NCT Dream - The Wizarding Worlds Differences

Chapter 9. Brotherly love

"How could they!"

Renjun stormed around in his dorm room with the four others staring at him. He was livid, no one touched his brother or they would get Huang Renjun's wrath over them.

"Fuck them! Fuck everyone! I want to find Sicheng right now!"

Jeno approached the fuming prince and took a hold of his shoulders and turned him towards himself.

"I know that you are angry Renjun and you have every right to be. But remember what we talked about, the Na brothers are maybe forced to do things they don't want to. You said it yourself."

Renjun calmed down a bit, he knew that the Gryffindor was right. He didn't want to put the blame on Jaemin and Jisung but found it hard. His brother was kidnapped and he knew that the two had something to do with it. Whether it was willingly or unwillingly he didn't know and that's what made him so frustrated.

Sicheng is very important to Renjun, he has always been there for him and helped him with the princely duties. They have always been very close, talking with each other about everything. At least they used to. The two brothers had grown apart a bit after Sicheng began Hogwarts, Renjun had a feeling that Sicheng was hiding something from him but didn't want to confront him about it both hating confrontation and knowing that Sicheng would probably tell him at some point.

The crown prince knows about most of Renjun's struggles and has helped him a lot. Renjun wanted to help him as well but didn't always know how as he was younger and had less experience.

Now was his time, he was going to get his brother whatever it takes.

One Ravenclaw followed by two Hufflepuffs and two Gryffindors sneaked through the dark and empty hallways of the big school. The otherwise big hallways looked even bigger in the light shining from the prince's wand. It was eerily quiet and their footsteps echoed from the walls. Every few metres the company would stop to listen for footsteps that didn't belong to them.

The group didn't really have any other plan than to successfully get out of the castle without anyone seeing them, after that they had no idea what to do. Everything was Renjun's idea, or mostly his idea. He had desperately wanted to get his brother back home (or to the school actually but whatever) and had suggested that he would go and try to find him. It was actually Jeno's idea that the rest would go with him, the Gryffindor not liking the thought of the frail prince to go out alone. (They knew what happened last time.)

The boys continued their way quietly through the school and got to the front door almost too easily. At least that's what Renjun thought before he could hear hushed voices and footsteps getting closer, not only that but he could see the light of a torch growing bigger and approaching from behind a corner. Renjun grabbed a hold of the hand of the boy who was closest to him and dragged him with him to hide behind a staircase desperately hoping that the owners of the voices would just walk past.

That didn't happen though and the voices grew even closer. The others had already rushed to hiding places of their own and now they only had to wait while holding their breath, even a small bit of noise not afforded to get out.

The footsteps got closer and closer to the staircase where Renjun and another boy -who he found to be Donghyuck after a while- were crouching. They both stayed still as statues and didn't dare to breathe, their hearts were hammering in their chests and they could feel their pulse throbbing in their head from the adrenaline.

The danger was soon over as the mystical people turned to walk up the stairs still immersed in their conversation.

The five boys got out of the school to find the empty school grounds illuminated in moonlight, the half moon was at its highest peak at this moment. The grass was coated in a bit of frost signalling that winter was coming and the wind felt cold as it brushed past them.
