Crew Mission

[Miribyeol Kindergarten: Hogwarts] leō

For immersive background music, I recommend reading while listening to 🎵 Hedwig's Theme ✨️

In a world where magic exists and the resulting divisions between good and evil, lies Hogwarts, a school that trains young wizards between the ages of 11 and 18. Having just recently turned 12, I received an invitation to Hogwarts.

최여주 [12]

"uh..."

A massive castle perched on a hill, a Latin inscription beneath the school's emblem. I don't know what it means, but the atmosphere is so overwhelming that I can't move.

Just then, a man strode briskly past me. He looked clearly older than me, and I assumed he'd know the area well, so I struck up a conversation. I just wanted to ask for directions.

최여주 [12]

"excuse me...!"

박지민 [15]

"........."

최여주 [12]

"Uh... that..."

He looked sharper than I'd expected, and when I called out to him, he just turned his head and didn't respond, so I was afraid I couldn't bring myself to speak. His eyes were like snakes'.

박지민 [15]

".....what."

최여주 [12]

"Oh... no. I'm sorry..."

At that moment, the senior who was guiding the new students, who saw me talking to that person, jumped out of the Hogwarts Express in a hurry, grabbed my arm, and quickly left the place.

When I asked why, I was told that he came from a family of pure-blooded wizards, but that family had a warlock who was notorious for being evil, so it was better to stay away from him.

Originally, he should have been placed in Slytherin House, which valued ambition, but for some reason, the Sorting Hat sorted him into Gryffindor, shocking everyone. It's already been three years since then.

Although he lives quietly and quietly, he can never ignore the terrifying rumors surrounding him, and as if the rumors were true, he is a person avoided by all the students of Hogwarts due to his emotionless expression and stiff personality...

"You're only in your third year. That's too bad, isn't it?"

최여주 [12]

"...Yes, that's right."

How lonely that person must be.

"By the way, which dormitory would you like to be assigned to?"

최여주 [12]

"Um... I..."

"You seem like you'd be smart, what about Ravenclaw?"

최여주 [12]

"Anywhere is fine! I don't really know..."

"I guess so? I guess..."

"I'm going to be late. Hurry up and go! Fighting!"

최여주 [12]

"thank you!"

So I entered the banquet hall. Here, they assign dormitories with that famous hat... With a trembling heart, I quietly sat down in an empty seat, ate my food, and looked around the banquet hall. The candles, magically suspended in mid-air, caught my eye the most.

최여주 [12]

"...uh?"

The next thing that caught my eye was the senior I had met in front of the school gate, who was sitting quietly at the Gryffindor desk without saying a word or eating anything.

While the other seniors wore their dorm uniforms to welcome the new students, he was the only one wearing dark clothes, and none of his personal colors were visible, as every dormitory has. He seemed to exude a truly dark aura. It was understandable why he kept his distance.

미네르바 맥고나걸

"We will now begin assigning dormitories."

미네르바 맥고나걸

"The person whose name is called, please come forward."

미네르바 맥고나걸

"If you wear the sorting hat, you will be assigned to a dormitory."

미네르바 맥고나걸

"Choi Yeo-ju!"

My name was called first, and I was taken up to the podium, sat down, and the sorting hat was placed on my head. Then the sorting hat opened its mouth and began to speak.

마법의 분류모자

"Hmm... well..."

마법의 분류모자

"A kid who gets along well with everyone except Slytherin has arrived..."

마법의 분류모자

"then..."

마법의 분류모자

"Gryffindor!"

As soon as the hat finished speaking, the Gryffindor seniors erupted in applause and cheers. Amidst the din, a distinctly black aura stood out: a senior, seemingly sitting in the wrong seat.

박지민 [15]

"....."

Honestly, I didn't want to go to Gryffindor, but how did it turn out like this... I guess the hat isn't very good.

Time passed, and three months had already passed since I began at Hogwarts. During that time, I'd made friends in my house, represented the school in Quidditch matches, and fulfilled my role as a Seeker.

전정국 [12]

"Congratulations on winning, Choi Yeo-ju!"

This is Jeon Jungkook, my new friend and fellow Gryffindor. Despite his innocent personality, he's a multi-talented student, a top student in many subjects. He was also a former Quidditch player, but was unable to participate in this match due to an injury.

Of course, I was curious. He was already skilled in everything from general magic to potion making, and excelled in everything from arithmetic to flight, making him a sought-after talent by all the professors.

