“Go to sleep.” Tiffany’s father said to the girls who were in the room. “We’re sending you back to England tomorrow.”

Tiffany opened to speak, but before she was able to do so, her father had quickly left the room.

“He’s mad at you for saving me, huh?” Taeyeon said as she held Tiffany’s hand tightly, smiling awkwardly at her as she did so.

“Yes.” Tiffany replied with a sad smile. “But I’d rather have it that way, if you had died..:” She continued, her eyes turning watery just from the idea of Taeyeon died.

“If I had died you would’ve died, literally.” Taeyeon said with that crooked smile Tiffany adored so much. “But we’re both here, so I’m glad.” They looked at each other deeply in such an intense and feel-filled gaze that anyone would’ve been able to tell how in love they were.

“Do you think we should hit them?” Hyoyeon said as she grimaced at their corny friends.

“We should puke on them.” Jessica replied. “Since they’re here, together and being incredibly mushy while my girlfriend is god knows where, kidnapped and with the risk of being dead.” She continued, somewhat reproachful.

“I’m sorry, but they were going to kill my girlfriend right in front of me a few hours ago in case you don’t remember.” Tiffany said with a pout as she possessively hugged Taeyeon as close to her body as it was possible while Taeyeon just grinned like a little kid since her head was conveniently, Tiffany had unconsciously positioned her like that she didn’t do it on purpose, placed on top of Tiffany’s chest.

“This is not a tragedy competition.” Hyoyeon said as she sighed at the childish behavior of her friends. “Let’s just go to sleep.”

“So… Tiffany and Taeyeon are sleeping in one bed,” Sunny started. “Sooyoungie and I are sleeping in another one…”She said as she shifted he gaze to Hyoyeon and Jessica’s direction.

“First Yuri is kidnapped… and now I have to share bed with Hyoyeon?!” Jessica exclaimed. “What can get worse?”

“Hey!” Exclaimed Hyoyeon playfully. “What’s so wrong with sleeping with me? You’re not the best sleeping companion either, you know?!”

And so they started a playful banter that the others were watching intently while shaking their heads.

“Are you aware Jessica is doing it not to think too much about Yuri?” Sooyoung murmured to Sunny who just nodded as she saw Jessica playfully bantering with Hyoyeon.

“I’m sure Hyoyeon knows as well,” Sunny said.  “Just look at how she’s joking around with Jessica, at this time, Hyoyeon would’ve already kicked Jessica and just gone to sleep.”

“You’re right.” Sooyoung said as she smiled at her friends.

“I’m always right, Sooyoungie.” Sunny said with a cute smile as she eyed her girlfriend.

“Not always…” Sooyoung replied with ease.

“Then tell me, when am I not right?” Sunny asked cheekily.

“When you say you’re not beautiful.” Sooyoung replied seriously, in almost a murmur. Sunny just blushed. “I’ve never seen anyone nearly as beautiful as you…” The tallest continued with an incredibly sweet tone, Sunny’s hair was now bright pink with hints of golden here and there. “Except for myself, of course.”

“Yah!” Exclaimed Sunny as she hit her girlfriend on the shoulder, the latter was laughing loudly at this. “You just ruined the mood!”

“Of course not.” Sooyoung said with a small smirk before she brought her lips to Sunny’s, pressing them together lightly.

When they leaned out, they just smiled dumbly at each other.

“Should we puke on them as well?” Hyoyeon asked Jessica as they watched the incredibly cheesy moment between the shortest and the tallest among their friends.

“Of course we should.”

“Don’t be so dramatic.” Taeyeon said as she lied on the bed, opening her arms and beckoning her girlfriend to cuddle with her. Tiffany gladly made herself comfortable in her girlfriend’s arms, burying her face in her neck and wrapping her arms around the thin waist she loved.

Jessica just huffed as she finally lied on her back on the bed, Hyoyeon just beside her and she couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“Good night!” Sooyoung said as she cuddled Sunny, earning replies from all the girls.

Jessica lied on the bed, she couldn’t sleep, all that was going around her mind was Yuri, Yuri and Yuri. She stayed like that for about an hour, before she felt someone nudging her.

It was Hyoyeon.

“Don’t cry…” Murmured caringly Hyoyeon as she wiped the tears Jessica didn’t even realize she was spilling. “They’re going to be alright…She’s going to be alright.”

Jessica just nodded and closed her eyes, hoping sleep would take over and allowed her to stop thinking about it.

“Come here…” She heard and opened her eyes, only to find Hyoyeon looking at her with gentle eyes and her arms open. “I know you’re a cuddler, Nicole won’t mind if it’s to help a friend.”

And with that, Jessica immediately threw herself at Hyoyeon and hugged her close.

“Thank you.” Jessica murmured against Hyoyeon’s chest.

“Anytime.” Was the last thing Jessica said before sleep finally engulfed her.

“We need to find a way of escaping here…” Yuri murmured to Yoona and Seohyun, both of them had been reading some books in order to pass the time.

“Of course we should…” Yoona said, looking around. “But I’m pretty sure anything we say is being heard.”

