Going to try and post the fics that have been collecting dust in my folders and figured tumblr might be interested in them too.

Summary: Every hero needs a horse, right? But did it have to be so... wild?
Characters: (Hyrule Warriors) Link, Epona
Warnings: None
Snippet:
He headed towards the stables, fifteen minutes earlier than planned, and grabbed a few apples along the way. He could already hear the whinnying of the horses and the chatter of stablehands. There were a few horses already in the paddock, bridled but without saddles.
Maybe he'd be choosing from those?
No one was out there to greet him, so Link climbed on top of the fence and sat on the top rail. He might as well get an idea of horses he’d be picking from. He bit into one of the apples as he looked around.
Most of the horses paid him no mind. They grazed idly in the center of the paddock, unbothered by the work going on in the camp around them.
Except for one.

"Does it snow there?" You ask Slytherin!Jaemin curiously, watching absentmindedly as he packed his bag for his trip home for the holiday break. He would be returning to the muggle world where he lived, and never having been there yourself, you made sure to ask a lot of questions about the place he grew up.
Jaemin purses his lips as he thinks of your question, "I mean sometimes, but not nearly as much as it does here. We do get a white Christmas once in awhile though". You nod, moving to fold the sweater he hands you before placing it in his pack.
If you think back even a month ago, you would never in a million years thought you would find yourself in Jaemin's room, let alone in this position. The last and only time you were here was when he had his way with you against the door after that party; you blush just thinking about it.
But now, merely lounging on his bed, helping him in a non sexual way feels domestic and it makes your heart flutter as this is what you've come to want with him somewhere along the past year.
"Do you usually do anything for the holidays?" The Slytherin boy asks you. Shrugging in response, you think before answering him, "We usually have dinner as a family. At least once during the break my dad takes us all to a quidditch game. But, my brothers wife is due with their baby soon so we'll see how things change". You smile at him and he smiles in return, loving having the chance to get a peek into your life. The one he wanted to be apart for so long yet did everything he could to push you away. Now he wanted to know everything about you and your life, and so badly wanted to become apart of it himself.
Taking a break from his clothes, he comes to sit next to you on the bed, "Maybe you could come visit me at some point, you know, if you wanted to. Or are able to," He drags on, becoming less and less confident the more he talks.
You laugh a little, "I would love that, I've never been to the muggle world before". Jaemin hums, "Well then I can show you everything you need to know".
He takes his nearly full bag that was placed in between you both and sets it on the floor, moving over to take its place. You smile warmly at him, eyes dancing across his face as you feel him place his hand gently on your thigh. His lips quirk into a small smile before he leans in a kisses you, lips softly pressing against yours.
It had been awhile since you and Jaemin had done anything sexual, let alone kiss. Upon rebuilding your relationship you both set the boundary of no touching, wanting to have a good basis of clear feelings and emotions without lust getting in the way.
But now as the boy kisses you more feverishly, hand running up your thigh to grip your waist, you are reminded it will be awhile before you see him again so crossing this boundary now seems like a better and better idea.
Without moving his mouth from yours, Jaemin guides you back on his bed, your head laying comfortably against his pillow. You start become slightly uncomfortable in the heat of the room, the sweatpants and heavy sweater causing you to sweat, even more so now that Jaemin is running his tongue along yours.
As if he was thinking the same this, the Slytherin boys separates himself from you, quickly removing the sweater that was covering his body. You gulp as you take in his bare torso, now that you think about it, you've probably only seen the boy fully naked a handful of times as you both snuck around and were reduced to quickies in weird places like bathrooms.
You were so distracted by the view that you almost forgot about your own heat, only remembering when he leans over you once again, "Wait," you call out which leaves him worriedly looking over you, "Me too," you state bashfully leaning up yourself to remove your own sweater.
He smirks a bit before leaning into your lips once more, moving you back to your lying position, one of his hands holding his weight over you while the other wanders of the expanse of your newly exposed skin. His tongue lazily plays with your own as his hand enjoys the warmth of your skin, moving up in down in a way that almost tickles you.
Finally, his hand comes up to your bra, fumbling firmly with your chest. Having enough of him touching you over the fabric, you quickly break away, removing the clothing without a word. At the sight of your bare chest, the Slytherin boy's eyes darken, a slight groan escaping his lips as he leans forward to capture yours again. Jaemin only kisses you once before he starts a trail of kisses down the rest of your body, leaving his wake down your jaw, neck, collarbone, until he finally reaches your chest.
He litters your chest in small pecks before finally giving in and letting his tongue run over one of your harden nipples. Your eyes roll up to look at the ceiling, mouth slightly part to let out the soft noises Jaemin prys from you as his tongue swirls around the bud before encasing it full in his mouth. He moves to do the same to the other before continuing his trail, kissing down your stomach to the hem of your pants. "I really want to taste you, baby," He speaks into your skin and you move your head in order to look down at him shimming himself further between your legs. "Will you let me eat you out?" he hums out, "I promise I'll make you feel so good," his fingers tugs at your waistband. You nod furiously at the offer, face flushed from the crude words leaving his mouth.
He hums in delight at your confirmation, sitting up only to remove your sweats and everything underneath it, then making himself comfortable once again between your legs, this time with you completely bare.
Jaemin grips your things, leaning closer to your core, "My pretty baby," he praises as he moves forward using long licks of his tongue to spread the wetness from both you and him.
The moans leaving your mouth sound almost desperate as he starts focusing his attacks on your clit, fingers carefully placed to spread you and expose it completely as the tip of his tongue flicks along it continuously.
Though your eyes have been shut for awhile now, Jaemin keeps his eyes locked on your face even as his mouth continues to work on you. "Taste so good," he hums leaning to kiss your clit before speaking again, "So good for me, want to eat you all day".
You let out a whimper, eyes fluttering open to look into his. He holds your gaze, mouth moving closer to your core as he spits directly on your clit, holding your gaze he leans forward taking the now swollen bud fully into his mouth, lips sucking you in. The feeling in enough for you to throw your head back once again, "Jaemin," you call out and you're aware how desperate it sounds but it's all overwhelming, the touch, his tongue, his words, Jaemin as always had a way to make your fall apart at an insane rate.
You move to grip his forearms that still hold your thighs, eager to have a grip on anything to help you feel grounded as he continues to suck and tongue at you. Jaemin pulls up for only a moment, "C'mon, pull my hair, baby," he dips his tongue to noisily slirp at the wetness collecting by your hole causing you to clench, "Wanna feel your hands in my hair while I eat your pussy," he murmurs against you. "Oh my gosh," groan, doing what he says and running your hand through his hair, giving it a pull when he finds your sensitive clit once more. Jaemin lets out a groan at the roughness of your pulls, the sound vibrating into your core.
As the Slytherin boy pulls his mouth away from you, you think you have time to catch your breath, but as you cast your eyes downwards, you know that's not the case.
Though Jaemin's mouth was taking a break from you, you found it was not occupied with a couple of his fingers. He takes a moment to wet them efficiently before moving them both to circle at your entrance that was left dripping from his previous endeavors.
He takes a moment to look up at you, smirking as his fingers work merely running in circles, "You're so wet I think I can slip two of them in right away," Your head falls back onto his pillow unable to meet his gaze, face flushing even more at his words. His starts pressing kisses to the inside of your thighs as two of his fingers slip smoothly into you. Mouth opening to let out a groan at the intrusion, you're pleasantly surprised by the feeling of the stretch. Jaemin had only prepped you with his tongue before hand but taking his fingers now seemed easy with the amount of wetness he drew out from you beforehand.
Jaemin groans into your thigh, watching as you take his fingers with ease. "Knew you could take it, baby" he gets out in a deep voice. "Your hole is taking me so well I bet I could slip a third one in now with no problem".
You know he's right, "Yes, yes, more," you chant out, head so clouded with lust you can't even form proper sentences anymore. "More?" Jaemin hums, continuing to leave kisses on your thigh, "Need to be full so bad, huh?" He complies to your request, slipping a third finger inside of you, causing your eyes to roll back from pleasure. "Fuck, that's my baby," he mumbles in your thigh, lost in the pleasure of the visuals of you.
He enjoys the slower pace for awhile, and he can tell you do as well from the sounds constantly leaving your mouth, but eventually he decides to fulfill his mission. He nibbles on your inner thigh before soothing it with his tongue, "Gunna make you cum, baby," and you know it won't be a problem when he starts moving his fingers faster inside of you, "Want that? Want to cum around my fingers?". Jaemin asks before moving his tongue to flick at your clit in a rhythm that matched his fingers.
"Jaemin," you moan out, "Please don't stop," you get out, more desperate than every to reach your high. Your hands tighten their grip, one in his hair and the other on his forearm which still held one of your thighs into place.
As Jaemin quickened his pace even more, the sounds of your wetness filled the room in a way that you would have considered embarrassing if you weren't so focused on the pleasure that came with it. And within a short time, a mixture of Jaemin's fingers and his tongue finally brought you over the edge.
You cum with a load desperate moan, pleasure clouding your brain and blurring your vision. Your whole body tingles at how intense it is and you can't hear anything but a loud ringing in your ears. As you regain an ounce of your feeling, you whimper at your sensitive state, using your grip on his hair to pull his mouth away from you.
