Secrets

Five

I woke up in a bed, not in the car. I sat up after realizing this, only for a older man to come up to me. "Relax, Louis," he instructed me.

"Where's my brother?" I asked quickly, pushing myself away from him. I looked around the huge room that had multiple beds in it. They each had a nightstand next to the bed and a curtain that could divide them into small rooms. "Where's Liam and Harry?"

"Son, calm down," the man soothed, sitting at the foot of my bed. "They went to eat, as you will too, once you relax. These are just the temporary rooms until we figure where to place you."

I stared at him, trying not to let how scared In was show. "I don't-"

"No, I'm not expecting you to understand or know anything. That's all for after you have some food in your system. I'll show you where Harry and Liam are."

I nodded slowly, getting off the bed after him. There were a new pair of shoes sitting besides it. I slipped them on and stood, following the man through the hallway. "What should I call you?" I asked quietly.

"I'm the Headmaster of this school. That's what most of the student body calls me."

I nodded and bit my lip. There was a dining hall he lead me to and walked through, finding my brother and boyfriend without any problems. I hugged Harry as soon as I saw him, buring my face in his neck.

"When you boys are done eating, come back to my office," the Headmaster stated.

"We will," Liam assured him. The headmaster nodded and walked away after that and I felt everyone's eyes on me.

"Why are we here?" I asked. "I didn't think we were going to a school."

Liam shrugged. "Mom and Dad sent us here. I'm trusting them. Plus, I've seen other kids using their abilities openly."

"Openly?" I tilted my head to the side. "We can't use them-"

"It's different here, Louis. It's okay here."

"It's dangerous to use them!" I argued. Harry put his hand on the back of my neck and rubbed lightly, trying to calm me down. "I don't like this, Liam."

"It's okay. I promise it's okay. We can even call Mom and Dad whenever we want."

"It's just like camp, Lou. We're safe here, it's okay to use your abilities. Everyone here has them. There's people who will help us learn to control them." Harry pulled me to his side since we sat on benches. I closed my eyes as he kissed the side of my head.

"Do you trust this?" I asked Liam, opening my eyes to look at him.

"I do, completely. And if it changes, you and Harry will be the first to know. Get something to eat," he instructed, motioning to the plates of food.

"I feel like this is Hogwarts," Harry commented as I reached for a sandwich that sat in the middle of the table and took a bite of it. "Like, this is a lot like Hogwarts."

"Harry Potter was based off the school," a girl next to us commented. "I'm Mary."

Liam smiled at her. "I'm Liam, this is my brother Louis and his friend, Harry."

"Boyfriend," Harry corrected quietly. I kissed his cheek and he smiled a bit more.

"Nice to meet you," Mary greeted. "Have you guys been sorted yet?"

"Sorted?" I questioned.

"No," Liam answered, "but I'm mental, Louis is physical as well as Harry."

"I would have guessed the opposite. That's cool though." She smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear. "We normally don't get new students even within the dust few days of school starting, let alone two weeks into it."
