“Oh no. Ohhhh no, absolutely not. I’m not doin’ it.” Sehun shook his head and let out a breathy laugh.

You had just gotten back home for Summer break after a long year at Hogwarts, and all year you knew exactly what you were going to do as soon as you got back home.

You were going to teach your best friend how to ride a broomstick.

Sure he was a Muggle, and sure you weren’t exactly sure if you were allowed to use magic outside of school grounds, but what could be the harm? It was your fifth year, so you had plenty of experience with magic. You were 16- just under the age of when magic outside of school grounds was permitted- so if you did get in trouble, you wouldn’t get in too much, would you? Plus, this would be a great source of entertainment seeing as Sehun was scared of heights, so all rules aside, this was going to be hilarious.

“Come on, how are you of all people afraid of heights? You’re like six feet tall! You are a height!”

“First of all, i’m six feet and a half-”

“Oh, big difference tree boy. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re about as wimpy as a wet piece of paper.” You said, rolling your eyes and sinking down to sit against the Cherry Blossom Tree that grew in front of your house. Soon Sehun appeared next to you, and you both sat, reminding you of how much time you used to spend playing around this tree before your first year of Hogwarts.

“Dude, you’re like, really mean now.” Sehun said in mock offence.

“Must be all that Slytherin, it’s getting to my head.” You smirked and glanced at him through the corner of your eye.

“I’m still bitter that you got sorted into Slytherin. I was sure I would win that argument.” You both smiled to yourselves, remembering the argument you had about which house you’d get sorted into upon your arrival at Hogwarts.

“I told you I would. But seriously, I couldn’t see myself in any of the other houses. Ravenclaw- sheesh, those kids are way too uptight for me. Gryffindor are just watered down versions of Slytherins, (a/n: plz don’t come for me I love all houses I promise) and Hufflepuff is all good and fun, but they’re just too…”

“Nice?” Sehun said, mocking your not-so-nice tendencies that he had learned to like. You playfully hit him, rolling your eyes but also letting out a small laugh.

“Shut your mouth, skyscraper!”

“Okay, what is it with you and making fun of my height today?”

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Are you riding the broomstick or not?”

There was a silence and you could tell he was thinking about giving in, so you nudged his arm with your elbow and wiggled your eyebrows, hoping to convince him further.

“Ugh, fine, you win.” He said standing up.

“As always!” you stood up with a bright smile on your face, anticipating how this would go. “We shall begin!” you yelled, raising your fist in the air, looking up to the sky. You stayed in that position and basked in the glory of a another argument won by you, of course.

“When, though?” Sehun said un-enthusiastically. You quickly apologized for your melodramatic outburst and ran inside to get your broomstick.

You came back out, holding your broomstick triumphantly in your hand, marching out to Sehun who couldn’t hold back a giggle. You stood in front of him and held the broom in both hands, showing it to him.

“I introduce to you,” you said proudly, “The best part of Hogwarts. This is a Nimbus 2000. The one and only Harry Potter’s first broom.”

“Harry Potter… i’ve heard of him before.”

“Everyone has. All Muggles and Wizards alike. If you haven’t heard of him, you’re not just living under a rock, you’re living under Mount Rushmore.”

“Okay, Nimbus 2000, Harry Potter, Rocks. So when do we start sweeping?” He said with a sarcastic smile.

“Ugh, God I hate you. You do not sweep with a magical broom you bucket head.”

“Then what do you do with it? How are you supposed to make it fly or whatever?!” He said, running his fingers through his hair.

“Like this.” You said, mounting your broomstick, then kicking off, feeling the breeze whipping around your body. You had almost forgotten how exciting it was to ride a broomstick, despite all of the times you and your few close friends from Hogwarts would ride around the Quidditch field and sometimes even venture into the Forbidden Forest in the late hours of night, usually landing you into heaps of trouble. But you couldn’t resist, the air around you was comforting, and being so close to the clouds was so freeing, that it was worth double the amount of homework.

You landed back in front of the Cherry Blossom tree, and turned around to meet a shocked (a/n: or should i say shookt) Sehun, who couldn’t believe his Muggle eyes.

“Dude what the heck?! This is unreal!” He exclaimed.

