More Than Magic (Hermione x Male reader)

Year 3 - I'm Fine Really

"Honeyduke's Sweetshop is brilliant, but nothing beats Zonko's Joke Shop," Ron said as he told Harry about Hogsmead.

"Yeah and here since you didn't get to go," I said handing Harry a bag of sweets.

"Thanks mate," Harry said 

"Anytime," I said.

"We never got to go to the Shrieking Shack. You heard it's the most...," Hermione said turning to me.

"Haunted building in Britain. I know," I said smiling at her.

"What's going on?" Harry asked as we all wait to get back into the dorm seeing a huge crowd.

"Probably Neville forgot the password again," Ron said.

"Hey," Neville said from behind us.

"Oh, you're there," Ron said.

"Let me through, please. Excuse me! I'm Head Boy!" Percy said pushing to the door.

"Get back, all of you. No one is to enter this dormitory until it's been searched," Percy said. 

"The Fat Lady! She's gone!" Ginny said as she came over to us.  

"Serves her right. She was a terrible singer," Ron said.

"It's not funny, Ron," I said.

"Keep calm, everyone. Break into fours. Back to your common room," Percy said.

"Make way," Dumbledore said.

"The headmaster's here," Percy said.

"Come on, move," Dumbeldore said.

"You heard. Move!" Percy said.

"Mr. Filch? Round up the ghosts. Tell them to search every painting in the castle to find the Fat Lady," Dumbledore said as he ran his hand over one of the three large cuts in the Fat Lady's empty portrait.

"There's no need for ghosts, professor. The Fat Lady's there," Filch said pointing to a painting a few staircases up.

"Mind where you're going! Slow down! You listen! I'm Head Boy!," Percy said as we all pushed past him to where Filch was pointing.

"Dear lady, who did this to you?," Dumbledore said.

"Eyes like the devil, he's got, and a soul as dark as his name. It's him, headmaster. The one they all talk about. He's here, somewhere in the castle! Sirius Black!" The Fat Lady said as she cried in fear.

"Secure the castle, Mr. Filch. The rest of you, to the Great Hall," Dumbledore said.

Since our dorm was now a crime scene we all spent the night in the great hall I was laying on my sleeping bag next to Hermione. I had my eyes open and I was unable to sleep I heard Dumbledore talking to the other teachers so I turned to my side and saw Hermione sleeping peacefully I smiled at that and went to sleep.

The next day I sat in our DADA class Hermione was yet to use her Time-Turner to arrive soon Snape came in shutting the windows as he did before pulling down a projector sheet.

"Turn to page 394," Snape said.

"Excuse me, sir. Where's Professor Lupin?" Harry asked as Snape walked by his desk.

"That's not really your concern, is it, Potter? Suffice it to say your professor finds himself incapable of teaching... at the present time. Turn to page 394," Snape said.

"Werewolves?" Ron said as Snape forced his book open.

"Sir, we just learned about red caps and hinkypunks. We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks," Hermione said.

"Quiet," Snape said.

"When did she come in? Did you see her come in?" Ron said to Harry with him shaking his head.

"Now, which one of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf," Snape said as Hermione and I raised our hands.

"No one? How disappointing," Snape said.

"Please, sir. An Animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice. With each full moon he no longer remembers who he is. He'd kill his best friend. The werewolf only responds to the call of its own kind," Hermione said as Draco howled.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. That's the second time you've spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Are you incapable of restraining yourself or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?" Snape said as he leaned into her desk and I just glared at him.

"Five points from Gryffindor. As an antidote to your ignorance, and on my desk, by Monday morning two rolls of parchment on the werewolf, with emphasis on recognizing it," Snape said as we groaned.

"But sir it's Quidditch tomorrow," Harry said.

"Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr. Potter. Loss of limb will not excuse you," Snape said.

"You okay," I said to Hermione.

"Yeah, why?" Hermione said.

"You kind of deflated when Snape said insufferable," I said.

"I'm fine really," Hermione said.

"Well just remember I'm here if you ever want to talk," I said.