"There you go," Jaemin talks into your thigh as he removes his fingers from you. "My pretty baby, you did so well".
You blush at the softness of Jaemin's words, it was something you were not used to, especially during sex.
He starts a trail of kisses your body, returning from the way he came from. Your stomach, your chest, your collarbone, your neck, your jaw, until he finally pauses in front your lips, a small smile lingering on his face. You return his smile, still trying to regain your breath, letting out a small giggle when you take note of the wetness surrounding his mouth. You blush as you reach up in an attempt to wipe it off.
Jaemin laughs at you, leaning forward to kiss your lips softly a couple of time, "How was it?".
"Amazing," you say bashfully and he laughs at your shy state. "Good," he starts, "I wanted to make sure you knew how beautiful and amazing you are".
You smile at him, it was no secret that past times with Jaemin, while out of this world, sometime his dirty mouth could be quite mean. But in the case of having sex, you can't say it was something that you minded. However, you understand that Jaemin wanted to start off this new sexual relationship with you was built of his true feelings.
"You were great," you start, but wanted to stay honest, "But, in the future, if you wanted to be a little mean, that's okay too" You say softly with a blush. Jaemin laughs loudly, leaning in to kiss your cheek, "Noted".
You reach around him to pull his bare chest into yours, "Only during sex though, just because I like to be pushed around during sex doesn't mean I'll take it outside of the bedroom".
Jaemin smiles, hand coming up to move some of your hair out of your face. "Of course," he gives your lips another peck, "I'll spend the rest of our time making everything up to you".
"Hey!", you look down the hallway as someone draws your attention and smile when you see Hufflepuff!Jeno walking up to you. You stood outside the Ravenclaw common room, having planned to meet Jeno here before lunch started. Today was your final day at Hogwarts as everyone would leave for the holidays tomorrow morning and you would return the muggle world for break.
The smiling boy walks closer to you and you notice he has he hands placed behind his back, "Hey," you reply back and give him a questioning look. He merely raises his eyebrows, "Want to head inside?" He refers to the common rooms, as the school was technically on break, rules involving the other houses weren't really enforced by anyone and the students enjoyed hanging out in the other common rooms with their friends without sneaking around.
You invite him into the mostly empty room with a smile, enjoying how he takes in the place with awe. You lead him over to another empty room, taking a seat on the couch in front of the fire, patting the spot beside you beckoning him to join. He sits beside you looking stiff despite the fact that he's smiling at you. "So," you begin, "Why do you look like you're hiding something". Jeno looks shocked for a moment before he lets out a chuckle, warmth coming up to turn his ears red.
"Well seeing as I won't see you again until after break, I brought you a present". He says a you can't help but look shocked for a moment, sure gift giving is common during this time but now you feel horrible for not getting him anything.
He finally removes his hands from behind his back, showing what he had been hiding the whole time. "Ta-da," he speaks softly, revealing a small bouquet of blue flowers and a small box that was messily wrapped with effort.
Your breath hitches at the sweetness of the thought and you smile up at him, moving to take the items into your own hands, "Forget me nots," You name the flower, bringing them up to your nose to smell before taking in the beauty of them once more.
Jeno blushes but nods, "I hope you like them, I didn't really know which flowers you actually like, but I thought these were pretty, plus they're blue..." he trails on and you let out a laugh.
"I love them, thank you so much. You didn't have to get anything for me at all". The Hufflepuff boy nods, shoulders finally relaxing, "I know, but you've done so much for me over the past semester I really wanted to thank you and show you how grateful I was. I probably wouldn't have been able to graduate if it weren't for you".
You tilt your head, taking Jeno in as he talks, in awe of his thoughtfulness. "Well it was my pleasure, I never tutored someone who put so much effort in so thank you, and you should be proud of yourself for how hard you worked".
Jeno returns your smile, eyes smiling along with him, but suddenly moves over to stop your hand that reached to unwrap your gift. He turns bashful yet again, "Sorry, actually I was wondering if you could wait till you got home to open that".
You look a little shocked but nodded understandingly, "Of course," you smile at him, moving to place the box carefully on the table across from the couch. "I wrote a letter to you that's in there, I was thinking maybe that could be the first one that you respond to". He refers to the fact that you both agreed to keep in touch via letters over the break.
"I'm looking forward to it," You smile at him, leaning further into the couch, bring your legs up in order to get more comfortable. "So do you have any plans over break?" You ask him as he follows in suit of your, getting more comfortable. "Not much, I usually just lounge around the house and enjoy sleeping in. I help my parents around the house when they don't work, I usually make time to practice quidditch with a couple of my teammates too."
"Oh!" he continues, "I also visit Jaemin at his house every year as well". You smile adoringly at him, "It sounds like a good way to spend break to me. And don't forget now you have to write to me too". You tease him and he chuckles, "I would never forget. Do you have any plans? Besides sending me letters everyday?" He jabs at you and you reach over to gently pinch his ear.
"My grandparents have a lot of holiday traditions they make sure they celebrate with my siblings and I every year so I do enjoy that, getting to see them after being here most of the year is great. I usually visit Hyunjin at some point too". You reach over and pinch his cheeks when he starts pouting.
"Hey don't be pouty," You laugh at him, hands staying placed on his cheeks. "I'm not," he tries to mumble out even though your hands squishing his cheeks makes it hard to speak.
You hum, eyes lingering over his face before Jeno notices they fall to his lips and and stay there. He can't help the pounding of his heart when you start to lean in.
Unable to help yourself, you lean in a place your lips against Jeno's, hands still holding his face in place as your eyes shut and let your lips linger for a moment against his.
Pulling away slowly, you smile at him, removing your hands from his face and reaching to hold his own instead. Jeno clears his throat, "Wow," his face is red as he speaks, "Not gunna lie, I really thought I would be the one initiating our first kiss". You laugh at him shaking your head, "Sorry, I couldn't resist". You smile. "Hey I'm not complaining". He chuckles and you can't help to lean in and place your lips against his once again, this time they stay pressed together longer and your begin to tilt your head in order to better accommodate the kiss.
Jeno hums as he deepens the kiss, becoming more comfortable with the feeling of his lips moving against yours. You let your hands move from his face, falling to rest gently on his chest. Jeno moves his own hands to rest on your waist, using them to guide you closer to him. Jeno takes the time to smoothly run his tongue over your lip, silently hoping you would reciprocate and he hadn't moved to fast. And much to his pleasure, you open your own lips slightly in order to allow his tongue in to meet your own.
The Hufflepuff feels like he's on cloud nine. Snuggled up next to a fire, about to go on vacation, making out with you. He doesn't think life could get much better than this.
"I'm going to throw up, I'm not even joking".
You and Jeno pull away from each other, in shock at the interruption. Upon looking over the couch you notice Hyunjin standing there with a disgusted look on his face. You let out a chuckle, trying to calm your pounding heart when you realize it's just your friend, "You scared me". you tell him.
Jeno is torn between feeling embarrassed and absolutely annoyed with Hyunjin for barging in and ruining his time with you. He lets out a huff, especially now as Hyunjin looks him over looking absolutely appalled. "You're both disgusting, and you're going to miss lunch so if you could stop sucking face and go to the dining hall that'd be great".
You shake your head, but stand up anyways, moving to collect your flowers and gift box, "Let me put these away and I'll meet you there". Hyunjin glances down at the gifts in your arms, "He got you presents too? You're really lucky I haven't eaten yet or else the food would have been all over the ground by now".
You roll your eyes at how dramatic he's being, "Shut up".
You turn to smile at Jeno, "Shall we?" He smiles back at you, moving to stand alongside you, "Let's go".
It was just after dinner time and darkness had completely fallen over the Hogwarts castle. Students roamed lazily around the halls and in common rooms, enjoying the peacefulness of the night before the chaos that would come in the morning trying to catch the Hogwarts Express.
As for you, you were glad you were able to convince your roommates to leave the room for a couple of hours so that you could invite Ravenclaw!Renjun over. It may have been selfish, but you would be damned if you couldn't have him once more before you both left for break tomorrow.
That's how you found yourself in this position now, completely naked on top of your boyfriend who was equally as bare, rutting yourself against his cock as you both lazily made out.
Finally having enough, you sat up, "Okay, hurry and get the rubber thing," you speak getting impatient. Renjun groans at you, moving to rummage through the box hidden under your bed, "How many times do I have to tell you, it's called a condom".
You roll your eyes at him, "Does it really matter," you mutter watching as he leans back up, opening the small package. "I mean practicing safe sex is important so it's also good to know the proper names of everything," he mumbles half paying attention as he tugs on his cock a few times before moving to place the condom.
Though he doesn't look at you, you send him a glare, "How about we don't talk about this right now," you state moving to straddle over him once he situates himself back on your bed. You lean down, capturing his mouth in a messy kiss that is more tongue than it is lips and reaching between you both to find his cock, grabbing it and running the tip of it between your folds.
Once you've had enough of your own teasing, you line him up perfectly before sinking down slowly on him. Your mouth opens at the feeling of having your boyfriend inside of you and he groans against your mouth.