최여주 [12]

"Is this the third time you've said that?"

전정국 [12]

"Hahaha I know too~"

최여주 [12]

"You like it that much?"

전정국 [12]

"Of course! Is it that easy to win a Quidditch match?"

최여주 [12]

"It might have been easier if you had come out?"

전정국 [12]

"Huh? What does that mean..."

최여주 [12]

"You're too humble, that's the problem."

전정국 [12]

"Hey... It looks like you got first place in this arithmetic assignment too."

최여주 [12]

"You were first in the last assignment!"

전정국 [12]

"Okay~ We're both the best! The end!"

최여주 [12]

"Haha okay~"

전정국 [12]

"Oh, right. Did you hear that?"

최여주 [12]

"What?"

전정국 [12]

"As a representative for the next Quidditch match..."

전정국 [12]

"Senior Park Jimin is coming out."

최여주 [12]

"........Huh huh?!?!?!?!?!"

전정국 [12]

"Hey, hey, shh..."

최여주 [12]

"No... suddenly? Why?"

전정국 [12]

"I don't know, maybe you want to come out..."

전정국 [12]

"That senior must be so bored. He has no friends because of the idiots."

최여주 [12]

"...Well, yeah, but still... how are your skills?"

전정국 [12]

"Are you crazy? You're really good at it. I heard from George that you were first in your third-year flight class."

최여주 [12]

"Really?! Why did you keep that a secret..."

전정국 [12]

"Are the rumors a bit scary... like that he killed people, or that he practices black magic every morning?"

전정국 [12]

"Even I couldn't go to school in my right mind."

최여주 [12]

"...You must be very lonely. I've been thinking about this since I entered school."

전정국 [12]

"Yeah... Hey, hey! I'm going to be late for class!"

최여주 [12]

"What's next?!"

전정국 [12]

"Defense Against the Dark Arts! Professor Snape!"

최여주 [12]

"Hey, run!"

The conversation about that senior, whom I hadn't spoken to in a long time, ended there, almost being late for the scary professor's class. Thinking about it again, I realized there must be a story behind it. The Sorting Hat hadn't sorted him into Gryffindor for nothing, I thought.

Then, quite by chance, I had the opportunity to speak with that senior. It was lunchtime in the Great Hall. The Quidditch players were given time to practice for their match after lunch, so I was also eating my meal in a hurry.

And in front of me... Park Jimin was eating his food while picking at it.

전정국 [12]

"Choi Yeo-ju, fighting?"

최여주 [12]

"Huh? Oh, thank you! You go up first."

전정국 [12]

"Yeah. See you later-"

After saying hello to Jeongguk and continuing to eat, the senior stopped eating and stared at me. He spoke to me for the second time. The first time was three months ago, at the school gate on my entrance ceremony day, and the second time was now.

박지민 [15]

".....hey."

최여주 [12]

"Uh, uh, yes? I...yes?"

박지민 [15]

"Yeah. You're going to Quidditch."

최여주 [12]

"Ugh... why?"

박지민 [15]

"I have practice, so if you eat like that, you'll throw up."

박지민 [15]

"Eat slowly."

박지민 [15]

"...I'll wait for you."

최여주 [12]

"...yes?!"

박지민 [15]

"...Why. You don't like it?"

최여주 [12]

"Oh, no... yes... I'll eat quickly...!"

박지민 [15]

"Eat slowly, eat slowly."

Seeing my senior's affectionate side for the first time made me see him as a human being for the first time. Perhaps because of this, I began to develop a little bit of a bond I hadn't felt before, and I found the courage to ask him another question.

최여주 [12]

"Excuse me... Can I ask you something?"

박지민 [15]

"...What is it?"

최여주 [12]

"Well... maybe, it might be a little uncomfortable..."

박지민 [15]

"It's okay. There are a lot of people who are ruder than you."

최여주 [12]

"Oh, that... Senior... Do you think Gryffindor suits you well?"

박지민 [15]

"...Are you trying to get me to notice? That it doesn't suit me."

최여주 [12]

"Oh, no! That's not it..."

최여주 [12]

"I was just... curious. I think you'd adapt better if you went to a place like Slytherin, given your personality."

박지민 [15]

"...Do you know what criteria the Sorting Hat uses to select dormitories?"

최여주 [12]

"No... what is it?"

박지민 [15]

"The trait students consider most important."

