hogwarts!au jungkook
he is a slytherin, but the sorting hat had an extremely hard time with his placement (it took like eight minutes)
he’s an 18-year-old first year (let’s assume this is set up more like a hogwarts university, with ages 18-24 for years 1-7)
pureblood but kinda hates his family; they are cold and extremely distant
he adores basically every class
all of his teachers love him bc he is so talented and very quiet !! at least in class lol
his wand is made of ash wood and has a dragon heartstring core, and is 11 and ¾ inches. it’s an extremely loyal wand and will backfire on anyone who isn’t jungkook
for a pet he has a black barn owl; they’re super rare and hard to find in the wild, and he loves his owl with his whole heart
he plays on the slytherin quidditch team as a seeker. outrageously talented, and is already getting job offers from teams all over the world
quidditch means a whole lot to him
his patronus is a rabbit. he was the first person in his year to produce a patronus, and everyone was a little surprised it was a rabbit bc they expected like a snake or wolf or something badass but alas it was a bunny
on a side note, he has an incredible voice and the frog choir has been trying to convince him to join for months now
he was so horrendously shy when he came to hogwarts. like, it was awful for him
bc people saw him and thought he was a snobby intimidating pureblood slytherin, and no one would really talk to him
and so he had so much trouble making friends
and one day it gets really bad. right after he tries out for the quidditch team and makes seeker, some asshole gryffindors walk up and one of them is like “hey kid, stop thinking you’re so much better than everyone else, you can’t just ignore everyone because you think they’ll all beneath you”
but jungkook has never thought that anyone was ‘beneath’ him he’s just so horribly shy and he can’t make friends and no one will talk to him
and so he goes into the empty bathroom by the potions classroom and starts sobbing his eyes out because it’s all way too much and he’s so lonely
but then he sees a little orange-haired gryffindor kid stumble into the bathroom and he’s like wtf
and this guy is like “omg /??? you’re crying?? what’s wrong omg”
and jungkook can’t help it, he just bursts into tears and starts ranting to this stranger about how he’s so alone because people constantly misjudge him, and how his family sucked and he was so excited to come to hogwarts and finally make friends, but no one will even speak to him
and finally the guy just holds Jungkook and he’s like “shh i’ll be your friend don’t cry my name’s jimin and hey it’s almost lunchtime, why don’t you come sit with us”
and that’s how jungkook met the other bts guys
because this lovely, muggle-born gryffindor ball of sunshine named jimin found jungkook crying in the bathroom and completely turned his life around
and jungkook sends up a mental ‘fuck you’ to his parents because they were so wrong about muggleborns and they were so wrong about gryffindors, because park jimin is an angel sent from heaven
he becomes instant friends with the other six boys, they all go to his quidditch games (unless they’re playing against him bc they literally all play quidditch)
gryffindor head boy seokjin always get him out of trouble when he sneaks out at night shhhhh
ravenclaw namjoon tutors jungkook in history of magic because it’s the one class he doesn’t really like
one horrible terrible night they find out that taehyung is a werewolf, and the group makes a collective decision to become animagi because they don’t want taehyung to feel so alone
it was a long and hard process but finally jungkook’s animagus presents first out of the group
he is a raven and he thinks it’s the most badass thing in the entire world
turns into a raven randomly to lowkey spy on people bc he is a little shit
once he becomes friends with the guys, jungkook begins to open up more and socialize with the people around him
people recognize that they were wrong about him, that he was just a shy quiet kid and he never meant any harm to anyone. soon he’s a super-popular quidditch player and he even has a little fanclub
yoongi and jungkook often sit in the slytherin commons and study together because they’re both very quiet and respect space
one time, during a quidditch game, hoseok accidentally hit his bludger way too hard in Jungkook’s direction and jungkook broke like four bones. and hoseok wouldn’t stop apologizing for weeks afterwards and insisted on staying by jungkook’s bedside int he hospital wing for the entire night
overall jungkook is young and brimming with so much potential and he’s a shining posterboy of how slytherins can be kind and gentle, how they aren’t all caustic and malicious
he becomes a professional quidditch player when he grows up, fyi
he is an extremely powerful wizard and is capable of performing many spells that took his classmates years to learn. his teachers haven’t seen anything like it in a really long time
jungkook ver. / taehyung ver. / jimin ver. / namjoon ver. / hoseok ver. / yoongi ver. / jin ver.
