@?. jung hoseok *somehow he was already feeling just the tiniest bit better about the outlook for the future. Hoseok would help him. Together they would get away and be together. Be happy. The only time he truly felt happy was when he was by Hoseoks side. Eventually he was able to stop crying, his tears finally stopping. The cute Eskimo kiss you gave him surely made him smile. He nodded once, wiping his face gently into the sleeve of his shirt before he looked at you again* Everything is going to be okay. *he agreed in a quiet voice. There was a few moments of obvious hesitation before he leaned in and pressed a quick gentle kiss to your forehead, his cheeks burning as he sat back again*

@?. min yoongi *Hoseok watched your worried face. He knew what you were saying was true. There was a huge risk ahead of them, but on the other hand, he was ready to take it. For your safety. You are worth it. His hands slowly rubs your back, soothingly, to calm you and your distressed heart. * I'm scared too Yoonie, but... *He kissed the side of your head gently.* It's worth trying. We have a whole year ahead. We can have a plan A and B and as many as we need. Furthermore, we can think about protective spells, potions, and other stuff. If that doesn't work we will run far away. We have time Yoonie. We can plan this carefully. They will have to kill me to get to you. *Even if you lack the courage, Hoseok had it enough to spare. He believes in you and he know how strong you are, and that also gave him strength and determination. He gently pushed you back, and he wiped every tear, giving you his best smile. To cheer you even more he leans in and gave you an Eskimo kiss, rubbing your nose till you finally smile.* We are going to be okay.

@?. jung hoseok *he wanted to believe it was possible, that you and he could really run away together and live a secret life, different names. that nobody would ever find you again. But, he found it so hard to think that his family really wouldn't find him. He knew they would look forever, they would send people for him. He exhaled slowly and moved into your arms again, holding you in a tight hug as he sniffled quietly* I.. I will think about it. I'm just.. I'm scared, Hoseok.. I'm scared of what would happen if they found us amongst muggles.. They wouldn't hesitate to kill as many people as they need to drag me home.. *he nuzzled his face into your neck, breathing out a quiet sigh* But.. Okay.. One day we can go. Once we figure out how to properly to all this. How to properly hide ourselves. And.. If we have to run, we will. I would run forever as long as I'm by your side..

@?. min yoongi *Judging? You and your emotions? Never. Actually, Hoseok loves those moments. When you are breaking your barriers and let yourself feel and have emotions. It took him months before you trusted him enough to relax and let go of 'Min Yoongi persona' that your family built. Or when you realized that Hoseok family don't really care about all blood status or differences, and let them love you. Enduring his mother warm hugs or indulging his father and talks with him about literature, or even let Jiwoo play with your hair or play dress up. That's probably his favorite memories. Watching you with his family, all happy and relaxed. But seeing you so scared and broken now broke his heart. He caught every tear, rubbing your cheek soothingly.* Yoonie I would do anything for it to work. We can use protective spells, make sure people around don't know our real names so even if someone asks about us, they wouldn't know. Do you think that they would look for you in a place like that? If they do, we will run, hides in mountains, far, far away. I won't let you go. I won't let them destroy you. I promise.

@?. jung hoseok *you were the only one he would ever dare cry in front of, you'd seen it so many times now he knew you would never judge him for it. hearing about how much your family seemed to really care for him just made it harder, he was properly crying now, his tears slipping down his cheeks to be caught by your thumbs. your family had always treated him with the love he had lacked growing up, they had taught him so many things he never would of learned otherwise. he knew he would never be able to thank them enough. hearing your offer for moving in together made his heart skip a beat and he lifted his head to look at you again, his eyes still shining with tears but now seemed more determined* Hoba, do you think it would work? *he whispered out, almost worried somebody would hear if he spoke in a normal voice about things like this* We could live like muggles? Be safe? Truly be safe?

