Two days ago
It was an ordinary weekend.
That day, I had plans with a friend, but I overslept.
"I'm heading towards the intersection now!!"
"Come quickly. I'm waiting!"
"Do you know how good I am at running? I can do it in 5 minutes... yaa!"
"Why? What's going on?"
I bumped into a man I was seeing for the first time.
"Ah... no. I'll be there soon!"
"What the... Come quickly!"
The man didn't even pass by or apologize.
"Hey...would you please go on your way or at least apologize?"
"Are you ○○○?"
"...Why are you speaking informally to me when we first meet?"
"You've worked hard to find this. Take this."
"...?"
The man gave me a letter.
"See you next time"
"..."
The man passed me like that.
"...What's next? I'm going to see all the weird guys."
That day, I had to hear a scolding from my friend for being late.
As usual, I apologized, ate, and watched a movie.
I went shopping, took the bus home, came into the dark house, turned on the light, and lay down on the bed.
"Ah ...
Ring ring ring
"hello"
"Daughter, why aren't you answering the phone?"
"I went out to play with my friends~"
"Really? Is it difficult?"
"No. Isn't Mom busy?"
"You're still busy. Is school starting tomorrow?"
"huh."
"Don't be late and have a safe trip. This research has been delayed, so I think I'll have to go to Korea next year..."
"Don't worry, do your best."
"I'm sorry I can't come often..."
"I told you it was okay, why are you saying that again!"
"Anyway, have a good day at school and don't get sick."
"Yes, yes. Don't get sick, Mom."
After hanging up the phone with my mom, I picked up my phone again and saw the letter I received that morning.
It looks a little different from the other letters...
I opened the letter and read it carefully.
Dear Wizard ○○○
hello
The Ministry of Magic found out that you had magical powers.
I found it and am writing to you like this.
You are going to HogwartsPlease be prepared, as by the time you read this letter, I will be sending two Hogwarts students to fetch you.
Please note that school supplies should be prepared by two students.
See you soon then.
The Minister of Magic and Hogwarts
"...I've heard all kinds of nonsense."
I thought I saw a crazy person, threw away the letter, went out to wash up, and was on my phone again when someone knocked on the door.
"...who is it at this hour?"
I had a strong feeling and walked towards the door with the frying pan.
"W-Who are you..."
...
Thump thump thump
"Ugh!!..."
I was so scared. I heard someone talking behind the door.
'Um, um... If you don't open this door, I'm sorry, but we'll open it and come in.'
'Oh, just open it quickly'
'You're scared!'
'...'
Suddenly, a flash of light came from outside the door, and the door opened. Two men entered the house.
One of them was the man I saw in the morning.
"Who, who are you!! Get out now! I'm going to report you!!"
"..."
"Please...calm down..."
"Are you serious?? D, get out now! Who are you to be in someone else's house..."
"A letter!..I heard it was sent.."
"...yes?"
No way... I saw it earlier...
"I told you I sent it. Hey. You saw me."
"It's scarier when you say it like that!!"
"Oh my, what do you want me to do about it!"
"...Are you talking about that letter?"
I said, pointing to the letter in the trash can.
"Huh? That's right! Haha"
"..."
"I know you think I'm crazy... but you have to go with me..."
"Where? Hogwarts, perhaps?"
"yes.."
"Can you just hurry up and go?"
"...no, I do not want"
"...?"
"Huh? No, you can't... You have to go..."
"Are you following me because I'm crazy? I already think it's a strange idea, but magic? That hasn't even been scientifically proven!..."
"...I don't know..Stupefy!"
.
.
.
.
"...where am I..."
"Oh, you're awake? This is my house..."
"..."
"I'm really, really sorry!!... We usually just bring them here..."
"...I want to go home"
"Yes...? That's..."
"I don't know much about magic and I lived without even knowing that magic existed until now... Magic? Wizards? Hogwarts?
I don't have any magical abilities like that."
"Hey. Let's just put it back."
"No! The principal asked me to do it!"
"I hate him. Even when I saw him, he had no magic."
"How did you know that, hyung!"
"But you... have been speaking informally to me since earlier?"
"You have to act like an older brother to get treated well..."
"The little one has grown a lot?"
"Anyway!...Sister...I'm sorry...but you can't go back..."
"Why? I just want to live..."
"The Ministry of Magic already knows about your magic. Even if you go back,
I will find it again"
"..I told you I can't use that magic.."
"Even if you can't use it now, you never know when it might appear..."
"What does that matter.."
"It's really frustrating."
"...?"
"I don't know when you'll be able to use magic, but you have magical powers. If you wander around the human world and show up with magic, our world will be exposed to Muggles (humans)."
"..."
"If we get screwed, do you think you Muggles will just stay put?
"They'll use us to satisfy their curiosity, whether it's cutting, tearing, imprisoning, or burning. Will we be the only ones there? No. You'll be there too."
"..."
"We'll take up an entire page of the newspaper."
"If you still want to go, then go. Go out on your own. I have no intention of helping you. And if you do go out and manage to survive without being caught..."
"..."
"Don't ever come here again. I don't want to smell a Muggle like you."
bang
He slammed the door and went out.
"I know you don't like it here, but... we have our own circumstances too..."
"..."
"I can't help you get out either..."
"..."
"I've prepared all your school supplies, so come out when you're ready. I'll be waiting."
"..."
I was left alone in the room.
"...Hah...what is this..."
I don't have a cell phone... I don't know where I am... I miss my mom...
But can I really leave? If I leave and magic comes out... No matter what, I've never used magic before, so how can I be a wizard?
Oh my...what is this!!
After thinking alone for about 20 minutes, I went outside.
"Why are you like that, hyung?"
"I hate you. I hate you too."
"Even so...huh?"
