Chapter Text
If anyone had asked jungkook, even a few days ago, if he was nervous for the Triwizard Tournament, he would have brushed it off with a proud smile saying
"jeon jungkook is never scared of anything"
But right now as he stood in front of the arena ,waiting for his name to be called, he was definitely questioning all his life choices.. And deep in his heart he knew.... He was going to die.
-----------
Jungkook, a Fifth year proud Slytherin ,could distinctly remember the day when he had first stepped into Hogwarts, on his very birthday. He had heard from his parents who themselves were in Slytherin, that how hogwarts was going to change his life.
Now at the age of 15 , with most of his life spent there he couldn't deny it. It was definitely his another home and a place where he truly belonged.
On his sorting ceremony the Sorting Hat had spent exactly 5 mins to decide whether to put him in Slytherin or Gryffindor . If Jungkook had turned out to be in Gryffindor he would still be happy for his parents were supportive and didnot really case wht house he went in. Nonetheless jungkook was satisfied.
11 year old jungkook had promised his parents like an obedient boy he is that he was going to study well and work hard. Though he did keep his promise, but his hard work was mainly seen during Quidditch. As for study? He was not bad either. But Quidditch was something he loved and was passionate about. He had decided to pursue the sport after he graduated.
When jungkook had first went for the tryouts at the tender age of 12 , it was a shock to everyone, for he was found suitable for all the positions, beater, chaser, seeker u name it. Now he was not only Slytherin's seeker but also the future , team captain.
Apart from all this he was definitely most grateful for the friends he had. Yoongi being the closest. A fellow Slytherin, in the seventh year. Yoongi is ot very talkative but he is very welcoming. He has eyes like his cat and is always sleepy but once he is on the field he is a beast. Yoongi is a chaser and the present team captain. his cat like eyes have never missed an aim . And their love for quidditch is what brought them close and Jungkook would never voice it out but he definitely looked up to him and a part of him felt sad knowing it was his last year.
Now coming to another 7th year student, Seokjin, a Hufflepuff. He was yoongi's friend making him jungkook's friend too. He is really grateful to seokjin for treating him like a baby brother and taking care of him ,all these years .
Next , is his savior ,6 th year Ravenclaw, Namjoon. Without his help jungkook would have definitely failed potions and transfiguration and maybe charms okay maybe everything.....Namjoon helped him in most subjects except Herbology. Let's just say he not good with screaming and crying plants and is very clumsy.clumsy with the capital C. That job is for seokjin.
Seokjin's brother Taehyung, a Gryffindor is in his grade and just like his brother, is very handsome. Not only girls but also boys can't help but take another look when the siblings pass by. Taehyung is also good at herbology and care for magical creatures.
He and Taehyung share a friendly rivalry as Taehyung is a part of the Gryffindor quidditch team as a beater. Usually bubbly and friendly Taehyung turns wild on the field. Once a ravenclaw had tried to push his best friend off ,from his broomstick . This made him so angry he threw his baton on the guy's head. Needless to say the guy suffered more injuries than his best friend.
Which brings us to his infamous best friend ,none other that the Park Jimin, another Gryffindor of their grade. He and jungkook first met on the train and jungkook might have developed little crush on him or how yoongi says..really like him. Jimin is also a seeker and is really good at it. But what he is better at? Distracting jungkook during the match.
Yoongi still thinks jungkook is in denial with his feelings.
Last, is 6 th year Hufflepuff, Hosoek better known as hobi. Always laughing and making others laugh,friendly, a ray of sunshine in everyones life. He is the perfect example of a Hufflepuff. .
------------
It was the start of his fifth year in hogwarts. Jungkook was all packed with his luggage and his black cat ,ironically named Lumos. His parents had come to see him off. As he went around the platform 9 and 3 quarters meeting his friends,his eyes suddenly fell on a calico cat rubbing at his feet. It did not take him a second to identify the cat and quickly turned around. And as he predicted, there was jimin a few foot away with his eyes smile full on display.
"Jungkookieeeeee" Jimin rushed towards jungkook with open arms and jumped on him. Jungkook ,catching him in a hug with ease and not even a slight effort to maintain balance. Jimin was hugging him like a koala , hanging from his shoulder with his feet up the ground because of the evident height difference.
"Kookieee I missed u so much. I even brought u gifts from the muggel world" Jimin said while rubbing his cheek on jungkook's neck
The close proximity made jungkook blush but he hoped jimin would not see it.
"Oh god hyung I missed u too" He chuckeld.
Jimin then raised his head as jungkook turned his face to have a better look at his precious jiminie.
They looked into each other's eyes, smiling stupidly, still in the hugging position. but the beautiful moment was ruined by a cough from jungkook 's father.
"Oops " Jimin quickly hopped down frm jungkook's shoulders while jungkooks eyes wandered everywhere except on his father.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Jeon" Jimin said with a shy wave.
