Jae KIM's Bets 🔞

Publication of the 15th chapter today. 💪 The story currently has about 60,000 words.

Pairing: Jae KIM/MC, Jae Kim/Annie THORN

Rating: 🔞, NFSW. While the development of the main characters and their playful relationships, spiced with smut, is at the heart of this fiction, be aware that some darker topics will be addressed.

Warning/tags (non-exhaustive list): Explicit sexual content, smut, treatment of Love Potions as date-rape drugs, canon-typical violence, intimidation, referenced sexual assault, referenced harassment, mention of parental neglect and abandonment, language... Annie and Fergus deserve their own warning, I suppose...

Summary: When Jacob's sister makes a stupid bet to motivate him during the chore of washing dishes imposed by Pitts, she has no idea what she's getting into. Indeed, Jae Kim is a particularly mischievous boy, with much naughtier aims than she imagined. Will their little games strengthen their friendship, destroy it or lead to a romantic relationship?

⚠️This link leads to NSFW content. You have been warned. ⚠️

Extract (General Audiences):

“I won!”

Eyes sparkling with mischief, Jae looks at Annie with a victorious smile. She sighs in defeat, glaring at the two unequal piles of cooking pots. Pitts, the house-elf in charge of the kitchen, has tasked them with cleaning up piles of filthy pots and pans during their hours of detention. Without using magic, of course! Faced with her partner’s lack of enthusiasm and determined not to do all the work alone, she made a simple bet: Who would wash the most pots? Annie THORN or Jae KIM?

The pleasure of a victory alone was not enough to motivate him, so he decided on a stake to match the effort of doing their chore. The next item requested from the smuggler would be free if Annie wins, and a kiss from the witch would reward Jae's victory.

Once her surprise and blush faded, Annie accepted the terms of the bet, certain that she would win against this “less is more” advocate.

Big mistake. The witch underestimated her opponent’s efficiency or his motivation. Probably both.

The teenager leans her buttocks against the sink and crosses her arms over her chest with a sulky look. Everything about Jae’s attitude challenges her to keep her word, typical of a Gryffindor. Her friend has a certain charm with his jet-black hair, his fair skin, his eyes shining with intelligence and his high cheekbones. As for his body, Annie imagines him to be slender but toned, just like his hands, which he takes great care of. Among her friends, Jae is probably the one with the most unique personality. At once personable and secretive, Annie knows little about his personal life.

Where does he come from? What do his parents do? Where does he live? Why is he so desperate for money that he enters the dangerous smuggling business at such a young age? All unanswered questions. Her other friends all eventually open up to her, including the taciturn Talbott, but not Jae. Guessing that there’s no point in trying to draw him out, Annie has never asked him any questions. All she knows about him is therefore the result of her observations and what he has agreed to reveal spontaneously, such as his passion for cooking or his Korean origins.

Without his aura of mystery, Jae Kim would not be quite Jae Kim and Annie appreciates him for the complexity of his personality. She even finds him particularly attractive.

But the Gryffindor is far too proud of his triumph. This exasperates Annie, who approaches her friend to get it over with as quickly as possible. He moistens his lips in anticipation of his reward. She smiles sardonically...

Jae 🤝 Carewyn

Requested by @sakura-soldier

If there were two people in Hogwarts’s ‘90 class that by all logic shouldn’t have gotten on, it was the Gryffindor courier of “uncommon collectibles,” Jae Kim, and the Cursebreaking Slytherin paragon Prefect, Carewyn Cromwell. And yet somehow, someway, these two seventh years chatted amiably in the Hogwarts kitchen over several batches of cookies.

“Thanks again for the cover, Carewyn,” Jae muttered under his breath with a wry smile. “Couldn’t exactly get away with baking my dad’s favorite ginger cookies in Pitts’ kitchen by myself.”