@?. min yoongi *His thumb gently massaged your cheek soothingly, ready to catch every tear. He listened to each word quietly, feeling as your frame slightly shiver with emotions. It was so wrong. Forcing someone as incredibly sensitive and gentle as you, to fight on the dark side. His heart was full of anger, and although he had never met your family personally, he had such a great dislike for them.* Yoonie, my mother has been treating you like her own child for a long time, and so is my father. Jiwoo always ask in her letters 'how my brothers are doing'. They love you so, so much. You are part of my family, and you will never be alone. *He moves closer to plant a soft kiss on your forehead and smiles. * I was planning on asking you about this much later, but this is a good moment to bring it up. Would you like to move in with me, after graduation? It's a small two-bedroom flat with muggle neighborhood all around, which I inherited from my grandmother in London. It's not much, but we could hide there, get lost in the crowd, surround ourselves with protective spells. Nobody would know. No one would try to look for Min Yoongi in muggle district. You don't have to give me an answer now, but just know, we could create there our own safe space, our heaven. I won't let them hurt you, I will protect you.

@?. jung hoseok *he didnt even need to look at you to know how his words made you feel, he could hear it in the way you spoke. he was almost too scared to look at you, scared of breaking down when he looks into your eyes. when you mention the spilling orange juice on yourself all those years ago when he first met you he can't help but smile fondly. things were so easy back then. and though he was scolded for spending time with you, he was not punished. when your hand was on his face he finally looked at you again, wanting nothing more than to believe what you were saying to him. but how could he? how could he follow his heart when he knew what his family was capable of* Hoba..... *he trailed not even sure what he could say, you'd had this discussion with him so many times, what more could he say. he closed his eyes as well when your forehead rested against his, he listened to everything you had to say, breathing in a shaky breath as he fought to hold back tears* please.. Hoseok.. steal me away then.. it's the only way to get away from them.. *he choked softly on his words, his hand tightening around yours again* they already told me.. if i don't stand with them when the time comes.. i die. i want to stand with you, hoba.. i want to fight by your side.. the more time i spend with you the more i see how wrong they all are. i can't... i can't ing stand it. having to stand there and lie through my ing teeth about you, about those who are not pureblood. it makes me ing sick.

@?. min yoongi *He calmly watched your face as he listened to your words, his heartbreaking into a thousand pieces.* Yoonie, no one is born evil, it's our environment that shape us. My blood status wasn't important when I spilled orange juice on myself, during our first train ride. You gave me your sweater, and I was so scared, but you decide to sit with me, telling me funny stories. You were the first person to tell me, that my color changing hair looks great, and I will never forget that. That kind, pure hearted Yoongi is still there. *Hoseok moves closer, his hand slowly cupped your face, thumbs gently rubbing your cheeks.* You are not bound to this fate. There is so much light inside you, so much kindness and delicacy. You will face the darkness, and you will defeat it. Your blood and family hold no power over your heart desire. The dark does not hold sway yet. Not over you and not over me. *He smiled and then rested his forehead against yours, closing his eyes.* When the time come, I would like to fight, yes. However, there is something even more important to me, and that's you. I will do everything that's in my power, to keep you in the light. I will steal you away if I have to. *He whispered, not letting you move away.* If I see you among them ... I will have no reason to fight anymore. I will walk into the first death spell cast my way. The future without you, no matter how bright, means nothing, Yoongi.

@?. jung hoseok *he watches you curiously as you worked over his stone, curious of exactly what spell you were placing on it. his eyes darted between both the stones, looking up at you when you gave it back to him. he carefully hung the chain from around his neck again, listening to your explanation of what you did to them* ah.. okay, i understand, hoseok. *he held the stone carefully in his hand, gently tapping it three times to check it. he looks at you when you squeezed his hand, moving closer to you again as he linked his fingers together with yours* ...you should care about yourself more, jung hoseok.. *he mumbled softly, his eyes sad but understanding as he watched you. he shook his head and scoffed, turning his gaze to look out the window again* you think i have a bright future? when the war begins i will be forced to stand beside my family unless i figure out some other way. there is no bright future for me, only darkness and death.. *he lifted your hand, pressing a gentle kiss to your knuckles before he sighed quietly* you on the other hand.. you are smart, you are caring, you are sunshine, warmth, passion... you deserve a full long life. you deserve to not have to worry for your safety.. your family deserves safety. you and the jung family are the most welcoming and warm family i have ever met.. despite who i am you all welcome me with open arms.. hoseok i will protect you with my life, i will make sure you don't leave them without you.

