They ended up talking about the fact that Jisung still didn't get new glasses and he actually needed them to see properly but for his glasses, he had to go to a specific shop in his hometown, not sure if they also had a shop in Hogsmeade.
"Can't you order it and let it get delivered here?", Seungmin asked him.
"Theoretically yeah, but I don't know if I shouldn't go there personally instead..." he wondered.
"I bet you can go and visit them in the next holidays but they're still quite far away and think we'd all prefer for you to see properly" Seungmin argued laughing.
"You're right" Jisung agreed, also laughing. Yet, in the back of his head, he was afraid that the shopkeeper would tell his parents when he contacted him.
"What are you doing in the winter holidays?", Seungmin then asked the other boy.
"Nothing, I'll probably stay here" Jisung shrugged, it didn't seem to bother him, yet his tone was somehow sad, or more disappointed. But Seungmin didn't comment on it, the way Jisung said it showed him that it was something he didn't want to talk about and Seungmin wanted to respect that as much as possible.
"Do you perhaps have Skype? Maybe we can talk over it during the holidays?", Seungmin then suggested after a period of silence.
Jisung was a bit confused by the question at first, but then slowly nodded.
"Yeah, but honestly I have no idea if I still know my password" the other admitted with a shy smile.
"If you forgot your password just create a new account and you can text me your new username" Seungmin laughed and got up.
"I suppose that that is something I might get done" Jisung laughed as well and followed Seungmin with his eyes, expecting him to do something relevant but he soon found out that the other only wanted to walk around a bit.
Seungmin stood in front of his bookshelf for a minute before turning back to Jisung.
"You know, I and some of the others tried to do some research about the thing that was in the lake, but there is no information at all... Not even in the forbidden part of the library" Seungmin mumbled, sitting down on his chair again.
"You went to the forbidden library?", the older asked full of shock.
"Well not me, but Minho went there" the other shrugged. That fact somehow shocked Jisung even more than anything else.
Why would Minho do something like that? If he had been caught he would've lost his position as prefect and probably would've gotten into a lot of problems for it. There was a reason why it was forbidden after all.
"Why?", he asked under his breath, not knowing what to think.
"I don't know, he didn't say a reason, only that he didn't find anything there" Seungmin explained to him, leading back in his chair.
Jisung frowned. "That doesn't make sense..." Looking at the younger he could tell that he was saying everything he knew, or he was extremely good at lying, but Jisung knew that Seungmin was a pretty bad liar.
"I think it wasn't something that lives in lakes normally" Jisung then stated. "It was probably something which natural habitat is cold water if you think of the fact that it ran off when coming in contact with heat. Therefore someone must have directed those creatures here to Hogwarts with a specific intention" he then continued, looking at Seungmin for a short while before letting his eyes wander through the room.
"But who? And why?", the other then questioned but Jisung only shrugged. His thoughts went to his parents but he couldn't believe that they found out where he was. That was impossible, right?
He shook his head to get rid of his own thoughts and stood up.
"I think I should leave now, I've bugged you for long enough and your roommates probably will come back sooner or later" he stated and went to the door.
"I guess we'll see us tomorrow?", he added and Seungmin nodded, a bit confused that Jisung knew so much, yet kept everything secret to the teachers. But he probably had a reason to do so, so Seungmin didn't want to destroy whatever plan he seemed to have.
After Jisung closed the door behind him Seungmin sat down on his bed, staring out of the window and thinking about random stuff.
Soon enough his thoughts were back to Hyunjin but not only him, but also Jisoo with whom he had a date not too long ago.
He still felt this jealousy weighing on his heart, even after Hyunjin assured him, that he didn't have any feelings for her and that there won't be a second date. But just seeing them together, hanging out during breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as some classes which Seungmin knew the two of them had at the same time, it made Seungmin's heart crack every now and then. He just seemed so happy when he was with Jisoo.
Seungmin sighed and let himself fall onto his back. He tried his best to think about anything to distract himself but it didn't quite work like he wished it would.
For a second he thought about calling Hyunjin and asking if he would like to meet up, maybe spending some time with him would minimize his jealousy.
As if Hyunjin knew that the younger was thinking about him, only seconds later Seungmin's phone rang, the ringtone already told Seungmin that it was him.
"Hey Seungmin, are you free right now?", Hyunjin asked the second Seungmin accepted the call.
"Yeah, sure. What's up?", the latter asked.
"Can we meet at the library? You know where" Hyunjin then asked.
Could Hyunjin read his fucking mind or something?
He looked at the time.
"Yeah, give me a few minutes," he told him and got up from his bed.
He quickly changed into some more comfortable Jeans and a hoodie before heading out to the library.
The boy arrived quicker than he usually did, not noticing that he almost ran half the way.
When he came to their usual place, Hyunjin was already waiting for him, standing up and smiling when he saw the younger.
"Hey" he mumbled as he pulled him into a hug, burying his head in the other's hair.