"Fuck," Renjun groans, eyes closing with pleasure as you engulf him completely. You hum once you get used to the feeling of him, moving your hands to brace yourself against his chest so that you can start moving on top of him.
Renjun groans out your name as you start riding him faster, mouth falling open and eyes coming up to meet yours as you smirk down at him. "You look so pretty, Junnie," you let out, sounding only slightly breathless. Your boyfriend only moans in response, hands roaming slowly up your thighs and around your back to grab onto your ass, grip tightening in order to help move you along.
Your own hands begin to wander, taking in the smooth skin of his chest and up to his shoulders. Eventually, one of your hands comes up to grip gently around his neck, not applying pressure but just there for both of you to enjoy the placement.
"Shit," He lets out from beneath you, his brown eyes rolling back as he begins to thrust his hips upwards impatiently.
Leaning down, you capture Renjun's lips once more with your own, kissing him roughly, only pulling away slightly to moan against his lips when his thrust begin to angle perfectly.
As your grip falls from his neck, Renjun tightens his grip on you, sitting up and moving you both to place your on your back as he takes his place between your legs.
You smile at him as he takes a moment to run his hand through his hair. You open your arms dramatically to beckon him forward and he laughs at the action, finally leaning down, chest pressed against yours though leaning on his forearms to allow him to easily thrust into you.
You let out a whine as he starts moving again, regaining a rhythm that feels good for the both of you. Moving your arms to embrace him you let your hands wander to the ends of his hair, playing with it slightly as your eyes close of the pleasure. "Fuck, Renjun," you whine out desperately as his hips speed up knowing he finally found the right angle.
The sounds leaving your mouth become more needy as your stomach tightens more and more with the overwhelming pleasure. "I love you," You let out to your boyfriend causing him to groan, head falling into your neck as he concentrates on getting you both to your end. "I love you. So beautiful. I love you, I love you," he mumbles back to you as he reaches down between you both to rub your clit in rhythm to his hips.
You cum with a cry, hands scratching and gripping desperately against Renjun's back as he groans at the assault. Only moments later he finishes along with you, deeply thrusting to ride it out before carefully removing his weight from his forearms and completely on to you.
Some minutes later you find yourself blissfully wrapped in his sweater, under the covers, legs intertwined with his while you arms wrapped tightly around his neck.
You lay comfortably against his chest while he head lay atop yours, his hands smoothing down your hair.
The post-sex sleepiness was definitely running through your body, but you enjoy this pillowtalk with your boyfriend too much to let it completely consume you.
"You're still coming the week of Christmas, right?" he asks what seems like the hundredth time but you reassure him nonetheless. "Yes, my love," you mumble into his chest. "And don't forget the week before you're supposed to come to mine".
"How could I forget," he chuckles, "That reminds me, you have to help me pick out a birthday present to give your brother". You scoff at him, "Please you could literally give him anything from the muggle world and he would find you even more amazing than he already does".
"Hey don't be jealous," he states "He just looks up to me because I'm the cool older sibling he never got to have". You pull away from his chest slightly to glare up at him, "Ha ha, so funny". Renjun laughs at you, "I'm sorry. I love you," he says moving forward to leave a kiss on your hair.
You hum, "I love you too". He says nothing but continues to play with the softness of your hair so you look up at him once more. "I'm serious," you say again desperate to get your point across, "I love you. I really love you, Renjun".
He smiles fondly at you, leaning forward to peck your lips, "I know". He says simply and you know he does so you lean forward into his chest once more, finally letting sleep come over you.
The hustle and bustle of the train station never failed to make you anxious, gripping your suitcase tightly you tried to take deep breaths and find a place to stand that would get you out of the way of the rushing students around you.
"They're always so relentless," Slytherin!Haechan scoffs from where he walks beside you, a boy rushing beside him having just rammed into his shoulder. He glances at you and you give him a small smile. Seeing a small corner tucked away from the chaos but still close enough to the entrance of the train car, Haechan pulls you over gently by your arm, making sure to maneuver out of everyone's way.
"There," he says smiling down at you as you finally have your own space. You return the smile, placing your bag on the floor beside you. "Got everything?" He asks even though he helped you check off your packing list. You can't help but giggle as you nod at him, "And you don't usually take the train?" You ask him.
Haechan purses his lips and shakes his head, "Nope, I've only taken it maybe three times over the last seven years". You furrow your eyebrows, "How come?"
"My parents always take the chance to come and hang out at Hogsmeade and reminisce and tell us a bunch of stories before we go home. They're Hogwarts sweethearts". You look curiously at him upon hearing the term, "They met at school here?" He nods, "Yep. They met first year and started dating fifth year and they've been together with me and my siblings ever since". Smiling you can't help but be in awe at the cute story, "They must have some cool stories then".
He smiles back, "Oh yeah, and they're never ending too, I'll have to tell you some, sometime". You blush at the thought, moving your eyes to avoid his gaze but nod in agreement. Haechan only smirks before continuing, "What about your parents?"
"Actually they met in school too, like your parents. However, I don't think any of their stories are as cool as any your parents have". You laugh a little and Haechan joins along, "I don't know about that, you'll have to share some with me too". You nod bashfully in agreement.
"Are you excited to see them?" He asks, moving to lean comfortably against the wall. Your smile suddenly brightens as you think about it, "I really am. I always love to tell them everything, you know since all this is new to them, so I love sharing what I learn, it's a lot of fun". Haechan smiles at your excitement, especially since it's revolving around your magic and you being proud to share it openly around your family.
"I bet they are so impressed with everything you're doing," he says and you seem caught off guard, "I-", you stop, shrugging not sure how to continue. "They are". he finishes for you, smiling proudly at you.
Suddenly the loud whistle from the train sounds off around the station, acting as the first warning for its departure. "Well, I guess I should get going," you say moving to lift up your bag once more. Haechan nods at you, "Don't forget to write me," he points, making sure you remember your promise to keep in touch over break. You nod but look slightly confused, "Yeah, I just," you sigh, "The owl will know where to bring the letter?"
The Slytherin boy laughs at you, "Yes, my owl. She'll take our letters back and forth". Yet you still look confused, "But how will she know when I'm ready to send a letter? Or how does she know where to go? Will it work in the muggle world?"
Haechan's heart pinches at the thought that this is your first time sending or receiving letters over your six years at the school but he tries not to dwell on it, happy he can be the first. He leans over and pokes his finger into your forehead, "You can literally turn into a deer and you're worried about receiving a letter?"
You blush, laughing at the realization, "I guess you're right". The whistle blows once more and you smile at him with a sigh, "Okay, I'll leave now". He raises his eyebrows at you as you turn to leave. Only a second later you turn back around with a confused look on your face, "Actually, I don't even know your address, and how will I summon your owl when I'm ready?" You genuinely look stressed.
Haechan shakes his head as you continue to ramble, "Maybe you should send the first letter, that way I know what to do. But will I have to respond within a certain time if your owl is waiting for me?" You look up at him with your doe eyes and he lets out a sign.
Much to your surprise and shock, and honestly his as well, Haechan leans forward and places his lips gently on the corner of your mouth. Not quite touching your lips, but close enough to have your eyes widen and face burn.
He pulls away with a smile, moving his hand to run down your arm and give your hand a squeeze when he reaches it. "Don't worry, okay? I'll send the first letter and in it I'll explain everything you have to do to reply". He gives you a reassuring nod, and you nod back as you take in his words.
You gulp, taking in a breath and silently thanking yourself for containing any transformations despite the shock of his peck. You give him a smile, rushing forward to embrace him in a hug, surprising you both. "Thank you for everything Haechan," you say in his ear, "For everything you've done for me the past semester. I don't know where I would be without you. Thank you for being understanding and supportive. And thank you for being my first friend here in this new world".
Haechan gulps at your speech, reaching around you to pull you tighter into him. "You're amazing," he says your name softly, "I just want to help you realize that". Upon hearing the train once again, you squeeze him tighter before letting go, knowing you were running out of time. You send him another smile, "I look forward to you letter".
The Slytherin boy watches with a smile as you turn around, nearly jogging to make in onto the train. It's been a crazy semester for him at Hogwarts and despite how hard it was, he wouldn't trade it for the world.
It was a difficult couple of months, not realizing what the deep secret he revealed would spiral into, not realizing what it would gain him.

Pairing: Reader x fwb!Jaemin
Featuring: Gryffindor!Reader, Slytherin!Jaemin
Genre: Angst
Warnings: Maybe one curse word
"Sorry," Slytherin!Jaemin mumbles out to the unknown person he stumbled into after turning a corner in the castle too fast. Though when he shifts his eyes downwards, he quickly averts them with a huff as he realizes it was you he had run into.
Although he quickly tries to move around you and continue on his path, you are quick to grab his robe, "Can I talk to you please?" you call out quietly.
Jaemin had been successfully avoided you since the mess that was the Boggarts and he would be damned to have to finally talk to you now. There was only a couple weeks left before winter break and he was doing everything in his power to not have to talk to you till then; or ever in his life.
But atlast his bubble had burst as he felt your pull on his robe. "I have to get to class," he mumbles again, not even turning to face you. You roll your eyes at the boy, "It's lunch Jaemin".