@?. min yoongi He gently took your stone and laid it on the ground, his own joined not long later. He focused on them, muttering a complicated spell, before he gently taps each stone with a tip of his wand, making it shine with purple light. It slowly died down.* Hmm... *To test his spell, he pressed his finger to amethyst and tapped it three times, slowly. Tektite shine with green light before it disappear again. He nodded, satisfied with the result, and returned the stone, hiding his own under shirt.* We are connected now. Tap it three times and I will know you think of me, it will be green and warm. If it starts to pulsate with yellow light, it means that I'm in danger, red when I'm hurt. I create this spell to be able to communicate with my family and with you. *He explained calmly, pointing to the watch on his wrist, which he touched three times. After a few seconds, it started glowing before it slowly died down, and he smiled.* Jiwoo... *When you moved closer, trying to comfort him, he slowly took your hand and squeezed it, looking at your face.* I know Yoonie and it scares me so much. I don't really care about myself, but knowing that you would follow me...? You have such a bright future before you, I would never forgive myself. No matter what will happen, you have to fight and survive. You are Min Yoongi, the genius and my beloved best friend. I will fight to make sure you can live your life happily ever after.

@?. jung hoseok *rises to his feet when you pull his hand, following behind you obediently as you lead him from the room. the path was familiar and he knew where you were leading him before it even appeared before him. he knew nobody would be in here at this time of the day, and you knew that as well. many times had we come up here to spend some time alone away from every one else. away from where he had to keep up fake images. his gaze focused on outside, listening to what you say quietly and giving you time to speak. he felt his heart slowly break when you spoke about your family going into hiding, things were becoming too real now, too real and too scary. he didn't say anything for a moment, his thoughts running wild. he almost wanted to just ask you to run away with him, to get the hell out of here before things went south, but he knew it would never happen. you weren't the type to run away. he looked over at you again when you ask for the stone and he nods, carefully removing the chain from around his neck to hand it over to you* Hoba... you realise i won't let anything happen to you... you don't need to leave directions, i won't allow you to be harmed.. *he mumbled softly, his hand resting gently against your knee as he rubbed slow circles over it* don't you dare fight me on it. if anything were to ever happen to you i won't survive it. if you go down, i go with you.. so.. you better not...

@?. min yoongi *Hoseok looked at the entrance, knowing that the break was approaching and that other students will join them soon. Bringing up such topics in here could be problematic. So he stands up, making Minnie sway on his shoulder, a then he pulled your hand.* Come with me, Yoonie. *He led you through familiar corridors and shortcuts to astronomy tower. It was your safe spot. He sat next to your usual spot, setting Minnie down on the floor and watching in wandering around. * So… *He took one deep breath and slowly let go, gaze fixed on the view.* This summer I spend traveling around with my sister looking for a place where my family would be able to hide and blend in. People thinks that it may start next year, since Harry Potter will be of legal age. There are a lot of stupid gossips going around, but I wanted to be ready regardless. I will leave you directions, so if anything happens to me, you could tell them about it. But it would be amazing if you could come for Christmas and Easter, we don't know how much time we have left, and it's our last year, I'm wondering what will happen later. *He spoke with such tremendous calm, the voice was devoid of any emotion. It was as if he was assuming the worst, but someone who knew him even a little, knew he had spent a lot of time thinking about all the possibilities. Hoseok wasn't reckless, he only takes calculated risks. But he would do anything for his best friend. * Give me your stone for a moment, please?