“No problem,” said Carewyn. “But honestly, would it really be that bad if Pitts or anyone else found out you love cooking? I know you don’t want Pitts to force you to help cook everyone’s meals and all, but we have less than a year left.”

Jae laughed. “I know! And since I’ll undoubtedly do something that’ll land me in detention until I graduate, I don’t want my last few months in this place to involve me playing sous-chef to Pitts.”

Carewyn shook her head with a smile as she finished mixing in the flour for her and her mother’s traditional chocolate chip cookies. Once she’d put down the bowl, Jae peeked over the sizzling pot he was working with at Carewyn’s incomplete dough.

“Have you tried adding powdered milk?” he asked.

Carewyn blinked. “Powdered milk?”

“Yeah -- a tablespoon or two of that stuff can make for really chewy cookies. Or if you like them better crispy, just add more white sugar than brown.”

Carewyn grinned. “You sound like Penny talking about Potions.”

“Well, Potions isn’t too unlike cooking, really,” Jae said amiably. He then pointedly lowered his voice so that the elves couldn’t hear. “You even have two long-nosed, bad-tempered pains-in-the-arse lurking over your shoulder when you work, in both cases.”

With a soft giggle, Carewyn moved over to one of the house elves close by.

“Excuse me -- is there any powdered milk in the kitchen?” she asked.

The little elf gave a nod. “Yes, there is, Carewyn Cromwell. Would you like me to bring it to you?”

“That’s all right,” Carewyn said very politely. “I can go get it myself. Where is it kept?”

“In the cupboard.”

“Second shelf, far right corner,” Jae called over.

Nodding gratefully to the elf, Carewyn swept over to the cupboard, using Jae’s instructions to locate the powdered milk. Then she walked it back over to her station and portioned out a tablespoon into her dough.

“So who are those cookies for anyhow?” asked Jae. “Your mum and brother?”

“No -- we’ll bake plenty of cookies together, once I get home. Jacob’s been looking forward to it for months now,” she added with a slight, fond smile. “...I thought I’d portion these out in little bags for some people -- certain friends, maybe a teacher or two...”

“Like Flitwick?” Jae teased cheekily. “You suck-up.”

“Well, Flitwick’s always been a very good teacher,” Carewyn said coolly. “Besides, I should have something to give him, if I’m going to ask him about Undetectable Extension Charms.”

Jae’s lips curled up in a broad white grin. “Undetectable Extension Charm? That sounds like something I’d find handy. What do you want it for?”

“Storage, of course,” sniffed Carewyn. “Any flat I’d be able to afford in the next few years is probably going to be the size of a postage stamp, I’ll need some way to store all my clothes.”

“You know those Charms are highly regulated,” said Jae. “Don’t wanna get in trouble with your future bosses at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement...”

“What’s regulated is the use of Portable Extension Charms for private use, rather than for the production of objects,” Carewyn said with a wry smile of her own. “What I intend is to produce a wardrobe that people can securely store a lot of stuff in, while only having a concentrated amount of space. No one could complain if I only ended making one prototype of the product...especially if I gave it to my brother while he’s still looking for a permanent place to live, to hold his belongings in. If Jacob were then to, say, give that wardrobe back to me a year or so later because he no longer needs it, then I’ll just have to use it responsibly.”

Jae’s black eyes glinted as he smirked. “Nice.”

Once Carewyn had finished mixing in the chocolate chips, she started scooping out balls of dough onto a baking sheet and sliding it into the oven to bake. Jae, meanwhile, gently tossed the folded cookies he’d made in the boiling syrup he had at the stove.

“Don’t suppose you could get away with ‘producing’ something similar -- perhaps a briefcase, to help securely store one’s copious amounts of paperwork? -- and then generously bestow it to me as a graduation gift, after it doesn’t turn out the way you intended?” he asked mischievously.

“Not unless I wanted to raise a few eyebrows at the office for pulling the same trick twice,” said Carewyn dryly. She then smirked. “But you could always ask Ben if he’d help you cast one yourself.”

