Author's note: Harry Potter!AU. I hope you enjoy!
Being a Slytherin really isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. It's actually kind of fun if you think about it really. Being able the scare the crap out of anyone you met did have its advantages.
However, the parseltongue jokes got really old, really fast.
"For the last time, it's not a lisp!" Sehun practically shouts as he and his friends make their way upstairs into the dining hall with the other Slytherins.
"Sure, Thehuna, whatever you say." Baekhyun said with a devious smirk, sauntering ahead to grab some bacon before it was all gone.
Sehun had half a mind to hex Baekhyun to the bottom of the Black Lake, as his smaller friend practically slithered through the gathering crowd with no problems whatsoever, but something, or rather someone, distracted him. The opening of the Great Hall was much narrower than the entrance hall of the castle, and as a result, everyone ended up plastered into the person standing next to them as they made their way through the doors. By now, Sehun was used to the semi-claustrophobic feeling of getting a meal, but he had never really expected to be shoved up against the Gryffindor quidditch team of all people. It wasn't really the fact that they were Gryffindors that had distracted him, after the Battle of Hogwarts the two rival houses had become increasingly friendlier, it was more or less the specific person he was currently smushed into.
Lu freaking Han, wildly popular captain and beater of the Gryffindor quidditch team. For Merlin's sake, the pretty boy got more attention than the nearly undefeated seeker, and that's saying something. Speaking of seekers, Slytherin's own champion seeker elbowed Sehun sharply of the ribs before grabbing his wrist and dragging him off to the Slytherin table.
"What was that for!" Sehun exclaimed as he ripped his arm from Kai's grasp, massaging his wrist as he gave Kai a look of sure pain and torture. Kai just snorted.
"You were piling up traffic, Loverboy," Kai said nonchalantly as he snatched some of Baekhyun's bacon.
"Hey!" Baekhyun cried and attempted to grab the fried deliciousness out of Kai's hand, but the younger started waving his arms around, tossing the bacon back and forth over a very steamed Baekhyun's head.
"What are you even talking about?" Sehun asked, glaring at Kai as he sat down across from the dumbass duo, as he liked to call them.
"Please, Thehun," Baekhyun finally grabbed the rest of the bacon strip out of the air, shoving the rest of it in his mouth before Kai could steal it again. "It's more than obvious," the eldest said through a mouthful of crumbs.
"What is? Seriously guys, it's way too early in the morning for this shit." Sehun grabbed a few pancakes and reached for the syrup. Normally Sehun would put up with his friends being all-around shits, but he was really not in the mood for it. First hour double potions semi-finals with Ravenclaw tended to do that to a person. Sehun could feel a headache coming on already, and he groaned under his breath as he began to smother his pancakes in sugary goodness.
"Your crush on Luhan, dumbass," Kai and Baekhyun rolled their eyes in sync, crossing their arms with a practiced huff. Baekhyun's came off snobbish and bratty while Kai only managed to look cute and fluffy. Sometimes the twins thing only went so far.
"What!?" Sehun nearly screeched, spilling syrup all over the table before slamming the, thankfully, plastic container down on the table. "I do not have a crush on Luhan!" Sehun waved his arms around wildly before slamming them down on the table. "You two have gone fucking mental!" Sehun attempted to pick up his hands again, but suddenly became aware of his horrible arm placement. His entire right forearm was now saturated in syrup, and he wasn't the only one to notice. The twins snickered not so silently as Sehun barely restrained himself from flying over the table at them.
"Come along children! Classes will begin shortly!" Professor Sprout's shrill voice rang out across the hall like a saving grace. Students began rushing around, picking up their things and saying goodbye to friends, before hurrying out to their classrooms. Baekhyun and Kai headed for divinations, but not without Baekhyun turning around and giving Sehun a look that clearly read, 'we will talk about this later'.