"Cmon jimin we know since u were 11 it's high time u call us uncle and aunt. Plus ur such a good frnd of jungkooks. He is always talking abt u at home. Right jungkook" His father nudged him with a smirk.
"Jimin don't pay attention to him" Jungkook quicky said
"Jungkook don't be rude." It was his mom
"Jimin dear his father is right. By the way how r your parents? " She says easing jungkook's nervousness
"Ahh same old muggle jobs. They came here with me but had to leave early"
"Oh that's bad , I would have loved to meet the parents of my son's future boyf...
" MOMM!! "
"... F BEST!! YES BOY BEST FRND!!! "
"Smooth" Added Mr jeon smitking even more.
Jimin was definitely lost in the speaking screaming and smirking and realised it was high time to take leave from them
"Uhmm not to be rude but I'll go and look for the others. See u later jungkook. Bbye uncle bye aunt jeon"
Once he was out of sight jungkook snapped
"Seriously dad and mom what was tht boyfriend?!!!! "
"Cmon jungkook u like him anyone can see tht"
"Mom no I don't... I mean maybe I do... No dad don't give me tht look..we r jst great frnds that's all ... "
"Seriously jungkook? Friends don't jump on them for a hug every year.ypu guys do this pda thing as if a soldier came back frm war!! Every year!!! Who r u kidding!! How does yoongi even tolerate u?? " Mr jeon groaned as he continued
"Jungkook listen , don't hide ur feelings, u know he is a nice boy ,we like him, and we know u do too. Stop denying and ask him out otherwise u will miss ur chance"
Jungkook didn't speak further. At the same time the train whistled. Jungkook said his goodbyes to his parents getting a pat on his head by his dad and a hug full of kisses from his mother.
He boarded the train and was welcomed by his little group of friends. The journey was filled with laughter, sharing stories and definitely eating candies.
And maybe a screaming hobi as a frog had jumped on his head.
----------
First day at hogwarts means the sorting of the new students followed by the feast or the best part of the day as seokjin likes to say.
Jungkook was sitting beside yoongi at the Slytherin table talking with the others when the headmaster tinkled his goblet.
"I have a very important announcement to make. So I need all your attention"
Once he made sure there was complete silence he continued
"The ministry and the other schools have decided tht the Triwizard Tournament will be held this year and Hogwarts will be the hosting school"
A roar of cheer and applause went round the hall. The Triwizard tournament was not uncommon for them. After the battle of Hogwarts it took place several times,Last time being 5 years ago when the Beaubaxton academy was the host. The tournament does not have a fixed date or year, it's jst when the ministry and the schools find it suitable. This makes it more exciting. Moreover there has been no deaths since the death of Mr Cedric Diggory, thus it was considered safe and the students who are able to watch or participate are considered really lucky.
"SILENCE!!..... I m still not done"
The headmaster's sonorous voice was enough to make the hall go silent again.
"Now this year there has been a change. we will be repeating two tasks which were there during the time of Mr Harry Potter, and it will be done to pay our respects to Mr cedric diggory who unfortunately lost his life that year. In his memory, we have decided that two out of three tasks will be repeated with some changes obviously and the last one would still remain a mystery.
The goblet of fire would be set up and students from fourth to seventh grade are eligible to put their names into the fire. Any student below the age line is prohibited from putting his name into the goblet. The other schools ,Drumstrang and Beaubaxton will be arriving next month which will be followed with the selection of the champions. Till then all the quidditch matches will be on hold."
A groan came out of the students bt nonetheless they were happy to be lucky enough to be a part of this grand tournament.
-----------
"Jungkook think of it?!! "
"I m sure jin hyung....even jimin is doing it"
It was the day ,the other schools were going to come. Jungkook had decided to put his name into the goblet and so had Taehyung and jimin.
"Seriously u maknaes have a death wish or something? " Now this was yoongi desperately trying to change their minds. Jin on the other hand was so frustrated that he was stuffing his mouth with plain bread... Like not even butter.. Jin eating bread without butter is a game changer.
"Hyung we r not cowards like you" Taehyung spoke snatching the bread from his brothers hands
"Tae mom's gonna kill me if u do this plus we r smart u guys r the fools here"
"Hyung I think u r overreacting, hogwarts knows what it is doing. They must have taken measures" Namjoon said with a shrug as if it was the most obvious thing coming out of the ravenclaw's mouth.
"Yeah right last time people trusted HOGWARTS CEDRIC DIED , Voltermort returned and battle of hogwarts took place.yeah definitely trusting"
Yoongi said giving Namjoon a death glare. Namjoon opened his mouth to speak but with yoongi's cat eyes and wand both pointed at him made him stop.
"Guys chill it's going to be okay. Plus many students r giving their names. We have nearly no chance to be picked honestly."
