Happiness; that was what Park Chanyeol was currently feeling at the moment. He simply cannot bring it to believe that they have actually finally managed to defeat Hufflepuff in Quidditch. It only took them three weeks of being drilled by none other than their captain, Kim Minseok. Those long hours of constant practice (perfecting his swings, on his part) were worth it the moment Ryu Sujeong managed to do a splendid dive to catch the snitch, allowing them to gain one hundred fifty points more than Hufflepuff. Contrary to popular belief, Hufflepuff has been one of the strongest teams for three years in a row now.

Chanyeol is almost ready to pass out and never wake up until Christmas comes.

Unlike the rest of his team mates who love to just magically dry themselves, Chanyeol was still not quite used to doing so for he was a muggle born and as such, Chanyeol is the only one that is currently lounging around the locker room, waiting for his hair to dry before attempting to head to the library to catch up with his piling assignments. Kim Minseok is not only a very scary captain but he is also very scary when angry and Chanyeol has a feeling that if he doesn't managed to hand in the rest of his homework, he would be facing the wrath of Kim Minseok. He still wants to live to at least see three more Super moons.

Chanyeol shuddered as that thought crossed his mind.

Just as Chanyeol placed his bat properly in his locker (for he had been admiring his trusty bat earlier as he waits for his hair to dry), he felt something rubbing against his ankle and his first reaction was to jump off of the bench and scream. (When asked later on if it had been Chanyeol that had let out a girly scream, he would deny this vehemently). Chanyeol fell against his locker, stubbing his toe in the midst of all of his flailing and landed on his ass, groaning in pain when his head hit the door to his locker. For a wizard, Chanyeol is really clumsy.

As soon as he righted himself, Chanyeol lets out a curse and looked for the source of his troubles - he finds a rather cute almost puss-in-the-boots sort of cat staring at him and Chanyeol is about to open his mouth when he hears footsteps. The cat seemed to hear the same thing too cause the next thing he knows, Chanyeol has a chest full of cat under his shirt and he lets out another hiss when he feel nails digging on to his chest; Chanyeol thinks he might even be bleeding at little bit. His nose started twitching and Chanyeol can feel his eyes starting to water and the next thing he knows, the door opens and Chanyeol begins to sneeze viciously.

Standing at the door is none other than Mr Filch the fifth. He sneered when he saw Chanyeol and Chanyeol rolled his eyes. He was about to reach for the cat that was still in his shirt when he felt the cat curling its tail around his waist and nails slowly digging deeper on his chest. Chanyeol almost weeps and his eyes twitches as the pain registers in his mind again. Not to mention, he must look pretty horrible - what with the fact that he is currently sitting on his ass, legs apart and a lump on his chest.

“Best be along now; wouldn't want to get detention now, would you, Mr Park?” Mr Filch the fifth said as he gave Chanyeol the stink eye and turned around to leave. Chanyeol mimicked him under his breath, eyes rolling at the disappearing figure of the care taker.

Chanyeol sighs and lifted up his shirt. He glowers at the cat that is currently hanging on to him but then when the cat tilted its head to the side - something about this made it seem like the cat was almost human - Chanyeol sighed in defeat. He gently pulled the cat away from him, not minding his minor wounds and brought it up to his face.

“What did you do to cause Mr Filch to come after you, kitty?” Chanyeol asked as he gently puts the cat on his chest where the cat puts both of his paws on Chanyeol's shoulders to balance himself. Chanyeol could feel his nose starting to twitch again and before he could even sneeze again, the cat rubs against his cheek and Chanyeol could feel its rough tongue against his cheek as the cat began to lick him. Chanyeol laughed, “Kitty, what are you doing?” and he could have sworn he heard the cat hissing when he had called it “kitty” but this was the first cat Chanyeol had been with that did not constantly made him sneeze.

“Are you lost?” He asked after a while and lifted himself on to the bench. “You don't seem to have a tag on you though...” He trailed off as he pulled the cat off of his chest to place the cat on his lap. The cat purred when Chanyeol began to caress the cat's neck and slowly went limp on his lap, body quivering with pleasure. Chanyeol grinned; he has always wanted a cat but due to allergic reactions to animals, his mother thought that it would be best for him to not have one and gave him a toad.

The cat purred and stretched on his lap before jumping off of his lap. Chanyeol blinked a few times as he stared at the cat. The cat meowed at him and before he could even process what had happened, the cat ran out of the door and Chanyeol simply sat there, wondering what had possibly caused the cat to simply run away.

