‘I need to find the Moaning Myrtle’ thinks Jongin when he excuses himself from the Transfiguration class, Chanyeol sends him a thumbs up from the back of the room and he closes the door.
The ‘I think I ate something spoiled’ excuse shouldn’t have worked, but it did, and now he can start his hunt for the said ghost of the Ravenclaw’s.
His best friend, Chanyeol, was talking a few weeks ago about the myth of the Moaning Myrtle. Is said that she hadn’t been seen for the past years, some people said she’s missing, others that she got bored of the second floor girls’ lavatory. Nobody knows how she looks like anymore.
Jongin thinks she’s hiding something. Something important, Chanyeol’s theory includes a secret notebook and never-seen-before spells, and maybe he’s right.
As a proud Slytherin, Jongin wants to be the one to find the possibly existent notebook and, maybe who knows, rub it on Chanyeol’s face or even Kyungsoo the stupid Gryffindor who got him in trouble last year for sneaking out of the castle at midnight. To Jongin’s defense, Kyungsoo was out of the bed too.
Carefully, he walks around the large corridors, trying to not get caught, he walks and walks, until he finds himself standing at the deserted halls of the second floor. He looks around and finds the bathroom with the plaque written ‘do not surpass’.
He looks around, once again, and laughs at the plaque, a simple piece of plastic won’t tell him what he should or should not do, unless it gets claws and tries to kill him, but not today. He pushes the door open, slowly, the bathroom is different than he thought, the walls are all white, the floor is not awash, and the place is dead silent (but it’s not like an abandoned restroom is supposed to be full, he’s not expecting a secret party).
Jongin is not afraid, but he supposes he should walk without making any sounds; what if someone appears out of nowhere and attempts to Avada Kedavra him? He can’t risk losing his life.
He looks at the cabins, one by one, most of them have their doors wide open and some look that they’re closed from the inside.
Jongin tries to peek at each one through the crack they have.
He backs away and opens his mouth, but no sound comes out.
Apparently he’s not alone, he saw something white inside the last cabin.
Tiptoeing, he takes deep breaths and counts. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
He slams the door open and the thing he saw jumps.
“Are you the Moaning Myrtle?” Jongin shouts at the white haired thing, person actually, in front of him, the door creating a loud banging sound that echoes through the tiled walls.
The figure looks up at him with a killing glare, some book in hands and Jongin almost screams, again.
“I-”
“Shit, I have to go. Teacher will find suspicious that I didn’t come back yet, I’ll be back tomorrow at the same time.” Jongin says and runs out of the place.
The person, at least that’s what he thinks he is, ignores what just happened and goes back to the book.
When Jongin enters the classroom again, there’s nobody inside. Now he needs to run, or else he’ll be screwed at Potions.
The very next day, Jongin calls out that he’s sick during Herbology, he runs all the way from the greenhouse to the same empty room. Yesterday he was in such a rush that he didn’t notice the smell of mildew that hits him in the face when he opens the door, he covers his nose, but the excitement is so much, that he soon forgets about it.
He happily skips to the last cabinet and peers at it again. There’s nobody in there.
Jongin heard somewhere, maybe Chanyeol again, that rumors say that the Moaning Myrtle is a fan of pretty and cute things, he thought that his presence was enough, but if a cute and pretty thing is needed he’d gladly get a flower out of somewhere (the garden, which he shouldn't touch) and give it to her (him, in the case).
He has the flower in hands but there’s nobody in there, nobody, he’s alone.
Dejected, Jongin turns to leave. he bumps into something and looks up.
“The Moaning Myrtle.” he exclaims and the boy in front of him looks extremely displeased.
“I’m not-” he’s not able to finish his words, apparently Jongin shoves the flower to the boy’s face. “Get that away. What are you even doing here?”
“I came to see you.” Jongin says shaking the flower up and now.
“I’m not the Moaning Myrtle.” he finally says after all the failed attempts.
“No?” Jongin asks wide eyed, what the fuck? But he’s so pale and he’s from Ravenclaw, but he actually looks like a human, or else how would he have bumped into him? (‘No chill feeling of passing through a ghost, actual flesh and bones’). “I think I need to have my brain checked, be right back.”
Jongin tries to escape and maybe hide for some years.
“I’m Sehun.” the boy says and Jongin turns back at him, walking slowly to his previous position.
“Jongin.” he says and extends a hand, he should leave his shame aside, he already did it, there’s no turn back, unless he tried to get hold of a Time-Turner, but they’re rare he won't find one in time.