"Yeah jimin is right, it's just for fun that's all and cmonnnnn there has been no deaths after the harry Potter tournament. "
Hobi who had been quietly listening to their banter finally spoke out
"Tae why did u give ur name exactly...u r really into quidditch but not really in these kind of stuffs then why? "
"Easy...cuz jimin did" taehyung said putting his arms around jimins shoulders and giving his boxy smile
Jimin laughed loudly as yoongi slapping his head and jin mumbling on repeat " Mom's gonna kill me" while chocking on his bread as Namjoon rubs his back and hobi gives him a glass of water . As for jungkook he threw glares at taehyung's arm around jimin.
--------------
The welcome
"First comes the students of the Beauxbatons academy" The headmaster announced.
A roar of applause and cheering resonated as the hogwarts students stood on the balcony side watching the students from the other two schools arrive.
The first one was a huge carriage,carried by several abraxans. The carriage was a light blue all over with beautiful intricate designs made in silver and gold.
"Beautiful" Jungkook heard jimin, as he clutched jungkook's green robes.
"Next we have the drumstang "
Another round of cheer arose and they could see the usual small mast of drumstang above water. But then it started rising up and up and soon it was the largest ship one could ever come across. The ship ,carrying hundreds of students was a pitch black colour with the sails and the flag having the emblem of the school.
"Since both the guest schools have arrived we will hold a feast tonight . This would be to offer our warm welcome to the guest schools... Remember this is not just a tournament bt also an opportunity to make new friends.
Furthermore today the goblet will give the names of the champions of the 3 schools in the presence of all the students,headmasters and the judges after the feast is over. Now u may all disperse"
"Goddd I can't believe this is finally happening" Tarhyung said while shaking yoongi furiously.
"Control your tits u shit... Consider yourself lucky if u r not picked! It's a straight road to heaven or maybe hell for u"
Yoongi snarled trying to get taehyung off him
"Hyung i don't have much chance. Of getting selected bt if am chosen I will make sure we win" Jungkook grinned widely.
"Yah don't think it's easy and Mr kim taehyung if u die mom is gonna kill me. Why?? Why put my life in danger too!!! " Seokjin said as he clawed his brothers hair.
"Hyungggggg let it goo, namjoon hyung take him away"
"No nam stay back!! Don't!! This shit will be killed by me and hobi!! pack some extra food tonight. "
"Why? " Hobi questioned seriously not understanding the motive
"Cuz I m frustrated and when I m frustrated I m hungry and when I am hungry I can't sleep and I need my beauty sleep. "
"Got it"
------------
Feast
the hogwarts students were assembled in the great hall sitting in their respective house tables waiting for the event to start. It was an age old tradition, that the guest schools will introduce themselves by performing something, marking the beginning of the games.
Frst the door opened, and in came the Beauxbatons students ,the girls in the front and then the boys in the back. Their silk blue robes shining under the light. The girls had sparkles shooting out from their palms. The boys flicked their wands in the air and caught them in perfect sync. Blue beam shooting from the wand as well. The sparkles and the beams united to form the beauxbaton emblem.
The students watched in awe as the girls did a mini dance followed by the boys. Little blue birds and butterflies flying over their heads. Everything was beautiful and jungkook caught sight of jimin giggling on the other table and then waving at someone. Jungkook quickly turned to see who he was waving at and found it was none other thn the boy who was leading the Beauxbatons boys. One could certainly not deny tht the Beauxbaton students were really really beautiful ,mostly because they were half veelas.
The boy in question was also quite charming though jungkook would never accept tht. The boy saw jimin waving at him and gave him a wink to which jimin blushed as taehyung laughed at him completely unaware tht someone on the other table, Slytherin to be precise, was plotting a murder.
Next came the drumstang. Complete opposite to the Beauxbatons. The glitter and the shine all gone and replaced by fire and smoke. The students dressed in pitch black robes and fur coats entered carrying thinck sticks and as it hit the ground it produced flames which extinguished the moment the stick was lifted. It was more like a parade. Unlike the other school they had a rough exterior and serious looking faces. The falmes erupting from the sticks turned into several Phoenix , flew over their heads and united to form the drumstarng emblem. and suddenly a dragon of fire reached the ceiling and blasted into fireworks. Everyone was cheering and hooting.
At last the headmaster flicked his fingers and all the candles of the hall were lit and the feast began.
Drumstang shared tables with slytherin and ravenclaw. While Beauxbatons shared it with gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
Indeed the house elves had put up a great effort in making all those variety of food to suit the taste of all. The feast was filled with laughter and making new friends. Jungkook could see jimin and taehyung in the gryffindor table together as always ,bt what was different ,was tht the Beauxbaton boy who dared to wink at jimin was seated beside him. He said something in jimin's ear which made him laugh so hard tht he nearly fell on the guy.
