Just Between Us (Harry Potter/Attack On Titan Crossover) (AruAni oneshot)

Just Between Us

// An- This is an entry for the crossover Wattpad contest. It's a crossover between the book, "Harry Potter" and the anime, "Attack on Titan". The first half is in Hermione's POV while the rest is in Armin's. This is my first oneshot so don't hate. //

~Hermione's POV~

I sighed and tapped my wand on my slightly crumpled parchment. I'd only written 5 inches, and even though the set amount was 3, I couldn't get less marks than last time. Well, it was my fault for leaving it till the night before, but head girl duties kept on piling up on me. Only today I'd had to complete the schedule for the Quidditch match tournament, break up a fight in the corridor (where I was nearly hit with a flying bogey hex) and meet with the head boy. And... Oh yes, tutor some students one on one-- Wait... I was meant to be doing that now!

I jumped back from my desk suddenly, making my paper on the 'History of The Troll Cold War' go flying. I'd have to finish it tomorrow morning. Nearly falling, I ran down the stairs that lead from the Head Girl's and Boy's quarters to Transfiguration Corridor. I was on the other side of the school from the Library, where I was supposed to be teaching a student ten minutes ago! I looked round and checked the corridor was empty. I hated doing this- it felt like cheating. I touched the embroidered tree, part of the landscape portrayed by the tapestry opposite me, and a sparkle of light grew from one of the apples. It widened into a hole big enough for me to crawl through. Once I'd shuffled through, I touched my hand to the hole, and it closed up again behind me. Professor Flitwick had taught me about this passage that went directly through the school, that no regular students could open.
The walls were lit by blue 'unflammable' jar flames, and it reminded me of when I used to make them so much, with Harry and Ron, before they decided to take jobs as Aurors, while I stayed here for a gap year.
I tried not to trip on the roughly carved stone floors as I hurried towards the end of the corridor, and came out in a broom closet- the one Filch never used.
I stumbled into the Library rather loudly, and got shushed by the librarian. Oops.
I glanced around and saw my student sat at the desk where I'd arranged to meet him.

"Oh I'm so so sorry I made you wait!" I said, feeling flustered.

"It's fine. I got my books out ready." he said shyly, looking at me from under his blonde fringe.

I lugged my file out of my backpack and read his sheet.

"Armin Arlert, right?"

He nodded in agreement.

"Okay....." I ran my finger down to information on the sheet. "Armin... Ravenclaw."

I looked at him quizzically. Ravenclaws didn't often need tutoring.

"I'm fine in the theory and tactics, I just need help with the practical spells... " he looked at me sheepishly.

"I'm Hermione Granger- Head Girl and I'll be tutoring you; we'll start with the most used wand positions, because that can be hard to master if you come from a non-magic family."

I began to show him the easiest way to cast charms, when someone coughed behind me.

"Excuse me!"

I turned around to see a girl in Slytherin robes, stood with her arms crossed and her blond hair up in a low bun.

"You're meant to be teaching me!" she said angrily and I cringed internally.

Not only did I come late, I double booked.

"I'm so sorry!" I said for the second time that day "I seemed to have double booked you. Is there any chance you could come back later?"

"No, I have Quidditch practice later-- Oh hi Armin!" her sullen, dark face split into a wide smile, and Armin went crimson.
