The Blackbourne and Toma team are called for a very special mission by the Academy. They didn't think that Hogwarts and the wizarding world existed for real and that they would meet such a beautiful witch - inside and out - in the famous castle. Sa...
" Nevermind... " I mutter while blushing furiously.
One of them moves to stand in front of me while keeping an acceptable distance between us. I think he's afraid of scaring me. I can understand why. He looks... Intimidating. And handsome. Like a perfect statue. I study him, curiously, starting with his gorgeous face, steel-gray eyes and impeccably slicked back soft brown hair. He's studying me as well, but right now, I'm too focused on what's in front of me to shy away from his scrutiny.
He's wearing a dark gray suit, white shirt and a strange grayish-blue tie with a little snitch pattern on it. Maybe he's a Quidditch fan but I don't think so and judging by the snickerings all around me now, I bet that it's an inside joke between those men. He looks pained when I look at it like he really didn't want to wear it but did it anyway for a reason I ignore. When I look around me, I realize that I'm now in the middle of a men circle. Mister Dumbledore is beside me and Severus is fuming behind an attractive giant. I automatically roam my eyes on the dark skin of his face, his dark blue t-shirt a little strained by his large shoulders but what is mesmerizing me the most about his appearance is the soft look in his dark eyes when he looks at me. This huge man is a teddy bear and I immediately relax.
Someone clears his throat and my attention is back on the steel-gray eyes I've been acquainted with earlier.
" We are here to help you miss...? "
" Sorenson. Sang Sorenson. " I say timidly, joining my hands together in front of me.
" Miss Sorenson. We'd like to become your friends if you'll let us. "
I take a look around and notice all the smiling faces - except for Severus, whose still scowling - and I nod my approval at them all. I've never had so many friends in my life.
" Hi, beautiful witch! I'm Sean. " says one of them. He has beautiful curly hair that looks soft and my fingers itch to touch it. His eyes are green and I bet he looked like a cherub when he was a baby. He called me beautiful. No one ever said I was before. Am I? I mean, I don't think I'm repulsive but beautiful?
" Nice to meet you, Sean. " is my reply. His smile is reaching his eyes now. I can see that he is sincerely happy to meet me and it makes me smile brightly back at him. His eyes are hooded now, for a reason I can't figure out.
" I like what I see, too, Doctor Green. " says a strongly accented voice. I turn around to find who spoke those words, apparently to Sean. A man moves forward. He's... Big and has tattoos on his arms. I can see some on his neck too and he has a lip piercing like a ring. I never saw this in my life. I mean I saw people with tattoos in my village but except for earrings I never saw anyone with any other pierced body parts.
" I have a lot of that, little ved'ma. In places I will show you one day. "
Did I say that out loud?
" Yes. I'll give you a fruit salad when you get hungry today. " he murmurs in my ear. I didn't even notice that he moved closer. He called me a witch in Russian. Ah. That's the accent I heard. I learned Russian in my community because my mother said it was important for me to learn as many languages as I could to be able to teach her beliefs to wizards around the world. Like I would ever do that.
" I like fruits, krasivyy magl. " His eyes roam my face at me calling him a handsome Muggle in Russian. He looks pleased.
" You don't want to accept any fruit from him, aggele. " says the giant in front of Severus. Oh. He's Greek. He called me an angel. I knew he was a teddy bear. What a sweet thing to call someone.
" Why? I don't think he could poison it. "
" I would never. I just want to make your acquaintance and call you mine as soon as possible. Corey wants to call you his too. They all want to. It's plain to say. "
" I think you mean: plain to see, Raven. " says a blond man, his hand now on one of the Russian's shoulder. By Merlin's beard! They're all so handsome!
" Same. "
I'm a little bit overwhelmed right now and need to sit down. A man, identical to the blond next to Raven, brings a chair to me and I automatically sit on it. Raven said they want to call me theirs. I don't understand. I'm not an object. What does he mean by that? All the men are looking at Raven disapprovingly now and I can't do anything except placing my hands on my face to hide it from their scrutiny for a moment.
Two men are moving forward now and each of them have a glass of water in their hand. I take the nearest one and nod my head in their general direction as a way to say thank you. I can't talk right now.
" She took mine, North. Not yours. Mine. " says the blond God I took the glass of water from. His hair is long, touching his shoulders. His eyes are brown and playful. I think he's trying to rile up the other guy.
" She can have mine after she's done with yours, Luke. " answers the man dressed in black, looking a little rough, but playful too. Everyone laughs at what he said. I don't get it. Severus seems to know what secret meaning it is because if looks could kill, the guy in black would be dead right now. I think I see steam coming out of his ears too. Oh, there is! How come? Oh. Dumbledore did a little trick on Severus. He's standing behind him now, trying to look innocent while the men are laughing even harder and I keep on being clueless. Mister Dumbledore takes pity on me and takes my hand in his, gently shoving me to my bedroom so I can rest a little. Before the door closes on me, I take a look at the crowd of guys in the common room, noticing the ones I haven't been introduced to. They automatically hold their hand up and wave their fingers at me to say hello or goodbye, since I'm apparently going to bed.
" I'm Marc. This is Nathan, Victor, Gabriel, Axel and Kota. Go lie down now. We will all introduce ourselves one by one when you wake up, sweetheart. We will try to give you some space. I know we can be a little overwhelming when all fourteen of us are together. "
" It's alright. I would like to get to know you all. I just need a little nap. I had a long week. " I say before Mister Dumbledore step outside of my bedroom and closes the door. I take a long calming breath and move to my bed, collapsing on it and soon falling into a deep sleep, feeling completely safe.