Sehun silently cleaned his arms up as he waited for the scrambling to die down. When it was safe to stand up without getting mowed over by a ridiculously overenthusiastic Hufflepuff, Sehun slipped into the last crowd of straggling Slytherins on their way to potions. As he walked, he thought over what Baekhyun and Kai had been saying. Sure, Luhan was attractive and all, any fool with eyes could see that. But Sehun wasn't attracted to him like that, right? Just because Sehun thought Luhan was the best quidditch player Hogwarts had seen in quite a few years didn't mean Sehun was obsessing over him, right? And just because he had more pictures of Luhan stashed away in the bottom of his trunk then he was willing to admit didn't mean anything. He was just assessing the competition, like any other loyal Slytherin, right?
Right?
Someone ran into him, and Sehun was jarred out of his thoughts. "Hey! Watch where you're going you mangy buffoon…" Sehun trailed off his standard Slytherin insult when he realized who had bumped into him.
"Oh! I'm sorry about that!" Luhan apologized, rushing around to collect the papers that had gone flying at their collision. Sehun immediately turned away to gather his things, head firmly facing downwards to hide his ridiculously flushed cheeks. He calmed down a little, and gathered a few of the colorfully scribbled upon papers that had gotten mixed into his books.
"I think this is yours?" Luhan handed Sehun an embarrassingly worn copy of an advanced potions textbook. Sehun's bright red blush returned, but Luhan's smile held no malice or judging, he looked genuinely happy to be talking to Sehun.
Luhan's face made Sehun's stomach twist into knots and drop to his toes, so he shoved the few of Luhan's papers he had managed to collect at the older boy before practically fleeing to the dungeons, ignoring the other's calls to come back. He stopped and gasped for breath outside the potions classroom, clutching his side and listening to see if Luhan had followed him. When it became clear he didn't, Sehun relaxed, straightening his robes before walking into class, only to be greeted by a seething hiss.
"Mr. Oh, you are late."
-
After the royal disaster that was the potions final, Sehun had to endure not only the pure torture that is the horrific subject of transfiguration (with the only teacher he swore had a personal vendetta against him) seated directly behind the infuriatingly teacher's petgood student that is Lu Han, but an entire class period of barely concealed snickering, courtesy of the twins, afterwards. Suffice to say, Sehun was extremely suspicious of the piece offering presented to him at the lunch table.
"You seriously expect me to drink that?" Said drink was an inviting shade of caramel, and smelled faintly of vanilla and spice. Had Sehun not seen other Slytherin's enjoying the hot cocoa as well, he would have never even considered consuming it. After Baekhyun's incessant pestering, and Kai's horrible attempts at hiding his smile, Sehun gave in. He was still hesitant about it, but figured the worst the twins could come up with would be to give him neon pink teeth or something equally as stupid.
Maybe he should have listened to his gut.
The cocoa tasted just right; it was the perfect temperature, had exactly the right amount of tiny marshmallows, and had just the perfect little bit of spice in the Mexican chocolate. It was good.
Too good.
Sehun's eyes nearly popped out of his skull as his stomach dropped, mind racing through the possible ingredients and outcomes, each far worse than the last. Images of him sprouting three extra heads or being locked in the abandoned girl's bathroom with moaning Myrtle or being tied up and tossed headfirst into the Black Lake filled his brain, a shiver involuntarily running down his spine. Sehun would have spit the drink out long ago, but the inviting taste had lulled him into swallowing half of it with the first sip.
"What kind of crap did you idiots put in here now?!" Kai had doubled over in laughter and Baekhyun's poker face was ruined by a huge shit-eating grin. "I'm not gonna die, am I?!"
"No, no, you're not going to die." Baekhyun's devious tone was pure Slytherin and made even Sehun's skin crawl at the very thought. Baekhyun's cold, black eyes had a decidedly evil glint to them, and his nefarious smirk could inflict crippling fear into even the bravest Gryffindor at twenty yards. Byun Baekhyun on a mission was not to be messed with. "It's something much worse for you."
Kai cackled evilly, or at least attempted to, as both Sehun and Baekhyun winced at what sounded far closer to the dying shrieks of a chicken being run over by a lawn mower. He coughed awkwardly, tanned skin flushing a light pink. "You and your precious Luhan both have the next class period off," he spoke slowly, as if trying to remember previously rehearsed lines. "We're just going to give you two a little something to do with your time."
