desperately for time to pick up its pace. She was beyond worried for Taehyung and the more she sat there in the stuffy classroom filled with malicious glances from her gossiping classmates, the more worried she got.

When the bell finally rang, Jisoo felt like she could breathe again. She hurtled towards the door but a group of girls had blocked her way just before she could grab onto the doorknob.

"Kim Jisoo, I didn't know you had it in you to date a Death Eater," the way Sana emphasized the last two words made Jisoo sick to her stomach. "Honestly, the goody two shoes and the bad - or no, the evil - boy. This makes for a rather thrilling love story, don't you think?" She smiled, but there was something so vile about it that Jisoo had to look away.

"Move, Sana." She murmured but there was little to no force in her voice at all.

"Leave her alone, you guys," Im Nayeon pulled Sana back, allowing Jisoo a wider access to the door.
