Book 3] Harry Potter x male OC

Part 19-Patronus Charm

Midnight

Lucas.POV

I sat on the floor, in front of fireplace and gazing towards the fire that burn the wood glamorously. I read the news again

??? : Lucas?

I look to my right and it was Hermione

Lucas : (smile) hey Hermione. Come, sit

She joins me on the floor

Hermione : Harry said that you staying with your grandfather on holidays

Lucas : true. We already go to America for vacation

Hermione : how's there? In America?

Lucas : have you read the news? About America?

Hermione : well yeah. We read the news. It was horrible

Lucas : well that's the same thing i felt. How's Michelle?

Hermione : she's asleep. She looks wasted

Lucas : I'd be surprised if she weren't. Why you still awake in this time? It's already midnight

Hermione : i can say the same thing for you

Lucas : there's something in my head

Hermione : well, what is-

Lucas : it's personal

She goes silence for a bit

Hermione : maybe i can help you

There's a beat before i spoke

Lucas : come to think of it, you should go to bed

When i want to stand up, she held my hand

Hermione : can we... stay like this for a few minutes?

A beat of silence before i talks again

Lucas : *sigh*, okay. But for a few minutes

Hermione : thanks

I sit again and gazing at the fire. Suddenly, Hermione rest her head on my shoulder

Hermione : i missed you

Lucas : it's just 8 days

Hermione : still. And also, it was already my routine if you still not in your bed

30 Minutes

I still gazing on the fire. When i look at Hermione, she's already asleep. I slide my hand to her hair

Lucas : it's soft

I continue to caressing her hair. She snuggles to me and moved her head to my neck

Lucas : i kinda missed you too

After that, i hear someone walking to me

Michelle : she really missed you, huh?

Lucas : seems like it. You still awake? You should rest

Michelle : yeah. But suddenly i remember...

She looks at Hermione and then back at me again