Sehun was instantly filling with dread, but Baekhyun had already taken his wand out and started muttering spells under his breath, secrets only a Slytherin could know after years of faithfully searching their private library, leaving Sehun unnaturally willing as the duo dragged him out of the Great Hall. It was at that moment in time that Sehun decided he really needed to get some better friends.
-
The god damned room of freaking requirement. Sehun had actually come across the room completely by accident a couple of years ago, but a chat with a notoriously rebellious upperclassman had gave him all the information he needed to become the go-to Slytherin for illegal goods. It was just Sehun's luck that the twins would use his greatest find against him. He just knew telling them absolutely anything even remotely against the rules would eventually come back and bite him in the ass. (Thankfully Sehun had managed to become completely anonymous outside of Slytherin, so no goody-two-shoes Hufflepuffs or self-righteous Gryffindors could sell him out, as all of the Slytherins, even the dumbass duo, were the most loyal bunch around -despite what the Gryffindors claimed.)
Sehun was now really starting to regret telling the twins the room's location, as he was currently slumped against the opposite wall while the twins, and some random Gryffindors his unfocused brain refused to recognize, whispered obnoxiously to each other a few meters away. He could barely make out the words, despite how annoying as the group was currently being, as his hearing seemed to be the last of his senses to fully return to him. Sehun attempted to shift quietly into a more upright position, accidentally jamming his shoulder into a sharp block in the wall behind him, and ended up grunting out a few choice curse words, only to loudly draw attention to the fact that he had recently regained consciousness.
Baekhyun stormed over to Sehun like a bull charging a matador, wordlessly yanking him up by his arm, practically dragging the younger across the hall, and had thrown him into the room of requirement before Sehun could even react enough to resist. Sehun lied; the last sense to return to him was definitely balance, as he nearly face planted before regaining his footing, whirling around in an attempt to push past Baekhyun and escape. However -and just Sehun's luck, judging by the day's events- the door rapidly started shrinking into itself until it completely disappeared, leaving only a grey marble wall, and the lingering metal image of Baekhyun's petrifying smirk, behind. Sehun sighed loudly and rested his forehead on the cool stone, wondering just what sort of sick torture lay waiting behind his back.
"Did they tell you why you're here?" an angelic voice asked, making Sehun jump and turn to face the owner of said voice. Luhan smiled gently at Sehun from where he was sitting, on the edge of a large, elegant canopy bed.
"No, they kind of skipped that part. In between drugging me against my will and throwing my into the room of requirement, I think it must have slipped their minds." Sehun was surprised that had managed to sound so collected and sarcastic when his heart was currently doing the mambo in his chest.
Luhan laughed softly; a light, airy sound that Sehun would gladly kill a man to hear again. "You're cute," he said softly, standing up from the bed and walking over towards Sehun. Luhan approached Sehun with an indescribable look, hooded eyes examining his prey from head to toe, as the younger backed up into the wall, the freezing stone connecting with his bare forearms and making him gasp. Forget the mambo, Sehun's heart was currently housing a thousand butterflies, all of them clamoring to escape as Luhan continued to advance into his personal space -not that Sehun minded in the least. Luhan stared deeply into Sehun's eyes as he lifted a delicately beautiful hand to Sehun's face, caressing the younger's cheek lightly before running his thumb over Sehun's lips, tugging lightly at the rosy skin, drawing a pleasured gasp from the other boy. He leaned closer, lightly tousled hair brushing against Sehun's face, as he whispered, "I like that." The words had barely left Luhan's mouth before Sehun decided that was more than enough incentive for him to grab Luhan's hair and kiss him fiercely, nearly moaning when Luhan wrapped his arms around Sehun's waist and pulled him firmly against his solid chest.
After some slight consideration, and plenty of evidence from the quidditch star he was currently making out with, Sehun decided that maybe his friends weren't so god awful after all.
Just maybe.