"Someone's jealous" It was yoongi who broke jungkooks trail of thoughts
"Who ? Cuz definitely not me" He groaned
"Yeah right then why is the fork bent like tht. Seriously u have been bending the fork since past few mins and u did not even notice. Chill man tht guy is not gonna take ur jiminie away. It's jst fr a few days and then he will be gone. "
"Hah! I m not jealous of him. Jimin is never gonna choose him. "
"And wht makes u think tht? He is pretty handsome and they seem to get along pretty well" Yoongi smirked
"Shut up! And I m handsome too!! "
Yoongi couldn't stop himself from laughing.
"Jungkook u guys r soo different. He is tall lean probably a 6 or 7th year and yes he has a strikingly handsome face.....
.....U on the other hand ...uhm let's see....definitely tall fr a fifth year bt look at ur face ... It's a bunny . And body is like a pig. Muscle pig. One would even think u r older thn ur age because of ur shape. And our jiminie here probably likes lean figure like a model .. "
"U mean he doesn't like my shape"
Okay maybe yoongi was only teasing him but Taemin was definitely model like bt so was jungkook and he knew that. His body was too built for a 5 th year. And who was yoongi kidding!!jimin definitely liked him.
"Aish jungkook I m kidding. Jimin is probably talking to him as a friend nothing more..don't think much. "
"Whatever'" Jungkook said concentrating on the chicken piece on his plate which suddenly seemed very interesting.
Finally it was time for the names of the champions to be called out.
Again with a flick of the fingers the candle lights were extinguished. The entire Hall beacame dark and the only light was coming from the goblet. It gave a blue flame which illuminated the hall dimly.
Everyone waited with bated breaths and hearts full of anticipation. Taehyung and jimin held hands and closed their eyes. Jungkook only wished who ever God was looking at him to hear his prayers and make him the champion. while Yoongi and jin wished that none of the maknaes were selected. namjoon and hobi just hoped everything would be fine.
"Following the tradition, the order of the names would be Beauxbatons followed by drumstang and last hogwarts. Once the goblet has given its choice, the candidate cannot back out or withdraw his name. Now we shall start with the ceremony and may the best be chosen"
silence fell in the dimly lit Hall. The blue fire of the goblet suddenly became bigger and brighter and then popped out a half burnt piece of paper.
"The champion from the beaubaxtons is.............. Lee Taemin.!!! "
A heavy round of applause came from the beaubaxtons students. To jungkook's dismay Lee taemin was no one but the boy who had been sitting beside jimin all this time. Seriously ,the heavens were playing games with him. The boy got up from his seat receiving pats and hugs from his fellow students and finally walked proudly to the headmaster. The cheers died down while taemin took a seat on the stage.
Jungkook was now even more determined to be a a champion .
'Tht bitch !! first jimin and now a champion. Seriously?!! I have to be a champion I ll show him who is the real winner here'
"Uh... Jungkook u r mumbling.. " Yoongi interrupted
"Sorry hyung"
"Next is drumstang"
The goblet repeated the same action and spat out a yellow paper.
"From drumstang we have...... Song weilong. "The drumstang students roared as a tall, very tall and calm looking guy got up and proceeded towards the headmasters. Unlike the other drumstang students he seemed calm and collected with only a mild smile receiving congratulation and stares from the girls, cuz no doubt he was handsome.
"Now hogwarts , the host school"
Finally it was time. Jimin was looking at jungkook giving him a nervous smile. Jungkook nodded in response.
5,6 and 7th Year students had given their names. Very few from fifth, a little more from 6 th and many frm 7 th. He barely had the chance to get selected and winning was far from the point. But looking at jimin and remembering the taemin guy he suddenly recalled his fathers words
" Take him while u can" No he needs to get this. He wants to tell jimin how he feels and show him he is better thn the rest and tht taemin guy especially. "
With eyes closed he could hear his heart beating in his ears. "Plss let it be me plss let it be me"
It seemed like hours had passed when the headmaster finally announced.
"And the hogwarts champion is......
.........Jeon jungkook"
Jungkook didnot know wht just happened. His wish did come true after all. He could not hear the claps not even the hooting . He was in a trance.
'I don't believe it I m a..... Champion'
His eyes met jimin's among all the chaos but..... .......Jimin did not seem happy as he smiled at jungkook , it was not the usual smile and his eyes . His eyes were glossy as if he was a second away from crying.
Is he sad? Why is he sad? Did he want to be a champion.? Did I take his chance away ? Is he angry? Several questions ran through his mind. He could not not concentrate and did not realize that he had already reached the stage.
"Congratulations to all the champions.....Ur frst task will be in a week from now. So be prepared for this is not child's play..... U have been chosen because of ur will, dedication, strength and wit so be brave and may the best win"
As the students left the hall, it was only the three champions with the headmasters and judges.