Jae’s face burst into an even bigger, brighter white smirk. “Cheers.”

I really doubt they’ll let us befriend Annalena even if it’s the only time we’ll see her though. It just doesn’t seem likely imo.

Yeah, I don't expect it to happen either. It was just something that came up with a few of my anons back when the datamines first dropped. Not sure how it became as big a debate topic as it did, because like you said, it's almost definitely not going to actually happen. But I'm not opposed to it if they do want to add her, and hey, after they added Dobby the House Elf of all people, I'd argue that anything is possible. No character addition to the Gobstones Gang will ever be as random or obscure as Dobby. Not Torvus, not Pitts, and certainly not Annalena. You hear that, Jam City? There's no character you can add that will be too out-of-place, not one! So give us Percy already!

How the Cursed Vaults work?

This is the idea I’m using in my series “Secrets and Riddles”, but it’s basically another theory. And since the series is not widely popular, I decided to post this in my more usual theory format to hopefully reach more people – because, not to brag or anything, I think I finally cracked it. Or at least I managed to answer a lot of questions.

Also, yeah, that means that this post is sort of a spoiler for the fanfic, especially the recent chapter 6. Just so you know.

A while ago, I also made an analysis on Rakepick’s role in the story and her connection with Jacob, which is kind of related to all of that, so I recommend checking it HERE. But that being said, I’ll focus mostly on the Cursed Vaults themselves this time.

Oh, and I’m kind of gonna ignore the Sunken Vault as we’ve seen it in Y6Ch42. I mean, I still believe that either it was fake, or we just didn’t really complete it entirely, or the writers simply screwed up at that point. Like, you can’t tell me that the final Vault was always supposed to be protected by just freaking rocks…

But without further ado, let’s get on with it.

The requirements to reach the final Cursed Vault

First of all, I’m pretty sure that the Vaults have to be open in a certain order. It explains why we’re finding in each column the clues only to the next Vault. I mean, we could get everything in the Vault of Ice and just go to whichever we figure out first. Moreover, we know that Jacob was opening the Vaults in the very same order as we.

Jacob was expelled shortly after Duncan’s death, so he couldn’t enter the Vault of Ice and the Vault of Fear then, because we know he was still at school when dealing with them. Moreover, in one of his notebook’s, he wrote:

“(…) the next vault” implies that he had to have some vault already behind him, and by elimination, it must’ve been the Vault of Ice, so the one which starts it all.

My second assumption in this theory is that you have to go through all the Vaults to be able to enter/open the final one. It’d explain why R made Jacob deal with all the Vaults before the Portrait Vault. I mean, we’re supposed to believe that they cared only about his Legilimency skills to open the Legilimency door, right? But if that was the case, they actually should’ve tried to keep him away from the previous Vaults, so he wouldn’t get hurt or something.

The third requirement is the one I talked quite a bit about on my blog already, and it’s about experiencing the loss. I always compare it to seeing Thestrals. The difference here is that I believe that you don’t necessarily have to see the moment of death as it’s very possible that Jacob wasn’t with Duncan when the explosion occurred. Moreover, I don’t think it even has to be death – I assume it’s mainly R’s interpretation. And yeah, that would mean that they planned Duncan’s death from the beginning, and that’s why they were so willing to risk his life with an extra-explosive potion. For MC, the loss would be of course about Rowan. What’s important here is that it explains why R insisted on killing one of our friends, despite the fact that they never gave us a reason for that (like, they didn’t say if it was punishment or what).

The mechanism behind the Cursed Vaults

Here, we’re stepping into the territory of speculations without as many proofs, but I think it really works overall.