“I suppose I should explain to you why I’m here, because I’m not the Moaning Myrtle and I’m not a girl to be on the girl’s restroom. At least I think I’m not,” the Sehun boy jokes and Jongin nods, maybe Sehun knows about the Moaning Myrtle. “I come here since the first year to read in peace, you know, my housemates are all really clever and they usually question me for my book choices. I don’t like to be judged, that’s why I’m here. And no, I’ve never seen the Moaning Myrtle, if that’s what you’d ask me after I finished speaking.”
Jongin closes his mouth, as expected, a Ravenclaw is a Ravenclaw, and Jongin is stupid (‘but I’m proud of my imperfections’ he’d say).
“I have to go.” Jongin says, he’s still a little sad about not finding the ghost, he was hoping he’d be the best wizard on his house for this. “Thank you, and goodbye”
Sehun just stares at Jongin leaving the place, weird boy is weird. He goes back to his book, it’s better than try to figure out what just happened.
“I’m not giving up!” Jongin tells himself when he enters his bed that night. Giving up is not something a Slytherin should do.
Chanyeol turns on his bed and stares at Jongin, he laughs, like he knows what’s happening, when the truth is that he just thinks Jongin is excited for their Defence Against the Dark Arts exam tomorrow.
Jongin doesn’t know anything about the exam.
Putting aside the fact that he’s screwed (apparently he should have studied), Jongin visits the second floor again, nothing but his wand in hand - 13’’, dragon heartstring, made of Holly.
He walks in, and to his surprise, Sehun is not into one of the cabins, he’s leaning against a wall, eyes focused on his book.
“Hi,” Jongin says and tries to take a look at what the boy is reading. “Muggle literature?”
Sehun puts his bookmark into the book and sighs, here it goes again.
“Yes, got a problem?” he asks making a ‘are you trying to challenge me’ face. “As I said, my housemates judge me for the books I read, are you here to do it too? If you are, I request for you to leave, please.”
“No, no, it’s just that, I thought you’d be reading something like A History of Magic or the Amazing Witch Molly series, something alike.” Jongin says, he’s not familiar with muggle literature or the muggle world itself.
“I read them already, it’s boring, magic books are boring,” Sehun says, he takes the book from his lap and smiles “My family always send me books.”
“So you’re a muggle born?” Jongin asks and he’s not trying to be offensive by the way his face doesn’t show any kind of malice, Sehun decides that it’d be okay to have a talk with him.
“No, my mom is, my father is a wizard.” Sehun says and he gives up on reading by today. “Weren’t you supposed to be in class?”
“Charms was cancelled today.” Jongin says and he’s happy, because after Defence Against the Dark Arts he just wants to hide and cry. “What about you? You’re always here.”
“That’s not true, I have Muggle Studies right now, and I don’t attend because I know enough already.” Sehun says and smiles, he is, after all, the clever one and choosing a subject you know too well is something Jongin would call a dirty move (‘I attend some though, I can fail because of absences’).
But instead of questioning he laughs and tries to change the topic.
“What are you reading right now then? If it’s not a magic book, I have no idea about what it should be.” he says and hopes Sehun will answer him, because he’s truly interested.
The boy shifts on his place, he opens his mouth but closes it, trying to find the words to explain it to Jongin.
“This time my mom sent me a book named Pride and Prejudice, she said it’s one of her favorites and all and I used to not want to read it before, I think the book is okay but it’s not something you’d like.” Sehun says and he puts the book aside.
“Try me.” Jongin says and comes closer to the boy.
Maybe he can try to find the Moaning Myrtle tomorrow.
Sometimes Jongin takes sight of a white haired person walking on the halls or sitting at his own house table on The Great Hall, and, maybe, he sees a flash of white hair sneaking into the second floor girl’s lavatory at the same time he arrives there, and, maybe, he smiles. But just maybe.
It’s routine by now, the fact that maybe Jongin finds the awkward Ravenclaw attractive and that he steals some glances at Sehun when they’re alone in the bathroom, the boy always reading one of his books and Jongin being silent, thinking, wondering, imagining. Sometimes he brings his notes to study, after all he can’t fail, he still wants to work as a Obliviator, it’s not as hard as it is to become an Auror but it’s still something really important.
It’s at one of his visits that Jongin doesn’t see Sehun there, it’s weird, really weird, Sehun is always there first. Jongin is not sure about what he should do.
