DADA.
Ravenclaw Common room.
Namjoon was up and ready as was most of his Ravenclaw associates. "Morning Namjoon, walk to DADA with me?" A girl called Hani smiled. Being the kind soul he is, he nodded with a smile.
"We are learning about expecto patronum and our patronus'" Hani explained as they stood on the moving staircase. "I can't wait!" He replied, and he wasn't lying. Namjoon has been itching to find out what his patronus is. He knows a boy who found out his patronus was a huge butterfly. He hoped for something a bit more manly than a butterfly. He had a certain Gryffindor he wanted to impress.
Everyone sat on the bleacher like seats and waited for the professor to come.
"Morning class, I hope this is it and nobody is late. I don't think anyone wants detention." The professor shouted making his way into the room.
"Kim Namjoon, get down here." Namjoon looked across to were the Gryffindor man was and he was already looking at him. He gave a goofy smile when the boy winked at him. A piece of chalk hit Namjoon on the forehead and he was once again beckoned to the front of the class.
"I assume a Ravenclaw student would already know the spell? Why don't you tell us?" The professor murmured to himself and gave Namjoon a shove forward into the open space. "You think of a memory that is happy; the happier the thought the stronger the spell." The professor praised him and said "Cast when you are ready."
Namjoon tried to think of the happiest memory he could. It by far was the time his father got promoted and they spent a whole day in Hogsmeade, but in the finest cauldrons, vials and fun potions to try. He unconsciously smiled and circled his wand. "Expecto patronum!" He yelled.
A white light with a blueish hue spouted from the end of his wand and manifested into an animal that made Namjoon smile a little. A fox.
The fox emitted waves of light that would clear dementors for meters. The class wowed and applauded Namjoon in his victory. "Well done boy, five points to Ravenclaw!" Namjoon fist pumped and retook his seat. "That was amazing!" Hani exclaimed and hugged him. Namjoon couldn't feel the cold look he was getting from Jin.
"Slytherin next hmm? I've seen enough Ravenclaw for one day. Min Yoongi?" Namjoon heard the girls giggling again but that wasn't even registering in Yoongi's mind.
He took his position and cast the spell with ease, the memory being the time he got accepted into Hogwarts. It would seem a minuscule memory incapable of making someone so happy. But for Yoongi, a man that feels happiness so rare, it was such a huge moment. The animal that come out was expected. A python. Slithered across the floor pulsating with light as Namjoons fox did.
"That was easy for you. Have you already cast this spell Mr Min?" Yoongi was silent but nodded. "I have a passion for defence against the dark arts professor." He then returned to his seat.
"Jeon Jungkook." The professor called out and Jungkook slowly trudged to the centre.
"Expecto patronum!" Jungkook shouted. Why...why was nothing happening? Jungkook shook his wand. "Try again Jungkook, remember think of a most happy memory." Those words felt condescending, he knew how to cast the spell but he could never find a memory powerful enough. Jungkook doesn't experience happiness much.
"Expecto patronum!" He tried again with no luck. "What a fucking loser." Hoseok and Taehyung heard someone say that made a few students around them laugh.
"Come on Jungkook!" Jimin said out of nowhere and stood up. The students murmured and Jungkook was wondering where he knew Jimin from. "Yeah! Come on Jungkook!" Namjoon stood up as Jimin was. "You've got this!"
"You can do this!" Hoseok stood with his hand in Taehyungs making him blush and pass it off as if he was trying to pull the younger Hufflepuff to stand with him.
Soon enough Jin stood with Jimin and Yoongi stood to clap when Jimin looked his way. All the students stood and shouted encouragement to the youngest Slytherin boy.
"SILENCE!" The professor said and everyone seated themselves. "Jungkook," he sighed. "One more time."
Jungkook breathed deep and thought of his happiest moment. He searched deep but something in him struck. This moment, right now, is the happiest thing he could conjure. The amount of people who stood to encourage him, had him moved. He has never felt so much respect and love than this moment.
He corrected his stance, held out his wand and casted the spell. For a second Jungkook wanted to cry. The light appeared and out of his wand came a huge black panther. The students awed at the creature infront of them and then Jungkook cut the spell off.
Once seated and being smothered by his class mates Jin stood up. "I wanna try." He wandered down to the front looking as confident as ever. "Ah the pride of the Gryffindor shining through." The professor smiled. "Wand at the ready." Jin conjured his greatest memory and cast the spell. The light blinded and a crane spouted from the wand and took flight above the students.
"That's amazing!" Hani buzzed and clapped next to Namjoon. "He is isn't he?" Namjoon sighed. Hani smirked and side eyed him.
"Park Jimin." He professor scanned the crowd and the small gryffibdor stood up. "Tell you what, cut the time in half and I'll have....you two up there, come and perform with young Jimin." The prof said pointing over to Taehyung and Hoseok.
The three boys stood, wands at the ready. "Three, two, one!"
"Expecto patronum!" They boys cast simultaneously. Hoseok projecting a tiger, Taehyung projecting a bear and Jimin projecting a lion.
As the crowd cheered, Hoseok and Jimin high fived having the same type of animal. Taehyung was in a shroud of jealousy when Taehyung saw this but Hoseok turned around and grabbed him into a hug. "Well done TaeTae."
Taehyung heart beat abnormally loud for a second before wrapping his arms around Hoseok. "You too."
Namjoon walked out of the class with Hani and chatted about the mystical happenings of the class when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Seokjin, the Gryffindor boy. "Um, hi. I was wondering if you could help me with me with my divination homework? You- you're just really smart and- please don't think I'm using you! I just really need help." The boy took a puff of air after his incoherent sentence and rubbed the back of his neck.
Namjoon, just as shy, blushed and nodded. "Yeah, I can do that. The library at 6?" Jin nodded and walked away. Namjoon watched him walk away thinking about tonight already. Will they kiss? Oh god, no. That's too soon. "Earth to bubble head." Hani giggled and pulled him towards the common room.