“Park Chanyeol, congratulations!!” Kim Jongdae, his fellow classmate and a Ravenclaw, screeched in his ears and Chanyeol laughed as he looked up at Jongdae. He shook his head when he sees Baekhyun trailing after Jongdae, hands filled with bags of what Chanyeol thinks are chocolates. “I watched your game today; you did so good!”

Chanyeol beamed at the compliment and nodded his head. “I think you'd have to thank your brother for that, Jongdae.” He motioned and Jongdae laughed merrily and threw his arms around Baekhyun when the latter sat himself beside Jongdae.

“Congratulations on your win,” Baekhyun muttered to Chanyeol and he nodded his head. Chanyeol still feels quite awkward around Baekhyun and despite the fact that Jongdae has been bringing Baekhyun around for more than two weeks, he really doesn't know how to act around Jongdae's boyfriend.... boy toy... boy something. He furrowed his eyebrows.

“Minseok hyung is probably going to keep up his training regime now that he knows it's working and will probably work the team even more to the bone.” Jongdae stated as he took the bags from Baekhyun and began looking through the treats. Baekhyun merely let his boyfriend do whatever he wanted.

Chanyeol groaned at the revelation. “Well, we have our tests soon and I think I can use that time to rest and study for the tests.” Chanyeol nodded his head at his plan and grimaced when he sees Jongdae feeding Baekhyun.

Sometimes Park Chanyeol also does not understand the relationship that Jongdae and Baekhyun has because first and foremost, the two of them were like polar opposites - Jongdae is the loudmouth whilst Baekhyun is really quiet. Secondly, most of the time, it looked like Baekhyun was forced to be there and the two of them can always be seen fighting (Jongdae doing most of the talking and yelling all the time). But there are times when they are together and they act like nothing is wrong. Perhaps there are some part of the magical society that Chanyeol has yet to learn, he reckoned.

“Hey, Kyungsoo.” Chanyeol grinned when he sees the petite Slytherin. Said man looked up from the book he had been reading and a small smile appeared on his face.

“Hello.”

Chanyeol sits next to Kyungsoo, ignoring the knowing looks Jongdae is sending him. “What are you reading today?” He asked as he pushed his glasses up his nose - a nervous habit that he still cannot get rid off.

Kyungsoo hummed in response as he showed the book to Chanyeol who only nodded his head, confusion still clear on his face. Kyungsoo lets out a sigh - to others, it would seem like he is annoyed but Chanyeol knew better, that was just how Kyungsoo was. “It's a new release from some muggle author; my older brother had to train in Dubai for a while and he sent this over last week.” He muttered and Chanyeol smiled; even though he had no idea what Kyungsoo was talking about (he has very little interest in books, you see), he still feels really happy because that was the first time Kyungsoo has actually said a full sentence to him, without jinxing him. (And as you can see, his interest lies not in the book but the person that's currently holding it).

“That's nice. So... you can continue reading and I'm just going to sit here quietly to write my essay.” Chanyeol scratched the back of his head sheepishly: he had forgotten about the two parchments that was due for his Muggle studies later that day. Chanyeol was quite thankful that he had decided to take the subject - it was rather interesting learning how purebloods view the muggle world - his world.

Chanyeol was about two paragraphs in to his essay when a chocolate frog was placed on to his paper, causing him to look up. Kyungsoo was looking at everywhere but him, his fingers twitching slightly. Chanyeol stopped writing and placed his pen down - “uh?” - he is quite appalled at how wonderful he is with words sometimes.

“...your game.”

“What game?”

Kyungsoo glances up from his book, eyes narrowing at Chanyeol's question. Chanyeol laughed when epiphany hit him. “You put up a good fight.” He muttered as his cheeks turned a wonderful shade of hue.

Chanyeol beamed - who wouldn't when their crush just complimented them on their game! - and held the chocolate frog (he is probably never going to eat this - it's not every day that he receives a present, nevertheless a chocolate, from Do Kyungsoo). Chanyeol could hear the faint snickering of Jongdae and Baekhyun and he almost gave himself a pat on the back when he manages to ignore it and focused on how shy (although when Kyungsoo is asked later on, he was definitely not shy, nope, not at all) Kyungsoo was being.

“Thank you.”

“Stop smiling like that; your cheeks are going to fall off.”

