Magic Within Us - An Ateez Hogwarts AU

Sweet Briar

A/n: Something that because of the conversation I didn't quite get to explain as much as I would have liked:
Mahoutokoro - the Wizarding school in Asia, located on the remote 'abandoned' island of Minami Iwo Jima. Just south of Iwo Jima, Japan. The school is located at the topmost volcanic mountain. Like Hogwarts there is a village nearby that is more like a larger wizarding community like godric's hollow/diagon alley rather than Hogsmeade. When children go to Mahoutokoro they get all of their things right before they depart on the Giant storm petrels for Mahoutokoro.
Some of this information is cannon by Jk Rowling and some of it info I have embellished.

Thank you for loving MWU so far!❤️❤️❤️❤️

San woke to the soft rise and fall of his head on Wooyoung's chest. He kept his eyes closed, the moment seemed unreal, if he didn't remember how he had fallen asleep he might think it was a dream. He still wasn't convinced it wasn't.

Was it really possible that last night happened? Did he really kiss Wooyoung, climb on his lap, then fall asleep cuddling? San took a deep breath, eucalyptus and pine filled his nose. He was still unable to place that final smell.

He meant all that he told Wooyoung, he did like him. In the way that Wooyoung had expressed that he also liked San. The details before the hospital wing were just as fuzzy as they had been last night. The thought didn't bother him, he and Wooyoung had talked about it.

San was filled with peacefulness. Content. And for just a minute he let himself just feel. No worries, no thoughts.

It was the soft trail of what he could only think was Wooyoung's fingertips across the center of his back that forced San to open his eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you were awake." He mumbled. His hand pushed against Wooyoung's chest as he sat up on the bed.

"Wait." Wooyoung reached out his hand, grasping San's fingertips gently. "Are you okay?"

San could see the fear that Wooyoung was trying to mask. He had felt it himself when he woke. The fear that the other person did not return their affections. "Yeah, perfect." He made to stand once more.

"Wait." Wooyoung didn't let go of San's hand yet. "I won't pretend I know what this means for us. But I'd like it if you gave me a chance to take you on a date."

San looked into Wooyoung's warm brown eyes. "When?"

"Tonight? Meet me at the astronomy tower during dinner." Wooyoung finally let go of San's hand.

San stood, straightening his shirt and running his hands through his hair to calm the rowdy waves of hair. "Will you be providing food?" Asked San, a smile on his lips.

Wooyoung smiled back at him. "Of course."

"I'll be there." He turned and walked out into the hall. It was already midday and he was sure that the rest of his team had already gone back to their common room. Sure enough all of the other beds in the Hospital wing were empty.

When he arrived in Gryffindor tower, San was surprised to see the space mostly empty. Across the room Hongjoong was sitting on one of the lounging couches reading a book. As San entered and made his way across the room, Hongjoong stood, closing his book and setting down on the end table next to him. He followed San up the stairs to their dorm silently.

"Spill the beans." Hongjoong said as he closed the door of their dorm behind them. The room was just as empty as the common room.

San opened his trunk and started rifling through it for clean clothes. He pulled out a light grey long sleeve shirt, and his favorite pair of black jeans. "I'm sure the rest of the team already told you what happened."