“Indeed it is.” Soyou said as she made herself in, Yoona jumped in surprise at the sound of her voice. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“What are you doing here?” Yoona asked harshly as she hugged Seohyun possessively.

“Don’t be impolite!” Seohyun said while slapping her shoulder.

“Oh yeah, sorry I forgot,” Yoona said sarcastically. “I forgot I had to act nice to the person that guards the room we’re prisoners in.”

“When you say it that way…” Seohyun said sheepishly as she leaned a bit more into Yoona’s embrace, loving the possessive warmness it exuded.

“You should be,” Soyou said with ease. “Since I’m here to take you to the dining room for you to eat something and then I’ll take you to the garden to get some fresh air.”

“Thank Merlin!” Yuri said as she stood up, followed by Yoona and Seohyun. “I really need a breather from these lovebirds.”

“Follow me please,” Soyou said as she lead the girls to a big room with a small table in the corner.

“Please sit down over there; they will bring your food any moment now.” Soyou continued.

“Why are you so polite?” Yuri asked as she sat down.

“Because I know how boring it gets in here,” She replied. “I’ve been alone here for way too long.”

The other girls didn’t know how to reply to that, so they just stayed silent as they watched her.

Then two men came and left them three plates and handed it to them.

It was bulgogi.

They haven’t eaten that in a very long time.

“Heard they are sending the other girls back to England.” A male voice in the background said, catching their attention.

“Really?” Another manly voice said. “Who told you?”

“The boss,” The man replied. “He told a few of us are going to intercept them tomorrow, they’re not going to see it coming.”

The three girls could only wonder, was this about their friends? If so, were they going to go back to England without trying to rescue them? Were they going to leave them there?

“They were talking about your friends.” Soyou said as she watched the expressions from the girls. “I heard that their parents are forcing them back to England in order to be safer while they try to retrieve you.” She finished with a scoff. “But the only thing they’ll achieve if they manage to get to Hogwarts is that the attacks will now be directed to their little monster and not you.”

“You knew about the attacks?” They three of them exclaimed surprised.

“Of course I knew!” Soyou said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “This gang is the one behind them.”

“How do they manage to do it?” Seohyun asked, thoroughly interested.

“Easy, the have an infiltrated person in Hogwarts.”

“Wow...” Yuri said. “Are we that important?”

“No.” Soyou said. “But you have something everyone wants.

“Intelligence, a lot of talent and good looks?” Yuri asked jokingly.

“No…” Soyou started, “Well, that too.”

“Then what is it?” Yoona asked indeed curious.

“It’s not my place to tell you that, plus I’m not really sure.”

“Ok... then what can you tell us?” Seohyun asked seriously.

“I can keep you updated on how your friends are… if that helps.” Soyou replied almost nonchalantly.

“Yes, it would help quite a lot!” Seohyun said with sparkling eyes that made Soyou blush.

Yoona just rolled her eyes at the reaction Soyou had.

“I won’t be able to be very specific when it comes to details though.” Soyou continued. “All I do is listen to what they have to say.”

“It’s helpful still, thank you.” Yuri said this time.

Some loud footsteps were heard in the background and Soyou stood up straight and changed her expression to a firm one.

“Hurry up!” She yelled at them. “Quick, I don’t have all day!” She continued as she slammed her fist on the table. The girls were startled to say the least and the men that walked through the room smiled satisfied by Soyou’s attitude.

“Come on, I want to get away from you as fast as I can!” She yelled once again and soon enough the guys were out of the room and she just sighed in relief.

That caused the other three girls to laugh at her and Yoona couldn’t help but think that having Soyou as her guard isn’t the worst that could’ve happened.

“Seriously, her first night without Yuri and she already is cheating on her.”  Sooyoung said as she, alongside with Sunny, Taeyeon and Tiffany, watched how Hyoyeon and Jessica had cuddled up the night before.

“This would be a great moment to have a camera.” Sunny said and they all agreed. “Plus the noise and the lights of that thing would wake them up with not much trouble.” She sighed as she considered how difficult it would be to wake up one of the sleeping figures.

“Let’s start with the easy one.” Tiffany said while she shook Hyoyeon lightly. “Hyoyeon, wake up!”

Hyoyeon just groaned and unwrapped Jessica from around her and sat up.

“When Yuri is back, we’re telling her to beat you up.” Sooyoung said jokingly as she nudged Hyoyeon playfully.

“As if that dork could beat me up.” Hyoyeon said groggily before she stood up and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

“Here comes the hard part…” Tiffany said as she leaned closer to Jessica, Taeyeon took her hand and stopped her.

“I’ll do it.” She said with a smile. “You head out with Sooyoung and Sunny, I’ll be out in a while.”

“Ok, boo.” Tiffany said with extra cuteness before she leaned in and kissed Taeyeon sweetly, their lips moving in unison, they smiled into the kiss, teeth clashing slightly before Taeyeon pulled away.

“Now leave, before my lips catch yours again and don’t let them go in a while.” Taeyeon said before pecking Tiffany once more, Sooyoung faked gagged at the oldest one’s cheesy words and Tiffany’s eyes just glinted in happiness.

“Well, catch them if you can.” Tiffany replied before winking at her and leaving the room.