"U three r the champions so gear up for ur first task. As we have already informed some tasks will be repeated, the frst task this time will also have dragons but there will be some change. U have two days to prepare urself okay? Am i clear? "
"Yes sir" The three said in unison
"Good now off to bed"
-----------
Timeskip
Jungkook was hurrying to find jimin before he went to the gryffindor room. But his path was blocked by the stupid handsome boy, Lee taemin.
"Hello. I hope I m not disturbing u, my self Lee taemin" He stretched out a hand as he introduced himself.
"Yeah jeon jungkook, but u see u r kinda bothering me for I m in a hurry" Jungkook said shaking his hand harshly
"Oof easy boy,jimin was right u r strong" He chuckled.
The mention of jimin's name stopped him in his tracks
"U know jimin? " As if he did not see them being all gigly and chatty
"Oh he did not tell u? I was actually his neighbour before I changed houses. We used to play together but we r still in touch and share letters and all and of course call each other, like him my parents are also both muggles. "
"Oh so childhood frnd? So u r like a brother to him? " Jungkook really wanted the answer to be yes
"Ahh no no before maybe ....now? No I mean he is pretty cute greatt personality and all. It's hard not to like him"
"Oh. Well gotta go. Goodnight" Jungkook now really wanted to bury this guy
"Hey ,he talks abt u alot so maybe u can help me impress him? Wht u say? " He said smirking
"How about no! Now seriously u r really annoying me so goodnight! "
"Woah !easy bud, why am I having the vibes u like my jimin too? " Jungkook was inching close to punching the smirk out of tht shits face.
"Listen ,I do Or maybe i dont. But thats none of ur business. And fr the record he is not ur jimin, now fuck off"
"Aww poor jungkookie thts not how u talk to elders .or u r overly proud on being the youngest champion this year and now u r sure jimin is gonna be urs. In ur dreams bud. He knows me since childhood and honestly I don't even need ur help, I just wanted to know who this jungkookie is, who he talks abt so much. But u know wht jungkookieee I m not only gonna win this tournament but also jimin, mark my words, I m not letting him go. "
"Listen here u bitch , as for jimin ,dont talk abt him in front of me as if u own him. And tournament? Well I will show u who is the real winner here" He said as his eyes filled with rage.
How dare he call jimin 'my jimin' he definitely has a death wish. Jungkook was so close to punching him when someone pulled him back
"Leave it" It was a deep voice tht stopped him.
On turning he found the drunstrang champion song weilong if he remembers correctly.
"I saw wht happened, dont waste ur time on those kind of people. " He said as jungkook glared at taemins back.
"Listen, I m not good with words but if u really like tht jimmy guy, fight for it , it doesn't matter wht others think. people like him don't know wht love is. U get me"
"Yeah.... Thanks ....by the way myself. "
"Jeon jungkook. I know, youngest champion this year. Don't worry u were chosen by the goblet because it saw ur bravery. for this tournament we r all equally capable to win. Tht taemin guy can say wht ever he wants but deep within he knows u r strong and brave, and he is speaking just out of jealousy"
"Umm thanks.. Hyung? I mean if u don't mind me calling u tht"
The guy finally broke his serious facade and replaced it with a gentle smile. God even jungkook wanted to swoon.
"U can ...infact...I'll like tht. Well gooodnight jungkook and best of luck"
"Yeah bye hyung"
With tht jungkook proceeded towards the slytherin dormitory keeping in mind to talk to jimin , first thing next morning. Once he left the great hall he was tackled to the floor. Something or someone had jumped on him which made him lose balance, resulting in both his and the intruders fall.
"Ahh wtf! " Jhngkook groaned rubbing his head as he looked down to curse whoever decided to attack him. But as he did , he saw a small body curled around him with his face dug into his chest and gripping the sides of his robes.
"Jimin.... What is wrong? Why r u crying? R u angry with me??!. "
"Shut up!! Jeon jungkook shut up.!! "
Jungkook just looked at jimin dumbfounded. The moment in itself was awkward. He, lying on the floor with jimin on top of him plus crying and shouting at him. Anybody who would see them will think otherwise.
"Am i angry??!! I have all the rights to be angry. Y would u put ur fcking name in tht mother fcking goblet" jimin spoke as a tear rolled down his eyes and fell on jungkooks shirt leaving a wet patch.
" Jimin if I knew u were so determined to participate I would not have given my name in the goblet. I m sorry! "
"Shut up!!! U think I m angry for tht. Jungkook u r a champion. 2 days frm now u r going to participate in one of the most deadly tournament. What if something happens to u, wht if something....like cedric?? " Jimin sniffed but ended up crying even more, .
"Jimin calm down" Jungkook said while petting his head.
"Hey jimin.. Look up cmon"
crying jimin, was definitely something he had never seen infact never wanted to. Jimin didnot deserve to cry.
"Look u knew the risks right and u put ur name too so it's okay"
"Jungkook u don't understand. I did not put my name because I wanted to but I did not want u to participate. So i gave my name,in the hopes it can reduce ur chances. " Jimin whisper shouted frustrated.