With a sigh he finally turns to face you, so you drop your grip on his clothing, "I don't really have anything to say to you," he states blandly, eyes running over your red and gold tie rather than looking in your eyes. You quickly glare at him, "You can't just do what you did to me and expect me to not have questions, Jaemin. Stop avoiding me, I deserve to know what the hell happened back in that class". He once again rolls his, shaking his head slightly at your words.
But either way he now finds himself in an empty classroom with you as the rest of the school enjoys their lunch hour.
"What did you want to talk about," The Slytherin asks boredly, pretending to find the quills on the table more interesting than you. "You're joking right," you ask in disbelief, "Stop acting so oblivious! What happened was a big deal, stop making it seem like it was nothing!" You're becoming increasingly frustrated with the boy, you've finally got your chance to talk to him but he refuses to touch the subject.
In reality Jaemin knows it's a huge deal what happened, which is why he as avoiding you and the topic just like he has been since he started at his school. Not even Ravenclaw!Renjun could get it out of him when he followed him out of class that day.
"You can't blame me, can you?" you start again, "Those things show our worst fears and you see me saying those horrible things to you, what is this all about". You're genuinely confused and it only worsens when Jaemin begins to chuckle.
You send him a dirty look, "Is this amusing to you?"
His smile only stays on his face as he looks up to the ceiling with the shake of his head, "I just think it's funny you're acting so appalled as if you would actually never say those words."
The face you send him is nothing less than disgusted, "Because I wouldn't, I would never judge someone off their blood status".
Jaemin sends you a glare, "Really? Well that's a lie cause you did to me".
You only look at him, not sure what to reply, your confusion only growing by the second. Across from you, the Slytherin begins to look angry, "Don't act so surprised, I remember exactly what you said about me".
As a first year Hogwarts student, Jaemin was incredibly nervous. While his mom had told him many stories of her time at Hogwarts, being a Slytherin herself, there was still a major difference between the wizarding world he was thrown into compared to the muggle world where he grew up, where his dad was from.
Those who weren't full-blooded Slytherins weren't unheard of but they were rare, and as the great battle got further and further into history they became more common. As a first year Jaemin had yet to experience any discrimination because of his blood, he adapted rather quickly to his new world and he made tons of friends his his own house as well as others.
But it all started in his herbology class, that's when he first met you. You sat a couple rows in front of him surrounded by your Gryffindor friends, you never looked at Jaemin but he always looked at you. He was completely enamoured by you; you were beautiful, smart, and confident. So when you two got paired in the same group of four he couldn't be happier, though you two never actually spoke.
Though one day he showed up a little earlier in class, only a couple other student lingered in the classroom, including you and your friend. He couldn't help but listen in on your conversation, especially hearing you both talk about the cutest 1st years in the school. "What about Na Jaemin?" you friend asks and Jaemin perks up hearing his name, heart pounding in anticipation.
You make a face at your friend, "He's cute, but he's a half blood," you murmur leaning in closer to her, "Plus, he's a Slytherin. I would never be caught dead with someone like him".
Jaemin's heart breaks that day and a new hatred forms for you, but unfortunately for him, rather than replacing the adoration that was there, it instead lived alongside it.
That's why when last year at a party he found himself between your legs, which then turned into an ongoing secret friends with benefits situation.
Your eyes widen and your mouth slightly opens in shock at the story Jaemin tells, you don't recall exactly what he was talking about but you don't doubt his words for a second. "Jaemin," you whisper out, "I accept that what I said was horrible and wrong, my first year I was naive and was completely brainwashed by everything my family had told me growing up. I had horrible views and beliefs and trust me I learned the hard way soon enough the truth about them. I'm not that naive little girl with corrupted thoughts anymore".
"I'm sorry," you continue, "I'm truly sorry for those things I said back then I'm sorry for how much they hurt you. I just wish you would have confronted me about it sooner, especially when we started," you trail off, waving your hand, not sure how to word it correctly.
Jaemin merely stares at you with an unreadable expression, in fact he doesn't really know what to think himself. Did he really believe you still felt those things? Not really, he knew you changed in the past six years but what you said hurt younger Jaemin in a way he couldn't forget and he's held a grudge ever since.
"Is that why," your gaze lingers on him sadly, "Is that why you've treated me so badly this whole time?"
He nods, "Yeah, in my head you didn't want to be caught with a Slytherin, let alone me so I did what I had to do to make it secret and keep it purely sex". You frown at him, "You had to have known that wasn't true, Jaemin, I asked you so many times to hang out with me and you were the one to turn me down". You furrow your eyebrows further the more you think about it, "Even after all that, did you really think it was okay, the way you treated me?" Jaemin knows the way he treated you when you had sex was uncalled for, most of the time the two of you were together he didn't bother helping you, let alone talk to you afterwards, merely taking his stuff and leaving. "Of course not," he trails off. "Having sex with someone is really vulnerable," You point out and Jaemin interrupts, "I know, I'm sorry." he looks at you, "Then why did you stick around, after all this time?" he asks,
You look at him, lips twitching, "Because, I fell in love with you". Your confession made his ears ring and he swallows deeply as you speak again, "And you? Why did you agree to sleep with me knowing I said those horrible things about you?" He licks his lips.
"Because I'm in love with you, and if I could only have you while having sex and nothing more, then I would take it".
You frown, "You know that's not all I wanted".
He nods, "I know, but you don't understand how I felt about myself having what you said about me constantly in the back of my mind. I was new to this world and the first person I liked here was disgusted by me". You can't help the tears the start to sting your eyes, what a mess this whole situation is. "If can ever forgive me," you whisper, "If I can ever show you those words back then are not true, that it's not what I believe in the slightest, just know I would always want you. More than sex. As a friend, as a lover".
Jaemin takes in your face and his stomach fills with knots, "I know that, I truly do, it's just hard."
You give him a small smile, "Then I will show you, if you'll let me." You take a step closer to the boy, "I don't want to be something you fear Jaemin, I don't want my words back then to affect how you feel about me or about yourself. Okay? Please just know that you are not defined by the words I made when I was eleven, how I feel about you is not defined by them."
Jaemin nods because he knows it's true, he knows how different everything is now but the words left a mark on him even till this day, but after truly confronting you about everything, he feels his shoulders become lighter. It's not completely healed, but it's a start and he knows he has some work to do too because of how he has treated you in the past year.
With cautious steps, you walk to pull him into a hug, "I'll show you, okay?" you state before pulling away, turning to leave the room, sending him one more soft smile before taking your leave before he can see the tears that flow afterwards.

Warnings: Language, brief non-detailed descriptions of a physical fight.
"Okay, I've got a plan" Hufflepuff!Jeno exclaims as soon as he plops his lunch down, joining his friends in the dining room. His friends eye him curiously as they wait for him to continue, unsure what this plan could be, or even what he would need a plan for.
"As you guys know," Jeno starts his speech and the others could already tell he was proud of what was about to come out of his mouth. "My last quidditch game of the semester is coming up on Friday, and we happen to be playing Ravenclaw".
"And as you guys also know, the love of my life happens to belong to said house". Ravenclaw!Renjun rolls his eyes at his friend, picking up his drink to sip, already not impressed with the Hufflepuff's antics.
"Which means you'll be playing against her boyfriend!" Slytherin!Jaemin butts in, mouth full of his lunch. Jeno sends a glare to the boy, "That's besides the point, what really matters is that Hufflepuff with be hosting a party that night, no matter if we win or lose because it's the last game before break".
"Ah," Slytherin!Haechan draws out, nodding his head as though he finally caught onto what his friend was suggesting, "That means Hyunjin will show up to the party with his girlfriend and you get to spend all night pinning over her from afar!" He finishes with sarcasm dripping from his voice and his smile.
Jeno was not amused by his friends, "Yeah, you would know a lot about that wouldn't you".
Besides him Jaemin nearly spits out his drink as Haechan's smile drops immediately. At this Renjun's girlfriend speaks up from where she's sitting, the Slytherin girl wanting nothing more than to stop anymore drama after they had just started to patch things up, "Okay, stop it. Jeno ignore him, what does this have to do with whatever plan you were talking about".
The Hufflepuff's smile returns to his face as he is reminded of what he originally wanted to say, "Well take a look at what I have to help me with the night", he smirks before reaching in the pocket of his black robe. Upon returning his hand, the others look closely and notice a small glass bottle, a cork as a lid holding in the golden liquid inside.
"What is th-" Haechan starts to question but his answer is already found when their Ravenclaw friend speaks up. "What the hell, Jeno!" Renjun exclaims, "Isn't that the bottle of liquid luck Karina won in potions!" The others gasp around him as they recall their classmate winning the small bottle as reward for completing the best brew in the class.
The Hufflepuff smirks as he seemingly finally got the full attention of those around him, "Yep, that's exactly what it is".
Jaemin looks at the boy worriedly, "You stole it from her?"
The boy shakes his head, putting the small potion back in his robe for safe keeping, "Of course I didn't, we made a deal".
His friends around him stay silent, looking at him expectantly to continue his story as he seems crazier and crazier by the second.
"I happen to know Karina very well, and that includes knowing about her one-sided love for none-other than Ravenclaw's Hwang Hyunjin,"
"You've got to be kidding me," the Slytherin girl at the table speaks up.
