hufflepuff!chan x gryffindor!reader
Pairing: Bang Chan x reader
Type: bulleted scenario, hogwarts au, fluff
A/N: chan, minho and woojin are in the same year, changbin, jisung, felix and hyunjin are a year below them and seungmin and jeongin are in the year below them
y’all were in 5th year before you properly knew he existed
rip chan coz he had the biggest crush on you
on your first day on platform 9 ¾ he helped you with your trunk
coz you kinda dropped it on your foot whoops lol
and he was thinking ‘oh man she’s pretty’
but you were a shy bean then and you didn’t wanna talk to him
so you were all like “thanks” and then
you yeeted yourself outta there
and he spent the whole ride trying to find you
but he met minho and woojin on the train and sat with them in the boats
chan was from a pure blood family (like the weasleys)
and they came from a whole R A N G E of houses
like his dad was a gryffindor, his mum was a hufflepuff (do I sense foreshadowing), his grandparents were ravenclaws, and he was c o n f u s e d
so when the sorting hat was placed on his head he was just super excited coz he didn’t know what house he was gonna be
and the sorting hat kinda paused there for a second
and then it yelled “HUFFLEPUFF!”
and the table was all like
then minho got put in gryffindor and woojin got put in ravenclaw
but chan was fine coz he knew they’d still be besties
(once you’ve traded chocolate frog cards with someone you’re friends for life)
then your name was called
and you were super nervous
coz you were a muggleborn
and you were lowkey scared the hat might eat you
the hat sat there for like 30 seconds
and you were like “u gonna sort me or…?”
and then it jUST SCREAMED “GRYFFINDOR!”
and you kinda fell off the stool a little bit
so you walked to the table
and you and minho became fast friends
he was a half blood so y’all bonded over your mutual love of muggle dance
and chan was disappointed that he didn’t get to talk to you
not like it mattered coz he wouldn’t have been able to do it either way coz he was a shy bean when it came to you you lucky duck
and stray kids had been formed
they were in different years and houses but they were still the closest
they decided to come up with a cool name
so people would know they were a group
minho came up with stray kids
he actually said stray cats but they heard kids so he just rolled with it
let’s just say the tables had turned since you and chan first met
you learned to come out of your shell more
you no longer ran away when people helped you
you tried to become friends with as many people as possible
which just so happened to include your fellow gryffindors minho, felix, jisung and jeongin and of course ravenclaw woojin
and slytherin!changbin, slytherin!hyunjin and hufflepuff!seungmin
on the other hand, chan had become so terrified of embarrassing himself in front of you that he refused to speak to you and instead decided to admire you from afar
which was ironic considering how confident he was in any other situation
by now all of stray kids knew about chan’s enormous crush on you thanks to his not to subtle staring
his intense blush whenever someone mentioned you
plus the fact that he was “conveniently” busy whenever they were hanging out with you
and the boys took every chance they could to tease him
talking to you in front of him
talking about you in front of him
“might as well call him cream because he’s WHIPPED”
they took advantage of the fact that he wasn’t there when you guys hung out and told embarrassing stories about him
like the time he broke his leg when he was 4 because he thought he could jump off the roof with a regular broom and fly
or the time he fell asleep with his face in his eggs
or the time minho accidentally burned his eyebrows off in charms
it was their favourite pastime
you still didn’t know who he was
until 5th year rolled around
cue the first class you had with him ever
astronomy had never been your favourite subject
you didn’t love having to wake up in the middle of the night
but the stars were pretty
chan normally sat at the front and engaged with the classes
but as soon as he walked into the room and saw you he freaked out and rushed to the back of the classroom
when the class was over he tried to run out as quickly as possible
you: “oh my gosh, are you okay??”
chan: “uh, yeah, I’m fine, thanks”
chan was so scared yet happy at the same time
here you were talking to him
even if he had just fallen flat on his face in front of you
so you helped him up like a nice person
“I’m y/n, what’s your name?”
chan’s mind went into a panic so he just blurted out “Chris”
chan: “yeah, um, I, uh, got to go. Bye!”
and you were a little shook
but you wanted to find him
so you told your friends about him
but none of them knew him
because they didn’t know his name was Chris lmao
one day you were trying to find minho because he had borrowed your quill and you still hadn’t gotten it back
you saw him along with the rest of stray kids sitting at the hufflepuff table so you made your way over
as soon as you got there all the boys were “subtly” nudging and kicking chan under the table
you: “hey minho I need my quill ba- oh hey chris!”
the rest of the boys were like “??? who’s chris??”
and then they finally put two and two together
so naturally they invited you to sit with them for every breakfast from then on
and you and chan became friends and he realised that he had been stupid for being too chicken to talk to you for 4 years
because you were super nice
which only made him like you more
meanwhile you were harbouring a crush on him yourself
(lets be real though even if he ain’t your bias you’re in love with him just serving facts my dude)
so one day you went up to the astronomy tower on a non class night to get some extra studying on saturn’s rings
and guess who else was there?
you already know I don’t know what I’m doing
of course it was our lovely christopher bang
so you walked up beside him
he turned around and his face turned such a bright red
chan couldn’t help but notice the way the stars were reflected in your eyes
you tilted your head to the side
“oh, uh…no. nothings wrong”
you smiled and nodded and turned back to the stars outside
chan gathered up all his courage to speak up again
“actually, there is something i wanted to tell you. I, kind of, um…sort of…might like, like you”
cue you blinking like an startled owl
your stomach jumped and started to feel warm
chan looked embarrassed but it didn’t matter to you
he liked you back so you did the only thing you could do
now I’m not going to describe it because I’m sure you’ve had enough experience reading books and fanfics to know what the kiss would be like
but to summarise it made your heart race and your brain just clouded up and you just felt warm all over
when you pulled apart a sigh escaped from your lips
the only word chan could form was “wow”
the other 8 members of stray kids came tumbling out of their hiding spots
“SHUT UP JISUNG IT WAS NOT”
and thus began a huge screaming match between all of them
but you and chan didn’t care
you were finally together
