The Wizard Who Could (Male Reader X Hermione Granger)

Start Of A Complex Boy

-HOGWARTS EXPRESS-

To say Y/N's Christmas Break was amazing, would be a fucking understatement.

Inside a compartment, Y/N is sitting by himself, crisscrossing his legs as his reads a book resting on his thighs. He is reading silently to himself while mouthing the words out.

"Splitting your soul and putting it in another object, eh? If this turns out to be a true spell, this practically means immortality. And all you have to do is kill someone?"

To Y/N's awareness only, a figure is sitting across from him. Only thing strange about it is that it's Melinoe in a slightly more transparent form—her TRUE form.

She simply watches him look up at her with a fleeting glance, seemingly not bothered by her ancient appearance. Although she liked being in her "human" skin, this form would also suit her best.

"If I was anyone else, you looking at me like that would give me "predatory" vibes." Y/N says in with small grin. He doesn't fail to notice his sister has been giving him such a "worried" look since they boarded the train. "You okay or something?"

"Fine. I'm fine." She reassures as Y/N gets back to his book. Melinoe can't help but keep an extra close eye on him, especially what his words and body language gave off during Christmas Dinner.

-CHRISTMAS DINNER-

"Mhm, Mhm, MHM. This food is amazing, mum!" Y/N exclaims loudly as he scraps the leftover Mac and cheese off his plate.

Everyone is sitting around the dinner table, sitting in front of an assortment of food; turkey, ham, Mac and cheese, collard greens, dressing, wings, dessert, etc. The atmosphere is quite pleasant with soft jazz music playing in the background.

Diana and Rhea are sitting on one side, Melinoe and Y/N sitting across from them. And at the head of the table is Hades, his shadow and mere presence looming over everyone present.