"I know right, she's got awful taste," Jeno tsks taking a sip from the drink in front of him.
"No Jeno," Haechan speaks up, "She means to say you can't seriously be working with Karina to break up a happy couple because of your guys one-sided crush".
Jeno straightens in his seat, "Are you guys being serious? We're not doing anything weird, we're simply talking to them and if they decide we're the better choice for them that's on them".
"But you're under the influence of magic," Rejun furrows his eyebrows.
The Hufflepuff huffs out a sigh, rolling his eyes and loosening the tie on his neck making it obvious how annoyed he is with his friends and their lack of support. "It's not a fucking love potion, I'm just trying to have a conversation with her and I could use some more confidence".
This time Jaemin speaks up, "Dude, you're using magic- no matter what kind it is, to speak to a girl to try to get her to date you. One, she already has a boyfriend, and two, you're not even going to be yourself when you drink that thing"!
"You know what," Jeno stands abruptly in his seat, "Forget about it, forget everything I said." He gathers his stuff in a rush, "I would've at least expected some support from my friends". And with that he makes his way out of the dining hall, his friends watching his back unsure of what to do in this situation.
-----
Friday rolls along before Jeno knows it and as he finishes his final game of the semester his confidence is on another level. Not only did they beat Ravenclaw, their first time this year, but if was he who scored the winning point. He was all smiles as he cleaned up in the locker room, even his friends had come to support him, all congratulating happily and promising to see him later on at the party Hufflepuff was holding.
It was going to be the biggest party of the year, all houses coming together to celebrate the last quidditch game before break and to let loose before the examinations coming next month.
Jeno had just dressed in clean clothes and was running a towel through his hair, drying it as much as he could after his shower. "Hey man, you coming?" Jeno looks up to see his teammate Eric leaning down the row of lockers to check on him. He smiles and nods, "Yeah, just give me a sec to clean up my stuff here, I'll see you there". Eric gives him an over exaggerated thumbs up before his other teammate Chani leans over as well, "Don't take too long, you know the Slytherins will get all the good drinks as soon as possible and we don't want to miss out". Jeno smirks and waves them off, "Don't worry I won't be more than five minutes tops!" The other two boys leave their captain with a wave and Jeno listens carefully until the door shuts behind them leaving him alone.
He quickly leans over his bag, finding his robe and digging through the pocket to pull out the tiny potion he has obtained earlier in the week.
He smirks as he opens the top, quickly glancing around him before quickly chugging the contents. He grimaces and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, shaking his head and returning the bottle to where it was hidden before. Jeno quickly grabs his stuff and makes his way out of the locker room, eager to wash the magic down with a drink.
-----
Jeno feels amazing.
He wasn't quite sure if it was the potion or the constant stream of people coming up to him and complimenting him on the game, but at this point he didn't care.
His ego was at an all time high and he felt he could do anything- including talk to his crush in front of her boyfriend.
Catching a glance of the Ravenclaw couple across the room, Jeno stretches his neck to prepare himself before making his way over to the two. As he draws closer he notices the furrowed eyebrows of the girl as the boy seems to be whispering out words in a furious manner. He chuckles to himself, they must be having an argument, perhaps having seen Hyunjin and Karina talking earlier left the Ravenclaw girl is distress.
"Trouble in paradise?"
The two look over at the Hufflepuff boy who butted into their conversation, Hyunjin looking ready to end him while even the girl seems annoyed with her eyebrows drawn together and a frown etched on her face.
"Jeno?" She questions, surprised to find him the cause of her current annoyance of being interrupted. Jeno lets out a chuckle, mouth moving into a smirk as he drapes his arm over Hyunjin's shoulder, "Rough day for you bud, first you lose the game cause you failed to block my shot and now you're stuck in an argument instead of enjoying the party!". The Ravenclaw girl stomach turns as she takes in the way Jeno is acting, sure they've only met in tutoring but she always considered him to be a kind easy-going person; nothing at all like his behavior now.
With a lack of response Jeno laughs once more hand coming up to ruffle Hyunjin's long hair. Not having his antics, the Ravenclaw boy gives Jeno a rough shove, "Don't fucking touch me".
Jeno licks his lips, eyes moving to glare at his enemy, "Or what", he moves forward shoving the boys shoulders across from him.
"You guys, c'mon stop". The Ravenclaw girl attempts to deescalate the situation but it seems her words fall on deaf ears.
"You already lost the game and you'll sure as hell lose this fight too," the potion streaming through Jeno's blood seemingly rushing to his brain and cloudy his judgement and opening his mouth, "And that's not the only thing you'll lose, pretty boy"
Jeno only takes a second to glance at the girl before Hyunjin comes barreling forward tackling the Hufflepuff to the poor.
"Hyunjin!" the girl calls out, "Stop! You guys!" she tries to move forward but her screams are unheard by the guys wrestling each other on the floor.
Jeno can only hear ringing in his ears as he finally gets the advantage over the other boy, hand raising as he readies himself to throw a punch on the boy under him.
However the blow never comes as his arm is yanked back, Jeno loses his balance as he was pulled back and off of Hyunjin. Looking up in frustration he sees Jaemin glaring at him, another presence comes to his left as he turns to see Haechan helping Jaemin pull their friend up.
He feels slightly dizzy and confused as he stands up with the help of his friends as he watches Hyunjin attempt to sit up with the help of the Ravenclaw girl and another Ravenclaw he recognizes as Sanha. He watches as she grabs his arm to stable him walking and he stomach sinks as the realization of it all.
Jeno calls out her name, not knowing what he would actually say but anything for her to see his regret. Although it never comes because at the sound of it, she turns and sends the Hufflepuff a death glare dirty enough to make anyone tremble.
Jaemin gives the boy a rough pat on the shoulder clearly annoyed, "Looks like Hyunjin has the real luck here, huh?".

Hogwarts!AU
Pairing: Reader & Haechan
Featuring: Hufflepuff!Reader, Slytherin!Haechan
Genre: Angsty
Warnings: Some mentions of being nervous and anxious, talk of insecurities
Slytherin!Haechan found out during the past week that you must have changed your usual getaway spot.
Perhaps with the snow lingering on the ground and the near freezing wind, you'd rather not spend the night with dropping temperatures outside alone.
Though it makes sense for you to seek shelter in a warmer safer place, he couldn't for the life of him figure out where it was. And because of this, it made apologizing to you very impossible.
It got to the point where he finally figured he should ask around about you. Of course he started with his friend who you shared a house with.
"Do you happen to know any sixth year Hufflepuffs?" Haechan asks Hufflepuff!Jeno as they walk together between classes. He hums, eyebrows furrowing as he thinks. "No one that plays quidditch," he adds knowing it would help narrow down his search.
"Well there's Sungchan, or Chaeryeong," He purses his lips struggling to think of younger members of his house that aren't on his team. "Oh! There's Winter and Heeseung too!" Though only a small number of people, Jeno is proud of himself for know at least them.
Haechan only nods at his friend, he figured Jeno wouldn't know you but he thought asking him may be a good start.
"Why do you ask?" The Hufflepuff continues the conversation while the Slytherin moves to adjust his scarf as they walk along the courtyard. "I have this," he pauses, "Friend who is a sixth year Hufflepuff. She forgot one of her books last time we were studying and I'm trying to get it back to her but I haven't seen her".
Though it was a lie, Haechan felt it was a good enough excuse to tell him without raising too many questions. "What's her name?"
Haechan tells Jeno your name only to leave him still unsure, "Yeah, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with her. But I'll look out for her in the common room and let her know you have her book!"
---
True to his word, Jeno spends the next couple of days asking around the common room for you only to have no luck. Was Haechan pulling his leg? Was it really possible for one to be on their sixth year of Hogwarts and have this many house members not know who you were?
Until after dinner he returned to the Hufflepuff common room, Jeno took a few moments to ask those around about your presence. Finally there were a couple of girls sitting next to the fire who recognized your name, "Yeah! She's our roommate actually, though we don't know her that well either". Jeno felt relieved, so you did exist. Another speaks up to him, "She's usually out pretty late, but if you wake up early enough she sometimes sits by the fire here and reads before anyone else is up". Though you never really told them about your whereabouts, the girls you roomed with were able to take notes of your habits after all this time. Thankfully they never were aware of your sneaking out in the middle of the night.
The next morning Jeno awoke before the sun did, eager to finally tell Haechan's friend about her missing book. Trekking down the stairs into the main common room he sees a figure sitting alone on the couch in front of the fire, similar to where the other girls had been sitting last night.
Once he was close enough to you he clears his throat to announce his presence as you had not heard him beforehand. He watches as you nearly jump out of your seat, clasping the book in your hands to your chest as you look up to him with wide eyes.
Jeno tries to offer a friendly smile as much as he could as he felt he was still half asleep, "Sorry about that," he starts, taking a moment to clear his throat that was still hoarse from sleep, "My name is Jeno. I'm friends with Haechan. I just wanted to let you know he's been looking for you. He has one of your books".