“Nothing is unreal when you’re a Wizard Sehun, trust me.” You said, laughing at all of the strange things you’d seen at Hogwarts so far.

“Hey, I know I give you crap about your weird Wizard tendencies all the time, but man, you’ve gotta teach me how to do that.” He said, laughing in disbelief.

“No problem. Broomstick 101, my expertise.”

The next 30 minutes or so would be spent explaining the basics of the Nimbus 2000 and how to ride it. Soon the broom was mounted, you on the front of the broom and Sehun on the back, clutching onto your Hogwarts robes- which you had yet to change out of- for dear life.

“I swear if you hold on any tighter, you’ll rip holes in my robes, and we’ll see what happens to you then.” You warned.

“Sorry, but i’m really not trying to die today.” He said, half sarcastically, half genuinely worried that he’ll fall, or the broom will go berserk or something like that.

“You ready kid?” You said, turning your head back to face Sehun.

“Yah, don’t call me kid, you’re only a-” You didn’t give him to finish his sentence before you kicked off and went flying.

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU Y/N?!” Sehun yelled, or rather screamed.

“Nothing’s wrong with me, I just know you well enough to know that if I give you enough time to think about something, you’ll chicken out!” You yelled back at him over the wind. You eventually rose above the trees and soared about them, admiring the beauty of the woods surrounding your house.

“You haven’t passed out or peed yourself yet, right?” You asked.

“What do you mean yet?” He sounded petrified, knowing that you always had some sort of bad idea lodged in the back of your head.

“Nothing, I would just hold tighter if I were you!” You spun the broom in mid-air, sending you upside down and rightside up again. You laughed, again forgetting how fun this could be.

“Oh my God, I think I might puke…” Sehun said, leaning his head on your shoulder. You slowed down, really not wanting to ruin your robes.

“Sehun, look.” You said nudging him with you elbow. He looked up to see that the sunset had caused the clouds to turn various shades of pink and purple. You two sat in silence, in awe of the colors that the sky was turning.

“That’s pretty amazing, i’ll give you that.” He said quietly, still in shock from the fact that he was literally flying on a broomstick right now.

“Isn’t it?” You said, admiring the sky with a warm smile on your face. “You ready to go back down?” You said, talking over your shoulder.

“This is cool and all, but yes, please.”

“Okay, hold on.” You chuckled. You turned your broomstick around to face the way back home, and when you got closer to the patch of trees that surrounded your house, you aimed your broomstick down to land.

You landed with a thump, causing an un-experienced Sehun to fall off of the back of the broom. You swung your leg over the side and quickly ran to put the broom back inside. When you came back outside, Sehun was on his back, laying under the Cherry Blossom tree, covering his face.

“You okay, Oh Sehun?” You said, falling down beside him, moving his arm so it was underneath your head.

“I just rode on a broomstick. I. just rode. on a broomstick. I flew into the air-”

“On a broomstick, yes Sehun, you did.” You said laughing at the state of shock he was in. “So was it fun?”

“If your idea of fun is traumatizing, then yes! It was tons of fun!” He said sarcastically.

“Well i’m sorry you’re so traumatized, but you know it was fun.” You said smirking.

“Yeah, sure. Can we talk about normal things now? You know, how’s school? Who do you hate? Who do you… like? Hmm?” He said, nudging you, wiggling his eyebrows as you had done earlier, while trying to convince him to ride the broomstick.

“Well…” You said mischievously.

“Wait, what? Are you serious? You like somebody?” He said, turning to you.

“You asked! And yes, I do. Her name is Nora, and she’s kind, and smart, and has big honey brown eyes, and-”

“Jeez, you’re whipped for this chick aren’t you?”

“Ew, shut up.” You said chuckling and playfully hitting him. You two sat under the Cherry Blossom tree for the rest of the sunset, talking about the Hufflepuff girl you- a slytherin- had managed to fall for. And while Sehun went on about the irony of the situation, you thought about the irony of you, a pure-blood, and him, a Muggle with Muggle parents, becoming the best of friends over the years. You remember being only eight years old, seeing him sitting by himself at the park, deciding whether or not to talk to him when your little eight year old self thought, “What could be the harm?”
