"Short for Minjae," she explained.
She merely shrugged at his retort. Okay, she might have exaggerated a little bit. Guess he wasn't thanking her for not saving his life then.
His reply surprised her slightly, because he did not seem like the type who likes to push people off a bridge. This just showed the extent to which recent events changed students' personalities - oh, he was joking. "I think he would use Arresto Momentum and save himself if you pushed him off. It could work if you took his wand as well, but he would still leave behind his followers who would get very angry," she commented, still following her train of thought about his first response. Bullying rocks non-verbally was not as interesting. It seemed that he had a good reason to hurt the rocks though, and she nodded slowly when she understood what he meant. "That's nice. I want to get stronger too, though I come from a pure-blood family."
Pushing her glasses up her nose, she shook her head feverishly. "I don't know what you're saying. This bridge is like my second home," she said and sat down cross-legged in the middle of the bridge to prove that she wasn't afraid.
Minnie….
Minjae did not look very pleased with the nickname. It sounded too cute for him.
”Just Minjae, please” He said.
”I’m not really fond of nicknames” Though this one was a bit better than his “Rich Boy” nickname that Claudine had called him.
That one just sounded insulting.
He would definitely use Arresto Momentum to save himself and Minjae scowled as he thought about it.
”Yeah, and when would we ever have a chance to disarm him?” He said bitterly.
”Never. Let's be realistic, we are just a bunch of teenagers and i believe that the only reason why we haven’t been killed yet is because they don’t want to spill magical blood. That’s why they resort to torture ” he said as he leaned his back against the railing.
”We need Aurors, we need Headmaster Trent back” he frowned.
”If he isn’t dead already….”
So she came from a pureblooded family. Minjae crossed his arms over each other now and nodded his head when she mentioned that she wanted to get stronger as well.
”You should. They obviously hate muggleborns like me more but i don’t think they will let a pureblood off the hook when they defy them” he said.
Basically no one was safe. They had no means of communicating with the outside world as well. Everything was really against them...
”Maybe we should just—“ 'join them'. Even in his mind , the words shocked him and he quickly cleared his throat.
He watched the girl as she sat down in the middle of the wooden bridge , obvious that she was not comfortable at all but Minjae just shrugged because who was he to tell her what she should or shouldn’t do.
”Okay then” he said as he too slid down on to the wooden planks and crossed his legs as well.
”Let’s talk about something more lighter” he laughed though the laughter did not reach his eyes like usual.
”Where are you from? Do you like video games? ” did she know what video games were?
