More Than Magic (Hermione x Male reader)

Year 4 - What

It was the next day and as usual, we were waiting to see what our new D.A.D.A teacher was like and the is was going to be the oddest.

"Alastor Moody. Ex-Auror... Ministry malcontent... and your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. l am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, goodbye, the end. Any questions? When it comes to the Dark Arts... l believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?" Mad eye said.

"Three, sir," Hermione said.

"And they are so named?" Mad eye asked. 

"Because they are unforgivable the use of any one of them will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban," I said seeing that this was bothering Hermione. 

"Correct now the Ministry says your too young to see what these curses do I say different you need to know what you're up against you need to be prepared, you need to find another place to put your chewing gum beside the underside of your desk Mr Finnigan," Mad eye said without even looking at him and we all turn.

"No way the old cotter can see out the back of his head," Seamus said and Mad eye throws the chalk at him.  

"And hear across classrooms, so what curse shall we see first," Mad eye said.

"Here we go," I said to myself.

"Weasley," Mad eye said.

"Yes," Ron said a little afraid. 

"Stand, give us cures," Mad eye said.

"Well, my dad did tell me about one, the Imperius Curse," Ron said.

"Oh yes yes yes your father would know all about that gave the ministry a bit of grief a few years back, perhaps this will show you why," Mad eye said as he went to his desk.  

"You okay," I said and Hermione nodded weakly.

"Engorgio. Imperio!" Mad eye said as a spider grew in his hand and then moved around the room scaring us all.

"Don't worry. lt's completely harmless. If she bites... she's lethal," Mad eye said as the spider landed on Ron's head.

"What are you laughing at?" Mad eye as he sent the spider to Draco's face and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Get it off get it off!" Draco said in fear.

"Talented, isn't she? What should l have her do next? Jump out the window? Drown herself?" Mad eye said as the mood in the room shifted.

"Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did you-Know-Who's bidding, under the influence of the imperious Curse. But here's the rub. How do we sort out the liars? Another, another. Up, up. Come on. Longbottom, is it? Up. Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for herbology," Mad eye said as Neville nodded.

"There's the... The Cruciatus Curse," Neville said.

"Correct, correct. Come, come. Particularly nasty. The torture curse. Crucio!" Mad said as he used it on the spider.

The spider squeezed and screeched in pain under the curse as Neville twitched and squirmed.

"Stop it! Can't you see it's bothering him? Stop it!" Hermione yelled.

"Perhaps you could give us the last Unforgivable Curse, Miss Granger," Mad eye said as he placed the spider on our desk.

"No?" Hermione said barely audible.

"Avada Kedavra! The Killing Curse. Only one person is known to have survived it... and he's sitting in this room," Mad eye said killing the spider before walking to Harry.

"Brilliant, isn't he? Completely demented, of course, and terrifying to be in the same room with... but he's really been there, you know? He's looked evil in the eye," Ron said as we left Mad eyes class.

"There's a reason those curses are unforgivable. To perform them in a classroom... l mean, did you see Neville's face?" Hermione said as he came across Neville by the window.

"Neville?" I asked.

"Son? You all right? Come on. We'll have a cup of tea. I want to show you something," Mad eye said appearing from behind us.

"Hey, you okay that class looked like it really shook you," I said as Hermione and I sat in the great hall as kids put their names into the goblet.

"I'm... Okay I guess it's just..." Hermione said unsure of how to finish.

"Those are curses not spells not what we are here to learn more about," I said as the twins came in.

"Yes!" Fred said.

"Thank you, thank you," George said kids cheered.

"Well, lads, we've done it," Fred said.

"Cooked it up just this morning," George said.

"lt's not going to woooork," Hermione said looking smug.

"Oh, yeah?" Fred said

"And why is that, Granger?" George said.

"You see this? This is an Age Line. Dumbledore drew it himself," Hermione said pointing at the blue ring surrounding the goblet.

"So?" Fred said.

"So a genius like Dumbledore couldn't possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dimwitted as an ageing potion," Hermione said.

"Ahhh but that's why it's so brilliant," George said.

"Because it's so pathetically dimwitted," Fred said.

"Ready Fred," George said.

"Ready George" Fred said.

"Bottoms up," They both said taking the potion.

The two of them then jumped in the line and cheered as he put their names in the goblet blue flames burst out and then hit them. They were thrown back and hit the floor and then as they got up they were growing beards and long grey hair. The two of them then began fighting each other as a crowd from around the yelling fight fight fight all except for me and Hermione. 

"Something up," Hermione said.

"Naaa just a full moon tonight took my potion already," I said.

"It must be hard for you right," Hermione said.

"It's alright mostly I just get a little agitated you know twitchy," I said as Hermione laid her head on my shoulder and I put my hand around her shoulders. 

The next day we are all waiting to find out who will compete in the champion selection and I am excited. 

"Sit down. Please. Now the moment you've all been waiting for," Dumbledore said.

"Here we go," I said as the goblet burst to light.

"The Durmstrang champion is Viktor Krum," Dumbledore said. 

"No surprise there," I said.

"The champion for Beauxbatons. . . . . .is Fleur Delacour," 

"Huh wonder what she can do," I said.

"The Hogwarts champion... (Y/N) (L/N), (Y/N) (L/N)," Dumbledore said.

"What," Hermione said.

I stood up and walked the Dumbledore and took the paper it was my name but I didn't put it in Dumbledore gave me a look and I walked to where the other champions had. Just as I was about to open the door the goblet burst to life once more and another name flew out and Dumbledore caught it. 

"Harry Potter," Dumbledore said.