All right, so imagine that the Cursed Vaults are like a chain around the treasure in the final Cursed Vault. At the very beginning, there’s a lock on the first link of the chain. Once you break the lock (in that case: defeat the Ice Knight), the lock moves to the second link: the Vault of Fear. Here, you break the lock either by defeating the Boss Boggart or by opening the column with a broken wand. Next, the lock moves to the Forest Vault where you break it by opening the column with the arrow. The lock moves to the Portrait Vault where you break it by defeating the dragon, and the lock moves to the Sunken Vault. I call this process the cycle.

Now, I assume that you have only one attempt at breaking the lock at each link. Otherwise, the cycle resets. This means that, for example, if you enter the Vault of Fear but fail to defeat the Boss Boggart, the cycle resets, and you have to go back to the Vault of Ice etc. Why it’s important? Mostly because of the note we found in the Weird Sisters TLSQ.

If R previously entered the Sunken Vault without the key, in my theory, it’d mean that the cycle reset – and so it’d explain why MC had to start from the Vault of Ice again at the beginning of the game. I doubt the key on its own would break the lock entirely, but the Sunken Vault, as the final one, might have a more sensitive security system.

On top of that, I concluded that once you successfully break the lock on one Vault, the Vault itself becomes kind of “inactive”. Remember when we were searching for Scabbers, and it led us to the Icy Corridor? It’d explain why the cursed ice was… different then:

Also, I know it’s a bit questionable how much of canon TLSQs are, but it’d potentially explain how Rakepick revived the Ice Knight in the “Call to Knighthood” TLSQ without any consequences (like reactivating the curse):

By the way, I’m still fascinated by the fact that Rakepick just… revived the Ice Knight. Like, how powerful is that woman? Also, of course she had to be extra like that in comparison to other professors...

Anyway, the point is that you can kind of “play” freely with the Vaults, as long as the lock moved to the next one. I also assumed here that the columns remain open – because technically, we’ve never seen whether or not they close after MC leaves the Vault. And it’s pretty important for the next part.

What the hell was the deal with all the clues?

I’ll start by saying that I absolutely don’t expect that Jam City will address it in the future. But guess what? I don’t care because I think I’m right either way. So, who and how placed the clues?

I believe that Jacob was responsible for the clues, probably along with Rakepick. However, I also assume that they only prepared them, and it was Dumbledore who placed them in the columns. It’d explain the scene we’ve seen during our Legilimency lesson with the Headmaster (Y5Ch19):

Also, in the Vault of Fear, we found the arrow and the Forest’s Map:

Now, this one is admittedly not my original idea - I remember reading it ages ago on Reddit (I believe). But I loved this theory ever since that this “R” was not a reference to R but to Rakepick. You know, as a hint that she’ll help us with the Forest Vault. And it actually makes a lot of sense, because where was the missing arrowhead? Buried.

The only way is to bury it because Rakepick has Sickleworth, and finding buried treasures is no problem for him. For anyone who doesn’t have a Niffler, or rather so well-trained Niffler, it’d be probably much harder. And look at that, we did use Sickleworth to find the arrowhead! That being said, I also always saw one big flaw in this theory…

See, I suspected for the longest time that Jacob had something to do with the clues, but it didn’t make much sense that he’d put that “R” on the map. He knew about R and that they’re called R – he had to know that it’d be confusing. HOWEVER, if it was Dumbledore placing the clues in the columns, perhaps it was him who put that “R” in the last moment to hint to Rakepick. I mean, if you ask me, it’s totally possible that Dumbledore at that point was aware that someone threatens Jacob, yet he didn’t know they’re called R. Jacob might’ve hidden that information in fear that if he tells Dumbledore too much, R will find out and they’ll punish him. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I actually find it pretty amusing to think that Dumbledore might’ve been a total scumbag who confused everyone with his one small addition, when for once, he genuinely thought he’s being helpful. Like, we know he’s a manipulative bastard, but in this case, he really could’ve screwed up by accident.

