Three days removed from the Quidditch match and the five friends were sat in the study hall, working hard on assignments and revision. At least three of them were. Hermione looked up from her Herbology text to the two boys across from her, her eyes narrowing.

"You two really should take a page out of Y/N's book. He's working really hard. You two are just playing with those silly cards"

"We're having a break" Ron replied.

"Having a br... you haven't even started yet!?!" Hermione exclaimed in stunned disbelief.

"Well we-"

Ron's petulant arguing was cut off by Harry whisper-shouting in happy shock:

"Nicholas Flamel"

Y/N looked up from his book, Hermione looked at Harry stunned. She discreetly lowered her hand under the table and tapped Y/N's thigh. He lowered his own hand, realising she needed reassurance, and she grabbed and squeezed it tightly. He entered her mind:

He's picked up Nicholas on Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog Card, I'm surprised it took this long. Just keep to the plan, you're doing great.

Hermione squeezed again and answered:

Ok. Ok. Thank you for believing in me Y/N.

She heard back:

Always as Harry spoke:

"Guys I've found Nicholas Flamel"

The five had gone to the library, Lavender and the two boys taking a seat as Hermione and Y/N walked to the Alchemy rows of the library. Y/N reached up and pulled down a thick heavy book titled Alchemists of the Middle Ages and handed it to Hermione who smiled and thanked him.

"Here we go" she said to Y/N who nodded and kissed her on the top of the head, thinking:

Welcome to the world of espionage and subterfuge. You can do it 'Mione!

Hermione quickly hugged him before they returned to the table the three were sat at. She dropped the heavy book on the desk with a thump.

"We had you looking in the wrong section. I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading"

Ron looked at the book astonished, exclaiming:

"This... is light?"

Hermione glared at him and Y/N chuckled, relieved not to be on the receiving end of Hermione's fierce stare.

She opened the book to Nicholas Flamel and Lavender looked over Hermione's shoulder, reading aloud:

"Nicholas Flamel is the only known creator of the Philosopher's Stone!"

"The what?" Harry and Ron asked at the same time. Hermione huffed and rolled her eyes at the pair, saying quite disgusted:

"Honestly don't you two read?"
