Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Wortty Hogwarts Teach us something please-whether we be old and bald or young with scabby knees -


On the first day at Hogwarts, when Sera heard the school's theme song, she thought, "This castle will teach you more than magic and discipline." Fast forward to the present Halloween night, as students bustle up and down to their dormitories, prefects are diligently keeping watch, particularly on any first years wandering alone.

All of them were doing their jobs with the exception one Gryffindor - A third year.
K in his alarming rate of strength completely flocked their group put from the rest of the fleeing lions and eagles racing up the stairs for the towers. He ducked them down instead with the budgers going the opposite way and nearly will they all slipped into somewhere his intuition is telling him to go, if it hadn't been for Heeseung recognising the direction in the last second.


"Wait!", blustered him, ducking out of K's grip on his cloak and he widens his eyes to all of them. "Why are we going to the dungeons? To the girl's bathroom of all places?!"

When he said it like that, they all come into the same conclusion as they stood now together in a deserted side corridor. With Jungwon and Jake, along Sera - the three had just turned to look for K, for him to answer why on earth he carried them there when he suddenly slumped down the floor.

It is not only him though. In only a few seconds later, Jay, Sunghoon and Ni-ki goes down like they were put into some kind of 'Immobulus' but the spell can only immobilizes the target. There had been no mention of the victim looking like they had seen something the others hadn't seen and afte that, they all passed out, cold and hard as a stone.

Jake bit his lip, now having the nagging intuition as K and almost his hand reached out for Sera although before he could do, Heeseung was the one to reach out for him to hide behind a large stone gryffin.

"What about Jungwon and Sera?", asked him, aiming to get out of there again and was pulled by Heeseung.

"Someone is coming", Heeseung hissed, putting a finger to his lips. Still, the beating of his heart is maddening in worry for Sera and Jungwon.

Peering around together from behind the statue, Jake and Heeseung saw the two looking petrified about something. They peered more, only to see the familiar black flowing robes of some wizard with a hooked nose, crossing the corridors and disappeared from view, letting them see in the light there, how he is merely a ghost.

Recognition crept onto Jake's face, understanding why Sera and Jungwon is reacting so shocked. "It.. it's an incorporeal form of the previous headmaster?", stated him.

"As in Professor Severus Snape?", whispered Heeseung in the same state of shock as Jake. "Everything in the past is really repeating itself"

"Does this mean we have to follow him?", The two heard Sera asking Jungwon in front of them and they peered once again to see the latter not being himself.

"Do we have a choice? I don't think we have one. Let's just follow it and be done with it", said Jungwon, his voice irremarkably different in it's tone, as if he is in a trance.

Quietly as possible, he grab onto the girl's hand in his before the two followed where the ghost of Snape had went off to, slowly and silently while at the same time, ignoring the fear gnawing inside and then, Jungwon stopped walking, scrunching his nose in disgust.
