Black and White
"You know," started Brian as he leaned toward Sungjin to whisper. Sungjin leaned back to him. "Dowoon was so cute when he got his letter. He was so reserved and quiet; I never expected him to be that excited."
Sungjin smiled, "He's just shy, that's why he's quiet. But he observes too. I'm guessing he'd be in Ravenclaw."
Brian nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Mark was quiet too. I really don't know how Jaehyung hyung got in there."
Sungjin giggled to him, "Jaehyung knows quite some things. His intelligence is random. He's sometimes more street-smart than book-smart. Dowoon is kind of both. He excelled in his school and, as I said, he's observant and that's why he's quiet most of the time — that's where he gets his street knowledge."
Brian grinned and looked at the older, "You know your thing, huh? Aren't you observant too?"
Sungjin shrugged with a confident smirk.
"Yah, we appreciate you two whispering to each other about... things. But we can leave if you want," Jaehyung suddenly spoke up.
Brian rolled his eyes, "You don't even know what we're talking about."
"That's the point," Jaehyung said.
"I think they're talking about Dowoonie," Wonpil pointed to the boy. "They were looking at him earlier. And you too, Jaehyung hyung."
Jaehyung gave Brian a dirty look while Dowoon ignored them as he leaned to the window, watching the scenery, but he was still listening.
"We're just talking about how you're both smart on different levels," Brian truthfully said.
Jaehyung stared suspiciously at him.
Brian rolled his eyes again, "Should have grabbed Jaebeom with us."
Suddenly, the train stopped. Brian's hand instinctively shot out to grab hold of something, and it held back onto him. Sungjin stood up, telling the rest of them to stay put as he peeked out of the cabin, letting go of Younghyun's hand momentarily.
It was dark, still turning darker. The temperature dramatically dropped and Dowoon, putting a hand on the window, snapped his head to Sungjin. Something cloaked with black hovered over the door and with its thin, wood-like fingers, it pulled the door open.
Brian grabbed Sungjin's robe and pulled him back. The Hufflepuff tumbled and fell to his back. Brian shielded him from the dark creature and then their faces connected. It seemed like it was sucking the life out of the Gryffindor.
It stopped for a second and Brian weakly held up himself with a hand back on Sungjin's chest. And the creature sucked again.
"Kang Bra!" shouted Sungjin.
A bright white light shone from somewhere on the train. A light in the form of a Phoenix flew past their cabin, attacking the black creature. Then Brian fainted beside Sungjin. The lights of the train came back and Sungjin stood up to pick up Brian from the ground.
Dowoon transferred to the other seat to let Sungjin lie down Brian on the seat. The temperature rose to normal, but Sungjin was long sweating, worried since Brian was still cold and pale.
"Kang Bra, yah," Sungjin shook the younger. "Kang Bra —"
Sungjin stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked back and saw an adult.
