as a muggle born, nahyun was fascinated by magic. even before receiving her letter she had been curious in her endeavors to try things beyond her capability simply because she grew up without knowing the boundaries or respect that should be given towards executing magic. while some of her adventures had turned out dangerous and more often than not life-threatening, her thirst to try something new was never quenched. In fact it was insatiable in the way that she began dabbling with potions and the traditional ways of casting spells.

someone had to have come up with all of these once upon a moon, right? so who said she couldn’t attempt to innovate centuries old mechanics? 

some mints in her hand, nahyun stood over the simmering pot, smoke raising from the surface and leaving the curious witch anticipating any response to the herbs she was throwing together to create a nightingale potion.

     Jaein had spent most of his time so far just sitting in the cafe reading up on some medical books while he sipped on his coffee. It would definitely be a little easier, and quieter, to really just study either in his room or even at the library on campus however it preferred spending time in the cafe due to the fact that he could actually just get coffee at any point if he ever needed a refill to help his brain wake up a little more at times. He had actually thought about getting a job at such a place just so he could enjoy the aroma of the one thing he liked to drink whenever he got the chance to. Though, with as much as he had going on with not only his clubs but also classes as well, so even trying to get a job with how busy he already was just wasn’t the best idea to really be thinking about.

     He’s been sitting there for a short while now at one of the tables, sipping on his beverage as he does so. Jaein wasn’t even really paying much attention to anything really going on around him, that is until he heard a certain name. He’s quick to glance around when he hears a certain name being said that makes his curiosity grow as he does so. It’s a name that he wouldn’t be able to even forget if he were to try. ‘Sage’ The name was all too familiar and someone that Jaein had gotten to know a little bit, apparently gaining a new nickname from the other in the whole process.

In the middle of the magical forest located on the outskirts of the campus, anyone would wonder: why? Well, the answer was simple. He was here for a school assignment. To which, again, anyone would wonder: why??? Kevin Seo actually doing an assignment? Unheard of! Except when it involved some fine witches to admire. It was the exact reason he’d even registered for the class, anyway. And while he would have been disappointed to have not been paired with the very person he’d intended to take the course with, he definitely wasn’t upset with who he’d been assigned to instead.

“Forsythia, right?” He’d chanted the name over and over again until this fated weekend had arrived, not wanting to fuck things up before they even began. And taking their difference of class standing into consideration, Kevin knew he had to prove his worth somehow. But what he lacked in brains, he made up for with brawn. And since they would be camping out for the weekend in search of a porlock (conveniently provided by their professor for the purpose of the assignment), the boy’s ego was not about to let him embarrass himself in the presence of a lady.

“Hello! Welcome to Aurora’s Bookstore and Quills! Is there anything I can help you find?” 

The chime of the bell on the front door alerted Changmin to a customer entering the shop, even from the back he could see someone was inside and he quickly let the the stack of books in his hands put themselves away with a wave of his wand before rushing out to greet his customer. Despite starting school at Mokseong University and moving to the dorm there, he still took some weekends to return home and give his parents a break from the store, and he got all the books he needed for free so he did much of his studying whenever business is slow. This was the first customer they'd had all day, given that it was a Saturday and he assumed most people wouldn’t want to waste such a nice day running errands, and he had been using this down time to rearrange some sections, even though he was really just wasting time. So to say he was excited to have someone to finally talk to was a bit of an understatement.

He made his way to the front, coming up to stand behind the glass case that separated the two of them, glancing down at the small wand collection it housed. They were all imported so the selection was minimal due to the high demand and only mediocre supply, not many vendors wanted to send wands out to them because of the lack of customers for the area, so they worked with what they got. He returned his gaze to the beautiful stranger and offered her a bright smile.

“See anything that catches your eye? Or are you here for anything specific?”