The boy feels slightly awkward as he stands there in the silence that follows his announcement. He gently looks over you as he waits for a response. He can tell your chest is heaving slightly heavily, he guesses from his sneaking up on you. Your eyes, though wide and doe-like, have dark circles around them and seem heavy. As though whereas he had woken up, you had yet to sleep.
He watches as you finally take a deep breath before answering him, "Alright, thank you". Your voice is extremely soft spoken and Jeno is sure if you weren't the only two here he wouldn't be able to hear you. He scratches his neck awkwardly not expecting such a short answer. Deciding it's best to take his leave and try to catch another hour of sleep, he nods his head at you, a "Nice to meet you", ringing through the room as he turns to ascend the stairs once more.
---
"You talked to her?!"
Haechan exclaims as he sits at the table in charms next to Jeno. He's glad the Hufflepuff boy decided to bring up the topic before the rest of their group got to class.
Jeno sends him a confused glance, "Yeah? You told me you needed to get her book back so I've been looking for her". He moves to cover his mouth as he yawns, "Although I had to get up at crazy early time to do so. I'm not sure how she gets up so early everyday, unless she doesn't sleep". Haechan frowns knowing that must be the case but drops the subject as another classmate comes to join them at the table.
---
Haechan peaks around the corner and down the hallway for what felt like the millionth time that night. Just beyond the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room he was flush in a corner trying to hide from everyone while still keeping a look out for you.
He came straight after dinner, his plan was to catch you before you made your way back in the common room but it had already been an hour after the meal and there was no sign of you and the portrait behind his back was starting to get on his nerves with its threats to tell of the Slytherin boy lurking out here.
But atlast, he sees you walking down the hall.
You were alone and walking slowly, almost sluggishly with your bag slung over your shoulder.
This is it, you think to yourself, I've gone crazy.
You find the lack of sleep must have finally got to you as you hear someone whispering your name in the empty hallway. You shake your head and trudge closer to the door hoping tonight you were tired enough to fall straight to sleep without any worries.
However the voice calls you again.
It seemed louder this time so you stop for a second and look around. Your eyes widen after they adjust to the dark end of the hallway and you see a familiar Slytherin boy waving you down.
Your brows furrow but you begin taking small steps towards the boy who you haven't seen in a month. You figured he had completely cut you out of his life for the troubles you caused but you walked towards him anyways curious to see what he was doing here.
He lets out a sigh once your close enough, "I've been looking everywhere for you". You frown at his words, and remember what his friend said when he approached you this morning, giving you quite the fright, "If this is about a book I think you're mistaken," you speak quietly, afraid to be caught, "I don't think I've ever left a book with you so it must belong to someone else".
Haechan lets out a huff, "No, it's not about a book. I just," he pauses for a moment apology on the tip of his tongue, much harder to get out even after all this time he was preparing to see you. "I just wanted to see you. To see how you were doing" he states instead, and while though true, he curses himself for chickening out on apologizing for how awful he was to you.
He watches as your head tilts to the side, "Me?" you ask, obviously surprised he would come check on you. He nods and you shrug, "I'm fine. A little tired, but I'm okay". You tell time sparing him the details of your struggles you thought he gave up when he told you off that one day.
You can feel his eyes wandering over your face and it does nothing but make you feel self conscious so you turn your head away from him. "I want to show you something," he speaks drawing your attention once again. When you don't move to answer him he knows your hesistency comes from good reasoning.
"It's been really cold out right? I thought you might want a new place to," Haechan pauses wanting to make sure he chooses his next word carefully, "Relax".
You swallow hard and shift your gaze downwards.
It was true, with the snow that had been present since the colder months have come, you would no longer seek solstice outside and away from the castle. You've spent the past weeks wandering around the castle or staying up until you no longer could keep your eyes open instead. You felt trapped in the castle knowing you could transform at any second if your emotions and nerves got too much. It felt even worse now for you since you couldn't be outside; if a deer was caught outside no one would question it, however inside, they would surely know what was up.
Feeling like you completely relapsed since Haechan started helping you, you decided you would see what he had to show you. Perhaps it would offer you a peace of mind and a good nights sleep.
---
"Just in here," the Slytherin boy speaks, opening a door in an abandoned hallway after lots of wandering around the castle in places you've never even seen before. Honestly you don't even know if you could find your way back to the Hufflepuff common room if you tried.
You enter the dark room, eyes struggling to adjust as only the moonlight enters from a window on the opposite wall. Haechan closes the door softly behind you, using the help of his wand to light a couple of candles that hung from the walls.
All though it wasn't much, the lighting provided you a view of the whole room. It was completely empty save from a large mirror in the corner of the room.
"What is this place?" You ask, feet slowly moving as you take in your surroundings. "Have your ever heard of the Mirror of Erised?" He asks, walking slowly towards the mirror in the room. He glances at you and you shake your head.
He beckons you over with his head to join him where he stood in front of the mirror. You move closer to him and he gently places his hands on top of your shoulders to move you so that you're standing in front of him and directly in front the of the mirror.
"What do you see?"
Your eyes roam over the reflection of you both, slightly confused as you take in the image of you and the Slytherin boy watching over your shoulder. That is until your eyes meet your own in the glass and you take in a sharp inhale.
Haechan watches you, not in the mirror but from behind you, head leaning slightly to catch the surprise on your face and wideness of your eyes. "It's me," you explain quietly, "But I'm," you pause hand reaching up to move some of the hair from around your face, obviously caught up in your desired reflection, "But I'm a wizard".
The boy's eyebrows furrow as he moved to stand in front of you, blocking access to the mirror, "What do you mean?" he asks, "Do you know what this mirror does?"
You shake your head having heard of the mirror before. "It shows your deepest desires. How can you desire to be something you already are?"
Your mouth quirks a bit, almost a smile grazing your lips as you look at him questioningly, "But I'm not a real wizard, Haechan. You even said that yourself".
Haechan's stomach drops at the realization that you're recalling what he said the last time he spoke to you. It was low and it was wrong- the lies slipping through his lips confirming your worst fears. He should've known the words he said that day would not slip your mind so easily.
He frowns as you continue to look at him, you don't look hurt though, merely content because you already believed the lies he had priorly, and that made him feel even worse.
"No, that's not-" he pauses hand coming up to rub his eyes, head reeling as he's not sure to form the words scrambling in his head. He says your name softly, "Listen, that day I said horrible and awful things to you that are unforgivable. I was confused and lost as I thought I had just lost my friends and I took it out on you because you just happened to be there at the time.
"I was angry and scared, and though it's no excuse for how I treated you, it fueled the words the I called you that day. It was only lies that I said, you are one hundred percent a true wizard and you're one of the strongest ones that I know".
Your eyes fluttered as you felt the tears welling up as you made yourself turn to look at the night sky out the window. You had never been mad at Haechan for what he had said to you.
You had merely thought he had tired of your company and has finally come to conclusion that many others here at the school, including yourself, had already known.
"How can you say that?" you whisper to him, not understanding in the slightest. "What do you mean? You've been struggling alone trying to master one of the hardest known concepts of magic ever. It takes years to completely get ahold of and control but here you are nearly there as a student. You've come to a completely new world after finding out a secret about yourself and were thrown blindly into learning concepts you've never even knew existed!
"Though it's not as bad as the past, I know there are still evil people here who treat you different because of where you were born. Yet, despite that all, you're here and you're fighting through all your nerves and insecurities that we talked about all those nights, and you're so strong".
Haechan's words ring in your ears as they cause even more tears to stream down your face. Everything he just named has been what you blamed for making you such a weak wizard, but here he was claiming it was exactly those things that actually made you strong.
Though it wasn't easy for you to see right now, you figured there may be some truth to his words and you would try your best to believe them and work towards a mindset that recognized those as your strengths.
The Slytherin boy had never been touchy in all the times you had met with him before, but as he moved forward to embrace your crying figure, you let yourself hug him back, melting into his warm figure and enjoying, for once, the comfort and touch of another while at Hogwarts.
Haechan tightens his hold on you and moves to rub his hand soothingly over your back, "I'm here to help you".

Warnings: Some cursing, lots of mentions of eating and food
There was a special kind of joy that filled the air on this certain winter day at Hogwarts. The lunch hour had just begun and most people had already finished their exams. In the next two day the only worries they would have is packing their things and boarding the Hogwarts Express that would take them back home for the holidays.
The past week had been particularly sunny so if you sat outside, the cold was bearable despite the small amount of lingering snow on the ground. That's why Ravenclaw!Renjun and his Slytherin girlfriend chose a large table in the courtyard to enjoy their lunch. Slytherin!Jaemin sitting across from them as he starts picking at his own plate. "I think I got at least a B," The Slytherin girl states as she takes a bite, "I know it's not my best class but after you've been helping me study I feel pretty confident". Renjun smiles fondly at her, reaching over to move some hair from her face that fell too close to her mouth while she was eating, "We studied hard hard, I'm sure you did great on the test".
The couple turns to face Jaemin, ready to ask how his final test was, but before they could, their eyes follow a curious Gryffindor girl that made her way over to the table. The girl comes closer and takes a seat at the end of the table, across from them and right next to Jaemin. The couple across from her stare at her curiously, never having seen the girl besides some classes over the years, let alone on their freetime, yet now she seems to be joining them for lunch. Renjun lets his eyebrows furrow as he realizes it's the same girl from the Boggarts incident with Jaemin some weeks ago.
