Jeon Jeongguk's life was flawless. He had everything he desired, including the latest Nimbus. Jeongguk was the keeper. He loved hearing screams whenever he caught the quaffle. The beaters were Crabbe and Goyle. Min Yoongi was the leader and one of the chasers. He was well-liked by the Slytherins, mostly because they were afraid of him. Arthur Evans and Thomas Joy were the other two chasers. Unexpectedly, their seeker was a female. A well-built Ukrainian lady. With one arm, she could smash someone's skull.

The practise was going well, and the weather was ideal. Nobody could match Jeongguk's speed. He was the quickest and had the most physical agility of all the keepers.

"Alright guys, let's finish this quickly!" The captain stated. Everyone, as usual, listened.

Jeongguk was relieved to be able to return to his shared room and relax in his bedroom. His father had paid a lot for that.
He was walking down the hall, his mind racing with various ideas, when a short Hufflepuff dawdled into his thoughts. It reminded him of Jimin disarming his companions a few hours before. That Hufflepuff irritated him, but he also had an unique personality. He noticed him painting silently near Hagrid's hut a few days ago. He had to admit that the art was remarkable. But that didn't alter the fact that it was a muggle painting that sent shivers up his spine, naturally, this is due to disgust. Just like that, Jeongguk ran into the above said guy.

"Be careful where you're going, Mudblood," Jeongguk hissed furiously.

Jimin apologised briefly and swiftly exited Jeongguk's sight.

"Wait." The shorter man came to a halt and glanced up at the taller Slytherin. "Meet me tomorrow at one o'clock at the astronomy tower. We'll talk about our project. I care about my marks, so don't screw this up, okay?" Jeongguk mockingly glanced at him. Jeongguk's gaze followed the Hufflepuff as he nodded and dashed away to the Great Hall.

Slytherins of various ages were gathered in the common area. Jeongguk thought the dungeon was cosy. It wasn't to everyone's taste, but it reminded him of his room at the Jeon Manor and provided some comfort. His companions were inviting him for a chat. He waved his hand at them, signalling that he was not interested in a discussion.

The bedroom floor was chilly and dark. He forgot to preheat it. He had installed thick windows in the room. He had an excellent outlook of the lake. Mermaids and other unidentified creatures approached him. He sat in his bed, staring at the ceiling, how hoped he had a dog or cat. His father didn't allow him to have any pets because they were 'dirty'. He was furious about it for a long time and  considered asking Luna Lovegood if she still had any Pygmy Puffs available for adoption, but he  quickly pushed the thought from his consciousness. The Jeon Jeongguk can't be seen with such a freak. Jeongguk had nothing to do but study. He had potions assignments. His house's head was a tad cruel. He assigned them more homework than other professors, and some professors did not assign homework at all. But potions were his favourite topic, and he'd never failed anything.

The day quickly turned to night, and Jeongguk found himself in his king-sized bed. Morpheus approached him slowly, putting the Slytherin to slumber.

The Slytherin was confident that Jimin would do the majority of the task. He desired high grades but had no desire to learn or even bond with the hippogriff. If the short male refused to cooperate, such as doing all of the job, Jeongguk knew how to force him. If convincing him isn't enough, he'll do it physically.
A Hufflepuff waited for the tall Slytherin at Hogwarts' highest structure, the Astronomy Tower.
Jeongguk walked slowly up the steps. He claimed they didn't bother him, but he was in pain on the inside. He was a step away from exhaling deeply through his mouth.
As he reached the top, the brown-haired man turned to face him.
