"That was the weirdest thing ever." Chaeyoung commented as she and Yeri walked down the never-ending halls, just having left their Potions class and on their way to eat lunch.

"Huh?" Yeri whipped her head around to face the other Ravenclaw.

Chaeyoung sighed. "You've got to learn to pay attention, Yeri. I meant the thing in Potions class. You know, the whole 'Jungkook's potion exploding' and 'Mingyu flying backwards' situation; which, might I add, was somewhat delightful on my part."

Yeri shook her head, still frazzled from what had just taken place in the class.

"I still don't understand what happened." Chaeyoung said, as if she were trying to solve a puzzle. "Potions don't just explode, do they?"

"I mean, they can if you put the wrong ingredients into them." Yeri said, eyeing Chaeyoung out of the corner of her eye.

"Wasn't it just sitting there though?" Chaeyoung persisted. "I swear it was."

"Well unless Jungkook has some sort of telekinesis ability that no one else in the entire school is aware of, then I think it's safe to assume that the entire thing was just a freak accident." Yeri said pointedly, having become somewhat frustrated as soon as Chaeyoung had brought up the topic.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Chaeyoung said. "You don't want to talk about Jungkook anymore."

"Thank you." Yeri said exasperatedly before turning her head forward.

"By the way," Chaeyoung added, "you're going to Hogsmeade, right?"

"Right, Hogsmeade!" Yeri had almost forgotten. "Of course I'm going! Some girl named Yuju gave me the flyer for it, it looks really interesting."

"I'm going too!" Chaeyoung said excitedly. "Are you going with anyone yet?"

"Oh, uh," Yeri paused momentarily, "I was actually hoping I could go with you; if you don't mind, of course."

"Of course not!" Chaeyoung responded enthusiastically. "Jaehyun invited me to go with him; you should totally come with us."

"Wait," Yeri said, "you're going with Jaehyun?"

"Yeah..." Chaeyoung trailed off, frowning slightly, "...oh, do you not like him or something?"

"No, no, I-" Yeri felt as if she were put into an awkward position, "I just don't want to intrude on your guys' day at Hogsmeade. It kind of sounds like he wanted to spend the day with just you."

"Oh..." Chaeyoung's cheeks flushed slightly, much to Yeri's satisfaction. "I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you came along-"

"Trust me." Yeri assured Chaeyoung. "Jaehyun is too nice for his own good. Even if he didn't want me to go, he would still insist that I come along. Just pretend I never asked."

"Are you sure, Yeri?" Chaeyoung said worriedly. "I don't want you to be by yourself at Hogsmeade."

Yeri laughed. "I'll be fine, Chae; besides, it's not like you're my only friend. I'm sure I'll find at least someone."

"I sure hope so," Chaeyoung said, grinning at Yeri playfully, "for your own sake."

Yeri swatted Chaeyoung, the two laughing as they made their way over to a table.

"Can they get any more obvious?" Yeri heard Seokjin grumble under his breath. She turned to look at the commotion, only to see Seulgi and Jimin blatantly flirting on the opposite side of the table; something she wished she'd never turned to look at.