At the presence next to him, Jaemin looks to his left in confusion, it only growing deeper when he sees the Gryffindor girl next to him. They may have been rekindling their relationship, but so far they had been doing so in private. "Do you mind if I join you?" she asks him directly. He shakes his head, grabbing a napkin to wipe any food remnants off his face.
The couple now stares at Jaemin, so he clears his throat introducing the girl by her name and tells the girl the names of his friends, "She's a close friend of mine". He states and the girl looks at her food to try to hide her smile. The past week or so the two of them spent everyday together, trying to air their grievances and start a new relationship based around truth. Sure, Jaemin didn't mention they have been sleeping together for the past year, but he figures introducing their new relationship would be better than explaining the mess that came before it.
Although Renjun gives Jaemin a questioning look, Jaemin waves it off with a smile. The four of them continue to eat and the Slytherin girl drags the Gryffindor into the conversation, asking about her final classes as well.
Only minutes later, Jaemin feels someone sit to his right, looking up he sees Hufflepuff!Jeno, setting down his food he brought with a huff, "No one told me you guys were sitting outside, I was sitting at our usual dining table like an idiot", he huffs throwing his bag at the edge of the table. The table mumbles a brief apology as he looks over them and notices an unfamiliar figure on the other side of Jaemin, "Oh, who are you"?
The Gryffindor girl lets out a chuckle, leaning over to shake Jeno's hand and tell him her name, "I'm with Jaemin," she simply states. Jeno releases her grip and looks to his friend with an impressed look, "Interesting". Jaemin rolls his eyes and picks up his fork to continue eating again.
The give of them continue their light conversation when only moments later a, "Jeno!" is called from the courtyard. Everyone looks up to see a Ravenclaw girl making her way over to the table, she pauses once she's there, "Hi everyone, sorry" she huffs, "Hi, Renjun," she states again once she sees her housemate. He replies to her, saying her name softly in return. Jeno turns to the rest of the table and introduces her name, "She's my tutor", he states again and beckons her to sit next to him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," she starts as she settles herself, "I just really had to know how your final exam went". She looks at Jeno hopefully and he gives a small smile. "It actually went really well, I feel really good with my performance so I hope it shows in the end," he laughs and the Ravenclaw girl smiles at him, "Good, I knew you would do amazing, the last couple of days you hardly needed my help". He scoffs, "Please, I wouldn't have felt this confident without your help". She smiles and though it goes unnoticed by anyone else, she slightly squeezes his hand underneath the table. A small gesture but something that shows the slow progress of their relationship and how much it has grown since the incident.
Renjun calls the Ravenclaw girls name to draw her attention, "You grew up in the muggle world right? Where are you from?" He draws the girl into conversation about her hometown and her plans for the holidays as Jaemin takes the time to nudge Jeno beside him. "So my advice worked," Jeno rolls his eyes, of course it worked but he didn't want to give the satisfaction to his friend. Instead he points out how his friend is gripping the mysterious Gryffindor girl's thigh under the table. Now is Jaemins turn to roll his eyes, "I'll explain everything over break" he mumbles knowing he would see the boy over their vacation.
Before Jeno could pester his friend anymore, they draw their attention to their Slytherin friend across from them. Interrupting the table she lets out a gasp as she looks slightly in the distance. Confused about her reaction, the others sitting turn their heads to see their friend, Slytherin!Haechan walking towards them.
Though he is not alone, as he seems to be guiding a bashful Hufflepuff girl, his hand placed on her lower back as if to make sure she going to the right place.
As the two draw closer to the table, the Slytherin girl smiles brightly at them, abruptly standing tall to the confusion of the others. Seeing her movement, the Hufflepuff girl stops in her tracks, eyes widening, as Haechan nearly bumps into her. Haechan sends a glare to his best friend and she smiles apologetically, "Sorry," she states, "Here come sit next to me". She takes a seat once more and pats at the open bench next to her, enthusiasm overflowing at the chance to finally meeting the girl Haechan had told her about.
"Don't let her scare you," Haechan mumbles in the Hufflepuff girl's ear as he rubs her back soothingly, finally take a seat at the table with the rest of the group.
At the sight of the familiar Hufflepuff girl across from him, Jeno smiles brightly at her, "Hey! Nice to see you again!". The younger girl, gives a smile, nodding at him as her cheeks turn red. Haechan takes the chance to introduce her name to the whole group, "She's a sixth year and she's one of my good friends, I'm hoping you all would welcome her into our group".
The table erupts in agreement, clearly happy to accept whoever Haechan brought along. The Slytherin girl gently nudges the younger girl beside her, "I've known Donghyuck for a very long time," she drags on, "So if you want to know any of his secrets or embarrassing stories, you come to me. The stories are sure to cheer you up at any point. I've got enough blackmail potential to last a lifetime". The Hufflepuff girl giggles as Haechan sends a whiney "Shut up," to his friend.
Shaking his head he turns, facing the new faces across from him, "Hi, I'm Haechan," he greets the Ravenclaw girl in front of him. She smiles, saying her name in return. He stares for a moment before furrowing his brows, "So did you dump Hyunjin for him," he points to Jeno out of curiosity. At his bluntness, Jeno starts to choke on the sip of his drink he had just taken. The Ravenclaw girl laughs as he coughs, moving to pat his back as he draws the attention of the whole table. "Well, actually,"
She starts to explain, "Hyunjin is my best friend, no romantic feelings from either of us whatsoever". Haechan looks at her in shock at the news as Jaemin leans over to look at her as well, "Damn seriously?" She nods and he looks at Jeno, "That's so embarrassing for you then". Jeno rolls his eyes, a warmth coming to his cheeks as the group finds the truth out about the whole ordeal.
Haechan smiles before turning his attention to Jaemin and the new Gryffindor girl besides him, "And who is this Jaemin?"
The girl answers instead, telling Haechan her name, "I'm Jaemin's friend". Haechan hums continuing to take them in, "How long have you two been fucking?"
The whole table turns to him in shock, even the Hufflepuff girl beside him letting out a tiny sound of surprise. Haechan smirks at their reaction, especially because he can tell what he said was true. Finally catching up, Jaemin sends him a glare, "You know what, fuck off. Who even invited you to sit with us". Haechan lets out a loud laugh at his friends reaction, it only stopping when Renjun speaks up to the embarrassed Gryffindor girl, "Don't worry about him," he states, "Just wait till you hear about what he did in potions a couple of months ago". Haechan quickly goes quiet as Jeno and Jaemin laugh in revenge. Renjun's Slytherin girlfriend speaking up beside him, "Okay, okay. Let's just enjoy our lunch and our new friends". She smiles at all the girls as grabs her fork to continue eating.
The whole table seems to agree as they enjoy their lunch and their company, the group falling into comfortable chatter as they get used to their new bigger friend group.

Featuring: Ravenclaw!Reader, Hufflepuff!Jeno
Genre: Angsty, Fluffy
Warnings: Some minor language
Ashamed and embarrassed is the understatement of the year to describe how Hufflepuff!Jeno feels about the last encounter he had with you at the party. The aftermath of the fight he had was enough for the magic from the liquid luck to wear off and he knew immediately he ruined everything with you; both romantically, platonically, and hell even strictly as a tutor.
He hadn't dared to show up at another tutoring session, he wasn't sure you would either, but he would rather fail the class a hundred times over than to face you after what a complete fool he's been.
Either way, the guilt is something he continues to live with especially as the semester comes closer to ending and before anyone knows it, it will be time to graduate.
"What are you going to do?" Slytherin!Jaemin asks his friend as the two of them sit at a table in the library. Jeno had just gotten his grade on his last Muggle Studies assignment and it was another below passing grade, which wouldn't have come as a surprise if your tutoring hadn't helped him with the last couple assignments. But unfortunately for him, Jeno's professor informed him he would need at least a B on his final to get a passing grade in the course after his rocky grades all year.
The Hufflepuff is especially stressed knowing this single grade could cost him his graduation.
Jeno only shrugs at his friend, he is at a complete loss, "I guess I'll have to study harder, quidditch is done so I'll have more time". Jaemin frowns at him, "A tutor would help though, wouldn't it?" The other boy shakes his head knowing it's not an option to ask for another tutor when his professor already assigned him a great one that he happened to mess up.
Jaemin sighs, "Look, tutor or not, don't you want to apologize for what you did?" Before replying Jeno licks his lips, "Of course I do, but it's not that easy. I embarrassed myself and ruined everything I can't just talk to her again, she probably wouldn't allow it".
"It doesn't matter if she forgives you or not, you were not yourself that night and you made a huge mistake so you should apologize for it no matter how she reacts. Hell, you should apologize to Hyunjin too but I know that's pushing it". Jaemin raises his eyebrows as Jeno sends him a dirty look, but he continues his speech, "We're almost done here and going to be sent to the real word, don't you want to get everything off your shoulders? Start your life with no guilt or regrets?"
---
Jeno ponders over Jaemin's words for the next couple of days, especially has he spends most of his time in the library trying to cram a semester worth of learning into a couple of weeks.
