A Mysterious Ring

Part 2

Kim Jonghyunwatched the Slytherin leaving and did not move until he was sure hewas gone. He frowned. This was strange. He had never seen this guyaround Gryffindor's tower before today and he was almost sure that hedid not have any friend in his house. Actually he never saw himtalking with someone who was not a Slytherin. He got lost? Weird. Heshrugged. Maybe it was really it but he could not help but find itvery strange. Anyway, it was not his business and he had to go to thelibrary to finish his potion paper. He sighed. He sucked so much atit, he knew he would have to stay there for a long time, but it wasreally becoming an emergency to finish it. He started to walk. He didnot realized that the pinch on his finger, right under that prettythin ring with a green rock on the middle he had bought, that hasbeen bothering him all day, was gone.

Kibum wasalmost running in the corridors. How could he did not think about itearlier? It was so obvious now. If there was someone who could knowabout all this magical stuffs it would be him. It took him whatseemed to be forever to finally reach the library, on the fourthfloor, but when he finally was in, he immediately found who is waslooking for. Alone on one of the table, surrounded by books, hisround glasses on his nose, he was fascinated by what he was reading.The Slytherin smiled.

"Lee Jinki!"he said loudly.

Some peoplestopped what they were doing to send him a contraried look, but hedid not really mind because the one he just had called had not evenmoved a bit. He sighed. This boy, seriously. He took a few steps andthen grabbed a random chair to sit in front of him.

"Jinki!" hesaid again.

Finally, theyoung man raised his head.

"Oh, hi."

And, then, heget back into his books. The Slytherin could not help but let outanother sigh. He took the book and put it far away from Jinki.

"I need yourhelp."

"I'm notgoing to do your homework if it's what you want."

"What are yousaying? I never asked you something like that."

"Oh? That'strue."

Kibum rolledhis eyes.

"Anyway."he resumed "I got a bit confused lately about something and..."

"If it'sabout someone you know I'm not good with social interactions..."

"By Merlin,would you just let me finish?!"

He had almostyelled that and more people raised their heads to look at him thistime. He heard some "shut up" and even the librarian glared athim, and only let go when he articulated a "I'm sorry".

"Youshouldn't scream, it's a library here." Jinki said.
