Author’s Notes (a little long, but please read):

This story is essentially a product of being inspired from a certain Nanwoo/Yeoncy moment in Saipan plus their trip to Universal Studios! Big disclaimer – I’m really more of a fanartist, not a fanfiction writer. There were really just specific scenes and dialogue that I had in my head – I mean, I did literally start off this project by doodling some comic panels for my reimagining of the scene…but I felt that there were emotions that I just couldn’t convey through drawing alone, so I decided to flesh them out a little bit by writing everything down. But God knows I have not bothered to write fanfiction since I was 12, so I do apologize for not being the best at world building and set-up.

I know to ‘show’ is a more effective storytelling technique than to ‘tell’, but I’m not quite sure how to do that in practice (especially considering 95% of my experience revolved around writing business dissertations rather than creative writing), so I apologize for the long narrative blocks with random bits of information scattered around. I hope you bear with me!

So I’ve divided the story into two parts, the first (and longer) one will have a narrative focusing on Yeonwoo, while the latter will center on Nancy. Also, for the sake of the story, I’m going to disregard their real life s or else it just wouldn’t work within the constraints I have in-universe. So in this story, Yeonwoo is in her seventh year, while Nancy is in her fifth (it’d just be so weird to have Yeonwoo 17 while Nancy’s 13 8_8). I changed some of the others’ ages too, so don’t compare it to their ages IRL ‘coz I intentionally mixed them all up for the story. I also made up a way to get around smart/mobile phones in the Wizarding World, and I call it the “enchanted messenger book”, please work with it! Think of it as two notebooks that work like instant messaging devices…so basically like Tom Riddle’s diary, except, you know, there’s actually another person at the end of the other notebook who reads and responds to the messages you write down…and not the trapped tormented soul of a deranged wizard supremacist who’s hell bent on killing the chosen one & eradicating Mugglekind hahahahahaha.

I’m sure my Twitter mutuals will know who I ult het-ship Nancy and Yeonwoo with after finishing this…so hopefully I can tweet some het shippy stuff without getting too much hate? ^^; LOL!  Also, this is really Nancy and Yeonwoo centric. All the other Momoland girls make appearances but they’re pretty minor, so I’m really sorry about that. I just wanted to focus on how the two girls felt, so it didn’t leave me with much room for anything else. Apologies if they seem a little shoehorned into the story. Oh yeah, I decided to use Ahin and Nayun’s English names – Cindy and Michelle, because, IDK…Hogwarts is supposed to be a British school, so it made more sense in my brain for me to use everyone’s English names if they already had (and actively use) one lol…except for Jaehyun…coz I’d just laugh my off if I called him Jeffrey (I blame the ‘my name is Jeff’ meme D: damnit!!!)

I sincerely did enjoy writing this though, and I hope you have at least half as much fun reading this little story, as I did writing it. Don’t forget to keep on streaming BAAM, my fellow Merries (or is it Merrys? lol)! Let’s hit 100M as soon as we can for our favorite girls <3

P.S. The Saipan scene insertion is pretty noticeable, but I think it’d still be fun if you looked for where I put in the specific lines. I also referenced a lot of things they’ve actually said/done in interviews or during live streams, I hope you catch them! ;)
