“JL! You’re just the person I wanted to talk to!” Taehyung reached out to lightly placed his hands on JL’s shoulders, showing off his contagious boxed smile. “Did you know Picasso could draw before he could walk, and his first word was the Spanish word for pencil! I’m positive you didn’t know that!”

“Um, actually I did. Wait- Would it make you feel better if I said I didn’t because I’ll obliviate you if you want,” JL laughed softly, mentally beating herself up for not being able to keep a cool composure around the handsome boy.

“Perhaps I’ll take you up on that offer,” Taehyung looked up as if to seriously consider it but was soon interrupted by another thought. “Actually, I came to look for you because I wanted to ask if you were gonna go to my qudditch game! It’s gonna be Ravenclaw versus Slytherin, I know you’ll jump at any opportunity to diss the Slytherin house because of Andrea.”

“That sounds extremely tempting Taehyung,” JL started.

The circumstances of JL’s relationship with Taehyung were certainly odd. Sure, the two were Ravenclaws and that was a good reason for the two to talk but it wasn’t enough. Taehyung and JL were representatives of their groups, messengers if you will; so the only times they talked were when they had to deliver messages from their group members. For example, upon seeing JL two weeks ago, Taehyung had told her, “Jin says that he’s going to reschedule his study date with Emma. He says he’ll take her to Hogsmeade to make up for it.” Clearly the two had a bond that didn’t allow them to connect heart to heart. To JL’s surprise, however, she was taken aback now that Taehyung was asking her something that corresponded to him and not another member.

JL continued,“But-”

“But?! What could you possibly be doing on a Friday night?!” Taehyung’s face instantly fell in disappointment.

“I have to study,” JL quickly made an excuse and continued walking down the staircase. Of course she didn’t have to study, she was doing well in her classes. But, the thought of going to his game implied that he wanted a little more than to deliver messages to JL; and although she dreamed of this, she was not completely sure if she was ready.

“JL!” Taehyung followed after her, “You can bring your friends! And I’ll bring mine! I’m not an idiot, I know your group of friends are infatuated with my friends.”

“Oh please, it’s only because this school has a limited amount of cute boys.” JL scoffed playfully, causing Taehyung to make a “Aish!” sound. “If we go, will you please tell your friends to stop making you messenger. Get Jungkook to do it or something.”

“On Ravenclaw pride, I promise to pick another messenger.” Taehyung declared; he then abruptly grabbed JL’s wrist who turned around, a flustered look on her face, “And JL?”

“Yes?” She eyed him suspicously.

“Jimin wants Kasia to know that he expects her to be cheering for Slytherin,” He smirked, fully aware of the effect he had on JL.

“Oh, bug off!” JL snatched her hand back and hastily made her way to her next class.

“Taehyung didn’t even tell us where to meet them, what an idiot,” Hoseok shook his head as the boys lingered around the ground floor of one of the Ravenclaw stands that stood almost as tall as a skyscraper.

“I was under the impression we’d all be in the same stand?” Jungkook questioned, a hint of nervousness residing in his voice.

Namjoon let out a laugh, “Don’t tell me your scared! They’re literally girls!”

“Isn’t that them over there?” Yoongi pointed in the direction of the girls who made their way over.

Jin put an arm around Jungkook, “It is them, Yoongi. And leave him alone, Joon. He’s about to meet Jan for the first time. If I’m not mistaken he’s eyed her a couple of times at the great hall.”

“OH MY GOD CAN YOU SAY THAT ANY LOUDER?” Jungkook shoved Jin away, causing Jin to laugh his windshield wiper laugh.

“Greetings, JL. And company.” Namjoon greeted, politely smiling at the group of girls who simultaneously gulped.

“Tip of the penis to you too, boys. We meet for the first time,” Drea greeted, causing all of the girls to groan in embarrassment.

“Oh my god,” Jungkook muttered, a red color tinting his cheeks.

“Clearly this indicates that we should get to our seats,” Yoongi announced nonchalantly, making his way up the Ravenclaw stand.

“You don’t need to tell me twice,” Ash mumbled, following behind Yoongi.

The large group of wizards made their way up the stand, having reserved one stand for themselves. This was clearly code for: “This game was gonna end in a disaster”. The group conversed for about 10 minutes or so before the game started. After getting up in the air, Taehyung and Jimin flashed smirks to JL and Kasia to which everyone else teased them about.

The whole match just one agonizing game of cat and mouse that lasted over an hour. No one seemed to complain though. Andrea, Fern, Ash, Peach, Dani, Julie, Jan, Jungkook, and Hoseok were joking around. Rani, Kasia, Emma, Squid, Ren, and Jin were conversing normally. Namjoon, Yoongi, Chris, H, Tori, and Madu were watching the game but a little less intently than JL. Taehyung, as the Keeper truly mastered his position, remaining undefeated during the match. At one point though, Jimin managed to score 10 points for Slytherin and shouted, “That one was for Kasia!”

“Whomst is Kasia? Clearly he’s talking about me!” Julie teased, earning her a harmless punch on the arm from Kasia herself.

“Is nobody going to comment on JL? It’s like she’s not breathing” Jin asked, keeping a safe distance from her, who seemed to be under a trance. Everyone turned to look at JL who was intently watching the game, her eyes blinking every once in a while

“Either she’s into the game,” Peach started.

“Orrrr,” Rani continued.

“She’s into Taehyung,” Namjoon finished, the whole group laughed when JL didn’t even notice they were teasing her.

“The game is literally almost over, she’ll snap out of it,” Fern commented, going back to telling the story about her imposter at Hogwarts.

“10 points for Ravenclaw!” One of the speakers announced, “Ravenclaw is deemed the winner of this match, with 215 points!”

“YES!” JL jumped up from her seat, startling everyone in the stand. “SUCK IT SLYTHERIN! I’M LOOKING AT YOU JIMIN!”

“Oh my god, she’s finally lost her marbles,” Dani commented.

JL quickly made her way down the stands to meet Taehyung, the rest of the group trailing behind her. Describing it doesn’t do it justice but JL was making her way to meet Taehyung at light speed ditching the rest of the group, truly an unforgettable sight.

Eyes quickly scanned the area to look for Taehyung, and when she spotted the Ravenclaw boy walking next to his Slytherin opponent JL continued at godspeed. Getting to Taehyung so quickly she ended up almost knocking him over, “That was LITERALLY the best game I’ve ever been too, holy hell!”

“Jeez, JL you really must have something against Slytherin,” Jimin wiped away a fake tear.

“Nonsense!” She turned to Jimin, “I’m just saying that Ravenclaw is better than Slytherin. No printer, just fax.” Jimin and Taehyung both laughed at this.

“See you around, JL and Taehyung. I’m gonna go meet up with the group.” Jimin waved goodbye and disappeared into the lingering crowd.

“Well, I’m definitely glad you enjoyed it. You wouldn’t mind coming to my games and being my good luck charm, would you?” Taehyung rubbed the nape of his neck, a small smile stretched onto his lips.
