The Triwizard Tournament

Chapter Eight: That Spell

"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Jisoo glared. "What exactly are we going to talk about?"

"Cut the crap." Taehyung hissed. "I know you heard something back there."

Jisoo's thought suddenly went back to the time when she saw Taehyung talking with a beautiful lady at some secluded alley. Jisoo shook her head clear and went to stare back at the blond boy beside her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jisoo lied, averting her eyes away from his searching eyes. "Crap! I am obviously a lousy lier! He could totally tell that I'm lying." Jisoo thought.

"Oh, really?" Taehyung smirked, feeling amused by her uncomfortable face.

Taehyung suddenly stepped forward closer to her, trapping her on the tent wall. Jisoo's eyes widen and she couldn't help but whimper upon the closeness of their bodies.

"I.. I'm warning you!" Jisoo stuttered. "Don't come anymore closer, or i swear.."

"What?" Taehyung cut off. "What're going to do, huh?" Taehyung challenged and kept on closing in towards her blushing face.

Jisoo was horrified. Taehyung kept on leaning his face to hers and all she could do was close her eyes in anticipation of what's about to happen next but a sudden clearing of a throat interrupted them.

"Am I being a bother here?"

Taehyung immediately pushed his self away from Jisoo and faced Taeyong who just entered the tent with his blank face. While Jisoo was still unmoving from her spot. Taehyung just glared at the guy and went back to his seat.

"It's your turn." Taeyong broke the awkward silence, facing Jisoo.

Jisoo jerked, looking up to see Taeyong carrying something in his hand. Jisoo suddenly remembered their current situation. Taeyong just finished his task for less than an hour and to Jisoo's surprise, he sure was fast and she could even tell that he was unscathed.

"Took you long enough." Jisoo commented, even though she believed the opposite.

"Ha!" Taeyong chuckled. "Let's see about it." He mumbled, smirking while playing against the thing in his hands. "If you're lucky enough, you'll obtain your own clue for over an hour or two." He teased.

An hour before the image of Lee Taeyong being choked by the Cockatrice:

After spotting the beast, Taeyong immediately hid himself behind a boulder. Taeyong hopped off from his broomstrick and took out his wand, pointing it to his self.

"Geminio." Taeyong recited the spell calmly and he successfully created a identical copy of himself.

Taeyong smirked. He made his copy hopped on his broomstick and made them flew towards the beast and just what Taeyong had suspected, the cockatrice attacked it, choking his copy.

"Got you!" Taeyong cheered silently. "Fumos." He chanted and a smoke came out the tip of his wand, directing it towards the beast.

Taeyong quickly made his way towards the confused beast and when he was about 3 meters away, he immediately threw the crystal ball towards it and the beast got automatically sucked inside it.

*****

The Present:

Jisoo gave Taeyong an irritated look and eyed the thing in his hand. She could definitely tell that it's the clue that they should obtain. It's the same crystal ball that they're all given earlier, but his became different. There's something glowing inside it.
