"You Remember"

"What are we doing here, Chanyeol?" Hara whined while languidly wandering around the bookstore. She looked as if world-weariness was going to swallow her any second. They were now at 'Tomes and Scrolls', a specialist bookshop in Hogsmeade. Hara had cornered him at their common room just this morning to tell him that she was wholly sorry for their row days ago. Chanyeol had already expected that occurrence to happen, of course. Who on earth would take Chanyeol Park for granted, anyway? You have to be perfect to do so. In other words, you have to be Krystal.

After their short mandatory peace talks, Hara had then explicitly asked him to take her to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop which was located at the side street off the main road at Hogsmeade. Chanyeol thought she just wanted to show off their infamous relationship to people again. Some of her friends might have noticed their sudden detachment for days. And that just wouldn't do, would it? She'd become too haughty about the fact that she was Chanyeol Park's first official girlfriend. Her popularity had increased tenfold just because of that. And what better way to show off to people that they're together again than having a date with him at the place where almost all couples from Hogwarts had always loved to go?

Chanyeol, however, honestly detested the place. Gyuri had once asked him to take her there. The whole place screamed its tawdriness and utterly cheap setting, in which many couples were so eager to ignore as they seemed pretty busy snogging each other's brains out. The idea of even going in there again made him internally cringe. He was so close to opening his mouth and rejecting Hara's request until Kris's voice had suddenly entered his mind. "She already has a boyfriend."

So far, he had never seen Krystal with another guy alone, except with her brother. She had ignored him for days but that didn't stop him from spying on her. Hell, he couldn't even stop his own eyes from always turning their direction on her. It was madness. Merlin knew he'd probably really lost it. But the thought of Krystal going out with another guy just kept on torturing him and making his blood boil to a ridiculous degree. He wanted to know this guy who owned her heart. He wanted to know so he could kill him and throw his body to the lake. And then, Hara had to say it:

"Some Beauxbatons and Durmstrang couples are also coming to the place, you know… checking a few spots in Hogsmeade here and there." Just a few minutes after, Chanyeol found himself marching towards 'Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop' with his giddy girlfriend. They were about to go inside the shop, however, when he suddenly saw Krystal together with three Beauxbatons girls and her brother, Kris, making their way towards 'Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop'.

With a sudden swiftness he only had rather exhibited during Quidditch matches, Chanyeol had suddenly turned his heel and snatched Hara's arm before she could even step on the shop's doormat. His whiny girlfriend couldn't even speak a thing and could only mope when she realised they were then entering 'Tomes and Scrolls' instead, which was a store just across 'Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop'.

"Why the hell won't you answer me? And what are you watching in that blasted window? Tell me or I will—"

"For goodness' sake, Hara! You've been babbling ceaselessly in there! For once, please, would you just shut up? Just give me a fucking minute here, won't you?" He whispered loudly, looking evidently vexed at his companion while he continued on spying some people inside the Quill shop just across the street from the store they were now in. "Oh, geez, Chanyeol. I'm so sorry for being a little concerned of your loss of directions and let's say sanity. I'm just trying to be a thoughtful girlfriend here, when clearly, my boyfriend's as insensitive as a dead dementor!"

"Drop it!"

"No! I won't until you take me to that tea shop!" Hara shrieked loudly, gathering some curious stares from the customers and an aggravated warning stare from the shopkeeper. "Alright. Fine." Chanyeol gritted his teeth and cursed while callously pulling some galleons inside his robes. "Here! Go to Gladrags Wizardwear and buy all the useless clothes you want and I'll meet you there when I'm done with my shopping, then we'll go to that bloody tea shop." Hara squealed a bit when she saw the ridiculously ample amount of galleons presented to her and kissed her boyfriend sweetly, in which he responded in a very stiff manner. Obviously, though, she didn't care one bit as she started to walk out of the bookshop with a happy and smug face on her look to the shopkeeper. Chanyeol cursed again and continued to look outside through the store's window. It was a good thing that the glass window of the Quill shop where Krystal was inside was slightly larger, so he could properly see what they were doing inside, or rather, what she was doing.
