In the Slytherin dungeon, Kim Dokja sitting nearby the fireplace flipped through a page. The warmth of fire made him sleepy. However, the murmurs around were getting on his nerves. There has been plenty of gossip about him since Kim Dokja entered Hogwarts, but he thought he behaved well recently.
Suddenly, a spot-yellow newspaper obstructed his view, he looked up and saw Han Sooyoung smirking at him.
“Daily Prophet?” Kim Dokja glanced at the new paper indifferently, “Why are you giving me this?”
Before a vanishing spell Kim Dokja was about to perform, Han Sooyoung’s finger pointed at the front page of the newspaper. A full-page dynamic black-and-white photo showed him being embraced by the Secretive Plotter…...Wait? When did this fucking picture taken?
Kim Dokja snatched the newspaper from her, want to know the details. He almost tore it into pieces when the first line popped into his eyes.
“A boy like no other, perhaps - yet a boy suffering all the usual pangs of adolescence, writes Dokkaebi Paul.”
Kim Dokja frowned with disgust, then skipped sentences to find the paragraph mentioning his name.
“Kim Dokja, a seventh grade Slytherin student. Hidden under his plain appearance, he is the most loyal apostle, the only successor, and a faithful lover of the Great Plotter.”
“WHAT THE HELL?” Kim Dokja cursed - What could he say? He once thought nothing was more absurd than taking a role as a hostage (especially as Yoo Jonghyuk’s hostage) in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. Who in the right mind would thought he had a fling with the Secretive Plotter? The truth is simply that Secretive Plotter, the enemy of Yoo Jonghyuk, kidnapped him. He was the absolute victim. The one who twist the truth and write this bullshit must be a totally psychopath.
Kim Dokja stared at the Dokkaebi’s name, Paul, and threw the damn newspaper on the ground.
“I suggest you read it soon.” Han Sooyoung said, and picked up the papers reading aloud.
“Lots of witnesses stated that Kim Dokja has a close affection with Yoo Jonghyuk. At the Yule Ball two months ago, the Hogwarts champion of Triwizard Tournament, Yoo Jonghyuk, chose Kim Dokja as his partner despite the public opposition.
“Did anyone oppose?” Kim Dokja’s eyebrow raised high, “I am the one who REJECTED him in public at first. Yet no one remembered?” He talked loudly deliberately and the dungeon was silent for a moment.
Han Sooyoung shrugged, “But you still dance with him on opening.”
“If the dance you mean by being forcefully dragged around by Yoo Jonghyuk through the dance floor.” Kim Dokja said ironically.
“Frankly speaking, your dancing is not bad. After all, all you need to do is lean on Yoo Jonghyuk’s chest and prevent yourself from stepping on his feet.” Han Sooyoung sneered at him, then continue to the report.
“A anonymous Durmstrang girl stated that Yoo Jonghyuk constantly intimidated her for Kim Dojka.”
“Anna Croft - what is the difference between being anonymous or not? Anyway, the whole school knew she is at odds with Yoo Jonghyuk.”
“Another Hogwarts student said that Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes could not leave from Kim Dokja for a second. When he looked at Kim Dokja, Demon Worlds was about to embrace its spring. Nobody would think they weren’t a couple. By the way, Kim Dokja was really CUTE!”
“Uriel.” Kim Dokja sighed, “She is the only cute one.”
“You give up commenting on her words?”
“What else nonsense does it spout ?”
Han Sooyoung spoke with a joyful tone.
”However, it may not be Kim Dokja's doubtful natural charisma that has captured the hearts of Savior and the Great Plotter."He is really ugly," says Yoo Mia, the younger sister of Yoo Jonghyuk, "he’d probably have some Love Potion. It was rumored that he earned lots of money by underground means.”
”Love Potions are, of course, banned at Hogwarts, and no doubt Goryeo’s First Sword, Cheok Jungyeong, would want to investigate these claims. In the meantime, Yoo Jonghyuk’s well-wishers must hope that next time, he bestows his heart on a worthier candidate.”
Han Sooyoung ended.
Kim Dokja started blankly at Han Sooyoung for a few seconds, “This isn’t made up by you?”
Han Sooyoung waved the newspaper, “Read it yourself.”
Kim Dokja looked at the headline of “YOO JONGHYUK'S SECRET HEARTACHE” and lost the interest to read it anymore.
“Hey...wait.”Kim Dokja belatedly recalled something, he closed his eyes and moaned.
Noisy whispers burst out in the dungeon, and the familiar sound of footsteps with dragon leather boots hurried towards the direction of Kim Dokja.
“Too late.”Han Sooyoung cast a pitying look at Kim Dokja,” I’ve told you to read that report as soon as possible.”
Han Sooyoung covered her eyes with her hands, blocking the cliche kiss of the fool companions in front of her.