Chanyeol had more than enough energy to finish off his essays and even did reviews for their upcoming tests. He even waited for Kyungsoo to finish his quota of reading for the day before walking the latter to his house as he most probably chattered Kyungsoo's ears off. (Chanyeol finds it absolutely endearing how he still manages to go along with whatever he was spewing off - it just makes him like Kyungsoo all the more).

Chanyeol once again finds himself facing the kitty he had saved the other day - or at least, he thinks, it's the same one he had saved the other day. “What are you up to today, kitty? I haven't seen you in a while.” He stated as he wearily reaches over to pat the kitty on the head. He inwardly lets out a squeal when the kitty purred against his hand. “You're so cute!”

The kitty gave him a look, one that Chanyeol dismissed and easily picked the cat. “Since today's such a fine day out and I can't seem to find Kyungsoo anywhere, do you want to hang out with me? You can't really say no, though. I'm still going to bring you out on a walk.” Chanyeol stated - he must have imagined how the cat had stiffened when he had mentioned Kyungsoo's name - and laughed when the kitty seemingly shrugged.

Walking towards the lake, Chanyeol sighed. It's been a few days since he has talked to Kyungsoo and truth be told, he quite misses the latter. Even though sometimes Chanyeol thinks (and Baekhyun as well as Jongdae points out) that it's a bit one-sided, seeing as Chanyeol talks most of the time and Kyungsoo listens while he gives his opinions every now and then, he really does quite enjoy Kyungsoo's presence.

“So kitty, today Jongdae and Baekhyun teased me again.” Chanyeol muttered and the kitty tilted its head. Chanyeol smiled at how adorable the action was. “It was nothing bad - they were just teasing me like they normally do whenever I look for Kyungsoo.” Chanyeol could feel the kitty's body tensing slightly.

“They keep on telling me I'm like an overgrown puppy that's always trying to look for its master and that's why, whenever they see Kyungsoo around, I guess that's why they keep on making fun of him too, calling him master.” Chanyeol laughed. “It's kinda silly, I guess but...” Chanyeol sighs. “Why am I even telling this to you, (sighs),” Chanyeol shook his head.

The kitty seemed to disagree as he continued to purr against Chanyeol.

“Thanks for listening, kitty.”

Once the tests were done, Chanyeol flopped on to the common room's sofa, groaning when he turned his body to face the sofa. He just wants to sleep and not wake up for the rest of the semester. He is quite thankful that he doesn't need to pack seeing as he had plans on staying in school and his parents are going to go to visit his sister and her husband in France. Chanyeol entertains the idea of apparating but that was as far as it went for his roommate walked in to the common room.

“Hey, hyung. There's someone at the door waiting for you.”

Chanyeol lifted his head from the cushion and stared at Tao. “Who?”

Tao grinned. “Well, that's for you to find out, isn't it?” He giggled and headed down the stairs. “Pretty sure you'll like it,” He yelled.

Chanyeol scratched the back of his head once more and pushed himself off of the sofa, heading towards the door. Once he stepped out, Chanyeol freezes upon seeing Kyungsoo standing there stiffly with a bored (it actually almost seemed pensive) look on his face, hands tightening around the straps of his bag.

“K-Kyungsoo?”

Kyungsoo jumped, startled by the sudden voice and almost drops his bag. He turned to face Chanyeol and Chanyeol is almost taken aback by how pretty the smile Kyungsoo gave him - he's really hopeless and in too deep - even though it was small. “Hey.”

“Are you going somewhere?” Chanyeol asked as he stared at the bag - Kyungsoo rarely ever carried a bag, even when they headed out to Hogsmeade - Chanyeol doesn't stalk, he simply observes.

Kyungsoo nodded his head. “Yeah; just wanted to tell you that I'm heading home.” He murmured and then he seemed embarrassed. “I don't know why I'm even telling you this but,” He gulped. “Just don't mi- look for me too much.” He muttered and looked away from Chanyeol's knowing look.

Chanyeol grinned; there's a certain warmth that washed over him. “I can still owl you right?”

Kyungsoo looked at Chanyeol before nodding his head. “I suppose.”

Chanyeol reached over to ruffle Kyungsoo's hair. He can almost feel Kyungsoo bristling. “Have a great time with your family and don't have too much fun without me.” Chanyeol dared to wink at Kyungsoo and Kyungsoo glared at him before elbowing him, lightly, and Chanyeol laughed.
