Love Maze In The Wizarding World

Nineteen

So do you like it? I wrote as I tried to make a conversation

Yes, one-word replies. Did something happen

What's wrong?

Nothing still small replies. It makes me feel that the other person is not interested.

Did you wanna tell me something?

What?

You wrote first so do you wanna talk or what? Why isn't he giving me full-sentence answers?

I just wanted to see how it works

The moment Tae wrote this and I saw. all the texts above disappeared in the form of dust. It was a beautiful sight to witness. I wondered how Tae might have reacted but his reply made it all clear.

Woah, that was beautiful.

'What a sudden change in mood' I thought, Maybe he is pleased to get rid of it.
It may be embarrassing for him not for me. 

Yes, I never used this before to communicate.
It wasn't a lie. I never had someone to talk to through parchments.

Really? You do magic but still seem so sad sometimes.

This was a very unexpected response

Sad? What do you mean? I was flustered

Well, you were sad when you met me! You are also very scared of your parents.
I mean you aren't a kid.

I must admit he writes fast his replies are immediate and true.

Whenever I met you, I was confused most of the time. You know our first meeting was unexpected.   I cleared, I am not scared just confused.

What about your parents then? Why are you in "being watched" situations?

'He is expressive with his writing skills' I thought, Quite impressive.

That's a long story.

'And a sad one I said to myself

I have time.

So he really wanna know. It was a sensitive topic I guess, not so sure because I have never discussed it after it happened and nor did anyone else.

'What harm can it be to tell? He already knows everything' I convinced myself.

I am at a loss not because I don't wanna tell him but because I don't wanna write too much.

I don't wanna write too long

I wrote this and the phone rang, which was still in my bedroom.

It was Tae. I picked up

"Tell me now" his voice was as usual deep and curious and sounded healthy. I guess it was tiring last time.

"Why do you wanna know?" I asked flatly.

"I wanna know. I don't know anything about you" he said and I found myself hearing this for the first time.

"You do?"

"Of course! What kinda friend would I be, if I don't know anything about you"

I took a deep sigh. There is a first time for everything I guess

"You remember I told you that my father works at a department which caught people doing Oblivation" I began.

"Yes, but what people he caught?" He eagerly answered.

"It magic is done to make people forget stuff"   It's so wired to talk to muggles about common magical things.

"Oh"

"So when it was my sixth year in school, I mean last year I mistakenly did a huge mistake and I am facing its consequences now" I rapped in one breath and Tae stayed silent.

"Would you explain?" I didn't want to but what else can he understand with so little information? So I went on.

"I didn't have any friends at school. And one day I don't know but I obliviated one of my bullies with my wand. I mean I never tried the spell but before I could do anything, he was on the floor, forgetting the last bits of his life"

Tae is a good listener, He patiently listened until I stopped.

"And?" He asked

"And as I have already told you my father works at the 'Inspection of Obligation department' and he has a big reputation because ever since he worked at this post every single person has been inspected and punished but this record was broken by me," I said so rapidly that I was also surprised by myself. It just burst out of me, I wanted to say this for so long to scream that I didn't do anything intentionally.

"So you were punished ?" His voice sounded scared.

"No, but I am being watched ever since. They say that guy I obliviated forgot everything. It was the worst day of my life" 

I remember how my Father felt humiliated that day, he was so angry. He didn't listen to a word I said.

My voice broke in the end and tears rolled down my cheeks. It is hard when no one believes that you didn't mean to harm, not even your parents.

"If you have the worst day, I bet you have the best day too" Tae spoke after a while. He was trying to cheer me up.

"I do" I confirmed

"I would love to hear it" he spoke lightly, now he wanna change the topic, he is complicated.

"It's the hosoek," I said

"Hoseok!" Tae repeated

"Yes, Hoseok"
This memory was still alive in me like like everything happened yesterday.
