The plane had just landed in the wide asphalt landing zone. After some time, the door opens and gives a staircase for passengers to get out of the plane where they spent seven hours of their life traveling abroad from America to Europe, from New York to London. The jet lag already makes people yawn and show the tiredness of the trip. Some kids were just playing around, with that typical energy of the childhood. The more curious ones would look around and see the grey clouds that wouldn't let the sunlight brighten the sky. The common question was "where are we?" as if a name would clarify their naive young minds. This one man didn't take the time to breathe the British air. He went straight to the customs, where he signed some papers and grabbed his bags. Stepping outside, finally a free man of paperwork and typical procedures of getting to a new country, he takes a deep breath and looks around, enjoying the view and the fresh air. He spots a group of familiar faces to who he goes towards, in a fast pace that would express his excitement and how he missed their company.
"Long time no see, Seungmin." Yejun said as he opens his arms to greet his friend.
"You've gotten old, Yejun." Seungmin plays with him, finally hugging him after so long.
"And you've gotten fat." Jisung picks up on his returned friend, who glanced him with fire in his eyes.
"Hasn't a creature eaten you already?" Seungmin rhetorically asks.
"I've been here to save his ass many times." Hyunjin steps up, which was rather ironic from the man who is always putting themselves in trouble.
Seungmin shakes his head with a small laugh and greets all his friends, who bothered to meet him at the airport. The six of them have been talking for a while until you hear footsteps behind the group, everyone looks back, except Seungmin.
"Well, if it's not my new teammate," The voice behind Seungmin makes itself heard and the boy smiles, turning back, "Welcome back, Seungmin." Seungmin gives Minho a hug and they stay there half a year until Seungmin starts complaining and demanding his own space.
The boys started to laugh about Seungmin reaction, he never changes. Seungmin picked his bags from the floor and they started to leave the airport. The boy was going to stay at Chan, until he finds a place to live. The group was reunited, but there were people missing like Felix and Changbin.
"Where's Felix and Changbin?" Minho asks getting Chan and Jeongin's attention, Yejun and Seungmin looked at each other noticing that no one talked about them yet.
"They are at the hospital," Jisung replies leaving his friends confused.
"What happened?" Yejun asks worriedly about his friends missing.
Chan sighs and looks at his friends, "They are fine, they went there to check Draco." What their ex-leader said just let the boys even more confused, so in their way to go to Chan's house to Seungmin leave his bags and then they could go eat something, Chan and Jeongin explained everything that happened lately. He even explains his theory about Ella's boyfriend, which caught the attention of Jeongin, who starts to hear closely to the theory.
"All of the evidence points out to the Death Eaters still being active and Tom being one of them." Chan finishes his conspiracy theory with a pretty firm state, "Now me and Felix have to pay more attention to him and what he does."
"I can do that." Jeongin quickly offers himself for the job, making everyone confused since Jeongin was always the crybaby of the group and never got into anything shady like this.
"But Felix is alread-" Chan tried to keep it just for him and Felix, but the determination in Jeongin's eyes was bright enough to shut Chan's mouth, "Very well... You can help."
"Well, while you guys play catching the Death Eater, I'm going to visit Draco." Seungmin yawns and stands up, wearing his jacket and getting ready to go see the blonde injured man.
The others got up too and they went to the hospital while talking mostly about Quidditch and some interesting transfers that have been happening in the Quidditch world. Finally, the clouds have opened up to let the sunshine for the last hours that are left. Arriving at the hospital, they ask for the room where Malfoy was in and the woman in the balcony lead them to the three hundred twenty-nine. While they were passing through the corridors, they look to the door looking for the Malfoy's one, until they find it. Chan puts a hand on the handle and hopes for the best, turning it and making his way in with his eyes already focused on the bed. The blank covered chest of bandages was now elevated from the mattress, the closed eyes who seemed to be locked down last time were now almost widened open, the pale looking dead skin was now flourished with the blood running through the veins of the man who looks undefeatable. At his side, there was his wife standing while an open smile of accomplishment and relief. Felix and Changbin were near the door, they were about to leave to meet the rest of the boys but seems like they were staying a bit more.
"You'll never die, will you?" Seungmin makes the rhetoric question with a happy tone, immediately going forward to hug his friend.
"I won't ever give you that pleasure." Malfoy plays with him, opening his arms and taking the Ravenclaw close to him.
The rest of the boys look at each other, with smiles all around, happy for Malfoy being safe and sound. They gather around and all of them join in the hug. Minho looks up and sees Alese contemplating that scene when he signals her to join them, and the emotional woman opens her arms and hugs all of them. After that, the guys hang out for a while, Malfoy explains all that he's been through since the attack at the pub. There was a brief moment of silence until Hyunjin decides to break down that tense feeling on everyone.
"Has any of you seen a Crup before?"
They all start looking at each other and shaking negatively their heads, with their attention on Hyunjin, "Well, I and Jisung got one, let's go see him!"
"I'll go see him as soon as I get out of here," Malfoy announces, making them look to him confused, since he looked fine and ready to go home.
"You're not coming?" Minho asks.
"He still needs to stay for a few more days, they need to make sure his levels are right until they can send him home. Safety reasons. He'll be out in no time." Alese explains while sitting by Malfoy's side.
The guys end up saying goodbye to the blonde couple and they make their way to Ella's house, where there was Ella, the Crup and Tom. Arriving home, the furry friend of Hyunjin comes running towards him to greet everyone who came in.
"Hi, Tsundere!" Hyunjin calls the Crup, while playing with the hair of the excited creature.
As everyone makes their way in, they play a bit with Tsundere and enter the living room. Ella and Tom were sitting together on the sofa, watching something on television. Seungmin, Yejun and Minho meet Tom for the first time. Despite being a bit suspect after what they heard from Chan, they liked the guy. He was cool, funny, smart and he liked Quidditch. They started to question why Chan would make such a big deal about him. After talking for a while, Tom started to get hungry and wondered if he was the only one.
"Who wants to eat something?"
"I could eat something," Yejun says with no hesitation, provoking some giggles among the group for knowing how much the guy eats.
The rest of the boys agree with the food too. Tom gives a kiss in the forehead of Ella and goes to the kitchen. He opens the fridge and looks everywhere and tries to think of something simple to do. Tom loved to cook and he liked to get creative in the kitchen. He grabs some hamburgers, cheese and goes to the balcony. He grabs the bread and starts to get some round slices of bread, until all of a sudden, the kitchen door shuts violently, making Tom lift his head up and looking to two guys who were staying in front of the closed door. It was Chan and Jeongin, with not so friendly faces. Tom gets confused looking at them.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Getting the truth out of you."
