jimin changed into a loose long sleeved shirt and some black jeans before placing his black cloak over him, not forgetting to wrap a slytherin scarf around his neck from the cold weather.

jimin didn't care about how late he was going to be for his first lesson, he just strolled into potions and ignored professor minghaos rant about the benefits of arriving to class on time. minghao replaced slughorn shortly after he retired, but he was annoyingly strict, jimin wished he could have the retiree back.

"sit down park, that's 10 points from slytherin."

jimin scowled and sat down on the empty seat nearest to him, he glanced around at the slytherins who gave him hateful glares, and the gryffindors who kept on smirking as they whispered about him.

jimin noticed three pairs of eyes pointedly staring at him, of course the kim brothers had to be in his class, because life was so fair.

jimin glanced at the person sitting next him, letting out an irritated sigh before he got his book and quill out, ignoring jungkooks feeble attempts to talk to him.

"jimin, i need to talk to you." jungkook pleaded, but jimin only glared at jungkook.
"look, jungkook, i've known you for less than 10 minutes, stop acting like we're friends."
jungkook looked hurt as he went back to taking notes, jimin could only curse his cold nature.

the potions practical was attempting to make a healing potion, ever since the battle of hogwarts it was required to learn more practical potions, ones which would actually prove useful in real life.

jimin set his equipment out before going to measure the wormwood he left on the table, only to find that is was already measured and neatly arranged.
"i hope you don't mind." jungkook murmured, giving him a small smile. jimin sighed and gave jungkook a quiet "thank you" before returning to his potion.

soon enough the cauldron was letting off clouds of smoke as he brewed the potion he was making, he noticed jungkook had made a surprisingly good potion so far.

jimin heard footsteps approaching behind him, he turned around only to stare at taehyung, with namjoon and seokjin close behind. taehyung had holding onto a beaker with a grin,
"hey class," taehyung raised his voice, gaining everyone's attention, "let's see if my potion works, i'll test it on jimins arm!"

jimin suddenly flinched back as taehyung grabbed his arm and pulled the sleeve up, the class started laughing at the obvious cuts and burns all the way up jimins arm. taehyung poured the suspiciously translucent liquid all over jimins arm, before the older screamed in pain.

"what the fuck did you put in that potion?" jungkook yelled at taehyung furiously, grabbing the collar of his robes. taehyung let out a chuckle before answering.
"my mother's a chemist at home, it's like potions but the muggle way instead-"
jungkook shook him angrily, "get to the fucking point!"
"ok, ok! so i stole some of her undiluted sulfuric acid, took it to school and mixed it with the potion! look at what it does to parks skin."

jungkook let go of taehyungs collar and turned around, his eyes widened as jimin crouched onto the floor, clutching his burning arm in pain. the skin was now red and raw, some parts bleeding heavily as the acid worked it's way past his skin.

"someone take mr. park to the hospital wing!" professor minghao suddenly ordered, he had just realised the situation going on after looking up from his phone, (a thing you could buy in the muggle world.)

jungkook made sure to harshly shove taehyung out of the way as he grabbed jimins other arm and rushed to the hospital wing, jimin kept on letting out little whimpers of pain as the acid ate away his skin, it broke jungkooks heart.

they soon arrived at the hospital wing to be greeted by the newly hired healer, madam jeongyeon. she gave jimins arm one look before telling him to sit on a seat whilst she grabbed some healing cream.

jungkook watched jimins little hisses of pain as the matron applied cream to his heavily bleeding arm, soon it looked like the process of acid was rewinding, except now his skin was clear with no scars.

jimin sighed with relief as he sat up straight and tried to push his body up, although his left arm which had received the acid was now protesting painfully.

"you're going to need a cast, park, there's something about these muggle potions that don't let the bones be healed by magic." jeongyeon sighed, grabbing the cast and carefully fitting it over his arm before giving him a free-to-leave.

jungkook smiled at jimin as they walked out of the hospital wing, the silver haired slytherin sudden stopped in his tracks.
"jungkook, please, i don't want to go back there." jimin whispered, staring at the floor guiltily. jungkook smiled and shrugged, "sure, as long as you're happy."

"but i'm not happy."

jungkook stared at jimin in worry as the words escaped his lips, jimins eyes widened and he turned away, "ignore me, can we go somewhere else?"
jungkook nodded and led jimin to a corridor that branched off the third floor, it was mostly hidden and had an extremely low chance of anyone crossing it.

"we won't get filch here, the mans finally lost his head from being so old," jungkook grinned, "he just walks in circles on the second floor, rambling about all the cats that he's adopted only to realise they've all run away."
jungkook was surprised to hear a little giggle escape jimins lips, he smiled proudly at what he had achieved.

"jungkook, i don't really know much about you, i've never seen you before." jimin murmured, staring into jungkooks intoxicating dark eyes.
"i've always been here, but nobody's ever really noticed me." jungkook smiled sadly, "barely anyone in my dormitory even knows my name, although i do have two friends.. that sounds lame though." jungkook quietly laughed before glancing back at jimin,

"at least you have friends."

jungkook frowned at jimins words before his face cleared, and he genuinely smiled.
"jimin, i'm your friend!" jungkook exclaimed excitedly, giving jimin an adorable bunny smile, the older was struggling to tame a blush.

"fine, i guess you're my friend then." jimin murmured, but those words make jungkooks day complete. suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed nearby, the two boys froze with fear.
"crap, filch managed to gather some braincells today." jungkook hissed as he took jimins arm and sprinted into the nearest empty room, closing the door behind him, he then looked up at jimin.

for some reason the older was furiously blushing.

jungkook realised he was trapping jimin against a wall with his arms, jungkook gasped and took a few steps back.
"oh god i'm sorry, i didn't realise i was doing that!" jungkook groaned, his cheeks growing warm.

was it the exercise, or being so close to jimin make my heart flutter so quickly?