Sooyoung and Sunny followed the happy Tiffany while chuckling and Taeyeon just watched them leave with a fond smile.

She then sat down next to where Jessica lied down, she fondly started brushing her hair out of her face. She looked at her intensely and sighed.

“I’m sorry.” She whispered. “I’m sorry that because of what I am we have to go back to England… without even trying to save Yuri and the girls first.” She started caressing her cheek.

She brushed the bangs away from Jessica’s forehead and leaned in, she kissed her forehead lightly before leaning out.

“Should I tell on you with Tiffany?” Hyoyeon said as she watched the scene. “Now that I think about it I shouldn’t do it, or that girl would kill Jessica in her sleep.”

Taeyeon just smiled at Hyoyeon once she leaned away from Jessica.

“Don’t beat yourself up over it.” Hyoyeon said while she patted her head. “We don’t think it’s your fault.”

And with that, she left the room and headed to the dining room.

Taeyeon just sighed while she glanced at Jessica.

Suddenly, the latter started opening her eyes, only to meet Taeyeon’s guilt filled ones.

“Did you prank me?” She asked sleepily while she sat down, facing Taeyeon.

“No.” She said. “I just… wanted to say sorry… for all this.” Taeyeon said in barely a whisper. Jessica just smiled warmly at her.

“I don’t think it’s your fault… you should learn to acknowledge that as well.”

“Yeah… well, go get ready, we’re leaving once breakfast is over.” Taeyeon said as she stood up. “And Jessica… remember that is you feel lonely or want someone to talk to… I’m here for you, I got your back, okay?”

Jessica just nodded and smiled at her, Taeyeon smiled back and then left the room.

“I got your back and you got mine.” Jessica whispered to herself before she entered the bathroom to get ready.

“Who knows how to apparate?” Sooyoung’s father asked.

Jessica, Taeyeon and Sunny raised their hands. “Ok, perfect, choose a partner and get ready.”

Tiffany immediately clinged on Taeyeon’s arm and Sooyoung just stood beside Sunny, leaving Hyoyeon and Jessica together once more.

“Now, you know you can’t apparate in Hogwarts, so you’re going to apparate in Hogsmeade.” Mr. Choi continued. “I recommend you to then go to Hog’s Head.”

“Hog’s head?” Sooyoung asked. “Why not The Three Broomsticks?”

“Because Aberforth Dumbledore is the owner, and he is close to McGonagall so it’d be quite easy for you to contact her.” He stated in a matter-of-factly tone of voice. “So-“

He was suddenly interrupted as a shriek filled the room, they looked in the direction of the noise only encounter a muscular guy choking Krystal, behind him were about 10 men pointing their wands at them.

“Let her go!” Jessica exclaimed as she saw Krystal, the rest of the girls supporting her.

“I will… if you hand me Kim Taeyeon but if you don’t…” In order to demonstrate he started strangling Krystal harsher, Krystal’s hands that were struggling against him seemed to lose their strength little by little.

Taeyeon immediately let go of Tiffany, she was not going to let anyone get killed because of her, so she took a step forward, ready to give herself up until Jessica’s father stopped her.

“Don’t.” He said simply.

“But they’re going to kill her!” She exclaimed, stating the obvious.

“That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make, now… go!” He ordered her, she just stared with a shocked expression in her face, it was not his life, how was that a sacrifice?

“Hand me Kim Taeyeon or this Jung dies!” He exclaimed one more time, he took her neck between his hands and lifted her up, she was now facing the girls, she let her hands fall limp on her sides and she smiled softly at the girls.

‘Leave.’ She mouthed and the girls just shook their heads. 'Please leave' Krystal said once more, a lone tear rolling down her cheek as she said that.

Some ruckus was heard and then about ten men entered the room, armed with their wands pointed at them.

“Leave” Mr. Choi exclaimed as he and the rest of the parents positioned themselves in front of the girls. "Now!"

Taeyeon just watched as the liveliness left Krystal’s eyes and how her already pale skin turned even paler.

The guy that was holding her realized what had happened and he just threw her to the side.

Taeyeon hugged Tiffany close before she apparated out of there, tears streamed down her face and as soon as she found herself in the middle of Hogsmeade she fell down on her knees, Tiffany hugging her still, kneeling down as well.

She started to sob harshly and hugged Tiffany closer, searching for some sort of comfort, but was there a comfort powerful enough not to feel sad after you watched someone get killed before your eyes?, she then looked up to the sky and closed her eyes.

“I’m sorry Krystal…” She whispered. “I’m so so sorry…”

She felt more arms wrap themselves around her so she opened her eyes, only to find Sooyoung, Sunny, Hyoyeon and Jessica had joined her in her pain, all of them crying wordlessly.

"I'm sorry Krystal!" She exclaimed much louder before she closed her eyes tightly and allowed herself to drown in he warmth of her friends.

Now, originally it was going to be longer... but there were many things I couldn't exactly remember how I wrote them originally... and also, sorry for.. you know... killing Krystal... or maybe I didn't kill her I don't know (I totally did, I'm sorry) I know I said it was going to be a light chapter but... there's no such thing as a light chapter from now and on haha
