Jisoo nodded and glanced at him from over her shoulder. "Alright, just - just let me change." She felt a little silly for saying that out loud, especially at the current state of emergency they were facing but she just wanted to feel a little less uncomfortable and a fresh set of clothes would help at that.


"Seriously?" Johnny rolled his eyes, Jisoo didn't have to look back at him to see because she could hear it in his voice. "Ugh, women. Hurry up!"


"It's just personal hygiene!" Jisoo slammed the door shut behind her.


It took her five minutes or less to change into new, fresh clothes but it was enough time to calm herself down as well. The thoughts slowed and her heartbeat went back to normal. She needed to keep a level head if she wanted to catch Taehyung once and for all. This had to end today, one way or another. And the last thing Jisoo wanted was rattled nerves and messy thoughts. So much was at stake here and there was so much she needed to make up for.


She bolted down the stairs as fast as she could, the length of her wand pressing against her the side of her stomach. Johnny was already standing by the door and looked rather irked. He pointed at his watch but Jisoo waved him off. "I know, I know, let's just -"


Jisoo opened the front door to her house and that's when a loud explosion rocked the entire muggle neighborhood. She instinctively raised up her arms to shield her face but Johnny took her by the shoulders and pushed her to take cover behind him while yelling, "look out!"


The walls of Jisoo's house shook violently and when she lowered her arms, she saw smoke rising up from the east wing of her house. Tiny flames began to form in the living room area and she cursed under her breath. "You didn't put the protection spells back up!" She shouted at Johnny through the sound of her house coming apart.


The color was drained off from his face. "Shit, I'm sorry!" It was the first time he sounded anything other than sassy to her but they couldn't dwell on it further. He instantly doused the flames with a watering spell while Jisoo had rushed outside.


There, a few feet above her roof were two Death Eaters circling around her house like vultures.


"Let's try not to blow up my house, it's a rental!" She yelled at them but she wasn't entirely sure if they had heard her despite their menacing glares from under their dark hoods. Johnny joined her outside and the Death Eaters dove straight down towards them.


Jisoo ducked, bringing Johnny with her flat to the ground, their bellies hitting the pavement with a thud. The Death Eaters swooped down and missed them by a hair, going back up to prepare for another swan-like dive and this time it seems like they don't intend to miss.


"Let's go," Jisoo tugged Johnny by his coat sleeve and he nodded back at her. The two of them hurriedly stood before sprinting out of Jisoo's property and on to the street, too overcome with adrenaline and fear and everything in between those to care if the muggles could see them being chased by cloaked figures on flying brooms.


She jumped to the side, dodging a yellow hued spell that was aimed right at her. She looked back at the Death Eaters and glared at them. "Stupefy!" The spell went flying past between the two as they continued to pursue them. Johnny was right at her heels, running as fast as he could while also throwing spells in hopes of slowing the two enemies down but it was clear that he and Jisoo were the ones at a disadvantage in this battle.