"Wht? " Okay now tht did not make any sense to jungkook
"I saw how determined u were. I was scared if u get selected something bad will happen so I put my name too. Cuz it would be better if it will be me thn u will be safe and fine bt i guess my resolve was not strong enough to be chosen. "
Jungkook could not believe his ears. Jimin put his name because of him, to protect him.!!
"Jimin ahh i will be fine ,, hey hey listen ...shhhh....stop crying" Wiping the tears frm his eyes he slowly pulled him into a hug. Jimin was seated comfortablly on his knees and again anyone entering at the moment would definitely get the wrong idea bt jungkook was not giving two shits
"Listen to me.. I will be fine, I promise. Let me do this jimin. Don't be angry with me and u don't have to protect me. Ur presence , ur smile, ur hugs is itself my security, my home... U understand???"
Jimin nodded still sniffing .
"Stop crying and I promise I will not only be safe but also win the trophy...for u.."jungkook said with a cheeky grin only to receive a harmless punch on the shoulder
-----------
Tht night jungkook couldn't think abt anything bt jimin, jimin crying, jimin angry,jimin jimin and jimin.....the promises he made, not even sure if he can fulfill them and last the small kiss jimin left on his cheek before rushing towards his own dorm.(he is never going to wash it)
While the entire Slytherin dormitory was rejoicing and congratulating jungkook , yoongi was trying to explain him how big of a deal it was. But his mind was stuck on a particular cord. The cord named jimin.
---------------
Two days passed in jungkook getting lots of praises and attention from the hogwarts students, and his hyungs worrying about him,
namjoon teaching him spells,
"Seriously jungkook thts not how u flick ur wand. follow my gesture. If u continue this u r seriously as good as dead"
seokjin feeding him saying 'u need to eat to gain strength'
Followed by yoongis continuous 'use ur wit jungkook , and dont die jst do whatever bt don't get hurt"
Hobi and Taehyung were prepared for cheering with a small cheering squad. banners, posters ,pom poms and even bets. Those bitches....
And last jimin, well he is always clinging to jungkook and reminding him of the promise every hour, in class, in field and even thorough owls.
Yes owls .. Jimin sent him an owl the night before the event, wishing him a best of luck ,and tht he should remember his promise and be careful and he will be rooting for him. Yoongi had teased him a lot about it
"Now jungkookie is gonna keep his crush's letter with him forever and later show them to his children and maybe grandchildren"
"Shut up hyung wht do u think I am 5? "
Well least to say yoongi found the letter in jungkooks potions books a few days later bt decided to stay quiet.
------------------------------------
The day of the first match.
The whole night jungkook couldn't sleep properly.
He had received an owl from his parents wishing him luck and tht he should take care of himself. at the same time he could not get his mind off the words he had said to taemin. He was determined to win not for just himself but for jimin as well. He needed to, he had to.
Jimin had later on told him about taemin. They were neighbours and childhood frnds and used to play together , some time later taemins parents shifted homes but they still continued to send each other letters and with the existence of mobile phones, communication became easier. Yes even wizards use phones and know what is technology. The wizarding world is now fully adapted with the muggle world. However when at school, owing to the bad signal , owls became the only way of communication . Nonetheless the wizarding world is really grateful to these muggle inventions.
------------
"Jungkook wake up" It was 6 when yoongi woke him up
"Get ready jungkook have ur breakfast, it's a big day"
Jungkook quickly got up, showered and got dressed with the clothes he had been given, made specially for the tournament.
He walked silently to the great Hall with yoongi where he was welcomed by his 5 other friends.
Jungkook was quiet the entire breakfast.
He was chewing his bread staring into space when he flinched cuz of a slight touch on his hand.
"Oh sorry "
"Aah jimin.. No it's alright just feeling a little weird"
Jimin slowly entangled their fingers and made jungkook turn towards himself.
"Listen jungkook, u will be fine. I know u will be. U don't have anything to prove, just be urself doesn't matter if u win or lose... Okay? "
Jungkook suddenly felt like crying, he nodded as jimin smiled with his eye smile and pulled him into a warm hug as the others looked at them fondly.
"Ahem am I interrupting something"
The pair quickly parted,
'What is with people popping out when I hug jimin'
"Ahh taemin hyung! Good luck to u too"
"Aww jiminie I ll be just fine but more good luck to kookie , I mean kookie u r young and inexperienced I hope u don't hurt urself" He said chuckling .
Jungkook glared at him while the others could feel the tension jn the air.
"Uhh hyung thats not very nice thing to say.. Moreover my...i mean our jungkookie will be fine.... And i know this cuz...
....I believe in him" Jimin ended looking at jungkook with a firm look .
"Oh my jiminie I m joking....by the way I have something to talk to u can u just .. " He gestured towards a corner
Jimins nervous eyes wavered on jungkook who was still sending taemin death glares..
