7 New Magical School, New Secrets
It was a clickbait. He didn't actually, 'kissed' me. He kissed my cheek. Well technically, it was a kiss but not what you had hoped for.
You bloody pervert.
It was a soft and gentle peck on my blushing cheeks. I looked at Kevin, he was blushing as well, scratching his face as he did.
I stepped back to give us some space and I felt a smack behind my head. "You had to cheer your boyfriend on," Anna glared playfully, rolling her eyes as she did.
"He's not my boyfriend," I defended.
"I'm not his boyfriend," Kevin supported.
"Right?" I said to him, giving Anna a shrug.
"Yet," Kevin added. I look at him, shocked. But then he leaned in again, his broom was dangerously tilted and close in way that our noses were almost touching. "But you'll be mine soon," he whispered.
"Oh, shut up," I gently pushed him off and he flew away, making sure to give me a wink before he did.
Anna and I went downstairs, meeting Johnny in the stairs, "Heya," he greeted, offering his hand for me to shake, "Johnny Tailor, and 'Tailor' with an 'I', not 'Y'." He is a humorist just as Anna said.
"Kenneth Hershie Cowell-Reynolds. Both with regular spelling," I said with a small laugh. When he let go of my hand, he placed it over Anna's shoulders.
I raised my brow with his action. Usually Anna didn't like someone to place their arms over her shoulder.
When we got down, Kevin, Alexander, Michael and Timmy were already there, waiting for me.
I glanced over at Anna and Johnny. I was about to ask them what was up when Anna interrupted.
"Oh, Kenny, he's my-"
"Johnny John Tailor is your boyfriend?!" I asked, slamming my hands dramatically on the table.
"Yes, yes, shh," Anna said, looking around the hall.
I made an 'o' with my mouth and leaned in, "Is it like, a secret?"
"No, silly," she chuckled. "You're just too loud."
"Oh," I said, looking around and saw that professor McGonagall was looking at me. "Sorry," I mouthed. She only smiled and continued eating.
"But he's older than you!" I retorted.
"He's not that old, gosh. But yeah, it's been, like, 9 months already," Anna said.
"How old is he anyway?" Michael interrupted.
"16," Anna answered, her face blushed a bit as she bit her lip as if she was so in love. Which she is. I made an 'o' with my mouth. Well, he's not that old.
"Anyway, Alexander, how's the new potion coming along?" Kevin asked. I looked over the table and realized all their attention were on us.
And between me and the gang, I realized that they have this unique trait individually. Michael is playful and proud, Alexander is childish but is smart as hell and Kevin is charming, kind, cunning but sweet, cool but hot, ultimately what I like.
Wait, what?
But Christian has also the same characteristics. But the only difference is that Christian is possessive and "what he wants is what he gets" type. Kevin is possessive but in a cute way. Like a soft-hearted bad boy type, you know?
Glob. I've been reading too much slash fiction!
We all said our goodbyes. Tim, Anna and I were walking towards the Hufflepuff common room when we heard someone arguing on the hall beside the kitchen.
"It sounds like professor McGonagall," Anna said. I was just going to shrug it off when I heard a familiar voice.
"He is in danger, Minerva," poppa said.
"Dan, I know you're worried about him, but you have to trust the school. I might not be as powerful as Albus, but you have to trust me. I, together with all the professor will do our best to protect him," professor McGonagall argued.
"Just don't let him-"
"Entrust your son to me," professor McGonagall cut him off.
"Okay," poppa said, giving professor McGonagall a hug before walking away.
"Was that your dad?" Anna asked.
I was speechless for a few seconds. Protect me from what? And he sounded really worried, which is making me worry.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a nudge on my shoulder. "Hey, come on," Timmy said, leading the way to our common room.
That night, I couldn't sleep. Protect me from what? Just don't let me what? Is there something that's gonna take me away?
