Is a wizard with no magic a wizard? Especially when past stands between him and each spell.
The only student at Hogwarts with no magical abilities at all Lee Taeyong is fed up of being the laugh of the school, so he decides to challenge the most po...
"Nah he was kind of ok," Taeyong felt heat on his cheeks.
Ok was not the right word to describe pure flame.
"Really?" Yuta got up and pulled Sicheng behind him.
"Yes," Taeyong didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't tell anyone even Yuta about the moments in the basement.
Taeil reached him and they made their way back to school through the secret corridor that ended at the Whomping Willow and Taeil used a spell to make the tree stop moving so they could run under it's furious branches through the lawn towards the castle. They were lucky and didn't meet anyone on the way to the dormitory but hours later when the boys were asleep Taeyong was still wide awake his head so filled with Jaehyun.
The sun was high and the boys were in the great hall for dinner. Somehow the boys settled with the thought that Taeil is a werewolf, they slowly stopped to look at him strangely.
"Taeyong!" the boy jumped up hearing his name spoken by no other than his crush.
Jaehyun had rolled the sleeves of his white shirt up, he smiled bright.
"Can we talk for a second?" he looked towards the way out of the great hall so Taeyong followed him without asking.
Maybe he wanted to hide in some deserted bathroom or class to kiss.
But Jaehyun stopped behind the corner of a wall glancing around.
"Listen I need your help. Professor DO locked his supplies in his office, and he used some pretty good spells," Jaehyun whispered.
"You know I'm not good with spells," Taeyong blushed.
"But your friend is, please I need your help, I need Hidle roots," Jaehyun tensed.
"Why do you need it?" Taeyong closed his fists.
"For a potion," Jaehyun's cheeks got red.
"There's only one potion they're good for and you can't make it because you don't have the Philosopher's Stone," said Taeyong repeating Taeil's words.
"Ok, I'll be honest, I have the Philosopher's Stone, it's in my family," Jaehyun was suddenly serious.
"It was destroyed," Taeyong raised his voice but Jaehyun covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shh, it was saved by someone from the Room of Requirement," said Jaehyun. "But it's a secret ok, no one can know."
"So you want to be immortal yes?" Taeyong swallowed.
"It's not for me but my granddad, you probably know he's the only family I have left and he's really really old, please, I need him in my life," Jaehyun begged and Taeyong bent.
"Ok," he muttered.
"Thank you so much," Jaehyun took his hand and caressed his fingers casing him to explode.
"What will I get for it?" asked Taeyong looking into these deep eyes.
"A lot more than last night," whispered Jaehyun leaning over his ear than he left.
Taeyong felt the cold on his opened hands, why was he so stupid and ready to risk everything for this boy.
The worst part of the plan was to convince Taeil to come with him, he needed to tell him everything, also about the stone and Jaehyun's granddad. Taeil was angry, he told it's black magic involved and headmaster Chen should know, but Taeyong begged him to keep it secret, so when night fell and the common room became quiet they left through the portrait hole. They hid under the invisibility cloak, opened the map and walked down the dark corridors towards the dungeons where professor DO had his office.
"He sleeps right behind the second door," muttered Taeil glancing at the map.
"We will be quiet," Taeyong tried to encourage him.
They stopped at the door both shivering and sweating. Taeil raised his wand and spoke a spell but the door stayed locked.
"Oh, this is a hard one," he muttered trying another one.
The door was still closed and Taeil started to be nervous.
"Relax and think," Taeyong rubbed his arm, while the boy tried a complicated spell causing the door to crackle.
They glanced inside, the long shelves were filled with strange things. Taeil lit up both of their wands. They walked along the shelves lifting boxes and searching in pots and jars.
"Erhg!" Taeyong nearly jumped up when he touch something sticky.
"Shh!" Taeil glanced at the door to the room where professor DO was sleeping, they knew he would get them expelled if he caught them.
"It's here," Taeil opened another box and smiled. He slipped out of the cloak and started to press the Hidle roots into his jeans. Taeyong smiled, he leaned against the shelves watching his friend and...
Crack!
His elbow collided with a jar that crushed to the stony floor with an awful sound. Taeil reacted immediately, he jumped under the cloak and pulled Taeyong along the wall far from the broken jar, and the slimy substance that was covering it. The second door flung open.
"Whose here, reveal yourself!" shouted professor DO, who was in his pajamas, with his wand high when he jumped into the room.
Taeyong was trembling so badly he heard his teeth clenching against each other but Taeil raised his wand. Something broke in professor DO's room and he turned there. Taeil used this moment to open the office door with another soundless spell, they cracked with so much noise that the teacher ran out of his room and into the corridor.
"Now," whispered Taeil pulling Taeyong with him.
They jumped out of the office and took the corridor down the dungeons, the opposite way Professor DO was running into.
"The common room," whispered Taeyong.
"We can't get there now," Taeil was walking quickly but their steps made no sound and Taeyong guessed the boy had used another spell. They stopped next to a wall where Taeil whispered "Caramel beer."
A moment later the wall opened revealing the entrance into Slytherin common room.
"How?" whispered Taeyong when they slid through it hiding under the cloak.
"You know there is this girl in our potion class, she likes me and gives me the password to the Slytherin house each time it changes, she hopes I'll visit her one night," Taeil went red.
"What if someone is here?" Taeyong glanced around.
"Nah they're all asleep," Taeil smiled scanning the huge dark room.
"And I take the password from her because, I know it might be useful sometimes, like tonight," the boy took the cloak off him. "We must wait a little and then we'll be able to go to our house."
Taeyong wasn't so sure about him removing the invisibility cloak when they heard a voice and all hair raised on his body.

Thank you so much for all the feedback and love, I hope the last chapter is finally visible for everyone.
So what do you think about Taeyong stealing Hilde roots for Jaehyun? Is Jaehyun honest with him? Who do you think had caught them in the Slytherin common room?