"Uhh yeah... Jungkook I ll be right back"
Taemin and jimin went to corner while the rest looked awkwardly at each other
"I hate this guys guts" Taehyung frowned
"Ignore him he is only bark, no bite..jungkook don't mind him, ..seriously jimin needs to have a better company thn tht" Said hobi, rubbing jungkooks back
Jimin was blushing as taemin whispered something into his ears. Jungkook saw red.
'Why does this guy have to come here all of a sudden. And wht is he whispering all the time'
"Jungkook it's time" Taehyungs soft whisper broke his thoughts. Without further wait he rushed towards the play area.

The usual quidditch field was now made into an arena. The middle portion made for the game , with audience on all sides.
Jungkook was in the waiting area with the other two champions. Taemin busy talking with his headmaster, while the drumstang guy, was doing some light exercises. Soon the three headmasters entered followed by one of the judges.
"Champions gather up.. U all have been informed tht this year we will be repeating the games of Mr potters year. So by now ig u all have realised ur frst task is..... Dragons.yes ..." It did not come as a shock as jungkook had actually figured tht out and looking by the expressions of the other champions ,they had too.
"But.... "
'Okay!!!now we have a but.. Good day to die jungkook good day!! '
".... As we had said there will be a twist. U all won't be allowed to use the spells which were used before to defeat the dragons plus they will be different dragons"
'Shit... I thought they were going to be same. Nam taught me those spells. But now!!! I can't use them?!! Why God whyyyyy!! '
"So now I'll extend this pouch to each one of u to select ur respective dragons..first drumstang"
Weilong stood up with no signs of nervousness or fear. He put his hand into the pouch and brought out a little dragon.
"Ah peruvian vipertooth best of luck on tht ......next beaubaxtons"
Taemin repeated the action and out came a green coloured dragon
"Romanian Longhorn ... Next hogwarts...the last dragon is urs"
Jungkook did not waste time in putting his hand inside
A black dragon came out spitting fire
"A Norwegian ridgeblack.... Take care kid u got a tough one"
Jungkook was really pitying himself . He was no good in academics bt staying with tarhyjng gave him enough knowledge , tht it was one of the most dangerous dragons one can encounter.
Soon the horn sounded marking the beginning of the match. As weilong made his way to arena he patted jungkooks back with a smile and went away.
----------
A peruvian vipertooth, a small dragon but with incredible speed and stelth ,venomous fangs and hunger fr human flesh.
As soon as he entered the arena, weilong was attacked by the dragon.
Its tail hitting right in the stomach and throwing him off on one of the rocks. Jungkook could feel the pain just by seeing as the crowd went "ouch! "
Weilong didnot waste a moment to get up on his feet .a second late and he would have been thrown off again. Spells, running, being hit, spells again. Too many arresto momentums two failed transfiguration to distract it and one mildly affecting sleeping spell later..he was finally able to get the golden egg. A howling drumstrang ,a brused weilong and a golden egg. The end of the frst match.
Now taemin was a different case. Even while battling a ferocious dragon he was able to remain graceful.
Romanian Longhorn known to impale their prey with their firey breath and poisonous horns. Taemins face was covered in ash and portions of his jacket was burnt but he still continue to hop from one boulder to another with ease, casting spells which were new to fifth year jungkook. After a few transfiguration spells, with the boulders turned into sheep and the dragon distracted he was able to retrieve the egg.
Last it was jungkooks turn. His name was going to be called out. But as he stood there waiting...he knew he was going to die.
-----------
Jungkook had never felt this much nervous before. Seeing the last two champions ,he had realised he lacked the skill, the spell knowledge and in his present panicked state even the ability to think properly.
He entered the arena slowly and saw the black dragon sitting on a high boulder protecting its eggs. The dragon had still not noticed his presence. He hadtime, he need to think.
'Cmon jungkook u got this !!! think!!!!. This dragon likes to eat mammals and spits fire.ah I can transfigure those boulders into mammals bt I m not good at it. It will probably waste time. Think jungkook. Wait I know. Water I need water. It's spits fire..i can create a water pool "
'But how I don't know how to produce water except .....shit I have no time I gotta do this"
He quickly pointed his wand towards the ground and yelled "bombards maxima"
The explosion created a deep hole or a pit into the ground but at the same time the sound was enough to attract the dragons attention.
"Aguamenti" He chanted and a string of drinking water shot out frm the tip of the wand and fell into the pit . But it quickly seeped through. And now jungkook knew he messed up. In the back of his mind he could see namjoon uttering. "Jungkook u r an idiot"
'Jungkook u dumb bitch....aguamenti is not enough to create a pool of water. But thts all i know. Now I have this blackies full attention. 'Jungkook was screaming internally.
By this time the dragon had appeared before him and had started spitting fire. Jungkook was quick on his feet.