박지민 [15]

"That trait determines where to place students."

박지민 [15]

"I guess the hat thought I was what Gryffindor was all about."

박지민 [15]

"And... it's not just the dorms that are having trouble adjusting."

박지민 [15]

"I think it's for the best. I can't even imagine what would have happened to me if I had gone to Slytherin."

최여주 [12]

"...ah."

박지민 [15]

"Do you have an answer?"

최여주 [12]

"Yes... I'm sorry, but one more thing..."

박지민 [15]

"Ask."

Seeing my senior's smile suddenly spread across his face, I felt a sense of relief, and found the courage to ask another question. For the first time, he smiled and agreed. He must have been excited to have someone to talk to after a long time...

최여주 [12]

"I read a book about dormitories a while back, and it said that only the brave could enter Gryffindor."

최여주 [12]

"Senior, do you think you yourself are courageous?"

박지민 [15]

"...Do I look brave to you?"

최여주 [12]

"Um... yes!"

박지민 [15]

"Why do you think so?"

최여주 [12]

"Senior... despite all that loneliness, you consistently attended school, and even participated in a Quidditch match..."

최여주 [12]

"I think I'm brave enough."

박지민 [15]

"Yeah... that's good then."

최여주 [12]

"yes?"

박지민 [15]

"I... I'm not sure if I have the courage."

박지민 [15]

"Rumors are not true. I could have just denied it, but I can't even say that..."

최여주 [12]

"It's not true?!"

박지민 [15]

"...our family, except for that warlock, were all Muggles."

박지민 [15]

"A vicious warlock... He was truly vicious. That's why the rumors are a bit distorted."

박지민 [15]

"I don't think anything will change even if I talk about it."

박지민 [15]

"Everyone just believes what they want to believe..."

최여주 [12]

"...Senior, then make a promise with me!"

박지민 [15]

"What promise?"

최여주 [12]

"If Gryffindor wins this season's Quidditch match, Senior Somun will personally explain."

박지민 [15]

"...what?"

최여주 [12]

"I should at least express that I came to Gryffindor because of my senior's courage and boldness!"

최여주 [12]

"That would be less frustrating, Senior. This isn't why I came to Hogwarts."

박지민 [15]

"...Yes, that's right. I came in with the same hopeful heart as you."

박지민 [15]

"Okay. I'll promise you that. In return, make a promise to me."

최여주 [12]

"What is it?"

박지민 [15]

"Sometimes, you talk to me like this."

최여주 [12]

"Huh? Of course, senior! Weren't you planning on not seeing me?"

박지민 [15]

"Hahaha, thank you. For saying that."

최여주 [12]

"Of course, senior..."

That day, I spoke with my senior and realized that the rumors were partially false. They were becoming more and more exaggerated as time passed. Even a brief conversation was enough to tell me that my senior wasn't the type to kill, nor was he a Slytherin-worthy person.

That's why I wanted to let everyone know that my senior is a courageous person.

And so, the long-awaited day of the Quidditch match dawned. Our opponent was the Slytherin team we'd been wary of. Many of the seniors, especially Park Jimin, weren't on good terms with us. Even though we didn't win, my senior reassured me, telling me not to get hurt, and I gradually began to shake off my fears.

박지민 [15]

"If it's dangerous, avoid it. Don't confront it. Understood?"

최여주 [12]

"yes...!"

전정국 [12]

"Go Gryffindor! Choi Yeo-ju!!"

Before I knew it, the stadium was filled with the cheers of all the students and professors. It was a warm atmosphere, enough to overcome the winter chill. Embracing everyone's support, I vowed to keep my promise to my senior.

As the game began, I, playing the role of a seeker, began flying to catch the Snitch. I was even more nervous than usual, gripping my broom so tightly that I was sweating, but I tried not to show it.

My senior was a sniper. While he defended our team by swatting away Bludgers with a wooden bat, I was engaged in a fierce chase with the Slytherin Seeker, trying to catch the Snitch.

The Slytherin Seekers had a truly vicious style of play. They would frequently shove me with their hands instead of their brooms to prevent me from catching the Snitch. I sent several signals to the referee, but he never saw them.

As the Quidditch match continued in such a precarious situation, the opposing Seeker, determined to knock me back, began to chase me at an abnormal speed as I chased the Snitch. If things continued this way, both I and the player could have fallen to the ground, their lives in jeopardy.