"..."
"...You can't go back, right?"
"Yes? Yes.. I can go during vacation!"
"Then, the school I went to in the human world..."
"The Ministry of Magic has already processed all of that."
"My friend will be worried..."
"I'm sure the Ministry of Magic said everything."
"..."
"Are you coming to your senses now?"
"...What should I do now?"
"I have to go to school"
"For now, sleep for today... Tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, so get some rest."
"..."

On the day of the entrance ceremony
"Sister! Are you ready?"
"Uh...yes..."
"Hey, come out quickly."
This was my first time wearing a uniform like this, so I felt very awkward.
As we arrived at school, many people looked our way.
"Wow..is that Jeon Jungkook?"
"I heard you got in early because you were so talented."
"That's Kim Taehyung, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
"You said you were a pureblood... Slytherin, right?"
"But they're both really handsome."
"But who is that woman?"
"Oh, aren't you the transfer student we were talking about in the teachers' office?"
"I think that's right."
"You said you've never used magic before..."
"Huh... So you're just a muggle?"
Yeah... I'm just a muggle. I'm a muggle... but why am I here?
"Ah, noona! I'm Jeon Jungkook!"
"I am...○○○.."
"Speak comfortably! I'm your younger brother."
"huh.."
"That guy is Kim Taehyung."
"Who are you to introduce me to?"
"Did your brother say hello?"
"this.."
"Let's get along"
"...no"
...? Am I being criticized now?
"I'm sorry, unnie!... That hyung is a bit of a brat..."
"Come quickly, you guys."
"...?"
"You came so fast"
"You're slow"
"It's because of the Muggle girl here."
"...Muggle?"
"Uh. The principal told me to bring him."
"..."
"Hyung, speak up! Noona, this is Lee Ji-hoon hyung."
"..."
"I'm not a fan of Muggles either."
"I'm not a fan of purebloods either."
"Huh? Hahaha you're kind of funny"
"I didn't say that to make you laugh."
"I don't really like Muggles, but you're different."
"Where in the world can you find someone like me?"
"Hey, let's just go quickly without mixing words."
"Oh, I have to go to the teacher's office, so you go first."
"...."
"Hey Lee Ji-hoon! Why aren't you coming?"
"let's go"
"Hey...who is that? She's so pretty."
"It's not your part-time job."
"Bye, see you later, friend!"
Ah, all students, please gather in the auditorium now, as dormitory assignments will be made.
As the group was walking around the school on their way to the auditorium, they lost sight of Taehyung and Jungkook due to the large crowd.
"Excuse me... together... ah... sorry"
"No. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"yes.."
"Are you going to the auditorium?"
"yes"
"Let's go together."
"thank you.."
After I finally arrived at the auditorium, Jeongguk came to me.
"Sister! Where have you been?"
"Sorry...I missed you guys..."
"Be careful, okay?"
"Yeah...ah...thank you for bringing me here."
"No, I'm glad I met you guys haha"
"...thank you"
"You seem like a freshman, so it would be nice if we could be in the same dorm. I'm sure they'll take good care of you."
"yes yes..."
"...Let's go, unnie!"
"Huh? Yeah.."
Jungkook took me to the seat where Kim Taehyung was and sat down.
"Don't bother me and follow me around."
"...You should take better care of it."
"I don't like it. Why would I care about someone like you?"
"...let's not talk"
From now on, students whose names are being called will come forward, put on their hats, and be assigned a number.
"jungkook jeon"
"I'll be back, sis!"
"huh"
"You're brave and kind-hearted, and you have a great capacity for empathy. Furthermore, your abilities are stronger than those of those who learned magic earlier than you. The place where you can truly flourish with these talents is... Gryffindor!"
Cheers were heard from Gryffindor.
"Sister! I'm a Gryffindor!!"
"Congratulations haha"
"..."
"Next is Kim Taehyung"
'You're a pureblood... You've been in a wizarding family for generations... But for a pureblood, you have a warm heart? Your abilities are so outstanding that you'll do well in Gryffindor... But this pureblood who will do well anywhere
It would be a shame not to send him to Slytherin. Hmm... Slytherin!'
Kim Taehyung stood up as if he was indifferent, and applause continued in Slytherin.
Lee Ji-hoon
"You're quite interesting. A pureblood, yet a Gryffindor. That doesn't happen often... You have a cool head and a warm heart, and you're very different on the outside and inside. Where do you want to go?"
"Send it anywhere. It doesn't matter."
'Oh...then...Slytherin!'
Kwon Soon-young
"What? Your house again? You're nothing to look at. Gryffindor!"
"..Aren't you deciding too easily?"
'It's funny how you drag it out with someone as simple as you.'
"okay..."
"○○○"
"..."
"○○○!"
"yes yes..."
'Muggle? No, no... there's a wizard in your family...'
"..but there isn't any.."
'No? Hahaha! Looks like you lied to even your daughter..'
"...?"
'Your father, I mean. He was a great wizard.'
I jumped up from my seat.
"○○○, what are you doing? Sit down right now!"
I sat back down under the gaze of people.
'Let's see, let's see... He's a difficult child... He's more timid than I thought... His magic hasn't even blossomed yet. He's full of flaws...'
...this hat kid is annoying
'Wow, don't insult me... I'm not finished talking yet.
It's still full of flaws, but if this magic blooms...it could be dangerous.
You're so strong... I wonder if there's anyone who can beat you?
Brave but cool-headed, rational but warm-hearted.
The place where your dormant talents will blossom is...Slytherin!'
People were very surprised. I was surprised too.
"Wasn't Slytherin only for purebloods?"
"What's that? I think his hat is broken."
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
"....Why did you put me in Slytherin..."
"Why? It's the place that can help you grow the most."
...I want to go home.