All right, but let’s move on. In the Forest Vault, we found a portrait with a dragon (which doesn’t need explanation) and a tiny sweater. And this damn sweater bothered me for so long. Like, not only it was totally abandoned by the writers, but no matter how I looked at it, it didn’t really make sense. All I had was a connection to House-Elves. I mean, it basically is a House-Elf size, and we had Patty hinting on something with House-Elves at the end of Y4:

Interestingly, we had some mentions of House-Elves even earlier in Y4. For example, it was one of the first things Rakepick did in Y4Ch1:

And then, in Y4Ch14:

But I couldn’t think of any connection between House-Elves and Hogsmeade. Like, was there a removed plot where the entrance to the Portrait Vault was through Hogsmeade, and not the Portkey? Was the Portkey supposed to work only in Hogsmeade?

And then, it hit me just recently: Pitts was supposed to lead us to Aberforth in the Hog’s Head Inn, who ultimately led us to the discovery about Legilimency. Because look, the way it actually happened in the game was simply… too random.

So, we had that whole plot with Rakepick figuring out the truth about Pettigrew. At one point (Y5Ch17), when we were interrogating Fletcher, he admitted that he left the Marauder’s Map for someone in front of the Hog’s Head Inn. Therefore, Rakepick sent us to check it out, and then we met Aberforth.

… and then we learnt about Legilimency. But like I said, the whole situation was just… very random, in my opinion. Moreover, I believe there was something more planned with that letter because when you think about it, it’s very strange, too. Like, what was in that letter? Was it only: “Come to my office. – A.D.”? Then why writing a letter at all? Aberforth could’ve simply told us this much. And if there was anything more, what was it? And why we never learnt it? I mean, MC always reads the notes/letters aloud. So, what’s the deal with that?

And so, I’m pretty sure that a tiny sweater was supposed to lead us to Pitts, who was supposed to somehow lead us to Aberforth. And you know what’s the best about this idea? There was once a side quest with Rita Skeeter, “Rita Returns”. It’s currently pulled out from the game, sadly, but we had there two opportunities to learn some information from Rita:

So yeah, I feel pretty confident about it.

Now, one last thing I want to discuss. In the Portrait Vault, we found a Trident and a Portkey back to Hogwarts.

A Trident doesn’t need much explanation, but there’s one interesting detail about a Portkey. I mean, other than the fact that it’s awfully convenient. But when we were asking House-Elves about the vault portrait in Y5Ch12, one of them said this:

And here, I’m thinking of two possibilities:

The House-Elf talked about Rakepick who already knew that the kids are gonna find the Portkey back to Hogwarts (because she knew about the clues).

The House-Elf was talking about the situation from years ago when the clues were placed. Obviously, Rakepick wasn’t a teacher back then. They wouldn’t call Dumbledore “a teacher” either. But you know who was a teacher at the time? Snape.

Here’s what I’m thinking. I assume that Jacob and Rakepick lost the vault portrait at some point, and that’s why MC had to actually search for it in Y5. Now, if that’s the case, Dumbledore probably couldn’t access the Portrait Vault, because I imagine that you need the Portkey for that. However, since Rakepick was there already to break the curse, she technically should be able to return there by Apparition, in order to place the clues. But there’s one more obstacle: the Legilimency door. And sure, it’s possible that they stay open after the curse is broken as well - just like the column. But if not, she’d also need a Legilimens. And look at that! It happens that Snape is a Legilimens! Why wouldn’t she Apparate with Dumbledore, though? Well, I imagine that they were short on time, and he was simply busy with other clues.

To sum up

So, to put it short. Jacob and Rakepick found out that R is planning to enter the Sunken Vault without the key. They knew it would reset the cycle of the Cursed Vaults. They decided to use it, and because the columns were still open, they had to act quickly to place the clues in there. Once R entered the Sunken Vault, the cycle reset and the columns closed, waiting for MC to find the clues inside.

And that’s it! As I said, I doubt Jam City will care to explain any of that, but I’m gonna be honest – I feel really good about this theory.