Within his time reading and trying to focus, he still can't help but let his mind wander, especially to thoughts of you.
You were so kind and smart, patient with him and your witty sense of humor was intriguing. Not to mention Jeno was one hundred percent sure you were the most beautiful person he had ever laid eyes on. Yet despite all this he should've known he had no chance the moment he knew you had a boyfriend.
He knew from his friends this year that getting in the way of someone's relationship is messy but there was something inside of him that ticked knowing the person he hated the most was the one who had to when he couldn't.
Jeno sighs running his hands over his face, no matter what, he knew Jaemin was right and he had to apologize to you for horrible way he acted that night.
---
Just get through this chapter, Jeno repeats to himself over and over in his mind as he stares at his textbook in front of him with heavy eyes. The library was going to close soon, only a few students lingering around, so the silence was not helping him focus but instead slowly lulling him to sleep.
As he feels his eyes start to flutter he quickly shoots up and shakes his head, though he does need to study, falling asleep would do little to help him memorize the material.
With a huff he gathers his belongings and stands up walking towards the exit with the intention of heading back to his room and hoping a shower would wake him up.
However, as he turns the corner his notices your familiar figure at a lone table in the corner, your own materials spread around you. Jeno stops in his tracks as he takes in your concentrated state, suddenly Jaemin's words lingered in his mind.
This could be his chance to make his apologies.
He took a deep breath and loosened his tie a bit before walking over and taking a seat at your table across from you. He dreaded this conversation but he knew you deserved an apology for the way he acted.
Surprised by the sudden intrusion, you look up from your work, eyebrows knitting in confusion at the boy in front of you that you haven't seen in awhile.
Not quite sure what to you, you swallow and send him a tight smile before returning your gaze to your studies.
Jeno hate's the smile you give him. One that you would give strangers or people you secretly can't stand- though he supposes now he might be both of those things to you.
He clears his throat before talking, making sure his voice is still quiet enough for the library, "I owe you an apology".
At his words you place your quil down before meeting his gaze, head tilting as you meet his gaze with a sarcastic smile, "Me? Or the guy you tried to fight perhaps?" you raise his eyebrows at him.
The Hufflepuff lets out a sigh, "Well both of you, but you especially. I was an idiot that night. No, not even that night, but since I met you and even after for how long it's taken me to apologize to you".
You don't speak for a second, merely setting your gaze on his face and let it linger as you think. At your quietness and your roaming eyes Jeno begins to feel his face flush, from embarrassment or shame he wasn't really sure. "What do you mean since you met me? I always thought you were so sweet, I didn't know what an idiot you actually were until the party", you finally voice your thoughts.
His stomach drops as you agree with his words but pushes forwards to explain himself. He just wanted to get everything off of his chest. "It's really stupid, but I like you okay? I really like you a lot, like a lot a lot." he starts to ramble sneaking a glance at you looking at him intently. Jeno suddenly realizes he's confessing to you and averts his eyes once again. "Anyways, look, if I had known you had a boyfriend of course I would never had done something, I'm not that type of person," he shakes his head at himself ashamed.
"But knowing Hyunjin was your boyfriend just caused something to snap in me," he pauses to look at you again, watching as you quickly sit up straighter at the mention of the other boy.
"It's immature, I know, but Hyunjin has been my rival since we started at Hogwarts and just knowing that he out of all people is the one to have your heart just drove me crazy. I acted out of hand that night, I really wasn't myself and there was just this insane part of me that wanted to take my chance with you no matter what it would cost me. And unfortunately for me, it cost me you".
You sigh at his confession, turning to look at the bookshelves beside you as you shake your head, "You really are an idiot Jeno".
Jeno gulps at your words, moving his eyes to focus of the blue of your tie instead of the obvious disappointment in your features.
"First of all," you speak again, this time turn your attention fully on him, "I would like to point out that I do not have a boyfriend".
Jeno sucks in a breath so fast he nearly chokes at your confession. "So I'm pretty sure that makes you an even bigger idiot than if I was actually dating Hyunjin." You glare at him as his eyes start to flutter as he moves them around to avoid your gaze.
"Second of all," you start again, "I would like to acknowledge the fact that I too grew quite fond of you during our tutoring sessions. One could even say I had a crush on you". The Hufflepuff across from you squeezes his eyes shut, mind racing as he thinks of how much he really blew it with you. The more you talk the more you talk the worse he feels and at this point he wanted nothing more for the ground to open up and swallow him whole.
"And thirdly, even now this whole misunderstanding is out in the open, why exactly would I want to be with someone who fought my best friend?".
Jeno runs his sweaty hand through his hair before finally letting his eyes meet your own, "Look I swear I didn't come and talk to you because I wanted another chance. The way I acted at the party was horrible and I came him with the intention of apologizing for that but also knowing an apology wouldn't be able to fix anything. I knew before that the chances of you never wanting to talk to me again are high but I couldn't let us graduate and move on with our lives without me saying sorry for my actions, because I truly am".
You drum your fingers against the table at his words, honestly you were unsure of what to think. Jeno seemed liked the biggest sweetheart when you tutoried him, you enjoyed his company and his smile. But after how he acted at the party you figured maybe you didn't know him as well as you thought.
Hearing his apology know he seemed genuine enough, you know jealousy can cause people to make awful choices but you didn't know if that could excuse his actions.
You don't know if you were fully ready to forgive the boy yet, but you figured you could make a compromise.
"Muggle studies?", you ask him.
He looks at you confused, not the response he thought he was going to get. You speak again, "Is that what you're studying here so late?" Jeno mouth slightly opens at the realization, "Oh, yeah. Our final test is soon so I'm trying to cram".
From your time tutoring him, you knew Jeno didn't do well studying topics he didn't enjoy alone, that's why he need your help in the first place. "Let me guess, the last test will be a make it or break it for your grade". The Hufflepuff chuckles sheepishly, nodding to confirm your suspicions. You lick your lips before announcing your proposal, "I don't know if I can truly forgive you, at least at this point. But, I will help you study for your test".
Jeno lights up at your offer but you cut him off before he can reply, "But only if you apologize to Hyunjin first".
---
The next day at lunch Jeno sits besides his friends but he is too fidgety to properly eat. He can't stop his leg from shaking and he continuously gazes at the exit.
At some point he finally notices you and Hyunjin making your exit and he takes a deep breath before standing up drawing the attention of his friends. "Where are you going?" Ravenclaw!Renjun asks in confusion as he sees Jeno hadn't finished eating yet is rushing to leave. "I need to talk with Hwang Hyunjin". He replies before making his way out of the dining hall leaving his friends baffled. "Are we going to have to follow him to stop another fight?" Slytherin!Haechan asks, never in a million years thinking that Jeno and Hyunjin would ever be anything close to friendly. Jaemin merely shakes his head, "Nah, I don't think there will be any fighting today".
---
"Hey!" Jeno yells at you and Hyunjin down the hall, attempting to stop you both before you got to far. You both stop and look at the Hufflepuff boy jogging to catch up with you, your friend stiffening next to you when he sees who it is.
"Sorry, don't really fancy a fight today" Hyunjin mumbles, rolling his eyes before turning to leave. But before you he can make his exit you grab his arm, stopping him as he looks at you confused. You merely give him a pointed look, nodding your head to point to Jeno.
Once Hyunjin faces him again, Jeno takes a breath before speaking. "I wanted to apologize to you. For the party, for how I talked to you and the fight. I was under the influence even though that doesn't excuse my actions. I'm sorry for my jealousy and imaturness. I know we've never had the best relationship," Hyunjin scoffs at the understatement.
"But I should have never let our rivalry go far enough to get physical." Jeno breathes out a sigh as he finishes his speech, "Anyways, I just wanted to apologize for my behavior and for the fight". He nods at the boy before turning to take his leave before anyone else had a chance to speak
Hyunjin turns to you after watching Jeno's back as he leaves, "I must be going crazy right? No way in hell Lee Jeno just had a pleasant conversation with me, let alone offer an apology".
---
The library is more lively in the morning Jeno realizes, but he accepts the chatter around him as background noise to help him concentrate. Renjun promised to meet him here after his next class to attempt to help him study but lately Jeno has been spending all of his freetime running over material on his own.
"What chapter are you on?"
The Hufflepuff looks up in surprise as someone takes the empty seat next to him, eyes widening when he sees you. He stumbles over his shock for a second before he speaks his answer, "Chapter 10". You hum pursing your lips and moving your head slightly to look at his notes. Jeno moves his journal closer to you, speaking up once again, "I didn't think you would help me".
Tilting your head to look at him you reply truthfully, "Just to be clear, this doesn't necessarily mean that I fully forgive you. That night at the party was rough". You shrug, "On the other hand, you did what I asked and apologized to Hyunjin. I know it must have been really hard considering how long you guys have had this tough relationship, but you did it anyway".
"I hope you don't think I only did it to have you tutor me," Jeno says, "I should've done it anyways, as my friend pointed out, but we're all going to be leaving here soon and I don't want to carry immature grudges into the real world".
You give him a small smile, nodding your head, "I'm glad you feel that way". Jeno smiles back, happy to see one of your smiles, even a small one, directed at him once again. You sigh sitting up a little straighter, "Okay, let's get to work".
