“Shhh!” Seokmin suddenly puts a finger on his lips, beckoning Mingyu to get closer. “I think
someone’s out there.”
They nearly jump when a pair of glowing yellow eyes peeking from the window.
“Holy Merlin!” Mingyu snatches his broomstick and rushes back to Seokmin’s side. “Put the
potion into a vial. We need to get him to an open space or else we’ll die!”
Seokmin obeys, pouring the lilac liquid into the vial he prepared.
“Hurry up, Seok!” Mingyu already mounts his broom, wand’s ready to open the door and kick
into the air before Minghao snatches them with his claws.
“Hold up!” He puts the cork on his vial before jumps into Mingyu’s broom.
Mingyu shouts the spell, instantly unlocking the door and they soar into the air. Minghao
roars as they squeeze into the space and escape from his grip. Flying in a broomstick doesn’t
make an impressive gap between them and Minghao. He has inhuman speed and strength,
legs kicking into the air and almost catching up with Mingyu’s Firebolt.
“Mingyu, faster!” Seokmin winces when the tip of Minghao’s claw grazes into the broom’s
neat brush.
“I’m trying!” Mingyu steers his broomstick to the left. They can see the night sky between the
corridors, so close to the open field.
Minghao catches the broom’s tail with his claws and effectively sending Mingyu and Seok-
min tumbling into the asphalt. Mingyu winces as he holds back the pain, pushing himself to
pull Seokmin up and run as fast as they can. He can see Minghao breaks his Firebolt into two
and his heart shatters.
They reach the Quidditch field in no shape to fight.
“Minghao, stop please!” Seokmin pleads when Minghao steps closer.
Funny that despite being in a monstrous form, Minghao still looks graceful as ever. His silver
fur gleaming under the moonlight. A pair of wild yellow eyes now focus solely on the two
human figures in front of him. There’s a low rumble in his throat when Seokmin moves
forward.
“Minghao, it’s me, Seokmin!”
Mingyu pulls him back by the neck of his robes. “What are you thinking?” he snaps, suddenly
steps forward and shield Seokmin’s body with his own. “If this is a dream, he wouldn’t hurt
us, right?”
