Minghao who made it like this and who knows what he has been thinking under his
consciousness, so Seokmin takes a note not to trust everything that will happen soon.
They’re in Minghao’s dream now, after all.
“So where we can find him now?” Seokmin stands up and takes out his wand. The weigh of
cedar wood in his hand feels comforting. “Shall we try Slytherin Dungeon?”
“Maybe, it’s rest hours. Minghao will usually entertain himself in the Slytherin common
room with his friends,” Mingyu mutters. “But I’m really curious of what’s outside.”
“Huh?” Seokmin walks closer to the window, peering at the scenery of Hogwarts’ backyard.
He looks up only to find the moon on its peak. “Oh, it’s full moon.”
Right after he says it, a soft howling sound echoes around the yard.
Seokmin and Mingyu stare at each other. Mingyu’s whisper comes out a little shaky, “Ming-
hao might be there.”
“How do you know?”
“Do you notice how he always retreats to his house’s dorm whenever it’s full moon? Like he’s
scared of it. What if he actually hides something away from us? A trauma from the past that’s
related to the full moon,” Mingyu says as he takes out his wand.
“But Mingyu, I don’t think it’s a trauma—”
“This is his dream, his nightmare. And something might be after him!”
Another howl is heard and that’s their cue to stop hesitating and just spring into actions.
Mingyu sprints off without actually listening to his friend and Seokmin has no choice but to
follow. They blast out from the Hospital Wing, passing through the maze-like corridors in a
blur, skipping steps on the moving stairs just to get to the backyard as fast as they can.
Mingyu’s lungs are burning when they finally reach the ground. Seokmin nearly collapses as
he tries to catch his ragged breath.
“I can’t see anything,” Seokmin says between gasps.
“Me too. But my gut is saying that he’s out here, Seok.”
There’s a rustling sound from their left, followed by a flash of unknown figure running deeper
into the Forbidden Forest. Seokmin’s eyes widen as he catches a glimpse of silver hair, “Gyu,
it’s him!”