"Petrificus totalus" A try of luck.Unfortunately it did not work and the dragon was able to throw him off with a swish of its tail. He tried again bt no avail,
'the distance is too much. I have to be close fr the spell to work.Otherwise I would soon be turned into the fried potato chip i eat on sunday evenings.....wait jungkook concentrate'
'His eyes went round the crowd and landed on jimin who was seated very close to the arena. He was clutching the bars and looked pale. So pale he could compete with the snow. Oh jimin lived snow. Gosh the hit ia messing with my brain.. '
.....Wait snow.... Snow!!!!! '
His eyes widened as he rushed towards the pit and hopped into it as the dragon threw out flames. He chanted "glacius" An icy cold wind blew frm the wand distinguishing the flames . Even the dragon seemed confused. And jungkook felt super proud of himself....like shit he was dueling with a literal dragon and not getting cooked . The pit wah helping him to keep the dragon at a certain distance.
Now jungkook is a sucker for stupid spells. Thanks to taehyung and his pranks and at tht moment he could only remember those. As the dragon approached again he yelled "tarantallegra"
And it worked the drangons feet spread wide and tangled and it seemed to ...dance?. The crowd was filled with laughter. The other battles were intense bt a dragon dancing was new and yeah funny.
Jungkook ,by now had made a plan and it was simply....confusion.....Make the creature so confused that he is unable to process. .
Once it's feet stopped it rushed towards jungkook
"Confundo" The dragon confused aimed fr a very wrong spot putting a tent on fire.
"Flippendo" The dragon now flipped and fell hard on a boulder.
And as it tried to get up ..."Locomotor mortis" Leg locking curse .....now the dragon was lying with its belly up like a dog wanting belly rubs. Finally jungkook came close to it and made the final charm to ensure full victory.
"Petrificus totalus"
And thts how jeon jungkook got the golden egg.
-------------
Students cheering all around the stadium, the three champions gatherd on a raised platform with their respective headmasters and judges.
"Attention everyone" A male judge with long black beard started speaking with his voice on wht jungkook calls as the somorous mode.
"The three champions were successful in capturing their golden eggs. A round of appluse fr them"
"Now we will announe today's results......We will beging with drumstrang, time taken to complete: 25 mins 16 secs!!!! "
"Song weilong song weilong!!!! " The drumstrang students roared.
"Silence.... Next Beaubaxtons 26 mins 3 secs!!!! " A round of claps and hooting, this time frm the students.
"Last hogwarts ......26 mins 2 secs!!!!! "
A roar of cheer. He could not belive himself .after all the trouble he was actually second. He had thought he definitely took a lot of time bt no he beat tht taemin by 1 second !!!!1 whole fucking second.!!! Take tht taemim.!!!
"However Mr jeon jungkokk.... A deadly silence fell all over
'Shit I knew it ....negative marks fr using stupid spells. I should have paid attention to class.fuck u taehyung...Now taemin is gonna take the second position even though i beat him by one whole second. '
The judge continued
" While the rest of the champions used transfiguration and sleeping charm and some different things. They were just..... Too main stream. But u turned the dangerous battle into a circus!! .....Never had any of us seen such technique,so unique ,so fun plus u did not even harm the dragon. So fr ur innovative ideas and the entertainment ,u provided us all today, we grant u 5 extra points which automatically takes u to the first position beating dumstrang by 2 points"
He could not belive his ears. The hogwarts students were all yelling, shouting ,cheering
"Jeon jungkokk ,jeon jungkook.... "
Puffing his chest his eyes met jimins. Looking at him with glassy eyes and two thumps up and throwing him flying kisses. His jin hyung yelling into namjoons ears and shaking him with excitement . Hobi and taehyung jumping and cheering and yoongi just sitting and smiling. Jungkook couldn't feel happier.
--------------
Slytherin common room
Jungkook is being raised on shoulders . Cheered and all. His golden egg proudly held in his hand
"Cmon jungkook open it "
"Yeah open it the suspense is killing me"
Jungkook felt awfully giddy . He smiled and tried to unlock the egg but stopped..
"Wait aren't u supposed to open it under water... I mean harry Potter did tht? " His doe eyes goes around the room as most of them agree with him.
"But it might not u know. They told in the beginning some games will be repeated bt there will be modifications. " Yoongi points out among all the murmuring.
Jungkook nods and proceeds to open it carefully
With a snap the egg opens and silver light surrounds them with a song being sung like a poem
"O! The child of victory,
The things u didnot forsee!
A siren's call, a spirit's lair.
Or the soft touch of your lovers hair.
Choose wisely before time ticks out
A muffled scream , a whisper shout.
Be a king and walk ahead.
Or a blind man with tears shed
U walk the shore or u drown
As the sirens scream and the spirits frown. "
Siencee......
"Well... Uhmm tht was poetic. "Jungkook chuckles breaking the tension.
"Well now I need to just figure out what it means. I guess tht will be easy"
