How To Tame A Snake | Jikook x Harry Potter ᶠᵘˡˡʷʳⁱᵗᵗᵉⁿ

Jungkook looked at himself in the sapphire-covered mirror which stood in the corner of his room. He had failed again. The disappointment was reflected in the deer brown eyes of the Ravenclaw. His black hair covered in wet strands half of his face. He was still wearing his Quidditch uniform.

He had failed again to outrun that cursed Slytherin. Maybe it was Park’s new broom, a firebolt, the latest model, of course.

Jungkook turned on the tap and let the cool water run into his hands to wash his heated face. If there was one thing he hated more in the world than arrogant Slytherins, it was losing to them.

The young man sighed and got ready to take off his uniform. The other Ravenclaws wanted to play some board games in the common room tonight. He didn’t really feel like it, if he was being honest, but it was a welcome distraction from the plight of the game.

The hot water of the shower dulled Jungkook’s senses. He loved to have time for himself, it was easier to think about certain things when you’re alone. Of course, he could also have just used a cleaning spell, but that was too easy for him.

Jungkook came from a wizard family in second generation, which meant that both of his grandparents were muggles. Of course, he didn’t talk about this a lot in Hogwarts. There were still too many wizards and witches, which believed in pure blood, within these walls.

Jungkook changed quickly and then fetched his books from the chest at the end of his bed.
If he was honest, he was quite happy to share his room only with Yugyeom, his best friend. And luckily he was not often in that room, but preferred to spend his time in the Quidditch field.

Yugyeom wanted to play in the national team at some point, so he trained like a maniac to achieve his dream one day. Jungkook admired him for it, he himself loved Quidditch very much and he was also relatively good, but his wish was to become an auror like his uncle.

The Ravenclaw spread out his books on the desk which stood in front of one of the windows that lit up the tower room. From there one had a beautiful view of the dark lake and the school’s lands.

“Old Runes and I will never be friends.” Jungkook groaned after nearly two hours of trying to decipher a simple sentence in runic writing. Sometimes he thought about signing up for fortune-telling classes, you could at least sleep while having the class.

The young man was still surprised that the hat had sent him to Ravenclaw. He had expected everything, even Slytherin but Ravenclaw was the one house that had never crossed his mind. He wasn’t dumb, not at all and was a good learner, but when he looked at some of the other students in his house, he still felt quite out of place now and then.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. A hand movement from Jungkook and the door opened by itself. Outside the door stood a tall young man with silver hair and a mischievous smile on his lips.

“Oh hey Namjoon, I wasn’t expecting company.” Jungkook smiled at the older student.

“You wanted to join our game night, right? I thought I’d come get you before you forget about it again.” Jungkook laughed as he put his books back in the trunk.

“Thank you, I can always count on you.”
“That’s what I’m here for, I’m not the spokesman for the House Ravenclaw for nothing.” You could hear the pride in Namjoon’s voice.

Kim Namjoon was a full-blooded wizard, his family had been in Ravenclaw for generations, and one of his aunts was even a friend of Luna Lovegood. It was no surprise that he had become the student representative of the house and he did his job really well, you have to give him credit for that. Even though he could be a bit clumsy from time to time.

“Oh, have you guys started without us?” Namjoon asked with disappointment in his voice. “I told them to wait for you.” Yugyeom, who had his arm around a blonde girl, rolled his eyes. “It’s alright. One magic chess board is still available.” Jungkook sat down with Namjoon at one of the magic chess tables and started playing.

It was a fun evening with lots of laughing and talking. “Hey, I’m sorry to interrupt your wild round.” A soft and quiet voice filled the room. “But it would be incredibly nice if you would go to sleep slowly now.” A gentle smile formed on the lips of Ravenclaw’s head teacher, Lissy Lovegood. Like her cousin Luna, she had long blond hair and bright blue eyes, and the way she spoke and moved als was quite similar to that of her famous relative.

“Of course Miss Lovegood, I will make sure that every student goes to bed at the appropriate time.” Namjoon stood up and smiled at the young teacher.

“Thank you Mr. Kim, I can always count on you.” Miss Lovegood whispered and then left the Ravenclaw common room.

“I’m sorry to break up the round here, but you heard Miss Lovegood. Off to bed with you.” Said Namjoon firmly, and with a wave of his hand made sure the room was tidy. With much laughter and chatter, the students went to their rooms.

Jungkook and Yugyeom did the same after saying goodbye to Namjoon and wishing him good night.

“That game today was a disaster right, JK?” Yugyeom sighed and let himself fall on his bed. Yugyeom was a half-breed, even if he detested the term. He was the child of a witch and a Muggle, a non-wizard. Although the Ravenclaw had grown up with magic, he had spent the first twelve years of his life far away from the wizarding world.

“Don’t remind me of that game,” growled Jungkook as he changed his clothes.
“These dirty snakes make me so mad.” Yugyeom smiled slightly.

“But you have to admit that Park is really good with his broom.”

“It’s a firebolt, you don’t have to be good at flying, the broom is the fastest there is.” Jungkook turned to his best friend. “We should also demand new brooms for our team. With our old nimbus we don’t stand a chance against Slytherin.”

Yugyeom laughed softly. “Do you seriously think Lovegood would support this? She always says where there is a will there’s a way. We should rely on our talent.”

Jungkook rolled his eyes. “Rely on our talent. I know I’m a better Seeker, but that doesn’t make my broom any faster.” Frustrated, the younger one fell on his bed and stared at the ceiling, which was now strewn with thousands of stars.

“Someday you’ll defeat Park and then we’ll celebrate with lots of butterbeer and a trip to Hogsmead, agreed?” Yugyeom asked.

Jungkook turned to his best friend. “Okay deal, next time let’s show the snakes what we got.”
