Blood Ties- BTS X Hogwarts AU

Chapter Twenty One

"What are you doing here?" A voice came out of the shadows.

Jungkook's heart stopped for a moment. No no no we can't afford to get in trouble now! We have to save—

"Yoongi? Jimin?"

"I asked you a question, Kim Namjoon. What are you doing here? And what is Jin trying to do? He knows that I can see him, right?"

Jungkook opened his eyes. Standing in front of Namjoon (and the invisible Jin, who wasn't so invisible because one leg was sticking out from the invisibility cloak) were none other than Yoongi and Jimin.

Hobi and Tae peeked their heads out of the room they were hiding in.

Yoongi stared at them and raised his eyebrows. "Hello? I'm waiting for somebody to talk. What are you doing here? Jin, where did you get that Invisibility Cloak? Jungkook, why are you out of the infirmary?"

Jimin stood behind Yoongi, glancing furtively around. His eyes seemed to be searching for someone.

Yoongi growled in irritation at the silence that met him. "If you're going to be like that, you should just get back to your dormitories."

Jin cleared his throat. "Here's a question for you: What are you doing here?"

Yoongi opened his mouth to speak, but Jimin tugged on his sleeve. "Aren't we supposed to be looking for—"

Yoongi slapped a hand over Jimin's mouth. There was another long silence.

Jungkook broke it. "Looking for who?"

Yoongi sighed. "Jimin!"

"Sorry."

"Okay, what's going on here?" Hoseok said loudly, then quickly realized that they were out of bed in the middle of the night. It would be a bad thing if they were caught.

Yoongi cleared his throat. "I'm here because I saw Minguk sneaking out of our Common Room. I followed him out. Then Jimin here decided to follow me!"

Jimin pouted. "I was just worried about you!"

Jungkook heard none of their bickering. Minguk had sneaked out of the Slytherin Common Room? Where had he gone? And... the biggest question of all: Was Minguk involved in the kidnappings?

Jungkook suddenly caught on to something Yoongi said. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that again hyung?"

Yoongi stared. "I said, Jimin—"

"No, before that!"

"What, that Minguk was talking to himself?"

"Yes! You know, Minguk has been acting strange ever since he came back from Christmas break. He keeps talking to himself, as if someone is in his brain. As if someone is telling him what to do. What if Minguk is involved in the kidnappings somehow?"

There was silence.

Yoongi turned that over in his brain. Minguk, possessed? Was that even possible? Then Yoongi realized what Jungkook had said.

"Wait hold on, what kidnappings?"

Namjoon quickly filled Jimin and Yoongi in on the situation. 

Meanwhile, Jungkook sat and thought. What if I can see the future on demand? In the past, I've needed to be in a state of shock or excitement. What about now? Almost as soon as he thought this, the edges of his vision turned dark.

Darkness. The Forbidden Forest. Namjoon held up his wand and whispered "Lumos!"

The woods were lit with an eerie glow. Jungkook stepped forward, also lighting his wand. They walked forward in silence. Then, they heard the sound of a branch cracking to their right. 

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in!"

Yoongi glanced to his right and saw Jungkook go rigid. No one else seemed to notice.

Jin couldn't stand waiting any longer. "Please, we have to go! I need to save my mother." His voice cracked on the last word.

Taehyung agreed. "We can't waste anymore time talking here. It's almost midnight! We need to go!"

Namjoon didn't know what to say. He loved to have everything under control, and this whole situation lacked just that: control.

Jimin rocked back and forth on his heels. Something extremely dark was happening, and he wasn't sure if he should be involved. After all, what did his father always say? Keep your head down, don't get into trouble, and win. But Jimin still wanted to help.

And Hoseok just wanted to help his friends in whatever way he could. He looked around at his friends, and was about to speak, when suddenly Jungkook gasped.

"What's wrong Kookie?" Jin asked in concern.

Every part of Jungkook was shaking, even his eyes. But his voice was not shaky, instead, it seemed almost confident, as if Jungkook knew something. "We have to leave now." Jungkook stated quietly.

"Are you sure—?" One look into Jungkook's eyes, and Yoongi was convinced. Jungkook had seen the future, and he knew the outcome of their coming battle.

"Let's go. Stay together, and whatever you do, don't despair. Trust each other. We have to trust each other to get through this." Jungkook naturally took the lead. None of them seemed to object to the youngest leading them into the unknown.

They slipped out of the school without much trouble. Once, Peeves passed them in a state of excitement. Even Peeves knew that something dark was happening.

And then they were out of the building. No one knew they were gone. The moon was a bright sphere of light, but not even its light could pierce the darkness of their destination, the Forbidden Forest.

Then there came a flash of light from inside the forest. That couldn't be good.

A wolf howled in the distance, its voice a loud growl. 

It was cold, too. Their breath came out in puffs of white smoke.

There was only one thing to do. In spite of the large sense of foreboding each of the seven boys felt, they entered the dark, freezing forest, armed with nothing but their wands.

Darkness. The Forbidden Forest. Namjoon held up his wand and whispered "Lumos!"

The woods were lit with an eerie glow. Jungkook stepped forward, also lighting his wand. Where had he seen this before? They walked forward in silence. Nothing jumped out at them.

Then, they heard the sound of a branch cracking to their right. Hoseok whimpered and moved closer to Yoongi. Jimin held tight to Taehyung's arm. Namjoon and Jin stepped forward after Jungkook.

Jungkook gasped. A flare of light shattered the darkness, drowning everything in a fiery cascade of color. When the color finally faded from Jungkook's eyes, someone was standing in front of him.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in!"

A/N: Looks like the boys are in trouble 😬
