Days after the First Task:

Taehyung was now seated at the head of the table inside the Shrieking Shack – a secret place where believed to be the Headquarters of Voldemort in the past. And in front of taehyung were his father’s followers. His father was a known pureblood that ruled a large group of people who have the same principle as him – a principle against muggles.

“Are you listening to us, young master?” Baekhyun interrupted Taehyung’s thoughts.

“You have to win this Tournament in order for us to start the plan. It is your father’s will for you to accomplish this no matter what.” Chanyeol added.

By this time, Taehyung growled in annoyance and the people present in the room became silent when they noticed his dark expression. Taehyung eyed them silently and then sighed, feeling frustrated. He knew that he shouldn’t get angrey at them since they too were just being ordered by their fathers to deliver the message.

“And so?” Taehyung finally said after the long silence. “What’s this PLAN anyway?”

And there was silence once again. Taehyung knew that they knew about the plan but refuse to tell him. He knew that he couldn’t make them say it, so he decided to just give up for their own sake.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t enter the tournament just to be defeated.” Taehyung stated to which they all seemed to be relieve about. “But you better tell my father to not do anything. I don’t need help in winning this competition.”

Prof. Bom, the Ball’s coordinator were tapping her foot on the marble floor nervously. Her eyes were searching the crowd. Most of the students from the three schools were already inside the great hall with their partners while the three champions were still unseen.

“Just look at prof. Bom.” Joshua snorted upon seeing the teacher being so nervous.

“You’re so mean, Joshua-sunbae.” Yerin, Joshua’s partner commented.

“Sorry about him, Yerin-ah. That’s one of his assets, actually.” Jeonghan said, making joshua pout.

“Anyway, we should head inside the hall now.” Yuju, Jeonghan’s partner suggested. “I’m sure Sowon sunbae and Sungcheol sunbae are in there already.”

Just when the four of them came inside, they were welcomed by Sowon and Seungchul who came together for the yule Ball. And just when they gathered together, Bobby and Yunyheong arrived with two beautiful girls from Beauxbaton.

“Hey guys!” Bobby beamed. “Meet my partner, Lisa.”

“Hi!” Lisa greeted.

“And this is my partner, Rosè” Yunhyeong introduced.

“Hello.” Rosè smiled brightly.

“Wow. How did you manage to find a partner so fast?” Sungcheol asked in amazement.

“Yeah. Just yesterday, Bobby was losing his mind about not having a partner.” Sowon added.

“Well, we have to thank Jisoo for that.” Yunhyeong answered, looking beside him towards his partner.

“Speaking of Jisoo..” Sowon craned her neck, looking for their friend. “Who is she going with?”

“You’re late!” Prof. Bom nagged. “The champions are supposed to be gathered here minutes ago!”

“We’re sorry professor.” Taeyong stated, being the perfect student that he is. “My partner got some wardrobe malfunction, that’s why we got late.” Taeyong explained and Seulgi quickly bowed her head, feeling sorry for their delay.

The professor eyed Taeyong from head to toe and got impressed by the way he look. He was wearing a suit above his white formal shirt and it was partnered with a choker belt around his neck.  His hair were styled nicely and his sharp face were highlighted with the help of a simple manly make-up.

“And where’s your partner, Kim Taehyung-ssi?” Prof. Bom asked upon seeing taehyung standing there, all by himself. “Don’t tell me you haven’t got anyone?” The professor’s expression became gloomy and she started to panic. “Kim Taehyung! How dare you! It’s a tradition that the three champions must be the first to dance! What will you do if you don’t have anyone to dance with?”

“It’s not my fault that everyone’s afraid of me, professor.” Taehyung mumbled.

“Ah! I can’t breath. Ah, my neck hurts!” Prof. Bom groaned in annoyance and eyed him back carefully.

Well, at least he dressed up nicely was what she thought. Taehyung was wearing a closed suit above his white colared shirt with matching black necktie. His blond hair was styled well and his make-up were a great help in highlighting his sharp features.

 “And where the hell id Kim Jisoo?” She asked and they all craned their neck to look for any sign of her.

“I’m here!”

Everyone turned towards the staircase. And there stood Jisoo with her black ball gown. Her straight hair were dyed to black and her face were colored with simple but elegant make up. Everyone outside the hall must have been looking at her with so much adoration that she started to get awkward.

“I’m so sorry, Prof. Bom. There had been some family problem that I had to take care of.” Jisoo explained once she and her partner got down from the stairs.

Both Taeyong and Taehyung couldn’t stop staring at Jisoo. She was indeed a sight to be remembered. Her features were highlighted with her gown that were embedded with pearls and other precious black stones and here slender arms were covered with see-through
