YOONGI

His eyes mesmerized by the heavy rainfall dribbling around the unfinished building, Yoongi awaited impatiently for Taehyung's arrival. With such heavy rainfall and the storm, they hadn't crossed any wizards on the way in the city. Weather like this was dangerous for everyone, muggles and wizards alike.

Yoongi was sure everyone must have been at home, barricading themselves, shielding their families from the cold water pouring from the clouds above the city and roaming in the streets like a wild river. Everyone but them two: Namjoon had insisted they meet in this cold, humid, open-spaced building, still in construction, from what he could tell. They were on one of the highest floors, hidden in the bare steel skeleton of the structure.
He eyed his wrist watch, 3AM. They had been there for almost an hour.

"Are you sure he's coming?" he hissed at Namjoon, standing on his left, quiet as always. The man was probably lost deep in thought. He watched him eye the horizon, past the curtain of rain.

"He always comes," Namjoon muttered,
"He's probably late because he was tying lose ends in his investigation."
The distinct bubbly noise of apparition caught Yoongi's attention. Naturally grasping his wand and hoisting it defensively in fron of him, he noticed two figures advancing in from the darkness. Long trench coats, combat boots, soaked to the bone. He recognized Taehyung and Jungkook.
"I didn't know Jungkook was coming along," Namjoon's voice echoed from behind him.

    "I figured you wouldn't mind," Taehyung rebuffed, advancing towards them both,     "He's in your circle," he pulled a small vial from his pocket, which Yoongi recognized immediately as truth serum

"I figured you wouldn't mind," Taehyung rebuffed, advancing towards them both,
"He's in your circle," he pulled a small vial from his pocket, which Yoongi recognized immediately as truth serum. Couldn't be too careful, Taehyung was smart. They passed each other the content of the potion, verifying everyone's identity, before proceeding in the discussion which was the reason of their meeting.

"Did it have to be here? It's freezing," Jungkook sighed, annoyed, as he dried himself and Taehyung with a spell.

"Namjoon summoned the storm to cover the meeting, but it was Taehyung who picked this very spot," Yoongi chuckled at the sight of Jungkook's wet curls suddenly drying themselves into peak condition.

"What do you have to share, Taehyung?" Namjoon wondered, folding his arms on his chest.

"I have a couple new leads, which we spend the day verifying. Do you have an answer to my question?" the auror asked the headmaster.

'Ah, Hoseok.' Namjoon had explained every detail to Yoongi, who had pondered on that very same question himself. He had a hard time remembering, as he was too busy actually partaking in the third task to even bother noticing Hoseok, or anyone, in the crowd.

Taehyung grasped a small casefile from his coat's interior pocket and enlarged it with the tip of his wand. A couple dozen documents, pictures and notes started hovering around him and Namjoon.
