The Girl Next Door (gxg)

The Big Test (part one)

Y/N's POV: "Ok everyone, listen up," Harry announced to the big group of students along with Sirius and I. We were in a very large and dark room called the 'room of requirements'. Apparently you stand in front of it, say what kind of room you need and it will appear. Something like that.
  "Today we're joined by none other than my godfather, Sirius Black. He has made a big effort to come out today and test our abilities so please, try your best! But before we go any further, I'll hand it over to Sirius himself." Harry took a step back and walked over to me as Sirius explained what he wanted to see. Harry grabbed my free hand and walked us over to the back of the room. 
     "So Uhm, what're we doing back here?" I whispered. "Well I just thought I'd let you know that you'll be sitting out today." He whispered back. I frowned, "What, why? I've learnt everything you told me to."                                                                                                                                             

   "Y/N, you have a fractured arm. Chances are, that the spells won't even work. Then you'll just be making a fool of yourself and I-."                                                                                                                                 "-Harry. I can do it. Trust me."

 He sighed and nodded, "Fine. But you'll be sitting out whilst everybody else is doing theirs. You can do yours later. Got it?"

"Yep. Absolutely." I grinned and jogged back to the group, giving Hermione a thumbs up when she looked at me.

Hermione's POV: Sirius had split us up into groups of girls and boys. He then paired us off to test our duelling skills. Of course, I was paired with Ron. I wasn't too happy about it because he's been acting really strange recently. 

Ron's POV: I wasn't very happy about being paired with Hermione because of everything that's been going on. But even though it was super awkward, I got on with it anyways. 

"Uhm, hi."

"Uh..hey Ron," Hermione hesitated as we both stood there, looking a bit foolish, "Let's- let's get started then, shall we?" I nodded in reply. 

Y/N'S POV: Of course Hermione had to be paired with that weasel. Out of all of the guys there, Ron was who Sirius put her with. Lovely. 

I sat on a chair to the left of the room quietly and looked around. I watched everyone carefully as each pair took turns duelling. They were all very good. Especially Hermione. This was the first time i've seen her use magic to defend herself. She was amazing. Knocked Ron right off his feet. I shouldn't really be surprised though, considering she is amazing at pretty much everything she does. 

Hermione's POV: I think I did very well in the duelling section of the test. Everybody else thought so too. They all clapped when I spelled Ron to the ground. All the girls came and surrounded me to congratulate me. I must've done very well to have them crowding around me. 

After they had all finished praising me, Luna tapped my shoulder and asked, "Hey Hermione, who might that girl be?" She was pointing to Y/N on the side. But before I could answer, Ginny answered, "That girl is Hermione's girlfriend!" 

All the girls started muttering and asking about Y/N as if they had never seen a new person before. They kept saying things like, 'Wow, your girlfriend's really pretty', and, 'Hermione, you're so lucky, I wish I had someone as good-looking as her.' 

"What's her name?" One girl asked. "Uhm, Y/N Y/L/N." I responded as the mutters restarted, a bit louder this time.

It was all a bit weird but I knew it had something to do with the way Y/N was sitting and the face she was making. 

Whenever Y/N is really trying to concentrate on something, she puts her finger guns up against her face and half-smoulders. Even with a fractured arm, she can still make that pose look good. But as attractive as it is, I've told her so many times to not do it in public because so many people stare and it always makes me really uncomfortable. 

Y/N'S POV: There must've been something wrong with what I was doing because all the girls surrounding Hermione were looking at me. She stood there in the middle of the group, blushing. I wasn't really sure what to do so I just smiled and waved awkwardly, getting a bunch of giggles in return. To be honest, it's not the first time something like this has happened. I'd always get stares from both girls and guys whenever I was out with Hermione. No idea why though.