When the opposing team's searcher, who had been chasing me without slowing down until the very end, finally grabbed my broom with his hand and tried to push it to the side, I closed my eyes tightly in fear.

All I could hear was screams and dull thuds, but I was flying through the sky just fine.

I looked down in panic to see what was happening. It seemed my senior, who was acting as a sweeper, had seen me in danger and, when the opposing team's searcher grabbed my broom, had pushed him away. As a result, my senior fell to the ground as well.

The game was immediately halted, and I hastily dismounted from my broom to check on my senior. His condition was... indescribably critical.

최여주 [12]

"Senior... Senior!"

박지민 [15]

".....Lady..."

최여주 [12]

"Senior, please bear with me for a moment. The medical staff will be here soon..."

박지민 [15]

"Thanks to you..."

박지민 [15]

"I'll show you what courage is..."

최여주 [12]

"Senior, no. Senior! Come to your senses..."

박지민 [15]

"I... I guess I was really brave and bold, like a Gryffindor..."

박지민 [15]

"Thank you for letting me know..."

최여주 [12]

"No... no..."

박지민 [15]

"I couldn't keep my promise..."

박지민 [15]

"Please keep this...

As he spoke, the senior took a pendant from his pocket and placed it in my hand. He was so close to dying that I just shook my head and cried.

박지민 [15]

"Thank you for keeping my promise..."

박지민 [15]

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely keep my promise..."

박지민 [15]

"Let's just say we've kept half of it for now..."

최여주 [12]

"No... Just keep everything for now..."

박지민 [15]

"...I'm glad you weren't hurt."

최여주 [12]

"That's what I'm saying now...!"

박지민 [15]

"Thank you..."

박지민 [15]

"Goodbye, lady."

With that said, my senior slowly released the hand he had been holding tightly. Only then did I, too, wipe away my tears and examine the pendant he had given me.

Doceamus omnes pueros qui hoc nomine dignum animum ostendant. (Let us teach all children who show courage worthy of that name.)

That pendant was made when my senior entered school, and I'm sure... he bought it himself. While secretly dreaming of being a Gryffindor... Oh, how did my senior remain a pure Gryffindor until the very end?

Senior, I... I'll keep your promise. And I'll learn, too, what Gryffindor's mission is.

😎 Simple interpretation and thoughts ✨️

The dorm I was assigned to was 'Gryffindor'! 🦁 First of all, Jimin's self-esteem and identity were greatly lowered due to distorted rumors.

When he first entered Hogwarts, he probably braced himself by buying himself a Gryffindor pendant, but external factors prevented him from taking action. He may even have resented the Sorting Hat for assigning him a house.

Then, when he meets the freshman female protagonist, he finds out what Gryffindor was pursuing, why the Sorting Hat sorted him into Gryffindor, and the Gryffindor characteristics and motto of courage and boldness that he possesses.

And so, Jimin repays the kindness of the heroine who pulled him out of the pit by doing something that he would never have done without courage, and the story ends with him discovering his Gryffindor identity.

Inspired by the Harry Potter setting where one's given abilities and characteristics are the criteria for selecting a dormitory, it contains a story of inner growth!

If I remember correctly... I think this week's topic was chosen as a reward for getting first place in my homework before... It was quite difficult 🥲 It was difficult because the world view was so detailed and large-scale, but it was meaningful!

When the heroine first entered the school, she didn't recognize the Latin inscription on the school's banner. It's a bit of a spoiler, but it actually said, "Never disturb a sleeping dragon!" Apparently, Hogwarts is inspired by a "sleeping lion"!

Yeoju, Jimin, and Jungkook are fictional characters who do not appear in the Harry Potter story. The female professor who appears in the middle, George hyung mentioned by Jungkook, the subject name, the professor in charge, and the female professor's comment when assigning dormitories all exist in the Harry Potter story!

And in the last scene, the phrase written in Latin on Jimin's pendant is the founding philosophy of Gryffindor, and the attached photo is a representative photo of Gryffindor dormitory with its symbolic animal, the lion, drawn on it!

I'm sharing these points because I think they'll be a fun and engaging part of this story! This assignment was also fun, diligent, and meaningful. 🙌 Thank you for reading 💓💓

+ By the way, the title of this episode is Latin for "courageous one," but it also has the ambiguous meaning of "lion"! I brought it here because I thought it was a word that fit Gryffindor so well 🥰