He enters one of the cabins and takes his wand out.
“Accio Sehun.” he says jokingly and laughs to himself, but he jumps when the door of the cabin opens, revealing Sehun staring at him. “It worked.”
“Indeed, but I was at the cabin right next to this one.” Sehun says and Jongin stops laughing, he really is stupid, he should listen to Chanyeol sometimes, but Chanyeol is dumb - dumber.
“Oops.” Jongin says and sits at the cover trying to cover up his embarrassment.
Sehun kneels in front of Jongin and laughs, lucky that the restroom is not being used for at least the past 200 years.
“It’s okay, you can be silly in front of me, I don’t mind.” Sehun says and Jongin bites his lower lip, because he really did make a fool out of himself.
“Since we’re being sincere here, can I tell you something?” Jongin says in a low tone and Sehun’s eyes twinkle, it must be the lightning. “I clearly remember coming here just to see if I could meet the Moaning Myrtle.”
A silent sigh escapes Sehun’s mouth and he tries to get up from his position.
“No wait, you don’t need to leave the spot, just wait a minute, I think I didn’t say it clearly. I don’t even care about the Moaning Myrtle anymore,” Jongin holds Sehun down by the shoulders and tries to elaborate something on his mind, but he remembers how horrible he is with words.
“What are you thinking?” Sehun asks worried, Jongin is probably wandering away from all of his line of thoughts, he looks at the boy’s face right in front of him and licks his lips.
“Sorry about that.” Jongin apologizes and Sehun shakes his head like he’s trying to say ‘how typical’ and he scoffs, focusing on him again and scaring Jongin with the serious expression he’s wearing right now.
“Don’t move, I have a surprise today, just close your eyes and I’ll give it to you.” Sehun says and Jongin follows his instructions, he likes surprises (unless if it’s something like, frogs on his bed).
He releases Sehun’s shoulders and closes his eyes, waiting and tapping his feet to the floor. He feels Sehun’s fingers brushing the hair out of his face and he wonders what he’s even doing and oh, something warm presses against his lips, and maybe it’s Sehun (it’s obviously that is Sehun), but Jongin needs to make sure so he opens one of his eyes and peeks at Sehun’s pretty face in front of him.
He never said anything about it, but he finds Sehun handsome, so so handsome, with his long lashes, small lips and his cute nose that he wants to pinch, not to count how he’s so cute when he’s reading.
“Can you stop staring and just kiss me back?” Sehun asks pulling away and fixing his soft white hair.
Jongin takes him by the shoulders again, placing a long, chaste kiss to his lips and he smiles to himself after it.
“You never did it before, did you?” Sehun asks supporting his arms on Jongin’s lap and grinning at him.
“What do you think?” he snarky replies and leans in. “What about you?”
“Aside from what I’ve seen on the books, no real experience. And different from the books, in which the characters take forever to realize their maybe feelings for the another said main character, I’m just going to admit that I like you.” Sehun says and plays with Jongin hair that is near his reach.
“Can I kiss you again?” Jongin’s face acquires a crimson color when the words leave his mouth and he shyly tugs at Sehun’s robe.
“Like, for real?” Sehun asks, a light shade of red covers his cheeks all the way to the tip of his ears, he takes Jongin’s fingers away from his clothing and holds them tightly. “I think I’m reading too much girl’s literature.”
Jongin laughs and captures Sehun’s lips with his own, melting into a sweet, slow and innocent-yet-not-so innocent kiss.
When they finally decide that, maybe, it’s already late and that they should go to The Great Hall because dinner will probably be served in a few minutes, they exit the girl’s lavatory.
Hand in hand and laughing, something, more like someone, stops them from walking ahead.
“Why are you two holding hands?” asks Jongdae, the Hufflepuff prefect who likes to play pranks on everybody, it’s a huge surprise that he’s actually in charge.
“Is it something that concerns you? Not trying to be rude or anything.” Sehun says and Jongdae stares at their intertwined fingers.
“I think it’s okay, you can choose whoever you want to kiss or hold hands with.” Jongdae says and gets out of their way.
“Good, now, we have to go, see you later at dinner.” Jongin says and they keep walking.
Jongdae turns to stare at their backs walking away and then looks back at the door they just exited.
“Oh Sehun! Kim Jongin! Less 20 points for both of your houses for being naughty in a restricted place.” he screams from afar, but the boys are too far off, running, to even hear his words.
